Secret Societies/ New
World Order - part 1 of 3 History is replete with whispers of secret
societies. Accounts of elders or priests who guarded the forbidden knowledge of
ancient peoples. Prominent men, meeting in secret, who directed the course of
civilization are recorded in the writings of all people.
The oldest is the Brotherhood of the Snake,
also called the Brotherhood of the Dragon, and it still exists under many
different names. It is clear that religion has always played a significant role
in the course of these organizations. Communication with a higher source, often
divine, is a familiar claim in all but a few.
The secrets of these groups are thought to be
so profound that only a chosen, well-educated few are able to understand and use
them. These men use their special knowledge for the benefit of all mankind. At
least that is what they claim. How are we to know, since their knowledge and
actions have been secret? Fortunately, some of it has become public knowledge.
I found it intriguing that in most, if not
all, primitive tribal societies all of the adults are members. They are usually
separated into male and female groups. The male usually dominates the culture.
Surprisingly, this exactly resembles many civilized secret societies. This can
only mean that the society is working not against established authority, but for
it. In fact, could be said to actually be the established authority. This would
tend to remove the validity of any argument that all secret associations are
dedicated to the "destruction of properly constituted authority." This
can only apply, of course, where the secret society makes up the majority or
entirety of any people which it affects. Only a very few fall into this
category.
Secret societies in fact mirror many facets
of ordinary life. There is always an exclusivity of membership, with the
resultant importance attached to being or becoming a member. This is found in
all human endeavors, even those which are not secret, such as football teams or
country clubs. This exclusivity of membership is actually one of the secret
societies' most powerful weapons. There is the use of signs, passwords and other
tools. These have always performed valuable functions in man's organizations
everywhere. The stated reason, almost always different from the real reason, for
the societies' existence is important.
The comradeship is especially important.
Sharing hardships or secrets has always been a special thrill to man. No one who
undergone the rigors of boot camp is ever likely to forget the special feeling
of belonging and comradeship that was shared between the victims of the drill
sergeant or company commander. It is an emotion born of initiation. The most
potent tool of any secret society is the ritual and myth surrounding initiation.
These special binding ceremonies have very deep meaning for the participants.
Initiation performs several functions which
make up the heart and soul of any true secret society. Like boot camp, the
initiation into the armed forces, important aspects of human thought that are
universally compelling, are merged to train and maintain the efforts of a group
of people to operate in a certain direction. Initiation bonds the members
together in mysticism.
Neophytes gain knowledge of a secret, giving
them special status. The ancient meaning of neophyte is "planted anew or
reborn." A higher initiation is in reality a promotion inspiring loyalty
and the desire to move up to the next rung. The goals of the society are
reinforced, causing the initiated to act toward those goals in everyday life.
That brings about a change in the political and social action of the member. The
change is always in the best interest of the goals of the leaders of the secret
society. The leaders are called adepts. This can best be illustrated by the
soldier trained to follow orders without thinking. The result is often the
wounding or death of the soldier for the realization of the commander's goal
which may or may not be good for the overall community.
Initiation is a means of rewarding ambitious
men who can be trusted. You will notice that the higher the degree of initiation
the fewer the members who possess the degree. This is not because the other
members are not ambitious but because a process of very careful selection is
being conducted. A point is reached where no effort is good enough without a
pull up by the higher members. Most members never proceed beyond this point and
never learn the real, secret purpose of the group. The frozen member from that
point on serves only as a part of the political power base as indeed he has
always done. You may have guessed by now that initiation is a way to determine
who can and cannot be trusted.
