When Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died 11 days ago at a West Texas ranch, he was among high-ranking members of an exclusive fraternity for hunters called the International Order of St. Hubertus, an Austrian society that dates back to the 1600s.

After Scalia’s death Feb. 13, the names of the 35 other guests at the remote resort, along with details about Scalia’s connection to the hunters, have remained largely unknown. A review of public records shows that some of the men who were with Scalia at the ranch are connected through the International Order of St. Hubertus, whose members gathered at least once before at the same ranch for a celebratory weekend.

Members of the worldwide, male-only society wear dark-green robes emblazoned with a large cross and the motto “Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes,” which means “Honoring God by honoring His creatures,” according to the group’s website. Some hold titles, such as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The Order’s name is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.

Their motto indicates no harmful motives - “Honoring God by honoring His creatures,” At worst they are animal rights fanatics. Let the boys have their fun.

"Let's honor the animals"...click click boom, click clock hood.
"Now we commence with the secret blood sacrifice to bephomet.

Devout Catholics often have such a medieval mindset to overcome.

Old Latin proverb -- Fabulis Sunt Inania.

Quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania

Animal rights activist hunters? I think it's more likely a society of rich, beer and brandy drinking men who like to kick back, play cards and do a little outdoor target practice.....cloaked in the mysterious veil of elite secret society. Ha!

I'm okay with that

International Order of St. Hubertus is not a "secret society". They even have their own website.

So does the CIA.

Yeah. Most guys would be ok with that.

A hunting club that thinks its honoring god, by honoring his creatures, by sport hunting and killing?
That's exactly what is so off about the elites. They kill for sport, hoard all the money, turn the lives of ordinary citizens into a hamster wheel and they are so arrogant, they even have the nerve to ascribe honor to it. There is no honor in it. Black is white, left is right to these freaks.

Haven't really looked into the Scalia conspiracy though & I love conspiracies. He was a 79 year-old extremely fat man. No shock there.

here is their website:

and here is what their home page says:
Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes
Honoring God by Honoring His Creatures
The International Order of St. Hubertus is a worldwide organization of hunters who are also wildlife conservationists and are respectful of traditional hunting ethics and practices. Founded in 1695, the motto of the Order is “Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes” or “Honoring God by Honoring His Creatures.”

Purpose of the Order

To promote sportsmanlike conduct in hunting and fishing

To foster good fellowship among sportsmen from all over the world

To teach and preserve sound traditional hunting and fishing customs

To encourage wildlife conservation and to help protect endangered species from extinction

To promote the concept of hunting and fishing as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity

To endeavor to ensure that the economic benefits derived from sports hunting and fishing support the regions where these activities are carried out

To strive to enhance respect for responsible hunters and fishermen


The International Order of St. Hubertus is a true knightly order in the historical tradition. The Order is under the Royal Protection of His Majesty Juan Carlos of Spain, the Grand Master Emeritus His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Andreas Salvator of Austria and our Grand Master is His Imperial and Royal Highness Istvan von Habsburg Lothringen, Archduke of Austria, Prince of Hungary.


So why would they want to harm Scalia?

because he was a good guy.
