In 1993, three innocent young kids were found raped, naked, and murdered in the mud of local woodland at Robin Hood Hills in West Memphis, Arkansas.
They were all American boys – 8-year-old Michael Moore, Steven Branch, and Christopher Byers. All proud members of the Boy Scouts with the world ahead of them but their lives were cut short in the most horrible way that anyone could ever imagine.
After getting together to go play and have fun in the local woods, the boys were instead abducted, tied up, beaten, raped, tortured, and then killed in what can be described as a “Satanic ritual sacrifice.”
“The state of the boys’ bodies quickly inspired rumors that a satanic cult was responsible. The crime scene’s location in the woods, the nudity, the positioning of the boys’ bodies, and especially the castration caused concern about Satanism amongst the locals, and amongst the police as well.
Within days of the murders, Gary Gitchell, the chief inspector, informed the public that the police were considering a number of possible explanations for the murders, one of which was cult activity.
Throughout the investigation, the cult theory overshadowed more traditional theories, such as the speculation that the murders were committed by someone who knew the boys.”
At the time of the killings, a local teenager from a nearby trailer park named Damien Echols quickly became a prime suspect. The main reason why police zeroed in on Echols was his criminal record, extensive mental health history, and his interest in the occult.
You see, Echols was a felon and his probation officer who knew his dark history had alerted homicide detectives about his tendency for violence, and his involvement in Satanism, black magick, and the fact that he had threatened to murder people in the past – including his own step mother.
Echols was not your average heavy metal tshirt wearing teenager.
He was a Satanist who was a convicted criminal who had a long history of dark occult and blood ritualistic behavior.
According to police and mental health records, Damien Echols had made a pact with his girlfriend to sacrifice their first born baby in a death ritual and that he liked to drink human blood as well.
When he was arrested, police investigators discovered a plethora of evidence of Echols occult and Satanic activities with various writings, drawings, and his own and other people’s damning statements.
For example, Echols had a ringed binder in his possession at his home that he made called the “Book of Shadows” with Satanic drawings such as these:
As I mentioned, there has been a lot written about the case from both perspectives so I won’t go into too much detail here other than summarizing the key points that I believe are the most important to prove that Damien Echols was and is a Satanist on the fringe.
It is important to note that one of the main suspects, Jessie Misskelley had confessed not once, not twice, but several times to law enforcement and he even placed his right hand on the bible admitting the killings. Later he would also confess to his lawyer. Hell, even his own father and family believed he was guilty.
The police then investigated into his background and what he was doing on the night of the murders. An eyewitness had seen Echols with another person in the very same neighborhood the boys were found dead covered in mud.
Damien along with two of his friends, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, were then questioned and arrested for the crimes and they would forever be known in Cult murder lore as “The West Memphis Three (3).”
Misskelley had quickly confessed to detectives about his involvement giving them intimate details of the crime scene such as being hogtied and having chased down one of the boys who almost got away, and he also implicated Baldwin and Echols as his accomplices.
He had told investigators;
“Then they tied them up, tied their hands up,” parts of which were tape recorded. After describing sodomizing and other violence, he went on: “And I saw it and turned around and looked, and then I took off running. I went home, then they called me and asked me, ‘How come I didn’t stay? I told them, I just couldn’t.’”
Misskelley later recanted, and defense lawyers said the then-17-year-old got several parts of the story wrong.
But that was not the only evidence and there were also other statements made to police that prove that The West Memphis 3 were violent teens who also practiced Satanic rituals.
For example, one of Jessee Miskelleys’ friends, Dennis Carter was interviewed by Lt. D. Hester at the request of Dennis Carter 6/9/93 completed @ 2:45 – 4:15 p.m.
According to the police report, Carter told police that he has known and been friends with Misskelley all of his life.
The last time he saw Jesse was the day before he was arrested. He claimed that he did not know Damien or Jason. However, he knew who they were but was not friends with either of them.
One of their mutual friends, Rick told Dennis about some Devil worshipers that would meet in a place called Stone Henge in the woods where they would cut a dog’s head off and would eat the meat from the leg. Rick said that Damien was the leader.
Dennis told investigators that about 6 months prior, Jesse told him that Damien was a Devil worshiper and that he ate the right leg of dogs and said that this happened in the woods located behind Elite lamp.
He also said to the police that Jesse liked to fight and a lot of times he would even start it. About 2 months prior to the crimes, Jesse was fighting a boy named Eric in Lakeshore when this girl named Tiffany (13) Eric’s girlfriend — went over to try and stop him — states Jesse turned around and hit her as hard as he could in the ear with his fist. Dennis stated that Jesse had to go to Juvenile Court over that.
Dennis said there was a little girl in the mobile home park who was 5 or 6 yrs old who was throwing rocks — one accidentally hit Jesse — Jesse chased the little girl and threw a rock and hit her in the head. The little girl was crying and Jesse was laughing.
He also stated to police that Jesse drank a lot and smoked pot when he could get it — thinks the guys name is Josh 17 yrs old and lives in Highland Trailer Park. States that he also saw Jesse sniffing gas about 20 times. Also saw Jesse take mini thins — bought them at Delta in Marion — got high from those.”
Damien Echols would fail a polygraph test and his alibis would be ripped to shreds. He even admitted on the stand that his timeline kept changing to try to fit the facts.
We know that after a short trial, the jury convicted the three teenagers of the crimes in 1994 based on the evidence put forth by the prosecution with the most damning being the actual confessions from two of the killers.
In upholding Echols’ conviction in 1996, the state Supreme Court noted that two people testified Echols bragged about the killings, an eyewitness put Echols at the scene, fibers similar to the boys’ clothing were found in Echols’ home, a knife was found in a pond behind Baldwin’s home, Echols’ interest in the occult and his telling police that he understood the boys had been mutilated before officers had released such details.
Since the deaths of the three boys, there have been countless articles, books, and even Hollywood films detailing some of the facts about the case and legal battles. What I have found in my own research is that there are two different camps of people who have taken opposite sides on this matter.
