the curious entry in the article cited above was a mention of how the particular ritual being performed was
also performed against Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. which prompted me to say "whaaaa?" and ask
the Mighty Wikipedia to explain.
the tale involves the Pasadena, CA branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis and Hubbard's soon to be wife
Sara, which led to heinous divorce actions, crimes, etc and ultimately L. Ron claimed he was sent
by the Navy to infiltrate and destroy the OTO branch in Pasadena, and oh so much more.
damned fine reading and would make a fantastic movie!
oh and the guy who aimed his ritual against L. Ron - he blew up.

The guy that blew up is the NASA equivalent of Sam Walton. Jack Parsons was the founder of JPL which is one of the main private contracting firms of NASA to this day. Every NASA conspiracy ever pretty much has JPL right in the middle of it. There's a guy name Jay Weidner who has a bunch of YouTube stuff up about JPL, Stanley Kubrick, peripheral quantum theory babble etc.
The main riff of the NASA conspiracy revolves around the "secret space program" which is what you would want your parsons/Hubbard movie to really be about.
The best "reason" (though there are gajillions) for the secret space program is that Saturns rings are portals/black holes/time machines and that Crowley discovered this via John Dee and ancient Kaballah blah blah blah and that this was THE secret that Crowley passed on to parsons. Crowley by the way thought Hubbard was a creep and told Parsons to stay away from him! Crowley had named Parsons as his (only) official successor to take over his sham-man empire because Crowley thoroughly believed in the marriage of science and religion hence Hubbards syncophantic tendencies to Crowley and parsons.
Crowleys A:.A:./OTO Mantra/slogan was "the goal of science the aim of religion"
Or something like that.
Peter Levenda is about as close to sane as conspiracy theorists come and he has a good summary of the secret space program, though his is the more "official" version while Weidners goes into the satanic rings of Saturn time warp theory.
My take on conspiracy theory is it is anthropological and functions within the same context as secret societies, mysticism and sorcery while ironically claiming to debunk or expose it. It is a negative deification of the corporate/military/religious hierarchy as demonic and beyond human. It's a pell mell (but natural) response to the hyper-stratification of knowledge in society and one of the prime indicators that our culture has entered into the post-industrial (dis)"information age".
I don't believe a bit of it but it's utterly and totally fascinating. It's sci-fi journalism as folk medicine.

I declare this thread "Fucking AWESOME"!
(Side note: I submit: Crowley was an asshole not so much because he wanted a goat to bang his wife BUT, snuffed the goat due to the fact he -the goat - wasn't interested in banging said wife. )

Jay Weidner claims the moon landing footage IS a NASA conspiracy movie.
According to the "secret space program" people, we went into space AND the moon landing was faked (by Kubrick) because they were using the tax funded space trips to try and get close to Saturn.
"Lucifer project" is a good NASA conspiracy, too.

That's funny. I have a friend who recently joined the OTO (sadly, yes they still exist).
I make fun of him by telling him he is going to go to Gnostic mass and "come to fucking a goat" (or worse) one of these days if he's not careful.
I've become interested in this stuff because I think it's the contemporary equivalent of "comparative religion". I would never ever join one of these things.
(unless they promised me mastery of the powers of the universe)
