A Word About the Satanists' Views of the World

People have the wrong idea about what Satanists are. They aren't neo-Pagans. They're an offshoot of Christianity, a reactionary kinda anti-Church. Regular Pagan/Wiccan stuff is a whole other deal. But I'm talking about real Satanists here. The folks who follow Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. Not the New Jersey metalhead disaffected teenagers who kill cats. The real Satanists.

Real Satanism is a philosophy of complete selfishness. It's about gettin it while you can and to hell with the other guy. Have no "confining morals". This is the material world and they're out to get theirs, screw you. It's everyone for themselves. Agape is for suckers. That's what real Satanists are about. Surprised? Don't believe me? Go read The Satanic Bible or The Satanic Witch and then we'll talk.

At The Childe we carried Satanist lit, including a local NYC paper called The Black Flame. I got a secret jolly out of them. It was almost always this one guy who delivered it, dressed in a black shirt, tie, suit and fedora. Kinda dapper. Damned if I can remember his name. But I always asked him what we owed him and he always answered honestly. Something about that made me happy. It was business; he made money from us and we made money from him. Pure Capitalism at its Free Market best.

If, say, Satanic types were to take control of big, big business, that would be bad. Because they would work together to go for all the power they could get. They'd get their industries declared people so they could buy more power from the politician pool, they'd have lobbyists telling politicians how to vote... they'd have so much power they could take over the country. They'd do anything to make a buck no matter how wrong it was. And they'd have hired really sharp but equally corrupt people to do the groundwork to make it all look good to the masses of people. Like media people. They'd make media stars out of other corrupt selfish shits but who have that "every guy" appeal, windbags who'd be willing to be the mouthpieces so they can be rich and powerful, too. And hand in hand, they'd all skip to the bank singing, "The hell with you, I've got mine."

I'm not saying, I'm just saying. It's never good to let any one like-minded people have so much control over the media. Not when they're the kind of people who have no regard for their fellow babies. Because bad things happen. People get hurt in a million ways. Knock down big media.