One camp still adamantly believes that Damien Echols and his accomplices are guilty and the other camp believes that they were innocent teens who were wrongly convicted simply because they loved heavy metal and wore Metallica t-shirts.
The camp who believes he is guilty is still very active online. Many people have started personal websites, wrote books, and have active Facebook Groups where they are still covering this case and keeping a watchful eye on who Echols who they feel is a serious threat to society.
The other camp who professes his innocence rely on the simple defense asserting that the killings were part of a Satanic Panic by over zealous Christians and Prosecuters, inspired many authors and film makers to document the case, and led to a movement of powerful people and Hollywood stars who believed that the Memphis 3 had been wrongly convicted.
These people with the help of Hollywood star power and millions of dollars would end up helping the three convicts released from prison. Their supporters would include, “Lord of the Rings” director, Peter Jackson, who donated millions of dollars and “actors” like Johnny Depp, Natlie Maines of the “Dixie Chicks,” and Eddie Vedder of “Pearl Jam.”
It has been estimated that they contributed approximately $20 million to help defend the convicted child killers by dragging out the appeals process, which eventually would secure their release from prison in 2011.
One of the main reasons I feel compelled to report on this case is because Damien Echols is now openly claiming to be a Satanist who used black magick and what he had coined as ‘High Magick” to get off Death Row for the murders of 3 innocent boys.
Also, the fact that the West Memphis Three had received millions of dollars for their defense fund from a bunch of celebrities and got a lot of media attention from Hollywood.
All because some people had characterized their prosecution as the result of a Satanic Panic and overzealous law enforcement who busted three local teens just because they were into heavy metal and wore Metallica t-shirts.
On August 19, 2011, after serving 18 years of Death Row, the convicted child killers – Echols and his co-defendants in the case, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr., entered Alford pleas. An Alford plea is a no contest plea where the accused claims their innocence, but pleads guilty anyway to get a deal offered by prosecutors instead of risking a trial.
During the hearings, after years of investigation and millions of dollars spent by the Memphis 3, the defense attorneys, nor the defendants did not present any exonerating evidence to prove their innocence during the Alford Plea hearings.
Despite there being no evidence proving their innocence, the three men admitted their guilt in the crimes, Arkansas Judge David Laser accepted the pleas and released the men for time served with 10-year suspended sentences.
But the facts are that there is more to the story than Hollywood and the West Memphis 3 would like you to falsely believe. This story of child rape, torture, and murder and celebrities raising millions to release three convicted criminals is a perfect example of why I believe that the U.S. has devolved from our original ethos of Brothery Love and justice and liberty for all into the “Satanic State of America.”
In researching the case, I discovered that this outcast rage would be the main marketing calling card for West Memphis Three and their 3 Hollywood made movies which would convince many people around the world that they were just different – outcasts like you and me.
In fact, this is how they continue to convince people that they are innocent through these films and the many articles written by lazy journalists who consume Echol’s narrative hook, line, and sinker just because they saw the movie or read some article.
What people need to understand about this case are the facts that the people who backed up Damien Echols and the producers who made the films failed to include many facts, details and evidence that would have revealed a much different side of the case than they wanted to portray to their audience.
An audience they knew most likely would not do their own research so they included only the facts they wanted to put in the film to control the narrative in order to gain support and money for Echols’ cause.
And you know what?
Almost every person I have researched who believes the West Memphis Three are innocent based their beliefs mainly from watching the Damien Echols directed movies. Including one of his biggest supporters and who he calls his Brother, Johnny Depp.
They even have matching secret demon and talisman tattoos on their chests to signify their occult bonds.
Marilyn Manson calls them “The West Hollywood Three” which is a pun on the name West Memphis Three. A name that was given to Echols and his two convicted child pals in the rape and torture of 3 boys in Memphis, Tennessee.
“The man Johnny Depp helped release from Arkansas’ death row has become like a brother to him, right down to getting matching tattoos.
“We have some,” Depp said Saturday as he touched a tattoo on the right side of his chest.
“This one Damien designed. It’s one of my all-time favorites, and it means quite a lot to me,” Depp told The Associated Press before the premiere of the documentary, “West of Memphis,” about Damien Echols and his two co-defendants.
Echols said whenever he and Depp get together, they often end up in a tattoo parlor. Depp said it’s about “celebrating the moment.”
A fact that you need to know is that Damien Echols was the executive director of the films which played a huge part in securing his release.
This meant that he had the final say in what information will be presented in the film and what they will not be shown to the public.
When I discovered that Echols was the executive director, I immediately thought “How many convicts would love to receive millions of dollars for their defense and to direct a movie to secure their release telling the public about only the details of the crime that they would like them to believe?”
In my opinion, that is a lot of magical power to hand to a convicted child raping killer who is on Death Row. In fact, this has never happened in the history of our justice system.
As the author, Gary Meece points out in his book, Blood on Black: The Case Against the West Memphis 3 Killers, which is unlike the other books and documentaries about these crimes because he actually uses real court case files. Meece wrote:
“The murders were thrill kills, according to Echols himself. But they were much more than that. Police were struck by the ritualistic aspects. Local dabblers in the occult immediately came under suspicion.
Under questioning, Echols, already acknowledged as a witch, flaunted his knowledge of the occult, his theories of how the killings could have “magickal” implications and his insights into how the killer would think and feel.
He demonstrated special knowledge about the case beyond the little publicly known. He gave out signals that he was a prime suspect; a series of witnesses further implicated him. A confession broke open the case.”
All these facts were mysteriously left out of the movie script… I wonder why?
What is also left out of the film is over 500 pages of mental health records saying things like Echols was prone to extreme acts of violence, liked to drink human blood and threatened to kill and eat people like his own father.
These 500 pages are known in the West Memphis Three case filed as “Exhibit 500.”
It includes most of the hospitalization and mental health records of Damien Echols as a teenager while he lived in Arkansas and Oregon and also his application for disability. Yes, he applied for disability due to his inability to function as a normal person due to his severe mental health issues and thus keep a job.
It is a large collection of mental health status records, psychological testing, dozens of damaging notes by mental health doctors and nurses and also includes statements from Jerry Driver, Damien’s parole officer.
