Blueprints of Mind Control

by James True

On Jan 16th, 1591, Agnes was shaved from head to toe and tied to the stake. Because of the progressive mercy of the town, a tourniquet was used to choke her unconscious before the fires would burn her body. The execution cost the town $7.76. It was a Wednesday. The 31-year-old King had presided over her trial. He found Agnes’ confession to be somewhat forced but still acceptable. It was his first witch burning. It would not be the last. For the next six years, hundreds of witches were miraculously discovered and tried all over Scotland. The King felt beset from all sides by the devil and was moved to write his first book, Demonology. In this philosophical work, the reasons, methods, and justifications for witch hunting are outlined, decreed, and sanctioned by God and King.
