Last time, we talked with Gabriel Kennedy about his exceptional biography of Robert Anton Wilson. This time, we're talking about an insane chapter in post WWII history—one that also captured Wilson's interest. And that would be Propaganda Due. Subscribe on Patreon to get extra episodes and listen to our back catalog patreon.com/wetwired Propaganda Due (P2) was originally a Masonic lodge established in 1877 under the Grand Orient of Italy, adhering to Continental Freemasonry traditions. In 1976, its Masonic charter was revoked, and under the leadership of Licio Gelli, it evolved into an illegal, clandestine organization.  P2 operated as a radical right-wing, anti-communist, anti-Soviet, and anti-Marxist secret society, violating Article 18 of the Italian Constitution, which prohibited such secret associations. Gelli continued to run the unaffiliated lodge from 1976 to 1984.  P2 was linked to numerous crimes and scandals in Italy, including the collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano (associated with the Holy See), the murders of journalist Carmine Pecorelli and banker Roberto Calvi, and widespread political corruption during the Tangentopoli bribery scandal. The organization's activities were exposed during investigations into the downfall of Michele Sindona's financial empire.

À l'occasion de la sortie du roman d'Éric Giacometti et Jacques Ravenne La Clé et la Croix (éditions J.-C. Lattès), qui explore l'influence maçonnique sous l'Empire, Virginie Girod vous plonge dans le secret de la franc-maçonnerie ! La franc-maçonnerie serait née au début du XVIIIe siècle en Angleterre, avant d'arriver en France quelques années plus tard. Plus que secrets, les francs-maçons sont surtout discrets. Tournés vers la connaissance, les loges sont d'abord des groupes de sociabilité et de réflexion, essentiellement masculins. En 1773, une nouvelle obédience apparaît : le Grand Orient, sans doute la plus célèbre aujourd'hui en France. Mais le Grand Orient ne se veut pas mixte. Les femmes initiées sont cantonnées à des loges d'adoption, elles-mêmes rattachées à une loge mère masculine qui supervise leur réunions. À la même époque, Marie-Josèphe-Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, la future Joséphine, débarque en France depuis sa Martinique natale et épouse Alexandre de Beauharnais. Plusieurs membres de cette famille ambitieuse sont initiés à la franc-maçonnerie. Comme les loges sont majoritairement fréquentées par des aristocrates, elles sont suspectes aux yeux des révolutionnaires. La franc-maçonnerie connaît cependant un regain d'activité sous Napoléon. Son propre frère Joseph Bonaparte, le Prince Joachim Murat étaient initiés, ainsi que Joséphine dès 1805. Des loges sont même fondées en l'honneur du couple impérial ! Mais les loges d'adoption finissent par péricliter, jusqu'à leur interdiction en 1808. Il n'y a alors plus, ou presque plus, de femmes en maçonnerie. Il faut attendre 2010 pour que le Grand Orient s'ouvre officiellement aux femmes !

En 2015, le Grand Orient de France a reçu Robert Badinter pour lui remettre le prix « Marianne », des mains de Daniel Keller alors Grand Maître du GO. Lors de son discours, Robert Badinter s'était livré à un très bel éloge de la Laïcité comme une «une source de fraternité civique qui apaise les tensions entre communautés » et comme « le garant de la dignité de l'être humain » ; « La Laïcité, qui implique l'interdiction de toutes les discriminations en raison de la foi ou d'un credo philosophique ou politique, est un bien légué par des générations de Républicains… et de francs-maçons » ; Et il avait conclu par ces mots : « Soyons fiers de la Laïcité, car elle est une valeur fondamentale de la République française. » Daniel Keller répondit à l'ancien Gardes Sceaux en ces termes « Les francs-maçons du GODF ont été les bâtisseurs acharnés de la Laïcité ». Et d'ajouter « À une époque où nous manquons de référents, vous êtes une figure majeure de notre République. Vous êtes un Maçon sans tablier… ce qui est mieux que de porter un tablier sans être Maçon ! ». Voilà qui explique le titre de cet émission, Robert Badinter, un maçon sans tablier ? Et je rappelle aux auditeurs qui sont peu habitué aux langages des francs-maçons, qu'un maçon sans tablier est une personne qui n'est pas franc-maçon et Badinter ne l'était pas, mais qui partage et défend les valeurs et les principes de la franc-maçonnerie, comme la laïcité, la tolérance, la liberté et conscience et d'expression. Et donc Robert Badinter était un maçon sans tablier Et ce sont sur cette idée que nous allons travailler, ce soir, avec nos invités : - Emmanuel Pierrat, nos auditeurs vous connaissent bien puisque vous avez participé à de nombreuses émissions de RadioDelta, sur le Wokisme, sur l'athéisme et d'autres encore. En tant que Conservateur du Musée du Barreau de Paris, vous aviez rencontré Robert Badinter afin de la solliciter pour des prêts de son exceptionnelle collection de documents et objets liés à l'histoire judiciaire. Et vous nous parlerez de vos rencontres et de ce qu'il vous a apporté. Efnin vous avez publié avec Laurent Kupferman, un livre passionnant qui s'intitule « Ce que la France doit aux Francs-maçons » et dans ce livre un chapitre est consacré à l'histoire de l'abolition de la peine de mort et vous nous raconterez cette histoire… - Wilfrid Vincent, vous avez rencontré Robert Badinter de nombreuses fois los que vous étiez militant et élu du Parti Socialiste en 19.. et vous nous raconterez ce qui est peut-être moins connu du grand public, je veux dire le militant politique, engagé au PS, sa vie de militant après son mandat de ministre et de président du Conseil Constitutionnel, lorsqu'il fut Sénateur. - Enfin nous devions avoir avec nous ce soir Domino Eloudy, réalisatrice avec un film sur Bartholdi, un sur Joséphine Baker et donc, l'Abolition, un film qui retrace le lent chemin depuis Becaria et Victor Hugo jusqu'à Badinter, le long chemin vers l'abolition de la Peine de mort, votée en France en 1982 et inscrite dans la constitution par le président Chirac en 2007. Dans son film, Domino Eloudy a longuement interviewé Robert Badinter. Malheureusement Domino ne peut pas être avec nous ce soir, mais pour se faire pardonner, elle nous a autorisé à diffuser sur RadioDelta les extraits de son film. Vous n'aurez pas les images mais la voix de Robert Badinter et ça, c'est déjà quelque chose. Ce soir, à côté de Philippe Benhamou, nos fidèles chroniqueurs : - Viviane Bensoussan, va nous parler de justice. En 1982 Viviane était avocate depuis 1 an et rêvait de changer le monde, le rendre plus juste et Robert Badinter l'a fait. - Sophie est allée voir du côté du Panthéon, cette place des grands hommes… et des grandes femmes bien sûr et nous parlera aussi, de Navalny. - Josselin Morand, a préparé un hommage à Robert Badinter, sans y oublier une petite une dose d'éthique - Alexandre T. - Philor notre chroniqueur cinéma, nous dira pourquoi les héros ne meurent jamais, enfin ne meurent presque jamais au cinéma. - Igor nous parlera de panthéonisation - Eric C. (anonyme) a assisté à l'hommage rendu à Robert Badinter dans la cour des Invalides le 14 février dernier et vous nous dira ce que vous avez ressenti. - Enfin, toujours fidèle aux manettes et autres potentiomètres, Gilles à la Technique.

Emmanuelle Hénin, professeur de littérature comparée à la Sorbonne. Co-organisatrice du colloque ‘Après la déconstruction' en janvier 2022. Il y a des mots qui gagnent les esprits et même s'ils ne sont pas nouveaux, ils ne rencontrent pas beaucoup d'obstacle dans le grand vide de la production intellectuelle : celui de déconstruction est plus qu'un mot, c'est un programme, une démarche qui impose sa grille de lecture, à l'université, dans le champ social et politique. Il faut tout déconstruire, au point qu'à l'université des professeurs soucieux de transmettre le savoir se sont mobilisés pour s'en plaindre et dénoncer l'emprise que ce phénomène exercerait sur leur métier. Ils l'ont dans un colloque dont les actes viennent d'être publiés. Cela s'appelle Après la déconstruction – L'université au défi des idéologies. Ce colloque s'était tenu en Sorbonne en janvier 2022. L'événement était organisé par l'Observatoire du décolonialisme, le Collège de Philosophie et avec le soutien du Comité Laïcité République proche du Grand Orient de France. Soixante universitaires avaient pointé les dérives du déconstructionnisme, phénomène peu connu du grand public. Jean-Michel Blanquer, alors ministre de l'Education nationale, y avait participé, tout comme Pascal Perrineau ou Pierre-André Taguieff.

Chevalier de Saint-Georges é um nome pouco conhecido para muitos, mas ele foi um dos músicos mais talentosos de sua época e um pioneiro que abriu caminho para a diversidade na música clássica europeia. Nascido em 1745 na ilha de Guadalupe, filho de um rico fazendeiro das Antilhas e uma jovem escravizada de 17 anos, Saint-Georges teve uma vida difícil, mas seu pai deu-lhe uma educação digna de qualquer filho de fidalgo. Como resultado, ele se tornou um dos primeiros músicos clássicos europeus de origem africana. Saint-Georges se destacou em muitas áreas, incluindo esgrima, música e liderança militar. Ele foi o melhor espadachim da França e um dos melhores da Europa na sua época. Além disso, ele era um violinista virtuoso e se tornou o chefe da Orquestra de Paris. Foi chamado de "Mozart Negro" ou "Voltaire da Música" por causa de sua notável habilidade musical e sua grande inteligência. Apesar de suas realizações, Saint-Georges sofreu preconceito racial durante sua vida. Ele era ameaçado todo ano de não ser matriculado na escola devido ao racismo que imperava na França. Mesmo assim, graças às influências do pai, ele conseguiu entrar na Academia Real de Música do Rei. Durante a Revolução Francesa, Saint-Georges conduziu uma brigada de afrodescendentes voluntários, conhecida como a Legião Saint-George. Foi nomeado o primeiro coronel negro do exército francês e Alexandre Dumas pai, autor do livro "Os Três Mosqueteiros", serviu sob seu comando. Saint-Georges também lutou pela igualdade e contra a escravidão, se tornando um ícone para muitos. Além de suas habilidades em música e esgrima, Saint-Georges também se tornou um franco-maçom. Ele foi iniciado na surdina devido ao preconceito da época, pelo Grão-Mestre do Grand Orient, Louis-Philippe Joseph d'Orléans, na Loja "Les Neuf Soeurs”. Saint-Georges fundou sua própria Loja Maçónica, formada por músicos Maçons, tornando-se o primeiro franco-maçom negro da França. A música de Saint-Georges é notável por suas misturas de estilos, incluindo influências da música africana e da música popular francesa. Ele compôs várias óperas, música de câmara e sinfonias, que foram muito apreciadas durante sua vida. No entanto, sua música foi injustamente esquecida depois de sua morte. Hoje, a história e o legado de Chevalier de Saint-Georges estão sendo redescobertos. Sua vida é um exemplo da perseverança e da determinação em superar o racismo e o preconceito, além de ser um marco na história da música clássica europeia e da maçonaria francesa. Saint-Georges foi um pioneiro, que abriu caminho para a diversidade e a inclusão na música e em outras áreas da vida. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

Por Paulo Kanate Com a chegada do no mundo maçônico, muitas perguntas surgiram: quais foram os impactos na maçonaria africana? E as proibições político-religiosas e como esses obstáculos foram contornados? Qual é a percepção atual da Maçonaria na África? Neste artigo, respondemos a todas essas perguntas analisando em profundidade a história e o desenvolvimento da Maçonaria na África. História da Maçonaria na África A Maçonaria foi estabelecida na África no século XVIII. Entrou no continente através de missionários e militares coloniais franceses, britânicos, belgas e portugueses que trouxeram os ideais maçônicos para o continente africano. Lojas europeias adaptavam rituais ao ambiente cultural local e os membros se autodenominavam "irmãos", unindo-os em solidariedade simbólica. Origens Segundo algumas fontes, a primeira loja maçônica foi fundada em 1737 no Egito, mas não sobreviveu por muito tempo. A loja mais antiga conhecida no continente é a da Presidência do Benin (ex-Daomé), fundada em 1852 por um chefe consuetudinário e aberta exclusivamente a membros locais qualificados. Em 1862, o Grande Oriente da França estabeleceu sua primeira loja maçônica no Senegal e outras lojas se seguiram em todo o continente africano. Expansão e influência Durante o período colonial, novas lojas foram estabelecidas nas colônias européias para atender a população europeia. No início do século 20, as lojas haviam se enraizado em quase todos os países africanos de língua francesa, incluindo alguns países de língua inglesa, como África do Sul, Zimbábue e Quênia. Em alguns casos, a influência maçônica se estendeu para incluir líderes africanos assumindo posições de responsabilidade em ordens maçônicas internacionais, como o Grand Orient de France (GODF) e o Grand Loge National Français (GLNF). Proibições político-religiosas Motivos da proibição A partir da década de 1970, quando a maioria dos países africanos estava conquistando a independência política e nacional, vários estados muçulmanos e cristãos proibiram a prática da Maçonaria por vários motivos. Oponentes religiosos frequentemente denunciavam a Maçonaria como uma forma secreta de adoração idólatra ou pagã, ou como uma organização secreta que procurava substituir Deus por um chamado "grande arquiteto". Superando as proibições A maioria das lojas foi forçada a operar nas sombras e essas proibições continuaram em vigor até o final do século XX. No entanto, novas organizações maçônicas trabalharam para superar essas proibições. De fato, alguns irmãos africanos têm procurado se aproximar das principais ordens maçônicas européias para obter seu reconhecimento formal. Por exemplo, em 1985, a Grande Loge Nationale Française (GLNF) estabeleceu uma “obediência” no Benin, apesar das restrições religiosas. Desenvolvimento da Afro-Maçonaria No final do século 20, a chegada das Lojas Prince Hall (uma loja americana fundada em 1887 por escravos negros) deu um novo impulso à Maçonaria na África. Essas lojas introduziram um movimento que tentou reinterpretar os ritos maçônicos de uma perspectiva africana e apelar para as tradições culturais locais para criar o que alguns chamam de "afro-maçonaria". Este movimento também estimulou o desenvolvimento de uma "grande loja" continental, conhecida como Grande Loja da África (GLA), com sede em Abidjan, Costa do Marfim. Diferenças entre Maçonaria e Afro-Maçonaria As principais diferenças entre a Maçonaria e a Afro-Maçonaria estão relacionadas principalmente à espiritualidade e à prática maçônica. Enquanto os irmãos maçônicos tradicionais geralmente buscam uma conexão espiritual mística com o Grande Arquiteto do Universo, os membros afro-maçônicos veem o serviço comunitário como seu maior dever e colocam ênfase particular nos laços familiares e nas responsabilidades sociais. Ao mesmo tempo, os seus ritos centram-se em símbolos africanos como máscaras, esculturas ou mesmo antigas linhagens reais.

Introduction Bien sur que c'était mieux avant, on pouvait tout dire tout écrire, tout dessiner, pour preuve, souvenez-vous des dessins anticléricaux de la fin du 19e siècle, où des curés copulaient joyeusement avec des nonnes, où Léo taxil amusait la galerie avec les Les amours secrètes de Pie IX. Ce roman, qui prétendait comme d'autres raconter les débauches de l'Église, en attribuant de nombreuses maîtresses au pape défunt, lui valut son plus important procès : Girolamo Mastaï, neveu du souverain pontife, l'attaqua en diffamation et obtint 60 000 francs de dommages-intérêts en décembre 1881. Quand même, on peut tout dire et tout écrire, à condition d'avoir un bon avocat, ce n'est pas Viviane Bensoussan qui pourrait nous dire le contraire. Alors oui, on pouvait tout dire. J'aurai pu amener mais les images ne passent pas très bien à la radio, les couvertures de Hara Kiri, les fausses pub, sexistes, crades, noires mais tellement drôles. Harakiri puis Charlie hebdo qui pouvaient tout dire, tout écrire, tout tourner en dérision jusqu'à ce sinistre 7 janvier 2015, date de l'assassinat des membres de l'équipe de Charlie. Alors, on a tous crié Je Suis Charlie, puis quelques temps après, je suis Charlie mais, mais quand même, mais quand même, ils l'ont un peu cherché, puis, je ne suis pas Charlie, ils l'on un peu cherché, ils l'ont bien cherché, et puis c'est bien fait pour eux, on n'injurie pas ainsi la religion. Alors depuis, certains hésitent, se retiennent, se disent que peut-être il faut ne pas manquer de respect, ne pas jouer avec la susceptibilité de ceux qui ont la gâchette facile, ou plutôt la lame aiguisé. Nos invités - Catherine Lyautey Grande Maîtresse de la Grande Loge Féminine de France La Grande Loge Féminine de France a été créée en 1945, elle compte aujourd'hui près de 14.000 sœurs membres de 504 loges réparties en France métropolitaine mais aussi en Outre-Mer, dans l'Océan indien, le Moyen Orient et les continents africain et européen. Depuis Juin 2021 elle est présidée par Catherine LYAUTEY. Voilà plus de 75 ans, que la Grande Loge Féminine de France permet l'émancipation, le perfectionnement et l'autonomie des femmes qui se rassemblent autour des valeurs de la République : Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. Les femmes qui rejoignent la Grande Loge Féminine de France s'engagent sur un chemin philosophique et spirituel intime, dans une démarche humaniste. Elles contribuent à la construction d'une société fondée sur des valeurs de li berté, de tolérance, de respect de l'autre et de soi-même, qui repose sur le pilier laïcité de notre République. - Laure Caille Grande Maîtresse d'honneur de la Grande Loge Féminine de Bulgarie Réunion des Grande Loges Féminines - Santiago du Chili 13 - 16 octobre 2022 : Créé en 1981 le CLIMAF (Centre de Liaison International de la Maçonnerie Féminine), réunit 11 pays, dont la France, qui en a pris la Présidence en 2021.

