Continued from Chapter 10 The Jesuit Brothers of the Pyramid — Shaping Events During The 1700’s.

LOOKING FOR A SUSPECT

Of all the creatures that God placed upon the earth, only Mankind was given the ability to think; to plan. And for the most of us, the plans we make will only affect ourselves and our children within our own life-spans. However, certain passions, like longing to fly or harnessing nature’s elements have driven men’s minds to thinking and planning for many generations. But for even a longer period of time, there have been those few men with not so benevolent plans; sinister minds with an unsatiated lust for power and war, a passion to conquer and rule over others. Man’s dream of flying has been fulfilled, as has so many other of his technological goals we enjoy today. So if by thinking, man has the ability to bring what once seemed to be impossible dreams for good to reality — why not the same for evil? Why should it be considered too ridiculous or absurd to believe that men of this mind-set would think out and formulate a Master-Plan that would enable them one day to rule the world? It seems, on the contrary, when taking into consideration the carnal nature of man, that to ‘not’ believe man would devise such a plan, would be even more ridiculous.

The preceding chapters have endeavored to show that there is undeniably a conspiracy plot by an elite few who want to control the world. But it is an Occultic agenda. By subtly utilizing and propagating occult practices and influences — popularized by its Sun Worship rituals, architecture symbolism, calendar dates, fertility rites and magicians — Occultism becomes the driving force propelling this global scheme to its final climax. And regardless of other conspiracy writers who so ardently want to blame the Protestants, the Capitalist West, and even the Jews for all the miseries in the world; (although some have been cleverly placed in prominent positions as decoys) these same writers, with vehemence, are reluctant to even remotely consider a much more suitable global and occultic suspect… So it seemed very reasonable and logical to examine an already self proclaimed georeligious-geopolitical organization; renown, in that it boldly and haughtily declares its global agenda and ambitions — and in its very name — the Roman Universal (Catholic) Church. What better evidence is needed for a place to look when the word “Catholicism” literally means and is synonymous with universalism and globalism.

As with any “pyramidal” scheme, whether it is in marketing, Freemasonry, the Jesuits, or the Roman Catholic Church; it is a hierarchy. Those at the top level of the pyramid leech off the efforts and revenues of the hundreds of thousands of those under them at the lower levels. Nor is it intended for those while at the bottom to ever know the purposes and affairs of those at the top. The lower levels are intentionally lied to and deceived, so as to make them to ‘think’ that they know. Many Freemasons when enlightened on certain points related to Freemasonry will honestly exclaim: I have never heard, or was I ever taught such a thing in the lodge. You can believe they are telling the truth. It is the same innocent reaction, when out of love, viewpoints related to Catholicism are shared with a friend or relative who has been educated in the Roman Catholic school system. They just do not know. Nothing is more heart rending than to hear it humbly and sincerely said, ‘everything I know about Christianity, I have learned from the Catholic schools and my Church’. They are speaking from the heart. At the bottom of the pyramid they are taught Christ; at the top, it’s an occultic different matter.

As impossible as it seems for most people to believe that Catholicism is involved in the promotion of Globalism, it is even more harder for them to believe that Rome is the world’s center for Occultism. However, Christianity for the Roman Church is just a mask; hiding her true identity and nature of the Occult. This is also her ‘most sacred’ double face, of which she has many; purposely giving a false and disbelieving appearance to be opposing her own self. At first thought, this may seem like a very harsh accusation, but in reality, Rome has honed and perfected quite a unique system, using it repeatedly and very successfully. This working principle and process must be clearly understood if anyone is to ever understand the diverting techniques Rome uses to achieve her goals. Intentionally, two apparent contradictories — theses and antitheses — square off at each other, but later are reconciled as syntheses. For example, Christianity being the theses and occultism being antitheses, they, as opposing forces are brought together. What comes out of this mixing is a blend of the two, or a syntheses. We find the most excellent workings of this today right before our eyes in the ecumenical movement, as it strives to join all pagan religions together with Christianity. In philosophical jargon, it is called dialectal materialism.*

GERMANY TARGETED FOR CATHOLIC FREEMASONRY’S ENLIGHTENMENT

With these thoughts in mind, we will now move into the events that shaped the next phases of the “Grand Design”. Pay particular attention to the dates surrounding these events, so as to provide a more comprehensive picture. When Rome launched her counter-offensive to halt the progress of Protestantism, she began in Germany; one of the areas where she felt the sedition was most deeply rooted. When Rome had finished, Germany was depopulated. Its people had either been killed by the Thirty Years’ War or for those fortunate enough, had fled the area. Germany itself had been reduced to a virtual wilderness area. For the next one hundred years Germany staggered as it began its healing process. The terms of the Westphalia peace treaty allowed subjects under their Northern German Protestant princes to practice unmolested their Protestant religion; which enabled many pockets of Protestant resistance to still remain. To neutralize this situation and the effectiveness of Protestantism in Northern Germany and Prussia, Catholic “modified” Freemasonry began its work.

To the disappointment and anger of Rome, the Thirty Years’ War was brought to an end in the year 1648. James II of England was ousted from his throne in 1688, who then fled to France taking with him his brand of Catholic Jacobite Freemasonry. Jacobites determined to recapture the English throne, knew it only could be accomplished by force, for in 1689 James and his son had specifically been denied the succession by an act of Parliament that stated unconditionally that no Roman Catholic or spouse of a Roman Catholic could occupy the British throne. England was now ruled by Protestant thought and Parliament. When in 1715, the third Jacobite revolt was put down, that victory underscored to the world that England was not only Protestant, but also a ‘fortress’ to aptly defend what was Protestant. In 1717 English Protestant Freemasonry, now secure in Protestant England and without fear of being threatened, revealed itself publicly to the world.

