‘Human sacrifice’ staged at CERN's Shiva Statue

Tell it to Einstein.

Too many assumptions.

You should get that I can see the poverty line from here. I'm never more than one piece of disastrous luck away from seeing it in the other direction. Hell, if I was on the roof I could see Detroit from here, which is about as impoverished as it gets in this country.

That said, I've lived my whole life here on that line and I decided a long time ago that there are actually a great many things worth risking the crossing of that line for. Aesthetic truth is chief among them, regardless of the exact form it takes: social truth, scientific truth or pure aesthetic truth which is only ever approximated in art. I have made that choice, dealt with the consequences, including homelessness, and not only would I do it again, I feel its very likely that I will.

Here's something to consider:

Often, usually in fact, when reporting on the most advanced space-exploration missions, there will be a talking head positioned at JPL. That would be the still-relevant JPL co-founded by a practicing Crowleyite magician.

[OP ED]

He was heavily responsible for the plot to fake the existence of space.

Also perhaps the only witch to ever have been Mccarthyismed out of a job. At least since Carpocrates' time.

[Burnt Hill]

^ okay, but how'd that work out for him?
*on edit- OP ED is fast.

[OP ED]

Yes, they eventually drove him out of a job for being not militaristic enough. He was an extremely vocal critic of American stupidity in its various guises.

(a good portion of Thelemites, among others, believe he may have been assassinated for his views)

[Burnt Hill]

"[Parsons] had witnessed the blinding overnight successes achieved by the government-by-terror totalitarianism of Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. He had the foresight to see that [the United States of] America, once armed with the new powers of total destruction and surveillance that were sure to follow the swelling flood of new technologies, had the potential to become even more repressive unless its founding principles of individual liberty were religiously preserved and its leaders held accountable to them.

Two of the keys to redressing the balance were the freedom of women and an end to the state control of individual sexual expression. He knew that these potent forces, embodied as they are in a majority of the world's population, had the power, once unleashed, to change the world."

William Breeze (Hymenaeus Beta), current Frater Superior of Ordo Templi Orientis[181]

[OP ED]

Breeze is a tard, and a crap sorcerer, but he's not wrong.

[Burnt Hill]

Is he any good as an author, or musician?
I know nothing much of him, just found his quote supported my pov on Parsons.

A little refresher from our absent host:

In 1918 in New York City, occultist and British spy Aleister Crowley conducted a ritual he called the "Amalantrah Working" intended to create a "magick portal" - a dimensional rift - through which certain intelligences would be invited to cross and manifest themselves in the world. Crowley claimed that one being he called "Lam" did cross, and he drew a portrait. The image bears striking resemblance to the "Greys" of later UFO mythology.

In 1946 in New Mexico, Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard conducted a ritual they called the "Babalon [sic] Working," to reopen the portal. Parsons was a rocket scientist, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and "true father of US space exploration," according to Werner von Braun. (He was to die in 1952 in a mysterious explosion.) Hubbard, the future founder of the Church of Scientology, was an officer of US Naval Intelligence. Both were adepts of the Ordo Templi Orientis, which was originally an "Illumined" high Masonic order, and led at the time by Crowley.

Ardane Stewart picks up the story:

The gist of it was that Parsons desired to take the spirit of Babylon, the “Whore of Babylon,” and invest it in a human being. The idea was to create a child in the spiritual world, and then call down the spiritual baby and direct it into a human womb. When born, this child would incarnate the forces of Babylon, which they considered to be a good thing.

...the rites were duly performed as written from January 4th to 15th of that year. It is not known if a spiritual child was enwombed from them. What is known is that the Magickal Portal first created by Crowley - and which originally let Lam into the earth-world - was reestablished with considerable intensity by Parsons and Hubbard. From the diaries of the participants, it is also clear that they were not as adept as Crowley in the closings of portals. What they seemed to have accomplished was the drastic enlargement and ripping of an existing Magickal Portal and the subsequent non-closure of it. Perhaps the rip they created was not possible to close. In any event, the modern UFO era began exactly a year and a half later on June 24th, 1947, with Kenneth Arnold's sighting over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State.

Stewart quotes Kenneth Grant, current head of the OTO, as saying “Lam is a Great Old One whose archetype is recognizable in accounts of UFO occupants.” Grant has organized an OTO "Cult of Lam," and a number of members claim remarkable success in their invocation of the "trans-mundane" being, or perhaps type of being. One contactee, Michael Bertiaux, regards Lam as the “subterranean burgeoning of Lucifer-Gnosis,” which represents the "appropriate path of human spiritual growth at this time."

None of this would merit much attention from me, apart from these four facts:

1. The UFO phenomenon remains unexplained.
2. The modern phenomenon exploded at the time and place of the "Babalon Working."
3. The phenomenon is the subject of an abiding cover up.
4. US military-intelligence has demonstrated a deep and ongoing interest in the occult and cult organizations, including the OTO.

For instance, Alex Constantine writes that a "number of intelligence agents with occult interests already had their hooks into the OTO. One of them was Gerald Yorke, a veteran British intelligence agent working...'with American intelligence in an attempt to absorb the OTO into the idealogical warfare network of the political right.'" And it may be worth noting that Retired Colonel and Satanist, Michael Aquino (about whom we've written before), writes that his Temple of Set "recognizes and enjoys cordial relations with the US OTO."

In Messengers of Deception, Vallee writes:

The social process caused by the belief in the [UFO] phenomenon takes the form of new sects, movements, and "contact" cults. Close observation of these cults shows that they are monitored and in some cases deliberately manipulated by occult groups, government organizations, and extremist political movements.... The group of people who will first manage to harness the fear of cosmic forces and the emotions surrounding UFO contact to a political purpose will be able to exert incredible spiritual blackmail.

He adds

I believe there is a very real UFO problem. I have also come to believe that it is being manipulated for political ends. And the data suggest that the manipulators may be human beings with a plan for social control. Such plans have been made before, and have succeeded. History shows that having a cosmic mythology as part of such a plan is not always necessary. But it certainly helps.

Since it's at last becoming respectable to compare Bush's America to Hitler's Germany, perhaps we should also remember the occult history of the Nazis, and wonder whether that fascination is another legacy adopted by the National Security State. Because as much as George Bush quotes, or rather misquotes, the Bible, he governs more as a follower of Crowley than of Christ. From Crowley's Book of the Law: "We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world."

I find the notion that contemporary physics is engaged in black magic to be quite reasonable in light of history that, I should motherfucking imagine, anyone here at RI is familiar with.

Granted, there's been a thick gloss of Hippie Magick LOL™ smeared across all this occulted networking because that led to book contracts for about a decade straight. But the fringes -- not the lunatic fringes, mind, the fruitful and funded, leading edge fringes -- have always been so mixed up in W.O.O. material, not to mention cults and intelligence agency 5GW maneuvers, shit. I'd be more skeptical of someone trying to make the case that CERN is all just normal folks with normal jobs; routine research stuff.

Part of that is, of course, the sheer strangeness of high-functioning autists such as populate their campus. The rest, though, is a very real and ongoing interaction with The Other Side. It wants to touch us, it wants to say hello.

[Burnt Hill]

^ Definitely agree with this. Still think the video is of no significance.
Worth saying again - that's not how you sacrifice someone.
^ Also imagine there would be some white magic involved at a place like CERN.

[MacCruiskeen]

Spoken like an expert again, again. So: How do you sacrifice someone? (And how do you know? Are you speaking from experience?)

Probably OT somewhat, but as well here as anywhere: this guy Eric Wargo has an interesting blog:
