00:01:10.860 Welcome to TopLobster.com, the ultimate middle finger to people who hate you anyway.
00:01:17.020 Do you want to turn their mild annoyance into a full-blown meltdown?
00:01:20.400 We're not talking about polite little digs.
00:01:22.840 I'm talking about offensive, off-the-page comments that scream,
00:01:26.860 you can't censor me.
00:01:28.320 You can't tell me what to say.
00:01:30.420 I'd apologize, but I don't think you'd believe me.
00:01:34.100 And frankly, I just don't care what you think.
00:01:36.820 At TopLobster.com, we know one thing.
00:01:40.660 Playing nice is overrated.
00:01:43.000 We push all the buttons.
00:01:44.580 We cross all the lines.
00:01:46.240 We dot all the I's.
00:01:47.480 And we live in that sweet spot where your style and your words hit like a sledgehammer on the head of your favorite politician.
00:01:54.420 So why play it safe when you can blow it up entirely?
00:01:57.060 If you're too retarded to stop and you're too real to worry about being liked by everybody,
00:02:02.460 well, you just found your favorite website.
00:02:05.480 Go to TopLobster.com, grab a shirt, grab a hoodie, grab a sweater.
00:02:09.100 That'll make your family members scream.
00:02:10.960 Because if they hate you already, you might as well give them something spectacular to complain about.
00:02:15.440 TopLobster.com.
00:02:16.780 Too retarded to stop.
00:02:18.420 I dare you to wear it.
00:02:19.680 What's up, guys?
00:02:23.860 We're back with the Sunday Share episode.
00:02:25.980 And this week we have Austin Picard, one of our favorite people.
00:02:31.060 I was cruising through his podcast, The Underclass Podcast, and I came across this episode.
00:02:37.280 And I thought it would be great for our listeners.
00:02:40.020 It really ties together some missing holes and things that we speak about.
00:02:45.140 It's just an all-around very interesting episode.
00:02:48.120 It's about a bunch of serial killers.
00:02:49.160 But, I mean, you guys are going to get into it in a minute.
00:02:52.100 Austin can be found on The Underclass Podcast.
00:02:55.280 He also does a show with Jose Galizan called Already Dead.
00:03:00.300 Jose's the homie from Tower Gang, and he's also been on a couple of times.
00:03:04.160 Austin has been on a few times as well, and I think he'll be a continuing guest in the near future
00:03:09.360 because the expertise and the information that he brings is just second to none.
00:03:13.880 The guy really does his homework.
00:03:15.160 So, he was kind enough to give us this episode to air to our people.
00:03:19.840 And hopefully you guys go over there and follow him and see whatever he's doing
00:03:23.080 because we really need people like that in the community.
00:03:26.600 But anyway, without further ado, here is episode 53 of The Underclass Podcast,
00:03:32.000 The Ultimate Evil Process Church of the Final Judgment.
00:03:35.360 Enjoy.
00:03:46.760 Welcome to The Underclass Podcast with Austin Picard.
00:03:50.100 I'm an independent researcher who can't stomach being lied to on a daily basis by the mainstream media
00:03:56.260 while we live in a fracturing society launched into parallel realities,
00:04:01.360 falling perfectly onto the two sides of the political spectrum.
00:04:05.260 I remain in The Underclass.
00:04:07.380 A U.S. Navy psychologist, who claims that the Office of Naval Intelligence
00:04:17.440 had taken convicted murderers from military prisons,
00:04:21.860 used behavior modification techniques on them,
00:04:25.380 and then relocated them in American embassies throughout the world.
00:04:29.000 The Navy psychologist was Lieutenant Thomas Nerut
00:04:34.220 of the U.S. Regional Medical Center in Naples, Italy.
00:04:38.820 The information was divulged at an Oslo NATO conference
00:04:42.700 of 120 psychologists from the 11-Nation Alliance.
00:04:47.340 The Navy provided all the funding necessary, according to Nerut.
00:04:51.600 Dr. Nerut, in a question-and-answer session with reporters from many nations,
00:04:56.560 revealed how the Navy was secretly programming large numbers of assassins.
00:05:02.560 He said that the men he had worked with for the Navy
00:05:05.840 were being prepared for commando-type operations,
00:05:09.200 as well as covert operations in U.S. embassies worldwide.
00:05:14.500 He described the men who went through his program as hitmen and assassins
00:05:19.100 who would kill on command.
00:05:22.100 Careful screening of the subjects was accomplished by Navy psychologists
00:05:26.080 through the military records,
00:05:28.300 and many were convicted murderers serving military prison sentences.
00:05:33.080 The Ionia State Mental Hospital in Michigan
00:05:36.220 was later exposed as being one of many facilities
00:05:40.000 complicit in the CIA's human behavioral modification research,
00:05:44.760 otherwise known as MKUltra mind control experiments.
00:05:49.360 Convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas
00:05:51.800 is largely considered to have been one of many criminally insane patients
00:05:55.860 who were unknowingly forced into the CIA's brutal experimentation
00:05:59.780 while admitted at Ionia,
00:06:01.980 before being paroled in 1970,
00:06:04.920 and killing at least two women before his final arrest in 1983.
00:06:10.180 While incarcerated for these crimes,
00:06:13.100 he falsely confessed to approximately 600 additional murders
00:06:16.980 to Texas Rangers and other law enforcement officials.
00:06:21.240 Adam Walsh was a seven-year-old boy
00:06:23.960 who was abducted from a Sears department store
00:06:26.460 at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida
00:06:28.600 on July 27, 1981.
00:06:32.200 His severed head was found two weeks later
00:06:35.200 in a drainage canal alongside Highway 60.
00:06:39.920 Convicted serial killer Otis Toole
00:06:42.360 would repeatedly confess to Adam's kidnapping and murder,
00:06:46.120 but would then retract his story
00:06:48.480 before confessing to the crime all over again.
00:06:52.540 He was never convicted of the crime
00:06:54.240 because evidence was reportedly lost,
00:06:57.340 and Toole ultimately recanted his confession
00:06:59.760 until admitting to the crime one final time on his deathbed.
00:07:05.040 Brutal Proof published an article in November 2013
00:07:08.420 making the compelling case that Otis Toole
00:07:11.820 was the gay lover and partner in crime of another serial killer.
00:07:15.280 Henry Lee Lucas.
00:07:17.720 Lucas and Toole met at a Jacksonville soup kitchen,
00:07:21.640 and they soon developed a sexual relationship
00:07:23.800 which led to a cross-country crime spree together.
00:07:27.560 Both were caught up with by law enforcement agents separately,
00:07:31.940 Toole in April 1983 for arson in Jacksonville,
00:07:36.080 and Lucas two months later
00:07:37.620 for the killing of an 82-year-old woman.
00:07:39.920 But both told the story
00:07:42.360 that they were members of a cannibalistic cult
00:07:44.940 based in the Everglades
00:07:46.480 called the Hand of Death.
00:07:49.180 In Max Call's book, Hand of Death,
00:07:51.780 Henry tells of his indoctrination
00:07:53.700 into a nationwide satanic cult
00:07:56.020 and says that he was trained by the cult
00:07:58.840 in a mobile paramilitary camp
00:08:01.600 in the Florida Everglades
00:08:02.920 in the fine art of killing.
00:08:05.280 Other training involved abduction
00:08:07.280 and arson techniques.
00:08:09.720 The first task he was given
00:08:11.600 was the murder of one of the students,
00:08:14.680 a young black homosexual
00:08:16.100 who had betrayed his oath to the devil.
00:08:19.100 He slit the man's throat,
00:08:20.960 and later that same evening,
00:08:22.780 a satanic ritual was performed
00:08:24.800 in which the dead man's heart was cut out,
00:08:27.920 his blood drained,
00:08:29.480 and his body dismembered.
00:08:30.940 All of the initiated members of the Hand
00:08:34.280 drank the dead man's blood
00:08:36.380 and ate pieces of his flesh.
00:08:39.220 The remains of the body
00:08:40.760 were then burned at an altar.
00:08:43.380 There were several hundred students
00:08:44.940 at the Hand of Death training camp
00:08:46.700 coming from six different countries.
00:08:49.600 Over half of them were women.
00:08:52.000 The camp provided unlimited access
00:08:54.040 to all kinds of drug-taking,
00:08:56.480 which was encouraged recreational activity.
00:08:58.840 They claimed to have met a man
00:09:01.500 calling himself Don Materic
00:09:03.340 who invited them to come to Miami
00:09:05.480 and do contract killings
00:09:07.160 for the Hand of Death.
00:09:09.280 Materic and Tool eventually admitted to Lucas
00:09:11.980 that Tool had already been working
00:09:14.340 for Materic for years.
00:09:16.860 According to Court TV,
00:09:18.980 Lucas later said that at the time,
00:09:21.280 he'd felt betrayed by Otis
00:09:22.840 and manipulated by him
00:09:24.480 into joining the cult.
00:09:26.480 Be that as it may,
00:09:27.480 Lucas happily stayed a member
00:09:29.680 and committed many more murders
00:09:31.360 at their behest.
00:09:33.260 The group allegedly operated
00:09:34.660 on remote swamplands
00:09:36.080 deep in the Everglades,
00:09:37.960 accessible only by airboat.
00:09:40.880 Police helicopters surveyed the Everglades
00:09:43.220 and reported no sign of the encampments.
00:09:47.000 Lucas told interviewers
00:09:48.580 that the Hand of Death
00:09:50.120 has connections to elements
00:09:52.280 within the U.S. government,
00:09:53.600 so they were no doubt
00:09:55.260 tipped off in advance
00:09:56.680 in order to remain unseen.
00:09:59.740 Reiterated in Dave McGowan's book,
00:10:01.800 Program to Kill,
00:10:03.300 was the extraordinary fact
00:10:04.800 that Lucas had claimed
00:10:06.200 that he was trained
00:10:07.260 by a nationwide satanic cult
00:10:09.320 in a mobile paramilitary training camp
00:10:12.060 in the Florida Everglades.
00:10:14.680 Henry further claimed
00:10:15.880 the leaders of the camp
00:10:17.200 were so impressed
00:10:18.180 with his handling of a knife
00:10:19.680 that he was allowed
00:10:20.900 to serve as an instructor.
00:10:23.280 Following his training,
00:10:25.020 Henry claimed
00:10:25.640 that he served the cult
00:10:26.800 in various ways,
00:10:28.480 including as a contract killer
00:10:30.140 and as an abductor of children,
00:10:32.640 whom he delivered
00:10:33.360 to a ranch in Mexico
00:10:34.740 near Juarez.
00:10:36.900 Three days before Lucas
00:10:38.660 was scheduled to be executed,
00:10:41.120 then-Governor George W. Bush,
00:10:43.680 infamous for refusing
00:10:44.880 to grant stays of execution
00:10:46.600 to any death row inmate,
00:10:48.220 did something
00:10:49.600 he had never done before
00:10:51.020 or since.
00:10:52.760 He saved Henry Lee Lucas
00:10:54.400 from the electric chair
00:10:55.760 and commuted his sentence
00:10:57.540 to life in prison instead.
00:11:00.140 Of all the inmates
00:11:01.520 he sent to death,
00:11:03.080 many far more deserving
00:11:04.560 of leniency than Lucas.
00:11:06.960 He even sent to death
00:11:08.120 a great-grandmother
00:11:09.180 who killed her abusive husband
00:11:10.900 in self-defense.
00:11:12.900 Bush chose to spare the life
00:11:14.680 of one of America's
00:11:15.840 most notorious serial killers,
00:11:17.640 does that seem odd to you?

00:11:47.640 Hi, I'm Darren Marlar,
00:11:50.520 host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:11:52.260 I want to talk about
00:11:52.980 the most important tool
00:11:54.180 in my podcast belt.
00:11:55.580 Spreaker is the all-in-one platform
00:11:57.400 that makes it easy
00:11:58.220 to record, host,
00:11:59.340 and distribute your show
00:12:00.420 everywhere,
00:12:01.040 from Apple Podcasts
00:12:02.200 to Spotify.
00:12:02.920 But the real game changer
00:12:04.000 for me was Spreaker's
00:12:05.380 monetization.
00:12:06.400 Spreaker offers
00:12:07.080 dynamic ad insertion.
00:12:08.680 That means you can
00:12:09.180 automatically insert ads
00:12:10.460 into your episodes.
00:12:11.520 No editing required.
00:12:12.780 And with Spreaker's
00:12:13.700 programmatic ads,
00:12:14.720 they'll bring the ads
00:12:15.600 to you,
00:12:16.200 and you get paid
00:12:17.040 for every download.
00:12:18.060 This turned my podcasting hobby
00:12:19.620 into a full-time career.
00:12:21.140 Spreaker also has
00:12:22.040 a premium subscription model
00:12:23.540 where your most
00:12:24.160 dedicated listeners
00:12:25.100 can pay for bonus content

00:12:27.820 adding another revenue stream
00:12:29.180 to what you're already doing.
00:12:30.460 And the best part,

