David Griffin claims he has been the victim of defamation blogs and websites.  Claims that government intelligence agencies are sending professional trolls to disrupt his forums. Once more claims he is the only person standing up to the great conspiracy:

From:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/HermeticOrderoftheGoldenDawn1888/permalink/1536845783259384/

"Our admins have recently reported an unusual amount of interference with the normal progression of important threads on this Facebook group - with various people repeatedly and consistently diverting factual threads to dicussions of racism, Hitler, Nazisim, or other divisive topics like gun laws, marijuana legalisation, etc." - David Griffin

"For example, you may not know this but our order has had our Facebook presence taken down for no good reason twice already. Most recently this very group was killed in May due to an anonymous and bogus trademark complaint - so we had to start all over losing the 3,000 members we had at the time.

"Moreover, those of you who have observed the Golden Dawn for any length of time, will also be familiar with the endless parade of anonymously published websites and blogs that have defamed me and other leaders of our order over the years. One of the tactics routinely used when they attack me is "ridiculisation" calling me things like David "Country Roads" Griffin, David "HugASatanist" Griffin, etc."  - David Griffin

"I invite you to bear the above facts in mind as you read the below linked article, as the article sheds important light on confirmed tactics used by paid professional trolls working for intelligence agencies. (http://humansarefree.com/2013/09/federal-government-hires-internet-trolls.html)" - David Griffin

"This particular article is nothing unusual. It is one I just pulled randomly from Google. The article is, however, but one of literally hundreds of such articles exposing the deliberate disruption of online communities (including spiritual communities) by intelligence agencies." - David Griffin

"We can fight to keep THIS group free, but for 20 years now, we have witnessed tactics designed to disrupt the Golden Dawn from the entire checklist of tactics in the linked article used on an entire range of competing Facebook and Yahoo groups as well on anonymous and semi anonymous websites and blogs." - David Griffin

"Obviously, the Golden Dawn as a system of SPIRITUAL LIBERATION so fightens certain people they will stop at nothing to put out its light. I have stood up to covert disruption tactics for 20 years now. I remain firmly resolved that the LIGHT and TRUTH of the Golden Dawn shall SHINE FORTH unimpeded despite shadowy attempts to manipulate our community." - David Griffin

The Golden Dawn Saga, Episode 7: "Black Dawn Rising"

Griffin accuses the ORC of being anti-Semitic, and of being a member of a Christian hate-group.  Claims that Nick Farrell openly admitted the ORC is a racist organization.  Claims several G:.D:. leaders are members of a racist organization: Chic Cicero, Tabatha Cicero, Nick Farrell and R.A Gilbert.  Claims Bob Gilbert authored an anti-Semitic article that he compares to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion:

From:  http://hermetic-golden-dawn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/golden-dawn-saga-episode-7-black-dawn.html

"Olen Rush, defending the culprits, claims documents in this article are fake - taken from an Illuminati site. Rush now accuses me of racism - merely for outing his involvement with Golden Dawn leaders listed as Grand Officers on the official website of the anti-Semitic "Order of the Rose and Cross," including Rush's own publishers!" - David Griffin

"When The Dark Hand of SRIA, pulling strings in the Golden Dawn, was revealed in Episode 6, most people thought the Golden Dawn Saga was over. As you will see in episodes to come, we are only at the beginning, just entering the shadowy world beyond the Golden Dawn. " - David Griffin

"They say this Order of the Rose and Cross was born in schism, condemning the SRIA for its lack of Christian purity. The esoteric world looked on in horror, as in their manifesto of the ORC, as reported on usenet at the time the ORC opened in June, 2007, identified themselves as "Christian Identity." - David Griffin

"The scandal deepened when Nick Farrell openly admitted on the internet that SRIA is a racist organization." - David Griffin

"Scandal rocked the Golden Dawn community when news broke that numerous leaders of Golden Dawn orders were listed as Grand Officers of the nascent "Order of the Rose and Cross." These included Nick Farrell, The Present Supreme Maga of the SRIA (America), her husband who also belongs to the segregationist SRIA and SRIC, and SRIA member and Golden Dawn author R.A. Gilbert." - David Griffin

