R. Church's Guardians of The Grail 1989My copy of this book was already an old used copy when I first obtained it years ago, I think when Church was still with us, everything highlighted and underlined in it was already like that when I got it. I used to be a big fan of <u>Prophecy In The News</u> but never agreed with them on everything and over the last decade my views on a lot of subjects have changed.<br />
<br />
This book is an American Evangelical Christian response to/appropriation of the <u>Holy Blood, Holy Grail</u>/Priory of Sion conspiracy theory before it was cool, before <u>The DaVinci Code</u> made it a mainstream cultural phenomenon.<br />
<br />
Starting on page 14 is a genealogy of the supposed Grail Bloodline that has a lot of historical errors in it. But I don't know how much that is Church's own fault and how much comes from the original Priory of Sion hoax documents forged by Pierre Plantard.<br />
<br />
It starts as a genealogy of the Merovingian Dynasty which seems pretty accurate down to Dagobert II. Then it lists a Sigisbert IV as a son of Dagobert II which is the foundational claim of the Priory of Sion hoax. It's not impossible that Dagobert II had a son not known to the contemporary historians because of how weak our documentation of that era is in general, and also because the Merovingians tended to delay Baptizing and officially naming their children. So it's a plausible claim, but right now any genealogy listing Dagobert II as having a known documented son is doing so based on that hoax.<br />
<br />
So everyone on this list from Sigisbert IV until the first Eustace of Boulogne is probably purely the fiction of the original hoax. I don't know whether or not the original hoax claimed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_of_Bouillon" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" title="">Godfrey of Bouillon</a> and his brothers were part of this bloodline or if that was simply added by Crusades Nerds later. Their real Pater-Lineal ancestry can only be traced back as far as Baldwin I Margrave of Flanders who lived in the 800s and married a daughter of Charles The Bald an heir of Charlemagne. It's not impossible he descended from an unknown cadet branch of the Merovingians, but it can't be proven.<br />
<br />
This genealogy then makes two weird mistakes at the First Crusade generation. 1. It claims they had a sister named Alex who was married to Henry IV Holy Roman Emperor which is not the case, all known children of Eustace II of Boulogne were sons. Henry IV had a couple different wives, none were directly related to the houses of Boulogne or Flanders. 2. It merges Baldwin I of Jerusalem who was a brother of Godfrey with Baldwin II of Jerusalem who descended from different noble houses, so that it can claim one individual has both the ancestors of Baldwin I and descendants of Baldwin II.<br />
<br />
The next weird error is pretty much claiming all descendants of Fulk V of Anjou King of Jerusalem descended from Melisande of Jerusalem, in fact the Plantagenet Dynasty as well as other later Counts of Anjou descended from Fulk V's first wife.<br />
<br />
However the most randomly weird claim of the genealogy is that Philip II Augustus of France was a son of Henry II of England. That one really baffles me.<br />
<br />
But from Philip II Augustus of France down to Karl Von Habsburg on page 18 it is accurate. The next section which is about tracing the Holy Roman Emperors to the Habsburgs I can't comment on, I haven't looked into that history nearly as much.<br />
<br />
The main objective of this genealogy is to trace the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Valois-Anjou">House of Valois-Anjou</a> to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lorraine#House_of_Habsburg-Lorraine">House of Habsburg-Lorraine</a>. Amusingly the Valois Dynasty does descend from Henry II of England.<br />
<br />
The Kings of France descend from Henry II of England starting with Louis IX and his full brother Charles of Anjou. Their maternal grandmother was Eleanor of England a daughter of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Meanwhile their paternal Grandmother descended from a daughter of Fulk V, and was also descended from the counts of Hainaut (another offshoot of Flanders) through a sister of the first Latin Emperors.<br />
<br />
Louis IX was the direct Paterlineal ancestor of Charles Valois as well as the Bourbon Dynasty, and Charles of Anjou was the direct Paterlineal ancestor of <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_of_Naples" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" title="">Margaret, Countess of Anjou and Maine</a> the wife of Charles Valois from whom he inherited his claim to Anjou. Charles Valois through his mother descended from Agnes of Antioch a granddaughter of a sister of Melisande, and from Yolanda of Flanders & Peter II of Courtenay, as well as Eudokia Komnene a Byzantine Princess.<br />
<br />
I talked about the Valois Dynasty including a little bit it's connection to Anjou in the post I made in April about the Crusader Crown of Jerusalem. But ultimately that focused more on the Burgundian branch of the Valois Dynasty which descended from the youngest son of King John II of France. The Valois-Anjou dynasty descends from an older son of John II, Louis I Duke of Anjou.<br />
<br />
Direct Paterlineal descent from the Valois-Anjou line ends with sons of Rene I of Anjou and so the line continued long term through his daughter Yolande of Anjou who married Frederick of Lorraine. In addition to being the progenitors of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty they also sired the Guise, the arch enemies of the Hugenots during the French Wars of Religion.<br />
<br />
Rene I of Anjou is also on the list of alleged Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion, but it's weird because that timeline has him Grand Master already as a nine year old in 1418. His family also played a role in the history of Jeanne d'Arc.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-87095218194215557392019-07-01T00:10:00.018-05:002021-12-11T20:22:27.548-06:00Illuminazi<div>[Update December 2021, this spot I never really took seriously but now I definitively want to state that's not a real thesis I endorse.]</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div>Did you know a direct line can be drawn from the Bavarian Illuminati to the Nazi Party?<br />
<br />
The Wikipedia Page on the origins of Nazism lists two major late 18th and early 19th German philosophers as the key progenitors of what would be become the Aryan Nazi Race theory.<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Origins">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Origins</a><br />
<br />
Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803)<br />
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814)<br />
<br />
Herder was a confirmed documented member of the Bavarian Illuminati and has also been called the founder of German Nationalism.<br />
<a href="https://projekte.uni-erfurt.de/illuminaten/Mitglieder_des_Illuminatenordens">https://projekte.uni-erfurt.de/illuminaten/Mitglieder_des_Illuminatenordens</a><br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Illuminati_members">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Illuminati_members</a><br />
<br />
Fichte was not a known Illuminati member but was a member of a later German society that Illuminati members were connected to and even ran. The Rudolstadt Masonic Lodge ‘Günther zum stehenden Löwen,’ ran by Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig von Beulwitz (1755–1829) the head of the Rudolstadt Illuminati since 1784.<br />
<br />
Other confirmed Illuminati members who anticipated Nazi ideas were.<br />
Christoph Meiners (1747-1810)<br />
Ludwig Timotheus Spittler (1752-1810)<br />
Samuel Thomas von Sommerring (1755-1830)<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Georg Forster 1754-1794 is someone Melanson considers a suspected Illuminatus but not quite a confirmed one in his discussion of Mathias Metternich (1747-1825).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_August_von_Hardenberg">Karl August Von Hardenberg</a> was another Illuminatus who had an influence on Prussian history that I feel helped lead to Nazism.<br />
<br />
However there are also important differences between each of these individuals beliefs and what would become Nazi ideology. The Nazis themselves very selectively used the writings of many who came before them.<br />
<br />
Some important philosophical middlemen between the Illuminati era and the Nazis would be Ernst Moritz Arndt, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, Arthur Schopenhauer, Franz Ignaz Pruner, Karl Vogt, August Schleicher, Paul de Lagarde, Heinrich von Treitschke, Ernst Haeckel, Adolf Stoecker, Georg Ritter von Schonerer, Bernhard Forster, Friedrich Ratzel, Max Liebermann von Sonnenberg, Emil Kirdorf, Guido von List, Ludwig Schemann, Theodor Fritsch, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Carl Peters, Wolfgang Kapp, Alfred Ploetz, Adolf Bartels, Hugo Bruckmann, J. F. Lehmann, Karl Maria Wiligut, Heinrich Claß, Dietrich Eckart, Franz Ritter von Epp and Karl Haushofer.<br />
<br />
Among the members of the German Nobility tied to the Illuminati were the House of Hesse-Kassel via Prince Charles, and other branches of Hesse like Darmstadt. The heirs of Hesse alive during WWII were among the minority of German Nobles who joined the Nazi Party, Christophe of Hesse was even an SS Member. Another nobleman to join the Nazi Party was Charles Edward Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was a direct Heir to Ernest II of Saxe-Gotha who harbored Adam Weishaupt. The then Duke of Brunswick was a Nazi too.<br />
<br />
While both the Nazi Party and Italian Fascism are Right Wing ideologies in the context of modern Politics, labeling them Reactionaries in the context of post French Revolution political upheavals would be misleading or at least an oversimplification. Both parties were in the beginning against restoring the old traditional Monarchy, however it was easier for Hitler to stick to that, Mussolini pretty much had to backtrack on his original positions and compromise with the King and the Vatican. They saw themselves as continuing not undoing the Revolutions, simply taking them in a different direction then Marxism.<br />
<br />
The roots of Italian Fascism can perhaps also be directly traced back to the Bavarian Illuminati. All you have to do is look at the Wikipedia pages for Mussolini’s father and Ghost Writers to see his ideology can be traced back to Carlo Pisacane, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Giuseppe Garibaldi. <br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Mussolini">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Mussolini</a><br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Gentile">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Gentile</a><br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agostino_Lanzillo">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agostino_Lanzillo</a><br />
<br />
Even though Mazzini was on the political Left in the context of his time he actually hated Karl Marx (and the feeling was mutual), he was anti Monarchy and anti Clerical but very strongly a Nationalist. Mazzini joined the Carbonari in 1827, but he’d later leave it to start his own similar organizations. The Carbonari's origins are difficult to fully pin down, but they could lie in the activities of some Italain Illuminati members like Francesco Mario Pagano (1748-1799) and Nicola Pacifico (1734-1799; alias: Franciscus Patricius). <br />
<br />
