"Jupiter-Man" Satanic Possession
 
In An Outline of Esoteric Science, Steiner describes a class of Satanic beings which he calls "Jupiter man," which will not reach their "human" stage of evolution until the next, or "Jupiter" incarnation of our solar system.  These beings fell behind evolutionarily and had to dwell "on" Jupiter for a while until the Moon was withdrawn from Earth.  Now, these beings dwell in Earth's subphysical realm and are controlled by Satan, they intermingle with the will-forces of our etheric body [the lowest level of our nonphysical being], and they watch for weak spots through which to penetrate into and seize control over our minds.
The following excerpts which characterize this class of beings are from a November, 1919 lecture by Steiner, which can be found in The Archangel Michael: His Mission and Ours [available through various on-line bookstores].  The passage from which these excerpts were drawn begins on page 167.
-------------------------

Something different is happening now.  The subhuman beings WHOSE CHIEF CHARACTEISTIC IS AN IMPULSE SIMILAR TO OUR HUMAN WILL [an aspect of our etheric body] are now emerging from below as it were....  These are beings from the realm of Ahriman. p 169

It is a significant finding of spiritual-scientific research, one that needs to be taken very, very seriously, that we have entered the phase of Earth's evolution when those beings will assert themselves who, in the subsequent Jupiter phase of Earth's evolution, will have advanced to human form. p 167
These beings find vulnerable areas to attack in human beings WHEN THE LATTER YIELD TO UNBRIDLED INSTINCTS AND IMPULSES AND FAIL TO STRIVE TO UNDERSTAND THEM CLEARLY.  p 174 (emphasis added)

These actually subhuman beings are powerful far beyond their own nature [due to Ahriman's influence].... Their effect is so compelling that those whom they ENSLAVE are unable, in their human weakness, to resist unless they strengthen themselves spiritually. p 170

People DO NOT NOTICE THESE BEINGS ENTERING THEIR SOULS, and even their bodily natures.  Once within us, these beings attract to themselves all that has remained Luciferic [i.e. egotistical in the lower sense, and deceitful] and unpermeated by Christ in us.  They can successfully seize hold of those elements.  p 170 [emphasis added]
-----------

The preceding excerpt differentiates this mode of possession from the mode by which nature-spirits of destruction, or demons, take possession of a soul.  Demons seize control by stimulating "sensuous urges," whereas these "Jupiter men," based on my understanding of Steiner's descriptions, seize control over the person's will and thinking more directly, and have a more purely Satanic influence without the intense demonic drive to torment, torture, injure or kill humans or animals directly, although the influence they have on society can be more devastating.
Once a person becomes possessed, they become excellent liars, because the beings which take possession act as conduits for Ahriman, who imparts extreme cleverness (not always apparent), lies and materialistic ideas.  (Lucifer warps perception, allowing us to perceive falsely, but Ahriman feeds lies and materialistic ideas to us.)  This much is shared with demonic possession.
Not everybody is at risk of being possessed by this class of beings.  The following excerpts, which are also from The Archangel Michael, describe the mentality of those who are at risk.  There is additional detail in the book.

"The whole way these men [German Generals Tirpitz and Ludendorff] think is exactly the same as the way Caesar thought." [p171]  "What matters is that neither carries the true Christian impulse in his heart and soul."  [p172 - the Christ impulse is independent of a person's outward religion]

"It is a particularly frightening problem.  Spiritual-scientific research reveals that the darkened consciousness of these individuals was like an open door:  the will-beings ["Jupiter men"] TOOK POSSESSION OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS of these individuals by means of their dimmed awareness ..., ACTING THROUGH IT out of their own consciousness."  p 169 [emphasis added]

By "darkened consciousness," I assume that Steiner was referring to a state of consciousness produced by putting someone who had not absorbed much of the Christ Impulse into a position of making decisions which affect many people.  He cited the example of General Ludendorff making a decision, after his troops had taken the town of Liege during WWI, which caused his state of mind to change to that of Caesar, "a darkened consciousness that opens the door for the Ahrimanic world to enter [p 172]."  I surmise that Ludendorff yielded to the luciferic influence which contributes to egotism, since that was Caesar's most prominent characteristic.
One reason why those who have absorbed a significant amount of the Christ Impulse are protected from this form of possession is that the Christ Impulse occupies the central region of the soul, corresponding to the heart, and it shields the upper, conscious region of the soul from the influence of the Jupiter beings which approach from below:

"[W]hen the Christ-Impulse takes hold of the middle level of consciousness ... the Ahrimanic forces cannot get through this middle stratum, cannot ... drag down the powers of the intellect.  Everything depends on this."  Rudolf Steiner, The Archangel Michael, p 173

In order to shed more light on the process of becoming possessed, and on how Lucifer and Ahriman work together, I include a few quotations from Evil, a collection of lectures by Steiner [available through various on-line bookstores]:
----------

"Ever since the Lemurian epoch ... [luciferic] forces made our inner life the focal point of their attack, by infiltrating our desires, impulses, and passions.  There were two consequences of this:  we were able to become free ... [from] the sway of divine, spiritual beings....  But ... we also had to accept our potential for evil arising through our passions, emotions and desires." p 100

Lucifer's influence was primarily one towards freedom, enabling [mankind] to overcome a passive submission to random external powers, allowing them ... a capacity for acting independently. p 103

But ... [Lucifer's] influence ... dragged them down ... [and] made their desires and actions, their whole being in fact of a lower nature than it would have been [otherwise]." p103

"How, then, does the luciferic influence act?  It penetrates into the astral body and is thus able to work upon all three 'bodies' of the human being - astral, etheric and physical....  In the etheric it brings about IMPULSES OF FALSEHOOD AND LYING." P103, emphasis added

"[T]hrough Lucifer there arises selfishness in the astral body, lying and falsehood in the etheric body, and sickness and death in the physical body." p 104

"The ahrimanic influence is therefore a result of the luciferic: Lucifer takes possession of [i.e. penetrates and influences] us from within, and we are as a result susceptible to attack from without [by beings from Ahriman's subphysical realm]. p 100
------------------------------

To summarize: it is possible for those who have not absorbed the Christ-Impulse (one aspect of which is agapic love, and which is not exclusive to those who call themselves Christian) to become possessed without striving to do so.  All that seems to be required to begin the process in such people is to yield to "unbridled instincts and impulses," by which I assume he was referring to the animal passions and the Luciferic impulses of egotism and falsehood.

Venice, A Portrait of Possession

"[A] person possessed by Ahriman ... wishes to have as many people under his thumb, and to rule over them - if he is clever enough - by using and manipulating their weaknesses."  Rudolf Steiner, Evil, p 84

"To use the briefest possible characterization, let it be said that Lucifer is the being who tells man that he is "like the gods, knowing good and evil," [i.e. AS intelligent and wise as the gods] as the Book of Genesis puts it, and Ahriman the being who tells man that he is "only man," with no divine element in him...." [2]
        
" . . . the soul does not exist without a body and yet is not itself a kind of body. For it is not a body, but something which belongs to a body, and for this reason exists in a body, and in a body of such-and-such a kind."
                                            from On the Soul by Aristotle

[In other words, "human soul" is a characteristic, such as the genetic code, of "the" substance out of which a human is made.  This would mean that there is nothing to a human besides physical substance which has this "human soul" characteristic, and that each type of animal consists of substance with a certain "animal soul" characteristic.]

"You see, this battle [between Michael and Ahriman] was already there in the Cosmos, BUT IT BECAME SIGNIFICANT ABOVE ALL SINCE THE EIGHTH OR NINTH CENTURY, when the Cosmic Intelligence [a type of intelligence which I gather is what Satan wants to get his mitts on] gradually fell away from Michael and his hosts and came down to humanity on earth.  It BECAME ACUTE only when the Spiritual or Consciousness Soul began to unfold in humanity at the beginning of the fifteenth century." [3] [emphasis added]

Venice, the so-called "Serene Republic" which was neither, was a stage in the metamorphosis of the Roman Empire into the British Empire of today.  It became the main vehicle for the Devil's war on mankind's mental and spiritual evolution, which began in earnest at about the same time that man attained the consciousness-soul and began to threaten the power of the would-be heirs to the Roman Empire.  This war, also known as the Conservative Revolution, is probably a lot more conservative and evil than the typical supporter of that movement ever imagined.
The American Almanac website [4] is a rare source of truth about Venice.  In one of the articles there, I found a description of Venice which has striking parallels to Steiner's description of satanic possession:

