Political Sorcery 4 - against the Epstein Class’ wars, genocides, ecocides and other bloody rituals. For peace

From time to time, reports and allegations of the elites’ rituals in which they rape, torture, sacrifice and eat children emerge. This is so shocking that nothing happens. As society, we don’t know what to do with it. It’s almost as if we don’t want to know, as we would very much prefer that this sort of things would stay contained as “conspiracy theories”. But in the last years, it’s like the events are insisting to confirm the media theorist M.C. Miller: “Conspiracy theory is something that if true, you couldn’t handle it.”. We would rather handle a Third World War, it seems.

From the point of view of Political Sorcery, those ceremonies are very on point – they seem like the right forms, the right rituals for our world and its elites – perfectly fitting their orchestrating and profiting from wars, genocides and nature’s depletion, the killing and starving of millions of people, and their sending to extinction of hundreds of species every day. They just found the ritualistic form for the current necropolitical system.

But we might have the elites that we deserve. It’s not only them, it’s also us. They just embody our implicit and explicit “values”, and beliefs a bit harder:

In a society where amassing wealth is not anymore seen as evil, as in many previous ones, but as a respectable endeavor, a value. In a society that shapes us as homo economicus – numb cogs with some utilitarian artificial intelligence but otherwise alienated, insensible, empty and soulless. In a society in which, as I wrote in We are all Reptilians Now, “psychopathy is the job description for success”, some increasingly extreme experiences, distractions are needed, just to feel something.

This life centered on wealth acquisition produces more and more polarization between a few winners and many losers, so belonging to the right tribe, the “winning” one, becomes more important than truth or ethics. As one of their own put it: “if you weren’t in the files, you had to be some sort of loser”. So you do what it takes to belong, to make it. Taking part in their parties and rituals opens doors, saying no, closes them. It creates a sense of elite community and cohesion. “Everybody does it”. And with everything being empty, meaningless and soulless, as it should after years of conforming to the stifling demands of success in an economy oriented life, it might be also the only “fun” still available.

In the current culture hedonism is good, while restraint, asceticism (spiritual exercises) are bad and totally uncool. If you obey and pursue this line, a desensibilization follows and you just have to increase the transgression, the dose, for pleasure to kick in. At some point the result is an insensible, hollow, hedonistic, narcissistic form of life capable of doing the things from the files.

Yet, those things might be perceived as empowering by this type of subjects, twisted as progressive – you’re in the avantgarde, deconstructing and surpassing the ultimate limits and taboos, liberating and emancipating yourself. Completely above laws, norms, old morals, “free”.

If God is dead even for the “religious” or “spiritual” people, and as Deepak Chopra said in one of his emails to Epstein: “God is a construct. Cute girls are real.”, power and sex are the last real thing in this world, the last standing religion. And, as elites, why not push it further than anyone else.

If everything is just matter that produces our biology, psychology and a subjectivity that can be constructed any way or another, why not just be a child rapist or even a cannibal, especially if this is encouraged and rewarded in your high circles, and it’s the ritualistic form of confirming and affirming that you’re above the others and the ordinary reality, that you’re among the owners of the world.

If in the current materialist-scientific perspective, bodies are just mechanisms, with their sensibility and powers to affect reality denied, you can as well push their anatomy, sexuality, pain (of others) beyond their limits, for some sort of sensation of transcendence, transgression, “liberation”. Horrid rituals might be the only chance for a dead body to feel something.

All this is not just a matter of moral and political corruption, this is the ideological atmosphere in which we live. This is our system, these are more or less our beliefs, and these are our elites. They do nothing more than to push our implicit ideologies further, they’re just the most advanced – the elites. From this perspective, we’re not at those parties and rituals just because we’re not rich and powerful enough, we’re too unsuccessful.

If we don’t like the elites and what they are doing, we should fight them, but also their corresponding “elitism” in us. We should go against them, but also against the corresponding elements in our culture and ourselves, against our world that produces the necroelites.

