"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

"EXPOSED: SRIA and Holocaust Denial:" The Golden Dawn Saga: Episode 13

David Griffin calls the SRIA and Golden Dawn "Holocaust Deniers" and anti-Semites. Names Bob Gilbert, Morgan Eckstein, and directly references Chic and Tabatha Cicero without naming them. Calls Martin Thibeault an alleged drug kingpin. Attacks Pat Zalewski, Nick Farrell and Donald Michael Kraig:

From: http://hermetic-golden-dawn.blogspot.com/2012/07/exposed-neo-nazis-sria-and-holocaust.html

"Why are founders and leaders of the anti-Semitic and anti-Pagan "Order of the Rose and Cross?" and the segregationist SRIA also Golden Dawn leaders and Llewellyn authors?

Why does Donald Michael Kraig use the Llewellyn blog to promote Grand Officers of the anti-Pagan and anti-Semitic OR+C and SRIA, while denigrating other Golden Dawn orders?

Do OR+C Grand Officers leading Golden Dawn groups subscribe to the raging anti-Semitism and anti-Paganism expressed in the OR+C manifesto and espoused by OR+C Grand Tutor, RA Gilbert, in his paper, "Golden Dawn or Gotterdammerung?"

Why have certain Golden Dawn leaders still NOT distanced themselves from the anti-Semitic and anti-Pagan OR+C and SRIA?" - David Griffin

"A picture of SRIA anti-Semitism, anti-Paganism and of religious intolerance." - David Griffin

"Segregationist Christianity Unmasked" - David Griffin

"What has emerged is a clear pattern of abuse, using so-called "research" in the service of religious extremism." - David Griffin

"In the Golden Dawn community, SRIA historical revisionists have used, over and over, the same methods typical of those who claim the Jewish Holocaust never occured in Nazi Germany..." - David Griffin

"In fact, Holocaust denial uses precisely the same hatred, misrepresentation, half truths, and other propaganda tactics routinely used by SRIA "researchers" in the Golden Dawn community." - David Griffin

"All across the Golden Dawn community, we have witnessed the same tactics of this revisionist, pseudo-academic approach to "history" employed by SRIA agents, which include pedophile fraud artist Robert Zink, alleged drug kingpin Martin Thibeault, Pat Zalewksi, OR+C Grand Officer Nick Farrell, Morgan Eckstein, Donald Michael Kraig and others. Although SRIA historical revisionists in the GD community are not known to have yet overtly defended Nazism in their writings, their "research" methods are nonetheless identical with those used in Holocaust denial." - David Griffin

"Rabid anti-Semite, R.A. Gilbert, next launched a wave of propaganda assaults against GD historical truth with several political polemics posing as objective "history." - David Griffin

"Clearly, the SRIA is no mere "Research Society." Beneath the pseudo-academic veneer lurks something far more sinister. Based on evidence from the SRIA Inquisition against the pro=Pagan AO and two decades of SRIA interference in the Golden Dawn community, it is clear that the SRIA, in reality, is a society dedicated to historical revisionism - using the same propaganda methods found in contemporary Holocaust denial." - David Griffin

"This week SRIA operative, Morgan Eckstein, on the "Bast Temple Blog" revised even contemporary Golden Dawn history, using the half truth and misrepresentation strategies typical of internet hate sites promoting Holocaust denial." - David Griffin

"Thus we see clearly how the historical revisionism of SRIA and OR+C agents rewriting the history of the Golden Dawn extends from the very founding of the GD until today - and includes all of the propaganda strategies typical of Holocaust denial." - David Griffin

KKK & SRIA 2: Golden Dawn Witch Hunt Revealed: "Is Llewellyn Secretly anti-Pagan?"

Griffin calls SRIA, Bob Gilbert, Donald Michael Kraig and Llewellyn Publications Anti-Pagan Christian extremists and racists:

From: http://hermetic-golden-dawn.blogspot.com/2012/06/kkk-and-sria-part-2-is-llewellyn.html

"The Pagan community deserves to be fully informed about secret connections with anti-Pagan groups of both Donald Michael Kraig and Llewellyn." - David Griffin

"Anti-Pagan OR+C Grand Tutor, R.A. Gilbert" - David Griffin

"Why are Llewellyn authors secretly leaders of segregationist, anti-Pagan groups?" - David Griffin

"Sadly, the ugly face of Christian extremism has never disappeared. Whenever Christianity becomes a facade for Nazi style racism it becomes particularly dangerous, expecially when it takes on a Masonic veneer as in the case of the anti-Pagan, segregationist, "Christians only" SRIA and OR+C." - David Griffin

"Here in the United States, we are all too familiar with Christian racists using a masonic veneer. The Ku Klux Klan, for example, uses rituals written by Freemason, Albert Pike. Thus, the danger extremoist "Christians only" Rosicrucianism of the SRIA and OR+C is not to be underestimated." - David Griffin

"Racist Christianity Unchecked! Intolerance masquerading as Christianity should not be taken lightly!" - David Griffin

"Grand Wizard, KKK - Supreme Magus, SRIA" - David Griffin

"Historically, we find a Black Cross in both the KKK and in German Nazism. Today we we find a similar Black Cross as the primary symbol of a host "Black Cross Rosicrucian" orders including the Christian extremist, SRIA (Anglia), SRIA (America) and the Anti-Pagan OR+C (Order of the Rose and Cross), as well lurking behind Golden Dawn puppet orders already under their control." - David Griffin

"Let us now refute - point by point - the anti-Pagan defamation being spread by Kraig on the Llewellyn blog." - David Griffin

"What was the response from GD leaders controlled by the anti-Pagan SRIA and OR+C? First they threatened their members with expulsion if they had anything to do with the newly released Second Order teachings..." - David Griffin

"In reality, the Pagan-led Alpha Omega has been under siege by GD operatives of the Christian extremist SRIA and the anti-Pagan OR+C for two full decades now!" - David Griffin

"Are either Donald Michael Kraig or Llewellyn secretly anti-Pagan?" - David Griffin

"The segregationist SRIA and the anti-Pagan OR+C have deeply infiltrated the Golden Dawn community, and have been manipulating it for two decades." - David Griffin
