- Damien Echols and Eddie Vedder in Conversation about HIGH MAGICK, a guide to the Spiritual Practices That Saved My Life on Death Row (released by Sounds True) at The Neptune Theatre, Seattle on Nov. 19, 2018. Introduction by Lorri Davis. At age 18, Damien Echols was sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. "I spent my years in prison training to be a true magician," he writes. "I used magick - the practice of reshaping reality through our intention and will - to stave off incredible pain, despair, and isolation but the most amazing feat of all that practice and study was to manifest my freedom." With HIGH MAGICK, this bestselling author shares his first teaching book on the powerful spiritual techniques that helped him survive and transcend his ordeal on death row. What is High Magick? Most people either think of magic as stage illusions or an occult practice involving dark rituals. "Magick is an incredible deep, meaningful, spiritual tradition that equals the Eastern practices of Buddhism and Taoism in beauty," says Echols. "It's an ancient discipline that lets you literally change reality by working with the divine energies of creation."

Anyone here from TMG episode 3?
the fish man spoke of enlightenment through magic I needed to follow up lol
"Magick is what I do" lol.
I've already read some other works in metaphysics and TMG brought Damien to my attention.
Tiny meat gang?
TheRavingMadman Cody and Noel talks about magic ? Lmao
@@maplemen that's what! I wonder where this is from.
Do you know?
So great 2 see Eddie Vedder in this interview..supporting Damien..who is the most amazing man..esp. considering what all he's been through in his life. What a testimonial 4 the rest of us! 🙂🙂💕💕
I see a sad brainwashed pawn . Damion has Him straight up under a spell
You’re pathetic to call this guy an amazing man.
No satanic pedo is amazing.
Really interesting. His story is very distinct. This man went through the types of deprivation at a very early age in life. It made it much easier for him to aspire to find out what was beyond flesh. And he found it. What he and others are telling people, is that you don't have to find it; you just have to realize it. Consciousness. We don't have to find it. We have to realize it. There's a big difference between the two.
I'm not so sure about the 'easy' part.
This plato all over
Fascinating! Beautiful! Thank you both so much.❤❤❤❤❤
Eddie is an excellent listener. Thank you Damien for your wisdom as well!
Really? He spoke as much as the interviewed person.
Just because you speak a lot does not mean you don't listen. Just please focus how Eddie is looking at Danien and Eddie also waits to speak after Danien is finished speaking.
I have never related to an interview more. Thank you Damien.
U realize dudes guilty right ?
@@jasona5833You share too much of yourself, no discretion
Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world, I can listen to Damien talk forever. Can't wait to get the book in the mail and keep hoping that he one day will visit Oslo, Norway again.
Har han vært i Norge? Og BTW, for en fjott denne «zz» personen som har kommentert til deg er 🤦🏼♀️ Virker som det er noen få folk med en agenda som kommenterer på en haug av disse videoene.

