DA James Montoya fired prosecutor Alex Cuellar on Election Day amid attacks in judicial campaign
DA James Montoya fired prosecutor Alex Cuellar on Election Day amid attacks in judicial campaign
by Robert Moore
March 9, 2026
In the race for an El Paso judgeship, Alex Cuellar increasingly attacked his Democratic primary opponent and the boss they shared. On March 3, he lost badly to one and was fired by the other.
Assistant District Attorney Amanda Enriquez won more than 67% of the vote in the 171st District Court Democratic primary against Cuellar, a fellow assistant DA. Hours before the vote counting began on Election Day, District Attorney James Montoya emailed a letter to Cuellar informing him that he was fired.
“While I expected a certain level of tension in our Office as two employees sought the nomination for the same elected office, you have greatly abused your position and the trust placed in you by flagrantly violating Office policy, casting aspersions on my support for Amanda Enriquez’s candidacy, and making public statements that could undermine the community’s confidence in our Office,” Montoya wrote in the letter, which El Paso Matters obtained under the Texas Public Information Act.
“Regardless of the outcome of the election tonight, your continued employment with our Office is no longer tenable. Your last day of employment with our Office is today,” he said in the letter.
Cuellar, Montoya and Enriquez all declined requests for comment from El Paso Matters about the termination.
Enriquez issued a statement that said: “I’m grateful for the trust voters placed in me and look forward to serving the people of El Paso with fairness and professionalism.” She has no opponent in the November general election.
The firing came after Cuellar increasingly attacked Enriquez and Montoya in the campaign’s closing days, including two mailers the Friday and Saturday before the Tuesday election that suggested she got a promotion by making campaign contributions to the district attorney.
The mailers seemed to have little effect on the race. Enriquez got more than 67% of the ballots in early votes, which were mostly cast before the mailers, and a similar percentage on Election Day.
Cuellar sought Montoya’s endorsement for the judgeship, but the district attorney supported Enriquez, his longtime colleague and friend. Elected officials are allowed to campaign for others, so long as they don’t do it during working hours or using government resources.
In the termination letter, Montoya said Cuellar’s “brazen, win-at-all-costs turn your campaign has taken the last several weeks is deeply unprofessional and has led me to lose all confidence in your ability to represent me as an assistant district attorney and to reliably fulfill the duties of the position.”
Records obtained by El Paso Matters show that Montoya had raised concerns with Cuellar on Feb. 13 about statements he made in the campaign.
In an email, Montoya said Cuellar had claimed at a candidate forum the previous night that the district attorney was acting unethically in supporting Enriquez for the 171st District Court position.
“While I understand your frustration that I declined to support your campaign, I must ask you to refrain from stating or suggesting that my support for Amanda is unethical or otherwise improper,” Montoya wrote.
Cuellar responded that he had received the email. “I will continue to run my campaign professionally,” he wrote.
In a mailer sent out the final week of the campaign, Cuellar accused Enriquez of using “Trump-like tactics” in her campaign and implied that she received unspecified benefits by making $28,000 in campaign contributions to Montoya.
“The 171st District Court is NOT FOR SALE. But what does $28,000 buy you?” the mailer stated.
A follow-up mailer said Enriquez got a “promotion” after her donations to Montoya.
Cuellar presented no evidence that Montoya provided benefits to Enriquez in exchange for her campaign contributions. An elected official providing someone a job, promotion or campaign endorsement in exchange for a campaign contribution could be a felony under Texas’ bribery statute.
Texas Ethics Commission records showed that Enriquez donated $28,527.27 to Montoya’s campaigns in 2020 and 2024, with most of the donations coming in the 2020 campaign. The bulk of her contributions were to purchase social media ads for the campaigns.
Montoya and Enriquez worked together in the District Attorney’s Office for several years until Montoya lost the 2020 Democratic runoff for DA to Yvonne Rosales. Montoya and Enriquez, in interviews with El Paso Matters, described themselves as friends.
Enriquez was highly critical of Rosales in the 2020 campaign, saying she wasn’t qualified to be district attorney. Rosales purged the District Attorney’s Office of dozens of experienced prosecutors when she took over in 2021, including Enriquez and Montoya.
Rosales resigned after two years on the job as she faced a court petition seeking to remove her for reasons of incompetence.
Gov. Greg Abbott appointed Bill Hicks to fill the remainder of Rosales’ four-year term, and Hicks hired Cuellar in October 2023 as part of his effort to rebuild prosecutor staffing.
Cuellar was elected to the El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees in June 2023.
Montoya defeated Hicks in the 2024 general election. Montoya then hired Enriquez, who had been working for the Public Defender’s Office, as a senior division chief when he took office in January 2025.
Cuellar’s mailer also accused Montoya of “publicly endorsing Enriquez’ campaign and encouraging others to support her, while rigging his own office rules against other candidates.” It was a similar accusation to the one he made at the campaign forum that led to Montoya’s Feb. 13 email.
In the termination letter, Montoya said he had asked Cuellar in the earlier email “to maintain professionalism for the remainder of the campaign.”
“Despite your assurances you would do so, you instead repeatedly distributed grossly misleading and defamatory advertisements that malign and denigrate the work of your colleagues as well as myself,” Montoya wrote.

Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was found guilty in March 2023 of the double murder of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, marking a rare case of a prominent legal figure convicted of killing family members. While not a public prosecutor, he was a powerful personal injury lawyer from a family of prosecutors.

Alex Murdaugh (2023 conviction): Murdaugh was sentenced to life in prison for the 2021 shootings of his wife and son at their "Islandton" property. Prosecutors argued he committed the murders to distract from his massive financial crimes.
Historical Prosecutor Cases:
Malcolm Schlette (1986): A man who killed former Marin County, California, District Attorney William O. Weissich.
George Lott (1992): Killed Assistant District Attorney C. Chris Marshall in a Tarrant County, Texas, courtroom.
Other Context: "Bob Macy", an Oklahoma County DA (1980–2001), was nicknamed the "deadliest prosecutor" for the high number of death sentences he secured, not for committing murder himself.

The Bible describes corrupt prosecutors and judges as those who take bribes, pervert justice, and ignore the rights of the needy, often for personal gain. Key passages, including Isaiah 1:21-26, Micah 3:11, and Deuteronomy 16:19, condemn such behavior as a "harlotry" against God and a cause for divine wrath.

Rosicrucianism is a theosophy advanced by an invisible order of spiritual knights who in spreading Christian Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis seek to enliven and to preserve the memory of Divine Wisdom, understood as a feminine flame of love called Sofia or Shekhinah, exoterically given as a fresh unfolded rose, yet, more akin to the BLUE fire of alchemy, the BLUE virgin.

The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for Prayer and Study for Peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Springlake, New Jersey, in a mansion overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company. Richard Nixon was a frequent visitor. Directors of the Center were Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary General of the United Nations and ex-nazi war criminal; Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission; Clare Booth Luce, a dame of the Knights of Malta; and J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace Company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States. The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope's new peace plan, which will bring the world together (see my paper "The Secret Government"). The Center has two roles:
(1) Educate Catholics and their children to accept the New World Order.
(2) Provide residence for the world-peace-solution computer and an ongoing study for peaceful solutions to any future problems which may endanger world peace. The computer is hooked to the world capitals via satellite. All nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New World Order is publicly announced. I believe that the New World Order was born in secrecy on January 19,1989. Now you know.

In many traditions, particularly Christianity, blue symbolizes heaven, divinity, God’s holiness, and the sky.
Pope Leo XIV visited the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on November 29, 2025, marking a significant moment in interfaith dialogue and respect for the Islamic faith.
Context of the Visit
Pope Leo XIV's visit to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, commonly known as the Blue Mosque, occurred during his first Apostolic Journey to Türkiye. This visit was notable as it represented the Pope's first entry into a Muslim place of worship as the leader of the Catholic Church, emphasizing a commitment to fostering interreligious dialogue and respect between Christianity and Islam.

Details of the Visit
Arrival and Tour: Upon arriving at the mosque, Pope Leo XIV removed his shoes, adhering to local customs, and toured the mosque while wearing white socks. He was guided by the mosque's imam and the mufti of Istanbul, who pointed out the mosque's architectural features and historical significance.
2
Moment of Reflection: Although the Vatican had initially indicated that the Pope would observe a brief moment of silent prayer, he ultimately chose to experience the visit in silence, reflecting on the significance of the space and the faith of those who gather there. This decision was seen as a gesture of respect towards the Islamic community.

Significance of the Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque, completed in 1617, is one of Istanbul's most important religious structures, known for its stunning architecture and the more than 20,000 Iznik tiles that adorn its interior. The mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers and stands as a symbol of the historical relationship between Christianity and Islam in a city that has been a crossroads of cultures for centuries.

Fact Check: Did Donald Trump Say He Wanted Hunter Biden 'Executed'?
Donald Trump suggested that Hunter Biden had been handed a 'traffic ticket instead of a death sentence' in a 2023 plea deal.
President Joe Biden's pardon of son Hunter Biden for convictions on federal gun and tax evasion charges has been criticized across the political realm, following years of investigation and scrutiny.In his pardon statement, President Biden said that his son had been singled out and that the cases were a 'miscarriage of justice' and 'infected' by 'raw politics.
' He had made claims that he would not interfere in the Justice Department's decision-making process.President-elect Donald Trump called the pardon 'an abuse and miscarriage of justice.' According to one claim on social media, Trump had previously gone much further, allegedly suggesting he wanted Hunter 'executed.'The ClaimA post on X, formerly Twitter, by host of the Pardon the Insurrection podcast Derek Knight, posted on December 3, 2024, viewed 109,400 times, said: 'Trump said he wanted Hunter Biden executed. This is why your ratings look like the Home Shopping Network after the election.'Knight had quoted a post by MSNBC host Ari Melber that said: 'President Biden's pardon breaks a vow and muddies the principle Biden argued was fundamental in contrast to Trump this election.'There is evidence Hunter Biden's treatment was unfair, but that applies to many other cases that are not getting lenience because they don't have political or elite connections.'The FactsWhile Trump did suggest that Hunter Biden should have faced a 'death penalty,' what he said and the context in which he said it deserves some explanation.In June 2023, the Department of Justice charged Hunter Biden with failure to pay federal income tax and illegally possessing a weapon. His legal team reached a deal with federal prosecutors that allowed him to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses.David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who launched the Hunter Biden probe in 2018 after being appointed to the role by Trump in 2017, offered the agreement to Hunter.Following this, Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 11, 2023, that: 'Weiss is a COWARD, a smaller version of Bill Barr, who never had the courage to do what everyone knows should have been done. He gave out a traffic ticket instead of a death sentence.'Because of the two Democrat Senators in Delaware, they got to choose and/or approve him. Maybe the judge presiding will have the courage and intellect to break up this cesspool of crime. The collusion and corruption is beyond description. TWO TIERS OF JUSTICE!'The characterization of Hunter Biden's plea deal as a 'traffic ticket' hints that Trump was exaggerating for emphasis, rather than being literal. In context, 'death sentence' likely reflects Trump's habit of using irresponsible and thoughtless language. Newsweek could not find other examples of Trump calling for Hunter Biden's execution or suggestions of it since.His words, and such a casual reference to execution, nonetheless caught the attention of the media and led to headlines in Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. A spokesperson for Trump did not rebuke the post on X. 'The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,' Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung told Newsweek. 'That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.'The RulingNeeds Context.In 2023, Trump criticized U.S. Attorney David Weiss over a plea agreement Weiss offered Hunter Biden, saying 'he gave out a traffic ticket instead of a death sentence.' The context of his comments suggests they were unserious, if nonetheless thoughtless. He has not made similar comments since.FACT CHECK BY Newsweek's Fact Check team

Lyon County renames justice complex after Donald Trump
Published 1:42 PM PST, February 8, 2022
YERINGTON, Nev. (AP) — A rural Nevada county has renamed its justice complex after former President Donald J. Trump.
About 50 people attended the formal dedication of the Donald J. Trump Justice Complex in Yerington on Saturday, Lyon County Manager Jeff Page said. The complex, which opened in 2013, houses the sheriff’s office, jail, Third Judicial District Court and Walker River Justice Court.
The commissioners approved the new name for the justice complex on a 3-2 vote in August. They originally planned to rename a road in Dayton after Trump but dropped that idea because some residences and businesses would have had to change their address.
The Lyon County Commission discussed a resolution last week that could result in changes in procedures for naming county buildings, parks and other facilities in the future, but that did not affect names already approved, including the Trump complex, Page said.
While Trump was in office, hotels and residential towers in several cities stripped his name off their buildings.
But Trump’s name remains on countless products, golf courses and buildings in the U.S. and other countries, including a non-casino hotel near the Las Vegas Strip. Among the places his name has been added since his presidency is a stretch of U.S. highway in the remote western panhandle of Oklahoma near the Texas state line.

This story has been updated to correct that the board of commissioners is not revisiting the decision to rename the county justice complex.

Samantha Edmondo
Deputy District Attorney at Lyon County District Attorney
About
I’m a licensed attorney in the State of Nevada currently working for the Lyon County District Attorney’s Office as a Deputy District Attorney, prosecuting felony and misdemeanor crimes occurring in Lyon County.
I am a graduate of the Michigan State University College of Law. I am also a graduate of MSU Law’s Trial Practice Institute. The Trial Practice Institute is a two year intensive program that focuses on litigation and trial work. In our second year of law school, participants in the program work on the Pretrial process, beginning with client intake and ending with oral arguments on motions for summary judgment. In our third year, we conduct two full trials; one criminal and one civil. These trials include motions in limine and jury selection, culminating with the trial itself. I was also a member of the mock trial team and Trial Director for the MSU Board of Advocates.
During law school, I had the privilege of working for the Nevada Attorney General’s Office in the post-conviction unit. There, I learned a great deal about Writs for Habeas Corpus and the post conviction process. It is an area of the law that I have a particular interest in. It was in this internship that I learned a prosecution does not end with a guilty verdict; it is the prosecutor’s job to uphold the criminal justice process to maintain the integrity of a conviction during the appeals process.
After law school, I clerked for the Hon. Connie Steinheimer in the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada. I assisted the Judge with civil and criminal cases. My tasks included writing bench memos, drafting orders, and writing jury instructions. Working for Judge Steinheimer was a great honor and I learned so much from her in my short time as her clerk.

In Revelation 17, the "licentious" behavior of the great prostitute (Babylon) symbolizes spiritual infidelity, idolatry, and global corruption rather than just literal sexual immorality. She is depicted as drunk on the blood of saints and seducing world leaders to partake in her sins, representing a false religious system that brings the world into a state of intoxication with her errors.

-- Revelation 17:7 (NRS)
Dave Hunt, who is an apologist and author, wrote a book called A Woman Rides the Beast. The woman who rides the beast, in his beliefs on scripture, refers mostly to Rome and the revived Roman Empire. But in each chapter, Dave continues to talk about other factors that play into this mysterious woman, including the false perception of Mary, the Vatican's connection to the holocaust, and "the failure of the first pope." The first pope, of course, was Peter but how did he fail as pope? He also wrote that "the gospel was being spread before any church was ever established", an excellent point made against Roman Catholicism.

Former DA Bob Macy, ex-forensic chemist Joyce Gilchrist settle case
Scott Cooper
June 18, 2009
Facebook X
As more cases involving former Oklahoma City Police Department forensic chemist Joyce Gilchrist make their way through the legal system, the inner workings of the police lab and the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office are revealed layer by layer. When Curtis Edward McCarty was released from custody in 2007 after spending nearly 20 years on death row, the courts found that Gilchrist acted to either alter or intentionally lose evidence. With Bryson, attorneys looked more into the abilities of Gilchrist as a scientist and the hands-off approach the police department and the district attorney’s office took to their controversial chemist. A trial was set to begin later this month which would have been the first public testimony of Gilchrist, former District Attorney Bob Macy and several of Macy’s prosecutors as well as police officials. It would have been an opportunity for the public to hear firsthand the explanations as to why a man who was found to have no biological evidence linking him to a crime spent more than decade in prison. But at a last-ditch settlement conference meeting in the chambers of U.S. Magistrate Robert Bacharach on June 3, the opposing sides came to an agreement. Gilchrist agreed to hand over $16.5 million, according to court records. Bryson also worked out a deal with Macy, but the details of their settlement are sealed. The case file is not sealed, however, and the depositions of Gilchrist and Macy include hundreds of documents and other testimonials that provide a keen glimpse into how one man’s life can be altered by science or ethics. CONVICTION AND EXONERATION Bryson was convicted in 1983 of raping and kidnapping Theresa Taylor and sentenced to 85 years in prison. Taylor, a legal secretary at the time, testified she was attacked walking to her car from the Liberty Tower in downtown Oklahoma City, forced into a car and driven to a remote area where she was brutally raped. Taylor escaped after biting the attacker’s penis, who then ran away screaming in pain. The victim then made her way to a nearby house and called police. The key pieces of evidence used against Bryson were hair, blood and semen samples, eyewitness testimony from the victim and another person in the area of the attack, and injuries to Bryson’s penis after he went to a doctor for treatment. Gilchrist testified at the 1983 trial that the hair and blood samples were consistent to Bryson. She told a jury the blood type from the sample was the same as Bryson’s, and the hair was consistent with Bryson’s hair. The key pieces of evidence used against Bryson were hair, blood and semen samples, eyewitness testimony from the victim and another person in the area of the attack, and injuries to Bryson’s penis after he went to a doctor for treatment. Gilchrist testified at the 1983 trial that the hair and blood samples were consistent to Bryson. She told a jury the blood type from the sample was the same as Bryson’s, and the hair was consistent with Bryson’s hair. But other scientists who looked into Gilchrist’s original work claim that, had the chemist conducted her science correctly, Bryson should have been excluded before the 1983 trial, regardless of DNA testing. Brian Wraxall, chief forensic serologist at the Serological Research Institute in California, looked over Gilchrist’s lab notes last November and found serious flaws from his former student. Gilchrist received some of her training at the institute. Of particular note was the robe the victim wore after escaping to a nearby house. Semen stains were found on the robe which Gilchrist tested and concluded could have come from Bryson. But Wraxall said Gilchrist did not conduct the tests properly and that Bryson would have been excluded as a donor. “Ms. Gilchrist failed to run a substrate or background control from the robe as she was taught in my laboratory,” Wraxall wrote in his report. But Wraxall’s pupil took a hard stance on her testing during her deposition on March 6, 2008. “Just because that wasn’t his DNA in that semen found in her vagina does not mean he’s not the rapist,” Gilchrist said. “Now, if you can exclude him using … DNA testing on those hairs, then I would agree with you then that he’s not the rapist, but until that happens, I stand by the results of my analysis.” DEBUNKED However, the hair analysis has also been debunked. In 2001, the FBI conducted reviews of Gilchrist’s work and concluded the hair evidence did not match Bryson. But during her deposition, Gilchrist shrugged off conclusions of other analysts: “That happens all the time. Hair examination is very subjective, and experts may or may not agree on the conclusions that are reached. So if someone else disagrees with my findings, I don’t put much weight in that.” Gilchrist and her attorney, Melvin Hall, refused to comment for the story, as did Bryson and his attorney Mark Barrett, along with Macy and his attorney. Whether Gilchrist was even qualified to conduct such tests became a topic for Bryson’s attorneys. Records of Gilchrist’s college transcript and early training at FBI labs show the chemist had difficulty with some of her science classes. According to her transcripts from the University of Oklahoma and University of Central Oklahoma, Gilchrist was placed on academic probation more than once, as well as academic suspension. At OU, she received a grade of D in general chemistry. At UCO, she earned C and D grades in chemistry courses like general physics and quantitative analysis. During her deposition, Gilchrist was questioned about the marks she received while training with the FBI. Barrett pointed out several instances where Gilchrist misidentified hair samples during tests. But Gilchrist contended mistakes were to be expected as it was her first week in training. She received a certificate stating she had completed the FBI course. During the deposition, city attorney Richard Smith tried to make light of Barrett’s line of questioning: Smith: “Did you get 100 percent on every spelling test you’ve ever took?” Gilchrist: “No.” GILCHRIST REFLECTS Through the years, as one former convict gets exonerated after another, Gilchrist did reflect on any mistakes she had made, particularly when it came to hair analysis, and not letting a jury think she could identify a person through hair samples. “There’s a lot of things I probably regret during the course of my lifetime. I probably regret not expounding a little further instead of just answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a question and not being able to qualify my answer, taking that opportunity to do so. Yeah, I regret that.” But regardless of what mistakes Gilchrist made, she had the full backing of the district attorney’s office, even in the face of criticism from other forensic scientists and high court judges. “I observed Joyce Gilchrist on numerous occasions in the courtroom testifying and being cross-examined, and it was my opinion that she was very professional, very thorough in her work,” Macy said during his deposition on Oct. 24, 2008. “I don’t know how much more investigation would need to have been done than what I was seeing daily in the courtroom.” John Wilson with the Kansas City police lab was one of the scientists sounding alarm bells about Gilchrist’s work. Wilson had testified in some of the cases as an expert witness to rebut Gilchrist. Macy said he thought Wilson’s behavior was unethical. “I thought Wilson was … one of the forensic chemists for a law enforcement agency there,” Macy said. “They had trained him and given him all his education and background, and he was out for hire to the defense. I expressed not only to Wilson but to his supervisor that I had a kind of an ethical problem with it.” In the original filing of the lawsuit, Bryson named not just Gilchrist and Macy as defendants, but the city and several former police chiefs as well. The chiefs and the city were dismissed from the case on the grounds their actions had nothing to do with Bryson’s wrongful conviction. A judge also tossed out most of the complaints Bryson filed against Macy save one, which the two sides settled on. Toward the end of his deposition, Macy took offense to some of the questions which dealt with evidence either being tampered with, falsified or intentionally lost, allegations raised by other courts in some of Gilchrist’s cases. “I spent my entire life in law enforcement or prosecution, and I found that they’re probably the most dedicated, honest bunch of people in the world. … Why would a person want to hide evidence?” The proceedings are still not over yet, according to court records. With Gilchrist agreeing to pay Bryson $16.5 million — a sum she does not have — a battle is to unfold as to who will pay that money. Gilchrist claims the city should pay since the action took place when she was employed with the police department. The city disagrees, saying Gilchrist violated city policies and therefore should not be indemnified by the city. The city does have a policy to pay up to $10 million for damages inflicted by an employee. The issue between Gilchrist and the city is set for court later this month.

