Years back a bunch of Americans were sacrificed in Matamororos in a ritual intended to protect drug dealers.
Don’t underestimate this one. Estimates of followers are as high as 2,000,000. If some charismatic individual creates doctrines for it, it will be a church overnight.
Such doctrines could be peaceful, but if they aren’t, the Santa Muerte cult could become another Thuggee cult, which murdered at random. The Thuggee terrorized all of India until the British wiped them out, twice.
And left a permanent mark, the word ‘thug’, on the English language.
I visited a street arts and craft show in Key West, that is, in Florida. There was a dealer there whose whole little booth was this Mexican death art,sculptures, dioaramas and paintings. It was positively creepy.
The British of yesteryear were a formidable crew.
Teens also were charged with kidnapping two 6th grade girls who had skipped school to see what the perps were up to...
One of the girls' dads got a posse together to burn down the barn on his land that the teens were using as a hangout.
teens who are still in jail (maybe) were 13, 14, and 15 years old... 10 teens in all
There was that near-revival in the nineteen-thirties, but it’s discovery by Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. and prompt action by Capt. Phillip Blumburtt with his Gurkha regiment thankfully put paid to it with a minimum of publicity.
“You build your pyre and we shall build our gallows, you observe your custom and then we shall observe ours..”
A different breed altogether.
The thing is, you don’t mess with Satan, witchcraft, or death cults without waking up things that are better left undisturbed.
If you call in Satan, whether you think you believe in him or not, he is all too likely to accept the invitation.
This is a very bad business, although the reporter tries to trivialize it.
There's low class, and then there's no class.
Yes, let's let 'em all in...
Family values south of the Rio Grande.
Limbaugh worshippers have been caught with bumper stickers and AM radio shrines.
Family values south of the Rio Grande.
This article reminds me of the opening scene of "No Country for Old Men": carnage under the wide Texas sky.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Celebrate diversity!
We should end the “War on Drugs.”
Those who wish to kill themselves with drugs may do so.
Those who wish to sell them drugs may do so.
Prices would collapse, the profits would collapse, the gang wars and murders would stop, and the Satanic rituals would stop.
We would, however, also need to end the principal soul-killing force that is causing so many people to get involved in drug use and mindless sex: government schools.
You ain’t going to win any arguments around here with facts.
This culture of death could easily be turned into suicide attacks ala jihadists with the proper motivation. This is dangerous and is yet another urgent reason we must stem the illegal tide into America
