Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome back to another episode of Rise to Liberty.
Today we have a very special show and a very
special guest, the return of William Ramsey. How you doing today,
William doing great? Thanks for having me, Glad to be
with you. Yeah, of course, always a pleasure to have
you on. So just real quick, I don't typically do this,
but content warning for anybody who might be sensitive to
these sorts of topics. This is a continuation of my
Satanic Panic is Real series and we're just gonna go
with it. And there's some pretty dark details regarding this case.
So you know, my audience and your audience are definitely
more than smart enough to decide if it's something that
they can or cannot handle. So viewer discretion is advised.
And that's the last warning you get. So other than that,
we will be discussing the Hosanna Church scandal, which conveniently
is also the I would say, one of the main
inspirations for True Detective Season one. It does kind of
seem like there's a little bit influence from some other
cases maybe, but this is like the big main thing
that kind I guess spawned the whole first season. So
with that, would you like to kind of give like
a I guess, a brief overview of the case of
exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: We're talking about a very well documented criminal case that
took place in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and it came to the
attention of people in two thousand and five, and it
involved a church, so at a surface level, this was
a functioning church, and it was actually involved the pastor's son,
so his name was was the Monica Junior. His dad
was a very successful Protestant preacher who at one point
this church Hosanna, had one thousand perishon ers, so he
had quite the flock of people and started to dwindle
down and the sun wasn't didn't seem to be able
to carry the mantle or the baton of his dad.
And these two people, him and his cohort whose name
I can't remember right now, but they have life sentences,
so they.
Speaker 1: Actually hard Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, they were convicted. There were appeals of their convictions,
their convictions were upheld on appeal, and they have life sentences.
They are in jail, so currently in jail and Louisiana
in the state. So this this case is really fascinating
and it kind of got lost because of like your theme,
which is this is all satanic panic. Can you guys
be worried about this? This case was also interesting for
a wide ride super dark guys, this is so not
safe for work or home or around children. Just to
re emphasize what right Jacob said, like, that's got all
the darkest themes imaginable, and I think they got away
with stuff. Honestly, I think that all the full story
wasn't told. And even the detective, one of the detectives,
it's very fairly well memorialized on really good segment on
Vice for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: The detectives that we just saw a part of it
wild that you know, Vice used to do some pretty
good reporting back in the day. You know, bias a
lot of it, but I mean, there's nothing wrong with
bias if you're upfront about it, in my opinion, and
even the stuff that was incredibly biased from them, it
was just good reporting either way. And unfortunately they just
don't don't provide that sort of real journalism for I
don't want to say underground, but not mainstream, you know,
just the not the mainstream things. Unfortunately, we don't have
a good out, we don't have a good source for
that sort of information anymore since they've just gone downhill.
I actually just rewatched the Vice documentary. It's great. In fact,
I think i'll throw it in the episode description after
the show. It's called The True Detective I Believe or
The Real True Detective, and it's twenty minutes long, gives
a really good overview of the case of you know,
kind of what the case is, and talks to the
lead prosecutor, Don Wall, interviews a couple of other people. Honestly,
I would love to see what they didn't put in,
you know, what they ended up putting on the cutting
room floor. So yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: But there's almost lines from that documentary, which came out
after True Detective, are the same as some of the
lines from The True Detective, which I think right released
in twenty fourteen. So it is interesting like how real
life emulated so called fictional tale. But and like we
were talking the pre show, The True Detective is really
seen as kind of like a watermark or a benchmark
right in American kind of episodic drama, I guess in
ways put like people always go back to it, and
I think they're on the fourth or fifth season now, yeah,
and those themes they overlap with a lot of interesting
things in American culture, so it is and people do
watch them. So yeah, I think they're working on season
five now or season six or some Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they just released the fourth one if I
remember correctly. It's Jody Foster, right right, right, everything. I've
read it every like, I've read a lot of negative reviews.
Speaker 2: It's very indigenous, I mean as a way to brit
and and very female focused, which is a different change.
They've actually kind of stepped out of, like the comfort zone.
I think we were talking in the pre show. I
think that a lot of like white males, like the
first season, right, because it was male focused. It really
was that kind of white male thing. Also kind of
a crime show in and a cult investigative, and then.
Speaker 1: A lot of these other ones.
Speaker 2: There was the black guy Methuselah I forgot his name,
but that was season three, and then season four is
Jody Foster, and there's a lot of like indigenous I
think her her other police officer in there was like
half indigenous half the time or something. So like a
real super diverse higher all caps diversity.
Speaker 1: I thot she good.
Speaker 2: Like I actually enjoyed season four, so right, I enjoyed
watching all of them actually, but I think season one
is really.
Speaker 1: The crown jewel. Yeah, well you actually uh put together
a presentation. I had just watched the interview you did
over with the California crew. Great episode. Definitely go watch it.
But what do you say we jump into this and start,
let's do it.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot to go into. But like
I said, just another one. This is probably one of
the darkest cases.
Speaker 1: Imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done a lot of dark stuff, like West
Memphis is pretty brutal too, but this one, and it's
what's interesting. This isn't a lot of speculation. There's court documents.
There was a two hundred page confession which is not
public to my knowledge, but pieces of it are actually
read in this Vice thing with Tibony I think is
the woman's name, right, But.
Speaker 1: She did a great job on that. Oh yeah, really
it's a shame what's happened to Vice too? It really yeah,
it really, it really really is.
Speaker 2: It was the you're right though, it was the edgy
kind of journalism, journalism that made it, uh, made it sensational.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all the stuff, all the stuff that will
never get picked up by mainstream media. It's all the
stuff people want to know about or whatever. But no,
like it's not polite conversation or whatever. You know, there's
it's all the it's real life, you know, like they
would interview homeless people, or they would interview people with
super interesting jobs. You know, it's so great, but just
you know some.
Speaker 2: Of those things you're out there, like one of a
great great site is a great white underbelly or whatever
that does.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, software underbelt fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's just sitting down literally letting somebody talk.
It is super fascinating. Like these people, whatever their story is,
drug add to sex work or write drug dealers, all
sorts of stuff. People are interesting. So it's it's like
what happens is they get politicized and woke or you
get some kind of mind virus where it's just like
who's promoting, Like just just let the person talk, you know,
they're interested.
Speaker 1: Well, and nowadays it's it's always uh, you know, making
sure that the that the investors are happy, you know,
and then I mean that's that's destroyed video games now,
like nobody's willing to take risks because if you take
a risk then you might end up upsetting the investors
or whatever, you know, and it's it's a joke. So
on that note, before we really dive into this, I
wanted to real quickly highlight something out of, in my opinion,
one of the most important books of current parapolitical research
or just research in general, and that's I have The
Chickenhawk by Simon Dove, absolutely amazing right up there with
Program to Kill and everything Ultimate Evil, that sort of thing.
And I kind of wanted to just read in full
just the first paragraph out of his author's note and
apply it to this conversation and I'm sure other conversations
that we will have in the future. But this is
independent research. This is an advantage in two respects. First,
researchers with institutional accreditation are restricted in their inquiries by taboo,
that is, the fear of losing credibility through expressing unacceptable
ideas or even facts. I or you and myself in
this case are unrestricted in this regard. Secondly, because I
lack credibility, which I love that he put that the
burden of proof falls more heavily upon upon me as
I cannot take certain liberties in reaching conclusions. My book
reflects the reality of this, and in my opinion, having
no credibility is an asset so long as one is
aware of it and strives to demonstrate it through the
substance of what they represent. As a result, almost every
paragraph in this book, or everything that is done on
my channel is going to be footnoted or easily researched.
I will always provide sources to anyone who is interested
with the sources from which it was derived. This is
not to achieve any kind of academic veneer. I am
not an academic and this is not an academic book.
Academics cannot research the subject dealt with here because it
is taboo for them to do so. And I wanted
to highlight that real quick because I actually believe that
what parapolitics or conspiracy, whatever people want to call it,
I believe this actually provides a really important, a really
important aspect to society considering what we seem to be
living through nowadays. This is really looking at the truth
of things, and that's always been my focus has been
the truth. And because I myself don't possess certain certain
credentials or like Simon put it, a academic veneer. It's
actually I'm held to a higher standard. You're held to
a higher standard. We always have to hold the truth
well above what anyone else in the mainstream media would
be held to. And honestly, I think that's why it
makes us better. So amen, on that note, let's switch
over here to to this presentation.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of slides. It's based on the
Vice video, also a few slides from the show itself,
but also just some of the information that's available through
court documents. And where Hosanna is I show it on
the map. It's north of New Orleans, almost directly east
of that.
