Florida Senate Candidate Drank Goat Blood
[Source: Augustus Sol Invictus/Facebook]Augustus Sol Invictus, which according to Slate means “majestic sun god”, and is not the man’s given name, denied most of those allegations.
Invictus says his words are being twisted as part of a smear campaign. “I know that’s probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans”, Invictus told the Orlando Sentinel via a phone interview.
The 32-year-old lawyer and probable fascist is running as a Libertarian to replace Marco Rubio as one of Florida’s two representatives in the U.S. Senate, and his history is fairly insane.
“I did sacrifice a goat”.
Invictus knows running as a Libertarian is a longshot – Wyllie was easily Florida’s most well-received Libertarian candidate and he only received 3.8 percent of the vote – and he acknowledges that being a pagan will hurt him with an electorate that tends to support Christians.
He’s also known for having authored a rather interesting letter in which he gave up his associations with just about everything in his life and he declared a “Second Civil War”.
“I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness…Yes, I drank the goat’s blood”.
New LPF Chair, Char-Lez Braden, said today, “Legally, the LPF has no control over a candidate’s political affiliation”. That’s not his birth name, by the way.
“He’s promoting a second civil war”, Adrian Wyllie, chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida said.
When asked by the AP if he still believed in a war that would alter the course of the world, Invictus claimed the government was already at war with its people and that he was not the only person to foresee a revolution.
“Mr. Invictus practices Thelema, an occult pagan religion based on the teachings of Aleister Crowley”, Wyllie wrote.
On his website, Invictus says he uses Benito Mussolini’s logo because it “dates back to the Roman Republic and represents strength through unity”. He is confident they’re still watching him, in part for a series of YouTube videos and other writings in which he discusses government. In that way, the rise of a dark Sith lord like this is really just the chickens coming home to roost, and I don’t feel bad for them at all. Once you kill a cow, you have to make a burger I suppose.
