Queen Camilla ditches tiara at White House state dinner as King Charles gifts Trump historic bell
Royal commentator Amanda Matta says the no-tiara move is 'understandable' since the visit underscores America's independence

King Charles and Queen Camilla are reigning supreme, bringing sparkle, charm, and plenty of dazzle for a glamorous evening at the White House.
On Tuesday, the royal couple were greeted by President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump at a state dinner in the East Room. The wives delighted spectators with their jewel-hued ensembles.
The queen wore a deep fuchsia pink evening gown by Fiona Clare, one of her go-to couturiers. The dress was paired with an amethyst and diamond necklace gifted to Queen Victoria and then passed to Queen Mary, the BBC reported. While Queen Elizabeth II wore a tiara for her 2007 visit to the U.S., Camilla, 78, did not.
"Not wearing a tiara to the U.S., a republic, makes sense," royal commentator Amanda Matta told Fox News Digital. "It might be a respectful acknowledgment of our 250th year of independence from monarchy. Still, I did expect some razzle dazzle to give President Trump a taste of the royal flair that Britain does so well! But Queen Camilla's necklace does the job there. It appears to be the Kent Amethyst Necklace."
"I think the no-tiara move is understandable, if a bit disappointing for royal watchers!" Matta noted. "Since this visit is underscoring America's independence, a tiara could have read as over-the-top."
The queen further accessorized with matching earrings and a shimmering silver clutch.
The first lady, 56, opted for a pale delphinium pink silk strapless gown by Christian Dior Haute Couture, the outlet shared. She completed the look with off-white Dior suede gloves and Dior pale delphinium silk pumps.
"The stunning pink tones on both Her Majesty and the first lady seem to be a nod to the famous cherry blossoms of Washington, D.C.," said Matta. "Notes on the menu and decor for the evening highlight the "shared appreciation of gardens" between the king and the president. There will also be hints of English lilac in the decor to honor the guest nation. "
The queen's choice of jewels is part of the Kent Amethyst Demi-Parure, a coordinated set of matching jewels, said Matta. The collection dates back to 1818, Town & Country reported. According to the outlet, the pieces originally belonged to Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Duchess of Kent and mother of Queen Victoria. The late Queen Elizabeth also wore the piece on numerous occasions throughout her reign.
The state dinner marks the first time that Camilla wore the sparkling statement necklace from the royal collection.
The king, 77, and the president, 79, wore white ties, letting their wives shine.
An opulent royal feast awaited guests.
The dinner featured a garden vegetable velouté paired with hearts of palm, toasted shallots and micro mint, followed by spring herbed ravioli with ricotta, morels and parmesan emulsion sourced in part from the White House Kitchen Garden.
The main course was Dover sole meunière with potato pavé, spring ramps and snow peas. The dessert course highlighted beehive-shaped chocolate gâteau with vanilla bean crémeux, almond joconde, crème fraîche ice cream and White House honey. Wines include a 2024 Hopkins Riesling, a 2022 Penner-Ash Pinot Noir and a 2022 Newton Chardonnay, selected to showcase American winemaking and complement the menu.
Entertainment was provided by U.S. military ensembles, including "The President’s Own" Marine Band, Army and Air Force choruses and strings.
It was also during the state dinner that Charles showed off his signature humor. During the toast, the beaming monarch made numerous jokes, charming guests while keeping them laughing.
"Indeed, you recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German," said Charles.
"Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French!"
He quickly added that, "of course, we both love our French cousins greatly."
But the toast also came with a heartfelt surprise.
Charles announced he was gifting Trump a historic naval artifact, the original bell from the tower of the HMS Trump. The Royal Navy submarine was first launched in 1944 and fought in the Battle of the Pacific during WWII.
"So tonight, Mr. President, I am delighted to present to you as a personal gift, the original bell, which hung on the conning tower of your valiant namesake," said Charles. "May it stand as a testimony to our nation's shared history and shining future."
"And should you ever need to get hold of us, just give us a ring," he quipped.
The vessel's name is unrelated to the president. Buckingham Palace said in a statement ahead of the speech that the bell was a "symbol of friendship to mark this renewal," the BBC reported.
"King Charles has been in his element," said royal commentator Meredith Constant. "He's managed to strike an appropriate balance between jokes and comments that both recognize how divided America is without sounding too political. I think it's safe to say that King Charles has been the shining star of this trip so far."
The celebrations took place in the East Room.
The East Room, known as the largest of the State Rooms, was designed by James Hoban and George Washington to be a "Public Audience Room," The White House Historical Association reported.
Charles and Camilla are on a four-day visit to the U.S. intended to both celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and to help repair the country’s strained "special relationship" with the U.K.
The king and queen arrived at the White House on Monday, where they were warmly welcomed by Trump and the first lady. After having tea in the Green Room, the royals went down to the South Grounds to see a new beehive in the shape of the White House that the first lady had installed last week. The royal couple then attended a garden party at the British Embassy.
On Tuesday, the king gave a 20-minute speech at a joint session of Congress, where he repeatedly highlighted the historical and cultural ties between both nations. He is the second British monarch to do so, after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
After a night of glitz and glam in D.C., the royal couple will be traveling to New York City, where they’ll meet with first responders and families of the victims from the 9/11 attacks. Camilla will also visit the New York Public Library to mark the centenary of English author A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh." Charles and Camilla will also attend a gala for the monarch's charity, The King's Trust, in the evening.
The couple's transatlantic trip will conclude in Virginia, where they'll attend a block party celebrating America’s birthday. Charles will also visit a national park, while Camilla explores a farm to highlight the work of America’s horse racing industry.
During her reign, the late queen embarked on four state visits to the U.S.: in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007.

The story of Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada
Diana Wright busts the myths and tells the real story of Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada and the part it played in Elizabethan propaganda
Author:
Diana Wright
Published Date:
28 March 2025
The iconic Armada Portrait shows Queen Elizabeth I surrounded by potent symbols of majesty, while in the background we see her navy and ‘Protestant’ winds thwarting the mighty invasion fleet of Philip II of Spain.
What could be more stirring? And what could be more beguiling than the story of Sir Francis Drake nonchalantly finishing a game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe before valiantly sailing out to finish off the approaching foe?
The failed invasion of England by the Spanish Armada in 1588 may be the most famous conflict of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, but it’s also a tale greatly embellished by Tudor propaganda and later myth-making – the story of a cool-headed Drake playing bowls in the face of imminent danger only emerged many years after actual events took place. Nonetheless, the Armada episode is filled with drama.
England’s Protestant Queen and Spain’s Catholic King had previous form. It is often forgotten that Philip, King of Spain from 1556, had also been King of England for four years by virtue of his marriage in 1554 to Elizabeth’s Catholic half-sister, Queen Mary. After Mary died childless in 1558, he proposed to the new Queen Elizabeth, believing that he might convert her and keep England in the Catholic faith. Elizabeth declined the offer, Philip married elsewhere, and neither monarch took personal offence.
But matters changed as England became decidedly more Protestant under Elizabeth. The Queen was excommunicated by the Pope in 1570 and pressure from Rome mounted on Philip, head of the dominant European power of the day, to topple her. Spain’s lucrative trading enterprises across the globe were also being increasingly plundered by English privateers (essentially state-sponsored piracy). Elizabeth gave her maverick buccaneer Drake a knighthood; Philip put a bounty of 20,000 gold ducats on his head.
Relations nosedived further when Elizabeth signed the Treaty of Nonsuch (1585) by which England pledged support for Dutch rebels against Spanish rule in the Netherlands. Drake’s raids against Spanish commerce continued in the Caribbean and then, amid reports from spies that Spain was building an ‘Invincible Armada’ to invade England, he and fellow privateers made a pre-emptive strike in 1587 that included the sacking of Cádiz.
Gleefully celebrated in England as “singeing the King of Spain’s beard”, Drake’s antics delayed the Armada expedition – some two dozen ships and their provisions had been lost – but a furious Philip was more than ever committed to his ‘Enterprise of England’. Troubles still spiralled through lack of supplies and money (a tight-fisted Pope promised to release funds only after troops landed on English soil), and the Armada’s commander died. His reluctant replacement, the Duke of Medina Sidonia, though an able administrator, protested he had “no experience either of the sea or of war”. Philip, exasperated by delays, dismissed the objections.
The finally agreed plan was for the Armada of ships to clear a way up the English Channel, to meet the Duke of Parma and his troops waiting in Flanders and enable them to make the short crossing to invade England via Kent.
Meanwhile, spies had been reporting back on preparations to England, where the atmosphere in government was feverish. There had already been an unsuccessful rebellion of Catholics in the north of England in the late 1560s, and plots to put Mary, Queen of Scots on England’s throne had recently led to her execution. Would English Catholics rise in support of a Spanish invasion?
Government advisers, frustrated by Elizabeth’s parsimony and ability to procrastinate, had been urging her to spend money on defences badly in need of updating and to mobilise forces. “For the love of God let her majesty care not now for charges,” sighed the commander of the English fleet, Charles Howard, 2nd Baron Howard of Effingham. Despite near-empty treasury coffers, efforts were made to guard the most vulnerable coastal points, a network of beacons was manned, and Howard and his second-in-command Drake got ready; thankfully, John Hawkins, treasurer of the Navy, had kept major ships in good condition.
The Spanish had around 130 ships in their fleet, ranging from war galleons to lighter supply craft. The English mustered fewer ships but also brought in merchant and private craft to make up the numbers. With slower, less heavily armed vessels, the Spanish planned on grappling and boarding to fight their opponents. The English, faster, and with more and heavier guns, banked on being able to bombard enemy ships from a distance.
As soon as the Spanish set sail from Lisbon in May 1588, things went wrong as gales forced ships into the port of Corunna for repairs. Sidonia complained to Philip about rotting supplies, sickness and his men’s lack of seafaring experience, but the King gave him short shrift: “I have dedicated this enterprise to God... Pull yourself together then and do your part.”
The English first sighted the Armada off Lizard Point, in Cornwall, towards the end of July and the English fleet sailed out from Plymouth to harass the Spanish. Three brisk skirmishes ensued, off Plymouth, Portland Bill, and the Isle of Wight, with no clear winner. The loss to Spain of two warships was self-inflicted through collisions and an explosion, while Drake, sidetracked into plundering one stricken ship, drew criticism and envy in equal measure from his colleagues.
Progressing to the Strait of Dover, the Armada anchored in an exposed position off Calais. Already annoyed at lack of communications from Parma, Sidonia was now aghast to learn that the Duke, having faced earlier blockades by Dutch ships, needed another six days to embark his invasion troops. The Armada waited, stranded at anchor.
Then suddenly, at midnight 7–8 August, the English sent eight blazing fire-ships into the Armada’s midst. The panicked Spanish cut their cables and scattered. At dawn, Howard’s fleet advanced and attacked the Armada with cannons.
Damage to the Armada at the Battle of Gravelines was severe, while English vessels “received little hurt”, yet Howard, lacking sufficient ammunition, could not follow up with a killer blow. As winds dragged the Spanish into the North Sea, Sidonia decided to head for home, around the tip of Scotland and west of Ireland: a journey beset by such ferocious ‘Protestant’ gales that Spain’s overall losses – of which relatively few came from actual battle – dramatically multiplied to at least 50 ships.
Even more than vaunted English and Dutch bravery and seamanship, it was flawed Spanish strategy, insufficient coordination with Parma, and poor weather conditions that really foiled the Armada. England’s independence as a Protestant nation prevailed and, though niggles with Spain continued until the Treaty of London 1604, no Spanish fleet seriously threatened invasion again.
And what of Queen Elizabeth’s famous speech at Tilbury, in which she declared to her troops that despite having the body of “a weak and feeble woman”, she had “the heart and stomach of a king” and was prepared “to live and die amongst you”?
Well, she didn’t quite put her life on the line as the rhetoric might suggest, because by 19 August 1588 when she gave her performance, the Armada was heading home. But Tudor spin turned the moment into another touchstone of English history, burnishing the Armada legend that would feed into later claims that “Britannia rules the waves”.

The Camiño de Santiago (Latin: Peregrinatio Compostellana, lit. 'Pilgrimage of Compostela'; Galician: O Camiño de Santiago; Spanish: El Camino de Santiago; Portuguese: O Caminho de Santiago),[1] or the Way of St. James in English, is a network of pilgrims' ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle are buried. Pilgrims follow its routes as a form of spiritual path or retreat for their spiritual growth. It is also popular with hikers, cyclists, and organized tour groups.
Created and established in the beginning of the 9th century following the discovery of the relics of Saint James the Great, the Way of St. James became a major pilgrimage route of medieval Christianity from the 10th century onwards. Following the end of the Granada War in 1492, under the reign of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, Pope Alexander VI officially declared the Camino de Santiago to be one of the "three great pilgrimages of Christendom", along with Jerusalem and the Via Francigena to Rome.
In 1987, the Camino, which encompasses several routes in Spain, France, and Portugal, was declared the first Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. Since 2013, the Camino has attracted more than 200,000 pilgrims each year, with an annual growth rate of more than 10 percent. Pilgrims come mainly on foot and often from nearby cities, requiring several days of walking to reach Santiago. The French Way gathers two-thirds of the walkers, but other minor routes are experiencing a growth in popularity. The French Way and the Northern routes in Spain were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, followed by the routes in France in 1998, because of their historical significance for Christianity as a major pilgrimage route and their testimony to the exchange of ideas and cultures across the routes.[2][3]
Major Christian pilgrimage route
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
The reliquary of Saint James in the Cathedral of Santiago
The Way of St. James was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during the later Middle Ages, and a pilgrimage route on which a plenary indulgence could be earned;[4] other major pilgrimage routes include the Via Francigena to Rome and the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Legend holds that St James's remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain, where he was buried in what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela[5] (according to Spanish legends, Saint James had spent time preaching the gospel in Spain, but returned to Judaea upon seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary on the bank of the Ebro River).[6][7]
Pilgrims on the Way can take one of dozens of pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Traditionally, as with most pilgrimages, the Way of Saint James begins at one's home and ends at the pilgrimage site. However, a few of the routes are considered main ones. During the Middle Ages, the route was highly travelled. However, the Black Death, the Protestant Reformation, and political unrest in 16th century Europe led to its decline.
Whenever St James's Day (25 July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral declares a Holy Year (not to be confused with a Jubilee Year which is celebrated every 25 or 50 years, with extraordinary jubilees in addition depending on need). Depending on leap years, Holy Years occur in 5-, 6-, and 11-year intervals. The most recent were 1993, 1999, 2004, 2010 and 2021. The next will be in 2027.[8]
History
Pre-Christian history
Roman bridge with 19 arches over the river Órbigo. The bridge has been integrated into the modern Camino Francés.
The main pilgrimage route to Santiago follows an earlier Roman trade route, which continues to the Atlantic coast of Galicia, ending at Cape Finisterre. Although it is known today that Cape Finisterre, Spain's westernmost point, is not the westernmost point of Europe (Cabo da Roca in Portugal is farther west), the fact that the Romans called it Finisterrae (literally the end of the world or Land's End in Latin) indicates that they viewed it as such. At night, the Milky Way overhead seems to point the way, so the route acquired the nickname "Voie lactée" – the Milky Way in French.[9]

Pope Alexander VI (Italian: Alessandro VI, Valencian: Alexandre VI, Spanish: Alejandro VI; born Roderic Llançol i de Borja;[Note 2] epithet: Valentinus ("The Valencian");[6] c. 1431 – 18 August 1503) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 11 August 1492 until his death in 1503.

Francis Borgia SJ (Valencian: Francesc de Borja; Spanish: Francisco de Borja; 28 October 1510 – 30 September 1572) was a Spanish Jesuit priest. The great-grandson of both Pope Alexander VI and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, he was Duke of Gandía and a grandee of Spain. After the death of his wife, Borgia renounced his titles and became a priest in the Society of Jesus, later serving as its third superior general.

Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603)[a] was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603. She was the last and longest reigning monarch of the House of Tudor. Her eventful reign, and its effect on history and culture, gave name to the Elizabethan era.

The Spanish Armada was a Spanish fleet that sailed from Lisbon in late May 1588, commanded by Alonso de Guzmán, Duke of Medina Sidonia, an aristocrat appointed by Philip II of Spain. His orders were to sail up the English Channel, join with the army of Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma in Flanders, and escort an invasion force that would land in England and overthrow Elizabeth I.

Inter caetera ('Among other [works]') was a papal bull issued by Pope Alexander VI on 4 May 1493, which granted to the Catholic Monarchs King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile all lands to the "west and south" of a pole-to-pole line 100 leagues west and south of any of the islands of the Azores or the Cape Verde islands.[1]

Sion Against the Stuarts
With the extinction of the Valois dynasty a fate accompli, Sion looked across the channel to the Scottish Templar Stuarts in line to ascend to the English throne (see chapter 2). Queen Elizabeth was old and childless. On her deathbed in 1603 she formally acknowledged James VI of Scotland her successor. James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. A Templar throne in England was a more serious problem for Sion than the new Merovingian Bourbon throne in France. Hence, the next five Grand Masters of Sion concentrated on deposing the Templar Stuarts - a goal which took nearly a century to accomplish.

Paul V's hard-edged Catholic diplomacy cut the ground from under moderate Catholics in England. His letter of 9 July 1606 to congratulate James I on his accession to the throne was three years late and seemed to English eyes merely a preamble to what followed, and his reference to the Gunpowder Plot, made against the life of the monarch and all the members of Parliament the previous November, was unfortunate for the Papal cause, for Papal agents were considered by the English to have been involved

The Apostolic Palace[a] is the official residence of the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, located in Vatican City. It is also known as the Papal Palace, the Palace of the Vatican and the Vatican Palace. The Vatican itself refers to the building as the Palace of Sixtus V, in honor of Pope Sixtus V, who built most of the present form of the palace.[2]
The Portone di Bronzo at the Vatican Apostolic Palace entrance
The building contains the papal apartments, various offices of the Catholic Church and the Holy See, private and public chapels, the Vatican Museums, and the Vatican Library, including the Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms, and the Borgia Apartments. Tourists can see this part of the palace, but other parts, such as the Sala Regia (Regal Room) and Cappella Paolina, had long been closed to tourists, though the Sala Regia allowed occasional tourism by 2019. The Scala Regia (Regal Staircase) can be viewed from one end and used to enter the Sala Regia.[3] The Cappella Paolina remains closed to tourists.

AFA-27 [recorded 03/15/87] | The CIA, the Military & Drugs Part IV
Developing a line of inquiry presented in the preceding broadcast, this program focuses on narco-terrorism in Latin America. Particular emphasis is on intelligence-related elements that figured in the Iran-Contra scandal, anti-Castro Cubans in particular. Much of the discussion centers on activities that took place when George Bush was in charge of the CIA.
After reviewing the Latin American narcotics network of Corsican gangster and Third Reich collaborator Auguste Ricord, the broadcast focuses on the role of Ricord associate Klaus Barbie in the 1980 “Cocaine Coup” in Bolivia. The Gestapo chief of Lyons (France) during the war, Barbie found post-war employment with American intelligence, first with the Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps, and later with the CIA.
With the aid of elements of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Unification Church of Sun Myung Moon, Barbie and a group of fascist terrorists associated with the narcotics trade overthrew the Bolivian government and established a dictatorship under General Garcia-Meza. Under this regime, the business of cocaine kingpin Roberto Suarez thrived, aided by Barbie and his “bridegrooms of death.” Doubling as para-fascist terrorists and enforcers for the government, Barbie and his cutthroats aided the bloody suppression of trade unions and the political left in the coup’s aftermath.
Barbie’s cocaine mercenaries included some interesting individuals. German-born Joachim Fiebelkorn (a neo-Nazi and informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency) was joined with Italian fascists, such as Pierluigi Pagliai (a member of the infamous P‑2 lodge discussed in AFAs 18,19) and the notorious fascist Stefano Delle Chiaie, a principal architect of the “strategy of tension.”
The strategy of tension (a major focal point of AFA-19) was an out-cropping of what Danish journalist Henrik Kruger termed “the International Fascista.” (Kruger is the author of The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence and International Fascism, published in softcover by the South End Press of Boston, copyright 1980. Mr. Emory views the work as the best individual volume ever written on the subject of the intelligence community and the narcotics trade.) A consortium of fascists in Europe and Latin America, International Fascista included numerous Latin death squad elements, elements of U.S. intelligence and the Paladin mercenary group (funded by Libyan dictator Khadafy, as well as the weapons empire of SS officer and sometime CIA operative Otto Skorzeny.) A principal figure in the postwar ODESSA organization, Skorzeny is discussed at considerable length in AFA-22.
One of the major cogs of the International Fascista was CORU, arguably the most militant and deadly of the anti-Castro Cuban organizations. CORU was involved in a string of bombings, assassinations and terrorist attacks in the mid 1970’s, including the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington D.C. CORU’s reign of terror took place when George Bush was director of the CIA, and an element of the agency appears to have been involved with it.
Program Highlights Include: “Operation Condor” (an international assassination consortium of Latin American dictatorships); a number of assassinations and attempted assassinations conducted under “Condor;” Argentine fascist and P‑2 lodge member Jose Lopez Rega; Italian fascist and Skorzeny associate Prince Justo Valerio BORGHESE; former Goebbels Propaganda Ministry official Gerhard Hartmut Von Schubert (the operating manager of the Paladin group); Paladin’s overlap with Spanish intelligence and the CIA; Operation Condor’s attempts at disguising its acts as left-wing terror; the position of the World Anti-Communist League in the milieu set forth in this broadcast

The Exodus 1947 incident unfolded when a ship carrying Jewish Holocaust survivors, who sought refuge in Palestine, was intercepted by the British navy, leading to clashes and the eventual deportation of the refugees back to Europe.[48] During World War II, Palestine served as a strategically significant location for British military operations against Axis forces in North Africa.[48] The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, collaborated with Nazi Germany while in exile during World War II.[50]

In 1947, the United Nations proposed a partition plan for Palestine, suggesting separate Jewish and Arab states, but it was rejected by the Palestinians and by neighboring Arab nations, leading to the outbreak of a civil war in Palestine, the first phase of the broader 1948 Palestine war.[48]

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train
of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with
the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or
supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the
Orientalist von Hammer alleges) connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a
historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater
power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities
of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of
organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and
[folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

The Knight’s Templar was expelled from the Papacy in 1312 by Pope Clement V and Philip IV of France. The few Templars who escaped went to the powerful kingdom of Aragon and became known as the Order of the Calatrava, who would later align with the the Montessa. In 1534, a Spanish nobleman by the name of Ignatius Loyola would revive the Templars and call them the "Society of Jesus." Loyola was a Templar, and a member of a secret society called the "Alumbrados." The third Superior General and co-founder of the order was Francis Borgia. The Borgia bloodline is part of the notorious "Black Nobility" which dates back to the ancient Ptolemaic period in history."

The Order of Calatrava (Spanish: Orden de Calatrava, Portuguese: Ordem de Calatrava) was one of the four Spanish military orders and the first military order founded in Castile, but the second to receive papal approval. The papal bull confirming the Order of Calatrava was given by Pope Alexander III on September 26, 1164. Most of the political and military power of the order had dissipated by the end of the 15th century, but the last dissolution of the order's property did not occur until 1838.'
Modern Times
In 1931, once again unilaterally, the Second Spanish Republic suppressed the Spanish Orders. To survive, they had to resort to the Ley de Asociaciones Civiles ("Law of Civil Associations"), leading a precarious existence until the Concordat of 1953 recognized the Priory. Afterward, by the papal bull Constat militarium, the Priory was reduced to a mere title of the Bishop of Ciudad Real.In 1980, upon request by his august father, who was appointed Dean President of the Council, King Juan Carlos I by royal initiative caused the rebirth of the Orders. Under the Apostolic Pastoral Tertio millennio adveniente, the Spanish Orders began their renewal in 1996.Today, the aim of the Spanish Orders is basically the same as they had when founded: the defense of the Catholic faith. The sword has been put aside, but their doctrine, example, self-sanctification, and divine worship remain active, aside from their cultural and social activities.Their two hundred and fifty members guard the spirit and life of the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara, and Montesa under their Grand Master, King Felipe VI, and the Real Consejo de las Órdenes (Royal Council of the Orders) presided over by his Royal Highness Pedro of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria.[4]The Swiss luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe took the cross of the order in 1887 and established it as its company logo as a tribute to the knights, which remains until today.[5][6]

The Oculus was positioned as part of the World Trade Center masterplan by Daniel Libeskind and designed by SANTIAGO CALATRAVA.

17 Years Ago, Donald Trump Bragged on 9/11: My Building Is Now 'the Tallest' in Lower Manhattan
A resurfaced September 11, 2001 interview with Donald Trump reveals the then-real estate mogul boasting about the fact that his building had become the tallest in Lower Manhattan after the collapse of the Twin Towers during the 9/11 terrorist attacks

A resurfaced September 11, 2001 interview with Donald Trump reveals the then-real estate mogul boasting about the fact that his building had just become the tallest in Lower Manhattan after the collapse of the Twin Towers during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Trump phoned into New Jersey’s WWOR-TV/UPN 9 News on 9/11 to discuss the horrific attacks that had taken place just hours earlier. During the conversation, the now-president can be heard commenting that his building at 40 Wall Street “actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually — before the World Trade Center — was the tallest.
“And then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it’s the tallest,” he continued.
Trump’s entire conversation with the news station lasted around 10 minutes. He also recalled seeing the explosion from him office window, and noted, “It’s just gone and it’s just hard to believe.”
Asked how New Yorkers could endure such a tragedy, Trump said, “The big thing that you really will have to do is never forget. You just can’t forget that something like this happened.”
He was further prodded about how he would have handled the attacks if he were president. Said Trump, “Boy, would you have to take a hard line on this. This just can’t be tolerated.”
This year, on the 17th anniversary of the terror attacks, the president came under fire for greeting supporters with a triumphant double fist pump as he arrived to a 9/11 memorial service.
Trump, 72, along with his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, 48, were in Pennsylvania, on their way to pay their respects to the fallen heroes of United Airlines Flight 93.
As more than one Twitter critic noted, Trump first marked Tuesday’s 9/11 anniversary “with an angry morning tweet about Russia and Hillary Clinton.”
Others criticized the tone of a tweet the president sent out on his way to the memorial event, which read, “17 years since September 11th!”
Last year, the president and his wife observed a moment of silence on the White House South Lawn to mark the 16th anniversary of the attacks.
During a ceremony at the Pentagon later in the day, Trump — who was joined by the first lady, Defense Secretary James Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford — said, “Our values will endure. Our people will thrive. Our nation will prevail and the memory of our loved ones will never, ever die.”
“The terrorists who attacked us thought they could incite fear and weaken our spirit but America cannot be intimidated,” Trump continued. “And those who try will soon join the long list of vanquished enemies who dared to test our mettle.”

Todd Morgan Beamer was an American passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked and crashed as part of the September 11 attacks in 2001. He was one of the passengers who attempted to regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers."
"Following this, the passengers and flight crew decided to act.[1] According to accounts of cell phone conversations, Beamer, along with Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, and Jeremy Glick, formed a plan to take the plane back from the hijackers.[10] They were joined by other passengers, including Lou Nacke, Rich Guadagno, Alan Beaven, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, Linda Gronlund, and William Cashman, along with flight attendants Sandra Bradshaw and CeeCee Lyles, in discussing their options and voting on a course of action, ultimately deciding to storm the cockpit and take over the plane.[1] Beamer told Jefferson that the group was planning to "jump on" the hijackers and fly the plane into the ground before the hijackers' plan could be followed through.[7][8] Beamer recited the Lord's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm with Jefferson, prompting others to join in. Beamer requested of Jefferson, "If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them." After this, Jefferson heard muffled voices and Beamer clearly answering, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's ROLL." These were the last words spoken by Beamer heard by Lisa Jefferson.[1][8][9]

Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams" is an assertion made by September 11th, 2001 attack conspiracy theorists that the burning fuel from crashed planes would not have been able to melt the supporting beams of the World Trade Center. The claim is widely mocked online for being based on flawed evidence.

Six months after the Twin Towers fell, they returned in the form of two blue beams of light illuminating the Manhattan skyline. Since then, they have lit the sky annually as a Sept. 11 commemoration known as Tribute in Light. The tradition will continue this year to remember the 14th anniversary of the attacks.

A Blue Mass is a Mass celebrated annually throughout the United States[1] in the Catholic Church for those employed in the "public safety field" (i.e. police officers, firefighters, correctional officers, 911 operators and EMS personnel).[2] The color blue relates to the blue-colored uniforms predominantly used by these services.[3] Similar to the Red Mass, the service honors those who have died in the line of duty and those currently serving as first responders.[4] The Mass is an opportunity for the community to show gratitude to first responders and their families.[5]

The story behind this image of slain Davis police officer Natalie CORONA
By Lisa Fernandez and KTVU Published January 12, 2019 Updated December 28, 2020 California KTVU FOX 2
DAVIS, Calif. (KTVU) - In the image, she's wearing a royal BLUE gown, carrying a black-striped American flag with a thin blue line streaked across it.
Her heels are high. Her hair is done. Her smile is beaming. And she's standing in the middle of Leesville Grade Road next to a field in Williams, Colusa County, population 21,000, in California's Central Valley, where her father was a sheriff's deputy and now a county supervisor.
It's this compelling photograph of slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona that circulated throughout the country on Friday, hours after the 22-year-old was shot to death by a suspect identified on Saturday as Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48. A note found on his bed inside his home, where he later killed himself, stated that he believed Davis police bombarded him with ultrasonic waves."

