Charles Ansbacher’s Denver International Airport: Gargoyles, demon horses, and paintings of death, mayhem and violence–enjoy your trip

This article is part VII of a series.  Click here to visit part VI.  And again, please watch all the videos below for context and support of the text.

It has already been well covered the disturbing imagery and obvious occult artwork at the Denver International Airport.  If you’ve been to the DIA, you have surely seen the giant demon horse that greets visitors in front reared up and ready to mount a female of its choosing.  A lot of fair-minded people have dismissed the horse with its glowing red eyes thinking it’s a tribute to the Denver Broncos.  It’s not.  The horse actually killed the artist during construction and it continues to send uneasy speculation through visitors of the busiest airports in the world daily.

The DIA is the brain child of the New Word Airport Commission, specifically Charles Ansbacher who was the founder and died in 2010.  Upon his death, the following was said about him and his work at the airport”

Charles Ansbacher, the man who coined the name of the New World Airport Commission listed on the Masonic capstone in DIA’s great hall, passed away Sunday night. He was also instrumental in creating the airport’s enormous art program, which commissioned works such as the Tanguma murals and the Mustang.

According to this article from the Colorado Springs Gazette:

Ansbacher left Colorado Springs in 1988 to serve as director of the New Airport Art Program, a $7.5 million art initiative incorporating 30 art projects into Denver International Airport’s architecture, landscaping and interior design.

“This is … the largest, most comprehensive public art project of any airport on earth,” Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper told the Cambridge Chronicle. “It’s certainly the most provocative, the most transformational. … Ansbacher has enriched every place he has been by his own vision and his willingness to give of himself back to the community.”

Given the vast amount of evidence provided here in previous articles it should be quite clear what is going on from the high degree Masons involved with the New World Airport Commission.  It should be noted that the first two places in America to accept the legalization of marijuana was the gradual liberalization of Denver, Colorado and through the underground music scene in Seattle, Washington.  Is it a coincidence that the Aurora theater shooting took place in a Denver suburb?  Probably not.  Is it a coincidence that two school shootings also took place in Denver suburbs inciting a national fervor in favor of repealing the Second Amendment?  Probaly not.  Is it any coincidence that mega rich liberal activists like George Soros and his friends support drug legalization and open boarders pouring fortunes of money into the cause of breaking down psychological resistance for an undefined objective, and that the first place in America to accept this open drug policy is Denver?  Probably not. But that is all speculation, let’s stick with what we know and that is that the DIA has made obvious choices in art out of all possible works to pour 4.8 billion dollars into something that has been meticulously planned to be an art exhibited that purposely interacts with the public in very obvious ways—and that the shock value is very Masonic in its subversive message—a slow withering of resistance to their belief system with art that is clearly occult driven.  If one does not understand the occult message—consciously, they might just be spooked by the images at the DIA, but not pay much attention otherwise.  However, after reading these connected articles and having the curtain pulled back a bit into the occult beliefs of the high degree Mason’s behind The New World Airport Commission, the strategy becomes quite clear.

I had a guy read some of these articles and report to me that he was a Christian and had been a Mason for over thirty years—and he denied that there was anything malicious, or sinister about their methods.  Well, I have seen it first hand—I have been places I shouldn’t have been, and I know well what’s going on behind the curtain.  Also, I have right next to my reading stand a book I have picked through and read a half a dozen ways to a thousand called The Golden Bough by Sir James Frazer—a work of comparative mythology–this is the same book that pulled Jack Parsons into the occult.  I understand how symbols have been used over time to invoke in the subconscious the effects of a well told story and how such rituals are meant to summon emotional change in the subjects.  Over the last seven articles dear reader I have taken you on a journey into The Golden Dawn from Europe, introduced you to Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons, explained the Scarlet Woman, and demonstrated how music has been used to subtly introduce the concept of mass collective sacrifice from millions upon millions of people.  Not a literal sacrifice such as what might have been found in Mesopotamia, Egypt or in the Yucatan Peninsula, but intellectual sacrifice where millions of souls yield their mind to some foolish notion of a “greater good.”

 I believe that the Bush family regards themselves as good Christians, yet they are high degree Masons who routinely attend the little gathering in the forest outside of San Francisco where a lot of the images seen at the DIA are quite at home—and those rituals have been explained extensively here.  The participants actually believe they are acting on behalf of “the good” but that their “good” is more encompassing of higher knowledge than the simpletons who regulate their religious aspirations just to the Holy Bible.  It is not an accident that Barbra Bush’s mother was involved with Aleister Crowley just after his activity with The Golden Dawn.  Barbra would just happen to marry a guy who would become president and evolve into a high degree Mason who was in charge of the CIA, was ambassador to the United Nations, and is a Skull and Bones secret society member.  George Bush the senior is such a good guy.

Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons believed they were good guys too—liberating the mind of mankind from the shackles of sexual restriction.  And high degree Mason’s like George Bush Sr. think they are good guys, and Barbra is a good lady—and everything they do is for the “greater good.”  They are nice, altruistic, protectors of the weak, the ignorant, and the otherwise helpless.  Charles Ansbacher likely believed the same thing from his point of view when he led the New World Airport Commission to erect the giant demon horse with red glowing eyes, built the runway in the shape of a swastika, had gargoyles in the luggage area, and murals scattered throughout which are consistent with the beliefs of Thelema which has been explained extensively.

There was a reason that Hitler used swastikas as his symbol for the Third Reich.  Swastikas have a deep history in Europe as a good luck symbol and actually dates back to the Indus Valley civilization.  In Jainism the swastika serves as a reminder of the cycles of birth and death and that mankind is born into one of four destinies, heavenly beings, human beings, animal beings, and hellish beings.  Yet the focus of these various aspects comes together in the center.  The swastika means virtually the same thing as the Christian cross.  The reason that Christ hangs on that emblem is to invoke the message that through Christ redemption can be found with everlasting eternity.  The swastika is intended to do the same thing; through the center of all those points is the way to enlightenment.  In the case of the Denver International Airport  Charles Ansbacher and his New World Airport Commission thought it would be fun, and good to have a living art exhibit exclusively dedicated to Masonic imagery to appease the “creator” with the same reverence as the Nazca painted their lines on the ground of Peru, or the proximity of the Great Pyramids to the gigantic Baalbrek triangulation from the air with Mt Sinai intending to appease Planet Earth’s creators.  The DIA is simply the most recent attempt by the world’s wannabe high priests to place themselves between man and God as a mediator, and protector.  From the point of view of those who think swatstikas are cool, demon horses with glowing red eyes are virtuous, and masked police officers killing doves are physiologically healthy, they are attempting to bring all of society to the center of the swastika, to the central point beyond all pairs of opposites, where animals, demons, and all human beings are equal to each other.  By destroying the preconceived notion of “good” they can then bring all of humanity to a “higher” plane of reality—and for them—they believe they are doing a good thing.  Just like Aleister Crowley believed he was doing good, and Jack Parsons did as well as he was sleeping with his wife’s sister right out in front of the entire O.T.O congregation hoping to invoke the Babalon goddess–the Thelema messiah so the world would be saved.

What makes the work of Charles Ansbacher, George Bush, and Aleister Crowley so evil is not their intentions—which I believe are always good.  What makes them evil is that they presume to act on the behalf of individuals everywhere.  If the plan at the DIA is to lower people’s resistance to illegal drug use so to free their mind to greater realities through a bombardment of freemason imagery—they assume incorrectly that all people need collective salvation to achieve proper self illumination.  They assume that all people are functioning from the same mental restrictions as they are—their treacherous commitment to group activity and fear to stand on their own as an individual contributor to existence.  If the goal of these secret societies is to invoke violence through renegade shooters so that innocent children will be killed in schools and movie theaters for the greater good of America forcing them to take a hard stance against the Second Amendment the instigators are evil for imposing their faulty belief system upon the masses.

Charles Ansbacher, the Masons behind the DIA, O.T.O members, Skull and Bones society members, and all groups everywhere are wrong with their basic premise in assuming that their thoughts are correct and good for all individuals.  They fail in imposing collective salvation over the will of the individual human being and that is why they are vile.  They are attempting to herd society into a direction of their choosing—and in the case of the DIA, their strategic movements are quite obvious and literal.  They are unquestionably trying to move society into a direction that their occult beliefs conceive to be beneficial by the artistic rendition. They want to bring people to the center of the swastika—beyond all pairs of opposites for a goal that is important to them from the perspective of their very limited group assimilation.

The solution to resisting evil is not provided by one more group of robed old men and their Latin chants or their dedication to Mother Earth through some ancient belief derived from the Indus Valley.  It does not come by more people smoking pot, or having sex with a Scarlet Women hoping to bring back to the world the goddess Babalon.  It doesn’t come from gun control, a one world currency managed by the same type of people who brought us the art work at the DIA, or another stupid Miley Cyrus song with her tongue hanging out as if every man in America wants that thing on their phallic unit.  It comes from the individual and the products of that mind and no other. It comes from a completely new way of looking at the same problem for the first time in history—a true product of individual minds at work following not the bliss of their high priest masters—but the sacred temples which exists not in stones and granite, but of their own cerebral enterprise between their two ears, two eyes, a mouth and the feel of their finger tips.  It is there that true salvation resides and what is meant by the phrase—Who is John Galt.

Tomorrow as a kind of prologue to this series, you will find out who John Galt is and why he is important to you.

The Scarlet Women: Real secrets behind the “green movement”

 

This is Part VI of a series.  CLICK HERE to read Part V. 

   Yes there are a lot of videos here.  Watch them for evidence to the text. 

If one did the work they would discover that the progressive belief in global warming, human sacrifice of achievement to the preservation of Mother Earth, and even the treacherous aspects of feminism have their roots in Aleister Crowley’s invention of the Scarlet Woman.  Crowley through his occult rituals and Masonic history took the kind of behavior conducted behind the secret societies of Europe and several American presidents and made them mainstream and accessible to the entertainment industry in the early days of Hollywood.  Aleister Crowley’s direct student, Jack Parsons would become the central figure of the counter-culture movement where watered down aspects of Thelemic belief would turn America culture upside down and destroy all sense of tradition.  When some vile hippie cries braless and stoned for the health of Mother Earth, they are simply reiterating the concept invented by Crowley of the Great Mother, the Mother of Abominations—the Scarlet Woman of Gnostic Mass.  It is the Scarlet Woman that the Green Movement is truly dedicated to and the means of appeasing her requires collective sacrifice to the Mother of Abominations for the task of appeasing her cohort—the The Beast. 

 

Babalon also known as the Scarlet Woman, Great Mother or Mother of Abominations) is a goddess found in the mystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904 with English author and occultistAleister Crowley‘s writing of The Book of the Law. In her most abstract form, she represents the female sexual impulse and the liberated woman; although in the Creed of the Gnostic Mass she is also identified with Mother Earth, in her most fertile sense.[1] At the same time, Crowley believed that Babalon had an earthly aspect in the form of a spiritual office, which could be filled by actual women—usually as a counterpart to his own identification as “To Mega Therion” (The Great Beast)—whose duty was then to help manifest the energies of the current Aeon of Horus.

Her consort is Chaos, the “Father of Life” and the male form of the Creative Principle. Babalon is often described as being girt with a sword and riding the Beast. She is often referred to as a sacred whore, and her primary symbol is the Chalice or Graal.

As Crowley wrote in his The Book of Thoth, “she rides astride the Beast; in her left hand she holds the reins, representing the passion which unites them. In her right she holds aloft the cup, the Holy Grail aflame with love and death. In this cup are mingled the elements of the sacrament of the Aeon“.

Babalon is a complex figure, although within Thelemic literature, she has three essential aspects: she is the Gateway to the City of the Pyramids, the Scarlet Woman and the Great Mother.

Within the mystical system of the A∴A∴, after the adept has attained the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel, he then might reach the next and last great milestone — the crossing of the Abyss, that great spiritual wilderness of nothingness and dissolution. Choronzon is the dweller there, and his job is to trap the traveler in his meaningless world of illusion.

However, Babalon is just on the other side, beckoning. If the adept gives himself totally to her—the symbol of this act being the pouring of the adept’s blood into her graal — he becomes impregnated in her, then to be reborn as a Master of the Temple and a saint that dwells in the City of the Pyramids. From Crowley’s book Magick Without Tears:

[S]he guardeth the Abyss. And in her is a perfect purity of that which is above, yet she is sent as the Redeemer to them that are below. For there is no other way into the Supernal mystery but through her and the Beast on which she rideth.[2]

And from The Vision and the Voice (12th Aethyr):

Let him look upon the cup whose blood is mingled therein, for the wine of the cup is the blood of the saints. Glory unto the Scarlet Woman, Babalon the Mother of Abominations, that rideth upon the Beast, for she hath spilt their blood in every corner of the earth and lo! she hath mingled it in the cup of her whoredom.

