The Occult Society

    "In 1870 (and not in 1884, as the Theosophists claimed), an adept of calm, of the ever-existing ancient Order of the H. B. of L., after having received the consent of his fellow-initiates, decided to choose in Great Britain a neophyte who would answer his designs. He landed in Great Britain in 1873. There he discovered a neophyte who satisfied his requirements and he gradually instructed him. Later, the actual neophyte received permission to establish the Exterior Circle of the H. B. of L."

The adept in the above paragraph (from the introduction by Pascal Themanlys to the book Visions of the Eternal Present) is Max Theon, at the time a mere 22 years of age. I assume the disciple referred to is Peter Davidson (1842-1916), a Scottish philosopher. In London Theon was the Grand Master of the H. B. of L. - Exterior Circle of the Holy Brotherhood of Luxor, and Davidson, its visible head. One of Davidson's other teachers was the Rosicrucian external link Hargrave Jennings (c. 1817 - 1890). were joined in 1883 by Thomas H. Burgoyne (AKA Thomas Dalton, 1855-1895).

The function of this "Outer Circle" of the H. B. of L. was to offer a correspondence course on practical occultism; which set it apart from the Theosophical Society. Its curriculum included a number of selections from the writings of Hargrave Jennings and Paschal Beverly Randolph.

Theon and Davidson were heirs to an already established tradition, influences of which go back at least to Rosicrucian-Freemasonic ideas and movements of the eighteenth century. There are in fact a number of different, if related and overlapping, references here. As T Allen Greenfield points out, there seems to be

    "a parallel tradition running through the eighteenth century Fratres Lucis and Asiatic Brethren on the one hand, and Cagliostro's Egyptian Rite (androgynous) Freemasonry on the other. These fuse with primordial Egyptian traditions during the Napoleonic conquests in Egypt, passed on to Metamon, Theon, Levi, Randolph, Davidson and other nineteenth century luminaries, down to Papus, Reuss, Kellner and, eventually, Aleister Crowley and his successors and heirs within OTO."

Thus Theon and Davidson and the H. B. of L. had an influence not only on Theosophy but also, directly and indirectly, with the OTO and hence Steiner (who was a member before the OTO became mostly thelemite), Crowley and most of modern occultism.

    "The interior Circle of the H. B. of L. was formed within a distinct Hermetic Order in consequence of a division that took place in the ranks of the Hermetic Initiates. This division was the outcome of the natural difference between the initiates belonging to the Sacerdotal Caste and those who were seriously tested and graduated in the schools of occultism."

In the last decades of the 19th century, the Order of the The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor had considerable influence in all the milieu of Western occultism. It was the only order of its time that taught practical occultism in the Western Mystery Tradition. This very secretive order, which counted among its members many of the well-known figures of late 19th-century occultism, spiritualism, and Theosophy. The researcher, G. Marvin Williams, wrote that Madam Blavalsky's claim of being involved with the H.B. of L. was just a creation of imagination designed to gain publicity. But, despite Marvin's scepticism, Madam Blavatsky was indeed a member of the Order.

In later years, Peter Davidson emigrated to the United States and there published several books. While in 1889 some the H.B. of L. material in the form of lessons by Burgoyne was published as The Light of Egypt, minus only the practical teachings


The Charter

The charter of the Ancient and Noble Order of H. B. of L. which was signed: "M. Theon, Grand Master pro temp of the Exterior Circle," contains high principles and important data:

"We recognize the eternal existence of the Great Cause of Light, the invisible center whose vibrating soul, gloriously radiant, is the living breath, the vital principle of all that exists and will ever exist. It is from this divine summit that goes forth the invisible Power which binds the vast universe in an harmonious whole."

"We teach that from this incomprehensible center of Divinity emanate sparks of the eternal Spirit,which,after accomplishing their orbit, the great cycle of Necessity, constitute the sole immortal element of the human soul. Accepting thus the universal brotherhood of humanity, we reject, nevertheless,the doctrine of universal quality."

"We have no personal preferences and no one makes progress in "the Order without having accomplished his assigned task thereby indicating aptitude for more advanced initiation."

"Remember, we teach freely, without reservation, anyone worthy of instruction."

"The Order devotes its energies and resources to discover and apply the hidden laws and active forces in all fields of nature, and to subjugate them to the higher will of the human soul, whose power and attributes our Order strives to develop, in order to build up the immortal individuality so that the complete spirit can say I AM."

"The members engage themselves, to the best of their ability, in a life of moral purity and brotherly love, abstaining from the use of intoxicants except for medicinal purposes, working for the progress of all social reforms beneficial for humanity."

"Finally, the members have full freedom of thought and judgment. By no means may one member be disrespectful towards members of other religious beliefs or impose his own convictions on others."

"Each member of our ancient and noble Order has to maintain, human dignity by living as an example of purity, justice and goodwill. No matter what the circumstances may be, one can become a living center of goodness, radiating virtue, nobility and truth."


The T. S. verses the H. B. of L.

According to William Emmette Coleman

    In 1875 Mme. B. had claimed to be in communication with an Egyptian Lodge, called the Brotherhood of Luxor, composed of "Adepts" or "Brothers"; Masters in magical lore, and she also caused Olcott to believe that one or more of these "Brothers" had accepted him as a pupil, and that certain communications to him purporting to come from them, and received by the Colonel through her, were the veritable productions of these "Adepts." Olcott asserts that one of them once visited him in his room in a materialized astral form, and as proof of his objectivity left with him his headcovering, which the Colonel retains to this day.

The indication here is that the Theosophical doctrine of Masters is directly based on the H. B. of L. Later however Blavatsky accused that magical order of swindling money from the gullible. The definition in the on-line Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary: defines the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor as "a spurious "esoteric" society started about 1884 in England, which later spread to America before it was exposed as a fraud in Yorkshire by theosophists around 1887," and that in August, 1887, Burgoyne "issued to the members a secret circular, the essence of which was that he had studied Chaldean Astrology for eighteen years, but could not communicate the 'lessons' in it and Occultism without a payment to him of $60; that his teachings had the full approval of the Masters...He was 28 years old at the time. He later published the same material in a book, external link The Light of Egypt, sold for $3.00."

We have seeen that the H. B. of L. was established in 1870, although perhaps it (as the O.T.O. historical documents suggest) only emerged publicly at the later date. Another minor point: if Burgoyne was born in 1855 than in 1887 he was 32, not 28. The reference to the "Masters" is interesting because it seems that the H. B. of L. is where Blavatsky originally developed the idea from. One wonders how much of this material is genuine, and how much slander. There was certainly an ideological difference (apart from her short-lived "Esoteric Section", Blavatsky was very much against teaching practical occultism, considering it too dangerous), and in Lodges of Magic Blavatsky warns members of Randolph and other love-philter sellers. This is evident in a number of letters abnd represents a long-running feud, at leats on Blavatsky's part. For example in a letter A. P. Sinnett, Blavatsky warns him of the "Hindu Brotherhood of Luxor with Davison in it and others working now in the U.S. against us."

It is interesting that most of the few hits on the Web for the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor are Theosophical propaganda of this nature; this stemming perhaps from a number of factors: a falling out between Blavatsky and Theon, and also clearly the puritan theosophists dislike of the controversial sex-magician Randolph who seems to have been associated (rightly or wrongly) with the love-philter con-artists and other quacks that would have been quite numerous at that time.

The Asiatic Brethren

According to Albert Pike, a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason, and American Civil War general, the successors to the Illuminati were the Asiatic Brethren, a secret order created by Moses Dobrushka, Jacob Frank's nephew and successor.62 The Asiatic Brethren, also known as the Fratres Lucis, or the Brotherhood of Light, comprised chiefly of Jews, Turks, Persians, and Armenians, and purportedly represented a survival of the same "Johannite Christians" rescued by the Templars, that is, the Sabians. Their full title was The Knights and Brethren of St. John the Evangelist.

The Grand Master of the Asiatic Brethren, and leading member of the Illuminati, was Prince Karl of Hessen-Kassel, the brother of Wilhelm, and cousin to Frederick II the Great of Prussia. Another member of the Asiatic Brethren was the Comte de St. Germain, a notorious charlatan and alchemist, whom many believed to be immortal. He continues to be regarded by many as the leading figure of modern occult history. St. Germain was a Grand Master of Freemasonry, and had become an acquaintance of Louis XV King of France and his mistress Madame de Pompadour. St. Germain was a permanent houseguest of Karl's, who called him "the greatest philosopher who ever lived," and nicknamed him "Papa". 63

St. Germain was in St Petersburg, where he participated in a conspiracy when the Russian army assisted Catherine the Great in usurping the throne from her husband Peter III of Russia. Catherine the Great is remembered as one of the "Enlightened Monarchs", because she implemented several political and cultural reforms on behalf of the Illuminati. Voltaire, with whom she maintained regular correspondence, called her "Semiramis of Russia", in reference to the ancient Babylonian queen, on whom the worship of the goddess Astarte was based. Catherine was succeeded by her son Csar Paul I. In her memoirs, she strongly implies that his father was not her husband Peter III, but her lover Sergei Saltykoff, one of many aliases of the Comte St. Germain.64

Leading Illuminati like Saint-Martin, Swedenborg and Cagliostro, were all members of the Asiatic Brethren. Following the order's demise, the title of Illuminati was given to the Martinists, founded by Saint-Martin. In 1771, an amalgamation of all the Masonic groups was effected at the new lodge of the Amis Réunis. A further development of the Amis Réunis was the Rite of the Philalethes, formed by Savalette de Langes in 1773, out of Swedenborgian, Martinist, and Rosicrucian mysteries.

Emmanuel Swedenborg became interested in the teachings of Dr. Samuel Jacob Falk, known as the "Baal Shem" of London, who was reputed to exercise miraculous powers through his supposed mastery of the magical names of God. Falk, according to Nesta Webster, was a crypto-Shabbatean, who collaborated with a network of Frankists in England, Holland, Poland, and Germany.65

In Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, Webster explained, "Falk indeed was far more than a Mason, he was a high initiate – the supreme oracle to which the secret socieites applied for guidance." According to Savallete de Langes, "some people believe him to be the Chief of all the Jews and attribute to purely political schemes all that is marvelous and singular in his life and conduct."66

Cagliostro, whose original name is thought to have been Giuseppe Balsamo, was a magician and charlatan who enjoyed enormous success in Parisian high society, in the years preceding the French Revolution. By to his own admission, Cagliostro's mission "was to work so as to turn Freemasonry in the direction of Weishaupt's projects". According to famous revolutionary Louis Blanc, in his History of the French Revolution, 1848, Cagliostro was initiated into the Illuminati at Frankfort, 1781. From them he received instructions and funds to carry out their diabolical intrigues, through the famous "affair of the necklace" against Marie Antoinette, in preparation for their eventual seizure of power in 1789.

Just prior to the French Revolution, the Illuminati had been conspiring to bring about the American Revolution of 1776. Both Washington and Jefferson were ardent defenders of Adam Weishaupt, while Jefferson even referred to him as an "an enthusiastic philanthropist".67 Finally, among the fifty-six American rebels who signed the Declaration of Independence, only six were not Masons. The American constitution itself was inspired by the French Revolution, and the ideals of Freemasonry. It enshrined "Liberty", meaning freedom from the yoke of Christian morality, rules which it attempted to replace with "unalienable rights", a concept originally discussed among the secret meetings of the Illuminati.

THE BEASTS OF GOLDEN DAWN


    Let's take a look at Prussia in the time prior, and leading up, to the bishopric, beginning with the Enlightened Despot, Frederick II (the Great), king of Prussia, and leader of Prussian Freemasonry. Britannica itself (in case you have little confidence in internet articles) tells that he was a Freemason, and we can deduce on logic alone that since he was king, he led Prussian Freemasonry. It is reported that Voltaire said to this king:

        "Lastly, when the whole body of the Church should be sufficiently weakened and infidelity strong enough, the final blow (is) to be dealt by the sword of open, relentless persecution. A reign of terror (is) to be spread over the whole earth, and...continue while a Christian should be found obstinate enough to adhere to Christianity."
        (http://www.the7thfire.com/Politics%20an ... origin.htm)

    Fortunately, the Bavarian Illuminati was discovered and persecuted in 1785, and Frederick died the following year. The Red Terror was brought about by Illuminati forces just a few years later anyway, and what if this murderous mentality remained within the Illuminati for another generation...right up until the pre-tribulation rapture was devised (1830) as a means to explain the disappearance of more "obstinate" Christians? Remember, Edward Irving had been preaching that the rapture would take place, not at the time the God Judges the nations, but at the time that God judges the apostate churches, which in his mind was every church but his own. It seems clear, if indeed the Irvingites had been secret Illuminatists, that the murderous plan disclosed by Voltaire would, when carried out, have been cloaked as God's will.

    Frederick the Great was succeeded by his brother's son, Frederick William II, who joined the Rosicrucian branch of Johann Wöllner, an evangelist out of Grossbehnitz, near Berlin, who was given great license by the king in efforts to procure a Theocratic program. Frederick the Great had earlier instilled freedom of religion in Prussia so that, beside Wollner's reforms, the outcome was chaos. Secret societies competed against one another for top dog, most of them claiming to push Christianity in one way or another. Even the Bavarian Illuminati had presented itself to the public as a virtuous organization, but because it was Kabalistic and therefore anti-Christian at it's (hidden) core, it clashed with Wollner's goals.

    The Illuminati was at that time supported by its public-relations and propaganda leader, bookseller and author, (Christoph) Friedrich Nicolay (usually "Nicolai"). From Berlin, he stood firm against Woolner's Rosicrucians (curious is that the Jews' Society furnished a John Nicolayson, also from Berlin. Hmmm). Where biographers tend to ignore his Illuminati involvement, Nicolai is portrayed more benignly as a defender of the Enlightenment. To help support the idea that the Jacobite Drummonds were either Rosicrucians or their supporters, "Christoph Nicolai claimed that Ashmole and [other Rosicrucians] used Masons' Hall, London, to conceal their secret political efforts to restore the exiled house of Stuart"(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/Writings/FrancisBacon.html).

    As Ashmole was of the Bacon/Dee brand of Rosicrucianism, the above quote shows that the Stewart kings (of Britain) possessed the bloodline desired for a world ruled by Atlantean Rosicrucianism. Aside from a certain Gary L. Stewart who is today (since 1996) the Imperator of a Rosicrucian organization stemming from AMORC, there is a prince Michael Stewart now seeking recognition as a descendant of the Stewart kings. Michael is Head of the European Council of Princes, and with great personal interest he supports the book, Bloodline of the Holy Grail.

    My take on the dispute between Woolner's Rosicrucianism and the Illuminati is that the latter, rather than representing anti-Rosicrucianism, was nearer to the root of Rosicrucianism, while Wollner with the support of the Prussian king had deviated into a new species of Rosicrucianism...one that is "Christian" and therefore dangerous to Christianity. One internet writer who seems to have extensive knowledge into these matters wrote: "As I pointed out in my 1982 article using original source material, the Bavarian Illuminate evidenced by their upper degrees system, clearly were an utopian Rosicrucian organization..." (http://www.epwijnants-lectures.com/cagliostrousa.html).

    The article above goes on to say that "1782 tends to be seen as the moment when Jews captured Freemasonry...they abandoned the claim of descent from the Templars; and the Illuminati moved their headquarters to Frankfurt, which happened to be home to the Rothschild clan." And Friedrich Nicolai had written discrediting things against the Templars. One is left to believe that the Jewish Illuminati gave itself over completely to Kabalistic mysticism, and that Kabbala was being injected into Rosicrucianism at/by this time. That is, a Jewish Rosicrucianism was arising, in opposition to the "orthodox" Templar Rosicrucianism that existed in previous centuries. It is in this conflict that the Jew-versus-Aryan controversy probably began.

    The date, 1782, was at the end of the Hessian-soldier rental period, and still during the freedom-of-religion Enlightenment period of Frederick the Great. After his death (1776), the Illuminati opposed Frederick William II, not only because it opposed monarchs in general, but because he supported the Aryan brand of Rosicrucianism upon which the Enlightenment had previously been based. The Illuminati would inject Jewish elements into the Enlightenment, beginning in Germany.

    Like Rosicrucians before them, Jewish Illuminatists used the pen and libraries to control minds of the populace, and Nicolai was one such master while owning the largest library in Germany. But he had as his accomplice the pro-Jewish writer, Gotthold Lessing, the reputed leader of the German Enlightenment. It was leaked out that Lesser "was neither a Christian nor a deist, but a "Spinozist..." (http://www.commentarymagazine.com/Summa ... 2P84-1.htm)

    Baruch Spinoza (1632-77) was a Marrano Jew exiled (from Portugal) to Holland...the gathering place for Jewish international bankers. Spinoza is considered a precursor to the writings of many Enlightenment authors, and was philosophically into pantheism, teaching that God is mere Nature...a very Rosicrucian ideal and of course the very bottom line of witchcraft that, on a scientific front, leads to atheism and humanism. The Society of Unknown Philosophers comes to mind here.

    Gottheld Lesser brought Moses Mendelssohn into his enlightenment task, the latter a Jewish banker according to some old reports. William Guy Carr claimed that Mendelssohn funded Weishaupt's Illuminati. Others claim that there were greater Jewish bankers above Mendelssohn. Seems logical, and, if true, it would make those bankers the true heads of the Illuminati (Weishaupt becomes merely their visible pawn). But there was also a money bag in Mayer Rothschild's boss, the landgrave of Hesse-Cassel, who may have been exploited by Mayer when the soldier-rental monies came funneling through from the British Treasury. Thus, the Drummond bankers of London can now not be ruled out as Illuminati financiers, even if only indirectly.

    Prussian Rosicrucianism arose in Britain as the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA, founded 1866), which then brought forth the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn" (1887). The Golden Dawn was the most influential occult group of the time, but, the question is, was it (and SRIA) of the Aryan, or Jewish, brand of Rosicrucianism? We could ask the same question concerning other British secret societies of the time, those spun in the Anglican circles of Brooke Westcott and Fenten Hort.

    A co-founder of the Golden Dawn, and its primary mover initially, was William Wynn Westcott; he had also been a member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (became Magus in 1890). But that's not all, for he had been in the inner circle of Blavatsky's Theosophical Society (founded 1875), and Rosicrucians themselves tell us that, "together with Blavatsky's Theosophy, the Golden Dawn was one of the parents of the contemporary Western esotericism." This is important as we go to the next chapter, where we see Nazism founded on Rosicrucianism/Theosophy.

    So, because Theosophy (meaning "Wisdom of God") and Golden Dawn were allied, one might at first glance attribute the both of them to an anti-Jewish, Aryan Rosicrucianism. But further study would suggest otherwise, that the two groups were tentacles of the Jewish Illuminati.

    "The teachings of the Golden Dawn were diverse, and included Ceremonial Magic, Kabbalah, inner alchemy, Tarot, Enochian Magic, astrology, divination, and Egyptian Magic - all with the aim of performing the Great Work of self-realization." In other words, it was a cesspool for Satanism, but as you note that Kabbala is a part of its structure, Jewish involvement comes to mind. It's founder (William Westcott) said that it was an extension of a German Rosicrucian Order called, "Golden Dawn," and the Bavarian Illuminati now comes to mind, for it is reported that Weishaupt had formed a coven called the "Golden Dawn" a century prior to this British counterpart. This is believable in that Weishaupt was also dabbling in Kabalistic magic. The Golden Dawn coven has also been associated with the House of Rothschild.

