  3. I have been devastated to read in several parts of the British press serious reports that in America at the moment a Satanic cult is secretly working deep at the heart of the government of the United States to undermine the constitution.

    Allegedly prominent members of this cult [which is supposed to attract even people with Hannibal Lecter-type cannibalistic tendencies] include many major entertainers and senior past political statesmen and women.

    Alarmingly 4 specific names quoted in our English Daily Mail as allegedly belonging to the cult are Bill Gates/Tom Hanks/Oprah Winfrey/Hilary Clinton.

    I am aware that cults like that of Charles Manson have always existed in the world; and that the likes of Travolta and Cruise are supposed to have been involved with L Ron Hubbard’s scientology which some classify as a cult.

    However I never thought that I would read of even a suggestion from very respected journalists that intelligent people like Gates and Hanks and someone of Hilary’s mega-status would get mixed up with a SATANIC cult however exaggerated it’s ‘undemocratic’ antics and aims.

    I know that that you keep an eye on the activities and careers of the likes of Hanks so have you got any feedback on all of this yourself?
