I'm a long time centipede, AJ fan, Trump supporter, libertarian, Thelemite, and member of OTO, and I want a minute of your attention to unofficially speak on behalf of OTO in regards to recent allegations that it's in some way involved with child sex trafficking (ie pizzagate) or mysterious deaths (ala Killary). I've long wanted to write Alex Jones to clarify some of his misconceptions of Aleister Crowley, Thelema and OTO as someone who is generally on his side but also significantly more informed re this.
Crowley was accused of all sorts of shit throughout his life. A lot of it he did, or there is some reason to suspect it, and he did it in the context of his pursuit of moral purgation, much in the manner of some less popular yogis. But publicly, vocally and as evidenced in his life he believed in the absolute sacredness of human life and of children. He believed to murder was the greatest sort of sin and his "Aeon of the Child" placed the genius of youth and children as paramount and supplanting the patriarchy of the Aeon past. In this sense he was a libertarian that was very much against tyranny in all its forms. There is no reason to believe Crowley ever hurt children. The only evidence people point to that he might have was an allegory he'd pinched from 18th century conspiracy theorists about the sacrifice of young boys where "sacrifice" is ejaculation and "boys" is sperm. He said he sacrificed countless boys over his life. He meant that figuratively - he jacked off a lot for masturbatory sex magical purposes. He jacked off his own adult dick, not the dick of boys. He stated that he meant it allegorically in the very place he talked about it, if only people read the rest of the chapter. I challenge you to bother being thorough: http://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/aba/chap12.htm
People have challenged OTO in the past. OTO sued for slander and won: http://www.otoaustralia.org.au/legal
Unfortunately much of OTO leans left, some people far left, and that's what you get when so much of the membership is concentrated on the left coast. So the abortion fundraiser was done and I personally consider it to be extremely horrible and textually against Crowley and Thelema. Protecting life and children, Crowley stated that abortion should be outlawed as a "slave vice." Sadly many "Thelemites" today let political trends take precedence over their purported values.
Again: Seth Rich is a hero, so is Alex Jones, and I sincerely hope the God Emperor prosecutes Crooked Hillary et al to the fullest. And also, Crowley was a perv but not a criminal and OTO neither hosts nor endorses criminal activity.
I'm open to questions.

I would also like to ask you about The Book of The Law, passage 11, quoted below. Do you think that some Thelemites and OTO initiates also take literally these words of Crowley's / Aiwiss's ? "Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!"

A lot of people like to look at Crowley's ridings and show how much of a monster he was with some of his Illusions. Not a lot of people actually look at the book of the law. It seems strange because the book of the law has verbage in it that is definitely a lot more in contrast to Modern values then the relatively liberal Crowley does. He complained throughout his life that the book of the law was very difficult to stomach. I don't find it that difficult.

You say above that "not a lot of people actually look at The Book of The Law".
The Cake of Light sacrament comes from The Book of The Law and is part of every Gnostic (Thelemic) Mass.
Gnostic Mass, when you're an actual initiate, is what you do. So to say that not a lot of people look at The Book of The Law is, quite frankly, incredulous.

I know the culture, I know the people, there's not a lot of variation at all and when you consider how poorly Cakes of Light are made it really shows how little a lot of OTO culture considers The Book of the Law, despite the importance Crowley placed on it.

If that's the case, can you tell me why they are they eaten at every Gnostic (OTO) Mass then, if, as you say, a lot of OTO culture considers little of The Book of The Law ?
It's widely known that Cakes of Light are eaten at every OTO mass.
