For many years I have wondered if there might be some powerful, evil, Satanic, homosexual cabal ruling the Western world headquartered in (I suspected) England and including the United States, Canada, Australia and perhaps at least some of the countries of Europe.

A French journalist, Xavier Poussard, has for the last several years, been digging into the background of Brigitte Macron, wife of Emmanuel Macron — after learning some things that didn’t fit right — and has come to the shocking conclusion that she is actually a man — a man who had transitioned to a woman.

ChatGPT gave me the following information on Xavier Poussard.

______________________________________________________________________________

Xavier Poussard is a French journalist best known as the founder and editor of Faits & Documents, a controversial and often conspiratorial political newsletter in France. The publication is known for its deep dives into the backgrounds of political figures, secretive power networks, and elite influence, frequently focusing on topics that mainstream media avoid or treat cautiously.

Poussard gained broader attention in France, especially among followers of political and alternative media, for his detailed investigations into topics like:

● Alleged hidden connections among French political elites

● Freemasonry and its purported influence in politics

● Background dossiers on public figures

● Media manipulation and power structures

His work often appeals to people critical of mainstream narratives and has sometimes been accused of promoting conspiratorial thinking. However, his supporters argue that he provides rare and valuable insights into the workings of elite power in France.

Poussard became more widely known in part through interviews, podcasts, and appearances on alternative media platforms in France.

Candace Owens has been doing a series on Xavier Poussard’s allegations (with Xavier Poussard’s permission), that has been getting millions of views from viewers in countries all over the world, including China.

I note that Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte just visited England and were given an impressive royal reception while they were getting all of this adverse publicity coming from the French press and Candace Owen’s webcast.

The conclusion of Xavier Poussard, reached by using Chinese face recognition technology, is that Brigitte Macron is actually Jean-Michel Trogneux, who is shown on the left side of a picture of the Trogneux family. Xavier determined that Jean-Michel Trogneu, born in 1945, assumed the identity of his sister Brigette in 1986, calling himself Brigitte Trogneux. It appears that before changing his identity he was married to some woman (or at least living with her) and had a couple of children with her.

People have asked what happened to Jean-Michel’s sister Brigitte. Well, she has not been found. No one has been able to find her. No one has been able to get any information on her. Questions about her are stonewalled. People refuse to answer, hang up the phone, etc..

All of this has been concealed by a great web of lies created by the French press and enforced by the government which has been compared to a police state.

Listen to the following videos. I suggest listening to Becoming Brigitte: Candace Owens x Xavier Poussard | Ep 6 first where you can hear Xavier Poussard’s explanations. I had some difficulty following Candace in her explanations and found Xavier Poussard’s explanations much easier to follow.

In one of her videos Candace mentioned Aleister Crowley and suggested reading the Wikipedia article on him. I also recommend reading it. Following are some excerpts:

____________________________________________________________________________

Aleister Crowley (12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. As a prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life.

Born to a wealthy family in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Crowley rejected his parents' fundamentalist Christian Plymouth Brethren faith to pursue an interest in Western esotericism. He was educated at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, where he focused his attention upon mountaineering and poetry, resulting in several publications. Some biographers allege that here he was recruited into a British intelligence agency, further suggesting that he remained a spy throughout his life. In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, where he was trained in ceremonial magic by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and Allan Bennett. He went mountaineering in Mexico with Oscar Eckenstein, before studying Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. In 1904, he married Rose Edith Kelly, and they honeymooned in Cairo, Egypt, where Crowley wrote down The Book of the Law—a sacred text that serves as the basis for Thelema, which he said had been dictated to him by a supernatural entity named Aiwass. The Book announced the start of the Æon of Horus, and declared that its followers should "Do what thou wilt", and seek to align themselves with their True Will via the practice of ceremonial magic.

After the unsuccessful 1905 Kanchenjunga expedition, and a visit to India and China, Crowley returned to Britain, where he attracted attention as a prolific author of poetry, novels, and occult literature. In 1907, he and George Cecil Jones co-founded an esoteric order—the A^A^, through which they propagated Thelema. After spending time in Algeria, in 1912 he was initiated into another esoteric order—the German-based Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), in which he rose to become the leader of its British branch, which he reformulated in accordance with his Thelemite beliefs. Through O.T.O., Thelemite groups were established in Britain, Australia, and North America. Crowley spent the First World War in the United States, where he took up painting, and campaigned for the German war effort against Britain. His biographers later revealed that he had infiltrated the pro-German movement to assist the British intelligence services. In 1920, he established the Abbey of Thelema—a religious commune in Cefalù, Sicily, where he lived with various followers. His libertine lifestyle led to denunciations in the British press, and the Italian government evicted him in 1923. He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and continued to promote Thelema until his death.