00:12:45.960 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.
00:12:49.840 McGowan goes on
00:12:50.900 to point out in the book
00:12:52.140 that it could just be
00:12:53.880 a coincidence that Tool,
00:12:55.480 who was convicted
00:12:56.260 in the state of Florida,
00:12:58.160 shared with Henry
00:12:59.160 the fate of having
00:13:00.260 his death sentence commuted.
00:13:01.880 Florida is, of course,
00:13:04.860 a state that is also
00:13:06.060 overly zealous
00:13:07.040 in its application
00:13:08.100 of the death penalty.
00:13:10.260 Not zealous enough
00:13:11.320 to execute the likes
00:13:12.500 of Otis Tool, however.
00:13:14.980 In any event,
00:13:16.380 it's interesting
00:13:17.080 that both of these men
00:13:18.400 had their death sentences
00:13:19.660 set aside in states
00:13:21.180 run by a member
00:13:22.140 of the Bush family.
00:13:24.400 According to
00:13:25.060 investigative journalist
00:13:26.300 Anna Griffey,
00:13:28.120 by 1978,
00:13:29.920 when they found themselves
00:13:31.060 without a home,
00:13:32.720 Otis told Henry
00:13:33.700 he'd done more killing
00:13:34.880 than he told him about.
00:13:36.880 He'd been made a member
00:13:37.960 of the satanic cult
00:13:39.300 at the Hand of Death
00:13:40.420 and wanted Henry
00:13:41.760 to join too.
00:13:43.580 This wasn't the first time
00:13:44.900 that Henry would have killed,
00:13:46.680 raped,
00:13:47.100 or even possibly
00:13:48.100 cannibalized another human.
00:13:50.400 But this was very detailed
00:13:52.260 and had repercussions
00:13:53.940 that would lead
00:13:54.660 to your death
00:13:55.440 without exception.
00:13:57.500 Lucas later confessed
00:13:58.780 that he wanted to join
00:14:00.140 and told Otis.
00:14:02.000 He understood
00:14:02.600 he would be killed
00:14:03.580 if he did anything
00:14:04.520 to betray the cult
00:14:05.540 and that the only way out
00:14:07.400 was death.
00:14:09.140 Otis told Henry
00:14:10.120 that the satanic rituals
00:14:11.580 would keep them safe
00:14:12.900 and from being caught.
00:14:15.100 There was a power there
00:14:16.320 they would be protected by
00:14:17.860 as long as they obeyed
00:14:19.720 the cult.
00:14:21.420 Henry and Otis
00:14:22.320 went to Florida
00:14:23.520 to have Henry
00:14:24.280 see the training camp
00:14:25.500 that was set up
00:14:26.280 in the Everglades.
00:14:28.440 There,
00:14:29.180 in an isolated spot,
00:14:31.240 they met a man
00:14:32.000 named Don
00:14:32.660 that Otis seemed
00:14:33.680 to know well.
00:14:35.420 It was becoming clear
00:14:36.620 to Henry
00:14:37.160 that Otis had already
00:14:38.840 proved himself
00:14:39.660 to the cult
00:14:40.300 many times over.
00:14:42.380 Now he must do the same
00:14:43.860 if he wanted to join.
00:14:45.900 They went to a tent
00:14:46.920 where a young man
00:14:47.880 was drinking
00:14:48.500 and smoking.
00:14:50.200 Don looked at Henry
00:14:51.160 and told him,
00:14:52.600 kill him
00:14:53.120 and make it clean.
00:14:54.740 Only then
00:14:56.080 will you be one of us.
00:14:58.220 The man was a student
00:14:59.720 who betrayed his oath
00:15:01.360 to the cult
00:15:02.040 and must be killed,
00:15:03.880 Don explained.
00:15:05.840 Otis had a bottle
00:15:06.920 of whiskey
00:15:07.480 and was ready to go.
00:15:09.320 They walked down
00:15:10.040 to the water
00:15:10.620 with the young man
00:15:11.540 who was still drinking
00:15:12.860 and talking.
00:15:14.400 Henry waited
00:15:15.000 until he stood
00:15:15.780 at the edge of the water
00:15:16.800 and was tipping his head
00:15:18.000 back for a drink
00:15:19.020 when he grabbed him
00:15:20.340 from behind
00:15:20.980 and slid his throat
00:15:21.980 so deeply
00:15:22.680 that the whiskey
00:15:23.460 poured out
00:15:24.200 mingled with blood
00:15:25.360 flowing down his hands.
00:15:28.260 Don smiled
00:15:29.020 at such a clean kill.
00:15:31.520 The body,
00:15:32.160 according to Henry,
00:15:33.660 was used
00:15:34.280 in a cult ritual
00:15:35.300 where the body
00:15:36.060 was mutilated,
00:15:37.640 the heart cut out
00:15:38.660 and some of the flesh
00:15:40.200 eaten.
00:15:41.660 After that,
00:15:42.980 Henry was a member
00:15:43.920 and in training.
00:15:45.160 According to him,
00:15:46.340 all new members
00:15:47.280 had a sponsor.
00:15:49.100 The camp
00:15:49.540 had both men
00:15:50.380 and women
00:15:50.840 and had both
00:15:51.960 day and night activities.
00:15:54.100 Days were for training
00:15:55.140 in all forms of crime,
00:15:57.120 murder,
00:15:57.760 kidnapping,
00:15:58.620 rape,
00:15:59.360 drug selling
00:16:00.000 and the making
00:16:00.640 of pornographic movies
00:16:02.040 and photos.
00:16:03.760 That night,
00:16:04.720 there were liquor
00:16:05.300 and drugs
00:16:05.920 for everyone
00:16:06.680 and Henry claimed
00:16:08.040 sex was plentiful.
00:16:10.140 There were evening sacrifices,
00:16:12.400 transient people
00:16:13.360 or sometimes people
00:16:14.480 who had in some way
00:16:15.540 or another
00:16:16.020 betrayed the cult
00:16:17.040 and was considered
00:16:18.280 a liability.
00:16:20.300 It was as if
00:16:21.000 there were no shortage
00:16:22.080 of bodies to kill
00:16:23.280 and Henry was quite
00:16:24.900 willing to kill
00:16:25.720 as many as he possibly could.
00:16:28.660 Engaging in the
00:16:29.480 training activities
00:16:30.340 with his partner
00:16:31.220 assigned by the cult,
00:16:33.100 Henry was trained
00:16:34.060 for seven weeks
00:16:35.100 in almost every form
00:16:36.540 of criminal activity
00:16:37.660 imaginable.
00:16:39.540 Shortly after
00:16:40.180 his training
00:16:40.720 was completed,
00:16:42.380 he was assigned
00:16:43.000 to the kidnapping
00:16:43.780 division of the organization.
00:16:45.320 Otis was there
00:16:47.440 to work with him
00:16:48.200 and they were told
00:16:49.060 they could make
00:16:49.620 a lot of money
00:16:50.280 by kidnapping.
00:16:51.660 There would be no killing
00:16:52.600 and it would be
00:16:53.240 much easier.
00:16:54.820 In 1978,
00:16:56.500 the chances
00:16:56.960 of being caught
00:16:57.860 were much slimmer,
00:16:59.480 the Amber Alert
00:17:00.200 not having been
00:17:00.980 instituted yet.
00:17:02.800 Henry and Otis
00:17:03.680 took their first job
00:17:04.760 by kidnapping
00:17:05.440 three babies
00:17:06.380 and running them
00:17:07.100 across the border
00:17:07.900 of Mexico
00:17:08.540 to a ranch
00:17:09.340 in Chihuahua.
00:17:11.220 Henry claimed
00:17:11.980 he and Otis
00:17:12.720 also kidnapped
00:17:13.680 several teenage girls
00:17:15.100 that were used
00:17:16.320 in pornographic
00:17:17.200 snuff films.
00:17:19.000 Knowing that
00:17:19.740 they would die
00:17:20.500 at the end
00:17:21.060 wasn't troubling
00:17:22.200 for him.
00:17:23.520 By that time,
00:17:24.900 he'd killed
00:17:25.380 so many people,
00:17:27.040 he said it just
00:17:27.700 didn't matter anymore.
00:17:29.840 But the stakes
00:17:30.520 were higher
00:17:31.100 in the killing game
00:17:32.100 than in the
00:17:32.580 kidnapping operations.
00:17:34.640 After nearly a year,
00:17:36.520 Henry asked
00:17:37.100 to be transferred there.
00:17:39.360 In a year,
00:17:40.600 he claimed
00:17:41.040 to have carried out
00:17:41.940 six high-profile
00:17:43.220 executions.
00:17:44.920 Most of these
00:17:45.700 were in Texas
00:17:46.840 and Mexico
00:17:47.580 with one in Canada.
00:17:50.300 He told the police
00:17:51.680 at the time
00:17:52.220 of his incarceration
00:17:53.120 that he was
00:17:54.440 offered the job
00:17:55.400 of delivering
00:17:56.160 the cyanide
00:17:57.040 to Jim Jones
00:17:58.080 in Guyana
00:17:58.780 and assassinating
00:18:00.300 then-President
00:18:01.060 Jimmy Carter.
00:18:02.940 How much
00:18:03.940 all of this
00:18:04.640 is fact
00:18:05.260 and not a figment
00:18:06.220 of Henry's imagination,
00:18:08.440 one is left
00:18:09.200 to speculate.
00:18:09.920 Have we largely
00:18:12.240 been conditioned
00:18:13.160 to oversimplify
00:18:14.660 the underlying
00:18:15.400 motivations
00:18:16.300 driving such
00:18:17.600 irrational
00:18:18.280 human action
00:18:19.260 as disturbing
00:18:20.220 and evil
00:18:20.900 and serial
00:18:21.940 ritual murder?
00:18:23.880 Whether it be
00:18:25.040 through calculated
00:18:25.920 deception
00:18:26.520 or the desperate
00:18:28.000 need for a
00:18:28.820 plausible explanation,
00:18:30.440 the end result
00:18:31.740 remains the same.
00:18:33.880 This week,
00:18:35.220 we set out
00:18:36.220 looking for the truth,
00:18:37.240 only to find
00:18:39.040 the truth
00:18:39.600 almost too
00:18:40.480 frightening
00:18:40.960 to contemplate.
00:18:43.380 Into this abyss
00:18:44.460 we reluctantly
00:18:45.320 walk,
00:18:46.580 not knowing
00:18:47.300 we have vastly
00:18:48.300 underestimated
00:18:49.380 the scope
00:18:50.600 of the ultimate
00:18:51.360 evil.
00:18:52.920 What if
00:18:53.940 an organization
00:18:54.760 existed,
00:18:56.160 providing bold
00:18:57.000 connections
00:18:57.600 between the
00:18:58.340 most infamous
00:18:59.100 serial killers
00:19:00.020 in American history,
00:19:02.140 various satanic
00:19:03.140 cult groups
00:19:03.960 well-versed
00:19:04.780 in occult
00:19:05.260 principles
00:19:05.860 with deep
00:19:06.680 ties to
00:19:07.340 elite secret
00:19:08.020 societies
00:19:08.800 and sinister
00:19:10.460 covert action
00:19:11.600 wielding
00:19:12.120 insidious
00:19:12.680 clandestine
00:19:13.520 operational
00:19:14.240 methods.
00:19:16.140 Many
00:19:16.980 investigators
00:19:17.720 and intrepid
00:19:18.560 reporters
00:19:19.140 have connected
00:19:20.500 this well-established
00:19:21.700 cult organization
00:19:22.780 to a nationwide
00:19:24.420 wave of
00:19:25.480 murderous mayhem,
00:19:27.140 including the
00:19:27.800 likes of
00:19:28.300 Jeffrey Dahmer,
00:19:29.640 the Zodiac
00:19:30.240 Killings,
00:19:31.500 Smiley Face
00:19:32.380 Killers,
00:19:33.620 Charlie Manson
00:19:34.580 and the family,
00:19:35.860 Henry Lee Lucas
00:19:37.180 and the Hand
00:19:37.740 of Death,
00:19:39.100 the ritual
00:19:39.560 murder of
00:19:40.240 Arliss Perry
00:19:41.060 inside the
00:19:42.180 Stanford Memorial
00:19:43.140 Church within
00:19:43.980 the grounds
00:19:44.540 of Stanford
00:19:45.100 University,
00:19:46.620 the murder
00:19:47.080 of producer
00:19:47.800 Roy Radin,
00:19:49.380 Adolfo
00:19:49.940 Costanzo's
00:19:50.860 and La Madrina's
00:19:51.860 narco-satanist
00:19:52.940 and metamoros
00:19:54.020 responsible for
00:19:55.080 the ritual
00:19:55.580 killing of
00:19:56.300 American student
00:19:57.300 Mark Gilroy,
00:19:59.480 and David
00:20:00.020 Berkowitz,
00:20:01.400 the infamous
00:20:02.040 serial killer,
00:20:03.600 widely considered
00:20:04.540 the lone wolf
00:20:05.520 and the son
00:20:06.040 of Sam
00:20:06.460 Killings.
00:20:08.360 Our story
00:20:09.460 begins with
00:20:11.060 the foundation
00:20:11.760 of a sinister
00:20:12.580 organization
00:20:13.400 with deep
00:20:14.760 ties to the
00:20:15.600 occult underground
00:20:16.640 given the
00:20:17.860 name
00:20:18.200 The Process
00:20:19.640 Church of the
00:20:20.540 Final Judgment.
00:20:22.540 According to
00:20:23.500 author Maury Terry
00:20:24.640 in chapter 9
00:20:25.720 of his book
00:20:26.400 The Ultimate
00:20:27.140 Evil,
00:20:28.340 originally published
00:20:29.420 in 1987,
00:20:31.320 The Process
00:20:32.060 Church of the
00:20:32.880 Final Judgment,
00:20:33.920 was born in
00:20:34.600 London,
00:20:35.160 England,
00:20:36.140 in 1963-64,
00:20:39.280 the damien
00:20:39.860 child of two
00:20:40.860 ranking members
00:20:41.800 of the Church
00:20:42.420 of Scientology
00:20:43.440 who'd split
00:20:44.660 with the parent
00:20:45.320 organization
00:20:46.080 following some
00:20:47.060 philosophical
00:20:47.720 differences with
00:20:48.760 the teachings
00:20:49.360 of L. Ron
00:20:50.080 Hubbard,
00:20:51.160 the developer
00:20:51.740 of Scientology.
00:20:53.520 The founding
00:20:54.560 couple of The
00:20:55.360 Process,
00:20:56.560 Robert Moore
00:20:57.360 and Mary Ann
00:20:58.160 McLean,
00:20:59.620 met while
00:21:00.240 receiving advanced
00:21:01.240 training at the
00:21:02.060 Hubbard Institute
00:21:02.800 of Scientology
00:21:03.900 on London's
00:21:04.740 Fitzroy Street.
00:21:06.940 Divorcing Hubbard,
00:21:08.680 they married
00:21:09.220 one another
00:21:09.800 and adopted
00:21:10.460 the cult
00:21:10.980 name
00:21:11.320 De Grimston
00:21:12.140 for themselves.
00:21:14.660 Robert Moore
00:21:15.360 De Grimston
00:21:16.080 was born
00:21:17.380 in Shanghai,
00:21:18.360 China
00:21:18.660 on August 10,
00:21:20.040 1935.
00:21:22.140 David Berkowitz,
00:21:23.160 or the son
00:21:23.560 of Sam Killer,
00:21:25.240 would be
00:21:25.660 coincidentally
00:21:26.340 arrested
00:21:26.920 on De Grimston's
00:21:27.980 birthday.
00:21:28.460 De Grimston,
00:21:30.680 a tall,
00:21:31.280 bearded blonde
00:21:32.120 who affected
00:21:33.220 a Christ-like
00:21:34.020 appearance
00:21:34.640 with an educated
00:21:36.120 man,
00:21:37.060 studying at
00:21:37.760 Winchester
00:21:38.340 in England
00:21:38.980 and later
00:21:40.160 pursuing a
00:21:40.940 career in
00:21:41.520 architecture
00:21:42.180 at the
00:21:42.680 Regent Street
00:21:43.340 Polytechnic
00:21:44.160 Institute.
00:21:45.740 His bride's
00:21:46.860 background
00:21:47.280 was checkered.
00:21:48.980 Mary Ann
00:21:49.440 McLean
00:21:49.920 De Grimston
00:21:50.580 was born
00:21:51.660 illegitimately
00:21:52.520 in Glasgow,
00:21:53.480 Scotland
00:21:53.840 on November
00:21:54.680 20,
00:21:55.380 1931.
00:21:56.220 She reportedly
00:21:58.040 endured
00:21:58.580 a frustrating
00:21:59.360 childhood,
00:22:00.780 punctuated
00:22:01.340 by tenure
00:22:02.000 in a reform
00:22:02.720 school.
00:22:04.400 Mary Ann
00:22:04.860 subsequently
00:22:05.520 entered the
00:22:06.160 United States
00:22:06.960 where she
00:22:07.840 managed to
00:22:08.400 meet former
00:22:09.000 boxing champion
00:22:10.080 Sugar Ray
00:22:10.740 Robinson
00:22:11.280 and became
00:22:12.380 engaged in him.
00:22:14.340 However,
00:22:15.240 the relationship
00:22:15.980 ended and
00:22:16.880 Mary Ann
00:22:17.400 returned to
00:22:18.060 England
00:22:18.440 where she
00:22:19.300 worked as
00:22:19.740 a dance
00:22:20.180 hall hostess.
00:22:22.000 At a dwelling
00:22:22.960 in London,
00:22:24.200 she became
00:22:24.800 romantically
00:22:25.400 involved with
00:22:26.380 several prominent
00:22:27.260 British citizens
00:22:28.300 during the
00:22:28.880 days of the
00:22:29.560 John Perfumo
00:22:30.520 Christine
00:22:31.320 Keillor
00:22:31.840 prostitution
00:22:32.620 scandal
00:22:33.220 which rocked
00:22:34.520 the British
00:22:35.020 government
00:22:35.500 in the early
00:22:36.260 1960s.
00:22:38.540 At least
00:22:38.920 one of those
00:22:39.640 linked to the
00:22:40.300 Perfumo
00:22:40.780 affair,
00:22:42.180 Dr. Stephen
00:22:42.920 Ward,
00:22:43.960 was an
00:22:44.360 occult
00:22:44.700 adept.
00:22:46.180 Ward soon
00:22:46.800 died,
00:22:48.100 an apparent
00:22:48.600 suicide.
00:22:50.440 It was
00:22:50.860 during this
00:22:51.480 tumultuous
00:22:52.120 period that
00:22:53.060 Robert Moore
00:22:53.820 and Mary Ann
00:22:54.640 McLean
00:22:55.240 met while
00:22:56.320 immersed in
00:22:57.100 profound
00:22:57.580 mental exercises
00:22:58.780 at the
00:22:59.280 Hubbard
00:22:59.580 Institute
00:23:00.080 of Scientology.
00:23:01.240 Hi, I'm
00:23:02.400 Darren Marlar,
00:23:03.220 host of the
00:23:03.640 Weird Darkness
00:23:04.240 podcast.
00:23:04.960 I want to
00:23:05.280 talk about
00:23:05.660 the most
00:23:06.080 important tool
00:23:06.860 in my
00:23:07.240 podcast belt.

00:23:15.600 But the real
00:23:16.060 game-changer
00:23:16.680 for me was

00:23:18.060 monetization.

