Rule Britannia. The Black Knights of Africa serving the British Crown

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta,  also known as the original Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem, is a closed fraternity of the Roman Catholic Church.

 

Its initiated members must be Catholic and have served in the military. They participate in secret ceremonies and feudal ritual dress, and embrace a strong class/caste mentality as part of their initiation into Rosicrucian dogma.

The upper grades are fastidiously aristocratic and must be able to display a family coat-of-arms dating back at least 300 years in unbroken succession from father to son.

 

The Sovereign Grand Master of the order is recognized as a head of state, and his authority is ensured by his secular ranking as a Prince, and his ecclesiastical ranking as a Cardinal. Under international law this organization has independent Sovereign status, which assures nationalistic loyalty from its members, above and beyond allegiance to their own country - they also have Permanent Observer status at the United Nations.

 

The order and its members have been proven to be linked with the "Rat Run", the post-WWII escape route used by high-ranking Nazis and death camp scientists from defeated Germany to the Americas. Sovereign Knight of Malta passports were issued with false identities that allowed escape from prosecution for war crimes.

 

Perversely, after the war the order’s highest decoration, the ’Grand Cross of Merit’, was awarded to Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s Eastern Front intelligence chief, who was highly complicit in the atrocities carried out by the Nazis in Russia and Eastern Europe - mainly the unprecedented slaughter of Jews and civilian Slavs.

The brotherhood’s Catholic and aristocratic roots made the modern knights fervently anti-communist. The order has been largely responsible for the construction of the CIA, and many of its global covert operations.

 

The founding fathers of the CIA William "Wild Bill" Donovan and Allen Dulles were knights, as were many other CIA hierarchy including Ronald Reagan’s director William Casey and JFK’s director John McCone. According to "Watergate" journalist Carl Bernstein, Casey gave Pope John Paul II unprecedented access to CIA intelligence including spy satellites and agents.

In fact, one could blame the start of the Cold War upon "Wild Bill" Donovan personally. At the end of the First World War Donovan led a secret mission to Siberia to observe the Russian Revolution. Due to his reconnaissance an American unit was sent to fight the Russian Bolsheviks who were broadly considered Allies, as they were still fighting the Germans alongside the British and the French in the trenches of Europe.

 

The American troops could not understand why they were being ordered to burn the villages and kill "these poor and hungry peasants, who’ve been treated so terribly by their rulers", as one "doughboy" wrote to his wife. It is historically un-American to side with the aristocratic powers of Europe against the common man.

 

Donovan’s motives for fighting the Bolsheviks could only have been due to his Vatican/Knights of Malta allegiances, as at this time the Russian Revolution was no threat to the American Republic. As a consequence in July 1944 Pope Pius XII awarded Donovan the ’Grand Cross of the Order of St. Sylvester’, the oldest and most prestigious of papal knighthoods, and the highest Catholic award ever received by an American.

 

Less than one hundred men have received this award throughout history.

The Knights of Malta’s key spheres of control are Africa and Latin America, and include many dictators such as mass murderer General Pinochet in their ranks.

Membership in Latin America includes Masonic lodge "P2" fascists and many surviving Nazi players, who are directly responsible for the formation of the modern neo-Nazi movement. Knight and Nazi escapee Otto "Scarface" Skorzeny, who led a commando raid on the Cathar region of France in search of occult artifacts including the Holy Grail, played a major role in the Vatican’s "Rat Run".

 

He was a close friend of Argentinian president and knight Juan Peron, who recent CIA documents prove was also involved in the laundering of Nazi gold through the Vatican Bank. Conveniently for Nazi members who did not escape Europe, William Donovan served as chief aide to the American prosecutor at the post-war Nuremberg trials, after handing over the reigns of the OSS/CIA to fellow knight Allen Dulles.

As Roman Catholic author Penny Lernoux reveals in her "People of God":

"After the war, the Vatican, the OSS, the SS, and various branches of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta joined to do battle against the common Soviet enemy - and to help Nazi war criminals escape... Baron Luigi Parrilli, an Italian aristocrat and Knight of Malta/papal chamberlain, took part in negotiations between SS leaders and the CIA’s Allen Dulles."

Prior to working for the OSS (he headed the OSS station in Switzerland during the war) Allen Dulles and his law partner John Foster had served as business managers and lawyers to John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil.

 

They personally brokered the partnership between Standard Oil and I.G. Farben chemical corporation. I.G.Farben not only produced gasoline for the Nazi war machine, it manufactured "Zyklon B", used slave labor before and during the war (including their huge petro-chemical factory adjacent to Auschwitz death camp), owned Bayer Pharmaceuticals which according to a current lawsuit was directly involved in Dr. Josef Mengele’s horrific Auschwitz experiments, and was spared from Allied bombings due to its Rockefeller interests.

 

Leading war-time journalist George Seldes attempted to reveal this "unholy alliance" through his newspaper articles, but was rarely published at the time, and efforts were made to kill him. Joseph Heller’s satirical novel "Catch 22" made light of this insanity with his "we agreed to bomb our own bases in return for the Nazis buying our chocolate covered cotton".

"The Bilderberg Group", of which Henry Kissinger is a permanent member.

 

It’s first chairman was knight of malta  Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who held that position for the next 22 years, until a financial scandal forced him to resign. His daughter, Shell Oil co-owner Queen Beatrix regularly attends meetings, as do ample other European aristocratic players. The undemocratic "Bilderberg Group" continues to play a major part in international affairs, and remains closed to public scrutiny and participation.

Documents show that New York’s Cardinal Francis Spellman was directly involved in the 1954 right-wing military coup of Guatemala, which led to the murder of thousands, and of which the CIA has acknowledged complicity.

 

He has also been linked to neo-Nazi group "P2" and the Mafia by his long involvement with "P2" member Archbishop Paul Marcinkus of Chicago, former head of the Vatican Bank, who was under serious suspicion by Italian authorities for the untimely death of Pope John Paul I. 