Among the Frenchmen known to be recruited to the Illuminati by Bode in 1787 was Roëttiers de Montaleau, he later founded the Genevan Grand Orient Lodge “Des Amis Sincères” on June 7th, 1796. This Lodge was joined in 1806 by Philippe Buonarroti another figure important to the history of both the Carbonari and Mazzini, and he had ties to Robespierre. His biography of Babeuf (sometimes accused of misrepresenting Babeuf’s ideology, but I don’t know enough to form an opinion on that) was an influence on many Revolutionaries of various ideologies from Marx to Mazzini to Blangui. Blanquism differed from Marxism in many key ways, The Italian fascist newspaper Il Popolo d'Italia, founded and edited by Benito Mussolini, had a quotation by Blanqui on its mast: Chi ha del ferro ha del pane ("He who has iron, has bread").<br />
<br />
Sorelianism also played a role in how some of the post Revolutionary ideas morphed into Fascism.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-39336869018715845242019-05-27T21:27:00.003-05:002021-10-29T03:50:21.685-05:00The Curse of Balal was lifted at Pentecost It's common for Fundamentalist Christians, particularly ones who are Conspiracy Theorists, to argue against the concept of Globalism by pointing to Genesis 11, Global Government is evil because it's a do over of the Tower of Babel.<br />
<br />
The thing is this ignores how much of The New Testament is about Jesus and The Holy Spirit through The Church undoing the various curses inflicted upon mankind because of our sins over the course of the Book of Genesis (and beyond). Culminating in us returning to Eden in Revelation 21-22.<br />
<br />
And the undoing of the confusion of tongs in Genesis 11 is explicitly one of the things Acts 2 is about. And we later see in Corinthians that in addition to a spiritual gift for speaking in other Tongs there is a also a gift for interpreting tongs.<br />
<br />
In Romans 11 Paul explains that God is going to graft the fullness of the Gentile Nations into Israel and THEN All of Israel will be Saved. In Revelation 21 the Gates of New Jerusalem are never closed and all the nations bring their treasures into it.<br />
<br />
The main person speaking in Acts 2 is Peter who in his First Epistle tells us he is now at Babylon.<br />
<br />
And the Veil being torn in The Temple when Jesus was on The Cross symbolized Man no longer being separated from God. At Pentecost we became His Temple.<br />
<br />
None of this means I'm enthusiastic about the Capitalist Global Government the Billionaires and Mega-Corporations are trying to impose on us. I already did a post on my Prophesy Blog about how <a href="https://midseventiethweekrapture.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-whore-of-babylon-is-capitalism.html">Babylon in Revelation is Capitalism</a>.<br />
<br />
But objecting to Globalization simply on the grounds of saying "God divided the nations at Babel" displays a really insulting Biblical illiteracy.<br />
<br />
For those confused by the title of this post. It is partly a Symphogear reference, I think I might be the only Western Symphogear fan who knows that Balal is the Hebrew word for Confusion used in the text of Genesis 11. The comments section on Crunchyroll I remember assumed it was a reference to Baal.<br />

But an argument can be made that Baldwin II was a usurper to begin with.<br />

Now in my opinion the Crusader States were invalid to begin with, Christians should view Jesus as the only King of Jerusalem and that land as belonging to The Jews. But this post is being done in the context of what old fashioned Feudal European logic was.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_of_Bouillon">Godfrey de Bouillon</a> declined the title of King in 1099 and instead went by Protector of the Holy Sepulcher under which title he founded the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Holy_Sepulchre">Knights of the Holy Sepulcher</a>. By both the same father and mother Godfrey had an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom also took part in the first Crusade.<br />
<br />
It was his younger brother <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_I_of_Jerusalem">Baldwin I</a> who proclaimed himself the first King of Jerusalem. Which was funny because even by the "Right of Conquest" logic he didn't take part in the siege of Jerusalem, he was too busy Little Fingering his way to the thrown of Edessa.<br />
<br />
Their older bother <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustace_III,_Count_of_Boulogne">Eustace III of Boulogne</a> did take part in the siege of Jerusalem. When Baldwin I died in 1118 he was offered the Throne of Jerusalem, at first he was hesitant to take it but then decided he would. But then when on the way there he heard Baldwin II had been crowned and he decided to just head back home, he died in less then a decade anyway.<br />
<br />
He only had one child, a daughter, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_of_Boulogne">Matilda of Boulogne</a>. She married Stephen of England and had five children, however only <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_I,_Countess_of_Boulogne">Marie I Countess of Boulogne</a> had any children of her own. Basically long term descent from Eustace III of Boulogne comes entirely from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_of_Boulogne,_Duchess_of_Brabant">Matilda of Boulogne</a>'s marriage to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I,_Duke_of_Brabant">Henry I Duke of Barbant</a>, more often then not through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_II,_Duke_of_Brabant">Henry II Duke of Barbant</a>. His sons include the founder of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Hesse">House of Hesse</a>, but the claims to the title of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Brabant">Duke of Barbant</a> all descend from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_III,_Duke_of_Brabant">Henry III Duke of Barbant</a>, who was succeeded by three straight John of Barbants. Henry II of Barbant's first wife was a descendant of Fredrick Barbarossa, and his second wife descended from Barbarossa's sister.<br />
<br />
The Paterlineal ancestry of the Counts of Boulogne go back to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalulf">Adalulf Count of Boulogne</a>, his brother Arnulf I of Flanders would be the progenitor of other nobles involved in the Crusades including the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_Flanders">Counts of Flanders</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Emperor">Latin Emperors of Constantinople</a>. Their mother was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86lfthryth,_Countess_of_Flanders" title="Ælfthryth, Countess of Flanders">Ælfthryth of Wessex</a> daughter of Alfred The Great. Their father was Baldwin II of Flanders, son of Baldwin I of Flanders and Judith a great-granddaughter of Charlemagne. Baldwin of Flanders' ancestry isn't known.<div><br /></div><div>The Grandson of Charlemagne who was Judith's father was Charles The Bald, specifically he inherited West Francia, which basically became what we now know as France, though Flanders and Barbant specifically are in Belgium. Judith was the first born child of Charles The Bald, older then any of his sons. So an argument can be made that especially once all the male line Carolingian dies out the Heirs to Flanders became the rightful heirs to France.<br />
<br />
Eustace III also became one of the early Patrons of the Knights Templars. However another early noble supporter and maybe also member of the Knights Templars was Fulk V of Anjou. A number of Grand Masters of the order also came from Anjou. The Count of Anjou during the third Crusade was King Richard I of England, the Grand Master of the Templars at that time was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_IV_of_Sabl%C3%A9">Robert de Sable</a> who was a very close ally to Richard. Wolfram von Eschenbach's <u>Parzival</u> is the origin of associating the Templars with the Holy Grail, it also associates the Grail with a royal family from Anjou which produces Parzival himself and others.<br />
<br />
In 1290 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Count_of_Valois">Charles of Valois</a> became Count of Anjou by his marriage to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret,_Countess_of_Anjou">Margaret Countess of Anjou</a>. He very strongly publicly opposed the execution of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_de_Molay" title="Jacques de Molay">Jacques de Molay</a> last Grand Master of the Knights Templars in 1314. The sudden tragedies that befell the family of Philip IV following this resulted in the descendants of Charles and Margaret ruling France for over 200 years till the rise of the Bourbon Dynasty.<br />
<br />
The House of Valois would go on to make a number of dynastic connections to descendants of Henry II of Barbant. But the most significant of them was Philip the Bold's marriage to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_III,_Countess_of_Flanders">Margaret III of Flanders</a>, through which their descendants would inherit the titles of Count of Flanders (and with it a potential claim to being the Latin Emperor) and Duke of Barbant, thus making them the heirs to Eustace III's claim to the Throne of Jerusalem.<br />
<br />
The thing is, there is no need to look at weird Secret History to find a continuation of The Knights Templars. The King of Portugal in 1307-1314 never went along with their suppression and thus the Templars in Portugal became the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Christ_(Portugal)">Military Order of Christ</a> which continues to this day. From 1417-1460 the Grand Master of the Order of Christ was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_the_Navigator">Henry the Navigator</a>, a younger son of the then King of Portugal, his mother was also a Lancaster. In January of 1430 his Sister <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_of_Portugal,_Duchess_of_Burgundy">Isabella of Portugal</a> married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Good">Philip The Good</a>.<br />
<br />
Philip The Good was a paternal grandson of Philip the Bold. At this time he had already inherited the title Count of Flanders and before 1430 is over he'll become Duke of Barbant upon the death of his paternal Cousin. He celebrated this marriage by founding the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Golden_Fleece">Order of the Golden Fleece</a>, and to this day the Grandmasters of that Order are the direct heirs of Philip the Good through Charles the Bold his son by Isabella. Charles the Bold's only child was a daughter Mary of Burgundy who married Maximilian Holy Roman Emperor, they were the grandparents of Emperor Charles V and Ferdinand making the Hapsburg Dynasty the Heirs of Barbant and Flanders right down to the current <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_von_Habsburg">Karl von Hapsburg</a>, and the King of Spain.<br />
<br />
An offshoot of that order is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_George_(House_of_Habsburg)">Order of Saint George</a> which became the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_St._George_(Habsburg-Lorraine)">Imperial Order of St George</a>. Who's Grand Master is also still Karl von Hapsburg. All of these orders are Roman Catholic orders, some more wiling to let non Catholics in then others.<br />
<br />
Philip The Good was on the side of the English during much of the latter phase of the Hundred Years War, it was he who captured Jeanne d'Arc and the Cardinal who orchestrated her trail was a close associate of his. He would switch sides later however.</div>Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-79019959193421713042017-09-01T04:05:00.003-05:002017-09-01T04:05:31.652-05:00This Blog isn’t Dead<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-08291225-3caf-c6ef-d081-bd92391f808d" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvUNRekfEE8">Mystery of the Widow's Son - The Legend of the Craft</a><br />
<br />
But I want to talk a little bit about the potential Biblical significance of this phrase.<br />
<br />