00:23:58.680 That's S-P-R-E-A-K
00:24:00.480 S-P-R-E-A-R-D-C-O-M.
00:24:02.280 On their own,
00:24:03.700 and with their
00:24:04.200 new cult names,
00:24:05.880 the Grimstons
00:24:06.640 began to experiment
00:24:07.760 with sophisticated
00:24:08.820 mind control games.
00:24:11.300 They started a center
00:24:12.740 to study what they
00:24:13.760 termed
00:24:14.520 compulsion analysis,
00:24:16.680 a research
00:24:17.340 into elimination
00:24:18.260 of compulsive
00:24:19.160 behavior.
00:24:20.640 They preached
00:24:21.460 a doctrine
00:24:22.060 of free choice,
00:24:23.660 declaring that
00:24:24.300 individuals were
00:24:25.280 completely responsible
00:24:26.420 for their own
00:24:27.260 fates,
00:24:28.040 actions,
00:24:28.460 and afflictions.
00:24:30.440 Mary Ann,
00:24:31.240 for instance,
00:24:32.520 reportedly believed
00:24:33.620 that Jews
00:24:34.440 chose the gas
00:24:35.540 chambers,
00:24:36.720 and even birth
00:24:37.600 defects were said
00:24:38.640 to be freely
00:24:39.360 selected and
00:24:40.280 carried into the
00:24:41.100 present from
00:24:41.880 past lives,
00:24:43.400 as the
00:24:43.780 de Grimstons
00:24:44.440 also believed
00:24:45.380 in reincarnation.
00:24:47.480 The gods
00:24:48.460 they worshipped
00:24:49.280 were two in
00:24:50.320 number,
00:24:51.520 Jehovah
00:24:51.940 and Lucifer.
00:24:53.920 Not surprisingly,
00:24:55.540 the fledgling
00:24:56.180 process attracted
00:24:57.420 a following.
00:24:58.860 Young,
00:24:59.620 searching,
00:25:00.220 and disturbed
00:25:00.800 men and women
00:25:01.740 were drawn to
00:25:02.980 the group
00:25:03.420 like metal
00:25:04.060 to a magnet.
00:25:05.980 The de Grimstons
00:25:06.760 also actively
00:25:07.780 recruited,
00:25:09.000 particularly from
00:25:09.960 the ranks
00:25:10.480 of the wealthy
00:25:11.160 young.
00:25:12.660 This cult
00:25:13.540 modus operandi
00:25:14.620 is an important
00:25:16.020 one,
00:25:17.020 worthy of
00:25:17.580 remembrance.
00:25:19.200 Moneyed
00:25:19.600 recruits
00:25:20.160 served two
00:25:20.940 purposes.
00:25:22.320 First,
00:25:23.180 they could be
00:25:23.680 tapped for
00:25:24.280 sizable donations
00:25:25.340 that would
00:25:25.900 allow the cult
00:25:26.640 to expand
00:25:27.480 and its
00:25:28.280 leaders to
00:25:28.860 maintain an
00:25:29.560 appropriate
00:25:30.080 lifestyle.
00:25:31.940 Second,
00:25:33.120 wealthy converts
00:25:34.140 often held
00:25:35.000 top jobs
00:25:35.860 or had
00:25:36.240 important
00:25:36.660 connections,
00:25:37.900 enabling the
00:25:38.640 cult to
00:25:39.220 gain entry
00:25:39.880 into powerful
00:25:40.580 businesses,
00:25:41.780 entertainment,
00:25:42.860 government,
00:25:43.460 and financial
00:25:44.020 circles,
00:25:45.260 laying the
00:25:45.720 foundation for
00:25:46.620 an influential
00:25:47.380 cultic
00:25:48.100 old-boy
00:25:48.740 network.
00:25:50.180 In March
00:25:51.000 1966,
00:25:53.040 the de Grimstons,
00:25:53.880 flushed with
00:25:54.960 success,
00:25:56.260 leased a
00:25:56.720 mansion on
00:25:57.460 Balfour Place
00:25:58.440 in London's
00:25:59.180 fashionable
00:25:59.720 Mayfair section.
00:26:01.960 Now totally
00:26:02.820 absorbed in
00:26:03.580 their power
00:26:04.060 trip,
00:26:05.080 they brought
00:26:05.460 twenty-five
00:26:06.340 groveling
00:26:06.980 followers into
00:26:07.880 the house
00:26:08.340 with them.
00:26:09.680 Here,
00:26:10.440 the German
00:26:10.880 shepherds
00:26:11.460 entered the
00:26:11.980 picture as
00:26:12.620 the de Grimstons
00:26:13.460 each obtained
00:26:14.320 a large
00:26:14.840 Alsatian,
00:26:16.180 a breed of
00:26:16.700 German shepherd.
00:26:18.400 To mirror
00:26:19.280 their leaders,
00:26:20.660 the acolytes
00:26:21.440 also purchased
00:26:22.340 German shepherds,
00:26:23.780 and their
00:26:24.140 canine core
00:26:24.940 grew to
00:26:25.380 over thirty
00:26:26.020 in number.
00:26:27.760 The de Grimstons
00:26:28.620 weren't content
00:26:29.420 with a limited
00:26:30.100 operation,
00:26:31.000 however.
00:26:32.080 In the
00:26:32.400 tradition of
00:26:33.060 egomaniacal
00:26:34.040 gurus
00:26:34.600 everywhere,
00:26:35.760 they decided
00:26:36.320 to expand
00:26:37.080 internationally.
00:26:39.300 Accordingly,
00:26:40.300 they,
00:26:40.820 along with
00:26:41.220 eighteen disciples
00:26:42.160 and a number
00:26:42.940 of Alsatians,
00:26:44.400 embarked for
00:26:45.000 Nassau for
00:26:45.720 six weeks
00:26:46.460 before leasing
00:26:47.300 a large
00:26:47.820 tract of land
00:26:48.720 on the beach
00:26:49.360 in Stuhl,
00:26:50.040 Mexico,
00:26:51.120 which is
00:26:51.500 situated on
00:26:52.300 the Yucatan
00:26:52.860 Peninsula.
00:26:54.920 The Mexican
00:26:55.440 period was
00:26:56.320 a significant
00:26:57.040 one,
00:26:58.040 because while
00:26:58.540 in Stuhl,
00:26:59.780 process's two
00:27:00.680 gods,
00:27:01.740 Lucifer and
00:27:02.460 Jehovah,
00:27:03.720 were joined
00:27:04.300 by a third,
00:27:05.940 Satan.
00:27:07.460 For the first
00:27:08.060 time,
00:27:08.960 the group
00:27:09.380 began conducting
00:27:10.460 moonlight
00:27:11.040 satanic
00:27:11.700 rituals.
00:27:13.340 Also at
00:27:13.980 Stuhl,
00:27:14.980 the notion
00:27:15.520 of founding
00:27:16.160 a formal
00:27:16.740 process church
00:27:17.700 evolved.
00:27:18.720 To
00:27:19.560 process
00:27:19.940 members,
00:27:21.280 its
00:27:21.460 dual
00:27:21.740 experience
00:27:22.500 was the
00:27:23.220 equivalent
00:27:23.680 of Christ's
00:27:24.520 forty days
00:27:25.240 and nights
00:27:25.800 in the
00:27:26.120 desert.
00:27:27.540 Returning
00:27:27.980 to England,
00:27:29.200 the group
00:27:29.480 sought out
00:27:29.980 the famous,
00:27:31.200 driving to
00:27:31.860 convert the
00:27:32.560 Beatles and
00:27:33.260 the Rolling
00:27:33.680 Stones,
00:27:34.500 among others.
00:27:35.960 A bookstore
00:27:36.460 was opened,
00:27:37.820 a coffeehouse
00:27:38.660 perked,
00:27:39.580 and the
00:27:39.800 process magazine
00:27:40.880 rolled off
00:27:41.580 the presses.
00:27:43.460 The cult
00:27:43.800 was enamored
00:27:44.540 of bloodshed
00:27:45.400 and war,
00:27:46.700 and its
00:27:47.120 magazine
00:27:47.600 reflected the
00:27:48.380 obsession.
00:27:49.880 Hitler was
00:27:50.460 considered a
00:27:51.180 noble gentleman
00:27:52.060 worthy of
00:27:53.240 admiration and
00:27:54.260 worship.
00:27:55.560 In this,
00:27:56.600 the era of
00:27:57.280 flower power,
00:27:58.920 the process
00:27:59.520 briefly managed
00:28:00.580 to entrap
00:28:01.280 singer Marianne
00:28:02.280 Faithfull,
00:28:03.320 a close
00:28:03.720 companion of
00:28:04.520 the Rolling
00:28:04.900 Stones.
00:28:06.600 In one issue
00:28:07.440 of Process
00:28:08.160 magazine,
00:28:09.360 she was
00:28:09.800 pictured supine
00:28:11.000 as if deed
00:28:11.860 clutching a
00:28:12.640 rose.
00:28:13.000 In late
00:28:14.480 1967,
00:28:16.460 Robert
00:28:16.740 de Grimston
00:28:17.420 published a
00:28:18.180 book,
00:28:18.860 As It Is,
00:28:20.180 which spelled
00:28:20.820 out the
00:28:21.300 process's
00:28:21.940 philosophy.
00:28:23.820 Christ said,
00:28:25.340 Love thine
00:28:25.940 enemy.
00:28:27.140 Christ's
00:28:27.680 enemy was
00:28:28.260 Satan.
00:28:29.320 Satan's
00:28:29.940 enemy was
00:28:30.500 Christ.
00:28:31.920 Through
00:28:32.120 love,
00:28:33.220 saint and
00:28:33.840 sinner destroy
00:28:34.680 the enmity
00:28:35.280 between them.
00:28:36.900 Through
00:28:37.180 love,
00:28:38.200 Christ and
00:28:38.840 Satan have
00:28:39.440 destroyed their
00:28:40.140 enmity and
00:28:41.260 come together
00:28:42.020 for the
00:28:42.420 end.
00:28:43.480 Christ to
00:28:44.060 judge,
00:28:45.120 Satan to
00:28:45.700 execute the
00:28:46.440 judgment.
00:28:48.180 The key to
00:28:48.880 this treatise
00:28:49.680 is contained
00:28:50.820 in the
00:28:51.200 sentence which
00:28:51.900 says that
00:28:53.100 Christ and
00:28:53.760 Satan have
00:28:54.520 joined forces
00:28:55.380 to bring about
00:28:56.240 the end of
00:28:56.780 the world.
00:28:58.440 Christ,
00:28:59.240 according to
00:28:59.760 the process,
00:29:01.140 was employing
00:29:01.960 Satan as a
00:29:02.720 hitman.
00:29:04.380 So,
00:29:04.760 worshipping
00:29:05.160 Satan was
00:29:05.980 akin to
00:29:06.580 worshipping
00:29:07.040 Christ,
00:29:08.380 and killing
00:29:08.840 in the name
00:29:09.380 of Satan
00:29:09.940 was actually
00:29:11.160 killing for
00:29:11.840 Christ,
00:29:13.000 a divine
00:29:13.660 mission.
00:29:15.280 Naturally,
00:29:16.040 de Grimstone
00:29:16.520 was thought
00:29:17.040 by process
00:29:17.780 members to
00:29:18.480 be Christ,
00:29:19.640 and they,
00:29:20.240 in adoring
00:29:20.720 Satan,
00:29:21.840 were the
00:29:22.200 agents of
00:29:22.780 God working
00:29:23.620 under divine
00:29:24.440 orders to
00:29:25.200 save the
00:29:25.700 world from
00:29:26.220 itself by
00:29:27.080 hastening the
00:29:27.780 day of the
00:29:28.320 second coming.
00:29:30.100 In the
00:29:30.460 end,
00:29:31.480 the cult
00:29:31.880 would survive
00:29:32.660 to build a
00:29:33.360 new world
00:29:33.900 of satanic
00:29:34.580 glory.
00:29:36.060 From the
00:29:36.680 Bible,
00:29:37.700 the signs of
00:29:38.300 the second
00:29:38.720 coming were
00:29:39.380 evident.
00:29:39.840 fires of
00:29:41.420 Armageddon,
00:29:42.440 death,
00:29:42.980 chaos,
00:29:43.520 and confusion.
00:29:45.300 The process
00:29:45.960 firmly believed
00:29:47.020 its divine
00:29:48.100 duty was to
00:29:48.940 hasten the
00:29:49.500 arrival of
00:29:50.200 the final
00:29:50.640 days,
00:29:52.060 and bastardizing
00:29:53.000 the Bible
00:29:53.580 told them
00:29:54.660 how to do
00:29:55.200 it.
00:29:56.360 This was a
00:29:57.420 blueprint for
00:29:58.240 murder,
00:29:59.100 butchery,
00:30:00.040 and other
00:30:00.420 crime cloaked
00:30:01.420 in religious
00:30:02.020 justification.
00:30:03.900 Would the
00:30:04.660 disenfranchised,
00:30:05.840 rebellious,
00:30:06.480 or power
00:30:07.140 hungry swallow
00:30:08.400 this perverse
00:30:09.320 theology?
00:30:11.060 Most
00:30:11.700 assuredly,
00:30:12.860 the
00:30:12.980 DeGrimstons
00:30:13.560 believed,
00:30:14.700 and they
00:30:15.040 prepared a
00:30:15.860 go-ye-and-teach-all-nations
00:30:17.720 crusade which
00:30:19.140 swept into the
00:30:19.960 United States
00:30:20.840 in late
00:30:21.320 1967.
00:30:23.480 My
00:30:24.180 prophecy,
00:30:25.660 upon this
00:30:26.260 wasted
00:30:26.760 earth,
00:30:27.700 and upon the
00:30:28.340 corrupt
00:30:28.680 creation that
00:30:29.700 squats upon
00:30:30.440 its ruined
00:30:31.100 surface,
00:30:32.680 is thou
00:30:33.160 shalt
00:30:33.640 kill.
00:30:34.200 It is not
00:30:35.860 known if
00:30:36.420 process members
00:30:37.440 seeping into
00:30:38.200 San Francisco
00:30:38.960 in the autumn
00:30:39.680 of the summer
00:30:40.320 of love
00:30:40.940 distributed
00:30:42.120 pamphlets
00:30:42.900 containing that
00:30:43.780 quote from
00:30:44.420 Robert DeGrimston's
00:30:45.540 book,
00:30:46.280 Jehovah on
00:30:46.980 War,
00:30:47.820 but arrived
00:30:48.960 they did,
00:30:50.220 bringing their
00:30:50.860 German shepherds,
00:30:52.280 magazines,
00:30:53.180 recruitment
00:30:53.640 wraps,
00:30:54.320 and twisted
00:30:54.780 theology with
00:30:55.780 them.
00:30:57.060 In the
00:30:57.860 United States,
00:30:59.200 that was the
00:30:59.760 era of
00:31:00.300 burgeoning
00:31:00.840 student
00:31:01.280 unrest.
00:31:02.780 The
00:31:02.940 Vietnam War
00:31:03.720 was igniting
00:31:04.440 protests.
00:31:05.720 Rental
00:31:06.000 values were
00:31:06.840 under siege.
00:31:08.500 Psychedelic
00:31:09.140 music was
00:31:09.820 the rage.
00:31:11.060 The
00:31:11.140 movement's
00:31:12.060 flower children
00:31:12.900 were in
00:31:13.460 full bloom.
00:31:15.280 The
00:31:15.500 summer of
00:31:16.040 1967,
00:31:17.940 the
00:31:18.100 frostroads
00:31:18.740 of hate
00:31:19.300 in Ashbury
00:31:20.140 transformed
00:31:21.600 San Francisco
00:31:22.520 into
00:31:22.960 Mecca.
00:31:24.760 Timothy
00:31:25.160 Leary was
00:31:25.900 advising youth
00:31:26.880 to turn
00:31:27.960 on,
00:31:28.500 tune in,
00:31:29.280 drop out.
00:31:31.000 It was an
00:31:31.540 age of
00:31:32.120 do your own
00:31:32.840 thing,
00:31:33.860 free love
00:31:34.660 and
00:31:34.880 transcendental
00:31:35.640 meditation.
00:31:37.320 Even the
00:31:37.720 beetles were
00:31:38.340 grooving on
00:31:39.100 the Maharisha
00:31:39.920 and singing
00:31:41.000 all you need
00:31:41.820 is love.
00:31:43.680 This was
00:31:44.180 fertile ground
00:31:45.020 for the
00:31:45.440 process to
00:31:46.240 plow.
00:31:47.500 The
00:31:47.720 cult was
00:31:48.260 at this
00:31:48.740 time
00:31:49.140 arranged
00:31:49.800 into
00:31:50.100 three
00:31:50.400 subgroups
00:31:51.320 which
00:31:51.900 represented
00:31:52.480 its
00:31:52.820 three
00:31:53.120 gods.
00:31:54.540 The
00:31:54.700 Jehovah's
00:31:55.380 were
00:31:56.000 straight-laced
00:31:56.740 and uncompromising
00:31:57.980 the Puritans
00:31:59.100 of the
00:31:59.440 sect.
00:31:59.760 Luciferians,
00:32:01.840 in contrast,
00:32:03.360 literally
00:32:03.740 embraced each
00:32:04.680 other,
00:32:05.560 advocating
00:32:06.100 sensuality,
00:32:07.400 tranquility,
00:32:08.220 and the
00:32:08.460 free use
00:32:09.000 of narcotics.
00:32:10.900 Finally,
00:32:12.020 Satanists
00:32:12.760 believed
00:32:13.260 what
00:32:13.540 Satanists
00:32:14.140 everywhere
00:32:14.700 believed
00:32:15.200 in,
00:32:16.220 gore,
00:32:17.260 violence,
00:32:18.260 sacrifice,
00:32:19.500 and devil
00:32:19.900 worship.
00:32:21.560 New
00:32:21.840 process
00:32:22.380 members
00:32:22.860 were free
00:32:23.400 to select
00:32:23.920 the disciple
00:32:24.540 of their
00:32:24.940 choice.
00:32:25.400 This
00:32:26.620 option
00:32:27.140 mattered
00:32:27.560 little
00:32:27.900 to the
00:32:28.240 DeGrimstons
00:32:28.940 since,
00:32:29.960 according to
00:32:30.420 their
00:32:30.600 preachings,
00:32:31.700 all three
00:32:32.280 branches
00:32:32.760 would converge
00:32:33.720 for the
00:32:34.140 final judgment,
00:32:35.580 which would
00:32:36.000 mark the
00:32:36.500 end of the
00:32:37.020 world as
00:32:37.620 non-members,
00:32:38.880 the brave
00:32:39.240 forces of
00:32:39.980 moderation,
00:32:41.200 knew it
00:32:41.540 to be.
00:32:43.180 For
00:32:43.400 processons,
00:32:44.560 no matter
00:32:44.980 which god
00:32:45.620 they bowed
00:32:46.160 to,
00:32:46.940 it was a
00:32:47.520 joyous
00:32:47.980 time.
00:32:49.120 The end
00:32:49.540 was coming,
00:32:50.820 and they,
00:32:51.460 as the
00:32:51.740 chosen people,
00:32:53.120 were going
00:32:53.500 to be part
00:32:54.100 of the
00:32:54.380 big event,
00:32:55.400 landing in
00:32:56.720 California.
00:32:58.100 The process
00:32:58.560 was just
00:32:59.220 another group
00:32:59.980 of proselytizers
00:33:01.260 hawking their
00:33:02.300 wares in an
00:33:03.160 already teeming
00:33:04.220 marketplace.
00:33:05.880 They attracted
00:33:06.860 little official
00:33:07.700 attention,
00:33:08.800 since law
00:33:09.380 enforcement
00:33:09.880 authorities
00:33:10.620 lumped them
00:33:11.560 into the
00:33:12.080 same category
00:33:12.900 as other
00:33:13.500 messianic
00:33:14.200 minions
00:33:14.720 littering the
00:33:15.800 streets with
00:33:16.400 their literature.
00:33:18.160 There was a
00:33:18.800 difference here.
00:33:20.320 The process
00:33:20.860 was dangling
00:33:21.820 a carrot
00:33:22.440 seasoned
00:33:23.100 for a variety
00:33:24.120 of taste
00:33:24.760 buds.
00:33:25.400 and thus
00:33:26.340 was able
00:33:27.280 to entice
00:33:28.040 a sizable
00:33:28.700 number of
00:33:29.340 recruits.
00:33:31.100 Death
00:33:31.500 and violence
00:33:32.180 advocates
00:33:32.820 were attracted
00:33:33.540 by the
00:33:34.040 Satanist
00:33:34.480 wing
00:33:34.820 and the
00:33:35.440 promise
00:33:35.820 of
00:33:36.020 upcoming
00:33:36.520 end-of-the-world
00:33:37.360 rampage
00:33:38.120 and destruction.
00:33:39.860 Free love
00:33:40.500 and dope
00:33:40.960 aficionados
00:33:41.860 were seduced
00:33:42.700 by the
00:33:43.120 Luciferians
00:33:43.900 and self-flagellating
00:33:45.500 hair shirts
00:33:46.180 were drawn
00:33:47.200 to the
00:33:47.600 strict
00:33:47.940 forbidding
00:33:48.540 Jehovah's.
00:33:49.320 and it
00:33:50.800 should be
00:33:51.120 noted
00:33:51.400 here
00:33:51.860 the
00:33:52.540 Christ-Satan
00:33:53.260 duality
00:33:53.980 was very
00:33:55.160 appealing
00:33:55.660 to an
00:33:56.260 aging
00:33:56.620 flower
00:33:57.080 child
00:33:57.620 by the
00:33:58.520 name
00:33:58.800 of
00:33:58.980 Charles
00:33:59.520 Manson.
00:34:01.100 Manson
00:34:01.860 happened to
00:34:02.400 have considerable
00:34:03.220 connections
00:34:03.800 to the
00:34:04.240 process
00:34:04.680 church.
00:34:05.140 Hi, I'm
00:34:06.000 Darren Marlar,
00:34:06.800 host of the
00:34:07.240 Weird Darkness
00:34:07.820 podcast.
00:34:08.540 I want to
00:34:08.860 talk about
00:34:09.240 the most
00:34:09.660 important tool
00:34:10.440 in my
00:34:10.820 podcast belt.
00:34:11.860 Spreaker is
00:34:12.480 the all-in-one
00:34:13.180 platform that
00:34:13.880 makes it easy
00:34:14.480 to record,

