it was and still is to a certain extent how much it
overlapped with the subversion ideologies of the
Christians and Muslims. this is in part why people
like Myall have talked about Islam at all (as well
as that the religious complex of Islam has been
demonized by Westerners as 'terrorists' and worse).

it still exists. is it a church? not by some evaluations. a

granted. I haven't seen this and have been watching for

I am not yet convinced that this was Myatt and do not

numerous "converts" to Neopaganism and Satanism who
later then "converted back" to Christianity and set
about pinpointing targets of SRA scaremongering amongst
those with whom they previously fraternized, and also
the Joy of Satan's "Satanism" construct which they use
to deceive children into supporting their fascist aims.
you really can't trust much these people say. this
news article spends a great deal of time explaining
what "is said by Myatt" without substantiating any
of it. I'm no Myatt-hater, but i see nothing that

Rumor. There is something by someone in the UK up on our "Is Fascism
Satanic" page - one of the essays on there is from a woman that knew
of these people, or that person (I don't remember exactly - go look) -
it's up on www.satanicreds.org - probabaly in Soc Pol section.
As to the other contentions here. I said already, straight up way way
back, I read every single thing ONA wrote in hard copy. I might still
have it, not sure. It was definitely NOT a copy of the usual western
occultism, which I consider bilge. It was very very different and had
mid east influences. I said that up front in hard copy letter back
then (which is all there was to communicate with, other than a
phone).
Sorry, I do not have or remember DETAILS - but someone else posted
some.

Socks do not photograph with me and Phil and others in photographs,
Noc. People used to be over my house in droves - we had parties, set
up street signs "Devil's Lane" and such, "Mephisto's Casino" and
such. Those were the days - economy was quite good back then.
Anyway - people DID post from my home, on my puter. They said as
much. I said as much.
To top that shit, nobody ever accused me of such bullshit until there
was a problem with a certain org which started, let me remind you,
when I chose to take up the banner of "IS FASCISM SATANIC" and say a
whopping NO IT IS NOT to that question. HA! Let's NOT forget that
little factoid. OH, then they and their fans tried to spread this
shit - and to TOP that, the HP of that org TALKED to these people in
the past, he saw fucking VIDEOS of us at parties.
He knew god damned well these people were pals, often at my house
hanging out, even staying here (Dawn was living here for awhile, so
was Andy), and that they were individual people. I call that FUCKING
ASSHOLISM. Tell the fucking lie, repeat it, get a gang to repeat it -
and they think it makes the grass pink.
I do NOT have socks. That is, I do not make a post and pretend to be
someone else. WHY would I bother to do that? WHY? I can't be
bothered. I do NOT make anonymous posts, don't know how, I tried it
once, ages ago and it didn't go thru (it wouldn't have been on this
group anyway, it was political). I'd have no damned reason to do it -
well, unless as in the political thing I never posted - I might get
into real trouble.
Speaking of which, I can post something that sort of sounds like some
of the stuff ONA people or person MIGHT have read and understood. I
just have to remember to do it when I post this.
Quite recently, I was not well, a friend that is computer savvy came
here to help with business I have. And he went and posted something
from here, like he just couldn't wait and go home and do it.
Whatever. SO WHAT? Anywhere else, this wouldn't be some kind of
fucking issue.
He also used my shower, my couch, my kitchen, my bathroom, my washing
machine and dryer, my TV and DVD player, ate my food and LIVED HERE
while I was not well. I don't happen to find any of that strange.
Phil doesn't know how to turn on my computer - nor does he care to
find out how. He's just NOT interested. So it goes.
It's so common that the guy across the street was letting the
neighborhood teens that mow his lawn and such use his computer.
OOops, now he claims he has credit card charges for some iTunes. Oh
well. Now, that NEVER happened to me. But then, people that stayed
over here and used stuff here as if they were family were well known
to me.
If you came here and made a post from my computer, do you think people
would think that was me pretending to be you? Well, anywhere else but
HERE nobody would think that. Fuck here.

