TL/DR: We’ll itemize and trace the “witchy” references found in a 60’s horror movie.

I said in the last post that there would be one more post concering popular media related to the cases. When I got around to writing it up, there was far more material than I thought and I’ll have to split them up, one for each of two movies and another for a TV series.

Now, these media analyses are, in and of themselves, not directly related to either the Clancy or Morley cases and prove nothing about them. I only stumbled across them researching the name “Morley”. I had never encountered the name Morley before and had no idea it was connected to the Salem Witches.

But there is, to my way of thinking, a “boomerang effect”. Suppose that you are somehow still convinced that the Lindsay Clancy and Deirdre Morley incidents transpired according to some version we have been handed by the mainstream. After reading up on all these strange and surprising associations found in old “entertainments” and across history, I feel like it becomes much harder to maintain the position, “That’s all just coincidence, forget it, now let me loudly tell you my opinion on these cases….”

The social engineers are well-aware that the vast majority are interested only in having an opinion, because that necessarily signals to all others that you have enough knowledge to have formed an opinion in the first place. So look around at everyone that has an opinion on Clancy and Morley and ask yourself if you believe they formed it with knowledge of all that has been in the last few posts, is in this one, and will be in the next two. Probably not, huh?

Our focus here is Morley but we already came across two big pop culture names. In the second post on Lindsay Clancy, we found:

1. Patrick Clancy’s siblings set up the questionably-named Heard Foundation, which lead to the surprising fact that Amber Heard (b1986) is the daughter of a Parsons.

2. Tom Clancy (1947-2013) is a Salem Witch on whom a post will be written. You know, one of these days.

Before we dive into the movie, we need to discuss what that evidence will be prove: nothing. Well, nothing more than the presence of the Salem Witches in these productions. Let me amplify on why I need to make this point.

With all the “occult media analysis” you get from, say, Isaac Wieshaupt or Jay Dyer, it always boils down to them telling you about the Big Picture revealed by their knowledge and expertise in decoding the signals and messaging embedded in some production or other. The point is always and invariably that they are crusaders sounding the alarm over what all us mouth-breathers are too blind and ignorant to understand.

Well, that’s not what’s happening here, at least with any of these productions. What is their message? Beats the hell out of me. What do they reveal about the Big Picture? Nothing, so far as I can tell. The best I can do is pick up faint echoes of the real-world situation, and that is only because I already know a lot about the real-world situation.

As far as I can discern, these various elements were dropped in as something akin to a big “in-joke”. “They” see it and none of the rest of us do. However, this should not be considered trivial or underestimated in any way. In terms sociologists would use, the psychological dynamic of “in-group and out-group” is incredibly powerful.

Even that Wikipedia page underplays it. If you ever wondered why, for example, people get tattoos, and kids use slang, and accents, dialects, and languages develop, it is to help distinguish in-group from out-group. Blue hair is not simply an autonomous and arbitrary fashion choice.

You are free to disagree, but what this situation tends to confirm for me is that Their operations are highly compartmentalized. Even when we identify a Salem Witch, the chances are they have very little knowledge of any larger context and are subject to more manipulation than the average peasant.

What we will shortly be itemizing are not bullet points in a Occult Message, but rather the results of minor influences. Certain character names are suggested to a screenwriter, certain actors are suggested to a casting director, a certain author is suggested to a producer, and so forth. All we can draw from it is, “Yep, the Salem Witches were here.”

I personally don’t have a Big Message, but once again a Big Question: after you have read the following, do you really believe it is all a merely a Big Coincidence? Let’s dive in….

Curse of the Crimson Altar (also called The Crimson Altar and released in the United States as The Crimson Cult) is a 1968 British horror film. The plot summary (boldface mine):

Antiques dealer Robert Manning searches for his brother, who was last known to have visited the remote house of Craxted Lodge at Greymarsh, their family's ancestral town. Arriving at night, he finds a party is in progress, and he is invited to stay by Eve, the niece of the owner of the house. His sleep is restless and strange dreams of ritual sacrifice disturb him. Enquiring about his brother, Peter, he is assured by the house owner, Morley, that the man is not there. Manning's suspicions are aroused by nightmarish hallucinations. Occult expert Professor Marsh informs Manning about a witchcraft cult led by Morley's ancestor, Lavinia. With the vicar's help the cult is discovered to still be active. In an effort to kill Robert and Eve (a descendant of Lavinia), Morley, the secret co-head of the cult, sets fire to Craxted Lodge. He and Lavinia are trapped on the roof. As Lavinia laughs at the bystanders, she and Morley are consumed in the flames.

Do we all see the unmistakable stain of the Salem Witches on this movie? Recall from the second Lindsay post linked above that Isaac Morley Sr. (1786-1865) was the son of Editha Marsh and that he was born in Marshfield, Massachusetts, immediately north of Duxbury, where we are supposed to think Lindsay snuffed her own children. What are the chances, huh?

Want more? This is tasty: the role of “Professor John Marsh” was played by Boris Karloff (1887-1969). Karloff was a Hollywood legend who played the original Frankenstein, the original Mummy, and even voiced The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

I always assumed Boris was Eastern European and never heard otherwise. Incorrect! His real name was William Henry Pratt. Do you recall from that same Lindsay post the name of the man who baptized Isaac Morley as one of the first converts to Joseph Smith’s Church of Christ (later to become the LDS)? Why, it was Parley Parker Pratt Sr.. Can’t make this up.

