Dear Dreher Forum
By 
Rod Dreher combines some recent news stories and quickly smashes through the looking class:
Somebody in my Twitter feed last night observed that “the Internet” was making a pretty good case for Anthony Bourdain’s suicide being tied to the occult. Say wha’? Lo, it turns out that his girlfriend Asia Argento is a witch, and not just a casual one either. There’s lots of extreme darkness there, right in the open. She flaunts it. Bourdain, the poor fool, was doomed the day he met her.

This is exactly where we are as a post-Christian culture: we have usurped the powers of binding and loosing from God. The Satanists admit what the rest of us cloak as advanced liberty and self-determination. Here is the line that Justice Anthony Kennedy will be most remembered for. It’s from the 1992 Casey ruling reaffirming the constitutional right to abortion:
“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.”
The Luciferians understand this moment well.
I wouldn’t say that I’m the biggest fan of Anthony Kennedy’s jurisprudence, and he could work a little purple, but Tony Kennedy, SERVANT OF SATAN seems a bit much. Still, Dreher is special: not everyone could figure out how to tie the Casey passage every conservative pundit in America is contractually obligated to cite — to the point I’m tempted to be a contrarian and stick up for it– to a crackpot conspiracy theory about how WITCHY WOMAN Asia Argento doomed Tony Bourdain because of the DARKNESS AROUND HER. Say this for Rod, he won’t settle for a cliche and move on.
And, of course, it can’t be classic Dreher without a totally plausible sounding comment by a friend who I’m sure exists:
Funny, but I was talking by phone today to a friend who spent half his life as a Luciferian (his self-description), and who came out of the occult only a few years ago. We were talking about the Bourdain suicide, which hit him hard (he was a fan), and about Asia Argento’s occultism. My friend, who still suffers psychic wounds from his time in that world, said never, ever to underestimate the real power of that spiritual darkness to work on one’s psychological and emotional weaknesses. Bourdain had his demons, metaphorically speaking, and the real demons no doubt went to work on them. That’s what my ex-Luciferian friend believes. Me too.
I…yeah.
There have been some great fake Rod Dreher friends over the years, but “my ex-Luciferian friend, who definitely exists and isn’t just a hyper-specific concoction for this insane blog post” is the best https://t.co/PMydpCAK6X

UPDATE: Sad
Rod Dreher removed a completely wild blog linking Anthony Bourdain’s death with Asia Argento’s supposed “ties to the occult” because people noticed it was fully idiotic and were commenting on it https://t.co/UvovB2yWr7