She is considered to be a sacred whore because she denies no one, and yet she extracts a great price — the very blood of the adept and his ego-identity as an earthly individual. This aspect of Babalon is described further from the 12th Aethyr:

This is the Mystery of Babylon, the Mother of Abominations, and this is the mystery of her adulteries, for she hath yielded up herself to everything that liveth, and hath become a partaker in its mystery. And because she hath made her self the servant of each, therefore she becomes the mistress of all. Not as yet canst thou comprehend her glory.

Beautiful art thou, O Babylon, and desirable, for thou hast given thyself to everything that liveth, and thy weakness hath subdued their strength. For in that union thou didst understand. Therefore art thou called Understanding, O Babylon, Lady of the Night!

The concept contained within this aspect of Babalon is that of the mystical ideal, the quest to become one with All through the annihilation of the earthly ego (“For as thy blood is mingled in the cup of BABALON, so is thine heart the universal heart.”[3]). The blood spilling into the graal of Babalon is then used by her to “flood the world with Life and Beauty” (meaning to create Masters of the Temple that are “released” back into the world of men), symbolized by the Crimson Rose of 49 Petals.[4]

In sex magic, the mixture of menstrual blood and semen produced in the sexual act with the Scarlet Woman or Babalon is called the Elixir Rubeus (abbreviated as El. Rub. by Crowley in his magical diaries), and is referred to as the “effluvium of Babalon, the Scarlet Woman, which is the menstruum of the lunar current” by Kenneth Grant.[5]

“This is Babalon, the true mistress of The Beast; of Her, all his mistresses on lower planes are but avatars” said Crowley in The Vision and the Voice.[6]

Although Crowley often wrote that Babalon and the Scarlet Woman are one, there are also many instances where the Scarlet Woman is seen more as a representative or physical manifestation of the universal feminine principle. In a footnote to Liber Reguli, Crowley mentions that of the “Gods of the Aeon,” the Scarlet Woman and the Beast are “the earthly emissaries of those Gods.” (Crowley 1997, Liber V vel Reguli). He then writes in The Law is for All:

It is necessary to say here that The Beast appears to be a definite individual; to wit, the man Aleister Crowley. But the Scarlet Woman is an officer replaceable as need arises. Thus to this present date of writing, Anno XVI, Sun in Sagittarius, there have been several holders of the title.

What a lot of people have a hard time understanding is that the Beatles musician John Lennon was also a follower of Aleister Crowley and had his mind well prepared to do the work of Thelema indirectly as a premier advocate of the counter-culture movement. Like most things in Thelema teaching things often have two meanings, which appear to be the case with the 1959 novel Alas Babylon.  In 1965 journalist Larry Kane gave Lennon a copy of Alas Babylon which the singer devoured in a single night. On one hand Babylon is symbolic of the Biblical city from Revelation 18:10: Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.  The novel was a statement against nuclear war—but there was another meaning which meant a great deal to counter-culture members like Lennon and other hippie advocates.  Babylon was simply another spelling for Babalon, the goddess from Crowley’s The Book of the Law.  The nuclear war was not so much a threat to humanity as much as it was to the great goddess of Thelema belief.  It was an attack against the great Mother Earth herself—the living embodiment of the Scarlet Woman, her menstrual blood was the lava of volcanoes, her tears the rain that falls from the skies, and her temperament something to be feared like a frightened child reveres a tumultuous parent.  John Lennon was thus inspired to write a number of songs against nuclear war and would personify the symbol of peace, which was actually created by the KGB to pacify resistance to their great communist spread—which followers of Thelema religion also supported.  Jake Parsons was a communist and Aleister Crowley thought of himself as an “aristocratic communist.”  These were the men who so greatly influenced John Lennon who like Led Zeppelon were part of the “British Invasion” which was quite literally true.  Crowley’s native country rooted in The Golden Dawn wished to bring the Thelema beliefs to America behind a political movement called progressivism.

Alas Babylon is about Randy (Randolph) Bragg who lives in the small Central Florida town of Fort Repose and appears to be drifting down a somewhat aimless path in life when his older brother, Colonel Mark Bragg, an Air ForceIntelligence officer, sends his wife and two children to stay in Fort Repose, explaining that, because the Soviet government believes it can succeed, it will be emboldened to risk war. Mark is flying his family down to Florida for their protection while he stays at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska.

Soon after, an American fighter pilot attempting to intercept an enemy plane over the Mediterranean inadvertently fires an AIM-9 Sidewinderheat-seekingmissile that goes off course and hits an ammunition depot in Latakia, Syria, resulting in a large explosion. This event becomes the apparent casus belli for the Soviet Union to launch a nuclear strike against the United States and her allies. Early the following morning, Soviet missiles arrive from over the Arctic, as well as from submarines, while American missiles are sent in response. Randy and his house guests are awakened by shaking due to bombing of various air force bases and naval air stations across central and northeast Florida; one explosion temporarily blinds Peyton, Randy’s niece.

Things are chaotic at first: Tourists are trapped in their hotels, telegraph lines fail to work, the use of the CONELRAD radio system exposes its weaknesses, convicts escape from jails and prisons, and a run on the bank results in the bank’s closing. Randy organizes his immediate neighbors to provide housing, food, and water for themselves.

Over the months, news trickles in exclusively through the radio. Most of the government on both sides has been eliminated. The current American president, Josephine Vanbruuker-Brown, was formerly the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Having been active as a part-time Army Reserve officer before the Soviet attack, Randy organizes a community self-defense team against bandits and works to rid the community of radioactive jewelry smuggled into Fort Repose from the ruins of Miami.

The following year, Air Force helicopters make contact with Fort Repose. While they offer to evacuate the residents from Florida, which is considered a “contaminated zone,” the residents choose to stay. It is revealed that the United States won the war, but at a tremendous cost as it is now the recipient of aid from third world countries such as Brazil and Venezuela.

The events described above are the basic foundations for the new Green Movement.  The war against coal, the hatred of fossil fuels, capitalism, and all manners of selfish human achievement is viewed by the supporters of the original Scarlet Woman as literally evil, because they are willing to sacrifice all for her appeasement—even their very lives and reputations.  President Obama is certainly one of these supporters.  When Hillary Clinton declares that she is a proud turn of the century progressive, she is talking about the wind which blew the sails of political change called Thelema and its reverence to the Scarlet Women.  This is why feminists enjoy so much reference to ancient female goddess power—because the foundations of their belief system came directly from the works of Thelema—from the most wicked man in the world—Aleister Crowley. 

Bet you didn’t know any of that dear reader……………….but now you do.  Stay tuned tomorrow where you will learn all about the Denver International Airport and the heavy Masonic artwork provided there that intends to pave the way toward the legalization of marijuana—and a collective opening of the world to the ways of a Master of the Temple and a saint that dwells in the City of the Pyramids.  The workings of these mechanisms are right out in the open at the 15th busiest airport in the world intending to bring about a mass ritual reverence to the great Scarlet Women of Babalon, as you will soon see for yourself.  Prepare your mind for this very startling conclusion to a sinister plot against us all invoked over one hundred years ago.  And if you catch your government school forcing your child to read Alas Babylon, now you know that there are two reasons—and they aren’t warnings about nuclear war.

Jack Parsons and the Occult: The birth of NASA, government looters, and sexual sacrifice

This is Part V of a series, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PART IV:

This is the comment of Jack Parsons who was a leader of the O.T.O temple in Pasadena, California and the primary driver of the Cal Tech rocket program that would compete directly with Robert Goddard for NASA’s journey into space.  He was also a very close friend of L.R. Hubbard—so close that they often shared women sexually.

“The dictatorship of the proletariat is merely temporary—the state will eventually wither away like a snark hunter, leaving us all free as birds. Meanwhile it may be necessary to kill, torture and imprison a few million people, but whose fault is it if they get in the way of progress?[146]”

From early on in his career, Parsons took an interest in socialism and communism,[143] views that he shared with his friend Malina.[144] Under the influence of another friend, Sidney Weinbaum, the two of them joined a communist group in the late 1930s, with Parsons reading Marxist literature, but he remained unconvinced and refused to join the American Communist Party.[37] Malina asserted that this was because Parsons was a “political romantic,” whose attitude was more anti-authoritarian than anti-capitalist.[145] Parsons would later become critical of the Marxist-Leninist government of the Soviet Union led by Joseph Stalin, leading to the above quoted comments.

During the era of McCarthyism and the Red Scare, he was questioned as to his former links to the communist movement, by which time he denied any connection to it.  Instead he described himself as “an individualist.”[147]

Influenced by Thelema, which holds to the ethical code of “Do what thou wilt,” in the 1940s Parsons became a vocal social libertarian. In his article, Freedom is a Lonely Star, he championed the libertarian social views of some of the Founding Fathers of the United States, which were enshrined in the American Constitution, claiming that by his own time these had been “sold out by America, and for that reason the heart of America is sick and the soul of America is dead.”[148] He proceeded to criticize many aspects of contemporary U.S. society, particularly the police force, remarking, “The police mind is usually of a sadistic and homicidal trend” and noting that they carried out the “ruthless punishment of symbolic scapegoats” such as African-Americans, prostitutes, alcoholics, homeless people and socio-political radicals, under the pretense of a country that had “liberty and justice for all.”[149] To bring about a freer future, Parsons believed in liberalizing attitudes to sexual morality, stating that in his belief, the publication of the Kinsey report and development of the psychonautical sciences had as significant an influence on Western society as the creation of the atomic bomb and the development of nuclear physics, and that in the future the restrictions on sexual morality within society should be abolished in order to bring about greater freedom and individuality.[150] In this context, Colin Bennett of the Fortean Times cites Parsons as one of the instigators of the countercultural movements of the 1960s.[151]

In January 1939, John and Frances Baxter, a brother and sister who had befriended Jack and Helen Parsons, took Jack to the Church of Thelema in Winona Boulevard, Hollywood, where he witnessed the performance of a Gnostic Mass. Parsons was intrigued, having already heard of Thelema’s founder Aleister Crowley after reading a copy of Crowley’s Konx om Pax (1907). Parsons’ formative interest in esotericism was developed through his reading of The Golden Bough (1890), a work in comparative mythology by Scottish social anthropologist James George Frazer.[39] With Helen he had attended a lecture on theosophy by philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, but was “nauseated” by its sentiment of “the good and the true.”[40]

At the mass Parsons was introduced to leading members Regina Kahl, Jane Wolfe, and Wilfred Talbot Smith. Feeling both “repulsion and attraction” for Smith, Parsons continued to attend the Church’s events sporadically for a year.[41] He continued to read Crowley’s works, which increasingly interested him, and encouraged Helen to do so too.[42] Parsons came to believe in the reality of magic as a force that could be explained through quantum physics.[42] He tried to interest a number of his friends and acquaintances in Thelema, at one point taking the science fiction authors Jack Williamson and Cleve Cartmill to a performance of the Gnostic Mass, and although they were unimpressed, Parsons was successful with a young Caltech student whom he had befriended, Grady Louis McMurtry, as well as McMurtry’s fiancee Claire Palmer, and Helen’s sister Sara Northrup, who was known as Betty.[43]

Parsons and his wife would finally be initiated into the Agape Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis on February 15, 1941, with Parsons adopting the Thelemic motto of “Thelema Obtenteum Proedero Amoris Nuptiae”, a Latin mistranslation of “The establishment of Thelema through the rituals of love”. The initials of this motto spelled out TOPAN, also serving as the declaration “To Pan.”[44] Commenting on Parsons’ errors of translation, in jest Crowley remarked that “the motto which you mention is couched in a language beyond my powers of understanding.”[45] Smith wrote to Crowley, claiming that Parsons was “a really excellent man … He has an excellent mind and much better intellect than myself … JP is going to be very valuable”,[46] while Wolfe wrote to the Thelemite Karl Germer to comment that Parsons was “an A1 man … Crowleyesque in attainment as a matter of fact.”[47] Crowley concurred with such assessments, informing Smith that Parsons “is the most valued member of the whole Order, with no exception!”[45]

Soon, science fiction writer and former United States Navy officer L. Ron Hubbard moved in to 1003; he and Parsons became close friends, with Parsons informing Crowley that Hubbard was “the most Thelemic person I have ever met.”[83] Although Parsons and Sara had always had an open relationship, she became enamored with Hubbard, causing Parsons intense jealousy.[84] Parsons began to devote increasing amounts of time to the ‘dark side’ of magic, becoming interested in the iconography of witchcraft, something that concerned many fellow OTO members, who believed that he had invoked troublesome spirits into the Parsonage. Parsons reported paranormal events in the house resulting from his rituals including poltergeist activity, sightings of orbs and ghostly apparitions, and disembodied voices. Pendle suggested that Parsons was particularly susceptible to these interpretations, and attributed the voices to a prank by Hubbard and Sara.[85] One ritual allegedly brought screaming banshees to the windows of the Parsonage, an incident that disturbed Ed Forman for the rest of his life.[86] Deciding to use magical means to attract a new lover, Parsons performed a series of rituals based in Enochian magic during which he masturbated on to magical tablets, accompanied by Sergei Prokofiev‘s Second Violin Concerto, using both his own semen and blood for this purpose. He allowed Hubbard to take part, believing that he was particularly sensitive to detecting magical phenomena.[87]