Here is a small example of some pertinent facts you should know about Damien Echols before the murders.

Damien Echol’s long history of family dysfunction, mental health issues, violence, and sexual abuse were the main themes that can be found in the Exhibit 500 documents and in later witness statements taken after his arrest.
In these records, Echols had said to various psychiatrists and therapists that he had no feelings for his family and that he hated both his step-father and biological father and that he did not like his sister because “she want(ed) to be like him and that bothers him a lot.”
His mother said Damien’s biological father may have been physically abusive and once threatened to break Damien’s arm. His stepfather was accused of being sexually abusive, and possessive toward his mother, and was “mentally abusive” to his step-children.
An interesting note is that Damien is not his birth name. He was born Michael Wayne Echols and he changed his name as a teenager from Michael to Damien. Damien said both in trial and to a social worker in 1992, that he was the reason behind the name change.
He claimed that he had been interested in Catholicism at the time and admired Father Damien, who tended to lepers on Molokai. But many people allege that he took the name himself after the boy in The Omen who was really a demon.
Damien’s first stay at a mental hospital was at the Charter Hospital in Little Rock after threatening to commit suicide after being arrested for burglary, sexual misconduct, and breaking and entering involving an incident with his then girlfriend and her parents. Damien was sent to the hospital after expressing plans to commit suicide in the detention facility.
From the numerous reports compiled there, we can start to see a more complete version of Damien’s mental health and occult history.
Damien said that he had been suspended from school seven times for setting fires. He also mentioned a fight with a classmate over a girl, where he almost gouged out his eyes. The classmate was questioned and the incident was found to be true. There was a time when Damien chased a child with an axe, but Echols would later deny the event happened.
The hospital staff confirmed that he had a history of physical aggression and felt that his peers at school taunted him. They observed Echols daily, and took a lot of notes referring to him as being “depressed” and “withdrawn”, with a “flat affect”. He told the hospital that he had burned himself with lighters, and huffed gas and paint
Echol’s mother expressed concern to the hospital about her son’s “anger and rage”. His MMPI evaluation (which begins on page 199) also made note of Damien’s apparent “impulsive hostility” and how he may “feel justified in treating others in an unprincipled matter” due to perceived wrongs.
The mental health staff noted that he may have been suffering from paranoia and auditory hallucinations, due to sniffing the air and giving “inappropriate smiles.” The MMPI evaluation diagnosed him with depressive disorder, bipolar, and paranoid schizophrenia. Echols claimed at his trial that he was on medication for manic depressive behavior, though what was prescribed to him (Tofranil) is actually an anti-depressant and is known to make manic behavior worst.
In 1992, while incarcerated at the Craighead County Detention Center in September of 1992, after it was found that he drank the blood that came from a peer, he was transferred to the Charter Hospital of Little Rock for observation.
Details about the incident are contradicted by Echols who claimed that the person had allowed him to suck blood from his neck but the incident report from the Juvenile Detention Center said that Damien had sucked blood from a peer’s arm without warning.
In an interview on September 15, 1992, a social worker claimed that Echols discussed his devil-worshippingiefs in vampirism. The social worker also claimed that Damien was giggling and smiling at inappropriate moments, during this interview.
The initial evaluation also stated that his peers at the detention center were afraid of him and that he showed poor judgment and had little insight into his illness. They also noted that Damien seemed cooperative but drew occult symbols, which concerned them.
In early 1993, Echols attended more counseling when he claimed to his therapist that his “parents were constantly fighting” and that he had “tried to ignore it but eventually started fighting back.”
During the evaluation, he made various disturbing statements that proved that he was a hardcore Satanist who performed blood rituals.
Echols said to the therapist that he wanted to “go where the monsters go when I die” and that he “hated the human race.” He talked often about his beliefs in witchcraft, but claimed that he was not part of a cult. Echols said that he drank blood to feel power, though it had to come from a sexual or ruling partner.
He said that he had a spirit living inside of him and communicated with demons through rituals and admitted that due to his anger, he blew up sometimes and wanted to hurt other people.
Shortly after he was released from the hospital, Echols applied for SSI disability benefits.
As I had mentioned, the West Memphis Three case had got a lot of attention from Hollywood because some people had wrongly characterized their prosecution as the result of a Satanic Panic and overzealous law enforcement who busted Echols and two other teens just because they were into heavy metal and wore Metallica t-shirts.
A movie was made that was funded by people such as Johnny Depp, Eddie Vedder, and Marilyn Manson and directed by Damien Echols himself. In my opinion, that is a lot of magical power and money to hand to a convicted child-raping killing Satanist who is on Death Row.
As you can witness for yourself with the multiple confessions of one of the murderers and the facts documented in Echols mental health records via Exhibit 500, Damien was a hardcore Satanist with a lust for violence and liked to consume human blood.
He was not part of some local cult or organized Satanic sect, but like most people who commit crimes like this, he suffered from family problems, mental health and drug issues. He had a tendency for violence and a taste for human blood.
Fast forward to today and you will find Damien Echols free as a bird and happy as a Satanic clam.
Echols sells books on “High Magick” and demon sigils in his online store that he claims helped him get out of prison and you know what, I believe him 100%.
He is writing books teaching kids and adults on his popular Youtube channel. Dark wisdom that he dispenses to anyone and everyone showing the very magic that he used to escape from Death Row for the rape, torture, and murder of three boys that he “allegedly did not commit.”
In addition to his books, Youtube and Twitter, he also receives thousands of dollars a month on Patreon.
But let me remind you that he and his accomplices pleaded guilty to the crimes on two occasions.
They were never proved to be innocent or exonerated for the rape and murder of the three innocent boys.

In 2019, the evil world began to crumble around one of the most famous R&B singers of all time, R Kelly after several women shared their stories claiming he had sexually assaulted them in a six-part documentary “Surviving R. Kelly.”
The film starts with one of his victims separating the artist R Kelly from his legal name, Robert Kelly. As if he were two different people. She said:
“There’s a difference between R. Kelly and Robert,” she says. “R. Kelly’s this fun, laughing, loving guy. But Robert is the devil.”
