Merovingian Bloodline and The Black Nobility

Part I
June/28/2000 
 
This page has been prepared to provide some type of table of contents to the various items which will be included in this chapter "The Thirteenth Satanic Bloodline".

In my writings this bloodline has been interwoven into the text of many articles, but it hasn't been singled out very much.

Although a great deal has been written by this author on this final family, to pull out articles which concentrate on it solely is difficult. After assembling some pages on it, a few words of explanation were still needed.

Allow me to briefly explain those items which were selected:
  • An article on the top family that appeared in Feb. 1995 newsletter on page 73.
  • An appendix to the Be Wise As Serpents book about the British Royalty. The British Royalty are tied in with the 13th Bloodline.
  • Many of the American political leaders have been related to the British Royalty incl. George Bush and Dan Quayle. A flier from a Christian conference is included showing who the speakers are.
  • Finally, a little of the genealogical information I assembled on the Mormon leaders is given. This was included in the Be Wise As Serpentsbook to give people an idea of how the Mormon leadership ties back in with the leading occult bloodlines of the Merovingian dynasty (below chart). The chart for LDS President Albert Smith is only about 1/3 typed out. The remainder of Albert Smith's (as well as other Mormon leaders) genealogical work is in a file in some unknown box at my house.


This bloodline is harder to track because it weaves in and out of the other 12 bloodlines. There are many surnames which are part of this bloodline (including the Smith family), however I can give one very prominent one, the Sinclair family.

We know that Satan is the father of all lies, and Christ told the religions leaders who went out to destroy him that they were from the seed of Satan.
 


2nd Feature Article
THE 13TH ILLUMINATI BLOODLINE
The 13th Illuminati Bloodline is where the Anti-Christ will come from.

This bloodline believes that it has both the blood of Jesus and the blood (or seed) of Satan in its bloodline. In my Be Wise As Serpents book, I make reference to this bloodline but I never really took the time to explain it completely.

In fact I don't fully understand this bloodline myself. I encourage those who want to learn more about this bloodline to study the following books:
  • The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln, Dell Publishing Co., New York 1982.
  • The Messianic Legacy by Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln, Henry Holt and Co., New York, 1986.
  • The Temple and the Lodge by Baigent & Leigh, Arcade Publishing, New York 1989.
  • Guardians of the Grail by J. R. Church, Prophecy Publications, Oklahoma City, 1991.
  • The Anti-Christ King - Juan Carlos by Dr. Charles R. Taylor.
This bloodline is so extensive in its many branches that its membership takes in many of the Presidents of the United States, including George Bush and George Washington.

The reason that I gave the genealogies of the some of the Mormon Presidents to people back in 1991 in my Be Wise As Serpents book is that all of the Mormon Presidents in history, whether RLDS or LDS, trace their blood back to this 13th bloodline. Within the Illuminati rituals, the emphasis of the 13th bloodline is that they are the seed of Satan. As their secret story goes, they are the direct descendants of Jesus' spiritual brother Lucifer.

Since the Freeman family and the Rothschild family have members who are also in the 13th bloodline, it is unclear to me how interwoven the "seed of Satan" is.

Some of the earliest attempts to trace the seed of Satan were some books which did extensive research on the Tribe of Dan and the descendents of Cain.

"The Curse of Canaan" is an interesting book along with its mate World Order by Eustice Mullins. One of the books which I looked with difficulty for before finding it, was Gerald Massey's A Book of the Beginning (Secaucus, NJ: University Books Inc., 1974). The book goes in and shows in detail how the inhabitants of the British Isles came originally from Egypt. This is Important because (as this newsletter has always contended) the Druidism of the British Isles was simply a derivative from the Egyptian Satanic witchcraft/magic of Ancient Egypt.