    William Westcott and a couple of other founders of the British counterpart were "under the direction of the Secret Chiefs of the Third Order who were entities of the astral plane." I think it's safe to conclude that these cosmic "Secret Chiefs" referred cleverly to the Illuminatists who ran the organization invisibly. Attesting to ties with Theosophy, we read further that "The Secret Chiefs of the Third Order were equivalent to the fanciful Mahamas of the Theosophical Society who could also be contacted in the astral plane."
    (http://www.themystica.org/mystica/artic ... _dawn.html)

    This statement could be suggesting that the (human) leaders of Theosophy were also the leaders of the Golden Dawn. The Rothschilds and/or their British Ghost-Society/Fabian-Society associates do come to mind, for the Fabian Society was founded in 1883 and the Society for Psychical Research (previously the Ghost Society) in 1882, just four and five years prior to the founding of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Recall from a previous chapter that the founder of the Ghost Society (Brooke Westcott) had also founded the Hermes Club.

    Aleister Crowley joined Golden Dawn in 1898, and was permitted entry by one founder (Samuel Mathers) into the Second Order; that founder, while running his Paris lodge, claimed to have been permitted into the Third Order (the French Rothschilds??). Crowley the magician was a lover of all manner of sin, and went so far in his lunacy as to claim association with the 666 beast of Revelation 13. Crowley was a fool of the highest order, for which reason he was expelled from the Golden Dawn. However, decades later, several British rock bands promoted the man as Tavistock and Stanford partnered with them in reducing a generation of hippies into similar "open sinners." From these hippies arose charismatic groups with Rosicrucians stripes, including some leaders of the Vineyard churches.

    Researchers have suggested that the British extension of the Golden Dawn stemmed from the "Loge zur aufgehenden Morgenrothe," a Jewish-Masonic lodge in Frankfort. This makes sense, not only due to that title containing the phrase, "Rising Dawn," but because the Bavarian Illuminati had moved its headquarters to Frankfurt. And as evidence that the Bavarian Illuminati had established ties with English Freemasonry, we have this: "In 1817, a subsidiary Lodge [of the Frankfurt lodge] was formed in London by the Duke of Sussex, the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England" (http://www.flashback.se/archive/gdfaq.html).

    The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) was formed in relation to British Freemasons coming out of the closet in 1717, and thus exposing themselves to the public for the first time. In that year, four lodges united into one. One of the first recorded Freemasons, during the earlier, secretive period, was Elias Ashmole (died 1692), an Englishman who had studied Kabbala and was an associate of the Atlantean Rosicrucian, John Dee. The very first recorded Freemason was Robert Moray; he and Ashmole both had roles in founding the Royal Society. Thus, the Freemasons of Britain were Rosicrucians, and as they promoted a New Atlantis, they were Pure-Aryan Rosicrucians, or "Aryans" for short.

        "Historian Frances Yates, in her book The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, in a chapter entitled 'Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry', quotes one De Quincey, who states, 'Freemasonry is neither more nor less than Rosicrucianism as modified by those who transplanted it in England, whence it was re-exported to the other countries of Europe.'" (http://www.mystae.com/restricted/stream ... story.html)

    De Quincey and others may be wrong on one point: Rosicrucianism was not likely transplanted into England from the European continent. For, Freemasons can be traced to the Rosslyn Chapel and its Sinclair Grand Masters, and, in my opinion, to Scottish kings (i.e. the Bruces) of the Rollo-Viking bloodline, and to the Norman kings of England, also from the Rollo bloodline. If true, the reality would be that it was merely the Kabbala aspect of Rosicrucianism that was transplanted/imported to English Freemasonry (e.g. to Fludd, Dee and Bacon). I would agree with that. The implication is that the British Rosicrucians/Freemasons contacted Jews at some point to rub minds.

    Okay, so a subsidiary of the Loge zur aufgehenden Morgenrothe was set up in London by UGLE (1817). If that original lodge was that of the Bavarian Illuminati, then UGLE became tied to the Bavarian Illuminati by at least 1817. Recall that Nathan Rothschild was well entrenched in London in 1817...so that he may have had everything to do with the forming of the subsidiary lodge. That is, Nathan was a friend/member of UGLE by that time. Whether or not the subsidiary was the starting point for the British branch of Golden Dawn, I do not know.

    In 1897, William Westcott was replaced as Golden Dawn head (of the London lodge, anyway) by a woman, Florence Farr. It is pertinent here that she had formed a group (1896) within Golden Dawn that, to the discontent of other leaders, practiced "astral visualization," which obviously squares with the "remote viewing" practiced earlier in the Society for Psychical Research. For a solid history of Golden Dawn, see
    http://www.meta-religion.com/Esoterism/ ... n_dawn.htm

    After Crowley's expulsion from the Golden Dawn, the organization was ruined by scandals; it splintered and for all practical purposes became ineffective with the publicity of its secret rituals and activities. But through all this, an Anglo-German, Theodor Reuss, attempted to gather up an assortment of Illuminati groups, including Golden Dawn and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, which he then united under the name, "Ordo Templi Orientis" (OTO). Reuss had also been a member of the SRIA (i.e. as was the Golden Dawn's founder, Westcott).

    It is very telling when we combine these two facts: 1) William Westcott had claimed the Golden Dawn of Germany to have accepted a rarity in Freemasonry, the memberships of both men and women (whether or not women were permitted memberships in Germany is irrelevant here); 2) Reuss also admitted men and women in OTO. Apparently, then, OTO was intended as an extension of the German branch of Golden Dawn, but in any case was emphatically an extension of the British branch. Indeed, OTO should be viewed as the fixer-upper of the fallen and ailing Golden Dawn.

    If it's true that the Golden Dawn of Germany had been the Weishaupt/Bavarian Illuminati, it is not surprising to learn the fact that Reuss, together with Leopold Engel, formed the "Order of the Illuminati" specifically after Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati!! None of this means that OTO and Golden Dawn were necessarily tied to the Rothschilds, but it certainly makes the possibility tempting.

    The best date (in my opinion) for the founding of the Order of the Illuminati is 1901. But this occurred in Berlin...with Reuss announcing himself the big cheese. Westcott then joined the Order of the Illuminati. "In February [of 1902] Dr. William Wynn Westcott as Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia authorized Reuss to form a Societas Rosicruciana High Council in Germany with Reuss as Magus." During this period, and from the late 1800s, the British Rothschilds were collaborating with the German Rothschilds in a conspiracy to bring about World War I. Did Rothschild secret intelligence transfer through inter-communication channels between SRIA peoples both in London and Berlin, and prior to that through Golden-Dawn channels between London and Frankfurt?

    It wasn't until the time of Reuss' move to London, in 1906, that he, having control of quite a few occult organizations, set himself up as the Really Big Cheese of the whole lot, under "Ordo Templi Orientis." Now read this: "Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925), who was at the time the Secretary General of the German branch of the Theosophical Society, was chartered in 1906 as Deputy Grand Master of a subordinate O.T.O./Memphis/Mizraim Chapter and Grand Council called "Mystica Aeterna" in Berlin. (http://tguild.oto.de/libri/hist_Reuss.html).

    Another Berlin branch of the British Golden Dawn/OTO boys! And the article goes on to say, "As a journalist, Reuss traveled frequently to England." Could a journalist traveling back and forth between England and Germany, while having Freemasonic lodges in Berlin and London, rate as a spy for the Rothschilds?

    In name only, Reuss' OTO had been around since 1895, when Carl Kellner introduced his brand of Rosicrucianism to him. That brand was an extension of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, which itself was rooted in the Asiatic Brethren...of the 18th century, the century that saw the rise of the Bavarian Illuminati. With that in mind, read this: "There are several strands that came into the Asiatic Brethren. One, the Gold RC; another the Martinist current; another the Bavarian Illuminati" (http://www.antiqillum.com/texts/bg/Qadosh/qadosh076.htm)

    There you have it!! The Bavarian Illuminati took part in forming the Asiatic Brethren, and the latter inspired Kellner to devise the OTO. Reuss knew that the Asiatic Brethren were a branch of Bavarian Illuminati, explaining why he formed the Order of the Illuminati.

    One of the three groups mentioned above that merged to form the Asiatic Brethren was the "Gold RC," or Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross (under Samuel Richter). And because the other group, the Martinists, were also Rosicrucians, one could suspect that the Bavarian Illuminati was also a Rosicrucian organization, especially as the Asiatic Brethren produced the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light (i.e. yet another Rosicrucian group). The Martinists are traced back to southern France and Spain.

    The article goes on to say that the Asiatic Brethren were "entirely Judaic," and that the "Asiatic" refers to what is now Turkey. Already I am beginning to form opinions as to their identification: 1) the Iberians, Hebrews who lived as neighbors to Avars, Bulgars, Khazars, and other Caucasian Aryans, but who moved to the Ebro river in Spain. Or, 2) the Cathars (gnostic "Christians" despised by the Vatican) thought by some to have been Khazars. If true, it's possible that the Cathars descended from Hebrew Khazars. The Cathars appear in southern France just as the Khazars are ousted from Khazaria (10-11th century AD)).

    We could be talking Israelite-Gogi peoples, or, if you will, Hebrew-Aryans. But a Hebrew-Aryan peoples turning to Rosicrucianism would be labeled "pseudo-Rosicrucian" by their counterparts, the Aryan Rosicrucians. It's interesting that the Khazars were ousted from Khazaria by the Varangian Rus, for I believe that "Rosicrucian" was derived from "Rus." This is not to say that the Varangian Rus were Rosicrucians, but that their brothers, the Dane and Norman Rus, produced Rosicrucianism in Britain. However, as one line of the Varangian Rus ended up in Scotland with Scottish and English royals, that being the Drummond line, it may very well have joined the Rosicrucians upon arriving.

    There is, in Aleister Crowley, a further connection between the Golden Dawn of England and OTO. For, Crowley would be appointed by Reuss to head the British lodges of O.T.O (1912)...as well as the OTO ecclesiastic arm, the Gnostic Catholic Church (understood as "Universal Gnostic Church"). You will note that this man, claiming to be the beast of Revelation 13, was set up in OTO just in time for World War I (1914). I found this description of the man: "Crowley was a pioneering mountain climber, a pioneering homoerotic poet, a pioneering ritual magician, a heroin addict (not so pioneering), a sleazy womanizer, a closet homosexual, a vocal feminist, a racist, a German collaborator, a British secret agent..." (http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/relig ... r-crowley/)

    What's that? A German collaborator and a British secret agent, together?? Exactly what we would expect if the Rothschilds of both countries were conspiring! In 1914, Crowley transferred to New York, where "he wrote pro-German propaganda...working for British intelligence in this effort" (I kid you not, see website above if you don't believe it). And why was he climbing the Himalayas? Did it have anything to do with meeting the Aryan Brotherhood, the fellows that Blavatsky met in devising her German Theosophy?

    His job in America was to overcome American Illuminatists/Freemasonry. He arranged (early 1930s) for an OTO lodge in California, and in 1941, Parsons joined it; later, Parsons would head that place. But even prior to meeting Parsons, which may have been the reason for meeting him, Parsons was collaborating with Socialists: "Parsons admitted he subscribed to Daily People's World, a West Coast Communist Party organ, in 1938"
    (http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/mad-s ... k-parsons/)

    Parson's father, a millionaire, had worked for Woodrow Wilson, a Rothschild agent!! There is little doubt in my mind that Parsons was likewise a Rothschild agent, especially as a spy in the field of rocketry. Parsons was, after all, given credit as the "father" of the space industry...and that includes activities in the

    military space program. If you decide that "father" is a bit of a stretch, then know that he was among the many leaders of those industries; he is given credit for getting Apollo to the moon. Remember as you read all this that the False Prophet is prophesied to be a leader in the space industry, for he is to cause fire to come down from the sky (Revelation 13:13).

    In an online FBI report, we read that in 1950 Parsons stole documents from Hughs Aircraft Company, pertaining to rocket motors and fuel, and left copies at a Palos Verdes (California) residence (resident not identified). When questioned by the FBI, he said that he was using the information to apply for a job in Israel. The Rothschilds comes to mind.

    John Carter, who wrote a book on Parsons, "suggests that Parsons used jargon associated with the Manhattan Project. At this time Parsons had formed strong sympathetic contacts with the new-found state of Israel, the implication being that he could have been the target of a covert effort to help Israel build a nuclear weapon."
    (http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/132_parsons.shtml)

    The Manhattan Project--the quest of the United States to build the first nuclear bombs--was supported by the elitist Bohemian Club, and I fully expect that Parsons was a member, as his lifestyle would have attracted him there.

    Parson was friend to L. Ron Hubbard, whom we know was also involved in the spy business. Hubbard became involved with Parsons in sex-depraved occult activity, and these nuts, or so it is reported much, sought to give birth to a "moonchild," or a female Avatar messiah to couple with the anti-Christ. Crowley had considered himself the Avatar of the anti-Christ, but then wanted Parsons to become the next Great Beast. Parson wrote: "And thus was I Antichrist loosed in the world; and to this I am pledged, that the work of the Beast 666 shall be fulfilled."

    After stealing Parson's OTO documents, Hubbard modified them to his own liking and started his own movement: Scientology!

    You will recall from early chapters (in Part Four) that Stanford Research Institute, in California, was an arm of the Society for Psychical Research over in Britain (yes, the Ghost Society), and worked routinely for/with the US military and space programs. Stanford also hired Scientologists to conduct LSD and Remote Viewing experiments. Moreover, Edgar Mitchel, sixth man on the moon, founded the department at Stanford which housed these experiments and which worked with Tavistock (in England) to pollute a generation of children with Satanic filth along the lines of what Reuss, Crowley, Parsons, and a host of other bleep-bleeps were all into.

    Although Reuss was impressed with Crowley's Gnostic Mass and other mystic inventions, by 1921 Crowley had made such an egotistic stench of himself that Reuss frowned on the man. It was also in 1921 that the first Imperator of AMORC (founded 1915 in New York), Harvey Spencer Lewis, began negotiations with Reuss concerning their merger into an international partnership. Lewis ended up frowning on the OTO organization, the more he heard from Reuss on it's secrets. Plus, while Spencer had also been influenced by Aleister Crowley, he likewise despised him by 1921, as his correspondence to Reuss reveals. The Spencer-Reuss alliance never happened.

    Lewis, and therefore his creation, AMORC, may have been an over-the-Atlantic branch of the Ghost-Society wizards, and therefore of the Fabian Society, and therefore of Rothschild globalism. For, in 1904, while Reuss was re-organizing the Golden Dawn, and expanding it under OTO, Lewis founded the New York Institute for Psychical Research, reminding us of the Ghost Society's legal name, "Society for Psychical Research."

    AMORC was formed by permission of French Rosicrucians, and claimed roots in the Cathars of ancient France. AMORC is also Masonic, meaning that it claims roots in the Templars. The historical fact was that the Vatican, after persecuting the Cathars to the ground, turned on the Templars as well. And that is why the Cathars and Templars had to form secret societies, to evade Vatican powers. The Cathars who hid for centuries come to my mind when I hear of modern Martinist Rosicrucians.

    While AMORC was (and still is) promoting itself as a Christian group, the OTO did not take on Christian stripes. Perhaps this was intentional, so as to reach Christians by the one organization, and Satanists by the other, for efficient global-cause conditioning. Many Freemasonic lodges target all peoples, from a wide religious spectrum...from Christians to Satanists. To this day, Rosicrucian writings are adamant in their declaring that they will soon rule the world under a Luciferian Christ.

    You might find the following interesting, written by Gary L. Stewart, the Imperator of a Rosicrucian organization:

        I became the Imperator of a Rosicrucian Movement that perpetuated a lineage passed from Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, to his son, Ralph M. Lewis, to myself which was manifesting in an Organization called AMORC. AMORC was created by H. Spencer Lewis in 1915 after several years of preparation. According to the traditional dictates of that lineage (and most other Rosicrucian Lineages that I am aware of), I became Imperator through personal selection by my predecessor, Ralph Lewis, to become his successor after his death -- which occurred in January, 1987" (http://www.crcsite.org/printinterview.htm)
        If that website is no longer in service, see Stewart Imperator

    This Imperator founded the Confraternity of the Rose Cross in 1996, just in time for Edgar Cayce's "prediction" to come true. The purpose of this organization is "to begin a new era of manifestation in accordance with the Rules and Codes of R+C as established in the 17th century." He's referring to the three Rosicrucian manifestos (1614-16). Plus, it would appear that Gary Stewart is even now attempting to unite Rosicrucian orgs for that purpose. Could Golden Dawn peoples today be huddling in a secret alliance with him, or with the new Imperator of AMORC (Gary Stewart lost that job in 1990), as we eat our meat and potatoes watching re-runs of Everyone Loves Raymond?

    William Penn (the Quaker) wrote prolifically on political matters, including, An Essay Towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe "in which he proposed an international organization to prevent wars by arbitrating disputes" (Britannica: 1970; Vol. 17). Doesn't that sound just like the modern UN Security Council? But that Essay was way back in 1693!! Penn then invited some Amish-like Dutch and German Rosicrucians under John Zimmerman to join the Experiment, and these with Johannes Kelpius arrived to the Philadelphia area the very next year, in 1694.

    The Bavarian Illuminati were known from the time of Weishaupt as the "Perfecti," for that is what Weishaupt wished to make of his initiates. But decades before Weishaupt, the above-mentioned Kelpius Rosicrucians were called the "Chapter of Perfection." If I'm not mistaken, the above-mentioned John Zimmerman sounds Jewish, while the Chapter of Perfection was based in London. Those nutty Rosicrucians were magicians and astrologers, and were announcing the return of Jesus for their lifetimes. Two years after they arrived to Pennsylvania, Penn, who owned the state thanks to a British grant from the Stewart rulers (Charles II and the next king, James II duke of York), "drafted the first plan for a union of the American colonies" (Britannica). In other words, not just Pennsylvania, but the United States itself, was intended as an Illuminati utopia, even as Ben Franklin supported the plot:

        "In another book publishing collected writings, Hall agrees with Sachse that the Kelpius group were known as a Chapter of Perfection, and were 'representatives of Bacon's secret society.'...

        "We all have wondered how it is known that Benjamin Franklin [1706-1790] was a Rosicrucian. Well, it is partly by reading what he wrote through his writing, we can recognize his Rosicrucianism. However, Manly P. Hall wrote that Franklin's signature appears on the ledger above that of Marquis de Lafayette, he pointed out at the Lodge of Perfection in France. That Lodge is considered to have been "the greatest of all French lodges" as Hall wrote it. In The Secret Destiny of America, he said of Franklin in America:

            'Franklin spoke for the Order of the Quest, and most of the men who worked with him in the early days of the American Revolution were also members. The plan was working out, the New Atlantis was coming into being, in accordance with the program laid down by Francis Bacon a hundred and fifty years earlier...'

