Crowley in his own words: race, Mexico, the US years

SUMMARYCrowley in his own words: race, Mexico, the US years (agent report, Nov 6, 2026; follows P813). Full report with short quotes and URLs: agent-reports/crowley-race-americas.md (main source: the full-text Confessions on aleistercrowleytimeline.com; page numbers via Starr). MEDINA, Record as Crowley's own claim: Confessions names "Don Jesus Medina, a descendant of the great duke of Armada fame," "one of the highest chiefs of Scottish Rite Free-Masonry," who gave him "the thirty-third and last degree"; Crowley made Medina first High Priest of his L.I.L. order. Starr ties the body to a council claiming it was "founded by the Duke of Medina and Sidonia" (New York Sunday Mercury, 1883) and couldn't trace its archives. The degree itself is Disputed (no record beyond Crowley); who Medina was, and any spy errand, are Open. THE LAND'S PEOPLE ERASED, Record: in Mexico, Indigenous people appear only as an unnamed "young Indian girl" who cared for him, with nothing on the Maya, the Aztec or the conquest; in the US chapters, "native American" means Anglo-Saxon Americans, the Native nations aren't mentioned, and Esopus Island (named for the Esopus Lenape) is just where he camped. RACE, Record: a slur about Congo victims in his pro-German propaganda; a joke demeaning mixed-race people; "Americans, in the mass, are the lowest savages on earth"; his painting Dead Souls with "a kneeling Negress, bestially gross." On the South in 1919: "The hatred of the Yankee and his fear of the Negro are as great as ever"; he called the Klan's spread "one of the most sinister symptoms of recent years." HAITI AND VODOU: none found in his writing; the link runs through Seabrook (P813). Pattern: the "sole and supreme authority" of an order that grew in the Americas wrote the land's own people out of his account and slurred Black people
