1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Throughout recorded history, mankind has dreamt of building the perfect society, an empire

2
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,280
that might somehow satisfy the needs of every man.

3
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Ancient legend cast the shadows of one such society that is said to have existed long ago.

4
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato set down a dialogue called the

5
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,000
crudious. He recounted the story of an ancient Greek poet and statesman named Solan.

6
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,960
Solan had journey to Egypt in search of wisdom to help the government of his beloved

7
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Greece. The Greeks had been beset with factions and troubles.

8
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:04,360
So Solan took counsel from the priests of the city of Sais.

9
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,440
An old priest told him, oh Solan, Solan, you Greeks are never anything but children.

10
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:19,640
There is no old opinion handed down among you, nor any science that is white with age.

11
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:26,000
The old priest then proceeded to tell him the story of the law city of Atlantis.

12
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,800
In the centuries that would follow, scholars and researchers have debated whether Plato's

13
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:46,480
Atlantis was intended to be an account of real history or simply an allegorical myth.

14
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Some even suggest that Atlantis was really the antideleuvian world, the wicked society destroyed

15
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,880
by the wrath of God in the great flood of Noah.

16
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,280
In the twentieth century, Plato's account was further supported by Masonic philosopher,

17
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Manly Peahal. Hall claimed that Atlantis had once been a vast and mighty empire that

18
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,080
extended to the whole world, a philosophical commonwealth of nations that one day was destined

19
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:27,360
to be rebuilt. But who would rebuild it? And exactly who was Manly Peahal?

20
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Manly Peahal was probably the most highly esteemed occultist and free Mason of the 20th century.

21
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,680
But he understood the secrets of the ages long before he ever joined the Mason.

22
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Was really the foremost authority on the occultist side of Free Masonry, the deep dark side

23
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,360
of Free Masonry, the one that most Mason's never ascended.

24
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400
I can't really think of anybody close to him.

25
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Manly Peahal was one of the leading people within his whole other world.

26
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:11,080
Hall authored over 200 books and is said to have given some 8,000 lectures on ancient philosophy.

27
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:17,640
He is perhaps most remembered for his contribution to the mysterious brotherhood of Masonry.

28
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:24,480
Upon his death in 1990, the Scottish right journal, a Masonic publication, noted that he was often

29
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,640
called, quote, Masonry's greatest philosopher.

30
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Among his teachings was that contained in Masonry and all the secret orders was the ancient wisdom

31
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,440
of Lost Atlantis.

32
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Hall wrote that for more than 3,000 years secret societies had been labrived to create a background

33
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,080
of knowledge necessary to the establishment of an enlightened democracy among the nations

34
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,080
of the world.

35
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,280
According to Hall, these societies could be traced back to ancient Egypt and had for centuries

36
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:07,200
known of a secret place hidden from the eyes of common men, a place that would one day be revealed.

37
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,000
In the 17th century, as settlers were colonizing the new world, Sir Francis Bacon,

38
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:20,000
the leader of secret societies in England, set down his classic work, The New Atlantis.

39
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,400
While archaeologists and treasure hunters have searched the globe, looking for the lost

40
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,640
continent, 400 years ago, Bacon, like many of his contemporaries, believed that Atlantis

41
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,720
was America itself.

42
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,840
Well Bacon, to me, was really a fundamental in the American colonization scheme and its connection

43
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,640
to the new Atlantis concept.

44
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:54,760
He was trying to lay a foundation for what could be accomplished in the new world.

45
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,720
While the Atlantis of Plato was a mighty empire known for the philosophy of its kings, Bacon

46
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,480
would write a venation governed by scientific achievement filled with marbles and wonders

47
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,200
never before seen.

48
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,840
Bacon was talking about this new nation, talking about submarines, talking about unimaginable

49
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,200
weapons of war, talking about flying machines and tall buildings, and how to become into

50
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,840
possession of this knowledge.

51
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:27,080
The Francis Bacon outline the course of the new world before its time.

52
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,280
And if so, by what power was he inspired to do so?

53
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:37,440
While there are no states or cities that bear his name, his mysterious influence has

54
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,040
compelled some to call him the real and true founder of America.

55
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,040
His founding of America was really through other people who were following his work,

56
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,440
following the program he'd laid out.

57
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,840
Bacon was the head of Freemasonry and Rosa Cruz.

58
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,720
He had a huge influence through being the chief of the Rosa Cruzian fraternity at the

59
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,040
time, had huge influence on the birth of modern Freemasonry, and many of those Rosa Cruz

60
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,880
expressions actually went into Freemasonry that time to lift it up to its new level.

61
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,960
And Freemasonry has a major influence on the founding of America.

62
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,000
While many of the early settlers came to work the land for the cause of religious freedom,

63
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
there were with them secret societies who came to the new world with another agenda.

64
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Secret societies came to America shortly after the pilgrims arrived and they were said

65
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,240
to fire man names for Francis Bacon.