The Egyptian word Makhaut (clan or family) became the Irish Maccu and the Maccu of the Donalds (clan of Donalds) now reflected in the name MacDonald. The sacred keepers of the Clan-Stone in Arran, were also known by the family name of Clan-Chattons. Another word for clan is Mack and the Clan-Chattons were also known as Mack-Intosh.

Ptah-rekh the name of the Egyptian god Ptah was passed down to us by the Druids adopting the name Patrick, which sounded similar.

St. Patricks day then is a Christianized form of a druidic holiday [Editor's note: and just as St. Patrick expelled all the snakes {which means the pagan witchcrafts} from Ireland, so the Church in celebrating St. Patrick's day removed from any former pagan feast day the paganism of that pagan feast day] which originally had its origins in Egypt. The All-Seeing Eye can be found on ancient buildings in ancient Chaldea, in ancient Greece, and in ancient Egypt. The MI-Seeing Eye represents Osiris. Osiris had debauched revelries (saturnalias) celebrated in his honor.

The temples in Arabia clear back in the time that Moses had his black father-in-law Jethro used the All-Seeing Eye to represent the false Satanic trinity of Osiris, Isis and Horus of Egypt. This MI-Seeing Eye pops up everywhere the Illuminati has been. In the Winter Palace Square in St. Petersburg, Russia is that Illuminati All-Seeing Eye on top of a pyramid.

You will also see it in the old Mexican Senate Building which is now a museum in Mexico City. You will find this on the back of our one dollar bill, and you will find the All-Seeing Eye was placed on Ethiopian stamps when they got a communist government in power.

The Illuminati is the continuation of the Mystery Religions of Babylon and Egypt. And the bloodlines of the Illuminati go back to people who at one time lived in Babylon and Egypt. Just how the House of David (the Satanic one) and the Holy Blood of the 13th family fit in with everything else in history I can't say. I'm sure it would be a big story to tell if I knew.

But I do feel that somehow the 13th Illuminati family does goes back to ancient times. Is this via the Tribe of Dan or via some Druidic bloodline or is it via the Merovingians or is it via all three.

And where do the Guelphs and Black Nobility fit into this?

 Whatever the case, the 13th bloodline has amassed a great deal of power and wealth on this planet. The 13th bloodline lacks nothing to bring forth their Anti-Christ who will appear to have all the correct credentials. I would not even be surprised if their Anti-Christ in order to appear real will expose another Anti-Christ.

The 13th bloodline has kept its genealogies very secret. I would welcome more input from informed persons about this bloodline. The tribe of Dan was prophesied to be the black sheep of the nation of Israel which would bite the other tribes of Israel. The tribe of Dan had the snake and the eagle as its two logos. The tribe of Dan left its calling card all over Europe as it migrated west in the names of many places.

The tribe of Dan ruled the Greeks, the Roman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian empire and many others which used the eagle as its logo.

Great Britain is the mother country of Satanism.1 Scotland has long been an occult center. The national symbol of Scotland is the dragon (the snake), and for years the chief of Scotland was called the dragon. The Gaelic language is an important language for Satanism, although English and French are also use extensively by the Illuminati.

The planning sessions for world takeover that some ex-Satanists experienced were held in French. The British Royal Family have long been involved with the occult. For more information on this there is a detailed examination of the Royal family and the occult in the book The Prince and the Paranormal - The Psychic Bloodline of the Royal Family by John Dale (1987).2

They have also been actively involved with Freemasonry (see the chart). British MI6 has been a major vehicle for the Satanic hierarchy working behind the secret veil of Freemasonry to control world events.3

British MI6 is the most secret intelligence organization in the world.4 (It is properly known as British Secret Service not to be confused with the U.S. agency by that name but performing a different function entirely.)

The British Royalty have served as important figureheads to British Freemasonry lending credibility and respectability. British Freemasonry has managed to keep itself free of much of the criticism that the other national Masonic groups have brought on themselves. However, much of the credibility of British Freemasonry is undeserved.