Their final ritual took place in the Mojave Desert on 18 January 1946, and on return to the Parsonage Parsons discovered that a woman named Marjorie “Candy” Cameron had come to visit. Believing her to be the “elemental” woman that he had invoked, he began performing sex magic rituals with her. Describing this as the Babalon Working, he hoped to bring about the incarnation of a Thelemite female messiah, Babalon, onto Earth, with Cameron acting as the “Scarlet Woman” in these rituals.[88] Although Crowley warned him of such an endeavor, Parsons was committed, and retreated to the desert, where he came to believe that a preternatural entity spoke to him, to provide him with Liber 49, which he believed to represent a fourth part of The Book of the Law, the primary sacred text of Thelema, as well as part of a new sacred text he called the Book of Babalon.[89] This accomplished, Parsons set about trying to sell the Parsonage for $25,000, on the condition that he could continue to live in the coach house, and he appointed Roy Leffingwell to head the Agape Lodge, which would now have to meet elsewhere for its rituals.[90]

What Parsons had in common with present day President Obama and the very evil Aleister Crowley is that he had a failed relationship with his father.  Parsons’ father had carried on a sexual relationship with a prostitute causing him a divorce.  Little Jack’s mother was so angry that the father’s name was removed from her son’s referral and the situation never really alleviated.  Jack found replacements for a father figure in communism where the “state” was the parent, and he found a more literal father figure in Aleister Crowley and the head of the Agape Loge Wildfred Smith.  Smith would comfort Parsons first wife after Jack decided he desired sexually her sister. But when that more sexual appetizing sister began bedding L.R. Hubbard Parsons went into the desert to perform the Mojave ritual giving him Candy Cameron whom he would stay married to until his death while trying to fulfill an explosives order for a Hollywood movie.  But those weren’t the only women Jack slept with—he carried on openly sexual relationships with many other women coming full circle to far surpass his father’s womanizing.  The big difference is that Jack Parsons had found a mechanism through religion which allowed him to justify the conduct.

When my family visits the family condo down in Florida my wife is greatly disturbed by the number of strip houses erected to attend to the NASA scientists working at the Kennedy Space Center.  While she despises those places in spite of the beauty surrounding the Cocoa Beach area I feel the same level of disenchantment for the Merritt Island Lodge #353, which is the local Mason hall near the condo.  I see them one in the same by level of depravity.  Both are reminders that the rocket program ushered into NASA had its roots by two primary people who both had a mutual relationship with Wernher von Braun—Robert Goddard and Jack Parsons.  Of the two, Goddard was certainly my kind of guy.  When diagnosed with tuberculosis and told that he would soon die, he sat on the front porch of his cold New England home and stared death down daring it to consume him.  Miraculously, he beat death to live on for a number of years and eventually carry mankind into space after the federal government tried to steal all his patents for “national security” to build their own rockets.  It is likely that many of the UFO sightings from this early period of rocketry were government experiments into Robert Goddard’s designs which failed.  They would eventually settle with Goddard’s widow finally giving her husband credit and using his name as propaganda against the U.S.S.R during the space race. Jack Parsons however turned to magick instead of self-reliance leaving Goddard to reject the collectivism demonstrated by the Caltech rocket boys from California.  Goddard continued to his dying day to work in relative isolation while Parsons pursed his rocketry passion with the assistance of supernatural aid and making special effects for Hollywood studios sleeping with half the women of Southern California.  The seed of darkness planted into the movie and music industry began there at the Agape Lodge by Parsons and his mentor Smith.  Ironically, even though the Kennedy Space Center is now in heavy reverence for Robert Goddard, it is the old Caltech members of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who primarily established the foundations for those rocket engineers.  They had been developed by Jack Parsons as well leaving the modern-day rocket scientists of NASA to live the same kind of double life that Jack did.  By day they were brilliant scientists—by night they sought sexual fulfillment in the strip joints of Cocoa Beach and their Mason’s Lodge down the street told them that it was the right thing to do.

The difference between Jack Parasons and Robert Goddard are essentially the rift which modern America is currently experiencing.  One was a rugged individualist which was uniquely positioned as a genius that a whole army of government scientists couldn’t duplicate even with his stolen patent notes right in front of them.  The other in Jack Parsons who didn’t live very long, but did a tremendous amount of damage to the industry of film and early jet propulsion, and had roots in communism with the above opening quote which I’ll repeat here for emphasis:

“The dictatorship of the proletariat is merely temporary—the state will eventually wither away like a snark hunter, leaving us all free as birds. Meanwhile it may be necessary to kill, torture and imprison a few million people, but whose fault is it if they get in the way of progress.”

Jack Parsons was a smart man who helped carry America into the golden age of jet propulsion.  He conducted right out in the open a duel life, one of legitimate science, and dark sinister commitment to the occult—and he was a devoted communist—he believed in “collective salvation.”  Because of his success more people than fewer picked his path over that of old Robert Goddard—and that has brought a terrible realization of treachery to modern rocket science which is quite evident in the parking lot of the “gentlemen clubs” of Cocoa Beach at 1:30 in the morning an hour and a half past Sunday.

As I go to the store late at night at times to get milk, or soda for my wife, the cars in that parking lot are proud—they are NASA employees away from their families on 6 month assignments.  They come to the “gentlemen clubs” to see naked women who are often the age of their daughters and deep down inside they have the misguided belief that they are doing something for the greater good by participating.  Some of those proud cars have “Trust America” on their bumpers—or “Made in America,” referring to the NASA program.  Most of them are married, but like Jack Parsons, they feel that their participation in extramarital affairs is justified by some rationalization that we are all “one and the same.”  The 19-year-old girl dancing on the stage topless is the same as the obese wife bitter and unhealthy back home—they are both female and aspects of the Mother of Abominations.  Any high degree Mason from Merritt Island Lodge #353 knows what that is—and if they don’t, they haven’t been invited to the initiation ceremony yet.

I often sit on the balcony and watch those girls of the night come to the beach during early morning sunrises to wash off the sins of the previous evening.  I read my books and eat pistachio nuts while listening to their mutterings.  Without the seductive lure of the “gentlemen clubs,” the g-strings and the seductive lights and music, they are just girls a few years away from the innocent minds of a typical 9 to 10-year-old.  They are not yet ruined—that comes two or three years later when those same new bodies become irreparably tarnished with wrinkles from too much sun bathing, too many drugs, and too many gross old men wanting to caress them sexually.  By the time those girls are 25 they are destroyed for life and the NASA scientists from the Kennedy Space Center have helped take them there.  Every year from the balcony it is always a new crop of girls who come to the beach in their thin bikinis so to get tan lines that will assist them during their pole dancing routines.  I met one of these girls when I went to Ron Jon’s to purchase a new Frisbee to throw on the beach with my family.  A joke emerged with the female cashier leading me to believe that she was about my age—from the 1980s.  She looked at me sadly when she realized I assumed she was in her forties—she was missing all her front teeth probably from too much “meth” her skin looked like an alligator that had been soaked in vinegar to preserve its dead flesh and her breath was in desperate need of a breath mint.  Her eyes were sunken and very tired.  She was only 31.

The evils aren’t always as extreme as Jack Parsons experiments at the Agape Loge.  They are seldom so outrageous—and few people go to such extremes as Jack did for the reasons he did.  Even with all the broken families, there are still a lot of people who have healthy relationships with their fathers and don’t go to the extremes that Jack did, or Aleister Crowley to rectify a need for father atonement.  But what does sink in is the notion of collective sacrifice—the idea of dying for one’s country, or dedicating ones career to country, or dedicating oneself even to a family—the permeating belief is that sacrifice yields benefit for the collective will of humanity—and it doesn’t.  It simply destroys them, and leaves them empty husks of human flesh grossly undeveloped.

I have no doubt that the same type of people who hung out with Jack Parsons at the Agape Loge in Pasadena, California are the same type of people who raised Barack Obama during the height of the counter-culture movement which was directly influenced by Jack Parsons.  The ideal that the dictatorship of the proletariat would only be temporary are the musings of an incomplete mind deeply harmed by the lack of a strong father in their life to impart wisdom, and goodness to a hungry young mind.  Without that important element in their life, they sometimes turn to the supernatural for assistance, and once they do—it’s over for them. But what makes them dangerous to others is that they start churches like the O.T.O to help people find their individual paths—but in essence the real motive is to sacrifice the purity of many people to the collective will of the supernatural—and whose fault is it if they get into the way of progress?

Tomorrow, we will discover why these types of people yearn to sacrifice women in such a way.  You will learn about the Babalon Scarlet Women.  It is likely that you know some.

Ordo Templi Orientis: A stairway to hell disguised as heaven

Do yourself a favor, watch all these videos along with the text.  This is Part IV of a series.  CLICK HERE TO READ PART III

I can never tell when, why or how I have witnessed elaborate Masonic rituals at the downtown Cincinnati Masonic Center without an indictment of sorts—so I won’t.  Those impressively ominous rooms can now be rented for weddings and formal meetings but many years ago when William Howard Taft’s house was just around the corner and it was the center of activity in Cincinnati where Congressman Longworth and President Taft had deep roots into the Council of the Scottish Rite gracing those same halls, the movers and shakers at all levels of society practiced sinister rituals that defiled greatly all forms of individuality.  The founders of that building had a tremendous role in bringing progressivism to America and I have always resented them, and it was upon one of these investigations of confirmation which put me in that large elaborate building during a late night ritual as the twin towers of P & G cast light through the windows.  For me it was a thoroughly disgusting experience even in my clandestine manner.  Free masonry was not the kind of America that was intended by the Constitution even if many of the Founding Fathers were members.  The intent of the rituals at the Cincinnati Masonic Center was to impress upon the individuals the sense that there was a greater goodness to the collective experience and was designed to impress upon the members the ominous message that the sanctity of the order was greater than any one personality.  Present at this ceremony was many of the most prominent lawyers in Cincinnati, doctors, politicians and all those stair climbers flashing into power upon the Cincinnati scene.  Those not in the room likely would not get a coveted bank loan for their business, or would not get approvals for a project pushed through the political process—if one wanted to improve their station in life, they needed to be at the Masonic rituals performed at the Cincinnati Masonic Center—or they would be on the “outside.” That was the primary reason for my disgust. 

http://www.cincinnatimasoniccenter.com/

What bothered me about the place most was the sense of collectivism present—the willingness of the supposedly powerful people there to yield themselves to the superiority of the high degree Masons.  Whenever to this day that I enter a town anywhere in the world where a Mason emblem greats one at the entrance—it means to me that the town is run not by free markets and free individuals—but a collective group of cowards who seek spiritual aid to loft them into positions of power like a safety line hooked to a rock climber.  The rituals are performed to bring assistance to the lives of the members, and the merit is not individually based, but collectively oriented.  The members through ritual are bonded through fraternity and paves the way for a very boring life and a general ass-kisser for the rest of their days.  I don’t like Masonic organizations—they have paved the way toward progressive policies and underground socialism by their very nature and have infected American society with altruism to hide their vast hoax of pure evil.  One of these Masonic devotees who did not even work to hide that evil behind altruism was Aleister Crowly who would take the Masonic movement into a new direction without the trappings of social benefit through a church which would infect the entertainment industry with vast evil propagated by sexual orgies and drug use in Pasadena, California called the Agapé Lodge of the O.T.O. 

 

Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) (‘Order of the Temple of the East’ or ‘Order of Oriental Templars’) is an international fraternal and religious organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century. English author and occultist Aleister Crowley has become the best-known member of the order.

Originally it was intended to be modeled after and associated with European Freemasonry,[1] such as Masonic Templar organizations, but under the leadership of Aleister Crowley, O.T.O. was reorganized around the Law of Thelema as its central religious principle. This Law—expressed as “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”[2] and “Love is the law, love under will”[3]—was promulgated in 1904 with the writing of The Book of the Law.

Similar to many secret societies, O.T.O. membership is based on an initiatory system with a series of degree ceremonies that use ritual drama to establish fraternal bonds and impart spiritual and philosophical teachings.

O.T.O. also includes the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (EGC) or Gnostic Catholic Church, which is the ecclesiastical arm of the Order. Its central rite, which is public, is called Liber XV, or the Gnostic Mass.

 

Theodore Reuss met Aleister Crowley and in 1910 admitted him to the first three degrees of O.T.O. Only two years later, Crowley was placed in charge of Great Britain and Ireland, and was advanced to the X° (tenth degree). The appointment included the opening of the British section of O.T.O., which was called the Mysteria Mystica Maxima or the M∴M∴M∴.[5] Crowley then went to Berlin to obtain instructional manuscripts and the title of Supreme and Holy King of Ireland, Iona and all the Britains within the Sanctuary of the Gnosis.[5] Within the year Crowley had written the Manifesto of the M∴M∴M∴ which described its basic ten-degree system with Kellner’s three degree Academia Masonica forming the seventh, eighth and ninth degrees.

