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

A wild set of interconnections are woven together in a story of suspense that builds and keeps you engaged until the end. Leaves you wondering, 'just what the hell is really going on?'

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.

Whoa!!! In my opinion there just aren't THAT many coincidences in the world! Definitely opens your mind to some other possibilities in regards to 9/11 and some other news headlines!

A good book that adds another dimension to the events of 911.

Confusing book. On one hand it exposes the occult aspects of the event but on the other hand it follows the mainstream narrative of planes getting hijacked by Muslim terrorists hitting the buildings.
February 24, 2024
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.

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

A very original interpretation of 9/11. At times I thought, "This is damning evidence of a conspiracy," and at other times I thought the author was reaching too far to draw conclusions.

The Most Hyperbolic Title in the World: Conspiracy Theory Gibberish With a Side of Crowley
January 19, 2026
(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.

Incredible
A book so revealing, so incredible, and catching that should at the very list awaken the curiosity to explore the events surrounding the destruction of the wtc. I can only agree that there are too many unanswered questions, and one day those behind theses events will pay.

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.

another Supported Theory
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.