 

Cardinal Spellman was not only an old friend of CIA creator "Wild Bill" Donovan (who previously had a law firm in New York) but was the actual head of the Knights of Malta in America throughout the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, and was responsible for vast sums of money raised from its members, who have to pay thousands annually to remain in the order.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) is directly allied with international Freemasonry, from where they recruit their new elite brethren. Hence, the Knights of Malta and the Knights Templar are the Rosicrucian upper-degrees of Freemasonry.

According to "Knights of Darkness" author Francois Hervet:

"Freemasonry generally purports to be hostile to Catholicism... nevertheless in December of 1969 an exclusive meeting was held in the Rome office of Count Umberto Ortolani, the ambassador of the Knights of Malta to Uruguay, who has been called ’the brains’ behind the "P2" Masonic lodge. In addition to Ortolani, the meeting included only Licio Gelli, Roberto Calvi, and Michele Sindona",

...all of whom have been implicated in the death of Pope John Paul I and massive bank fraud.

Ironically, in recent years a belief in the Catholic faith has not been an essential prerequisite for potential members who have the right connections.

 

Non-aristocratic parties can now be initiated by the "Magistral Grace" of the Grand Master, although not in Britain, Germany and other European countries with a strong tradition of nobility. However, this has allowed many Americans to join, and an "Order of Merit" is bestowed upon those who have outstandingly served the Knights or their works. Past Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush are such honorary initiates, and Reagan was the toast of an extravagant dinner held by the Order in 1989.

With more than 11,000 knights worldwide, the Grand Master and Sovereign Council remain based in Rome. Their goal of political Feudalism is clearly seen in the actions of Prince Hans Adam II, the Habsburg-supported ruling monarch of Liechtenstein, and a prominent Knight of Malta and member of the Vatican’s Opus Dei, who in October 1999 was reprimanded by the European Court of Human Rights for claiming he had final constitutional authority over his country’s Supreme Court.

 

While recent successful attempts at maneuvering Europe towards accepting a European President have been led by Knight of Malta Gistard d’Estaing, and backed by Britain, France, Germany, Italy & Spain.

The Protestant equivalent of the Catholic Knights of Malta, also known as the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, gained greater credibility when the head of the British Empire HM Queen Victoria became their Sovereign Head in 1888. This Order of St. John, whose current Sovereign Head is HM Queen Elizabeth II, similarly use the Cross of Malta insignia as their emblem.

 

While they too claim that charity and protecting the poor are their main cause, this has been used as a tool of Western Imperialism for the last 1000 years, and began with the first Crusades to occupy Jerusalem.

 

These "charitable concerns" are unlikely to take precedence over their secret historical agenda - the fulfillment of the prophecies of St. John the Divine, whose Revelation acts as a political template for these historically-intoxicated and reactionary-minded organizations.

 

It is additionally disturbing that the Protestant Order of St. John was recently granted non-Governmental membership of the United Nations.

 

Like its Catholic counterpart, this UN position gives the Protestant Order greater access to UN decision-making and vulnerable developing countries. Undoubtedly, the interests of the Vatican, the British Crown, and its Rosicrucian fraternity, will take precedence over any genuine aid offered to the world’s poorest and needy.

The unusually shaped Cross of Malta was the original emblem of the controversial Knights Templar, and was adopted as the official insignia of the Knights of Malta, when the Knights Templar were forced to submit to the authority of the Vatican.

SOUTH AFRICAN KNIGHTS

FREEDOM CENTRAL’S FREEDOM LOG

As we all grow and move towards conscientizing the reality that we are all ONE, it seem somewhat backwards to declare my outright patriotism as a South African, as I can hear the “Love and Light Police” chastising me already with cries the likes of “ being patriotic just creates more separatist identification”.  This may very well be the case, but it is my desire to help those that I love the most, in the place that I love the most, being my friends and family in my beloved home country of South Africa, that has bought me down the path of research that is the subject of this article.

For several months now, I have been debating with family, friends and other well-informed South Africans about the state of affairs in the world at present in an attempt to educate, and inspire them to educate themselves.  It is always wonderfully heartening to find so many people on the ground in South Africa, checking out alternative sources of information other than the mainstream media, or picking up one of the many fantastic publications of this genre of information, which provides a wonderful catalysts into a whole new world of expanded awareness and perception, which is a part of dynamic process of evolution and revolution.

There are now people who claim to have a general grasp on the real reality that is now no longer conspiracy, rather well researched, well proven and well documented fact of some of the many people that Freedom Central has had the great honor to work with.  Sadly these very same South Africans are still claiming religious denomination and devotion, or standing in line to vote in government elections, when deep down we all know that we live in a Multi Party Dictatorship that we are sold as democracy.  When I questioned why apparently awake and aware South Africans were still going to church, or were still discussing voting for Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance, I was met with the repeated answer that South Africa and South African politics is different to the rest of the world.  Yes we know 9/11 was an inside job, and yes we know about the corrupt bankers and Skull & Bones and the Freemasons, and how that pertains to the American and European establishment, but how does that tie into South Africa?

As South Africans, we think we are tucked away down far away from the main happenings of the world, so somehow things do not affect us.  Perhaps that is due to the fact that there is and never has been much interest from the International community in helping Africa, other than to help themselves to the natural resources.  And thus, it is also important for the international community to sit up and take note what is going on in South Africa, because not only are they somewhat responsible for the state of affairs in Africa, but also because South Africa has always been a global testing ground for international politics.  The powers that be know most African are too stupidified by poverty to make this connection, or even notice what is going on.

We host a wonderful interview with Durban based writer Linda Smith who gives great examples of how South African policy mirrors international policy, they just change the language to make it seem like it is different.  But it is the same story over and over again, from country to country.

For those of you who are new to this information, pay close attention. Likewise please forgive me if some of these details are familiar to some, but for the sake of understanding how the dots connect, please be patient with the presentation of the evidence, which is extensive.

Okay from the beginning then.

