Jesuits, Freemasons, Communists, Jews, Synarchy – same claims

Jesuits, Freemasons, Communists, Jews, Synarchy – same claims, different targets, or the same conspiracy?

Umberto Eco in the end of Foucault pendulum echoed the common explanation: conspiracy theoreticians make the same accusations against different groups. That does sound like we were talking about invented accusations. If the same accusations are made against so different groups as Jesuits, Freemasons, Communists, Jews, Synarchy, then surely these accusations are baseless and come from the same defamation factory.

That seems like a reasonable opinion, but it is not true. There was only one conspiracy of this type in Europe after the medieval times. The different groups are not all so different, and though some groups are from another or opposite camp, the accusations still originally focused the same group. This is especially so with the Jesuits; the Society was once infiltrated and the accusations can be tracked to that time.

These types of conspiracy theories are collectively called New World Order (NWO) theories or New World Order Conspiracy Theories. The term implies that there is a secret group of people (a secret society, a secret party, a secret group of bankers), which either tries to take over the world or has done it already and intends to impose a new social order, which usually is imagined as a totalitarian one.

When should an analysis of events be called a conspiracy theory and when is a conspiracy theory a New World Order Conspiracy Theory? This seems to be not so clear.

The official version of 9/11 is that a conspiracy of Arab terrorists planned and executed the strike and the terrorists belonged to Islamic extremists, who want to destroy the Western world and democracy and currently try to take over many Islamic countries. This sounds like a NWO theory as there is the accusation of trying to take over countries and destroying the present order, but it is not called a NWO theory.

It is even not called a conspiracy theory thought it tells that a conspiracy of Arab terrorists lead by Osama Bin Laden did the strike, and this is a theory and not supported by evidence. Why is it not? I do not know, probably because the main media supports the official version.

The controlled demolition theory of 9/11 is called a conspiracy theory in the main media, though it is backed by evidence and analysis. This theory is considered as an analysis of events in the 911 Truth movement.

The most common version of the 9/11 demolition theory is not called a NWO theory, as it implies that the US government was behind the strike. Such a theory claims only that the USA made yet another false flag attack, but not that there is a shadowy group that tries to take over the world or has already done so. So it is not NWO. The Jews-did-it version of 911 is clearly a NWO theory.

So, what is the rule? It seems to be that NWO is traditionally a synonym to the “Freemasons-Jewish bankers” theory and Communists are included to it because Communists were seen as a continuation of this plot. As nobody wants to mention the Jews in order not to be called anti-Semitic, the character of a NWO is blurred, but if Arabs, or Chinese, or Russians try to take over the world, it is not NWO.

So far this seems clear, but some people try to confuse issues by adding the Jesuits. The theory of Jesuit take-over is indeed called a NWO theory, but mainly by the apologists of the “Freemasons-Jewish bankers” theory. Its goal is to imply that the real danger comes from the Vatican. (This fear sounds really medieval, the Pope does not any more have such power.)

Likewise there is the Synarchy theory, which proposes that there is a right-wing Nazi group, which tries to take over the world. Both cases, the Jesuits and the Synarchy, are quite pertinent to NWO. It is easy to show that these are not any counterexamples or alternative bad guys, both these theories are connected to the real NWO conspiracy.

There was the real NWO conspiracy: it was the Freemason plot and it was not any conspiracy theory. The New World means America and the New World Order meant the new social order, that is, the American way, democracy. Freemasons continued their conspiratorial activities from 1770ies to 1870ies. In the 19^th century the subversive activity of Freemasons was lead by Memphis and Misraim lodges. These lodges were renewed after the Paris Commune failed and after that time Freemasonry was not planning revolutions or wars, though they participated in two cases of starting a war or a revolution (the Freemason plot to start the First World War and the Freemason help to raise Communists to power in the Russian Revolution), but not as the main planners.

The Freemason NWO theory is a historical fact and used to be well known, but after the WWII there has been an effort to whitewash them and to name the correct history of subversive Freemasonry a conspiracy theory. As secret societies try to work in secrecy, not everything is known. This is one of the reasons why it is possible to claim that the accusations are only a conspiracy theory. In a similar way, intelligence agencies also deny their operations. Fortunately, enough is known of Freemasons.

