The Temple of Set II

by Michael A Aquino

  When I first began this project, my sole intention was to illustrate the manner in which the dominant Judæo-

  Christian religion is being used by at least one religious foundation to inculcate and perpetuate racist attitudes and

  activities, specifically by an organization called “Your Heritage”.

  After examining their literature and its religious, political, and economic implications, however, I was

  increasingly struck by its similarity to the core principles of German National Socialism or Nazism, and I feel that

  this ideological identity should be noted in view of its possible implications for the future.

  “Your Heritage” advocates a specific type of racist attitude: White “Aryan” supremacy. This “Master Race”

  ideology is founded upon two things: the Judæo-Christian Bible and a number of works purporting to present

  scientific evidence of White superiority. It is not merely anti-Black and anti-Yellow, but anti-Semitic as well - which

  sounds strange indeed until one sees how they justify it. Then it seems even stranger.

  In the first place, they claim that all civilizations derive from the White race, and that of the Whites, the Aryan

  (commonly known today as the Germanic, Scandinavian, and Celtic peoples) are superior. This is based primarily

  on the writings of de Gobineau, Lapouge, and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, which state in effect that the White

  race is superior because White civilizations have reached a higher level than those of other races: a sort of social

  Darwinism. This is stated clearly in a pamphlet entitled God’s Great Race:

  The Caucasian or White race is the superior race. It is responsible for the civilization we have today. Throughout

  recorded history it has produced all the civilizations which have reached a high level. The Yellow race has not

  attained as high a civilization or progressed as far as have the nations composed of the Caucasian race. Malaysians

  and Polynesians are even less developed, and the Negroes have made the least progress of all. Where groups of

  Caucasians have merged or interbred with inferior stocks, the Whites have deteriorated ... The Caucasian race is

  indeed the greatest of all peoples, and if it dies, the glory of the world will perish with it.

  So not only are the Whites superior, they must not mix their blood with inferior races. Biblically this is

  supposed to be justified by some of the following passages:

  “Thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to by thine inheritance.” (I Kings

  8:53)“For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for a peculiar treasure.” (Psalms 135:4)

  “For thou art a holy people, the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself

  above all the nations that are upon the earth.” (Deuteronomy 7:6)

  Now this seems rather flimsy, since it obviously refers to Israel; and it hardly seems to justify anti-Semitism. But

  once you understand that it is actually the modern Aryan nations - and not the Jews - who are actually Israel, it all

  becomes perfectly clear ... doesn’t it?

  Why are the Scandinavians, Germans, Franks, British/Scotch/Irish, Canadians, Americans, South Africans (the

  White inhabitants) racially Israelites? Well, you see, the original Israelites were White Aryans; and around 700 BCE

  ten of the twelve tribes of Israel were transported into Assyria after a major defeat. Nothing more is known of them

  as Israelite tribes after that. But also in the 7th Century BCE appeared in that area a people whom the Persians

  called the Sacæ, Scyths, or Scythians, who were a White, light-haired people described as similar in appearance to

  the Celts and Germans. They were nomadic warriors who spread through various parts of Europe and, by tracing

  vague similarities in the sounds of names of different tribes, they are “shown” to be the ancestors of the Saxons,

  Goths, and others.

  Also cited is the Scythians’ use of the battle-axe as a weapon; it was also a favored weapon of the Saxons, and is

  thus seen as a carryover from their history as Israel because, in Jeremiah 51:20, God says of Israel, “Thou art my

  battle-axe and weapons of war, for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy

  kingdoms.”

  There are also other similarities between the Aryans and the ancient Israelites. For example, the love of liberty is

  an Anglo-Saxon trait which was also common to the Israelites, which is perhaps natural since the Israelites seem

  always to have been in process of being carried captive into one ancient nation after another: Babylon, Egypt,

  Assyria ...

  What about the Jews, then, who seem to be laboring under the delusion that they are Israelites? Simple. Those

  known today as Jews are the descendants of a mongrel breed of Canaanites, Assyrians, Babylonians, and others,

  who in turn - are you ready for this? - are descended from Cain, who was the offspring of Satan through his

  seduction of Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Jewish race is therefore Satanic and inherently evil.

  Thus is presented a genetic basis for discrimination against, or even genocide of the Jews. Further it can be

  Biblically demonstrated by the results of prophecy that the Jews are not the “chosen people” of Israel. Some of the

  Biblical identification marks by which Israel can be known, quoted from an essay (author unknown) called “Let’s

  Review the Diagnosis”, are the following:

  - 269 -

  Israel -

  “Would be above all other nations” - Gen. 27:29, Deut. 7:6 & 15:6.

  “Would be a maritime power” - Gen. 49:25, Num. 24:7, Deut. 33:13 & 19; Psalms 89:25.

