The top people in politics, banking, industry, military, commerce are usually members of at least one of these organizations, and are often members of several. The following sections detail the significance and influence these organizations have on current affairs.
"If the Bilderberg Group is not a conspiracy of some sort, it is conducted in such a way as to give a remarkably good imitation of one" - C Gordon Tether
C Gordon Tether wrote the record-breaking, long-running, prestigious and influential daily column "Lombard" for The Financial Times, and on 6th May 1975 his column contained the above reference to The Bilderberg Group. Tether was subsequently censored by his editor Max Henry Fisher to never mention Bilderberg in his column again, and was eventually sacked by Fisher over a dispute over this censorship. Fisher was himself not a member of Bilderberg but was a member of The Trilateral Commission, a sister organization to Bilderberg and run by the same people.
The last column which Tether wrote for the FT was written for the 3rd March 1976 edition, which was not published, contained the following;
"...Any conspiratologist who has the Bilderbergers in his sights will proceed to ask why it is that, if there is so little to hide, so much effort is devoted to hiding it."
Bilderberg is an annual meeting of around one hundred influential persons from the USA and Europe considered important by the Steering Committee. It is so named after the hotel in which the first meeting took place in 1954, the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. The meeting was organised by Prince Bernhard of the Dutch Royal Family, who had been a card-carrying Nazi and had worked in the economic intelligence unit of IG Farben.
There appears to be a core of people who attend Bilderberg meetings for a number of years, while some are only invited once. Some are there to represent their masters and report back. No notes are allowed to be taken by attendees to the meetings and none are published, but the Steering Committee does take notes and keeps them safe under lock and key for analysis. Under this secrecy attendees are encouraged to speak under Chatham House rules, that is frankly and openly. It is thought this allows the people controlling Bilderberg to see who would push forward the agenda, and who would oppose it. Blair was invited to attend in 1993, and accepted. Blair was at that time in the shadow cabinet, and being groomed by Gordon Brown who had himself attended the 1991 meeting. Blair has since lied to Parliament about his attendance in 1993, and the attendance of other members of the Blair cabinets. Now why would Blair do that? Is Blair a pathological liar? Is Blair aware of the importance and controversy of Bilderberg, particularly the hardcore Bilderbergers? I shall go into why Blair and his fellow cabinet members who have attended could be a wee bit uneasy about revealing their attendances at Bilderberg. But first here are some questions in Hansard regarding Bilderberg from Tony Gosling's excellent website www.bilderberg.org
Mr. Christopher Gill MP: To ask the Prime Minister which members of his Government have attended meetings of the Bilderberg Group. [34298]

Mr. John Bercow MP: To ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Hereford (Mr. Keetch) of 7 May 1999, Official Report, columns 476-77, on the Bilderberg Group, what official (i) transport and (ii) funds have been used to facilitate attendance at Bilderberg meetings of members of his Government; which members have attended meetings; what reports they have made on the meetings; and what subsequent communication they have had with others attending on subjects discussed at the meetings. [84213] [John Bercow MP] The Prime Minister: As far as I am aware, only one member of this Government--the Defence Secretary--has attended a meeting of the Bilderberg Group.

The Prime Minister [holding answer 16 March 1998]: None.
Regarding the answer to the latest question from John Bercow, Blair is blatantly lying. As of 1999, Gordon Brown attended in 1991, George Robertson (who Blair refers to as the Defence Secretary) attended in 1998, and Peter Mandelson attended in 1999, although the meeting didn't take place that year until 3rd June but due to the close, personal friendship between Mandelson and Blair I doubt that Mandy would not have told Blair about his invitation, particularly as Mandelson is now so powerful in the EU.
Regular recent attendees from Great Britain include Ken Clarke MP, Lord Eric Roll, Martin Taylor, and Lord Carrington.
Other recent attendees of interest from Great Britain are John Monks (President of the European TUC), Ed Balls (Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Education Secretary), William Hague (one time Shadow PM, Shadow Foreign Secretary), Malcolm Rifkind (ex-Defence Minister), William Waldegrave (various positions in the cabinets of Thatcher and Major) and Margaret Thatcher (PM).
Although The Bilderberg Group was first organised and run by Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, the driving force behind the first meeting was Doctor Joseph Retinger. Retinger was Polish with a PhD in Literature from Sorbonne, Paris. He travelled widely and lived in poverty, until World War 2 when he joined the Polish Government in Exile in London, and became the main advisor to General Sikorski. After World War 2 Retinger, it is said, was concerned at the expansion of Communism in Europe and began to suggest a meeting of Europe's most powerful people to create a council in Europe which was friendly to the USA and to push the American school of thought. On 7th May 1946 Retinger first proposed the idea of a 'European Movement' during a lecture he gave to the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Retinger then organised the Congress of The European Movement which was held in May 1948 at The Hague. The Congress subsequently created The Council of Europe, which is still growing from strength to strength. Retinger's friend and biographer Pomian wrote that "The Council of Europe was conceived as an institutional first step which might in time lead to some kind of supranational Government of Europe." At the first Congress of The European Movement, Retinger wrote in his diary, "Everybody realized that insistence on national independence and the preservation of national sovereignty were outdated."
Finance for The European Movement came from the CIA and The American Committee on United Europe (ACUE). The ACUE was officially launched on 29th March 1949, and was financed by the usual suspects who had made a fortune out of World War 2, e.g. Rockefellers, Ford, and it had CIA men in the controlling positions e.g. Bill Donovan of the OSS was Chairman, with Director of the CIA Allen Dulles as Vice-Chairman.
The first Bilderberg meeting took several years to organize. Although Retinger's prime focus was Europe he thought that real influence over world affairs could not be made without the participation of the USA. So with his Council of Europe established (with CIA money) he looked across the Atlantic and began to suggest the creation of The Atlantic Community. In 1952 Retinger approached his friend Paul Rijkens, his European Movement associate, and suggested a secret meeting of powerful and influential people in member nations of NATO at which participants could openly and frankly discuss the issues of the day to possibly reach a consensus. NATO had been created shortly before The Council of Europe, in April 1949. The meetings were designed to promote European unity, and to form an Atlantic alliance. Rijkens suggested a meeting with Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands. Bernhard was from the Dutch Royal family, and this Royal connection was thought to be useful (though why was no other Royal approached?). Over time a small group of Europeans was formed to promote these proposed meetings, including French Prime Minister Antoine Pinay and Italian Prime Minister Alcide de Gasperi. Bernhard and Retinger went to the USA to lobby then CIA Director General Walter Bedell Smith and National Security Assistant Charles Jackson. Some Americans were receptive and formed an American committee, and among them were David Rockefeller, Dean Rusk (then head of the Rockefeller Foundation) and Joseph Johnson (then President of The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace).
The minutes from that first Bilderberg meeting at Hotel de Bilderberg, Oosterbeek, 29th - 31st May 1954, contain this reference to a long term plan for world control;
"Insufficient attention has so far been paid to long-term planning, and to evolving an international order which would look beyond the present-day crisis. When the time is ripe our present concepts of world affairs should be extended to the whole world."
Now, does what you have read so far indicate that Bilderberg is working towards a united Europe as a stepping stone to world government, as well as acting as a forum for consensus to be reached over what to do next? This would explain why Bilderberg is rarely mentioned in the media, why minutes are not publicly available and what we know has been leaked, and why the meetings take over a whole hotel and are guarded by the intelligence services of the nation hosting the meeting and at public expense?!