Crowley gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, being a drug user, a bisexual, and an individualist social critic. Crowley has remained a highly influential figure over western esotericism and the counterculture of the 1960s, and he continues to be considered a prophet in Thelema. He is the subject of various biographies and academic studies.

.........................................................................................................................................................

Crowley had his first significant mystical experience while on holiday in Stockholm in December 1896.[21] Several biographers, including Lawrence Sutin, Richard Kaczynski, and Tobias Churton, believed that this was the result of Crowley's first same-sex sexual experience, which enabled him to recognize his bisexuality.[22] At Cambridge, Crowley maintained a vigorous sex life with women—largely with female prostitutes, from one of whom he caught syphilis—but eventually he took part in same-sex activities, despite their illegality.[23] In October 1897, Crowley met Herbert Charles Pollitt, president of the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club, and the two entered into a relationship. They broke apart because Pollitt did not share Crowley's increasing interest in Western esotericism, a break-up that Crowley regretted for many years.[24]

Abbey of Thelema: 1920–1923

Now destitute and back in London, Crowley came under attack from the tabloid John Bull, which labelled him traitorous "scum" for his work with the German war effort; several friends aware of his intelligence work urged him to sue, but he decided not to.[134] When he was suffering from asthma, a doctor prescribed him heroin, to which he soon became addicted.[135] In January 1920, he moved to Paris, renting a house in Fontainebleau with Leah Hirsig; they were soon joined in a ménage à trois by Ninette Shumway, and also (in living arrangement) by Leah's newborn daughter Anne "Poupée" Leah.[136] Crowley had ideas of forming a community of Thelemites, which he called the Abbey of Thelema after the Abbaye de Thélème in François Rabelais' satire Gargantua and Pantagruel. After consulting the I Ching, he chose Cefalù in Sicily as a location, and after arriving there, began renting the old Villa Santa Barbara as his Abbey on 2 April.[137]

Moving to the commune with Hirsig, Shumway, and their children Hansi, Howard, and Poupée, Crowley described the scenario as "perfectly happy ... my idea of heaven."[138] They wore robes, and performed rituals to the sun god Ra at set times during the day, also occasionally performing the Gnostic Mass; the rest of the day they were left to follow their own interests.[139] Undertaking widespread correspondences, Crowley continued to paint, wrote a commentary on The Book of the Law, and revised the third part of Book 4.[140] He offered a libertine education for the children, allowing them to play all day and witness acts of sex magic.[141] He occasionally travelled to Palermo to visit rent boys and buy supplies, including drugs; his heroin addiction came to dominate his life, and cocaine began to erode his nasal cavity.[142] There was no cleaning rota, and wild dogs and cats wandered throughout the building, which soon became unsanitary.[143] Poupée died in October 1920, and Ninette gave birth to a daughter, Astarte Lulu Panthea, soon afterwards.[144]

New followers continued to arrive at the Abbey to be taught by Crowley. Among them was film star Jane Wolfe, who arrived in July 1920, where she was initiated into the A^A^ and became Crowley's secretary.[145] Another was Cecil Frederick Russell, who often argued with Crowley, disliking the same-sex sexual magic that he was required to perform, and left after a year.[146] More conducive was the Australian Thelemite Frank Bennett, who also spent several months at the Abbey.[147] In February 1922, Crowley returned to Paris for a retreat in an unsuccessful attempt to kick his heroin addiction.[148] He then went to London in search of money, where he published articles in The English Review criticising the Dangerous Drugs Act 1920 and wrote a novel, The Diary of a Drug Fiend, completed in July. On publication, it received mixed reviews; he was lambasted by the Sunday Express, which called for its burning and used its influence to prevent further reprints.[149]

