Volume III. Chapter 11
Their Name is Legion
Ritual Murder: Myth or Reality?
Translated from the Russian
he woke up early. The morning cold streamed in through the open
window. The sun peered in, and one of its rays fell upon the
wall, revealing a myriad of dust motes in the fresh air. She
watched them drifting for a long time, as if spellbound.
She didn't know that a swarm of dust particles in a ray of light
is one of the favorite metaphors of medieval demonologists.
Innumerable spirits of earthly malice, carried over the earth.
They can be seen only in the Sun of Truth...
That evening at the rock concert someone thrust a slip of paper
into her hand on which the snout of a goat was drawn. Below the
goat, which looked at her from inside an inverted pentagram, was
an inscription: "The Black Legion." Below this was something
like an epigraph, and some more text. She began to read: "When he he reached the shore he encountered a man
who had been possessed by demons for a long time.
The unclean spirit tormented him so that they bound him in
chains, but he managed to break them... Jesus asked him "What is
your name?", and he answered "Legion!", because the demons in
him were numerous beyond counting. And he lived not in a house,
but in a coffin."
She turned the leaflet over in her hands ... and then thrust it into
her pocket.
A year and a half later they found her body on the outskirts of
Minsk buried under fallen leaves. The body had been drained of
blood and stabbed 270 times.
On the 22nd of March, 1684 in the Byelorussian village of Zverki
(near Zabludov, now part of Poland) a boy named Gabriel was
born. His parents, Peter and Anastasia, were devout Orthodox
Christians, unyielding against the persuasions of Catholics and
Uniates to abandon their faith.
On the 11th of March, 1690, according to the court records of the
Zabludov District, the boy was abducted from his house, where he
had been left unattended. In The Life of the Child-Martyr
Gabriel, published in 1912 in Slutsk, we read:
"A certain Jew living in the village of Zverki at the time, a
landholder by the name of Shutko, abducted him and took him away
to Bialystok. Jews from the Brest kagal who had gathered
there subjected the boy Gabriel to horrifying tortures. After
taking him to a dark cellar they began by stabbing him in the
side, to let blood. Then they crucified him on a cross set up in
a large vessel, stabbing him with various instruments all over his
body to drain him completely of blood. Having drained the last
drops, they took the body to a rye field and left it there."
Dogs found the body after three days and guarded it from birds
of prey. They buried the boy near the church.
Thirty years later the surrounding land was struck with a
horrible epidemic. Peasants sought to bury their children as
close as possible to Gabriel's grave, believing in his power of
heavenly intercession and patronage of deceased children. During
one burial Gabriel's grave was damaged, revealing his
imperishable remains. This happened in 1720.