Thank you
Absolutely wonderful interview. I think the guidance I've been seeking has just been discovered. Simply poetic. Thank you Eddie Vedder and Damien Echols. One love.
Thank You for Posting This🤘
So grateful to watch this. Was disappointed when I couldn’t attend IRL. Thank you kindly.
Damien's roundabout way of returning to ceremonial magic after exploring techniques of the far East reminds me of Jung's path too. Jung came to the conclusion that, ultimately, the Western mind is fitted for the Western path - which has it's roots in the Near and Middle East. My foray into Eastern techniques was useful inasmuch as it let me know what will not work for me.
Allen Bennet left The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn in order to fulfill his calling to lead a Buddhist Ashram.
Well done Damien. You’ve become the truest of high teachers 🙏 I’m happy to be a long time supporter of the Southern Poverty Law Conference. I pray that horrors like what you went through may someday be abolished forever. Thanks to Eddie Vedder for championing truth and justice through the platform his art has created.
Terrific interview.
@ 18:07 cracks me up because I bought ‘High Magik’ as my first audio book. I have always been the a**h*%#* person to tell people that reading is more important than listening to an Audiobook. Then I listened to High Magik via audiobook and and audiobook changed my life. So funny to learn that Damian recorded it first from his voice. Information is information, does not matter where it comes from.
others start reading the bibel the first time, when they are in prision, damien is practicing old school ritual magic! ^^
The bible is a magikal book
@@DEadSpaCE211 Shame it has such a sado masochistic blood soaked reputation though.
The Arkansas state attorneys and police also think its their book ......👍😇
In fact , most of Uncle Sam's one party state (also known as "God's Own Cuntry" ) and "Our fine Military" swears by it .
@@PAULLONDEN tell me what doesn’t have a blood soaked reputation? You do realize all of humanity’s history up until now was conquering, pillaging, and mass genocide over and over again. Humanity just now over thousands if not millions of years has became “civil”. But even now we are not “civil” just barbaric in another form. No exscuses for the Bible, but understand that was the way of life for humanity. Mass genocide will happen again but this time on a scale that is unimaginable because of technology.
@@jacelo That's a sensible evaluation. It was merely a description of the then present times. Which doesn't excuse it though. Especially when people still subscribe to it. Who wants a life guide with all this blood and gore ? Unless it serves a purpose for people to see their own misery in perspective.
The same reason why lots of people like to read bad news.
@@DEadSpaCE211 the bible is not magical. It is the miraculous truth revealed to the world through the power of GOD, Yahweh, Yeshua Hamaschiach. People can try to use it unrighteously in rituals or w.e. but the lord will judge every one of us. Let Jesus come into your life fully and God will give you ETERNAL LIFE, Praise God

When he got to around 30 minutes and mentioned the words holographic/Matrix I was amazed. I say that to myself always that I live in a holographic world and my thoughts are instructions to form my environment. Quantum Witch or just a person playing with the energy.
This is exactly the thing i am into also. I believe we live in a simulation ( the matrix theory i guess you would call it) . Ive never heard of the thought process giving you instructions for your environment. I totally get it and love how you put it. I 100% believe that now. Thank you for introducing me to another way of thinking ;-)