Robert H. Macy (July 5, 1930 – November 18, 2011) was a Democratic District Attorney from 1980 until 2001 for Oklahoma County and the State's capital, Oklahoma City.[1] He was nationally known for his impassioned performances in capital murder trials, sometimes followed by reversals on appeal, and in three cases, exonerations.[2][3][4] He was President of the National District Attorneys' Association in 1992–93.[5] Sometimes called "Cowboy Bob," Macy was a roper and rancher who often wore Western suits with a white shirt, black string tie, and black cowboy hat. He sometimes took his gun with him to court.[1]
Early life and education
Macy was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Harold and Ethel Macy. After graduating from Broad Ripple High School, he played football on a scholarship to Earlham College, finishing in 1954 with a degree in Geology and Religion. He enlisted in the United States Air Force, and married Betty D. Hendryx on June 30, 1956. He joined the Oklahoma City Police Department in 1957, and worked the night patrol while attending the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He received his law degree in 1961.[5] Macy moved to Ada, Oklahoma and began his legal career as Assistant County Attorney for Pontotoc County. He earned a master's degree in Public Administration from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in 1977.
One of the "Deadliest" District Attorneys
Governor George Nigh appointed Macy to fill the unexpired term of his predecessor, Andy Coats, who resigned the district attorney's office to run for the U.S. Senate. Macy took the oath of office as District Attorney on June 16, 1980.[5] Macy won re-election by large margins, and was unopposed in his last election in 1998. A 2016 Harvard study identified him as one of the nation's five "deadliest" prosecutors. The study said that Macy "sent more people to death row (54) than any other individual district attorney in the United States."[4] In 2001, Macy defended the death penalty, saying ''I feel like it makes my city, county and state a safer place for innocent people to live. And that's why I embrace it, not because I get any enjoyment out of it.''[6] Macy was once dragged from a courtroom after he became angry when a jury acquitted six defendants for shooting at law enforcement officers.[7]
Macy is perhaps best known as the District Attorney who pursued the death penalty for Julius Jones in 1999. Background information and archive footage of Macy was featured in the 2018 documentary series The Last Defense.[8]
Corruption
Robert H. Macy is accused of conspiring with Joyce Gilchrist to commit forensic misconduct and fraud on multiple death penalty cases.[9] Gilchrist's testimony was needed for 23 of Macy's death row convictions, many of which turned out to be false testimony and/or altered lab notes.[10] David Autry, an Oklahoma County public defender who worked the courthouses while Macy was a District Attorney, said, "Macy would pretty much do whatever it took to win. He would routinely withhold exculpatory evidence, he engaged in prosecutorial misconduct routinely during trials and especially during closing argument. And even when the appellate court would slap him down, he would just continue on the same course.” The 2002 U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals is quoted as saying “Macy’s persistent misconduct has without doubt harmed the reputation of Oklahoma’s criminal justice system and left the unenviable legacy of an indelibly tarnished legal career.”[11]

"COWBOY" BOB ORTON
WWE HALL OF FAME PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER
"Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. wasn't an active participant in the main event of the original WrestleMania. Orton was simply in the corner of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff. But no one played a bigger role in the match's outcome than Orton. The second generation Superstar attempted to wallop Mr. T to help Piper and Orndorff get the win, but he missed and hit Orndorff instead, leading to Hulk Hogan and Mr. T picking up the first main event win in WrestleMania history.
Orton, whose son Randy Orton is currently establishing his own legendary career in WWE, turned the simple plaster cast into one of the most deadly foreign objects in WWE history.
Orton, who injured his arm during the mid 1980s, was forced to wear a cast to help his arm heal. But unlike most people who have their cast removed after a period of a few months or so, Orton milked the injury and wore the cast for a few years! Orton convinced officials that the cast was needed to help his arm heal, and every chance he got, he used it as a weapon to lay out his opponents.
Orton is probably best known for his time as one of Piper's closest allies. Not only did he stand in the corner of Piper at the first WrestleMania, he was also Hot Rod's corner man for his boxing match against Mr. T at WrestleMania 2. But once Piper became a fan favorite, Orton just couldn't bring himself to follow. Instead, he swore his allegiance to "Adorable" Adrian Adonis and traded in his classic style cowboy hat for a more flamboyant pink one.
Orton also formed an imposing tag team with Hall of Famer Don Muraco, and the tandem opened WrestleMania III from the Pontiac Silverdome. The duo squared off against the Can-Am Connection and helped get the record-breaking crowd into a frenzy, even though they came up short in the match.
Ace, as he later came to be known, was also one of the first Superstars to utilize the ropes for his finishing maneuver. Although it's done with a lot more frequency today, Orton was one of the first wrestlers to use the Superplex as his finishing maneuver. It was very uncommon to see the Superstars of Orton's day go to the ropes to finish off an opponent, making the maneuver one of the most deadly of his era. With his son Randy now carrying the torch for the Orton family, he can only hope to achieve the same legendary status of his father, a WWE Hall of Famer.

The Capetian dynasty (/kəˈpiːʃən/; French: Capétiens), also known as the House of France, is a dynasty of Frankish origin, and a branch of the Robertians. It is among the largest and oldest royal houses in Europe and the world, and consists of Hugh Capet, the founder of the dynasty, and his male-line descendants, who ruled in France without interruption from 987 to 1792, and again from 1814 to 1848. The senior line ruled in France as the House of Capet from the election of Hugh Capet in 987 until the death of Charles IV in 1328. That line was succeeded by cadet branches, the Houses of Valois and then Bourbon, which ruled without interruption until the French Revolution abolished the monarchy in 1792. The Bourbons were restored in 1814 in the aftermath of Napoleon's defeat, but had to vacate the throne again in 1830 in favor of the last Capetian monarch of France, Louis Philippe I, who belonged to the House of Orléans. Cadet branches of the Capetian House of Bourbon house are still ruling over Spain and Luxembourg.

Parris Island is a district of the city of Port Royal, South Carolina on an island of the same name. It became part of the city with the annexation of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island on October 11, 2002. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau previously defined Parris Island as a census-designated place (CDP) when it was an unincorporated area of Beaufort County. The population was 4,841 at the 2000 census. As defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, Parris Island is included within the Beaufort Urban Cluster and the larger Hilton Head Island–Beaufort Micropolitan Statistical Area.[2]

On June 24, 1717, six months after the exile of the Stuarts, four lodges in London (names not given) met at Apple-Tree Tavern and united English Freemasonry under the name "United Grand Lodge," which has been nicknamed the Mother Grand Lodge, or Grand Mother Lodge.
The first French Templar Lodge was founded in 1725 by a contingent of exiled Stuart sympathizers. In 1745 Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, attempted to regain his Scottish throne and was soundly defeated in less than a year. Upon returning to France, the Scottish Templars founded the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, quickly developing it to 32 degrees by 1755. In 1801 all French lodges accepted the Templar Scottish Rite degrees. That same year the Scottish Rite of Charleston, S.C., created the 33rd and final degree in Templar Freemasonry.
On the continent of Europe, French Freemasonry is known as Scottish Rite, Grand Orient, French Grand Lodge, Continental, or Latin Freemasonry. The Templar York Rite in England was transported to America, where it remains to this day. English Freemasonry continued with the three Craft Degrees until 1860, when it adopted the thirty additional degrees of the Scottish Rite, but for competitive reasons refused to call it "Scottish."'

The Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Northern Jurisdiction oversees the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in fifteen states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Vermont.[1] This territory has existed since 1827 when the NMJ gained jurisdiction "over the then 14 states situated east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Wisconsin was not yet a state, but part of Michigan."[2]

The Valley of Chicago
On May 14, 1857, the first Scottish Rite bodies of Chicago were chartered. This first Valley followed the period ideals that the “high degrees” were composed of superior knowledge and, as such, membership should be limited to the select few. The active membership was limited to 32 members, provisions for emeritus and honorary membership. The Lodge of Perfection was named for K. H. Van Renssealer, one of the first leaders in Midwestern Masonry. The Chapter of Rose Croix honors J.J.J. Gourgas, the Grand Secretary who famed for preserving the Scottish Rite during an era of Masonic persecution.
Along its first two decades of existence, the Scottish Rite of Chicago faced ongoing conflicts and tension as multiple organizations formed and fought for membership and territory. It was not until 1871 that a truce was negotiated, and the collective Scottish Rite Masons of the region agreed to merge into one recognized organization. Barely months later, the Great Chicago Fire devastated the region and forced the city to start anew from the ashes. From these same ashes, the Scottish Rite of Chicago set aside all past differences to rebuild their communities with the foundation of Freemasonry.
Throughout the 20th century, the Scottish Rite of Chicago grew with the Windy City to become one of the largest and most elaborate Masonic organizations in the entire Midwest. With high-profile members in every walk of life from theater to politics, the Valley of Chicago was famous for its state-of-the-art theater and high-society atmosphere. At its peak in the 1950s, the actors of the Valley performed public performances of Biblical tales to sold-out crowds on religious holidays
In the present day, the Valley of Chicago still holds one of the largest memberships within the Northern Jurisdiction and operates as a flagship organization hosting regional and national events. With over three thousand members, the Valley of Chicago is one of the largest Masonic organizations in the state of Illinois.
The Cathedral
For a period of time, the unified Scottish Rite was housed at the famed Masonic Temple at Halsted and West Randolph. Soon after the completion of the Masonic apartments in the American Express building, the Rite moved in and called this their home for many years. It was not until 1900 that the Scottish Rite would move again, to properties on Dearborn Street. In 1911, the Rite acquired Medinah’s Mosque situated at the corner of Dearborn and Walton Streets, and continued to grow until the Rite owned all the adjoining properties.
After more than a century at that location, the Rite made the decision to sell the entirety of properties bounded by Dearborn, Walton, State and Delaware Streets, and build a state-of-the-art headquarters in the western suburb of Bloomingdale, Illinois. The current Scottish Rite Cathedral offers a digitally controlled two-story theater, banquet hall, entertainment lounge, a Masonic library, and a professionally curated museum with rotating exhibits.

Pope Leo XIV[a] (born Robert Francis Prevost,[b] pronounced /ˈpriːvoʊst/ PREE-vohst,[2][c] September 14, 1955) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City. He is the first pope to have been born in the United States, the first to hold either U.S. or Peruvian citizenships, the first from the Order of Saint Augustine, and the second (after his immediate predecessor Pope Francis) from the Americas.
Prevost was born in Chicago and raised in the neighboring town of Dolton, Illinois. He became a friar in the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained as a priest in 1982. He earned a Doctor of Canon Law (JCD) degree in 1987 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. His service includes extensive missionary work in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, during which he worked as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine, he was based in Rome from 2001 to 2013, and traveled extensively as part of this work, including to the order's many provinces and missions around the world. He then returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome, and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Upon his return to Rome in 2023, Prevost was made a cardinal by Pope Francis.
As Cardinal, Prevost emphasized synodality, missionary dialogue, and engagement with social and technological challenges. He has also addressed issues such as climate change, global migration, church governance, and human rights, and expressed alignment with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and the direction set for the Church by Francis. Prevost's election in the 2025 conclave was unexpected by observers; he was a dark horse candidate, with Vatican insiders believing the prospect of a pope from the United States to be unrealistic given its status as a superpower. In honor of Pope Leo XIII, who developed modern Catholic social teaching amid the tumult of the Second Industrial Revolution, Prevost chose the papal name Leo XIV—both to echo Leo XIII's concern for workers and fairness, and as a response to the challenges of a new industrial revolution and artificial intelligence.
As pope, he has consistently opposed armed conflict and nationalism while advocating for the rights of migrants. He has introduced new warnings about the use of artificial intelligence technology. He has affirmed the teachings of his predecessors, including social teachings and the climate policy of Pope Francis. He has consistently pointed to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council as the "guiding star" of the Church.
Early life, family, and education (1955–1973)
Background and ancestry
Main article: Family of Pope Leo XIV
Robert Francis Prevost was born on September 14, 1955,[7][8] at Mercy Hospital in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, on the city's South Side.[9][10][11] He is of French,[12] Italian,[13][14] Spanish,[15] and Louisiana Creole[16] descent.[15][9][17][18] His father, Louis Marius Prevost, was a Chicago native, having grown up in Hyde Park.[19] Louis's father and mother were immigrants from Italy and France, respectively.[20][21][22] Louis Prevost was a United States Navy veteran of World War II who commanded an infantry landing craft in the Normandy landings and later participated in Operation Dragoon in southern France.[22] An educator, he later became superintendent of Brookwood School District 167 in Glenwood, Illinois.[23][24] Prevost's mother, Mildred Agnes Prevost (née Martínez),[25][22][26] was also born in Chicago, into a mixed-race Black Creole family from Louisiana.[26][27] She was also an educator, and a librarian, including at Mendel Catholic High School.[28]
Early life and schooling
Prevost's childhood home, 212 East 141st Place, in Dolton, Illinois
Prevost attended Saint Mary of the Assumption Church and its parish elementary school in Chicago as a child.
Known as "Rob" to his family and "Bob" to friends as an adult,[9][29][30] Prevost was raised in Dolton, Illinois, a suburb bordering the far South Side; his childhood home was purchased by the Village of Dolton after he became pope.[31] He grew up in the parish of St. Mary of the Assumption in nearby Riverdale. His parents were practicing Catholics who were very involved in the parish: Louis was a catechist, a teacher of the faith; while Mildred was an active member of the Rosary and Altar Society, sang in the church choir, provided services for the church and went to daily Mass. According to Leo, what influenced him spiritually was his parents' faith, prayer life and Marian devotions ("My parents prayed the rosary together their whole lives everyday") and their mutual love.[32][25] His mother would call him and his brothers to go to Mass before school at 6:30 a.m., and told them that Jesus "is your best friend," and Mass "a way to find that friend."[33] Prevost went to the parish Catholic school, sang in the choir, and served as an altar boy.[9][34][d] Prevost has two older brothers, Louis Martín, and John Joseph.[36] Prevost aspired to the priesthood from a young age,[29] and would play-act the Mass at home with his brothers.[37] He decided to enter the Augustinian order in the eighth grade following visits of priests of multiple different religious orders to the family home, later saying the Salesians of Don Bosco "came in second place".[38][39]
From 1969 to 1973, Prevost attended St. Augustine Seminary High School, a minor seminary near Saugatuck, Michigan;[40][41] his brother John recalled how, from the end of eighth grade on, and especially after joining the Order of Saint Augustine, until their later adulthood when leave allowed them to reconnect, Prevost was hardly at home or with their family.[37]
At the Augustinian seminary, he earned a letter of commendation for academic excellence, consistently appeared on the honor roll, served as yearbook editor-in-chief, and was secretary of the student council and a member of the National Honor Society.[42][43] He captained the bowling team and headed the speech and debate team, competing in Congressional Debate.[44][45] Well-liked and highly intelligent, Prevost had a reputation for helping other students as a tutor.[46] Out of several dozen who entered the school with him, Prevost was one of only 13 students in his class to graduate.[47]
University, seminary, and early priesthood (1973–1998)
University
In 1973, Prevost was planning to attend Tolentine College, an Augustinian seminary in Olympia Fields, Illinois, as part of the order's pre-novitiate program, but it closed that same year.[47][48] He promptly enrolled in Villanova University, an Augustinian college located near Philadelphia, where he earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in mathematics in 1977.[8][49][50] At Villanova, he took elective courses in Hebrew and Latin, read the writings of Saint Augustine, and discussed the work of theologian Karl Rahner with other students.[47] He lived in the Augustinian friary, and was remembered as "particularly committed... to missionary work," and being "the most community minded" among the students.[51] Prevost also worked as a cemetery groundskeeper at Saint Denis Catholic Church in Havertown, Pennsylvania, while studying at Villanova.[52]
Entry into Augustinians and seminary studies
Prevost in 1977, the same year he entered the Augustinian order
On September 1, 1977, Prevost entered the Order of Saint Augustine's novitiate in the Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel, residing for one year at Immaculate Conception Church in the Gate District of St. Louis, Missouri.[53][54][55][56] In the summer of 1978, Prevost spent three months in Clinical Pastoral Education at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.[57][58][59] He took his first vows on September 2, 1978, and his solemn vows on August 29, 1981.[7][8]
He returned to his father's native Hyde Park to obtain a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Catholic Theological Union in 1982 and taught physics and math at St. Rita of Cascia High School in the Wrightwood neighborhood of Chicago during his studies.[9][60] As his spiritual director, a guide to the Christian life, he chose a religious sister, Sister Lyn Osiek, RSCJ, the supervisor of his theological reflection class. She described him as "calm and steady... a person who was at peace with himself."[61]