St. Gabriel of Bialystok,
done to death by the Jews
in 1690

Two centuries later, after the revolution, the leaders of the
militant atheist regime tried to forbid the veneration of the
relics of St. Gabriel of Zabludov (He's also known as St.
Gabriel of Bialystok or Slutsk). The Minsk Diocese Bulletin
(No. 12) of 1917 quotes the press of the day:"...after a repeat search of the storerooms of
Trinity Monastery in Slutsk 5140 pogromist brochures were
found. In connection with this a decree was passed at the July
13th meeting of the local executive committee of soldiers', workers',
and peasants' deputies for the exile of the monastery's head,
Archimandrite Afanasy..."
What sort of "pogromist" literature was found at Trinity
Monastery at Slutsk, calling such wrath onto the head of its
abbot? The above source doesn't clarify this, but according to
church sources the offending brochures turned out to be the
The Life of the Holy Child Martyr Gabriel of Slutsk,
published by the monastery, where the boy's remains reposed(1).
In the library of the Byelorussian Exarchate there's a little
book, which was published at the beginning of the [20th -- WM] century. It contains a
detailed description of the wounds still visible on St. Gabriel's
relics... What's especially startling is the similarity to the
wounds on the body of Andrei Yushchinsky, killed in 1911 in Kiev.
In that case the court, while exonerating the suspect
Beiliss due to insufficient evidence,
nonethless determined the crime to be ritual in nature, doing so
in spite of intense pressure from world Jewry and its fierce
accomplices, whom publicist M.O.
Menshikov referred to as "Jewish Janissaries".
Conservative publicist M.O. Menshikov, editor of the newspaper
"Novoe Vremya", tried to warn the public of what would happen
once the Jews seized power in Russia. He was executed by the
Judeo-Bolsheviks in 1918 in front of his wife and children. His
wife's account of that event, entitled "How They Murdered My
Husband", makes harrowing reading.
|
The Beiliss Affair...
-Shhhh!
-What's this, are you an antisemite?! It's improper to even
mention such things!
-Not improper, dangerous. Haven't they threatened you yet?
-What nonsense. The whole business is a myth!
Around that time, at the beginning of the century, the Jewish Duma
deputy Neelovich read a triumphant declaration of 216 rabbis:
"Jewish teaching knows not one law permitting the treatment of
a non-Jew differently from a Jew."
At the same time the XI Zionist Congress in Vienna announced:
How dare they hurl this insane accusation at the Jewish people,
who've lived for three millennia in an atmosphere of the highest
culture, bestowing all humanity with humane laws and enlightening
the world with teachings of love for one's neighbor!
Oh well, let's say a few words, then, about Jewish "humaneness".
L.A. Tikhomirov wrote in Moskovskie Vedomosti that the
court recognized the crime to contain all the features of a
ritual murder. This was confirmed by a starets [monk -- WM] of the Pochayev Lavra, Father
Avtonom, a Jew by ancestry, who was
well-informed about the nature of the hasidim ritual sect.
After the revolution the new regime hurried to destroy records of
the Beiliss Affair in the Kiev court archives, but much striking
testimony has survived to this day.
Here's the conclusion of Master of Theology I.E. Pranaitis, the well-known
specialist in Talmudic and Cabbalistic literature whose expert
opinion for the Beiliss Affair was published in 1913 in St.
Petersburg:
In the Book of Zogar (Ch. II, 119, a) ... it's shown that the act
of murder must be committed by certain Cabbalistic methods: "As
for the death of amme haaretz (non-Jews), let it be with a
gagged mouth, as with animals, which die without voice or
speech... And he (the reznik, or ritual butcher -- Y.V.)
will give thankful praise, vowing to the Most Holy, may he be
praised, that every day his death must be ... as with the death
of cattle -- twelve punctures plus a cut of the knife, which
makes thirteen...
Compare this text with the coroner's examination of Andrei
Yushchinsky's body:
Before death Yushchinsky's mouth was gagged
(traces of damage to the mouth cavity by the teeth were found)
and thirteen puncture wounds were delivered to the area of the
right temple.
P.I. Gorsky-Platonov, the late professor of Hebrew at the Moscow
Religious Academy, saw in this Cabbalistic method of killing
cattle and people the additional aspect of blasphemy against a
Orthodox Christian ritual, namely the piercing of the
prosphora [communion bread --
WM] twelve times by the priest, who then impales the bread
a thirteenth time through the side with a special little spear,
pronouncing the same words from the Book of Isaiah as the Jewish
reznik does:
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
(Isaiah 53:7)
Thinker and writer V.V. Rozanov also "burned his hands" on the
Beiliss Affair. After writing: "The blood of Andrei Yushchinsky
cries out to the heavens", he was abandoned by his
publishers and literary associates.
|
During the Beiliss Affair Vasily
Rozanov noted also the configuration of the wounds.
Superimposed on an astrological table it provides a clue to the
secret of this murder. The secret is connected with the notion
of a scapegoat: The person condemned to sacrifice is like a
calf; his blood is spilled; his body the property of Azazelo.
We've come back to the Book of Zogar. (Mindash-Melech to p. 32 a,
Zogar): "The goat sent on the Day of
Purification to Azazelo" is the proof that the Jews must
rid the Earth of non-Jews.
I. Pranaitis dechphers the satanic practice of stabbing the body
of the sacrificial victim thusly: Responsibility is incurred
only for blood by shekhita (i.e., blood spilled by a
reznik in accordance with Jewish ritual practice). No
responsibility is assumed for blood shed by stabbing, tearing or
the draining of blood...
In the Book of Toseft (6,1) we read: "If
someone kills because he needs blood then he must not kill by
shekhita. What should he do? Either stab or tear."
For what occasions is blood necessary? According to the
tractates of the Jewish philosopher Maimonides, blood obtained by
the piercing of the body is a curative beverage. No, we're not
talking about the blood of animals. In a very rare
and little-known book by Rabbi Chaim
Wital, Ets-Chaim
(XVII Century), we read that "the murder of
goys and the drinking of their blood increases the
holiness of Israel for the Jews."
More than one hundred years ago Bishop Porphiry (Uspensky)
wrote:
"Once I was occupied with the study of the monstrosities of the
Jews... and I'm completely convinced that they're the sad remnant of
the time when they turned to the worship of Moloch and Remfan
(Saturn), by which they stigmatized themselves some 1500 years
before the Birth of Christ. Just as the Christian peoples were
held back by many pagan superstitions, Jews (naturally, not all
Jews) continue to spill the blood of infants and children from
other tribes according to the the ancient legend prescribing the
redemption of their whole race through human blood sacrifice."
Thus the Biblical legend, the one about the redemption of
original sin through the blood of the Savior, has degenerated,
through the millennia, into the diabolical parody of blood
sacrifice. (Great is the error of those who see in the Christian
sacrament of communion a mere reflection of pagan ritual. This
pagan notion is the very opposite of the truth.)
M.O. Menshikov noted one more aspect of the question:
Writers especially sympathetic to the Jews boldly announce: "Well,
what of it, if some unwashed hasidim actually did cut up a
Christian boy? Among Christians are those who've engaged in
ritual evildoing too... Monstrosities can be found in all
religions." I'll answer by saying that there are monstrosities
and there are monstrosities. Are Christians who serve black
masses normal? One can't assert that Christians who've gone off
the deep end in this regard are acting in accordance with their
laws, but with the Jews, alas, one may, for the Talmud prescribes
all manner of crimes in relation to Christians(2).
V.I. Dahl (1801-1872), author of the famous dictionary,
researched Jewish ritual murder at the behest of the Tsarist
government.
|
Decked up in red bunting, satanism is trying, in an atmoshpere of
historical and spiritual amnesia, to drive out the very term
"ritual murder" from the lexicon, the spoken language and
even Dahl's dictionary(3).
The notion of ritual murder is absent in the Criminal Code. How,
then, is one to classify a recent crime which took place in the
Moscow Botanical Garden, a favorite spot for satanist gatherings?
It began when a 17-year old girl refused to participate in an
initiation ritual dedicated to the devil. Then one youth heard a
voice: "Kill! Kill!" After strangling her with a cord he tore
the cross from her dead body and ran off. (The murderer got
involved with satanism after a pagan "healer" once cured him of a
disease.)
Here's another, earlier occurrence. The Byelorussian satanist
Baranovsky liked to sacrifice cats to his favorite idol. After
