In one of the first major Satanic music events in America, 300,000 anonymous bodies gathered together over the weekend on December 6, 1969. They were there to see some of their favorite rock bands creating an instant pop-up city at the Altamont Speedway in Livermore, California. A dusty little town located deep in the inland desert in-between San Francisco and San Jose long before the Techno-Titans of Silicone Valley arrived.
Most of the young people in attendance were openly consuming hard-core drugs and alcohol, while people ran around nude, openly having sex in front of total strangers before the first band hit the stage. Makeshift fences surrounded the concert area as cheap bottles of red wine spiked with bad LSD, and mescaline made their rounds.
When someone asked what was in the wine, a freaky big blonde guy with a fat mustache, tight blue jeans, and wire-rimmed glasses said, “It’s got two tabs of mescaline in it. Organic. Good stuff, too. We put it in this morning,” as he took a big swig of the Red Mountain Vin Rose.
Many of the concert-goers were upset the wine was spiked with hard drugs. They had not intended to take their minds to another planet, but it was too late. Once they swallowed the first drink, they were already traveling deep into the organic abyss within minutes.
It was just after noon on Saturday as the bands were starting to arrive in their chartered helicopters on a temporary runway on the asphalt pit area of the Altamont racetrack. Finally, at about a quarter to 3 pm, a helicopter carrying the Rolling Stones along with their entourage touched down.
A confused blonde chick running towards the chaos said in her raspy voice to her girlfriend, “Who is it? Who is it?’ Her teen friend, barely able to contain herself, exclaimed in religious type fervor, “It’s Mick Jagger! It’s Mick Jagger!”
Immediately, the doped-up crowd of approximately 500 people went into a complete frenzy. Within seconds, they turned into a dangerous mob who had quickly scaled a hill and nearby fence, rushing toward the copter, almost crushing one of the Stones and some of his escorts. Their security team tried to fend off the mad horde, but the band and their crew were swallowed in a sea of mayhem.
But not everyone was so happy to see the Stones.
Some guy on a mission quickly broke through the sea of panting females shouting, “I hate you, I hate you!” and reared back, punching the singer right in the face. Jaggers Great Welcome to Satanic America and set the stage for one of the craziest nights in rock and roll history.
Ronnie Schneider, the Rolling Stones’ 1969 US tour manager, had said after the event, “We’re walking off the helicopter, and a guy jumps up and punches Mick [Jagger] in the face. The guy was just out of his mind, punched Mick in the mouth, and I wanted to kill the guy. And Mick’s like, ‘Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him.’ That’s when we knew we had a problem.”
Yes, it was complete chaos, but as they say, the show must go on.
The stage was only about 3 1/2 feet high, and Jefferson Airplane’s performance was soon engulfed by a chaotic crowd of more than 300,000 who were held back by the Hells Angels, who viciously guarded the stage with pool cues, fists, and their boots. Hell, they had a bunch of people high on LSD like this naked fat man who tried to work his way up to the stage, stepping on grossed-out people, while under the guise of dance.
One of the opening bands, Jefferson Airplane, was unprepared for the violence that was unfolding. Apparently, the singer, Marty Balin, pissed off one of the Hells Angels on stage, who then grabbed the singer dragging him down into the crowd as he and other Angels ruthlessly beat him unconscious.
When Crosby Stills and Nash hit the stage, the crowd’s energy and violence were reaching its peak. Again, the singer would do something to upset the Angels, which would result in Stephen Stills being stabbed multiple times in the leg.
“We did a partial set because [co-lead singer] Marty Balin got dragged into the audience and pummeled by one of the Hells Angels,” said Casady. “We were trying to keep it together as our lead singer was on the ground getting beat up. There was pushing and shoving going on during our set by various elements onstage. There was no protection onstage. It had gotten so out of hand and chaotic … but we played a number of songs before we stopped.”
According to former Angels Los Angeles President and author, George Christie, said that Hells Angels Paul “Animal” Hibbits knocked out Airplane singer Marty Balin who had disrespected him.
“Some people should leave their clothes on in public. (In reference to the photo above) It quickly spun out of control, Rock Scully Grateful Dead manager told me Jagger insisted that the Jefferson Airplane play early in the day with several band performances between each of their sets, there was a concern they would outperform the Stones.
That performance would end the friendship between the Angels and the Airplane when Sweet William challenged Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane on stage when he complained to the audience that Hells Angels Paul “Animal” Hibbits knocked out Airplane singer Marty Balin who had disrespected him,” Christie said.
After seeing the bloodshed, the Grateful Dead refused to go on stage due to safety concerns.
The concert management decided to postpone the Rolling Stones for a few hours until the evening, which only caused more alcohol and drugs to be consumed as the tension grew higher. But, unfortunately, no one knew that the worst was still to come.
As the night rolled in, small fires lit up the night sky blazing from trash cans as the shadows of people danced against the landscape reminiscent of the old fires of Baal. With the stench of smoke rising from the rotting trash permeating the night air, like demons rising from the depths of hell, the Rollin Stones would hit the stage with Jagger dressed in a black and red cape as if he was some Satanic High Priest giving a sermon on the Devil as the young girls listened intently.
By then, some of the Angels were also high out of their minds on bad acid and few others appeared to try to keep their fellow gang members in check.
As soon as the Stones hit the stage, it caused another massive crowd frenzy with Jagger’s sexual magnetization magic mixed in with his singing, putting many women under his creepy spell.
An eyewitness said he saw a young mother in a blue blouse and skirt pushed violently through the crowd carrying her baby, who must have been only a few months old in one hand well ahead of her husband as if a demonic spirit possessed her. She was there to see her favorite idol, Mick Jagger, the singer of the Rolling Stones.
The mother was probably high on drugs and possessed by her idol’s dark energies, becoming unaware of reality as she unknowingly dropped her baby onto the ground amidst the crowd of stomping feet. A Hells Angel attempting to manage the sea of doped-up maniacs and protect the stage had inadvertently stepped on her poor baby’s head with his oil-stained biker boots. She didn’t even notice, nor lose stride. The baby would allegedly survive the incident, but many other people wouldn’t be so lucky.
When the mayhem broke out, Keith Richards was unprepared for the violence of the American crowd who seemed to make their British rock counterparts look relatively tame. Richards had said of the event;
“The violence just in front of the stage was incredible.
Looking back I don’t think it was a good idea to have Hell’s Angels there. But we had them at the suggestion of the Grateful Dead. The trouble is it’s a problem for us either way.
If you don’t have them to work for you as stewards, they come anyway and cause trouble. But to be fair, out of the whole 300 Angels working as stewards, the vast majority did what they were supposed to do, which was to regulate the crowds as much as possible without causing any trouble.”
Richards concluded, “But there were about 10 or 20 who were completely out of their minds — trying to drive their motorcycles through the middle of the crowds. Really, the difference between the open-air show we held here in Hyde Park and the one there is amazing.
I think it illustrates the difference between the two countries. In Hyde Park, everybody had a good time, and there was no trouble. You can put half a million young English people together, and they won’t start killing each other. That’s the difference,” he said.
After the Stones opened with “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” the crowd went into a total frenzy. Jagger had pleaded for the audience to “be cool,” but it fell on deaf ears. Meanwhile, Meredith Curly Hunter, Jr. (nicknamed Murdock), an 18-year-old African-American with a big Afro from Berkeley, CA, attending the concert with his white girlfriend — tried to push his way onto the stage.
As the Stones played “Under My Thumb,” Hunter perched himself on a speaker box next to the stage when the confrontation had begun.
Hunter was violently pushed back from the stage by the Hells Angels. He became furious over the incident, so he stupidly pulled a gun.
A 21-year-old Hells Angel named Alan Passaro standing behind the melee had seen Hunter pull his gun. He quickly pulled a hidden knife from his boot and plunged into his back as he grasped his other arm holding the gun.
Still from ‘Gimme Shelter’ film about the Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont Speedway, December 1969.
Almost immediately, several other angry Angels pounced on Hunter, striking him all about the body and head unmercifully.
Within seconds, Hunter bled to death just twenty feet in front of the stage where the Stones were performing “Under My Thumb.”
Hunter was stabbed at least four times and repeatedly kicked in the head. As he lay dying, he reportedly told his attackers that he did not intend to shoot anyone.
“Hunter gets pushed back down by a Hells Angel, and he gets back up in the Hells Angel’s face. That’s when he starts getting his ass kicked — several Angels beat on him — and he falls back and comes up with a gun in his hand. Several feet away, Alan Passaro, who’s a San Jose chapter member, sees all this going down, he grabs a knife out of his ankle scabbard, and he stabs Hunter in the neck and back four times.”