        "Imperator Gary L. Stewart, in 1984, stated that it is known that both Rosicrucians and Martinists attended that French Lodge of Perfection [Gary is a leader in British Martinism]. The Order of the Quest is another of different spiritual Orders tied with the Rosicrucian movement of initiatic individuals, that functioned generally in connection with the western esoteric tradition.

        "As stated earlier, we draw from Hall's and Sachse's work, that the theologically based Kelpius group was also known in Europe as a Rosicrucian Chapter of Perfection. Through translation, it has come down to us from Sasche as being a Chapter of Perfecti. In Europe at that time, members known as perfecti, the adepts of the Rosicrucian movement, had referred generally to their various affiliated groups as 'Chapters of Perfecti'. For the same reason, the chapter in Heidelberg, a Pietist collegium from which Zimmerman and Kelpius came, was known as a Chapter of Perfecti.

        "It was the Lodge of Perfection in London, associated as The Philadelphia Society, that sponsored the Kelpius journey of Rosicrucian emissaries to America....

        "This is fairly objective information linking Benjamin Franklin and the Rosicrucian movement..."

        (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropol ... a_text.htm)

    Because the Quatuor Coronati Lodge (in England) also keeps Kabbala in its framework, and especially because it is dedicated to Zionism, Jerusalem-Temple building, and general "ownership" (i.e. control) of Israel itself, the Rothschilds probably have some measure of oversight. Sir Walter Besant, a founding member of the Lodge, was the brother-in-law of Annie Besant, the second president of the Theosophical Society. A connection, even if only spiritual, would therefore appear to exist between the QC and the Golden Dawn people of the present time (mid 2004), whoever they may be. I can share this for now concerning the identity of QC leaders, that "In 1987 Lord Northampton held a London conference funded by his own Hermetic Research Trust to commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Golden Dawn" (http://www.redmoonrising.com/tm.htm).

   ARYANS VERSUS ROTHSCHILDS



    I do not believe that Hitler was on side with the Illuminati if by that term we mean the Rothschild secret societies that came before him in Britain and France. It appears abundantly clear that the Rothschilds, who were working hard to re-populate Israel with Jews, were opposed by the Nazis in that very agenda. The Nazis were not only attempting to destroy the Jews, but they persecuted the Rothschilds as well, killing at least one of them.

    At one time it confused me to learn that Hitler also persecuted/killed the Jehovah's Witnesses, but now I see that what I considered petty speaks again to Hitler's anti-Rothschild program, for the founder of the JW's was Charles Russell, an avid Illuminatist acting vigorously on behalf of Rothschild Zionism. Apparently, then, the JW's were yet a sufficient threat to the anti-Jewish forces of World War II that they were marked for elimination.

    It is likely that the Nazis knew well beforehand the details of the 1948 Jewish-resettlement mandate. That year coincides with Rosicrucian/Illuminati plots for a New World Order on or about the year 2000. For, through a wildly faulty interpretation of the Daniel-9 prophecy, the leading Rosicrucian, Isaac Newton, had predicted -- three centuries ago! -- that Jesus would return 49 years after the establishment of Israel in Palestine. Rosicrucians of later generations must have taken Newton's scheme to heart because the 20th-century Rosicrucian psychic, Edgar Cayce, had predicted the return of Jesus immediately after the discovery of the so-called "Hall of Records" in 1996-98; note that 1948 plus 49 years lands smack dab between those dates, in 1997.

    Cayce announced the 1996-98 period in 1930ish, long before 1948 arrived, meaning that 1948 had already been chosen, prior to the time of his announcement, as the year of Israeli Independence.

    With peculiarity, if the following be true, Henry Sedgwick of the Rosicrucian/Rothschild Illuminati predicted, while yet in the 19th century, the beginning of the New Age for 2000.5, a date that conjures up 1997 plus 3.5 years. One could therefore get the impression that the year of Israel's re-establishment had been chosen, not by God, but by Illuminati groups, at least several decades ahead of time, to coincide with 2000.

    As we will see in later chapters, the Rothschild Illuminati was wound up in Rosicrucianism, and because Hitler's people were Rosicrucians, he could have learned from Rothschild agents the details of the 1948 Zionist agenda. It may have been this agenda that broke the Nazi-Rothschild partnership, if ever there was one (some suggest there was). We see the rise of the Nazis very soon after the first World War in which Rothschild's pro-Zionist "Balfour Declaration of 1917" was announced. The second World War was thereby assured as a war between the Aryan Nazis and the Rothschilds, in a struggle to wrestle control of Europe away from the Rothschilds.

    We might speculate that, on the one extreme, the Jewish Illuminati wanted a Biblical Millennium with Jews in the highest power structures, while at the other extreme, the Nazi-Atlantean Rosicrucians wanted something quite different, more along the lines of open paganism. One could estimate that this squabble hasn't gone away just because Hitler lost the war; the same divisions could exist today in Illuminata-land.

    When I learned that the Nazis were affiliated with old-Norse paganism, I connected them to the Rose-Line cult simply because I had come to categorize the Rose Line primarily as an old-Norse cult seeking world conquest. Some have suggested that Hitler was an illegitimate Rothschild, but I dunno, although I would not be surprised if what amounts to an official world leader of the New World Order will one day to our future be a Rothschild...by some other name to disguise it.

    Because the Nazi leadership promoted a brand of world-conquest Aryanism, I wondered if they had been connected to the New Atlantis hoax as per the Edgar-Cayce Rosicrucians. Aryanism and Atlantis are hand-in-hand concepts that were promoted prior to the Nazis by the likes of Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society. It is known that Theosophy was intricately entwined around the Golden Dawn cult of England, which itself was a branch of the Bavarian Illuminati to which the first Rothschilds committed themselves:

        "Blavatsky claimed to have been party to revelations from Hidden Masters called the "Great White Brotherhood" who resided somewhere in the Himalayas. But Blavatsky later admitted in letters to her sister that this was a codename for the Rosicrucian hierarchy who funded her. It is clear her work is influenced, if not sourced, in the work of Masonic demagogue General Albert Pike - the American South's Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, Civil War war criminal, and leading member of the Ku Klux Klan - who revealed Rosicrucian/Masonic doctrine and its "Aryan heritage" in his unpublished pamphlet Morals & Dogma (1871) that was distributed to Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret (32nd degree) Scottish Rite initiates" (http://www.kat.gr/kat/history/Mod/nv/Bl ... Helena.htm)

    Not only had Blavatsky been illuminated in the Atlantean world-conquest scheme by Rosicrucian priests of a Tibetan monastery, where she learned that "Atlantean" and "Aryan" were synonymous terms, but she picked the Nazi symbol up from that place so as to reveal the Rosicrucian nature of the Nazis:

        Blavatsky was taught that the most powerful symbol of these esoteric ones was the Swastica. She wrote there were 7 stages of [human] evolution - she named them "route races". The race which should rise again to true spirit she named Aryans. In Tibet the Swastica was known as the "son of fire and creation", but in Madame Blavatsky's teachings the Swastica was the symbol of the Aryan race."

        Guido von List (1848-1919)...was very fascinated by Madame Blavatsky's ideas, too, so he incorporated her occult teachings into his own teachings of German myth"

        "Hitler and the Secret Societies," by Wes Penre,
        (http://www.illuminati-news.com/hitler-occult.htm).

    The German myth that Penre speaks of was "the worship of the god Wotan" (or Odin), the chief Scandinavian god who, I believe, was an ancestral Gogi leader where the Scandinavians had been settled, in the Black-sea region. But not only the Scandinavians, for the ancient Germans were themselves relatives of the Scandinavians, for they too worshipped Odin. It is very interesting that the Bible calls end-time Gog an "Assyrian," while many German researchers claim ancestry in the Assyrians. I should add that both the Scandinavians and the Merovingian Franks are classified today as "Germanic" tribes, and that the Merovingians worshipped Odin very seriously.

    Penre continues to tie the Nazis to the Scandinavians by saying: "Von List taught that the Swastica was '...the very act of creation' based on the Norse legend about the creation of the universe." Then, near the end of von List's life, the "Thule Society" was born (1918) after his teachings. Thule was the name of Scandinavia in ancient times, but has since become a mythical island referring to an ancient civilization. Atlantis comes to mind. Penre writes:

        "Hitler now became a member of even another occult organization - the Vril Society. Vril was the language spoken by the Atlanteans, composed of sounds and clicks...vril was the power that woke up man's ability to be a Superhuman."

    That sounds like "tongues" and the Manifest-Sons-of-God teachings now spreading in charismatic circles. In the next part of my book, I show charismatic connections to Illuminatists/Freemasons, and that Rosicrucian "alchemy," a spiritual transformation of the soul, is very similar to the manifest-Sons doctrine so that we all had better be very careful where the spirit comes from in the churches which teach these things. Penre writes: "The Thule society was an outspring from the Germanen Order, founded in 1912, which also was led by von Sebottendorf. He had published a strange booklet called "Die Praxis der alten türkischen Freimaurerei" [The practice of ancient Turkish Freemasonry]. It was about how alchemy could transformate mankind."

    Turkish Freemasonry? For what it may be worth to you, let me tell that, in my attempts to identify the modern Gogi, I found that the Turks are one main branch. Put concisely, the Gogi were a branch of Scythians, and while some western Scythians evolved into the blue-eyed blonde Sarmations who brought forth the Germanic tribes known variously as Alans/Goths, other Scythians (in the far east) brought forth the Huns who in turn brought forth the Kok-Turks, the latter ruled by Khazars who ultimately produced the Seljuk Turks that in turn evolved into the Ottomans who came to rule Palestine for a long time...until the Rothschilds defeated them in 1917 en route to taking control of Palestine. I note that, also in 1917, the Rothschilds, via the Bolshevik Revolution, took control of the other Gogi, the Russians. The defeated Ottoman Gogi were left confined mainly to Turkey, and I doubt very much that they will put forth the Biblical end-time Gog.

    In the 19th century, the English and German Rothschilds had been involved in, as I touch upon in another chapter (www.tribatch.com/jewsociety.htm), the bishopric-of-Jerusalem scam (1842 onward), wherein the bishops of Jerusalem alternated between Anglican and Prussian bishops, may have been based on a partnership between the English and German Rothschilds. According to Britannica, the Germans, while yet in that 19th century, began to invest huge tax-dollar initiatives for the purpose of building the most skilled and powerful army in the world, as if planning to initiate World War I (1914) many years in advance. The fact that the English Rothschilds can be shown to have been secretly on side with the Germans during that War shows that the Rothschilds from both countries were brainwashing/using the German peoples from an early time to bring these initiatives to pass.

    The Hitler attempt at supremacy becomes staggering, not only as we realize that Rosicrucianism is alive and powerful into the 20th century, but when we suspect that the Roslin Institute, which advances genetic-modification technology, is a Rosicrucian bastion attempting any number of insane possibilities toward "superhuman" world rule. The Roslin institute conducts gene-altering tests on animals as practice for altering human genes and the ultimate goal of successful human cloning. In theory, the blood and/or other body parts on the Shroud of Turin can possibly furnish a clone of the person once wrapped within it, and this clone can then be proclaimed as a resurrected Jesus.

    It's staggering to learn that the father of human genetics/eugenics, Francis Galton, was associated with the scientific think tank, the Lunar Circle/Society (in England), no doubt a Rosicrucian organization after the Royal Society. One founder, if not the founder, of the Lunar Circle was the grandfather of Charles Darwin, and he, Erasmus Darwin, had been the initial promoter of the Origin-of-Species concept. Another member of the Lunar Circle was Samuel Galton, the grandfather of Francis.

    The purpose of the Lunar Circle was to furnish a utopian world through scientific inventions, but, alas, all that it gave us was the smoke and greed of the Industrial Revolution, which even the modern pagans regret and lament. The Rosicrucian, Ben Franklin, was affiliated with members of the Lunar Society, and by and large, the members were advocates of the liberal-minded French and American Revolutions, the projects of various Illuminatists. "Interestingly enough, in an article by Lord Richie-Calder, Lunar Society members were assigned the very esoteric appellation of 'merchants of light.' This was precisely the same description used for the hypothetical society presented in Sir Francis Bacon's New Atlantis"
    (this quote by Ian Taylor, the Creationist I presume, but borrowed from:
    http://www.biped.info/articles/collins1.html)

    Half-cousin to Charles Darwin was Francis Galton, and he used Origin of Species in the way intended by its author, first to become an apostate, and then to attack Christianity. Evolution became "survival of the fittest," and the Nazis came to use just that concept when seeking their superhuman race. Francis had said, "...it would be quite practical to produce a highly gifted race of men by judicious marriages during several consecutive generations" (Britannica 1970 Vol. 8 pg. 815).

    It could be important that Erasmus studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, in the city where the Roslin Institute is now located. "Darwin himself was initiated at the St David's Lodge No 36, Edinburgh in 1754 at a time when Edinburgh was a center for enlightenment and medical knowledge. He was also a member of the Canongate Kilwinning Lodge No 2."
    (http://www.freemasonrytoday.com/issue9-eye.shtml)

    The Enlightenment was a Rosicrucian concept but disguised as Unitarian/Universalist Christianity, otherwise called "liberal" Christianity but known by myself as apostate Satanism, having the purpose of pulling as many Christian souls down as possible. According to freedictionary.com, the precursors of the Enlightenment were the Polish Brethren, a brotherhood of Arians defined as those who reject the deity of Jesus; these spread to the Netherlands where also the Rosicrucians had been brooding. "The Polish Brethren advocated the separation of church and state and taught the equality and brotherhood of all people"
    (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.c ... 20brethren) In other words, the Unites States finds its roots in the Polish Brethren, for as the latter wormed their way into the mind of John Locke, he wormed into the mind of Thomas Jefferson. Erasmus Darwin was cut essentially from the same cloth; it was nothing less than a planned anti-Christian movement with a deliberate air of respectability. With Utopia in mind, "Locke himself declared that 'in the beginning all the world was America.'
    (http://www.metrum.org/mapping/atlantis.htm)

    It would be hard for me to deny that this movement, still with us to this day, will provide the anti-Christ spirit of the last days under the designation, "False Prophet." The question is, which brand of Rosicrucians will put forth the False Prophet, the Rothschilds/Zionists, or the "Christian" apostates, or the neo-Nazis? Or will they all unite? It is perhaps due to the inability of the various Illuminatii to reach a compromise that the New World Order merely spins its wheels at this time. It's true that the New World Order is already upon us, but no official announcement has been made, no official ceremony to mark her commencement, and no set of laws unveiled to which her culture is to conform.

    As the years pass by all the more beyond 2000, the pressure will mount to furnish a compromise. It may be that compromise is implied by the two horns of the False Prophet. The compromise will apparently tie Gog with Europe. But the underlying realities look grim. Firstly, my understanding is that the current right-wing Israeli leadership has for about the last decade snubbed its nose at the Rothschilds. This might cause some of the Rothschilds to abandon Israel, even if only temporarily. It may even turn out that the Rothschilds will send Gog into Israel as preliminary plans to initiate the Millennium by first getting a stranglehold on the nation.

    Many voices have been telling us for quite some time that the ultimate goal of Illuminatists, at the time that they have what they believe is an irreversible handle on world power, is to eradicate Christianity absolutely. This common goal of persecuting Christianity could be the glue that bonds Gog and the West with some sincerity that otherwise would not be the case. Because most of Europe is of Gogi origin, we could view the Gog-Rome alliance as a Gog-Gog alliance.

    Still, what will divide Europeans most, I think, is their divergent views on Israel. The Rothschild Illuminatists who think that they are the instruments of God for setting up the Biblical Millennium need/prefer a thriving Israel. The French rulers, perhaps from the French Rothschilds on down, seem to be pro-Palestinian more than pro-Israel, as can be ascertained, for example, by the fact that Arafat was checked into a French hospital just before he died. Will it be the French Illuminatists who give Gog the finest red-carpet treatment?

    Don't we think that, while George Bush was on his hotline to Tony Blair, that the French were on their hotline to the Russians trying to figure out the best way to overcome Bush and so become top-cheeses in Iraq once again, as they had been when Saddam was in power? Both the French and the Russians lost a lot of money with the ousting of Saddam...and Bush don't care.

    It's interesting that as the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was in the throws of seizing, arresting and jailing Mikhail Khodorkovsky, this majority owner of the huge Russian oil company, Yukos, gave guardian control of his shares to Jacob Rothschild, head of the British branch of the Rothschilds and therefore the traditional/understood head of the European Rothschilds. That is, Khodorkovsky is using the powerful Jacob Rothschild to keep Putin's "grubby hands" off of his Yukos stake, suggesting that Khodorkovsky trusts Rothschild to oppose Putin. This could suggest that Putin and his fellow neo-KGBers now in power, and who may be in power (with or without Putin) for many years to come, are opposed by the Rothschilds.

    This tends to support what I suspected, that Russia's leadership is no longer under the authority of the Rothschilds, even though the Rothschilds had created Russian Communism. But it also tends to explain why the anti-Christ will hate, betray and destroy Europe with fire in the end (after an alliance), as recorded in Revelation 17:16.

    How could Gog continue to attack Jerusalem in the last half of the Week while he is a leader in the West, if not by a total betrayal of Israel by many members of the United Nations, something that is already apparent in current events. Certainly, if it comes to a choice between an abandonment of Israel or Armageddon, the West will choose to abandon Israel, even if the House of Rothschild opposes the new course. And can't we see even now that the Muslim terrorists are seeking to bring the United Nations to this choice by bringing on a world crisis?

    Is it a coincidence that Vladimir Zhirinovsky has found courage enough to publicize his book my the same title as that of Hitler, "My Struggle"? Or is that a bold shot across the bow of the Rothschilds, signalling that the anti-Israeli Aryans are back on their feet for a new war?

    Most members of the UN Security Council voted against Israel, and for Syria, in the latest (Oct 2003) skirmish between the two nations. The United States was alone among the major powers in voting for Israel's right to defend herself against Syria's terrorists. Yevgeny Primakov, as President Putin's political right arm, has issued statements recently calling for no less than the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia to gang up on both the Israelis and the Palestinians...to force the Israelis to make peace!!! Here's how Arab News put it on January 21, 2003:

        JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Russia wants the international community to impose a settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. According to former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, Moscow now believes that with the peace process stalemated, the quartet--the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia--should work out a final solution with moderate Arab states which the UN would then impose on the Israelis and Palestinians...

        The solution, he said, should be based on the plan worked out by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, deputy premier: Israel must unconditionally withdraw to its pre-1967 borders; a Palestinian state must be created; and Arab governments must recognize Israel."

        By Michel Cousins

    Javier Solana, the High Representative of the European Union, during some publicized words with Colin Powell, said, "I think the work of the Quartet is going to continue being done. It will be fruitful and we will get a future for the [Israeli] region which is the one that we want..." (Washington, May 21, 2002). Oops, if that doesn't reveal the dictatorial attitude of the EU, telling Israel how to conduct it's national business according to EU dictates.

    Israel cannot trust the Palestinians with their own state just next to Jerusalem. Some leaders in the Roman world are choosing to be ignorant of this danger, and may even pave the way for the biggest mouth of all to enter into the controversy: Gog. His solution is forthcoming: destroy the Jews and that will be the easy end of the story. Or so he thinks. And in attempting to stave off Armageddon by allowing Gog to desolate Israel, world leaders will actually bring on Armageddon, for YHWH is in ZION!!