Shortly after the news came out, R. Kelly’s manager, Darrell Johnson was confronted by TMZ. He told TMZ: “Mr. Kelly feels like the devil is working overtime in an effort to try to destroy his musical legacy for selfish, personal enrichment.”
After the documentary was released, the singer made reference to Lucifer and the Devil in an interview with CBS anchor, Gayle King. King asked Kelly, “Do you still sit here and say you have never been with underage girls? Can you really say that?”
He responded:
“If you really look at that documentary, which I’m sure you have…everybody says something bad about me. Nobody said nothing good. They were describing Lucifer.
“I’m not Lucifer. I’m a man, I make mistakes, but I’m not a devil. And by no means am I a monster.”
He added: “They [women] are lying on me.”
But the Devil was the least of the singer’s worries.
Legal authorities had charged R Kelly with several crimes including child pornography, kidnapping, obstruction of justice, sex trafficking, and racketeering for purposes of sexual exploitation of children.
Prosecutors said that Kelly led a “criminal enterprise” of managers, bodyguards, and other employees, who assisted the singer to recruit women and underage girls for sex and pornography, and crossing state lines for the purpose of sex trafficking.
And this was not the first time the Grammy-winning artist had faced child pornography charges.
In 2008, R Kelly was found not guilty of 14 counts of child pornography after Chicago prosecutors failed to convince a jury that he was the man seen on a sex tape with a 13-year-old girl.
During the court hearings, it was discovered that he also secretly married the late singer Aaliyah when she was only 15 and he was 27 in 1994.
Prosecutors alleged that Kelly had “sexual contact” with Aaliyah and bribed a government official for a fake ID showing her age as 18. The marriage was annulled soon thereafter.
The prosecutors in the current case were allowed to present evidence to the court that Kelly had “sexual contact” with Aaliyah referred to as “Jane Doe #1” when she was underage.
Prosecutors said she became pregnant, so he secretly arranged a marriage to protect himself from possible criminal charges, because a wife can’t be forced to testify against a husband.
“It’s clearly relevant and it clearly shows a motive for Racketeering Act Number One, so that is admissible,” U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly ruled.
One of the victims, Faith Rogers said she met the singer after a concert in San Antonio in 2017.
She claimed that Kelly sexually assaulted her in a hotel room two months after their first meeting alleging that it was “non-permissive, painful, and abusive sex” and that afterward, he criticized her for “lack of participation.”
In court documents, she stated: “Defendant, R. Kelly, locked Plaintiff in secluded areas including rooms, studios, and motor vehicles, for extended periods of time in order to punish Plaintiff for failing to please Defendant sexually and/or for perceived offenses and violations of his prescribed code of conduct.”
Rogers also said that he gave her alcohol despite her being underage and infected her with herpes after failing to disclose he had an STD.
In a previous interview with CBS News, she claimed that he told her to call him “Daddy,” and introduced her to one of the five women he was “raising.”
After Rodgers appeared in Surviving R. Kelly documentary, her lawyers claimed Kelly sent a notarized letter to a lawyer representing her, which contained compromising photos of her and said:
“If she persists in court action she will be subjected to public opinion,” and said Kelly would be able to get “10 personal male witnesses testifying about her sex life.”
When R Kelly was confronted by a Federal Grand Jury with the charges, he placed the blame on the Prince of Demons. Kelly told the courts:
“I blame the devil!”
On July 26, 2022, a Brooklyn, New York court found Kelly (55) guilty of all charges sending the disgraced singer to a lengthy prison sentence of 30 years.
R Kelly’s manager, Donell Russell also pleaded guilty to stalking, threatening, harassing, and blackmailing one of the victims in a desperate attempt to save his boss’s career and I’m sure, more importantly, his salary. Russell faces up to 5 years in prison and is awaiting sentencing on November 17, 2022.

666 is the number of the beast (666) in the New Testament and Christian numerology. It is mentioned only once in the Bible and is associated with the apocalypse and what Saint John calls “The Beast.”
The Book of Revelation 13:18-19 reads:
“Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Scholars of the Apocalypse agree that “no other problem in Revelation has given rise to so many speculations as that of the meaning of this number (666)”
The Bible does not give a definitive answer.
However, the association of 666 with the Beast, the devil, the Antichrist, and Satan is a long-standing one that has its roots in both Christianity and Judaism. Some Bible scholars say that the number stands for “the man of sin” who will deceive many and lead them astray.
Satan himself will one day come to power and rule over the world for a period known as the Tribulation. The Tribulation is said to be a time of great suffering, and those who do not know Christ will be subject to the Antichrist’s rule.
In modern times, some people have speculated that the mark could be a physical brand that identifies those who worship the beast. The prophecy has also been interpreted as meaning an identification device like bar codes and biometrics earlier but now it seems more likely that they are predicting some type of implantable chip for humans called “the number”
Today we have smart technology and biometrics to ID all citizens globally:
“Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead” (Rev 13:16).
This would also make it easier for the Beast or Satan to find and persecute his enemies.
Some Christians believe that 666 is a symbol of materialism and evil, and other people believe that it simply represents the imperfection of humanity. Some Bible scholars and esotericists believe that 666 is representative of man in his natural state – sinful and separated from God.
Meaning that 666 is the number for all of humanity, since man was created in God’s image.
Other people speculate that the mark could be a 666 tattoo or other physical markings that identify someone as being a follower of the beast.
For example, the Covid vaccine with governments around the world mandated forced vaccinations have been suggested to inject the mark into unsuspecting citizens under the guise of a pandemic. Perhaps, as some people say, there is a magnetizing substance hidden in vaccines such as graphene, which is magnetic and makes it easier for governments to track their citizens.
But what does 666 mean?
Whatever its origins, 666 has come to be widely recognized as a sign of man, sin, evil, and darkness. As far as people representing 666, the list is endless.
The most popular theory is that it refers to the emperor Nero, who was responsible for the burning of Rome in AD 64.
“The name ‘Nero Caesar’, written in its Greek form, yields the exact number 666”. This has led some to claim that Nero (who was Roman emperor from 54 until he died 68) was the Antichrist.