"I think it is important here, to reference the prime Satanic evil that Venice really is. There are two works of art which deal most effectively with the methods of Venice. They are The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlowe and The Ghostseer by Friedrich Schiller.
"In both masterpieces, we see a portrait of pure evil, where there is no right or wrong, just corruption. The key to this is Aristotle, and it should not come as any surprise that it was the University of Padua, run by Venice, that trained the elite of Venice explicitly in Aristotle. Aristotle rejects Plato's method of successive approximations of perfection, which bring one closer to the Creator. For Aristotle, the Creator has nothing to do with the unfolding of the universe and the continuing creation. For Aristotle, man's progress is a mere illusion and we are always infinitely far from the Creator. For Aristotle, there is no right or wrong, because there is no knowable truth. For Aristotle, there is only ethics but no morality, and ethics is only a matter of convention. In The Ghostseer Schiller captures this in the most profound way. He shows that the essence of Venice is that it is always on both sides of every issue--but THE ESSENCE OF ITS METHOD IS CORRUPTION: FIND THE ADVERSARY'S WEAKNESS, AND THEN CORRUPT HIM. This is Satanic.  It is evil for evil's sake. Its method is TO DEGRADE HUMANITY AND TO TAKE DELIGHT IN THAT. We will recount how this Venetian evil took over England and created the New Age. [emphasis added] [5]

The following by LaRouche shows the form in which the influence of Venice on philosophy has come down to the present:

The Legacy of Paolo Sarpi

The present national-security concerns of the United States are properly understood only when it is recognized, that today's problems of national security are often derived from the influence of that Servite monk and mathematician, Paolo Sarpi, who maintained factional supremacy in Venice from 1582 until his death in 1623. [Note that Steiner indicated above that Satan's war on human consciousness "became acute" about 150 years before Sarpi became influential.]  Sarpi is the father of all the mathematical and social theory which came to be known as The Enlightenment. Many among today's security problems may occur, either as the effect of Sarpi's influence upon the behavior of other nations, or of our own, or a combination of both effects.
  It was Sarpi who launched the process of "cloning" the British and Netherlands monarchies as the future "doges" of a ruling, global financier oligarchy. It was Sarpi, as mathematician and controller of such assets as England's Sir Francis Bacon and of Galileo Galilei, who established the axiomatic basis for both today's generally accepted, mechanistic, Galileo-Descartes-Newton-Euler faction in mathematical physics, and also the generally accepted assumptions underlying the social theory IMPOSED UPON TODAY'S UNIVERSITIES. Under the rubric of "social theory," are included empiricist political-economy, the Hobbes-Locke current in law, and the most widely accepted varieties of psychology and utopianism of the English-speaking world (and, elsewhere).
  In the preceding pages, we have summarized the case, that human nature is distinguished from the characteristics of all lower species, by virtue of those developable, not-entropic qualities of the individual person, upon which society depends, absolutely, for the continued survival of our species.
  The followers of Sarpi, notably including Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume, Voltaire, Pierre-Louis Maupertuis, Giammaria Ortes, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill, premised today's dominant social theory, upon a directly opposite, bestialized notion of "human nature." It is fairly said, that the latter dogma is based chiefly upon apotheosis of the "Seven Deadly Sins," as the core of its teaching. This is generally known, variously, as the empiricist, British, Liberal, materialist, positivist, behaviorist, or psychoanalytical mind-set. Despite the secondary distinctions among the latter varieties of doctrine, they rest, each and all, upon a common species of underlying assumptions. Those assumptions are false; their implications for social practice, are wicked.
  As noted, above, during the middle of the Eighteenth Century, the influence of Venice, throughout Europe, was centered in a network of salons set up under the direction of Abbot Antonio Conti (1677-1749). That Conti is best known as the sponsor of the scientific reputation which he manufactured for a man who would otherwise be recognized today only as an obscure dabbler in black magic, Isaac Newton. Conti was also, similarly, the sponsor of Voltaire, of Physiocrat Dr. François Quesnay, and many other Enlightenment notables of that time. He served during the first half of that century as a leading controller for the foreign intelligence services of Venice. During the middle of that century, the network of salons established by him, launched a campaign for what was sometimes described as "Newtonian social theory." As a result of this, Maupertuis and the same Giammaria Ortes who wrote the book plagiarized by Thomas Malthus, were among the leading pioneers in what became known later as empiricist and materialist dogma; today, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill, are among the most widely known exponents of that "Newtonian social theory."
  The significance of the use of the term "Newtonian social theory" and its variants of that period's usages, is the notion, advanced by Maupertuis and Ortes, that the mechanistic quantification of Thomas Hobbes' attributes for human nature, could extend the domain of Newton's Principia into the field of social theory, producing a "calculus" of social theory. Hence, we have the satanic doctrine of "freedom," derived from Hobbes, Locke, and Mandeville, embedded as the cornerstone of Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" dogma in particular, and Liberal political and social dogma in general.[6] (emphasis added)

LaRouche continues:

"Honest ignorance put aside, the immediate root-cause for all of the economic problems of each and all nations, and of today's mankind in general, is literally an occult dogma introduced to modern Europe at the close of the Sixteenth Century. The author of that doctrine was the mephistophelean Paolo Sarpi, in his time the most powerful figure of Venice.  This was the same Sarpi who trained his personal lackey, Galileo Galilei, in certain new principles of mathematics. These were the principles which Galileo taught, in turn, to his own student, Thomas Hobbes. These are the principles passed down to the present day under the interchangeable technical terms of empiricism, positivism, and philosophical liberalism.
  The most influential figures on economics policy among the English and French, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries' followers of Sarpi, were John Locke in his hedonistic principle of property, Bernard Mandeville in defense of unchecked licentiousness, David Hume, François Quesnay's pro-feudalist, anti-nation-state cult of laissez-faire, Adam Smith's explicitly anti-U.S.A. dogma of "free trade," and satanic Jeremy Bentham's CULT-WORSHIP OF UNIVERSAL DEGENERACY. [7] (emphasis added)

William James, whom the Establishment holds up as one of the greatest American philosophers, is yet another variation on Sarpi.  He, along with others, founded an "American" branch of philosophy cynically named Pragmatism (see James's Pragmatism, which summarizes James's bestial notion of man).  LaRouche had the following to say about James:

"In all of James' work flowing into his general dogma of pragmatism, he was a follower of the modern Manicheanism of Mandeville, in the same sense that Charles Darwin professed his published work to be nothing other than his fraudulent imposition of the dogma of Thomas Malthus upon the reading of nature. [8]

Robert McDermott, a brilliant scholar who has written books on both James and Rudolf Steiner, wrote an article entitled William James and Rudolf Steiner [9], from which I gather that he too considers James to have been clueless, although he was more subtle about it.
I pondered James's involvement in the "psychical research" movement, and luckily ran across a chapter in Anton Chaitkin's book Treason In America, entitled The Spooks.  It appears to me that James was actually trying to devise methods to regress mankind's consciousness, and excuses for doing so, which reflects a Luciferian influence.  (The international scope of this effort is especially apparent throughout The Lucis Trust: Satanism and the NWO, which is posted to this website.)  His interest in "religious experiences" seems to have been motivated by this search for excuses for irrationality.  He also believed that nitrous-oxide intoxication provided useful insights, and lumped it in with "mystical states."  Although he "experimented" with it quite a lot, the only effect reflected in his work is brain damage.


Bernard, de Man-deville: Sarpi's Satanism Surfaces

"Do What Thou Wilt" shall be the whole of the Law.        
                                               Aleister Crowley

Friedrich von Hayek, the patron-saint of the Conservative Revolution who considered himself to be a philosophical liberal (i.e., like Locke, a variation on Sarpi), effusively praised one Bernard Mandeville, a.k.a. Bernard de Mandeville:

"Von Hayek argued in his Mandeville lecture that Mandeville's poem, The Fable of the Bees, was perhaps THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHICAL TREATISE EVER COMPOSED. He credited Mandeville with inspiring Adam Smith's argument for the unbridled free market." [emphasis added][10]

The following is from an ad for The Enlightenment's 'Fable' by E. J. Hundert, an Establishment authority-figure on history and philosophy.  Hundert's book was published by no less than Cambridge University Press, so they obviously want us to take Mandeville seriously, not as the "satirist" they often claim he was. 

The apprehension of society as an aggregation of self-interested individuals, CONNECTED ONLY BY BONDS OF ENVY, COMPETITION, AND EXPLOITATION, IS A DOMINANT MODERN CONCERN, but one first systematically articulated during the European Enlightenment. The Enlightenment's Fable approaches this problem from the perspective of the challenge offered to inherited traditions of morality and social understanding by the Anglo-Dutch physician [who ADVOCATED basing society on the aforementioned "bonds," which actually fragment society or prevent one from getting started], satirist and philosopher, Bernard Mandeville. Mandeville's infamous paradoxical maxim 'private vices, public benefits' profoundly disturbed his contemporaries, while his Fable of the bees HAD A DECISIVE INFLUENCE on David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant. Professor Hundert examines the sources and strategies of Mandeville's SCIENCE OF HUMAN NATURE [barf!] and the role of his ideas in shaping eighteenth century economic, social and moral theories. [11]