666 such cat sacrifices, he moved on to human ones(4). He dispatched his victims with multiple
stabbing. Now in confinement, Baranovsky continues to openly
profess satanism and conduct black masses in prison.
At the beginning of the 90's many were shocked by the murder of a
schoolgirl in Cherkessk. The young people who committed it did
so in an attempt to call up the devil. A man in black, appearing
to one of them in a vision, ordered him to bring a knife into
action. The participants drank the blood of their victim. All of
these ritual elements were discussed in detail in the court
trial, but the evildoers were convicted of ordinary murder(5).
In the current case in Minsk the prosecutor K.A. Batsilovsky is
insisting on the "banality" of the murder. By the way, it
this really all that important? We'll talk about that later.
For the time being we'll recount what in fact happened.
And so, Minsk tenth-grader V. called her friend L. and agreed to
meet him the next day. L. informed N., with whom L. was
acquainted for a long time but knew only by first name, of this.
On the next day all three met at the underground station. They
bought beer and wine and drove out of the city. In the woods,
after a few drinks, N. began to make passes at the girl. When he
was met with refusals, he started beating her, taped her mouth
shut (he just "accidentally" happened to have the tape with him),
and began stabbing her with a knife (around forty stabs, in the
region of the head). Then L. took a few stabs at the already
lifeless body.
A "banal" crime(6)? There's one
unusual detail, however. The killers and their victim all
belonged to a satanic cult.
The girl was born into a well-known and well provided-for family.
She might have been called successful. If only her mother hadn't
practice what was once called "black magic" in the old days...
A year and a half ago V. heard of the existence of the Black
Legion sect. Its leaflets with an inverted pentagram make very
specific promises to youthful Byelorussians:
The Legion will arise, filling the heavens with a cloud of dust!
We'll consign to the flames all that you've created thanks to
your Lying God. We'll dance on the ashes of your rotted-out
churches and have wild orgies on your graves, under burning
crosses...
(The three signatures which follow speak volumes:
Beelzebub, Astarot, Merlin.)
The "Black Legion" leaflet which changed V.'s life forever
|
Soon V. was initiated into the sect with the rank of witch.
Documentary video material, shot in a Minsk basement, recorded
the event. Walls of red brick, covered with "666"'s, inverted
crosses and goat's heads. Lighted candles. Young people in
black masks. They place a peeping kitten on the sacrificial
altar in the middle of an inverted pentagram. A knife appears.
They pour the unfortunate victim's blood into a cup.
Finally they bring in the girl, naked. She's placed in the
center of another inverted pentagram on the floor. On her back
they draw an inverted cross in the kitten's blood. They read
"Our Father" backwards... In conclusion, they announce that the
new sister is dedicated to the spirit of the she-devil Lilith.
"O, Satan," intones the leader. "We've brought you a victim!
Send down your spirit to us... Let him announce his presence by
blowing out the candle.
One of the candles flickers and goes out. All look at each other
in silence.
-Did someone come in?
-Impossible!
-But the candle's gone out!
Odysseus poured the blood of his victims into a pit, and the
spirits greedily rushed in in order to receive strength and reveal
themselves. Tiresius' ghost got drunk on blood and answered
Odysseus...
The same goes for the Cabbalists: They believe that life fluids,
escaping from the blood, congeal in a formless mass above a person
covered in blood. An experienced Cabbalist can turn him into a
warlike, malevolent robot which he can manipulate to his ends.
But the silly teenagers lost their nerve. They stood there and
looked at each other.
After the murder they would discover a cup, knife with three
"sixes" and other ritual objects in V.'s apartment.
Relatives and friends of the girl had seen the objects. They
knew that she was obsessed with her computer and would play some
sort of violent game for hours on end. But they regarded this all
as typical for a modern teenager.
In the meanwhile a frightful orgy of symbols and rituals danced
on the black screen in front of her. A virtual black mass. Such
services are provided on the Internet by the Temple of Seth(7)...
And then ... then she would wander the dark hallways practically
every night with flickering torch in hand... Disquieting
rustlings emerged from the cold walls... Dreadful intimations
exhausted the soul... And suddenly a rumbling. Horrors! The
horned creature appeared, belching hot red plasma which
threatened to engulf her. The girl shuddered. Shuddered each
time, though it was just an amusement. The computer game DOOM.
At every level it becomes harder and harder to fight the
monster(8). The balls of fire hit
their target ever more often. She was burned by rays, cut up by
swords. Finally her computer life score reached zero. Could she
guess that her virtual death would soon be followed by a real
one?
To her, the name "DOOM" referred only to the deaths of those
disgusting creatures which she fired at so adroitly with her
electronic blaster. Other possible implications of the game's
title was something she preferred not to think about...
In the real world the disgusting murder of animals at Black
Legion gatherings began to repel V. She left for a more
peaceable sect, the "Heart of the Dragon".
This pagan order exists in the Byelorussian capital on a
completely legal footing. It's registered at the Minsk Youth
Palace as a hobby organization dedicated to the revival of
ancient rituals and pagan holidays. Members of the "Heart of the
Dragon" easily combine the organization of Medieval tourneys with
political opposition activities. How convenient! Just try to
lay a finger on such an organization and what a hue and cry
you'll hear! Cries of "religious intolerance" and "violation of
human rights", at a bare minimum.
Incidentally, the "religious tolerance" of these people is itself
extremely selective. Recently a certain Byelorussian "interfaith
association" sent a letter to Metropolitan Filaret:
In the Byelorussian Orthodox church calendar of 1994 under the
heading "Byelorussian Orthodox shrines" on pages 98-99 the life
of the martyr Gabriel of Bialystok is described. This
description contains the openly anti-semitic accusation against
Jews of the boy's ritual murder.
Such false allegations lead to the inflaming of antisemitism and
aid the appearance of prejudice and intolerance toward Jews in
our republic. They've been repeatedly condemned by leading
members of the Christian church and the World Council of
Churches as completely fabricated and unprovable.
In this connection we ask you to ensure the removal of the
above-mentioned slanders from future editions of the Byelorussian
Orthodox calendar.
The "concern" is clearly selective here. The abovementioned
organization hasn't been observed, for some reason, in the
struggle against satanic sects. Maybe such sects fit its
definition of "interfaith" organizations?
Byelorussian neo-pagan organizations enjoy especially
"warmhearted" relations with their devil-worshiping counterparts
in Norway(9). The Scandinavian rock
group "Bursum" calls for the revival of blood ritual paganism and
militant atheism in order to wreak revenge on Christianity. Its
followers have burned down churches in Norway, Poland, Denmark and
England. One member of the cult, Graf Grishnak, is now serving a
sentence in Norway for a ritual murder he committed. He
corresponds with his Byelorussian fans from prison, inspires them
and gives mentorly advice:
"The time's come to prove your loyalty to the cult of the Great
Prince with more forceful action(10).... Our brother Mad Eugene will deliver the
necessary 2 kg. of TNT... That chapel will be the requisite
first step of your initiation. Don't forget that we'll be
satisfied only with absolute success."
This letter was recently seized during the search of a Minsk
satanist detained by police. Graf Grishnak will be pleased.
Modern satanism loves to dress up in pagan masks. Even its
places of ritual worship are borrowed from ancient pagans: the
intersection of forest roads, islands, places where rivers flow
into lakes...
Satanist holidays are also cribbed from the pagan calendar: the
days of Winter and Summer solstice, the 8th of March (part of
ancient Judaic tradition), the eve of July 7th (Ivan Kupala), and
the eve of May 1st, Walpurgis Night...
These festivals are always accompanied by death. In the spring
and Summer of 1998 nine child corpses turned up in Minsk. As
usual, the public found it more comfortable to write them off to
'domestic violence'. Six of these murders, however, were
committed on the above-named holidays (two of them on Walpurgis
Night, and two on the 8th of March)(11).
Every child done to death by the christophagi of our day
