The Jesuits - top of the pyramid?

[gilius]

I believe when this post-flaviana project is finally synthesized (though by it's nature it will always be in progress), with at least enough dots joined and the oligarchs' trail followed from the Flavian invention of Christianity to the present, I'm pretty certain we will end up with the Jesuits as the current world rulers behind the curtain of all secret societies. And I hope someone can quote me as being right in 100 years time (or however long it takes to confirm this). And I don't believe it has anything to do with blood/DNA since ego-ties can be stronger than family ties. A psychopath can murder his own parents or children when unable to maintain a certain facade that is put out for others to see.

The best starting video for the Jesuits - there isn't many - would most likely be this one:

There are many many dots of evidence I have discovered that point to the Jesuits. I won't attempt to outline them all - but I will remind everyone that the main symbol in Hollywood movies and the media that the oligarchical psychopaths try to bring to our attention is the "all-seeing eye"; now, this is not an Illuminati symbol - but the symbol of the Jesuits. Again, that is only the beginning in terms of exposing the Jesuits.

OK, what we need here is someone to take the position that we would find some elite Jews at the 'top of the pyramid', and let's have a debate to see if any clear winner emerges. Maybe someone might advocate for Freemasons, or bankers, or CIA/NSA, or British royalty, or Bilderberg. My best guess is that these various organizations interact. True hierarchies always have some King or President at the top. So if there's someone at the top of this web of secret societies, who would it be?

In your podcast on the Jesuits, Joe mentioned the first Jesuit - Ignatius - was a Jew. Approaching from this end of history it may seem like a confusing web - but if you track the evolution of the elite from closer to the Flavian end then you will see that the Vatican followed by the Jesuits have always remained in power. The Rothchilds and banking originate in Switzerland as founded by the Vatican. To think that the Vatican lost their power to the bankers is like thinking that the owners of Facebook or Amazon are now in control of the world instead of their overlords.

 

[Richard Stanley]

Uhmm ... uhm. Josephus Flavius was a Jew. And apparently Weishaupt.

This is what Jerry and I have been trying to get across, i.e. that this whole overwhelming tendency for people with a Christian / goy background to automatically categorize the issue du jour as one specific thing, when in reality doing so is a clever mischaracterization. A profitable one for those elites who created this false dialectic. This is just a version of the magician's shell game.

As Josephus was rather tight with the Flavians, Ignatius was also close boyhood friends with the future Holy Roman Emperor. Coincidence? He was close enough so that he could become so enamored of the prince's sister that upon his romantically dooming leg injury that this supposed overwhelming devotion (the alleged Marian inspiration) eventually led to the foundation of the Gesu. Gee, how elite could he have been to have had a chance with the HRE princess, even if the story was pure legend and/or cover story? The Gesu were founded and modeled upon a crusading Templar motif (celibate militant priests) with a supposed initial mission to combat the outbreak of Protestantism. The latter of which heavily influenced by Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and ... uhmm Jews .. who helped them to start interpreting their new printed Bibles (where they started to figure out it was BS. Hence the evolution of metaphorical interpretations in the denominational churches as a crutch to maintain the Christian mantle).

Hmm. OK, one can now claim that the 'Jews' were corrupting both the Catholics (via the Gesu) and the Protestants, or one can look for a different model, one that attempts to reformulate the categories of people into more appropriate terms. Such as explaining the Caesarian and Flavian association with the 'pseudo-Jewish' Herods, Ignatius and the HRE, the Rothschilds to the Vatican, various other so-called hofjuden etc..

The story with Weishaupt is all rather curious, especially in regards to the timing with the American Revolution and the Jesuit Disestablishment (who must 'wander in the wilderness for 40 years' before being restored to the good graces of the Church), either of which are almost always neglected from the accounts. As Saussey explained in Rulers of Evil, under the guise of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" the mostly rabidly Protestant colonies ended up accepting a heavy Jesuit presence in the new country.