I'd be willing to bet that Professor Hundert doesn't mention EVERY influence  that went into Mandeville's philosophy.  In particular, I doubt he mentions the one mentioned in following excerpt:
"Mandeville was widely known to be THE leading figure among Britain's Satan-worshipping secret societies, which proliferated rapidly among the degenerate financier elite. They became notorious after George I's accession to the throne in 1714--typified by the infamous Hell-Fire clubs--and flaunted their political ascendancy following the devastating financial blowout of the South Sea Bubble in 1720." [12] [emphasis added]

In the "person" and "philosophy" of Bernard Mandeville (to whom LaRouche refers above, as a variation on Sarpi), the Satanism implicit in the oligarchy's "philosophy" became explicit, for a while - until he was transformed from a Satanist into a "satirist."  Mandeville was an inner-circle member of the Hell Fire Clubs, which was a network of Satanic cults disguised as dens of iniquity, where people could be conditioned to surrender to their "instincts and impulses," a prerequisite to becoming satanically and/or demonically possessed.   It seems to me that "Hell-Fire" refers to these Luciferic "burning desires." 
  Various websites report that Benjamin Franklin was seen in at least one Club, but what they don't say is that he was spying on his enemies, the British oligarchy.  He might have been a womanizer, but he was no Satanist.
Just as is the case today, when someone became sufficiently degraded, and perhaps non-demonically possessed, he would be introduced to the ugly secret at the core of the Clubs: satanic ritual human "sacrifice," which is partly intended to facilitate demonic possession, although the participants are often given the impression that it will be beneficial. For instance, the Franklin Coverup indicates that the cult-members are under the impression that it conveys some kind of "power," when in fact, it causes loss of power.
Many children who lived in the vicinity of some of the Hell-Fire Clubs (which I gather were in secluded areas) disappeared over the years shortly before Satanic festivals, and in some cases were said to have gone "missing with the fairies."  Considering that fairies and demons are both nature spirits, I suspect that the "missing with the fairies" line was intended as a hint of the horrible truth.
However, the oligarchy has swept the overt Satanism of this period and of Mandeville under the rug, while retaining Mandeville's "philosophy," which, besides purveying Satanic influence, is actually an appeal for people to abandon themselves to their lowest nature, and thus open themselves up to non-demonic possession.  Note the similarity to Crowley's sick dictum, "do what thou wilt" (and thou shall wilt).
A TV show named The World's Most Frightening Places once did a segment on Crowley's Thelema ("Will") Abbey, during which a camera  quickly panned over something on a wall inside the abbey.  I single-stepped through that scene, and found that it read something like "stab your demonic smile to my brain."  This seems to support what I've concluded about Satanism: that its core function is the facilitation of  possession.  Interestingly, according to Dope, Inc., "Crowley was the tutor of Aldous Huxley, the prophet of MIND CONTROL." [13] [emphasis added]
In The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, which is widely considered to be one of the primary sources on "mind control," I found a tantalyzing potential hint at a connection between LSD, "mind control" and possession:

[I]n the 1960s, LSD would escape from the closed world of scholar and spy, and it would play a major role in causing a cultural upheaval that would have an impact both on global politics and on intimate personal beliefs. The trip would wind up, to borrow some hyperbole from the musical Hair with "the youth of America on LSD."
   The counterculture generation was not yet out of the nursery, however, when Bob Hyde went tripping: Hyde himself would not become a secret CIA consultant for several years. The CIA and the military intelligence agencies were just setting out on their quest for drugs and other exotic methods TO TAKE POSSESSION OF PEOPLE'S MINDS. THE ANCIENT DESIRE TO CONTROL ENEMIES THROUGH MAGICAL SPELLS AND POTIONS HAD COME ALIVE AGAIN, and several offices within the CIA competed to become the head controllers. [emphasis added] [13a] [Some drugs apparently drive out the higher soul, leaving a void which Satanic influences can fill.]

I also found references to "mind control" in connection with the Bohemian Grove, which is apparently a government-protected sanctuary for Satanists, and which is the site of a famous annual recruitment program.
Careful consideration of the relevant passage of Mandeville's "poem," The Grumbling Hive, upon which The Fable of the Bees was based, shows that Mandeville's "philosophy" explicitly advocates abandoning oneself to one's lowest nature, because it supposedly contributes to the common good:

Vast numbers thronged the fruitful Hive;
Yet those vast Numbers made 'em thrive;
Millions endeavouring to supply
Each Other's Lust [instinct] and Vanity [egotism]....
THUS EVERY PART WAS FULL OF VICE,
YET THE WHOLE MASS A PARADISE;
Flatter'd in Peace, and fear'd in Wars
They were th' Esteem of Foreigners....
Such were the Blessings of that State;
THEIR CRIMES CONSPIRED TO MAKE 'EM GREAT;
AND VIRTUE, who from Politicks Had learn'd a thousand
Cunning Tricks [lies],
Was, by their happy Influence,
MADE FRIENDS WITH VICE:
And ever since THE WORST OF ALL THE MULTITUDE
DID SOMETHING FOR THE COMMON GOOD

Mandeville was apparently more intent upon misleading people into surrendering to their lowest nature than he was with being scientific, because his crude rhyme, which is the foundation of his "literary" and "philosophical" edifice, is a total fantasy.  A beehive has a group soul, and as a result, individual bees have no free will, and thus no ability to sin, and they are essentially robots dedicated to the building and maintaining the hive.  Nor have they any need for a culture to develop their souls, as do humans.  So, the "great philosophy" upon which the Conservative Revolution was explicitly based by its founder, is actually a plug for feudalism!  (This gives new meaning to the title of Hayek's most famous book, The Road to Serfdom.)

Hayek: "Free Trade" Based on Mandeville

Hayek didn't merely praise Mandeville - he attributed a fundamental tenet of his so-called economic theory directly to one of Mandeville's "sociological" principles:  

"Hayek's great work all flows from the fundamental vision of classical economics and political science [feudalism] which Hayek terms 'spontaneous order.' This evolutionary principle (originally enunciated in 1705 by Bernard Mandeville) ascribes the development of society and economy to what Adam Ferguson -- colleague of David Hume and Adam Smith -- called 'human action but not human design,' but more commonly known as Smith's 'invisible hand.'" [14]

"Spontaneous order," "human action but not human design," and the "invisible hand" are just excuses for abandoning the overall organization of society to the oligarchy, which is "invisible" because their media paint them out of the virtual reality they feed us.  (Note that Ludwig von Mises' magnum opus is entitled Human Action - implying "but not human design.")  The "hidden hand" then seizes the reins of large-scale economic activity to destroy civilizations or to prevent them from developing in the first place.
In a letter to his father, John Foster Dulles admitted the real purpose of "free trade" and provided a candid view of the oligarchy's mind-set:

"Laws should not ... have for object, the doing away with all poverty and distress; but rather in so DETERMINING THE CONDITION OF COMPETITION [rigging the "free market"] that THE MOST DESIRABLE [as defined by the oligarchy, which evidently considers itself to be Mother Nature, as in "natural selection"] find themselves best adapted to succeed." [15]

The letter goes on and on, and it's just the most disgusting confession of a Caesar-like mind-set I've ever read.  It just so happens that Dulles had connections to a high-level occult group in Switzerland. [16]  It's little wonder, then, that Dulles was a key player in bringing Hitler to power, and that his brother was a key player in flooding the country with LSD, and in covering up the JFK assassination.  Treason in America contains an extensive section on his career of high-level treason.

Mandeville De-viled

As I mentioned previously, the Establishment has tried to prevent people from noticing the connection between its "philosophies" and Satanism, and this includes sweeping Mandeville's Satanic allegiance under the carpet.  You can see this for yourself by searching the web under "Bernard Mandeville" and "'Bernard Mandeville' Satan."  In the first case, you will find hundreds of references, and in the second, a mere handful, only a couple of which actually state that he was a Satanist.
The modern versions of Mandeville's "black-ops" activity can be seen in various types of Satanic cults, including some which were essentially clones of the Hell Fire Clubs, down to the name.  As in his day, participants in the perverse activities connected with Satanic cults include some of the most "respectable" people:

"In this article, the first of an ongoing series, we present a dossier of some of the principal institutions and individuals behind this evil "New Age'' movement.  The reader will learn, how behind the oh-so-nice U.N. brochures and talk about "peace,'' some of the leading figures of this grouping have been exposed as practicing the most obscene homosexual and child pornography rituals imaginable.
"Take the notorious case of Canon Edward West, the coordinator of the American association of the Most Venerable Order of St. John [the Order proper is the most elite on the planet, with a member of the British Royal Family, the Duke of Gloucester, at the helm - its website, www.saintjohn.org, includes a photo of Queen Elizabeth in "the robes of Sovereign Head of the Order"].  Eyewitness accounts indicate that during the 1980s, he was a frequent participant in obscene sexual rituals at homosexual S&M clubs in Manhattan, including the
Mineshaft [interesting name, considering that mine shafts lead to the "underworld," the home of "Jupiter men" and Lytton's "Coming Race" who are powered by vril/veil/evil] and the Hellfire Club (named after an 18th-century English secret Satanic society).  Favorite "entertainment'' at the Mineshaft included having children urinate on the patrons. In the mid-1980s, the club was shut down, following an investigation by the New York Police Department.... [17]
                    
