OLHP COMPLAINT - UPHELD
|
||
|
|
||
|
The OLHP's complaint against the Sunday News has been upheld by the
|
||
|
Press Council. The article in question linked Satanism generally and the
|
||
|
OLHP specifically (together with the Wairarapa based OSD) with child porn,
|
||
|
paedophilia and ritual abuse.
|
||
|
So blatant were the lies that I can only assume the Sunday News
|
||
|
were sure that Satanists would run for cover rather than pursue the matter.
|
||
|
The SN solicitor's response to the Press Council was pathetic -
|
||
|
laughable, in fact. Much of the solicitor's letter comprised assertions
|
||
|
that this editor is anti-christian and a Satanist, and gets rather
|
||
|
moralistic in citing some of my antichristian comments.
|
||
|
It was pointed out in my response that I never denied being a
|
||
|
Satanist.
|
||
|
An incredible attempt was made to claim that the article "does not
|
||
|
state that the OLHP is responsible for child abuse or child pornography",
|
||
|
and my complaint therefore has "no merit"!!! My reply was to ask what one is
|
||
|
to make of the opening sentences of the article stating that, "a shocking
|
||
|
satanic mail order business [sic] with links to child porn is flourishing
|
||
|
in NZ'?"
|
||
|
It was pointed out that the SN sources cited as 'proof' that the
|
||
|
article was "carefully researched" were either unreliable or misquoted. In
|
||
|
reply to the SN contention that the article was published in "the public
|
||
|
interest", I asked "does muck-raking sensationalism comprising a mixture of
|
||
|
outright lies, innuendo, guilt by association and misquotes constitute
|
||
|
'careful research published in the public interest'?"
|
||
|
The Press Council decision was that "the article had expressly
|
||
|
linked the OLHP with what was said to be a recently exposed child porn ring
|
||
|
operating in Christchurch without providing any information to support the
|
||
|
allegation. Accordingly the complaint was upheld."
|
||
|
I hope the Nazarenes enjoyed this surprise Easter present. The
|
||
|
correspondence involved in the dispute is published in a revised edition of
|
||
|
Debunking the Witch-hunters, $10.00 from Realist Publications.

SUNDAY NEWS, APRIL 19, 1992
|
||
|
|
||
|
Press Council upholds complaint
|
||
|
|
||
|
The New Zealand Press Council has upheld a complaint by Mr K.R.
|
||
|
Bolton of Petone against the Sunday News.
|
||
|
The complaint arose from an article published on 3 November 1991
|
||
|
headed "Satanism linked to child porn."
|
||
|
The article claimed a "shocking satanic mail order business with
|
||
|
links to child pornography is flourishing in New Zealand."
|
||
|
The mail order business offered a correspondence course in satanism
|
||
|
and was being run from a box number in Petone. The course was run by a
|
||
|
group called the Order of the Left Hand Path (OLHP).
|
||
|
Mr Bolton, the organiser of "magister" of the OLHP, said in
|
||
|
complaint to the council that his organisation and himself had been linked,
|
||
|
by clear implication with paedophiles operating in Christchurch.
|
||
|
"Any such implication I consider to be a vile lie."
|
||
|
In her reply, on behalf of the Sunday News, Wellington lawyer
|
||
|
Sandra Moran said it should be noted no reference was made in the article
|
||
|
to any named person regarding the OLHP.
|
||
|
The article had been carefully researched and was published in the
|
||
|
public interest.
|
||
|
The Press Council found that the article had expressly linked the
|
||
|
OLHP with what was said to be a recently exposed child porn ring in
|
||
|
Christchurch without providing any information to support the allegation.
|
||
|
Accordingly the complaint was upheld.