66
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,280
You get this very strange mixture of people.

67
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Many of whom understood even then the advantage spiritually and otherwise to having secret orders.

68
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,320
I wish you understand the influence of the occult societies on the development of America,

69
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,120
on the establishment of America, on the course of America, while you get completely lost

70
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,360
studying our history.

71
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,920
And they were the ones through which this work was being put into operation in England,

72
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,200
in Europe, and eventually in America and the world.

73
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,000
So that America then could be used to lead the world into the philosophic empire.

74
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,880
You understand that America was founded by Christians as a Christian nation.

75
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680
However, there were always those people on the other side.

76
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,880
But what did the use of America?

77
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Use our military power and our financial power to establish enlightened democracies throughout

78
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,400
the world and restore lost Atlantis.

79
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Yeah, maybe Bacon had it right.

80
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Maybe Atlantis is not something yet to occur, but maybe it's occurring right now in America.

81
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,040
In his lifetime, Sufrancis Bacon referred to himself as the Harold of a new age.

82
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,880
He promoted a new universal order for the whole world.

83
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Can this be what early American founders referred to with the words Novus Ordo Seclurum,

84
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,600
the new order of the ages?

85
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,960
And does this vision affect America today?

86
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:13,600
When our founders declared a new order of the ages, they were acting on an ancient hope

87
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:24,000
that is meant to be fulfilled.

88
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,600
As America marches forward, spreading democracy throughout the globe, is she merely promoting

89
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,960
freedom, or fulfilling an ancient plan?

90
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Is she following a course planned for centuries by men who believe she is chosen for a secret

91
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:47,600
destiny?

92
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:54,320
To understand the present and possibly the future, we look into the past as we unfold the secret

93
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,080
mysteries of America's beginnings.

94
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:25,040
China, America be the new Atlantis.

95
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:34,880
The movie National Treasure revealed to many the role of free maisons in the founding

96
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,320
of America.

97
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Often seen as a shadowy organization with hidden agendas, maisons were portrayed in a

98
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,040
positive light.

99
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Was this coincidence or could there have been something behind it?

100
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,840
I think there's probably a little something behind it.

101
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,600
The free maisons among our founding fathers left us clues.

102
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:03,880
I think the unfinished pyramid, you know, seeing I, they're speaking to us through the

103
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,880
ages.

104
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Well, the movie National Treasure is probably the first film in many years that has

105
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,880
given a positive spin to the Masonic lodge.

106
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:20,280
And essentially, it seems to have been at least partially designed as kind of a propaganda

107
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,680
piece for them.

108
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,600
They were basically trying to say that these people who have hidden the secret knowledge

109
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,560
of whatever was the gold, stash or whatever are the maisons are basically good guys.

110
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,000
Because it makes them appear to be the sort of the nine shadowy groups that's in the

111
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,960
background protecting these important ancient secrets and also protecting this great

112
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,280
massive treasure.

113
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,880
It was fairly accurate in its Masonic elements.

114
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,680
You can tell whoever made the film either, either was a Mason and of course there's

115
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,640
a lot of maisons in Hollywood or else had done a lot of research.

116
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Screenwriter Jim Kauf, who developed the storyline for Disney Pictures claims no Masonic

117
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,400
connection yet some researchers are not convinced.

118
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,920
Maisons were involved in the writing of that.

119
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,640
It seems to me because then they tried to turn it around and say that the free maisonary

120
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,800
is a good thing that it has these hidden secrets deep within it and that someday it will

121
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,440
be revealed and bring good things to America etc.

122
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,560
Yet did the filmmakers accurately portray the real secrets of Masonary?

123
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:35,080
The thing I think that's unfortunate about the movie is other than to glamorize the

124
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:42,800
maisons is that it makes it sound like the treasure of Masonary is monetary that it's

125
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:49,520
enormous cache of wealth and gold and jewels and earn and statues and whatever and really

126
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,320
that's not what the treasure of Masonary is.

127
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,600
The treasure of Masonary is esoteric wisdom.

128
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:05,120
It is what Mason's believe it is the secret of eternal life in immortality and that's an entirely

129
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,960
different thing.

130
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,640
Conspiracy theorists have suggested that the film was intended to mislead but the question

131
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,320
remains if Mason's were involved in the making of the film what would motivate them to tell

132
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,360
a story about a society sworn to secrecy.

133
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,720
I think Mason's have been pretty desperate over the last couple decades.

134
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120
They've taken a lot of hits.

135
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:42,320
Do at least part to my books and their membership is declining fast and love secrets and that's

136
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:50,000
just a basic true and so if they advertise that through a popular movie, maybe it would

137
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,600
generate a little more interest.

138
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,080
I'm one level, the film I think it does some good and it does educate people about the origins

139
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,680
of our country and the fact that the origins of our country was very much steeped in Masonary

140
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:09,360
but on the other hand I think it misleads about the benign nature of Masonary's involvement

141
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,640
and also it misleads by defining the nature of what Masonary has been guarding for the last

142
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,600
3000 years.