In 66, when Nero was emperor and the Jews revolted against Rome and coined their own money. The Greek word translated as a mark (of the beast), χάραγμα, also means stamped money or coin; “no one buys or sells without the money of the beast.”
He was responsible for persecuting Christians in Rome during his reign and may have even ordered their deaths by burning them alive inside a coliseum specially designed for this purpose (the Colossus). He also tried to rebuild Rome after it had been destroyed by fire in 64 AD.
Many Protestant theologians and authors such as Martin Luther and John Calvin identified the beast of Revelation 13 with the Roman Catholic Pope. Luther said that the “Pontifex Maximus” (Pope) was first considered uncontrollable about the year 666 A.D. Like Luther and Calvin, later Protestant writers identified the beast of Revelation 13 with the pope.
666 A.D. is the year when Wilfrid returns from France, newly consecrated as Bishop of York and the subsequent conversion of the Saxons from Paganism to Christianity. King Lucius is exhorted by Pope Eleutherius to prize the law of God far above the law of Caesar – “superior papal authority and dominion is derived from the law of the Caesars.”- Lucius Ferraris
One of the titles of the Pope is the “Vicar of Christ,” and in Latin “Vicarius Filii Dei.” In English, this means “Vicar of the Son of God” or “Substitute of the Son of God.”
As Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed in 1302 “Unum Sanctum”; “We, therefore, assert, define and pronounce that it is necessary to salvation to believe that every human being is subject to the Pontiff of Rome….. That which was spoken of Christ…
‘Thou hast subdued all things under His feet,’ may well seem verified in me. I have the authority of the King of kings. I am all in all and above all, so that God, Himself, and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do. What, therefore, can you make of me but God ?”
Boniface had feuded with Dante and excommunicated the French King Philip and several others from the church. Shortly after making the proclamation and excommunicating King Phillip, Boniface was imprisoned and beaten to death.
In his Inferno, Dante portrayed Boniface as destined for hell and recalls the story of the pontiff’s feud with the Colonna family, which led him to destroy the city of Palestrina, killing 6,000 citizens and demolishing both the home of Julius Caesar and a shrine to Mary.
Other candidates for the Beast include Caligula and Charlemagne and as time moved on, more people and suspects have been added to the list by authors and speculators. People like Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, John Kennedy, Sun Myung Moon, Mikhail Gorbachev, Henry Kissinger, and the US President with 6 letters in each of his names, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Entities such as The World Bank, The Ecumenical Movement, The Council on Foreign Relations, The United Nations, The European Community, The Trilateral Commission, and one of the newest conspiracies is the mysterious CERN and all the weird events surrounding this agency.
Again, the list goes on and on…
However, the facts are that up until recent times, only trusted scholars and Fathers of the Church were trusted with the translations and interpretations of the Scripture.
When we study the traditional literature of the early church in which Saint John was involved, we see a common Apocalyptic theme among all Biblical scholars. This is the ancient struggle for world supremacy between the Greeks in the East and the Romans in the West and the priests, spies, leaders, and philosophers who defined them.
If we follow early tradition, we will see that many early Church commentators like Ireneaus believed that the Beast and the number 666 were connected with the Ancient Roman Empire (Latin).
One of the earliest commentators on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John, Saint Irenaeus proposed the Greek word “lateinos” in connection with the name and number of the beast. The letters found in “lateinos” add up to 666, which means in English, “Latin man.”
The Latin Empire was intended to replace the Byzantine Empire as the Western-recognized Roman Empire in the east, with a Catholic emperor enthroned in place of the Eastern Orthodox Roman emperors. The “Roman Empire” encompasses the history of the Romans from the origins of the Empire in approximately 45 BC.
The Greek Byzantines referred to the Latin Empire as the Frankokratia (Greek: Φραγκοκρατία, lit. “rule of the Franks”) or the Latinokratia (Λατινοκρατία, lit. “rule of the Latins”). It was at the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 during the Crusades and the institution of the Latin Empire under the Knights Templar and the installation of Baldwin of Flanders as “emperor” in 1204, until the Byzantines retook Constantinople in 1261.
Saint Victorinus of Pettau was an Early Christian ecclesiastical writer who flourished in about 270 AD. Victorinus associates the number 666 with Phoebus, also known as Apollo, an angel of light and knowledge in Greek and Roman mythology. Victorinus’ account diverges from the traditional line of thought associating 666 purely with evil and instead believed it was a “Apollo Helios” who is cut off from the light and then transforms himself into an angel of light.
He wrote in Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John;
“In Hellenistic times, especially during the 3rd century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun.
His number is the name of a man, and his number is Six hundred three score and six.” As they have it reckoned from the Greek characters, they thus find it among many to be τειταν [teitan], for τειταν [teitan] has this number, which the Gentiles call Sol and Phoebus; and it is reckoned in Greek thus: τ three hundred, ε five, ι ten, τ three hundred, α one, ν fifty,—which taken together become six hundred and sixty-six.
For as far as belongs to the Greek letters, they fill up this number and name; which name if you wish to turn into Latin, is understood by the antiphrase DICLUX, which letters are reckoned in this manner: since D figures five hundred, I one, C a hundred, L fifty, V five, X ten,—which by the reckoning up of the letters makes similarly six hundred and sixty-six, that is, what in Greek gives τειταν [teitan], to wit, what in Latin is called DICLUX; by which name, expressed by anti-phrases, we understand Antichrist, who, although he be cut off from the supernal light, and deprived thereof, yet transforms himself into an angel of light, daring to call himself light. (Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John)
Swedish Christian theologian, scientist, and philosopher, Emmanuel Swedenborg believed that the mark of the beast received on the forehead or the right hand (Revelation 13:16) “signifies the acknowledgment of being a Reformed Christian, and confession that he is so” and “the name of the beast signifies the quality of the doctrine.” (The Heavenly Doctrines 1758)
Swedenborg said that the number of the beast signifies the quality of the confirmation of doctrine and faith from the Word among them. Six hundred and sixty six signifies every truth of good, and as this is said of the Word, it signifies every truth of good in the Word, here the same falsified, because it is the number of the beast. The number six hundred and sixty six is used, because that number six is tripled, and triplication completes.”
