English Freemasonry is wealthy and capitalistic, controlling the money and rulers of the world through banking and commerce. French Freemasonry, on the other hand, is poor and communistic, attempting to control state finances through an all-powerful socialistic government.

English Freemasonry, Banks, and the Illegal Drug Trade documents how English Freemasonry has acquired domination and control of world banking, including possession of most of the world's gold, and how today she is destroying the Judeo-Christian heritage of the West by financing the growth, manufacture, and trafficking of illegal drugs worldwide. This last book finds the Harlot's abominable cup in the hands of English Freemasonry.

Revelation 18:23 describes the servants and methods of the Harlot: "for thy merchants were the great men of the Earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." The Greek words for sorceries and sorcerers are used in the book of Revelation in a manner unlike any other place in Scripture. In Revelation 9:21, 18:23, 21:8, 22:15, the Greek words are pharmakeia, pharmakeus, pharmakon, and pharmakos, and refer only to Mystery Babylon and her one-world system. From these Greek words we receive such ordinary English words as pharmaceutical, pharmacy, and pharmacist.

The "real thing", according to the Witters, has nothing to do with calling on the revealed God of the Holy Bible to help in lifting the curse of drug addiction, but rather with petitioning pagan gods through mystic meditation to achieve the same euphoric state without the use of drugs. "Some people who meditate", confirm the Witters,

"reach a deep state of relaxation and tranquility that is called satori... This systematized practice is what yoga, Sufism, Zen Buddhism, and other spiritual paths are about".

The Witters unwittingly confirm that the use of drugs in Western society has caused many to stray from Christian orthodoxy to Eastern and New Age mysticism:

People who have not yet learned to meditate effectively continue to use drugs, because they seem to work immediately, whereas meditation requires regular, daily practice and some discipline, especially at first... Those who select the psychedelics, especially for spiritual and mystical experiences, might find greater appeal in studies of mysticism and meditation.

As we saw in volume one of Scarlet and the Beast, Eastern mysticism and our modern New Age movement are identical in nature. Just as mind-altering drugs were used to draw people into the pagan mystery religions of times past, so too are they used today: to entice and seduce people from the true religion of Christianity and draw them into worship in the harlot religion called Mystery Babylon.

"reach a deep state of relaxation and tranquility that is called satori... This systematized practice is what yoga, Sufism, Zen Buddhism, and other spiritual paths are about".
