Info on The Church of Satan from the U.S. Army by Department of the Army

Vatic Note:  This was put up specifically to indicate the acceptance by the military of Satanist religion, and a lack of knowledge or acknowledgement that could show the potential danger of the rituals and practices to others within the service and it was not addressed at any time prior to announcing it had already been done.   It simply shows how deep and how far into our system this has filtered.  It definitely starts from the top down.   

After this army pamphlet outlining the whitewash of the satanists, are examples of two generals who were promoted after massive failure of command.   A reward????  You decide.  Is the practice of satanism prevalent at the higher ranks of the military?   Lets watch an interview of a high ranking military wife and what she experienced,  it will be down after the the report on the current high ranking officers of questionable behavior and rewards.   She talks about the requirements her husband had to go through in a satanic ritual method of advancement.  There are four segments and are very interesting.   I had no idea this was so prevalent at that level of authority.

RELIGIOUS REQUIREMENTS AND PRACTICES
of Certain Selected Groups

A HANDBOOK FOR CHAPLAINS

HISTORICAL ROOTS: The Church of Satan is an eclectic body that traces its origin to many sources - classical voodoo, the Hell-Fire Club of eighteenth century England, the ritual magic of Aleister Crowley, and the Black Order of Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. It departs from its predecessors by (1) its organization into a church, and (2) the openness of its magical endeavors.

CURRENT WORLD LEADER: Anton Szandor LaVey, High Priest.

ORIGINS IN THE U.S.: The Church of Satan was formed on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, in San Francisco California, when Anton LaVey proclaimed the beginning of the Satanic Era. Initial growth came from coverage in the mass media. Articles included coverage of LaVey holding a funeral for a member of the U.S. Navy killed in San Francisco.

NUMBER OF ADHERENTS IN THE U.S.: Between 10,000 and 20,000.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE: The Church of Satan is focused in the Central Grotto in San Francisco. It accepts or rejects all potential members and charters other grottos (congregations) around the country. Isolated individuals relate dirrectly to the Central Grotto. Power to regulate members is in the hands of the Head of the Church.



LEADERSHIP AND ROLE OF PRIESTS: The Priesthood of the Church of Satan is not comprised of individuals who are necessarily adept in the performance of rituals, though pastoral and organizational abilities are not minimized. The rank of Priest is conferred on those who have achieved a measurable degree of esteem or proficiency and/or success; one's level of membership within the Church is commensurate with his/her position outside the Church. Hence a respected career soldier or Commissioned Officer in the Army might qualify, though be totally uninvolved with group activity. This form of stratification determines the leadership and selects the governing body of the Church. Rituals are conducted by a de facto priest i.e., a celebrant member who has evidenced a working knowledge of and ability to conduct services and is authorized by the Central Grotto.

WHO MAY CONDUCT A RITUAL? Anyone, but a priest is required for group worship.

IS GROUP WORSHIP REQUIRED? No, but it is strongly encouraged, because it is a strong reinforcement of the faith and instillation of power.

WORSHIP REQUIREMENTS: Worship in the Church of Satan is based upon the belief that man needs ritual, dogma, fantasy, and enchantment. Worship consists of magical rituals and there are three basic kinds: sexual rituals, to fulfill a desire; compassionate rituals, to help another; and destructive rituals, used for anger, annoyance, or hate. Grottos often gather on Friday evenings for group rituals.

MINIMUM EQUIPMENT FOR WORSHIP: Varies with the type of ritual performed but is likely to include a black robe, an altar, the symbol of the Baphomet (Satan), candles, a bell, a chalice, elixir (wine or some other drink most pleasing to the palate), a sword, a model phallus, a gong, and parchment.

FACILITIES FOR WORSHIP: A private place where an altar can be erected and rituals performed.

OTHER SPECIFIC RELIGIOUS REQUIREMENTS OTHER THAN WORSHIP: None.

DIETARY LAWS OR RESTRICTIONS: None.