    Of course, Israel has pooped on the Quartet's imposing solution, called the "Road Map to peace," and wants it "modified," no doubt meaning that it wants it scrapped. And the extremist Muslims aren't buying into it either because they want nothing less than the removal of all Jews from Israel. But George Bush is himself deeply involved in the Road Map because it's his personal baby. George crosses God when, as per the deal, he favors a grant to the Palestinians for their own state in Israel...by 2005!!

    Mr. Bush, with all due respect, do you not know that YHWH is in ZION??

    I imagine some readers supposing that this Road-Map peace arrangement will manufacture the infamous seven-year covenant of Daniel 9:27. I don't think so. Realize that, sooner or later, there is bound to be some peace initiative made between Israel and some Arab peoples, since much effort to this end is constantly on the go. But we shouldn't rush to conclusions when such a deal is finally put on the table or ratified. Had we proclaimed that the Camp David agreement of 1978 was the Daniel 9:27 covenant, we would have been wrong. Others claimed that it was the Oslo Accords of 1993, and they were wrong.

    My perception of the Daniel 9:27 covenant -- as a war pact between many anti-Israeli peoples and Gog -- may seem strange to most readers in that all other prophecy educators interpret it as a peace treaty between the anti-Christ and many Israelis. As covenants are often based on good will between the parties, defining it as a peace treaty seems a good choice. Yet a covenant defined as a commitment to make all-out war is not strange in this case because, to Arabs, it's a blood-brother pact based on the highest goodness: to destroy Israel. Many Arabs have already made such war pacts; I only await for some Western Powers, to be followed by Gog, to step into (i.e. partake in) such a pact to give it muscle.

    Speaking of Javier Solana, he has other top-dog posts in the EU, is allegedly about to receive the post of EU Foreign Secretary, and is vying for a leadership role in the UN Security Council. Consider the following connection between his mother and Francis Bacon, the latter having been a Rosicrucian leader of the 17th century...who viewed Europe and America as a New Atlantis:

        "Her full name at the time of her death was Nieves Hayat de Madariaga Mathews. She was employed for upwards of 20 years by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization), a United Nations agency headquartered in Rome. Her Yale University-published book on the life of Sir Francis Bacon was released in 1996. The 606 page volume is entitled, Francis Bacon: The History of a Character Assassination. Interestingly, Nieves de Madariaga Mathews (Solana's mother) claimed in her acknowledgements that the book was suggested and blessed by 'my teacher, Osho, who thought highly of Francis Bacon and gave the book his blessing.' Osho is more commonly known in USA circles as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Rajneesh gained extensive notoriety in the USA in the 1980s for his alleged Oregon cult compound. He was deported from the USA for its claimed excesses."

        (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Solana)

    Constance E. Cumbey wrote that Solana's mother "was fascinated by the 'invisible college,'" that organization being the Bacon-backed (oops) Rosicrucian "institution" ("secret society" is more like it) that became the Royal Society (of London). The above article goes on to say that Solana is an "Atlanticist," defined as one involved in a European-American alliance in world affairs. Tony Blair (Prime Minister of Britain) is said to be an Atlanticist. This term not only seems couched in Atlantis, but perfectly describes a two-horned False Prophet as I've envisioned it (not at all suggesting that Blair and/or Solana is one of the two horns). Solana is, in my opinion, the Illuminati pawn in Europe.

    The article also says that Solana's brother "was the first known Socialist party member to join the Trilateral Commission." The Trilateral Commission was allegedly founded by Rothschild Illuminati agents. It openly declares its specific purpose of bringing America, Europe and Japan together in world affairs...with obvious emphasis on ties between America and Europe. Thus, if Javier's brother, merely a chief in a telephone company, was brought into the Trilateral Commission's service, then Javier himself, now nearly the "king" of Europe, must be an Illuminati pawn: created, uplifted, and controlled by dragon forces disguised as lambs.

    While it seems obvious by his mother's promotion of Francis Bacon that Rosicrucian powers are lifting him to his heights, Solana may be tied to Socialist/Fabian Rothschilds because he has been a 40-plus year member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party. "52 United States congressmen...telegraphically protested his appointment because of his alleged Marxism and open Castro sympathies." (website above). Moreover, the said Spanish Party is a member of Socialist International which has its executive department in London, while "Its members include the Labour Party (United Kingdom), SPD (Germany), the Democratic Socialists of America (USA), the Australian Labor Party, and New Democratic Party (Canada)."
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_International)

    That's a Rothschild-Illuminati beast if ever I heard one! Indeed, Socialists International is an out-cropping of Second International formed over a century ago in 1889, just a half dozen years after the founding of the Fabian Society (of Britain) to which certain Rothschilds were dedicated. The First International, officially called "International Workingmen's Association," was a product of Carl Marx, himself a Bavarian/Rothschild Illuminatist.
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_International)

    What makes this such an enormous point of concern is that a Socialist leader in Europe, when acting near-dictatorially under Rothschild powers, can with some good conscience, and perhaps with some rabid desire, furnish the Biblical tie (i.e. the Harlot on a Beast) between Europe and Gog (Rev. 17). Solana is already being called the "tzar" of the European military, even before taking on his highest post (slated for 2006). The Party of European Socialists (founded 1992), using a red-rose logo, is associated with Socialist International.
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_of_E ... Socialists)

    A European brother (whose name I won't mention), who has been digging to discover Solana's background, has been sharing some information with me on him. He shared this quote with me:

        "The same year "Freedom From War" was issued, another Rhodes scholar, Richard Gardner, became Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and three years later
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE)
- The Mother Lodge of worldwide freemasonry.
- Formed by combining the two existing forms of freemasonry in 1813. The first Grand Master was the Duke of Sussex.
- Edward, the Duke of Kent is now the Grand Master of this lodge and therefore the worldwide king of freemasonry.
- The Assistant Grand Master of UGLE is Lord Northampton, Spencer Douglas David Compton, the 7th Marquis of Northampton (he runs the show and directs the plans to rebuild the Temple).

The Quatuor Coronati Lodge, (The Four Crowns Lodge)
- Founded as a special research lodge by the Grand Master of UGLE, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, in 1884. The QC Lodge was then officially chartered in 1886.
- The inaugurating speech was entitled "Freemasonry as Seen in the Light of the Cabala."
- The lodge was to focus on Palestine, the Cabala, establishing a Jewish homeland, and rebuilding Solomon's Temple.
- Sir Charles Warren was the first grand master of the QC Lodge. He was also the president of the Palestine Exploration Fund, and two decades earlier had been the chief engineer for British excavations of the Temple Mount.
- Sir Walter Besant was a founding member of QC and was the treasurer of the Palestine Exploration Fund under Warren. Besant was the brother-in-law of Annie Besant, the president of the Theosophical Society after Helena Blavatsky.
- The PEF was founded in 1865 with money from the British Crown, UGLE, the Rothschilds and the Church of England. The event commemorating it's founding was chaired by the Archbishop of York who proclaimed that the Holy Land was, by divine right, English Property.
- In their recent books researchers Steven Knight and Melvyn Fairclough combine to paint a picture that implicates members of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge for the infamous Jack the Ripper murders in the late 1880's. They were covered up by Sir Charles Warren, who happened to be the Chief of London's Metropolitan Police.
- Michael Baigent, the lead author of the speculative series of books, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail," "The Messianic Legacy," and "The Temple and the Lodge," is a member of the QC Lodge.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
- One of the most famous occult societies of the 20th Century.
- The Theosophical Society was formed in 1875 by Blavatsky and Colonel Henry Olcott, originally focused on Western mysticism. In the early 1880's Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland joined the TS, and by 1884 they were the heads of the London Lodge of the TS.
- When Blavatsky and Olcott converted to Buddhism and changed their focus to Eastern mysticism Kingsford and Maitland left the TS and formed the Hermetic Society. This group attracted S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Dr. W. Wynn Westcott.
- The Golden Dawn was then formed in 1888 by Westcott, supported by Mathers and Dr. William Robert Woodman. Their goal was to continue the tradition of Western mysticism that had been abandoned by the Theosophical Society.
- These three men were steeped in the philosophies of freemasonry, rosicrucianism and the cabala. Westcott was a master mason and the secretary general of the SRIA, latin for the Rosicrucian Society of England. Woodman was a leading member of the SRIA and an expert cabalist. He initially played a lead role in developing Golden Dawn's cabalistic studies, but he died in 1891.
- Prominent members of the Golden Dawn include Florence Farr, the famous stage actress and head of the London branch; William Butler Yeats, also a member of the TS and friend of Blavatsky, who earned a Nobel Prize for literature in 1924; and Aleister Crowley, the celebrated Satanist and black magician.
- Until his death in 1991 Ellic Howe was the world's foremost authority on the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley. He was inducted into UGLE in 1970 ,and then only eight years later he was elected Grand Master of the QC Lodge.
- After Howe died Robert A. Gilbert became the most respected promoter of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley. He replaced Howe as the Grand Master of the QC Lodge. His book on the GD features an intro by Israel Regardie who was Crowley's friend, biographer and personal secretary. Regardie had also been involved in promoting LSD.

Aleister Crowley
- Born in 1875. After leaving Trinity College of Cambridge he was introduced to George Cecil Jones, who introduced him to the Golden Dawn. Crowley was initiated into the GD in London in 1898.
- Soon the GD was split into two competing camps, one headed by Florence Farr in London and the other by MacGregor Mathers in Paris. When Crowley was denied access to the Second Order in London he went to Paris and was initiated by Mathers. Yeats and other members of the London branch then had Mathers and Crowley expelled.
- "In 1903, Crowley married Rose Kelly, and they went to Egypt on their honeymoon. After returning to Cairo in early 1904, Rose (who until this point had shown no interest or familiarity with the occult) began entering trance states and insisting to her husband that the god Horus was trying to contact him. As a test, Crowley took Rose to the Boulak Museum and asked her to point out Horus to him. She passed several well-known images of the god and led Aleister straight to a painted wooden funerary stele from the 26th dynasty, depicting Horus receiving a sacrifice from the deceased, a priest named Ankh-f-n-khonsu. Crowley was especially impressed by the fact that this piece was numbered 666 by the museum, a number with which he had identified since childhood." (from http://www.mt.net/~watcher/crowleyalienlam.html)
- Crowley divorced Rose in 1910 after she succumbed to alcoholic dementia and was placed in an asylum. Crowley's second wife also went insane, and five of his numerous mistresses committed suicide.
- Crowley was given the nickname of "The Beast" by his mother, and promoting this title himself he is commonly referred to as "The Great Beast," and was well known as "the wickedest man in the world."
- After splitting with the Golden Dawn he formed the AA, or Astrum Argentium, with G.C. Jones in 1906 to further his occult studies.
- In 1910 Crowley was contacted by the head of the O.T.O., the Ordo Templi Orientis, Theodore Reuss, and joined their order. Crowley took over in 1921 when Reuss suffered a stroke.
- The foundation of Crowley's belief was the slogan, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," supposedly passed to him by his spirit guide Aiwass. Crowley was the tutor of Aldous Huxley, who was a champion of LSD and one of the greatest promoters of the social upheavals in America in the late 60's. Crowley's philosophy became reflected in the mantra of "If it feels good do it."
- A picture of Crowley appears on the cover of the Beatles "Sergeant Pepper's" album, and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page bought Crowley's estate in Scotland.
- Crowley wrote an account of his spiritual progress in magic and Satanism under the title "The Temple of Solomon the King."

Lord Northampton
- Spencer Douglas David Compton, born 1946. His great grandfather was William Bingham Baring, head of the Baring Bank, descended from Francis Baring the chairman of the British East India Company. The BEIC brought England into the lucrative international opium trade, a business that the British Royal Family and their agents now monopolize. According to EIR's "Dope, Inc." Baring Brothers bank has been the premier merchant bank of the opium business from 1783 to the present day.
- In 1987 Lord Northampton held a London conference funded by his own Hermetic Research Trust to commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Golden Dawn.
- Lord Northampton comments on AC and the GD, "I know the Golden Dawn extremely well, and I love Aleister Crowley's poems and Macgregor Mathers, and all those people and I know all the people in England who are still practicing it, and I have done the rituals. I have done all these things. Great fun. Tremendously exciting!"
- Lord Northampton has been the Assistant Grand Master since 1995 and he has been appointed as the Pro Grand Master, to replace the present one in April 2001. The PGM acts in place of the GM when the GM is absent.

Professor Giuliano Di Bernardo
- Current grand master of the Regular Grand Lodge of Italian freemasonry.
- Former head of the Grand Orient Lodge of Italy. The GOI contained the infamous P-2 Lodge, which was connected with terrorism and fraud involving the Vatican, the mafia and the Red Brigades. It was officially closed in 1976 but continued to operate underground until 1981 when it's grand master Licio Gelli was arrested and sentenced to seven years. Apparently Gelli was a CIA operative charged with controlling communist insurgency, and his sentence was later overturned. EIR contends that P-2 was also operated from the UGLE through the Duke of Kent.
- Upon quitting the GOI Di Bernardo accused his old lodge of Satanic rituals saying, "in the lodges of the GOI, obscene rites are practiced, deriving from the Templar tradition, in which the devil Baphomet is invoked, together with the Supreme Being."
- Lord Northampton is an avid supporter of Di Bernardo and has charged him with the task of preparing the way for rebuilding the Temple. In June, 1996 Bernardo published his book "Rebuilding the Temple."
- In an interview he explains his goal, "A new utopia may be based on the cabala. I see a utopia based on Jewish mysticism, but Jewish mysticism as a place... a material place, Solomon's Temple... This is my intention. This is my will!"
- Di Bernardo has also spoken of how the director of the ADL of B'nai B'rith, Abe Foxman, is a collaborator in the plan to rebuild the Temple, and that he, Foxman and Lord Northampton met in Switzerland just prior to the launching of the Jeruslalem Lodge, to discuss the project. Di Bernardo says that there are strong connections between B'nai B'rith and freemasonry.

The Quest to Rebuild the Temple
- Two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War which saw Jerusalem and the Temple Mount brought under Israeli control, there occurred the greatest freemasonic meeting in history in London, celebrating 250 years since the founding of UGLE, at which the Duke of Kent was installed as the new Grand Master.
- Shortly after, the QC Lodge dispatched a member, the Jewish physicist Dr. Asher Kaufman, to begin studies on the exact location of where the Temple originally stood.
- The Temple Mount Faithful was also established at this time by Stanley Goldfoot, which is presently led by Gershon Solomon.
- In December of 1995, a month after Rabin was assassinated, the Jerusalem Lodge was established adjacent to the Temple Mount in the underground Grotto of King Solomon.
- This lodge was founded by Giuliano Di Bernardo, and at the opening ceremony he declared, "The rebuilding of the Temple is at the center of our studies."

The Palestine Exploration Fund and the Biblical Archaeology Society
- The Palestine Exploration Fund is controlled by the royal family, and this group points to the Biblical Archaeology Society as the authority on Solomon's Temple. Founded in 1974 it produces four publications including Biblical Archaeology Review, which was at one time led in part by Barbara Ledeen, whose husband Michael wrote a book entitled Universal Fascism, which praised anti-Catholic masonic revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini.
- BAR promotes two men as the established experts on the Temple Mount: Dr. Asher Kaufman, of QC, and Dr. Leen Ritmeyer who works for the Rothschild banking family. According to Dr. Rupert Chapman, the PEF's secretary, Kaufman and Ritmeyer are sponsored by the PEF.
- The PEF is scheduled to publish the work of their treasurer Dr. David E. Jacobsen, who is a scientist at the Marconi Foundation, which will be a book on Solomon's Temple based on the original papers of Sir Charles Warren's study of the Temple Mount over 100 years ago.
- Dr. Leen Ritmeyer is a dutch-born architect who received his doctorate from England's Manchester University based on his work on the design of Solomon's Temple. He has been financed almost from the beginning by Lord Jacob Rothschild, the head of Rothschild Investment Trust.
- Ritmeyer claims to have pinpointed the exact place where the Ark of the Covenant was placed within the Holy of Holies, a spot currently occupied by the Dome of the Rock, and the PEF is also scheduled to publish this discovery.
- The Rothschilds have been the largest financial supporters of archaeological digs in Israel this century, and the famous Masada dig of the '50s was actually called the "Edmond de Rothschild Masada Dig."
- The Sep.-Oct. 2000 issue of BAR was a special double issue dedicated to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, and the main article was entitled "More Temple Mount Antiquities Destroyed," which documented illegal construction and excavation on the Mount by Muslim authorites. Ariel Sharon entered the Temple Mount, accompanied by hundreds of security personal, on September 28, bringing the peace process to an immediate halt and sparking the current "Al Aqsa Intifada."

Ariel Sharon
- Trained at the Military Staff College in Britain in the '50's.
- Sharon's patron within the IDF was General Avraham Yoffee, who often took Sharon on hunting trips to Africa.
- Yoffee was a good friend of Sir Peter Scott, who collaborated with Prince Philip and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in founding the WWF. Yoffee founded Israel's Nature Preserve Authority.
- Barry Chamish relates how a friend spotted Sharon and Henry Kissinger coming out of a meeting at a trade conference. Chamish then contacted Sharon's spokesman Raanan Gissen, who admitted that Sharon has met with Kissinger every time he has visited America since the Yom Kippur War.
- Regarding Kissinger, from EIR's "Dope, Inc."
"On May 10, 1982, addressing a celebration at the Royal Institute for International Affairs at Chatham House in London, Kissinger boasted that throughout his career in the Nixon and Ford administrations, he had always been closer to the British Foreign Office than to his American colleagues, and had taken all of his major policy leads from London. Kissinger set up the international 'consulting firm' Kissinger Associates, in partnership with Britain's Lord Carrington, shortly after he delivered that Chatham House lecture."

A long link on Russian FreeMasonry -- another angle from the East -- The Bolshevik Jews used this to create a "New Man":

QuoteRUSSIAN FREEMASONRY: A NEW DAWN
AN OVERVIEW FROM 1731 TO 1996
This paper was delivered by V.W. Bro. Richard L. Rhoda, P.G.J.D., and Senior Warden of the Maine Lodge of Research at its annual meeting held at Orient Lodge No. 15 on June 29, 1996.
This paper is dedicated to Most Worshipful Brother George Dergachev, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Russia, and his 108 brethren.

    "Russian Freemasonry began and grew in a period of Russian history similar to that of the present day. The great war with Sweden, which drew heavily upon the resources of the country, had just been terminated by Peter the Great, and his sweeping reforms were bringing great changes to the whole Russian life. The old culture of Russia was being uprooted, and the dawn of a new history was just breaking."(1)

Bro. Boris Telepneff, 1922(2)

While 1995 was the 175th anniversary of the celebration of the Grand Lodge of Maine, it also marked the rebirth of the Grand Lodge of Russia for the first time in 173 years. It was constituted by the Grand Lodge Nationale Francaise on June 24, 1995 in Moscow.

At the suggestion of Grand Master Walter Macdougal, this paper has been prepared to suggest the challenge of considering what Maine Masons can do to assist in ensuring the survival and growth of Russian Masonry at this time.

