In my search to discover the biological and environmental mechanisms that create the conditions for good and evil behaviors, I have turned my attention to the stomach (gut, gastrointestinal tract g.i.) and brain as being the root cause.
This research has led me to a simple conclusion that is easier said than done.
Control your gut and you will control your mind and life. It is really that simple.
But if you don’t have the knowledge and the discipline, then I contend that you truly do not control your mind, body, and life.
The reason being is that there is an ancient code inserted within our DNA that can take over biological processes and even commandeer our brains if we transgress against these natural laws of being human.
As I explained in a previous article, if you become unhealthy through diet, drugs, alcohol and bad choices, you can become a programmable automaton (android).
A person who the ancient Phoenicians would call behemah (behemoth) and the Ancient Greeks, thēriou.
Words that mean “ignorant, stupid, or human beast.”
In Hebrew, behamah i.e., a stupid person would be considered to be under the psychological sway of a mysterious land animal called the “Bĕhēmôt (Behemoth) which controls all land animals.
This Biblical creature I have connected to the earth’s biosphere in which I believe fungi/molds that are inherent in all matter and in our very own DNA are its defacto military order in helping manage the earth and all living things.
I believe would deal with our second brains being the microbiome/fungi in our gi tracts being connected to what is the “hive mind or earth noos” of the fungi which control the earth’s biosphere through all living entities.
It is this second brain that I contend if people lose control and become sick, it causes people to act beast-like if they follow their carnal/fleshly desires and appetites.
As it related to animals and humans, I believe these fungi communicate and carry out special ops missions within the human genome to manage, regulate and if needed, punish and eat the human species for transgressing against these ancient laws.
Laws that I believe have been passed down to us through the prophets of religion such as the 10 commandments and the Christian concepts of the 7 deadly sins and treating people how you want to be treated and Brotherly love.
Traditions of how to be civil and healthy humans.
The difficult part is implementing and maintaining this control because we live in a culture that seems to be designed to trick you into becoming a beast.
Bad ideas + bad food + bad drugs = Sick People
Sick people who become automaton slaves to their own appetites are easily manipulated and controlled.
People who I believe are controlled by a parasitic fungal contagion in their stomachs that if allowed to get out of control by continued unhealthy behaviors will be hell bent on destruction as a result.
Philp K. Dick called these people androids who he said were manufactured beings almost identical to real human beings. An imitation, a copy of an original. And he must be treated as such.
You will know them by their poisonous behaviors and fruits because they often have inflated egos that are 100% unwarranted and are inauthentic who copy (imitate) other people as they ignorantly think they are like Gods and one of a kind.
Many of these same people become very emotional, angry, bad and some so bat shit crazy they morph into psychopaths and whom some may call demons.
They not only make bad health and life decisions, some become evil by taking their badness to the next level by hurting and abusing other people. The lunatics on the fringe will commit rape and murder.
Simply put, if you let your microbiome get out of control, you can become mentally ill and commit evil acts. It doesn’t matter if you are an atheist, Satanist, Christian or a Muslim. No one is immune from these ancient natural laws.
How do people lose control of their guts and minds?
Studies have shown that the gut-brain axis links our emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with the peripheral functioning of the digestive tract.
This occurs through the gut-brain axis creates a bi-directional system between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain where the influence of gut microbiota depending on how it has been altered affects our behavior.
Research has shown that naturally occurring chemicals like tryptophan and serotonin, when altered, play an important role in human central nervous system disorders such as bipolar and schizophrenia.
All the while, one in five people suffer from a mental health issue and one in a hundred have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
One of these chemicals I would like to focus on is called tryptophan.
Tryptophan is an “essential” amino acid that is made from plant or animal sources. It is called an “essential” amino acid because the body does not produce it so we have to get it from our food.
When you consume tryptophan, your body changes it to a hormone called serotonin, which transmits signals between your nerve cells and affects the emotions.
It is found mainly in the human gut and brain as the main chemical involved in gut-brain access (GBA) systems and communications.
It is an important chemical that science is beginning to discover acts as a transmission antenna or biological internet via neurotransmission that we can control or be controlled by the microbes in our guts.
Research has proven that the main residents in our gut are our microbiome, which is a massive community of bacteria and fungi that have the ability to alter human behavior through the gut-brain axis (GBA).
Here is an image from a recent study showing how gut-brain access occurs and how easily we can be unknowingly manipulated by the microbes in our gi tracts:
“The brain-gut axis and the bi-directional system of communication. The brain-gut axis is a bi-directional system of communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. This links emotional and cognitive centres of the brain with peripheral control and function of the gut and its resident microbiota. Serotonin is a key element of this axis, acting as a neurotransmitter in the CNS and in the enteric nervous system that is present in the wall of the gut. A. Neural communication between the gut and brain is via the vagus (stomach and rectum) and dorsal root ganglia (DRG-small and large intestine), via projections from the enteric nervous system to sympathetic ganglia and parasympathetic innervation of the gut. B. Humeral communication is via release of bacterial factors, production of cytokines and circulating hormones. An important advance for future studies will be testable models of a potential mechanism of action (e.g., cutting the vagus can block some effects of changing the gut microbiota in rodent models).
The part of the brain I theorize is controlled by the fungi is what we call the gi tract or gut and the mammalian part of our brains.
If you are ill due to being unhealthy due to poor diet, alcohol, and or drug use, I believe that the fungi in your gut can control this gut-brain access and thus highjack the mammalian brain to carry out its destructive and pathogenic missions.
These little microbes do this through secret processes like our tryptophan metabolism and other chemicals. Recent studies have shown that a number of microbial metabolites (referred to as neuro-active metabolites) produced through tryptophan may influence more than we ever imagined.
Tryptamine produced by mutualistic bacteria/fungi/molds in the human gut activates serotonin and coordinates absorptive processes in addition to playing a role in innate and adaptive mucosal immunity.
In fact, if you do not have enough of this chemical, it can cause severe neurological issues and create lesions and deform parts of your brain like the amygdala. I believe that it becomes highjacked by the very microbes in your gut making otherwise ordinary people become not only illogical and unreasonable but also pathogenic, parasitic or demonic.
The main job of the amygdala is to regulate emotions, such as fear and aggression. The amygdala is also involved in tying emotional meaning to our memories, reward processing, and decision-making.
Amygdala dysfunction during face emotion processing is well-documented in bipolar disorder. Individuals with bipolar disorder showed greater amygdala activity (especially the amygdala/medial-prefrontal-cortex circuit).
Amygdala size has been correlated with cognitive styles with regard to political thinking. A study found that “greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala.”
These findings suggest that the volume of the amygdala and anterior cingulate gyrus may be associated with an individual’s ability to tolerate uncertainty and conflict.
This brings us to what I believe we can equate to human possession or demon possession.
The disruption of the microbiome in our gi tracts has long been shown to alter these chemicals causing the development of mental disorders. I believe this is caused by bad ideas about how to live along with bad food and drugs which leads to a fungal infection and overload within the stomach (gut/gastrointestinal tract).
And what do you know?
Fungi and even some parasites synthesize amino acids, including tryptophan which helps protect against fungus infections.
For example, there are many reports of fungal infections and the psychiatric side-effects caused by antibiotics, even in people without a previous psychiatric history. It is no wonder because most antibiotics are created using fungal derivatives such as penicillin.
Research has proven that serotonin in higher-order brain function and that low brain serotonin levels are associated with poor memory and depressed mood.