ON NOVEMBER 10, 2016, THE FOLLOWING WAS posted on the Christian website "Charisma": Read the Letter Donald Trump Wrote to Catholic Leaders." This article written by Bob Eschu,am read, Unable to attend but wanting to address the group, Trump penned the following letter that 'telegraphed' his agenda [all emphasis added]:
"Dear Friends,
Unfortunately, my schedule precludes me from meeting and talking with you at the Catholic Leadership Conference today in Denver. First, I would like to send my warm greetings to the Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila. In discussions with my Catholic Advisory Group, it is clear Archbishop Aqulia's leadership in the Denver Archdiocese has been exemplary, as was the leadership of his predecessor, Archbishop Charles Chaput. Second, should I be elected president, I look forward to working with these two respected leaders of the Catholic Church in America, their brother bishops, and Congress, on issues of critical importance to the Catholic Church and Catholics. Catholics in the United States of America are a rich part of our nation's history. The United States was, and is, strengthened through Catholic men, women, priests and religious Sisters, ministering to people, marching in the Civil Rights movement, educating millions of children in Catholic schools, creating respected health care institutions, and in their founding and helping the ongoing growth of the pro-life cause. I have a message for Catholics: I will be there for you. I will stand with you. I will fight for you. As First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and two-time presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton has been hostile to the core issues and policies of greatest concern to Catholics: life, religious liberty, Supreme Court nominations, affordable and quality healthcare, educational choice and home schooling. For instance, Hillary Clinton supports forcing The Little Sisters of the Poor, who have taken care of the elderly poor since 1839, pay for contraceptives in their health care plan (even though they have never wanted them, never used them and never will), and having the government fine them heavily if they continue to refuse to abide by this onerous mandate. That is a hostility to religious liberty you will never see in a Trump administration. Hillary Clinton's hostility to the issues of greatest importance to Catholics is made worse by her running mate Senator Tim Kaine. Once pro-life and against partial birth abortion, Kaine now has a 100 percent voting record from the National Abortion Rights Action League. Kaine once was for traditional marriage, even saying "it is a uniquely valuable institution that must be preserved", but as of 2013, Kaine no longer supported traditional marriage. And on religious liberty? Shockingly, even Kaine supports forcing the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for contraceptives in their health care plan, and to have the government fine them heavily if they refuse. On issues and policies of greatest concern to Catholics, the differences between myself and Hillary Clinton are stark. I will stand with Catholics and fight for you. Hillary Clinton has been openly hostile to these core Catholic issues for a long time, and is only going to be worse with Tim Kaine now following her lead. On life, I am, and will remain, pro-life. I will defend your religious liberties and the right to fully and freely practice your religion, as individuals, business owners and academic institutions. I will make absolutely certain religious orders like The Little Sisters of Poor are not bullied by the federal government because of their religious beliefs. I will protect and work to expand educational choice, the rights of homeschooling families, and end Common Core. I will repeal and replace Obamacare so you can have better and more affordable health care. I will keep our country and communities safe while respecting the dignity of each human being. I will help Catholic families and workers, and all families and workers, by bringing jobs back to our country where they belong. And I will appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the bench, like Justice Clarence Thomas and the late and beloved great Catholic thinker and jurist, Justice Antonin Scalia. We are at a crossroads in our country. Much like 1980. But the stakes are higher now—the highest they have ever been. We have two candidates representing entirely different agendas for our country that will take it in two completely different directions for generations to come. And our direction offers a much brighter future for our beloved country. Thank you for giving me the time to share my thoughts with you on some of the critical issues facing us today. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. God bless you and may God bless the United States of America." Read the Letter Donald Trump Wrote to Catholic Leaders — Charisma News
That letter clinched Trump the Catholic vote. As a result, the rank and file of Catholicism were encouraged by their leaders, in their churches , and other venues, to vote Trump, even though a few months prior to that letter, dozens of prominent Catholic leaders released an appeal calling Trump "manifestly unfit to be president of the United States," and gave a litany of reasons why: "His campaign has already driven our politics down to new levels of vulgarity. His appeals to racial and ethnic fears and prejudice are offensive to any genuinely Catholic sensibility. He promised to order U.S. military personnel to torture terrorist suspects and to kill terrorists' families-actions ... that would bring shame upon our country. And there is nothing in his campaign or his previous record that gives us grounds for confidence that he GENUINELY SHARES OUR COMMITMENTS TO THE RIGHT TO LIFE, to religious freedom and the rights of conscience, to REBUILDING THE MARRIAGE CULTURE, or to subsidiarity and the principle of limited constitutional government.... there are candidates for the Republican nomination who are far more likely than Mr. Trump to address these concerns, and who do not exhibit his vulgarity, oafishness, shocking ignorance, and -we do not hesitate to use the word-demoguery...
Mr. Trump's record and his campaign show us no promise of greatness; they promise only the further degradation of our politics and our culture. We urge our fellow Catholics and all our fellow citizens to reject his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination by supporting a genuinely reformist candidate." But, significantly, none of these leaders critical of Trump were Catholic Bishops.
Still, following Trump's election the Catholic leadership and scholars quick to capitalise on this 'religious' victory, had the Jesuit magazine America, the National Catholic Report, and the National Catholic Register, put out the following three salient articles [all emphasis added]:
A wake-up indeed; and not just for politicians, but for all who love freedom from religion-directed government interference in all affairs of state and economic life. Recall that in July, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI issued an encyclical Caritas in Veritate, which called for a 'God-centered' and society and the establishment of a 'true world political authority' with 'REAL TEETH' and "with God-centered ethics! As the Washington Post warned, ironically:
Vice-President Mike Pence-A Catholic Still?
Vice-President Mike Pence along with various news organisations all tell us that Pence has moved away from his Catholic roots, and is now a full-fledged, card bearing Evangelical. But this is not entirely true; nor is it a full and FRANK disclosure from Mr. Pence.
Vice-President Pence says he is an 'Evangelical Catholic"! What does that mean? Can these two terms co-exist? Craig Fehrman, an Indiana freelance journalist has written about Pence's faith over the years. Fehrman has questioned the governor and on virtually every occasion has been met with 'foggy' responses as to what it means to be an Evangelical Catholic, as Pence likes to call himself.
Fehrman says that Pence always points to 1978 (his freshman year of college) as the point of his conversion" to Evangelical Christianity, yet after that he still attended Catholic Mass, Fehrman said.
In a 2013 profile, in the Indianapolis Monthly, Fehrman said Pence 'rebuffed repeated attempts to talk more about how he shifted faith identities.' Pence also declined to say where he and his family actually went to church, saying only, "We're kind of looking." But added, "I cherish my Catholic upbringing," Fehrman said of Pence. Pence grew up in a family of Irish Catholic Democrats! He is a true chameleon!
Pence, so cherishes his "Catholic upbringing" that even after his purported conversion to Evangelicalism in 1978, "he still ATTENDED MASS, worked as a youth pastor at a Catholic parish, met his wife at Mass and applied to graduate school with the intention of becoming a [Catholic] priest." Reader, does that sound to you like someone who has had a "conversion" from Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity?
How The Vatican Won With A Trump Presidency
Whether or not Donald Trump and Pope Francis see eye-to-eye is irrelevant. What matters is, whether Francis' papacy benefit by Trump's election. Francis knows that. That's all that matters to the Vatican!
This was why Francis issued a 2016 American election "Revolution" values guide, called "Revolution of Tenderness: A Pope Francis 2016 citizens as to the election of the leader, or president of their country?
Notice also the word "Revolution" in the elections "Guide". Francis is a very dangerous man! Using that caption from this voters' "Guide" Trump's Catholic election advisors, like Steve Bannon, began touting that Trump would bring about a 'revolution" in America. He would do so by tearing down the wall of separation between church and state.
You see, "The Canon law of the Roman Church savagely denounces separation of Church and State..." And Mr. Trump has already shown he is willing to pass religious laws and make amendments that favour the Catholic religion having a greater say in politics and the affairs of state.
So, let us not assume that because Trump and Francis appear publicly to be at loggerheads, that they are enemies. After all, Donald Trump once attended the Jesuit Fordham University in New York. In this regard, it is interesting to note the comments of a Jesuit writing for The National Catholic Reporter who reveals: "... To advance the church's mission, the Jesuits have SHAPED generations of minds through universities such as Georgetown, Fordham and Boston College." Donald Trump may be in greater sync with Pope Francis than he himself realises. Indeed, Trump's selection of a Catholic Advisory Board shows that Jeremiah Crowley was spot on when he said, "Non-Catholic politicians... [and] candidates must receive the approval of Rome and the Knights [of Columbus] before they dare nominate them for either dog pound or presidency...
Trump not only received the approval of the Church's bishops, his wife, Melania, is a Roman Catholic. This fact came to light after she had her rosary blessed by Francis, in May 2017, when the couple visited the Pope in Rome. While President Trump claims he is a Presbyterian, Melania's religion has hardly been commented on in public. Following her meeting with Pope Francis, First Lady Melania confirmed that she is a practicing Catholic. Reports of the couple's 2005 wedding state that Melania is so devouted to Catholicism that she carried a rosary said to be a "family heirloom" in place of a traditional bouquet. Melania is the first openly Catholic person to live in the White House since former President John. F. Kennedy and his Jackie.
When Trump met in private with Francis on May 24, 2017, did he tell the Pope what to do? Or did he as, "What will you have me to do? Reader, Trump will not cancel DACA; he will not build a wall; he will not stop the flow of Latino immigration. But he will equivocate and prevaricate. How do I know? His base is Catholic (see p. 453 anti), he has a Catholic Advisory Board, and the Pope does not like border walls!
Trump is dividing and weakening America from within, all the while boasting he is making America "Great Again." Francis, no doubt is delighted, for a nation divided against itself cannot stand. As Jesuit Prof. Malachi Martin revealed in The Keys of This Blood, it is the intention of the Vatican to control the next "one-world government," which inevitably means the weakening, and 'takeover' of the U.S.A. In Donald J. Trump, we are witnessing the final stages of what Avro Manhattan called "the conquest of the President of the United States of America."
In The Vatican in World Politics, Manhattan states on pages 384 and 385 (concerning Catholic priest Father Coughlin, whose ideology is mirrored in Trump's America First "Christian Revolution"):
"Father Coughlin and the leaders of this movement had already made plans to transform "AMERICA FIRST" by amalgamation of members with the million of his radio followers, into a mighty political party.... a kind of private army which was screened behind the formation of the "CHRISTIAN FRONT".... the Catholic Church in the United States of America could not support this campaign too openly. It was in its interest even to disown Father Coughlin at times.... [but] In 1936 Bishop Gallagher, Coughlin's superior, on his return from a visit to the Vatican, made so that he could discuss, with the Pope, Coughlin's activities, declared: "Father Coughlin is an outstanding priest, and his voice... is the voice of God..." [in 1942 Father Edward Brophy said] "The days are coming WHEN THIS COUNTRY WILL NEED A COUGHLIN and need him badly."
Like Donald Trump, Father Coughlin, "the radio priest" was preaching the doctrine of "AMERICA FIRST". It is also interesting that twenty-seven years after Father Coughlin died (1979), a 2016 article in the Washington Weekly Standard, titled "The Day Trump Went Full Father Coughlin," makes a direct link between this extreme right wing-fascist Catholic priest and Donald Trump, showing that Trump was merely parroting the extreme rhetoric of Father Coughlin! Is that a mere coincidence? Here is part of the article, "While there was little doubt where his sympathies lay, it was not until Thursday that Donald Trump fully and publicly embraced the most conspiratorial aspects of right-wing American politics. Witness his speech in West Palm Beach Florida, in which Trump engaged in the sort of rhetoric once associated with the likes of 'Father Coughlin' figure predicted by the priest Father Brophy.
On page 130 of his 1957 book and page 385 of his 1949 work, best-selling author Avro Manhattan quotes Father Coughlin as follows: "... WE PREDICT, LASTLY, THE END OF DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA..."
Manhattan wrote, "The Vatican designs to conquer the United States of America, not only as such, but also as the leader of the Americas....
Said Manhattan, "... The groundwork for the launch of a full-blooded Fascism in North America had been successfully done. With the blessing of the Vatican, the money of the big dinosaurs, and the support of a great proportion of the American masses there was now initiated... [an] even cleverer design: the conquest of the President of the United States of America." That "conquest" of the Presidency continues in Donald Trump! Like Obama, he will lick the dust off the Church's feet.
Moving on. Who do you think was at Trump's and Melania's wedding in 2005? Hillary and Bill! Among the 450 guests were the Clintons, Katie Couric, Rudy Giuliani, Star Jones, Simon Cowell, and Barbara Walters. While, I have little regard for the morals or the politics of the Clintons, one if left wondering, "When did Hillary become "crooked Hillary" in Mr. Trump's moral universe? At what point did Bill become a woman abuser in Trump's eyes? All the allegations Trump has leveled against the Clintons were known to him before his 2005 wedding. The Monica Lewinsky sex scandal came to light in 1998, and Bill was disbarred from presenting cases before the United States Supreme Court in 2001. Trump's wedding was in 2005! In the words of Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live, these Democrats and Republicans are like professional wrestlers."
Perhaps if the Media pundits, Talk Show Hosts on both sides of the political divide, the likes of Savage, Limbaugh, and others,-on the one hand-and 'The Young Turks', Bill Maher, Howard Stern, on the other hand, knew of the facts herein, they would stop 'unwittingly' advancing the political interests of the Church of Rome in 'hacking' at each other.
These men do not see clearly; they see only 'the shadows on the wall.' It is not that they are always wrong in their assessment of the otherside's position, but they fail to see the hands of the 'Jesuits', 'Left' and 'Right,' Conservative and Liberal. Having 'fingered' the wrong enemy, they attack phantoms with their cacophony! In their 'rage' against each other, they are fermenting a 'renaissance' of hate, aiding what Rome desires: the 'dismantling' of the USA. The Jesuits and their 'students' (that is, incognito-see pages 80, 89, 134-136, 154, 283) are stirring the dregs in American politics! Jesuits use thesis-antithesis ('Left' and 'Right'); and they have their 'revolutionaries' (like Obama), schismatics, Media hacks and agitators (like Bannon and Hannity-the modern 'Father Coughlin,' of the Right)! It is a classic Jesuit strategem to divide and conquer! As the Jesuit Voce della Verita states: "We shall soon see all Christendom DIVIDED INTO TWO CAMPS; on the one side the champions of Christ and His Church; on the other the servants if Belial. We shall pass through severe conflicts, but the history of eighteen centuries ASSURES US OF FINAL VICTORY"! (cited in James Shaw's, The Roman Conflict..., (1878), p.514).
If you doubt what is implied by the above photographs and then one on the next page, then consider the words of these two distinguished gentlemen. Firstly, Professor Arthur S. Miller of George Washington University Law School who wrote:
"... those who formally rule take their signals and commands, not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men... the Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied; it is one of the secrets of the American social order. A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment-the ruling class- is not supposed to be discussed. A third secret is implicit in what has been said-that THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE POLITICAL PARTY OF AN CONSEQUENCE IN THE UNITED STATES... the 'Property Party.' The Republicans and the Democrats are in fact two branches of the same (secret) party. [words in round brackets in original]
Next we have Bill Clinton's Jesuit professor, Carrol Quigley, who revealed that in the late nineteenth century, a plan was developed that would allow them control of both major political parties in the United States by means of finacial contributions, and have those parties ALTERNATE POWER so that the public would think it had a choice.
This confirms what Professor Miller said about the "Republicans and the Democrats... [being] in fact two branches of the same (secret) party."
Like they says, "It's a game." But who is doing the playing?
We must never lose sight of the fact that Catholicism is a broad tent and has many in its camp. There are Catholics, in good and regular standing with the Church who are pro-abortion, such as the Kennedy family. The Jesuits have an even broader tabernacle than the Church itself. It was the Jesuit University of Notre Dame that gave the liberal Barrack Obama his honorary degree and allowed him to speak at its campus, despite his views on abortion, gay marriages, etc. And Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, a staunch Roman Catholic, is the ultimate left-wing America, Georgetown University. He was a Jesuit pawn.
Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. The Rhodes society was founded on the Constitutions of the Jesuits [[https://jesuitas.lat/uploads/the-constitutions-of-the-society-of-jesus-and-their-complementary-norms/Constitutions%20and%20Norms%20SJ%20ingls.pdf]].
William T. Stead (Cecil Rhode's closest collaborator and mentor) confirms, "Mr. Rhodes was more than the founder of a dynasty. He aspired to be the creator of one of those vast semi-religious, quasi-political associations... like the Society of Jesus [the Jesuits]... To be more strictly accurate, he wished to found an Order... and while he lived he dreamed of being both its Caesar and its Loyola...'
In the America Review of Reviews, May 1902, page 556, William Stead quotes directly from Mr. Rhodes in a letter (written in 1890):
"Please remember the key of my idea discussed with you is a Society, copied from the Jesuit as to organization." And Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton's Jesuit professor, informs us that, "In his 'Confession of Faith' Rhodes outlined the types of persons who might be useful members of this secret society." Thus, Clinton must have been 'useful' to Rhodes secret society that was admittedly based on the Jesuit organization.
In closing this chapter, the reader will notice that I have refrained from making comments about the Presidency of Donald Trump; I need not do so, as his actions tell their own compelling story: his hiring of KellyAnne Conway, a Catholic lawyer, as his political strategist; of Sean Spicer, another Roman Catholic (since 'fired'); of Steve Bannon, another Catholic and a graduate of the Jesuit Georgetown University (recently 'fired' by Trump); and lastly his August 2017 pardoning of former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, a Roman Catholic, convicted for racial profiling (and who left out in questioning Obama's Birth Certificate). In pardoning Arpaio, Trump symbolically pardoned himself.
Trump nominated and had appointed U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general (the nation's chief law enforcement officer, responsible for upholding its laws), despite the fact that Sessions clearly lacks respect for the constitutional principle of the 'Separation of church and state,' which he has called an "extra-constitutional doctrine" and "a recent thing that is unhistorical and unconstitutional". Sessions is so 'zealous' that he has rebuked the former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary that he has rebuked the former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy, because he swore in witnesses without requiring them to use the phrase "So help me, God." Sessions also said that a justice of the Supreme Court must be "religious enough" in order "to do" his or her "job well." Reader, under Trump, we will see direct attacks on the separation of church and state. In rejecting the evils of 'Obamarism,' Americans have replaced one assault on religious freedom by liberal-secularists for another by Evangelicals and Catholics!
Are you ready for this onslaught by the Christian Supremacist?
American constitutional values will be turned upside down, inside out!
Reader, what we shall see and hear from President Trump, if he avoids impeachment, will be deliberately disjointed and disruptive as any movie by a certain Catholic film producer, who has admitted that the films are " a lot of dumb stuff"! On the international front, he will use the same flamboyant (and hyperbolical) language to threaten his and on the home front, when his presidency is under threat, he will use 'enemies' as he would when 'forcing' through a major property 'deal" ; and on the home front, when his presidency is under threat, he will use Twitter to rally his 'base' being under influence of the Jesuits, will stir up internal divisions, push for the uniting of church and state, thereby weakening American democracy. Soon, the real power in America will come to the fore. As I said before, the Jesuits always come up 'trumps'! No pun intended!
Avro Manhattan warned us years ago:
"... The Catholic Church, SEEMINGLY preoccupied only with its religious tasks, is feverishly engaged in a race for the ultimate spiritual CONQUEST OF THE WORLD!... Not a single event of importance that has contributed to the PRESENT CHAOTIC STATE OF AFFAIRS has occurred WITHOUT THE VATICAN TAKING AN ACTIVE PART IN IT...."
On page 395, Manhattan explained what he calls the Vatican's "campaign for the ultimate conquest of the United States of America," as being "conducted simultaneously along four main lines: "(A) Alliance with the United States of America in the struggle against world Communism. (B) The lulling of Protestant opposition within the United States of America... The assumption of the role of the first and foremost Christian Knight against the Red Dragon [an allusion to liberal socialism]. (C) Intensification of the process of Americanizing Catholicism inside and outside America. (D) Unobtrusive efforts to batter certain clauses in the political structure of the United States of America... which would ULTIMATELY GIVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A PRIVILEGED STATUS vis-a-vis other Churches."
Ellen Harmon warned of the same in these words: "Marvelous in her shrewdness and cunning is the Roman Church. She can read what is to be... SHE BIDES HER TIME.... History testifies of her artful and persistent efforts to insinuate herself into the affairs of nations... to further her own aims....
To achieve that end, the Jesuits have reduced Machiavellianism to a theory, jobbing into office men they have poisoned with their maxims!
Both educated by the Jesuits, Trump and Obama (who had a personal Jesuit mentor) have deeply divided America: in the red corner the champion of extreme un-Christian fundamentalism, and in the blue corner the avant-garde of a bold and 'unholy liberalism.' No wonder John Adams, 2nd President of the United States, in a letter dated May 16, 1822, to Thomas Jefferson said: "I have recently read Pascal's letter over again, and four volumes of history of the Jesuits. If ever any congregation of men could merit eternal perdition on earth and in hell, according to these historians... it is this company of Loyola... if they do not put THE PURITY OF OUR ELECTIONS TO A SEVERE TRIAL IT WILL BE A WONDER"!
The Jesuit journal Voce della Verita boldly says that in the Jesuit Order we are not dealing with a mere society of priests, but "with a power capable of forming the boldest scheme-a scheme worthy of the crisis that has come upon her-and which the courage to execute it.
We have to do with a power WHICH SLOWLY RIPENS HER PLANS, BIDES HER TIME, and then SUDDENLY LEAPS OUT OF THE DARKNESS to wrap cities IN CIVIL WAR and kingdoms in revolution."
Reader, these are the words of the Jesuit organ in Rome! This is a confession of the true sentiments of the Jesuitical elements.
As Professor Luther Twonsend of Boston University observed,
"Under the leadership of this Jesuitical order, the Roman Catholic Church will be found TO SIDE WITH ONE PARTY, THEN WITH ANOTHER, until each is so weakened that she can rule both. She will join hands with infidels against Protestants, but having gained her object, she will consign both allies and foes to contempt or to flames. She will make contracts and compacts, any number of them, BUT WHEN SHE BELIEVES HERSELF POWERFUL ENOUGH TO TRAMPLE THEM UNDER FOOT, she will do so... without hesitation or scruple."
Reader, the Jesuit Order in America is a sword buried in its scabbard waiting to be unsheathed; and when the time is right, they will 'leap out of the darkness "to wrap [American] cities IN CIVIL WAR and... in revolution (to use the language of the Jesuit Voce della Verita)!
The Letter Donald Trump wrote Catholic Leaders
Pope Francis Lord of the World
Pearl Harbor and our declaration of war put a temporary end to the political organization that Clerical Fascism was in the process of forging. Coughlin was just about to take over majority control of America First and form it into a political party, when war was declared.
He had already given hints, which were seconded by Philip LaFollette and the N. Y. Daily News. He was about to replace Catholic John T. Flynn of the strategic New York chapter with a more obedient lackey.
AMERICA FIRST, started by fascist minded business magnates, had at first been independent of Coughlin. But by infiltration the Coughlinites became the dominant element. Catholic church prelates gave it their enthusiastic approval.
At one of its mass meetings in Madison Square Garden in New York City, under the chairmanship of John T. Flynn, Cardinal O’Connell, dean of the American Catholic hierarchy and Bishop Shaughnessy of Seattle, formerly of the Apostolic Delegation in Washington, D.C., sent telegrams of congratulation which were publicly read.
Carlson (p. 260) quotes an official of America First to the effect that its membership was 80 per cent Coughlinite and would eventually be under Coughlin’s complete control. General Wood had at first objected to Coughlinite dominance but later ‘‘humbled himself before the reverend-dictator of Royal Oak?’ in a letter published in SOCIAL JUSTICE.
In addition to the Coughlinite majority, America First included large
numbers of the Ku Klux Klan element who in recent years have allied themselves with Catholic Fascists in a war on Jewry and ‘Communist’ unions. Louis B. Ward, one of Coughlin’s chief assistants, addressed the Pontiac chapter of America First four different times. This chapter was made up almost exclusively of Klan members. Garland Alderman, secretary of the National Workers League, a fascist organization of KKK members, said that he was nurtured in Fascism by Father Coughlin’s Social Justice and had also attended a series of ““special lectures’’ by Coughlin one winter. ( Under Cover, p, 305)
He named Coughlin as one of the Americans who in the opinion of his organization would negotiate with Hitler after the hoped-for world triumph of Nazism. pages 6-7
....
"Under the camouflaged name of ‘“Midtown Sporting Club’’ the Manhattan ‘Iron Guard Unit’ of the Christian Front drilled in Donovan’s Hall near the Paulist Catholic church mentioned above. Like Franco’s revolutionaries they took a secret oath that said, ‘‘I will look to God for guidance.’’ They were exhorted previous to the drill:
“You are soldiers of Christ. Men like you fought in Spain. Men like you will fight in America ... You are defenders of the Faith. Your duty is to fight for Christ and Country.”
On January 13, 1940, the FBI raided a Brooklyn ‘‘Sporting Club’’ of the Christian Front. A Federal court suit ensued. The Jesuit publication America, leading Catholic weekly in its issue of January 27, 1940, ridiculed the case, and called it a Jewish plot. Public masses were said for the ‘‘heroes on trial.’’ Carlson sums up the case and its foredoomed failure when he says that “‘the ‘big boys’ behind the scenes were never made public.’’ The verdict of the Catholic jury was a foregone conclusion. Father Curran, Coughlin’s
lieutenant in the East, slyly hinted at an acquittal celebration that a close relative of his was the jury foreman.
In 1926, in Germany, Hitler revolutionaries were similarly arrested and acquitted. As late as 1930 Thomas Mann said of the Nazis: ‘‘I regard the National Socialist Party as a flash-in-the which will soon be over,’’
The Christian Front is only temporarily under cover. Coughlin is biding his time. Father Edward Brophy of Brooklyn, a Christian Front leader at one of their meetings in June 1942 paid :
“‘The days are coming when this country will need a Coughlin and need him badly. We must get strong and keep organized
for that day.’’
In Social Justice of Sept. 1, 1939 Coughlin predicted that it would take seven to ten years to win control. He added :
“We predict that .. . the National-Socialists in America—organized under that or some other name—eventually will take control of the government on this continent. We predict, lastly, the end of democracy in America.”’
Even when he was put off the radio he confidently threatened:
"I have been retired temporarily . . .
Not until there is an opportunity for the pendulum of reaction to swing to the right will I resume my place before a microphone . . . I extend to them (‘men powerful in the field of radio and other activities’) my heartiest congratulations for all that the future holds in store for them." pages 8-9
....
"Clerical Fascism, driven underground during the war, is certain to rise again with a cry to ‘SAVE AMERICA for the Americans.’ Those who fail to realize this threat to our future should ponder well the following facts:
America First controlled by Coughlinites boasted of 15,000,000 members.
In one meeting in the Hollywood Bowl in California it drew a crowd of 100,000 ‘patriots.’ Gerald L. K. Smith, Fascist, polled 100,000 votes in Michigan last year. The Hearst-Gannett and the Mc-Cormick-Patterson newspaper chains have over 15,000,000 readers. Mrs. Finley J. Sheppard, daughter of the late Jay Gould, gave millions to American Fascists. Robert O’Callaghan, Irish- Catholic friend of Joe McWilliams and Ku Kluxer Edward Smythe, is doing confidential government work in the Chicago office of the Alien Property Custodian, Leo Crowley.
If America waits too long to wake up to its danger, it may ironically fulfill the words of Jesuit-trained Goebbels, spokesman for Catholic Hitler:
“IT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE BEST' JOKE MADE BY THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM THAT IT PROVIDED ITS DEADLY ENEMIES WITH THE MEANS TO DESTROY IT.” page 11

Ultramontanism was a school of thought of the Catholic Church which promoted supreme papal authority in matters of spirituality and governance. Ultramontanism rejected modern ideals in favour of the supremacy of Catholicism and the Catholic Church in public life. This school of thought was particularly influent in the French-Canadian society during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
Jules-Paul Tardivel, journalist, novelist. Until his death he devoted himself to his two lifelong obsessions: ultramontanism and nationalism.
(1851-1905)
Origins
In Canada and in Europe — mainly in France, where ultramontanism appeared during the Middle Ages and grew rapidly during the French Revolution —, its supporters criticized the separation of Church and state, as well as what they considered manifestations of modern liberalism. They pushed for the supremacy of the Catholic Church in both civil and religious matters. This school of thought was mainly characterized by its attachment to the Holy See’s authority and, as of 1870, by its faith in the Pope’s infallibility. The term “ultramontane” meant, literally, “beyond the mountains,” because the French Ultramontanes believed in the supremacy of the Vatican — which is located beyond the mountains of the Alps — over the local clergy.
Ultramontanism was adopted in Canada in the 1820s, first in the Saint-Hyacinthe seminary under the strong influence of French priest Félicité de Lamennais, then in Montreal under that of its first Catholic bishop, Jean-Jacques Lartigue. The latter opposed the Gallican ideas and fought for the freedom of the Church and for religious supremacy in matters of education. His successor, Monseigneur Ignace Bourget, led the triumph of ultramontane ideas in all fields (theology, education, relations between Church and state, etc.) in Montreal and made them a major, albeit contested, part of the Catholic world in Canada.
Ideological Split
Ultramontanism grew strong in Canada, but faced a split at the end of the 1860s, following the Guibord Affair. Monseigneur Bourget, followed by Monseigneur Louis-François Laflèche, represented a group of extreme Ultramontanes who were more active within political institutions. This group fought for the immediate application of ultramontane principles, namely the Church’s supreme power over education matters, the reform of laws under canon law and the introduction of episcopate monitoring of civil legislation. Moderate Ultramontanes, like Joseph-Sabin Raymond, to whom the extremists referred as liberals, wished for a more prudent application of the Ultramontane principles and for compromise where necessary.
The extremists engaged conservative journalists and politicians, who advocated for a Catholic election platform as early as 1871 with the goal of guaranteeing the supremacy of the Church over politics. Over the following years, the extremists and supporters of the election platform led an anti-liberal crusade, which resulted in the creation of the Castors (“Beavers”) in 1882.
Influence
Ultramontanism dominated philosophy and theology teachings in small and large seminaries, the social doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church in Canada and several bishop directives from the second half of the 19th century until the 1950s.
Ultramontanist thought guided the ideals of important French Canadian nationalists who desired a self-sufficient society governed by the Church. The movement had a significant influence over the French-Canadian society and Maurice Duplessis’ reign as premier of Quebec. Ultramontanism fed traditional and conservative tendencies within the French-Canadian society, until the Quiet Revolution and the Second Vatican Council put an end to this influence.

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is the final and the only result of a complex reform that involves various Masonic Systems which developed separately one from another during the XVIII century in the range of the so called Scottish Regime. This regime originated from the advent of the Scottish Masters since about 1738 and continued with the Chapters of Clermont (1754), the Emperors of the Orient and the Western world (1758) which put in practice rituality defined as the Rite of Perfection or the Rite of Heredom. The aim of the reform, that unified all in one single Order, was aside from these veins, also minor branches with more recent manifestation among which the Primitive Rite and others.
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is the rituality that characterises a particular Masonic Body which it adopts and makes his. This Masonic Body is called “The Supreme Council of the Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the 33 rd and Last Level of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite”.
The first Supreme Council (SC) called Mother of the World was founded in Charleston, Carolina, USA on the May 31st 1801 and presently has headquarters in Washington DC, USA.
In some ten years the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, under the impetus of the SC of Charleston, practically spread to all the world through further Supreme Councils which were formed in national territorial Jurisdictions, each independent and autonomous, jealous of their very sovereignty.
The Scottish Rite in Italy
The SC of Italy, that today is denominated “the Supreme Council SS.GG.II.GG. of the 3 rd and Last Level of the Free Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Italian Jurisdiction – Grand Orient of Italy – Palazzo Giustiniani” as shown in a manuscript handed down as the Verbal of the Foundation, also called the “Seal of Foundation” which was founded and installed ritually in Milan on March16th 1805 by the Count Alexandre Francois Auguste De Grasse Tilly S.G.C. of the SC of France (1804), duly assisted by the French and Italian Brothers, with Licenses conferred by the SC Mother of the World of Charleston. The SC of Italy was a direct emanation of this Ritual Body.
In the same constitutional act of the SC of Italy, it is formally declared that it “creates and constitutes by its sovereign authority a General Grand Lodge in Italy under the name of G.O. Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite“. The Grand Orient of Italy, thus founded, was ritually installed on June 20th 1805 by the same founders of the SC of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
The SC of Italy with headquarters in Milan, had jurisdiction only in the territory of the Italian Kingdom and the Sovereign Grand Commander was the Vice King Eugenio Beauharnais.
Subsequently, on the not yet unified Italian territory, other SS.CC ‘s were formed among which (in Naples) a SC called of the two Sicilies (1809), a SC of Palermo (1860), a SC of Naples (1860). Following the unification of Italy initially a SC was formed with the fusion of the SC Milan with that of Turin (1862), then with the transfer of the capital to Florence another SC of this city (1864) was formed. A further SC was established in 1870 in Rome, permanent Capital of the Kingdom. Following numerous agreements and with much difficulty, the unification between the various SS.CC in a single SC of Italy was achieved with headquarters in Rome.
From a schism which occurring 1908, a second SC was born called “Piazza del Gesù” which since 1912 was recognized by many SS.CC. of the world opposed to that of 2Palazzo Giustiniani”. The fascist period, during which all Masonic activity in Italy was prohibited, actually eliminated the problem of this atypical duplication between the historical continuity and the possession of recognition of the various Jurisdictions.
The separation between the Jurisdictions of the Grand Orient of Italy and the SC was sanctioned in 1922. The conference of Paris of the SS.CC. of the world, held in 1929, authorized this principle for all the SS.CC.
Upon recommencement of Masonic activity in 1943, after the failures of unification attempts, those who possessed the Supreme Level of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, formed two SS.CC. of “Palazzo Giustiniani” and “Piazza del Gesù”.
From 1960 to 1973, the residual incomprehension between the two historical blocks of Italian Masonry were settled. Since then, in spite of other efforts of schism, in particular that of 1977 which failed owing to the loyalty of the Scottish Brothers of Italy and the wisdom of SS.CC. of the rest of the world, the SC of “Palazzo Giustiniani” represents the regularity for 54 Supreme Councils in the world.