ROLLback of governments hostile to the U.S. took place during World War II (against Fascist Italy in 1943, Nazi Germany in 1945, and Imperial Japan in 1945), Afghanistan (against the Taliban in 2001), and Iraq (against Saddam Hussein in 2003). When directed against an established government, rollback is sometimes called "regime change".[2]

In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima. "The Mother of God" was a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds. As a result, the Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat. "Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public relations to the Muslim world. The Arabs thought they were honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe. "As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the Orthodox religion and make Russia Roman Catholic." A few years after he lost World war II, Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phoney dancing sun vision to keep Fatima in the news. It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it. "Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision. As a result, a group of followers has grown into a BLUE Army world-wide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to die for the blessed virgin. "But we haven't seen anything yet. The Jesuits have their Virgin Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and major appearance in the U.S.
"What has this got to do with Islam?
Note Bishop Sheen's statement: "Our Lady's appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the world's 350 million Muslims. After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she "is the most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary."
"He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ's virgin birth, will come to believe in His divinity.
"Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are now coming into the Roman Catholic Church."

A Look at the Museum’s Memorial Hall
“No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time.”
This quote from Book IX of "The Aeneid" by the Roman poet Virgil suggests the transformative potential of remembrance and is indicative of the museum’s mission to honor and remember the victims of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. Each letter was forged from pieces of recovered World Trade Center steel by New Mexico artist Tom Joyce.These words are part of a larger art installation in the 9/11 Memorial Museum created in 2014 by artist Spencer Finch, titled “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.” The installation is the focal point for Memorial Hall, the area between the two main exhibitions at bedrock in the museum.Every one of the 2,983 watercolor squares is its own shade of BLUE – one for each of the 2001 and 1993 attack victims – and the artwork as a whole revolves around the idea of memory. Our own perception of the color blue might not be the same as that of another person. But, just like our perception of color, our memories share a common point of reference.By Jordan Friedman, 9/11 Memorial Research and Digital Projects Associate "

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. Rosicrucians have no organisation and there are no recognizable Rosicrucian individuals, but the order makes its presence known by leaving behind engrammatic writings in the genre of Hermetic-Platonic Christianity.1 The historical roots of Hermeticism is to be located in Ancient Egypt. Long before the rise of Christianity, Hermetic texts were structured around the belief that organisms contain sparks of a Divine mind unto which they each strive to attend. Things easily transform into others, thereby generating certain cyclical patterns, cycles that periodically renew themselves on a cosmic scale. These transformations of life and death were enacted in the Hermetic Mysteries in Ancient Egypt through the gods Isis, Horus, and Osiris. In the Alexandrian period these myths were reshaped into Hermetic discourses on the transformations of the self with Thot, the scribal god. These discourses were introduced in the west in 1474 when Marsilio Ficino translated the Hermetic Pimander from the Greek. The story of Christian Rosencreutz can be seen as a new version of these mysteries, specifically tempered by German Paracelsian philosophy on the Lion of the darkest night, a biblical icon for how the higher self lies slumbering in consciousness.2
Rose Cross Over The Baltic

The Rose-Croix Adepts respected the dominant, hierarchical, and revealed religion. Consequently they could no more be the enemies of the Papacy than of legitimate Monarchy; and if they conspired against the Popes and Kings, it was because they considered them personally as apostates from duty and supreme favorers of anarchy. What, in fact, is a despot, spiritual or temporal, but a crowned anarchist? One of the magnificent pantacles that express the esoteric and unutterable part of Science, is a Rose, of Light, in the centre of which a human form extends its arms in the form of a cross. Commentaries and studies have been multiplied upon the Divine Comedy, the work of Dante, and yet no one, so far as we know, has pointed out its especial character. The work of the great Ghibellin is a declaration of war against the Papacy, by bold revelations of the Mysteries. The Epic of Dante is Johannite and Gnostic, an audacious application, like that of the Apocalypse, of the figures and numbers of the Kabalah to the Christian dogmas, and a secret negation of every thing absolute in these dogmas. His journey through the supernatural worlds is accomplished like the initiation into the Mvsteries of Eleusis and Thebes. He escapes from that gulf of Hell over the gate of which the sentence of despair was written, by reversing the positions of his head and feet, that is to say, by accepting the direct opposite of the Catholic dogma; and then he reascends to the light, by using the Devil himself as a monstrous ladder. Faust ascends to Heaven, bv stepping on the head of the vanquished Mephistopheles. Hell is impassable for those only who know not how to turn back from it. We free ourselves from its bondage by audacitv. His Hell is but a negative Purgatory. His Heaven is composed of a series of Kabalistic circles, divided by a cross, like the Pantacle of Ezekiel. Tn the centre of this cross blooms a rose, and we see the symbol of the Adepts of the Rose-Croix for the first time publicly expounded and almost cateeoricallv explained.
For the first time, because Ouillaume de Lorris, who died in 1260, five years before the birth of Alighieri, had not completed KNIGHT KADOSH. 823 his Roman de la Rose, which was continued by Chopinel, a half century afterward. One is astonished to discover that the Roman de la Rose and the Divina Commedia are two opposite forms of one and the same work, initiation into independence of spirit, a satire on all contemporary institutions, and the allegorical formula of the great Secrets of the Society of the Roses-Croix.
The important manifestations of Occultism coincide with the period of the fall of the Templars ; since Jean de Meung or Chopinel, contemporary of the old age of Dante, flourished during the best years of his life at the Court of Philippe le Bel. The Roman de la Rose is the Epic of old France. It is a profound book, under the form of levity, a revelation as learned as that of Apuleius, of the Mysteries of Occultism. The Rose of Flamel, that of Jean de Meung and that o'f Dante, grew on the same stem.
Swedenborg's system was nothing else than the Kabalah, minus the principle of the Hierarchy. It is the Temple, without the keystone and the foundation.
Cagliostro was the Agent of the Templars,- and therefore wrote to the Free-Masons of London that the time had come to begin the work of re-building the Temple of the Eternal. He had introduced into Masonry a new Rite called the Egyptian, and endeavored to resuscitate the mysterious worship of Isis. The three letters L.\ P.'. D.\ on his seal, were the initials of the words "Lilia pedibus destrue;" tread under foot the Lilies [of France], and a Masonic medal of the sixteenth or seventeenth century has upon it a sword cutting off the stalk of a lily, and the words "talem dabit ultio messem," such harvest revenge will give.
A Lodge inaugurated under the auspices of Rousseau, the fanatic of Geneva, became the centre of the revolutionary movement in France, and a Prince of the blood-royal went thither to swear the destruction of the successors of Philippe le Bel on the tomb of Jacques de Molai. The registers of the Order of Templars attest that the Regent, the Due d' Orleans, was Grand Master of that formidable Secret Society, and that his successors were the Due de Maine, the Prince of Bourbon-Conde, and the Due de Cosse-Brissac.
The Templars compromitted the King; they saved him from the rage of the People, to exasperate that rage and bring on the catastrophe prepared for centuries ; it was a scaffold that the vengeance of the Templars demanded. The secret movers of the French Revolution had sworn to overturn the Throne and the Altar upon the Tomb of Jacques de Molai. When Louis XVI. was executed, half the work was done; and thenceforward the \rmy of the Temple was to direct all its efforts against the Pope. Jacques de Molai and his companions were perhaps martyrs, but their avengers dishonored their memory. Royalty was regenerated on the scaffold of Louis XVI., the Church triumphed in the captivity of Pius VI., carried a prisoner to Valence, arid dying of fatigue and sorrow, but the successors of the Ancient Knights of the Temple perished, overwhelmed in their fatal victory.
Morals and Dogma

Between 1614 and 1617, three anonymous manifestos were published, first in Germany and soon after throughout Europe:[11] the Fama Fraternitatis RC (The Fame of the Brotherhood of RC, 1614), the Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of RC, 1615), and the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosicross anno 1459 (1616).
The Fama Fraternitatis presents the legend of a German doctor and mystic philosopher referred to as "Father Brother C.R.C." (later identified in a third manifesto as Christian Rosenkreuz, or "Rose-cross"). The year 1378 is presented as being the birth year of "our Christian Father," and it is stated that he lived 106 years. It is said that he studied in the Middle East under various masters – a story implying a possible link to Islamic mysticism or Sufism, which influenced a number of Western esoteric traditions.[12]
During the lifetime of C.R.C., the order was said to comprise no more than eight members, each a doctor and "all bachelors of vowed virginity."[13] Each member undertook an oath to heal the sick without accepting payment, to maintain a secret fellowship, and to find a replacement for himself before he died. Three such generations had supposedly passed between c. 1500 and c. 1600: a time when scientific, philosophical, and religious freedom had grown so that the public might benefit from the Rosicrucians' knowledge, so that they were now seeking good men.[14]
Rose-Cross Degrees in Freemasonry
18° Knight of the Rose Croix jewel (from the Masonic Scottish Rite)
According to Jean Pierre Bayard,[28] two Rosicrucian-inspired Masonic rites emerged toward the end of 18th century, the Rectified Scottish Rite, widespread in Central Europe where there was a strong presence of the "Golden and Rosy Cross", and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, first practiced in France, in which the 18th degree is called Knight of the Rose Croix.
The change from "operative" to "speculative" Masonry occurred between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 18th century. Two of the earliest speculative Masons for whom a record of initiation exists were Sir Robert Moray and Elias Ashmole. Robert Vanloo states that earlier 17th century Rosicrucianism had a considerable influence on Anglo-Saxon Masonry. Hans Schick sees in the works of Comenius (1592–1670) the ideal of the newly born English Masonry before the foundation of the Grand Lodge in 1717. Comenius was in England during 1641.
The Gold und Rosenkreuzer (Golden and Rosy Cross) was founded by the alchemist Samuel Richter who in 1710 published Die warhhaffte und vollkommene Bereitung des Philosophischen Steins der Brüderschaft aus dem Orden des Gülden-und Rosen-Creutzes (The True and Complete Preparation of the Philosopher's Stone by the Brotherhood from the Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross) in Breslau under the pseudonym Sincerus Renatus[29] in Prague in the early 18th century as a hierarchical secret society composed of internal circles, recognition signs and alchemy treatises. Under the leadership of Hermann Fictuld the group reformed itself extensively in 1767 and again in 1777 because of political pressure. Its members claimed that the leaders of the Rosicrucian Order had invented Freemasonry and only they knew the secret meaning of Masonic symbols. The Rosicrucian Order had been founded by Egyptian "Ormusse" or "Licht-Weise" who had emigrated to Scotland with the name "Builders from the East". In 1785 and 1788 the Golden and Rosy Cross group published the Geheime Figuren or "The Secret Symbols of the 16th and 17th century Rosicrucians".
Led by Johann Christoph von Wöllner and General Johann Rudolf von Bischoffwerder, the Masonic lodge (later: Grand Lodge) Zu den drei Weltkugeln (The Three Globes) was infiltrated and came under the influence of the Golden and Rosy Cross. Many Freemasons became Rosicrucianists and Rosicrucianism was established in many lodges. In 1782 at the Convent of Wilhelmsbad the Alte schottische Loge Friedrich zum goldenen Löwen (Old Scottish Lodge Friedrich at the Golden Lion) in Berlin strongly requested Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and all other Freemasons to submit to the Golden and Rosy Cross, without success.
After 1782, this highly secretive society added Egyptian, Greek, and Druidic mysteries to its alchemy system.[30] A comparative study of what is known about the Gold and Rosenkreuzer appears to reveal, on the one hand, that it has influenced the creation of some modern initiatory groups and, on the other hand, that the Nazis (see The Occult Roots of Nazism) may have been inspired by this German group.
According to the writings of the Masonic historian E.J. Marconis de Negre,[31] who together with his father Gabriel M. Marconis is held to be the founder of the "Rite of Memphis-Misraim" of Freemasonry, based on earlier conjectures (1784) by a Rosicrucian scholar Baron de Westerode[32] and also promulgated by the 18th century secret society called the "Golden and Rosy Cross", the Rosicrucian Order was created in the year 46 when an Alexandrian Gnostic sage named Ormus and his six followers were converted by one of Jesus' disciples, Mark. Their symbol was said to be a red cross surmounted by a rose, thus the designation of Rosy Cross. From this conversion, Rosicrucianism was supposedly born, by purifying Egyptian mysteries with the new higher teachings of early Christianity.[33]
Another notable figure for both Egyptian freemasonry and Rosicrucianism in Italy was Giustiniano Lebano[34] who held high offices in the Memphis Misraim rite and was an influential figure in the later esoteric developments of the peninsula, including influencing Giuliano Kremmerz and the members of the UR Group.[35] The Neapolitan branch of the Memphis-Misraim rite, Grande Oriente Egizio, instructed Giuliano Kremmerz to create the Brotherhood of Myriam with the aim of practising therapeutic magic for those affected by disease, including non-initiates.[36]
According to Maurice Magre (1877–1941) in his book Magicians, Seers, and Mystics, Rosenkreutz was the last descendant of the Germelshausen, a German family from the 13th century. Their castle stood in the Thuringian Forest on the border of Hesse, and they embraced Albigensian doctrines. The whole family was put to death by Landgrave Conrad of Thuringia, except for the youngest son, who was then five years old. He was carried away secretly by a monk, an Albigensian adept from Languedoc, and placed in a monastery under the influence of the Albigenses, where he was educated and met the four Brothers later to be associated with him in the founding of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. Magre's account supposedly derives from oral tradition.
Around 1530, more than eighty years before the publication of the first manifesto, the association of cross and rose already existed in Portugal in the Convent of the Order of Christ, home of the Knights Templar, later renamed Order of Christ. Three bocetes were, and still are, on the abóboda (vault) of the initiation room. The rose can clearly be seen at the center of the cross.[37][38] At the same time, a minor writing by Paracelsus called Prognosticatio Eximii Doctoris Paracelsi (1530), containing 32 prophecies with allegorical pictures surrounded by enigmatic texts, makes reference to an image of a double cross over an open rose; this is one of the examples used to prove the "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" existed far earlier than 1614.[39]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucianism
The oldest written evidence of rose cultivation comes from a tablet discussing the Akkadian king Sargon I’s military campaign to the west. Sargon brought rosebush saplings with him on the campaign so rose cultivation could begin in these newly acquired territories soon after his conquest. It was an act of supreme confidence and evidence of roses’ importance to Akkadian culture.

Sargon
SARGON sär’ gŏn (סַֽרְגֹ֖ון; Akkad. šarrukēn, “the king is legitimate”).
The name is found only once in the Bible (Isa 20:1) where it refers to Sargon II of Assyria (721-705 b.c.). This Sargon was the son of Tiglath-pileser III, successor to his brother Shalmaneser V, and father of Sennacherib. His reign is amply known from his inscrs. at Khorsabad and from letters and historical texts found at Nineveh and Nimrud. Although he is named only once in the OT, his campaigns are of importance for understanding the historical background of the prophecies of Isaiah.
Sargon II claimed the fall of Samaria (721 b.c.), which had been besieged by his predecessor Shalmaneser V for three years (2 Kings 17:5, 6) until his death in 722 b.c. According to Sargon’s records, he deported 27,290 people from the area of Samaria to Mesopotamia. During the first part of his reign he faced serious domestic problems which were settled only by grant of privileges to the citizens of Assur. In the following year (720 b.c.) Ilu-bihdi of Hamath led Arpad, Damascus, and Pal. into revolt. Sargon defeated this anti-Assyrian coalition near Qarqar in N Syria. In 720 b.c. the kingdom of Judah, under Ahaz, together with Philistia, Edom, and Moab, submitted to vassalage and paid tribute. In the following years, people deported from Babylonia, Hamath, and elsewhere were resettled in Samaria; these, with others brought in later, mingled with the surviving Israelite population, and their descendants years later were known as the Samaritans.
Sargon had scarcely completed the reduction of Samaria when he was greeted by a rebellion in Babylonia in 720 b.c. led by the Chaldean prince Marduk-apal-iddina (Biblical Merodach-baladan who ruled 721-711 b.c.) in Babylonia not simply as a barbarian chieftain but as a great Mesopotamian monarch who left behind traces of his building activities in various cities. Although backed by Humbanigash, king of Elam, an indecisive battle was fought at Der, between the Tigris and the Zagros, making it expedient for Sargon to leave Merodach-baladan as king in Babylonia. Thus Sargon lost control of Babylonia and did not regain it for c. twelve years.
Meanwhile, other campaigns claimed his attention. In Asia Minor, Mita (Midas), king of the Phrygian Mushki, proved a troublesome foe. A rebellion by the vassal state of Carchemish in Syria (717 b.c.) provoked Sargon to destroy that ancient center of Hitt. culture and deport its population, and subsequently to make various campaigns into Asia Minor. Sargon also turned on Urartu, already weakened by Tiglath-pileser III and now gravely threatened by the incursions of an Indo-Aryan barbarian people called the Cimmerians who were moving down from the Caucasus. Seizing the opportunity, Sargon broke the power of Urartu completely, thus removing an ancient rival—and Assyria’s strongest dike against the barbarian tide at the same time.
After 720 b.c. Sargon conducted no major campaign in Pal. This may have encouraged the restless vassals to imagine that he was a man who could be trifled with. By 713 b.c. Ashdod rebelled and other Philistine towns were drawn into the revolt and, as Sargon told it, Judah, Edom, and Moab were invited to join. That Egyp. aid had been promised is clear both from the Assyrian texts and the Bible (Isa 20). In fact, according to Isaiah 18, ambassadors of the Ethiopian king himself waited on Hezekiah, hoping to enlist his cooperation. Opinions were divided in Judah: to go or not. Isaiah was bitterly opposed, both calling on his king to give the Ethiopian envoys a negative answer, and symbolically illustrating (Isa 20) the folly of trusting in Egypt by walking about Jerusalem barefoot and clad only in a loincloth.
Sargon at this time was at the peak of power and preparing to reconquer Babylon. Ashdod, the center of revolt, was quickly taken by storm, and Judah, Moab, and Edom paid homage to the conqueror. The expected Egyp. aid failed completely to materialize and Judah was held in subjection. Later Hezekiah revolted against Sargon’s son, Sennacherib.
At the beginning of 710 b.c., Sargon was everywhere victorious. The whole of Syria-Pal. and most of the Zagros range were firmly in Assyrian hands; Urartu was dressing its wounds; the Egyptians were friendly; the Elamites and Phrygians were hostile but peaceful. Babylon, under Merodach-baladan, remained a thorn in the side of Assyria, and in 710 b.c. Sargon attacked it for the second time in his reign. It was a smashing victory, with Merodach-baladan fleeing to Elam for refuge, and the fame of Sargon continued to grow. The repeated efforts made by its enemies to undermine the Assyrian empire had been of no avail; at the end of Sargon’s reign it was larger and apparently stronger than ever.
As a war chief, Sargon liked to live in Kalḫu (Nimrud), the military capital of the empire, where he occupied, restored, and modified Ashurnasirpal’s palace. Moved by great pride, he soon decided to have his own palace in his own city. In 717 b.c. he laid the foundations of “Sargon’s fortress,” Dur-Sharrukin, a hitherto virgin site twelve m. NE of Nineveh, near the modern village of Khorsabad.
Ten years later the workmen completed a town which was square in plan, each side measuring c. one in. The palace itself stood on a sixty-ft. high platform overriding the city wall and comprised more than 200 rooms and thirty courtyards. The royal abode was richly decorated and the gates of the town were guarded by colossal bull-men. Evidence, however, indicates that the city was scarcely inhabited and almost immediately abandoned at the king’s death. One year after Dur Sharrukin was officially inaugurated, Sargon was killed (705 b.c.). His successors preferred Nineveh, and Khorsabad, deserted, fell slowly to ruins.

1599 Geneva Bible
20 2 The three years captivity of Egypt and Ethiopia described by the three years going naked of Isaiah.
1 In the year that [a]Tartan came to [b]Ashdod, (when [c]Sargon king of Assyria sent him) and had fought against Ashdod, and taken it,
2 At the same time spake the Lord by the hand of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the [d]sackcloth from thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and wonder upon Egypt, and Ethiopia,
4 So shall the king of Assyria take away the captivity of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, both young men and old men, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 And they shall fear, and be ashamed of [e]Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their [f]glory.
6 Then shall the inhabitants of this [g]isle say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria, and how shall we be delivered?

The Umayyad Caliphate conquered the Visigothic Kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. The conquest resulted in the end of Christian rule throughout most of Iberia and the establishment of Muslim rule in that territory, which came to be known as al-Andalus under the Umayyad dynasty.
During the reign of the sixth Umayyad caliph al-Walid I (r. 705–715), military commander Tariq ibn Ziyad departed from North Africa under the command of Musa ibn Nusayr in early 711 to cross the Straits of Gibraltar, with a force of about 1,700 men, to launch a military expedition against the Visigothic Kingdom based in Toledo, which encompassed the former territory of Roman Hispania.[1][2][3][4] After defeating King Roderic at the Battle of Guadalete in July the same year, Tariq was reinforced by an Arab force led by his superior wali Musa ibn Nusayr and continued northward.[5][6]
In 713, Theodemir, the Visigothic count of Murcia conditionally surrendered, and in 715, Abd al-Aziz ibn Musa was named the first governor of Al-Andalus, naming Seville as his capital. By 717, the Umayyads had invaded Gaul to launch their first raids into Septimania. By 719, Barcelona and Narbonne had also been captured. From 740 to 742, the invasion was then disrupted by the Berber Revolt, and in 755 when an Abbasid force led by Yusuf ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Fihri landed to claim the territory from the Umayyads. However, an Umayyad army was decisively defeated by Pelagius of Asturias at the Battle of Covadonga in the mountains of Asturias, securing a Christian stronghold in Northern Spain.
By 781, Abd al-Rahman I had quashed all rebellions and rivals and consolidated Umayyad rule over an almost wholly reunified Iberia, a presence that would remain until the Reconquista, which was aimed at reclaiming the entire Iberian Peninsula for Christianity.[7]

Asāsiyyūn (أساسيون) refers to a debated etymology of the "Order of Assassins" (Nizari Isma'ilis), translating to "people who are faithful to the foundations" or "people of principle". While popular history often links "assassin" to hashshāshīn (hashish-users), many argue this was a slur, and the group actually used Asāsiyyūn to highlight their dedication to their faith's fundamentals.

Al-Andalus[a] (Arabic: الأَنْدَلُس) was the Muslim-ruled area of the Iberian Peninsula. The term is used by modern historians for the former Islamic states in modern Spain, Portugal[1] and France. The name describes the different Muslim[2][3] states that controlled these territories at various times between 711 and 1492. At its greatest geographical extent, it occupied most of the peninsula[4][5][6] and part of present-day southern France (Septimania) under Umayyad rule. These boundaries changed constantly through a series of conquests Western historiography has traditionally characterized as the Reconquista,[2][3][7][8][9] eventually shrinking to the south and finally to the Emirate of Granada.

The idea of uniting the Templars with the Hospitallers was first argued publicly in a book published in 1305 by Raimon Llull, a renowned illuminatus from Majorca. Llull’s book, Libre de Fine, (“Free At Last”) appeared in the midst of a raging controversy between the French monarchy and the Roman papacy over who held jurisdiction over the Templars. That is the subject of our next chapter.

Jews and the Knights Templar – a complex relationship
Thousands of Jewish people around the world are taking up an invitation from the Portuguese government to return to Portugal. Their ancestors were forced out of the country by the Inquisition from the 15th century onwards. And it seems a good moment to look back at the relationship between Portuguese Jews and the Knights Templar in Portugal.

Although in the first 30 years of the existence of the Society of Jesus there were many Jesuits who were conversos (Catholic-convert Jews and Muslims and their descendants), an anti-converso faction led to the Decree de genere (1593) which proclaimed that either Jewish or Muslim ancestry, no matter how distant, was an insurmountable impediment for admission to the Society of Jesus.[191]

Himmler used the Jesuits as the model for the SS, since he found they had the core elements of absolute obedience and the cult of the organisation.[59][60] Hitler is said to have called Himmler "my Ignatius of Loyola".[59] As an order, the SS needed a coherent doctrine that would set it apart.[61] Himmler attempted to construct such an ideology, and deduced a "pseudo-Germanic tradition" from history.[61]

From modest beginnings the SS (Schutzstaffel; Protection Squadrons), became a virtual state within a state in Nazi Germany, staffed by men who perceived themselves as the “racial elite” of Nazi future.
In the Nazi state, the SS assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis. The SS controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system. The SS conceived and implemented plans designed to restructure the ethnic composition of eastern Europe and the occupied Soviet Union.
From 1939, the SS assumed responsibility for “solving” the so-called Jewish Question; after 1941, its leadership planned, coordinated and directed the so-called Final Solution of the Jewish Question. This “solution” was the annihilation of the European Jews, which we now refer to as the Holocaust

Led by this experience, they formed an apostolic group rooted in charity, in which, after they had taken the vows of chastity and poverty and had been raised to the priesthood, they offered themselves as a HOLOCAUST to God,[2] so that serving as soldiers of God beneath the banner of the cross and serving the Lord alone and the Church his spouse under the Roman Pontiff, the vicar of Christ on earth,[3] they would be sent into the entire world[4] for the defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress of souls in Christian life and doctrine.

The ratlines (German: Rattenlinien) were systems of escape routes used by Nazis and their collaborators to flee Europe from 1945 onwards in the aftermath of World War II. These routes mainly led toward havens in South America – particularly Argentina – in addition to Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay. Some escapees also settled at the various transfer points or used them to flee elsewhere.
Two primary routes from Germany to South America developed independently with their operators eventually collaborating; the first transferred through Spain and the second through Rome and Genoa. The ratlines were supported by some clergy of the Catholic Church, such as Austrian bishop Alois Hudal and Croatian priest Krunoslav Draganović, as well as some outlets of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Nazis paid Argentine officials (starting c. 1943) to shield their agents, bolstering the rise of Juan Perón, whose regime set up additional ratlines through Scandinavia and Switzerland.
Significant Nazis and their collaborators escaped, including Ustaše leader Ante Pavelić, as well as SS officers Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele, both perpetrators of the Holocaust. Starting in 1947, the United States utilized Draganović's network and an official at the International Refugee Organization to aid the escape of some Soviet defectors and informants, as well as Gestapo leader Klaus Barbie (who had traded intel with the U.S. Army while being held in Austria). Decades later, the ratlines remain a subject of investigation[b] and cultural interest.

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.
The effort began in earnest in 1945, as the Allies advanced into Germany and discovered a wealth of scientific talent and advanced research that had contributed to Germany's wartime technological advancements. The US Joint Chiefs of Staff officially established Operation Overcast (operations "Overcast" and "Paperclip" were related, and the terms are often used interchangeably) on July 20, 1945, with the dual aims of leveraging German expertise for the ongoing war effort against Japan and to bolster US postwar military research. The operation, conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), was largely actioned by special agents of the US Army's Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). Many selected scientists were involved in the Nazi rocket program, aviation, or chemical/biological warfare. The Soviet Union in the following year conducted a similar program, called Operation Osoaviakhim, that emphasized many of the same fields of research.
The operation, characterized by the recruitment of German specialists and their families, relocated more than 1500 experts to the US. It has been valued at US$10 billion in patents and industrial processes. Recruits included such notable figures as Wernher von Braun, a leading rocket-technology scientist. Those recruited were instrumental in the development of the US space program and military technology during the Cold War. Despite its contributions to American scientific advances, Operation Paperclip has been controversial because of the Nazi affiliations of many recruits, and the ethics of assimilating individuals associated with war crimes into American society.
The operation was not solely focused on rocketry; it also transferred expertise in aerodynamics, aviation medicine, and related military research. Its technological legacy was especially visible in the transformation of German V-2 rocket technology into later American missile and launch systems. After moving to Redstone Arsenal in 1950, Wernher von Braun’s team developed the Redstone and Jupiter missiles. When this group was transferred to NASA in 1960, it became central to the work of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the development of the Saturn launch vehicles used in the Apollo program. The related Mercury-Redstone rocket also carried Alan Shepard on the first American human spaceflight.[1][2]
In aeronautics, German high-speed flight research and aerodynamic knowledge contributed to postwar American aircraft and missile development. In aviation medicine, German specialists contributed to early space medicine research in the United States, including studies on weightlessness, life-support systems, and human performance in extreme conditions.[3][4]
Operation Paperclip was part of a broader strategy by the US to harness German scientific talent in the face of emerging Cold War tensions, and ensuring this expertise did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union or other nations. The operation's legacy has remained controversial in subsequent decades.

MKUltra[a] was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in altering human behavior.[1] The term MKUltra is a CIA cryptonym: "MK" is an arbitrary prefix standing for the Office of Technical Service and "Ultra" is an arbitrary word out of a dictionary used to name this project. The program has been widely condemned as a violation of individual rights and an example of the CIA's abuse of power, with critics highlighting its disregard for consent and its corrosive impact on democratic principles.[2]
Project MKUltra began in 1953 and was halted in 1973. MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects' mental states and brain functions, such as the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals without the subjects' consent. Additionally, other methods beyond chemical compounds were used, including electroshocks,[3] hypnosis,[4][5] sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and other forms of torture.[6][7]
Project MKUltra was preceded by Project Artichoke.[8][9] It was organized through the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence and coordinated with the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.[10] The program engaged in illegal activities,[11][12][13] including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as unwitting test subjects.[11]: 74 [14][15][16] MKUltra's scope was broad, with activities carried out under the guise of research at more than 80 institutions aside from the military, including colleges and universities, hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies.[17] The CIA operated using front organizations, although some top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA's involvement.[11]
Project MKUltra was revealed to the public in 1975 by the Church Committee (named after Senator Frank Church) of the United States Congress and Gerald Ford's United States President's Commission on CIA Activities within the United States (the Rockefeller Commission). Investigative efforts were hampered by CIA director Richard Helms's order that all MKUltra files be destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the small number of documents that survived Helms's order.[18] In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings.[11][19] Some surviving information about MKUltra was declassified in 2001.

