The SECRET Occultist That Ran the Military

Dan St. Germain joins us around the fire today to unpack the bizarre, shadowy world of modern occultism, military psychological warfare, and the life of Lieutenant Colonel Michael Aquino. We chart the strange path from the origins of the Church of Satan to the founding of the Temple of Set, exploring how esoteric rituals and Nazi occult castles collided with Cold War intelligence and psychological operations. From the dark heights of the Satanic Panic and the Presidio controversies to the Franklin scandal and Aquino’s military career, we dive into the wild intersections of government psyops, secret societies, and demonological lore.