143
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,880
But what has Masonary been guarding for the last 3000 years?

144
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,840
The real history of the craft as it is called varies from one source to another and is a continued

145
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:41,440
thorn of controversy. Mason's claim biblical origins dating back to Tubal King, the first craftsman

146
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,800
as well as Nimrod who built the tower of Babel and founded the ancient city of Babelon.

147
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,120
King Solomon played as an important role as Mason's are said to have been the builders of the

148
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,800
great temple in Jerusalem.

149
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,320
No less important is the influence of noccesism, sometimes called the mother of Masonary.

150
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,080
According to Masonic historian Albert Mackie,

151
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Nosticism is where Mason regates the mysterious letter G,

152
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,840
as seen here in the midst of the Masonic Square and Compass,

153
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880
a symbol that often adorns Masonic tombstones.

154
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,840
Known for rejecting the biblical gospels, the Nostics claim to be the real Christians,

155
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,840
an issue the apostles spoke vehemitely against in the New Testament.

156
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:40,960
The Nostic gospels have been promoted by writers like Elaine Pagels and Celebrities such as Jane Fonda.

157
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:48,080
It was the Nostic teachings that formed the heart of Dan Brown's blockbuster book, The Da Vinci Co.

158
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,720
The Nostics were known to express a humanistic view of Christ,

159
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,320
a view they are said to have exploited for the purpose of justifying their debauchery of women.

160
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,920
Hence the tales of Jesus and his alleged relationship with Mary Magdalene,

161
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:19,360
a view often attributed to the Nostics and repeated in Brown's Controversial Book.

162
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:40,160
But Masonry's most popular debates, especially with films like National Treasure,

163
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:46,080
and books such as The Da Vinci Code, Born in Blood and Holy Blood, Holy Grail,

164
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,760
seem to involve the mysterious Knights Templar, whose connection to free Masonry

165
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,720
is often seen at the Roslan Chapel in Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh.

166
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:05,200
A place that not only reveals much about the Templars and Masonry, but within may be secrets to the

167
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:15,520
founding of the New World. But whatever the connection or controversy, most Mason's trace their craft

168
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:23,360
back to the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Egypt is like pretty much the approximate fountainhead

169
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,560
of all esoteric mystery teaching. After the example of the Egyptian craftsmen,

170
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,960
the Mason's carved their own imagery in the great structures of Europe. Secret signs and symbols

171
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,400
were embedded into their work, the meaning of which was to be hidden from outsiders.

172
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,800
These were the craft maisons who actually built the temples. If you look at European architecture,

173
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,000
you know those all those big cathedrals in Europe, Colau and Cathedral in Germany,

174
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,240
not to down in Paris, Salzburg Cathedral in England and all those beautiful cathedrals

175
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:07,040
were all built around the 1200s and 1300s. And it was these maisons who knew their business,

176
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:13,040
and they wanted to keep their skills secret. All the great cathedrals of Europe were built by

177
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:19,440
stone maisons who had an understanding of esoteric lore and they're basically riddles in stone.

178
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,440
When maisons came to America, they practiced their trade in the same way they had in Europe,

179
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,200
embedding secret codes within the design and foundation of the American colonies.

180
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Some believe this may account for the geographic location of the five great revolutionary

181
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,760
wars cities. In particular Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington DC

182
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,920
have all been built in perfect alignment along the eastern seaboard.

183
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,600
Researcher Jim Allison believes this alignment may be a part of something greater.

184
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:10,880
Let me say this, I think it is very unlikely that the alignment is coincidental.

185
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,400
According to Allison, the alignment of cities and ancient sites are part of a series of great

186
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:24,320
circles that encompass the earth. These circles are supposedly like lines of power upon which

187
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:31,200
significant sites are built. The simplest example, the most obvious example of a great circle,

188
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,560
though, is the equator because it runs around the center of the earth. It runs due east-west.

189
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,960
Meridians of longitude which run due north-south through the north-south poles,

190
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,000
if you extend it all the way around, those are also great circles because they run through the

191
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,920
center of the earth. Allison claims that mystical sites like the pyramids, Easter Island,

192
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,240
the Mayan and Aztec cities are all built upon these great circles.

193
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:07,120
In addition, one of these great circles contains the five cities that date back to the era

194
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:15,200
of the American Revolutionary War. Washington DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York City,

195
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:22,640
and Boston are in fact aligned. They're fairly close together, the distance from Washington

196
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:30,240
DC to Boston is 400 miles. As a result of that, you can see the alignment on a flat map.

