But there is a mastermind: Satan himself. There are countless individuals and families who have sold their souls for power, money, privilege, fame and influence on earth. Many are in high positions of power in every imaginable industry. It’s why they seem to be so difficult to expose and take out. They have supernatural forces of darkness protecting them, with limitless power and money and influence.
Father Malachi Martin spoke on this back in the 1990s. You might find his radio interviews with the legendary Art Bell on Youtube or elsewhere. Terrifying stuff.
Satan has been at it forever.
We aren’t in a unique time.
Sociopaths have always risen to the top.
Satan’s spawn would be running things even if their overt ideologies are those you agree with. Satan is a clever dude.
What matters is the leading social caste and its cultural values held by “good” people, not the Satanic ones.
Years ago I read Martin's "Hostage To the Devil." Changed my life and gave me insights on some of the inexplicable things concerning human-committed evil. Great book and thoroughly frightening too. It has the ring of truth to it.