Correspondents’ dinner chaos offset by viral clip of man eating salad
April 27, 2026 at 6:24 am
By Theresa Braine
New York Daily News
As guests dove for cover and Secret Service agents spirited high-level federal officials out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, one man could be seen casually finishing his salad.
Michael Glantz, a senior agent with Creative Artists Agency, appeared unperturbed amid the chaos as Secret Service agents swirled around him and freaked-out fellow diners huddled under their tables.
Elsewhere in the room, one journalist could be seen pouring himself another glass of wine — perhaps understandable under the circumstances — and other guests apparently grabbed bottles on their way out.
But Glantz was the only one to go viral.
The approximately 2,000 attendees of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner had barely dug into their spring pea and burrata salad when a series of apparent gunshots rang out on the other side of the doors to the ballroom at the Washington Hilton. Heavily armed Secret Service agents burst in, charging through the dining area to fetch federal officials, including President Donald Trump, and hustle them offstage. They also yelled at everyone to get down, and scores of journalists, celebrities and other public officials huddled under their tables.
Glantz remained upright at his otherwise empty table, and his nonchalant noshing was caught on a CNN livestream of the room.
Social media went wild, dubbing him “the salad man,” according to The New York Times. CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter identified him as Glantz, who represents the network’s Wolf Blitzer.
“CAA superagent Michael Glantz is the man eating his salad in this viral video,” Stelter wrote on X above a clip of the incident.
Glantz pleaded curiosity. He didn’t want to miss a second of the action, he told TMZ.
“Not every day you see something like that go down,” Glantz said.
Besides, he told The New York Times, he has a bad back and couldn’t actually get onto the floor or get up off it. That combined with his “hygiene freak” streak made him choose salad over sullying his new tux on the ballroom floor.
“I’m a New Yorker,” he told The New York Times, explaining his aplomb. “We live with sirens and activity happening all the time. I wasn’t scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch.”
Glantz was also glad to supply some levity in the wake of the “horrific moment,” he told TMZ.
An instant fan club of sorts coalesced around Glantz.
“A very chill man, I didn’t see him flinch for a sec, didn’t duck, didn’t even put his fork down, and while the Secret Service scrambled and everyone else hit the floor, he just kept eating like the moment was someone else’s problem and he was vindicated in the end,” wrote one admirer on X. “Absolute legend.”

The stage [dear listeners] was set
for clerical hatred of the Templars and Hospitallers (who had similar privileges) [and in fact were one and the same and still
are today], although the advantages to the Pope from the combined support of these two Orders could hardly be
overestimated.
In 1184 an incident occurred which inspired a great deal of distrust of the Order, although the rarity of its occurrence
should have underlined the fact that it was nothing of much consequence. [You see,] the English knight, Robert of St. Albans
left the Templars, became a Moslem, and led an army for Saladin against Jerusalem, then in the hands of the Franks. The
charge against the Templars that they were secret Mussulmans or allies with the Saracens does not seem borne out by the fact
that Saladin accused them of treacherous truce-breaking and other crimes and—unlike his usual chivalrous self—took a
solemn oath that he would execute such Templar captives as he could obtain, as “beyond the limits of Islam and infidelity
alike.” Nor did they make any [attempts] to invoke any religious bond with Saladin when they were captured, as we know from
the Arabic Life of Saladin written contemporaneously by his secretary, Qadi Yusuf. Strong evidence of this is given in the
events which followed the terrible Battle of Hittin. Two years before, Saladin had made a pact with the Assassins that they
would give him a free hand to continue his Holy War against the Franks [which we discussed on an earlier program]. On July
1st, 1187, he captured Tiberias. He attacked nearby Hittin at dawn on Friday, July 3rd. Thirty thousand [Christians; 30,000
Christians!] were captured, including the King of Jerusalem. No Templar [not one] is mentioned in the detailed Arab account
as asking for mercy on religious or other grounds, although all knew that Saladin had issued a war-cry: “Come to death,
Templars!” The Grand Master, Gerard of Ridefort, and several other knights were among those taken. Saladin offered them
their lives if they would see the light of the True Faith. [Well, according to history,] none accepted, and all these knights were
beheaded except, admittedly, the Templar Grand Master. [Could it be that he did accept the true faith, or the “light of the true
faith,” as Saladin had put it?] A non-Templar, Reginald of Chatillon, tried to invoke the sacred code of Arab hospitality, and
other Crusaders claimed that they were Moslems, and were spared: none of them were Templars or Hospitallers. Reginald
and the Templars collectively were sentenced to death for breaking the truce and the “war crime” of killing unarmed pilgrims
to Mecca. Arab accounts include only a few references which could be construed as indicating any collusion with the
Christian army. One says that on the Friday at midday ([and] the battle lasted for two days), Sultan Saladin issued the attack
cry to be passed along the Sarasin host, “On for Islam!”, at which the striped banner of the Templars was raised, “and the Emir
Lion-of-the-Faith said, ‘Are those Sultan (Saladin) Yusef’s allies, of whom I have heard from the Reconnaisance men?’” [Well,]
this cannot be regarded as anything at all conclusive. The only other reference is to a body of Templars who went over to the
Saracen side, and whose supposed descendants survive to this day as the Salibiyya ([which means] Crusader) tribe in north
Arabia.
This engagement [folks] spelt the end of real Western power in Palestine for over seven hundred years, although it did
stimulate the unsuccessful Third Crusade. Although the Templars—and some other Crusaders—were still in the Holy Land,
116
they had lost almost all of their possessions there. But in the West lay the real seat of their power. At this time their European
possessions numbered over seven thousand estates and foundations. Although principally concentrated in France and
England, they had extensive properties in Portugal, Castile, Leon, Scotland and Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Sicily. When
Jerusalem was lost, their headquarters were transferred to Paris. This building, like all their branch churches, was known as
the Temple. It was here that the French King Philip the Fair took refuge in 1306, to escape a civil commotion.113 It is said that
this visit gave him his first insight into the real wealth of the order: [Now, remember, the wealth was not for the members, for
they practiced the first true Socialism—international Socialism, or Communism.] the fabulous treasures which his host
showed him giving the bankrupt monarch the idea to plunder the knights on the pretext that they were dominated by
heresies.
Phillip the Fair was not entirely without some grounds for attacking the Templars. [For] in 1208 we find Pope Innocent
III, a great friend of the Order, censuring them publicly for “Causing their churches to be thrown open for Mass to be said
every day with loud ringing of bells, bearing the cross of Christ on their breasts but not caring to follow his doctrines which
forbid to giving offense to any of the little ones who believe in him. Following the doctrines of demons, they affix their cross
of their Order upon the breast of every kind of scoundrel, asserting that whoever by paying two or three pence a year became
one of their fraternity could not, even if interdicted, be deprived of Christian burial . . . and thus they themselves, being
captive to the devil, cease not to make captive the souls of the faithful, seeking to make alive those whom they knew to be
dead . . .”
The first sign of an attempt to bring some sort of physical restraint upon the Templars came from Henry III of England.
[For] in 1252 he hinted that he might try to seize some of the property of the Order: “You prelates and religious,” he said,
“especially you Templars and Hospitallers, have so many liberties and charters that your enormous possessions make you rave
with pride and haughtiness. What was imprudently given must therefore be prudently revoked; and what was inconsiderately
bestowed must be considerately recalled.” [Those were the words of the King.]
The Master of the Templars immediately replied: “What sayest thou, O King? Far be it that thy mouth should utter so
disagreeable and silly a word. So long as thou dost exercise justice thou wilt reign; but if thou infringe it, thou wilt cease to be
King!”
[Now remember that the Knights Templar at that time were the very first international bankers. They were the wealthiest
Order, wealthiest group, then known in the world—even surpassing the kings of the different countries that existed. And even
though the Hospitallers were created before the Knights Templar, eventually the two became the same Order, though to the
public and to the rulers of Europe, they were different orders with different names.]
The haughty Templars of the fourteenth century owned land and revenues, gained steadily in honor and importance.
They might have thrones had they wanted them; for such was their power towards the end that, banded together (as one
historian points out), they could have overcome more than one of the smaller countries of Europe. Perhaps, though, they
aimed even higher than that. If their eventual aim was world hegemony, they could not have organized themselves better, or
planned their aristocratic hierarchy more thoroughly. [And you will see that that's been carried over even onto the modern
day.] The pride, arrogance, and complete confidence and self-sufficiency of the Order is something which shows through even
the least inspired pages of the chroniclers. Their power was legendary:
“Everywhere they had churches, chapels, tithes, farms, villages, mills, rights of pasturage, of fishing, of venery, of wood.
They had also in many places the right of holding annual fairs which were managed and the tolls received by some of the
brethren of the nearest houses or by their donates or servants. The number of their preceptories is, by the most moderate
computation, rated at nine thousand; the annual income of the Order put at about six million [pounds] sterling: an
[unbelievable, unimaginable] sum for those times! Masters of such a revenue, descended from the noblest houses in
113 Just the year before, Philip had fled from a bloodthirsty mob, angry at the king for debasing the national currency.
Dungeon, Fire and Sword, p.430
117
Christendom, uniting in their purses the most esteemed secular and religious characters, regarded as the chosen champions
of Christ and the flower of Christian knights, it was not possible for the Templars, in such lax times as the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries, to escape falling into the vices of extravagant luxury and overweening pride.”
The Order, [folks] when fully developed, was composed of several classes: chiefly knights, chaplains and serving-brothers.
Affiliated were those who were attached to the Order in worked for and received its protection, without taking its vows.
[And] this affiliation was said to be derived from the Arab 'clientship' association, analogous to blood-brotherhood in tribal
associations.
A candidate for knighthood should prove that he was of a knightly family and entitled [yes, entitled] to the distinction.
His father must have been a knight or eligible to become one. He had to prove beyond any doubt that he was born in wedlock.
The reason for this last requirement was said to be not only religious: there was the possibility that a political head such as a
king or prince might influence the Order by managing to have one of his bastard sons enter it, later perhaps to rise to high
rank therein, and finally attaching it to the service of his dominion.
The candidate [for initiation] had to be unmarried and free from all obligations. He should have made no vow, nor
entered any other Order; and he was not to be in debt. Eventually the competition for admission was so great from eligible
people that a very high fee was exacted from those who were to be monk-warriors of the Temple.
All candidates were to be knighted before entry into the Order. But the period of probation which was originally
demanded was before very long entirely abolished. No young man could be admitted until he was twenty-one years of age,
because he was to be a soldier as well as a monk, and this was the minimum age at which he could bear arms.
When a new knight was admitted to the Order, the ceremony was held in secret. This fact, and persistent rumors, caused
the belief that certain ceremonies and tenets were put into practice which deviated more than a little from the rituals of the
Church. The ceremony was held in one of the Order's chapels, in the presence of the assembled chapter alone.
The Master (or the Prior, who took his place in chapels other than those at which he was present) opened the
proceedings: “Beloved brethren, ye see that the majority are agreed to receive this man as a brother. If there be any among you
who knows anything of him, on account of which he cannot lawfully become a brother, let him say it; for it is better that this
should be signified beforehand than after he is brought before us.”
[And] if no objection was lodged, the aspirant was sent to a small room with two or three experienced knights, to coach
him in what he had to know: “Brother, are you desirous of being associated with the Order?” If he agreed, they would dwell
upon the trials and rigors of being a Templar. [They would prepare him for initiation.] He had to reply that for the sake of God
he was willing to undergo anything in remain in the Order for life; they asked him if he had a wife or was betrothed; had he
made vows to any other Order; did he owe money more than he could pay; was he of sound mind and body; was he the
servant of any person?
[Well,] after satisfactory answers, the result was passed to the Master. The assembled company was then asked again if
they knew anything that might disqualify him. [And] if none objected, they were asked: “Are you willing that he should be
brought in, in God's name?” The knights answered, “Let him be brought in, in God's name.”
He was now again asked by his sponsors if he still desired to enter the Order. Receiving an affirmative reply they led him
to the chapter, where he folded his hands and flung himself upon his knees: “Sir, I am come before God and before you for the
sake of God and our dear Lady, to admit me into your Society, and the good deeds of the Order, as one who will be all his life
long servant and slave of the Order.”
“Beloved brother,” answered the receptor, “you are desirous of a great matter, for you see nothing but the outward shell of
our Order.” [Now let me repeat that again in case you weren't listening, folks.] “Beloved brother,” answered the receptor, “you
are desirous of a great matter for you see nothing but the outward shell of our Order. It is only the outward shell when you see
118
that we have fine horses and rich caparisons, that we eat and drink well and are splendidly clothed. From this you conclude
that you will be well off with us. But you know not rigorous maxims which are in our interior. For it is a hard matter for you,
who are your own master, to become the servant of another. You will hardly be able to perform, in future, what you wish
yourself. For when you may wish to be on this side of the sea, you will be sent to the other side; when you will wish to be in
Acre, you will be sent to the district of Antioch, to Tripolis, or to Armenia; or you will be sent to Apulia, to Sicily, or to
Lombardy, or to Burgundy, France, England, or any other country where we have houses and possessions. [Where we wish
you to do our will.]
[Further he says:] “When you will wish to sleep, you will be ordered to watch; when you will wish to watch, then you will
be ordered to go to bed; when you will wish to eat, then you will be ordered to do something else. And as both we and you
might suffer great inconvenience from what you have mayhap concealed from us, look here on the holy evangelists and the
word of God and answer the truth to the questions which we shall put to you; for if you lie you will be perjured, and may be
expelled the Order, from which God keep you!”
Now all the former questions were asked on Holy Writ. If the answers proved acceptable, the receptor continued:
“Beloved brother, take good care that you have spoken the truth to us: for should you have spoken false in any one point,
you might be put out of the Order—from which God keep you! Now, beloved brother, attend strictly to what we shall say unto
you. Do you promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary to be, all your life long, obedient to the Master of the Temple, and to
the Prior who shall be set over you?”
[And initiate answers with:] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[Again, he is asked,] “Do you promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary, to live chaste of your body all your life long?”
[And he answers,] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[And he's again asked,] “Do you promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary, to observe all your life long, the laudable
manners and customs of our Order, both those which are already in use and those which the Master and Knights may add?”
[And he answers,] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[And then he's asked,] “Do you promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary, that you will, with the strength and powers
which God has bestowed on you, help as long as you live to conquer the Holy Land of Jerusalem; and that you will, with all
your strength, aid to keep and guard that which the Christians possess?”
[And he answers,] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[And he's asked,] “Do you promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary, never to hold (leave) this Order for stronger or
weaker, for better or worse, than with permission of the Master, or of the chapter which has the authority?”
[And he answers,] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[And then he's asked,] “Do you finally promise to God, and our dear Lady Mary, never to be present when a Christian is
unjustly and unlawfully despoiled of his heritage, and that you will never, by counsel or by act, take part therein?”
[And he answers,] “Yea, Sir, with the help of God!”
[And then:] “In the name, then, of God, and our dear Lady Mary, and in the name of St. Peter of Rome, and of our father
the Pope, and in the name of all the brethren of the Temple, we receive to all the good works of the Order which have been
performed from the beginning, and shall be performed to the end, you, your father, your mother, and all of your family whom
119
you will let have share therein. In like manner do you receive us to all the good work which you have performed and shall
perform. We assure you of bread and water and the poor clothing of the order, and labor and toil enow.”
Then the candidate was admitted.
[Don't go away, folks. I'll be right back after this very short pause.]

[You're listening to the Hour of the Time. I'm William Cooper—I am still alive, I am still kicking and I'm going to be

We'll begin again in just a few moments.]
(Interlude music continues)
[With a joyous celebration] the candidate was admitted. The white mantle with its red cross was placed by the Master
over the neck of the candidate, and clasped firmly by him. The Chaplain recited the 132nd psalm and the prayer of the Holy
Ghost, and each brother repeated a paternoster.
Then the Master and the Chaplain kissed the new entrant on the mouth. As he sat down before the Master, the latter
delivered him a sermon on his duties.
Knights were equipped more lightly than other Crusaders, and were issued with shields, sword, lance and mace. They
were allocated three horses each, [not one with two knights riding, but three horses each] plus an esquire, who was either a
serving-brother or a layman, perhaps a youth from a noble family anxious to become a knight in his own turn.
Retired knights were looked after by the Order, became counselors at meetings, and were eventually buried in coffins in
their Templar habit, with the legs crossed. Many Templar gravestones show the Knight with his feet up on a dog. [But most
show the crossed thighbones and the skull known as the Skull and Bones—the same Skull and Bones as the Russell trust, the
Brotherhood of Death at Yale, and the same Skull and Bones displayed upon the flag of the Pirates.]
It was Philip the Fair of France, bankrupt and fearful of the growing power of the warriors of the Temple, who laid the
conspiracy for the suppression of the Order for all time. It has been hinted that Philip had some forewarning that a plot
against the throne was afoot; that the Templars, frustrated in their attempts to win back the Holy Land, were about to turn
upon Pope and King alike and try to overcome all Christendom. [And, believe it or not, that's closer to the truth than anything
that you ever heard about the Templars.] In 1305, Pope Clement had been crowned through the assistance of the French King
[and was actually under the control of the French King]; and Philip was ready to bring all the power of Church and State
against the Knights of the Temple.
There had been continued rivalry between the Templars and the Hospitallers [on the surface, underneath, they were one
and the same]; and Clement, six months after his enthronement, wrote asking them to visit him for a conference, ostensibly
for the purpose of making plans for aiding the kings of Armenia and Cyprus. The Pope was, however, hoping that he could
effect a reconciliation between the two Orders, which would in turn strengthen his own position as their only ultimate head.
William de Villaret, Master of the Hospital, was fully engaged in an attack upon the Saracens of Rhodes when the invitation
arrived, and could not obey it; but Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Temple, decided to accept. He handed over the
defense of Limassol in Cyprus to the Order's Marshall, collected sixty knights, packed 150,000 gold florins plus much other
treasure, and set sail for France.
114
120
At Paris, de Molay was received with honors by the King who was plotting his downfall. In Poitiers, he met Clement, and
discussed the possibilities of a fresh Crusade. De Molay opined that only a complete alliance of all Christendom could be of
any avail against the Moslems, and that the amalgamation of the two Orders was not a good idea. The Grand Master returned
to Paris; and almost at once rumors began to circulate about certain serious charges to be preferred against the Order.
Troubled at this campaign, the Master (together with Rimbaud de Caron, Preceptor of Outremer; Jeffrey de Goneville,
Preceptor of Aquitane, and Hugh de Peraudo, Preceptor of France) returned to Poitiers to justify the Order before the Pope.
An audience took place, about April of 1307, in which the Pope mentioned the charges which have been made. The
commission understood that their answers satisfied Clement, and returned to the capital in good heart. But this [dear
listeners] was only the beginning.
The method by which the charges were originally said to have been made was through a former Templar who had been
expelled from the Order for heresy and other offenses. This Squin de Flexian found himself in prison, together with another
man (a Florentine named Noffo Dei), and they thought (or were told) that they could obtain their release and a pardon for the
crime of which they were currently accused if only they would testify against the Order. One account has it that de Flexian
called for the governor of the prison, saying that he had a disclosure to make which he could tell the King personally; and
which would be more to him than the conquest of [an entire] kingdom. Another chronicle has it that both men were degraded
Templars, and had been actively engaged in the revolt against the King during which Philip had been forced to take refuge
with the Templars. It is further stated that Cardinal Cantilupo, the Chamberlain to the Pope, who had been in an association
with the Templars since he was eleven years old, had confessed some of their doings to his master.
Ten main charges were made by de Flexian against the Order:
1. Each Templar on his admission swore never to quit the Order, and to further its interests by right or wrong.
2. The heads of the Order are in secret alliance with the Saracens, and they have more of Mohammedan infidelity than
Christian faith. [And] proof of the latter includes that they make every novice spit upon the cross and trample upon it, and
blaspheme the faith of Christ in various ways.
3. The heads of the Order are heretical, cruel and sacrilegious men. Whenever any novice, on discovering the iniquity of
the Order, tries to leave it, they kill him and bury the body secretly by night. They teach women who are pregnant by them
how to procure abortion, and secretly murder such newborn children.
4. They are infected with the errors of the Fratecelli; they despise the Pope and the authority of the Church; they scorn
the sacraments, especially those of penance and confession. They pretend to comply with the rites of the Church simply to
avoid detection.
5. The superiors are addicted to the most infamous excesses of debauchery. If anyone expresses his repugnance to this, he
is punished by perpetual captivity.
6. The Temple-houses are the receptacle of every crime and abomination that can be committed.
7. The Order works to put the Holy Land into the hands of the Saracens, and favors them more than the Christians.
8. The Master is installed in secret and few of the younger brethren are present at this ceremony. It is strongly suspected
that on this occasion he repudiates the Christian faith, or does something contrary to right.
9. Many statutes of the Order are unlawful, profane and contrary to Christianity. [In fact, some of them are stone
penises.] The members are therefore forbidden under pain of perpetual confinement to reveal them to anyone.
10. No vice or crime committed for the honor or benefit of the Order is held to be a sin.
121
[Now] these charges were later augmented by others which were collected through testimony from other enemies of the
Order, and included such assertions as the use of the phrase Ya Allah ([which means] O, Allah!) and the adoration of an idol
called the Head of Baphomet. [In fact, the Head of Baphomet was not an idol that they worshiped but represented the
receptacle of the intelligence, or the seat of the intelligence: the brain, the light, Lucifer, the gift of intellect, primordial
knowing—and that is what really the object of veneration was.]
Philip and his advisers prepared a great secrecy for the descent upon this powerful organization [the Knights Templar].
[And] on the 12th of September, 1307, sealed letters were sent to all the governors and Royal officers throughout France,
instructing them to arm themselves on the twelfth of the next month and open the sealed orders—and to act upon them
forthwith. By the morning of Friday, October 13, [and on that day] almost every Templar in France was in the hands of the
King's men. [And thus was born the legend that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. And notice that it was October, Friday the
13th, the very first October surprise.]115 Hardly one seems to have had any warning. [But they did because, before the king
acted, the Templars had moved their wealth, their treasure, and their holdings out of the country of France.] On the day
before his arrest, the Grand Master had actually been chosen by the King to be a pall-bearer at a state funeral.116
The secret orders had it that all Templars were to be seized, tortured and interrogated. Confessions were to be obtained
from them; pardon might be promised only if they confessed. And all their goods were to be expropriated. [But the only thing
that they really got was the actual real estate property held by the Templars in France and nowhere else. None of the gold,
none of their wealth, none of their jewels, none of their treasures, none of the relics that have recovered from the Holy Land
were ever found.]
The King himself took possession of the Temple at Paris as soon as the Grand Master and his knights were arrested. The
next day the University of Paris assembled, together with canons and other functionaries and ministers; and the Chancellor
declared that the knights had been proceeded against for heresy. Two days later the University met in the Temple and some
heads of the Order, including the Grand Master, were interrogated. They are said to have confessed to 'forty years' guilt’
[whatever that means].
[Now] whether de Molay and others confessed on that occasion or not, the King was emboldened to publish an
accusation, in which he called the knights “polluters of the error and devouring wolves.” A public meeting was called in the
Royal Gardens and addressed by monks and representatives on this subject.
Edward II was the son-in-law of the French Philip, and to him was sent a priest who invited the English monarch to act at
once against the Order in Britain. [Well,] Edward almost at once wrote to say that the charges seemed to him to be incredible.
But Pope Clement wrote on November 22nd to London, assuring Edward that the Master of the Temple had confessed of his
own free will that knights on their admission to the Order had denied Christ. Others had admitted idolatry and other crimes.
He therefore called upon the King of England to arrest all Templars within his domains, and to place their lands and goods in
custody until their guilt or innocence should be ascertained. [He condemned them to torture by the Dominican monks under
the Inquisition until they confessed their guilt or were dead.]
[Now notice the date folks: November the 22nd in the year 1307. That's a significant date in our history and has direct
bearing, as you will see, many hours down the line.]117
[William Cooper does an advertisement for an upcoming lecture]
115 October Surprise (American political jargon) is an unexpected, but popular, political act made just prior to a November
election, in an attempt to win votes
116 On October 12, 1307, the grand master was among the highest nobility of Europe who acted as pallbearers at the funeral
of Princess Catherine, the deceased wife of King Philip’s brother, Charles of Valois. Born in blood, p.131
117 John F. Kennedy was assassinated exactly 666 years later.
122
Before [the King of England] received this missive, [he] seems to have been sorely troubled by the allegations. He wrote,
on November [the] 26th, to the Seneschal of Agen, asking about the charges. On the 4th of December he wrote to the kings of
Portugal, Castile, Aragon and Sicily, asking “what they had heard, and adding that he had given no credit to it”. He wrote to
the Pope himself on December [the] 10th, expressing disbelief of what the French King said, and begging His Holiness to
institute an enquiry [Well folks,] by December [the] 15th, when the Papal Bull arrived, Edward felt that he must act upon it
without question. On December [the] 26th he wrote to the Pope that his orders would be obeyed. [But] in the interim,
Edward had sent word to Wales, Scotland and Ireland that the Templars were all to be seized, as in England; but they were to
be treated with kindness.
On October [the] 19th, less than a week after they had been arrested [in France], 140 prisoners were being tortured by the
Dominican Imbert, in the Paris Temple. Promises and the rack produced many confessions. Thirty-six of the examinees died
during these proceedings. Throughout France the racks worked overtime, and the confessions poured forth. [Many good men
were crippled for the rest of their lives.] Many of these were contradictory and confused; [and] perhaps there is little wonder
of that. [How many of you could resist, even for five minutes, the tortures of the medieval Inquisition?]
The Pope now seemed a little uneasy at the arbitrary methods which were being employed. Philip wrote sharply to him
saying that he, the King, was doing God's work, and rendered accounts to God alone. He offered to turn over all the goods of
the Templars to the service of the Holy Land, Clement, still a weakling, merely stipulated that the inquisitions of each Bishop
should be confirmed by a Provincial Council, and that the examination of the heads of the Order should be reserved to
himself. Now we hear a constant succession of confessions and retractions, allegations that the heads of the Order confessed
completely and spontaneously to the Pope himself. The Pope himself, for some unexplained reason [folks], tried to escape to
Bordeaux, but was stopped by the King. Now he was the monarch's captive as well as his creation.
Detailed confessions of individual Templars have been kept on record, many of them undoubtedly obtained by extreme
racking and other tortures. The Templars who were prepared to defend the Order in court were brought to Paris, to the
number of five hundred and forty-six. Deprived of their knightly habits, and the sacraments of the Church, they had no
means to acquire defense counsel. Their numbers rose to nine hundred, and now they clamored for the presence of the Grand
Master, who was held elsewhere. An Act of Accusation in the name of the Pope was drawn up, and seventy-five Templars
drew up the Defense.
The accusation had it now that “At the time of their reception they were made to deny God, Christ, the Virgin, etc., and in
particular to declare that Christ was not the true God, but a false prophet, who had been crucified for his own crimes and not
for the redemption of the world. They spat and trampled upon the cross, especially on Good Friday. They worshiped a cat,
which sometimes appeared in their chapters. Their priests, when celebrating Mass, did not pronounce the words of
consecration. They believed that their Master could absolve them from their sins. They were told at their reception that they
might abandon themselves to all kinds of licentiousness. They have idols in all their provinces, some with three faces, some
with one. They worshiped these idols in their chapters, believed that they could save them, regarded them as the givers of
wealth to the order and of the fertility to the earth; they touched them with cords which they afterwards tied around their
own bodies [underneath their robes—and that is still practiced today by Freemasons and by the Mormon Church]. Those
who at the time of their reception would not comply with these practices were put to death or imprisoned.”
The reply of the Templars denied every charge and stated that they had been subjected to every kind of illegality since
their arrest. Fifty-four of the knights who had volunteered to defend the Order were committed to the flames, having been
declared relapsed heretics, before the trials had even started. [And you'll see this number fifty-four crop up later, and even in
the modern-day, and sometimes it's fifty-four plus one—the Grand Master, who later was burned at the stake.]
Four years to the day after the first arrests, the Pope led a convocation of one hundred and fourteen bishops to come to a
final decision about the Templar Order. [Well, folks,] the prelates of Spain, England, Germany, Denmark, Ireland and
Scotland called for the Templars to be allowed to defend themselves. The Pope reported by closing the Session almost at once.
[He would not hear of it.] Out of fifteen hundred to two thousand Templars who were in hiding in the vicinity, nine knights
123
came forward to testify for the Order. The Pope doubled his guard and sent a message to the King to do the same, as there
was still danger from the hidden knights. They were not heard. Only one Italian prelate and three French ones voted to
prevent the Order from putting in its defense.
Now Philip, deciding that something should be done to hasten affairs, sent off for Venice and the conference. His arrival
had an electric effect. On his sole authority the Pope almost immediately abolished the Order of a secret consistory. [And]
this was on March 22nd, [in the year] 1313.118 [And 1313 plays a significant number later on as that was a famous address in
New Orleans, as some of you may remember.] On May 2nd, when the Bull was published, the Order ceased officially to exist.
The Grand Master, assumed but not proved to be guilty, was sentenced to perpetual imprisonment. Most of the other knights
were released and many of these past their remaining days in poverty. De Molay and one of his chiefs, Guy of Auvergne,
[pronounced or] proclaimed their innocence on the public stage to which they had been taken to have sentence announced.
The King, upon hearing [them recant their confession], immediately had them committed to the flames.
[No longer reading]
And some say that, while he was being burned at the stake, that de Molay cursed both the Pope and the King of France,
stating that within a certain short period of time, he would meet them . . . he would meet them in another life, in front of God,
who would judge them for their crimes. And, believe it or not, folks, well within the period of time, which was not very long,
both the Pope and the King of France were dead, and I'm sure joined Jacques de Molay in front of God for their final
judgment.
We are in no way finished with the story of the Knights Templar. But until tomorrow night, good night, and God bless
each and every one of you.