True, British Freemasonry is what it portrays itself to the public for the lower levels. But, the lower level Masons by their dues and activities are unwittingly supporting an organization that is led by Satanists at the top. An example of the subterfuge constantly exercised on the public by Freemasonry is a book purportedly written by a non-Mason entitled The Unlocked Secret Freemasonry Examined.

The book portrays itself as an unbiased and complete expose of Freemasonry. The book states unequivocally that the Masonic order called Societas Rosicrucianin Anglia is only open to Christians and is a "Christian Order".

However, Edith Star Miller reprints copies of a number of letters from the chief of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia which show that the English Grand Masonic Lodge, the SRIA, the OTO, and the German Illuminati are all working together.5

She briefly explains how she obtained the letters.

Part II
July/01/2000
 
In this, the second of a four-part study on the real rulers of the world, in which we set out to discover how it can be possible that at the close of the Gentile dispensation "Rome has acquired nearly all the supplies of gold", as prophesied by Brother Branham, we'll study the common thread between the nobility, the priesthood, and the merchants. In one word, it is "power" by privilege or right in perpetuity over the lesser beings in human society.

This concept of an arbitrarily "chosen people" is marked bold. It identifies the true authors of Nazi philosophy whom British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraelidescribed as, "the hidden hand behind government".

This common thread could also be called "the trail of the serpent" because it is a history of wisdom against faith that may be traced from the present-day "mystery Babylons" of Hollywood and Rome that have corrupted faith and morals, to Nebuchadnezar's Babylon which hybrid the faith and morals of captive Judah, and Nimrod's Babel, another scene of religious and moral impurity.

These people have two things in common. Carnality and human wisdom in place of the faith of Jesus, and the Babylonian religion, or learning. Perhaps the majority of these people are related to the serpent by blood, as well as by cunning. Computer genealogies of dynastic families uncover interesting links with other families in the past, disclosing hidden criminal interests that continue to represent the main source of income of these pillars of society to the present time.

The opium trade and usury are two such examples.

And looking at the natural, over ninety percent of those "who say they are Jews", are not. They lie because they have no kinship to Abraham, Isaac, and/or Jacob by blood. (Check Encyclopedias Judaica and Britannica, Jewish and Universal Jewish Encyclopedias.) And certainly not by faith. True Israelites who are Hebrews call them Ashkenazim or Khazars.

These people earned the title of "Black" Nobility from their ruthless lack of scruple. They employed murder, rape, kidnapping, assassination, robbery, and all manner of deceit on a grand scale, brooking no opposition to attaining their objectives. These all have immense wealth. And money is power.

The most powerful of the Black Nobility families are located in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Holland and Greece in that order. Their roots may be traced back to the Venetian oligarchs who are of Khazar extraction. They married into these royal houses in the early part of the twelfth century.

(Indeed, after a great Khazar victory over the Arabs, the future Emperor, Constantine V, married a Khazar princess. Their son became Emperor Leo IV, known asLeo the Khazar. I have read that Pope John Paul II is (was) a Khazar, but can't confirm it.)

Many of these royal families no longer have kingdoms, and not all Black Nobility are royal houses. According to author John Coleman, a "Committee of 300" from this untouchable ruling class includes Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of Holland, the Queen of Denmark and the royal families of Europe (The Black Nobility).

Documentary proof as to the existence of the "Committee of 300" is not forthcoming, and it may be no more than a convenient phrase to describe certain key players.

Socialist politician and financial adviser to the Rothschilds, Walter Rathenau, writing in the Wiener Press (24 December, 1921) said,
"Only 300 men, each of whom knows all others govern the fate of Europe. They select their successors from their own entourage. These men have the means in their hands of putting an end to the form of State which they find unreasonable."
Exactly six months after publication, Rathenau was assassinated.

Dr. Coleman's work opens the door to further studies on named members of the ruling elite, particularly in America. Whereas the English have a long history and are very aware of their ancestry, there are certain families of "blue-bloods" in the United States that have historic ties with the British through blood and money.

