For Vivica

One cannot coerce the Spiritual: if one attempts to enter into the Light without preparation, one always faces the trials and dangers of Darkness. At the very least, an enforced entry into initiation will drive the illegal entrant insane.

David Ovason, The Zelator

Introduction

Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.

Mephistopheles in Dr. Faustus , Part , I, iii, 76-80 by Christopher Mar- lowe

W elcome to Book Two of Sinister Forces: A Warm Gun . In Book One: The Nine , you were introduced to a thread of violence and bizarre belief represented by violent and bizarre people running, like Sherlock Holmes scarlet thread of murder, through American history up to and including the assassinations of the two Kennedy brothers. Strange priests, satanic rituals, political conspiracy, and the occult. Not the sort of thing one normally encounters during the course of graduate work in political science or during a walk down a dark alley in an American city at night. That all of these things happened is a fact; that these people committed these actions is a fact. That some very strange belief systems are at the heart of American policy, foreign and domestic, is also a fact.

That many Americans are not aware of this, or simply dont care, is an- other fact.

In this, the second book of a trilogy concerning American political witchcraft, we will examine some of the more modern manifestations of this unsettling concourse of sinister forces. We will look at terrorism, true, but we will also discover the coincidence stream in full flow in the lives of men as disparate in social standing as Richard Nixon and Mark David Chapman, Jim Jones and Richard Mellon Scaife, David Berkowitz and Donald Cam- mell. It is a study of Washington and Hollywood. Of serial murder and mysticism. Of the straining of the American intelligence community towards a manipulation of the unconscious mind and of their transgression into the realm of the occult and initiation. We will look at the stories we all think we already know, and see maybe for the first time what the Renaissance magician Giordano Bruno meant when he wrote of the links: the doctrine of correspondences that is not only the province of ceremonial magic but of ceremonial politics. That is why this trilogy is called a grimoire.

There are times when it appears that world history is nothing less than the story of warring secret societies, with all of the rest of humanity mere pawns in what historian Ladislas Farago called the Game of the Foxes.
The Rosicrucians of the 17th Century gave us a prototype of the secret society: a band of brothers, bound together by mystical visions, which had probably never existed in reality but was the romantic invention of a English alchemist. It was an otherwise anonymous manifesto a printed broadside
that created the myth of the Rosicrucians and since then many individu- als have sought to capitalize on the name and the glamour by proclaiming themselves heirs to the Rosicrucian tradition.

What is Al-Qaeda, then, but another secret society: a band of brothers, bound together by a mystical vision of the world, whose membership is largely secret, where betrayal of the groups mysteries is punished by death, and which is probably a very small organization with a larger-than-life profile whose reputation is made on websites and videotapes ... and mass murder. The same was said of the Illuminati and the Freemasons, upon whom the blame for centuries of violent revolution was laid. That Al-Qaeda the Base has more in common with the Assassins cult of Hassan i-Sabah only reinforces this idea of a secret society at war with the world and with the West in general.
Should it surprise us, then, that the putative opponents of Al-Qaeda should be members of a Western secret society?
The secret society and occult affiliations of Americas political and intel- ligence leadership is something that is never discussed on the open airwaves, never investigated by the mainstream media. We have all heard of Skull & Bones, and know that somehow President George W. Bush was a member of this college fraternity while a student at Yale University. The story seems to end there. No one delves too deeply into this aspect of Bushs life, even when it is revealed that his father belonged to the same society, and that Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry also belonged to Skull & Bones. The very idea that, in 2004, the presidential election was a choice between two Bones- men never seemed to make the headlines in America even when it was shown that Skull & Bones membership is quite small (only fifteen new members are initiated every year), very select, and depends upon a strenuous enforcement of the rules of secrecy and deception. That the two presidential candidates were both members of this same small and elite group should have raised warning flags, and didnt. Yet, at a time when America was embroiled in the Iraq war and in an ostensible war on terror directed against Al-Qaeda our only choices for president were two members of the same secret society.

If that was all, it would be enough. But thats not all.

In 1833, the year after Skull & Bones was founded, another secret society was formed, this time at Union College in New York. This one was called Psi Upsilon, and was formed by seven students who signed a pact stating, We, the undersigned, having determined to form a secret society, and having some conversation on the subject, do now and hereby pledge our sacred honors that we will keep all that has been done and said a most profound secret.
