Mayer Amschel Rothschild: the Architect of the Illuminati

Freemasons – Knights of Malta – Skull and Bones

The secret societies in early times required secrecy mainly to avoid persecution by the church.

Today secret societies are common public knowledge ever since around the 17th century, but secrecy is still maintained between the members from non-members, and within the order, the higher degrees do not share the knowledge of what they have been initiated into with the lower degrees, primarily because the teachings are based on a sequential structure and unfoldment of knowledge that is built upon what is learned in each successive degree.

A possible analogy would be that, it would not make sense that you would share advanced calculus with someone just starting to learn basic algebra, you need to learn in steps in order to build upon your knowledge.

Such is the structure of degrees within organizations such as the Freemason and Rosicrucian orders, of which members from both societies originally founded the United States and both claim to derive the origin their teachings from the ancient Egyptian mystery schools during the time of Akhenaten.

You can see the Egyptian symbolism of this represented by both orders.

Within some secret societies you are bound by an extreme blood oath to never reveal their secrets.

The highest level a Mason can ascend to by learning and earning his way up the Masonic pyramid is the 32nd Degree.

After that you must be chosen to the next level, the highest degree is the 33rd Degree of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry. In other words, you can only be specially selected to become a 33° Scottish Rite Freemason.

The 33rd degree is an honorary and highest degree of the Scottish Rite Freemasons

“The initiate into the order’s beginning or First Degree of the Blue Lodge pledged to ‘binding myself under no less penalty than to have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in 24 hours.’ The penalties in higher degrees grew progressively more gruesome.” – Jim Marrs, “Rule by Secrecy” and that is only the 1st degree, at the highest degrees you don’t let out the secrets.

There are millions of Freemasons around the world and are publicly stated to focus on bringing out virtuous characteristics in men, as the Freemasons say to “make good men better”.

But it is believed by some that these lower degrees are on the outer circle and excluded from the knowledge and workings of the highest degrees within the inner circle, whose agenda is kept secret from these lower level degrees and the public, similar to a pyramidal compartmentalized military chain-of-command structure.

So that the lower level masons pledge that they will follow the orders of higher degree masons, stating ‘I do promise that I will obey all summonses given to me from the hand of a brother Master Mason.’

So those who have obtained the 33° would be in the position to direct and give orders to any lower degree masons.

Since what secret societies do remain secret, it is almost impossible to associate the workings of a given agenda by these high level Freemasons, whose names keep coming up for world leaders, US presidents, CIA directors, astronauts, generals, movie directors etc. in other words, the people who have been the most influential in history and help to form our perception of the world, as well many who seem to also be involved with the covert operations in relationship to the extraterrestrial issue.

Is it just highly coincidental that so many historically significant names are also high level Freemasons?, or are these indicators of an orchestrated very old long range plan that has been initiated, in which only the select few within the higher levels of Freemasonry share in a common knowledge and agenda?

In regards to having to deal with, and understand the interactions with the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

It would naturally seem to greatly facilitate one to have a working understanding of the mechanisms of consciousness and the structure of the space/ time reality we live in, along with the corresponding development of several faculties such as telepathy when dealing with an advanced race.

In the highest degrees of the secret societies, this is taught based on the teachings of consciousness derived from the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, and would seem appropriate therefore for those of the higher degrees to have involvement.

It is interesting to note the US presidents, world leaders and others in highly influential positions in the world that belong to the Masonic Order and which many also happen to be connected to royal bloodlines.

In fact it is said that only two U.S. Presidents: Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, were not either Masons or elite members of affiliated bodies, and both of these non-Freemason presidents were assassinated, then replaced with a Freemason president.

Lincoln assassinated by John Wilkes Booth a 33° Freemason and Kennedy’s assassination was determined by the Warren commission members, that included Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, Commission spokesman Gerald Ford and former CIA director Allen Dulles, who Kennedy fired for his suspicious activities, were all 33° Freemasons that determined Lee Harvey Oswald, who claimed himself to be a patsy, was the lone gunman responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy.