A method of deciding exactly who is to become
an adept decided during initiation by asking the candidate to spit upon the
christian cross. If the candidate refuses, the members congratulate him and tell
him, "You have made the right choice, as a true adept would never do such a
terrible thing." The newly initiated might find it disconcerting, that
he/she never advances any higher. If instead, the candidate spits upon the
cross, he/she has demonstrated a knowledge of one of the mysteries and soon will
find him/herself a candidate for the next higher level. The mystery is that
religion is but a tool to control the masses. Knowledge (or wisdom) is their
only god, through which man himself will become god. The snake and the dragon
are both symbols of wisdom. Lucifer is a personification of the symbol. It was
Lucifer who tempted Eve to entice Adam to eat of the tree of knowledge and thus
free man from the bonds of ignorance. The WORSHIP (a lot different from STUDY)
of knowledge, science, or technology is Satanism in its purest form, its secret
symbol is the all-seeing eye in the pyramid.
Undesirable effects of secret societies and
their aura of mystery has sometimes given them the reputation for being abnormal
associations or, at the very least, strange groups of people. Whenever their
beliefs are those of the majority they are no longer considered antisocial. A
good example is the Christian church, which was at one time a secret society
under the Roman Empire. In fact, the "Open Friendly Secret Society"
(the Vatican) actually ruled most, if not all, of the known world at one time.
Most secret societies are generally
considered to be antisocial; they are believed to contain elements that are not
liked or are outright harmful to the community in general. This is exactly the
case in some instances. Communism and fascism are secret societies in many
countries where they are prohibited by law. In this country the Nazi party and
the Ku Klux Klan are secret societies due mostly to the fact that the general
public is disgusted by them. Their activities are sometimes illegal, thus the
secrecy of their membership. The early Christians were a secret society because
Roman authorities considered them from the start to be dangerous to imperial
rule. The same was true of the followers of Islam. The Druseed and Yezidis in
Syria and Iraq consider the Arabs a dangerous secret society dedicated to the
takeover of the world. The Arabs today think the same of the Jews. Catholics and
Freemasons used to have precisely the same ideas about each other.
In many primitive or backward societies
initiation into the highest degrees of the group involved subjection to trials
which not infrequently resulted in death or insanity for the candidate. It can
be seen that social right and wrong is not the yardstick in estimating the value
of a secret society. In Borneo, initiates of hunting societies, consider it
meritorious and compulsory to hunt heads. In Polynesia, infanticide and debauch
were considered essential for initiation into their societies, where the tribal
code needed members who indulged in these things, as pillars of society.
Since the beginning of recorded history,
governmental bodies of every on have been involved with maintaining the status
quo to defend the establishment against minority groups that sought to function
as states within states or to oust the constituted authority and take over in
its place.
Many of these attempts have succeeded but
have not always lasted. Man's desire to be one of the elect is something that no
power on earth has been able to lessen, let alone destroy. It is one of the
"secrets" of secret societies. It is what gives them a political base
and lots of clout. Members often vote the same and give each other preference in
daily business, legal, and social activities. It is the deepest desire of many
to be able to say, "I belong to the elect."
Houses of worship and sacrifice existed in
the ancient cities. They were in fact temples built in honor of the many gods.
These buildings functioned often as meeting places for philosophers and mystics
who were believed to possess the secrets of nature. These men usually banded
together in seclusive philosophic and religious schools.
The most important of all of these ancient
groups is the Brotherhood of the Snake, or Dragon, and was simply known as the
Mysteries. The snake and dragon are symbols that represent wisdom. The father of
wisdom is Lucifer, also called the Light Bearer. The focus of worship for the
Mysteries was Osiris, the name of a bright star that the ancients believed had
been cast down onto the earth. The literal meaning of Lucifer is "bringer
of light" or "the morning star." After Osiris was gone from the
sky, the ancients saw the Sun as the representation of Osiris ("...it is
claimed that, after Lucifer fell from Heaven, he brought with him the power of
thinking as a gift for mankind." Fred Gittings, Symbolism in Occult Art)
Most of the greatest minds that ever lived
were initiated into the society of Mysteries by secret and dangerous rites, some
of which were very cruel. Some of the most famous were known as Osiris, Isis,
Sabazius, Cybele and Eleusis. Plato was one of these initiates and he describes
someof the mysteries in his writings.