A concertgoer who was a witness to Meredith Hunter’s death, Paul Cox, was standing right beside him before he was killed. He was a witness at Passaro’s murder trial. Author, Stanley Booth’s 1984 Dance With The Devil, later republished as The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones, had told about what Paul Cox witnessed to the grand jury at Passaro’s murder trial and Rolling Stone magazine. Here is Paul Cox’s eyewitness testimony;
“An Angel, he’s hassling this Negro on the side of me, reached over and shook this Negro by the side of the head, thinking it was funny, and I knew something was going to happen. The next thing I know he was flying in the air, just like all the other people it happened to.
He scrambled to his feet and he’s backing up trying to run and all these Angels jumped off the stage, and his girlfriend was screaming to him not to shoot because he pulled out a gun, and his girlfriend is like on him and pushing him back and he’s trying to get away and these Angels are coming at him and he turns around and starts running.
And then some Angel snuck up from right out of the crowd and leaped up and brought his knife down in his back. And then I saw him stab him again, and while he’s stabbing him the guy is running. This Negro boy is running into the crowd and you could see him stiffen up when he’s being stabbed.
The Hell’s Angel grabbed onto both of his shoulders and started kicking him in the face and he fell down. He grabbed one of those garbage cans, the cardboard ones with the metal rimming, and smashed him over the head with it and then he kicked the garbage can out of the way and started kicking his head in. Kicked him all over the place.
And then the guy that started the whole thing stood on his head for a minute or so and then walked off. And then the one I was talking about, he wouldn’t let us touch him. He said, “Don’t touch him, he’s going to die anyway, let him die.”
We turned him over and ripped off his shirt, rubbed his back up and down to get the blood off so we could see and there was a big hole on the side and there was a hole in his spine and there was a big hole in his temple. All of us trying to help were drenched in blood,” Cox said.
Unaware of the murder, the Stones completed their set, bringing an end to a live blood ritual that also saw three accidental deaths and four live births.
Alan Passaro was the only Hells Angel arrested and charged with murder. However, Passaro never went to prison. The jury ruled that he’d acted in self-defense due to the fact that Hunter pulled a gun on the Hells Angels.
To stupidly pull a gun on one of the most violent gangs in the world was not only a suicide mission; it was self-sacrifice to the Sympathy Symphony of the Devil.
Hunter was rumored to be a member of a “street gang” called the East Bay Executors and a drug user. Methamphetamine was found during the autopsy in his bloodstream. It is no surprise he made such devilish choices because he had an extremely rough childhood.
Hunter’s mother was a prostitute that had schizophrenia, according to Joel Selvin. Hunter was named after his father, a Native American who abandoned the family when he was young. Due to his mother’s mental illness, his older sister took responsibility for raising him. Sevin had written that he started getting in trouble with the law when he was 11, and spent much of his teen years in juvenile hall.
Joel Selvin had also written that Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones had a big part in managing the event, and it was their arrogance, greed, ignorance, and naivete caused the mayhem and deaths. Selvin claimed that Jagger wanted to keep all proceeds from a video documentary film of the event called Gimme Shelter, which he reportedly hoped would make their band bigger than the Beatles.
According to Selvin, Jagger had vetoed playing at a much safer venue made for such events in Sonoma County, where he wouldn’t be able to retain all the film’s distribution rights, so they decided to hold it at the Altamont Race Track. Selvin said the Rolling Stones had used the film, Gimme Shelter to help absolve themselves of any wrongdoing while demonizing the Hells Angels and barely mentioning any involvement by the other bands like the Grateful Dead.
In the ensuing days after the concert, the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger had attempted to deflect attention from themselves by claiming they never hired the Hells Angels as security and vowed that he would never use them again. However, in searching this claim, I have found several original posters of the concert that list the Hells Angels as security, so Mick Jagger was lying to save face due to the media scrutiny.
In fact, many of the original posters online have been changed with the newer versions having no mention of the Hells Angels.
Understandably, the Hells Angels were outraged with the Stones, knowing that Jagger had sold them out to the media, they had vowed to settle the score. Former FBI agent Mark Young had claimed in an interview they intended to get their revenge by killing Jagger. Not just once, but on four separate occasions. (BBC The FBI at 100 via the New York Times)
According to Young, it didn’t happen because bad weather intervened. “Their plan involved making entry into his Long Island property, going by boat,” he recalled. “As they gathered the weaponry and their forces to go out on Long Island Sound, a storm rolled up, which nearly sunk the watercraft they were in, and they escaped with their own lives.”
The Hells Angels dropped their beef after the alleged attempts to kill Jagger because they agreed to pay for the club’s legal fees they incurred while defending Alan Passaro’s murder rap, according to former LA Chapter President, George Christie.
“The entire afternoon was filled with bad drug trips and violence ending with the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter by Hells Angel Alan Passaro when Hunter pointed a gun at the stage. Alan was not held responsible for the death in a court of law.”
Christie said, “This also created a decade of conflict between the Stones and the Hells Angels that ended with the Stones ultimately paying for the legal fees the club Incurred defending Alan.
After the matter with the Stones was settled the club extended an olive branch to the Airplane to resolve the misunderstanding at Altamont, but word came back to the club the Airplane felt there was no reason to reconcile and it best to leave things stand. This was brought up at the west coast officer’s meeting and became part of the minutes,” he said.
The Stones also would eventually settle a lawsuit with the Hunter family for a reported $10,000. As for the Hells Angel who killed the man, Alan Passaro was found dead in a lake with over $10,000 in his pocket. Obviously, it was a hit and not a robbery.
Recently, Mick Jagger made media headlines again for having a child at such an old age with his new flame- 34-year-old Ballerina and Producer, Melanie Hamrick. You have to wonder if she would have been with Jagger if he didn’t have all the fame and money.
I don’t know about you, but something tells me not in a million years in Hell!
At 78 years old, while looking old, tired, and frail, he still appears to be fit and going strong in the Satanic lifestyle he has embraced since the 1960s. However, most likely with fewer drugs but still a lot of Viagra induced premarital sex and rock and roll.
You have to wonder if maybe Jagger and the drug-addicted Keith Richards have been protected all these years for having Sympathy for the Devil. But more importantly, all the souls they have delivered to his cause via their music easily surpassing the most ruthless biker gang in history, the Hells Angels, while also dodging their bullets without even knowing.
For Heaven’s sake, even the Great Satan likes a good song!
“Sympathy For The Devil” by The Rolling Stones
Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Lyrics:
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith
I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What’s puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
“Who killed the Kennedys?”
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Well, get down, hit it
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusin’ you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, mmm yeah
But what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game

The Process Church of the Final Judgment emerged from the 1960s London Counter Culture. Its founders, two former Scientologists, Robert de Grimston, and Mary Ann MacLean, combined a weird mix of Satanism, Scientology, Sex, and Christianity, mashing it all into their own thriving business that became a famous global Cult.
The founders had met while both were enrolled in the Church of Scientology, which was operated by the former secret society member of the Ordo Templi Orientis’ (O.T.O.), L. Ron Hubbard. As a result, they would incorporate several of Scientology’s techniques, such as the E-meter, into the Process teachings early on.
As I explained in my article, Rocket Scientist Jack Parson’s and Scientology’s Ron Hubbard’s Satanic Adventures, Hubbard had learned black magic while in Aleister Crowley’s O.T.O. that he used later to invent the Church of Scientology. The Process Church was just another manifestation of the same Satanic stream that created the O.T.O. and then helped from some of the ideas for the Chruch of Scientology.
Hell, even these magicians knew that when something works, copy it, change a few teachings, and tenants, repackage it with a new name, and you can create a Cult that makes you appear to the profane like some sort of genius or even Satan himself.
The Process Church of the Final Judgment members walked around in black robes with hoods with Goat of Mendes patches preaching the coming Apocalypse, and that humanity was evil – the spawn of the Devil. They also liked to have dogs. Very big and mean dogs. Real hell hounds.
Their message was gloom and death mixed with sex, which was the opposite of the flower power generation and tie-die flower power’ resistance that became the main message for the 1960s peace movement.
The Process ran a London coffeehouse known as Satan’s Cavern as they befriended celebrities and popular musicians who would not only become their students and patrons, they would be the largest distributors of their hateful ideologies around the globe which helped create a global “Satanic State of Mind.”
A 1973 article in the Toronto Star along with a photo of the Process Church members performing an open Satanic ceremony in a public library with its original caption explains my concept simply. It reads;
“The Process Church of the Final Judgement; opens its Sabbath Assembly every Saturday night to the public. Under a silver cross with a red serpent coiled on it; a symbol of unity to Processians; Father Lars addresses the group with Mother Hathor seated (right). Processians believe Christ and Satan must be unified.”