Uncle Setnakt Says
|
||
|
|
||
|
Uncle Setnakt would like you to consider how you are already
|
||
|
practicing divinity in your own life. The Right Hand Path says your life is
|
||
|
ruled by a mechanical law, called karma or the will of god. We feel that
|
||
|
your life is ruled by a mechanical law called the path of least resistance
|
||
|
and that law can be overcome by conscious begins. This work helps you
|
||
|
detect how you have already overcome this law and how much there still is
|
||
|
to discover and integrate into your mind.
|
||
|
1. Analyze an intentional change you've made. Take something you
|
||
|
did with awareness and desire (as opposed to some adaptation that
|
||
|
circumstances forced you to make). Say for example a decision to move to a
|
||
|
new home, because the new home offered you opportunities for privacy. See
|
||
|
how you have prospered by obtaining your goals in a rational manner. Now
|
||
|
analyze the same event looking for supra-rational benefits you have gained
|
||
|
-- good things (and opportunities for growth) that have come into your life
|
||
|
directly from your willed decision, but which in no way could be predicted
|
||
|
as logically following. Analyze enough of your life and you will discover
|
||
|
that when you have put these things into motion with your will you have
|
||
|
exceeded mechanical chance. Concentrate these feelings of power in your
|
||
|
life -- link the incidents one to another in your mind.
|
||
|
2. Analyze a moment of pure creativity. Take something you've made
|
||
|
for no utilitarian reason. Doodles drawn while on the phone are excellent.
|
||
|
Why did you enjoy making this pattern? Why is there happiness at creation?
|
||
|
The joy of creation makes little if any biological sense, but makes a great
|
||
|
deal of sense if we discover our being through our creativity. This is
|
||
|
directly opposed to the, "No graven images." commandment. Become aware of
|
||
|
how important it is to be a Creator.
|
||
|
3. Make note of those things that become self-sustaining. Note when
|
||
|
any suggestion you've made becomes policy seemingly against the odds. I'm
|
||
|
not talking about something you brought about in a normal work-a-day
|
||
|
fashion, but those ideas of your that came into being on their own. For
|
||
|
example you casually suggest a change in the way your cleaners handle their
|
||
|
merchandise tracking. Although they tell you that they can't do what you
|
||
|
say; next time you return your policy is in place. Each of these incidents
|
||
|
shows that you have powers beyond the mechanical processes of the world.
|
||
|
Note each and come to see yourself as a creator of movement in the world.
|
||
|
4. Pray to yourSelf. Look through your life to find some prayers
|
||
|
that were answered by the Right Hand Path god of your choice. Maybe one day
|
||
|
you prayed for your car to start or for health to return or to get luck on
|
||
|
a date. As well as you possibly can remember the words and practices. Then
|
||
|
when you are in the same situation repeat that prayer -- except entirely to
|
||
|
yourSelf, making references to no god but you. Continue this practice until
|
||
|
you have results. Come to see yourself as the cause for all seeming miracles
|
||
|
in your life. It is you, the self created god, not some divinely appointed
|
||
|
destiny.
|
||
|
5. Encourage the worship of yourself by others. Now don't be a prig
|
||
|
about it like IHVH -- don't insist on no gods but me -- etc. Certainly
|
||
|
don't be a jealous god, you can help others in their self deification. Be
|
||
|
sure you have a nice birthday party, that others have chance to praise you
|
||
|
when you do well etc. Then when you've created a little friend and fan
|
||
|
club, begin to practice the simple Lesser Black Magic of telling the story
|
||
|
that people who do good things for you have good things happen to them (and
|
||
|
the converse -- eventually these people's unconscious Greater Black Magic
|
||
|
will make this a condition of the world). Continue this practice at least
|
||
|
until you can discover that some good has come your way because some one
|
||
|
you do not know (directly) has been told you're a worthy individual by some
|
||
|
one else you do not know directly. This will show that your presence is