Pam Bondi's DOJ Is Sabotaging The Trump Coalition Authored by John Velleco, Executive Vice President Gun Owners of America Friday, Feb 06, 2026 - 02:55 PM Pam Bondi's DOJ has chosen the temporary fix over the permanent solution. In addition to having repeatedly bungled implementation of President Trump's agenda, Bondi's DOJ has deliberately avoided letting cases reach final judgment... If the Bondi DOJ's hostility to the groups that made up the Trump Coalition in 2024 continues, it will seriously damage any chance of success in the 2026 midterms... DOJ's pattern is clear: First-avoid siding with gun owners even when they are clearly right. Second-delay, deny, and avoid pro-gun rulings. Third- don't settle meritorious cases - in fact, work to prevent pro-gun decisions by mooting challenges so that gun owners can't get permanent relief, thus preventing lasting victory for gun owners... Under Pam Bondi's DOJ, it is the interests of the federal government - not the people - that are being protected at all costs.... The hour grows late for President Trump to deliver on the promises he made to voters. So long as Pam Bondi's DOJ continues to actively undermine litigation by Trump Coalition groups nationwide, there will be no permanent victories to cement the President's agenda. And all the next Democrat administration will have to do is reimplement old policies. On many fronts, Bondi's DOJ is fighting hard to empower the next Democrat to do just that.

Fulcanelli’s main strategy, the key to unraveling the mystery, lies in an understanding of what he calls the “phonetic law” of the “spoken cabala,” or the “language of the birds.” This punning, multilingual wordplay can be used to reveal unusual and, according to Fulcanelli, meaningful associations between ideas. “What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their bark and liberate the spirit, the divine light which is within,” Fulcanelli writes. He claims that in our day this is the natural language of the outsiders, the outlaws and heretics at the fringes of society.

Domesday Book (/ˈduːmzdeɪ/ DOOMZ-day; the Middle English spelling of "Doomsday Book") is a manuscript record of the Great Survey of much of England and parts of Wales completed in 1086 at the behest of William the Conqueror.[1] The manuscript was originally known by the Latin name Liber de Wintonia, meaning "Book of Winchester", where it was originally kept in the royal treasury.[2] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that in 1085 the king sent his agents to survey every shire in England, to list his holdings and dues owed to him.[3]
Custodial history
Domesday Book was preserved from the late 11th to the beginning of the 13th centuries in the royal Treasury at Winchester (the Norman kings' capital). It was often called the "Book" or "ROLL" of Winchester.[9] When the Treasury moved to the Palace of Westminster, probably under King JOHN, the book went with it.

Goldwater Hints of Lawsuit Over Charges

Senator Barry Goldwater said yesterday in a television interview that “I'm shocked and I'm resentful” over the articles by a group of investigative reporters and editors who wrote that the Senator and his brother, Robert, were friendly with underworld figures implicated in state corruption.
The Republican Senator, who appeared on ABC‐TV's “Good Morning, America,” also said that if he decided on a libel suit that “it will probably he the biggest” ever filed in the United States.
The articles reported that Senator Goldwater, his brother, Robert, and Harry Rosenzweig, a former Arizona Republican state chairman who charted the Senator's rise to political prominence, achieved dominance over Phoenix through
Senator Goldwater said. “It's not only ridiculous, it's completely untrue their friendships and business alliances with gangsters.
The third article copyrighted by the team of newsmen and published yesterday concentrated on Mr. Rosenzweig. The accusations made against him in the article included the following:
¶Mr. Rosenzweig maintained intimate ties with a Phoenix club owner identified by the police as a contact man for the Chicago crime syndicate.

El Dorado (Spanish: [el doˈɾaðo]) is a mythical city of gold supposedly located somewhere in South America. The king of this city was said to be so rich that he would cover himself from head to foot in gold dust – either daily or on certain ceremonial occasions – before diving into a sacred lake to wash it off. The legend was first recorded in the 16th century by Spanish colonists in the Americas; they referred to the king as El Dorado, the Golden One, a name which eventually came to be applied to the city itself.

Blanche Fills DOJ Leadership Position in First Post-Bondi Move
April 9, 2026, 11:58 AM PDT
Ben Penn
Senior Reporter
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has elevated Justice Department aide and conservative litigator Trent McCotter to a critical role with authority to shape a new leadership vision in the wake of Pam Bondi’s ouster.
McCotter, who before rejoining DOJ in January was representing Steve Bannon and challenging corporate diversity policies, was appointed as principal associate deputy attorney general, Blanche announced on X Thursday. It’s a position with considerable behind-the-scenes sway over enforcement and personnel that was last held by Emil Bove.
DOJ’s new interim leader also said recently confirmed Fraud Division head Colin McDonald would be “helping Trent” in the deputy AG’s office, indicating the duo will split the day-to-day management responsibilities Blanche held as the department’s No. 2 before he moved up to replace Bondi last week.
Blanche had yet to permanently replace Bove since he left for the federal bench last summer, creating a void for a job that under Bove was known for heavy-handed tactics and restructuring the department to meet Trump priorities.
McCotter brings significant civil litigation and appellate experience from numerous prior posts at DOJ and in private practice. He left Jenner & Block’s Supreme Court and appellate practice group in 2017 to serve as an assistant US attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, before rising to deputy associate attorney general at Main Justice in the final months of President Donald Trump’s first term.
McCotter was a partner at the conservative firm Boyden Gray from 2021 until joining DOJ this year initially as an associate deputy AG. While at Boyden Gray, he filed a petition last year for anti-DEI organizations led by Ed Blum to request the Securities and Exchange Commission adopt rules prohibiting proxy firms from considering gender, race, or ethnicity of director nominees in voting advice to investors.
Although it’s unclear how long Blanche will lead DOJ temporarily and whether he’d eventually be Trump’s attorney general nominee, the White House is in no hurry to make a permanent decision as Trump assesses Blanche’s performance as acting, Bloomberg News reported.

AI Overview
The surname Bundy has English, Old Norse, and medieval roots, primarily deriving from a nickname for a "farmer" or "freeholder" (from Old Norse Bóndi). It frequently referred to a person of free status who owned and cultivated land, with early records appearing in the 12th century.
Key Aspects of the Bundy Name:
Origins: The name originated in England, stemming from medieval personal names like Bondi or Bunda.
Meaning: It signifies a farmer, husbandman, or "freeholder" (someone who holds land free of feudal obligations).
Variations: Related surnames include Bond, Boundy, Bunday, and Bundey.
Early Records: Early instances include Norman le Bonde (1180, Warwickshire) and various spellings in the Domesday Book.
HARRY W. BUNDY Harry W. Bundy was a Mason, a Satanist and the chief adept (9°) of the Colorado part of the SRICF. To clarify to the reader what this all means allow me to inform you about the structures Satan has built. Pure Satanism in order to function easier has set up some branches which are secret, but if the public hears about these branches, they have a veneer of respectability. Dr. Wynn Westcott, a famous Satanist and the Supreme Magus of S.R.I.A. wrote the rare book History of The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. IX. It was privately printed by these Masonic Rosicruclans on Dec. 30, 1900, and later received the Br. Museum Press Mark of 0475 h54. Within this rare book the leader of the S.R.I.A. spells out the purpose of the organization to the Brotherhood, "The aim of the Society...searching out the secrets of Nature; to facilitate the study of the system of philosophy founded upon the Cabala and the doctrines of Hermes Trismegistus ..." Hermes Trismegistus (as many of you know) means "the trice greatest Hermes" who was the Egyptian scribe god who is claimed to be the author of all magical writing. Hermes is credited for the grossly evil Satanicwitchcraft rituals that the ancient Egyptians and modern Satanism continue to practice. For an excellent exposé of the connections between the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Masonic Rituals and modern Satanism, I suggest David Carrico’s book The Masonic Egyptian Satanic Connection. (obtainable from Followers of Jesus Christ, 5220 Ashley Dr., Evansville, IN 47711). As I was just writing, a number of branches of the Illuminati were created with the same pattern as the Bavarian Illuminati, and these branches sometimes refer to themselves as Illuminati-and rightly so since they are integral part of Satanism. One branch has been set up within . Freemasonry called Societas Rosicruciana. They coil themselves Rosicruciana and Christians. How they attach the aame of Christ to Satanism, is beyond my imagination. Perhaps the "Christ consciousness they seek justifies in their minds calling themselves "exclusively Christian." Whatever they want to coil themselves they practice magic and Satanism. A number of daughter organizations have sprung up from the S.R.I.A. such as the Golden Dawn, the Stella Matutina and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). The S.R.I.A. also worked closely with German Illuminism and the Theosophical Society. In England the Societas Rosicruciana (S.R.) is named S.R. in Anglia, in Scotland it is S.R. in Scotia, in Greece it is S.R. in Graecia, in Canada it is S.R. in Canada, and in the US. it is S.R. in Civitatibus Foederatis. The membership is very exclusive. And my understanding that there are about a dozen US. lodges called "colleges" with about 40 members each, which lends me to guess they have an exclusive membership of about 500 in the United States. Membership in Societas Rosicruciana has included such notable Satanists such as A.L Waite, Eliphas Levi, and Kenneth Mackenzie. It has included that Luciferian Albert Pike too. Within a nation the arena are divided up into provinces, each of which has a "college"-their fancy word for a satanic lodge. On Apr. 20, 1948 Harry W. Bundy became the chief adept of the Colorado college. Two letters by the Supreme Magus of all the S.R. groups Win. Wynn Wescott are photocopied so that the reader can read for himself from the SRIA’s Supreme Magus (lending magician) that they are connected to the Illuminati. See for yourself!! An interesting point in light of what I have printed in other newsletters, the Mass. college in 1393 printed a book by its Supreme Magus Gould (9°) which declares that the Grand Central San of the Universe is Alcyone in the Pliades. Shades of Alice Dailey, and C.T. Russell!! One of the most knowledgeable people to try to expose the New World Order and the Satanic hierarchy behind it said, "It remains for the student to follow evvery line of enquiry to the point of concentration where nil threads are gathered and systematically manipulated for the eventual destruction of Christian civilization. It may lend to the B’nai B’rith, the Universal Israelite Alliance, India or Tibet, but in any case a thorough and complete study of Rosicrucianism embracing a minute one of Rosicruciana in Anglia and its various branches will be a great step taken in the direction of uncovering much of the political and moral chaos of present day history of mankind." p.510) 10 Interesting, that this expert would say this. The threads go buck to 13 Top Families, and wouldn’t you know, several of their people are lenders of the S.R.I.A. including Harry W. Bundy. The Bundy family has been a very powerful family in American history which has managed to keep itself out of the limelight. Often the members d the Bundy’s have had power by virtue of being advisors to those in powerful positions. P.s. Congressman Reece, a real hero tried to go farther & expose the connections between Hiss, tho Carnegie Endowment Found., the Morgan Bank, and the rest of the tax-exempt foundations. The Illuminati moved mightily against Reece. SIMPLIFIED BIBLIOGRAPHY Almanac of Famous People Census Records National Cyclopaedia d American Biography Sutton, Antony.

The White House Shooting was a retaliation from Arturo Sosa the current Jesuit Superior General towards President Donald Trump an agent of Jesuit Superior Jeffrey Burwell of Toronto Ontario Canada for the recent mass shooting in Austin Texas and Americans that notice and say something about this are conspired on by neighbors and the local justice court and mental health systems via weaponized litigation, psychological projection.

The Perestroika Deception: Memoranda to the Central Intelligence Agency is a 1995 book by Anatoliy Golitsyn, a former KGB counterintelligence officer, who argued that the Soviet Union's reforms under Gorbachev were a long-term strategic deception to achieve communist world domination through "convergence" with the West. Golitsyn claimed this was part of a Leninist strategy to create a new world order under a communist-controlled United Nations, building on his earlier work, New Lies for Old, which accurately predicted the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe.
Author: Anatoliy Golitsyn, a former KGB officer who defected to the West.
Publication: 1995.
Core Argument: The "reforms" of Perestroika were a calculated deception by the KGB to lull the West into a false sense of security, leading to a "convergence" of systems and ultimately a communist world government.
Context: It followed his earlier book, New Lies for Old, which had correctly predicted the fall of communism in the late 1980s, lending credibility to his claims about the deception.

Sion had not altered its plan to capture the French throne for the House of Lorraine since its
failure during the Religious Wars. It met only with partial success under Weishaupt. The French
Revolution did dethrone the Bourbons, as Sion desired. The King of Jerusalem dynasty,
however, was unable to ascend the French throne after the Revolution destroyed the monarchy.
This intrigue, with its counter-intrigues, seemed to blend Rosicrucianism and Templarism.
Hence, conspiracy researchers have not understood the dual conflict within the French
Revolution and they have misconstrued the French Masonic conspiracy as a continuation of
Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati plot. On the other hand, opponents of conspiracy theory view the
Illuminati as non-existent after 1785, since in that year it was exposed by the Bavarian
government and ordered to disband. What actually happened is not immediately apparent. Sion
and the Temple, however, had other plans for the Illuminati on another continent in a new world.

6th Street Mass Shooting
Updates expected soon in Austin mass shooting investigation
by: Brianna Hollis
Posted: Apr 9, 2026 / 05:24 PM CDT
Updated: Apr 9, 2026 / 06:18 PM CDT
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said Thursday that authorities could release updates “in the next couple of weeks” about the March 1 mass shooting that killed three people, and the shooter, and injured 15 others.
“The callousness of lives that were lost and just the devastation of three young people who had many, many years ahead of them,” Chief Davis said.
The FBI and APD are working together on the investigation.
“It’s one of those calls that no chief ever wants to get,” Davis said. “Our watch commander calls me and says we have a mass shooting and just hangs up on me. And so at that point, you know the urgency.”
The three people killed in the shooting were Ryder Harrington, Jorge Pederson and Savitha Shan. There were fifteen injured, including a “number” of University of Texas students.
“It’s devastating. It is really devastating,” Davis said. “And it it took an emotional toll on a lot of people in this building, a lot of people within this police department, as well as the community."
As far as the investigation goes, Davis explained that it takes on a different form than a so-called “typical” homicide investigation because the suspect is dead. Instead, it’s more about determining the motive behind the attack.
“So at this point you’re looking in their background, you know, what is in that background, what’s in their history, you know, doing phone searches, web searches, all of those type of things,” she said.

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.

Although in the first 30 years of the existence of the Society of Jesus there were many Jesuits who were conversos (Catholic-convert Jews and Muslims and their descendants), an anti-converso faction led to the Decree de genere (1593) which proclaimed that either Jewish or Muslim ancestry, no matter how distant, was an insurmountable impediment for admission to the Society of Jesus.[191]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuits
Himmler used the Jesuits as the model for the SS, since he found they had the core elements of absolute obedience and the cult of the organisation.[59][60] Hitler is said to have called Himmler "my Ignatius of Loyola".[59] As an order, the SS needed a coherent doctrine that would set it apart.[61]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology_of_the_SS
The large Latin inscription on the façade reads: Clemens XII Pont Max Anno V Christo Salvatori In Hon SS Ioan Bapt et Evang. This abbreviated inscription translates as: "The Supreme Pontiff Clement XII, in the fifth year [of his Pontificate, dedicated this building] to Christ the Saviour, in honor of Saints John the Baptist and [John] the Evangelist".[5] Because Christ the Saviour is its primary dedication, its titular feast day is 6 August, the Transfiguration of Christ.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archbasilica_of_Saint_John_Lateran#Lateran_Palace
From 1939, the SS assumed responsibility for “solving” the so-called Jewish Question; after 1941, its leadership planned, coordinated and directed the so-called Final Solution of the Jewish Question. This “solution” was the annihilation of the European Jews, which we now refer to as the Holocaust

2 §1. The character and charism of the Society of Jesus arise from the Spiritual Exercises which our holy father Ignatius and his companions went through. Led by this experience, they formed an apostolic group rooted in charity, in which, after they had taken the vows of chastity and poverty and had been raised to the priesthood, they offered themselves as a HOLOCAUST to God,[2] so that serving as soldiers of God beneath the banner of the cross and serving the Lord alone and the Church his spouse under the Roman Pontiff, the vicar of Christ on earth,[3] they would be sent into the entire world[4] for the defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress of souls in Christian life and doctrine.

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.

Donald Trump’s Jesuit Education
When I was an undergraduate at Boston College, the Campus Ministry office sold “Educated by Jesuit” T-shirts to help fundraise for retreats and service trips. On the front of the shirt is the emblem of the Society of Jesus, and on the back a list of famous people who were educated by Jesuits at either the university or high school level. The list contains a host of celebrities, authors, actors, actresses, politicians, and activists. The names include Voltaire, James Joyce, Monsignor Oscar Romero, Bill Clinton, Tim Russert, “Tip” O’Neil, Salma Hayek, Amy Poehler, Alfred Hitchcock, and Maria Shriver. To this list we could add Pope Francis, Fr. Greg Boyle, and some of our country’s most current politicians, namely John Kerry, the former Secretary of State, and Tim Kaine, the former vice presidential candidate. Tim Kaine’s Jesuit background, for example, did not go unnoticed by the media during the 2016 election. This points out that being Jesuit educated does in fact make a huge difference for how you see the world and your role in shaping it. Kaine unabashedly pronounced that his Catholic faith and Jesuit education helped to influence his political stances on the environment, gay marriage (pro), gay adoption (pro), abortion (pro-choice), and the death penalty (anti). Conservative members of the faith in turn attacked his Jesuit education as emblematic of his “radical roots” , questioning whether or not his Jesuit education was truly Catholic and in accordance with Church teaching.
To state that Jesuit education plays a part in forming our political views seems obvious. Jesuit education prides itself on its commitment to justice and the practice of solidarity with those on the margins. If you read the Mission statement from any of the 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, you will come across pledges to “form men and women of conscience and compassion” (Creighton), to “foster in [students] ethical and religious values and a sense of social responsibility” (Fairfield), and to “prepare students for ethical leadership” (Loyola New Orleans). The task of Jesuit education is thus to integrate the ethical, the moral, the intellectual, and the religious, as well as to produce men and women who exist not for themselves but for others in the creation of a more just and humane world. The hope is that the men and women who come out of a Jesuit university — no matter what their chosen career path or vocation — will have instilled in them a sense of social responsibility, particularly one that is attuned to the plight of the oppressed.
What if on the back that T-shirt we added the name of one other famous current politician? Donald Trump was educated by Jesuits too. He attended Fordham University for two years (1964-1966), before transferring to the real estate studies program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The reality that Donald Trump attended Fordham for two years is not something that is often talked about in the circles of Jesuit higher education. This fact is often comically dismissed, principally because Donald Trump did not graduate from Fordham. So too is it disregarded because (the argument goes) Jesuit universities can’t expect everyone who attends their institution to become leaders in the fight against injustice. We don’t want to deal with the fact that a man who attended Fordham is the same man who proposed an expansion of the prison at Guantánamo, reversed plans to save wetlands and protect waterways from coal waste. We also don’t want to acknowledge that a man who attended a Catholic university is the same man who (while maintaining the most lavish lifestyle in presidential history) has overseen a response to the COVID pandemic that has killed over 150,000 Americans. Nearly every single proposal and administrative act put forth by Donald Trump and his administration runs contrary to the core Catholic social teaching (and Trump’s espoused Christian faith) to promote the human dignity of every human being.
The point is not so much that Donald Trump was present on a Catholic, Jesuit university campus — but the courses he took and what he gained from them. Every Jesuit college or university in the United States offers an iteration of the same core curriculum. And although Trump won’t release his college transcripts there is a slim chance he would have been able to finagle his way out of certain required courses. That means that during either his freshman or sophomore year, Donald Trump would have had to take a required course in either theology or philosophy. He likely took both.
This is that we have to deal with if we want to understand the role that the Jesuit university has in organizing on behalf of the common good today. Our inability to address the fact that Donald Trump likely sat in a theology class at Fordham, mimics our inability to address both the ways that Jesuit universities are complicit in injustice and that what we teach in theology and philosophy classrooms often supports this complicity.
Ignacio Ellacuria, 1982
The question thus becomes, as Ignacio Ellacuria asked in his 1982 Commencement Speech at Santa Clara University, “How does a university transform the social reality of which it is so much a part?” Too often, Jesuit universities blend in to the status quo rather than embody an alternative to it. Thus, the problem is not solely Donald Trump. Rather, the problem is that he is a product of the ways our Jesuit universities are not living up to their inherent Ignatian values. I worry that Jesuit universities will fail to organize against Trump’s unjust policies, if they do not first address the ways that the university has justified hierarchical, patriarchal, heteronormative, and racist ways of thinking. So we must then ask — are our institutions leading the fight against global poverty? Offering just wages and health care benefits to their faculty members? Supporting the unionization of its workers? Are we creating syllabi inclusive of authors from a variety of backgrounds? Are we having honest conversations about racism, and how universities have often fostered an attitude of white supremacy and domination rather than seeking to decimate it?
James Cone, author of The Cross and the Lynching Tree
Should Jesuit universities truly want to be a social force for good in an era of Trump, they must begin precisely where Christ began his ministry – on the margins. When Trump was named as President-elect, many theologians began naming this current historical moment as “our Bonhoeffer moment.” These words are of course polemical, insinuating that what was ahead in the Trump presidency is comparable to life in Nazi Germany. The problem I have with this statement is that Bonhoeffer is situated as the paramount theological voice. Although I affirm that Bonhoeffer emulated authentic discipleship in his prose and present action, he was still a straight, privileged, white male. And my opinion stands that this is not the theological voice who should be at the forefront of our movements to protest. In its efforts to organize, resist, and protest, Jesuit universities must not be guided by the voices of the elites, but by the voices on the margins of society. Texts that come from the traditions of oppressed persons and groups of persons are perhaps the only light that can and should lead the way in efforts to build the Kingdom of Heaven. We need womanist theology, black liberation theology, Latina/latino liberation theology, mujerista theology, queer theology, and Asian liberation theology. These are the texts that will unsettle. These are the texts that will disturb. Can we imagine a different world had Donald Trump been given the opportunity to read Dolores Williams, James Cone, Gustavo Guiterrez, Ivone Gebarra, or Marcella Althaus-Reid? Of course, he could have glanced over the words and not let their content sink in. But he would not have been able to fully escape it if the university was embodyig the vision that these authors present.
I will conclude with the profound words of Pedro Arrupe, S.J.:
First, let me ask this question. Have we Jesuits educated you for justice? You and I know that many of your Jesuit teachers will answer, in all sincerity and humility: No, we have not. If the terms “justice” and “education for justice” carry all the depth of meaning which the Church gives them today, we have not educated you for justice.
…What does this mean? It means that we have work ahead of us. We must help each other to repair this lack in us, and above all make sure that in future the education imparted in Jesuit schools will be equal to the demands of justice in the world. It will be difficult, but we can do it.
We can do it because, despite our historical limitations and failures, there is something which lies at the very center of the Ignatian spirit, and which enables us to renew ourselves ceaselessly and thus to adapt ourselves to new situations as they arise. What is this something? It is the spirit of constantly seeking the will of God. It is that sensitiveness to the Spirit which enables us to recognize where, in what direction, Christ is calling us at different periods of history, and to respond to that call.

The Jesuit Extreme Oath
September 23, 2021
The Jesuit Extreme Oath
My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the Reformers, to be a Reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant; and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
You have been taught to plant insidiously the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and to incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace; to take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.
You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope’s sake, whose servants we are unto death. You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. You must serve the proper time as the instrument and executioner as directed by your superiors; for none can command here who has not consecrated his labours with the blood of the heretic; for “without the shedding of blood no man can be saved”. Therefore, to fit yourself for your work and make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your former oath of obedience to your order and allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me:
(Text of the Oath:) I_______________ , now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints, sacred host of Heaven, and to you, my Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the Virgin, the matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness, the Pope, is Christ’s Vice-Regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by the virtue of the keys of binding and loosing given to His Holiness by my Saviour, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical Kings, Princes, States, Commonwealths, and Governments, and they may be safely destroyed.
Therefore to the utmost of my power I will defend this doctrine and His Holiness’s right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran Church of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and the nowpretended authority and Churches of England and Scotland, and the branches of same now established in Ireland and on the continent of America and elsewhere and all adherents in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or State, named Protestant or Liberal, or obedience to any of their laws, magistrates or officers. I do further declare the doctrine of the Churches of England and Scotland of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others of the name of Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves to be damned who will not forsake the same.
I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness’s agents, in any place where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland or America, or in any other kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protestant or Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise. I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding, I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the Mother Church’s interest; to keep secret and private all her agents’ counsels from time to time, as they entrust me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstances whatever; but to execute all that should be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me by you, my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order.
I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or will of my own or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ. That I will go to any part of the world whithersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions north, jungles of India, to the centres of civilisation of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things, whatsoever is communicated to me.
I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants’ heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false, or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever.
That I will in voting always vote for a Knight of Columbus in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote accordingly. That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics. That I will provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to defend the Church either as an individual or with the militia of the Pope. All of which
I,_______________, do swear by the blessed Trinity and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and on part to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my name written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and seal in the face of this holy sacrament.
(He receives the wafer from the Superior and writes his name with the point of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over his heart.) (Superior speaks:)
You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism necessary to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus belonging to this rank. In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman Catholic would; then one crosses his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with forefinger of the right hand to the centre of the palm of the left, the other with the forefinger of the left hand points to the centre of the palm of the right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head, touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the left side of his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down the stomach and abdomen of the first. The first then says Iustum; and the other answers Necar; the first Reges; the other answers Impious. The first will then present a small piece of paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head and arms of a cross three times. You will then give and receive with him the following questions and answers:
From whither do you come? Answer: The Holy faith.
Whom do you serve? Answer: The Holy Father at Rome, the Pope, and the Roman Catholic Church Universal throughout the world.
Who commands you? Answer: The Successor of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus or the Soldiers of Jesus Christ.
Who received you? Answer: A venerable man in white hair.
How? Answer: With a naked dagger, I kneeling upon the cross beneath the banners of the Pope and of our sacred order.
Did you take an oath? Answer: I did, to destroy heretics and their governments and rulers, and to spare neither age, nor sex, nor condition; to be as a corpse without any opinion or will of my own, but to implicitly obey my Superiors in all things without hesitation or murmuring.
Will you do that? Answer: I will.
How do you travel? Answer: In the bark of Peter the fisherman.
Whither do you travel? Answer: To the four quarters of the globe.
For what purpose? Answer: To obey the orders of my General and Superiors and execute the will of the Pope and faithfully fulfil the conditions of my oaths.
Go ye, then, into all the world and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-Regent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated.

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who is the 47th president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.
Donald Trump - Wikipedia
James Francis Edward Stuart (10 June 1688 – 1 January 1766) [a] was the House of Stuart claimant to the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland from 1701 until his death in 1766. The only son of James II of England and his second wife, Mary of Modena, he was Prince of Wales and heir until his Catholic father was deposed and exiled in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. His Protestant half-sister Mary II and her husband William III became co-monarchs. As a Catholic, he was subsequently excluded from the succession by the Act of Settlement 1701.
Raised primarily in France and Italy, when his father died in September 1701 James claimed the thrones. As part of the War of the Spanish Succession, in 1708 Louis XIV of France backed a landing in Scotland on his behalf. This failed, as did further attempts in 1715 and 1719. Led by his elder son Charles Edward Stuart, the 1745 Rising was the last serious effort to restore the House of Stuart.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Francis_Edward_Stuart
In 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.