Vatican reaffirms 'grave sin' of Freemasonry, says Catholics cannot join the world's largest secret society
Freemasonry has been prohibited for Catholics since 1738, when Pope Clement XII called the secret society 'depraved and perverted'
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi Fox News
Published November 15, 2023 12:25pm EST
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) has reaffirmed the Catholic Church's teachings that laity or clerics participating in Freemasonry are in "a state of grave sin."
The DDF released the Nov. 13 document to the public with the signatures of Pope Francis and the DDF Prefect Cardinal Victor Fernández, urging the faithful not to participate in or affiliate with Freemasonry groups.
"On the doctrinal level, it should be remembered that active membership in Freemasonry by a member of the faithful is forbidden because of the irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry," the document reads, citing the 1983 "Declaration on Masonic Associations" by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who would go on to become Pope Benedict XVI.
"Therefore, those who are formally and knowingly enrolled in Masonic Lodges and have embraced Masonic principles fall under the provisions in the above-mentioned Declaration. These measures also apply to any clerics enrolled in Freemasonry," the document continues.
The clarification was requested by Bishop Julito Cortes of the Philippines, who raised concerns about growing interest in the secret society in his country.
Freemasonry, the world's largest secret society with millions of members scattered across almost every country in the world, established its first Grand Lodge in England in 1717.
The society swears oaths of secrecy, fellowship and fraternity among members and has accumulated a vast catalog of rituals, ceremonial attire and secret signals between masons. These aesthetic affectations often use Christian imagery despite being used for non-Christian rituals.
Freemasons are usually expected to profess belief in a "supreme being" but are not obligated to believe in any specific deity.
Members of the Catholic Church are not allowed to join or affiliate with Freemasonry groups due to the organizations' deistic, non-Christian teachings about divinity.
Additionally, the secretive and ritualistic nature of Freemason lodges has often led to accusations from Catholic leaders of idolatry and clandestine opposition to Christianity.
However, Freemason associations are far from uniform, and Masonic culture differs greatly between different rites, sects, lodges and national bodies of Freemasonry. The Catholic Church has fought most aggressively with Masonic bodies in continental Europe, which boasts a more ideological tone.
Freemasonry in the U.S. and the U.K., while still linked to overseas lodges, is reportedly more socially and professionally focused.
Freemasonry was rendered an excommunicable offense in 1738 by Pope Clement XII, who called the secret society "depraved and perverted."
The 1983 document by then-Cardinal Ratzinger cited in the Vatican's latest document states that the "negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden."
The 1983 document adds, "The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion."
The Vatican recommended a pastoral approach to the issue of Freemasonry in the Philippines, suggesting national bishops push for greater catechesis on the subject among the laity.
"On the pastoral level, the Dicastery proposes that the Philippine Bishops conduct catechesis accessible to the people and in all parishes regarding the reasons for the irreconcilability between the Catholic Faith and Freemasonry."
It is debated whether joining a Freemasonic lodge incurs an automatic excommunication from the Catholic Church under Canon Law.

Barnum said and I quote "there's a sucker born every minute", villian Hillary claimed they were passive investors in whitewater they would have you believe they were innocent dupes in a series of unfortunate schemes perpetuated on them by unscrupulous cads mcquarrie no and the Hour of the Time tend to demonstrate to you that the exact opposite is true.
Number one, it was built in himself who masterminded the schemes in connection with the intelligence community with its roots in the Central Intelligence Agency. Number two, Hillary through her legal connections with a key player in much of the fraud, and three, the Clintons and their friends benefitted to the tune of millions of dollars.
One thing you have to understand is that the political machine in Arkansas is one of the most corrupt systems in the nation. It's impossible to be in Arkansas politics and not be corrupt and it is heavily under the control of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, of the Southern Jurisdiction.
Let me give you two examples of what we're talking about here. One Arkansas governor ensured every concrete and steel bridge in the state for fire, mind you, every concrete and steel bridge in the state for fire. Now, who, dear listeners, you think owned the insurance company?
Another governor up on fraud charges fired the judge. He replaced him with the town drunks who promptly dismissed the grand jury that was about to hand down an indictment. Hallelujah, Arkansas, that's just politics as usual in Arkansas. Bill was just following the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors but ypu see he had an extra incentive. The GABAA governor of Arkansas pays a disparity $35,000 a year. Clinton was not independently wealthy, it was a small-town boy with huge political ambition. He was picked by the power structure, his mentor was the man who wrote Tragedy and Hope, he was sent to England to Oxoford under a Rhodes Scholarship to learn how to lead the sheeple into the New World Order, into one world government. He's an Anglophile, he believes in British Israelism."

"Tragedy and HOPE: A History of the World in Our Time is a work of history written by former Georgetown University professor and historian Carroll Quigley. The book covers the period of roughly 1880 to 1963 and is multidisciplinary in nature though perhaps focusing on the economic problems brought about by the First World War and the impact these had on subsequent events. While global in scope, the book focuses on Western civilization."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_and_Hope
"In his first year (1965) in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, Bill Clinton took Quigley's course, receiving a 'B' as his final grade in both semesters (an excellent grade in a course where nearly half the students received D or lower).[1]: 94, 96 In 1991, Clinton named Quigley as an important influence on his aspirations and political philosophy, when Clinton launched his presidential campaign in a speech at Georgetown.[1]: 96 He said he learned from Quigley that “The future can be better than the past, and that each of us has a personal, moral responsibility to make it so.” Bill Clinton told his audiences, “that is what the new choice is all about....We are not here to save the Democratic party. We are here to save the United States of America.” It was Clinton's most effective speech, and he repeated variations time and time again as the blueprint for his campaign message in winning the Democratic nomination and the general election for President of the United States in 1992.[21][22]"

"Theorists also cite the inclusion of Bill Clinton at the meetings in 1991 before he was president and Tony Blair’s presence in 1993 before he became the British prime minister as examples of the group’s power. Past attendees have included former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (who will also be attending this year), former Chase Manhattan chief executive David Rockefeller, and British Prime Minister David Cameron."

His Holiness Pope Francis, President Clinton Discuss Climate Change, Importance of Collaboration, and the Work of the Bambino Gesù Hospital at CGI 2023
Today, His Holiness Pope Francis joined President Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2023 Meeting for a conversation via remote link.
During the conversation, His Holiness Pope Francis and President Clinton discussed the urgent need to act on climate change, our collective responsibility to come together in the face of difficulty, the work of the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital, and more.
Please find the full transcript of the conversation below.
President Clinton:
The Pope is with us today. Holy Father, we are so honored to have you join us at CGI this year. You’re speaking to a room full of people from all over the world, from all walks of life, who, each in their own way, are trying to follow the admonition of Isaiah, who told us we had to be repairers of the breach.
They know our world is broken in many ways, but also full of many possibilities, and they’re trying to make the most of their ability to make a difference. I thought it would be interesting given our wonderful meeting a few weeks ago, if you could say what you believe about the obligations of ordinary people to make a difference, to deal with these big challenges that are so big that no person, no matter how wealthy or powerful, no person can believe that he or she could do them alone. What are ordinary people supposed to do with their days that will make our societies better or our problems less severe?
Pope Francis:
Thank you, Mr. President, for inviting me to your meeting. Thank you very much. It is important to spread a culture of encounter, a culture of dialogue, a culture of listening and of understanding. It is necessary to share thoughts on how to contribute to the common good and how not to leave behind the most vulnerable people such as children, who through the foundation, the patrons of Bambino Gesù, are at the root of this meeting. We all know it. We are living through a changing epoch. Only together can we emerge from it better. Together. Only together can we heal the world from the globalization of indifference.
You, Mr. President, have listed the many challenges of our time: climate change, humanitarian crises affecting migrants and refugees and childcare and many others. I would add to this, the wind of war that blows around the world fueling with the spirit of war, what I have repeatedly called the Third World War, but peaceful. We are in need of a great and shared assumption of responsibility. No challenge is too great if we meet it, starting with personal conversion, the personal conversion of each of us, the personal contribution that each of us can make to solve it, and from an awareness of what it is that makes us part of one destiny.
No challenge can be overcome alone, not alone, moving together, sisters and brothers, children of God. This is why I always encourage, and I want to do so here as well, all women and men of goodwill not to give up in the face of difficulties. Difficulties are part of life and the best way to deal with them is to always seek the calming good, never alone, always together. Difficulties can bring out the best or the worst in us. Therein lies our challenge, fighting selfishness, narcissism, division with generosity and humility. Better unity than conflict. It is time to find the path of peace, the change for fraternity. It is time for weapons to cease and for us to return to dialogue. Let the designs of conquest and military aggression cease. That is why I repeat, no to war, no to war. It’s time to work together to stop the ecological catastrophe before it’s too late.
That’s why I’ve chosen to write a new document ten years after the publication of the encyclical Laudato si’. Let us stop while there is still time. Please, please let us stop while there is still time. It’s time to face migration emergencies. Remembering that we are not talking about numbers, but about people: men, women, and children. When we talk about migration, let’s think about the eyes of the children we’ve seen in refugee camps. It’s time to think about the youngest, the children, and of their education and to their care. As you know, Mr. President, this meeting of ours stems from a great small project that I care about very much. It is about children and their health. In Italy, in Rome, near the Vatican, there’s a very special hospital: the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital. In the world, it is known as the Pope hospital, but to me, that’s not why it is unique. It is evident that our great little hospital cannot solve the problems of all the children in the world. However, it seeks to be a sign, a testimony that it is possible through many struggles to bring together great scientific research geared toward caring for children and the gratuitous welcoming of people in need, science and hospitality. Rarely are these two things found together.
The hospital welcomes children here in the Vatican. Two or three times, a helicopter has arrived with children who need urgent help from different parts of the world. In these terrible months marked by war, the Bambino Gesù Hospital has treated more than two thousand small, young patients of Ukraine who escaped from their country with various relatives. The healthcare sector today, more than ever, the first and most concrete form of charity is science. The capacity to care, which however must be accessible to all. Bambino Gesù Hospital is a concrete sign of charity and mercy of the church. There are illnesses that cannot be cured, but there are no children who cannot be cared for. Let’s keep this in mind. There are illnesses that cannot be cured, but there are no children who cannot be cared for. This is the distinctive feature of the hospital. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all and I wish you all a nice day.
President Clinton:
Thank you so much. It’s wonderful to see you again and hear you in such great voice, and thank you for saying something that I hope will mean something to every person because one of the things that we try to do, which is difficult enough in any form of life, but especially in public life, is to convince every person that he or she has a role to play without regard to their age or their standing. And I think you make us all feel empowered. And perhaps that is your greatest power as the Pope that you make everybody, even people who aren’t members of the Roman Catholic Church, feel that they have power and therefore they have responsibility. It’s an extraordinary gift, and I thank you for that. I know you have a busy day, but I wonder if there’s anything else you want to say. I thank you for what you said about the children and what you said about climate change. Do you have any other message for us before you go, anything you want to make sure we take to heart?
Pope Francis:
Both things, children and climate change. Please on climate change, let us take action before it’s too late.
President Clinton:
Thank you very much.

SECTION 1: THE APOSTOLIC CHARACTER OF OUR VOWS IN GENERAL
143 §1. Our consecration by profession of the evangelical counsels, by which we respond to a divine vocation, is at one and the same time the following of Christ poor, virginal, and obedient and a rejection of those idols that the world is always prepared to adore, especially wealth, pleasure, prestige, and power. Hence, our poverty, chastity, and obedience ought visibly and efficaciously to bear witness to this attitude, whereby we proclaim the evangelical possibility of a certain communion among men and women that is a foretaste of the future kingdom of God.[1]
§2. Our religious vows, while binding us, also set us FREE:
FREE, by our vow of poverty, to share the life of the poor and to use whatever resources we may have, not for our own security and comfort, but for service;
FREE, by our vow of chastity, to be men for others, in friendship and communion with all, but especially with those who share our mission of service;
FREE, by our vow of obedience, to respond to the call of Christ as made known to us by him whom the Spirit has placed over the Church, and to follow the lead of all our superiors.[2] [1] See GC 32, d. 4, no. 16; see GC 31, d. 16, no. 4; d. 17, no. 2; d. 18, no. 3. [2] GC 32, d. 2, no. 20. 215

ANCIENT ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE
The History and Legend of Scottish Rite Origins
The Story Unfolds…
Like much of early Masonic history, the origins of the Scottish Rite are uncertain. This is primarily due to the lack of historic documentation prior to the early 1700’s and not to any great veiled mystery. The few records kept were subject to loss, fire, weather and aging. So we can at best only speculate on many of our origins by looking at the few documents, historical references and legends that remain.
What We Know
n 1754, near Paris, Chevalier de Bonneville established the Chapter of Clermont. The Chapter resided in the College of Jesuits of Clermont, hence the name. It is said to have been created to honor the Duc de Clermont, then Grand Master of the English Grand Lodge of France.
The Chapter of Clermont was a “Chapter of the Advanced Degrees” and initially entailed six degrees and was later extended to 25 known degrees. The six initial degrees were 1˚, 2˚ and 3˚ St John’s Masonry, 4˚ Knight of the Eagle, 5˚ Illustrious Knight or Templar, 6˚ Sublime Illustrious Knight.
Interestingly enough historically, prior to the time of the Rite’s creation, James II had been in residence at Clermont in exile from Britain from 1688 to his death in 1701. As noted by German Masonic historian, Lenning… “whilst in exile, James II residing at the Jesuit College of Clermont in France, allowed his closest associates to fabricate certain degrees in order to extend their political views.” Lenning believed this to have been an attempt on the part of James and his associates to regain control of the British throne for the House of Stuart. If Lenning is right, this places the origins of the “Rite of Perfection” in the hands of James II and the Jacobite (Stuart) Freemasons who at the time were in exile from Great Britain throughout France and Italy. Lenning also contends that these degrees were introduced into French Freemasonry under the name of the Clermont System.
James II died in exile in 1701. His son James III is said to have continued his father’s Masonic legacy and later created further higher degrees.
Perhaps James II saw in the Jesuit morality plays of the College of Clermont a vessel for passing on a set of moral lessons. Some of the world’s greatest playwrights had emerged from Clermont. Jesuit tutelage had previously produced great writers such as Lope de Vega, Moliere, Racine, and the Corneille brothers. Ensconced in exile, I believe James II did find the inspiration and the training to help produce what would later become the first six degrees. From out of the darkness… comes light.
To be continued… (Author’s note… An in depth look at the Templar influence in Scottish Rite masonry’s origins can be found by visiting the Rosslyn Templars’ website.)"

The Collège de Clermont was one of the earliest schools established by the Jesuits, who were incredibly influential in shaping education in Europe. The Jesuits were a rigid and hierarchical Catholic sect that followed the teachings of Ignatius Loyola.

Phi Beta Kappa, Literary Societies & Bill's Masonic Membership Not only is Bill Clinton a high-ranking Freemason, a Rhodes scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, and an ex-Yale law school dropout-Yale is the headquarters of Skull and Bones-his Alma Mater is Georgetown University; the first Jesuit university in America. Impeccable credentials for any good double agent of the great secret society.

Why should we care if people like Bill Clinton, Hilary Chinton, George Bush, Barack Obama (whose Presidential running mate, Joseph R. Biden, is a staunch Roman Catholic)" and Condoleezza Rice, are members of Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Beta Kappa, or Skull and Bones"? Well, according to the eminent Freemason, Arthur Edward Waite, it is because these secret societies frequently "determine in the depths fi.e. behind the scenes] the changes that take place on the surface. Moreover, virtually every one of the literary societies' (or sororities) at American universities are offsprings of that "giant evil" called Phi Beta Kappa, which was formed as an American echo of Adam Weishaupt's conspiratorial Illuminati Order. These societies require that their members take oaths, pledging allegiance to organizations other than the state, or country of their domicile.
11
On July 4, 1798, Timothy Dwight, President of Yale University. warned the people of New Haven about the Illuminati's use of American politics, religion and education to further their sinister ends: "Shall we introduce them into our government, our schools, our families? Shall our sons become the disciples of Voltaire (a French Jesuit-trained writer) and the dragoons of Murat, or our daughters, the

concubines of the Illuminati."" Unfortunately, many of the leading milies of America have become disciples of Illuminism through the stem of college sororities, or fraternaties: "The most prominent haracteristic of American undergraduate social life." But Albert C. tevens reminded us, all of the college fraternities have been extensively orrowed from Freemasonry. Here is the full text of his earlier quote:
Slome of the better known college fraternities give unmistakable evidence, to those of their members in a position to judge, of having been rummaged in the bureau drawers of Freemasonry, Odd Fellowship, Forestry, the Templars, Knights of Malta, and other 'orders' for ritualistic finery. Zeta Psi was founded by Freemasons. Delta Psi, Columbia, 1817, was dressed up by someone who had access to rituals of the bastard Masonic rites of Misraim and Memphis. Psi Upsilon hung its harp low on the tree of symbolic Masonry, while its offspring.... Theta Delta Chi went far afield and returned with the Forestic legend, while the earlier "Alpha Delts" were evidently inspired by what they knew of Royal Arch Masonry and the Red Cross degree as conferred in commanderies of Masonic Knights Templars [sic]."
Sadly, however, as Stevens writes on p. XV of his book The Cyclopaedia of Fraternities: "Very few among the six million members of nearly three hundred secret societies, fraternities, and sisterhoods in the United States are familiar with the origin or history" of these organizations. And yet, a little research will reveal that these college fraternities are the legacy of the Jesuit Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminati. How profound was the observation of French historian Louis Blanc when he wrote, Weishaupt was "one of the profoundest conspirators who have ever existed."
And lest the reader is inclined to think lightly of this fact-of leaders like Bill Clinton and others belonging to these Masonic organizations-I share a statement from the respected Masonic Professor Manly P. Hall,
19 Sermon, Duty of Americans, at the Present Crisis... Fourth July, 1798, at the request of the Citizens of New Haven, 1798, pp. 20,21; cited in Esther Ernestine Brown, The French Revolution and the American Man of Letters (University of Missouri, 1951), p. 135; Robert Ernest Spiller et al.

Pi Beta Kappa, Literary Societies & Bill's Masonic Membership
Hall writes: "When a Mason learns the... seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, like. before he is allowed to progress to the higher Masonic degrees] he must prove his ability to properly apply that energy!" Yes, that is what Manly Hall says about Freemasonry, of which Bill Clinton is a member. And that's not all. There is also proof which suggests that Bill Clinton was a deep cover CIA agent in the late 1960s-while at Oxford University, and that his handler was none other than the CIA's London bureau chief, Cord Meyer. But more on that in Chapter XXXVII.
Before we move on, I promised in the footnote on page 181 to say more about President Barack Obama. Here it is, for what it's worth.
Obama's gonna change it, Obama's gonna lead 'em We're gonna change it. And rearrange it....
The above sung is from a "grassroots" music video produced by "Sing for Change," showing children singing praises to Obama. Now, most people know that Barack Obama worked extensively in community organizing, in the 1980s. But what is not so well-known is that this community organizing was done when Obama was hired by a lay Catholic minister, Jerry Kellman, as lead organizer for a Chicago organization called" the "Developing Communities Project," funded by Chicago's south-side Catholic churches. What is also significant is that Obama's Chicago mentor Gregory Galluzzo was a Jesuit priest! And now, Obama's Chief Speechwriter, Jon Favreau, is a Jesuit-trained ethics' professor: Obama's Senior Military and Foreign Policy Advisor, Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, is Jesuit-trained; and Obama's Deputy Communications Director, Dan Pleiller, is Jesuit-trained. Obama chose Jesuit-controlled Joe Biden as his vice-president! Do you think that all of Mr. Obama's Jesuit connections and selections are mere coincidences? And why do you think the other side (Republicans) ran 'a corpse' and a hockey mum' against him? To ensure his victory! Yes, "Change has come to America"! Reader, what is yet to come will, at first, leave you nonplussed-even unnerved, alarmed, puzzled, mystified, bewildered, and ballled-but I promise, it will all be made clear at the end.

AMORC of the 1960’s in California was different than it is today. In the 1960’s they were big on hypnosis and used LSD and mescalin in their hypnosis sessions. They don't do that in modern times because those drugs are illegal. But in 1960s AMORC in California, the use of LSD and mind altering drugs was more common.
There is also a cross-over between Freemasons and AMORC. AMORC is open to everyone and you don't have to be a Freemason to join. But within Freemasons there is also an Order of the Rose Croix, which is the 18° of masons (Knights of the Rose Cross). So naturally some Rose Cross Masons also join AMORC, but don't assume that all AMORC members are Freemasons.
It is significant because Judge Earl Warren took the Freemason title “Wise Master of the Rose Croix” in 1938. That of course was decades before AMORC began using LSD in hypnosis, but it meant that Judge Warren's Freemason connections in California were Rosicrucians.

