He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the
draft....His
friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad
temper....a complete failure at business until his
wealthy friends rescued him. Yet within a few short
years he was elected Governor of Texas, and quickly
catapulted into the White House in spite of losing the
popular vote. Then he was re-elected with last minute
help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of high
disapproval ratings. He still couldn't think his way
out of a wet paper bag without the advice of his staff
.....and yet he's been able to declare an endless war
and institute some of the most radical changes in
American history ....
....... How has
He done it?
George Walker Bush from the Skull and Bones is the
ANTI-CHRIST, the ultimate son of Satan , the Grandson
of the Great Beast 666.
The violence and destruction that began when Bush
first entered office, is now certain to culminate in
the apocalypse, as predicted in the Bible over 2,000
years ago.Be prepared for one of the key moments in
human history when the Messiah will revail himself to
his close friends and allies on the 21st of December
2012. This revelation will not be made public for
safety reasons, as the Messiah is as usual public
enemy number one. So this revelation made public only
in the year 2064 e.v. will be made in the meantime
only to his inner circle of close friends and trusted
Brothers and Sisters .
Hope we can all survive this tremendous ordeal in
front of us with the power of our prayers to God and
the will to front Satan with no fear in our eyes.

Monsanto=666 (12/11/2006)
I actualy worked a couple of times for MONSANTO at the
end of the 90's in London for the Market Research
Department , and Im obviously not very proud about
it. But we used to get very good money to simply put
togheter different groups of professionals in my
spare time and ask them questions that were linked to
MONSANTO products and find the more clever way to
manipulate people into loving Monsanto products, or
at least to not feel scared about them. So I was indeed
a big sinner at that time (may God forgive me).
The main problem we usualy had was that we could not
find the right kind of professionals so we invented them by
calling in a few actors for the sake of this sick play that often
was video recorded . MONSANTO and other big companies like BT,Motorola
, CNBC and even Starbucks Coffee Company didnt mind how they will
get these professionals for the Market Research because it was
only a show all this marketing rubbish. After all the only
important
thing was to have specialy trained people like me in
charge of the show , the so called trend setters of
the illuminati, to give them later the key info to go
forward in their materialistic satanic plot to rule
the world with all this rubbish and Jinn tecnology .
It was by the way my past time, and I made good money
from companies that have plenty of it and knew what
they were doing, but obviously I didnt receive yet
the light of Islam , otherwise I will never have
worked for these evil Satanist.

Block, Professor for Biophysik, Stanford University
Within
five to max. ten years the main parts of the global food chain
will be in the hands of only four large global acting corporations.
These companies hold exclusive patents on seeds, without which no
farmer or farmer of the world can sow and harvest later. They are
however not usual seeds. They are seeds, which became so
genetically altered that they commit suicide “after the first
harvest”. Thus it is to be guaranteed that seeds must again be
acquired each year - a business, which the devil could not have
better invented. If this development is not stopped, a new form of
serfdom develops, which until now was not thought to be possible.
Three
of the four private enterprises, which offer today genetically
changed seeds, exhibit thereby a dire connection for many decades
to the US war machine of Pentagon. Once they produced ”Agent
Orange“, which killed ten thousands in Viet Nam and even today
still causes damages. At present these companies, in co-operation
with the US Government, exert an enormous pressure on Europe, so
that also here fall all barriers against genetically altered seeds.
This
book is not history over profit greed. It is rather a history over
the dark side of power. Into the 1970er years explained Henry
Kissinger: “Who controls the oil, is able to control whole
nations; who controls the food, controls the humans.“The book documents that the American Rockefeller foundation
is the driving engine behind this development. Together with
private research institutes and in accomplice with the US
Government a small powerful elite tries to play God - with
frightening consequences for the peoples of the world. The
available work documents a gigantic conspiracy. This is however
unfortunately no theory or speculation, but rather rapidly
progressing reality.
Inform
yourself, before it is too late
”The
book od F. William Engdahl is deals with the large topic of the
genetically manipulated organisms (GMO), which are abused for geo
politics. It reads itself like a detective story of unbelievable
extent, in which four large Anglo-American agrarbusiness
enterprises are not frightened of crimes against mankind and want
to win over GMO the food and thus power over our world. Engdahl
analyzed with the utmost care exactly and the background and the
large connections convincingly represented, so that the reader
becomes deeply moved is force to think independently. Only if laws
on international level avoid the Genozid with GMO, peace on our
planet becomes possible - that is the conclusion. “ Dr. Anton
Moser, professor for biotechnology, Graz, Austria and vice
director of the Austrian institute for sustainable development
”
If you want to know something about the sozio-political program -
why biotechnology enterprises insist on spreading GMO seeds in the
whole world - then you should read this book. You will learn, in
which manner huge companies want to get control on all humanity
and why we have to resist.“

From the
president of Honesty International on Freemasonry (12/11/2006)
We want to show you the true face of
contemporary
Freemasonry in the eyes of another ex Freemason :
"Sick and dying from Liver Disease"
I observed a fellow trying to sleep on the side of the
sidewalk in the rain Nov 15, 2006
Granville St and West Broadway. All some people have
left is privacy for their last days,
so I didn't take a picture of him, but several minutes
later, he was gone, so I snapped
a picture of his sign. He complained that even his
donations were being stolen.
This was a HALF MILE from the Grand Lodge, so tell me
all about the charity work being done. Tell me how
everyone chooses to sleep in the rain purely out of
preference. Tell me how you live with yourself while
every vermin up the ladder rakes in millions, or
billions. Maybe you feel like a noble knight, fighting
the "good fight", but exactly what fight is that? To
look good amid the carnage? To walk as a master mason
among the corpses?
About all I can do now is do what masons hate the
most. Namely PREACH. Preach to the best of my ability
in a goodless wasteland. Preach about scum in high
places, preach about ethics as I am able, and preach
about the banks and corporations that are doing
this... and will do more evil if everyone shuts up and
gets on the corporate gravy train.
Change is no longer an option, it is ESSENTIAL. I'm
working on a bit of a book now, and some small time
recording... and will continue posting rants and
digital copies of the old Al Fry stuff that tipped the
scales and kept me from falling for the lore of the
Greedtards and their MY$TERY $CHOOL$.
People can defend Freemasonry all they like, but where
do you find financial ethics among the elite? All I
see are false fronts, brainwashed people, desperate
people, and people dying.

Moloch and the
Shriners (12/11/2006)
"let me answer partially to your questions :
first of all Islam does not have symbols sacred or non
sacred , Islam does not use symbols and does not give
any importance to them , so whoever claims that the
crescent or the sword is an islamic symbol is a plain
liare ...The shriners are not muslems , they are an
american massonic order that have nothing to do with
Islam , and they can claim for themselves whatever
they want ."
Mr X
I agree with Mr X and I want to add that the Shriner
Order are a bunch of perverts and they have been
kicked out of Mecca a long time ago for being judged
as total infedels .There exist two versions of the
"illuminati"
Shriners in the US and Europe, as number two was
created to manipulate influential Black Americans
from what is defined as Prince Hall Masonry
(Freemasonry for blacks only). I can also confirm from
a personal experience that the Ritual of the Kissing
of the Black Stone made by the Shriners is the most
infedel ritual in the world, as these blasphemers
kiss the ass of the Master in the Lodge/Temple and
not the Black Stone at the Kaaba in Mecca this is
disgraceful and offensive ,
it is a direct mockery of that solemn
tradition in the life of all muslims.
These illuminati should be really punished for
such diabolical rubbish even if it helps a few
hospitals...