SPECIAL RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS: The highest holiday in the Satanic religion is one's own birthday. Every man is a God as he chooses to recognize that fact. After one's birthday, Walpurgisnacht (April 30) and Halloween are most important. April 30 is the grand climax of the spring equinox and Halloween was one of the times of the great fire festivals among the ancient Druids. The solstices and equinoxes - which fall in March, June, September, and December and mark the first day of the new seasons - are also celebrated.

FUNERAL AND BURIAL REQUIREMENTS: The priests of the Church of Satan perform funerals, and the Central Grotto should be contacted in case of death.

AUTOPSY: No restrictions.

CREMATIONS: Only permitted in extreme circumstances, such as an expedient measure where it is necessary to safeguard the health of others.

MEDICAL TREATMENT: No restrictions.

UNIFORM APPEARANCE REQUIREMENTS: No restrictions.

POSITION ON SERVICE IN THE ARMED SERVICES: None.
IS A PRIEST REQUIRED AT TIME OF DEATH? No.

ANY OTHER PRACTICES OR TEACHINGS WHICH MAY CONFLICT WITH MILITARY DIRECTIVES OR PRACTICES: None.

BASIC TEACHINGS OR BELIEFS: The Church of Satan worships Satan, most clearly symbolized in the Roman God Lucifer, the bearer of light, the spirit of the air, and the personification of enlightenment. Satan is not visualized as an anthropomorphic being, rather he represents the forces of nature. To the Satanist, the self is the highest embodiment of human life and is sacred. The Church of Satan is essentially a human potential movement, and members are encouraged to develop whatever capabilities they can by which they might excel. They are, however, cautioned to recognize their limitations - an important factor in this philosophy of rational self-interest. Satanists practice magick, the art of changing situations or events in accordance with one's will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be impossible.

CREEDAL STATEMENTS AND/OR AUTHORITATIVE LITERATURE: The writings of Anton S. LaVey provide the direction for the Satanists - The Satanic Bible, The Compleat Witch, and The Satanic Rituals. (See also "Ethical Practices.") Members are encouraged to study pertinent writings which serve as guidelines for Satanic thought, such as works of Mark Twain, Niccolo Machiavelli, G.B. Shaw, Ayn Rand, Friedrich Nietzsche, etc.

ETHICAL PRACTICES: The ethical stance of the Church of Satan is summarized in the Nine Satanic Statements: "(1) Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!; (2) Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!; (3) Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit!; (4) Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!; (5) Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!; (6) Satan represents responsibility for the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!; (7) Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his 'divine and intellectual development' has become the most vicious animal of all!; (8) Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!; (9) Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!"

Beyond the above principles, Satanists generally oppose the use of narcotics which dull the senses, and suicide, which cuts off life (the great indulgence), and stand firmly for law and order. The Church of Satan is not to be confused with "Satanist" groups which have been found to engage in illegal acts.

HOW DOES THE CHURCH OF SATAN RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS? The church does not proselytize but welcomes inquiries from honest potential Satanists who hear about the Church from the various books about it, the mass media, or word-of-mouth. New members must go though a screening process before they are accepted.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER RELIGIONS: The Church of Satan stands as gathering point for all those who believe in what the Christian Church opposes and members are generally hostile to its teachings and resultant behavior patterns. To a lesser extent, the same position holds for Eastern religions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now lets take a  look at some examples of the high level officers in our military and what happened with them which means the highest under George W. Bush (satanist) got promoted after massive failures in command.  Check this out, sent to me by a friend and can be easily confirmed.

WHY WERE THESE MEN PROMOTED WITHIN DAYS OF THEIR SPECTACULAR FAILURES AS COMMANDERS OF THIS NATION’S DEFENSE FORCES?

The 9/11 attack saw the largest failure to protect the civilian population from attack in this nation's history.
This failure is stunning given the awesome capabilities of our trillion-dollar space- and ground-based air defense system—by far the best and most sophisticated on the planet.

The evidence is clear that the two top generals who were in charge of the nation’s defenses on that day screwed up royally.

Yet, they were promoted within days for their spectacular failures...

1. GENERAL RICHARD MYERS

General Richard Myers was acting head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11/01. He stated to the 9/11 Commission that he went into a meeting with Senator Max Cleland after the first WTC tower was hit, and stayed there until just after the Pentagon was hit — OVER AN HOUR!