That wouldn't do it. Compare the Casey style flame to the Brendan
style flame. I know them both and I couldn't tell you who said what,
their styles are very similar, their thinking on certain matters is
identical and neither of them copied that part. They just really
agree on some things. But, Noc, guess what. Their styles are NOTHING
like my style! Their styles are, however, very much like the style
Xloptuny used to use, and Jacqui confirmed it. She loved their
flames!
I tended to copy Wayne with the use of capitals - that predates
computers. Then Casey and Brendan did it on computers, but I don't
know if they did that on their own, or if someone copied someone
else. I have no idea. But I know I copied it from Wayne since it was
just easier to type, faster.
Ah, the post. I'll make it.

> Just because the net is flooded with ONA writings,

I have only seen a handful of ONA documents since
the 1990s and am not sure about their provenance
or origins. I think there is an interest in giving
impressions, as is often the case in New Religious
Movements, of being first and original and old and
offline, but the reality may be different, with a
variety of actors filling in the shoes fashioned
by predecessors (see below 'New AEon Magic').
your rhetoric is quite comparable to numerous of
those whom i have encountered who have attempted
to obscure and cover up the actual far simpler
and less numerous social alternatives. you have
no conventional civil name under which you are
posting, so i have no reason to think you are
more than a sock for someone who wants to pose.
please give me one. for all i know you are
Myatt himself fashioning an underpinning for
yourself which never actually existed.
can you explain how you know about the ONA, what
your relationship with it is and has been, and
how you came to know Long/Myatt as you call him?
> ...if you are not an adept of the ONA, nor know

there are several flaws with this. the ONA might
be several orgs and have numerous lists of questions,
and thus one might know different people 'personally'
but not really know the same ONA. any or all of these
might have leaders regardless of what you're saying
here. as long as Long isn't the director, then any
variation of the actuality can come into being, since
he isn't consistently controlling it himself. the
best that can happen at that point is that Long or
someone impersonating (/within the sock of) Long
will come on and say that the person is a fake.
without an actual Long we can confirm, there is
effectively no Long, and we cannot believe anything
attributed to Long other than that it was written.

well that is the problem. things aren't *written*
into existence. that is what subversion ideologies
and fantasist propagandists may promote, but the
reality is that things tend to leave traces in
other than writings and these can be tracked. if
they can't, then they are either forgotten or
become the foundation for legends without reality.

it's a kind of lying and fakery, actually. the Satanist
world tends to explain it away as 'Lesser Black Magick'
and hopes to avoid condemnation of the deception by
this (sometimes elitist) shenanigan.

or their appearance. the very fact that he or you

grounds for disputing the contentions being made.

my records has 'Conrad Robury' as the author of
the Black Book of Satan, and "an unknown author"
as the author of the Black Book of Satan III.
without substantiation, the whole morass is
likely to be left to the past as unfounded and,
therefore, forgotten. lots of Neopagan past is
like this and becomes a part of their legends
vouched over for centuries (this is the Way of
Religion manifesting in the modern age).

those are very helpful pointers so as to identify
his material as compared to someone else's. once
we are informed that "Anton Long" is a simulacrum
which anyone might have inhabited, then it becomes
a crap-shoot and we have to piece it apart, figuring
that nobody is substantiated unless identified. if
it was Myatt from the beginning, he's obscured
himself pretty severely using his methods.
these aspects weren't part of the Anton Long
material that i recall seeing initially from
the ONA. for this reason, and until i review
this more carefully, i will assume that the
early Anton Long was someone else, not Myatt.

