the illuminati
A Concise Appraisal by Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi
&
The Illuminati is considered by a
significant number of people to be a covert force that has created or taken
over groups and organisations to manipulate the world in their desired
direction and that it is now part of a global elite sometimes described as the
New World Order. The Illuminati is believed to be a leading vehicle for
manipulation, but by no means the sole vehicle. What follows is strictly a
viewpoint from the perspective of those who subscribe to the existence of a
global elite or New World Order, and is not necessarily embraced by Ecclesia
Apostolica Sancti Graal. It is proffered here for those seeking subjective
information.
Adam Weishaupt was a Bavarian Illuminati
who, on 1st May 1776, with the financial support of the House of
Rothschild, founded a German expression of Illuminism. However, the Bavarian
seers can be traced back to a 16th century Muslim cult of
illuminated men called the Roshaniya in Afghanistan. Weishaupt produced the
“Law of Fives.” His original inner council was structured around the pentagram.
This inner council comprised of five men: Weishaupt’s friend, Kölmer, Sir
Francis Dashwood (of the satanic Hellfire Club), Alphonse Donatién de Sade
(from whom derives the word “sadism”), Meyer Amschel Rothschild (founder of the
powerful banking house) and Weishaupt himself who used his wing of the
Illuminati to infiltrate and control Freemasonry. Baron Adolf von Knigge, a Mason of
considerable standing, joined Weishaupt in 1782 and helped infiltrate European
Masonry for anti-Christian, anti-monarchial, anti-social and pro-revolutionary
ends. Other notable members were Councillor Xavier von Zwack, Dietrich (Mayor
of Strasbourg), Baron Thomas Bassus, Canon Hertel, Baron William von Busche,
Marquis Saint Germain de Constanzo, Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, Duke Ernest of
Gotha, and the author Johann W Goethe. Meanwhile, Weishaupt created thirteen
degrees of initiation in his Illuminati and the key personnel were to be found
in the top nine degrees. These people became members of other secret societies,
not only the Freemasons, and “illuminised” them ~ took them over and used them
to destabilise nations and hasten the New World Order by fostering controlled
chaos. They are alleged to have done the same within governments, banking,
commerce, the military, and the media. Masonry, welcoming many powerful
occultists and sorcerers into its highest ranks, went on to secretly infiltrate
the pulpits, sessions, committees and other offices of leadership in the main churches.
The Illuminati’s greatest weapon is considered by most
researchers to be the advanced esoteric knowledge it has passed on through its
initiation ceremonies and the misuse and abuse of that knowledge. Hence most of
those working for the New World Order agenda do not know they are doing so. The
conspiracy could not exist if everyone involved was aware of the plot.
Manipulating the manipulators and controlling the controllers is therefore
essential to its success. Weishaupt taught that everything occurred in fives.
Human history, he believed, came in a cycle of five stages: (1) Chaos, the
starting point of all societies. It related, in Weishaupt’s mind, to the goddess
cults of antiquity; especially to the worship of Lilith, Eris, Diana, or Kali.
(2) Dicord, where a ruling class emerges and seizes control. Weishaupt related
this period to introduction of the worship of Marduk or Osiris. (3) Confusion,
where folk would attempt to restore a balance between the two preceding forces.
He related this period to the child-god Loki or Horus or to a kind of devil.
(4) Bureaucracy, the result of the synthesis of stage 3 failing. A spiritual
void where absolutely no deity would be acknowledged. People cannot abide this
void and escape into fantasy, drugs, or madness. During this phase the
destruction of the middle class takes place. (5) Aftermath, where society
implodes and reverts to chaos. The bureaucracy crashes under the weight of its
own red tape and things spiral out of control. Magic and nature now rule again,
and the cycle is in preparation to begin again. Hence the Scottish Rite 32°
motto: “Order from Chaos.”
By dovetailing his Illuminati with
Masonic Lodges, Weishaupt had built the power base he needed. He felt the stage
was set for the destruction of all social institutions of the Continent.
Revolutionary France was very much an experiment in Illuminism. Had God, or
nature, not intervened, all Europe might well have gone the way of France and
the then coming “Terror.” Weishaupt’s infiltration of Masonry might have been
complete had not an Illuminati courier been blown off his horse and killed by a
lightning stroke in 1785. The courier was carrying papers written in the cipher
of Illuminism, and dealt with the plans of the Illuminati to subvert the Masons
and the governments of Europe. The Illuminati were obliged to go underground;
yet still greatly influenced the Grand Orient Lodge and the occult rites of
Memphis and Mizraim (Egyptian Freemasonry).
