4um: The Satanic Temple Unveils a Massive Statue of Baphomet in Detroit

The unveiling of the 9-feet tall and 1.5 ton statue of Baphomet took place in Detroit and was dubbed “largest satanic event in History”.

On July 26th, the Satanic Temple unveiled a massive bronze statue of Baphomet sitting on a throne, complete with two children look up to him in admiration. The unveiling took place in an industrial building near Detroit River after attempts to have it installed near a Ten Commandments monument at the Oklahoma State Capitol have failed.

The unveiling was preceded by an event which gathered several hundred guests. Before entering the premises, guests were required to sign a contract “selling their soul to the Devil” – which was also a way of keeping protestors at bay. Attendees celebrated under red lights cheering “Hail Satan,” as bands and DJs performed on a stage beneath a big, red inverted cross. Officials of The Satanic Temple delivered speeches alongside a pair of shirtless men who held candles on both sides of the bronze statue.

Tickets to the event were sold from $25 to $75 and proceeds went to support abortion rights an important cause championed by the Temple. Its official website states:

Without going into the pro-choice / pro-life debate, I can confirm you one thing : The true satanists of this world are bent on child sacrifice. Practitioners of Black Magick (as represented by the inverted pentagram behind Baphomet) have always attributed to the blood sacrifice of children the greatest possible potency to accomplish rituals. While this might sound completely evil and crazy to regular people, these sacrifice HAVE happened and STILL happen, sometimes in the highest elite circles on Earth. So, while there’s a pseudo-political-liberal spin behind the actions of the Satanic Temple, the choice of this specific cause echoes the darkest of Satanic rituals.

One thing I found completely aberrant about this event is the mental gymnastics pulled by mass media to depict it as one big positive thing that is not about Satan. They say it is about political issues … although the event was organized by the “Satanic” Temple … and that the statue was of Satan … and that people were yelling “hail Satan”. For example, this article entitled Why a Satanic statue isn’t really about the devil does its best to make the event about everything except what it is truly about.

The unveiling and literal worshiping of a gigantic Baphomet Statue is therefore disguised as an event about “rationality” and touted a necessary step towards a more progressive society. Even if the concept of Satan is deeply theistic, the event was praised by atheists groups everywhere.

In short, the unveiling of this 9-foot tall Baphomet statue is a perfect example of deceiving the masses into accepting and welcoming the cult of the occult elite. Even if media spins the issue and pukes out paragraphs over paragraphs of pseudo-political diatribes to rationalize what is happening, the symbols do not lie. A statue of Baphomet was unveiled.

Baphomet has been the idol of secret societies for over a thousand years – since the time of the Knight Templars. Today’s secret societies descend from the Knight Templar and literally rule the world. They are behind the biggest atrocities humanity has ever committed, from unjust wars to underground child abuse rings to blood sacrifices to MKULTRA to things we don’t even know about. The occult elite is a product of multi-generational Satanic families and the philosophy they embrace allows them delve into their sadistic obsessions with any repercussions.

So, no, this is not about “rationality” and women’s rights. It is about unveiling a statue of Baphomet and making it acceptable to the masses.

Arkansas to consider placing Satanic Temple’s ‘Baphomet’ statue on Capitol grounds

The New-York-based religious group sent the letter via certified mail to the Arkansas Capitol Arts and Grounds Commission, asking permission to bring the large icon to the building’s grounds. Baphomet is a pagan idol originally linked to the Knights Templar, but is now more associated with an image of a "Sabbatic Goat" drawn by Eliphas Levi in 1856. It depicts Satan as a goat-headed figure with horns, hooves, wings and a beard, and has binary elements representing the "sum total of the universe," similar to yin and yang.

The petition is in response to an Arkansas law that allows a privately funded Ten Commandments monument to be erected on the Capitol grounds.

“Can’t wait to see Arkansas officials squirm as they decide whether to include atheist and Satanist displays on Capitol grounds or say no and risk a lawsuit,” blogger Hemant Mehta wrote on the Friendly Atheist about the expected upcoming debate over the statue.

Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-Arkansas) has already come out against both the Satanic Temple and a Hindu group whose petition for a monument of its own has already been rejected.

“We don't want just every group putting a statue on the capitol grounds. We want it to be exclusive; we want it to be reasoned. We want it to be reflective,” Hutchinson told reporters in July.

But the Satanic Temple argued that the state’s attempt to “preemptively head-off an Establishment Clause dispute by asserting the secular nature of the 10 Commandments” is a form of “viewpoint discrimination.”

“We think that any one religious monument is intolerable because it gives the impression that a single viewpoint is co-opted the power of the government,” Lucien Greaves of the Satanic Temple told KATV in response to Hutchinson’s remarks.

Arkansas lawmakers have argued that, for the purposes of the monument, the Ten Commandments are historically significant as a legal, rather than religious, document. The law, Senate Bill 939, in fact calls the Ten Commandments “an important component of the moral foundation of the laws and legal system of the United States of America and the State of Arkansas.”

However, the Satanic Temple argued that the law must open up the Capitol grounds to private donations, and thus the state “cannot engage in viewpoint discrimination and must reasonably allow for other donations of a similar nature,” the group said in a press release.

The group also cites the historical nature of its monument, which it says is “a memorial to the various historical witch hunts, and homage to the persecuted free-thinkers and ‘heretics’ who helped inform American secular jurisprudence.”

Meanwhile, Arkansas has already rejected another religious group’s petition for a monument of its own. In August, the secretary of state’s office denied a Universal Society of Hinduism request to place a privately funded statue of the Hindu Lord Hanuman, a god known for his strength and correct grammar, on the Capitol grounds.

“If permitted, we planned to make it big and weatherproof,” the society’s president, Rajan Zed, wrote in a statement. “Besides honoring the Arkansas Hindus, this statue would raise awareness of Arkansans about Hinduism, oldest and third-largest religion of the world with about one billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought.”

The society was told in a rejection letter written by Kelly Boyd, the chief deputy secretary of state, that it needs to take its case to the General Assembly for approval or to submit an application to the Arkansas State Capitol Arts and Grounds Commission. Boyd noted that her office was involved with the Ten Commandment monument only because the legislature had mandated its placement on the Capitol grounds.

The Baphomet statue was originally planned for the Oklahoma capitol building, until that state’s Supreme Court ruled that a Ten Commandments monument there was unconstitutional, the Satanic Temple said.

The controversial 9-foot bronze tribute, which weighs one ton, was unveiled to the public in Detroit, Michigan. It has been housed there since the end of July.

A rainbow coalition against Jews doesn't require Whites or Pro-Whites. It can be just as brown or anti-white as you like.

Well their idols are no longer a "secret" let alone the societies that adopt them.

Maybe this is why God is sending ISIS to do the harvesting of the wheat from the tares. It is not so much that we are seeing symbols of crosses in the skies but actually are swords. And it will be the mighty sword that will be the moment of truth for many people. When I see of such extreme weather as I have witnessed these past five years, I've come to realize that He really is sending us signs but many are not paying attention to heed His warnings. I believe the years following this year will be very challenging for us all.

U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY

There are those who mock God and refer to those who fear Him as "Jesus Freaks" and they take His name in vain almost on a daily basis. I hear it coming from their lips but I say nothing. I just pay attention to His signs because when He returns, it will be dark days upon us all. To those who say He returns to embrace us all and with peace is a lie. He returns to fulfill prophecy. Pray that you are worthy to escape His horrible wrath. God is patient and He is kind. He is love but He is not blind.