As more evidence that this is the function of Bilderberg, George McGhee, former US Ambassador to West Germany, said that The Treaty of Rome, which created the European Common Market, was created during a series of Bilderberg meetings. McGhee was present at the 1955 Bilderberg meeting at which, according to a confidential record,
"...it was generally recognized that it is our common repsonsibility to arrive in the shortest possible time at the highest degree of integration, beginning with a common European market."
The website of The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), at http://www.cfr.org, gives a brief history of the CFR, and it does sound very romantic. For example,
"...The historical record of the Paris Peace Conference focuses on the meetings of the major powers: Britain, France, Italy, and the United States. To those of the Inquiry, however, and the colleagues they gathered among diplomatic and military officers in Europe, these plenary sessions mattered little. For them the daily teas at the Quai d’Orsay, the bridge games, the breakfast and dinner meetings of experts from a dozen countries gave enduring personal meaning to the peace conference.In congenial and civilized encounters, they floated ideas in the noncommittal style of an Oxford Common Room; they noted each others’ expertise and forged lifelong friendships without regard to age or nationality. In these unrecorded discussions the frontiers of central Europe were redrawn (subject, of course, to their principals’ sanction), vast territories were assigned to one or another jurisdiction, and economic arrangements were devised on seemingly rational principles. “It seemed to us that the drafting of peace would be a brisk, amicable, and hugely righteous affair,” wrote Harold Nicolson, one of the young Britons in attendance.
This was all too reassuring to let fade once the statesmen had gone home. On May 30, 1919, a little group of diplomats and scholars from Britain and the United States convened at the Hotel Majestic, billet of the British delegation, to discuss how their fellowship could be sustained after the peace. They proposed a permanent Anglo-American Institute of International Affairs, with one branch in London, the other in New York.
As the American peacemakers drifted home over the next months, they found their fellow citizens absorbed in isolationism and prohibition, thoroughly inhospitable to the ideals of the League of Nations and the other stillborn creations of the Versailles Treaty. Intellectual dynamism was exhausted in “the physical and spiritual breakdown” of the veteran scholars from Paris, wrote Shepardson, who left House’s staff to become a pioneer of the American branch."
Thus was the decision taken to create the Royal Institute of International Affairs and its Amercian branch The Council on Foreign Relations. But who was in this "little group of diplomats and scholars from Britain and the United States convened at the Hotel Majestic" on that fateful day of 30th May 1919? According to The Council on Foreign Relations Handbook of 1936, "On May 30, 1919, several leading members of the delegations to the Paris Peace Conference met at the Hotel Majestic in Paris to discuss setting up an international group which would advise their respective governments on international affairs. The U.S. was represented by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss (Chief of Staff, U.S. Army), Col. Edward M. House, Whitney H. Shepardson, Dr. James T. Shotwell, and Prof. Archibald Coolidge. Great Britain was unofficially represented by Lord Robert Cecil, Lionel Curtis, Lord Eustace Percy, and Harold Temperley."
Of the Americans, Colonel Edward Mandell House was Woodrow Wilson's chief adviser and gofer for the City of London/Money Trust bankers. Of the British, Lionel Curtis was the organiser of The Round Table network and the chief ideaologist promoting the idea of a Great British Empire, and he also believed that the USA should return to being part of the British Empire once again. Curtis explained his theory of what went wrong with the USA for it to apparently cede from the British Empire in 1776, and how and why the USA should return to the 'British Commonwealth' i.e. Empire of the Greedy Elite, in his book The Commonwealth of Nations. This idea of a 'British Commonwealth' was eventually implemented, as were a number of Curtis's ideas for The British Empire, e.g. the independence of India. Thus the idea of the RIIA/CFR brotherhood is for Great Britain to exercise great influence over American politics and not vice versa.
The money for the CFR came from what was known as "The Money Trust", the bankers who had tricked their way into creating that greatest fraud of all time upon mankind, The Federal Reserve, i.e. Rockefeller, Morgan, Warburg.
So what was the purpose of creating these two closely-related organizations, the RIIA and CFR?
From the above quote from the CFR website, "As the American peacemakers drifted home over the next months, they found their fellow citizens absorbed in isolationism and prohibition, thoroughly inhospitable to the ideals of the League of Nations..."
The Peace Treaty of Versailles proposed The Covenant of The League of Nations, the first attempt at world government, in Articles 1 to 30. The USA did not ratify this Treaty, and due to this and the subsequent loss of finance from The Federal Reserve, the League of Nations was doomed to failure. There was an almighty tustle between Woodrow Wilson and a number of US Senators who opposed the Treaty and the Covenant. Wilson went on a tour of the USA promoting the Treaty and the Covenant, which ended with him collapsing from exhaustion and then suffering a stroke. Although some compromises were reached, ultimately the Treaty was not ratified by the Senate, and the USA reached its own separate peace treaties with Germany, Hungary and Austria. This showed what a problem the USA could be. It had resisted over a century of economic interference and an engineered civil war before eventually being tricked into accepting a privately-owned central bank, The Federal Reserve. And it had also decided that it would not join, and thus be controlled by, a world governnment being proposed by The City of London Bankers, who also created and controlled the Federal Reserve, and their agents in the USA (for the chief advisor to Woodrow Wilson, Colonel Mandell House, was a willing tool of the London Bankers).
Although the CFR was created before the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles, it did not really take off until after this rejection, for it was then absolutely crystal clear that the USA would require a little more 'persuading' to submit to a world government. Since then virtually every President of the USA and Secretary of State (the equivalent of the Foreign Secretary) has been a member of the CFR. And yet by 1978 only two academic studies of the CFR had been made of the CFR. Members of the CFR are all the top bankers, politicians, industrialists, and not just anyone can join. There is a very careful screening process and you must be recommended by one current member of the CFR, and have three more good references, though it does help enormously if these three secondary references are also from current members of the CFR. And they say that anyone can become President of the USA?! Bollocks! You must be a member of the CFR and working towards a world government. The United Nations was created by Alger Hiss, a long-time member of The Council on Foreign Relations.
As for the Royal Institute of International Affairs, it has now changed its name to "Chatham House", so named after the building which houses it, No. 9 St James Square, London. It was initially financed by Lord Astor, then owner of The Times, and Sir Abe Bailey, a South African mining magnate.
The Round Table network organized by Lionel Curtis was also financed with profits from South Africa. Cecil Rhodes, financed by the Rothschilds, created a monopoly on the diamond mines of South Africa with de Beers Consolidated Mines, and then expanded into gold mining to create Consolidated Gold Fields. Rhodes spent his personal income on expanding the British Empire, wanting to federate all English-speaking peoples and bring all the habitable portions of the world under their control, to create an "Imperial Federation" or "Imperial Union". In his 1877 Confession of Faith Rhodes asked,
"...Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire?"
