History

* Piercing: A Cultural History Of Holeshttps://allthatsinteresting.com/history-of-piercinghttps://www.kolopiercing.com/blog/a-historical-look-at-body-piercings/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_piercing* earliest known evidence of body piercing is a stone relief from Nimrud, Iraq that depicts a man with a pierced ear. This is around the 9th century BC.* Ear Piercings* 5,300 years ago, Ötzi — the oldest mummy ever found – was discovered by two tourists in 1991 on the border between Austria and Italy; pierced ears, the holes gauged 7-11mm in diameter* King Tut, the trend was still going strong, with the boy king (whose reign lasted from 1332-1323BC) also displaying evidence of wearing earrings, alongside many other Ancient Egyptians.* Julius Caesar himself bringing ear piercings into fashion during his reign from 49-44BC.* during the Elizabethan era of late 16th century Britain, any man of nobility had at least one ear piercing to show off his wealth.* the practice began in primitive tribes for superstitious reasons* People believed that demons could enter the body through the ears, but that they were repelled by metal: Thus, earrings were a protection against possession* Nose Piercings* The first recorded mention of nose rings is in Genesis 24:22. When Abraham decides to find a wife for his son Isaac, he chooses Rebekah, and gives her a gold nose ring to seal the deal.* Mughal emperors brought the practice to India in the 16th century. A stud or ring is often worn in the left nostril by women, as the left side is associated with female reproductive organs. The piercing is supposed to lessen the pain of birth and menstruation.* 1960s and 1970s, when hippies started traveling to India, and were taken up by the punk movement in the ‘70s as a sign of nonconformity.* Septum Piercings* among tribal peoples, often used to make warrior men look fierce.* Asmat tribe in Irian Jaya, Indonesia will stretch these piercings to as much as 25mm in diameter* The Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas pierced their septums with gold and jade to symbolize the water and sun gods* In India, Nepal, and Tibet, an amulet called a bulak is attached to the piercing. It is believed that piercing the nose prevents infection, though the bulak itself seems to be purely ornamental — and the bigger, the better.* Aborigines in Australia, the piercing is used to flatten the nose and therefore make it more “beautiful.”* Tongue Piercings* 14th and 16th centuries, tongue piercings originated as a ritual among the Aztecs and Mayans as a form of blood sacrifice. * Priests and shamans in these cultures would also pierce their own tongues to create an altered state of consciousness so they could communicate with the gods.* 20th century carnies learned about tongue piercings from religious ascetics, and would perform them as a sideshow attraction. 1980s, with the opening of Gauntlet in LA, the first professional piercing shop in the US. Elayne Angel, who founded Gauntlet, is often credited with promoting the piercing, both for shock value and for the enhancement of oral sex.* Lip Piercings* most common in tribal cultures, though only two tribes in Africa (the Dogon and Nuba) use rings. Most use labrets (bars with balls attached at either end) or plates.

* Letter: If [former members] have changed their mind, they think that their current ideas are correct and their former ideas incorrect. But I find that, as interesting as their current endeavors are, the basic platform of Satanism remains for me the most solid foundation from which to operate, so this paradox is mind-boggling for me.* Magus Gilmore eloquently writes in his essay "Yes, We Have No Occultism:"https://www.churchofsatan.com/yes-we-have-no-occultism/* "Our members . . . might be intrigued by other religions (from neo-pagan and Eastern beliefs to ancient doctrines), a broad range of philosophies . . . . And . . . Satanism provides an excellent platform for open, critical examination of many perspectives . . . . Our members are free to extract and employ whatever they find in them to be beneficial to themselves." * You can explore any ideas from other religions, using what you like and discarding what you don’t like. It’s what Satanism is in the first place!* Just don’t fool yourself into thinking there is any validity to the spiritual or occultnik hype you will find, as it is all a lie. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid

* He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virushttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-response.html* “Any way you cut it, this is going to be bad,” a senior medical adviser at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. Carter Mecher, wrote on the night of Jan. 28, in an email to a group of public health experts scattered around the government and universities. “The projected size of the outbreak already seems hard to believe.”* Throughout January, as Mr. Trump repeatedly played down the seriousness of the virus and focused on other issues, an array of figures inside his government — from top White House advisers to experts deep in the cabinet departments and intelligence agencies — identified the threat, sounded alarms and made clear the need for aggressive action.* Unfolding as it did in the wake of his impeachment by the House and in the midst of his Senate trial, Mr. Trump’s response was colored by his suspicion of and disdain for what he viewed as the “Deep State” * The virus at first took a back seat to a desire not to upset Beijing during trade talks, but later the impulse to score points against Beijing left the world’s two leading powers further divided* previously unreported details*  The National Security Council office responsible for tracking pandemics received intelligence reports in early January predicting the spread of the virus to the United States, and within weeks was raising options like keeping Americans home from work and shutting down cities the size of Chicago. Mr. Trump would avoid such steps until March.* Despite Mr. Trump’s denial weeks later, he was told at the time about a Jan. 29 memo produced by his trade adviser, Peter Navarro, laying out in striking detail the potential risks of a coronavirus pandemic: as many as half a million deaths and trillions of dollars in economic losses.* The health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II, directly warned Mr. Trump of the possibility of a pandemic during a call on Jan. 30, the second warning he delivered to the president about the virus in two weeks. The president, who was on Air Force One while traveling for appearances in the Midwest, responded that Mr. Azar was being alarmist.* Mr. Azar publicly announced in February that the government was establishing a “surveillance” system in five American cities to measure the spread of the virus and enable experts to project the next hot spots. It was delayed for weeks. The slow start of that plan, on top of the well-documented failures to develop the nation’s testing capacity, left administration officials with almost no insight into how rapidly the virus was spreading. “We were flying the plane with no instruments,” one official said.* By the third week in February, the administration’s top public health experts conclu...