Subsequently, a young Thelemite named Raoul Loveday moved to the Abbey with his wife Betty May; while Loveday was devoted to Crowley, May detested him and life at the commune. She later said that Loveday was made to drink the blood of a sacrificed cat, and that they were required to cut themselves with razors every time they used the pronoun "I". Loveday drank from a local polluted stream, soon developing a liver infection resulting in his death in February 1923. Returning to London, May told her story to the press.[150] John Bull proclaimed Crowley "the wickedest man in the world" and "a man we'd like to hang", and although Crowley deemed many of their accusations against him to be slanderous, he was unable to afford the legal fees to sue them. As a result, John Bull continued its attack, with its stories being repeated in newspapers throughout Europe and in North America.[151] The Fascist government of Benito Mussolini learned of Crowley's activities, and in April 1923 he was given a deportation notice forcing him to leave Italy; without him, the Abbey closed.[152]

Berlin and London: 1930–1938

In April 1930, Crowley moved to Berlin, where he took Hanni Jaegar as his magical partner; the relationship was troubled.[175] In September he went to Lisbon in Portugal to meet the poet Fernando Pessoa. There, he decided to fake his own death, doing so with Pessoa's help at the Boca do Inferno rock formation.[176] He then returned to Berlin, where he reappeared three weeks later at the opening of his art exhibition at the Gallery Neumann-Nierendorf. Crowley's paintings fitted with the fashion for German Expressionism; few of them sold, but the press reports were largely favourable.[177] In August 1931, he took Bertha Busch as his new lover; they had a violent relationship, and often physically assaulted one another.[178] He continued to have affairs with both men and women while in the city,[179] and met with famous people like Aldous Huxley and Alfred Adler.[180] After befriending him, in January 1932 he took the communist Gerald Hamilton as a lodger, through whom he was introduced to many figures within the Berlin far left; it is possible that he was operating as a spy for British intelligence at this time, monitoring the communist movement.[181]

I have been over forty years engaged in the administration of the law in one capacity or another. I thought that I knew of every conceivable form of wickedness. I thought that everything which was vicious and bad had been produced at one time or another before me. I have learnt in this case that we can always learn something more if we live long enough. I have never heard such dreadful, horrible, blasphemous and abominable stuff as that which has been produced by the man (Crowley) who describes himself to you as the greatest living poet.

Crowley left Busch and returned to London,[183] where he took Pearl Brooksmith as his new Scarlet Woman.[184] Undergoing further nasal surgery, it was here in 1932 that he was invited to be guest of honour at Foyles' Literary Luncheon, also being invited by Harry Price to speak at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research.[185] In need of money, he launched a series of court cases against people whom he believed to have libelled him, some of which proved successful. He gained much publicity for his lawsuit against Constable and Co for publishing Nina Hamnett's Laughing Torso (1932)—a book he alleged libelled him by referring to his occult practice as black magic[186]—but lost the case.[187] The court case added to Crowley's financial problems, and in February 1935 he was declared bankrupt. During the hearing, it was revealed that Crowley was spending three times his income for several years.[188]

Beliefs and thought

Crowley's belief system, Thelema, has been described by scholars as a religion,[215] and more specifically as both a new religious movement,[216] and as a "magico-religious doctrine".[217] Although holding The Book of the Law—which was composed in 1904—as its central text, Thelema took shape as a complete system in the years after 1904.[218]

In his autobiography, Crowley wrote that his purpose in life was to "bring oriental wisdom to Europe and to restore paganism in a purer form", although what he meant by "paganism" was unclear.[219] Crowley also wrote in the 4th Book of Magick about a great pagan Umbral fleet ruled by Ottovius that would be handed down to the great Spartan. The esoteric nature of this was also unclear. Crowley's thought was not always cohesive, and was influenced by a variety of sources, ranging from eastern religious movements and practices like Hindu yoga and Buddhism, scientific naturalism, and various currents within Western esotericism, among them ceremonial magic, alchemy, astrology, Rosicrucianism, Kabbalah, and the Tarot.[220] He was steeped in the esoteric teachings he had learned from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, although pushed further with his own interpretations and strategies than the Golden Dawn had done.[221] Crowley incorporated concepts and terminology from South Asian religious traditions like yoga and Tantra into his Thelemic system, believing that there was a fundamental underlying resemblance between Western and Eastern spiritual systems.[222] The historian Alex Owen noted that Crowley adhered to the "modus operandi" of the Decadent movement throughout his life.[223]