is one more attempt to kill the Savior. (No wonder Aleister
Crowley wrote that in order to do highest spiritual work (!) one
must always select a victim possessed of the highest and purest
power. The most suitable object is an innocent and
mentally-developed child of the male sex.)
Yes, there's more to neo-paganism than just the enchanting songs
of Lel(12)!
We must mention one more holiday, a very popular one in the West:
All Souls' Day, or Halloween. At the end of October, when all
progressive humanity was preparing to celebrate it, a knife
plunged again and again into V.'s body. At the very same time,
as if providing musical accompaniment to the murder, the rock
group "Cannibal Corps" was performing at the Minsk Circus.
Moving jerkily, the musicians wandered the stage dressed as
corpses. Among the crowd someone was passing out leaflets of
that very same Black Legion with a threat aimed at Christians:
"Your god is dead! And you're going to die
along with him!"
However it's the satanists who die first, as a rule. They die
because they stand nearer than others to him who is known as the
father of lies and murderer from time immemorial. The recent
suicide of Yuri S. shook all who had known the fifteen year-old
youth. As recorded in the psychiatric expert opinion conducted
after his death, he was fatally struck by a train at 3 o'clock on
the 765th kilometer of the Ratomka-Zhdanovich line. The
conductors report that they saw the youth sitting on the
right-of-way. As the train approached he suddenly threw himself
on the right rail, grabbing it and putting his head on it.
There was no reaction to the train's warning signal...
From the investigative materials to that case: "The most important fact is the sharp change in
behavior during the last year of the deceased's life.
Instability increased, mood swings became more marked. His
circle of interests and friends grew narrower and narrower...
The nature of his entertainment changed: He began to prefer
heavier rock music, got involved in satanism."
The above-quoted letter ordering the burning down of a chapel
ended with the words: "To refuse the action,
even under force of objective circumstances, will be interpreted
as weakness and betrayal of the Laws given us by the Fallen
Angel. You know the price of failure." As we see from
V.'s murder, vengeance for failure or an attempt to leave the
sect is not just an empty threat.
So what unites the crimes which we've detailed above? In
Cherkessk they killed a girl while invoking the devil, brought
her to the sacrificial altar for the right of his personal
acquaintance... Fifteen year-old V., by all accounts, was
punished for abandoning the Prince of Darkness' service...
And whose voice gave the order to kill the 17 year-old Moscow
girl as her murderer read an incantation(13)? In all of the above cases we're dealing
with intercourse with unworldly beings, with the calling into
one's soul of entities about which it is said: their name is
legion. And for thousands of years ritual has served as the
means for establishing such connections.
There's murder and there's ritual. When we put them together we
get ritual murder(14).
Here it might be appropriate to ask ourselves a question: in
what state do ritual murderers usually act?
- More often than not under the influence of alcohol, when the
drunken demon rules the man.
- Under narcotics: The mystical underside of drug addiction is
well-explored in the works of Castaneda, for example.
- Under computer-virtual influence. The spectacle developing on
the screen causes shock or attracts the attention. At that very
moment the horned one makes his entrance.
- Under the influence of the demon which enters the person during
pagan "healings", removal of "hexes", "encoding", and so forth.
- Finally, cold-blooded "idealist" satanists, those who've called
up the legion consciously, preside over blood rituals. Some of
them are hereditary satanists. The majority of them belong to
the tribe which circumcises, thus destroying the divine wholeness of
the body, incurring, according to philosopher Georgy Yemelianenko, a
metaphysical wound. This wound has produced a fearful
legacy, spanning the yawning millennia... Among the "black ones"
are gurus and those who receive the calling as a gift through
a post-mortem handshake, clothing or other items of a deceased
master.
These "free" and proud people are in fact moved by a will other
than their own.
This phenomenon is well known to science. In the legal
psychiatry textbook we read:
"Disturbances of will are also those impulsive conditions
characterized by the appearance of an insurmountable desire to
commit one or another action without forethought. It's customary
to underline several impulsive conditions: Catatonic impulsive
behavior is characterized above all by senseless, unmotivated,
aggressive, and destructive action. The sufferers often experience
a feeling of submission to an alien will (the so-called Kandinsky
syndrome)."
Theophanes the Hermit once described how satan entered Judas:
"Satan entered because there was an open door. Our soul is
usually closed. The Lord Himself stands and knocks, so that
we'll open. How does he get us to open? Through sympathy,
predisposition, agreement... Don't allow any satan-pleasing
thoughts, don't sympathize with them, don't be predisposed to
their influence and don't agree with them. Satan will come up,
walk around, and then leave: You see, he's been given no real
power over anyone(15)."
Satanism as a conscious cult phenomenon and the mass, unconscious
satanization of society have one and the same essence. The
essence lies simply in the quantity of devils per capita. These
beasts are driven out by fasting and prayer. The methods of
warfare against satanism have been known for a long time.
Recently in one of Byelorussia's prison colonies one letter to
the outside world from the satanist Baranovsky, who's serving a
25-year term for a ritual murder, was intercepted. It was
addressed to one of V.'s killers, and it's essence was the
following: Don't lose heart. They'll give you 25 years, you'll
get out early and then we'll work together. I've cobbled
together a group here; we perform black masses.
V.'s mother is inconsolable. She recalls how her daughter often
read the Bible toward the very end, seeking an answer in Holy
Scripture: how to fight the devil.
What did the girl fear most? Not those horned monsters which
really do climb out of the computer screen when appearing to
enthusiasts of the game of DOOM? Yes, she was up to hear ears in
an ugly infinity of virtual horrors.
The computer, her neo-pagan idol, demanded one constant
sacrifice: the precious time needed by God for the salvation of
the soul. By offering it up to the electronic moron, she made a
victim of herself, her immortal soul, long before her physical
death!
The paganist-suicide jumped from the ritual cliff not simply into
the abyss, but into the bottomless pit of hell. Her fall was
just as horrible, but less noticeable, taking place in conditions
of misleading comfort so characteristic of the end of the seventh
day.
She began reading the Bible, with which her acquaintance with the
Black Legion began! She recalled the epigraph on the leaflet.
It turned out to be a free paraphrase of a passage from Chapter
Eight of the Gospel According to Luke:
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with
chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of
the devil into the wilderness.)
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
In the leaflet this is where the story had ended... The girl
began to read further:
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
into the deep.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to
enter into them. And he suffered them.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine:
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and
were choked.
So there's your mighty legion! The devils plead not to be sent
into eternal torment in the abyss. And without the Lord's
permission they can't enter even a swine, much less a man!
She read and wept. Was it too late already?
Where is her unfortunate soul today? Will the intercession of
St. Gabriel help her(16)? The saint
who to this day witnesses to eternal life?
After the revolution The veneration of St. Gabriel's remains was
no easy undertaking, and the traditional formula "done to death
by the Jews" unpleasantly disturbs the mass consciousness even
now. Today his relics are located in Bialystok, on Polish
territory, where they continue to work wonders. Especially
striking is the testimony of Grodno priest Vladimir Urlin, who
twice collected fragments for relocation to Byelorussia. The
second time he discovered that a place on the shoulder where a
fragment had earlier been removed had grown over with new flesh.
"O glorious wonder, through which the silenced lips of a child
unmask Jewish cruelty of heart, the flow of whose blood blocks a
flood of lawlessness, calls us to sobriety, the constant reminder
of death and the fearless witness of truth(17)."