The various governments of the world are nothing more than puppets playing a game of distraction on the global stage of politics, and South Africa is no different. Our Governments have no real power and can make no real decisions.  It actually does not matter whom we vote for, because the real controllers of planet Earth, control all parties in any given election.  Indeed, the true power lies behind the governments who are merely puppets for an institution, as the world is really run by those that I have often referred to as the Shadow Government, The Oligarchy, The Powers That Be, or The Dark Forces.  All these refer to the hidden hand behind global affairs, which is a complex web of ancient family dynasties, religious and financial institutions, secret societies such as the Freemasons and Papal Knights, all headed up from Vatican City.

There is very little documentation that exists about the ties of the Illuminati to South Africa, as few from abroad seem to take interest in researching South Africa’s affairs, and there have not yet been many South African insiders coming forward, or if they have, they have been silenced.  But we need not look far to find the clues that build the picture of how we tie into the global conspiracy.  It is a matter of public record that in South African’s history, that top “Voortrekkers” such as Piet Retief, belonged to the Freemasonic Order of the Old Dutch Goedehoop, and they spread Masonic symbolism where ever they founded towns.

There are only a few brief references in some biographical literature, to a secret group that controls South Africa that nobody is allowed to talk about.  This group is fleetingly refered to as “Wyse Manne”, which is Afrikaans for “Wise Men”.  One of the illusive recorded references to the secret controllers of South Africa, is in a book called “Dokument X”, by Gunther Schieckelgruber which is written in Afrikaans, but is a compilation of information from spies and informants during the Appartheid era.  The mysterious “Wyse Manne” come up again in a publication by South African Journalist, Chris Steyn-Barlow in a tell all book entitled “Publish and be Damned”.  The memoirs of this reporter point out that when the “Wyse Manne” were mentioned in the main-stream media, the claims of their existence were quickly dismissed as fairytale by the very people who had made the claims in the first place.

So who are the “Wyse Manne”?

The Wyse Manne are a group of industrialists including members of the Oppenheimer family, select Black liberationists and former “Broederbond” members, and no doubt, other high ranking elitists and financial powers.  Logic suggest that somebody like Hotelier Sol Kerzner, could be one of them.  The Wyse Manne controlled the super Afrikaaner Broederbond (which had Nazi ties) during Apartheid, and they also control the ANC after Appartheid. The Wyse Manne are also the ones behind the rise to power of Democratic Alliance leader and Southern Star Freemason, Helen Zille, and they control South African politics to this very day for the same Dark Powers that the rest of the world is subject to.

South Africa indeed has it’s very own secret services intelligence network, complete with an division much like the CIA run Al Qaida.  Many of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t, Al Qaida is NOT a bunch of Muslim Extremists who what to bring a Jihad (holy war) all non-Muslims.  In fact Al Qaida is nothing more than a CIA network of agents trained to facilitate “false flag” operations much like the attrocities of 9/11.  In much the same way, South Africa has it’s very own special secret unit of “Agent Provocateurs”, whose purpose, it appears, is to stir up racial and religious tension and hatred among South Africans.  The ANC youth Leader, Julius Malema is one such agent.  Another iconic South African known as Pik Botha was one of our very top secret agents.  Although Pik Botha is a far cry from anything remotely “James Bond-esque”, he was in contact and working with Israeli Mossad, British Secret Services, Central Intelligence Agency and the Russian run KGB.  Knowing this it may seem on the surface that Pik Botha was a triple agent playing for all sides, or playing sides against each other, but this is where one needs to pay close attention:

At the very highest levels of government and intelligence, there are no sides.  In fact, the International Intelligence community is controlled by the Jesuit for the Papacy.

The Jesuit order was found 11 August 1534 by Ignatius Loyola and sanctioned by Pope Paul III on 27 September 1540.

“Loyola wanted the Order to be the champions of Catholic unity, which could only be observed through an effective submission to Christ’s Vicar (the pope)”.

Loyola continued “Even if God gave you an animal without sense as a master, you will not hesitate to obey him, as master and as guide, because god ordained it to be so”

This quote indicates the loyalty the Jesuits have to the Pope.  In fact, Pope Pius III gave the Jesuit Order papal protection, whilst Catholic nobles donated castles, schools and money to the Jesuits.

The Jesuits are indeed very powerful, and this is more than obvious when looking at some of the secret and not so secret organisations that the Jesuits control, including:

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta & Knights of St John and the Hopitaliers

(Known as The Knights of Malta or Knights of the Maltese Cross)

The Order of the Illuminati

The Scottish Rite Shrine of Freemasonry

The Order of Skull & Bones

The Knights of Columbus

The Knights Templar

The Knights of Lazarus

Opus Dei

The Nation of Islam and it’s private army called “The Fruit of Islam”

(The Roman Catholic Church invented Islam to control the Arabs)

The Mafia Commission (Known as The Mafia)

The Bohemian Club

The Club of Rome

And some other lesser brotherhoods

But the most telling and chilling evidence of how very powerful and evil the Jesuits are, can be seen in the oath that they take upon becoming a Jesuit.

“ I _____________in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Blessed Michael the Archangel, the Blessed St. John, the Baptist, Peter, Paul and all the Saints, swear that the Pope is Christ’s Vice regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic Universal Church.....  The Pope has the power to depose of heretical kings, princes, states, common wealths, government and that they may be destroyed if the pope has not given his blessings over them. This power was given by the savior Jesus Christ....”

So let us just clarify just in case there is any confusion, the Jesuits swear an oath that says, if a government is not subject to Rome, it can be destroyed!

It goes on to say:

“I do further declare, that I will help and assist and advise all of his Holiness’ agents, where ever I may be and will do my utmost to destroy the heretical Protestant or Liberal Doctrines (Liberal doctrines are where you make up your mind what you want to believe, you take the liberty of making your own choice rather than allowing the Catholic Church to make them for you)...... It does not matter where in the world you may send me, I will obey.  I promise to have no opinion of my own.....I promise that I will make war against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do to  exterminate them from the face of the whole earth.  I will spare neither sex, age, race nor condition, and thus I will hang, burn, flay strange and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads in order to annihilate forever their  race.  If I can not do it openly then I will do it secretly”

This oath illustrates the power that Rome gives the Jesuit order, who are in effect agents for the Catholic Church, given a licence to kill as gruesomely as possible.  They are exempt from all laws of governance other than their allegiance to the Pope and can get away with all manner of torture and mayhem in the name of the Pope..