The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry mentions that offshoots of the Process Church - which came from England, and is evidently descended from the Hell Fire Clubs - attract new members by throwing wild parties which include sex and drugs.  Such recruitment efforts are typically targeted at college students for various reasons, including their strong sex drives, their gullibility, and their typically new-found independence from the protective influence of their parents.  Probably not coincidentally, Mandeville's libertine philosophy is also targeted at college students.
So, on the one hand, the Establishment openly pushes Mandeville's Satanic philosophy on college students while fanatically hiding his outright Satanism, and on the other, they entice college students with the "Hell Fire Club" variety of Satanism which incorporates Mandeville's "evil is good" gambit, while fanatically hiding his and their connections to it.  Such "Hell Fire" activity is carried out in a wide variety of forums in which Establishment personnel participate.

Satanic possession as a prerequisite for Establishment minions

"This considered, the kingdom of darkness, as it is set forth in these and other places of the Scripture, is nothing else but a confederacy of deceivers that, to obtain dominion over men in this present world, endeavour, by dark and erroneous doctrines, to extinguish in them the light, both of nature and of the gospel; and so to disprepare them for the kingdom of God to come."
                       from Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes [18]

Hobbes should have known, since he was part of that confederacy, and a homosexual and Hell-Fire brand of Satanist to boot.  His deceit in that particular paragraph was in pretending not to be part of it, among other things.
Hobbes was at least telling the truth when he called the Establishment a confederacy of deceivers, by which he meant that they're the best bunch of liars on the planet (a veritable Liars From Hell Club).  They even seem to enjoy it.  It's their weapon of choice in their war against mankind, although when the lies have weakened their target to a certain point, they deliver the coup de grace with violence.  This approach is succinctly expressed by the following quotation from a letter by Sebastian Giustinian, Venetian ambassador to England, to the Doge (the head of the Venetian oligarchy) in 1519:

"The nature of the time, most serene Prince, requires this: an observance of an old proverb, which enjoins kissing the hand we are unable to cut off.'' [19]

Since deceiving people is such an important part of the Establishment's strategy, they naturally want the best liars possible - and nobody makes a better liar that someone who is Satanically possessed.  This is because a possessed person is a channel through which high-ranking Satanic beings, whom Steiner categorizes first and foremost as highly intelligent beings of falsehood, can perform actions in the physical world.  Recall that a previous quotation by Steiner characterized this state by saying that Jupiter men "took possession of the consciousness of these individuals ... ACTING THROUGH IT OUT OF THEIR OWN CONSCIOUSNESS."  Another way of saying this is that the Jupiter men act as puppet strings controlled by Satan.
Considering this, and that I have presented evidence that the Establishment has created organizations and programs to cause people to become demonically possessed, it should come as no surprise to learn that there is evidence that the Establishment has done the same to cause people to become Satanically possessed.
In fact, it's even more likely that they have done the latter, since becoming non-demonically possessed can be done without participating in activity which is obviously Satanic, and it can serve as a precursor to demonic possession.  It a way, it's even more hideous, because it's so insidious, and because it's easier for a Satanically possessed person to appear respectable, attain a powerful position, and use it to undermine civilization.
The Whirlpool to Hell, Disguised as a Jacuzzi

The following quotations from Rudolf Steiner indicate the general nature of programs designed to elicit possession:

'These beings find vulnerable areas to attack in human beings WHEN THE LATTER YIELD TO UNBRIDLED INSTINCTS AND IMPULSES AND FAIL TO STRIVE TO UNDERSTAND THEM CLEARLY." [20] [emphasis added]

"How, then, does the Luciferic influence act?  It penetrates into the astral body and is thus able to work upon all three 'bodies' of the human being - astral, etheric and physical....  In the etheric it brings about IMPULSES OF FALSEHOOD AND LYING." [21] [emphasis added]