This is 33° Freemason flag that Buzz Aldrin 33° Freemason unfurled on the Moon on July 21, 1969, when he stated “our flags” were being planted on the lunar surface.

Here are a few references to the name listings of Freemasons. Note I do not have the resources to verify the exact accuracy of all of these listings.

After all they are online so there may even be some disinformation in the mix.

Again these are only broad indicators in seeking a pattern of association with secret society members and their relationship to activities and decisions that have directed the course of events and significant influences in the world.

Besides the esoteric type “secret societies” it is also interesting to see which members are also members of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) Trilateral Commission and the Bohemian Club(B/C) whose agendas are also done in secrecy from the public.

On a personal note my grandfather and his father, both American doctors who graduated from Yale, were of the highest 33rd & 32nd degrees in the Scottish Rite Freemason order.

The only record of any ties of our family to royal bloodlines is that my great grandmother who came from the high Pyrenees mountains of France, was the daughter of the French Duke and Duchess of the House of Savoy, one of the oldest royal families in the world.

What all this means, I have no idea, as unfortunately I know little of this mysterious side our family history or my grandfather, as he died early after his trip to Los Angeles after living many years in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Records I’ve searched for extensively have been difficult to obtain.

Not personally being a 33° Freemason, all that one can do is speculate based on the external indicators of the activities associated with high level Freemasons.

In regards to the esoteric studies of another secret society whose members were also involved in the forming of the United States, the Rosicrucian Order.

I can say that I personally studied their teachings and have been a member since 1976 with the order, which has a deep understanding based on these ancient mystery school teachings related to consciousness, something that is not unfortunately taught in public schools.

Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis otherwise known as the Rosicrucians

(Note: personally I stay strictly universal and not associate or affiliate myself with any particular belief system or religion on this planet, seeking truth in all areas of knowledge supported by evidence and reasonable logic, as well as what resonates intuitively.

In truth we must always remain open and humble to knowing we still know little compared to how much we have yet to learn)

Personally I have not witnessed anything but benevolent teachings and philosophy in the higher degrees of the Rosicrucian order, but it is believed by some that this cabal control group associated with the Nazi faction and banking elite, work to enlist those from the highest inner circle levels within the secret societies such as the 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemasons, Knights of Malta and the Yale Skull and Bones society, of which three generations of the Bush family beginning with Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were all members.

Skull and Bones Society
Originally Chapter 322 of a German Secret Society

The connection of activities with this cabal control group of course is hard to be verified, since what some secret societies do obviously remains secret because the members have been sworn to a “blood oath” of secrecy, therefore such an existing organization infiltrated could act as a perfect cover to conceal its secret agenda.

We do know that President Kennedy warned about the dangers of secret societies and of secrecy itself saying:

“The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.”

If indeed the higher levels of Freemasonry were ever to be infiltrated by a group with an ulterior agenda seeking extreme secrecy, it would serve that secrecy well due to the several levels of indoctrination and initiation so that at in the higher degrees the commitment to maintain and keep a secret between members would be extremely high.

The majority of members of the uninitiated lower degrees with their outward benign activities to the public would act as a perfect cover for this inner circle.

So let’s jump back in time out of the 20th century temporarily to look the influences that may have infiltrated within these secret societies…

1770 – Rothschild the Architect of the Illuminati

Mayer Amschel Rothschild originally drew up the plans for the creation of the Illuminati and entrusted Adam Weishaupt, who officially completed this organization of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776.

The purpose of the Illuminati is to divide the goyim (all non-Jews) through political, economic, social, and religious means.

The opposing sides were to be armed and incidents were to be provided in order for them to:  fight amongst themselves; destroy national governments; destroy religious institutions; and eventually destroy each other.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Weishaupt soon infiltrates the Continental Order of Freemasons with this Illuminati doctrine and establishes lodges of the Grand Orient to be their secret headquarters.

This was all under the orders and finance of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and the concept has spread and is followed within Masonic Lodges worldwide to the present day.

Weishaupt also recruits 2,000 paid followers including the most intelligent men in the field of arts and letters, education, science, finance,and industry.

