With the recent bustling and house-cleaning of worn or grating individuals, a lot of the same propaganda and verbal upheavals of the Satanically-disinclined have found their way, once again, to the spigot of bullshit that permeates throughout the net. This time the usual masses of angry pariahs seeming to have established a more of a desperate momentum than last I have witnessed in the past. Having enacted a sturdy foothold in the only place where people will take them seriously: The Internet. (Where else?)

Inter-organizational bickering and complaints are not anything new, nor anything that will more than likely wane in the future. However, the individuals who have tendered themselves as the bellwethers of the Bullshit Department and Propaganda of Verbal Banter have seemed to have atoned a more desperate tactic than before. Creating entire websites designated for rumor, hear-say, doctored documents, bitch fighting, and over-attudinized zeal for their adoring audience of naive nitwits. Keeping in mind those who would want to read such erroneous "facts" would do so under the volition of digging dirt and looking for gossip regardless. Not within the intention of "looking for the truth" but rather "looking for something to do, in concordance with being a shit-disturber." Not surprising within the realization that most of all people will try to, in some way, defame those which have removed them from their den of former association. (i.e. The Church of Satan.)

In an essay I have written in the past entitled "Of Wolf and Man" I have explained the similarities between the behavior of pack animals and human beings. Often the cause of retribution by diverse means stems from the feeling of having to prove something to others, and to understate their removal from their former pack as something less than it really was. Large egos make for very touchy landings, and in any situation where everyone will realize the exact reason for your removal you will want to make that as coushy as possible. The softening of the blow from the ole' boot can manifest itself in many different forms. Badmouthing everyone and everything that is in some way related to whom or what did this to you, is just one of those methods. And when organizing, collecting, and banding together these outcasts, Satanic lepers, and derelicts you will see a much more congregated operation. Taking many "Satanic Organizations" as an example of this representation of malcontent, as well as many people. It is what I call "The Stratification of Insurgents".

This time one of the many carefully designed layers in this operation of discontent has taken the form of personally attacking individuals who have little or nothing to do with their claimants. It has exteriorized itself into the manifesto known only as the "CoS Files". A compilation of doctored and altered documents from various Church of Satan members and non-members alike, including myself. Documents legally endangering the privacy of others, presenting libel and defamations. Most of which containing little or no truth to the stories presented. Yet another artifice used to real away the gullible and naive with the gravitation of the attractiveness of gossip, rabble, and banter. Much like the "Anton Szandor LaVey: Man or Myth" collection which has seemed to have lost much of its momentum, allowing this current product to compensate for where it had slacked. Only this time, they are deliberately slapping everyone in the face, not just a dead man who cannot defend himself. Cowardice holds no boundaries.

This collection of garbage is so loosely thrown together that well over half of it has already been refuted within the first week of its emergence. It is mostly a collected form of disgruntled ex-Church of Satan members who's credibility had left them long ago and they themselves, enraged for this fact. Their plan: Destroy everyone else's credibility as well, and at any and all costs. Whether it be true or not, their mission is to make it certainly seem so. Everything from name-calling, name-dropping, and name-bashing can be found here. Their childish antics stop at no means; The majority of their writings coming off as if they had been written by Junior High school Students attempting to insult one another. The bulwark of which being little more than organized paranoia.

An example of this paranoia would the advent of their archives being graced with my very name. Evidently, according to them, I am a "Neo-Nazi spy who operates in cooperation with Rev. Andre Schlesinger of the Church of Satan that is also three different people 'all at once'". If that is not laughable enough they have also gone as far as to say I have also written Emails proclaiming that I was a "Church of Satan Member". All of which are simply not so. If they had read the information provided on my website in clear view of everyone, they would also see this. Although what they say may be forged, false, or libel they could care less as long as it had "delivered their message about the cult that is the Church of Satan", myself winding up to be an unwitting participant in their gambles just as so many others have. Their "point" being nothing but an exasperated stretch of the truth (and a confused one at that) only to have others mindlessly nod their heads along with them in agreement while they proclaim to be cult victims at the same time. To which I say: "Thanks for the hand! We were afraid we were going to have to deal with these simpletons for a second there. . ." You can have them.

Of course I have stumbled upon many of their webs(h)ites that I have ridiculed and mocked to the Earth's end, posting on their message boards, pointing out to them exactly what they were doing wrong, criminal instances, and other problems that would stagnante their progression further. But obviously after wondering why I was doing this, and exactly the reasons for this type of behavior, they had cried out "spy!" like scared sheep. Not for an instance thinking that what I have done could have been on my own accord or desire to do so. They had much rather taken the convienant and cowardly way out of the circumstances by labelling me a spy, a CoS member, and furthermore someone I am not (a real crime). Instead of thanking me from probably saving them from further embarassment, they had openly smited me in front of everyone. If this is not the definition of paranoia, confusion, and passive-agressive anger I do not know what is.

So, my point in saying the above could be summarized within the social barometers that each and every Satanist should be. Don't let me tell you what is going on, read what is said on your own and draw your own conclusion. I believe it is obvious to those of you who have eyes and ears for this kind of crap. This, sadly, is a common occurrence. Those who will fool you will often say "do not be fooled!" in their own machination against you. This is not an inter-organizational war that is being witnessed in the slightest. It is a personal grievance that was not handled in a mature, nor Satanic manner which had perpetuated into a fiasco of intangible "evidence", shit-slinging, and idiocy. They have done nothing but prove my point in posting this, and for that I thank them.

Again, referring to my theory that the pseudo-Satanist lacks an ego, and is comprised of a self that is maintained by nothing more than empty stimulation and a steady diet of hollow posturing; I believe that this website, and project is nothing more than the proof in the pudding that they, like Christianity, is on the verge of closure and fall-out. Their desperation being evidence of this event. It's not only very solitary at the top, but it is also at the bottom evidently. To paraphrase Three Dog Night: "One is the loneliest number, much worse than two."
