Catholics Thwarting A ‘Black Mass’ Shows You Don’t Just Have To Tolerate Everything
You can just say, 'Not today, Satan,' and take action. Freedom of speech shouldn’t cover every sacrilege imaginable.You can just say, 'Not today, Satan,' and take action. Freedom of speech shouldn’t cover every sacrilege imaginable.Demonic possession and the occult: Gen Z’s battle with darkness
If you imagine the occult, you might imagine caricatures of dark brooding witches and culty campfire sacrifices — and in some cases you might be right.
But with the takeover of social media, more and more young people are being attracted to the occult under the guise of enlightenment and beauty, rather than the stereotypical images of darkness and despair.
“I grew up in the '90s and early 2000s, and even some of this was alive and well then at such an early age, reading the magazines that tell you your astrological sign, the little power beads that were supposed to signify some kind of superpower,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” tells author Rod Dreher.
“And of course with the rise of social media, all of the personality quizzes that told you who you really were and what you should be doing in your life, there’s a lot of God of self,” she continues, calling it “trendy narcissism that has manifested itself in a kind of spiritualism and witchcraft and satanism.”
Stuckey notes that those behind this movement usually use “pink and sparkly” themes to get their messages across.
“That’s just it, it’s not blatantly satanic,” Dreher says, noting that not just young people are embracing satanism but people at the top of the U.S. government, national security, and Silicon Valley who believe wholeheartedly in UFOs.
“I’ve laughed at this all my life,” Dreher says, “but they’re like, ‘No, no, no, you need to pay attention.’ They don’t believe that they are people or creatures from other planets, they believe these are extra dimensional beings who are trying to contact us.”
“Listening to all this in their language, their nonreligious language, I’m like, ‘They’re talking about demons,’” he continues. “I’ve confirmed this with several people who believe that ‘Oh yes, the aliens are really higher entities who are leading us to enlightenment,’ and they do seances to communicate with them.”
Stuckey has also recently interviewed an ex-occultist, who, like these men and women, believed she had been in contact with aliens her entire life.
“Eventually she was just so oppressed by these demonic forces, she was on a ton of drugs, she was doing sex sacrifice rituals, I mean this young woman, and then finally one day she called out ‘Jesus,’ and he saved her in a very dramatic way,” she tells Dreher.
“I’ve noticed that very often, the drastic testimonies involve either the person saying Jesus’ name and being delivered, or someone that they didn’t know, somehow knowing their name,” she continues, adding, “I see in so many of these testimonies of people who were completely lost, some random interaction, someone locked eyes with them and said, ‘This is your name, what are you doing?’”

M.I.A. explains why artists like Cardi B are destroying the music industry: 'What is cool is Satan’s playground'
British rapper and record producer M.I.A. recently made an appearance on James Poulos’ “Zero Hour.” The duo broached a number of subjects, including the “Paper Planes” singer’s anti-Big Tech clothing line OHMNI, therapy addiction in the West, tyranny in the U.K., and, of course, the music industry.
On the latter subject, M.I.A. was candid about the decline of music due to the influence of Satanism and the AI programming that paves the path for it.

“Where do you see music going? And do you think music is doing what it needs to be doing for us as human beings?” Poulos asked.
“Music is healing, and it can change a lot of people’s mood or vibe ... and I think it’s been hijacked because it became a business,” M.I.A. explained, adding that as an artist, “You have to put [your music] through the channel of an industry [where] it gets corrupted.”
“This is the image that has to be put with this song, and a girl has to look like this, and she has to do this dance,” she said, regurgitating what artists are told by producers and marketing personnel.
As a newer Christian, M.I.A. pointed to Satan as the root cause of the music industry’s degeneracy.
“Satan was the director of music, you know? It is a great tool to get to people because music directly accesses your spirit, so you bypass the mind and your soul and your logic,” she told Poulos. “There's a level of responsibility to practice when you make music and a level of knowledge you have to have.”
She explained that “what is cool” in our modern culture “is never that.”
“What is cool is Satan’s playground,” she remarked.
Unfortunately, artificial intelligence has also become integral to the music industry. While M.I.A. says that AI in and of itself is basically “a fun toy,” the programmers of AI are what’s problematic. Being keenly aware of what sells, these people design AI to essentially do Satan’s bidding.
She points to popular musicians Cardi B and Ice Spice – who are likely popular because they’re “skirting very close to porn” – as examples.
“It’s like merging Only Fans and the music industry is where we’re at,” she said, adding that this is why she’s “taking a time out.”

Woman allegedly held captive as sex slave by suspects practicing Vikingism, who offered puppy as 'sacrifice to the gods'
A Louisiana woman and her three husbands were arrested for allegedly holding a woman captive as a sex slave. The foursome reportedly practiced Vikingism, forced the detainee to denounce Christianity, and offered a puppy as a ritual sacrifice "to the gods."
Police arrested Hannah Frisby, 29, and two of her three husbands: Caleb Frisby, 28, and Justin Cowart, 26, on Thursday. Frisby's uncle, 54-year-old Tommy Allen, was also arrested.
Hannah Frisby was hit with charges of first-degree rape, ritualistic acts, and aggravated battery. Cowart was charged with aggravated battery and first-degree rape. Caleb Frisby was charged with aggravated battery. Allen faces a charge of aggravated battery.
The alleged victim told investigators that she was in a polyamorous relationship with Hannah Frisby, Caleb Frisby, and Justin Cowart, according to court documents. The victim, who suffers from autism and ADHD, reportedly said that Hannah was the "head" of the group.
The victim said Hannah required her to live with the group if she wanted to be in a relationship, arrest records say. The victim allegedly moved into the house with Hannah and the three husbands.
The victim claimed the group ordered her to denounce Christianity so that she could practice the religions of the quartet: Wiccan witchcraft, satanism, and Vikingism.
KTVE reported, "After being in the relationship for two weeks, the victim was punished by being forced to enter scalding hot water and scrub herself with stiff bristled brushes covered in bleach in front of residents in the home. According to court documents, the punishment was due to the victim’s self-harming."
The torturous bath was reportedly done to rid the victim of "evil spirits."
According to arrest records, the victim accused Hannah Frisby of placing a puppy on a table and holding a large knife to the dog's chest, telling the victim it was "a sacrifice to the gods."
It was not clear if the puppy was actually killed, according to the New York Post.
The group told the victim that she was nothing more than a slave and was to provide sex to the husbands on demand, according to the affidavit. The foursome allegedly told the victim that in order to "move up ranks" in the family, she needed to reproduce.
The victim's sibling visited the house on Sept. 21. When she arrived at the residence, the victim reportedly asked the sister, "How is Freddy?" The question is a safety code in the victim's family to secretly notify each other that they are in trouble.
The victim then grabbed a notebook and asked her sister to read her poetry, according to court docs. The victim allegedly wrote in the notebook: "Help me. They won’t let me leave. They beat me every day like a slave."
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office arrived a short time later to get the victim, according to KNOE.
Hannah Frisby, Caleb Frisby, and Justin Cowart were arrested on Thursday and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center. Allen was also arrested for allegations that he abused the victim.
