Time Stamp: 5:58

  • Are Satanists Evil?
    • Meriam-Webster’s Definitions:
      • morally reprehensible : SINFUL, WICKED
      • arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct
      • causing discomfort or repulsion : OFFENSIVE
      • DISAGREEABLE
      • causing harm : PERNICIOUS
      • marked by misfortune : UNLUCKY
    • The Concept of Evil
      https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concept-evil/
      • there are at least two concepts of evil: a broad concept and a narrow concept
        • The broad concept picks out any bad state of affairs, wrongful action, or character flaw.divided into two categories: natural evil and moral evil.
          • Natural evils are bad states of affairs which do not result from the intentions or negligence of moral agents.
          • moral evils do result from the intentions or negligence of moral agents.
        • the narrow concept of evil picks out only the most morally despicable sorts of actions, characters, events, etc.
          • Since the narrow concept of evil involves moral condemnation, it is appropriately ascribed only to moral agents and their actions.
          • Evil in this narrower sense is more often meant when the term ‘evil’ is used in contemporary moral, political, and legal contexts.
      • Nietzsche argues that the concept of evil arose from the negative emotions of envy, hatred, and resentment. He contends that the powerless and weak created the concept of evil to take revenge against their oppressors.
        • The concepts of good and evil contribute to an unhealthy view of life which judges relief from suffering as more valuable than creative self-expression and accomplishment.
        • For this reason Nietzsche believes that we should seek to move beyond judgements of good and evil
    • Satanic Definition:
      • “…anything resulting in physical or mental gratification was defined as ‘evil’—thus assuring a lifetime of unwarranted guilt for everyone! So, if ‘evil’ they have named us, evil we are—and so what! The Satanic Age is upon us! Why not take advantage of it and LIVE!*” *(evil reversed)
        ‒Hell, The Devil, And How To Sell Your Soul; The Satanic Bible p.55; Anton Szandor LaVey 
    • What is the nature of evil?
      • Perspective: good is what you like, bad is what you don’t like
      • Because we argue you can’t change the definition of satanism as codified by Anton Szandor LaVey, can we redefine evil?
    • What does it mean to be evil?
      • To act in your own self interest. Sometimes others can benefit, sometimes they don’t.
    • Is evil a bad thing?
      • It is necessary for survival. Therefore, how can it be a bad thing?
      • It is a reaction others have to your actions, not the result or motivations of your actions.

2. Infernal Informant

Time Stamp: 39:21

  • Leaked Photo Surfaces of Purported Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
    • https://www.thedebrief.org/leaked-photo-surfaces-of-purported-unidentified-aerial-phenomena/
    • The Debrief has learned of the leak of an unclassified photo, said to have been widely distributed in the Intelligence Community, which purportedly shows what the DoD has characterized as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.”
    • On Wednesday, The Debrief reported on two classified intelligence reports issued by The Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF).
    • The Debrief learned of the existence of the photograph from a defense official who has been verified as being in a position to have access to the UAPTF intelligence reports. Additionally, the same two officials with the DoD, and one from the U.S. Intelligence community with whom we previously spoke, confirmed that the leaked image is the same photo provided in a 2018 intelligence position report issued by the UAPTF.
    • The photo itself is said to be considered “Unclassified and For Official Use Only,” however, because the image and accompanying report were shared on a secure Intelligence Community network, the officials we spoke with would only acknowledge it under strict conditions of anonymity. Prior to any agreement, The Debrief did verify these sources were in fact in positions within the U.S. Intelligence Community and under the authority of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence.
    • The Debrief reached out to Pentagon spokeswoman Susan Gough for clarification about the photo, who on December 3, 2020, responded to our questions via email.
    • “To maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of reports, observations or examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP,” Gough’s reply read.
    • According to officials The Debrief spoke with, the photo appears to be the same as one referenced in our previous reporting, described as an “unidentified silver ‘cube-shaped’ object” encountered by military pilots as it hovered motionlessly over the ocean. It appears evident that the image was captured by the backseat weapons systems operator of what appears to be an F/A-18 fighter jet.
    • The photo is consistent with the claims that the image was captured by a pilot using their personal cell phone. Officials we spoke with said the image was captured in 2018 off the East Coast of the United States.
    • While details are difficult to make out, the image appears to depict an inverted bell-shaped object, which is not readily identifiable given the photo’s context. The object appears to possess ridges or other protrusions along its lateral edges, extending toward its base.
    • two defense officials we spoke with said pilots who encountered the object described that, unlike a balloon under similar conditions, the object was completely motionless and seemingly unaffected by ambient air currents.
    • While they did not describe the photo as compelling, all three officials we spoke with seemed dismissive of the idea that it depicts a balloon. According to these sources, the photo would not have been issued if there were reasonable estimates that the object was a balloon, given the nature of the intelligence report in which it appeared.
    • The Debrief has not been able to speak with any of the pilots involved, in order to confirm the accounts described in the intelligence reports. In 2018, the Navy changed its guidelines concerning the reporting of unknown objects by military personnel, and the surfacing of this photograph seems to indicate that some aviators are coming forward with sighting reports.
  • Woman’s cousin among 30 people rescued in human smuggling operation in Houston
    • https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/12/04/womans-cousin-among-30-people-rescued-in-human-smuggling-operation-in-houston/
    • A family’s two-month-long nightmare is over. A woman says authorities found her cousin stripped down to his underwear, but alive when police busted a possible human smuggling operation.
    • On Thursday night, Houston police said a man escaped from a home and ran nearly naked through a southwest Houston neighborhood, screaming he’d been kidnapped.
    • When investigators arrived, they surrounded the home the man had fled from and eventually forced their way inside. The commotion caused quite a stir, many neighbors watched as 29 men and one woman were led out from the home by law enforcement. Amongst the neighbors, another person was watching intently, more than most, Andrea Baquedano.
    • Baquedano was hoping her cousin, Luis, was among the victims taken from the home. She couldn’t tell for sure because crime scene tape strewn through the neighborhood kept her from getting a good view.
    • According to Baquedano, her family paid $11,000 to get Luis smuggled into the United States. She said during the smuggling process a Mexican gang called Los Zetas abducted him and held him for a $3,000 ransom. She said she wanted proof he was still alive, then the abductors went silent, as weeks turned into months, she began to lose hope. That changed when she heard about the bust and rushed to the scene.
    • “I hope that God saved him, that’s why I came all the way over here,” said Baquedano, who lives in north Harris County.
    • Thursday night, Baquedano left the southwest Houston neighborhood with hope, but also uncertainty … was her cousin among the rescued victims.
    • However, Friday morning she was all smiles.
    • “My cousin called me from Mexico, telling me that he was at the scene yesterday and he was sent back to Mexico,” Baquedano said.
    • The call was a big relief for Baquedano, her cousin is still breathing. She said the experience was traumatic for her cousin and he plans to return to Honduras.
    • “I don’t care about the money, I just care that he’s alive,” Baquedano said.
    • Houston police said the 30 victims were transferred to the custody of Immigration Customs and Enforcement. Three persons of interests have been detained in relation to the possible human smuggling operation.