Like the O.T.O., and the Church of Satan, the Process Church of the Final Judgment targeted ignorant celebrities. Everyone knows that is where the damn money is at. However, their main niche would be making magazines and courting musicians who would be instrumental in spreading their propaganda to millions of their fans—people who would do and copy just about anything that their idols did. This is just marketing 101 – chapter 1.
The Process Church’s first magazine, The Common Market issue, was printed and sold on the streets of London and also distributed to each member of the House of Commons (UK Parliament). Their propaganda proved to be very influential to other cultural provocateurs and revolutionaries at the time — including the cult leader and convicted killer Charles Manson who had also preached the end of the world had personally contributed an article he had written to the “Death” issue of The Process magazine.
The leaders of the Process Church would also regularly commune with various celebrities such as The Rolling Stones singer, Mick Jagger, Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, and John and Michelle Phillips, who in 1965 co-founded the iconic vocal group the Mamas and the Papas. Their ideologies would also influence the underground music scene with bands like Skinny Puppy and had access to enter people’s living rooms and their children with their own T.V. shows.
You will find that many of these Satanic sects, like the Process Church had purposely infiltrated popular culture via the music scene and even Hollywood with underground cable T.V. shows.
Author, Adam Parfrey, had written;
“The Process Church of the Final Judgment officially changed its name and its gods in 1975, but even today the original group enjoys cultural influence. It’s screeds were reproduced as linear notes for two Funkadelic albums; Skinny Puppy had an album called Process complete with an anti-vivisection lyrics, a prominent Process Church concern.
Process rituals were appropriated and valorized by Psychick TV and Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (or TOPY), and the Process’ misanthropic bombast appeared on the pages of my Apocalypse Culture compilation.” (Love Sex Fear Death: Rarely What It Seems, pg. 7)
The Process Church was active in San Francisco, in the Haight-Ashbury areas of California, during the mid-1960s. They can also be connected to Charles Manson, whose Manson Family house was set up at 636 Cole, just a few blocks from the Process Church San Francisco headquarters, at 407 Cole Street.
Let me, please add that in the same city of San Francisco, nearby was the Satanic High Priest Anton LaVey’s Black House, which was used for many years as a place of initiation into the Church of Satan – established and formally incorporated in the State of California around the same time in 1966.
Author Peter Levenda wrote in his book, Sinister Forces;
“A key element in Terry’s thesis is that the Process Church of the Final Judgment is alive and well, and involved in nefarious activity stretching from drug-running to child prostitution to murder. This was also asserted in Ed Sanders’ study of the Manson Family, The Family. Sanders was successfully sued (in the United States) and references to both the Process and the O.T.O. — so prevalent in the first edition of his book –were expunged by the time the book was republished. (This was not so in the United Kingdom, where the courts decided in favor of the publisher and author.)
However, Terry recounts in The Ultimate Evil his discussions with Sanders concerning these cults. Terry makes no bones about mentioning both the Process and the O.T.O. in The Ultimate Evil, and has evidently resisted any legal attempts to get him to change his story.” (Sinister Forces Book III, Peter Levenda, pg. 196)
When the Police were investigating the Manson Murders, they suspected a possible connection between the Family’s leader, Charles Manson, and the Process Church. When they questioned Manson if he knew Moore, he responded: “You’re looking at him. Moore and I are one and the same”. The Process Church included an article written by Manson in the 1971 Death issue of its magazine.
Since the early 1970s, author and founding member of the folk outfit the Fugs, Ed Sanders, said the Process Church was connected to the Manson cult in his book The Family. The district attorney’s prosecutor of the Manson family, Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor of the Manson trial, later stated in his book Helter Skelter that Charles Manson may have been ideologically influenced by the Process Churches teachings, which is the main premise of this book, “The Satanic State of Mind.” Bugliosi had written;
“From about April through July 1967, Charles Manson and his still fledgling family lived just two blocks away, at 636 Cole. In view of Manson’s curiosity, it appears very likely that he at least investigated the Satanists, and there is fairly persuasive evidence that he ‘borrowed’ some of their teachings.
“In one of our conversations during the Tate-Labianca trial, I asked Manson if he knew Robert Moore or Robert DeGrimston. He denied knowing DeGrimston, but said he had met Moore. ‘You’re looking at him,’ Manson told me. ‘Moore and I are one and the same.’ I took this to mean that he felt they thought alike,” Bugliosi wrote.
He further said, “Not long after this I was visited by two representatives of The Process, a Father John and a Brother Matthew. Having heard that I was asking questions about the group, they had been sent from their Cambridge, Massachusetts, headquarters to assure me that Manson and Moore had never met and that Moore was opposed to violence. They also left me a stack of Process literature.”
Bugliosi concluded, “The following day the names’ Father John’ and ‘Brother Matthew’ appeared on Manson’s visitor’s list. What they discussed is unknown. All I know is that in my last conversation with Manson, Charlie became evasive when I questioned him about The Process.”
According to the author, Michael Newton, Charles Manson had learned various psychological techniques from the Process Church to use on his followers, called “The Family” who used to hang out at the “Devil House” in San Francisco.
“In 1967, hanging out around a San Francisco landmark called the ‘Devil House,’ he started rubbing shoulders with a morbid cult from England called the Process Church of Final Judgment. As one’ family’ member described the scene for author Ed Sanders: ‘The Devil House people said it was a religious order, and it went under many ancient names, one of them being the Champions of Life, another one being the Final Church of Judgment.
The Final Church is the name Manson chose for the church he would eventually found.’ Aside from its name, Manson also borrowed his concept of ‘The Fear’ from Process spokesmen, along with the cult’s program for recruiting outlaw biker gangs to ‘terrorize society’ on the eve of Armageddon.” (Raising Hell pg. 239)
The Process Church has also been linked to other murderers like Michael Carr, who was a suspected member of a Satanic Cult and an alleged high-ranking Scientologist in Clearwater, Florida, and the New York area with the serial killer, David Berkowitz, who was also known as the Son of Sam.
They had a chapter operating in New York City in the 1970s when Berkowitz went on his terror spree, eventually being arrested in 1977, which I will discuss in an upcoming chapter. The Process Church was then operating under a new name – Foundation Faith, which coincidentally left New York the next year in 1978.
As author and researcher, Steven Snyder had written, “This association was further reinforced by the publication of Maury Terry’s The Ultimate Evil in 1987, a book that linked the Process not only to Manson, but also to the Son of Sam killings, the murders of Stanford University student Arlis Perry and New York vaudeville producer Roy Radin, Valentine’s Day shooter Fred Cowan, and so on.”
As Snyder notes, since the book, The Ultimate Evil was released in 1987, several great researchers have joined the investigation, including David McGowan, Adam Gorightly, and Peter Levenda have all connected The Process Church to a nationwide wave of crime, murders, and death cults like Henry Lee Lucas’ Hand of Death cult, Adolfo Constanzo’sMatamoros cult, the “Company” of Drew Thornton, the Atlanta Child Murders, and many others.
In the end, like most Satanic cults, jealousy among the leaders, scandal, and a woman scorn would cause the group to become disbanded.
While Robert de Grimston was the leader and participated in sexual rituals with other members, his partner, Mary Ann, allegedly, did not. She was said to be the most dominating personality of the two and jealous of his sexual rendezvous.
Eventually, the jealousy would boil over to Mary Ann becoming enraged when Robert suggested performing a ménage a Trois with one of their top female aids named Morgana. The couple soon split after that, and The Process Church of the Final Judgment would experience turmoil.
To remind you, the same fate happened to Jack Parsons when L. Ron Hubbard made off with his girl. He ended up losing his girl, money, and life in the end. It seems when you play with love, sex, and, more importantly, people’s souls, all hell breaks loose for many of these damned Satanists.
In 1974, Robert would leave his wife to be Mary Ann to live with Morgana in an apartment in New York City, and they divorced the following year.
The Process Church of the Final Judgment changed its name to The Foundation Church of the Millennium, and Mary Ann took over the sole leadership of the cult.
Many senior members of the group would relocate to New York, where they would purchase a large four-story building on First Avenue in Manhattan offering courses, classes, conferences, and Psychic Fairs. A true Satanic bizarre. They also had radio shows, frequent appearances on T.V., innovative conferences, and a magazine with a print run of 200,000.
Former Process Church member and author Timothy Wyllie had written;
“In retrospect, it is far easier to see how deliberate were her motives and taking over sole leadership of The Process, but in the fear and confusion of the moment, as we watched our two revered teachers ripping into one another, those of us close to the Omega went passively along with Mary Ann’s furious dismissal of her husband.” (Love Sex Fear Death: My Life Inside the Process Church- pg. 105)
In 1979, Robert gave up his hopes of running another Satanic organization and got a job. His wife, Morgana would become an attorney. They would live the rest of their lives in relative obscurity.