@@Marko..895 youre awesome😁😊💙
He's a sociopath so it doesn't take much to make him a good liar. I work in a prison, by the way. And if he'd lie about his "medical condition" which he DEFINITELY did, then he's perfectly capable of lying about other things.
There was a brief period of time after the INCOMPLETE Hollywood documentaries came out (that didn't contain a lot of the information the JURIES had been privy to..........why did the documentaries intentionially leave things out ?), where people thought there was a miscarriage of justice. But now, MOST people that look at the FACTS in the case know that he's guilty.
Alot of cases in the States are settled because it's not worth the time and money to try them or REtry them and/or the perpetrators have already done a lot of prison time. In this particular case, the WM3 thought it would be in THEIR best interest to take the Alford plea. The Alfrod plea means they took a guilty plea.
Many of the parents of the victims had problems; two were drug addicts, one had an arrest for being drunk and disorderly I believe (if you understand the demographics of the area these people were from, it makes sense, :)).
But one of the victims had normal parents, who were still married/in a stable relationship, and didn't seem to be so dysfunctional in And these people; Michael Moore's parents, believe the three are guilty. This is what that Michael Moore's father had to say:
Father of WM3 murder victim certain who killed 3 boys
BY TODD MOORE
Guest Columnist
I am the father of West Memphis triple murder victim Michael Moore. I am writing this in response to your editorial in the June 6 edition of The Sun titled “Justice Unserved.” It has always been my opinion that justice was served when Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted in 1994 for the brutal murder of my son and his friends.
The three men who slaughtered my son were convicted by two juries that found them guilty in 1994. Despite this, the Arkansas Supreme Court generously granted the murderers the opportunity for a new evidentiary hearing to be held Dec, 5, 2011, to show evidence they claimed proved their innocence. They could have been granted a new trial to prove these claims of innocence. Instead of presenting their “new evidence” in open court last December, they opted to plead guilty to the murders in August 2011 in exchange for time served.
Second District Prosecuting Attorney Scott Ellington agreed to accept the defense’s plea offer for vague reasons we still don’t understand. Family members learned of the deal only at the last minute. The district attorney was new to the case. But whatever the rational, this continued to make the convicts guilty as a matter of law.
The defense team avoided sharing the results of the tests of everything with us by preemptively entering a guilty plea for their clients. Thanks to the plea deal, we may never know exactly what the defense found when the evidence was retested. Absence of DNA evidence does not prove the West Memphis Three (WM3) are innocent. The killers washed most of the evidence away in the water- filled ditch where they drowned my son. There was plenty of other evidence to convict them in 1994 without positive DNA. Most murderers are convicted without DNA evidence.
The defense attorneys for the WM3 had nearly 20 years to find “the real killer” and failed to do so. After nearly two decades and untold millions in donated funds spent, the best they could do was find a hair that may or may not have belonged to Terry Hobbs, step- father of victim Stevie Branch. It was allegedly found on a shoelace used to tie my son. It has never been proven to actually belong to Terry Hobbs.
Even if it was Terry Hobbs’ hair, that fact would prove nothing. Our sons were best friends, and my child spent considerable time in Terry Hobbs’s home and could have picked up the hair on his shoe. This would be “secondary transfer” and makes the hair of no probative value. The defense has even admitted as much. Terry Hobbs did not murder my son. No credible law enforcement official believes so. Neither did Mark Byers, Mr. Bojangles nor any of the other defense red herrings.
Contrary to your editorial, it is not up to police or the prosecutor to continue to look for “the real killer.” The real killers were arrested and charged back in 1993, were found guilty in 1994 and then admitted their guilt in 2011 after getting a lucky break. To his credit, Prosecutor Ellington has stated many times that his door is open to any new leads and evidence presented to him by the WM3 defense teams.
So far, nothing compelling enough to reopen the case has been presented to him. District Attorney Ellington stated as much the day your editorial appeared. This means despite the defense’s grandiose claims prior to the pleas, not one iota of credible evidence has been presented to show their clients’ innocence or even to view the convicted as anything less than what they are as a matter of law and as a matter-of fact: guilty.
The WM3 defense team has been well-funded by numerous celebrities who were misinformed by the biased “Paradise Lost” documentaries. These one-sided films left out nearly all of the evidence that demonstrated the guilt of the WM3. They caused thousands of people to support the release of the convicted child killers with a very limited unndcrstanding of the actual facts of the case.
Mr. Wessel, it appears that you, like so many others, got most of your misinformation about this case from these inaccurate documentaries. If you would take the time to dig a little deeper and actually read the case file documents, you would know that there was ample evidence to convict these three men for murdering my son. These documents are readily available on websites such as www.callahan.8k.com.
Here are just a few examples of what was omitted from the documentaries:
• Jessie Misskelley confessed to the crime at least five times to police, prosecutors, even his own attorneys with his hand on a Bible. Misskelley confessed the first time after less than four hours of police questioning. That questioning was done with permission from his father. He continued to repeatedly confess in the year that followed.
• Damien Echols amassed a mental health record 500 pages long in the years immediately prior to the murders. In his own handwriting, he classified himself as a “homicidal, suicidal, schizophrenic, sociopath” just a months before he brutally murdered my son.
• Read Damien Echols’ current Twitter account to discover his deep-seated interest in skulls and the occult. There he also recently described artwork depicting a man sawing off his own arm as “breathtaking.” In addition, Echols is obscenely profiting off the death of my son by selling his narcissistic books, promoting his self-serving movie, and tattooing murder groupies with his “mark.” For two hundred dollars, you can have this sociopath tattoo an “X” on your arm. These Twitter posts and money-making schemes are a slap in the face to me, my family and my dead son.
• The movies omit the fact that these three men had no alibis. Damien Echols’ and Jessie Misskelley’s alibis completely fell apart on the stand in the 1994 trials. Jason Baldwin’s attorneys didn’t even bother to present an alibi.
• Fibers consistent with a robe in Jason Baldwin’s home and a shirt in Damien Echols’ home were found on the victims. Blue candle wax found on Chris Byers’ shirt was consistent with candle wax found in Damien Echols bedroom.
• The crime lab found that three different knots were used to hogtie the three victims with their own shoelaces. This points toward multiple killers rather than one killer. Witnesses say that Mr. Bojangles, the disoriented man near the crime scene that night, had a cast on one arm. No one person could have subdued and hogtied three energetic young boys-not Terry Hobbs and certainly not the one-armed Mr. Bojangles.
• A knife that could have been used in the murders was found in a lake behind Baldwin’s home. It was a unique knife with a place hold a compass on the end that witnesses described as similar to one owned by Echols.
• A car full of eyewitnesses placed Echols near the crime scene, covered with dirt, on the night of the murders.
• Numerous friends, acquaintances and cell-mates came forward with tales of confessions from all three defendants.
Throw out one or even several of those facts, and there would still be enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
I sat through those trials. The basic facts need to be put out there. Otherwise, it makes a mockery of my son’s short life.

