The Zionist New World Order by Clint
Robinson (June 16, 2009)The time is urgent White Patriots! There
is no other choice, the time is now, we eitherbreak free or we
submit to what the Zionist New World Order has in store for
us.However, submission to tyranny is not an option that any true
patriot can accept. Thetime to resist is NOW!! Tomorrow may be too
late.Let us get one thing straight. Zionism is more than just a
plan to establish "a homelandfor the Jews". It goes far beyond
that. It is a plan for world domination and the conquestof all the
worlds resources, including oil. If we would transform our ideal
picture of the [Aryan] People’s State into a reality we shall have
to keep independent of the forces that now control public life and
seek for new forces that will be ready and capable of taking up
the fight for such an ideal. For a fight it will have to be, since
the first objective will not be to build up the idea of the
People’s State but rather to wipe out the Jewish [controlled]
State which is now in existence. -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol.
2, Ch. 5 (Murphey translation) [For] winning back the independence
of a nation [...] it will suffice if a small remnant, no matter
how small, of this nation and State will exist, provided it
possesses the necessary independence to become not only the
vehicle of the common spirit of the whole [Aryan] people but also
to prepare the way for the military fight to reconquer the nations
liberty. --Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol.2 Ch.13 (Murphey

Wikipedia ...Jonathan Eybeschutz At the age of eighteen, Rav Eybeschütz was appointed rabbi of Mladá Boleslav, where he stayed for three years, afterward settling in Prague in 1700 and becoming head of the yeshivah and a famous preacher. The people of Prague held Rav Eybeschütz in high esteem and he was considered second there only to Dayan David Oppenheim. In Prague, Rav Eybeschütz received permission to print the Talmud—but with the omission of all passages contradicting the principles of Christianity in consultation with Dayan David Oppenheim. Legends and rumors seeking to discredit the event said that he did this without the consultation of the Rabbis of Prague, and they revoked the printing license. Already in Prague 1724, he was suspected of being a Sabbatean. He even got up on Yom Kippur to denounce the Sabbatean movement, but he remained suspected.[2] Therefore, In 1736, Rav Eybeschutz was only appointed dayan of Prague and not chief rabbi. He became rabbi of Metz in 1741. In 1750, he was elected rabbi of the "Three Communities:" Altona, Hamburg, and Wandsbek. He was "an acknowledged genius" in at least three separate areas of Jewish religious creativity: Talmud and Jewish law (halakhah); homiletics (derush) and popular preaching; and Kabbalah. "He was a man of erudition, but he owed his fame chiefly to his personality. Few men of the period so profoundly impressed their mark on Jewish life."[3] His granddaughter was the Breslau poet and intellectual Lucie Domeier [de], born Esther Gad. Sabbatian controversy In 1752, the controversy between Rav Emden and Rav Eybeschütz raged. In December of that year, the Hamburg government banned any more discussion of the amulets, the Senate of Hamburg suspended Rav Eybeschütz, and many members of that congregation demanded that he should submit his case to rabbinical authorities. At this point he was defended by Carl Anton, a convert to Christianity, but a former disciple of Rav Eybeschütz.[5] The controversy was a momentous incident in Jewish history of the period—involving both Rav Yechezkel Landau and the Vilna Gaon—and may be credited with having crushed the lingering belief in Sabbatai current even in some Orthodox circles.[3] In 1760, the quarrel broke out once more when some Shabbatean elements were discovered among the students of Rav Eybeschütz' yeshivah. At the same time his younger son, Wolf Jonas Eybeschutz, presented himself as a Shabbatean prophet, and was close to several Frankists, with the result that the yeshivah was closed.[6] According to Jacob Katz, Rav Jonathan Eybeschütz's grandson was rumored to be Baron Thomas von Schoenfeld, an apostate Jew who inherited his grandfather's collection of Sabbatean kabbalistic works. He eventually left the Sabbatean movement and founded a Masonic lodge called the Asiatische Bruder, one of four Illuminati lodges in Vienna. After his uncle's death on August 10, 1791, he was offered the leadership of the Frankist movement which he refused. Katz disputes this claim however, saying that Baron Thomas von Schoenfeld was a member of the Dobruschka family of Brьnn and was in no way related, either by blood or marriage, to Rav Eybeschutz. According to Gershom Scholem, the ideology of the Asiatic Brethren mixed Kabbalistic and Sabbatean ideas jumbled together with Christian theosophic doctrines.[7] Some of Rav Eybeschutz's descendants are the Yiddish novelist and Holocaust survivor Chava Rosenfarb (1923–2011),[citation needed] and Rav Shmuel Wosner (1913–2015), a prominent Haredi rabbi and posek ('decisor of Jewish law') who lived in Bnei Brak, Israel.[citation needed] Works Homiletics (derush) and popular preaching:[citation needed]: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://hermetic.com/hermeneuticon/order-of-the-asiatic-brethren Order of the Asiatic Brethren An Advanced group of Freemasonry specialty Lodges which integrated Qabalistic teachings as well as true Masonic Brotherhood without regard to Religion. While one of the basic tenants of Freemasonry is the Brotherhood of Man under the All-Seeing Eye of God, “Let a man’s religion or mode of worship be what it may, he is not excluded from the Order, provided he believe in the glorious Architect of heaven and earth, and practice the sacred duties of morality. Freemasons unite with the virtuous of every persuasion in the firm and pleasing bond of fraternal love.” In practice, social divisions of Race, Creed, Nation and Religion have all been barriers to be overcome, and in every age new barriers are identified and torn down that Masons may meet On The Level, as Equals. The Order of the Asiatic Brethren was specifically set up as German conservatism waned and the American Revolution set the stage for a new world order where all would be equal in opportunity, regardless of the accident of Birth. At the same time, Moses Mendelssohn was reforming the tribal attitudes of the Jews of Europe and a more “European” cultured Jew was appearing in the cities. This social upheaval was influenced by the French Revolution, it's Reign of Terror, Napoleon's invasion of Germany, the establishment of Masonic Lodges under the Grand Orient of France Grand Lodge. While the (all too brief) lesson of Religious Tolerance in Germany is of social significance, it's influence on Magickal thought in Europe immense. Under the organizational guidance of Hans Heinrich von Ecker und von Eckihoffem such Qabalistic scholars as Baron Thomas von Schoenfeld (born a Jew, Moses Dobruška later to become a Monk, Junius Frey), Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld and his technically better brother Pascal translated many Qabalistic texts by hand, and assisted von Eker with creating advanced Masonic Rites based on those teachings. These were shared with Esoteric Freemasons in France, Russia and England. Carried by Traveling Men such as Count Apponyi and Johann Friedrich Falk to Magicians in both England ( Frederick Hockley, Kenneth R H Mackenzie) and the Continent Éliphas Lévi and through him to Papus. When the American Magician Paschal Beverly Randolph brings it to the New World in the mid 1800's it has already been mixed with the Magic of Cornelius Agrippa and Francis Barrett into an Occult Philosophy recognizable today. The Order of the Asiatic Brethren was the Masonic side of the academically minded Magical Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross (Orden des Gold- und Rosenkreutz) in Germany. It's influence on the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis AKA the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross in it's various disguises in France seems recognizable in it's degree system and mix of teachings. Both seem likely influences on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and all it's descendants. That the French and English Orders that follow are more focused on Qabalah and Solomanic (Ceremonial) Magick than practical alchemy indicates their primary source was the Asiatic Brethren than the Golden and Rosy Cross itself, where practical, medicinal results in laboratory experiments and patenting the results was the focus. It organized Melchisedeck lodges to perform the 1st 3 degrees of Freemasonry for non Christians so they could join this advanced Freemason society. In addition to Alchemy, these Qabalists studied instructions how to rule spirits, by breaking the seven seals. Although mixing Christian and Jewish symbolism, 3rd degree initiates were called “True Rosicrucians.” It was structured with two Informational degrees, the Seekers received lectures, then 2nd degree “Sufferers” did physical experiments in Alchemy. The First Chief Degree of “Knights and Brother-Initiates from Asia in Europe“ has many Masonic elements and an oath of Secrecy. The Second Chief Degree, Wise Masters taught qabalistic secrets. The Third, or Chief Degree was called the Royal Priests, or True Rosicrucians, or the Degree of Melchisedeck. Hints indicate it may have been instructions on the Holy Names of God and their uses in both Meditation and Magick. The highest degree, the Sanhedrim, a term taken from Rabbinical literature, ran the Order. Duke Charles introduced it into Sweden in the 1780s, followed up by C A Boehman in the 1790s, who, after fighting with both the Golden and Rosy Cross (Orden des Gold- und Rosenkreutz) in Germany and Adam Weishaupt's Order of Illuminati in Bavaria, formed a masonic-magical society called DELU in Denmark with Prince Carl of Hessen. Among it's practitioners was Johann Caspar Lavater, author of Aphorisms of Man, 1788, a hero of William Blake; Sir Ralph Hamilton; Carl Boheman; Resources xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Illuminati.htm Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: A Precise Exegesis on the
Available Evidence Illuminati Conspiracy Part Two: Sniffing out Jesuits A Metaprogrammer at the Door of Chapel Perilous I n the literature that concerns the Illuminati relentless speculation abounds. No other secret society in recent history - with the exception of
Freemasonry - has generated as much legend, hysteria, and
disinformation. I first became aware of the the Illuminati about
14 years ago. Shortly thereafter I read a book, written by Robert
Anton Wilson, called Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the
Illuminati. Wilson published it in 1977 but his opening remarks on
the subject still ring true today: has worked; no two students of Illuminology have ever agreed totally about what the "inner secret" or purpose of the Order actually was (or is . . .). There is endless room for spooky speculation, and for pedantic paranoia, once one really gets into the literature of the subject; and there has been a wave of sensational "ex-poses" of the Illuminati every generation since 1776. If you were to believe all this sensational literature, the damned Bavarian conspirators were responsible for everything wrong with the world, including the energy crises and the fact that you can't even get a plumber on weekends. (pp. 3-4) That short excerpt is perhaps the most honest and succinct introduction to the Illuminati as you'll ever come across. So it is more than a bit ironic that Wilson, throughout the rest of the text, proceeds to perpetuate and expand upon similar myths, and in the process manages to take it to a whole new level. 2 In the end, the Illuminati had mystified Wilson as much as anyone in the preceding centuries. Robert Anton Wilson (RAW) is an enigma in his own right: an archetypal Trickster in the tradition of Aleister Crowley or Timothy Leary, both of whom he greatly admires. 3 The Cosmic Trigger Trilogy is meant to awaken the reader to multiple mind-blowing streams of thought and completely shatter preconceived notions of perception, time and space - much as the writings of illuminists themselves. Herein lies the seed of speculation to the effect that he must surely be in on the conspiracy - some have gone so far as to believe he's the Grand Master (or inner head) of the Illuminati himself. Wilson has always toyed with the accusations, and in typical RAW fashion, he's never denied it outright. Cosmic Trigger wasn't the first book Wilson dedicated to the theme, however. Two years earlier, in 1975, RAW and co-author Robert Shea popularized the modern wave of Illuminati conspiracies with the publication of the novel Illuminatus! Trilogy. A veritable cult classic, Illuminatus invigorated the underground market and spawned a whole new generation of conspiracy authors. One cannot read any of RAW's material without a healthy sense of humor, though, and Illuminatus is definitely no exception. Written between 1969 and 1971 it reads like a subversive anarchist manual, yet satirical and surreal at the same time. The cut-and-paste job of excerpts right into the flow of dialogue - from books and pamphlets on a wide range of conspiracy theories - probably boosted its appeal from the beginning. Any researcher investigating the Illuminati today would be remiss not to mention RAW - especially in a book or document purporting to cover the subject in detail. With the exception of Myron Fagan, "Wild" Bill Cooper, 4 the John Birchers and Biblical endtimes literature, the formation of the current mythos surrounding the subject has a lot to do with the popularity of Wilson's books: have you ever seen the Illuminati and the star Sirius mentioned in the same paragraph? Before plunging headlong into the history of the Bavarian Illuminati, it might be useful to have a look at Wilson's diagram - his interpretation (at the time) of the "occult conspiracy" as it has been transmitted through the ages (Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati, p.188): New Promethean Possibilities The Bavarian Illuminati originated during an age replete with the growing belief in the acquisition of truth through observation and experience. The Age of Enlightenment was in full swing and by the end of the Eighteenth Century an explosion of natural philosophy, science, the resurgence of hermeticism and occult experimentation, all competed directly with the traditional teachings of the Church and the Jesuit monopoly in the Universities and Colleges. 5 Numerous ideologies owe an intellectual and political heritage to this period: skepticism, rationalism, atheism, liberalism, humanism, reductionism, modernism, communism, nihilism and anarchism - among the most apparent. As the Eighteenth Century came to a close Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755), Denis Diderot (1713-1784), Voltaire (1694-1778), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), Marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794), Comte de Mirabeau (1749- 1791), David Hume (1711-1776), Adam Smith (1723-1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) were famous in their own time. The instrument of reason became a new faith, no less susceptible to its own breed of dogmatism. The philosophers of the Enlightenment reasoned that the physics of Newton might become applicable in all fields of endeavor: the fundamental cosmic laws of nature could transform society and man himself into a "noble savage." 6 The idea of a "glorious revolution" attained widespread acceptance, but during Weishaupt's time it was still a relatively new concept to link political change with social change. The "imminent revolution of the human mind," promulgated by the "radical Bavarian Illuminists," coincided with Mirabeau's doctrine of a coming secular upheaval and universal revolution. Mirabeau proclaimed Prussia to be the most likely place for the start of the revolution, with the "German Illuminists as its probable leaders." History records, however, that it was Mirabeau himself who became one of the main catalysts to spark the "fire in the minds of men" during the French Revolution. 7 At about the same time Weishaupt was embarking on an academic career two important figures entered the world stage: Thomas Robert Malthus, 8 born in 1766, a major influence on Darwinism, population control and the eugenics movement; four years later we see the birth of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, in Stuttgart Germany, the inventor of what would become known as the "Hegelian Dialectic." "For Hegelians," Antony C. Sutton reports, "the State is almighty and seen as 'the march of God on earth.' Indeed, a State religion. Progress in the Hegelian State is through contrived conflict: the clash of opposites makes for progress. If you can control the opposites, you dominate the nature of the outcome" (Introduction to the 2002 edition of America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones, no pagination PDF copy). Revolutionary radicals were impressed with the proof-of-concept displayed by the ruthless conspirators in France. Malthusian and Hegelian dogma became equally influential for anarchists, communists, the intelligentsia and the new breed of revolutionaries that surfaced in the 19th Century: Young Hegelians such as Bakunin, Proudhon and Marx took up the cause in the "spirit of the times" to "destroy in order to build." The Bavarian Illuminati: The "Insinuating Brothers" of ☉ “Do you realize sufficiently what it means to rule - to rule in a
secret society? Not only over the lesser or more important of the
populace, but over the best of men, over men of all ranks,
nations, and religions, to rule without external force, to unite
them indissolubly, to breathe one spirit and soul into them, men
distributed over all parts of the world? . . . And finally, do you
know what secret societies are? What a place they occupy in the
great kingdom of the world's events? Do you think they are
unimportant, transitory appearances?” A quick perusal on the World Wide Web will show the disparity of opinions and irreconcilable differences about the history of the Illuminati - Bavarian or otherwise. It's getting better though, a recent article published by the American Atheists 11 - The Enlightenment, Freemasonry, and The Illuminati - has solid documentation and thorough references for those inclined to investigate further into primary and secondary source material; the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon has uploaded part of Vernon L. Stauffer's New England and the Bavarian Illuminati; Bilderberg.org has most of the relevant parts of John Robison's classic, Proofs of a Conspiracy Against all the Religions and Governments of Europe; the Catholic Encyclopedia has long had a good, but short, article; nearly the
complete text - and the two most important chapters as it concerns
the Illuminati - from Nesta Webster's Secret Societies &
Subversive introduction to the Illuminati was the bestseller Angels &
Demons, there's a good debugging write-up from the Center for
Studies on New Religions. If you never buy a single book on the
Illuminati, and just read the internet references cited above, you
would have an excellent grasp - much greater than your average
conspiracy theorist - on the facts (as we can safely say)
concerning the rise and fall of the Bavarian Illuminati. I have
taken it a bit further, however. For the last six months I've
engaged in a crash course on the Illuminati and related subjects:
absorbing and taking notes from Proofs of a Conspiracy ..., and
other internet references; buying Barruel's Memoirs Webster's Secret Societies & Subversive Movements, Antelman's
To Eliminate the Opiate Vol. 1, Yates' The the same time consulting other works, in my own personal library, when needed. 12 A Chronological Overview 1748 February 6. Adam Weishaupt is born (d. 1830) of Westphalian parents [CE] in Ingolstadt Bavaria. Fittingly, the Weishaupt family name first appeared in Baden and was anciently associated with tribal conflicts around the area. [House of Names: Weishaupt Family Crest] 1755 1768 1772 1773 1775 1776 because of the "image of the sun radiating illumination to outer circles" [JB: 94-95] The Order was, therefore, always represented in communications between members as a circle with a dot in the center ☉ This symbolic imagery - the point within a circle, the Perfectibilists and the Bees - is also reflective of Weishaupt's fascination with Eleusinian 14 and Pythagorean Mysteries; no doubt learning of this early on having access to Ickstatt's considerable library. Like most secret societies the basic structure of the Order was divided into classes and degrees, in the following manner: 1. The Nursery 3. Minerval (Brethren of Minerva, Academy of Illuminism) 4. Illuminatus Minor 2. Symbolic Freemasonry Apprentice Fellow Craft Master 2. Mysteries 1. Presbyter, Priest, or Epopt 2. Prince or Regent 2. Greater 2. Rex or King "The Zoroastrian-Manichaean cult of fire was central to the otherwise eclectic symbolism of the Illuminists; their calendar was based on Persian rather than classical or Christian models." [JB: 95] Weishaupt explains: "The allegory in which the Mysteries and Higher Grades must be clothed is Fire Worship and the whole philosophy of Zoroaster or of the old Parsees 15 who nowadays only remain in India; therefore in the further degrees the Order is called 'Fire Worship' (Feuerdienst), the 'Fire Order,' or the 'Persian Order' - that is, something magnificent beyond all expectation." [NW:
201] Weishaupt constructed the Illuminati calendar to commemorate
the date of the Persian King Yazdegerd III (632 AD) [MI] - the
Parsees (Parsis) still use the same dating system to this day. 16
Barruel relates how the Illuminati Novice in-training "must …
learn how to date his letters, and be conversant with the
Illuminized Hegira or Calendar; for all letters which he will
receive in future will be dated according to the Persian era,
caled [sic] Jezdegert and beginning A.D. 630. The year begins with
the Illuminees on the first of Pharavardin, which answer to the
21st of March. Their first month has no less than forty-one days;
the following months, instead of being called May, June, July,
August, September, and October, are Adarpahascht, Chardad,
Thirmeh, Merdedmeh, original] 17 For the Novice, the letters to his Superior are to be written in cipher: "he must make himself master of that cypher, which is to serve him until initiated into the higher degrees, when he will be entrusted with the hieroglyphics of the Order." [AB: 429] Barruel (p.438) displays the first cipher 18 introduced to the Illuminati Novice: A B C D E F G H I K L M 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 N O P Q R S T U W X Y Z 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 The Hieroglyphic cipher used in the higher Scotch Knight degrees is also reproduced by Barruel: The Bavarian Illuminati were set up for "political intriguing rather than in speculation" [NW: 201], the Illuminati became "much more characteristic of a militia in action than an order with initiations." [JB: 95] Weishaupt's contempt for certain esoteric pursuits - as a "thing-in-itself" - was widely known: "... in Weishaupt's system the phraseology of Judaism, the Cabalistic legends of Freemasonry, the mystical imaginings of the Martinistes, play at first no part at all. For all forms of 'theosophy,' occultism, spiritualism, and magic Weishaupt expresses nothing but contempt, and the Rose-Croix masons are bracketed with the Jesuits by the Illuminati as enemies it is necessary to outwit at every turn. Consequently no degree of Rose-Croix finds a place in Weishaupt's system, as in all the other Masonic orders of the day which drew their influence from Eastern or Cabalistic 19 sources." [NW: 200] Weishaupt seems to have shown the most disdain towards the occult pursuits of his own time; of the ancient mysteries he has nothing but high regard. The Insinuators, while in pursuit of potential recruits, "must remark, that there exists doctrines solely transmitted by secret traditions, because they are above the comprehension of common minds. In proof of his assertions he will cite the Gymnosophists in the Indies, the Priests of Isis in Egypt, and those of Eleusis and the Pythagorean School in Greece." [AB: 422] Ascending the Illuminati hierarchy wasn't so much for the purpose of attaining wisdom as to be "remade into a totally loyal servant of a universal mission." [JB: 94] In a letter to fellow Illuminist, Xavier Zwack, dated Mar 10 1778, Weishaupt had said, "We cannot use people as they are, but begin by making them over." [JB: 94] 1777 1780 1782 "...it was not until the Congress de Wilhelmsbad that the
alliance between Illuminism and Freemasonry was finally
sealed....What passed at this terrible Congress will never be
known to the outside world, for even those men who had been drawn
unwittingly into the movement, and now heard for the first time
the real designs of the leaders, were under oath to reveal
nothing. One such honest Freemason, the Comte de Virieu, a member
of Martiniste Lodge at Lyons, returning from the Congre's de
Wilhelmsbad could not conceal his alarm, and when questioned on
the 'tragic secrets' he had brought back with him, replied: 'I
will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is
very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is
being woven is so well thought out that it will be, so to speak,
impossible for the monarchy and the Church to escape from it."
From this time onwards, says his biographer, M. Costa de
Beauregard, 'the Comte de Virieu could only speak of Freemasonry
with horror.'" (Nesta H. Webster. World 1784 Order, presented the Duchess Maria Anna with an internal Illuminati document, and a membership list. The Duchess was thoroughly alarmed and passed it on to the Duke. [VS, JR] 1785 "The Illuminees from these first degrees are educated in the following principles: 1. "The Illuminee who wishes to rise to the highest degree must be free from all religion; for a religionist (as they call every man who has any religion) will never be admitted to the highest degrees." 2. The Patet Exitus, or the doctrine on Suicide, is expressed in
the same terms as in the preceding deposition. 3. "The end
sanctifies the means. The welfare of the Order will be a
justification for calumnies, poisonings, 5. "The love of one's prince and of one's country are
incompatible with views of an immense extent, with the "The Superiors of Illuminism are to be looked upon as the most perfect and the most enlightened of men; no doubts are to be entertained even of their infallibility." "It is in these moral and political principles that the Illuminees are educated in the lower degrees; and it is according to the manner in which they imbibe them and show their devotion to the Order, or are able to second its views, that they are earlier or later admitted to the higher degrees. "They use every possible artifice to get the different post-offices in all countries entrusted to the care of their adepts only. They also boast that they are in possession of the secret of opening and reclosing letters without the circumstance being perceived. "They made us give answers in writing to the following questions: How would it be possible to devise one single system of morals and one common Government for all Europe, and what means should be employed to effectuate it? Would the Christian Religion be a necessary requisite? Should revolt be employed to accomplish it? &c. &c. "We were also asked, in which Brethren we should place the most confidence if there were any important plan to be undertaken; and whether we were willing to recognize the right of life and death as vested in the Order; and also the right of the sword, Jus Gladii. "In consequence of our acquaintance with this doctrine of the Illuminees, with their conduct, their manners, and their incitements to treason, and being fully convinced of the dangers of the Sect, we the Aulic Counsellor Utzschneider and the Priest Dillis left the Order. The Professor Grünberger, the Priest Cosandey, Renner, and Zaupfer, did the same a week after, though the Illuminees sought to impose upon us shamefully, by assuring us that his Electoral Highness was a member of their Order. We clearly saw that a Prince knowing his own interests, and wholly attending to the paternal care of his subjects, would never countenance a Sect, spreading through almost every province under the cloak of Free-masonry; because
it sows division and discord between parents and their children,
between Princes and their subjects, and among the most sincere
friends; because on all important occasions it would install
partiality on the seats of justice and in the councils, as it
always prefers the welfare of the Order to that of the state, and
the interests of its adepts to those of the prophane. Experience
had convinced us, that they would soon succeed in perverting all
the Bavarian youth. The leading feature in the generality of their
adepts were irreligion, depravity of morals, disobedience to their
Prince and to their parents, and the neglect of all useful
studies. We saw that the fatal consequence of Illuminism would be,
to create a general distrust between the prince and his subjects,
the father and his children, the minister and his secretaries, and
between the different tribunals and councils. We were not to be
deterred by that threat so often repeated, That no Prince can save
him that betrays us. We abandoned, one after the other, this Sect,
which under can be benefited by them." "We are not acquainted with the other Invisibles, who in all probability are chiefs of a higher degree. "After we had retired from the Order, the Illuminees calumniated us on all sides in the most infamous manner. Their cabal made us fail in every request we presented; succeeding in rendering us hateful and odious to our superiors, they even carried their calumnies so far as to pretend that one of us had committed murder. After a year's persecution, an Illuminee came to represent to the Aulic Counsellor Utzschneider, that from experience he must have learned that he was every where persecuted by the Order, that unless he could contrive to regain its protection, he would never succeed in any of his demands, and that he could still regain admission."

Here are some extracts taken from Massimo Lardi, Italianopera correspondent from Coira; Luca Bianchini and Anna Trombetta, Italianopera correspondents from Sondrio; and published in Grigionitaliani Notebooks, July 2000: "The baron Thomas Maria Freiherr De Bassus was born in Poschiavo, Switzerland, in 1742. He studied jurisprudence at the University of Ingolstadt. Weishaupt (code name Spartacus), who founded the Order of the Bavarian Illuminati, on the 1 May 1776, was his schoolmate. De Bassus practiced for a year as an Adviser of court to Münich in Bavaria. In 1767 he became Patron [Podestà] of Poschiavo, a task already taken from his father Giovanni Maria. He married Cecilia Domenica Massella, from a family of notaries. At the premature death of his father, he inherited the palace of piazza del Borgo in Poschiavo, known today as the Albrici Hotel, in addition to his wealthy possessions in Valtellina and in Val di Poschiavo. After he had engaged the position of legal Assistant in Tirano (in the province of Sondrio, under the power of Grigioni), De Bassus became Podestà of Traona in 1781 and inherited in that period the goods of the German family branch, e. g. the feuds of Sandersdorf, Mendorf, Eggersberg, Harlanden and Dachenstein. "Entering the Order of the Bavarian Illuminati with the code name of Hannibal, De Bassus had the assignment, like the pseudonym suggests, to spread Illuminism beyond the Alps, above all in the Three Leagues (Swiss) and in the north of Italy. De Bassus acquired a printing company that, with the help of the Illuminatus typographer Joseph Ambrosioni, became the center of the diffusion of Weishaupt's ideas from Poschiavo. The edition of De Bassus (1782) of the first Italian translation of the Werther of Goethe, written by Gaetano Grassi from Milan, was famous." In 1787, police searches of the Baron's castle turned up incriminating evidence against himself and the Illuminati. He was a great recruiter for the Order. In letters to Weishaupt he boasted of his conquests at Bozen (in the south of Austria), initiating "the President, the Vice-President, the principal Counsellors of Government, and the Grand Master of the Posts." Later, in his travels to Italy, he sends back word of having initiated "his Excellency the Count W…" in Milan.

Antelman declares that Bode was the tutor of Mendelssohn's wife [MA: 76]; very likely true since Bode was good friends with Mendelssohn's publishing partner, Lessing. Goethe was another one of Bode's good friends, and it was
probably through the latter that Goethe was "insinuated" into the
Illuminati - he was certainly one of " Goethe's best Masonic
advisers." Bode, according to Billington (p.96), was the "decisive
channel of Illuminist influence" on Nicholas Bonneville, during
his "first of two visits to Paris (June of 1787)" - which, by
itself, is enough to support the theory for a real Illuminati
influence on the French Revolution. The importance of Bonneville
on the ideas and progression of the French Revolution, and on
other groups and figures of the time, is fleshed out masterfully

In 1811 he enacted a special law "decreeing that all Jews living in Frankfort, together with their descendants, should enjoy civil rights and privileges equally with other citizens." 30 In exchange for these newfound liberties the Jews had to pay him 440,000 florins; 31 financed by Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 32 at a substantial profit, no doubt. A number of Masonic Jews at the time also petitioned von Karl for the "exclusive right to maintain lodges in the city." 33 According to Niall Ferguson, Mayer Amschel was soon acting as Dalberg's "court banker." During the emancipation of the Frankfort Jews, Rothschild had also advanced him 80,000 gulden "to finance his journey to Paris for the baptism of Napoleon's son." Afterwards, Rothschild assisted him in speculative purchases of land and Dalberg returned the favor by appointing Mayer Amschel to the electoral college of Hanau. Mayer Amschel's son, also named Amschel, continued the relationship after his father's death and advanced 250,000 gulden for Dalberg to purchase horses for the French army. 34 This Illuminated Prince had a spectacular career in the Roman Catholic church. According to the Catholic-Hierarchy.org, Archbishop Dalberg was a Priest for twenty-nine years and a Bishop for twenty-eight. At the time of his initiation though he had only been "Coadjutor of Mentz." [AB: 699] Interestingly, Lord Acton (John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton)
inherited the title of baronet from his grandfather, whose cousin
had married the only daughter of Karl's nephew Emmerich Joseph

He is often described as the "last Renaissance man." Goethe undertook the task to reintegrate the fragmented hermetic doctrines, culminating in his seminal work Faust. Michael Baigent writes, "… behind the encyclopedic scope and breadth of his activities lay essentially the same impetus that had motivated Agrippa and Paracelsus … Goethe was the true heir of the Hermetic magus of the Renaissance, working primarily in solitude and making himself the real subject and object of his alchemical experiment. Goethe not only depicted a Faust figure. As his contemporaries recognized, he was himself a Faust figure, whose fictional depiction of the magus was but an adjunct of his own personal Hermetic quest." 38 Goethe's Faust has put him in the company of Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. Academics praise this work and lecture on the "wide panorama of scenes from the vulgar to the sublime, with passages of wondrous poetry that can be sensed even through the veil of translation." 39 His scientific investigations impressed future generations as well: "Awed by Goethe's literary fame, dazzled by his reputation as the universal man, in decades after his death even noted scientists like Ernst Haeckel early praised him as the bold amateur precursor of Darwin." 40 Carl Jung was another intellectual/mystic in awe of Goethe. Faust
for him, throughout his life, was to remain his most sacred book:
"I regard my work on alchemy as a sign of my inner relationship to
Goethe. Goethe's secret was that he was in the grip of that
process of archetypal transformation which has gone on through the
centuries. He regarded his Faust as an opus framework of this drama. Thus, what was alive and active within
him was a living substance, a super personal process, the great
dream of the mundus archetypus (archetypal world)." 41 Baigent
elaborates: "For Jung, Goethe exemplified the premise enunciated
by Hermetic magi of the more distant past, from Paracelsus and
Agrippa back to Zosimus and the practitioners of ancient
Alexandria - that the alchemist must ultimately be the subject and
object of his own experiment, an experiment by which he himself is
transmuted." 42 Haeffelin, Kasimir Frhr. von (1737-1827) Vice-President of the Spiritual Council at Munich, and Bishop in Partibus Herder, Johann Gottfried von (1744-1803) Damasus pontifex General Superintendent, Weimar; philosopher, poet, critic, theologian Goethe; Hegel; Immanuel Kant; Schleiermacher -> Böckh; Johann Georg Hamann; Karl August, Duke of SaxeWeimar -> University of Jena Hertel, Jakob Anton Hoheneicher, Franz von Paula (1753-1844) Hornstein, Max Frhr. von Karl August (1757-1828) Marius Canon of Munich Alcibiades Counselor and archivist in Freising Vespasian Baron, of Munich Aeschylus Grand Duke of Saxe-WeimarEisenach Karl Ludwig von Knebel; Goethe; Herder -> University of Jena; Frederick the Great -> "League of Princes" Karl, Landgraf von HessenKassel (17441836) Aaron Prince of the Hesse Royal Family Mayer Amschel Rothschild -> Nathan (Prince Karl of Hessen-Kassel); Office Mayer Rothschild -> British East India of Regent of Schleswig-Holstein; Company; Princess of Denmark, Mary Grand Master of the "Asiatic Hanover (wife); King of Denmark, Frederik Brethren" V Oldenburg (father in-law); Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld; Comte de St. Germain; Hans Heinrich von Ecker und Eckhoffen (Magister Pianco); Isaak Daniel Itzig -> Moses Mendelssohn The Asiatic Brethren is an important subject, and crucial to uncovering the occult roots of various secret societies that appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, in the 18th Century. In fact, there is an entire site devoted to the subject, called the "Authentic Tradition," which has an unbelievable amount of research on the subject. The "Asiatics" link together Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, Templar Freemasonry, Jewish Cabalistic Frankist/Sabbatian occultism and the Illuminati. That our illuminated Prince was the Grand Master of the Asiatic Lodge 43 is significant: it definitively ties the two secret societies together. St. Germain - Another intriguing connection is that of the famous occultist and alchemist, St. Germain: "[Germain] soon makes another interesting acquaintance - Prince Karl of Hesse- Kassel, Governor of Schleswig-Holstein and ardent Mason and occultist. St-Germain informs his new friend that he will be a permanent houseguest. Karl is reluctant, but finally agrees, and the two settle in Schleswig, where they study chemistry and distribute herbal remedies to the poor. Karl calls him 'the greatest philosopher who ever lived,' and nicknames him 'Papa'. After five years, the Count catches pneumonia from his draughty lab. He dies on 27 February 1784. Karl is away at a Masonic conclave, but the death is witnessed by his doctor." 44 Maurice the Learned - It is revealing to note the long association of the Hessen-Kassel family to the occult. One particular ancestor is noteworthy. Karl is a direct descendant of "Maurice the Learned" of Hesse-Cassel (Landgraf Moritz von Hessen-Kassel, 1572-1632). Maurice procured the services of Rosicrucians and Alchemists such as Johannes Rhenanus and Michael Maier. The former served the Prince in many capacities, "working first in his chemical laboratory and towards the end of his life as the Prince's family doctor. He was also the author of a number of Paracelsian and iatrochemical texts (e.g. Urocriterium Chymiatricum, Marburg, 1609) and clearly a practising alchemist." 45 As for the latter, Maier was a very important figure and well-connected with many of the leading nobility of Europe and other famous occultists such as Robert Fludd. Maier produced an incredible amount of Rosicrucian/alchemical treatises and became the court physician to Maurice around 1614. 46 Francis Yates also underscores the fact that the town of Cassel is where the Rosicrucian Manifestos were first published (1614 and 1615). 47 Hardly a coincidence, Maurice had already founded the Collegium Mauritianum in 1599, which taught all sorts of advanced arcane studies - while at the same time he controlled "an extensive hermetic alchemical circle." 48 The sudden open appearance of the Rosicrucians and their manifestos perplexing to most historians - isn't all that mysterious in an environment such as existed under his rule. Much more research should be done on the House of Hesse as a whole; they appear to be the fulcrum of the most significant major revivals in western occult tradition. Rothschild - Prince Karl and the House of Hesse represent the strongest connection yet between the Rothschild Dynasty and the Illuminati. The two families had such an intimate relationship that there's a strong possibility for the Rothschilds having at least contributed financially to the Bavarian Illuminati - if only in Karl's name. Beginning with Karl's father Friedrich (Friedrich II Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel), the HessenKassel Royal Family made a fortune from leasing Hessen-Kassel mercenaries to various monarchies: "Hessen-Kassel contributed 16.000-23.000 men to the
Anglo-Prussian army"; "17,000 Hessians fought the rebels in the
WAR OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE - Count Friedrich 'earned' 20 million
Thalers." 49 "His banker, since 1783, was Frankfurt Jew MEYER
AMSCHEL WILHELM IX. (Karl's brother), one of the wealthiest monarchs of his time." (Ibid.; italic emphasis mine, caps in the original) From the Jewish Encyclopedia: "Mayer [Amschel Rothschild] was a
general agent and banker, and traded also in works of art and
curios. In the latter connection he became an agent of William fortune in Europe, derived mainly from the hire of troops to the British government for the putting down of the Revolution in the United States." (italic emphasis mine) From the very beginning the Rothschild patriarch sought to secure
favor with the Hesse Royal Family. In 1769, after a letter of
flattery to Karl's brother Prince William, Mayer Amschel
Rothschild receives permission to nail a gold-letter sign to his
shop, which read: "M. A. Rothschild, by appointment court factor
to his serene highness, Prince William of Hanau." (The Rothschilds
Part 1) By 1816 after the Austrian minister of finance proposed
the Rothschilds receive official nobility, the Hesse Coat of Arms
became a key component: "The Rothschilds were asked to submit a
coat of arms, which Solomon did: it consisted in quarterly: 1) or
an eagle sable surcharged in dexter by a field gules, 2) gules a
leopard supporters were a greyhound and a stork, the crest a coronet with a lion issuant. […] The eagle alluded to Austria, the lion to Hesse-Kassel." (Jewish Heraldry; bold emphasis mine) The Hesse-Kassel mercenary blood-money, in turn, became the catalyst for the beginning of the Rothschild family fortune. The Jewish Encyclopedia informs us that Nathan Rothschild was on such good terms with (Illuminati) Prince Dalberg, that Napoleon had made him a member of the Electoral College of Darmstadt in 1810. Meanwhile, the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel (William IX) had already fled to Denmark after the battle of Jena in 1806. He sent his money "to Nathan in London, who in 1808 utilized it to purchase £800,000 worth of gold from the East India Company, knowing that it would be needed for Wellington's Peninsular campaign. He made no less than four profits on this: (1) on the sale of Wellington's paper, (2) on the sale of the gold to Wellington, (3) on its repurchase, and (4) on forwarding it to Portugal. This was the beginning of the great fortunes of the house, and its early transactions may be divided into three stages, in each of which Nathan was the guiding spirit: namely, (1) from 1808 to 1815, mainly the transmission of bullion from England to the Continent for the use of the British armies and for subventions to the allies; (2) from 1816 to 1818, 'bearing' operations on the stock exchange on the loans needed for the reconstruction of Europe after Napoleon's downfall; and (3) from 1818 to 1848, the undertaking of loans and of refunding operations, which were henceforth to be the chief enterprises of the house." Kapfinger, Georg Kleucker, Johann Friedrich (17491827) Knigge, Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Freiherr von (1752-1796) Thales milesius Secretary to Count Tattenbach Philosopher and theologian, rector at Osnabrueck; author of occult subjects Gotthold Ephraim Lessing; the Martinist Order; Franz Xaver von Baader Terentius Varro Philo Writer; Freemason Weishaupt, Goethe, Nicolai; German Masonic lodges; House of Hessen-Kassel Baron Knigge was instrumental to the spread of Illuminism.