Virtually everything the Jesuits own has been given to them or stolen by them.  They stole all of the fortunes of the Jews in World War II, and steel all gold and seized all assets in the name of Jesus, progress or colonization, whenever they went into a country warring.  Since their inception, nearly every war that has broken out is attributable to them.

The Jesuits are the heirs of the occult religion and they control the world through various agencies.  They stand in the background, create sub organisations such as the various denominations of Papal Knights and Freemasons, while everyone thinks the Jesuits are not active.

Dispite following occultic practices, the  Jesuits are known today as The Society of Jesus and are appropriately based in the same building as the Inquisition.

The Jesuit Order is headed up by a Superior General.  The current Superior General is Reverend Father Adolfo Niclolas Pachon.  He is one of the most powerful men on the planet today, if not the most powerful, and is known as The Black Pope. He is far more powerful than the Pope we know, who is in effect, just a puppet for a fake religious institution.

This following is a ceremony of induction and extreme oaths of the Jesuits:

“You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces and states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independant and prosperous, cultivating the arts and sciences and enjoying the blessing of peace.  To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly in concert with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means”

From the Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 60-43354

Now that we have a clearer picture as to what those that are controlling planet Earth are all about, lets us come back to South Africa, and focus on some of our own agents of the Vatican.

It is round about here that many of my fellow South Africans want to slap me on the wrist for even mentioning something negative that could potentially be associated with their beloved national hero Nelson Mandela, but the sad reality is, if you want to look at how South Africa ties into the global conspiracy, Mandela is the place to start.  Apart from being a 33rd Degree Freemason, Nelson Mandela is also a Knight of Malta and St John, as is the president that came after him, Thabo Mbeki, both of whom ran South Africa on behalf of the Vatican.

Dave Hunt, an American Baptist Historian wrote the following in his book:

“Moreover, the Pope has thousands of secret agents worldwide.  They include Jesuits, the Knights of Columbus, Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, CIA and others.  The Vatican’s Intelligence Service and it’s field resources are second to none”

Extracted from pg. 87 of A Woman Rides the Beast published in 1994 by Harvest House Publishers.

In fact, all Knightly Orders operate with the primary purpose of serving and operating as the secret agents of the Vatican.  According to Edith Simon who wrote The Knights of the Maltese Cross in 1961:

“The Grand Council and Sovereign Military Order of Malta, had headquaters in Rome.  These knights of the Papal Caesar, control the Banking, Industry and Military Complexes of the world.  They oversee Chase Manhattan Bank with branches in Moscow and New York.  They rule the International Intelligence Community, the KGB in the East and the CIA in the West…”

This is the most compelling evidence so far as to who is involved in the events going on at the moment.  Just in case you have not yet connected the dots, Chase Manhattan Bank was a Rockerfeller bank and merged with JP Morgan to form JP Morgan & Chase.  In the most recent edition of Forbes Magazine, JP Morgan was listed as the wealthiest company in the world.  So  not only does the Vatican control the world’s  wealth, they also control all the intelligence networks throughout the world.  The Holy Catholic Inquisition that claimed the lives of over 60 million people, is the forerunner of what has become the modern day intelligence community.  In fact, Jesuit HeadQuarters is in the same building as the HeadQuarters of the Inquisition.

In order for you to understand how the Vatican has been controlling world affairs for over 2000 years, behind the guise of fake governments, be they Dictatorial, Democratic or Communist, it is important that you know who some of the members of the Knights of Malta and St John are.

But to name a few.

As we can see, there are prominent men who are Knights of Malta, and as we have seen, they have great wealth and power and pretty much contol everything.  They control all the media, both print and broadcast; they control all religions and the political scene, as well as controlling all the money.

As many typical South Africans will be saying right now, this is all very good and well, but what does that mean for us?

If the Vatican controls the world, how does that affect us?

…”They (the Papal Knights and Jesuits) are simply the Romish army for the earthly sovereignty of the world in the future, with the Pontiff of Rome for the Emperor...That’s their ideal, but there’s no sort of mystery of lofty melancholy about it... it’s simple lust of power, of filthy earthly gain, of domination – something like universal serfdom with them as master – that is all they stand for.  They don’t even believe in God perhaps”

Extracted from pg 309 of The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, origionally published in 1880 by New York Random House

Thomas Aquinas, the great Spiritual Philosopher wrote:

“The Pope, by Divine Right, hath spiritual and Temporal (political) Power, as supreme King of the World...the Pope of Rome, as the Head of the Papal Government, claims absolute sovereignty and supremacy over all the governments of the earth”

Extracted from pg 30 & 31 of Romanism as a World Power by Luther S. Kauffman, The American Publishing Co. 1922).

Friedrich von Hardenberg, who was a Protestant German Philosopher wrote in 1800:

“Never before in the course of the world’s history had such a Society (the Jesuits) appeared.  The old Roman Senate itself did not lay schemes for world domination with greater cetainty of success”

Extracted from pg. 6 of The Power and Secret of the Jesuits by Rene Fulop Miller, published in 1930 by New York garden City Publishing Co

These quotes from various sources clearly point out the Pope rules the world through his various hierarchies of control and infiltration.

It is a good thing then that the Pope has no hidden agenda… Or does he?

In a Vatican circulated in house magazine called Civilta Cattolica, which means,“Catholic Civilization” (i.e. “World Government under the Pope”) it stated that it believes that “Fascism is the regime that corresponds most closely to the concepts of the Church of Rome.”

In 1550, Pope Julius III declared his claim to Universal and Temporal (political) Power which was evident by a new coin he issued which read:

“The nation and kingdom that will not serve me shall perish!”

Throughout history, the Vatican has been the controlling force behind world affairs, creating wars, manipulating conflicts and conquering once peaceful nations, as this is all part of a plan that is steering the world slowly towards the completion of their dark agenda:

To control the planet under a fascist regime with the pope as head of the world.