The remains of the child-martyr Gabriel were once located in
Moscow, and later moved to Grodno. Now they're on Polish
territory. The Bulletin of the Minsk Eparchy of 1992 informs us:
September 21 (September 8, old style). The Day of Birth of Our
Lady, Mother of God, the Virgin Mary.
In the morning Metropolitan Filaret, Patriarch's Exarch of All
Belarus together with the Archbishop of Grodno and Volokovyssk
Valentin and Bishop of Pinsk and Luninetsk Stefan served an
akathistus for the child-martyr Gabriel of Bialystok at
the vessel containing his relics in the Cathedral of the Holy
Shroud in Grodno. Then, with the singing of the troparion
for the Mother of God the child-martyr's relics were taken by
cross procession to the Mother of God Church in Grodno Monastery,
where the Metropolitan served Holy Liturgy accompanied by the
above-named clergy together with Archbishop of Bialystok and
Gdansk (Polish Orthodox Church) Savva, Bishop of Novogrudsk and
Lidsk Konstantin, various clergy from the Eparchy of Grodno and
other clerical guests. After the liturgy and prayer, prelates,
clergy and numerous laymen accompanied the holy relics to the
Belarus-Poland border, where they were transferred into the hands
of representatives of the Polish Orthodox Church, for relocation
to Bialystok."