During this time, he never once asked WHO the enemy was or WHAT KIND of attack the nation was under (not surprising, I suppose, given that his commander-in-chief was similarly nonchalant, and immersed in a tome about a pet goat during this exact time period).

One can only assume General Myers’ meeting with Senator Cleland was more important than the ongoing multiple attacks on the nation.

Two days after the attack, Myers was asked some softball questions by the Senate Armed Services Committee, and promoted to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

NB: In the thick of these attacks, and under this general’s piercing watch, the SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) batteries deployed around the Pentagon to protect this nation’s military nerve center were mysteriously deactivated—or certainly appeared to have been. Had they not, the SAM radar would have identified the incoming “Boeing 757” as an enemy penetrator and automatically initiated launch. That’s what the system is programmed to do.

But there is another reason why SAMs may not have been launched: By its “friendly” IFF transponder squawk, the incoming “aircraft” was identified by SAM radar as being of US military origin, and fire was automatically held per its program.

In other words, the SAMs are programmed NOT to fire against US military aircraft (or any aircraft equipped with a US military transponder). Besides our standard arsenal of military aircraft, unconventional types such as UCAVs, cruise missiles and yes, Global Hawks, also fall into this category of “friendlies” and are immune from retaliatory action.

Bottom line: If what hit the Pentagon was American Flight 77, it would have been blown to bits before it got anywhere near the building.

It was also under General Myers’ watchful eye that the external “eyes” of the Pentagon—forty high-resolution television security cameras, mounted along the roofline around the perimeter of the building—were also mysteriously turned off that day.

They had to have been—we’re told they saw nothing.

But there were three security cameras some distance away that were perfectly positioned to have seen everything. These were located at a nearby Citgo gas station, the Hilton Hotel, and atop a pole on highway I-135. Their tapes were confiscated by FBI agents within minutes of the crash, never to be seen again. If only General Myers would kindly release these videos, the world would have a front-row view of what exactly struck the Pentagon that day. Then we could put this whole “conspiracy theory” about the 757 to bed for good.

2. GENERAL RALPH EBERHART

General Ralph Eberhart was in charge of NORAD on 9/11. NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center maintains up-to-the-second monitoring of airspace over the US and Canada.

It’s been claimed of NORAD’s formidable surveillance apparatus that it is able to identify and track ANY airborne contraption — metallic or otherwise, large or small, transponder on or off — anywhere and at any altitude in American or Canadian airspace.

Scrambles to intercept wayward aircraft are standard and routine practice for NORAD—there were a total of 67 scrambles in the year preceding 9/11.

That’s roughly a scramble every six days.

Any aircraft that deviates from its designated course for more than 3 minutes is considered a threat, and immediately red-flagged on all FAA and NORAD radar screens. Fighter aircraft are then scrambled within 6 minutes, in full afterburner, to intercept these “threats”.

This is standard operating procedure. Many of the 67 intercepts in the preceding year involved single-engined light aircraft that had strayed off course.

On September 11, 2001, FOUR 100-TON AIRLINERS merrily traipsed about the American skies for almost TWO HOURS, yet not a single fighter was scrambled to intercept any of them (Actually, 2 were—but they were “accidentally” directed over the Atlantic).

General Eberhart’s vigilant warriors at NORAD should have easily tracked the unfolding attack from 8:20, when Flight 11 went off course, to 10:06, when Flight 93 “crashed”.

Yet, instead of scrambling fighters from bases near the targets, or calling for intercepts from multiple bases, Eberhart’s commanders chose a few far-away bases, thereby ensuring help would never arrive on time.

To make doubly sure they’d be running late for their rendezvous, the scrambled F-16s, which have a top speed of over 1400 mph, sauntered along at a leisurely half-throttle 700 mph.

For this mind-boggling display of “incompetence”, Eberhart was promoted to head the new "Northern Command" established in October of 2002.

She talks about the rituals her husband had to go through to advance and because she knows about it, when they got divorced, they did everything to instill fear in her to keep quiet.  She talks about the "evil men" who were her husbands peers and the evil they do that we know nothing about.