June Smith Read 1 Corinthians 4:4 to understand that chant, it's satanic. Damien is an admirer and student of the magician and satanist Aleister Crowley.
Ok this looks like something worth that audible trial, I'm in that boat of I hate wasting 5 hours of UA-cam and thinking I gotta look at the news every 2 minutesm I have the free time now to take back more control. Plan to buy it in Kindle if I actually make this a priority I'm just not gonna assume I'm going to do this that's a trap I know now.
I have both books and “life after death” on audible, it’s totally worth it

This was nice, but I would have liked to hear Damien talk more about his department of expertise than prison or wm3 stuff. Eddie seems like such a kind and wonderful person.
That was actually a rather thoughtless comment, it is all relevant to the event and the person he was with here. I will correct myself to keep record of my faulty thought process, rather than just delete the comment.
aren't these lynchers in this section crazy???? They obviously didn't do it
@@morgankelly9725 hahaha, it is really funny how ignorant people are. All 3 did nothing. People just don't just get out of prison for nothing. (yes, i know they did an Alford Plea. the court made them in order to get out. there is no real reason why. thats just how it works in Ak) There was evidence that they were not the killers; there WAS evidence against Terry Hobbs. Even the FAMILIES of the murdered children don't think that the 3 did it now. Damien is the nicest and most caring person who went through hell for absolutely nothing. Ive done research; Ive read his book, Ive read books that are against him. So i know what I'm talking about. All of you religious nut jobs and ignorant nut jobs are just that. NUT JOBS. Do actual research.

Welcome to the club, it’s evolution babe!

Damien is very intelligent, the 17 years stripped from him will always be a scar to him. The government has a lot of making up to do.
22:00 you have to love Damien right here.
I watched all the docs; thought they were innocent. I heard the evidence omitted, heard Damiens 5150 records, heard about Misskelly's 5 separate confessions.....I think they did it.
It’s insane that he very possibly killed those children and he’s sitting there as a celebrity now being celebrated by other celebrities. Fkn sick
It's exhibit 500. Not 5150 dummy.
@@reubensane5539That means he's a badass
@@plutoneptune no that means you’re a Sociopath.
Many people did more than “watch all the docs” and decide they were innocent.
If you did not experience the Satanic Panic you will not understand that period in time.
5 of my friends, including my first love, were demonized as Satanists in 1991/high school and kicked out to “save other students”.
Why?
Because they listened to metal and punk and sometimes wore black concert t-shirts.
If you were a different boy in any way you were a target.
I’m around the same age as Damien. Teens in the 80s were targeted but it overall it was a bit more tame. By the time you got into the 90s some people wanted to squash and seriously punish.any sense of teen rebellion.
I live in the south. I heard about their case as soon as it happened. I followed from the start and nothing about it sat right.
The fact that kids are most often the victims of crimes at the hands of someone they know well was completely ignored in order to blame monsters/demons/satanists that were kids themselves.
DNA evidence has repeatedly only been found on the step fathers of the boys. Many still want to ignore it, and they have allowed the actual murderer(s) to walk for decades.
I have been studying the Satanic Panic almost my entire life, particularly the pseudoscientific repressed/recovered memory psychotherapy craze that started and drove it.
(Note: Politically I have always been on the left and I have hyper focused on left wing involvement in the panic. There was a lot more than most think. The recovered memory movement was a significant left wing/new age event. I differ from Damien here because new age beliefs also resulted in incredible harm and I am just as leery but I note the difference in someone getting by and someone going over the edge.)
RM pseudoscience, new age woo and SRA conspiracies that had both religious fundamentalism and a pseudo postmodernist “post truth” vein, resulted in countless training seminars. It came with radical feminist demands to “believe the victim” that actually involved believing the most absurd and humanly impossible accusation in the room.
Case in point…
The boys bodies were in water/in the woods/in the elements for hours before they were found. The fact that no one considered this shows how far gone investigators were due to these horrible and conspiratorial training seminars.
They decided 3 teenage boys had a special satanic ritual tool made that left a specific set of scratches on the bodies, as opposed to thinking about marks left by wildlife in the area. Turtles left the marks. Not a satanic scratching tool.
This was pervasive during the Satanic Panic. Physical evidence did not exist - never matched the claims in 99.9% of cases.
Reality was not welcome. If you are continuing to deny it in spite of DNA evidence in this case; and repeatedly ignored requests to do more DNA testing, it’s your own idiotic fault.
Really interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing this.
High Magick is a remarkable book. Well done.
♾ 💚
Damien is very open and down to earth and still retains a lot of his small town personality he doesn't strike me as overly cerebral or particularly intelligent but what does make it through is his honesty which seems to make up for whatever he may be lacking in his education. I enjoyed his talk and I wish him the best.
@@junesmith4159 Yeah I've listened to his podcast and he sounds like a guy who really enjoys the occult.
You know Damien comes from very humble beginnings right?
He dropped out of HS and was trying to get disability benefits. That was the “norm” for Damien bc of his upbringing.
I highly doubt if anyone in his family is a college graduate. I’m not being ugly but it’s doubtful his parents even graduated high school.
Have you seen any of the documentaries about this case?
The WM3 were in Damien’s words “bottom of the barrel poor white trash”.
He must be incredibly intelligent.
I doubt family annihilator Chris Watts could effectively use words like “eloquent” or “concise” if his life depended on it.
I would bet money Watts doesn’t know what the phrase “tongue in cheek” means.
Damien’s experienced almost a decade in solitary confinement.
He taught HIMSELF how to speak proper English. He’s 100% self educated.
I wrote this comment before Damien addressed that nobody in his family of origin is educated.
My point is, whether you like him personally or not, he’s an extremely smart man. His vocabulary is far better than the average person.