This is nothing but classic 'divide and conquer' tactics, one of the foundations of which was the sardonic issue of Salvation by Grace or Works, in relation to Predestination of the Elect. Just 'who' is the Elect? The rummies all believe that they are the Elect because they have accepted Jesus and had come in contact with some Holy Water. But in reality, same as it ever was, the Elect are those eligible to be 'elected' by their noble peers to become the next dynast, to rule over them, the rummies, and everyone else.

While the Catholic catechism teaches that Salvation is by Works, the Jesuit's instructions are that Predestination of the Elect is canonic, but for the sake of the Church (meaning its elite corporate owners) they will not reveal this to their rummies. The original Baptist (Low Church evangelicals) statement of faith included Predestination of the Elect, but when the people started asking what that meant, it was subsequently removed.

So, similarly, having the rummies all blame 'the Jews', with a broad brush, deflects attention from the real problem.

This gets us to a problem, here [sic], where there is an interpretation, that despite ~two thousand years of living under this Flavian regime of Jesus Christ, that the greater western society somehow evolved, via bitter and bloody struggles, to a state of wonderfulness, apparently as evidenced by the USA (the flag, Mom and apple pie ... ) and its modeling itself on Old Testament Conquest of the savages. And once having reached its latest apex of wonderfulness, those relentless 'Jews' have launched yet another assault of debauchery. I have asked before, to dead silence, just when this period of wonderfulness was, and where there was not ever the underlying stench of Romanesque manipulation occurring? It is only an illusion, unless one wants to accept that we are left with a contiguous body of exceptions to said wonderfulness. There is nothing unusual about trumped up wars as going on today. This is what US Marine General Butler came to realize, via his involvement in the Philippines and Nicaragua.

The elite seem to be managing all kinds of sinister projects over time frames of several decades in some cases - I get the sense they are extremely stable being at the top of the pyramid. This cannot be organised via a web of different organisations on equal footing - only top-down from a single group or head. The symbolism of the elite is a singular icon - not something that feeds the ego of the mafia, Rothschilds and bankers all-in-one, like the godhead of the Holy Spirit (Vespasian, Titus and Domitian) does for the Flavians. The Flavians were assisted by the Herods and Alexanders - but it was a top-down project, so ultimately credit goes to the Flavians. Likewise you cannot credit the thousands of workers responsible for building a pyramid - that belongs to the reigning Pharaoh. Sure, the elite are masters of deception and most secretive - but they still desire what all psychopaths need to survive. The only thing missing from New Year's Eve in Dubai was a big fire-lit sign saying "IHS" - but that would have made it too obvious. But if you know what to look for in Eyes Wide Shut you can find both an all-seeing eye and an IHS!

 

[Jerry Russell]

One reality we can be sure of -- is the existence of a fairly large number of powerful institutions (governments, businesses, religious organizations, and secret societies) each with its own power base (personnel, tangible assets and financial resources), ideology, and agenda. From the point of view of everyone below the top rungs of the hierarchy, the distinctions between these groups is very real.

What I think we are claiming here, at a minimum, is that the elites at the heads of all these various institutions are capable of cooperating from time to time, at least to the extent of not blocking or exposing each others' long term sinister projects. But I don't see why they couldn't be organized on some sort of webbed basis, perhaps electing a leader from time to time, or perhaps each leader selects and adopts his successor from among the most promising candidates. Indeed, the aspirations of each institutional head, to be selected as the next global leader (if there is such a person) would tend to keep the interests of the various groups aligned: an institutional head who went "rogue" and put the interests of his own institution head and shoulders above the interests of the group, would risk becoming "un-electable", or even being ejected from the inner circle.

Even in the times of the Flavians, there was a competitive - cooperative dynamic going on. The Herods and Alexanders were assisting the Flavians, but also jockeying for power with them against the Julio-Claudians, who seemingly faded to some extent. If Abelard Reuchlin and Roman Piso are correct, the Flavians may have inter-married with the Herods, Alexanders and/or Julio-Claudians to create an extended royal family that was not particularly Roman nor Jewish nor Arab, but a mix of all three.