To further this 'dream' Rhodes founded The Rhodes Scholarships, to bring potentially useful people, British and non-British, to Oxford University, to be schooled in and impressed by the British philosophy and way of doing things, and to then return to their homeland to promote and implement the British Empire's ideals. One such Rhodes Scholar is Bill Clinton, and there are many other American Rhodes Scholars who have gone onto occupy powerful positions in American society. Rhodes also suggested the idea of The Round Table network, but was unable to form such a society in his lifetime. The formation of The Round Table network is credited to Lord Alfred Milner who was appointed as the dominant Trustee of The Rhodes Trust, while Curtis organized the network. According to Carroll Quigley, author of Tragedy and Hope,
"By 1915 Round Table groups existed in seven countries, including England, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and a rather loosely organized group in the United States (George Louis Beer, Walter Lippmann, Frank Aydelotte, Whitney Shepardson, Thomas W. Lamont, Jerome D. Greene, Erwin D. Canham of the Christian Science Monitor, and others). The attitudes of the various groups were coordinated by frequent visits and discussions and by a well-informed and totally anonymous quarterly magazine, The Round Table, whose first issue, largely written by Philip Kerr, appeared in November 1910."'
Whitney Shepardson, a member of the American Round Table, was also present at the 30th May 1919 meeting at the Hotel Majestic at which the RIIA and CFR were suggested.
So with every single President of the USA being a member of what was and still is essentially an organization for Great Britain to extend its influence over American politics, is it any wonder we have the Queen bestowing Knighthoods and honours on American politicians (George W Bush, Henry Kissinger), bankers (Alan Greenspan) and military leaders (Tommy Franks, 'Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell)?
Here are some quotes regarding The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR);
"The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of US sovereignty and National independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government." - Rear Admiral Chester Ward, who resigned from the CFR when he discovered its real purpose, as expressed in the above quote."The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common - they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government." - Rear Admiral Chester Ward
"The CFR, dedicated to one-world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education and mass communication media, should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution and our free enterprise system. Yet, the nation's right-to-know machinery, and the news media, usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities. The CFR is the establishment. Not only does it have influence and power in key decision making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member of a one-world dictatorship." - Congressman John Rarick.
". . . The Council of Foreign Relations has been exposed by extensive research and much testimony as being engaged in destroying the Constitution and the Sovereignty of the United States of America. . . Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died for liberty, and this liberty is being swiftly destroyed by members and programs of the Council of Foreign Relations, who, in the name of One-Worldism and United Nationism, are surrendering our country to the enemy, proposing that our country be disarmed unilaterally or bilaterally, that all individuals in the United States be disarmed to make enemy conquest easier, that our Armed Forces be turned over to the Communist-controlled United Nations." - The American Legion declared the Council of Foreign Relations to be Subversive in its Resolution No. 62-631-28 of July 1, 1962.
So, The Council on Foreign Relations is an organization which was created and financed by the people belonging to The Round Table/Money Trust, and is working towards a one world government. At the time of writing, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has lead to the acceptance of an express highway 1/4 mile wide linking Mexico to Canada and driving straight through the hearland of the USA. This will eventually mean no borders in North America. A North American Union between Canada, The USA and Mexico is quietly being proposed and implemented, with a proposed currency, the Amero.
The same people who control Bilderberg control The Trilateral Commission, i.e. Rockefeller. This organization is different to Bilderberg. Unlike Bilderberg The Trilateral Commission is slightly more open. It even has its own website, at http://www.trilateral.org/, which publishes the agenda of each annual meeting, as well as a history of the organization and publications. A formal membership is maintained, while members of Bilderberg are invited to attend, possibly even for just the one meeting. Like Bilderberg members of The Trilateral Commission are from North America and Europe, but The Trilateral Commission also includes members from Japan. This has now widened to include people from Austral-Asia in general, as well as Mexico and Canada. So it is quite the globalist organization, possibly more so than Bilderberg.
To understand why the Japanese were considered for membership of The Trilateral Commission we have to go back to The Cold War of the 1970's. Zbigniew Brzezinski was head of the Russian Studies Department at Columbia University. In his book Between Two Ages, Brzezinski suggested that "the more important and promising changes in the years to come will have to involve Europe and Japan". True to Pike's plan, The Communist Bloc would be 'surrounded' by Japan, Western Europe and the USA. This concept of 'Trilateralism' was taken up by David Rockefeller, the man behind Bilderberg, and he invited Brzezinski to the meeting of Bilderberg in 1972. Attendees to that 1972 Bilderberg meeting agreed with Brzezinski's analysis and agreed to the formation of The Trilateral Commission. Rockefeller sent his friend George Franklin to Europe to recruit members for this new organization, and then Rockefeller went with Franklin to Japan on a similar recruiting mission. Rockefeller financed all of this out of his own pocket. The Kettering Foundation had been issuing grants for scientific research for world peace and harmony, but in the early 1970's began to believe that world peace and harmony could instead be achieved through political and social research, so The Trilateral Commission looked appealing to them and it gave the Commission tax-free grants. The Ford Foundation also chipped in. By May 1973 there were sufficient members in each of the three geographical areas for three Executive Committees to be appointed for each area. David Rockefeller was on the North American Committee. The Trilateral Commission was officially launched on 1st July 1973, and amongst its members as a Commissioner was then Governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter. Another Commissioner at the time of the launch was Lord Eric Roll (who 33 years later still attends Bilderberg meetings!). Roll has been a Director of the Bank of England, Chairman of S. G. Warburg and Director of The Times.
The Trilateral Commission's first task force report looked at the world monetary system, and stated,
"...one of the monetary task force recommendations, the coordinated sale of official gold into private markets and the use of the resulting 'capital gains' for development assistance, has been partially realized in the sale of a portion of the gold holdings of the International Monetary Fund."
This gld scam sounds remarkably like the suggestion of a massive gold fraud that has been ongoing for decades, and has recently been exposed via a lawsuit brought by Reginald Howe against, amongst others, Sir Alan Greenspan, JP Morgan, Chase Manhattan and Citigroup, both owned by the Rockefellers. Howe alleged that the defendants were fixing the price of gold by arranging through private networks for the sale of public gold at times of benefit to the defendants. The judge in the case agreed that Howe was right, but did not have bottle to rule against the defendants claiming that Howe "was the wrong man to bring the case"!
At the first formal meeting of The Trilateral Commission it was agreed that,
"It will be the purpose of The Trilateral Commission to generate the will to respond in common with the opportunities and challenges that we confront and to assume the responsibility that we face. The Commission will seek to promote among Japanese, West Europeans and North Americans the habit of working together on problems of mutual concern, to seek to obtain a shared understanding of these complex problems, and to devise and disseminate proposals of general benefit. The cooperation we seek involves a sustained process of consultation and mutual education, with our countries coming closer together to meet common needs. To promote such cooperation the Commission will undertake an extensive program of trilateral policy studies, and will cooperate with existing private institutions as appropriate."
Does this include controlling the Presidency of The United States of America?
As Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter had opened up trade offices for the State of Georgia in Brussels and Tokyo. This was exactly what the creators of The Trilateral Commission wanted to see. David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski invited Carter to lunch at the Connaught Hotel, London when the three of them were by accident in London at the same time. Rockefeller and Brzezinski both agreed that Carter was a man for the Presidency. Carter was a farmer from Georgia and had little experience in foreign affairs. Brzezinski, the head of the department of Russian Studies at Columbia University, became Carter's top speech-writer and adviser on foreign policy. Carter also received plenty of help from other Trilateral Commission members. Carter accepted all this help and on winning the 1976 Election he rewarded The Trilateral Commission with senior posts in his administration. For example,
These are the main posts in the administration, and they were all filled by members of The Trilateral Commission. Other members of The Trilateral Commission filled less important posts, but were still powerful in their own right.