Next up, I have to tell you about the story of “Sympathy for the Devil” when Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones got punched in the face as he exited his charted helicopter.
Later that night as the Stones played on stage, a bunch of doped-up Hell’s Angels high on LSD and Meth hired as security guards beat the skulls in of many stoned drunk hippies, which ended with an African American being violently killed after getting stabbed multiple times. But that was after he pulled a gun on some members of the Hells Angels.
It was mayhem like you have never seen before.
Here is what happens when you combine Sympathy for the Devil, the Rolling Stones, doped-up Hells Angels, a bunch of crazy hippies, and some bad LSD and mix it all together in the 1960s for a blood ritual night of hellish fun in San Francisco, California – the unofficial Capital of Satanic America.

In a letter to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams wrote on August 24, 1815, “As to the history of the Revolution, my Ideas may be peculiar, perhaps Singular. What do We mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.” (1)
In the beginning, the French, Irish, Spanish, and Native American populations of North America were separated by their respective homelands’ racial and national heritages. To unite them, the Founders had devised a secret plan – a human experiment to change the way they think and act. As Thomas Jefferson once described the Declaration of Independence as an “expression of the American mind” (2) and Thomas Paine stated years later in The Rights of Man, “the independence of America, considered merely as a separation from England, would have been a matter of but little importance.
Independence acquired broad historical significance because it was ‘accompanied by a revolution in the principles and practice of governments.” (3)
The Founders would accomplish this incredible feat by implanting new ideas of personal freedom and liberty into their consciousness. They worked diligently to create a new political system that allowed was an experiment in human freedom, letting people, for the first time, think and act freely from the European aristocratic rulership and the main proclamation written in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.”
Author and philosopher Manly P. Hall had proposed in his book, “The Secret Destiny of America,” that there was a Great Plan put forth one thousand years before our Nation’s founding: humanistic and mystical organizations wished for the continent to be the location for an experiment in self-government and religious freedom.” This idea of an “experiment of self-government and religious freedom” was an entirely new concept to the world. (4)
Freed from the threat of hostile forces, American minds were suddenly emboldened to resist new British colonial policies because they were stimulated by a new ethos of individuality and self-government which caused them to demand more independence and expand individual rights. As Adams stated, the American Revolution was a revolution of the mind creating both intellectual and political turmoil following Great Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War. The right to political independence, separation of church and state, nationalism, and individual freedoms were the issues that boiled up in the revolutionary cauldron of Britain’s American colonies causing the people to openly and sometimes violently opposed Great Britain’s new assertions of control over their minds.
One of our country’s founders, the American anti-authoritarian political philosopher named John Locke (1632–1704) would be instrumental in instituting many of these new political philosophies. Locke’s teachings of individual freedom, unlimited opportunity to compete for material well-being, and an unprecedented limitation on the arbitrary powers of government to interfere with individual initiative were some of the most powerful ideologies ever invented.
It is these new individualistic ideologies that were an experiment in self-government and religion that I contend creates a “national state of mind”, which has brought our country to the present day. A human experiment in freedom where these revolutionary ideas intended to change the very structure of government, American Culture, and also the entire social global order of society. But it must also be emphasized that our nation’s founders had asserted that the freedom of individuals to pursue their own ends would be tempered by a “public spirit” and concern for the common good that would shape our social and government institutions. As with any experiment, it may succeed or it may fail and plans can also change as I believe has happened with our Traditional Ethos in the U.S.A. and is the main focus of this book.
The current American value system, or “American Creed” is a perverted form of ultra individuality, which we call “liberal individualism is not grounded on our traditional philosophies, values, and the true American ethos and when taken to the extreme can become irrational, evil, or Satanic, leading to tyranny and Totalitarianism. As studies have shown, these ideas of liberty, self-government, equality, and freedom from religion that has led the country to the contemporary U.S. culture which is a highly individualistic ethos. (5)
It is this fixation on individuality and liberalism that I contend is the opposite of collectivism or unity which leads to neo-liberalism in the American Culture. The word culture means the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation or people. Individualism and collectivism refer to cultural values that influence how people construe themselves and their relation to the world.
Researchers have found that “Individualists perceive themselves as stable entities, autonomous from other people and their environment, while collectivists view themselves as dynamic entities, continually defined by their social context and relationships.
A 2006 study reported that this independent mentality makes “North Americans more likely to experience socially disengaging emotions such as pride in the self, feelings of self-confidence, anger, and frustration but less likely to experience engaging emotions such as friendly feelings, respect, guilt, and shame. (Kitayama, Mesquita, & Karasawa, 2006) This would align with de Tocqueville’s argument that equality eventually generates an egoism such that Americans ‘‘look after their own needs. [They] owe no man anything and hardly expect anything from anybody. (1969:506–508) (6) Also, recent research by some of the nation’s leading historians has cast serious doubt on the assumption that individualist values were prevalent among the early Americans in the late 1700s and early 1800s. (7)
As sociologist Robert Bellah and his coauthors written in “The Good Society” to challenge Americans to take a good look at themselves;
“The Lockean ideal of the autonomous individual was, in the eighteenth century, embedded in a complex moral ecology that included family and church on the one hand and on the other a vigorous public sphere in which economic initiative, it was hoped, grew together with public spirit…The eighteenth-century idea of a public was…a discursive community capable of thinking about the public good.” (8)
The authors of the Good Society point out What prevents Americans from “taking charge” is, according to the authors, our long and abiding allegiance to “individualism” — the belief that “the good society” is one in which individuals are left free to pursue their private satisfactions independently of others, a pattern of thinking that emphasizes individual achievement and self-fulfillment. “When citizens are engaged in thinking about the whole, they find their conceptions of their interests broadened, and their commitment to the search for a common good deepens.”
The result of a citizen population working for the common good, the authors contend is “an informed and morally sensitive public active in discussing and debating issues ranging from international financing to day care, within a framework informed by a shared vision of a good society; and a citizenry capable of instituting reforms in our economic and political institutions so that they work for the common benefit of all peoples.”
However, today, in America, we have a tradition of accepting almost all individual pursuits of liberty to be valid or acceptable as long as they do not break the law without a thought of the common or public good. As a result, many activities that were once outlawed for thousands of years have been changed over the last several decades by American Liberal Judges and secret Satanists allowing even more freedom for the American citizens to pursue just about whatever the hell they want. While this may be good for allowing freedom for ideas to increase industry and commerce, I contend that it also provides for the privilege of immoral and even evil ideas to enter our culture.
It is through this New Hybrid American Ideology of unimpeded freedom and ultra individuality without the thinking for the public good or the collective. A Beast-type system that allows laws that once protected the public good to be changed to the point today where bad ideas are protected by law.
A totally new landscape of freedom from what our original Founders had envisioned where pornography, black magicians (sorcerers), devil worshippers, Satanists, murderers, serial killers, and people who claim in their own words to kill in the name of the Great Serpent – Satan are welcomed into our homes with open arms. They often become Cult heroes like Carles Manson and Richard Ramirez to a whole generation of wayward youth.
It is this fixation on complete freedom of the individual and liberalism without thinking about the public good that I contend has created the “Satanic State of Mind.”

This week, China announced that it has just instituted a law banning effeminate men from TV and the internet has part of a National crackdown to protect their culture against these Western neoliberal influences. Communist Party of China’s propaganda department called for “resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal esthetics,” using an insulting slang term for effeminate men — “niang pao,” or, “girlie guns.”
Legal authorities say the effeminate propaganda they are targeting is coming from various TV and music celebrities and also who they call “vulgar internet celebrities.” They rightly claim this creates an unhealthy admiration of wealth and celebrity causing certain distracting activities and will establish a “correct beauty standard,” and boycott vulgar internet celebrities.
The Chinese government is instructing its citizens and especially its TV programmers should avoid performers who “violate public order” or have “lost morality,” and programs about the children of celebrities also are banned. They want Broadcasters to promote “revolutionary culture,” broadening a campaign to tighten control over business and society and enforce official morality, and are calling for programming that “vigorously promote excellent Chinese traditional culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture.”
Last week, China regulators reduced children’s access to online games after passing a law allowing only three hours of gaming per week. Rules that took effect Wednesday limit anyone under 18 to three hours per week of online games and prohibit play on school days.
Chinese authorities have accused some people in the entertainment industry of bad influence on the young and of “severely polluting the social atmosphere.” As a result, over the last few years, several celebrities and overtly vocal billionaires have been deleted from the internet as if they never existed and were issued hundred million dollar fines by the Chinese government.