Crowley believed that the twentieth century marked humanity's entry to the Aeon of Horus, a new era in which humans would take increasing control of their destiny. He believed that this Aeon follows on from the Aeon of Osiris, in which paternalistic religions like Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism dominated the world, and that this in turn had followed the Aeon of Isis, which was maternalistic and dominated by goddess worship.[224] He believed that Thelema was the proper religion of the Aeon of Horus,[218] and also deemed himself to be the prophet of this new Aeon.[225] Thelema revolves around the idea that human beings each have their own True Will that they should discover and pursue, and that this exists in harmony with the Cosmic Will that pervades the universe.[226] Crowley referred to this process of searching and discovery of one's True Will to be "the Great Work" or the attaining of the "knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel".[227] His favoured method of doing so was through the performance of the Abramelin operation, a ceremonial magic ritual obtained from a 17th-century grimoire.[228] The moral code of "Do What Thou Wilt" is believed by Thelemites to be the religion's ethical law, although the historian of religion Marco Pasi noted that this was not anarchistic or libertarian in structure, as Crowley saw individuals as part of a wider societal organism.[229]

Legacy and influence

"[H]e is today looked upon as a source of inspiration by many people in search of spiritual enlightenment and/or instructions in magical practice. Thus, while during his life his books hardly sold and his disciples were never very numerous, nowadays all his important works are constantly in print, and the people defining themselves as "thelemites" (that is, followers of Crowley's new religion) number several thousands all over the world. Furthermore, Crowley's influence over magically oriented new religious movements has in some cases been very deep and pervasive. It would be difficult to understand, for instance, some aspects of Anglo-Saxon neo-paganism and contemporary satanism without a solid knowledge of Crowley's doctrines and ideas. In other fields, such as poetry, alpinism and painting, he may have been a minor figure, but it is only fair to admit that, in the limited context of occultism, he has played and still plays a major role."

Marco Pasi, 2003.[298]

Crowley has remained an influential figure, both amongst occultists and in popular culture, particularly that of Britain, but also of other parts of the world. In 2002, a BBC poll placed Crowley number 73 in a list of the 100 Greatest Britons.[299] Richard Cavendish has written of him that "In native talent, penetrating intelligence and determination, Aleister Crowley was the best-equipped magician to emerge since the seventeenth century."[300] The scholar of esotericism Egil Asprem described him as "one of the most well-known figures in modern occultism".[301] The scholar of esotericism Wouter Hanegraaff asserted that Crowley was an extreme representation of "the dark side of the occult",[302] adding that he was "the most notorious occultist magician of the twentieth century".[303] The philosopher John Moore opined that Crowley stood out as a "Modern Master" when compared with other prominent occult figures like George Gurdjieff, P. D. Ouspensky, Rudolf Steiner, or Helena Blavatsky,[304] also describing him as a "living embodiment" of Oswald Spengler's "Faustian Man".[305] Biographer Tobias Churton considered Crowley "a pioneer of consciousness research".[306] Hutton noted that Crowley had "an important place in the history of modern Western responses to Oriental spiritual traditions",[307] while Sutin thought that he had made "distinctly original contributions" to the study of yoga in the West.[308]

Thelema continued to develop and spread following Crowley's death. In 1969, O.T.O. was reactivated in California under the leadership of Grady Louis McMurtry;[309] in 1985 its right to the title was unsuccessfully challenged in court by a rival group, the Society Ordo Templi Orientis, led by Brazilian Thelemite Marcelo Ramos Motta.[309] Another American Thelemite is the filmmaker Kenneth Anger, who was influenced by Crowley's writings from a young age.[310] In the United Kingdom, Kenneth Grant propagated a tradition known as Typhonian Thelema through his organisation, the Typhonian O.T.O., later renamed the Typhonian Order.[311] Also in Britain, an occultist known as Amado Crowley claimed to be Crowley's son; this has been refuted by academic investigation. Amado argued that Thelema was a false religion created by Crowley to hide his true esoteric teachings, which Amado said he was propagating.[312]