Nowdays the illuminati Shriners completely control
from their Temples the A.A.S.R. (Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite) Lodges as part of the illuminati
pyramid, they actually made a massive campaign to get
Freemasons initiated in basketball stadiums ...YES
6000 at the time ready to join the illuminati Satanic
Shriners.
The Shriners then lead to the History of the Hillbilly
Degree :
by Imperial Raban Harris
"Many years ago, shortly after I became a Shriner, I
was exposed to the world of side-line degrees. Now to
reach this point in life, a man must first become a
Mason. That is a member of the Masonic Lodge. This is
a very great organization, so like my father and
brothers, I was very proud to become a member.
Now that I was a Mason; I was promptly informed that I
must go on up." Some urged me to take the York Rites,
and some said take the Scottish Rites; some even said
to take both. This some of the best advice that I have
ever had that I followed. Now I was able to petition
and join the Shrine. Shrine Temples are in all areas
of North America and apparently these fellows have
fun.
So I became a Shriner. A Shriner is permitted to wear
the red fez and join in the many social and charitable
activities. He can join the Clown Unit, the Marching
Patrol, Oriental Band, or other groups and participate
in the colorful parades and be seen in many public
places. The social activities are many and always
proud to be helping support the Shriners Hospitals.
What could be finer than to have fun and help the
crippled and burned children at the same time?
At this point I was beginning to acquire a billfold
full of cards. Each of the Masonic organizations
issues their own annual card, and they soon add up.
Then the Temple issues a card; and each of the Units
also issues their own annual cards. Now a Shriner
becomes exposed to the world of side-line degrees.
Many Shriners loved to join as many as possible in
order to be able to display the membership
cards-sometimes dozens and dozens, and he is always
proudest if he has more than the other Shriner. It is
quite common to see Shriners have special card cases;
which they will flip out at the faintest hint to
unfold a strip of cards a yard or two long. This is
the world of the side-line degree.
Side-line Degrees came under many names: the Horse
Traders, Swords of Timbuktu, Yellow Dog, Mandarin, Mad
Dogs of Lebanon and many, many others. Often I would
wonder where the money that myself and others paid out
for these small pieces of cardboard [the valuable
membership card] was going to. Why I even joined the
Old Bastards. The money went and the number of
membership cards grew.
Slowly into my world of awareness came the realization
that all of this money paid out for the side-line
degrees was going to Shrine clubs, groups of
individuals and sometimes to single individuals. The
money paid for fine banquets and parties, material
objects, and sometimes went into an individuals
pocket. Furthermore, some of the Rituals left me
rather cold or in disgust. This could not be right.
What the Shriners needed was a new side-line degree,
one that had a new and interesting ritual, and above
all a purpose—namely that all profits would go for a
worthy cause, to help the children who were admitted
to the Shriners Hospitals. The members of this new
side-line degree must have some fun and enjoy the
activities so that he wanted his friends to also
participate, and help spread the word of the new
Degree. Rules must be drawn up to assure that all
profits went to help those crippled and burned
children of the Shriners Hospitals and for no other
purpose.
After discussing side-line degrees with a friend one
day back in 1969, 1 decided to see if I could put
something down in writing to establish such a new
degree. I could only draw upon my own
experiences--born and raised in the Hills of West
Virginia and now living in the hills of Kentucky. I
could recall the outhouse moon; which closely
resembled the Crescent, a symbol held in the highest
esteem by all Shriners. This somehow reminded me of
corn cobs, moonshine, etc. So I sat down and wrote.
Slowly the new Degree took substance and form
Now the Hillbilly Degree did not take form in a few
days; it really took several months and several
rewrites. The truth is, if I had it to do over, there
are a few other changes I would make. However, it
finally looked pretty good. Much better than most of
the other side-line degrees that I had taken.
Then I wrote a Constitution to assure that no one made
any money from this Hillbilly Degree--all profits must
go to help those crippled and burned children of the
Shriners Hospitals. Now we are ready to go, and a
couple of friends agreed to help me try out the new
Degree.
With the help of a couple of friends, it takes three
to put on the Degree work, we initiated a few of the
Shriners of El Hasa Temple in Ashland, Kentucky and
everyone seemed to enjoy it. So we realized that the
new Hillbilly Degree would be accepted at least as
well as the many other side-line degrees.
The next step was to obtain a copyright, so that no
group could come along later and put on this degree
and not abide by the rules that the profits must go to
help the crippled and burned children. This was what
it was all about. Thus copyright No. 23370 was
obtained in 1970 which can and will be renewed after
it expires. Now all that these first Hillbillies
received upon initiation was the membership cards. Now
we found a source for Hillbilly Hats, and everyone
started to wear their ‘Hillbilly Tuxedos," the
overalls to all meetings. The more worn and patched,
the better they were accepted. The Hillbilly Degree
was on the way, but we still thought of this as only a
local side-line degree for the El Hasa Temple area.
At the Imperial Shrine Convention in Miami, Florida in
1970 we decided to put the Hillbilly Degree work on.
Over a hundred joined from other Temples, and the
Shriners from Hejaz Temple in South Carolina wanted to
be authorized to put on this Hillbilly Degree and put
on the work in the name of their own Clan. This called
for some quick action.
Since it was apparent that The Grand and Glorious
Order of the Hillbilly Degree was a success, it was
important to tie up all the loose ends. A Trust
agreement was drawn up between the three officers
accepting the responsibility of control of any money
coming into their hands to be for the charitable
benefit of the crippled and burned children. Agreement
was certified and duly registered. An application was
filed with the Internal Revenue Service for exemption
from Federal income tax and was approved. Finally
approval was granted by the Board of Trustees of the
Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children to raise
money for the Shriners Hospitals.
Now, do you know of any other side-line degree in
Shrinedom that has received all of these approvals? If
you do, let me know so that I can apply for
membership.
An Application for Chapter was drawn up and the people
of South Carolina from Hejaz Temple were granted Clan
No. 2. Slowly the word went out and Kosair received
Clan No. 3. Beni Kedem in W. Va. asked for Clan No. 4
in 1971; and Syrian of Cincinnati received Clan No. 5
in 1972. Clan No. 6 at Nemesis of W. Va. was not set
up until 1974, Aladdin of Columbus, Ohio became Clan
No. 7.
No. 8 also went to Aladdin, the only Temple to have
two Clans. Then came Rajah, Bektash, Yaarab, Lulu,
Oasis, Murat, Kena, Al Koran, Acca and Morocco. Others
followed in Al Chymia, Crescent, Moslem, etc. to the
current total of 60 Clans as of Sept. 1981. Two are in
Canada.
AN INTERESTING NOTE FROM THE WEB SITE OF IMPERIAL
RABAN:
Imperial Raban Harris adds in a note
that there are 160 Clans at the beginning of 1999.
Future Clans will be duly noted in the Hillbilly News,
so you can follow history as it is made."

THIS ILLUMINATI PYRAMID OF THE SHRINERS LEADS
DIRECTELY TO MOLOCH A DEMONIC JINN
FROM ANCIENT TIMES...
MOLOCH
A divinity worshipped by the idolatrous Israelites.
The Hebrew pointing Molech does not represent the
original pronunciation of the name, any more than the
Greek vocalization Moloch found in the LXX and in the
Acts (vii, 43). The primitive title of this god was
very probably Melech, "king", the consonants of which
came to be combined through derision with the vowels
of the word Bosheth, "shame". As the word Moloch (A.V.