Any activity sanctioned by the Establishment which tends to cause people to abandon themselves to their instincts and impulses, including philosophies and other incentives which encourage people to lie, should be considered in this light.  Establishment "philosophies" which lead to the conclusion that there is no ultimate meaning, and thus that anything and everything goes, are the leading edge of this corruption.  For instance, the media constantly provide "evidence" to "support" Darwinism, which is the supposed scientific basis of materialistic philosophies.  In fact, it's a religion based on what Steiner identifies as a Satan-inspired "suspicion of materialism."
LaRouche's article entitled The Theory of the Satanic Personality, which I stumbled onto in the course of writing this and related essays, goes into considerable detail on the effects of philosophy on the psychological process of becoming possessed.  It contains many striking parallels to what I've written about demonic possession, although it seems to vacillate between treating demons as psychological constructs and as separate entities.
At the risk of oversimplifying LaRouche's argument, I will try to succinctly express the essence of its philosophical aspect.  He seems to be saying that all philosophies which lead someone down the road to possession are based on the notion that the physical world is all there is, or that there is at least an unbridgeable chasm between the physical world and God.  Thus, life is ultimately meaningless, and anything goes.
Compare this with what Steiner identifies as fundamental influences of Satan and Lucifer.  He stated that Ahriman/Mephistopheles/Satan "entice[s mankind] into regarding everything in his environment as material, with the result that he does not see through this material world to its true, spiritual foundations." [22]  The resulting attitude that anything goes then gives free rein to Lucifer's influence, which debases our feelings and desires, and gives us the impulse to lie.  If we act on these base desires and impulses, the door is opened to the aforementioned satanically-controlled Jupiter men, and a downward spiral begins.  This pattern can be seen throughout Establishment "educational" institutions, and the Dionysian sex-drugs-rock counterculture which tends to reduce people to animals.
Thanks to the counterculture, entire societies have been converted into the equivalent of outer circles of Satanic cults.  The most pervasive elements include the media-"culture" which brainwashes us, insults us, dumbs us down, and debases our morals. 
Once you understand the basic elements, you will realize that this kind of stuff goes on all the time, and with the blessings of the Establishment, despite their pretenses of being anti-Establishment.   

Extreme Dionysian Groups

The network exposed by the Franklin Coverup is a prime example of this type of group.  I would categorize it as the outer circle of a Hell-Fire type of Satanic cult, with aspects of the typical inner circle.  (The book refers to more secretive groups connected to this outer group, and I assume they comprise the Satanic inner circle.)  Drug consumption and perverted sexual activities including pedophilia are par for the course within the outer circle.  I think it's safe to say that nobody who would commit pedophilia has absorbed much of the Christ impulse, meaning they're especially vulnerable to Satanic possession.  In fact, I am tempted to assert that pedophilia, because it is so contrary to the human instinct to protect and nurture children, is in itself a sign of possession.  But then, it could also just be an extreme perversion of the sex drive, so I can't be certain. 

Cultivating the Impulse to Lie
          
In order to embark on a career of helping to lead mankind to its destruction by deliberately telling big lies, an Establishment minion must at least initially consider himself to be part of a group which is inherently superior, typically on the basis of genetics or supposed intelligence, and thus qualified to play God and worthy of being spared the destruction they plan for the rest of civilization.  But after telling such lies with a feeling of smugness for a while, he no longer requires such rationalizations, because he will have become host to the enemy of mankind. (Actually, the cultivation of an ability to lie goes hand-in-hand with SRA, so it's a moot point whether lying by itself is sufficient to lead to possession.  But, as Steiner said, lying represents death and destruction in the spiritual world.)
This strategy of transfering loyalty from mankind in general to some Establishment subgroup can be seen throughout the Establishment's minion-recruitment programs.  The Nazis are a prime example, and Anton Chaitkin's Treason In America provides another example:

To administer this horror and carnage [the colonization of India], the British East India Company [a "privatized" front for the "Venetian faction" within the oligarchy] felt the need for a new species of employee, trained in a new type of "economics" [free trade"], who by his training could be relied upon to commit murder on an unprecedented scale without pity and without remorse. This kind of training would involve the selection of candidates with criminal propensities, AND INCULCATION WITH THE MOST DEGRADED CONCEPTS OF RACIALISM AND IRRATIONALISM.
  To this end the Company founded two colleges in England.  [p 275, emphasis added]

The annual gaterhing at the Bohemian Grove, which has similar goals but more subtle means of achieving them, combines the Dionysian aspect with the loyalty-transfer aspect, which are intended to induce the participants to abandon themselves to their Luciferic impulses, including the impulse to lie.  So, I find it very interesting that it originally targeted the media of the time.  What better way for the Spirits of Darkness to spread their confusion?
  There are many other such organization which combine various elements mentioned here, but behind them all, and behind the programs to lure people into unwittingly becoming possessed, lies the truly ancient pagan/luciferic/satanic priesthood at the core of the British oligarchy: The Cult of Isis.