However, it was precisely at this time, when English Protestant Freemasonry was feeling the most secure and confident in its accomplishments, that on the other hand, the Jesuits were working the hardest to infiltrate it. English Freemasonry, posing as it did to be pure Protestant, became then the most practical and deceptive tool of the Jesuits for introducing into Germany; especially Northern Protestant Germany. It is also precisely at this time, in the year 1716, that we have the account of the first German Lodge being erected in the city of Cologne, and before the year 1725 there were many others, both in Protestant and Catholic Germany. Those of Wetzlar, Frankfort, Brunswick, and Hamburg are the oldest. Take notice that they received their institution from a mother Lodge in England, not France, even though and very interestingly, all seem to have got the mystery through the same channel, the banished friends of the Stuart family. These were Catholics who entered into the service of Catholic Austria and the Catholic German princes.

By the time year 1745 had rolled around, the year of the disastrous and final revolt to reestablish the Catholic Stuarts on the English throne, which decided forever that the cherished Jacobite dream was a lost cause, Germany had become infested with Catholic “modified” Freemasonry. By then also, Germany was intensely collaborating with its neighbor’s French Freemasonry… To the average person today, an English king being ran off his throne is an insignificant tale. However back then, it not only infuriated the Catholic hierarchy, but its effects even stretched and vibrated across the Atlantic, stirring up many of America’s settlers to where more than nine thousand Scotch Highlanders stormed into the Carolinas to protest the rout of Bonnie Prince Charlie.* The issue at the time, was highly inflammable and emotional… When King James II fled England going to France, France then became the center and command post for all the Catholic outrage that was felt for Protestant England. Later on when Bonnie Charles’ revolt proved futile, the Jacobite cause within Freemasonry was dropped, but emphatically, never with the idea of giving up on making England Catholic. Shifting gears into a much broader and shrewder Plan that would bring the whole world under a cosmopolitan citizenship, Germany then was joined with France, to become a hubbub of activity for Enlightened “modified” Freemasonry.

PRUSSIA’S FREDERICK THE GREAT GIVEN KEY ROLE

Notice now how all of this comes together… Prussia was a state in northern Protestant Germany, who at the time was becoming a recognized military power in Europe. In 1740, the man to be later acclaimed as Frederick the Great, came to the Prussian throne to succeed his father. He was regarded as a Protestant prince, so fitted very conveniently in the scheme of things. Remember the famous oration by the Frenchman, Andrew Michael Ramsay? That was in 1737. The next year, 1738, Frederick is hastily initiated into Freemasonry, at the age of 26, while passing through Brunswick. Prior to that for two years he had been carrying ona correspondence with Voltaire, one of the movers and shakers of the French Enlightenment. As we follow Frederick’s Masonic career, in June 1740 after his accession to the throne, we find him presiding over a lodge at Charlottenburg, where he received into the Order two of his brothers, his brother-in-law, and Duke Frederick William of Holstein-Beck. At his request, the Baron de Bielfeld and his privy councillor Jordan founded a lodge at Berlin, the “Three Globes”, which by 1746 had no less than fourteen lodges under its jurisdiction.

In the same year of 1740 Voltaire, in response to urgent invitations, paid his first visit to Frederick in Germany. These visits became reciprocal between the two nations, for in 1741, Baron von Marschall, and then in 1743, Baron von Hundt were sent to France as representatives of German Freemasonry. In 1750, Voltaire went back to Germany to spend three more years with Frederick. Now watch closely: In 1751 von Hundt founded the Order of Strict Observance. It was so called from the oath it demanded; an oath of unswerving and unquestioning obedience — to the mysterious “unknown superiors”. Its basic teaching was that it had descended directly from the Knights Templar. This was not something new in the Freemasonic circle, for the French prior to this, had developed and taught the same concept under the so called Scottish Rite (later called Scottish Rite of Perfection) with its twenty-five degrees. Baron von Hundt’s Order of Strict Observance merely built upon this by adding another seven degrees, making a total of thirty-two.” Later on when this Scottish Rite migrated to North America and settled in both Boston, Massachusetts and Charleston, South Carolina, one final degree was added to total thirty-three, and then its name was upgraded where it is known the world over today as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites.

When backtracking to the origin of this whole complexity of deception, it brings us straight to the real heart of the matter — the intense hatred of the Roman Catholic Church for anyone or anything that opposes her goals — namely Protestantism. It positively is not a Jewish conspiracy, but strictly Roman Catholic, who have strategically used certain Jews for their cause’s advantage. We can trace this hatred starting with the utter destruction of the Spanish Armada, to all the plots and intrigues in between, that cost the Kings of England Charles I his head and James II his throne. Watch it follow James II into France to incite the Jacobite rebellions in England. See the Jacobite cause, through Andrew Michael Ramsay, develop Freemasonry into the Templar Scottish Rites. See it move into Germany to be built upon and become the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites. Then being carried into the New World; to Boston, Massachusetts, where in 1756, the St. Andrew Lodge was founded that incited the American Revolution against England; to Charleston, South Carolina, where the notorious Luciferian, Albert Pike, on 6 January 1859, became the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston until his death in 1891; who during those years created the Satanic Supreme Rite named the New and Reformed Palladian Rite; who just happened to be residing as Sovereign Grand Commander during the worst war this nation has ever before or since seen, the American Civil War.

