The Most Dangerous Book in the World: 9/11 as Mass Ritual

Rate this book
In this shocking exposé, investigative researcher and author S. K. Bain explores the inconsistencies, coincidences, and historical precedents of the events of September 11, 2001, and reconstructs an occult-driven script for a Global Luciferian MegaRitual. Bain argues forcefully that the framework for the entire event was a psychological warfare campaign built upon a deadly foundation of black magick and high technology. The book details a view of the sinister nature of the defining event of the 21st century and opens a window into the vast scope of the machinery of oppression that the author asserts has been constructed around us.

I don't know which part of the Dumbest Book in the World was crazier: when he tried to link Ozzy Osbourne to 9/11 through Crowley and flight 93, or that he left a 2012 doomsday prediction in a post-2012 edition.

I am currently reading but have to give it 5 stars already. There is more truth than not, whether you are willing to believe it depends on your exposure to and being able to decipher the facts. Most of us are victims of the "normalcy bias" and refuse to see what is right in front of our eyes. That is why the secret societies have been able to work out their plan right in front of us because we refuse to see the pieces fit and changes the reality that we thought was real. We've been conditioned to dismiss such things as insane conspiracy theory, when in fact these theories are far from insane and clearly smack of the truth, but can we handle the truth? However, most are schooled learning half truths and out and out lies. Most history has been revised to include scant pieces of the truth changed or altered by the shadow government.

Fascinating and worthwhile read but left me wanting more, however, not for the reason the author wasn't thorough or engaging; he was but this is incredibly fascinating information with unusual connections to distant times and places and the most unsavory folks to have ever lived--incredibly interesting.

Symbology is an area that would benefit us on many levels to understand and identify as it is used to solicit a particular action/response from us and we are not even aware of how we're pupeteered by it. Our schools are unsatisfactory institutions of education and don't teach people how to critically think; we are becoming drones.

This is an important book. The writer has extrapolated his thesis from Michael Hoffman's "Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare", which is a must read, and William Ramsey's "Prophet of Evil: Aleister Crowley, 9/11, and the New World Order". This book will take you down a path you may be afraid to go. The ugly truth about the evil that was 9/11 is far more ugly and evil than most people could ever allow themselves to believe.

So compelling, it's either 100% true, or only 90% with the remaining distractions intended as part of a disinformation campaign to make the revelation of the actual truth seem the product of evil and psychosis too flagrant to be believed. But the truth is: the people who run this country are too evil and flagrantly psychotic to be believed.

I have some experience with the Golden Dawn system, but not enough to have noticed the things this author did, with the numbers and other occult symbols that have appeared in the event far too much and too often to be just a coincidence. I do know enough to see what's there after it was pointed out. Including the fictional prediction in the same volume maybe wasn't the greatest idea, since that might get used by some critics to debunk the non-fiction part that is really on to something, but in context I can see why the things speculated about there seemed reasonable at the time. I read this on the recommendation of Joseph Farrell, and I had the same reaction to it that he said he did - needing to pause and sit quietly for a few minutes, having just been informed in a far too believable way that reality is not as we have been told but most of us don't know about it since the clues are so well hidden by being placed right out in the open. I actually recommend this as a companion volume to Dark Mission, the Secret History of NASA, by Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara since a great deal of what's in that book is the same phenomenon showing up not regarding 9/11 but in the space program. Those two authors have compiled just as impressive a list of clues that show an old and consistent record of things in NASA being done in accordance with the symbols and rituals of the same Thelemic/Egyptian religion/writings of Aleister Crowley along with post-war Nazis.

Scary Take on 9/11

Ever wondered why major events seem to have reoccurring numbers? S. K. Bain does! I don't know if I can buy into his thesis, but I got to admit that I am looking for these connections in the news.

Wow. Where to begin. I'm all for the kooky and conspiratorial; it's much more entertaining than the alternative, but woof. The actual conspiracy theory part of the book is only the first half. The second half of the book is a "work of predictive fiction" terrorism fanfic. (Full disclosure, I did not read the fanfic part.)