The Crowns of America
So often one hears politicians quoting the British Constitution as if it actually exists by way of adocumentary privilege — but it does not. It is simply an accumulation of old customs and precedents concerning parliamentary sanctions, together with a number of specific laws defining certain aspects. Since Scotland's 1320 Declaration of Arbroath was nullified by England's Treaty of Union in 1707, the oldest Written Constitution now in force is that of the United States of America. It was adopted in 1787, ratified in 1788, and effected in 1789. In that same year began the French Revolution, which abolished feudalism and ‘absolute’ monarchy in France, thereby influencing politics in much of Europe. In close to 200 years since the Revolution, France and other European States (with Britain as a noticeable exception) have adopted Written Constitutions to protect the rights and liberties of individuals — but who champions these Constitutions on behalf of the people? A popular alternative to absolute monarchy or dictatorship has been found in Republicanism. The Republic of the United States was created primarily to free the emergent nation from the despotism of Britain’s House of Hanover. Yet its citizens tend still to be fascinated by the concept of monarchy. No matter how Republican the spirit, the need for a central symbol remains. Neither a flag nor a president can fulfil this unifying role, for by virtue of the ‘party system’ presidents are always politically motivated. Republicanism was devised on the principle of fraternal status, yet an ideally classless society can never exist in an environment that promotes displays of eminence and superiority by degrees of wealth and possession. For the most part, those responsible for the United States’ morally inspired Constitution were Rosicrucians and Freemasons, notable characters such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Charles Thompson. The last, who designed the Great Seal of the United States of America, was a member of Franklin’s American Philosophical Society — a counterpart of Britain’s Invisible College. The imagery of the Seal is directly related to alchemical tradition, inherited from the allegory of the ancient Egyptian Therapeutate. The eagle, the olive branch, the arrows, and the pentagrams are all occult symbols of opposites: good and evil, male and female, war and peace, darkness and light. On the reverse (as repeated on the dollar bill) is the truncated pyramid, indicating the loss of the Old Wisdom, severed and forced underground by the Church establishment. But above this are the rays of ever-hopeful light, incorporating the ‘all-seeing eye’, used as a symbol during the French Revolution.
In establishing their Republic, the Americans could still not escape the ideal of a parallel monarchy — a central focus of non-political, patriotic attachment. George Washington was actually offered kingship, but declined because he had no immediately qualifying heritage. Instead he turned to the Royal House of Stuart. In November 1782 four Americans arrived at the San Clemente Palazzo in Florence, the residence of Charles III Stuart in exile. They were Mr Galloway of Maryland, two brothers named Sylvester from Pennsylvania, and Mr Fish, a lawyer from New York. They were taken to Charles Edward by his secretary, John Stewart. Also present was the Hon Charles Hervey-Townshend (later Britain’s ambassador to The Hague) and the Prince's future wife, Marguerite, Comtesse de Massillan. The interview — which revolved around the contemporary transatlantic dilemma — is doctimented in the US Senate archives and in the Manorwater Papers. Writers such as Sir Compton Mackenzie and Sir Charles Petrie have also described the occasion when Charles Edward Stuart was invited to become ‘King of the Americans’. Some years earlier, Charles had been similarly approached by the men of Boston, but once the War of Independence was over George Washington sent his own envoys. It would have been a great irony for the House of Hanover to lose the North American colonies to the Stuarts. But Charles declined the offer for a number of reasons, not the least of which was his lack of a legitimate male heir at the time. He knew that without a due successor the United States could easily fall to Hanover again at his death, thereby defeating the whole Independence effort. Since those days, many other radical events have taken place: the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, two major World Wars, and a host of changes as countries have swapped one style of government for another. Meanwhile, civil and international disputes continue just as they did in the Middle Ages. They are motivated by trade, politics, religion, and whatever other banners are flown to justify the constant struggle for territorial and economic control. The Holy Roman Empire has disappeared, the German Reichs have failed, and the British Empire has collapsed. The Russian Empire fell to Communism, which has itself been disgraced and crumbled to ruin, while Capitalism teeters on the very brink of acceptability. With the Cold War now ended, America faces a new threat to her superpower status from the Pacific countries. In the meantime, the nations of Europe band together in what was once a seemingly well conceived economic community, but which is already suffering from the same pressures of individual custom and national sovereignty that beset the Holy Roman Empire. Whether nations are governed by military-style regimes or elected parliaments, by autocrats or democrats, and whether formally described as monarchist, socialist or republican, the net product is always the same: the few control the fate of the many. In situations of dictatorship this is a natural experience — but it should not be the case in a democratic institution based on the principle of majority vote. True democracy is government by the people for the people, in either direct or representative form, ignoring class distinctions and tolerating minority views. The American Constitution sets out an ideal for this form of democracy ... but, in line with other nations, there is always a large sector of the community that is not represented by the party in power. Because presidents and prime ministers are politically tied, and because political parties take their respective turns at individual helms, the inevitable result is a lack of continuity for the nations concerned. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is no reliable ongoing institution to champion the civil rights and liberties of people in such conditions of ever-changing leadership. Britain does, at least, retain a monarchy, but it is a politically constrained monarchy, and as such is ineffectual in performing its role as guardian of the nation. The United States, unlike Britain, has a Written Constitution — but has no one with the power to uphold its principles against successive governments who determinedly pursue their own politically vested interests. Is there an answer to the anomaly — an answer that could bring not just a ray of hope but a shining light for the future? There certainly is, but its energy relies on those in governmental service appreciating their roles as ‘representatives’ of society rather than presuming to stand at the head of society. Alongside the political administration, an appointed Constitutional champion would be empowered to keep check on any potential disparities and infringements of the Constitution that might occur. This can be achieved in the manner first envisaged by George Washington and the American Fathers. Their original plan was for a democratic Parliament combined with a working Constitutional Monarchy bound not to Parliament or the Church but to the people and their Written Constitution. In such an environment, sovereignty would ultimately rest with the people, while the monarch (as an operative Guardian of the Realm) would pledge an ‘Oath of Fealty to the Nation’ — not the reverse, as in Britain’s case, whereby the nation pays homage to the sovereignty of Parliament and the monarchy. The unfulfilled ambition of the American Fathers was that government ministers should be elected by the majority vote of the people, but that their actions be directed within the boundaries of the Constitution. Because that Constitution belongs to the people, its champion — as George Washington perceived — should be a monarch whose obligation is not to politics or religion but to the sovereign nation. Through the natural system of heredity (being born and bred to the task), such a Constitutional guardian would provide an ‘ongoing continuity’ of public representation through successive governments. In this regard both monarchs and ministers would be servants of the Constitution on behalf of the Community of the Realm. Such a concept of moral government lies at the very heart of the Grail Code, and it remains within the bounds of possibility for every civilized Nation State. A leading British politician recently claimed that it was not his job to be popular! Not so—a popular minister is a trusted minister, and holding a deserved electoral trust facilitates the democratic process. No minister can honestly expound an ideal of equality in society when that minister is deemed to possess some form of prior lordship over society. Class structure is always decided from above, never from below. It is therefore for those on self-made pedestals to be seen to kick them aside in the interests of harmony and unity. Jesus was not in the least humbled when he washed his Apostles’ feet; he was raised to the realm of a true Grail King — the realm of equality and princely service. This is the eternal ‘Precept of the Sangréal’, and it is expressed in Grail lore with the utmost clarity: only by asking ‘Whom does the Grail serve?’ will the wound of the Fisher King be healed, and the Wasteland returned to fertility.

Scottish baronies were historically the only form of British nobility held by prescriptive feudal tenure, capable of being disponed with the land or the caput (seat) rather than passing solely through heritable succession.

Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006) is the fifth and youngest child of Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, and his only child with his third wife, Melania Trump, which makes him a member of the first family of the United States, the Trump family.
Born in New York City, Barron was an apolitical figure during his father's first presidency, attracting media attention despite his mother's attempts to distance him from politics.[1] Trump demonstrated an interest in soccer during that time, signing for D.C. United Academy as a midfielder.
After his father left the White House, he moved to Florida and graduated in 2024 from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach. Trump was invited to become an at-large delegate for Florida at the 2024 Republican National Convention, but declined. In July 2024, he co-founded a real estate company, which was dissolved after his father was reelected to a second presidency. An increase in Republican votes by young men was credited to Barron's advice to his father's campaign about contacting podcasters and other online influencers.[2][3]

Trump Turnberry is a golf resort in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, located on the Firth of Clyde in southwest Scotland. It comprises three links golf courses, a golf academy, a five-star James Miller-designed hotel from 1906, along with lodge and cottage accommodations. Turnberry was a popular golf course and resort from its inception, made accessible because of the Maidens and Dunure Light Railway. It closed in both World Wars for military use, and there was concern it would not open following World War II, but it was redesigned by Mackenzie Ross and re-opened in 1951.
The course was the scene of the 1977 Open Championship, where Tom Watson scored a close victory over Jack Nicklaus. The property has been owned by the Trump Organization since 2014,[1][2] who now brand the course Trump Turnberry.

Alan fitz Flaad (c. 1060 – after 1120) was a Breton knight, probably recruited as a mercenary by Henry I of England in his conflicts with his brothers.[1]
He is now noted as the progenitor of the FitzAlan family, the Earls of Arundel (1267–1580), and the House of Stuart,[6] although his family connections were long a matter of conjecture and controversy.

The Alans (Latin: Alani) were an ancient and medieval Iranic nomadic pastoral people who migrated to what is today the North Caucasus;[1][2][3][4][5] some continued on to Europe and later North Africa. They are generally regarded as part of the Sarmatians, and possibly related to the Massagetae.[6] Modern historians have connected the Alans with the Central Asian Yancai of Chinese sources and with the Aorsi of Roman sources.[7] Having migrated westwards and becoming dominant among the Sarmatians on the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the Alans are mentioned by Roman sources in the 1st century CE.[1][2] At that time they had settled in the region north of the Black Sea and frequently raided the Parthian Empire and the South Caucasus provinces of the Roman Empire.[8] Between 215 and 250 CE the Goths broke their hold on the Pontic Steppe,[4] thereby assimilating a significant population of associated Alans.
After the Hunnic defeat of the Goths on the Pontic Steppe around 375 CE, many of the Alans along with various Germanic tribes migrated westwards. They crossed the Rhine in 406 CE along with the Vandals and Suebi, settling in Orléans and Valence. Around 409 CE they joined the Vandals and Suebi in crossing the Pyrenees into the Iberian Peninsula, settling in Lusitania and Hispania Carthaginensis.[9] The Iberian Alans, soundly defeated by the Visigoths in 418 CE, subsequently surrendered their autonomy to the Hasdingi Vandals.[10] In 428 CE, the Vandals and Alans crossed the Strait of Gibraltar into North Africa, where they founded a kingdom which lasted until its conquest by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 534 CE.[10]
Eventually in the 9th century, those Alans who remained under Hunnic rule established the kingdom of Alania, a regional power in the Northern Caucasus. It survived until the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. Various scholars consider these Alans to be the ancestors of the modern Ossetians.[8][11]
The Alans spoke an Eastern Iranian language which derived from Scytho-Sarmatian; in turn, the language evolved into the modern Ossetian language.[2][12][13] The name Alan represents an Eastern Iranian dialectal form of the Old Iranian term Aryan,[1][2][14] and so is cognate with the name of the country Īrān (from the gen. plur. *aryānām).[15]

18 And that woman which thou sawest, is that [b]great city which reigned over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 17:17 A reason rendered from the chief efficient cause, which is the providence of God, by which alone S. John by inversion of order affirmeth to have come to pass, both that the Kings should execute upon the harlot, that which pleased God, and which he declared in the verse next beforegoing: and also that by one consent and counsel, they should give their kingdom unto the beast, etc., verses 13, 14. For as these being blinded have before depended upon the beck of the beast that lifteth up the harlot, so it is said that afterward it shall come to pass, that they shall turn back, and shall fall away from her when their hearts shall be turned into better state by the grace and mercy of God.

At first, the Roman Pontiff had no immediate connection with Pergamos and the hierarchy there; yet, in course of time, the Pontificate of Rome and the Pontificate of Pergamos came to be identified. Pergamos itself became part and parcel of the Roman empire, when Attalus III., the last of its kings, at his death, left by will all his dominions to the Roman people, B.c. 133.* For some time after the kingdom of Pergamos was merged in the Roman dominions, there was no one who could set himself openly and advisedly to lay claim to all the dignity inherent in the old title of the kings of Pergamos. The original powers even of the Roman Pontiffs seem to have been by that time abridged,+ but when Julius Ceasar, who had previously been elected Pontifex Maximus,{ became also, as Emperor, the supreme civil ruler of the Romans, then, as head of the Roman state, and head of the Roman religion, all the powers and functions of the true legitimate Babylonian Pontiff were supremely vested in him, and he found himself in a position to assert these powers.

The Robertians (sometimes called the Robertines in modern scholarship) are the proposed Frankish family which was ancestral to the Capetian dynasty, and thus to the royal families of France and of many other countries (currently Spain and Luxembourg). The Capetians appear first in the records as powerful nobles serving under the Carolingian dynasty of Charlemagne in West Francia, which later became France. As their power increased, they came into conflict with the older royal family and attained the crown several times before the eventual start of the continuous rule of the descendants of Hugh Capet (ruled 987–996).
Hugh's paternal ancestral family, the Robertians, appear in documents that trace the family back to his great-grandfather Robert the Strong (d. 866). His origins remain unclear, but medieval records hint at an origin in East Francia, in present-day Germany, an area then still also ruled by the Carolingians. In particular, Regino of Prüm (died 915) states that Robert the Strong's son Odo was said to be a relative (nepos) of a Count Meingaud, count of an area near Worms, who died in 892, and there are indications that Maingaud's family used the names Robert and Odo.
Modern proposals about their ancestry further back are based on the idea that there was one family which frequently named its sons Robert, including Robert III of Worms (800–834), Robert the Strong (d. 866), and Robert I of France (866–923). For example, one proposed ancestor is Robert of Hesbaye (c. 800), about whom there are almost no records.
The Robertian family figured prominently amongst the Carolingian nobility and married into this royal family. Eventually, the Robertians themselves produced Frankish kings such as the brothers Odo (reigned 888–898) and Robert I (r. 922–923), then Hugh Capet (r. 987–996), who ruled from his seat in Paris as the first Capetian king of France.
Although Philip II Augustus (r. 1180–1223) was officially the last monarch of France with the title "King of the Franks" (rex Francorum) and the first to style himself "King of France" (roi de France), in (systematic application of) historiography, Hugh Capet holds this distinction. He founded the Capetians, the royal dynasty that ruled France until the revolution of the Second French Republic in 1848—save during the interregnum of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Members of the family still reign in Europe today : both King Felipe VI of Spain and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg descend from this family through the Bourbon cadet branch of the dynasty.
Origin
The oldest known Robertians probably originated in the county of Hesbaye, around Tongeren in modern-day Belgium. The first certain ancestor is Robert the Strong count of Paris,[1] probably the son of Robert III of Worms, grandson of Robert of Hesbaye, and nephew of Ermengarde of Hesbaye, who was the daughter of Ingram, and wife of Louis the Pious. Other related family includes Cancor, founder of the Lorsch Abbey, his sister Landrada and her son Saint Chrodogang, archbishop of Metz.
History
Robert the Strong
The sons of Robert the Strong were Odo and Robert, who were both king of Western Francia and ruled during the Carolingian era. His daughter Richildis married a count of Troyes. The family became Counts of Paris under Odo and "Dukes of the Franks" under Robert, possessing large parts of the ancient Neustria. Although quarrels continued between Robert's son Hugh the Great and Louis IV of France, they were mended upon the ascension of Lothair I of France (954–986). Lothair greatly expanded the Robertian dominions when he granted Hugh Aquitaine as well as much of Burgundy,[2] both rich and influential territories, arguably two of the richest in France.
The Carolingian dynasty ceased to rule France upon the death of Louis V (d. 987). After the death of Louis, the son of Hugh the Great, Hugh Capet was chosen as king of the Franks, nominally the last ruler of West Francia. Given the resurgence of the Holy Roman Empire title and dignities in the West Francian kingdom, Europe was later believed to have entered a new age, so Hugh came to be known in historiography as the first king of France, as western civilization was perceived to have entered the High Middle Ages period. Hugh was crowned at Noyon on July 3, 987 with the full support of Holy Roman Emperor Otto III. With Hugh's coronation, a new era began for France, and his descendants came to be named, after him, the Capetians. They ruled France as the Capetians, Valois, and Bourbons until the French Revolution. They returned after 1815 and ruled until Louis Philippe was deposed in 1848.
However, they have continued to rule Spain, with two republican interruptions, through the Bourbon Dynasty right down to the current king Felipe VI.

When were the Jesuits restored?
August 7, 1814
Pressured by the royal courts of Portugal, France and Spain, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society, causing Jesuits throughout the world to renounce their vows and go into exile. Pope Pius VII, a Benedictine, restored the Society on August 7, 1814."

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."
Name origins and usage
The name of the dynasty derives from its founder, Hugh, who was known as "Hugh Capet".[4] The meaning of "Capet" (a nickname rather than a surname of the modern sort) is unknown. While folk etymology identifies it with "cape", other suggestions indicate it might be connected to the Latin word caput ("head"), and explain it as meaning "chief" or "head".[citation needed]
Historians in the 19th century (see House of France) came to apply the name "Capetian" to both the ruling house of France and to the wider-spread male-line descendants of Hugh Capet. It was not a contemporary practice. The name "Capet" has also been used as a surname for French royalty, particularly but not exclusively those of the House of Capet. One notable use was during the French Revolution, when the dethroned King Louis XVI (a member of the House of Bourbon and a direct male-line descendant of Hugh Capet) and Queen Marie Antoinette (a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine) were referred to as "Louis and Antoinette Capet" (the queen being addressed as "the Widow Capet" after the execution of her husband).

In the second prelude, for Chief- Gene ral read highest Leader, and for captain read leader. For the first Leader the Spanish Autograph has Captain General, and for the second (leader), caudillo ; the former title expressing, as Father Rothaan remarks, a Commander-in-Chief of lawful warfare, the latter designating rather the leader of a faction, and being often used in a bad sense, as of a captain of robbers or malefactors. In order to express in some measure this distinction, he has made use of the terms Dux Generalis (LeaderGeneral) and CAPUT (HEAD) in his literal Version. The Common Version makes no distinction ; and hence, in order to render this Version with strict faithfulness, must read, both here and in the next two paragraphs, leader instead of captain, although (as the reader will already have perceived) this latter is the term which erceived) this latter is the term which corresponds the more nearly with the Spanish original. In all three places Father Rothaan has caput : in the third prelude he has again Dux instead of Imperator : see above. In the first point, in order to be strictly with the Common Version, readier?/ and smoky chair in stead of chair offire and smoke ; although this latter is what the Autograph has, a certain great chair of fire and smoke, " in which", observes Father Rothaan, there is no solidity, no true glory, but mere agitation and perpetual disturbance joined with thick darkness"; And this image", he adds, " exhibits the evil spirit such as he is, but not such as he offers himself to men's minds."

Lothair I (Dutch and Medieval Latin: Lotharius; German: Lothar; French: Lothaire; Italian: Lotario; 795 – 29 September 855) was a 9th-century Carolingian emperor (817–855, with his father until 840) and king of Italy (818–855) and Middle Francia (843–855).
Lothair I was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis I and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye,[1] daughter of Ingerman the duke of Hesbaye. On several occasions, Lothair led his full-brothers Pepin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father to protest against attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains. Upon the father's death, Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three-year civil war (840–843). The struggles between the brothers led directly to the breakup of the Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne, and laid the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany.[2]
Early life and reign
Kingdom of Bavaria
Lothair was born in 795, to Louis the Pious and Ermengarde of Hesbaye. His father was the son of the reigning Emperor, Charlemagne. Little is known of Lothair's early life, which was probably passed at the court of his grandfather Charlemagne. In 814, the elderly emperor died, and left his sole surviving legitimate son Louis the Pious as successor to his vast empire. The next year, Lothair would be sent to govern Bavaria for his father, the new emperor.[1] In 817, Louis the Pious[1] drew up his Ordinatio Imperii.[3] In this, Louis designated Lothair as his principal heir and ordered that Lothair would be the overlord of Louis' younger sons Pippin of Aquitaine (who was 20) and Louis the German (who was 13), as well as his nephew (Lothair's cousin) Bernard of Italy. Lothair would also inherit their lands if they were to die childless. Lothair, aged 22, was then crowned joint emperor by his father at Aachen.[1] At the same time, Aquitaine and Bavaria were granted to his brothers Pippin and Louis, respectively, as subsidiary kingdoms.[3] Following the death of Bernard, brought on by his plotting against and blinding by Louis the Pious, Lothair also received the Kingdom of Italy.[citation needed] In 821, Lothair married Ermengarde (d. 851), daughter of Hugh the Count of Tours.[1]
In 822, he assumed the government of Italy, and at Easter, 5 April 823, he was crowned emperor again by Pope Paschal I, this time at Rome. In November 824, Lothair promulgated a statute, the Constitutio Romana, concerning the relations of pope and emperor, which reserved the supreme power to the secular potentate, and he afterwards issued various ordinances for the good government of Italy.[1]
On Lothair's return to his father's court, his stepmother Judith won his consent to her plan for securing a kingdom for her son Charles, a scheme which was carried out in 829,[1] when the young prince was given Alemannia as king.[citation needed] Lothair, however, soon changed his attitude and spent the succeeding decade in constant strife over the division of the Empire with his father. He was alternately master of the Empire, and banished and confined to Italy, at one time taking up arms in alliance with his brothers and at another fighting against them, whilst the bounds of his appointed kingdom were in turn extended and reduced.[1][4]
Division of the kingdom
The first rebellion began in 830. All three brothers fought their father, whom they deposed. In 831, their father was reinstated and he deprived Lothair of his imperial title and gave Italy to Charles. The second rebellion was instigated by Angilbert II, Archbishop of Milan in 833, and again Louis was deposed in 834. Lothair, through the loyalty of the Lombards and later reconciliations, retained Italy and the imperial position through all remaining divisions of the Empire by his father.[4][5]
When Louis the Pious was dying in 840, he sent the imperial insignia to Lothair, who, disregarding the various partitions, claimed the whole of the Empire. He was 45 years old when his father died. Negotiations with his brother Louis the German and his half-brother Charles, both of whom resisted this claim, were followed by an alliance of the younger brothers against Lothair.[2] A decisive battle was fought at Fontenay-en-Puisaye on 25 June 841, when, in spite of his[1] and his allied nephew Pepin II of Aquitaine's[citation needed] personal gallantry, Lothair was defeated and fled to Aachen. With fresh troops he began a war of plunder, but the forces of his brothers were too strong, and taking with him such treasure as he could collect, he abandoned his capital to them.[1][clarification needed] He met with the leaders of the Stellinga in Speyer and promised them his support in return for theirs, but Louis and then the native Saxon nobility put down the Stellinga in the next years.[citation needed]
Peace negotiations began, and in June 842 the brothers met on an island in the Saône. They agreed to an arrangement which developed, after much difficulty and delay, into the Treaty of Verdun, signed in August 843. By this, Lothair received the imperial title as well as northern Italy and a long stretch of territory from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, essentially along the valleys of the Rhine and the Rhône; this territory includes the regions Lorraine, Alsace, Burgundy, and Provence. He soon ceded Italy to his eldest son, Louis, and remained in his new kingdom, engaging in alternate quarrels and reconciliations with his brothers and in futile efforts to defend his lands from the attacks of the Northmen (as Vikings were known in Frankish writings) and the Saracens (as those loyal to the various Fatimids, Umayyads and Abbasides are known in Frankish writings).[1][5]
In 845 the count of Arles, Fulcrad, led a rebellion in Provence. The emperor put it down and the count joined him in an expedition against the Saracens in Italy in 846.
Death and aftermath
In 855 he became seriously ill, and despairing of recovery renounced the throne, divided his lands among his three sons, and on 23 September entered the monastery of Prüm, where he died six days later. He was buried at Prüm, where his remains were found in 1860.[1] It was at Prüm that Lothair was most commemorated.[6]
The same year, Lothair's kingdom was divided between his three sons[1] in a deal called the Treaty of Prüm: the eldest, Louis II, received Italy and the title of emperor; the second, Lothair II, received Lotharingia; the youngest, Charles, received Provence.[citation needed]

The name Lothair traces its origins to German - Old High German and is derived from two elements: loth, meaning famous, and hari, meaning army. Thus, Lothair directly translates to famous army. This name gained prevalence during the 9th and 10th centuries in the Frankish Empire, which encompassed vast territories of modern-day Germany, France, and Italy.
In history, the name Lothair is notably associated with several prominent figures. The most well-known bearer of this name is Lothair I, who was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor in the year 817. Lothair I was a key figure in the Carolingian dynasty and played a vital role in shaping the political landscape of medieval Europe. His reign marked significant accomplishments and challenges, ultimately cementing his position in history.
In modern-day usage, the name Lothair has become less common but still maintains some presence. It is occasionally bestowed upon children as a nod to their Germanic or medieval heritage, giving them a sense of historical and unique identity. Moreover, the name may occasionally appear in works of literature, films, or other forms of popular culture to evoke a sense of nobility or historicity. Overall, the name Lothair encapsulates the fascinating historical connections of the Frankish Empire and its influential figures.

The name Luther traces its origins back to English, where it emerged from the word leod meaning people and here meaning army. This etymology gives rise to the meaning Army of the People, making Luther a name that embodies strength and collective action. Over time, Luther has appeared in various historical contexts, leaving its mark on different cultures and regions around the world.
In history, the name Luther gained prominence with the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Martin Luther, an influential German theologian and composer, challenged the practices of the Catholic Church and sparked a movement that would reshape the religious and social landscape of Europe. Martin Luther's prolific writings and his translation of the Bible into German played a significant role in spreading Protestantism. His name became synonymous with the reformist movement, and Lutheranism was established as a distinct Christian denomination.
In modern-day usage, the name Luther continues to resonate with historical significance and strength. It is often chosen by parents who desire a name that exudes resilience, leadership, and a connection to the past. The name Luther can be found worldwide, and its usage extends beyond German-speaking countries. As a testament to its enduring appeal, Luther has also found its way into popular culture. Whether it be in literature, film, or music, the name Luther maintains its authoritative presence, leaving an indelible impression on those who hear or bear it.

The Western Schism, also known as the Papal Schism, the Great Occidental Schism, or the Schism of 1378 (Latin: Magnum schisma occidentale, Ecclesiae occidentalis schisma), was a split within the Catholic Church lasting from 1378 to 1417 in which bishops residing in Rome and Avignon both claimed to be the true pope, and were joined by a third line of Pisan claimants in 1409. The schism was driven by personalities and political allegiances, with the Avignon Papacy being closely associated with the French monarchy.
The papacy had resided in Avignon since 1309, but Pope Gregory XI returned to Rome in 1377. The Catholic Church split in 1378 after Gregory XI's death and Urban VI's election. A group of French cardinals declared his election invalid and elected Clement VII as pope. After several attempts at reconciliation, the Council of Pisa (1409) declared that both rivals were illegitimate and elected a third purported pope. The schism was finally resolved when the Pisan claimant Antipope John XXIII called the Council of Constance (1414–1418). The Council arranged the renunciation of both Roman pope Gregory XII and Pisan antipope John XXIII. The Avignon antipope Benedict XIII was excommunicated, while Pope Martin V was elected and reigned from Rome.

Real talk w/ Heidi - Broken Systems & Overcoming

This is an interesting piece about law change needed in relation to a stalking situation where a woman was targeted by a man who spent years compiling binders of “evidence” against her, filing complaints to the FBI and her employer.
Often after rejection, those that engage in this behavior become obsessive, trying to prove that their target is guilty of criminal acts, wrongdoing, and so forth…in retaliation.
This is on a smaller scale with only one stalker, but often in gang stalking situations it starts off with one embittered person that triangulates many others to join in the retaliation and gather “evidence,” in order to “punish” their target.
This is accomplished by triangulating systems nefariously such as law enforcement and the court system. There will be employment interference, harassment with the victim’s housing, false reports, etc., as the perpetrator pursues their own personal vendetta, but masks it as public “concern.”
This is a methodical, calculated, and diabolical tactic employed by a scorned individual who then manipulates others, creating a large scale, community level stalking effort.
The victim then has countless stalkers tracking, monitoring, photographing and invading their privacy rights by a large group who takes on mob mentality & a vigilante justice mindset, to justify their horrific conduct, while terrorizing the victim.
Yes to the Creep Act!!!

The word Ormus contained within its spelling the history of Sion. Its symbol was shaped like a capital M. Within the frame of the M were four letters - OR and US - which together with the M spell "Ormus." These letters combine a number of other key words and symbols important to Sion. "Ours means 'BEAR' in French. Ursus, or echo in Latin, suggested, as subsequently became apparent, Dagobert II and the Merovingian dynasty. Orme is French for 'elm.' Or, of course, is 'gold.'

