In the world, over the centuries-old history, there have been many of the most diverse mysterious organizations: from ridiculous to warlike. Each such community is in its own way a story of human stupidity and delusion.
In 2012, world news agencies reported the transcript of a mysterious document originally designated Codex Copiale. There is no provenance, as well as information about the current owner of the manuscript. According to some reports, the 105-page manuscript, intertwined in green with a gold eyelet, was discovered in the archives of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR back in the 1970s.
A group of scientists from different countries managed to uncover the code and read a mysterious book. It turned out that the codex, written in 18th century German, contains the initiation ritual of a German secret (Masonic-like) society called Oculisten ("Opening the eyes").
The members of the secret society were ophthalmological surgeons from the Lower Saxon city of Wolfenbüttel, who imagined themselves as healers and custodians of all medical knowledge about the structure of the eye and vision. They are known to have dealt with cataracts. But no one except the initiates had any idea what was going on behind the scenes of this secret society, where a newcomer joining the ranks of the society was taught to "see" by plucking his hair from his eyebrows. After it was possible to decipher other pages of the manuscript, it turned out that Oculisten had another mission - to keep an eye on the Freemasons.
The documents of this secret society included the top secret rituals of freemasons, down to the highest degrees of Freemasonry. Now they are fairly well known, but at that time such information could only be obtained through espionage. Perhaps the Oculisten were either spies or a splinter group from Freemasonry created to preserve their basic rituals if the Roman Catholic Church decides to deal with them in the same way as it did with the Templars.
It is not clear why the secret society of Irish-born miners in the coal mines of Pennsylvania in Liverpool, England and Canada was called Molly Maguires. According to staff at Lehigh University, this was the name of the Irish Catholic who refused to leave her home when she was expelled by the British Protestants. The first mention of this organization is found in the pages of the newspaper The Liverpool Mercury on May 10, 1853.
In an anthracite mine in Pennsylvania, Molly Maguyers replaced missing unions, opposing paltry wages and shrinking working hours from the stock market crash of 1873 to 1878, when the society was disbanded following arrests and executions. Working conditions in the mines, in the absence of safety measures, were appalling. Deaths and serious injuries occurred hundreds of times a year.
The Irish miners of this underground organization used the tried and tested tactics of intimidation and violence against the American coal trusts, which they followed in their struggle against the Irish landlords during the so-called "Land Wars" (or Cogadh na Talún in Irish) between 1870 and x through the 1890s. However, modern historians disagree about Molly Maguyers' commitment to bloody acts.

Members of the Molly Maguyers organization were accused of murder, arson, kidnapping and other criminal offenses. The members of the society were brought to trial on the basis of the testimony of a private detective from the Pinkerton Agency, Irishman James McParlan, also known as James McKenna.
But "Molly Maguyers themselves left little to no evidence of their existence, let alone their goals and motivation." Even before the start of the investigation, based on his personal observations, MacParlan believed that the "Molly Maguyers", being under the pressure of their activity, adopted a new name "The Ancient Order of the Hibernians" (The Ancient Order of Hibernians). After the start of the investigation, he estimated that there were about 450 members of this organization in one of the districts.
It is difficult to accurately answer the question of why so many perverts are found among the British establishment. Perhaps the closedness of the establishments for boys played a role here. Although there were enough such institutions among French and Spanish Catholics, as well as among the Orthodox brethren in Greek monasteries.
On May 25, 1895, English celebrity Oscar Wilde was escorted to London prison after his conviction of sodomy. During the Victorian era, articles sent to prison for homosexuality were especially popular.
Unfortunately, the talented Wilde met with the illegitimate son of an English officer and a Spanish baroness, who later became the writer and poet George Cecil Ives. In 1892, Ives tried to draw the attention of a celebrity to the problems of homosexuals, but he, to his great dismay, did not express the slightest interest in the fate of persecuted gays.
In 1897 Ives created the secret Order of Chaeronea - the Order of Chaeronea. For the sake of ending the oppression of the gay community, this imaginary fan of antiquity named his brainchild in honor of the Battle of Chaeronea, which took place in August 338 BC, when in the battle with the phalanx of Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, the Sacred detachment of the city of Thebes, which supposedly consists of lover friends. The mistake lay in the misinterpretation of the Greek word for "close or intimate friend", although it is possible that some warriors used their comrades in arms as sexual partners.
Examining the corpses of the dead, Philip wept and said: "Let those who suspect them that they were the culprits or accomplices of anything shameful perish by an evil death."
Centuries later, an insignificant group of Oxford clickers who translated ancient Greek texts did not find anything more valuable in them than popularizing - alas, sometimes literally - same-sex relationships. Based on their own perversions, the degenerates of the century before last raised the defense of homosexuality and other sexual perversions to their foul standards.
The same crap reigned in the brains of these leaders as in their morals. You had to be seven spans in your forehead to entrust the business of public (!) Protection of the "honor and dignity" of queers to the corrupted members of the underground society!
In 1912, first the English-speaking and then the world community learned partial details of the activity of the secret society of leopard people operating in West Africa. The existence of such a cult is so secret in the countries of the Black Continent, where hundreds of people die from the claws and teeth of predators every year, it is difficult to determine whether the onlooker-tourist or native was torn apart by an animal, or whether he fell from the hands of killers who imitated a leopard attack.
In the 1950s, a significant proportion of the Yoruba people professed Islam or Christianity, but they still have strong ancient beliefs. Among the most authoritative secret societies in Africa are Egungun, Oro and Ogboni. In addition to the secret societies of leopards and crocodiles, there is also a secret society of baboons.
Little is known about the motives of the members of these societies. For example, whether they practice cannibalism or not. Often, white colonialists invented stories of supposedly savage and barbaric tribes in order to justify their illegal and blasphemous deeds in the countries conquered by the West.