In 1913, Crowley composed the Gnostic Mass while in Moscow, which he described as being the Order’s “central ceremony of its public and private celebration”.[7] In 1914, soon after World War I broke out, he moved to the United States of America. It was around this time that Crowley decided to integrate Thelema into the O.T.O. system, and in 1915 prepared revised rituals for use in the M∴M∴M∴.

In 1917, Reuss wrote a Synopsis of Degrees of O.T.O. in which the third degree was listed as “Craft of Masonry” and listed the initiations involved as “Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, Master Mason” and elaborated on this with “Full instruction in Craft Masonry, including the Catechism of the first three degrees, and an explanation of all the various Masonic systems”. The same document shows that the fourth degree of O.T.O. is also known as the Holy Royal Arch of Enoch. It was summarized by Reuss as the Degree of “Scotch Masonry,” equivalent to “Scotch Mason, Knight of St. Andrew, Royal Arch”, and he described it as “Full instruction in the Scottish degrees of Ancient and Accepted Masonry”.[8][9]

In 1919, Crowley attempted to work this Masonic-based O.T.O. in Detroit, Michigan. The result was that he was rebuffed by the Council of the Scottish rite on the basis that O.T.O. rituals were too similar to orthodox Masonry. He described this in a 1930 letter to Arnold Krumm-Heller:

However, when it came to the considerations of the practical details of the rituals to be worked, the general Council of the Scottish Rite could not see its way to tolerate them, on the ground that the symbolism in some places touched too nearly that of the orthodox Masonry of the Lodges.[10]

Crowley subsequently rewrote the initiation rituals of the first three degrees, and in doing so removed most of those rituals’ ties to Masonry. He did not, however, rewrite the fourth degree ritual, which remains in its form and structure related to the various Royal Arch rituals of Masonry.

Crowley wrote that Theodore Reuss suffered a stroke in the spring of 1920. In correspondence with one of Reuss’s officers, Crowley expressed doubts about Reuss’s competence to remain in office. Relations between Reuss and Crowley began to deteriorate, and the two exchanged angry letters in November 1921. Crowley informed Reuss that he was availing himself of Reuss’s abdication from office and proclaiming himself Outer Head of the Order. Reuss died on October 28, 1923 without designating a successor, though Crowley claimed in later correspondence that Reuss had designated him. Crowley biographer Lawrence Sutin, among others, casts doubt on this claim, although there is no evidence for or against it, and no other candidate stepped forward to refute Crowley by offering proof of succession. In 1925, during a tumultuous Conference of Grand Masters, Crowley was officially elected as Outer Head of the Order (or O.H.O.) by the remaining administrative heads of O.T.O.[11]

During WWII, the European branches of O.T.O. were either destroyed or driven underground. By the end of the war, the only surviving O.T.O. body was Agapé Lodge in California, although there were various initiates in different countries. Very few initiations were being performed. At this time, Karl Germer, who had been Crowley’s representative in Germany, migrated to the USA after being released from Nazi confinement. On March 14, 1942, Crowley appointed him as his successor as Outer Head of the Order,[12] and Germer filled the office after the death of Crowley in 1947.

In subsequent articles more will be learned about this specific Pasadena, O.T.O temple but the important thing to know is that the direct leaders were none other than Jack Parsons and L.R. Hubbard.  The later name is so prominent to this day in Hollywood as the embraced religion of Tom Cruise, John Travolta and many others have taken a life of their own.  Parsons in direct command by Aleister Crowley ran that last true bastion of the O.T.O work as the writing on the wall was evident that a metamorphism needed to occur for the Thelema religion preserving the ways of the Masonic order through music, film, and art—so that it would not become lost to time.  The O.T.O cult was some of the first to ride the wave of new entertainment and switch from the stuffy robbed figures of the Cincinnati Masonic Center to the glittering stars of film.  Jack Parsons arranged many sex magick rituals following directly the work of Aleister Crowley.  The standing temples gave way to virtual ones and instead of the Council of the Scottish Rite doing their hard-core rituals within the secret society of a Masonic hall the magick chants found their way into songs from The Doors, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin.

Ever wonder what the symbols mean on Led Zeppelin’s “unnamed album (Led Zeppelin IV)—the one with “Stairway to Heaven” on it.  Click the link below and you’ll have your answer.  The world radio premiere of “Stairway to Heaven” was recorded at the Paris Cinema on 1 April 1971, in front of a live studio audience, and broadcast three days later on the BBC.[24] The song was performed at almost every subsequent Led Zeppelin concert, only being omitted on rare occasions when shows were cut short for curfews or technical issues. The band’s final performance of the song was in Berlin on 7 July 1980, which was also their last concert until 10 Dec 2007 at London’s O2 Arena; the version was the longest, lasting almost fifteen minutes, including a seven and a half-minute guitar solo.  It became a type of replacement for traditional Masonic ritual and the much heavier O.T.O cult invoking magick with mass worship.

One of the reasons that I “attended” the Cincinnati Masonic Center events was to confirm a long-held suspicion that I had first wondered about while watching enchanted teenagers drunk and stoned listening to “Stairway to Heaven” during the early days of MTV at college parties.  I never understood the way kids became so enchanted by that song, and why it made more sense to them under altered states of mind—particularly marijuana smoke. 

“Stairway To Heaven”

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven.

There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it’s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now,
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t know,
The piper’s calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

I’m not going to explore if that song is a sweet lullaby to “satan” or if it is a dedication to evil when played backwards—but I am absolutely certain that it was created in direct tribute to the Thelema occult—as framed by Aleister Crowley and finally brought the O.T.O activity out of the shadows, and into every bedroom in America—every car stereo, every drug induced stupor.  The music of Led Zeppelin and many others which followed did much more work for the occult than thousands of secret society temples like Cincinnati Masonic Center or the O.T.O. in Pasadena where high priests spend copious amounts of time mixing semen with menstrual blood to old Latin chants praising Lucifer.  Not exactly a fun night on the town.  As old Masons listened to the new music from followers of Aleister Crowley either loosely, or with great dedication, they were naturally resentful.  The magick created by millions of stoned couples having sex to Led Zeppelin from their beds did considerably more to invoke the negative spirits of existence than the orgies arranged by Jack Parsons and L.R. Hubbard at the O.T.O. temple in California, or any high degree Masonic invocation, and it certainly angered the old guard. 

What makes these groups evil and what I learned from the Cincinnati Masonic Center connecting the dots from my first impressions many years ago of Led Zeppelin’s influence over young people through song is that the whole movement was just a mask for collectivism.  When William Howard Taft lumbered his fat ass through the halls of the Cincinnati Masonic Center he was helping Teddy Roosevelt usher in progressivism behind the mask of altruism sponsored by his Masonic temple.  Behind the name of progressivism was a mask hiding the European push for communism in much the same way that Masons wear a mask of goodness dedicated to God, and turn the Bible inside out and into a cult nightmare behind that mask.  The casual members peer at the closed doors with yearning wondering what’s behind them, and once they are let in and given higher degrees of Masonic authority and have been disgraced in front of their superiors during initiation ceremonies for the purpose of bonding them with their brothers in fraternal partnership, it’s too late for objective opinion.  Such things stayed a secret for many years until Aleister Crowley broke ranks with them and stepped out on his own to create the O.T.O. church.  Once the mystery was let out and set free into popular culture massive amounts of evil is now upon our culture as the Masons greedily look on in resentment hoping that nobody noticed.  The result is that membership into the Cincinnati Masonic Center is down—so far that they now rent their once secret rooms to the public. They have to so to justify such a large piece of real estate in downtown Cincinnati.  The temple used to be a place of power and control in the heart of the city—but now it is just a relic where a few old farts and misguided youth try to keep the whole charade alive after the internet has exposed their century old secrets. 

The evil comes not from the different interpretations of Biblical scholarship but in their desire to use collectivism to invoke advantage.  The Masons, the members of the O.T.O., Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons and L.R. Hubbard wanted to gain advantage through collectivism, and is what makes them vile.  It’s not that Aleister Crowley wanted to smell the farts of his lovers thinking to appease some spirit, but that he sought to use people as a sacrifice to invoke fortune for either himself, or the collective will of humanity as defined by him.  And to a much lesser degree, but very similar was the actions of the Cincinnati Masonic Center—and the intentions behind the song “Stairway to Heaven.”  As the end of that song proclaims—-“When all are one and one are all,” the aim is not individual value or endeavor, but the collective sacrifice of everyone to the aims of social benefit as a mess of altruistic premise.  The way to heaven is not in self-responsibility, or personal merit, but in yielding to the premise of the “greater good” as defined by those who are standing in a robe spreading their own semen across a table and dripping their blood into it to invoke a reaction of collective benefit.  But instead of heaven the doors to life open into hell—as it is spread across the whole world by the chants of fools so cowardly that they require the help of spirits to carry them from moment to moment. 

 I left that vile temple as discreet as I had arrived under the bright moonlight of a large moon and headed straight for a little diner on Monmouth St., in Newport.  At that hour the strippers, drug addicts and homeless converged on the place about the same time as my arrival and I waited patiently reading Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces ignoring them the best I could.  I had seen what I came for and needed some food at 3:30 AM.  As I sat and ate quietly until the sun rose again I watched and listened to all the dregs of society around me and I had a thought—that they were much better people than the scum bags across the river at the Cincinnati Masonic Center.  Because as terrible as the three strippers who sat behind me where—and the countless sins they committed every single night of their employment, they at least were free to live as individuals.  They like me were free of ties to a secret society or the demons who expect payment for disturbing their inter-dimensional utterances.  The participants of occult that I witnessed returned back to their lives, their homes, and their masks to live in bondage to their social image designed to appeal to the greater good.  They are so lowly and pathetic that a typical gutter whore is of a much higher representation of individual freedom and thus spiritual enlightenment—because at least the individual is free to act on their own—where as the occultists are forever in bondage to the collective nature of evil for the rest of their lives.  They may live comfortable lives and obtain great social power, but they are essentially in chains attached to them through Latin chants and vile magick. Like Jimmy Page says, “’cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.”  And so do those who claim to only want to sell a record, perform charity, or dedicate themselves to altruism.  

This isn’t even the worst of it.  Tomorrow we will deal with Jack Parsons and how his schemes infected America with a sickness that it has never overcome and he did it with occult ritual on an epic scale.

The Cult of Thelema: Aleister Crowley and Ayn Rand’s big difference

This is Part III, CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PART II:

One of the best aspects of Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism is that it deals with reason, and is built by observed conditions.  It does leave open the possibility for unknown potential—but until proven, they cannot be considered.  This generally leads to the truth of most any situation.  However—not all of them—which is why I am not an Objectivist.  There are mysterious interactions which intersect our dimensional space that cannot be rationalized away until more evidence is gathered.  On more than one occasion I have had enemies who have locked themselves in rooms filled with candles, and all forms of black magic hoping to call against me assistance from beyond the grave.  From these rooms would emerge chants against my name and demons certainly answered the call—I have met them in all their glory.  I have had these enemies wish bad health to me and my family, bad luck, full-blown possession that would haunt our home and our dreams.  Fighting these entities has been quite challenging.  After 20 years, we’ve gotten pretty good at understanding the who, what, why, when and where of them and I can report that demons really aren’t to be feared once understood that they are just beings like anybody else.  The only real advantage that they have over our four-dimensional world is that they can move freely through it somewhat concealed.  But they often lack intelligence and if they do not have fear as an ally, they have little real power.  They can invoke cellular decay, negative thoughts, and other forms of quantum terrorism—but these things can be countered with a healthy mind that knows what to look for. 

However this has not stopped otherwise weak, and broken people who lack such healthy minds from looking for an advantage over their peers with the assistance of black magic and ceremonial indulgence.  And in recent history the most successful of these occultist experimenters was Aleister Crowley who has indirectly reached the lives of virtually every human being in the world through musicians who dedicated themselves to his Thelema religion.  If you have heard and loved a Rolling Stones song, you have admired the indirect work of Aleister Crowley’s religion of Thelema—which has been often labeled as “satanic.”  However, the truth of the matter is that Crowley did not recognize the devil because to do so would be to recognize his opposite—God—and that wasn’t going to happen.  Crowley had as a boy wanted to grow up to be like his evangelist father but when his hero died at a very early age, Crowley’s anger at God turned to a wrath that would embrace the heart of pure evil launching against the entire 20th Century and all our lives through artistic endeavor, the philosophical concept of Thelema.   