They were instructed to follow the following methods in order to control people:

1)  Use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of men already in high places, in the various levels of all governments and other fields of endeavour.

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.

2)  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, or rather the notion that only a one-world government can put an end to recurring wars and strife.

Such training was to be provided by granting scholarships to those selected by the Illuminati.

3)  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.

This was 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.

4)  To obtain absolute-control of the press, at that time the only mass-communications media which distributed information to the public, so that all news and information could be slanted in order to make the masses believe that a one-world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems.

The infiltration of the Bavarian Illuminati into Freemasonry

1776 MAY 1- Adam Weishaupt, Freemason and founder of the Bavarian Illuminati which infiltrated into Freemasonry makes this revealing statement:

“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation.

None is better than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it.

Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands.

By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labours, we may turn the public mind which way we will.”

Adam Weishaupt

1784 – Adam Weishaupt issues his order for the French Revolution to be started by Maximilien Robespierre in book form.

This book was written by one of Weishaupt’s associates, Xavier Zwack, and sent by courier from Frankfurt to Paris.

However en route there, the courier is struck by lightning, the book detailing this plan discovered by the police, and handed over to the Bavarian authorities.

The courier struck and killed by lightning revealing the book he was carrying to Paris of the Illuminati’s plan

As a consequence, the Bavarian government orders the police to raid Weishaupt’s masonic lodges of the Grand Orient, and the homes of his most influential associates.

Clearly, the Bavarian authorities were convinced that the book that was discovered was a very real threat by a private group of influential people, to use wars and revolutions to achieve their political ends.

1785 – The Bavarian government outlaw the Illuminati and close all the Bavarian lodges of the Grand Orient.

1786 – The Bavarian government publish the details of the Illuminati plot in a document entitled, “The Original Writings of The Order and Sect of The Illuminati.”

They then send this document to all the heads of church and state throughout Europe, but sadly their warning is ignored.

Due to the European ignorance of the Bavarian government’s warning, the Illuminati’s plan for a French Revolution succeeded and their influence spread.

“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping people ignorant”

~ Maximilien Robespierre – The most influential figure of the French Revolution.

1790 – Mayer Amschel Rothschild states: “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”

1791 – The Rothschilds get, “control of a nation’s money,” through Alexander Hamilton (Rothschild’s agent in George Washington’s cabinet) when they set up a central bank in the USA with a 20 year charter, called the First Bank of the United States.

This was opposed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

If you are inclined, you can read further into the time line of how the Rothchild Illuminati influenced Freemasonry, using it as a cover to hide their covert operations to manipulate the populace’s perceptions while they secretly achieved their goals, and succeeded to expanded their sphere of influence into the United States and the world to present day.

“The law records show that they [the Rothschilds] were the power in the old Bank of the United States”
– Author Gustavus Myers

“… 5. In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the Press. …. to express and to create discontent. … and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have the Gold in our hands…. ”
– Protocols of the Elders of Zion, written 1897

Related: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion — Probably Wrote by the Rothschilds

“You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse.

“It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

It is important to realize that the various names of Naziism, Bolshevism, Neo-Bolshevism, World Zionism, and Rothschild Khazarianism are all the same thing and that all of them were started by the Rothschild (Khazarian Mafia) working out of the City of London Financial District, a private bankers nation. Ref

Today in 2017 the Rothchild family is the wealthiest family on Earth. They are estimated to be worth over $500 Trillion and run the central bank in every country except North Korea, Iran and Cuba

in 2000 four other countries were on that list. Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya. Through invasion and infiltration the indications are that the United States was used as their instrument.

They needed an excuse to turn the US against the middle east. 9-11 proved that and the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and then Iraq in 2003.

Both Afghanistan’s and Iraq’s central banks where then put under Rothschild control. By 2011, Sudan and Libya were next using the United Nations to put these countries central banks now under Rothschild control as well. Ref

In March of 2007 General Wesley Clark revealed to the public hidden military plans in saying…

“We’re going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..” Ref Ref

2016 MAR 4 – Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told Fox News that the establishment is scared of Trump because he “didn’t belong to a secret society.”