Celle-ci dirigea les loges symboliques sous l'autorité du Suprême Conseil de France jusqu'en 1895, année où, avec l'accord de ce dernier, elles purent s'administrer elles-mêmes sous le titre de Grande Loge de France, leur liberté définitive étant totalement acquise en 1904. Entre 1896 et 1899, les rejoignirent, celles de la Grande Loge Symbolique Ecossaise, dissidence de la Grande Loge Centrale, créée en 1880 et continuatrice de l'esprit d'une autre dissidence, la Grande Loge Nationale de France de 1848. 
La célébration de ce bicentenaire n'occulte pas le fait que la franc-maçonnerie française, apparue dans la première moitié du XVIIIe?siècle, soit naturellement plus ancienne, en particulier la première Grande Loge de France qui dura de 1743 à 1799 et la deuxième qui n'exista qu'en 1804. Mais elle rappelle que, de 1822 à 2022, il y eut une continuité de gestion des loges symboliques écossistes, et par là-même l'affirmation des valeurs progressistes, humanistes et spirituelles portées par le Rite Ecossais Ancien et Accepté. D'où cette synthèse historique couvrant ces deux siècles.

Become an elite Poopinati! www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com   The Illuminati   So, you're standing amongst the council, being tried by a jury of a higher order. Your crime; Being the most dangerous person across the multiverse. You look shockingly at Mordo, Richards, and the other members of this definitive group of beings as you defend your alleged crimes, for you are facing the… Illuminati!   Or some shit like that.   We are exploring the super, double extra wannabe cult or the underground rulers of everything evil, depending on your take after today, the "Real Illuminati." At first, we'll dive into what they SAY IS THE REAL STORY OF THE ILLUMINATI Wink Wink! (Be we all know the truth) and then we're going to jump right in to what mainstream media (which is controlled by the illuminati) says are “conspiracies”. Strap on your tinfoil hats, Passengers! We're going for a ride!!   The term "Illuminati" refers to several genuine and imagined organizations. However, the term historically refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society from the Age of Enlightenment that was established on May 1, 1776, in Bavaria, which is now a part of Germany and that has the most delicious cream donuts. The association aimed to combat abuses of governmental authority, superstition, obscurantism (intentionally providing information in a vague or complex way to prevent further investigation and understanding or, simply, spewing a bunch of word vomit to confuse people), and religious influence in public life. In its general laws, they stated that controlling the perpetrators without conquering them was the "rule of the day."    Later, the term "Illuminati" was used to describe many groups that are said to represent a continuation of the original Bavarian Illuminati (even though these links have not been proven). To obtain political power and influence and create a "New World Order," these organizations have frequently been charged with plotting to manipulate events and install operatives inside of governments and companies. The Illuminati are portrayed as lurking in the shadows and manipulating the strings and levers of power. They play a crucial role in some of the most well-known and intricate conspiracy theories. This interpretation of the Illuminati has found its way into popular culture, appearing in various books, movies, T.V. episodes, comic books, video games, and music videos.   At the University of Ingolstadt, Adam Weishaupt (1748–1830) started teaching canon law and practical philosophy in 1773. (Canon Law, according to Wikipedia, is "how the Church organizes and governs herself." It is the system of laws and religious legal principles made and enforced by the hierarchical authorities of the Catholic Church to regulate its external organization and government and to order and direct the activities of Catholics toward the mission of the Church.) He taught in a school-sponsored by Jesuits, whose order Pope Clement XIV (14th) had suppressed in 1773, and was the only non-clerical professor there. The university's finances and some authority, which they continued to see as belonging to them, were still in the hands of the Ingolstadt Jesuits. When course content featured anything they deemed liberal or Protestant, they made constant attempts to frustrate and discredit non-clerical employees, especially in those instances. Weishaupt had a strong anti-clerical stance and decided to use a covert organization of like-minded people to propagate the Aufklärung (Enlightenment) beliefs. The word clerical in this sense means "referring to anything to do with the clergy — those ordained for religious work, usually in the Christian faith."   He said "screw it" and established his own society, which was to have a ranking or grading system modeled after Freemasonry, but with his own goals because he felt Freemasonry was too costly and not open to his ideas. Bund der Perfektibilisten, or Covenant of Perfectibility (Perfectibilists), was the new order's initial name and a horrible one, to boot. Still, it was later modified since it sounded like some pretentious bullshit. Weishaupt established the Perfectibilists on May 1, 1776, choosing the Owl of Minerva as their emblem. The Owl of Minerva is often called the "owl of Athena." It has been a symbol of knowledge and wisdom throughout the Western world. The members were to use aliases within the society. Weishaupt became Spartacus. Law students Massenhausen, Bauhof, Merz, and Sutor, became Ajax, Agathon, Tiberius, and Erasmus Roterodamus. Logan would have been dubbed Hasentus Everseenamovieus, whereas I would have been known as Dopus Asfuckasus. Weishaupt later booted Sutor for being a lazy turd.    In April 1778, the order became the Illuminatenorden, or Order of Illuminati, after Weishaupt seriously considered calling it the "Bee order." Massenhausen was the first to step up and be most engaged in advancing society. Significantly, he hired Xavier von Zwack, a former pupil of Weishaupt who was just beginning his distinguished administrative career while studying at Munich not long after the order started. He was the head of the Bavarian National Lottery at the time, where if you won, you got all the donuts. And, of course, that's not true, but it should be.  Weishaupt quickly viewed Massenhausen's "go get em attitude" as a liability because it frequently led to attempts to hire the wrong people. Later, his unpredictable love life caused him to become careless. As Weishaupt turned over the leadership of the Munich group to Zwack, it was discovered that Massenhausen had stolen subscription money and read Weishaupt and Zwack's communications. After earning his degree in 1778, Massenhausen accepted a position outside Bavaria and lost interest in the order. The order had nominally twelve members at this point.   After Massenhausen left, Zwack put all his effort into finding more responsible and significant recruits. This included Hertel, a canon of the Munich Frauenkirche and a childhood friend of Weishaupt, who was considered a hell of a guy. By the end of the summer of 1778, the order had five territories: Munich (Athens), Ingolstadt (Eleusis), Ravensberg (Sparta), Freysingen (Thebes), and Eichstaedt, with a total of 27 members (including Massenhausen).   The order had three membership levels at the time—novice, minerval, and illuminated minerval—but only the minerval level required a problematic ceremony. In this, a password and code were supplied to the candidate. Weishaupt was kept informed on the actions and personalities of his members through a system of mutual espionage, with his favorites joining the Areopagus, the ruling council. Some newbies were allowed to join the army and become insinuates. Jews, pagans, women, monks, and members of other secret societies were told to fuck off, but upright Christians were what they wanted. Favored candidates were wealthy, submissive, eager to learn, and between 18 and 30.   After unsuccessfully trying to stop some of his followers from becoming Freemasons, Weishaupt decided to join them to gather resources for developing his own ritual. Early in February 1777, he was accepted into lodge "Prudence" of the Rite of Strict Observance. He learned nothing about the more advanced degrees of "blue lodge" masonry as he excelled through its three degrees. Still, the following year, a priest by the name of Abbé Marotti told Zwack that these deeper secrets depended on an understanding of the earlier religion and the primitive Church. Weishaupt was persuaded by Zwack that their own order should establish cordial ties with Freemasonry and acquire permission to develop their own lodge. At this stage (December 1778), adding the first three degrees of Freemasonry was considered a secondary project.   Quickly, a warrant was obtained from the Grand Lodge of Prussia called the Royal York for Friendship. The new lodge was named Theodore of the Good Council to flatter Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. It was founded in Munich on March 21, 1779, and quickly packed with Illuminati. However, the first master, Radl, was persuaded to return home to Baden and ran the lodge by July, per Weishaupt's order.   The next step involved independence from their Grand Lodge. By establishing masonic relations with the Union lodge in Frankfurt, affiliated to the Premier Grand Lodge of England, lodge Theodore became independently recognized and able to declare its independence. As a new mother lodge, it could now spawn its own lodges. The recruiting drive amongst the Frankfurt masons also obtained the allegiance of Adolph Freiherr Knigge.   Knigge was recruited late in 1780 at a convention of the Rite of Strict Observance by Costanzo Marchese di Costanzo, an infantry captain in the Bavarian army and a fellow Freemason. As he was still in his twenties, Knigge had already reached the highest initiatory grades of his order and had arrived with his own grand plans for reform. Disappointed that his plan found no support, Knigge was immediately intrigued when Costanzo informed him that the order he sought to create already existed. Knigge and three of his friends expressed a strong interest in learning more of this order, and Costanzo showed them material relating to the Minerval grade. The teaching material for the stage was "liberal" literature which was banned in Bavaria but common knowledge in the Protestant German states.   Knigge's three colleagues lost interest in Costanzo after becoming disillusioned and extremely confused, like the rest of us. Still, he persisted and was rewarded in November 1780 with a letter from Weishaupt. Knigge was a perfect candidate because of his ties inside and outside Freemasonry. For his part, Knigge was charmed by the attention and drawn to the order's proclaimed goals of educating people and shielding them against oppression. Moreover, Weishaupt recognized Knigge's interest in alchemy and the "higher sciences" and promised to promote them. In response to Weishaupt, Knigge laid out his ideas for reforming Freemasonry when the Strict Observance was beginning to doubt its history.   Before he could be admitted to the higher ranks of the order, Weishaupt put Knigge in charge of recruitment. Knigge agreed, but with the stipulation that he be given the freedom to select the recruitment locations. Many additional masons joined the Illuminati's Minerval grade after finding Knigge's depiction of the new masonic order appealing. At this point, Knigge seemed to respect the "Most Serene Superiors" Weishaupt said he served. To delay providing any assistance, Weishaupt assigned him an additional duty despite his embarrassing failure to explain anything about the upper degrees of the order. Because he was full of shit.   Knigge then created pamphlets documenting the actions of the illegal Jesuits, claiming to show how they continued to thrive and recruit, particularly in Bavaria, using material provided by Weishaupt. Finally, Knigge wrote to Weishaupt that his position was becoming damn near impossible because he couldn't offer his recruits any real answers to their question about the higher grades. Weishaupt finally broke down and admitted in January 1781 that his superiors and the purported antiquity of the order were bullshit and that the higher degrees had not yet been created as he faced the possibility of losing Knigge and his masonic recruits.   Knigge was unusually composed in response to Weishaupt's admittance, even though he was looking forward to learning the promised intricate Freemasonry secrets found in the upper degrees of the Illuminati. Weishaupt pledged to give Knigge complete creative control over the development of the higher degrees and to send him his own notes. Knigge, for his part, enjoyed the chance to express himself through the order. He asserted that his new strategy would increase the appeal of the Illuminati to potential members in Germany's Protestant counties. Knigge received a 50 florins advance from the Areopagus in November 1781 to travel to Bavaria, where he met and partied with fellow Illuminati members.   The order had now developed extensive internal divisions. In July 1780, the Eichstaedt command had formed an autonomous province, and a rift was growing between Weishaupt and the Areopagus. They found him stubborn, dictatorial, inconsistent, and obviously full of shit. As a result, Knigge was constantly thrown into the role of peacemaker.   In discussions with the Areopagus and Weishaupt, Knigge identified two problematic areas. First, Weishaupt's emphasis on recruiting university students meant that young men with little practical experience often had to fill senior positions in the order. Secondly, the anti-Jesuit ethos of the order at its inception had generally become anti-religious. Knigge knew it would be a problem recruiting the senior Freemasons that the order was looking to bring in. Knigge felt the stifling grip of conservative Catholicism in Bavaria and understood the anti-religious feelings that this produced in the liberal Illuminati. Still, he also saw the negative impression these feelings would provide in Protestant states, making the spread of the order in greater Germany much more difficult. The Areopagus and Weishaupt felt powerless to do anything less than give Knigge a free hand. He had the contacts within and outside of Freemasonry that they needed, and he had the skill as a ritualist to build their projected grade structure, where they had ground to a halt at Illuminatus Minor, with only the Minerval grade below and the merest sketches of higher grades. The only restrictions imposed were the need to discuss the inner secrets of the highest degrees and the necessity of submitting his new grades for approval.   Meanwhile, the scheme to propagate Illuminatism as a legitimate branch of Freemasonry had farted out. While Lodge Theodore was now in their control, a chapter of "Elect Masters" attached to it only had one member from the order and still had a constitutional superiority to the craft lodge controlled by the Illuminati. The chapter would be difficult to persuade to submit to the Areopagus and formed a real barrier to Lodge Theodore becoming the first mother-lodge of a new Illuminated Freemasonry. A treaty of alliance was signed between the order and the chapter, and by the end of January 1781, four daughter lodges had been created, but independence was not on the chapter's agenda.   Costanza wrote to the Royal York, pointing out the discrepancy between the fees dispatched to their new Grand Lodge and the returned service they had received. The Royal York, unwilling to lose the money they were bringing in, offered to confer Freemasonry's "higher" secrets on a representative that their Munich brethren would dispatch to Berlin. Accordingly, Costanza set off for Prussia on April 4, 1780, with instructions to negotiate a reduction in Theodore's fees while he was there. On the way, he argued with a Frenchman about a lady with whom they shared a carriage. The Frenchman sent a message ahead to the king sometime before they reached Berlin, calling Costanza a spy and having him arrested. He was only freed from prison with the help of the Grand Master of Royal York and was kicked out of Prussia, having accomplished fuck all.   Knigge's recruitment from German Freemasonry was far from random. He targeted the masters and wardens, the men who ran the lodges and were often able to place the entire club at the disposal of the Illuminati. For example, Baron de Witte, master of Constancy lodge in Aachen, caused every member to join the order. This way, the order expanded rapidly in central and southern Germany and obtained a foothold in Austria. Moving into the Spring of 1782, the handful of students who had started the order had swelled to about 300 members, with only 20 new recruits being students. In Munich, the first half of 1782 saw considerable changes in the government of Lodge Theodore. In February, Weishaupt had offered to split the lodge, with the Illuminati going their own way and the chapter taking any remaining traditionalists into their continuation of Theodore. At this point, the chapter unexpectedly surrendered, and the Illuminati had complete control of the lodge and chapter. In June, both club and chapter sent letters severing relations with Royal York, citing their faithfulness in paying for their recognition and Royal York's failure to provide any instruction in the higher grades. Their neglect of Costanza, and inability to defend him from negative charges or prevent his expulsion from Prussia, were also brought up. They had made no effort to provide Costanza with the promised secrets, and the Munich masons now suspected that their brethren in Berlin relied on the mystical French higher grades which they sought to avoid. Lodge Theodore was now independent.   The Rite of Strict Observance was now in a critical state. Its leader was Prince Carl of Södermanland (later Charles XIII (13th) of Sweden), openly suspected of trying to absorb the rite into the Swedish Rite, which he already controlled. The German lodges looked to Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel for leadership. However, suspicion turned to open contempt when Carl regarded the Stuart heir to the British throne as the true GrandMaster, and the lodges of the Strict Observance all but ignored their Grand Master. This bullshit led to the Convent of Wilhelmsbad.   The last Strict Observance convention, postponed since October 15, 1781, eventually began on July 16, 1782, at the spa town of Wilhelmsbad, which is located outside of (and now a part of) Hanau. The 35 participants in a discussion about the future of the order knew that the Strict Observance in its current form was doomed. Also, the Convent of Wilhelmsbad would be a battle over the pieces between the Martinists, led by Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, and the German mystics, led by Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and their host Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel. Only Franz Dietrich von Ditfurth, and Johann Joachim Christoph Bode, objected to mystical higher grades. Ditfurth actively advocated for a return to the fundamental three degrees of Freemasonry, which was the convention's least likely choice. The mystics had previously developed logical replacement plans for the higher degrees.   (Martinism is a type of arcane Christianity and Christian mysticism that is focused on the fall of the first man, his material seclusion from his spiritual source, and the process of his return, known as "Reintegration.")   The Illuminati were able to promote themselves as a viable option since there wasn't an effective alternative to the two schools of mysticism. Knigge, who now had complete authority to speak for the order, encouraged and helped Ditfurth, who took on the role of their spokesperson. Weishaupt rejected Knigge's initial proposal to form an alliance between the two orders because he didn't see the benefit of working with a dying order. His new strategy was to enlist the masons opposed to the higher degree of "Templar" Strict Observance.   At the convent, Ditfurth prevented Willermoz and Hesse from introducing their own higher grades by demanding that the delegates be informed in full of such degrees. Due to their frustration, the German mystics enrolled Count Kollowrat in the Illuminati as a later affiliate. With no claims to additional masonic revelations, Ditfurth's goal was to replace all higher degrees with a single fourth degree. He left the convent early after finding no support for his proposal and reported to the Areopagus that he had no hopes for the gathering.   In an attempt to satisfy everybody, the Convent of Wilhelmsbad didn't achieve shit. They renounced the Templar origins of their ritual while retaining the Templar titles, trappings, and administrative structure. Charles of Hesse and Ferdinand of Brunswick remained at the head of the order, but the lodges were almost independent in practice. The Germans adopted the name of the French order of Willermoz, Les Chevaliers Bienfaisants de la Cité Sainte (Good Knights of the Holy City). Some Martinist mysticism was imported into the first three degrees, now the only essential degrees of Freemasonry. Crucially, individual lodges of the order were now allowed to mingle with clubs of other systems. The new "Scottish Grade" introduced with the Lyon ritual of Willermoz was not mandatory. Each province and prefecture was free to decide what, if anything, happened after the three craft degrees. Finally, the convent regulated etiquette, titles, and a new numbering for the provinces to show that something had been achieved.   The Strict Observance was ended by the Convent of Wilhelmsbad. Along with the higher degrees that bound its most significant and influential members, it rejected its founding tale. It eliminated the rigorous regulations that had maintained the order's cohesion and alienated many Germans who did not trust Martinism. Martinism repulsed Bode, who immediately began negotiating with Knigge before joining the Illuminati in January 1783. The following month, Charles of Hesse joined.   Knigge's first efforts at an alliance with the intact German Grand Lodges failed, but Weishaupt persisted. He proposed a new federation where all German lodges would practice an agreed, unified system in the essential three degrees of Freemasonry and be left to their own devices as to which, if any, system of higher degrees they wished to pursue. This would be a federation of Grand Lodges, and members would be free to visit any of the "blue" lodges in any jurisdiction. All lodge masters would be elected, and no fees would be paid to any central authority. Groups of lodges would be subject to a "Scottish Directorate" composed of members delegated by lodges to audit finances, settle disputes and authorize new lodges. These, in turn, would elect Provincial Directorates, who would elect inspectors, who would elect the national director. This system would correct the current imbalance in German Freemasonry, where masonic ideals of equality were preserved only in the lower three "symbolic" degrees. The various methods of higher degrees were dominated by the elite who could afford research in alchemy and mysticism. To Weishaupt and Knigge, the proposed federation was also a vehicle to propagate Illuminism throughout German Freemasonry. Their intention was to use their new union, with its emphasis on the fundamental degrees, to remove all allegiance to Strict Observance, allowing the "eclectic" system of the Illuminati to take its place.   The newsletter announcing the new federation outlined the faults of German Freemasonry; unsuitable men with money were often admitted based on their wealth, and the corruption of civil society had infected the lodges. Having advocated the deregulation of the higher grades of the German lodges, the Illuminati now announced their own from their "unknown Superiors." Lodge Theodore, newly independent from Royal York, set itself up as a provincial Grand Lodge. In a letter to all the Royal York lodges, Knigge now accused the Grand Lodge of corruption. Their Freemasonry had allegedly been corrupted by the Jesuits. Strict Observance was now attacked as a creation of the Stuarts, devoid of all moral virtue. The Zinnendorf rite of the Grand Landlodge of the Freemasons of Germany was suspect because its author was in league with the Swedes. This direct attack had the opposite effect to that intended by Weishaupt. It offended many of its readers. The Grand Lodge of the Grand Orient of Warsaw, which controlled Freemasonry in Poland and Lithuania, was happy to participate in the federation only as far as the first three degrees. Their insistence on independence had kept them from the Strict Observance and would now keep them from the Illuminati, whose plan to annex Freemasonry rested on their own higher degrees. By the end of January 1783, the Illuminati's masonic party had seven lodges.   It wasn't just the clumsy appeal of the Illuminati that left the federation short of members. Lodge Theodore was recently formed and did not command respect like the older lodges. Most of all, the Freemasons most likely to be attracted to the federation, saw the Illuminati as an ally against the mystics and Martinists. Moreover, they valued their freedom too highly to be caught in another restrictive organization. Even Ditfurth, the supposed representative of the Illuminati at Wilhelmsbad, had pursued his own agenda at the convent.   The non-mystical Frankfurt lodges created an "Eclectic Alliance," was almost indistinguishable in structure from the Illuminati's federation. Far from seeing this as a threat, the Illuminati lodges joined the new alliance after some discussion. Three Illuminati now sat on the committee that wrote the new masonic statutes. Aside from strengthening relations between their three lodges, the Illuminati seem to have gained no advantage from this maneuver. Ditfurth, having founded a masonic organization that worked towards his ambitions for Freemasonry, took little interest in the Illuminati after he adhered to the Eclectic Alliance. In reality, the Eclectic Alliance's creation undermined the Illuminati's plans to spread their own ideologies through Freemasonry.   