Many will be aghast and unbelieving of such a suggestion. Strong will be the sentiment and pronouncements from certain quarters that we should do nothing, while others will say do nothing now but wait and see, and most curmudgeonly of all will be those who will say wait until they seek us out for recognition.

How long might we have to wait before the Masons of the Grand Lodge of Russia decide that they wish to be recognized by the Grand Lodge of Maine? Somehow I suspect that the few brave Russian Freemasons will have much more on their minds for years to come. Really, what is the State of Maine in the eyes of a Russian? Almost guaranteedly an unequivocal "Unheard of!"

With no offense to the many Grand Lodges in Brazil or Mexico, how many Maine Masons know of those various Grand Lodges or feel a need to reach out to them? With no national grand lodge in those countries, as here in the United States of America, Masonic recognition can be very slow in coming and perhaps only then because it is part of a wave when other grand lodges are doing it.

The Masonic issue for us has to be what can we do today to help ensure the successful rebirth and growth of Freemasonry in Russia! Formal recognition and all that good stuff can and will come in time, if Russian Freemasonry succeeds. But if it does not, when might the light be rekindled?

Russian Freemasonry has been reconstituted by the Grand Lodge Nationale Francaise with which we are in fraternal relations. We could sit in lodge with one of those Russian Freemasons and not be in violation of our Masonic obligations. So, why not reach out and correspond, encourage, and assist these Russian brethren if we can? Would not one of their lodges, or better yet another new lodge, appreciate receiving a used set of officers' jewels or aprons that one of our lodges no longer needs? Would one of our lodges be interested in purchasing two dozen white cloth aprons or gloves as a gift for one of the lodges? There is much we could do in the finest tradition of Masonic Brotherhood and Charity.

Getting off the bully pulpit, let us take a brief look at the history of Freemasonry in Russia. This must be brief and detached from Russian history which profoundly affected its existence and demise. Yet, a few lines about the country's leaders are necessary to start to understand the conditions and circumstances under which Freemasonry existed.

Today our own Freemasonry is well established with no fractious bodies and eccentric leaders. Our Freemasonry is not derived from tablets of orthodoxy existing from time immemorial. While our system with its concordant bodies functions smoothly and without question in this day and age, such was not always the case. This observation is made so that we do not look too askance at the history of Russian Freemasonry which underwent birth and growing pains not unlike our own. The albatross for the Russians were their totalitarian rulers who were the norm for Europe at that time. Democracy as America brought to the world in 1776 with its Declaration of Independence was unknown and soon greatly feared. The French Revolution instilled fear throughout Europe. We must remember that it is only now that the seeds of true democracy are trying to catch hold and grow and be pursued to reach their ideals in Russia.

Peter the Great, the reformer, brought about the Imperial Age of Russia. He was the grandson of Michael Romanov, the founder of that line which ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917. Peter opened Russia to the west, embracing its ideas and seeking association with it. He traveled throughout Europe and sent students to study and learn its ways. He built a city on the Baltic Sea, St. Petersburg, better known in our life times as Leningrad, which became Russia's window to the west. He moved its government there from Moscow, the historical capital of Russia since the mid-thirteenth century.

Peter the Great was co-tsar from 1682 to 1689 with his half-brother, Ivan V. He was but 10 years old when ascending the thrown from which he solely ruled from 1694 to his death in 1725. One Russian tradition has it that Peter became a Mason on a trip to England and brought it back to Russia. There is no hard evidence of this and most likely it is but another example of trying to gain acceptability by reference to association with a revered leader. It must be remembered that organized speculative Masonry had only existed in England for eight years before Peter died. Peter's greatest contribution to Russian Freemasonry is that he made it possible by opening up Russia to foreign merchants who settled and traded in Russia.

The most influential group of foreigners in Russia in the eighteenth century were the Germans from their various states who were connected with the Romanov family. Also of significant importance, both masonically and politically, were the Swedes who were a dominant political power in Northern Europe.

The period following Peter's death until 1762 saw a series of five leaders who are of no great significance to us except for their German influence. Anne, 1730-1740, was a sister of Peter the Great, and the widow of the Duke of Courland. Peter III, 1762, a grandson of Peter the Great, was the Duke of Holstein-Gattorp, and ruled but a few months before being overthrown in a palace coup and replaced by his German wife, Katherine, Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst. She would rule until 1796, become known as Katherine the Great, and cause the first blows to fall on Russian Freemasonry.

As with English Freemasonry, little or nothing is known of the earliest lodges in Russia. They were most certainly in St. Petersburg and Moscow and were formed by foreigners, English or German.

Following the birth of speculative Masonry in London in 1717, grand lodges were formed in Ireland in 1730, Scotland in 1736, and in various continental countries. Those grand lodges were wont to appoint Provincial Grand Masters over vast territories to expand their authority wherever their people settled.

The earliest reliable information about Russian Freemasonry was the appointment by the Grand Lodge of England of Captain John Phillips in 1731 as the Provincial Grand Master of Russia. This would have empowered him to establish lodges in Russia which would have been ultimately under the control of London. No further information is known of him or of what he did, although it is speculated that he was a merchant captain.

The next Provincial Grand Master was General James Keith who was appointed in 1740 or 1741. He was of a celebrated Scottish family but made the mistake of supporting Charles Edward Stuart, Pretender to the Throne of England. He fled to Spain and eventually to Russia in 1828. He served its leaders with distinction while attaining the highest military honors. In 1747 he left Russia to serve Frederick the Great of Prussia.

While the earliest Masonic lodges in Russia generally were formed by foreigners, under Keith Masonry started to move into Russian society where its members were mostly young officers from the best families.

In 1756, under Empress Elizabeth (1741-1762), a daughter of Peter the Great who lead a reaction to foreign influences, Russian Freemasonry met an obstacle when the Secret Chancellery of the Empire made an inquiry into what was the foundation of and who constituted its membership. "The inquiry says first that Freemasonry was defined by its members as 'nothing else but the key of friendship and of eternal brotherhood'."(3) Masonry was found not to be dangerous and it was allowed to continue, "although under police protection." Until this time, Masonry had existed as a fraternal brotherhood of no exceptional interest to the government except for its foreign influence. It was under Katherine the Great that Russian Freemasonry was to bloom with its own national leaders and organization. Under her, the first suppression of masonry would begin.

The first prominent Russian Freemason was Ivan Perfilievich Yelaguin (1725-1794), Senator, Privy-Counsellor etc. etc. He belonged to an ancient family of Russian noblemen and enjoyed the confidence of Katherine the Great (1762-1796). In June 1771, the Lodge of Perfect Unity was constituted in Petersburg by the Grand Lodge of England and drew its members mostly from English merchants who lived there. Many Russian nobles were also masons and they requested that the Grand Lodge of England issue a warrant for Yelaguin to be the Provincial Grand Master in the Russian Empire. This was done and the English system of Masonry met with great success and growth under his leadership. In 1770, Yelaguin had been elected Grand Master of the Grand Provincial Lodge of Russia under the auspices of the Berlin Grand Lodge, "Royal York." On February 28, 1772, he was appointed by the United Grand Lodge of England as Provincial Grand Master of the Empire of Russia. Under Yelaguin, members of the best Russian families joined the craft.

In his memoirs, Yelaguin described early Russian Freemasonry "as rather superficial: 'The worship of Minerva was often followed by the feasts of Bacchus'."(4) Yelaguin considered "of paramount importance the Masonic teachings of self-knowledge, moral perfection, benevolence, charity and virtue."(5)

Throughout the 18th century, Freemasonry developed down several avenues, especially on the Continent and in Russia. Orthodox Craft-Masonry from England was known as "Yelaguin's System." Its chief rival was the "Zinnendorf System" which emanated from Sweden and came to Russia via Berlin and a Bro. George Reichel. To the three blue lodge degrees the later system added certain "Knightly Degrees" which in Russia were felt to possess some mysterious knowledge.

In 1777, Grand Duke Paul Peter, son and political adversary of his mother, Empress Katherine, was initiated into Freemasonry by the King of Sweden who came to Petersburg for the occasion. By 1778 the major influence in Russian masonry was shifting to Moscow and that of St. Petersburg was declining. This was at a time when the Craft was faced with warrants from several different authorities and practiced many differing rites. There was no unifying national soul to Russian Freemasonry.

Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, in A History of Russia, writes that during the reign of Katherine the Great, Russian Freemasonry reached a zenith of about 2,500 members in some one hundred lodges in St. Petersburg, Moscow and some provincial towns. He further writes that "in addition to the contribution made by Freemasonry to the life of polite society, which constituted probably its principal attraction to most members, specialists distinguish two main trends within that movement in eighteenth century Russia: the mystical, and the ethical and social. The first concentrated on such commendable but illusive and essentially individual goals as contemplation and self-perfection. The second reached out to the world and thus constituted the active wing of the movement."(6)

The mystical aspect of Russian Freemasonry came through the Rosicrucians who were Christian mystics and students of mystical and occult lore. They were sometimes called "Martinists," from the great respect which they at one time held for the teachings of Louis Claude de St. Martin. At this time the Rosicrucian movement became dominant in Russian Masonry with one of its leaders being Nicholas Novikov (1744-1816), who was perhaps the most active publicist in Moscow. He, along with I. G. Schwarz, were prime movers in the Moscow period of Russian Masonry.

Mysticism permeated Russia during the reign of Katherine with St. Petersburg's fashionable society leading the way. The traditions of Russian Masonry and the Rosicrucian of the 18th century included: the practice of Christian virtues and self-improvement, philanthropy, Christian mysticism, and opposition to atheism, materialisms, and revolutionary tendencies.

Especially after 1782, the Rosicrucian movement was spread by I. G. Schwarz in Russia. He had gained the recognition of the independence of Russian Masonry from the Swedish system. In July 1782, he attended a Masonic Convention in Wilhelmsbad held by the Duke of Braunschweig, Grand Master of the Rite of Strict Observance. He also obtained from German Rosicrucians the authority to promote the Order in Russia.

In 1783 Schwarz broke from the Duke of Braunschweig and "Russian Masons joined the main body of the Rosicrucian brotherhood"(7) which became a dominant influence in Russian Masonry for some time.

The Rosicrucians relied on the "lower" Masonic degrees for a new brother to learn of his vices and shortcomings. He was to become a better man through instructions in science and ethics while being delivered from the seven deadly sins of pride, arrogance, gluttony, lust, greediness, laziness and anger. After he regained for himself the prelapsarian state of man, he could pursue a mystic union with God in the higher grades of the order.

In 1784 Schwarz died and the fortunes of Russian Freemasonry would not survive his loss. A board of three plus two elected Grand Wardens oversaw the Craft and it even developed and spread into provinces but intrigue and suspicion brought it down.

In the 1780's two other factors played in the demise of Russian Freemasonry. As Peter III had been very favorably disposed towards Freemasonry, Katherine was somewhat hostile to any favorites of her late husband. Since the estrangement from the Grand Lodge of England, Russian Freemasonry had become too much associated with German Masonry which was under the leadership of Frederick the Great of Prussia, archenemy of Katherine.

Katherine's leading political rival was her son, Grand Duke Paul, who was her open enemy. If he in fact was not a Mason he was favorably inclined towards the Craft, at least the symbolic lodges. He was Grand Master of the Knights of Malta which had a rivalry with the Masonic Templar degrees.

The Masonic Rosicrucian leader, Nicholas Novikov had a prominent bookshop in Moscow. Following a raid on it in 1786, books on Masonry were declared to be more dangerous than those of the French "Encyclopaedists" . This was in spite of a decision by the Metropolitan of the Russian Church in Moscow that the books, some 461 works, were all faithful to the church. At this time the schools and hospitals sponsored by the Masons were taken away from their control.

In 1787 a terrible famine swept over Russia. The Masons organized the most effectual help for the stricken population through the efforts of Novikov who formed a society especially for that purpose. There were fears that some Masons were trying to acquire popularity among the masses for political purposes through their charity.

Prior to 1790, Katherine had presented a front of being favorable to the teachings of the Enlightenment and of Voltaire but she became frightened by the French Revolution. Novikov was supportive of a book by Alexander Radishchev, Journey from Petersburg to Moscow, which showed the terrible plight of the Russian peasants. Radisheckev's call for the reform and emancipation of the serfs was the final straw and the pendulum swung back from any liberal views that Katherine had been masquerading behind.

In April 1782, secret societies were prohibited by the government but Masonry had not been subject to the regulation. In 1791, the General Governor of Moscow undertook to suppress Masonry. Novikov was arrested and confined while others received milder punishments. By 1794, Katherine made it known to her statesmen who she knew belonged that the Craft did not meet with her approval. While there was no open prohibition to the Craft many lodges in St. Petersburg voluntarily closed in compliance with the desire of Katherine. Yelaguin issued an Order closing all of his English orientated lodges which had generally opposed the Rosicrucian influence.

With the accession of Paul I to the throne in 1796 he abolished the sentences against Masons which had been passed on them under his mother's reign. While Masonry remained prohibited, officially, it existed and even began to increase again. He was killed in a palace revolution in 1801.

Alexander I, surnamed the Blessed, son and successor of Paul I, ruled Russia from 1801 to 1825. Under him, Freemasonry again rose high in the east only to be struck down again as its members deplored its lamentable condition following years of weak leadership and as it became a political concern to the Emperor.

The tradition exists that Alexander became a Mason in 1803 and there is evidence that he was a member of a lodge in Warsaw. While all secret societies were still banned in Russia, new lodges began to appear. In 1810 Masonic lodges were officially allowed and recognized and many bore his name. New lodges not only appeared in Moscow and St. Petersburg but also in Siberia and the Crimea. Many military lodges were formed during the Napoleonic wars.

In 1810 the old adherents to the Yelaguin or English system of Masonry joined with the Rosicrucian Masons to form the Grand Directorial Lodge of Saint Prince Vladimir of Order as the unifying body for Russian Freemasonry.(8) By this time the Craft was growing so fast that it attracted the vigilant eye of the government who found a willing informant in John Boeber. He was the leader of the Swedish system of Masonry which was then the dominating influence in Russian Masonry. This system was closely akin to the Rosicrucian movement and was dominated by the "higher degrees" which were strictly Christian in character.

By 1815 their innate differences lead to its dissolution and the forming of two Grand Lodges by August 30th. The Grand Lodge Astrea was the dominant body which initially confined its interest to the blue lodge degrees and freely admitted members with diverse backgrounds and interests. The second, the Swedish Provincial Grand Lodge, was strictly regulated and of less concern to the government. While the Grand Lodge Astrea had to submit a constitution to the government for approval to exist, it remained a concern to the authorities.

By 1820, when the Grand Lodge of Maine was formed, the Grand Lodge Astrea was composed of 24 lodges but there was no real strength to it. Lodge ritual work followed one of five offerings:

   1. Hamburg modification of the English ceremonial,
   2. Zinnendorf's rite,
   3. rectified Strict Observance rite,
   4. Swedish rite, and
   5. Fessler's modified English rite.

In his article, Telepneff did an analysis of the Astrea lodges and it is clear that its predominant character was German followed by Russian and Polish. Russian Freemasonry had lost its national character from the days of Yelaguin. No unifying ritual further weakened the Craft. It was but a house of cards awaiting a strong wind.

Over the years, Alexander had grown from a young forward-looking ruler to reactionary ruler over a suspicious government. Masonry no longer held a favored position. Russian Masonry met its betrayer in a strong conservative politician and a Mason from the old school, Egor A. Kushelev, Lieutenant-General and Senator. He was elected Deputy Grand Master of Grand Lodge Astrea in 1820 even though his ideal was the Swedish System. He found himself at the head of a body whose members held entirely opposite views from one another, both Masonically and socially. Some held dangerous political strivings and could become nests of the "Illuminati."

This was all too much for Kushelev who sought to restore the old rules and doctrines as he understood them even though they were opposed by his members. In 1821, he wrote to his Emperor suggesting that Russian Freemasonry be placed more strictly under the control of the government or that the Craft be permanently closed.

On August 1, 1822, without warning Alexander decreed the closing of all Masonic lodges and all secret societies in general. This struck as a thunderbolt and it was meekly complied with by the lodges. On August 10th, the last open meeting of Russian Masons was held. There were isolated cases of lodges continuing to meet in St. Petersburg and Moscow and even more so in the provinces, but Russian Freemasonry was broken.

The reign of Nicholas I, 1825-1855, was even more stringent than the closing years of his father's. On August 21, 1826, he confirmed a decree closing Masonic lodges. This brought about the abolition of the Craft although secret meetings are known to have continued until at least 1830.

Masonry returned to Russia in the first quarter of the 20th century. Unfortunately, these Masons were mostly involved in the political turmoil of the age as witnessed by the 1905 uprising against the government and the revolution of 1917 which toppled the last Romanov Tzar, Nicholas II.

Telepneff gives a very good synopsis of Russian Freemasonry in the first quarter of this century from information provided from the Russian Assistant Counsul-General in Paris in 1922. I quote for its succinctness:

    "At the beginning of 1906 about fifteen Russian, well-known for their social and political activities, mostly members of the constitutional-democratic party, joined French Lodges; some became members of the Grand Orient, but the majority entered two Lodges under the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite--"Kosmos" and "Mount-Sinai." On returning to Russian, they formed two provisional Lodges, "The Polar Star" in Petersburg and "Regeneration" in Moscow. In May, 1908, both Lodges were solemnly opened by two members of the High Council of the Grand Orient, specially sent for that purpose from Paris. At the same time the Grand Lodge of France established two Lodges" one in Petersburg ("Phoenix") and one in Moscow. Russian Lodges obtained the right to establish further Lodges without interference from Paris, and accordingly in 1908 and 1909 two more Lodges were opened: "The Iron Ring" in Nijni-Novgorod and one in Kiev. The existence of Masonic Lodges was discovered by the Russian Government in 1909; it also became known to the authorities that they were of French origin. It was then decided by the Russian Lodges to suspend work, and this was accordingly done till 1911, when some of their members decided to renew with due prudence their activities. One would not call these activities Masonic in any sense, as their chief aim was purely political--the abolishment of autocracy, and a democratic regime in Russia; they acknowledged allegiance to the Grand Orient of France. This political organization comprised in 1913-1914 about forty `Lodges.' In 1915-1916 disagreements arose between their members who belonged to two political parties (the constitutional democrats and the progressives) and could not agree on a common policy; ten Lodges became dormant. The remaining thirty Lodges continued to work, and took part in the organization of the 1917 March revolution and in the establishment of the Provisional Government. Their political aim being attained, the organization began to decay; twenty-eight Lodges existed on the eve of the Bolshevik revolution, and since then most of their members have left Russia."(9)

Writing in the fall of 1922, Telepneff reported that two Russian Lodges had been formed in Paris under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of France while a Russian lodge existed in Berlin, The Northern Star Lodge, under a warrant of the Grand Lodge of the Three Globes.