Let’s elaborate just a bit more by quoting from several Freemasonic authorities.* First, “The Arcane Schools” by John Yarker, page 480…

“In 1761, the Lodges and Councils of the superior degrees being extended throughout Europe, Frederick II (Frederick the Great) King of Prussia, as Grand Commander of the Order of Princes of the Royal Secret, or 32 degrees, was by general consent acknowledged and recognized as Sovereign and Supreme Head of the Scotch Rite.”

The above statement with regard to the introduction of this rite in America is made in a report by Albert Pike. “History of Freemasonry and Concordant Orders” by H. L. Stillson and W. J. Hughan, page 243…

“On the 25th October 1762, the Grand Masonic Constitutions were finally ratified in Berlin and proclaimed for the government of all Masonic bodies working in the Scotch Rite over the two hemispheres; and in the same year they were transmitted to Stephen Morin, who had been appointed, at the request of Lacorne, in August, 1761, Inspector General for the New World by the Grand Consistory of Princes of the Royal Secret, convened at Paris, under the presidency of Chaillon de Joinville, representative of Frederick (the Great) and Substitute General of the Order. It will be remembered that the 33rd degree was not then created; and under Frederick the Great, there was no rank higher than the 32nd degree nor anybody superior to a Consistory.”

“Scottish Rite Masonry” by Blanchard 33, volume II, page 484…

“And though made within the memory of men now living, we read, in the same Note by Macoy: It is not certainly known, when or where this degree originated; that is to say, its origin is concealed. This is the most infamous Masonic act, next to burning their records of fifty-nine years before the war, (American Civil War) to hide treason. But slavery then ruled the country, and this 33rd Charleston degree ruled the lodge. And the Southern lodge-rooms worked up the most unjustifiable and infamous war on record. The Southern people were dragooned into it, by leaders secretly sworn to obey Masonic leaders, or have their throats cut.”

“Adriano Lemmi” by Domenico Margiotta 33, Page 86.

“In 1795, Isaac Long went to Europe, leaving Colonel John Mitchell the direction of the Mother Lodge of Charleston. When he returned to the United States, six years later, he brought the plan of his great idea, which was the creation of a rite of 33 degrees destined to become universal. With Colonel John Mitchell, Doctor Frederic Dalcho, Abraham Alexander, Isaac Auld and Emanuel de la Motta, all Sovereign Princes of Jerusalem, he constituted this rite, taking twenty-five degrees of the system of Heredom, six Templar grades in which were merged four degrees borrowed from the German Illuminism of Adam Weishaupt, and two grades called grades of administration, the last of which supplanted the function of Deputy Inspector (Sovereign Prince of Jerusalem) and took the title of Sovereign Grand Inspector General 33rd and last degree. This was his crowning achievement. Isaac Long gave the institution the name of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites, and the first constitutions were signed at Charleston, on May 31st 1801.

And Margiotta comments further from the same book, page 88…

“The Mother Lodge of Boston had ceased functioning for some years but that of Charleston, reconstituted according to the new Scottish System in 33 degrees, became the root of the tree which was to spread its branches over the entire world. The Superior Lodge of the Grand Sovereign Inspectors General, in each country, was to be called the Supreme Council, and it is from the Supreme Council of Charleston that all the others were to emanate. It is thus the first Supreme Council of the Globe.”

It does not take any great amount of imagination, going back to the year 1649, when the People and the Parliamentary Forces tried King Charles I of England for high treason and beheaded him, to picture the anger and rage felt by his widow, Queen Henrietta, and the Royal Family with their adherents exiled in France. An event so dramatic and sensational had to be the top of every Frenchman’s conversation. Listen, if you will… there off in the distance — and you will certainly hear the jungle lions growling, snarling, seeking a way for revenge… In the book “Occult Theocracy” by Lady Queenborough, pages 333 and 334, it says the Royal Family was “warmly welcomed by the Jesuits of France” and “the Jacobites, partisans of the Pretender, secretly plotting as they constantly were, found the newly created Masonic lodges a ground no less well adapted to serve their ends than the Jesuits’ colleges whence all their schemes emanated.”

ALL FREEMASONRY DISGUISED AS PROTESTANT

What can we say to the casual observer of Freemasonry, whose early history and purpose seemed like a hodgepodge of confusion, full of quarrels, schisms, and contradictions; except, that is exactly what its hidden leaders want us to see. Freemasonry is a cover, and must work undercover, knowing that if their goals were exposed, it would be quite repulsive to any sane and civil mind. Anything that diverts attention from their true purposes, and those behind those purposes, so much the better. England is synonymous with everything that is Protestant; so to portray Freemasonry as English and Protestant became an important part of the theatrics. Under this pretense, rival or irregular lodges sprung up with higher degrees for the purpose to merge and alter English Masonry. United and corrupted, charters were then sent out from England’s Mother Lodge to establish lodges in other countries. That is why, the world over, before an initiate can enter into any higher degrees, he must first pass through the first three degrees of English Craft Masonry. Posing to be Protestant, this deception prepared the way for all Freemasonry to declare itself to be anti-clerical, anti- Catholic, anti-monarchy, with liberty, equality, and fraternity for all; with popes thundering their condemnations. Today, their most convenient tactic for diversion is just to say that Freemasonry is Jewish.

