Anatomy of a Revolution, Part I
Anatomy of a Revolution, Part I
This hydra has many heads...
“Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world."
— Voltaire, Enlightenment Philosopher and Freemason
Before we as citizens can begin to understand or maneuver ourselves out of our cultural and spiritual morass, we must first go back and seek to understand the true history of our countries. The war between truth and lies, light and darkness, is a long and winding road; from the Garden to today. The agents of the father of lies have taken many forms, and they have created a tapestry of malefic organizations to accomplish that agenda. Chief among these organizations have been the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Jesuits, and the satanic illuminated bloodlines.
I have discussed primarily the Freemasons thus far in my work, as they are the overtly political wing of this occult array. As Fritz Springmeir details in his meticulously cited work, Bloodlines of the Illuminati, chief amongst these ruling families are: “the Mellons, Carnegies, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Dukes, Astors, Dorrances, Reynoldses, Stilimans, Bakers, Pynes, Cuilmans, Watsons, Tukes, Kleinworts, DuPonts, Warburgs, Phippses, Graces, Guggenheims, Milners, Drexels, Winthrops, Vanderbilts, Whitneys, [and the] Harknesses.” My hope is that this chronicle will ultimately help further reveal the true forces behind our own American Revolution and history, for these foul actors have afflicted this world for many centuries beyond the ones we will discuss here. Throughout this essay, I will clearly demonstrate the occult forces that have driven at least the last 300 years of our world history, if not more. The foundations of our civilization have been built upon quicksand, and before we can seek to right these wrongs me must first rebuild our understanding upon that righteous and sturdy foundation that is Jesus Christ.
It is clear upon deeper inspection that these organizations all ultimately serve the same master and the same goals. What appears to the pagan, materialist, or atheist as chaos or disunity amongst these arbiters of cultural destruction can be elucidated once we apply this principal. What once looked like wars between elite or rival factions amongst the nations can be correctly interpreted as contrived wars amongst a shadow ruling elite to further their nefarious goals. When you control or fund all sides of a conflict, an outcome in your favor is assured.
One of the key precepts of Masonry - derived from Kabbalah – is Ordo ab Chao, or Order from Chaos. Out of the destruction of the current order, they can remake man in their dark and twisted image. I do not discount that very base human desires have driven powerful men throughout history, but just as Christianity has changed and taken different forms throughout history, so too have the followers of the god of this world.
For two thousand years, the sole organization that has stood opposed to the interests of these servants of darkness has been The Church, in all her forms. For most of our history after Christ’s ascent into Heaven, that entity has been the Catholic Church specifically, despite her very human flaws throughout the ages. For this reason, the agents of the false light have done everything in their power to advance their agendas in such a way that it weakens her hold upon the minds of men. They have infiltrated and subverted the Church, they have created imitation doctrines that seek to draw His flock astray, and they have created a plethora of spiritual traps to ensnare His people. The period of time we are about to analyze and discuss is a perfect encapsulation of this satanic agenda and the beginning of a revolution not simply against an earthly king or a church, but the opening salvo of a grandiose assault in this millennia long war against God himself.
The revolution that most embodies these principles is what we call the French Revolution, but is better understood as the Third Masonic Revolution.
— Liberty (Marianne) Leading the People, ill. by Freemason Eugène Delacroix
To understand the sinister forces that currently hold court in the ruins of our once Christian civilizations, we must go back and reanalyze what we thought we once knew. We must rediscover and heed the warnings of our prescient ancestors who alerted us against these hidden forces long ago.
Our chronicle starts in London, June 24th, 1717. Masonic historians cite this date as the foundation of the United Grand Lodge of England, when the disparate English lodges unified under one recognized authority. The Mason’s own founding myths betray the much older history of their organization. What exactly were they unifying if this was the creation of a supposedly new organization? Freemasons and Jesuits were also integral to the Cromwellian Revolution in England just three-score years before, clearly demonstrating the longevity that these entities have had within Europe before the alleged founding date of 1717. But nevertheless, we will see that the day and year of their founding holds deep occult significance.