But they seem untouchable, in control, they won. They dwell in a supra-democratic layer of power that resembles more and more global organized crime, in which Epstein type of people, secret services and societies with horrible belief systems and rituals are involved. And from there they’re pushing identity thinking left and right, creating strong antagonisms, cultural wars that leaves them completely unbothered – political numbness and endless horizontal conflict below, while power consolidates above – divide et impera. They make you fight over meaningless voting options, while increasingly the choice seems to be between Baal and Moloch.

Even the few of us that still want to operate politically vertical and we know that the important struggle should be against the oligarchic necroelites and their (and unfortunately largely our) worldview, we’re much behind. We used to call for solidarity and cohesion, they have it through their rituals and parties. We used to say “eat the rich”, they actually do the eating of the poor, allegedly literally too. They are the true revolutionary class.

They are overwhelmingly strong. We seem completely under their spell, “resistance is futile”. Yet, there might be something that they’re afraid of – a counter-sorcery, and an aware unsecret society. That was what they were most afraid of at the beginning of industrial capitalism. They were burning witches and dismantled the spiritual values and capacities that interfered with materialistic greed. They know that faith + practices maintain a world. For a different world, we just need other perspectives, beliefs and practices. That’s why some sort of metapolitics might be needed, a metaphysical activism might be the only option left at the end of hope.

But here we’re left behind as well. Not only because of their secret rituals and esoteric beliefs, but recently reality became like a spiritual warfare in plain sight: In Israel some powerful rabbis are pushing Netanyahu, for more destruction, to accelerate the prophecies, to actualize the image of their “promised Greater Israel” that is already patched on the Israeli military uniforms, and to hasten the coming of the Messiah. Prophecies in which the Cristian Zionists believe too, but with a twist, the Israeli Messiah would be actually the Antichrist, but is all good because it would bring the second coming of Jesus. And this Christian Zionism is quite influential. Recently we saw: the speaking in tongues in front of the soldiers by Trump’s spiritual adviser; warmongers surrounding Trump, holding hands and mumbling some unhinged Christian Zionist stuff; military commander telling the army that they fight for Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus. On the other side in Iran (and some other countries) they burn big Baal statues as a preparation for the holy war against the Epstein Class (Satan). If starting wars for profit was evil enough, starting wars based on some unhinged beliefs feels even scarier.

To attempt a reversal of our political doom we might have to spiritually fight back. We might start forming and practicing some incipient gestures of political sorcery to start affecting the possible, the metaphysical foundations of our world towards good, and establishing in time a different spiritual substrate of reality, based on sensibility and embodied experiences, on love, instead of deranged ideology.

Political Sorcery note, 20.03.2026, Bucharest near Parliament:

My body moves as to affect the Parliament from afar, cursing it or opening something in it and beyond. They recently voted for Romania to contribute to the aggression war in Iran. Although it somehow feels effective what I’m doing, it’s difficult to really believe that it works. The Bible might be right, that by having a grain of faith you can move mountains, yet, for now, to believe that my practice here can influence the world towards peace is something too extraordinary, too beyond reasonable. But maybe I don’t need to believe. When Bohr was asked about the horseshoe above his door, he answered that of course as a scientist he doesn’t believe in such superstitions but he heard that it works even if you don’t believe. There is also the Kumare documentary in which an artist invented a sect, just to make fun of the idea of a guru, and was shocked when his random, invented practices started to actually work and the people started to have strange, inexplicable spiritual experiences. It reminds me of “hyperstitions” – “superstitions” that become real by practicing them as if you believe. Coming back down to more scientific perspectives, maybe my gestures can act like a quantum mechanics spooky action at a distance, or like a strange butterfly effect. Actually they feel more like a strange prayer. There is a study in which they found out that prayer can actually have measurable effects on other people at a distance. Then an experiment came into my mind in which hotel maids who approached their cleaning activities as fitness really had the benefits of fitness in their bodies. I see what I’m doing as sorcery and it becomes sorcery. A sorcery in which the nature of reality is like dreaming, as in some eastern religions and in philosophical idealism. Reality opens up to the possibility to be affected and altered, like in lucid dreaming. Writing this, I started to lightly have the sensation that I’m also cocreating reality. And it makes sense, our worldviews make possible the wars and all the misery in the world. I become supra-aware. Reality becomes dreamy. My hand becomes strange. This gives me the sensation of waking up. Again and again and again, in a similar reality as the one before, just a little bit better. Hopefully, the morphic fields theory – which says that introducing a new form in the world allows it to appear more easily in other places and times – is true, and my waking up and waking up makes it possible for others and for us collectively to wake up and wake up, always in a little bit less of a nightmare-world. Every waking up charges my body. From this state it’s obvious that all the somatic-energetic practices like Tai Chi and others make sense. The body expands and affects at the distance, Iran, Palestine, Israel, US, Ukraine… And after a while back to the Parliament and to myself.