197
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,160
Because the curvature of the earth is not so much over that distance to distort it. But on a

198
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:46,400
three-dimensional map, it's even clearer. But is this just a curious coincidence

199
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:56,240
or could there be some hidden meaning behind it? In the 1920s, an Englishman named Alfred

200
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,640
Watkins noted a series of straight tracks or lines upon the earth's surface that seemed to connect

201
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:10,240
the ancient monuments and holy sites around the world. What he found was that in a number of cases,

202
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:17,200
a number of these monuments were aligned in just in dead straight lines that extended

203
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:25,280
from a few miles to in some cases, many miles. He coined the term lay lines to describe and to

204
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:36,320
explain these alignments. Watkins believed that there are some type of grid lines that run through the

205
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:44,640
earth, the lines of energy, magnetism, or electromagnetism, or some other kind of attraction over the earth.

206
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:54,320
And that's what he described as lay lines. Watkins believed that the builders of these sites

207
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:02,480
were aware of these lines that ran through the earth and that they intentionally built these monuments

208
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,360
on these lines. While Watkins findings were not openly received by all,

209
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:14,240
his views have been most often embraced by members of the esoteric community.

210
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:24,080
The main cult is concept of lay lines, L.E.Y., which are lines of force that somebody will

211
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:30,720
say are like the acupuncture points of the earth. And you always want to build things on a

212
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,280
lay line, all of the great cathedrals of Europe or Billapani's lay lines which are like currents and

213
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:43,120
power. These currents of power are thought to have magical significance. Some believe they act as

214
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,120
portals for spirits to travel to and from the ancient monuments that fall within these alignments.

215
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:57,200
But the question remains, where such power lines important to the builders of early American cities

216
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:05,840
where they aligned with a secret purpose in mind. That's very important where the

217
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,440
pyramid of Kufu was built, the great pyramid, and it's very important where stone angels built.

218
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:20,560
There are several great circles that ancient monuments are aligned with. And in some cases,

219
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,960
ancient and modern development is aligned with. Extending the alignment from Boston to the north

220
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:34,080
east towards Europe, the alignment crosses over the Atlantic and crosses into England and crosses over

221
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Stonehenge, which of course is one of the more significant monuments certainly in England and

222
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:48,560
arguably anywhere. Can it be coincidental that the early colonists built these five cities

223
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,840
in perfect alignment with each other and in perfect alignment with Stonehenge?

224
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,760
Allison admits that many of the ancient monuments are aligned on lay lines or great circles

225
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,920
within a fraction of one degree, a distance that sometimes equals 15 or 20 miles.

226
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,400
But in the link between the old world and the new, there is a zero deviation between the

227
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:20,880
five American cities and England's mysterious Stonehenge. According to Allison, they are perfectly

228
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,200
aligned.

229
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:37,520
Can such a perfect alignment be unintentional or the result of some natural attraction of lay lines in the earth?

230
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,080
There's some dispute about the Adamungs people who studied these lay lines as to whether

231
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,360
the builders were aware of an attraction and they built it for that region or whether there was

232
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:57,200
possibly an attraction that they were unaware of, but nonetheless caused them to build these sites

233
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,280
in alignment. But the simple fact is they are aligned.

234
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,560
But the evidence continues, America's capital city, Washington, D.C. is said to be positioned

235
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:15,840
on the 77th Meridian West, considered a sacred location referred to as God's longitude.

236
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:24,080
In his book, Marking Time, author Duncan Steal argues that the early expedition of Sir Walter

237
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:30,000
Raleigh, known for the lost colony at Rowanoke, was not quite the failure it seemed to be.

238
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,800
Raleigh's intent, according to Steal, was not really to establish a colony, but rather to

239
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,040
capture God's longitude by locating the 77th Meridian.

240
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:48,800
The goal of the occultist who understands these concepts is to have things exist within

241
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:55,920
the sacred harmonies of the earth. And if indeed they believed that the 77th Meridian

242
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,800
was somehow very sacred, then it would be incredibly important for them to plant their flag there.

243
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:12,000
In Washington, D.C. is even found Meridian Hill said to mark the precise location of the

244
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,120
sacred longitude. Raleigh himself was a member of Bacon's Secret Society in England.

245
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:27,200
Was he sent on a mystical journey so that America might be designed according to esoteric principles

246
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,840
from the beginning? And how many others came ashore as a result of the Baconeyan influence?

247
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,040
The Rose of Crucians came ashore very early on in the founding of the new world.

248
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:48,720
The Masons were also there from the beginning. And I think from very early on, this this

249
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:57,280
if you will cartel, this occult cartel of various groups, basically had it as their goal

250
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:05,840
to establish a society on this continent that was wholly given over to esoteric goals.

251
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:19,520
The Rose of Crucian Order, with its modern headquarters in San Jose, California,

252
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:26,320
has for centuries been linked to free masonry. Well, you have to understand that free masonry is simply

253
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,760
the modern-day manifestation of the ancient mystery religions. The ideas of masonry were

254
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,800
have been around literally for thousands of years. And of course Rose of Crucianism,

255
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:44,080
I was simply a four-runner of modern-day masonry. The order takes its name from its primary symbol,

256
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:51,280
the Rose and Cross. Like masonry, the Rose of Crucians traced their religion to the mysteries of

257
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:57,760
ancient Egypt. Their power base in San Jose centers around an Egyptian museum.