Grand Master Cocteau Sent Another Symbolic Message to Sion
Cocteau, as an artist, helped redecorate many Catholic churches destroyed by World War II. His
symbolic messages in art offer more confirmation that the Priory of Sion had turned the Roman
Church pro-Masonic. One example can be seen in the church of Notre Dame de France, around
the corner from Leicester Square in London. During the war the church was seriously damaged.
After the war it was restored and redecorated by artists from all over France. The authors of Holy
Blood, Holy Grail state that Cocteau was one of them, who, in 1960, three years before his death,
executed a mural depicting the Crucifixion. It is an extremely singular Crucifixion. There is a
black sun and a sinister, green tinged and unidentified figure in the lower right-hand corner.
There is a Roman soldier holding a shield with a bird emblazoned on it - a highly stylized bird
suggesting an Egyptian rendering of Horus. Among the mourning women and dice-throwing
centurions there are two incongruously modern figures - one of whom is Cocteau himself,
presented as a self-portrait, with his back significantly turned on the cross. Most striking of all is
the fact that the mural depicts only the lower portion of the cross. Whoever hangs upon it is
visible only as far up as the knees - so that one cannot see the face or determine the identity of
who is being crucified. And fixed to the cross, immediately below the anonymous victim's feet,
is a gigantic rose. The design, in short, is a flagrant Rose-Croix device.24
The symbology is both striking and blasphemous. The rose affixed to the base of the cross on
which a faceless person hangs is representative of the Rosicrucian doctrine of opposites. We
know that in Rosicrucian symbolism the rose entwined around the upright portion of the cross
represents the Serpent (Satan). Therefore, the anonymous person on the cross would be the
Adversary, the Rosicrucian antithesis of Christ. The hierarchy of the Priory of Sion would
readily understand the symbolic message: "At the head of the Catholic Church is our pope who
represents, not Christ, but the Adversary." The Grand Master of Sion, given the task to steer the
Catholic Church toward a pro-Masonic stance, painted his triumph in this mural!
Malachi Martin documents Cocteau's groundwork, upon which the Masonic takeover of the
Catholic Church actually followed after the deaths of Jean Cocteau and Pope John in 1963.
Martin notes the violence and swiftness of what followed in the Catholic Church:
"Nothing that happened foretold the violent change that awaited the Church, the papacy, and the
182
Jesuits in the 1960s.... [I]t is the first time that the Society of Jesus has turned on the papacy....
Never, it can be said, did the Society of Jesus as a body veer from that mission until 1965."25
The Pope who followed Roncalli in 1963 was Giovanni Battista Montini. Montini took the name
Paul VI in a break from John. Yallop notes, however, that Pope Paul was sickly and weak, and
documents time and again how he, because of physical and emotional weakness, was
manipulated. Paul VI's weak performance caused his thirty-three day-long successor Pope John
Paul I, in 1978 to wonder, "Did Pope Paul envisage a change in the Church's position on
Freemasonry?"26 John Paul I was soon assassinated by the Masons.
The Attempt on John Paul II
Karol Woityla from Poland was elected the new Vicar of Christ. Woityla took John Paul's name,
adding one Roman numeral, which signified that he would take up his predecessor's anti
Masonic crusade. Martin confirms that Freemasonry once again went to work to oppose the new
pope:
There were revelations that certain circles of the international section of the Masonic Lodge
in Europe and Latin America were actively organizing opposition to the Pontiff in Poland;
that Vatican prelates - some twenty in all - were formal members of the Italian Lodge; and
that once again Arrupe's Jesuits seemed involved with the Lodge circles opposed to the
Pontiff. Pope Paul VI had already in 1965 warned Arrupe and the Delegates to the 31st Jesuit
General Congregation of the dangers in belonging to the [Masonic] Compact; it began to
appear to John Paul that the warning had not been too wide of the mark.27
In May 1981 there was an attempt on John Paul II's life. Several investigators suspect
Freemasonry. France, dominated by Grand Orient Freemasonry, tried to shift blame for the
attempted assassination to communist Bulgaria. The leading Paris daily, Le Monde, reported on
December 3, 1982 that, "Soviet factional opponents of former KGB head Yuri Andropov were
suspected to be behind revelations of a Bulgarian connection to the May 13, 1981 attempt to
assassinate Pope John Paul II."28
Based upon subsequent evidence, however, the Le Monde article was apparently Masonic
disinformation. The Bulgarian government launched its own investigation to clear its name and
discovered that the controllers of Mehmet Ali Agca, the would-be assassin, were Turkish Mafia
figure Bekir Celenk and two Italian spies held in Bulgaria. In direct response to the international
spotlight on the Celenk case, the Bulgarian government announced on December 22, 1982, that it
was placing the two accused Italian spies, Paolo Farsetti and his girlfriend Gabriella Trevisini, on
trial. The charge, according to the report issued, was that the pair were agents of a Grand Orient
Scottish Rite Free Masonic Lodge called Propaganda Two, the same Lodge accused of
assassinating Pope John Paul I!29
183
Oddly enough, the attempt on the Pope's life caused John Paul II to change direction and
modify~ his opposition to Freemasonry. On January 12, 1983, the Pope issued a revised code of
canon law. George W. Cornell, the Associated Press religion writer, claimed that the revised
code "moves ahead in legislating reforms and principles approved by the Second Vatican
Council of 1962-1965.... The code implements other changes in church rules, such as permitting
Catholics to become Masons."
As is standard practice with the Masonically controlled press, journalist Cornell is stretching the
truth. On August 17, 1985, he clarified what the 1983 revised code of canon law actually
provided. It "omitted a provision of the old 1917 code excommunicating Catholics who join
Masonic orders." Although the result is essentially the same, that Catholics may join
Freemasonry without fear of reprisal, the Vatican still is opposed to Freemasonry. However,
Pope John Paul II opened the door for many Catholics to join the Masonic Order.
Jack Chick and Malachi Martin both claim that many Jesuits are Masons. Thus Chick proposes
that the Catholic Church, through the order of the Masonic Jesuits, are the conspirators. In
support of that theory is the fact that Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati, was once a
Jesuit.
Membership of a few Catholic priests in Masonry, however, is not sufficient evidence to
establish the Catholic Church as head of the conspiracy. When considering the eight parts of the
Octopus Theory, no evidence emerges that the Jesuits penetrated the hierarchy of Freemasonry.
To the contrary. Freemasonry, using a traitor Rosicrucian Pope and apostate Masonic Jesuits,
infiltrated the Church. Remember, Freemasonry is the one factor common to all eight legs of the
Octopus Theory, not Catholicism (See Preface.) Therefore, in the same manner in which
Masonry aims to use renegade Reform Jews to execute their planned destruction of Judaism, so
have the Masons used the Jesuits to help annihilate their own Church.
The schism between the Church and the Jesuits began in 1773 when the papacy defrocked the
Jesuits. The Vatican's action at that time, right or wrong, is of no consequence. Of significance is
the fact that it set in motion a chain of events which resulted in Masonry penetrating the Vatican.
Weishaupt emerged the winner. In that crucial year when Jesuits rushed to join his Order of
Illuminati, they did so not because they loved Weishaupt, for they abhorred him as much as he
despised them, nor because Illuminism was a Jesuit conspiracy. They joined his Order for one
reason - to protect themselves against persecution from Church and State. Little did they realize
they were uniting with the Order bent on the destruction of their beloved Church.
We can vividly see the primary weapon of the conspirators as it comes into focus. By involving
the Jews and the Jesuits through deception and disinformation in Freemasonry, Masonry could
promote its agenda and let its plans grow and mature by diverting the conspiracy hounds to false
prey. The "elusive game" in all conspiracy theories, when finally cornered, is Freemasonry. Jews
and Jesuits are only decoys. Weishaupt used them both.
184
Voltaire's Masonic Anti-Catholicism
Former Jesuit Weishaupt was the figurehead of a conspiracy, but not a Jesuit conspiracy. His
involvement with Voltaire, a vociferous hater of the Jesuits, is proof of his profound hatred not
only of Jesuits, but of all things Christian. The lives of Weishaupt and Voltaire [one of the most
prolific illuminated Masonic authors] overlapped by thirty years. Long an illuminist before
Weishaupt created the Order of that name, Voltaire gloated over the suffering of the Jesuits. In
1773, upon receiving the news of their plight, he exclaimed, "See, one head of the hydra has
fallen. I lift my eyes to heaven and cry 'crush the wretch."'30
Voltaire was not quiet about his intense opposition to Christianity. Dillon quotes him as saying,
"'I am tired of hearing it said that twelve men sufficed to establish Christianity, and I desire to
show that it requires but one man to pull it down."'31
Born Francis Mary Arouet, Voltaire first joined English Freemasonry while residing in London
in 1726-1728. Our own Benjamin Franklin inducted him into French Freemasonry in 1778.
Voltaire did not write under his own name, but used a code name to protect himself.32 (Earlier we
discussed the reason for secret names and name changes.)
According to Dillon, "Voltaire found that the Masonry to which he had been affiliated in
London, was a capital means of diffusing his doctrines among the courtiers, the men of letters,
and the public of France.... In the recesses of its lodges, the political conspirator found the men
and the means to arrive at his ends in security. "33
Voltaire defended lying as a virtue when practiced for the "good" he advocated. Dillon quotes
Voltaire as saying, "'Lying is a vice when it does evil. It is a great virtue when it does good. Be
therefore more virtuous than ever. It is necessary to lie like a devil, not timidly and for a time,
but boldly and always. "'34 Commander Carr, in The Conspiracy, likewise shows Voltaire
justifying all kinds of falsehood, telling his fellow enlightened, "'We must make them [the
populace] lavish promises and use extravagant phrases.... The opposite of what we promise may
be done afterwards.. .that is of no consequence."'35
Voltaire was a man who scorned all traditional moral restraints. Says Dillon, "He lived without
shame and even ostentatiously in open adultery. He laughed at every moral restraint. He
preached libertinage and practised it. "36
During his zenith Voltaire was the hero of the irreligionists. According to the historians Durant,
under the influence of Voltaire and his fellows, the whole tone of French society had changed.
Nearly every writer in France followed the line and sought the approval of the philosophes;
philosophie was in a hundred tides and a thousand mouths; "a word of praise from [Freemasons]
Voltaire, Diderot, or d'Alembert was more valued than the favor of a prince."
Foreign visitors angled for admission to salons where they might meet and hear the famous
185
philosophes; returning to their own lands, they spread the new ideas. [Freemason] Hume, though
in many of his views he preceded Voltaire, looked up to him as a master.... [Freemason
Benjamin] Franklin, and others joined in preparing an English translation and edition of
Voltaire's works in thirty-seven volumes (1762). In America the founders of the new republic
were deeply stirred by the writings of the philosophes. As to Germany, hear [Freemason]
Goethe's remarks to Brother Eckermann in 1820 and 1831: "You have no idea of the influence
which Voltaire and his great contemporaries had in my youth, and how they governed the [mind
of the] whole civilized world.... It seems to me quite extraordinary to see what men the French
had in their literature in the last century. I am astonished when I merely look at it. It was the
metamorphosis of a hundred-year-old literature, which had been growing ever since Louis XIV;
and now stood in full power. " 37
Voltaire himself, overcoming the natural pessimism of old age, sounded a note of Masonic
victory in 1771, as he evaluated the success of his "philosophy":
Well-constituted minds are now very numerous, they are at the head of nations; they influence
public manners; and year by year the fanaticism that overspread the earth is receding in its
detestable usurpation.... If religion no longer gives birth to civil wars, it is to philosophy
alone that we are indebted.... A usurpation [by Christianity] odious and injurious, founded
upon fraud on one side and stupidity on the other, is being at every instant undermined by
reason, which is establishing its reign.38
Voltaire equated "fanaticism" with Christianity and "philosophy" with Illuminated Masonry. In
Prussia, twenty years earlier, Voltaire had laid out for the Templar king, Frederick II, the
Masonic plan to undermine Christianity by "reason." Frederick II had been initiated into
Freemasonry in 1738. In 1761 he had been the acknowledged head of the Scottish Rite, himself
of the 32nd degree. From 1750-1755, Voltaire had been a guest at Frederick's ~ Monsignor
Dillon outlines the scope of Voltaire's aims and work during that visit:
He sketched out for them the whole mode of procedure against the Church. His policy as
revealed by the correspondence of Frederick II, and others with him, was not to commence an
immediate persecution, but first to suppress the Jesuits and all Religious orders, and to
secularize their goods; then to deprive the Pope of temporal authority, and the Church of
property and state recognition. Primary and higher-class education of a lay and Infidel [sic]
character was to be established, the principle of divorce affirmed, and respect for
ecclesiastics lessened and destroyed. Lastly, when the whole body of the Church should be
sufficiently weakened and Infidelity [sic] strong enough, the final blow was to be dealt by the
sword of open, relentless persecution. A reign of terror was to spread over the whole earth,
and to continue while a Christian should be found obstinate enough to adhere to Christianity.
This, of course, was to be followed by a Universal Brotherhood without marriage, family,
property, God, or law... 40
186
Of course the French Revolution put the Church to the sword. Dr. Dillon, writing in 1885, thirty
two years before the Russian Revolution, foresaw another tumult, which in the 20th century
broke forth again with all the fury of Voltaire's suggestions.
Dillon illustrates Voltaire's intense hatred for the Church by quoting the author's blasphemous
comments: "'I finish all my letters by saying, "Let us crush the wretch, crush the wretch!""'41
Again, Dillon quotes him writing to Damilaville: "'The Christian religion is an infamous religion,
an abominable hydra which must be destroyed by a hundred invisible hands. It is necessary that
the philosophers should course through the streets to destroy it as missionaries course over earth
and sea to propagate it. They ought to dare all things, risk all things, even to be burned, in order
to destroy it. Let us crush the wretch! Crush the wretch!"'42
Depraved men will boldly shake their fist in the face of Almighty God when riding the crest of
youth, health and popularity. But when faced with death they cower. So it was with Voltaire. On
his deathbed he was in extreme loneliness and fear. He thought of the inventions his corrupt
mind had devised against Jesus Christ and His Church. When he lay dying, horror filled his eyes
as he cried out "Oh, God! Oh, Christ! I wish that I had paid attention to your words more. Now
that I am dying I feel the fires of hell! Oh, God! Oh, Christ! "43
By the time of his death, Voltaire had been a member of English Freemasonry for fifty years.
Fifty-one days before his death he joined French Freemasonry. Yet the Masonic Great Architect
of the Universe was not there to comfort him. Plunging headlong into a Christiess eternity,
Voltaire shrieked his last words in the fury of despair and agony, "I am abandoned by God and
man."44
Dillon quotes a Dr. Fruchen, who witnessed the awful spectacle of Voltaire's death: "Would that
all who have been seduced by the writings of Voltaire had been witnesses of his death, it would
be impossible to hold out [from becoming a Christian] in the face of such an awful spectacle."'45
In contrast, Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry reports only the fact of Voltaire's death and
the sorrow it caused fellow Masons:
Voltaire was easily misunderstood. He was initiated in the Lodge of the Nine Sisters [an
illuminated lodge] at Paris, April 7, 1778. Benjamin Franklin and others distinguished in
Freemasonry were members of this famous Lodge. Franklin at the time of Voltaire's initiation
was a visitor only but subsequently became Worshipful Master of the Lodge. Voltaire's death,
on May 30, 1778, gave rise to a memorable Lodge of Sorrow, which was held on the
succeeding November 28.46
One sad note in Christendom is sounded by Dr. Dillon when he confirms that Protestants were
glad to see Voltaire's followers triumph over the Catholic Church. In a warning to Protestants,
this Catholic priest wrote to "our separated Christian brethren [that] it has been a cardinal point
of policy with [Voltaire's] followers to take advantage of the unfortunate differences between the
187
various sects of Christians in the world and the Church, in order to ruin both; for the destruction
of every form of Christianity, as well as Catholicity, was the aim of Voltaire, and remains as
certainly the aim of his disciples."47
Looking at Voltaire's life, and his ceaseless effort to destroy the Catholic Church through
illuminated Masonic intrigue, Jesuits were not likely to have used illuminated Freemasonry to
further a popish world conspiracy. Instead, Freemasonry deceptively promotes the idea that a
few Jesuits and Popes were Masons.
Masonic Disinformation: Christian Division
Disinformation is the primary tool used by Freemasonry to destroy all Christianity. It was used in
Weishaupt's day and is still used today to achieve four goals: (1) to entice Christians to join the
Masonic Lodge; (2) to pit Protestants against Catholics; (3) to destroy the credibility of any anti
Masonic publication; and (4) to discredit clergy in the eyes of the populace. We will examine a
few examples in this order.
Christians in Freemasonry
Freemasonry has fabricated stories that some Popes joined the Masonic Order. Although the
Popes have condemned Freemasonry almost without interruption and, until recently, have
forbidden Catholics to join the Order, Masons have used this lie to entice Catholics into
membership. For example, the story circulated about 1884 of Pope Pius Ix (1846-1878) seems to
comply with the Masonic blueprint of spreading lies for the express purpose of enticing
Catholics to reconsider the "virtues" of Freemasonry. The Masons on the continent of Europe
believed that by placing the supposed initiation of a pope in America, their lies might escape
investigation. The Most Reverend Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez, Archbishop of Santiago, Chile
tells the story:
The statement that there have been Popes who were Masons has been one of the most
despicable inventions which has occurred in Masonry to mislead and deceive ignorant and
simple Catholics.... They declared positively that Pius Ix had been received into a certain
Masonic lodge in Philadelphia, they quoted their discourses and declared that several of his
autographs were kept in this lodge.... The claim was investigated and it was found that in
that city, there is no Masonic lodge of the name given.... Masons themselves testified that the
entire matter was merely an invention. The calumny thus refuted has been revived from time
to time, and in the last version care was taken not to specify the lodge or the city. To make it
more credible they have placed on the photograph of a Mason with insignias, the head of the
Pope, cut from his portrait and substituted in place of the Mason ~
Protestants against Catholics
A decade later in 1894, in order to agitate Protestants, Masonic disinformation was directed once
188
again against the Catholic Church in the United States. The organization used to spread the
disinformation was the American Protective Association (APA), founded on March 13, 1887, at
Clinton, Iowa, by Henry Francis Bowers, an enthusiastic 32nd degree Mason. Bowers insisted
that America was founded by Masons against the wishes of Rome. He considered the APA an
offspring of Masonry, "'protecting the republican institutions the Masons had established ~ In
1894 Century Magazine exposed Bowers as a fraud. Paul Fisher, in Behind The Lodge Door,
outlines the origin and spread of the calumny:
Century Magazine told how the APA circulated a false encyclical of Pope Leo XIII, which
purported to assert that the United States belongs to him, and that U.S. citizens are absolved
from their oath of allegiance to their country.
The false document also said the Pope was to take "forcible possession" of the United States,
and "it will be the duty of the faithful to exterminate all heretics found within the jurisdiction
of the United States." [Emphasis in original.]
That document and similar false statements relating to the Church, including a variety of
alleged "oaths of papal leaders and garbled extracts of Catholic writings," were "used as
campaign literature all over the land, in all manner of publications, and.. .their genuineness
has been editorially asserted and defended in the organs of the [Masonic] order."
Additionally there were tales of consignments of arms being sent to rectories all over the
country, as Catholics drilled for war preparations in the basements of their churches. Yet, not
a single instance of such wild imaginings, presented as facts, were ever corroborated.50
Although long since proven to be a fabrication of Masonry, this anti-Catholic propaganda lasted
for half a century. Those of voting age during the presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy can
remember widespread anti-Catholic sentiment. Even to this day a good part of Protestant
Christendom assails Catholics.
Another Masonic sect that spreads disinformation to further divide Protestants and Catholics was
the reorganized Ku Klux Klan founded in 1915 by Royal Arch Mason, Colonel William
Simmons.51 Simmons was an ardent admirer of the Ku Klux Klan of post Civil War days (1866
1869). Again, according to Paul Fisher, the reorganized Klan's viewpoint was strikingly similar
to the philosophy of the APA of previous periods.52 He notes, for example, that "most of the
Klan's major leaders were Freemasons." Fisher then documents his claim by naming them on the
next two pages.53 By 1924 - 1,125,000 Masons were members of the KKK. One of the most
prominent Klansman was 33rd degree Mason, Justice Hugo Black of the Supreme Court.54
Since so many Masons in the South were Klansmen, Masonic bigotry was transferred to the
Klan. In those days the requirement to join the Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry was that
you must be born free (which excluded blacks), born white, (which excluded blacks), be
Protestant (which excluded Catholics), and be 21 years of age.
189
Like Freemasonry, the Klan not only hated blacks, it hated Catholics. Therefore, to incite the
Protestants against the Catholics, a Masonic member of the Klan wrote and published the so
called oath taken by 4th degree members of the Catholic Knights of Columbus. The bogus oath
stated that "'the Pope.. .hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, States, Commonwealths
and Governments, and they may be safely destroyed...."' The oath further stated that the Knights
would also "wage war 'secretly' using 'the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the
poniard, or the leaden bullet...."' Should the Knight prove false, the fake oath says he agrees to
"have his brethern [sic] 'cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly
opened and sulphur burned therein....'"55
Although a New York World three-month investigation proved the oath false (see September 6,
1921 issue) ,56 this Masonic disinformation accomplished what it had set out to achieve. United
States Protestants, who were already possessed of an anti-Catholic bias in the first colonial
settlements, had been agitated by Freemasonry to oppose Catholicism at every level. This
extended even to the 1960 presidential candidacy of John R Kennedy. His assassination, as we
shall learn in Volume m of Scarlet and the Beast, was plotted by Freemasons.
After the 1960s Freemasonry ceased its war against Catholics and turned against fundamentalist
and evangelical Protestants. What happened to cause this shift? - the Second Vatican Council,
which permitted Catholics to join Freemasonry. Then, and only then, did the Brotherhood cease
its war against the Roman Church, turning instead its efforts toward evangelical and
fundamentalist Protestant Christianity.
Coincidence? Not at all. The strategy was calculated, for such a plan has been in Masonic
writings for over a century. Italian Freemasonry wrote over 150 years ago: "'Our final aim is that
of Voltaire and of the French Revolution, - the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and
ultimately of (all) Christianity."'(See footnote 17.)
Anti-Masonic Publications
Masonry also uses disinformation against itself. For what reason? To create outside sensational
reports that can later be proven wrong. The motive is to create doubt in the mind of the populace
about anything negative said in print about Freemasonry. The late British journalist Stephen
Knight discovered this in the 1980s while researching for his book, The Brotherhood:
[T]he investigator has to face the problem of organized secrecy and "disinformation".
This latter can be crass and easily spotted, like the information passed to me covertly by a
high-ranking Freemason posing as a nark, which said that at a certain degree a Candidate
was required to defecate on a crucifix. This absurd sort of tactic is aimed at the gullible anti
Mason who is on the lookout for scandal and sensation, and who will believe anything that
shows the Brotherhood in an unfavorable light. Such writers do exist, and in some number as
I have had to prepare the report. These are the people who repeat what they are told without
190
checking on facts and sources, and who ignore all evidence which runs counter to their own
argument. And it is they who fall for the kind of disinformation tactic which several
Freemasons attempted to practice on me.57
Discrediting the Clergy
Finally, the most effective disinformation is meant to discredit the clergy in the eyes of the
populace. Italian Grand Orient Freemasonry explained the tactic in the early 1800s:
Little can be done with old Cardinals and with prelates of decided character. Such
incorrigibles must be left to the school of Gonsalve, and in our magazines of popularity and
unpopularity, we must find the means to utilize, or ridicule power in their hands. A well
invented report must be spread with tact amongst good Christian families: such a Cardinal
for instance, is a miser; such a prelate is licentious; such an official is a freethinker, an
infidel, a Freemason, and so on in the same strain. These things will spread quickly to the
cafes, thence to the squares, and one report is sometimes enough to ruin a man.
The foreign newspapers will learn and copy these facts which they will know how to embellish
and colour according to their usual style.
For respect due to truth show, or better still, quote from some respectable fool as having
quoted the number of the journal which has given the names, acts and doings of these
personages. As in England and in France, so also in Italy there will be no lack of writers who
well know how to tell lies for the good cause, and have no difficulty in doing so. One
newspaper publishing the name of a Monsignor Delegate, His Excellency, or Eminence, or
Lord Justice, will be quite sufficient proof for the people; they will require no other.58
If spreading lies about the morality of notable Christians was Masonic practice 150 years ago, it
is unfortunate that today so-called Christians, including television evangelists, often create their
own scandals.
In reference to one of the evangelists, the author asked a private investigator to find out if
Freemasonry was involved. The investigator is a York Rite Mason and a Shriner on the security
staff of this unfortunate world-renowned minister. The author has greeted this investigator
several times with a Masonic handshake and has received Masonic information in return. The
investigator said that when he personally polygraphed the woman involved, she failed the
polygraph. The investigator believes that she was a plant. He said, "What the news reported and
what actually took place are poles apart." On the question of the involvement of Freemasonry, he
would not say.
A more recent story, widely spread, is that Billy Graham is a 33rd degree Mason.59As absurd as
this might sound, we must look at the circumstances surrounding this accusation to determine if
the rumor is Masonic disinformation. The accusation was made by Rev. Jim Shaw. Shaw, giving
191
his Christian testimony on cassette tape, claims that Billy Graham was present at his 33rd degree
initiation ceremony.~ If true, Graham is in fact a 33rd degree Mason, since by Masonic law no
profane person (meaning non-Mason), nor any Mason below the rank of the initiated, can be
present during initiation ceremonies.
Shaw offers the names of a few more who were present at his 33rd degree initiation, among them
J. Edgar Hoover, Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands and a President of the United States
(which was probably Gerald Ford). Shaw is an honorable man, a man who would not lie, a man
who would tell exactly what he thought he saw.
If we consider what happened to Jim Shaw two weeks before he was initiated into the 33rd
degree, Billy Graham's appearance at his initiation might well have been a disguise - intended for
the effect. Shaw says he was led to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ just two weeks before his
initiation. But since he had worked nineteen years for this prestigious position, he felt he had to
go through with his initiation. Beforehand, however, the Masonic community had learned that
Shaw had become a Christian. At his initiation the Supreme Council asked him if the rumor were
true. Shaw affirmed that it was, and proceeded to witness Jesus Christ to the leading men of the
world. Then "Billy Graham" entered the room.
If we consider that a hundred years ago, in order to deceive Catholics into joining Freemasonry,
a picture of the Pope's head was superimposed on the portrait of a Mason dressed in his Masonic
regalia - and if two hundred years ago Charles Radcliffe, the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion,
disguised himself as Prince Charles Edward Stuart during a Masonic initiation to make the
initiate believe the Pretender King presided over his initiation, we can readily understand why
Free-masonry would disguise a Mason to look like Billy Graham to deceive Jim Shaw. By doing
so they hoped that Shaw would stay in Freemasonry.
Masonic initiations are conducted in dimly-lit rooms. Consider the advanced technology of
makeup artistry today, the deceptive mirrors used by magicians, and impersonators and
impressionists who can look and sound identical to the real celebrity or dignitary. With all these
possibilities, Rev. Shaw could well have seen and heard a "Billy Graham" impersonator. We
should not be surprised at such a stunt pulled by Freemasonry. It is designed to throw the
Christian community into turmoil. A hundred years ago Italian Grand Orient Freemasonry
planned such a program for the destruction of the church.
The Half-Truth
Another example of disinformation is Masonic half-truth. Recently the author received a
Masonic brochure listing some of the prominent Masons in the United States. Astronaut Jim
Irwin was on the list. This declaration puzzled the author, since he had heard Irwin's Christian
testimony. During the summer of 1989, the author had the privilege of shuttling Irwin to and
from an airport. For three days he was Irwin's escort, getting to know how much this moon
192
walker loved the Lord Jesus Christ. En route back to the airport the author asked Irwin his
opinion of Freemasonry. The conversation went something like this:
Irwin: "I think it is a deceptive tool of Satan."
Author: "Then you have renounced Freemasonry?"
Irwin: "How did you know I was ever a Mason?"
When the author told Irwin about the Masonic brochure Irwin said, "I was unaware they were
still using my name. I renounced Freemasonry years ago."61
Weishaupt and Disinformation
Disinformation to divide Christianity is not a Johnny-come-lately policy of Freemasonry. In
1776 it was the primary tool employed by Weishaupt in his war against the Church. Taking
advantage of the preexisting animosity between Protestants and Catholics, and the recent
suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, Weishaupt was able to pit Christians against one another. He
used Jesuits to write liberal sentiments for the purpose of inciting the Protestants and fed the
Protestants lies about the Jesuits on the assumption that Protestants would believe him since he
was once a Jesuit himself.
In his disinformation campaign against Catholics, Weishaupt learned of one Leuchtsenring, a
hot-headed, Protestant fanatic, who spied Jesuits in every corner. During the Jesuit suppression,
Weishaupt introduced Leuchtsenring to Freemason Christoph Friedrich Nikolai (1733-1811), a
German bookseller who delighted in bringing Christianity still lower in the opinion of the people
by publishing anti-Christian literature. When the union between the two men was made,
Weishaupt stood back and watched Leuchtsenring send Nikolai throughout Germany to hunt
down Jesuits for exposure in his publications. When Nikolai discovered that Jesuits were equally
hated by the Illuminati, Weishaupt gained a most zealous and unwearied champion.62
Before Nikolai joined the Illuminati he was an intimate of the Frankist Jew, Moses Mendelssohn,
who lived in Nikolai's house from 1762 till the day he died. Nikolai had encouraged
Mendelssohn to translate into German Plato's Republic.63 Republican ideals were then brought
into the Illuminati. Weishaupt planned to adopt this form of government following the French
Revolution.
Later Nikolai helped Weishaupt design the symbols taught in Illuminism after the fashion of
Rosicrucian Masonry. Nikolai then set out to preach that the Illuminati was a Christian Order and
he won many Protestants to its ranks.~ Salem Kirban quotes Weishaupt gloating over his
successes in a letter to Illuminatus Cato:
The most admirable thing of all is that great Protestant and reformed theologians [Lutherans
and Calvinists] who belong to our Order really believe they see in it the true and genuine
mind of the Christian religion. Oh man, what can not you be brought to believe?
193
These people swell our numbers and fill our treasury; get busy and make these people nibble
at our bait.. .but do not tell them our secrets. They must be made to believe that the low
degree that they have reached is the highest.65
Weishaupt employed two opposition Masonic Lodges to help him win Protestant clergy as
Illuminati converts. The first was the Strict Observance of Templar rites. The second was Sion's
Rosicrucian Martinists. Nesta Webster tells the story:
The first Masonic body with which the Illuminati formed an alliance was the Stricte
Observance, to which the Illuminati Knigge and Bode both belonged. Cagliostro had also
been initiated into the Stricte Observance near Frankfurt and was now employed as agent of
the combined order. According to his own confession his mission "was to work so as to turn
Freemasonry in the direction of Weishaupt's projects"; and the funds he drew upon were
those of the Illuminati. Cagliostro also formed a link with the Martinistes, whose doctrines,
though derided by Weishaupt, were useful to his plan in attracting by their mystical character
those who would have been repelled by the cynicism of the Illuminati. According to Barruel, it
was the Martinistes who - following in the footsteps of the Rosicrucians - had suggested to
Weishaupt the device of presenting Christ as an "Illuminatus" which had led to such
triumphant results amongst the Protestant clergy.66
The Protestant theologians' hatred toward Catholicism was so intense that once they were
deceived by the lies of the Illuminati, they were deceived forever.
The undertow of Satan is visible as he manipulates events in order to complete the wicked design
he has implanted in the minds of degenerate men. Prior to the French Revolution, Weishaupt was
Satan's primary tool to destroy both the Church and the Jesuit power. The vacillating decisions of
Popes, one suppressing the Jesuits, the other reinstating them, as irrational as they may seem to
us, were brilliant maneuvers by Satan. It gave illuminated Freemasonry the opportunity to
penetrate the Vatican. It also allowed Masonic entry into secular education, for all Jesuit
Academies had been shut down. Moreover, the political positions held by the Jesuits as "King's
Confessors" (advisors to royalty) were replaced after 1773 by Illuminated Masons. They remain
in these governmental positions in all free nations to this day.