Florin Flueras, Political Sorcery (2023). Political Sorcery creates metaphysical tools for fighting specific evils. In proximity and with the support of others, we develop charms, rituals, prayers, curses and other metaphysical ways to affect reality through our bodies, drawings, objects, chants, words. We can draw from different cultures, but we’ll mostly create our own sorceries and perform them together for greater effect. Its meta-message is that there are things beyond the power’s understanding and control, that they’re not untouchable. If “political” is to affect the power relations, Political Sorcery is a direct way of reclaiming its core. It is art that metaphysically acts on the world – art as political sorcery.

When politics are spectacle, when protests and other ways of “resisting” feel pointless, when it seems that they won and there is nothing we can do, maybe we can act from the other end of reality, on the metaphysical plane. No matter how “unscientific” or wacky it sounds, Political Sorcery might be a way to have a saying, an influence, it might be one of the few still possible ways to be political, with a twist. They think that we’re powerless, and we might be in the sphere they function and understand, yet we’re having power, and it’s time to put it to good use. Political Sorcery is a way of acting at the end of hope.

Sorcery is a human capacity that we have and there is clear evidence of its workings. There is vast documentation about sorcery capacities in shamans, witches, saints, and people in general. In the “pointing the bone” shamanic practice, people who had been ceremoniously pointed and cursed would go into a rapid decline and no treatment has been shown to prevent their soon to follow death. Puzzling studies show that, mysteriously and scientifically unexplainable, prayer can help in healing even the people that you pray for, no matter the distance. Our default scientism and physicalism-infused perspectives render these things inconceivable. Yet, in all cultures, Western European until recently too, the fact that we can affect events at a distance and be affected was an unquestionable experience. Our bodies were forced out of these capacities to become anatomic, medical, machinic, suitable for industrialization and capitalism. That’s why we are still culturally pressed to shy away from these subjects.

Metaphysical practices have their meta-ethics – impersonal, supra-human justice that comes from beyond, above. In many traditions, sorcery only takes hold if it’s ethical. For sorcery to be effective it has to serve a greater good. If you try to abuse it for greedy personal gain, it might turn against you. There used to be a metajustice at work and the metaphysical was keeping things in check – you cannot exploit and amass huge wealth if greed is a fundamental sin, or if destroying nature means killing your “mother”, or your soul. Capitalism is radically incompatible with these metaethics. To “progress” they needed to get rid of the spiritual. They had to burn the witches so a body as a mechanism, suitable for industrialization, could appear.

If Sorcery is the power to affect and to be affected, interesting art is at least half-sorcery – it appears in a process of being affected, of being sensible to the world. What is not so much believed in our times is that doing art (image, object, text, performance) can directly affect reality, beyond psychologically influencing the viewers. And probably, if we culturally don’t believe in this power, it does not happen, or it happens less. Yet, it might work even if you don’t believe – Political Sorcery can generate belief and make itself real through practice.

These zones are still tabu in current art, not only as subjects but also at a level of art function, yet, politically, ecologically and maybe also spiritually (to use another tabu word), being in a full mass extinction event and horrible humanitarian crises, we have to explore uncomfortable zones, to open frames, paradigms, the world. It’s time to reclaim metaphysical capacities and put them to good use. We don’t know what a body can do when it stops being an empty anatomical mechanism, especially if it starts to believe in its sorcery possibilities.