Plato's initiation encompassed three days of
entombment in the Great Pyramid, during which time he died (symbolically), was
reborn, and was given secrets that he was to preserve. Plato's writings are full
of information on the Mysteries. Manly P. Hall stated in his book, The Secret
Teachings of All Ages that, "...the illumined of antiquity...entered its
(pyramid of Giza) portals as men; they came forth as gods." The ancient
Egyptian word for pyramid was khuti, which meant "glorious light." Mr.
Hall says also, "The pyramids, the great Egyptian temples of
initiation..."
According to many, the great pyramids were
built to commemorate and observe a supernova explosion that occurred in the year
4000 B.C. Dr. Anthony Hewish, 1974 Nobel Prize winner in physics, discovered a
rhythmic series of radio pulses which he proved were emissions from a star that
had exploded around 4000 B.C. The Freemasons begin their calendar from A.L.,
"In the Year of Light," found by adding 4000 to the modern year. Thus
1990 + 4000 = 5990 A.L. George Michanowsky wrote in The Once and Future Star
that "The ancient Sumerian cuneiform...described a giant star exploding
within a triangle formed by...Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and Lambda
Velorum...located in the southern sky....[An] accurate star catalogue now stated
that the blazing star that had exploded within the triangle would again be seen
by man in 6000 years." According to the Freemason's calendar it will occur
in the year 2000, and indeed it will.
The spacecraft called Galileo is on its way
to Jupiter, a baby star with a gaseous makeup exactly the same as our sun, with
a load of 49.7 pounds of plutonium, supposedly being used as batteries to power
the craft. When its final orbit decays in December 1999, Galileo will deliver
its payload into the center of Jupiter. The unbelievable pressure that will be
encountered will cause a reaction exactly as occurs when an atomic bomb is
exploded by an implosion detonator. The plutonium will explode in an atomic
reaction, lighting the hydrogen and helium atmosphere of Jupiter and resulting
in the birth of the star that has already been named Lucifer. The world will
interpret it as a sign of tremendous religious significance. It will fulfill
prophecy. In reality it is only a demonstration of the insane application of
technology by the JASON Society which may or may not even work. They have
practiced overkill to ensure success, however, as the documents that I read
while in Naval Intelligence stated that Project GALILEO required only five
pounds of plutonium to ignite Jupiter and possibly stave off the coming ice age.
Global warming is a hoax. It is easier for the public to deal with and will give
the ruling elite more time before panic and anarchy replace government. The
reality is that overall global temperatures are becoming lower. Storms are
becoming more violent and less predictable.
The icecaps at the poles are growing larger.
The temperate zones where food can be grown are shrinking. Desertification is
increasing in the tropics. An ice age is on its way, and it will occur suddenly.
Simultaneously a vault containing the ancient
records of the earth will opened in Egypt. The opening of the vault will usher
in the millennium. A great celebration has already been planned by the
Millennium Society to take place at the pyramids in Egypt. According to the
January 3, 1989, edition of the Arizona Daily Star, "President-elect Bush
is spending this New Year's holiday at Camp David, Maryland, but in 10 years he
may be in Egypt. Organizers of the Millennium Society say he's already committed
to ushering in the next century at the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza.
The first secret that one must know to even
begin to understand the Mysteries is that their members believe that there are
but few truly mature minds in the world. They believe that those minds belong
exdusively to them. The philosophy that follows is the classic secret-society
view of humanity:
"When a person of strong intellect is
confronted with a problem which calls for the use of reasoning faculties, they
keep their poise and attempt to read a solution by garnering facts bearing upon
the question. On the other hand, those who are immature, when confronted by the
small problem, are overwhelmed. While the former may be said to be qualified to
solve the mystery of their own destiny, the latter must be led like a bunch of
animals and taught in the simplest language. Like sheep they are totally
dependent upon the shepherd. The able intellect is taught the Mysteries and the
esoteric spiritual truths. The masses are taught the literal, exoteric
interpretations. While the masses worship the five senses, the select few
observe, recognizing in the gulf between them the symbolic concretions of great
abstract truths.
