29 Jan 03 - 08:14 PM (#878062) Subject: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST The Bushes belong to Bohemian Club. The club has meeting places around the world, but one of the favorites is in northern California. There, once a year, a couple thousand men meet for the 'Cremation of Care' ceremony, in which a sacrifice is made to a 40-foot stone owl deity. You can see streaming video of the ceremony at the URL below: http://www.infowars.com/bg1.html The owl god is Moloch, an ancient Canaanite god. The following is a description of the Canaanite ceremony: ...The Canaanites actually constructed a huge copper likeness of the deity, complete with a complicated mechanical ability to raise an arm and open it's mouth. This 30 to 40 ft. tall idol had a large belly that would be filled with firewood and stoked until the belly glowed orange. The children to be sacrificed would be made so that they could not move. How they did this is a mystery, but one can imagine that a sharp blow to the head or a combination of readily available drugs could render a person listless.... http://www.dunmoloch.com/moloch.html And now you have the Bushes sending our children to that part of the world to end up "...bulldozed into mass graves and burned to save the lives of surviving troops, under an option being considered by the Pentagon..." http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/01/1565691.php The Bushes are apparently preparing a huge sacrifice to Moloch in the Middle East. |

And Carthage had been where the Moloch sacrifices was said to have taken place. Mind, a lot more children were killed by the Romans. |

29 Jan 03 - 10:12 PM (#878141) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST,Forum Lurker So Bush might be worshiping a god whose cult used to entail child sacrifice. Compare that to the worship of a god who frequently commanded his followers to commit mass genocide, often on tribes whose only crime was to inhabit the promised land and not worship him. Moloch and Jehovah both had some pretty nasty stuff to their names, 3000 YEARS AGO! I'd be a lot more convinced if you didn't constantly equate Bush being a bad person with Bush worshiping the wrong entity. |

Watch out for people whose religion is full of blood, vengeance and the justification of slaughter in "God's name". The Nazis were heavy dabblers in both regular conventional Christianity (for the common masses and the ordinary soldiers), mixed with Nordic mythology, and then some really weird occult stuff for the leaders in the innermost circles of power. It wouldn't surprise me too much if corporate America were doing something similar.

29 Jan 03 - 11:51 PM (#878196) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: Little Hawk Actually, "belief" is just an opinion (informed or not informed). I don't count too heavily on stuff I merely believe...it's stuff I KNOW that I count heavily on. The stuff I merely believe in is interesting, but it remains somewhat speculative, although some beliefs are admittedly a lot firmer than others. (For instance, I believe Hitler died in 1945. I don't know it for absolute certain, but I think the evidence that he did is pretty strong. I also believe Neil Armstrong was on the moon. Again, the evidence seems pretty convincing. I KNOW who I am and I KNOW I am alive and I KNOW life is valuable. I know I don't wish to kill anyone...although I'm not incapable of doing so. That's knowledge. I believe Bush is a misguided man on a disastrous course. That's opinion.) The stuff other people believe in is interesting too, partly cos it tells you a lot about them...partly because it can open up new possibilities which one may not have considered before at all. - LH |

30 Jan 03 - 02:42 AM (#878239) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST,Raedwulf Get real. It's a bonding ritual at best. They're not 'worshipping' a demon, just linking with each other. All societies; malignant or benevolent, secret, political, fraternal, religious, whatever; do this sort of thing, because it fulfills a basic human need for belonging to some sort of group (even loners, contradictory as that may sound). It doesn't mean that they actively 'believe' in, nor that they are trying to reconstruct the creed of, some god whose original worship passed out of the world several thousnad years ago. If (big "if", unbelievable "if", IMO) they really do want to see thousands of their own slaughtered, it'll be for pragmatic reasons, not from devotion to a dead god. How many silly little rituals & ceremonies are enacted right across the US every week in universities, colleges, sports teams & the gods know where else? This is just another one of those. As Sorcha says, you raised it, you *prove* it beyond any doubt. Anyone can stick a sinister voice-over on an otherwise innocent vid-clip. I bet if Dubya responded in kind, he could reveal all sorts of sinister agenda & intent on the part of the film-maker. Who you going to believe? When it comes down to it, what you 'want' to believe is anything & everything negative you hear about Bush & The Establishment. Whether it's true or not doesn't actually matter very much, I fear. I could theorize about what kind of thrills you get out of all this paranoia & trolling that you're doing, but this latest load of rubbish is lame, even for you... LH hits it almost smack on. Base your beliefs on facts wherever possible. Base your facts on your beliefs, & you'll wind up... well, where you already are. The trouble with all of your 'facts' is that they could be linked up & interpreted in thousands of different ways, most of them more or less inocent. But you like/want/need to believe in only the sinister & awful possibilities. Which is why most people will continue to regard you as rather detached from reality... |

