Babylon (Part 3)
The innocent (naive, unalarmed, uninformed), to include babies, suffer greatly in babylonian societies. The third element of Babylonian culture is baby killing as child sacrifice was a ritual of convenience masquerading as a religious ritual of atoning for sin. The gods or idols of Babylon were referred to collectively as baals.
In the land of Canaan were many pagan societies, which not surprisingly practiced pagan rituals. Babies, often the first born, were thrown alive into the flame of Molech, a babylonian diety, while trumpets blared to drown out the sounds of the babies’ screaming. The high priests later consumed the roasted babies. Hence the term cannibal from Canaan and baal.
This is a counterfeit of the animal sacrifices practiced by the early Hebrews, in which the first born of their flocks were sacrificed and consumed by their high priests. In an agrian society, the loss of any crop or livestock is painful. These animal sacrifices fulfilled the Biblical statue of learning obedience through suffering.
In his 1971 book, DEATH PEDDLERS, Paul Marx reports these comments by a Dr Irwin Kaiser at a New York convention of doctors:
“At 160 dollars per patient, abortions could be a substantial money maker for the hospital and obviously, if we were prepared to step into the competitive New York market where abortions go as high as 1600 dollars a pop, we would probably make a killing, if I may use that expression.”
The audience of doctors exploded into laughter. It appears that abortion, late-term abortions, partial-birth abortions and “accidents” in the birth facility could be said to be the modern equivalent of babylonian ritual child sacrifice.
Another interesting tidbit, if I may use that expression, from Marx’s book concerned the disposal methods hospitals and clinics used for aborted babies and fetuses, as well as unwanted body parts removed during surgery or after death. Many facilities sell “organic waste” to hog farmers because hogs, as the terrestrial equivalent of shellfish, consume garbage. Their unique physiology allows them to eat just about anything without consequence.
I offer this for those who eat pork and shellfish. You have a right to know. According to the USDA more than 100 million hogs are slaughtered for meat in the US each year. According to the Guttmacher Institute, about 1.5 million abortions are performed in the US each year.
There are dozens, even hundreds, of documented cases of ritual child murder going back thousands of years. The remains of babies have been found in the ground and in earthen vessels all over the mideast. Simon of Trent was one of many big cases in Europe. Last year, roasted babies in gold-foil were discovered in the suitcase of a British citizen on his way to Taiwan.
The murder of children is nothing new. It has been done for many millenia by many people. It can be obfuscated up with all kinds of names, but because the victim is a baby or a child, it is still murder.

Babylon has been a theme in modern society for a long time. From doing a little digging, I have found that, surprise-surprise, there is a real Babylon and a counterfeit Babylon. That latter has been used in media and entertainment for various reasons, which I’ll be describing in the coming week.
For the Saturday, pho-blog, here’s a slide show to warm some questions.