|
||
|
equal in force to any mankind's created gods -- that faith in you is strong
|
||
|
to create a missionary movement. Of course this should be done secretly and
|
||
|
subtly. If you outwardly proclaim your godhood crucifixion can result.
|
||
|
Christianity may be understood as one self deified individual letting his
|
||
|
practices get out of hand. Jesus is an example of Black Magician without
|
||
|
ethics.
|
||
|
6. Practice your godhood among your followers. When one of your
|
||
|
fans is in trouble, magically use the Power of your Name to help him. Not
|
||
|
out of pity or compassion but to Understand the nature of the name of a
|
||
|
divine being. Once again keep this practice to yourself. Do this until you
|
||
|
have results. This illustrates the power of the Word of Moses IHVH in which
|
||
|
a fan club or political/cultural organization can create laws beyond the
|
||
|
natural, an identity, and a bargaining position with the unknown by use of
|
||
|
a Name. This not only produces an objective change in the world as an
|
||
|
example of your own divinity, it will begin to illustrate the power of the
|
||
|
word to open new potentials of power within you. This practice is highly
|
||
|
recommended for someone who wishes to use words to explore himSelf/herSelf
|
||
|
through such means as the Enochian Aethyrs. Be sure you have result here
|
||
|
first.
|
||
|
7. Mythologize your birth in the manner of Christ, Buddha,
|
||
|
Zoroaster etc. Learn to see your physical birth as the manifestation of the
|
||
|
divine. You may wish to use a number of different masks in this. See
|
||
|
yourself as a tribal hero returned, a god incarnated, or a visitor from
|
||
|
another world. Play with these mythologies -- remembering to discard them
|
||
|
once they've awakened in you the true knowledge that you are beyond the
|
||
|
circumstances of flesh and history. Seek out the facts of your birth to
|
||
|
feed your mythology with facts, create a mental list of all the historical
|
||
|
things that had to happen in order for you to be born.; For example in
|
||
|
Uncle Setnakt's case the Irish potato famine and the temporary existence of
|
||
|
an ice bridge. These stories will allow you to work upon yourSelf and the
|
||
|
world from the same basis as the aforementioned magi, but it will keep you
|
||
|
from losing yourSelf to any mythology not of your creation (or recreation).
|
||
|
8. Create other beings. One of the signs of godhood is the ability
|
||
|
to create other beings. Look through traditional magic systems concerning
|
||
|
such creations -- whether the Judaic Golems or the Tibetan tulpa -- create
|
||
|
an entity to accomplish a certain task and then return itself to you and
|
||
|
offer itself up as sacrifice to your godhead. Watch without otherwise
|
||
|
interfering in this task is accomplished and when it is await the return of
|
||
|
the created one. You'll discover that you can create self willed entities
|
||
|
and eventually you may wish to create and not absorb them. This will prove
|
||
|
that you have all the powers of a god, and will direct your creations
|
||
|
toward the cause of human freedom rather than any short term purposes. And
|
||
|
even then you will birth a few monsters.
|
||
|
9. After you've become aware of your godhood announce it to all the
|
||
|
worlds within and without. Perform a ritual after your fashion in which the
|
||
|
message is, "I abrogate all rituals except those I create. There is no
|
||
|
magic done in any galaxy save that it empowers me -- this is the law of the
|
||
|
only true god! I am the measure of beauty, there is no beauty except
|
||
|
through me. I am the Truth, I am the Way, I am the Life. There are no gods
|
||
|
before me, there is no power equal to my desire. I have always existed and
|
||
|
by the power of my Name I am come to full awareness. All the universe is
|
||
|
destroyed and re-created bearing the mark of what is newly of me. Naught
|
||
|
exists save to teach me, to please me, and to give me a cutting edge to my
|
||
|
own Becoming. The dead gods of mankind arise to do me homage and I blow
|
||
|
them away like dust when their play called history has offered all it can
|
||
|
to me."
|
||
|
Uncle Setnakt hopes you have a pleasant day.