After the Jacobite failure of 1745, you see an explosion of Masonic lodges as their recruiting crusade expanded. France and Germany literally became honeycombed with Masonic societies. In less than forty-five years, which brings us to the time of the French Revolution, France is said to have counted over two-thousand lodges affiliated to the Grand Orient, with about one-hundred members, more or less, in each. In Paris alone there were 629 lodges.» To bring rivalry groups together and unite them under a centralized control and to produce a true sense of direction, the first of two Great Masonic Conventions was held at Les Gaules, France in 1768. Out of this, the “Grand Orient” de la France was instituted in 1773, and as the Mother Lodge of Lyons it became the voice and chief repository of Freemasonry in France. German Freemasonry was also centralized in Berlin with Frederick the Great as the Sovereign Grand Commander and head of all Continental Freemasonry; who at the same time colluded with Philippe Egalite, Duc d’ Orleans, Grand Master of the Grand Orient (the richest man in France and ambitious to be king) as his lieutenant.

Continental Freemasonry at this time was nearing a climax that had gradually been working for over several decades. What was the drawing power that seemed to literally pull hundreds of thousands to congregate into these secret societies? For bait, offering something better to any oppressed people, imaginary or not, would certainly arouse some sort of response. The appeal now was not toward replacing the Stuarts on the English throne, but shifted instead, for ushering in a utopian life, promising liberty and equality for all men through a universal brotherhood. There is a sharp contrast here between what true Protestantism sacrificed its life blood for in order to gain basic freedoms and human rights, and taking responsibility for those freedoms by showing respect toward your neighbor — as compared to the exotic and extreme liberties and freedoms offered by Freemasonry that had no regard for God or the rights of others. With such fermentation being agitated in the public mind, the dupes of the lower degrees, as with any pyramidal hierarchy, as previously mentioned, swelled the ranks, preached the deluded doctrines of liberation, and filled the financial coffers for the “unseen hands” guiding them, so that their own diabolical dream of world rulership could be fulfilled.

This peak of agitation: the Great Masonic Convention of 1768: Frederick the Great declared the head of Continental Freemasonry: and the Grand Orient de la France being instituted in 1773, was all a PLAN being orchestrated and brought into play precisely (remember?) when the Jesuit Order was supposedly being dissolved, also in 1773. Jesuits were the epitome of the oppressions of Rome and in an “enlightened” society their voice had to be silenced. Actually, nothing could have served the Jesuit purpose greater, working in dark secret as those at the apex of power in Freemasonry did. As we are caught spellbound watching the scenes of this marvelous drama, there appears on stage another scene that rivets our attention. To the Jesuit, the theater and pageantry was one of their great passions. But now, the whole world becomes their amphitheater and they bring upon the stage one of their most infamous actors.

Anyone who has studied the history of the French Revolution are well aware that it had been preceded by a long period of intense intellectual agitation, in which the foundations of the existing society were seriously questioned. Ideas and doctrines advocating the abolition of all religion, the overthrow of monarchical governments, the creation of utopian world citizenship, and the abolition of private property were to be found in books, tracts, and pamphlets, written and distributed by the hundreds of thousands, often at the risk of provoking the authorities. A network of Reading Societies were established with the intention to monopolize the writing, publication, reviewing, and distribution of all literature; more effectively to use the printed word to control and subvert the minds of the readers. But the main haven for the expression of these revolutionary ideas on the Continent were the Masonic lodges, which departing from the simpler practices of English Freemasonry and sworn to secrecy, had become forums where diverse opinions on morals, religion, and politics could be and were freely expressed.

FRENCH AND GERMAN FREEMASONRY UNITED TO LAUNCH FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Through inner ties and collaboration, French and German Freemasonry was brought together under one head; that head seemingly, was Frederick the Great, and given the name, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites. But Frederick the Great being head of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites Masonry was just for show, regardless of how powerful and wealthy he might have appeared. In reality, he was just a figurehead. The real power came from the unseen hands of the Jesuits, those mysterious “unknown superiors”, who fully utilized that source which was at their disposal; Rome’s most awesome, nearly two- thousand years accumulation of wealth, experience, power, and influence; by far, vastly more than any other organization on earth. Being united, Freemasonry under the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites surged forward to accomplish much for the Catholic cause. Expanding from the Continent, it was transported to Charleston, South Carolina, where it now rules the rites of the world.

True to Jesuit form, to prepare for the evolution of minds, so to carry public opinion in favor of a revolutionary movement, a massive propaganda campaign was launched. While in France philosophers and Encyclopedists Diderot, d’Alembert, Helvetius, Grimm, d’Holback, Voltaire, and Condorcet contributed to the efficiency of spreading revolutionary doctrines for the final cataclysm by effectively using the stage, publication of their Encyclopedia and joining forces with a host of other revolutionary publications circulated all over France — in Germany, close to eight hundred innocent looking reading or Literary Societies were busily being established in every residential center or diocese to incite and mold public thought.” The fermentation was astonishing, especially in France, where crowds everywhere stared at papers pasted on walls, breaking into little parties or companies whose conversations turned to politics alone,with every second word it seemed was Morality, Philanthropy, Toleration, Freedom, and Equalization of property.

