Back in 1999, European pharmaceuticals and medical conglomerate the Cheiron Group (TCG) engaged in a highly
publicized series of lawsuits directed against a number of individuals and groups — mostly religious in nature, mostly Ameri-
can — who had propagated in the media the story that the company was controlled by Satanic forces. The story had come
out of TCG’s logo, the head of a horned, bearded man wearing a laurel wreath and superimposed over a caduceus. Various
fundamentalists in the US misinterpreted the logo’s classical pagan imagery as being somehow occult, and further misinter-
preted “occult” as straight Devil worship. They gladly propagated the Satanic connection, at times even encouraging people
to boycott the conglomerate.
Cheiron cleaned up, and one US televangelist and several
small businesses ended up going bankrupt. TCG looked bit like
the bad guy in some of those situations, but the company’s
spokespersons maintained it was necessary. Cheiron and its
owned partners formed one of the foremost medical cor-
porations in the world. Cheiron itself has been dedicated
to affordable and effective medication for everything from
asthma to HIV since 1904. Weide GmbH is one of
the foremost producers of medical technology —
scanning equipment, radiotherapy resources
and dialysis machines, for example. Bar-
thes Incorporated produces neurology
equipment and puts millions each year
into research into medical prosthesis.
Jones-Klein-Beauchamp manufactures
painkillers, and owns a number of well-
known brands of sweets and soft drinks.
The spokespersons pointed to TCG’s un-
matched record in the field of research,

and the high effectiveness of treatments
discovered by TCG’s researchers. Cheir-
on was a fundamentally benevolent busi-
ness, they said, and as such needed to pro-
tect its reputation.
The ironic thing was, the fundamen-
talists were about half right. There really is
something very fi shy going on with the
Cheiron Group.
The central company, Cheir-
on Ltd, has been around for about
100 years. Company literature
describes the company logo
as having been designed by
Cheiron’s founder, Edward
Barrett, in 1905. But if that’s
so, how come the logo ap-
pears on a sculpted medallion
th
above the door of an 18 -
century Masonic hall in Lon-
don? Why does that same
logo appear in a suppressed
book on forbidden religions
printed in Geneva in 1632?
What is the logo doing en-
graved on the ornate hel-
th
met of a 15 -century suit of
Bavarian plate armor? And,
for that matter, why is it re-
peated perfectly as the motif
on the pediment of a sunken