Now the Dark Lord's age has come

Autonomy not anarchy

is where the Black Arts lead;

Laws of strength will bond the state

not the Liberal's curse.

Unlimited Potential

the tree that bears the fruit;

Science and the Arts

the measure of the proof.

The Path not trodden by the herd

The piteous cries of conquered foes

Victory proceeds from ruthlessness

BEYOND THE SATANIC HOAX
|
||
|
|
||
|
by Priest Larry Evans
|
||
|
Of The Temple of Set
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Satanic scare of the 80's is all but over now in the United
|
||
|
States. We've seen it's profit motive diminished as it's credibility has
|
||
|
been attacked by even those with no Satanic interests. I imagine "the
|
||
|
scare" will run it's course in the rest of the world then it will, except
|
||
|
for a few zealots, simply die out.
|
||
|
It seems to me anyway, that we Satanists really showed them what we
|
||
|
were made of. Now that the hysteria is starting to die off one naturally
|
||
|
wonders "what's next?"
|
||
|
As for me I plan on going back to the basic of what Satanism is
|
||
|
really all about. To me this means the study and practice of Black Magic.
|
||
|
As we evolve as Satanic Magicians we find ourselves shedding old
|
||
|
skins, so to speak, and going on to newer maturity. My personal file on
|
||
|
the, what might be better called, the Christian hoax of the 80's, is
|
||
|
literally hundreds of pages in length. It consumed countless hours of my
|
||
|
time at it, the hoax that is, managed to simply distract me from what it is
|
||
|
that I really needed to be doing and the doing I'm talking about is the
|
||
|
application of Black Magic.
|
||
|
I would challenge each of my Satanic brothers be they Setian or not
|
||
|
to move forward in the area of Becoming. We are not a bunch of wrong doers.
|
||
|
That is established. We are talented and charged with special abilities not
|
||
|
commonly found in conventional society. Let us move forward to act on these
|
||
|
abilities so that we may position ourselves to influence the planet as is
|
||
|
appropriate.
|
||
|
It may be necessary for the Satanic religion to develop itself so
|
||
|
we can exert the kind of influence that will prevent another "Witch Hunt"
|
||
|
be said hunt against us or any other decent human endeavor.
|
||
|
I think one side benefit to all the Christian hoax of the 80's is
|
||
|
that is helped me hone my skills and strengthen my perceptive abilities in
|
||
|
areas that heretofore I had taken for granted. For this new edge I am
|
||
|
grateful.
|
||
|
I've looked at other religious movements and some of the things
|
||
|
they've done. I'm not suggesting we need copy them but consider this: Many
|
||
|
religions have their own Universities. Some even have their own Hospitals.
|
||
|
If, for example, you were the president of lets say the biggest
|
||
|
business in your town and you'd graduated lets say the God Only Knows
|
||
|
University, wouldn't you know that the God Only Knows University graduates
|
||
|
the finest job candidates found anywhere? You went there so it has to be
|
||
|
good right?
|
||
|
Well, lets ask ourselves, isn't this true to a large extent? Of
|
||
|
course it is. Is it fair? Why not? Would you want to work back to back with
|
||
|
someone that was brought up in a system that taught values contrary to your
|
||
|
own? I certainly don't wish for this.
|
||
|
As time marches forward I think it will become imperative for
|
||
|
Satanists to become the captains of business, industry, and probably
|
||
|
government.
|
||
|
I constantly ask myself what if. What if the world was mostly Right
|
||
|
Hand Path people controlled by Left Hand Path managers and leaders?
|
||
|
I also wonder how this application of Greater Magic would affect
|
||
|
the balance of things? Would things be better and if so for whom? Can I
|
||
|
develop the skills to shift back and forth between RHP workers and LHP
|
||
|
associates? I have no doubt they will be capable of telling that something
|
||
|
is different about me but, I wonder, can I hone my skills to the point that
|
||
|
this is really not detectable to most humans?
|
||
|
Would such a thing be legal? I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts on
|
||
|
this subject. Feel free to write to me at: Post Office Box 153354, Irving,

DARK CIRCLE COLLECTIVE
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Dark Circle was formed in 1984. It is an Australian group
|
||
|
concerned with the development of Self-knowledge. DC draws from a broad
|
||
|
range of esoteric traditions, including witchcraft, shamanism, paganism,
|
||
|
voudoun, chaos magick, runology, Thelema...
|
||
|
DC productions are of a highly professional quality & include a
|
||
|
computer network, telephone hotline, and the hosting of national pagan
|
||
|
festivities. Publications include Dark Cycle, and OZ Pagan. The current
|
||
|
issue of OZ Pagan carries a debate among pagans as to whether Satanists
|
||
|
should be accepted as fellow pagans.
|
||
|
DC organiser Tim Hartridge argues that they should, & came out
|
||
|
publicly in defence of Satanists at the height of the recent hysteria in
|
||
|
Australia, giving numerous media interviews and making representations to
|
||
|
people of influence.
|
||
|
DC is non-dogmatic, but does have the following principles:
|
||
|
Recognition of an eternal metaphysical force behind nature; this force has
|
||
|
dark and light aspects, both equally valid; These aspects manifest in a
|
||
|
variety of deities, demons, etc.; Nature is the outer form of this force,
|
||
|
thus all matter is sacred; Evil is ignorance, and has no metaphysical
|
||
|
reality; the aim of existence is to achieve Self-knowledge; Self-knowledge
|
||
|
can be achieved through a wide variety of spiritualities; ritual initiation
|
||
|
is simply the acknowledgment of personal experience.

