"You are the fingers and toes of Abaddon! You are its teeth and its hair and its skin! Weep for America! Weep for Babylon!"

Revelation 9:11: "They have as king over them, the angel of the Abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon." (New American Standard.)
If we take Abaddon as the beast of Revelation, note Revelation 13:1: "Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names."
And Revelation 17:9-10: "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time."
As always, one can interpret Revelation to fit just about anything. In this case, it's the
SevenCities.
Cornelius Agrippa equated Abaddon with Apollyon, and positioned him as the monarch in the lower shadow of the sphere of the planet Venus, which is the Sephirah of Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree:
"The seventh mansion the Furies possess, which are powers of evil, discords, war and devastations, whose prince in the Revelations is called in Greek Apollyon, in Hebrew Abaddon, that is destroying and wasting." (Occult Philosophy, Book 3, Chapter 18).
Abaddon claimed to be
TheNephilim of the Slaughterhouse and the Stockyards, the Locust King, the Lord of Five Wounds, the God of Reeking Meat. In other words, the Beef Trust (in keeping with our Chicago cow / bull motif and also the White Castle burger chain).
We summoned Abaddon using the head of

orichalka engine block, Abaddon was vanquished.
