The moderator of that forum shared a link at some point to a video of mayan human sacrifice where the heart of the sacrificed is extracted
Hello, I’m the person you’re referring to, I’m a volunteer member moderator on the BALG forums and for full disclosure, I am not affiliated in any business or other way with BALG, beyond being active on their forums, so I don’t represent them, nor speak for them in any way whatsoever.
I wish to respond to what you’ve written here.
A few years ago I posted a link about the sickening drug-trade cartel killings, with clear warnings in both the topic title and body of the post, and with the link itself hidden behind a spoiler tab, with a comment that it resembled recreation of an ancient ritual sacrifice.
I posted about this because it implies either some spiritual influence, or possibly just local lore, may have caused old and horrifying customs to be carried forward to the present day. That the cartels are superstitious and have complex spiritual beliefs & practices is well known.
Seeing that this has been misrepresented, in a manner which could potentially cause upset and offence, I have removed the post.
What's the real connection with BALG? Didn't see it mentioned in either the video or the article... But I wouldn't jump to blame them. This looks like a mentally ill, delusional, murderer who fell down a occult path rather than being lead down one...
Again, I repeat that I do not represent nor speak for BALG, and have no professional association with them, I am just a forum user and speaking solely on my own behalf, and from my own observation & experience.
Danyal Hussein had a total of 25 posts on the forum, he joined 4th March 2018, and he made his last post 14th Nov 2018.
His Profile with that Nov 2018 “Last Post” date is briefly visible in the video by the BBC, 2nd from the left on the screen.
He seems to have been monitored by the UK authorities due to an interest in violent imagery for some time before joining the BALG forum, and was under supervision of the Channel process when he joined, and during at least some of his time on the forum (per dates given at thesun.ie/news/7254278/satanist-danyal-hussein-dead-body-pics/).
When the news broke, I was absolutely sickened and horrified, as you can probably imagine. I’ve been on the BALG forum since 2013 and the forum has always strictly enforced a zero tolerance policy for threats, abuse, or glorifying violence. I immediately checked his posts, and saw that they were mostly about love spells, orbs, and fairies. Because I volunteer as a mod, I could also see that he didn’t cause any problems on the forum, nor attract any attention in the short time he was active.
The community’s membership is enormously diverse, and posts can be immediately flagged by all members for referral directly to admins and mods. Like most responsible online communities, they also have robust procedures in the event of a credible threat of any kind being posted.
I originally joined that forum because of my interest in using magick for the spiritual healing and ascent of
all humankind, something which can be witnessed in posts of mine such as the 2015 thread titled “Theogenesis” which can be searched & read in full without registration.
Violence to other human beings has absolutely no place in that aspiration, period, and I absolutely and unreservedly condemn any actions of that kind. They belong in the past we aspire to leave behind, along with witch-hunts, slavery, and other forms of repression and atrocity.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, I think of them daily, and express deepest sympathies for their loss.