The date of the founding of modern Freemasonry, as stated above, was June 24th, 1717. As we know already, these folks are not just picking these dates out of thin air. Fors Fortuna was an ancient Roman festival celebrated on, wouldn’t you know, June 24th; a festival dedicated to the Roman goddess of Luck, Fortuna. On that date in 1717 it was also the conjunction of the Planet Venus and the Sun, both of which are Masonic and occult symbols for Lucifer. In astrological terms, which the occultist places deep significance in, a conjunction is formed when the orbit of celestial bodies brings them into perfect alignment with each other. We see the day itself is an invocation of luck and victory, at a zenith of Lucifer’s astrological power. For that reason many battles have been fought on this day.
When interpreted through Kabbalistic Gematria, Yod (10) Zayin (7), is a representation and allusion to victory. It is also a veiled reference to the 17th tarot card, The Star. The Star is considered a symbol of renewal, fortune and power. In the pagan religions who Masons draw their symbols from, the eight pointed star (seen on the next page) represents Ishtar and Venus. The eight pointed star was also seen on jewelry and temples dedicated to these pagan goddesses. Both are representations of different aspects of Lucifer, and the direct inspiration for the pagan goddess of America, Libertas. The double instance of 17, as seen in the year 1717, doubles the power of the invocation in the eyes of the magick practitioner. Within the date and year of the founding of modern Masonry we have various invocations towards victory, luck, a new endeavor and Lucifer.
His followers chose that day to launch their new order, harnessing the voluminous evil energy in service of their goals and in worship of their true dark god.
Freemasonry made its way to mainland Europe from England either in 1688, 1721, or 1725, depending on the source and tradition. We see once again the discrepancy in dates betrays a much older tradition of Freemasonry than most Masonic historians will openly admit. What is clear is that these new unified national lodges would cement Masons as a shadow aristocracy within European and American politics for centuries to come. According to the Grand Orient de France, they state their founding as 1725 and the first Grandmaster as Philip, Duke of Wharton. All sources agree that the English masons helped found these lodges throughout France, and the ties between these two branches of Freemasonry would grow stronger throughout the 18th century.
For the next thirteen years, Masonry would flourish within France, with lodges being established by and comprised of the elite members of society. In the aftermath of the raid of a Masonic lodge in Florence, Pope Clement XII issued the following papal bull (emphasis mine):
“We consider it our duty to watch day and night, as a faithful servant of the household of the Lord, lest such men [Freemasons and other occultic groups] do not break into the house like thieves, and like foxes seek to destroy the vineyard, thereby perverting the hearts of the simple and piercing them with their poisoned arrows. To block that broad road that may be opened to unpunished sins committed, and for other just and reasonable causes known to Us from secure sources … after mature deliberation and using our full power, We do hereby determine and decree the condemnation and prohibition of those societies called Freemasons or any other name they may go by, and do so by Our present Constitution, valid in perpetuity.
Wherefore We prohibit most strictly and in virtue of holy obedience each and all of the faithful of Jesus Christ of whatever state, degree, condition, rank, dignity and prominence, be they lay or clerical, secular or regular, even those who are entitled to special mention, to dare or presume under any pretext or reason to enter the aforesaid societies of the Freemasons or whatever name they are called, or to propagate, support or receive them in their homes or to give them shelter or hide them, be enrolled among them, joined to them, present with them, or give them power or the means to meet, or to help them in any way - advice, encouragement or support - either openly or secretly, directly or indirectly, personally or through intermediaries, by any manner whatsoever…”
Pope Clement’s decree would do little to stem the growing tide of Masonic influence within the Church and Christendom. The Jesuit Order was already rife with Masons, and many high ranking members of the clergy still owed allegiance to the Freemasons, despite the Pope’s righteous edict. Certain Parisian lodges were said to have been comprised solely of clergyman. France’s parliaments refused to recognize this bull, and as a result, Masonry would propagate extensively within the country.