"It is highly likely, however, that Nick Farrell and the other Golden Dawn leaders still serve Grand Officers for the anti-Semetic ORC, despite their rote denials." - David Griffin

"The scandal was compounded by the rampant anti-Semitism in the article written by R.A. Gilbert, Golden Dawn or Gotterdamerung, as follows below. " - David Griffin

"It is obvious, that Gilbert is here espousing an Anti-Semetic "Christans only" view of Rosicrucianism. Gilbert makes direct reference to some mysterious "anti-Christian" (read Jewish? Pagan? Muslim?) THREAT. Such paranoid declarations are highly reminiscent of other Anti-Semetic tracts like the infamous "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." " - David Griffin

"Does the Order of the Rose and Cross truly subscribe to the hate filled philosphy of Christian Identity?   How deeply has this cancer infiltrated the Golden Dawn? " - David Griffin

"Do Nick Farrell and other Reconstructionist Golden Dawn leaders still serve as Grand Officers in the "Black Dawn" ORC?" - David Griffin

"Is there still more here than meets the eye left to discover, despite the vacuous denials and shocking revelations thus far?" - David Griffin

Rebuttal to Lewellyn author, Raven Grimassi's WITCH WAR against the Pagan & Golden Dawn Communities

Griffin claims Raven Grimassi is an imposter and of running a "witch war".  Claims that he somehow "granted legitimacy" to Grimassi's tradition.  Accuses Grimassi of sending his students to attack him in forums.  Refers to Grimassi as a traitor.  Further attacks Llewellyn; claims they are involved in a deep conspiracy to attack him. 

From:  http://hermetic-golden-dawn.blogspot.com/2011/05/rebuttal-to-lewellyn-author-raven.html

"We had our doubts about Raven Grimassi from the beginning... Our doubts about Mr. Grimassi were multiplied since certain of these families consider Mr. Grimassi as an impostor, a Neo-Pagan reconstructionist pretending to represent an "Italian Witchcraft" tradition that, as an American by birth instead of an initiate in Italy, he does not fully know or understand." - David Griffin

"Despite these misgivings, we nonetheless granted recognition and our family's stamp of legitimacy to Mr. Grimassi's "Stregheria" tradition." - David Griffin

"We have therefore been particularly dismayed when we caught Raven Grimassi on numerous occasions attacking us behind our backs to other Neo-Pagan groups, including sending his students to attack us on various Yahoo witchcraft fora." - David Griffin

" In short, Raven Grimassi has been behaving like a double-dealing Cardassian traitor." - David Griffin

"This is certainly not the first time that esoteric groups I work with have been attacked by Lewellyn authors. Although I  Gramassi's Witch War is likely not being orchestrated by Lewellyn, it is extremely odd that so many of the defamation attacks I have experienced over the decades have come from Lewellyn authors, their agents, and/or students. This has happenned over and over in situations where, in my opinion, Lewellyn was trying to promote watered down versions of deep occult truths - as is presently the case with Raven Grimassi's "Stregheria." - David Griffin

"I am also writing a formal protest protesting to Lewellyn, as Grimassi's Witch War reflects very badly on Lewellyn's image when one of their Neo-Pagan authors tries to start a Witch War like this in both the Pagan and Golden Dawn communities." - David Griffin

"This is not ths first time that we have been attacked by initiates of American Stregheria groups on the internet, including Mr. Grimassi's." - David Griffin

"It is clear from Mr. Grimassi's post above, as well as discussion that followed it on Yahoo, that the Witch War defamation attacks on our traditions are continuing nonetheless." - David Griffin

"Raven Grimassi should recall that Witch War harms the entire Pagan community and thus is extremely frowned upon by everyone. If Grimassi continues to attack other Pagan traditions like this, he will eventually find himself shunned by the entire community. Lewellyn should likewise also consider the folly of permitting one of their authors to engage in behavior that so grievously harms the Pagan community or Lewellyn's reputation may suffer seriously as well." - David Griffin

"Raven Grimassi should recall that although he is Italo-American, he is NOT Italian. In fact, Raven Grimassi does not even speak the language. How then can he possibly expect to fully grasp the subtleties of the tradition he pretends to represent? The time has come for Raven Grimassi to abandon his petty Witch War, and to stop making a fool of himself - not only in the eyes of the true remaining family traditions in Italy - but even in the eyes of the Pagan and Golden Dawn communities as well. " - David Griffin

"Let them take their dirty little flame war somewhere else!" - David Griffin

GD Founder or SRIA Traitor?