Studies have shown that that the effects of acute tryptophan depletion can cause neurological problems such as depression, psychomotor processing, declarative memory, working memory, executive functions, and diseases like Parkinson’s disease patients with demonstrable reduction in global cognitive function and verbal recognition due to acute tryptophan depletion.
This is why L-tryptophan is used along with other medications to treat mental depression and is used along with lithium to treat bipolar disorder.
The list of medications that contain trptophan is log such as medicine to treat mental illness such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), thioridazine (Mellaril), and others; a narcotic medicine such as meperidine (Demerol) or pentazocine (Talwin); or. a sedative such as diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), lorazepam (Ativan), and others.
In October 2019, not long after Jefferey Epstein’s death, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began releasing hundreds of files that document a massive police investigation into an alleged Satanic pedophile cult known as the Finders. According to the documents, the Finders was founded by Marion Pettie and his wife Isabella in the early 1960s in Virginia and Washington D.C.
It is important to note that Marion also was a retired master sergeant from the U.S. Air Force and records later revealed that his wife was a confirmed employee of the CIA between 1952 and 1961, as well as their son who worked for the CIA contractor, Air America.
The two purchased a large woodland property in rural Madison County, Va., as a real-life experiment using children, adults, and a weird combination of New Age philosophies, psychology, and human development.
The files revealed that the Finders were a secretive group of handlers, parents, and so-called caretakers who believed that allowing children a healthy environment of uninhibited freedom to grow in which they do not need a lot of guidance, discipline or supervision was the best thing for them. They allowed children to be raised by their peers with little supervision and were operated by a secret group of mostly middle-aged men who always wore dark suits in public but often walked around naked behind closed doors.
Former members of the cult described Marion as “The Student,” “The Stroller,” “The Pathfinder” and the “Game Caller” and claim to have been a student of life who taught and learned ‘the game’. It was later revealed that many of his students were runaways, single mothers, drop outs, and drug addicts. He constantly lectured to members about “the New Age way of living” and Eastern mysticism, and it was said that he could peer into their souls almost as if he had X-ray vision.
The curious locals described them as the “watchers” because they seemed to constantly roam the streets, following people home and taking extensive notes and pictures. They often appear at local council meetings, never saying a word but simply observing the scene.
At other times, they plunder the visitor’s center of brochures, maps, and local travel guides. And they haunt the courthouse, scouring land deeds to find out who owns the local real estate.
One of the reports in the FBI files was signed by Special Agent Ramon J. Martinez, who claimed that during his participation in the searches of two of the Finder’s properties in Washington, evidence of the Finders’ intent to traffic children and other potentially criminal acts were found.
Martinez wrote that he was unable to review the evidence after multiple attempts, and said that he was eventually told by a confidential unnamed informant within the D.C. police told him “the investigation into the FINDERS has become an internal CIA matter….No further will be available and no further action will be taken.
U.S. Customs officer Martinez wrote:
“On April 2, 1987, I arrived at MPD at approximately 9:00 a.m. Detective Bradley was not available. I spoke to a third party who was willing to discuss the case with me on a strictly ‘off the record’ basis.
“I was advised that all the passport data had been turned over to the State Department for their investigation. The State Department in turn, advised the MPD that all travel and use of the passports by the holders of the passports was within the law and no action would be taken. This included travel to Moscow, North Korea, and North Vietnam from the late 1950s to mid 1970s.
“The individual further advised me of circumstances which indicated that the investigation into the activity of the Finders had become a CIA internal matter. The MPD report has been classified SECRET and was not available for review.
I was advised that the FBI had withdrawn from the investigation several weeks prior and that the FBI Foreign Counter Intelligence Division had directed MPD not to advise the FBI Washington Field Office of anything that had transpired.
“No further information will be available. No further action will be taken.”
The Finders were ultimately discovered when some people called the Tallahassee, Florida police on February 4, 1987, after seeing two men dressed in suits and ties in the company of six bug-bitten, dirty, hungry children in a van at a park.
The strange men did not cooperate with the police at all. When they would be escorted anywhere they would go limp and when questioned acting as if they went into a “trance-like state”. The children in custody were reported to be “like shells, and zombie-like.”
After being questioned by police, the two men and children made statements that set off red flags for the officers who then immediately placed the men under arrest and took the children into protective custody for further investigation.
Douglas Edward Ammerman, 27, and Michael Houlihan, 28, were taken into custody at a Florida jail in lieu of $100,000 bond each on misdemeanor child abuse charges.
Based on the children being from Washington D.C., the Tallahassee police alerted the FBI to assist in the interstate investigation who were also working with Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
When the D.C. police were informed the Florida Police had captured the Finders, they said, “Holy shit! We’ve been looking at these freaks!”
According to the Washington City News in 1998, Tallahassee police officer Scott Hunt, D.C. Police believed at the time that The Finders were Satanists and/or survivalists, but claimed they were not criminals.
According to U.S. District Court records in Washington, a confidential informant had previously told police that the Finders were “a cult” that conducted “brainwashing” techniques at the warehouse and the Glover Park duplex at 3918-20 W St. NW. The source said they were being recruited by the Finders with promises of “financial reward and sexual gratification” and of being invited by one member to “explore” satanism with them, according to the documents.
The US Customs Report states:
“U.S. Customs was contacted because the police officers involved suspected the adults of being involved in child pornography and knew the Customs Service to have a network of child pornography investigators, and of the existence of the Child Pornography and Protection Unit.
SS/A [deleted] stated the two adults were well dressed white males. They had custody of six white children (boys and girls), ages three to six years. The children were observed to be poorly dressed, bruised, dirty, and behaving like wild animals in a public park in Tallahassee.
The police were notified by a concerned citizen and all eight persons were taken into custody. The subjects were living out of a white 1979 Dodge van, Virginia license no. XHW 557.”
According to US Customs:
“Upon being taken into custody, the adult white males refused to cooperate, one of whom produced a “business” card with a name on one side and a statement on the other. The statement indicated that the bearer knew his constitutional right to remain silent and that he intended to do so.
Upon interviewing the children, the police officers found that they could not adequately identify themselves or their custodians. Further, they stated that they were en route to Mexico to attend a school for “smart kids.”
SS/A [deleted] was further advised the children were unaware of the function and purpose of telephones, televisions and toilets, and that the children had stated they were not allowed to live indoors and were only given food as a reward,” the report said.
The two oldest children referred to as “Mary” and “Max”, were interviewed by law enforcement where it was discovered that the children were raised on a farm with little adult supervision and that they were being “weaned” from their mothers and were rarely allowed inside the house, even sleeping outside.
The children were examined by a doctor who found that all the children showed signs of malnourishment and two of the six children showed physical signs of sexual abuse and also found human bite marks on some of the children, but could not determine if the bite was from an adult or child.
A behavioral scientist said that the children behaved similarly to those who had been ‘institutionalized for a prolonged period.’
Based on the evidence, investigators were quickly able to obtain a search warrant from a judge for the Finders’ two D.C. properties which included a local warehouse and a duplex apartment.
After searching the properties, police found signs of Satanic rituals at the rear of the residence with a stone circle and a small very ornate gravestone propped up against the support pillar for the porch.
They also found brochures, photos, books on mind control, indices, and a large amount of computer equipment and “instructions for obtaining children for unspecified purposes.”