I'm not convinced SK Bain is a troll, but I'm also not convinced he's not a troll. He very will may be sincere, though throughout he hit too many of the conspiracy theorist tropes too perfectly that at times I thought it had to be a put on. One trope seen throughout is that he gives multiple seemingly unrelated points, it's a given that these points are related so he's not going to take the time to tie them together, you just have to go with it.

Bain refers to several numbers having specific occult meanings: 9 is evil, 11 is magic and the twin towers and the Pillars of Hermes, 77 and 175 and 93 and 85 mean something but I forget what and don't care to go back looking. Letters refer to to specific things - especially AA, UA, and K. There's a thread about Korean Airlines flight 085 (K85) that I really couldn't follow. American Airlines was apparently chosen because of the acronym A:.A:. for some Aleister Crowley order, and United Airlines because the acronym UA is tied to the Gaelic origins of the name Crowley (I guess...).

So many of these occult symbols I have to take for Bain's word for - I don't know if he's right, nor am I going to check. He relies on writings from Crowley and Anton Lavey for his occult information - I am not convinced that Crowley and Lavey weren't two of history's great trolls, targeting fundamentalist protestant evangelicals and their "is this a satanism" suspicion of everything.

The most interesting part of the book was an appendix at the end about the investigation - or lack thereof - into the flight training the suicide hijackers received in Venice, FL, their lives in Venice, their potential connections to US military flight training (at least to clear suspicion regarding similarly named Saudis who received US military flight training). I know this is a book about the occult mass ritual, but this section deserved to be more than an afterthought appendix.

“SK Bain Book:
The truth is that the conspiracy that generated 9/11 is real, that it is ongoing— and that September 11, 2001 was just a prelude to what they have planned for us in the future.”
It was the grandest, most sophisticated production of its nature that the world had ever seen.
This book is for everyone who knows that 9/11 was a dark charade.”
Ritual murder is mind control. Michael Hoffman
9/11 was the largest-scale occult ritual in history, a globally-televised hideous act of ceremonial magic.”
9/11: ultra-powerful mind-control and propaganda weapon— a psychological warfare tool of enormous proportions— infused with techno-sorcery and deep-level occult programming.”
This implies the ability to manipulate, to control, on such an enormous scale that it is beyond what most people are prepared to accept.”
Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
It is my sincerest hope that this book will help bring the true perpetrators of 9/11 to Justice, but after researching and writing this material I no longer believe that doing so is a viable possibility.
The best we can hope for is to expose and to resist- and even this may play into the hands of those responsible for the attacks.”
Consensus Reality: world of mainstream history and culture. That’s where most of us live.
The very nature of reality itself is at times so hostile to human life that human institutions must be challenged for their inadequate protection of their constituents.”
Those working for the state are often just as clueless as the average citizen when it comes to the origin and function of the forces at work to subvert it.
It requires a sense that conspiracy may be transcendental, may have its origins in the unconscious mind of the state.”
Someone somewhere is pulling these particular quantum strings.
At some level of the government, at some point in time, there was a decision not to tel the truth about what happened.
The morning of 9/11 saw the greatest density of drills in US military history. Up to 46 military exercises taking place…which diverted resources, manpower, and attention away from the real threats and resulted in confusion as the actual attacks unfolded.”

They go to great lengths to ensure the existence of aggressive, well-motivated, and sufficiently-funded adversaries.. to justify their enormous budgets and scare the civilian population.”
Subliminal messages permeate TV programs, computer games, magazines, billboards, products, and musical productions foisted upon us by technological witch-doctors and cyber-space sorcerers. Their particular concoction of spells are cast via techniques that go by name such as tele-hypnosis, meta contrast, hemisync, synaesthenia, and embedding.
Number 11: number of magic itself; essence of all that is sinful, harmful, and imperfect.”
Crowley’s vision of a New Aeon coincides with the illuminatis age-old plan for a secular world order ruled by an enlightened elite. Enlightened Moderation
In the end, what we have is a highly symbolic, ritual working broadcast to millions of people, a Satanic inversion; a Black Mass where the pews are filled with the entire nation and through which humanity is brutalized and debased. Michael Hoffman
A childrens story about a girl and her goat The Pet Goat was in reality a strategically employed device used to introduce this key occult element into the 9/11 MegaRitual.”
Lucifer is Ism constitutes the nucleus of the ruling class religion and represents a radical reevaluation of humanity’s ageless adversary: SATAN.