Speaker 1: Real quick, just for the sake of the audience, what
years are we talking about?
Speaker 2: Well, the events, the events that were where they were
arrested was two thousand and five. What had happened is
there was some kind of internal thing with this group.
It's a network, guys. There was actually a cop who
was part of the network, who worked at the office
that was a resting these guys. You can't believe it.
He was charged with obstruction of justice. So like you think, like, oh, yeah,
these guys are no, this guy's involved in the most
amous stuff and I don't this is almost like a
finder's case. They I'll show it here. They had tons
of electronics filming computers at the time, Like why do
you need one hundred external hard drives unless you're up
to something like give me a break. This is some
kind of uh something, So they were, they were networked.
But two thousand and five is when it happened. There
was there was some kind of internal thing where the
Monica's wife took their kids and went to Chicago, and
two weeks later, Lamonica Junior walked into the police office
the police station to confess, right, and everything was retracted
and the kids testimonies were retracted. But this is the
most interesting aspect to me anyways regarding this case, is
that he walked into the police station unprovoked, just like
what that that's and then he proceeds to confess to uh,
Satanic rituals, child sex crimes, child molestation, animal sacrifices, and
beastiality just to name, you know, a broad spectrum of
subjects involving a lot of people, right, and is in
you know, it's like sex with his own boy kids
and just and all kinds of drawings. So it was
just super graphic and like really dark, very aggressive, and
then using the cover of the church, you know, it's
just so symbolically and you know, just in your face.
It's it's amazing to me. And I always go back
to kind of or not kind of, but I always
go back to satanic crime never happens.
Speaker 1: It's like really really because it does. It's it's everywhere.
Just because you don't look at it doesn't mean that
it doesn't exist. In fact, these are some people I
try to have I try to have understanding. But when
these things exist and you intentionally ignore it, you're part
of the problem.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of these guys are just repeating
what they've been told on TV and they haven't done
any reading or research. So it's a different kind of
media thing where if you talk to somebody who only
drinks from that trough, they're going to have a completely
different worldview. Like even that was the whole thing. A
vice is they were doing something different than TV. Like
the the corporate media is really a pox on the
entire culture of the United States. It didn't used to be.
It happened in one generation. But the people who own
all that are probably all Satanists, right right. I've repeated
this before, but it's from Owen Benjamin. He's supposedly a comedian.
I mean, I think he's a comedian. But he said
something very astute which said that it's the conspirators who
says there's no conspiracy, And I think that's that's because
they're on it. So the people who are doing the Eyes,
White Jet stuff or Epstein Network are people who are
running the media. So they're all trafficking people. And that's
the whole scary thing about this whole story is like, right,
there seemed to be network like the Finders and something.
Speaker 1: Else weird is going on. They didn't. I don't think
they got the whole story.
Speaker 2: No, not much like much like Rust and Coal and
True Detective at the end, you didn't get all of
it what he said, right, And I you know, having
just watched True Detective for my first time, the first
season all the way through that right at the very end,
when it's the scene between both of them as they're
sitting at the hospital and rest makes a very interesting
observation that looking up at the night sky that the
darkness holds more.
Speaker 1: Holds more space. Basically referring to you know, the evilness
in the world is you know, outweighs all the light
or the stars. And I think that that's very, very poetic,
especially considering that that's so true, because it seems like
every time we turn around, something like this is being
exposed or covered up again. You know, there's a recent
case in Ohio with you know, all of those kids
from eighteen to year and a half, no record of
them ever existing because they move all the time. The
mom looked like she was on drugs, and you know,
just all sorts of just terrible things all the time.
So the darkness definitely holds more real estate, so to speak.
I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's really something else. I think the ending,
that kind of the kind of philosophizing is the opposite
of this stark, bleak philosophizing and ros at the beginning.
So it can be easily just there's eight episodes, but
those bookends are very different. Oh yeah, and it's that
process that he becomes the I don't want to I mean,
this is a spoiler.
Speaker 1: For the whole show, but he is the true detective
rest Oh, yes, yes he is for sure. So so yeah,
you were mentioning that it's where the church was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you go to the next I can do
the next slide. Here it is. This is a map.
People can see that Ponchatoula is kind of lightly ringed around,
kind of at the center of the map there, which
is directly but I think it's forty five miles east
of Panton Rouge and on the other side of Lake
ponchar train.
Speaker 1: From New Orleans.
Speaker 2: And the church was destroyed in Katrina and then rebuilt, right,
And so it was actually these cases they were arrested
just before Katrina. It's kind of a weird kind of
cosmic event or something because they were wrest rested in
June two thousand and five and Katrina was I think
November two thousand and five or something like that. And
it's not the same church though it's not named anymore.
It's like Christian Life Church.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there is still a church there. Then it
was basically just repackaged, repainted, rebuilt. Yeah, that's what it
looks like. Yeah, right, which is incredibly interesting. In fact,
when I was looking earlier, I was watching, like I said,
that documentary again, just kind of refreshing myself with the
documentary and what was very interesting there were screenshots of
the search warrant, and I started to notice scene. So
the documents will will show like item number, a description
of the item where it was found, and I started
noticing under the where it was found section it says
building two, like for instance, it says building two, room
forty five. So we're talking a massive place here, I
mean forty five rooms, you know, and that's if that's
all there is, you know. And so just looking at
the list real quick, building two, room forty five, forty three,
forty three, forty three, room eighteen, room thirty, room thirty,
you know, it's like this was a massive place, and
I find it interesting. It was almost according to the
law enforcement, it was almost exclusively a according to them,
pretty much that it took place only in the youth
center of the building. Let's do the youth center right right,
And I honestly just don't believe that it was that
it only took place there. Now knowing that the building,
it seems that there was more than one building, maybe
because it says building too. So I don't know, different
size buildings or different purpose buildings, but at least at
the very least forty five rooms, which is a massive
building unless they're just the tiniest rooms ever, which I
have a hard time believing. So I just wanted to
point that out, is that this is actually a really
large complex basically before it was destroyed. Right, and Patcha
too is not that big. So had it been a
big church like right, I just wonder if I can
find it on the map, I wish you.
Speaker 2: I wonder if I can find the address, because then
you can see the building a big right.
Speaker 1: Well. And what's interesting, so, uh, uh louis Lamonica when
his father was the pastor. All the information I've found, uh,
seems to seems to discuss the fact that they're like
there were thousands of people that attended the church at
it at its height. So I mean, if this place
is large enough to accommodate thousands of people, it's big.
It's big.
Speaker 2: On the map I can bring up and see if
I can bring up the map, see if I can
share the screen. This is it now? I guess it
was an assembly of God.
Speaker 1: Can you see that? Can you bring that map up? Yeah?
Oh wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's the three buildings like you said, one, two, three.
See what it looks like from the front. That's that's it. Yep,
that's it. They redid it. That's that whole glass now
is there? It wasn't there where signs taken down. But
that's definitely a twenty five to seventy one veterans avenue, right,
So they're interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's huge mission International communities and it's just like
a pretty big complex, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they were there in two thousand and five,
there was imagine only fifteen people and they were living
there too.
Speaker 1: Right, we can get a side shot. What what year did Katrina.
Speaker 2: There's the buildings right there, so one, two, three, Oh wow, Yeah,
I'm pretty sure Katrina was late two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: Oh man. And there's you know, I've been reading more
and more stories that there's a rabbit hole. I actually
have fallen down a couple of times where there were
what we know is serial killers that decided to be
quite active after Katrina because of the sheer lawlessness that
was rampant all over the place. So as regarding you know,
the the black market for human trafficking, child trafficking, I'm
sure it was just business was hot, I'm sure, which
is just happening in Venezuela.
Speaker 2: After those two big earthquakes, right right, there's allegations of
people like NGO's like what happened in eight Like oh,
people are showing up behind kids, like this is the
new trend. Like so it happens after every There are
freaking vultures who pop in after these huge events and
people disappear.
