"Hail Satan!"

'Dear dark father': Watch Midwest town council open meeting with 'Hail Satan' invocation

Man praying calls for a rejection of "arcane doctrines," pursuit of 'luciferian impulses to eat of the tree of knowledge"

The town council in a Midwestern American enclave, Ottumwa, Iowa, has opened its meeting with a petition to "Hail Satan," and the resulting backlash triggered the council to shut down comments to its posted video.

The invocation included addressing "Dear dark father" as well as a rejection of "arcane doctrines." It seeks to pursue 'luciferian impulses to eat of the tree of knowledge."



Politics has shifted in this town; • The political landscape shifted significantly starting in 2016. Donald Trump won Ottumwa and Wapello County in 2016, 2020, and extended his margin in 2024 (carrying the county by over 13 points).

This is so sick and demonic! What is wrong with these elected officials allowing this lunacy? They're inviting Satan into the chamber into government into our world and lives it's disgusting we need to pray to end and get rid of Satan and all these demons that lurk and destroy all of us! These people are sick! Anyone who allowed this should be cast out of government altogether it's sick and I think if I remember correctly this was allowed in lake Worth one time too that some satanist had come in to do the opening prayer of the meeting and they were allowed to do it it's disgusting where are people's morals where are people's standards and common sense? Is everyone godless today! Please pray! I'm saying a Saint Michael prayer right now!!

St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

By the way this prayer has a lot of power! Say it when you're in danger or when you sense some kind of evil or demonic presence it has a lot of power, I say it all the time! Committed it to memory!

It is sad that some sick godless so called artist uses their talent to promote a politics of hate! Ironically, all the haters talk about President Trump hating, but he never hates, he has never been racist that I have seen. Yes, he can be brash and have an ego sometimes, but he loves this country, works so hard, and has some of the best policies for our country and Americans. He has been persecuted second to Jesus almost, some people are such haters like this artist, some of you all have so much TDS. Just because some of us do not agree with globalism and global warming/climate change. Yes, climates are changing constantly, they always have, there are cycles and our climate will continue to have cycles, but even Al Gore lied to us and now over 20 years, the people who say they follow science do not really seem like they do. I find this statue and implication offensive, not just to President Trump, but to our country, the United State of America, and me as an American, it offends me. It is senseless, godless, evil, and completely insensitive and thoughtless by this so called artist, who evidently has no god in him. It seems demonic and as if you are a slave for Satan of sorts. The artists' message is a message more of hate and wickedness. God cannot be pleased. So many today love to spout their hate, or show it this way through art, but it is sinful, hateful, and nasty, so offensive. I am offended by it, and feel bad for my President, Donald J. Trump. I think the President needs to ask it be removed, and if the European Union will not comply, then cut all funding and ties, remove our troops and not be part of this club of hate of yours. Hate is evil, we saw it in Germany in both WWI and WWII, the Nazis were real haters very evil.  This statue is evil too.  We as Americans do not need to be part of this hate club of yours. Jens Galschiøt, shame on you! We love our President Trump! You offended him, our great country, and each of us as American citizens here!  President Trump is not an orange plague, your hate is! I am glad our President Trump worships Jesus, not your golden statue of hate like you do. Turn to Jesus! Get some mental health help for your hate and TDS please.  Please know that I am praying for all you haters! Don't let your hate prevent you from getting into Heaven! 


I am very offended by seeing this hate art in the news this week, it is offensive toward our President, the USA, and all Americans. Very tasteless and godless, almost demonic and I think that statue should be removed. I am writing to the European Parliament, the artist about this too and also posting it on my website, and maybe some news outlets. I am offended by this hate art toward our country, people, and President.

You can't talk or reason with or rationalize with haters and people who are demonic or have demons in them it's really sad even like Beatrix von stoch from Germany she was against the statue that they did of Trump too and she says the same thing you just can't reason with haters! It's only showing what haters they are they're no different than the Nazis back in the 30s and 40s. The liberal left is just a bunch of haters! Plain and simple!