The final decline of the Illuminati was brought about by the indiscretions of their own Minervals in Bavaria, and especially in Munich. Despite efforts by their superiors to curb loose talk, politically dangerous boasts of power and criticism of monarchy caused the "secret" order's existence to become common knowledge, along with the names of many important members. The presence of the Illuminati in positions of power now led to some public unease. There were Illuminati in many civic and state governing bodies. Despite their small number, there were claims that success in a legal dispute depended on the person's standing with the order. In addition, the Illuminati were blamed for several anti-religious publications appearing in Bavaria. Much of this criticism sprang from vindictiveness and jealousy, but it is clear that many Illuminati court officials gave preferential treatment to their brethren. In Bavaria, the energy of their two members of the Ecclesiastical Council had one of them elected treasurer. Their opposition to Jesuits resulted in the banned order losing key academic and Church positions. In Ingolstadt, the Jesuit heads of departments were replaced by Illuminati.   Alarmed, Charles Theodore and his government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati. A government mandate dated March 2, 1785, "seems to have been a deathblow to the Illuminati in Bavaria." Weishaupt had fled. Documents and internal correspondence, seized in 1786 and 1787, were then published by the government in 1787. In addition, von Zwack's home was searched, and much of the group's literature was disclosed.   So, that was exhausting and supposedly all about the "real Illuminati," right? But, according to the www.illuminatiofficial.org website, this may not be the case.   "Since the formation of the Illuminati, many citizens have inaccurately portrayed our organization in a negative manner. These misconceptions have been perpetuated for centuries through videos, photos, articles, books, and unofficial online resources claiming to understand our mission and members. In creating this online destination, we strive to alleviate the concerns voiced by the people of this planet and provide insight into our goals and operations."   "Their Purpose"   "Ensuring the survival of over 7 billion humans is a daunting task. Our duty to this planet has spanned across centuries and survived even the most established government entities. To continue functioning throughout societal and generational changes, The Illuminati's operations often require anonymity for both our members and our work. In 2013, the Illuminati authorized the formation of the Department Of Citizen Outreach. Through various initiatives and campaigns, including this website, the modern Illuminati has committed itself to furthering our relationship with our citizens.You may not find us praised in any history book or document. However, the Illuminati has helped with every major movement on this planet since the first human government was established. Our work is often marked by distinct symbols as a means of tracing our influence through history for those wishing to investigate. With gentle guidance from our organization, the human species is allowed to function in their natural order while playing the part of gears in a machine for the betterment of the world."   Also, according to their website, they discuss the symbols of their cult… I mean organization.    "THE PYRAMID   In popular culture, a great amount of focus is placed on the Illuminati's belief that money is not evil. Some view our encouragement of work and wealth as a promotion of selfishness – overlooking the true meaning of the Pyramid and its underlying messages that motivate our diligence. In the tenets of the Illuminati, wealth is not simply a means of personal enrichment. Instead, money is a tool that can be used to fulfill each person's duty to the advancement of the human species. The selfish pursuit of money is a hollow goal, but the pursuit of the goodness that money can create is one of humanity's greatest responsibilities. The more money a person owns, the more ability they have to positively change the lives of those who are in need. If you are poor and of good heart, and your friend's house is burned in a fire, you will remain a good person but have no ability to help them with what they need the most. If the same house burns but you are rich, you can give your friend a place to stay and a new home because you have more than enough for yourself and anyone around you who needs it. Money has no feeling, no voice, and no soul – its choice between good or evil is decided by those who use it. Though it is not wrong to be poor, the celebration of poverty is rooted in selfishness. A person who is poor can save a life, but a person who is rich can build a hospital and save ten thousand. The poor can do little to help the poor, but the rich can help as many as they are able. If a person is rich, they have the opportunity to do good, but if they are poor they are unable to help anyone but themselves. Those with little can still do much. Money is merely paper and numbers that are traded for a person's time and effort. Therefore if a person does not have money, they can instead use their time and efforts to further the advancement of humanity – positive actions that are of equal value to any charitable donations. The greater a person's fortune, the greater their responsibility to their fellow humans. Like the Pyramid, those with the greatest power can do the greatest good for the largest number of those below them."   "THE EYE We Are Always Watching Out For You   The human species is guarded and preserved by a coalition of its most elite members called the Illuminati. Since our origination, Illuminati members have guided Earth's most dominant creature through periods of interpersonal chaos, environmental outbreaks, and other mass attacks that threaten humanity with extinction. The human has made itself this planet's most dominant and advanced species. Even the weakest human is born master of the strongest of all other species on Earth. Through natural selection, every human generation is made of a genetic structure that is stronger and more advanced than the previous. Living humans evolve at a rapid pace, and can continue to advance in ability through study, practice, and a commitment to self-improvement. As a human absorbs knowledge and wisdom, some will experience their Awakening: a pivotal moment when their minds evolve to a level of understanding that is higher than the majority. They begin to see themselves as strings in a universal tapestry with a duty to uplift their fellow humans, and quickly understand the inner workings of wealth, power, and authority. Those who have experienced their Awakening often describe it as the moment their Eye was opened. The Illuminati is made of individuals who have reached this Awakening. Leaders, innovators, and other influential members of this planet have joined together to shape the face of human society and guide its masses into finding their own individual place in the Universal Design. To create a better world, unique beings with unique objectives and beliefs must forgo their differences and work together for the good of all. Progress requires cooperation. Humans must suppress their natural defensive selfishness and aid others who appear, believe, or act in ways that are different from themselves. Unfortunately, many humans are only concerned with their own wellbeing and thus cannot understand the positive intentions of a higher authority. Many would rather this planet remain in turmoil instead of following the directions that will lead them to happiness. Historically, the greatest enemies of human progression have been humans themselves. For this reason, those who have experienced their Awakening understand the need for it to remain secret – for their own safety and the ultimate good of a humanity that often does not know what is best for it. It is the Illuminati's responsibility to ensure the ongoing survival and advancement of the human species, so that all people, in all places, can live in Abundance."   "THE LIGHT Follow The Light   Every human is guided by an inner compass that points toward the Light, revealing truth and direction when facing decisions. Given many names by spiritual leaders and unexplainable by science, the Light is an invisible guide that many believe has led them to joy, success, and lives of Abundance. It communicates directly to every human, urging them to strive for goodness and forgo their natural selfishness. All human religions and spiritual beliefs ultimately seek the Light in ways differing only in form and function. Some religions refer to the Light with a name, such as God or Elohim. The core of every religion is founded on the human species' innate desire to understand this invisible force. Even without a formal religious affiliation, every human is naturally drawn to the Light. Individual members of the Illuminati adhere to every variety of personal spiritual beliefs –– but by recognizing that all of our paths lead to the same destination, we find that the Light brings all people into an ultimate unity. There is no proof that a God exists but there is also no proof that a God does not. The Illuminati's spiritual foundation is based upon this universal conundrum of faith and doubt. Our organization does not question whether a god does or does not exist but instead focuses on the betterment of the humans living on this planet. Though the human mind in its physical form is not capable of fully understanding the Light, conscious thought and intention reveal many of its inner workings and effects. By studying the wisdom of this planet's greatest minds, humans can discover ways to increase the Light's powerful influence in their lives. The Light, under many names, has been attributed to supernatural changes in the physical realm, including increases in wealth, power, prestige, health, and happiness. Miracles, attraction, and the belief in unseen powers that can alter the physical world have some basis in truth. Though scientific advancements have explored both this planet's environment and the inner workings of the human mind, there are still countless mysteries that remain unsolved. Thus many occurrences that are attributed to the supernatural are merely the result of the human mind processing a concept it cannot explain naturally. Some humans attempt to form a deeper connection with the Light through rituals that have been passed down for centuries. Though these ceremonies often involve complicated steps and requirements, their true effect is not found in their directions or decorations but rather in the state of mind that results within its participants. Many of the Illuminati's traditions include rituals and oaths designed to explain higher concepts, and use the power of focused repetition to strengthen the ability of the human consciousness. The Illuminati prohibits rituals that include human or animal sacrifice. Learn More. A desire to understand the Light is an integral part of the path to illumination. By rising through the levels of illumination, Illuminati members discover more about their world and the true power that hides within their minds. Whatever you seek, whatever you dream, whatever you hope: all is possible if you follow the Light."   "THE ETERNAL CIRCLE Every human is one part of a larger, eternal design – individual gears in a clock that has no end.   Your actions have the power to alter the future of the entire world. Though you may not fully understand your purpose, your part is just as important as the greatest kings and queens of this planet. Some feel as though their temporary lack of wealth or influence makes them powerless to create change. But does a clockmaker favor the larger gears over the smaller? Does the hour hand become jealous of the minutes because it turns slower? Every part has a role in the functioning of a timepiece. Every part supports those around it in ways it may never see. Your absence would undo the order of our universe, even if you do not realize your importance. The world began before you and will continue after you, but it will be different because of the decisions you made. Every generation inherits the world left by the one before it, just as a king inherits the crown of his father. Your pursuit of wisdom and goodness could lay the foundation for your great-great-grandchild's rise into power – the same descendant who might steer a country from war and save lives by the millions. Did the ancestors of Aristotle or Alexander The Great know who their actions would create? Though you will never understand the full influence of your actions, the results of your dedication to humanity are still yours to claim. As you climb the great Pyramid seeking the Light at its top, you will look down and see that you are an integral part of our universe's most intricate mechanism. Though our human members may perish and fade into the annals of time, the Illuminati will continue to stand into eternity."   Why a secret society? "Freedom is an idol of the human species. The Illuminati operates in defense of you and all humans, in all places, and of all generations. Our duty to this planet has spanned across centuries and survived even the most established government entities. But the cultivation of trillions of human lives is a daunting responsibility, and while the human would not exist today without our protection, many uninformed masses mistake our guidance for a restriction of liberty. Every human desires to be free of oppression, free of hardship, free of poverty, free of hunger, free of rules and laws — but as you understand, the nature of your species leaves true freedom impossible. Are you free to murder? Are you free to steal? Are others free to murder and steal from you? Or are there certain freedoms that must be given up for the benefit of all? For happiness, the human desires freedom; for prosperity, the human requires leadership. This is the reason behind our anonymity. To continue functioning throughout societal changes and generational differences, the Illuminati must remain behind the curtain — an outsider, belonging to none and loyal to all. You may never understand how your life can be free while guided by our organization. You may never fully comprehend our purpose and why you are safest and happiest with us. Simply open your mind and release your apprehensions, and you will find the relief of truth. We will never take your hand and pull you down the path like a slave to our whims. You must find and travel the road on your own. But your quality of life is our greatest concern, and the reason our symbols are placed in your society as a map for you to follow if you desire."   What about the modern-day "Illuminati" or "New World Order?"   According to an article from theweek.co.uk, In a 2017 interview with the BBC, David Bramwell, "a man who has dedicated himself to documenting the origins of the myth," said the modern-day Illuminati legend was influenced not by Weishaupt but rather by LSD, the 1960s counter-culture, and specifically a text called Principia Discordia. The book praised an alternative belief system – Discordianism – which preached a form of anarchism and gave birth to the Discordian movement, which ultimately wished to cause civil disobedience through practical jokes and hoaxes. One of the leading proponents of this new ideology was a writer called Robert Anton Wilson, who wanted to bring chaos back into society by "disseminating misinformation through all portals – through counter-culture, through the mainstream media," claims Bramwell. He did this by sending fake letters to the men's magazine Playboy, where he worked, attributing cover-ups and conspiracy theories, such as the JFK assassination, to a secret elite organization called the Illuminati. Wilson turned these theories into a book, The Illuminatus Trilogy, which became a surprise cult success and was even made into a stage play in Liverpool, launching the careers of British actors Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent. What is the New World Order? The idea of a powerful modern Illuminati conspiring to rule the world remained a niche belief a handful of enthusiasts upheld until the 1990s.   The internet changed all that, giving conspiracy theorists a global platform to perpetuate their beliefs and present their evidence to a massive audience. Theories about how the New World Order operates run from relatively straightforward ideas to the outright bizarre. Conspiracy theorists obsessively analyze public events for "evidence" of Illuminati influence. The symbols most associated with the Illuminati include triangles, pentagrams, goats, the all-seeing eye – such as the one that appears on U.S. banknotes - and the number 666. This has led to claims some of the American Founding Fathers were members, with Thomas Jefferson accused in the aftermath of the War of Independence. Another commonly cited Illuminati symbol, which appears on U.S. currency, is the so-called Eye of Providence, which is said to represent the omniscience of God watching over humanity. According to a 2013 survey by Public Policy Polling, 28% of U.S. voters believe that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian global government. In addition, it found that 34% of Republicans and 35% of independents believe in the New World Order threat compared to just 15% of Democrats. Who is supposedly a member? As well as being king and queen of the charts, Beyonce and Jay-Z are frequently depicted as lords of the New World Order. Beyonce's immense fame and popularity have long made her a favorite target for conspiracy theorists. Illuminati "experts" seized upon her half-time performance at the 2013 Super Bowl as an example of her "devil-worshipping" choreography, even accusing her on-stage alter ego Sasha Fierce of being a "demonic entity." However, some musicians enjoy deliberately playing with symbols connected to secret societies. For instance, Rihanna frequently incorporates Illuminati images into her music videos and even joked about the theories in the video for S&M, which featured a fake newspaper with a headline declaring her "Princess of the Illuminati." Jay Z has also been accused of hiding secret symbols such as goat imagery and devil horns in his music videos. But, most damningly, the logo for his music label, Roc-A-Fella Records, is a pyramid – one of the most well-known Illuminati logos. Rob Brotherton, a professor at Barnard College and author of Suspicious Minds: Why We Believe in Conspiracy Theories, explains that real-life government conspiracies targeting black people in America, such as FBI infiltration of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, planted the seeds for Illuminati theory's popularity among hip-hop artists and fans.   Speaking to Complex, he said: "Hip-hop served as this [soapbox] for people to talk about issues that were relevant to them, things like discrimination, poverty, the criminal justice system, which are often seemingly slanted against African-Americans". "It's a short leap to go from noticing some kind of injustice to thinking about whether there's something behind it. Hip-hop was just a good candidate to revive this myth," he says. What do celebrities have to say about the theories? Katy Perry told Rolling Stone in 2014 that the theory was the preserve of "weird people on the internet" but admitted she was flattered to be named among the supposed members: "I guess you've kind of made it when they think you're in the Illuminati!" However, she added she was tolerant of people who wanted to believe in the theory because: "I believe in aliens." On the other hand, Madonna might just be a believer – all the more interesting given that she has frequently been accused of being a member herself. Speaking to Rolling Stone, she hinted that she had secret knowledge of the group. The claim is not so shocking given that she released a single titled 'Illuminati.' She said: "People often accuse me of being a member of the Illuminati, but the thing is, I know who the real Illuminati are." In 2016, Beyonce thrilled her fans by unexpectedly releasing a new single, Formation, in February ­– but conspiracy theorists were excited for another reason. The very first line of the track acknowledged the rumors: "Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess." When Prince died suddenly of an accidental overdose in April of the same year, a small but vocal corner of the internet accused the Illuminati of killing the singer-songwriter, who was famous for fiercely protecting his copyrights and artistic freedom from industry interference. "The Illuminati talk won't stop coming and what doesn't help is that Prince himself seems to have been genuinely convinced that the organisation existed," reports one gossip website. In 2009, the singer appeared on T.V. to warn of influential mystery figures controlling the world through "chemtrails" – chemicals pumped into the air via jet planes to manipulate human behavior.   Some other conspiracies are . The Illuminati killed Paul Walker. After starring in 7 films in the Fast and Furious franchise, Paul Walker fans were shocked by his ironic death in 2013. He was the passenger in a Porsche that careened out of control and crashed into a pole — or so the media said. But if you ask conspiracy theorists, the Illuminati is actually to blame. According to the YouTuber known as Shane, the Illuminati murdered Walker after he threatened to expose the group. The story goes that Walker was involved in charity work when he came across a bunch of wrongdoings like embezzlement behind the scenes that he wanted to go public with. But, of course, the Illuminati couldn't let that happen and took him out via drone strike.   The Illuminati killed JFK. History buffs know JFK died after being shot twice by Lee Harvey Oswald, but many people aren't convinced. According to TIME, 70% of Americans believe the assassination is part of something way bigger… So did the Illuminati have something to do with it? According to The Conspiracy Zone, the answer is ABSO FUCKIN LUTELY. Their evidence is fascinating: JFK was shot in a triangle. ‘John Kennedy' has 11 letters in it. The assassination date (11/22/63) includes multiples of 11. His limo was traveling 11 miles an hour… the list goes on.  Why would the Illuminati want JFK dead? Apparently, JFK planned on bringing U.S. troops home from Vietnam and wanted to end the Federal Reserve to end the national debt, which would take away the Illuminati's control over the country. He was killed just days after replacing Federal Reserve Notes. Conspiracy theorists have pointed to audio from the day of his assassination that proves there was more than one shooter, as well as a bullet trajectory that doesn't match that of Oswald's position.   Kesha's song ‘Die Young' is an Illuminati anthem.   Theorists say Kesha's music also addresses the secret society, whose symbols abound in her early music videos. Take, for example, the video for ‘Die Young:  The Illuminati symbolism is so blatant that even Billboard called it out, referencing the numerous triangles, an upside-down cross, and all-seeing one eye. The video even begins with a flashing skull and crossbones. According to conspiracy theorist The Vigilant Citizen, “Illuminati symbols are becoming more prevalent because that was the plan all along: To gradually make them part of popular culture.” Oh boy.   Lady Gaga is an “Illuminati puppet.” Lady Gaga is another pop star rumored to be part of the Illuminati. Again, theorists call out the overt symbolism in her videos and persona, calling it a “tribute to mind control.” They say her stage name ‘Gaga' refers to being totally absent-minded, which can be achieved through mind control. Furthermore, in her early days, many of her videos were rife with triangles and all-seeing eye symbolism. However, some say her newest project proves that she's broken free from the Illuminati. After a little hiatus, she boasts a more subdued, realistic image and more meaningful, artistic music. So, then, why didn't they just kill her? In an appearance at Harvard, Gaga talked about how unhappy she was in the entertainment industry. She calls herself a ‘Stefanie/Gaga hybrid,' which Illuminati theorists saw as proof that she became an alternate, demonic personality under Illuminati control. She also says she disliked “being used to make people money,” another potential dig as being an “Illuminati puppet.”   Donald Trump is an Illuminati mind controller.   If all of these stars are under Illuminati mind control, who's doing the controlling? Aside from alleged Illuminati king Jay-Z, Donald Trump's hand signals reveal his status as a top Illuminati member. While using your hands when you talk is normal, conspiracy theorists say Trump's rather odd gestures are secret messages. The classic “a-ok” symbol apparently means the devil's number ‘666.' However, he also frequently makes the triangle symbol with his hands when he's at ease — which could be the same Illuminati gesture Jay-Z always makes or a reference to the vagina.    The Kanye West/Kim Kardashian/Taylor Swift feud was fabricated by the Illuminati. Apparently, when West humiliated Swift on stage at the 2009 VMAs, he welcomed her to the Illuminati.   As we know, they've managed to keep the feud in the media for years. While most people have begun to agree that anything these people do is just for publicity, according to The Vigilant Citizen, it's actually an Illuminati “psychological operation” aimed at kids “to precondition them to start believing in fabricated events.”   OK, lastly, let's talk about the lizard Illuminati. David Icke, the nut job conspiracy theorist, is the leading proponent of this theory.  This should explain it from an article on Time.com,    They are among us. Blood-drinking, flesh-eating, shape-shifting extraterrestrial reptilian humanoids with only one objective in their cold-blooded little heads: to enslave the human race. They are our leaders, corporate executives, beloved Oscar-winning actors, and Grammy-winning singers. They're responsible for the Holocaust, the Oklahoma City bombings, and the 9/11 attacks ... at least according to former BBC sports reporter David Icke, who became the poster human for the theory in 1998 after publishing his first book, The Biggest Secret, which contained interviews with two Brits who claimed members of the royal family are nothing more than reptiles with crowns. (Picture Dracula meets Swamp Thing).  The conspiracy theorist and New Age philosopher, who wore only turquoise for a time and insisted on being called Son of God-Head, says these "Annunaki" (the reptiles) have controlled humankind since ancient times; they count among their number Queen Elizabeth, George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Bob Hope. Encroaching other conspiracy theorists' territory, Icke even claims that the lizards are behind secret societies like the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Since earning the dubious title of "paranoid of the decade" in the late 1990s, Icke has written several books on the topic, including his latest work, The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy, while operating his own website — complete with merchandise and advertisements.

