Ron, For the benefit of our readers who are doubtful regarding my reports on
SATANISM IN AMERICA TODAY, I request you post this report. SATANISM is the same
all over the globe, including in America. And this is "the nature of the
Beast" for the Satanists who compose the backbone of the New World Order.
Be advised.

Blood-drinking devil worshippers face life for ritual Satanic killing
Murder trial reveals sinister link to British vampire groups

A young married couple who admitted to a ritual Satanic killing were yesterday
told they could spend the rest of their lives in a secure psychiatric unit after
a trial which has raised the spectre of bizarre underground occult groups in
Britain.
Manuela Ruda, aged 23, who told a German court she had become a vampire in
London, and her husband, Daniel, aged 26, were given prison sentences of 13 and
15 years respectively after admitting to the hacking to death of a friend in
their flat in Witten, in the Ruhr valley.
The victim, a 33-year-old colleague of Daniel's, Frank Hackert, was targeted as
suitable prey for his mild temperament and love of The Beatles, and was lured to
their apartment where he was attacked repeatedly with a hammer.
Manuela Ruda told the court: "Then my knife started to glow and I heard the
command to stab him in the heart."
The couple stabbed Hackert 66 times, carving an occult pentagram on his chest
and collecting his blood in a bowl and then drinking it.
When police broke into the flat they found a scalpel still embedded in his
stomach with his body lying beneath a banner saying "When Satan
Lives".
They also found imitation human skulls and a coffin in which Manuela slept
during the day.
The judge in the case, which has led to disturbing scenes in court, coupled
their jail terms with an order that they be held indefinitely for psychiatric
treatment.
Neither of the two self-styled devil worshippers showed the slightest emotion as
the sentences were read out to a courtroom dotted with supporters and admirers
of the bizarre couple, many dressed in black and holding roses.
Throughout the trial in the western town of Bochum, the couple had remained
defiant, making rude gestures, rolling their eyes maniacally, sticking their
tongues out and flashing smiles at journalists.
Manuela had told the court how, after working in the Scottish Highlands, she had
headed for north London where she se cured a job in a gothic club. It is here
she made her first forays into the world of bloodsucking. In the words of her
lugubriously bizarre testimony, it was frequented "by both vampires and
human beings".
Returning to Germany she began to give substance to her sinister fantasies. She
started to mix with people who went to graveyards at night where they would
"have a perfectly normal chat and drink some blood". The blood came
from donors contacted on the internet.
She also learned how to suck blood from another person's neck without
penetrating the artery. And she had two of her teeth removed and replaced with
long animal fangs.
A psychologist said she appeared to have been unable to develop any feeling of
self-worth. Born into a working-class family, she was selected to attend a
gymnasium, the German equivalent of a grammar school, intended to groom its
pupils for university. But she dropped out at the age of 14, at about the same
time as she tried to kill herself with an overdose.
When she was on the stand, Manuela's lawyer asked her if she had actually signed
over her soul to the devil. "That was two-and-a-half years ago, on the
night before Halloween," she replied, adding in quasi-Biblical language:
"That was when I placed myself in, and swore myself, to, the service of our
Lord, his will to perform."
Her Lord, though, was Satan, and he had come to play a big role too in the life
of Daniel, the car parts salesman she met through an advert he placed in a heavy
metal magazine in August 2000. "Pitch-black vampire seeks princess of
darkness who hates everything and everyone," he wrote.
She and her husband were arrested after being spotted at a petrol station after
a nationwide manhunt. Police found a list in their flat of their intended future
victims. There were 16 names on it.
Manuela, in verbal testimony, and Daniel, in a statement read to the court, both
denied murder on the grounds that they were acting on a command from a higher
authority. "I got the order to sacrifice a human for Satan," Daniel
insisted.
