The eminent Richard Spence was an honored guest last night on C2C promoting his latest exposé - Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult. Spence used to be a regular on The Other Side of Midnight. Hoagland was so insufferable on his last appearance there that Spence cut the interview himself after mere minutes. George is usually more tractable.
One of the highlights on last night's show was George's genuine gasp of horror when he first heard the theory of Barbara Bush being the daughter of Aleister Crowley. Spence shut that down pretty fast.
Cornelius got in to mention his father had been a 33rd Degree Mason. Spence responded that Crowley had been as well and that Crowley's favorite cities when he had visited America were San Antonio and New Orleans. We could feel Cornelius beaming.
Spence espoused his belief that Rudolph Steiner had been a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis under Crowley's control. This is grand heresy in the Steiner camp.
Crowley's favorite drug of choice, according to Spence, was, of all things, ether. That was worth looking into.