258
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:06,800
Their chapters of the Rose of Crucian studying every place across the American,

259
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,760
one only has to go on the internet and you can actually have websites where they be put people

260
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:18,320
into the Rose of Crucian Order. People have no idea that these people are even here.

261
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,080
Perhaps the reason for their lack of exposure is that they are dwarfed by the chief of all

262
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:31,920
secret societies, the ancient order of free masonry. Nevertheless, the Rose of Crucians are said to be

263
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,160
the first of the secret orders to have opened a door in the new world.

264
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,720
The very first that we know of, a cult beech head in America, was Rose of Crucian.

265
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,560
I just was often speaking to her recently and I had the opportunity to visit. The effort to

266
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,880
coester its call an effort to Pennsylvania and it's where the original Rose of Crucian community

267
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:05,280
built its headquarters right on the East Coast and the United States and that was in the

268
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,520
1600s. And right about the same time the Christianity was establishing its beech head in America.

269
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:19,200
So was the Rose of Crucian Order. In the 16th century, Sir Francis Bacon had become the chief

270
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,960
of the Rose of Crucians in England. Researchers believe that Bacon sent members of the society

271
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:33,760
to America to launch his esoteric empire, the new Atlantis. This 1910 Newfoundland Stamp

272
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:41,120
commemorates Bacon's early influence. It reads Lord Bacon, the guiding spirit in the colonization scheme.

273
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:50,880
I know that Rose of Crucianism today holds Bacon in highest esteem as an active

274
00:29:52,080 --> 00:30:00,240
transmitter of the secrets. If you go to the AMORC, the ancient mystical order of the Rose

275
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:08,800
and the cross, the Rose of Crucian Order Center in San Jose Bacon is everywhere. He's a demigod

276
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:17,920
in in in Ross of Crucianism. But Bacon's influence was not confined to Rose of Crucianism.

277
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:23,600
He is considered by some to have been the first to formalize the mystery teachings into a

278
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:30,000
system now recognized as modern masonry. So free masonry up to that point and being very,

279
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,240
very much involved with just the craft of building buildings. It's been a guild in this country

280
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:42,960
and each country had their own type of masonry or free masonry. There was no sense for being a

281
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:50,560
world-wide fraternity where religious belief or race did not matter. For that it'd be very

282
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:57,280
racial and very religious but Bacon turned it into a truly international society.

283
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:05,200
This international society would also come to the new world. And while Bacon's

284
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:11,360
rose accrucians would maintain a position of careful anonymity, the order of masonry

285
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,280
would stretch its hands in America to the very heights of power.

286
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:23,280
Noware is the Masonic Presence more clearly seen than in the design of America's capital city,

287
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:38,320
Washington, DC. Yes Washington, DC is completely based on masonic architecture.

288
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:45,840
The whole architecture is laid out in an occult matter with masonic symbology every major building

289
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:52,640
in Washington, DC as a masonic plaque. I mean the masones that permeated and the other secret societies

290
00:31:53,120 --> 00:32:02,240
are very big in his book, the secret architecture of our nation's capital. Author, David Ovisan

291
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:08,800
confirms the esoteric influence of masonry in the design and building of Washington, DC.

292
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:16,000
Ovisan reveals the occult ceremonies surrounding the laying of the city's cornerstone,

293
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,080
a ritual that involved the father of the nation, George Washington.

294
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:30,240
200 years later, in a ceremony commemorating this event, Senator Strom Thurmond himself,

295
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:37,600
a 33rd degree mason, is pictured alongside the cornerstone upon which is carved a masonic square

296
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,600
and compass. If you either look at the mavovashing, DC or try and drive in

297
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:49,200
Washington, DC, you think it must have been designed by a nutcase, but actually it was designed

298
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:55,440
by a free mason, a French free mason named Leyen Font. I think Pierre Charles Leyen Font was his name

299
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:03,760
and its full of esoteric symbolism. Ovisan writes that like the pyramids of Egypt,

300
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:10,880
the entire city was built in alignment with the stars and suggests that the hidden purpose for the

301
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:16,720
masonic rituals is that America might be empowered by the gods of the ancient world.

302
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Can this be the reason for the pagan god and goddess images that have come to represent America?

303
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Tradition often claims that America was founded as a Christian nation only.

304
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:42,560
But if this is the case, why are it symbols? Those of the pagan religions,

305
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,600
rather than images of Christ, the apostles, and stories from the Bible?

306
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,800
Well, I think that this is where the great confusion comes in. America was founded as a Christian nation,

307
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:03,360
but it was also founded as an cult nation. And there have always been two parallel forces here in America.

308
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,560
One the Christian, one the occult dating back into the 1600s. And in two, you've

309
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,000
understand that you can't understand anything going on in the world today.