According to the US Customs report, filed by Ramon J. Martinez:
“During the execution of the warrant at 3918/20 W St., I was able to observe and access the entire building … There were several subjects on the premises. Only one was deemed to be connected with the Finders. [He] was located in a room equipped with several computers, printers, and numerous documents.
Cursory examination of the documents revealed detailed instructions for obtaining children for unspecified purposes. The instructions included the impregnation of female members of the community known as the Finders, purchasing children, trading, and kidnapping.
There were telex messages using MCI account numbers between a computer terminal believed to be located in the same room, and others located across the country and in foreign locations. One such telex specifically ordered the purchase of two children in Hong Kong to be arranged through a contact in the Chinese Embassy there.
Another telex expressed interest in ‘bank secrecy’ situations. Other documents identified interests in high-tech transfers to the United Kingdom, numerous properties under the control of the Finders, a keen interest in terrorism, explosives, and the evasion of law enforcement.
Also found in the ‘computer room’ was a detailed summary of the events surrounding the arrest and taking into custody of the two adults and six children in Tallahassee the previous night. There were also a set of instructions which appeared to be broadcast via a computer network which advised the participants to move ‘the children’ and keep them moving through different jurisdictions, and instructions on how to avoid police attention,” Officer Ramon stated.
Martinez also reported finding disturbing photographs of men dressed in white robes holding a severed goat head, and the children engaging in some type of Satanic ritual with one even holding a dead goat fetus that was pulled from a womb. These images were part of a file called “The Execution of Henrietta and Igor”.
Martinez said:
“On Friday, 2/6/87, I met Detective Bradley at the warehouse on 4th Street, N.E. I duly advised my acting group supervisor, SS/A Don Bludworth. I was again granted unlimited access to the premises. I was able to observe numerous documents which described explicit sexual conduct between the members of the community known as Finders.
I also saw a large collection of photographs of unidentified persons. Some of the photographs were nudes, believed to be of members of the Finders. There were numerous photos of children, some nude, at least one of which was a photo of a child ‘on display’ and appearing to accent the child’s genitals.
I was only able to examine a very small amount of the photos at this time. However, one of the officers presented me with a photo album for my review. The album contained a series of photos of adults and children dressed in white sheets participating in a ‘blood ritual.’ The ritual centered around the execution of at least two goats.
The photos portrayed the execution, disembowelment, skinning and dismemberment of the goats at the hands of the children. This included the removal of the testes of a male goat, the discovery of a female goat’s “womb” and the “baby goats” inside the womb, and the presentation of a goat’s head to one of the children.”
The police report further stated:
“..numerous files relating to activities of the organization in different parts of the world. Locations
I observed are as follows: London, Germany, the Bahamas, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Africa, Costa Rica, and ‘Europe.’ There was also a file identified as ‘Palestinian.’
Other files were identified by member name or ‘project’ name. The projects appearing to be operated for commercial purposes under front names for the Finders. There was one file entitled ‘Pentagon Break-In,’ and others referring to members operating in foreign countries.
Not observed by me but related by an MPD officer were intelligence files on private families not related to the Finders. The process undertaken appears to be have been a systematic response to local newspaper advertisements for babysitters, tutors, etc.
A member of the Finders would respond and gather as much information as possible about the habits, identity, occupation, etc., of the family. The use to which this information was to be put is still unknown. There was also a large amount of data collected on various child care organizations.
The warehouse contained a large library, two kitchens, a sauna, hot-tub, and a ‘video room.’ The video room seemed to be set up as an indoctrination center. It also appeared that the organization had the capability to produce its own videos.
There were what appeared to be training areas for children and what appeared to be an altar set up in a residential area of the warehouse. Many jars of urine and feces were located in this area,” police investigators wrote in the original report.
Virginia state police spokesman Charles Vaughn issued this statement to the press about the evidence found:
Among the pictures were those of a crying child looking at a decapitated goat, another captioned ″Ben finds Henrietta’s womb,″ and three others showing children playing with goat fetuses.
″I don’t know exactly how to interpret those photographs. I don’t think that anyone does,″ Vaughn said.
The Finders claimed this was done for “hands-on” educational purposes.
″As long as we have existed there have been allegations against us on many topics because people don’t understand us and strike out against us,″ said Robert Gardner Terrell, a Finders spokesman, in an interview in Washington.
″We had two goats there in the summer and rather than just leave them there to starve in the winter, we butchered and ate them,″ he said.
″We did it with the children present because we thought it would be a good learning experience for them. It turned out to be a delightful experience for them,″ Terrell said.
″We took pictures of the event and kept them for the children as a keepsake. That was what the police found,″ he said.
Officer Hunt of the Tallahassee PD told the Miami Herald, “It is our belief these kids were not kidnapped but that their parents gave them away, because one of the rites of passage into this satanic organization is that you have to give up your rights to you children, and that the leaders of this organization can do what they want to with your children.”
And he said to the Tallahassee Democrat, “As far as we’re concerned, this goes from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico … There is no doubt in our mind that this will have at least national, if not international, repercussions.”
CBS News reporter from D.C., Mike Buchanan reported that after researching police files, he claimed that the Finders had “worldwide connections,” used “sex and children to obtain power and money,” and had two bank accounts with over $100,000 in each.
About two weeks after the initial investigation began, it was suddenly announced that the MPD and Tallahassee police were dropping all charges due to “insignificant evidence”. They had claimed that after finding no evidence of child sexual exploitation, kidnapping or any related crimes, they dropped the case.
“The lifestyle of the so-called Finders organization may differ from the societal norm, but so far the Metropolitan Police Department has not uncovered any evidence of criminal wrongdoing by members of the group,” Washington Police Chief Maurice Turner told the Democrat.
”There was apparently the killing of goats and some type of blood,” Chief Turner said, adding that it appeared the children did not participate in the killing. Other police officials suggested that the goats were actually butchered for meat, not for some sort of satanic animal sacrifice.
”A photograph can paint 1,001 pictures,” Chief Turner said.
”The life style of the so-called Finders organization may differ from the societal norm,” he added, ”but so far, the Metropolitan Police Department has not uncovered any evidence of criminal wrongdoing by members of the group.
”At this point the Metropolitan Police Department has not found any materials among the seized documents or records that would initially corroborate allegations made by an informant that the organization is a cult and that its activities involve satanic rituals. Documents Being Reviewed
”However, we are still involved in an extensive and detailed review process of the documents and records seized,” he added.
Asked if the group was dangerous, Chief Turner replied: ”I don’t really believe so. If they are a danger, from what I can see, they would be a danger to themselves.”
Another document said a customs agent who asked to review evidence in the case was told it was a CIA internal matter.
In typical CIA fashion, the agency denied any cover-up, saying the charges were like a “nothing burger.”
“This story is a non-story,” CIA spokesman Dave Christian told the Democrat in December 1993. “I think of it as a nothing-burger.”
The doctor who originally examined the children did an about-face on her original assessment by later saying that there was no “conclusive” evidence of child sexual abuse.
Local police officers followed suit by claiming that it all was just a misunderstanding as part of the “Satanic Panic” that has spread across the country.
However, the 324-page file released by the FBI in 2019 paints a much different story.
The FBI discovered that The Finders traveled to places like North Korea, Russia, and Vietnam, which were considered ‘no travel’ zones.
The CIA was made aware of the FBI and local police department’s investigation and claimed to be conducting their own, but refused to cooperate with the FBI or local police. On record, a member of the FBI asks a member of the CIA if the investigation was “treading on anyone’s toes”, to which the CIA agent responded “Sort of…
Marion Pettie continued to live in the same town he operated his cult in relative obscurity until his death in 2004.