For example, a famous actor and billionaire investor, Vicki Zhao Wei, was scrubbed from the Chinese internet without explanation. A famous actress, Zhao Wei, has disappeared from streaming platforms without reason. Her name has been scrubbed from credits of movies and TV programs as if she was never alive. In 2018, the country’s leading actress Fan Bingbing disappeared for more than two months before reappearing, embarrassed and ready to pay a fine of over $100 million for her tax and contractual indiscretions.
President Xi Jinping’s mission is for a “national rejuvenation,” with tighter Communist Party control of business, education, culture, and religion.
According to a 2015 study, “this “phenomenon of fake women” (weiniangxianxiang) – effeminate men who look more feminine and alluring than real women – sparked indignant discourses chastising it as an epitome of the loss of Chinese manhood and a threat to the nation-state. Experts in China, counselors, and educators called for “saving boys” through revamping the education system and underscoring gender-difference education in schools and families.
The researchers quoted many studied, “Effeminate men, contrary to the ideal entrepreneurial masculinity in postsocialist China, were given the name “fake women” in the media. The expression “fake women” stemmed from roles created in Japanese animation and comic games, where male actors displayed feminine beauty, and after extensive use of make-up, possibly equaled or at times exceeded feminine beauty (Xia 2010). News reports portrayed these effeminate men not only appearing in outlandish, ostentatious clothes, but also harboring feminine personalities” (Ying 2009; Ju 2009; Ony 2007; Ai 2007; D. Qiao 2005).
In other studies, researchers found that “The lack of manhood was repeatedly linked to the crisis of the nation-state.”
“The future of our nation is worrisome with the disappearance of manly heroism and masculine spirit,” as the discourse lamented (Yue 2012). Authors contended that a harmonious nation should have men who behave like men and women who behave like women, otherwise the nation would cease to be harmonious (Zhang 2012).
To save the nation, men’s gender-appropriate code of conduct was underscored and reasserted, the researchers emphasized.
Today, in the West, effeminate celebrities dominate and rule almost every aspect of our TV and internet programming. It is out of control and their egos need to be checked so this news from China’s government tightening control over their celebrity culture and neoliberal Western influences could not make me happier.
In my opinion, America should institute similar laws like China that are more in line with our Traditional Cultural Values of all nations of the West.

“There will be undoubtedly more crimes in the sense that the Satanic Bible tells you to take no more shit.“ – Anton LaVey
After he crept into their Diamond Bar home at night fatally shooting her husband in the head as he slept, Richard Ramirez forced his wife, Sakina Abowath to “Swear on Satan” before he raped her.
In San Francisco, Bay Area, he killed an accountant named Peter Pan and raped his wife Barbara, ate everything in the fridge, threw up on the kitchen floor and masturbated on the living room floor — and then scribed an upside-down (inverted) pentagram written with lipstick on the wall and on the leg of a victim – the symbol of Satanists onto the wall.
It wasn’t until Ramirez left these Satanic pentagrams as his calling card that investigators drew the connection to Satanic worship.
In the following years, he would leave more of these pentagrams behind, and would also tell his victims to “swear to Satan” instead of God.
Ramirez not only killed adults in cold blood, but he also didn’t spare the children who he came across, often raping, torturing, and killing them as well.
During the first stages of his Satanic killing spree, several young children were forcibly taken from their beds while they slept, sexually assaulted, and then left for dead like little 9 year old Mei Leung. Yes, he was one of the sickest and most depraved criminals to ever walk the planet.
Soon thereafter, one of the 6-year-old victims who survived would be crucial in identifying Ramirez that lead to his capture.
It was evil crimes like in the name of Satan that would make Richard Ramirez go down in history as one of the most ruthless and notorious serial killers, the so-called Night Stalker. Ramirez was introduced to Satanism through the Satanic Bible and even visited the author and Church of Satan’s founder, Anton LaVey at his infamous Black House in San Francisco. Ramirez was on some sort of anti-Christian pilgrimage from Los Angeles to meet his hero, LaVey.
Richard Ramirez just wanted to “shake the hand of the great Dr. LaVey,” said Lavey’s grandson, Stanton Lavey who was a young child and eyewitness to the event. Because of shady people like Ramirez coming by the Black House House unannounced, Lavey and his wife installed a security fence, video cameras and employed full-time security guards.
“By 1983, business and life had slowed down quite a bit for my grandfather. And that’s when Richard Ramirez, the so-called Night Stalker, started coming to the Black House on some sort of anti-Christian pilgrimage to meet my grandfather.
The house had become the subject of a lot of vandalism and frequent trespassing, so my grandfather had a high fence with razor wire installed. Wooden slats were slid between the folds of the fence for more privacy — we could see who was outside without being seen ourselves. I was 5 when the 23-year-old Ramirez made his presence known to us,” Stanton said.
“He’d come up to San Francisco from Los Angeles, to “shake the hand of the great Dr. LaVey.” Tony, the house security guard, my grandfather’s driver and my occasional babysitter, confronted Ramirez after he noticed someone standing on the sidewalk and staring at the house.
The stranger told Tony that his name was Richie and he just wanted to meet “Dr. LaVey,” and would take only a minute of his time. Tony told him to scram. Ramirez then started walking in slow circles around the block, pausing whenever he reached our fence.
After this had gone on for a couple of hours, Tony went back outside to get rid of him, bringing a pistol with him in case Ramirez tried anything. But Ramirez was around the corner and halfway down the block by the time Tony reached the gate.
Some hours passed and everyone forgot about him. But then he was back. This time my grandfather went outside, tucking one of his many handguns in the pocket of his long black trench coat. As he approached Ramirez, he asked, “What are you doing out here?”
“I just wanted to meet you, Dr. LaVey,” Ramirez said nervously, and stuck out his hand. My grandfather ignored it, Stanton said.
“Well, now you have, so now you can go, I don’t take unexpected visitors. Next time make an appointment.”
Ramirez said, “Thank you for everything you’re doing for us Satanists,” as my grandfather walked back up the steps, he said.
Stanton concluded, “What my grandfather actually said was that Ramirez seemed like a kook. He would usually add that Satanism doesn’t condone murder of any kind. This was my childhood. I don’t know if it’s more or less amazing that I turned out fine, but I did.”
It was a good thing that Anton Lavey had turned away the kook Richard Ramirez because shortly after that, he would make headlines worldwide after being captured for the brutal sexual assaults and murders of several men, women, and children.
People who he had claimed were killed in the name of Satan.
Writing in his autobiography years later, Anton LaVey had written about how accusations of murder in the name of Satan do not concern him. But, Lavey said, “There will be undoubtedly more crimes in the sense that the Satanic Bibles tells you to “take no more shit.”
You see, even hardcore Satanists and High Priests like Anton LaVey knew that within the ranks of his religion, there were people who were abused, angry, crazy, and some were criminals on the fringe. But, on the other hand, people like Ramirez, who were not only magnetized to his teachings in the Satanic Bible, saw them as the new Bible of their wayward generation in a world of hypocritical Christians and as a testament to their alternative and sometimes evil lifestyle.
True crime author Philip Carlo spoke to Ramirez about the crimes and Satanism in numerous interviews.
CARLO: Speaking of spirituality, let’s talk about Satanism. There’s been a lot in the press, Richard, about your devotion to and your affiliation with Satan. Can you tell a bit about what Satan means to you?
RAMIREZ: What Satan means to me…Satan is a stabilizing force in my life. It gives me a reason to be; it gives me…an excuse to rationalize. There is a part of me that believes he really does exist. I have my doubts, but we all do, about many things.
CARLO: When did you first turn away from—as I know you were brought up a—and turn to Satan?
RAMIREZ: From 1970—well, throughout my childhood and up to the time I was eighteen years old, I believed in God. Seventeen, eighteen years old. Then, for two or three years, I became sort of like an—I didn’t believe in anything.
When I reached the age of twenty, twenty-one thereabouts, I met a guy in jail and, uh…he told me about Satan and I picked it up from there. I read books and I studied and I examined who I was and what my feelings were.
Also, my actions. Just like the Hezbollah and different terrorist religious organizations around the—it is a driving force that motivates them to do things and they believe in it whole-heartedly. It had the same effect on my life.
CARLO: In other words, their spirituality was what was the driving force in their life, and Satan became, in a sense, your spirituality and the driving force behind you.
RAMIREZ: Yeah.
CARLO: Richard, do you believe that Satan helps people to be able to do things they wouldn’t normally do? For instance, in Matamoras, Mexico, Adolfo Constanzo killed many people and he was committing human sacrifices to protect the drug cartel down there from the police, and he feverently believed that Satan would protect him and so therefore made human sacrifices. Do you feel that kind of reasoning has any place—
RAMIREZ:— place in Satanism?
CARLO: Yeah.