These "noble" families are behind most if not all of the so-called pro-environmental movements that are actually intended to curb the population growth of ALL nations. Prince Philip and Prince Charles are the most visible symbols of this movement, and are a true part of this conspiracy to destroy industry and take the world back to a New Dark Age.

Most if not all the crowned and uncrowned heads of these dynasties enjoy huge incomes from ground rents.

All favor Global 2000 Report to the President that's calculated to end all industrial progress, and by famine, disease and wars, eliminate the excess population industry supports. All oppose nuclear power that can produce clean cheap electricity, the key to economic development and prosperity in the Third World. They ardently desire a return to the feudal system where they will once again be absolute rulers.

While professing Christianity, the oligarchical families, for the greater part actually despise it in secret. Masonry provides their religious fulfillment. And without faith, they have no belief in reward or punishment and a world to come. They live for the here and now.

Many of these oligarchies are in the drug and arms trade through well-distanced intermediaries (like so many of the large banks).

The Masonic-controlled Swiss banks owe their existence to these families. In 1815 the Jesuits and their Freemason allies among the crowned heads of Europe held the Congress of Vienna, whereby Swiss neutrality (already sanctioned by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648) was forever guaranteed; and no matter how many wars are provoked in which the common man has to do the fighting, the money of the Nobility in Switzerland should always be free from plunder.

It's part of Rothschild's meticulous long-range planning, and why Switzerland exists to this day. But that doesn't mean your money would be safe. Some US$280 billion p.a. in flight capital and drug money flows into the Swiss accounts of the Black Nobility.

The place of Freemasonry in the power structure of the elites is quite evident as they carried through Adam Weishaupt's conspiracy to avenge the Jesuits after their abolition in 1773 by short-lived Pope Clement XIV as "immoral and a menace to the Church and the Faith". By launching the French Revolution and directing Napoleon's conquest of Catholic Europe, and by revolts against the church in Mexico and Latin America, they cut-off Vatican income.

Nathan Rothschild's financing of Britain resulted in the defeat of Rome's enemy Napoleon, (as well as being the source of his wealth and influence). Since Gregory XVI conferred a Papal decoration on Kalman Rothschild for loaning the Vatican five million pounds in a period of difficulty, the Rothschilds have been the fiscal agents of the Vatican.

With Vatican interests at heart, the Rothschilds extended their financial and political dominion in the United States.

The Vatican's interest in the US was clearly revealed in the secret 1822 Treaty of Verona between Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia whereby the Jesuit Order pledged itself as the price of reinstatement to destroy "the works of Satan" it had established in setting-up, by revolution, representative governments such as the republics and "democracies" of France and the USA, replacing them with the only form of government approved by the church, rule by "divine right", as declared by the Vatican (Daniel 2:42-43; Revelation 17:12-13).

As Senator Robert Owen pointed out to the US Senate in 1916, the prime target to which the Vatican and the "Holy Alliance" directed the subversive and destructive activities of the Society of Jesus, in the United States, and other republics in the Western hemisphere. This plot, he claimed, was the target at which the Monroe Doctrine was directed.

What the Senator does not realize is that the Monroe Doctrine protects the interests of The City of London.

The Rothschild-Vatican cabal unsuccessfully attempted to gain control over the power of the purse in the US through the First and Second Bank of the United States. They were established under emergency powers granted to the President by the Constitution, as temporary institutions to tide the country through the periods of financial stress occasioned by the Revolutionary and 1812 Wars. But the aims of the conspirators to establish a banking monopoly were thwarted by the Constitution. Until the FED.

It is said the Black Nobility promised a neutral Germany if Soviet Russia allowed East and West Germany to reunite. And that Russia promised to see that all royal houses are restored to the rightful heirs if they decouple Europe from the American Alliance.