30 Jan 03 - 02:14 PM (#878513) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: Amos There is no firm evidence of human sacrifice. There is evidence of a ritualistic ceremony which emulates human sacrifice. It is not dissimilar to the Sacrament in which people do some weird shit with blood and flesh, symbolized by Gallo and saltines. Now, if you want a phancy interpretation about the transcendance of fleshly concerns for the good of the Higher Group, I can write one for ya but I charge for the time. In advance. It is also not clear that these people are genuinely worshiping anything, except power itself. 'Course that whole point is a semantic minefield. SInce the translation of Moloch itself is closely related to secular leaders such as a king, or president, it is possible they are "celebrating" the accrual of power in secular affairs tot he detriment of their spiritual standards. By the way, the original concept of the Divine Trinity was anchored around Baal, whom Moloch allegedly serves. Baal is the Hebrew word used to describe the god Melq'art, sone of El and brother of Astarte, the mother-goddess in the ancient Phoenician hierarchy. As such, Baal was the sun god. The Ammonites, later than the Phenicians, added the overlay of Moloch and his sacrifices of children through fire. Originally, Meq'art was simply the divine representation of seasons, sunlight, and fire. Finally the traditional image of Moloch is not an owl, but a human/bull combination. The owl was symbolic of Lilith the night-witch, a stealer of children, but not renowned for burning them, as far as I know. A |

30 Jan 03 - 02:32 PM (#878524) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: NicoleC I want to thank our GUEST for some of the funniest stuff I've read this week. Ah, yes, the "InfoWars" site -- true tales ripped from the pages of the finest comic book journalism. The video looks like a poorly staged school play overlaid with curiously higher-resolution still pictures of "damning" evidence. Adobe Premier, anyone? The global elite? Nowhere in the video. The crowd noises? Damn, if it doesn't sound like "Applause #13" out of the Sound Ideas sound effects library, volumn #31. Just because a conspiracy web site says so doesn't mean it's true. If the New York Times busts this story open, I might consider it, because they have a vested interest in trying to protect their reputation. The only reputation this web site has is churning out a bunch of outlandish stories. Hey, they might even print a true one occassionally -- but the goal is to shock and astonish, not to present truth. "All indicators?" What, a fuzzy video that may or may not be fake and may or may not have anything to do with the people in question? Unsubstantiated allegations? There's nothing to refute or disprove, because no proof has been presented of any kind. Anyway, so what if our President worships an ancient diety? Hey, guess what, he DOES! Somehow mock sacrifices to a God seems no more sick to me than consuming the flesh and drinking the blood of a diety during Communion. Somehow sacrificing lives to Moloch seems no more sickening than sacrificing lives to the God Jehovah in a crusade against Islam, sacrificing lives to the God of Oil, the God of Capitalism or the God of Democracy. There's enough nasty crap going on in government without having to resort to bogeyman tales and the tired rehashing of variations on urban legands and conspiracy tales that have been around for centuries. |

30 Jan 03 - 03:52 PM (#878580) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: *daylia* GUEST every time a Catholic priest says Mass, he symbolically re-enacts the torture, execution, death, and public consumption of the body of his slain God! The same way as the Eastern Woodland nations of this continent would ritually torture, kill and then eat the bodies of the brave young warriors they had captured. It stunned and horrified the Jesuit missionaries first witnessing this among the Huron and Iroquois, not only that the young captives were decorated and treated with utmost respect and ceremony by their captors, but that they were truly ecstatic, singing joyously throughout the whole ordeal! To be courageous enough to be sacrificed was the ultimate honor, the ultimate end of 'godhood' for those young men. But what the Jesuits, (who labelled them savage brutes in sorry need of 'redemption') didn't understand is that the Mass they say every day is exactly the same ritual, carried out for the same purposes, in symbolic form. Ancient rituals enacting and evoking the power of the fundamental mystery of life - that life feeds on death, requires death - are universal throughout human history. Everything you eat was once alive, be it plant or animal. We must kill to eat, we must eat to live. Without death, there is no life. That is the 'horrific' nature of life, of Creation! The names and dates of the peoples and deities change, but the basic song remains the same. The God of Life, of Fertility and Wisdom is exactly the same as the God of War, of Death. The 'Lord of the Dance', of life and death, birth and rebirth, so to speak. So there is nothing new or strange here. I did watch part of the videos, but the quality is so poor I gave up unable to recognize any of the images with certainty. And I did read Alex Jones' story "Bohemian Grove". Its worthy of mention that even the author states he is not certain whether an effigy or a human being was burned at that alleged ritual! But even if the President of the US et al are engaged in rituals of this type, is this something which truly threatens me? Not in the least! ... unless I believe that the ritual has the power to affect me! Then my terror and hopelessness may very well get the best of me! The same way as only people who believe in the power of a voodoo hex to harm them can be victimized by such things. There's no 'dark magic' here except the dark magic of the human mind! So what's the best thing I can do right now? Get back to enjoying and celebrating and being productively creative in every moment of my truly miraculous existence right here and now? You betcha! daylia |

