thanks ahab , james & kos - appreciate you reading let alone contributing to the thread - for which I have sawn off another yard or two of conspiraloon meanderings Paedophilic Ponerology“Ponerology describes the genesis, existence, and spread of the macrosocial disease called evil. Its causes are traceable and can be repeatedly observed and analyzed. When humanity manages to incorporate this knowledge into its natural worldview, it will have defensive potential as yet unrealised.”
ponerology.comSome years ago the then editor of the Sunday Telegraph – the gloriously named Peregrine Worsthorne - wrote a story about attending a dinner party in the Netherlands at which the adjacent dinner-guest enquired in a matter-of-fact way as to whether he had enjoyed sexual relations with his own daughter.
It is interesting to speculate what the result would have been if he had said yes – as a journalist he might have been onto an interesting story.
I suspect he was – as a leading & influential figure in the British media - being tapped-up for admission into the deeply black network of elite power – a trans-national “monster” wallowing in a toxic miasma of moral & financial corruption in which it spawns its twin bastard & mis-shapen abominations - paedophilia & child-abuse upon which it nourishes itself like the mad god Chronos .
It happened to
Kevin Annett too :
In October of 1992, when I was still a United Church clergyman, I was approached by a colleague at my first Presbytery meeting in Nanaimo . The topic of child abuse came up, and after a few moments, the other man, a retired minister, smiled and gave me a sort of insider’s look. He lowered his voice and said to me,
“It’s easy to get a child in this town.”
I must have looked shocked, for his smile faded.
“What do you mean?” I said.
“Nothing” he replied. “Some people are, you know, interested in that sort of thing.”
It all felt like an offer, masked but real, like a sort of masonic handshake: something known to insiders only.
“Organised” / elite-level paedophilia stands in relationship to the common or garden variety much like any other form of organised crime in terms of the sophistication , scale & reach of its operations & the degree of financial resources & political influence it can command.
I would like to float the following 2 propositions to attempt a fuller understanding of it , if possible to contextualise this phenomenon both sociologically & chronologically :
( 1 ) as a dynamic & cohesive element within an over-arching mechanism of political control -that the aim of the control mechanism is to achieve , maintain & extend – beyond any rational limit – control over the hegemonic system of human exploitation mis-characterised by the anodyne term “capitalism”.
( 2 ) as a component of a belief-system that emerged as a reactionary moral counter-revolution against the forces of modernism & democratisation associated with the economic developments of “capitalism”.- that the engineers of this control mechanism are profoundly old & deeply-seated elite groups of oligarchical “crime families” who hide behind ,create, co-opt, use & discard a bewildering variety of institutional & organisational forms over literally centuries to occult their activities.
I believe the “modern” manifestation or mutation of this may arise from & consequential to the revolutionary anti-monarchical upheavals known to history as the English Civil War of 1641-51 , its global spread explained by the subsequent revolutionary forces of democracy in the continent of Europe & America & contemporaneously, I believe if my theory is correct, to China.
Certainly I would point to the transformation of the Chinese communist elite into godfathers of hyper-capitalism within an unreformed framework of oppressive top-down control & police-state suppression of freedom & dissent as is in every way analogous to the historic process I posit & would further contend that the true roots & character of modern global hyper-capitalism can be seen not in the philosophical musings of that famous Scotsman Adam Smith & his cottage industry pin-manufacturing but in the slave-like status of feudal serfs in relation to their baronial – now corporate – overlords.
In popular consciousness – to the extent the terms aren’t oxymoronic – the vague & uncomfortable perception of this reality – the shadow on the cave wall – has passed down under the cover-all heading of “Satanism” – alongside vague notions of nefarious goings-on in large country houses – a sort of grown-up’s version of suburban wife-swapping with some human sacrifice thrown-in.
Following some carefully-staged
“Satanic Panics”&
”academic” attacks in the previous decade the term has become discredited – so maybe its time for a new term - perhaps “Raisianism” – after the French Marshall (1404-1440) , aristocrat & child-murderer
Gilles de Rais not only to supercede the former designation but also as a more fitting descriptor of the actual perpetration of a particular variety & level of sexual perversion , than that ascribed eponymously to the demented fantasies of his fellow Gallic libertine the Marquis de Sade whose amateurish whore-thrashing efforts would barely qualify him for a mid-level position in Common Purpose.