He was interviewed before he died in 1998 by Eddie Dean with the Steamshovel Press. It is a telling tale of a man who operated a Satanic pedophile cult for the CIA and had absolutely no regrets.
Hell, why would a government protected asset and most likely paid psychopath think any different?
In the interview, Marion appears to try to find redemption by halfway coming clean about his involvement with intelligence agencies. He tells Dean, “I kept open house mainly to intelligence people in Washington. OSS people passing through, things like that.”
But of course, he says that he was not an intelligence asset himself but he claimed to be a private citizen who spent his life as a “spy of spies.” He claimed to be something akin to a CIA watchdog, proclaiming that he had been studying them since before they were born.
As for Pettie’s wife’s employment with the CIA, hell, that was a secret operation in which he sent her in as a spy, to spy on the CIA for Marion. Being in charge of the records department, his wife was able to find out things for Marion. He also acknowledges that his son worked for the CIA company, Air America.
Here is part of Dean’s interview with Marion Pettie:
“I ask him about the history of the Finders.
Pettie explains that his group is actually the “second round” of a long-term, ongoing experiment he calls the “topsy-turvy university,” in which everyone teaches him, the Student.
“I’ve been keeping open house to fools since the ’30s,” he says. “I rented two apartments in Washington and had open house. Anyone that wanted to could come and stay with me—I’m still doing it.
And by watching these fools, that’s where I get most of my learning. I do just about anything to humor these bunch of fools that want to come along and be nice to me. And of course, I’m a big fool, too.”
He describes the odd work of the Finders nonchalantly.
“My goal is to know everything and say nothing. I run a private intelligence game, and I send people out undercover to find out various things.
I’ve been investigating the CIA before it was the CIA, when it was the OSS.”
“The only conflict I’ve ever had in my life are with these ungrateful wretches that are suing me now,” mutters Pettie.
“They were dope fiends and emotionally disturbed people, and they got cured in my mental hospital and they left. Now they come back and want to take the hospital.”
He knocks some ashes off the cigar and points the smoldering butt at the silent Berns, scribbling away in his note pad: “These people like him, they’re not cured yet, and he’s only been here 25 years.
He came here as a dope fiend and sick 25 years ago, and I just let him lay on the porch in the sun for a couple of years; now he’s one of my main lieutenants.”
Berns, expressionless, simply nods his head in agreement.
Pettie continues to interview himself while I reel from the cigar and the colliding topics. “Culpeper is a model of a well-run little town,” he explains, pleading no personal attachment to the place.
“I’ve been studying this town for 70 years. I like it here because nobody talks to me. You’re the first person to come here and talk to me.”
Washington Post – https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/02/07/officials-describe-cult-rituals-in-child-abuse-case/11f05df1-48e0-41f7-b46d-249c0bd2bc39/
Since 2015, there have been dozens of reports all across the nation about U.S. public schools and libraries allowing convicted child predators to teach kids as young as 3 years old about LGBTQ+ ideologies at what are called, “Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH)” events.
This is an actual picture of a recent event posted to a Long Beach, California public library’s Twitter account. Omar Navarro, Long Beach congressional candidate Tweeted that he was “outraged” after a drag queen sporting demon-like horns was invited to read to children as part of the Drag Queen Story Hour at the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library.
Mochi later said it was one of his “best experiences…as a drag queen.”
“It’s so important to have representation and normalize all the letters in LGBTQIA+ in everyday lives,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
There is good reason to be outraged like Senator Navarro because it has been revealed that some of these drag queens are convicted child sex predators who should NOT be around children.
For example, in 2019, the Houston Public Library Drag Queen was convicted of multiple sexual assaults against young children. The man was photographed at a Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) event carrying a rubber chicken — a symbol used by homosexuals to indicate a sexual preference for young boys.
The drag queen Dylan Pontiff (Santana Pilar Andrews), a registered sex offender bluntly admitted the true purpose of the drag queen story hour.
“This is going to be the grooming of the next generation,” he said.
A convicted child predator, Pontiff also wrote an article in which he describes ‘Desmond is Amazing’ – the 12-year-old drag queen kid – as “hot”.
Another one of the participants at a drag queen story time event in Houston, 32-year-old Albert Alfonso Garza, AKA Tatiana Mala Nina, turned out to be a registered sex offender who was convicted of assaulting an eight-year-old boy in 2008.
After it was found that Albert Alfonso Garza and the outraged parents voiced their concerns, it turns out that the Houston Public Library did not even bother to perform a simple background check on the drag queens who would be in close contact with young children as required by U.S. Federal and state laws.
Hence, these school officials are violating federal and state legal statutes making them criminals who are complicit with child sex offenders granting them carte blanche access to our children.
“We were made aware today that one participant for Drag Queen storytime who read at the September 29, 2018, Drag Queen Storytime has a criminal background that should have prevented him from participating in the program.
We assure you that this participant will not be involved in any future HPL programs.
In our review of our process and of this participant, we discovered that we failed to complete a background check as required by our own guidelines. We deeply regret this oversight and the concern this may cause our customers. We realize this is a serious matter.”
“This is not about tolerance or anti-bullying,” Leslie Alexander, a member of the community, told the Lafayette Daily Advertiser.
“It is a direct and intentional effort to create gender confusion and doubt among very young children at the very time they need solid guidance and understanding. The intent is to plant a seed to make children more likely to question their sexuality or gender at a later age.”
The facts are that legal requirement of checking the background of adults who teach or work at the schools in any fashion is not being done by many U.S. school and library officials who are either too lazy, negligent or complicit in allowing these sexual predators to have access to our children.
The facts are that every state in the nation has enacted laws requiring K–12 educators to have criminal background checks (Barstow, Terrazas, and Todd 2012).
For example, the Texas legislature passed Senate Bill 9 in 2007, which requires public and private schools to conduct fingerprint-based criminal background checks on applicants such as certified teachers, substitute teachers and teachers’ aides, whether or not certified, volunteers, contractors who will have direct contact with students and noncertified employees.
Texas prohibits employers from hiring teachers and other employees who will have contact with children with misdemeanor or felony convictions for crimes of moral turpitude and misdemeanor or felony convictions for crimes involving minor victims, including sexual offenses or abuse.
It also mandates that any contractors that contract with schools must secure fingerprint background checks on any employees who will interact with students while contracting for work with schools.
WHO IS ALLOWING THESE DRAG QUEENS AND CONVICTED CHILD SEX PREDATORS IN OUR LIBRARIES AND SCHOOLS
Surprisingly and to the alarm of thousands of concerned parents across the U.S., these Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) events have been sanctioned and funded by organizations like the American Library Association (ALA) to explicitly allow drag queen performers to read children’s books at public libraries and bookshops to young audiences and their families featuring LGBTQ+ characters.
The drag queens are trained by children’s librarians on how to read books, sing songs, and teach kids crafts typically targeting younger children aged between 3 and 11.
The organization that hosts these events is called DQSH and is a non-profit that is being funded by taxpayer dollars. One of the co-founders of the New York chapter said in June 2019 that the DQSH has 35 U.S. and five international chapters. He said the program strives to “instill the imagination and play of gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models”.