It appears that under Stalin the Soviet authorities made attempts
to counteract the dark legacy of the Jewish Pale of Settlement.
Here's what Z. Sheinis wrote in his book Provocation of the
Century about the end of the Stalin epoch:
"At that time my wife Marina was closely acquainted with an
employee from the political division of the newspaper
Pravda Galina Martysheva. Together with her husband
Andrey Zemskov, Martysheva graduated from the Social Sciences
Academy of the Communist Party Central Committee...
It was springtime, with Russian Easter approaching. Zemskov was
on assignment in Minsk at the time. Upon his return from the
Byelorussian capital he recounted how the Jews of Minsk prepare
for Passover: "They killed Russian children and made matzoh using
their blood." This conversation took place in my wife's presence,
and since she's an Armenian with a Russian mother they were
completely frank with her. In reply to Marina's sharp reprimand
of Zemskov for spreading such monstrous slanders reminiscent of
the Middle Ages, the Central Committee member and Doctor of
Historical Science angrily parried her remark, repeating that the
rumors are absolutely true and high-placed party members in Minsk
can confirm them.
A new Beiliss Affair was clearly brewing in Moscow...
The deportation of around 3 million Jews was to take place right
after the trial of the doctor-murderers. Freight cars were
already waiting on rail lines surrounding Moscow. But, according
to Stalin's plan, the operation demanded additional theoretical
preparation."
[Stalin died (it's likely he was murdered)
before he had a chance to carry out his "final deportation"
of the Jewish question -- WM.]
At the time, in the 50's, historians noted one very significant
detail: among the arrested Jewish doctors figured the names of
the hereditary hasidic ritual murderers Entinger and Landau,
both involved in the Beiliss Affair.