But the warning bells should have rang loud and clear as to what sort of President Carter would be. In his seech accepting the Democratic nomination, Carter condemned the "unholy, self-perpetuating alliances that have been formed between money and politics". He also spoke of, but without explicitly naming, The Trilateral Commission,
"a political and economic elite who have shaped decisions and never had to account for mistakes nor to suffer from injustice. When unemployment prevails, they never stand in line looking for a job. When deprivation results from a confused welfare system, they never go without food or a place to sleep. When the public schools are inferior or torn by strife, their children go to exclusive private schools. And when the bureaucracy is bloated and confused, the powerful always manage to discover and occupy niches of special influence and privilege."
Perhaps this speech was written to appeal to the masses to win their vote (for easily rigged electronic voting machines were not invented by then), and Rockefeller understood the need for such appearances. But although Carter appointed members of The Trilateral Commission to run his administration and to offer him advice, he regularly ignored that advice from The Trilateral Commission members in his administration and instead followed the advice of "The Georgia Mafia", a group of acquaintances from Georgia who Carter brought to Washington DC when he moved into The White House. At the 1978 Bilderberg meeting Carter's foreign policy was severely criticized, after Carter had refused to acquiesce in deploying the neutron bomb through NATO. So Rockefeller decided Carter had be removed from the Oval Office. But how?
Just before the 1980 Election things started to get tricky in Iran. The Shah of Iran wanted a greater cut of the profits from the products of Iranian oil. He had been installed as leader of Iran by the CIA because his predecessor Mossadegh had tried to nationalize the oil industry and use the profits from oil for Iran (the flaming cheek!). But then the Shah decided that he wanted to use some of the profits from oil for the Iranian people too! The CIA and MI6 were sent in to cause unrest and revolution and eventually The Iranian Revolution led to downfall of the Shah and the installation of a man of British descent as the leader of Iran, and whose father had worked for BP in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini. During this unrest the US Embassy in Tehran was occupied and hostages were seized. Here was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone; get rid of the Shah and get rid of Carter.
In return for releasing the hostages the Iranian revolutionaries wanted guns and money. George Bush was sent on a secret mission to Paris to negotiate with the Iranian revolutionaries and an agreement was reached; they could have the guns and money, but only if the release of the hostages was delayed until after the 1980 Presidential Election. The purpose of this delay was to make Carter look weak at election time, and it worked. The election was close but Carter lost to Ronald Reagan. Bush kept his word and the Iranians got their guns and money. George Bush had been selected as the replacement for Carter by David Rockefeller in 1979 after giving Bush a cheque for $1000 during a meeting between them and other New York City bankers. Rockefeller also organized a fund-raising dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. Bush had joined The Trilateral Commission, at the personal invitation of David Rockefeller in early 1977 shortly after Bush had resigned as Director of the CIA. Bush was then a member of The Trilateral Commission for two years before resigning shortly before he began his Presidential campaign (presumably hoping nobody would ask questions about his previous membership). Bush was doing well in the necessary elections, considering he was not a career politician, until a Reagan supporter, William Loeb, learned of Bush's membership of The Trilateral Commission and published stories about it in his New Hampshire statewide paper Manchester Union Leader, labelling Bush as a stooge of the one-worlders, i.e. The Trilateral Commission. Thus Bush ended up as Vice President. Perhaps it was expected that Reagan entering the twilight of his years would not last long and Bush would be ideally placed to takeover. But it was Bush who went to Paris to negotiate the delayed release of the American hostages, and he eventually became Vice President of the USA, and the conduit for advice for Reagan from David Rockefeller.
"Begone detested care! Begone!" - words uttered by the Priest overseeing a mock human sacrifice at Bohemian Grove
On July 15th 2000 Alex Jones somehow managed to enter Bohemian Grove, and evade the security guards and their questions for most of the daytime. But at night he filmed with a secret camera The Ritual. This ritual is called The Cremation of Care. During the ritual, which lasts about 10 minutes, an effigy of a human being is burned on an altar in front of a 40ft tall owl made of stone. The owl is called Moloch. This is the Canaanite god to whom children were sacrificed by throwing them into a burning pit of fire in front of an owl or inside the owl.
Apologists for Bohemian Grove will tell you that the cremation of care is intended to persuade the attendees to the ritual to abandon their worldy cares and enjoy themselves. If so, why burn an effigy of a human in front of a large stone owl called Moloch, a ritual which imitates the ancient ritual sacrifice of children?
See The Cremation of Care at http://www.prisonplanet.tv/alex\_jones\_documentaries.html (subscription required).
I believe The Cremation of Care is designed to persuade attendees to enjoy themselves in a different and more evil way, by appealing to their satanist egoes. The attendees of Bohemian Grove are the rich and powerful; Presidents, Royalty, International Bankers. These people could change the state of the world in an hour, from one of despair and evil to one of hope and love. But they don't. Instead they perpetuate the system. I believe The Cremation of Care is designed to persuade the attendees not to show any care at all for anyone on the planet.
The film Alex Jones shot of The Cremation of Care is very disturbing. You can easily see there is much more to the ritual than just asking the attendees to abandon their cares. There are plenty of robed and masked men, an effigy of a human, representing care, is burned as if alive, for you hear terrible screams of pain when the altar and effigy are set alight. You also hear the sickos attending the ritual cheer when the altar and effigy are set alight!
During the ritual you hear two different voices. One is supposed to be the priest performing the sacrifice, and the other is the voice of 'care'. The following is a transcript of the ritual Jones filmed.
Priest - The Owl is in His leafy temple Let all within the grove be reverent before Him. Lift up your heads oh ye trees And be lifted up ye everlasting spires For behold here is bohemia's shrine And holy are the pillars of this house. Weaving spiders come not here! Hail, Bohemians! With the ripple of waters The song of birds Such music as inspires the sinking soul Do we invite you into Midsummer's joy. The sky above is blue and sown with stars The forest floor is heaped with fragrant grit The evening's cool kiss is yours The campfire's glow The birth of rosy fingered dawn. For behold, here is Bohemia's shrine And holy are the pillars of his house Shake off your sorrows with the city's dust And cast to the winds the cares of life. But memories bring back the well-loved names of gallant friends Who knew and loved this grove Dear boom companions of a long ago Aye, let them join us in this ritual! And not a piece be empty in our midst. All of these battles to hold In this gray autumn of the world Or in the springtime of your heart. Attend our tale Gather ye forest folks! And cast your spells over these mortals Touch their world-blind eyes with carry-on Open their eyes to fancy Follow the memories of yesterday And seal the gates of sorrow. It is a dream And yet, not all a dream Dull Care in all of his works Harbored it As vanished Babylon and goodly Tyre So shall they also vanish But the wilding rose blows on the broken battlements of Tyre And moss rends the stones of Babylon For beauty is eternal And we bow to beauty everlasting For lasting happiness we turn our eyes to one alone, And she surrounds you now. Great nature, refuge of the weary heart, And only balm to breasts that have been bruised. She hath cool hands for every fevered brow And gentlest silence for the troubled soul. Her councils are most wise She healeth well Having such ministries as calm and sleep She is ever faithful Other friends may fail But seek ye her in any quiet place Smiling, she will rise and give to you her kiss So must ye come as children Little children that believe do not ever doubt her beauty or her faith Nor deem her tenderness can change or die Bohemians and priests! The desperate call of heavy hearts is answered. By the power of your fellowship, Dull Care is slain His body has been brought yonder to our funeral pyre To the joyous singings of a funeral march; Our funeral pyre awaits the corpse of Care O thou, thus ferried across the shadowy tide In all the ancient majesty of death Dull Care, ardent enemy of beauty Not for thee the forgiveness or the restful grave Fire shall have its will of thee And all the winds make merry with thy dust Bring fire!