Molech) means king, it is difficult in several places
of the Old Testament to determine whether it should be
considered as the proper name of a deity or as a
simple appellative. The passages of the original text
in which the name stands probably for that of a god
are Lev., xviii, 21; xx, 2-5; III (A. V. I) Kings, xi,
7; IV (II) Kings, xxiii, 10; Is., xxx, 33; lvii, 9;
Jer., xxxii, 35.
The chief feature of Moloch's worship among the Jews
seems to have been the sacrifice of children, and the
usual expression for describing that sacrifice was "to
pass through the fire", a rite carried out after the
victims had been put to death. The special centre of
such atrocities was just outside of Jerusalem, at a
place called Tophet (probably "place of abomination"),
in the valley of Geennom. According to III (I) Kings,
xi, 7, Solomon erected "a temple" for Moloch "on
the
hill over against Jerusalem", and on this account he
is at times considered as the monarch who introduced
the impious cult into Israel, but we are not sure we
can
subsribe to this theory as Solomon is also a key
figure for
the faith of Islam.
And lets go back to the Ritual of the Black Stone for
a moment,I know its not a must to kiss the Black Stone
in the Islamic faith but the Shriners are making a
mockery of our religion in their Temple's and last
year complains were even filed and released in open
Lodge in London. This happened in front of the
Brethern of the Masonic High Council for England and
Wales on the 29th of September 6005
when Brother Rui Gabirro pointed out the illegal
activities taking place in Shriners Temple's in the
USA. INCLUDING SNORTING COCAINE ON TOP ON THE HOLY
QU'RAN AND THE BIBBLE WITH PROSTITUTES ON THE SIDE!

The KAOS banning attempt
The KAOS banning attempt
from http://www.biroco.com/kaos/index.html
KAOS 14 was first published online on July 22, 2002.
Since that time there have been a number of attempts
to get it taken off the Internet, so controversial do
its contents appear to be in the eyes of some.
On August 20, 2002, the KAOS supplement was
temporarily suppressed due to a complaint by a person
or organisation that did not wish this material to be
made public.
The 69-page supplement concerns 'The Black Lodge of
Santa Cruz', and is a remarkable personal testimony of
occult experience in a magical Order – the Caliphate
OTO, renowned for use of legal muscle against both
publishers and web hosting companies, much like the
Scientologists.
For those who haven't heard of the now infamous 'Black
Lodge', until the publication of this important
document rumours abounded concerning a clandestine
initiatory body formed near the heart of the Caliphate
OTO in 1990, known as 'The Black Lodge of Santa Cruz'.
The supplement to KAOS 14 is written by a direct
witness and participant in these events, which
involved Enochian operations that threatened the power
base of the Caliphate.
We at KAOS, it has to be said, expected the work to be
controversial, but were surprised by the petty
strategies person or persons unknown used to try to
ensure no-one would be able to read it. Initially, the
supplement was moved to another server, while KAOS
itself remained on the original website unchallenged.
On October 17 2002, however, the entire KAOS website
was closed down by BT Internet and the account
terminated, either as a result of a further objection
by the original complainant or by someone else who
feels aggrieved by what I and others have written.
Forewarned by the initial partially successful
suppression attempt, we had taken the precaution of
setting up mirror sites and so when KAOS was closed
down we simply switched to a redirection URL and
pointed it at one of the mirrors.
This meant we could change the actual location of the
website at a moment's notice.
One wonders what those who wished KAOS 14 didn't exist
hoped to gain by making complaints about it. At the
time of the controversy I put together a couple of
pages on the background to this which may be of
interest, although I have decided not to update them
any longer, they remain as they were when the KAOS
website was closed down and are now archival material
(some of the URLs in this material no longer work):

Licio Gelli
the worshipful master of the P2 (Propaganda 2) (12/13/2006)
latest video reveals the POET AND CONSPIRATOR LICIO GELLI
Brother Licio Gelli Past Worshipfull Master of the P2
proudly continues the piloted opening of his image
showing is photo with Hitler and Mussolini at the
begining of the interview, and later we see him
talking about the infamous pictures of the Pope
wearing a swimming suit ( a demented scandal of the
time involving the Pope half naked by the swimmming
pool) And last but not least Brother Gelli reveals
that Opus Dei is a Catholic form of Freemasonry .The
Brother Gelli starts talking about the Secret Services
of the Vatican, described by him as a a very powerfull
Secret Service for a very powerfull State...yes one of
the two HQ's of Satan in the end of times (the other
being Jerusalem).
Gelli says that the Opus Dei is defined also as white
freemasonry and P2 as black freemasonry( the dark side
of the force) .In a masonic Temple we find on the
floor white and black that symbolize the good and the
evil side of mankind, the Vatican and the Jesuits have
obviously control over what's good and what's evil as
they think they are God as I told you in earlier
articles.
But Gelli never mentions the SMOM and the Jesuits in
this video as such topics are considered off limits to
the prophane journalist.
In the State archive in Pistoia they have opened the
heavy door of the room dedicated to the affairs of
Licio Gelli at the begining of 2006 , he donated part
of his archive which was transferred from his home
called Villa Wanda.
It is an extraordinary archive containing letters of
illuminati agents Torquato Tasso, Napoleon Bonaparte,
Giuseppe Garibaldi, Adolph Hitler, Giuseppe Verdi, yes
a very sick collection indeed.
some say it’s a truly God-given gift for historians
and for expert archivist but in reality Gelli kept the
best bits of this collection for himself including all
the dirty work for the SMOM and his Jesuit Masters.Wel
lets see the video:
Licio Gelli the Worshipfull Master of the Lodge P2 is very
sick with cancer so this will be probably the main reason why the
illuminati want him to make is last show with his confessions of a
poet and conspirator in his latest book “ Parola di
Venerabile”. In this book journalist Sandro Neri interview's for
hours Brother Licio the Puppet Master of the most powerful
Masonic Lodge in the world Propaganda 2.

The Scandinavian Vatican
Illuminati élite: The Swedish Rite (12/13/2006)
What is the Swedish Rite?
The Swedish rite is part of Scandinavian Freemasonry a
Christian fundamentalist Fraternity secretely linked
with the Vatican and the Jesuits.
The system is grouped into three divisions as follows:
St. John's (Craft) degrees:
I Apprentice
II Fellow Craft
III Master Mason
St. Andrew's (Scottish) degrees:
IV-V Apprentice-Companion of St. Andrew
VI Master of St. Andrew
Chapter degrees:
VII Very Illustrious Brother
VIII Most Illustrious Brother
IX Enlightened Brother
X Very Enlightened Brother (Very Vatican
illuminati...)
On top of the system is
XI Most Enlightened Brother, Knight Commander of the
Red Cross
( Vatican illuminati Puppet Masters of Scandinavia )
There are approximately 60 freemasons in Sweden
currently holding the XIth degree. They are present or
past members of the Grand Council or Grand Officers.
In 1811 King Karl established the Royal Order of King
Karl XIII. It is a civil order, conferred by the King,
only to Freemasons holding the XIth degree with the
number limited to 33. It is, however, not a Masonic
degree.
Progression from one degree to the next is far from
automatic. A brother has not only to be regular in
attendance - he has to give proof of his proficiency
and of his knowledge of Freemasonry.
There is only one form of accepted ritual for each
degree, and deviations are not tolerated. The
presiding Master follows an accepted ritual manuscript
when working a Lodge.
The Swedish Rite is worked in Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Finland and Iceland. It is also, in a German variant,
practiced in Grosse Landesloge der Freimaurer von
Deutschland (the Grand Lodge of All German
Freemasons).