Speaker 1: Right, that's unbelievable stuff. Yeah, it's it really is so yeah.
Like I said that the thing that shocks me, Lamonica
came in unprovoked, starts confessing to all of these things,
claimed that the crimes were committed in a youth room.
The windows were blackened out, and let's see, just reading
through my notes real quick. One thing I also thought
was interesting was that the Church at the time, I'm
not sure what its affiliation is now, but at the
time was connected to the Protestants, which anyone who's you know,
done some of this work or even just looked into
the Protestants at all. There's a lot of connections to
the CIA all the way through, especially through the eighties.
Regarding Satanic panic. There were tons of these mega churches
who were pushing Satanic panic propaganda all the way through
the eighties and early nineties. And they so happened to
be either be funded by or ran by agents. It's
just interesting and.
Speaker 2: I think there's more work to be done on louis
Lamonica's dad, Like what's his dad like? If he's able
to put together a thousand person church, he's probably a
big wig for sure. And Ponta too, but it maybe
even in Louisiana, and it gets weird like Louisiana history,
Like if people watch that show, there's the Tuttle. Tuttle
is the kind of pastor who has has the dark
VHS videotape right right. And then he's also Tuttle's brother
is involved in politics as well, and so that I
think emulates something that happened in Louisiana. There's a Landry family.
It's almost like the Bush family of Texas, but the
Landry family is like all involved in business and politics
or was for a long time in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: They were kind of like the power fan only there.
I mean kind of funny too, because it seems like
there's either a small handful or at at the very
least one. Uh. You know, the United States doesn't have royalty,
but it seems as though we actually do in secret.
And it seems like every state or uh, you know,
region has these families. You know, I'm from Utah and
we clearly have LTS. Royalty.
Speaker 2: Romney's are all over the place, right exactly. There was
like a machine in Chicago with the I can't remember
the family there, but.
Speaker 1: They're there. They're here.
Speaker 2: It's the Gettys in California, right, I mean basically Newsome
is a Getdy right by default. I mean he's in
business with one of the Getty's sons.
Speaker 1: He's probably in office because he's not very bright.
Speaker 2: He's not really a self made man at all, right,
it seems very low. His dad was a lawyer in
San Francisco and he went to all the right schools.
So he got into Saint Ignacious as a it's a
what do you call it Jesuit school in San Francis,
and it's known as like that's your entry into society.
Like maybe on the East Coast, you go to the
Ivy League school and you network and that's how you
get you know, San Francisco. You go from San Ignacious
to the Olympic Club and then you're kind of in
kind of San Francisco's Yeah, so once again it's it's
the uh, the fraternities and sororities that are really pulling
these people in which I don't know about you. I've
never understood the fraternity thing. You know, maybe it's just me.
I I don't get it, you know, like that was
the old way to enter it, that was the old
way to write network and get ahead was to join
these fraternities, especially I mean the fraternity is I think
have become turned into more animal houses, but they didn't
know what it used to be.
Speaker 1: And it is a secret society. Guys.
Speaker 2: They have Masonic codes and terms and words and secret
initiations and candles and burning stuff. They used to at least,
so that stuff is really real, Like oh yeah, it's
like the same kind of stuff that happens in skull
and bones, like your brothers. That's what you call them,
a fraternity brother.
Speaker 1: That's the whole idea, right yeah, And it's I don't know.
I mean, I understand, you know, the purpose of networking.
I love networking, but I don't know just the whole
structure in the idea of the fraternity just is really
really interesting. In the chat, Tim Tim West, you don't
want to get jerked off in a coffin, Jacob, No,
not really, you know, especially you know, with a bunch
of other members, you know watching.
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting, but people don't think that's real.
The Getty Son was known to sleep in a coffin
and he was the benefactor of kenneth Anger. Kenneth Anger
said that he didn't have to pay for international flights.
He would just call Getty Junior and he would pay
for him to fly to your you know, to England.
We just cover the expenses and stuff. So these are
these high level people oftentimes are occultists and Satanists. And
I think that's kind of like what the secret is
behind I mean, that's involved in the narrative true detective,
is that these are wealthy people whose surface lives are
really superficial. They're just facades right.
Speaker 1: Well, And now I find it interesting because, like like
I had mentioned it, it's always a satanic crime, never happens.
But then when these cases like this, you know, eventually
squeak out because they're going to uh, they can't hide them,
hide all of them all the time, they have this
narrative that oh, this is just isolated, this is it.
It's it's not a ring. It's it's not a larger
network or anything. That's what they did.
Speaker 2: That's what they did for Epstein. Right Stein was a
lone pedo.
Speaker 1: He it was just his sick collection. Ye but no,
he is fully networked.
Speaker 2: And they all knew it, right, and they're all lying
because they all so many people got involved in that.
Speaker 1: He blackmailed it through his own actions. Well, and to me,
it seems like you know Manson in a sense, like
everyone now pretends to not know him, but back then
everyone knew him. They knew what he was doing and
what he was up to. They they want to pretend like, oh,
it's like we did, we didn't know who he was.
Yes you did, Yes you did. You don't get to
just start hanging out with Brian Wilson because you're a
nobody and nobody knows you. You know. It's like it's
just interesting, you know, to try and hide that network
and you can see this all over the place. This
is this isn't unique to any one case or any
any one story. So I just find it very interesting.
So you want to kind of get into like exactly
what what is this case? What what did investigators end
up finding? Well, after this two hundred page confession. They
found some of the darkest stuff imaginable. This guy was
confessed to like all kinds of the darkest things matter.
You enumerated them early, and it's and it started. He
was arrested immediately. I don't think he ever got out
of jail. He was arrested, try convicted, and then they
brought in other people around and there was a roundup.
There are other people invested. And this is a really
good article that's still on the internet. I think you
can check it out. And it's from it was from
twenty fourteen, after True Detective came out. But it goes
into this very They all had nickname so it's almost
like a like a criminal gang. You know, that's what
criminal gangs do. They never use their first names or this.
You know, it's always Bobby or Joey or Fat Joe
or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's how that's Yeah, it's a mop thing. It's like
to keep the cops off, Like you don't say, my
name is John Smith Junior and this is my social
Security number. So it's all sketchy stuff. But this is
also like, oh, it's a sick pedophile ring. They even
say it on this article. The title is this is
a daily mail. But this is so he walked in
on the sixteenth of May two thousand and five and
still was called pastor. But Satanic Ritchel's child abuse and
human by animal sacrifice, that's what he admitted to. Who
knows if, like they need to see if like other
crimes are committed around this time, right, But these are
the guys. So there's La Monica. That's his wife who
left like two weeks early, went to Chicago. That's Austin
Trey Bernardo who also as a life sentence. He was
known as the Mastermind and stuff really dark stuff happened
with him and his one year old daughter crazy.
Speaker 1: And then there's his wife.
Speaker 2: She had called the sheriff to spill the beans on
the cult just two days before Lomnica made his confession.
So something something was going on, like it was falling
apart internally, I think, right, And these are all like
the guys here, I mean, you can just go through
this like confession mail online saw it. Lamonica sat down
and announced, I want to talk about the dedication to
Satan of a baby. I was held at the church
upstairs and what was called the youth room it's covered
in black like black paper to keep it dark. There
was a pentagram book of spells and temptations. And if
this happened so often in these crimes, because the cops
are really focused on the criminal acts, not the kind
of ideology that was going on, they never follow up
on what books they had or who they were inspired by,
or if there was a larger like satanic group who
inspired them or were around, right, because like even in
the West Memphis three, they were not like just three
guys alone.
Speaker 1: They were network.
Speaker 2: There were groups of people and there were lists by
the cops of other people that the West Memphis three
were hanging out. They literally had a guy who was
some kind of overlord they called Lucifer another nickname, and
that guy was never identified, so like they could have
unraveled like a huge criminal network. So this is it,
But then here it is all different ages then thirty six,
forty five, Paul Fontino. These names are are repeated. This
is how you know Hosanna influenced True Detective, because these
names are repeated in True Detective. He literally piss a
lot of literally lifted the same last names from Hosanna
into True Detective. Fontineau was one of them, and I
think Loot was one too that they lifted in there.
You just put it in there.