What does it mean to call someone a Widow's Son? Just that the mother was a Widow at the time the statement is made or refers to? Statistically most women outlive their husbands (Miriam died less then a year before Moses even though she was older then him by enough to supervise his basket's journey down the Nile), so there is no shortage of mothers who have been Widows at some point in their life. Or does it mean she was one by the time the son was born? Is the implied dead husband the father or someone else?<br />
<br />
Because Joseph doesn't seem to be present in The Gospel narrative after the jump from Jesus being 12 to "about 30", many speculate he must have died by then. Yet The Bible never explicitly tells us that, and never calls Mary a Widow or Jesus the Son of a Widow.<br />
<br />
The Widow's Son of Freemasonry is ostensibly supposed to be Hiram the architect of Solomon's Temple (not to be confused with Hiram king of Tyre, called Hirom in my English translation of Josephus quotation of Meander, who recommended this Hiram for that job).<br />
<br />
This Hiram, sometimes called Huram in translations, is the subject of an alleged Bible contradiction. A number of alleged contradictions come from Kings and Chronicles accounts of the same history describing things differently. In this case, Hiram's mother is called both a Widow of Naphtali (in 1 Kings 7:14) and a Daughter of Dan (in II Chronicles 2:14). The answer here is simple in my view, she was a Danite by birth, married a man of Naphtali, he died (I suspect they had heirs since there wasn't a Leverite marriage), then she entered a relationship with a man of Tyre (this man of Tyre is never refereed to as her husband) and by him had Hiram/Huram.<br />
<br />
The Masonic story of Hiram interests me in how it demonstrates how determined Satan is to contradict The Bible. The Bible says so little about Hiram (What little it says is all in 1 Kings 7 and II Chronicles 2-4.), that it would be easy I feel to write a fictional elaboration on the character without contradicting what little The Bible says, I could write multiple scripts that go in different directions and still each one would not contradict what little The Bible says.<br />
<br />
So that the Masonic narrative makes a pretty big blunder I feel must have been on purpose, the people who wrote these rituals were clearly educated men of their time, I do not doubt that they did what research was available to them.<br />
<br />
1 Kings 7:40 clearly says Hiram did finish all the work Solomon gave him. The II Chronicles account does not disagree with that. But the Masonic narrative says he died while a key stone had still not been put in place. And this stone becomes known as "The Stone that the Builders rejected" which is a phrase taken from Psalm 118 that The New Testament uses as a Title of Christ.<br />
<br />
Josephus in Against Apion Book 1 chapters 17 and 18 quotes two Phoenician Historians, Dius and Meander. Both refer to a person of Tyre who solved problems with Solomon (as Hiram is also described as doing) though there is no clear reference to this person being an Architect. Dius names this person Abdemon, in Meander he's unnamed but called a younger son of Abdemon. It could be this was the name of his father, or another name he went by, sometimes people in antiquity were called by the name of their father. I can't help but suspect this name is partly where the Abiff surname for the Masonic Hiram comes from.<br />
<br />
Another Biblical figure who could be called a Widow's Son was also a contemporary of Solomon. Jeroboam son of Nebat. 1 Kings 11:26 says his mother's name was Zeruah and that she was a Widow. And another thing these two widow's sons have in common is a connection to Dan, since Jeroboam built one of his two Calfs at Dan. Is it possible that the Masons want to claim descent from Solomon's Temple when they really come from Jeroboam's Temples? Masonry does heavily promote British Israelism, particularly the Orange Lodge.<br />
<br />
Another Widow's Son of The Bible would be the Son of the Widow of Zarephath who Elijah rose from The Dead. There is an obscure passage in The Talmud that suggests this Widow's son is Messiah Ben-Joseph, interestingly Jeroboam is also someone a wanna be Messiah Ben-Joseph might seek to identify himself with.<br />
<br />
Acts 1 quotes a verse of Psalm 109 in reference to Judas Iscariot, that leads to speculation if all of Psalm 109 could be applied to Judas. Verse 9 says "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.". So if Judas had a wife and children (which some passages are taken as implying all the Disciples did), any son would be a Widow's Son.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-3093987651556274152017-05-06T15:33:00.002-05:002021-10-29T04:01:12.456-05:00Evidence that Thermusa was a daughter of Cleopatra and Julius CaesarI'm unsure how much this fits here, I want to do a post on it, but am not comfortable doing it on any of my other Blogs. But it's something I may need to reference for a future project. All of these observations, and the main conclusion, which others have made before me.<br />
<br />
In May 44 BC Cicero wrote to a friend indicating that Cleopatra (then in Rome) was pregnant with Caesar's child:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I am grieved to hear of Tertia's loss of an expected child...(but) I should be glad of such a loss in the case of the queen (Cleopatra) and that [expected] scion of the breed of Caesar." [Cicero, ad Atticum, 14:20:2, 14:20:2, 15:1:5, 15:4:4]</blockquote>
There is also a coin of Cleopatra's which shows her suckling a child, usually interpreted to be Caesarion, and marked 'Kupr' (Cyprus). It seems to be that Cleopatra only acquired control of Cyprus c.43BC, at which time Caesarion (born in 47BC) would be too old to be a suckling infant.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a couple decades and Augustus arranges the marriage of Cleopatra Selene (daughter of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra) with King Juba of Mauretania. At around the same time he gives an Italian slave girl called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_of_Parthia">Thermusa </a>(Thea Musa) or Thea Urania to King Phraates IV of Parthia, a far more important ruler than Juba.<br />
<br />
Thea Musa/Urania became Phraates IV's chief queen, eventually murdering him and replacing him with their son <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phraates_V">Phraataces</a>. She married her son and ruled with him for about six years (2BC-4AD), until they got deposed. Parthian texts list Phraates' wives as Olieniere, Bistheibanaps, Baseirta and Cleopatra. History doesn't know what happened to Musa and Phraataces after they were deposed, they weren't killed however.<br />
<br />
A generation later King Ptolemy of Mauretania (born in 1AD) married a princess called Julia Urania. He was raised in Rome and was there until 22AD, after which he returned to Africa. We can therefore assume Julia Urania was in Rome. Their daughter Drusilla was born c.38AD.<br />
<br />
If Thea Musa Urania was an Italian slave girl, why did Augustus consider her the best gift possible to King Phraates? What are the chances of a whore/slave being considered a worthy consort of the Parthian King of Kings? And would Phraates have put aside his royal wives - traditionally his own sisters - to favor a foreign slave?<br />
<br />
If Thea Musa Urania was an Italian slave girl, why does she have the names of Greek royalty? The Ptolemaic queens were devoted to Aphrodite Urania ("Heavenly Urania"), who was also the ancestral goddess of Julius Caesar (as Venus Genetrix). Cleopatra identified herself both as Isis (Queen of Heaven) and Aphrodite; in the Dendera temple reliefs she appears as Isis-Aphrodite holding her son Horus-Eros (Caesarion). If we identify her with the otherwise random wife of Phraates called Cleopatra, Cleopatra Thea Musa/Urania (Cleopatra the Heavenly Goddess?) makes for a perfect fit for a Ptolemaic royal name - see her mother's name of Cleopatra Tryphaena Thea Neotera (Tryphaena the Younger Godess), and siblings Alexander Helios (Alexander "Sun") and Cleopatra Selene (Cleopatra "Moon").<br />
<br />
If Thea Musa Urania was an Italian slave girl, would she have had the audacity to murder her royal husband and marry her own son? Perhaps years in power made her bold, but such incest was completely abhorrent to Romans of any class. Likewise female rule was completely unknown in Italy. On the other hand, such incest was completely acceptable - even preferred - by the Ptolemaic line, as was the sharing of power between incestuous royal couples. Cleopatra and Caesarion were associated on the throne as ceremonial consorts, she as the senior ruler he as the junior. If Thea Musa Urania was Cleopatra's daughter, her descent from Alexander The Great/the Seleucids would have more than validated her as a worthy consort for King Phraates and later on as Queen of Asia in her own right.<br />
<br />
If Julia Urania was a daughter of Thea Musa Urania, she is the obvious bride for King Ptolemy. The last remaining scions of the "pure" Ptolemaic line desperately wanting to perpetuate their divine lineage. The Roman name Julia relates to women of the gens Julia, perhaps a reference to her grandfather Julius Caesar? (Around this time naming rules for women became more lax and names from mothers and grandmothers started to be added to names taken from fathers). If she was a princess from Emessa as has sometimes been conjectured, 'Heavenly Julia' would not a) have any reason to be in Rome b) have any reason to be preferred bride for Ptolemy. Surely his mother would have encouraged him to marry to one of the eastern royal houses who did have Ptolemaic blood, albeit a bit more distantly?Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-71768977221246105722017-04-01T03:19:00.000-05:002017-04-01T05:32:30.038-05:00I've changed my mind, I now do believe in Shape Shifting Reptilians.David Icke was right all along, I never should have doubted him.<br />
<br />
The Draconian are real, but thankfully Trump is the first United States President who isn't one of them. Instead he's a Shape Shifting Citrus, which is why he's building a Wall to protect Americans form Scurvy.<br />
<br />
But it's not just the Royals and the Bankers, shape shifting Reptilians are everywhere, they could be your neighbor or your babysitter and you'd never know it.<br />
<br />
You see the evidence that tipped the scale and finally opened my eyes was a Japanese Documentary TV series I've been watching, about a Shape Shifting Draconian who's also a Maid, and a Lesbian. It's called <u>Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid-Dragon</u>.<br />
<br />
This documentary also revealed that the Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl is a real, but it turns out he is a she, and in her human form she makes Powergirl look like Konata.<br />
<br />
So keep an eye out for people who could be Shape Shifting Reptilians. And remember this Warning I gave you on this day, the first day of the month of April............Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-21627150039628679202017-03-01T11:06:00.002-06:002020-05-08T16:09:31.374-05:00The Mandeans, Gnosticism, Mary and Jesus<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeism">The Mandeans</a> are considered a form of Gnosticism. But they also claim to be the sect John The Baptist lead.<br />
<br />
Unlike many well known Gnostics, they did not revere Jesus.<br />
<br />
Core Mandean texts do not seem to mention Jesus by name, which is why some question whether or not Jesus is who is meant in these passages, some want to say it's Paul.<br />

And he perverted them all and made them like himself who perverted words of life and changed them into darkness and even perverted those accounted Mine. And he overturned all the rites. And he and his brother dwell on Mount Sinai, and he joineth all races to him, and perverteth and joineth to himself a people, and they are called Christians."