The joint propaganda efforts of French and German Masonic leaders, urged on and guided by their Jesuit architects and superiors, resulted in the notorious French Revolution that was catapulted under the guise of a counterfeit Protestantism. It promised man supreme happiness through his enlightenment and liberation of superstition, but instead, ended in a godless reign of terror where heads fell and blood flowed, which is the norm for any Jesuit inspired project; that proudly hails the color red and guillotine as their symbols of revolution. In the form of a Mason Lodge, a Club met once a week and took the name “Propaganda”. It consisted of persons of all nations and was under the direction of the Grand Master of France, the Duke of Orleans. The members, charged with spreading the propaganda of the subversive principles of the Club, numbered fifty- thousand. In 1790, it had twenty thousand livres at its disposal, but by the end of 1791, these had increased to thirty millions. The gold and the printing presses of Frederick the Great were added to those of the Orleanists for the circulation of seditious literature throughout the provinces.” This was Propaganda Club number “one”.

As an interesting sidelight, there is a Masonic Propaganda group, number two, for us today. It is known as the “P-2 Club”, with its headquarters being in Rome. It was caught up in a world wide banking scandal that involved the disappearance of one point two billion dollars, resulting in several murders, one man being hung from the London Bridge. The main culprit of the affair was a Cardinal and Archbishop Marcinkus who took refuge and asylum at the Vatican to escape prosecution. The P-2 Club is a Propaganda society of the world’s elite which includes high ranking Roman Catholic prelates, and of course, Jesuits. The September 13, 1982 issue of Newsweek magazine, pages 62-69, featured a lengthy article of the scandal.

The propaganda program that was successful in Germany, and overwhelmingly successful in stirring the people of France into a fever pitched revolution, added one last ingredient as a finishing touch for the molding and supervising of enlightened minds. To be truly enlightened, from the elite’s point of view, is to be politically correct or illumined. What better way to ensure that ‘illumination’ than to found an organization specifically for that purpose — and what better name to identify that purpose — than the name, the “Illuminati”.

It is common knowledge to anyone who has researched the deceptions of Freemasonry, to recognize that there are three distinct strata within its system or hierarchy. The first being the so called Blue Masonry, or their first three degrees, which serves as an introduction to Masonry, where none of the real secrets are revealed to the members. The second is the Upper Degrees, in which most of the members, while imagining themselves to have been initiated into the whole secret of the Order and “bursting with importance” over their imaginary role of leaders, are taken through steps of degrees which even then, are only admitted to a partial knowledge of Masonry’s goal. The third are the “true masters”, an Inner Circle of those who conceal themselves behind high-grade Masonry. Admission to this inner circle is not always a matter of degrees. While in practicing visible Freemasonry the adepts are obliged to pass through all the degrees of the established hierarchy, however, inner and invisible Freemasonry recruit not only among the thirty-three degrees and especially in the upper degree groups, but frequently in special cases outside of these. This inner and invisible Freemasonry is international in extent, and it is within this Inner Circle that the Jesuits conceal themselves, work, and mastermind the projects that suits their goal. The atrocities of the French Revolution bore the true marks of Jesuit promptings.

The Jesuit Order was dissolved in 1773. That became quite convenient; for how could anyone blame the butchery of the French Revolution on the Jesuits if they were no more. However, even though all the Jesuits were supposedly deported out of the European Catholic countries, we are told in the 1908 Catholic Encyclopedia, volume 4, page 37, under the topic, Clement, that…

“Two non-Catholic sovereigns, Frederick of Prussia and Catherine of Russia, took the Jesuits under their protection. Whatever may have been their motives, whether it was to spite the pope and Bourbon Courts or to please their Catholic subjects and preserve for them the services of the best educators, their intervention kept the order alive until its complete restoration in 1804”.

In volume XII, page 525, topic Prussia, it is recorded that Frederick the Great stated…

“In my kingdom, each may go to Heaven after his own fashion”. He provided for the religious and educational needs even of the Catholics, and showed favor to the Jesuits”.

In actual truth, the “brief” or document that dissolved the Jesuit Order, provided where possible, for Jesuits who had taken their final and absolute vows, to remain in their former houses provided they dressed like secular priests and submitted to the authority of the local bishop. Also Pope Pius VI, who a little more than a year succeeded Pope Clement XIV, after Clement had dissolved the Jesuits and then died, arranged a peaceful agreement for the Jesuits with Frederick the Great.** These quiet undertakings supplied the perfect setting for the Jesuits to pursue their work unhampered and unseen.

ADAM WEISHAUPT’S BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI

It was in South Germany where this setting came fully into play. According to the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, volume VIII, page 8, the topic Ingolstadt, it says…”A movement was inaugurated in 1772 by Adam Weishaupt, professor of canon law, with a view to securing the triumph of the rationalistic “enlightenment” in Church and State by means of the secret society of “Illuminati”, which he founded”. Now logically, every movement needs a leader, however, good sense should tell anyone that regardless how great a genius a man might be, it would be next to impossible for one man to launch a movement such as the “enlightenment” during those days, especially in the stronghold of Catholic Southern Germany, unless — there was an august body in complete cooperation with, or actually instigating, the movement. It must be remembered that in 1772 Adam Weishaupt was a very young man of only twenty-four who had, as a fact, received his complete education from the Jesuits. So where did he get his liberal inclinations, if it wasn’t from his educators, the Jesuits?