|
30 Jan 03 - 04:22 PM (#878597) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: NicoleC *sigh* Okay, but only for the sake of enlightening the clueless. "The place exists" Yes. Bohemian Grove is a private club in Sonoma County. It was found c. 1879 by a group of journalists who wanted to have a bash in the woods and do what we would call "networking" today. Membership is exclusive, but not very expensive as private clubs go. Membership happens to include many major political figures, most of whom are definately leaning toward the right. The clubs activities are very private and exclusive. The above can be said about many other private clubs, college fraternal organizations and societies. "and our 'president' engages in human-sacrifice / burning ceremonies there." GWBush the Lesser is a member, as were many past presidents. While many rumors abound about what goes on inside the club including human sacrifice, there is no proof. Testimonial accounts of "infiltrators" are notoriously inaccurate for any activity, let alone one for which so much rumor abounds, and particularly since they don't agree with each other. Videos looked faked. They are not neccessarily taken on site and can easily be digitally manipulated. Proof: NONE Human-sacrifice: Allegations that have not held up under investigation Burning ceremonies: Who cares? Having a bonfire is illegal? Better tell every college in the country to cancel their pep rallys! Presidential involvement: Unproven. He may or may not have been present at any of these purported ceremonies and many or may not have taken part. Worship of Moloch: also unproven and merely hypothesized. Originally, the attendees burned the mascot of Care to symbolize that they were going to put their cares aside and have fun. "And now he's getting ready to launch 'pre-emptive' fireballs at the rest of the world and burn our troops in the field. " Irrelevant, unless you happen to buy all of the above. "And how can the human sacrifice to Moloch be compared to the Christian sacrament for the purposes of this discussion?" Yes, yes, I can do that. From where I'm sitting, Christianity looks like a cult that glorifies the sacrifice of a "king" in order to save the land and people. Hardly original in religious mythos and very ancient in origin. If the rumors said Bohemian Grove took a big tofu body, roasted it, sliced it an ate it, no doubt everyone would be decrying "cannabalistic rituals." Is it pagan worship? I doubt it, but I don't care, because I don't equate "pagan" with bad anymore than I equate "Christian" with good. Freedom of religion cuts both ways. My guess at the truth: There are some legitimate concerns about Bohemian Grove. Big movers and shakers get together and get drunk and make deals that may affect the citizenry. Hence, the origin of the protests. Quite frankly, this can happen in a bar in Georgetown, so I am less worried about what politicians do than trying to get honest ones in office. Secrecy begets rumor, and gullible conspiracy theorists hate to be on the outside. If there's anything worse than looking in at a group you'll never belong to, it's not being allowed to look in! If it's secret, therefore it must be evil, right? Yeah, there's probably a bonfire. Yeah, they give some speeches. Yeah, I bet they get drunk and if some of 'em aren't doing drugs I'd be surprised. I'm guessing a lot of whoring and such goes on. Those good ol' boys get together and cut loose. Of course they don't want anyone to find out, as it doesn't fit their carefully crafted cleancut image. Uh huh. |

There was a semi-cute little bumper-sticker joke going around a few years ago..."Kill a Commie for Christ".

And do I HAVE to be tolerant of demon-worshippers like the Bushes? Can't I be just a LITTLE politically incorrect here and say I don't think burning babies is OK? The subject of anti-semitism came up earlier, well, can I be just a LITTLE politcally incorrect and say I think the Nazis put a couple of toes over the line when they murdered millions of Jews? Nah...I think Moloch-worshipping is a bit much. I'm against it. |

What Guest really is, is a spotty adolescent, child of a long absent, but abusive & alcoholic, father & a hooker. This could easily explain the desparate insecurity, that runs alongside the constant need to seek attention that has been perpetually displayed. Obviously brought up in such an appalling environment, it would also explain Guest's inability to understand the logical demolotion of his 'theories' that has been offered time & again by virtually every board member who has bothered to reply to him. And unsurprisingly, this poor, neglected child is also a complete social inadequate who can only interact through a keyboard, limiting his education, world view, & social skills even further, thus resulting in the regular abuse sprinkled ranting that he posts... Well, it's a good theory, isn't it? It certainly fits all of the available evidence doesn't it? The trouble is, Guest Nutball, (assuming you're still reading this & haven't gone off on a froth-at-the-mouth fruit loop) there are thousands of possible sets of circumstances that could produce the kind of person who would post the inane garbage that you do. I just made my theory up. Is it right? I very much doubt it, but I'll lay odds on that most people on this board would lend a thousand times more credence to *my* self-admittedly invented theory, than they would to any of those of yours that you so desparately need to believe in. As to "Modern man worshipping Moloch", no you didn't need to repeat it fourteen times before I could understand it. You believe it's absolutely true, I believe he's just participating (assuming he is actually there anyway, which seems doubtful) in some juvenile frat tradition. Shall I repeat that for your benefit fourteen times, or do you get the message first time? I see no 'evidence'. I see no 'proof'. Nobody here has seen any 'evidence' or 'proof'. Images can very, very easily be manipulated, or even faked in this day & age (clue: the machine you're using to talk to the rest of us is probably capable of doing the job...). Stop saying "the video shows...", because it shows f*** all! Prove that is genuine. Prove it has not been manipulated. Prove it has not been faked. If you manage to do that, you then have to prove that they really believe in Moloch & aren't just playing around, having a fun bonfire. For crying out loud, Guest, even the man you're using as evidence says 'mock sacrifice'. Mock Sacrifice. MOCK SACRIFICE. MOCK SACRIFICE!!! Am I getting through yet? Etcetera.

