1. The Devil’s Advocate

Time Stamp: 9:52

  • Satanists Phase Out
    • I have been reflecting on the purpose of this podcast since its beginning in 2011. 
    • The joy I gain from performing this show is from the live audience. 
    • I have seen trends in the audience in all that time. Discovery, Excitement, Advocacy, then Absence. Periodic returns
    • This cycle is acceptable because it is auto renewing. As viewers move on, more come in. I imagine its the same with Satanistm and the Church of Satan as well. In fact, the Doktor said as much in his newsletters.
    • This is what Grottos dealt with, and the first Magic Circle and regular presentations had much the same. New people are coming in. Old viewers regularly showing up, then eventually moving on.
    • This is the Satanic Cycle. You discover Satanism, Get Excited about it. Discuss it with those of like mind, then move on to apply it in your life.
    • I wouldn’t want it any other way. It is nice to see regular names in the crowd, and it is encouraging when I see old ones that have been absent a long time. 
    • The dynamic of a show is admittedly different than a grotto or the magic circle, but the content is much the same. Satanists talking about Satanism and ideas that are tangential to it. Sometimes we ritualise, sometimes we share our losses or celebrate our sorrows, but ultimately, unlike the Grotto, we are not huddling together. We are individuals apart. Connected by religion, while we are paving our own destinies.
    • There will not be a time for grottos, and arguably, there never should have been one. But there will always be a time for 9sense.
    • Thank you for spending your valuable time with me.

  • Florida averages 3,380+ new COVID-19 cases per day as delta variant surges
    • https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2021/07/09/florida-averages-3400-new-covid-19-cases-per-day-as-delta-variant-surges/
    • As the country is seeing an increase in COVID-19 delta variant cases, Florida is seeing a jump in overall coronavirus cases and a higher positivity rate.
    • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s projected data shows the delta variant now accounts for more than half of all the cases in the U.S. for the week ending on July 3. The delta variant, first identified in India, is considered highly transmissible and has raised concerns that the country will not be able to continue easing COVID-19 restrictions as quickly as planned.
    • The state saw a positivity rate above 5% last week for the first time since May 10 and Orange County reported a positivity rate this week of nearly 6%. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said the data shows “the numbers are not trending in the right direction.”
    • Health officials in Orange County are concerned as the county has 40 confirmed cases of the delta variant, though Dr. Raul Pino, of the Florida Department of Health, says the number could be higher. He, like many other officials, are urging vaccinations to help reduce the spread of the variant and said about 40% of the county’s population remains unvaccinated.
    • “We are going to have a pandemic brewing in unvaccinated people and then we’re going to have about 60% of our population protected,” he said during a weekly update.
    • In an effort to bring vaccinations to people, especially younger populations, the city of Orlando is working through August to bring mobile vaccination sites offering Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson doses to neighborhoods ahead of the school year.
    • Pfizer also announced Thursday it would be seeking U.S. authorization for a third dose of the vaccine, saying another shot within a year could boost immunity and help against the delta variant, according to the Associated Press.
    • Amidst the continued push for vaccinations as overall cases are increasing, the CDC is asking a federal appeals court to put a hold a judge’s ruling that backed Florida’s fight about the cruise industry. The judge ruled the CDC overstepped its legal authority to place restrictions on the cruise industry, but attorneys for the CDC say this would “exacerbate the spread of COVID-19.″
    • The Florida Department of Health reported 23,697 new cases on Friday that occurred during the past week, bringing the state’s overall total to 2,361,360 cases since the virus was first detected on March 1, 2020. That is an average of 3,385 new infections reported per day.
    • Florida reported 32 new virus-related deaths Friday from the past week. The state reported the cumulative death toll as 38,157. However, when the 32 new deaths are added to the cumulative death total from last week’s report, 37,985, the numbers come out to 38,017. The state has not provided any information as to when these deaths occurred.
    • The state stopped reporting the number of non-residents who died in Florida with its new weekly reporting method.
  • India’s most populous state seeks to promote two-child policy
    • https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indias-most-populous-state-seeks-promote-two-child-policy-2021-07-10/
    • India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, has proposed legislation that aims to discourage couples from having more than two children, becoming the second state ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party to make such a proposal.
    • If Uttar Pradesh were a country, its 240 million people would make it the world’s fifth most populous, and population density in the northern state is more than double the national average.
    • Under the state government proposals unveiled on Saturday, couples with more than two children would not be allowed to receive government benefits or subsidies and would be barred from applying for state government jobs.
    • The bill says that because of the state’s “limited ecological and economic resources at hand, it is necessary and urgent that the provision of the basic necessities of human life are accessible to all citizen”.
    • The draft law, which is open for public comments until July, would need to be ratified by state lawmakers.
    • India, which is expected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country by 2027, does not have a national two-child policy.
    • The northeastern state of Assam, which is also ruled by Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, last month announced plans for a similar measure that would withhold government benefits from families with more than two children.
    • Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said the proposal is partly to control the population growth of the state’s Bengali-speaking Muslims who trace their origins to neighbouring Bangladesh.
    • Uttar Pradesh, governed by Hindu hardliner Yogi Adityanath, is also home to a big Muslim population.
    • The state’s draft law includes incentives for two-child couples if one of them opts for voluntary sterilisation, including soft loans for construction or house purchases and rebates on utility bills and property taxes.