The Thirteen Colonies were the British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America which broke away from the British Crown in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), and joined to form the United States of America.
The Thirteen Colonies in their traditional groupings were: the New England Colonies (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut); the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware); and the Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia).[2] These colonies were part of British America, which also included territory in The Floridas, the Caribbean, and what is today Canada.[3]
The Thirteen Colonies were separately administered under the Crown, but had similar political, constitutional, and legal systems, and each was dominated by Protestant English-speakers. The first of the colonies, Virginia, was established at Jamestown in 1607. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the New England Colonies were substantially motivated by their founders' concerns related to the practice of religion. The other colonies were founded for business and economic expansion. The Middle Colonies were established on the former Dutch colony of New Netherland.
Between 1625 and 1775, the colonial population grew from 2 thousand to 2.4 million, largely displacing the region's Native Americans. The population included people subject to a system of slavery, which was legal in all of the colonies. In the 18th century, the British government operated under a policy of mercantilism, in which the central government administered its colonies for Britain's economic benefit.
The 13 colonies had a degree of self-governance and active local elections,[a] and they resisted London's demands for more control over them. The French and Indian War (1754–1763) against France and its Indian allies led to growing tensions between Britain and the 13 colonies. During the 1750s, the colonies began collaborating instead of dealing directly with Britain. With the help of colonial printers and newspapers, these inter-colonial activities and concerns were shared and led to calls for protection of the colonists' "Rights as Englishmen", especially the principle of "no taxation without representation".
Late 18th century conflicts with the British government over taxes and rights led to the American Revolution, in which the Thirteen Colonies joined for the first time to form the Continental Congress and raised the Continental Army, declaring independence in 1776. They fought the Revolutionary War with the aid of the Kingdom of France and, to a much lesser degree, the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of Spain.[6]

Edward Decker explains the significance of the design of Washington, D.C. in FREEMASONRY:
582
Satan's Door to America:
Take any good street map of downtown Washington, D.C. and find the Capitol Building.
Facing the Capitol from the Mall and using the Capitol as the head or top of the Compass,
the left leg is represented by Pennsylvania Ave. and the right leg, Maryland Ave. The Square
is found in the usual Masonic position with intersection of Canal St. and Louisiana Ave. The
left leg of the Compass stands on the Jefferson Memorial. The circle drive and short streets
behind the Capitol form the head and ears of what Satanists call the Goat of Mendes or
Goat's head.
On top [to the north] of the White House is an inverted 5-pointed star, or Pentagram. The
point is facing South in true occult fashion. It sits within the intersections of Connecticut and
Vermont Avenues north to Dupont and Logan Circles, with Rhode Island and Massachusetts
going to Washington Circle to the West and Mt. Vernon Square on the East.
The center of the pentagram is 16th St. where, thirteen blocks due north of the very center of
the White House, the Masonic House of The Temple sits at the top of this occult iceberg.
The Washington Monument stands in perfect line to the intersecting point of the form of the
Masonic square, stretching from the House of the Temple to the Capitol building. Within the
hypotenuse of that right triangle sit many of the headquarters buildings for the most powerful
departments of government, such as the Justice Dept., U.S. Senate and the Internal Revenue
Service.
Every key Federal building from the White House to the Capitol Building has had a
cornerstone laid in a Masonic ritual and had specific Masonic paraphernalia placed in each
one.
The Washington Monument actually represents the Phallic Principle upon which Speculative
Masonry is based. From above, the monument and its circular drive form the esoteric
Masonic "Point within a circle." The Reflecting Pool bears its shadowed image, with the
illusion duplicated in the Lincoln Memorial.79
Michael Baigent notes the final Templar mark: "The Capitol and the White House were each to
become focal points of an elaborate geometry governing the layout of the nation’s capital city.
This geometry, origin-ally devised by an architect named Pierre l'Enfant, was subsequently
modified by Washington and Jefferson so as to produce specifically octagonal patterns
incorporating the particular cross used as a device by Masonic Templars."80
Baigent says, "It is in America that our story comes full circle, for it is there that the Knights
Templar have received the most fulsome public homage to be paid them anywhere in the
world."81
583
Sion and Templars Reconcile
The Illuminati planned to discard Great Britain as protector of the Priory of Sion after creating a
New World Order under Templar protection. Ben Franklin was exposed to this plan while in
Paris, where he also learned that peace between Sion and the Temple was to be made in
America. Templar Freemasonry was then to build the New World Order in America under the
watchful eye of Sion.
The story of the rapprochement between Sion and the Templars is contained in the Seal of the
Illuminati, which identifies the Illuminati with both the Knights Templar and the Priory of Sion.
(The Seal can be seen on the left-back of a $1 bill.) The Templars are represented by the thirteen
steps of the unfinished pyramid and the thirteen letters in the words, Annuit Coeptis. The Priory
of Sion is represented by the Egyptian form of the All-Seeing Eye atop the unfinished pyramid.
In 1776 Ben Franklin incorporated the Seal of the Illuminati as part of the Great Seal of the
United States. He then set up headquarters in Paris from which to direct the American
revolution.82 Afterwards, Templar America was to lead the world into peace and prosperity under
the watchful eye of Sion.83
Daniel's Vision: The Great Seal of the United States
E. Raymond Capt, author of Our Great Seal (1979), writes: "It was late in the afternoon of July
4, 1776, after the members of the Continental Congress had signed the 'Declaration of
Independence' that a resolution was passed: 'Resolved, that Dr. Franklin, Mr. J. Adams and Mr.
Jefferson be a committee to prepare a device for a seal of the United States of America.'"84
Franklin and Jefferson were both Templar Masons and members of the Illuminati. Adams was a
Mason, but did not become aware of the illuminati influence in America until the end of the 18th
century, at which time he became alarmed.85
At the behest of Franklin, the Seal of the Illuminati became
part of the Great Seal of the United States. Above and
below the Illuminati pyramid are the Latin words Annuit
Oceptis Novus Ordo Seclorum, meaning "Announcing the
Birth of a New Secular Order!" (New Secular Order can
also be interpreted as New World Order.)
As the Latin word seclorum implies, America was to be a
secular nation, divorced from all religion - a harbinger of
the Universal Masonic New World Order. The United States
was not the New World Order, "but the birth of," or catalyst
behind, a new Masonic concept for the world. America was
assigned the task of finishing the universal pyramid empire
584
for Templar Freemasonry.
Hovering above the unfinished pyramid is the triangular capstone with rays of the sun shooting
from its peak. In the capstone is an eye like the eye of a man.
The capstone signifies the dwelling place of the pagan god. The All-Seeing Eye represents the
pagan god. The gods of eastern mystery religions were believed by pagans to have dwelt in the
peaks of the highest mountains; therefore, pagans literally worshipped
on mountain peaks, called "high places" in Scripture. Where there were no mountains, pyramids
were built to represent mountain peaks.
Dr. Merrill F. Unger, in Archaeology and the Old Testament, informs us that the pyramids or
ziggurats of Mesopotamia were given the names Mountain of God, or Hill of Heaven.86 Like the
gods who dwell in the mountain peaks, their gods are said to have dwelt on the peak of these
pyramids.
In Eastern mystery religions, the "triangle" is the geometric symbol used to represent the
pyramid or high place on mountain peaks. The Egyptians placed inside their triangle a single eye
to represent their sun-god, Osiris. This symbol was adopted by the Priory of Sion and then by
Freemasonry. The prophet Daniel saw this symbol when he described the Beast nation as the
"little horn" in Daniel 7:8:
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before
whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn
were eyes like eyes of man....
Horn in Hebrew literally means apeak of a mountain, a ray of light. It comes from a prime root
word, which figuratively means a horn that shoots out rays, shines.87
What is most astounding about Daniel's vision is his description of what he saw inside the horn,
or sun-rayed triangle. He says, "in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man....
For some unknown reason translators have made the Hebrew word for "eyes" plural. In the
original, however, it is singular.88 What Daniel actually said was, "in this sun-rayed triangle was
an eye like the eye of man What Daniel actually saw was the Great Seal of the United States of
America - the emblem of revived Rome.
John's Vision: The Base of the Seal
Superimposed on the base layer of bricks on the unfinished pyramid are the Roman numerals
MDCCLXXVI (1776), representing the founding date of both the Illuminati and the United
States of America. The year 1776 is of utmost significance in identifying the birth of revived
Rome. It is the only date that arranges the Roman numerals in the exact order spoken of by John
585
in Revelation 13:18: "and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" (600 + 60 + 6 = 666).
To decipher this arrangement, we must understand more about triangle symbology. We
mentioned above that the triangle is symbolic of the pagan pyramid temple or high place. Eastern
mystery religions also use triangles to symbolize the three planes of creation - heaven, earth, and
hell.
The 33rd degree Templar Scottish Rite of Freemasonry recognizes these three planes of creation
in its Jewel. These triangles also symbolize the three secret societies in Freemasonry: (1) the
Blue Lodge, degrees 1-3; (2) the Scottish Rite, degrees 4-32; and (3) the Supreme Council,
degree 33.
The Jewel of the 33rd degree consists of three interlaced triangles, signifying the Supreme
Council's dominion over the three secret societies within the Scottish Rite, as well as its
perceived dominion over the three planes of creation. Notice the double-headed eagle of the
Roman empire in the center of the hooped serpent biting its own tail. The hooped serpent
represents zero, the evolutionary origin of Freemasonry's serpent god. In the background is the
splayed cross of the Knights Templar.
According to Warren Weston in Father of Lies, each plane of
creation has its own occult trinity represented by the three
corners of the triangle - god the father, god the mother, and god
the son.s9 God the father (the highest numerical value) is at the
peak of each triangle, god the mother (the next highest value) is
at the lower left, and god the son (the lowest value) is at the
lower right.
We have separated the three triangles below, placing them in a
row to represent the three planes of occult creation. By grouping
the nine Roman numerals in the above
order of threes, remembering that the old style for "M" was CIC with the right-hand "C" turned
backwards, we are able to decipher the mark of the Beast:
Hidden in the Great Seal of the United States of America is the mark of the Beast in the exact
numerical order prophesied by John. Revelation 13:16-17 informs us that the number will be tied
to the medium of exchange; that it will be carried in the palm of the hand or in the forehead; that
no man can buy or sell without it.
In 1934 President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a 32nd-degree Freemason at the time, had the Seal of
the Illuminati placed on the reverse side of our $1 bill. Since that time, when we in America buy
and sell with the almighty dollar, the mark of the Beast is in the palm of our hand. If we use
credit cards, the mark of the Beast is transferred from our hand to our forehead, for the Greek
586
word for forehead means to transfer.90 The Greek also suggests the use of computers by defining
forehead as accompaniment or association. "91 For instance, behind the forehead is the brain, or
human computer. Synonyms of accompaniment and association are companion and
resemblance. John's use of the word forehead, therefore, may suggest a companion to, or
resemblance of the human brain - a computer.
Don't be alarmed. This type of buying and selling is not what John warns us against. His warning
is against the ultimate cashless society that the computers are working towards. We are warned
against accepting a mandatory private number through which all buying and selling will be
controlled. For example, the so called "Smart Card," the size of a credit card, has a chip that can
hold 1,600 pp of information. Our new President is proposing to control health care from birth
with this card.
THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The left side of the Great Seal is spiritual. The All-Seeing Eye hovering above the unfinished
pyramid represents the Priory of Sion overseeing the Templar task of building a universal New
World Order.
The right side of the Great Seal is political. The 13-starred hexagram hovering above the Flying
Eagle represents the union of Sion and the Temple brought about by the revived Roman empire.
The American Eagle: Symbol of Revived Rome
The coat of arms for America became known as the Great Seal of the United States. As we have
just seen, the visions of both the prophets Daniel and John, prophesied this emblem or symbol of
the Beast. On the front side of the two-sided Seal is displayed the so-called American Eagle.
William Still explains what the eagle really represents:
587
[T]he small tuft at the back of the head indicates a hybrid
combination of an eagle and the mythical phoenix. This is
hardly a revolutionary discovery. The eagle was not the
original bird pictured on many coins of early America.
[These coins do] not show the rugged, familiar lines of the
American bald eagle, but the thin, long-necked, crested profile
of the phoenix.92
The phoenix is a legendary bird which according to legend
lived 500 years, burned itself to ashes on a pyre, and rose alive
from the ashes to live again. It was one of the most familiar
symbols in Egyptian and Atlantean cultures. Moreover, the single-headed phoenix-eagle was the
national emblem of ancient Rome, before Constantine divided the empire. Mackey's
Encyclopedia of Freemasonry tells the story: "The Eagle Displayed, that is, with extended wings,
as if in the act of flying, has always, from the majestic character of the bird, been deemed an
emblem of imperial power. Marius, the [Roman] consul, first consecrated the eagle, about eight
years before the Christian era, to be the sole Roman standard at the head of every legion, and
hence it became the standard of the Roman Empire ever afterward. As the single-headed eagle
was thus adopted as the symbol of imperial power, the double-headed eagle naturally became the
representative of a double empire; and on the division of the Roman dominions into the eastern
and western empire, which were afterward consolidated by the Carolingian race [through which
the Merovingian Holy Bloodline survived] into what was ever after called the Holy Roman
Empire, the double-headed eagle was assumed as the emblem of this double empire; one head
looking, as it were, to the West, or Rome, and the other to the East, or Byzantium."93
To Freemasonry the double-headed eagle represents immortality and resurrection. In this form it
becomes the emblem of the 33rd degree Mason. Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry makes
one of the most profound statements regarding the double-headed eagle, which statement
suggests that the assignment of the Templar Scottish Rite is to revive the Roman empire:
The double-headed eagle was brought by Crusaders to the Emperors of the East and West....
[It] was first introduced as a symbol into Freemasonry in the year 1758. In that year the Body
calling itself the Council of Emperors of the East and West was established in Paris.... [Its]
successors today are the Supreme Council, 33rd degree.~
Mackey subtly hides the Templars in the name "Crusaders," whose plan, after having conquered
Jerusalem, was to revive the Roman empire. This "Secret Doctrine" was kept under lock for five
centuries until the New World was discovered. In 1801, the year the Templar Scottish Rite
Supreme Council of the world was founded at Charleston, the double-headed eagle was adopted
by that body, signifying that the Emperors of the East and West transferred their headquarters to
America where the Roman empire would be revived.
588
The Flowing Ribbon
In the beak of the phoenix-eagle is a flowing ribbon inscribed with E pluribus Unum, meaning
"one out of many." William Still remarks of the slogan: "This has a double meaning: both the
unification of the American states into the American nation, and the ultimate goal, a unification
of nations into a one world state."95
The slogan, "one out of many, " has prophetic significance in identifing revived Rome. The
"one" Roman Empire covered "many" nations - all of Europe and the territory of the old Grecian
Empire. "One out of many" also refers to "many nationalities." Rome itself had every nationality
living in its city limits. Likewise, America, which was settled by Europeans from the territories
of the old Roman Empire, has the distinguishing mark of being a mixed multitude of races. The
prophet Daniel spoke of revived Rome in his interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel
2:43: "And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture...
The apostle John affirms the same in Revelation 13:1: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea. and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea...." Literally the United States rose up from between two
oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific, and became to the Masonic hierarchy the "New Atlantis," and
was prophesied by the prophets Daniel and John as the revived Rome. As we have noted,
figuratively "sea" means "a mixture of peoples. or nationalities, or nations." All three are true in
America today. Every race and nationality is represented in our citizenry. And 50 nation-states
make up the whole of the United States.
Ten Kings United with the Beast: Ridden in the Glory
Cloud
One day the Beast will cause ten European nations to agree to
unite with him. What crisis will initiate this merger can only be
a matter of speculation. It could occur as a result of war, or it
may be an economic merger. Western Europe is in fear of both.
The unopposed military might of the United States and the
economic threat the Americas (Canada, the U.S.A., and
Mexico) present to Europe is of paramount concern to the Old
World. Moreover, London, "that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth," is also
considered a threat, because its banking system controls the finances of the world.
The glory cloud hovering above the hybrid Eagle represents unity between Sion and the Temple.
In the glory cloud is the hexagram, or six-pointed star created by a unique arrangement of
thirteen pentagrams, or five-pointed stars. E. Raymond Capt, in Our Great Seal, states: "This
hexagram is composed of two equilateral triangles and in each triangle are exactly ten stars."97
As we have learned, the hexagram is the coat of arms of the Priory of Sion. The thirteen
589
pentagrams (five-pointed stars) represent both the thirteen colonies of America, and the Knights
Templar. They demonstrate the desired unity the United States will bring to Sion and the
Temple. The ten pentagrams in the two equilateral triangles represent the perfect unity of
government in "New Atlantis," that is, a government ruled over by ten kings, as was old Atlantis.
These are the same ten kings who Will be given power for a short time with the Beast.
In the center of the hexagram is a hexagon, within which are seven stars. Thus, the Glory Cloud
provides us with the individual numbers "7" and "10", while including the seven with the ten.
This correlates with the body of the Beast with seven heads and ten horns. The "7" could
represent the seven-nation Trilateral Commission, four of which are members of the European
Economic Community, which will eventually consist of ten nations.
The Olive Branch of Peace
In the right talon of the Eagle is an olive branch with thirteen leaves and thirteen olives.
Raymond Capt says, "The official explanation is that it signifies peace."98 It has a deeper
meaning, however. It represents America holding out the olive branch of peace to the Priory of
Sion and the Knights Templar, and ultimately to the world.
The Arrows of Military Might
In the left talon of the Eagle are thirteen arrows, which appear to contradict the olive branch of
peace. The official explanation, says Capt, is that "they represent the war power of the country,
which is thus shown to be in a state of readiness and preparation." He adds "The Arrows are
most appropriately given the secondary or sinister place in the grasp of the Eagle's talon.
America prefers peace to war. We offer first, the right hand of friendship. However, we are
prepared for conflict."99
The arrows and olive branch also represent the means by which the Beast will maintain peace on
earth. The apostle John asks in Revelation 13:4 "Who can make war with him [the Beast]?"
Daniel says in 8:25, by peace he shall destroy many. Peace will be maintained by threat of war.
The Shield of Defense
To complement the arrows of military might and the olive branch of peace is the thirteen-striped
escutcheon, or shield. "From earliest times," says Capt, "the shieldans been the most honored of
defensive arms.... Its deep significance has continued to remain among all peoples as the emblem
of supreme protection." 100
Daniel 11:38 describes the Beast as honoring the god of forces, which in Hebrew means military
defense. The United States of America has the most awesome defense force in the world. Our
"Star Wars" program being built in outer space is supposedly for "defense." Our military budget
is called a "defense budget."
590
In Conclusion
The clandestine struggle between English and French Freemasonry is over the control of a one
world government. Christians have lived under every and all forms of government, and may
experience living, at the beginning at least, under a one-world government.
This is not a problem, for Christians lived under the one-world government of ancient Rome.
The problem is Christians who have billed ranks with Freemasonry - the order that is destined to
establish the one-world government of the Antichrist. If you are a Christian in the Lodge, you are
contributing to this creation.
Christ pleads with you in Revelation 18:4, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers
of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
The apostle John completes his prophecy with these words recorded in Revelation 22:20: "He
which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
AMEN

NASA Elegantly Shuts Down Those New Zodiac Star Theories
by
Melissa Locker
Jul 17, 2020 7:30 AM PT
new story about an old misunderstanding is once again circulating—and NASA is once again setting the record straight.
It all started with a resurfaced story NASA “discovered” a 13th zodiac sign—Ophiuchus, or the serpent-bearer. Anyone born between November 29 and December 17 would no longer be a Scorpio or a Sagittarius, but an Ophiuchus. Scorpio’s window would be cut to just seven days and the entire astrology chart would shift, meaning some Pisces and Leos and Libras would have different star signs. As astrology lovers online started to panic, NASA gently waded into the online fray to set the record straight.
“We see your comments about a zodiac story that re-emerges every few years,” the space agency wrote in a tweet. “No, we did not change the zodiac.” It includes a link to a Tumblr post that explains what actually happened.
In a blog post, NASA patiently explains the difference between astronomy (“the scientific study of everything in space”) and astrology (“[i]t’s not considered a science”). NASA then notes that the zodiac signs are simply constellations that are in line with the Earth and the Sun as the planet follows its orbit. Earth actually travels through 13 signs, including Capricorn, Aries, and, yes, Ophiuchus, but some 3,000 years ago the Babylonians—not NASA—decided 12 was neater than 13, so excluded the 13th zodiac sign and divided the zodiac into 12 parts based on the 12 months of their calendar, according to NASA.
“The line from Earth through the sun points to Virgo for 45 days, but it points to Scorpius for only 7 days. To make a tidy match with their 12-month calendar, the Babylonians ignored the fact that the sun actually moves through 13 constellations, not 12. Then they assigned each of those 12 constellations equal amounts of time,” NASA explains in their post.
Back in 2011, as TIME reported, astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars has shifted, so the sun points to different parts of the zodiac at different times. “So, we didn’t change any zodiac signs…we just did the math,” the space agency’s blog post concludes.
That post was originally written in 2016, but as the story of a shifting zodiac circulates once again, NASA has retweeted it again.
While the Tumblr post it linked too is fairly straight forward, the staid space agency gets a little spicier in its take on astronomy on its early education site. “No one has shown that astrology can be used to predict the future or describe what people are like based only on their birth date,” NASA writes on their children’s site. “Still, like reading fantasy stories, many people enjoy reading their ‘astrological forecast’ or ‘horoscope’ in the newspaper every day.”

[William Cooper]: There is a possibility of England's betrayal and by forces within which meant America would be
compelled to stand alone. This possibility or probability was indicated in the poem ascribed to Merlin to King Arthur's court
of our constellation of thirteen stars. And we'll get into that right after this break, ladies and gentlemen. You see, this country
has been betrayed by the Tories, who never wanted to separate from England in the first place. The body of the Illuminati
around the world are working toward one-world government and if this Anglo-Saxon faction has its way, they will rule the
world through a council of elders. If the Vatican has its way, the Pope will sit on the throne of the world.
(break music: From a Distance, written by Julie Gold, performed by Nanci Griffith?)
368
Backing up one paragraph, I quote again:
"[There is a possibility of England's betrayal and by forces within, in which event America would be compelled to stand
alone. This is possibility (aye, probability) was clearly indicated in the poem ascribed to] Merlin of King Arthur's court [on
the] constellation of the thirteen stars..."
[William Cooper]: Here, they attribute truth to legend. Supposedly, Merlin said:
"When the cock (France) shall woo the Dove (America)
Mother and child shall cease to love (Rebellion of colonies)
When the cock (France) shall guard the eagle's nest (France's aid)
The stars (our constellation of 13) shall rise all in the west
Then seven and six shall make but one (E Pluribus Unum)
The Lion's might shall be undone."
[William Cooper]: Here they attribute to a mythical figure, Merlin, a prophecy which, they say, is being fulfilled in the
world. "When the cock [or France] shall woo the Dove [which they say is America]; Mother and child shall cease to love [in
other words, rebellion of her colonies against England]; When the cock shall guard [in other words, France's aid] to the eagle's
nest [which is the United States, or America]; The stars [which, they say, are our constellation of 13] shall rise all in the west;
Then seven and six shall make but one [E Pluribus Unum, as their interpretation]; [and] The Lion's might shall be undone."
[William Cooper]: This prophecy has been rapidly coming to pass since the Second World War, the English, the Anglo
Saxons, have permitted enemies within her borders, many of her own race, to gain control of her finances and institutions and
replace what might be correctly termed, "Druidic Christianity," and that's exactly what it is: it's a perversion of true
Christianity. In fact, when you hear what it really consists of, you will discover, ladies and gentlemen, it is not Christianity at
all, but the remnant of the old pagan, druidic and Germanic gall picked religion, mixed with a little mixture of Christianity.
Using this lie, this legend of Joseph, to [make?] them into a master race. These are the same people who, just prior to World
War II, attempted, attempted to turn England into an ally with Hitler. You see, druidic Christianity is a godless atheism really.
They say, unless the English wake up, the Lion's might will certainly be undone, and the old saying, "There always will be an
England," will be proven unfounded.
[continuing reading]:
"The stars upon our seal are set in the form of a six pointed star of [the] double triangle [symbolic of the perfectly
balanced man. After the downfall of Egypt, this was called] Solomon's Seal..."
[William Cooper]: And that is a lie. It was never called Solomon's Seal until it was adopted by the Jewish people as their
symbol sometime in the 16th century, ladies and gentlemen. They say [that?] the ages before that it had its place in the
temples of the greater Mysteries, and that is true. That's exactly where it comes from. Indicating that the physical man and the
spiritual man had attained equilibrium, and that the Son of Man had indeed become the Son of God. Now, bear in mind that
that is not a reference to Jesus Christ.
"At each point of the star was placed the symbol of an Order which [symbolized] Arcane wisdom [and because of the
presence of the altar within], no man might pass into the Holy of Holies [or innermost chamber]...with safety to himself [save
he who attained to philosophic initiation]."
[William Cooper]: And that is the true definition of Solomon's Temple within the Masonic lodges and the lodges of all of
these other liars and deceivers. For the Temple of Solomon that they discuss has nothing to do with the Christian religion or
the Jewish religion, but lies within each of them according to their own definitions. I continue:
"[The special or spiritual] symbol of America, aside from the pyramid or eagle, is the white rose, identical in [its] meaning
369
[to] the white stone [of legend and primitive Masonry, for the meaning and the history of the white rose." [sic]
[William Cooper]: Study the War of the Roses and you will find your eyes opened as to who is really behind this and what
it really means. I continue:
"The constellation of thirteen stars was in early drawings set in a wreath of white roses, showing that the early designers
knew [fully aware] the future of American individual spiritual development."
[William Cooper]: And that is a lie. Our forefathers were not a part of this. They are the ones who broke away from
England, ladies and gentlemen. This is a perversion of their beliefs. They certainly were members of the secret societies and
the Illuminati, and they were working toward the Great Work of one-world government. But not under Anglo-Aryan rule.
You see, our forefathers truly believed, in their day, of the Brotherhood of Man, meaning all man at some point in the future
standing upon an equal keel at birth, and making for themselves what they will through individual responsibility. They really
wanted this nation to succeed but they knew in their hearts, because they knew human nature very well, that we would
abdicate our responsibilities and our freedoms and would become slaves. And they would have to institute some kind of
government to control the mob. Their aim was to topple the churches and states that existed in their world and bring about a
true freedom of mankind, hoping that this would be it. Giving us all the tools to make the experiment succeed or fail, for man
should -- they believed, and I believe also -- get what he deserves.
"[The design] is now drawn set in white clouds [showing that the true nature of America is clouded, or under a cloud at
the moment. These clouds are shadows symbolizing the confusion of the present era, will gradually be replaced by bright
sunshine, symbol of light, enlightenment, sheer perception and understanding].
"Solomon's Temple was the [design] of [the] perfect man [perfection is the ultimate of every man, unless he chooses an
ignoble defeat]...the Bible [like the Arcane teachings of the greater Mysteries] tells us of [the] three cornered cope stone which
was [prepared to finish the pyramid of the Temple, but was] rejected, [and] later became the headstone of the
corner....Genesis [tells us] of [one] Joseph, the keeper of the 'stone of Israel'..."
[William Cooper]: And I might remind you, Isis was also called, 'the Stone.'
"It was because of the Magian or Holy Grail teachings that the Britons crossed Europe to Arsareth, Land of Betrothal..."
[William Cooper]: They quote Esdras 11-13. Folks, can you find the book of Esdras in the Bible? Of course not. They will
quote anything that furthers their perversion and their lie.
"[They say they] crossed Europe to Arsareth, Land of Betrothal...in search of a land where they might keep God's worship
pure and undefiled. Hence through Joseph, who was separated [cast out or sold by] his brethren, we inherit[ed] the white
stone of all Israel, [the] cope stone of the pyramid, and of Solomon's Temple, that rock upon which [the initiate Nazarene]
reminded Pater, he should build [God's] church..."
[William Cooper]: (laughs) Oh my, oh my.
"...the rock [or foundation] of spiritual unfoldment within each individual, [and against which, in the ultimate,] the gates
of hell...should not prevail. [What this true church really is is made plain in:] My little children of whom I travail in birth again
until Christ be formed in you."
[William Cooper]: Now they call Christ the Christos. "Be formed" means, "awakened," in their language and they
reference Galatians, chapter 4, verse 19. The one single word offers us the key to the entire mystery of the church and of man's
ultimate goal. To "travail" is to suffer in giving birth. This birth is in or within us. Is is the: "Unless ye are born of the spirit as
ye had been of your mother's womb," you shall in no wise be able to enter the kingdom of Heaven, a biblical and mystical lore.