BTW if it makes anyone feel any better, Moloch is no 'demon'. According to Farrar's dictionary of 'The Gods of the World', Moloch is (was) a deliberate Hebrew misvocalization of the Phoenician 'm-l-k' ('malek' or 'melek') meaning simply 'king' or 'lord', The Hebrews turned this title into a derogatory word for a 'heathen' god - in this case, Baal-Hammon of Carthage, the ancient god of fertility, vegetation and wisdom, to whom sacrifices were allegedly made. But animal sacrifices were ritually offered by the Hebrews to Yahweh even up to Jesus' time, if not later. And it's odd that Yahweh Himself commanded Abraham to sacrifice his own son Isaac as a token of loyalty! Must have been the politically correct thing for these tribal gods to do at the time ... Apparently the ancient Hebrews did the same 'demonizing' with the word Sin. 'Sin' was the ancient Chaldean, Sumerian, Assyro-Babylonian God of the Moon, of wisdom, of measuring time. Known as "He whose deep heart no god may penetrate', he was the enemy of evil-doers, portrayed as a old man with a beard the color of lapis lazuli. Mount Sinai was named after him. But we all know what his name means today! So does that make him a 'demon' now? Hmmmmmm More importantly, does it really matter at all? daylia |

The first child born to George Herber Walker Bush and wife Barbara was George W. Bush (born July, 1946). This child *had* to be sacrificed to Moloch!

You are showing your ignorance here, obviously equating "pagan" with "devil worship" You, and many others like you, believe the bad press and misrepresentation that has been promoted by the Christian Church for centuries, designed to make people fear what they don't understand, thereby making them easy to control. I am a pagan. I am not a devil worshipper, I don't sacrifice babies or anything else. In fact my way of being involves having respect for all beings, and always working for the highest good in the world. Yes, we sometimes have rituals, and you, looking through your particular filter, could put any meaning you want on them, when in fact they are about honouring the earth, the elements, and the great goddess, and bringing about positive changes, for the good of all. I am not closed to the idea that some of what you have said may be true, but I can't prove it, and even if I could, there is nothing I can do about it, and nothing you can do about it either. That does not mean I am giving up. It means that I choose to live in the world with love for every living being, and looking at the REALLY big picture, love is the only thing that is ultimately going to make a difference in the world. This is what works for me. If your present way of being works for you, that is fine, but you aren't necessarily going to get agreement from folks like me who have a different way of being. If agreement is what you want, then I would suggest that you be more careful of the words you use, try not to confuse other people's assumptions and opinions with facts, only speak your truth, not somebody else's, and you might gain more respect from some of us here.

I was mortally offended when he pulled the religion card today while speaking about those who died on the Columbia space shuttle. How fucking tasteless. Did he even stop to think that not all of those people or their families believed in the same religious ideology that he does? Peter Jennings immediately commented upon it saying Bush was offering his "personal religious" views; well done, I say. |

If anyone feels threatened by a consoling passage from the Bible (or any other 'sacred text') read by their leader during a poignant moment of national grief, their own personal religious convictions - or lack of them - must be pretty insecure. Bone up, I say! According to stats posted here on Mudcat recently, over 75% of Americans do claim Christianity as their basic belief system.

Gosh imagine those young minds I'm polluting. Anyway, the reason I was offended by Bush's biblical quoting has nothing to do with Christianity itself. As the leader of a diverse nation, and as a world leader commenting upon an *international* (not just national: one of the astronauts was an Israeli and one was an immigrant from India) tragedy, I believe he ought to make more of an effort to avoid imbuing his words with his own PERSONAL religious views. (Mr. Jennings, a Canadaian, apparently agreed with me). It is no secret that Bush has taken every available opportunity to foist his Christian beliefs upon the US public, beginning with his inaugural address in which not just God but Jesus was invoked several times. This country has a clearly-stated separation of church and state. To assume every person in the throaes of grief turns to the Christian God or Jesus is narrow-minded and arrogant. Government should not be a platform for religion. Any religion. Your assessment of my own religious convictions is patently incorrect. |

Just because someone speaks their beliefs publicly doesn't mean they are "shoving them down anyone's throat". I don't hold to any particular religious belief system, yet I find none of them threatening and all of them quite interesting! So I say again, the only way I'd felt 'threatened' by someone else's beliefs, is if my own personal convictions (and self-esteem) were pretty flimsy.

I find public protestations of belief to be completely tolerable in individuals speaking as private individuals, however thick-headed. When Bush professes them from his bully pulpit as the Furless Leider of the Western World, it is another matter. I consider it an invasive and presumptuous abuse of position. It is not a matter of feeling threatened by the belliefs involved at all -- I have long since outgrown my fear of fairy tales. The notion that Christianity is threatening as a belief set is ridiculous, or humorous at best. But what can be a threat is mob psychology and mass mindless reactions. Making religous views into a part of political commentary from the top opens the door to some serious manipulation, an art of which Mister Bush is a perfervid practitioner. A |

It is very clear when an individual speaks as a person, individual citizen, and when he takes on the role of Government Representative. Mister Tush was speaking in his role as President. As the Official Moron of the United States, he could have been more sensitive to this issue, but he subscribes to arrogance as apreferred modus operandi, I think. Unfortunately he does not understand what the difference between Church and State implies, nor does he know or care why it is an honored principle over centuries. Quoting from Shakespeare of any poet in any language who writes outside the framework and vocabulary of a religion would havebeen far preferable in my mind. There are some things that are common to all humanity, and Christianity is NOT one of them. A sense of the infinite may be. The sting of death, which you mention above, is certainly.

02 Feb 03 - 11:58 AM (#880643) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: Peg Daylia: If it was not clear the first time, I am not threatened one whit by Christianity. I was raised as a Catholic and know my bible and find most of the Christians I'm personally aquainted with to be perfectly acceptable human beings. And no, I do not need to "work on myself" to increase my self-esteem in order to not feel threatened by Christianity. I am well-versed in comparative religion (yes, I find them all interesting as well and have done a fair amount of research and writing on religious history) and my self-esteem is actually quite healthy. What I DO feel threatened by is the very opposite of what you are suggesting: that somehow the president should be able to make narrow-minded, highly-personal and divisive religious comments at a time when his priority (as a world leader called upon to offer words of condolence and comfort) should be inclusion, and tolerance. This is not about "freedom of speech" or even freedom of religion. By making it clear he considers himself the leader of a Christian nation, Mr. Bush creates an atmosphere in which religion, and religious beliefs, are part of the public theatre. When, again, government cannot work, nor can democracy prevail, unless a state's ruling body remains secularly detached from such matters. That's why we have a clear separation of church and state. The effort to create a pervasive atmosphere of Christian beliefs and the so-called "family values" associated with them makes people such as myself (not to mention other non-Christians) vulnerable to persecution on the grounds of religious belief. Don't believe me? Look up what happened to the military pagans who sought to exercise their "freedom of speech" at Fort Hood. By the way, statistics show that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States. |

02 Feb 03 - 01:01 PM (#880676) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: *daylia* "This is not about "freedom of speech" or even freedom of religion." Peg, I mean no offence, but that is exactly what I was talking about. "That's why we have a clear separation of church and state." You do? I don't see any evidence that this is much more than wishful thinking. "By making it clear he considers himself the leader of a Christian nation, Mr. Bush creates an atmosphere in which religion, and religious beliefs, are part of the public theatre." Religion is very much a part of the 'public theatre', as it always has been throughout human history. And according to these statistics Mr. Bush is indeed the leader of a 'Christian nation'! According to stats from the 2002 census at the above link - 86.8% of Americans view themselves as 'religious'. 70% of Americans think it is 'extremely important' that their President be 'strongly religious'. 82% of Americans identified themselves as Christian in 2002, compared with 89% in 1949. 50% of Americans are very uncomfortable when presidential candidates express how religious they are. (aside - so how can 70% of you want a 'strongly religious' President, then? Pretty confusing!) Anyway, that sounds like Bush leads quite the 'Christian' nation to me, whether the words are popular or not. And truthfully, I have noticed that if there's one kind of Christian more 'dangerous' to the religious freedom of their neighbours than the 'fundamentalist' kind, it's the disgruntled 'ex-Christian' types! That's why I don't affiliate myself with any particular group. daylia |

02 Feb 03 - 05:34 PM (#880863) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST How easily deceived you folks are. GWBush isn't a Christian. Never has been. The official version is that he had his 'irresponsible years', then he was 'saved' by no less than Billy Graham during a stroll by the ocean. Hogwash. If you look at what he DOES and not what he says, he's no Christian. In everything he says, he is directing you 180 degrees away from what he really means. Always. I don't especially mind GW putting on the act, though, because the Constititution talks about our rights being 'God-given'. The framers did that so no human could take them away, as Bush/Clinton want to do. They would actually have to defy God in order to strike down our Constitution, and that SHOULD be a bit too much for the American public to bear. So let GW rave on about his religiousness...it'll just make it harder for him to suspend our 'God-given' rights when he tries. |

02 Feb 03 - 11:10 PM (#881058) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: Peg Daylia; if you're seeking to offer back-handed insults, the particular ones you've chosen ain't gonna work on me. I am not a "disgruntled ex-Christian type". I am not "dangerous" to the cause of religious freedom and in fact work every day of my life to help further it and very publicly too, I might add. Your oh-so-superior refusal to affiliate yourself with any particular group is noted. We call that sort of remark "passive-aggressive" or "wishy-washy" where I come from, or, at least, we wouldn't seek to judge others' religious views when we can't seem to commit to one ourselves. When you're willing to put yourself on the line for your beliefs get back to me. The statistics you cite seem manipulated at best, fraudulent at worst. There is simply no way in hell (you'll pardon the expression) that 82% of Americans are Christians...makes you wonder just who those pollsters were asking! Kind of like all these polls these days that say a vast majority of "Americans" are in favor of going to war with Iraq! They sure as heck have not asked me or any of my friends, co-workers or colleagues... I live in Boston, a fairly international city, and am well aware that Christianity does NOT represent anything approaching an 82% majority. Perhaps those pollsters were only asking people in Arkansas? Polls are only as effective as their representative samples and the questions they're asking, not to mention the processing of their data...I don't tend to trust them. It offends me that polls are used to gauge public opinion--because most polls are biased, and many people seem to think they need to be part of some majority. Look around enough and you'll find some poll to refute every other poll. I don't think they're an effective way of measuring much of anything, from voter preferences to religous preferences. You yourself have pointed out the discrepancy between people who want a religious president and yet are uncomfortable with his expression of such a sentiment. That right there should tell you such polls contain spurious information. But then, I tend to think polls are for the gullible and most people don't read them very closely. As for the separation of church and state, it's right there in our Constitution. And it's been upheld by the Supreme Court a number of times. |