[VS] He penned works of "romance, popular philosophy, and dramatic
poetry" [VS] and wrote reviews for Nicolai's He became fascinated with secret societies and, at the earliest age possible, joined a lodge of Strict Observance. He was very interested in the subjects of theosophy, magic, alchemy, and the Rosicrucians. [VS] Strict Observance freemasonry had been started in Germany by Baron von Hund. The "Knights of Strict Observance" swore allegiance to "unknown superiors" and claimed direct descent from the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians. 51 The Strict Observance lodges created an occult pedigree to
attract recruits with the promise of joining an Order of a
continuous, ancient descent. Secrets that began in antiquity were
more appealing than something only recently devised. Weishaupt
understood this from the beginning Order he immediately asked Weishaupt for proof. Weishaupt
admitted it was only a ruse, but rather than being offended,
Knigge - knowing that this was an important part of a secret
society's appeal - immediately "proceeded to build one of his own,
where the Illuminati were declared as having originally been
founded by Noah, and revived after a period of decline by St John
the Evangelist." [MI] Kolborn, Joseph Hieronymus Karl Freiherr von

teachings. 54 In a letter to Zwack, Weishaupt expresses his doubt
about Kolowrat's conversion to the illuminist ideology, worrying
that he still clings to a traditional view on religion: "Do put
Brother Numenius in correspondence with me," he says, "I must try
to cure him of his Theosophical ideas, and properly prepare him
for our views." [AB: 505] Koppe, Johann Benjamin (17501791)

Weltpriester) in Erding Weishaupt There's a lot of controversy surrounding this Illuminatus; and he is an initiate as Professor Dülmen confirms. In 1785 Lanz was struck by lightning, and killed, at the side of Weishaupt in Regensburg. Here's Weishaupt's account of the incident: "When my late friend Lanz was struck by lightning at my side in the year 1785 in Regensburg, what an opportunity this could have provided me to play the penitent and remorseful hypocrite, and thus gain the confidence of my persecutors." Barruel says "Among his adepts was one LANZ, an apostate priest. Weishaupt designed him as the person to carry his mysteries and conspiracies into Selesia. His mission was already fixed, and Weishaupt was giving him his last instructions, when a thunder-bolt from Heaven struck the apostate dead, and that by the side of Weishaupt. The Brethren, in their first fright, had not recourse to their ordinary means for diverting the papers of the deceased adept from the inspection of the magistrate. [footnote] See the Apology of the Illuminees, P. 62." [AB: 683] Lanz could very well have been on a mission to carry out "conspiracies into Selsia;" afterall, that is what they did: carry out conspiracies, that's the whole purpose behind the Order! Illuminati apologists, such as the Freemasons, take issue with the fact that Barruel had called Lanz "an apostate priest," when in fact he was only a "Weltpriester." Minor detail, because Lanz was in fact an illuminatus. The Masons would have you believe the following: "As an example of the mythology that surrounds the history of the Illuminati, note that Barruel claimed that Lanz, an Illuminati courier and apostate priest, was struck by lightning, thus revealing Weishaupt's papers to the authorities, but this does not appear to be substantiated. This error was widely reprinted and enlarged on by subsequent anti-masons whose lack of research and disdain for historical accuracy has lead them to confuse Johann Jakob Lanz (d.1785), a non-Illuminati secular priest in Erding, and friend of Weishaupt, with Franz Georg Lang, a court advisor in Eichstätt who was active in the Illuminati under the name Tamerlan. "Barruel mistakenly translated "weltpriester", or secular priest, as apostate priest and subsequent writers such as Webster and Miller have repeated this error. Eckert renamed Weishaupt's friend as Lanze and had him struck by lightning while carrying dispatches in Silesia. Miller cited Eckert but renamed Lanz as Jacob Lang and placed the lightning strike in Ratisbon. This is a minor detail in the history but it demonstrates the lack of accuracy often displayed by detractors of the Illuminati." (emphasis mine) "Minor detail" is right! As I said, all that matters is Lanz WAS Illuminati. That there were secret documents found on his person hasn't been substantiated by any historian. But he was struck by lightning, and subsequently died; he was Illuminati; and most likely, he was carrying out some nefarious plot on behalf of his master and brethren. I don't know why the Grand Lodge of Yukon and BC continue to falsely state that Lanz was "a non-illuminati"; after all, it is at their site that Professor Dülmen's list is published. Exact entry: "x Lanz, Joh. Jakob, Weltpriester in Erding [Sokrates], 89, 99, 101, 268, 392, 400." The "x" denotes a "secure" membership and long association; a double x (xx) represents an "unsecured" membership - they're not sure about the candidate yet, but an illuminated alias was given nonetheless. The reason I have published the present document is to be as historically accurate as possible; the masons profess the same thing, and giving Dülmen's membership list, a correction on their part is warranted.

Weishaupt's second-in-command, Baron von Knigge, had also struck up a friendship with Mauvillon - to the benefit of the Illuminati. In a letter to Weishaupt, he writes: "I have now found in Cassel the best man, on whom I cannot congratulate ourselves enough: he is Mauvillon, Grand Master of one of the Royal York Lodges. So with him we have the whole lodge in our hands. He has also got from there all their miserable degrees."

Nicolai was undoubtedly Weishaupt's main source for procuring books and journals, and from that acquaintance was likely initiated into the Order himself. Subsequently, the Illuminati would publish many pamphlets, articles and revolutionary tracts through this most important channel. To stress the importance of Nicolai to the dissemination of ideas during the German Enlightenment it is reported that his journal Allgemeine Deutsche Bibliothek, for instance, reviewed a staggering 80,000 books in forty years.

Along with Cosandey, Renner, and Grünberger, Utzschneider played a major role in the Illuminati's downfall. [VS, JR, CE] Weishaupt, Adam (17481830) Werner, Erasmus von Will, Anton (1756-1827) Wundt, Karl Kasimir (17441784) Spartacus Founder; Professor at Ingolstadt Revolutionaries for the next two-hundred years Menelaus Counsellor at Munich Agrippa Professor, Ingolstadt University of Strasbourg, Lyon and Charenton Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (grandson) -> Order of the Skull and Bones -> American Educational Establishment Raphael Professor, Heidelberg University; pastor, Wieblingen This member has the distinction of being the grandfather to the experimental educational psychologist, William Wundt. Wundt's methods were grafted onto the American Educational Establishment by three Skull and Bones members: "Daniel Coit Gilman (First President of University of California and First President of Johns Hopkins University), Timothy Dwight (twelfth President of Yale University) and Andrew Dickson White (First President of Cornell University)." (Professor Antony Sutton, America's Secret Establishment; PDF, no pagination, section titled "Memorandum Number Ten: Keeping The Lid On The Pot") The "revolutionary trio" of Bonesmen set off for the University of Berlin to receive post-graduate degrees while the "Hegelian philosophical ferment" was still in full swing. (Ibid.) This would mark the beginning of the plot to turn the education system into a humanistic "experimental laboratory." (See World Government Fronts, Psycho-social Change Agents, for instance) I credit Sutton for citing Dülmen's work: the source for the majority of the members used to compile the present membership outline. After finding out Wundt had a grandfather in the Illuminati I looked at the basis of Sutton's find: Richard van
Dülmen's, Der Geheimbund der a simple Google search turned up the relevant portions of the book; published at the site of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon, along with the accompanying large list of members. According to Sutton, the list is from the "Illuminati Provincial Report from Utica (i.e., Heidelberg) dated September 1782." (America's Secret Establishment; PDF, no pagination; section titled "The Hegelian Influence On Hall") Robison and Barruel wrote their paltry lists based upon the available information at the time. During the 1790s investigations were still continuing and more material has since seen the light of day - unfortunately most of it still remains in German. In 1918 Vernon L. Stauffer wrote that there were 96 principle works devoted to the Illuminati. I imagine the number of titles is much higher now. At any rate, we owe Professor Richard van Dülmen a debt of gratitude for making the list a part of the historical record. If anyone would like to have the Dülmen excerpts professionally translated into English, please let me know - I will be more than willing to pay for the service. Zwack, Baron Franz Xavier von (1755-1843) Zwack, Simon Cato (also Danaus & Phil.-Strozzi) Lawyer, Judge; Aulic Counselor, and Weishaupt (Cato was his closest confidant); Counselor of the Regency Prince von Salm; Count (Baron) Montgelas Claudius Lawyer, Aichad An Intimate Look inside the Illuminati (4), Livonia (many), Ancona, Courland (many), Florence, Franken Dahl, France, Alsace (many), Holland (many), Vienna (4), Dresden (4), America (several). [JR] The whole plan for governing the Order is reprinted in Barruel's Memoirs …, pp. 541-78. It entails Weishaupt's instructions to his Regents, Local Superiors, Provincials and National Directors. The international character is stressed in a letter to the National Superiors: "In every nation there shall be a National Director associated and in direct communication with our Fathers, the first of whom holds the helm of the Order." [AB: 565] I have created a graphic based on the system described by Weishaupt: At the helm of course was Weishaupt, the absolute dictator. In order to maintain complete secrecy he conceived a plan which would have been successful had the initiates carried it through without deviation. In two letters, first to Zwack and then to Baader, he explains: "For the present, direct nobody to me but Cortez, that I may have some leisure to digest my speculations, and determine each one's place; for every thing depends on that. My operations with you shall be directed by the following table: "Immediately under me I have two adepts, into whom I infuse my
whole spirit; each of these corresponds with two others, and so
on. By this method, and in the simplest way possible, I can
inflame and put in motion thousands of men at once. It is by such
means that orders are to be transmitted and political operations
carried on." Then to Baader, a few days later, he writes: "I have
sent to Cato a table (schema) showing how one may probably have shown it to you; if he has not, ask for it. Here is
the figure (then follows the figure). "The spirit of the first, of
the most ardent, of the most profound adept daily and incessantly
communicates itself to the two A, A; by the one to B, B; by the
other to C, C: B B and C C communicate it to the eight following;
these to the next sixteen, from thence to the thirty-two and so
downwards. I have written a long explanation of it all to Cato. In
a word, every man has his Aide-Major, by whose means he
immediately acts on all were, to his own person, two men whom he searches to the bottom, whom he observes, disposes, inflames, and drills, as it were, like recruits, that they may hereafter exercise and fire with the whole regiment. The same plan may be followed throughout all the degrees." [AB: 575; emphasis in original] With that explanation we see the seeds of many revolutionary groups and the way to operate within cells never apprehending the "unknown superiors" directing them from above. Despite the confessions of a few Illuminati, secrecy was rigidly imposed and obeyed. From the very beginning, the initiate is thrust into a culture of total surveillance - on himself, his family and associates. We'll begin from the Novice degree to see how this was accomplished. Insinuators and Scrutators will carefully insert his reasons for the admission or rejection of those persons in his monthly statements." [Ibid. 416] The Insinuator cannot pursue either Pagans or Jews, and above all he is to "shun the Ex-Jesuits like he would the plague." [AB, NW, VS] The Illuminati had a particular rabid hatred towards the Jesuits, beginning with Weishaupt's own disdain. A whole covert unit was constructed within the Minerval Academies to publish and disseminate anti-Jesuit material. They even had their own printer in Munich to produce new editions, at their own expense, of propaganda opposing the
Jesuits. [AB: 586] Members who are schoolmasters and professors
are commissioned to guard against the Jesuits, and to obtain the
expulsion of all those discovered. [Ibid. 608] They had great
success in this endeavour, and particularly in Ingolstadt: "The Dowager Duchess has modeled her Institute for the Cadets
entirely on the plan prepared by the Order. That The trial period for a Novice could last from one to three years, depending on the age of the initiate. Secrecy is instilled from the start as the Novice receives his new alias; his characteristic or adoptive name. He is then tasked to write a history of his new patron, to help him understand the qualities and actions that he is to emulate. For Weishaupt, Spartacus is an apt alias; for Goethe, Abaris is particularly appropriate as well. 64 The Novice is also let in on the secret names applied to towns and regions. He learns that "Bavaria, the country of their founder, is denominated Achaia; Swabia, Pannonia; Franconia, Austria, and Tyrol are denoted by Illyria, Egypt, and Peloponnesus; Munich is called Athens; Bamberg, Antioch; Inspruck, Samos; Vienna in Austria, Rome; Wurtzburg, Carthage; Frankfort on the Mein becomes Thebes; and Heidelberg, Utica. Ingolstadt, the natal soil of the Order, was not sufficiently denoted by Ephesus; this privileged town was to be decorated with a more mysterious name, and the profound adepts bestowed on it that of Eleusis." [AB: 429; emphasis in original] To the Illuminati the greatest of all study was the "knowledge of men." Weishaupt himself became very good at psychology and sociological manipulation. The Insinuator - by this time, his Brother Teacher - will examine everything the Novice has written in his journal; and exercises on ancient authors and the heroes of antiquity will help the Novice in constructing a proper outline of those around him. [AB: 431] All the while he is constantly pressed by his Superiors "to propose those whom he may think fit for the Order." While studying the art of knowing himself and others, the Novice fills his journal with every detail; his age, occupation, country and place of residence; what he likes to study, the books in his library, secret writings he may possess; his revenue, his enemies, and reason thereof; outlines of his acquaintances, protectors and friends. [AB: 433] In all, there are seventeen columns to fill, [Ibid. 597] and a second table is subjoined which is reserved for complete descriptions of his family, particularly his father, mother and siblings. 65 The discourse to the next degree says it all: "for men may be turned to any thing by him who knows how to take advantage of their ruling passions." [Ibid. 449] And one might add, by taking advantage of his family's "ruling passions" as well. Later on, in the Minor Illuminatus degree, Weishaupt admonishes: "Assiduously observe every Brother entrusted to your care; watch him particularly on all occasions where he may be tempted not to be what he ought to be." [AB: 448] Weishaupt is seeking to create the perfect spy in each of them. Upon admission to the Major Illuminatus degree the candidate is told of the code "Nosce te ipsum" (know thyself), and when another Brother pronounces it he is supposed to reply "Nosce alios" (know others). [Ibid. 455] In this degree, the spying is taken to a whole other level. The candidate is told to scrutinize his inferiors in the form of questions about his physiognomy; his countenance; his gait; his language; his education - and each topic has multiple questions to elicit precise descriptions. The "Scrutators," in order to answer the questions posed, gather the facts when the target least expects it. Amazingly, they actually go so far as to follow their prey into his bedroom, "where they will learn whether he is a hard sleeper, whether he dreams, and whether he talks when dreaming; whether he is easily or with difficulty awakened; and should he be suddenly, forcibly, or unexpectedly awakened from his sleep, what impression would it make on him?" [Ibid. 455-56] It is also in the Major Illuminatus degree that the candidate delivers up a sealed history of his life. This is then compared with the tables already in the possession of his superiors - the complete picture drawn up of his person. And if it coincides with the surveillance conducted he is then admitted into the deeper mysteries. [AB: 456] By this time the adept is well accustomed to the investigations, and no objection would be forthcoming. The all-seeing eye of the Order had become habitual. The "Brethren of Minerva" the academy is to meet and they call their meeting place a Church. The gathering is held twice a month, always on the full moon. The Church is preceded by an anti-chamber, "with a strong door armed with bolts, which is to be shut during the time of the meeting; and the whole apartment is to be so disposed, that it shall be impossible for intruders either to see or hear anything that is going forward." [AB: 441] At the commencement of each meeting, the President reads chosen
passages from the Bible, Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, or
Confucius. Barruel notes the care taken to give all the works the
same weight and authority. After the lecture, each pupil is
questioned on the "books which he has read since the last meeting;
on the observations or discoveries he may have made; and on the
labours or services toward the progress of the Order." [AB: 441]
There are multiple academies for the Minervals, and in each one
there is an appropriate library. The Illuminati supply the books
with money from the brethren; from the list of books the candidate
has said belong to him, which are extracted from his possession if
found useful; and third, by any means necessary - theft and
robbery being encouraged. The precious volumes are usually stolen
from the courts of Princes, Nobles and Religious Orders.
Periodically lists are drawn up and the brethren are encouraged to
procure them anyway they can: "all these would be of much greater
use if they were in our hands. What do those rascals do with all
those books?" [AB: 441] Each year the Superiors pose questions to
the pupils which they are to answer in the form of dissertations.
These are meant for public consumption and the Illuminati have
booksellers (like Nicolai) who put the works into circulation.
[AB: 442-43] An important symbol for the "Brethren of Minerva" is
of course the owl. David Livingstone first proposed a theory to me
in the following manner: Dionysus is interchangeable with Apollo, and Apollo's counterpart is Athene or Minerva, whose symbol is the owl. Thus the owl became an important Illuminati symbol, and was adapted to the name of one of their grades, the "Minervals". Likewise, Hegel, who undoubtedly would have been a member, stated: "When philosophy paints its gray on gray, then has a form of life grown old, and with gray on gray it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known; the Owl of Minerva first takes flight with twilight closing in." - "Preface," Philosophy of Right And so, the name of the Journal of the Hegel Society of North America is the "Owl of Minerva". Take note of the mention of Dionysus as being directly linked, through Apollo, to Minerva. The Eleusinian mysteries were revered by the Illuminati above all the ancient practices - and Dionysus is associated with the rites performed at Eleusis. The "Bird of Minerva" has been a symbol for the goddess of wisdom (Athena/Minerva) for thousands of years. Hegel used it, the Journal of the Hegel Society of America employs the symbol, and the Bohemian Club uses it as well. In the Cremation of Care ceremony, ritualized at the Bohemian Grove, we hear the "Priest" intone: "O thou, great symbol of all mortal wisdom, Owl of Bohemia, we do beseech thee, grant us thy counsel." 66 Turning to Hegel, according to Jacques d'Hondt in Hegel Secret, Hegel and Schelling "were avid readers of a Journal dedicated to the events in France from a more or less Girondist point of view, Minerva, the title of which found its way into Hegel's Philosophy of Right … The engraving on the first issue of Minerva shows the owl of Minerva, which according to d'Hondt is Masonic but which is also the ancient symbol of Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom among other things, taking flight from a basket at the top of a monumental column." 67 The correlation with the Illuminati seems obvious in hindsight, but at the time David suggested the connection, I did not know for sure whether the Minerval Degree was meant to allude to Minerva. It does indeed. Each member of the Academy is called a Minerval, but the whole of the school is called the "Brethren of Minerva." Moreover, the discourse for initiation
into the Major Illuminatus degree - the superiors of the Brethren
of Minerva - makes the case concrete: how few hearken to them! He alone who has the eye of the bird of Minerva, who has placed his labours under the protection of the star of night, is sure of finding them." [AB: 458; bold emphasis mine] As if this wasn't enough, later in the book, Barruel makes this matter-of-fact statement: "Weishaupt had adopted the bird of night for his emblem." (p. 582) Illuminati Conspiracy Part Two: Sniffing out Jesuits NB: My apologies to those who've been waiting three years for this "Part Two." As many of you know, since the posting of my "Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: Exegesis on the Available Evidence" in August 2005, I have been hard at work on a book about the Bavarian Illuminati. So, necessarily, I had to put on hold the planned three part series. As the book is finished and scheduled for a November 2008 release, I am free to proceed. (Part two is not what I had originally planned on writing, but nonetheless, it is original and distinct from the book.) - TM Orientation: The Bavarian Illuminati were the antagonists of the Jesuits, and vice versa I have chosen to critique parts of | this webpage | as a means to inform the reader on certain facts essential to a proper understanding of the 18th Century Bavarian Order of Illuminati. The other reason is this: a particularly rabid and extremely annoying "Jesuits-rule-the-world" theorist who spams many YahooGroups (always in the customary all-caps shouting mode), had deigned this "Religious Counterfeits" webpage as the proper authority - I am not sure why - on the following theories: 1) that Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit - not just Jesuit-trained, but a Jesuit priest; and 2) that the Illuminati, therefore, are synonymous with the Jesuits and, in fact, the two are the same (that is, the former was merely the organ of the latter, and the proof of said assertion is the fact that Weishaupt was supposedly a Jesuit himself). To someone who has even a modicum of familiarity with the 18th-Century European Enlightenment, this is indeed a preposterous claim; it's based upon a falsehood - Weishaupt being a Jesuit - and displays ignorance of the history of the period to which we speak. What follows is a quote/rebuttal format which will hopefully put to rest certain erroneous assertions being claimed by the Jesuits=Illuminati theorists. Quote: There have always been Occultists who practiced the process of Illumination, but the term "Illuminati" was used first in the 15th Century by enthusiasts in the Occult Arts, signifying those who claimed to possess "light" directly communicated from some higher source, through mysticism. The first occurrence of "Illuminati" was not in the 15th century.
"Illuminati" has been used by followers of Mani, or Manes
(Manichaeism; the apostles of light) - they called him the supreme
illuminator. The Virgin Mary, too, was given the appellation
"Maria Illuminatrix" and the "illuminated/illuminator." Jewish
Kabbalists were called Illuminati. And lest the reader get the
impression it is only used in the occult or by the Roman Catholic
Church, be reminded that in Calvin's Institutes, the theologian
mentions twenty times the word Illuminati and Illuminatus, four
times (see Carl F. H. Henry, God, Revelation and Authority (Vol.
IV), Good News "Illuminated" and "Illuminate.") Quote: We find the name "Illuminati" in Spain about the end of the 15th Century. The Founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius Loyola classed himself as a member of the Illuminati. And, from time to time, here and there, small bodies of those called "The Illuminati", sometimes known as Rosicrucians" rose into publicity for a short period. Yes, the Alumbrados (or Aluminados) literally means Illuminati -
dubbed so because of their Gnostic, Kabbalistic (some were Jewish
conversos), mystical, almost Quietist tendencies. But Loyola
didn't, as is dishonestly claimed, class "himself as a member." In
fact, just the opposite - he denied it outright. He was questioned
on a couple of occasions by the Inquisition on exactly this point,
and each time he vehemently refuted the charges. (I don't believe
him, myself. But I would be lying if I claimed Loyola had "classed
himself a member.") These Alumbrados have no relation whatsoever
to the Illuminatenorden of the 18th Century. The former were
mystically inclined ascetics, while the latter was a child,
through and through, of the rationalist Quote: Weishaupt was a Jesuit Priest who was involved in "Illumination" or Witchcraft. Not true, on both counts. As I had written before, in the notes to "Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: Exegesis on the Available Evidence" in 2005, "Weishaupt was indeed taught by the Jesuits, though he himself wasn't one of them. Many prominent thinkers - such as Voltaire, Descartes, and Diderot - were trained by Jesuits, but I've yet to see the same inaccuracy applied to them." Don't take my word for it, though. Feel free to consult real historians on the Bavarian Illuminati: René Le Forestier, Les Illuminés de Bavière et la francmaçonnerie allemande (1914; PhD dissertation); Leopold Engel, Geschichte des Illuminaten-ordens (1906); Peggy Pawlowski, Der Beitrag Johann Adam Weishaupts zur Pädagogik des Illuminatismus (2004; PhD dissertation). Also, in addition to Peggy Pawlowski, see the
work of the three living experts on the Illuminati: Dr. Hermann
Schüttler, Reinhard Markner, and Dr. Monika Neugebauer-Wölk. None
of the foregoing historians repeat the falsehood that Weishaupt
was a Jesuit; and neither do Barruel (1798) or Robison (1798),
even Vernon Stauffer (1916). There's no need to argue the point
further. The Illuminati contemporaries, and the later experts on
the subject, are unanimous. They get it right that Weishaupt was
only educated by the Jesuits, had never been one himself, and was
in fact pathologically hostile toward the Jesuits or Jesuitism -
anything to do with monasticism, religious absolutism, or
"superstitious folly" and obscurantism. Before and after the
suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773, his quarrels with the
Jesuit staff at the University of Ingolstadt were legendary.
Another interesting fact - as opposed to the made up ones - is
that the feeling was mutual. So much so, that the real persecuting
hand behind the suppression of the Illuminati in Bavaria descended
from the fanatic "ex"-Jesuit and court confessor, Ignaz Franck.
The latter also happened to be the head of the Munich Circle of
the Golden and Rosy Cross (Gold- und Rosenkreuzer) - thus the
rumours of a joint Rosicrucian-Jesuit plot to destroy the
Illuminati doesn't seem so far fetched.* The Rosicrucians at that
time had adhered to a zealous type of mystical conservatism. Hence
the basic dialectic of the Enlightenment was this: Philosophes +
Freemasonry + Illuminati (opposing) Jesuits + the Church +
Rosicrucians. Anything challenging this basic analysis - easily
apprehended even to a newbie of 18th century European history -
and you'd better come armed with incredibly persuasive evidence. like a head-start, consult René Le Forestier, Les Illuminés de Bavière et la Franc-Maçonnerie Allemande [Paris: 1914], Archè reprint, 2001; and Klaus Epstein, The Genesis of German Conservatism, Princeton University Press, 1966. As far as Religious Counterfeits' wishful charge of "witchcraft," one only need consult the Original Writings of Adam Weishaupt himself to realize that he had nothing but contempt for such things. The letters between members of the Order were confiscated by force, so the opinions expressed therein were genuine, candid and real. In letters to his subordinates, Weishaupt reveals himself as an extreme rationalist; a worshipper of "reason," as it was defined by the radical anti-obscurantist philosophers of the Enlightenment (viz. Montesquieu, Rousseau, d'Holbach, Helvétius, even Hume, Adam Ferguson and Adam Smith). Quote: Ingolstadt University in Bavaria had been a Jesuit Institution for many years. Weishaupt was professor of Canon Law there at Ingolstadt. He wanted to see the Jesuit Order come back into power, and eventually, he published a Plan to help the Jesuits take over the world. Weishaupt was an enemy of the Jesuits, as was the whole of the Illuminati itself. One can even faithfully describe the entire enterprise as a well-oiled propaganda machine intent on influencing public opinion against the Jesuit Order, and everything it stood for. They even had their own printers churning out copies of anti-Jesuit classics;* and their greatest recruits for the
Order were those who'd already been known as master Jesuit hunters
extraordinaire - Bode, Nicolai and Knigge. Real-View-Books Classics Reprint, 2002, p. 586. Weishaupt didn't publish "a plan to help the Jesuits take over
the World," either. Nonsense! Weishaupt had a plan alright, but it
was for the Illuminati (after having vanquished the Jesuits
completely and utterly) to be the sole arbitrator over the
direction of the entire Enlightenment: an anarchistic,
Rousseauianprimitivist, Archimedean lever for social
reorganization. Weishaupt was a narcissistic megalomaniac, and
this was the main reason why his second in command, Baron von
Knigge, had finally quit in a huff. Furthermore, Weishaupt's plan
wasn't published by him; it was published by the Bavarian
authorities after raids into the domiciles of von Zwack (1786) and
de Bassus (1787), respectively: Einige Originalschriften des Quote: This Plan is laid out in a book called "Proofs of a Conspiracy" by John Robison, in 1798, and is discussed in other books as well: "Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which in time, should govern the world! In his first fervor and high expectations, he hinted to several ex-Jesuits the probability of their recovering, under a new name, the influence which they formerly possessed, and of being again of great service to society, by directing the education of youth of distinction, now emancipated from all civil and religious prejudices." -Proofs of a Conspiracy, John Robison, pg. 59 This reveals the author's dishonesty. The quote is taken out of
context. Here's what should have been cited, pp. 58-9 (the short
excerpt above italicized, and with my own bold emphasis). This was in 1777. Weishaupt had long been scheming the
establishment of an Association or Order, which, in time, should him, but they all retracted but two. After this disappointment
Weishaupt became the implacable enemy of the their keenest resentment, and at last made him the victim of their enmity. Now, with the quote fully contextualized, the meaning is clear. Robison basically reiterated what I have already said herein. Robison's points are thus: 1) there was a struggle with the Jesuits at the University of Ingolstadt; 2) Weishaupt's liberal teaching methods had gained
him the upper-hand as far as the indoctrination of young minds; 3)
he instituted his Illuminati as a means to maintain supremacy -
though, unbelievably, as has already been pointed out by many,
Robison gets the date wrong of when the Illuminati had actually
been instituted (1777, as opposed to 1776); 4) he had solicited
some "ex"-Jesuits, enticing them with a promise of gaining a
semblance of the power which they had previously held; 5) in the
end most didn't fall for it - except for two; and 6) this caused
more acute anti-Jesuitism ("became the It is not clear who the Jesuits were that Weishaupt had tried to
recruit, but one thing is for sure: his greatest mistake was
allowing the likes of Johann Sulpitius Marquis de Cosandey
(Xenophon=alias), Joseph von Utzschneider (Hellanicus
Lesbius/Seneca), Georg Grünberger (Archytas), Vitus Renner
(Anaximander) and Georg Maximilian Johann von Dillis (Timagoras)
to join - all of whom had extensive connections with the Jesuits
and/or were priests (such as the first and the last), and were, in
the end, as defectors and denunciators, the cause of the
persecutions of the Order in Bavaria. Another quote from Robison
(a letter from Zwack to Weishaupt) which "Religious Counterfeits"
neglected to show its readers, is: "By the activity of our
Brethren [the Illuminati], the Jesuits have been kept out of all
the the Golden Alms, the Exercises, and the Conversion Box, are now
under the management of our friends" violent attack which he had published on the Jesuits and Rosycrucians [sic] by the orders of Spartacus [Weishaupt]" (Ibid., p. 161; emphasis mine). It doesn't get any more straightforward than this. The mutual antagonism was palpable, and had achieved legendary status by the time Robison wrote those words more than ten years later. *** What we have just learned is that the real facts about the Illuminati were the exact opposite of what the Jesuits=Illuminati purveyors would have you believe. By selective quoting and convenient omission, the Religious Counterfeits' have deprived their readers of the fact that Robison had an opinion (based upon primary documents and contemporary knowledge) which was in complete contradiction to that of their own. This is a favorite tactic of the really bad conspiracy theorists; whole volumes - an entire house of cards - are built upon this ruse. Eric Jon Phelps utilizes the same technique. In his Vatican
Assassins (p. 225), for instance, he ostensibly quotes from Nesta
Webster. However, the excerpt omits some crucial remarks, which,
if they had been left in, would have challenged his theories, even
to the point of having the opposite desired effect. What follows
is a side-by-side comparison of the relevant material. On the left
as it appears in Webster's Secret Societies & Subversive Movements [1924], A&B Vatican Assassins, Second Edition, 2004, p. 225: Publishers Group, 1998, pp. 196-7: That Weishaupt was not the originator of the system he named
Illuminism will be already apparent to every reader of the present
work… How did these Oriental methods penetrate to the Bavarian
professor? According to certain writers, through the Jesuits. The
fact that Weishaupt had been brought up by this Order has provided
the enemies of the Jesuits with the argument that they were the
secret inspirers of the Illuminati. Mr. Gould, indeed, has
attributed most of the errors of the latter to this source;
Weishaupt, he writes, incurred "the implacable enmity of the
Jesuits, to whose intrigues he was incessantly exposed." In
reality "That Weishaupt was not the originator of the system he named 'Illuminism' will be already apparent to every reader of the present work . . . How did these Oriental methods penetrate to the Bavarian professor? According to certain writers, through the Jesuits. The fact that Weishaupt had been brought up by this Order has provided the enemies of the Jesuits with the argument that they were the secret inspirers of the Illuminati . . . That Weishaupt did, however, draw to a certain extent on Jesuit methods of training is recognized even by Barruel, himself a Jesuit [and the most influential historian of the French Revolution], who, quoting Mirabeau, says that Weishaupt, 'admired above all those laws, that regime of the Jesuits, which, under one head [the Jesuit General], made men dispersed over the universe tend towards the same goal . . . ' " [Emphasis added (by Phelps)] That Weishaupt did, however, draw to a certain extent on Jesuit
methods of training is recognized even by Barruel, himself a
Jesuit, who, quoting Mirabeau, says that Weishaupt "admired above
all those laws, that régime of the Jesuits, which, under one head,
made men dispersed over the universe tend towards the same goal;
he felt that one could imitate their [Emphasis mine] What a candid writer would do in a situation like this would be to quote the entirety of the excerpt. If the author's theory is really all it's cracked up to be, they should easily be able to reason away the appearance of these contradictory views. Instead, Phelps twists the quote
to suit his own agenda: Webster was saying the exact opposite to
what Phelps had attempted to insinuate. Further, Webster was no
fool. She intelligently and correctly assessed the situation: In all these questions it is necessary to seek a motive. I have
no personal interest in defending the Jesuits, but I ask: what
motive could the Jesuits have in forming or supporting a
conspiracy directed against all thrones and altars? It has been
answered me that the Jesuits at this period cared nothing for
thrones and altars, but only for temporal power; yet--even
accepting this unwarrantable hypothesis--how was this power to be
exercised except through thrones and altars? Was it not through
princes and the Church that the Jesuits had been able to bring
their influence to bear on affairs of state? In an irreligious
Republic, as events afterwards proved, the power of the whole
clergy was bound to be destroyed. The truth is then, that, far
from abetting the Illuminati, the Jesuits were resisting the tide of revolution. Weishaupt indeed, as we know, detested the Jesuits, and took from them only certain methods of discipline, of ensuring obedience or of acquiring influence over the minds of his disciples; his aims were entirely different. (Webster, op. cit., pp. 198-9; emphasis mine) This is what you call a measured and rational summation. It
conforms to the historical facts in every conceivable way. Unlike
the "Religious Counterfeits" and Phelps, Webster had read the
Original Writings of the Illuminati. And, as I've said before,
these writings - confiscated against their will - make it clear
that Illuminati intrigue was constantly being directed against
the, incalculably-hated, Sons of Loyola. Ironically, in this
respect, Phelps et al. are brothers in arms with Weishaupt, the
Illuminati, radical Freemasonry, and especially the later 19th
century occult movement of Theosophy. (Madame Blavatsky's modus
operandi was in *** The Stratagems of Weishaupt, Knigge, Nicolai, and Bode Opposition to the Jesuits was a central issue for many of the
Masonic subgroupings; the Rosicrucians had arisen "almost as a
mirror image of the Jesuit Order"; and Adam Weishaupt had
conceived the Order of Illuminati as an anti-Jesuit organization
modeled upon Jesuitical methods and organizational forms. The
Jesuits responded in kind: it was widely believed that the
suppression of the Illuminati in Bavaria was instigated by them. On 13 March, 1778, Adam Weishaupt (Spartacus) wrote a letter to
Maximilian Balthasar Ludwig Edler von Merz (Tiberius), one of the
five original members of the Illuminati and an Areopagite. One
section reads: "We have … in Munich our own printer. It is from
there that you'll soon receive, printed at our expense, the
Relatio de strategmatis et sophismatis Polchis S. I. by Alphonsus
de Vargas" (Einige Originalschriften des That is, Relatio ad Reges et Principes Christianos De Stratagematis et Sophismatis politicis Societatis Jesu ad Monarchiam orbis terrarum sibi confirmandam [A Report to the Christian Kings and Princes on the Stratagems and Political Sophisms of the Jesuits For World
Domination]; or, as Juan Antonio Llorente has translated its
title, An Exposition made by Alphonsa de Vargas to the Christian
Kings and Princes, of the First printed at Rome in 1636, Alphonsus de Vargas was one of the pseudonyms of Caspar Schoppe [or Gaspar Scioppius] (1576-1649); and his above mentioned work was recommended reading for all Illuminati initiates. By 1778, Schoppe's Stratagems and Political Sophisms of the Jesuits was a classic and a much soughtafter work of anti-Jesuitism. Weishaupt, by printing a new edition at the expense of the Illuminati, had put into motion one of the Illuminati's own Strategmatis: the Jesuits must be discredited, exposed, hunted and driven out. Weishaupt's personal war with the Society of Jesus had already begun at Ingolstadt University. Now, with the Illuminati in full operation, the growing assets of the Order could be put to use. The Kassel Strict Observance Lodge 'Zum gekrönten Löwen' [of the Crowned Lion] medallion 1743 In July, 1780, the Illuminati had managed to insinuate its most
zealous initiate thus far: Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Baron von
Knigge (1752 Bredenbeck, Germany - 1796 Bremen, Germany). Knigge
(Philo Freemasonry at the earliest possible age. The Kassel Strict
Observance Lodge 'Zum gekrönten Löwen' [of the Crowned Lion]
accepted him into the fold in 1772, and in 1779 he became a knight
of the rite of Strict Observance (alias, 'Eques a Cygno' [Knight
of the Swan]). During his formative Masonic years before joining
the Illuminati, Knigge had become acquainted with Mason and
alchemist, Marburg professor Friedrich Joseph Wilhelm Schröder
(1733-78). Schröder imbued him with enthusiasm for the occult
sciences. On Schröder, Knigge had said: "What man would not have
been fired with zeal for theosophy, magic, and alchymy, in the
company of Scroeder [sic]? These were the mysteries of the Strict
Observance, in which I was a firm believer, and practised all the
evocations of spirits, and other occult ceremonies of the Order!"
(In George Oliver, The Historical Landmarks and Other Evidences of 1867), p. 53 n. 79; cf. Le Forestier, op. cit., p. 210 and Augustin Barruel, op.cit., p. 621.) Through his correspondences with Johann Georg Wendelstadt - a future high-ranking member of the Illuminati himself,* and also a member of the Strict Observance - it is clear that in 1778/79 Knigge was obsessed with research into alchemy and was dedicated to chasing down old manuscripts in hopes of finding the key to transmuting dross into gold - an apprentice of the Great Work. Having no luck on his own, in August 1778 he decided upon applying for membership into the Golden and Rosy Cross. Schröder was well-connected with the Rosicrucian Order (probably a member) and served as a liaison. Knigge was given a list of preliminary questions for potential candidates. Schröder had assured his friend that, soon, at the proper place and time, Knigge would meet with a member and take the required entry exam. The Golden and Rosy Cross, however, rejected his application and,
according to Le Forestier, "he would have to be content with
remaining a member of the Strict Observance" (p. 211). Baron von Knigge Knigge resented the deception of the Rosicrucians, renounced his foolish reveries in alchemy, and was thenceforth determined to radically reform Freemasonry. He condemned the occult sciences to his brother Masons, loudly protested against would-be gold-makers, and attempted to have any mention of alchemy banned within the Strict Observance. Seeking another route - as far away from the occult arts as he could it was at this time that he developed a primitivist Utopian (socialist) worldview, which, unbeknownst to him at the time, was similar to the ideology of Adam Weishaupt. As historian G. P. Gooch had put it: "The dream of founding a new Order had taken root in his mind; but when he was told that such an Order was already in existence, he asked to be initiated, and brought a number of disillusioned Masons with him" (Studies in German History, London, 1948, p. 66). Knigge's insinuator was Constantin Marchese di Costanzo (Diomedes), a member of the Illuminati's Areopagites. Weishaupt was well-pleased with the recruitment of Knigge, who had plenty of connections not only in Freemasonry but within the Hanau court as well. Soon, Weishaupt was personally corresponding with his rising star, even getting a lesson or two on the intrigues and rituals of modern Freemasonry (Knigge subsequently restructured the higher grades of the Illuminati to better incorporate certain features of Masonic nomenclature). In wasn't long after that Weishaupt encouraged Knigge - and supplied him with the materials - to publish a series of articles on the intrigues of the Jesuits. In March 1781, three articles by Knigge were printed in the journal of the respected Göttingen professor August Ludwig Schlözer (1735-1809). Volumes 8 and 9 of A.L. Schlözer's Briefwechsel meist historischen und politischen Inhalts included the articles from Knigge; the most important of which, from the standpoint of Weishaupt, was
Tentatives des ex-Jésuites pour rétablir en Bavière la Bavaria]. It admonished the Elector of Bavaria, Karl Theodor to
open his eyes toward the machinations of the Jesuits, especially
the intrigue at Ingolstadt University. Three extensive documents
were included as proof. There was a report signed by four
Ingolstadt professors in the faculty of theology, protesting
against the pretensions of ex-Jesuit Benedict Stattler (1728-97),
who, by then, was already an outspoken enemy of the Illuminati.
The professors decried the fact that Stattler, who should have
been thrown out after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, was
soon after appointed repetitor and in 1780, actually promoted to
professor of dogmatics; that the ex-Jesuits now had a total of
seven professors on the Ingolstadt faculty when before the
suppression of the Order, they had had only three! The next
attached-document contained another sharp attack against the
Jesuitism of Stattler, specifically mentioning the efforts of
Weishaupt and professor Stehler to combat and maneuver against it.
And the last document claimed that the "Jesuits sought to
reestablish their Novitiate under another name and have
propagandized in the monasteries" (Le Forestier, p. 222-3). At the
behest of Weishaupt and the Illuminati, Knigge wrote two more
pamphlets which were published in 1781: Avertissement aux princes
allemands, pour les mettre en garde contre l'esprit et le poignard
des Jésuites [A Warning to the German Princes to guard against the
spirit and dagger of the Jesuits] and Ueber Jesuiten, give the writings more weight, in the latter publication Knigge had used a pseudonym: Joseph Aloys Maier, a supposed ex-member of the Jesuits. Ueber Jesuiten, Freymaurer was composed of three chapters. The first contained "remarks on the perverse and dangerous principles of the former Society of Jesus," including a sketch of its history and an outline of its members. The second chapter contained a letter on the profane teachings of the Freemasons, and attributed to a former member. The last contained research on the veracity and supposed authenticity of the German Golden and Rosy Cross. The chapter on the Jesuits was culled from documents provided to Knigge by the Illuminati; eleven pamphlets in all, one of which was Louis-René de Caradeuc de La Chalotais' 1762 report to the Parlement de Rennes which was the catalyst for the 1764 expulsion of the Jesuits in France. Knigge was being used by the hierarchy of the Illuminati. He had significant skills as a writer already, and was thus the perfect choice to pen and publish the anti-Jesuitical screeds: for if he wanted to gain the trust of his new "brotherhood," he'd better do as he was told. Not only had Knigge written against the enemies of the Illuminati, but he blossomed into the greatest recruiter for the Order (some 500 members, by his own account), while personally reorganizing the system of degrees. For all his efforts - a veritable superstar compared to everyone else - Weishaupt's only reward was to constantly talk about him behind his back. Weishaupt was
obviously threatened by Knigge's popularity within the Order, and
by 1783 their mutual disdain had finally come to a head. Two
months before Knigge resigned in disgust, he wrote a letter to
Illuminatus Franz Xaver von Zwack (Cato) on February 25, 1783. His
frustration is palpable; his threats serious: 1. That I let the Jesuits and the Rosicrucians know who is persecuting them; 2. That I reveal, if only to a few people, the small, insignificant origin of the Order; 3. That I prove to them, by my designs, that I have established part of the degrees myself; 4. That I tell them how, after what I have done for the cause, I must endure mistreatment; 5. That I make known to them the Jesuitical character of the man who perhaps leads us all by the nose, makes use of us for his ambitious schemes, while we sacrifice all the time as often as his obstinacy requires; perhaps what is to fear from such a man, and such a machine that may or may not be hiding Jesuits; 6. That I give assurance to those searching for secrets to expect nothing; 7. That I reveal the secret principles of the General [Weishaupt] to whom religion is overrated; 8. That I discovered how much this work is new and the weak bases upon which it relies; 9. That I draw the attention of the Lodges to a hidden Association behind which lies the Illuminati; 10. 11. That I align myself anew with Princes and Freemasons; Furthermore, that I find a more solid plan, less selfish, more enlightened, based entirely upon honesty and liberty; that I initiate the best minds with whom I am still acquainted; that in every area I'll secretly initiate recruits [already] insinuated by the Illuminati, so that thereafter I would be well-informed; 12. That even in Greece [Bavaria] I would give information to certain people, in addition to disclosing the founder and all the rest; 13. That I sound the alarm in Rome [Vienna] through the intermediaries of Princes, to Numenius and the Rosicrucians! Threat #5 is probably tantalizing to the Jesuits=Illuminati crowd. So be it; at least I didn't suppress it. I offer but one observation: paranoia is the one common denominator of any secret society worth its salt! Admittedly, in terms of despotism and totalitarian proclivities, Weishaupt had out-Jesuited the Jesuits. Number thirteen is the most significant. The Rosicrucians - who had already openly declared war on the Illuminati - were perhaps even more detested than the Jesuits. Vienna was one of their strongholds. Numenius (Count Franz Joseph von Kolowrat-Liebensteinsky) was a recent recruit in the Illuminati; was well-connected with the Imperial court; and had been entangled with the entire milieu of Viennese Rosicrucianism. And Weishaupt, with trademark subterfuge, made it his pet project to try and cure the noble of his mystical inclinations. To threaten to reveal the secrets of the Illuminati to the Rosicrucians was more serious than spilling the beans to Jesuits. *** Christoph Friedrich Nicolai (Lucianus): Novice, March 1782; Illuminatus Minor, April 1782; Regent and Prefect of Berlin, 1784 Another Illuminatus, Christoph Friedrich Nicolai (1733-1811),
picked up where Knigge left off; the latter had even insinuated
the former into the Illuminati in March 1782. As an introduction,
here's a brief sketch from Klaus Epstein (op cit., p. 40; emphasis
mine): Nicolai had of course been the longtime editor of the ADB
(Allgemeine Deutsche Bibliothek), extant from 17651806. A mammoth
undertaking, this publication functioned as the heart of the
German/Prussian Enlightenment itself. For forty years the ADB
reviewed and critiqued nearly the entire prose output of the time.
Nicolai seemed to be even-handed in most areas, except for two:
critical philosophy and matters relating to Catholicism. On these
two points Nicolai decreed the ADB take an unmitigated ideological
stance. In correspondence with Albrecht Georg Walch about the
latter's intention on reviewing for the ADB some new books
originating in Catholic Würzburg, for instance, Nicolai had
admonished: "we must view matters from a Protestant rather than a
Catholic perspective." He reminded Walsh of the "incredible
stupidity that still prevails among Catholics"; and while
remarking on a new book by Catholic historian Michael Ignatz
Schmidt (1736-1794), in which he judged the Reformation "in a most
irresponsible manner," Nicolai remarked, "[t]his is unforgivable
... and we Protestants must contradict such things, so that
prejudices are not once again introduced in place of the truth"
(in Pamela Eve Selwyn, Everyday Life in the German In the exact time frame of Nicolai's insinuation into the
Illuminati (early 1782), he had also "started the campaign of the
Berlin Enlighteners against what they perceived as the Catholic
threat against the Enlightenment,"* by publishing his
pseudo-historical book on the Knights Templar: Versuch über die and the Secret of the Order; with a Dissertation on the Origins
of Freemasonry]. It included the oft-claimed Templar origins of
Freemasonry as well as endorsing the then-prevailing
anti-Catholic, Masonic theory that Jesuits had tampered with the
high degrees of Freemasonry (ala the Young Pretender, the
Jacobites, Chevalier Ramsay, the "Scottish" degrees or Ecossais
Lodges, and the "Unknown Superiors" of the Templarobsessed Rite of
Strict Observance). Johan Van Der Zande, Lexington Books, 2000, p. 67n.5 In turn, Nicolai's collaborators at the popular Berlinische Monatsschrift [Berlin Monthly Journal] started publishing material against "crypto-Catholics" around 1784. "The argument," writes Masonic historian Alain Bernheim, 33°, "began with the alleged secret influence of the Jesuits' Order upon protestant circles and developed in attributing them the salvation of the Strict Observance by the Clerics. The Monatsschrift was foremost in the story together with Nicolai and Bode." Also, in January 1785, the Monatsschrift published an attack against the crypto-Jesuitism of a high-degree member of the Strict Observance, Lutheran pastor Johann August Starck. It was a veiled attack - for those in the know - referring to him as "a theologian wellknown for his writings, about whom it is said almost openly that he is not only affiliated to the Jesuits but actually belongs to the Jesuits of the fourth class who must take special vows in order to be sent on special missions" (Bernheim, op. cit.) The Berlinische Monatsschrift was the official organ of the
secret society known as the Berlin Wednesday Society
('Mittwochsgesellschaft'; 1783-98) internally referred to as the
Society of Friends of Enlightenment ('Gesellschaft der Freunde der
Aufklärung'). Nicolai was one of the twelve founding members of
the society, which soon included a few other Illuminati (von
Leuchsenring and von Goeckingk), along with the most famous names
of the Berlin Enlightenment. Their goal was to fight obscurantism
- viz. theocracy, Jesuitism, Rosicrucianism, orthodoxy, etc. - and
effect public policy in favour of the rationalist ideals of the The Berlinische Monatsschrift's most successful campaign against
the so-called crypto-Jesuits began in its March 1788 issue with
the publication of some diaries by Charlotte von der Recke.
Supposedly, she was a former co-Mason in the Egyptian rite of
Count Cagliostro. Recke accused Cagliostro of being a "dangerous
Jesuit" who had cast his mystic spell on the credulous. Later, the
diaries were published in Russian "with a preface by the German
editor, Nicolai, who reasserted and supported the author's thesis"
(Raffaella soon published another book from Recke, this time for his
insatiable readership in Germany. The Berlin Enlightenment's
favorite whipping-boy, Starck, was her newfound enemy.* The book
was excerpted in installments (1788-9) in the Berlinische
Monatsschrift. According to Raffaella Faggionato, Recke accused
the mystic Mason of "allegedly planning a Catholic Jesuit
restoration hidden beneath the mystical and magical show of the
clerico-Templar doctrine that he was propagating." (Ibid.) literature then extant; his Der Triumph der Philosophie im 18. Jahrhundert [The Triumph of Philosophy in the 18th Century] (2 vols., Germantown, 1803). *** Johann Joachim Christoph Bode (Aemilius/Winefried): Initiated into Freemasonry at the Hamburg Lodge ‘Absalom’ in 1764; member of the Strict Observance (alias “a Lilio convallium”); 1782-86, 'Absalom' Master of the Chair; Illuminatus minor, 1782; Illuminatus major, 1783; Upper Saxony Provincial, 1784; 1785-93, the defacto head of the Illuminati The most important member of the Illuminati that Knigge had
personally recruited - at the famous Congress of Wilhelmsbad, in
the summer of 1782 - was Johann Joachim Christoph Bode
(1730-1793). With a take-no-prisoners attitude, J. J. C. Bode was
one of the most respected Freemasons in all of Germany and even
more of a zealous rationalist than Weishaupt himself. Bode was
already completely obsessed with discovering hidden Jesuits in
Masonry, and would soon warn his Superiors about the danger
lurking within. "Brother Bode," writes René Le Forestier, And warn he did; in a long manuscript addressed to the Superiors of the Strict Observance on September 19, 1780. Le Forestier, who read the circular in full, gives three examples (p. 361n.2) of the type of arguments Bode had utilized: 1) That Hiram Abiff's murderers - two rebels - "symbolize the Roman Catholic hierarchy destroyed by Luther and Calvin"; 2) "The Sprig of Acacia, so dear to Freemasons, looks exactly like the sign of the Bishop" (huh?); and that 3) Baron von Hund (the founder of the Strict Observance) had told the tale of being received into an already extant Masonic Templarism by an Eques a Penna Rubra [Knight of the Red Feather] in the 1740s, but was sworn to conceal his true name. The third was further elaborated upon. Bode said he had come across an historical episode which backed up his "hidden Jesuits behind Templar Masonry" theory. While reading History of the Jesuits (1760), by his friend Hardenberg, he came across a story about some Jesuit prisoners captured after a battle in 1759. Apparently, one of them wore a helmet adorned with a red feather, and "a red Hussar costume with loose sleeves with a chain around his neck. Bode concludes without hesitation that the Jesuit prisoner, father Lenanez, was in fact the Eques a Penna Rubra mentioned by Hund; that what he was wearing during combat was the collar of the Strict Observance as well as the coat of a Prefect [a grade within the rite]; and that the author had mistakenly confused the outfit with the vestments of a Hussar" (ibid.) The first two points seem like gibberish, and hardly even imaginative. The third, however, must surely have piqued the curiosity of his fellow Jesuit paranoiacs. It strikes to the heart of the mystery. The gist of the tale is this: In the 1750s Baron von Hund
started advertising a new rite amongst his Masonic brethren. He
claimed it descended directly from the Knights Templar. When
pressed for further details, he finally revealed that while in
Paris in the early 1740s, he was initiated into some higher
degrees - a secret order of Templars - and dubbed a Chevalier
Templier. The master initiator was an "Unknown Superior," who had
only been identified to him as 'Knight of the Red Feather.' He
further elaborated that, shortly after the ceremony, he was
brought before none other than Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie
Prince Charlie; the Young Pretender) himself, whom he assumed was
also an "Unknown Superior" of the Order. All the elements are
present from the start for an imaginative anti-Catholic theorist
to run amuck: (Catholic) Jacobites, (Catholic) Stuart pretenders,
(Catholic) Knights Templar, (Catholic) Unknown Superiors - oh my!
The one thing that nagged at everyone, however, was the identity
of the master string-puller himself, this Knight of the Red
Feather. Everyone had a crack at it - it was a favorite pastime -
and Bode was but one in a long line of hypothesizers. While Bode
was unsurprisingly looking for a Jesuit, Michael Baigent and
Richard Leigh, still chasing the mystery some 200 years later,
believe they have cracked the case. In called 'Stella Templum'," the Knight of the Red Feather, they
claim, was identified in the heretofore unknown archives as one
Alexander Montgomery. Bode was relentless in his efforts to warn
his Masonic brothers of Jesuits concealed in Masonry. When Knigge
approached him at the Wilhelmsbad Congress as a potential recruit,
Bode stipulated a condition that Knigge prove the Order of the
Illuminati were the implacable enemies of the Jesuits; he also
requested permission to print and distribute some of his materials
on Jesuitry in Masonry to the brethren of the Order own discreet inquiries into the Illuminati and was impressed with
what he'd heard; he didn't need much convincing: the grade of
Illuminatus Dirigens* was read in full, along with passages from
Knigge's abovementioned 1781 pamphlet, Ueber Jesuiten, Freymaurer
und deutsche Rosencreutzer (see Le Forestier, op. cit., p. 370 property and government, nationalism and patriotism; and the despotism of throne and altar. Another example of Bode's zealous efforts to rid Masonry of Jesuitism (superstition and mysticism) was when he had sent one of his signature manifestos to the heads of the 1787 Masonic convention in Paris, convoked by the notorious 'Philalèthes.' That act, along with his trip to Paris in the summer, would ultimately win for the Illuminati some prized members of the powerful Paris Lodge ‘Les Amis Réunis,’ and a secret Illuminati cell in France - the details of which can be read in my forthcoming book. Conculsion The roll-call of "Jesuit hunters" within the Illuminati would be
long indeed, if I were to list and recount the actions of them
all. A good number of Viennese Illuminati, for instance, were
well-known polemicists against the Sons of Loyola; and they were
some of the most talented satirists and poets of the
Enlightenment. But this article was not meant to be exhaustive. I
merely felt that, given the rampant twisting of history by some
conspiracy theorists, this story desperately needed to be told. If
you're searching for secret Jesuitical influence during the 18th
Century, it's not that difficult to find. My feeling is that some
of the concerns about Templar-masonry do seem warranted. The
sudden appearance of Templar and Scottish-Jacobite-Stuart
allegiance among Masonic aristocrats during the 1740s and 50s has
the smell of a phenomenon from without; and the Jesuits and the
Vatican - it is pretty obvious - would have had the most to gain
from the introduction of such beliefs. That the Jesuits had
infiltrated the Golden and Rosy Cross, there is no doubt. The
Jesuit court confessor to the Bavarian Elector Karl Theodor, the
hated and detested Ignaz Franck, as mentioned above, was the head
of the Munich Rosicrucian Circle. The alliance between the
Rosicrucians and the Jesuits during the 18th Century is not
difficult to spot once you dig a bit under the surface; and I
can't help but marvel at how incredibly ironic that is. For when
the original Rosicrucian manifestos appeared on the scene in 1614,
a prominent theme was denunciation of the Jesuits. According to
the late Frances Yates, "the illuminated wisdom of the Fama …
makes strongly anti-Jesuit remarks … [and] is setting forth an
alternative to the Jesuit Order." The general "intention is
clear," she says, an "intention of associating the first
Rosicrucian manifesto with anti-Jesuit propaganda" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://zaidpub.com/2014/05/26/may-the-force-not-be-with-you-by-dr-omar/ The phenomena of the Zio-Fascism cum Bolshevik ethos and the Palestinian saga are stage center and will remain so till Armageddon, which many feel is not afar off. With this in mind, we will now explore historically validated methods that may embarrass some readers who will realize their ignorance or learn of their vicarious cooperation with the organized wickedness of the Zionist ponerocracy. Power is required to enact the outrageous schemes of coercion that control global wealth and command the utilitarian will of earth’s inhabitants. So let us look at the little known historicity of the atavistic nemesis. It may surprise some readers that most Jews are not Zionists and many have little love for Israelis. But just as citizens rush to a flag they do not comprehend, the State of Israel draws support from Jews in general and most have no idea that Zionist leaders are either manic disciples of Illuminati Magi who purposely misguide them, or outright atheists. Judaism, in its undefiled form as practiced by devout descendants of Isaac is actually closer to Islam than the present Christian apostasy. Nevertheless, the disparity between Zionism and Judaism is publicly belied by Israel’s Supreme Court building as shown previously. Not far distant is Dorothy de Rothschild’s Grove and in its centre is the Obelisk (phallus) of Isis or Ashteroth. The prophet Jeremiah (pbuh) had much to say about Christmas and such groves in his book because, without exception, groves were traditionally set aside for the worship of the ‘Queen of Heaven’ (originally Semiramis) and Zionists certainly lust after this lady’s favor and purse, as does the Vatican. The reader will also begin, I pray, to understand cozy relations governments have with Organized Crime, especially the Jewish mob. The CIA has facilitated and profited from illicit drug trafficking for decades after taking over trade routes established by the British and French governments in Indo-China. Opium profits vis-à-vis the British East India Co. have endowed the ‘Skull & Bones’ fraternity at Yale since 1830, as well as Dr. Coleman’s Committee of 300. And a few of the more astute WWII buffs know that the ‘Empire of the Sun’ had a major cocaine plantation on Iwo Jima run by the Yakuza. Where do ‘Zionists’ fit in this mania? Well, just as Ezekiel dug through Temple Foundations (Ezekiel 8: 7-18) to enter cult caverns to see Kabbalists at work in Satanic cellars, so must historians seeking truth. I am greatly relieved in my efforts by those who have gone before me, some of whom are Jews whose families and blood authored the Yiddish Axiom quoted above. Facts on the Skull & Bones Fraternity @ Yale University Founded & endowed by General William H. Russell who was initiated into the Illuminati and Thule Cults in Germany. General Russell’s Family became wealthy via trade in Opium with the East India Company; parent Co. of the 300 Olympian families. At that time in America, Freemasons were in disgrace and disrepute over the murder of Captain William Morgan who published a volume exposing their secrets. Hence, Gen. Russell avoided the Freemasonic appellation but dressed his fraternity with their regalia and ritual. Hence, the continued pretense allows the Bush Clan to deny Masonic affiliation. Their windowless fraternity house is named ‘The Tomb’ / Their Fraternal Motto is ‘New World Order’ / Their Logo is the ‘Skull & Bones’ (Jolly Roger) of Hitler’s Thule Society / The Interior decor boasts swastikas, pirate flags, skulls, coffins, & bones.

variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one
master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But
most of them have no knowledge. (Al’Qur’an; XXXIX: 29) Here the Koran clearly indicates that Iblis has sedulously authored numerous oddball factions. Among these was early 17th century Shabbataism under the Kabbalist Bal Shem, Zabbetai Zvi, which later became 18th century Frankism which morphed to 19th century Zionism, and then to 20th century Israelitism as a vehicle to help usher New World Orderism (Globalism). Frankists established annual orgies at the Feast of Purim, practiced wife swapping throughout the year and generally had a great time reforming the pliant morals of European nobility while infiltrating them. The original motto of the psychotic Mr. Zvi was: “Praise be He (Jehovah) Who permits the forbidden”, which made him an exemplary Apostle of Rasputin’s creed and a disciple of the Alamut cult spawned by the work of Abdul ibn Maymun who fathered the Fatimid farce. The goal of 18th century prescient Zionists cum Baal worshipers was to overturn Hebrew morality along with goyim decency and thereby negate both Torah and Bible while elevating the atavistic promiscuity of ancient fertility magick. This was a practical stepping stone towards the Messianic Age of the libertine chaos that marked the Weimar Republic and which finally hit American streets during Prohibition and later when Beatles, Rolling Stones and sundry Madonna sex goddesses emigrated. Their Purim escapade was actually a perversion of the Hebrew Feast of Jubilees, a feast that was never celebrated because Israel, by everyone’s account, had never kept Covenant with G-d for a consecutive fifty years. This ‘Frankist Spring’ occurred during the Encyclopedist mania of Rousseau Romanticism and Voltaire Illuminism which presaged the French Revolution whose Jacobin (Catholic) ‘White Terror’ was the model for Stalin’s ‘Red Terror’ as well as for the Maos and Pol Pots of Twentieth Century Blitzkrieg-Barbarism. The main obstacle Frankists confronted was that authentic Jews were a stubborn lot that refused to cooperate with the hedonism of these permissive choleric rabbis. Eventually, after Napoleon’s Imperial romp to retore the temporal reign of the ostensibly out-lawed Jesuits, Frankists, along with Weishaupt intellectuals and the moneyed Jews of Frankfurt, initiated programs to persuade Europa’s pseudo-Christians to make their continent as intolerable as possible for devout Jews. Unfortunately, it really is that simple, but I’ll return to this selective ethnic discomfiture later. Presently, I want to address the reality of sexual magick as it is central to the thesis of goddess worship, Christmas parties, and ancient fertility cults from whence the rubbish of these accretions was taken. Al’Qur’an II:101 has this to say on the matter at hand: And even now, when there has come to them [the Jews] an apostle
from God [Mohammad], confirming the truth already in their
possession, some of those who were granted revelation aforetime
cast the divine writ behind their backs as though unaware of what
it says, and follow instead that which the evil ones used to
practice during Solomon’s reign ― for it was not Solomon who
denied the truth, but those evil ones denied it by teaching people
sorcery; and they follow that which has come down through the two
angels [or kings as per Ibn Abas] in Babylon, Harut and Marut ―
although these two never taught it to anyone without first
declaring, “We are but a temptation to evil: do not then, deny
God’s truth!” And they learn from these two how to create discord
between a man and his wife; but whereas they can harm none thereby
save by God’s leave, they acquire a knowledge that only harms
themselves and does not benefit them ― although they know, indeed,
that he who acquires this knowledge shall have no good in the life
to come. For vile indeed is that art for which they have sold
their own selves ― had they but known it. – (The Message of the
Qur’an, Trans. By Mohd Asad) Celebratory promiscuity is historically central to rituals that inspire social engineering policies, especially sodomy (homo or heterosexual); not to mention the coercive effects of human sacrifice used to terrify any populace into submission (see: Trinity). Though I’ve oversimplified the following equations with acrobatic equivalents, they are, nevertheless, an accurate representation of Cain’s Creed: the first ‘god-man’ on earth to ‘rule over sin’ in lands east of Eden, as per Moses in Genesis 4: 1–16.

Plutocratic Kleptocrats and Megalomaniacs such as Jesuits et alia. Although I was admitted to the 33’rd degree in 1900, not until
1912 were my suspicions confirmed. I speak of my belief that
behind the frivolities and conviviality’s of our greatest
institution (Freemasonry), lay in truth a secret ineffable and
miraculous, potent to control the ‘Forces of Nature’ [the
objective of Baal Worship], and not only to make men brethren, but
make them ‘Divine’. But at the time I speak of, a man came to me,
a man of those mysterious masters of esoteric Freemasonry, who are
alike its eyes and its brains, and who exist in its most unknown,
often, {even to its acknowledged chiefs} … This man had been
watching my occult career for some years, and deemed me now worthy
to partake of the Greater Mysteries.” The extent of the unrecognized veil over Hidden Hands of Iblissian regency is readily apparent in this reprobate’s reverie. Mr. Crowley managed to get three of his wives committed to insane asylums after brief but magickally-inspired honeymoons. The respected historian, Francis King, documents evidence that the OTO was/is the corporate body “ultimately responsible for the final selection of’ all candidates to be made Freemasons in England.” OTO’s claim to this exalted auspice is: “Its Mastery of Sexual Magick, and thus all of the secrets of nature symbolized by Freemasonry” as quoted from the OTO Journal written by Theodor Reuss, British Spy and their Grand Master in 1902. Dear reader, bearing in mind the previous chapter on Goats and Baal worship, these are facts that are also supported as cited in Al’Torat and Al’Qur’an. These men were not in the business of peddling fantasy for comic books but of capturing jinn and the imaginations of people like lord Northampton and other major Luciferian cronies in positions of power and influence as traditional targets for the masterful Jesuit subversion, recently endorsed by even Judge Napolitano. I submit therefore, in light of previous essays and mountains of scholarly evidence, that “Sexual Magick” is ‘the most cherished way’ of Pharaoh’s religion as cited in Al’Qur’an ( S. 20:56-73). It is symbolized by the ‘Cross’, the Labrum of Constantine, and the phallic Egyptian ‘Ankh’ held by every Queen as depicted on the tombs of Egypt. Several hieroglyphs even have Pharaoh consuming his own semen to capture it’s life ‘force’, and Alexandrian Christian Gnostics are known to have celebrated this as the ‘body and blood’ of Jesus as the real communion rite, only hinted at in New Testament interpolations. Even the Swastika or saintly ‘Halo’ represents the carnal intercourse or ‘fire wheel’ of divine conjugation with mother earth, a combination that endows whoever controls the union with power (horns) over the ‘Forces of Nature’ as cited by revered Masonic authors and numerous texts on magick. The Nazis owed their ascendency to this magick and the inner rings of this buggered oligarchy hosted scads of Satanists. The real power of sexual union has to do with the unity, fidelity and purity that ushers divine guidance during the pillow talk following the fanna of sexual ecstasy. The perversions cited above, however, clearly demonstrate that Pharaoh’s fascist deviancy is neither dead nor merely some marginalized neo-nuanced nuisance reserved for skinhead skirtoids. Examine NATO’s logo in Brussels and you will see the swastika cleverly disguised. Even brother Osama owed his fame to partnerships directly related to this icon, as the influence of its occult regency among neo-cons and Jesuits gave rise to Al Qaeda’s predecessors and current suppliers of jihadist fodder: the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, discussed in later chapters. Hollywood and Bollywood celebrations of the libertine ‘magi morality’ that marked the Roman Empire’s dualism is exhibited by the abundance of wild sirens, sodomites and profligates. Even ancient Shakti’s Matriarchal Dravidian culture was an elective polyandrous structure that lends credence to theories regarding their migration to Easter Island. The unrestrained prurience exhibited by today’s ‘slut walkers’, ‘twerkers’, Hollywood Madams and ‘hip hop hoes’ along with ever so sensitive ‘boy-men’ and titillating sodomites only serves to erode society’s most fundamental unit, the heterosexual patriarchal family. The subversion is unmistakably recorded in the Protocols of Zion (authored by Jesuits, not Jews) and is specifically under Jewish auspice, Zionist and not. All statistics indicate a steady global decline in traditional heterosexual households wherever this sub-culture encroaches, but most especially in the USA which was targeted for pan-socialism by Papists who declared war on America over a century ago. Observe this indictment’s veracity by reading the following two citations very carefully and review the book, Lucifer’s Lodge by William H. Kennedy which describes Sexual Perversion, Luciferianism, and Satanic Ritual within the Catholic Hierarchy, as well as “Demonology At The Heart of Sexual Perversion Among Vatican Priests,” by Greg Szymanski, JD Jan 4, 2009 (http://www.arcticbeacon.com/greg/category/headlines/page/36/) Ten years after the creation of the Knights of Columbus in 1882 AD, Pope Leo XIII declared the following in an Encyclical. Students of history will note the half-truths plainly stated to misguide the less well read: The American Republic under Protestant rulers is with the worst
enemies of the Church, where security is offered; this Republic
having seized upon the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus, a
Catholic, and usurped the authority and jurisdiction of the
supreme head of the church, the United States is filled with
obstinate heretics… The United States has been filled with books
containing the most flagrant heresies of which the Protestant
version of the Bible is chief. And not content with adopting its
false and impious doctrines, proselyting has been resorted to, to
turn the Catholics from the one true Church. The whole Roman
Catholic hierarchy and priesthood of the world have been deprived
of their livings by the Protestant heretics of America …
Naturalization oaths have been demanded in order that the subjects
of the True Church might be made to subscribe to the United States
Constitution, with its impious laws and nefarious teachings to
compel them to renounce the true authority of the Catholic
pontiff; to dis-acknowledge Him to be the head of both church and
state… With deep sorrow we are now constrained to have recourse to
the arm of justice, and are obliged to take action against a
nation that has rejected the Pope as head of all church and state
governments… Now the reader may understand who is effectively responsible for the fall of America and globe into the Hand of Iblis. ‘Any and all means’, a Jesuit dictum, are used for the purpose of achieving Rome’s dominion over the entire earth, and that includes perversions of religions and morality, and they are happily ready to lay blame elsewhere, most especially on Jews, their traditional scapegoats, enforcers, and tax collectors. St. Paul clearly warned that men would worship the ‘god of forces’ in order to entice believers with great signs and wonders (magick). As Crowley related, this ‘Force’ is real and extremely potent as all Shamans, Witchdoctors and Sorcerers know from primary experience. It is with the Masters and Pawns of Pharaoh’s many faceted postmodern court, and with the chosen few of Crowley’s god-men crew. – May ‘The Force’ not be with you! – labrum We must allow all federations to continue as they are … we must
create a super-rite to remain unknown in strictest secrecy,
through which we will govern all Freemasons, which will become its
international centre; more powerful because its direction will
remain unknown.” – A. Pike 1870 Magus NOTES: “Zionism has no place for God as such. For Zionists, Judaism is a
convenient source of energy and culture and the Bible no more than