Speaker 1: I think Fontana was one of the darker ones, right,
And and so they they literally did find a satanic
ritual abuse ring, right, traumatizing stuff had to be. They
actually dug up the back of the church. They didn't
found anything, find anything, but they were looking for evidence.
You can see some pictures I think they're in that
documentary by Vice, where they literally had heavy machinery like
digging up the back looking for something. They found it, right, Yeah,
And there was an interesting point in that docum mentory
when they they meaning the FBI in fact, it was
let me be sure to write this down. Tom Tedder,
special agent FBI Baton Rouge Office, Special Agent Tedder mentioned
the fact that they never found any evidence of Satanic rituals,
and it's like, really, then where did all that come from?
You know, like that that doesn't just hit the news
because you know, if there's actually not anything satanic about
these things, then that actually never gets brought up, right,
like we have the Charlie Kirk stuff going on right now.
There's no satanic you know, involvement in this case, at
least that we know of, and so there's no news
being reported on that. But then you have a case
like this where it's all over the place, it's reported
almost in everything reported on it. And then to say
that there's no like satanic anything about it just it's odd.
It's odd to me. It is odd. It's very odd.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's I think that there's like you're up
against this whole kind of culture and ideology that satanic
influenced crimes don't exist.
Speaker 1: And it goes back to Landing.
Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of people who are involved in
not and it goes back to McMartin and the witch
hunt narrative and all this other stuff. So you have
satanic panic and witch hunt are like almost the coral
areas because oh yeah, this is a witch hunt. Well
what if you're a witch?
Speaker 1: They've had that hold on, Oh you're fine anyway, So
they have like this whole thing.
Speaker 2: And then and then the the effect on people is
to if you're investigating these they immediately put you into
a lunatic box. This it's ordered, and then then they
rely on experts. So there's a whole like almost a
list of these things have been through. I've seen them all.
There's the reliance on Ken Lanning says there's no satanic
it's just pedophile covered right, So that's it. And then
you're crazy and there's no evidence and there's no such
thing as a satanic influence crime. And then it goes
back to what I said about about Ohen Benjamin were
conspired's who said there's no conspiracy conspiracy, and then you realize, like,
wha these people are, like I forgot what the guy's
name is. The FBI agent investigated mc martin said that
next to a KENO Crowley in the they Ken Lanning
was one of the most evil people ever because he perpetuated.
Speaker 1: This stuff right right, I mean it makes total sense.
Speaker 2: But this is like really dark, Like there's like this
is a story like when you like, I've read so
much about satanic kind of cool crimes. There are multiple
stories from different people where people will shape shift. There's
literal like stories of shape shifting and literally Lewis Lamonica
Junior said he would shape shift, right, It's really incredible.
And there's somebody in one of the victims of Epstein
said Epstein shape shifted which is really dark and he's
super he's an occultist and he's super dark and a cannibal.
Speaker 1: So I do believe that I could prove in a
court of law that Epstein was eating people eating, right,
And yeah, I made sure to write this down. He
the Lomonica claimed demonic possession and that his face would distort, which.
Speaker 2: It's right here, he says it right here, like right,
it's right in this article, like according to meeting certain
girls we picked to have SEXU relationship. Guys would line
up one by one they have sex with his codes
group sex there was men and women. There were feces
around and urine. These are all consistent satanic rituals. Who
become distorted by the devil and that demons would change
him into an animal, a snake, a fox, wolf, spiders,
And this is all very consistent with like the masks
of the animal mask and rituals and these things. Is
because they're emulating some of the stuff that may happen
in these demonic rituals.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, absolutely, And I found it interesting as well
that so I was going to look into this a
little bit more. But not only were they specifically sacrificing cats,
and I believe other animals, but cats were the big thing,
which largely had to do with you know, blood magic,
the blood rituals. But they specifically mentioned in the documents foxes,
fox hair snakes, and specifically I thought this was odd.
Wolf spiders. Now, I think the wolf thing is very
interesting because in fairy tales that the wolf is always
you know, antagonizing, especially the antagonizing and hunting the children.
Almost in every fairy tale, you know, it's it's always
the wolves, and so a wolf spider I just thought
that was kind of in a very specific thing, you know,
that was very very odd.
Speaker 2: It shows that they're detailed, right, these are not casual practitioners.
They've got like in this New Orleans is an epicenter
for the occult voodoo. There's literally voodoo shops where you
can get all these implements, and it sounds to me
that these guys were connected with that, those that kind
of underground if you remember, like a really scary movie,
Angel Heart takes place there too, and these, yes, so
they're kind of reminiscent of that as well. So there's
a huge African American population there. I think that's seventy
percent of New Orleans is African American with a lot
of voodoo and all kinds of different stuff going on there. Right,
so I think that they're I think that some of
that stuff like seeped into what these guys are doing.
They seem to have knowledge of it. This article goes
on to say they all had these nicknames, the Lady,
the Mastermind, and the Chief. He said, the secret Seri
Monica said. The ceremony started in nineteen ninety nine. He
was arrested in two thousand and five, so that's six
years carried on. When they separated, he moved out of
the church building Bernard's. It was Bernard's wife who took
the kid and went to Ohio. Right, they were calling stuff,
So I think they knew the heat was on, or
he knew.
Speaker 1: So, just to address this comment real quick, neither of
us are conflating the two.
Speaker 2: So, but it's a form of occultism, guys. Sorry, it
is occultism. Yeah, it may not be Satanism per se,
but it's a cultism. Sorry, right, yeah, one hundred per
one hundred percent. But yeah, as a former Satanist myself, yeah,
obviously voodoo has nothing to do with Satanism. Nor does
Satanism have anything to do with voodoo. So but yeah,
so there's a cop involved, bond of trust revocably broken,
there's a reclue including not just a man of the cloth,
but a man of the law too. Right, it made
sense that chef he was a sheriff's deputy, chrysal the
bots in action, right, they went to that detail gets
glossed over. Yeah, sure, does you know it does like
he does not do anything because he's in on it, baby, right,
right exactly.
Speaker 1: Also, Uh, we were not saying that Hosanna was voodoo adjacent.
I will latantly say that it was satanic, though they
said it was satanic.
Speaker 2: Said they were trying to contact the double What I'm saying,
I mean, I don't know. Some people are deliberately miscontrue
miscons true words for whatever. Oh of course, Like I'm
saying that there this happened in an involvement where people
go to New Orleans because it's like an esoteric center.
You can get tarot readings. You know, there's shops all over,
like uh Orleans down down in the French Quarter. I mean,
it's the the mixture of New Age occultism. I mean,
I I think I just repeated myself. You know, new
age and occult is like the same thing. But you
know it is a broad fit phrase. You can you
can substitute esotericism is fine, That's right.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't know, it's it's very interesting.
But the fact that this this happened down here, and
honestly I had never really heard about this case other
than in passing sort of.
Speaker 2: It's not covered by almost anybody. I don't think anybody
else ever covered this case in the in the traditional
vice of course, but in the traditional media or even
in the alternate podcast.
Speaker 1: Media, people don't know about it.
Speaker 2: And it's so important because how important true detective is
right as as a kind of, like I said, a watermarker,
like an eye watermark of the kind of new episodic
shows and culture that aren't films, not necessarily TV shows,
but you know now like on Netflix, they're just almost
everything is like three episodes or six episodes or whatever.
But this is interesting, this this mail online really like
you said. They point this out when Bernard shared a
notebook which he wrote of the abuse, Brown took the
writing and described his stomach turning to Labot and was
left wondering why nothing came of it, So there's an
obstruction of justice charge.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It did not occur to him that the gun toting
law man I'm seen right here on the bottom right
was himself one of the group, which Bernard later referred
to as perverted musketeers, one for all and all for one.
Strange jeez. And he I don't know why this guy
had all the charges dropped. So he's walking free. It
sounds like they'd not had the goods of right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there there actually were several people that got very
very light sentences from what I understand, and there were
a few people that definitely never ended up spending any
time or that they got a light sentence such as
like probation for some of this.
Speaker 2: So one by one interrogated. So this is a big
police and volment. I think the guy on the Vice
videos said he walked in, talked to Lemonica, and was
busy for three months. So it wasn't like they just
opened and shut the case or like, oh we just
did one week and they had a whole Yeah, and
you can see in the video, which was I think
from twenty fourteen, that they had a whole trailer of evidence.