The subversive activity of Freemasonry started from the Bavarian Illuminati in 1776. The founder of this organization, Adam Weishaupt, was a Jew, who had converted to the Catholic fait, had been in a Jesuit school and worked as a professor in a chair that traditionally had belonged to Jesuits. That seems to point out to Jesuits, but before concluding that the Illuminati had links to Jesuits, let us notice that before 1776 the Society of Jesus had been suppressed in most countries. The first one to suppress them was Portugal in 1759. In some countries Jesuits were allowed to continue (Russia, Prussia and the USA), but in Frankfurt, where the Illuminati was founded, the Society of Jesus was suppressed in 1773 by the Papal order: under pressure Pope Clement XIV was forced to extinguish the society in 1773. There are no indications that Weishaupt belonged to some kind of secret Jesuit order, or that there was such, but he probably did use Jesuit’s organization as a model for the Illuminati structure.

From the web pages of Freemasonry it appears that Weishaupt only wanted the best of the humanity but the subversive program of the Illuminati is well outlined in the documents that were obtained by the Bavarian police. Because of these documents Illuminati was dissolved by the Bavarian Government in 1784. Illuminati had managed to infiltrate Freemasonry elsewhere. Freemason John Robinson exposed Illuminati’s plans and infiltration to Freemasonry in Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798, [1] and Masons made an effort to purge Illuminati from their ranks, but they did not succeed.

In the time of Napoleonic wars it was clear to everybody that the Illuminati had not disappeared in the 1780ies: the French revolution of 1789 had ties to Freemasonry and the program of the Jacobin Club was similar to the program of Illuminati. In the War and Peace Tolstoy has one character, the Freemason Pierre, testifying that the Illuminati was still alive in Russia after 1812. Indeed, they tried a Decembrist coup in 1825.

For a long time it was unclear where precisely the Illuminati survived, as it is difficult to track the moves of secret organizations. An English conspiracy theoretician Nesta H. Webster thought in [2] that the Illuminati continued as the Haute Vente Romana, the headquarters of Carbonaries, but this is not quite correct even though Carbonaries were co-operating with revolutionary Freemasons. Now it is known that the Illuminati continued in France in the lodges of Philadelphes and Philaletles, which later were known as the Memphis and Misraim lodges.

With time revolutionary Freemasonry become more and more Leftist and turned to revolutionary Socialism and Communism. Marxism started as a secret society, though not as Freemasonry. Trotsky studied revolutionary Freemasonry in the prison. The Bolshevik Revolution resembles the French Revolution because Communists adopted many methods from Freemasons and Jacobins. Anarchy, like Communism has the origins in revolutionary Freemasonry. Proudhon (Sincérité, Parfaite Union et Constante Amitié, Besançon 1847) Bakunin (Lodge Il Progresso Sociale, Florence 1864) and were Freemasons, possibly also Kropotkin, although his membership is not proven.

The role of Jews in Bolshevik Revolution is not so commonly known today as earlier because the media prefers to suppress the issue. Earlier, the large representation of Jews in Bolshevism was well known in the Great Britain, the USA and Germany. In Lenin’s government almost all were Jews. Many, if not most, Communistic leaders who were not Jews, had Jewish wife. Jews were heading the secret police Czeka at the time of the worst purges and are responsible of the death of at least 10 million. The role of Jews decreased in the end of Stalin’s reign, especially after Trotsky was forced to leave. Close to the end of his life Stalin become suspicious of Jews and blamed that Jewish doctors were murdering many high Communistic non-Jewish leaders. The doctors were convicted. Soon Stalin died and the Jewish doctors were announced innocent. The cause of death of Stalin was verified to be by rat poison by a Russian-American investigation in 2005. So, today it is said in the main media that Stalin was really paranoid fearing that somebody tried to poison him.

The USA was not the main enemy of Communism in the beginning. Indeed, Woodrow Wilson and the USA Congress were delighted by the Bolshevik Revolution, and helped Trotsky to get to Russia with German funds. Let us recall that Tsar’s Russia was on the Allied side in 1917, thus Americans, and also British and Canadians, were helping the enemy by facilitating a revolution. Wall Street bankers also planned the first 5-year plans and funded the new communistic state. This does not go well with the common argument that the British and the USA never forgave the nationalization – but after all, mostly French investments were nationalized. What went wrong with these warm relations that the USA later so hated the Commies? Probably the issue was that Stalin threw Trotsky out and shot most of the leading Communistic Jews.