I have mostly copied these from a Website wanting to say they refer to Paul not Jesus. It simply doesn't work though. This villain is specifically depicted as being Hung on a Stake or Crucified. And he has a Brother who was also a leader of his sect, that fits James, but Paul is not known to have had any siblings.<br />
<br />
The main thing that takes people by surprise is the Maria of this narrative being his lover rather then Mother. Well I suspect that The Virgin Mary is not who was meant, but that it's an early example of people wanting to depict Mary Magdalene or Mary of Bethany as a lover of Jesus.<br />
<br />
Why am I making a blog post on this? I don't know, I just find it interesting. I'm certainly not endorsing what the Mandeans believe. As the only Ancient Gnostic sect to have survived to the modern day, they are an interesting anomaly.<br />
<br />
They also depict The Holy Spirit (which is called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruha_d-Qudsha" title="Ruha d-Qudsha">Ruha d-Qudsha</a>) as evil.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-41639240473666820382017-01-04T03:43:00.006-06:002023-08-31T20:40:52.685-05:00Freemasonry and British EspionageI am still a conspiracy theorist. But I've grown to view the fixation on the Bavarian Illuminati as a bit of a distraction. They are relevant, but I think the greater narrative is less that they took over Freemasonry and more that older agendas within Freemasonry hijacked their methods. I've alluded to much of this before in <a href="http://conspiracyhistoryfacts.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-illuminati-vs-esoteric-freemasonry.html">Illuminati Vs Esoteric Freemasonry</a>.<br />
<br />
The source of the Conspiracy I believe in is British Freemasonry, and related institutions of the British Occult. I find it suspicions that England's Monarchy was the only one never toppled by the Masonic influenced Revolutions of the late 18th and 19th Centuries. Given how Organized Freemasonry began in Britain and then spread to other regions from there. A fact I make a point of talking about in <a href="http://midseventiethweekrapture.blogspot.com/2016/11/england-and-egypt.html">England and Egypt</a>.<br />
<br />
1717 is the year the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_Grand_Lodge_of_England">Premier Grand Lodge of England</a> was founded. The same year George I became King establishing the House of Hanover. In the party system of England at that time the Whig Party was the party that was most allied with King George himself. It's interesting then how many notable Freemasons of this period, including Grand Masters, were Whigs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Wharton,_1st_Duke_of_Wharton">Philip Wharton</a> was the most notable exception, he was an Early Grand Master, but was a Jacobite rather then a Whig. He also founded the original Hellfire Club, which has no provable connection to the later more famous one.<br />
<br />
Sir Robert Walpole was a Freemason, in fact it seems the Masons sometimes met in his residence.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/masons_at_sight.html">http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/masons_at_sight.html</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.freemasonrytoday.com/ugle-sgc/ugle/tag/Robert%20Walpole">http://www.freemasonrytoday.com/ugle-sgc/ugle/tag/Robert%20Walpole</a><br />
<br />
He was a very important figure in the Whig party. He is considered both the first Prime Minister, and still the longest serving one, his ambitions pretty much created the office and made it rather then the King the real Head of Government. His rise to power is also tied to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5CwbTgovbJJhy1LyAaDqStr">The South Sea Bubble</a>.<br />
<br />
Many notable Freemasons of of the 18th Century, including Grand Masters, were members of the <a href="http://freemasonry.london.museum/event/exhibition-freemasons-and-the-royal-society/">Royal Society</a> first. Isaac Newton was in charge of the Royal Society from the beginning of the Century until his death in 1727. Newton is not known to have been a Freemason himself, but <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Theophilus_Desaguliers">John Theophilus Desaguliers</a> was a important early Grand Master and was also a student of Isaac Newton. Newton was involved in Alchemy and Rosicrucianism, which goes back to Sir Francis Bacon and his mentor John Dee. And among his occult studies was a fixation on studying the architecture of Solomon's Temple, an important theme of Freemasonry.<br />
<br />
At the same time he ran the Royal Society he was also in charge of the Royal Mint. Newton is really the one who invented the Gold Standard. Contrary to what many Libertarians think Silver far more often then Gold was the standard unit of common currency for most of Human History. Just studying financial transactions in The Bible will show that Gold was used mostly in really large transactions.<br />
<br />
All these connections of Newton are probably why the authors of the <i>Priory of Sion</i> hoax made him one of it's Grand Masters. It's a Hoax I know full well is a Hoax but I can't help but be curious about the logic that went behind who they chose to make <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priory_of_Sion#Alleged_Grand_Masters">Grand Masters</a>. At first it makes sense, people in positions to possibly care about an alternative claim to the French Throne, (besides two random Italians). But from 1595-1745 they are all Englishmen, most of them part of England's occult history. Then two members of the House of Lorraine, then Frenchmen who weren't Monarchists at all.<br />
<br />
Much has been written about how Espionage used to often be carried out via Occult Secret Society Circles back before they had official Government Agencies like the CIA or MI6. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Walsingham">Francis Walsingham</a> spymaster of Queen Elizabeth is often credited with inventing modern espionage. There is reason to suspect John Dee served as a spy under him, and also Francis Bacon.<br />
<br />
It is possible that within these circles there would also develop different factions driven by the different political factions England was divided into. Support for the new post Stuart monarchs allied with the Whigs or Tories, and Jacobites supporting the Stuarts who were often Catholic. But perhaps also Anti-Monarchists descended from various factions of the failed English Revolution. Like those I talked about <a href="http://solascripturachristianliberty.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-bible-and-private-property.html">on my other Blog about Libertarian-Communism</a>.<br />
<br />
The early development of organized <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Freemasonry_in_France#Origins">Freemasonry in France</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry_in_Italy#Origins">and Italy</a> can both be traced to English Freemasonry. Dilon claimed that Voltaire was initiated into a Lodge in England while he was there in his early life, but there is no real independent evidence to confirm that claim. The Count of Saint-Germain also first popped up in England. And Cagliostro founded his Memphis-Misraim lodge in England in 1776, then spread it all over the continent.<br />
<br />
Sir Francis Dashwood who founded the famous Hellfire Club has no known connection to the original Hellfire Club. But like it's founder he was an enemy politically of Walpole. And while not openly a Jacobite there is reason to suspect he might have been one secretly. Also I know of no evidence he was a Freemason but he was a member of the Royal Society.<br />
<br />
Benjamin Franklin makes at least one known overlap between the Hellfire Club and the Nine Sisters Lodge, a Lodge in France devoted to gaining French support for the American Revolution. And I've discussed <a href="http://conspiracyhistoryfacts.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-hidden-faith-of-founding-fathers.html">on this blog before</a> reasons to suspect a Jacobite connection to the American Revolution.<br />
<br />
Nicolas Bonneville wrote books on Freemasonry while being involved
in Freemasonry in England before returning to France to be a vital
figure in the <a href="http://conspiracyhistoryfacts.blogspot.com/2015/02/nobody-expects-french-revolution.html">French Revolution</a>. It seems he was friends with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Oswald_(activist)">John Oswald</a>, I don't know if he can be proven to have been a Mason.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/biography/darwin_e/darwin_e.html">Erasmus Darwin was a documented member of English Freemasonry</a>, as was his brother and son. He was the Grandfather of Charles Darwin and Francis Galton, and actually anticipated their Pseudo-Scientific theories in his own writings.<br />
<br />
In 1795-98 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Orange_Lodge_of_Scotland">The Orange Lodge</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Order">Orange Order</a> were founded, which could be viewed as the Anglican Church's counterpart to the Jesuits. It has been strongly politically involved in opposing both Irish and Scottish independence. And they encourage belief in British Israelism.<br />
<br />
In the 19th Century it starts becoming common for the Grand Master to be a member of the Royal Family. The father of Queen Victoria was a Grand Master and very involved in reorganizing Masonry at the time. Later her son and Crown Prince would be Grand Master until he took the Throne and then the Grand Mastership was taken by his brother. The Grand Masters during World War II were a brother and brother in-law of the then reigning King. The current Grand Master is the heir of one of the WWII Grand Masters.<br />
<br />
The movie From Hell is based on a Comic Book based on a real theory about Jack The Ripper and his murders being tied to Freemasonry and the Royal Family. Not sure if I think that theory is the correct one, but it's interesting.<br />
<br />
Giuseppe Mazzini who was an important figure in both Italian Freemasonry and the Carbonari before creating his own Secret Societies (starting with Young Italy and Young Europa), was harbored in England and closely tied to Lord Palmerston, who had been Prime Minister, and had a complicated relationship with Napoleon III. Palmerston has been a focus of many conspiracy theory themed books. At the moment I do not know if it can be confirmed that he was a Freemason. But I know he wasn't the official Grand Master as Dilon made it sound.<br />
<br />
Aleister Crowley was an Englishman. There is no proof he was a Mason like many claim. But the Secret Societies he was involved with before creating his own were ones founded by 19th Century English Freemasons, chiefly the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn#History">Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn</a>.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-41926993472113097922016-12-20T22:19:00.001-06:002016-12-21T12:41:56.679-06:00I mentioned the Illuminati in a post on my other Blog.It was Incidental to the main objective of the post.