Après cette journée du 12 août où le dégoût et la colère nous donnèrent un goût de sang dans la bouche, toutes nos pensées ne cessent de se porter sur Salman Rushdie. Et sur toutes celles et ceux qui (sur)vivent sous protection, parce que des fanatiques sans foi ni loi ont appelé à leur mort par tous les moyens. Alors puisque nous sommes une radio, une webradio, concentrée sur les sujets qui touchent l'humanité et ses valeurs universelles, parce que la vie des humains nous importe comme la prunelle de chacun de nos yeux, nous avons décidé d'organiser un direct au format « La parole circule » demain, dimanche 14 août à 11h, suite à cette attaque autant odieuse que lâche, contre Salman Rushdie et juste après l'émission Pierres de touche de la GLMF qui lui est dédiée. Il s'agit de réagir à ce nouvel attentat et alors même que Salman Rushdie avait fini par décider d'abaisser un peu la garde, l'Iran lui-même ayant semblé s'être calmé sur l'écrivain. Quelles leçons tirer, que dire, et ne pas dire, que faire et que ne pas faire, nos 7 invités débattront librement autour de cette douloureuse thématique, pendant 1 heure, voir davantage si nécessaire. Nos invités : - Philippe Foussier, ancien Grand Maître du Grand Orient de France ; - Nicolas Pomiès, dirigeant mutualiste, membre du bureau National de l'Union des Familles Laïques, rédacteur en chef d'ufal INFO et secrétaire de rédaction de Cause Républicaine - Pierre Yana, Maître de conférences honoraire université de Lille, littérature française. - Élodie Jauneau, historienne, féministe et militante politique, - Pierre Juston, Doctorant en droit et spécialiste des questions de laïcité, - Claire Donzel, militante laïque, féministe, - Igor Salomon, chroniqueur et concepteur de plusieurs émissions sur RadioDelta, consultant en veille sociétale et influence.

Ce soir du 24 septembre, nous avions décidé de nous pencher sur le pourquoi de la présence des obédiences françaises à l'étranger. Cette question, chaque franc-maçonne et chaque franc-maçon se la pose un jour. Pas forcément le soir de son initiation mais à l'occasion de rencontres, de discours de représentants de son obédience, lors de « grandes messes » où des délégations étrangères viennent participer aux événements forts de l'obédience – en particulier aux Convents et autres fêtes de l'ordre. Les jeunes francs-maçons se disent alors : quelle belle manifestation de l'universalité de la franc-maçonnerie ! quelle belle illustration de cet idéal de fraternité transcendant les cultes, les cultures et les frontières étatiques tandis que certaines et certains, peut-être plus âgés se demandent : mais à quoi ça sert tout ce cirque ? quel gaspillage d'argent ? Qu'est que la franc-maçonnerie vient faire à l'étranger ? On se croirait à Yalta ? Alors cette question, nous l'avons posée aux représentants des principales obédiences françaises qui répondirent présent à notre invitation. Qu'ils en soient remerciés : - Patrick Meneghetti, Assistant Grand Maître de la Grande Loge Nationale Française (GLNF) - Jean-Pascal Engler, Passé Grand Chancelier de la Grande Loge de France et Président du Conseil diplomatique de la GL (GLDF) - Christiane Vienne, Grand Maître de la Grande Loge mixte de France (GLMF) - Régina Toutin, Grande Loge Féminine de France (GLFF) - Claudette Clavel, Grand Maître adjoint de l'Ordre Maçonnique Mixte International Le Droit Humain (DH) - Patrick Avram, Grand Chancelier de la Grande Loge de l'Alliance Maçonnique Française (GLAMF) Nos avions également invité le grand Orient de France à participer à cette émission, mais le représentant du Grand Orient a eu un empêchement de dernière minute, ne lui ayant finalement pas permis de se joindre à nous. Une émission conçue, préparée et animée par Philippe Benhamou avec nos chroniqueuses et chroniqueurs du jour : Marie-Françoise Blanchet qui nous parla de la richesse du multi-rites, Igor Selektor, qui lut le monde à travers les yeux de l'autre, Alex, revint sur cet été qui fût à ses yeux, un sacré été !

Au programme de cette première émission de la deuxième saison de Pierres de touche: De quoi sommes-nous les Bâtisseurs, au regard de la longue histoire de l’humanité à laquelle nous nous rattachons ? C'est une des questions que nous aborderons dimanche. Egalement au programme : le Brexit, Une nouvelle série autour de la fin de la série sur Salomon et Hiram de Tyr, mais aussi les mémoires de Pierre Nora et le portrait d’Annie Besant. Le portrait de la franc-maçonne célèbre proposé par Marie-Josée Freling et Gaspard-Hubert Lonsi-Koko ce dimanche est dédié à Annie Besant. Avec Claire Donzel, nous avons rencontré cette semaine Olivier Lefebur, frère de la Grande Loge Mixte de France. Voici son témoignage, illustré par une des chansons qu’il a composée. Alors que « Pierres de touche » célèbre sa première année d’existence, l’on ne peut que se réjouir du chemin parcouru, au fil des réflexions et des échanges qui ont alimenté ce rendez-vous hebdomadaire et constater dans le même temps, combien les défis sont immenses pour qui entend bâtir un monde meilleur, plus juste et plus tolérant. Mais au-delà de ce qui représente l’un des Devoirs de tout Franc-Maçon, de quoi sommes-nous les Bâtisseurs, au regard de la longue histoire de l’humanité à laquelle nous nous rattachons ? Alain VORDONIS nous invite à réfléchir à cette vaste question qui remet en perspective l’action de chacun. Cette chronique était illustrée par Patrick Bruel et Patrick Fiori qui interprétaient Corsica – un chant polyphonique corse de Petru Guelfucci. Michel Baron nous propose le troisième et dernier opus de sa série psycho-philo sur Hiram de Tyr et Salomon à la lumière de l’histoire antique. Écoutons Michel Baron. Myfanwy Thomas nous propose ce matin, le deuxième et dernier épisode de sa série sur le Brexit et la Grande Bretagne. Une série dans laquelle elle s’attache à remettre en perspective des faits historiques souvent méconnus des Français. Chronique illustrée par le titre Brexit de Julien Clerc. Nouvelle chronique Idées de Pierre Yana : aujourd’hui, Pierre Nora et ses mémoires intitulés Jeunesse, ainsi que le dernier ouvrage de Jacques Julliard. Un peu en écho à la série de Myfanwy Thomas, Christiane Vienne dans une nouvelle chronique internationale revient sur le Brexit et sur les relations entre la Grande-Bretagne et l’Irlande. Pour illustrer la chronique de Christiane Vienne, la Ballade du nord-irlandaise de Renaud. Enfin, pour clôturer cette émission, nous avons souhaité rediffuser la chronique Idées de Pierre Yana diffusée lors de l’émission 44. En effet, alors que des militaires ont signé la semaine dernière une tribune appelant à l’insurrection et alors qu’hier trois personnes ont été arrêtées parce qu’elles préparaient un attentat visant une loge maçonnique et le passé Grand Maître du Grand Orient – à qui nous apportons notre soutien fraternel – il nous apparaît utile de revenir sur le recours à la guerre civile que prône l’extrême-droite, comme le démontre Guillaume Barrera dans son récent ouvrage. Écoutons la recension que nous propose Pierre Yana… Nous nous quittons avec Charles Aznavour en duo avec Zaz, J’aime Paris au mois de mai. À la semaine prochaine !

Six jeunes de Talataye, localité entre Gao et Ménaka, ont été enterrés hier après avoir été frappés depuis les airs, ont rapporté ces notables. Le maire de cette localité affirme à l’Agence France presse qu’il s'agissait « d'un groupe de jeunes, dont des mineurs, qui ont décidé de passer la journée en dehors du village de Talataye à bord de trois motos et armés d'un fusil de chasse, pour tirer des lapins et des perdrix (…) Quatre avaient moins de 16 ans, deux entre 18 et 20 ans », a-t-il dit à l’AFP. « Après une phase de renseignement et d'identification ayant permis de caractériser la présence et le regroupement de groupes armés terroristes, Barkhane a "procédé à une frappe neutralisant" un tel groupe », communique Barkhane, via la même agence de presse, indiquant que « trois motos ont été détruites ». Dans la presse, pour l’heure, seul le site Africa News relaie l’information, en soulignant que « les versions se contredisent », mais en signalant d’un titre que « l’armée française (est) accusée d’avoir tué six chasseurs ». En Côte d’Ivoire, deuxième jour aujourd’hui du procès d’Amadé Ouérémi devant le tribunal criminel d’Abidjan : Ce trafiquant de l’ouest ivoirien est accusé d’être l’un des artisans du massacre du quartier Carrefour de Duékoué les 28 et 29 mars 2011 au cours duquel 817 personnes avaient été tuées lors de la prise de la ville par les forces pro-Ouattara. C’est le procès du « Ouérémi gate », lance en Une le quotidien indépendant L’Inter, en référence au scandale du Watergate, qui avait, en son temps, entrainé la chute du président Richard Nixon aux États-Unis. Quotidien gouvernemental, Fraternité Matin signale qu’au cours de l’audience d’hier, Amadé Ouérémi a été « accablé par des témoins ». Cité par Frat Mat, l’un d’eux a dit à la barre que le prévenu, ce jour-là, était « au-devant et donnait des ordres à ses gars de tuer » et que c’était lui « qui était le chef ». Manifestement, Notre Voie est tout sauf convaincu. « Qui est l’auteur des 817 morts en une journée ? », s’interroge la Une de ce journal proche du FPI. « Le chef rebelle refuse d’être le mouton du sacrifice », formule Notre Voie. Au Burkina Faso voisin, le journal Le Pays n’écrit pas autre chose. Selon ce quotidien ouagalais, le fait que ce milicien « soit seul à comparaître dans cette affaire de tuerie à grande échelle (…) ne manque pas d’interroger ». Et Le Pays n’en démord pas, « il serait regrettable que ce redoutable chétif combattant qui répond à son profil de tueur impitoyable, serve finalement de mouton de sacrifice dans cette crise post-électorale qui est loin d’avoir livré tous ses secrets », énonce-t-il. L’alliance ivoirienne d’opposition PDCI-EDS a été reçue la semaine dernière à Paris par le Grand Maître du Grand Orient de France, la principale obédience maçonnique française :  Selon le site Mondafrique, « les responsables des deux plus grands partis d’opposition en Côte d’Ivoire ont été reçus, le mercredi 17 mars, au siège du Grand Orient rue Cadet à Paris ». Ce journal en ligne estime que « cette rencontre des francs-maçons avec les mouvements des anciens présidents Bédié et Gbagbo témoigne de l’écho rencontré désormais par l’opposition ivoirienne à Paris ». Mondafrique souligne que Georges Serignac, éluen janvier dernier à la tête du Grand Orient de France, « passe pour souhaiter ouvrir son obédience au vent du large, notamment en direction de l’Afrique de l’Ouest francophone ». Ce site remarque que, « dès son intronisation, le patron du GODF a plaidé pour une "ouverture sur l’extérieur" de la principale obédience maçonnique de France, dans un moment charnière de crise sanitaire et d’élaboration d’un "monde d’après" ». Après quoi ? Selon Mondafrique, « le régime ivoirien, miné par ses frasques financières et sa répression féroce, est désormais vulnérable ».