Drag Queen Story Hour pitches itself as a family-friendly event to promote reading, tolerance, and inclusion. “In spaces like this,” the organization’s website reads, “kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where everyone can be their authentic selves.” But many parents, even if reluctant to say it publicly, have an instinctual distrust of adult men in women’s clothing dancing and exploring sexual themes with their children.
According to author Christopher F Ruffo, this is the new sexual politics and it is nothing but the “destruction of sex, the reconstruction of child sexuality, and the subversion of middle-class family life. Ruffo wrote:
“The drag queen might appear as a comic figure, but he carries an utterly serious message: the deconstruction of sex, the reconstruction of child sexuality, and the subversion of middle-class family life. The ideology that drives this movement was born in the sex dungeons of San Francisco and incubated in the academy.
It is now being transmitted, with official state support, in a number of public libraries and schools across the United States. By excavating the foundations of this ideology and sifting through the literature of its activists, parents and citizens can finally understand the new sexual politics and formulate a strategy for resisting it,” Ruffo said.
One of the main people who has spearheaded this movement and sits on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour is a college professor and drag queen named Harris Kornstein—stage name Lil Miss Hot Mess.
He is the author of the LGBTQ+ children’s book The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish. Kornstein also penned the Drag Queen Story Hour manifesto, “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” with coauthor Harper Keenan, a female-to-male transgender queer theorist at the University of British Columbia.
As the authors, Kornstein and Keenan explain that the manifesto sets forth LGBTQ+ ideologies in order to disrupt the traditional family and traditional American schooling.
Chritsian Ruffo said that they will accomplish this by teaching a new method, “drag pedagogy,” to stimulate the “queer imagination,” by teaching young kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.”
As Chritsian Ruffo points out, Kornstein and Keenan clearly state that their main goal is toward undermining traditional notions of sexuality, replacing the biological family with the ideological family, and arousing transgressive sexual desires in young children. They wrote:
“Building in part from queer theory and trans studies, queer and trans pedagogies seek to actively destabilize the normative function of schooling through transformative education,” they said. “This is a fundamentally different orientation than movements towards the inclusion or assimilation of LGBT people into the existing structures of school and society.”
According to Swarthmore College, “Kornstein’s goal is to bring drag into the classroom at a Swarthmore-like institution where he could work in a hybrid mode of performance and theory. Starting with story hour, though, has been fiercely rewarding.”
“I have the kids repeat, ‘When I grow up, I want to be a drag queen!’” he says. “I tell them to say that whenever unsuspecting adults ask them what they want to be.
“It’s always a cute moment that plays on the unfounded fears many people have about queers converting children—and that’s exactly why I like it.”
Is this a good thing to allow drag queens to teach LGBTQ+ ideologies to our children and are organizations like the American Library Association (ALA) placing our children at risk of rape by sexual predators who wish to groom our children?
In my opinion, this is a terrible idea and the facts and bad press already prove that there are many people in this movement who are sexual criminals posturing under the guise of social justice and neoliberal ideologies in order to get access to our children’s minds and bodies.
The facts speak for themselves no matter what the “drag queens” and government officials wish to claim.
Again, in 2019, At a drag queen story hour at Hennepin County Library in Hennepin County, Minnesota, a performer by the name “Sasha Sosa,” flashed his crotch to young kids at the audience during the event.
Sosa’s colleague, who performs under the pseudonym “Gemini Valentine” appears to take the floor wearing a revealing leotard.
The CPL discovered that both performers–Sosa and Valentine–regularly perform at strip clubs and are both believed to be in their late teens.
The taxpayer funded Hennepin County Library reportedly failed to carry out a background check on these performers before the event.
In March 2021, the former head of the Cream City Foundation, which sponsors Drag Queen Story Hour in Milwaukee, was arrested on child pornography charges.
Again, that same year, but this time in Pennsylvania, a drag queen, Brice Patric Ryschon Williams, “genderqueer social worker” and a popular LGBT activist who has danced provocatively for young kids was arrested for 25 counts of child pornography.
After tipsters from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children found 76 files in May 2021 with child pornography had been put in a Dropbox account under Williams’ drag queen name, “Anastasia Diamond,” they alerted the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General’s Child Predator Section. Based on the evidence, his home was then raided by the FBI on June 23.
Williams is a licensed social worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Shippensburg University and also serves as a board member of the Franklin County Coalition for Progress, the Pride Franklin County Committee, and the United Way of Chambersburg’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Committee, and currently works for GLO Harrisburg, a center that offers a “safe space” for LGBTQ+ youth of color.
On Williams Instagram account “bricie95” which has since been deactivated, he describes himself as an “HIV Community Educator” and “Licensed Masters Level Social Worker” using both he/him and she/her pronouns.
According to FBI agents, the email address associated with the account was listed as belonging to Anastasia Diamond, or Ana D. Inspection of the files determined that at least 49 of the 76 files appear to depict children under the age of 18 performing sexual acts. After a preliminary search of the IP address determined to be William’s Comcast internet account, a subpoena was issued to the ISP.
When the FBI raided his home, they found the defendant’s phone with at least 25 videos of child pornography, and more on his old phone. Special Agent Nye stated in the report that the 25 videos were just a small sample of the number of sexually explicit files on Williams’ phone.
According to the police report, FBI Special Agent Nye confronted Williams after finding his devices with child porn and he then admitted that he had searched for, possessed, and shared child pornography.
He then told police that he first saw child pornography in 2014 on a messaging app and that he eventually started uploading the files to cloud storage apps to send and receive more files and links with other people online.
Brice Patric Ryschon Williams pleaded not guilty and is being held on $100,000 bail at Franklin County Corrections.
These child grooming events are not just for schools and our libraries, at Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, Florida on Sunday, October 2, 2022, drag queen bible story hour was taught to young children like how drag queen ideology aligns with the Bible, according to Life Site News.
The senior pastor Andy Oliver dressed in pink asked all the children in attendance to come up to the stage, where he asked Simmons several questions about himself and his aspirations to ministry.
The drag queen, Isaac Simmons, aka “Penny Cost,” was dressed like a demon and used “they” and “them” pronouns and “she” and “her” pronouns while speaking in drag about deconstructing and reimagining the church.
Oliver told the children about how the drag queen, Penny Cost, reminds us that we follow God who calls us to not conform to the things of this world. He said that:
“We’re supposed to be transformed by the renewal of our minds and that means what I think today may have to change tomorrow and if I continue to renew my mind and it so cool that we serve a God that calls us to continue to grow and to continue to change into something new and to not be bound by the ways that the world confines us sometimes.”
He concluded, “That were supposed to live differently!” And then asked the kids to pray with them.
Here is the video of the event.
Simmons said:
“We are here to learn and to grow and to deconstruct and to reimagine what church can be, who church can be for, and how church can feel together. The church can be a place unafraid to denounce queerphobia, a place unafraid to name the sin of racism, and to call for an end to white supremacy.
A place where all have equal and equitable access not just to the pulpit itself, to the sanctuary, but to God themselves, and all that it represents within the community.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR?
Some neolibearl parents have expressed support for the Drag Queen Story Hour claiming that it creates an all inclusive educational environment, stressing the tolerance towards those with unorthodox identities.
There are many people and concerned parents who have been critical of these events considering the facts that they promote a homosexual and transexual lifestyle that is opposed to traditional family values.
Regardless of what the drag queens and government officials try to claim, a new poll by Rassmussen found that 44% of Americans believe that these drag queen story hours were “not at all” appropriate for children, and another 16% stated it to be “not very” appropriate, while 10% said they were not sure.