V.I. Dahl
[(1801-1872) Dahl is Russia's equivalent of
Noah Webster. His dictionary, in the original edition, is still
in print and in wide use today. -- WM],
author of the famous Interpretive Dictionary of the
Russian Language, served as a special commissions clerk under
the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In connection with
ever-increasing reports of mysterious crimes in Russia's western
gubernii, where the hasidim were particularly active,
Dahl put together a stunning document under the aegis of Minister
Sazonov. It was entitled Investigations of Murder of
Christian Children by Jews and the Use of Their Blood, and
contained descriptions of 136 proven incidents in various
countries over the centuries.

Satanic cat sacrifice is quite common, and can be observed
in the Severodonsk Affair as well. But even here the devil has
the last laugh over his adherents. There was a famous incident
which took place in Alistair Crowley's "accursed abbey" in
Sicily. During a black mass the Oxford poet Raul Loveday drank
cat's blood and died on the spot. Crowley was soon expelled from
Italy: All incantations were in vain.

This process is taking place all over the world. According to
Interpol, more than 100 known ritual murders take place every
year in the US, Canada and Western Europe. They range from human
sacrifice to heart attacks brought about by invoking the devil.

It may be comforting to think so. How many deaths by stabbing,
strangulation and beating to death are written off to the cliche
formula: "society's simply gone mad". But this most banal of
diagnoses describes the essence of many crimes.
Strictly speaking, there are no "usual" murders. No murder
happens merely according to the scheme "man on man". There's
always a third, hidden, presence. So it has been since the crime
of Cain.

T. Dumansky notes: "The names of the
ever-more complicated stages of the game are characteristic:
Stage 1: Knee Deep in Dead; Stage 2: The Shores of Hell; Stage 3:
Inferno; Stage 4: Thy Flesh Consumed"
Olesia Nikolayeva writes: "Reality (absence
of reality) is replaced by virtuality, that is pure make-believe,
which takes on characteristics of anti-world, which is perceived
by the agent of Seth as a certain Presence. Virtual reality in
Japanese translates as "intimate presence". This presence,
however, exists in a zone of nothingness, in the substantial
sense, the zone of shadows and death. There's no doubt that
demons inhabit this infernal world."

By the way, the Americans are not far behind. A search of one
satanist detained by police turned up literature with the
following passage: "The High Priest of our
sect, pastor of the Satanic Church of the Thirteenth Apostle in
America, Brian Libby, killed 13 Christian preachers with his own
hands."
The text contains unusual orthography: every letter "T" is in
the form of an inverted cross, the "tree of death".

Demonologists of the Middle Ages referred to the demon Astarot
(the male embodiment of Astarte) as
the "Great Prince". Johann Wier wrote in the Seventeenth
Century: "The great and mighty prince appears
in the form of a hideous angel, mounted on a infernal dragon and
holding an adder in his right hand."

Sergei Nilus formulated: "Paganism gave the
devil his due, but Christ came and drove the prince of darkness
away." However, new pagan masks have joined the infernal
carnival of the end of time. The wave began in Europe at the
turn of the 20th Century with the creation of the order of
druids. In his book The
Destruction of Masonry by Unmasking Its Secrets, General
Erich Ludendorff (once a high-placed Mason himself) wrote
authoritatively about the Masonic-Cabbalistic inspiration behind
the druidic movement, which he considered to be merely an
affiliate of Freemasonry. During the Third Reich investigations
conducted by the SS and Gestapo came to the same conclusion
regarding the origins of German neo-paganism. The same thing is
happening in our day. In conversations with neo-pagan
intellectuals, who are disturbed above all, of course, by the
divine origin of Christ, one discovers that these "Russian
patriots" have received their main "argumentation" for their
polemics against Christianity from the rabbis.
THE CABBALA HAS ABSORBED ALL THE POISON OF THE PRE-CHRISTIAN ERA
AND NOW RETURNS IT INTO THE WORLD IN MEASURED DOSES. NEW
DESTRUCTIVE CULTS MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE IN JUST THIS FASHION.
HOWEVER, HISTORICAL PAGANISM AND NEO-PAGANISM ARE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT THINGS.
Before the appearance of Christ pagan cults contained that
portion of the truth which ancient Man was capable of
comprehending. If that were not the case, then ancient Man
couldn't have miraculously survived as he did, defenseless among
predatory beasts and the threats of cold and hunger. We have no
right to call our pagan forebears devil-worshipers. But this
situation changed radically after the appearance and Resurrection
of Christ. Now all may know of the Lord, and he who calls
himself a pagan today is consciously resisting Truth.
Neo-paganism is a modern embodiment of satanism.
"As the study of mythologies of various
ancient tribes shows ... the general religious line of
development of pagan peoples was away from monotheism to
polytheism, and then to the 'integration' of deities into the
framework of pantheism, 'all-god-ism'", writes Father
Timofey in his book Two Cosmogonies. "In other words, we're dealing with the same kind
of entropic process occurring in nature, with the degradation of
religious consciousness. We should not forget that pagan peoples
preserved certain elements of knowledge of general human history,
including elements of cosmogonic structure which were in
agreement with the Bible. We'll refer to them henceforth as
elements of Adamite first-knowledge."
One more principally important consideration: Neo-pagans speak
of the Judaic origins of Christianity. Yes, we heed the Word
from the lips of the God-inspired prophets of Israel, are
inspired by the deeds of the Apostles.
Metropolitan Antony Khrapovitsky wrote: "Say
to one of our peasants: 'Don't curse the Jews. You see, the
Holy Virgin and all the Apostles were Jews.' How will he answer?
'That's not so,' he'll say. 'They lived at a time when Jews were
Russians.' He knows perfectly well that the Apostles didn't
speak Russian... but he wants to express that accurate idea that
at that time Jews believing in Christ were of the same true faith
and Church which the Russian people were later to enter, and away
from which modern Jews have fallen..."
What about our "super-Russian" opponents? The rabbinical
underside of their anti-Orthodox arguments is obvious.
Neo-pagans feed their new-baked idols with the dandruff from
hasidic forelocks. Buckets of it. Laboring day and night.
In this vein one writer and contemporary of the revolution
Boris Sadovsky wrote the following anecdote:
"Isaaker and Shokolad are having lunch in the former Governor's
office.
- To your health, Osip.
- To yours, Moishe. Such a business.
- Oy vey. Seventy years of this revolutionary business. Mazzini,
Bakunin, Garibaldi, Herzen: They all worked for us! Now it's
all over. The Russian intelligentsia has rotted to the core.
The aristocracy, phew! There is none, and the peasants are
like sheep going to slaughter, may God be praised!
- Only I'm afraid, Moishe, that the Orthodox faith will be harder
to finish off than the Tsar was.
- Nonsense! The Church without the Tsar is a zero. It was held
together only by him. The cult will die out in a few years.
- Not so soon, I don't think.
- With these people! We can force these cattle to bow down to
Perun again...
So the choice is clear: to be either with the Prophet Daniel, or
with the lion of the synagogue Maimonides.