In this post to his Facebook group, Griffin rants about an "SRIA conspiracy" to control the Golden Dawn.  Suggests he is the only one "standing in the way" of the conspiracy.  Accuses GD Founder Wynn Westcott of being a "traitor" to the G:.D:.  Suggests GD members are "secret necromancers.":

From:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1518934551702473&set=gm.1540498056227490&type=1&theater

"By the way, since the proponents of this argument are so obsessed with that they consider to be a "corpse," are they really GD Magicians or does this make them secret Necromancers?" - David Griffin

"In any case, it is obvious SRIA clearly never give up trying to control the Golden Dawn, which they never will be able to do because our order owns the GD trademark in all of Europe including in Britain. By the way, at least in our order the Golden Dawn is most definitely NOT a cadaver. In our order, the Golden Dawn still has a living and highly dynamic egregore." - David Griffin

"Expect also more anonymous blog articles attacking and ridiculing me as well, since I remain in the way of their machinations. These folks, if nothing else, are predictable." - David Griffin


"Anyone interested in knowing just how far back SRIA efforts to coopt and control the Golden Dawn really go, should read my article linked below, entitled:
Did Wynn Wescott try to steal the Golden Dawn's Rosucrucian Lineage for the S.R.I.A.?
The story involves everything from clandesting intrigue to forged documents!

Paparazzi dog celebrities because they get paid well.

David Griffin calls Nick Farrell a "paparazzi."  Claims Farrell is being paid by the US Government to stalk him.  Compares himself to Aleister Crowley.  Robert Word, posting on behalf of Griffin, somehow claims that Griffin has been victimized since 1994.  As a bonus, Griffin tells a student to burn all of his alchemy books:

From: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1413491815594782?view=permalink&id=1539921049618524&p=60&refid=18

"This is nothing new and no surprise. Paparazzi dog celebrities because they get paid well. They are like dogs barking at my Jaguar Vanden Plas limousine as I drive by.
Nick Farrell is a tabloid journalist by profession and is very good at what he does. I'm not bothered by paparazzi because I understand the accidental role they play. Thanks to the paparazzi, I have beaten Aliester Crowley's record as the most attacked Magician in occult history. But in all fairness to Crowley, he only had print tabloids to attack him. I have entire websites, Facebook groups, and blogs!" - David Griffin

"Nick Farrell sees his main mission in life to attack David Griffin and affiliates. This has been going on big time since January of 1994." -Robert Word

"Every time Mr. Farrell allows posts on his group attacking me or advertising attack blogs, I get a flood of Facebook messages from people leaving his group in protest. People on Facebook seem genuinely fed up with all of the negativity. The only reason that makes sense for Farrell's continuing to alienate the Facebook community like this is that he must be getting paid to do it. What else makes sense? This kind of stuff reminds me of the article I linked to the other day about paid trolls manipulating spiritual communities. http://humansarefree.com/2013/09/federal-government-hires-internet-trolls.html" - David Griffin

"Any books you own on alchemy you should burn. They are all rubbish." - David Griffin

Does anybody know the Fraternitas L.V.X Ocultas?

Griffin adds the "Fraternitas L.V.X. Ocultas", Tony Fuller and BOTA to his SRIA conspiracy:

From: https://www.facebook.com/groups/276460775843215/

"They are a BOTA spin-off that appears to be presently directed by SRIA due to the presence of SRIA's Tony Fuller on their board of directors." - David Griffin

The following picture was discovered on Facebook, in the "Golden Dawnish People" group:

Greek Neo-Nazi "Golden Dawn" and SRIA?

Griffin is the first to suggest a connection between the G:.D:. and the Greek Neo-Fascist "Golden Dawn" (Chrysi Avgi):