Speaker 1: They had this huge amount of evidence.
Speaker 2: That's sitting there, right, and it's it's it's independent, but
it's like a whole like semi like a semi truck trailer.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. It even included drywall, you know which, And
that's what they said, is that there was some kind
of writing you could only see with black black light, yeah,
which blew my mind. This is very intentional. This is
also somebody who knows exactly what they're doing, and it
reflects what was in the true detective. Right, there's riding
on the walls and scribbling on the walls, right right.
Damien Nichols is in New Orleans. I think he's centered
in New Orleans right now. He went from and got
kicked out of Salem, right, Yeah, he went from there
to Salem to New York to New Orleans. Who he's
in New Orleans And there is that Oh their name
is escaping me that the trans process member Peorge.
Speaker 2: Do you know when the Processed Church moved from England
to the north of Mexico to New Orleans?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: They were headquartered in New Orleans during the early sixties.
There's actually weird overlaps between them and some of these
characters from the JFK assassination. Because one of these guys,
I think his name was Bouemler. He was associated with
Banister and Baumbler incorporated the Processed Church in New Orleans
as a business.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 2: Of course, so people who say that New Orleans is
just it's a border town with a lot of like
almost like a wild West under around to it's super
lawless too. It's so dangerous.
Speaker 1: When I was there, I was like, wow, thank youous, Genesis,
thank you. Yes. Yeah, there's pictures of them together. There's
video I think they did like a short film or
something while they were down there together. Is incredibly odd.
Speaker 2: One more thing just to just to break in Jenda
Ti Genesis porge to Jeffrey Epstein through a guy named
joy Edo. Yeah, Joey Edo was one of Genesis's friends.
He used to stay with Genesis would stay with him,
and George is like one of the real first trans activists.
And he wasn't just an activist. He believed that the
trans movement would be like the avant garde of Satan's
like army, like these trans people would be that. It's
very He's a very important figure in the trans movement
that nobody even really mentions or brings up. And I
write about him in my book Children.
Speaker 1: He's just googled that thing. Eh yeah, yeah. So anyway,
so this case is incredible. It's just something nice. While
this is kind of the topic, there's one detail of
the West Memphis three that just keeps sticking out to me,
and it gets glossed over so much, and it's the
detail of when Damien basically knew he was up shit
Creek without a paddle, and he told the investigators that
he would tell them the truth of everything if he
could speak to his mother, and she comes in, they speak,
and then he clams up. In your opinion, like, do
you think this is related to some of the larger
like occult activities? Now? The reason I ask is because
there were always occult activities there in the area. Of course,
there's also major occult activities across the river over in
Memphis itself. But she was admittedly, it's proven that she
was the one that was always getting him these occult books,
taking him to go to the library and encouraging this
sort of stuff, And it just kind of seems weird
that she's involved. When you really start looking at it.
She sure seems to be.
Speaker 2: I mean even that same year when they were arrested
in nineteen ninety three, you can see this in the
court documents and probably on the way Back machine. She
was over at the river's edge at a bonfire and
somebody got shot and died, like literally one of her roommates.
And so they were out in late at night, strange,
and I don't think they were ever charged, but there
was elements of like somebody hid the gun, if I
remember correctly.
Speaker 1: So I do think that Eckles.
Speaker 2: Grew up in an environment that was the mom never worked,
you know, she was of both of those two parents.
Both Baldwin and Eccles were very strange trailer park people
like Baldwin's mom would just disappear for three or four days.
So the Baldwin was just like a street kid, and
so Echles in that same way, like there wasn't a strong.
Speaker 1: Literal laughter kids. Yeah, so it makes so much sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she had to have known there were He
was a reader and there, like you said, there's stuff
in the court, like my mom would take me to
bookstores to find books, like to find books for him.
So she was facilitating certain things, and she seemed to
make apologies for him him right. And I'm doing a
show tomorrow with Roberto Class. We're going to cover just
Exhibit five hundred, which tells a lot of the stories
about him, everything that happened leading up to May fifth,
nineteen ninety three. And I mean, it's just fascinating because
he was just on Drew Pinski. He's like a nationwide figure, like,
and apparently he's taking a break. I don't know what's
going on with him, but it is weird that it
kind of overlaps with this and the fact that he
moved to New Orleans, right, And there's actually videos of
echos like traveling around New Orleans talking about the occult spots.
So jeez, it's like, God, it's so strange how this
kind of all this stuff is like in this environment,
exists in the psychosphere or whatever.
Speaker 1: Well, and what's interesting is, you know this occult underground
network that the communities there's so there, there's way more
people than you think or using you know, the broader everyone,
but in actuality it's not all that big. You know,
like there is a lot of people, right, but the
movers and the shakers, there's not a lot of people.
It's a pretty close knit, tight circle. It's almost like
you know, the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, almost like
everyone within occult circles, people that take it seriously, people
that you know, attend rituals or whatever. You're only two
to three people away from almost anyone you know. And
there's there's people that you may never meet or may
never even hear of, but you're still only two to
three people away.
Speaker 2: I think that's the same way in like the Christian
community too, Like people kind of know each other and stuff, right,
But so or whatever, I may be, whatever sect you're
involved in if you're Baptists, right of no other main
mainline people in that whatever that sect of Christianity. So right,
But yeah, I think that the mother was Just to
answer your earlier question, I think the mother was involved
in that stuff too, and that's why he was. There
was actually a drawing of eCos that I have somewhere
or like he was a kid and like in fifth
grade somebody wrote on their Satanist right, so they knew
from an early age.
Speaker 1: He was doing. Yeah, he was. I think he just
grew up in that kind of family. I think, well,
right in my opinion, same, same. It just makes sense
to me that what her name is escaping me for
a moment that the woman that was introduced to Damien
through Jesse, she was she She gave testimony during the
trial and ended up later recanting it a few years later.
I can't remember, but can say that again, I'm looking
at what there was a woman that was asked the
prosecution to go and like try and get something out
of Damien. It just seemed like it was the hauling
Worth holling Worth person and her kid too, or yes,
it just seemed like she was so comfortable with doing that.
And then everyone kept talking about Damien being a Satanist
or an occultist and how everyone was terrified of him,
like everyone knew that he was not a person to
mess with. And I have a hard time believing that
it was simply just because he was unpredictable, you know.
But I do believe that there was definitely some sort
of larger network or you know, cult for lack of
a better term, that was active in the area. I'm
sure there still is.
Speaker 2: There's no question about it. It's provable, like they would
go to a Stonehenge. If you look at miss Kelly's
like first confession among six or seven, I can't count
an some of them are recorded. They always conveniently leave
these out. But he's talking about sacrificing dogs much like
Halosana eating them bonfires, you know, a place of ruin
Stonehenge was an old cotton gin. And then they're like,
actually it's on the cover of my book or actually
some of the spray paintings from stone Edge. That's why
I used them because it was like a pin right,
So this is and there's a list of a potential network.
So the cops were investigating, they took there's a lot
of statement that the police statements are incredible in the
West Memphis three case, which is why I put him
in abomination because even this guy like it's making these
statements like, oh yeah, it's a network. Everybody did this
and this I was busted for pedophilia too, and and
his name was I can't remember the statement right now,
but he's like, oh yeah, Lucifer, and we were all
doing this. We all knew. And then even at Opperman,
like he interviewed somebody about Eccle's girlfriend at the time,
Dominie Tear, and her family, like were witches or something
like that in California.
Speaker 1: And then one of them said, oh, yeah, we drink blood.
Mom drinks blood. I drink blood. You drink blood.
Speaker 2: Like who made that statement? Unless you're comfortable with that stuff.
So Eccles is Echles's girlfriends family's into that stuff too,
So talk about a small community. That's probably why they're together.