"The initiated elect communicate
directly to Gods (ALIENS?) who communicate back to them. The masses sacrifice
their lambs on an altar facing a stone idol that can neither hear or speak. The
elect are given knowledge of the Mysteries and are illumined and are thus known
as The Illluminati or the Illuminated Ones, the guardians of the 'Secrets of the
Ages."'
Three early secret societies that can be
directly connected to a modern descendant are the cults of Roshaniya, Mithras
and their counterpart, the Builders. They have many things in common with the
Freemasons of today as well as with many other branches of the Illuminati. For
instance, common to the Brotherhood are the symbolic rebirth into a new life
without going through the portal of death during initiation; reference to the
"Lion" and "the Grip of the Lion's Paw" in the Master
Mason's degree; the three degrees, which is the same as the ancient Masonic
rites before the many other degrees were added; the ladder of seven rungs; men
only; and the "all-seeing eye."
Of special interest is the powerful society
in Afghanistan in ancient times called the Roshaniya--illuminated ones. There
are actually references to this mystical cult going back through history to the
House of Wisdom at Cairo. The major tenets of this cult were: the abolition of
private property; the elimination of religion; the elimination of nation states;
the belief that illumination emanated from the Supreme Being who desired a class
of perfect men and women to carry out the organization and direction of the
world; belief in a plan to reshape the social system of the world by first
taking control of individual countries one by one, and the belief that after
reaching the fourth degree one could communicate directly with the unknown
supervisors who had imparted knowledge to initiates throughout the ages. Wise
men will again recognize the Brotherhood.
The important fact to remember is that the
leaders of both the right and the left are a small, hard core of men who have
been and still are Illuminists or members of the Brotherhood. They may have been
or may be members of the Christian or Jewish religions, but that is only to
further their own ends. They give allegiance to no particular nation, although
they have used nationalism to further their causes. Their only concern is to
gain greater economic and political power. The ultimate objective of the leaders
of both groups is identical. They are determined to win for themselves
undisputed control of the wealth, natural resources, and manpower of the entire
planet. They intend to turn the world into their conception of a totalitarian
socialist state. In the process they will eliminate all Christians, Jews, and
atheists. You have just learned one, but only one, of the great mysteries.
The Roshaniya also called themselves the
Order. Initiates took an oath that absolved them of all allegiance except to the
Order and stated, "I bind myself to perpetual silence and unshaken loyalty
and submission to the Order....All humanity which cannot identify itself by our
secret sign is our lawful prey." The oath remains essentially the same to
this day. The secret sign was to pass a hand over the forehead, palm inward; the
countersign, to hold the ear with the fingers and support the elbow in the
cupped other hand. Does that sound familiar? The Order is the Order of the
Quest. The cult preached that there was a spirit state completely different from
life as we know it. The spirit could continue to be powerful on earth through a
member of the Order, but only if the spirit had been itself a member of the
Order before its death. Thus members of the Order gained power from the spirits
of the dead members.
The Roshaniya took in travelers as initiates
and then sent them on their way to found new chapters of the Order. It is
believed by some that the Assassins were a branch of the Roshaniya. Branches of
the Roshaniya or "the illuminated ones" or the Illuminati existed and
still exist everywhere. One of the rules was not to use the same name and never
mention "the Illuminati." That rule is still in effect today. I
believe that it is the breaking of this rule that resulted in Adam Weishaupt's
downfall.
One of the greatest secrets of the ages is
the true story of the Holy Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of
Crucifixion, and whether Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a
child. Many myths surround the Knights Templar concerning these relics, and most
myths throughout history always have at least some basis in fact. If my sources
are correct, the Knights Templar survive today as a branch of the Illuminati and
guard the relics, which are hidden in a location known only to them.