Aryan (/ˈɛəriən/), or Arya (borrowed from Sanskrit ārya),[1] is a term originating from the ethno-cultural self-designation of the Indo-Iranians.[2][3] It stood in contrast to nearby outsiders, whom they designated as non-Aryan (*an-āryā).[4] In ancient India, the term was used by the Indo-Aryan peoples of the Vedic period, both as an endonym and in reference to a region called Aryavarta (lit. 'Land of the Aryans'),[a] where their culture emerged.[5] Similarly, according to the Avesta, the Iranian peoples used the term to designate themselves as an ethnic group and to refer to a region called Airyanem Vaejah (lit. 'Expanse of the Arya'),[b] which was their mythical homeland.[6][7] The word stem also forms the etymological source of place names like Alania (*Aryāna) and Iran (*Aryānām).[8]

Youree Dell Harris (August 12, 1962 – July 26, 2016) was an American television personality and actress best known for portraying Miss Cleo, a spokeswoman for the psychic pay-per-call-minute service Psychic Readers Network, in a series of television commercials that aired from 1997 to 2003.[2] Harris used various aliases, including Ree Perris, Youree Cleomili, Youree Perris, Rae Dell Harris, Cleomili Perris Youree, and Cleomili Harris.[3]
Early life
Youree Harris was born on August 12, 1962,[4] at Los Angeles County Hospital to Alisa Teresa Hopis[5] and David Harris.[6] She attended, as a boarder, Ramona Convent Secondary School,[7] a Catholic girls' school in Alhambra, California.[5][8]
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Dorothy Parvaz reported that University of Southern California found no records that Harris had enrolled for four classes in 1980, as reported by People magazine.[3][9][10]
Career
Seattle
In 1996, Harris as "Ree Perris", wrote a play entitled For Women Only, playing a Jamaican woman named "Cleo", in Seattle.[3]
In 1997, Harris as "Ree Perris", produced and performed two plays with the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center in Seattle, Summer Rhapsody and Supper Club Cafe.[3]
Her last project, Supper Club Cafe in 1997, was not successful, and she "left town with a trail of debts and broken promises", according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.[3] Some of the cast of her productions claimed that they were never paid, and that Harris "told her cast members she had bone cancer" and "her medical costs would prevent her from paying people immediately", but she wrote each actor and crew member a letter telling him or her how much money she owed them.[3]
Psychic Readers Network
In January 1993,[11] Steven Feder and Peter Stolz (sometimes spelled: Stotz[5] Stoltz[12] Stolz[13]) started Psychic Advisors Network,[11] launched to compete with Psychic Friends Network using Philip Michael Thomas,[11] Billy Dee Williams[11] and Catherine Oxenberg.[14]
In 1997, Harris moved to Florida, met Steven Feder and Peter Stolz, Fort Lauderdale cousins behind Access Resource Services,[15] doing business as Psychic Readers Network and took a call-taker job as reader No. 16153.[16][15] Harris was using the Jamaican accent when she moved to Florida and began working as a tarot-reading psychic for a telemarketing center.[9] Harris was approached by Access Resource Services while working at an event in a Pompano Beach, Florida, mall and agreed to appear in an ad in 2000.[9] As one employee of the Psychic Readers Network was told during training:
"the whole point was two things: keeping people on the phone as long as possible...and...telling people what they wanted to hear"[17]
In the late 1990s, Harris began work for the Psychic Readers Network under the name Cleo. She appeared as a television infomercial psychic in which she claimed to be a shaman from Jamaica.[8][18] Her employers' website also stated that Harris had been born in Trelawny, Jamaica, and grown up there.[6]
The network used the title "Miss Cleo" and sent unsolicited emails,[19] some of which stated, "[Miss Cleo has] been authorized to issue you a Special Tarot Reading!... it is vital that you call immediately!" Charges of deceptive advertising and of fraud on the part of the network began to surface around this time.[20] Among the complaints were allegations that calls to Miss Cleo were answered by her "associates" who were actors reading from scripts, and that calls promoted as "free" were in fact charged for.[8][21]
A tie-in book, Keepin' It Real: A Practical Guide for Spiritual Living appeared in 2001. Its authorship was attributed to Miss Cleo.[22][23]
In 2001, Access Resource Services,[6] doing business as Psychic Readers Network, was sued in various lawsuits originating in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,[24] Missouri,[25][26] New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida and elsewhere, as well as the Federal Communications Commission,[27][28]
In 2002, the Federal Trade Commission charged the company's owners and Harris' promoters, Steven Feder and Peter Stolz, with deceptive advertising, billing, and collection practices; Harris was not indicted.[29] The network had billed its victims for an estimated $1 billion.[28] Her promoters agreed to settle by paying a $5 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission, as well a combined debt forgiveness and refund checks to callers which came to a monumental $500 million.[30][28] It emerged during a lawsuit in Florida that Harris had been born in Los Angeles, and that her parents were American citizens.[28]
The state of Florida also sued Harris under a provision of the law that allowed spokespeople to be held liable. Dave Aronberg of the Florida Attorney General’s Office led the state’s case against her. His successor dropped the charges.[16]
After Psychic Readers Network
On July 11, 2001, Harris started a company, Waghwaan Entertainment.[7][31]
Harris voiced the character of Auntie Poulet in the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.[32][33]
In 2003, the New York Daily News reported that TV music network Fuse had signed Harris as a spokeswoman.[34] In early 2005, Harris was reportedly appearing on television as Miss Cleo in advertisements for a used car dealership in Florida, according to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.[35]
Harris offered "readings", priced from $75 to $250, and "weddings", priced from $350 and up.[36] Harris had a podcast.[37]
In September 2007, Harris released a spoken-word CD, Convicted for My Beliefs.[38]
Under the name Cleomili Harris she spoke, from Toronto,[39] about her experiences at the Psychic Readers Network in the 2014 documentary Hotline, which focuses on the history of telephone hotlines.[39][22][40][41]
Psychic Readers Network's "Miss Cleo" lawsuits
In 2015, as Miss Cleo, Harris appeared in a series of advertisements for the General Mills breakfast cereal French Toast Crunch. The Psychic Readers Network sued on the basis that they owned the character of Miss Cleo. The advertisements were discontinued.[21]
The Psychic Readers Network sued Benefit Cosmetics, a Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey subsidiary, for using Harris as "Miss Cleo" in a makeup commercial, as the persona's owner.[42][43][44]
Personal life and death
Harris married at age 19, gave birth to a daughter, and divorced at age 21. She had a second daughter while in her late 20s.[8] In 2006, she came out as a lesbian.[8]
Harris developed colorectal cancer, which metastasized. She died under hospice care in Palm Beach, Florida, on July 26, 2016, at the age of 53.[22]
In film
In December 2022, HBO Max released a feature documentary about Harris' life titled Call Me Miss Cleo.[45]
On August 10, 2024, Lifetime Movie Network released the television film Miss Cleo: Her Rise and Fall, starring The Lady of Rage as Harris.[46]

"[And] The True Magic Mirror. This is an emblem of the Soul, which when fully developed will act as a mirror to the
universe wherein may be wisdom and truth.
"Lastly, a complete copy of the private text book, 'Ritualistic Occultism,' which contains the ceremonies as made use of by
the Magi, and four of these ceremonials were made use of by four of the Magi, in the dedication of the Magic Circle.
"When all of this had taken place, the stone was completed and then later in the day the characters were engraved upon
the stone by the Brother who had completed the stone.
"Of the midnight 'Feast to the Gods' and of the morning services which took place in the grove it is not lawful for me to
speak at this time, but it is my sincere prayer that all who are enrolled in the Sacred Schools may some day be present with us
and witness these sublime ceremonies, especially as they are conferred in the Spring of the year. [William Cooper: In the
spring of the year.]
"Arrangements were made by the delegates present, through voluntary contributions, to either buy another large grove, or
if that is found impracticable, to build a much larger Hall in the 'Grove of Osiris' so that advanced ceremonies may be held the
coming Spring at the 69th Convocation of the Rose Cross Order."
[William Cooper]: Now, I'm going to reveal something to you that I've never told you before on this program. I've been
working up to it, and now is the time to tell you before I read from the next section of this book. For then you will understand
what has been happening in the last fifty years, and what is happening now.
[William Cooper]: It was Harry Truman, a 33rd degree Freemason, who signed the United Nations treaty, who pushed
through and signed the United Nations Participation Act. It was also Harry Truman, a 33rd degree Freemason, operating in
concert with Wild Bill Donovan, the head of the OSS, a member of the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights of Malta
and of the Order of the Knights Templar, who created the National Security Act -- pushed it through congress. Harry Truman
signed it. It created the umbrella of national security, a curtain of secrecy.
[William Cooper]: It created the Central Intelligence Agency. And behind this curtain of secrecy, the secret societies have
186
been working to destroy the sovereignty of all nations and bring about a one-world, totalitarian, Socialist government. And,
folks, all of the bugaboo enemies that you've been afraid of all your life were never enemies at all. For these were deceptions,
manipulations. The only enemy, folks, that the people of the world have ever had is right here. Right here in this country,
down at the corner in your town in the temple that has no windows.
[William Cooper]: And, now, reading again from the book: The Report from the 68th Convocation Of the Rose Cross
Order, Introduction to the Great Seal:
"It is rather a strange and an unknown thing for one to write an introduction to a single chapter appearing in a book, but
the conditions are so unusual as to warrant it.
"More than a year ago, Grace K. Morey, the author of the article, 'The Great Seal of the United States and Its Mystic
Significance,' prepared a sketch for a short primer of the Illuminati teachings, and in this sketch, as will be shown by the
drawings, it was brought out that man is not only a threefold being, but that he is actually a four-fold being as well. In short,
that when he has succeeded in reaching Soul Illumination, he is the completed Pyramid or true Triangle.
"If the student will give serious study to the article on the Seal of the United States, he will find that on the reverse side of
the seal which is as yet uncut, there is to be found the Pyramid, but with the capstone as yet not placed, and thus he will see
that the Philosophy of the Illuminati is the absolute and undeniable Philosophy upon which these United States are founded
as is clearly indicated by our four-fold philosophy, by the drawings representing our Philosophy, and by the drawings of the
reverse side of the United States seal.
"And thus it would appear that the Unseen Hierarchies which shaped the foundation of the great Republic which must
some day rule the world, are the same Hierarchies which gave us the Soul Science Philosophy as taught by the Illuminati."
[William Cooper]: And, now, you know why what has happened in this country has happened, and you know why what is
happening today is happening. And you now know why, on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, are the words
Novus Ordo Seclorum, which, literally translated, means "The New Order of the Ages" (also known as "The New World
Order), but I won't let you rest with that shock.
[William Cooper]: Listen to this, dear listeners. Hold on to your chairs, because the incredible admission that is coming
to you right out of the pages of this book is going to knock you flat. Reading again from the book:
"And thus it would appear that the Unseen Hierarchies which shaped the foundation of the great Republic which must
some day rule the world, are the same Hierarchies which gave us the Soul Science Philosophy as taught by the Illuminati.
"And now let us look into the future, not far, but just beyond the line. We find that scholars condemn the design of the
reverse side of the United States Seal, that it has never been cut but has remained hidden as though it were something to be
ashamed of.
"However, though this appears the truth, it is not the truth. The reason why it has never been cut is because the time is
not yet as the cap-stone has not yet been set.
"And what is this cap-stone? My reader, prepare for a shock.
"When Atlantis ruled the word, that which is now America was connected with Egypt by what is now Mexico, and in
Mexico, in the territory of Yucatan, there is a Pyramid in which the Fire Philosophers worshiped God as Divine Fire and Life
in like manner as did the Initiates of Egypt, for the two were then one.
"America is not complete, and will not be complete, cannot be complete, until Mexico is again part of America as she was
in the long ago, and when Mexico is once again a part of the United States, then will the cap-stone have been set on the
187
Pyramid and the reverse side of the United States seal will be cut.
"Thus you will see that the Soul Science Primer with its drawings, is but the beginning of the article concerning the Seal
of the United States, while the article on 'Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul' is the finale thereof.
"May it not be long until the Holy Pyramid shall be completed and may it be completed without the shedding of blood.
"Lovingly given, R. Swinburne Clymer. 'Beverly Hall,' Quakertown, Pennsylvania, July 6th, 1916."
[William Cooper]: And, now, you know the final truth, ladies and gentlemen. Now you know the purpose of the free trade
agreements. Now you know the purpose of GATT and NAFTA. Now you know where we're headed. Now you know the
middle class in this country is doomed. Now you know that the New World Order is being brought about by the intelligence
community and the secret societies, whose headquarters are in the United States of America, just thirteen blocks from the
White House. Now you know, in the incredible admissions, in their own writing, in this book, published by the Ancient Order
of the Rose and Cross. Now you know that the Illuminati is real; that Freemasonry is a part of the Illuminati; that the Rose and
Cross is a part of the Illuminati; that they are also called the Order, the Brotherhood; that they also consist of the Knights
Templars; they also consist of the Knights of Malta and all of the other secret societies whose organizational structure is in the
shape of the pyramid, with a few at the top who really know what the Great Work and the Great Plan is. And a whole bunch of
slathering idiots thirsting after the secrets on the bottom, who will never, ever, know anything.
[William Cooper]: Are the cockroaches scattering? If this broadcast doesn't do it nothing will. If this doesn't wake you up,
nothing will. If you don't understand now, the eighteen hours of the series that I've aired on the Mystery Schools, you will
never understand it, now or in the future. If you don't know where we are headed now, then you never will.
[William Cooper]: If you are not concerned now, then you have already placed the chains upon your ankles and you have
already watched freedom fly. If this broadcast does not do it, nothing will. This is the last voice of freedom. This is the only
revelatory media source in the world today. The Hour of the Time is the only outlet for truth left upon this earth.
[William Cooper]: Ladies and gentlemen, what you have heard tonight is the final parting of the curtain. It is the opening
of the last door that was to be opened. It is the final understanding of where we have been, where we are at and where we are
going. It is the light. It is the Illumination in the darkest corners. You are looking at the forbidden fruit. You have heard
tonight what you were never to hear, what has been forbidden for thousands of years. You now know what the Great Work is.
You know who is bringing it about.
[William Cooper]: You, too, can find this book if you search hard enough. And the incredible admissions that are
contained within it will give you the ammunition and the armor to march out here on the battlefield with me, and many
others, who are trying to stop what is coming.
[William Cooper]: Remember what Mr Swinburne said at the end of his article and I'll read that too you again: "May it
not be long until the Holy Pyramid shall be completed and may it be completed without the shedding of blood. Lovingly
given, R. Swinburne Clymer. 'Beverly Hall,' Quakertown, Pennsylvania, July 6th, 1916." And I am telling you now, their goal is
to destroy all other religions save theirs, destroy all existing nation states save theirs, and shackle the mob, and that is you.
Good night, dear listeners, and God bless you all.

Hel, Sarge, and Horst venture to the surface to test new shields against the Baileys. Upon their successful return, it is revealed that Horst is, in fact, a Betrayer. Although they escape, Sarge (Victoria Pratt) is injured, and thus they seek medical attention – and it is there that they meet Cleopatra, an exotic dancer from the 21st century who was cryogenically frozen after a cosmetic surgery operation went wrong. When the Betrayer catches up to them, Hel and Sarge flee the scene, bringing Cleo with them. Eventually, they face the Betrayer one last time, but with Cleo's help, and through the use of technology stolen from the Bailey at the beginning of the episode, it is defeated.

The Burning of Washington, also known as the Capture of Washington, was a successful British amphibious attack conducted by Rear Admiral George Cockburn during Admiral John Warren's Chesapeake campaign. It was the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power had captured and occupied a United States capital. Following the defeat of American forces at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814, a British army led by Major-General Robert Ross marched on Washington, D.C. That evening, British soldiers and sailors set fire to multiple public buildings, including the Presidential Mansion, United States Capitol, and Washington Navy Yard.[5][permanent dead link]

The conspiracy is racist, considering Blacks, Hispanics, and Aboriginal Peoples to be inferior races of useless eaters. They believe or at least profess that the Anglo/Aryan race is the true Israel (British Israel and Christian Identity for the dupes and an Anglophile Secular Humanism for the leaders) and thus the Master race. They have convinced the so-called useless eaters that they are friends, benefactors, and protectors. In the meantime they plan to enslave these poor People under socialism or eliminate them altogether. The Illuminati has convinced them that Karl Marx is their savior, and the sheople follow this Judas goat eagerly.

One God, One Faith, One Spiritual Authority
Pope Boniface VIII - 1302
Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302
Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed.
We venerate this Church as one, the Lord having said by the mouth of the prophet: ‘Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword and my only one from the hand of the dog.’ [Ps 21:20] He has prayed for his soul, that is for himself, heart and body; and this body, that is to say, the Church, He has called one because of the unity of the Spouse, of the faith, of the sacraments, and of the charity of the Church. This is the tunic of the Lord, the seamless tunic, which was not rent but which was cast by lot [Jn 19:23- 24]. Therefore, of the one and only Church there is one body and one head, not two heads like a monster; that is, Christ and the Vicar of Christ, Peter and the successor of Peter, since the Lord speaking to Peter Himself said: ‘Feed my sheep‘ [Jn 21:17], meaning, my sheep in general, not these, nor those in particular, whence we understand that He entrusted all to him [Peter]. Therefore, if the Greeks or others should say that they are not confided to Peter and to his successors, they must confess not being the sheep of Christ, since Our Lord says in John ‘there is one sheepfold and one shepherd.’ We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest.
However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority, subjected to spiritual power. For since the Apostle said: ‘There is no power except from God and the things that are, are ordained of God‘ [Rom 13:1-2], but they would not be ordained if one sword were not subordinated to the other and if the inferior one, as it were, were not led upwards by the other.
For, according to the Blessed Dionysius, it is a law of the divinity that the lowest things reach the highest place by intermediaries. Then, according to the order of the universe, all things are not led back to order equally and immediately, but the lowest by the intermediary, and the inferior by the superior. Hence we must recognize the more clearly that spiritual power surpasses in dignity and in nobility any temporal power whatever, as spiritual things surpass the temporal. This we see very clearly also by the payment, benediction, and consecration of the tithes, but the acceptance of power itself and by the government even of things. For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgement if it has not been good. Thus is accomplished the prophecy of Jeremias concerning the Church and the ecclesiastical power: ‘Behold to-day I have placed you over nations, and over kingdoms‘ and the rest. Therefore, if the terrestrial power err, it will be judged by the spiritual power; but if a minor spiritual power err, it will be judged by a superior spiritual power; but if the highest power of all err, it can be judged only by God, and not by man, according to the testimony of the Apostle: ‘The spiritual man judgeth of all things and he himself is judged by no man‘ [1 Cor 2:15]. This authority, however, (though it has been given to man and is exercised by man), is not human but rather divine, granted to Peter by a divine word and reaffirmed to him (Peter) and his successors by the One Whom Peter confessed, the Lord saying to Peter himself, ‘Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound also in Heaven‘ etc., [Mt 16:19]. Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

Trump meets Zelenskyy during visit to Pope Francis' funeral

VATICAN CITY — President Trump met with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Vatican Saturday morning, right before attending Pope Francis' funeral.
Trump has been working to broker peace talks to try to end Russia's war in Ukraine. His last meeting with Zelenskyy in February abruptly ended after they argued in front of television cameras and Trump criticized Zelenskyy for being ungrateful for U.S. aid. The leaders later spoke by phone in March.
Photos released by the Ukrainian government on Saturday showed the leaders in a private one-on-one discussion, as well as speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who have been leading European efforts on a peace agreement.
"Good meeting," Zelenskyy said in a social media post. "Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out."
White House communications director Steven Cheung told reporters that Trump and Zelenskyy "had a very productive discussion" and said more details about the meeting would follow.
Trump and Zelenskyy's meeting comes a day after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Trump aide Keith Kellogg also met this week with Ukrainian and European officials in London.
Late Friday, Trump expressed optimism on social media, saying most major issues had been agreed to and that "the two sides should now meet, at very high levels" to finish a deal.
Trump officials have presented Ukraine and Russia with options for a peace deal. They have not been made public, but Zelenskyy has said one of the ideas — ceding Crimea to Russia — was "against our constitution."
Trump had expressed frustration with Zelenskyy for those comments, saying that Crimea had been effectively lost long ago and should not be the deal-breaker. He also said he was "not happy" about Russian strikes on Kyiv this week.
He repeated his concerns about the timing of Putin's strikes on social media on Saturday. "It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through "Banking" or "Secondary Sanctions?" Trump said in his post.