I don't even know if Domini's a real name. One
of the interesting things, like one of the key elements
of the whole court case was another there were like
multiple cousins and stuff, so it was the whole haullings
Worth family saw Echos with many tear near the scene
of the crime on the night of the murders, and
they testified it, even the kids did. But one of
the interesting things about the woman is like she saw
Dominie tear grow up, Like she literally held Dominie tier
when she was in swaddling cloths like a child, So
I would believe that she would be able to see
her as a sixteen seventeen year old, which also would
explain why the girlfriend before Dominie was terrified that the
one that Damien ran away with that when he started
talking to her about wanting to get her pregnant in
order to sacrifice the child, and that girlfriend freaked out,
whereas in Dominie had also mentioned the same thing, that
she was going to get pregnant in order to sacrifice
the child, and she was okay with it. You know,
like that boy who's still alive their offspring, Dominie Tier
and Echoes kid who's like I think in Arizona, and
they have arrest records for him. He's lucky to be alive.
Maybe in my opinion, right the other woman in Eccle's book.
I know we're kind off topic, but in Eccle's book
Life After Death, he admits that that girl's parents, once
they like separated his parents, her parents put her in
some kind of like home to like decultize her or whatever.
D programmer.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: I do know her name, somebody in the chat may
know it. But Deanna Hoolecomb I think was her name.
Speaker 1: Is that one of them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's Deanna Holcomb. But like her parents
put her into some kind of special housing to like
get her.
Speaker 1: Away from all that stuff. So it's pretty wild. So
I do agree, it's kind of not like directly related,
but I do think it does pertain to all of
this because once again, these are networks, and these networks
are all connected at a certain point. I mean they
they kind of have to be, otherwise they're not going
to sustain themselves. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We did that show on the Satanic pattern with Austin, right,
and Austin and I did a show where we're like,
these are all these pedo groups from the eighties and
nineties were all networked. Yes, they literally had overlapping people
with a Kino and the and Gacy and Atlanta child murderers, right,
and I mean moving around.
Speaker 1: I think that is the largest misconce misconception regarding uh
this underground, this criminal underground, uh this this black market,
is that these are although they might be independent cults,
they might be independent groups or whatever, it's all one group. Really.
When you zoom out far enough, this this cult in
that the Hosanna Church stuff is tied to Epstein somehow,
you know, it's tied to the West Memphis three it.
When you zoom out far enough, eventually the octopus reveals itself, right,
because these people, these criminals hang out with other criminals,
you know, like they're they're not going to uh not
hang out with these people, and you you can kind
of piece that together with you know, certain testimonies that
have been given over the years. There's a oh, his
name is escaping me. I should have brought this up
ahead of time, But there's a a former Satanists that
does interviews every now and then. He's actually somebody in
the chat might know. He's a he's a blind man.
I can't remember his name, but he's kind of like
an Illuminati whistleblower. And he talks about in his younger
years where he kind of jumped from coven to coven,
tolt to cult because they were all kind of connected,
Like he was graduating to more serious and more serious
cults as he got older, and it started with him basically,
this one family unit was like the lowest level coven
of all of these magic practicing Satanists. And then they
introduced him to another cult which was ran by somebody,
and then he joined that group, and then he graduated
to a next one that was an even bigger organization.
And this is just the ultimate structure of these It's
just like anything else in life. It's just what they
handle is not normal, you know, It's this is just
like because in my opinion, the the hierarchical structure of
like politics, or society or or anything is like the
natural order of things. It's fairly natural for things like
this to be structured in such a way. It's just
what sort of group are you? Is? You know, whether
it's going to be good or not. But that the
organization itself, that the structure of the pyramid structure is,
it exists. It's the natural order of things, and even
if people try not to, it will eventually end up
being organized this way because of well, it's just how
things are, you know, so, and.
Speaker 2: That's the common perception. It goes back to this kind
of stove piping where people's perceptions are deliberately narrowed into
a smaller worldview. When if you read enough of Crawley,
I have like he's connected to everything, and he encouraged
all the occultists to join every other occult order. So
like Croby himself said, like he had enough for gallia
and signs and things to cover an elephant. And so oftentimes,
like the cops, they're just not interested in seeing these
larger networks echoes to me his network, by his own admission,
he used to cross over the bridge into uh into
Memphis and meet some guy, some older guy, like some
middle aged guy. Like it's kind of unusual if you're
a teen to go meet some middle aged people and
you know they're like William clem blyh is this the memory?
That's the statement of the guy who talks about Lucifer
Alvis clem Bly like a real Southern name, right that
if you can just type in Alvis clem Bly and
read that yourself, people, it shows that there's something else
going on. It's not a matter for a criminal court
to to bring up, but it's well, it has a
very true detective vibe because this guy was like busted
pedophilia and he was a real Southerner, not real, you know,
not the brightest pool, so to speak, but like that
that's kind of the rarity of West Memphis.
Speaker 1: Is like Echoes himself.
Speaker 2: Is kind of a bright guy actually growing up in
a place of Lara, kind of lower middle class, working
class hero type people, right, and so kind of to
bring it back full circle and back to Hosanna, I
think the thing that scares me the most about this
case specifically is that almost everyone involved looks so normal. Yeah,
I mean you know with Damien, Damien wears it on
his sleeve, you know, like it's clear he's an occultist.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no hiding it. But these people, especially Spare,
especially U lu Monica, and you can just go back
and see his picture. Yeah, it looks like a high
school football coach or right. And like if it wasn't
for this, you wouldn't have been able to pick these
people out of crowd. You know, they're they're just they're
so normal, and it's almost just like any anybody else
that are involved in these sorts of in these sorts
of crimes, it's just they're so normal. You know, life
has a funny way of hiding the bad people because
they don't have a big twirly mustache and you know,
wear a cape and a top hat. So I do
find it interesting, though, is that with this case. I
mean it's blatant what was being done. It's blatant the
way in which this is talked about and everything and
all the coverage, and yet for some reason, even like
I said that the FBI agent said that there was
no Satanic connection, It's like.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing happened with the West Memphis. It's
satanic panic stuff we've talked about. People can go check
our old show. It's just like the evidence says something different.
I mean this whole thing, right, like feces and urine
and animals and shape shifting like come on, right, So
I I find it interesting that Nick how do you
pronounce his last name? Yeah, hinted that the case was
inspired by HBO's massive hit True Detective, in which detectives.
Speaker 1: Marty Hart and Rust Cole play Wood, he Else, and
Matthew McConaughey uncover a string of ritualistic satanic murders committed
under the cover of a powerful evangelical establishment in South Louisiana.
Let's see, there's something in here that was important to
read that I was going to bring up. Let's see,
Major Carpenter sixty two recalled Lamonica walked into my office
and sat down just as calm as you and me talking. Now.
I was detective supervisor at the time when he came in.
He basically thought that after he told us what he did,
he was just going to go on about his business
of the day, listening to him. Let's see, listening to
him here here were we're all Christian. It kind of
floored me. You're talking about a man who profess, who
professes to be a preacher, a pastor, and a leader,
abusing children and worshiping Satan. I'm an old guy. I'm
coming up to retire in a couple of years. I
thought I had seen it all, and sometimes I reckon,
you have seen it all, only in different ways. Then
something like this happens and stays with you. In his
confession seen by online mail, Lamonica sat down and announced, quote,
I want to talk about the dedication to Satan of
a baby. It was held at the church upstairs, in
what was called the youth room. He went on to
describe a room where all the windows were covered in black,
like black paper, keep it dark. There was a pentagram
in the middle of the floor, he said, in a
book of spells and temptations. On this occasion, he claimed
there were five others present, Austin Tray Bernard the third
then thirty six, Lamonica's wife, Robin forty five, church member
Paul Fants not I believe twenty one, sheriff's deputy Chris
Leabat twenty four, and Patricia Trish Pearson fifty six, all
but Lea bat later pleaded guilty to charges ranging from
aggravated rape to sexual battery to obstruction of justice. Lea
Bat was charged with child pornography, but subsequently the charges
were dismissed, which is wild. Get out of here with that.
I mean, it's wild to me people will still look
at this and just deny that anything ever happened. And
there were people from my understanding from what little research
I have done, which is you know, slowly changing as
I'm focusing on this case more and more, but it
there were actually more arrests that were supposed to happen
and they didn't end up happening. There were In the
show you did with the California crew mentioned something about
there were other names that were brought up by the victims,
by the survivors, and they were never identified, at least
as far as we know, right.
Speaker 2: Right right, they only got the two guys for life sentences.
I don't know how the other people they were charged.
I guess they played guilty, So I don't know how
if their sentences were carried out or what's going on.