Vedder's reverential coveting of Echols prison souvenirs is creepy stan behaviour. I wonder if he, like other "oddball" celebs, also has a Gacy painting in his collection. Interesting also is Echols admission that occult practices were his main focus while in jail...that contradicts what the defence framed as a passing fad from a typical teen.

All that acting experience from his youth and his ability to create and control a narrative would definitely help frame Echols image. Never been a PJ fan so all this was news to me. He sounds like a pretentious arsehole according to the statements and observations of the sources. Funny that because Echols presents the same persona.
This is the best interview I've seen from Damien. He seemed really comfortable.
Must be why he is constantly touching his beard and jigging his food real signs of being comfortable 😂
Eddie is one of his closest friends. He used to go personally, many times to visit Damien, bring food and jokes to keep him live and sane.
Damien's "disintegration of the ego" was his "dark night of the soul" during his kundalini awakening. Part of the whole process.
But u don't know anything about it
I understand that Damien’s time on death row has made his eyes sensitive to light but why wear them on dark stages?
He’s a fraud. Look at these two fools.
It's not dark on stage. It is very, very bright when you are on stage.
@@dangerranger2233 it’s bright on stage when the stage lights are brighter. I’ve toured with bands. It’s not quite as dark as these two souls on stage. Pure evil. Keep worshipping false idols, fools.
Thats a bullshit story. Its to look "cool" and "mysterious"