Arturo Marcelino Sosa Abascal SJ (born 12 November 1948) is a Venezuelan Catholic priest who has served as the 31st superior general of the Society of Jesus since 2016. He was elected by the Society's 36th General Congregation to succeed Adolfo Nicolás. He is the first person born in Latin America to lead the Jesuits.
Early life and education
Arturo Marcelino Sosa Abascal was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on 12 November 1948,[1] the son of Arturo Sosa, Sr. a prestigious businessman who served twice as finance minister in 1958 and 1982.[2] He entered the Society of Jesus in 1966 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1977.[1] He earned a licentiate in philosophy from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in 1972, and a doctorate in political science from the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1990.[3][4]
Priestly ministry
Sosa has held a number of academic appointments. He was a professor and member of the Council of the foundation for the Andrés Bello Catholic University, and rector of the Catholic University of Tachira, both Jesuit universities.[4] He was also the Chair of Contemporary Political Theory and the Department of Social Change at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Venezuela.[4] He published a number of works, mainly about the history and politics of Venezuela. He was also coordinator of the social apostolate and director of Centro Gumilla in Venezuela, a centre of research and social action for the Jesuits in Venezuela,[4] as well as editor-in-chief of Revista SIC magazine for Catholic social ethics and politics from 1976 to 1996.[5] In 2004, he was professor of Venezuelan political thinking at the Catholic University of Tachira and was invited to Georgetown University Center for Latin American Studies as a visiting professor to give a lecture.[6]
Between 1996 and 2004, Sosa was Provincial Superior of the Jesuits in Venezuela.[4] During the 35th General Congregation in 2008, he was appointed Counselor General by then-Superior General Adolfo Nicolás.[4] In 2014, he joined the General Curia of the Society of Jesus in Rome as Delegate for Interprovincial Roman Houses of the Society of Jesus in Rome, which include institutions such as the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Pontifical Biblical Institute, the Pontifical Oriental Institute, the Vatican Observatory, and La Civiltà Cattolica.[4][7]
Sosa speaks Spanish, Italian and English, and understands French.[4]
Superior General of the Society of Jesus
On 14 October 2016, during the thirty-sixth General Congregation of the Society of Jesus, the assembly elected Sosa as the Order's thirty-first Superior General to succeed Adolfo Nicolás.[6] He became the first Latin American to head the Jesuits.[8] In his first address as Superior General, he said that Jesuits should look for "alternatives to overcome poverty, inequality and oppression" and also to collaborate with others "inside and outside the Church".[9]
In 2017, in a visit to the Jesuit mission in Cambodia, Sosa met with a group of Buddhist monks in the Buddhist-majority country.[10] In 2018, commenting on the Fifteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, Sosa spoke of secularization, saying "What if we try, instead, to look at secularization as a sign of the times, in the theological sense that the Second Vatican Council gave to this expression? It means looking at secularization, and the secular world that arises from it, as one of the ways the Spirit is speaking to us and guiding us in this time."[11]
In February 2019, after guiding Jesuits and their lay collaborators through two years of discernment, Sosa announced four priorities that would guide the Society's decisions for the next decade. These were: teaching discernment through use of the Spiritual Exercises, walking with the poor in their quest for dignity and justice, accompany young people in the creation of a hope-filled future, and collaborating in the care of our Common Home. Pope Francis declared these priorities to be very much in line with those of his pontificate.[12]
Criticism
The Catholic Herald criticised Sosa for being one of over 1,000 signatories of a 1989 letter welcoming Cuban dictator Fidel Castro to Venezuela in 1989, Castro having repressed the Catholic Church in Cuba during his time in power.[13] George Neumayr of the conservative American Spectator described Sosa as a "Marxist", "a Venezuelan communist, and modernist".[14]
In February 2017, in response to Cardinal Müller's argument that permitting the reception of Communion by the remarried contradicts Jesus's words in the Bible that marriage is indissoluble and Müller's insistence that those words are unchangeable, Sosa argued for a "reflection on what Jesus really said", and described the Gospel as "relative", being "written by human beings" and "accepted by [...] human beings". Sosa also argued that the doctrine of the Church is in "continuous development", and "never in white and black".[15] Sosa's remarks drew criticism in the Italian media.[16]
The English priest and consulting editor of The Catholic Herald Alexander Lucie-Smith disagreed with Sosa, arguing that the Church's teaching on the indissolubility of marriage has been historically consistent, and that there was no precedent set in the Bible to interpret these words otherwise.[17] Theologian Chad Pecknold criticised Sosa's views as "reflect[ing] a profound skepticism about Holy Scripture", countering that although a variety of interpretations are allowed, they must "fit with the established doctrine of the Church and do not contradict the deposit of the Faith". Contradicting Sosa's own claim that his views were "not relativism",[15] Pecknold characterised Sosa's remarks as "historicist relativizing".[18]
Catholic author Vittorio Messori accused Sosa of "'liquefying' the Gospel itself" by suggesting that the Gospel should be adapted according to the times on the basis that Jesus's words were not recorded verbatim or "on tape".[19]
In June 2017, in an interview with El Mundo, Sosa said, "We have formed symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil. Social conditioning can also represent this figure, since there are people who act [in an evil way] because they are in an environment where it is difficult to act to the contrary". This was criticised as contradicting the Catechism of the Catholic Church which teaches that the Devil is a real creature.[20] A spokesman for Sosa later argued that Sosa was not denying church teaching, saying, "to say the devil symbolizes evil is not to deny the existence of the devil."[21] On 21 August 2019, Sosa declared in an interview that the Devil "exists as the personification of evil in different structures, but not in persons, because [he] is not a person, [he] is a way of acting evil. He is not a person like a human person. It is a way of evil to be present in human life. [...] Good and evil are in a permanent war in the human conscience and we have ways to point them out. We recognize God as good, fully good. Symbols are part of reality, and the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality." The Catholic World Report criticized these declarations, saying they were contrary to the catechism, and reminded of the controversy of the June 2017 statement of Sosa concerning the Devil.[22]
In October 2018, in an interview with Eternal Word Television Network, Sosa argued that "the pope is not the chief of the Church, he's the Bishop of Rome". This was opposed by Chad Pecknold, Associate Professor of Theology at the Catholic University of America, who argued that it would be wrong to believe that Pope was "merely 'first among equals'", and insisted that the pope has "supreme authority" over all bishops and the faithful.[23]
Publications
Sosa has authored about a dozen books on politics and on the history of Venezuela, including:

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Imposes Tariffs on Imports from Canada, Mexico and China
The White House
February 1, 2025
ADDRESSING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION: The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Until the crisis is alleviated, President Donald J. Trump is implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff.
President Trump is taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.
The orders make clear that the flow of contraband drugs like fentanyl to the United States, through illicit distribution networks, has created a national emergency, including a public health crisis. Chinese officials have failed to take the actions necessary to stem the flow of precursor chemicals to known criminal cartels and shut down money laundering by transnational criminal organizations.
In addition, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico. The government of Mexico has afforded safe havens for the cartels to engage in the manufacturing and transportation of dangerous narcotics, which collectively have led to the overdose deaths of hundreds of thousands of American victims. This alliance endangers the national security of the United States, and we must eradicate the influence of these dangerous cartels.
There is also a growing presence of Mexican cartels operating fentanyl and nitazene synthesis labs in Canada. A recent study recognized Canada’s heightened domestic production of fentanyl, and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution
USING OUR LEVERAGE TO ENSURE AMERICANS’ SAFETY: Previous Administrations failed to fully leverage America’s economic position as a tool to secure our borders against illegal migration and combat the scourge of fentanyl, preferring to let problems fester.
Access to the American market is a privilege. The United States has one of the most open economies in the world, and the lowest average tariff rates in the world.
While trade accounts for 67% of Canada’s GDP, 73% of Mexico’s GDP, and 37% of China’s GDP, it accounts for only 24% of U.S. GDP. However, in 2023 the U.S. trade deficit in goods was the world’s largest at over $1 trillion.
Tariffs are a powerful, proven source of leverage for protecting the national interest. President Trump is using the tools at hand and taking decisive action that puts Americans’ safety and our national security first.
Though previous Administrations have failed to leverage America’s combination of exceptional strength and its unique role in world trade to advance the security interests of the American people, President Trump has not.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO STOP THE FLOOD OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DRUGS: When voters overwhelmingly elected Donald J. Trump as President, they gave him a mandate to seal the border. That is exactly what he is doing.
The Biden Administration’s policies have fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.
More than 10 million illegal aliens attempted to enter the United States under Biden’s leadership, including a rising number of Chinese nationals and people on the terror watchlist.
This problem is not confined to the southern border – encounters at the northern border with Canada are rising as well.
The sustained influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every aspect of our national life – overwhelming our schools, lowering our wages, reducing our housing supply and raising rents, overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and causing crime.
Gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds are pouring across our borders and into our communities.
Last fiscal year, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended more than 21,000 pounds of fentanyl at our borders, enough fentanyl to kill more than 4 billion people.
It is estimated that federal officials are only able to seize a fraction of the fentanyl smuggled across the southern border.
These drugs kill tens of thousands of Americans each year, including 75,000 deaths per year attributed to fentanyl alone.
More Americans are dying from fentanyl overdoses each year than the number of American lives lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War.
BUILDING ON PAST SUCCESS: President Trump continues to demonstrate his commitment to ensuring U.S. trade policy serves the national interest.
As President Trump said in the Presidential Memorandum on American First Trade Policy, trade policy is a critical component in national security.
President Trump promised in November to “sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”
During his first term as President of the United States, President Trump established the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis and declared the Opioid Crisis a public health emergency.
President Trump also has a long record of putting America first on trade. In his first term, President Trump successfully used threats of tariffs on Mexico to help secure our border.
When our national security was threatened by a global oversupply of steel and aluminum, President Trump took swift action to protect America’s national security by implementing tariffs on imports of these goods.
In response to China’s intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer, and other unreasonable behavior, President Trump acted with conviction to impose tariffs on imports from China, using that leverage to reach a historic bilateral economic agreement.
Just last week, President Trump leveraged tariffs to successfully resolve national security concerns with Colombia, swiftly reaching an outcome that prioritizes the safety and security of the American people and the sanctity of our national borders.

Ahead of World Youth Day, the head of the Jesuits had a candid Q&A with six young pilgrims

On the feast of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, Arturo Sosa, S.J, the superior general of the order, had a candid, live-streamed conversation with six young pilgrims representing diverse continents and socio-economic backgrounds. The discussion took place on Monday, July 31, during MAGIS 2023, the Jesuits’ pre-World Youth Day program for people aged 18 to 35. Each of the six participants had the opportunity to ask Father Sosa a question about the church and the world.
Elijah, a pilgrim from the United States, was the first to pose a question. He wanted to know how he could live his Catholic faith as a young person and a recently confirmed Catholic, to “illuminate his path forward.”
“To be a Catholic is to be in a personal relationship with the Lord—with Jesus, when recognizing him as the Lord,” Father Sosa replied. “Catholicism is not a doctrine. It’s a faith. The only principle is to follow Jesus. And to follow Jesus, we need to be in touch with him. We need to be, as [St. Ignatius] said, in familiarity; to develop that familiarity through prayer, through service to the other is what really gets you in the Catholic faith.”
The next question posed to the superior general zeroed in on the role of the Jesuits and their apostolic preference for working with young people and to encourage them to be “creators of a hope-filled future,” as the MAGIS 2023 theme suggests.
“I wonder if those who are not called to a religious vocation can have a role, too,” Sofia, a young woman from Portugal, put to Father Sosa. “How can we empower this group of people?” She then added a further question: “How can the Society of Jesus provide integral tools and training to those who want to be part of building this future full of hope, even if their life path doesn’t lead to a religious vocation?”
[James Martin, S.J. at World Youth Day: ‘Does God exist?’ and other FAQs about faith and religion]
Responding to the question, Father Sosa drew on the analogy of the body of Christ used in Scripture by St. Paul, reminding pilgrims that the church, like the body, has many parts. “The church is re-imagining itself as the people of God who walk together,” he said. “But the main Christian vocation is to lay life—the majority of God’s people is a lay people.”
“How do we contribute to that?,” Father Sosa asked. “Because vocation comes from God; it is God who calls, not a person who invents. It is not that I propose to do this or that; the Lord calls who he wants, for what he believes can be better for their happiness—for the happiness of each one of us.” Father Sosa then turned to the particular gift that Ignatian spirituality can bring to help people discover their vocation: “What we have to learn is to listen to the call of God…. Ignatian spirituality is a concrete way of perceiving, of listening to the call and of preparing ourselves to make a choice, because the vocation is given by the Lord, but the decision is up to each one of us.”
Next to address the general was Jonathan from Austria. Noting the distraction that social media and the digital world brings to the life of young people, he asked: “I wonder how we can, through faith and God, refocus on what is truly important? How can we reawaken our senses to see and hear the needs of those around us?”
“First of all, I want to say that smartphones and technology are a gift of God,” Father Sosa responded. “What is important is that smartphones and all the technology, artificial intelligence, all of that, are instruments.” Father Sosa then shared the wisdom of the former superior general of the Jesuits, Adolfo Nicolás, S.J. “My predecessor used to say that the big danger in this moment of human history is the globalization of superficiality, and that we Christians need to go deeper. We need to go deeper in our life, in the life of everybody, in the life of history, in the life of transforming the social structures, and instruments like technology are good for that.”
Yvonne, a Catholic from Malaysia, commented that in some Asian countries, being Catholic results in persecution. She asked Father Sosa, “When our environment limits our ability to express and share our faith, how do we become a beacon of hope for others?”
“Pope Francis has invited us not only to watch Jesus Christ on the cross but to watch from the cross,” Father Sosa said. “If we really want to follow Jesus, we need to get up on the cross and watch the world and watch history from the eyes of Christ on the cross—and that changes everything. When you are on the cross, you are open to what God wants to do for the world.”
Pope Francis has often described today as the greatest moment of Christian persecution, Father Sosa noted. He cited recent incidents in India where hundreds of churches have been burned and many have died.
“As Christians, we must accustom ourselves to difficulties. The way to true life passes through the cross. You don’t arrive at resurrection without dying,” he said. “What gives us consolation is that [Jesus] is with us. He opened the way. He walked the way until the end and that’s why he rose and he opened up resurrected life to us.”
Bia, a woman from Brazil, said the issue of employment for youth is of critical importance. The dignity of workers touches upon a number of issues, including race and gender. She asked Father Sosa how the church and the Society of Jesus have reflected on this issue.
“It’s not just about neoliberal policies that make the economy grow,” Father Sosa said. “For there to be dignified work for all requires social justice. As long as poverty grows, regardless of how much work is available, there will be exploitation and work that is not dignified for the human person.”
The Society of Jesus understands its mission as “a faith in the Lord that promotes social justice for all,” he said. “The service we want to offer the world is to contribute to changing the social structures to end poverty as the condition of most of the world, to end forced migrations, to end undignified work.”
But these changes, he said, will only come about with a commitment from Catholics to the common good of all humanity. “As long as there are poor people, there is no human dignity,” he said.

Shingirai, a young woman from Zimbabwe, posed the final question to Father Sosa. She expressed concern about the impact of Christianity on African culture, particularly the loss of traditional roots. “What is the church doing to shape the moral fabric of young people?,” she asked, making specific mention of the L.G.B.T.Q. community. She also inquired about the church’s efforts to include people from Africa and Asia in shaping its values and administration.
Father Sosa replied: “Maybe the 20th century and this one, the 21st century, is the moment when the church is getting Catholic. Now is the moment in history when the church is getting real universal; because we now have a multicultural church.”
“Every culture should be converted by the light of the Gospel. To be a Christian or a Catholic is not to acquire a new culture; it is to evangelize the culture where you come from. Christianity is not a culture, it’s a religious faith that illuminates every culture,” he said. “That’s why the big challenge is to become intercultural; from your culture illuminated by the Gospel you get in touch with other cultures and you enrich the other cultures and you get enriched by the others.”
Father General then turned to respond more directly to Shingirai’s concern about the church’s impact on sexual morality across cultures. Catholic moral and theological thought “is always in process,” he said.
“We need to develop from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit how to approach different problems. And that’s why discernment is so important,” he added. “We need to love people, because God loves everyone. God is love. And he takes the initiative of loving everyone; every human being is loved by the Lord. So from there we can really understand and develop our way of relationship and thinking.”
As the one-on-one conversation between young people and the general drew to a close, Mike Martinez, S.J., a Jesuit scholastic and rapper from the United States studying theology in Brazil, who had moderated the conversation, addressed MAGIS pilgrims. “With this energy, I think that Father General might actually have a question now for us,” he said. And with that, the Jesuit superior general left pilgrims with a final task: “What cannot be missing for a future full of hope?”
With that, the general left the stage to prepare for Mass, a dual celebration honoring the feast day of St. Ignatius Loyola and also serving as the conclusion of the MAGIS experience. Later that afternoon, these young people would join hundreds of thousands of other pilgrims already in Lisbon for the start of World Youth Day. The Mass took place on the sports fields of Colégio São João de Brito, and it was attended by over 4,000 people, including both MAGIS pilgrims and individuals associated with the Jesuits in Portugal.
In his homily, Father Sosa used the images of St. Ignatius and the prophet Jeremiah, who was the focus of the first reading, as examples of how God can reach each one of us: “God came to meet Ignatius of Loyola, uprooting him from his dreams and transforming him into a pilgrim toward something new. Amid so much resistance, Jeremiah and Ignatius experience the intimate joy of the encounter.”
Each of those present was called to allow themselves to be open to the journey that God wants for each of us, he said. But this journey cannot be carried out without reflection, as was stressed in the Luke’s Gospel. “Any dream, to be realized,” Father Sosa said, “needs human reflection, dialogue with others and prayer in search of light, to complete the construction of this tower, as St. Ignatius would say when speaking of the religious vocation.”
Father Sosa invited everyone to “fix our eyes on him, so that his eyes may reflect to us the poor and humble Jesus who seduced him to the point of madness. St. Ignatius was a madman for Christ, as the monk of Montserrat called him.”

Trump rally shooter killed by Secret Service sniper, officials say
By Faris Tanyos
Updated on: July 14, 2024 / 10:14 AM EDT / CBS News
A suspected gunman who opened fire during a Trump rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot by a Secret Service sniper, authorities said.
One rally attendee was killed and two more were critically wounded, the Secret Service said in a statement Saturday night.
The suspect was shot and killed by a member of a Secret Service counter-assault team, two law enforcement sources told CBS News.

Multiple law enforcement sources said the gunman was outside of the cordoned-off rally area, about 400 feet from the stage, and was on top of a shed, the two sources said. The shooter was armed with a semiautomatic AR-style rifle, the sources said. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is tracing the weapon.
Several shots rang out while Trump was speaking on stage at about 6:15 p.m. local time. Video showed the former president immediately touch his ear and then crouch to the ground, with his Secret Service agents rushing the stage. Some blood could be seen on his face as he stood up and held up his fist to the crowd. He was rushed out to his motorcade and the Secret Service later confirmed that he was safe.
In a post to his Truth Social platform, Trump said he was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear."
"I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin," he continued.
Authorities are investigating the shooting as an attempted assassination. The FBI said in a statement that it is leading the investigation, with assistance from the Secret Service and state and local agencies.
In a statement early Sunday morning, the FBI identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, which is located just outside Pittsburgh.
In a news conference late Saturday night, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh office, refused to speculate on a possible motive. He disclosed that "there was identification of suspicious packages around where the shooter was, and so we deployed, in an abundance of caution, bomb assets, to make sure those were cleared for investigators."

Rally attendee Ben Macer told CBS Pittsburgh that he saw the suspect "move from roof to roof" and told an officer that the gunman "was on the roof."

"When I turned around to go back to where I was, it was when the gunshots started, and then it was just chaos, and we all came running away, and that was that," Macer said.
Rep. Mike Kelley of Pennsylvania, who was standing backstage watching Trump speak, told CBS News, "I believe a lady who was next to me was hit, other people were hit."
Dr. Jim Sweetland, an emergency room physician who was at the rally and witnessed the shooting, told CBS News by phone that he administered first aid to a man who had sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
"He was shot in the head, his body was twisted around and wedged between two benches that were in the stands," Sweetland said. "He was not breathing, he did not have a pulse. He appeared gravely ill."
With the help of three people, Sweetland said he was able to get the victim onto a bench and then began administering CPR and chest compressions.
"There was a lot of blood that was spilt on the stands where he lay, as well as brain matter," Sweetland said.
Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers then approached, gathered up the victim and took him, presumably to an ambulance, Sweetland said.
Republican Senate candidate David McCormick, who was in the front row of the rally, also saw one person shot.

"It was really hard to tell, there was a lot of blood, so it wasn't clear where the bullet had struck him, and how severe the wound was," McCormick told CBS News. "He looked to be unconscious, but even that's not entirely clear to me."
The shooting comes just two days before the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Trump's motorcade departed Butler Memorial Hospital a little before 9:30 p.m. local time, two sources confirmed to CBS News. Video posted by a Trump aide to social media early Sunday morning showed him deboarding after his plane landed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Prior to the shooting incident, he had been scheduled to travel to his estate in Bedminster, New Jersey, before departing for Milwaukee for the convention.