The USA features in the Freemason conspiracy. George Washington and many other founding fathers were Freemasons. On the dollar bill there is the Masonic Great Pyramid and the Masonic all-seeing eye. These connections are of course true, it was a Freemason country in the beginning. Today there are some powerful lobbies. Any desired number of books, many freely available, can be found from these issues, like [3]-[6], but they do not add much to what is generally known.

More interesting is the putative connection of Freemasons and Jewish Cabbalists. It is not that the modern world is now run by Cabbalists or other occultists. It is not, but in the history these esoteric teachings played some role. The only Freemason lodges, which included Cabbalism, were the revolutionary Memphis and Misraim lodges. They were just those lodges where Frankist converts joined in. It is this well known connection between Frankists and Freemasons from around 1770 to about 1850: many Frankists joined Freemasonry after converting to the Catholic faith, but there is also an earlier connection if we agree than in the writings of Jacob Frank the word Baalakaben means Freemasons. I cannot think it means anything else. If so, Frank was working for Freemasons and probably was paid for it. But this is known.

A more intriguing question is whether there was a connection between Rabbi Dr. Samuel Hayyim Falk, the Ba’al Shem of London and Rosicrucians or other non-Jewish esoteric circles. Falk was a practical cabbalist and as a Ba’al Shem he very probably was a member of Nistarim. Falk was accused of being a Sabbatean. Nesta Webster made the claim that there was a connection between Falk, Cagliostro and Swedenborg. Falk moved to London some time after 1736. He was a neighbor of Emmanuel Swedenborg, so that connection is more than likely. It would be fascinating if there was a connection between Falk and Cagliostro, who was involved in the French revolution (in the necklace of Marie Antoinette). I have not been able to verify this connection. Whether there was a connection or not is of course not so relevant to the modern world, but it would clarify if the medieval Nistarim secret society had some direct effect to later developments. I have earlier written that medieval practical cabbalists probably were spreading the Black Death and doing ritual murders. But that was a long time ago. It is very possible that there is no direct connection and the closest connection between Freemasons and Cabbalists is Jacob Frank.

The connection between Freemasons and practical Cabbalists through Falk is not confirmed, but it is possible. The later connection through Frank is certain. There are also well known connections between Freemasons and Zionists, such as Mordecai Noah.

There were connections between Communists and Zionists. Moses Hess (1812-1875) was both a Communist and a Zionist and strongly influenced Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This is nothing new: we know that the first Zionists were Communists and wanted to build Kibbutzes.

There is an alleged letter of a Jew called Baruch Levy to Karl Marx printed in a French literary magazine ‘La Revue de Paris’, p.574, June 1, 1928: “The Jewish people taken collectively will be its own Messiah. His reign over the Universe will be obtained by the unification of the human races and through the elimination of frontiers… and so on.” But it is not known who this Baruch Levy was and if this letter is a fabrication. The magazine is not a credited history journal, so this lead must be discarded.

We have to remember that there are lots of falsifications in this topic. It is not only the main media which cheats: the opponents are fabricating evidence and false accusations. Every claim has to be checked, it is very possibly untrue.

I personally like the warning of Heinrich Heine from 1842: “Communism is the secret name of this formidable adversary, who posits the rule of the proletariat with all its consequences in opposition to the current regime of the bourgeoisie. … For our part we only know that communism, though little talked about at present, and though it lives a sickly existence in hidden garrets on miserable straw, is even so the somber hero to whom an enormous, though transitory, role is reserved in the modern tragedy, and which is only waiting for its cue to come on stage.”  So, Heine sounds like an opponent of Communism quite early on. Marx and Engels had not yet written the Communistic Manifesto of 1848. Heine also wrote “Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.” That sounds anti-capitalistic, but actually Heinrich Heine was a frequent visitor in the house of James de Rothschild in Paris. What I found surprising is that the threat of Communists was known before the Manifesto.

The role of the Jewish banker Jacob Schiff in the Russian revolutions is prominent. He arranged a big loan to Japan in the Russo-Japanese war 1904-05 and made it difficult for Russia to get any loans from the USA. This largely determined the outcome of the war. Schiff was an ardent Zionist and together with B’nai B’rith helped Jews to migrate to the USA (to Galvestone) as a temporary stop in the migration to Palestine. Schiff probably funded Trotsky in the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917.