For a small & peripheral nation Scotland has exerted enormous influence intellectually & politically whilst its social structure – based around extended networks of inter-locking ( & often feuding ) familial clans seems rather more reminiscent of southern Europe
This tight & exclusive nature combined with disproportionate influence do much, I believe, to provide any possible force or salience behind the proposition of conspiratorial exceptionalism .
And, it has to be said, Scotland is a fantastically odd place.
We know it to be the probable bolt-hole of surviving bands of Knights Templars & the birth-place of Freemasonry some time in the 1500’s – two events which some researchers find in no way coincidental.I find Masonry a powerful & enigmatic phenomenon – a deliberately engineered mystery religion fashioned from gene-splicing medieval guilds with kabbalism, hermeticism & Renaissance mysticism in general.
Engineered by whom & for what purpose is a vast area of speculation beyond the scope of my modest forays into research.
the Holy Royal Arch
It was much later that Freemasonry was galvanised across the continent of Europe by the Scot Andrew Michael Ramsay , a graduate of both Glasgow & Edinburgh Universities who studied under the alchemist Isaac Newton.
Ramsey, member of the English Royal Society, Rosicrucian and Freemason, delivered a public address - his famous Oration of March 20, 1737 he inadvertently changed the course of Masonic History by inspiring the creation of the hauts grades or higher degrees which eventually evolved into the Scottish Rite.
chevalierramsay.beit is believed that the first Freemason in the North American continent was a Scot, John Skene, who travelled to America in around 1680.
Esoteric secrets, Scottish Freemasonry and the building of the American dreamIt is also noteworthy that the very ur-document of modern conspiracy theory emerged from the pen of John Robison (1739-1805) the author being Professor of Philosophy at Edinburgh University
We know that Weishaupt himself & his Order was :
under the protection of the Illuminati Dukes Karl August of Saxe-Weimar and Ernst II of Saxe-Gotha
bavarian-illuminati.infoAlthough originating in a small & now defunct Germanic principality The House of Saxe-Gotha name became important :
The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha came to the British Royal Family in 1840 with the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, son of Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. Queen Victoria herself remained a member of the House of Hanover.
King George V replaced the German-sounding title with that of Windsor during the First World War. The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha survived in other European monarchies, including the current Belgian Royal Family and the former monarchies of Portugal and Bulgaria.
www.royal.gov.ukThe British branch of the Illuminati is said by some to be embodied in Royal Arch masonry under the aegis of the Royal Family
Royal Arch Masonic temple – Bath
George Washington is pictured wearing the Royal Arch regalia of the Alexandria Lodge
The symbolism of the Holy Royal Arch is said to refer either to the ark of the covenant or to the keystone arch spanning the two pillars at the entrance of Solomon’s Temple - Boaz & Jachin.
in kabbalistic symbolism the two pillars represent opposing opposites , the left-hand pillar Boaz is black – the Pillar of Severity whilst the right-hand - Jachin – the Pillar of Mercy is white. Yin Yang , male female or the left-hand path of black occultism vs the white.
The occult revival of the late nineteenth century – which in almost every regard presaged the social experimentation of the 1960’s was spawned above all from 2 organisational mother-lodes – masonry & theosophy.
The Occult Nexus : Part OneI think it might be interesting to examine the possible basis for paedophilia as a belief system & relate this to the over-arching theme of this thread.
This leads one into the tenebrous arcana of occult practice & ritual – the most renowned exponent of which in the modern era being, ofcourse, Aleister Crowley.
In 1899 Crowley ( christened Edward & who adopted the Gaelic/Scottish name Aleister for propitious reasons ) a youthful prodigy freshly graduated from the Order of the Golden Dawn undertook the most ambitious magical working of his life to date – a 6 month endeavour to achieve the Knowledge & Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel ( HGA ) as instructed by the famous grimoire The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage.
A particular type of location & venue was required & Crowley alighted upon Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness
Paul Weston ( “Aleister Crowley and the Aeon of Horus” pp223-27 ) furnishes the following details
aleistercrowley666.co.ukOnce an initial HGA contact had been achieved the next somewhat controversial step required summoning a host of demons & getting them to swear allegiance……
The first group of demons Crowley would have had to invoke are known as the Four Superior Princes of Hell. Alongside Satan, Lucifer & Belial is Leviathan , a sea-monster of Old Testament vintage….
Events intervened however and…
Crowley did not complete the Abramelin procedure at Boleskine. Problems in the Golden Dawn led to him breaking off during the sequence of demon invocations to travel to Paris to assist Mathers. This action has been said to add even more danger to what was already a spiritually perilous endeavour. Standard magical practice demands the banishment of forces invoked at the conclusion of any rituals. Crowley himself was clear about this but there was no closing down before he left Boleskine.