Armed man shot and killed after entering secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service says

WASHINGTON (AP) — An armed man entered the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, before being shot and killed early Sunday morning, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service.
Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House when the breach occurred around 1:30 a.m.
The man had a gas can and a shotgun, authorities said. Investigators identified him as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin of North Carolina, according to the FBI, and authorities said his family had recently reported him missing.
He’s believed to have purchased his shotgun while driving south, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, and a box for the weapon was later discovered in the man’s vehicle.
Investigators have not identified a motive. However, Trump has faced threats to his life before, including two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign.
The investigation is ongoing
The man entered the north gate of the property as a vehicle was exiting and was confronted by two Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. Martin was on foot and was spotted by the Secret Service entering the gate as it opened for employees to leave, a Secret Service spokesperson said.
“He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with him. At which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position,” Bradshaw said at a brief press conference. The two agents and the deputy “fired their weapons to neutralize the threat.”
The Moore County Sheriff’s Department in North Carolina said a relative of Martin’s reported him missing early Sunday morning.
Investigators are working to compile a psychological profile. Asked whether the man was previously known to law enforcement, Bradshaw said “not right now.”
The FBI encouraged residents who live near Mar-a-Lago to check any security cameras they may have for footage that could help investigators.
In a post on X, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau would be “dedicating all necessary resources” to the investigation.
Martin was described by family as quiet and averse to guns
On Sunday afternoon, vehicles blocked the entrance to a property listed in public records as an address for Martin at the end of a private road in Cameron, North Carolina.
Braeden Fields, Martin’s cousin, reacted with disbelief. He described Martin as quiet, afraid of guns and from a family of avid Trump supporters.
“He’s a good kid,” Fields, 19, said. He said they grew up together. “I wouldn’t believe he would do something like this. It’s mind-blowing,” Fields said.
He said Martin worked at a local golf course and would send money from each paycheck to charity.
“He wouldn’t even hurt an ant. He doesn’t even know how to use a gun,” Fields said.
He said his cousin didn’t discuss politics.
“We are big Trump supporters, all of us. Everybody,” Fields said, but his cousin was “real quiet, never really talked about anything.”
Trump faced two assassination attempts during his last campaign
Sunday’s incursion at Mar-a-Lago took place a few miles from Trump’s West Palm Beach club where a man tried to assassinate him while he played golf during the 2024 campaign.
A Secret Service agent spotted that man, Ryan Routh, aiming a rifle through the shrubbery before Trump came into view. Officials said Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire and caused Routh to drop his weapon.
Routh was found guilty last year and sentenced this month to life in prison.
Trump also survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. That gunman fired eight shots before being killed by a Secret Service counter sniper. One rally attendee was killed by the gunman.
White House brings in shutdown politics
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X that “the United States Secret Service acted quickly and decisively to neutralize a crazy person, armed with a gun and a gas canister, who intruded President Trump’s home.”
Leavitt used her post to blame Democratic lawmakers in Congress for the partial government shutdown affecting the Homeland Security Department, which began Feb. 14 after Democrats demanded changes to the president’s deportation campaign.
The Secret Service is among the agencies where the vast majority of employees are continuing their work but missing a paycheck.
“Federal law enforcement are working 24/7 to keep our country safe and protect all Americans,” Leavitt said. “It’s shameful and reckless that Democrats have chosen to shut down their Department.”
The White House referred all questions to the Secret Service and FBI. Both Trump and his wife posted statements on social media after the incident, but they were unrelated to the shooting.
Numerous recent acts of politically motivated violence
In the past year, there was the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk; the assassination of the Democratic leader in the Minnesota state House and her husband and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife; and an arson attack at the official residence of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
Five days ago, a Georgia man armed with a shotgun was arrested as he sprinted toward the west side of the U.S. Capitol. Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address there on Tuesday night.

The name Austin is derived from the medieval diminutive of Augustine, which itself comes from the Latin name Augustus. The name carries connotations of greatness or magnificence and has historical significance linked to Saint Augustine of Hippo, a pivotal figure in the development of Western Christianity. Thus, Austin symbolizes dignity and respect, reflecting its roots in the Latin language.

Etymology of Arturo
What does the name Arturo mean?
The surname Arturo is an Italian patronymic surname; that is, it was a name created from the first name of the father. Arturo is derived from the Breton given names Artuir and Arthur. This personal name is of very ancient origin and is derived from the Celtic word art, which means bear. The name Arthur is also related to the Greek Arcturus, which means bear or guardian and is the name of the bright star in the constellation Bootes.

The Beast (Koine Greek: Θηρίον, Thērion) may refer to one of three beasts described in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 12-13 describes these three beasts as follows:
The dragon (later revealed in the text to be Satan)[1]
The beast of the sea (commonly interpreted as the Antichrist)[2][3]
The beast of the earth (later revealed in the text to be the False prophet)[4]
However, many people have different beliefs about the meaning of these beasts.
In Revelation 13:1–10, the beast of the sea rises "out of the sea" and is given authority and power by the dragon. It persecutes God's people in the 2nd part of Revelation 13. To buy and sell, everyone is required to have its name or number on their forehead or right hand (Rev 13:16-17). It speaks blasphemous words against God, will rule the world for 42 months (Revelation 13:5-7), and is described as resembling a leopard, a lion, and a bear—which are three of the animals in Daniel 7. It suffers a fatal head wound which is miraculously healed, bewildering the world's population and causing many to worship it.
In Revelation 13:11–18, the beast of the earth, later known as the false prophet, comes "out of the earth," exercises all the authority of the Sea Beast, forces everyone on earth to worship the Sea Beast, and convinces the people, through signs and wonders, to make an image of the Sea Beast.

– Chapter Twelve –
The Mark Of The Beast
The September 1988 issue of The Economist magazine had emblazoned
on its cover: “Get ready for a world currency”
The title of the article: Get Ready for the Phoenix, begins: “THIRTY
years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many
other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be
paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted
not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let’s say, the phoenix. The phoenix
will be favored by companies and shoppers because it will be more
convenient than today’s national currencies, which by then will seem a
quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth
century. At the beginning of 1988 this appears an outlandish prediction.”
The authors “quaint cause of much disruption” which began about 2008
remains a growing and harsh reality that is systematically destroying
national economies around the globe. The end game spelled out clearly
thirty years in advance, the article continues: “This points to a muddled
sequence of emergency followed by a patch-up followed by emergency,
stretching out far beyond 2018 – except for two things. As time passes,
the damage caused by currency instability is gradually going to mount;
and the very trends that will make it mount are making the utopia of
monetary union feasible.” The Economist article concludes, “Pencil in the
phoenix for around 2018, and welcome it when it comes.”
“The Cashless Society is Almost Here – And With Some Very Sinister
Implications”
A November 2012 Patrick Henningsen article so titled, in the midst of
our growing financial crisis begins: “Among the long list of items
bundled by consensus reality merchants under the banner of ‘conspiracy
theory’, is a world without cash – where technocrats rule over the
populace, and everything and anything is exchanged via plastic and RFID
chips.” He continues, “What few counted on, however, was how the final
push would take place, and why. Some will be surprised by these new
86
emerging mechanisms, and the political and sinister implications they will
ultimately lead to.” And the author posits, “Every revolution needs a good
crisis in order to germinate its seed. The cashless revolution is no
different. It should be abundantly clear by now that the global financial
meltdown has been engineered at every juncture of its unfolding by the
very private central banks who expand and contract the money supply. A
dollar or euro collapse will trigger a global economic crisis, which is a
prime opportunity to introduce the next phase.”
Our author admits: “It’s arguable that we (are) approaching the cusp of
that US Dollar collapse, and perhaps a Euro implosion on the back end of
it. Risks of hyper inflation are very real here, but if you control the money
supply (you) might already have a ready-made solution waiting in the
wings, you will not be worrying about the rift, only waiting for the chaos
to ensue so as to maximize your own booty from the crisis.” He also
reports, Economics professor Miles Kimball from the University of
Michigan thinks he knows the answer, and I quote: “In short, for a smooth
transition, a reintroduced mark needs to be an electronic mark. I recently
made the case for the electronic dollar in a previous Quartz column, “E-
Money: How paper currency is holding the US recovery back.”
Patrick then does an adequate job of weaving Bitcoin, (EBT) Electronic
Benefit Transfer, and social engineering as the darker side of the
technological leap. He concludes the article: “The financial collapse
which began in 2007-2008 was merely the opening gambit of the elite
criminal class, a mere warm-up for things to come. With the next collapse
we may see a centrally controlled global digital currency gaining its final
foothold. The cashless society is already here. The question now is – how
far will society allow it to penetrate and completely control each and every
aspect of their day to day lives?”
The Bible exposes Satan’s intent in the unfolding trans-generational
conspiracy implemented primarily by his ignorant and unwitting
subordinates upon all the inhabitants of the earth. By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence... (Eze 28:16)
Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation tells us that Satan will set up a
monetary system thru the final governments of men under his control
which will require "...all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that
87
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name." (Rev 13:16-17)
Bible defined:
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in
their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six. (Rev 13:15-18)
What we learn to identify the Mark Of The Beast (MOTB) is that the
Second Beast whom we have identified as America. creates an Image, the
United Nations, to rule the world as at one time did the Roman Empire,
the First Beast. Now the military arm of the United Nations is
headquartered in the District of Columbia, one of the Cities of the Empire.
In verse 12 it is stated of the U.S. Government, “he exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him.” (see our chapter on America)
America has filled this role as the worlds primary policeman for the last
half century through the UN. That America is alluded to as the primary
enforcer of the MOTB and the worship of the Image (obedience to the UN
power) should not be surprising, rather it is a confirmation of our
interpretation.
We also learn that the primary application and lure of the MOTB system
is monetary so that no one will be able to buy or sell in the Beast System
without it. Therefore we need a biblical understanding of money:
A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his
delight. (Pro 11:1)
A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: (Pro 16:11)
And if thy brother be waxen poor... Thou shalt not give him thy money
upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. (Lev 25:35-37)
88
"A just weight and balance are the LORD'S," this quote defines a
monetary system of honest substance, like gold and silver or any other
commodity by weight.
The MOTB monetary system is Satan’s money and antithetical to
Biblical financial Principles. "A false balance is abomination to the
LORD," it is also the foundation of Satan's monetary system - money
without commodity or substance. Now what if you had a monetary
system where all this money was created by usury out of thin air? When
we weigh our present day monetary systems in the light of God's word it
becomes easy to determine that the fiat usury money of today is not God's
money, but Satan’s. It is therefore only logical that the final MOTB
system will incorporate these evils at an unprecedented level. The
introduction of a totally digital currency will be the pinnacle of these
Satanic principles in practice.
Upon the introduction of the final MOTB financial system I believe we
will see a creeping enforcement that will quickly outlaw every form of
financial exchange outside the Digital Mark System. Because I have
practiced living without the New World Social Order Numbering System
for twenty plus years now, I have experienced this creeping exclusion
from financial system privileges such as banking and borrowing, credit or
debit cards, and commercial as well as drivers licensing to name a few.
This process will be exacerbated upon the introduction of the final Digital
Mark System, even to the exclusion of paying property taxes. As
practiced during the inquisitions of history, the property of heretics (those
who will then not comply with the New World Social-Economic Order)
will again be confiscated, but by the State for non-payment of taxes, same
effect.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or
in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and
in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here
is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of
89
God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works
do follow them. (Rev 14:9-13)
Most people of the world will transition into the MOTB system without
a whimper as they are already idolaters and worshipers of Satan at least in
practice if not overtly and they will quickly turn on those who will not
comply. Though they may escape the wrath of the 'Powers That Be' they
will not escape the wrath of God Who's wrath will have eternal
consequences. Those righteous who overcome, or get victory over the
beast, image and mark will likely do so at the peril of their mortal lives,
which lives they accept as perishing anyway, rather having their eyes set
upon the prize of eternal life through Jesus the Messiah and redeemer of
mankind.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness
of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. (Rev 20:4)
The primary attribute of those who overcome the MOTB is that “they
that keep the commandments of God...” The sad fact that the Corporate (in
bed with the State) church has taught that the commandments of God were
nailed to the cross will leave many of these Corporation churched and
nominal Christians totally unprepared to recognize or effectively stand
against the Mark Of The Beast. They have been told that God's Law was
only for the Jews back then and we do not have to carry that heavy burden.
The corporate hirelings lead people up to the Kingdom but do not suffer
them to enter because they do not go in themselves, they deny the power
of the kingdom, the power of any kingdom is found in its law.
Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
666 and The Mark of the Beast, What is it?
90
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17
The Mark Of The Beast and the Name of the Beast and the Number of
His Name (666) are not all the same thing as most people believe. The
number of HIS name (666) is for us to Identify the Head of the Beast that
received the wound by the sword and did live because it is the number of
a man, or succinctly the position that is filled by a man. I believe that we
have successfully identified both of the Revelation 13 Beasts and this
wounded Head in our prior chapters. The Mark Of The Beast is to identify
the People that Belong to the Beast in this Final Era. The Shocking Truth
is that the Bible does not require that this Final Era be confined to a mere
seven or three and a half year period of time. It is only shocking because
most people, especially Christians have been taken in by the Great
Prophecy Delusion and its Seven Year Tribulation Deception.
In 2009 India began its UID program to biometrically ID its 1.2 billion
citizens (one sixth of the world population). They hope to have 600
million enrolled by the end of 2014 and to be able to enroll another 1
million per day about the same time. This means, if all goes well that it
will take at least two additional years to number the remaining 600 million
citizens. A Wired article proclaims,
“The technological problems may pale compared to the potential civil
liberties issues. Anti-Aadhaar protesters showed up at Nilekani’s
January speech at the National Institute of Advanced Studies. Several
anti-Aadhaar websites have sprung up. And members of parliament and
prominent intellectuals have criticized the whole idea. (A Christian sect
even denounced it as a cover for introducing the number of the Beast.).
Technically, Aadhaar is voluntary. No one is obligated to get scanned
into the system. But that’s like saying no American is obligated to get a
Social Security number. In practice, once the Aadhaar system really
takes hold, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to function without
being part of it.
According to China Daily, over 1.1 billion people have already received
their new (biometric) ID cards. (as of January 2013)
91
Many believe the Mark Of The Beast will be a bio-chip implant.
However the bio-chip has proven much too insecure and prone to easy
theft by cloning to gain acceptance. And the bio-chip can never BE the
Mark Of The Beast, it can only tell you what ones identifying number or
MARK is. The mode is not the Mark, it is only the means by which your
account number is identified. There is a better and more secure
technology, and it is already in use. As a matter of fact all of these other
modes, (chips, cards and other cyber-connected devices) are dependent
upon ancient technology for final verification.
Lets look at exactly what the Scripture says about this Mark of the
Beast:
- Rev 13:16 reveals that the second Beast ...causeth all to receive it,
- Ch 19 v.20 says they that receive it are deceived [possibly meaning
they are manipulated, or that they do not know the full implications of
what they are doing. Many will choose to worship the Image for a
personal cause, benefits, career, safety and out of fear.
- Ch 14 v.12 explains that those who do not receive it "keep the
commandments of God" and at sometime may forfeit their lives by
refusing, recanting or not receiving the Mark of the Beast.
- Ch 15 v.2 talks about ... them that had gotten the victory over the
beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his
name... meaning that many who were deceived may repent and recant the
use and participation in the Beast Identification System.
This is contrary to the popular interpretation which teaches that, all who
take the mark will be damned by God to be cast into the Lake of Fire - NO
EXCEPTIONS. I believe the Enemy has implemented this device to breed
DENIAL - But I serve a God who is BIG on forgiveness, His word also
says that "ALL LIARS WILL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF
FIRE." But we also understand, though we have all lied at some time,
God's forgiveness makes an exception for all who will repent. True
repentance of the Mark of the Beast will be no different though in time it
may cost you everything, including your life. And I must warn anyone
who receives the MOTB intentionally, believing they will be able to repent
92
later, it is unlikely they will ever come to that repentance.
Now I told you that there is a better and more secure technology already
in use than the bio-chip and It seems that both India and China agree.
That ancient technology created by God is the individuals unique biology
and the frontal lobe of the brain, the memory, what the Bible refers to as
your forehead. And if you are like most people you have already received
some form of Government [BEAST] identification number or [MARK].
And You can recite it at this very moment! With all of this biometric data
collection going on one thing remains in common among the nations
implementing biometric ID systems: every individual is issued a unique
identifying account number. If the target date for the MOTB is in fact
2018, the question remains, will the worlds population be numbered in
time. Almost everyone I know in the good ole USA is already numbered.
The biometric data is simply for verification of any individuals account
number. The MOTB will always require some form of biometric
verification, the most secure of which is your memory. Believing that it
must be a bio-chip implant is a red herring as is the "Sunday worship is the
Mark of the Beast" teaching along with the rapture seven year tribulation
deception. All of these make you feel safe now and ignore the fact that
you already have a mark which will completely qualify when the time
comes to transition to the final MOTB phase. We only need to move
beyond the deceptions which maintain our denial.
A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD:(Pro 11:1) A just weight
and balance [are] the LORD'S Pro 16:11: These scriptures describe two
different types of money. Which one do you think will accompany the
Mark of the Beast system? The false balance combined with usury, both
which God hates, precisely describes the new monetary system that has
now overtaken the entire world. Does one not need a certain identification
number to participate in this new monetary creation process through usury
credit? In other words, don't you need a certain government issued
identification number in order to qualify for a loan from your local bank?
Does one not mortgage their life and labor for this privilege? And who
has the power to create this money out of thin air? Just who do you
become indebted to? The Bible tells exactly who, "the dragon gave him
his power..." it also tells us that the "borrower is a slave to the lender."
The Beast "causes all" to receive the mark, but there are those who will
93
recant or not receive the Mark or withdraw even to the point of death. To
"buy or sell" means that this will be a system of monetary identification,
but because there are those who will not receive the MOTB we may
conclude that there will also be an "underground" economy. So there are
and will continue to be two different monetary systems in these final
years. The "underground" one will be based on trade in substance, a just
weight and balance. In a LAWFUL MONETARY SYSTEM no one needs
an identification to participate, you simply need valuable consideration or
substance to carry out your trade. But a USURY MONETARY SYSTEM
requires some sort of identification to participate in creating money out of
debt because slaves (the borrower is a slave to the lender) must be tracked
and the whereabouts of their assets accounted for. Slaves must report to
their masters!
You are not going to like this part - I know I don't! In America do you
fill out a 1040 inquisition form? MOST have an ID (a mark) that
identifies them by number as belonging to the government (a beast). It is
a number which allows them to buy, sell and trade-work, open bank
accounts, and get credit in the Beast Monetary system. Did you sign up
for one of these numbers? Or did someone volunteer you? Wake up,
repent, "Come out of her my people and I will receive you." This is not a
joke. Many are walking away from the SSN in the USA, the SIN in
Canada, the NENo. in Europe, etc. The Beast has its numbering Mark
System for every county now, walking away will be the only option for the
Elect of God. WAKE UP, REPENT, THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues. (Rev 18:4)
The love of Mammon is the root of all evil. Mammon is unjust gain and
a false balance-which the Lord hates, all money created by the FED / IMF
has a diminishing value for this very purpose and the purpose of enslaving
the masses through usury. It is no wonder that the New World Social-
Economic Order is now enlisting the masses by operation of planned
financial crisis into a socialist benefit system now using exclusively
Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) to manipulate their victims into the
precarious position of irrevocable dependence. When the final
transformation to the MOTB system occurs these people will be easily
94
integrated and enslaved to the New World Social-Economic Order, the real
Matrix of the Mother of Harlots.
The Elect of God, those who obey His commandments know that the
acceptance of socialist benefits is an unjust gain and it bothers their
conscience. It is the love of mammon to accept that unjust gain rather
than obey the commandment and rely solely upon the provision of God,
even at the danger of want, the just shall walk by faith. Some will be
called to repentance and will not be able to continue to participate,
especially upon the final transition into the MOTB monetary system.
Many will be required to even walk away from their homes, hard earned
wealth, investments and other pseudo investments such as Social Security
when that time comes. The choice to maintain riches and security for now
but forfeit the gospel prize is no choice at all for the elect.
The Global Great Depression
There is now a great financial crisis continuing to develop over the
entire world, this has happened before, it was called the Great Depression,
the first trial run of Satan's Monetary System implemented in 1913
America by the Federal Reserve coop of the United States Treasury in
order to bring about the numbering of every American and to use the
wealth of this great nation to build the foundation for the New World
Social-Economic Order.
This current Global Great Depression is as much by design as the first
Great Depression was and perhaps will follow a similar pattern - a
prolonged financial crisis followed by a World Crisis or War to condition
the masses to accept a New Social Order and a One World Monetary
System which will require the allegiance of "...all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark..." Rev 13:16-17
The demise of the Beast's first World Reserve Currency, the U.S.
Federal Reserve Dollar, only serves the purpose of making way for the
New and Final Form of Satan's Monetary System as foretold by the Bible.
The blame for this demise and current financial crisis will be placed on the
scapegoat of American Capitalism and resultant Greed, however all
95
safeguards have purposely been legislated away precisely to bring about
the present crisis. Behind the scenes it is the same power, the power that
comes from the Dragon which will control the coming Mark of the Beast
Monetary System, but this time it will be worldwide and enforced! The
Social Security System in America has been the pattern for the new social-
economic order which has now spread to every nation. When the time
comes to pledge allegiance to the New World Social Order for many the
transition will be seamless, but for the Elect of God it may require their
very lives, also foretold of Bible prophecy.
They Keep the Commandments of God
The Revelation names the prominent attribute of “them that had gotten
the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark” as they
that keep the commandments of God.
...keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ. (Rev 12:17)
96
again ...here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus. (Rev 14:12)
Following I have listed Old & New Testament Commandments
prohibiting participation in the social-commu-fascism of the New World
Social-Economic Order by citizens of His Kingdom.
-Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, ...nor any
thing that [is] thy neighbour's. I cannot voluntarily ascribe to a system
that uses the gun of the state or threat of violence to rob my neighbor and
thereby enrich my self or provide for my financial security. Charity
requires that the one who is giving is doing so voluntarily and hopefully
with a cheerful heart.
-Proverbs 1:10 My son, if unbelievers entice thee, consent thou not.
(11) If they say, Come with us, ... Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have
one purse: (15) My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy
foot from their path: This prohibits all participation in any insurance
scheme, including Social Security, which does not wholey exclude
participation by unbelievers. Another example is mandatory auto
insurance, which I have found is not really so mandatory.
When the State of California began to require that I apply for socialist
benefits (which is against the Law of God) so that I could obtain a Social
Security number without which they would not continue to issue me a
Drivers License, I felt like the three Hebrew men who were about to lose
their license to live if they would not violate the Law of God by
committing idolatry. But what I have found is that having a Drivers
License is not mandatory and a Social Security number is not required of
anyone unless they want the benefits of socialism. Would I violate the
Law of God simply to keep the benefit of having a Drivers License?
Should Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego simply bowed down like
everyone else in order to continue living?
The New Testament expression of the very same principle is found at:
-2 Corinthians 6:14-17 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15)
97
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people. (17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be
ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will
receive you...
Daniel and the three Hebrew men were slaves owned by the King of
Babylon. They simply drew the line where their owner required them to
violate the Law of God. That is where I have drawn my line, that is where
the line must be drawn for the MOTB system or any government at any
time. Where will you draw the line, will you be one who keeps the
commandments of God, will you be a Daniel?
-Romans 13:8-10 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for
he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. (9) For this, Thou shalt not
commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (10) Love worketh no ill to his
neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus replied with,
love God and love thy neighbor, with an addendum, “On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Meaning that the Old
Testament to which he referred falls, or fails without without a love of
God and neighbor. The hypocrites who did not love God or their neighbor
kept the letter of the law and thought themselves justified thereby, but they
failed to keep the spirit of the law. In the same way the forced charity of
the New World Social-Economic Order, what the Anti-Christ calls
CHARITY IN TRUTH is contrary to the spirit of the law. If we do not
love in the way ascribed by the word of God then our love is primarily an
illusion.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able
to kill the soul: but rather fear him [GOD] which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell.
98
When the MOTB inquisitions begin a nominal Christian will justify
receiving the mark even believing God will forgive them because they
capitulated in order to save their children or feed their family. Jesus had
some pretty hard words for these people, “He that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me.” The fact is this, if you capitulate to the
MOTB in order to save your loved ones you are more likely to condemn
them and yourself to the punishment of hell than not. It is unlikely that
any who knowingly and willingly receive the MOTB for any reason will
ever have an opportunity to repent.
Rev 14:9-10 ...If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive
[its] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, (10) The same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God...

2 Corinthians 6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 He exhorteth them to lead their lives as it becometh Christians, 5 neither to be dismayed in tribulations, 9 nor puffed up with glory: 14 to avoid all uncleanness, 16 considering that they are the temples of the living God.
1 So [a]we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 [b]For he saith, I have heard thee in a time [c]accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold now the accepted time, behold now the day of salvation.
3 [d]We give no occasion of offence in anything, that our ministry should not be reprehended.
4 But in all things we [e]approve ourselves as the ministers of God, [f]in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses.
5 In stripes, in prisons, in [g]tumults, in labors,
6 [h]By watchings, by fastings, by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the [i]word of truth, by the [j]power of God, by the [k]armor of righteousness on the right hand, and on the left,
8 By honor, and dishonor, by evil report, and good report, as deceivers, and yet true:
9 As unknown, and yet known: as dying, and behold, we live, as chastened, and yet not killed:
10 As sorrowing, and yet always rejoicing: as poor, and yet making many rich: as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 [l]O Corinthians, our mouth is [m]open unto you, our heart is made large.
12 Ye are not [n]kept strait in us, but ye are kept strait in your own [o]bowels.
13 Now for the same recompense, I speak as to my children, Be you also enlarged.
14 [p]Be not unequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what [q]part hath the believer with the infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the [r]living God: as God hath said, I will [s]dwell among them, and walk there: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, and touch none unclean thing, and I will receive you.
18 And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