Christian author, Tom Horn says: “[m]any Christians believe that, before long, an antichrist system will appear. It will be a New World Order, under which national boundaries dissolve, and ethnic groups, ideologies, religions, and economics from around the world, orchestrate a single and dominant sovereignty…
According to popular Biblical interpretation, a single personality will surface at the head of the utopian administration… With imperious decree the Antichrist will facilitate a one-world government, universal religion, and globally monitored socialism. Those who refuse his New World Order will inevitably be imprisoned or destroyed,” Horn said.
As you can see, just like many alleged figures in history may be the Beast, there are almost as many theories among religious scholars and authors. However, a few common themes appear with most of them.
First of all, the Beast will be a man connected to the Tribe of Dan, the Latin Empire, the Franks (French), and Rome.
This man will be associated with a person who is mostly called the “Antichrist” and sometimes by the name Satan whose rule or governmental system will come in the so-called end days of the days of Revelation.
It will be a New World Order. What appears to be a global Socialist empire.
Saint Hippolytus (born c. 170—died c. 235) understands the fourth kingdom of Daniel as Rome. Hippolytus wrote in his “Treatise on Christ and Antichrist”;
“By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the kingdom of Antichrist; and by the two horns, he means him and the false prophet after him. And in speaking of “the horns being like a lamb,” he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king.
And the terms, “he spake like a dragon,” mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful. And the words, “he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed,” signify that, after the manner of the law of Augustus, by whom the empire of Rome was established, he too will rule and govern, sanctioning everything by it, and taking greater glory to himself.
For this is the fourth beast, whose head was wounded and healed again, in its being broken up or even dishonored, and partitioned into four crowns; and he then (Antichrist) shall with knavish skill heal it, as it were, and restore it.”
This commentary by Hippolytus is interesting because modern-day Russia is sometimes referred to by the Russians themselves as the Third Rome.
As if they were the current torchbearers of the Ceasars. An empire that may have never ended.
For the last few years, the most observant Orthodox Church leaders in Russia have been protesting against the use of “satanic figures”, such as the “internet, smartphones, tax code, and Covid.”
Recently on September 30, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over a ceremony at the Kremlin to annex four Ukrainian regions partly occupied by his military forces.
During the 37-minute address, Putin decried “Satanism” in the West and U.S., referring to a radical denial of moral, religious, and family norms as well as transgender issues.
The overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism,” Putin proclaimed.
In January 2019, Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church proclaimed that the Antichrist was here and would eventually rule the entire human race over the worldwide internet web. He said, “The Antichrist is the person who will be at the head of the worldwide web, controlling all of humankind.”
“That means that the structure itself poses a danger. There shouldn’t be a single center, at least not in the foreseeable future, if we don’t want to bring on the apocalypse.”
“Every time you use your gadget, whether you like it or not, whether you turn on your location or not, somebody can find out exactly where you are, exactly what your interests are, and exactly what you are scared of,” Kirill continued. “Such control from one place forebodes the coming of the Antichrist.”
The “devil acts very wisely” in offering people such a “toy”, he said.
In May 2020, the bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church and the most authoritative member of the Moscow Synod, Metropolitan Ilarion (Alfeev), conveyed similar revelations about the time we are living;
“There is, alongside the hypotheses of biological warfare, also the possibility of bio-psychological warfare, when trying to instill fear in the population, to control it in a more radical way, “Ilarion told the Rossija-24 TV channel. He, therefore, called for the development of “strong immunity not only physically, but also spiritually, in the strength of mind”.
Valentina Pashenko, president of the “Committee in defense of the family and morality” in Voronezh, denounces the use of biometric fingerprints to enter bank and government buildings and rejects electronic texts.
Speaking to the BBC in April 2019, Valentina said that “when all personal data will be stored in one system, evil people will be able to exclude any unwanted person from the system”.
“First pensions and then all other information about the person, his property, social rights, data on the family and children, school and medical data, salaries: the whole life of the individual will be inserted into an electronic number”,
Pashenko warns, “it is like the mark of the Stalinist camps, where our grandparents were sent”.
Conclusion
So what does 666 mean?
Whether you believe in biblical prophecies or not, it’s fascinating to consider the deeper meaning behind this mysterious number.
One thing is for sure, the meaning of 666 is not entirely clear. It could represent Rome, the Pope, the Antichrist, or Satan himself.
Hell, maybe it is all of the above.

The award-winning former war correspondent, Lara Logan was interviewed on October 2022 by Newsmax host Eric Bolling, who anchors a show called “The Balance.” Logan was asked to be interviewed to discuss global elites and their favoritism toward leftist policies.
When Bolling questioned Logan about the situation along the Mexican border with large groups of undocumented migrants crossing into the United States, she went on to describe how the global elites dine on the blood of children and are the servants of Satan.
Logan said;
“God believes in sovereignty, and national identity, and the sanctity of family, and all the things that we’ve lived with from the beginning of time.”
“And he knows that the open border is Satan’s way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and his servants.”
She also claimed: “And they may think that they’re going to become gods. That’s what they tell us. You’ve all known [historian Yuval Noah] Harari and all the rest of them at the World Economic Forum.
“You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children?”
Logan added: “Those are the people, right? They’re not gonna win. They’re not going to win.”
After the interview, Newsmax and the rest of the liberal media condemned the award-winning journalist.
“Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network.”
Before Logan’s appearance on Newsmax, she was a frequent contributor to the Fox News’ streaming service, Fox Nation, but was no longer brought on the show and dropped by her talent agency after a November 2021 appearance on “Fox News Primetime” when she compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to the infamous German Nazi known as the “Angel of Death,” Dr. Josef Mengele.
Logan said;
“This is what people say to me, is that he doesn’t represent science to them — he represents Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.”
About a week after all the controversy, Lara Logan was interviewed by former Newsmax anchor, Emerald Robinson’s show called The Absolute Truth where Logan doubled down on her accusations against the global elite.
Robinson kicked off the interview by saying, “the truth has been out there for years” to support Logan’s claim that liberal elites feast on children’s blood.