Kabbalists and the Conquest of the New World by David Livingston : (7 March 2018) http://www.conspiracyschool.com/blog/marranos-everywhere-christian-kabbalists-and-conquest-new-world#_edn1 https://web.archive.org/web/20140419215337/http://www.pseudoreality.org/westside.html In 1290, King Edward issued a decree to have all Jews expelled from England. All the crowned heads of Europe then followed his example. France expelled the Jews in 1306. In 1348 Saxony followed suit. In 1360 Hungary, in 1370 Belgium, in 1380 Slovakia, in 1420 Austria, in 1444 the Netherlands. As in other parts of Europe, violent persecution had been growing in Spain and Portugal, where in 1391, hundreds of thousands of Jews had been forced to convert to Catholicism. Publicly, the Jewish converts known as Marranos, and also as Conversos, were Christians but secretly they continued to practice Judaism. While secret conversion of Jews to another religion during the Spanish inquisition is the most known example, as Rabbi Joachim Prinz explained in The Secret Jews, “Jewish existence in disguise predates the Inquisition by more than a thousand years.”[1] There were also the examples of the first Gnostic sects, which comprised of Merkabah mystics who entered Christianity. Likewise, in the seventh century, the Quran advised the early Muslim community, “And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], “Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will abandon their religion.”[2] As demonstrated by Louis I. Newman in Jewish Influences on Christian Reform Movements, a similar tendency can be attributed to the advent of Catharism and eventually to Protestantism and other Christian heresies. The Cathars, also known as the Albigensians, were a Gnostic sect of the thirteenth century who worshipped Lucifer. Their influence extended to the legends of the Holy Grail, by way of the Templars, and thereby to Rosicrucianism and Freemasonsy. In his denunciation the heresy, Adversus Albigenses, Lucas of Tuy, a Spanish monk, noted: The secular heads and judges of the cities hear the doctrines of heresy from Jews whom they number among their familiars and friends… They teach other Jews to propose their blasphemies against Christians, in order that they can thus pervert the Catholic faith. All the synagogues of the malignant Jews have patrons, and they placate the leaders with innumerable gifts, and seduce by gold the judges to their own culture…”[3] Marranos joined orders like the Franciscans, Dominicans and Discalced Carmelites, where their prophetic eschatology was often branded as heresy.[4] The Discalced Carmelites were established in 1593 by two Spanish saints, Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint John of the Cross. John of the Cross was born Juan de Yepes y Alvarez, into a Marrano family.[5] John’s mystical theology is influenced by the Neoplatonic tradition of pseudo-Dionysus, a Christian theologian and philosopher of the late fifth to early sixth century.[6] The author pseudonymously identifies himself as the figure of Dionysius the Areopagite, the Athenian convert of the apostle Paul. The Dionysian mystical teachings were universally accepted throughout the East, amongst both Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, and also had a strong impact in later medieval western mysticism, most notably Meister Eckhart. Based upon preliminary reports made by members of the Discalced Carmelite mission in Basra during the sixteenth century, the Mandaeans of Iraq are called “Christians of Saint John.”[7] Often identified with the Sabians, the source of the occult teachings of the Ismailis, which were reportedly transmitted to the Templars. For this reason, the Mandeans were the “Eastern Mystics” of Rosicrucian legend, who later became the basis of the Sabbatean sect of the Asiatic Brethren. Teresa of Avila’s paternal grandfather, Juan Sánchez de Toledo, was a Marrano.[8] During a bout of severe illness, Teresa experienced periods of religious ecstasy. Around 1556, when various friends suggested these were diabolical, her confessor, the Jesuit Saint Francis Borgia, reassured her of their divine inspiration. The House of Borgia, an Italo-Spanish noble family, which rose to prominence during the Italian Renaissance, was widely rumored to be of Marrano origin.[9] The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, producing two popes: Pope Callixtus III during 1455–1458, and Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503. Especially during the reign of Alexander VI, they were suspected of many crimes, including adultery, incest, simony, theft, bribery, and murder, especially by arsenic poisoning.[10] Marranos were also involved in the creation of the order of the Jesuits. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits in 1534, had been a member of a heretical sect known as the Alumbrados, meaning “Illuminated,” which was composed mainly of Conversos.[11] Although there is no direct evidence that Loyola himself was a Marrano, according to “Lo Judeo Conversos en Espna Y America” (Jewish Conversos in Spain and America), Loyola is a typical Converso name.[12] As revealed by Robert Maryks, in The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews, Loyola’s successor Diego Laynez was a Marrano, as were many Jesuit leaders who came after him.[13] In fact, Marranos increased in numbers within Christian orders to the point where the papacy imposed “purity of blood” laws, placing restrictions on the entrance of New Christians to institutions like the Jesuits.
Christopher Columbus Estelle Irizarry, a linguistics professor at Georgetown University, argues that Columbus was a Catalan who tried to conceal a Jewish heritage. Irizarry notes that Columbus always wrote in Spanish, occasionally included Hebrew in his writing, and referenced the Jewish High Holidays in his journal during the first voyage. Recently, a number of Spanish scholars, such as Jose Erugo, Celso Garcia de la Riega, Otero Sanchez and Nicholas Dias Perez, have concluded that Columbus was a Marrano.[15] Columbus didn’t speak Italian, signed his last will and testament on May 19, 1506, whose wishes conformed to Jewish customs. He also decreed to give money to a Jew who lived in the Lisbon Jewish Quarter. Columbus used a triangular signature of dots and letters that resembled inscriptions found on gravestones of Jewish cemeteries in Spain. According to British historian Cecil Roth’s The History of the Marranos, the anagram was a cryptic substitute for the Kaddish, a prayer recited in the synagogue by mourners after the death of a close relative. Lastly, Columbus left money to support a crusade he hoped his successors would undertake up to liberate the Holy Land. Simon Wiesenthal in Sails of Hope argues that, in light of the Jews’ expulsion from Spain, Columbus’ voyage was motivated by a desire to find a safe haven. Carol Delaney, a cultural anthropologist at Stanford University, concludes that Columbus was a deeply religious man whose purpose was to sail to Asia to obtain gold in order to finance a crusade to take back Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem.[16] Columbus was the son-in-law of a Knight of Christ. After the Templars were abolished on in 1312 by the papal bull, issued by Pope Clement V, the former Knights Templar order as it was reconstituted in Portugal as the Military Order of Christ. The Order was founded in 1319, with the protection of the Portuguese king, Denis I, who refused to pursue and persecute the former knights as had occurred in all the other sovereign states under the political influence of the Catholic Church. The order was devoted specifically to sailing, and sponsored a number of history’s most well-known explorers. Vasco de Gama was a member of the order, and Prince Henry the Navigator, speculated as having been among the few to explore the New World prior to Christopher Columbus, was a Grand Master. Columbus may have used his relative’s maps to navigate his way to America, where his ships sailed under flags bearing the order’s insignia, the red cross of the Templars. Contrary to common assumptions, Columbus’ voyage to the New World was not funded by Queen Isabella, but rather by two Jewish Conversos, Louis de Santangel and Gabriel Sanchez, and another prominent a Portuguese Jewish statesman and Kabbalist philosopher, Don Isaac Abrabanel.[17] Abarbanel’s philosophy dealt with the sciences and how the general field relates to the Jewish religion and traditions, and his apologetics defends the Jewish idea of the coming of the Messiah. It is often implied that Abarbanel’s exegesis was written with the purpose of giving hope to the Jews of Spain that the arrival of the Messiah was imminent in their days.
Conquistadors After the expulsion, many Sephardic Jews migrated to the Netherlands, France and eventually Italy, from where they joined other expeditions to the Americas. By the late sixteenth century, organized Jewish communities were founded in the Portuguese colony of Brazil, the Dutch Suriname and Curaçao, Spanish Santo Domingo, and the English colonies of Jamaica and Barbados. In addition, there were unorganized communities of Jews in Spanish and Portuguese territories where the Inquisition was active, including Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Peru. The Jews were far more significant in the earliest exploration, settlement and development of the Caribbean and South America than has previously been acknowledged. Several Jewish communities in the Caribbean, Central and South America flourished, particularly in those areas under Dutch and English control, which were more tolerant. Jewish ships plying the Atlantic carried such names as the Mazel Tov or Bekeerde Jood (converted Jew), according to Dr. Wim Klooster, a Dutch historian.[19] Ed Kritzler’s best-seller Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean, recounts the tales of Jewish pioneers like the pirate Moses Cohen Henriques, who was the scourge of the Spanish treasure fleet, and his brother Abraham. By the mid-seventeenth century, the largest Jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere were located in Suriname and Brazil. By the early eighteenth century, half the European population of Suriname, then a territory of the Netherlands, was Jewish.[20] Dr. Anita Novinsky, a professor of history at the University of San Paulo, estimated that in the region around Rio de Janeiro and the state of Bahia, Marranos constituted 20 percent of the European population by the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. That number rose to 50 percent in the Paraiba region near Recife, the heart of the lucrative sugar trade.[21] Archaeologist Hugo Ludeña raised the possibility that the conquistador Francisco Pizarro was actually of Marrano origin, from a peculiar Hebrew symbol found in the ossuary of Pizarro. For almost a century, the mummified remains of Pizarro were on display in a glass casket in the Cathedral of Lima, Peru. However, in the 1970s, an ossuary was found which the scientific community determined to contain the bones of Pizarro. Ludeña determined that the engraved on the lid of the ossuary, which featured three crossed ellipses locked in a circle, was a Jewish symbol, following the funeral rites of the family.[22]
Protestant Reformation Luther himself, related Louis I. Newman, was interested for a time in the Kabbalah, perhaps under the influence of works of Johann Reuchlin, the great-uncle of Luther’s collaborator and primary founder of Lutheranism after Luther himself, Philipp Melanchthon. Melanchthon wrote in 1520, “I would rather die than be separated from Luther,” whom he afterward compared to Elijah, and called “the man full of the Holy Ghost.” Melanchthon exclaimed at Luther’s death, “Dead is the horseman and chariot of Israel who ruled the church in this last age of the world!”[25] Melanchthon was like a son to Reuchlin until the Reformation estranged them. In 1490 he was again in Italy. During his second visit to Rome in 1490, Reuchlin became acquainted with Pico di Mirandola at Florence, and, learning from him about the Kabbalah, he became interested in Hebrew.[26] Following Pico, he believed to have found in the Kabbalah a theosophy which might be employed in the defense of Christianity and the reconciliation of science with the mysteries of faith. Reuchlin’s Kabbalistic ideas were expounded in the De Verbo Mirifico, and finally in the De Arte Cabbalistica, in which he shared with Pope Leo X, the Medici pope who had been tutored by Pico, how he had met with Pico and his circle of philosophers who were reviving the ancient wisdom. Heinrich Graetz and Francis Yates contended that this affair helped spark the Protestant Reformation.[27] Luther himself supported Reuchlin in a controversy known as “The Battle of the Books,” which became a debate which involved the leading thinkers and rulers of Europe. Many of Reuchlin’s contemporaries thought that the first step to the conversion of the Jews was to take away their books. This view was advocated by Johannes Pfefferkorn, a Jewish convert to Catholicism and a follower of the Dominicans, who preached against the Jews and attempted to destroy copies of the Talmud, and engaged in a pamphleteering battle with Reuchlin. The Pfefferkorn controversy caused a wide rift in the church and eventually the case came before the papal court in Rome. When, in 1517, Reuchlin received the theses propounded by Luther, he exclaimed, “Thanks be to God, at last they have found a man who will give them so much to do that they will be compelled to let my old age end in peace.”[28] “It was thus a Jewish issue,” explains Louis I. Newman, “which helped ignite the fires of the Reformation; a conflict over a Jewish question created the milieu in which Luther’s movement emerged and developed, just as the Judaizing heresies of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were in part stimulated by the debate over the Talmud.”[29] The several Jewish converts to Lutheranism whom Luther knew influenced him in many directions. These included Matthew Adrian, a Spanish Jew, the teacher of Conrad Pellican, the grammarian, of Fabritius Capito, a friend of Erasmus. Luther sought the advice of Jewish students and Rabbis on numerous occasions. Jews paid visits at his home to discuss with him difficult passages of the Bible, especially for the revision of his translation. On one occasion, three Jews, Shmaryah, Shlomoh and Leo visited him in Wittenberg, and expressed their joy that Christians were now busying themselves with Jewish literature and mentioned the hope among many Jews that the Christians would enter Judaism en masse as a result of the Reformation. The role of Jewish converts in the spread of the doctrines behind the Reformation has been pointed out on several occasions. During the Middle Ages, Jewish converts who attacked their former faith included Nicholas Donin, Paul Christian, Abner-Alphonso of Burgos (c. 1270 – c. 1347), John of Valladolid (b. 1335), Paul of Burgos (c. 1351 – 1435) and Geronimo de Santa Fe (fl. 1400–1430). Impelled by his hatred of Talmudic Judaism, Paul of Burgos, an erudite scholar of Talmudic and rabbinical literature, composed the Dialogus Pauli et Sauli Contra Judæos, sive Scrutinium Scripturarum, which as a source for Luther’s On the Jews and their Lies. Victor von Carben, was involved in the Pfefferkorn controversy, Emmanuel Tremellius, who published a Latin version of the Hebrew Bible, Jochanan Isaac, the author of two Hebrew grammars, and his son Stephen, all became Protestants and wrote polemics against Catholicism. About 1524, Jews coming from Europe described with joy to the Kabbalist Abraham ben Eliezer ha-Levi in Jerusalem the anti-clerical tendencies of the Protestant reformers. On the basis of this report, the Kabbalists regarded Luther as a kind of crypto-Jew who would educate Christians away from the bad elements of their faith.[30] Abraham ben Eliezer related that a great astrologer in Spain, named R. Joseph, wrote in a forecast on the significance of the sun’s eclipse in the year 1478, as prophesying a man who would reform religion and rebuild Jerusalem. Abraham b. Eliezer adds that “at first glance we believed that the man foreshadowed by the stars was Messiah b. Joseph [Messiah]. But now it is evident that he is none other than the man mentioned [by all; i.e., Luther], who is exceedingly noble in all his undertakings and all these forecasts are realized in his person.”[31]
Occult Court of Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth I’s court was steeped in esoteric thought. Edmund Spenser’s magical poem The Faerie Queene and his Neoplatonic hymns in Elizabeth’s honor, published in the 1590’s, were a direct challenge to the Counter-Reformation and their attitude to heretical nature of Renaissance philosophy. The poem, inspired by the Order of the Garter, follows several knights, like the Redcrosse Knight, the hero of Book One who bears the emblem of Saint George. Additionally, Christopher Marlowe wrote Doctor Faustus, a play developed from the Faust legend, in which a sorcerer sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. Like Spenser’s Faerie Queene, the British accepted the prophecy of Merlin, which proclaimed that the Saxons would rule over the Britons until King Arthur again restored them to their rightful place as rulers. The prophecy was related by Geoffrey of Monmouth (1100 – 1155), a cleric and one of the major figures in the development of British historiography and the popularity of tales of King Arthur. He is best known for his chronicle Historia Regum Britanniae, which relates the purported history of Britain from its first settlement by Brutus, a descendant of the Trojan hero Aeneas. The prophecy was adopted by the British people and eventually used by the Tudors who claimed to be descendants of Arthur and rightful rulers of Britain.[32] North America attracted particular attention in England, as the idea grew that a north-west passage to the East could be discovered. John Bale, writing in the 1540s, had identified the Protestant Church of England as an actor in the historical struggle with the “false church” of Catholicism, supported by his interpretations of the Book of Revelation. The views of John Foxe, author of what is popularly known as Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, became widely accepted within the Church of England for a generation and more. According to Foxe, a war against the Antichrist was being waged by the English people, but led by the Christian Emperor (echoing Constantine I) who was identified with Elizabeth I. Foxe, referring to it as “this my-country church of England,” characterized England’s destiny as the elect nation” of God.[33] The imperial ambitions of Elizabeth’s reign were also coupled with the esotericism represented by John Dee and others. John Dee (1527 – 1608 or 1609) was royal astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, who believed that he found the secret of conjuring angels by numerical configurations in the tradition of the Kabbalah. It is John Dee who has been credited with the coining of the term “British Empire.” Believing himself to be of ancient British royal descent as well, Dee identified completely with the British imperial myth around Elizabeth I.[34] According to Donald Tyson, “It was Dee’s plan to use the complex system of magic communicated by the angels to advance the expansionist policies of his sovereign, Elizabeth the First.”[35] In his 1576 General and rare memorials pertayning to the Perfect Arte of Navigation, Dee advocated a policy of political and economic strengthening of England and imperial expansion through colonization and maritime supremacy into the New World. Dee laid the foundations for British imperialism by claiming that conquests by King Arthur had given Elizabeth I title to foreign lands such as Greenland, Iceland, Friesland, the northern islands towards Russia and the North Pole. Dee claimed that the New World was appointed by Providence for the British to influence and rule. He further asserted that Brutus of Britain and King Arthur as well as Madog had conquered lands in the Americas and therefore their heir Elizabeth I of England had a priority claim there.[36] One of Dee’s staunchest supporters at court was Sir Christopher Hatton who was the main backer for Sir Francis Drake’s world voyage. Drake’s exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English, but a pirate to the Spaniards to whom he was known as El Draco, “the Dragon.” Drake also carried out the second circumnavigation of the world, from 1577 to 1580. Drake was Vice-Admiral of the English fleet in 1588 against the Spanish Armada, whose defeat was supposedly caused through Dee’s sorcery. When Elizabeth had consulted Dee on how to best counter the advancing Spanish ships, he advised her and Drake to refrain from pursuit because the Spanish fleet would be broken up by storm. When a storm did destroy the Armada and aided the English victory many courtiers were convinced that Dee had conjured it. Thus, Dee became the model for the character of the sorcerer Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. But it was also believed Drake was a wizard and sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for success over the Spanish. It is claimed that he also organized several covens of witches to work magically to raise the storm and prevent the invasion.[37] Dee was a close friend of the spy and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618). Instrumental in the English colonization of North America, Raleigh was granted a royal patent to explore Virginia, which paved the way for future English settlements. Raleigh as well was interested in magic. In his History of the World, Raleigh explains that for the most part the reputation of magic was unfairly maligned, and that in former times magicians were known as wisemen: the Persians as Magi, the Babylonians as Chaldeans, Greeks as philosophers, and Jews as Kabbalists, “who better understood the power of nature, and how to apply things that work to things that suffer.”[38] Raleigh’s half-brother Sir Humphrey Gilbert (c. 1539 – 1583) tried to establish a permanent colony in North America and Newfoundland, without much success. Gilbert then took a more southerly route across the Atlantic. In 1584, he sent out an exploratory expedition which located Roanoke Island, now in North Carolina, and returned to England that autumn. The following year he sent out a military expedition under Sir Richard Grenville, which built a fort there and remained until spring 1586.
The Rosicrucians But Dee also believed that the prophecies were “to be published … all the World over.”[41] The angels told Dee that he would help lead the establishment of a new, angelically-revealed universal religion that would also include the Jews and Muslims.[42] The conversion of the Jews was crucial to the apocalyptic expectations of Dee’s time. According to Deborah Harkness, “Many of Dee’s remarks about conversion in the angel conversations concerned them and combined a paradoxical though fairly common early modern blend of anti-Semitism with an intense interest in secret, mystical Hebrew knowledge.”[43] To gain support for his political ambitions, Dee continued to search for a sponsor though neither Elizabeth nor Philip II of Spain expressed any interest in his plans. In 1583, when Dee was in Prague he tried to interest the mystically-inclined Rudolph II, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, in his imperialist agenda and angelic communications. The angels commanded Dee to tell the emperor he was possessed by demons, and command him to heed the angelic message. “If you will hear me, and believe me, you shall Triumph,” Dee told Rudolf, but “If you will not hear me, The Lord, the God that made Heaven and Hell… will throw you headlong down from your seat.”[44] The objective of Dee’s mission was referred to by a contemporary observer: A learned and renowned Englishman whose name was Doctor Dee came to Prague to see the Emperor Rudolf II and was at first well received by him; he predicted that a miraculous reformation would presently come about in the Christian world and would prove the ruin not only of the city of Constantinople but of Rome also. These predictions he did not cease to spread among the populace.[45] However, Rudolf nevertheless rejected Dee’s invitation as well. Dee’s fortunes back in England were not much better. Elizabeth did not marry, and as she had no direct heir she was therefore succeeded by King James IV of Scotland, who became King James I of England. James did not share Elizabeth’s sympathies for Dee, and when he appealed to the king for help in clearing his reputation from charges of conjuring devils, the King ignored him. Dee finally died disgraced and in abject poverty in 1608. Nevertheless, Dee’s influence in Bohemia resulted in a subversive movement for universal religious reform which rallied the Protestant cause against the Habsburg rulers. In 1618 the largely Protestant estates of Bohemia rebelled against their Catholic King Ferdinand, triggering the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. Expecting that King James would come to their aid, in 1619, the Rosicrucians granted the throne of Bohemia to Frederick in direct opposition to the Catholic Habsburg rulers. The Rosicrucians had announced themselves to the world with the publication of the notorious Rosicrucian Manifestos. The first of these, purportedly written by Johann Valentin Andreae (1586 – 1654), was the Fama Frateritatis, an allegorical history of the Rosicrucians, which appeared in 1614, and followed by a second tract a year later. The Fama was part of a larger Protestant treatise titled, The Universal and General Reformation of the Whole Wide World; together with the Fama Fraternatis of the Laudable Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, Written to All the Learned and the Rulers of Europe. The Manifestos appeared around the same time that the German prince Frederick V, Elector of the Palatinate of the Rhine, began to be seen as the ideal incumbent to take the place of leader of the Protestant resistance against the Catholic Hapsburgs. While Frederick had powerful connections with French Protestants, most importantly, in 1613, he had married Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of King James of England. The marriage of Frederick and Elizabeth represented an important dynastic alliance, in order to bolster the Protestant movement. The perceived importance of their marriage was enshrined in occult and alchemical symbolism in a Rosicrucian tract called The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. Frederick accepted the offer and was crowned on 4 November of that year. However, James opposed the takeover of Bohemia from the Habsburgs, and Frederick’s allies in the Protestant Union failed to support him militarily by signing the Treaty of Ulm in 1620. Frederick’s brief reign as King of Bohemia ended with his defeat at the Battle of White Mountain in the same year. Imperial forces invaded the Palatinate and Frederick had to flee to Holland in 1622, where he lived the rest of his life in exile with Elizabeth and their children, mostly at The Hague, and died in Mainz in 1632. For his short reign of a single winter, Frederick is often nicknamed the “Winter King.”
Invisible College [The millenarians] took seriously the injunction in Daniel that, as the end approaches, knowledge and understanding will increase, the wise will understand, while the wicked will not. They also took seriously the need to prepare, through reform, for the glorious days ahead. Their efforts to gain and encourage scientific knowledge, to build a new educational system, to transform political society, were all part of their Millenarian reason of events. They needed to understand, to construct a new theory of knowledge, a new metaphysics, for the new situation, the Thousand Year reign of Christ on earth, which was to be followed by a new heaven and a new earth. Efforts to accomplish this great end are part of the making of the modern world and of the making of the modern mind.[47] As Christopher Hill has indicated, in Millenarianism and Messianism in English Literature and Thought, 1650-1800, calculations of the precise date of the end of the world based on the Book of Daniel and Revelation occupied some of the best mathematicians, from Napier in the late sixteenth century, to Sir Isaac Newton at the end of the seventeenth. Consensus agreed that 1260 years should be added to the date the Antichrist established his power, which Protestants took to be the Pope. Various calculations therefore settled on the years 1650-1656 for his destruction, the gathering of the Gentiles, the conversion of the Jews and their return to Palestine. Other estimates offered the year 1666.[48] Paul Nagel, the close friend of Jacob Boehme’s mentor Baltazar Walther, had been making similar predictions. According to Nagel, “for [the book of] Revelation is our true astronomy, and our astronomy is the true Revelation.”[49] After a brilliant comet had burned in the night skies above Europe in November and December of 1618, Nagel issued the Stellae Prodigiosae, in which he outlined a complex astrological-prophetic system. Based on biblical astronomical evidence, Nagel argued that this confluence of ideas demonstrated that the millennium, a time of future felicity for the church, led in spirit by Christ himself, would dawn in 1624. Following would be the great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the trigon of Leo, Aries and Sagittarius in 1623. This “millennium” would endure just 42 years, until the Last Judgment in 1666.[50] This belief was so prevalent that Manasseh ben Israel, in his letter to Oliver Cromwell and the Rump Parliament, appealed to it as a reason to readmit Jews into England, saying, “[T]he opinions of many Christians and mine do concur herein, that we both believe that the restoring time of our Nation into their native country is very near at hand.”[51] A desire to better comprehend prophesies of the end times resulted in widespread interest in Jewish ideas on the subject. Most sought after was the knowledge of Menasseh Ben Israel, the son of a Marrano of Lisbon, who had suffered at the hands of the Inquisition, and had taken refuge in Amsterdam. Menasseh’s alliance with a scion of the Abarbanel family, in whose tradition of Davidic descent he was a firm believer, inspired him with the idea that he was destined to promote the coming of the Messiah. Menasseh’s marriage to his wife Rachel, a granddaughter of the Abarbanel, inspired him with the idea that he was destined to promote the coming of the Messiah. According to family legend, Menasseh’s wife was a descendant of King David, and he was proud of his children’s Davidic ancestry.[52] Manasseh entered into correspondence with several of the more mystically-minded of the Puritans in England who had become interested in the question of Jewish immigration. Together with millenarians John Dury, Comenius and Samuel Hartlib, they formed the nucleus of a network called the Hartlib Circle, which was modeled on the lines of the “Invisible College” advocated in Rosicrucian writings, the precursor of the Royal Society. Hartlib had come to England in 1628, after the Catholic conquest of Elbing in Polish Prussia, as part of the disruptions of the Thirty Years War. When he arrived in England, he collected around him refugees from Poland, Bohemia and the Palatinate. Elizabeth Stuart, widow of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, was the chief patron of Hartlib, John Dury and John Comenius. Hartlib reported that Descartes, who has long been suspected of Rosicrucian sympathies, spent some time during the winter of 1634/35 at the house of Elizabeth Stuart. Descartes would develop a close relationship with her daughter, Elizabeth of Bohemia.[53] Comenius was a Bishop of the Bohemian Brethren, heirs of the Hussite movement, a pre-Protestant movement that followed the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus, who became the best known representative of the Bohemian Reformation of the early fifteenth century. Not only was Huss stigmatized as a “Judaizer,” but when he was about to be burned at the stake for heresy in 1415, he was denounced with the words: “Oh thou accursed Judas, who breaking away from the counsels of peace, hast consulted with the Jews.”[54] Within fifty years of Huss’ death, a contingent of his followers, who had become independently organised as the “Bohemian Brethren,” received episcopal ordination through the Waldensians in 1467.[55] A note in the Book of Acts of the Theological Faculty of the University of Vienna, January 10, 1419, mentions a conspiracy between the Hussites, Waldensians and Jews.[56] The plan for Andreae’s Societas Christiana was already set forth in two works that were believed to have been lost until they were discovered recently among the Hartlib papers. Comenius named Andreae as one of those who inspired him towards the reform of education. Considered the father of modern education, Comenius was one of the earliest champions of universal education, a concept eventually set forth in his book Didactica Magna.[57] Andreae recognized Comenius as his heir and encouraged him to carry on his reforming Rosicrucian ideas. Among the extensive network of the Hartlib Circle was John Milton, author of Paradise Lost. Lucifer’s statement in Milton’s Paradise Lost, “Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav’n,” became an inspiration for those who embraced the rebellion against God. According to Matthew in Modern Satanism, “Shorn of all theistic implications, modern Satanism’s use of Satan is firmly in the tradition that John Milton inadvertently engendered—a representation of the noble rebel, the principled challenger of illegitimate power.”[58]
Resettlement of the Jews in England La Peyrère also served as secretary to the Prince of Condé. It has since emerged that, in fact: “Condé, Cromwell and Christina were negotiating to create a theological-political world state, involving overthrowing the Catholic king of France, among other things.”[60] La Peyrère also argued that the Messiah would join with the king of France, meaning the Prince of Condé, not Louis XIV, to liberate the Holy Land, rebuild the Temple and set up a world government of the Messiah with the king of France acting as regent. Then the Jews will rule the world from Jerusalem. John Dury introduced Manasseh to the views of Antonio de Montesinos, who came to Amsterdam to inform the Jews, testifying under oath before Rabbi Menasseh ben Israel of his discovery of a remnant of the Lost Ten Tribes in South America.[61] Simultaneously other reports about the appearance of the Ten Tribes reached Jews and Christians, all this creating an atmosphere of excitement. According to Daniel 12:7, claimed Menasseh, this general dispersion was a necessary precondition for the final deliverance of the Jews. Manasseh therefore wrote a treatise on the Lost Tribes, Esperança de Israel (“Hope of Israel”), in support of the readmission of the Jews into England, and which proved, in his own words, “that the day of the promised Messiah unto us doth draw near.”[62] The tract was immediately successful, being very influential not only during the readmission campaign, but also a decade later when rumors circulated about the return of the Ten Tribes.[63] Menasseh believed that the Messianic age needed as its precondition the settlement of Jews in all parts of the known world. Fired by this idea, he turned his attention to England where the Jews had been expelled since 1290. Lord Alfred Douglas, who edited Plain English, in an article of September 3, 1921, explained how records of the Synagogue of Muljeim revealed a plot between Menasseh and Oliver Cromwell which culminated in the execution of King Charles—the brother of Elizabeth Stuart—in 1649.[64] Parliament established an interim period of Commonwealth. In 1653, Cromwell terminated both his Parliament and the Commonwealth and, appointed himself Lord Protector. The Cromwellian government was commonly regarded as a Rosicrucian circle. Samuel Butler (1612 – 1680), in his satire of the Restoration, Characters, tells of “the Brethren of the Rosy-Cross” as having attempted a misguided reformation of “their government.” A character in Butler’s other work Hudibras explains: “The Fraternity of the Rosy-Crucians is very like the Sect of the antient Gnostici who called themselves so, from the excellent Learning they pretend to, although they were really the most ridiculous Sots of all Mankind.”[65] According to Paul Benbridge, Cromwellians also referred to themselves as Rosicrucians, such as Andrew Marvell (1621 – 1678), a metaphysical poet and friend of Milton who sat in the House of Commons.[66] Menasseh came to England in September 1655 with three other local rabbis, where they were lodged as guests of Cromwell. Cromwell summoned the most notable statesmen, lawyers, and theologians of the day to the Whitehall Conference in December. The chief result was the declaration that “there was no law which forbade the Jews’ return to England.” Though nothing was done to regularize the position of the Jews, the door was opened to their gradual return. Cromwell was also closely acquainted with the Marrano merchants settled in London, who formed there a secret congregation, at the head of which was Antonio Fernandez Carvajal. When their group at Rouen had been denounced to the authorities as secret Jews many of them eventually fled to London. All were living nominally as Catholics, attending mass regularly in the Chapel of the French or Savoy Ambassador. They conducted extensive business with the Levant, East and West Indies, Canary Islands, and Brazil, but particularly with the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. By forming an important link in the network of trade spread throughout the Spanish and Portuguese territories by the Marranos, their position enabled them to provide Cromwell important information as to the plans both of Charles Stuart in Holland and of the Spanish in the New World. Cromwell had been moved to sympathy with the Jewish cause chiefly because he foresaw the importance for English commerce of the presence of the Jewish merchant princes, some of whom had already found their way to London. As Richard Christopher Hill explained: The Jews’ potential usefulness to the development of a forward colonial and commercial foreign policy was an additional reason for English interest in them. As early as 1643 Jews in the Netherlands were said to be financing Parliament. Their command of bullion was enormous; they controlled the Spanish and Portuguese trades; the Levant trade was largely in their hands; they were interested in developing commerce with the East and West Indies. To governments they were useful as contractors and as spies. If the ambitious scheme for Anglo-Dutch union put forward by the Commonwealth in 1661 had come off, then the Jews in the Netherlands would have been taken together with the Dutch colonial empire and its trade. When the Dutch refused to be incorporated into the British Empire, Dutch merchants were to totally excluded from all British possessions by the Navigation Act of 1651. This development made many Jews in the Netherlands—especially those trading with the West Indies—anxious to transfer to London: and it redoubled the interest of the English government in attracting them there. The policy paid off: Jewish intelligence helped the preparations for Cromwell’s Western Design of 1655.[67] The Western Design was a part of the Anglo-Spanish War, a conflict between the English Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell and Spain, between 1654 and 1660. It involved an attack on the Spanish West Indies that was intended to secure a base of operations in the Caribbean from which to threaten trade and treasure routes in the Spanish Main, thus weakening Catholic influence in the New World. In 1655, Cromwell sent an expedition led by Sir William Penn, and General Robert Venables, who invaded Spanish territory in the West Indies with the objective of capturing Hispaniola. However, the assault failed because the Spanish had improved their defenses in the face of Dutch attacks earlier in the century. Despite various subsequent successes, such as an established presence in Jamaica, Cromwell saw the operation as a general failure, and Venables and Penn were imprisoned therefore in the Tower of London on their arrival on England.
Sabbatai Zevi As Christopher Hill has indicated, in Millenarianism and Messianism in English Literature and Thought, 1650-1800, calculations of the precise date of the end of the world based on the Book of Daniel and Revelation occupied some of the best mathematicians, from Napier in the late sixteenth century, to Sir Isaac Newton, a member of the Royal Society, at the end of the seventeenth. Newton was committed to interpretations of the “Restoration” of the Jews to their own land of Palestine and spent the remaining years of his intellectual life exploring the Book of Daniel. Consensus agreed that 1260 years should be added to the date the Antichrist established his power, which Protestants took to be the Pope. Various calculations therefore settled on the years 1650-1656 for his destruction, the gathering of the Gentiles, the conversion of the Jews and their return to Palestine. Other estimates offered the year 1666, the same year that Sabbatai Zevi announced himself as the Jewish messiah, duping an estimate half of the world’s Jewish population.[69] As Jacob Barnai has shown, among the more avid readers of Menasseh ben Israel’s Hope of Israel were none other than Sabbatai Zevi and his followers.[70] The Jewish community of Amsterdam had been kept informed of the progress of Sabbatai’s mission through Peter Serrarius, at whose home Menasseh ben Israel first shared his conviction in the immanent advent of the messiah. As soon as news reached Amsterdam about Sabbatai Zevi, Serrarius was publishing pamphlets in English and Dutch telling everyone about the signs of the messianic era and that the King of the Jews had arrived.[71] Almost the entire Jewish community of Amsterdam had become followers of Sabbatai Zevi, having been kept informed of the progress of Sabbatai’s mission through a friend of John Dury, Peter Serrarius, at whose home Menasseh ben Israel first shared his conviction in the imminent advent of the messiah. In 1664, Serrarius rushed into a synagogue after the appearance of a comet and he birth of a two-headed cow, and he and the rabbis performed gematria and concluded that the Messiah would arrive in 1666.[72] As soon as news reached Amsterdam about Zevi, Serrarius was publishing pamphlets in English and Dutch telling everyone about the signs of the messianic era and that the King of the Jews had arrived.[73] Menasseh and La Peyrère’s co-conspirator, Queen Christina, became so fascinated with the claims of Sabbatai Zevi that she nearly became a disciple. She reportedly danced in the streets of Hamburg with Jewish friends in anticipation of the apocalyptic event.[74] Among Serrarius’ intimate friends were John Dury and Comenius, both of whom he was able to convince of Zevi’s messiahship.[75] Dury, who had been working for twenty-five years for the conversion of the Jews as a precondition for the Second Coming, spent much time trying to figure out where Zevi fit in the expected Christian scenario about the “end of days.” He offered the interpretation that God was rewarding the Jews by having their messianic moment occur, and punishing Christians because they were not “pure” enough.[76] Serrarius was also in contact with the alchemist Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont, author of the Alphabetum Naturale Hebraicum (1667), and the Christian Kabbalist Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, famous for his Kabbala Denudata. Van Helmont had served on a diplomatic mission on behalf of Elisabeth of Bohemia, the daughter of Elizabeth Stuart and Frederich V of the Palatinate who was living in Herford, Germany, when he met with Henry More and Robert Boyle. Serrarius died in 1669 on his way to Turkey to meet with Zevi.
New Atlantis However, recent scholarship has shown that he was committed to the Renaissance occult tradition, and his survey of science included a review of magic, astrology, and a reformed version of alchemy.[79] On 22 January 1621, in honor of his sixtieth birthday, a select group of men assembled in the large banquet hall at Bacon’s York House for what has been described as a Masonic banquet.[80] Only those of the Rosicrosse (Rosicrucians) and the Masons who were already aware of Bacon’s leadership role were invited.[81] On that day, a long-time friend of Bacon, the poet Ben Jonson, best known for his satirical plays, Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, gave a Masonic ode to Bacon. Long popular in occult circles, the Atlantis myth was first mentioned by Plato, referring to a lost continent that had existed in the Atlantic Ocean. Mediaeval European writers, who received the tale from Arab geographers, believed the mythical island to have actually existed, and later writers tried to identify it with an actual country. When America was discovered, the Spanish historian Francesco Lopez de Gomara, in his General History of the Indes, suggested that Plato’s Atlantis and the new continents were the same, a theory repeated by Bacon. To understand the Masonic perspective of this history, Manly P. Hall in The Secret Destiny of America explained: Bacon quickly realized that here in the new world was the proper environment for the accomplishment of his great dream, the establishment of the philosophic empire. It must be remembered that Bacon did not play a lone hand; he was the head of a secret society including in its membership the most brilliant intellectuals of his day. All these men were bound together by a common oath to labor in the cause of a world democracy. Bacon’s society of the unknown philosophers included men of high rank and broad influence. Together with Bacon, they devised the colonization scheme.[82] Bacon played a leading role in creating the British colonies, especially in Virginia, the Carolinas, and Newfoundland in northeastern Canada. In New Atlantis, Bacon suggests that the continent of America was the former Atlantis where there existed an advanced race during the Golden Age of civilization. Bacon tells the story of a country ruled by philosopher-scientists in their great college called Solomon’s House. They described the purpose of their brotherhood: “The end of our foundation is the knowledge of causes, and secret motions of things; and the enlarging of the bounds of human empire, to the effecting of all things possible.” Having gained superior knowledge imparted to them by heavenly beings, they possessed flying machines and ships with which they travel under the sea. Following in the steps of John Dee, Bacon lent his group’s support behind the English plan to colonize America. An attempt to colonize the New World was made under the initial leadership in 1602 of Bartholomew Gosnold (1571 –1607), a cousin twice over of Francis Bacon and four times over of the 17th Earl of Oxford, whom Oxfordians believe was Shakespeare. Gosnold was an English lawyer, explorer, and privateer and a friend of Richard Hakluyt and sailed with Walter Raleigh. Gosnold was instrumental in founding the Virginia Company of London, and Jamestown in colonial America. Gosnold’s voyage was funded by the Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare’s patron. He led the first recorded European expedition to Cape Cod. He is considered by Preservation Virginia to be the “prime mover of the colonization of Virginia.” Following the coastline for several days, he discovered Martha’s Vineyard and named it after his daughter, Martha, and established a small post on Cuttyhunk Island, one of the Elizabeth Islands, near Gosnold, now in Massachusetts. Bacon claimed that the New Kingdom on Earth which was Virginia exemplified the Kingdom of Heaven. Bacon’s involvement in American colonization is demonstrated by William Strachey, who in 1618 dedicated a manuscript copy of his Historie of Travaile into Virginia Britania to Bacon: Your Lordship ever approving yourself a most noble fautor [favourer] of the Virginia plantation, being from the beginning (with other lords and earls) of the principal counsell applied to propagate and guide it.[83] Bacon is listed in the 1609 charter as a shareholder of the Virginia Company of London and one of the 52 members of the Virginia Council. The Virginia Company refers collectively to a joint stock company chartered by James I in 1606, with the purposes of establishing settlements on the coast of North America. The two companies, called the “Virginia Company of London” (or the London Company) and the “Virginia Company of Plymouth” (or Plymouth Company) operated with identical charters but with differing territories. An area of overlapping territory was created within which the two companies were not permitted to establish colonies within one hundred miles of each other. The Plymouth Company never fulfilled its charter, and its territory that later became New England was at that time also claimed by England.