Boleskine’s spiritual force was to be further charged after it became the Mecca of the new Thelemic religion – a “radiating power-point for the Aeon of Horus” .
Crowley was instructed as such by his own HGA in the third chapter of the Book of the Law & in turn Crowley , in
Magick without Tears orders his followers to :
Remember that your "East," your Kiblah, is Boleskine House….
The House was ofcourse famously later owned by Jimmy Page, who , in a
1975 interview said:
"The estate was owned by Aleister Crowley but there were two or three owners before Crowley moved into it. On the site of the house there was also once a church that burned to the ground with the congregation inside."
"Strange things have happened in that house which have nothing to do with Crowley. The bad vibes were already there."
Chaos magician Phil Hine informs us in :
Breeding Devils in Chaos: Homosexuality & the OccultWhen a leading member of the Theosophist movement was implicated in a sex-scandal involving pubescent boys, the resulting furore not only damaged the Theosophical movement as a whole, but also gave rise to the rumours that there existed groups of 'Black Magicians' who obtained occult power by psychically vampirizing young boys. Such rumours were given a substantial boost by Dion Fortune, who throughout the 'twenties & 'thirties alleged that there was a conspiracy of male occultists who used 'homosexual techniques' to build up what she called 'dark astral power'. She also blamed the decline of the Greek and Roman empires on those cultures' relaxed attitude to homosexuality. Although she never named any of these 'black adepts', it is clear that she was probably referring to C.W. Leadbeater, and perhaps, also Aleister Crowley.
An active and enthusiastic bisexual, (Crowley) had several male lovers, the most notable of which was the poet Victor Neuburg, his partner in a series of homosexual sex-magick operations known as The Paris Working, where Neuburg & Crowley performed a series of invocations using anal intercourse as the means of achieving gnosis. The results of this series of magical operations demonstrated to Crowley the power of sexual magick as a means of obtaining results, and he wrote magical papers on the value of VIIIº (Autosexual) IXº (Heterosexual) and XIº (Homosexual) magick which were incorporated into his reworking of the Ordo Templis Orientis magical Order.
Crowley also wrote a book of poems devoted to love between men, or more accurately, a man and a boy: Bagh-I-Muttar: The Scented Garden of Abdullah the Satirist of Shiraz, published in 1910. Whilst a worthy addition to any collection of Crowley's work, the Bagh-I-Muttar is not a book of practical instruction. Exponents of Crowley's work such as Kenneth Grant and the late Israel Regardie have sought to 'excuse' his use of what Kenneth Grant delicately calls 'the homosexual formula'.
But Crowley is by no means anomolous & his influence & connections profound & very relevant to the paedophilic milieu that concerns us.
A veteran OTO member was the Marxist homosexual rights campaigner Harry Hay
wikipedia tells us:
In the early 1980s, Hay joined other early gay rights activists protesting the exclusion of the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) from participation in LGBT social movements, most noticeably pride parades–arguably the most visible signs of LGBT culture–on the grounds that such exclusions constituted a betrayal by the gay community.[34] In 1983, at a New York University forum, sponsored by an on-campus gay organization, he remarked "[I]f the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world."[50] In 1986 Hay was confronted by police when he attempted to march in the Los Angeles pride parade, from which NAMBLA had been banned, with a sign reading "NAMBLA walks with me."
More famously Alfred McKinsey, the sex-researcher made a pilgrimage to Crowley’s Abbey of Thelema .
McKinsey & Kenneth Anger at Crowley’s Abbey of Thelema on Sicily
McKinsey continues to be cited by radical academics such as UC-Santa Cruz Professor Gayle Rubin
“boy lovers are so stigmatized that it is difficult to find defenders for their civil liberties, let alone erotic orientation. Consequently, the police have feasted on them. Local police, the FBI and watchdog postal inspectors have joined to build a huge apparatus whose sole aim is to wipe out the community of men who love underaged youth.”
Academics Defend PedophiliaIn a piece once used in a Cornell University course called “The Sexual Child,” Pat Califa writes, “Culturally induced schizophrenia allows parents to make sentimental speeches about the fleeting innocence of childhood and the happiness of years unbroken by carnal lust — and exhaust themselves policing the sex lives of their children. Children are celibate because their parents prevent them from playing with other little kids or adults.”