  “A great nation and a company of nations” - Gen. 35:11, 48:19.

  “A people glorifying in Christ” -

  (From this point on I will simply “hit the high spots” without citing the scriptural verses, as it is obvious that

  there are plenty of them.)

  A missionary people; custodian of God’s word; possessing the gates of her enemies; having

  multitudinous seed; would colonize and spread abroad; possess mineral and agricultural wealth; would

  include a throne perpetually occupied by a king or queen of the Davidic line (an elaborate family tree

  supposedly tracing descent from David through mythical and historic kings of Ireland, Scotland, and Britain

  is provided); having a new home in “the appointed place”; to be God’s heritage; to be a people established in

  righteousness; to possess God’s holy spirit as well as His Word; to remain in partial ignorance of special

  relationship with God until the Great Revealing comes; to have a new language ...

  And on, ad nauseam. The claim is made that only the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Teutonic, and related peoples bear

  all these marks, and the Jews have none of them.

  Now the picture becomes really grim where the Jews are concerned; for they, the literal children of the Devil,

  are engaged in a worldwide conspiracy to thwart God’s plan, wipe out Christianity, and exterminate the White Aryan

  race. It is because of this Satanic race that we entered World War II: they controlled the Presidency at that time:

  The Jews were getting us into the war, and Roosevelt had given his pledge to them that we would enter

  it. The only reason the Jews hated Hitler was because he saw what the Jew economic system and banking

  system had done to Germany, and he was breaking their power ... So, as a means of strangling Germany and

  destroying her economically, the Jews started a world-wide boycott of German exports. And you know how

  the Jews control commerce in al
l the nations of the world. It was a declaration of war, as Samuel

  Untermeyer himself said ... Hitler was starting to put into operation some of the laws of God ... Against all

  the efforts of the Devil’s children to strangle and destroy her, Germany was becoming prosperous by going

  back to the economic laws of God - and that had to be destroyed ... (“Babylon’s Money”)

  Some of the praise of Hitler is even more emphatic.

  The Jews also control or engineer economic depressions, etc., and we have become confused and corrupted by

  aliens. We must turn from the evil ways into which we have fallen before it is too late.

  What can we do? Recognize our identity as God’s chosen race and follow his laws. And certain benefits can be

  expected if we do so, according to Exodus 19:5-6:

  “Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar

  treasure to me above all people; for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and

  an holy nation.”

  And, in Deuteronomy 7:6:

  “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special

  people unto himself, above all people which are upon the face of the earth.”

  Nor, according to this essay [called “A Kingdom of Priests”], are we merely to keep our sacred blood separate

  from that of other races:

  ... What the ... priests were to the Nation of Israel, that nation was to become to all the world. That is to

  say, we were to teach God’s laws and commandments to all the world, to judge them when they became

  disobedient, to administer and enforce God’s will in all the world. We have not fulfilled our duty in merely

  sending missionaries to plead with the pagans to adopt God’s laws and religion ... When we promised to

  obey God’s commandments and to assume the powers and duties of his kingdom of priests, we really

  promised to administer his world for him, as his priests, not as the servants of the African-Asian bloc of

  nations in their destruction of civilization ... We should have put his laws into effect throughout the world,

  even if his enemies opposed us ... God himself commanded us to create empires ... We will meet opposition

  of course; but God commanded us not to retreat before it, but to destroy it.

  Almost enough to make you shout “Sieg Heil!” when you realize that such a noble destiny awaits you, isn’t it?

  These people also await a Messianic prophet (like Hitler?) who will lead them in cleansing our lands of corruption,

  apostasy, and minority groups, for the Old Testament closes with the promise, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the

  - 270 -

  prophet before the coming of the great and terrible Day of the Lord.” So here we have imperialism just waiting to

  blossom again.

  There is much, much more that I could have mentioned, but this is enough to provide a general overview of the

  organization’s propaganda. Having seen what they are preaching, let us see just how solid a foundation they really

  have, and whether or not they might actually be able to achieve their goals.

  First, the Nazis held the same sort of “Master Race” theory; and the ideology of “Your Heritage” is based on the

  same source material: de Gobineau, etc., authored their “scientific” material.

  The term “Aryan” actually arose from the discovery that most European languages belonged to the same family

  as those of Iran, Afghanistan, and the greater part of India. The original language seems to have developed in the

  Ukraine or Poland prior to 2000 BCE; its speakers had tamed the horse and invented chariots, which enabled them

  to conquer adjacent peoples, make themselves a ruling class, impose their language on their subjects, and

  intermarry with them. Their descendants conquered other tribes and so on until their language - now broken into

  many tongues retaining similarities of words and grammar - was spread from Portugal to Ceylon. The conquerors of

  Iran and India around 1500 B.C.E. called themselves Arya, meaning “nobles”; and when scholars realized the

  kinship of derivative languages as far apart as Icelandic, Armenian, and Bengali, they called this linguistic family

  “Aryan.”