Now try on this little loop which spans two centuries and see if it fits: One of the two screenwriters was Henry Lincoln (1930-2022). Read that page and they give you some runaround about how his name was really Henry Soskin. Personally, I believe he changed his name to Soskin to hide the fact that he wa really a Lincoln. You know, as in Abe Lincoln, who you can read up on in one of several posts about him.

It turns out Henry was a co-author of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982), which really stirred up a lot of controversy over good old JC Himself. That book gave rise to a kind of “novelized” version of the core concept in The Da Vinci Code (2003), although author Dan Brown denies the link. That novel in turn gave rise to The Da Vinci Code (film) (2006). Hopefully I’ve rung a pop culture bell somwhere along that line.

How do we connect back? The star of the film was Hollyweird arch-creep Tom Hanks (b1956). His second cousin five times removed was Nancy Hanks (1784-1818). After she married, she took her husband’s name of Lincoln. They later welcomed a son, Abraham. Yes, that Abraham Lincoln.

One more odd little loop. You can decide if this indicates we see Salem Witches from the fringes who were caught up in the action, or mere strange happenstance. We begin with the role of “Morley” himself, played by another titan of Hollywood, Christopher Lee (1922-2015). I mean, Lee was around for over six decades in countless horror films, then became Saruman in LOTR and Count Dooku in Star Wars. Amazing.

Another of his iconic roles was was as Bond supervillain “Francisco Scaramanga” in The Man with the Golden Gun (film) (1974). Perhaps he got an inside track on that role because Lee’s step-cousin was Ian Fleming (1922-2015), the founder of the entire James Bond feast.

Ian had a older brother named Peter Fleming who really seems like a global black ops guy when you read up on him, but exploration of that is beyond our scope. I just want to inform you of the trivia that he married actress and later Dame Celia Johnson (1908-1982).

Okay, it’s not just that her name was Johnson. I wouldn’t mention that if it wasn’t for this strange connection. Remember all the flying saucer fuss at Roswell back in ‘47? Well, as I detail in my post on Roswell, the iconic photographs of the “wreckage” were taken by an Army photographer named—get this—James Bond Johnson.

Yes, Bond is also a Salem Witch name. Also, I don’t have his year of birth but James Bond Johnson would have been given his name two or three decades before the first 007 book was published in 1953. That is, his parents did not name their baby after a fictional spy. I’m thinking that, if there is a causal link, it runs the other way.

BTW, Fleming claims he named the ultra-horny and pathologically-murderous spy after an American ornithologist. Yeah, that seems super-likely, doesn’t it?

Finally, as if all the foregoing was not enough, Wikipedia tells us that the script “was based loosely (uncredited) on the short story ‘The Dreams in the Witch House’ by H. P. Lovecraft.”

Would it surprise you to learn that the 1933 horror short story, The Dreams in the Witch House concerns events at (get ready) the Salem Witch Trials? Who saw that coming? Everyone?

That causes us to look at H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), and the very first thing we find out is that his full name was Howard Phillips Lovecraft (note the “s” on the end). There were six people named Phillips involved with the Salem Witch Trials, if you were wondering.

Finally, I would like to go back and discuss that plot summary. This section is merely what I observe and not proof of anything, so skip it if you like. I said before there was no messaging and that I could only detect echoes because I have become so familiar with Their patterns. Let’s talk about those echoes.

Point 1: Like the Salem Witches, the fictional Morley witches are a generational cult with secret membership. Lavinia is 300 years old at the time the film takes place and is cooperating with her distant descendant. Yes, the Salem Witches do work across those timeframes although they don’t live for 300 years.

Point 2: Lavinia’s descendant and Morley’s own niece, Eve, cooperates with Robert to put a stop to them. This is an example of compartmentalization. The Salem Witches surely have millions of descendants in the US alone, but only a tiny fraction of them participate.

When I say that John Q. Public is a Salem Witch and Public is a Salem Witch name, that does not mean that everyone named Public is a Salem Witch. John Q.’s surname has only alerted us to investigate further.

Point 2.1: The Salem Witches will kill their own who turn against them, like Eve in the film. They work according to rules and that’s allowed. Killing someone simply for opposing them is not. They are trying to prove a point to “certain authorities”. If their non-Salem Witch servants dream up on their own to kill on their behalf, that is allowed.

Point 3: Because the Salem Witches are compartmentalized, you will sometimes see them bickering with one another or working at cross-purposes. This level of competition or in-fighting is allowed, but never to the point of conflict or destruction.

For you parents out there, you realize there will be a certain level of rivalry among your children and you must allow a degree of contention. But no, they can’t try to knife one another.

Point 3.1: Even though Manning and Marsh are opposed to the Morley witches, this is not evidence they are messaging us about “internal conflict”. More likely, a compartmentalized Salem Witch was just given a list of names to drop into the script.

Bonus: I mentioned Roswell above and you may recall that the man at the center of it was base intelligence officer, Major Jesse Marcel Sr.. If you read that page, you’ll see it namechecks one and only one researcher “deboonking” Major Marcel by the name of “Robert Todd”. This, I would contend, is Salem Witches playing both sides of the fence.

You may recall that Robert Todd Lincoln was Abe Lincoln’s son. Further, you may recall that his mother, Mary Todd Lincoln was the daughter of a woman who was born Elizabeth Ann Parker.

Thanks for reading! Another Morley movie analysis on the way!