This of course is where the shouts of “Conspiracy Nut” can be heard from the peanut gallery. But one needs to understand how this can be done, by firstly understanding a few facts that are not normally public information.

Firstly, we have always been mislead into believing that the Kings, Queens, Dictators, Presidents and Prime Ministers were the ones who had the power as rulers or governors.  The true power lies in the Church, the clergy or the Priestly Class.  Through out history, the priestly class has always wielded more power than the acknowledged rulers or royalty.  They have been the wizards and Druids of history, as well as trusted talisman and councillors of kings and leaders.  When the Freemason J.R.R. Tolkien wrote “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”, he was very aware of this.  One may remember that when Aragorn was crowned King, it was the wizard (representing the priestly class) Gandalf who placed the crown on his head and in effect crowned Aragorn as King of Middle Earth.

The Queen is said to be the head of the Church of England, but in reality, the Queen would not be there without the blessing of the Pope.  The Roman Catholic Church has throughout history maintained it’s right to depose of rulers and kings that did not conform to Vatican rule.

“The right of deposing Kings is inherent in the supreme sovereignty which the Pope has over all nations”

Cardinal Henry Manning, Archbishop of Westminster 1892

The Vatican basically decides who gets to rule a country on it’s behalf, no matter how bad they bad or corrupt they are.  That is why Dictator Robert Mugabe,who is order of bath- garter  who claims to be a devout Roman Catholic, has been allowed to mercilessly rule Zimbabwe for three decades.  In fact there is an international travel ban imposed upon Mugabe due to the atrocities Zimbabwe has suffered under his dictatorship.  However, the ban was temporarily lifted so that Mugabe could attend the Beatification of the Late Pope John Paul II. Beatification is one step prior to Canonisation, which is when Pope John Paul II will be made a Saint.  Dispite having had an honorary Knighthood, which was annulled by Queen Elizabeth II, Mugabe serves his true Masters, the Vatican, in the exact capacity that they want him to.  If The Vatican did not want Mugabe ruling Zimbabwe, they would have have him removed, and he certainly would not have been in power for three decades.  But as Mugabe is their obedient stooge.  One does not just get an invitation to the Vatican unless you are on “good terms” with them.  Mugabe not only got an invitation to the Vatican so that he could attend the Beatification of the late Pope, they also lifted his travel ban for the occasion which just happened to take place on Walpurgis, the highest and most holy holiday on the Druidic and Witches calendar.

One only needs to look at the extreme oath of the Jesuits to see some examples of what is going on in Zimbabwe and indeed, South Africa, and that it is all orchestrated at the highest levels of the Catholic Church.

Why?

Because South Africa and Zimbabwe are resource wise, the wealthiest countries in the world.  By all means, the people should be wealthy, but they are amoung the poorest on our planet.  Rather the wealth sits with the Industrialists, Oligarchs and the Vatican who continue to steal and plunder Africa’s riches at the expense the African people.  The Vatican controls our countries so that it can continue to rob us of our wealth, thus keeping us stupefied by poverty and unable to figure out just what they are doing to us.

The Catholic Empire provides a colossal wealth to the Vatican, which includes massive investments with the Rothschild's in Britain, Europe and the USA, and with giant oil and weapons companies such as Shell and General Electric.  The Vatican owned Gold Bullion, is stored with the Rothschild Bank of England, and the US Federal Reserve Bank, not to mention vast secret storage of gold in hollowed out mountains in Switzerland.

The Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence, possessing more material wealth than any bank, corporation, giant trust or government anywhere on the planet.  The Pope who is the ruler of this colossal global wealth, is one of the richest men on Earth.  Whilst half of the worlds population earns less than 2 dollars a day, and one fifth of the world is underfed or starving to death, the Vatican hoards the world’s wealth, profits from it on the Stock Market which it controls and manipulates for it’s own benefit, whilst at the same time preaching about honesty, fairness and giving.

How did the Vatican accumulate so much power and wealth over the years?

One method was to put a price tag on sin.  Many popes actually marketed guilt, fear and sin for profit, by selling indulgences.

Pope Leo X rebuilt St Peter’s basilica selling tickets out of hell and tickets into heaven.  During the Dark Ages, the Catholic Church not only horded the wealth they collected from the poor, but they horded knowledge.  They kept the masses stupid and ignorant as to what was really going on, by denying them a basic education.  Only the wealthy and the Clergy were allowed the skills of literacy.

Over the past 5 decades, more than 1500 Bishops have been identified in the sexual assault of tens of thousands of boys and girls, in their trusting congregation, convents and orphanages.

Why is this filthy rich institution preaching the spiritual values of poverty and chastity, whilst covering up for the cardinals, bishops and priests who commit sexual abuse?

Why has the filthy rich Vatican fought and resisted the compensation claims of their physically, sexually, emotionally and mentally abused victims whilst it has great wealth?

One would assume they should just settle and be done with the matter to stop it from dragging on, especially when they have the wealth to do it.

The truth behind the travesty of the sexual abuse of thousands of children by the priest, cardinals, bishops and even popes, is that it has been going on for so long that it really is no secret whatsoever, and in initiated circles, is common practice as part of occult sex magic rituals.  Far from being an institution of puritanical ideals and morals, the Vatican is the most powerful and corrupt institution on the planet.

The first essential orientation to establish is that there are always TWO POLICIES or DOCTRINES when it comes to the Vatican…

One policy is OPEN yet FALSE, intended for public confusion.  It is the version of reality that we are taught to believe.

The other policy is SECRET and TRUE, which is in fact a very dark agenda and benefits only a few at the top of the control pyramid.

One doctrine or policy is for the initiated, whilst the open yet false policy is for the uninitiated.  This is key to understanding the controlling mechanism behind religions, politicians, government, media, corporatocracy, royalty and all the other controlling institutions.

In case you are still not getting it, let me spell it out for you:

Not everyone works by the same rules.