The only Nazi Vatican illuminati Grand Lodges in the
world working this so called Christian Rite with the
blessings and written approval of the Pope are :

We the People
Will Not Be Chipped (12/15/2006)
We the People will not be Chipped - No Verichip
Inside Movement, is based on the irrefutable fact, that we believe
in mankind's inalienable human rights that are absolute and can
not be debased, nor perverted. Human life can not be degraded to a
16 digit RFID chip number embedded under you skin under any
circumstance. By uniting on this common ground, we can send a
strong message to the IBM funded Verichip that we the people will
not be chipped!
If you or your company/organization would like to get
involved with the We the People will not be Chipped -
No Verichip Inside Movement , we encourage you to get
in contact with us. We are looking for contributors ,
web designers, artists in all fields , printers,
multimedia experts, mailing houses, civil
libertarians, financial contributors, and freedom
fighters to help us take this message to the masses.
We will only be treated like inventory when
complacency becomes our drug of choice.
As history has a funny habit of repeating itself.
Study World War II closely on how IBM backed the Nazi
Regime utilizing the Hollerith Machine . The Hollerith
Machine was a punch card system that aided in
cataloguing the population. This IBM technology gave
the fascist, totalitarian state the much needed
technology boost to increase it's rate of human data
processing . The goal was simple, extreme nationalism
which called for the unification of all
German-speaking peoples and eradicating the enemies of
the state namely the Jews and other non-compliant
races.
Fast forward to the year 2006 , we have IBM funding
the parent company of the Verichip namely Applied
Digital Solutions [ADSX] . The VeriChip Corporation is
both FDA approved and patented with the owner of
patent (#6,400,338) granted recently to VeriChip's
manufacturer, Digital Angel Corporation, with
worldwide patents pending.
In the re-active world's state of affairs, we are
seeing world governments tightening measures in regard
to identity protection, trumpeting our need to be
protected from the forces of evil. As we move into the
age of paranoia and fear these ideologies, supported
by propaganda campaigns, demand total conformity on
the part of the people.
Satanist
Introvigne from the OTO talking about Satanism and crime in Sweden
(12/13/2006)
How is it possible?
Well ask your local police and you gonna see what kind
of reaction you get when you start mentioning the
illuminati criminals from the Ordo Templi Orientis, or
Lt.Col Aquino the ultimate PSYOP Master of the Devil
and the guys from the Temple of Set. But at the end
of the day they are serving the Vatican Satan and
they are the evil secret police of New World Order as
we all know by now. Be ready to fight for your Freedom
when you have a Nazi Satanist like Introvigne doing
lectures to the National Council for Crime Prevention
in Sweden.
Did Introvigne lecture in Sweden to protect us from
what?
From him?
This world is gonne completely insane so lets go with
the Swedish way to Nazism!
All the best,
Leo/Khaled
The Gothic Milieu:
Black Metal, Satanism, and Vampires
by Massimo Introvigne - A slightly different version
of this paper was presented at the conference
"Rejected and Suppressed Knowledge: The Racist Right
and the Cultic Milieu" organized by the Swedish
National Council for Crime Prevention, Stockholm,
15-16 February 1997
The New Satanism by illuminati Massimo Introvigne XI
degree OTOA
In 1996 both Italy and France were shocked by criminal
cases related to Satanist groups. In Italy Marco
Dimitri, the young leader of the larger Italian
Satanist group, the Luciferian Children of Satan
(Bambini di Satana Luciferiani), was arrested twice in
the same year on charges of rape. In France graves
were desecrated in Toulon (and subsequently in other
towns in Southern France): four members of a small
Satanist band were arrested. Similar incidents took
place in Romania, Russia and other countries. The
media were taken by surprise, considering that by 1996
the Satanism scares of the 1980s and early 1990s had
largely subsided.
Modern Satanism appeared in the 17th century. Satanism
should not be confused with witchcraft. While
witchcraft is a popular and normally unorganized
phenomenon, modern Satanism is the worship of the
Devil within the frame of organized movements and
elaborate ritual. Modern Satanists -- unlike
participants in earlier witchcraft -- are largely
members of the middle and upper classes. Similarly,
Satanism scares are different from witch hunts. Unlike
the latter, the former credit Satanists not only with
bloody crimes and relationships with the Devil but,
more specifically, with the power to secretly
influence -- if not direct -- the life of whole
nations and the course of human history. Organized
Satanism and Satanism scares manifest themselves in
the history of the West in a cyclical way. Groups of
Satanists (normally quite small) are detected and
their activities are magnified by this modern
invention, the press (in later cycles, TV). As a
reaction, a Satanism scare arises, where
anti-Satanists usually grossly exaggerate both the
number and the power of the Satanists, insisting that
they are behind contemporary social movements they
perceive as disturbing. In a third phase,
anti-Satanism is disqualified by its own
exaggerations, becomes disreputable and opens the way
for new open activities of Satanists, thus for a new
cycle.
The first important cycle starts with the activities
of a group of Satanists at the court of the French
King Louis XIV between 1662-1679. When the main
Satanists are tried for a number of crimes, press and
pamphlets guarantee an international notoriety to the
case. Between the end of the 17th century and the
beginning of 18th century a Satanism scare follows,
where anti-Satanists suspect Satanists (actually a few
dozens people in the French incident) to conspire in
the dark to promote Enlightenment skepticism and
anti-Christian culture and politics. Ultimately
anti-Satanist literature became so extreme as to be
easily discredited. This discrediting paved the way
for the occult revival of the years of the French
Revolution.
The Revolution, however (and the visibility of occult
and magical groups in the same years), prompted
another Satanism scare which lasted through the 1850s
and was revived in the 1890s. The Revolution,
Christian anti-Satanists argued, was so incredible
that it could not be a mere political phenomenon, and
a whole religious literature attributed it to the
conspiracy of secret societies such as the notorious
Illuminati or, more directly, to Satanists directed by
the Devil in person. Apparently, small groups of
Satanists were in fact active in France, Belgium and
possibly other countries in the 1850s. Their
activities caused the usual anti-Satanist
over-reaction.
The Satanism scare (which tried to explain also the
surprising success of Spiritualism through Satanic
conspiracy theories) had a first scholarly phase where
Catholic intellectuals discussed theories on Satanism
and Satan’s influence. In a second phase -- after the
success of Joris Karl Huysmans’ novel Là-bas (1891)
had familiarized the public with Satanism and Black
Masses -- scholars were replaced by journalists. At
least two of the latter -- the notorious Léo Taxil
(1854-1907) and his co-conspirator Charles Hacks ("Dr.
Bataille") -- were clever frauds who, having spread
incredible tales about Satanists, later admitted to
have exploited the gullibility of certain Catholic
conservative readers for a variety of purposes. The
game could not go on indefinitely, and Taxil had to
admit the fraud in 1897. His confession discredited
the Satanism scares for decades and only after sixty
years a truly international scare manifested itself
again. A large sociological literature exists on the
Satanism scares of the 1970s-1990s, an over-reaction
to the visibility of contemporary Satanist
organizations dating from the foundation of
California’s Church of Satan in 1966 and a
manifestation of larger hostility to "cults".
By the early 1990s, the theory that underground
"generational" Satanic cults are widespread and prey
on day-care toddlers had been largely debunked by
social scientists and law enforcement agencies
throughout the United States and Europe. Memories
"recovered" in therapy of past "satanic"
ritual abuses
are increasingly rejected as court evidence in both
United States and Europe. Only small pockets of
Christian counter-cult activists and fringe therapists
still believe in the factual reality of "satanic"
ritual abuses recovered during memory therapy.