According to Rasmussen’s head pollster, Mark Mitchell, this question alone had “riled up about the most hate in any survey” he had ever conducted, emphasizing the fury among Americans the issue has caused in recent years.
Only 11% of respondents thought they were “very appropriate” for children, while 28% claimed that they were “somewhat appropriate.”
In regards to political affiliations, 79% of Republicans disapproved of Drag Queen Story Hours, while 47% of Democrats were in support and 41% against the events.
71% said the event should not be taxpayer funded in comparison to just 14% who said the taxpayer should foot the bill.
There is a big gap in beliefs between age groups with 46% of people aged 19-39 saying it was appropriate, compared to 71% of adults aged 40-64 and 77% of adults over 65 who stated that the event was inappropriate.
Slightly more women than men approved of the drag queen story hours, and to no surprise, government employees were the most likely to approve.
However, regardless of what anyone thinks is right, the American Library Association (ALA) and many public school officials have voted to move full steam ahead with their LGBTQ+ child grooming agenda regardless of what your values are for your children and how you believe they should be raised.
According to the Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis Walcott:
“It is a pleasure for Queens Public Library to welcome Angel Elektra back to our Jackson Heights branch to capture the imaginations of children and adults through an amazing storytelling experience.”
The Queens diustrict approved a budget of $25,000 set aside for “Drag Queen Story Hour programming.”
City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Queens), chair of the Cultural Affairs and Libraries Committee, said the funding increase will ensure that even more New Yorkers can enjoy the diverse programming offered by public libraries.
“I am especially proud to support Drag Queen Story Hour, a wonderfully imaginative and inclusive program for kids that encourages acceptance and a love of reading,” Van Bramer said. “Drag Queen Story Hour provides all kids with a space to be themselves and to see queer role models — something I desperately needed as a kid.”
In August 2019, a petition by LifeSiteNews and Personhood Alliance, both anti-abortion activism groups, asked the American Library Association (ALA) to stop promoting the story hours; it gathered nearly 100,000 signatures.
The ALA responded by affirming that it “strongly opposes any effort to limit access to information, ideas and programmes that patrons wish to explore” and “includes a commitment to combating marginalisation and underrepresentation within the communities served by libraries through increased understanding of the effects of historical exclusion.”
CONCLUSION
As a father of four young children at home, I was absolutely appalled to learn that school and library officials were allowing drag queens to read LGBTQ+ books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores. I then discovered thousands of other parents and people who were equally offended.
While these drag queens’ words and motives may seem altruistic on the surface to some people, there appears to be a sinister agenda behind it and also a high number of convicted child sex officers and rapists among their ranks.
These same people want to shape and mold your children’s minds to groom them into their ideologies while simultaneously destroying the traditional family and traditional schooling.
It has now become one of the major ideological wars being fought between the neoliberals on the far Left and traditional Liberals and conservatives on the Right who have decided that they have had enough of these child abusers who have stepped over the line.
It’s no secret that many Americans, both Democrat and Republican are now vehemently opposed to the drag queen story hours now that it has been shown that the movement has been infiltrated and exploited by sexual predators and pedophiles to not only get closer to kids, but to groom them for sexual perversions by molding their young brains into a “Satanic State of Mind.”
“O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee Devil.” – Shakespeare
The secret history of spirits and alcohol is a long and fascinating one.
Many ancient cultures were very well acquainted with alcohol. The use of it has been linked to religious ceremonies as well as being used as an offering to gods or spirits so that they would provide good harvests or protection for crops from pests and disease.
Another reason why alcohol was used in many religious ceremonies and held to be sacred when used appropriately. It was used in ceremonies because it allowed the person to have communion with the spirit world. Hence, the name spirits when referring to alcohol.
Paracelsus (1493-1541) used the word spirit to refer to a fine powder but also a volatile liquid. By the 1670s it was being used in English for “any sublimated substance, the pure spirit of anything,” including liquids.
For example, when an ancient alchemist made wine, it was the “spirit of the grape” being extracted and served as a drink. Beer would be the “spirit of barley or hops.” They believed that through alchemy, the transmutation of a substance to its original state was its spirit, just like the human spirit.
It was called a spirit of the original material because it contained the essence or nature of the material it was distilled from. In much the same way that humans were thought to have a spiritual essence because of their souls.
It has been said that the use of the word “spirit” in connection with the distillation process first came about in the Middle East;
“The term “spirit” in reference to alcohol stems from Middle Eastern alchemy. These alchemists were more concerned with medical elixirs than with transmuting lead into gold. The vapor given off and collected during an alchemical process (as with the distillation of alcohol) was called a spirit of the original material.” (Wikipedia)
This is why the word spirits can be used interchangeably with alcohol.
Ancient alchemists generally believed in three kinds of spirits: natural spirits (responsible for growth and nutrition), animal spirits (responsible for sensation and movement), and vital spirits (responsible for life itself). Through this supposed spirit, the realm of air passed into oceans of liquid.
In our modern era, we sometimes call various alcoholic drinks such as wine, “spirits of wine” or other alcoholic beverages are simply called “distilled spirits.”
This is described in the 18th century book; “The pure Substance of anything separated from the more Gross. It is more especially taken for a most subtil and highly refined Powder, and sometimes for a very pure Spirit: Thus the highest rectified Spirit of Wine is called Alcohol Vini.” (1706, Phillips, Alcahol or Alcool)
In the 17th century book of Philsophy, it was also called the essence or quintessence;
“By extension to fluids of the idea of sublimation: An essence, quintessence, or spirit, obtained by distillation or rectification; as alcohol of wine, essence or spirit of wine.” (1672, Philosophy Translation)
All alcoholic spirits go through at least two procedures – fermentation and distillation.
Fermentation is where all alcohol is created and it requires two simple ingredients: a raw material such as grapes in liquid form that contains sugar, followed by the addition of fungi/molds/yeast. Fungi are a living organism that feeds on sugar and it poops out the bi-product of this consumption, which is ethanol, AKA alcohol and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Wine and beer is a creation of humankind that is made from growing molds/fungi on grapes and or barley and wheat. Then through the fermentation process, which simply means to artificially create the ideal conditions to grow mold on these same commodities, to then be distilled in order to extract the spirits of the mold for human consumption, drunkenness, illness, disease, and death.
The molds/fungi convert these substances to sugars, and the sugars are consumed by added yeasts through distillation to produce a volatile substance – alcohol or what we should simply call “mold spirits” because that is what exactly they are.
It is from ancient alchemy that we get the notion of a “volatile substance”, in which the vapor given off from the fungi/molds is ethanol and collected during the alchemical process (as with the fermentation and distillation of alcohol) was called a spirit of the original material – fungi/molds.
Distillation is the process of separating alcohol from water via evaporation and condensation. The base alcohol is heated, and certain parts of it are captured. This process purifies and concentrates the remaining alcohol, which will ultimately be the final spirit produced.
These spirit drinks contain a poisonous substance that is released by the molds/fungi through the distillation process known as ethyl alcohol, which is the same chemical element that is present in all beers, wines, and other alcoholic drinks.
Meaning that molds/fungi are the ONLY living organism and common ingredient that produces the ethyl alcohol among all these various drinks.