The Mayflower According to Nicholas Hagger in The Secret Founding of America: The Real Story of Freemasons, Puritans, & the Battle for The New World, “Indeed, so close were Puritanism and Rosicrucianism in essence that it can be said that the Puritan philosophy was actually Rosicrucian.”[84] The Puritans were a group of English Reformed Protestants in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who sought to “purify” the Church of England from all Roman Catholic practices, maintaining that the Church of England had only been partially reformed. However, when James I took the throne in 1603, he declared he would put an end to church reform movements, and deal harshly with radical critics of the Church of England. A group dissatisfied with the efforts of the Puritans, decided they would sever all ties, and became known as Separatists led by John Robinson and William Brewster. However, in 1608, shortly after James I declared the Separatist Church illegal, the congregation emigrated Leiden where they were joined by Rosicrucian circles. It was here that Brewster set up a new printing company in order to publish leaflets promoting the Separatist aims and pamphlets supporting the Rosicrucian cause.[85] Puritanism, especially Dutch Puritanism, was strongly linked to Rosicrucianism. For example, John Wilkins, Frederick V’s chaplain, was closely linked to Rosicrucianism in the Palatinate and tutored Frederick and Elizabeth’s son when he was sent to England. Wilkins co-founded the Royal Society when the Invisible College met in his rooms at Wadham College, Oxford, from 1648 to 1659, and he had a deep connection with Puritanism.[86] In November 1620, following the outbreak of the Thirty Years War, which erupted after the Habsburgs set out to crush the Rosicrucian movement, Frederick V and Elizabeth Stuart fled into exile in The Hague in the Netherlands, and numerous Rosicrucianism migrated with them. The reason Frederick and Elizabeth sought refuge in the Netherlands was not only because of the liberal principles adopted by the republic, but also because of the hospitality offered by Maurice, the prince of Orange. Maurice had been educated at Heidelberg University in the Palatinate, where he had met Simon Studion and other founding members of the Rosicrucian movement. It was Maurice, in fact, who had offered the English Separatists a safe haven in Leiden in 1608. After their flight from Bohemia in 1619, Maurice granted Elizabeth and Frederick asylum in Holland. He let them use his home in The Hague and gave them another residence in Leiden.[87] It was to Brewster’s home in Leiden in 1615 that fled Pierre Du Gua de Monts (c. 1558 – 1628), a French merchant, explorer and colonizer with Rosicrucian connections.[88] Du Gua, a Calvinist founded the first permanent French settlement in Canada. He travelled to northeastern North America for the first time in 1599 with Pierre de Chauvin de Tonnetuit. He sent Samuel de Champlain to open a colony at Quebec in 1608, thus playing a major role in the foundation of the first permanent French colony in North America. Du Gua was also a member of the School of Night, a modern name for a group of men centered on Sir Walter Raleigh that was once referred to in 1592 as the “School of Atheism.” The group supposedly included poets and scientists Christopher Marlowe, George Chapman and Thomas Harriot. Marlowe was the author of Doctor Faustus, which is the most controversial Elizabethan play outside of Shakespeare. It is based on the German story of Faust, a highly successful scholar who is dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil, and exchange his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. There is no firm evidence that all of these men were known to each other, but speculation about their connections features prominently in some writing about the Elizabethan era. When the Fama Fraternitatis publicly announced the existence of the Rosicrucian fraternity in 1610, the document was circulated in Paris, and one of the first to publicly respond to it was Du Gua.[89] In 1615 the Queen Mother discovered Du Gua’s authorship of anti-government pamphlets and ordered his arrest. With a price on his head, Du Gua fled to the Netherlands where he stayed with Brewster. Brewster had been a student of Greek and Latin at Cambridge University in the mid-1580s, at the same time as William Shakespeare’s colleague Christopher Marlowe, through whom he had met Walter Raleigh and began to attend the meetings of the School of Night, and subsequently struck up a close friendship with Du Gua. The last known Rosicrucian document, published in Latin by Brewster in Leiden in 1615, was called the Confessio Fraternitatis, or “Confession of the Fraternity,” and was written under a pseudonym, Philip A Gabella (Philip the Cabalist), while some scholars have proposed that its true author was Pierre Du Gua.[90] Other Rosicrucians also congregated in Leiden at precisely the same time, in February 1620, just prior to the Mayflower’s voyage, suggesting that they beyond England, they were also looking for refuge in the New World following their escape from the Palatinate. Johann Valentin Andreae, the author of the Fama Fraternitatis, was already there, having left Germany when war broke out. Fulke Greville, whose London house was used for the early meetings of the School of Night and who had been present at Elizabeth’s “Alchemical Wedding,” was there. Francis Bacon was visiting Maurice of Orange in his official position as English lord chancellor to discuss the legality of a trade treaty with the Netherlands. The playwright Ben Jonson was present in Leiden, performing a play at a new theater. And the architect Inigo Jones, although not staying in Leiden itself, was in nearby Amsterdam working on plans for a church he had been commissioned to build in the city. At the very time, the English Separatists in the city decided the only hope for religious freedom lay in North America. In 1620, a large part of the Separatist congregation sailed for the New World aboard a ship named the Mayflower, with 102 passengers, Brewster, and all the Pilgrim Fathers, the name later given to the original nine elders of the church. On November 9, 1620, they sighted land, which was present-day Cape Cod.
New England Zimmerman was referred to by German authorities as “most learned astrologer, magician and cabbalist.”[92] With his followers in the Society of the Woman in the Wilderness, Kelpius came to believe that the end of the world would occur in 1694. This belief, based on an elaborate interpretation of a passage from the Book of Revelation, anticipated the advent of a heavenly kingdom somewhere in the wilderness during that year. Answering Sir William Penn’s call to establish a godly country in his newly acquired American lands, Kelpius felt that Pennsylvania, given its reputation for religious toleration at the edge of a barely settled wilderness, was the best place to be. Pennsylvania was founded by the son of Sir William Penn, William Penn. Penn became close friends with Elisabeth Stuart, celebrating her in the second edition of his book No Cross, No Crown. Penn, a friend of John Dury, was also a member of the Lantern, a circle around Rotterdam merchant Benjamin Furly, which included alchemists van Helmont, Lady Conway, Henry More and John Locke. Furly and van Helmont were also connected with a group of students of Jacob Boehme which included Serrarius and who also knew and associated with Baruch Spinoza. Furly, like Penn, was a Quaker and a close supporter of George Fox, the founder of the movement, which provided the guiding principles of the new state of Pennsylvania. At some time, Penn came into contact with German Rosicrucian Jacob Boehme’s teachings and the Rosicrucians who introduced him into the deeper mystical and metaphysical studies. In New World Mystics, Dr. Palo writes: Penn had a more than passing interest in mysticism and the Rosae Crucis. He referred to Jacob Boehme as his master in the art and law of divine wisdom.[93] Palo includes a footnote indicating that William Penn visited Pietist conventicles in Europe. They were initiatic collegiums for Rosicrucians: …he visited Pietist conventicles which were held in an air of great secrecy and danger of exposure. He invited the Rosae Crucis to settle on his land [in America]… These Pietists or Rosicrucians were thought unorthodox and hence undesirable in the eye of the politico-religious powers of Europe. They were accused of mixing Christian tenets with the practices of Ancient Egypt and some of the doctrines of Zoroaster.” As further explained by Palo, after Penn’s first trip to America in 1681, on several trips he made back to Europe, he had come into contact with individuals in England, Holland and Germany, who were playing an important role in executing a plan to establish a Rosicrucian colony in America by 1694. Notable among them were William Markham of The Philadelphic Society in London, who would serve later as Penn’s Deputy Governor of Pennsylvania, and Jacob Isaac Van Bebber, a German Rosicrucian, who later purchased a thousand acres of land from Penn for the purpose of establishing a colony in America. [94] In 1682, William Penn founded the city of Philadelphia, named after one of the “Seven Churches of Asia” mentioned in the Book of Revelation 3:10, as “the church steadfast in faith, that had kept God’s word and endured patiently.” Philadelphia played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787. Philadelphia was one of the nation’s capitals during the Revolutionary War, and served as temporary US capital while Washington DC was under construction. John Winthrop (1587 –1649) a wealthy English Puritan lawyer, also a member of the Hartlib Circle, as well as an alchemist and follower of John Dee, sailed across the Atlantic on the Arbella, leading to the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.[95] On 12 June 1630, the Arbella led the small fleet bearing the next 700 settlers into Salem harbor. Salem may have inspired the city of Bensalem in Bacon’s New Atlantis, which was published in 1627. The settlement of Salem by Rosicrucians would explain the existence of witchcraft in the city, which would have given cause to the famous witch trails of 1692. Frances Yates notes that Dee’s influence later spread to Puritanism in the New World through John Winthrop’s son, John Winthrop, Jr., an alchemist and a follower of Dee. Winthrop used Dee’s esoteric symbol, the Monas Hieroglyphica, as his personal mark.[96] Winthrop’s arrival signaled the beginning of the Great Migration. The term Great Migration usually refers to the migration in this period of English settlers, primarily Puritans to Massachusetts and the warm islands of the West Indies, especially the sugar rich island of Barbados, 1630–40. From 1630 through 1640 approximately 20,000 colonists came to New England. They came in family groups (rather than as isolated individuals) and were motivated chiefly by a quest for freedom to practice their Puritan religion. Winthrop’s noted words, a “City upon a Hill,” refer to a vision of a new society, not just economic opportunity. Rev. George Phillips, the founder of the Congregational Church in America, arrived on the Arbella in 1630 with Governor Winthrop. In 1781, Phillips’s great-grandson, banker Dr. John Phillips, established Exeter Academy, a prestigious American private prep school in New Hampshire, and is one of the oldest secondary schools in the US. The Economist described the school as belonging to “an elite tier of private schools” in Britain and America that counts Eton and Harrow in its ranks. Exeter has a long list of famous former students, including Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Gore Vidal, Stewart Brand, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, novelist John Irving, and Dan Brown the author of The Da Vinci Code and the Masonic-inspired The Lost Symbol.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE RED PAPACY The injection of Marxist tenets into Roman Catholicism is meant
to undermine the economic and social structures of the lands where
it is preached - Baron Avro Manhattan His objective was to overturn the Vatican-Moscow alliance crafted by his leftist predecessors after the Second World War. He was, however, successful only for a short time. He also intended to restore the Catholic Austro-Hungarian Empire which had, to the horror of the Papacy, been destroyed after the First World War. These intentions for the return of autocratic papal rule made Pius XII the implacable enemy of left-wing Jews, Orthodox Christians, Jesuits and Red Papists everywhere. The leaders of these groups knew that if Pius XII got his way, and if popes as right-wing as he continued to reign from Vatican City, the world of the near and far future was not going to take shape according to their liking. As far as they were concerned Pius XII had to be the last right-wing "non-progressive" potentate to occupy the chair of St. Peter. After the Second World War, and spread of Communism throughout Europe and the world, powerful individuals within Holy See not only openly backed Communism, but secretly conceived a Socialism of their own, aimed at the subversion of existing political systems and the restoration total papal world control. Instead of a crude draconian Bolshevism despised by one and all, theirs was to be a relatively benign collectivist Socialism established with the approval of every slave under it. The resistance of men such as Pius XII - representing the old guard of autocrats - warned Red Papists to be careful and cunning when fomenting the particular kind of revolution they had in mind. With the death of Pius XII in 1958, a long era came to an end. From then on the Vatican's role in world affairs drastically changed, and those who opposed the swing to the left found themselves unable to return Catholicism to the way it had traditionally been, let alone improve it in healthy ways. The conflict between factions began because of a brute fact that
stared the Vatican in the face. Traditional religious belief was
sharply declining. Clearly the forthcoming age was one in which
the new generation believed not in medieval "infallible" theology,
but in humanity, science, materialism and intellectual progress.
Since nothing could be done to assuage the tide of individualism,
dissent and revolution, the Vatican decided to piggy-back on
whatever political leviathan dominated the future, be it Fascism
or Communism. Some bishops and cardinals favored one extreme, some
the other. The means were less important to the Church than the
end, that being the reinforcement and enhancement of its
perfidious mental and social control, this time under a carefully
crafted benign mask. Mistakes of the past had been well and truly
learned, and were not going to be repeated. The "New World Order"
a la Vatican was to be exactly that - a new order for a new world. LEFT: Pope John XXIII was born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli. Another
"People's Pope," he replaced Pius XII after his death in 1958. He
was an ardent left-wing or Red Papist who overturned many of his
predecessor's policies and actively strengthened the
Vatican-Moscow alliance. He was even favored as pope by Stalin
himself, as well as by other Marxist leaders throughout the world.
His opposition to Pius XII made him a favorite of the Kremlin. His
election as pope came as a major blow to right-wing Papists. It
meant that millions of Catholics throughout the world could now
vote for Communist politicians without threat of excommunication
and disgrace. Those extra votes were coveted by the leading
left-wing politicians in every country, who did whatever it took
to guarantee winning them. Conservatives decided to move toward
the left in order to win them. And so, from 1960 on, world
politics changed in ways that had hitherto been impossible. RIGHT:
Pope Paul VI was born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria
Montini. A close friend of John XXIII, he reigned as pope from
1963 to 1978. He went out of his way to fill the Sacred College
with leftist cardinals. His overtly "progressive" outlook warned
anti-Communist Papists of things to come. His main ally was the
pro-Communist Cardinal Benelli. The Jesuits' pursuance of the discarded policies of the former Vatican-Moscow alliance and their defiance against the new policies of the Vatican-Washington alliance brought the anger of Pope John Paul II upon their heads in a manner they had not experienced for centuries...Their General was dismissed and openly scolded, indeed "publicly humiliated" by the Pope - ibid The Jesuits were ordered to change their tactics. They coined
slogans more appropriate to the "present conditions;" the words
"radical" and "revolution" with such euphemisms as "profound
renewals" or "innovating changes," or "social renovation" - ibid LEFT: Pope John Paul II replaced John Paul I after his
assassination by agents of the Vatican-White House alliance. He
reigned as pope from 1978 to 2005. RIGHT: The Black Pope and head
Jesuit Pedro Arrupe was assassinated in 1991 by order of John Paul
II and his confederates in the US government. He and his Jesuits
had become something of an embarrassment to the new Red Papists
who shied away from appearing extreme leftists. The hardline
Socialism of the Jesuits suited the poor and downtrodden,
particularly in countries south of the equator. It was not as
suitable for the middle and upper-middle classes of north-western
climes. This is why the Jesuits were eventually compelled to fall
in line with the intrigues of the Red Papacy. Those who refused
were removed and replaced. John Paul II was shot four times by the Turkish patriot Mehmet
Ali Agca, who was caught and jailed. He was subsequently pardoned
by the Italian President and forgiven by the pope. John Paul
trained to be an actor and was far more interested in acting than
being pope. He had been turned down for ecclesiastical posts by
seniors who knew his heart wasn't in the job. It was primarily
because of the influence of his secret adviser Bishop Deskur that
he finally rose to occupy the chair of St. Peter. He was
profoundly arrogant and narcissistic and coveted the limelight.
His hidden masters had him travel far and wide, gaining worldwide
media attention. It was all part of the plan. John Paul II's brand
of Socialism was a modification of that preferred by his
predecessor John XXIII, but the headquarters of the new ideology
was to be centered in Vatican City not Moscow. This was the first
step to insinuate Vatican-approved Shadow Communism into the
west. It found countless adherents in the world's governments, and
its proponents are responsible for most of what we see taking
place in the socio-political world. Her opposition to world revolution is not caused by her wish to
save the freedom of the world, but by her wish to continue her old
fight against the freedom of the world - ibid The Roman Pontiff, constituted by God, above Kings and Kingdoms, is the supreme hierarch of the Church militant, and has obtained principality over all mortal men - (From De Romano Pontifice) We declare, define, establish and decree that every human
creature, under the rigid necessity of saving his soul, must be
subject to the Roman Pontiff - Pope Boniface VIII It was the cue the Red Papists or Shadow Communists had been
waiting for. It was an opportunity not to be missed. The game was
now on, and the Red Papists put their plan for restoration into
operation. Until the rise of Fascism in Italy and Germany they had
things their own way. As we said the Jesuits even went so far as
to take up extreme left-wing positions in countries they were
subverting. This position gave them the clout they needed to
withstand opposition from Russia and particularly from western
powers. It gave them the ideological arsenal they needed to not
only supervise and counter western powers, but eventually to
morally and politically undermine them. Pope John Paul II couldn't stay out of the headlines. His masters
had him align himself with the leftist Solidarity workers movement
of his native Poland, in order to make him popular to ordinary
liberal-minded folks indoctrinated into thinking of him as a
genuinely caring people's champion, seeking redress and justice
for all. The ruse worked a like a charm. The fact that Socialism is patently atheistic didn't disturb the love fest. It was a sticking point best not brought to the table. Why disturb the Realpolitik? So the decision to back hard Communism was never wholehearted on the part of the Red Papacy. It was favored only by the Jesuits who would be forced to go along with the new policy, come what may. It would not be an easy task because opposition to the plan, from Pius XII and other ardent right-wingers was relentless. But we cannot understand the present sociopolitical world until we grasp the significance of this rivalry. It accounts for almost every major political decision made since the death of John Paul I. It also helps us to determine the true nature of the allegiances and views expressed by this or that public figure. When we listen to statements made by Father Coughlin, Henry Ford, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, George Bush, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Soros, Bill Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld, Bob Geldof, Bono, Russell Brand, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro, Lech Walesa, Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair or Prince Charles, how do we correctly analyze what is being said and implied? Are their comments good for humanity in general, or will they lead to disaster?
Who's telling the truth? What should we believe? Baron Manhattan informs us of a previous setback for the
extremist faction within the Vatican. After the rise of Mussolini
and Hitler in Italy and Germany, pro-Communist Papists were forced
underground. To their horror a pact was signed between Hitler and
Pope Pius XI, known as the Lateran Treaty. For a while, for
followers of Pius XII, it looked as if all was right with the
world. Indeed, without the Catholic vote Hitler would never have
been able to come to power, despite the fact that Germany is
traditionally a Protestant country. What does this tell us about
other lands such as Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea, India, Africa,
and so on, where, as Baron Manhattan assures us, the hidden hand
of the Vatican is at work? The Vatican, convinced that Africa will become a Marxist or
Marxist-dominated continent, where the white presence will be
eliminated and with it the religion preached by white
missionaries, is creating an all-black hierarchy and clergy,
chosen chiefly because of their "progressive" ideas - Baron Avro
Manhattan Mussolini's heinous act showed humanity that Fascism can be as
dangerous as Communism. Publicly supplying additional powers to
the Papacy would be the last thing on the mind of anyone truly
concerned with the physical and spiritual welfare of the human
race. LEFT: President Richard Nixon. RIGHT: President Ronald Reagan. Like George Bush and other presidents before them, they took their instructions from representatives of the Vatican. Nixon, Bush and Reagan worked with the CIA and the Vatican to smuggle Nazis and Croatian fascist (Ustasi) killers to safety in America, Britain and South America. This was at the behest of the Papacy, the expert manipulators of the world stage, playing right against left, Nazi against Communist, rich against poor, for their own sinister empowerment. The three American presidents, along with their CIA co-conspirators, were ordered to destroy records that recorded secret deals between the Papacy and the fascists of Germany and Croatia. Also suppressed was the evidence showing that a great bulk of the Nazi loot had been transferred to the Vatican from Switzerland at the close of World War II. Although done in the name of anti-Communism, we see that the Red Papists weren't truly adverse to Communism. That was just the expedient stance which enabled their vile deeds against humanity to receive the stamp of approval from authentic anti-Communist leaders. The Papacy dons whatever hat suits the occasion. In this way their agents are warmly received by courts and governments of every political extreme. The complete legal immunity enjoyed by envoys, priests, bishops and cardinals, allows them to move sensitive documents, cash, gold and jewels to all corners of the globe without search or suspicion. Thus, the Vatican's spy network is second to none. As Baron Manhattan shows, it is this sovereign unaccountable leviathan that directs world events and decides which of their loyal deputies finds himself elected to political power. Nixon's speeches were ghostwritten by the Jesuit Reverend John
McLaughlin. Reagan spoke regularly by phone with his bosom buddy
Pope John Paul II, who shamelessly backed extremist Catholic mass
murderers in Croatia, South America and elsewhere. The Red Papists
were intent on ingratiating themselves with western demagogues and
frequently looked the other way when atrocities were committed by
the latter. In some cases, they even endorsed acts of war and
terror perpetrated by western governments. More disastrously, they
saw to it that men under their control assumed top positions in
major western political institutions, security orgs and financial
corporations. Baron Manhattan shows the extent of the Vatican's
financial wealth and global power in his masterpiece Vatican
Billions. In the run up to his election, Ronald Reagan told the
American people that if he was elected he was going to fight for
families "...in the spirit of John Paul II." He said "...I
reaffirm to you my pledge, in the spirit of Pope John Paul II,
that I will do all I can to see that common good is once more the
true goal of decision making." Without the votes of America's
Catholics, Reagan had no chance of becoming president. He was the
Vatican's man, like so many before and after him. By 1984, the
Vatican-Washington alliance was signed, sealed and delivered by
all concerned. LEFT: Roberto Calvi was an Italian banker found hanging under Blackfriar's Bridge in London. The year was 1982. Officially his murder has never been satisfactorily explained. The murder and the meltdown of his bank (Banco de Ambrosiano) occurred because he and his Masonic overlord, the notorious Licio Gelli (RIGHT), attempted to rip off millions of dollars to set themselves up. Their embezzlement and fraud was probably a response to the rise of the Red Papacy. Calvi, Gelli, and their associates in the right-wing Freemasonic P2 lodges of Italy, were incensed by the changes they saw happening in Rome and throughout the rest of the country. Realizing that things were only to get worse for their kind, Calvi and Gelli planned their exit strategy, which soon backfired. Although this criminal act involved Catholic right-wingers, the
Vatican itself was involved in a far worse case of financial
chicanery and criminality. According to informed researchers, the
Vatican was undoubtedly the destination of the bulk of the Nazi
billions stashed away in Swiss banks which had to be moved once
the Allies approached Germany toward the end of World War II. Some
of the wealth was transported to Belgian banks (a country
dominated by the Catholic branch of the "Black Nobility"), while
the bulk crossed over into Italy. One of the main architects of
this treasonous act was Allen Dulles, director of the CIA. (Here
for more on the infamous Dulles-Vatican conspiracy...) Adolf Hitler did not save and strengthen Germany. On the contrary, he destroyed it. He was a British and Red Papist agent from day one. His job was to remove legitimate right-wing forces that were arising to destroy Communism within Germany and elsewhere. His mission was the complete destruction of Germany; a process that had been in the works from before the Franco-Prussian and First World Wars. This is why the Nazi experiment failed as it was meant to fail. It accounts for the flagrant misrepresentation of the term "Aryan," and for the promotion of Ariosophy. It accounts for the millions of deutche marks that mysteriously awaited Hitler in Berlin, his conspicuously shortened prison sentence and popularity of his book Mein Kampf. It accounts for why the word Socialist appears in the Nazi party's title, and why Hitler attended the funeral of leading revolutionary Jewish-Communist Kurt Eisner. It explains the heinous "Night of the Long Knives," and presence within the Nazi Party of British agents such as Hjalmar Schacht, Karl Haushofer, Admiral Canaris, and others. It accounts for the marginalization, removal and covert murder of true Germans such as Erich von Ludedorff, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, and others, and the otherwise inexplicable coldness toward Sir Oswald Mosley, the British Fascist leader. It accounts for the infamous Hitler-Stalin Pact, the disastrous Operation Barbarossa, and failure to deal the deathblow to Allied forces at Dunkirk. It accounts for the leniency toward wealthy Jews after Hitler's initial rise to power, the Haavara Agreement, and leniency towards Jewish Freemasonic lodges, while age-old Germanic lodges were closed. It explains the importation of thousands of German Communists previously stationed in Russia as part of the Hitler-Stalin pact. It accounts for Rudolf Hess's secret flight to England and for the close ties between the Nazis and American and British bankers. It also accounts for the planned and expected seizure of East Germany and many other neighboring countries by Communists at the war's end, and for the decades long Cold War. Most importantly, it accounts for the destruction, by way of planned mass ritual murder, of the best Anglo-Saxon blood - British and German. It is no mere coincidence that the last two German Chancellors prior to Hitler's assumption of power were Catholics...and the intimate friends of the Papal Nuncio. It is also no mere coincidence that both strove to rule with Hitler, indeed, not only did they invite him to share their Governments, but it was chiefly thanks to them that Hitler was finally asked to form a Government...At the head of the new Germany, and second only to Hitler, there stood the German Vice-Chancellor, the Leader of the Catholic Party, the personal friend of Pacelli (Pius XII), the Papal Knight Franz von Papen - Avro Manhattan (Catholic Imperialism) Adolf Hitler was a Catholic. Acting as leader of the German state, he signed a concordant with the Vatican in 1934 in which it was agreed that he would restore Church privilege and protect Church assets in Germany in return for Roman Catholic political endorsement and support - Richard Kelly Hoskins (In the Beginning) No wonder that, after the end of the war, the man placed in
charge of taxing Germany's Protestant landowners of their wealth
(to pay war trumped-up war debts) was Catholic finance minister
Matthias Erzberger. No wonder that after the war years, the great
General Erich von Ludendorff openly stated that Germany's fall and
ruin was undoubtedly due to the intrigues of Masons, Jews and
Jesuits. Because of the fast, furious and largely unhindered spread of
Communism throughout the world, after the Second World War, the
pro-Communist factions within the Church, and Jesuit Order, went
over the top in their support of Communistic policies and causes.
It was not a clever move because it only helped identify them to
their enemies in the US and elsewhere. At some point the Vatican
realized that the Bolshevik form of Communism, propagated in so
many conquered lands, was irredeemably corrupt and unsustainable.
Ultimately, the future of humanity was not hard to predict for men
of this caliber. The image of the Vatican was tarnished because of
Catholicism's close links with ruthless Communist regimes. The
extremist orientation had to be downplayed if people were to
continue trusting the Church. And so moderate cardinals were able
to put their long-term schemes to work. The alliance between the
Vatican and the White House was made top priority, and sealed
during the reign of John Paul II. Pius XII rolled and groaned in
his grave. Eventually the Jesuits (directed by the Red Papacy) installed
their double-agent, Cardinal Francis Spellman, right in the center
of the action, directing presidents Kennedy and Nixon toward
greater and greater mishaps and human-rights violations. As far as
the Jesuits were concerned, if Catholicism was to make headway in
the Far East, in countries such as China, Vietnam, Malaysia and
India, the West had to be perpetually demonized, something the
Jesuit Order excelled at doing. In Vietnam, chaos reigned over the
installation of the US-backed dictator President Diem. After his
assassination, the Communists nearly took hold of South Vietnam,
and Communism was certainly strengthened in North Vietnam as the
war fury in the region escalated. President Diem was murdered at
the behest of the CIA and the ambassador to South Vietnam, Averell
Harriman, who as a senior Skull and Bones man, took his orders
directly from Cardinal Spellman. ABOVE: The head Jesuit and Black Pope, Cardinal Francis Spellman,
with gangster-presidents John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. He was
the brain behind the Vietnam War, which was known as "Spelly's
War." He was the best spy money could buy. Posing as an ardent
right-winger - with a hatred of Communists - he, along with Allen
Dulles and other cronies, worked to bring destruction to America.
American politics continues to be supervised and directed by
advisers from Georgetown University, Fordham University, Boston
College, and other Jesuit-controlled institutions such as the
Council on Foreign Relations. The Jesuits eventually fell in line
with the Red Papists, realizing that phase one of their
master-plan had succeeded, and that a new more moderate tactic was
indeed required, if the subversion of western Capitalism was to
successfully continue. The first feelings of goodwill toward new Vatican relations began during World War I. When it appeared that the Allies would emerge as victors, the Vatican began passive cooperation with the US, as a useful intelligence transmitter...At the height of the European crisis, President Roosevelt surreptitiously bypassed the 1867 ban by sending a "personal representative" to the Vatican on the grounds that it gave America "a good listening post"...On October 1951, President Truman, eager to enlist the growing Catholic vote, stunned even his own party, along with the rest of the US, only hours before the recess of the Senate, by announcing the nomination of a US ambassador to the Vatican...Early in 1984, the US established full diplomatic relations with the Vatican, ending 116 years of diplomatic vacuum. The step took America by surprise...The process began during the Cold War after World War II, when minor and major nations started to woo the Holy See. It continued after the Vatican-Moscow alliance which followed. Countries which preceded the US move included Finland and Denmark in 1982, and Sweden in 1983. Even England, after four and a half centuries, reestablished diplomatic ties with the Vatican in 1982. In less than two decades, the Vatican had been recognized as a predominant diplomatic center by more than 120 nations... ...When the US was born, the pope was king of a large territory
in central Italy known as the Papal States. Yet the US government
totally ignored the Vatican both as a state and even more as a
church. In 1797, the young American nation commissioned an Italian
citizen, B. Sartori, to represent her interests in the Vatican.
Fifty years later, President Polk, owing to increased problems
with the Papal States, opened diplomatic relations with the
Vatican. Resentment in the US began to build immediately and soon
the forced closing of a Presbyterian church in Rome caused
Congress to end the relations. Finally, in 1867, at the instance
of the New York Times, a law was passed forbidding any government
funding for a Vatican ambassador. Three years later the Papal
States disappeared when they were forcibly annexed by a reunited
Kingdom of Italy which made Rome its official Capital. This ended
the secular status of the pope as head of state. Subsequent
attempts to reestablish diplomatic relations failed mostly because
of active resistance of the Protestant establishment - Baron Avro
Manhattan Another reason why the Jesuits were loathe to distance themselves
from the Soviets had to do with their excellent intelligence
gathering operations. They were able to combine their age-old
capacity for espionage with the comparably formidable secret
worldwide spy networks established by Stalin and previous Soviet
leaders. This apparatus was an asset that would not be easily and
willingly sacrificed. LEFT: Harold Laski. RIGHT: The psychopathic Stalinist V. K.
Krishna Menon was promoted by Prime Minister Nehru to India's
Minister of Defense. So much for the neutrality of India after
achieving its so-called "independence" in 1947. Officially a
pacifist, Menon promptly armed India to the teeth, and pushed for
tight diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia. But where did Nehru
find Menon? In London's School of Economics. Menon was trained by
the notorious Fabian Harold Laski. His Marxist views influenced
most of Britain's leftist politicians from the 1930s on. Laski
served as Chairman of the British Labor Party from 1945 to 1946,
and was the most eminent political intellectual in Britain for
some time. The first president of a "free" India, Nehru, was an
admirer of Laski, which is why he sought out and hired Menon.
Laski was a executive member of the Fabian Party for over ten
years, and was closely associated with the Frankfurt School. He
made certain that the leftist political-scientist Franz Leopold
Neumann was promoted. The Jewish Neumann played a key role in the
Nuremberg Trials, supervising and amending the prosecution cases
against Nazi defendants such as Alfred Rosenberg and Hermann
Goering, etc. Neumann was a senior member of the Rockefeller
Foundation. After his death, Neumann's wife married arch
Neo-Marxist Herbert Marcuse, Laski's closest friend. Through these
overtly Marxist thinkers, the Shadow Communist plan for world
domination was invented and facilitated. That these men were often
avowed atheists did not stop them creating an alliance with the
Red Papacy. The Shadow Communists are careful to conceal their
presence and true agenda from the public. This is one reason
they've been so successful. Indeed, since the end of the Second
World War, almost every teacher and professor in Indian schools,
colleges and universities has been a card-carrying Marxist. This
remains the case today. Some extremists within Soviet Russia and other Communist
countries realized Rome's predicament and sought to strengthen
Zionism for their own purposes. During Stalin's reign, the Soviets
attempted to downplay the Jewish role in Communism, and as a
result they supported Jewish immigration to Israel. Other
countries followed suit, simply to be rid of their own Jewish
populations. The Jesuits could only look on in horror. The rise of
Israel was a major hitch in their plans for the future of the
world. From the 1950s on, they've had to work harder to recruit
Jewish intellectuals and activists to their dastardly cause. The
only good to come out of it, was that Jesuit agents were able
henceforth to blame Zionists for any and all conspiracies and
upheavals that occur throughout the world, many of their (the
Jesuits) making. The Catholic conspiratorial hand has been at work
longer than the Zionist hand. (Here for more...) Like Gentiles, Jews are split into contingents of rich and poor, privileged and humble. religious and atheistic. The privileged tend to lean toward right-wing politics, hence the rise of Zionism and Neo-Conservatism. With this in mind, we see that while left-wing Jews (the majority) cheered the Papacy's turn toward Socialism, right-wingers and Zionists (the minority of Jews) probably saw the change as problematic and even spurious. Conversely, the Jesuits were not thrilled by the rise of Zionism and Neo-Conservatism, which are essentially right-wing and Capitalistic. Indeed the Zionist state of Israel could simply not exist without enormous donations from the world's richest Jews and Gentiles. For those intent on fomenting world revolution (workers against the wealthy), Zionism and Neo-Conservatism were nothing but obscene impediments. Jesuits and Red Papists worried that the stronger Zionism became, and the more converts it won to its cause, the less chance they had of succeeding in their own geopolitical intrigues. Consequently the Jesuits and their Gentile agents started assiduously backing the Palestinian cause. The Middle-East conflict has been needlessly prolonged because of the Jesuits and their covert opposition of Zionism. Ironically, some of the most powerful and wealthy Jews, such as the Rothschilds, were instrumental in the rise of the Red Papacy. Jewish dynasties are themselves divided over their allegiances. Some align with and finance Zionism, while others are in sympathy with the neo-Marxist Red Papacy. The fact is that all Jewish societies and aspirations survived to the present day because of the secret patronage of the Crown and the Cross. Judaism would long ago have been wiped from the face of the earth if the Crown and Holy See desired that end. The Red Papacy may not like the overt Capitalism of the average Zionist, but they have more to lose by actively denouncing Zionists, who are bound to retaliate (as well-meaning Protestants once did) by dragging the Vatican's crimes through their synagogues and headlines. This is certainly not in the Red Papacy's interest, and so a truce of sorts has been decided upon. To overtly cajole Zionists brings the Red Papacy into conflict with the White House which wholeheartedly supports Zionism and Israel. This, again, is not something desired by the Vatican whose diplomatic relations with America were cemented only recently. Moreover, throughout history the Jew has made a very useful scion and lieutenant. His survival depends upon his secret fealty to the Cross and/or Crown. This is the case for the Rothschilds (Knights of Malta and keepers of the Vatican's treasury), and many other plutocratic Hofjuden (Court Jews). The Rothschilds were Jesuits who used their Jewish background as a facade to cover their sinister activities. The Jesuits, working through Rothschild and Biddle, sought to gain control of the banking system of the United States - Bill Hughes (The Secret Terrorists) Aware that the Rothschilds are an important Jewish family, I looked them up in Encyclopedia Judaica and discovered that they bear the title “Guardians of the Vatican Treasury”…The appointment of Rothschild gave the black papacy absolute financial power and secrecy. Who would ever search a family of orthodox Jews for the key to the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church? - F. Tupper Saussy (Rulers of Evil) In other words, the world conspiracy was not devised and designed by Jews. Although Jews have no allegiance with any Gentile nation, and have been used as chess pieces in most Gentile plots for world domination, they have never risen above the power of the Atonist-Masonic "Black Lodge" or "Black Nobility." This elite group includes families within the College of Cardinals, who artfully promote and reward Jews (and others) for acting as scapegoats and fall-guys when and if the need arises, and being in history's headlines as the foremost political malefactors. Along with their close ally, British Intelligence, the Red Papacy are the architects of the never ending Israel-Palestine conflict. This conflict, like so many others in history, is funded by the world's wealthiest men, the world's wealthiest Socialists and Islamo-Communists, the world's deadliest present threat. See my article Jews and Templars: The Untold Story, for more on
the Jewish role in world conspiracy. (Here and Here for more on subversive Christian groups)
LEFT: The Pope kisses the Koran. Pope John Paul II, like other
popes after him, flew to every corner of the globe, kissing and
schmoozing with potentates of the world's religions. Pius XII was
probably turning in his grave. No right-wing pope would have
sanctioned ecumenicalism of this kind. The message from the
Vatican is that "We may have become neo-Marxists, but we did so in
the name of Christ. What's more, we aren't theologically exclusive
any longer. We are all one big global family." Fabians and Jesuits
everywhere were onboard and delighted. This move by the Red
Papists was probably a response to the rise of Zionism as well as
atheism. For Red Papists and Jesuits, right-wing Zionism is more
to be feared than Soviet Communism. Ironically, the atheism of the
latter is closer to the gospel espoused by Jesus than the
Yahwistic Messianism and unashamed Capitalism of the former. In 1949, about 40 senators and 105 representatives introduced the Atlantic Union Resolution which called for a convention to strengthen the UN and establish a world government...The Atlantic Union Committee included many CFR members, while Rockefeller provided rent free space for its headquarters - Gurudas (Treason: The New World Order) The U.N. is the chosen instrument for ushering in the ultimate One World Government. It places itself above the U.S. Constitution in defiance of the U.S. Constitution - Dr. John Coleman (Obama's America)
Yes, it's a massive job running a country the size of America. It's even more difficult running the world. The colossal problem was soon solved by the creation of massive bureaucratic organizations such as the United Nations. As its twelve-starred emblem reveals, this leviathan and its commissars serve to implement the policies of the Red Papacy. The multinational orgs that grew out of the Bretton Woods Agreement and Maastricht, Lisbon and Rome Treaties, were the brainchildren of Red Papists and their Jewish and Gentile agents. The existence and global policies of these orgs ensures that the overarching theological and political agendas of the Red Papacy cannot be contradicted and overturned by any other group. The shadowy commissioners behind the EU are almost exclusively Red Papists, with little love for Capitalism and the west. The Red Papacy learned how to manipulate and use multinational organizations for their own benefit after 1920, when the League of Nations was established. At first the Vatican was opposed to the organization, but when numerous Latin American countries flocked to join the League, and for the first time enjoyed political clout to change the course of world affairs, the Vatican had no choice but to change its spots and align with the League. From then on the Vatican, as well as the Jesuits, have made excellent use of the United Nations organization which succeeded the League of Nations. The various disposable politicians leading the Latin American countries, voting for this and that policy at the United Nations and other globalist leviathans, are merely glove-puppets controlled by unseen Red Papists whose diplomatic power has been vastly increased by way of intergovernmental organizations of this kind. The so-called "New World Order" agenda would not have taken hold as an idea or a reality without this largely secretive but highly efficient alliance between the Red Papacy, League of Nations, United Nations and EU. By way of this enhancement of power the Shadow Communists were finally able to insinuate their agents into the corridors of power in America, Britain and other countries throughout Europe and the world.
The Red Papacy, as an entity, is the result of the infiltration of Catholicism by agents of the Luciferian Knights Templar. The subversion was attempted more than once throughout history and finally succeeded in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. (For more on this subject, see my article Jews and Templars: The Untold Story.) The Red Papacy exercises considerable power through orgs such as
the Council on Foreign Relations. It has agents within numerous
secret societies, such as Opus Dei, Knights of St. Patrick,
Knights of Columbus, Skull and Bones Society and Bohemian Club,
etc. Members and agents of these societies and orgs control the
banks and corporate world, not to mention the many non-profit
foundations and so-called "philanthropic" associations. It is Red
Papacy agents in government who contrive these bizarre political
liaisons between this or that head of state. It's all made for TV.
Men who attempted to expose how secret societies work to subvert
national sovereignty and direct national and global policies -
such as Anthony Sutton, John Coleman, and others - have been
forcibly silenced and ridiculed. Recent presidents of the United States have been ardently left-wing. This is because they are selected by the Red Papists. Thanks to its many advocates and stooges, Shadow Communism a la Red Papacy moves full steam ahead. The Capitalist west is thoroughly crippled, and the final humiliation is soon to come, when the Far East sends its money and industry to prop-up a bankrupt America. The patriarchs of the Red Papacy have expertly eviscerated America on many levels, and via their Hofjuden agents in the Federal Reserve, they have succeeded in emptying America's coffers, dispossessing the people who have no idea what is happening, expertly distracted by never ending media spectacles and petty faux rivalries. Had America supported Germany against Britain during the First and Second World Wars, it would have been so inherently strong in the post-war years that the Red Papacy and its agents would never have been able to insinuate themselves, as they had done in South America, and would never have been in a position to subvert the country before it had time to develop beyond its infancy period. …former Senator Danforth threatened the recalcitrant FBI director
Louis Freeh with a search warrant. It is a pity that he did not
get one. He might, in the process, have discovered a bit more

