Iowa city council meeting erupts after former member opens meeting with satanic prayer and 'Hail Satan'
A city council in Iowa erupted after a resident opened a meeting with a satanic prayer Tuesday.
Before the meeting of the Ottumwa City Council began, former council member Matt Dalbey opened with an invocation to the "dark father" to "embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge" before ending with a "Hail Satan" declaration.
After the council recited the Pledge of Allegiance and took roll, New Life Center Pastor Rick Bick interrupted the meeting to demand pushback against Dalbey's invocation.
"Let's just reverse this curse that was put on our city. That ending with 'Hail Satan' or 'Hail dark god,' that's not welcome here," Bick insisted.
Though City Council member Cara Galloway told Bick to save his comments for public discussion, Bick demanded immediate action.
"It needs to be done now," Bick said. "I appreciate what Ms. Galloway is saying, but that was a curse put on the city. When he said 'Hail Satan' ... most of you know that, and we need to just stop and reverse it."
In response, Ottumwa Mayor Benjamin Foote requested 30 seconds of silence to allow for prayer or reflection and overruled Galloway's efforts to move forward with the meeting.
Reacting to the controversy, Foote told Fox News Digital, "This is not a reflection of our community. As the mayor of my hometown in Iowa, I know the people of Ottumwa, and the invocation read at the start of Tuesday’s meeting does not represent the faith or the values of families who call this city home."
After the meeting concluded, Galloway gave additional comments on the matter, repeating past concerns she had about establishing invocations at city council meetings that could lead to more conflicts.
"Opening with an invocation means allowing viewpoints that may not reflect our own, and responding to someone's invocation is a slippery slope to putting a financial liability on the taxpayers and allowing for others to object or respond," Galloway said.
"And this is exactly why I had concerns about having an invocation when we first talked about it. And I think I even specifically referenced that having someone from the Church of Satan or a prayer about Satan when we talked about that, that this could happen, and we would need to allow it.
"I just want to remind us thatm again, sometimes things are said that we may not agree with ... and while you're allowed to do the moment of silence and that kind of thing too, I think we've opened ourselves up for others to object or respond to others' invocations," she continued.
"And we need to remember that we are up here to be neutral and allow viewpoints because we've opened up invocations."
According to a report by The Ottumwa Courier, the city adopted an invocation policy in January. The policy says it does not endorse any faith or religious denomination but is intended "to acknowledge and express the City Council's respect for the diversity of both organized and unorganized religious denominations, as well as other faiths, belief systems, or the lack thereof, represented and practiced among the citizens of the City of Ottumwa."
In a private message, according to the Ottumwa Courier, Dalbey, who is a member of The Satanic Temple of Iowa, said that the prayer is commonly used by the temple "but has nothing to do with the belief in a satanic deity."
In a comment to Fox News Digital, council member Bill Hoffman described leaving the room once the prayer was invoked and returning for the Pledge of Allegiance, though he defended Dalbey's right to say what he believes.
"I'm a Christian man with Christian values. That doesn't mean I don't want to observe his First Amendment right. It just means that I want to use my rights not to observe that," he said.

Russia-Iran Continue To Strengthen 'Bilateral Cooperation'
The Trump administration has been busy boasting that it has brought Iran's economy to its knees through the navy enforced oil blockade and through sweeping 'Economic D-Day' sanctions, but in direct contradiction to this, Russia is busy hailing Tehran's 'courage'.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call Wednesday, on the occasion of Putin's birthday, wherein the two leaders pledged to strengthen bilateral cooperation, per readouts from both sides.
Putin pointed to their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty as staying steadfast, despite "current developments and events in the region" - a reference to the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States.
Russia supports these diplomatic efforts, Putin continued, and "Iranian friends can be assured" that Moscow is ready to help, he informed Pezeshkian. And crucially there was this line which is a direct provocation to Washington:
Putin also praised what he called Iran’s "courage" in the face of attacks.
Also, according to Iranian state media, "Putin pointed to the Iranian nation's historic and epic steadfastness in the face of enemy aggression, stating that Iran's courage has been put at the focal attention of many countries across the world."
It must be remembered that US anonymous officials and media have accused Moscow of providing Tehran with targeting supportduring the height of Epic Fury. China too stands accused of this.
Such Kremlin messaging on Iranian courage is in direct opposition to what's being put out by the White House. For example, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been gloating this week that Iranian crude exports have been taken to near "zero" by the US Navy's ongoing blockade.
On Tuesday, he again mocked the Iranians, questioning what is their oil minister "managing"?
Iran has a new oil minister. Considering Iran has not loaded a single barrel of crude onto a vessel since August 25th, what is the oil minister managing?

TankerTrackers data has lately indicated that Iranian oil terminals were inactive for crude loadings throughout September, which has resulted in Iran's military ramping up drone attacks on foreign vessels engaged in 'unauthorized' passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
This month alone has already seen at least ten attacks on ships, but which has had surprisingly little impact on oil prices. The mainstream media has also been relatively quiet on these latest attacks.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also been trying to spike the football, even as Iranian attacks on international shipping in the region continue, and after US bases have by and large been forced to be abandoned in Gulf states.
JUST IN: Secretary of State Rubio states that Iran has Lost Complete Control of the Strait of Hormuz Oil is passing through (around 10 Million Barrels Per Day) the Strait of Hormuz - The IRGC has struck more than 10 ships over the past week but this hasn't deterred the oil tankers - Sources in Iran indicate that the current situation could continue until the US's Midterm Elections (beginning in November)

Tehran is still saying it would be open to a peace deal, but that it ultimately doesn't trust Trump, and that if the situation of the blockade on its oil persists, it may have to launch 'preemptive attack' on American assets in the region.
"If necessary, we will carry out preemptive operations in the future to deter the enemy from any aggression or attack," an Iranian military spokesman said Wednesday.
Report: Viral Posts Urge Northeast China To Stockpile Food Amid Russian Plague Scare; Trump Doubts Bioweapon Link
Trump's comments come after the US State Department reiterated its "Do Not Travel " warning for Russia as plague fears mount.
Russia has tried to quell fears of a spreading plague after the lab worker's death last Friday.
