Here today I am with Eric Freeman. Now there is a video on Vice. It's got almost six million views and I'm going to let Eric introduce himself to you in a second and thank you very much for coming on.

Quite welcome. Thank you for having me. Why were you selected by Vice? What is your expertise?

I have been studying the occult and satanism since I was little while other kids are drawing pictures of the sun and houses. I was drawing pictures of monsters and mad scientists in the devil.

I've always been like a weird kid. I've always like horror movies and I guess the darker nature of life. The inevitable aspect of learning to live with knowing your mortality and not letting it get in the way I guess is always been my fascination.

Vice came to me. They were doing the devil's do movie and I'm fairly well known for my aspects because I'm not. I think one of the things that needs to go over is there's a huge differential between satanism and devil worship.

That's where I think most people get lost. There's a lot of stuff in movies and TVs and they're called TV programs for a reason. You have to look behind why certain things are being utilized for certain aspects. The government feeds on fear. It utilizes fear to control people and to get them to do exactly what they want.

I've spent my entire life basically just trying to admonish the truth about my reality with what's going on. I'm a scientist at heart and so I always wanted to know the truth.

I always wanted to know what we saw on movies or TVs or someone's fiction book. I want to know what was real. I have a death wish since I was little that I tried to utilize to overcome aspects that other people wouldn't be able to.

Just because I think just because someone has the realization of death doesn't mean that they have to fear death. The fact that they don't fear death will they can accomplish things that anyone in their right same mind would never even attempt because it's just too dangerous.

I've spent my entire life in that room. I was almost a cop and I only applied in very particular areas where it was actually going to be real police work not giving tickets. I didn't want anything to do with any of that.

I guess my lust for war might be a good way to put it and so I've just done it with life instead of in a particular job.

From what I've been able to discern from my expertise in 30 plus years of study of all this, I think there are different factions of what people would classify as Satanists.

I think some are definitely not per se modern Satanists as Levay. There's something called the satanic temple.

It's an incomplete bastardization of the duality of nature which is what bathroom it is supposed to represent basically. It's all aspects of nature fused into one particular thing.

They've bastardized that concept and then they've thrown on these political nonsense with the kids. I personally, I don't think kids have any reason to be anywhere near that statue personally.

I think that the satanic temple are instrumental in destroying family values as well as.

There's a lot of SJW stuff that's going on right now. If you're familiar with social justice warriors, where offended culture and cancel culture and all that, where there's no free speech anymore.

There's no, everyone is so offended and so upset with their personal feelings and any kind of shocked driven instrument that they throw at them that they lock up and they turn into fearful animals and then they'll let anyone do anything they want to control them for their own personal safety.

It's really just an ego issue and I think Satanists spend a lot of time reading out ego. And so again, vice came to me, I have a buddy again from Cleveland, whose name is Dewit, who fronts a band called Integrity.

I don't know if you're familiar with them or not, but they're just a tiny band from Cleveland that used the occult and will in a Nietzsche format to become a worldwide sensation as far as that particular type of music.

Andy Kapper, who used to be the producer for all the vice, knows my friends with and they were discussing this organization called the Nine Angles.