secretive international Roman Catholic order dedicated to getting
its membership into high political, corporate, and religious

he and his director, Louis Freeh…“not only were both members of

belonged to the local chapter of Opus Dei” - Gore Vidal (Perpetual
War for Perpetual Peace) LEFT: Financier George Soros. RIGHT: Russian president Vladimir
Putin. Both men are Vatican agents. Putin is the latest in a long
line of key movers and shakers placed in charge of the Red
Papacy's policy for world control. His version of Shadow Communism
furthers the Red Papacy's desire for the obliteration of national
soverignty, Capitalism, class and gender division. His agents are
behind the conflicts that exist between Islam and the west, and
between extremist groups on the left and right. Putin expertly
directs faux White Supremacists, Muslim terrorists and sinister
west-hating Chinese factions in their related schemes to undermine
western economies, western security and western morale. Some
researchers imagine Putin to be a Zionist stooge. In our mind, he
and the billionaire Jews (Sabbateans) surrounding him are all
efficient lieutenants of the Red Papacy (and Templars). Room has been made by the victors for other factions and cadres
to exist and spar, such as Zionists, Muslim Brotherhood, Christian
fundamentalists, Mormons, Anarchists, People's movements, Social
Justice Warriors, or what have you. No problem there. One needs a
little variety to spice things up, and if needs be to lead
attention away from where you don't want it focusing. The clashes
between these factions makes a great gladiator's arena spectacle.
But despite the appearance of diversity there is barely a bona
fide right-wing movement anywhere to be found. The last legitimate
cleric to stand up against the Red Papacy was Archbishop Marcel
Lefebvre of France. After his death in 1991, there has been little
open resistance to the Shadow Communists of Vatican City. Most
recent so-called right-wing movements are of the faux variety. The
very term "right-wing" now serves mostly as a diatribe to
stigmatize and ostracize any person or group with the temerity to
challenge the Red Papacy and its many "progressive" agents. Baron Avro Manhattan was the greatest exposer of the Vatican and its many agents and intrigues. We highly recommend his superlative works, Vatican Billions, The Vatican-Moscow-Washington Alliance, The Vatican in World Politics, Vatican Holocaust, Catholic Imperialism and World Freedom, The Dollar and the Vatican, Latin America and the Vatican, Murder in the Vatican, and Vietnam: Why Did We Go?

It was a widespread practice at the time for small countries to rent out troops to larger countries in exchange for subsidies. International jurists drew a distinction between mercenaries and auxiliaries (Hilfstruppen). Mercenaries served in foreign armies as individuals, while auxiliaries were sent by their prince to the aid of another prince.[2] Hesse-Kassel took the practice to an extreme, maintaining 5.3% of its population under arms in 1730.[3] This was a higher proportion than even Prussia,[3] a country that was so heavily militarized that it was described as "not a country with an army, but an army with a country". The Hessian army served as a readily-available reserve for the Great Powers.[4] During the American War of Independence, 25% of the British army consisted of troops rented from German princes, half of whom came from Hesse-Kassel and nearby Hesse-Hanau. For this reason, Americans refer to all German troops serving with the British armies as "Hessians".[5] a form of synecdoche. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landgraviate_of_Hesse-Kassel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The llluminati The Shabbatean Frankists A new order would be formed within Freemasonry, a secret society