"[This being the law which governs the universe as it governs the drama of heaven, which is the old cosmology worshiped
at places like Stonehenge,] it was in keeping that an Englishman, a Master of Heraldry, should give to the young republic
[during] its struggles to separate from the mother country [as does the child from its mortal mother], the design for [not only
the work of the true Christic, or Christos church -- I refer you to the Christic Institute, which just is another branch of these
perversions -- also] the design for the Great Seal, which would express the whole future of [the new country's] work as a
world teacher and exponent of the...teachings [of the new church and] of the Holy Grail.
"The All Seeing Eye, [looking] down upon the ancient pyramid...symbolizes America [the eaglet of 'Eagle Land'] and all
she must mean to the world. [If she does not permit herself to be betrayed by the degrading and destructive ideologies of
decadent European and Asiatic countries, an utterly selfish traitorous leadership in our own country.] This emblem, the eye is
as [ancient] as man's appearance upon [the] earth, being found upon [the Egyptian, Greek and Chaldean monuments]..."
[William Cooper]: And I'm sure, ladies and gentlemen, they knew that it meant America back in those days. (sarcasm):
Mm-hmm, yeah, you just keep thinking that, fools. This is beyond understanding how intelligent people can fall for these
scams and be so manipulated by someone who comes along, flashes some kind of certificate that we went to some kind of a
school that taught him how to understand the Bible, and he preaches this perversion, and people fall right into line and
believe it as fact, simply because this person told them to. If you follow them around long enough, you will follow them to the
doors of the lodge of one of these secret societies, I can assure you.
"This emblem, the eye is as [ancient] as man's appearance upon [the] earth, being found upon [the Egyptian, Greek and
Chaldean monuments], while the Arabians [looked] upon it and named the Highest and Holiest name of God [and] with
hushed voices...whispered, 'I am that I am.'"
[William Cooper]: And that is what Elizabeth Claire Prophet preaches in Montana.
"The triangle about the eye, stood from the most [ancient days] as the emblem of the Trinity..."
[William Cooper]: Now, get this, folks, because this is what their Trinity really refers to!
"The triangle about the eye, stood from the most [ancient days] as the emblem of the Trinity...Osiris, Isis and Horus
[progenitors of humanity], Father, [Mother - the Mother they call the] Holy Ghost and [the] Son...[it is the seal of the eternal
law of the] three of the universe and [the watchful guide to those who awaken and walk in the light. 'I will instruct thee and
teach thee in the way, which thou shall go.]. 'I will guide thee with mine eye.' -- Psalms 32:8.
"[The legend symbolized by the Pyramid] is esoteric, [given] in numbers, measures, and weights, and [these] may be read
the [history of] ages [already] completed, and the prophecy of those yet to come."
[William Cooper]: I refer you to Ice: The Ultimate Disaster, 5/5/2000; that's the name of the book: 5/5/2000 - Ice : The
Ultimate Disaster, by Richard Noone. I refer you in that book, specifically to the interview with Tom Valentine, where he
parrots this exactly same philosophy! I also refer you to his book about the pyramids, I forget the name of it, and his other
book, The Late, Great...I'm sorry, The Life and Death of Planet Earth. I was thinking of a book written by Hal Lindsey. But
Valentine's book is The Life and Death of Planet Earth. You'll find this same philosophy espoused throughout, and you find
him on Radio Freemasonry, running you around in circles chasing your tails, even now.
"[Throughout the past ages each with its leader runs the legend of] the 'Stone Kingdom cut out without hands'..."
[William Cooper]: Now, remember, throughout all past ages, this legend, this story, this perversion has been repeated
throughout the pagan religion and since the beginning of time when man first looked up and equated the sun with the power
of God. The inner kingdom of heaven, the last and greatest of all was the Master [Nazarene, had he not been betrayed by his
own people as in England, the land of Joseph, and the Grail being betrayed today. Notice, when it comes to the Nazarene who
was of Israel being betrayed, all of a sudden he's been betrayed by his own people, but his own people are no longer these
371
people, you see. That's blamed on the Jews, but yet they claim to be of the tribe of Israel. What hypocrites, what liars, what
deceivers, what perverters, what manipulators.
[William Cooper]: Unless Americans in rapidly increasing numbers become imbued with the spirit of America awaken to
the Christic church -- again, I refer you to the Christic Institute, run by another secret society, the Jesuits -- a similar fate may
also befall America. Ancient architecture, heraldry and the drama of heaven are all telling the people of America of their
possible destiny -- material and spiritual -- and no less responsibility [sic]. They're claiming that the Bible is recorded in the
constellations of the heavens. The opposite is true, folks. The cosmology of the heavens in the ancient pagan religions existed
long before the Bible was even written. The Bible is a conglomeration of all of the metaphors and myths and religions of
history, passed down by word of mouth and written -- particular, the ones adhered to -- by the Hebrew race.
"As the head, body and limbs of the great image, made of different metals represented each Messianic age, a new
[interpretation of] truth, and an empire directly relating to some manifestation of that truth, so must America represent the
white stone, [and be] a nation fashioning itself [according to the divine pattern] until it shall have obtained the Messiahship..."
[William Cooper]: In other words, they're saying America is the Messiah, spiritual leadership. According to them, Christ
is coming back to the earth, but not in a physical body, and he never was a divine human being, God incarnate, in the flesh on
this earth. Instead, it's an office that can be held by anyone, and in the new age, it shall be held by the new [root?] race.
"[In other words, they say that] America represents the white stone, [and it should be] a nation fashioning itself
[according to the divine pattern] until it shall obtained [to the] Messiahship [spiritual leadership] over all nations,
overshadowing all that has preceded it. This cannot be accomplished until each citizen shall throw aside the veil [of ignorance
and superstition and see] no longer [as through a] glass darkly, but face to face, when Judah shall no [more be permitted to]
vex Israel nor Israel envy Judah, but [labor in harmony that the Lord's law be fulfilled If this be not done, both may be
destroyed as have been many nations before them]."
[William Cooper]: Remember, the symbol of royalty in England and of England itself is the lion. It was also the symbol of
the tribe of Judah, and it was the symbol of ancient Babylon -- in particular, Nimrod the hunter. I continue:
"The time...spoken of by Isaiah, the prophet, [has come]...[it is a time] when...the learned [intellectual] cannot read the
book because it is sealed [as Greek to them], nor the unlearned because he is unlettered, yet shall the book be unsealed
[because] the ancient [arcane] wisdom applies to the individual [who is willing to work in obedience to the Christic law] in his
[personal] quest of the Holy Grail, in...drinking of the cup of unselfishness, [in] his love for his neighbor and the stranger
withing [its] gates [in his loyalty to his family and his country, and his stubborn and wholly insistence that destiny's prophecy
shall not be set aside]."
[William Cooper]: So, on the one hand they talked about the Brotherhood of Man, about equal rights for all, about love
for his neighbor, and the stranger within his gates. The loyalty to his family and his country, and the same time these lying,
deceiving manipulators are destroying the country. They're destroying the family. Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen, this comes
out of the Mysteries and nowhere else. And they believe that they are the master race, and will ultimately destroy all other
races and prevail as the rulers of the world. And yet they read this...they write this and see no contradictions, which makes
most of them fools in my estimation. In any case, they're liars, deceivers, manipulators -- the scum of the earth. They are the
destroyers.
"Each [and every one may be] fortunate heir of this glorious inheritance [but] must seek the white stone which crowns
the pyramid, within himself, [by the full development of his] body, mind[, spirit] and soul, the Holy Trinity of each Son of
[Man, who has become the Son of God]."
[William Cooper]: And there is the clue to what they intend: man will become God. Man, himself, will become
"Christed," and that is what they mean by the return of Christ to this earth. Not a physical man of divine origin, God
incarnate, in the flesh coming on the clouds as the Bible describes, but man himself will become "Christed." And as
372
humankind becomes Christed, and the chaff is weeded out from the wheat, which is them, and destroyed from the earth, all
other races, they will prevail and Christ will be upon the earth within them.
"[It is in this manner that] America will realize her destiny as [the] city set upon a hill, a star that shall never [set, but
become the light that shall light the world because the true church of the eternal Christos, the Christ within man, for whom
there is travail in birth until Christ be formed in you, man shall have become established and be the sanctuary for all her
people...]"
[William Cooper]: This is what the Mormon Church teaches. It is just another branch of Mystery Babylon,
perverted...perverted by this hidden agenda of the master race, the Anglo-Aryan master race, incarnate in British Israelism,
world Zionism, and if you're Jewish, you had better reject it. It's not about saving or preserving the state of Israel, it's about
creating a one-world government, and orthodox Jews along with fundamentalist Christians, or any Christian for that matter,
who will not renounce Christ as divine, incarnate of God, in flesh upon this earth. Any follower for the prophet Mohamed,
anyone who will not bow down to this new religion will be destroyed…will be destroyed.
[William Cooper]: [quoting?] The state is the edifice, the church be the spirit. This is the old Nazism coming back to us.
This is National Socialism on a world scale, with the state as the edifice, the church must be the spirit. The rise and fall of
nations and people has been an exact ratio to their acceptance of the laws as interpreted by their great spiritual leaders, or
their efforts to think, desire and act in attempted defiance of them. This is the combination of British Israelism, it is what
brought Hitler to power. It is the same occult philosophy that Hitler worshiped the master Aryan race. We used the word
"attempted" for a reason. That though uncountable millions made every effort to live outside of the law, none thus far have
succeeded, and all have passed into the limbo of things forgotten. This illustrates the trite known old saying, "The mills of the
gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine." Nearly two thousand years ago the world as a whole has come to a sorry
pass. Selfishness was rampant, God was all but forgotten, men lived by greed and at the expense of one another. The few were
the masters, spiritual and material of the many. Only a few were able to recognize the light of God. It was a time, very much
like our own today when selfishness and desire for conquest were the ruling passions. Some of you old enough may recognize
the ravings of father Kauflin. Then as always happens, an exemplification of the eternal order came to one who was to walk
upon the shores of Galilee; a just and honorable man, for they attribute no divinity to Christ. One without selfish motive, one
who did not seek to establish an earthly kingdom, but in stood a heavenly kingdom in which all who so desired were willing to
make the effort and enjoy the good things of earth.
[William Cooper]: Do you hear that? He talked of God as none other had before him. He proclaimed God to be the father
of all creation, the supreme being of the universe, the maker of heaven and earth, of man in his own image. This young man,
this native of Galilee, the Nazarene, preaching the fatherhood of God and the possibility -- not the certainty -- of the
brotherhood of man and the immortalization of the soul of man. This master teacher manifested greater love, more wisdom
and courage than had ever before been found embodied in the body of any man. He possessed the desire to serve mankind as
had none other before him. He taught the simplest, grandest and most sublime doctrine, or concept of life, that ever fell from
human lips. Yet despite the services, he was ready and willing to render to his fellow man, and his soul-inspiring doctrine he
taught, the people to this day, except for a very few, misconstrued his teachings, ridiculed his concepts and finally crucified
him. The great Galilean was wise. His wisdom and understanding was beyond the comprehension of men of his day because,
then as now, simplicity had no power to excite or incite all the complex hole men enthralled, for seeing the things that were to
come he prepared the way so that, should his ministry and teachings be rejected, it would be preserved and passed on to an
exceeding age. The age is now upon us -- the new age, when man shall become the Son of God.
Good night, and God bless you all, and may God have mercy upon your soul.

Arminius (/ɑːrˈmɪniəs/; 18/17 BC–AD 21; Hermann in German) was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe who is best known for commanding an alliance of Germanic tribes at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, in which three Roman legions under the command of general and governor Publius Quinctilius Varus were destroyed. His victory at Teutoburg Forest precipitated the Roman Empire's permanent strategic withdrawal and the deprovincialization of Germania Magna,[2] and modern historians regard it as one of Imperial Rome's greatest defeats.[3] As it prevented the Romanization of Germanic peoples east of the Rhine, it has also been considered one of the most decisive battles in history[4][5][6][7] and a turning point in human history.[8]

JACOBUS Arminius (/ɑːrˈmɪniəs/; Dutch: Jakob Hermanszoon[a]; 10 October 1560 – 19 October 1609) was a Dutch Reformed minister and theologian during the Protestant Reformation period whose views became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement.

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution (French: Société des amis de la Constitution), renamed the Society of the Jacobins, Friends of Freedom and Equality (Société des Jacobins, amis de la liberté et de l'égalité) after 1792 and commonly known as the Jacobin Club (Club des Jacobins) or simply the Jacobins (/ˈdʒækəbɪn/; French: [ʒakɔbɛ̃]), was the most influential political club during the French Revolution of 1789. The period of its political ascendancy includes the Reign of Terror, during which well over 10,000 people were put on trial and executed in France, many for political crimes.

AI Overview
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) historically used real human skeletons in their initiation rituals, acting as a memento mori (reminder of mortality) and a symbol of brotherhood. These skeletons, often sourced from medical supply companies, were frequently hidden within lodge walls or floorboards, intended to scare new members into valuing their lives.
YouTube
Symbolism: Similar to Freemasons, the Odd Fellows, a separate organization, used skulls and bones not out of dark morbidity, but as a reminder to focus on charity, friendship, and morality.

The next Pope to be elected after Pope Leo XIV is going to be Cardinal Louis Sako brought out of retirement and will choose his Papal name to be Pope Paul VII
The May 1605 conclave held from 8 to 16 May 1605; Cardinal Camillo Borghese was elected to succeed Leo XI as pope. Borghese took the name Paul V. This was the second conclave of 1605, with the one that had elected Leo XI having concluded just 37 days earlier. It had the only recorded case of an injury at a conclave, which was the result of a physical fight amongst the cardinals over who should be elected pope.

Paul the Apostle was a 1st-century Jewish Pharisee and Roman citizen who transformed from a persecutor of Christians into the early church's most influential missionary. After encountering the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus, he conducted extensive missionary journeys and authored 13 books in the New Testament, playing a key role in spreading Christianity to Gentiles.
Conversion (Acts 9): Originally named Saul, he zealously persecuted early Christians. On the road to Damascus to arrest believers, he was blinded by a light and encountered Jesus, leading to his dramatic conversion.

AI Overview
The term macron (the diacritic mark "¯") originates from the Greek word makrón, meaning "long" or "large". Introduced to indicate a long, heavy vowel sound, it stems from the Proto-Indo-European root *māk-, referring to something "long, thin". It differs from the surname Macron, which has French roots, or the sportswear brand of the same name.

Early life and career
Gualtieri was born in Rome in 1966. In 1992 he graduated in Literature and Philology at Sapienza University of Rome.[3] In 1997, he obtained a Ph.D. in history at the Scuola Superiore di Studi Storici di San Marino.[4] Gualtieri later became associate professor of Contemporary history at Sapienza University of Rome, where he had authored several books and articles on twentieth century Italian history and on the history of European integration.[5]
Political career
Since 2001, Gualtieri has been deputy director of the Gramsci Institute Foundation.[6] In the same year, he became a member of Democrats of the Left (DS), the main social-democratic political party in Italy, direct heir of the Italian Communist Party.
In 2006, Gualtieri was among the founders of the Democratic Party (Congress of Orvieto, October 2006) and he was among the "wise men" who wrote its Manifesto.[7] In 2007 he was elected to the National Assembly of the party and since 2008 he has been a member of its National board, where he was confirmed in 2014.[8] Gualtieri voted against party leader Matteo Renzi in favour of post-communists both in 2013 and 2014 (the year Renzi won the leadership ballot).[9]
From 2008 to 2011, Gualtieri served as director (with José Luis Rhi-Sausi) of the "Annual Report on European Integration" (published by Il Mulino).[10] Since 2009, he is a member of the editorial committee of the Foundation "Italianieuropei" .

Shortly after, Gualtieri was elected vice-chair of the S&D Group, under the leadership of chairwoman Iratxe García.[23]
Minister of Economy and Finance
Gualtieri with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin
In August 2019 tensions grew within the populist government, leading to the issuing of a motion of no-confidence on Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte by the League.[24] After Conte's resignation, the national board of the PD officially opened to the possibility of forming a new cabinet in a coalition with the M5S,[25] based on pro-Europeanism, green economy, sustainable development, fight against economic inequality and a new immigration policy.[26] The party also accepted that Conte may continue at the head of a new government,[27] and on 29 August President Sergio Mattarella formally invested Conte to do so.[28] On 5 September 2019 Gualtieri was appointed Minister of Economy and Finance.[29]
On 26 January 2020, Gualtieri was picked by the centre-left coalition as its candidate at the incoming by-election in the constituency of Rome Quartiere Trionfale for the Chamber of Deputies. The by-election follows the resignation of Paolo Gentiloni from his seat in the Chamber after his appointment as European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs in the von der Leyen Commission.[30]
In July 2020, Gualtieri, along with Prime Minister Conte and Minister Vincenzo Amendola, played a key role in one of the longest European Councils in history. After days of harsh confrontations,[31] the European leaders agreed on a new proposal by the President of the Council, Charles Michel, which provided a budget of €750 billion for the so-called Recovery Fund, composed of €390 billion in grants and €360 billion in loans.[32] Italy would benefit from nearly €82 billion in grants and €127 billion in loans.[33][34]
In January 2021, the centrist party Italia Viva withdrew its support for Conte's government.[35] Although Conte was able to win confidence votes in the Parliament in the subsequent days, he chose to resign after failing to reach an absolute majority in the Senate.[36] When negotiations to form Conte's third cabinet failed, the former President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, formed a national unity government, in which Gualtieri was not confirmed as minister.[37]
Mayor of Rome
On 9 May 2021, Gualtieri officially announced his candidacy as Mayor of Rome in the upcoming election.[38] On 18 October, he defeated the centre-right candidate, Enrico Michetti, with 60.2% of votes.[39] He took office on 21 October 2021.[40]

Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri is a fictional character portrayed by Tony Sirico on the HBO series The Sopranos, one of the chief henchmen of series protagonist Tony Soprano. Sirico auditioned for the role of Uncle Junior with Frank Vincent, but Dominic Chianese landed the role. David Chase instead offered him the role of Paulie Gualtieri and Sirico agreed under the condition that his character would not "become a rat".[3][4] Paulie begins the series as a soldier, later becoming a captain in the DiMeo crime family.[5] He is violent, impulsive, quick-witted, sarcastic and paranoid. Paulie is jovial and quick with a joke but is one of the most ruthless members of the family. Billy Magnussen portrays a young Paulie Gualtieri in the 2021 prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark. Paulie Walnuts is one of the most prominent characters in The Sopranos, and one of the viewers' favorites.[6] Sirico's performance has received acclaim from critics and audiences.[7]

Revelation 17:8
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]The beast that thou hast seen, [b]was and is not, and [c]shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth, shall wonder (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) [d]when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Footnotes
Revelation 17:8 The story of the beast hath a triple description of him. The first is a distinction of this beast from all that ever hath been at any time: which distinction is contained in this verse: The second is a delineation or painting out of the beast by things present, by which he might even at that time be known of the godly, and this delineation is according to his heads, verses 2, 10, 11. The third is an historical foretelling of things to come, and to be done by him: and these are ascribed unto his horns, verses 12, 13, 14. This beast is that Empire of Rome, of which I spake, chap. 13:11, according to the mutations and changes whereof which then had already happened, the holy Ghost hath distinguished and set out the same. The Apostle distinguisheth this beast from all others in these words. The beast which thou sawest, was and is not. For so I expound the words of the Apostle for evidence’s sake as I will further declare in the notes following.
Revelation 17:8 The meaning is, that beast which thou sawest before (Rev. 13:1) and which yet thou hast now seen, was, (I say was) even from Julius Caesar in respect of beginning, rising up, station, glory, dominion, manner and stock, from the house of Julius: and yet is not now the same, if thou look unto the house and stock for the dominion of this family was translated unto another, after the death of Nero from the other unto a third, from a third unto a fourth, and so forth was varied and altered by innumerable changes. Finally, the Empire is one, as it were one beast: but exceedingly varied by kindreds, families, and persons. It was therefore (saith S. John) in the kindred or house of Julius: and now it is not in that kindred, but translated unto another.
Revelation 17:8 As if he should say, Also the same that is, shall shortly not be: but shall ascend out of the depth, or out of the sea (as was said, Rev. 13:1) that is, shall be a new stock from amongst the nations without difference, and shall in the same state go unto destruction or ruin, and perish: and so shall successively new Princes or Emperors come and go, arise and fall, the body of the beast remaining still, but tossed with so many and often alterations, as no man can but marvel that this beast was able to stand and hold out, in so many mutations. Verily no Empire that ever was tossed with so many changes, and as it were with so many tempests of the sea, ever continued so long.
Revelation 17:8 That is as many as have not learned the providence of God, according to the faith of the Saints, shall marvel at these grievous and often changes when they shall consider, the selfsame beast, which is the Roman Empire, to have been, not to be, and to be and still molested with perpetual mutation, and yet in the same to stand and continue. This in mine opinion is the most simple exposition of this place, and confirmed by the event of the things themselves. Although by the last change also, by which the Empire, that before was civil became Ecclesiastical, is not obscurely signified by these words: of which two, the first exercised cruelty upon the bodies of the saints: the other also upon their souls: the first by human order and policy, the other under the color of the law of God, and of Religion, raged and imbrued itself with the blood of the godly.

In the Apostolic See

authorization had been granted to enact Constitutions on the understand
ing that once enacted and approved by the Society they would automati
cally be considered as approved and confirmed by the authority of the
Apostolic See.[2] The Society was at that time scattered over the world and
occupied with activities of great importance for faith and religion. Hence,
it quite rightly entrusted its originator and founder, our Father Ignatius
of holy memory, residing in Rome, with the task of writing and enacting
the Constitutions.
Carefully, wisely, and religiously did he UNDERTAKE and carry out this
task that had been laid upon him, to the extent that he made it his chief
concern for a number of years. With many tears, ardent prayers, and
repeated Sacrifices of the Mass, he implored from the Lord the anoint
ing of the Holy Spirit, so that by the latter
s inspiration and guidance he
might accomplish through divine assistance what was impossible
through human prudence. In this way, with immense toil he drew up
the Constitutions with all their parts and brought them to completion.

One of the most damaging episodes described by Knight was that of a KGB agent turning master spies Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, and Guy Burgess into double agents for Russia. Knight suggests this transformation was accomplished through Freemasonry. The intelligence world was shocked when these three men defected to Russia in 1952 and 1962. It was discovered 30 years too late that Philby, while head of a division in MIS (initials for Mission Impossible, division No. 5), was also a high-ranking KGB agent. The irony in this story is that Philby remained on the British intelligence payroll after defection.41 He died in Moscow, November 5, 1988- taking to the grave his reason for defecting.42

In 1775 the Swiss lodges transferred their allegiance from English Masonry to the German Strict Observance. Under Napoleon the French Grand Orient invaded Switzerland, and a certain number of existing lodges came under its obedience. Geneva was ceded to France during the wars of Napoleon, and Swiss Masonry then became an appendage of the French Grand Orient. In 1818, as demanded by London, English Masonic obedience began to replace the Grand Orients, except in Geneva where the aristocracy permitted one Grand Orient Lodge to function.69

From the founding of the US to the Boer wars in South Africa and from the 20th Century’s two world wars to the Swiss Guard that protects the Pope, the Swiss Octagon Templars have capitalised on the guise of neutrality to set the stage for a New World Order takeover in which we are all sacrificial pawns in their pursuit of absolute power.
Neutral? Don’t you believe it, their militia system is formidable but the state cannot be seen to get involved in external conflict. However, as well-trained fighters, there is still a place for Swiss mercenaries in the world of private security and as agents of the Federal Intelligence Service and Military Intelligence Service of the Swiss Octagon Templars!

Pope Leo meets Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally, pledging to keep working past differences
Published Monday, April 27, 2026 | 1:27 a.m.
Updated Monday, April 27, 2026 | 3:42 a.m.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV prayed Monday in the Vatican with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, and vowed to keep working to overcome differences in a historic meeting with the first female leader of the Church of England and the spiritual leader of the global Anglican Communion.
The encounter between Christianity’s two most famous religious figures would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, given the divisions between their two churches over women’s ordination and Mullally's appointment.
Leo acknowledged that “new problems” in their relationship had been added onto “historically divisive issues.” But he nevertheless vowed to continue the tradition of past popes to continue to try to reunite the churches.
Anglicans split from Rome in 1534, when English King Henry VIII was refused a marriage annulment. Despite a formal theological dialogue that began in the 1960s, big differences remain, especially over the Church of England’s decision to ordain women. The Roman Catholic Church reserves the priesthood for men.
Leo quoted Pope Francis as telling Anglican primates that “it would be a scandal if, due to our divisions, we did not fulfil our common vocation to make Christ known.”
“For my part, I add that it would also be a scandal if we did not continue to work towards overcoming our differences, no matter how intractable they may appear,” Leo said.
Mullally thanked Leo for welcoming her on her first foreign visit since she was installed last month.
Mullally, whose appointment has split the already divided Anglican Communion, arrived early to meet with Leo in his library. The two then prayed together in the Urban VIII Chapel inside the Apostolic palace for what the Vatican said was a “moment of prayer.” Mullally’s office said Leo presided but that they both “said the grace together.”
In her remarks to Leo, Mullally said both of them were called to preach the Gospel with “renewed clarity.”
“In the face of inhuman violence, deep division, and rapid societal change, we must keep telling a more hopeful story: that every human life has infinite value because we are precious children of God; that the human family is called to live as sisters and brothers,” she said. “We must therefore work together for the common good — always building bridges, never walls; that the poorest among us are closest to the heart of God.”
A pilgrimage to Rome amid challenges
Mullally is on what she has called a four-day pilgrimage to Rome that has included visits to the main pontifical basilicas, where she has prayed at the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul and met with top Vatican officials.
Lambeth Palace says her visit is designed “to strengthen Anglican–Roman Catholic relations through prayer, personal encounter, and formal theological dialogue. It aims to deepen bonds of communion, affirm a shared witness, and encourage ongoing collaboration at both global and local levels.”
The first female Anglican priests were ordained in 1994, its first female bishop in 2015, and now Mullally as the first archbishop of Canterbury.
Leo and Mullally have already exchanged greetings, with Leo congratulating her on her installation last month but acknowledging she was taking over at a “challenging” time and that differences still divide the Anglican and Catholic churches.
“We also know that the ecumenical journey has not always been smooth,” Leo wrote. “Despite much progress, our immediate predecessors, Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby, acknowledged frankly that new circumstances have presented new disagreements among us,” Leo wrote.
He nevertheless vowed to continue dialogue, and in October Leo welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the Vatican, where they prayed in the Sistine Chapel. Charles is the titular head of the Church of England.
That event, Oct. 25, marked the first time since the Reformation that the heads of the two Christian churches had prayed together.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first formal ecumenical statement between the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, signed in 1966 at St. Paul’s Outside the Walls basilica by Archbishop Michael Ramsey and Pope Paul VI.
Mullally for her part has expressed solidarity with Leo’s peace message, after the American-born pope was harshly criticized by President Donald Trump for his calls for peace in Iran.
Popes past have met with female Christian bishops and archbishops: Francis met in 2015 with Archbishop Antje Jackelén, the first woman to lead the Lutheran Church of Sweden. Francis also invited the female Anglican bishop, Jo Bailey Wells, into a private meeting of his cardinal advisers in 2024 to discuss the role of women in the Catholic Church.
An historic meeting that follows the king's visit
George Gross, an expert on theology and the monarchy at King’s College London, said the meeting was historic, particularly given the Vatican doesn't recognize the female priesthood.
“If we were to go back several hundred years, it’s unthinkable,” he said. “It’s the fact that the pope is willing to meet, but in itself it also shows the difference, the gap.”
Gross said the prayer was clearly an attempt to show the two churches united, especially in confronting the global conflicts and projecting a message of unity. Such optics, he said, were in continuity with the visit to the Vatican in October by the king.
“It’s a doubling down of togetherness,” he said.
An appointment that divides the Anglican communion
Her appointment though has split the Anglican Communion, whose 100 million members in 165 countries are deeply divided over issues such as the role of women and the treatment of LGBTQ+ people. Many in England and other Western countries hailed her appointment as a historic breaking of a stained-glass ceiling.
But the communion’s largest and fastest-growing churches in Africa belong to a conservative group called the Global Anglican Future Conference, or Gafcon, which has sharply criticized her appointment and threatened a final break. In the U.S., the conservative Anglican Church in North America formed in a break from the more liberal U.S. and Canadian Episcopal churches and has signed onto the Gafcon statement opposing Mullally’s appointment.

The Story of the Yekkes – Jewish Germans in the Land of Israel
ushi
April 30, 2018
Share
After the Nazis came to power in Germany 1933, some half a million German Jews were gradually leaving Germany. The vast majority of those descendants of Ashkenazi communities, who lived along the Rhine since the ninth century fled to America and Great Britain, while a small 10% chose to immigrate eastwards to the Land of Israel. They were welcomed not only by mosquitoes and swamps, but also with humiliating and condescending attitude from the veteran Israelis. Much like Jews from Arab lands, who were given offensive nicknames, German immigrants too suffered mocking insults. They were called “The Yekkes”, one interpretations of which being a Hebrew acronym for “fails to understand”, or simply – stupid. A bit strange, given that during the 1930’s, seven Nobel Prize laureates were German Jews.
Cultural and mental barriers were soon set up between the German immigrants and the Yishuv in Israel. The “Yekkes” were well educated, highly professional, and had high standards of precision and perfection, inherent awareness to aesthetics, and a tendency to choose liberal professions – all of which was despised by the socialists land workers who formed the ideal prototype of the Zionist movement.
Coming from the cradle of Western culture, from the home Goethe and Schiller, Marx and Nietzsche, into a desolate, undeveloped Levantine place, was for many of the “Yekkes” a great fall. They would not fit in, and were the ultimate outsiders in the chaotic and careless Zionist culture. And the worst, unforgivable thing – they spoke German, the language of Hitler! The new comers, who wished to preserve their language – in which great works such as Faust, Graetz’s The History of the Jews, and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity were written – were required to eliminate all track of German and German accent from their speech. German-language newspapers were closed, shop windows with signs in German were smashed, and Moshavim of German immigrants were frequently visited by the hooligans of the “Central Council for the Preservation of the Hebrew Language”, an official organization headed by Menachem Ussishkin, who terrorized anyone who would not use any other language but Hebrew.
In his book “The Seventh Million”, historian Tom Segev describes the sad, tragic story of the German Jews in Israel, or “the immigrants”, as the admired leader Ben-Gurion called them in disrespect. While the second and third Aliyot were considered ideological “pioneers”, the Germans were looked upon as refugees. Ben-Gurion demanded that they go through a “mental revolution”; Berl Katznelson, the spiritual labor leader, claimed that the Jews of Germany were “not real Jews”; author Moshe Ya’akov Ben Gavriel advised them to “assimilate humbly”; and in the newspapers of the Yishuv their strict, square characteristics were ridiculed time after time. One word-to-mouth story told of a German Jew who traveled by train to Nahariya, and sat backwards the whole way, which caused him vertigo and headaches. When asked why he didn’t ask the person across from him to switch places, he said: “that’s was the problem. I couldn’t ask, because no one was sitting there.”
The irony in this sociological role reversal is fascinating. Whereas in their homeland, Germany, the Jews looked down on the masses of “Ostjuden” who filled the country during the 1920’s – in the Land of Israel the latter looked down on them. This hierarchy reversal resulted in great frustration. Ben-Gurion analyzed the inner world of the German Jews, and explained: “they have both a superiority and inferiority complex. On the one hand they say, we are disciples of the German culture, we had Kant and Beethoven, we read the best literature and studied the German philosophers – and here – well, this is merely Eastern Europe. On the other hand, these “Ostjuden” came here first and managed to do a great deed here. They came early and took over everything.”
The alienation and disrespect towards the Germans were greatly unjust, as there are so many evidences of their enormous contribution to the development of the state, especially in cities like Haifa and Tel Aviv. Tom Segev wrote: The Olim from Germany, together with others, changed the profile of the cities by planning new houses in a practical Bauhaus style, which was the cutting edge in architecture; they opened shops and modern department stores that were not seen until then, some had two large showcases on each side; they introduced a whole new variety of products, such as office supplies, housewares, leather products, cosmetics, children shoes, candies, tobacco. Tel Aviv, until then a small provincial town, was becoming a city of the world, and all of a sudden you could see European Cafés everywhere.” One of the first Cafés were Rivoli Café, where a few excited gymnasia students shattered the windows because they heard the owner speak to his clients in German.
Over time, German immigrants learned to walk proudly upright, and the Yishuv on the other hand learned to appreciate their achievements. New waves of mass immigration flooded the new country, and the Israeli melting pot would not rest.
Many years later, in 1979, a German-born Israeli appealed to the supreme court against the screening of a documentary film called “Yekkes”, claiming that the word “Yekkes” was a a derogatory name. One of the three supreme court judges was the late Haim Cohen – a proud Yekke himself. By that time, the immigrants from Germany and their descendants had already settled in the top of Israeli society, and the word “Yekkes” ceased to be a curse, and filled Cohen with nostalgic sentiments. He simply did not agree the Yekkes had anything to complain about, so he rejected the appeal.

AI Overview
"Ros" as a term for red, reddish-brown, or ruddy (often hair or complexion) descends from the Latin russus ("red"). It is related to the PIE (Proto-Indo-European) root reudh-, which is the basis for many "red" words, including ruber (Latin), ruddy, and rust. This root is distinct from rose (the flower), which comes from Latin rosa.
Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Key Aspects of "Ros" (Red) Etymology:
Latin Root: Russus means red, reddish-brown, or chestnut.
Romance Language Evolution: This Latin term developed into Old Catalan ros, Occitan ros, and French roux (red-haired).
Germanic/Scottish Connection: While sometimes confused with the Gaelic ros (promontory/headland), the color association for Ross is linked to Old Norse roðr ("red").
Russet Connection: Russet (a reddish-brown color or coarse cloth) comes from Old French rousset (reddish), a diminutive of ros/rous.
Related Red Terms: The PIE root reudh- evolved into Proto-Germanic rauthan (red), leading to modern English red.
Online Etymology Dictionary
"Ros" in Tolkien's Languages (Contextual Note):
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Elvish (Sindarin), ros can mean "red/red-haired" (as in Maedhros) but can also mean "spray" or "spindrift" (as in Elros), a coincidental homophone that Tolkien famously struggled to harmonize.