When the 2 become 1...i love the way he described enlightenment
I need some loving like I never been loved before, gonna make love to ya baby.._
Thank you Damien for spreading the message of unity, diversity and individual and collective empowerment!
As above, so below. As within, so without.
Looking forward to reading your latest book, D.E.
Eddie are you serious kkkkkkk
Omg ...
Great presentation, thanks for sharing!
How are those “gun safety” laws going though 😬
✌
eddie vedder look like ryder from gta
Its to walk on the streets without being noticed
Looks like a gay porn star.
So happy for you and your buddies Damian. You are very intelligent and believe it or not bro, you are onto something with practicing magic and the whole energy concept. You have figured something out in this life that not very many have figured out, and for that dude, im so happy for you. Your explanations of this way of living takes me back to when I was studying the book 'No Ordinary Moments' by Dan Millman and also the movie "The Peaceful Warrior" anyways I just wanted to finish this comment by saying everything that Damien has been practicing preaching and describing is exactly what I was studying a half a decade ago but Justin different context and explained in a different way so for those of you who are interested in living that life those are two titles of the same stuff Damien's talking about that you should check out I highly recommend
Thank you so much for this comment. I have read that book years ago and it had a deep and profound impact that was less to do with the book and more to do what i was going thru and how well it related. I hadn't remembered that book when I saw a post asking fro book recommendations... Now I have another book to recommend.
And an younger me to remember.
@@sp1200M3D why are you here what is your purpose. Negativity is not welcome in this comment section. Please take a look at your self and what your reaction is revealing to yourself. Everything happens for you not to you.
So kindly GTFO with your bullshit. Nobody wants to hear that ish. Everything is LOVE you should remember that an all can be forgiven. Anything evil and everything good you are capable of just as is the next person. I haven't seen the documentaries you speak of. I have done my own investigation and concluded my own opinion....
@@sp1200M3D so what of the dna evidence that is scientific proof that they didn't do it. Either way. Why are you dwelling on the past of someone else.
There have been many more murders and deaths since those 3. Take a look at the micro and macro picture. Find peace and happiness inside yourself brother. I feel it in my heart u have truth but may be a bit misguided...
The hardest and most difficult thing I've ever had to accept about gods love is that all is permitted. Even the evils of this world are all apart of gods plan. We are then intended to forgive and hold true to our own rightounsess.
GFM vid 10/27/23 clipped at the 30 minute mark…
i thought he pled guilty with an alfred plea
I had mixed feelings about Damian, I really did. I'm glad I watched this video.
Damien is a bright light in a dark world, he’s a lovely human
He's my teacher, and he is the most gentle, genuine, guy.
Why did you have mixed feelings? He was an innocent man stuck on death row for 18 yrs.
@@jeff7764it sounds like someone only watched the documentaries. This guy is a psychopathic murderer.
Chicago the city with more "gun-control" and yet the city with more crime ...... that make sense ! I guess more gun control for NOT to defend your self , and the criminals know it!!! good luck with that. DAMIEN , CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR FREEDOM, IT REALLY was unfair your experience, I am glad you are with a kind soul and people who help you , god bless them and you too.
Here's how I'd explain it.
I'm from near Chicago.
Chicago locks their town down. People caught with illegal weapons are punished severely.
People don't get their illegal weapons IN Chicago.
Because in Indiana, they have lax gun laws. Just 30 minutes away is Gary, Indiana.
I have friends who folks would ID as THUGS who won't get gas at night in Gary. Gary is a weapons depot for the tri-state.
That's how you get guns in Chicago. No across the board laws for the free sale of firearms to anonymous parties.
This is such a fantastic interview, I deeply enjoyed all of it.
Me too! So good!

It was buddhism that helped bands like the Beatles be entrancing. Damien is saying that he would describe what he did was "like reiki" because utilizing energy doesn't make people jump to human sacrifice like saying "magic" does. Since when does magic automatically make people think of human sacrifice?
Unfortunately, ignorance and religious propaganda is to blame. Yes, the Druids of old did practice human/animal sacrifice, but you can find teachings in the Old Testament that instructed the Israelites to sacrifice animals. Abraham was going to offer his own son as a sacrifice, but chose to sacrifice an animal instead. Jews don't practice animal sacrifice, as their religion and culture has changed considerably since that period. Christians believe that Christ willingly offered himself as a sacrifice to pay the price of our sins. Sacrifice doesn't have to involve blood and death. Christians still practice sacrifice in the form of Lent, and many religions fast from food and alcohol for short periods as a sacrifice. Even in our materialistic world we hear of the sacrifices people make for their companies and the like.
Since they did it and are guilty.
Literally every so called Christian on here casting judgement... Lol
Since the beginning of Christianity!