ORDER OF THE BLACK JACKAL/EMBASSY OF LUCIFER
|
||
|
|
||
|
This Order was recently formed by Chad Miller of British Columbia,
|
||
|
in his home-town of 2000 citizens and 6 christian churches. Not
|
||
|
surprisingly, the Order has created something of a storm, with a record 40
|
||
|
citizens attending a Council meeting, concerned that Miller had been given
|
||
|
a license to run a mail order occult business.
|
||
|
To a local newspaper Miller described Satanism as "basically
|
||
|
atheist, since we do not worship a god. Instead we recognize ourselves as
|
||
|
the creator of gods. We do not appeal to a higher power but instead to our
|
||
|
Higher Self."
|
||
|
Among numerous comments by locals, Const. Reid of the RCMP stated:
|
||
|
"the people of Stewart can be assured that any report of Satanism will be
|
||
|
investigated appropriately." ...As though Satanism is illegal. Once again
|
||
|
we see the spectacle of a bigoted policeman interfering in philosophical
|
||
|
and metaphysical questions!

|
||
|
The Tradition of the Sinister Way
|
||
|
|
||
|
The essence of genuine Satanism can be simple stated: it is a way
|
||
|
to inner development, the goal of which is a new individual. This way
|
||
|
involves three essential stages and these exemplify the spirit of that way
|
||
|
and the individuals who follow it.
|
||
|
The first is direct experience, the second is direct practice and
|
||
|
the third self-development. The first involves direct experience of both the
|
||
|
external 'world' and the inner (or psychic) 'world' through striving to
|
||
|
achieve certain goals both practical and magickal. The second involves
|
||
|
using 'practical' (or causal) and 'magickal' (or acausal) energies to
|
||
|
manipulate others, situations and energies in a practical way - producing
|
||
|
changes in accord with certain goals. The third involves beginning the
|
||
|
process again but starting from the new level of self-understanding and
|
||
|
ability attained - persuing different (and probably more complex) goals.
|
||
|
A Satanist is an individual explorer - following in the footsteps
|
||
|
of others (and perhaps using their guide books) but always seeking further
|
||
|
horizons, daring to defy convention (in ideas as well as in morals and
|
||
|
attitude) yet part of an evolutionary succession enabling what is
|
||
|
experienced to be understood and become beneficial. For this reason, a
|
||
|
genuine Satanist understands tradition as important and necessary - the
|
||
|
culmination of centuries of insight and experience, a useful guide which
|
||
|
enables further progress and exploration: a starting point for that inner
|
||
|
and outer journey which is begun by Initiation, as well as a map of the way
|
||
|
chosen and followed.
|
||
|
This tradition is not sacrosanct - but it does possess a validity
|
||
|
until the individual reaches the stage where the unique genius within each
|
||
|
individual has been brought to fruition enabling the creation (from
|
||
|
experience and self-insight) of a unique way and fulfilling of a unique
|
||
|
Destiny. In magickal terms, this is the stage of Internal Adept, where the
|
||
|
unique Destiny is made known (dis-covered) and where the individual
|
||
|
Initiate has developed the talents necessary to fulfil it by a following of
|
||
|
the previous stages - a stage reached from between three to five years
|
||
|
after Initiation.
|
||
|
The tradition (explicated in the 'seven-fold sinister way')
|
||
|
provides only a beginning - it is for the individual to go beyond it,
|
||
|
toward the dangers and rewards of the Abyss. It is, however, necessary -
|
||
|
since it is, in one sense, a 'short-cut': enabling self-development to be
|
||
|
achieved far quicker than would be the case without it as well as fully
|
||
|
enabling the explication of individual potential. This does not mean that
|
||
|
following it is easy - the path may be shorter, but it is just as dangerous
|
||
|
(and in some places, more so). It is a mountain path to the summit rather
|
||
|
than a meandering valley path, and enables the horizon, the other mountains
|
||
|
waiting to be conquered, to be seen - as they cannot be seen from the
|
||
|
wooded valleys below.
|
||
|
But each new Initiate must walk this path - alone. And for each it
|
||
|
is a new experience, a process of direct learning and a personal
|
||
|
achievement, for only a very few have ever venture that way before and
|
||
|
stood atop the summit that is 'Internal Adept' to see in the distance the
|
||
|
still higher peaks that wait beyond the Abyss.
|
||
|
What is important is following that path - and going beyond it,
|
||
|
toward the Abyss - actually undertaking the journey and experiencing in
|
||
|
real time what is encountered and seen: of being taken to the very limits
|
||
|
of your endurance and abilities. No one can do this for you - just as the
|
||
|
path does not lead to some pleasant grove where you sit at the feet of some
|
||
|
'Master' listening to their past experiences and fables. It does not
|
||
|
involve you staying comfortably 'at home' with the security of your known
|
||
|
world and friends and ideas, just as it is not a 'mental' journey done in
|
||
|
comfortable surroundings and with no physical effort or danger. It is
|
||
|
practical, and direct - and involves physical and psychic hardship, and
|
||
|
while you may be a little soft when you start, you will not be so when you
|
||
|
succeed, just as if you believe you are tough enough now, you will be
|
||
|
rudely awakened,
|
||