Thelema Koine Greek:[θélima]) is primarily a philosophical law, which has been adopted as a central tenet by some religious organizations. The law of Thelema is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law, love under will.” The law of Thelema was developed by Aleister Crowley, the early 20th-century British writer and ceremonial magician.[3] He believed himself to be the prophet of a new age, the Æon of Horus, based upon a spiritual experience that he and his wife, Rose Edith, had in Egypt in 1904.[4] By his account, a possibly non-corporeal or “praeterhuman” being that called itself Aiwass contacted him and dictated a text known as The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis, which outlined the principles of Thelema.[5] An adherent of Thelema is a Thelemite.

The Thelemic pantheon includes a number of deities, primarily a trinity adapted from ancient Egyptian religion, who are the three speakers of The Book of the Law: Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. Crowley described these deities as a “literary convenience”.[6] The religion is founded upon the idea that the 20th century marked the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, in which a new ethical code would be followed; “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”. This statement indicates that adherents, who are known as Thelemites, should seek out and follow their own true path in life, known as their True Will[7] rather than their egotistic desires.[8] The philosophy also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick.

The word thelema is the English transliteration of the Koine Greek noun θέλημα: “will”, from the verb θέλω: to will, wish, purpose. As Crowley developed the religion, he wrote widely on the topic, producing what are collectively termed the Holy Books of Thelema. He also included ideas from occultism, Yoga and both Eastern and Westernmysticism, especially the Qabalah.[9]

According to Crowley, every individual has a True Will, to be distinguished from the ordinary wants and desires of the ego. The True Will is essentially one’s “calling” or “purpose” in life. Some later magicians have taken this to include the goal of attaining self-realization by one’s own efforts, without the aid of God or other divine authority. This brings them close to the position that Crowley held just prior to 1904.[48] Others follow later works such as Liber II, saying that one’s own will in pure form is nothing other than the divine will.[49] Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law for Crowley refers not to hedonism, fulfilling everyday desires, but to acting in response to that calling. The Thelemite is a mystic.[48] According to Lon Milo Duquette, a Thelemite is anyone who bases their actions on striving to discover and accomplish their true will,[50] when a person does their True Will, it is like an orbit, their niche in the universal order, and the universe assists them.[51] In order for the individual to be able to follow their True Will, the everyday self’s socially-instilled inhibitions may have to be overcome via deconditioning.[52][53] Crowley believed that in order to discover the True Will, one had to free the desires of the subconscious mind from the control of the conscious mind, especially the restrictions placed on sexual expression, which he associated with the power of divine creation.[54] He identified the True Will of each individual with the Holy Guardian Angel, a daimon unique to each individual.[55] The spiritual quest to find what you are meant to do and do it is also known in Thelema as the Great Work.[56]

Just like any religion, most things about Thelema sound sensible—and even healthy.  It is hard to argue against the premise of “doing what one wills.”  Heck, I have lived my life in much the same manner.  Even Ayn Rand seemed to be saying much the same thing—and she was a devoted atheist.  So it is easy to conceive why Aleister Crowley had so many followers.  Even the sensible Barbra Bush—the mother and wife of two American presidents had a mother who found Crowley appealing and his philosophies beneficial.  They partied together in Paris in what was likely a sex magic ritual.  Like many college students who come from nice families and backgrounds, there is a sadness to see the perky little girl who used to baby sit children and had hopes and dreams of growing up to become a princess puking into a garbage can gang raped by dozens of young men unable to locate her cloths after attending a party where intoxication and sex were the dominate activities.  The same can be said of the followers of Thelema who followed Crowley into a type collective society where individualism was thought to be the pursuit, but in reality the congregation of followers willing to submit themselves to the high priest of black magic is what the real desire is—and within that premise sexual abuses from the mass orgies occur meant to appease demons to bestow upon the practitioners good fortune.  Many good, rational people have found themselves under the religion of Thelema on the bottom of a pile of naked bodies during rituals designed to throw off convention.  They get into such things thinking they are following an “individual will” when really demons are hungry for their purity.  Once that purity is given up, the body of such people are cast aside like a used sock and new victims are sought out—a new generation of willing minds. 

 

Hillary Clinton is an old “flower child”—growing up in the 1960s where radical political Marxists and communists were sprouting up like flowers in May.  Behind the flower children was the religion of Thelema where free love, free drugs and a free mind became the dominate culture driving influence.  Rock music followed Crowley’s lead and spread the message to millions creating the hippie—which would forever attack the sanctity of the typical American.  Once a woman takes off her top in a group of people how can she ever tell their daughters not to do such a thing?  Once a woman allows multiple sex partners into their life—how do they tell their daughters not to do the same and still maintain their authority as a wise parent?  Once a woman does drugs to “free her mind” she cannot tell her children not to do the same—so in many ways Aleister Crowley’s religion of Thelema opened the door to the hippie to spread the dark practices of Thelema to mainstream young people who would grow up to have no parental authority among the next generation leaving them open to be instructed by the state through public education.  Without strong parents, children have been more vulnerable than ever to the practices of Thelema which does not come to them from sexual orgies in a Thelema church, but in orgies from drinking parties, rock concerts and other primal activity unregulated by any parental value.  The parents were stripped of their value by the work of Thelema.  This is why Hillary Clinton had no sense of wrong when her husband Bill had oral sex with a White House intern.  To Hillary it was just sex, it wasn’t love, it wasn’t for power—it was just two people enjoying each other.  It was just “flower child” sex—and to Clinton, there was nothing wrong with that.  She believes these things because she is a descendent of Thelema thought processes which paved the way for the counter-culture generation which has caused so much modern-day damage. 

 

The danger is not in what starts in the beginning—it’s in what it does to a mind in the process.  For people who followed Aleister Crowley directly into Thelema they discovered that the purity of their lives was removed from them, their sense of possession, their belief in individual sanctity, their belief in solid individual values as the Helter Skelter cult, Jim Jones and dozens upon dozens of similar cults emerged following the basic teachings of Thelema.  Rituals were sold to the public as individual salvation, but the high priests in nearly every case were raw collectivists openly supporting communism and the actuality of the efforts were the breakdown of individual will to the benefit of the collective.  That is not YOUR wife—it’s our wife and we can all enjoy sex with her.  It’s not YOUR mind, it’s OUR mind and we all have a right to it.  This is not your money—it’s OUR Money—it’s communism over individual will.  In the case of Thelema—the individual will of the participants is sacrificed to the gods for the benefit of all. 

 

Aleister Crowley however got everything wrong where Ayn Rand was on the better path.  They both declared to cast away God.  Crowley because God had taken his father from him, Rand because she couldn’t prove the existence of God—she held out hope—but could not confirm or deny.  Both got their basic premise from Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil and worked from there.  However with Crowley, he brought much evil to the world directly through his dark Thelema rituals and concepts of collective sacrifice that somehow he rationalized benefited individual will.  All it really did was destroy the purity and value of millions upon millions of human beings—and for the will of all that is truly evil—only they have benefited. 

 

Tomorrow we will deal with the specific churches of Thelema occultism and explore how the one in Pasadena California brought the dark arts to the film industry behind the mask of communism.

The Golden Dawn: Seeds of evil from Barbara Bush to Jay Z

This is Part II.  CLICK HERE TO SEE PART ONE.  

The fascination people have with Aleister Crowley is the direct result of the modern push for legalized drug use, open and same gender sex, destroyed family values, superstitious religious rituals and a number of ailments that we are suffering from in the modern age.  In addition to calling himself The Beast, Crowley was a communist.  He was so feared that Crowley was banished from Italy by the fascist Mussolini for extreme acts of depravity, and called by his English countrymen as “the most wicked man in the world.”  He was a practitioner of sex magic, in which he used massive orgies to invoke the favor of the gods, so to appease them for good fortune.  Barbara Bush’s mother hung out with Crowley in Paris, and was likely to have been involved in these bizarre sex rituals. Crowley has directly influenced music artists like Jimmy Page, John Lennon and Jay Z—which is just the tip of the iceberg—and he touched the lives of Jack Parsons and L.R. Hubbard just prior to the creation of Scientology.  Hubbard and Parson brought Crowley’s bizarre sex rituals to Pasadena, California through the Cal Tech rocket program and entered the film industry in a big way which is still present to this very day many years after Crowley’s death in 1947.  Those influences only grew over time leading directly to the counter-culture movement of the 1960s colliding in California with the Beatles and Rolling Stones music, ushered into subsequent generations by Led Zeppelin.  Many actors and actresses have involved themselves in the sex orgies of Parson’s OTO church directly linked to Aleister Crowley.  If you have attended a rock concert and lifted your shirt to the musicians on the stage, you have participated just a little in a long-term plan hatched by Crowley at the turn of the 20th Century—and you likely didn’t have any idea.  Aleister Crowley has likely touched every life in the world through the high-profile connections he made throughout his life and global travel that had the single-minded purpose of spreading evil to every human being behind a mask of individual freedom. 

 

Crowley wasn’t evil because he was so damaged by his father’s death at a young age that he turned away from God and sought a path to evil.  He was evil because he purposely sought to sell himself as an extreme individualist inspired by the writings of Nietzsche yet used dark arts to invoke direct help from the spirit world to help him in the world of the living.  His “magick” is a kind of crony capitalism where industrialists look to government to pad their investments from competition—Crowley looked to pad fate and fortune to the acts of the ultraterrestrials—and in many ways he was successful in doing so.  Crowley let into the human world a number of dark enemies to life as we know it, and they are loose in the world as we speak.  So to understand this mess, we must start at the beginning with an organization that many modern rappers are wearing on their clothing and has deep roots into turn of the century literature—Crowley’s first real membership into a group which predates the progressive movement, the communist influx into America, or even his enormous influence into the Thelema religion. 

 

To understand properly the progressive influence of modern-day America it has become obvious that a full understanding of this deeper, darker secret finally be revealed for what it is.  Victorian culture, especially in New England was deeply in love with the “Cambridge Intellectuals” from their home country of England and the membership that William Butler Yeats and Aleister Crowley had with a mysterious secret society.  They yearned to be thought of as members of the Golden Dawn, even if they didn’t completely understand it.  They did like many people do—they played along with the latest and greatest explorations into philosophical experimentation which would eventually give birth to socialism and communism as natural byproducts of these early experiments into the “Golden Dawn.” 

By the mid-1890s, the Golden Dawn was well established in Great Britain, with over one hundred members from every class of Victorian society.[7] Many celebrities belonged to the Golden Dawn, such as actress Florence Farr, Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne, Irish writer William Butler Yeats, Welsh author Arthur Machen, English author Evelyn Underhill, and English author Aleister Crowley.

In 1896 or 1897, Westcott broke all ties to the Golden Dawn, leaving Mathers in control. It has been speculated that his departure was due to his having lost a number of occult-related papers in a hansom cab. Apparently, when the papers were found, Westcott’s connection to the Golden Dawn was discovered and brought to the attention of his employers. He may have been told to either resign from the Order or to give up his occupation as coroner.[16] After Westcott’s departure, Mathers appointed Florence Farr to be Chief Adept in Anglia. Dr. Henry B. Pullen Burry succeeded Westcott as Cancellarius—one of the three Chiefs of the Order.

Mathers was the only active founding member after Westcott’s departure. Due to personality clashes with other members and frequent absences from the center of Lodge activity in Great Britain, however, challenges to Mathers’s authority as leader developed among the members of the Second Order.[17]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn

Compared to the Thelema followers of Crowley’s much later society, the rituals of the Golden Dawn were comparatively mild—likely to be more what was seen in the Kubrick film referred often at this site—Eyes Wide Shut.  A surprising number of people were involved not all of them sinister—but looking for an advantage in life granted by the gods.  For people who have went to a casino and blew on some dice hoping that “the gods” would grant them fortune with a victory in the roll, what the people in the Golden Dawn society were doing was very similar.  They sought to appease the gods of the spirit world no matter where they came from hoping for an advantage in obtaining more power on earth.  It may have been simple luck in building a legal practice, or a medical firm—it may have been to obtain security for their industrial concerns—whatever the endeavor—they were looking for a helping hand by appeasing spirits to assist them and they turned to the Golden Dawn to achieve it. 

 

The Golden Dawn never really went away—but it is making an extreme comeback coming out of secret society mode and into the light of day.  Recently R&B singer Ciara, displayed in one of her videos a rather extreme support of the order.  It is unlikely that Ciara has much of any idea what goes on in the Golden Dawn other than some sex parties and heavy drug use—but her agents, producers, and other handlers who help her market herself steered her in the proper direction hoping that such actions will bring their efforts good luck from the gods.

