The Hellfire Club and Kubrick

History repeats, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN NO HERO

Ben Franklin was a very wicked man, that history has been kind to, by omitting his publicly sinful lifestyle.

  1. Franklin was a drunk. He had weekly meetings at a tavern, where he got drunk with several of his associates. Franklin wrote, in a piece called, “The Antediluvians Were All Very Sober,” that “Virtue and Safety in Wine Drinking is found, while all that drink water deserve to be drowned.” Proverb 20:1 states, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
     
  2. Franklin was a whoremonger. Of course, all that drinking can lead to fornication, which Franklin was also very fond of. Not only did Franklin write a letter to a friend on “How to Choose A Mistress,” but he had an illegitimate son. This is strange behavior for a God-fearing “deist.” While in France, he attempted to seduce a married woman who was 40 years younger than himself.
     
  3. Franklin was an occultist, Satanist and indulged in child sacrifice. Franklin attended the drunken, ritual orgies of a secret society called, among other things, the Hellfire Club. They would get drunk, dress prostitutes up like Nuns and have orgies in underground caves, which resembled Black Masses (although they “worshipped” pagan deities Bacchus and Venus). While not actual professed Satanists, their motto Fait ce que vouldras (Do what thou wilt) was later used by Satanist Aleister Crowley.

What is most disturbing is that on February 11, 1998 The London Times reported that workmen restoring Benjamin Franklin’s London home dug up the remains of six children and four adults hidden below the home. “Initial estimates are that the bones are about 200 years old and were buried at the time Franklin was living in the house, which was his home from 1757 to 1762, and from 1764 to 1775. Most of the bones show signs of having been dissected, sawn or cut. One skull has been drilled with several holes. Paul Knapman, the Westminster Coroner, said: “I cannot totally discount the possibility of a crime. There is still a possibility that I may have to hold an inquest.”

  2. OFFICIAL YALE ACCOUNT:

    The first authoritative account of the Hell-Fire Clubs, who joined them, and which notorious legends about them are true

    Book Details

    The Hell-Fire Clubs scandalized eighteenth-century English society. Rumors of their orgies, recruitment of prostitutes, extensive libraries of erotica, extreme rituals, and initiation ceremonies circulated widely at the time, only to become more sensational as generations passed. This thoroughly researched book sets aside the exaggerated gossip about the secret Hell-Fire Clubs and brings to light the first accurate portrait of their membership (including John Wilkes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Prince of Wales), beliefs, activities, and the reasons for their proliferation, first in the British Isles and later in America, possibly under the auspices of Benjamin Franklin.

    Hell-Fire Clubs operated under a variety of titles, but all attracted similar members—mainly upper-class men with abundant leisure and the desire to shock society. The book explores the social and economic context in which the clubs emerged and flourished; their various phases, which first involved violence as an assertion of masculinity, then religious blasphemy, and later sexual indulgence; and the countermovement that eventually suppressed them. Uncovering the facts behind the Hell-Fire legends, this book also opens a window on the rich contradictions of the Enlightenment period.

  4. “The revolution can’t survive if the revolutionary is killed. So the revolutionary has to be wise to avoid the killing fields. Not for the sake that he wants to live, but that the revolution may live and thrive, so revolutionaries have to be wise. Not only courageous, but wise.”

    Q: I know this is a broad question, but can hip-hop spark a revolution or be a catalyst for change?

    A: What does lead a revolution? In the American Revolution, what led it? Was it the anger at the British government? Was it the rapid inflation that Benjamin Franklin talked about in his autobiography that said a wagon load of money could not purchase a wagon load of supplies? What caused the Russian Revolution? Was it the lack of belief in the czar and a political system that was so corrupt that it was eating itself from the inside out? What causes revolution in the Third World? Is it the outside influence of the CIA? Is it the abundant abuses of a kleptocracy that abuses its own people?

    I think that music in general and a culture like hip-hop in general is created by revolution. So in a sense, it”s a part of the struggle itself. As for (hip-hop) being the catalyst for all struggles, I think that”s a stretch, but I definitely think it”s an integral part of revolution itself, so it”s part of the same change it”s affecting.