00:34:17.320 from Apple
00:34:17.680 Podcasts
00:34:18.460 to Spotify.
00:34:19.180 But the real
00:34:19.660 game-changer
00:34:20.280 for me
00:34:20.800 was Spreaker's
00:34:21.640 monetization.
00:34:22.680 Spreaker offers
00:34:23.340 dynamic ad
00:34:24.240 insertion.
00:34:24.960 That means you
00:34:25.320 can automatically
00:34:25.900 insert ads
00:34:26.720 into your
00:34:27.240 episodes.
00:34:27.860 No editing
00:34:28.500 required.
00:34:29.320 And with
00:34:29.500 Spreaker's
00:34:29.980 programmatic ads,
00:34:31.140 they'll bring
00:34:31.500 the ads to you,
00:34:32.440 and you get paid
00:34:33.320 for every
00:34:33.720 download.
00:34:34.120 This turned my
00:34:35.000 podcasting hobby
00:34:35.900 into a full-time
00:34:36.800 career.
00:34:37.420 Spreaker also

00:35:05.440 and was heavily
00:35:06.460 influenced by the
00:35:07.460 group.
00:35:08.500 From around April
00:35:09.420 through July 1967,
00:35:12.140 Charlie Manson
00:35:13.000 and his still
00:35:13.680 fledgling family
00:35:14.840 even lived at
00:35:16.380 636 Cole Street,
00:35:18.680 only two blocks
00:35:19.720 from the Process
00:35:20.560 Church San Francisco
00:35:21.780 headquarters at
00:35:22.760 407 Cole Street
00:35:24.460 and the infamous
00:35:25.800 8 Ashbury
00:35:26.600 District.
00:35:28.920 Author Maury
00:35:29.560 Terry continues
00:35:30.480 to explain that
00:35:31.500 in San Francisco,
00:35:33.360 the Process
00:35:33.820 set up house
00:35:34.660 on Cole Street
00:35:35.580 and later
00:35:36.460 moved to a
00:35:37.200 more amenable
00:35:37.840 residence on
00:35:38.660 Oak Street.
00:35:40.100 In March 1968,
00:35:42.140 after spreading
00:35:42.800 the news
00:35:43.440 in the north,
00:35:44.760 a contingent
00:35:45.420 of 30 members,
00:35:47.040 accompanied by
00:35:47.760 more than a
00:35:48.360 dozen Alsatian
00:35:49.280 dogs,
00:35:50.480 drove down the
00:35:51.160 coast to
00:35:51.760 Weirdness West,
00:35:53.300 Los Angeles.
00:35:55.180 In L.A.,
00:35:56.000 they rented
00:35:56.800 a large house
00:35:57.740 on South
00:35:58.300 Cochran Street
00:35:59.160 from where they
00:36:00.140 descended on
00:36:00.840 Sunset Strip
00:36:01.680 like so many
00:36:02.540 vultures
00:36:03.140 in quest
00:36:03.720 of cadavers.
00:36:05.340 There,
00:36:06.280 they vacuumed
00:36:07.040 up new
00:36:07.480 disciples from
00:36:08.320 the swarms
00:36:08.880 of runaways,
00:36:10.000 castoffs,
00:36:10.860 bikers,
00:36:11.860 dopers,
00:36:12.520 and other
00:36:12.860 outsiders for
00:36:14.200 whom the
00:36:14.620 Strip was
00:36:15.020 home.
00:36:16.600 True to form,
00:36:18.060 the Process
00:36:18.600 approached the
00:36:19.300 elite as well
00:36:20.120 as the down
00:36:20.660 and outers.
00:36:21.900 Singer John
00:36:22.480 Phillips of
00:36:23.160 the Mamas
00:36:23.620 and the Papas,
00:36:25.000 Mama Cass
00:36:25.620 Elliott herself,
00:36:27.100 and Terry
00:36:27.480 Melcher,
00:36:28.440 son of Doris
00:36:29.260 Day and a TV
00:36:30.220 and record
00:36:30.800 producer,
00:36:31.860 were among
00:36:32.300 those in show
00:36:33.080 business sought
00:36:33.880 out by the
00:36:34.400 group,
00:36:35.160 apparently with
00:36:35.880 mixed success.
00:36:37.860 The Process,
00:36:38.880 not surprisingly,
00:36:39.860 was fond of
00:36:40.520 the color
00:36:40.900 black.
00:36:41.940 They wore
00:36:42.220 black capes,
00:36:43.580 some with the
00:36:44.160 Mendez goat of
00:36:45.000 Satan stitched
00:36:45.900 in red on the
00:36:46.720 back.
00:36:47.780 Underneath,
00:36:48.840 they donned
00:36:49.400 black robes or
00:36:50.640 suits and
00:36:51.300 turtlenecks and
00:36:52.600 adorned their
00:36:53.280 necks with
00:36:53.860 silver crosses.
00:36:55.760 Some wore a
00:36:56.660 Mendez goat
00:36:57.360 pin.
00:36:58.980 The official
00:36:59.600 Process symbol,
00:37:01.180 paying homage
00:37:01.960 to the idolized
00:37:02.900 Hitler,
00:37:03.840 was a form of
00:37:04.720 inverted swastika.
00:37:06.880 On the streets
00:37:07.640 of Los Angeles
00:37:08.500 in the spring
00:37:09.140 of 1968,
00:37:11.180 the Process
00:37:11.620 was distributing
00:37:12.680 the sex issue
00:37:13.820 of Process
00:37:14.540 magazine.
00:37:15.980 Its front cover
00:37:16.860 displayed a photo
00:37:17.840 of a satanic
00:37:18.700 ceremony,
00:37:19.920 showing a naked
00:37:20.700 girl lying on
00:37:21.740 an altar
00:37:22.240 surrounded by a
00:37:23.360 band of hooded
00:37:24.120 cultists.
00:37:25.700 An inverted
00:37:26.300 cross,
00:37:26.860 shadowed the
00:37:27.720 scene.
00:37:29.340 The back cover
00:37:30.180 contained a
00:37:31.340 rendering of a
00:37:32.140 winged skeleton
00:37:33.080 suspended over a
00:37:34.400 pile of naked
00:37:35.300 bodies.
00:37:36.720 The humans'
00:37:37.480 mouths gaping,
00:37:39.120 apparently were
00:37:39.820 either dead or
00:37:40.820 in hell,
00:37:41.640 or both.
00:37:42.960 The inner pages
00:37:44.080 of this charming
00:37:45.000 piece of literature
00:37:46.060 contained articles
00:37:47.680 relating to
00:37:48.460 black masses
00:37:49.280 and necrophilia,
00:37:51.100 the practice of
00:37:51.820 performing sexual
00:37:52.900 or other violations
00:37:54.040 on corpses.
00:37:54.900 A subsequent
00:37:56.820 issue of
00:37:57.500 Process
00:37:57.900 magazine was
00:37:59.460 devoted to
00:38:00.120 fear.
00:38:01.740 On the back
00:38:02.300 cover of this
00:38:03.100 publication,
00:38:04.560 a band of
00:38:05.180 marching Nazis
00:38:06.260 spewed from the
00:38:07.200 mouth of a
00:38:07.860 fiery pink skull.
00:38:10.140 The Nazis were
00:38:11.020 tramping on a
00:38:11.840 ground of people
00:38:12.700 being consumed
00:38:13.980 by fire.
00:38:15.900 Elsewhere in this
00:38:16.880 same illustration,
00:38:18.640 the face of
00:38:19.260 Hitler appeared in
00:38:20.360 a funhouse mirror,
00:38:22.160 and the human
00:38:22.720 being was shown
00:38:23.740 burning to
00:38:24.380 death.
00:38:25.680 At the top of
00:38:26.520 the page,
00:38:27.600 a legend promised,
00:38:29.380 Next issue,
00:38:31.040 Death.
00:38:32.840 The magazine's
00:38:34.140 center spread was
00:38:35.060 devoted to the
00:38:35.900 unholy alliance of
00:38:37.180 the Lamb of God
00:38:38.160 and the Goat of
00:38:39.320 Satan.
00:38:40.480 The caption read,
00:38:42.200 The Lamb and the
00:38:43.040 Goat must come
00:38:44.040 together.
00:38:45.300 Pure love descended
00:38:46.480 from the pinnacle
00:38:47.320 of heaven, united
00:38:48.980 with pure hatred
00:38:50.260 raised from the
00:38:51.180 depths of hell.
00:38:52.040 Other articles of
00:38:54.240 great interest in
00:38:55.120 the fear issue
00:38:56.020 included a page of
00:38:57.820 quotes about fear
00:38:59.020 from members of
00:38:59.920 the Hells Angels
00:39:00.760 biker group.
00:39:02.280 The process actively
00:39:03.960 recruited bikers
00:39:05.120 considering them the
00:39:06.180 front-line troops of
00:39:07.380 the great war to
00:39:08.340 come.
00:39:09.740 An essay entitled,
00:39:11.620 Satan is Fear,
00:39:13.540 and a picture of
00:39:14.400 24 process
00:39:15.680 Alsatian dogs
00:39:16.920 menacing the
00:39:17.680 camera.
00:39:19.320 Regarding the
00:39:20.000 obsession with fear,
00:39:21.200 it is not a
00:39:22.500 coincidence that
00:39:23.520 one of Charlie
00:39:24.260 Manson's favorite
00:39:25.420 lectures to his
00:39:26.620 followers revolved
00:39:28.440 around the expression
00:39:29.600 getting the fear.
00:39:32.020 As incredible as
00:39:33.460 Process Magazine
00:39:34.360 was, its rantings
00:39:36.520 could only be
00:39:37.320 considered routine,
00:39:38.760 coming as they did
00:39:39.680 from a group whose
00:39:40.560 leader, Robert de
00:39:41.620 Grimston, wrote in
00:39:43.400 Satan on war,
00:39:44.480 release the fiend that
00:39:46.900 lies dormant within
00:39:48.200 you, for he is
00:39:49.800 strong and ruthless,
00:39:51.580 and his power is
00:39:52.620 far beyond the
00:39:53.740 bounds of human
00:39:54.560 frailty.
00:39:56.100 It was a more
00:39:57.220 divine trumpet
00:39:58.140 ever blown.
00:40:00.100 What the process
00:40:01.280 had managed to do
00:40:02.540 was to envelop
00:40:03.900 isolated weirdness
00:40:05.380 freaks from various
00:40:06.720 social backgrounds
00:40:07.860 and mix them
00:40:08.860 together.
00:40:09.300 Hi, I'm Darren
00:40:10.660 Marler, host of the
00:40:11.660 Weird Darkness
00:40:12.260 podcast.
00:40:12.980 I want to talk
00:40:13.480 about the most
00:40:14.100 important tool in
00:40:15.100 my podcast belt.
00:40:16.280 Spreaker is the
00:40:17.060 all-in-one platform

00:40:23.060 Spotify.
00:40:23.620 But the real game
00:40:24.400 changer for me was
00:40:25.580 Spreaker's monetization.

