COMMUNIST MACHINES
(1) Precursors in the Carbonari
"It
has been said that the European version of the Order of the Illuminati contributed
in no small measure to the development of revolutionary doctrines which eventually
culminated in the Russian and other Communist Machines." "...As
soon as, perhaps sooner than Weishaupt had passed away, the supreme government
of all the Secret Societies of the world was exercised by the Alta Vendita or
highest lodge of the Italian Carbonari. The Alta Vendita ruled the blackest
Freemasonry of France, German, and England; and until Mazzini wrenched the scepter
of the dark Empire from that body, it continued with consummate ability to direct
the revolutions of Europe." In
1816, Charles Nodier, an alleged Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, "published
anonymously one of his most curious and influential works, A History of Secret
Societies in the Army under Napoleon...It develops a comprehensive philosophy
of secret societies. And it credits such societies with a number of historical
accomplishments, including the downfall of Napoleon." "In
the early nineteenth century, certain figures - Charles Nodier, for example...and
Filippo Buonarroti, a master conspirator who was much admired by such men as
Bakunin - make a point of inventing, and disseminating information about a number
of wholly fictitious secret societies. So convincing was this information that
perfectly innocent people found themselves being harried and persecuted for
alleged membership of clandestine organizations that did not exist. Confronted
by such persecution, the victims, as a means of self-defense, began to form
themselves into a real secret society which conformed to the blueprint of the
fictitious one." According
to the Carbonari, or "charcoal-burners", the history of this organization started
in Scotland as happy democratic mystics. "For the purpose of avoiding suspicion
of ulterior motives, they took to charcoal-burning, which is described as the
industry par excellence of Scotland." Francis I, King of France, was supposedly
admitted to the Order. "When he went back to France, he scrupulously fulfilled
his undertaking, declaring himself Protector of the Carbonari, and he increased
their numbers. The Order now spread through Germany, France and England."
"It
has been said by some historians that the inspiration of the Carbonari and similar
societies came from pre-Christian times, for there were settled in the Alps
communities which seemed to owe allegiance to Gnostic and other ideas which
some profess to see reflected in Freemasonry, Templarism and the discipleship
of the way of the Sufis."
"The
Italian patriots Garibaldi, Mazzini and Cavour revived the secret society after
1830, and its members were again found to be ready for any sacrifice for republicanism
and rule by the Carbonari. The effect which they had upon the world was considerable:
and it continued to be so. For fifty years they had fought in civil war; they
spread to many other lands, including Germany, where they were responsible for
the Totenbund (the Death League) which was dedicated to assassinating tyrants.) (2)
The Palladian Rite Hoax
"In
1870, Mazzini and Pike reached an agreement for the creation of the new supreme
rite, to be called the New and Reformed Palladian Rite. Pike was to be called
the Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, and Mazzini was to be called
Sovereign Chief of Political Action. Pike was to draw up the statutes and grades." "No
mention of it would ever be made in the assemblies of the Lodges and Inner Shrines
of other rites...for the secret of the new institution was only to be divulged
with the greatest caution to a chosen few belonging to the ordinary high grades.
"Palladism is essentially a Luciferian rite. Its religion in Manichean new-gnosticism,
teaching that the divinity is dual and that Lucifer is the equal of Adonay.
The whole masonic world was set up at Charleston, the sacred city of the Palladium." "If
Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians) whose deeds prove
his cruelty...and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would
Adonay and his priests calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately
Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade,
no beauty without ugliness, no white without black.
"That
is why the intelligent disciples of Zoroaster, as well as, after them, the Gnostics,
the Manicheans and the Templars have admitted, as the only logical metaphysical
conception, the system of the two divine principles fighting eternally, and
one cannot believe the one inferior in power to the other. Thus, the doctrine
of Satanism is heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief
in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good,
is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil." "In
the 1880s,there was a Parisian publisher named Leo Taxil who was famous for
his scurrilous anti- Catholic tracts. Then one morning he proclaimed his conversion
to Catholicism. Shortly thereafter, he declared that he had unearthed the doings
of the Satanic Masonic sect called the Paladins. He began publishing the memoirs
of a woman named Sophia Walden, who claimed to have left the order. For two
years this fed into an anti-Masonic hysteria in Europe, and there was even a
Papal Benediction given to Sophia Walden, whom no one had even met. After a
few years, Taxil broke down and confessed that he'd made it all up. It's interesting
that one hundred years ago, you also saw nativist stories in the United States
about Masons, Catholics and Mormons who were allegedly kidnapping children and
holding them as slaves. And a hundred years later, we seem to be experiencing
more of the same." "In
many anti-Masonic books you'll see what is supposed to be a quotation from Pike,
saying that all Masons of the 'Higher Degrees' are secret worshipers of Lucifer.
The historical fact is that those words were written in 1894, three years after
Pike's death. They were written by a notorious atheist and pornographer named
Gabriel Jogand-Pages who was better known by his pen name, Leo Taxil. Taxil
was engaged in an elaborate hoax to discredit the Church of Rome and made up
the Pike quotation out of thin air.
"His
purpose was to show that the Church had failed to recognize the 'threat' posed
by Freemasonry and was, therefore, headed by fools and incompetents. Taxil publicly
admitted the hoax in 1897, but it had already been published by a man named
Abel Clarin de la Rive, who took Taxil's hoax at face value.
"Rive's
book, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle (Woman and Child
in Universal Freemasonry), was quoted by Edith Starr Miller in 1933 in her book
Occult Theocrasy. She translated the 'quotation' into English. "Since that time,
several writers of anti-Masonic books have simply repeated the 'quotation' without
checking on its source or authenticity. Taxil's public confession notwithstanding,
the lie continues to shadow the name of Pike, who was, to his death, an Episcopalian
Christian." (3)
The Russian Revolution
The
February 1917 Revolution was provoked by Freemasons and was operated from the
few masonic Lodges left after decades of persecution from Tsarist Secret Police.
Alexander Kerensky, Justice Minister in the provisional government of Prince
Georgi Yevegenievich Lvov, was a Freemason. After the Petrograd uprising in
July 1917 which led to the resignation of Lvov, Kerensky took over as Prime
Minister and appointed exclusively Masons to the government." "In
its organization, in its techniques for recruitment, in its means of eliciting
loyalty from its adherents, in its Messianic urgency, Lenin's revolutionary
party structure derives directly from Bakunin, as Lenin himself acknowledges
in his notebooks. But for Bakunin, revolution was more than a social and political
phenomenon. It was ultimately cosmic, theological, religious in character. Having
spent more than twenty years working his way up through the ranks of Freemasonry,
Bakunin had acquired a metaphysical philosophical framework for his social and
political ideas. Bakunin was a self-proclaimed Satanist. According to one commentator,
he saw Satan 'as the spiritual had of revolutionaries, the true author of human
liberation'. Satan was not only the supreme rebel, but also the supreme freedom-fighter
against the tyrannical God of Judaism and Christianity. The established institutions
of church and state were instruments of the oppressive Judaeo-Christian God,
and according to Bakunin it was a moral, and theological obligation to oppose
them. Although Lenin himself never explicitly indulged in any such cosmological
conceptions, there is no question that he recognized their utility." Bakunin
and Lenin "were both apocalyptic zealots, while their Marxist rivals...were
- in comparison - Pharisees." source:
