Introduction: 1943 as a Pivotal Spiritual Transition

The year 1943 marked a climactic phase of World War II and, according to some esoteric commentators, a turning point in spiritual warfare. On the physical plane, 1943 saw decisive events (Stalingrad’s aftermath, Allied advances, etc.), but many claim it also unleashed or revealed new occult forces. For instance, the development of the atomic bomb during this era has been interpreted in occult terms – splitting the atom was seen as “fracturing the baseline of reality… punching a hole in what is”fantasticmetropolis.com, an alchemical breach between the material and spiritual worlds. In the same decade, notorious occultist Aleister Crowley and his circle (like Jack Parsons) were reportedly conducting rituals in the desert southwest “contacting” otherworldly entities not far from where the first nuclear test would occurfantasticmetropolis.com. Around October 28, 1943, the legendary Philadelphia Experiment supposedly took place – an alleged U.S. Navy test to render the USS Eldridge invisible, which, if true, had “bizarre results” on its crewen.wikipedia.org. And in Nazi Europe, Heinrich Himmler and the SS dove deeper into arcane projects, from pseudo-scientific searches for ancient power to grotesque human experiments. One commentator described the period from the Nazi rise to Crowley’s death (1947) as “an orgy of strange attractions, unbelievable violence and the struggle between the life and death urges of humanity”fantasticmetropolis.com – suggesting that World War II’s battles had a spiritual-occult dimension that “never really ended”. In this report, we will audit such claims and examine what really emerged around 1943, evaluating them against historical records and biblical scripture.

The “Babylonian Containment” System After 1943

One intriguing claim is that a “Babylonian containment system” was established in the post-1943 world – essentially a spiritual matrix or oppressive order likened to Babylon the Great from biblical prophecy. The term itself is not standard, but it evokes the idea of an occult or ideological structure designed to “contain” humanity’s soul or spiritual progress under Babylon’s sway. After WWII, indeed, new global systems arose: the United Nations formed in 1945, the Cold War power blocs, intelligence agencies (CIA in 1947, etc.), and various secret programs. Conspiracy literature often links these developments with esoteric agendas, suggesting that the victors of WWII (including former Nazi and Allied occultists) helped set up a hidden Babylon-like empire – one that controls nations through deception, fear, and sorcery.

From a biblical perspective, “Babylon” symbolizes a corrupt world system intoxicated with power and evil. In Revelation we read of “Mystery Babylon” as a harlot ruling over the nations, “drunk with the blood of the saints”biblehub.com. This metaphorical Babylon enslaves or “trades” in “the bodies and souls of men”biblehub.com. If a containment system was erected, its hallmarks (global domination, spiritual bondage, exploitation of lives) would indeed mirror the Babylon of prophecy. Notably, Revelation 18:23 warns that Babylon’s elite “deceived all nations” by their sorceriesbiblehub.com – a striking parallel if we consider how post-1943 institutions might use mass propaganda, occult knowledge, or even mind-control science (a modern “sorcery”) to mislead populations. The “Babylonian” label also reflects how some occultists themselves adopted Babylon imagery. Aleister Crowley venerated the archetype of the Scarlet Woman “Babalon”, viewing her as a powerful goddess-figure and gateway to hidden wisdomen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. In 1946, Crowley’s protege Jack Parsons attempted the “Babalon Working” rituals to manifest this divine feminine – essentially to unleash the Babylon spirit into the worldoccult.live. Ironically, what Crowley’s circle sought to release, others describe as a containment: a spiritual stronghold of Babylon that would hold captive the souls of mankind in deception.

It is difficult to prove the existence of a coordinated Babylonian-occult containment system as described by conspiracy theorists. However, we can verify that after 1943 key figures and programs did perpetuate occult ideas and mechanisms on a broad scale. Let’s examine two such figures – Heinrich Himmler and Aleister Crowley – and the alleged occult mechanisms (from Masonic rites to trauma-based mind control) that link them to this narrative.

Occult Activities of Heinrich Himmler and Nazi Germany

Heinrich Himmler, head of Hitler’s SS, was deeply involved in mysticism and esoteric ideology during the Nazi era. Historical documentation shows that Himmler envisioned the Nazi elite as a sort of occult order. He established the Ahnenerbe institute (1935) to research the ancestral Aryan heritage, which included expeditions in search of ancient relics and occult knowledgeen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. Himmler was fascinated with medieval witchcraft and pagan rituals; he even ordered the creation of a “witch library” (Hexenkartothek) compiling records of witch trials, believing that medieval witches were Aryan wise women persecuted by the Churchresearch.uca.ac.ukresearchgate.net. At Wewelsburg Castle in Germany, which he made the SS’s ceremonial center, Himmler conducted arcane ceremonies – attempting to revive a knightly cult of the “Teutonic Knights” with SS officers cast as a modern Round Tablejamestwining.comlandmarkscout.com. Wewelsburg was to be expanded into the literal “Center of the World” for the new orderen.wikipedia.org.