1 Corinthians 15
1599 Geneva Bible
15 1 The Gospel that Paul preached. 3 The death and resurrection of Christ. 8 Paul saw Christ. 9 He had persecuted that Church, whereof afterward he was made a minister. 12 Christ first rose again, and we all shall rise by him. 26 The last enemy, death. 29 To be baptized for dead. 32 At Ephesus Paul fought with beasts. 35 How the dead are raised. 45 The first Adam. The last Adam, 47 The first and second man. 51 We shall all be changed, we shall not all sleep. 55 Death’s sting. 57 Victory. 58 Constancy and steadfastness.
1 Moreover [a]brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which ye have also received, and wherein ye [b]continue,
2 And whereby ye are saved, if ye keep in memory, after what manner I preached it unto you, [c]except ye have believed in vain.
3 For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,
4 And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures,
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the [d]twelve.
6 After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at [e]once: whereof many remain unto this present, and some also are asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James: then of all the Apostles.
8 [f]And last of all he was seen also of me, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meet to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vain: but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
11 Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so have ye believed.
12 ¶ [g]Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 [h]For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 [i]And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we have testified of God, that he hath raised up Christ: whom he hath not raised up, if so be the dead be not raised.
16 [j]For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised.
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain: [k]ye are [l]yet in your sins.
18 [m]And so they which are asleep in Christ, are perished.
19 [n]If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.
20 [o]But now is Christ risen from the dead, [p]and was made the [q]firstfruits of them that slept.
21 [r]For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be [s]made alive.
23 [t]But every man in his own order: the firstfruits is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his coming shall rise again.
24 [u]Then shall be the [v]end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he hath put down [w]all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign till he hath put all his enemies [x]under his feet.
26 The [y]last enemy that shall be destroyed, is death.
27 For he hath put down all things under his feet. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put down all things under him.)
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, [z]then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him, that did subdue all things under him, that [aa]God may be all in all.
29 [ab]Else what shall they do which are baptized [ac]for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?
30 [ad]Why are we also in jeopardy every hour?
31 By your [ae]rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 [af]If I have fought with beasts at Ephesus [ag]after the manner of men, what advantageth it me, if the dead be not raised up? [ah]let us [ai]eat and drink: for tomorrow we shall die.
33 [aj]Be not deceived: evil speakings corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to live righteously, and sin not: for some have not the knowledge of God, I speak this to your shame.
35 [ak]But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body come they forth?
36 [al]O fool, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die.
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare corn as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other.
38 [am]But God giveth it a body at his pleasure, even to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds:
40 There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
41 There is another glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 [an]So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is [ao]sown in corruption, and is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in [ap]dishonor, and is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, and is raised in [aq]power.
44 [ar]It is sown a natural body, and is raised a spiritual body: there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 [as]As it is also written, The [at]first man Adam was made a living soul: and the last Adam was made a [au]quickening spirit.
46 [av]Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual: but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, [aw]earthly: the second man is the Lord from [ax]heaven.
48 [ay]As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have born the [az]image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.
50 [ba]This say I, brethren, that [bb]flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 [bc]Behold, I show you a [bd]secret thing, We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In [be]a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall be raised up incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying, that is written, Death is swallowed up into victory.
55 O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the Law.
57 But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 [bf]Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, abundant always in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the [bg]Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:1 The sixth treatise of this Epistle, concerning the resurrection: and he useth a transition, or passing over from one matter to another, showing first that he bringeth no new thing, to the end that the Corinthians might understand that they had begun to swerve from the right course: and next that he goeth not about to entreat of a trifling matter, but of another chief point of the Gospel, which if it be taken away, their faith must needs come to nought. And so at the length he beginneth this treatise at Christ’s resurrection, which is the ground and foundation of ours, and confirmeth it first by the testimony of the Scriptures, and by the witness of the Apostles, and of more than five hundred brethren, and last of all his own.
1 Corinthians 15:1 In the profession whereof you continue yet.
1 Corinthians 15:2 Which is very absurd, and cannot be, but that they believe, must reap the fruit of faith.
1 Corinthians 15:5 Of those twelve picked and chosen Apostles, which were commonly called twelve, though Judas was put out of the number.
1 Corinthians 15:6 Not fewer all times, but together and at one instant.
1 Corinthians 15:8 He maintaineth by the way, the authority of his Apostleship, which was requisite to be in good credit among the Corinthians, that this Epistle might be of force and weight amongst them. In the mean season he compareth himself to such sort after a certain divine art with certain others, that he maketh himself inferior to them all.
1 Corinthians 15:12 The first argument to prove that there is a resurrection from the dead: Christ is risen again, therefore the dead shall rise again.
1 Corinthians 15:13 The second by an absurdity, If there is no resurrection of the dead, then is not Christ risen again.
1 Corinthians 15:14 The proof of that absurdity by other absurdities: If Christ be not risen again, the preaching of the Gospel is in vain, and the credit that you gave unto it is vain, and we are liars.
1 Corinthians 15:16 He repeateth the same argument taken of an absurdity, purposing to show how faith is in vain if the resurrection of Christ be taken away.
1 Corinthians 15:17 First, seeing death is the punishment of sin, in vain should we believe that our sins were forgiven us, if they remain: but they do remain, if Christ rose not from death.
1 Corinthians 15:17 They are yet in their sins, which are not sanctified, nor have obtained remission of their sins.
1 Corinthians 15:18 Secondly, unless that this be certain that Christ rose again, all they which died in Christ, are perished. So then what profit cometh of faith?
1 Corinthians 15:19 The third argument, which is also taken from an absurdity: for unless there be another life, wherein such as trust and believe in Christ shall be blessed, they were the most miserable of all creatures, because in this life they are the most miserable.
1 Corinthians 15:20 A conclusion of the former argument: Therefore Christ is risen again.
1 Corinthians 15:20 He putteth the last conclusion for the first proposition of the argument that followeth. Christ is risen again, Therefore shall we the faithful (for of them he speaketh) rise again: Then followeth the first reason of this consequent: for Christ is set forth unto us, to be considered of, not as a private man apart and by himself, but as the firstfruits: And he taketh that which was known, to all men, to wit, that the whole heap is sanctified in the firstfruits.
1 Corinthians 15:20 He alludeth to the firstfruits of corn, the offering whereof sanctified the rest of the fruits.
1 Corinthians 15:21 Another confirmation of the same consequent: for Christ is to be considered as opposite to Adam, that as from one man Adam, sin came over all, so from one man Christ, life cometh unto all: that is to say, that all the faithful, as they die, because by nature they were born of Adam, so because in Christ they are made the children of God by grace, they are quickened and restored to life by him.
1 Corinthians 15:22 Shall rise by the virtue of Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:23 He doeth two things together: for he showeth that the resurrection is in such sort common to Christ with all his members, that notwithstanding he far passeth them, both in time (for he was the first that rose again from the dead) and also in honor, because that from him and in him is all our life and glory. Then by this occasion he passeth in the next argument.
1 Corinthians 15:24 The fourth argument, wherewith also he confirmeth the others, hath a most sure ground, to wit, because that God must reign. And this is the manner of his reign, that the Father will be showed to be King in his Son who was made man, to whom all things are made subject (the promiser only except) to the end that the Father may afterward triumph in his Son the conqueror. And he maketh two parts of this reign and dominion of the Son, wherein the Father’s glory consisteth: to wit, the overcoming of his enemies (whereof some must be deprived of all power, as Satan and all the wicked, be they never so proud and mighty, and others must be utterly abolished as death) and a plain and full delivery of the godly from all enemies, that by this means God may fully set forth the body of the Church, cleaving fast to their head Christ, his kingdom and glory as a king in his subjects. Moreover he putteth the first degree of this kingdom in the resurrection of the Son, who is the head: and the perfection, in the full conjunction of the members with the head, which shall be in the latter day. Now all these tend to this purpose, to show that unless the dead do rise again, neither the Father can be King above all, neither Christ be Lord of all: for neither should the power of Satan and death be overcome, nor the glory of God be full in his Son, nor his Son in his members.
1 Corinthians 15:24 The shutting up and finishing of all things.
1 Corinthians 15:24 All his enemies which shall be spoiled of all the power they have.
1 Corinthians 15:25 Christ is considered here, as he appeared in the form of a servant, in which respect he ruleth the Church as head, and that because this power was given him of his Father.
1 Corinthians 15:26 The shutting up of the argument, which is taken from the whole to the part: for if all his enemies shall be put under his feet, then must it needs be that death also shall be subdued under him.
1 Corinthians 15:28 Not because the Son was not subject to his Father before, but because his body, that is to say, the Church which is here in distress, and not yet wholly partaker of his glory, is not yet fully perfect, and also because the bodies of the saints which be in the graves shall not be glorified until the resurrection: but Christ as he is God, hath us subject to him as his Father hath, but as he is Priest, he is subject to his father together with us. Augustine, book 1, chap. 8, of the Trinity.
1 Corinthians 15:28 By this high kind of speech, is set forth an incomprehensible glory which floweth from God, and shall fill all of us, as we are joined together with our head, but yet so, that our head shall always reserve his preeminence.
1 Corinthians 15:29 The fifth argument taken of the end of Baptism, to wit, because that they which are baptized, are baptized for dead, that is to say, that they may have a remedy against death because that Baptism is a token of regeneration.
1 Corinthians 15:29 They that are baptized, to this end and purpose, that death may be put out in them, or to rise again from the dead, whereof baptism is a seal.
1 Corinthians 15:30 The sixth argument: Unless there be a resurrection of the dead, why should the Apostles so daily cast themselves into danger of so many deaths?
1 Corinthians 15:31 As though he said, I die daily, as all the miseries I suffer can well witness, which I may truly boast of, that I have suffered amongst you.
1 Corinthians 15:32 The taking away of an objection: but thou Paul, didst ambitiously, as commonly men are wont to do, when thou didst fight with beasts at Ephesus: That is very like, saith Paul, for what could that advantage me, were it not for the glory of eternal life which I hope for?
1 Corinthians 15:32 Not upon any godly motion, nor casting mine eyes upon God, but carried away with vain glory, or a certain headiness.
1 Corinthians 15:32 The seventh argument which dependeth upon the last: if there be no resurrection of the dead, why do we give ourselves to anything else, save to eating and drinking?
1 Corinthians 15:32 These are speeches that Epicureans use.
1 Corinthians 15:33 The conclusion with a sharp exhortation, that they take heed of the naughty company of certain: from whence he showeth that this mischief sprang: warning them to be wise with sobriety unto righteousness.
1 Corinthians 15:35 Now that he hath proved the resurrection, he discovereth their doltishness, in that they scoffingly demanded, how it could be that the dead should rise again, and if they did rise again, they asked mockingly, what manner of bodies they should have. Therefore he sendeth these fellows which seemed to themselves to be marvelous wise and witty, to be instructed of poor rude husbandmen.
1 Corinthians 15:36 Thou mightest have learned either of these, saith Paul, by daily experience: for seeds are sown, and rot, and yet notwithstanding so far it is off, that they perish, that contrarywise they grow up far more beautiful: and whereas they are sown naked and dry, they spring up green from death by the virtue of God: and doth it seem incredible to thee that our bodies should rise from corruption, and that endued with a far more excellent quality?
1 Corinthians 15:38 We see a diversity both in one and the selfsame thing which hath now one form and then another, and yet keepeth its own kind, as it is evident in a grain which is sown bare, but springeth up far after another sort: and also in divers kinds of one selfsame sort, as amongst beasts: and also among things of divers sorts, as the heavenly bodies and the earthly bodies: which also differ very much one from another. Therefore there is no cause why we should reject either the resurrection of the bodies, or changing of them into a better state, as a thing impossible, or strange.
1 Corinthians 15:42 He maketh three manner of qualities of the bodies being raised: Incorruption, to wit, because they shall be sound, and altogether of a nature that cannot be corrupt: Glory, because they shall be adorned with beauty and honor: Power, because they shall continue everlasting without meat, drink, and all other helps, without which this frail life cannot keep itself from corruption.
1 Corinthians 15:42 Is buried, and man is hid as seed in the ground.
1 Corinthians 15:43 Void of honor, void of glory, and beauty.
1 Corinthians 15:43 Freed from the former weakness, whereas it is subject to such alteration and change, that it cannot maintain itself without meat and drink, and such otherlike helps.
1 Corinthians 15:44 He showeth perfectly in one word, this change of the quality of the body by the resurrection, when he saith, that of a natural body, it shall become a spiritual body, which two qualities being clean different, the one from the other, he straightway expoundeth and setteth forth diligently.
1 Corinthians 15:45 That is called a natural body, which is quickened and maintained by a living soul only, such as Adam was, of whom all we are born naturally: and that is said to be a spiritual, which together with the soul is quickened with a far more excellent virtue: to wit, with the Spirit of God, which descendeth from Christ the second Adam unto us.
1 Corinthians 15:45 Adam is called the first man, because he is the root as it were from which we spring: and Christ is the latter man: because he is the beginning of all them that are spiritual, and in him we are all comprehended.
1 Corinthians 15:45 Christ is called a Spirit, by reason of that most excellent nature, that is to say, God who dwelleth in him bodily, as Adam is called a living soul, by reason of the soul which is the best part in him.
1 Corinthians 15:46 Secondly he willeth the order of this double state or quality to be observed, that the natural was first, Adam being created of the clay of the earth: and the spiritual followed and came upon it, to wit, when the Lord being sent from heaven, endued our flesh which was prepared and made fit for him, with the fulness of the Godhead.
1 Corinthians 15:47 Wallowing in dirt, and wholly given to an earthly nature.
1 Corinthians 15:47 The Lord is said to come down from heaven by that kind of speech, whereby that which is proper to one is touched of another.
1 Corinthians 15:48 He applieth both the earthly naturalness of Adam (if I may so say) to our bodies, so long as they are naturally conversant on earth, to wit, in this life, and in the grave: and also the spirituality of Christ to the same our bodies, after that they are risen again: and he saith, that that goeth before and this shall follow.
1 Corinthians 15:49 Not a vain and false image, but such an one as had the truth with it indeed.
1 Corinthians 15:50 The conclusion: We cannot be partakers of the glory of God, unless we put off all that gross and filthy nature of our bodies subject to corruption, that the same body may be adorned with incorruptible glory.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Flesh and blood are taken here for a living body, which cannot attain to incorruption, unless it put off corruption.
1 Corinthians 15:51 He goeth further, declaring that it shall come to pass that they which shall be found alive in the latterday, shall not descend into that corruption of the grave, but shall be renewed with a sudden change, which change is very requisite: and that the certain enjoying of the benefit and victory of Christ, is deferred unto that latter time.
1 Corinthians 15:51 A thing that hath been hid, and never known hitherto, and therefore worthy that you give good care unto it.
1 Corinthians 15:52 He showeth us that the time shall be very short.
1 Corinthians 15:58 An exhortation taken from the profit that ensueth, that seeing they understand that the glory of the other life is laid up for faithful workmen, they continue and stand fast in the truth of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Through the Lord’s help and goodness working in us.

What are the new heaven and the new earth?
Answer
In Revelation 21:1, John sees something spectacular: “Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.” This new earth and new heaven are sometimes referred to as the “eternal state.” As seen in Revelation chapters 21—22, the new earth will be the eternal dwelling place of believers in Jesus Christ. Scripture gives us a few details of the new heaven and new earth.
The current heaven and earth have long been subject to God’s curse because of mankind’s sin. All creation “has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth” (Romans 8:22) as it awaits the fulfillment of God’s plan and “the children of God to be revealed” (verse 19). Heaven and earth will pass away (Mark 13:31), and they will be replaced by the new heaven and the new earth. At that time, the Lord, seated on His throne, says, “I am making everything new!” (Revelation 21:5). In the new creation, sin will be totally eradicated, and “there shall be no more curse” (Revelation 22:3, NKJV).
The new heaven and new earth are also mentioned in Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; and 2 Peter 3:13. Peter says that the new heaven and new earth will be “where righteousness dwells.” Isaiah says that “the former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.” Things will be completely new, and the old order of things, with the accompanying sorrow and tragedy, will be gone.
The new earth will be free from sin, evil, sickness, suffering, and death. It will be earth as God originally intended it to be, prior to the curse of sin. It will be Eden restored.
A major feature of the new earth will be the New Jerusalem. John calls it “the Holy City . . . coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Revelation 21:2). This glorious city, with its streets of gold and pearly gates, is situated on a new, glorious earth. The tree of life will be there (Revelation 22:2). This city represents the final state of redeemed mankind, forever in fellowship with God: “God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. . . . His servants will serve him. They will see his face” (Revelation 21:3; 22:3–4).
In the new heaven and new earth, Scripture says, there are seven things notable for their absence—seven things that are “no more”:
• no more sea (Revelation 21:1)
• no more death (Revelation 21:4)
• no more mourning (Revelation 21:4)
• no more weeping (Revelation 21:4)
• no more pain (Revelation 21:4)
• no more curse (Revelation 22:3)
• no more night (Revelation 22:5)
The creation of the new heaven and new earth brings the promise that God “will wipe every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4). This event comes after the tribulation, after the Lord’s second coming, after the millennial kingdom, after the final rebellion, after the final judgment of Satan, and after the great white throne judgment. The brief description of the new heaven and new earth is the last glimpse into eternity that the Bible gives.

Romans 8
1599 Geneva Bible
8 1 He concludeth that there is no condemnation to them, who are grafted in Christ through his Spirit, 3 howsoever they be as yet burdened with sins: 9 For they live through that Spirit, 14 Whose testimony, 15 driveth away all fear, 28 and relieveth our present miseries.
1 Now [a]then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, which [b]walk not after the [c]flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 [d]For the [e]Law of the Spirit of [f]life which is in [g]Christ Jesus, hath [h]freed me from the Law of sin and of death.
3 [i]For (that that was [j]impossible to the Law, inasmuch as it was weak, because of the [k]flesh) God sending his own Son, in the similitude of [l]sinful flesh, and for [m]sin, [n]condemned sin in the flesh,
4 That that [o]righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled [p]in us, which walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 [q]For they that are after the [r]flesh, savor the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 [s]For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the Spirit is life and peace,
7 [t]Because the wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God: [u]for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 [v]So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.
9 [w]Now ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, the same is not his.
10 [x]And if Christ be in you, the [y]body is dead, because of sin: but the Spirit is life for righteousness sake.
11 [z]But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, by his Spirit that [aa]dwelleth in you.
12 [ab]Therefore brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13 [ac]For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye mortify the deeds of the body by the Spirit, ye shall live.
14 [ad]For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 [ae]For ye have not received the [af]Spirit of bondage, to [ag]fear again: but ye have received the Spirit of [ah]adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The same Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
17 [ai]If we be children, we are also [aj]heirs, even the heirs of God, and heirs annexed with Christ: [ak]if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 [al]For I [am]count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shall be showed unto us.
19 [an]For the fervent desire of the [ao]creature waiteth when the sons of God shall be revealed,
20 Because the creature is subject to [ap]vanity, not of its [aq]own will, but by reason [ar]of him, which hath subdued it under [as]hope,
21 Because the creature also shall be delivered from the [at]bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
22 For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and [au]travaileth in pain together unto this present.
23 [av]And not only the creature, but we also which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we do sigh in [aw]ourselves, waiting for the adoption, even [ax]the redemption of our body.
24 [ay]For we are saved by hope: but [az]hope that is seen, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we do with patience abide for it.
26 [ba]Likewise the Spirit also [bb]helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what to pray as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh [bc]request for us with sighs, which cannot be expressed.
27 But he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the [bd]meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for the Saints, [be]according to the will of God.
28 [bf]Also we know that [bg]all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his [bh]purpose.
29 For those which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover, whom he [bi]predestinated, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 [bj]What shall we then say to these things? If God be on our side, who can be against us?
32 Who spared not his own Son, but gave him for us all to death, how shall he not with him [bk]give us all things also?
33 [bl]Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s chosen? it is [bm]God that justifieth.
34 Who shall condemn? it is Christ which is dead: yea, or rather, which is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of [bn]Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake are we killed all day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter:
37 [bo]Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Footnotes
Romans 8:1 A conclusion of all the former disputation from Rom 1:16 even to this place: Seeing that we being justified by faith in Christ, do obtain remission of sins and imputation of righteousness, and are also sanctified, it followeth hereof, that they that are grafted into Christ by faith, are out of all fear of condemnation.
Romans 8:1 The fruits of the Spirit, or effects of sanctification, which is begun in us, do not ingraft us into Christ, but do declare that we are grafted into him.
Romans 8:1 Follow not the flesh for their guide: for he is not said to live after the flesh, that hath the holy Ghost for his guide, though sometimes he step away.
Romans 8:2 A preventing of an objection: seeing that the virtue of the spirit which is in us, is so weak, how may we gather thereby, that there is no condemnation to them that have that virtue? because saith he, that virtue of the quickening spirit which is so weak in us, is most perfect and most mighty in Christ, and being imputed unto us which believe, causeth us to be so accounted of, as though there were no relics of corruption, and death in us. Therefore hitherto Paul disputed of remission of sins, and imputation of fulfilling the Law, and also of sanctification which is begun in us: but now he speaketh of the perfect imputation of Christ’s manhood, which part was necessarily required to the full appeasing of our consciences: for our sins are defaced by the blood of Christ, and the guiltiness of our corruption is covered with the imputation of Christ’s obedience: and the corruption itself (which the Apostle calleth sinful sin) is healed in us by little and little, by the gift of sanctification, but yet it lacketh besides that another remedy, to wit, the perfect sanctification of Christ’s own flesh, which also is to us imputed.
Romans 8:2 The power and authority of the spirit, against which is set the tyranny of sin.
Romans 8:2 Which mortifieth the old man, and quickeneth the new man.
Romans 8:2 To wit, absolutely and perfectly.
Romans 8:2 For Christ’s sanctification being imputed unto us, perfecteth our sanctification which is begun in us.
Romans 8:3 He useth no argument here, but expoundeth the mystery of sanctification, which is imputed unto us: for because, that the virtue of the law was not such (and that by reason of the corruption of our nature) that it could make man pure and perfect: and for that it rather kindled the disease of sin, than did put it out and extinguish it, therefore God clothed his Son with flesh like unto our sinful flesh, wherein he utterly abolished our corruption, that being accounted thoroughly pure and without fault in him apprehended and laid hold on by faith, we might be found to have fully that singular perfection which the Law requireth, and therefore that there might be no condemnation in us.
Romans 8:3 Which is not proper to the Law, but cometh by our fault.
Romans 8:3 In man not born anew, whose disease the law could not heal it.
Romans 8:3 Of man’s nature which was corrupt through sin, until he sanctified it.
Romans 8:3 To abolish sin in our flesh.
Romans 8:3 Showed that sin hath no right in us.
Romans 8:4 The very substance of the law of God might be fulfilled, or that same which the law requireth, that we may be found just before God: for if with our justification there be joined that sanctification which is imputed to us, we are just, according to the perfect form which the Lord requireth.
Romans 8:4 He returneth to that which he said, that the sanctification which is begun in us, is a sure testimony of our ingrafting into Christ, which is a most plentiful fruit of a godly and honest life.
Romans 8:5 A reason why to walk after the flesh, agreeth not to them which are grafted in Christ, but to walk after the spirit agreeth and is meet for them: because, saith he, that they which are after the flesh, savor the things of the flesh, but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.
Romans 8:5 They that live as the flesh leadeth them.
Romans 8:6 He proveth the consequent: because that whatsoever the flesh savoreth, that engendereth death: and whatsoever the spirit savoreth, that tendeth to joy and life everlasting.
Romans 8:7 A reason and proof, why the wisdom of the flesh is death: because, saith he, it is the enemy of God.
Romans 8:7 A reason why the wisdom of the flesh is enemy to God: because it neither will neither can be subject to him. And by flesh he meaneth a man not regenerate.
Romans 8:8 The conclusion: therefore they that walk after the flesh, cannot please God: whereby it followeth, that they are not ingrafted into Christ.
Romans 8:9 He cometh to the others, to wit, to them which walk after the spirit, of whom we have to understand contrary things to the former: and first of all he defineth what it is to be in the spirit, or to be sanctified: to wit, to have the spirit of God dwelling in us; then he declareth, that sanctification is so joined and knit to our grafting in Christ, that it can by no means be separated.
Romans 8:10 He confirmeth the faithful against the relics of flesh and sin, granting that they are yet (as appeareth by the corruption which is in them) touching one of their parts (which he calleth the body, that is to say, a lump) which is not yet purged from the earthly filthiness in death: but therewithall willing them to doubt nothing of the happy success of their combat, because that even the little spark of the Spirit, (that is, of the grace of regeneration) which appeareth to be in them by the fruits of righteousness, is the seed of life.
Romans 8:10 The flesh, or all that which as yet sticketh fast in the clefts of sin, and death.
Romans 8:11 A confirmation of the former sentence. You have the selfsame Spirit, which Christ hath: Therefore at length it shall die the same in you, that it did in Christ, to wit, when all infirmities being utterly laid aside, and death overcome, it shall clothe you with heavenly glory.
Romans 8:11 By the virtue and power of it, which showed the same might first in our head, and daily worketh in his members.
Romans 8:12 An exhortation to oppress the flesh daily more and more by the virtue of the Spirit of regeneration, because (saith he) you are debtors unto God, forsomuch as you have received so many benefits of him.
Romans 8:13 Another reason of the profit that ensueth: for such as strive and fight valiantly, shall have everlasting life.
Romans 8:14 A confirmation of this reason: they be the children of God, which are governed by his Spirit, therefore shall they have life everlasting.
Romans 8:15 He declareth and expoundeth by the way, in these two verses, by what right this name, to be called the children of God, is given to the believers: because saith he, they have received the grace of the Gospel, wherein God showeth himself, not (as before in the publishing of the Law) terrible and fearful, but a most benign and loving father in Christ, so that with great boldness we call him Father, that holy Ghost sealing this adoption in our hearts by faith.
Romans 8:15 By the Spirit is meant the holy Ghost, whom we are said to receive, when he worketh in our minds.
Romans 8:15 Which fear is stirred up in our minds, by the preaching of the Law.
Romans 8:15 Which sealeth our adoption in our minds, and therefore openeth our mouths.
Romans 8:17 A proof of the consequent of the confirmation: because that he which is the Son of God, doth enjoy God with Christ.
Romans 8:17 Partakers of our father’s goods, and that freely, because we are children by adoption.
Romans 8:17 Now Paul teacheth by what way the sons of God do come to that felicity, to wit, by the cross, as Christ himself did: and therewithall openeth unto them fountains of comfort: as first, that we have Christ a companion and fellow of our afflictions: secondly, that we shall be also his followers in that everlasting glory.
Romans 8:18 Thirdly that this glory which we look for, doth a thousand parts surmount the misery of our afflictions.
Romans 8:18 All being well considered, I gather.
Romans 8:19 Fourthly, he plainly teacheth us that we shall certainly be renewed from that confusion and horrible deformation of the whole world, which cannot be continual, as it was not at the beginning: But as it had a beginning by the sin of man, for whom it was made by the ordinance of God, so shall it at length be restored with the elect.
Romans 8:19 All this world.
Romans 8:20 Is subject to a vanishing and flitting state.
Romans 8:20 Not by their natural inclination.
Romans 8:20 That they should obey the Creator’s commandment, whom it pleased to show by their fickle estate, how greatly he was displeased with man.
Romans 8:20 God would not make the world subject to everlasting curse, for the sin of man, but gave it hope that it should be restored.
Romans 8:21 From the corruption which they are now subject to, they shall be delivered and changed into that blessed state of incorruption, which shall be revealed when the sons of God shall be advanced to glory.
Romans 8:22 By this word is meant, not only exceeding sorrow, but also the fruit that followeth of it.
Romans 8:23 Fifthly, if the rest of the world looks for a restoring, groaning as it were for it, and that not in vain, let it not grieve us also to sigh, yea, let us be more certainly persuaded of our redemption to come, forasmuch as we have the firstfruits of the Spirit.
Romans 8:23 Even from the bottom of our hearts.
Romans 8:23 That last restoring, which shall be the accomplishment of our adoption.
Romans 8:24 Sixthly, hope is necessarily joined with faith: seeing then that we believe those things, which we are not yet in possession of, and hope respected not the thing that is present, we must therefore hope and patiently wait for that which we believe shall come to pass.
Romans 8:24 This is spoken by the figure Metonymy: Hope, for that which is hoped for.
Romans 8:26 Seventhly, There is no cause why we should faint under the burden of afflictions, seeing that prayers minister unto us a most sure help, which cannot be frustrated, seeing they proceed from the spirit of God which dwelleth in us.
Romans 8:26 Beareth our burden, as it were that we faint not under it.
Romans 8:26 Provoketh us to prayers, and telleth us as it were within, what we shall say, and how we shall groan.
Romans 8:27 What sobs and sighs proceed from the instinct of his Spirit.
Romans 8:27 Because he teacheth the godly to pray according to God’s will.
Romans 8:28 Eighthly, we are not afflicted, either by chance or to our harm, but by God’s providence for our great profit, who as he chose us from the beginning, so hath he predestined us to be made like to the image of his Son: and therefore will bring us in his time, being called and justified, to glory, by the cross.
Romans 8:28 Not only afflictions, but whatsoever else.
Romans 8:28 He calleth that, Purpose, which God hath from everlasting appointed with himself according to his good will and pleasure.
Romans 8:30 He useth the time past, for the time present, as the Hebrews use, who sometimes set down the thing that is to come, by the time that is past, to signify the certainty of it: and he hath also regard to God’s continual working.
Romans 8:31 Ninethly, we have no cause to fear that the Lord will not give us whatsoever is profitable for us, seeing that he hath not spared his own Son to save us.
Romans 8:32 Give us freely.
Romans 8:33 A most glorious and comfortable conclusion of the whole second part of this Epistle, that is, of the treatise of justification. There are no accusers that we have need to be afraid of before God, seeing that God himself absolveth us as just: and therefore much less need we to fear damnation, seeing that we rest upon the death and resurrection, the almighty power and defense of Jesus Christ. Therefore what can there be so weighty in this life, or of so great force and power, that might seize us, as though we might fall from the love of God, wherewith he loveth us in Christ: Surely nothing. Seeing that it is in itself most constant and sure, and also in us being confirmed by steadfast faith.
Romans 8:33 Who pronounceth us not only guiltless, but also perfectly just in his Son.
Romans 8:35 Wherewith Christ loveth us.
Romans 8:37 We are not only not overcome with so great and many miseries and calamities, but also more than conquerors in all of them.
