Sonny Stermole, the creator of the
"Ministry of Bible Defense" website shot his next
door neighbor in cold blood on June 13, 2007.
News reports indicated Mark A. Wright had gone outside to light his barbeque grill
for a family meal when he was shot six times in the chest by
Mr. Stermole who was subsequently charged with
1st-Degree Intentional Homicide and found Guilty but Not Guilty Due to Mental
Disease/Defect. Mr. Stermole, over the course of the trial, fired a couple of
attorneys and asserted he was not mentally defective. He was ordered placed in a
psychiatric facility and now (as of June, 2009) is attempting to be released.
Mr. Wright's widow has begun a lawsuit against him as well.
Several years ago, Mr. Stermole’s online blathering caught our
attention and as a result we created this page
which noted his bizarre claims,
not
limited to only Masonic world domination but also including
his fantasies about the CIA, Kaddafi, the mafia and more.
While links to his material are long since broken,
you can see what was written earlier by this man who, according to court
records of his case, was alternately using a public defender and defending himself, apparently claiming that the court
has no jurisdiction over him. Sadly, Mr. Stermole is
not alone in allowing his paranoia and Masonophobia to result in violence which ends the lives of
others. What is particularly ironic is that he - like others who've claimed that
the Masons are the ones destroying religion, acts in a way which is so opposite
the teachings of ANY faith.
Stermole, 56, lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Many thanks to Bro. David Baylor
for his initial ‘heads-up’ on this
story.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Wright family.
As of December 13, 2007, the court
found that the defendant was not competent to
proceed, but more likely than not to regain competency if treated.
They suspended proceedings and committed Mr. Stermole to a state institution for
treatment including psychotropic medication. In February, 2008, he was
adjudicated competent to stand trial and eligible for $500,000 cash bail which,
fortunately, was never attained. The trial occurred during the June, 2008 and at
its conclusion, the jury returned the following:
Question 1: At the time the crime was committed,
did the defendant have a mental disease or defect? YES
Question 2: As a result of the mental disease or defect, did the
defendant lack substantial capacity either to appreciate the
wrongfulness of the conduct or to conform that conduct to the
requirements of law? YES
Court polled the jury to which each answered that this was their
verdict. Court excused panel from further service.
Court enters judgment of conviction and finds the defendant not
guilty by reason of mental disease or defect pursuant to
971.165(3)(b).
At a sentencing hearing on June 23, 2008, "The
court finds by clear and convicing <sic> evidence that the defendant
poses a significant risk to himself or others and commits the defendant
for LIFE to the Department of Health and Family Services. The defendant
is not capable of refusing psycho-tropic medications."

"The research work
AMERICA'S SUBVERSION
The Enemy Within
is presented "as is" and is not completed. It represents an historical
and current analysis of related New Age subject matter, as well as a critical analysis of
the claims of Masonic scholars and New Age leaders.
The presentation is without warranties but represents a sincere effort to distinguish fact
from fiction.
The Ministry of Biblical Defense presents this analysis on a not-for-profit basis."
It's just too bad that Sonny Rene Stermole didn't bother to deal with some very
simple research before he spent all this time quoting stuff that has been proven as A
HOAX!
Swing by his web site
but be careful! They like BIG letters
and LOTS OF UNDERLINING!!!
He's also
gotten their hands on a text-art program and have decided that somehow that'll make their
site more readable. Just pick any of the pages that talk about Freemasonry, though,
and you'll find LOTS of quotes ostensibly from
Albert Pike. The only problem, though, is that they're ALL FROM THE TAXIL HOAX!!! (We'll cut out copying
his format, now. We just couldn't help it! <giggle>)
The Leo Taxil hoax is documented in brief here on
our site as well as in great detail here
and here by recognized
Masonic scholars. You'll notice that the Ministry of Biblical Defense has many quotes from
William Schnoebelen, Jim Shaw, and the (in)famous "Lady
Queenborough (Edith Starr Miller), 1933". Defense with lies - an interesting
concept! - but of course, it is "without warranties" you'll remember!
From his web site on June 7, 1998, we find these several
examples where "Bible Defense" has simply copied the works of others
who've quoted the Taxil hoax. Sloppy scholarship or a hatred which Jesus would
have never condoned: you decide!
Retired Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy {William Guy Carr}
...
"While Pike was Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, and Head of the
Illuminati during the 1870's he revised and modernized the ritual of the Black Mass
celebrated to emphasise the Luciferian and Satanic victory achieved in the Garden of Eden,
and over Christ to end his mission on earth. The celebrant of the Black Mass plays the
part of Satan. He introduces a Virgin Priestess to the joys of sexual intercourse and
makes known to her the mystery of procreation. ... The desecration
p. 121
of a Host consecrated by a Roman Catholic Priest is part of this abomination. Lucifer is
worshipped as "The giver of the True light"; the fountain of All wisdom; and as
the greatest of all Supernatural Beings. Satan is worshipped as Lucifer's Prime Minister
... a Black Mass is usually followed by a Bacchanalian orgy. Those who attend are supplied
with sex-stimulating drugs and beverages. They worship the body and indulge in sexual
excesses, and perversions, of all kinds. Priestesses are provided for the occasion.

Note the "Supreme Pontiff" part? Here's a quote of a quote
of a quote of a lie! Well, you see the point....
We tend to think that anti-Masons make some very odd charges when they
try to connect 'Masonic evil' with their personal lives. Sonny René Stermole, however,
has one of the most vivid we've seen. Rather than recount his contacts with the CIA, the
Mafia, and more, jump on over to his
web site
(link long gone and not retrievable through Internet Archive). You'll find it quite interesting!
Here's just a little 'teaser':
"To provide a little more perspective, it was in the fall of 1986 that a
Mafia figure and a "biker" figure observed me in an another
"establishment" and discussed what to do about me. What could they fear from a
guy who was only drinking soda ?" The Mafia figure who was apparently from Chicago
stated he knew of persons who could take care of me. Only a few days later, even
immediately after expressing my concerns to an "off-duty" Milwaukee police
officer who has otherwise been seen on television knocking down a door in a drug bust in
the inner city, I was confronted at gunpoint by the most notorious gang in Chicago, whose
founder was from Milwaukee. It was the same gang which is known in Chicago for performing
murder for the Mafia, and which has been pursued by the FBI for conspiring to blow up
federal buildings with the aid of Muhamar Kaddaffi. They made threats and instructed me to
sell my parent's home. I was told the arrangements would be handled by a man who would
pursuantly show up across the street from the front of the house in an automobile, and
exactly as they described, a mature white man in a Caddilac showed up. It must have been a
nice casual wait for him, because I only observed. So, in the spring of '87 a Mafia
"family" man nearly breaks my neck. His comments to me, intriguingly, reflected
similar sentiments as those expressed by the two assailants from the Mafia-connected gang.
Religious and political denunciation of my beliefs. They were strikingly similar
encounters in that respect.
What do you think?