Today, in the US, it is in mainstream political vogue to talk about the Establishment, and there is a huge rebellion on both the right and the left against this nebulous Establishment. All of those organizations that you listed are capable of being surreptitiously controlled by powerful interests (the Establishment) acting through individual and possibly otherwise isolated surrogates that the interests have spent a lot of time and money cultivating and corrupting. Some of the overt institutions are so massive that rogue agencies can be run without any accountability, for long periods of time, but these rogue agencies are not very likely to be instituted by lone actors, without the support of the powerful interests to cover their asses.

In most cases there is a lot of overlap of interests by certain players having memberships in more than one institution type, e.g. a politician with SMOM membership and ties to certain corporations. Or a politician who is being controlled by such as The Family (the secretive religious front), of which the latter we have no idea who is really pulling the strings much less the politician.

The American roots of the so-called Eastern Liberal Establishment came from the blood lineage of colonial Loyalists who were never sent back to the Home Country, and had their landed wealth granted to them via the fiat of the Crown. As Saussey revealed the fix was in on the revolution, that came about by the collective simultaneous efforts of the American Freemasons and the Catholic Lords, Bute and Baltimore, via their influence over George III. No Stamp Act > no Tea Party. Freemason Benjamin Franklin was a member of Lord Sandwich's Hellfire Club, while Sandwich is the head of the British Admiralty? Just another coincidence? I am guessing if we were to do a little more investigation over the treaties that we would find some more interesting details not commonly known.

As such, I suspect that there is a hierarchy of players, as long before, who are allowed access to the top institutional driver's seats based upon demonstrations of past loyalties. We have evidence of that with a long string of American Presidents. But who sits at the center of the web we can't say for certain because we are not privy to the org chart. And it is my opinion that the true power is not in the institutions, but rather those who used to be titled kingmakers, only now they are institutional puppetmasters within the modern paradigm.

In any case, I am guessing that the current rebellion is being allowed to be discussed, because someone has been put in charge of co-opting the rebellion, political ju-jitsu. And it is being both masked and abetted by the unprecedented mass of candidates being allowed to run - by the Establishment right.

“Uhmm ... uhm. Josephus Flavius was a Jew.”

• So he claimed, but I don’t believe it. Joe indicated he was Pliny the Elder and that seems about right. But even if not, his auto-biography is not believable.
  

“So, similarly, having the rummies all blame 'the Jews', with a broad brush, deflects attention from the real problem.”

• As was “always” the intent.
  

“I have asked before, to dead silence, just when this period of wonderfulness was, and where there was not ever the underlying stench of Romanesque manipulation occurring?”

• I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of you articles on the “false dialect” plays out. But Cannibal Mary makes clear both the literal and figurative stench. Was Pliny, or whoever, taking credit for something already in play from Pre-Roman times?

Good point, and if true it only goes to our larger theme. In any case, even most Jews today claim him.

We should have the Isaac post out soon. A lot to be said about an otherwise pretty boring guy, whose father made him carry the wood for his own holocaust pyre.

As for your Pliny (Josephus) question, since it is claimed that he (as Josephus at least) was a descendant of the Maccabees then it becomes important to realize the subtext of what is being said about the Maccabee/Hasmonean's true nature in the texts named for them, instead of their being typically lionized as nationalist heroes. And then this extends equally to the entire OT corpus in that it is a string of narratives regarding the misadventures of a certain aristocratic clan, its various branches always clamoring against each other. And one, the branch supposedly doing the telling, have the Eternal Blessing granting them a preferential destiny for their scions.

This all holds true whether following standard chronology or a revised one as far as I can tell, BTW.

People usually snicker when they hear about the Euro-nobility's various claims to have had descent from Christ, taking it as just some means to garner undue legitimacy. But besides the fact that we now have a better idea of who Jesus Christ was (an avatar for the collective Caesars - followed by the popes), we also know that such as Julius Caesar began the otherwise already well known practice of alliance marriages in pagan Europe as part of his military campaigns. Thus, in this light, the claim doesn't sound so far fetched to me, at least. Don't make me go further ...

Joe and I once had a conversation about Britain and the Jews, and he proffered up that maybe the elite Brits are today really descendants of those Jews scattered about from long ago, and thus the real link to the insider aspect of the Shakespeare corpus. Well, I have some insight that it is still the Norman heritage that quietly has the true power behind the scenes/throne, and depending upon how the dots are connected, Joe might well be correct. That gets one to Nicholas DeVere's claims that: 1) the DeVere's are the number one Norman clan; and 2) that his red (orange) haired, green eyed lineage were/are the apex apes, the real Jews of the Bible.

The Normans were heavily involved with the foundation of the Templars, and curiously they erected so-called Romanesque architecture so alike the original type that professionals are hard pressed to distinguish between Roman and Romanesque. They instituted the most renowned universities of their time, all from peoples claimed to have been rude Vikings a few generations before.

For some reason Jerry and I obtained a book on Medieval art depicting the pagan gods. I thought it was remarkable that all the gods and important humans had .. red hair. In looking for color artwork for the OT posts, it seems that the Blessed Family is also depicted with .. red hair. Today, from archaeology of Alexander the Great's mother's tomb and what is known about her tribe, that Alexander most likely had .. red hair.

This path then leads to the Tudors (because of a need to include Brutus's lineage claims of the Welsh), Shakespeare, the contemporaneous DeVere and my distant relatives of Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire, ... and to stay on topic, even the Jesuits. Interesting to note, as discussed in detail by Ralph Ellis, was a unique Vesica Piscus shaped temple in the middle of the Roman fortress of Dewa, now a parking lot (car park) in Chester, the seat of Cheshire. You say Chester ... I say Chrester?

But, enough for now.

...the "all-seeing eye"; now, this is not an Illuminati symbol - but the symbol of the Jesuits.

Do be aware that The All-Seeing Eye is thousands of years older than "Christianity" or the Jesuits.

Fast-forward this video to 27:00 to see Klaus Dona talk about such artifacts...

 

[Richard Stanley]

Agreed, and thanks for the video (and pointing to the time). I also have to agree that the evidence is mounting that some sort of global 'civilization' existed long before, and likely destroyed by cosmic impactors and their follow-on chain of disruptions. That may very well be what we memorialize as Noah's Flood, rather than the much later regional flooding events in Mesopotamia or the Black Sea.

As such, I tend to view such phenomenon as the enigmatic Jesuits and the enigmatic Masons as integral and intertwined parts of some veiled entity to reassemble that order. Unfortunately for all of us, we don't know if the ultimate end is benign, as they all claim, or contains yet more venality with some percentage of good. The proverbial 'sausage making' process of Judeo-Roman (re?)globalization has been ugly, and even the Jesuits have as part of their creedo that sometimes the end justifies the means, and if need be that for the sake of the 'Church' that black is white and white is black. Nice allusion to the masonic checkerboard floor.

can you say?
X checker? London etc. words many many come from Veance like arsenal checker etc.
400 feet sea rise is a flood yes. After cosmic impact.

 

[Wolfsire]

... contains yet more venality ...

Lol, couldn't help but enjoy that.

Some more Saturn theory: venality, from Venus, alluding to prostitution as a vice, rather than a sacred act. what is good/bad, black/white? The symbol of the all seeing eye could date back 10-20k from the visual experience of the polar configuration- essentially, at capture by our sun, stellar Venus being born from the dying star Saturn. This started before there was day or night, with Mars between Earth and Venus, as such S-V-M-E in alignment seen in the north, even before the axis mundi, where plasma from S-V pushes M to E, causing the flood (star water, stellar protons hitting planetary oxygen). All those protons would also reduce gravity for megalithic and megafauna. Noah is Saturn, the arc the cresent on S from the light of sun, resting on the cosmic mountain axis mundi. The all seeming eye, with a blink of the eye at the beginning of time becomes the birth canal of the mother/whore goddess.