02 Feb 03 - 11:39 PM (#881070) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST Peg... Bush and Ashcroft killed separation of chuch and state with faith-based initiatives. 501C3...isn't that the clause that hands out federal money to churches if they meet certain federal criteria? Churches are now tied to the government if they take the money, and most of them are taking it. A shrewd plan for the takeover of religion by the government. Lurker... That 'turn the other cheek' thing...the fire-breathing Christians who encircle me say that only applies to your 'brethren'. You only turn the other cheek to like-thinking believers...give them a pass when the spirit of Jesus has momentarily abandoned them. They say you HAVE to think that way, otherwise your ministry would not survive. Jesus meant for his message to be spread, so it wouldn't make any sense to passively turn your cheek until all memory of you and your religion is relegated to the dustbin of history. No, the folks around here think you should pray with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, and woe unto any non-brethren who smites your cheek. This is David Koresh country...Davidians and all that. They were a mite extreme, but their neighbors aren't far behind them. And although I'm not a Christian myself, I feel a LOT safer being surrounded by these 'gun nuts' and 'right wing wackos'. If it came to a ground-assault, the U.N. forces would have to fight their way through a lot of irate and heavily-armed believers before they got to me, and I'd end up fighting right there beside them because we DO share a common belief in the Constitution. Anyway, there ARE alternative ways of interpretting that 'turn the other cheek' maxim. |

03 Feb 03 - 01:19 AM (#881094) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: Little Hawk I don't think the expression "turn the other cheek" was necessarily intended by Jesus to have been taken literally. The way I have heard it explained by wiser souls than myself is: You turn the other cheek in this fashion...by sending out the opposite thought-form. That is...if a person is sending you hate, you don't react with hate in return, you react with love. If a person is sending greed, you don't buy into that psychology, you buy into generosity. If a person is into discouragement, you don't buy into that either...you encourage. This does not necessarily mean that you fail to defend yourself when someone physically attacks you. Not in the least. It means you meet unhealthy psychology with healthy psychology. Most of the things Jesus said contained deeper levels of meaning than the bare literal interpretation, in my opinion. This is also the case in virtually all holy books and sacred texts in all of the major religions. Many religious passages advise people to "pray constantly". That's not a literal statement either, but it means to maintain a constantly constructive frame of mind in every way possible...which again, is to think in a healthy fashion. It was much easier for me to do that in Trinidad than it is here. Much easier. It's damned hard to do it here. - LH |

03 Feb 03 - 08:57 AM (#881259) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: *daylia* Wow Peg, me thinks thou dost protest too much! As to feeling 'superior' to you or anyone else, sorry I don't buy it. Just because I have different opinions, that doesn't make them superior or inferior. Just different - and apt to ruffle some feathers I guess. Sorry. As to being 'wishy-washy', although I've studied many traditions there's just none big enough to hold me it seems. Every tradition has it's 'little box' of limited beliefs members are expected to accept and live by, and I tend to feel claustrophobic. And all religions tend to be somewhat intolerant toward their neighbours, some worse than others. I can't stand that either. That's why I took exception to your slamming your President for using a quote from Isaiah, even though I've no use for GWBush. And I have found that disgruntled 'ex-Christian' types tend to have the most intolerant, angry and hate-filled attitudes toward any religious group, particularly Christian groups. I didn't intend it as a personal slight, just an general observation - but hey, if the shoe fits, wear it my dear! Those statistics are from your government's 2002 census, from Bill Moyer's website, someone whose opinions I've always respected since I encountered them studying Joseph Campbell's exceptional work. If I didn't think they were credible, I wouldn't have bothered posting them. Believe them or not, as you choose. They do indicate without a doubt that your President leads a VERY 'Christian' nation (even though Jesus Himself would probably be appalled at the association). And a nation who wants him to be 'strongly religious', yet feels 'very uncomfortable' if he expresses that religiousity. No wonder the guy can't get anything right - you people just don't know WHAT you want it seems. And regarding the 'seperation of Church and State', it looks very nice on paper. It's a great way to delude and distract your best thinkers too. But it's just not reality. Check out your money, your oath of allegiance. "IN GOD WE TRUST". Plain and simple. Masonic emblems all over your money! Wake up and smell the coffee - or not. Really doesn't matter too much in the long run I guess. We all pay the piper. Peace - daylia |

