[Vince Ferrer]

No Koch brothers?

[GeronL]

I started one, but none of the members even know they are in it.

Drink the Kykeon become Epoptes.
Know the disparity between seeing and hearing.

The Cult of Demeter existed for two thousand years
before Christianity and still it exists today.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— the Cathars rejected the bureaucracy of the Roman Catholic Church and refused to worship in temples or cathedrals. The Cathars also believed that men and women were equal—in Cathar communities, women often held important religious positions -—

They were a gnostic or proto-New Age cult that rejected marriage because they rejected the material world. The spread of their religion would have meant the literal end of society.

[Louis Foxwell]

Mine is so secret even I do not know anything about it.

I have sometimes wondered if there is a secret society of socialists who run this country from behind the scenes.

Also had a professor who really did seem to be in the know about a lot of things. He believed in a Satanic society affiliated with voodoo etc. who controlled large parts of the world especially in Africa, and South America and their descendants who live in the U.S., Canada etc.

The Kochs are part of the double secret societies.

[WKUHilltopper]

I’ve got an Oval-tine secret decoder ring. I’m in a secret society.

[GeronL]

Bump

[Walrus]

And the most prominent and powerful secret society of them all, the American mainstream media.

[Fungi]

The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by R. Gordon Wasson. It was a retreat involving the ingestion of a secret fungus, and it was only allowed once. The fungus was Claviceps purpurea, a fungus with chemical constituents that if consumed without control would result in death. In controlled measure, the ergot fungus would give you fantastic hallucinations. FYI

[GeronL]

I can see rejecting bureaucracy, but sounds like they went full retard

[Chode]

[2ndDivisionVet]

So they must be exterminated. Right?

[Carthego delenda est]

“I have sometimes wondered if there is a secret society of socialists who run this country from behind the scenes.”

Of course there is. Some of them operate in plain view. Others, though they wouldn’t refer to themselves as socialists, are certainly the ones who approach candidates and make them offers that they seem to be unable to refuse. Then all the sudden, those candidates seem to do a 180 on many positions they previously held. Then select media people, who are also members, praise the candidate for being so reasonable with their new position. Many would argue that the same secret society fields candidates in both major political parties. “All hail Moloch”... Ugh!

[Red_Devil 232]

Thuggees = common street criminal or antisocial pest.
Perfect description for our feral youths!

[yarddog]

The “No Homers” club.

They are allowed one.