Imperial nobility enjoy a more elevated status than the nobilities of the German successor states and, indeed, of the Italian states. The descendants of Italian Holy Roman Empire titles have formed an Association to which all male line descendants of someone ennobled by Imperial Patent is entitled to belong.

And the Principality of Liechtenstein has also claimed the ability to confirm a succession to Imperial titles, and has confirmed the right of a Spanish noble man to heir such a title for purposes of the Spanish law requiring the successor state to confirm that the claimant to a particular title is in fact the heir. Thus there is a remaining jurisdiction, even though no Imperial titles have been conferred since 1806.

In 1963, the Holy Roman Empire Association (Associazioni dei Nobili del Sacro Romano Impero) was established to unite male descendants in its membership who are invested with nobility of the Holy Roman Empire. It also includes a number of honorary members.

According to William Cooper's book "Behold A Pale Horse", which I am coming more and more to appreciate, all nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the Vatican for solution once the NWO is established. This I have been unable to confirm but in general, this is what will happen.

"All nations" can only refer to the Black Nobility who have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to Rome in return for the restoration of royal power under a NWO.

This was foretold in Daniel 7:20 and Revelation 17:12-13,
"The ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."
These ten horns were ten kings, represented in Daniel 2 by the ten toes of the image King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. They are the royal houses into which the old Roman Empire was divided after the fall of the last emperor Romulus Augustus, in AD 476.

They were Alemani (Germany), Franks (France), the Burgundians (Switzerland), the Suevi (Portugal), the Anglo-Saxons (Britain), the Visigoths (Spain), the Lombards (Italy), Vandals, Ostrogoths and Heruli. The last three were German tribes destroyed by the Pope for refusing to become Roman Catholic "Christians" (The False Prophet, The Beast and The Times of The Gentiles).

Although their thrones will not be returned, their royal authority as kings will be recognized by Rome so long as she rules the NWO. Revelation 17:13, "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."

This explains Brother Branham's prophecy about Rome CONTROLLING the gold:
"The whore, Mystery Babylon is seated on the beast. She is controlling the last, or fourth empire. This Roman Church is doing that. With the world church system under her, Rome will be controlling, and this image (church system) will be obedient to Rome because Rome CONTROLS the GOLD of the world. Thus all the people have to belong to the world church system or be at the mercy of the elements for they cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast in the hand or head"
(Church Ages, 376:1).
The Black Nobility belong to the "Committee of 300" that controls the UN.

Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands has the power to veto the Vatican's choice of any pope it selects. This may explain the untimely end to Pope John Paul I's 33-day pontificate. The Prince has veto power because his family, the Habsburgs, are descended directly from the last Roman emperor. (The Habsburg Frederick III was the last emperor to be crowned in Rome; his great-grandson Charles V was the last to be crowned by a pope.)

This is the civil equivalent of the Pope's claimed "apostolic succession" from Saint Peter.

Prince Bernhard is leader of the Black Families and he also claims descent from the House of David through the Merovingian dynasty, a claim that was acknowledged to be valid by the Carolingian dynasty that supplanted them, by other monarchs and by the Roman Church of that time. Thus he can truly say that he is "related to Jesus".

Prince Bernhard's House of Orange had its origins in France. The Habsburgs are related through marriage with the Merovingians, who are said to have descended from the Tribe of Benjamin who went into exile following war with the other eleven Tribes.

Exile took them to Arcadia in the central Peloponnese, Greece. Here they aligned with the Arcadian royal line and towards the advent of the Christian era, migrated up the Danube and Rhine, through marriage engendering the Sicambrian Franks - the immediate forebears of the Merovingians, who were ultimately of Semitic or Israelite origin, and descendants of King Saul.

They are identified with the Spartans, and both books of Maccabees link the Spartans with the Jews. I Maccabees 12 tells of Jonathan sending a letter to the Lacedemonians (Spartan Greeks) asking for their help, since they were brethren.

