Saul Alinsky, "Saul", the form of "Paul" before accepting Christ. The relevant Alinsky quote:

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.

Lucifer from the fictional work of Milton, not part of the Bible, (except for the KJV Latin translation of one word in Isaiah 14:12 to differentiate it from the end of Revelations) which nonetheless became part of the Christian corpus of belief. (fictional works often became part of Christian dogma back then, you can see reflections of it now in rejection of Harry Potter and Star Wars by Christian groups) My source for that was the first when I searched for Alinsky Lucifer, here:
http://theisticsatanism.com/politics/Alinsky.html
"Saul D. Alinsky - A role model for left-wing Satanists" is the page title. Its rank on Google suggests the popularity of the concept of "left wing satanism", a political construct designed to consolidate evangelic belief behind right wing controllers instead of their old non-political priests.

It's unscientific. The Tao of scientific Truth is that it doesn't go away when you stop believing in it, the Tao of unscientific "truth" is that it takes constant reinforcement through suppression of contrary ideas to prop it up. (Propaganda) Speaking frankly, the Jewish people can be proud of their disproportionately large contributions to the area of scientific truth, but there will always be a shadow to this fact: the disproportionate suppression of the Jewish people in order to prop up these unscientific, propagandist "truths". Alinsky may be yet another victim.