Amazing, can I share it on our UA-cam Channel?

why would it be a pizzagate reference?
no it's a reference to ur mom
l love this 🖤!!
Why a black heart???
Many on social media need to learn the definition of defamation
Damian Echols, you are an inspiration to all!!!
sneakypete I’m thankful their are people with brains like you ! 👌🏻
You bunch of idiots are just as sick as you think Echols is! You want his blood even though his guilt is not beyond reasonable doubt. If you have no doubts about his guilt in your twisted minds then I pray to God you never serve on a jury. Sure I have doubts and think he could be guilty, but we dont kill based on best guesses you fucking freaks.
Sneaky, enjoy your life
Sneaky, I hope that you understand that someone could be glad WM3 were freed and still share the same principles right? You are a bit all over the place mate. I have no want to engage in your paranoia, I am not ignorant to the troubles we face, but I dont allow my emotions and worldview to be informed by conjecture and conspiracy theory.
Sneaky, which set of parents shoes you want me to put myself in, the ones who think WM 3 are guilty or the ones that dont? Even victims parents are capable of greater objective reasoning than yourself, you twisted, paranoid, self righteous fuck.
The important thing to remember from today is always quote the word 'solid' (i guess an important aspect of reality when you get locked into a cell):
Notice he doesn't talk about the victims
Notice all the creepy occult tattoos
Notice zombie on cross....oh wait that's Jesus
So impressing. Love it
Excellent.. Thank you
Lemme know how that gun legislation works. Because so far it really hasn't done anything but take guns from non violent individuals that wish to protect themselves against the bad guys that get guns no matter the laws.
Or at least in the US.
1 hour plus of good information and you’re focused on the 2 second shoutout to gun reformation. You need help
@@teetheluchador I watched the whole thing I'm a fan Damien. But I'll voice my discrepancies when I have them thank you.
@@teetheluchador out of 900+ comments you take your time out to respond to one comment you disagree with..hmm 🤔 by your logic YOU need help
This i a wicked world. I couldn't watch the video, it made me feel very sick. I feel very sorry for the victims and their parents.
Use to love EV....I’m no longer that sleepy.
haha same huge fan.. but is he just being duped or does he have full knowledge?
@masked wolf does he genuinely believe that echols is innocent or does he know..
Tickle you are a silly sod if you believe EV would support Echols if he thought he was guilty, FFS.
@@dewiwilliams4821 not a silly sod just facing a sad reality.. Like honestly I think EV is just deceived but johnny depp? I think he knows.... absolutely..
There is no "knowing", thus you have proved yourself a silly sod. Honestly its sad either way, if WM3 are guilty then 3 murderers were set free, if innocent then 3 innocent men had 20 years of their life taken away, and of course in both scenarios those 3 poor little boys were murdered. No getting away from it, either way it is a sad reality, but the bottom line is nobody except the killer(s) knows the truth for sure. I personally find it terrifying how many sick people I am seeing who dare to call WM3 sick one sentence and then call for the blood of the WM3 the next, if they were guilty beyond reasonable doubt I could understand, but there is far too much doubt for that. That being said Echols could be guilty and have duped them all, I think it is very doubtful but possible. Btw, how can you make a claim like that about depp with zero evidence and conclude it is absolute? When is the last time you questioned your own sanity?
How come he does not use "his magic" to find the killers?
Dumb question.
@@ZEMBLAfilms why do u exist
Yikes, can't avoid politics at all. I like Eddie, but those gun "safety" laws that Chicago did not help the number of shootings in recent weeks.
Indiana has some of the most lax gun laws in the country. Anyone in Chicago who wants one can just cross state lines. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot have worked hard to stop gun violence.
Exactly, Chicago is terrible with gun violence and he just pointed out they have some of the stickiest gun laws 😂😂😂 why the hell is that a step in the right direction, it’s obviously the problem
Max B not sure if you are trolling. Mayor Lightfoot has been a disaster.
Rodney Sustaita well crime is down 9% so she must be doing something right. Maybe you can do better.
Devils Adversary so let’s get rid of any gun laws and all problems will be solved. Maybe we can give guns to every k-6 student. I’m sure Fox News would approve. Would that be the answer?
Interesting how Damien mentions that he made Eddie Vedder listen to the hair metal band White Lion and they have this song...