Futile attempts to reestablish Russian Freemasonry met with the mandate of the 4th Congress of the Communist International in Moscow which required all Communist Masons to sever their lodge membership. They could not be considered for important posts in the new reign until two years after their severance. In 1925 Telepneff wrote that "regular Masonic activities of every description have ceased in Russia proper, due to the severe restrictions imposed by Bolshevist authorities."(10)

Simon Greenleaf, the second Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Maine, 1822-1824, compiled a book entitled A Brief Summary into the Origin and Principles of Free Masonry from a series of lectures he gave while he was the District Deputy Grand Master for the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts in the District of Maine. He wrote, as regards the character of Masonry,

    "Yet still, the fraternity, bound together by the most solemn obligations, and these strengthened by the remembrance of the common danger to which they had recently been exposed, continued to assemble, at the customary periods, for purposes of charity and brotherly love. Masonry contained something too excellent and attractive, and its secrets were too curious and valuable, to be abandoned on light grounds. It was a strong bond of union. It possessed a key which unlocked the middle chamber of the heart. Its secrets always served as letters of recommendation, and to the present day have continued to entitle their possessor to the benefits of hospitality and protection. At various periods it has declined, and sometimes has suffered severe oppression. Despotic governments have always been afraid of secret assemblies; and all the governments of Europe have, in their turn, been despotic, and have enacted laws against such associations. But by persecution, Masonry has never been suppressed; on the contrary its foundations have been strengthened. Even in times of war and anarchy its benign principles have continued their salutary operation on society, and the order still flourishes with increasing reputation."(11)

The persecution of Russian Freemasonry has been long and hard but like the Phoenix, the Craft is rising again. With the collapse of communism and with the greater opportunity of Russians to travel abroad, some have been exposed to and have embraced Freemasonry. What an affirmation these brethren bring to the observations of M.W. Bro. Greenleaf. What an obligation rests on us to aid their endeavors.

This writer has been advised in a letter of April 22, 1996 of the following by George Dergachev, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Russia. On January 14, 1992, the first regular Lodge "Harmony" was constituted in Moscow by the Grand Lodge National Francaise. This lodge now has 41 members.

September 8, 1993 will be a memorable day in Russian Freemasonry for three more lodges were constituted by the Grand Lodge National Franchise; Lotus No. 2 in Moscow with 36 current members; New Astrea No. 3 in St. Petersburg with 19 current members; and Gamaioun No. 4 in Voronezh with 13 current members. Voronezh is a city lying south southeast of Moscow on the Voronezh River shortly before its joining with the River Don.

M. W. Bro. Dergachev writes "Most of the Brothers have graduated from the Universities. Among then there are scientists, journalists, businessmen, bankers, officers of the Army, Navy, policemen, engineers, writers, producers and lawyers."

These four Regular Daughter Lodges of the Grand Lodge Nationale Francaise formed the Grand Lodge of Russian on June 24, 1995. In addition to their Mother Grand Lodge, they have been recognized by the Grand Lodges of Poland, Hungary and New York. The Grand Master and Bro. Vladimir Djanguirian, his Grand Secretary, attended by invitation the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New York this past May.

While this paper has only quickly hit upon some of the high points in the history of Russian Freemasonry as provided by Bro. Telepneff, it is hoped that it will make us realize that the Craft has a long history in Russia. May we realize how it has suffered at the hands of autocratic and totalitarian leaders. May we be moved to seek to help our Brothers prevail in their endeavors to advance Freemasonry in Russia at this time.

The dawn of a new history is breaking in Russian Freemasonry, may its light never again falter, may it glow eternally.
So mote it be!
So say we all for charity.

"The city that Peter I had built was named by him Sanct Peterburg in honor of the saint after whom he was named. It was only during the war with Germany that the German sounding name of Sanct Peterburg was changed in 1914 to the purely Russian name of Petrograd (not a German name) reflecting the animosity towards the enemy. In 1924 the city was renamed Leningrad by the Communists in honor of their revolutionary dictator."

MASONIC SECRET SOCIETIES ARE CONTROLLED BY JEWRY

IN THE days before Britain's security services were thoroughly penetrated by Communists, liberal internationalists and members of the Rothschild family, the historian Nesta Webster was often invited to give lectures to members of the Secret Service on the origins of world unrest and subversion. She traced the origins of the network of the Communist international subversion to their Jewish sources. She was familiar with much of the research material which we have published in our earlier chapter entitled 'Communism is Jewish'. Through her researches she was able to link the intellectual origins and techniques of subversion employed by the Communist International with the world of Masonic Secret Societies.
      Indeed, she was able to show that both movements, at heart, were Jewish in inspiration and key personnel. When the core objectives of each movement are considered together with their Jewish intellectual inspiration it can be seen that they are essentially the same movement: a movement of Jewish revolt against Christian European Civilisation.
      Nesta Webster was quite frank about the Jewish connection. She declared that another secret society existed within Freemasonry "for which the visible organisation of the latter serves merely as a cover". She identified the hidden controlling group within Freemasonry as "The Jewish Power".
      The Protocols of Zion state: "It is this which has served as the basis for our organisation of secret masonry which is not known to, and aims which are not even so much as suspected by, these Goy cattle, attracted by us into the 'Show' army of Masonic Lodges in order to throw dust into the eyes of their fellows" ... "Masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects".
      The Protocols speak with scathing contempt for Masons; they are simply the stupid "Goy cattle" in complete ignorance of its real aims and who exactly forms the controlling hierarchy. Freemasons are gullible pawns and dupes who have been enlisted in the service of International Jewry to further their secret aims and objectives. As demonstrated in this booklet, foremost is Satanic World Government and the destruction of all Gentile races and nations, and particularly the destruction of White European races and nations. Put succinctly, Freemasons are busily engaged in working for their own destruction.
      According to some estimates, one in fifty British males is a Freemason. Many prominent people in politics, the civil service, the judiciary, financial institutions, education, etc., are Masons. The police service throughout the United Kingdom is especially noted for being dominated by Masonry.
      Writing of the "Judeo-Masonic" control behind the drive towards World Government, Admiral Sir Barry Domville stated in From Admiral to Cabin Boy: It is a tragedy that the British people have been so ill-informed on this crucial matter and so careless in the way that they have been governed, as to permit this secret Junta to gain control over their affairs. The Jews form only a small minority in each country and would be unable to ensure the execution of their policy unless they could obtain the collaboration of persons in the government service. Obviously this could not be done openly, or the whole plan would be exposed and exploded. They must therefore build up some secret organisation and what could be better than the one already in hand [Masonry] in which Jews figure so prominently. That is the simple explanation, and it only became necessary to try and establish chosen men in key positions in the government offices, and in organisations like the police, to put the machine in working order".

PLANNED CHAOS
Commander Guy Carr—a life-long student of secret societies—was convinced that Freemasonry was controlled "at the top" by a Masonic sect known as The Illuminati. In his book Pawns in the Game he revealed that The Illuminati is an élite secret society founded by a Jew, Professor Adam Weishaupt, in 1776. The name of the sect is a reference to the Devil—"Lucifer, the angel of light" to Satanists. The Illuminati devised a plan to destroy Western Civilisation and literally to implement the programme of Satan on Earth in opposition to God. It never worked for immediate success, all its plans were long-term. Founder members included a number of Jewish bankers: Itzig, Friedlander and Meyer Amshel, founder of the Rothschild dynasty. Commander Guy Carr believed that The Illuminati has been behind all the troubles, misery and carnage of the past two centuries, including all the revolutions, wars and depressions and is, today, the driving power behind the mixing of races.
      In a remarkable work published by John Robison, M.A., in 1789 entitled Proofs Of A Conspiracy Against All Religions And Governments Of Europe is the following statement by the Abbé Baruel concerning The Illuminati: "In the desires of a terrible and formidable sect, you have only reached the first stages of the plans it has formed for that general revolution which is to overthrow all thrones, all altars, annihilate all property, efface all laws and end up by dissolving all society".
      The Protocols contain the outline or draft of the plan of action to destroy Christian civilisation and establish a One World Dictatorship controlled by Jews. The principles and policies of The Protocols are not new. The same morality of "limitless ambitions, burning greediness, merciless vengeance, hatreds and malice" is to be found in The Talmud. This is the motivation which has driven Jews throughout the centuries.
      In 1492, Chemor, Chief Rabbi of Spain, wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin in Constantinople for advice when the expulsion of Jews from Spain was pending. The reply of the Sanhedrin is to be found in the 16th century book La Silva Curiosa by Julio Iniguez de Medrano. A photostat copy of the original and a translation are to be found in the edition of The Protocols published in the United States by The Sons of Liberty. The text of the reply is as follows:

"BELOVED BRETHREN OF MOSES...
"Beloved Brethren in Moses:
      We have received your letter in which you tell us of your anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by a great pain to hear it as yourselves.
      The advice of the Grand Satraps and Rabbis is the following:
1. As for what you say that the King of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise.
2. As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs.
3. As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christians' lives.
4. As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches.
5. As for the many other vexations you complain of arrange for your sons to become advocates and lawyers and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them.
6. Do not swerve from this order we give you, because you will find by experience that humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power. [Signed] The Prince of the Jews of Constantinople."

 
DELIBERATELY CONTRIVED WARS
LONG ago, Clausewitz, a student of war and exponent of military tactics, wrote: "Modern wars are the pursuit of policy by other means, that is to say that wars are prime fights between the populations of 'A' and 'B' for the benefit of 'C'."
      In 1905, Lenin [Ulyanov] wrote in The Two Tactics of Social Democracy: "Ally yourselves with one of your enemies against another, and destroy them one by one." This has always been the policy of Jews.
      George Knupffer wrote: "It is not difficult to see that precisely this technique is being used by the Soviets also in international relations. It is in this light that we must see the Red alliance with the Nazis and then the West in the Second World War."
      In 1952 Rabbi Rabinovitch addressed a conference of European Rabbis in Bucharest behind closed doors—but his speech was leaked:
      "... Our increasing numbers in certain vital areas is arousing opposition to us, and we must now work with every means at our disposal to precipitate World War Three.. the Third World War will surpass in destruction all previous contests. Israel, of course, will remain neutral, and when both sides are devastated and exhausted we will arbitrate, sending our Control Commissions into all the wrecked countries. This war will end for all time our struggle against the Gentiles"
      The full text of this speech was published in the periodical Canadian Intelligence Service in September 1952, and at about the same time in the American publication Common Sense.
      In Le Contemporair, July 1st 1860, Rabbi Reichorn wrote: "We shall drive the Christians into wars by exploiting their national vanity and stupidity. They will then massacre each other, thus giving place to our people".
      Colonel A.H. Lane wrote in his privately-published [1938] book The Hidden Hand: "In order to bring about Jewish World Domination it is necessary from time to time to engender wars so that the most virile and patriotic men are killed or crippled physically or mentally".
      Clemanceau, French leader during the First World War, arrived at exactly the same conclusion. In a little book entitled A Pied Sinai he wrote: "The Semitic race has a programme for the extermination of other races and the peopling of the whole earth with their own blood. Their zeal for this cause is such that in comparison with this, nothing else matters at all. To this cause no sacrifice is too great, no suffering too terrible".
      Kurt Kerlen, a spokesman for General Ludendorff, commander of the German Army in the First World War, wrote of "the skill" by which Jewry is able to divide white nations so that they cut each others' throats for Jewry's gain. (He was quoted in Nesta Webster's book Boche and Bolshevik).
      In his book The Hidden Tyranny Benjamin Freedman claimed that the Jews prevented the First World War from ending in 1916 when a German peace offer was on the table at the British War Cabinet and needed only one signature to end the carnage: "Great Britain would have quickly accepted Germany's October 1916 peace offer if the World Zionist Organisation had not interfered. The British War Cabinet was then taking their instructions from Talmudist Jews in London".
      Numerous Jewish sources have admitted that they were behind the two World Wars. The Jewish World of London, dated 16th January 1919 declared: "International Judaism forced Europe into war, not only to seize a large part of the gold (paid out in armaments and their seizing of the gold bullion in Russia), but to start a new 'Jewish World' with the help of this gold".
      A prominent London Jew, Dr. Oscar Levy, wrote: "We Jews, who have posed as Saviours of the World, are today nothing but the World's seducers, its destroyers, its incendiaries, its executioners". Dr. Levy wrote the preface to a book by George Pitt-Rivers (1920) entitled The World Significance of the Russian Revolution.
      Henry Ford wrote in his book The International Jew: "I studied the causes of war and I am convinced that nearly all wars were caused so that someone would profit, and those who profited and those who are profiting now are the international financiers, the Jews. ... Two very prominent Jews began telling me about the power of the Jewish race, how they controlled the world through gold, and that the Jew and no-one but the Jew could stop the war. [WW1] They went into details to tell me the means by which the Jews controlled the war... how they had the money, how they cornered all the basic materials needed to fight the war and all that, and they talked so long and so well that they convinced me. They said that the Jews had started the war and would continue it as long as they wished, and until they stopped the war it would not be stopped. ... Gather together the fifty most wealthy Jewish financiers, the men who create wars for their own profit, control them, and you will put an end to it all."
      The fratricidal wars of this century, coloured immigration, the erosion standards and values, the promotion of perversion and degeneracy in all its forms, the corruption and debasement of music, art and literature is all part of the same programme: The annihilation of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic people of Britain, the incorporation of the British nation into a One World Government controlled by the very people behind all the mischief and carnage of the 20th century.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust.

QuoteThe Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor
H.P. Blavatsky

H.P. Blavatsky

Afghani would have purportedly been a representative of a mysterious Egyptian quasi-Masonic secret society, which supposedly represented a survival of the Sabian teachings of the Grand Lodge of the Ismailis of Cairo, which became known among Western occultists as the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor (H.B. of L.), also thought to have had originally been the influence behind the creation of Samuel Honis' Rite of Mizraim.

One of Afghani's closest associates was James Sanua. Sanua was born in Cairo to a well-connected Italian Jewish family of Sephardic origin. Sanua was raised as a Jew by his father, who had been born in Italy, and went on to become a valued advisor to the Egyptian royal family. In addition to his Jewish upbringing, and fluency in eight languages, Sanua became so well-versed in the Koran and Islamic lore that he earned himself the title "sheikh", a factor which led to rumors of his conversion to Islam.

As a youngster, Sanua had studied in Italy, where he was introduced to the ideas of Giuseppe Mazzini. When he returned to Cairo, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the teachings of Mazzini. Sanua was also responsible for establishing the foundation of the modern Egyptian theater, a forerunner to its well-known film industry. However, his plays became suspect in the eyes of the Egyptian authorities. And, when he learned of a plot to poison him, he fled to France, where he preferred to be known as Abu Naddara. In Paris, Sanua founded a journal dedicated to the principle, much like that of the Bahai, of a one-world-religion, often featuring articles by Afghani.

Sanua's girlfriend Lydia Pashkov, was a woman of Russian origin and correspondent for Le Figaro in Paris. Through their circles, Afghani became friendly with the directors of the Illuminati regional headquarters in southern Lebanon, like Sheik Medjuel el-Mezrab, who married British dilettante, Jane Digby, and Lydia Pashkov. Between 1870 and 1875, the Illuminati apparently began a project to replicate the Italian Carbonari in all the countries of the Middle East.[19]

Both Sanua and Lydia Pashkov were also friends and traveling companions of Helena P. Blavatksy, who in 1856, Mazzini had initiated into the Carbonari. Helena P. Blavatsky, the famous medium and mystic, was the godmother of the occult revival of the late nineteenth century. After writing monumental works such as Isis Unveiled, and The Secret Doctrine, the Theosophical Society was formed in 1875, to spread her teachings worldwide. The Theosophical Society had Freemasons Henry Steel Olcott and George H. Felt appointed president and vice-president respectfully. Among the early members was also Albert Pike. According to Manly P. Hall, a leading Masonic historian:

    The Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled are Madame Blavatsky's gifts to humanity, and to those whose vision can pierce the menacing clouds of imminent disaster it is no exaggeration to affirm that these writings are the most vital literary contribution to the modern world. No more can they be compared with other books than can the light of the sun be compared with the lamp of the glowworm. The Secret Doctrine assumes the dignity of a scripture.[20]

Blavatsky claimed to receive her revelations from "Secret Chiefs", or disembodied "Ascended Masters", who were aiding humanity to evolve into a race of supermen. At first, Blavatsky attributed names to these Masters, like "Tuitit Bey", "Serapis Bey", and "Hilarion", who purportedly belonged to the "Brotherhood of Luxor". According to Joscelyn Godwin, in The Theosophical Enlightenment, if we interpret the "Brotherhood of Luxor" to be the coterie of occultists with which Blavatsky was associated in Egypt, then we ought to assume Jamal ad-Din al Afghani to have been one of its members.[21]

Although there is no direct evidence of Blavatsky having met with Afghani, according to K. Paul Johnson, in The Masters Revealed, circumstances would suggest such contact. Not only was Afghani familiar with her associates Sanua and Pashkov, but he and Blavatsky were both in India in 1857 and 1858, both in Tbilisi in the mid-sixties, and both in Cairo in 1871. Again, Afghani left Egypt for India in late 1879, the same year that Blavatsky and Olcott arrived there. After leaving India in late 1882, he resided in Paris throughout 1884, the year in which Blavatsky spent the summer there.

Through Jamal ud Din al Afghani, Blavatsky acquired her central doctrines, derived from Ismailism, which she would then communicate the Western occult community. As Johnson points out, in Blavatsky's article, The Eastern Gupta Vidy and the Kabbalah, she claims the "real Kabbalah" is to be found in the Chaldean Book of Numbers. Although it is unknown to scholars, Blavatsky cites this book frequently in her tomes, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine. She claims to have received it from a "Persian Sufi", and as K. Paul Johnson points out, Afghani is its most likely source.

According to Johnson, a fundamental structure in Blavatsky's doctrines can only be attributed to one source, which is also related to the ideas of another occultist, Gurdjieff: Ismaili Gnosticism. The Chaldean Book of Numbers teaches a sevenfold cosmology similar to the eclectic Ismaili mysticism. "The centrality of the number seven", notes Johnson:

    ...is a major clue which points to Ismaili gnosis as an important source for both Blavatsky and Gurdjieff. Henri Corbin's Cyclical Time and Ismaili Gnosis describes the doctrine of a sevenfold cosmic evolutionary process, repeated in a sevenfold historical scheme, paralleled by a sevenfold initiatory path for the individual adept. This corresponds exactly to the Mahatma letters [of Blavatsky] teaching that "the degrees of an Adept's initiation mark the seven stages at which he discovers the secret of the sevenfold principles in nature and man and awakens his dormant powers." The doctrine of the Resurrection acquires a specific meaning in Ismaili gnosis which relates it to Blavatsky's teachings. Each of the seven principles of the individual is "resurrected" by the influence of the next higher principle. HPB's sevenfold breakdown of human principles was presented variously as Chaldean, Tibetan, and Chaldeo-Tibetan. But in fact its closest historical analogue is Ismaili.[22]

John Yarker

John Yarker

Blavatsky's teachings also influenced the establishment of a prominent secret society known as the Golden Dawn, which would emerge out of Afghani's contacts with the leaders of Egyptian Rite Freemasonry. Having gone underground for some time, until 1848, the "Year of Revolutions", the Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry then revived its activity in Paris, and by 1856 had also established itself in Egypt, America, Romania, and other countries. In 1872, when the Egyptian Rite came to be known as the Antient and Primitive Rite, the Grand Mastership of the order was assumed by John Yarker, having been handed to him by Marconis de Negre. Yarker was also familiar with Blavatsky, having met her in England in 1878, and appears to have conferred on her a Masonic initiation, though there have been attempts to refute her involvement in Freemasonry.