Care - Fools! Fools! Fools! When will ye learn That me ye cannot slay? Year after year ye burn me in this grove, lifting your puny shouts of triumph to the stars. When again you turn your faces to the marketplace do you not find me waiting as of old? Fools! Fools! Fools to dream you conquer care.
Priest - Say Thou mocking spirit! It is not all a dream. We know thou waiting for us When this out sylvan holiday has ended we shall meet thee and fight thee as of old. And some of us prevail against thee. And some thou shall destroy. But this too we know. Year after year within this happy grove, our fellowship bans thee for a space. Thine malevolence which would pursue us here has lost its power under these friendly trees. So shall we burn thee once again this night and, with the flames that eat thine effigy, we shall read the sign Midsummer sets us free!
Care - Ye shall burn me once again! Not with these flames! Which hither ye have brought from regions where I reign. Ye fools and priests, I spit upon your fire!
Priest - O Owl! Prince of all mortal wisdom Owl of Bohemia, we beseech thee Grant us thy council
Care - No fire... No fire... No fire...
Priest - Let it be in the world where care is nourished, on the hates of men, and drive him from this grove. One flame alone must light this fire. One flame alone must light this fire. A pure eternal flame. At last, within the lamp of Fellowship, upon the altar of Bohemia. O Great Owl of Bohemia! We thank thee for thy adjuration. Begone detested care! Begone! Once more, we banish thee! Begone Dull Care! Fire should have its will of thee! Begone Dull Care! And all the winds make merry with thy dust. Hail, fellowship's eternal flame! Once again Midsummer sets us free!
The effigy of sacrificed care is then set alight and terrible screams of pain are heard over the sound system, which drive the attendees watching the bizarre ritual to cheer and clap.
So this is what our leaders get upto on warm summer's evenings; cheering on mock human sacrifices to a Canaanite god to whom children were sacrificed, to the sounds of someone in terrible pain!
The burning image above shows a scene from the finale of "The Cremation of Care" in which a human effigy called "care" is burned alive in front of Moloch, represented by a 40ft stone owl, the attending Priests, and whole bunch of very wealthy but mentally retarded sickos.
In the chapter on the United States of America I go into the influence that Freemasonry had before, during and after on the American War of Independence. The 33rd Degree Freemasonic Historian Manly P Hall had this to say about Freemasonry and America in his book The Secret Teachings of All Ages,
"Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for A PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR PURPOSE known only to the initiated few." [emphasis added]
The fact remains that Freemasons had control over the street design of Washington DC and placed a very powerful satanic symbol, the inverted, irregular and incomplete pentagram, to the North of the White House, and performed their bizarre Freemasonic rituals at Presidential inaugurations and the laying of the cornerstones of important buildings, e.g. The Capitol. The dominant branch of Freemasonry in the USA today is The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (AASR). Considering the number of Freemasons there are in the USA there is a significant and disproportionate number of Presidents of the USA who were Freemasons. The top degree of Freemasonry is the 33rd degree. Some Freemason Presidents have been 33rd degree, e.g. Harry Truman who dropped the bomb on Japan, but some have not. There is the potential for Freemasonic influence over a Freemasonic President due to the initiation oaths taken by Masons as they step up to the next degree. I shall go into these Masonic oaths later, but here is an example of Freemasonic influence over the Presidency. The 17th President of the USA was Andrew Johnson. Albert Pike was wanted for conspiracy of involvement in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and had fled to Canada. Pike was the Grand Commander of the AASR and there was therefore some public interest in the AASR. An investigation by the Senate Judiciary Committee into the AASR called General Gordon Granger as witness. Granger testified to the committee that he was present at a meeting between himself, Johnson and Pike at which Granger believed President Johnson to be subordinate to Pike due to their membership of Freemasonry, with Pike being of a much higher degree, and in fact in control of American Freemasonry. Johnson later pardoned Pike.
When it comes to Freemasonry 99.99% of the world is in the dark. Not even its members know the truth, the whole truth, except those at the very, very top (see quote from Manly P Hall above). The origin of Freemasonry varies. One suggestion is that Freemasonry evolved from the masons constructing the medieval cathedrals. There are various others. But who cares? Masons are good, we are told. Masons are involved in local fundraising and charitable events. Or is this just a front?
In the chapter on World War 1 you will find a quote from Kaiser Wilhelm II in his memoirs, in which he states that after World War 1 a top German Freemason told him that Freemasonry wanted to destroy Germany and the central european monarchies and engineered World War 1 for that purpose. The Kaiser subsequently did some research and came to the conclusion that secret societies had tricked him into war. Freemasonry is also in the background pulling the strings in the event that led to the beginning of World War 1, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austro-Hungary, with Freemasonry having condemned the Archduke to death in 1912 (nice chaps!). This Freemasonic desire to destroy Germany was carried through to World War 2 when Freemason Winston Churchill said that World War 2 was not about destroying the Nazis but was about destroying Germany, which led to Churchill ignoring Hitler's overtures of an alliance with Germany against Communism in 1940, and Freemason FDR's rejection of Admiral Canaris' suggestions to end the war two years early. If Churchill had accepted Hitler's suggestion then there would have been no World War 2, and thus no Holocaust and thus no Israel, and also no United Nations. If Churchill and FDR had accepted Canaris' suggestion then this would have stopped the Holocaust, ended the war early, saved many millions of lives, but also reduced the probability that Israel and the UN would be accepted following the bloodshed. So why did Churchill and FDR refuse these offers? Were the creation of Israel and the UN the ultimate goal of World War 2?
I think this could be the 'peculiar and particular purpose' of the USA that Manly P Hall referred to in the quote above. A possible plan could be that Israel was created to cause so much anger in the Islamic world and the USA would be identified with Israel, through military and financial assistance and now more so through organizations such as AIPAC, so that Israel and the USA would be attacked and a war would then exist between the political Zionists and Islam. Cheney is threatening first nuclear strike on Iran if the USA is 'attacked' (e.g. through some synthetic terror attack), even if Iran has nothing to do with the 'attack'. If that happens, Iran is bound to attack Israel, and Israel will no doubt nuke Iran. This is alleged to have been discussed as a possibility and probability at the 2006 Bilderberg meeting.
Freemasonry is the ideal vehicle for subversion. Lots of men swearing oaths of loyalty to each other, to help each other out in times of trouble, and to even protect their brother Masons by perverting the course of justice and committing perjury! Indeed, President John Quincy Adams had this to say of Freemasonry,
"A more perfect agent for the devising and execution of conspiracies against church or state could scarcely have been conceived."
The image above shows the structure of two major branches of Freemasonry; The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, and The York Rite. The first three degrees are common and are known as The Blue Degrees. Most Masons never progress beyond the third degree, The Master Mason. Only persons made of 'the right stuff' can progress further, by being corruptible and/or have the correct bloodline. Albert Pike had this to say of The Blue Degrees in his book Morals and Dogma;
"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled ...The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry. The whole body of the Royal and Sacerdotal Art was hidden so carefully, centuries since, in the High Degrees, as that it is even yet impossible to solve many of the enigmas which they contain. It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain, and without any true reward violate his obligations as an Adept. Masonry is the veritable Sphinx, buried to the head in the sands heaped round it by the ages."
