It Happened Again: The First Prayer at Battle Ground, Washington’s City Council Meeting Just Went to SATAN
Dear God. It happened again.
The first prayer at Battle Ground, Washington’s city council meeting just went to SATAN.
The mayor warned everyone not to interrupt while the lady with the buzzcut and demonic shirt said the Satanic prayer.
One woman even dashed in and moved her mic closer so everyone could hear her loud and clear.
SATANIC TEMPLE SPEAKER: “Let us never bow our heads or bend the knee in obeisance to any faith from the past that is based on ignorant, bigoted savagery.”
“Hail Satan, the archetype or symbol of the bringer of knowledge, and hail thyself.”
Seconds later: “Please stand with me if you’d like to pledge allegiance…”

- ‘Hail Satan’ Prayer at Alaska Government Meeting Sparks Outrage
by HANNAH BLEAU, https://www.breitbart.com/
A walkout occurred at an Alaska government meeting Tuesday after an official ended a prayer by uttering the words “Hail Satan,” local media reports.
–
The official, Iris Fontana — who also happens to be a member of the Satanic Temple — delivered an invocation ahead of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting Tuesday, sealing the prayer with “Hail Satan.”
–
“Let’s cast aside our differences, to use reason, logic, science and compassion to create solutions for the greater good of our community,” Fontana said. “It is done. Hail Satan. Thank you.”
–
Almost a dozen people walked out in protest, including Mayor Charlie Pierce. Additionally, a number of protesters stood outside, local media reports. Technically, the satanic prayer was permissible due to pushes from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Alaska. KSRM reports:
–
In October, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that the borough’s previous prayer policy violated the State Constitution. The lawsuit was brought on by the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska. The previous policy only allowed certain groups to deliver the invocation.
–
The borough then passed a resolution to amend their policy at their meeting on November 20 to broaden the scope of eligible invocation providers to better reflect the diversity of beliefs in the borough.
–
One of the protesters flew from Pennsylvania to protest the satanic invocation.

- Satanic Temple ‘Invocation’ Sparks Chaos at Ottawa County Board Meeting
by THE MIDWESTERNER STAFF
Board policy changed in January, allowing pastors to address commissioners if they follow specific procedures
–
Shouts of “hail Satan” were met with “we love Jesus.”
Others in the packed foyer of conservative Ottawa County’s Fillmore Complex on Tuesday toted signs that read “Satan has no rights” and “one nation under God” as Commissioner Rebekah Curran handed out cookies with the Bible verse John 3:16, WOOD reports. When a member of The Satanic Temple of West Michigan delivered the invocation to start the meeting, a viewing room for the overflow crowd descended into chaos.
–
“Jesus be glorified in this place,” one man preached as others watched the invocation on a projector screen. “Jesus be glorified, the name above all names.”
–
The tumultuous start to Tuesday’s meeting follows a change to board policy in January that allowed pastors to address commissioners if they follow specific procedures. The move was prompted by complaints from a LGBTQ activist pastor from Grand Haven who sued the county after he was not chosen to offer an invocation, according to MLive.