The Rothschild family funded both sides of Napoleonic wars: it is possible to make lots of money in wars and revolutions. Later the Rothschild family supported Zionism. Freemasonic and Communistic revolutionaries undoubtedly had some economic supporters since making revolutions requires funding, but I could not find any binding evidence that the Rothschild family funded either group of these revolutionaries. Possibly Freemasons were funded by other Freemasons and some Communists had rich parents and Jacob Schiff as supporters.

A less known, but provable, connection is between theosophy, O.T.O. and Nazis and the so called Synarchy plot. When the Paris Commune fell, the revolutionary Freemason lodges largely stopped. Memphis and Misraim Freemasonry was reorganized as Memphis-Misraim rite Freemasonry, which was no longer revolutionary. But there was an effort to create new Illuminati. The Theosophical Society took part in this effort together with Freemasons and other esoteric societies. Instead of new political Illuminati, they created O.T.O., which focused on occult. But O.T.O. was not the only new effort. Theosophists were active in the Fabian Society and in the separation of India form England. It may be said that some credit in breaking up the British Empire goes to political Theosophy.

I hold the minority opinion that Nazism was an infiltration effort of Theosophy. After the Napoleonic wars there were anti-Napoleon and anti-Leftist Freemasonry lodges in Germany and elsewhere. One such lodge, the Germanic Order, was in my opinion infiltrated by Rudolf von Sebottendorf, who had some Theosophical background. He split the Germanic Order and created the Thule Society, which founded the party that soon become the Nazi party. Especially the fast speed by which everything happened seems suspicious to me. If this was infiltration, as I think, then similar efforts for rightist take over, the so called Synarchy, are actually connected to newer form of Freemasonry related esoteric activity after the Paris Commune: Theosophy, Martinism, O.T.O. Synarchy as a term and concept belongs to Martinism.

Finally there is the Jesuit plot for conquering the world. The plot, Monita secreta Sociatis Iesu, appeared first in print as Monita private Societatis Iesu in Notobrigae in Krakow in 1612. Jesuits claimed that it is a falsification written by a disgruntled Jesuit-student Hieronymus Zahorowski, who had severed his connection with the Society in 1611. Let us accept that Zahorowski may have been the person to get this document and to hand it to be printed, but did he write it and was it written in 1612?

P.D. Stuart claims in his book Codeword Barbelon from 2006 that in the British Museum is a work titled Hce Formulae Provisionum diversarum: a Gaspare Passarello, summo studio in unum, printed in Venice in 1596, contains at the end a copy of the Secreta Monita.  This information is not originally from Stuart, it is from a study by Robert J. Breckinridge in 1835 [7]. Breckinridge was a politician and a priest. He wrote a book against Jesuits and it would be very strange if he did not check the existence of the book. He adds that “the Secret a Monita, in Latin is copied in Manuscript, apparently by a Jesuit, for his own private use; — with solemn cautions at the end, similar to those found in the printed preface to the work itself, that the utmost care was to be taken that few, and these most trusty, should know…”  Let us assume this information is correct: Monita Secreta existed already in 1596, and it was in use by Jesuits.

Just a bit earlier, in 1593, Jesuits started using purity of blood rules, Limpieza de sangre, to deny acceptance of New Christians to the Society of Jesus. New Christians were from families, which recently converted to Christianity from Judaism or Islam. The strict rule was in force between 1593 and 1608. After 1608 the background of an applicant to Jesuits was checked, but Jewish origins did not automatically exclude a person from membership. From the time of the establishment of the Society, 1540, to 1593 there were no restrictions against New Christians. What happened in 1593 that caused the Jesuits to apply the Spanish Limpieza de sangre?

In Monita Secreta, the Jesuit general, who has given the secret orders to Jesuits, is the fifth supreme general of the Society, Claudia Acquaviva. In Robert Alexander Maryks’ study “The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews”(2010) in [8] tells a different story, but also there Claudia Acquaviva gives secret orders. These orders do not have to goal of gathering wealth to the Society with what-ever means possible. The secret order that Acquaviva in reality gave according to [8] was to apply blood purity laws in order to stop admission of converted Jews to the Society of Jesuits.