Genre, désobéissance, vérité, mais aussi vos chroniques hebdomadaires psycho-philo, chronique internationales, le coup de cœur littéraire, le djihad ou encore l’engagement sociétal et maçonnique. Conception & animation: Élise Ovart Baratte Production: Gilles Saulière - RadioDelta Le portrait du franc-maçon célèbre est consacré aujourd’hui au Chevalier Charles d’Eon, originaire de Tonnerre en Bourgogne. Cette personne, initiée à la franc-maçonnerie, est connue pour son goût du travestissement. Écoutons son portrait proposé par Marie-Josée Freling et Gaspard-Hubert Lonsi Koko. Avec Claire Donzel, nous avons rencontré cette semaine Christian, franc-maçon français, membre d’une loge du Grand Orient de France à Genève. Christian est particulièrement impliqué dans la société civile. Pour illustrer ce témoignage enregistré en mars, une chanson qui décrit bien le cheminement vers la franc-maçonnerie, Les eaux de Mars de Georges Moustaki. Après avoir décrit lors d’une précédente chronique ce que le concept de Vérité a pu inspirer aux hommes depuis la plus haute Antiquité, nous plaçant progressivement face à nous-mêmes, Alain Vordonis tente aujourd’hui de nous éclairer sur la recherche de la Vérité, telle que les Francs-Maçons l’entendent. Qu’a-t-elle de si singulier qu’il nous faille engager un long et interminable travail pour la découvrir là où on ne l’attend pas forcément. Écoutons le second volet de Veritas, Veritatum, intitulé : « A la recherche de la Vérité ». Christiane Vienne a souhaité nous présenter l’association Bioéthique et Liberté, association créée sous l’impulsion de la G.L.M.F. et qui travaille sur les questions bioéthiques comme son nom l’indique. Chaque année, elle organise un colloque dont les actes sont publiés. Il y a quelques semaines sont parus les actes retraçant le colloque sur le genre, cette revue est disponible à l’obédience. La désobéissance est-elle un devoir maçonnique dans certains cas ? C’est la question que se pose Myfanwy Thomas dans une chronique qui donne à réfléchir sur la désobéissance civile… Et maintenant, place à la nouvelle série psycho-philo de Michel Baron. Une série qui a pour titre « Mais qu’est ce qu’il leur passe par la tête ? ». Chronique illustrée par En surface, une chanson interprétée par Etienne Daho et Dominique A. Pierre Yana nous propose le deuxième opus d’une série consacrée au dernier ouvrage de Gilles Kepel, Le prophète et La pandémie. Aujourd’hui, il est question des nouvelles formes du djihad… Nombre de Japonais ont manifestement mal supporté l’isolement lié à la pandémie. Ainsi, le nombre de suicides s’est fortement accru l’an dernier sur l’archipel. Et beaucoup de Japonais ont eu recours à Charlie… C’est ce dont Christiane Vienne a choisi de nous parler dans cette chronique internationale intitulée « le ministère japonais de la solitude ». Chronique illustrée par Ultra moderne solitude, titre d’Alain Souchon. Pour terminer cette émission, nouveau coup de cœur littéraire de Françoise Lacout. Elle propose cette semaine une recension de l’ouvrage de la philosophe Corinne Pelluchon, ouvrage qui s’intitule Réparons le monde. Humains, animaux, nature. Nous nous quittons avec Get lucky, titre du groupe français DAft Punk, interprété avec Pharell Williams. Belle semaine à vous tous !

von Prof. Dr. Hans-Hermann Höhmann, Professor für Sozialwissenschaften und Redner der Großloge AFuAM von Deutschland Corona bedrückt uns, als Menschen, als Mitglieder unserer Familien, als Freunde und als Freimaurer. Unser Bund kann in der gegenwärtigen Phase der Pandemie kaum von persönlicher Begegnung leben. Doch wir können über Freimaurerei nachdenken und unser Wissen und Verständnis für die Zeiten weiterentwickeln, von denen wir hoffen, dass sie bald wiederkehren und uns erlauben, Freimaurerei im Inneren des Bundes und in der Gesellschaft in menschlichem Miteinander wirkungskräftig zu gestalten. Einem solchen Nachdenken sollen die folgenden Ausführungen dienen. Historische Dimensionen Freimaurerei ist ein Produkt der Moderne. Sie entstand – Entwicklungsanstöße und Strukturmaterial aus der älteren Geschichte aufnehmend – zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts und blickt inzwischen auf eine Entwicklung von fast 300 Jahren zurück. In dieser Zeitspanne ist die Freimaurerei von unterschiedlicher kultureller, gesellschaftlicher und politischer Bedeutung gewesen. Sie konstituierte sich als verschwiegene, ja geheime Verbindung, denn in den bestehenden ständisch-absolutistischen Strukturen neue Formen sozialer Einbindung zu suchen, veränderte Zugänge zu religiösen Erfahrungen zu erproben und kritische philosophische Diskurse zu führen, bedurfte eines schützenden Mediums. Um eine Feststellung Reinhart Kosellecks zu variieren: Das „Geheimnis der Freiheit“ war nur als „Freiheit im Geheimen“ zu antizipieren. Zugleich wies die Freimaurerei in diesen drei Jahrhunderten sehr unterschiedliche Strukturen auf: in Bezug auf ihre Rituale, Systeme und Grade, in bezug auf die Organisation von Logen und Großlogen sowie in Bezug auf ihr Selbstverständnis und ihre Funktion innerhalb der sie umgebenden Gesellschaft. Die Entwicklung der Moderne fand ihren Ausdruck in der Entwicklung der Freimaurerei, deren „Modernisierung“ allerdings ebenfalls nicht gleichförmig verlief. Sie war vielmehr vielschichtig, wechselhaft und oft widersprüchlich. Phasen von Modernisierung und Gegenströmungen dazu lösten sich ab, ja zu regelrechten historisch-gesellschaftlichen „Lagerwechseln“ ist es gekommen. Die Geschichte der Freimaurerei ist immer die Geschichte ihrer Veränderungen gewesen, die sich teilweise „von unten“, aus den Logen heraus, evolutionär und allmählich, nach Orten und Systemen differenziert vollzogen, teilweise aber auch historisch gebündelt, im Kontext gesellschaftlich-politischer Veränderungen, in Schüben größerer und kleinerer Reformen erfolgten. In Deutschland kam es vor allem in der Mitte und im späten 18. sowie an der Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert zu bedeutenden Veränderungsprozessen, als nach der Dominanz der „Strikten Observanz“ epochengleich mit Zinnendorf, Feßler und Schröder Reformer wirkten, die für die weitere Entwicklung der deutschen Freimaurerei prägend blieben. Reformen erfolgten auch in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts, als Reformgroßlogen („Freimaurerbund zur aufgehenden Sonne“ und „Symbolische Großloge“) entstanden, und schließlich auch in der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als durch (und während der Großmeisterschaft von) Theodor Vogel und Hans Gemünd eine neue Struktur zumindest der humanitären Freimaurerei in Deutschland geschaffen wurde. Freimaurerische GrundstrukturDoch mit der erwähnten Flexibilität verbanden sich feste, unterscheidbare Merkmale, die den besonderen Charakter der Freimaurerei und ihrer Logen durch die Geschichte hindurch begründeten. Zwar blieb Freimaurerei immer ein „Raum, in dem vieles möglich war“, aber dieser Raum „war nicht undefiniert, er enthielt wiedererkennbare Strukturen und Regeln“ (Monika Neugebauer-Wölk). Zu diesen Merkmalen der freimaurerischen Grundstruktur gehörten und gehören insbesondere die folgenden vier: · die abgeschlossene, durch verschwiegene Rituale geschützte, in der Regel männerbündische Gruppe, kurz das konstitutive „maurerische Geheimnis“, das die Grenzen der Logengruppe bestimmte, wobei die Ableistung eines Eides der Verschwiegenheit bzw. eines feierlichen Gelöbnisses als Abschluss eines verbindlichen und bei Verletzung sanktionierten „Gruppenvertrages“ fungiert; · der initiatische Charakter der Rituale: Die Einführung des neuen Mitglieds und seine Wanderung durch die verschiedenen Grade erfolgt in rituellen Formen, die seit Arnold van Gennep als Übergangsriten (rites des passage) beschrieben werden und Ausdruck eines bestimmten, auf „Vervollkommnung“ des Menschen angelegten Menschenbildes der Freimaurerei sind; · eine ins Hermetisch-Esoterische erweiterte und später mit der Schaffung von Hochgradsystemen durch Rittersymbolik überhöhte Bausymbolik, in deren Mittelpunkt die Idee von Sein und Zeit als sinnvoll zu gestaltende Bauwerke steht, die von einer wertgebundenen Bauidee unter dem Symbol eines universellen Großen Baumeisters geleitetet wird, sowie · ein Kanon von Werten, der um unterschiedliche, aufklärerisch-humanitär geprägte Begrifflichkeiten wie Menschenliebe, Brüderlichkeit, Duldsamkeit (Toleranz) und Gottesfürchtigkeit kreist, auf „Einübung“ dieser Werte setzt („Einübungsethik“ im Sinne von Klaus Hammacher) und die hierdurch inhaltlich die Logengruppe als positive innere Gegenwelt zu den verschiedenen profanen äußeren Welten konstituiert. Dieser freimaurerische Wertkanon war inhaltlich von Anfang an breit interpretierbar, vor allem in seiner Bedeutung für politisch-gesellschaftliche und philosophisch-religiöse Kontexte, innerhalb deren sich Logen und Logensysteme definierten. Dies bedeutet, dass die Freimaurerei in ihrer historischen Entwicklung mit sehr verschiedenen politischen Strukturen vereinbar war, zunächst (und vor allem) mit den sich im 18. Jahrhundert etablierenden Strukturen der Bürgergesellschaft, als Freimaurerei phasenweise fortschrittsadäquat war und zum Katalysator zukünftiger politischer Reformen, ja tiefgreifender Veränderungen im Sinne von bürgerlicher Gleichheit, Demokratie und nationaler Unabhängigkeit wurde. Doch wegen der für die Freimaurerei konstitutiven Trennung von Innenraum und Außenraum, von inneren (privaten) Tugenden und äußeren (öffentlichen) Tugenden erwies sich der freimaurerische Wertekanon als auch mit vordemokratisch-absolutistischen und – dies zeigte sich insbesondere an der Wende zu den 1930er Jahren – mit nicht-demokratischen, politisch-autoritären sowie nationalistischen Strukturen vereinbar. Das Geheimnis der MaurerDas große Gemeinsame der verschiedenen „Freimaurereien“ blieb durch die Zeiten hindurch die brüderliche Gemeinschaft, die geübte Verschwiegenheit, das Setzen von Gruppengrenzen, die Trennung von innen und außen – kurz das „maurerische Geheimnis“. Es hatte und hat verschiedene Funktionen für die freimaurerische Gruppenbildung und ist damit von großer Relevanz auch für die Frage nach Veränderungen und Reformen. Unter diesen (auch heute noch) partiell bewusst gesetzten, partiell implizit praktizierten Funktionen können – teilweise im Anschluss an Michael Voges – vor allem die folgenden unterschieden werden: · die schützende Funktion: ursprünglich Bedingung für eine für eine von staatlichen und kirchlichen Eingriffen freie Sphäre, später Voraussetzung zur Bewahrung der im Falle der Veröffentlichung störanfälligen Integrität des rituellen Geschehens; · die soziale Funktion: Stiftung von Freundschaft unter Menschen, die sich sonst nicht als Freunde begegnet wären; soziale Einbindung; Raum für die Begegnung als „bloße“ Menschen; · die integrative Funktion: Zusammenbinden der generell eher unbestimmten Zwecksetzungen der Freimaurerei durch Stiftung von emotional erlebter, wert- und symbolüberhöhter Gemeinsamkeit; · die illusionsstiftende Funktion: Schaffung und Sicherung eines Raums zum Ausleben mannigfaltiger (oft im Widerspruch zu erklärten freimaurerischen Prinzipien stehenden) „Selbstverwirklichungs- und Selbsterhöhungsambitionen“; · die pädagogische Funktion: Einüben von Tugenden und Vertrauenswürdigkeit, Praktizieren von „Einübungsethik“; · die Lockfunktion: Erhöhen der Attraktivität der Freimaurerei durch Einhüllen in einen „Mantel des Geheimnisvollen“; schließlich und sehr wesentlich für den Prozess von Veränderungen und Reformen · die Funktion „innerer Hierarchisierung“: Gradvermehrung im Sinne einer „Hierarchie von Einweihungen“ zwecks Schaffung erweiterter Erlebnis-, Geltungs- und Selbstverwirklichungsmöglichkeiten – eine Funktion, die sich gelegentlich durchaus als Element der Generierung von Konflikten in und zwischen Logen erwiesen hat und erweist. Das freimaurerische „Geheimnis“ verhinderte jedoch weder die Kommunikation mit Öffentlichkeit und Gesellschaft noch den Aufbau regionaler und internationaler Netzwerke sowie – vor allem durch sich überschneidende Mitgliedschaften – ein Zusammenwirken mit anderen Assoziationen. Das für die Logen typische Verhältnis von Geschlossenheit und Öffnung machte die Freimaurerei – wie zuerst von Georg Simmel aufgezeigt wurde – zu einer „geheimen Gesellschaft“ spezifischen und von Anbeginn an durchaus eingeschränkten Typs. In seiner „Soziologie. Untersuchungen über die Formen der Vergesellschaftung“ von 1908 schreibt Simmel: „Das Freimaurertum betont, dass es die allgemeinste Gesellschaft sein will, der ‚Bund der Bünde‘, der einzige, der jeden Sonderzweck und mit ihm alles partikularistische Wesen ablehnt und ausschließlich das allen guten Menschen Gemeinsame zu seinem Material machen will. Und Hand in Hand mit dieser, immer entschiedener werdenden Tendenz wächst die Vergleichgültigung des Geheimnischarakters für die Logen, seine Zurückziehung auf die bloßen formalen Äußerlichkeiten.....Der Freimaurerbund konnte seine neuerdings stark betonte Behauptung, dass er kein eigentlicher ‚Geheimbund‘ wäre, nicht besser stützen, als durch sein gleichzeitig geäußertes Ideal, alle Menschen zu umfassen und die Menschheit als ganze darzustellen“. Freilich hat diese Ablehnung „jedes Sonderzwecks“ die Folge, dass die Freimaurerei auf konkrete politisch-gesellschaftliche Programme verzichten muss. „Die Menschheit als ganze darzustellen“ heißt, das freimaurerische Ideal dadurch exoterisch zu machen, dass es im Innenraum der Loge überzeugend praktiziert wird. Oft ist der Freimaurerbund allerdings den entgegengesetzten Weg gegangen: In der Auseinandersetzung um einen vermeintlich zu verfolgenden äußeren Zweck, wurden die Möglichkeiten einer Annäherung an die inneren Ideale und eigentlichen Wirkungsmöglichkeiten der Loge (Charakterformung, Einübung ethischen Verhaltens, praktische Mitmenschlichkeit) immer wieder beeinträchtigt. Geheimnis, Veränderung, ReformDie von einander abweichenden Interessen der Mitglieder der Freimaurerlogen, der unterschiedliche Grad, in dem die Logenwirklichkeit den Wertvorstellungen und Ambitionen der einzelnen Freimaurer entsprachen und die unterschiedliche Intensität, mit der „deutungsmächtige“ Brüder Übereinstimmungen oder Abweichungen von der „eigentlichen, echten, ursprünglichen Freimaurerei“ postulierten, hatte Auswirkungen auf Mitgliedschaft und Entwicklung des Bundes. Einerseits veranlassten mannigfaltige Enttäuschungen immer wieder prominente Brüder, die Freimaurerei zu verlassen, in der sie oft sehr aktiv tätig gewesen waren. Andererseits entwickelten sich unterschiedlich intensive und verschieden ausgerichtete Reformen. Auch die mannigfaltigen Umgestaltungen des Freimaurerbundes können im Hinblick auf das freimaurerische Geheimnis als Inbegriff der zuvor erörterten freimaurerischen Grundstruktur interpretiert werden. Dabei lassen sich vier typische Ansätze unterscheiden: · Die „Relativierung des Geheimnisses“, die dem von Simmel beschriebenen und besonders in den Reformen Friedrich Ludwig Schröders Ausdruck findenden Weg einer „Vergleichgültigung des Geheimnischarakters für die Logen“ folgte. Hier ging es nicht mehr um das in den Ritualinhalten verborgene „wahre“ Geheimnis, es ging um das „eigentliche Geheimnis“ der Freimaurerei, das menschliche Begegnung zwischen Freunden, das Erlebnis der Bruderliebe sowie die „freimaurerische Geisteshaltung“ in das Zentrum des Bundes rückte. · Die schon genannte „Hierarchisierung des Geheimnisses“: Hier wurde und wird das freimaurerische „Geheimnis“ (oder zumindest ein wesentlicher Teile davon) in den Ritualen neuer Systeme, Grade und Erkenntnisstufen gesucht, die über die „klassischen“ Grade Lehrling, Geselle und Meister hinausgehen und ein zunehmendes Maß an „Binnendifferenzierung“ innerhalb der freimaurerischen Gruppe bewirken. · Die Verstärkung des religiösen Charakters der Freimaurerei („Metaphysierung des Geheimnisses“), wobei einerseits christliche, vor allem christologische, andererseits esoterische Elemente in den Vordergrund rückten. · Die „Radikalisierung des Geheimnisses“ durch den Übergang zum politisch orientierten Geheimbund, wofür die Illuminaten das wichtigste historische Beispiel bieten. Zweierlei ist hier hinzuzufügen: Einmal sind die einzelnen Reformansätze nicht klar voneinander zu trennen und können sich, wie etwa „Verchristlichung“ und Hierarchisierung durchaus miteinander verbinden. Zum anderen verlaufen sie nicht gradlinig und können auf den jeweiligen „Reformachsen“ Gegenentwicklungen auslösen (gegen Hierarchisierung etwa das Wirken des „Ekklektischen Bundes“ und des Schröderschen Systems, gegen Metaphysierung z.B. die Positionen des „Grand Orient de France“ und des „Freimaurerbunds zur aufgehenden Sonne“, gegen Relativierung Rückkehr zur Esoterik als Material und Perzeptionsweise freimaurerischer Rituale). Selbstverständnis, Ritual, Geheimnis heuteIn der gesellschaftlichen Realität von heute sind sich die deutschen Logen und Großlogen bewusst, dass die Freimaurerei ein neues, „offenes“ Verhältnis zur Öffentlichkeit herzustellen hat. Die Bruderschaft versteht sich als Bestandteil der demokratisch-pluralistischen Gesellschaft. Dies bedeutet zugleich, sich ihres Platzes in eben dieser Gesellschaft zu versichern und sich ihrer sozialen Umwelt verständlich zu machen, denn je mehr sich die deutsche Freimaurerei zur Gesellschaft öffnete, desto häufiger wurde sie auf ihr Selbstverständnis und ihre Wirklichkeit hin befragt. Legimitätsbegründungen durch Berufung auf die Geschichte der Freimaurerei reichten nicht mehr aus. Auch Hinweise auf „bedeutende Freimaurer“ konnten nicht genügen. Die Fragen, was Freimaurerei in der modernen Gesellschaft ist und sein will, und was das „freimaurerische Geheimnis“ heute bedeutet, mussten auf eine klarere Weise beantwortet werden. Eine präzise Antwort auf diese Fragen ist jedoch schwierig. Gewiss herrscht Übereinstimmung unter den deutschen Freimaurern in Bezug auf historische Entwicklungslinien und strukturelle Grundelemente, doch die Formen und Farben dieses Freimaurerbildes variieren ebenso, wie seine Einordnung in gesellschaftlich-historische Bezüge und die Begrifflichkeit seiner Vermittlung. Dies ist einmal darauf zurückzuführen, dass Großgruppen wie die Freimaurerei generell nie nur ein Selbstverständnis aufweisen und griffig-eindeutige Formulierungen für Corporate Identities immer subjektive Konstruktionen sind, die nicht selten den Verdacht ertragen müssen, primär als Führungsinstrumente nach innen und reglementierte Kommunikationscodes nach außen zu fungieren. Dazu kommen der unterschiedliche historische Hintergrund der einzelnen deutschen Logen- und Großlogen, die hierdurch bedingten tendenziell von einander abweichenden „Lehrartverständnisse“, sowie der Umstand, dass auch die deutsche Freimaurerei der Gegenwart keine „Grundsatzkommissionen“ kennt und die einzelnen Freimaurer zudem in der Regel strikt auf einer ganz individuellen Deutungshoheit bezüglich dessen beharren, was unter Freimaurerei zu verstehen ist. Dennoch gibt es Übereinstimmungen, die in Satzungen, Stellungnahmen der Großlogenleitungen, Positionspapieren, Logen- und Großlogendiskussionen und neuerdings auch den freimaurerischen Internetseiten ihren Ausdruck finden. Diese Übereinstimmungen haben klärenden Funktionen nach innen, sollen jedoch auch einer Öffentlichkeitsarbeit dienen, die die freimaurerische Identität nach außen vermittelt. Weitgehender Konsens besteht innerhalb der deutschen Bruderschaft darüber, dass Freimaurerei ein Freundschaftsbund ist, der über weltanschauliche, politische, nationale und soziale Grenzen hinweg Menschen miteinander verbinden will, die sich nach Herkunft und Interessenlage sonst nicht begegnen würden. Freimaurerei wird weiter übereinstimmend als ethisch orientierter Bund verstanden, der mit seinen alten Wertpositionen Humanität, Brüderlichkeit, Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit, Friedensliebe und Toleranz Orientierungen und Maßstäbe für das Denken und Handeln ihrer Mitglieder vorzugeben in der Lage ist. Schließlich versteht sich Freimaurerei weitgehend ungeteilt als dogmenfreie Kultgemeinschaft, die sich zur Festigung zwischenmenschlicher Bindungen, zur gefühlsmäßigen Vertiefung ethischer Überzeugungen, zur Vergegenwärtigung transzendenter Bezüge und als Anleitung zur Selbsterkenntnis alter, auf die Tradition der europäischen Dombauhütten zurückzuführende und aus anderen Quellen angereicherter Symbole und Rituale bedient. Und in diesem Kontext ist auch die Frage nach dem „Geheimnis“ nach wie vor von Bedeutung! Zunächst eine deutliche Abgrenzung: Freimaurerei versteht sich in keiner Weise als Geheimbund oder gar Verschwörung (auch der Begriff „Verschwörung zum Guten“ ist unglücklich). Der Freimaurerbund und seine Mitglieder bekennen sich zu Demokratie und offener Gesellschaft, zu deren Verwirklichung viele Freimaurer wesentlich beigetragen haben. Zweck, Organisation und Vorstände von Logen und Großlogen sind jedem Interessenten zugänglich. Viele Veranstaltungen der Freimaurer sind heute öffentlich, und viele der im Auftrag der Großlogen herausgegebenen Publikationen können auch von Nichtmitgliedern des Bundes bezogen werden. Die von den Freimaurern geübte Verschwiegenheit bezieht sich nur auf einige Einzelheiten des freimaurerischen Brauchtums und ist Symbol für den in jeder Gemeinschaft notwendigen Schutz von Freundschaft und persönlichem Vertrauen. Das „freimaurerische Geheimnis“ kann heute nur noch im Sinne eines solchen Vertrauensschutzes verstanden und praktiziert werden. Es darf Freimaurerei und Gesellschaft nicht trennen. Es sollte vielmehr angesichts des weitverbreiteten, gleichermaßen von den Medien wie ihren Konsumenten zu verantwortenden, oft schon suchthaften Dranges zur Indiskretion als konstruktives und stabilisierendes Wirkungselement einer offenen und zugleich humanen Gesellschaft verstanden und vermittelt werden. Wenn sich die Freimaurerei in der Kommunikation mit der Öffentlichkeit darum bemüht, ihre Strukturen und ihr Selbstverständnis deutlich zu machen, sollte folglich nicht nur über brüderliche Beziehungen und ideelle Werte gesprochen werden. Verdeutlicht werden muss auch Wesen und Herkunft des Rituals. Dies ist durchaus möglich, auch (und gerade) wenn ein Kern von Arkandisziplin als Symbol für Einübung in Vertrauenswürdigkeit bewahrt wird. Voraussetzung dafür, dass auch das Gespräch über Ritual und „Geheimnis“ in die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Logen einbezogen werden kann, ist allerdings ein gründliches Wissen über Herkunft und Funktion der freimaurerischen Rituale. Hier sind immer wieder Defizite festzustellen, die auch durch den Griff zu filmischen Mitteln nicht überwunden werden können. Im Gegenteil: Bilder verwirren mehr als sie nützen, wenn sie nicht in fundierte verbale Reflexionen einbezogen werden können. Interne Unterrichtung über freimaurerische Rituale sollte daher stets mit dem Einüben in die Fähigkeit verbunden sein, die Bedeutung des Rituals mit klaren Worten nach außen zu vermitteln. *** *** ***

