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.