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHRISTIAN CHILD ABUSE
|
||
|
- THE NAZARENES REACT -
|
||
|
|
||
|
18 February 1992 Apostolic Church
|
||
|
Hamilton
|
||
|
Dear Sir/Madam
|
||
|
|
||
|
I refer to your leaflet "Christian Child Abuse" - which appeared without
|
||
|
our permission on our church noticeboard.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I share your concern and abhorrence of the rise of sexual abuse in our
|
||
|
society and the incidence of it within the wider church. A proportion of
|
||
|
the counselling we do is helping people deal with and walk free from abuse
|
||
|
in their past. I do however, have some real concerns about the contents of
|
||
|
your leaflet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your opening comment that Christianity encourages perversion such as child
|
||
|
molestation shows either a distinct knowledge of Christianity and the Bible
|
||
|
or a deliberate misrepresentation of the Christian Faith. The Bible
|
||
|
encourages committed monogamous marriages with full healthy sexual
|
||
|
relations based on a commitment to serve one another.
|
||
|
The Bible talks of celibacy as a special gifting some have from God in
|
||
|
order o be more free to serve Him (e.g. freedom of movement, time,
|
||
|
availability etc). Jesus attitude towards children was that "the kingdom of
|
||
|
God belongs to such as these" (Mark 10: 13-16) and warns of the perils of
|
||
|
"offending one of these little ones".
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your proposal that Christianity represses "normal" physical drives as
|
||
|
"sins" is mysterious to me - since you go on to quote Christ's discussion
|
||
|
of men lusting after women - I can only take from that, that you consider
|
||
|
looking at a woman lustfully (looking at her as a "sex object") is a
|
||
|
"normal" physical drive to be encouraged?!?
|
||
|
In our pornography soaked society, I would say His words are rather timely.
|
||
|
It would be more accurate I propose that child molestation is a result of
|
||
|
people's addiction to things such as pornography. The Bible teaches self
|
||
|
control, learning how to positively channel our normal physical drives,
|
||
|
living a life of love to one another.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You then make a large logic leap of saying that perversion is the result of
|
||
|
not giving vent to "normal" physical desires - that's pretty shaky ground.
|
||
|
Perversion is perversion and not necessarily tied into normal physical
|
||
|
drives. Most child abusers/molesters for example have been abused or
|
||
|
molested themselves as children.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You also totally misquote Paul by taking one small part of his discussion
|
||
|
in 1 Corinthians 7. You neglect to quote the next verse, where he
|
||
|
encourages people to marry and enter into normal sexual relations as a
|
||
|
safeguard against the prevalent immorality. Once again I must ask you: are
|
||
|
you being intentionally misleading in order to prove a point, or have you
|
||
|
just now done your reading?
|
||
|
|
||
|
I find your leaflet misleading, untidy and inaccurate. If you do share our
|
||
|
deep concern over the issue of sexual abuse in our society (yes and among
|
||
|
Christians), you could I think find more effective ways of helping to deal
|
||
|
with it. If however, your leaflet is a thinly veiled attack on Christianity
|
||
|
or one particular church - then please be honest about it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your contact address is Realist Publications, I encourage you to get real
|
||
|
about this issue.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have been abused yourself and are writing/publishing out of hurt, I
|
||
|
encourage you to let the real Christ of the Bible heal you and set you
|
||
|
free.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note I write as one concerned about this issue. I have prayed and
|
||
|
cried with numbers of people who have been victims of abuse and we have
|
||
|
seen Christ set them free.