We know that the Templars are Illuminati
because the Freemasons absorbed and protected those that escaped persecution of
the church and France, just as the Freemasons would absorb and protect
Weishaupt's Illuminati centuries later. The Knights Templar exist today as a
high degree of Freemasonry within the Templar Order. In fact, the Knights
Templar is a branch of the Order of the Quest. The DeMolay Society is branch of
the Freemasons that consecrates the memory of the persecution of the Knights
Templar and in particular, their leader Jacques deMolay. I know, because I was a
member of the DeMolay Society as a young adult. I loved the mystery and ritual.
I became separated from the Society when my family moved to a location out of
reach of any lodge. I believe to this day that my association with the DeMolay
Society may have been the reason for my selection for Naval Security and
Intelligence.
According to members of the intelligence
community, when the New World Order is solidified the relics will be taken out,
will be united with the Spear of Destiny, and will, according to legend, give
the world's ruler absolute power. This may confirm beliefs passed down through
the ages that describe the significance of these relics when united in the hands
one man. It explains Hitler's desperate search World War II. (Gen. Patton had
claimed it after defeat)
The Knights Templar were founded sometime
during the 11th century in Jerusalem by the Prieure de Sion for the express
purpose of guarding remaining relics of Jesus and to provide military protection
for the religious travelers during their pilgrimage to the Holy City.
The Prieure de Sion was a religious order
founded upon Mount Sion in Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of
preserving and recording the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through
every means available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved the
remaining relics. These relics were entrusted to the Knights Templar for
safekeeping. I am amazed at the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the
information that they have unearthed. Most of all I am amazed at their inability
to put the puzzle together. The treasure hidden in France is not the treasure of
the Temple of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Grail itself, the robe of Jesus, the
last remaining pieces of the Cross of Crucifixion, and, according to my sources,
someone's bones. I can tell you that the reality of the bones will shake the
world to its very foundations if I have been told the truth. The relics are
hidden in France. I know the location and so do the authors of Holy Blood, Holy
Grail, but they do not know that they know-- or do they?
Adam Weishaupt, a young professor of canon
law at Ingolstadt University in Germany, was a Jesuit priest and an initiate of
the Illuminati. The branch of the Order he founded in Germany in 1776 was the
same Illuminati previously discussed. The Jesuit connection is important, as you
will see later in this chapter. Researchers agree that he was financed by the
House of Rothschild (mentioned in "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars").
Weishaupt advocated "abolition of all ordered national governments,
abolition of inheritance, abolition of private property, abolition of
patriotism, abolition of the individual home and family life as the cell from
which all civilizations have stemmed, and abolition of all religions established
and existing so that the ideology of totalitarianism may be imposed on
mankind."
In the same year that he founded the
Illuminati he published Wealth of Nations, the book that provided the
ideological foundation for capitalism and for the Industrial Revolution. It is
no accident that the Declaration of Independence was written in the same year.
On the obverse of the Great Seal of the United States the wise will recognize
the all-seeing eye and other signs of the Brotherhood of the Snake.
Every tenet was the same. Date and beliefs
confirm that Weishaupt's Illuminati is the same as the Afghan Illuminated Ones
and the other cults which called themselves "illuminated." The
Alumbrados of Spain were the same as were the "illuminated" Guerinets
of France. In the United States they were known as the Jacobin clubs. Secrets
within secrets within secrets--but always at the heart is the Brotherhood.
I believe that Weishaupt was betrayed and set
up for persecution because he ignored the rule that the word
"illuminati" or the existence of the Brotherhood would never be
exposed to public knowledge. His exposure and outlawing accomplished several
goals of the still-hidden and still very powerful brotherhood. It allowed
members to debunk claims of its existence on the grounds that the Illuminati had
been exposed and outlawed and thus was no longer a reality. It allowed members
to deny allegations of conspiracy of any kind. The Brotherhood of the Snake is
adept at throwing out decoys to keep the dogs at bay. Weishaupt may have been a
fool--or he may have been doing exactly what he was told.