responsible for your victory (Racine Wisconsin to be specific) my
message is this.<br />
<br />
If you are only going to keep only one of your campaign promises. It
better be ending the Free Trade Agreements, like NAFTA and CAFTA and the
TPP, and stuff directly related to that. Your strong turn out in
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota was chiefly because of people who
voted for Bernie in the Primary (I voted for Bernie) and you in the
general because they voted chiefly on that issue. Because we are the
most hurt the ramifications of those agreements.<br />
<br />
They don't care if you build the Wall or even necessarily want that. Or
about your Muslim Ban, or defeating ISIS. And certainly not any of the
typical Republican positions you espoused.<br />
<br />
I was unwilling to vote for because I didn't trust you on this, given
how your businesses have themselves benefited from those agreements.
And because I was offended by the Xenophobia you appealed to.<br />
<br />
IF however you actually do keep this promise, and the fears Mexicans and
Muslims have of your turns out to be unfounded. You might, just maybe
might win my vote for 2020.<br />
<br />
But if not, you don't keep that promise, you will lose the people who chiefly gave this victory and have no hope of reelection.<br />
<br />
The second promise I personally care about (in the sense of would like
you to keep it) is legalizing Marijuana. But for that I see no evidence
many people voted on that.

<br />
In this case though it's not a standard Thesis-Antithesis, but rather more Demthesis (Democrat agenda) and Repubhesis (Republican agenda).<br />
<br />
Demthesis: Ban guns, or at least require background checks, and maybe throw Hate-Crime legislation in there.<br />
<br />
Repubthesis: Ban Muslims, be afraid of Muslims, spy on the Mosques, build a wall, turn away refugees, wage war in the middle east, increase military spending and the Patriot act.<br />
<br />
Synthesis: Ban people on the Terror Watch list from buying Guns.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long at all for the Dems to make that their starting point. And now Trump is calling for it saying he's gonna sit down with the NRA on it. And we got Fox News Pundits saying it's "Common Sense".<br />
<br />
Don't forget thanks to the Patriot Act and everything passed after 9/11 how insanely easy it is to get put on the watch list. You don't have to be a Muslim, plenty of White-Male-Christians have gotten on there for being Anti-Authoritarian. But if you are a Muslim, good luck staying off it, I'll bet you are on it and don't even know it.<br />
<br />
Basically this "compromise" will effectively kill the Second Amendment, the Dems won't need anything else they are calling for. And the Islamophobes won't need anything else either once they've used this to disarm every Muslim.<br />
<br />
This was the real goal all along, don't be fooled, we need to fight this tooth and nail. Remember the first Gun Law in this country was supported by the NRA and was a law banning the newly freed slaved from owning guns. So it's not the first time bigotry has factored into restricting gun rights.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-19844113634636314432016-05-06T22:24:00.002-05:002017-10-28T16:44:41.623-05:00Ancient Aliens just did an episode on Pyramids of Antarctica<a href="http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/review-of-ancient-aliens-s09e01-pyramids-of-antarctica">http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/review-of-ancient-aliens-s09e01-pyramids-of-antarctica</a><br />
<br />
Conspiracy Theories surrounding Antarctica have also been important to the recent Flat Earth craze, hijacking claims originally made about Admiral Bird by Hollow Earth theorists.<br />
<br />
Thing is, I have my doubts these real life fringe theories about something mysterious in Antarctica predate the known Fiction on the subject. <br />
<br />
It begins at least as early as <i>Edgar Allen Poe</i>'s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Narrative_of_Arthur_Gordon_Pym_of_Nantucket"><b>The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket</b> (1838)</a> .<br />
<br />
<i>Jules Verne</i> then wrote a sequel to that called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Antarctic_Mystery"><i>Le Sphinx des glaces</i>, The Sphinx of the Ice Fields</a>. Where Antarctica has a Sphinx rather then a Pyramid.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.coolfrenchcomics.com/wnu1.htm">The French Wold Newton Universe</a> authors love expanding on these stories and tying them into other fiction.<br />
<br />
The Novel <u>Who Goes There</u>, which inspired <u>The Thing from another World</u> and it's remakes, speculates an Alien presence in Antarctica.<br />
<br />
Another story to draw directly on Poe's was H. P. Lovecraft's <u>At The Mountains of Madness</u>. <br />
<br />
And at least one Anime is relevant to this topic, <u>Neon Genesis Evangelion</u>. I think there might be at least one other that involved something in Antarctica, I'll have to think about it.<br />
<br />
I don't have anything in depth to say, I just want to spread awareness of it.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-28427831309048225042016-04-19T19:50:00.004-05:002021-07-09T00:49:53.993-05:00The Star of David, Occult or Hebrew?The Star of David, also called the Shield of David or Magen David, is a six pointed star that is a popular symbol in modern Judaism, it appears on the flag of modern Israel.<br />
<br />
It is also a Hexagram/Sexagram, which is a symbol <a href="http://solascripturachristianliberty.blogspot.com/2016/02/paganism-is-about-what-you-believe-not.html">the Occult</a> uses, in Freemasonry and other traditions it's called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Solomon">Seal of Solomon</a>. This fact is often pointed out to smear the symbol, including by myself in the past.<br />
<br />
Thing is, Satan commonly takes and corrupts Godly symbols. And many of the Christians most determined to use this symbol similarity to smear modern Judaism and modern Israel are all for <a href="http://conspiracyhistoryfacts.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-great-pyramid-was-not-built-by.html">using the contrived Pillar of Enoch mythology to claim the Pyramid as a Godly symbol</a>.<br />
<br />
To start with, claiming the symbol's affiliation with Judaism began with the Rothschild family is simply false, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David#Early_use_as_an_ornament">there are known Jewish usages of the symbol that predate the 18th Century </a>(when Mayer Rothschild and his father Moses Baur lived). There is evidence that early Kariates had used it, those are Jews deliberately rebelling against Rabbinic and Kabalistic traditions. The Book <a href="https://www.logos.com/product/30261/art-in-ancient-palestine">Art in Ancient Palestine</a> (can be found <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/9652233692/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=PWU83TPBRH2M&coliid=I3F5H3DIF11U68">on Amazon</a>) documents six pointed stars being found in Archaeological sites in Ancient Israel.<br />

It's popular to imagine the symbol being mentioned in The Bible negatively as the Star of <a href="http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/4345-chiun">Chiun</a> in Amos 5:26 also called the Star of Rempham in Acts 7:43. I think that reference is about actual worship of the Planet Saturn, (Chiun coming from the Akadian Kawanu, and the Babylonians called it Sukkot/Tabernacle, and Rempham comes from Repa a Coptic name for Saturn). The Greeks tended to identify the main El the Pagan Canaanites worshiped with Kronos, who was Saturn to the Romans.<br />
<br />
But if critics of the Symbol can read it into a Bible verse that just says "star" with no indicator of how many points it's depicted as having. Then a supporter of the symbol can just as validly see it in the Star out of Jacob of Numbers 24:17, a Prophecy that refers first to David but ultimately to The Messiah. Or for Christians <a href="http://tinyurl.com/JupiterBethlehem">the Star of Bethlehem</a>, which we've often linked to the Star out of Jacob.<br />
<br />
But what has become interesting to me lately is the Biblical significance of <a href="http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/CONHEB779.htm#S7799">Lilies</a>. Hosea 14:5 uses The Lily as a symbol of Israel in a Prophecy of Israel's restoration. The <a href="http://solascripturachristianliberty.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-song-of-solomon-whos-who.html">Song of Solomon</a> uses it of Shulamith. 1 Kings 7:19&22 says the tops of the Pillars of Solomon's Temple were of Lily Work.<br />
<br />
Lilies have 3 pedals and 3 sepedals that can look like pedals. A Hexagram is a six pointed star that looks like two superimposed triangles. Because of this <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Lily+Hexagram&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&imgil=F71pqk-Fztv-SM%253A%253BhCjGDlM5K8s71M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.deviantart.com%25252Ftag%25252Fhexagram%25253Foffset%2525253D50&source=iu&pf=m&fir=F71pqk-Fztv-SM%253A%252ChCjGDlM5K8s71M%252C_&usg=__Fs_4bXowUD2U_IKkcF38xZkIN1I%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjOyOPW_JvMAhWEbiYKHTTzDDkQyjcIKQ&ei=Ls8WV875JITdmQG05rPIAw#imgrc=_">Lilies can often look kind of like Hexagrams</a>. In fact there is a plant named Solomon's seal (Polygonatum multiflorum) in the lily family. I've even seen in Japanese Anime (like <a href="http://jaredmithrandir.tumblr.com/post/142869425823/finishing-up-the-yurikuma-arashi-dub-viewing">YuriKuma Arashi</a>) examples of lilies looking Hexagram like, where making a Jewish reference was not likely the Author's intent.<br />
<br />
So maybe The Lily is the key to figuring out where the Star of David/Seal of Solomon came from?<br />
<br />
<b>Update January 30th 2017</b>: Okay, one element of this I originally didn't want to include is how people say this has something to do with the Number of the Beast. But I decided I should address that.<br />
<br />
The Number of The Beast from the last verse of Revelation 13 is Six Hundred and Sixty Six. Not Six-Six-Six. So no, not every usage of the number 6 is about the Mark of The Beast. And that is all that should need to be said to refute that absurdity.<br />
<br />
