Smoking cigarettes is international terrorism

February 29th, 2008

Are the members of Ordo Templi Orientis perverts? No doubt. It’s a rule of thumb that any secret society that Aleister Crowley was involved with involves a few occult rituals where the consumption of certain bodily fluids is expected. But child-killing, blood-drinking and organ-eating perverts?

Just how far will the GOP go in the general election? Would it surprise you to learn that they’re strategizing about just how far they can push racist and sexist attacks without being called on them?

That’s better.

The pagan throne at CNN

October 8th, 2007

CNN’s Pagan Throne

Bill O’Reilly’s surprising revelation about CNN’s pagan throne raises one thousand and one questions. Since O’Reilly casually mentioned it in conversation, are we to presume the greater cable news industry already knew about this? Why are we just now learning about the throne? Why did they feel the new to obfuscate this from the public?

Who sits upon its gilded frame? Ted Turner? Larry King? Soledad O’Brian? Or do all the anchors take turns, with Anderson Cooper cutting in line so Wolf Blizter doesn’t have time to sit on it before his broadcast? How much weight can the throne support? (Lou Dobbs is a rather stout man.) Does the throne provide adequate back support? Where is the throne room?

What pagan gods do CNN employees worship? Are they hired because they are pagan, or are they forced to convert? Is their worship non-denominational, or do their loyalties lie with, say, Sumerian deities? Are animals or humans sacrificed in the break room? Are magical rituals performed? If they have the gods in their corner, why aren’t they getting better ratings?

The biggest “V” ever, eh?

September 2nd, 2007

biggestv.jpg

The claim is not mere boastfulness - disciplined examination confirms it is a pretty big “V”.

If that wasn’t mind-blowing enough, we suspect V and/or Kate Bosworth are communicating the inscrutable secrets of the universe by use of occult symbolism.

Uncanny, no?

Update: It is also worth mentioning that V.V.V.V.V., or Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici (”While still living, I have conquered the universe by dint of truth.”) was Aleister Crowley’s motto as temple master.