Most Masons are of the Third Degree or lower, so according to Pike they are intentionally misled into believing Masonry is about something which it is not. What a bunch of gimps!
The following oaths are taken from Duncan's Ritual and Monitor of Freemasonry
The Oath for The First Degree, The Entered Apprentice.
I, (name of initiate), of my own free will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God, and this Worshipful Lodge, erected to Him, and dedicated to the holy Sts. John, 1 do hereby and hereon (Master presses his gavel on candidate's knuckles) most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, that I will always hail, 2 ever conceal, and never reveal, any of the arts, parts, or points of the hidden mysteries of Ancient Free Masonry, which may have been, or hereafter shall be, at this time, or any future period, communicated to me, as such, to any person or persons whomsoever, except it be to a true and lawful brother Mason, or in a regularly constituted Lodge of Masons; nor unto him or them until, by strict trial, due examination, or lawful information, I shall have found him, or them, as lawfully entitled to the same as I am myself. I furthermore promise and swear that I will not print, paint, stamp, stain, cut, carve, mark, or engrave them, or cause the same to be done, on any thing movable or immovable, capable of receiving the least impression of a word, syllable, letter, or character, whereby the same may become legible or intelligible to any person under the canopy of heaven, and the secrets of Masonry thereby unlawfully obtained through my unworthiness. All this I most solemnly, sincerely promise and swear, with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same, without any mental reservation or secret evasion of mind whatever, binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea, at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly violate this my Entered Apprentice obligation. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.}
The Oath for The Second Degree, The Fellow Craft.
I, (name of initiate), of my own free-will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God, and this worshipful Lodge, erected to Him, and dedicated to the holy STS. JOHN, 1 do hereby and hereon (Master presses candidate's hand with the gavel), most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear that I will always hail, and ever conceal, and never reveal any of the secret arts, parts, or points of the Fellow Craft Degree to any person whomsoever, except it be to a true and lawful brother of this degree, or in a regularly constituted Lodge of Fellow Crafts; nor unto him or them until, by strict trial, due examination, or lawful information, I shall find him, or them, as lawfully entitled to the same as I am myself. I furthermore promise and swear that I will stand to, and abide by, all the laws, rules, and regulations of the Fellow Craft Degree, as far as the same shall come to my knowledge. Further. I will acknowledge and obey all due signs and summons sent to me from a Lodge of Fellow Crafts, or given me by a brother of that degree, if within the length of my cable-tow. Further, that I will aid and assist all poor, distressed, worthy Fellow Crafts, knowing them to be such, as far as their necessities may require, and my ability permit, without any injury to myself. Further, that I will not cheat, wrong, nor defraud a brother of this degree, knowingly, nor supplant him in any of his laudable undertakings. All this I most solemnly promise and swear with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or self-evasion of mind whatever, binding myself under no less penalty than of having my breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and placed on the highest pinnacle of the temple , there to be devoured by the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly violate the Fellow Craft obligation. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.}
The Oath for The Third Degree, The Master Mason
I, (name of initiate), of my own free-will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God, and this worshipful Lodge, erected to him and dedicated to the holy Sts. John, do hereby and hereon most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, that I will always hail, ever conceal, and never reveal any of the secrets, arts, parts, point or points, of the Master Masons' Degree, to any person or persons whomsoever, except it be to a true and lawful brother of this Degree, or in a regularly constituted Lodge of Master Masons, nor unto him, or them, until by strict trial, due examination, or lawful information, I shall have found him, or them, as lawfully entitled to the same as I am myself. I furthermore promise and swear, that I will stand to and abide by all laws, rules, and regulations of the Master Masons' Degree, and of the Lodge of which I may hereafter become a member, as far as the same shall come to my knowledge; and that I will ever maintain and support the constitution, laws, and edicts of the Grand Lodge under which the same shall be holden. Further, that I will acknowledge and obey all due signs and summonses sent to me from a Master Masons' Lodge, or given me by a brother of that Degree, if within the length of my cable-tow. Further, that I will always aid and assist all poor, distressed, worthy Master Masons, their widows and orphans, knowing them to be such, as far as their necessities may require, and my ability permit, without material injury to myself and family. Further, that I will keep a worthy brother Master Mason's secrets inviolable, when communicated to and received by me as such, murder and treason excepted. Further, that I will not aid, nor be present at, the initiation, passing, or raising of a woman, an old man in his dotage, a young man in his nonage, an atheist, a madman, or fool, knowing them to be such. Further, that I will not sit in a Lodge of clandestine-made Masons, nor converse on the subject of Masonry with a clandestine-made Mason, nor one who has been expelled or suspended from a Lodge, while under that sentence, knowing him or them to be such. Further, I will not cheat, wrong, nor defraud a Master Mason's Lodge, nor a brother of this Degree, knowingly, nor supplant him in any of his laudable undertakings, but will give him due and timely notice, that he may ward off all danger. Further, that I will not knowingly strike a brother Master Mason, or otherwise do him personal violence in anger, except in the necessary defence of my family or property. Further, that I will not have illegal carnal intercourse with a Master Mason's wife, his mother, sister, or daughter, nor suffer the same to be done by others, if in my power to prevent. Further, that I will not give the Grand Masonic word, in any other manner or form than that in which I shall receive it, and then in a low breath. Further, that I will not give the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress, except in case of the most imminent danger, in a just and lawful Lodge, or for the benefit of instruction; and if ever I should see it given, or hear the words accompanying it, by a worthy brother in distress, I will fly to his relief, if there is a greater probability of saving his life than losing my own. All this I most solemnly, sincerely promise and swear, with a firm and steady resolution to perform the same, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind what-ever, binding myself, under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of heaven, that no more remembrance might be had of so vile and wicked a wretch as I would be, should I ever, knowingly, violate this my Master Mason's obligation. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.}
So as the Mason progresses towards 'illumination' there is an increase in the depth of loyalty, but with that comes an increase in the severity of punishment. At the first degree the candidate promises to never reveal the secrets of Masonry to anyone outside Masonry, but if he does so then he can expect to have his throat cut and his tongue cut out. At second degree the candidate extends that promise to helping another Fellow Craft on receiving the Fellow Craft SOS signal and not to defraud another Fellow Craft Mason, but if he does then he can expect to have his chest torn open and his heart pulled out and fed to the vultures. At the third degree the candidate extends that oath further to keep the secrets of a Brother Master Mason, murder and treason excepted, assist the family of another Master Mason in times of need, not to hit a Brother Master Mason, or have sex with the mother, wife or daughter of a Brother Master Mason, but if he does so then he can expect to have his body cut in two and his bowels removed and burned. At each initiation the candidate is told some bollocks supposed to be secrets of Freemasonry, but he is also given a password, and signals are revealed to the candidate to help members of each degree to identify one another, while at the same time experiencing some bizarre rituals. This all seems quite innocent and perhaps just men having a bit of fun and playing out some harmless rituals. But what is contained in the oaths above these degrees?
The oath for the York Rite 7th degree, Royal Arch Mason, contains this;
"I furthermore promise and swear, that I will employ a Companion Royal Arch Mason in preference to any other person of equal qualifications, I furthermore promise and swear, that I will assist a Companion Royal Arch Mason when I see him engaged in any difficulty, and will espouse his cause so far as to extricate him from the same, whether he be right or wrong."
This is where the real action is, isn't it? The Blue Degrees are for gimps, and you are always expected to respond to a cry for help from a Mason giving the recognised distress signal. The upper degrees are where you start to get the preferential treatment, and fellow masons prepared to help you out, whether you be right or wrong. But does this mean even committing perjury, or even finding a fellow Royal Arch Mason not guilty even though he be as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a steaming pile of pooh? Oh yes!!
So, compare these;
Who is he more likely to align himself with and support? Where will his loyalty lie?
I can well understand President John Quincy Adams when he said,
"A more perfect agent for the devising and execution of conspiracies against church or state could scarcely have been conceived."
George Washington was a Mason. He joined Fredericksburg, Va., Lodge No. 4 and reached the top degree at that time, the third degree, in 1753. He then stopped attending lodges, but did not renounce his Masonic oaths, resign from any lodge, be it British or French, or protest his leadership role, and in fact continued to extol the virtues of 'the craft'. But, as stated, it was Washington who had the final say on the street design and architecture of the new capital city to be named after him, Washington DC, which contains the satanic inverted, irregular and incomplete pentagram, as well as other Masonic symbols. So, because he was still under Masonic oath, was Washington taking orders, or acquiescing to requests, from someone, another Master Mason perhaps, to blindly accept the proposed design, or did he really know what lay therein?
Captain William Morgan was a Mason, having received the Royal Arch degree of the York Rite in 1825. The oath of the Royal Arch degree is given above. Morgan felt Masonry was corrupt, and decided to expose it. His book, entitled Illustrations of Masonry by One of the Fraternity, was published posthumously in 1827. Morgan's disappearance in 1826, at around the same time his book was being prepared for publication, led many to suspect that Masonry had abducted and murdered a free American because he was about to expose them. One of those who strongly believed in this hypothesis was John Quincy Adams, who at the time was President of the USA.
A corpse was found on the shores of Lake Ontario. Mrs Morgan gave all unique identifying marks on Morgan's body, and upon inspection the corpse had all of them, thus indicating that the corpse was that of Morgan. However, about a year later a Mrs Monroe from Canada claimed that the clothes the corpse was wearing were those of her missing husband Timothy, but she could not supply the same unique identifying marks that Mrs Morgan had. The hair colour and style were not those of Monroe, but of Morgan. The teeth were not those of Monroe, but of Morgan. This implies the corpse was Morgan's but in Monroe's clothes.
Morgan's publisher Thurlow Weed later made a sworn statement on 28th September 1882, entitled On The Abduction of Captain Morgan, in which Weed states that he was told by the Masonic abductors of Morgan what actually happened. According to Weed, Morgan was indeed abducted by several Masons who advised him to leave the USA for Canada for the sum of $500. Apparently Morgan agreed to this, and was taken on several relay horse rides to eventually reach the shores of Lake Ontario. Morgan was then coaxed into a boat to cross the lake. Morgan was then entrapped in the boat with his murderers and during this boat journey Morgan's hands and feet were bound, weights were attached to the bounds and Morgan was forcibly thrown overboard, though he did manage some resistance. Weed says he was entrusted with this information under the agreement that he never reveal it until his source was dead.
No pro-Masonic website I have read addresses Weed's sworn statement.
In a letter to W L Stone in 1833, John Quincy Adams, ex-President of the USA and member of the Anti-Masonic party, wrote
Freemasonry, corporate Freemasonry, is chargeable with the stealing of a free citizen, and the murder of a father and husband. The proof of this subject is perfectly conclusive, and is to be found in the reports of the trials of the kidnappers of William Morgan, and in the official accounts given by different special Attornies. It is responsible for having baffled inquiry, for having defeated investigation by the removal of witnesses, and for having produced the acquital of persons notoriously guilty. It has been decided by Judge Marcy in New York, and by two sets of triers at a circuit court held by Judge Gardiner, in the same state, and by a court in Rhode Island, that the obligations of Freemasons disqualified a man from being an impartial juror in a case where a brother mason was a party; and such undoubtedly is the law of the land. The Grand Lodge of New York has given one hundred dollars, in charity, to one of the most guilty kidnappers of Morgan. The Grand Chapter of the same state has given one thousand dollars to aid and sustain other well known kidnappers, and to enable them to escape from justice, at a time when they had no money to bestow, in charity, to widows and orphans. This has recently been established in the trial of a libel suit, brought by Jacob Gould, which was tried at Albany, New York. But perhaps the most remarkable evidence of the binding force of masonic obligations and of the real power of the fraternity, is afforded in the conduct of those who control the newspapers of the country. When the English forger, Stephenson, was kidnapped in a distant state, and brought forcibly to New York, the whole country rang with the alarm which was sounded by the newspapers and every patriot was called on to resent this invasion of personal liberty. But when a free citizen of America was dragged from his family, forcibly carried through the country and drowned in the deep waters of the Niagra, a death-like silence pervaded the newspapers; or if they spoke, it was to notice the outrage in terms of irony and as a trifling and unimportant affair. The papers of every party teemed with the most gross misrepresentations; a simultaneous attack was made on all who were engaged in discovering the offenders; fabricated accounts of Morgan having been seen at different and distant places were incessantly circulated, and every effort was made to delude the public and mislead inquiry. How tremendously powerful must have been that organization, which could produce this shameful treachery of the press to it’s public duties! These facts are as notorious as the sun at noon-day, and a stronger proof of their general truth cannot be adduced, than the single circumstance, that to this day, thousands and millions of reading citizens of this country are ignorant of the history of Morgan’s abduction and murder, and are totally uninformed of the abominations of freemasonry.
The Illuminati were created on the 1st May 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. At first there were only five members. They were,
Weishaupt and the leaders of Freemasonry reached an agreement to unite in December 1781. At the Freemasonic Congress at Wilhelmsbad in July 1782 it is believed this union was formalised, and a plan revealed. Weishaupt attended. Other attendees included Cagliostro, Comte Saint Germain, Louis Claude de St Martin, Thomas Paine and Anton Mesmer. Another attendee was Comte de Virieu. In his biography de Virieu said that from the Congress of Wilhelmsbad he brought back "tragic secrets". When questioned on these secrets he replied,
"I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out that it will be, so to speak, impossible for the monarchy and the Church to escape from it."
Comte de Virieu would then only speak of Freemasonry with horror.
Cagliostro was initiated into the Illuminati in 1783, in an underground room somwhere near Frankfurt, Germany. He told Catholic priests that his initiation ran thus;
An iron box filled with papers was opened. The introducers took from it a manuscript book [which] on the first page read: "We Grand Masters of the Templars...", then followed a form of oath, traced in blood. The book stated that Illuminism was a conspiracy directed against thrones and altars, and that the first blows were to attain France, then after the fall of the French Monarchy, Rome must be attacked.
Cagliostro was instrumental in the scandalous "Affair of the Necklace" in 1785 which seriously damaged the French monarchy in preparation for the French Revolution.
In 1783 Baron von Knigge, the No. 3 in the Illuminati, left the order when he discovered that Weishaupt was seriously worshipping the powers of hell. In 1785 several members followed von Knigge and left the Illuminati. A board of inquiry had been formed in Bavaria to look into rumours of the intent of the Illuminati, and the testimony from these ex-Illuminati members revealed that intent, which was
All religion, all love of country and loyalty to sovereigns, were to be annihilated...every effort was to be made to create discord not only between princes and their subjects but even between parents and their children, whilst suicide was to be encouraged by inculcating in men's minds the idea that the act of killing oneself afforded a certain voluptuous pleasure.