Théorie des complots, infox, fake news, actions antihumanistes… : qui est derrière ce fléau qui empoisonne la Société ?   Engendrer, manier et répandre de fausses informations, tel est le dessein des comploteurs, conspirateurs, complotistes et conspirationnistes unis dans le même but de nuisance et de dresser des citoyens les uns contre les autres. Photos : Vandalisme, saccage, menaces… dans un temple maçonnique à Serrières (Photos JL G.) De nombreux observateurs rappellent que ces procédés ne sont pas nouveaux et furent significatifs de la propagande nazie, fasciste, franquiste, vichyste, salazariste, communiste…, exception faite que dans la manipulation contemporaine, les réseaux sociaux sont à présent parties prenantes au point que l’on parle de « message viral » quand c’est répandu à grande échelle. Parfois planétaire. Une technique derrière laquelle se cachent maints anonymes ou groupuscules, alors que des Trump et Cie en font une tribune mondiale de matraquage et prosélytisme. Ces derniers mois, COVID-19 et confinement/déconfinement obligent probablement, une nette recrudescence du complotisme doublé d’un antihumanisme exacerbé est constaté. Parmi les exemples relativement récents, épinglons cette déclaration de l’auteur Marek Halter[1] au sujet de la pandémie actuelle spécifiant que la télévision russe diffusa une information soulignant que « les milliardaires internationaux » détenaient l’antidote au virus et qu’ils attendaient que la peur envahisse tous les continents pour commercialiser le médicament à prix d’or. L’écrivain précisa : « Et qui sont-ils, ces milliardaires internationaux ? Des juifs ! La fausse information ne va pas tarder à se répandre en France », disait-il en mars. Eh bien ! C’est fait, Monsieur Halter. Et, comme pour les complotistes, qui dit juif pense automatiquement franc-maçon, la théorie du complot judéo-maçonnique a repris force et vigueur. Comme à l’époque nazie, des listes de francs-maçons circulent publiquement sur Internet afin d’éradiquer les « satanistes »[2], par exemple sur un site français sous la forme d’un montage de sigles d’organisations et d’un titre racoleur : « Francs-maçons qui nous gouvernent » : Club de Rome, UNESCO, CIA, Klu Klux Klan…[3] Canular ? La suite fait état d’une liste « non exhaustive » et cite des noms liés aux fonctions, tel celui d’une « ancienne ministre franc-maçonne de la secte maçonnique du Grand Orient de France… » Ce qui n’a pas été non plus un canular s’est déroulé durant cet été 2020, avec l’article dans Métropolitain (édition de la région occitane), hebdomadaire français du groupe Publi Hebdos[4] : « À Métropolitain, il y a belle lurette que nous possédons les noms des gendarmes, policiers, douaniers, sapeurs-pompiers, avocats et magistrats – ainsi que des confrères – qui fréquentent assidument les obédiences héraultaises… Mettre son nez dans une loge peut vous envoyer en enfer. » Corneto, cornuto, cornes... : coureur cycliste remportant une classique et faisant un signe jugé "satanique" par les complotistes, alors qu'il est question d'une marque de sympathie à un être cher (Prise d'écran RTBF) Généralement, les complotistes se targuent de donner des « indices » » pour reconnaître ceux qui conspirent. Ainsi, un site musical[5] de l’hexagone a créé la rubrique « Corneto ».   Outre différentes explications (cocu en Italie, « Je t’aime » en langage sourd et muet…), on y lit : « Certains adeptes de théories sur une conspiration possible vous dirons que c’est un geste montrant l’appartenance à une société élitiste secrète des dirigeants de notre monde… Possible, c’est un code maçonnique (…) »Dès lors, il n’est pas étonnant de constater que se répandent les profanations de tombes juives, les menaces, tags (surtout avec des croix gammées), insultes, agressions verbales et physiques envers des juifs et francs-maçons, le vandalisme et le saccage de temples (Tarbes, Poitiers, Rennes, Vienne, Serrières…)

On Thursday April 30th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on the quasi-Masonic Rite of Memphis, sometimes called the Rite of Memphis and Misraim which is highly irregular in orthodox Masonic circles and is usually considered a Clandestine (unrecognized and proscribed) organization to which regular Masons cannot belong. This collection of rites or degrees (96 of them) has a long and colorful history which we will delve into consulting Mackey, Calvin C. Brut, John Yarker and Allen Greenfield. In the 1880's the Rite of Memphis infiltrated the Scottish Rites Northern Jurisdiction and went into competition with Scottish Rite itself to see which system would become an accepted Advanced (Red Lodge) along with York Rite for regular American Masons. Scottish Rite's 33 degree system won the turf war, with Albert Pike's help and the Rite of M&M disappeared into the College of defunct Masonic Rites (yes there is such an institution). The same thing had happened to it in France a hundred years earlier when the Grand Orient absorbed it and locked it up in their archives -- but the M&M is not easily suppressed. Its founder, after signing it over to the Grand Orient, sneaked it into Moldavia (one of Dracula's hang outs) and it briefly rose again. Recently Masonic mavericks Allen Greenfield and Jeff Peace have tried to resurrect it here in the United States. Jeff Peace tried to get a number of regular Masons who were interested in the esoteric involved in M&M, at their peril. So if you would like to explore a delightfully conspiratorial and deliciously controversial secret society that claims to have "All the Secrets of ancient Masonry and certainly enough of its degrees" then tune in and we'll sail up the Nile to the Pyramids.