(BTW I've seen the Bushes on similiar lists recently but I didn't bookmark the pages...) "What U.S. Presidents have been Freemasons? George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford "Harry S. Truman was also Grand Master of his home state, Missouri. Lyndon Johnson was an Entered Apprentice but never progressed beyond that degree. Ronald Reagan is not a craft Mason. He was made an honorary 33rd degree Mason by the Southern Jurisdiction of the AASR and an honorary member of the Imperial Council of the Shrine .... Bill Clinton is not a Mason, though he was involved in DeMolay for a time. Many other leaders in government have been Masons. 'They have included fourteen Presidents and eighteen Vice Presidents of the United States; a majority of the Justices of the United States Supreme Court, of the Governors of States, of the members of the Senate, and a large percentage of the Congressmen. Five Chief Justices of the United States were Masons and two were Grand Masons. The five were Oliver Ellsworth, John Marshall, William Howard Taft, Frederick M. Vinson, and Earl Warren (also Grand Master of Masons in California.' --- Henry C. Clausen --(Source: "History of Freemasonry)." And here's some information about the Masonic (occult?) symbols on American currency. I'm presenting this ONLY as food for thought, not as the bonafide truth by any means. But I do find it very intriguing, even though I have no direct experience with them and therefore cannot have complete trust in these sources. My hunch? That it's correct!

You can't get "truth" from looking at only one source, and a clearly-flawed one at that. Your refusal to explain your "knowledge" of the Masons because you think I won't "believe" you because I know a faulty poll when I see one is kind of defeatist isn't it? And convenient. I am quite tolerant of open-minded, compassionate Christians. Your implication that I will "get what's coming to me" karmically is based on your belief that I am intolerant of all Christians. I'm not, and I already said that once. Your tendency to paint all things in shades of black and white is not going to get you very far. You have also said more than once you're done posting to this thread but you keep lobbing those parting shots. Lurker; I'd agree that the Masons do have many different permutations and it is possible some of them maintain more of the original order's occult rites than others. But the vast majority of them are not too far removed from the Elks or the Moose. |

The 'all seeing eye' is part of the new DARPA Pentagon computer database...'all information on every American citizen gathered together in one place...to fight terrorism' The CBS television logo is an eye The NBC television logo is a peacock...bird with eyes on the ends of it's feathers Daley Plaza...in Dallas, where Kennedy was shot, is in the shape of a pyramid with no capstone...like the one on the back of the dollar. And where the capstone should be is the area under the overpass where the fatal shot almost certainly came from. The place where Dan Rather was reporting from. Some say he was placed there as an 'irrefutible witness' in case anyone should hear or see the shooter. If that happened, a trained, professional observer...a reporter...could swear HE never heard or saw anything. And subsequently, after the shooting, Rather rises to be the voice behind the CBS 'eye'. I think it was Jim Lehrer in the Texas School Book Depository that day, too...the place where Oswald was supposed to have shot from. Again, a reporter who could have sworn he saw certain things, if called upon to do so. So the Masons and Illuminati have a BIG symbolic, if not practical, impact on American life. |

04 Feb 03 - 04:18 PM (#882551) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: *daylia* Check out the links above Buck, if you're interested. My grandfather belonged to a Lodge in Winnipeg, and he was just a 'regular guy' too. A decorated veteran of WW1, and a linotype operator for the Winnipeg Press. Like Forum Lurker said, there are many different Rites and Orders and Lodges within Freemasonry, with different agendas and practices. Apparently, not all are into the occult or political/economic manipulation, but some certainly are. And certainly the group I found myself caught up with were! (Not the same one as my grandfather's!) If they are not into designing and controlling money, then why are their symbols and slogans still plastered all over American currency and the American constitution, for just one example? That evidence is right in your wallet every day of your life! And why all the bally-hoo about 300 Masons in the highest positions of gov't and business in the Ukraine, according to 'The Pravda' at GUEST's link? There's likely to be at least SOME fire behind all that smoke! Anyway, I really don't know all the facts, and I am interested in finding credible information about it. daylia |

04 Feb 03 - 04:37 PM (#882567) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: BuckMulligan First, that Pravda link did not unequivocally claim that the "Order of St. Stanislaus" or whatever it was is in fact a Masonic organization. Indeed, it went so far as to say "even if it isn't its charter is so much like the masons...." Second, the article didn't claim these guys were doing anything wrong; only that a whole buncha folks were getting their knickers knotted about the fact that they belonged to a Masonic-like organization. Third, I'm well aware of the multiplicity of rites & chapters and so on of Freemasonry. The Shriners, for example, ooh, what a badass bunch they are, providing free medical care to kids. Fourth, the Masons have been getting flak for about 300 years, partly as a result of their claimed (sometimes by them, sometimes by others) association with the Knights Templar, (q.v.) You can search the web and find all KINDS of weird-ass stuff about the Masons - do a google on "baphomet" and you'll end up crawling under the bed. The point is, none of this bullshit has ever been backed up; books have been written, sure, but books have been written about other "bad" groups too (see "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion") and there are folks like you who are willing to lend it credulity simply because you think there must be SOMETHING to it or else why are all these peopl making so much noise about it? The Masons are a harmless, service oriented fraternal order, unaffiliated with any conspiracies to rule the world, believe me. I'd be delighted to see any "credible" (ooh, there's that nasty word again), empirical evidence to the contrary. |

I think it's pretty credible, and I've come across that information in many volumes/sites about ancient occult symbols and geometry. I'll try to find the 'mathematics' site I originally found the information on last fall, and post it here if anyone's interested. It was the most 'neutral' information I'd found to date. If it weren't for direct personal experience with the occult practices of ONE (and only one) of these Orders, I wouldn't waste my time trying to sort out any of the allegations - in fact I wouldn't have the slightest interest in Freemasonry at all. But it happened. Hence my interest. And believe me, it had nothing to do with the Shriners! And I'm not trying to 'lend credibility' to anything! I'm just looking for the truth.

