A "death worshiping religious cult"?
I don't know.
For the all-powerful, the urge to acquire is insatiable. Even when there is nothing material left to acquire.
So to pervert the old saying, what does a man who has every material thing give to himself?
Think of the following as a cautionary tale:
I'll share a very small part of a story told to me in the '90s by a JFK researcher whose work was well respected during that period but who to my knowledge has not been publicly active in our erstwhile community for at least 20 years. It involves repressed/recovered memory therapy (I'm aware of the attendant controversy) and the story of a young patient who, while being treated, spoke of a Satanic cult based in the Midwestern U.S. and the absurdly wealthy Republican who led it.
The patient claimed to remember that, as a young child, he/she suffered ritual sexual abuse during cult ceremonies.
In addition, the patient told of overhearing how the Republican power broker helped fund the assassination and demanded his pound of flesh: the dead president's brain -- which he and his top acolytes consumed in a ceremony held on the weekend of the 22nd of November, 1963.
As I was being told this story, I recalled the ancient hunter's ritual of consuming that part of his prey's body from which its strength was said to originate -- the heart of a wolf, for example.
Or in the slaughtered JFK's case, the source of what was perceived to be his greatest strength: his brain, the seat of his mind.
Now that's thought for food.
I assure you, there was nothing the least bit humorous about the person who told me the story or the setting in which I heard it.
My initial conclusion -- one that I've maintained to this day -- is that the JFK researcher was pitching a movie plot to me (I had a few industry connections then as I do now). Parts of the story that I'm leaving out are horrific in the extreme. Names were named. Big names.
I passed. And I haven't heard from the researcher since.
I don't know.