|
2 March 1992
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dear Mr Wilson
|
||
|
In reply to your letter of 18 February, I apologise for the
|
||
|
posting of the christian child abuse leaflet on your church noticeboard
|
||
|
without permission.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I shall instruct my supporters of the Campaign Against Christian
|
||
|
Child abuse to seek such permission before undertaking such activities in
|
||
|
future. Given christianity's history of upholding tolerance and freedom of
|
||
|
thought, I am in no doubt that all christian ministers will readily agree
|
||
|
to allow such a display of alternative viewpoints for the enlightenment of
|
||
|
their congregations. "Know the truth, and the truth shall set you free",
|
||
|
right?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Hamilton in particular is noted as a have of christian tolerance
|
||
|
and open-mindedness, as shown by the wonderful reception given to Horus and
|
||
|
Sobek last year by your church and others.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As to your comments on the leaflet:
|
||
|
|
||
|
You accuse me of taking quotes out of context in order to prove my
|
||
|
point. If we consider Paul further, we find his ideal was that we would
|
||
|
have "all me were even as I myself" - celibate. His recommendation of
|
||
|
marriage was for those who couldn't repress their natural drives. What an
|
||
|
ennobling outlook on marriage : "Oh well, screw if you just, but get
|
||
|
married first so you don't burn in hell".
|
||
|
|
||
|
No, I am not defending pornography, nor do I regard women as "sex
|
||
|
objects". The quote from Matt. 5:28 is not as simple as you suggest. It is
|
||
|
a reflection of the Judaeo-christian historical and cultural repression of
|
||
|
sensual aesthetics, as epitomized by the Greek culture. To quote Nietzsche:
|
||
|
"In christianity... the body is despised, hygiene repudiated as sensuality;
|
||
|
the Church even resists cleanliness (the first measure taken by the
|
||
|
christians after the expulsion of the Moors was the closure of the public
|
||
|
baths of which Cordova alone possessed 270)..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a christian to accuse anyone of anti-woman attitudes is the
|
||
|
height of hypocrisy. Ref. Gen 3:16, I Cor. 11:9, Eph. 5:22-23, I Tim.
|
||
|
2:11-12.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your claim that christianity positively channels normal physical
|
||
|
drives is not supported by christian history. Among the principle christian
|
||
|
personalities we find that Matthew of Avignon was awakened one morning by a
|
||
|
young woman opening his bedroom door. He was so scared of surrendering to
|
||
|
his carnal thoughts, he immediately stripped and whipped her for placing
|
||
|
him in moral jeopardy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
St. Jerome, a desert hermit, fantasised about young woman until
|
||
|
"his mind was aflame with desire, and lust seared my flesh. Helplessly, I
|
||
|
lay at the feet of christ struggling to subdue my rebellious body". Such
|
||
|
psychotic actions are the fairly predictable outcome of attempting to
|
||
|
follow Jesus' absurd dictum against 'mental adultery'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is ironic that on the day you wrote your letter, "Truth" came
|
||
|
out with a feature on an Assembly of God pastor convicted of 12 charges of
|
||
|
child sexual abuse. The police had dropped other charges, presumably
|
||
|
because of the pressure the Church had applied to parents. It is his church
|
||
|
pressure and the attempts to hide the guilty among the clergy which, among
|
||
|
other reasons, make christian child abuse particularly alarming.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sexual abuse is not the only form of christian child abuse. In 1990
|
||
|
a diabetic girl died after her parents denied her insulin, on the advice
|
||
|
that their pastor had been informed by god she had been cured.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are numerous examples of children being beaten ruthlessly by
|
||
|
zealous parents or christian cults, quoting scripture. (Prov. 23:13-14).
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was even a recent case in the USA of a woman plucking an eye
|
||
|
from a boy, as a literal interpretation of Matt. 5:29.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All this is fully documented, mainly by court proceedings. The fact
|
||
|
that you couldn't part with $5.00 to obtain a copy of the booklet Christian
|
||
|
child Abuse - The Reality, indicates you're more concerned with the defence
|
||
|
of your dogma, than with a concern for the young victims of a sick creed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In regard to the leaflet being a "thinly veiled" attack on
|
||
|
christianity and some kind of dishonesty on my part, I can't really see how
|
||
|
much more clear I can be. I don't seem anything "veiled", thinly or
|
||
|
otherwise.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By the way, no, I was not myself a victim of child abuse.
|
||
|
Fortunately, I did not waste too much of my youth around the sickly
|
||
|
influence of the "men of god".