00:40:28.320 ad insertion.
00:40:29.380 That means you can

00:41:04.580 it, check out
00:41:05.320 Spreaker.com.
00:41:06.560 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R
00:41:09.140 dot com.
00:41:10.460 It was a volatile
00:41:11.340 brew, and the
00:41:12.680 common cause resulted
00:41:14.140 in long-standing
00:41:15.240 alliances being
00:41:16.340 sealed.
00:41:17.460 I have spoken to
00:41:18.980 several professional
00:41:19.860 people, including
00:41:21.260 educators, who remain
00:41:22.820 sympathetic to the
00:41:23.840 group's theology.
00:41:25.400 So any impressions
00:41:26.420 that the cult managed
00:41:27.740 to attract only
00:41:28.760 society's misfits
00:41:30.100 would be erroneous.
00:41:31.600 In terms of inner
00:41:33.500 ranking, there were
00:41:35.060 six levels of
00:41:36.080 membership in the
00:41:36.920 group, which
00:41:37.840 borrowed from the
00:41:38.660 family structure for
00:41:39.760 its inspiration.
00:41:41.540 In fact, the
00:41:42.840 process referred to
00:41:43.920 itself as the
00:41:45.380 family, as Manson
00:41:47.440 did with his group.
00:41:49.480 It is yet another
00:41:50.440 interesting link
00:41:51.440 between Manson and
00:41:52.520 the process, and
00:41:53.940 there are many
00:41:54.420 more.
00:41:55.500 For instance, cult
00:41:56.980 names were
00:41:57.720 substituted for legal
00:41:59.020 names once initiates
00:42:00.540 reached a certain
00:42:01.420 level of process
00:42:02.520 indoctrination.
00:42:04.380 This was another
00:42:05.160 practice Manson
00:42:06.240 utilized for many
00:42:07.380 in his family.
00:42:09.320 The lowest level in
00:42:10.460 the process was that
00:42:12.200 of acolyte, followed
00:42:13.920 by initiate and
00:42:15.120 messenger, the rank
00:42:16.760 at which the recruit
00:42:17.680 acquired his or her
00:42:19.100 cult name, such as
00:42:20.800 brother Tom, sister
00:42:22.260 Rebecca, or father
00:42:23.760 Jonas.
00:42:25.020 From the rank of
00:42:26.140 messenger, the
00:42:27.560 aspiring cultist
00:42:28.820 graduated to profit
00:42:30.360 priest, and
00:42:31.740 ultimately, master.
00:42:34.360 At one point in the
00:42:35.460 journey, all members,
00:42:37.480 regardless of their
00:42:38.320 chosen god, were
00:42:39.940 required to enter a
00:42:41.300 long period of
00:42:42.240 satanic worship, which
00:42:44.160 reportedly included
00:42:45.540 blood rituals and
00:42:47.080 sacrifice.
00:42:48.800 Accepted
00:42:49.380 processans then
00:42:50.720 formally convened
00:42:51.940 twice each month to
00:42:53.560 summon their three
00:42:54.380 gods, who would
00:42:55.540 then speak through
00:42:56.440 the mouths of the
00:42:57.400 gathered cult members.
00:42:58.580 Most of the original
00:43:00.740 cultists were British
00:43:01.880 citizens who
00:43:02.720 apparently came to
00:43:03.680 America on 90-day
00:43:04.980 visitors' visas.
00:43:06.800 Some extensions of
00:43:07.880 time were granted, but
00:43:09.640 eventually, in the
00:43:11.000 summer of 1968, many of
00:43:13.520 the group suddenly
00:43:14.380 dropped from sight.
00:43:16.260 Some, it was said,
00:43:17.820 returned to England, but
00:43:19.600 others appeared to have
00:43:20.600 remained in the United
00:43:21.520 States clandestinely.
00:43:22.800 The DeGrimstons
00:43:24.740 themselves headed for
00:43:26.080 New York City, where
00:43:27.560 a process church was
00:43:28.840 established on Cornelia
00:43:30.240 Street in Greenwich
00:43:31.360 Village in late 1968.
00:43:34.400 In addition to the
00:43:35.780 church, numerous
00:43:37.020 members lived in a
00:43:38.200 building on East
00:43:39.100 12th Street, while the
00:43:40.580 DeGrimstons stayed in
00:43:41.760 Brooklyn.
00:43:43.220 As in California, the
00:43:45.000 process recruited among
00:43:46.260 the artists, poets, and
00:43:47.820 hordes of counterculture
00:43:49.000 youth who frequented the
00:43:50.460 village.
00:43:50.800 Later, the cult spokesman
00:43:53.340 told United Press
00:43:54.440 International that more
00:43:56.120 than 200 Americans were
00:43:57.940 fully converted to the
00:43:59.260 faith.
00:44:00.760 Process contingents
00:44:02.080 subsequently materialized
00:44:04.120 in New Orleans, Dallas,
00:44:06.300 Toronto, Chicago, and
00:44:08.560 Cambridge, Massachusetts,
00:44:10.200 among other locations.
00:44:12.260 In a development that is
00:44:13.600 critical to this story,
00:44:15.680 once the group's
00:44:16.520 leadership turned over
00:44:17.680 the reins to local
00:44:18.740 disciples in Los
00:44:19.800 Angeles, power plays
00:44:21.940 and political infighting
00:44:23.340 inevitably resulted.
00:44:25.780 Differences in philosophy
00:44:27.200 and theology also arose.
00:44:30.160 Cult went underground
00:44:31.340 there in the aftermath of
00:44:32.840 the assassination of
00:44:34.040 Senator Robert Kennedy,
00:44:36.140 perhaps concerned that
00:44:37.520 law enforcement would hear
00:44:39.000 of Sirhan Sirhan's
00:44:40.320 occult interests and
00:44:42.140 alleged acquaintance with a
00:44:43.620 process member.
00:44:45.660 Author Ed Sanders
00:44:46.740 even wrote in his 1971 book
00:44:50.020 The Family,
00:44:51.340 it is possible that the
00:44:52.920 process had a baleful
00:44:54.420 influence on Sirhan Sirhan,
00:44:57.040 since Sirhan is known in the
00:44:58.900 spring of 68 to have
00:45:01.020 frequented clubs in Hollywood
00:45:02.780 in the same turf as the
00:45:04.260 process was proselytizing.
00:45:07.080 Sirhan was very involved in
00:45:09.400 occult pursuits.
00:45:10.380 He has talked several times
00:45:12.680 subsequent to Robert
00:45:13.740 Kennedy's death about an
00:45:15.680 occult group from London
00:45:17.520 which he knew about and
00:45:19.700 which he really wanted to go
00:45:21.160 to London to see.
00:45:22.800 There was one process member
00:45:24.760 named Lloyd who was
00:45:26.940 coincidentally working as a
00:45:29.040 chef for a large Los Angeles
00:45:30.860 hotel named the ambassador
00:45:33.480 where the assassination would
00:45:35.360 take place.
00:45:36.240 It is probably a coincidence
00:45:38.620 that Sirhan seems to have
00:45:40.780 visited a friend who worked
00:45:42.240 in the kitchen of the
00:45:43.160 ambassador hotel the day
00:45:45.400 before he fired shots at
00:45:47.180 Senator Kennedy.
00:45:48.940 According to Terry, as the
00:45:51.060 cult went further underground,
00:45:53.260 secret process chapters or
00:45:55.100 spinoffs using other names
00:45:56.960 were established in northern
00:45:58.840 and southern California.
00:46:00.980 Not so coincidentally, since
00:46:03.060 certain members' movements were
00:46:04.600 traced, authorities soon began
00:46:06.900 finding the bodies of
00:46:08.180 mutilated, decapitated, or
00:46:10.620 ex-sanguinated dogs, including
00:46:13.040 numerous German shepherds in the
00:46:15.000 Santa Cruz area south of San
00:46:16.820 Francisco.
00:46:18.180 Some of the animals were skinned,
00:46:21.040 prompting a Humane Society
00:46:22.560 official to comment on the
00:46:24.120 killer's abilities with knives.
00:46:26.740 Ports of human sacrifice were also
00:46:28.800 relayed to the police, including
00:46:30.820 one from a gentleman named Stanley
00:46:32.840 Baker, who was himself arrested
00:46:35.140 for an out-of-state murder.
00:46:37.640 Baker, who said he was a member
00:46:39.520 of the Santa Cruz cult,
00:46:41.560 harried a finger bone from his
00:46:43.160 recent unfortunate victim in a
00:46:45.280 leather pouch.
00:46:47.020 Upon his arrest, he delivered one
00:46:49.640 of criminal history's epic comments
00:46:51.800 to authorities.
00:46:53.280 I have a problem.
00:46:55.340 I am a cannibal.
00:46:57.420 Baker, who sported a swastika
00:46:59.760 tattoo and other occult emblems,
00:47:02.460 said he was recruited from a
00:47:04.180 campus setting in Wyoming.
00:47:06.920 He participated in blood-drinking
00:47:08.900 rituals there, was further
00:47:10.940 programmed, and then joined the
00:47:12.960 California activities.
00:47:15.500 Concerning this particular victim,
00:47:18.000 Baker told the police he murdered
00:47:19.680 the man, cut out his heart, and ate it.
00:47:23.980 Baker, and at least one other
00:47:26.040 witness, told authorities the Santa
00:47:28.580 Cruz group, later headed back
00:47:30.700 downstate, where they resumed their
00:47:33.040 obnoxious rituals, including murder,
00:47:36.000 in the O'Neill Park area of the
00:47:37.960 Santa Ana Mountains, south of Los
00:47:39.920 Angeles.
00:47:41.280 This cult, a process splinter group,
00:47:44.880 was said by the witnesses to call
00:47:46.820 itself the 4P movement, or 4Pi.
00:47:50.400 Its leader, alleged to be a prosperous
00:47:53.980 L.A. businessman or doctor, was
00:47:57.220 known as the Grand Chingon.
00:48:00.320 Interestingly, Ed Sanders stated that
00:48:02.820 on several occasions, in his presence,
00:48:05.840 Manson family members referred to
00:48:07.840 Charlie as the Grand Chingon.
00:48:11.040 However, Manson was under arrest at
00:48:13.500 this time while the cult was still
00:48:15.080 functioning.
00:48:16.720 How did Manson's followers know the
00:48:18.780 cult name of the leader of this top
00:48:20.760 secret slaughter society?
00:48:23.680 Shortly after the 4P cult relocated
00:48:26.220 to Los Angeles in early 1969,
00:48:29.420 another split apparently occurred.
00:48:32.200 Some 4P members decided there was too
00:48:34.640 much emphasis on sacrifice and devil
00:48:37.000 worship, and not enough sex.
00:48:39.780 This faction apparently went off on its
00:48:42.380 own, leaving the Grand Chingon and his
00:48:45.000 remaining followers to carry on their
00:48:47.360 business of draining and drinking the
00:48:49.300 blood of sacrificed dogs and humans.
00:48:52.700 There is a curious similarity here to
00:48:54.860 differences which arose in the parent
00:48:56.860 process between the sensual Luciferians
00:48:59.620 and the hardcore Satanists.
00:49:02.220 According to the witnesses, including
00:49:04.420 Baker, the Chingon cult practiced its
00:49:07.420 rituals on the basis of a stellar
00:49:09.500 timetable and employed its own cultic
00:49:12.460 terminology.
00:49:13.160 The group also was alleged to possess a
00:49:16.820 portable crematorium to dispose of
00:49:19.080 victims' remains, an ornate wooden
00:49:21.600 altar, and a specially designed sacrificial
00:49:24.820 knife with six blades.
00:49:27.480 A biker, who belonged to the cult, did
00:49:30.440 provide the police with one name, Erickson,
00:49:33.720 but authorities were unable to find him.
00:49:37.660 And as many in cults go by names other than
00:49:40.160 their own, or by first names only, rounding up
00:49:43.880 perpetrators is at best an extremely difficult
00:49:46.780 task.
00:49:48.360 Moreover, such underground groups are mobile,
00:49:52.480 often meeting at a variety of remote locations in the
00:49:55.580 dead of night, and informants are scarce, due to the fear
00:49:59.420 factor and blood oaths of loyalty often taken by members.
00:50:02.980 Plus, of course, almost any informant was likely to have
00:50:07.880 been an active accomplice in murder himself, and as such,
00:50:12.180 would have little incentive to provide information to the
00:50:15.120 police.
00:50:16.780 Baker, incidentally, did not renounce his satanic proclivities
00:50:20.800 when sentenced to prison for the brutal heart-meal murder he
00:50:24.360 acknowledged committing.
00:50:26.300 Authorities report that he actively and regularly conspired to
00:50:30.700 organize a devil-worshipping cult among his fellow inmates.
00:50:35.840 Apparently an otherwise model prisoner, he was eligible for
00:50:39.760 release in mid-1985, but his parole board, for whatever reason,
00:50:45.160 was finding it difficult to locate a halfway house willing to
00:50:48.720 accept him.
00:50:50.360 Lower-ranking Satanists such as Baker often literally believe in the
00:50:54.620 havoc they wreak.
00:50:56.080 But cult leaders are likely to be motivated as much by power and
00:51:00.120 greed as they are by infernal incantations.
00:51:03.520 It is possible to visualize the structure of the process left in
00:51:07.460 place, a network of cult contacts between various cities, and it is
00:51:12.980 also possible to envision how such a structure, staffed by willing
00:51:17.480 satanic slaves.

00:52:15.900 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.
00:52:19.240 To be employed for purposes that could greatly benefit a handful of leaders,
00:52:24.240 both monetarily, in terms of drug distribution and child pornography, for instance,
00:52:29.640 and personally, in terms of power, influence, and immense ego gratification.
00:52:34.920 To those leaders, allegiance to Satan is a secondary, convenient avocation.
00:52:42.620 The process and its secret offshoots didn't have the Southern California or U.S. occult
00:52:48.580 scene or philosophies to themselves.
00:52:51.740 Aleister Crowley, British intelligence agent, master black magician, and self-proclaimed
00:52:58.320 prophet, passed with guiding humanity into the Aeon of Horus, who died in 1947, had written
00:53:06.680 of a unification of God and Satan.
00:53:09.880 That precept, and other Crowleyisms, found their way into process doctrine.
00:53:16.220 By sharing Crowley's beliefs, the process also blended those of the Order of the Golden Dawn.
00:53:22.200 The Golden Dawn was an English occult society to which Crowley belonged in the late 19th century.
00:53:30.500 The Golden Dawn believed in Kabbalistic magic and taught that the will could be trained to
00:53:35.880 accomplish paranormal effects, including astral projection.
00:53:40.180 The Golden Dawn also strongly believed in symbolism, teaching that certain symbols or thoughts
00:53:46.560 had the same meaning for all human beings.
00:53:49.640 After internal dissension, elements of the Golden Dawn more or less merged into the Ordo
00:53:56.300 Templis Orientis, O.T.O., a German occult society founded in 1902.
00:54:03.280 The O.T.O. accused Crowley of revealing one of its most secret precepts, that sex could
00:54:09.600 be employed for the purposes of magic.
00:54:12.540 But after mending some fences, Crowley won permission to head a British O.T.O. branch, and
00:54:19.240 the teachings of the O.T.O. entered the United States with Crowley in 1916 during World War
00:54:24.900 I in Europe.
00:54:26.580 Later, during World War II, Crowley helped establish an O.T.O. lodge in Pasadena, California,
00:54:33.420 with O.T.O. branches subsequently sprouted in a number of U.S. cities, including New York
00:54:38.960 and Houston.
00:54:39.560 In effect, a loose network was formed and already functioning via occult shops and bookstores,
00:54:47.620 newsletters, ads in the underground press, and other methods, including personal contacts,
00:54:53.100 by the time the process arrived in 1967.
00:54:56.900 In fact, many believe that the entire occult underground in America today can be traced
00:55:02.680 back to the formation of that Crowley O.T.O. operation in Pasadena.
00:55:08.240 The process, then, incorporated the ideas of a number of its ancestors and current occupants
00:55:14.600 of the occult landscape, including the O.T.O.
00:55:18.540 Accordingly, there was intermingling of philosophy, membership, and networking among the groups.
00:55:25.580 This arrangement makes labeling a difficult, restrictive measure.
00:55:29.680 Charles Manson, for example, was exposed to the practices of a renegade O.T.O. lodge in
00:55:36.620 Southern California, as well as having been deeply influenced by the process.
00:55:41.680 Author Phil Jahan wrote in his book that Manson was associated with Robert de Grimston of the
00:55:48.560 Process Church.
00:55:50.360 In fact, they used the same alias, Robert Moore.
00:55:54.600 During the Tate-LeBianca trial, the prosecutor even asked Manson if he knew Moore.
00:56:01.860 Charlie responded,
00:56:03.420 You're looking at him.
00:56:05.240 Moore and I are one and the same.
00:56:08.040 Leading up to the Tate-LeBianca murders, Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski had been in Rome
00:56:14.300 with Hollywood manager and owner of the infamous Cielo Drive house, Rudy Altebelli,
00:56:19.540 and according to official records from the IRS, they were also in Rome at the very same time
00:56:26.160 as one Robert de Grimston.
00:56:29.240 Five days after the murder of Sharon Tate, the Rome chapter of the Process Church would
00:56:35.800 call a Council of Masters meeting, swiftly deciding to close down the Rome chapter, allegedly
00:56:42.180 returning to England where they would subsequently publish the fear and death issues of the Process
00:56:47.720 Magazine, opening up a chapter in Paris.
00:56:52.100 De Grimston was also associated with Ron Stark, a CIA agent who supplied LSD to almost all of
00:57:00.100 the youth in America during the late 1960s.
00:57:04.000 Another strange, unexplained occurrence that happened during the Manson trial is the fact
00:57:09.700 that Steve Kay, who worked on Bugliosi's prosecution team, used to date Sandra Good, one of the main
00:57:17.680 Manson girls, years earlier when they went to school together in San Diego.
00:57:22.880 In 1970, during Manson's trial in connection with the killings of Sharon Tate and housemates
00:57:29.200 Lino and Rosemary LeBianca, two representatives of the Process made an impromptu visit to Prosecutor
00:57:36.620 Bugliosi, a Father John, and a Brother Matthew.
00:57:41.580 Having heard that I was asking questions about the group, they had been sent from their Cambridge,
00:57:47.120 Massachusetts headquarters to assure me that Manson and Moore had never met and that Moore
00:57:53.620 was opposed to violence.
00:57:55.840 They also left me a stack of Process literature.
00:57:58.660 The following day, the names Father John and Brother Matthew appeared on Manson's visitors'
00:58:06.840 list.
00:58:08.120 What they discussed is unknown.
00:58:10.860 All I know is that in my last conversation with Manson, Charlie became evasive when I questioned
00:58:17.840 him about the process.
00:58:20.520 Manson's guests solicited from him, or perhaps transcribed, a short article on the nature of
00:58:27.580 death, which they ran in their 1971 issue, thematically titled, Death.
00:58:34.740 According to author Michael Newton, in his book Raising Hell, in 1967, hanging out around
00:58:42.040 a San Francisco landmark called the Devil House, Manson started rubbing shoulders with a morbid
00:58:48.460 cult from England, called the Process Church of the Final Judgment.
00:58:52.840 As one family member described the scene for author Ed Sanders, the Devil House people said
00:59:00.120 it was a religious order, and it went under many ancient names, one of them being the
00:59:06.220 Champions of Life, another one being the Final Church of Judgment.
00:59:11.980 The Final Church is the name Manson chose for the church he would eventually found.
00:59:16.460 Aside from its name, Manson also borrowed his concept of the fear from process spokesmen,
00:59:23.320 along with the cult's program for recruiting outlaw biker gangs to terrorize society on the
00:59:29.100 eve of Armageddon.
00:59:30.740 This association with the process seemed to follow Manson and the family south to Los Angeles
00:59:36.720 near the end of 1967.
00:59:38.340 Adam Gowrightly explains in his book, A Shadow Over Santa Susanna, that before heading to Los
00:59:45.680 Angeles for the Universal Recording Sessions, Charlie had met a woman in San Francisco named
00:59:51.320 Gina, who, according to Manson, in his own words, he remembered as a trippy broad, about
00:59:58.520 45 years old, who experimented with everything and was pumped up on devil worship.
01:00:04.240 Gina extended an invitation for Charlie to visit her in Los Angeles at an old two-story
01:00:10.720 gothic mansion she owned in Topanga Canyon, which Charlie's family later nicknamed the
01:00:16.560 Spiral Staircase due to their circular stairs at the entrance of the residence.
01:00:21.940 Later, during his Universal Studio sessions, Charlie needed a place to park the family bus
01:00:27.820 for a while, and so decided to take up Gina on her offer.
01:00:31.560 However, as Ed Sanders noted, the Spiral Staircase became a scrounge lounge for Manson and his
01:00:38.200 girls over the next few months.
01:00:40.940 The Spiral Staircase, also known as the Rattlesnake Pit, was a fabled meeting place of people beautiful
01:00:47.960 and weird, a party house and freak-out pad, home to light shows, acid orgies, and occult rituals.
01:00:55.840 According to researcher Salvador Estucha, the Spiral Staircase was once owned by Bela Lugosi,
01:01:03.620 and later the popular L.A. rock group Arthur Lee's Love lived there for a period.
01:01:08.900 In fact, many of the band's publicity stills show them standing on a spiral staircase reportedly
01:01:15.440 taken at their L.A. residence.
01:01:18.300 Charlie described the spiral staircase as a house of transition,
01:01:22.320 a place where those who walked the straight and narrow could come to by the dark of night
01:01:28.040 and indulge in what they preached against during daylight hours.
01:01:32.820 At the spiral staircase, you would find celebrities and prominent sports figures,
01:01:38.680 and one occasion, those who wore the cloth.
01:01:42.380 It was a melting pot of different occult groups and religious practices then being bandied about,
01:01:48.100 much in the same way that different drugs became fashionable for a period of time,
01:01:53.500 then were replaced by the next strange elixir to show up on the market,
01:01:58.000 promising immortal life, or at the very least, a fleeting flash illumination.
01:02:04.340 Each time Charlie returned to the spiral staircase, he'd see something new and different,
01:02:10.320 and not all of it was love and flowers.
01:02:12.500 Animal sacrifices and the drinking of blood apparently took place upon the hallowed spiral staircase grounds
01:02:20.240 in conjunction with satanic sex rituals,
01:02:23.740 some located out on the beach near the property,
01:02:26.880 apparently directed by the house's owner, Gina.