Speaker 1: So like, it's been twenty years, two years. Have you
ever looked and you know, seen who's still in well
obviously the people that are charged with life. You're still
good and all. Yeah, Austin, that's right, Austin Bernard. Other
than that, have you seen anything about where anyone else
is I have not.
Speaker 2: I haven't looked into it. I mean, I'm sure I
could track them down right just doing that doing the legwork.
Do you know anything about any of the any of
the victims, because it seems pretty quiet.
Speaker 1: I mean, even even Lamonica's boys ended up recanting their
statements a few years after the fact. No, I don't,
I don't. I think most of those people just fled away,
and you know, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm interested. Nobody seemed to want to come forward. I mean, Epstein,
there's so many victims and so many testimonies now, but
this one, they they don't seem to really want to
keep the story alive.
Speaker 1: That seems like so it says here La Monica stated
quote they would start off like a church service, but
it was satanic music. I'm not sure what they mean
by that. I have a hard time believing though, that
it would be like death metal or something. It was
probably like classical music or something. There were candles burning,
dark red candle holders and the dedication of a baby
into Satan, and the dedication of a baby into Satan
with this pentagram. She was put in the middle in
a black dress. He described chanting around the child, Trey
Bernard's daughter, who Trey Austin. Trey Bernard admitted to inappropriately
having relations with his daughter. She was barely one year
old at the time. And when they dedicated Bernard's daughter,
they were all standing in a circle, girls in the
middle of the pentagram, candles burning, everyone chanting. They killed
a cat, drained its blood in order for everyone to partake,
and the blood drinking, and apparently they poured the remaining
blood all over the child. Which now this is just
what's been reported. So whatever was never reported, I can
only imagine is so much worse, is so much worse
than what we know.
Speaker 2: Usually what happens is these are kind of predicate acts
leading up to the worst of all acts a human
set as there's some kind of humans. So when you
see all I mean, I've studied this for so long,
when you see all these other things, that's what's next.
That's what happened with the West Memphis three. They escalated
all the way up that ladder in the end, was
what happened, in my opinion, what happened on May fifth,
nineteen ninety three. And so what else is going on here?
I think there's a lot of questions to be asked.
I don't know if these guys may have told the
whole story, much like the cops said in the in
the Vice documentary, right, you know, I automatically just start wondering,
you know, was was this also a child porn production ring?
Speaker 1: You know? Were they producing snuff films? You know, trafficking? Yeah,
the trafficking.
Speaker 2: And they're bringing a bunch of kids around this youth
center and people are coming and going, and there's a
huge parking lot.
Speaker 1: Right, what else?
Speaker 2: How they how there's no evidence of how they made money?
I mean, there was a cop, but these guys that
didn't seem like the monica had a job rather than
being a pastor, right, I mean, were they running drugs?
Speaker 1: Guns?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 1: All of the above?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I just I don't know that there's so much here
that's not quite answered. And the fact that this is
not a larger case is like larger in the sense
of being talked about, is wild to me, absolutely wild.
Other other than the you know, the satanic panic. You're
crazy if you talk about this stuff. Do you think
there's like any other reason why this isn't why this
one's just kind of swept under the rug, Like do
you think it's maybe maybe because it's so blatant that
it's just ignored. I think it's a good question. I
don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's time and interest and satanic panic and
the interests of the corporate media, the kind of time
frames where they don't do a lot of deeper research.
I also think that the internet makes it easier to
put all this together, so so you know, we can
watch the Vice documentary and look at the newspaper articles
and research and put it all together so you see
it from all of its many facets, not just like
one article like this. So I think that and also
kind of grows in importance, especially this one attached to
True Detective. It's the background for True Detective.
Speaker 1: Right. Why do you think that this was the case
that he decided to choose Do you have an opinion
on that? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it makes sense like if he was wanting
to write on that subject matter that he's local. I
think he's from Baton Rouge. I know Petz a Loto
is from Louisiana, so and I know that he he
writes on a different variety of subjects, much like anybody
who writes fiction. He writes other dramas, and he's written
the True Detective stuff.
Speaker 1: But I think that.
Speaker 2: He was also featured in the one of the episodes too.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I did see that where he was the
bartender in the gay bar. But so I think, you know,
just like anybody else, they're looking a story or do
they have a story. But if somebody who's there within
like one hundred miles and this story made of I
mean they say in that article of the Daily Mail
article or the Mail online article, it reverberated through the
Christian community. So he may have personally had this reverberation
went through the whole community down there in South Louisiana
and like.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is really dark. So I think that that
may have been his inspiration. How there's more to be
researched on how True Detective came together or it is
interesting because it is unique and it deals with this
subject matter and it seemed to be attached by two
kind of actors. Who were you know, doing romance stuff
and uh, you know, comedy movies. I think, why would
these two people say, yeah, this is what I want
to be involved in, right, I think it was a
big decis it's a smart decision for them because people
will keep watching this over and over, like I've watched
it like two or three times now, Right, So I
think that how this this this group came together for
this thing is is there's more to the story. I
think that's important, Yeah, most most definitely. I I just
find it interesting that, of course that the same satanic
panic narrative is, you know, this stuff doesn't exist. Satanists
don't hurt children, because it says so on their website,
so obviously they're not lying, you know. And but yeah,
but these cases keep popping up all over the place,
Like even just in preparation for this show, I was
just searching this case specifically, and even in the search
results there were case after case after case of this happening.
In fact, I pulled up a Daily Mail article it
looks like from twenty twenty three. The title of the
article is Satanic child abuse ring shut victims in Oven
forced them to kill animals and film themselves. Well, I'm
just going to leave that out just for you know,
sake of not getting the stream nuked. But eleven people
were members of a pedophile ring. The group is alleged
to have abused children in Glasgow, Scotland over ten years,
so very clearly a lot of people if it was
over a ten year period. It is claimed members of
the group abuse three young children, at least three young
children that they know of. Glasgow High Court heard the
children were forced to take part in witchcraft two. There's
another case I've never heard of. But this just keeps
happening over and over and over and over again. And somehow.
Speaker 1: Satanists don't harm children, William. So that's one of their
things that they That's like one of their.
Speaker 2: Commonly used phrases, right, like Satanism isn't about harming children
when Crowley's like raping two year olds by his own
admission in his dietary.
Speaker 1: Right, he's no moral lies, right. I just find it
incredibly interesting. In fact, we've got an Australian case right now.
You know, the same thing is busting up a massive
online pedophile from what I understand, a child pornography and
snuff ring.
Speaker 2: You know, there's one in Israel. There's a case in
Israel that went all the way to their Knesset and
people died. The girl who came forward to talk about
it died, So like you had yaou of God, You've
got so many that's Brazil, right, So it's endemic.
Speaker 1: It's there.
Speaker 2: It's you know, you have all these cases with Savile Epstein.
So there's really just a very dark and I think
that's what True Detective keyed into is there's just a
dark underbelly and human experience and it gets super dark, right,
It's Epstein's super dark. There are kids missing, kids being raped,
there are infants being taken away, like it's really there's
hints of human sacrifice that people haven't come across yet,
but it's there.
Speaker 1: And murder.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you don't know what these guys did
to cover stuff up. You don't know if there's suspicious
deaths around this church or anything. Like, you don't know
what crimes they've gotten away with. It's almost like it's
a it's these If they're doing this stuff, they're probably
doing other you know, it's easy to deal drugs or
poison somebody or facilitate hits.
Speaker 1: Things, right, right, I actually have this huge, this huge
list of all of these cases in involving Satanism on
some level. Here's another headline from twenty sixteen, the new
sex abuse scandal. Twenty four hundred doctors implicated by patients.
More than two four hundred US doctors have been sanctioned
for sexually abusing their patients, according to a new report.
Another headline, how can social services lose eighteen thousand children
and not look for them? Twenty nineteen, out of the
Arizona Central internal prison files suggest Epstein's suicide cover up. Yeah,
no surprise there. Let's see, there was a Florida grand
jury focused on unaccompanied migrant children blaspheds and new new
report talking about all the migrant children being trafficked that
were just given to foster households and now there's no
record of them. Hmm. Interesting. Let's see, there was a
bunch more in this. The point of me bringing that up,
it's just that this, this just keeps happening over and
over and over, and you know, in my opinion, I
think that this is probably one of the it is
the largest issue of our time, and it's being completely ignored.
