Meaning of invocation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invocation

An invocation (from the Latin verb invocare "to call on, invoke, to give") may take the form of:

Supplication, prayer or spell.

A form of possession.

Command or conjuration.

Self-identification with certain spirits.

...An invocation can also be a secular alternative to a prayer. On August 30, 2012, Dan Nerren, a member of the Humanist Association of Tulsa, delivered a secular invocation to open a meeting of the City Council of Tulsa.[3] Nerren was invited to perform the invocation as a compromise following a long-running dispute with the City Council over prayers opening meetings. The invocation was written by Andrew Lovley, a member of the Southern Maine Association of Secular Humanists who had previously used the invocation in 2009 to invoke an inauguration ceremony for new city officials in South Portland, Maine

In some religious traditions including Paganism, Shamanism and Wicca, "invocation" means to draw a spirit or Spirit force into one's own body and is differentiated from "evocation", which involves asking a spirit or force to become present at a given location. Again, Aleister Crowley states that To "invoke" is to "call in", just as to "evoke" is to "call forth". This is the essential difference between the two branches of Magick. In invocation, the macrocosm floods the consciousness. In evocation, the magician, having become the macrocosm, creates a microcosm.

Re Spiro Agnew https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2809501/14636448

We have a great many members in our State. some of the finest citizens, all of whom “have a marvelous record.”’° Many prominent politicians numbered themselves among AHEPA’S ranks, including Spiro Agnew. representative William Cramer (R.FL), Senator Samuel Ervin (D.N.C.), and California governor Goodwin Knight. In fact, Langer himself was also a member.

In the post CLAN OF WORMS: The Vampires of AHEPA (PT. 4 Greek Orphan Crisis)

After aiding the CIA in turning Greece into an American Vassal state, AHEPA began publicly lobbying for "reform" of US immigration and adoption law... details exactly how the adoption system was "reformed" which actually means codifying legal kidnapping...

.This loyalty to US and Greek nationalist interests made AHEPA a favorite of the State Department, who designated the order as “an arm of the government of the United States in administering the resettlement of 10,000 Greek refugees.” Much of AHEPA’s lobbying work embraced the anti-communist language so popular during the early Cold War. When presenting an appeal for the 1953 Refugee Relief Act, AHEPA…The administration also linked AHEPA’s work to the preservation of democracy because of American democracy’s roots in ancient Greece. This magnified AHEPA’s relief work in a war-torn country as a larger Cold War fight for the representative government and free-market capitalism.