01:03:26.740 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.
01:03:29.880 It was at the spiral staircase that Charlie was exposed to various counterculture gurus,
01:03:35.820 and we no doubt took note of the heavy raps laid down and how they maneuvered and manipulated
01:03:41.240 their followers.
01:03:43.220 Charlie picked up on the way some of these acid fascists maintained control by instilling fear.
01:03:49.760 Later, these lessons would come back to him as a method to employ his own special form of madness,
01:03:55.740 the seeds of which were seemingly planted at the spiral staircase.
01:04:01.320 Maury Terry insisted that members of the process also frequented the spiral staircase,
01:04:07.060 claiming that
01:04:07.680 a jailed Manson killer told me Charlie's family met process leaders at the spiral staircase house
01:04:14.100 near Los Angeles in 1968.
01:04:17.400 Manson himself confirmed this statement in his autobiography.
01:04:21.420 In a clear reference to the English group,
01:04:23.820 he wrote that he met individuals who worshipped multiple devils at the very house in question.
01:04:30.700 Before we transition into our final chapter,
01:04:34.200 it's important to at least mention that even the name of this malignant organization
01:04:38.740 is rooted in clandestine operations.
01:04:42.400 This time, our connection comes in the form of Thomas Jude Baumler,
01:04:46.400 a lawyer, hypnotist, and bishop of the American Orthodox Catholic Church
01:04:51.220 who had worked out of Guy Bannister's office in New Orleans in the months leading up to the JFK assassination,
01:04:57.940 infiltrating left-wing college groups and reporting back to the office of the former G-Man.
01:05:04.160 This happened to be the same New Orleans office where Lee Harvey Oswald had also worked leading up to the JFK assassination.
01:05:11.640 Baumler had allegedly been recruited by another bishop and former Bannister employee named Jack Martin.
01:05:20.040 Author Peter Lavenda wrote about this in a series of articles he titled
01:05:24.020 The Bishop and the Boys,
01:05:26.820 Claiming that Jack Martin remained a bishop with the American Orthodox Catholic Church to the end of his days,
01:05:34.260 even going so far as to bring in another Bannister associate,
01:05:38.700 the corpulent attorney and unapologetic racist,
01:05:42.280 Thomas Jude Baumler,
01:05:43.540 to the Orthodox fold,
01:05:45.380 consecrating Baumler a bishop in August of 1974,
01:05:50.540 nearly 11 years after the Kennedy assassination
01:05:53.220 and 7 years after the beginning of the garrison investigation
01:05:57.340 and the death of both Archbishop Christopher Maria C.J. Stanley
01:06:02.380 and David Ferry,
01:06:04.140 who happened to be consecrated by Stanley into his church in 1961,
01:06:09.380 along with Jack Martin,
01:06:11.020 Guy Bannister,
01:06:12.180 and many others in Bannister's office.
01:06:14.180 Lovenda claims,
01:06:16.460 from personal correspondence with an individual involved with this affair,
01:06:20.920 I learned that Baumler
01:06:22.160 had already been ordained a priest by Stanley years before,
01:06:26.660 in other words,
01:06:28.000 prior to Stanley's death in March 1967.
01:06:32.120 Baumler's status in New Orleans society was assured.
01:06:35.940 He came from an old family
01:06:37.520 and was associated with one of the famous Mardi Gras brews.
01:06:41.220 His father was even a part of the original Office of Strategic Services, or OSS.
01:06:49.140 In addition,
01:06:50.760 according to Lovenda's informant,
01:06:53.480 Baumler was also a Mason
01:06:54.980 and belonged to the same lodge,
01:06:57.100 the Etoile Polaire Lodge of the French Grand Orient,
01:07:00.420 with Mafia Don Carlo Marcello,
01:07:02.440 one of the men for whom David Ferry was allegedly working for on the day of the assassination.
01:07:09.260 One final note on Tommy Baumler,
01:07:12.400 which perfectly dovetails with our current story,
01:07:15.400 providing yet another tangible connection to the Process Church,
01:07:19.260 is the fact that Tommy Baumler
01:07:21.080 is the attorney who helped incorporate the Process
01:07:24.700 and even helped select its full name,
01:07:28.740 Process Church of the Final Judgment.
01:07:31.780 Our final chapter begins with the extraordinary tale of David Berkowitz,
01:07:37.100 originally known to the public as the .44-caliber killer.
01:07:41.040 Now he is widely considered to be the infamous Son of Sam serial killer,
01:07:46.600 who pled guilty to perpetrating eight shootings in New York City
01:07:50.060 between July 1976 and July 1977,
01:07:54.760 resulting in six fatalities.
01:07:57.900 Wielding a .44-special-caliber bulldog revolver,
01:08:01.900 he is allegedly responsible for killing six people
01:08:04.680 and wounding seven others,
01:08:07.080 terrorizing New Yorkers for just over a year
01:08:09.800 as he eluded law enforcement's largest manhunt in New York City's history,
01:08:15.140 all the while leaving strange cryptic letters
01:08:17.860 in an effort to mock the police,
01:08:20.120 promising to commit additional crimes.
01:08:23.100 The letters quickly became a focal point
01:08:25.120 of the establishment news media's coverage
01:08:27.400 as the story naturally captured the attention of the public.
01:08:30.900 The satanic panic loomed large in the minds of Americans at this time,
01:08:37.100 no doubt playing a prominent role
01:08:39.120 in the public perception of this case.
01:08:41.920 As recent as 2021,
01:08:45.120 a fresh new perspective was offered to the public
01:08:47.840 as a documentary series premiered on Netflix,
01:08:51.560 profiling the brilliant work of Maury Terry,
01:08:54.480 who spent over 40 years attempting to prove
01:08:57.260 that the notorious David Berkowitz
01:08:59.260 did not act alone.
01:09:02.140 Run from me, darling.
01:09:05.220 A killer on the loose in New York
01:09:06.900 for a year and three days.
01:09:09.040 Run, my good friend.
01:09:10.960 He is David Berkowitz,
01:09:12.540 the man police believe to be the son of Sam.
01:09:15.200 You better run for your life.
01:09:19.340 They totally ignored the true story of this case.
01:09:22.940 Run.
01:09:24.640 Once they named Berkowitz,
01:09:26.020 it was like,
01:09:26.660 hallelujah, we got our bad guy,
01:09:28.420 everybody can walk the streets again.
01:09:30.500 The city of New York can rest easy.
01:09:33.580 Run.
01:09:34.940 There were real questions in this case.
01:09:37.140 Run.
01:09:38.100 Why do the police not investigate more?
01:09:40.740 Run.
01:09:41.200 The sketches don't add up.
01:09:42.460 Run.
01:09:42.980 You're not going to mistake Berkowitz
01:09:44.840 for being six feet tall and blonde.
01:09:47.700 Run.
01:09:48.380 You got suspects dying accidentally.
01:09:51.580 There were eight attacks.
01:09:52.940 Did you do all of them?
01:09:53.840 I did not pull the trigger
01:09:55.400 and every single one of them.
01:09:57.420 The worst serial killer in New York City
01:10:01.480 didn't do it on his own.
01:10:02.940 This is freaking huge.
01:10:06.160 Son of Sam is not over.
01:10:08.340 Son of Sam still exists.
01:10:12.580 Berkowitz is claiming members of a satanic cult
01:10:15.160 helped in the murders of six people.
01:10:17.040 I could feel a force pulling me into the darkness.
01:10:21.680 This group is all over the country.
01:10:23.980 They were devoted to bringing on the end of the world.
01:10:26.880 Is there a link between the Manson killings
01:10:28.880 and the Son of Sam killings?
01:10:31.180 Maury wanted the truth to come out,
01:10:33.460 but nobody would listen.
01:10:35.180 This case went off the rails a little bit.
01:10:37.360 People are scared that this is still happening.
01:10:42.580 With Berkowitz in prison.
01:10:47.220 Who's still out there?
01:10:49.920 You better run for your life.
01:10:53.580 A vigilant citizen published an article with the headline,
01:11:00.120 Son of Sam case,
01:11:01.820 a rare window into the inner workings of the occult elite,
01:11:05.800 corroborating much of the evidence
01:11:07.440 presented by author Maury Terry in his book,
01:11:10.600 The Ultimate Evil,
01:11:12.220 linking the processed church
01:11:13.700 to a multitude of additional crimes
01:11:16.300 committed under the tutelage of this occult group.
01:11:18.900 According to the article,
01:11:21.700 in 1997,
01:11:23.640 David Berkowitz,
01:11:25.040 the infamous serial killer dubbed
01:11:26.920 the Son of Sam,
01:11:28.800 agreed to be interviewed
01:11:29.880 by the very same investigative journalist Maury Terry.
01:11:33.900 At this point,
01:11:35.340 Berkowitz had been incarcerated for over 20 years
01:11:38.340 and converted to Christianity.
01:11:41.100 He even gave himself a new name,
01:11:43.800 Son of Hope.
01:11:45.700 Although he never denied the fact
01:11:47.700 that he killed innocent people
01:11:49.320 and that he deserved his multiple life sentences,
01:11:52.860 Berkowitz had always maintained one vital fact.
01:11:56.680 He did not act alone.
01:11:59.140 Not only that,
01:12:00.620 the Son of Sam murders
01:12:01.840 were not random acts of violence
01:12:03.920 carried out by a lone nut.
01:12:06.200 They were,
01:12:07.060 as crazy as it sounds,
01:12:09.180 ritual sacrifices
01:12:10.400 carried out by a highly organized satanic cult.
01:12:14.380 At the time of this interview,
01:12:16.180 Maury Terry had been investigating
01:12:18.820 the Son of Sam case
01:12:20.060 for over two decades.
01:12:22.780 Ten years prior,
01:12:24.320 he released the ultimate evil,
01:12:26.240 an investigation of America's
01:12:27.860 most dangerous satanic cult,
01:12:30.420 a book that presented evidence
01:12:32.100 that these killings
01:12:33.180 were linked to a massive occult network.
01:12:36.840 In this interview,
01:12:38.640 Terry was looking to confirm
01:12:40.100 important facts he uncovered
01:12:41.700 in his years of research.
01:12:44.220 For instance,
01:12:45.160 there was evidence
01:12:46.160 that the 1977 killing
01:12:48.140 of 20-year-old Stacey Moskowitz
01:12:50.360 was most likely filmed
01:12:52.280 by someone
01:12:53.020 who was hiding in a van.
01:12:55.220 If this was true,
01:12:56.860 the entire lone nut theory
01:12:58.520 would be disproved.
01:13:00.560 Furthermore,
01:13:01.760 it would signify
01:13:02.640 that these murders
01:13:03.580 were actually
01:13:04.440 team efforts
01:13:06.000 that even implicated
01:13:07.400 the production
01:13:08.060 of snuff material
01:13:09.340 to be sold
01:13:10.120 in underground circles.
01:13:12.460 When Terry asked
01:13:13.400 about this mysterious van,
01:13:15.800 Berkowitz answers,
01:13:17.340 there was some filming
01:13:18.880 going on.
01:13:20.280 Somebody wanted to film it
01:13:21.580 for somebody else
01:13:22.540 or, uh, uh, whatever.
01:13:25.660 Are you stating to me, then,
01:13:27.280 they made a snuff film
01:13:28.580 from that van
01:13:29.420 of the shooting
01:13:30.040 of Stacey Moskowitz
01:13:31.300 and Robert Volante?
01:13:33.380 Maybe that's what
01:13:34.400 you can call it.
01:13:35.120 Was this the cult group
01:13:37.400 itself that was
01:13:38.320 responsible for
01:13:39.220 the Son of Sam murders
01:13:40.280 or was there
01:13:41.220 something else
01:13:41.860 that went on?
01:13:43.700 Uh, there was
01:13:45.020 another group,
01:13:46.220 a more elite group,
01:13:47.840 hidden into it
01:13:48.720 and woven into it,
01:13:50.120 you know?
01:13:51.580 In his last answer,
01:13:53.800 Berkowitz stated
01:13:54.600 that the coven
01:13:55.320 he belonged to,
01:13:56.900 named the Children,
01:13:58.500 was infiltrated
01:13:59.420 by an elite group
01:14:00.740 that pushed them
01:14:01.740 further into
01:14:02.520 the dark side.
01:14:03.400 In his research,
01:14:06.060 Terry believed
01:14:06.800 that this elite group
01:14:08.240 might have been
01:14:09.460 the processed church,
01:14:11.200 a powerful
01:14:11.840 satanic group
01:14:12.880 that became
01:14:13.840 extremely influential
01:14:15.120 in the early 1970s
01:14:16.900 before going
01:14:17.640 underground.
01:14:19.620 Terry then asked
01:14:20.680 Berkowitz,
01:14:22.100 what other kinds
01:14:22.800 of crimes
01:14:23.400 did they commit?
01:14:25.200 Well,
01:14:26.160 heavy drug trafficking
01:14:27.280 and, uh,
01:14:28.420 other things
01:14:29.100 involving children.
01:14:31.340 Involving children?
01:14:32.680 What do you mean?
01:14:33.400 What kind of business
01:14:34.700 were they in?
01:14:35.900 You're telling me
01:14:36.560 the process
01:14:37.220 was producing
01:14:37.920 child pornography?
01:14:39.640 Is that what you're saying?
01:14:41.300 And providing children?
01:14:43.760 Berkowitz nodded.
01:14:45.800 Right after,
01:14:47.140 the producers
01:14:47.720 stopped the interview.
01:14:50.060 This is where
01:14:50.800 a thorough investigation
01:14:51.920 of the
01:14:52.620 Son of Sam case
01:14:53.580 leads.
01:14:54.780 The rotten core
01:14:55.860 of the occult elite
01:14:57.100 which is obsessed
01:14:58.560 with the worst
01:14:59.340 abominations
01:15:00.240 known to man.
01:15:01.080 By May 1977,
01:15:04.920 the first-hand
01:15:05.600 written letter
01:15:06.220 had been discovered
01:15:07.080 by police
01:15:07.820 near the bodies
01:15:08.540 of Alexander
01:15:09.340 Isso
01:15:09.900 and Valentina
01:15:10.860 Sirianni,
01:15:12.060 written mostly
01:15:12.760 in block capitals
01:15:13.840 with a few
01:15:14.460 lowercase letters
01:15:15.580 and addressed
01:15:16.720 to NYPD
01:15:17.560 Captain
01:15:18.080 Joseph Borelli.
01:15:20.000 The letter
01:15:20.720 expressed the
01:15:21.480 killer's
01:15:21.900 determination
01:15:22.460 to continue
01:15:23.420 his work
01:15:24.040 and taunted
01:15:24.940 police for their
01:15:25.800 fruitless efforts
01:15:26.640 to capture him.
01:15:27.520 in full
01:15:28.720 with misspellings
01:15:29.640 intact.
01:15:30.680 The letter
01:15:31.100 read,
01:15:32.240 I am deeply
01:15:32.920 hurt by your
01:15:33.900 calling me
01:15:34.540 a women-hater.
01:15:36.060 I am not,
01:15:37.400 but I am
01:15:37.940 a monster.
01:15:39.220 I am the
01:15:39.780 son of Sam.
01:15:41.080 I am a
01:15:41.640 little brat.
01:15:43.140 When Father
01:15:43.680 Sam gets drunk,
01:15:44.840 he gets mean.
01:15:46.320 He beats
01:15:46.820 his family.
01:15:48.300 Sometimes,
01:15:48.920 he ties me up
01:15:49.680 to the back
01:15:50.160 of the house.
01:15:51.500 Other times,
01:15:52.400 he locks me
01:15:53.360 in the garage.
01:15:54.980 Sam loves
01:15:55.640 to drink
01:15:56.140 blood.
01:15:57.480 Go out
01:15:58.020 and kill,
01:15:58.900 demands
01:15:59.220 Father Sam.
01:16:00.960 Behind our
01:16:01.520 house,
01:16:02.060 some rest.
01:16:03.560 Mostly
01:16:03.920 young,
01:16:05.080 raped and
01:16:05.660 slaughtered,
01:16:06.680 the blood
01:16:07.080 drained,
01:16:08.080 just bones
01:16:08.820 now.
01:16:10.340 Papa Sam
01:16:11.040 keeps me
01:16:11.600 locked in
01:16:12.060 the attic
01:16:12.460 too.
01:16:13.660 I can't
01:16:14.100 get out,
01:16:14.680 but I look
01:16:15.700 out the attic
01:16:16.280 window and
01:16:16.920 watch the
01:16:17.380 world go
01:16:17.880 by.
01:16:19.000 I feel
01:16:19.460 like an
01:16:19.840 outsider.
01:16:21.240 I am
01:16:21.560 on a
01:16:21.820 different
01:16:22.120 wavelength
01:16:22.780 than
01:16:23.080 everybody
01:16:23.460 else.
01:16:24.800 Programmed
01:16:25.480 to kill.
01:16:27.120 However,
01:16:28.320 to stop
01:16:28.760 me,
01:16:29.040 you must
01:16:29.380 kill me.
01:16:30.660 Attention,
01:16:31.260 all police.
01:16:32.780 Shoot me
01:16:33.260 first.
01:16:34.240 Shoot to
01:16:34.640 kill or
01:16:35.220 else.
01:16:36.320 Keep out
01:16:36.760 of my
01:16:37.040 way or
01:16:37.580 you will
01:16:37.920 die.
01:16:39.300 Papa Sam
01:16:39.940 is old
01:16:40.400 now.
01:16:41.320 He needs
01:16:41.680 some blood
01:16:42.120 to preserve
01:16:42.680 his youth.
01:16:44.240 He has
01:16:44.580 had too
01:16:44.980 many heart
01:16:45.460 attacks.
01:16:46.420 Too
01:16:46.560 many heart
01:16:47.140 attacks.
01:16:48.380 Ugh,
01:16:49.080 me hoot,
01:16:49.740 it hurts,
01:16:50.280 sonny boy.
01:16:51.660 I miss
01:16:52.120 my pretty
01:16:52.640 princess,
01:16:53.520 most of
01:16:54.000 all.
01:16:54.240 She's
01:16:55.120 resting
01:16:55.520 in our
01:16:55.920 lady's
01:16:56.340 house,
01:16:57.120 but I'll
01:16:57.460 see her
01:16:57.860 soon.
01:16:59.080 I am
01:16:59.480 the
01:16:59.660 monster,
01:17:00.860 the
01:17:00.980 Elzebub,
01:17:02.300 the
01:17:02.460 chubby
01:17:02.760 behemoth.
01:17:04.120 I love
01:17:04.660 to hunt,
01:17:05.980 prowling the
01:17:06.600 streets,
01:17:07.180 looking for
01:17:07.680 fair game,
01:17:08.760 tasty meat.
01:17:10.300 The
01:17:10.520 women of
01:17:11.020 queens are
01:17:12.240 the prettiest
01:17:12.940 of all.
01:17:14.340 I must
01:17:14.740 be the
01:17:15.100 water they
01:17:15.620 drink.
01:17:16.800 I live
01:17:17.320 for the
01:17:17.660 hunt,
01:17:18.440 my life,
01:17:19.740 blood for
01:17:20.280 Papa,
01:17:21.140 Mr.
01:17:21.420 Borelli,
01:17:22.160 sir.
01:17:22.940 I don't
01:17:23.580 want to
01:17:23.920 kill anymore,
01:17:24.720 no sir,
01:17:25.420 no more,
01:17:26.060 but I must
01:17:26.660 honor thy
01:17:27.220 father.
01:17:28.480 I want to
01:17:28.980 make love to
01:17:29.680 the world.
01:17:30.920 I love
01:17:31.380 people.
01:17:32.600 I don't
01:17:33.060 belong on
01:17:33.660 earth.
01:17:34.960 Return me to
01:17:35.780 yahoos,
01:17:36.960 to the people
01:17:37.580 of queens,
01:17:38.540 I love you,
01:17:39.860 and I want to
01:17:40.600 wish all of
01:17:41.320 you a happy
01:17:41.940 Easter.
01:17:43.240 May God
01:17:43.720 bless you in
01:17:44.460 this life and
01:17:45.360 in the next,
01:17:46.340 and for now,
01:17:47.380 I say goodbye
01:17:48.240 and good
01:17:48.940 night.
01:17:50.360 Police,
01:17:51.460 let me haunt
01:17:52.220 you with
01:17:52.600 these words.
01:17:54.040 I'll be
01:17:54.400 back,
01:17:55.260 I'll be
01:17:55.680 back,
01:17:56.800 to be
01:17:57.080 interpreted
01:17:57.580 as,
01:17:58.920 bang,
01:17:59.460 bang,
01:18:00.100 bang,
01:18:00.680 bang,
01:18:01.220 bang,
01:18:01.840 ugh,
01:18:02.740 yours in
01:18:03.260 murder,
01:18:04.260 Mr.
01:18:04.640 Monster.
01:18:06.140 On May
01:18:06.620 30th,
01:18:07.320 1977,
01:18:09.120 Daily News
01:18:09.740 columnist
01:18:10.440 Jimmy
01:18:10.880 Breslin
01:18:11.500 received a
01:18:12.460 handwritten
01:18:12.900 letter from
01:18:13.620 someone who
01:18:14.220 claimed to
01:18:14.720 be the
01:18:15.060 .44 caliber
01:18:15.940 killer.
01:18:17.280 The letter
01:18:17.660 was postmarked
01:18:18.660 early that
01:18:19.220 same day in
01:18:20.020 Inglewood,
01:18:20.760 New Jersey.
01:18:21.880 On the
01:18:22.520 reverse of
01:18:23.060 the envelope,
01:18:24.440 neatly handprinted
01:18:25.660 in four
01:18:26.080 precisely centered
01:18:27.180 lines were
01:18:28.400 the words
01:18:28.960 blood and
01:18:30.240 family,
01:18:31.520 darkness and
01:18:32.300 death,
01:18:33.460 absolute
01:18:33.900 depravity.
01:18:35.140 Hi, I'm
01:18:35.880 Darren Marler,
01:18:36.660 host of the
01:18:37.100 Weird Darkness
01:18:37.700 podcast.
01:18:38.420 I want to
01:18:38.740 talk about the
01:18:39.280 most important
01:18:39.940 tool in my
01:18:40.700 podcast belt.