310
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:20,160
The conflict between Christianity and the occult has compelled some to reject entirely the

311
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:28,720
influence of God in early America. In February of 2005, CBS News dot com posted an article

312
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,640
titled Our Godless Constitution. In it, author Brooke Allen wrote that

313
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,840
our nation was not founded on Christian principles, but on Enlightenment ones.

314
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:46,320
God only entered the picture as a very minor player, and Jesus Christ was conspicuously absent.

315
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:54,800
A chief issue of debate are the very symbols that define the United States. Where did they come from,

316
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,600
and why do or who exactly do they represent?

317
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,560
From many, the answers lie in the secret societies.

318
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,960
I mean, you can see their influence on the back of the great sea of the United States. We're in 1782.

319
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:22,240
They put on a pyramid, camp by an all-singime, with the slogan beneath Novusitorus,

320
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:28,160
at the New Second Order of the World. That was in 1782. It was put on the back of the great

321
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:34,400
sea of the United States hidden there until about 1935. When it was taken off, the back of the

322
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,440
great sea of the United States and put on the back of the American dollar bill. Where it is today

323
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,320
symbolizing the influence of the secrets of societies on the American. And you know there are some

324
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,120
of our Christian ministries that want to tell you that occult symbol is a Christian symbol.

325
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,560
It just goes to show how effectively the Christians have been misled and they've been misled

326
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,360
intensely by people who have infiltrated the Christian movement. And if told them, oh, this is a

327
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,040
Christian symbol. Well, where in Christian symbology, idea come up with a pyramid.

328
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,880
Where in Christian symbology, you come up with a glorified island. This is all this

329
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,600
symbolity that everybody was involved with your cult understand. The glorified or all-seeing

330
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,880
eye is known as the Eye of Horace, one of the most important gods of the Egyptian

331
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,520
mysteries. Other pagan icons include the Washington Monument, an obelisk, normally dedicated

332
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:35,680
to the Egyptian sun god. Meanwhile, the idea for the statue of liberty was taken from the

333
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,240
Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and combined with the imagery

334
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:51,920
of the goddess of ancient Babylon, Queen Samaramos. But what did these esoteric elements tell us

335
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:58,480
about the founding fathers of America? Who were they? And what was the light by which they saw the

336
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:04,080
world and themselves in it? Majority of the people who were in the founding fathers,

337
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:09,920
rather deists, or else they were free thinkers, or they were rose accrucians, or they were

338
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,600
masones, or they were all of the above. But the issue is not black and white. Researchers are

339
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:21,680
careful to point out the godfaring nature of early Americans. If we take the founding of

340
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,200
America as the time when the Puritans came over, if that's the time that was taken and the landing

341
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,640
of the pilgrims you remember, and that was taken as the founding of America. There was no

342
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,760
question. These are solid Christians. Out and they were looking for freedom. They did not want to

343
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:44,960
be persecuted by either the church in England, which was the Anglican church. So the Puritans

344
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,880
would have been persecuted as dissenters. Nevertheless, so if we take that date, that era, when

345
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:57,120
the Puritans came over, they were coming over seeking freedom, religious freedom. And so they wanted

346
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:03,440
to settle the land and build the little churches and worship the Lord as he told us to do

347
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,200
and the in the manner in which he told us to do in the Scriptures. That's what they wanted to do.

348
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:13,840
So without question, it was settled in the beginning as a Christian nation, an opportunity to come

349
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:20,000
over freely. Unfortunately, you got other people who wanted to do the same thing, but they weren't

350
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:30,880
necessarily Christians. By far, the Chief Source of Contention is the involvement of the

351
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:40,160
founding fathers with secret societies, namely, Free Masonry. Certainly, at the time, when the

352
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:46,240
Declaration of Independence was signed, many of these people were involved in Masonry, no question

353
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,280
or talk about it, but it wasn't because they were dedicated to the, to the esoteric principles

354
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:56,880
of Masonry. Many of these people were strong Christians. In America, initially, the men that were

355
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:03,680
elected, I believe, 90% of them all gone fearing men. People, you know, on the esoteric

356
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:09,280
societies, what to say, of this was a Masonic country. And there's an element of truth in that,

357
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:16,080
because certainly there were many Masons, you know, once America was established, who were working

358
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,800
in key positions. I believe the truth is somewhere in between, as it usually is,

359
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:27,360
the two extremes. It's a timeless struggle. Both sides of this power struggle are in full play.

360
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:34,720
The sides of the secret societies, trying to push forth the new Atlantis. And so it doesn't

361
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:40,320
surprise me that most of these men in the continental Congress are the signings of the Declaration

362
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,120
of Independence were Masons or whatever. That doesn't surprise me, it doesn't even bother me.

363
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:51,920
Because I know that underneath them is a vast horde of people at war, biblical Christians.

364
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,840
Masonry's history with America is filled with both mystery and controversy.

365
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:07,520
Because of its secrecy and because its members are bound by terrible blood oads,

366
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,640
Masons are reluctant to come forward with testimony.