this is what it starts being in the eyes of observers
as long as there is no substantiation to the various
contentions about who the Anton Longs were. once you
make it a simulacrum and a variable, and nobody steps
up to claim the name, it's just a batch of papers
that anybody could have written.
> These opinions are based on a lack of understanding

they are also based on responsible sourcing and an
abject refusal to be subsumed by lying fakers. it is
possible that this is why, in fact, GM Blackwood
became involved as he did, and tried to fake his way
as the head of the ONA -- he recognized the Method
of Religion for what it was: a system of falsified
myth-making without foundation, and hoped that he
might insert himself into it for his own purposes.
unfortunately for him, he ran into people who were
able to convince him that he was in error or that
he couldn't get away with it. now, whether he was
convinced by anything substantial remains to be seen.
the modes of convincement have only been described.
> The ONA, as Myatt has made it, is a memetic seed....
when did Myatt start making it? that's the next
question which nobody has substantiated. assumedly
we can look for his telltale marks in the data.
> By 'Caladrius' of ONA
who is Caladrius of ONA? when was this written?
was this given out in some publication? once we
understand that the screed of ONA proceeds from
any and all who want to have a voice, then all
of it must be doubted and little of it will go
on to substantiate any claims made about it by
the batches of scammers who may come along who
will try to breathe life into it. those who
become its dupes will deserve their fate.
this is in fact the same kind of thing which is
used by LHP anti-Christian groups taking up
alternative religious pathways from earliest
times; from "Witches" (a new religious strata)
to "Satanists" (a new religious strata). that
they found the Christian subversion ideologies
sound vessels for their fabrications served
their purposes. that their existence did not
in fact associate with the subversion ideology
or its past is somewhat clear to those of us
trying to piece together the actual history
of the movement(s).
a good example of this same thing is my
construction of the Gospel of Satan. the vessel,
the diatribe antagonistic to it as a kind of
'golem' was raised a while back by Christians.
I shifted my scripture into that vessel when i
realised that it fitted properly as a gospel
and it was of the character of a Satanian poem.
at that point i was able to use the fabricated
subversion ideology as a launching point, not
only in terms of internet searches (which it
has now risen to the top of!), but as for all
time the only real Gospel of Satan yet created.
it is too bad that modern religious feel it is
necessary to fabricate and deceive their own
members into believing in the ancientness or
even recent historical primacy of their docs
and membership orgs, but there it is. it fits
with the notion set out by Christians as
focussed on 'The Father of Lies'. lying isn't
just for your enemies any more -- if it sells
your religion, it is quite fine to dupe your
fellow religious. if it worked for the simple
Christians, why not employ it against your own
modern alternative to Christianity?
ethics? bah! who needs 'em? even the Wiccans
whose 3-Fold Law of Return is legendary in its
own right doesn't stop 'em from promoting the
ancientness of the Witchcraft Religion. once a
dupe has bought the important part, then the
rest of the sheep follow suit and we can forget
the fact that rational analysis isn't being
brought to bear on any of it.
some things never change, just the names and
times shuffle a bit.
Hail Satan!
satanservice.org@noctifer (nocTifer)
strange. sociologists of religion have begun to peg
Christos Beest as one 'Stephen Brown'. is this an error?
please explain where you come by your information.
you do realize, of course that, once the "wrong"
information heads toward being solidified without
foundation, that it is less likely to come loose,
and anonymity and obscuration will be the result
of undermining the whole? :)
certain exceptions occur when someone pins it to
an actual human being, like Anton Szandor LaVey
(aka Howard Stanton Levey). such individuals can
be traced, in greater and greater capacity, and
as their family and friends cop to the realities,
what is left is that the individual (n this case
LaVey/Levey -- did he ever legally change his name?
in Calif one can do it by usage) were simply liars,
and nothing they said pertaining to their doings
could be relied upon (which seems the case with
LaVey, although some of it was witnessed/recorded).
that's all very nice, but one cannot really have
it *2* ways: being anonymous and getting credit
where credit was due. eventually there will be
a winnowing out, and either responsibility (which
is being evaded here, probably due to association
with 'culling' and the more heinous aspects of
resembling the subversion ideologies) will be
taken, or completely cut adrift without credit
given to those who might otherwise deserve it.
satanservice.org@noctifer (nocTifer)
Hi nocTifer!
I don't think the Christos Beest = Richard Moult identification is
wrong.
If you compare the art work of Moult to the (partial) version of a
Sinister Tarot designed by Beest, you can clearly see the artist is
the same person.
http://www.gazetree.com/
for Moult.
http://arcanaxv.multiply.com/photos/album/52
for photos of the cards done by Beest.
Whether or not Beest/Moult worked under other names at some point is
an interesting topic for speculation...if that's what you're
interested in?

