Its ultimate goal was to establish a separate Aryan homeland in the U.S. Pacific Northwest which would function independently from the U.S. government. To finance the plan, in 1983 and 1984 the group conducted a series of armored-car robberies that netted over $4.5 million for their cause...

Ordo Sinistra Vivendi Australia - - - - 1998 *LINK* Ireland, Rowan. Web site: La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia; web page: "New Religious Associations in Australia ", written January 1998. (Viewed 4 July 1999). "The Ordo Sinistra Vivendi is an esoteric Order of the Western Tradition. Its goal is a new and vital Western Imperium by way of the Galactic Aeon. Members seek to restore balance to both the individual and the societies of Western Civilisation. They oppose those creeds, political and religious, which seek to undermine the Western peoples. The Order consists of men and women who are bound by their personal destinies to progress (in times past this was the original meaning of the word evil: to go beyond measure) to the next step in human evolution. Traditional Satanism offers an understanding of the forces that create and shape change in the phenomenal world. Members of Ordo Sinistra Vivendi believe that they are able to understand the reality of carnal existence because they are not constrained by the abstract moralities of the rest of Humanity. They believe this to be the essence of Heresy, the way of the Prince of Darkness. "

(Viewed 4 July 1999). "The Ordo Templi Orientis (Order of the Temple of the East) or O.T.O. was founded in 1902 by a wealthy Austrian paper chemist Karl Kellner, who was also a Freemason, a scholar of Eastern mysticism, and an initiate of an organisation called the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, or the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light. Kellner is regarded as the 'Spiritual Father' of the O.T.O., which was co-founded by Theodor Reuss, Franz Hartmann, and Henrich Klein. The O.T.O. is perhaps best known for its involvement with the poet and mystic Aleister Crowley, who served as the world (or Outer) Head of O.T.O. from 1922 until his death in 1947. "

Orgonomy USA - - - - 1994 Cohen, Daniel. Cults. Brookfield, Connecticut: Millbrook Press (1994); pg. 29-31. "A Medical Cult: While the word 'cult' most commonly is applied to religious groups, political, scientific, and medical theories have often developed followings that can properly be described as cultlike. Take the curious case of Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Dr. Reich was a brilliant and influential medical man. He was an early disciple of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. During the 1920s and 1930s, Reich was nearly as well known as his famous mentor. At some point Reich came to believe that he had discovered a previously unknown form of energy that he called 'orgone energy.'... His Institute of Orgonomy, located on Long Island, New York, was filled by his most devoted followers... He died [in jail] in 1957... A small coterie of believers in Reich's orgone theories still exists. "