It’s all a lot of nonsense—but what these crazy supporters of Aleister Crowley have in common are political beliefs rooted in collectivism—socialism, Marxism, and out-right communism but deeper than those are beliefs in collective salvation through the act of sacrifice—sacrifice of goodness for the benefit of the many.  There is a tendency for virgin yearnings exploited for the good of a “group.”  When groups of people, particularly in Hollywood culture believe that it is profitable, virtuous, or otherwise positive to see Miley Cyrus parade around in a sexual way onstage throwing off the innocence of her childhood with intoxicated teddy bears dancing behind her, there are subtle members of the old Golden Dawn order and Thelema members who believe that their mass ritual of virgin sacrifice which enters into the bedrooms of virtually every adolescent girl brings to them great appeasement from the gods of hidden dimension.  The actions are designed on the surface to stir up trouble among the religious conservatives of Middle America and capture the minds of their rebellious teenagers into establishing their own identity.  Many of these promoters appear very “libertarian” in their presentations advocating personal sexual liberty, and the ability to abuse drugs.  But the real intent of their mass rituals inspired directly from the work of Aleister Crowley is to make the demons of existence shine on their actions—which they actually believe in.  Behind their actions is the deep-seated old schemes of communism—or rather communal sacrifice for the greater good—in the case of Aleister Crowley—aristocratic communism where he was certainly the high priest at the front of the effort who was the center of the sex orgies that even likely involved Barbara Bush’s mother. 

When Victorian society is mentioned, and the progressives which came directly from their social belief system it was communism that branched off from theoretical to political philosophy.  But in regards to religion what they all shared was not a love of Christianity, Buddhism, or any peace-loving thought process describing the afterlife—but hard core human sacrifice if not literally—metaphorically through loss of innocence in a secret society called the Golden Dawn.  These societies would evolve over time into the Thelema order which had a church right in downtown Pasadena, California and would infect the entertainment industry with the left leaning vileness seen today—and it all started in Europe—of course—with the Victorians of intellectual elite—and the desire of the rest of the world to live and think as they do—which is why the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles helped usher in the philosophy of the Golden Dawn in ways that a bunch of robed priests and nude prostitutes could never achieve—global sacrifice and appeasement of the deepest, darkest demons of vile enterprise. 

This is just an introduction.  Tomorrow we will explore Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) (‘Order of the Temple of the East’ or ‘Order of Oriental Templars’) which was an international fraternal and religious organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Most of those members undoubtedly leaned politically toward progressive politics and because of that deserve great scrutiny now into their real motivations—as to why they support mass killings in the form of abortion, gay rights, crushing the Christian church, and drug abuse legalization as openly advocated.  The actions are unquestionably evil—now you will understand why and how the dots connect from occult culture into the mainstream.  Sleep well, and come back tomorrow.

Good Ol’ Fashioned Movies: The evil of Aleister Crowely

Please watch all the videos on this article for context:

Over a long-span of time I thought I wanted to make films in Hollywood, and I have knocked on the door more than once.  But over time, it became clear to me why my favorite filmmakers, Clint Eastwood, George Lucas, and even Walt Disney who basically moved his operations to Florida at the end of his life, stayed clear as much as possible of Wilshire Blvd.  Every year when I was a kid, the movie Chitty, Chitty Bang, Bang came on network television and I would religiously sit down to watch it.  Back then the musicals of Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dyke over the films Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and of course Chitty Chitty Bang Bang filled my imagination with visions of goodness.  To this day I have on my Pandora radio a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang station and from that movie this is my absolute favorite scene.

That scene, and movie made me want to make films.  But I discovered that Hollywood was not as wholesome as my favorite movies would indicate.   In my early twenties I knew a few screenwriters who worked for studios, had agents and were living the life, and they reported to me of gigantic Hollywood orgies, drug parties, and other activities which would be expected of me if I wanted to go down that road—which I didn’t.  The more I got to know members of the Hollywood community the more they seemed obsessed with what my Midwestern mind would term as sheer evil.  My sensibilities were so insulted by this reality that a writer friend of mine who was one of my early teachers, Linda Nagata sent me a story she ran across from Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine telling me that I reminded her of the lead protagonist—a detective much like the video game character from L.A. Noire who investigated crimes in and around Hollywood and uncovered all kinds of demonic Aleister Crowley ceremonies involving exotic actresses and sex orgies of extreme debauchery.  It was her way of telling me that I needed to get over my Midwestern naiveté if I wanted to work in Hollywood because that was my primary limiting ingredient.

But I didn’t want to associate with satan worshippers, drug addicts, progressives, communist spewing despots, whores and studio bosses of low intellect.  I didn’t want to attend drug parties and orgies just to have a screenplay read.  The fiction story Nagata had sent to me was not so far off.  Aleister Crowley had a following and a lot of them resided in Hollywood and the industry had been irreparably affected.     Crowley enjoyed being outrageous and flouting conventional morality.[233] He told John Symonds that he “was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time”.[234]Crowley’s political thought was subjected to an in-depth study by academic Marco Pasi, who noted that for Crowley, socio-political concerns were subordinate to metaphysical and spiritual ones.[218] Pasi argued that it was difficult to classify Crowley as being either on the political left or right, but was perhaps best categorized as a conservative revolutionary despite not being affiliated with the German-based revolutionary conservative movement.[235] Pasi noted that Crowley sympathized with extreme ideologies like Nazism and Marxism-Leninism, in that they wished to violently overturn society, and hoped that both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union might adopt Thelema.[236] Crowley described democracy as an “imbecile and nauseating cult of weakness”,[237] and commented that The Book of the Law proclaimed that “there is the master and there is the slave; the noble and the serf; the “lone wolf” and the herd”.[223] In this attitude he was influenced by the work of Friedrich Nietzche and Social Darwinism.[238] Crowley also saw himself as an aristocrat, describing himself as Lord Boleskine; he had contempt for most of the British aristocracy,[239] and once described his socio-political views as “aristocratic communism”.[240]

Crowley was bisexual, and exhibited a sexual preference for women.[241] In particular he had an attraction toward “exotic women”,[242] and claimed to have fallen in love on multiple occasions; Kaczynski stated that “when he loved, he did so with his whole being, but the passion was typically short-lived.”[243] Even in later life, he was able to attract young bohemian women to be his lovers, largely due to his charisma.[244] During same-sex anal intercourse, he usually played the passive role,[245] which Booth believed “appealed to his masochistic side.”[246] Crowley argued that gay and bisexual people should not suppress their sexual orientation, commenting that people “must not be ashamed or afraid of being homosexual if he happens to be so at heart; he must not attempt to violate his own true nature because of public opinion, or medieval morality, or religious prejudice which would wish he were otherwise.”[247] On other issues he adopted a more conservative attitude; he opposed abortion on moral grounds, believing that no woman following her True Will would ever desire one.[248]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley

The values of Aleister Crowely because of his support of communism filtered into the Hollywood revolution of the 40s and 50s shaping many of the crazy beliefs they utilize today.  In Hollywood, if it has not yet been noticed, the rite of passage of young people into adulthood is to see them publicly defowered, we are seeing it with Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, the ripping off of the top of Janet Jackson, the lesbian kissing of Brittney Spears and Madonna, the lesbian scene of Star Wars actress Natalia Portman in The Black Swan, the utter desecration of Nichole Kidman after the film Eyes Wide Shut, and of course the extreme deflowering of the nice little actress Anne Hathaway in several films after The Princess Diaries which she co-starred with Julie Andrews.

Female former Disney stars seem to be the primary target of these purity sacrifices and none was more obvious than the 1981 film S.O.B. where Blake Edwards, who was married to Julie Andrews at the time talked her into a topless scene so to destroy her caricature of purity to the eyes of the world.  Andrews was a gigantic star on the stage of entertainment and her films Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are absolute gifts to goodness.  They are wonderful films and like my favorite, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fed the mind of young people such as myself with the yearly showings on network television which at that time were still being run by World War II generation conservatives—relatively speaking.  Not any longer—the networks are now run by some of those types Linda sent me stories on and were part of the new Hollywood culture that seemed to have a deep-seated belief that symbols of purity such as the women mentioned above, needed to be sacrificed to the spirits of evil in order to sanctify success.  These beliefs were on full display in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.  That was and is modern Hollywood.

There seems to be a sincere desire to erase from the mind of the public the good ol’ fashioned musical classics that have brought so much joy to so many people.  There was no sex, profanity, or detrimental behavior in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, or The Sound of Music.  They are films with songs about the essence of the human spirit—yet in 2014 Hollywood, and America in general, there seems to be a very real effort to suppress those influences with tabloid headlines of the latest Hollywood drug addict, or up skirt picture of a new 19-year-old actress to appease the vile necessity of some un-named demon.

There was an astounding level of criticism toward Carrie Underwood who performed a live stage re-enactment of The Sound of Music for NBC television on December 5th 2013.  I do not believe the anger is over her performance which was quite good for live television; it was because of the attempt to resurrect The Sound of Music on national television.  There is a very real desire by the embodiment of evil to suppress anything which brings to the human mind an image of goodness.  It is not something that is obvious, or can be placed on a t-shirt, or even described in a church service.  I cover the roots of this evil in other articles.  CLICK HERE for review.  

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/carrie-underwood-responds-som-critics-people-jesus-article-1.1541350

Even my praise of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films by Peter Jackson are not made in Hollywood, but in New Zealand.   A film like Jackon’s explorations into the roots of evil would not be concocted in the bars of Santa Monica, the brunches on Wilshire Blvd, or the shopping complexes of Brand Blvd.  Hollywood doesn’t make movies or support stories like that anymore.  Only a very narrow few filmmakers have made it passed the pressure cookers of pure evil and found the freedom to tell their stories rightfully, such as Jerry Bruckheimer, J.J. Abrams, and Steven Spielberg.  But for every one of them, there are thousands of parasites who believe to this enlightened day that purity must be sacrificed to the gods so that box office totals can secure their job for one more year and another line of cocaine.   Agents, producers, directors and other ornaments of the entertainment industry talk these girls into sacrificing their purity to evil so that success will fall upon them—and when someone like Carry Underwood comes along who believes in Jesus, and goodness, and is trying to do the right things—they tear her down hoping that the demons of injustice will blow kisses in their direction.

I was lucky, very lucky—to have remembered a time when television still put on shows like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang every year and built the event up as a sacred ritual.   Those old films made a sincere attempt to find the good in human nature and tell a story driven by it—and I relish it deeply.  I despise evil, drugs, vile behavior, stupidity, boot licking, and sexual promiscuity.  So because Hollywood cannot produce such musicals as original material any longer, I will stick with the classics and enjoy them the way I did as a kid and share them with my own family.  Because there are fewer moments better in my opinion in film history than that music box piece from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang—and it didn’t involve nudity, violence, or a gross joke—it was just good for the sake of good, something that Hollywood has long forgotten.

Dick Van Dyke for President!  And thank God for Pandora radio!

Public Education Core Beliefs: “The children belong to all of us”

Stupid people who don’t comprehend what they read very well believe inaccurately that I am anti-education when in reality I am anti-liberal instruction.  If there were other viewpoints reflected in colleges and public education—ones that reflect my sense of conservatism, I would be more tolerant.  But I was fighting this fight long before most people even knew there was a battle.  My school days were very contentious and my college experiences even worse.  Basically I never did yield to the left leaning sentiment of most of the teachers I grew up with, and they were never as obvious about their political leanings as the teachers of today are—and my attitude toward them hasn’t yielded.  In kindergarten for me at Lakota it started from day one—I went toe to toe with Miss Mays and was always in trouble.  She ended up in a mental hospital.  Every teacher I had through the rest of my elementary years called my mother crying about how they thought they were failing me—because I treated them with so much disrespect.  My desk was always mess, I had no reverence for their instruction, and I wanted to spend all my time drawing pictures and writing stories.  They hoped that my mother would put pressure on me to cease the behavior—but it was my mother who gave me the independence to begin with—wisely before I ever entered public school.  By that time there was no going back, even if she did at times want to.  And those were the good—peaceful years.  I spent more time in the principal’s office and in detention than in class—which was fine with me because it was more time to read and write what I wanted—not what some leftist teacher wanted me to learn.

To show off for his girlfriend teacher at the time my 8th grade gym teacher took my bullwhip from me which I had brought for show and tell, and kept it in the gymnasium to play with in front of his entourage of junior high football players.  He did it to show he had power and authority over me.  So after feeling bad for half the day I got up in the middle of my English class as my teacher protested and marched down to the gym right in the middle of that guy making a fool of himself with my whip in front of the school’s athletic elite.  I took the whip from him, gave a quick demonstration which made everyone’s mouth drop and went back to my class to a parade of harassment from school administrators demanding that I head straight to the principal’s office.  That day confirmed it for me, my teachers believed that they were my parents, and functioned from a position that they believed I had an obligation to listen to them—which I did not.  I went back to my class and sat down leaving them mystified that I did not have any fear of them.  With my whip in my hand I knew there wasn’t anything they could do to me because nobody—not even the athletic gym teacher knew how to use it the way I did and that gave me power over them.

I helped drive my freshman English teacher into a mental breakdown the next year.  They were an extreme bleeding heart liberal.  I had no interest in learning what they knew—because their mind was a mess.  They had no right to stand in front of a class and teach anybody anything.  And from there things went severally downhill culminating during my Senior year with a drag race down I-75 with beer and the future Superintendent of Lakota Schools after a year of cat and mouse furiously engaged.  That guy tried to pin everything that went wrong at the school on my back out of revenge for my behavioral rebellion.

