@soddenguru I never dreamed people would do such a thing so haven't begun to look at the motive. With gold I can only imagine it's perhaps a wealth creation black magic? But it doesn't seem logical. To coat a very unlucky infant in gold seems to be a contradiction. I'm not sure we want to look into it more closely because we might have to look into black magic which gives me the creeps.

You know that saying: Look into the abyss and it looks into you. Let's rather let Podesta & co look into the abyss. It's not for us.

I think of the term magic as applicable to any force not well understood by physics - e.g. gravity could be considered magic - but also most of psychology. Perhaps the point is nothing more than to baffle and disgust and terrify, for who would be willing to face off against those who would do such things?

I feel we've passed the point where the enemy is at the gates.
The abyss is already in our midst,
Its gaping maw consuming everything.
If you would prefer to turn away in disgust, I understand, however;
"Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed--and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy." - JFK

Debate is healthy. OK, let's do it. Let's find out why they do it. It doesn't mean it will affect us. See you back here with possible answers.

@soddenguru According to the satanists on Reddit, gold is a holy metal of divine energy. So it's more satanic to use it than a less "divine" metal.

Quoting 1 satanist: "In the Bible, gold is a symbol of holiness and divinity, relating to its color resembling the sun, itself a symbol of the divine source of all things."

Quoting another: "One could even look at it from the perspective of it being more blasphemous to use a white-light chalice in a Satanic ritual, and because it's more blasphemous then it's more Satanic to do so. "

Quoting another: "If we Satanists are our own gods, then gold, often used to signify the christian god, could make sense."

I think it probably comes down to influence and intimidation.
There's a few options to consider:
Alex is loony and so the elites are not threatened,

Alex is telling the truth and the elites are actually practicing black magic, and don't care if he reports it (seems least likely,)

Alex is telling the truth and the elites are not shutting him up because they're all for it. He reveals just enough to make them appear as insane cultists, but not enough to cost them jobs or anything so severe.

I figure, that makes the elites seem terrifying.
I mean I can only speak for myself,
But billionaire sociopaths like the president already scare the hell out of me,
Then add to that they have their finger on the button,
When they're not out in the woods chanting at giant owl statues and eating gold plated fetus.
Again, who would pick a fight with that?

You can't hug your children with nuclear arms.

The sociopathy of the current president is confirmed by $65,000 hotdogs, Planned Parenthood selling baby parts, etc. I don't think it is proven yet that the incoming one is a sociopath. Healthy debate and all, lets save that for the politics feed ;-) I think option 2 re AJ. He's like an ant to them. Insignificant.

Yes it doesn't have to be scientific. It could be some kind of ritualistic thing. Who knows. I read somewhere that there was a market in ancient mummies which people could not keep up with demand for so they would rob graves to make fake mummies and sell them to rich collectors. Could also be something like that - may be they are trying to simulate some kind of mummification practice.

You can be crazy and evil!

If it were an isolated incident of golden infant mummification, crazy might sum it up neatly.
Folie à deux?
Ou trois?

Ou six? Je compris. Still, to practise black magic they have to be crazy. And let's face it, Podesta & co's black magic didn't work out well for them did it? So it's kinda crazy for them to think they have special powers. I wonder if Marina A is reevaluating her skills right now?