Although the 1996 incidents have been greeted by these
groups with a we-told-you-so attitude, the scenario
was in fact quite different. The Satanism discovered
by Italian and French law enforcement agencies in 1996
is not the same Satanism exposed in the core books of
the anti-Satanist movement in the 1980s. It is also
different from "classic" Satanism of organizations
like Anton LaVey's Church of Satan or Michael Aquino’s
Temple of Set. The scenario introduced in the Satanism
scares of the 1980s postulated that Satanists are very
difficult to recognize. They are lawyers, doctors,
corporate executives. In fact, their activities are so
clandestine that they could be discovered only in
therapy by inducing their victims to recover
post-traumatic memories. The 1996 Satanists are, if
anything, too evident. Marco Dimitri and his followers
dress all in black, wear a plethora of Satanic
symbols, and have appeared as spokespersons for Satan
in popular Italian TV talk shows. While not as famous
as Dimitri, members of the Toulon gang also dressed
like a Satanist is supposed to dress.
Classic Satanism was born in California in the 1960s.
The Church of Satan was established in San Francisco
by Anton Szandor LaVey (1930-1997) in 1966 as a
development of an organization called The Magic Circle
that he co-founded in 1960 with Hollywood underground
film-maker Kenneth Anger. In 1975 most of the
leadership of the Church of Satan left LaVey's
organization and followed Michael Aquino into the
splinter group Temple of Set. The Church of Satan
became mostly a mail-order organization during the
1980s, but experienced a comeback of a sort in the
1990s through new leaders, the publication of the
newsletter The Black Flame, and the appearance of some
dozens of sister organizations throughout the world.
Although LaVey believed that Satan is only the
metaphor for a higher (and more selfish) human
potential, while Aquino maintains that Satan (or,
rather, Set) is a personal being, both are heavily
indebted for their worldviews and ceremonies to
British magus Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). While
Crowley did not believe in the personal existence of
Satan and despised Satanists, his rituals have been
adapted -- with the appropriate changes -- by almost
all modern Satanist groups.
At least before the mid-1980s members of classic
Satanist groups were typically middle class urbanites
in their forties and fifties. Except for ceremonies,
they would wear a jacket and a tie rather than black
leather "Satanic" clothings. This is certainly true
for European offshoots of classic Satanism such as the
two Churches of Satan based in Turin, Italy.
Additionally, their leadership needed to be rather
cultivated, since the magical works of authors such as
Crowley are not easy to grasp and require a solid
background in Western esotericism. The situation
somewhat changed in the late 1980s, when the Temple of
Set and some of the smaller groups inspired by the
Church of Satan realized that a sizeable youth
subculture potentially interested in Satanism existed
and tried, with mixed results, to get in touch with
it. The original Californian Church of Satan and the
Italian Churches of Satan, however, still largely
maintain the original character. By contrast the new
Satanist groups -- such as those "discovered" by the
police in Italy and France in 1996 -- are typically
lead by youths in their 30s, have as members mostly
teenagers, and it is extremely rare that their leaders
are well-educated in traditional Western occult lore.
They are much more interested in music.
The Gothic Milieu from the 1970s to the 1990s
The Gothic milieu (occasionally called the Dark Wave,
as a submilieu of the 1970’s New Wave) has largely
been created by rock music, although fiction, comics,
movies, Ã role-playing games and later the Internet
also had a relevant influence. Although the term
Gothic was created by outsiders, it was quickly
accepted by the movement, notwithstanding the fact
that the latter largely ignored 18th and 19th century
Gothic literature (with the possible exception of
Dracula, whose inclusion in the Gothic genre is
however disputed by contemporary critics). Gothic
music should not be confused with heavy metal. Metal
plays on the power of extreme human emotions and
feelings. Gothic concentrates on human reactions to
particular emotions associated with death, corpses,
blood, the macabre, and vampires. Although the Devil
is often mentioned, he is not always a key player in
the Gothic scene. Besides, Satan is mentioned in many
brands of rock music that are not Gothic (and so are
vampires, who make frequent guest appearances in heavy
metal music).
The origins of Gothic come from many different
sources. Gothic themes emerged around 1970 in England
and the United States with artists and groups like
Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath. Although these
musicians were not purely Gothic, fans of Alice Cooper
were largely responsible for introducing the Gothic
outlook, with its black-leather clothing and silver
earrings for males, in many European countries. In
1976 David Letts founded The Damned in England, a band
that was originally a punk group, but later focused
mostly on Gothic. Letts changed his name to David
Vanian (from "Transylvanian") and focused on the
vampire theme (although Nazi symbols were also
occasionally introduced). In the same year, Bernard
Sumner, Peter Hook, Ian Curtis (1957-1980) and Terry
Mason (later replaced by Stephen Morris) decided to
start a band in Manchester. Originally called Warsaw,
they changed their name to Joy Division in 1978 in
order not to be confused with a pre-existing London
punk group, Warsaw Pakt. The name came from the line
of huts were young deported women were forced to
prostitute themselves to German officers in Nazi
concentration camps. Notwithstanding the name, Joy
Division denied any Nazi sympathies and in fact
appeared at the Manchester Rock Against Racism benefit
concert in 1978. Although Joy Division occasionally
used Nazi paraphernalia on stage, its portrait of
Nazism was, if anything, sad, as evidenced from the
following lines of its hit "They Walked In Line":
All dressed in uniforms so fine,
they drank and killed to pass the time.
Wearing the shame of all their crimes
with measured steps they walked in line.
They walked in line.
They carried pictures of their wives,
and number tags to prove their lies.
And made it through the whole machine,
with dirty hearts and hands washed clean.
They walked in line.
Joy Division eluded classification, but its haunted
and ghostly atmospheres had a deep influence on later
Gothic. On May 18, 1980, just before Joy Division was
to leave England for their first U.S. tour, Ian Curtis
hung himself in his kitchen. Without its talented
singer and lyricist, replaced by Bernard Sumner, the
group continued as New Order and remained influential
on the alternative (but much less on the Gothic) music
scene.
In the years when Joy Division was becoming popular, a
more cultivated version of Gothic was introduced in
England by singer Suzie Sioux, "Siouxsie". Sioux came
from punk, and was inspired by groups like the Sex
Pistols. She was also a friend of Genesis P-Orridge,
an Aleister Crowley enthusiast and the founder of the
Temple of Psychick Youth (TOPY). Orridge's music — the
first wave of industrial, or "industrial culture" --
was as far from Gothic as possible, but his contacts
with Sioux did much to introduce Crowley in the Gothic
milieu. Later, Orridge will become an inspiration for
the birth of the "second wave" or industrial music,
much closer to the Gothic and, in fact, occasionally
labeled "industrial Gothic". This further subgenre
will emerge in the late 1980s around the Wax Trax
circle in Chicago, will become well-known with the
Nine Inch Nails of Trent Reznor and their influential
album Pretty Hate Machine (1989), and will eventually
triumph with Marylin Manson. In the late 1970s Sioux
founded Siouxsie and The Banshees. Robert Smith, the
leader of a much more famous band, the Cure, worked
with Siouxsie and the Banshees in 1983-1984 following
four influential Cure albums.
Largely responsible for defining Gothic as a genre was
Bauhaus, whose leader Peter Murphy continued as a
popular Gothic musician after the dissolution of the
group in 1983. By 1983 -- the year when another early
Gothic group, The Misfits, also separated -- Gothic
music was experiencing a boom. New groups emerged,
including The Sisters of Mercy and later, in 1988,
Dark Theater whose leader, Vlad, wears portable fangs
and claims to actually drink blood (originally only
from his wife, Lynda, who later divorced him and now
proclaim herself a "lesbian Goth"). Blood-drinkers
are, at any rate, a small distinct subculture within
the Gothic milieu, perhaps closer to sado-masochism
than to teenage Gothic.