  The Aryan peoples, also called Indo-Europeans, overthrew a number of civilizations but created none; and as far

  as science can presently tell, there is not and probably never has been an “Aryan race” since, whatever the original

  Aryans’ racial type (which is still unknown), it soon disappeared as a result of intermarriage with the more

  numerous subjugated peoples. The term “Aryan,” if used properly, refers only to a family of related languages. There

  has probably never been a truly “pureblooded” race on Earth.

  Curiously the source material cited in “Your Heritage”’s literature, with only three or four exceptions, was

  written during the period roughly from 1910 CE into the 1940’s - the same period during which the Nazi racial

  theories were being formed and applied. Many are the same books from which they derived their ideas. This implies,

  if not an actual connection with the Nazis, at least that we have here a case of racism seeking justification as

  opposed to racism created by religious dogma, particularly since most of the passages cited refer to Israel.

  The argument hinges largely on identification of the Scythians with the Israelites, which is not satisfactorily

  accomplished. The fact that Scythians (exceedingly warlike nomads wearing trousers and pointed caps) appeared in

  the same area to which most of the Israelite nation was transported as captives in the same century does not argue

  that they are the same, but rather that the Scythians exterminated the Israelites.

  And there are few shakier things on which to base an argument than Biblical prophecy, since the same

  prophecies are applied to many different events. Take as one example that of the Antichrist, the false Messiah who

  will lead the world astray in the last days before the coming again of Christ. A number of monarchs and at least one

  Pope - not to mention Hitler - have been proclaimed by theologians to be the Antichrist; even Henry Kissinger was

  recently targeted as such by one religious group.

  Propaganda, however, need not be truthful to be effective; all that is necessary is that it have a “ring of

  authenticity” - an appearance of truth. It is not designed to appeal to the lone intellectual, but to the masses

  through their emotions. And the Judæo-Christian religion, founded upon emotion rather than reason (being in fact

  a corrupted copy of the ancient Egyptian cult of Osiris with later historical accretions from other religions) and

  holding sway over millions, is an ideal vehicle through which to influence the non-thinking herd. The Nazis also

  used religious concepts in their own propaganda, proclaiming that they were the “sons of light” preparing to do

  battle with the powers of darkness and the Satanic race of Jewry.

  But could this sort of nonsense really gain control of enough men’s minds to give rise to another Nazi Germany

  type of situation? Well, it happened once before; perhaps, presented in the guise of religion ...

  And there are factors arising which did not exist in Hitler’s time and which may exert great influence on the

  course of human events. According to the research of the Club of Rome, the Cousteau Society, and other

  sophisticated and ecological forecasting groups, the human race as a whole will face a major crisis during the next

  50-100 years due to overpopulati
on, pollution, and lack of resources. It will probably, according to the projections of

  the Temple of Set, attain full force in a gradual way involving increasing anarchy and then a major authoritarian

  backlash. Such a group might find a ready audience, innumerable scapegoats, and a great deal of popular support

  under increasingly intolerable social conditions, and a dictatorial theocracy could conceivably develop. The trend

  toward authoritarian government is steadily increasing as egalitarian/ permissive governmental systems like our

  own find themselves less capable of dealing with the growing pre-crisis stresses. And look at the fascist regimes

  which have come into being in our own century in Germany, Italy, Japan, South America, and Africa.

  And “Your Heritage” appears to have outside help. While it claims not to be a part of any other organization. I

  find that about half the pamphlets they sent me - the more sophisticated ones, in fact - were printed and published

  by a group called the Federation of the Covenant People in Johannesburg, South Africa.

  Now South Africa is well known for its Apartheid policy of discrimination against the native Africans and its

  advocacy of White racial supremacy. And here is another interesting tidbit: South Africa has recently minted a new

  gold coin, the Krugerrand, which weighs one ounce and sells on the international market for whatever the current

  price of gold happens to be (In fact, I saw a recent television advertisement which proclaimed, “You’re not just

  buying a coin - you’re buying gold!”).

  - 271 -

  Now gold mined in different areas is distinctive, because it will bear certain trace elements in varying

  proportions depending on the location whence it comes. Millions of dollars of SS gold disappeared from Germany at

  the close of World War II, and, according to Setian Priest Mark Harris, the Krugerrand has created quite a stir

  because it has been found to contain the same identifying characteristics as the missing SS gold. A country like the

  Republic of South Africa would seem to be a logical place for a White Aryan-supremacist Nazi to move after losing a

  war ...

  An eventual “Fourth Reich” might not be quite as farfetched an idea as it seems.