In Paris, Yarker met Pascal Beverly Randolph, an African-American occultist who had traveled to Egypt, where he was supposedly initiated by a secret priestess of the Ismaili Muslims. Paschal Randolph was a noted medium, healer, occultist and author of his day, and also counted among his personal friends Bulwer-Lytton. Randolph's Brotherhood of Eulis claimed descent from the Rosicrucian Order, by charter of the "Supreme Grand Lodge of France", and taught spiritual healing, western occultism and principals of race regeneration through forms of sex magic. Through Randolph, Yarker passed on the tradition of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, that was reborn as the Hermitic Brotherhood of Light, a continuation of the Frates Lucis, or Asiatic Brethren.
Max Theon

Max Theon

In 1873, Carl Kellner, an associate of Randolph, was another of the many occultists associated with Egyptian Freemasonry, who had traveled to Cairo in the time of al Afghani's activity. There he met, for the first time, a mysterious young man, then going by the name of Aia Aziz, also known as Max Theo. Actually, this Max Theon was the son of the last leader of the Frankist sect, Rabbi Bimstein of Warsaw, Poland.

Max Theon traveled widely, and in Cairo worked with Blavatsky, and also became a student of Paulos Metamon, a "Coptic magician". Paulos Metamon was also Blavatsky's first "Master", whom she had met in Asia Minor in 1848, and again in Cairo in 1870, and it was he who introduced her to the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light. Interestingly, the sevenfold cosmology of Ismailism was common to both Theon and Blavatsky. In 1873, Metamon passed the Grand Mastership to Aziz, who, adopting the name of Max Theon, moved to England to propagate the same order.

It was Carl Kellner and Thoedore Reuss, another member of Bulwer-Lyttons' Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, who would put together the ritual of Egyptian Rite Freemasonry, chartered to Reuss by John Yarker, to convey the inner secret of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor. Regarding Kellner, Reuss wrote:

    In the course of his many and extensive travels in Europe, America and the Near East, Bro. Kellner came into contact with an organisation which called itself The Hermetic Brotherhood of Light. The stimulus which he received through his association with this body, as well as other circumstances which cannot be mentioned here, gave rise to Bro. Kellner's wish to found a sort of Academia Masonica which would make it possible for questing brethren to become acquainted with all the existing Masonic degrees and systems. In the year 1895 Bro. Kellner had long discussions with Bro. Reuss in Berlin about how this idea of his could be realised. In the course of talks with Bro. Reuss he abandoned the proposed title Academia Masonica and produced reasons and documents for the adoption of the name Oriental Templars. At that time in 1895 these deliberations did not lead to any positive result because Bro. Reuss was then busy with his revived Order of the Illuminati and Bro. Kellner had no sympathy for this organisation or for the people who were active in it with Bro. Kellner.[23]

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley

It was John Yarker who supposedly provided a charter for the founding of the Ordo Templi Orientis, or O.T.O., effected by Reuss, which attempted to revive the traditions of the Ancient Mysteries, the Knights Templars, the FreemasonsRosicruciansand the Illuminati. Ordo Templi Orientis meant "Order of Eastern Templars", in reference to the Johannite myth of Sabian or Ismaili influence. The occult inner circle of the O.T.O. would be organized parallel to the highest degrees of Egyptian Rite Masonry, and the esoteric Rosicrucian doctrines of the H.B. of L.

Reuss was succeeded as head of the O.T.O. by the notorious Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowleya thirty-third degree Mason of the Scottish Rite, had also been a member of the Isis-Urania Temple of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. Known simply as The Golden Dawn, the order was founded in 1888, by Masons and members of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia of Bulwer-Lytton. This Isis Cult was organized around the 1877 manuscript Isis Unveiled by Helena Blavatsky. The Order of the Golden Dawn included, among others, William Butler Yeats, Maude Gonne, wife of Oscar Wilde, and Arthur Edward Waite. The Golden Dawn was led at the time by McGreggor Mathers, who traced the spiritual ancestry of the order to the Rosicrucians, and from there, through to the Kabbalah and to Ancient Egypt. And, it was while in Egypt, in 1904, that Crowley made contact with an entity by the name of Aiwass, which dictated to him the content of his Book of the Law, containing the famous dictum of modern occultism, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
The Salafi
Mohammed Abduh

Mohammed Abduh

After Afghani's departure from Egypt, his pupil, Mohammed Abduh, was inexplicably named the chief editor of the official British-controlled publication of the Egyptian government, the Journal Officiel. Working under him was fellow-Freemason, Saad Zaghul, later to be founder of the Wafd nationalist party. In 1883, Abduh joined Afghani in Paris, and then went to London, where he lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, and consulted with British officials about the crisis in Sudan against the Mahdi.

In Paris and London, Abduh assisted Afghani in administering both a French-language and Arabic journal in Paris, called Al Urwah al Wuthkah, or the "Indissoluble Bond", also the name of a secret organization he founded in 1883. Among the members of Afghani's circle in Paris were Egyptians, Indians, Turks, Syrians, North Africans, as well as many Christians and Jews, and Persian Bahais expelled from the Middle East.

When the French suppressed the Al-Murwah al-Wuthkah, Abduh traveled for several years, throughout the Arab world, under various disguises, particularly to Tunis, Beiruk, and Syria. In each city, he would recruit members into the secret society of Afghani's fundamentalism.[24]

Like his teacher, Abduh was associated with the Bahai movement, which had made deliberate efforts to spread the faith to Egypt. Bahais began establishing themselves in Alexandria and Cairo beginning in the late 1860. Abduh had met Abdul Baha when he was teaching in Beirut, and the two struck up a very warm friendship, and agreed with his one-world-religion philosophy.[25] Remarking on Abdul Baha's excellence in religious science and diplomacy, Abduh said of him that, "[he] is more than that. Indeed, he is a great man; he is the man who deserves to have the epithet applied to him."[26]

Abduh was known for his reformist views about Islam. But, in How We Defended Orabi, A.M. Broadbent declared that, "Sheikh Abdu was no dangerous fanatic or religious enthusiast, for he belonged to the broadest school of Moslem thought, held a political creed akin to pure republicanism, and was a zealous Master of a Masonic Lodge."[27] Like the Ismailis before him, he would advance his students progressively into deeper levels of heresy. To the higher initiates, he would reveal the doctrines of the Scottish Rite and the philosophy of one-world government. However, for those Abduh deemed were much more disposed, he would introduce to an officer of British intelligence from London.[28]
Rashid Rida

Rashid Rida

From 1888, until his death in 1905, Abduh regularly visited the home and office of Lord Cromer. In 1892, he was named to run the administrative Committee for the Al Azhar mosque and university, the most prestigious educational institution in Islam, and the oldest university in the world. From that post, he reorganized the entire Muslim system in Egypt, and because of Al Azhar's reputation, much of the Islamic world as well.

In 1899, Lord Cromer, made Abduh the Grand Mufti of Egypt. He was now the chief legal authority in Islam, as well as the Masonic Grand Master of the United Lodge of Egypt. Lord Cromer was an important member of England's Baring banking family, that had grown rich off of the opium trade in India and China. His motive in making Abduh the most powerful figure in all of Islam was to change the law forbidding interest banking. Abduh then offered a contrived interpretation of the Koran, to create the requisite loophole, giving British banks free reign in Egypt. Of Abduh, Lord Cromer related, "I suspect my friend Abduh was in reality an agnostic," and he said of Abduh's Salafi reform movement that, "They are the natural allies of the European reformer."[29]

The Salafi movement then became allied with the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, through another Freemason, Mohammed Rashid Rida, who, after the death of Afghani in 1897, and Abduh in 1905, assumed the leadership of the Salafis Rida had become a member of the Indissoluble Bond at a young age. He was promoted through Afghani's Masonic society through his reading of Al-Urwah al Wuthkah, which he later confessed was the greatest influence in his life. Rida had never met Afghani, but in 1897, he had gone to Egypt to study with Mohammed Abduh. Though Rida did not share his master's opinions about the Bahai movement, it was through his influence that the Salafi movement became firmly aligned with the State of Saudi Arabia.

Worth a look in regards to this lost-rediscovered "dying-god" tradition:

http://www.mikamar.biz/godstar.htm
QuoteAbout God Star

God Star: If you are uncomfortable with the equally implausible literal creationist or the modern mythology version of what happened in the ancient times, then these 518 pages will show you that the sky earlier man remembers was entirely different from the one that now stretches above us.

This is firmly supported through ancient texts, artwork, and symbology from all over the world which deal with the astronomical lore of our forebears. As if with a single voice, these sources proclaim that the present planet we know as Saturn once shone as an earlier sun in Earth's primordial sky.

This claim receives credence through the fact that astronomers now view the planet Saturn as the remnant of what had once been a brown dwarf star. It also goes a long way in explaining why Saturn was considered the "ruler of the planets", and why the god of that planet is found at the head of every ancient pantheon on earth. Ra, Brahma, Kronos, Moloch, and Shamash are some of the more familiar names for the supreme god Saturn. It also explains a plethora of perplexing other information including why the original name for Rome was Saturnia, and why Italy was called the land of Saturn.

Astronomically, it is then deduced that Earth used to be the satellite of this proto-Saturnian sun. It is further deduced that this mini-system invaded the present Solar System causing the "great catastrophe", and that this transpired during the age of man.

As incongruous with prevailing thinking as this scenario appears, it is lent further credibility by the hard sciences through the unmistakable signs encountered here on Earth and also by what is constantly being discovered out in space. In fact, the likelihood that such an interloping planetary system might have been captured by the Sun is even now acknowledged by a new class of trailblazing astronomers.

Thus, apart from the mytho-historical record, the theory presented within this book includes evidence from geology, paleontology, astrophysics, and plasma cosmology. It also serves to elucidate various dilemmas that presently encumber these and other disciplines.

What might be seen by some as of greater importance, the reconstruction of the primeval events that took place beneath the proto-Saturnian sun goes a long way in disclosing the origins of religion, including the very concept of deity.

While, for the sake of scholarship, the book includes the odd technical tract, it is nevertheless written in a manner that will be readily understood by the intelligent layperson. In fact, it almost reads like a detective novel.

Review Remarks

"Once I had GOD STAR in my hands I could scarcely put it down. This is the most complete and articulate book on the topic I have read. It is a complete history... of the nature of an intense plasma occurrence in the Solar System as it once was at a time when mankind was present to record it ... GOD STAR delineates mythology from fable, setting the former as a true field of scientific enquiry. From GOD STAR springs forth topic after topic on the physical conditions and processes our planet has undergone ... "

The Road to Saturn
(Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay)

Author Dwardu Cardona

QuoteOne of the first things I unearthed was that the idea of cosmic catastrophism did not originate with Velikovsky. Granted that he might not have been aware of his precursors when he first embarked on his work, Velikovsky himself soon realized it and, despite the accusations of his detractors, did not hide the fact. Without taking into account what the ancients and present primitive peoples have had to say about the subject, free thinkers have been writing on cosmic catastrophism since the 17th century. Among the best known have been William Whiston, theologian, mathematician, and deputy at Cambridge to Sir Isaac Newton; Ignatius Donnelly, member of congress, reformer, and politician extaordinaire: Hans Hoerbiger and Philipp Fauth, the one a self-styled cosmologist, the other a renowned selenologist, who collaborated amid an "ill-tempered battle of books" during the rise of the Nazi regime; and Hans Schindler Bellamy, a British student of mythology who became Hoerbiger's disciple in the English-speaking world. There were a few others and while their hypotheses, long since relegated to the dust bins of history, varied from one another, they had one thing in common: They all emphasized a dissatisfaction with the then- prevailing views concerning the nature of the solar system and its formation, to say nothing about its later history.

On the mythological front, it was not long before I had to accept that the deities of the ancient nations originated as personifications of cosmic bodies, prime among which were the very planets of the solar system. It did not take Velikovsky, or any of his precursors, to convince me of this. The ancients, who were in the best position to know what they themselves believed in, so stated in many of their texts. It therefore struck me as strange that most modern mythologists would go to such great pains in attempting to explain mythological characters and themes in anything but cosmic terms. In this respect, whatever else may be said of him, Velikovsky proved superior. Not that he was always correct when identifying specific deities with specific planets but, had he dug deeper in a field which I now know to have been novel to him, he would have discovered that, in many instances, the ancients themselves had already supplied the identities of their gods. Where they did not, the rules of comparative mythology unerringly lead the way. But that is something that only crept slowly on me as my research continued to unfold.

After reading Velikovsky I should not have been surprised at the sheer amount of mythological tales which hinted at, referred to, and sometimes explicitly described catastrophic events. These appeared of such magnitude that, were they to be believed, they could only be explained by the shaking of the Earth's framework. Predominant among these disasters was the universal deluge, which the Biblical account associates with Noah. Moreover, the cosmic thread that ran through the ages was intertwined with these disasters so that it did not take long to realize that Velikovsky had been right when he insisted that catastrophism was literally heaven-caused.

What became more and more obvious was that the celestial order with which ancient man was so obsessed was entirely different from the one we are presently acquainted with. Ancient man described the Sun as rising in the west, setting in the east, stopping in mid-course, and turning right around. According to ancient texts, the planets seem to have occupied different positions in the sky; they moved in different orbits and, in all cases, looked entirely different from the way they do now. Prime among these examples was the planet Venus which, very much as Velikovsky had claimed, was described as having had the form of a comet which followed a changing orbit entirely different from the one it follows at present.

As everyone knows, the planets, like the stars, appear to the naked eye as nothing more than pin-points of light in the night sky. Yet ancient traditions seem to leave no doubt that these same planets, often described and even depicted as spheres and/or discs, were viewed at close quarters and often in terrifying circumstances. Thus most of mythology turns out to be a reflection of cosmic disorders which ancient man seems to have witnessed and survived. In this generality, if in nothing else, Velikovsky was entirely correct.

V

Between 1961 and '62, while still in Montreal, I embarked upon an epic work of fiction, my second to date, the first having been penned at the age of fifteen. When I moved to Toronto it was partly in the hope of getting it published there. Titled Once the Favorite of the Gods, this work was woven around the impending disaster of the universal deluge and its final culmination. At that time I erroneously believed I knew enough about this catastrophe even though I had not yet ascertained which of the planets had been responsible for it. The deluge is there ascribed to the Earth's passage through the watery tail of an errant cometary body. While the human drama I portrayed was derived entirely from imagination, the cosmic scenario followed an adapted version of the one proposed in 1696 by William Whiston in his New Theory of the Earth.

Once the Favorite of the Gods had its ups and downs at the hands of various agents and prospective publishers and, although it was finally accepted by Concept Productions under an option, in the end it was never published.

At the risk of being labelled a reaper of sour grapes, I was eventually glad the book never saw the light of day. While I am still more than happy with its human drama, I had committed two major blunders: I presented Noah as a human protagonist, albeit as a shadowy background figure and quite differently from the manner in which Biblical proponents are wont to present him; and I described the cosmic events in terms which, I was soon to learn, did not reflect the traditional sources correctly. Even though it was only a work of fiction, I would have been thoroughly embarrassed by these errors.

It was while waiting for the outcome of my book that I decided to collate my research on catastrophism and the Velikovsky phenomenon into a coherent set of loose-leaf volumes with a cross-indexed file to accommodate the referential notes I had been gathering. Many times abandoned and re-commenced, this work continues to this day.

And so back to the libraries I went in order to ascertain what else our forebears could divulge about the deluge and, if possible, about earlier times. What I continued to discover amazed me, for, even before the deluge, it seems that cosmic catastrophism had been rampant, and today it is my belief that mankind owes its emergence as the unique race it has become to such disasters in the celestial sphere.

VI

Catastrophism betokens destruction, but our ancient forebears seem to have been just as obsessed with creation. Tales of creation are among the most abundant in the world's repository of mythology. Our ancestors not only described the creation of the world, they did so as if they had actually witnessed the occurence. There is no point in countering that such cosmogonical tales are the result of philosophical reasoning. It does not seem possible that primitive peoples, with whom it all started, and who were separated by vast mountain, desert and ocean stretches, would arrive at similar, and sometimes identical ideas in their philosophical quest for primal beginnings.

Predominant among such identical ideas, the recognition of which was to carry me far, was the shedding of a bright light, exactly as described in Genesis, at the very commencement of creation. Proponents of the diffusion theory might accuse me of gullibility, but my contention is that such ideas would be too unnatural to survive diffusion and the test of time had there not been some universal cause in the real world upon which they might have been based.

Had primitive reason required the abolishing of an imagined primal darkness by the shedding of light, logic would have chosen the Sun as the source of that sudden illumination. What would have been more logical than to have the creation of the Sun dissolve this fictional gloom? And yet in all cases where the light of creation is spoken of, the Sun was said to have been created later. This posed an enigma that took me long to resolve. When I finally did, it was again through Velikovsky.

VII

It was during my investigation of the myths of creation that I finally came face to face with Saturn. Actually I had been bumping into him from the beginning, but it was not until now that I saw this planetary deity as something more than a murky figure lurking behind some of the most engaging mythological motifs I had yet encountered. From then on every avenue that I followed brought me back into his shadow. As intrigued as I had been with the idea of cosmic catastrophism, this new turn of events piqued my interest even more and, in the end, there was no escaping the clutches of this most ancient mythological character. I trapped myself in the Saturnian maze and to this day I find myself still meandering within it, hoping to come to its end before my life does.

In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky had offered next to nothing about Saturn. He only hinted, somewhat teasingly, that, prior to the catastrophe of the Exodus, the Earth had suffered a more severe series of disasters, one of them being the deluge, at the hands of the giant gas planets. What I was not yet aware of was that, originally, Worlds in Collision had contained a long section on the tribulations caused by the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Prior to its publication, Velikovsky had been advised to drop this section of his work which he then shelved with the intention of expanding it into a future prequel. In a moment of desperation at the manner in which the scientific establishment had castigated him, Velikovsky once threatened to take this opus with him to the grave. But the moment passed and the work was preserved. Completed posthumously with the help of Jan Sammer, it now rests in the archives of unpublished manuscripts held in custody by the Velikovsky estate.

What I, on the other hand, was uncovering about Saturn was beginning to puzzle me to no end. Peeping from behind this and that datum, I kept coming across these strange allusions to Saturn as having once been an immobile planet. How could a planet, at close quarters or otherwise, have not appeared to move across the sky?

Other textual bits and pieces kept hinting at Saturn having once occupied a position in Earth's north celestial pole. As a pole star, Saturn's apparent immobility would be explained but there was nothing in celestial mechanics that would accommodate any planet in that role. To be quite frank, I had no idea what to do with this information other than to disbelieve it. I therefore decided to ignore all such allusions and put them down to misinterpretation by those early writers who had striven to record the beliefs of their more ancient forebears. I should have asked myself: Would all these misinterpreters have misinterpreted in the same way?

