The Widow’s Son & the Police: A Freemasonic Absurdity in Southern California

The Widow’s Son & the Police: A Freemasonic Absurdity in Southern California by Mad Doctor Abdullah

I had been shut in the SLC Masonic Temple for over twenty-four hours with no food or water. I had wandered in the day before to do some research when the lights suddenly went out and the doors inexplicably locked. For a few moments I stood frozen with dread. It was one of those rare moments when fate and luck intersect just long enough to provide a real jolt of the absurd.

For awhile I made do with the situation. I had a torch after all. I found a staff and some bizarre dorje or scepter and tried to pry the door but it was too powerful. About halfway through the night, panic set in. weak with hunger, the fear set in and I became despondent. It was too terrible to understand.

The sun came up. As it did, I knew they’d throw the book at me. These Masons have their own brand of justice. Like a strange hybrid of biblical retribution and old west saloon justice. I reckoned manacles were in my near future. As the door unlocked, I hissed and tried to crawl underneath a desk but I was seized in a death-grip and pulled out by two strange looking officers.

“You know why we’re here, yes?” I slumped and held myself to keep from trembling. “You know you’re not supposed to be here, yes?” It was an ugly turn of events.

“I have an idea.” I managed and spat to the side.

“We represent an organization dating back to 1100BC, one of truth and honesty and decency, yes?”

He said slowly and with righteous indignation. “We are here on behalf of Kamala Harris (D).” It was a shrewd remark. The tall one with ‘B. Kiel’ on his badge gleefully laughed and slapped the shoulder of the round chubby one called ‘D. Henry.’

“We got him!” He said. “We have 33 ways to punish him, yes?”

I could only bite my lip to keep from screaming. As they moved in, my only thought was to protect my head and ride out the thunder.

Then, suddenly, another cruiser pulled up with Santa Clarita Police Department inscribed on it. My despair gave way to hope as I began to make sense of what was happening. Then chaos erupted as ‘B. Kiel’ got one look at the SCPD officers and shrieked,

“Oh my god! David! Run!” I have never seen anything like it before or since. The sheer absurdity of watching these faux police officers turn into wild animals and break into a dead sprint down the street. It really scared me. It was the screaming of the chubby one that to this day jangles my nerves. He never had a chance. They ran him down like a rabbit as he shrieked about Templar Knights and tried to invoke  Kamala Harris.  

It was only later that I grasped the Masonic Fraternal Police Department isn’t affiliated with the Santa Clarita Police Department. And it wasn’t until I read Matt Hamilton’s piece in the L.A. Times that I realized,

“Suspicions about the Masonic Fraternal Police Department-whose members trace their origins to the Knights Templar-were aroused when various police chiefs in southern California received a letter in late January that announced new leadership for the group”.

As it stands now, an aide to state Attorney Gen. Senator Kamala Harris and two others have been charged with impersonating police officers and attempting to carry out Freemasonic justice on an oblivious public. The Masonic community is awash with lawyers, L.A. Sheriffs, and the FBI. State attorney Kamala Harris has reportedly gone into hiding and refuses to work. Her credit cards have all been canceled and even ‘Anonymous’ released a video missive castigating the Masonic police-men by remarking “only a fool gets caught”. The entire Masonic community feels anxious and not even the rich feel comfortable performing initiation rites. The process has become hideous and embarrassing as groups like the ‘Skull and Bones’ and ‘Rosicrucians’ publicly amuse themselves with YouTube reenactments and internet memes of the FMPD debacle. This will blow over but not before retribution is paid to both big-time politicians and the public in a gruesome show of weird accountability.

Snake-Oil Salesman: Spinning the Occult

I read recently in a book about disinformation that ‘spin’ is a polite word for deception. It got me thinking. Why is it that traditional paradigms of religion such as Christianity, Buddhism, or even Islam are ‘treated’ differently than religious minorities such as Thelema? Why are occult systems subject to exorbitant amounts of ‘spin’? Is the deception merely monetary and would Thelemites be given more favorable provenance? Probably. But this systemic mischaracterization goes beyond creating a counterfeit reality or ‘spinning a yarn’. The real problem is in denying pertinent information about occultism by refusing to think critically about it. Of all the religious systems out there, paradigms of the occult are the most conducive for ontological discussion. After all, the entire mythos is based on creation, sustainment, and interaction of Being. In each state of affairs is a network of interactive autonomy. Whereas traditional religious systems have an already established set of supernatural beings. (i.e. Father, Son, Spirit etc…), occult is a fluidic assemblage of invisible mediators that stay in flux re-assembling and re-newing themselves continuously. They are both determinate and self-determining. Invocation is simply the means of gaining rapport and making contact.

“One Generation Away”: Occult Persecution in Modern America

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

George Orwell

The last night of the Sacred Owl ceremony at Bohemian Grove was met with a howling wind. Seats kept blowing over and the owl effigy was in danger of toppling. This event is always a swanky affair. Every year hundreds of world leaders and corporate entities lazily congregate and discuss where and how reality will shaped. This year was no different. The customary dinner before the ritual theatre was a mash-up of blood red steaks, liver, and of course hummus. It was a fine set-up; perfectly attuned to meet the needs of the big-wigs in attendance. CEO’s and political leaders laughed jovially and mingled. Midgets were chased by half-baked executives donning terrifying masks and carrying wands. Otherwise straight laced corporate leaders danced like babes and ran naked.

That was until the maniacal child-star and holy soldier Kirk Cameron appeared like a phantasm and began to exorcise everything in sight. He began with trees and rocks spouting obscenities and thrusting a wooden cross into the face of all in attendance. It was like watching a snake handler on the brink of being bitten in the face. The terrified world leaders squealed and were seized with a fight or flight response. Some ran blindly into the woods, others grabbed eating utensils and stood in defensive postures. All while Cameron hooted and wrung his hands-crazily running up and down the aisle seats shrieking about rapture and openly invoking Michele Bachmann. It was heartbreaking.

The cord was cut. I personally heard Cameron whisper to Ray Comfort, “We’ve got to be careful with this lot. They’re heathen. This is the only thing they care about or really believe in. They’ll tie us to that goddamn owl before they burn it.” Comfort laughed nervously but his face betrayed thoughts that were clearly, Oh God, we’re in real trouble. He managed a half-choked sob and pleaded, “Maybe we shouldn’t be filming? What if they find the camera in your glasses?” Cameron soothed, “They’re just Druids. They’re savage. I’d be surprised if they even know what it is. We’ll run them down like dogs. It’s pre-ordained.”

This effectively killed the mojo of the weekend but that’s the growing trend as occultists all over the United States are being herded into underground shipping containers and tanker trucks like lepers. It’s not a myth. We are now “One Generation Away” from all-out occult persecution. We will witness in our children’s lifetimes the streets run red with the blood of occult martyrs. According to the Coalition for Occult Conservatives, 57% of practicing Pagans and Thelemites will be interred in underground communities by the year 2070. The Subterranean Occult Society (S.O.S.) have been frantically trying to stem the ebb and flow of occult persecution by throwing tens of millions of dollars into occult ‘think tanks’ in hopes of enticing diversity in local law-makers, media outlets, and other shapers of consensus reality. But the fear of ‘filthy superstition’ has stirred up a host of enemies to religious pluralism. Anti-occult mouthpieces such as Jeff Harshbarger have remarked, “Our society is submerged in the occult; Harry Potter has filled the minds of our children for a decade and vampirism meets our teens with the illusions of grandeur. Witchcraft went mainstream decades ago and Wicca is its offspring.” Other persecutors such as T. Franklin from the ‘Objective Ministries’ has stated that, “If there is one thing that Satanists, Goths, and Pagans of all stripes fear, it is ‘light’; this is why they hold their coven meetings at night, skulk around in the shadows, and wear dark clothing instead of bright, cheerful colors.”

This is the common perception toward esoteric schools of thought. And it’s working folks. On the surface, occultism is just an irritating religious minority. But the debris of this all-out assault yields a far more systemic evil if one only has the will to dig. The problem lays in anthropocentric autonomy. Modern religious autonomy is anthropocentric. In other words, it is organized by reference to human beings alone. But occult interaction doesn’t necessarily denote an anthropocentric perspective of the godhead. There are a myriad of entities and creatures accepted by occult ritualization that isn’t necessarily human but literally alien.

It’s this anthropocentric point of view that is the foundation for modern rule. For example, imagine if UFOs on earth were proved to be actual extraterrestrials from another dimension. This reality would threaten anthropocentric sovereignty of the power structure and is why the reality of UFOs isn’t so much denied but the question not even asked. Or what about the second coming of Jesus Christ? Again, an event of this caliber would be a real problem for existing paradigms of anthropocentric rule. The occult suffers from the same system of ‘consensus reality’. It’s not that occult ritual is refuted or that esoteric thought is critically found to be ineffective. Oh no, occult study much like UFO reality is taboo. It threatens the anthropocentric metaphysics of sovereignty. In so doing, it also violates what is accepted in consensus reality.

When occult evidence comes to the fore, what is needed is an ‘autonomous agnosticism’. A temporary suspension of consensus reality (i.e norms and laws of spiritual belief) so that occult reality has the opportunity to affect rational belief. All that is needed is the perspective that occult goals and esoteric reality is reachable and knowable. Having a potential materialization of the metaphysical is at least asking the question. It’s not hard to see how this point of view would also benefit UFO discussion. In the potential to be knowable epistemologically, we also grant it an autonomy based on ontological foundations.

But consensus reality will push back not because of the irrational or illogical. Most religious systems including Christianity have elements of the illogical. That’s just the ride. Autonomous agnosticism will be denied because the regime of truth becomes threatened if what is accepted as metaphysically possible violates what is already established as real. And so the possibilities are unthinkable. If it seems that the problem is as much politic as religious than your already seeing reality in a form of agnostic autonomy and questioning the norms and laws of rational belief. Structures of power are anthropocentric and anything that trespasses this trespasses what is truth and must be made taboo. I’m not saying give world power over to the risen Christ or Extraterrestrials but the possibility of invoking daimons or entities or aliens certainly places a burden on current sovereignty of power. Perhaps what is needed is a new consensus reality where occultism doesn’t threaten power structures but contributes to what can be known and attained. It’s at least asking the question.