 

[Richard Stanley]

Lol, couldn't help but enjoy that.

Thx

Does the Electric Universe theory have the physics fully developed for all this? Not just the all seeing eye, but how the re-alignment to the present sun came about. This is affected by electrodynamics correct? Was the current sun (or the Saturn grouping) part of a sub galaxy being digested by the Milky Way, which is supposedly digesting a handfull of them at the moment? It would be nice to have this discussed on a separate thread of its own though.

I've been trying to keep my comments on Saturn Theory responsive to the ideas being discussed in the thread, and think it is useful in that regard, but a separate threat is a good idea, especially for questions that go off topic. So, I'll take a shot at making a new one and answering your question there.

If you figure that one out, let me know!

I've been trying to figure this out for 35 years. The only thing my research has confirmed with certainty is...

1. The war between Good and Evil has been raging for thousands of years.

2. Nobody really knows Who, or What is at the tippy-top of the Pyramid.

Aliens, Demon Yahweh, Lucifer, SuperJoos, rich azzholes, I've seen excellent cases for each, but nobody really knows. It's the best Mystery that exists!

1. The war between Good and Evil has been raging for thousands of years.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 KJV​

For all the KJV's faults, with this verse is the correct translation, i.e. not watered down like most of the others. It is, of course, a metaphorical reality, but it appears that while the muggles refuse to acknowledge this, because their God is now all about LOVE, there are yet some others who have chosen to systematically embody this aspect into their conduct for profit and amusement sake.

Queen Elizabeth II Owns 1/6 Of Earth’s Land, Could End Poverty And Hunger Instead Profits Off Our Enslavement: A New World Order
TOPICS:1/6AcresCanadaElizabethHungerIILandLandownerNew World OrderOwnsPovertyQueenTrillionWorld

What if I told you the Queen of England herself could solve poverty and world hunger HERSELF if she choose to? I know crazy right but hold on, �she owns about 1/6 of land of Earth. What’s truly crazy is someone can own a piece of Earth, it was here first. With all the money she and her cronies has hoarded as well as land, they could be helping the world over eradicate poverty and hunger. Instead like many greedy Capitalists, the use a piece a paper and class warfare as well as force through military’s or private security, have allowed Queen Elizabeth II to be a pivotal player within the New World Order.

She personally owns the land, owns, not rules or reigns over, and she owns more land than any government as well. Queen Elizabeth II, head of state of the United Kingdom and of 31 other states and territories, is the legal owner of about 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the earth�s non ocean surface. She is the only person on earth who owns whole countries, and who owns countries that are not her own domestic territory. This land ownership is separate from her role as head of state and is different from other monarchies where no such claim is made � Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc. The value of her land holding. �17,600,000,000,000 (approx). This makes her the richest individual on earth. However, there is no way easily to value her real estate. There is no current market in the land of entire countries. At a rough estimate of $5,000 an acre, and based on the sale of Alaska to the USA by the Tsar, and of Louisiana to the USA by France, the Queen�s land holding is worth a notional $33,000,000,000,000 (Thirty three trillion dollars or about �17,600,000,000,000). Her holding is based on the laws of the countries she owns and her land title is valid in all the countries she owns.

Who controls the crown?
The Royal Collection, which includes thousands of historic works of art and the Crown Jewels, is not owned by the Queen personally but is held in trust,[202] as are her official residences, such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle,[203] and theDuchy of Lancaster, a property portfolio valued in 2014 at £442 million.[204] Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle are privately owned by the Queen.[203] The British Crown Estate – with holdings of £9.4 billion in 2014[205] – is held in trust by the sovereign and cannot be sold or owned by Elizabeth in a private capacity.[206]