According to Wikipedia's article on the ONA, Myatt converted to Islam.
I'm not really sure how accurate that is, because I just recently
started reading the ONA material myself.

I never really gave it much thought. People in the CoS at the time
(90s) said that they were all one person. Since I realize nowadays
that they say that about anyone that criticizes them (which the ONA
did and TBF printed it) - it's just another grain of salt. I have no
idea who these people are other than what others have said. I don't
really care. But I DO consider their stuff NOT a copy of western

No. And he obviously heard of me since he sent me the story.
Btw, referring to something else you said somewhere on alt.s, nobody
gets kicked off our egroup for asking questions. In all the years
it's been around, 4 people were encouraged to leave. 1. 2 bossy ex
CoS people that wanted to bully or ban other members and had no power
to do it. 2. a person had a psychotic break (seriously!) - and 3. a
person that tried to get the SR to "go after Egan." That's it.

this perhaps false. his name is on versions of the Star Game.
does this mean he "didn't sign them"? perhaps technically, yes.

in California, continued usage determines legality. therefore
you will find that "Anton Szandor LaVey" is on the legal
paperwork, which is demonstrated by Aquino's "Church of Satan".
thus your contention here is inaccurate? is it knowingly so?

we know it if we believe attestations such as yours which
are without grounds. that is, we begin to 'know' falsities.

everyone has a legal name, some have more than one because
they are interested in blurring their identity. LaVey had
*one* legal name: Anton Szandor LaVey, to my knowledge.
through time he had 2 of them, and his birth name
seems to have been Howard Stanton Levey. smoke about
'real names' is just that, smoke without fire.

false. LaVey was too widely exposed to the public not to
have this disclosed. even his family disclosed his actual
biography, from all appearances, as did his former
associates. he didn't keep his enemies close enough
to prevent that.
> The same also applies to Anton Long.
false. Anton Long is apparently just a name on paper or
electronic files. we have no photographs. we have no
extended contentions and public appearances. the two
are VERY VERY different.
> How does a random outsider, not of the ONA....
first let's determine
-- that there is a consistent ONA
nobody has demonstrated this in relation to a signature,
to a location, to a publication (the Watcher? has anyone
asked Graeme Wilson, P.O. Box 38-262, Petone, Wellington
New Zealand, about this yet?)
-- that there are consistent members of an ONA
Anton Long, Christos Beest, Conrad Robury??
we have records of the CoS back to 1970s easy. this is
in the form of numerous circulated periodicals, newspaper
accounts, and photographs of public appearances. we have
ZILCH about the ONA to my knowledge, except maybe a few
papers or some files with names and dates on them and no
circulation demonstrated. there may be a number of docs
with the same title circulating amongst those who are
interested in disinformation, and so it'll remain obscure.
ignore Myatt until Myatt demonstrates some connection.
Myatt himself apparently already says he has nothing to
do with it. Anton LaVey wasn't so fearful/evanescent.
I don't care what either of them or anyone else "wants
me to know." the limits of knowledge are what they are.
where people don't leave substantial enough a trail, it
ceases to be part of the historical record, and no one
who wants to thereafter "construct themselves as part of
the historical record" will have any substantiation so as
to be believed. if they kept track of things, actually
made expressions that might be detailed as to timing and
content, then they might be believable. otherwise, feh.
> ...Why would ONA Old Guards like Ms. Pointy Hat
who is "Ms. Pointy Hat"? please explain who you mean.
> ...other old guards are saying the opposite? ...
at this point we have only your contentions about who
"old guards" might be, and no identification of them.
if you mean someone specific, please explain who they
are, or explain where you find any of them referenced.
what does an "old guard" mean in terms of the ONA?
without greater specificity as to timing and the
development of the social group which may associate
to the name, this might resolve to 'those who decided
to adopt the Anton Long character last week' and there
would be no way to discern it otherwise. as such,
it ceases to become of any import whatever.
so it goes.