Six is a number that is used positively sometimes in Scripture. 12 and 24 and 72, and 144,000 are numbers that are multiples of Six. The Sixth day of a Biblical Week was <a href="http://midseventiethweekrapture.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-manna-miracle-and-origins-of.html">the preparation day for The Sabbath</a>. Which I've argued was <a href="http://midseventiethweekrapture.blogspot.com/2016/10/jesus-wasnt-buried-same-day-he-was.html">the day Jesus was buried</a>.<br />
<br />
Adam was created on the 6th Day, Jesus is the Last Adam, and that some symbolism linkable to Adam will be taken by The Beast is only because The Beast wants to claim titles of Christ for himself.<br />
<br />
Update May 2017: My defense of Jews and Christians using it doesn't mean however that I think it inherently won't be used by The Antichrist in an End Times deception. I talked recently on my Prophecy Blog about <a href="http://midseventiethweekrapture.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-beast-of-earth-from-koran.html">the Ring of Solomon</a>. This symbol isn't what the Mark of the Beast is, but it could still become part of how The False Prophet packages it. But it's not something I'm going to predict will happen either.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-10574716057737398082016-03-06T17:28:00.002-06:002023-03-27T23:10:29.807-05:00The Essenes were the HerodiansThe esoterics' claim that Jesus and the earliest Christians were the Essenes or came out of them actually predates the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery, it goes back to the 1800s in the writings of many theosophists. I'm mentioning this here to explain why the Essenes are relevant to my Conspiracy Blog.<br />
<br />
I'm not the first to suggest the Essenes of Josephus were the Herodians of The Gospels. The objections to that claim are dependent entirely on the assumption that the Dead Sea Scrolls were written by the Essenes. Since those scrolls are very seemingly the product of a separatist sect that wanted nothing to do with any Government ruling in Jerusalem.<br />
<br />
But objections to that identification are common, I own the DSS translation done by Michael Wise, Martin Abegg JR., and Edward Cook. Their introduction lays out many of the flaws in that theory, but their own theory is that the Qumran community were a sub-sect of the Sadduces which I'm not sold on either, in fact their clearly not being Torah only contradicts them being Sadduces. <br />
<br />
There is also the theory that those caves were simply used to hide scrolls from many different origins as the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD approached. I'm sure you can find online articles about all these theories.<br />
<br />
I think they could have been Essenes, but if they were they were a peculiar group not representative of the whole. The biggest problem with the Essene theory to me is that Josephus clearly tells us the Essenes did not marry, while the Qumran community clearly did marry. But Josephus does at one point refer to a group of "marrying Essenes", maybe those are the Essenes who wrote the DSS, I don't know.<br />
<br />
What I do know is Josephus divides the Jews of pre 70 AD Judea into three major sects, The Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essenes. (And then later the Zealots sprung from the Pharisees, and the Sicari from the Zelots).<br />
<br />
The Gospels mention often the Pharisees and Sadducees, but by that name at least never the Essenes. However Matthew 22, Mark 3 and Mark 12 seem to similarly depict the Jews of Jesus day as having three major sects, those two and the Herodians, with no group known by that name mentioned in Josephus. So the Clark Kent rule tells me the Eseenes are probably the Herodians.<br />
<br />
Josephus account of the rise of the Essenes revolves around a fellow named Menahem, in Antiquities <a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/history/flavius-josephus/antiquities-jews/book-15/chapter-10.html">Book 15, Chapter 10</a> Section 5.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span face=""roboto" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.4286px;">Now there was one of these Essens, whose name was Manahem, who had this testimony, that he not only conducted his life after an excellent manner, but had the foreknowledge of future events given him by God also. This man once saw Herod when he was a child, and going to school, and saluted him as king of the Jews; but he, thinking that either he did not know him, or that he was in jest, put him in mind that he was but a private man; but Manahem smiled to himself, and clapped him on his backside with his hand, and said," However that be, thou wilt be king, and wilt begin thy reign happily, for God finds thee worthy of it. And do thou remember the blows that Manahem hath given thee, as being a signal of the change of thy fortune. And truly this will be the best reasoning for thee, that thou love justice [towards men], and piety towards God, and clemency towards thy citizens; yet do I know how thy whole conduct will be, that thou wilt not be such a one, for thou wilt excel all men in happiness, and obtain an everlasting reputation, but wilt forget piety and righteousness; and these crimes will not be concealed from God, at the conclusion of thy life, when thou wilt find that he will be mindful of them, and punish time for them." Now at that time Herod did not at all attend to what Manahem said, as having no hopes of such advancement; but a little afterward, when he was so fortunate as to be advanced to the dignity of king, and was in the height of his dominion, he sent for Manahem, and asked him how long he should reign. Manahem did not tell him the full length of his reign; wherefore, upon that silence of his, he asked him further, whether he should reign ten years or not? He replied, "Yes, twenty, nay, thirty years;" but did not assign the just determinate limit of his reign. Herod was satisfied with these replies, and gave Manahem his hand, and dismissed him; and from that time he continued to honor all the Essens. We have thought it proper to relate these facts to our readers, how strange soever they be, and to declare what hath happened among us, because many of these Essens have, by their excellent virtue, been thought worthy of this knowledge of Divine revelations.</span></blockquote>
So Josephus paints a pretty clear picture of the Essenes being politically tied to Herod. Josephus had also said as much at the end of the section just before this.<br />
<br />
This Menahem of Josephus is also thought to possibly be the same as the Menahem The Essene of the Talmud. According to Mishanah Tractate Hagigah 16b he was the original Zugot with Hillel but left the Sanhedrin and was replaced by Shammai. The Jerusalem Talmud says he left to be appointed to a position in the Government.<br />
<br />
In The Gospels the Herodians seem to be kind of allied with the Phairsees, and The Talmud paints a similar picture of the Essenes given Menahem's connection to Hillel.<br />
<br />
It may be they were called Herodians only by outsiders, and that label had gone out of use by the time Josephus started writing.<br />
<br />
February 25th 2016 Update: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boethusians">Beothusians</a><br />
<br />
Another sect sometimes speculated to be the same as the Essenes partly on the grounds of both never showing up in the same source are the Beothusians. Apparently Talmudic sources only mention the Beothusians while Josephus only mentions the Essenes. Of course as mentioned above a key Essene figure, Menahem, is possibly mentioned in the Talmud. While the Kohen family linked to the Beothusians are talked about in Josephus. But yet as a sect it seems only Josephus knows the Essenes and only the Talmud knows the Beothusians.<br />
<br />
Well the relevance here is that the Beothusians are also not mentioned in the New Testament, and the Herodians are also not mentioned in the Talmud, at least not by those names.<br />
<br />
The Family of High Priests linked to the Boethusians are also linked to Herod. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_son_of_Boethus">Simon ben Beothus</a> was appointed by Herod, and was one of the longer lasting High Priests Herod appointed. And Herod married his Daughter.<br />
<br />
So perhaps the Boethusians can also be the same as the Herodians, and thus The Essenes were known by three names at least. Perhaps only Josephus called them what they called themselves (he claimed to have spent some time studying under all three sects, so he could have had some inside knowledge of each even though he ultimately chose to be a Pharisee). While other people tended to call them by the names of significant people they were linked to. Like how Catholics don't call themselves Papists, and originally at least Protestants didn't call themselves Lutherans.<br />
<br />
But, a key difference is that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boethusians#Connection_to_Essenes">Boethusians=Essenes connection</a> is viewed as possibly supported by the DSS=Essenes connection, while as discussed above that is viewed as an obstacle for the Herodians=Essenes view. Again, it may be that the DSS were written by a specific sub group of the Essenes not representative of the whole.<br />
<br />
I want to diverge further on the subject of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boethusians#A_High-Priestly_family">the family of Simon ben Beothus</a>. It is somewhat well known that this family came from Alexandria just before Herod put them in power. What isn't as well known is what Josephus says in <a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/history/flavius-josephus/antiquities-jews/book-19/chapter-6.html">Antiquities Book 19 Chapter 6</a> Section 2.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"And when Agrippa had entirely finished all the duties of the Divine
worship, he removed Theophilus, the son of Ananus, from the high
priesthood, and bestowed that honor of his on Simon the son of Boethus,
whose name was also Cantheras whose daughter king Herod married, as I
have related above. Simon, therefore, had the [high] priesthood with his
brethren, and with his father, in like manner as the sons of Simon, the
son of Onias, who were three, had it formerly under the government of
the Macedonians, as we have related in a former book. "</blockquote>
Which seems to imply this family descended from Onias III, most likely via Onias IV. Which is interesting in light of theories that the "Teacher of Righteousness" of the DSS was a rightful High Priest robbed of his position, and that could easily have been Onias IV.<br />