LEX TALIONIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
Lex Talionis - The Law of Retribution.
|
||
|
Now that the socio-economic system is under stress and the
|
||
|
Government has been forced to take steps to reduce the Welfare State, a
|
||
|
certain type has been unleashed.
|
||
|
This type, seen throughout history, comes to the surface in
|
||
|
conditions of societal breakdown. In now way related to the plundering
|
||
|
warrior, the freebooting highwayman or pirate, this is the untermensch -
|
||
|
the Underman - the chandala outcaste written of in terms of foreboding by
|
||
|
Nietzsche and Lothrop Stoddard (The Revolt Against Civilization - The
|
||
|
Menace of the Under-Man, London 1922). It finds its political expression in
|
||
|
Bolshevism and other revolts of the sewer (in Rome it was christianity).
|
||
|
The Chandala is an atavism which cannot feel at ease amidst culture. In
|
||
|
aristocratic societies this out-case was kept in check by force; today it
|
||
|
has been bribed to a relatively passive state by welfare cheques, with the
|
||
|
paradox that the State has actually subsidized it to breed.
|
||
|
Now that the State purse is empty, that the social diversion of
|
||
|
full employment has also gone, the chandala emerge to prey on those who are
|
||
|
likely to be the easiest mark, such as the elderly. For the criminality of
|
||
|
the type is in no way daring or heroic.
|
||
|
Lex Talionis is the defence mechanism of healthy society since time
|
||
|
immemorial. It was the "eye for an eye" of the Mosaic code and of pagan
|
||
|
justice.
|
||
|
Today we have liberalism and christianity to preserve the
|
||
|
untermensch; a travesty of the law of our forefathers which drove such to
|
||
|
extinction. Despite the Fundamentalists, christian concepts of justice are
|
||
|
NOT based on the Mosaic code of Israelite tribalism, they are a product of
|
||
|
Israelite decadence, which sought to reverse the Israelite code, just as it
|
||
|
reversed the code of the pagan Romans, Norse, et al. The difference is that
|
||
|
Israel has never accepted its false Messiah; he was instead foisted onto
|
||
|
our pagan ancestors. Whatever else one may think of the State of Israel, it
|
||
|
is the only one that continues to execute Lex Talionis both domestically
|
||
|
and in its foreign relations: an enemy of Israel is not safe anywhere in
|
||
|
the world.
|
||
|
The attitude of liberalism and christianity is the same: "resist
|
||
|
not evil", "judge not", "turn the other cheek", "he who is without
|
||
|
sin....". Our society, sapped by the weakness, cannot adequately respond to
|
||
|
the danger within. The social organism is too sickly to excrete its waste
|
||
|
products.
|
||
|
It is time to return to the two laws of our forefathers: Eugenics,
|
||
|
of which we have spoken in the past, and Lex Talionis, lest everything of
|
||
|
value (and everyone) be engulfed by a sea of inferiority. Hear now the Law:
|
||
|
"Hate for hate and ruth for ruth,
|
||
|
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.
|
||
|
Scorn for scorn and smite for smite,
|
||
|
Love for love and guile for guile.
|
||
|
War for war and woe for woe,
|
||
|
Blood for blood and blow for blow."

||

We first saw The Watcher yesterday, and find it quite impressive.
|
||
|
I'm surprised I haven't come across you before; you have something to say,
|
||
|
and say it well. It was wonderful to see you share my deep and abiding
|
||
|
hatred of xtianity. Long ago, I was a xtian minister, so as you may
|
||
|
imagine, I know these twisted people more than most. I saw in your journal
|
||
|
you have had difficulties with the media also. I was 'exposed' in '89 by
|
||
|
Hinch, soon followed up by woman's mags and the papers on the 'polygamous
|
||
|
witch', 'Satanic monster', blah, blah, blah. We are bringing out our own
|
||
|
journal soon, so your effort has encouraged us. Greeting to all our

I very much enjoyed reading The Watcher. Your principles and ideals
|
||
|
seem to be very practical. There are more branches of Satanism than there
|
||
|
are in any other religions. From what I have seen, though, your form seems
|
||
|
to be one of the most sound! - C Miller, Embassy of Lucifer, Canada.

Thankyou for the Satanic Tarot. I find it a very useful device and
|
||
|
refreshingly free of Qabbalistic hoc-pocus. As a tool for pathworking, I
|
||
|
have found it to be much easier than Runes, etc. The book Christian Child
|
||
|
Abuse is a frighteningly informative document. Those christian scum must
|
||
|
have nowhere to hide; they and their bosses must be held to account.

I have completed the Neophyte and Adept courses... At first it was

very hard to give up my old habits, but now I have stopped the use of

alcohol, and started the health programme, and I have never felt this

|
good!...

I have been involved in witchcraft for several years and am a High

which is but a tame shadow of what it once was. - T.P. New Zealand

Notes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Watcher is brought to you in a slightly altered form on the
|
||
|
computer. It lacks the pictures and title art of the original and has been
|
||
|
slightly restructured with respect
|
||
|
As from this computer issue, the advertisements now appear in one
|
||
|
section at the end of the actual articles, rather than as fillers
|
||
|
throughout.