From 1738 to 1789, the lodges would thrive across Europe and the New World. In America, Masonic lodges were established in Boston in 1733; Savannah, GA in 1734; Charleston, SC in 1735; New Hampshire in 1736; and New York in 1737. Freemasons had been operating in Philadelphia since 1730, although some traditions hold that the Boston lodge was established in 1720 and is therefore the first lodge in America. In France, over twenty Masonic lodges were established in Paris and Lyon by 1789. Bordeaux, Caen, Marseille, Nantes, Rouen, Strasbourg, and Toulouse would become hot-spots of Freemason activity as this luciferian ideology spread its tentacles throughout France.(L’Historie, Issue #256, 2001.)

The seeds of revolution had been sown. The intellectuals elites of France, and many other countries, had been captured by this point. John Locke, Isaac Newton, Anthony Ashley Cooper, Thomas Paine and Adam Smith are just a few of the notable English elites who once owed their allegiance to this ancient fraternity. In the pre-revolutionary era in France, influential Freemasons included: The Duke of Orleans, the Marquis de Lafayette, the renegade priest Talleyrand, Jean-Paul Marat, Georges Danton, future King of Sweden Jean Bernadotte, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire and Maximillian Robespierre. French Masons were the central planners of this incipient revolution, and critical to laying the moral and psychological underpinnings of the movement.
For decades leading up to the Revolution, Masons had assaulted the Crown intellectually and chipped away at its legitimacy. The Masons had necessarily assaulted and undermined the Catholic Church as well, as it was the true foundation of French society. They were the driving force behind radical Jacobinism. They owned the printing presses and newspapers, and had used both to virulently attack Christianity as an antiquated belief system. Without the intellectual seeds of humanist Unitarianism masquerading as religious liberty, or the hollow promises of equality amongst all classes and sexes, the French and American revolutions could not have gotten off the ground.

As French debts spiraled from endless wars abroad during the 1780’s, (sound familiar?) the parliament and nobility of France refused to collect taxes or approve new taxes for the servicing of this war debt. As the debt ballooned to untenable levels and a potential default loomed, King Louis XVI demanded his advisors come up with a solution. At a budgetary impasse due to the inability to raise new taxes, devaluation of the currency was the only alternative to default. Inflation soared as the currency was debased, trading one economic disaster for another. Farmers and urban peasantry were crushed by the inflation and soaring prices, stoking tensions even further against the Crown.
Boy this sureee does sound familiar, but let us continue. In 1789, the Estates-General was reinstated to address this rising tide of resentment, a sort of medieval version of a Constitutional convention. Compromised of three estates, this long standing medieval legal framework served as the inspiration for the American separation of powers. The first estate consisted of the clergy, the second estate the nobles, and the third estate the people. With the crown, clergy and commoners unable to agree on any changes to taxation, the proceedings eventually destabilized and fell apart.
“We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view.
A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”
— Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite and 33rd degree Freemason
The third estate, the commoners, declared a new revolutionary council called the National Assembly. They were joined by notable Masons such as Grandmaster Louis Phillipe of Orleans, who many within France (including Marie Antoinette) thought had been angling for the throne for some time. Upwards of a quarter of the Assembly was either suspected or openly a member of the Freemasons. The National Assembly quickly ratified the Masonic Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen, and the real purpose for this revolution soon became clear. Quickly after the ratification of this radical new constitution, the National Assembly confiscated all ecclesiastical goods and property.
In 1790, Catholic religious orders were suppressed and clergy were demanded to swear an oath of allegiance to this novus ordo. In 1791 the second revolutionary parliament, the Legislative Assembly, was even more incendiary in their decrees: no fault divorce was legalized for the first time in French history. In 1792, non-compliant clergy were issued decrees of banishment. In response, this led to widespread attacks on the clergy and faithful. In Paris alone, four hundred priests and a thousand Catholic nobles were guillotined, summarily executed or savagely beaten to death in what is now called the September Massacres. These attacks would be repeated throughout the country as the revolutionaries unleashed their atheistic fury upon the Christians of France.
— Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789
Seeking to establish a legal framework for the revolution against the French crown, the Legislative Assembly was dissolved and the National Convention was established in September of 1792. Its first act was to abolish the monarchy and proclaim the birth of the French republic. The next year, after a failed attempt to flee the country, King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were beheaded by guillotine in Paris before a roaring crowd. Thus began the Reign of Terror, a period in which the guillotines ran so continuously that the streets of Paris were said to have ran slick with rivers of blood. Hundreds of thousands were imprisoned as enemies of the state. Tens of thousands were recorded to have met their end at the blade of a guillotine.
In La Vendee, upwards of 200,000 civilians were massacred by revolutionary forces from 1793 to 1796. The Christian calendar was destroyed, replaced with a new calendar devoid of Catholic feasts or Christian holidays. Notre Dame was ransacked and converted into the blasphemous Temple of Reason. Libertas was enthroned upon the principal altar of this cathedral, a sacrilegious sacrament for the goddess of this Masonic revolution. Clergy were banished, killed, and imprisoned – often to their martyrdom. Across the country, churches were ravaged, desecrated, violated, ransacked, pillaged, put to the fire and utterly destroyed. It remains to this day one of the most bloody and persecutory eras in Christian history.

We see in propaganda from the Revolutionary Era in France that Masonic imagery abounds. The red Liberty Cap, seen in artwork and posters of the period, was derived from the Roman pileus, a felt cap worn by emancipated slaves and members of the Illuminati. As we have covered previously, the Roman goddess of slaves, exiles and harlots was Libertas. Libertas was also referred to as Marianne by French Masonic artists and sculptors, similar to Columbia for the American Revolution. We can see the Phyrgian cap is a very direct insignia of the pagan goddess Libertas, and another not so subtle reference to Lucifer. The Masonic square is featured quite prominently in an inverted position, evoking the pyramid and the alchemical Great Work. The All Seeing Eye also makes many an appearance upon the posters, coinage, and artwork of the era, as we can see below.
— Propaganda posters from the French Revolution, 1789-1799, laden with masonic symbols and imagery. “Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood”, the Masonic battle cry of the French Revolution.
Eventually the Revolution, like Saturn, would eat its own children. One day a man was a hero, the next an enemy of the republic. Brother Masons turned against their Brothers, neighbor against neighbor; an orgy of bloodshed and violence bathed France for nearly a decade. The country was awash with the blood of revolutionaries and martyrs for Christ as scenes from the Book of Revelations, Isaiah or Daniel unfolded daily. Untold horrors plagued the countryside, and violence scarcely seen until the World Wars of the 20th century marred the land. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of Frenchmen gave their lives so that society might be remade in the Masons unholy image. The “great social cataclysm” that Albert Pike would later describe was first unleashed here, upon an unsuspecting French citizenry.
These are the fruits of the French Revolution, a revolution spawned by Freemasons and bathed in their occult imagery. It was nothing less than the culmination of the Masonic ideals of Liberty and Equality. It was a revolution not against tyranny or injustice, that much is clear; the revolutionaries were a greater terror to the people than the French monarchy had ever been. With one hand these hypocrites would write of the joys of religious equality, and with the other they would toss a torch into the pulpits of France. With imagery evocative of Revelation 20:4, the faithful martyrs were beheaded by those who had been crying for religious egalite just moments before. Cries for liberte were simply a rhetorical Trojan horse to capture the levers of power for their own ends. The French Revolution was more than a mere revolution against the established authorities, more than a simple revolt against the church or the monarchy; this was a satanically inspired assault upon Christendom that would serve as the beach head for further depravities and destruction to come.
Desperate for a savior from the crazed and demonically inspired radicals that terrorized France, the common folk would accept anyone capable of putting an end to their long national nightmare.
The Freemasons had just the man for the job.