Bin Laden initially denied involvement with the attacks. On September 16, 2001, three years before turning comedian, Bin Laden issued a statement: “I stress that I have not carried out this attack, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation.”
Perhaps those who say that OBL was a CIA asset/scapegoat/boogeyman are right and it’s not OBL mocking us but the Shadow Government and the orchestrators of the 9/11 Global MegaRitual.”

Ephemeral election
The Statue of Liberty, the original name for which was Liberty Enlightening the World, signifies occultly the Light Bearer, Lucifer, the Illuminati savior.
The deity invoked on 9/11 was Lucifer and the Statue of Liberty was intended to serve as a powerful manifestation of the Luciferian Presence during the 9/11 Occult MegaRitual.
To the engineers of 9/11, Liberty means freedom to do whatever they wish, to whomever, whenever they do desire. Liberty means freedom of all constraints, moral, legal and otherwise.
It is difficult to exaggerate the fanatical degree of attachment the priesthood of Egypt and all subsequent related Hermetic traditions had for Sirius, the Dog Star. The entire calendar year of Egyptians was based upon the rising times of this star.

It’s an ancient rule of both the moral and common law that silence connotes consent. Silence and lack of meaningful action constitute consent in the face of these crimes.”
The ritual murders are successfully accomplished. The principals get away, the scapegoat conveniently takes the blame. Later we learn the truth but no one is prosecuted. We are mocked, disoriented, and demoralized. Occult prestige and potency is heightened.
To reveal these after-the-act secrets in our modern time, to a people who have no memory, no willpower, and no interest in their own fate except as it serve as momentary titillation and entertainment strengthens the enslavement of such a people.”
They may or may not be true believers in their own occult system and this may be the biggest psyop of all— we will never know for sure whether they’re satanically empowered practitioners of evil or just damn snark hucksters using our own ignorance and fear to help facilitate their goals and consolidate their power.

Freemasons ….humor is all important and the most appalling crimes may be committed under its cloak… ghoulish murders with Puckish sense of fun.
Symbolic literacy… used for subliminal persuasion in media and advertising. It involves the deliberate and subversive manipulation and public purveyance of words, images, numbers, colors, rhythms, and symbols which are subsequently directed, via ubiquitous media oracles, toward the limbus areas of the human brain.
Stimulates compulsive urges of man’s base appetites ans dissoant drives that conflict with our higher aspirations and intentions. Constant exposure to subliminal content serves to undermine man’s healthy drives. Subverts our moral sensibility and arrests our spiritual maturation.
The invasive, clandestinely directed, content has been adroitly designed to bypass their moral conscience and rational filters. Psychic dictatorship is devastating.
That which man consumes also consumes him.
His mind is plagued with media viruses and his libido rages within from all kinds of toxic programming.

uh, k, so I've been reading Peter Levendra and that's how I fell into this book ... I was speculative of the hyperbolic title before I started but thought "what the hell" ... I really appreciated the numerology and astrology references as well as some of the historical and little known facts weaved in ... the forced humor/sarcasm of the author detracted, did he even believe what he was writing? ... So, I'm mixed ... appreciate the different angle of looking at something but not fully sold bc it seemed that even the author wasn't

(I finished this book in one weekend... holy....)