01:18:49.080 But the real
01:18:49.520 game-changer for
01:18:50.380 me was
01:18:51.020 Spreaker's
01:18:51.520 monetization.

01:19:34.560 dot com.
01:19:35.880 44.
01:19:37.400 The letter inside
01:19:38.720 read,
01:19:40.120 Hello from the
01:19:41.000 gutters of NYC,
01:19:42.760 which are filled
01:19:43.440 with dog manure,
01:19:44.780 vomit, stale wine,
01:19:46.780 urine, and blood.
01:19:48.740 Hello from the
01:19:49.500 sewers of NYC,
01:19:51.300 which swallow up
01:19:52.240 these delicacies
01:19:53.240 when they are
01:19:53.920 washed away by the
01:19:55.060 sweeper trucks.
01:19:56.940 Hello from the
01:19:57.620 cracks in the
01:19:58.340 sidewalks of NYC,
01:19:59.880 and from the
01:20:00.920 ants that dwell
01:20:01.840 in these cracks
01:20:02.660 and feed in the
01:20:03.560 dried blood of the
01:20:04.540 dead that has
01:20:05.280 settled into the
01:20:06.160 cracks.
01:20:07.700 JB,
01:20:08.540 I'm just dropping
01:20:09.880 you a line to
01:20:10.820 let you know that
01:20:11.620 I appreciate your
01:20:12.640 interest in those
01:20:13.500 recent and horrendous
01:20:14.820 44 killings.
01:20:16.800 I also want to
01:20:17.760 tell you that I
01:20:19.140 read your column
01:20:19.980 daily and I find
01:20:21.600 it quite informative.
01:20:23.760 Tell me, Jim,
01:20:24.920 what will you have
01:20:26.000 for July 29th?
01:20:27.920 You can forget
01:20:28.940 about me if
01:20:29.860 you like because
01:20:30.980 I don't care for
01:20:31.820 publicity.
01:20:33.200 However, you
01:20:34.480 must not forget
01:20:35.440 Donna Loria, and
01:20:37.280 you cannot let the
01:20:38.060 people forget her
01:20:38.980 either.
01:20:40.180 She was a very,
01:20:41.240 very sweet girl,
01:20:43.160 but Sam's a thirsty
01:20:44.200 lad, and he won't
01:20:45.660 let me stop killing
01:20:46.860 until he gets his
01:20:48.180 fill of blood.
01:20:50.220 Mr. Breslin,
01:20:51.320 sir, don't think
01:20:52.720 that because you
01:20:53.500 haven't heard from
01:20:54.240 me for a while
01:20:55.120 that I went to
01:20:56.280 sleep.
01:20:57.440 No.
01:20:57.820 Rather, I am
01:20:59.660 still here, like a
01:21:01.420 spirit roaming the
01:21:02.580 night.
01:21:03.780 Thirsty, hungry,
01:21:05.720 seldom stopping to
01:21:06.880 rest, anxious to
01:21:08.680 please Sam.
01:21:10.060 I love my work.
01:21:12.020 Now, the void has
01:21:13.640 been filled.
01:21:15.020 Perhaps we shall
01:21:15.780 meet face to face
01:21:16.980 someday, or perhaps
01:21:18.300 I will be blown away
01:21:19.860 by cops with
01:21:20.820 smoking 38s.
01:21:22.040 Whatever, if I shall
01:21:24.660 be fortunate enough
01:21:25.720 to meet you, I
01:21:26.980 will tell you all
01:21:27.780 about Sam if you
01:21:28.820 like, and I will
01:21:29.960 introduce you to
01:21:30.820 him.
01:21:31.760 His name is Sam
01:21:32.800 the Terrible.
01:21:34.480 Not knowing what
01:21:35.320 the future holds, I
01:21:37.000 shall say farewell,
01:21:38.540 and I will see you
01:21:39.420 at the next job.
01:21:41.280 Or should I say,
01:21:42.580 you will see my
01:21:43.420 hoody work at the
01:21:44.240 next job.
01:21:45.740 Remember Miss
01:21:46.480 Loria.
01:21:47.880 Thank you.
01:21:48.480 In their blood and
01:21:50.080 from the gutter, Sam's
01:21:51.700 creation.
01:21:52.960 44.
01:21:54.160 Here are some names
01:21:55.020 to help you along.
01:21:56.860 Forward them to the

01:21:59.100 NCIC.

01:22:13.060 P.S.
01:22:14.380 Please inform all
01:22:15.540 the detectives
01:22:16.380 working the slaying
01:22:17.500 to remain.

01:22:21.200 Please inform all
01:22:22.320 the detectives
01:22:23.160 working the case
01:22:24.100 that I wish them
01:22:25.360 the best of luck.
01:22:27.260 Keep them digging.
01:22:28.440 Drive on.
01:22:29.500 Think positive.
01:22:30.780 Get off your butts.
01:22:32.000 Knock on coffins.
01:22:33.240 Etc.
01:22:34.720 Upon my capture,
01:22:36.300 I promise to buy
01:22:37.400 all the guys
01:22:38.240 working the case
01:22:39.180 a new pair of
01:22:40.040 shoes if I can
01:22:41.040 get up the money.
01:22:42.740 Son of Sam.
01:22:44.880 Underneath the
01:22:45.680 Son of Sam
01:22:46.380 was a logo
01:22:47.480 or sketch
01:22:48.320 that combined
01:22:49.100 several occult
01:22:49.980 symbols.
01:22:51.080 One of the
01:22:51.500 letter's symbols
01:22:52.220 oddly resembled
01:22:53.220 that of the O.T.O.
01:22:55.400 The writer's question,
01:22:57.260 what will you have
01:22:58.140 for July 29th,
01:23:00.080 was considered
01:23:00.820 an ominous threat.
01:23:02.640 July 29th
01:23:03.540 would be the
01:23:04.000 anniversary
01:23:04.460 of the Loria
01:23:05.340 Valenti shooting.
01:23:07.300 Breslin notified
01:23:08.260 police,
01:23:09.480 who thought that
01:23:09.960 the letter was
01:23:10.620 probably from
01:23:11.340 someone with
01:23:11.980 knowledge of the
01:23:12.740 shootings.
01:23:14.020 The Breslin
01:23:14.560 letter was
01:23:15.140 sophisticated in
01:23:16.140 its wording and
01:23:16.840 presentation,
01:23:18.120 especially when
01:23:18.880 compared to the
01:23:19.620 crudely written
01:23:20.320 first letter,
01:23:21.740 and police
01:23:22.140 suspected that it
01:23:23.080 might have been
01:23:23.600 created in an
01:23:24.500 art studio,
01:23:25.920 or similar
01:23:26.440 professional location,
01:23:28.420 by someone with
01:23:29.220 expertise in
01:23:30.200 printing,
01:23:31.200 calligraphy,
01:23:31.920 or graphic design.
01:23:34.420 The unusual
01:23:35.080 writing caused
01:23:36.040 the police to
01:23:36.860 speculate that
01:23:37.580 the killer was
01:23:38.260 a comic book
01:23:39.040 letterer,
01:23:40.040 and they asked
01:23:40.540 staff members of
01:23:41.540 DC Comics whether
01:23:42.740 they recognized
01:23:43.580 the lettering.
01:23:45.100 The Wicked
01:23:45.660 King Wicker
01:23:46.380 reference caused
01:23:47.540 police to arrange
01:23:48.660 a private screening
01:23:49.600 of The Wicker Man,
01:23:51.000 a 1973 horror film.
01:23:53.780 The Vigilant
01:23:54.380 Citizen article we
01:23:55.540 cited earlier
01:23:56.360 explains that
01:23:57.260 in August 1977,
01:24:00.060 the NYPD
01:24:00.860 proudly announced
01:24:01.900 that the son of
01:24:02.740 Sam was caught.
01:24:04.360 Officials revealed
01:24:05.340 that the serial
01:24:06.180 killer was David
01:24:07.780 Berkowitz,
01:24:09.060 a 25-year-old
01:24:10.280 Jewish man who
01:24:11.220 lived in Yonkers
01:24:12.180 and who claimed
01:24:13.360 that a demonic
01:24:14.080 dog named Sam
01:24:15.460 was ordering him
01:24:16.680 to commit the
01:24:17.360 murders.
01:24:18.540 While the city
01:24:19.580 of New York
01:24:20.240 let go a
01:24:21.000 collective sigh of
01:24:22.000 relief after the
01:24:23.040 arrest of Berkowitz,
01:24:24.680 some observers
01:24:25.500 quickly realized
01:24:26.720 that many details
01:24:27.980 were not adding up.
01:24:30.340 A close analysis
01:24:31.340 of eyewitness
01:24:32.180 accounts did not
01:24:33.680 match the
01:24:34.220 whereabouts of
01:24:35.020 Berkowitz in
01:24:35.760 several crime
01:24:36.480 scenes.
01:24:37.680 Furthermore,
01:24:38.900 Berkowitz looked
01:24:39.660 nothing like several
01:24:40.880 composite sketches
01:24:41.880 released by the
01:24:42.820 police.
01:24:43.980 Many of the
01:24:44.520 sketches happened
01:24:45.280 to closely resemble
01:24:46.280 other members of
01:24:47.260 his coven.
01:24:48.620 Berkowitz even
01:24:49.380 confirmed in an
01:24:50.300 interview that one
01:24:51.740 of the suspects
01:24:52.500 in the sketches
01:24:53.200 was actually a
01:24:54.780 high-level woman
01:24:55.900 who came in from
01:24:57.260 out of town to
01:24:58.160 take part in the
01:24:59.020 ritual killings.
01:25:01.240 There was also
01:25:01.940 another vital
01:25:02.840 element that was
01:25:03.800 completely ignored
01:25:04.760 by the police
01:25:05.500 force.
01:25:06.640 Nearly every clue
01:25:07.700 relating to this
01:25:08.620 case could only be
01:25:10.200 understood with
01:25:11.100 knowledge of
01:25:11.800 occultism,
01:25:12.820 witchcraft,
01:25:13.780 and black magic.
01:25:15.500 Shortly after his
01:25:16.800 incarceration,
01:25:18.440 David Berkowitz
01:25:19.280 began reaching out
01:25:20.680 to various
01:25:21.240 individuals through
01:25:22.280 letters that
01:25:23.380 provided relevant
01:25:24.300 information relating
01:25:25.520 to the case.
01:25:27.160 According to
01:25:27.740 Maury Terry,
01:25:29.100 David Berkowitz
01:25:29.960 wanted the
01:25:30.900 Son of Sam case
01:25:31.920 to be resolved
01:25:32.760 and more importantly,
01:25:34.760 he wanted the
01:25:35.360 truth to come out.
01:25:36.900 However,
01:25:37.900 he could not
01:25:38.500 outright rat out
01:25:39.900 cult members
01:25:40.720 because that would
01:25:41.560 put his family
01:25:42.340 and his own life
01:25:43.280 at risk.
01:25:44.780 In 1979,
01:25:46.700 Berkowitz sent a
01:25:47.700 letter to a
01:25:48.300 California preacher
01:25:49.220 that summed up
01:25:50.100 his situation.
01:25:51.640 I really don't
01:25:52.780 know how to
01:25:53.300 begin this letter,
01:25:54.160 but at one time
01:25:55.800 I was a member
01:25:57.200 of an occult group.
01:25:59.060 Being sworn to
01:26:00.000 secrecy and
01:26:01.440 face death,
01:26:02.760 I cannot reveal
01:26:03.480 the name of the
01:26:04.240 group,
01:26:05.120 nor do I wish
01:26:05.960 to.
01:26:06.940 This group
01:26:07.760 contained a
01:26:08.480 mixture of
01:26:09.060 satanic
01:26:09.560 practices which
01:26:11.000 included the
01:26:11.660 teachings of
01:26:12.320 Aleister Crowley
01:26:13.200 and Eliphas
01:26:14.340 Levy.
01:26:15.520 It was,
01:26:16.600 still is,
01:26:17.840 totally blood
01:26:18.640 oriented,
01:26:19.840 and I am
01:26:20.280 certain you
01:26:20.900 know just what
01:26:21.600 I mean.
01:26:22.040 The coven's
01:26:23.540 doctrines are
01:26:24.400 a blend of
01:26:25.060 ancient druidism,
01:26:26.740 the teachings
01:26:27.180 of the secret
01:26:27.900 order of the
01:26:28.600 golden dawn,
01:26:29.900 black magic,
01:26:31.360 and the host
01:26:31.960 of other
01:26:32.440 unlawful and
01:26:33.340 obnoxious
01:26:33.960 practices.
01:26:35.560 As I said,
01:26:36.440 I have no
01:26:37.200 interest in
01:26:37.920 revealing the
01:26:38.540 coven,
01:26:39.260 especially because
01:26:40.080 I have almost
01:26:40.780 met sudden
01:26:41.460 death on
01:26:42.020 several occasions,
01:26:43.600 once by
01:26:44.160 half an inch,
01:26:45.420 and several
01:26:45.900 others have
01:26:46.540 already perished
01:26:47.420 under mysterious
01:26:48.220 circumstances.
01:26:49.940 These people
01:26:50.520 will stop at
01:26:51.260 nothing,
01:26:52.200 including murder.
01:26:53.940 They have no
01:26:54.500 fear of man-made
01:26:55.680 laws or the
01:26:56.900 Ten Commandments.
01:26:58.560 I think it is
01:26:59.260 imperative that I
01:27:00.660 educate certain
01:27:01.520 people, people
01:27:03.060 whose job it is
01:27:04.040 to clean up
01:27:04.740 after this
01:27:05.280 coven.
01:27:06.580 Of course, I am
01:27:07.400 talking about the
01:27:08.260 authorities.
01:27:10.020 Actually, it is
01:27:11.300 my duty as a
01:27:12.240 citizen of this
01:27:13.000 planet to do
01:27:13.840 so, but it
01:27:15.360 would be up to
01:27:16.000 those concerned
01:27:16.940 people to do
01:27:17.820 their own
01:27:18.300 investigating,
01:27:19.020 knowing the
01:27:20.380 fearlessness and
01:27:21.220 dedication this
01:27:22.080 group possesses,
01:27:23.240 I fear greatly
01:27:24.540 for my family.
01:27:26.460 To break away
01:27:27.200 completely is
01:27:28.620 impossible because
01:27:30.000 of a pact each
01:27:30.960 new member signs
01:27:32.020 in his own
01:27:32.640 blood.
01:27:34.000 Also, each
01:27:35.440 new and
01:27:35.920 carefully screened
01:27:36.960 recruit supplies
01:27:38.340 a picture or
01:27:39.260 pictures of all
01:27:40.300 of his family
01:27:41.040 or her family
01:27:41.920 members, plus
01:27:43.400 their addresses.
01:27:44.040 These items are
01:27:46.140 used, if
01:27:46.800 necessary, as
01:27:48.080 tools for
01:27:48.620 blackmail,
01:27:49.600 coercion, and
01:27:50.920 eventually physical
01:27:51.900 harm should one
01:27:53.100 attempt to betray
01:27:53.880 the group.
01:27:55.040 The group, Berkowitz
01:27:56.580 belonged to, was
01:27:58.100 named the
01:27:58.640 Children.
01:27:59.960 They often met
01:28:00.800 at night at
01:28:01.500 Untermyer Park in
01:28:02.660 Yonkers, New
01:28:03.380 York to partake in
01:28:04.580 black masses and
01:28:05.680 ritual sacrifices.
01:28:08.100 Complete with
01:28:08.860 sphinxes and
01:28:10.040 Masonic twin
01:28:10.920 pillars, Untermyer
01:28:12.640 Park was built on a
01:28:13.940 occult principles, and
01:28:15.440 filled with symbolism
01:28:16.700 relating to elite
01:28:17.760 secret societies.
01:28:19.720 It certainly
01:28:20.360 qualifies as a
01:28:21.500 sinister site.
01:28:23.400 Untermyer Park was
01:28:25.080 built by Samuel J.
01:28:26.560 Untermyer, an
01:28:27.900 extremely powerful
01:28:28.920 figure in United
01:28:29.900 States history, who
01:28:31.440 was deeply connected
01:28:32.440 with the occult
01:28:33.240 elite.
01:28:34.620 According to
01:28:35.260 Mori Terry,
01:28:36.540 Untermyer was a
01:28:37.520 member of the New
01:28:38.280 York City Temple of
01:28:39.420 the Hermetic Order of
01:28:40.440 the Golden Dawn, one
01:28:42.060 of the most powerful
01:28:43.120 occult secret societies
01:28:44.580 of its day.
01:28:46.540 During the 1970s,
01:28:48.500 Untermyer Park was
01:28:49.680 in an advanced state
01:28:50.840 of neglect and
01:28:52.000 became a meeting
01:28:52.740 place for the
01:28:53.560 children who met in
01:28:54.960 an abandoned
01:28:55.560 building they
01:28:56.380 called the Devil's
01:28:57.500 Cave.
01:28:58.600 In a 1993
01:29:00.140 interview, Dirkowitz
01:29:02.060 described what
01:29:02.960 happened in the
01:29:03.700 Devil's Cave.
01:29:04.460 We had a spot where
01:29:06.840 there was like a
01:29:07.520 circle with rocks.
01:29:09.280 You could actually
01:29:09.920 feel like a force
01:29:11.820 out there, a
01:29:13.080 presence out there
01:29:13.960 in the darkness.
01:29:15.380 We began to hear
01:29:16.660 more and more
01:29:17.500 conversations about
01:29:18.680 witchcraft, about
01:29:20.200 black magic.
01:29:21.920 We were really having
01:29:22.960 little religious
01:29:23.740 services almost.
01:29:25.700 I did begin to
01:29:26.700 witness some animal
01:29:27.620 sacrifices.
01:29:29.260 We were at a
01:29:29.880 park.
01:29:30.940 I guess it was
01:29:31.580 Untermyer Park.
01:29:32.460 We had this circle
01:29:34.200 formed and we
01:29:35.620 said, okay, let's
01:29:37.160 start chanting now.
01:29:38.620 Let's call the names
01:29:39.760 of the demons.
01:29:41.020 Hi, I'm Darren
01:29:41.740 Marler, host of the
01:29:42.760 Weird Darkness
01:29:43.340 podcast.
01:29:44.060 I want to talk about
01:29:44.760 the most important
01:29:45.600 tool in my podcast
01:29:46.840 belt.
01:29:47.380 Spreaker is the
01:29:48.160 all-in-one platform
01:29:49.200 that makes it easy
01:29:50.000 to record, host, and
01:29:51.280 distribute your show
01:29:52.200 everywhere, from
01:29:52.980 Apple Podcasts to
01:29:54.140 Spotify.
01:29:54.720 But the real game
01:29:55.480 changer for me was
01:29:56.680 Spreaker's monetization.
01:29:58.200 Spreaker offers
01:29:58.860 dynamic ad insertion.
01:30:00.480 That means you can
01:30:00.960 automatically insert
01:30:01.860 ads into the
01:30:02.460 end of your
01:30:02.740 episodes, no
01:30:03.660 editing required.
01:30:04.840 And with Spreaker's
01:30:05.500 programmatic ads,
01:30:06.660 they'll bring the
01:30:07.180 ads to you, and
01:30:08.180 you get paid for
01:30:09.020 every download.
01:30:09.840 This turned my
01:30:10.520 podcasting hobby into
01:30:11.720 a full-time career.
01:30:12.920 Spreaker also has a
01:30:13.980 premium subscription
01:30:14.920 model where your
01:30:15.720 most dedicated
01:30:16.440 listeners can pay for
01:30:17.520 bonus content or
01:30:18.660 early access, adding

01:30:40.220 dot com.
01:30:40.960 Let's call Satan's
01:30:42.500 name.
01:30:43.560 Let's call Lucifer.
01:30:45.360 Let's bring him.
01:30:46.900 Let's summon from the
01:30:47.960 netherworld, from the
01:30:49.340 air, and let's ask him
01:30:51.100 to anoint you, to
01:30:52.580 knight you as one of
01:30:53.560 his royal soldiers, to
01:30:54.900 do his bidding, to do
01:30:56.540 his will.
01:30:57.980 There were definitely
01:30:58.840 lots of arsons.
01:31:00.680 These demons wanted
01:31:01.820 fire.
01:31:03.280 Was this Lucifer?
01:31:05.540 Yes, it was Lucifer.
01:31:07.460 It was Moloch, another
01:31:09.140 god who wanted fire
01:31:10.320 sacrifices.
01:31:12.280 In another interview,
01:31:14.020 Berkowitz revealed the
01:31:15.140 true meaning of the name
01:31:16.380 Son of Sam.
01:31:18.340 Sadly, the psychiatrists
01:31:19.920 or the psychologists are
01:31:21.200 so blind.
01:31:22.460 You know, I tried to
01:31:23.720 explain to them what was
01:31:24.820 happening, but they
01:31:26.020 couldn't grasp it.
01:31:27.620 Who Sam really was.
01:31:29.540 I hate to talk about
01:31:30.680 this because they have
01:31:32.100 made a joke about this
01:31:33.240 for so very long.
01:31:34.960 You know, the talking
01:31:35.780 dog.
01:31:37.240 Basically, I had given
01:31:38.880 them the whole thing in
01:31:39.960 a nutshell, and they
01:31:41.340 never quite caught on
01:31:42.500 that the highest ranking
01:31:43.660 demon is Samhain.
01:31:46.560 And these people who
01:31:47.480 died, sadly, were
01:31:49.900 him.
01:31:51.120 The letter that was
01:31:52.260 sent to the journalist
01:31:53.340 Jimmy Breslin during
01:31:55.020 the Son of Sam killings
01:31:56.220 alluded to occult
01:31:57.780 practices of the
01:31:58.840 children.
01:32:00.080 First, hello from the
01:32:01.880 gutters of NYC with a
01:32:03.960 reference to Untermeyer
01:32:05.080 Park, which was built
01:32:06.620 adjacent to the massive
01:32:07.960 old Proton Aqueduct
01:32:09.460 system, which is also
01:32:11.480 believed to have been
01:32:12.440 the site of underground
01:32:13.600 meetings.
01:32:14.980 The letter also mentions
01:32:16.420 dog manure, vomit,
01:32:18.400 stale wine, urine, and
01:32:20.140 blood.
01:32:21.220 All elements used in
01:32:22.700 witchcraft.
01:32:24.160 While the children
01:32:24.980 allegedly began as a
01:32:26.340 group of wayward young
01:32:27.480 people gabbling with
01:32:29.080 drugs and occult
01:32:30.020 practices, inside the
01:32:31.860 insiders, including
01:32:32.900 Berkowitz himself, have
01:32:34.860 indicated that it was
01:32:36.040 infiltrated by a powerful
01:32:37.460 group to carry out an
01:32:39.440 infernal task.
01:32:41.280 Their goal was to
01:32:43.180 commit the ultimate
01:32:44.200 sacrifice.
01:32:45.940 There was even a letter
01:32:47.140 that David Berkowitz had
01:32:48.420 left in his apartment, a
01:32:50.500 letter that was found and
01:32:51.680 withheld by the police
01:32:52.740 department, in which
01:32:54.260 Berkowitz wrote a warning
01:32:55.540 to all the police agencies in
01:32:57.820 the tri-state area, claiming
01:32:59.940 that there was a well-established
01:33:01.500 satanic cult organization
01:33:03.160 which had, as its goal, the
01:33:05.920 ritual murders of 100
01:33:07.640 young men and women.
01:33:10.220 Berkowitz was interrogated for
01:33:11.920 about 30 minutes in the early
01:33:13.500 morning of August 11, 1977.
01:33:16.860 He had quickly confessed to the
01:33:18.360 shootings and eagerly expressed
01:33:20.420 an interest in pleading guilty.
01:33:22.960 The investigation was led by John
01:33:25.200 Keenan, who took the confession.
01:33:28.020 During questioning, Berkowitz
01:33:29.840 originally claimed that his
01:33:31.340 neighbor's dog was one of the
01:33:32.920 reasons that he killed, stating
01:33:35.000 that the dog demanded the blood
01:33:36.820 of pretty young girls.
01:33:38.760 He said that the Sam mentioned in
01:33:40.580 the first letter was his former
01:33:42.600 neighbor, Sam Carr, and that
01:33:44.760 Harvey, Carr's black Labrador, was
01:33:47.680 possessed by an ancient demon which
01:33:50.080 issued irresistible commands that
01:33:52.140 Berkowitz kill people.
01:33:53.440 At a press conference in February
01:33:56.100 1979, however, Berkowitz declared
01:33:59.320 that his previous claims of
01:34:00.940 demonic possession were a hoax and
01:34:03.560 even suggested he had carried out
01:34:05.860 the killings with multiple
01:34:07.180 accomplices.
01:34:08.960 After his admission to Sullivan
01:34:10.440 prison, Berkowitz began to claim
01:34:13.020 that he had joined a satanic cult in
01:34:15.100 the spring of 1975.
01:34:17.580 In 1993, he made these claims known
01:34:20.980 when he announced to the press that
01:34:23.140 he had killed only three of the Son of
01:34:25.200 Sam victims, Gloria, Izzo, and
01:34:28.080 Soriani.
01:34:29.020 He said that he and several other
01:34:31.260 cult members were involved in every
01:34:33.800 incident by planning the events,
01:34:36.040 providing early surveillance of the
01:34:37.740 victims, and acting as lookouts and
01:34:40.240 drivers at the crime scenes.
01:34:41.760 It's important to note, Berkowitz stated,
01:34:45.320 he did not divulge the names of most of
01:34:48.140 his accomplices without putting his
01:34:50.220 family directly at risk.
01:34:52.600 In the 1977 Breslin letter, allegedly
01:34:55.600 written by the killer, the cult group
01:34:58.020 seems to be referenced as the 22
01:35:00.740 disciples of hell.
01:35:03.000 We should mention the fact that once
01:35:04.840 Berkowitz took the rap and was
01:35:06.720 apprehended by authorities,
01:35:08.240 21 others affiliated with the cult were
01:35:11.960 promptly killed.
01:35:14.060 Within a year of his sentencing, he was
01:35:16.400 moved to the Attica Correctional Facility.
01:35:19.400 Berkowitz had recently made the mistake of
01:35:21.980 publicly revealing the existence of his
01:35:24.100 accomplices.
01:35:25.180 It was then that he would be violently
01:35:27.680 attacked by fellow inmate William
01:35:29.700 Hauser, a career criminal, biker, who was
01:35:33.160 never charged.
01:35:34.000 This attempt on Berkowitz's life resulted
01:35:37.960 in a wound requiring more than 50
01:35:40.220 stitches to close, as Hauser had slashed
01:35:43.140 the left side of his throat from front
01:35:45.080 to back.
01:35:46.140 The majority of these accomplices would
01:35:48.380 remain unnamed.
01:35:49.980 However, Berkowitz did inevitably name two
01:35:53.160 of the cult members, John and Michael Carr.
01:35:56.780 The two men were sons of the dog owner, Sam
01:36:00.460 Carr, and they lived on nearby Warburton
01:36:03.380 Avenue.
01:36:04.960 Both of these other sons of Sam were long
01:36:07.860 dead.
01:36:09.060 John Carr had been killed in a shooting
01:36:11.020 which was suspiciously ruled a suicide in
01:36:13.660 North Dakota during 1978, less than a year
01:36:17.700 after Berkowitz was arrested.
01:36:20.220 And Michael Carr had been in a fatal car
01:36:22.440 accident in October of 1979, despite the
01:36:26.320 fact investigator Maury Terry and Carr's
01:36:28.700 former classmate described the death as
01:36:31.560 suspicious and suggested there was evidence
01:36:33.960 that he was run off the road intentionally.
01:36:37.240 Berkowitz claimed that the perpetrator of
01:36:39.540 the Damacy Lamino shooting was John Carr, and he
01:36:43.600 even added that a Yonkers police officer, also a cult
01:36:47.440 member, was actually involved in this crime.
01:36:50.040 He also claimed that Michael Carr was the one who fired
01:36:54.520 the shots at Lupo and Placido outside the Eliphas
01:36:57.480 Disco Club in June of 1977.
01:37:00.920 According to Terry, Michael Carr had been an active member of
01:37:04.920 the Church of Scientology and noted that Berkowitz, at the
01:37:08.520 time of his arrest, had been in possession of a list of
01:37:12.200 telephone numbers, including the number for the Fort Harrison
01:37:15.960 Hotel, the church's spiritual headquarters in Clearwater, Florida.
01:37:21.560 In a video interview made public in 2016, Berkowitz actually
01:37:26.680 admitted that he had been heavily influenced by reading literature
01:37:30.680 from the Process Church of the Final Judgment.
01:37:34.080 Before we conclude, there is an additional significant thread worth
01:37:39.340 pulling, which seamlessly ties in to this dark occult underground,
01:37:44.060 providing a unique window into the sinister synchronicities
01:37:47.440 malevolently devising our prevailing paradigm of power.
01:37:52.500 According to a brilliant article written by David Livingstone,
01:37:56.920 Rosemary's Baby in Chinatown, and produced by famous Hollywood
01:38:01.420 executive Robert Evans, who was linked to the Process Church
01:38:05.420 through his friendship with one of its leaders.
01:38:08.780 In The Ultimate Evil, Mori Terry links the Process Church to the
01:38:13.180 Sons of Sam. Peter Lavenda, the suspected author of the
01:38:17.420 Necronomicon, admitted in Sinister Forces that he and his circle
01:38:22.460 also had several friends in common with the son of Sam himself,
01:38:26.700 who all visited the magical child bookshop in Chelsea, founded by
01:38:31.340 Herman Slater, an American Wiccan high priest.
01:38:35.340 The magical child also served as the launching pad for the explosive
01:38:39.980 growth of Aleister Crowley's O.T.O. in the city.
01:38:44.140 Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea had just published their Illuminatus
01:38:48.880 trilogy, and interest in secret societies and occult lore was sweeping
01:38:53.740 through counterculture circles.
01:38:55.520 Brady McMurtry was attempting to revive the O.T.O. in California and had just
01:39:01.800 succeeded in having Crowley's Thoth tarot deck published.
01:39:05.920 According to Lavenda, from that year until 1984, I found myself in the center of many of the incidents
01:39:13.040 recounted in Terry's book, at least those that involved the Warlock Shop, Brooklyn Heights,
01:39:18.840 the O.T.O., and the various other secret societies and cults with their tenuous connections to the
01:39:24.840 Scientologists, the Process Church of the Final Judgment, the Church of Satan, the Ku Klux Klan,
01:39:31.400 the National Renaissance Party, and all the various witchcraft covens and personalities.
01:39:37.240 From the Gardnerians to the Alexandrians and Welsh traditionalists, from Raymond Buckland to Leo
01:39:43.960 Martello and Margot Adler, from covens gay and straight and mixed to covens clothed and sky-clad,
01:39:51.880 what was going on was much more blatant, much more vigorous than even Terry suspected.
01:39:58.520 As Terry reported, Berkowitz attended parties in Connecticut, at the house of Roy Cohn, Donald Trump's
01:40:06.600 mentor, who happened to run a pedophile blackmail network, strongly resembling the operation of
01:40:13.000 one Jeffrey Epstein. According to John DeCamp, author of the Franklin cover-up, the sexual blackmail
01:40:20.520 operation of Edwin Wilson, Iran-Contra operator and leading member of Ted Shackley's secret team
01:40:27.080 and the JFK Operation 40 assassination team, was merely a continuation of the one set up by Roy Cohn
01:40:35.240 during the McCarthy era with Louis Rosenstiel and J. Edgar Hoover. According to his CIA partner,
01:40:43.160 Frank Turpel, Wilson ran a CIA-directed sexual blackmailing pedophile ring of the kind which
01:40:50.440 were intensive in Washington at about the time of the Watergate scandal. Cohn admitted to NYPD
01:40:57.160 Detective James Rothstein that he was part of an elaborate sexual blackmail operation that compromised
01:41:04.360 politicians with child prostitutes carried out as part of an anti-communist crusade.
01:41:11.560 According to Rothstein, Cohn's job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general,
01:41:19.080 a congressman who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn's job was to set them up. Then
01:41:26.200 they would go along. Cohn told me that himself. Rothstein also had an opportunity to speak to
01:41:34.120 infamous Operation 40 Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis, who revealed that one of the reasons for
01:41:40.440 breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters was a hidden pedophile book which
01:41:46.520 was supposed to have a list of politicians. Thought in the deluge, we are vehemently enveloped by a
01:41:53.720 strong sense of foreboding. According to David Berkowitz, the Process Church provided children
01:42:00.680 for sex at parties held by wealthy people in Westchester, Manhattan, Connecticut, and Long Island.
01:42:08.120 Berkowitz informed Terry that one of these parties were held at Roy Cohn's house in Connecticut.
01:42:13.960 Additionally, two further witnesses maintained that occasionally present at these parties
01:42:21.160 were a Yonkers judge, at least two Westchester County politicians, a high-ranking New York State
01:42:27.720 politician, a celebrated but later murdered physician, a Nobel Prize-winning doctor, and two
01:42:34.680 aides to then-mayor of New York City Abraham Beam. What if an organization existed, providing bold
01:42:43.000 connections between the most infamous serial killers in American history, various satanic cult groups
01:42:49.640 well-versed in occult principles with deep ties to elite secret societies, and sinister covert action
01:42:57.160 wielding insidious clandestine operational methods? Have we largely been conditioned to oversimplify the
01:43:04.920 underlying motivations driving such irrational human action as disturbing and evil and serial
01:43:11.400 ritual murder? Whether it be through calculated deception, or the desperate need for a plausible
01:43:18.520 explanation, the end result remains the same. This week, we set out looking for the truth,
01:43:26.520 only to find the truth, almost too frightening to contemplate. Into this abyss we reluctantly walk,
01:43:35.160 not knowing we have vastly underestimated the scope of the ultimate evil.
01:43:41.160 walk, wait, bring the dreaded Expandedest currently, and forget that we are
01:43:50.520 www.mysteraría.nu
01:43:55.800 to throwing there
01:43:58.440 Thank you.