RAMIREZ: I don’t know the structure of Hell itself, or demons or demonology, but I do know where you tamper with witchcraft, when you tamper with Satanism, be it voodoo—
CARLO: —Santeria—
RAMIREZ: Yeah, any type of sacrifices or contacting the spirits, you’re dealing with things that are very delicate—and dangerous. I myself am no warlock, I’m not a wizard. I’m not one of these types of individuals that knows his witchcraft from A to Z.
But, I have read of instances where people end up getting killed and arrested for tampering with the wrong demons and not using the right types of…uh…the right process of sacrifices and the right types of rituals. You have to know what you’re doing. Everything from ropes to chalices—
CARLO: Everything has to be done right.
RAMIREZ: Exactly. From what I know, certain symbols—like Pentagrams—are supposed to protect you from the demons themselves.
CARLO: Yeah. You were seen in court once with a Pentagram inside your hand and you held it up and showed it to the press and the audience. Why did you do that? Did you feel that it would protect you, or were you just making a statement that you were in alliance with the Devil?
RAMIREZ: Yes, it was a statement that I was in alliance with…the evil that is inherent in human nature.”
Carlo also says that after Ramirez was caught, Anton Lavey’s daughter, Zeena LaVey, had visited him in jail, making him an honorary member of the Church of Satan, and told him they were praying for him.
After Richard Ramirez was apprehended, Lavey’s daughter, Zeena LaVey, went to the jail to visit Richard wearing a long, skin-tight Black dress over her intense hourglass figure and had bright Blood-Red lipstick on her full lips and long fingernails.
She was with her then-boyfriend, a tall man named Nicholas Shreck, who had cut off his left ear as a token of his devotion to Satan. Nicholas also wore all Black and sported an ankle-length Black leather coat.
Zeena told Richard that her Father and the Church sent their blessings and were praying to Satan for him. They were making him an honorary member of the Church. That made Richard’s spirits soar. He held LaVey in high esteem, and Zeena’s visit made him feel the forces of Darkness were being marshaled behind him. (The Night Stalker: The Life and Crimes of Richard Ramirez by Philip Carlo)
DISCLAIMER: You must understand that Richard Ramirez and most other ritualistic murderers had committed these killings independently. Even though he was a Satanist who visited Anton Lavey and had allegedly read the Satanic Bible, I contend that he was not part of “an organized Satanic cult.” Nor do I believe did the Church of Satan order these murders.
I contend that Richard Ramirez was influenced by the writings of Lavey and his daughter, Zeena, who visited him in jail after the murders. It was more of a Church of Satan’s endorsement of his murders for black magic marketing purposes and cultural shock value which the CoS has never been shy to capitalize upon.
SATANIC SYMBOLISM
When the Ramirez murders first started, legal authorities had called them part of a “Satanic Cult,” and these were “Satanic murders.” At the time, some Police investigators came out into the media and claimed that these brutal killers were taking part in “Satanic and ritualistic killings.” A person who not only kills people but takes it to a whole new cruel and spiritual level by sacrificing innocent victims in an ancient horrid rite.
I would understand this fact much more apparent when I was older and researched the occult to become truly knowledgeable. I found a quote that would always ring true regarding symbols was the famous words by the Chinese philosopher Confucious who once said Signs and Symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.
I remember what stood out in my mind to this very day is what the police called the Satanic symbols Ramioriez used as his calling card written in the victim’s blood on the walls or on the bodies that he left behind. It’s truly the script that many Hollywood horror movies are based upon but this was real life.
Heinous acts of violence done in such a brutal way put these killers on a whole new level of brutality that most people cannot even understand, let alone imagine that any person can be so evil.
This religious fear and serial killers like Richard Ramirez, who openly profess they are Satanists as they ritually sacrifice people in horrific murders is what leads to the “Satanic Panic.” This is why when the words Satan and serial killer are used together, it strikes fear deep into the hearts of most reasonable people and especially devout Christians who are taught to fear and fight Satan.
This is where the true Satanic Panic originated, spreading from here in the early 1980s.
Unfortunately, when referring to the Satanic Panic, some Satanists will instead focus on other alleged crimes, such as the McMartin preschool debacle, where there were never convictions to deflect attention away from the real Satanic crimes.
But please DO NOT believe them.
It has been well documented, like the crimes of Richard Ramirez and many other murderers who have done so in the name of Satan and or under the influence of demonic worship.
Now that I have gone over the facts regarding Richard Ramirezes’ ties to Satanism and Satanic symbolism let’s quickly go over the short history of his murder spree and capture.
Growing up in the early 1980s in Orange County, California, I can clearly remember when my innocent sun-bleached summer of little league baseball, surfing, and fun was suddenly interrupted with news of a Satanic serial killer on the loose.
A cold-blooded murderer who terrorized local communities with a string of home invasion robberies, rapes, and murders.
As some of you know or could imagine, there is nothing that strikes more fear in someone than a killer on the loose near your home who breaks into people’s houses when they sleep to terrorize, rape, torture, and brutally kill them.
The demon’s name was Richard Ramirez, and he would go down in history to be known as the Night Stalker. As you can see from the picture above left shortly after his arrest, his face had morphed into a demonic creature of sorts.
A man portrayed in the media as making some of his victims pray to Satan before he ruthlessly butchered them and would flash the upside-down (inverted) Satanic pentagrams on his hand in court.
The Night Stalker was a name that in itself sends chills down the sweaty neck of any reasonable person on a hot summer’s night.
Ramirez, then 25 at the time of his arrest, hew was initially charged in Los Angeles County with 14 counts of murder, five attempted murders, 19 burglaries, six robberies, seven rapes, five acts of forced oral copulation, seven of sodomy, three lewd acts with children and two kidnappings.
You probably know how vicious his crimes were — but the true-crime series delves deeply into how bloody and gory they really were. He had a pattern — he killed the man in the house, sexually assaulted a woman, and always made sure he could see the fear in his victim’s eyes. For example, in the early days of his crimes, he knocked on the car hood of Maria Hernandez so she would see him before the attack, and he yanked Tsai-Lian “Veronica” Yu out of her car as opposed to shooting her through the window.
In Whittier, he cut out Maxine Zazzara’s eyes and took them with him. Investigators identified him as an “enraged killer” because of how viciously his victims had been killed: in one case, the victim, Patty Higgins, was slashed and stabbed in the throat. Another victim, Florence “Nettie” Lang, 81, was beaten to death with a hammer.
In a docuseries on the Ramirez murders, detective Frank Salerno says, “he got comfortable after killing someone — he would take the time to have a snack. That’s a pretty sick individual.” Indeed, he would help himself with food and drinks in the kitchen after his crime.
When he continued his killing spree in San Francisco, Bay Area police said in the docuseries that he killed an accountant named Peter Pan and raped his wife Barbara, ate everything in the fridge, threw up on the kitchen floor, and masturbated on the living room floor — and then wrote a satanic symbol on the wall.
After Ramirez was caught, he had flaunted his allegiance to Satan like when he flashed an upside-down pentagram on his hand, he proudly proclaimed in the courtroom, “HAIL SATAN.”
In one of his few interviews, speaking from prison to 3TV reporter Mike Wattkiss, Richard Ramirez said he had studied Satanism. But when asked if he was a “devil worshipper,” he said, “No comment”.
When he was questioned if he was evil, Ramirez said;
“We are all evil. Aren’t we not?” He then said, ‘Yes, I am evil. Not 100% but I am evil.”
In another interview from Death Row after his conviction, Ramirez said he believed in a malevolent being and that he has felt its power.
This force that Ramirez speaks of is what many Satanists who understand what they are doing aspire to become one with. A dark force that they feed upon is the “Satanic force” or what Christians call the Devil and is evil.
“In the summer of 1985, the city of Los Angeles was held in a grip of terror by an elusive killer. He came at night entering through unlocked doors and windows, targeting houses at random, blending in with the shadows, as silent and deadly as cyanide gas. Brutalizing and robbing his victims, forcing them to swear to Satan, driven by heavy metal music and narcotics and what he believed was the power of Satan himself. It seemed no one was safe from who the press dubbed “The Night Stalker.”
It is important you understand that a common theme among criminals, especially serial murderers, is that they were severely abused as children, just like Richard Ramirez, who was forced to endure and witness horrible trauma. For example, when he was young, his father had abused him and had once tied him to a cross as punishment in the backyard.
According to author Philip Carlo’s book, ‘The Night Stalker: The Life and Crimes of Richard Ramirez’, Richard was scared of his father. Carlo claims Richard’s dad had been beaten as a child by both his father and grandfather. Despite vowing not to abuse his five children the same way he was, things did turn violent when his kids got into trouble.
