John Smith
(a pseudonym) thoroughly documented
in his 2001 article Hypocrisy,
Plagiarism and LaVey, how
Anton LaVey, the Jewish founder
of the Church of Satan, when
"writing" his The
Satanic Bible, had "without
so much as a footnote or
bibliographic reference" plagiarised significant
portions from the 1896 book The
Might Is Right. LaVey also pilfered the
inverted pentagram/goat head symbol from
early occultists, and then tried
to copy-write it!
Mainly due to LaVey's
plagiarism, the inverted
pentagram symbol, with or
without the goat's head, is now
mostly commonly associated with
satanism (of one form or
another). But the inverted
pentagram is also an ancient
Jewish symbol, and is found in
the ruins of an 4th/5th century
A.D. synagogue in
Capernaum, Israel.

Jews plagiarized all their symbolism from the egyptians and such.