One must never lose sight of the specific purpose for which the Jesuit Order was raised up — which was to counter and eradicate all that Protestantism had ever accomplished. The Jesuits, the world over, were renown for their zeal, especially their extraordinary success in stopping Protestantism dead in its tracks in Europe and restoring it back to Rome. But for forty- five years as the “enlightenment” movement started and progressed into the French Revolution, there is not hardly so much as a whimper in the Jesuit realm to condemn this blight that was allegedly again shaking up Rome. Even worse, the origin of the hard core element of the movement is found, of all places, in the two most model cities of Jesuitism — Ingolstadt and Munich. Now isn’t this just a might bit suspicious?

Adam Weishaupt was brilliant and well trained by the Jesuits in the conspiratorial methods of access to power. Adam’s father, also a professor at Ingolstadt University, had died when Adam was only seven. The Curator of Ingolstadt University, Baron Joseph Adam of Ickstatt, a liberal member of the Privy Council of the Elector who had begun to liberalize the University, was named Adam’s godfather who took him into his care after Adam’s father had died. In 1774, when the chair of Canon Law became vacant at the University, Baron Ickstatt appointed to the chair his twenty-six year old godson.* These undisputed facts reveal not only the Jesuit but also the ‘liberal’ Jesuit surroundings that young Adam Weishaupt was raised and thrust into. Soon he is to be appointed again; as leader of the Bavarian Illuminati movement.

The Order of the “Very Perfectibles” — better known as Illuminati — was founded on ‘Mayday’ of 1776 by Adam Weishaupt and five original members. His strictly hierarchical organization was the very pattern of the Society of Jesus, who regarded as essential in order to realize his plans, the “despotism of superiors” and the “blind, unconditional obedience of subordinates”, which included the utmost secrecy and mysteriousness. It also peddled Freemasonry’s alluring utopian golden age dream concerning the dilapidation of old things and the need of new. This was being vigorously agitated by the writings of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot and their fellows, who questioned, criticized, and undermined the social, political, and ecclesiastical fabric built by past centuries. Men were taught that unhampered by old decrepitude, by antique customs, superstitions and beliefs, would show themselves innocent, virtuous and capable, and build up a new society in which all men should be happy. This romantic enthusiasm for a regenerated world, in which nature should supplant fashion, justice prevail, and men free and equal, would walk erect in simple dignity, was the deceptive rallying call of Adam Weishaupt’s illumination.

In this society of the future everything, according to Weishaupt, was to be regulated by reason. By “enlightenment” men were to be liberated from their silly prejudices, to become “mature” or “moral” and thus to outgrow the religious and political tutelage of Church and State, of “priest and prince”. Morals was the science which makes man “mature”, and renders him conscious of his dignity, his destiny, and his power. The principal means for effecting the “redemption” of the world was found in unification, and this was to be brought about by “secret schools of wisdom”. These “schools”, he declares, “were always the archives of nature and of the rights of man. Through their agency, man will recover from his fall; princes and nations, without violence to force them, will vanish from the earth; the human race will become one family, and the world the habitation of rational beings. Moral science alone will effect these reforms ‘imperceptibly’; every father will become, like Abraham and the patriarchs, the priest and absolute lord of his household, and reason will be man’s only code of law”.

It was taught that this redemption of mankind by the restoration of the original “freedom and equality” through “illumination” and universal charity, fraternity, and tolerance, is likewise the true esoteric doctrine of Christ and his Apostles. Those in whom the “illuminating” grace of Christ is operative are the “Illuminati”. The object of pure, that is illuminated, Freemasonry is none other than the propagation of the “enlightenment” whereby the seed of a new world will be so widely scattered that no efforts at extirpation, however violent, will avail to prevent the harvest. Weishaupt declared that Masonry was the school from which “these ideas” emanated.

The ultimate object of the Illuminati Order was kept secret. Only by degrees could the initiated learn of the true mysteries and purposes of the Order. The lower ‘Nursery’ degrees which included: Preparation, Novice, Minerval, and Illuminatus Minor were to serve for the selection, preparation, and concealment of the true “Illuminati”. The higher ‘Mysteries’ degrees that included: Presbyter, Priest, Prince, Regent, Magus, and Rex (the last degree being Weishaupt himself) were to open the way for the social organization of the future, in which all distinction of nations, creeds, etc., would disappear. Each step of the way of the initiate was very carefully plotted and planned by Weishaupt and his colleagues, so that the squeamish and gullible never rose higher than the lowest degrees, while the bold, ruthless, and cynical — those ready and willing to dispense with religion, morality, patriotism, and any other hindrances, rose to the top. The Illuminati also offered an even more attractive inducement than its long-range goal. It offered immediate and assured success. For through its connections and intrigues, the conspiracy was able to place its selected members in positions of influence and power where they could enjoy all the glories of worldly success, provided they used that success to work unceasingly for the advancement of the Order.