This delicate task requires a historically-grounded progressive political framework which, while taking a backseat to realpolitik, remains pertinent. While the mainstream left refuses to acknowledge any hint of conspiracy, no matter the number of footnotes; the Alex Jones “right/left paradigm is dead” crowd, while open to deep politics, leans right ideologically, enabling the banker cabal in its quest for global hegemony via 18th century mercantilism – the purest form of capitalism ever practiced. It is incredibly naïve to believe that the Illuminati bankers wish to usher in communism as their economic model. The real world tells us that wealth is not being redistributed. It is being concentrated in the hands of the few at historic levels. The left’s problem lies in naiveté and cowardice, and in its inability to deconstruct the brutal state capitalism imposed via the Soviet Union. The libertarian conspiracy crowd lacks a background in political theory – their Cato Institute is funded by the same corporations that fund the two major political parties. They too have been brainwashed since birth by the mysterious events that culminated in the Soviet Union. An analysis of these events is key to understanding the Red Scare, which haunts an increasingly extreme right-wing American political landscape and hinders our ability to formulate practical economic solutions that incorporate both capitalistic and socialistic economic tenants. It also goes a long way in explaining the incredible naiveté of the American mainstream “left”. In 1822 Russia’s Czar Alexander banned Freemasonry from his country. When Czar Nicholas took the throne he renewed the ban, but the secret society went underground and survived. Karl Marx was a member of the League of the Just which later became the Communist League. The group was an off-shoot of the Society of Seasons, which had close ties to the Grand Orient Freemason Lodge of Paris. Frederick Engel was a wealthy German industrialist. [714] Marx and Engel were driven by the philosophies of Freidrich Hegel, whose now infamous Hegelian dialectic put forth a process whereby opposites thesis and antithesis are reconciled into synthesis. Though Hegel’s philosophy was adopted by Marx, it was equally attractive to Adolf Hitler and the Rothschild Business Roundtable that sponsored him. The Roundtable saw in the dialectic a boon to their monopolies by presenting phony communism (antithesis) as bogeyman to capitalism (thesis). The ensuing conflict – the Cold War – produced a huge market for arms and oil which their trusts manufactured. Genuine revolutionary struggle in the Third World could be labeled as a “Soviet communist conspiracy” and more arms could then be sent to depopulate the undesirable poor, dispensing of agitators who threatened Roundtable interests. The pure application of communism, which indigenous peoples practiced for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Annunaki invaders in Sumeria, was the real threat to the “special bloodline” international bankers. By upholding Soviet state capitalism to all the world as an example of “failed Communism”, the bankers could discredit this dangerous idea while producing their desired synthesis – a New World Order ruled by the Illuminati banking families and Black Nobility monarchs, with laissez-faire monopoly capitalism as their economic paradigm. The Russian Hohenzollern family monarchy to which the czars belonged wasn’t playing ball. They grew suspicious of the Freemasons, who they knew to be agents of the international bankers. In 1915 the American International Corporation (AIC) was formed to finance a Russian revolution aimed at deposing the Hohenzollerns and launching the banker’s grand Hegelian experiment. AIC directors included Frank Vanderlip, who two years prior had attended the secret Jekyll Island meetings that formulated the private Federal Reserve; and George Herbert Walker, grandfather of George Bush Sr. The families of Rockefeller, Rothschild, Du Pont, Kuhn, Loeb, Schiff and Harriman were represented on AIC’s board. [715] WWI was looming and the Allied powers needed to open a diversionary front against the Germans. Russian Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky left New York by ship on March 27, 1917, just days before the US entered WWI. He had with him a US passport, 300 revolutionaries and a wad of cash supplied by the Wall Street banker crowd. Twelve days earlier Czar Nicholas II had stepped down amidst an uprising launched by genuine anarchist revolutionaries, inspired by the writings of the Russian philosopher Kropotkin, who preached revolution followed by immediate decentralization of power, a sharp contrast to the iron-fisted state capitalist control under which Russia was about to fall. The anarchists struck fear into the heart of Wall Street, so they dispatched Trotsky to derail their Menshevik plans. As Trotsky and his Reds sailed east, Vladimir Lenin left Switzerland in a sealed train with 150 more “revolutionaries” and $5 million in cash. The train passed through Germany without inspection thanks to banker Max Warburg’s intervention. Meanwhile, fifteen international bankers under Red Cross cover traveled to Petrograd to provide additional financing to the Bolsheviks and to make off with Russia’s gold reserves, just as they would later make off with German gold reserves following WWII and Chinese gold reserves after the 1949 Revolution.[716] Prince Lvov, who replaced the deposed Czar Nicholas II, and his successor Alexander Kerensky both publicly denounced Trotsky and Lenin as German intelligence agents. The war between Mensheviks and Bolsheviks lasted until 1922. Some 28 million Russians died. The unruly anarchists were eventually disposed of and the Roundtable crowd launched its “antithesis” in Moscow. Trotsky and Lenin were likely unaware they were being used by the bankers. Trotsky fled to Mexico City, where he was murdered by Stalin’s agents in 1940. Lenin died in 1924. He had by then identified the powerful forces behind his ascent as “monopoly finance capitalists”. Towards the end of his life he wrote, “The state does not function as we desired. A man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. It moves as another force wishes.”[717] John D. Rockefeller, Nathan Rothschild, Max Warburg, Jacob Schiff and J. Pierpont Morgan seized the new Soviet opportunity. Their Four Horsemen always had interests in Russia. The Rothschild and Nobel families discovered oil in Baku in 1898 with their Far East Trading Company, but anarchist oilfield revolutionaries burned their newly renamed Royal Dutch/Shell installations to the ground. By 1922 Rockefeller’s Chase National Bank launched the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce. In 1925 Chase negotiated a deal with Soviet Prombank to market Russia’s raw materials to the West, while helping the Bolsheviks import cotton and machinery. Chase and its sister insurance conglomerate Equitable Trust led the way in providing credit to the Soviets, selling Bolshevik bonds in the US by 1928 with help from Morgan Guaranty. Rep. Louis McFadden (D-NY), chair of the House Banking Committee, remarked, “The Soviet government has been given US Treasury funds by the Federal Reserve Banks acting through Chase Bank and Guaranty Trust Company…Find out what business has been transacted for the State Bank of the Soviet Union by its correspondent bank, Chase Bank of New York.”[718] The chaos caused by the Bolshevik Revolution had been a boon to Rockefeller oil interests by eliminating much of Standard Oil’s competition in Russia. In 1926 Standard Oil of New York (Mobil) loaned $75 million to the Bolsheviks in exchange for exclusive rights to market Soviet oil in Europe. Mobil built a refinery in Russia. In 1969 Rockefeller’s International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC) – which later gave birth to the draconian Caribbean Basin Initiative – formed a partnership with N.M. Rothschild & Sons of London. Rockefeller’s partner in IBEC was Cleveland financier and industrialist Cyrus Eaton. The Rockefellers, Rothschilds and Eatons made huge profits facilitating Soviet trade with the West. In 1976 they signed an exclusive licensing and patent deal with Licensintorg, giving them a monopoly on technology transfer to the Soviets. President Nixon forged detente with the Soviets and Chinese following the Vietnam War in 1973. That year also brought the Arab oil embargo, the pegging of oil to the US dollar, the launch of oil futures markets and the advent of a burgeoning Eurodollar market in London. Soon after Nixon held the detente summits with his counterparts Leonid Brezhnev and Zhou En-lai, Chase Manhattan opened a branch in Moscow and started a correspondent banking relationship with the Bank of China. [719] Nixon appointed William Casey to head the Export-Import Bank. Casey was a CFR insider and leading Knight of Malta. He later managed Ronald Reagan’s 1980 October Surprise Presidential Campaign and was appointed CIA Director. At ExIm Bank Casey financed one of the grandest industrial schemes in history, the world’s largest truck factory at the Kama River in the Soviet Union. The factory was built by Pullman Corporation and was financed 10% by the Soviets, 45% by ExIm Bank and 45% by Chase Manhattan, where David Rockefeller was now chairman. Chase risked nothing since its money was guaranteed by the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and Foreign Credit Insurance Association. If the Russians failed to pay the loans back, US taxpayers were on the hook for 90% of the Kama money. George Schultz – CFR, Bechtel and Chevron Texaco director who was Reagan’s Secretary of State – was key to the Kama River deal. Casey provided an ExIm Bank loan for Schultz’ Bechtel to build a Permindex-affiliated International Trade Center in Moscow in a deal arranged by Occidental Petroleum scion and Tennessee Gore political dynasty sponsor Armand Hammer. Other Casey ExIm Bank loans funded oil and gas pipelines and petrochemical and fertilizer plants. [720] The US detente with the Soviets and China had more to do with a thirst for new energy supplies by the Four Horsemen than it did with grandiose statements of “promoting world peace”. China has huge oil deposits off its Senkaka Island in the East China Sea. Just northeast of Senkaka lie the Soviet Sakhalin Islands, an area that contains massive oil and gas deposits. The Soviet regions of Siberia and the Caspian Sea were even bigger oil prizes. As Chase Manhattan Senior Vice-President Albert Wentworth put it, “The Soviet Union is the last great undeveloped market for the US.” Columnist Paul Scott hit the nail more squarely on the head when he wrote in 1976, “It is Kissinger’s belief that by controlling food one can control people, and by controlling energy – especially oil – one can control nations and their financial systems. By placing food and oil under international control along with the world’s monetary system, Kissinger is convinced a loosely knit world government can become a reality by 1980.” Nixon Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz once bragged that through USAID’s P.L. 480 program the US employed “food as a weapon”, doling out food to nations who agree to follow IMF mandates, while withholding food from those who don’t. Just as Kissinger’s IAE benefits the Four Horsemen of Oil – Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco and Royal Dutch/Shell; P. L. 480 enriches the Four Horsemen of Grain – Cargill Continental, Louis Dreyfus, Bunge and Andre. As Chilean Minister of Agriculture Jacques Chonchol said, “Whoever controls food exports controls the world.”[721] The Soviet Union was an artificial construct cooked up by the Illuminati bankers to create profitable conflict and, more importantly, to confuse the world’s population in the arena of political economy. The Red Scare they manufactured has become a Red Scar on the American psyche. Notes: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On the Asiatic Brethren - A
Study into the Construction of our Occult Past, Part 1 The work for this essay originally began with my research into the short-lived German occult order of the Asiatic Brethren in 2013. Since then it expanded significantly and helped me immensely to understand the syncretic furnace we call our occult tradition of the West. Most of all it taught me two things: First, that most stories as legendary and mythical as they might sound still contain at least a small grain of truth. And secondly, that often this grain of truth has no resemblance whatsoever to the stories we tell ourselves and call 'our tradition'. Of course this short essay will be flawed as well. It will be flawed as I am not an academic student of the history of religions myself and can only piece this work together during private spare time. It will also be flawed because I don't speak Hebrew - a fact in itself that disqualifies me for much of this work according to my own standards. On the other hand, however, at least I am a native German speaker and thus can explore all the first-hand sources of the Asiatic Brethren as far as I have access to them today. Furthermore - and maybe more importantly - I don't hold any occult agenda or affiliation. I am not part of any occult order and have no interest in occult lineages whatsoever. Instead what drives me is to better understand what drove the people before me? If we are dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants, we might want to better understand where these giants came from? And wether it's any worthwhile being carried around by them, sitting quietly on their shoulders? Or wether it could be much more adventurous to jump off them - and find our own paths. After all at least for the last two millennial magic has been the discipline of heresy. Thus we should be careful with acknowledging any orthodoxy. Even when it comes to our own occult past. LVX, P.S. This essay will first appear as a series of blog posts on www.theomagica.com. Once completed, I will re-edit it and offer it for free download as a consolidated eBook. I) Introduction: On the construction of Occult Memory One of the fascinating features of the ‘communicative memory’ is that studies proved that it tends to contain only knowledge of the past three generations. I.e. as long as our identities are built upon on our communicative memory, there is a cliff of forgetting and blindness that sets in around 80 years in the past from the present day. Whatever falls of that cliff sinks into oblivion of everyday communication - i.e. it is still recorded in writing and possibly part of academic studies, but ceases to form part of the everyday set of symbols of a collective. Often the ‘communicative memory’ then reappears about 500 years into the past, marked by a much more mythical terminology and narrative. Well, let’s see what happens if we apply this theory to the make-up of our Western occult roots? If we travel back into our past 80 years from today we find ourselves back in the 1930s. Maybe due to the significance of certain individual biographies of that time our ‘communicative memory’ stretches back a little further, another 20 to 30 years? We recall the foundation of the Golden Dawn, events in the life of Aleister Crowley, the impact of the two World Wars on society and many lodges and maybe how many spiritualists strived to combine latest technological discoveries with theories of the occult... But what do we recall about the 19th century? Except for a few guidepost names such as Eliphas Levi, Papus, Bulwer Lytton or Frederick Hockley I’d assume most of our minds come up blank? And even considering these names: how much of them do we truly remember? How much of their personalities, their personal struggles and desires, their biographies and characters versus their writings and a few of their occult theories? But if we travel further back in our memories and bridge this strange gap between 80 and 500 years of our past? Now we are in the 16th century. And here we meet John Dee and Edward Kelly and hear the echo of mythical names such as Johannes Trithemius, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Francis Bacon or Giordano Bruno. Yet, these names have taken on a different form than what we know from our living memory: they turned into mirrors of their times, into collective ideas, archetypes almost. Or how much difference in nuances and shades truly do we find between our memories of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and one Dr. Faust? What I am trying to say is this: For as much as our occult history has craved to build chains and links of lineage into our past, our actual memories beyond the time of our great-grandparents are pretty narrow and patchy at best. Now, why does that matter? It matters because the more we travel back in time from this point onwards, the more our ancestors made us belief our feet rest on the solid ground of occult history and tradition. Yet, upon closer examination it rather seems the opposite is true: It is much wiser to assume our tradition is an invention of creative people who depended on it to underpin their authority just as much as our own desire for genuineness and originality. It is wise to take such approach to the dazzling mirror we call an occult tradition, until we have done our own research on facts and truths. A story should remain a story, until we have proven it to be a record of events. II) On the Asiatic Brethren Cover of the original teachings of the Asiatic Brethren, published in 1803 You can e.g. read about their history in Hanegraaff’s wonderful Dictionary, which is why I will only provide a brief outline here: The Asiatic Brethren were founded by a Bavarian Officer, Hans Heinrich von Ecker und Eckhoffen (HHEE, 1750- 1790). Their foundation followed the rather unsuccessful earlier attempt of the latter to bring to life a new rosicrucian order, the ‘Ordo Rotae et Aureae Crucis’ (The Order of the Wheel and Golden Cross) in 1776. While this order played a significant role in the emergence of Adam Weishaupt’s order of the Bavarian Illuminati they ceased to exist relatively quickly as HHEE couldn’t attract many members. After his expulsion from the order of the 'Gold- und Rosenkreuzer` (Gold and Rosy Cross) in 1780, HHEE moved from Munich to Vienna where the order of Asiatic Brethren was founded. Another title of the order often is given as 'Ritter und Brüder des Lichts', i.e. Knights and Brothers of the Light. Now, before we continue further it might be important to point out that secret societies and orders flourished like weeds during the 17th and 18th century in Germany. Most of them also had the life-expectancy of weeds and disappeared quickly into forgetfulness. During these days a secret order or masonic lodge offered the unparalleled opportunity to gain a powerful network of allies as well as to earn money through membership fees for their leaders. Remember, this was a time when no political parties or workers’ unions existed, most European countries were still ruled by emperors and kings and the French revolution was only a few decades away. Having a personal network of strong relationships into the various sectors of society was a tool so priceless and powerful - most men were happy to pay for it, especially if the price was as low as regularly wearing silly robes, standing silently in candle-light and listening to the enigmatic babbling of one ‘master of the chair’. On the other hand occult books and manuscripts were very incredibly rare and often accessible to the privileged only. Thus anyone with a genuine interest in the occult equally needed a broad network of allies to be able to tap into the oral or written tradition they aimed to become a part of… In light of the above it might not come as a surprise that the Asiatic Brethren were dismantled only nine years after their emergence in 1781. Seventy-three years later, in a source from 1863 we learn about how quickly they actually were dismantled and disappeared: “The asiatic lodges disappeared everywhere with a fabulous pace. After excision of the characteristic details the costumes of the various degrees found their way to junk dealers and theatrical costumiers. The Gold- and Silversmiths of Vienna, for as far as the brothers had been freemasons, were occupied for weeks with the melting down of asiatic alliance-insignia and gems, the laboratory on the Landstrasse fell into decline, however, not before becoming the place of a peculiar event which didn’t cause little agitation and dismay in the neighbourhood. Namely, one had agreed to (…) sacrifice to the flames many of the asiatic diplomas and certificates - a purpose that was executed with such haste and vehemence that black clouds of stinking smoke flooded the whole neighbourhood and scraps of burning paper rained on the streets which caused the sudden call ‘Fire!’. The guardians of the fire watch gave the known signal, the fire engines rushed to the street, yet the mob showed more appetite to loot the place than to quench the fire and showed all signs of being ready to storm the building. It was only with trouble and effort that the poor brothers (…) managed to escape from the ‘Goldcookerhouse’ and saved their bacon.” (from: ‘Die Asiatischen Brüder in Berlin und Wien`, Latomia 22 (1863), transl. by Frater Acher) So what is it that makes this short-lived order stand out from the crowd of other secret societies of its time? Why has it been hailed - rightly or wrongly so - to be one of the critical forerunners of the Golden Dawn and many its descendants - as well as to be an influential force on so many of our ancestors such as Eliphas Levi, Papus, P.B. Randolph, Frederick Hockley or Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie? Well, the answer is mainly down to two men. However, we are not talking about the founder of the order, HHEE, nor any of its prominent members during its short time of existence. Instead it were two men that most of us have never heard of and even academic history had almost forgotten about. One of them was baron Franz Thomas von Schönfeld - an adventurer and nobleman whose born name he kept secret to most. Because knowing him under his real name, Moses Dobruška would have given away a lot - not only about his Jewish ancestry but also about his particularly heretic believes. In order to understand this we have to go back a little further… Like it or not: If you want to stop tell yourself stories or listen to other people's, there is no way we can avoid some proper research into historic facts. As we continue I'll do my best to provide academic sources and quotes for everything I am sharing - just to ensure this doesn't turn into another 'mythical story' of our occult origins. So before we can better understand the impact and story of the 'Asiatic Brethren' let's diverge and take a look at what currents and traditions influenced the emergence of this order in turn. In fact, as a starting point we should aim to understand some very rough outlines of the heretic tradition in Judaism. II.a Excursus - Sabbatianism Here is how a short version of the official (Wikipedia) story sounds: Sabbatai Zevi (1626-1676) declared himself the new Messiah early on during his education as a Rabbi. In order to prove his divine status to his followers he pulled quite a few eccentric, yet effective publicity stunts: such as pronouncing the holy tetragrammaton in public, officially marrying the Torah and later on wedding Sarah, a young Polish prostitute who proclaimed she would be married by the Messiah. However, different to most other self-proclaimed ‘new messiah’ that we know of, Sabbatai’s influence already spread and extended significantly during his life-time. Despite being banished by local rabbis several times and causing shock and outrage amongst orthodox Jewish leaders, he and his charismatic wife gained a large following and eventually established their power-base in Smyrna. From their his influence grew further and quickly spread all across Europe. So far the general version. And here is what we don't learn unless we dig a little deeper: In his amazingly detailed biography ‘Sabbatai Zwi - The mystical Messiah’ Gershom Sholem puts forward many proving points to his argument that Sabbatai actually was psychologically ill, i.e. that he suffered from strong manic-depression throughout his life. Rather than being ‘publicity stunts’ or attempts to prove his divine status to his followers, Sholem argues, his paradox and hugely provocative acts should be interpreted in light of this specific mental condition. In fact some of his followers realised his condition as a sickness, yet perceived it as a divine gift and further prove of his special status as a mediator between man and godhead (Scholem 1980, p.319). Sabbatai Zevi (1666) Thus Sabbatai turned into a prominent example of Jewish antinomianism and coined the related term of ‘Ma’assim sarim’ (strange or paradox deeds) amongst his followers. While being a student of theoretical Kabbala of average quality at best, Sabbatai’s real impact and charisma stemmed from the ‘divine acts’ which he performed - often just after emerging from the dark night of depression or after having sung psalms for hours in a seeming state of emotional ecstasy. As shocking as they were, Sabbatai proclaimed, that the meaning of these paradox acts was obvious to him while he was in ecstasy and utterly inaccessible and heretic even to himself once he had returned to his normal state of being. “Large sections of the Jewish people gave themselves over to highly eccentric penances, of which contemporaries said that ‘never something like this had ever been before and never ever will be something like this again, until the true redeemer appears.’” (Scholem 1980, p.316, transl. by Frater Acher) After a very eventful life - as one would expect given the short outline above - Sabbatai ended up in imprisonment under the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV. The Sultan gave him three choices: (1) to subject himself to trial of his divinity (if the arrows of the Sultan’s archers would miss him, his divine status would be proven), (2) to be impaled or (3) to convert to Islam. On the next day, September 16, 1666 Sabbatai “came before the sultan, cast off his Jewish garb and put a Turkish turban on his head. Thus his conversion to Islam was accomplished.” (source). While Sabbatai’s conversion caused dismay amongst many of his followers and invited ridicule from others, still about 300 of his disciples as well as his wife Sarah converted to Islam as well. Since then a small group of followers is said to have continued to keep Sabbatai’s teachings and heritage alive; the Dönmeh being the most popular ones amongst them. The legend further goes that Sabbatai actually never dropped his heretic believes - yet that he chose his conversion to Islam as a disguise which would allow him to continue to teach and spread his cult in secrecy, while officially being protected through his new Islamic affiliation. Thus for the follower’s who held this belief, converting to a foreign and publicly accepted faith such as Islam or Christianity - once perceived to be one of the most significant sins possible for Jews - actually turned into an expression of their true and secret faith… Only in light of this can we understand what Sabbateans meant when even after their conversion to another faith they continued to call each other ‘Ma’aminim’ (believers). They didn’t emphasise their commitment to their newly gained religion, but to the divine mission of their original messiah, Sabbatai Zevi (Scholem 1980, p.332). Nathan of Gaza (1667) What we have not mentioned so far in this hugely abbreviated overview on Sabbatianism is what actually turned the deeds of this originally little known sinner, mystic and ascetic from Smyrna into the most prominent and long-lasting Jewish heretic movement ever since. The reason are the writings of his self-proclaimed prophet, Nathan of Gaza. Only through the latter’s mystical interpretations of Sabbatai’s situation and heretic deeds did the story of this new messiah gain the mystical depth, the spiritual weight and kabbalistic meaning that created the necessary gravitas to turn it into such a strong movement. In fact it is Nathan of Gaza’s peculiar mix of Lurianic Kabbalah, qlippothic-gnostic interpretation, quotes from the Zohar and his own mystic exegesis that - as we will see - should turn Sabbatianism into a future, hidden cornerstone of our Western occult lore (Scholem, p.328). Now, before we conclude this first excursus let's look at a short, yet critical example of Nathan’s particular explanation of Lurianic Kabbalah. We can find it in his small ‘Treatise of the Dragons’ (Drusch ha-Tanninim, ref. Scholem 1980, p.325f / Scholem 1992, p.317f). "Lurianic Kabbalah creates the background for the Sabbatean movement. The attempt to give a short overview of its main elements (...) bears the risk of errors and misunderstandings. One has to take it in order to adequately explain the origins and later development of the Sabatean movement." (Scholem 1992, p.49) One of the most essential elements of Lurianic Kabbalah is a term called ‘tikkun’ or ‘tikkun olam’ (repairing the world). Luria’s idea was that when the first divine light pierced into the void that G'd had withdrawn from to make space for his creation a kind of cosmic accident happened (schebira). The particular accident happened when the light began to fill the fifth sephira of geburah (strength); the related type of light was too strong and overwhelming for the vessel it poured into and thus broke the cosmic vessel. The shells of the vessel dropped into the vast, dark ground of the void. However, some sparks of divine light stuck to them just like drops of oil stick to potsherd. After the cosmic creation had been recovered by use of an incredibly complex process of restoration (parzufim), these animated ‘shells of clay’ remained at the bottom of the new creation, causing dismay and all evil among living creatures. Man’s role in creation thus was to collect the invisible pearls of divine light from every broken fragment of the original fifth vessel. These fragments could hide anywhere; in fact many Kabbalists began to assume all of the created physical world as an expression of these qlippothic shells. Now, the act through which man could ‘repair the world’ is to treat everything s/he encounters with empathy, devotion and respect. And this is what Lurianic Kabbalists came to know as tikkun. It is the reason why everyone of us exists, it is what we and in particular the Jewish people are here for: the picking up of divine sparks from amongst the darkness of qlippothic shells (Scholem 1992, p.60). A process that will only end with the advent of the new messiah. "(...) And when the potsherd sunk to the bottom of the (fourth and last) world of asija they originated the four elements - fire, air, water and earth - which in turn brought forth the four stages of mineral, vegetable, animal and human form. Once these had been fully materialised some sparks still remained amongst the elements. Which is why it should be the purpose of any Jew to gather these sparks from where they are trapped into and to resurrect them through the power of their soul to holiness." (Israel Sarug, a famous Lurianic Kabbalist, quoted after Scholem 1992, p.61, transl. by Frater Acher) So far the highly abbreviated, yet original Lurianic teaching on tikkun for absolute dummies. In his treatise of the dragons Nathan expands this interpretation in a way that would allow him later on to explain the behaviour of the new messiah, Sabbatai, in deeply mystical and kabbalistic terms. According to Nathan of Gaza the qlippothic forces already came into existence when G'd originally withdrew into itself (zimzum) to create a void that could be filled with creation. In fact the entire void was filled with such hylic, formless powers as well as at the same time with powers that strove towards creation. Creation thus was a process of constant forming, bonding and integration of these qlippothic forces into the newly formed worlds (Scholem 1992, p.320f). When the divine light shattered the fifth vessel and collapsed into the abyss, what fell into the dark amongst these sparks of light was also the soul of the messiah itself (Davidowicz, p.117). This is why, according to the Sabbateans, since the beginning of the world the soul of the messiah is locked into a cave of darkness. And together with it in this darkest of places dwell the qlippothic snakes or dragons that were contained outside of creation who plague and torture the messiah’s soul. This kabbalistic re-interpretation gains further meaning when Nathan refers to the messiah’s soul as a ‘holy snake' amongst snakes (Scholem 1992, p.327) - as the hebrew word for snake (nachash) has the same numeric value as the term messiah. Each act of tikkun thus not only becomes an act of repairing the world, but takes further meaning in that it also refers to a cleaning and restoring of the messiah’s soul itself. (Note: This earliest Sabbatean myth which puts the snake (dragon) into the middle of its messianic teaching shows interesting parallels to the gnostic teachings of the Ophites.) "The earlier referenced soul (of the messiah) which had sunken amongst the qlippoth sent out sparks into each generation. If they proved worthy and the respective spark proved to be of value in service of the Lord, then eventually it could turn into the soul of the messiah and pull out its entire root of his (holy) soul from amongst the qlippoth. This is also how AMIRAH (Sabbatai Zevi) originally emerged as a spark of this root from amongst the qlippoth; yet in his struggle he pulled out the entire root. Hence the Lord, once he had pulled out the entire root and turned into messiah, led him into great temptation. (...) Because these snakes always aimed to beguile him, and always after he had struggled to pull out great holiness from the qlippoth, they managed to take power over him once the state of enlightenment had withdrawn from him. Then they would show him that they also possessed great powers..." (from a letter by Nathan of Gaza, quoted after Scholem 1992, p.329/p.156, transl. Frater Acher) Now, earlier I referred to the significance of Sabbatean Kabbala to our Western occult lore. Having examined the re-interpretation of the originally Lurianic term tikkun we are now at a point where we can better understand one of the main reasons for its longstanding impact on our own tradition: It was the Sabbatean interpretation of Salvation that made all the difference. Suddenly the idea of salvation first and foremost didn’t refer anymore to the exoteric redemption of the Jewish people from slavery amongst other people. Instead it pointed to an inner salvation, an esoteric process of mystical healing and restoration of one’s own soul (Scholem 1980, p.334). Thus it is in Sabbatianism that we find the central myth of Kabbalah retold: From an exploration of the process through which the Jewish kingdom would be restored, its central concern changed into a mystical path that would lead to a radical change and sublimation of substance. Both, the substance of all worlds created as well as the substance of the human soul. : : continue with the 2nd part : : Sources: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On the Order of In essence: what would be the marks on any occult order that would allow us to assume a strong influence of Sabbatianism or Frankism respectively? Well, here is a short overview and with that a brief summary of what we discussed during Part 1 and 2: Overview of characteristic features of Sabbatianism and Frankism - click to enlarge Now, if for a moment we broadened our view to look beyond the order of the Asiatic Brethren, we might already be able to see how significant the heritage of these currents is on our modern day occult tradition? Take a moment to compare many of the practices and rituals in modern occult movements or even in Crowley’s own work with the above list? The most stunning resemblance - in terms of its sexual affinity as well as its emphasise on turning spirit into flesh - I can think of are the works of Austin Osamn Spare, a genuine wunderkind of 20th century magic. Allow me to share a quote from his Logomachy of Zos might highlight this strange connection: All ways to Heaven lead to flesh. Our re-orientation and ascent from Earth must start here: nothing is obtained except by desire and our only medium is flesh—mouth and hand. (…) No escape but to breathe the human smell, touch the hirsute flesh: shall again adventure… must transgress. (…) Flesh exists to be exploited. It is in all things and all things will be through it. All emanations are through the flesh and nothing has reality for us without it. The Soul is ever unknowable because we can only realize by finite form in Time-Space. (…) This is your great moment of reality—the living flesh! — AOS, The Logomachy of Zos 4. On the Founding Fathers of the Asiatic Brethren Origins: Who were the most influential founding members of the order? Teachings: What were the actual teachings of the order as we know them today? Sources: Which trusted sources do we know influenced the orders’ teachings? We already introduced two of the leading men of the order during the first chapter, Hans Heinrich von Ecker und Eckhofen (HHEE) as well as Franz Thomas von Schönfeld. However, when we compare the various, scattered contemporary German sources that have come upon us as well as more recent research on the order, several other important members stand out. The below chart provides an condensed overview of the five most influential members of the Asiatic Brethren (AB) - legendary or authentic (ref. Katz 1983 / von Goue, 1805). Founding Fathers of the Asiatic Brethren - click to enlarge Now, it needs to be called out that by no means were these five men also the most powerful members of the order. Quite the opposite: most of them had lost much of their wealth and social power before joining (Katz, p.241). Still, quickly after the foundation of the order these men were able to attract a significant amount of followers in various European power centres of the time. This is an even greater accomplishment if we recognise that the order throughout its relatively short life-time always remained isolated from other and more established Freemasons’ organisations. Lodges of the Asiatic Brethren have been confirmed for Vienna - where their original headquarter was - Prague, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt and Innsbruck. Equally, due to member lists found amongst the order’s papers memberships of several powerful potentates of the time are confirmed, the most influential of whom certainly was the future King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II (Katz, p.253). This order has spread from Italy to Russia already. The ruling heads of this order were unknown still at 1788; however it is not unlikely that the baron von Ecker und Eckhofen is one of them. They refer to Masonry as their basis, they even call it the nursery (Pflanzschule) of their entire system. Their gatherings they call Melchisedek-Lodges and offer their services to include Jews, Turks, Persians and Armenians. The order aims to be a fraternal association of all righteous and (currently) separated human children. (…) The order’s teaching are partly moral, which means one is taught how to govern the spirits by breaking the seven seals, and partly physical, which means one is taught how to produce miracle cures (Wunderarzneyen) and how to create gold. The order expects blind faith and blind obedience; it’s regulations are the true teachings of the son’s of Loyola. — von Goue, Leipzig 1805, p.411 Like any good occult order the AB strived to provide a founding myth leading back into an ancient lineage. This was particularly important as the order had been established without any support from either the side of other Freemasons’ nor Rosicrucian organisations of the time. Moreover, as we see highlighted in the order’s name, the aim was to establish a particularly strong connection to Asian occult traditions. The term ‘Asia’ in this context, however, needs explanation: It is not a reference to the landmass we have come to call Asia today. Yet instead it is a vague reference to Asia-Minor at best. Thus it indicates a tradition that doesn’t stem from the European mainland, but from the Orient instead. Secondly, the term aimed to function as a name-tag which in the 18th century marked a tradition that was equally - or possibly more - ancient than the established Roman Catholic and Jewish orthodoxy. “The Asiatic Brethren would like so much, just like any
fraternity seems to be marked by this weakness, to be of ancient
decent.” As part of their foundation myth they also remembered the name of the kabbalistic teacher from whom Justus had received the original material. His name was Azariah and he was said to be a member of a kabbalistic sect himself, possibly of Sabbatean origins. Due to his strong devotion to Kabbalah he handed over management of his daily business to his sons and became an emissary of the sect, traveling from city to city to expand and strengthen the sect’s network. This is how he got to know Justus and despite the latter’s European and more importantly Christian background began to unveil the teachings of the Kabbalah to him (Katz, p.241f). — Of course not all of these details can be verified today. However, historic evidence of the person of Justus are sufficiently strong to erase most doubt about his existence (Katz, p.242 / von Goue, Leipzig 1805, p.419). We will not repeat here what we have said in the first chapter about the Bavarian officer, Hans Heinrich von Ecker und Eckhoffen and how he founded the actual order in 1781. However, it should be highlighted here that Ecker himself explained he had been introduced to the order in 1774 by a friend, Georg Hasting. According to the former at this point the order had already been established for 38 years in a loose form after some of the original brethren had decided to move to Europe (Frick, p.457). -- We will also not repeat again the background of Franz Thomas von Schönfeld who contributed as a founding member of the order and developed much of its constitutional teachings, structure and ceremony (Katz, p.248). As far as we can tell, it was down to the work of this original triumvirate that the basic and distinct tenet of the AB were shaped and designed. We will take a closer look at them in the next chapters. Before that, however, there is one more founding father of the order we need to go get to know. His name is Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld. It is with Hirschfeld that we encounter the true prodigy who helped to elevate the AB above the crowd of other mystical orders and secret societies of the time. In his liminal essay from 1962 Gershom Scholem was the first one to rediscover this ‘forgotten mystic of the age of enlightenment`. Unfortunately as Scholem died briefly after publishing this essay he never was given the chance to finish his planned book on Hirschfeld (Davidowicz, p.135). However, in a nutshell here is what we know about him and his influence on the AB: Hirschfeld was born as a son to a Jewish cantor in Karlsruhe who held considerable knowledge in talmudic and kabbalistic studies (Katz, p.245). It was also Hirschfeld’s father who already had aimed to create and strengthen his family ties to several Christian families of noble decent. As a protege of these powerful allies the young Hirschfeld was allowed to visit a higher school and study medicine initially. (…) Instead he acquired primary knowledge in languages, philosophy and literature and achieved a level of self-confidence on the social parquet which was unusual for Jews at that time. In addition to his acquired skills Hirschfeld had some strange inherent features: on the one hand he tended to reclusive behaviour and stay by himself, where on the other hand he shone in every kind of public conversation, radiated charm and self-confidence and steadily advocated his well thought through opinions. — Katz, p.246 Early on in his life we find him working as a teacher and accountant for several aristocratic families, such as ultimately the famous 19th century banker David Friedländer. In 1782 Hirschfeld relocated to Innsbruck where his momentous encounter with the founder of the AB, Hans Heinrich von Ecker und Eckhoffen (HHEE) took place. The two of them quickly formed strong bonds and became close friends, repeatedly traveling together across Germany and Austria on the quest to spread their new-formed order. Contemporary sources actually called them“a pair of originals who ran the risk of mutually ruining each other.” (Davidowicz, p.139) Different to many other Jews of the time who aimed for access to Christian secret societies and a place on the social parquet, Hirschfeld never converted to Christianity and always held on to his Jewish roots. Still after receiving permission to join the order of the Asiatic Brethren, it was him who gradually took over the work of Franz Thomas von Schönfeld and - as we will see - began to put his kabbalistic mark especially on the teaching of the higher grades of the order. Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld, a Jewish Kabbalist and Freemason, is one of the figures towards the end of the 18th century in whose works we can equally find traces of Kant as well as of kabbalistic elements of one Isaac Luria. It is through him that we can see how Sabbatean and Frankist bodies of thought (…) lead to the upheaval from tradition to modernity in the minds of many thinkers of his time. — Davidowicz, p.135 Surprisingly, in 1790 we find Hirschfeld being banned from the order. The reasons for this event remain somewhat in the dark due to papers relating to a law court that only have been rediscovered partially so far (Davidowicz, p.146). However, it seems relatively proven that the root causes for both his eventual exclusion from the order as well as his temporary imprisonment were public conflicts with his former close friend and ally, HHEE himself. The conflict seemed to revolve around two main aspects: (1) unfulfilled financial promises towards Hirschfeld as well as (2) a lack of respect for his work and increasing discrimination due to his Jewish background. Now, what is particularly interesting about this conflict is Hirschfeld’s opinion on Kabbala as he expressed it in public documents as part of the related law court. He argues very confidently that Kabbala as such was not based on any particular religion, but rather formed an open path for anybody interested - be they Muslim, Catholic or Jewish - to transcend the limitations of one's own religious tradition and to gain access to “the one and only, true, pure and all embracing religion.” (Katz, p.267) But because it is in the principles of the true Cabalistic that lies the one and only, true, pure and all-embracing religion, nothing is more natural than that all kinds of religious members are coming together here (in this order). It is here for example that the orthodox Jew, Mohametan and Christian learned the sacred three-in-one as well as the true faith in the unbiased doctrine of Christ - of which the first two mustn’t know and the third downrightly knows nothing (…). — Ephraim Josef Hirschfeld, quoted after Katz, p.281 Now, let’s pause for a moment and consider why this is such a significant quote for our Western tradition? Well, most of the mystical orders founded in the 19th and early 20th century that form our more recent mystical heritage were deeply syncretic by nature. While several of them maintained a relatively Christian facade, their teachings converged in so far as they assumed one true source of divine wisdom and teaching which was located beyond the confines of any particular religion. This is why Eliphas Levi, Papus, Mathers, etc. were obsessed with ‘piecing the puzzle’ together and felt at liberty to take elements of traditions from all cultures and histories of our past to unblock their magical paths. Pragmatic syncretism was the perceived key to ‘reconstruct’ (or invent?) entire systems of magic and bring them to life again. It is in light of this that the work of Ephraim Josef Hirschfeld assumes its most important meaning: At the turn of the 19th century we find a kabbalistic Jew becoming one of the earliest pioneers of this occult spirit. While Western society was obsessed with the rational mind and pushing through the barriers of the past into the new Age of Enlightenment, at the same time we discover in Hirschfeld the emergence of a current that used this momentum to pave its way into a completely different direction. ‘Enlightenment’ for Hirschfeld was to recognise the false and artificial limitations each religious tradition confined itself to. ‘Enlightenment’ for him meant to break free from all of these man-made containers altogether - and to push through to the actual, unifying mystical truth behind each of these belief systems. cover page of the first book that contained an official history of the AB, Leipzig 1805, published anonymously by August Siegfried von Goue - click to enlarge That this spiritual attempt obviously was flawed again in itself should not diminish its general accomplishment. Not everything in Kabbala will still work and function if you take away the Jewish context and current underneath it; not everything in the teachings of Paracelsus, Jacob Böhme or Ignatius of Loyola will still be coherent and touch your soul, if you a deviate too far from the paths each of them had carved out. In fact, much of magic, mystic and the occult simply will become muddy and all mixed up if you think you can hold their essences in your hands without accepting the particular vessels they were taken from. However - and this is the significant thing to remember - at the time Hirschfeld introduced his revolutionary ideas into the higher grades of the Asiatic Brethren most of the liquid essence had been lost over the adoration of the man-made vessels. But let's return to our almost forgotten founding father. In 1792 we find Hirschfeld imprisoned in Schleswig, excluded from the AB and deprived not only of the fruits of his work but more importantly even of the public recognition. The aristocratic potentates who protected him for most of his life had either died of age or turned away from him. Suddenly, historic documents tell us, one Isaac ben Joseph, a leading head of the order appears in the city where Hirschfeld is held captive. The order’s brethren in the area who had heard about ben Joseph in the past, believed him to be another of their legendary founders rather than a real person - and so were shocked to see him alive. ben Joseph meets the authorities who had ordered the imprisonment of Hirschfeld, pays the significant amount of 550 thaler to free him of his asserted debts and gets him released from prison. Together they leave Schleswig and neither of them should ever return. In May of the same year both of them reappear in Strasbourg where they depart. Hirschfeld returns to Germany and his home city of Karlsruhe. Until the end of his life this is where he resides; as well as in Offenbach very close to the court of Jacob Frank. Hirschfeld continues on his life’s mission and in 1796 publishes the first Jewish-Kabbalistic book in German language ever, 'Biblisches Organon oder Realübersetzung der Bibel mit der mystischen Begleitung und kritischen Anmerkungen'. It remains one of the rarest German language occult books until today. However, above all Hirschfeld never stopped waiting for his brethren to keep their promise - and to allow him to return to his order. When the news reached him that most of the lodges of the order had ceased to exist, he even took efforts to re-establish it himself. He remained without success and died in 1820. Which leaves us with one last question. Who was the mysterious brother who appeared out of nowhere when Hirschfeld was imprisoned in Schleswig? Well, it seems Hirschfeld after all wasn’t without any allies from his former order. Isaac ben Joseph was just another name Franz Thomas von Schönfeld assumed while traveling from one adventure to the next all across Europe. Hirschfeld and Schönfeld - the two authentic kabbalistic scholars within the AB - first had been rivals within the order, both aiming to establish their authority and control over the order’s teachings. At that time Schönfeld succumbed, Hirschfeld prevailed and the former had to leave the order. What drove Schönfeld years later to support his former contender, to pay for him and to travel together with him subsequently, is what we do not know. We do know, however, that together in Strasbourg they finally got to meet another mystic whose work had a strong influence on both of them and therefore on teachings of the AB. This was the 'unknown philosopher' and disciple of one famous Martinez de Pasqually, Louis Claude de Saint-Martin. But I guess we are getting into another adventure already. Enough for now. Let’s save the secrets of Pasqually and St.Martin and how they influenced the order of the Asiatic Brethren for our next chapter. The syncretic tendencies of the ‘Asiatic Brethren’ who aimed to unite Jewry and Christianity by all means resembled the related tendencies amongst the Frankists, who leveraged writings from these circles, such as Hirschfelds ‘Biblical Organon’ (Offenbach 1796) for their propaganda. It is on this soil that Schönfeld and Hirschfeld met. What attracted the Frankist Schönfeld to the Freemason Hirscheld was what attracted the Freemason Hirschfeld to the Frankists with whom he maintained the closes relationships later on in Offenbach. — Gershom Scholem, quoted after Katz, p.14 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Weishaupt and Rothschild
“The premise of universal domination found in the Law by the orthodox Jew was not interpreted by the Pharisees in the sense of the reign of the God of Moses over the Nations, but in the sense of a material domination which would be imposed by the Jews over the Universe. The expected Messiah…was to be a temporal King, all bloody from battle, who would make Israel master of the world and trample all peoples under the wheel of His chariot.” “But he (Adam Weishaupt) was not the first Illuminati, he has merely been the most obvious, and the Learned Elders of Zion, the Jewish Sanhedrin has allowed the world to believe it was Adam Weishaupt who founded the Secret Society, thus keeping themselves behind the scenes and out of sight of the peoples of the world!” “By means of these the mentality of the Western world has been for long and still is being Judaised in all departments of life, producing Socialism, Communism, and Bolshevism, which if successful would inevitably lead to Jewish domination and the destruction of Western and Christian civilization.” http://israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/ILLU-1%20%5BA%5D.htm ——- “The Rothschilds had played a major role in the Bavarian Illuminati, (25) and it is known that a least one of the sons of Amsel was a member. As the reader remembers, Amsel placed his sons in the major European capitals, where they each set up the principal banking houses. By their own secret intelligence service and their own news network they could outmanouver any European government. (26) The large amounts of voluminous correspondence by Rothschild couriers attracted attention, (27) but no one ever stopped their personal intelligence and mail services. After the Bavarian illuminati were exposed, the central occult power over the European secret societies shifted to Carbonarism a.k.a. the Alta Vendita, (28) led by another powerful Rothschild, Karl Rothschild, (29) son of Amschel. In 1818, Karl participated in a secret document that was sent out to the headquarters of Masonry from the Alta Vendita. “The Jewish Ency. Vol. 2, p. 496 indicates other Jewish families “adopted the Rothschild plan.” These were the Lazards, Sterns, Speyers, and Seligmans. The Rothschild plan was to place family members in the 5 largest European capitals to coordinate their activities. One of Germany’s largest magazines is the Stern, and Ernst Stern is second-in-command of the World Bank.” (53) “The Jewish families that established the Frankfurt Judenloge (this was the Masonic lodge the Rothschilds belonged to in Frankfurt) included the Adlers, Speyers, Reisses, Sichels, Ellisons, Hanaus, Geisenheimers, and Goldschmidts. Isaac Hildesheim, a Jew who changed his name to Justus Hiller is credited as being the founder of this Frankfurt lodge. Michael Hess, principal of the Reformed Jewish school Philanthropin was an important figure in the lodge too, as was Dr. Ludwig Baruch (later Borne) who joined in 1808. “Most of these Frankfurt Jewish Freemasons engaged in commerce. (54) Those Freemasons from 1817-1842 were the leaders of the Frankfurt Jewish community. (55) A gentile Mason in Frankfurt Johann Christian Ehrmann began warning the German people that the Frankfurt Jewish Masons wanted a world republic based on humanism. In 1816 he came out with a warning pamphlet Das Judenthum in der M[aurere]y (The Jews in Masonry). A powerful ally of the world’s jewry can be seen beginning with men like Oliver Cromwell, who was considered a Mason. “The following quote by one of Nathan’s contemporaries describes his eerie countenance: ‘Eyes are usually called windows of the soul. But in Rothschild’s case you would conclude that the windows are false ones, or that there was no soul to look out them. There comes not one pencil of light from the interior, neither is there any gleam of that which comes from without reflected in any direction. The whole puts you in mind of an empty skin, and you wonder why it stands upright without at least something in it. By and by another figure comes up to it. It then steps two paces aside, and the most inquisitive glance that you ever saw, and a glance more inquisitive than you would have thought of, is drawn out of the fixed and leaden eyes, as if one were drawing a sword from a scabbard…” ——– “…the Jewish Cabalistic leaders were able to establish a control over all world banking through the Rothschild family, and…the political power was captured through the work of Adam Weishaupt. Here is how it was done: Meyer Amschel (a rabbinically trained German Jew who later took the name Rothschild) was firmly established in the German city, Frankfurt am Main, with an emerging banking house as early as 1764. The leader of the Cabala at that time, Jakob Frank (a Polish born Jew with the family name of Leibowicz) lived in the German city of Offenbach (just south of the city of Frankfurt) from 1773. Johann Adam Weishaupt (from a Jewish family that had converted to the Roman Catholic Church) was at Ingolstadt in 1770, a German city in Bavaria. With these three men, the stage was set to ignite a hell fire that would forever bring changes to the world. “At this point in time, it is not known who ‘supervised’ these three Jewish men, but it is obvious that someone directed their efforts. On May 1, 1776, just two months before the Declaration of Independence in America, the Order of Illuminati was founded by Weishaupt. At this time Weishaupt was 28 years old, Amschel was 32 years old and Frank was 50 years old. Meyer Amschel financed Adam Weishaupt and Jakob Frank laid the cabalisic theological foundation for the Order of the Illuminati.” (Ibid.) ——– The following quoted material is from Juri Lina, Under the Sign of the Scorpion, pp. 22-28. “It was no coincidence that the Order of the Illuminati was founded on the first of May. Among the Cabbalist Jews, this date, 15 (1.5) symbolized the sacred number of Yahweh and became their occult holiday. According to Goethe, the first of May — the day following Walpurgis Night — is when the dark mystical forces are celebrated. At this time a young Jew named Mayer Amschel (born February 23, 1744) was being tutored to become a rabbi. Amschel lived with his parents in the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt am Main. He later took the name Rothschild. It was Mayer Amschel Rothschild who convinced Weishaupt to wholly accept the Frankist Cabbalist doctrine and who afterwards financed the Illuminati. Rothschild had given Weishaupt the task of restablishing the old Alumbrado movement for the Cabbalist Jews. Theoretical Cabbala embraces only secret teachings about God and nature. But practical Cabbala (such as Frankism) attempts to affect earthly matters. It involves the use of amulets and magic numbers as well as the conjuring of evil spirits. Both the Talmud and Midrash contain Cabbalist information. (Ancient Oriental and Jewish Secret Doctrines, Leipzig, 1805.) Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman shows in his book “To Eliminate the Opiate” (New York, 1974) that there was a clear connection between Frankism and Weishaupt’s Illuminism. The goal of the Frankists was to work in secret to establish Jewish world supremacy. Professor Scholem has clearly documented that they achived extensive political power. Jakob Frank summed up his doctrine in his book “The Words of the Lord”. He asserted that the creator God was not the same as the one who had revealed himself to the Israelites. He believed God was evil. Frank proclaimed himself the true Messiah. He vowed to not tell the truth, rejected every moral law, and declared that the only way to a new society was through a total destruction of the present civilization. Murder, rape, incest and drinking of blood were perfectly acceptable actions and necessary rituals. Frank was one of those refractory Jews who worshipped devils. The extremist Jews were particularly fond of a devil called Sammael. (C.M. Ekbohrn, “100000 frammande ord”, Stockholm, 1936, p. 1173.) In time, the Illuminati won control of every Masonic order in the world. Important financiers joined the organization: Speyer, Schuster, Stern and others. The Jews had therefore gained a very powerful position. Their base of operations was Frankfurt am Main. The Jesuits had taught Weishaupt much, not least their doubtful morals. He encouraged his closest collaborators to use the lie as a tool and to avoid giving the public any true explanations. The leaders of the Illuminati saw to it that their most dangerous opponents and others who might be a threat to the Order were poisoned. (Gerald B. Winrod, “Adam Weishaupt – A Human Devil.”) In 1777, the Illuminati began to cooperate with all the Masonic lodges (especially the Grand Orient) in order to infiltrate them. The Duke of Brunswick, Grand Master of Germany, said in 1794 that the Masonic lodges were controlled by the Illuminati. When Weishaupt became a member of the Grand Orient, the lodge was backed financially by Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), according to the British historian Nesta Webster. Bernard Lazar, a well-known Jewish author, wrote in his “L’Antisemitisme” in 1894, that exclusively Cabbalist Jews surrounded Weishaupt. Confiscated documents show that of 39 Illuminati holding lesser leading positions, 17 were Jews (i.e., 40%.) The higher one looked in the ranks, the larger was the percentage of Jews. Even the fact that the Illuminati headquarters in Ingolstadt were later converted into a synagogue was symbolic of this conspiracy. Lazar stated that all these Jews became the agents of revolution because they had “revolutionary souls.” There were four especially important Jews in the Illuminati leadership. Hartwig (Napthali Herz) Wessely, Moses Mendelssohn, the banker Dnaiel von Itzig (1723-1799) and the businessman David Friedlander (La Vielle France, 31st of March, 1921.) The Illuminati’s codex was presented in Masonic terms and prescribed lies, treachery, violence, torture and murder in order to reach all its goals. Many members believed themselves to be working for an improvement of the world. They never guessed that Weishaupt’s true purpose was to establish Novus Ordo Seclorum, a global program for world domination. The Protestant princes and rulers in Germany were well disposed to Weishaupt’s official plan to destroy the Catholic Church and they sought membership in his Order. Through these men Weishaupt gained control over the Masonic Orders, into which he and his other Jewish cronies were initiated in 1777. To prevent the rulers from understanding the true aims of the Illuminati, he forestalled their contact with the higher degrees. …Adam Weishaupt began to work especially closely with the Jewish Masonic leader Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786). Mendelssohn became, so to speak, Weishaupt’s invisible guide. Moses Mendelssoh was officialy known by the Jews as a poor writer who became one of Germany’s foremost philosophers during the “age of enlightenment.” He called himself a philosopher and a cultural personality. Officially, Mendelssohn’s aim was to “modernize” Judaism so that the public might accept the Jews when they ostensibly gave up Talmudism and “assimilated” to Western culture. The Illuminatus Mirabeau wrote a book in 1787 about Moses Mendelssohn’s political “reforms” to spread even more fantastical myths about him. In secret, however, Mendelssohn encouraged the Jews to faithfully keep their beliefs of their fathers. He led the Illuminati in Berlin. —– “Some researchers contend that Adam Wieshaupt of the Bavarian Illuminati was financially supported by the Rothschilds. The Bavarian Illuminati was founded in 1776, and the Rothschilds were not necessarily a financial power at that time. I may be wrong, but I do not believe Mayer was in a financial position to support Wieshaupt. It is possible, though, that when, in 1782, the headquarters of the Illuminati moved to Frankfort, that it began to be controlled by the Rothschilds. The satanic House of Rothschild’s Illuminati dealings at this time are well exemplified by their involvement with the second Tugenbund League. The first Tugenbund League (or Virtue League) was formed in 1786 as a kind of sex society. The group would meet at Henrietta Herz’s home (her husband was an Illuminati Jew who was the disciple of the powerful occultist Moses Mendelssohn). Many Illuminists attended this “Virtue” League. A number of young Jewish women whose husbands were always away on business would come to the Herz’s house to participate in the immorality (two members were daughters of Moses Mendelssohn). Frequenters of this salon included revolutionary Freemason Mirabeau, William von Humbolt, and Frederick von Gentz, who was to become an important Rothschild agent. Later on, I will discuss Gentz in further detail. In 1807 the second Tugenbund League was formed. This League pursued “moral-scientific” and political aims. The main aim being the deliverance of Germany from French occupation. The League was formed by Baron von Stein who was its principal “protector.” Thomas Frost wrote in SECRET SOCIETIES OF THE EUROPEAN REVOLUTION that ‘The Initiations [into the second Tugendbund] multiplied rapidly, and the League soon numbered in its ranks most of the Councilors of State, many officers of the army, and a considerable number of the professors of literature and science…. A central directorate at Berlin, presided over by Stein, had the supreme control of the movement, and exercised, through provincial committees, an authority all the more potent from emanating from an unknown source, and which was obeyed as implicitly as the decrees of Emperor or King.’ The Landgrave William of Hesse-Cassel held an important position in the second Tugendbund. Buderus was also involved. It appears the Rothschilds were members and they were “go-betweens for the [Landgrave’s] correspondence on this matter, and made payments in favor of the Tugendbund.” This put Mayer Rothschild at the head of the propaganda system against Napoleon. Napoleon tried to suppress Tugundbund but it went underground, concealing itself under the protection of the English Masonic Lodge at Hanover. It assisted many anti-Napoleon causes physically and financially. Tugendbund was eventually dissolved, but many of its members moved on to other Masonic societies such as the “Black Knights,” ‘The Knights of the Queen of Prussia,” and “The Concordists.” In 1818 the second Tugundbund was revived as the Burschenschaft (Association of Boys or Fellows). The Burschenschaft was a revolutionary group of students who introduced martial exercises into the universities. The Burschenschaft eventually fell apart. There is absolutely no evidence that I have found to connect the first Amschel Rothschild directly with the 1789 Revolution. He most emphatically was not the alter ego of Frederick, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel, as has been stated by a certain author, and never had anything to do with that potentate, at whose palace in Wilhelmsbad the notorious Masonic Congress was held in which Illuminism definitely allied itself to Freemasonry, the Landgrave himself being Grand Master of Bavarian Masonry. This was in 1782, and the headquarters of Illuminised Masonry was set up in Frankfort in the same year. But at that time, Amschel Rothschild had no considerable influence even with Frederick’s son, and none at all with the Landgrave himself. There was, however, an organisation formed at Berlin called the League of Virtue or Tugenbund, which was, in the words of the Special Commissioner of Police at Mayence “so identified with the Illuminati that no line of demarcation was seen between them” (1814, Archives Nationales F 7/6563). The headquarters of the Tugenbund were at the house of a Jewish member of the Illuminati, Herz, friend and pupil of Moses Mendelssohn, the Jewish “intellectual” revolutionary; Herz’s wife, Henrietta, usually presided at the gatherings. Among its adherents were two of Mendelssohn’s daughters, who had two brothers married to members of the family of the Jew Daniel Itzig; Mirabeau, who according to Graetz’s History of the Jews, Vol. V., was more often in Mrs. Herz’s company than her husband, and who introduced Illuminism into France and initiated the Duke of Orleans and Talleyrand into the order (F, Vol. I., p. 374); Fanny von Arnstein, daughter of Daniel Itzig, who ran a similar salon in Vienna; William von Humboldt, who later became Prussian Ambassador in London, and his brother, the explorer Alexander von Humboldt who learned Hebrew from Mrs. Herz. But the most prominent member of the Tugenbund was Frederick von Gentz, a crypto-Jew “intellectual” quite unburdened by any morals, who later became secretary to Prince Metternich, Chancellor of Austria. We have it on the authority of the Jewish Chronicle, 1st Sept., 1922, that Mrs. Herz herself said that the Tugenbund Jews were ardent supporters of the French Revolution. Now, although Amschel the first cannot be incriminated as supporting the Illuminati, it is a striking fact that members of his family had the closest relations with some of the above mentioned members of the Tugenbund. It was von Gentz to whom the Rothschilds owed their later position with Prince Metternich of Austria (A, Vol. II., p. 619), although the first meeting between one of Amschel’s sons and von Gentz did not take place until 1818. It is noteworthy that William von Humboldt’s estates were managed by Amschel Rothschild II in 1830, whilst as early as 1818 Alexander von Humboldt was, with his brother, in intimate social relationship with Nathan Rothschild in London (A, Vol. I., p. 215). It is simply impossible to believe that the five Rothschild sons were not secretly supporting the Revolutionary cause in France through the first half of the nineteenth century. Fortunately, however, we have a decisive piece of evidence which puts the matter beyond dispute. It will be noted that Solomon Rothschild was not sent permanently to Vienna until 1816, when he was 42 years of age. Before that, he was assisting his father at Frankfort. Here, at a date not known but previous to 1814 and probably in his father’s lifetime, although that is uncertain, he became a member of a Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons called L’Aurore Naissante; this is shown in a report of the Director of Police at Graetz. (Reference Les Dessous du Congres de Vienna, by Commandant M. H. Weil, published by Libraire Payot in 1917, which, in turn obtained its data from original documents of the Ministry of Interior, Vienna, the reference being pp. 419 and 420, Vienna, 6th Nov., 1814, F, 34468 and 3565). This Lodge was later taken over by the United Grand Lodge of England, a curious fact, but one which does not concern us here, since the transfer did not take place until 1817 (History of Freemasonry, by R. F. Gould, Vol. III., p.p. 236/7). It is also to be noted that the Montefiore family, which is so closely intermarried with the Rothschilds, is also connected by marriage with the Goldsmids, whose forebears Benjamin and Abraham are mentioned above as Jew financiers of the French Revolution, and that the sister of another of these, Moses Mocatta, was mother of Sir Moses Montefiore who became jackal to the London Rothschild House. In 1807, another Tugenbund was formed, apparently with the genuine political object of uniting Germany against Napoleon; Amschel Rothschild had very close relations with it and “the Rothschilds appear to have become members” (A, Vol. I., p. 81). William of Hesse-Cassel was an important member and the Rothschilds acted as go-betweens for his correspondence concerning it and made payments in favour of the Tugenbund.” —– The following quoted material is from “The Illuminati” “According to Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman, in To Eliminate the Opiate, it was the founder of the Rothschild dynasty who convinced Weishaupt to accept the Frankist doctrine, and who afterwards financed the Illuminati, with the aim of fulfilling the Frankist plot of subverting the world’s religions, or the Kabbalah’s Zionist objective of instituting a global government to be ruled by the expected Messiah.[9] In 1773, Mayer Rothschild had invited twelve other wealthy and influential men, representing in all the thirteen bloodlines of the Illuminati, to convince them to pool their resources in a plot to bring about a new world order. Thus was Adam Weishaupt commissioned to establish the Illuminati. Though born Jewish, as a young boy, Weishaupt was educated by the Jesuits. On May 1, 1776, three years after the Jesuit order was disbanded by the Church, Weishaupt announced the foundation of the Order of Perfectibilists, which later became more widely known as the Illuminati. About eight years before the Revolution, Orleans was elected Grand Master of France, and the whole association of various lodges came to be known as the Grand Orient. The chief instigators of the Revolution, Mirabeau, Condorcet, Rochefoucault and others, were high-ranking officers of these lodges. The Count Mirabeau was himself a member of the Illuminati, and had attended the Grand Masonic Convention in 1782, at Wilhelmsbad, in Hessen-Kassell, where the ground-plan for the coming revolution was reputed to have originally been discussed. In 1788, deputies of the Illuminati were sent, upon his request, to inform the French lodges on strategy. Their first item of advice was the creation of a Political Committee in every lodge, and from these committees arose the Jacobins Club. Soon, nearly every lodge in the Grand Orient was infiltrated by supporters of Weishaupt, who became active in spreading the political policies of terrorism against the state.” ——- The following material is quoted from The Illuminati, the Triumph of Treachery “Deception and blackmail were the order’s ways to reach its aims. Weishaupt had advised his closest Illuminati brothers: “Devote yourselves to the art of deception, the art of disguising yourselves, of masking yourselves, spying on others and perceiving their innermost thoughts.” To make sure that the secrets of the Order were not leaked, Weishaupt created a secret police corps within the Order which he called the “insinuating brothers.” These worked in the same manner as the Bolshevik’s Cheka and its successors: denunciation, provocation, blackmail and terrorism. The “insinuating brothers” acted with full force during the reign of terror which is called the “Great French Revolution,” which was largely the work of Illuminati agents. Following the French Revolution, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe declared his detestation of it to Eckermann. He said that all sudden changes brought about by violence were repugnant to him because they went against the order of nature (“Goethe” by Karl Vietor, Stockholm, 1953, p. 100). So the brothers of the lower degrees were made to provide information (on printed forms) each month on their own actions and those of fellow brothers (the so-called Quibus licet). The leaders of the Order compiled information from these “confessions” which they could use later against any refractory brothers. Weishaupt also encouraged the Illuminati to steal or copy secret and government documents. The Order needed these documents for its revolutionary activities but it also wanted the brothers to lose any feelings of loyalty for the established order by having them constantly seeking to betray it. Religion, nationalism, patriotism, loyalty to the ruler, family ties — all such feelings were to be replaced by a single strong loyalty to the Illuminati’s cause. A defector, Joseph Utzschneider, a professor at the Military Academy in Munich, revealed that the constant preaching against the fatherland disgusted him so much that he left the Order. The supranational socialist power the Illuminati aspired to was summed up in the concept of Novus Ordo Seclorum (The New World Order). Some of the main points of this program were: Suppression of all religion, including all communions and doctrines which could not be subjected as tools for Illuminism. Suppression of all feelings of nationality and — in the long term—abolition of all nations and introduction of an Illuministic world-state. Successive transference of all private and national property into the hands of the Illuminati. The methods whereby to accomplish this were new taxation laws which Illuministic officials were to introduce. Weishaupt’s original plans also included a progressive income tax (so this is no new invention!) and an even more confiscatory inheritance tax. Karl Marx, too, wanted a high, progressive income tax in his “Communist Manifesto.” The intention was to weaken society. An all-encompassing espionage and denunciation system with the “insinuating brothers” as prototype. The symbol of this was the all-seeing eye, an eye within a pyramid, which was the Illuminati’s symbol of power. A global moral rule, a complete standardisation of all people’s innermost will, wishes and aspirations beneath “the one will”; the will of the Illuminati. The Illuminati simply wanted to abolish all forms of ordered government, patriotism, religion and the family to finally set up a world government. Upright people would never work for such an abhorrent program, so the “normal” Illuminati were filled with fair phrases about love, charity and suchlike which we call “ideology” today. The further up one advanced, the more primitive were the members. The more primitive the individuals, the lower the ideals enthusing them. Therefore, the Illuminati have used all sorts of ideologies (Nihilism, Liberalism, Fascism) or made them up themselves (Marxism, Communism, Socialism) whereas they themselves were perfectly independent of all ideology. At the Masonic conference in Wilhelmsbad, a decision to murder Louis XVI of France and Gustavus III of Sweden was made. (Charles de Hericault, “La Revolution”, p. 104.) The initiative for this conference was Jewish. (A. Cowan, “The X Rays in Freemasonry”, London, 1901, p. 122.) A decision to murder emperor Leopold of Austria was also made at the conference. He was poisoned on the 1st March 1792 by the Jewish freemason Martinowitz. Gustavus III of Sweden was murdered the same month. The freemasons had gathered in Lyon in 1778 to discuss the coming revolution. Further congresses were held in Paris in 1785 and 1787 and in Frankfurt am Main (where Rothschild had his bank) in 1786. The Illuminati sought control over the press and began placing their infiltrators behind the scenes as “experts”. The Order also wanted to influence schools. Rothschild’s most important lackey, Weishaupt, was also sent to Paris with unlimited funds to bribe capable men, organize a revolt and depose the king. A secret committee was set up at the Masonic convention in February 1785 to co-ordinate the actions of the revolution. It included: Saint-Martin, Etrilla, Franz Anton Mesmer, Cagliostro, Mirabeau, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (actually T. Perigord), Bode, Dahlberg, Baron de Gleichen, Lavater, Count Louis de Hesse, and representatives of the Grand Orient from Poland and Lithuania (“The Trail of the Serpent”, p. 73.) Weishaupt always played a leading role at the Illuminati’s meetings in Paris. He invited thousands of murderers to Paris. These so-called revolutionaries, who worked to undermine the established order, were often young and many among them were Jews or freemasons, according to the historian Henrik Berggren, Ph.D. (Dagens Syheter, 20th January 1987, Berggren’s “The Grammar of the Revolution”). The three hundred men who seized power under the French Revolution were all Illuminati. (Gerald B. Winrod, “Adam Weishaupt – a Human Devil”, p. 37.) Marat and Robespierre officially belonged to a “revolutionary” organization, The Embittered. The Association of Equals had also been active in Paris since 1786. This organization had, in the same year, already decided where to imprison the “enemies of the people.” The revolutionary leaders Mirabeau, Garat, Robespierre, Marat, Danton, Desmoulins and many others were Illuminati, according to Gerald B. Winrod, “Adam Weishaupt – a Human Devil” (p. 36). According to Nesta Webster, Danton and Mirabeau were originally members of the Masonic lodge Les Amis Reunis (The Reunited Friends), upon which the Illuminati also put their mark. Louis Leon Saint-Just, called one of the fathers of totalitarianism, was also a freemason. The Illuminati took over the Jacobin clubs already in 1789. 152 of these clubs were active on the 10th August 1790, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The Jacobins had a centralized network over all France. The first club was taken over by Weishaupt’s close collaborators Bode and Baron de Busche. The Jacobin funds amounted to 30 million livres in 1791. Honest researchers have pointed out that the history of the Jacobins is in fact a part of the history of the Illuminati. We must not forget that one of Weishaupt’s titles was “Patriarch of the Jacobins.” The National Assembly was moved into an old manège on the Rue de Rivoli in October 1789. The radicals sat to the left of the chairman, the conservatives to the right. Hence the Illuminati created left and right as ideological concepts in world politics. Everything that had to do with the left was thereafter considered progressive since it was true Illuminism. At the same time, the “revolutionaries” began to plunder castles of their art treasures. The Jewish writer Anatole France described in his book “The Thirsty Gods” how inspectors with tricolor ribbons around their collars began to turn up at the homes of the wealthy to search for riches. Delighted foreign art dealers bought sculptures and fragments of frescoes. Load after load of confiscated art collections were shipped over the English Channel. The “revolution” was lucrative for the Illuminati and the speculators. All of this was repeated during and after the so-called Russian revolution. The mighty finance dynasty of the Rothschilds was born out of the French “revolution.” The Rothschilds are still in control behind the scenes today, especially within the European Union. The government reached a deficit that made the pre-Revolutionary debts seem quite modest in comparison. The debt equaled 800 tons of gold, or 40 per cent of the total gold production of the world during the entire 18th century. The debts owed on the state deficit consumed half of the French budget. All this money found its way into the hands of profiteering Jewish moneylenders. The real losers in the “revolution” were the Illuminati’s tools — the simple people. The land rights of the small peasants were taken away. The church charities ceased abruptly and any attempt at improving the conditions for loan-takers was regarded as a conspiracy against the state. The ranks of derelicts swelled. During Napoleon’s days one in five Parisians lived by begging. On the 17th of January 1795, a revolutionary “sister-state” was founded in the Netherlands — the republic of Batavia, where Amsterdam became the capital. Napoleon oversaw the conversion of this state into the kingdom of Holland in 1806. Jewish “revolutionaries” immediately saw to it that the Jews received full citizenship and so that they had their hands free to act. Maximilien Marie Isidore Robespierre (1758-1794) published a work entitled “To Protect the Political Rights of the Jews” as early as in 1789. Protection of Jewish rights was obviously considered the main priority. Louis Joseph Marchand, friend of Napoleon Bonaparte, wrote in 1895 that Robespierre was actually a Jew by the name of Ruban from Alsace (“In Napoleon’s Shadow,” San Francisco, 1998). The myth maintains that this was done to throw off the yoke of tyranny and to protect human rights. In actual fact, the Illuministic reign of terror abolished human rights altogether. It became forbidden for workers to organize and strike for better conditions. This prohibition was legislated on the 14th of June 1791. (Etienne Martin-Saint-Leon, “Les deux C.G.T., syndicalisme et communisme”, Paris, 1923, p. 7.) The Illuminist coup in France brought none of the improvements that corrupt historians try to make us believe in; instead it resulted in an orgy of violence and intrigue. What have Jewish ideologues said about this “revolution” in France? Archives Israelites admitted very ambiguously on the 6th of June 1889: “The French Revolution has a very expressive Hebraic character.” The aim of this new politics, pursued for the people’s (the Illuminati’s) own best, was indubitably totalitarian (Svenska Dagbladet, 14th March 1989). These experiences were exploited later in Russia when the Illuminati, who called themselves Bolsheviks, paid homage to the men responsible for this revolutionary terrorism: A statue of Robespierre (Ruban), whose family had immigrated to France from Ireland, was erected and a massive armoured cruiser (as well as several factories) were given the name Marat (actually Mosessohn). Gustavus III was also prepared to send 16,000 Swedish soldiers to help forge a European alliance to crush the French Revolution. He banned the Marseillaise in Sweden. Because of this, the earlier decision to murder the king was carried out. On the 16th of March 1792, Gustavus III was fatally wounded at a masked ball by the freemason Jakob Johan Anckarstrom. The king had been warned about possible assassination attempts but had not taken these warnings seriously. A bust of Anckarstrom stands in the lodge chamber of the Grand Orient in Paris. The international Illuminati leaders held a conference in New York in 1850. They made preparations to start an International. An American committee was set up. Clinton Roosevelt, Horace Greeley and Charles Dana became its leaders. Another group was formed to co-ordinate acts of terrorism. The Italian Jew Giuseppe Mazzini (born 1805 in Genoa) was selected to lead this group. He had been an Illuminatus since 1837 and was a freemason of the highest (33rd) degree. He assumed leadership of the Bavarian Illuminati. After Mazzini’s death in 1872 his position was taken over by the Jew Adriano Lemmi, who was a revolutionary conspirator and Grand Master of the Grand Orient in Italy. The first enthusiast for Illuminism in Italy was Count Filippo Struzzi, who founded many lodges around Italy and acted as their leader. (Charles William Heckethorn, “Secret Societies”, Moscow, 1993, p. 206.) Giuseppe Garibaldi was also an Illuminatus.The members of the Garibaldi movement wore red shirts. Terrible atrocities began to take place in Italy, France, Spain, Austria and Russia after the aforementioned conference. Mazzini had the Duke of Parma murdered in 1854, as well as the judges who sentenced the murderers. Violent anarchists raged about until the beginning of the First World War. Tens of thousands of people lost their lives. The world was to be divided into different blocks, which were to be put into violent opposition to each other. This operation was controlled from London. On the 29th of July 1900, King Umberto I was murdered by the freemason Gaetano Bresci in Monza, despite the fact that he was a member of the lodge Savoia Illuminata. The murderer Bresci belonged to an American lodge in Paterson, New Jersey. Over the years, the Illuminati have moved their headquarters between different cities. In the 1870s it was in Frankfurt am Main. According to Nordisk Familjebok it was in Berlin in 1907. Brockhaus Enzyklopadie (Wiesbaden, 1970) stated that the Illuminati were legalized in 1896. Their leader then was Leopold Engel, who published the Illuminati’s history in 1906 (“Geschichte des Illuminatenordens”). According to “Meyers Enzyklopadisches Lexikon”, the various national llluminati groups combined to form a world association in 1925. According to Store Norske Lexikon (Oslo, 1979, Vol. 6, p. 183), the Illuminati still continue their activities as a secret organization. The Illuminati’s headquarters moved to Switzerland during the First World War and to New York after the Second World War (The Harold Pratt building, 58, East 68th Street). The Rockefellers now funded the Illuminati instead of the Rothschilds (William Guy Carr, “Pawns in the Game”.) An especially useful tool of the Illuminati in the 20th century has been the I.G. Farben company, led by its Jewish chief Max Warburg. Today, the Illuminati control the whole Masonic movement. They also control Rotary, Lions, B’nai B’rith, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group, Skull & Bones, Bohemian Club and similar groups. Rotary International was founded by Paul Harris (member of B’nai B’rith) in Chicago in 1905. The Lions Club was also founded by B’nai B’rith in Chicago in 1917.” xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Frankist Ecstatics of