367
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,160
It's a secret society. It's always been a secret society. And to reveal anything about

368
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,760
these secret societies in church, your depth and people have tried to expose Masonry even to this

369
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:27,760
very day, vester lives and doing it. Yet from the shadows, some light appears.

370
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:36,160
When you actually go into basement in the first three degrees, why you promise that if you are

371
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:42,880
ever reveal any of the secrets of Masonry in the first degree, why you have your tongue cut out and

372
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:48,240
you'll have your, you'll be buried in the sands of the sea up to the level of your neck at the level

373
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:53,920
of low tide. And at the second degree, I believe they cut out your heart. And the third degree

374
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,160
they're going to cut out your antelopes and throw in the...

375
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:07,360
In the 19th century, a man named Captain William Morgan was murdered by a group of Mason's

376
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,440
who were bound by such blood oads.

377
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Captain William Morgan was a guy up in Bathie in New York in 1826.

378
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,400
He was the first American to publish the first three degrees of

379
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:28,000
Fremasonry of the Blue Lodge. The things you had to say, the oads you had to take.

380
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:35,520
And Mason's didn't like that very much. Captain Morgan had violated his oath by writing a book to

381
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,760
let people know about the terrible oaths of this terrible society.

382
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:47,040
Feeling a responsibility to the Masonic Brotherhood, remembers of the order, kidnapped Morgan,

383
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,160
to make him pay for exposing the secrets of Masonry.

384
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:06,720
He was captured by a group of Mason's and taken a killed.

385
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:13,680
And later on, the perpetrators made deathbed confessions of it all, so it was all very well known.

386
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Of these deathbed confessions, at least one has survived.

387
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:26,080
Given by a man named Henry L. Valence, whose insight into Morgan's final moments,

388
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,000
provides a heart-wrenching account.

389
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,400
While Valence was never brought to justice for the crime,

390
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,600
this final confession revealed a conscience haunted by a lifetime of guilt.

391
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,200
If the mark of cane was upon me, the curse of the first murderer was.

392
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,200
The blood stain was upon my hand, and could not be washed out.

393
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,120
Valence revealed how a council of eight maisons had condemned William Morgan to death.

394
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,040
And how Morgan had pleaded for his life on behalf of his wife and children.

395
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,440
He commenced ringing his hands and talking of his wife and children,

396
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,800
the recollections of whom in that awful hour terribly affected him.

397
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:30,320
His wife, he had said, was young and experienced, and his children were but infants.

398
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,040
We did not have mercy on you.

399
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:52,800
Despite Morgan's plea for mercy, Valence and his fellow maisons were determined to carry out their grim task.

400
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,880
They gave Morgan time alone to prepare himself to die.

401
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,400
How Morgan passed that time said Valence, he could not tell.

402
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,240
For everything was quiet as a tomb within.

403
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:20,560
When they returned, they bound his hands and let him away to the awful feet they had prepared for him.

404
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:30,720
Story was he was actually drowned after being mistreated horribly for a period of time.

405
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:37,040
Well, when the word of this got out, and people began to realize this dangerous influence of maisering

406
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,360
with an isolated society, what did the membership of the organization fell off dramatically?

407
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,080
As one investigator put it as one rider put it.

408
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:51,200
Free masonry, which was rampant throughout the country at that time, almost dried up overnight.

409
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:58,560
The public outrage over Morgan's death was profound, but when those who had murdered him were sought out,

410
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,920
the people of the United States discovered that justice was not so easy to obtain.

411
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,520
The reason was given by the Reverend Charles Finney, in his book,

412
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:16,160
the character claims and practical workings of Free masonry, first published in 1869.

413
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,400
Finney was a former maison who lived through the Morgan affair.

414
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:28,960
He claimed that justice in the case was impossible because nearly all the civil offices in the

415
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:35,760
country were in the hands of free masonry. According to Finney, even the newspapers of the day

416
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:42,560
were completely under their control. Finney writes that it was found that they could do nothing

417
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:48,480
with the courts, with the sheriffs, with the eyewitnesses, or with the jurors, and all their efforts

418
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,200
were for a time entirely impotent.

419
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,200
So this turned into a big bruhahah as a big Masonic scandal because it was all known.

420
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:04,320
The Morgan incident became an issue of national importance, not simply because a man was murdered,

421
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:10,640
but more importantly, Americans began to realize that their supposedly democratic country

422
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,920
was being secretly controlled by the Masonic Brotherhood.

423
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:22,480
And this led even to separate political parties, being anti-Masonic political parties, being

424
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,560
formed, and they were even called the anti-Masonic party, their encanded its represence,

425
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,160
and they were significant parties, they weren't just minority parties, so it was a really big deal.

426
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,760
The anti-Masonic party was the first third party in American politics, and eventually became the

427
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,600
wig party, which is more widely recognized. The party itself was led by former president,

428
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,960
John Quincy Adams, who wrote a collection of letters and essays against Free masonry.