The Spartans replied,
"It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren and that they are of the stock of Abraham"
(verse 21).
It is assumed by some writers that this means the Spartans were Israelites, but the Spartans were not Israelites they were Edomites descended from Bela son of Beor and brother of Baalim, and king of Edom (Genesis 36:32; I Chronicles 1:43).

Edom was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham who sold his birthright, and bred his posterity off the Book of Life.

Early in the fifth century the Merovingians established themselves in what is now Belgium and northern France. There they adopted the Cabalistic pseudo-Christianity of the Cathars, a dualistic religion that holds there are two eternal gods, the god of Good and the god of Evil. It is revealing that this Luciferian belief is held by those who would be Masters of this world today, and who claim that Lucifer will ultimately be victorious.

Under Clovis I, who reigned from 481-511, the Franks converted to Roman Catholicism. Through him, Rome began to establish undisputed supremacy in Western Europe. In return for being the sword of Rome whereby the church would manifest her power and impose a spiritual dominion, Clovis was granted the title of "New Constantine" and to preside over a unified "Holy Roman Empire" based on the church and administered on the secular level in perpetuity by the Merovingian bloodline. Like "the sure mercies of David", this was a pact that could be modified, but not revoked, broken or betrayed.

They believe Jesus survived the cross and married Mary Magdalene who bore his son then lived in seclusion in the south of France. During the fifth century this lineage is said to have married with the royal line of the Franks engendering the Merovingian dynasty.

When in 496 the church pledged itself in perpetuity to the Merovingian bloodline it was presumably in full knowledge of their claimed identity. This would explain why Clovis was offered the status of Holy Roman Emperor, and why he was not created but only "crowned" king. In 754 the church clandestinely betrayed its pact.

The Prieure de Sion is the name of the secret order which created the Knights Templars as its military and administrative arm. (See A History of the Knights Templar and Their Involvement With the Priory of Sion - It should be remembered that the Knights Templars were the forerunners of Freemasonry.) The Prieure de Sion continues to function through the centuries, acting in the shadows, and has orchestrated certain critical events in Western history.

It exists today and is still operative. Its declared objective is the restoration of the Merovingian dynasty and bloodline - to the throne not only of France, but of other European nations as well - a restoration that is sanctioned and justifiable, both legally and morally.

There is strong evidence to suggest that this Jewish order was the author of Freemasonry, and "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion", as well as the Rosicrucians. There is abundant evidence to suggest that Nostradamus was one of their secret agents, and there is no question that numerous quatrains which refer to the advent of "Le Grand Monarch" indicate that this sovereign will ultimately derive from the Merovingian dynasty.

Implying a double hegemony of the Papacy and the Empire, of the Vatican and of the Habsburgs. He frequently referred quite explicitly to the Knights Templars and to the house of Lorraine which is now synonymous with the Habsburgs.

Although deposed in the eighth century, the Merovingian bloodline did not become extinct.

On the contrary it perpetuated itself in a direct line from Dagobert II and his son Sigisbert IV. By dint of dynastic alliances and intermarriages, this line came to include Godfroi de Bouillon, who captured Jerusalem in 1099, and various other noble and royal families, past and present - Blanchefort, Gisors, Saint-Clair (Sinclair in England), Montesquieu, Montpezat, Poher, Luisignan, Plantard and Habsburg-Lorraine. At present, the Merovingian bloodline enjoys a legitimate claim to its heritage.

The crown of Charlemagne - a replica of which is now part of the imperial Habsburg regalia - is said to have borne the inscription "Rex Salomon" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 14th Ed., 1972, Crown and Regalia, Fig. 2).

And the "Spear of Destiny", which is said to have pierced Christ reside today in the Treasure House, Vienna, awaiting another Holy Roman Emperor (The Rigby Joy of Knowledge Library. History and Culture I, 1977:160; The Holy Roman Empire, Friedrich Heer, p. 284).

