Man, you just can't make this shit up.<br /><br />Well, I'm not in the SRIA, they're a little to steeped in Christian mysticism for my taste, but now I'm considering it!<br /><br />But wait a minute, doesn't that statement kind of negate their entire argument about the SRIAm not admitting Jews, Pagans, Thelemites, etc.? If we're all "card carrying members", then they DO admit Jews, Pagans, Thelemites, etc.<br /><br />Oh, I get it! We're all <i>secretly born-again Baptist fundamentalists!</i> What a clever game we've been playing. That makes perfect sense!<br /><br />No wait, it doesn't.Joseph Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343503907134117709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-65109161762765517162012-04-21T05:53:40.648-06:002012-04-21T05:53:40.648-06:00And everybody notice how the SRIAm is reacting to ...And everybody notice how the SRIAm is reacting to all of this?<br /><br />Silence.<br /><br />That's how it's done, people.<br /><br />PS: "Red scare" is a perfect analogy, Deanna.

They are especially renowned for their exceptional library. And yet, it seems, all this time this bunch of depraved librarians has been plotting to destroy the Golden Dawn (presumably in revenge for some unforgiveable past sin, like Mathers taking out a book and not bringing it back on time). This campaign has integrated seamlessly with their ongoing persecution of Pagans, Jews, Thelemites and other non-librarians. So much so, they've been able to keep this evil conspiracy entirely secret. If you go to their website, as linked to by the "GD leader", you might see only an innocent group of book-cherishing Rosicrucians and Freemasons ... but if you view it through your special library barcode scanner specs (available only to trademark-bearing adepts) you will see all the raging deluded hate-filled and self-obsessed filth revealed on this apparently innocent website. Additionally, the site is packed with cunningly hidden anti-GD propaganda and secret curses encoded in the form of Dewey decimals. Be very afraid.<br /><br />I fear I'm already lost, however. I've known John Paternoster, the gentleman whose photo appears on the "GD leader"'s blog post, for many years and I've always found him to be a thoroughly kind and charming man of the utmost integrity. I had no idea I was being secretly persecuted for being a Pagan and a non-librarian.Rebsie Fairholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811733792196954188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-71368583297982891662012-04-20T07:38:46.395-06:002012-04-20T07:38:46.395-06:00@Joseph I think you said his name too many times....@Joseph I think you said his name too many times.

The purpose of the rest of the Golden Dawn community is to give David Griffin the opportunity to show what an innovative and superior magician and leader David Griffin is, since David Griffin was chosen to fill the role of David Griffin by Secret Chiefs™®© that only David Griffins can talk to. Other Golden Dawn leaders don’t show the proper respect for David Griffin’s wisdom and insight simply because they are insanely jealous of David Griffin's undeniable David Griffin-osity, and so, with sadness, regret, and immense regard for David Griffin, David Griffin must condemn these errant leaders, so that the non-David Griffins of the world can be free to stand in awe of David Griffin’s intellect, magical powers, sexual prowess and all-around awesome David Griffin-ness.Joseph Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343503907134117709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-13118741026875314712012-04-19T22:26:28.853-06:002012-04-19T22:26:28.853-06:00I can't for the life of me understand how his ...I can't for the life of me understand how his posse tolerate the shrill narcissism.

So instead he goes after them obliquely by defaming the other Order they both are leaders of also.<br /><br />Of course, he's left more than enough pointers to indicate who he's talking about, which is the point.<br /><br />Like Nick Farrell, one prominent member of this latter Order recently published the original 6=5 ritual by the old Alpha et Omega Order of Mathers. The "leader", I'm quite certain, has been beside himself with anger and frustration for not being able to vent his spleen upon her as he has done, shall we say, so "unelegantly" on Mr. Farrell.<br /><br />So now he's spun a gloriously paranoid conspiracy theory based on not very much but insinuation, innuendo, a tortured chain of inference without evidence, one anecdote offered without specifics, and most of all, driven by his all-abiding and eternal enmity toward these Golden Dawn leaders he considers his rivals, for thwarting his plans of establishing a world-wide monopoly on anything with the words "Golden Dawn" in it.<br /><br />In the interests of full disclosure, I had some small part in the thwarting of those plans. And also, I will disclose that the leaders of the targeted Golden Dawn Order are my personal friends, and I am honored by their friendship. They are wonderful, caring, loving people who have devoted "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" to preserving and building the Golden Dawn movement. They do The Great Work quietly, devotedly, with never a trace of animosity or enmity toward any other persons following the Golden Dawn path, regardless of differences in belief, religion or practice. (With the exception, of course, of the aforementioned "leader".)<br /><br />My prediction is this: this "backdoor" campaign of slurring and defiling the Golden Dawn Order of my friends will fail, and fail miserably. What the aforementioned "leader" is actually showing is his desperation. There will be no exodus of friends and associates from the Golden Dawn Order he has backhandedly attacked. The only real result of it all is to show the world, in the words of the Bard, that he is:<br /><br />"...but a walking shadow, a poor player,<br />That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,<br />And then is heard no more. It is a tale<br />Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,<br />Signifying nothing."Joseph Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343503907134117709noreply@blogger.com
