Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today, we continue our Periodic discussion involving the workings of evil in our current times. And while I had previously planned on conducting a philosophical discussion regarding the structure of the Azure Flames today, it appears that current events demand that I change the itinerary—much to my displeasure. However, Yrridthmas is enacted and we must respond to evil when it presents itself and not give any leniency when doing so regardless if I’d much rather have a cooler discussion about the Philosophy instead. In many ways, we experience the same inconvenience from the doings of corrupted forces that the Lord of Punishment is likewise burdened by. Let’s begin.

Today, speak about the craven and shameless tendency of evil to conduct immoral acts at any and all opportunities to further the goals of Deceptuary, and despite that frequent occurrence of violence at the hands of immoral forces on this world, those of numbed thinking seem to hang onto only the most sensationalized and poorest of examples and entirely ignore the regular mass killings that occur. Children who die in war, who die from mass famine and genocide, and who die in shootings in institutions that promise safety and education, seem not to garnish the same attention and care as single high-profile incidents of similar violence in our corrupted and often times wretched existence. We can attribute that to Deceptuary’s poisoning of the Human society that we exist within.

Our focus, however, isn’t on the angle of those incidents themselves, even as it is now apparent that the alluded incident was a case of classic corrupted Human Hubris and immorality doing what the Philosophy dictates that it shall always do; theigrits shall always destroy upon themselves and others of the same ilk through their own obsessive fears. In this case, one form of evil took it upon themselves to attack another; a pit was dug and they fell into it themselves.

This then brings us to the main focus of this Commentary, the targeting of groups that were entirely unrelated to the circumstance at hand yet never escape the ire from it. We bring into focus two groups namely that Deceptuary has long-since been targeting for various reason. Starting with, once again, transgender individuals, who were all grouped together and subsequently accused of committing immoral violence in the wake of the alluded incident. As mentioned in a previous Commentary by my colleague Vox, Deceptuary’s forces have used this group of people as a wedge to divide and spark hate—all to further his nefarious goals. Here, we see evil take the opportunity to use one act of violence to encourage retaliation against transgender individuals with the intended goal of creating division and spreading fear; this is a staple of Deceptuary’s workings.

Secondly, we return to the Sacred Lesson of “Skin of Dark Soil.” In the wake of the alluded incident, despite the fact the alleged actor of violence being identified as neither trans nor of dark skin tone, Historically Black Universities and Schools were issued a multitude of terroristic threats from Deceptuary’s devotees. As you can deduce, Deceptuary’s followers have desperately attempted to link a case of evil attacking evil and tried to blame Black persons for it despite the fact that there is not link between the two. This, more than anything, is the epitome of evil’s incessive and opportunistic malevolence.

This becomes both ironic and also more in the forefront when considered the individual who was killed in this incident himself regularly espoused heinous rhetoric about a myriad of things, such as attacking the legacy and work of Martin Luther King, Jr., criticizing the passage of crucial Civil Rights laws that pertained to the rights of Black people in the United States, calling the existence of LGBTQ+ people who simply are just existing as destructive, claiming the cost of freedom had to include being negligent and ambivalent to child casualties of mass shootings in schools, mocking similar situations of political violence against people he hated in the political arena, and finally coming to the baffling conclusion that human empathy was unimportant and considered “woke.” Even in the very last moments before the incident, rhetoric was being tossed insinuating that violence in the country was the fault of Black Americans in the country just prior to having been shot violently by someone who was anything but. In every way, meeting a spiritual end in the same way as the legendary activist he criticized, ended by someone who was parallel to himself physically, in a situation that involved a shooting at a place of education, and done in the most unempathetic way possible, makes this the most ironic end one could receive; theigrits undo themselves with every word said. The Sacred Lesson of “The Faces of Death” comes into focus here; to paraphrase, Death will present itself to you in the form you present yourself to Death.

We also can take the time to be astounded by the speeches made by high level state officials. After the culprit was found and revealed to be physically not a dark-skinned person or someone who was foreign to the nation, a high level state official openly stated, in front of live video recording, that he had spent the last 33 hours ‘”hoping and praying that the shooter wouldn’t be one of us…that he would be from another state or country.” These are the kind of prayers that theigrits conduct when hoping to aim Deceptuary’s fear at the groups he hates most. Stating openly that they prayed for such a case is the epitome of theigrited philosophy at work—praying for an opportunity to blame those that they hate.

When we return to the overall takeaway from the Sacred Lesson itself, we are reminded of Deceptuary’s many fears—namely his acute fear of Lord Kurakku. To recount, Lord Kurakku is described by Daetos as being of dark complexion—skin of dark soil—and that His Sacred Incarnate, Jaszmisia, is likewise of this complexion. Deceptuary has long-since feared Lord Kurakku because of the Lord’s attribute of Divine Punishment. Through this power, the Lord has the divine power to chamber eternally and punish all forms of corruption within Terigath’s Hell. This, of course, means the Lord can chamber and Punish Deceptuary’s energy and his broken apart spirit. Deceptuary fears and reviles Lord Kurakku’s ability to do this, and has made it a goal of his to attack both Sacred Child Jaszmisia but also all who resemble the Lord and the Child; this means that all individuals of dark skin are immediately targeted by Deceptuary’s evil as the Theigriet fears all in the image of the Lord of Punishment.

Thus, the threats issued to HBCUs. Despite not having anything to do with the alluded incident and despite the culprit not being dark-skinned and a member of that same faction of evil, theigrits wasted no time and took the opportunity to target Black individuals anyway—using the wake of violence to initiate malevolent attack against that which Deceptuary fears. This is how evil operates—out of pitiful fear and opportunistic malice. They are depraved, they are shameless, cowardly, and pathetic, must like the Theigriet himself. Yet, in the end, they undo themselves with their Hubris, and fall into their own pits that they dug for others. It is the job of the Ordinance and of all Xyphoites to set up the conditions to protect against this evil. We are not in fear, for we know what fear has done to the Theigriet. While evil seeks to set up a mass graveyard of the innocent, we shall assure those innocents are protected, and will proceed to replace the dirt from the grave dug for us and ultimately fallen into by evil.
