Meet The Senate Candidate Who Sacrificed Goat, Drank Its Blood
He is a Floridian running as a Libertarian…
Two years ago, Augustus Sol Invictus walked from central Florida to the Mojave Desert and spent a week fasting and praying, at times thinking he wouldn’t survive. In a pagan ritual to give thanks when he returned home, he killed a goat and drank its blood.
Now that he’s a candidate for U.S. Senate, the story is coming back to bite him.
Bite him? The Doc knows several Floridians who would see that as a plus in the he-man individualist not another professional politician thank Cthulh… erm, God category. But I digress…
Invictus, a 32-year-old lawyer who changed his given name — which he declines to reveal — to a Latin phrase that means “majestic unconquered sun,” says Wyllie is just running a smear campaign and is twisting his words into lies. No, he says, he’s not a white supremacist, pointing out his four children are Hispanic — though he acknowledges that some white supremacists support his campaign. No, he says he isn’t trying to start a civil war, but he says the government already is at war with its citizens and that it’s certain to escalate.
“The only question is when are the citizens going to start fighting back?” he said in a phone interview Friday. “I don’t think I’m the only person who sees a cataclysm coming, but I think I’m the only person saying it, and I think that scares people.”
I don’t think this guy has heard of Michele “Endtimes” Bachmann.
Invictus’s candidacy has caused some agita and drama in Florida’s Libertarian Party:
Adrian Wyllie, chairman of Florida’s Libertarian Party, resigned his post Thursday to protest the party’s U.S. Senate candidate, accusing the rival of supporting eugenics and for being expelled from a cult group for “sadistically dismembering a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice.”
The Senate candidate… counter-accused Wyllie of spreading “half-truths and lies” for political gain.
The dispute between the two has brewed for months, but finally came to a head after Wyllie was unable to persuade the Libertarian Party of Florida’s executive committee to publicly disavow Invictus, an adopted name that means something like “Invincible Sun Emperor.”
“I’m not making this up. It’s crazy, I know,” Wyllie, a Palm Harbor businessman who ran for governor in 2014 and received 3.8 percent of the vote, told POLITICO after announcing his resignation and levelling his accusations against Invictus in a Facebook post. “I resigned to draw attention to this, as a protest. I did this as a pre-emptive strike. I don’t want anyone to think this guy represents Libertarians. He doesn’t. Under the law, we can’t keep him from the ballot.” …
Invictus, 32, is an adherent of a religion called Thelema, established in the early 1900s by occultist Aleister Crowley. Invictus was expelled from the religion’s fraternal organization, Ordo Templi Orientis, but denies Wyllie’s specific claim about dismembering a goat.
“I have never dismembered a goat in my life. I have performed animal sacrifices as part of my religion,” Invictus said. “I was expelled from the order for political reasons. And animal sacrifice was part of it. But that is a deliberate misrepresentation by Wyllie.” …
“Many of his supporters are known members of Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups, such as American Front, Vinelanders and Stormfront, and he has been recruiting them into the Libertarian Party,” Wyllie said Thursday on Facebook.
Invictus said that as a lawyer, he has represented some of these groups in a professional capacity. He said, however, that he’s no racist.
Funny how right-leaning types who claim that no, they’re “no racist”… well, you get the picture. And keep your goats away from this dude. ‘Nuff said.

Not too sure what is going with this conservative, but just recently PM David Cameron (UK) conservative was identified by a fellow conservative’s book serialization narrative on David Cameron very peculiar sexual actions,, including the use of a head of a animal (pig), recently printed in a right wing (conservative leaning) newspaper. (Google/Bing)! Maybe it is just these Crazy Conservatives, just being themselves! Strange, but very true.

How is it that Cameron’s actions now seem reasonable comparison?
Talibandrew Breitbot October 6th, 2015 at 08:40
Especially because nobody is certain the pig head consented.

Animal sacrifice, goat blood cocktails, white supremacists and neo Nazis and he’s running for an office? Only in America………or some weird alternate reality.
Talibandrew Breitbot October 6th, 2015 at 08:39
America IS the weird alternative reality. Bizarro government, bread (or goat blood) and circuses. USA! USA!

let’s see: walk to the Mojave and then kill a goat and drink its blood – fly to the desert (Iraq), kill everything including goats, come home and drain the oil – hell of a society.

According to Christian theology, “Holy Communion” is eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jeebus – ritualistic cannibalism. All three major monotheistic religions believe that Gawd dared Abraham to sacrifice Isaac to show his loyalty. (I imagine Gawd responding: “Oh, my Me! You were gonna do it, weren’t you? What is WRONG with you!) So his chupacabra act ain’t that unusual.
The freaky and scary thing is his OTHER idiosyncrasies…

Let he who has not sacrificed a goat cast the first stone.
Talibandrew Breitbot October 6th, 2015 at 08:38
But… what about the goatzes?
Roctuna October 6th, 2015 at 10:21
Goat sacrifices are one thing but drinking the blood? He crossed the line there.
Anomaly 100 October 6th, 2015 at 11:42
I dunno. I loves me some goats.
Roctuna October 6th, 2015 at 18:50
I love a good cabrito too

There is a lot of mixed messages in his beliefs(religion), Horus, the eucharist, sun god Ra, the evil women/womb, the phallic which speaks for itself. Bunch of selfishness and pity is considered evil. Fun stuff

Robert Kennedy October 6th, 2015 at 21:28
And Libertarians try to deny that they are Republicans? HA!