Following the inquiry, on 11th October 1786 the Bavarian authorities raided the house of Herr von Zwack, a lawyer and No. 2 in the Illuminati. They discovered documents which,
...laid bare the methods of the conspirators. Here were found descriptions of a strong box for safeguarding papers which if forced open should blow up...a composition which should blind and kill if squirted in the face; a method of counterfeiting seals; recipes for poisonous perfumes that would fill a bedroom with pestilential vapours, and a tea to procure abortion. A defense of Atheism and materialism entitled "Better than Horus" was also discovered, and a paper in the handwriting of Zwack describing the plan for enlisting women...
Following the discovery of these documents, and other documents found in the homes of other members of the Illuminati, the Bavarian authorities undertook a more thorough investigation into the Illuminati and came to the conclusion that the Illuminati were planning to take control of the world through what is now called Communism. The Bavarian government then published its findings and the Illuminati documents in a report called Original Writings of the Order of the Illuminati, and sent a copy to every government in Europe. The Illuminati were banned, and arrest warrants were issued for the leaders. Zwack fled to England, while Weishaupt fled to Switzerland, and eventually found sanctuary in the House of Saxe-Gotha, from which the Monarchy of Great Britain come! The Rothschilds, whose ancestor had co-founded the Illuminati, then came to power in Great Britain and became arguably the major force and financier in The City of London and The Bank of England.
But Weishaupt had foreseen their surpression. In a letter to Zwack, Weishaupt revealed that he had planned for the discovery and repression of the Illuminati;
"I have considered everything, and so prepared it that if the Order should this day go to ruin, I shall in a year re-establish it more brilliant than ever. By this plan we shall direct all mankind. In this manner and by the simplest means, we shall set all in motion and in flames."
So, did Weishaupt re-establish the Illuminati, and in the UK? I believe it is possible and probable that he did. The French Revolution indicates this.
In 1776, the year the Illuminati was founded, Mirabeau wrote a memoir entitled, Memoir concerning an intimate association to be established in the Order of Freemasonry so as to bring it back to its true principles and to make it really tend to the good of humanity, drawn up by the F. Mirabeau, at present named Arcesilas, in 1776. Members of the Illuminati gave themselves code names. For example Weishaupt was "Spartacus", Zwack was "Cato". This memoir is summarised by Barthou in his biography of Mirabeau, The Life of Mirabeau, and Barthou says the memoir is very similar to the plans set out by Weishaupt. This then indicates that Mirabeau was at the least involved in the creation of the Illuminati, and may well have been a permanent member. The codename "Arcesilas" was known to have been used by another member of the Illuminati, Jakob Mauvillon. Mirabeau is said to have used the codename "Leonidas" later. So it would appear that Mirabeau was definitely involved with the Illuminati in some way, be it during its creation (which took several years) or after, right through to the French Revolution, during which he died. This damning memoir of Mirabeau is published in full by Mirabeau's adopted son Lucas de Montigny in his Mémoires of Mirabeau.
In 1789 Marquis de Luchet, friend of Mirabeau, wrote Essay on the Sect of The Illuminati, which began thus;
Deluded people! There exists a conspiracy in favor of despotism, against liberty, of incapacity against talent, of vice against virtue, of ignorance against Light! It is formed in the depths of the most impenetrable darkness, a society of new creatures who know each other without being seen, who understand themselves without explanation, who serve each other without friendship. The aim of this society is to rule the world, to appropriate the authority of sovereigns, to usurp their place, leaving them only the sterile honor of wearing the crown. It has adopted from the Jesuit regimen, blind obedience and the regicide principles of the seventeenth century. From the Freemasons, it has taken its trials and exterior ceremonies; from the Templars, its infernal evocations and bold unbelief. It employs the discoveries of physical science to impose upon the uninstructed multitude; it uses fashionable myths to arouse curiosity and inspire dedication; it goes back to the opinions of the ancients to get men used to commerce with intermediary spirits. Every species of error which afflicts the earth, every half-baked idea, every invention serves to fit the doctrines of the Illuminati...everything serves equally to their views, everything becomes cause and instrument; they reject nothing which is proscribed by the community of mankind. And none of this do they admit by conviction; they allow it to subsist as a method of multiplying opinions and trials ....a base upon which rests a new conspiracy. The aim is universal domination.
In 1785, during a period of shortage of food in France, it was announced that the Queen Marie Antionette had bought a beautiful and expensive diamond necklace. She had not ordered such an object, but the purchase had been engineered by Cagliostro, who had been inducted into the Illuminati by Weishaupt as described above. This helped to sway French public opinion against their Royal family. Marie Antionette had received a number of warnings of Freemasonry, but ignored them only seeing the public face of charity that the lower degrees of Freemasonry display. Marie Antionette was executed by guillotine in 1793...a lesson for us all to learn from.
Phillip Egalite, Duc D'Orleans, the Grand Master of French Freemasonry and member of the Illuminati, was encouraged to start the revolution with calls for reform of the Monarchy, and was led to believe by the would-be revolutionaries that he would be made ruler should his revolution succeed. However, once the revolution got going and Egalite had voted for the execution of his cousin the King, he was arrested, tried and executed for betraying the revolution and helping his Bourbon relatives escape. Egalite was an ally of British Foreign Minister Lord Shelburne and had manipulated Necker into the position of French Finance Minister. Necker failed to stop France financing the American revolutionaries, but did manage to drive French finances into chaos in preparation for the revolution. Mirabeau, another close ally of Shelburne and founder of the Illuminati, had also risen to a position where he could guide the revolution, but he died in 1791 by poisoning after he tried to save the King and install himself as King's adviser. After Mirabeau came the Jacobins Marat, Danton and Robespierre. While Lord Shelburne's allies, Mirabeau and Egalite, were kick starting the revolution and paying with their lives for it, Shelburne had created a radical writer's shop at Bowood run by Jeremy Bentham and Samuel Romilly. Bentham wrote radical speeches, which were translated into French and smuggled into France where they were delivered by Marat, Danton and Robespierre. The British East India Company paid these three for their services in the French Revolution. Marat was murdered in his bath by a member of an opposing faction, the Girondists. Marquis de Sade, the member of the inner ring of the Illuminati who had spent the early years of the revolution in prison for sodomy and poisioning and upon his release in 1790 quickly gained positions of power, wrote Marat's eulogy. Danton was arrested by the Jacobins, with Robespierre's consent, for not being violent enough and having gone soft, and was executed by the guillotine. Robespierre also began to doubt what he had done. In a speech to the Convention on 28th July 1794, Robespierre almost let slip who was really behind the revolution and all the blood that had been spilled in the Red Terror;
'I dare not name them at this moment and in this place. I cannot bring myself entirely to tear asunder the veil that covers this profound mystery of iniquity. But I can affirm most positively that among the authors of this plot are the agents of that system of corruption and extravagance, the most powerful of all the means invented by foreigners for the undoing of the Republic; I mean the impure apostles of atheism, and the immorality that is at its base'.That same night Robespierre was shot in the jaw, and the next day he was executed by guillotine .
The French were major allies and financiers of the American Revolution. There are two ways of looking at the French Revolution.