The study [8] explains the reasons for Acquaviva’s orders. The founder of the Jesuit order, Ignatius de Loyola, was pro-converso and pro-Jewish, but he had included into the Jesuit Constitution a rule that from everyone wanting to join Jesuits should be asked if he is a New Christian. If this practice had been done, it had been possible to limit the number of conversos and to know who were conversos, but the practice was not continued. Loyola had converse co-workers, such as Juan Alfonso de Polanco and Jeronimo Nadal. When Loyola died, as the new supreme general was elected a converso, Diego Laynez. His closest men were conversos: Juan Alfonso de Polanco, Jeronimo Nadal and Christobal de Madrid. Laynez still did not allow conversos to become the majority of new admissions, but under the third supreme general, Francisco de Borja (of the family of Pope Alexander VI and Cesare Borgia) the Jesuit Order become to be seen as a Jewish Synagogue. Conversos had made a complete take-over of the Society.

After Borje died, there was the counterstrike. Italian and Portuguese anti-converso lobby, most prominent being Benedetto Palmio, managed to elect Everard Mercurian as the fourth supreme general and after him Claudio Acquaviva. Under these generals the Jesuit Order pushed conversos from leading roles and stopped admission of new conversos. The purity of blood rule was mitigated in 1608, but conversos never gained back the power that they had obtained in the early years.

The study in [8] describes the actions of Acquaviva. He asked his trusted men, many of whom were anti-converso, to give opinions what should be improved in the Society. These opinions presented converted Jews as troublemakers, who should not be accepted to the Society. In 1590 Acquaviva gave secret orders to Spanish provincials to exclude New Christians from jobs that were very visible to the outside world, as their presence irritated Spanish nobles. Acquaviva did not at this point ban all of Jewish origins from joining the Society. Three years later, in 1593, Acquaviva imposed the Limpieza de sangre, which made it impossible for New Christians to join Jesuits. [8] suggests the reason was that memorialistas had tried a revolt against the way Acquaviva ruled the Society. The memorialistas were a group of Spanish Jesuits, largely conversos, who were sending secret memorandums to the Spanish crown, the Inquisition and the Pope in order to get the supreme general of Jesuits (Mercurian and Acquaviva) change his orders. It was a rebel in a military order like that of Jesuits.

Whether the problem of conversos was only that they gained power in the Society, or were the conversos also leading the Society in a non-Christian spirit, is not well answered by [8]. It is explained that Palmio thought that New Christians were still Jews and “overly ambitious, insolent, Janus-faced, pretentious, despotic, astute, terrible, greedy for power, and infamous”, and that “the neophytes want to dominate everywhere and this is why the Society is agitated by the tempest of discords and acrimonies”, and that “all their and our evils proceeded from neophytes and especially from those who governed in Rome”.

“Being children of this world, pompous, cunning, fake, self-seeking, etc.,it is certain that they fit religious life very badly and that it is impossible to maintain union with them. If those of this blood are made superiors, they employ almost all their government in external things: they promote genuine mortification and solid virtues very little and seem to be merchants, seeking first seats and being called rabbis; they are hardly eager to seek perfection that is described in the parts 5 and 6 of the Constitutions; and readily admit others of the same blood who are very unworthy.” [8]

It is difficult to say how much there is anti-Semitism, how much depends on cultural differences only, but clearly there was an anti-converso lobby in the Society of Jesus and Acquaviva was part of it. If Monita secreta was written before 1596, then it probably was an effort of pro-converso lobby to defame Acquaviva. An inside converse lobby is the most likely origins of Monita Secreta. The main outside enemy of Jesuits was Jansenists, but why would Jansenists need to falsify a document against Jesuits? Later the main opponent of Jesuits was Freemasonry. They could have falsified, but in 1612 Freemasonry did not exist.

From this I conclude that in the Jesuit NOW, actually the ones involved in it are echoes of the same ones as in the other NWO theories.

There are few other NWO theories that can be briefly commented. One, proposed by Marvin Antelman [9] and supported by Henry Makov and others, is that Frankists and Sabbateans would be still there somewhere. There still are a few Dönmeh members, a Sabbatean group in Turkey, but Frankists and Sabbatean are not controlling this world, and they never were so numerous. This theory is simply nonsense.

Dan Brown’s version of the Jesus descendant theory in M. Baigent, R. Leigh,and H. Lincoln, The Holy Grail and The Holy Blood is also wrong. There is a valid question what happened to the Hasmonean and Herodean families, some nobles escaped to France or Spain, maybe even to England. It is also valid to ask what happened to the medieval Exilarch family in Narbonne, but the answer to both questions is most probably that they disappeared. There is no such very long family track. There is only a nation track. The valid track is to follow the Messianic idea through the centuries in one ethnic group.