There are the rules or doctrines for the public, the mass, the uninitiated, the goyim or undeserving as the Elitists like to think of us... Then there are the doctrines or ‘rules’ for the initiated, those in the ‘know’, the elite.  This should come as no suprise.  It is common knowledge that the Queen of England is exempt from all prosecution that can befall the general public, which is a tradition honoured as the ‘divine right of kings’.  This privilege extends to the Pope, Jesuits and Papal Knights.

This propogation of double standards is the true root of separatism, elitism, racism and all the other consciousness clouding “isms” that ferment the beautiful state of connectedness with our fellow  beings.  Sadly all politics, law, elitism, separatism, greed for money and power can be traced back to the Religious Institutions, where the inner circle are kept “in the Know” and precious empowering ancient knowledge is hoarded and benefits only a few at the top of the control pyramid, while the less deserving mass are taught the complete opposite of what the inner doctrines teach.

Why?

Because they are doing the complete opposite of what we are taught to do, and they want to keep us as far away from the truth as possible, and thus we are taught complete and utter lies.

… and thus, “black is white and white is black!”

…Which is the simple principle by which we are all deceived!

If we are ever going to be free of the evil controllers that have destroyed our planet, impoverish  and enslaved the human race, we need to stop playing the silly games of politics and religion that they keep us distracted with.

Politics is nothing more than an illusion to keep us paying taxes and believing that we have a choice, and thus we have perceived freedom.  The reason we pay taxes is because we believe that we have a say in how the country gets run by voting in government elections, but voting for new puppets every few years does not mean you are free.  Our political leaders are nothing more than puppets putting on a show on the glorious stage of politics, which has more entertainment value than leadership value.  The true seat of political power lies behind the public face of government, and always has done… and always will do, if we keep agreeing to play along with the silly game of fake democracy, while lining up for hours to get a stain on your thumb, because that is all you are doing.  Your vote means absolutely nothing!

As for religion… Well without wishing to offend anybody, it must be known that the Catholic Church controls all other churches and religions, and in fact has invented most of the religions from Christianity to Islam.  In fact, on 9 April 2000, a decree called “Dominus Ijesus” was issued by Cardinal Ratzinger, who was a “Hitler Youth” in Poland, and who later became the present Pope Benedict XVI.

This decree states that:

“It must be always clear that the one, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Universal Church is not the sister, but the mother of all the churches”.

This basically means that all other churches are subject to the Roman Catholic Church, who sit at the top of the church heirarchy.  They are in control of all the other churches underneath them, this includes all religions.  This indicates tremendous power on the part of the Roman Catholic Church, and who ever is head of this church is also indeed very powerful as he is then by very definition, the head of all other churches as well.  It is commonly known amongst the higher circles of all religion that the Pope is the head of all religions, and indeed, head of the world.

Based on this, there is more than enough reason to question whether following a religious institution is really doing the right thing, because it is not about who is right, it is about what is right.  The only reason religion has power is because it has our support.  If we continue to actively aquiesse to these institutions that enslave us and commit such awful atrocities in the name of the Pope, of Christ, and of progress, then really we deserve what we are being faced with as we literally march humanity into the New World Order.

It is time to stop submitting to the hereditary prejudices that we have been programmed to accept as “just the way it is”.  The “Way it is”, is how WE make it.  We have been led to believe that we are powerless, but the real reality is, that we are more powerful than we are ever allowed to know, because the true power lies with us.

Why do you think the Powers that Be have gone to such efforts to implement such control measures over us with such great complexity?

Ultimately, what it is really all about, is that the Dark Forces can not afford for the biggest secret of all to become known.  The real threat to them is if we realise who we are and how much power we have.  They keep us in fear so that we are paralysed like Bambi in the headlights.

“We are not allowed to know the fundamental reality that ‘who we are’, is the biggest secret!”

It is time to STOP… Just take a minute and think about what it is you are doing.  Try to remember who you really are, and how much potential you have.

Are you happy with who you are and what you have become?

Do you like what you see when you look at at what is going on in the world?

The only way we are ever going to be free, is by reclaiming our freedom.

What happens next is entirely up to you!!!

Rule Britannia. The Black Knights of Africa serving the British Crown

One of the most fascinating times of our white western history must be the times of the crusades.

Europe stood together and sent troops to the Holy Land to free it from Islamic domination. It was also one of the darkest periods of our time, even called the dark ages and would last hundreds of years until the Renaissance in Europe.

There were nine official crusades and a myriad of smaller ones. During this time several military orders saw the light that still exists today like the Knights Templar, The Knights of Malta (Hospitallers), Teutonic Knights, etc.

But their main opposition on the side of the Muslims were the “Assassins” or as the Persian word “Hassasin” indicates they were the followers of Hassan-i Sabbah

Today the Order of the Knights Templar still exists and survives in Freemasonry.

The order of the “Assassins” still survives to this day. They are called the Nizari Ismailis and they are an extreme form of Shiite Islam. Their leader is Prince Karim the Agha Khan (IV) one of the most richest people in the world. Agha Khan IV. This is the power behind the so called “Muslim Brotherhood”.

You can read about it in the book by James Wasserman called “The Templars and the Assassins”.

Wasserman is a high initiate of the OTO or (Ordo Templi Orientis), the graduate school of the Freemasons. So he should know what he is talking about.

Nevertheless, every now and again some puppets come along and serve the agenda of powers far greater than them and for their service they are rewarded with honourary degrees in these orders.

On the 20th of February 2004, President Thabo Mbeki was awarded an honorary Doctorate from the University of Stellenbosch and the idea was that the Afrikaner Broederbond basically told him that he is now one of the Afrikaners and should listen to them when they speak. Thabo Mbeki accepts honourary Doctorate from Stellenbosch University

In 2007 the Duke of Gloucester installed Thabo Mbeki as a member of the Order of the Knights of Malta. Thabo Mbeki become a member of the Order of the Knights of Malta just like his predecessor Nelson Mandela.

In 2010 the Queen of England bestowed on President Jacob Zuma the award of honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, just like Robert Mugabe is a member of the same order.