In fact, not even just ignored. It is being covered
up clearly, which is honestly one of the largest reasons
why I decided to start speaking out about my experiences
as a Satanist. You know, I didn't want to for
a long time because you know, I don't think it
was really that important, or at least I felt as
though it wasn't super important. But I do kind of
feel that it is important to at least explain from
you know, the the aspect that this stuff is real
and it's a lot more common than people would think.
And also it's not something that should be taken lightly,
whether you know, people believe that this stuff is a
joke or not. Like I agree, like these people are ridiculous, right,
but also there's a lot of people that take this
very seriously. They take their faith a hell of a
lot more serious than a lot of Christians that I know,
and uh, it makes it makes people incredibly dangerous. In fact,
something I find interesting is that I'll hear I I
heard this when I was a Satanist, is that Levein
Satanists are just they're they're fakes or they're you know,
just the the Malgoth equivalent of Satanists. You know, like
they're they're not real Satanists or whatever. It's that the
people like Luciferians or Crowley I, or you know, groups
like nine A or whatever, or the real Satanists. And
it's like no, no, no, no, that's not even close
to true. Because what makes Leaveyan Satanism so dangerous is that,
for one, it's accessible, it's super accessible, but it is
based upon, you know, the four tenants of Satanism, which
is basically like ultimate egoism, social Darwinism, and then let's
see what were the other twos social Darwinism, eugenics, and
the fourth ones escaping me. But these are all four
tenants that you find across all versions of Satanism. It
doesn't matter, you know, pick your flavor. You know, it's
like Basking Robin's the thirty one flavors or whatever, and
these are the four tenants that will literally be found
in all of them. And LaVey and Satanism made it pallable,
palatable for the average American. I mean, Leavey is like
almost a household name, you know, He's done more for
Satanism than almost anyone other than maybe Ken Lanning, you know.
So it's it's just incredibly interesting. I really hope that
people are kind of waking up to this, you know,
with the amazing work that you do. Uh, you know,
it's it's uh. I think it's just so much more
important than people actually give it credit for, because this
this actually affects all of us, you know. So there
there was one thing I wanted to ask you directly,
and it's let's see, let me see if I can
find it real quick while I look for that.
Speaker 2: There's one thing, like I've seen so many evil people
that at a certain point, like now, if I see
somebody doing an evil act or as part of it,
I always just their default is they're probably Satanists in
their network, like that's like it, and then eventually pop
about like Epstein, like oh, he's just an independent pedophile,
and then like, no, this guy is a network murderer,
subverting the culture. Drug runner possibly, right. I mean, it's
just I'm not saying he's actively involved in murder, but
there's elements within those files where they're like, oh, yeah,
I've got this ex Special Forces guy to do this job.
Like who says that you don't need a special Forces
guy to low your freaking lawn. You only get them
because they've been in action past.
Speaker 1: So it's.
Speaker 2: Just to follow up on your ad to what you said.
It's there no question people are very dangerous. It's the
cause of so many like crimes and wrongdoings and all
that stuff.
Speaker 1: Right, well, and do you believe that I at least
I believe that it's at the center of so much more.
Just like to reference Simon Dovey's work again, right at
the very beginning, he has this quote from Hunter S. Thompson,
which I'll read real quick. There is always a rash
of kidnappings and abductions of school children in the football months.
Preteens of both sexes are traditionally seized and grabbed off
the streets by gangs of organized perverts who traditionally give
them as Christmas gifts to each other to be personal
sex slaves and playthings. Most of them are obviously wrong
and evil and ugly, but at least they are traditional
from Hunter S. Thompson. And to me, let me know
what you think. It seems as though that this this
sort of subculture seems to be at the center of
a lot more crime in this country than people would
ever give it credit for. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that it's because they own the
media and they've spiked stories in the past. I can't
remember what the girl's name was on National TV, but
she's like, I had that Epstein story and then they
told me to spike it. So the cover up on
the whole Epstein network has been there for three decades
at least, and they're doing just horrible stuff. So imagine
the other stuff they want to cover up. So I
think that it's something in the culture has changed within
my lifetime where the Christianity has been taken out of
the public square or just even basic human uh like decency,
like at a basic level is gone, Like people take
it for granted now now it's just a big scam
culture and the people who are celebrated or dirt bags.
Speaker 1: It wasn't always like that, and so it's happened very recently.
Speaker 2: So I think that it's part of like the cultural
rock and decay, and it's really spiritual, like it's the
spiritual rod and spiritual de kay. Right, there's there's there's
a there's no reason why. It's not a surprise that
LaVey ascended a Kinos ascended as Christianity was taken out
of the public square in public places.
Speaker 1: And schools and things like that. Right, it's it's part of.
Speaker 2: A larger malaise, and it's done intentionally. Like I mean,
if Epstein is really primarily involved in power money, like
who I mean, there's hundreds of other Epstein's. Probably there's
probably not maybe not as bad as Epstein, but people
financing transgenderism and sexual dysphory, uh, gender dysphoria, like literally
financing rapists to come into your out your country. There
are people just doing evil stuff. So it's really taking
place with the rise of evil, and that that's why
this is all downplayed and mocked and ignored and omitted,
and right.
Speaker 1: It hasn't stopped. What if any connections to Hosanna are
there regarding Crowley? Did you notice any? No?
Speaker 2: But like I said earlier, like why didn't they ask quite?
They never the cops never really investigated and asked questions
about what specific kind of like occultism they're involved in.
But it is interesting there is you actually mentioned Crawley
in True Detective when they're talking to the lawnmower guy, like,
oh yeah, over Crawley, And I don't think that's by mistake.
Speaker 1: Right, what what do you think the one at least
maybe maybe not the biggest. But one of the most
common misconceptions about Crowley is that.
Speaker 2: He's a dabbler. They always just call him a dabbler.
It's such a joke. They don't even know it's supposed to.
It's repeated all the time. Oh, Alistair Crowley a dabbler
in the occult. The guy wrote book after book after book.
He wrote like some of the most important referenced books
in occultism. Guys right maguck in theory and practice, Like
you don't put that together. He's really a scholar. The
guy could have been a great scholar at a university,
at a top university Oxford, Cambridge, somewhere in the States.
But he was really just a scholar and aggregator of
the occult globally. He really stands. That's why he's so
important and sets him aside from you know, middling intellects
like Levey or some of these other people. It's because
he was freaking brilliant. The guy's output is extraordinary, Like
he write nonfiction fiction, mysteries, poetry. He was really a
literature that's what I call him. So this whole thing,
like it's just another It's really an epidemic of superficiality.
These people don't even pick anything up and do any
research because if they did any actual research on Curly,
they go, Wow, this guy knew a lot. He knew
a lot of people, and he's constantly writing like he
did you want to talk about triumph of egoism, like
treated women like crap, never had relationship with his kids
or anything like that. But he was not a dabbler,
and he was continually like at the end of his life,
he's writing magical without tears, Like he's literally compiling stuff
about the efficacy and application of magical principles to your life,
all the way at the end when he died at
seventy two, he's still talking about it in the late
sixties and seventies. So he really lived up to his
magical name, which is Paradomo or perdomo, which is I
will endure to the end of streets.
Speaker 1: Right. It kind of seems like almost everything goes back
to him, like it goes through him. He's like, uh,
every cult just goes back to Chro and then they
either change it or turn it or flip it around.
Just like echoes.
Speaker 2: It's all Craley Curly col right, So he's probably the
most important cultest of the age, like the the.
Speaker 1: You know, post.
Speaker 2: Renaissance or something like that. There's just nobody who compares
to them in the Western world. Uh, there are there
are other people who started their own you know, sex culture,
sex or sex or whatever. Like a keyo of a
myat some of these chaos magicians, people who started the
uh the Illuminati a than of Taro's had a lot
of very notable figures in it. But yeah, cru Cruly
kind of stands alone.
Speaker 1: I got to run. Yeah, yeah, not to wrap up here.
So let's let people know where they can find you, William,
And I definitely want to get you back. There's there's
more I want to dig into this, and True Detective
itself definitely kind of wanted to do a precursor thing,
but there's some specific stuff I want to get into
it a later date. So let's get you back at
some point, but let people know where they can find you. Yeah.