In the early 19th century, Winfield Scott Hall, former Chairman of the American Medical Association (1905) and President of the American Academy of Medicine (1902-1910) had said the biology of ethyl alcohol may be thus summed up, “Ethyl alcohol is the excretion of a fungus.” (Bulletin of the American Medical Temperance Association)
The alcohol that we know and love (found in beer, wine, hard liquor, etc.). also called ethanol, it is actually the waste (poop and pee) produced by unicellular fungi called yeast. Yeast loves to eat/react with sugar, and when that happens ethanol and carbon dioxide are expelled.
Just like when people expell gas (fart).
Humans LOVE and make use of both of these products. When you bake a loaf of bread, it is the carbon dioxide bubbles that make it rise as the alcohol is evaporated away.
It is commonly known today that to alchemically extract the essence of a plant will give you what we call its “essential oil.” For example, the essence extracted from a grape will give you what is called “grape extract or grape oil” and to extract the oil from a grape seed will give you “grape seed extract” or “grape seed oil.”
This is is a reflection of its essence and what is sometimes called the plant’s unique spirit.
The word spirit is much less used today than in times past, but is still commonly found when describing various alcoholic drinks. However, I have found that how we describe this essence or oil from the fermentation of various fruits, grains, and or barley, is actually a misnomer.
The origins of the word spirit come to us from the Latin spiritus “breath, spirit,” from spirare “breathe.”
It was an ancient belief for thousands of years that supernatural beings or things fly and float in the air and they could enter a person’s body simply by breathing in these beings or things.
These spirits have been known over the last few thousand years by various names through various cultures such as “elementals, demons, devils, succubi, incubi, ghosts, specters, phantoms, unclean and impure spirits” to name a few.
As it relates to alcohol, we can examine the ingredients to find that the only living organisms used in its creation are fungi or molds that are also referred to as yeasts.
Alcoholic beverages are made by fermenting sugar or starch-based materials, such as fruit like grapes and grains such as barley. The sugars are converted by spirits, i.e., fungi/molds/yeasts into ethanol (the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and your vehicles gasoline) and other chemicals that give the beverage its flavor and aroma.
During the process of distillation, the alcohol concentration is increased through the evaporation of water and then the alcohol is condensed down, leaving only the base liquid produced by the fungi/molds.
So we’re drinking the spirit of fermented liquid, which is the essence or quintessence of the fungi/molds and not the fruits or grains, which are only associated with forming the flavor of the specific alcoholic beverage.
This is what the word spirit is referring to when it is associated with alcoholic beverages.
It is the fungi that feed on fruits and grains that then expels their waste, i.e., urine and feces that gives the alcoholic drink its particular aroma and taste.
THE MEANING OF ALCOHOL
In the etymology of the word alcohol, we find the secret meaning of what happens when you drink fungi/mold spirits. Alcohol is a compound word comprised of the words al, co, and hol.
The first word al describes how the action is performed or when and where something is done.
The next compound word co means “together, mutually, in common,” as used in words like co-exist, co-worker, and co-pilot.
The meaning of the last word hol is “whole or entire.”
When you drink alcohol, which we know is the essence or spirit of fungi/molds, you are performing the action to come together to live mutually in common within your body with the spirits of the fungi/molds and you now become one of whole.
An unholy communion.
Think about this for a moment.
When you or someone drinks enough alcohol to become drunk to the point that they are just wasted and out of their mind, we find that true nature and essence of how we humans become one or whole with the very fungi/mold spirits in our behavior and actions.
Drinking alcohol reduces your inhibitions and impairs judgment, so it is easy to say or do things that you wouldn’t normally do when sober.
Drunkenness is the state of being intoxicated by alcohol and often leads to risky behavior and bad decisions, such as becoming violent, aggressive, sexual promiscuity, and driving while intoxicated.
Alcohol also affects cognitive processes such as memory, attention span and reasoning ability. This means that you may forget what happened while you were drunk or not remember someone else’s actions very well.
People who are drunk are more likely to forget where they’re going and get lost. They can also become disorientated in crowds or unfamiliar places.
It’s as if when people consume alcohol or spirits they perform the very action that allows fungi/mold spirits to coexist or become one/whole with their body.
As a result of communing with the unseen spirit world and not knowing the true implication, these fungal spirits may be able to high jack our neuro systems and brains to become a type of co-pilot within our bodies.
But it is not us who are truly in control.
Quite the contrary.
It is the spirit of the very fungi/molds we just consumed, who are in control of our minds and bodies and who are hell-bent upon our destruction, and everyone around us from transgressing against these natural laws in which they are God’s legislators working within our very blood.
For Saint Peter hath said, “Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
The word devour means to consume or eat up, and that is exactly what molds/fungi do to humans who are not sober-minded and alert.
The Grand Master proclaims, ” We come to complete the work and to consecrate it to the glory of the Grand Architect of the Universe, to truth, to virtue, and to light the fire of Freemasonry.”
Perhaps no other philosophical concept and symbol is more important in the history of Freemasonry than the Grand Architect of the Universe (initials T.G.A.O.T.U.), which is also sometimes referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe, The Sovereign Grand Architect of the Universe, or the All-Seeing Eye of God. The term itself has been used by Freemasons since at least 1723.
The name “Great Architect” comes from Greek words meaning “Great Artificer” or “Great Workman”; both terms refer to God’s creative powers and abilities to create anything out of nothing at all (Genesis 1:2). This idea seems very similar to what Albert Pike (1809-1891) said about God: “God is uncreated; all else is created.”
Pike claims that T.G.A.O.T.U. is invisible. He wrote, “The point is invisible as the grand architect of the universe of Freemasonry is invisible. But by singular substitution we have assembled to represent a visible sign of this invisible grace.”
In Freemasonry, there is a requirement that a Mason must believe in God, and the Grand Architect of the Universe would represent this deity.
To Freemasons, T.G.A.O.T.U. is associated with light, fire, divinity, the divine wisdom of God, and sacred geometry, which is found symbolized in Lodges as the letter G, the Blazing Star (upright pentagram) or a single eye often enclosed within a triangle with rays of light emanating from it.
God is always associated with creation, light, truth and divine wisdom.
The Masonic philosophy is based on enlightened rationalism (beliefs based on reason rather than faith) and emphasizes goodness, charity, and brotherhood among people regardless of race, creed, or religion). Each Mason has his own unique function or purpose in life and must seek spiritual enlightenment through self-realization and self-development so that he may become a better person who contributes something meaningful to society at large.
The phrase “Grand Architect” appears in Masonic rituals in various forms, such as “Grand Geometrician of the Universe” (or some variant thereof), “Great Geometrician” and “Great Architect” (or some variant thereof). The word “Geometry” here refers to “sacred geometry”, which is a system of measuring and constructing the world and cosmos that was first developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks but has been used by many cultures throughout history.
Thomas McKay wrote:
“We know, for instance, from the recent researches of the archaeologists, that in all the documents of the ancient Egyptians, written in the demotic or common character of the country, the names of the gods were invariably denoted by symbols; and I have already alluded to the different modes by which the Jews expressed the tetragrammaton.
A similar practice prevailed among the other nations of antiquity. Freemasonry has adopted the same expedient, and the Grand Architect of the Universe, whom it is the usage, even in ordinary writing, to designate by the initials G.A.O.T.U., is accordingly presented to us in a variety of symbols, three of which particularly require attention.
These are the letter G, the equilateral triangle, and the All-Seeing Eye.”