* 1985 American horror comedy film loosely based on the 1922 H. P. Lovecraft serial novelette "Herbert West–Reanimator"* Log-line: After an odd new medical student arrives on campus, a dedicated local and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue.* He and his classmate Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) begin to test the serum on dead human bodies, and conflict with Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), who is infatuated with Cain's fiancée (Barbara Crampton) and wants to claim the invention as his own.* Originally devised by Gordon as a theatrical stage production and later a half-hour television pilot, the television script was revised to become a feature film.* estimated budget of $900,000, the film originally received an X rating* Psycho music* Frankenstein Story

* Infernal Informant* Humanity's Origin Story Just Got More Complicatedhttps://gizmodo.com/humanitys-origin-story-just-got-more-complicated-1842616478* Human evolution was messy, with multiple human species living and interbreeding at the same time, in a convoluted process that eventually led to us. * Fiction: anthropology and archaeology students were told that modern humans, formally known as Homo sapiens, could trace their evolutionary origins back in time by following a tidy, linear chain of ancestral species* Three new science papers released today are affirming this view of human origins, providing evidence of overlapping groups of ancient, or archaic, human species* new evidence speaks to the important role played by contemporaneous sister-species and sister-groups and the exchanging of fortuitous genetic material* new Nature paper co-authored by Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London and Rainer Grün from Griffith University in Australia* a hominin skull found buried in a Zambian cave back in 1921 has been re-analyzed and given a new age of 299,000 years old, give or take about 25,000 years* initially assigned to a brand new species called Homo rhodesiensis, but it was eventually re-assigned to Homo heidelbergensis, an archaic human that emerged some 600,000 years ago* If the new dating is correct, “then like other human species, heidelbergensis lasted for at least several hundred thousand years,” said Stringer* new dating coincides with the emergence of early modern humans, who debuted during the Middle Stone Age some 300,000 years ago* the Natural History Museum in London describes in a press release:* It is now looking like Africa and Eurasia were inhabited by a whole range of hominin species just a few hundred thousand years ago. While H. naledi was living in South Africa, H. heidelbergensis was surviving in South-Central Africa, and H. sapiens was emerging in Morocco and Ethiopia.At the same time as all this, H. neanderthalensis was evolving in Europe, the Denisovans were developing in Asia, H. erectus may still have been clinging on in Indonesia, and two diminutive hominins, H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis, were living the island life in Southeast Asia.* the new finding is “consistent with the emerging picture from the fossil record and from paleogenetics that several species coexisted for a long time across the vast expanse of the African continent, variously contributing to the origins of modern humans, not only directly as ancestral populations, but also through interbreeding with surviving archaic human species.”* second paper, also published today in Nature, investigates another archaic human species: Homo antecessor. The new research, led by Frido Welker and Enrico Cappellini from the University of Copenhagen* shows that H. antecessor, who lived between 2.5 million and 770,000 years ago during the Early Stone Age, is a close relative to modern humans and Neanderthals, as previously suspected.* “I fear that this study does not really answer the main question about H. antecessor, namely whether it’s the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern...

* Stratificationhttps://www.churchofsatan.com/pentagonal-revisionism/* the arrangement or classification of something into different groups.* The point on which all the others ultimately rest. There can be no more myth of “equality” for all—it only translates to “mediocrity” and supports the weak at the expense of the strong. Water must be allowed to seek its own level without interference from apologists for incompetence. No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity.* Does this equate to social stratification or is it solely personal?* The CoS definition is more about meritocracy or not stopping those from accepting the responsibility of their own actions* Does Misanthropy have anything to do with Stratification?* https://www.churchofsatan.com/five-point-plan-revisited/Number one is “stratification” and is emphasized by our founding High Priest as, “the point on which the other four goals ultimately rest.” It advocates allowing people to sink or swim according to their own talents and abilities, instead of being protected from the consequences of their own incompetence. “If a person is ethical, productive, sensitive and knows how to conduct himself among human beings, fine; if he’s a destructive, amoral parasite, he should be dealt with quickly and cruelly.” We haven’t achieved this yet. Because of the continuing cult of victimization, many incompetent, malefic beings are contentedly sucking enormous resources from our munificent government, sending us all into obscene debt, threatening the financial and social stability of our nation. As we keep working to enlighten, the compulsion to care for the PC appointed undeserving “victims” will dissipate like a cloud of unreason, leeches will be recognized for what they are and eradicated.
