In Book One: The Nine, you were introduced to a thread of violence and bizarre belief – represented by violent and bizarre people running, like Sherlock Holmes’ “scarlet thread of murder,” through American history up to and including the assassinations of the two Kennedy brothers. Strange priests, satanic rituals, political conspiracy, and the occult. Not the sort of thing one normally encounters during the course of graduate work in political science … or during a walk down a dark alley in an American city at night. That all of these things happened is a fact; that these people committed these actions is a fact. That some very strange belief systems are at the heart of American policy, foreign and domestic, is also a fact. That many Americans are not aware of this, or simply don’t care, is another fact. In this, the second book of a trilogy concerning American “political witchcraft,” we will examine some of the more modern manifestations of this unsettling concourse of sinister forces. We will look at terrorism, true, but we will also discover the coincidence stream in full flow in the lives of men as disparate in social standing as Richard Nixon and Mark David Chapman, Jim Jones and Richard Mellon Scaife, David Berkowitz and Donald Cammell. It is a study of Washington … and Hollywood. Of serial murder and mysticism. Of the straining of the American intelligence community towards a manipulation of the unconscious mind and of their transgression into the realm of the occult and initiation.

That is why this trilogy is called a “grimoire.” There are times when it appears that world history is nothing less than the