While classic punk was experiencing a crisis, Gothic
groups, including the 45 Grave, inherited some of its
features and its fans. By 1990 the Gothic scene was
truly international, with bands in countries such as
Japan, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Poland, Italy, in
addition to Germany, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. By 1990, the Gothic subculture was well
established with specialized magazines, including
Propaganda (established in New York by Fred H. Berger
and perhaps the most important voice for the Gothic),
and Ghastly.
Non-Gothic groups such as the Iron Maiden and Kiss
felt compelled to issue at least an album with Gothic
themes. But readers of Propaganda and other members of
the Gothic subculture typically skipped the most
famous groups as being too commercial. They rather
regarded themselves as part of an elite subculture,
lionized less well-known groups and remained apart
from the larger world of rock fans. Being part of the
Gothic milieu for many was not a Saturday evening
concert affair, but a permanent lifestyle. "True"
Goths dress in black every day of the week, wear
peculiar jewelry and use their own jargon. Rather
macabre allusions and jokes -- whose meaning is often
lost to outsiders -- are a trademark feature of their
style.
Around 1990 the Gothic milieu, born from music,
started to be increasingly defined by its literary
preferences as well. Two Gothic role-playing games
focusing on vampires -- Ravenloft, that emerged in
1990 from the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons, and
Vampire: The Masquerade, introduced by White Wolf in
1991 -- had an important influence on the milieu.
Considering the Gothic milieu's love affair with
horror literature (including frequent allusions in its
music to such classics as Dracula), it is surprising
that references to Stephen King are virtually
non-existent. King is probably just too popular for a
subculture glorying in its minority status. He also
insists that his novels do not promote any kind of
worldview. By contrast, Anne Rice -- who occasionally
does claim that she is introducing a worldview, with
increasingly apparent Gnostic and Kabbalistic
references -- is immensely popular in the Gothic
milieu. Classics of Gothic and horror literature, from
"Monk" Lewis to Lovecraft, are largely ignored, with
the occasional exception of Dracula.
Gothic events, including the 1989 Theatre of the
Vampires held in Long Beach, California, musicians
such as Tony Lestat (a main participant in the 1989
event and singer of Wreckage), shows such as Tony
Sokol's La Commedia Del Sangue: Dances From A Shallow
Grave - The Vampyr Theatre, Gothic bands such as
Lestat, and the Italian Theatre des Vampires, fanzines
such as Savage Garden (published in English in Milan
and now renamed Wistaria) all borrowed their names
(and much more) from Anne Rice. Later, in 1992,
another New Orleans female horror writer, Poppy Z.
Brite, wrote a cult novel for the Gothic milieu, Lost
Souls, featuring the encounter of real undead vampires
with the Gothic subculture of a small American town.
As of the mid-1990s the very success of the Gothic
threatens its existence as a separate genre in rock
music. Contemporary rock is eclectic, and it is often
difficult to tell what genre a group is all about.
Such labels as post-punk, dark metal, doom metal,
garage rock and trash are difficult to define and
often include Gothic themes. If anything, some of the
new labels mean to convey a passion for the outrageous
and the extreme, and regard the Gothic bands of the
1980s as moderate. The most extreme subgenre which
emerged in the 1980s is black metal, mixing heavy
metal and Gothic. Black metal is both musically and
culturally less sophisticated than Gothic, but fans
may switch from one to another and still remain part
of the same Gothic subcultural milieu.
Generally credited with starting black metal is a
British band, Venom. Formed in 1978 and originally
named Oberon, Venom assumed its name in 1980 and
introduced Satanism and the cult of death as a main
heavy metal theme. Their song "Black Metal" (1982)
defined the subgenre and became an anthem for the
movement:
Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode.
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note.
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
Brain Hemorrhage is the Cure (Venom - Welcome to Hell,
1997).
Proclaiming themselves the "Sons of Satan", Venom
called to:
Live like an angel, die like a devil,
Got a place in hell reserved for me,
Live like an angel, die like a devil,
Gonna burn in Hell, that’s where I’m gonna be"
["Live Like An Angel (Die Like a Devil)," 1981, in
Venom- Welcome to Hell 1997].
Another of Venom’s most famous -- and both Satanic and
vampiric -- hits was "In League With Satan" (1981):
I’m in league with Satan
I was raised in Hell
I walk the streets of Salem
Amongst the living dead
I need no one to tell me
What’s wrong or right
I drink the blood of children
Stalk my prey at night (Venom - Welcome to Hell 1997).
Specialists of metal discuss whether after Venom there
is a difference between black metal and death metal,
the latter being more brutal, more interested in drugs
and sex, and more faithful to Venom’s original
inspiration. One problem is that some of the most
famous bands have evolved through the years. Bathory,
started in Sweden in 1983, was originally very much
influenced by Venom but by 1987, with Under the Sign
of the Black Mark, started evolving towards a new
style, later called "modern" or "Northern"
black
metal. In 1990, with Hammerheart, an element of Viking
romanticism started playing a key role. The Swiss
group Hellhammer between 1982-1984 was one of the
bands defining black metal; renamed Celtic Frost in
1984 they quickly evolved out of black metal and
continued until 1993 insisting that they were not part
at all of the black metal scene. The early albums of
the German band Sodom, established in 1983, were black
metal, while their later productions could rather be
classified as speed metal, a different subgenre. By
contrast, Florida bands such as Death (established in
1985), Obituary, Deicide and Morbid Angel (who came to
Florida from North Carolina) are usually classified as
death (rather than black) metal. Contemporary doom
metal may be regarded as a later development of death
metal.
Black metal has become popular in segments of the
Gothic milieu in a number of countries, including
Greece, Brazil, France, Poland, Norway and Sweden. A
frequent feature of black metal, particularly in its
"modern" or "Northern" form, is extreme
hostility to
Jesus Christ and Christianity. The anti-Christian
theme keeps together different worldviews. Some black
metal groups are pagan; others are Satanist. Some are
not interested in politics, while others are overtly
neo-Nazi or promote a nationalism rooted in
pre-Christian Northern Europe. In Norway-- and
subsequently in other countries -- the anti-Christian
activities of some black metal groups took the illegal
form of "esoterrorism", or esoteric terrorism. Two
black metal groups -- Emperor and Burzum -- were
involved in burning Christian churches, including
historical monuments, and in desecrating Christian
cemeteries. Emperor one-time member, Bård Eithun,
killed a gay man who approached him at night in a
Lillehammer street in 1992. Vandalizing graveyards
seems to be a popular activity in segments of the
black metal milieu in a number of countries, including
Italy and France. Varg Vikernes ("Count Grishnackh",
or "The Count"), the leader of Burzum -- who somewhat
converted from Satanism to "a National Socialist form
of racialist Odinism" --, not only was involved in the
burning of at least ten churches, but was later
sentenced to 21 years of prison after killing in 1993
fellow black metal musician Oystein Aarseth,
"Euronymous". Although the press liberally described
the homicide as "Satanic" and "ritual" -- and
Varg
himself claimed that the unfortunate Euronymous was a
"false Satanist" and a "communist" --, in fact
the
main reason for the crime was a quarrel over money and
the management of the musical label Deatlik Silence.