Recording of the 3 LPs recorded in 1968 by Myron Fagan detailing the Illuminati plan for One World Government through the Council on Foreign Relations. (June 21st 2018) 2h51m Comment on FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/63261054790/posts/10156554177124791Comment on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeBotCast/status/1009989009341386752     This stunning recording from 1967 speaks to the very problems we face today, including Fake News, government corruption, the corrupt United Nations and infiltration of a Luciferian Rothschild cult who may have gained irreversible control of the US government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myron_Coureval_Fagan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfEn9Dz1_j0   Transcript http://educate-yourself.org/nwo/illuminatiagendabestoverviewyet8jun02.shtml     Part 1(Original title: The Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations ) The question of how and why the United Nations is the crux of the great conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of the United States and the enslavement of the American people within a U.N. one-world dictatorship is a complete and unknown mystery to the vast majority of the American people.   The reason for this unawareness of the frightening danger to our country and to the entire free world is simple. The masterminds behind this great conspiracy have absolute control of all of our mass communications media, especially television, the radio, the press, and Hollywood. We all know that our State Department, the Pentagon, and the White House have brazenly proclaimed that they have the right and the power to manage the news, to tell us not the truth but what they want us to believe. They have seized that power on orders from their masters of the great conspiracy and the objective is to brainwash the people into accepting the phony peace bait to transform the United States into an enslaved unit of the United Nations’ one-world government. First of all, bear in mind that the so-called U.N. police action in Korea, fought by the United States in which 150,000 of our sons were murdered and maimed, was part of the plot; just as the undeclared by Congress war in Vietnam in which our sons are dying is part of the plot; just as the plot against Rhodesia and South Africa in which our sons will be dying is part of the U.N. plot. However, the vitally important thing for all Americans, all you mothers of the boys who died in Korea and are now dying in Vietnam, to know is that our so-called leaders in Washington, who we elected to safeguard our nation and our constitution, are the betrayers and that behind them are a comparatively small group of men whose sole objective is to enslave the whole world of humanity in their satanic plot of one-world government. Now in order to give you a very clear picture of this satanic plot, I will go back to its beginning, clear back in the middle of the 18th century and name the men who put that plot into action and then bring you down to the present – today’s status of that plot. Now as a matter of further intelligence, a term used by the FBI, let me clarify the meaning of the expression “he is a liberal.” The enemy, meaning the one-world conspirators, have seized upon that word “liberal” as a cover-up for their activities. It sounds so innocent and so humanitarian to be liberal. Well, make sure that the person who calls himself a liberal or is described as a liberal is not in truth a “red.” Now then, this satanic plot was launched back in the 1760’s when it first came into existence under the name “Illuminati.” This Illuminati was organized by one Adam Weishaupt, born a Jew, who was converted to Catholicism and became a Catholic priest, and then, at the behest of the then newly organized House of Rothschild, defected and organized the Illuminati. Naturally, the Rothschilds financed that operation and every war since then, beginning with the French Revolution, has been promoted by the Illuminati operating under various names and guises. I say under various names and guises because after the Illuminati was exposed and became notorious, Weishaupt and his co-conspirators began to operate under various other names. In the United States, immediately after World War I, they set up what they called the “Council on Foreign Relations,” commonly referred to as the CFR, and this CFR is actually the Illuminati in the United States and its hierarchy. The masterminds in control of the original Illuminati conspirators, but to conceal that fact, most of them changed their original family names to American sounding names. For example, the true name of the Dillons, Clarence and Douglas Dillon (one Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department), is Laposky. I’ll come back to all this later. There is a similar establishment of the Illuminati in England operating under the name of the “British Institute of International Affairs.” There are similar secret Illuminati organizations in France, Germany, and other nations operating under different names and all these organizations, including the CFR, continuously set up numerous subsidiary or front organizations that are infiltrated into every phase of the various nations’ affairs. But at all times, the operations of these organizations were and are masterminded and controlled by the Internationalist Bankers, they in turn were and are controlled by the Rothschilds. One branch of the Rothschild family had financed Napoleon; another branch of the Rothschilds financed Britain, Germany, and the other nations in the Napoleonic wars. Immediately after the Napoleonic wars, the Illuminati assumed that all the nations were so destitute and so weary of wars that they’d be glad for any solution, so the Rothschild stooges set up what they called the Congress of Vienna and at that meeting they tried to create the first League of Nations, their first attempted one-world government, on the theory that all the crowned heads of European governments were so deeply in debt to them that they would willingly or unwillingly serve as their stooges. But the Czar of Russia caught the stench of the plot and completely torpedoed it. The enraged Nathan Rothschild, then the head of the dynasty, vowed that some day he or his descendants would destroy the Czar and his entire family, and his descendants did accomplish that very threat in 1917. At this point, bear in mind that the Illuminati was not set up to operate on a short-range basis. Normally a conspirator of any type enters into a conspiracy with the expectation of achieving his objective during his own lifetime. But that was not the case with the Illuminati. True, they hoped to accomplish their objective during their lifetime, but paraphrasing “The show must go on,” the Illuminati operates on the very long-range basis. Whether it will take scores of years or even centuries, they have dedicated their descendants to keep the pot boiling until they hope the conspiracy is achieved. Now, let’s go back to the birth of the Illuminati. Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit-trained professor of canon law, teaching in Engelstock University, when he defected from Christianity to embrace the luciferian conspiracy. It was in 1770 that the professional money lenders, the then recently organized House of Rothschild, retained him to revise and modernize the age-old Protocols of Zionism, which from the outset, was designed to give the Synagogue of Satan, so named by Jesus Christ, ultimate world domination so they could impose the luciferian ideology upon what would remain of the human race after the final social cataclysm by use of satanic despotism. Weishaupt completed his task May 1, 1776. Now you know why May 1 is the great day with all communist nations to this very day (May 1 is also “Law Day” as declared by the American Bar Association). That was the day, May 1, 1776, that Weishaupt completed his plan and officially organized the Illuminati to put the plan into execution. That plan required the destruction of all existing governments and religions. That objective was to be reached by dividing the masses of people, whom he Weishaupt, termed: “goyism” or human cattle into opposing camps in ever increasing numbers on political, social, economic, and other issues – the very conditions we have in our country today. The opposing sides were then to be armed and incidents provided which would cause them to fight and weaken themselves and gradually destroy national governments and religious institutions. Again I say, the very conditions in the world today. And at this point let me stress a prime feature of the Illuminati plans. When and if their blueprint for world control, the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion, is discovered and exposed, they would wipe all the Jews off the face of the earth in order to divert suspicions from themselves. If you think this is far fetched, bear in mind that they permitted Hitler, a liberal socialist himself, who was financed by corrupt Kennedy, the Warburgs, and the Rothschilds, to incinerate 600,000 Jews. Now just why did the conspirators choose the word: “Illuminati” for their satanic organization? Weishaupt himself said that the word is derived from Lucifer and means: “holder of the light.” Using the lie that his objective was to bring about a one-world government to enable those with mental ability to govern the world and prevent all wars in the future. In short, using the words: “peace on earth” as his bait, exactly as that same bait as: “peace” was used by the 1945 conspirators to force the United Nations on us, Weishaupt financed, I repeat, by the Rothschilds, recruited some 2,000 paid followers. These included the most intelligent men in the field of arts and letters, education, the sciences, finance, and industry. He then established Lodges of the Grand Orient; Masonic Lodges to be their secret headquarters and I again repeat, that in all of this he was acting under orders from the House of Rothschild. The main features of the Weishaupt plan of operation required his Illuminati to do the following things to help them to accomplish their purpose: Use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of men already in high places in the various of levels of all governments and other fields of endeavor. Once influential persons had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and fiscal harm, even death to themselves and loved members of their families. Do you realize how many present top officials in our present government in Washington are controlled in just that way by the CFR? Do you realize how many homosexuals in our State Department, the Pentagon, all federal agencies, even in the White House are controlled that way? Illuminati and the faculties of colleges and universities were to cultivate students possessing exceptional mental ability belonging to well-bred families with international leanings and recommend them for special training in internationalism. Such training was to be provided by granting scholarships to those selected by the Illuminatists. That gives you an idea what a “Rhodes scholarship” means. It means indoctrination into accepting the idea that only a one-world government can put an end to recurring wars and strife. That’s how the United Nations was sold to the American people.  One of the most notable Rhodes scholars we have in our country is Senator William J. Fulbright, sometimes referred to as half-bright. His entire voting record spells Illuminati. All such scholars were to be first persuaded and then convinced that men of special talent and brains have the right to rule those less gifted on the ground that the masses don’t know what is best for them fiscally, mentally, and spiritually. In addition to the Rhodes and similar scholarships, today there are three special Illuminati schools located in Gordonstown in Scotland, Salem in Germany, and Annavrighta in Greece. These three are known ones, but there are others that are kept undercover. Prince Philip, the husband of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, was educated at Gordonstown at the instigation of Lord Louis Mountbatten, his uncle, a Rothschild relative, who became Britain’s Admiral of the Fleet after World War II ended. All influential people trapped into coming under the control of the Illuminati, plus the students who had been specially educated and trained, were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of all governments as experts and specialists so they would advise the top executives to adopt policies which would in the long run serve the secret plans of the Illuminati one-world conspiracy and bring about the destruction of the governments and religions they were elected or appointed to serve. Do you know how many such men operate in our government at this very time? Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, Hubert Humphrey, Fulbright, Keekle, and goes on and on and on. Perhaps the most vital directive in Weishaupt’s plan was to obtain absolute control of the press, at that time the only mass communications media, to distribute information to the public so that all news and information could be slanted so that the masses could be convinced that a one-world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems. Do you know who owns and controls our mass communications media? I’ll tell you. Practically all the movie lots in Hollywood is owned by the Lehmans; Kuhn, Loeb, and Company; Goldman-Sachs; and other internationalist bankers. All the national radio and TV channels in the nation are owned and controlled by those same internationalists bankers. The same is true of every chain of metropolitan newspapers and magazines, also of the press wire services, such as Associated Press, United Press International, etc.. The supposed heads of all those media are merely the fronts for the internationalist bankers, who in turn compose the hierarchy of the CFR, today’s Illuminati in America. Now can you understand why the Pentagon Press agent, Sylvester, so brazenly proclaimed that the government has the right to lie to the people. What he really meant was that our CFR controlled government had the power to lie to and be believed by the brain-washed American people. Let us again go back to the first days of the Illuminati. Because Britain and France were the two greatest world powers in the late years of the 18th Century; Weishaupt ordered the Illuminati to foment the colonial wars, including our Revolutionary War, to weaken the British Empire and organize the French Revolution to start in 1789. However; in 1784, a true act of God placed the Bavarian government in possession of evidence which proved the existence of the Illuminati and that evidence could have saved France if they, the French government, hadn’t refused to believe it. Here is how that act of God happened. It was in 1784 that Weishaupt issued his orders for the French Revolution. A German writer, named Zweig, put it into book form. It contained the entire Illuminati story and Weishaupt’s plans. A copy of this book was sent to the Illuminists in France headed by Robespierre whom Weishaupt had delegated to foment the French Revolution. The courier was struck and killed by lightening as he rode through Rawleston on his way from Frankfurt to Paris. The police found the subversive documents on his body and turned them over to the proper authorities. After a careful study of the plot; the Bavarian government ordered the police to raid Weishaupt’s newly organized Lodges of the “Grand Orient” and the homes of his most influential associates. All additional evidence thus discovered convinced the authorities that the documents were genuine copies of the conspiracy by which the Illuminati planned to use wars and revolutions to bring about the establishment of a one-world government; the powers of which they, headed by the Rothschilds, intended to usurp as soon as it was established, exactly in line with the United Nations’ plot of today. In 1785, the Bavarian government outlawed the Illuminati and closed the Lodges of the “Grand Orient.” In 1786; they published all the details of the conspiracy. The English title of that publication is: “The Original Writings of the Order and the Sect of the Illuminati.” Copies of the entire conspiracy were sent to all the heads of church and state in Europe. But the power of the Illuminati, which was actually the power of the Rothschilds, was so great that this warning was ignored. Nevertheless; the Illuminati became a dirty word and it went underground. At the same time, Weishaupt ordered Illuminists to infiltrate into the Lodges of “Blue Masonry” and formed their own secret societies within all secret societies. Only Masons who proved themselves internationalists and those whose conduct proved they had defected from God were initiated into the Illuminati. Thenceforth; the conspirators donned the cloak of philanthropy and humanitarianism to conceal their revolutionary and subversive activities. In order to infiltrate into Masonic Lodges in Britain; Weishaupt invited John Robison over to Europe. Robison was a high degree Mason in the “Scottish Rite.” He was a professor of natural philosophy at Edinburgh University and Secretary of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Robison did not fall for the lie that the objective of the Illuminati was to create a benevolent dictatorship; but he kept his reactions to himself so well that he was entrusted with a copy of Weishaupt’s revised conspiracy for study and safekeeping. Anyway; because the heads of state and church in France were deluded into ignoring the warnings given them; the revolution broke out in 1789 as scheduled by Weishaupt. In order to alert other governments to their danger, in 1798, Robison published a book entitled: “Proof of a Conspiracy to Destroy all Governments and Religions” but his warnings were ignored exactly as our American people have been ignoring all warnings about the United Nations and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Now here is something that will stun and very likely outrage many who hear this; but there is documentary proof that our own Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton became students of Weishaupt. Jefferson was one of Weishaupt’s strongest defenders when he was outlawed by his government and it was Jefferson who infiltrated the Illuminati into the then newly organized lodges of the “Scottish Rite” in New England. Here is the proof. In 1789; John Robison warned all Masonic leaders in America that the Illuminati had infiltrated into their lodges and on July 19, 1789; David Papen, President of Harvard University, issued the same warning to the graduating class and lectured them on how the influence of Illuminism was acquitting on American politics and religion, and to top it off; John Quincy Adams, who had organized the New England Masonic Lodges, issued his warnings. Adams wrote three letters to Colonel William L. Stone, a top Mason, in which he exposed how Jefferson was using Masonic lodges for subversive Illuministic purposes. Those three letters are at this very time in Whittenburg Square Library in Philadelphia. In short; Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party, was a member of the Illuminati which at least partly accounts for the condition of the party at this time and through infiltration of the Republican Party; we have exactly nothing of loyal Americanism today. That disastrous rebuff at the Congress of Vienna created by the Czar of Russia, Alexander I, did not by any means destroy the Illuminati conspiracy. It merely forced them to adopt a new strategy realizing that the one-world idea was, for the moment, killed. The Rothschild’s decided that to keep the plot alive they would have to do it by heightening their control of the money system of the European nations. Earlier; by a ruse the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo had been falsified, Rothschild had spread a story that Napoleon had one bad battle which precipitated a terrific panic on the stock market in England. All stocks had plummeted down to practically zero and Nathan Rothschild bought all the stocks for virtually a penny on its dollar values. That gave him complete control of the economy of Britain and virtually of all Europe. So immediately after that Congress in Vienna had boomeranged; Rothschild had forced Britain to set up a new “Bank of England” which he had absolute control exactly, as later through Jacob Schiff; he engineered our own “Federal Reserve Act” which gave the House of Rothschild a secret control of the economy in the United States. But now for a moment; let’s dwell on the activities of the Illuminati in the United States. In 1826; one Captain William Morgan decided it was his duty to inform all Masons and the general public what the full proof was regarding the Illuminati, their secret plans, intended objectives, and to reveal the identities of the masterminds of the conspiracy. The Illuminati promptly tried Morgan in absentia and convicted him of treason. They ordered one Richard Howard, an English Illuminist, to carry out their sentence of execution as a traitor. Morgan was warned and he tried to escape to Canada, but Howard caught up with him near the border; near the Niagara Gorge to be exact, where he murdered him. This was verified in a sworn statement made in New York by one Avery Allen to the effect that he heard Howard render his report of the execution to a meeting of “Knights Templers” in St. John’s Hall in New York. He also told how arrangements had been made to ship Howard back to England. That Allen affidavit is on record in New York City Archives. Very few Masons and very few of the general public know that general disapproval over that incident of murder caused approximately half of all the Masons in the northern jurisdiction of the United States to secede. Copies of the minutes of the meeting held to discuss that matter are still in existence in safe hands and that all that secrecy emphasizes the power of the masterminds of the Illuminati to prevent such terrible events of history from being taught in our schools. In the early 1850’s; the Illuminati held a secret meeting in New York which was addressed by a British Illuminist named Wright. Those in attendance were told that the Illuminati was organizing to unite the Nihilist and Atheist groups with all other subversive groups into an international group to be known as Communists. That was when the word: “communist” first came into being and it was intended to be the supreme weapon and scare word to terrify the whole world and drive the terrorized peoples into the Illuminati one-world scheme. This scheme: “communism,” was to be used to enable the Illuminati to foment future wars and revolutions. Clinton Roosevelt, a direct ancestor of Franklin Roosevelt; Horace Greeley; and Charles Dana; foremost newspaper publishers of that time were appointed to head a committee to raise funds for the new venture. Of course, most of the funds were provided by the Rothschilds and this fund was used to finance Karl Marx and Engels when they wrote “Das Kaptial” and the “Communist Manifesto” in Soho, England. And this clearly reveals that communism is not a so-called ideology, but a secret weapon; a bogy man word to serve the purpose of the Illuminati. Weishaupt died in 1830; but prior to his death, he prepared a revised version of the age-old conspiracy, the Illuminati, which under various aliases was to organize, finance, direct, and control all international organizations and groups by working their agents into executive positions at the top. In the United States we have Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, William Fulbright, George Bush etc., as prime examples. In addition, while Karl Marx was writing the “Communist Manifesto” under the director of one group of Illuminists, Professor Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University was writing the antithesis under the direction of another group. The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger members of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other. And particularly, to destroy all political and religious institutions. The work Ritter started was continued after his death and completed by the German so-called philosopher Freidrich Wilhelm Nietzache who founded Nietzscheanism. This Nietzecheanism was later developed into Fascism and then into Nazism and was used to foment World War I and II. In 1834; the Italian revolutionary leader, Guiseppe Mazzini, was selected by the Illuminati to direct their revolutionary program throughout the world. He served in that capacity until he died in 1872, but some years before he died; Mazzini had enticed an American General named Albert Pike into the Illuminati. Pike was fascinated by the idea of a one-world government and ultimately he became the head of this luciferian conspiracy. Between 1859 and 1871 he, Pike, worked out a military blueprint for three world wars and various revolutions throughout the world which he considered would forward the conspiracy to its final stage in the 20th century. Again I remind you that these conspirators were never concerned with immediate success. They also operated on a long-range view. Pike did most of his work in his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. But a few years later; when the Illuminati’s Lodges of the Grand Orient became suspect and repudiated because of Mazzini’s revolutionary activities in Europe, Pike organized what he called the New and Reformed Palladian Right. He set up three Supreme Councils; one in Charleston, South Carolina, one in Rome, Italy, and a third in Berlin, Germany. He had Mazzini establish 23 subordinate councils in strategic locations throughout the world. These have been the secret headquarters of the world revolutionary movement ever since. Long before Marconi invented the radio; the scientists in the Illuminati had found the means for Pike and the heads of his councils to communicate secretly. It was the discovery of that secret that enabled intelligence officers to understand how apparently unrelated incidents, such as the assassination of an Austrian Prince [Arch Duke Ferdinand I ] at Serbia, took place simultaneously throughout the world which developed into a war or a revolution. Pike’s plan was as simple as it has proved effective. It called for Communism, Nazism, political Zionism, and other international movements to be organized and used to foment three global world wars and at least two major revolutions. The First World War was to be fought so as to enable the Illuminati to destroy Czarism in Russia, as vowed by Rothschild after the Czar had torpedoed his scheme at the Congress in Vienna, and to transform Russia into a stronghold of atheistic communism. The differences stirred up by agents of the Illuminati between the British and German Empires were to be used to foment this war. After the war would be ended; communism was to be built up and used to destroy other governments and weaken religions. World War II, when and if necessary, was to be fomented by using the controversies between Fascists and political zionists, and here let it be noted that Hitler was financed by Krupp, the Warburgs, the Rothschilds, and other internationalist bankers and that the slaughter of the supposed 600,000 Jews by Hitler didn’t bother the Jewish internationalist bankers at all. That slaughter was necessary in order to create worldwide hatred of the German people and thus bring about war against them. In short; this second world war was to be fought to destroy nazism and increase the power of political zionism so that the state of Israel could be established in Palestine. During this World War II; international communism was to be built up until it equalled in strength to that of the united Christendom. When it reached that point; it was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social cataclysm. As we know now; Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin put that exact policy into effect and Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and George Bush continued that same exact policy. World War III is to be fomented by using the so-called controversies, the agents of the Illuminati operating under whatever new name, as are now being stored up between the political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. That war is to be directed in such a manner that all of Islam and political Zionism (Israel) will destroy each other while at the same time; the remaining nations once more divided on this issue will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion; physically, mentally, spiritually, and economically. Now, can any thinking person doubt that the intrigue now going on in the near Middle and far East is designed to accomplish that satanic objective? Albert Pike himself foretold all this in a statement he made to Mazzini on August 15, 1871. Pike stated that after World War III is ended; those who will aspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known. Quoting his own words taken from the letter he wrote to Mazzini and which letter is now catalogued in the British Museum in London, England; he said: “We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view. A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both ! conquered and exterminated at the same time.” When Mazzini died in 1872; Pike made another revolutionary leader named Adrian Lemmy; his successor. Lemmy, in turn, was succeeded by Lenin and Trotsky, then by Stalin. The revolutionary activities of all those men were financed by British, French, German, and American international bankers; all of them dominated by the House of Rothschilds. We are supposed to believe that the international bankers of today, like the money changers of Christ’s day, are only the tools or agents of the great conspiracy, but actually they are the masterminds behind all the mass communications media leading us into believing that communism is a movement of the so-called workers; the actual fact is that both British and American intelligence officers have authentic documentary evidence that international liberals, operating through their international banking houses; particularly the House of Rothschilds, have financed both sides of every war and revolution since 1776. Those who today comprise the conspiracy (the CFR in the United States); direct our governments whom they hold in usury through such methods as the Federal Reserve System in America to fight wars, such as Vietnam (created by the United Nations), so as to further Pike’s Illuminati plans to bring the world to that stage of the conspiracy when atheistic communism and the whole of Christianity can be forced into an all out third world war within each remaining nation as well as on an international basis scale. The headquarters of the great conspiracy in the late 1700’s was in Frankfurt, Germany where the House of Rothschild had been established by Mayar (or Mayer) Amschel who adopted the Rothschild name and linked together other international financiers who had literally sold their souls to the devil. After the Bavarian government’s exposure in 1786; the conspirators moved their headquarters to Switzerland then to London. Since World War II (after Jacob Schiff, the Rothschild’s boy in America died); the headquarters of the American branch has been in the Harold Pratt Building in New York City and the Rockefellers, originally proteges of Schiff, have taken over the manipulation of finances in America for the Illuminati. In the final phases of the conspiracy; the one-world government will consist of the king-dictator; the head of the United Nations, the CFR, and a few billionaires, economists, and scientists who have proved their devotion to the great conspiracy. All others are to be integrated into a vast conglomeration of mongrolized humanity; actually slaves. Now let me show you how our federal government and the American people have been sucked into the one-world take over plot of the Illuminati great conspiracy and always bear in mind, that the United Nations was created to become the housing for that one-world, so-called, liberal conspiracy. The real foundations of the plot of the takeover of the United States were laid during the period of our Civil War. Not that Weishaupt and the earlier masterminds had ever overlooked the new world, as I have previously indicated; Weishaupt had his agents planted over here as far back as the Revolutionary War, but George Washington was more than a match for them.   Part 2   It was during the Civil War that the conspirators launched their first concrete efforts. We know that Judah Benjamin, chief advisor of Jefferson Davis, was a Rothschild agent. We also know that there were Rothschild agents planted in Abraham Lincoln’s cabinet who tried to sell him into a financial dealing with the House of Rothschild. But old Abe saw through the scheme and bluntly rejected it thereby incurring the undying enmity of the Rothschilds; exactly as the Russian Czar did when he torpedoed their first League of Nations at the Congress in Vienna. Investigation of the assassination of Lincoln revealed that the assassin John Wilkes Booth was a member of a secret conspiratorial group . Because there were a number of highly important government officials involved; the name of the group was never revealed and it became a mystery; exactly as the assassination of Jack Kennedy is still a mystery. But I am sure it will not remain a mystery for long. Anyway; the ending of the Civil War destroyed temporarily all chances of the House of Rothschilds to get a clutch on our money system; such as they had acquired in Britain and other nations in Europe. I say temporarily because the Rothschilds and the masterminds of the conspiracy never quit so they had to start from scratch; but they lost no time in getting started. Jacob H. Schiff Shortly after the Civil War; a young immigrant, who called himself Jacob H. Schiff, arrived in New York. Jacob was a young man with a mission for the House of Rothschild. Jacob was the son of a Rabbi who was born in one of the Rothschild’s houses in Frankfurt, Germany. I will not go deeply into his background. The important point was that Rothschild recognized in him not only a potential money wizard; but more important, he also saw the latent Machiavellian qualities in Jacob that could, as it did, make him an invaluable functionary in the great one-world conspiracy. After a comparatively brief training period in the Rothschild’s London Bank; Jacob left for America with instructions to buy into a banking house which was to be the springboard to acquire control of the money system of the United States. Actually; Jacob came here to carry out four specific assignments. 1. The most important, was to acquire control of America’s money system.2. Find desirable men, who for a price, would be willing to serve as stooges for the great conspiracy and    promote them into high places in our     federal government, our Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court, and all  federal agencies.3. Create minority group strife throughout the nations; particularly between the whites and blacks.4. Create a movement to destroy religion in the United States; but Christianity to be the chief target. Earlier I stated that Jacob Schiff came to America with orders by Rothschild to carry out four specific directives. The first and most important one was to get control of the United States’ money system. Let’s trace Schiff’s step to accomplish that directive. As a first step he had to buy into a banking house; but it had to be the kind of a house that he could absolutely control and mold for that primary objective of entrapping our U.S. money system. After carefully scouting around; Jacob bought a partnership in a firm that called itself: Kuhn and Loeb. Like Schiff; Kuhn and Loeb were immigrants from German Jewish ghettos. They came to the U.S. in the mid 1840’s and both of them started their business careers as itinerant pack peddlers. In the early 1850’s; they pooled their interests and set up a merchandise store in Lafayette, Indiana under the firm name of Kuhn and Loeb servicing the covered wagon settlers on their way west. In the years that followed; they set up similar stores in Cincinnati and St. Louis. Then they added pawn broking to their merchandising pursuits. From that to money lending was a short and quick step. By the time Schiff arrived on the scene; Kuhn and Loeb was a well-known private banking firm and this is the firm Jacob bought into. Shortly after he became a partner in Kuhn and Loeb; Schiff married Loeb’s daughter, Teresa, then he bought out Kuhn’s interests and moved the firm to New York and Kuhn and Loeb became Kuhn, Loeb, and Company; international bankers with Jacob Schiff, agent of the Rothschilds, ostensibly the sole owner. And throughout his career; this blend of Judas and Machiavelli, the first heirarch of the Illuminati’s great conspiracy in America, posed as a generous philanthropist and a man of great holiness; the cover-up policy set forth by the Illuminati. As I have stated; the first great step of the conspiracy was to be the entrapment of our money system. To achieve that objective; Schiff had to get full cooperation of the then big banker elements in America; and that was easier said than done. Even in those years; Wall Street was the heart of the American money mart and J.P. Morgan was its dictator. Next in line were the Drexels and the Biddles of Philadelphia. All the other financiers, big and little, danced to the music of those three houses; but particularly to that of Morgan. All of those three were proud, haughty, arrogant potentates. For the first few years; they viewed the little bewhiskered man from the German ghettos with utter contempt; but Jacob knew how to overcome that. He threw a few Rothschild bones to them. Said bones being distribution in America of desirable European stock and bond issues. Then he discovered that he had a still more potent weapon in his hands in the following. It was in the decades following our Civil War that our industries began to burgeon. We had great railroads to build. The oil, mining, steel, textile industries were bursting out of their swaddling clothes. All of that called for vast financing; much of that financing had to come from abroad. That meant the House of Rothschild and that was when Schiff came into his own. He played a very crafty game. He became the patron saint of John D. Rockefeller, Edward R. Harriman, and Andrew Carnegie. He financed the Standard Oil Company for Rocky, the Railroad Empire for Harriman, and the Steel Empire for Carnegie. But instead of hogging all the other industries for Kuhn, Loeb, and Company, he opened the doors of the House of Rothschild to Morgan, Biddle, and Drexel. In turn; Rothschild arranged the setting up of London, Paris, European and other branches for those three; but always in partnerships with Rothschild subordinates and Rothschild made it very clear to all those men that Schiff was to be the boss in New York. Thus at the turn of the century Schiff had a tight control of the entire banking fraternity on Wall Street which by then, with Schiff’s help, included Lehman brothers, Goldman-Sachs, and other internationalist banks that where headed by men chosen by the Rothschilds. In short; that meant control of the nation’s money powers and he was then ready for the giant step – the entrapment of our national money system. Now under our Constitution; all control of our money system is vested solely in our Congress. Schiff’s next important step was to seduce our Congress to betray that Constitutional edict by surrendering that control to the hierarchy of the Illuminati’s great conspiracy. In order to legalize that surrender and thus make the people powerless to resist it, it would be necessary to have Congress enact special legislation. To accomplish that; Schiff would have to infiltrate stooges into both houses of Congress. Stooges powerful enough to railroad Congress into passing such legislation. Equally or even more important; he would have to plant a stooge in the White House a president that is without integrity and without scruples who would sign that legislation into law. To accomplish that he had to get control of either the Republican or the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was the more vulnerable; it was the hungrier of the two parties. Except for Grover Cleveland; the Democrats had been unable to land one of their men in the White House since before the Civil War. There were two reasons for that: 1. Poverty of the Party. There were considerably more Republican-minded voters than Democrats. The poverty matter was not a great problem, but the voter problem was a different story. But as I previously said; Schiff was a smart cookie. Here is the atrocious and murderous method he employed to solve that voter problem. His solution emphasizes how very little the Jewish internationalist bankers care about their own racial brethren as you shall see. Suddenly; around 1890, there broke out a nationwide series of pogroms in Russia. Many, many, thousands of innocent Jews; men, women, and children were slaughtered by the Cossacks and other peasants. Similar pogroms with similar slaughter of innocent Jews broke out in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. All those pogroms were fomented by Rothschild agents. As a result; the Jewish terrified refugees from all of those nations swarmed into the United States and that continued throughout the next two or three decades because the pogroms were continuous through all those years. All those refugees were aided by self-styled humanitarian committees set up by Schiff, the Rothschilds, and all the Rothschild affiliates. In the main; the refugees streamed into New York, but the Schiff-Rothschild humanitarian committees found ways to shuffle many of them into other large cities such as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles, etc.. All of them were quickly transformed into “naturalized citizens” and educated to register as Democrats. Thus all of that so-called minority group became solid Democratic voter blocks in their communities all controlled and maneuvered by their so-called benefactors. And shortly after the turn of the century; they became vital factors in the political life of our nation. That was one of the methods Schiff employed to plant men like Nelson Aldrich in our Senate and Woodrow Wilson in the White House. 2. Racial Strife. At this point let me remind you of another one of the important jobs that was assigned to Schiff when he was dispatched to America. I refer to the job of destroying the unity of the American people by creating minority group and racial strife. By the pogrom-driven Jewish refugees into America; Schiff was creating a ready-made minority group for that purpose. But the Jewish people, as a whole, made fearful by the pogroms, could not be depended upon to create the violence necessary to destroy the unity of American people. But right within America; there was an already made-to-order, although as yet, a sleeping minority group, the Negroes, who could be sparked into so-called demonstrations, rioting, looting, murder, and every other type of lawlessness – all that was necessary, was to incite and arouse them. Together; those two minority groups, properly maneuvered, could be used to create exactly the King of Strife in America the Illuminati would need to accomplish their objective. Thus at the same time that Schiff and co-conspirators were laying their plans for the entrapment of our money system; they were also perfecting plans to hit the unsuspecting American people with an explosive and terrifying racial upheaval that would tear the people into hate fractions and create chaos throughout the nation; especially on all college and university campuses; all protected by Earl Warren decisions and our so-called leaders in Washington D.C. (Remember the Warren commission on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy). Of course, perfecting those plans require time and infinitely patient organizing. Jack Kennedy, during his term of office as the President of the United States, became a Christian. In his attempt to repent, he tried to inform the people of this Nation (at least twice) that the Office of the President of the United States was being manipulated by the Illuminati/CFR. At the same time, he put a stop to the ‘borrowing’ of Federal Reserve Notes from the Federal Reserve Bank and began issuing United States Notes (which was interest free) on the credit of the United States. It was the issuing of the United States Notes that caused Jack Kennedy to be assassinated. Upon the taking the Oath of Office; Lyndon B. Johnson stopped the issuing of the United States Notes and went back to borrowing Federal Reserve Bank Notes (which was loaned to the people of the United States at the going rate of interest of 17%). The US Notes, that was issued under John F. Kennedy, was of the 1963 series which beared a “Red” seal on the face of the Note. Now to remove all doubts; I’ll take a few moments to give you the documentary proof of this racial strife plot. First of all they had to create the leadership and organizations to draw in millions of dupes, both Jewish and Negroes, who would do the demonstrating and commit the rioting, looting, and lawlessness. So in 1909; Schiff, the Lehmans, and other conspirators, organized and set up the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People known as the “NAACP.” The presidents, directors, and legal councils of the NAACP were always “white men Jews” appointed by Schiff and this is the case to this very day. Then in 1913; the Schiff group organized the Anti-defamation League of the B’nai B’rith commonly known as the “ADL” to serve as the gestapo and hatchet man outfit for the entire great conspiracy. Today the sinister ADL maintains over 2,000 agencies in all parts of our country and they advise and completely control every action of the NAACP or of the Urban League of all the other so-called Negro civil rights organizations throughout the nation including such leaders as Martin Luther King, Stockely Carmichael, Barnard Rustin, and others of the ilk.           Part 3   By 1917 the conspirators had achieved their primary objective; all of Europe was in a state of destitution. All the peoples were war weary and crying for peace and the outcome too was all set. It was to come as soon as the United States would be hurled on the side of the Allies and that was all set to happen immediately after Wilson’s re-election. After that, there could be only one outcome; complete victory for the Allies. To fully confirm my statement that long before 1917; the conspiracy, headed in America by Jacob Schiff, had it all set to hurl the United States into that war. I will cite the proof. When Wilson was campaigning for re-election in 1916; his chief appeal was: “re-elect the man who will keep your sons out of the war.” But during that same campaign; the Republican Party publicly charged that Wilson had long committed himself to throw us into the war. They charged that if he would be defeated he would accomplish that act during his few remaining months in office; but if re-elected, he would hold off until after the election. But at that time the American people looked upon Wilson as a “God-man.” Well; Wilson was re-elected and as per the schedule of the conspirators; he hurled us into the war in 1917. He used the sinking of the Lusitania as an excuse; a sinking which also was prearranged. Roosevelt, also a God-man in the eyes of the American people, followed the same technique in 1941 when he used the prearranged Pearl Harbor attack as his excuse for hurling us into World War II. Now exactly as the conspirators planned; victory for the Allies would eliminate all the Monarchs of the defeated Nations and leave all their people leaderless, confused, bewildered and perfectly conditioned for the one-world government. The great conspiracy intended would follow; but there still would be an obstacle; the same obstacle that had balked the Illuminati and Rothschild at that Congress in Vienna (peace gathering) after the Napoleonic Wars. Russia would be on the winning side this time as it was in 1814 and therefore the Czar would be securely seated on his throne. Here it is pertinent to note that Russia, under the Czarist regime, had been the one country in which the Illuminati had never made any headway nor had the Rothschilds ever been able to infiltrate in their banking interests thus a winning Czar would be more difficult than ever to cope with. Even if he could be enticed into a so-called “League of Nations;” it was a foregone conclusion that he would never, but never, go for a one-world government. So even before the outbreak of World War I, the conspirators had a plan in the making to carry out Nathan Rothschild’s vow of 1814 to destroy the Czar and also murder all possible royal heirs to the throne and it would have to be done before the close of the war. The Russian Bolsheviks were to be their instruments in this particular plot. From the turn of the century; the chiefs of the Bolsheviks were Nicolai Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and later Joseph Stalin. Of course, those were not their true family names. Prior to the outbreak; Switzerland became their haven. Trotsky’s headquarters was on the lower East Side in New York; largely the habitat of Russian-Jewish refugees. Both Lenin and Trotsky were similarly bewhiskered and unkempt. In those days, that was the badge of Bolshevism. Both lived well yet neither had a regular occupation. Neither had any visible means of support, yet both always had plenty of money. All those mysteries were solved in 1917. Right from the outset of the war; strange and mysterious goings on were taking place in New York. Night after night; Trotsky darted furtively in and out of Jacob Schiff’s palace mansion and in the dead of those same nights there were a gathering of hoodlums of New York’s lower East Side. All of them Russian refugees at Trotsky’s headquarters and all were going through some mysterious sort of training process that was all shrouded in mystery. Nobody talked; although it did leak out that Schiff was financing all of Trotsky’s activities. Then suddenly Trotsky vanished and so did approximately 300 of his trained hoodlums. Actually they were on the high seas in a Schiff-chartered ship bound for a rendezvous with Lenin and his gang in Switzerland. And also on that ship was $20,000,000 in gold; the $20,000,000 was provided to finance the Bolsheviks takeover of Russia. In anticipation of Trotsky’s arrival; Lenin prepared to throw a party in his Switzerland hideaway. Men of the very highest places in the world were to be guests at that party. Among them were the mysterious Colonel Edward Mandell House, Woodrow Wilson’s mentor and palsy-walsy, and more important; Schiff’s special and confidential messenger. Another of the expected guests was Warburg of the Warburg Banking Clan in Germany who was financing the Kaiser and whom the Kaiser had rewarded by making him chief of the Secret Police of Germany. In addition; t