Public Sex, the tome where this essay resides, leans on Kinsey to grant science’s imprimatur to child-adult sex. Califa states, “Even though many prominent sex researchers have documented the existence of sexual capacity in children (for instance Kinsey verified the occurrence of orgasm in girls and boys at less than six months of age), our society is fanatically determined to deny it.”
Actually, Kinsey didn’t verify anything. Child molesters with whom he corresponded with supposedly “documented the existence of sexual capacity in children.” Kinsey took them at their word, and dressed up their findings as his, as “science.”
Aversion to child-adult sexual contacts, Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male maintained, is “culturally conditioned.” Pedophiles don’t harm children in most cases, the Indiana University professor argued, but the “hysteria” caused by police, parents, and others in authority does. According to Kinsey’s pedophiles, who became “trained observers” in his reports, signs of “orgasm” for children as young as infants included “violent cries,” “loss of color,” and an “abundance of tears.”

Before returning to Crowley there is some strange & redolent symbolism
Egyptian mysteries – the Luciferian EyeCertainly of occult significance is the god of magical knowledge
Thoth ,
said to have been the product of a homosexual union between Set and Horus.
It was said that he was the author of the spells in the "Book of the Dead" and "Book of Breathings" (which was also attributed to Isis) and he was given the grand title, the "Author of Every Work on Every Branch of Knowledge, Both Human and Divine". Egyptian mythology speaks of the "Book of Thoth" in which the god inscribed all of the secrets of the universe. Anyone who read it would become the most powerful sorcerer in the world, but would be cursed by their knowledge.
Thoth was a great magician who knew "all that is hidden under the heavenly vault...
We also see the “Luciferian “ doctrine espoused in The Book of the Dead in the tale of the scribe Ani who transforms from mortal man to god-like diety:
http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/bod.htmThe Book of the Dead (known to the ancient Egyptians as prt m hrw 'Coming Forth by Day')
( c.f. the Temple of Set’s Book of Coming Forth by Night)
Finally Ani is allowed to become like a god. Each part of his body becomes like that of a deity - his eyes like the eyes of Hathor, his face like the face of Ra, the cheeks of Isis, the backbone of Set, the belly of Sekhmet, buttocks of the Eye of Horus, the phallus of Osiris, the thighs of Nut and the feet of Ptah. Each part changes until Ani is as a god.
“The buttocks of Osiris Ani, triumphant, are the buttocks of the Eye of Horus.”
http://www.lashtal.com/nuke/PNphpBB2-pr ... t-30.phtmlSpermo-Gnosticism: Anal Intercourse and the XI° OTO Homosexual sex rituals formed the inner-secret of the OTO which emerged as a “fringe-Masonic” occult organisation in Germany & is now the main vehicle for Crowleyan magick.
The highest tantric / sexual grades of Crowley’s OTO “Spermo-Gnosticism” have been summarised as follows by
Peter Koenig* VII° Adoration of the phallus as Baphomet, both within and without
* VIII° Interaction with something outside the closed vessels of the vagina and the anus
* IX° Interaction inside the vagina with either the blood or the secretions of a woman when excited
* X° Impregnation + fertilisation of an egg + the act of creation or succession (e.g. election of the OHO)
* XI° Two-folded: i) Isolation in the anus [ per vas nefendum ] where it is considered unable to interact with anything at all ii) interaction with excrements (one of Crowley’s preferred ingredients) and small amounts of blood (when small wounds occur through the intercourse), mucus and of course the mucous membranes that lead directly into the blood supply, etc., etc.
Crowley allegedly wrote a longer piece on the XI° from which only an outline has survived.
He explained that “the Child of such a love [XI°] is a third person, a Holy Spirit, so to speak, partaking of both natures, yet boundless and impersonal because it is a bodiless creation of a wholly divine nature .”
In the XIth degree, the mostly homosexual degree, (40*) one identifies oneself with an ejaculating penis. The blood (or excrements) from anal intercourse attract the spirits/demons while the sperm keeps them alive. On 31 March 1946 Crowley noted down a dream in his diary: "A most frightful semi-dream (between two normal motions) of giving birth to a foetus per anum. It was a mass of blood & slime. The nastiest Qliphotic experience I can remember!"
Crowley saw no use in the vaginal fluids nor did he think that women are divine, therefore he could not imagine lesbian sexmagick.
Crowley – like the Egyptian mystery-priests he believed himself to have been in a past-life - makes exultant reference to the symbolism of the Eye of Horus
I am inclined to believe that the XIth degree is better than the IXth degree…Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!
