The real value of a businessman isn’t just his accomplishments, but the alliances and relationships he has carefully courted and built over the years in order to Get Things Done. No man is an island, no man is “self made”, and the ones who claim to be are either fools, liars, or are selling you something. Finance execs, in particular, run all their railroads this way – the accounts they service are rarely new, but rather, are the result of relationships built as the exec climbed the ladder over the years. These accounts aren’t loyal to (say) the Bank of Dumberica – the BoD is simply where the exec currently works at, and one bank is often as good as the other. If the exec moves to another institution, or (even more lucratively) starts his own financial consultancy firm, those huge accounts in his stable will follow him to his next stop. Loyalties in business are almost always personal – it’s not the bank that gets the client rich, it’s the exec pulling the strings at the bank who has done the real work.

AIG and other banks are rightfully concerned that they will not be able to retain finance execs if they cannot pay the six and seven figure bonuses that these people demand. Even in these “rough” financial times, the exec simply will leave, taking his accounts with him. By not spending millions in bonuses, the banks and firms stand to loose many billions of dollars in accounts. This is already happening – I’ve many friends who do IT consulting in the financial world, and all of them are completely swamped with calls from finance folks who are setting up shop on their own. It is this exodus of talent from the larger firms and banks that may ultimately spell their downfall, and if you think the economy is screwed now…

It is unwise to assume that a group of people higher up in the financial food chain then oneself go through life, playing by the same rules as the Common Idiot. This is how the game is played, and those few who have demonstrated their worth in the ring play by these rules. Pay them their bonuses now, or pay them your financial well being later… the choice is up to you. Ensure you’re making a fully informed one. And if you’re just starting out in your career, treat people well, build those alliances, and guard your contact list with your life.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

1. It’s founding by Dr LaVey in year One, Anno Satanas, coinciding with the publishing of the Satanic Bible – the philosophical underpinnings of Satanism.
2. The casting out into the desert a rag tag group of black clad, ant-eater worshiping poseurs. Dr. LaVey assets that progression in the hierarchy of the CoS is to be determined by real accomplishments in one’s own life.
3. The passing of Dr. LaVey in 1997, which culminated in Magus Peter Gilmore becoming the 2nd High Priest of the CoS
4. Today, where more thoughful Satanists are expanding and refining Dr. LeVay’s principals and philosophies. Examples include recent writings by Magus Gilmore and Magister James Sass – particularly the concept of “Deep Satanism”

It is the intention of my own writings here to continue the newly born refinement of Satanic ideas for those who care to employ them. An arrogant statement for certain, but I am completely confident that I can back my shit up with results.

Here’s the proof: I was born the poorest of white trash. Today, as a result of the practical application of what I will be writing here, I make a quarter million dollars a year in salary, plus bonuses – and I’m not even close to the top of my game. Results in the Real World are the ultimate mark of accomplishment – I possess real power against the Sheep of the World, and exploit them as much as my little Black Heart can manage.

Contrary to many people who are most prominent in the CoS today, I DID NOT join the Church of Satan at a young age. For certain, I recognized myself totally in the Docktor’s writings as early as age 16, when I first encountered the Satanic Bible. I feel fortunate that, sense that time, I have had the good fortune to completely and totally confirm the CoS’s philosophies in the practical, day to day existence of my life – they are real because I’ve experienced them to be true, in my own life and the lives of others. This is not a statement of judgement or condemnation of those amazingly accomplished Satanists who have accieved much in their own worlds – it’s simply a statement of the process in my own.

I most arrogantly state that my own life experience has very much to offer the CoS and it’s members. I will be sharing my own experience here, both for the growth of my own very healthy ego and for CoS member’s benifit. I make the outlandish claim that my own shit is completely backed up by scientific, objective fact, and will site a sampling of this work to back my play.Furthermore, it is my own opinion that stratification exists everywhere, including members of the CoS – it takes but a burger flipping job to obtain membership, and burger flippers tend to be either very young or complete idiots. Take from this site what you are capible of taking, and know your own limitations. Excel, and exceed them, or fuck off.

Thus endeth the lesson. Take it or leave it – I don’t care. Just know that, this very day, I am exploiting not only the sheep of this world, but you. My work is objectively true, just as much as the science is currently capible of being known.

Challenge my shit, but be warned – I will crush your opinions with objective Fact at every opportunity.

Contrary to popular, “folk” vernacular, “business” is not (only) the exchange of currency for goods and services. For certain, this transaction is an important part of this. Here in the Boardroom, goblet in hand, legs spread widely as our gorgeously hot companion (or strikingly handsome, as the case may be) willingly swallows us to ecstasy, anticipating our chance to return the favor… sorry, got distracted there.

Anyways, we here use a different, more Satanic definition – “business” is defined as the creation, cultivation, and leveraging of mutually beneficial relationships and the successful, purposeful execution of tasks that are mutually beneficial to that alliance. More bluntly stated, business is the process by which the strong feed on the weak, the clever and cunning become the strong, and if the cleaver are thoughful enough, they remain clever while attaining that strength. It is nature, red in tooth and nail, with a “professional” veneer – the smile, the handshake, the business suit. 

Brutal, but crushingly honest. This is not to say that these actions and relationships are done for purely exploitive purposes – only that there is no real altruism, and that when properly executed, one can do nothing but benefit from the transaction. This definition reflects the total acceptance that we’re all animals, but it doesn’t negate honor, integrity, and ethics (at least, not without consequence – responsibility to the responsible, always). 

Thus endith the lesson. Time to get back to what’s going on under the table here in the Boardroom.