One of my good friends during my sophomore year was a very tough guy who got into a lot of fights.  He was humongous.  He wasn’t afraid of anything, because he was literally bigger than everyone else, stronger, and if both those things failed, he was more fearless.  He sat across from me in one of my study halls after a weekend where he had gotten into a fight and cut open his knuckles revealing the bone from his victim’s teeth.  He left the wound open to close on its own and never went to a doctor.  The wound got terribly infected but he didn’t care.  He left it to grow closed without stitches for the remainder of the school year.  He didn’t fear infection, he didn’t fear losing the hand, he didn’t fear death, he didn’t fear other people’s opinions, and he completely lacked concern.  The next year when I had the same type of wound from the same kind of activity where my bone popped out, my ligaments were strung from my hand with pouring blood and it took a plastic surgeon to reconstruct my fingers he saw me in the hall and grabbed my wrapped appendage and laughed calling me a “pussy.”  Then he winked at me.  His hand was still infected a year later from the same wound which he had broken open half a dozen times.  It was his way of telling me I was right, and that he should have went to the doctor—that time.  The cops were scared to death of him, and no administrators knew what to do with him.  We had in common that we both wished to live free of any chains.  He learned from me how to outsmart his enemies and I learned from him how to fight—how to be so certain with yourself that you never had to worry about a confrontation no matter how many people were involved.  He eventually got into a fight about 20 years ago where he got stabbed in the heart and died.  As time and distance moved between us he resorted back to just raw knuckle fighting which left him vulnerable—and eventually dead.  But he lived quite a life.  He lived outside of the law, outside of the school rules because no administrator knew what to do with him.  He could walk down the hall and call the principal by his first name, grope any girl even in front of their boyfriends and never be challenged, and pretty much do what he wanted any time he wanted.  We got along fabulously and had a symbiotic relationship.  When he did end up in jail, he got into a lot more trouble of course which eventually pulled him down a vortex where I could no longer reach him.  For him, his best times where in school where he could let me piece him together again—because he lacked structure otherwise.  The teachers couldn’t do anything for him, but I could.  Liberal education made him worse—he needed my conservativism, and structure.

I knew from day one even at a very young age that the school system was wrong, the lines, the recesses, the teachers, the desk assignments, the whole intrusion on personal liberty was designed to break people—and I determined that I would never be broken—and I never was.  That has given me the clairvoyance as an adult to speak accurately about the public school system and what it does to people.

A vast majority of the educators in any school system lean-to the political left and they believe inaccurately that their job is to mold us all into some collective fabric of interwoven social blanket for which we are but one silly little thread.  They reflect accurately the opinion revealed in the first video on this article.  In my experience at Lakota—which was supposedly the best in the area, I can only think of maybe five teachers who were not extreme liberals.  By the time I got to my junior year and had been in some high-profile violent acts that were plastered all over the newspapers and television the school finally gave up—except for a few who decided that I would be locked away for my insolence—I did discover a couple of teachers who were relatively decent people founded in conservative philosophy.  The rest were bra burning scum bags—old drug hounds and loose moral scum bags from top to bottom.  One of my current friends who was a school board member at Lakota during this period will recognize word for word what I’m saying—and can confirm it all and more.

To prove my point there was an article just the other day about an upcoming election featuring Kelly Kohl’s and Shannon Jones, both known as hard-core Tea Party candidates.  That article wasn’t all that surprising to me, as I have been covering those kinds of things here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom for a long time.  Shannon caved under the pressure of the SB5 defeat along with John Kasich and the Tea Party wants to eradicate them from the earth.  Nothing new there—as the emotions are justified.  Just because you lose one battle you don’t tuck and run yielding to the liberal menace.  You fight them—and you fight them high and low with methods that they can’t fathom until they yield, beg for mercy, and are willing to make a deal for their very life.  Then when you have them in that state—you end them.  There is no debate.  Shannon didn’t do that—so Kelly is challenging her political seat.  Well of course this article stirred up comments at the end of it and guess who was the most vocal?  Supporters of the education industry were the ones who left the most left leaning comments against the Tea Party.  Check below for a sampling of their diatribes and click the link at the end to verify for yourself.   That first guy—Scott Malone is a psychologist for two different Lakota schools.  His political leanings are obvious and he is the one who advises young people in matters of psychological difficulty.

If the Tea Party was made up of bears, they would all be polar. Maybe some would be Bi-polar, but they would just roll around in the snow a few extra minutes and hope no one notices.

Now this is truly funny. When Shannon Jones is not conservative enough for the Tea Party you know things are really getting screwed up.

What those names have in common is they are either educators or political activists and in public schools, colleges, and labor unions who attach memberships to those activities.  Their core beliefs are confirmed by what Paul Reville revealed in his talk at the Center For American Progress recently—a liberal think tank designed to “progress” society into collectivism.  “The children belong to all of us,” that is what Reville said, and he’s not the only one.  That statement has been said during virtually every school levy campaign in America for years, by more than one pandering politician and bucket loads of misfit parents who suck at instructing their children anything—and want “society” to do the hard work for them.  That is the root cause for the collective belief of group ownership of children.

Is it any surprise that Peter Dinklege did pro communist commentary for NBC during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi?  NBC apparently did not understand the Twitter backlash when they announced, “the towering presence, the empire that ascended to affirm a colossal footprint.  The revolution that birthed one of modern history’s pivotal experiments……………..”  Most teachers think the same way as the NBC producers who thought that the Cold War against Russia was long over.  Yet what they all have in common is that they were taught in public schools by disciples of the original KGB to push the entire world into a communist state—and they aimed to do it through American schools.  I have covered the proof extensively in previous articles for those who are new to this problem.  Minds are formed in schools and once the mind is reprogrammed into a liberal thought process, for most people it’s over for the rest of their lives.  If they grow up to become Republicans, they end up wishy-washy, watered down people like John Boehner.  I know hundreds of them—they think they are conservative, but their educations where teachers believed they were co-parents ruined their minds with a liberal mentality exclusively—as conservatives have been deliberately shoved out of the public education experience.  They do not last in the education profession at any level except in the extreme situation where the education institution is decidedly conservative such as Hillsdale, or Liberty.

It does not work to say that just because someone is against the liberal education of America they are against education.  If there were openly conservative teachers at my district public school of Lakota, I would feel differently about a great many things, but there aren’t.  The further I became involved in Lakota due to my political activity, I found it shocking how much sexual molestation was going on, how many teachers were openly gay, how many support communism, socialism, and Barack Obama and once I learned that it tied right into my own school day experiences where my refusal to be considered “one of their children” got me into a lot of trouble which I am very proud of today.  My wife was a straight A student.  Once she met me—she dropped down to Ds and Cs because I told her the whole experience was stupid.  My very best friend was an Honor’s Society member who sold his robe to a kid for a $100 bucks on graduation day.  I am proud to have had an influence on them because to this very day, they are far freer than if they had been pulled into that vortex of social engineering at such a young age.  But all the kids I knew back then who did follow all the rules, they ended up watered down versions of their true potential—which was the intent of public education from the very beginning—once the Department of Education was created in 1979.  Public education isn’t trying to teach anybody anything—but how to be compliant—and answerable to the collective sum of society.  And that makes public education a vile enterprise with sinister intentions confirmed all too well by the comments of Scott Malone—a psychologist at Lakota who should not be in a position to instruct conservative children from conservative families anything.  The basic belief that the teaching profession has that “children belong to all of us,” is one that says the shared experiences of Scott Malone’s liberalism is just as valuable as a conservative child’s parents.  Anyone in math knows that you can’t multiply “0” with anything and get something back in value.  Malone’s liberalism is a “0” while a strong conservative family with a mommy and a daddy who go to church on Sunday may be a “10.”  What do you get when you multiply 10 X 0?  You get a kid that has zeros in their life where there should be value, and the mind of the child becomes a watered down version of the parent’s instruction—because society with its collective liberalism has entered a zero into the equation, and given a child little value to carry into their adult lives.  That is why I’m against public education in the form it is now.  Now—put some Ronald Reagan type conservatives in front of a class with a suit, tie, and some firm American beliefs—and we can talk.  But until then, it’s a waste of time.  I have literally felt this way my entire life—and it’s not going to change now.  But what will change when an immovable force interacts with a bunch of squishy minded liberals—is the immovable force will have its way.  Mark it on the calendar.  I intend to do for many others what I did for my friends during my own school days—and that is help free them from the bondage of a nanny state and the collective ownership of the value in their minds sucked from them by the many liberals who teach public education.

Cleta Mitchell IRS Testimony: Why the government wants to be in “charge”

The primary reason that we have a Bill of Rights, specifically the First and Second Amendment, is that WHEN corruption takes over a government, that the people can wrestle that power away and remove those corrupted restoring order.  The Second Amendment is not to secure the ability to hunt, or provide personal protection in case some punk decides they want to steal all our cookies.  The Second Amendment is present so that American citizens can defend themselves against the federal government if that body of government gets out of control.   And the First Amendment is present so that the Second Amendment might be avoided.  Power corrupts—it happens even in silly fast food restaurants when a manager has power over other employees, it happens between companies who are both fighting for power and influence, it happens among family members arguing who will sit at the head of a table, and it will always happen in government.  There is no possible way that a centralized government can be expected to perform at an intellectually superior place of neutrality.  Power is leverage over others, and so long as human beings desire such things—corruption will thrive in any government activity.  This corruption has never been so evident than in the IRS scandal where Tea Party activists were directly attacked by government.  Lucky for the government there is a First Amendment, because as long as its respected, the Second won’t be needed—and testimony like the one that Cleta Mitchell performed below can take place.

Explosive testimony lit up a House hearing on the IRS targeting scandal recently, as GOP super lawyer Cleta Mitchell told representatives that the systematic effort to delay the processing of grass-roots groups’ applications for nonprofit status continues to occur.

Mitchell represents several grass-roots conservative organizations whose applications under sections 501c3 and 501c4 of the internal revenue code were delayed for years in the run-up to the 2012 election. She said that targeting had not stopped.  As seen in the video above, she listed a number of instances which are gigantic red flags concerning the IRS scandal that link directly to the President of the United States.  In the case of the IRS, and history will certainly make note of it—the media has been complicit in a deception right along with the federal government.  They have openly suppressed the scandal for the ideological benefit of their own power grab as those enjoying the current power of being in government wish very much to see that power grow.

Years ago I worked at a Wendy’s restaurant as a part-time job doing grill cook obligations during their busiest times of the day.   I needed the extra money to pay off a tax obligation from a business start-up that didn’t work out, and I didn’t want the money to come out of our normal family budget, so I took on an extra job just to pay my tax obligation.  I already had a normal full-time job along with dozens of hobbies to fill my time, so my time at this Wendy’s restaurant was something I could take or leave.  One of the managers was a girl about my age who I got along fabulously with.  She understood what I wanted out of the job, and she clearly understood the trade-off that her restaurant received by my services.    On a normal day I saved her anywhere from 2 to 5 staffing positions because I was so fast.  But there was another manager there whom was a disgusting, self-indulged, narcissist.  She was a typically school levy supporter—she had a gigantic ass, an obtuse cranium from the very little brain capacity going on behind her skull and she was deeply in love with power.  She loved having power over all the teenage employees and she relished instructing them what to do.  Of course she and I clashed often as I was not responsive to her at all.  She certainly wasn’t going to tell me what to do, and that was the end of it—but she tried often—and we fought just as much.  She turned a simple task of making food for people into an excruciating ordeal just because she loved power.

I was also a waiter at Frisch’s for a number of years, again, as a second job making extra money.  Frisch’s didn’t pay much, but I did make a lot of money in tips.  I worked at the Fields Ertel location for a few years, and I did it because of the money I could make.  Readers of my novel The Symposium of Justice can enjoy a bit of trivia to know that the climax chapter, “Salad Bar Goddess” is based on my experiences as a waiter at this job.  The location described is the Frisch’s location at Fields Ertel—where the suicide of the hit man occurred, it was there on I-71—where he threw himself in front of an oncoming simi so to rid the earth of his corrosive—irredeemable presence.  That’s why the book is called, “The Symposium of Justice.”  Anyway, there was a manager there, a guy who was obviously miserable with his personal life, had no real personality, and was an otherwise social outcast who was the manager.  He would invent tasks to perform at the close of business long after the tips stopped flowing just to exert power over people.  Just when you thought all the closing duties were performed as a waiter, or waitress, he’d come up with a whole list of things to do at 1 AM in the morning just to show that he had power over you.  Of course I also clashed with this guy.  I made his life such a miserable mess in retaliation for the things he attempted to do to me, that he eventually was transferred away.  On one particular instance I was on my break in the back reading one of my books when he came to tell me to handle another section because they were getting busy.  Well, they weren’t that busy, and he didn’t need me to end my break.  It was well-known that he hated that I read so much because he spewed about it all the time.  So I refused.  When he grabbed my book and tried to wrestle it from my hands, I grabbed his throat and threw him against the wall pinning him in place with some much directed dialogue that shut him up for several months.  I got rid of him by going to corporate headquarters and letting them know what kind of guy he was.  A few months later, he was transferred to another store.  I still see him around town as he is still a manager at Frisch’s.  He is currently a manager at one of the Liberty Township restaurants—and when he sees me he never makes eye contact.  With him it was always about the power and when he sees me, it is a terrible reminder that I did not respect his authority, so he chooses not to deal with the reality which he has built up in his mind.  I could tell hundreds of similar stories very closely related, but when it comes to fast food—where the pay is low, the work is hard, and the hours are disastrously difficult—there are always these types of power-hungry scum bags.  There isn’t anything in it for them to be that way.  The companies don’t promote them more than other people, and the pay is always bad.  They are often forced to work lots of strange hours and in the case of the Frisch’s manager, he hated it that I read so much because he was afraid that I’d become something that he couldn’t ever become—and it drove him crazy.  Yet he didn’t want to put the work into becoming better himself.  His desire, and the levy supporter mentioned prior took jobs in management just so they could mess with people and have power.