  Littérature sans Frontières est une chronique de Pierre Guelff. Pour présenter cette chronique intitulée « 100 mots pour contrer la rumeur », je paraphrase quelque peu le titre de l'ouvrage « Les 100 mots de la franc-maçonnerie » d'Alain Bauer, ancien Grand maître du Grand Orient de France, et de Roger Dachez, président de l'Institut maçonnique de France, […]

Nous sommes de retour des vacances du temps des fêtes! Cette semaine notre équipe reprends avec force et vigueur pour discuter du Rite Français au Québec avec notre frère Yves V. du Grand Orient du Québec. Le Rite français, ou Rite français moderne , ou encore Rite moderne est un rite maçonnique constitué par le Grand Orient de France en 1783-1786 sous le nom […] The post Émission #05 – Rite Français, GODF et GODQ first appeared on Sous le Bandeau.

In this episode, Eric and Jason talk with Heather D. Fulton, a member of Le Droit Humain. Le Droit Humain is a coed form of Freemasonry that is recognized by the Grand Orient de France, and while much smaller than our mainstream English style Freemasonry, they are just as active as our system. Heather was a lot of fun to talk to, and we think this was a conversation you won't want to miss.

On Thursday April 30th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on the quasi-Masonic Rite of Memphis, sometimes called the Rite of Memphis and Misraim which is highly irregular in orthodox Masonic circles and is usually considered a Clandestine (unrecognized and proscribed) organization to which regular Masons cannot belong. This collection of rites or degrees (96 of them) has a long and colorful history which we will delve into consulting Mackey, Calvin C. Brut, John Yarker and Allen Greenfield. In the 1880's the Rite of Memphis infiltrated the Scottish Rites Northern Jurisdiction and went into competition with Scottish Rite itself to see which system would become an accepted Advanced (Red Lodge) along with York Rite for regular American Masons. Scottish Rite's 33 degree system won the turf war, with Albert Pike's help and the Rite of M&M disappeared into the College of defunct Masonic Rites (yes there is such an institution). The same thing had happened to it in France a hundred years earlier when the Grand Orient absorbed it and locked it up in their archives -- but the M&M is not easily suppressed. Its founder, after signing it over to the Grand Orient, sneaked it into Moldavia (one of Dracula's hang outs) and it briefly rose again. Recently Masonic mavericks Allen Greenfield and Jeff Peace have tried to resurrect it here in the United States. Jeff Peace tried to get a number of regular Masons who were interested in the esoteric involved in M&M, at their peril. So if you would like to explore a delightfully conspiratorial and deliciously controversial secret society that claims to have "All the Secrets of ancient Masonry and certainly enough of its degrees" then tune in and we'll sail up the Nile to the Pyramids.