33rd Degree Freemason and author Manly P. Hall said it was an expression of a hidden reality. Hall wrote:
Freemasons have for centuries held the conception of the Universe as the material expression of a hidden reality, an invisible blueprint set down by the hand of the Grand Architect of the Universe [in his Spiritual, Moral and Masonic Trestle Board].
Hall also wrote:
“Let him never forget that the Master is near. Day and night let him feet the presence of the Supreme or Overshadowing One. The All-Seeing Eye is upon him. Day and night this great Orb measures his depths, seeing into his innermost soul of souls.”
The great duties that are inculcated by the lessons taught by the working-instruments of a Grand Master Architect, demanding so much of us, and taking for granted the capacity to perform them faithfully and fully, bring us at once to reflect upon the dignity of human nature, and the vast powers and capacities of the human soul; and to that theme we invite your attention in this Degree.
Let us begin to rise from earth toward the Stars.
Evermore the human soul struggles toward the light, toward God, and the Infinite. It is especially so in its afflictions. Words go but a little way into the depths of sorrow. The thoughts that writhe there in silence, that go into the stillness of Infinitude and Eternity, have no emblems.
Thoughts enough come there, such as no tongue ever uttered. They do not so much want human sympathy, as higher help. There is a loneliness in deep sorrow which the Deity alone can relieve. Alone, the mind wrestles with the great problem of calamity, and seeks the solution from the Infinite Providence of Heaven, and thus is led directly to God.”(Morals and Dogma Chapter 12)
HISTORY OF THE GRAND ARCHITECT
The concept of God, symbolized as an eye and being the creator or grand architect of the world, goes back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Phoenicia. The Egyptians had the Eye of Ra and Horus for thousands of years.
The Greek concept of the Grand Architect was Plato’s Demiurge (Gk., dēmiourgos, ‘craftsman’) who formed and molded the visible world. In Christianity, we have God and the LORD with the Eye of Providence dating back well over 1,200 years ago.
Many of us know the Eye of Providence from the back of our U.S. currency on the dollar bill showing an eye enclosed in a triangle and surrounded by rays of light. It was placed there by Masons to represent the eye of God, who watches over humanity, guiding us by the principles of divine providence.
It should be no surprise to some of us that many Masonic and Christain symbols adorn such important items as our currency, since many of our nation’s founders were Freemasons, including George Washington, Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, Joseph Warren, and John Hancock.
A Novus Ordo Seclorum – “A new order of the ages (is born).”
The original Great Seal of the United States of America was said to have been designed in 1782 by Charles Thomson, who, in collaboration with lawyer and artist William Barton, had originated the idea of a pyramid and Eye of Providence and other elements.
THE ANCIENT GREEK CONCEPT OF T.G.A.O.T.U. AS THE DEMIURGE
The Ancient Greek scientific concept of The Grand Architect of the Universe can be found in Plato’s Timaeus as the Demiurge, from the Greek dēmiourgos, which means craftsman. He uses the term dēmiourgos to refer both to an artisan and to an original arranger of the world.
In the opening speech, Timaeus (Timaeus 27d5-29b1) claims that the cosmos must be the product of what he calls the Demiurge, creating an eternal paradigm. Plato wrote, “To find the maker and father of this universe is a difficult task, and even once found, it’s impossible to declare him to all” (Timaeus 28c3–5).
Plato explains that it is impossible for something to come into being from nothing (27e2-28a4). The first premise is that here must be some source for motion for the universe as a whole, which is unchanging and indestructible. Plato says that an efficient cause is one that acts without being acted upon.
Meaning, the Demiurge does not receive its motion from something else. Instead, it is the first source of all motion in the universe as a whole. Timaeus states that this source must be an efficient cause (Timaeus 27d).
The Demiurge fashioned the world, people and the cosmos out of preexisting chaos which the Demiurge organized into the four elements — Earth, Water, Air and Fire. These formed the “body” of the cosmos, which was also endowed with a “soul”. The soul of the cosmos, which Plato considered as its better or more important part, was its principle of eternal and recurring circular motion, causing the circular motion of the planets, sun, moon, and stars.
Plato’s student, Aristotle added the fifth Platonoic element, aether as the prima matter of the heavenly bodies. He claimed that crystalline spheres were made of a fire like substance that was always moving, called aether. A substance that also filled the space between the celestial bodies.
According to Aristotle’s theories of motion, he believed that ether was a fire like substance that was always moving in a circular motion. But the other four elements tended to move in straight lines. The earth moved downward; fire moved upward, while water and air fell in between.
I believe that Plato’s philosophical explanation of the Demiurge and Aristotle’s aether are the closest scientific explanations of The Grand Architect of the Universe that have been posited to date. In a future essay, I will go into more detail on the Greek concept of the Demiurge and how it can be connected to modern science.
THE CHRISTIAN GRAND ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE
In Christianity, the symbol of the eye of God may be found in the Book of Proverbs, which introduces the idea that “The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge (Gnosis).”
The first known use of the symbol is in the Palatine Chapel, Aachen Cathedral, which was built by Charlemagne in 786. It was a fairly common symbol throughout the middle ages and well into the Enlightenment period.
Thomas Aquinas said in the Summa: “God, Who is the first principle of all things, may be compared to things created “as the architect is to things designed” (ut artifex ad artificiata).”
John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French reformer of the Church who calls the Christian God “the Architect of the Universe”, also referring to his works as “Architecture of the Universe”, and in his commentary on Psalm 19 refers to the Christian God as the “Great Architect” or “Architect of the Universe”. (Institutes of the Christian Religion – 1536)
In Scripture, God is the master or choirmaster of the heavens, and his handywork can be seen as the creator of the world. The firmament showeth his handywork. (Genesis 1:6, 20.) as the atmosphere enveloping the earth. Psalm 19 reads, “For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge (Gnosis).”
THE GRAND ARCHITECT IN EGYPT AS RA
The ancient Egyptians believed that Ra was the one who created everything in their world as the father of all creation.
They believed that Ra created himself out of nothingness and then created everything else in their world by speaking it into existence. He was the patron of the heavens, light, the sun, power and royalty. He was said to govern the actions of the sun.
The Eye of Ra would be one of the earliest or the first representations of the The Grand Architect of the Universe, the Eye of Providence and All-Seeing Eye of God.
Ra was one of the oldest deities in the Egyptian pantheon and was later merged with Atum to become Atum-Ra, which means “the complete one.” He also merged with the God Amon to become Amon-Ra At Thebes, becoming the principal god of the pantheon, the “king of the gods,” and the patron of kings.
All Egyptian Pharoahs from the 4th Dynasty on held the title “Son of Ra” (Son of God or the Grand Architect). As the Sons of Ra, they were tasked with governing their kingdoms and people as God issuing justice via rewards and punishments.

The Masonic Grand Architect of the Universe symbolizes creator God and the primeval creative force in both ancient and modern religions, particularly those of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
In the end, believing in the creator of the universe will always be a matter of faith and opinion.
It’s a fascinating subject with roots in Egyptian Mythology, Greek Philosophy, Christian theology and Freemasonry throughout history—and it’s one that every Mason should spend some time researching on his own in order to appreciate its many different facets.
But as you can see from the course of history, several ancient nations, religions, and secret societies such as Freemasonry believed in a creator God whom they honored and defied in their writings.
For the Masons, the idea of a Great Architect is dogmatic as with many other religions. It is a requirement to believe in God, and there are no acceptions.
An ancient tradition that is still followed to this day not only by Masons, but also by billions of people.