<br />
Because of how sects can often change over time, there is no guarantee Simon ben Beothus would have approved of all the doctrines The Talmud winds up attributing to this sect. Or what this sect itself believed by a generation or two later.<br />
<br />
The possibility that Simon Beothus might have been the first High Priest of the line of High Priest Jeshua of the books of Ezra and Zechariah since the time of Antiochus Epiphanes. Makes me very open to the possibility that he was the same person as the Simeon of Luke 2's account of Jesus presentation in The Temple. Many have suggested only a High Priest could have done what he did. And because he's called "Just" some have even theorized he's part of the basis for the Talmud's Simon The Just.<br />
<br />
Because Simon Beothus was removed and replaced by a son while still alive. He may have been viewed as still a co High Priest for awhile similar to how Ananias was as refereed to in the Gospels.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-57200132200873272752016-03-04T03:55:00.002-06:002016-11-21T06:05:21.696-06:00Alex Jones has lost it supporting TrumpI should have said this much sooner, not that what I say matters.<div>

<div>
But I stuck by Alex Jones long after the trend of calling him a shill started. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used bet my own credibility on IMDB boards on him to an extent, saying yes I know on the Radio he gets speculation and exaggerates but the actual articles on his site and material in his documentaries are based entirely on they admit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But when I heard him come in favor of Trump I just couldn't believe it, how could someone who knows the game as well as he does be so easily suckered in. Who opposed Islamophobia all through the Bush years suddenly be all on board with it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm Nostalgic for listening to his Radio show during the Ron Paul campaigns. So I emotionally don't want to believe he'd been a shill this whole time. But I see no other explanation then he's just simply lost his mind.</div>
<div>

<br />
But it is a quasi Islamic order, and while all Masonic orders draw on religious themes much of what I've heard about the Shrine makes it seem the most immature obscene and frat like Masonic Lodge besides maybe the Jesters.<br />
<br />
So basically they're making fun of Muslims.<br />
<br />
And don't give them a pass because of their alleged charitable status, the 1913 law for tax exempt charitable organizations allows them to spend over 90 % of what's donated on "in house" expenses and the Shriners fully take advantage of that, spending most of their money on building huge Shrines that are large and fancier then most actual Mosques in America.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974961313522034587.post-28091220169297818132016-02-17T08:59:00.001-06:002018-07-10T19:32:55.503-05:00The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just watched this documentary from the same people who did "Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings" a video where the only major objection I had (at the time) was the Bacon wrote Shakesphere stuff.<br />
<br />
For the first like half of the Documentary the only thing I strongly object to is when they get into the Bavarian Illuminati while talking about Thomas Paine where they repeat a lot of the common misinformation that people like <a href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2016/01/31/conspiracy-roundup-31-01-2016/">Terry Melanson have been trying to correct</a>. And make a false claim of Voltaire being Jesuit trained.<br />
<br />
During the part on Washington I noticed first they are largely now contradicting the position they took on Washington in their previous documentary I'd watched, "Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings".<br />
<br />
The big deal made out of him not taking Communion did not strike me as evidence of being a non-Christian. If he was attending the Church only as a public show but was in fact a Deist or Atheist there would be no reason for him to object to Communion. Rather I'm reminded of how as someone raised Catholic I know that some devout Catholics are willing to attend Protestant Churches for whatever reason but would not take their Eucharist. (and indeed later a Catholic accusation is what they make). <br />
<br />
But I also considered the opposite explanation, this Church he was attending sounds like one of those Protestant Churches that was pretty effectively Catholic in many areas. If I were attending it out of some obligation I too depending on my mood would refuse to take the Eucharist or genuflect (the not kneeling issue). <br />
<br />
It seemed like this was a Church he was attending because his Wife went there.<br />
<br />
I was naturally intrigued by their Jesuit spy conclusion, and amused at how certain they were their target audience wouldn't object to not counting Catholics as Christian. They are a from of Christianity that I agree is heretical, but they are Christians.<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://conspiracyhistoryfacts.blogspot.com/2016/02/adam-weishaupt-was-not-jesuit.html">last post on this blog</a> observed an overlap between Jesuit activities in Masonry and the Jacobite Stuart cause. And I remembered the laughable Pseudo History book "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" by Laurence Gardiner. Because one claim made in it that seemed pretty well documented compared to most of his claims was that Washington had sent a delegation in 1782 to Charles III Stuart to offer him to be King of America. Mr. Galloway of Maryland, two Sylvester brothers from Pennsylvania<br />
and Attorney Fish of New York made up the delegation. It is supposedly documented in the Senate Archives and in something called the <i>Manorwater Papers</i>. It has not been easy for me to look into it.<br />
<br />
False accusations of Jesuit connections are quite common however, so I shall reserve Judgment on this.<br />
<br />
My major objection to the film came as it reached the climax of this Jesuit centric section. When they had the audacity to proclaim Religious Liberty a bad thing, because the Jesuits supported it at a time when it would have benefited them. Never mind that any Christians with the views most modern American Evangelicals have would have been equally persecuted under that Anglican Government of 17th century Britain, which is why our Spiritual Ancestors came to this continent to begin with.<br />
<br />
They cite The Ten Commandments as proof that Religious Freedom is unBiblical. That's not even about Civil Authority. But yes the Law of Moses had no Freedom of Religion, but we are not under The Law of Moses. It was not Masonic Founding Fathers who invented the idea of Religious Liberty as an American Value. It goes back to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Williams">Roger Williams</a> the founder of Rhode Island.<br />
<br />
I often say disparaging things about the Puritans, especially the ones that stayed in England and became part of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pULDgYaZIxk">Oliver Cromwell</a>'s proto-fascist regime. But I am a big fan of certain individuals who started out in the Puritan community but became rebels against the mainstream of Puritanism and thus effectively excommunicated from it. Roger Williams was one of those. He argued based on the examples of The Bible's praise of Cyrus and Artaxerxes that even before The Cross God always preferred Gentiles Governments to take the position of religious liberty. Williams also strongly disagreed with the common racist views people had of Native Americans and opposed slavery. To me he is the true Founding Father of the America I Love.<br />
<br />
The documentary goes on to shows how deceptive David Barton is. But I find it all pointless when he effectively advocates the same contemporary political agenda as Barton. He's more honest about it at least, when Barton is interviewed by a liberal like John Stewart he'll seek to assure the viewers he's all for religious freedom. But the obvious end result of his Dominionist political agenda (which is also now strongly attached to Ted Cruz) would be the destruction of Religious Liberty.<br />
<br />
At the end he cites the Book of Revelation to prove that even under The New Testament God clearly has no respect for Religious Freedom. I suggest he read Luke 19 starting in verse 11 <u>The Parable of the Ten Minas</u>. And if that passage confuses you and you honestly can't tell it's instructing believers to never force people to convert, I recommend this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENtlW-LEqu8">good analysis of it</a>.<br />
<br />
It's sickening because he would not be able to freely and openly make and distribute this film without the Freedom he's condemning, because you can't have Freedom of Speech without Freedom of Religion, or visa versa, they go hand in hand. Would a nation without Freedom of Speech allow someone to make a documentary effectively vilifying that nation's founders? Of course not.<br />
<br />
As far as the basic question of if the Founding Fathers were Christians. The desire of people on either side to make it a unilateral yes or no is really ridiculous. The Founding Fathers were a large group of people, only a handful of whom are house hold names today. They did not all agree with each other and in fact they argued bitterly taking over a decade to settle on the final Constitution.<br />
<br />
Barton manipulates quotes to make them all seem Christian, even the most flagrantly heretical of them. But his less famous and more savvy counterparts will concede the obvious Deists among the most famous names while focusing on many mostly lesser known individuals who this documentary didn't acknowledge at all. Names that escape me at the moment. But the quotes I recall reading are pretty Fundamentalist, including one of the first of our Judges calling for Homosexuality to be a Capital offense based on Leviticus 20. <br />
<br />
Indeed before the Civil War the Bill Rights was viewed as only applying to the Federal Government and many state governments codified the first four commands of the Decalogue into Civil Law.<br />
<br />
This documentary singles out 5 founding fathers to talk about extensively. Of those 3 were indeed Masonic style Deists. They weren't the only Deists of course.<br />