Members were acquainted only with their immediate superiors, and only a selected few knew that Weishaupt was the founder and supreme head of the Order. Members were obliged to gather information on every person with whom they had dealings, and on all matters which could possibly affect either themselves or the Order they were to hand in sealed reports. These were opened by superiors unknown to the writers, and were in substance, referred to the General. All illumunistic and official organs, the press, schools, seminaries, cathedral chapters, hence all appointments to sees, pulpits, and chairs were to be brought as far as possible under the influence of the organization. Princes themselves were to be surrounded by a legion of enlightened men, in order not only to disarm their opposition, but also to compel their energetic cooperation. A complete transformation would thus be effected. Public opinion would be controlled; “priest and princes” would find their hands tied; those who ventured to interfere would have to retreat from their reckless impulse; the Order would become an object of dread to all enemies. The architects drew up their blueprints; the French Revolution massacres revealed the results.

THE JESUITS — ADAM WEISHAUPT’S MENTORS AND MOLDERS

A great collusion was at work here. Not springing forth from young Adam Weishaupt’s innovations, but instead, that powerful and influential cabal, who from a child up were his instructors. It is they who plant the ‘new world’ utopian seed into his brain, where they cultivate it, and as he grows, to nourish, prune, and train meticulously — then wait to reap the sweet fruits of their labor. These are Jesuit connivings, where the New Order only means one thing — ‘Catholic’ in scope; and with this “end” in view, will surely sanctify whatever “means”. Weishaupt’s mentors and molders were not long in producing results. As a base of operations and a front for their illuminated Freemasonry, in 1775, the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel, a lodge of Strict Observance, was erected at Munich by a Professor Baader of the University of Ingolstadt. It received its constitutional patent from the Royal York at Berlin. Two years later in 1777 and one year after Weishaupt had founded the Illuminati Order, he then became initiated into the Lodge Theodore. Within two years after that he was in control of the lodge.

Are we to believe that just one genius of a man working nearly single-handedly, or a dozen for that matter, could within a couple of years take control of a lodge — unless it was pre- planned that way? In 1780, to further expand his Illuminati membership, Freiherr von Knigge, a Masonic agent of wide experience and well known in all Masonic circles, joined forces with Adam Weishaupt. For the next two years, the marvelous accomplishments attained nearly go beyond words. To better give support, a quotation from the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, volume VII, page 661, topic Illuminati, states that Knigge, in company with Weishaupt…

“worked vigorously to extend the Order for which within two years he secured 500 members. When the great international convention of Freemasons was held at Wilhelmsbad (16 July to 29 August, 1782) the “Illuminated Freemasonry”, which Knigge and Weishaupt now proclaimed to be the only “pure” Freemasonry, had already gained such a reputation that almost all the members of the convention clamored for admission into the new institution. Particularly valuable for the Order was the accession of Bode, who commanded the highest respect in all Masonic circles. Assisted by Bode, Knigge labored diligently to convert the whole Masonic body into “Illuminati Freemasons”. A number of the most prominent representatives of Freemasonry and “enlightenment” became Illuminati, including in 1783, Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, the foremost leader of European Freemasonry and the princely representative of the illuminism of his age. Other famous members were Goethe, Herder, and Nicolai. The Order was also propagated in Sweden, Russia, Poland, Denmark, Hungary, Austria, and France. But in 1783 dissensions arose between Knigge and Weishaupt, which resulted in the final withdrawal of the former on 1 July, 1784. Knigge could no longer endure Weishaupt’s pedantic domineering, which frequently assumed offensive forms. He accused Weishaupt of “Jesuitism”, and suspected him of being “a Jesuit in disguise”.

One of the most fascinating phenomenon when studying the histories of the American and French Revolutions is the consistent silence and omission of the role that Freemasonry had to play in them. Most all general histories never even mention it, and if at all, it is only alluded to. It is unbelievable when you consider that there were hundreds of thousands of members belonging to Freemasonry during those times: some, very prominent men of history, distinguished in their careers and professions of every kind. But go to any encyclopedia or history book and see if it mentions these men as being Masons. Rest assured, if Freemasonry hides the truth of its goals from its own members, do you think it would do any less toward the general public? This knowledge is censored and covered up. The darkest secrecy is its breeding ground. So if the reader is skeptical of the implications here presented, it must be acknowledged that even the Roman Catholic Church, and in its own encyclopedia, must admit that the Illuminati Order existed, and somehow arose from one of its own Jesuit professors — whose goal was nothing less than to secure the ‘triumph’ of the “enlightenment” in Church and State. Rome is compelled to admit to this as being a fact, if for nothing else than to officially disagree with the Movement. However, official and unofficial are two quite different animals.

Another argument which is persistently used is that although the Illuminati Order became such a menace to the Bavarian government and Europe in its overwhelming subversive activities, causing it to be, ‘officially’, suppressed and so therefore no longer active, is contradicted in the Catholic Encyclopedia under the same topic of Illuminati where it states…

“As the activity of the Illuminati still continued, four successive enactments were issued against them (22 June,1784; 2 March, and 16 August, 1785; and 16 August, 1787), in the last of which recruiting for the Order was forbidden under penalty of death. These measures put an end to the corporate existence of the Order in Bavaria, and as a result of the publication, in 1786, of its degrees and other documents concerning it — for the most part of a rather compromising nature — its further extension outside Bavaria became impossible. The spread of the spirit of the Illuminati, which coincided substantially with the general teachings of the “enlightenment”, especially that of France, was rather accelerated than retarded by the persecution in Bavaria”.