Several Western esoteric traditions other than Thelema were also influenced by Crowley, with Djurdjevic observing that "Crowley's influence on twentieth-century and contemporary esotericism has been enormous".[313] Gerald Gardner, the founder of Gardnerian Wicca, used much of Crowley's published material when composing the Gardnerian ritual liturgy,[314] and the Australian witch Rosaleen Norton was also heavily influenced by Crowley's ideas.[315] More widely, Crowley became "a dominant figure" in the modern Pagan community.[316] L. Ron Hubbard, the American founder of Scientology, was involved in Thelema in the early 1940s (with Jack Parsons), and it has been argued that Crowley's ideas influenced some of Hubbard's work.[317] The scholars of religion Asbjørn Dyrendel, James R. Lewis, and Jesper Petersen noted that despite the fact that Crowley was not a Satanist, he "in many ways embodies the pre-Satanist esoteric discourse on Satan and Satanism through his lifestyle and his philosophy", with his "image and ought" becoming an "important influence" on the later development of religious Satanism.[318] For instance, two prominent figures in religious Satanism, Anton LaVey and Michael Aquino, were influenced by Crowley's work.[319]

In popular culture

Crowley also had a wider influence in British popular culture. After his time in Cefalù, which brought him to public attention in Britain, various "literary Crowleys" appeared: characters in fiction based upon him.[320] One of the earliest was the character of the poet Shelley Arabin in John Buchan's 1926 novel The Dancing Floor.[320] In his novel The Devil Rides Out, the writer Dennis Wheatley used Crowley as a partial basis for the character of Damien Mocata, a portly bald defrocked priest who engages in black magic.[321] The occultist Dion Fortune used Crowley as a basis for characters in her books The Secrets of Doctor Taverner (1926) and The Winged Bull (1935).[322] Crowley was one of the inspirations for the character of Dr. Trelawney in Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time. [323] He was included as one of the figures on the cover art of The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967),[309] and his motto of "Do What Thou Wilt" was inscribed on the vinyl of Led Zeppelin's album Led Zeppelin III (1970).[309] Led Zeppelin co-founder Jimmy Page bought Boleskine in 1971, and part of the band's film The Song Remains the Same was filmed in the grounds. He sold it in 1992.[324] Though David Bowie makes but a fleeting reference to Crowley in the lyrics of his song "Quicksand" (1971),[309] it has been suggested that the lyrics of Bowie's No. 1 hit single "Let's Dance" (1983) may substantially paraphrase Crowley's 1923 poem "Lyric of Love to Leah".[325] Ozzy Osbourne and his lyricist Bob Daisley wrote a song titled "Mr. Crowley" (1980).[326] A prophetic quote about the coming of the New Aeon borrowed from Crowley's work Magick in Theory and Practice (1911) has been featured as the opening introduction to the video game Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (1996).[327] Crowley began to receive scholarly attention from academics in the late 1990s.

A Google search gives the following information on Thelema:

Thelema. Thelema is a religious, philosophical, and magical system founded by Aleister Crowley in 1904, centered on discovering and acting in accordance with one's unique "True Will". Based on the Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis), it incorporates practices like ceremonial magick, yoga, astrology, and Gnosticism, with its core goal being the attainment of mystical union with universal consciousness. Thelema is often described as a philosophy or a way of life, but it also includes formal rituals, liturgy, and a community that emphasizes spiritual growth and the pursuit of individual destiny.

The Bible repeatedly warns the follower of God to stay away from sorcery and the occult. See On sorcery, witchcraft, magic, soothsaying, astrology, etc. It is from Satan.

Crowley’s life was one of unending moral depravity, degeneracy, debauchery and that lifestyle is what has caught the fancy of our modern age. It is obvious that by 1960 this kind of Satanic religion had not only metastasized through the universities of Great Britain and Europe, it had also metastasized through the universities of America.

The outlooks, attitudes, and values of the 1960s is what is ruling in the western world of today.

I believe Crowley and others like him of anti-Christian, anti-Bible values and outlooks have had great influence on modern western intellectual thought. We need to look to the beliefs and teachings of these kinds of people to understand what is going on in our modern world, the hidden powers that are ruling it. I think people of this type mind and this type morals have tremendous power and influence in the western world today. It is the mind and outlook that is dominating in our western universities in Great Britain, America, Canada, Australia, etc.. It is from Satan. It is evil. And it is very closely connected to homosexuality, pederasty, and moral debauchery. The Bible warns us to avoid the occult.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