<br />
But this is one of those Christians who feels you're NOT a Christians if you don't agree with HIS interpretation of Christianity. He considers the accusation that Obama is a Muslim just as obviously proven as Jefferson being a Deist. And I myself hold positions he considers proof of not being a Christian (like <a href="http://solascripturachristianliberty.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html">support of Gay Rights</a>).<br />
<br />
Now I agree you're not Biblical Christianity just because you say nice things about Jesus, in which case yes even Jefferson was a Christian. But fact is Muslims believe more of what the New Testament says about Jesus then Jefferson. Muslims believe in The Virgin Birth but not in His Divinity.<br />
<br />
But I consider you a fellow Bible Believing Christian as long as from your own POV you believe The Bible, (and from there we can debate what The Bible says). Which generally Unitarians like John Adams do. But yes I do consider denial of The Trinity heretical enough to be effectively no different then being a Deist. John Adams was up and down about his faith over the course of his life, this documentary focused on quotes from when he was down on it.<br />
<br />
I object only to their certainty about Washington. Which mostly seems to come down to him not wearing his Faith on his Sleeve. Now you can hold the personal view that a "good Christian" is someone who never goes five minutes without saying they're a Christian all you like. But the fact is many Christians don't feel that way.<br />
<br />
To quote one YouTube comment.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Among the delegates were twenty-eight Episcopalians, eight Presbyterians, seven Congregationalists, two Lutherans, two Dutch Reformed, two Methodists, two Roman Catholics, one unknown, and only three deists — Williamson, Wilson, and Franklin. 51 of 55 — a full 93 percent — of the members of the Constitutional Convention, the most influential group of men shaping the political underpinnings of America, were Christians, not deists.</blockquote>
I'll try to fact check that later. <br />
<br />
As far as the treaty of Tripoli goes. It was firstly a political decision when trying to make an agreement with a non Christian nation. But even so I as a Christian if I ever started my own country would state clearly in every founding document that it was NOT a Christian Nation. That it would be a nation with full Freedom of Religion. <br />
<br />
I agree fully with the Christian objections to Freemasonry. But the fact is through out history and to this day plenty of Christians are members of Maonsic Lodges and don't get the conflict, to them it's compatible. You can criticize that all you want, but not every Mason is an Anti-Christian carrying out an Anti-Christian agenda, those people tend to be the ones who dedicate their lives almost solely to Freemasonry. <br />

<br />
But I'm doing this post as an overdue response to Johnny Cirucci and his claims in his two part Interview with Rob Skiba.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIgwnwpCanA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIgwnwpCanA</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-vmhhpgmE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-vmhhpgmE</a><br />
<br />
For the first part I and some others left comments correcting this myth which Rob Skiba asked him to respond to in part two. And he just kept up his usual spiel.<br />
<br />
He fully admits we have no documentation of Weishaupt ever being a member of the Jesuits. His argument is solely that he could not possibly have become Professor of Cannon Law at a Jesuit controlled university if he wasn't a Jesuit.<br />
<br />
But he goes on to talk about the history surrounding the suppression of the Jesuit order, and is blindingly ignorant to how that destroyed his entire argument about Weishaupt being a Jesuit. He was appointed Professor of Canon Law AFTER the Suppression, he was entrusted with that position at that time precisely because he hated the Jesuits and was determined to root them out.<br />
<br />
He talks also about presumed Jesuit take over of Freemasonry. The Masons who joined the Illuminati were attracted to it precisely because they too were paranoid about that very subject. Kingge and Bode and so on. Also <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Bonneville#Freemasonry">Nicolas Bonneville</a> who was not a known member but was a known sympathizer.<br />
<br />
What's amusing is the claim of Templar origin of Freemasonry that modern Conspiracy Theorists both for and against the Masons accept at face value, was a myth created as part of the Jesuit infiltration. It was largely the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rite_of_Strict_Observance">Strict Observance Rite</a> that popularized it.<br />
<br />
Interestingly in the original version of the myth it wasn't the Templars but rather the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller">Knights Hospilitars</a>. In a narrative promoted by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Michael_Ramsay">Michael Ramsay</a> in 1737. Ramsay was a member himself of a totally different Crusader era monastic order, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_St._Lazarus_of_Jerusalem">Order of Lazarus</a>. It's also notable that in Cagliastro's fanciful origin story he wrote for himself he connected himself to the Knights of Malta via his imagined mentor Althotas. (Althotas was clearly the basis for the later Kolmer legend added to Weishaupt's fictional biography).<br />
<br />
I find it interesting in all those links however, that these attempts by the Jesuits to Catholisize Freemasonry went hand in hand with the Jacobite Stuart cause, (Ramsey was a Jacobite and the Strict Observance Rite at least claimed connections to the Exiled Stuarts). Because <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Clement_XIII">the same Pope who suppressed the Jesuits</a> was also the one who stopped officially recognizing the exiled Stuarts when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Edward_Stuart">Charles Edward Stuart</a> become the Stuart heir in 1766. That direct Stuart line died out, so who knows if the modern Stuart claimants have the same Jesuit connections.<br />
<br />
The Jesuits today are a shadow of what they once were. People make a big deal out of Francis being the first Jesuit to become Pope. But he also has this Liberal Obama clone reputation that is totally counter to the political agenda of the Jesuits who Weishaupt and Eugene Sue where so determined to demonize.<br />
<br />
Let's talk about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Sue">Eugene Sue</a> for a bit. Besides being a Socialist rather then Protestant he was kind of the Jack Chick of Nineteenth Century France.<br />

When discussing the origins of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion">the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion</a> hoax. People will talk about how it plagiarized from <u>Dialogue in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu</u> a political satire by Maurice Jolly. And a chapter of <u>Biarritz</u> an 1868 novel by Anti-Semitic German author Hermann Goedsche. <br />
<br />
Somewhat more Esoteric but still fairly well known is that the <u>Dialouge in Hell</u> was itself plagiarizing the 1856 published last volume of Eugene Sue's <u>Les Mysteries Du Peuple</u> (Mysteries of a People) series of novellas. <br />
<br />
In the last few Novels of that saga during their depiction of the French Revolutions (both the original and the 1848 one) Sue decided to build a Shared Universe by incorporating both the Hero of his first hit <u>The Mysteries of Paris</u>, Rodolphe Duke of Gerolstien, and the Villain of his second hit <u>The Wandering Jew</u>, the Jesuit <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagnificentBastard">Magnificent Bastard</a> <a href="http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Father_Rodin_(The_Wandering_Jew)">Father Robin</a>.<br />
<br />
At the end of the last novel set in 1848 Rodolphe thwarts Father Rodin's effort to carry out a Jesuit master plan for world domination. This plan (which was removed from the only existing English Translation of the Novel titled <u>The Galley Slave's Ring; or, The Family Lebrenn</u>) is the literary ancestor of the Protocols.<br />
<br />
What is very rarely known however, is that there was a book published in 1848 claiming to expose a real life Jesuit Conspiracy not at all unlike the one depicted in Eugene Sue's fiction. <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Jesuit_conspiracy_The_secret_plan_of.html?id=5SgEAAAAQAAJ">The Jesuit Conspiracy. The Secret Plan of The Order by Jacopo Leon</a>.<br />
<br />
So the history of Jesuit Conspiracy theories, real or imagined, is a long and complicated one. Today it tends to manifest in fiction not with actual Jesuits but Fictional analogues (or Dan Brown's view of Opus Dei). The <u>Hellsing</u> Anime is probably more in line with Jack Chick then Eugene Sue with it's Anglican POV. But I still see it's Ultimate (pun intended) literary debt as being to Sue.<br />
<br />
In counter to them sometimes are works like the last three of Ponson Du Terril's <a href="http://jaredmithrandirolorin.blogspot.com/2014/10/rocambole-in-london.html">Rocambole novels</a> which depict an imagined Anglican counterpart to the Jesuits, and with Jesuits portrayed positively. If Ponson was more informed he could have used the real life <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Order">Orange Lodge</a> of Freemasonry which is/was very much politically involved in opposing the causes of Irish and Scottish independence.<br />
<br />
If you want to for fun read an Unintentionally (maybe) hilarious defense of the Jesuits by a 19th Century French Catholic Royalist. I recommend Paul Feval's, it's the only of his post "conversion" works available in English. <a href="http://theshadowmenlounge.tumblr.com/post/138210841036/jesuits-enlgish-translation-interesting">http://theshadowmenlounge.tumblr.com/post/138210841036/jesuits-enlgish-translation-interesting</a><br />

None of my undermining of Jesuit Conspiracy theories here makes me a Catholic Apologist, you can see my opposition to Catholic Doctrine is quite harsh on my <a href="http://solascripturachristianliberty.blogspot.com/search/label/Popery">Socla Scirptura Blog</a>.Kuudere-Kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.com5