VIII

I do not remember who it was that first brought Hamlet's Mill to my attention or exactly when. In this work, published in 1969, Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend analyzed some of the most obscure motifs in all of mythology and came up with a cosmic interpretation. This was refreshing, to say the least. Even so, they hamstrung themselves by disallowing any conclusions that threatened to trespass uniformitarian precepts.

What these authors proposed was that ancient man derived his beliefs concerning the end of all things from the slow displacement of the pole star through the precession of the equinoxes over the millennia. Cosmic catastrophism was explained as the dissolution of an order brought about by this slow change in the celestial sphere. Creation consisted in the establishment of a new celestial order. In other words, an era ended every time the reigning pole star was displaced; the "selection" of a new pole star through precession was the beginning of a new world age. The universal deluge was perceived by these writers as having been a purely celestial occurrence which early man transcribed in earthly terms. So also with other deluges, with fire from heaven, world-encompassing hurricanes, and days of darkness. These early disasters, they claimed, were merely analogies of what actually transpired in the night sky with each passing pole star.
QuoteXXIII

Hard on the heels of "Saturn's Age," Talbott released a slightly longer paper titled "Saturn: Universal Monarch and Dying God." Offered as a special publication through the Research Communications Network, it consisted of a numbered thesis that included the outline of events connected with the polar configuration's dissolution that he had earlier mentioned.

To begin with, Talbott proposed a tentative date for the cosmic catastrophism associated with Saturn. Whereas Velikovsky had opted for a period between 5 and 10,000 years ago as the time slot within which the universal deluge had occurred, Talbott reduced the time span to "within the past 6 - 8,000 years." To date, neither of them has given as much as a hint concerning the evidence behind the selection of these dates.

Talbott described the bending of the axis mundi as the beginning of the Saturnian destruction. The bent pillar would have lent the configuration a hunch-backed appearance that was interpreted by the onlookers as a sign of the god's decrepitude. He said nothing about the mottled appearance of the central orb in this respect.

According to him it was at this point that the cosmic pillar commenced on a churning motion while the ringed structure began to move "in ever widening circles." He gave no indication, however, as to what might have caused this apparent motion.

Still according to Talbott, the deity was seen to devour the seven satellites orbiting around it and that these actually began to disintegrate. Saturn's disappearance was then explained as the clouding of the central orb by the ensuing debris.

The seven disintegrating satellites, in Talbott's view, continued to revolve around the clouded center while spewing their own detritus in a multi-spiralled manner. This spiral eventually segregated itself into the seven concentric bands of myth.

At some point during this destruction, according to Talbott's scheme, Jupiter finally appeared from behind Saturn, "stole" Saturn's encircling band, and then wandered away from the celestial center. Thus Talbott made it clear that the original ringed structure had actually surrounded the hidden Jupiter and that it was only Earth-bound perspective that had made it appear to encircle Saturn. This tenet was not very well explained. In more than one place, Talbott had made it appear that the enclosing band was formed from material ejected by the Saturnian orb. It is hard to conceive that material ejected by one celestial body would encircle another x-miles away. Or was this, according to Talbott, but another celestial illusion in which the primeval matter had actually been ejected by Jupiter? Was it Jupiter then that flared up?

In contradistinction, my scenario had Jupiter appearing from beyond Earth's horizon when the latter flipped over. Saturn and Jupiter were seen to change places. It was said that Saturn made his acquaintance with the southern constellations while the star of the south rose to occupy Saturn's vacated post. In my scheme the seven bands had actually surrounded the Saturnian orb, rather than merely appearing to do so, from long before the dissolution. These disappeared with Saturn when the luminary dropped out of sight. Jupiter was encircled by its own ringed system, which accounts for the apparent "theft." This mythological evidence could actually have been used to predict the later discovery of the Jovian rings. That no one did made us all miss the chance of a lifetime.

According to Talbott, it was this partial destruction of the Saturnian configuration that was later remembered as the universal deluge. Thus, along with de Santillana and von Dechend, but for different reasons, Talbott saw the deluge as a strictly, but perhaps not entirely, celestial event.

In Talbott's scheme, the resurrection of the deity is explained as the clearing of the obscuring debris which again brought the Saturnian orb into full view. Whether the Jovian planet ever returned to its position behind Saturn was not made clear. The second and final destruction, blamed on Mars, was described in terms closer to my scenario, as was the deity's final withdrawal to the "great beyond." Of the planet Venus there was not a single mention in either of Talbott's two papers.

The above mentioned points were not my only disagreements with Talbott's model, but they were the major ones. I mention all this here not because I was obviously right and Talbott wrong for that might not be the case at all, but merely to record our differences as they existed at the time. In the end it may turn out that he was closer to being correct than I was. But one thing was obvious: One of us, or perhaps even both, had confused some of the earlier events associated with the creation of Saturn's cosmos with those connected with its destruction. This brought home one particular lament of the ancients themselves who, among other things, had often stated that the sequence of events had long been forgotten. In any case, I have had many an occasion to change some of my views since then as, naturally enough, so has Talbott. And this is as it should be for we can best progress by constantly discarding, changing, and refining unsatisfactory portions of the theory in an endeavor to get ever closer to the historical truth.

Talbott and I did not correspond any further -- at least not for many years -- and we both went our separate ways.

Note the following may of only be of interest to the true believers of Dr. Judy Wood and those who think the Hurricane off the coast of NJ on 9/11 was used as a power source... but like BP's Macondo well, one mistake with that type of weapon and you will have "Worlds in Collision"...  
-----------
QuoteAEON: What about progress toward developing a physical model?

Talbott: There have been three key contributors -- and, interestingly, they are all Bobs: Bob Grubaugh, Bob Bass, and Bob Driscoll.

Bob Grubaugh is an engineer with many years of professional experience in orbital calculations. He looked at some interesting possibilities dynamically, and has proposed ways to support the concept of polar alignment.

Bob has suggested a collinear system of planets revolving around its own center of gravity synchronously with the system's movement around the Sun. One of the interesting possibilities being explored by Grubaugh is a planetary system revolving retrogradely as the system moves progradely around the Sun -- such that the line running through the participating planets continues to point to the same background star. In that case, no precession of the pole is necessary to maintain polar alignment. What I like about this innovative concept is that it potentially removes two objections to the "physically impossible" aspects of the configuration -- the sustained planetary conjunction and Earth's polar alignment -- in one stroke. But in its pristine, gravity-only form, the distance between planets (not to mention the implied climatic extremes) won't satisfy all of the data to be explained. So I'd like to see a consideration of certain variations in the basic scheme.

Robert Bass is a former professor of physics and astronomy and perhaps the most wide-ranging and brilliant fellow I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Over a period of several months, he looked at aspects of Grubaugh's work and added some significant details. Particularly interesting is Bass' calculation of tidal friction on the participating bodies, showing that, though the forces are extremely small, tidal friction works to stabilize a configuration that, despite the theoretical equilibrium, might otherwise be explosively unstable. Bass also carefully examined a unique coordinate system Grubaugh developed for his simulations and was able to confirm that, in the case of a collinear arrangement, this coordinate system allows greater accuracy than the coordinates usually employed in integration routines.

Additionally, as a very pleasant surprise growing out of his work on the Grubaugh models, Bass believes he's succeeded in mathematically deriving Bode's Law, a well-known empirically-based statement of the spatial relationships between planets in the solar system. Though I could never do justice to Bass' mathematics, his work would suggest that planets might have moved in a primitive system, entered a period of chaos, and then, with surprising rapidity, settled into their current positions. His calculations show that, in a chaotic system, the planets will continually bump each other resonantly until they achieve a defined equilibrium, wherein they experience the least interaction. At those equilibrium positions, which accord with Bode's empirical "law," a computer retro-calculation would deceptively suggest that they had been in those positions for countless millions of years, even if they arrived at those positions only yesterday on the geological time scale.

I should mention that the work of physicist Bob Driscoll is also potentially very significant because it draws heavily upon electromagnetism. For a number of reasons, I'm inclined to believe that electromagnetism played a major role in the evolution of the configuration -- perhaps even a dominant role in the earliest and possibly most stable phases. Driscoll has emphasized that electromagnetism, in addition to adding a stabilizing force to the in-line arrangement, permits the planets to move in much closer proximity to each other.

With all of this said, there's still no escaping a kind of stalemate between the historical evidence on the one hand, and scientific skepticism on the other. But I think we can at least be pleased with the headway, since only a few years ago it looked to all of us as if no resolution of the stalemate was likely, or even conceivable.

EON: Perhaps you could identify the basic components of the model first, before we get into the evolutionary stages.

Talbott: The thesis can be reduced to four most fundamental tenets:

   1. Ancient Planetary System. The thesis postulates a former congregation of planets having no analogy in the present solar system and dynamically tied to the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, with the participating bodies moving in extremely close proximity to each other. For terrestrial witnesses the planets were huge and often-terrifying bodies in the sky.

   2. Planets in Line. The model begins with an apparently stable or quasi-stable collinear system, with Saturn occluding the terrestrial view of Jupiter, Venus appearing in the center of Saturn, and Mars appearing inside of Venus.

   3. Earth's polar alignment. The thesis claims that the axis of the Earth was aligned with the collinear system so that, for the observer on Earth, the juxtaposed orbs occupied the celestial pole. The resulting celestial forms did not move across the sky, but simply rotated visually with the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

   4. Interplanetary Fields of Debris. At various junctures in the evolution of the configuration, streams of gas, ice, dust, rock or other material, alternately stretched between planets or spiraled around planets, contributing significantly to the unique forms of the evolving configuration. In periods of apparent dynamic instability, this comet-like material constituted a sky-darkening, at times Earth-threatening, cloud.

Now one of the purposes of this summary will be to show that these tenets are anything but randomly derived. On these fundamentals there is an unexplained accord, a stunning integrity of ancient testimony. And that is, to put it bluntly, an impossible situation -- unless the dominating experiences of early man involved natural experiences that have not only eluded modern science, but eluded historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and comparative mythologists as well.

Also, I think it would be helpful, as we proceed with the summary, to simply note the types of physical markers one might look for, based on the implications of our reconstruction. It is not sufficient for a unified theory to predict the content of the mytho-historical record or to embrace all of the recurring themes of myth. This particular theory is predicated on a natural environment physical scientists have never dreamed of, and that means it must ultimately encompass vast realms of physical data that do not fit conventional models.

One of the most fundamental differences separating our approach from mainstream theory is that we are claiming that planets interacted dynamically at very close distances. So when we see the clear-cut evidence of a catastrophic, planet-wide volcanism on Venus -- in fact, the sudden re-surfacing of the entire planet -- we would urge that large-scale planetary interactions be considered. Similarly in the case of the missing atmosphere and oceans of Mars. We would claim that the stripping away of these constituents involved extremely close interactions between Mars and both Venus and Earth.

But the problem we face here is that conventional theorists have never entertained such questions as even remote possibilities.

In visualizing an earlier planetary arrangement, one that will hopefully account for the full range of data (both historical and physical), I've made the tentative assumption that the former planetary system occupied the present region of Earth's or Venus' orbit, perhaps closer to Venus' orbit, so that Venus experienced the least orbital shift following the collapse of the system. That would, perhaps, account for Venus presently possessing the most circular of orbits.

The participating planets moved in alignment, with synchronous periods, and they remained in this in-line relationship at least long enough to allow for a series of recorded events, though at certain junctures a departure from perfect alignment becomes extremely significant. Moving "upward" from Earth you have this sequence: first the planet Mars, then Venus, then Saturn, then Jupiter. So the appearance of planetary spheres in conjunction is simply the result of a collinear arrangement, with the dissimilar sizes of the planets providing an extraordinarily precise fit with historical information.

Actually, two basic tendencies of the in-line planets are indicated. In addition to the periodic lateral displacement, which had a pronounced effect on what was seen from Earth, the distances between the planets changed, particularly in the case Mars' relationship to Venus and the Earth. Mars seems to have moved progressively on a more elliptical orbit, coming closer to the orbit of the Earth with each cycle. That behavior, in combination with the collinear dynamics and the polar alignment of the Earth, meant that the dominant visual motion of Mars occurred along the polar axis (the periodic displacement from the axis occurring as a secondary effect). This is what I mean by the unique sizes of the planets cooperating in the model. Of the planetary members of the configuration, only Mars is small enough for an observer on Earth's 45th parallel to be able to see "over" the planet so that its approach would appear visually as a descent from the polar center (see color plate on p. 36, Fig. 4). It is also the significantly smaller mass of Mars, according to Grubaugh, that explains its progressive displacement by resonance into a more elliptical orbit.

To these apparent motions one must add the presence of material stretching between Venus and Saturn, between Venus and Mars and between Mars and the Earth, something we will want to discuss at length. One of the lines of evidence for the periodic non-alignment of Mars and Venus, for example, will be those images suggesting gas and material being pulled from Mars and spiraling around Venus.

Similarly, as Mars moved closer to the Earth, a stream of atmosphere, dust, and ice was pulled toward the Earth and, in a catastrophic episode, apparently reached the earth.

AEON: Your starting point, with respect to recorded myths, is the Great Conjunction. At point zero, mythically, the planets stand in line.

Talbott: Yes, it's stunning how consistently the Great Conjunction of Saturn's Golden Age appears as the first chapter in the age of the gods, and once you enter the subject at this level, where you have much more than pictographic themes to work with, the evidence is massive. This is mythically the First Time, when the myths say that heaven was close to the Earth. "Heaven" means nothing else than the Universal Monarch -- Saturn -- in his undifferentiated state (i.e., before the activity of the mother goddess and hero as independent powers).

The Sumerian An, Egyptian Atum, Greek Ouranos, Hindu Varuna, Chinese Huang-ti -- these figures represent the primordial Unity when the planet-god appeared as a simple sphere, with a single "eye" or "heart-soul" constituted by the juxtaposed orbs of Mars and Venus, visually appearing in the center of Saturn. Their story is the story of the timeless epoch, an age with apparently no time-keeping references, but passing into a more cosmically conscious epoch, in which time-keeping became a central concern.

One of the things we will want to show is that in the first expressions of the time-keeping impulse, the focus was on a daily cycle in the sky -- a cycle that has nothing in common with our own day and night. This is something we can touch on when we arrive at the revolving crescent. Under the "tutelage" of Saturn, man was drawn upward from the pre-civilized epoch into a new evolutionary stage of consciousness, one in which sacred calendars and cosmic cycles played critical roles in the ancient cultures. Saturn's designation as Father Time was no accident. Measured time began with key events in Saturn's epoch, and the archetypal motif will find no meaning whatsoever in the behavior of the planet today.

AEON: With respect to the "starting point" in the myths, you have the planets standing in line, with Venus in the center of Saturn and Mars inside Venus. And I think you included this condition as one of the "verifiable" tenets of the thesis.

Talbott: Yes, one verifies this arrangement by showing that it is the only arrangement consistent with the full body of evidence. It really doesn't make any difference where the evidence comes from if it is evidence. But this is probably the hardest thing for conventional theorists to come to grips with. Pictographic evidence, written testimony, and the global ritual practices commemorating a lost epoch are not subordinate to the physical sciences when it comes to reconstructing the past. Why should we spend time worrying that hundreds of diverse and global ancient themes would speak with one accord for something that never happened? That is not only highly implausible, but impossible. More impossible than objects falling up rather than down. The only question is: do the recurring themes speak with unanimity? If it can be shown beyond any reasonable doubt that they do, then it's time for conventional theorists to begin questioning their age-old assumptions about the past. And if conventional theorists will only do that, they might also help us discover how planets could have interacted dynamically to produce the vivid celestial drama remembered around the world.

To verify an ancient experience through a historical argument does not exclude scientific inquiry in the least. Under our approach, questions of dynamics are simply held in suspension as the historical argument unfolds, since it is the historical argument, not physical theory, that raises the question in the first place, and only the historical argument can verify the ancient experiences to be explained. But the farther the historical argument takes us, the greater the need for scientific clarification -- and, yes, even corrections where necessary.

Let's go back to our starting point, mythologically, and explore the foundations a little further. In the color plate (page 36), Figs. 1 to 3, we offer three variations of the in-line planetary configuration as seen from the Earth.

The first image is the most elementary and happens to correspond to one of the most common pictographic images in the ancient world. The second is only a slight variation of the first, suggesting an ovoid shape of a massive gas or debris cloud moving around Venus. The third, also represented globally, is presented in so many variations that we will have to approach these variations with a good deal of discrimination. But these three illustrations reflect numerous ancient drawings of the way "heaven" looked in the prehistoric period, when the myths and first astronomies present Saturn, ruling alone, as Universal Monarch, distinguished by the solitary eye, heart, or soul. Conventionally, images of this sort are called "sun signs," which should be the first clue that there is something terribly wrong in the accepted approach to ancient symbolism.

As for the first two images, I should also add one further qualifier. There is reason to believe that, in the dynamic interaction of Venus and Mars, Venus' ovoid shape was due to gases or material being pulled from Mars and moving as a cloud about Venus. But since this egg-shape seems to give way rather quickly to other events, we can devote most of our attention to the more commonly depicted spherical shape.

With respect to the third image, considerable evidence suggests that, at certain points, material stretched from Venus toward Saturn, and various symbols of what I am calling the "Radiant Venus" appear to relate directly to that condition. I think we will want to take the time to consider a wide range of variations on the underlying idea.

Then there is the issue of planetary colors. The illustrations show Mars as red because that is the color it acquires. I've not found much to suggest that Mars possessed this attribute in the earliest phase. It's in connection with specific events that a deep rusty red comes to dominate. I've presumed, tentatively, that this reddening was related directly to the removal of atmosphere and oceans from Mars early on -- an occurrence for which the evidence seems decisive. The original color was something like a light blue or blue-gray, I would suggest, though illumination by the Sun seems to have generated associations with a golden hue as well, gold being a universal glyph for "brilliance."

With the evolution of the configuration, then, the colors associated with the participating planets are:

      Saturn: yellow, gold, ochre.

      Venus: white, silver, gray, turning to bright turquoise.

      Mars: blue-gray, growing to deep rusty red.

      Jupiter (unseen until displacement of Saturn): brightly ornamented with bands, undulating streams and colorful spots.

AEON: Let's give an overview of the myths relating to these early phases of the configuration. You have one phase in which Venus and Mars are simply viewed in conjunction, and another phase in which they still stand in conjunction, but material is streaming out from Venus. At least that's the way it apparently looked from Earth.

Talbott: Perhaps we should start with a well-known Babylonian image -- the famous "wheel" of Shamash.

Though the wheel here is set in a mythical  context, with human-like figures and various symbols of cosmic kingship, the form stands alone in original concept. Throughout Mesopotamia, artists recorded pictures of a "wheel" of this sort, appearing in the sky as the special form of the sun god Shamash -- who just happens to be identified astronomically as the planet Saturn. But when scholars offer their perfunctory comments on the "sun" wheel, they do not even pause to consider the fascinating details, or any relationship of these details to other images.

How strange to think that the ancient sky-worshippers would see such an extraordinary and improbable image in our Sun! And how unfortunate that the inertia of prior belief has prevented any discerning analysis of the image by modern scholars, or any recognition of the ways in which the image, taken in its literal details, will illuminate the recurring attributes of the great gods and goddesses -- not just in Assyria and Babylonia, but in every corner of the world.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan
