Five Yankee Authors

Five Yankee Authors

Thomas Allen

In To the Victor Go the Myths & Monuments: The History of the First 100 Years of the War Against God and the Constitution, 1776 - 1876, and Its Modern Impact (Appleton, Wisconsin: American Opinion Foundation Publishing, 2016), Arthur R. Thompson provides some interesting, but little known, facts about five well-known Yankee authors: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry D. Thoreau, and Walt Whitman. All five were anti-Christian Transcendentalists and proponents of the Illuministic New World Order.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson (1803-1882) was a Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard and a Unitarian minister who used the Unitarian Church to promote socialism. Also, he was a leader of the Death of God movement. Moreover, he worked to change the sacraments and to reduce the essence of Christianity to something called God but without Christ.

Furthermore, he was an early leader of Transcendentalism and participated in the Transcendentalist Club. (Transcendentalism substitutes spiritualism for Christianity and provides an intellectual side to socialism. Although it appears to be a rational, reason-oriented philosophy seeking the truth, it is really a transformation from Christ to antichrist.) 

Emerson went to Europe during the Revolution of 1848 and met with many of its leaders. He was a socialist and a radical revolutionist, who praised Mazzini and  Kossuth, both of whom were revolutionary leaders.

Further, Emerson was a contributor to the Democratic Review and the Dail. (The  Democratic Review promoted the agenda of Young America. The Dail was the journal of the Transcendentalist movement in New England. Young America was a movement that advocated social reform, territorial expansion [American imperialism], national unity [nationalism], American exceptionalism, democracy, democratic participation [expansion of suffrage], free trade, and economic interdependence. Also, it supported republican and anti-aristocratic movements abroad and opposed European hierarchical society. [Young America appears to have been the forefather of today's neoconservatives.])

Additionally, Emerson was a speaker for the Boston Lyceon Bureau. (The Boston Lyceon Bureau sought to indoctrinate people to support a socialist new world order.)

Also, he was a founder of the Radical Club, which he later left, and the Free Religious Association. (The Radical Club sought to influence the arts, letters, publishing, etc. Consisting of the most radical of the Unitarians, the Free Religious Association promoted social Darwinism, rejected Christianity, and promoted rationalism theology.)

Emerson also was involved in the Brook Farm, a communist commune.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Hawthorne (1804-1864) was a Transcendentalist Fourierist, a member of Emerson’s study group, the Saturday Club, and Young America, and was involved in the Brook Farm. (The Saturday Club was a club of free thinkers and socialists whose objective was to dominate American intellectual and publishing pursuits.)

Hawthorne was appointed an assistant collector of customs in Boston. Later, President Pierce, whose biography Hawthorne wrote, appointed him the consul to Liverpool.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Longfellow (1807–1882) was an early leader of Transcendentalism, a member of Emerson’s study group, and a member of the Saturday Club.

Henry D. Thoreau

Thoreau (1817–1862) was an early leader of Transcendentalism and a member of Emerson’s study group and was involved in the Brook Farm. Also, he was a contributor to the Democratic Review and the Dail.

Walt Whitman

Whitman (1819-1892) was an early leader of Transcendentalism and a member of Emerson’s study group. Also, he was a contributor to the Democratic Review.

Further, he was a leader of the Equal Rights Party. (The Equal Rights Party came out of the radical wing of the Democratic Party. It was strongly egalitarian and opposed banks, paper money, and monopolies.)

A Letter: Money and Conspiracy Part 2 — Conspiracy

A Letter: Money and Conspiracy

Part 2 — Conspiracy

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: The following is a letter written in 2004 responding to an article by Mr. Rittenouse in Countryside. This letter has been divided into two parts: Part 1 — Money and Part 2 — Conspiracy.]

    Mr. Rittenhouse pooh-poohs the thought that some cabal may be working to control governments and the world. Some high and mighty people disagree with him. Here is a sample of what some of these important people have said about this cabal. I dare say; these people had much more insider information than Mr. Rittenhouse.
    Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.: “We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as words and money.”
    Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, “the outstanding power behind the New Deal”: “The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.” At a dinner party, Frankfurter was asked who ran the United States; he replied, “The real rulers of a nation are undiscoverable.”
    John F. Hylan, mayor of New York: “The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation. . . . At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers [who] virtually run the U.S. government for their own selfish purposes.”
    After observing governmental leaders of the United States consistently making concessions to the Soviet Union, James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense, commented, “These men are not incompetent or stupid. They are crafty and brilliant. Consistency has never been a mark of stupidity. If they were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor.”
    President-elect Ronald Reagan: “I think there is an elite in this country and they are the very ones who run an elitist government. They want a government by a handful of people because they don’t believe the people themselves can run their lives. . . . Are we going to have an elitist government that makes decisions for people’s lives, or are we going to believe as we have for so many decades, that the people can make these decisions for themselves?”
    A few years after resigning as President, Richard Nixon wrote, “The nation’s immediate problem is that while the common man fights America’s wars, the intellectual elite sets its agenda. Today, whether the West lives or dies is in the hands of its new power elite: those who set the terms of public debate, who manipulate the symbols, who decide whether nations or leaders will be depicted on 100 million television sets as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ This power elite sets the limits of the possible for President and Congress. It molds the impressions that move the nation, or that mire it.”
    Jim Kirk, who had been a member of the Students for a Democratic Society, Communist Party, and the Black Panthers, said about the control of radical left groups: “Young people have no conception of the conspiracy’s strategy of pressure from above and pressure from below. . . . They have no idea that they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate. The radicals think they are fighting the forces of the super rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and they don’t realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes.”
    Nicholas M. Butler, president of Columbia University, said to the Union League of Philadelphia: “The old world order died with the setting of the day’s sun and a New World Order is being born while I speak.” Butler was “J.P. Morgan’s chief spokesman for ivied halls.”
    Edward Bernays, chief advisor to William Paley, founder of CBS: “Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country. . . . It remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons. . . . It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. . . . As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by opinion may be regimented.”
    Manly P. Hall, 33rd degree Freemason and a member of its inner circle, and probably the greatest Freemason of the twentieth century: “There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed, an Order of the Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that civilization has secret destiny. The outcome of this ‘secret destiny’ is a World Order ruled by a King with supernatural powers. This King was descended of a divine race; that is, he belonged to the Order of the Illumined for those who come to a state of wisdom then belong to a family of heroes-perfected human beings.” He also wrote, “. . . It is beyond question that the secret societies of all ages have exercised a considerable degree of political influence. . . .”
    Winston Churchill admitted the existence of conspiracy when he wrote in 1920, “From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman, this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization . . . has been steadily growing.”
    According to Lenin, the Communist Party could not survive without conspiracy. He wrote, “Conspiracy is so essential a condition of an organization of this kind that all other conditions . . . must be made to conform with it.”
    In a speech in 1931 before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs, the historian Arnold Toynbee said, “We are at the present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local national states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicists can perhaps not quite be burned at the stake but certainly be ostracized and discredited.”
    ABC commentator Cokie Roberts remarked, “Global bankers are really running the world.”
    James Warburg, son of Paul Warburg, the author of the Federal Reserve System: “We shall have world government whether or not you like it — by conquest or consent.”
    Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Great Britain: “The world is governed by very different personage from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
    Benjamin Disraeli: “The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.”
    Franklinton Delano Roosevelt: “Nothing just happens in politics. If something happens you can be sure it was planned that way.”
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt: “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
    Elliot Roosevelt, son of Franklin Roosevelt: “There are within our world perhaps only a dozen organizations, which shape the course of our various destinies as rightly as the regularly constitutional government.”
    William Colby, CIA Director: “Sometimes, there are forces too powerful for us to whip them individually, in the time frame that we would like. . . . The best we might be able to do sometimes, is to point out the truth and then step aside.”
     Gary Allen, a historian of conspiracies: “. . . many of the major world events that are shaping destinies occur because somebody or somebodies have planned them that way. If we were merely dealing with the laws of average, half of the events affecting our nation’s well-being should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere incompetence, our leaders should occasionally make a mistake in our favor. . . . we are not really dealing with coincidence or stupidity, but with planning and brilliance.”
    Andre Baron: “Remember that the constant rule of the secret society is that the real authors never show themselves.”
    If these quotations do not suggest a conspiratorial cabal, then the origins of the Federal Reserve System should. The essence of what eventually became the act that established the Federal Reserve System was written by Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. Assisting him were  Henry P. Davison, senior partner of J. P. Morgan and Co.; Charles D. Norton, president of (Morgan’s) First National Bank of New York; Frank A. Vanderlip, President of (William Rockefeller’s) National City Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong, vice-president of (Morgan’s) Bankers Trust Co.; A. Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; and Senator Nelson Aldrich, Morgan’s leading representative in Washington. This group met in secret in 1910 on Jekyll Island and drafted what eventually became the Federal Reserve System.
    The conspiratorial historians may be wrong, but the evidence strongly suggests that they are right.

Southern History: The First Reconstruction

The First Reconstruction
Thomas Allen

With the end of the War came Reconstruction. When the War ended with the Northern army carrying the day on the battlefield, the Radical Republicans were determined to carry the day in the political arena. They were determined to reconstruct the Southern States in their own image. They were determined to remake the entire United States. They were determined that the Republican Party would rule forever and would rule absolutely. To accomplish this agenda, Congress, under the control of the Radical Republicans, enacted a number of laws to remold the South and maintain Republican supremacy. According to Thomas Robinson Hay, “The chief aim of these Reconstruction acts was political and the result was the creation of a class government subject to and supported by the military. In addition, the acts were designed to cripple and so handicap Southern business and industry as to eliminate them as effective competitors of Northern business.”[1] In his Third Annual Message to Congress on December 3, 1867, President Andrew Johnson expressed his objection to these despotic acts as follows:

Yet the system of measures established by these [Reconstruction] acts of Congress does totally subvert and destroy the form as well as the substance of republican government in the ten States to which they apply. It binds them hand and foot in absolute slavery, and subjects them to a strange and hostile power, more unlimited and more likely to be abused than any other now known among civilized men. It tramples down all those rights in which the essence of liberty consists, and which a free government is always most careful to protect. It denies the habeas corpus and the trail by jury. Personal freedom, property, and life, if assailed by the passion, the prejudice, or the rapacity of the ruler, have no security whatever. It has the effect of a bill of attainder or bill of pains and penalties, not upon a few individuals, but upon whole masses, including the millions who inhabit the subject States, and even their unborn children. These wrongs, being expressly forbidden, can not be constitutionally inflicted upon any portion of our people. . . .[2]

(President Johnson’s statement is just as appropriate today — perhaps even more appropriate — when applied to the Second Reconstruction. Judicial decrees issued since 1954 and federal laws enacted since 1960 have done even more damage to republicanism, federalism, and freedom than the Reconstruction laws of the 1860s. If only Lyndon Johnson had been more like Andrew Johnson.) Johnson held that high officials of the Confederacy should be punished, but he opposed punishing Southerners in general. He adamantly objected to subverting the Constitution and the republican form of government in order to punish those Southerners that he held guilty. Although he acknowledged that military rule would not be perpetual, nevertheless he did not favor it. He remonstrated:

If the guarantees of the Constitution can be broken provisionally to serve a temporary purpose, and in a part only of the country, we can destroy them everywhere and for all time. Arbitrary measures often change for the worse. It is the curse of despotism that it has no halting place. The intermitted exercise of its power brings no sense of security to its subjects, for they can never know what more they will be called to endure when its red right hand is armed to plague them again. Nor is it possible to conjecture how or where power, unrestrained by law, may seek its next victims.[3]

Johnson’s remonstration was ignored. The South endured tyranny for twelve years following the War. What Johnson predicted would happen has again happened in the South, for the South once again endures tyranny.

The South would now endure the tyranny of Reconstruction, which Richard H. Cain, a Black man, described as follows: “When the smoke and fighting is over, the Negroes have nothing gained, the whites have nothing left, while the jackals have all the booty.”[4] Claude G. Bowers wrote about Reconstruction, “Brutal men, inspired by personal ambition or party motives, assumed the pose of philanthropists and patriots.”[5] Frank Owsley declared of Reconstruction, “For ten years the South, already ruined by the loss of nearly $2,000,000,000 [nearly 25 billion in 2006 dollars] invested in slaves, with its lands worthless, its cattle and stock gone, its houses burned, was turned over to the three millions of former slaves. . . . For ten years ex-slaves, led by carpetbaggers and scalawags, continued the pillage of war, combing the South for anything left by the invading armies, levying taxes, selling empires of plantations under the auction hammer, dragooning the Southern population, and visiting upon them ultimate humiliations.”[6] Robert Somers, an English writer traveling through the South five years after the War, described life in the South as follows: “nearly every respectable white man in the Southern States was not only disfranchised but under fear of arrest or confiscation; the old foundations of authority were utterly razed before any new ones had yet been laid, and in the dark and benighted internal the remains of the Confederate armies — swept after a long and heroic day of fair fight from the field — flittered before the eyes of the people in this weird and midnight shape of a Ku Klux Klan.”[7] It was, in the words of John Peale Bishop, a “ten-year period of dictatorship of the proletariat, under the Republican Party. . . .”[8] Reconstruction was an era characterized by Thomas Nelson Page as an attempt “made after the war to destroy the South. She was dismembered, disfranchised, and denationalized. The States which composed her were turned by her conquerors into military districts, and their governments were subverted into military tribunals.”[9] Although the Northerners did not literally follow the advice of the Honorable George W. Julian, an Indiana Republican, “I would hang liberally while I had my hand in,”[10] it did deprive most Whites of their political rights as long as they could. With the backing of the Union army, Northern carpetbaggers, Southern scalawags, and Black quislings stole as much property as they could. (The Independent Monitor of Tuscaloosa gave a most appropriate description of the Southern scalawag, “Our scalawag is the local leper of the community. Unlike the carpet bagger, he is native, which is so much the worse. Once he was respected in his circle; his head was level, and he would look his neighbor in the face. Now, possessed of the itch of office and the salt rheum [tears] of Radicalism, he is a mangy dog, slinking through the alleys, haunting the governor’s office, defiling with tobacco juice the steps of the Capitol, stretching his lazy carcass in the sun on the Square, or the benches of the Mayor’s Court.”[11]) The United States government’s treatment of Southerner’s during Reconstruction was based on the principle that Southerners were, as General Pettus said, “an inferior, degraded people and not fit to be trusted.”[12]

With the emancipation of the slaves after the War came the Black Codes in several Southern States. The Black Codes of the South were modeled after New England labor codes. However, the abolitionists and unionists quickly castigated and vetoed these codes. If Blacks comprised as large a percentage of the population in the North as they did in the South, undoubtedly most Northern States would have had Black Codes. Perhaps an exception would have been Indiana and Illinois: They made it illegal for Negroes to enter them.

The North proclaimed the equality of the Black man with the White man — in the South, of course, but not in the North. The Northern industrialists, bankers, and their politicians saw the importance of the Black man in the South in maintaining their control of the United States government through the Republican Party. The Black man was the key to their new world order (centralized banking, regulated business for the advantage of big business, growing governmental debt, subsidies from the government, protective tariffs, i.e., the concentration and consolidation of political and economic power) that Southerners opposed. “Equality of the franchise for freedmen was deemed essential to Republican supremacy, and Republican supremacy was considered necessary by influential classes to protect the new economic order,”[13] wrote C. Vann Woodward. Thus, Blacks received the vote in the Southern States before they received the vote in most Northern States. Their vote was unnecessary in the North for Republican supremacy; in the North, the bloody shirt was all that was needed. To ensure further Republican supremacy in the South, many Whites were deprived of their right to vote.

Blacks were to be enfranchised in the South but not in the North. On the Black enfranchisement issue, the Republican platform of 1868 proclaimed, “The guaranty by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrage in all loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States.”[14] Such was the position of the Republican Party until Grant became President and the Fifteenth Amendment was proposed and ratified. (This Amendment was more vigorously enforced in the South, and continues to be, than it ever was, or has been, in the North.)

The abolitionists and other Northerners who hated the South and Southerners saw equality as the means to punish Southerners. C. Vann Woodward described this hatred for Southerners:

Abolitionists had grounded their whole crusade against slavery on the proposition that it was a ‘sin.’ It is not sufficient simply to abolish a sin; it has to be expiated, and the sinner purified. Purification and expiation involve penance and suffering. Equality had a punitive purpose: the infliction of a penance of humiliation upon the status of the sinner. For those with an uncomplicated interest in sheer vengeance upon a hated foe, equality had punitive uses of a simpler sort.[15]

Lincoln’s solution to the race problem was repatriation. In an executive proclamation issued concurrently with his Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln stated:

I have urged the colonization of the Negroes, and I shall continue. My Emancipation Proclamation was linked with this plan. There is no room for two distinct races of white men in America, much less for two distinct races of whites and blacks. I can conceive of no greater calamity than the assimilation of the Negro into our social and political life as equal. . . .[16]

Why wasn’t Lincoln’s plan to repatriate Blacks implemented after the War? It was not implemented because the pious, sanctimonious Radical Republicans hated the South and all that was Southern. They wanted to humiliate Southerners by having Blacks rule over them. But more than that. They wanted to destroy Southerners. They wanted to use the Negro to breed the Southerner out of existence.

“The war had been fought upon the theory that the old Union must be preserved; but the basic theory of the reconstruction was that a new Union was to be created,”[17] wrote Walter Fleming. The abolitionists were determined to create a new South without Southerners. Thaddeus Stevens, who was arguably the most powerful man in the United States government from the death of Lincoln in 1865 until his own death in 1868, said that the United States should treat the Southern States “as conquered provinces and settle them with new men and exterminate or drive out the present rebels as exiles.”[18] (Such was the object after the War; such remains the objective today.) Walter Fleming described Stevens as “vindictive and unscrupulous, filled with hatred of Southern leaders, bitter in speech and possessing to an extreme degree the facility of making ridiculous those who opposed him.”[19]

What Stevens and the Radical Republicans did was, as Thomas Nelson Page informed, to take “eight millions of the caucasian race, a people which in their devotion and their self-sacrifice, in their transcendent vigor of intellect, their intrepid valor in the field, and their fortitude in defeat, had just elevated their race in the eyes of mankind, and placed them under the domination of their former slaves.”[20] According to Thomas Page, “the eight years of negro domination in the South cost the South more than the entire cost of the war, inclusive of the loss of values in slave property.”[21]

Commenting on Reconstruction, Charles Francis Adams, a Union officer, public official, and historian, wrote, “It may not unfairly be doubted whether a people prostrated after civil conflict has ever received severer measure than was dealt out of the so-called reconstructed Confederate States during the years immediately succeeding the close of strife.”[22] Reconstruction was an era of actual servile domination and outrages and humiliations worse than outrages.

Whatever else Reconstruction gave the South, it gave the Southern States corrupt governments. E.L. Godkin, editor of the New York Nation and supporter of the Reconstruction acts, described the State governmental officials in Georgia as “probably as bad a lot of political tricksters and adventurers as ever got together in one place.”[23] This description could have been written as equally well about the White officials of all the other reconstructed States. Richard Weaver elucidated on the governments of the Southern States during this period: “State governments were set up consisting of outsiders with various axes to grind, the scum of local populace and the misled and eventually victimized freedmen.”[24] (The legacy of corrupt government continues to curse the South even to this day. Unfortunately, corrupt governments controlled by the scalawags, carpetbaggers, and quislings have been more the rule than the exception since the War.)

In the end, what Reconstruction gave the South was, as Walter Fleming described, a “new generation of whites [that] was poor, bitter because of persecution, ill educated, overworked, without a bright future, and shadowed by the race problem.”[25] Perhaps this is what Yankeedom really wanted for the South all along. Demoralized people are easily controlled people.

With the election of 1876, the Republican Party needed to cut a deal with the South to maintain power. The South gave the presidential election to the Republicans, and the Republicans ended Reconstruction.

Illuminism’s War

Illuminism’s War
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnote in the original is omitted.]

An apparent paradox occurs in the execution of the illuministic program. With the exceptions of Muslims, Chinese, Japanese, and Hindus, nearly all Illuminists are Aryans. Yet one goal of Illuminism is the annihilation of the Aryan people. On the surface this conflict is a paradox — in carrying out their program to annihilate the Aryan people, these Illuminists must in the end destroy themselves. However, once one looks beneath the surface and realizes that Lucifer is behind Illuminism, then the paradox goes away. Since God’s creation of Adam and Eve, Lucifer’s goal has been to destroy the race that God created in his image. Thus, Lucifer deludes Aryans into eradicating Aryans — a great irony of history.

History is a war between Lucifer and the forces of evil and Christ and the forces of holiness. This warfare is occurring in the Aryan race, which is the race created in the image of God.[1] The other races are merely peripheral to this war although they are often important actors in it. This war is taking place in both the spiritual and physical realm.

The forces of Lucifer operate in the darkness through semi-secret and secret societies, circles within circles. The forces of Christ operate in the light, in the open. Followers of Christ must fight like gentlemen while followers of Lucifer can use all sorts of vile, underhanded, dastardly, deceptive tactics.

Christianity gains followers by presenting the truth, which Jesus taught openly. Illuministic societies conceal their beliefs and goals. They place great emphasis on keeping their fundamental doctrines secret. While Christianity relies on the power of its doctrines, illuministic societies rely on deception. Christianity seeks to save its enemies whereas illuministic societies seek to destroy theirs. Unlike Lucifer’s secret societies, Jesus does not require his followers to be initiated with horrific ceremonies designed to terrorize the initiate’s soul. Illuministic societies rely on fear and rituals to gain knowledge; Christianity relies on love.

Participants in this age-old war fall into three basic groups. In one group are the followers of Lucifer. This group includes the Illuminists and their allies, agents, dupes, sympathizers, fellow-travelers, and opportunists. They are aware of the war although probably most outside the Illuminists themselves, are ignorant of the war’s spiritual nature. In the second group are the followers of Christ. Most are aware that a spiritual war is taking place although most are ignorant of the scope. The third group is the largest. This group does not have a clue about what is happening. If they think about this war at all, they dismiss it as allegorical or mythological. The Illuminists have easily manipulated and used them, and they do not even know it.

Although it reveals itself in the physical world, the New World Order is much more a spiritual war than a temporal, materialistic war. It is a continuation of Lucifer’s rebellion against God. Carr summarizes this war as follows:

Thus we see that the issue is not temporal and materialistic as those who direct the conspiracy would have us believe. We are involved in a continuation of the Luciferian revolt against the supreme power and authority of Almighty God whom the Luciferians name Adonay. We are taught about the infinite goodness of our God but we are kept in ignorance of the fact that the Luciferian revolt started in the celestial world we call Heaven because Lucifer challenged the supremacy of Adonay on the grounds that his plan for the Rule of the Universe was weak and impractical because it was based on the premise that all lesser beings could be educated into knowing him [sic], loving Him, and serving Him, out of respect for His infinite perfection.

Lucifer claimed that the only way to rule the entire universe is to establish a totalitarian dictatorship, and enforce the Will of the Dictator with absolute despotism. The word Universe as used by those who have accepted the Luciferian ideology in this and other celestial worlds, means The Totality of existing things including the earth, the heavenly or celestial bodies, and all else throughout space.[2]

Griffin describes the devastating effect that Illuminism has had on America as follows:

American society has been turned upside down, and torn limb from limb. America the Beautiful, the fable land of the free and the home of the brave, has been devastated. The greatest, freest, wealthiest, most powerful nation in the annuals of human history has been raped, plundered, and polluted. We have become a nation of pathetic, quivering wimps who stand for nothing, yet will fall for anything.[3]

The despots of history, such as Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, have risen to power more through Lucifer’s spiritual manipulation of the physical world than through human efforts. Likewise, with the great horrible historical events like the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution, Lucifer has been the guiding force. In the spiritual realm, he has more to do with directing the events of these tragedies than the visible human actors.

Lucifer’s goal is to destroy Christianity and by that destroy Christ — thus, the animosity of Illuminists and their secret societies toward Christ and Christianity — and their animus toward the Aryan race, the race that God created in his image. Failing that, as he most likely knows that he will fail to destroy the Son of God, he seeks to destroy as many lives as possible to claim as many souls as possible — especially the souls of Aryans because God created them in His image.

May Craig offered the following sage advice to defeat Illuminism:

Unless there is a change, deep-down in the American people, a genuine crusade against self indulgence and immorality, public and private, then we are witnesses to the decline and fall of the American Republic. . . .

First, everyone of us has to clean out weakness and selfishness and immorality of all types. Then, choose leaders who with strength and principle and intelligence will lead us to where we can have self respect and the respect of others.[4]

Only a return to true Christianity can defeat Illuminism. Christian symbols and prayers in the name of Christ Jesus must be openly used at public events and in schools. (Public schools, the temples of Pantheism, need to be abandon in favor of home schools and church schools.) All children need to receive a Christian education. Impiety and secret societies must be abandoned and suppressed. All forms of Illuminism must be exposed and eradicated. Only a return to Christ can defeat Lucifer and save the Aryan people.

Christians must overcome their apathy and passivity. They must cease meekly standing by and allowing Lucifer and his agents to destroy Christianity without any resistance. They must overcome their denial of the tyranny taking place around them. They must recognize that a great spiritual war is occurring, and it is being manifested on Earth as Illuminism. They must recapture their country and its culture and govern it in the name of Christ. They must capture the imagination of the Aryan people.

Christ was no appeaser or compromiser. Christians should follow His example and cease appeasement and compromise with the evil of Illuminism. If they resist Illuminism and follow Christ, He will lead them to victory and peace.

The battle belongs to the small remnant of Christians who have not succumbed to Zionism, to the fatalism of the Calvinists or the futurists (some to the point of aiding the Illuminists with the hope of bringing Jesus’ second coming quicker), or to the lie of never questioning government and always being obedient to your rulers because they are God’s ministers, no matter how satanic they are.

Readers need to heed the warning of Pope Benedict XV:

The coming of a world state is longed for, by all the worst and most distorted elements. This state, based on the principles of absolute equality of men and a community of possessions would banish all national loyalties. In it no acknowledgment would be made of the authority of a father over his children or of God over human society. If these ideas are put into practice, there will inevitably follow a reign of unheard-of-terror.[5]

More than 200 years ago, Barruel wrote this admonition about the conspiracy of the Illuminati:

Cease to flatter yourselves. The danger is certain, it is continual, it is terrible, it threatens you all without exception. Keep yourselves, however, from giving way to that kind of terror which is only cowardice and discouragement; for, which all the certainty of the danger, I say to you none the less: Will to be saved and you will be saved. . . . One cannot triumph over a nation that resolves to defend itself. Know how to will as they do and you will have nothing more to fear from them.[6]

This warning is as true today as then.

Illuminism Politically

Illuminism Politically

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

Illuminism’s political ideology is today revealed in Communism. Like Communism, Illuminism is political collectivism. Its major political doctrines, as Kelly summarizes, are:

1. Anarchism, i.e., the theory that government is by nature intrinsically evil and should not exist.

2. Totalitarianism, i.e., the theory that it is essential to establish a universal dictatorship in order to bring about the condition wherein all civil and ecclesiastical authority will cease to exist.

3. The “withering away” of the dictatorship, i.e., the theory, fabricated for propaganda purposes, that the totalitarian dictatorship will automatically wither away when all governments are under control, and all advocates of legitimate civil authority, along with the remnants of their influence, are exterminated.[1]

These doctrines are also the basic political principles of Communism. Communism is merely an outgrowth or branch of Illuminism. Illuminism is the father of Communism.

Among the great evils that Illuminism identifies are private property, civil authority, nationalism, patriotism, localism (states’ rights), the Aryan race, family, individuality, and Christianity. All these evils prevent humanity from enjoying illuministic freedom and equality. Thus, to obtain universal happiness, equality, and freedom, not only must these evils be annihilated at all cost, so must be any notion of them. Then mankind will become one united happy family.[2]

To achieve its goal of universal illuministic freedom and equality, Illuminism, like Communism, requires a global totalitarian government. All other governments are subordinate to this global government. This universal dictatorship is necessary to purge the world of the evilness of oppression and exploitation created by private property. This government would have absolute power with no check on its authority and would not be subjected to any law.[3]

While it advocates abolishing all government, Illuminism, like Communism, advocates total government. Thus, Illuminists need to explain away this contradiction. The explanation that they came up with was the doctrine of “withering away” of the state. According to this doctrine, total government is only temporary; once its need ceases, it will disappear. Exactly how this “withering away” occurs varies with the time and Illuminist offering the explanation.[4]

The “withering away” of this global totalitarian government is a hoax, and most Illuminists know that it is a hoax. Once instituted, this global government will create two classes: masters (the Illuminists) and slaves (the masses). Then the function of this government would be to maintain this caste system. The Illuminists would use this government to do exactly what they condemn national governments for doing and what they give as a reason to destroy these governments.

Once instituted, mankind would suffer terrorism and horrors that would far exceed those suffered by the Russians, Chinese, Cambodians, and others under Communism. At least the masses will receive the envious chimera of equality.

To conceal their evil intentions, Illuminists often present themselves as scholars and their societies as scholarly organizations for the advancement of learning and the betterment of mankind. They express great concern about the plight of the poor and a desire to improve the conditions of the masses. Usually, they are strong supporters of democracy. All of this is a facade to conceal their real goal of destroying the religious and political order of society and institute their New World Order with its global totalitarian government.

Once the New World Order is in place, a few wealthy families will rule the world for the benefit of these families. They will rule without any moral or ethical restraints.

Illuminists have been involved in every type of activist movement whose objective has been to destroy the United States as a free county. These movements included feminism, humanism, racial integration, Communism, homosexualism, and multiculturalism.

Today the dream of Nimrod is carried on not only by secret societies and semi-secret societies like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, and Communist Party, but also by their front organizations like the United Nations, International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Trade Organization (WTO), European Union (EU), North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Organization of American States (OAS), Organization for African Unity (OAU), and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). All these organizations have one goal: establishing a New World Order with a totalitarian world government where a small elite rules the masses for the benefit of the Illuminists.

Illuminism Organizationally

Illuminism Organizationally

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

Since the Congress of Wilhelmsbad in 1782 when the Order of the Illuminati, Freemasonry, and other secret societies united, a supreme directory, which restricts itself to no more than 40 members, has governed secret societies of the Western world. Over this directory is a chief. The first such chief and directory were Adam Weishaupt and his Inner Circle in Germany. Next came the Alta Vendita headed by B. Nubius, an Italian nobleman, in Italy. Then came Giuseppe Mazzini as chief in 1837, and the Alta Vendita moved to Paris. Lord Palmerston (Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount of Palmerston) followed Mazzini sometime after 1848. Mazzini rose again after Palmerston’s death in 1865.[1] Albert Pike followed Mazzini after he died in 1872 and the Dogmatic Council of Charleston became the supreme directory.[2] In 1893, two years after Pike died, Adriano Lemmi, a Jew, became chief, and the Jewish Sovereign Patriarchal Council of Hamburg became the supreme directory.[3]

Today, it is doubtful that any one individual can be said to be the head of the Illuminists in the sense that these men headed the Illuminists in the nineteenth century (although a good argument can be made that David Rockefeller or Charles, the Prince of Wales, was the head during the last part of the twentieth century). The circle of Illuminists has grown too large and diverse to be headed by one individual. Today an oligarchic council leads it.

Mullins gives the following picture of the overall structure of today’s secret organization. At the top is the Council of Five, which is composed of the family leaders of the Rothschilds and their closest associates. Next is the Council of 13. Then comes the Council of 500. The World’s leading politicians and business leaders and prominent religious and academic leaders compose the Council of 500. (Members of the Bilderberg Group are part of the Council of 500.) Then comes B’nai B’brith and the Grand Orient followed by the Communists. Next are the Scottish Rite and York Rite. At the base is the White Masonry, such as the Rotary International, Elks, and Young Man’s Christian Association (YMCA). Below them are the Blue Lodges (the first three degrees of Freemasonry) followed by Masons without the apron. At the bottom of the pyramid is secular humanism.[4]

Illuminists are not monolithic. They are not always unified in their efforts — at least the front organizations are not. Furthermore, being inherently evil people, Illuminists are often involved in power struggles. Illuminism contains factions. Although these factions often disagree on tactics, they always agree on the ultimate goal — world domination with the illuministic elite ruling all. For example, the communist faction prefers violent revolutions to establish socialism quickly. The Fabian faction prefers to establish socialism gradually. (The Communists prefer throwing the frog into boiling water while the Fabians prefer placing the frog in cool water and then slowing raising the temperature. Or to use Nesta Webster’s comparison, Communists prefer clubbing their victims to death; Fabians prefer bleeding them to death.) This great lust for supreme power is the basic cause of disagreement and conflict among Illuminists.

As the Illuminists approach their goal of world domination and the destruction of Christianity and the Aryan race, the rivalry at the top becomes more intense. Although the Illuminists present a unified front, each faction wants to be on top. Even within factions, certain individuals strive to be supreme. Only Lucifer can maintain unity with his promise of world domination. The closer the Illuminists come to achieving this goal, the more fragile becomes their unity.

Who are the Illuminists? They are the Insiders of secret societies. They occupy the apex of the pyramid or the inner circle. They are the ones who ultimately nourish, direct, and control the secret societies. They know the true purpose of their societies. They know that their god and spiritual leader is Lucifer. The Illuminists are the true believers and preachers of Illuminism. They are today’s globalists and supporters of world government and the New World Order. They include the international financiers, Trilateralists, Bilderbergers, Communists, Talmudic Jews, Zionists, and Fabian Socialists; members of the Skull and Bones and the Council on Foreign Relations; and the inner circle of the New Agers, Freemasons, and Rosicrucians. The Illuminists are the rich and powerful. More important, they are the scholars and intellects who seek wealth and power and who are willing to show the rich and powerful how to use their wealth and power to rule the world in exchange for wealth and power. Nearly all Illuminists are from the upper class and upper middle class. Illuminists are also known as the Elite, Insiders, Establishment, and Globalists.

Illuminists fall into several factions. The major ones are (1) the Anglo-American establishment, which controls the United States, Great Britain, and the other white English-speaking countries, (2) Jews, principally Zionist Jews and Jewish international financiers, (3) the Communists, who are centered in Russia and New York, (4) the Continental European establishment, which Germans dominate and which controls the European Union, (5) New Agers, including Hindus and Buddhists (6) the Muslims, and (7) the Chinese hierarchy, who came to power following World War II as a result of the Communists, Anglo-American establishment, and, to a lesser extent, Jews. Even within these major factions are other factions. These factions do not always act in one accord. Although they agree on the ultimate goal, they at times disagree on how to achieve it. They certainly disagree on who should run the world once the New World Order is fully in place.

Many members of an illuministic organization are not aware that they are members of such an organization. They are unaware that they are part of a conspiracy to fulfill the Nimrodic dream of world domination. A common characteristic of secret societies is that those who control them get many people working for a cause that is unknown to them. The more open the organization and the less selective it is about who joins, the more likely the typical member is ignorant of the organization’s illuministic affiliation and goals. On the other hand, the closer the organization is to the center and the more selective it is about who joins, the more likely the members are true Illuminists. All the members of the inner most organizations are Illuminists. These organizations are the most secretive and selective. They select only known Illuminists.

To achieve their goal of world domination, Illuminists use many approaches. To remain hidden, they work through front organizations. Learned and literary societies are ideal for spreading their propaganda. So are philanthropic foundations with their enormous power of money. They gain control of schools and use them to teach their ideology. Capturing the pulpit and controlling religious training is invaluable. Controlling the judiciary, military academies, publishers, and news media is extremely important to advancing the illuministic cause. Women are subverted and are used to gain influence and control over men who are not Illuminists. (Emancipation, especially emancipation from a woman’s duty to God and family, is used to subvert women.)

Through flattery, sex, wealth, power, fear, extortion, and blackmail, the Illuminists maintain control of their secret society members, agents, dupes, sympathizers, fellow travelers, and opportunists — nearly all of whom are unaware that they are participating in a Grand Conspiracy to destroy the Aryan race, Christianity, and Western Civilization although many of them may consider this a worthy goal. The Illuminists promise all their followers that they will be rulers.[5] They exercise freely Babeuf’s principle. F.N. Babeuf (Gracchus), a French Revolutionist who advocated the abolition of private property, enunciated a key component used by secret societies to keep their members (and puppets from the public) obedient: “From the start, force the people to commit acts which will prevent them from deserting the revolution and retreating. All reflection on the part of the people is to be prevented.”[6]

Social pressure, especially among young intellectuals, is also an effective recruiting tool. Most intellectuals would rather be thought of as socialists, Communists, and other kinds of Illuminists, except fascists, than be thought of as reactionaries.

Another thing that the New World Order has working in its favor to recruit followers of Illuminism is that “agitation” pays well, and has for more than 200 years. Many middle class people who would have performed useful tasks, albeit perhaps not as exciting, end up being authors, book reviewers, journalists, organizers, speakers, and the like who are professional agitators for socialism and other programs of the New World Order.

Illuminists are careful to fill influential positions over which they have control with illuminist adepts and agents. Money flows freely to organizations, societies, and people who promote the New World Order or its ideals. Those who oppose it receive a pauper’s wage.

Illuminists have become masters at exploiting grievances. They find malcontents who have suffered some real or imagined misfortune because of an accident or injustice. These are they people whom Illuminists can excite and manipulate to do the destructive work of the Illuminists.[7]

J. Edgar Hoover called Communists the “Masters of Deceit.” This epitaph should more correctly be applied to Illuminists. Communism, which John Stormer calls “a disease of the intellect,” an epitaph true of all forms of Illuminism, is merely a branch of Illuminism although perhaps the most useful branch in expanding Illuminism. In the United States, Illuminists have effectively used Communism to extend their control over the American people. They have done so not by installing a communist government, but by increasing and consolidating political power in the federal government to protect America from Communism. They have used Communism to distract Americans from realizing their enslavement and to subvert the Christian religion. Zionism, unquestionable, unhesitating servile support of Israel, they have pushed as a weapon against Communism. (Zionism like Communism is merely another branch of Illuminism.) The threat of Communism has been used to concentrate economic power into the multinational corporation and, especially, the international financiers. In the name of fighting Communism, Illuminists have extended their control over the United States, stealing the liberties of the people. While the people lose their rights, the Illuminists consolidate economic and political power into their own hands. (Once people understand this purpose of Communism and its relationship to Illuminism, and its use by the Illuminists who control the United States, they will understand why since 1933 the government of the United States, international financiers, multinational corporations, and philanthropic foundations have expended more effort and resources to keep Communism alive than to destroy it.)

As Communism appeared to have collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Illuminists have had to find another evil with which to terrorize the people into accepting their enslavement. Now terrorism has replaced Communism as the villain from whom an all-powerful government has to protect the people.

Members of secret societies generally fall into two categories: the ideologues and self-serving. The ideologues actually believe the propaganda spewed out by secret societies. They are typically more violent and revolutionary; thus, they are the troops of the Illuminists and are more easily manipulated and controlled. The self-serving join secret societies for their own selfish advancement. They use secret societies to gain wealth, power, and prestige. Once the movement has brought them their wealth and power, they seek to stop the movement’s progress toward its ostensible goal of pure equality. Once they achieve their goals, they want to use secret societies to maintain the new status quo, like the Communists elite using the Soviet Communist party to maintain their status. At this point conflict between these two factions can become violent and open if the ideologues are not checked, which explains why ideologues are often used to absorb the bullets of the enemy. The ideologues who survive the war often end up being executed or imprisoned by their allies. (Dupes, sympathizers, fellow-travelers, and the like are also eliminated after a successful revolution because they know too much, are too closely related to the ideologues, or are no longer needed.) Once the Bolsheviks gained power, they executed, imprisoned, or exiled the anarchists, who were so instrumental in bringing about the Bolshevik Revolution that it might not have happened without them.

Secret societies generally fall into two classes: the mystical and the rational. The Jewish writer, Bernard Lazare, who believes that Jews are behind Freemasonry and most other secret societies, notes that these two types of societies represent the “two sides of the Jewish mind: practical rationalism and pantheism.” Both oppose submission to God through Jesus Christ. Augustin de Barruel defines these two categories as atheism and theosophy.

Secret societies pursue either esoteric knowledge or some ulterior purpose, usually, shared in secrecy. For example, Rosicrucians pursue esoteric knowledge. Communists use secrecy in the pursuit of political power. Freemasonry does both.

Secret societies are divisible into two parties: the party of direction or intellect and the party of action or war. The role of the intellectual party is to contrive and plot. The role of the war party is to combine, recruit, excite, and fight. (Except high-degree officials, who are generally involved in both parties, most members of these two parties are unaware of any connection between them.) Dillon describes the interaction of these two parties as follows:

The members of the war party are always members of the intellectual party, but not vice versa. The war party thus knows what is being plotted. But the other party, concealed as common Freemasons amongst the simpleton of the lodges, cover both sections from danger. If the war party succeeds, the peace party goes forward and seizes upon the offices of state and the reins of power. Their men go to the hustings, make speeches that suit, are written up in the press, which, all the world over, is under Masonic influence. . . . They become the deputies, the ministers . . . and of coarse they make the war party generals, admirals, and officers of the army, the navy, and the police. If the war party fails, the intellectual party, who close their lodges during the combat, appear afterwards as partisans, if possible, of the conquering party, or if they cannot be that, they silently conspire. They manage to get some friends into power. They agitate. They, in either case, come to the assistance of the defeated war party. . . . They cry for mercy. They move the popular compassion. In time, they free the culprits, and thus prepare for new commotions.[8]

Behind every revolutionary movement, the intellectual party is found. The intellectual party usually appears unconnected with the revolution and often condemns it. Yet it zealously supports it indirectly.

The intellectual party presents itself as pacific and constitutional — it lives and operates within the law. It advances Illuminism through peaceful means, such as candidacy for political office and the media. It subdues government, Church, academia, business, and labor. Through its control of the media, it manipulates public opinion.[9]

On the other hand, the war party or revolutionary party advances Illuminism through violence. It uses wars — especially revolutions, rebellions, revolts, and riots — to foster Illuminism.

Often the intellectual party, which includes Freemasonry, will be instructed to pursue one coarse of action while the war party is instructed to oppose them. Such action reduces the chances of exposure — thus, enabling the Illuminists to achieve their New World Order with less obstruction.

Typically, secret societies possess the following common aspects: ascending degrees, centers, secrets, horrible oaths, unhesitating obedience to masters who are frequently unknown, and a death penalty for indiscretions or treason.

According to Manly Hall secret societies serve two extremely important purposes. They are:

. . . the first purpose for their existence . . . was . . . that through the societies they [members of secret societies] were also able to practice beliefs and doctrines in private life for which they would have been condemned and persecuted if these rites were made public. A second purpose for secret societies was to create a mechanism for the perpetuation from generation to generation of policies, principles, or systems of learning, confined to a limited group of selected and initiated persons.[10]

Not all secret societies are evil or conspiratorial. Some have been formed for noble purposes; some, for evil purposes. Many are irrelevant whatever the reason for their origin; the irrelevant are seldom long-lived. However, the very nature of secrecy and structure of inner circles invites corruption of the most noble society.

Two Views of History ‒ Part 2

Two Views of History ‒ Part 2
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

Some well-known Americans readily admit that an elite has conspired to control the United States. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, “the outstanding power behind the New Deal,” remarked, “The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.”[1] At a dinner party, Frankfurter was asked who ran the United States; he replied, “The real rulers of a nation are undiscoverable.”[2]

John F. Hylan, mayor of New York, said, “The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimly length over our city, state and nation. . . . At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers [who] virtually run the U.S. government for their own selfish purposes.”[3]

After observing governmental leaders of the United States consistently making concessions to the Soviet Union, James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense, commented, “These men are not incompetent or stupid. They are crafty and brilliant. Consistency has never been a mark of stupidity. If they were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor.”[4]

President-elect Ronald Reagan said, “I think there is an elite in this country and they are the very ones who run an elitist government. They want a government by a handful of people because they don’t believe the people themselves can run their lives. . . . Are we going to have an elitist government that makes decisions for people’s lives, or are we going to believe as we have for so many decades, that the people can make these decisions for themselves?”[5]

A few years after resigning as President, Richard Nixon wrote, “The nation’s immediate problem is that while the common man fights America’s wars, the intellectual elite sets its agenda. Today, whether the West lives or dies is in the hands of its new power elite: those who set the terms of public debate, who manipulate the symbols, who decide whether nations or leaders will be depicted on 100 million television sets as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ This power elite sets the limits of the possible for President and Congress. It molds the impressions that move the nation, or that mire it.”[6]

Jim Kirk, who had been a member of the Students for a Democratic Society, Communist Party, and the Black Panthers, said about illuminist control of radical left groups, “Young people have no conception of the conspiracy’s strategy of pressure from above and pressure from below. . . . They have no idea that they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate. The radicals think they are fighting the forces of the super rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and they don’t realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes.”[7]

Nicholas M. Butler, president of Columbia University, said to the Union League of Philadelphia, “The old world order died with the setting of the day’s sun and a New World Order is being born while I speak.”[8] Butler was “J.P. Morgan’s chief spokesman for ivied halls.”

Edward Bernays, chief advisor to William Paley, founder of CBS, wrote,

Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country. . . . It remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons. . . . It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. . . . As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented.[9]

Manly P. Hall, an occultist, Satanist, 33rd degree Freemason and a member of its inner circle, and probably the greatest Freemason of the twentieth century, wrote:

There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed, an Order of the Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that civilization has secret destiny.

The outcome of this “secret destiny” is a World Order ruled by a King with supernatural powers.

This King was descended of a divine race; that is, he belonged to the Order of the Illumined for those who come to a state of wisdom then belong to a family of heros-perfected human beings.[10]

He also wrote, “. . . It is beyond question that the secret societies of all ages have exercised a considerable degree of political influence. . . .”[11]

Winston Churchill, a very high-degree Illuminist, admitted the existence of conspiracy when he wrote in 1920, “From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman, this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization . . . has been steadily growing.”[12]

Quartier La Tente, a Freemason, said, “Freemasonry has undertaken a task and a mission. It is a question of nothing less than the reconstruction of society upon an entirely new basis.”[13]

Father Pedro Arrupe, the head of the Jesuit, and as such, an insider’s insider, said, referring to the atheistic conspiracy that had entered the Catholic Church, “This new godless society operates in an extremely efficient manner, at least in its higher levels of leadership. It makes use of every possible means at its disposal, be they scientific, technical, social, or economic. It follows a perfectly mapped-out strategy. It holds almost complete sway in international organizations, in financial circles, in the field of mass communications: press, cinema, radio, and television.”[14] As Arrupe notes, this conspiracy controlled international organizations, finance, and mass communications.

According to Lenin, another high-degree Illuminist, the Communist Party could not survive without conspiracy. He wrote, “Conspiracy is so essential a condition of an organization of this kind that all other conditions . . . must be made to conform with it.”

Another Illuminist, H.G. Wells, a Fabian, wrote, “. . . the unorganized people cannot achieve Socialism, they passed to the implication that organization alone, without popular support, might achieve Socialism. Socialism was to arrive as it were insidiously. . . . Socialism ceased to be an open revolution, and became a plot. Functions were to be shifted, quietly, unostentatiously, from the representative to the official he appointed; a bureaucracy was to slip into power. . . .”[15] According to Wells, socialism, be it welfare statism, democratic socialism, national socialism, fascism, or communism, can only be achieved by conspiracy. As every country on Earth now has some form of socialism, a conspiracy must have existed to achieved the socialization of the world.

In a speech in 1931 before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs, the historian Arnold Toynbee said, “We are at the present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local national states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at the stake but certainly be ostracized and discredited.”[16] Thus, conspiracy would be used to destroy national sovereignty because the people would not knowingly tolerate the destruction of nation states on the altar of Illuminism and its New World Order. The primary tactic being used to destroy the nation state is immigration.

Gary Allen, a conspiracy scientist, summarized these comments about Illuminism when he wrote, “. . . many of the major world events that are shaping destinies occur because somebody or somebodies have planned them that way. If we were merely dealing with the laws of average, half of the events affecting our nation’s well-being should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere incompetence, our leaders should occasionally make a mistake in our favor. . . . [W]e are not really dealing with coincidence or stupidity, but with planning and brilliance.”[17]

ABC commentator Cokie Roberts remarked, “Global bankers are really running the world.”[18]

As shown by the above quotations, world leaders and leaders of secret societies with inside information admit that the conspiratorial explanation of history is correct.

Secret Societies and Conspiracies in the Founding of America

Secret Societies and Conspiracies in the Founding of America

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

Secret societies and conspiracies were highly involved in the founding of American. Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry were heavily involved. Two of the most important conspiracies were the Arnold conspiracy and Randolph conspiracy.

Rosicrucians
In 1693, a movement began in Europe to establish a colony of European Rosicrucian leaders. The objective of these colonists was to establish Rosicrucianism, arts, and trade in the New World. They sought to bring about a New World Order outlined by Sir Francis Bacon in The New Atlantis. This book reveals Bacon’s ideal commonwealth in the political world that the Illuminists have sought through the ages. It describes a utopian society across the ocean from Europe; this society was built upon the principles of Atlantis. This utopia was a world without national boundaries and without racial distinction under a world government.[1]

Under the leadership of Grand Master Johannes Kelpius, a German Pietist theologian, the colonists landed in 1694 in Philadelphia. The colonists brought with them books on alchemy, astrology, and magic; the Cabala; and the writings of the German mystic Jakob Boehme. By 1801 the Rosicrucian Order had become inactive or moved completely underground in America.[2]

Arrival of Freemasonry
After Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry was perhaps the next non-Indian secret society brought to the British colonies. It arrived in 1730 when Daniel Coxe was appointed Provincial Grand Master of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.[3] In 1733, Henry Price became Provincial Grand Master of New England; he is considered the father of regular Freemasonry in the United States. Benjamin Franklin, who was a Rosicrucian,[4] became provincial Grand Master of Pennsylvania in 1734.[5]

The red Freemasonry of France was introduced in 1761 into the Colonies. Behind red Freemasonry were Frederick the Great, Philip Egalite, Swiss bankers, and British intelligence. The Grand Consistory of Sublime Princes of the Royal Secrets of Paris, which Frederick the Great controlled, sent Stephen Morin, a Jew, to establish the Rite of Perfection, i.e., the Scottish Rite. Philip Egalite, Duke of Clermont and later Duke of Orleans, signed his papers. Louis, Count of Clermont, granted Morin the authority to establish Scottish Rite Freemasonry.[6] His deputy inspector was Henry Francken. Francken appointed Moses M. Hayes, a Jew, of Boston as inspector general of North American Freemasonry. Hayes introduced the Scottish Rite in 1780 into the United States at the New Port Lodge.[7] Hayes also appointed Isaac da Costa, a Jew, as deputy inspector general of South Carolina, Solomon Bush as deputy inspector for Pennsylvania, and B.M. Spitser as deputy inspector for Georgia.[8] In 1801, the first Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Freemasonry was established in Charleston, South Carolina.[9]

Before the appearance of the Sottish Rite, Franklin had been the primary organizer of Freemasonry in the Colonies. The lodges that he organized were connected with the Grand Lodge of London.

American Revolution
Freemasonry was at the center of the American Revolution. At the forefront was the St. Andrew Lodge, which was a Grand Lodge of the Scottish Rite. Joseph Warren, a close friend of Franklin, headed this Lodge. Paul Revere was also a leader of this Lodge. This Lodge was probably behind the Boston Tea Party.[10]

In 1778, the Americans re-occupied Philadelphia after the British evacuation. To celebrate this great occasion, General George Washington, dressed in full Masonic attire, solemnly led 300 Freemasons through Philadelphia to Christ Church. Here a Masonic divine service was held.

Besides Washington and Franklin, many other American revolutionists were Freemasons. They included the following generals: Nathaniel Greene, Henry Knox, Henry Lee (Light-Horse Harry), Richard Montgomery, Israel Putnam, Rufus Putnam, Baron von Steuben, and John Sullivan. (Of Washington’s generals, 33 were Freemasons.) Ethan Allen, leader of the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont, and John Paul Jones were also Freemasons. Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Marshall were Freemasons.[11] John Hancock and eight other Freemasons singed the Declaration of Independence.[12] (Manley Hall, a Masonic writer, asserts that all but one signer were Freemasons.) Fifty of the 59 members of the Constitutional Convention were Freemasons.[13] Of the 39 signers of the Constitution, at lest 13 were master Freemasons.[14] The Continental Army had approximately 14,000 officers of whom 2018 were Freemasons.[15]

Freemasons in England championed the colonists in their struggled for independence. They included William Pitt, Edmund Burke, and the Duke of Manchester (Grand Master of English Freemasonry).

During the American Revolution, Masonic agents freely moved between British controlled areas and American controlled areas.

Freemasons in France were also instrumental in providing the American revolutionists the aid that they needed to secede from England successfully. Through Freemasonry, Franklin made his contacts with the appropriate officials in the French government and outside the government. The most ardent support for the American Revolution came from the French nobles who were Freemasons. (Franklin berated the French nobility and campaigned against it in spite of its zealous support of Freemasonry and the American Revolution.)

The Arnold Conspiracy
William Petty, Earl of Shelburne, head of British intelligence, managed to place his agents in many critical positions among the American revolutionists. Benedict Arnold, a Freemason, is perhaps the best known of these agents.[16]

The Mallet-Prevost family put in place Lord Shelburne’s spy and espionage network. This family was the leader of Swiss espionage. One of the family leaders, General Augustine Prevost became Grand Stewart of the Lodge of Perfection. (This lodge had been established in Albany, New York in 1768.) He was also Prince of Royal Secrets and commander of the British southern forces during the American Revolution. His second in command was James Mark Prevost, his brother. Arnold was one of his agents.[17]

Margaret “Peggy” Shippen Arnold, wife of Benedict Arnold and stepsister of Aaron Burr, was a conduit for communications between Mark Prevost and Benedict Arnold. Mark Prevost often communicated with Peggy Arnold through his wife, Theodosia, who later married Aaron Burr. Through this channel, the arrangement to surrender West Point to the English was initiated. For aiding the English in its failed attempt to capture West Point, Arnold was charged with treason.[18] After conspiring to surrender West Point, Arnold was given his promised command in the British army and fought against the Americans in the South.

The Randolph Conspiracy
In 1774, Edmund Randolph at age 21 joined the Ancient Order of York Masons. After becoming a Freemason, his career began its climb upwards. He soon became an aide de camp to General George Washington. In 1785, he became Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. The next year he was named Grand Master. At the time of his election to Grand Master, Randolph was Attorney General of Virginia. (Since then Freemasons have controlled the legal system of Virginia.)[19]

The Grand Lodge of Virginia was established in 1768 at Williamsburg, which was then the capital of Virginia. John Blair, who was then acting governor of Virginia and later a Virginian delegate to the Constitutional Convention, was its first Grand Master.[20]

Peyton Randolph, Edmund Randolph’s uncle and adoptive father, became the first President of the First Continental Congress. Peyton Randolph was also Grand Master of the Masonic Order.

President Washington appointed Edmund Randolph the first Attorney General of the United States and then the second Secretary of State after Jefferson resigned.

In 1787, Congress called a convention to amend the Articles of Confederation. (This convention became known as the Federal Constitutional Convention of 1787.) At this time, Randolph was Governor of Virginia. He persuaded the Virginia delegation to support scraping the Articles of Confederation and write a new constitution that would incorporate the states into a federation. (“Thus it was the Grand Master of Virginia, Edmund Randolph, in league with Aaron Burr and British intelligence, who foisted on the nation the concept of a federal government which could rule over and above the sovereignties of the states.”[21]) Randolph was also a delegate to the convention.

Result of American Revolution
In spite of the Illuminists involvement in the American Revolution and the Federal Constitutional Convention of 1789, the essence of English freedoms and institutions survived. What saved the new United States from Illuminism and from becoming its communistic, democratic egalitarian new Atlantis, the New World Order, ruled by Illuminists, was that 65 to 99 percent of the Aryan population was Christian. Now the Illuminists began the work of destroying them.

Most of the leaders of the American Revolution who were Freemasons believed that they were fighting to free the American colonies from the tyrannical British rule. They were ignorant of the ultimate objective of the Revolution, which was to establish an illuministic New World Order. The Illuminists who controlled Freemasonry had deceived them, as they deceive most Freemasons today. They had deceived them into believing that Freemasonry was the savior of Christianity and the bearer of liberty and happiness. Only the highest degree Illuminists knew the real objective—the establishment of Lucifer’s New World Order.

Fortunately for Americans, the ideals of the Reformation and the English Revolution guided the American Revolution much more than the ideals of the Renaissance and the French Revolution. In spite many leaders of the American Revolution being Illuminists, Christianity had a much greater influence over the American Revolution than did Illuminism. (Revolutions based primarily on Illuminism, such as the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution lead to despair and anarchy, which is followed by dictatorship. Revolutions based primarily on Christianity, such as the English Revolution and the American Revolution, lead to hope and freedom.)
