On Thursday June 16th, 2016 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon

willl present a review of the 2010 book

Babylon's Banksters, the Alchemy of deep physics, high finance and

ancient religion, by Joseph Farrell. Although this book is somewhat

dated in light of current events, it is important in that it presents

the background of world-wide financial manipulation from a Hermetic and

Magical perspective. Farrell quotes authoritative sources to establish a

relation between business cycles planetary allignments and Solar

activities, lending credit to astrology, ancient aliens and even the

Pythagorean music of the spheres. The book raises more questions than it

answers but it is fascinating and filled with provocative inormation,

such as the investment formula developed by a Chinese communist Triad

Tong family that brought on the 2008 Great Recession (shades of Fu

Manchu !) So if you want to know how evil magicians manipulate the stock

market tune in and we'll give you an overview.