The illustration (above) shows symbols on a tracing board
used in the third degree of Craft Masonry. In the legend of the 3°, Hiram Abiff
is personated by the candidate who is “slain” by a blow with a setting maul,
buried in a grave due east-west, with an acacia tree planted over the grave to
conceal it. The legend of Osiris of the Egyptian Mysteries parallels that of
Hiram Abiff of Masonry in every detail. Craft Masonry consists of the three
degrees: “Entered Apprentice,” “Fellow-Craft,” and “Master Mason.” These three
degrees inspired the three degrees of modern witchcraft whose principal
inspiration has been Aleister Crowley, himself initiated in 1900 into
the Ancient and Accepted (Scottish) Rite, and in 1904 initiated into Craft Freemasonry in Anglo Saxon Lodge Number 343
(recognised from 1964 by the Grand Orient Lodge as Number 103). In circa
1910, Crowley enetered the degrees of 33°, 90° and 95° respectively in the Rite
of Memphis and Mizraim. Following a further elevation to 96°, Crowley concentrated
his Masonic tendencies in the Ordo Templi Orientis where sex magic and Satanism
feature strongly. Crowley was a Satanist without whom the occult explosion and
satanic revival of the 20th century might never have happened.
So there is Freemasonry and Illuminised Freemasonry. The
former manipulates at one level, but it, too, is being manipulated by another
covert force, the Illuminati, which, in turn, answers to the global elite of
the New World Order. There are organisations within organisations (eg
Freemasonry within government) and yet another organisation within those
organisations (the Illuminati within Freemasonry). This Illuminised form of Freemasonry became known as The Grand Orient
Lodges or faction. It is said to have followed the modified Hegelian tradition
of infiltrating two extremes and playing one off against the other to create
the desired change. Using these methods, it was pledged to overthrow the rule
of the monarchies, destroy faith in God, put an end to patriotism and nation
states, abolish the ownership of property and dismantle traditional social
order.
The vast majority of Freemasons in the
world never progress beyond the bottom three levels of degree. But above them
are another thirty levels in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and even the thirty-third degree is
not the top because there are the Illuminati levels above that (and even the
33° degree itself is unofficially divided into two streams, one knowing far
more than the other). Ninety percent of Freemasons are on the bottom three
levels. They are the fodder and the front. Between the fourth and thirty-third
degrees are those of the “right mind” who have influence in society, right up
to the presidents of the United States. Then you have the Illuminati levels
that you will not find mentioned in any Freemasons’ guidebook. Those are the
people who are believed to actually run the show and are the agents of the New
World Order.
World Freemasonry, then, is a massive pyramid of
manipulation. See illustration below:
The decision to put the Illuminati and
New World Order symbol on the American one dollar note was made by the
thirty-third degree Freemason, Franklin D Roosvelt, in 1935, with the full support
and encouragement of his vice president Henry Wallace, another thirty-third
degree Mason. The leaders of the American War of Independence, including those
who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were virtually all
Freemasons. The first president of the United States, George Washington, was a
high ranking Freemason. John Adams, the second president, belonged to a secret
society known as The Dragons. Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of
the United States, was the first Grand Master of the Freemasons in
Pennsylvania. He became a friend of Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the
notorious British Hellfire Club secret society. Franklin also became a high
ranking member of lodges in league with Grand Orient Lodge in Paris that would trigger
the French Revolution in 1789. It is interesting to observe that the Latin
words beneath the pyramid on each one dollar bill ~ Novus Ordo Seclorum
~ translate as “New World Order.” The Illuminati seal with the all-seeing-eye
and pyramid are often used by powerful institutions. See examples below:

Broadcasting.

Likewise the same Freemasonic names ~
names like Rockefeller, Rothschild, Morgan, Harriman, Milner, Dulles, Warburg,
Roosvelt, House, and Baruch ~ within the Illuminati network are suspected of
being behind two World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the rise of tyrants, and
the constant manipulation of the financial system. These events are believed to
have kept humanity in fear and division, exactly as would be required by a
global manipulation strategy. See illustration below:
In times of war and peace the Illuminati
pervert justice in pursuit of their own goals and for the protection offered
against penalties warranted by personal acts. Masonic allegiance is always to
their brotherhood. Their goals encompass self-aggrandisement, profit, and
control of the world through deception or any means available that serves their
purpose. Wars not only provide profit for armaments manufacturers and munitions
dealers, but also serves to disrupt the politics of governments; thus making
control more easily obtainable. Wars and other conflicts can also provide a
boost to troubled national economies. To achieve their goals they would have
little concern for the disruption of family life, or the suffering and deaths
of millions. Their own membership would have little concern as they would be
protected from conscription or given safe assignments away from front-line
fighting ~ at least, those in the higher ranks. Is it just coincidence that
Americans have become involved in so many wars since their independence?
Revolutionary War: provoked by the
Boston Tea Party was the activity of Masons. Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere,
George Washington, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, Patrick Henry, and some of
those who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. All but
two of the generals of the Revolutionary War were Masons.
Civil War: Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses
Grant were Masons in waiting.