It is clear why the "Protocols of the Elders of Sion" speak of a new king "of the holy seed of David" (Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln).

Otto von Habsburg is today the titular Duke of Lorraine and King of Jerusalem.
The Prieure de Sion claim to hold the lost treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem plundered by Titus in AD 70 which would be returned to Israel "when the time was right". This might explain why Rome must defer to the "kings of the earth" and how she will seal a covenant with the Jews who have long hidden behind the shield of baptism.

Prince Bernhard is in fact related to the Khazars, and therefore a Gentile.

Assisted by the CIA, Prince Bernhard has brought the hidden ruling body of the Illuminati into public knowledge as De Bilderberg Group. (Established in 1954, its headquarters is 1 Smidswater, Den Haag, Nederlands.)

At the heart of the Bilderberg Group are 39 members of the Illuminati chosen from three committees drawn from the members of all the secret groups that comprise the Illuminati:
  1. the Vatican
This committee works year round in offices in Switzerland.

The "Committee of 300" now call themselves World Government Founders for the NWO. A reference no doubt to their hereditary claim to the "Divine Right of Kings". It is imperative that we realize that privately, the Black Nobility refuse to ever recognize any government other than their own inherited and divine right to rule.

They believe the United States still belongs to England. And work diligently behind the scenes to cause conditions whereby they might regain their crowns. Every royal and so-called noble dynasty past and present of Europe have seats on the "Committee of 300", most often by nominees. There are just too many of these "royal" families for them each to have representatives on the "Committee of 300".

Precedence is determined by rank: first royal family members, then dukes, earls, marquises and lords, then finally "commoners", who usually get the title of "Sir". (Conspirator's Hierarchy: The "Committee of 300", Dr. John Coleman.)

The Order of St. John of JerusalemHospitallers, or Knights of Malta, is a Black Nobility order which operates as an agent for British Intelligence in various parts of the world, and as a cover for drug-smuggling operations, notably the drugs for diamonds part of the trade. (The Order of St. John of Jerusalem, John Coleman;Dope Inc., Senator Lyndon LaRouche.)

They have their own Constitution and are sworn to work toward the establishment of a NWO with the Pope at its head. Although the Order no longer exercises territorial control, it issues passports and its sovereign status is recognized by the Holy See and scores of Roman Catholic states. Membership in certain ranks is confined to Roman Catholics and many knights have diplomatic immunity.

The High Master of the Teutonic Knights the Grand Prior of Germany of the Order of Saint John (Malta), and the Master of the Knights of the Johanniter Order also had seats in the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire, ranking as Princes of the Empire.

On 26 November 1963, an Alliance was consolidated with the signing of a joint declaration between the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Most Venerable Order, at St. John's Gate, London. One more rapprochement between Rome and the Protestants.

Allegedly among their number are:
  • Australia's Governor General, Sir William Dean
  • NSW Police Commissioner, Peter Ryan
  • George Bush
  • Alexander Haig
  • President of Canadian Pacific, John Gilmer and co-directors W. E. McLaughlan, Chairman of the Royal Bank of Canada, J. P. W. Ostiguy, and Sir Michael Turner, ex-Chairman of Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank
  • Michael Sandberg now Chairman of the Bank
  • Charles, Sam, and Allan Bronfman
  • the late Joseph Kennedy
  • Henry Kissinger
  • Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan of the Federal Reserve
  • Colin Powell of Gulf War fame
  • James Wolfensohn of the World Bank
According to Brother Branham,
"... the church system of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant in COMING TOGETHER will CONTROL the WHOLE WEALTH of the world system and force the whole earth into its religious trap, or will kill them, by refusing them the privilege of buying and selling whereby they would make a living.

This will be accomplished simply, for the harlot's daughters are all but gone back to her. In the meantime, Rome has ACQUIRED nearly all the supplies of GOLD. The Jews have the bonds and all the paper.

