Part 1 By Juan von Trillion This first part of a series takes verified quotes from certain "important people" and looks for connections and explanations to our current situation, which is less than orderly. We have probably all read about some of the major dark forces that seem to permeate our human existence. Some say they are rather recent, two or three centuries old. Others point to evidence that this dark, hidden force, hidden to most people's eyes, not necessarily their hearts, is thousands of years old. And that it was here before we arrived. From wherever that was, a mystery in itself. We may imagine them as a group of male, white old farts who are plotting to own and control it all, but many rightly point out that the intelligence behind multi-generational manipulations is too structured and pervasive and knows too much about our deeper primate psychology. Maybe nobody is in charge, and no, I don't mean the blogger of same name, and yes, a nod to Terence McKenna is appropriate for borrowing his expression, which will be returned in pristine condition after using it. Let's look at what a few of the certified bigwigs have said about this pyramid capstone, the top of the hierarchy, this eye in the triangle on top of a thirteen-stepped pyramid with "1776" inscribed at its base, the big kahuna, the top dog. In other words: the cheese. These are the people who started talking about and working towards a New World Order, which is incidentally the name of Adolf Hitler's second book. Duke of Brunswick, Grand Master of German Freemasonry, 1794 Here is a major lodge-head with a powdered wig on it who was not happy about things in his club. Check out his shoes and the feather boa. Any order run by someone (or something) else is clearly a dis-order, can we agree? It is an un-order, a non-order, someone-else's-order, and definitely not your orderly order. Not something you can proudly show to your kids, much less to your fellow lodge people. In three letters, the Duke of Brunswick was saying WTF. Here is what he said: In 1794 the Duke of Brunswick, the Grand Master of German Freemasonry wrote a letter to his brethren recommending the dissolution of the entire organization, due to the fact that it had been infiltrated and was being manipulated by unseen hands. Do not miss his last phrase. "I have been convinced that we, as an Order, have come under the power of some very evil occult Order, profoundly versed in science, both occult and otherwise, though not infallible, their methods being black magic, that is to say, electromagnetic power, hypnotism, and powerful suggestion. We are convinced that the Order is being controlled by some Sun Order, after the nature of the Illuminati, if not by that Order itself. We see our edifice ... crumbling and covering the ground with ruins, we see the destruction that our hands no longer arrest ... a great sect arose, which taking for its motto the good and the happiness of man, worked in the darkness of the conspiracy to make the happiness of humanity a prey for itself. This sect is known to everyone, its brothers are known no less than its name. It is they who have undermined the foundations of the Order to the point of complete overthrow; it is by them that all humanity has been poisoned and led astray for several generations ... They began by casting odium on religion ... Their masters had nothing less in view than the thrones of the earth, and the governments of the nations was to be directed by their nocturnal clubs ... the misuse of our order ... has produced all the political and moral troubles with which the world is filled today ... we must from this moment dissolve the whole Order" So the Duke, as he wanted to be called, essentially confirms that Freemasonry was successfully infiltrated and has been taken over since at least the Council of Wilhelmsbad, Germany, in 1780. An understanding was finally reached between the Masons and the Illuminati, and on December 20, 1781, a combined Order was proposed which would add to the Illuminati organization the first three degrees of Masonry. It wasn't until the Congress of Wilhelmsbad from July 16th to August 29th, 1781 (which was attended by Masons, Martinistes, and representatives from other secret organizations from Europe, America and Asia) that the alliance was official. Those at the meeting were put under oath not to reveal anything. Comte de Virieu, a Mason from the Martiniste lodge at Lyons, upon his return home when questioned about the Congress said: "I will not confide [the details] 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 it." He later denounced the Illuminati and became a devout Catholic. We would need some sort of "official" statement that the Illuminati were weeded out from Freemasonry in order to put the matter to rest. To my knowledge, nobody has ever claimed that they got rid of the Illuminati. Keep in mind that they have probably changed names several times since the period where one had to wear a wig to be hip. The Bavarian government disbanded the Illuminati in 1786, but they immediately regrouped and sprouted like a clipped plant: all the more powerful, and all over the place. Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminati, 1776 The founder of the Illuminati, or let's call him the original frontman, Adam Weishaupt, a "marrano", a converted Jew (who didn't really convert) and who taught Roman Catholic law in Ingolstadt, Germany, and acting on behalf of Rothschild's wallet, could only nod in agreement. He wrote in his journal that Freemasonry was an excellent host for this parasite: "The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labors, we may turn the public mind which way we will. In like manner we must try to obtain an influence in the military academies (this may be of mighty consequence) the printing-houses, booksellers' shops, chapters, and in short in all offices which have any effect, either in forming, or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man: painting and engraving are highly worth our care." Today, we would add to the influence to be gained over: TV and mass media, internet, Hollywood, public figures and celebrities, Poop Culture, corporations, that little special country, at the very least. Guiseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) Weishaupt died in 1830, and Guiseppe Mazzini, an Italian patriot and revolutionary leader, was appointed head of the Illuminati in 1834. It was believed that Weishaupt rejoined the Catholic Church with a deathbed repentance. While attending Genoa University, Giuseppe Mazzini became a 33rd degree Mason and joined a secret organization known as the Carbonari (their stated goal in 1818: "Our final aim is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution -- the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately all Christianity."), where he became committed to the cause of Italian unity. Mazzini, who became known as the 'Evil Genius of Italy,' tried to carry on the activities of Illuminati through the Alta Vendita Lodge, the highest lodge of the Carbonari. In 1860, Giuseppe Mazzini had formed an organization called the 'Oblonica,' a name derived from the Latin 'obelus', which means: "I beckon with a spit (dagger)." Within this group, he established an inner circle called the Mafia. It was this band of criminals that Mazzini gave the name 'Mafia', which was an acronym for Mazzini, Autorizza, Furti, Incendi, and Avvelengmenti. Known as the Mafiosi, they were authorized by Mazzini to commit thefts, arson and murder. It was this organization that came to America during the 1890's with the beginning of Italian immigration. This is the most astounding quote of all in this brief exposé. Mazzini, head of the Illuminati, who are themselves the head of Freemasonry, said: "We form an association of brothers in all points of the globe ... yet there is one unseen that can hardly be felt, yet it weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows ... or at least no one tells. This association is secret even to us the veterans of the Secret Societies." Mazzini was no slouch at doing subversive things, plotting and scheming. From above quote there is one "association", or one "brother", depending how you read it, that/who is of unknown origin, with an unknown location, and it is as secret to the secret societies as the secret societies try to be to the general public. Sounds like a double conspiracy. Do two conspiracies in one even each other out to zero? That would be great, but tangible reality around us indicates that it is too early to pop the corks just yet. With this in mind, let us start to fade out for now with a quote from british writer Nesta Webster (1876-1960), a researcher of secret societies: "The art of illuminism lay in enlisting dupes as well as adepts and by encouraging dreams of honest visionaries or the schemes of fanatics; By flattering the vanity of ambitious egotists; By working on unbalanced brains or by playing such passions as greed and power to make men of totally divergent aims serve the secret purpose of the sect. People with money were welcomed but kept oblivious of actual secrets. The purpose is to win power and riches. To undermine secular or religious government and attain the masters of the world." George Washington, Freemason and first President of the USA George does not need much of an introduction. Here is the most interesting phrase he came up with, and it really takes the biscuit: "I have heard much of the nefarious and dangerous plan of the Illuminati ... It was not my intention to doubt that the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism, had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am." One wonders ... who the hell are these people working for? Even they wonder.