Second World War: Franklin D Roosevelt
and Harry S Truman were both Masons. Four cities in Japan were originally
considered as military targets on which to drop the two atomic bombs. One of
these cities, Kyoto, was removed from the list because of its religious and
historical significance to Japan. The only city with a large population of
Christians was chosen as a replacement even though it had far less strategic
military significance. The largest of the two bombs dropped on Japan was
reserved for Christian Nagasaki, the city with the least military significance
of the four. This city was chosen with the approval of President Truman.
Korean War: President Truman, a Mason,
announced on 27th June 1950 his order to send US air and naval
forces into South Korea despite the fact that the United States had begun
withdrawing its troops from South Korea in 1948. As late as January 1950,
Secretary of State Dean Acheson had implied that the Korea Peninsula lay
outside the all-important “defence perimeter” of the United States, a statement
that some took to mean that the US would not defend the rest of Korea from
communist attack.
Vietnam War: Lyndon Baines Johnson, a
Mason, decided that more aggressive action was needed over the continuing
political problems in Saigon. The Johnson administration argued for expansive
war powers for the president after suspected attacks on two US ships in the
Gulf of Tonkin. However, Vo Nguyen Giap, the DRV’s leading military figure at
the time, and Johnson’s Secretary of Defence, Robert S MacNamara, have recently
concluded that no second attack ever took place. In any event, the Johnson
administration used the “second attack” to secure a Congressional resolution
that gave the president broad war powers.
Persian Gulf War: Forty-five Democrats
filed a suit in Washington on 20th November 1990 to have President
George H Bush, a Mason, first seek Congressional approval of military
operations. This was to be eventually thrown out. On 16th January
1991, the first US government statement on Operation Desert Storm was
made.
War on Terror: With the foundations laid by President
William Clinton and completed under President George W Bush (both are members
of the Masonic Skull and Bones Society) the world now has the beginnings of the supposed
21st century “war on terror.” This has witnessed an escalation of
unrest, violence and conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, India, and the
Middle East.
Winston Churchill, in spite (or perhaps because) of his own
Freemasonic membership and knowledge, was to nonetheless admit:
“From the days of [Adam] Weishaupt to
those of Karl Marx (Moses Mordecai Levy) and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kuhn
(Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this
world conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution
of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence and
impossible equality, has been steadily growing.”
The Sunday Times, 16th
April 1995, reported: “In future, scientists want to insert electronic chips
into our heads so we can plug directly into the information highway. British
researchers are among international teams working on an implant to translate
human thought into computer language. In a generation, one group says, people
with a peppercorn-sized chip in the back of the neck will be able to talk to
machines.” Or, perhaps, the machines will be able to talk to them? The story of
Dr Carl W Sanders was reported in Nexus in the summer of 1994. He said
he attended seventeen meetings of the One-Worlders in places like Brussels and
Luxemburg. The meetings, he claimed, were “tying together the finances of the
world.” Dr Sanders said: “I was at one meeting where it was discussed: ‘How can
you control a people if you can’t identify them?’ People like Henry Kissinger
and CIA folk attended these meetings. It was discussed: ‘How do you make people
aware of the need for something like this chip?’ All of a sudden the idea came:
‘Let’s make them aware of lost children etc.’ This was discussed in
meetings almost like people were cattle. The CIA came up with the idea of
putting pictures of lost children on milk cartons. Since the chip is now accepted,
you don’t see the pictures anymore, do you? It’s served its purpose.” Dr
Sanders said the manipulators want the chip to contain a name and a picture of
the person’s face, an international Social Security number, fingerprint
identification, physical description, family history, address, occupation,
income tax information, and criminal record. The chip recharges itself by
turning the changes in body temperature into a dynamo system and the most
effective places they have found for this are the forehead and the back of the
wrist.
If things go to plan it is believed that
a joint identity/money card with all personal details will be on the implanted
chip. All transactions will then be recorded by a global computer. The “mark of
the beast,” the microchip, is thought to be intended to be moved from the smart
card to the human body when a story can be hatched to persuade people to accept
it. Some researchers suggest that the human bar-coding system will include
three sets of six digits in the computer ~ hence 666, “the number of the
beast.” The technology now being developed will allow every thought and action
to be monitored.
“And he [the beast or
Antichrist] causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor,
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on
their forehead, and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell,
except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of
his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of
the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is 666.”
(Revelation 13: 16-18)
Whatever
the truth might or might not be about the Illuminati, and it is not being
suggested that the claims reported above are anything more than a subjective
viewpoint held by those who subscribe to the existence of Illuminist global
manipulation by a shadowy New World Order, there is one path that invariably
thwarts its grip. That path is not an easy one, but it is the only Way.
“For even Satan disguises himself as an angel of
light. Therefore it is not surprising
if his servants
also disguise themselves as servants of
righteous-
ness; whose end shall be according to
their deeds.”