Government is filled with these types of people—people who really only want to have control over other people—for the simple reason of having some sense of control.  It’s an infantile desire that exists in every strata of society.  But in the jobs mentioned, I was free to choose whether or not to work in those places, or whether or not I would ram the manager’s head through the back of a Frisch’s wall for interrupting my reading time during a break.  When it comes to government when those types of people work in the IRS, the TSA, the local police and fire departments, zoning, code compliance you name it—those government jobs are filled with insecure despots suffering from deep insecurities that they wished to overcome being in charge of other people.  Like I’ve said, I have lived a very colorful life—and I’m proud of it.  I used to come to work at Frisch’s wearing a Mexican poncho and a cowboy hat with my whips strapped underneath to my shoulder.  I wasn’t going to war, but between jobs I would practice in an abandon lot off Fields Ertel road.  My day job was a kind of political one, where I would spend a lot of time down at Cincinnati City Hall.  During an occasion where I had to deal with Mayor Qualls back in the 90s her office was wreaking with these power-hungry types.  She loved the power of the Mayor’s office in Cincinnati even though she was a long way from qualified to perform management of any kind.  After dealing with people like that I had a need to re-center myself, so I dressed the way I wanted, said what I wanted, and lived how I wanted.  I had the eccentricity of a rock star without the tour bus especially during my tenure at Frisch’s which infuriated the manager mentioned.  He became so frustrated with me that he actually pretended to have a nervous breakdown hoping that my compassion for him would pull me in line.  It didn’t.  As he fell to the ground with an apparent seizure flopping around like a fish I said to one of the waitresses as I stood over him that if he died, we’d be able to leave on time for a change.  Miraculously, as the paramedics came to revive him, he got up and locked himself into his office.  Four hours later, he was back to himself as he ran out of gas to perform the charade—at the end of the night he stopped me as I was leaving.  He asked me if I cared about anyone.  I said yes, my wife and kids.  He then asked me why I worked at Frisch’s if I spend my days hanging out with mayors and Cincinnati “big wigs” then spend my evenings in his restaurant reading books that aren’t even taught in colleges dressed like I’ve walked out of a Clint Eastwood movie.  I said—to make money.

The IRS, The White House, the military, the police, every government agency is filled with these types of people, and they are not capable to rule over anybody.  If left alone, they will become corrupt with power for the simple reason that they have a psychological need to rule over others to justify their insecurities.  For that reason alone, the progressive position of large centralized government will never work.  They can’t even do basic tasks correctly—yet ideologically, all those who support such things have been willing to lie openly to protect that desire. This is what is behind the open lies going on over the IRS scandal.  The power to rule over others is what committed the crime, but the denial that government is filled with these types of personalities propels it—because once that is admitted to, the foundations of progressivism—and liberalism in general—falls apart.

Government is not capable of self-correction.  When confronted, they will attempt every ploy known to shake the truth from their actions so to avoid the grim reality of their personal tyranny.  So we have the First Amendment to call out the bad behavior when we see it, just as Cleta Mitchell did in the testimony seen above.  It’s not just one or two people involved in this scandal, its entire branches of government and most of those workers have similar problems as the people mentioned in my story.  They fear to stand on their own—fear that they lack intellectual resources to do things on their own—so they are attracted to government.  Once they have the power of an office, or the federal government at their back, they are free to be little tyrants to those they see as their intellectual superiors.  With the IRS, they see the Tea Party movement as a threat to them—so they targeted them with all their power in the same way that the Frisch’s manager targeted me just for reading a book.  My action made him feel bad about himself and he didn’t want the self-reflection.  So he attacked me.  The same thing has been happening between The White House, the FBI, the CIA, the DHS the IRS, and the Tea Party groups.

But there are rights and government is not allowed to harass people, so by using the First Amendment as a way to keep those corrupt souls in check, a balance of power can be maintained.  If that doesn’t work, then we have the Second Amendment. But losing one or both of those options is not in the cards as much as progressives would like to see.  They of course want unchecked power—but so long as humans desire such things, there will always be needed balances of power to counter those aggressions.  Presently power has been abused by the IRS and the federal government in general—and action against those villains is justified—and expected in defense of the First Amendment.  If it does not happen, well, then that’s why we have the Second.  But turning away and letting the situation die down is not the path to justice—as we can’t expect the bad guys to do the right thing and throw themselves in front of a truck to rid us all of their intellectual burden.  Cleta Mitchell has every right in the world to be upset.  Crimes were committed and since the government is in charge of the investigation, nothing is happening—which is corruption.  This is why government can never be so large, or can even be trusted to do basic tasks—and why progressivism is a failure that should be eradicated from the tongues of mankind forever.

‘Books A Million’ is Leaving Bridgewater Falls: High costs driven by taxation destroying culture

A constant that I have spoken often about which is one of my favorite places in the world to visit with my wife is the Books A Million store at Bridgewater Falls near my home in Liberty Township, Ohio.  The ideal night out for the two of us is to have dinner at Chilis, then walk over to Books A Million to buy a nice supply of books for the week.  We purchase a lot of books, we buy them online, we buy them from other bookstores, such as Barnes and Nobel in West Chester, or down at Newport on the Levy, but none more than Books A Million where the gigantic pillars at the entrance make book buying such an epic event.  There is nothing that makes my heart go “pitter patter” more than the purchase of a new book—it doesn’t matter if its historical, paranormal, social science, comic, philosophy, fiction, or whatever the topic—a new book in my hands or my wife’s is the best feeling in the world.  In our home there are over 500 books just from the Books A Million store mentioned.  Yet sadly, we were greeted this past Friday with a tragic knowledge—that Books A Million’s lease with Bridgewater Falls has expired, and now because of changes according to people close to the situation—the rates are going up and Books A Million will be closing that Bridgewater Falls location.  This news was equivalent to discovering that a dear friend was about to die—the impact will be long-lasting in my family.

When I bring so much attention to the cost of school levies or high taxes in general, it is places like Books A Million who suffer the most.  Only a few years ago Fairfield Schools passed a school levy, and as lease rates expire for many of the stores in a complex like Bridgewater Falls, the many apartments up and down RT 4, the various shops along the same corridor, property owners have little choice but to pass along the cost of those tax increases to leasers who then have to figure out if they can make enough money to pay a lease.  In the case of Books A Million they sell books which a lot of people enjoy, but that industry has been deeply impacted by online sales, and digital downloads. Books A Million has diversified, they’ve brought in toys and other gadgets to stay relevant, and had been holding their own.  But all it takes is a rate increase to mitigate their diminishing marginal return and make it no longer profitable for them to operate.

Pro tax people will state quite openly that the landlords—in this case Bridgewater Falls should absorb the higher taxes—but that’s never how things work. They have a diminishing marginal return to meet as well, and they know where their profit margins are, and what they are willing to do to perform the task.  In the case of Books A Million cost increases that were applied to Bridgewater Falls two to three years ago are just now having an impact on Books A Million because this is the period that their lease is up.  The cause may have occurred many years prior yet the impact is just now being felt.  When stores close and vacate an area this is most of the time the primary cause.  This is why there are old strip malls in towns like Middletown, and Hamilton who have long seen their better days sitting mostly empty.  Taxation destroyed their ability to attract diversified businesses—and the ones they had leave.

I have had talks with people close to the new development of Liberty Center just down the road—which will be a high-end type of enterprise—and part of those talks is to bring in a Joseph and Beth bookstore—if they can manage to secure the interest.  When Newport on the Levy was built, the developer worked hard to bring in the Barnes and Noble bookstore.  Large developments like these require something intellectual to mix with the restaurants, the clothing stores, and other variety shops.  It is psychologically refreshing to see a book store in a shopping complex—even for those who don’t read a lot of books.  A bookstore presence is a cultural asset to the shopping experience.  When Tri-County Mall lost their three bookstores over ten years ago, the clientele of Tri County Mall declined tremendously.  The same thing happened at nearby Cincinnati Mills–they lost their large Walden book store which was replaced by a shoe store and never drew the same type of numbers again.  The mall tried to appeal to a younger crowd by allowing bars and nightspots to soak up lease space, but it never worked.  It destroyed the culture of Cincinnati Mills.  Without a bookstore to serve as an intellectual anchor to the shopping experience the demographic shift changed unfavorably and the mall died.  When Borders Books and Music left the Princeton Pike shopping center across the street from Tri-County Mall that entire strip mall died on the vine.  The overall quality of the entire complex declined considerably leaving the next door restaurant of Red Squirrel alone and defenseless.  I used to have breakfast at that restaurant nearly every day.  Before the internet I would purchase newspapers from all over the country at Borders and go next door to the Red Squirrel to read them over a breakfast omelet.  Bookstores, even for people who don’t go to them very much, raise the profile of any shopping experience and when they leave, shortly after, the mall, strip outlet, or overall shopping experience declines rapidly.  Out of all the bookstores mentioned, the one at Bridgewater Falls was our favorite.  We often would go to the Mexican restaurant that was in the center of the Bridgewater complex basically because I have had so many political enemies that it was nice to eat there tucked away like we were in a cave.  I didn’t have to worry about stray “aggression” coming at me while we ate.  The design of that Mexican restaurant afforded that could actually relax with my wife while dining out.  After dinner we’d walk around the corner to Books A Millon and shop for countless hours.  Well, the Mexican restaurant is gone and Bridgewater has not been able to fill the space—likely the curb appeal versus lease rates is no longer compatible.  When Books A Million leaves, a giant empty building will greet visitors right at the shopping complex entrance.  Bridgewater Falls may think that they can fill the space with a shoe store, or something like a Kirklands—which failed at the location right across the street just a few years ago—but likely, once Books A Million leaves Bridgewater Falls, the shopping experience at that location will begin to decline over the next decade.  Books A Million was one of those stores which made Bridgewater Falls attractive from the outset—it was an anchor for that shopping complex, and it likely won’t survive the long haul.

My wife and I have been debating for months our attendance of Bridgewater Falls versus the new Liberty Center where again I have been asking for a Joseph and Beth bookseller there.  She is a very loyal person and she would not abandon Bridgewater Falls because of what Books A Million has meant to her.  Likely we are the extreme case, but we may not go to Bridgewater Falls again without a bookstore present.  We will have to go to Liberty Center when it opens or go to the Streets of West Chester.  However, the Barnes and Noble there isn’t in healthy shape either.  If not for the 50 Shades of Grey popularity, Barnes and Nobel were very close to bankruptcy.  My hope is that these bookstores can hold on until the new Star Wars films spike book sales in ways that bookstores require to keep brick and mortar outlets open—but there isn’t any guarantee.   Bookstores can only produce so much in sales, people enjoy knowing they are there—they don’t typically buy as many books as my wife and I do, but they enjoy seeing them in shopping complexes as a psychological reassurance that they are attending a place of culture.  Without a bookstore, a shopping complex takes on a nature of just a commercial center—and it quickly loses its appeal.

The high cost of doing business imposed by taxation hits hardest businesses that have low profit margins—like bookstores.  While it might take longer to affect stores like Forever 21 or Target, the first retail experiences to be shaped by high costs are places like Books A Million.  Once bookstores leave a shopping complex, it is usually just a matter of time before the shopping complex becomes a center of slum.  People still go to the restaurants, and buy cloths, but the overall quality of the shopping experience declines rapidly—and the amount of money a place like Bridgewater Falls can command with lease rates becomes substantially less.  When bookstores leave, the “dollar stores” move in, and with those a lower type of shopper comes with them—not the kind who spend a lot of money on other stores.  A slow death begins.

I will miss you guys at Books A Million.  My wife will miss you even more—and so will the rest of my family.  If I could pick one thing that would stay the same—it would be that Books A Million could stay at Bridgewater Falls—but due to the high taxation coming to the Butler County area—the path to gradual decline is inevitable.  Books A Million is simply the first casualty because it is most vulnerable with a perceived value that is less obvious.