Now isn’t that a rather interesting admission — first “its further extension outside Bavaria became impossible”, but after its suppression, “the spread of the ‘spirit’ of the Illuminati” which especially coincided with the enlightenment of France was “rather accelerated than retarded”. That seems similar to when the Jesuit Order was dissolved — supposedly, the Jesuit ceased to be. But being “officially” suppressed, yet allowing all members to be free to function, becomes more of a benefit than a hindrance. They only burrow deeper underground and using keen precaution to conceal themselves, work their mischief quietly without the hazard of blame being placed on them.

ADAM WEISHAUPT COMES HOME

In 1835, the Carbonaro, Malegari, wrote to another member of the Carbonari; a secret society that accompanied the French Revolution and was active in supporting the political principles that were proclaimed during that time, said: “We form an association of brothers in all points of the globe, we have desires and interests in common, we aim at the emancipation of humanity, we wish to break every kind of yoke, yet there is one that is unseen, that can hardly be felt, yet that weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows, or at least no one tells. The association is secret, even for us, the veterans of secret societies.”

Records show that Adam Weishaupt fled Ingolstad in February 1785, going north to Regensburg. Later in 1787 and going farther north, he settled in Gotha. The Catholic Encyclopedia, again under the topic Illuminati, page 662, states: “After 1787 he renounced all active connection with secret societies, and again drew near to the Church, displaying remarkable zeal in building of the Catholic church at Gotha. He died on 18 November, 1839, “reconciled with the Catholic Church, which as a young professor, he had doomed to death and destruction” — as the chronicle of the Catholic parish in Gotha relates”. How emotional. After serving well in his duties to become the leader of one of the most sinister movements in history, the erring child then returns home to be welcomed with open arms; just another typical example of Roman Catholic double-face.

THE ILLUMINATI “SPIRIT” EPIDEMIC CONTAMINATES FRANCE

The “spirit” of the Illuminati settled over the nation of France like a heavy fog tainted with poison, and the whole country heaved from its effects. The first symptoms, which later erupted into the great French Revolution of 1789, were felt from the ground work that had been wonderfully prepared by the “Philosophies”; those French school of thinkers, writers, scientists and men of letters, who gradually altered the traditional thoughts of the people. From these, the altered expressions of thought spread and found safety and refuge in the secrecy of Freemasonic lodges, where they virtually littered the French communities and cities. It is from here that the germ of revolution spread like a disease. But understand, it was ‘illuminized’ Freemasonry that produced the French upheaval, that actually made the Revolution, that created anarchy and sent the people into the streets in a frenzy and savage delirium. It was those principles introduced into the lodges of France in 1787 by the disciples of Weishaupt — “patriarch of the Jacobins” that culminated into such butchery; that became known to history as the Reign of Terror. But these ferocious merciless indiscriminate massacres and mutilations always seem to accompany Jesuit promptings; whether it is the St. Bartholomew or Irish Massacres, the ‘Thirty Years’ War or the French Revolution; and is akin to being Satanic. But who could ever blame the Jesuits for the French Revolution; they were banished.

GREAT FREEMASONIC CONVENTION PRODUCES AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The American and French Revolutions were tied intimately together by the same conspiracy of Rome, well concealed behind the covers of the Illuminati Order and Freemasonry. This is not to say, that all those caught up in the Movement understood exactly where it was coming from or where it was headed. Yet names prominent in one Revolution were also involved in the other. For example, La Fayette who was introduced into Freemasonry at a very young age, married at eighteen a girl- child of only fourteen years, and after making her pregnant, felt such an obsession for fame and glory, spurred on by his intense hatred for anything English, left France secretly one year after his marriage, not even telling his young wife, to fight under George Washington in his cause for the American colonies independence. In his haste to leave France unnoticed with several of his adventurous friends, he could not find a ship departing. So as a young aristocrat with financial means, he just up and bought a ship of his own to serve his purpose. He sailed and landed, going straight to Charleston, South Carolina. After receiving his Masonic instructions, he traveled north to join George Washington.

There were over twenty-seven thousand Frenchmen who fought in the American war for independence; that were involved in the deciding battle of Yorktown. Fifteen miles from where the author was born and raised, the French General Rochambeau and a soldier named Alexandre Berthier, later to become general under Napoleon Bonaparte, who invaded Rome and took Pope Pius VI prisoner, camped in the area known as White Marsh, Maryland. These men later, were both active in the French Revolution. After La Fayette returned to France to become one of the leading members of the French Revolution, there were numerous letters exchanged between him and George Washington. And in like manner, American statesmen Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were active members of the French Masonic Lodge of the Nine Sisters.

The vigorous Freemasonry activity exercised during the revolt of England’s North American colonies had a much greater significance attached to it than what is seen on the surface. Separating the colonies from England became more a subtle victory for Rome over England, rather than the colonies victory over England for their independence. Practicing Catholicism publicly in the colonies under England’s rule was stringently forbidden. Now with America declared as a Republic, offering religious freedom to all, Catholicism became free to practice its own religion uninhibited. And regardless of all the hype and glorious propaganda that each of us have been taught about the American Revolution, freeing Romanism in the North American colonies was the concealed and true motive. The product of the first Great Freemasonic Convention held in 1768 was the American Revolution. But the ‘Grand Design’ of Rome had far greater plans for America; a much more grandiose future than just being liberated from England; plans made even before its birth. And should anyone care to catch a glimpse of the strange work Rome has planned for America, what her strategy and tactics will be, actually, what’s in store for all humanity when Rome makes her final thrust for world dominion — then make a study of the French Revolution.