Varg remains a popular character in the black metal
milieu, and continues to write music and articles for
the specialized fanzines from jail. In 1997 he
published his "sacred text", Vargsmål, and announced
that he had discovered a forerunner and (alleged)
pioneer racialist Odinist in Vidkun Quisling
(1887-1945), whose very name is synonymous of
collaboration with the Nazis, not only in Norway. From
a musical point of view, Mayhem -- Euronymous’ band,
started in 1984 and coming back in 1994 after
Euronymous’ death -- remains the most influential
model of "modern" Black Metal. In 1990 they recorded
Live in Leipzig which included one of their most
famous songs, "Carnage":
Witchcraft, blood and Satan
Meet the face of Death
Blood
Fire
Torture
Pain
KILL
(...) Winds of war, winds of hate
Armageddon, tales from Hell
The wage of mayhem, the wage of sin
Come and hear, Lucifer’s sings (Mayhem, "Live in
Leipzig",1990).
The earlier "Deathcrush" (1987) was not more
reassuring:
As the fate of Euronymous sadly confirmed, violence in
the Norwegian black metal scene was not purely a
matter of lyrics. Without burning churches, groups
such as Bekhira and Osculum Infame in France, or
Marduk in Sweden are not less anti-Christian. A 1995
CD of Marduk (evolving from a 1991 demo) is called
Fuck Me Jesus, and its cover shows a young girl
masturbating with a crucifix. A look at the catalogue
of the French musical distributor Osmose Productions
(specialized in black metal) shows bands with names
such as Impaled Nazarene (from Finland), Rotting
Christ (from Greece), Diabolos Rising (with musicians
from Greece and Finland), Fallen Christ (and a number
of references to Aleister Crowley). In France some
industrial rock bands, including Dissonant Elephants
and Non, have jumped onto the anti-Christian
bandwagon, although with a different musical style. In
1996 Dissonant Elephants released a CD, Our Eyes Like
Daggers, with liberal quotes from the ubiquitous
Aleister Crowley and a cover featuring Jesus Christ on
the cross with a clown-like red nose. The activities
of these groups are among the reasons for the
establishment of a Catholic Anti-Defamation League in
France in 1997.
On the other hand, it is important to note that black
metal is not really representative of the Gothic
milieu in general. It is a small segment, a subculture
within a subculture. There is a larger number of
musical and other groups inspired by Anne Rice, whose
worldview is not anti-Christian but rather a brand of
gnostic Christianity (as suggested in Rice's novel
Memnoch the Devil, 1995). Black metal is also
anti-Jewish, with frequent references in its fanzines
to the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, while
Rice's 1996 novel Servant of the Bones is a tribute to
Jewish esoteric culture. Black metal also emphasizes
Satanic and pagan symbols and has no colours but
black, while the mainstream Gothic subculture,
influenced by the glam rock music of Kiss, and by Tom
Cruise's movie portrait of Anne Rice's vampire Lestat,
increasingly includes elaborate and baroque ways of
dressing, quite far away from the old black leather
jackets.
The Gothic Milieu as a Metanetwork and the Emergence
of Gothic Movements
The Gothic milieu is loosely organized. Its main
organizing agents are magazines such as Propaganda,
but more obscure fanzines with limited circulation
also have an important influence. It could be
described as a network, or -- more accurately -- as a
metanetwork, where participants in different networks
convene. There is, for instance, a recognizable
network of Anne Rice fans, and thousands attend the
yearly Gatherings of the Coven organized in New
Orleans by The Anne Rice's Vampire Lestat Fan Club
(established in 1988) and by the Louisiana writer
herself. Most of these fans dress like the vampire
Lestat only once a year, and have no contacts with the
larger Gothic milieu. Some, however, do adopt a Gothic
lifestyle. For them the network of Anne Rice fans is
the door to enter the larger metanetwork of the Gothic
subculture. Similar comments are in order for the many
fans of Gothic role-playing games such as Ravenloft or
Vampire: The Masquerade. (There are also darker
role-paying games for the black metal milieu, but
their following is not very large). Hundreds of
thousands of them certainly do not dress in black, and
are not even interested in Gothic music. But, again,
active involvement in these role-playing communities
(and their lively exchange over the Internet) may
become a door to access the Gothic metanetwork.
This does not mean that every fan of role-playing
games is on his or her way to become a Satanist. This
view is promoted by professional anti-Satanists such
as Pat Pulling who, after the suicide of her son Bink
in 1982, founded BADD (Bothered About Dungeons and
Dragons), claiming that role-playing games were
literally "stalking our children for Satan." Groups
like BADD are part of a larger Evangelical
counter-cult (and anti-Satanist) scene and seems to
have become less influential in recent years. At any
rate, it is when fans of Gothic music also become
interested in Anne Rice, and when Ravenloft players
start attending Gothic clubs and dressing in black
that the metanetwork really takes shape. As mentioned
earlier, participation in one of the Gothic networks
does not necessarily mean that one takes the next step
and becomes a participant in the metanetwork or part
of the Gothic milieu.
Further, being part of the Gothic milieu does not mean
that one joins a particular movement. Dressing mostly
in black, wearing silver jewelry with macabre themes,
and focusing musical preferences on Gothic groups not
well-known in rock's mainline market are the
trademarks of the Gothic milieu. In Stark and
Bainbridge terms, many or most participants in the
Gothic milieu only participate in audience or client
cults, not in cult movements. Occasionally, however,
movements emerge, but they only involve a minority of
those who participate in the milieu.
It seems appropriate to distinguish between
pre-existing movements recruiting in the Gothic
milieu, and movements born from the milieu itself.
Among the first are some "old" Satanist and neo-pagan
groups. As mentioned earlier, some classic Satanist
groups have realized that the Gothic milieu may be an
interesting ground for recruiting new members. The
Temple of Set has designed its Web page in order to
attract the Gothic subculture, and on February 1, 1997
Don Webb, High Priest of the Temple of Set, introduced
his movement at the Hellhouse of Hollywood, a (now
defunct) California bookstore typically catering to
Gothic clients. Classic Satanist groups are quite
small, and even the addition of a few new members
could be significant in order to preserve their very
existence. Their success in recruiting in the Gothic
milieu is not, however, spectacular.
Most Gothic bands are not particularly interested in
Satan or Satanism. Some black metal fringes certainly
are, but they typically scorn organizations like the
Church of Satan or the Temple of Set as "moderate" or
"liberal" Satanism. Uww, the founder of French black
metal fanzine Deo Occidi (published in English),
contrasts "liberal Satanism" and "fascist Satanism"
and embraces the latter. The "liberal Satanism" of
classic American movements is regarded as extreme
individualism and as a shameless apology for
capitalism. Uww also mentions that Anton LaVey is a
"moderate Jew". Additionally, classic Satanism is
accused of dealing only in words. Black metal prefers
actions and events, and clearly admire Scandinavian
esoterrorism. It is also against capitalism,
liberalism, democracy, and Judaism according to
classic European Nazi models. Small Satanist groups
catering to the black metal Satanist fringe include
the Black Order, the Order of the Nine Angles, the
Ordo Sinistra Vivendi (formerly the Order of the Left
Hand Path), and the Order of the Jarls of Balder. None
of them has more than fifty members and all belong to
a network called The Infernal Alliance. Although this
wing of Satanism had its most important centers in the
U.S. and New Zealand, combining fringes of classic
Satanism and black metal, it is now present in
European countries such as the United Kingdom and
France. Most of these groups are openly Nazi. In the
version of the Black Mass of the Order of the Nine
Angles, participants affirm their belief that "Adolf
Hitler was sent by the Gods to lead us into
greatness". In bad but not difficult to understand
Latin, they worship Hitler together with Lucifer. The
priest gives the cup to the priestess with the words:
"Suscipe, Lucifer, munus quod tibi offerimus memoriam
recolentes, Adolphus". All reply: "Hail Hitler".