Jacob Zuma became a member of the The order of Bath

You can read more about this highly respected military order here:
The Order of the Bath

In 1994 the same Queen of Britain made Robert Mugabe a Knight Commander of the Order of Bath. In 2008 she stripped him of this title after David Millibrand urged her to do so. Queen strips Mugabe of Knighthood

You know...a knighthood from the Queen of England or the Duke of Gloucester is not just dished out like sweets to street children. You have to perform a special service to their agenda to earn such a title.

People like Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Bob Geldoff, etc had to prove themselves over many years to earn such a title. They received their knighthoods because of special services to the crown and their agenda.

One thing that is certain is that the British Crown does not just dish out knighthoods left right and centre.
So what special services did Mugabe, Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma perform to the British Crown that they earned such chivalric titles? Not even Cecil John Rhodes was knighted for all his efforts to the British Crown.
Is it perhaps because, Mugabe, Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma have caused unknown amounts of deaths of blacks? Is it because they have been slowly wiping out the Boers of South Africa?

What is the agenda here and what does one have to do to be rewarded by the Queen as a Knight Commander of a Military order? Mugabe did not just get an ordinary Knighthood. No he got, “Knight Comander”...

Mugabe’s record shows. He destroyed the nationalists under Ian Smith who dared to declare unilateral independence from Britain. The Whites of Rhodesia were the enemies of Britain and they had to be destroyed.

Even into the third generation they had to be completely annihilated, driven off their land and reduced to zero just like any enemy of the British Crown.

The Boers of South Africa will never be forgiven for resisting the British Crown and winning the war against them, but for now, Mandela, Mbeki, and Zuma have contributed only mildly to the agenda.

The next black leader of South Africa that will take the agenda to the full conclusion, maybe Malema, will earn the title like Mugabe, Knight Comander.

Have no illusions. Have no hope that some people from outside will come and help us. No, we are alone. And for those English speaking South Africans who think that they will be somehow exempted from the slaughter I have the example of Rhodesia to present. Britain felt nothing about the slaughter of the white English speakers in Rhodesia and when Mugabe drove 60,000 whites off their farm land, Britain would not even allow them in as refugees. Most of them are currently living in SA and kept alive by the churches... like in Fish Hoek, Cape Town. What makes white English speakers of South Africa feel that Britain will treat them any differently than they treated the English speaking whites of Zimbabwe?

The ultimate prize is the massive gold reserves under the soil of South Africa and Zimbabwe. And that is all that counts.

Britain has no qualms to support Marxist black terrorists in South Africa against white South Africans as long as they stick to the agenda, which is handing over all the gold. Almost like, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

It is nothing new. In the Second World War they chose a brutal Communist dictator like Stalin as their ally. That says it all. They will jump into bed with anybody to annihilate their challengers to be at the top of the food chain. Rule Britannia!

News HomeNews News archive The President of the Italian Republic Receives the Ambassadors President Giorgio Napolitano greets Ambassador Giulio di Lorenzo Badia Photographs Rome, 22/12/2011 The Order of Malta’s Ambassador Giulio di Lorenzo Badia speaks on behalf of the diplomatic corps The President of the Republic of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano, received the diplomatic corps in the Quirinal Palace to exchange new year’s greetings. On this occasion, the ambassador of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Giulio di Lorenzo Badia, vice-doyen of the diplomatic corps, took the floor and gave the following speech. At the end, the President of the Italian Republic thanked Ambassador Lorenzo Badia for “your eloquent and meaningful words on behalf of the ancient and noble institution you represent”. *** Dear Mr. President, At this moment in time, in expectation of the arrival of the Papal Nuncio Monsignor Adriano Bernardini, who will assume the role of Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, I have the privilege of representing the Heads of the Diplomatic Mission to Italy in extending to you and to your family our best wishes for Christmas and New Year. 2011 is coming to an end, and this great Country which hosts us all has had so many important challenges, and you Mr. President have been able to decipher and understand so well the hearts and minds of the Italian people in a truly inspirational manner. I recently attended an event at the Auditorium with several foreign Ambassadors, and the very warm and heartfelt standing ovation you received on that occasion was a clear sign of the high level of trust Italian citizens have in you. This year you celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the foundation of the Italian State. Over these many years Italy has overcome several difficult challenges and is today one of the most industrialised nations of the world. We admired the strenuous efforts Italy made internationally with the United Nations, and within the Atlantic and Mediterranean communities to develop the causes of peace, human rights, economic growth and religious freedom. On this last point, we all observed the strong relationship Italy has with the Holy See when newly elected Prime Minister Mario Monti saluted Pope Benedict XVI at Fiumicino Airport, when the Holy Father was about to start his journey to Africa following the important inter-religious meeting held in Assisi in October. Mr. President, we were at the Chamber of Deputies on March 17th when you delivered the celebratory speech for the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy. In this keynote speech you declared that ”Italian Unification represented an extraordinary historic undertaking because of the times in which it happened, the content and momentum it gathered, and the success it obtained which surpassed many expectations and honoured the most challenging hopes.” Later in the year on May 5th we attended the fine concert you kindly offered to His Holiness Benedict XVI for the anniversary of his elevation to the Papal throne. On June 2nd we as Ambassadors accompanied more than 40 heads of state to the Military Parade, and to the following meeting at the Quirinale in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. These were unforgettable events which further elevated the image of Italy around the world! Italy has had a long journey. It is a country which saw 25 million people emigrate with broken hearts to find work in far away places. Today, thanks to their sacrifices, Italian communities around the world number several millions who hold their land of origin close to their hearts. These people have created a strong bridge of friendship and cooperation between Italy and the many countries around the world where they reside. It is well known that in recent decades Italy has become a country of immigration, where 7% of the population is now represented by foreigners, and more than 500,000 children have been born to immigrant parents and now hope to have Italian citizenship conferred on them. In this new framework, many Diplomatic Missions which in the past managed the many visa applications into their countries now see other Missions overseeing the arrival of their people who see Italy as a land of opportunity where they can find dignified work. Mr. President, this year you have spent many days visiting foreign countries as well as many Italian cities where many young and unemployed people were regarded you with eyes full of hope, thinking of their future. Our thoughts and prayers are with them! Today, Mr. President, it is evident that Italy, a founding country of the European Union, has been committed to play its part in confronting this important moment of economic crisis which faces the Eurozone. We wish to express our hopes that Italy will soon overcome these difficult times. I would like to add a personal note which I believe will be shared by my colleagues. I have spent 40 years serving Italy in the Diplomatic service, and 15 years with the Order of Malta which operates around the world in the humanitarian and health sectors abiding by its ancient motto: “obsequium pauperum et tuitio fidei” care for those in need, and living a Christian example). In this context we would like to thank you for the warm welcome Italy offers Diplomatic agents through the Protocol Department of the Quirinale and the Diplomatic Protocol of the Italian Republic. In my opinion Italy does not only apply the Convention of Vienna, but offers its hospitality with friendship and warmth to all Diplomatic Missions. A renewed wish to you Mr President, to the Prime Minister, and to the new Minister of Foreign affairs, Ambassador Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata who recently undertook two important missions to the United Nations and Washington, in the hope that 2012, with the help of God, will offer a brighter and more serene future.