Schuster was inspired by the works of Philippe Buonarroti. The League of Outlaws had a pyramidal structure inspired by the secret society of the Republican Carbonari, and shared ideas with Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier's utopic socialism. Their aim was to establish a "Social Republic" in the German states which would respect "freedom", "equality" and "civic virtue". In 1836 the most extreme, chiefly proletarian elements of the secret democratic-republican Outlaws' League, which was founded by German refugees in Paris in 1834, split off and formed the new secret League of the Just. The parent League, in which only sleepy-headed elements à la Jakobus Venedey were left, soon fell asleep altogether; when in 1840 the police scented out a few sections in Germany, it was hardly even a shadow of its former self.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Knights of KKK The political evolution
of the Knights of the Ku Klux The new League of Just Men, on the contrary, developed comparatively rapidly. Originally it was a German outlier of the French worker-Communism, reminiscent of Babouvism and taking shape in Paris at about this time; community of goods was demanded as the necessary consequence of "equality". The aims were those of the Parisian secret societies of the time: half propaganda association, half conspiracy, Paris, however, being always regarded as the central point of revolutionary action, although the preparation of occassional putsches in Germany was by no means excluded. But as Paris remained the decisive battleground, the League was at that time actually not much more than the German branch of the French secret societies. The League of Just Men participated in the Blanquist uprising of May 1839 in Paris. prominent members of the League of the Just: the type-setter Karl Schapper, the watchmaker Joseph Moll and others, connected with the Blanquist secret Société des Saisons which organised the Paris uprising of May 12, 1839. Schapper and Moll took part in the uprising, were prosecuted by the French authorities and compelled to leave for England, where they headed local branches of the League. Engels made their acquaintance in the spring of 1843 in London, as he wrote later in his article "On the History of the Communist League". The League of Just Men moved to London where they founded a front group, the Educational Society for German Working-men, in 1840. While Weitling moved to Switzerland, Bauer and Schapper escaped to London. It became an international organization, which Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Johann Eccarius later joined. The emigrant workers of other nationalities also participated in the League's activities. The internationalisation of the League and the evolution of its members' views under the influence of the ideas of Marx and Engels led to its reorganisation into the Communist League in 1847. In their infamous 1976 book None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Gary Allen and Larry Abraham claim that Karl Marx was approached by the Illuminati - calling themselves The League Of Just Men (Bund der Gerechten) - who commissioned him to write his Communist Manifesto. The League of Just Men was said to be simply an extension of the Illuminati, which was forced to go deep underground after it was exposed by a raid in 1786 conducted by the Bavarian authorities.

Revolution http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/html/je ... cy_32.html "The Jews are nothing but an ignorant and barbaric people, which have for a long time combined the most loathsome avarice with the most abominable superstition and inextinguishable hated of all peoples by whom they are tolerated, and through whom they are enriched." Voltaire, the French writer François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778) who was the embodiment of 18th century Enlightenment "Jews have to be conceived not as a sect, but as a nation. They are a nation within other nations ... The Jews are a nation capable of the most horrible crimes ... We must look at the Jews not only as a distinct race, but as an aliens. It would be a most awful humiliation to be ruled by this, the most base race on earth ... I wanted to make a nation of citizens out of them, but they are good for nothing but dealing in second hand goods. I was compelled to proclaim laws against them for their usury and the peasants of Elace have rendered me their thanks ... I decided to improve the Jews: but I do not want any more of them in my Kingdom: indeed, I have done all to prove my scorn of the vilest nation in the world." Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) French general who became emperor of the French and sought to forge Europe into a regenerate Holy Roman Empire "The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization. The managers remain studiously concealed and masked; but there is no doubt about their presence from the first." Lectures on the French Revolution, by John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, First Baron Acton (1910) "Remember the French Revolution to which it was we who gave the name of 'Great.' The secrets of its preparation are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands." Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion No. 7 "We were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.' The stupid Gentile poll parrots flew down from all sides on to these baits, and with them carried away the well-being of the world. The would-be-wise men of the Gentiles were so stupid that they could not see that in nature there is no equality, and there cannot be freedom." Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion No. 1
By the late 1780s, the Dark Adepts of the Inner Lodge who controlled French Freemasonry had committed it to their Dark Agenda to overthrow the French government and destroy the royal House of Bourbon. They allowed the more idealistic in the Outer Lodge to believe that this subversion was justified and that it was part of a wide-ranging plan to end all autocratic regimes, not just in France. A simple-minded, naive assumption concretised in the Freemasonic slogan "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité." Thus, the Mason dupes of the Outer Lodge of French Freemasonry had committed themselves to the World Revolutionary Movement whose ultimate aim is the sweeping away of Natural Moral Order on Earth. Moreover, had committed themselves to one of the most terrible events in European history .. the revolution in France. The revolution in France was an astonishing event: the most startling event in the history of Europe since the fall of Imperial Rome. Here, in one of the most cultured nations on Earth and with solid foundations on Christian principles of government, a small Jacobin minority was able to enforce its will on France as that of "the people" and then set about destroying French culture and ipso facto attempted to subvert Western Christian Civilisation itself. How can this be so? How can a rag bag of loafers, foul libertines, blackguards and neer do wells overturn the ancient, lawful government of France and kill its king and queen? The answer, of course, is that this motley crew of treasonous French Freemasons did not organise the revolution. Rather, that a far more organised power with immense resources, an alien entity, was the intelligence and resource behind the terrible events in France. When the so-called French Revolution is studied with the dispassionate eye of a true historical researcher, and not through the jaundiced eye of a professional historian, the heavy presence of Dark Freemasonry, the International Jew Revolutionaries and Jewish International Usurers can be easily discerned. Moreover, Proper Students of History, those who study the Hidden Stream of History, easily discern in the shadows, the Hidden Hands that guided these sinister powers in their actions. They perceive the Dark Power overseeing it all, the Dark Intelligence orchestrating the evil and the tumult: and with heavy hearts, they perceive the presence and organising mind of the Secret Masters of the Dark Empire of Secret Societies ... the High Initiates of the Cult of Evil. The so-called "the Elect of Freemasonry," the "Princes of Masonry." In other words, they perceive that the Black Adepts of Illuminised Freemasonry, and by them, the Cabal of Evil, had control of French Freemasonry and it was these Secret Masters of Masonry, the Inner Brethren who formed the Lodge within the Lodge, which led it into acts of High Treason against the king and heinous acts against the French people. The Illuminati infiltration of Freemasonry had been rapid and the
disease of sedition, of hatred of established order and
established religion, soon raged throughout the Lodges of Europe,
but especially in the Lodges of Grand Orient Freemasonry, and
especially those in France and Germany. "their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it to systematically corrupt modern civilization. The Jews will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos, in order that the earth should become the inheritance of Israel." Letter to Conrad Siem in 1876, published in La Vieille France, March 1921. The mechanism used by the "High Financial Power of Europe" to "plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos" was the World Revolutionary Movement operating through myriad organs but especially through the Lodges of Dark Freemasonry, often called Judaeo-Freemasonry. Moreover, a radical War Plan that was merely a modern update of the Ancient Evil Agenda for World Government ... the ancient War Plan of Evil against God and against the people of the world, which is the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy for World Government. The World Revolutionary Movement is the modern War Plan of Evil whose first targets were the destruction of the Bourbons of France and then ordered society in Italy. It was also during the planning of World Revolutionary Movement that the murders of two kings were resolved upon, Louis XVI (1754-1793) of France and Gustavus III (1746-92) of Sweden. By 1787, the Illuminati, and by this the Cult of Evil, was deeply embedded in Freemasonry and had secretly spread to France. Their agentur was the Goy Mason dupe Count Gabriel Victor Riqueti de Mirabeau (1749-91) who together with the visible leaders of the Revolution, and many unknown others, had pledged allegiance to the Dark Conspiracy; the Agenda of Evil that was nothing less, even if they knew it or not, than the wholesale subversion of Christendom using the Illuminist principles of spiritual and moral corruption, blackmail, sedition, murder, assassination and rebellion. The revolution in France was the first significant success of the modernised War Plan of Evil; the Ahrimanic-inspired plan to tear down the thrones and altars of Christendom. And crucial to this success was the Invisible Money Power coupled to Judaeo-Freemasonry, which are now both indispensable to the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy for World Government. Thus, Judaeo-Freemasonry was the seemingly new phenomenon that had garnered for itself such power, in so a short a time, that it could organise a successful revolution by which one small section of a nation conquered all other sections; and moreover, swept away every feature of the national life and tradition of that nation. An apparently recent phenomenon of such power and energy that swept away all before it; A new and terrible force that had entered the Arena of History. Yet, the truth of the matter is that this Dark Force is very ancient indeed. Moreover, one that had been amplifying itself through the centuries and had now reached the point whereby it could destroy entire nations and their culture. Moreover, a terrible power that could do all these things and still conceal itself behind "the people" and "the mob." This, of course, was the Confederacy of Evil concealed in Dark Freemasonry, in Judaeo-Freemasonry, and enthroned in the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies. The horrors in France could never have happened without massive material support: without the support of the Invisible Money Power but especially the Jew and his money -the terrible Power of the Jewish Purse. For, Dark Freemasonry and its World Ambition had been wedded to the Jewish One World Ambition and Jewish money had poured in to the Illuminati and used to transform Freemasonry into the "nursery school" of the World Revolutionary Movement. Put differently, the rancorous Jew with his enduring hate and enmity for the Gentile and his God, his Kabbalah and his money became essential to the success of the Dark Conspiracy for World Empire, which is nothing less than the wholesale subversion of Christendom. Thus, at the centre of the World Revolutionary Movement, the network of sedition and corruption, like a spider in its web, sat the Jewish International Usurer, the undisputed king of International Usury. Who, if not privy to the inner secrets of the Cult of Evil, was at least mindful of the ancient hatred and secret rancour his race held for Christ and therefore God, and thus aided whatever cause would assuage this enduring Jewish hate for the Gentile, his nations and his God. The French Revolution began in 1789 with the meeting of the States General in May but it was the storming of the Bastille on July 14 of that same year that galvanised the disparate forces of sedition. In October, Louis XVI (1754-93) and the Royal Family were removed from Versailles to Paris, and then later the King attempted, unsuccessfully, to flee Paris for Varennes in June 1791. From October 1791 until September 1792 a Legislative Assembly presided over the misery, but in the face of the advance of the allied armies of Austria, Holland, Prussia and Sardinia, it was replaced by the National Convention, which proclaimed the Republic. The unfortunate Louis was brought to trial in December of 1792, and executed on January 21, 1793 and the revolutionary government soon after declared war on Britain. Mirabeau, Danton and other men of action had seen that the one great need of the Revolution, if it was to prevail without the interference of foreign armies, was the creation of a strong executive government. The establishment of the "Committees of Public Safety and of General Security" achieved this, for the success of this Committee in suppressing the Norman insurrection had confirmed the majority of the National Convention in the expediency of strengthening its powers. Soon after, the Reign of Terror, during which the ruling faction ruthlessly exterminated all potential enemies, of whatever sex, age or condition, began. This assault on Natural Moral Order began in September of 1793 and lasted until the fall of Robespierre on July 27, 1794: and in the period known as the "Red Terror," during the last six weeks of The Terror, nearly fourteen hundred people were guillotined in Paris alone. The Convention was soon replaced in October 1795 with the Directory, which was in turn replaced in 1799, by the Consulate. Eventually, a truly historic figure arose out of the ashes of France and became Emperor in May of 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). The so-called "Little Corporal," who, along with the other "Little Corporal" a 150 years later and better known as Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), anticipated the Great Dictator in the coming New World Order. The heart and head of the "Great Revolution" was the infamous Jacobin club whose members included very wicked and evil men who served different gods than those in the Bible. The Jacobin club was the most famous of the political clubs of the French Revolution. Its origin was in the Club Breton, which was established at Versailles shortly after the opening of the States General in 1789 and was at first composed exclusively of deputies from Brittany, but was soon joined by others from various parts of France. Among its early members were Comte de Mirabeau (1749-91), Maximilien Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758-94), Sieyès, Barnave, Pétion, the Abbé Grégoire, Charles and Alexandre Lameth, the duc d'Aiguillon, and La Revellière-Lépeaux. Although the club's initial aims were benign long before it emerged as the principal focus of The Terror, its character had been profoundly changed by the elimination of the moderate elements from the club. Hence the ascendancy of two very wicked men, Jean Paul Marat (1743-93), who was a leader in the overthrow of the Girondists and was stabbed to death in his bath by Charlotte Corday, and finally of Robespierre, supposed architect of the Reign of Terror. Once the revolutionaries toppled the monarchy, the malevolent Robespierre was in effect the Jacobin Club, for, to the tribunes he was the oracle of political wisdom, and his perverted morality and malevolent standard judged all others and upon his fall the Jacobins too came to an end. The name "Jacobins" was first applied to the club in ridicule by its enemies and comes from the building the club rented for its base, the refectory of the monastery of the Jacobins in the Rue St Honoré, near the seat of the Assembly. The name of "Jacobins" had been popularly applied to all advocates of extreme revolutionary opinions long before the suppression of the Jacobin Club. And, in this sense, the term has passed beyond the borders of France and long survived the "Great Revolution." The Jacobin club was thus an amalgam of personalities moving in various philosophical streams and revolutionary currents whose ideology was, for want of a better name and for the sake of convenience, simply called "Jacobinism." The men who met at the Jacobin club and plotted treason were a "society of deputies" whose figurehead was Robespierre and who acted so as to concentrate power in their own hands; believing that the truth of their vision was sufficient guarantee of their authority to act. They acted to garner such power that their will would prevail over everything and everyone on the land. Moreover, since the people, being ignorant and cannot be expected to understand or willingly adopt the aims of the revolution, must be compelled towards their aims and so bent to their will. Jacobinism therefore describes not only the underlying principles of the men who met at Jacobin club but also any revolutionary movement that is determined to impose its aims at whatever cost, in the conviction that the end justifies the means. It is, of course, the philosophy and modus operandi of the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies and each and everyone of its myriad spawn. As it is also the watchword of its unholy progeny, such as the Jew Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov calling himself "Lenin" who gloated amidst the destruction of Christian Mother Russia and the mass slaughter her Christian children that he and his kind were "Jacobins tied to the proletariat." A veritable river of blood flowed through France as The Terror raged across the land. When the French people, their culture and their religion were ritually tortured by men who were swept up by the tidal wave of hate nurtured, then catastrophically released, by the Dark Guardians of the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy for World Government. The untrue and much abused slogan "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" was shouted by thugs and murderers while equally the facile mantras of "common man" and "democratic rights" were proclaimed by people who thought nothing of stamping their boot in their neighbour's face. And, cast over all these outrages against common decency, public morality and natural law was the long, dark shadow of the "Committee of Public Safety and of General Security." The impersonal government entity, the bureaucratic instrument of state oppression, which, at a stroke of a pen by a functionary sitting at his desk, condemned thousands to death. For here, in Robespierre's power base, is the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and mass executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities. A bitter fruit that would not reach its fullest bloom until the terrors unleashed by the Bolshevik Zionist Jews in Russia, the Nazis in Germany and the Maoists in China. Prince Petr Kropotkin (1880-1920) the Russian naturalist, author, anarchist and soldier writing in 1909 on the eve of a truly dreadful event, the Bolshevik Revolution, whose horrors would dwarf even those that had occurred in France said: "What we learn from the study of the Great Revolution is that it was the source of all the present communist, anarchist and socialist conceptions." Kropotkin was of course correct, for the French Revolution was
the precursor of the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first
century assault on Natural Moral Order on Earth by Dark Forces
inimical to God, Christ and Christendom. The French Revolution
should therefore be seen as the first great revolution and triumph
of humanism and humanist law over Christianity and Christian law.
It was the second (the English Civil War the first) of the great
travails planned by the Dark Adepts of Organised Evil to overturn
all established order on Earth: the second of the planned
revolutions that were part of a meticulously conceived agenda to
subvert Moral Order on Earth that is sometimes referred to as the
World Revolutionary Movement. "The demand of the Communaute de Paris, now the Sanhedrin of the Jacobins, was, of course, for blood ... The power of the Jacobins was irresistible in Paris, where Robes Pierre, Danton and Marat shared the high places in the synagogue ... The principal leaders of the Commune seem to have been foreigners." Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon, Vol. 2 "I dare not name them at this moment and in this place. I cannot bring myself entirely to tear asunder the veil that covers this profound mystery of iniquity. But I can affirm most positively that among the authors of this plot are the agents of that system of corruption and extravagance, the most powerful of all the means invented by foreigners for the undoing of the Republic; I mean the impure apostles of atheism, and the immorality that is at its base'." Robespierre's speech before the Convention hours before his arrest and execution 28th July, 1794 "When all is said and done, it was hatred for the Church that caused the French Revolution ... The throne had been destroyed because it protected the altar." Heinrich Heine, Jewish poet whose inner rancour for the Gentile, his civilisation and his God shines forth in a frank admission of the driving force of the French Revolution: Judaeo-Freemasonry and Talmudic Jewry and their combined hatred for, and shared dreamed destruction of, Christianity Marquis of Rosanbe: "We are then in complete agreement on the point that Freemasonry was the only author of the revolution, and the applause which I receive from the Left, and to which I am little accustomed, proves gentlemen, that you acknowledge with me that it was Masonry which made the French Revolution?" M. Jumel, a well known Grand Orient Mason: "We do more than acknowledge it ... we proclaim it!" Part of a debate, which took place on the part Freemasonry played in the French Revolution in the French Chamber of Deputies in 1904, proving French Freemasonry was the author of the French Revolution. Convent du Grand Orient 1923, p. 402, "The Illuminati control masonry." "To the French Republic, daughter of French Freemasonry. To the
universal republic of tomorrow, daughter of universal Masonry."
Henry Delassus, President of the Grand Orient, toast at a big
banquet in 1923 attended by many men prominent in International
Affairs, some of whom were connected with the "League of Nations"
organisation: quoted in La Conjuration Anti-Chrétienne Vol. I, p.
146; Even when its visible leaders like Duc d'Orleans, Mirabeau, Danton, Marat and Robespierre were consumed by the terrible destructive powers they had help raise, the war against God and its fight against the Christian religion was resolutely prosecuted, no matter what the human cost. The Dark Powers that energised the assault on France, her people, culture and God concealed itself well. It lay well shrouded letting Danton and is kind take centre stage but which truly held the reins of power in the land, Moreover, its dark ambition to obliterate French culture was couched in revolutionary rhetoric and concealed behind such talk about "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity." Those who study History properly, who perceive the Hidden Stream of History and the Hidden Hands guiding events, moreover, who understand the way of the world, are the Proper Students of History. And it these Proper Students of History who perceive the hidden forces operating in France in the 18th Century. Moreover, who understand that the revolution was not the work of Frenchmen intent upon improving France but, rather, an alien force whose object was to destroy everything that had been France. In fact, the very same Dark Force that descended on Christian Mother Russia in 1917 intent upon her destruction. The knowing eye of the Proper Student of History sees the baneful presence of a dark, alien force in high places in the Revolutionary Councils. But especially, the presence of a modern phenomenon: the revolutionary International Jew who had recently empowered himself by gaining admittance into the Lodges of Freemasonry. Hence, the references by percipient contemporary observers to "foreigners" in positions of power in the Freemason-engineered destruction of Christian France. A quaint, modern myth has it that revolutions are invariably the overthrow of a government by a disaffected citizenry who are forced by extreme circumstances to act violently to redress ancient wrongs and injustices. That is, it is "the people" or the "mob" who are the driving force behind revolutions. Moreover, that these "popular" revolutions only occur in corrupt, decadent societies drunk on self-indulgence and moral decay. A situation described in the maxim: "Revolution is a blow struck at a paralytic." However, this, like many modern myths, is an absurdity. Anyone who thinks upon the matter of revolution for even a few moments should quickly realise that revolutions can not simply happen spontaneously. That revolution is not something undertaken lightly. Moreover, that it requires enormous resources involving finance, planning and logistics. Put differently, modern revolutions are immense undertakings requiring immense organisation and vast resources. Moreover, a dangerous enterprise that requires inordinate cunning and secrecy for its successful preparation. Things "mobs" and "the people" do not posses and so could not possibly undertake such a complicated and costly operation. To think otherwise will result in total inability to recognise the source and focus of a modern revolution; but especially, failure to recognise the true significance of events. In short, modern revolutions are not the spontaneous eruption of popular discontent but the bitter fruit of a dark, organising intelligence with immense resources, power and influence that seeks to conceal itself while violently, catastrophically, changing Western Christian Civilisation. The process of Revolution is fourfold: first, the deliberate moral corruption of the people; second to the inflict paralysis upon the doomed state, paralyse its body politic; third, the striking of the fatal blows that bring down the lawful government; and fourth, consolidation of power by the application of terror and persecution. All the while thoroughly debasing the morals of the people by flooding the country with propaganda and pornography. The inordinate secrecy and subterfuge is essential in the first process, the production of paralysis. In modern revolutions, its outward signs manifest in the doomed state as out of control national debt, loss of control of the press and the mushrooming of alien-influenced secret societies and organisations. Debt of all kinds, personal, national and particularly international debt, is the prerequisite for the success of any revolution. It is indispensable to the planning of revolutions and is the cornerstone of the World Revolutionary Movement. That is why the Invisible Money Power is so crucial to the Ancient Evil Agenda for World Government. For, its by the tightening of the debt grip by the Invisible Money Power that the life-force of a nation is slowly extinguished. When men in high places are corrupted and alien powers and influences are allowed full access into the body politic without significant opposition or complaint. Thus, soon when the debt grip has been firmly established, as the hangman's noose is put over the head, so to speak, control of every form of propaganda and political activity soon follows, together with control of financiers and industrialists. Then, the time is right for the second process to unfold: the violent, revolutionary blows. Hence, the two pronged attack: financial indebtedness, which establishes the paralysis of the nation; and the violent acts of revolution that delivers the fatal blows. Of course, the deliberate corruption of the nation's morals facilitates the whole process. Hence, in France, before the Illuminist led revolutionary forces overwhelmed the country, a financial paralysis was making its appearance in 1780. The Invisible Money Power was by then firmly established and possessed a large share of the world's gold and silver stocks such that they had not only France in their debt but also most of Europe as well. For, with the rise of Rothschild and the various Jewish International Usurers a fundamental change had taken place in the economic structure of Europe. Hitherto wealth had been largely a measure of land possession, of crops, herds and minerals; but now a new standard was used, namely, Representative Money to which the title "credit" had been given. In other words, the old standard had ceased to be wealth and had, perversely, become debt. Although by the 1780s the French national debt was substantial it was by no means insurmountable, except in terms of gold and silver neither of which France produce. However, it was a situation easily resolved by the French king and his advisors simply by issuing their own money backed by the security of the lands and real wealth of France i.e. based upon the old standard of wealth. Yet, this was not done. The grip of the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies and their Invisible Money Power was such that those capable of doing so either could not or would not break with the system imposed by the Jewish International Usurers. Consequently, France's debt burden become ever onerous as the bonds of usury grew heavier and more terrible. Just as the Dark Masters in the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies had planned. Concomitant with the rise of the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies is the rise of the Invisible Money Power whose outward expression is the Jewish International Usurers, the Hufjuden, the modern court Jew made grand. The arch-manipulators of gold and silver, who had succeeded in turning upside down the finances of Europe. Who had managed by the careful exploitation of human greed and fallibility to replace real wealth by usurious loans. However, the knowing eye of the Proper Student of History sees that behind the Hufjuden there is another, greater force: the Occult Hierarchy, the Dark Lords of Power, the Evil Architects of the Ancient Agenda for World Government, who are also behind the new debt machine of credit creation. But, it is "the Jews" with their ancient secret rancour for the Gentile his nations and his God who were chosen by Organised Evil on Earth to be the purveyors of this ruinous enterprise. Thus, those identified as directly financing the revolution in France: "the Jews" Benjamin Goldsmid, his brother Abraham Goldsmid, Moses Mocatta, their partner, and his nephew Sir Moses Montifiore in London; "the Jews" Daniel Itsig and his son-in-law David Friedlander in Berlin, and the Jew Herz Cerfbeer of Alsace. Walter Scott (1771-1832) in his Life of Napoleon, Vol. 1, describes the situation overwhelming France thus: "These financiers used the government as bankrupt prodigals are treated by usurious moneylenders, who feeding their extravagance with the one hand, with the other wring out of their ruined fortunes the most unreasonable recompenses for their advances. By a long succession of these ruinous loans, and the various rights granted to guarantee them, the whole finances of France were brought to total confusion." This then was the undoing of France. What was now planned for her and her people was the agony of violent revolution and the application of State Terror.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1. The Birth of Communism In 1785, the Bavarian Government exposed Adam Weishaupt's plan
to destroy Christianity and control governments. However, this was
not the end of the Illuminati, as most historians have written.
Weishaupt's plans were only interrupted and dealt with as a
dangerous revolutionary force in Germany. The other nations that
the Illuminati were operating in did not heed the warning from the
Bavarian Government. Just a couple of years later, the plan to
destroy Christianity and World Governments was first seen in the
French Revolution. This same revolutionary force reappeared again
in Germany, called "The League of the Just" [1], with branches in
London, Brussels, Paris, and Switzerland. |