When he was 13 years old, his cousin Miguel ‘Mike’ Ramirez murdered his wife by shooting her in the face at point-blank range with a 38-revolver. It was the first time Richard had ever witnessed a killing of a human being. His cousin Mike warned him never to talk to anyone about what he saw, which Richard didn’t. After the murder, they back to the apartment to clean up the blood and evidence.
The sight of a human being murdered and cleaning the blood was like a mystical experience to the young Ramirez. He said: “That day I went back to that apartment, it was like some kind of mystical experience. You could smell the dried blood. I looked at the place where Jessie had fallen and died, and I got this kind of tingly feeling.”
Maybe this is why after he was caught, Ramirez posed the question of whether serial killers were born or bred?
The book, The Night Stalker Killer: Life of Serial Killer Richard Ramirez, By Jack Smith, describes his troubled upbringing and his exposure to violence at an early age. Smith helps us understand what might lead someone like Ramirez to brutally rape and kill his victims with such hate in cold blood after an abused childhood and later using drugs, satanic worship, and violence.
The perfect recipe for a human to become a Killer Hell-bent on causing mayhem to the Satanic world that abused and created him demon.
In the end, an alert and brave 13-year-old boy named James Romero would witness Richard Ramirez attempting to break into his Orange County home. No even knowing it was a serial killer and his life in danger, he avoided being his next victim and took down the license plate of the Toyota station wagon that Ramirez was driving and called 911.
An all-points bulletin went out on the car and he was captured shortly thereafter when he attempted to carjack a woman in Los Angeles. Neighbors who thought he was just a car jacker, chased him, beat him down, and kept him until the police arrived.
Orange County Sheriff Officer Jim Kaiser was the person who drove Ramirez to the station after he was arrested on August 31, 1985. Upon arriving, an officer opened the patrol car door and Ramirez stepped out immediately vomiting a “green” vomit in the parking lot that he had likened to the horror movie The Exorcist.
Speaking to news reporters, he said, “It was green, like The Exorcist. This guy is really evil.”
Kaiser tightened Ramirez’s handcuffs over and over again.
“I didn’t know what he was capable of,” Officer Kaiser said. “I looked straight in the eye of absolute evil. He had cold, black eyes. He was the ultimate manifestation of absolute evil.”
Before he was sentenced to death row, Richard Ramirez proclaimed to the court: “I am beyond good and evil. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells in us all. That’s it.
Before Ramirez, 53, died of natural causes in Marin General Hospital, he was seen moving around in his hospital bed — with a shocking green hue to his skin. A witness told the New York Post that he looked like the Jolly Green Giant in the end.
The cause of death was chronic liver failure.
“He was the color green,” said the source. “He looked like a green highlighter pen. He was sitting up in his bed doing stretches.”

Atomwaffen Division (German for ‘nuclear weapons division’) has members all over the world and is linked to at least five murders in the USA, and several crimes. In 2018, Atomwaffen was also tied to the Order of Nine Angels (ONA) and officially labeled as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The FBI announced the arrest of six members of The Base in January 2020, who was another neo-Nazi terror group linked to Atomwaffen, on charges of planning assassinations and mass shootings.
Atomwaffen first went public with one of its founders, Brandon Russell, in October 2015 after the Iron March online forum had closed down, recruiting some of its members from the 1,600 users. The group is a self-described neo-Nazi organization that has attracted underage American boys and active-duty U.S. military personnel. They were founded in 2013 or 2015 with approximately 20 cells across the U.S., according to ProPublica.
A major scandal hit the organization after news reporters from Pro Publica had harvested over 200,000 private messages and logs posted anonymously by a user dubbed “Antifa-data.” From the emails, reporters, the FBI, and some of their members were able to identify secret information about forum participants. In addition, they discovered the true origins of Atomwaffen and Satanic and pedophile connections, which had appalled some of the members who chose to speak out online and distance themselves from these abhorrent activities.
As a result of the fallout, multiple high-ranking Atomwaffen members quit, eventually leading to their public downfall.
So who were the leaders, and what secrets were they hiding from other members and law enforcement?
JAMES MASON – THE NAZI CHILD PREDATOR
Atomwaffen’s former de facto leader, James Mason’s “involvement with [the US’s] organized neo-Nazi movement dates back to the late 1960s”. Mason, raised in Ohio and began working for the American Nazi party in his teens, has a lengthy criminal record. Authorities in Germany and the U.K. told NBC News that Mason is influential among radicals in both countries.
He served a 30-day sentence in jail in 1991 after he pleaded guilty to illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. He was convicted of menacing in a case involving the sexual exploitation of a child and in and out of state prison for parole violations throughout the 1990s.
Mason has been active in writing Nazi propaganda since the 1980’s distributing hundreds of newsletters that were compiled into a 563-page book, SIEGE that is required reading for new recruits. One of the former members stated, “the group [follows] James Mason’s SIEGE like a bible.”
Mason had been publishing his Nazi propaganda for many years through a newsletter called the Siege, and other outlets promoting his organization, The New Order. He even tried to recruit Charles Manson within his ranks and people like Timothy McVeigh are said to have acted upon Mason’s advice. AWD has required potential recruits to read Siege before joining (Miller-Idriss, 2020 p. 14).
The former webpage for the Neo-Nazi group featured images of Charles Manson’s faces flanking either side of the Universal Order’s (UO) logo. UO is a neo-Nazi philosophy Mason launched in 1982 under the tutelage of Manson, which Mason claims the ideas behind the Universal Order would not have been possible without his years of correspondence with Manson, who also gave him the idea for the UO name and logo.
The logo steals ideas from ancient symbolism including the Gnostic ouroboros, scales of Justice and the ancient swastika, which Manson assisted Mason in creating.
In a 1987 videotaped interview with AMOK Press, Mason characterized his fascination with “the forbidden” as crucial to his own recruitment into neo-Nazism and acceptance of Manson’s influence.
“I won’t try to deny, especially in connection with the current Manson connection, that there was the element of the forbidden, or the rebellious, involved there, and to me, at that time [during his teen years] Commander Rockwell and certainly the image of Adolf Hitler embodied the furthest extreme of that. And so that just pulled me in like a magnet.”
Mason uses Manson as an exemplary example of a revolutionary they should emulate;
“Manson represents the great divide between those persons who imagine there are still are choices to be made casually on the basis of Establishment mores and those who have a profound, individual sense of ‘no going back.’ I believe it is this – and not the abstract idea of ‘realism’ – that is the great sustainer and inner-flame of all true revolutionaries.”
In the order’s manifesto, SIEGE, Mason makes clear that he is recruiting the wayward youth, and why he chose Manson’s magnetic power to be the conduit to win their minds. Mason writes;
“And YOUTH is the name to be applied to the group of people among whom you will find a majority of those who DEMAND RESULTS, not Right Wing bullshit. Manson explains that the older a person becomes, the more frozen they are in the programmed ways the System has inculcated them with. [….]
The most adept social and political movers of all times have known that, in order to have a successful movement, you must get ’em [sic] while they are YOUNG! [….] It is Youth that has the most to lose, that has traditionally been the most idealistic and action-minded. Charles Manson exerts a fascination over Youth today, in the entire West, more so by far than anyone else even remotely attuned to what we’re trying to do.”
He also said that “Young, Wild, American, anti-Establishment individuals might be more easily attracted to Manson than Hitler.” “Manson scares people,” he writes, “but he does so in the way they LIKE [sic] to be scared. There is no huge, vague, ugly ‘thing’ attached to Manson as there is to Hitler.”
JOHN CAMERON DENTON – THE NAZI SATANIST AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHER
Another of the group’s leaders is John Cameron Denton, 27, of Texas, who was charged in court by federal prosecutors in Virginia for sharing child pornography with two other unnamed individuals, Assistant US Attorney Carina Cuellar said in court. She said they also told law enforcement that Denton was “trading child pornography back and forth” with another individual and had a folder of the material on his computer. The Feds also charged him with conspiracy to make interstate threats.

Denton was convicted and he won’t be the last for possible domestic terrorism links to face child exploitation counts. Benjamin Bogard was convicted in Texas last year and sentenced to more than six years in prison for possession of child pornography.
This should be no surprise because one of the group’s leaders, James Mason is a known child predator who has been arrested multiple times for child sex crimes.
Denton, 24, goes by “Rape” online and sometimes uses the pseudonym Vincent Snyder on social media and in interviews. He was accused of organizing a terrorist campaign against a ProPublica reporter who had named him and other Atomwaffen members. Threats were called into ProPublica’s New York office and the reporter’s home to induce terror in victims called “swatting,” because the goal is to provoke an overwhelming police response that includes a SWAT team.