Knights and Dames of the Order, General Information for Candidates The following information has been prepared on behalf of all persons requesting to be received as Knights or Dames of the Federation of Autonomous Priories of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta read on Historic Synopsis Domus Hospitalis / Jerusalem Cyprus, Rhodes Malta The Federation I The Federation II The Federation III Other Branches of the Order Español Italiano Magyar Our Currency Members Entrance Calendar Domus Hospitalis - Jerusalem (1048 - 1291) It is difficult to support and to love an institution if we don’t know its history. However, to condense the millenarian and glorious history of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in a few pages, is practically impossible. This succinct chronic recalls some of the principal events that have contributed to the historic evolution of the Order, from its origins up to the present. At the beginning of the eleven century, the Saracens had already been occupying Jerusalem for about 500 years. In 1020 Caliph Dehara Ladimellah granted permission, to a group of Amalfitan sailors, to establish in Jerusalem a district provided with commercial quarters, lodgings for travelers, churches and shelters for sick people and pilgrims, often victims of violence and persecutions. A monastic brotherhood of Hospitallers, which could be considered the initial nucleus, and certainly the most significant of the Order, was created for the purpose of managing the “Domus Hospitalis”, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, which gave hospitality to men, and the Hospital of Saint Madeleine, which gave hospitality to women. In the year 1090, that “Sacra Domus”, was administered by Benedictines, their master was Fra Gerardo de Sasso, born in La Provence, according to some accounts, or on Amalfi, according to others, who miraculously had escaped death. He is recognized as the first historical figure and the first Grand Master of the Order, and was elevated to the honor of the altars among the Blessed Hospitallers. Shortly after its foundation, the “Domus Hospitalis” became the focal point not only for the traders of Amalfi, but also and especially for the anonymous and destitute mass of people in pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the holiest place of Christianity. In 1099, at the end of the first Crusade (1095-1099), Godfrey of Bouillon reconquered Jerusalem, and Baldwin became its first King. The “Sacra Domus” experienced its most glorious moments and began to develop a supporting action, not only in favor of traders and pilgrims, but also to the growing Brotherhood of “frates” which was expanding alongside all the holy places. This Brotherhood that had acquired its own characteristics and became an institution, began to act in favor of the Crusaders. In the year 1100, the Brotherhood received donations from Godfrey of Bouillon himself, from Roger of Sicily, and from many other Christian princes. Those donations could be considered lawful titles of that sovereignty that eventually became the main characteristic of the Order, and made of it a Nation without frontiers, a Kingdom without dynasty. By virtue of the pontifical bull of 15th February, 1113, and following acts, the Pope Pascal II approved the institution of the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, free from any civil or ecclesiastic authority. The little Brotherhood stretched beyond the borders of Palestine, and extended all over the Christian dominions, where authorized by the Pope, was allowed to receive donations and to found houses. The presence of the Order in Jerusalem was especially significant when, upon the death of Fra Gerardo, a nobleman from Provence, Fra Raymond Du Puy, was called to guide the Hospitallers in 1120. He radically changed the plans, the strategy and the purposes of the institution. The defense of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the blooming of the spirit of chivalry were the determinant causes that induced the “frates” to become “equites et servientes armigeri”. By the will of Innocent III, the initial hospitaller tasks were supplemented with military functions. It was an original fusion: military forces defending the Christian dominions, and hospitaller charity defending life. The religious and chivalric structure founded legitimacy through the concept that to defend the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, which God wanted, was a duty that not Christian could evade. The Knights, who had adopted as badge the octagonal white cross, fought for the defense of the ailing and the weak, for the pilgrims, for righteousness and justice. They were bound by three religious vows: obedience, poverty and chastity. The chaplains safeguarded the offerings and the “frates” healed, comforted and buried the unfortunate. The King of Aragon, Knight of the Order, on his death bed bequeathed all his possessions to the Knights, living them in usufruct to be managed by the Templar Knights and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, who were protecting courageously the holy places. Meanwhile the Knights took part in the 2nd Crusade (1147-1149) and partook in a particular way in the expedition against Damascus (1148). The Order replenished its reserves, opened settlements in many states, received properties all over Europe, and became the bastion of the Christian faith. In 1187 Saladin, after having many resounding victories and conquering so many territories, crossed the Jordan river. Despite the brave defense, the Grand Master and many Knights of the Order, Templar Knights and Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, were killed in the vain attempt to stop the infidel from reconquering Jerusalem. The Seat of the Order was transferred to Margat, in Syria. During the 3rd Crusade (1189-1192), guided by Richard The Lionhearted, with the military contribution of the Knights of the Order, Saint John of Acre was liberated and became the new Seat of the Order. On 1265, the Sultan attacked and reconquered Tiro, Cesarea and Margat; only the Crac resisted, a fortress built to resist sieges even for long periods, but finally it was lost. After an heroic resistance, the Grand Master Jean De Williers abandoned the last strongholds of Saint John of Acre on 1291. (S.M.O.M.)
