In 1983, Michael Aquino used UN work trip credentials to access Wewelsburg Castle — Heinrich Himmler's planned occult headquarters — and performed a ritual in its underground ceremonial space. Out of it came the Second Order of the Trapezoid, a chivalric order of knights. He was, as the hosts note, at least as much of a nerd as Himmler.

After founding the Temple of Set, Michael Aquino settled into the role of an academic, earning a PhD in political science and taking an adjunct professor post at Golden Gate University, while continuing to publish a scathing history of the Church of Satan that debunked LaVey's many self-invented myths. But his more disturbing parallel obsession was with Nazi occultism. In 1983, on a UN work trip to Europe, Aquino detoured to Wewelsburg Castle — Heinrich Himmler's intended ceremonial HQ for his Aryan knighthood — and performed a ritual in the underground chamber Himmler had designed for his own rites. [1] — Marcus Parks "Aquino performed Nazi ritual at Wewelsburg Castle in 1983: Michael Aquino used UN contacts to sneak into Wewelsburg Castle in 1983 and perf…" 57:12 Out of this came the Second Order of the Trapezoid, which Aquino decreed was a chivalric order of occult knights. He denied sympathy for Nazi ideology while simultaneously arguing that Himmler had genuinely summoned an extraordinary psychic force that had merely been 'misdirected.' Henry unpacks the incoherence: you cannot separate a magical tradition from the Holocaust that powered it, full stop. It was not a whoopsie.
Michael Aquino used UN contacts to sneak into Wewelsburg Castle in 1983 and perform an occult ritual in Himmler's ceremonial underground chamber.
Kierkegaard lost five of six siblings and his mother before adulthood, grew up under a shame-ridden father, fell in love, proposed, then mailed back the ring and fled to Berlin. His inability to live up to his own most important commitment became the engine of his entire philosophical project.
Casanova escaped from Venice's inquisition prison, met Voltaire, Catherine the Great, Benjamin Franklin, and Mozart — then died completely alone in a Slovak castle, broke, telling stories to children who thought he was a crazy old man. His 2,000-page memoir sat unread for decades. A life full of fireworks that meant nothing.
Factories that replaced coal engines with electric ones in the early 1900s got only 6% efficiency gains. Those that redesigned their entire factory around electricity got a 3x productivity improvement. Swapping AI tools into your existing structure will give you 6%. Rebuilding around AI will give you 10x.
Lebanese terrorists backed by Iran were holding American hostages throughout the Reagan presidency. Reagan had loudly campaigned against negotiating with terrorists — putting him in an impossible position that his team quietly decided to ignore.
During the Iran-Iraq War, the US openly supplied Iraq with weapons, training, and intelligence. At the same time, Oliver North was secretly funneling missiles to Iran. The US was playing both sides of a shooting war.
Oliver North traveled to Iran under the alias 'William P. Goode' with a fake passport. CIA Director William Casey allegedly gave him cyanide pills so he could kill himself rather than be tortured if captured. He returned safely and the deal moved forward.
The Pentagon sold missiles to the CIA for $3,700 each. The CIA sold them to Richard Secord at cost. Secord sold them to Iranian middleman Ghorbanifar for $10,000 each. Ghorbanifar charged Iran even more. The profit — including $3 million in interest in one Swiss account — was diverted directly to fund the Nicaraguan Contras.
America secretly transferred 2,000 missiles and missile parts to Iran in 8 shipments over more than a year. Only 3 of 7 hostages were released. Three more were taken. The net result was zero freed hostages and a full-blown constitutional scandal.
On October 5, 1986, a CIA Contra supply plane flew a weapons drop at 2,500 feet in broad daylight. A Sandinista soldier shot it down. The only survivor, Eugene Hasenfuss, had borrowed a parachute from his skydiving brother. He was captured, paraded in front of cameras, and told the Sandinistas everything he knew.