In the interview, Lara Logan said:
“The reason I believe that people reacted that way is it’s all about the children. The question they don’t want us asking is where are all the missing children?”
“What happens to these children? How can hundreds of thousands of kids go missing in the United States every year and nobody knows where they are? They just vanish? I don’t think so,” she said. “Every sex trafficking ring worldwide knows, bring the kids to the United States that this administration is participating in the trafficking of kids!”
She also stated that Child Protective Services was “directly involved” in kidnapping large numbers of young children for the past 20 years and using them in “sex rings,” “snuff videos” and child pornography.
Logan exclaimed:
“This administration is participating in the trafficking of kids! They’re paying companies, LLCs and non-profits, and church groups. They’re paying them to take these kids and disappear them.”
Referencing a news segment that Robinson presented at the beginning of the interview, Logan claimed that the “blood of young children [is] the secret to anti-aging” before asking, “And why does nobody ask, where does the blood come from?”
“How do you get the blood of young children? And does it matter if the children are younger and younger and younger? So now you’re talking about the blood of babies now? Is that what you’re talking about?”

In response to a recent rise in Satanism across Ukraine, the Russian government has officially announced plans for an upcoming military operation that will target Satanists.
Alexei Pavlov, Assistant Secretary of the Security Council Russia in an interview with “ Arguments and Facts” called for “desatanization” of Ukraine during a special military operation (SVO).
Pavlov specifically names the Church of Satan in the U.S. as having influence and believes that the exact number of Satanic sects in Ukraine is unknown, but “the number is in the hundreds.”
He believes that the Orthodox Church in Ukraine has been targeted by enemies who want to “reformat the minds” of Ukrainians and convert people from Christianity.
The article is dated October 25 2022 on the TASS.ru website with the title “В аппарате Совбеза РФ считают все более насущным проведение “десатанизации” Украины.”
Translated by Google, it reads in English:
The apparatus of the Security Council of the Russian Federation considers it increasingly urgent to carry out “desatanization” of Ukraine
“Assistant Secretary of the Security Council Oleksiy Pavlov pointed out that the “Church of Satan”, which has spread across Ukraine, is one of the religions officially registered in the United States”
MOSCOW, 25 October [2022]. /TASS/. The “desatanization” of Ukraine, where hundreds of sects now operate, is becoming increasingly urgent, said Aleksey Pavlov, assistant secretary of the Russian Security Council, in an article for aif.ru.
“I believe that with the continuation of the special military operation, it becomes more and more urgent to carry out the de-Satanization of Ukraine, or, as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov aptly put it, its “complete de-Satanization,” he noted.
Pavlov specifically pointed out that the “Church of Satan”, which “spread across Ukraine,” is “one of the officially registered religions in the United States.”
“Is it any wonder that in 2015 in Kyiv a group of pagans broke and desecrated a worship cross erected for the 1000th anniversary of the repose of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir, the Baptist of Russia,” he asked.
In a recent interview, Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechen Republic has called their intervention in Ukraine a Jihad. He argued that “they want to humiliate and divide Russia, to defile faith and culture, “so that we don’t have any identity and not a single family value”, while in Europe now “Satanism is openly operating” and “Satanic democracy”.
“We are in Kievan Rus’ (Ukraine) for jihhad, joint war of Islam and Eastern Christianity against satanism. Necessary all Umma understand that Orthodox Christians, here in Russia, are our brothers and sisters. Allah is my witness. Common enemy is sheitan aka NATO.” – Ramzan Kadyrov
On Januray 1, 2022, The Institute of Religion and Politics reported;
State Duma deputy Aleksey Chepa (SR faction) sent a letter to Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov with a proposal to ban the ideology of Satanism and Satanist organizations in the Russian Federation, according to an IRP source in Okhotny Ryad.
In the request, the deputy indicates that recently in Russia there is more and more data on the activation of destructive ideologies, including cults , which carry a high public danger. This alarming trend has been especially evident since the beginning of the special military operations of Russian troops.
The greatest threat comes from Satanism. This is the worship of evil, the deliberate violation by the adepts of the Divine commandments in order to satisfy the object of their religious worship.
There is reason to believe, MP Chepa notes, that the US State Department is using the ideology of Satanism as a tool for fulfilling its tasks in a number of countries, including in the Ukrainian direction.
It is set forth in the “Bible of Satan” by Anton Szandor LaVey (1930-1997), the founder of the “Church of Satan”. The symbol of this organization is the statue of the demon Baphomet (pictured).
The text of the book “The Bible of Satan” , published in an edition of 166 copies, Ancient City: Society for the Creation of Death, 2009, 666 pages, was recognized as extremist material by the decision of the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg on October 19, 2021.
It contains calls for violent actions against those people who are not adherents of Satanism. This, allegedly, is the reason for their “inferiority”, and Satanists proclaim their imaginary exclusivity and superiority over others.
In the Russian Federation , the followers of Satanism began to actively manifest themselves since 1992 , especially among young people and the ultra-right .
Now there are about 5 thousand Satanists in the country . They are part of a network structure of several cells that are not registered with the justice authorities . Despite the small number, their activity is the most destructive in comparison with other destructive ideologies.
Since 1996, according to open sources, Satanists have committed more than 150 crimes. Among them: murder, desecration of corpses, cruelty to animals, hooliganism, vandalism, the organization of extremist communities and associations that encroach on the lives of citizens,” Aleksey Chepa said.
In May 2022, Russia said the Ukraine used “black magic” at an abandoned military headquarters in the Donetsk region against invading forces to thwart President Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
The RIA Novosti report said “signs” of satanic seals were found after which they published images showing pentagrams and other markings clearly visible inside this former Ukrainian Army base.”
Sputnik reported that “traces of black magic rituals” had been discovered at an abandoned Ukrainian military headquarters in the Donbas where a “magic seal of dark forces” had been found on the wall.
Some people in the West may laugh thinking that this Russian campaign against Satanists is a joke, but the real devil lies in the details.
The Russians equate radical (far left, neoliberal) liberalism as being a destructive ideology that is synonymous with Satanism. They go hand and hand.