I can't watch that garbage...knowing the terrorists are up there on stage setting themselves up as our saviors. But I heard one speaker talked about the astronauts being 'sacrificed', and GW or one of them talked about there being only 'one religion'. GW ran for Prez as a 'communitarian', by the way, which in old dictionaries is the definition of communist. And Gorbachev said in '87 the Soviet Union would only APPEAR to disband. And the President of China calls the Fortune 500 'the supreme flower of communism'. Man...this religo/economic consolidation and cleansing coming up is gonna be a bitch. I mean, when the 'conservative Christian' candidate TELLS the Christians who voted for him that he's a communist, that doesn't speak well for America's ability to think its way out of bad situations. Interesting thing: shuttle blew up 9:00AM eastern WTC 9:00AM eastern Murrah bldg. in OK city 9:00AM eastern Don't some claim the 666 mark of the beast stuff has been skewed over the years...that it should be 999?

04 Feb 03 - 07:28 PM (#882696) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: *daylia* GUEST, 'hate' is not a wise choice if you value your life and health. At the risk of boring you with something you've heard before, I've always liked this saying - "Hate does more damage to the vessel in which it's stored than the object upon which it's poured". Whatever is going on, the tyrants and murderers always fail in the end. Takes time, and sometimes it looks hopeless, but history shows that they do all eventually reap what they sow. As everyone does. That's why I try to avoid hating anyone, no matter how 'hateable' they are! The answers will come when the time is right. As long as people keep seeking them. And choose to act upon them. I hope!! daylia |

04 Feb 03 - 07:31 PM (#882699) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: BuckMulligan daylia - don't get me wrong, I never said there weren't Masonic connections to things like the symbology, etc. It is indeed true that a great many of the "Founding Fathers" were Freemasons, as have been many, many other folks in politics, here and abroad. My point is simply, "so what?" Their membership in a fraternal organization doesn't prove - or even imply - anything. If you could come up with the name of this "order" you had a bad experience with, it might help. The Masons don't use the word much, BTW. They have "Rites" and Chapters, etc. The "Order" terminology is very much a carryover of the medieval/Crusader/Church days, when unemployed knights (after the Crusades pooped out and there was no more loot to be had) formed "Orders" and pretended they were like Arthur's knights (they weren't, not even close; even Malory's depiction of Arthur's "knights" wasn't close to any probable reality). They got rich, the church got mad and decided it needed their money so trumped up all sorts of charges of Satanism and demonism (they musta had a GUEST), and tried them and confiscated their goods. The last Grand Master of the Knights Templar was burned in the 14th century I think. Modern Masons have been connected with these guys (again by the RCC) in order to justify banning the organizations as diluting loyalty to church & pope. I'm doubtful that the "order" you had a run-in with was affiliated with the AF&AM. |

So I do thank you for this fine award which bears his distinguished name. Like the Hudson Institute, General Doolittle helped to change the world.

US State Dept Document There was some discussion of Bohemian Grove on this thread, so I'll add this here. The linked document shows that Kruschev's right-hand man visited Bohemian Grove at the height of the Cold War. The international banking elite created communism as a foe of capitalism. You can't sell arms and foment wars without enemies, so communism was created as an enemy. Now 'terrorism' is the enemy of the day. There are no enemies but those the bankers create.

25 Jul 03 - 10:33 PM (#990869) Subject: RE: BS: Sacrifice to Moloch? From: GUEST Neo-con Schwarzenegger at Bohemian Grove BEHIND THE COUNT: All eyes will be on the California secretary of state's office today for the big recall count -- but the real plays are going well behind the scenes. The biggest question, of course, is whether Arnold Schwarzenegger -- who just got back from a European promo tour -- will make this the biggest story of the year by jumping into the fray. And now that the clock is ticking, the time for playing cute is rapidly coming to an end. "Everything is set up to go if he says 'yes,' but it's do-it-or-get-off-the- pot time," admitted one source close to the Terminator. "My expectation is that he's talking it over with his wife right now." One of the keys in all this will be the final round of words between Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan -- who is being urged to run by more liberal Republicans. "The bottom line," our source told us, "is if Arnold goes, Dick won't. If Arnold doesn't do it, then it's highly likely Dick will -- it's between the two of them to hash out." From what we've hear, the Republican hierarchy -- especially those close to former Gov. Pete Wilson -- would favor Schwarzenegger. At least that's the word that came out of the Bohemian Grove this past weekend, where a number of state and national GOPers, including presidential adviser Karl Rove, happened to have gathered at a club getaway. None of this would be good news for Gov. Gray Davis -- who hopes his opponents will be limited to conservatives like Bill Simon or San Diego-area Rep. Darrell Issa. "There's no question Riordan would be the biggest problem of them all," said one Davis operative. "He's the most liberal, he has a strong name ID in Southern California and you can't pin him as a right-winger -- which is the whole key to the Davis strategy." |