Some neo-pagan groups have also attracted individual
members of the Gothic milieu. This is particularly
true for continental European and Scandinavian Odinist
movements (who have in turn attracted portions of the
black metal fringe), while the British and American
Wicca is largely remote from the Gothic style.
English-speaking neo-paganism and Wicca have matured
beyond their early anti-Christian phase, while it is
precisely the anti-Christian theme of continental
neo-paganism that may occasionally attract black metal
fans.
An interesting, if controversial, movement is the
Temple of the Vampire based in Lacey, Washington, and
not to be confused with the Order of the Vampyres
within the Temple of Set. The Temple appears to have
been created outside the Gothic milieu but with the
specific purpose of attracting members of it. Its
founder, Lucas Martel, is a former member of the
Church of Satan, and like LaVey's, his is a largely a
mail-order organization. It claims to continue an
ancient religion called Hekal Tiamat and to keep its
sacred book, the Shurpu Kishpu. The Temple is not
Satanist; it mostly teaches how to contact the Vampire
Gods through a ritual in seven steps. The crucial step
is the fourth, where the celebrant offers to the
Vampire Gods his or her own life force and the life
force he or she has captured from other weaker human
beings. Signs such as "ringing in ears" or "unusual
pulling sensations at the solar plexus" confirm that
the Vampire Gods have accepted the offering. The
Temple's worldview is also apocalyptic, since "we are
now approaching the Final Harvest", when "the human
stock shall be drained in a carnage of energy release
unlike anything seen before". The energy released by
killed humans would allow the Vampire Gods to descend
and rule on Earth with their faithful followers, the
initiates. "The humans shall (...) continue to serve
as slave and food" when "the Great Undead Gods shall
return to their mighty thrones of Power." Given the
popularity of the vampire theme, many in the Gothic
milieu check out the Temple of the Vampire. Few stay,
fearing that the mail-order scheme may simply be a
money-making business, or disagreeing with the brutal
worldview. After all, in contemporary literature
"postmodern" vampires are often depicted as not
entirely evil, but caring for humans (Chelsea Quinn
Yarbro's Saint-Germain) or at least psychologically
ambiguous (Anne Rice's Lestat).
Finally, a number of movements have really and
entirely originated from portions of the Gothic
milieu. While some of these movements are pagan and
anti-Christian but not technically Satanist --
including The Sacred Order of Emerald in France --
most claim to be Satanist. One of them, however, the
French Confrérie spirituelle sataniste les Croisades
de la Nouvelle Babylone, declares to promote the
"unification" of "Satanists, Luciferians, pagans
and
neo-pagans." The larger Satanist group emerging from
the Gothic milieu has been, before its disruption by
the Italian police in 1996, Marco Dimitri's Luciferian
Children of Satan (Bambini di Satana Luciferiani -
BSL). BSL grew in the 1980s from Dimitri's precocious
interest in Aleister Crowley and classic Satanism. But
it proclaimed that classic Satanism was a thing of the
past, and that a new, bolder Satanism was required.
The history of BSL is a paradoxical tribute to the
power of the media. BSL was originally a small, local
group. It was only when, from 1989, it was targeted by
the Catholic milieu of Bologna (Dimitri’s city and
home to the largest Italian Catholic counter-cult
group, GRIS) and later by secular anti-cultists that
BSL attracted the interest of the national press. This
lead to Dimitri’s participation in some of the most
popular Italian TV talk shows as a spokesperson for
Satan.
While classic Satanists in Italy have wisely avoided
the media (and criticized Dimitri for not following
their example), Dimitri was only too eager to oblige
talk shows host desperately in need of someone "from
the other side" to animate prime time shows on
Satanism which would be boring if limited to
anti-cultists and theologians. The "success" of some
talk show appearances as astonishing. True, Dimitri
was generally ridiculed by hosts and fellow guests
alike. But -- among millions of viewers -- he never
failed to attract a dozen or more teenagers who later
contacted him at his not-too-confidential Bologna
address. The Italian black metal milieu somewhat
adopted Dimitri as a fellow traveler, despite
reservations by some. By 1996 BSL had grown to some
200 members over North and Central Italy. In 1992
Dimitri was arrested for obscenity, but this was not a
serious matter. Much more serious is the prosecution
started against him and fellow members in 1996, citing
rape of a female follower unwilling to fully comply
with her sexual duties as priestess and the
participation of children in rituals. On 20 June 1997
a jury of the court of Bologna found all defendants in
the Children of Satan case not guilty of rape and
child abuse. The leader, Marco Dimitri, was however
found guilty of a minor tax offense. The prosecutor,
herself an active participant in Bologna’s anti-cult
milieu, appealed the decision, but lost again in 2000.
It is certainly true that the BSL book Vangelo
Infernale (Infernal Gospel) -- intended for private
circulation only -- at least symbolically suggests
that sexual abuse and pedophilia may be part of an
acceptable Satanic lifestyle. Vangelo Infernale is not
a particularly memorable esoteric text, and it is
unlikely that it may have attracted much interest.
Ultimately, there were the anti-Satanist campaigns of
secular anti-cult and Catholic counter-cult movements
that introduced the BSL to the media and made them
more well-known than they originally were.
On the other hand, the burning of churches in Norway,
and the profanation of cemeteries in Southern France,
confirm that, although small, some movements arising
from the Gothic milieu, particularly from some of its
black metal fringes, are indeed dangerous and may be
involved in criminal activities. Law enforcement
agencies are to be commended if they keep a watch on
these movements, particularly those combining Satanism
and neo-Nazism. Undue media emphasis on their
activities could, on the other hand, backfire and
induce copycat remakes of their most spectacular
deeds. It would surely be unfair to blame the
activities of a small group of movements, including a
few hundreds members throughout the world, to all
neo-pagan or occult organizations, whose activities
are normally carried out within the limits of laws. It
would be even more unfair to regard the most extreme
Nazi or Satanic fringe of black metal as
representative of the entire Gothic milieu (and indeed
of the entire black metal subgenre, where many groups
are neither Nazi nor Satanist). Although
unconventional in its way of dressing and lifestyle --
designed, as with previous movements, to shock adults
and express teenagers' independence -- the Gothic
milieu is not normally engaged in criminal activities,
nor primarily interested in Satan or Adolf Hitler. The
evolution of horror literature may also exert a
positive influence on the Gothic milieu. The heroes of
this literature, in its postmodern versions, are no
longer monsters who, like the Judeo-Christian Satan,
are totally evil, but psychologically complicated
characters -- epitomized by Anne Rice's Lestat --
caught in the middle of eternal dilemmas about good
and evil. One such character is Angel, the only
vampire portrayed sympathetically in the Gothic fad of
the late 1990s for teenagers, the TV series Buffy the
Vampire Slayer (which, of course, also has a
significant non-Gothic — and non-teenager --
following). The other role model in the series are
vampire slayers such as Buffy, or techno-pagans good
girls such as Buffy’s best friend, Willow, who
combines witchcraft and high computer literacy in
order to battle evil vampires and other preternatural
creatures. Following the evolution of its preferred
fiction, the Gothic milieu -- no longer dressed only
in black -- may simply become, as other previous
countercultural movements, a collective rite of
passage introducing teenagers to meaningful questions
about life and death.
