If you see the name Gunderson, it's time to roll your eyes and turn the page. As far as I'm concerned, he is part of a disinformation sideshow. Whether it's simple greed or something more sinister, he is a purveyor of crap.

A former FBI agent, Ted Gundersen, who investigated Satanic circles in LA, found that Crowley’s teachings about 'raising demons to do one’s bidding' suggested human sacrifice, preferably of 'an intelligent young boy'.

If a Rosicrucian practices sex magic, that does not make the Rosicrucian order a sex cult.
It is possible that the theory of sex magic is taught in theOTO order, but as far as I know, as in most esoteric orders, theory is as far as it goes. From a practical (physical contact) point of view, it is probably a lot tamer than some of the more hands-on orders such as Wicca, but even an order such as Wicca, where physical magick rituals are worked during their ceremonies, has never been considered a sex cult.

Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) (Order of the Temple of the East or Order of Oriental Templars) is an international fraternal and religious organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century. English author and occultist Aleister Crowley has become the best-known member of the order.
Masonic Foundations
Theodor Reuss, in addition to being the head of his revival of the Bavarian Order of Illuminati, was also the Grand Master of the Swedenborgian Rite of Freemasonry in Germany (charter dated July 26, 1901 from W. Wynn Wescott), Special Inspector for the Martinist Order in Germany (charter dated June 24, 1901 from Gérard Encausse), and Magus of the High Council in Germania of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (letter of authorization dated Feb. 24, 1902 from W. Wynn Wescott). With Kellner’s assistance, Reuss applied to English Masonic scholar, John Yarker (1833-1913), to purchase charters to operate three systems of high-grade Freemasonry known as the Antient and Primitive Rite of Memphis of 97°, the Ancient Oriental Rite of Mizraim of 90°, and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of 33° (Cernau Council of New York, 1807).
Reuss received letters-patent as a Sovereign Grand Inspector General 33° of the Cernau Scottish Rite from Yarker dated September 24, 1902. According to a published transcript, Yarker issued on the same date a warrant to Reuss, Franz Hartmann and Henry Klein to operate a Sovereign Sanctuary 33°-95° of the Scottish, Memphis and Mizraim rites. Yarker issued a second charter confirming Reuss’s authority to operate said rites on July 1, 1904; and Reuss published a transcript of an additional confirming charter dated June 24, 1905. Reuss commenced publication of a masonic journal, The Oriflamme, in 1902.

These rites, along with the Swedenborgian Rite, were adopted as integral elements within the overall scheme of the Order. The Swedenborgian Rite included a version of the Craft degrees, and the Cernau Scottish Rite and the Rites of Memphis and Mizraim provided a selection of the workable “high grades” as nearly complete as had ever existed. Together, they provided a complete system of Masonic initiation at the disposal of the Order. With the incorporation of these rites, the Order was enabled to operate as a completely independent Masonic system. Reuss and Kellner together prepared a brief manifesto for their Order in 1903, which was published the next year in The Oriflamme. Kellner died on June 7, 1905, and Reuss assumed full control of the Order. With the assistance of co-founders Franz Hartmann and Heinrich Klein, Reuss prepared a Constitution for the Order in 1906.
Carl Kellner
The Spiritual Father of Ordo Templi Orientis was Carl Kellner (Renatus, Sept. 1, 1851 – June 7, 1905), a wealthy Austrian paper chemist. Kellner was a student of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism and Eastern mysticism, and traveled extensively in Europe, America and Asia Minor. During his travels, he claims to have come into contact with three Adepts (a Sufi, Soliman ben Aifa, and two Hindu Tantrics, Bhima Sena Pratapa of Lahore and Sri Mahatma Agamya Paramahamsa), and an organization called the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light.
I beg to disagree. I have taken a long hard look at him specifically and many of his ilk...Stew Webb among them. I think they attack each other to establish levels of legitimacy with those who follow their antics, but are associates in the larger scheme of things. The Franklin Cover-up stinks, but its 'exposure' is suspect as well. You need to dig deeper to get an idea of what's going on. I got two levels down from where you are at. The first led me to question what was being doled out. The next led me to back off...one of the only two circumstances where I have dropped a line of inquiry as I felt it was unsafe to proceed. So - do you take the red pill or the blue pill? It's now your call.

IF what you said were in fact true, disinformation agents such as Barbara Hartwell, and Stew Webb etc. would not be trying to discredit him.
IF what you said were true, Gunderson would not have dedicated his life to exposing crimes such as The Franklin Cover-Up and child sex trafficking rings.
Whether knowingly or not, you have effectively done exactly what you are accusing Gunderson of doing.
I sure am glad I am not as frightened as you are.
Freemasons are men. I bet some of them have sex as well as watch it.