It is this ideology being promoted by global elites that they believe seeks to destroy their traditional values, the family, the Christian religion, and the world. Russian believes this is a formal war if not only for ideas and control, but for your very soul against the armies of hell.
As Orthodox Archpriest Alexander Novopashim said:, “Satanism” is really a synonym for entropy, or “the Evil that dissolves societies like a hydra with its many tentacles”. The “real evil” being imported eastwards is not Beelzebub or Baal, but “radical liberalism”, which is far more dangerous to a nation’s soul.
According to Aleksandr Dugin, “Everyone who sympathizes with liberals, [the dissident all-female punk band] Pussy Riot and the West belongs to Satan. This is the Army of Hell.”
RUSSIA AND CHRISTIANITY
Russian President Vladmir Putin has declared his Christain faith throughout his presidency in a country where over 70% of its citizens are Christian.
Recently on September 30, 2022, President Putin presided over a ceremony at the Kremlin to annex four Ukrainian regions partly occupied by his military forces.
During the 37-minute address, Putin decried “Satanism” in the West and U.S., referring to a radical denial of moral, religious, and family norms as well as transgender issues.
Putin said;
“The repression of freedom is taking on the outlines of a ‘reverse religion,’ of real Satanism,” he said, adding that the open attitudes toward gender identity are a “denial of man.”
In a question posed to “all citizens of Russia,” he asked, “Do we really want to see perversions that lead to degradation and extinction be imposed on children in our schools from the earliest years, for it to be drilled into them that there are supposedly some genders besides women and men, and offered the chance to undergo sex-change operations?”
Putin further stated;
“Now they have moved on entirely, to a radical denial of moral norms, religion, and family …
“The dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves. This is a challenge to all.
This is a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism,” Putin proclaimed.
In Russia, the Orthodox Church and State have come to symbolize Moscow’s central role in the geopolitical sphere as the defender of Traditional Christian values.
Russia’s role in this spiritual war was solidified this week during a two day event held in Moscow on the theme “Orthodoxy and Peace in the 21st Century.”
At the event, Putin had commented on “the enormous, colossal contribution that the Russian Orthodox Church, representatives of all traditional religions of Russia, makes to the unity of society, to the preservation of spiritual, moral, family ideals and values, to the preservation of our historical memory and identity, to the education of young people. and, of course, patriotic organizations such as the World Russian People’s Council.”
A quote from the Patriarch Kirill is illustrative of this point:
“The future of mankind directly depends on what it chooses: the traditional values and spiritual experience of many generations, reflected in the cultural matrix, or the secular universalism of the New Age, based on the indulgence of human passions…
And our resistance to all these destructive tendencies is an increase in our faith, this is loyalty to our traditions, this is love for the Fatherland, this is concern for its spiritual and material well-being.
And as long as our Fatherland remains this island of freedom, the rest of the world will also have some sign of hope for the opportunity to change the course of history and prevent a global apocalyptic end — at least to move it into that perspective with which none of us connects either our lives or the lives of our immediate descendants.” – said the Patriarch.
On the first day of the event, Deputy Head of the ARNS Konstantin Malofeev outlined the main ideolgies and methods in which Russia, The Third Rome will preserve the world from evil and promote Tradtional Christian values.
Malofeev said;
“1) Ideology. We are an Orthodox country, the Third Rome, Katechon, which keeps the world from evil. And this should finally be reflected in the Constitution of the Russian State.
2) Education. Three bases. Maximum emphasis on teaching Russian history. Worldview education on traditional values. And a complete ban on gadgets in schools.
3) Charity. Our food fund “Rus” and the fund “For Victory” are doing everything to help soldiers, refugees and all those in need. The state is moving forward, but for greater efficiency it is important to change the legislation. VRNS will certainly make its proposals.
4) Youth. Young people have no right to think in the spirit of Upper Lars. For this, it is not necessary to go to the front as volunteers. The main thing is to prevent what happened at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University or happens at the Higher School of Economics. We must do everything to create an atmosphere of zero tolerance for betrayal.
5) Socio-economic sphere. Russia, free from transnational corporations and relying on its own productive forces, can not only exist independently, but flourish. And since the beginning of the NWO, there is simply no other way.
6) Family policy. It’s time to stop churning out infantiles with meaningless high school crusts. We need to restore the prestige of vocational education. By the age of 20, a young man may well get a specialty and start a family. And the state should help him with a preferential mortgage with partial repayment at the birth of each child.”
In a speech at the World Russian National Assembly (October 25, 2022), Professor Alexandr Dugin claimed that this is warfare of the spiirt with the angelic armies in Heaven against Hell.
Dugin had said:
We are, of course, in a very real war. This war is not only a war of armies, of men, it is also a war of the spirit.
This is very important.
We can say this: we see a horizontal confrontation – our army/our opponents, us against NATO (of course, not against Ukraine, needless to say).
But there is another dimension to this war – the vertical.
It is a war of Heaven against Hell.
It is a war of the angelic armies.
It is a war of the army of the Archangel Michael against the devil.
This vertical dimension is ideology, the realm of ideas.
It is the realm of the spirit in which this war, its main substance, unfolds.
And the speech of our president on September 30 spoke to the satanic nature of the Western civilization.
This is not a metaphor.”
Dugin further stated:
“In this respect, it is very important that we are confronted with an idea.
The West is an ideology. Liberalism, globalism, secularism, and posthumanism are ideology.
This is the realm of ideas, not the realm of matter, bodies and technology.
Above all, it is an absolute lie: it is the overturning of the true proportions of the mind, of ideas, of religious foundations.
That is why two ideas, two armies (because angels are spirits and minds) are colliding today: angels and demons. The battlefield is just Ukraine.
On the one hand, we are Holy Russia, as His Holiness the Patriarch says, and we are confronted by forces of absolute global historical evil.
Hence, more and more often we are talking about Armageddon, the end times, and the Apocalypse.
This is all taking place before our eyes.
We are taking part in the final (maybe the penultimate – no one knows) and very important battle.
Without a spiritual, ideological, intellectual dimension, we cannot win.”
