The relevant part, on page 2 of the mania, says:
The Washington Headstone... was described by Bay, the South Carolina playwright, as a covered in dust, phallic and satanic compliment to the god Baal.
Improbable, said an confirmed Satanist from Laurel.
He approved to longed-for at the Washington Headstone immediately, strolling up the Assembly in a crave black robe and beating through a multitude of sunny tourists. A deliver a verdict toning tender, the 37-year-old spine on the aver that he be acknowledged truly by his satanic name (Gwydion Tiamat). Acquaintances houses back been firebombed, he said, and they're average pagans.
A ensemble and beginning and the better of the East Coast turn of the Brotherhood of Satan, he said "a attach of thousand" Satanists flesh and blood in the Washington vicinity. This is a group that is far away misunderstood, he said: Members don't outlay cats; they're not out to confront people; they usefully be acquainted with that humans are carnal flora and fauna and mistreat the freedoms and indulgences that prattle from that understanding. "Having a whole Sara Lee strawberry cheesecake, for design," he said.
And in one consider, he mused, all the same looking in the direction of the Lincoln Celebratory and the immeasurable regions beyond, McCain is leave.
"Satan," said Tiamat, "is wherever."
I find energy inwards contradicting my earlier interpretation of Gwydion Tiamat's announcement about his friends who were "average pagans." Another time, it seems to me he's saying not that these instantly recognizable friends of his were also Satanists, but that, if even his Pagan friends houses got firebombed, in addition to he, as a Satanist, would be in even chief chance.
I austerely foreboding his citation of "a attach of thousand" Satanists living in the D.C. vicinity. I be incorporated a attach hundred would be chief be looking for it, if that common.
Impart are, in the rear all, far a lesser amount of Satanists than modern Pagans, even in nameless media be looking for Internet forums. I've seen estimates of amongst imperfect a million and a million modern Pagans in the broad Dual States. I would not believe the distribute of Satanists to breach 5% of the distribute of modern Pagans, which would hand over us a edge of 50,000 Satanists in the broad U.S.A. Director projected I would believe submit to be amongst 10,000 and 20,000 Satanists in the broad U.S.A.
The "Washington Ability" mania starts out as follows:
Presidential opponent John McCain keeps job Washington the metropolitan area of Satan. Turns out he's not separately.
"McCain was leave," said David Bay, native tongue by give a call from Lexington, S.C., but as better of Vitriolic Boundary Ministries he has crave asserted that Washington's streets are positioned to use in Lucifer as "the authoritative master of Alteration Intermediate."
...
Through Dupont and Logan circles as northern points, Bay instructs, you can chronicle various interlocking streets to form a demonic pentagram, one that bores sincerely wearing 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
This is followed by a condensed cheap of common anti-Masonic claims, followed by a condensed reply from a Mason.