At the right time, the harlot will destroy the present-day money system by calling in all the paper, and demanding gold. With no gold, the system falls. The Jews will be trapped and come into the alliance, and the harlot church will take over the whole world"
(Church Ages 314:1).
Let's talk about gold for a few minutes:
On September 30, 1931, British Prime Minister and Fabian Socialist Ramsay MacDonald, took Britain off the gold standard in obedience to the "Committee of 300".

In 1933, as one of his first presidential acts, FDR declared a banking holiday and ordered all US citizens to turn in all gold in their possession to the Treasury. Roosevelt handed over the gold supply of the USA to the privately-owned tax-exempt Federal Reserve, as the Seal of Solomon was attached to the Shield of Britannia, and the Judaistic symbol of the Serpent was placed around her Trident.

(In "Confessions of A MonopolistFrederick Howe wrote:
"These are the rules of big business. They have superseded the teaching of our parents, and are reducible to a simple maxim: Get a monopoly; let Society work for you; and remember that the best of all business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise, subsidy or tax exemption is worth more than a Kimberly or Comstock lode, since it does not require any labor, either mental or physical, for its exploitation.")
Next gold was revalued to US$35/oz, causing a dollar devaluation to 59.06% of its former gold value, and creating a profit for the US Treasury of US$2.8 billions.

In 1944, Soviet agent Harry Dexter White, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, crafted the Bretton Woods agreement that created WB, IMF and GATT. These measures robbed the US of its monetary gold. Inflation was institutionalized and a mechanism was created for US tax dollars to finance steel mills and factories world-wide to compete with American industry (unprotected by tariffs).

In 1933 the U.S. owned 40% of the gold in the world. The debt of the US in 1963, was $1.25 trillion, and gold, subject to call by foreign nations, exceeded by $16 billions, the amount on hand at Fort Knox. By 1963, it was said that the Rothschilds had withdrawn all the gold from England and the United States to their coffers in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Holland. Remember that name.

In August 15, 1971, Nixon broke with the Bretton Woods agreements so carefully devised by the Bilderbergers and other elite planners and the US went off the gold standard. In 1973, gold hit US$850, after Russia invaded Afghanistan.

In December 1975 the Group of Ten agreed the BIS could be used to purchase IMF gold for central banks that wanted it. In 1976 the IMF announced that gold would be replaced by SDR as its reserve. Since then, the IMF has been auctioning off its gold holdings.
"Somebody" has been purchasing all of this gold.

The power of our national governments was their control over exchange rates. Since this power is now in the hands of private interests like the WB and IMF, national governments have (already) fallen to the NWO.

Did you hear what I just said? FDR claimed:
"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."
GK Chesterson wrote:
"The proper study of political mankind is the study of power elites, without which nothing that happens could be understood."

"These elites, preferring to work in private, are rarely found posed for photographers, and their influence upon events has therefore to be deduced from what is known of the agencies they employ."

"Their goal was to work through such agencies, and financial support received from one or other or all three big American foundations - Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford - provides an infallible means of recognizing them."
He said in candor:
"At times Capitalism and Communism would appear to be in conflict, but this writer is confident that their interests are in common and will eventually merge for one-world control.

That policy outlined previously in Woodrow Wilson's Point Six has never been dropped. Capitalism and Communism, in terms of power, are merely their twin mechanisms to destroy the sovereignty of christian nations.

They will merge them into the projected super-state, where their financial power will exercise full sway and masterdom through that monopoly of atomic energy which is being sought with such feverish and fiendish persistence."


False signs in the heavens - see below, i. e. ancient astrology which is properly called Omina (Omina are part of but not limited to just Omina, Omina are part of the false signs and lying wonders of the Antichrist), as practised by ancient pagans are in vogue - and lead to the Antichrist, who will be according to the Church Fathers a Jew from the Tribe of Dan (Tribe of Dan - see above)