JOSHUA CALEB SUTTER – NAZI SATANIST AND FBI INFORMANT
Other members accuse Denton of Satanism and trying to turn the group into a Satanic sect. Since 2017, Atomwaffen Division’s ideology has become more influenced by Satanism and the occult, according to Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation.
According to Open Democracy, the AWD’s required reading material included ‘Liber 333’ and ‘Iron Gates’, both of which were authored by Joshua Caleb Sutter, of Columbia, SC and released by Martinet Press, a company operated by his wife and fellow member, Jillian Scott Hoy.
Their online catalog includes “The Devil’s Quran,” a book that promises readers “a path for those who are willing to enter Hell and claim the Devil as their lord,” according to the description online.
‘Libre 333’ is a satanic manual, which guides neo-Nazis who fantasize about evolving into a new form of vampiric Aryan predator, and openly calls for infiltrating entities with “sinister potential”, such as the military, the police, religious or right-wing groups; while ‘Iron Gates’ is sci-fi gore that tells the story of a blood-thirsty death cult, and contains graphic descriptions of rape, torture, and murder.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) stated while “Sutter and ToB’s texts helped turn AWD toward a more ‘sinister’ [Satanic] direction”, they also caused infighting and distanced some members from the organization. His goal was to transform it from a mostly online group into a household name for “white supremacist” terrorism and moral depravity.
The SPLC also reported that “Sutter drew the FBI’s attention by trying to form alliances with anti-American Islamist groups after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, posting a “message of solidarity and support” to Saddam Hussein on the Aryan Nations Web site, and expressing his hope that “the evil regime of the United States … shall be utterly wiped off the face of the earth.”
Sutter told a reporter he was in contact with Islamic extremists “by phone and Internet because it’s difficult to get to places like Iran.”
Sutter is also linked to another Nazi-Satanist organization called the Order of Nine Angles (ONA). He used an ONA-affiliated channel, which promotes Nazism, Satanism, terrorism, and sexual violence, on the encrypted messaging service, Telegram, according to Open Democracy.
In the US, perhaps the most extreme of ONA’s nexions is the Tempel of Blood (ToB). ToB’s literature encourages sadism and sexual violence, glorifies mass murderers and terrorists, and calls for adherents to engage in racially motivated violence depicted as a holy war.
Members believe that “civilization must be undermined and destroyed from within”, encouraging adherents to commit “random acts of violence, sexual assaults, and even the ‘culling’ [ritual killing] of human victims”. While it is unclear how many people currently follow the ONA, the group is known to have inspired individuals and groups across the world.
The ONA encourages its adherents to join the police and the army or to infiltrate religious groups, with the intention of subverting their ideologies and/or morals and to engage in real-life violent experiences.
Last week, court documents revealed that it was most likely Sutter was also an FBI informant. He allegedly received more than $100,000 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation since 2003 helping the FBI to target other people involved in an occult neo-Nazi publisher in the state, according to the New York Post.
In 2003, Sutter was arrested in Philadelphia by undercover cops who sold him an unmarked firearm for his association with the Aryan Nations. That is the time it is alleged by reporters that Sutter had became an informant for the FBI
BRANDON RUSSELL – THE NAZI in the U.S. Army National Guard
An Atomwaffen Division member, Brandon Russell joined the U.S. Army National Guard in January 2016. In a 2015 post on IronMarch under his screen name, Russell had described Atomwaffen as a “fanatical, ideological band of comrades who do both activism and militant training.”
“Keyboard warriorism is nothing to do with what we are,” he wrote.
Seventeen months later in May 2017, he was arrested after two of his roommates were shot to death and a third roommate, Devon Arthurs was arrested in the murders. Arthurs was eventually implicated in the murders and was also a member of Atomwaffen.
In May 2017, according to state prosecutors, Arthurs shot and killed their other two roommates, Jeremy Himmelman and Andrew Oneschuk. He then walked to a nearby smoke shop and held several people at gunpoint before surrendering to police. Once in custody, he directed police to the townhouse, where they found the bodies.
After his arrest in May on murder charges, Devon Arthurs, the group’s 18-year-old co-founder, told police detectives that he killed his roommates to thwart a terrorist attack by Atomwaffen, which is German for “atomic weapon.”
“I prevented the deaths of a lot of people,” Arthurs said in a rambling statement. Asked why his roommates would plan such an attack, he responded, “Because they want to build a Fourth Reich.”
FBI agents filed explosives charges against Brandon Russell, who was dressed in a military uniform and crying outside the apartment when Arthurs led officers to the grisly scene. Arthurs said Russell, who had just returned home from his Florida National Guard duties, knew nothing about the killings. But he accused Russell of stockpiling explosives to bomb power lines, nuclear reactors, and synagogues.
Police investigators discovered that Russell was one of the leaders of the Atomwaffen Division and his roommates also were members. Russell had a tattoo of a radiation warning symbol which is one of the emblems of Atomwaffen, German for atomic weapons. It is a three pie-slice shape pointing to a circle in the middle.
After the Judge saw images of bomb-making materials and firearms in Russell’s apartment, a federal judge ordered that he posed a risk to the public and he was detained in custody. He was later convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison.
SATANISM AND PEDOPHILIA
The allegations and objections to Satanism come from within the group’s own ranks. Most Neo-NAZI organizations have long been known to oppose any type of Satanic activities and or pedophilia.
In 2018, According to the Daily Beast, Atomwaffen’s satanism-heavy reading list has apparently driven away some former members who were only in the group for Nazism. In January, a purported former Atomwaffen member quit the group dramatically, publishing a 27-page Google document claiming to document the group’s growing satanic ties, the Daily Beast reported.
“I’m probably going to leave AW,” one former member wrote, according to the leaked chat logs. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. AW still has full potential but the way Rape is taking AW as far as the whole satanic shit… is going to hold things back.”
“A plague has befallen the movement yet again,” the former Atomwaffen member wrote about satanism (not about murder). “We WILL purge the Noctulian scum from our ranks, and never again will this happen.”
Immediately after the document’s publication, other self-proclaimed Atomwaffen members attacked its author on the notorious online bulletin board 4chan, calling the group’s endorsement of Iron Gates and the ONA a “meme” and a “joke.” But the alleged Atomwaffen members also inadvertently confirmed that the document’s author had been affiliated with the group, posting screenshots of his messages from Atomwaffen’s group chat.
On Gab, a social media site favored by the right, people who had long claimed to be Atomwaffen members began distancing themselves from the group.
“This shit is all news to me, what a disappointment,” one alleged former member wrote, claiming he’d never seen any satanism under Atomwaffen’s previous leadership.
Another Atomwaffen-affiliated person created a Gab account aimed at “exposing” the group’s satanic ties, and started leaking Atomwaffen chat logs, alongside Harry Potter memes. That person linked to audio of a call, purportedly between Atomwaffen members arguing about satanism.
“In your opinion, Satanism contradicts the ideals of national socialism, right?” one Atomwaffen member asked another during the debate.“Yeah,” the second man answered.
“Okay, I’m not gonna try to get mad and say you’re a fuckin idiot,” the first said. “Like, I want to know legitimately what part of it contradicts the ideals of national socialism.”
“Uh, every part. I’ve literally read both those books. Nothing in it stood out to me as—”
“Have you read the Satanic Principles?” the first Atomwaffen member interrupted. “The fucking baseline ideas of what Satanism stands for? You cannot honestly read that and tell me it reflects none of what national socialism teaches.”
After the release of the files alleging Satanism, bad press, and the hate group label, members fled from the group. A couple of years later, they officially shut down the organization.
“This is a press announcement from James Mason on the evening of March 9, 2020,” said Mason. “I was approached by members of the group known as Atomwaffen Division with the request that I make the official announcement of that group’s disbanding, effective at once.”
Mason now lives in an old apartment complex in Denver, Colorado that is “subsidized Section 8,” a federal subsidy that helps low-income people pay their rent. His apartment was once a meeting place for Atomwaffen members dressed in Nazi regalia and wearing skeleton face paint, in front of the swastika.
Local news reporters claim he is a hypocrite because he rallies to fight against the system and US government, yet at the same time, he lives off of government handouts, subsidies and obtains free lunches from the local soup kitchen as part of his daily routine.
Interesting, given the fact that one of the pictures local news reports shows the white supremacist Mason grabbing lunch shows with an unidentified black African American female to his side.
I would assume in 3 days, without such government support, the unemployed pedophile James Mason would grow hungry very quickly. Instead of having the free time and energy to write his bad ideas influencing the world’s wayward youth all day, he would be forced to get a job and beg for money which would now take most of his time.
With that said, the US Government needs to stop paying criminals like Mason and Sutton who do not work and have the time to spread their bad ideas infecting our nation’s young minds.