Subtle hint?
Do you know what the definition of defamation is?
Funny how sadly many people have faced being locked up for a long time but they have seemed to be able to sit indoors without sunglasses.
But not locked up on Death Row. Prisoners on Death Row are treated much different. It's as maximum as maximum security gets.
@@junesmith4159 I got into a big long debate with a guy who claimed to work in a prison and that he was lying about forgetting how to eat with a fork. We know that he spent 18 years on Death Row, but for some reason people think that because THEY think he's a devil worshiping sociopath, every word he says is a lie for sympathy- and even if he was, human beings are creatures of habit, they don't give maximum security prisoners eating utensils (for reasons that should be obvious to even the dumbest morons) and Death Row is as maximum as maximum security gets........ so why it would be hard to believe that someone who spent 18 years eating w/o utensils, and without having access to direct sunlight would adapt to that situation just baffles me.
You want to debate the evidence that's fine, but so far all I have seen from them are vitriol and deflections.
I have hereditary vision problems and have to wear dark glasses to cut glare which is blinding and causes migraines. It is absolutely necessary for some.
@@Iceis_Phoenix Who'd he kill?

If you like this video get his book 'High Magick'. He does an amazing job de-mystifying the practice
It's free on Amazon right now
Español por favor😭
Trust me, he's guilty. If you study the FACTS, he is.
No
Damien, How did you know which angels to work with knowing which ones were for what for within the times that you needed them the most and how did you discover them and knew that the angels would help you through? Hopefully, you'll get to see and answer these questions.

And you should know ❤️

Fantastic!
'Gun safety laws' When the criminals are armed and the citizens aren't.
Sigh. You realize this "issue" isn't even interesting anymore. It's so tiresome.
But you're sharing, so I will too.
Everyone's so charged up, so riled up about being "right" even if it causes everyone to be dead.
You know what? Go buy up your guns, join your NRA (what's left of it) and form your militias. You're going to anyway. Even if you have all the evidence to prove you wrong, even if it costs you your life, it's what you want.
Maybe you're well practiced and trained. The truth is the vast majority of people, with or without training, are not competent to use one for self defense. Guns really aren't useful for all that much. There are far deadlier things for both criminal and honest citizen to use.
Meanwhile, more people go insane with frustration. More shootings. More lives pointlessly lost.
Gun or no, it could be you one day. And you have to be oh so fast and oh so alert for a gun to be any help anyway. A lot of it is in timing and circumstance. Do you really think that being armed increases your chances of survival that much more? What if, Goodness forbid, whatever attack you're trying to contend with is explosive, chemical, or pathogenic in nature? Because those kinds of attacks are the far bigger threat and carrying a weapon won't help with that.
And even considering that, are you sure you're quick and accurate enough to win a shootout with a sniper? So few are. Vanishingly few. Maybe you are. Are you at your best at every moment? Because you would have to be for it to matter.
This whole thing is just pointless. Your passion for this issue is a waste of neurons and energy. Multiply you by the population of the United States. This whole insane country, preferring to die rather than read and learn from history, look at current statistics and let the data determine truth, or even think.
I mourn your stillborn intellect, conscience, and common sense. But that all has been dead for a long time, clearly. So whatever you do with your empty shell is of no consequence.
I'm not saying banning anything is a complete solution. It might not even matter. Truth be told, I don't even want to talk about that part. Your programmed response to something said about a crisis is the far more disturbing thing here. There is so much more wrong with the world than just a few policies or laws. And you illustrate it. You're a machine, responding as you are programmed. You have no soul.
You aren't helping anything or making yourself look principled or intelligent. You act like you are indoctrinated because you are. And there is nothing more to you at all.
So you wasted my and everyone else's time and your own by your comment. Now I did too by actually commenting honestly on it. So hooray for free speech. After all of this, you are still hollow, still molded by minds more focused than your own, and still irrelevant.
And you always will be.

the knife was a key piece of evidence that people overlook, which i think is the key to the case(besides damien being proven to be psychotic by a psychiatric profile). the one boy literally had a wound that fit the compass image on the bottom of the knife to the injury on his forehead perfectly

I wonder how often he tried to magick himself out of prison. Maybe it worked eventually!
Ha ha. It took 18 years though, lol.
He isn’t that good but he got good enough to do it. I told him I knew his trick and he blocked me lol I do know his tricks. I have done transcendental meditation for years. I know how he did it. But took him long as hell and it ate him up.