Today, in conversation with my priest's wife about the history of Bulgarian, Communist propaganda, I came to the conclusion that history is best told through the lens of religious movements and ideologies. After all, Byzantium did not fall because of political theory, race, or economic instability, but religious infiltration by Islamic Turks; Russia did not Communize because of political theory, race, or economic instability, but the widespread embrace of radical Atheism; Ancient Greece was not built upon political theory, race, or economic theory, but pagan Polytheism; America is not built upon political theory, race, or economic theory, but Enlightenment Humanism (which includes Protestantism). Therefore, when discussing any historic event, the issue of a religious connection should always be considered.

Enter 9/11: an infamous day that represents the symbolic transformation of prosperity into destitution and security into fear. Mainstream narratives will tell you that the only religions connected to this day are Islam and the "Evangelical Christians that rose up against it!" (said in a thick, Southern drawl). Well, not so fast. S.K. Bain, the writer of this, debatably, schizophrenically-minded book, has a different thesis in mind: the attacks of 9/11 were actually planned, ritual, human sacrifices to invoke and appease demonic deities. While he does bring up some strange "coincidences" of the day, which include strikingly prevalent occult numerology (like, more than you would expect; it gets me particularly wide-eyed in discussion of the Pentagon strike) and symbology (which is known to be used as a tool of psychological warfare to arrest the development of the young brain), I believe in a much simpler, less conspiratorial view that keeps intact the demonic influence of the attacks (which any murder, let alone mass murder, has).

9/11, in my view, *was* a human sacrifice to demonic entities but not *explicitly* so. What I mean is this: I do believe that Bush, the CIA, and many other powerful forces (especially in banking) did have foreknowledge to the attacks and let them happen to usher in stronger surveillance through the Patriot Act, a reason to fight in the Middle East, cover up financial mismanagement, and get some of that lusted-after fiat cash (all of which happened). They were an explicit sacrifice to the appeasement of vices, so, logically, an implicit sacrifice to the demons which are behind those vices. Any murder can be said to be a demonic sacrifice, this one just happened to be on a larger scale. [This view is my current opinion, but, if in my endless quest for Truth (super corny sounding, I know) I find some stronger evidence of Bain's "explicit" stance or some other fringe view, my opinion will probably change.]

Now, in regards to the numerical and spiritual/occult symbology surrounding 9/11, my worldview-which I try to filter through Orthodox Christian morals and dogma-(I think) explains these best as the accompanying signs of a spiritual manifestation, which, when one event causes the souls of thousands of people in one of the most corrupt U.S. cities to leave their bodies, would be remarkably prevalent and dark like a sheet of burnt steel just beginning to rust indefinitely. Of course, I am not a theologian or even slightly trained enough to speak on such mysteries, but, in my finite intellect, it seems a plausible answer to those demonic signs, wonders, and symbols that do objectively find themselves scattered all over the events.

To put my thoughts on this book in one sentence: I gained a lot but lost more (my certainty of what happened that day, that is). Then again, is it not the common, questionable property of all 9/11 media to leave the consumer more confused in the end?

This book is split into two parts. Anyone who enjoys conspiracy theory and the occult will, I'm sure, find Book I fascinating. The author does a great job of tying all the events together in a package almost too perfect to even question it. However, just like that interesting person you listen to at first that starts to fizzle out into utter insanity so does Book II. Book II is full of inaccuracy and the author even gives up at points saying that it's too much work to prove his point or even that you'll just have to take his word for it. The author presupposes an event that never happened and mixes in real life events that did to further skew the lines of reality. While Book II is incredibly disappointing and can easily be dismissed there is a quality to Book I that if you are into the occult and conspiracy theory you will at least be provided with a very good and intriguing read.

Pure claptrap. The author does retain a sense of humor allowing the reader to imagine that his tongue is firmly in cheek while conjuring up these specious connections and coincidences having to do with 911. And then finding conspiracies in something that hasn’t even happened yet? Excruciatingly difficult to get through.

Problem is I don’t like being told you will believe this or that or you are stupid or lost. Just present the facts as you see them and leave it for us to decide on our own. No one needs someone forcing their ideas on others. Be thankful we are going to listened you to your ideas. Abuse is not necessary because then its just like the mass media propaganda machine.