Theophanes the Hermit had the following to say about voices:
"We've written about the voices which some
hear. The Holy Fathers say not to pay attention to them. Don't
delve into the reasons behind them. (Many of those afflicted by
voices today consider them to be a form of psychotronic terror - Y.V.)
Act like this yourself and teach others to do likewise... Lack of
attention will shame the enemy, and he'll leave you alone.

"People overly disturbed by the term
ritual murder' call these crimes manifestations of 'common
cruelty'. They speak of the lack of correspondence between the
evidence and the 'classical signs' of a black mass",
notes police colonel A. Khvylia-Olinter. "However none other than Alistair Crowley provides
evidence against this position. In his book, now freely on sale
in Moscow, "Master Theon" writes plainly: 'Depending upon the
magical purpose, impalement, drowning, beheading, crushing,
poisoning and burning can all be considered ritual acts.' He
also recommends the eating of the still-quivering organs of a
recently killed victim."
Is it really all that important whether the murder we're
investigating is ritual or ordinary in nature? Well, aren't the
motives of any crime important? And how many of them remain
unsolved because the investigators followed a false trail! Can
we afford to ignore the following fact, for example: According
to unofficial data of the Byelorussian Defense Ministry, in 1997
alone three soldiers in the Byelorussian Army committed suicide
under the influence of destructive sects.

St. Gregory of Palama wrote about disembodied souls: "...angels are determined according to their nature
to serve the Creator and have one function: to remain under His
power. Power to rule over creatures lower in rank is not given
to them...
Since the evil one has no earthly power, he has to steal his
power; therefore it's clear that he's not created to rule the
Earth."

Here it would be appropriate to cite from an open letter to
Alexander Men by Metropolitan Antony (Melnikov). The topic is an
interview given by Father Alexander and published in a
samizdat journal "Jews in the USSR" in 1975. The
following passage is connected with his relationship to St.
Eustratios, crucified by Judaic fanatics in 1097, and St.
Gabriel: "Holy Martyr Gabriel was a ten-year
old boy who lived in the village of Zverki in Grodno Gubernia. A
landholder in that gubernia, a Jewish fanatic, abducted, together
with his associates, the boy and brutally murdered him. The
murderers were later exposed and convicted according to the law.
And the relics of St. Gabriel were later discovered to be
imperishable, possessed of a special power by the grace of God...
Is there anything anti-Jewish in the circumstances of the death
of this saint? No. We're talking about a victim of religious
fanaticism, the presence of which among Jews you don't deny,
Father Alexander, when you say that you find Jewish chauvinism
odious. Why not answer the Zionist in this light, then? But you
immediately begin talking about ritual murder. What's happened
with you? No one even asked you about ritual murder, but you
begin saying that the 'ritual libel' against the Jews has never
been legally confirmed in the scandalous cases of the past. This
allows you to cast a shadow of slander on Sts. Gabriel and
Eustratios and announce flatly: "I hope they'll be decanonized",
that is excluded from the host of saints of our Church. For
what? For faithfulness to Christ and suffering for His sake?
Continuing your train of logic we'd have to decanonize the
martyred Archdeacon Stephen, a Jewish Christian killed back in
the First Century by his own relatives, Judaic fanatics. Going
further, we'd have to decanonize all those who in one way or
another suffered from Jewish fanaticism, beginning with Jesus
Christ Himself, given over by the Jews to be crucified.
On the other hand, when you, Father Alexander, so unexpectedly
spoke up about ritual murder, your hat, as the saying goes,
caught fire. I don't want to imply that you personally have any
relation to the phenomenon, but you must be able to guess at and
maybe even know of its existence. It's very telling that you
don't directly deny the existence of ritual murder in Judaism,
merely citing the fact that certain Russian theologians themselves
didn't support the accusations. But you also can't be unaware
that where conscious worship of the devil occurs ritual murder is
a possibility, even a certainty..."
