122. Richard Spence: Secret Societies, the Masons and the Purpose of Ritual

Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan and Dr. Richard B. Spence discuss the following.

Dr. Spence is a Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Idaho. His academic specialties include Russian history, espionage, secret societies and occultism. His major published works are BORIS SAVINKOV: Renegade on the Left; TRUST NO ONE: The Secret World of Sidney Reilly; SECRET AGENT 666: Aleister Crowley; BRITISH INTELLIGENCE AND THE OCCULT, and WALL STREET AND THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, 1905-1925. And he is the author and presenter of three video series: THE REAL HISTORY OF SECRET SOCIETIES; CRIMES OF THE CENTURY; and SECRETS OF THE OCCULT, which can be found at wondrium.com/collections/the-great-courses.

Discovering secret societies; teaching about them in a college course.

Kris was told by his father that, “The Vietnam War is all about drugs. There are these secret societies behind it all. And communism is just a sham. To them it’s all just a big game.”

KING KILL 33 = author James Shelby Downard’s depiction of President Kennedy’s public slaughter as a mass ritual, traumatizing, mind-controlling piece of psychological warfare against the people; THE LOST WRITINGS OF JAMES SHELBY DOWNARD, which discusses the twining of the Southern Masons and the police, even the Ku Klux Klan, in many states and jurisdictions.

Another author reported about kids taken to Florida to be trafficked into basically slavery and to be used “in certain rituals you might say.”

Freemasonry in Czarist Russia (which seems to have driven the Russian Revolution). How members help each other (while acting as adversaries in public life).

History is just a narrative. Reality is in many ways this barely controlled chaos (of which we try to make sense).

Kris looked at “CIA-drugs/narcotics” and “CIA, the dark side,” which is mind control, the first level of which is trance, which effects everybody differently. And then you have ritual. (The nature of occult rituals is to bend reality in your favor; energy must be exchanged; something has to be transformed.) And then trauma (to split someone’s personality).

The Kennedy assassination was a psychological hit on the mind of the whole nation. It was obviously done by people in the shadows who got away with it, which told the nation, “You aren’t important. We’re the people in control.” The Kennedy assassination has affected the psyche of America very, very strongly.