429
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,520
How can you have a free society when you have people who belong to these secret societies

430
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:59,200
and have sworn these terrible blooddos? You can't have a free society, and that's what John Quincy

431
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:06,720
Adams was writing about. Adams wrote, I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the order

432
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:12,800
of Free masonry, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest moral and political evils.

433
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:21,120
As a result of the Morgan incident, a series of official investigations took place.

434
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:28,960
In 1829, a New York State Senate committee published its findings on masonry, stating that its

435
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:34,480
members were found in almost every place where power is of any importance.

436
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:42,720
Five years later, in 1834, a joint committee in Massachusetts reported that masonry was

437
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:49,520
quote a distinct independent government within our own government and beyond the control of the laws

438
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,360
of the land by means of its secrecy.

439
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:03,920
Well, includes masonry. His always been here since those days, and of course within 15 or 20 years

440
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:11,760
by the membership of masonry, it constituted itself. It said they got down to only about 5,000

441
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:18,160
members there when masonry was really exposed. But people soon forgot about the the terrible things

442
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,880
that had happened. And the fact that if you were masonry, they really would kill you.

443
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,440
Most people look upon masonry as simply a or fraternity and these olds have no meaning.

444
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,360
But tragically they do.

445
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:35,840
A monument was erected in Batavia, New York, and remains to this day.

446
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,440
In remembrance of what happened to William Morgan.

447
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,280
The inscription on its base reads,

448
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:50,960
to the memory of William Morgan, a native of Virginia, a captain in the war of 1812,

449
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:57,600
a respectable citizen of Batavia, and a martyr to the freedom of writing, printing, and speaking

450
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:05,680
the truth. He was abducted from near this spot in the year 1826 by free masonry and murdered

451
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,240
for revealing the secrets of their order.

452
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:17,040
The monument goes on to tell the reader where they can find the historical records that document the

453
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:17,840
Morgan account.

454
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:26,400
Why would the citizens of Batavia have gone to this length?

455
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,880
Crimes are committed every day, and people sometimes murdered.

456
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,760
Why draw attention to William Morgan?

457
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,200
Did they desire to warn future generations?

458
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,120
Was it because the people of that time recognized as Charles Finney asserts in his book

459
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,520
that America was being controlled by masons from behind the scenes?

460
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:56,240
But for what cause? For greed, power, or is the answer most likely found in the Great

461
00:49:56,240 --> 00:50:03,200
Atlantean Plan? In order to bring forth the destiny of America and lead mankind into the vision of

462
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:08,720
Plato and Sufrancis Bacon, the secret societies would have to control the new world,

463
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,760
and in time subdue the old.

464
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:29,440
But how to bring about this utopian empire? In his writings,

465
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:34,720
Sulfrancis Bacon called for a universal reformation of the whole wide world.

466
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:41,200
To bring about this reform, some believe the secret societies launched a world revolution.

467
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:47,520
People do not understand that our revolution was the first in the series of revolutions

468
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:56,080
of the began in 1776, and extended right up until the Cuban revolution in 1959,

469
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,920
when Fidel Castro came to power. This is a series of revolutions to transform the world.

470
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:07,840
While most Americans did not fight the war of independence for the cause of global revolution,

471
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,800
it is undeniable that secret societies played an important role

472
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,840
and that many of America's founders were free masons.

473
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:23,440
Many were masons, but they were intramacenary because of Christ's was the only way that they could protect themselves.

474
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,400
It's the only way that they could keep them being pound out, so they were plotting a revolution.

475
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,440
They had to have a means of maintaining their secrecy.

476
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:39,760
I think masonry was in fact used as a built-in network, a secret network, in which to

477
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,440
foment the American Revolution. They didn't have to put a network together. It was already there.

478
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:50,640
All I had to do was because it was sort of right on the back of free masonry

479
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:57,520
to make the American Revolution work. And work it did with the help of Masonic ingenuity,

480
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,880
beginning with the kickoff event, the Boston Tea Party.

481
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,880
And what was the Boston Tea Party? Who was behind that?

482
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:18,160
Who were the raiders of the English T-Shep admittedly at this point?

483
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,960
It was the Masonic lodge in Boston. They were all masons.

484
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:25,040
It was a mason's wanting to implement this revolution.

485
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,080
The leader of the men who dressed up like Indians and through the tea in

486
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:37,680
to Boston Harbor was the legendary Paul Revere, whose famous ride would alert Americans that the British were coming.

487
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,840
Picture here with a tea pot commemorating his rebellion, Paul Revere was a prominent member of the Masonic Order.

488
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:52,480
George Washington known as the father of our country, along with many of his generals,

489
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:58,240
were also masons. Yet Washington's involvement with masonry is hardly debated.

490
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:05,120
Our information is that he did not do anything with the Masonic lodge for the last 30 years of his life.

491
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:12,480
The debate centers around the letter written by George Washington to the Reverend GW Schneider on September

492
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:20,560
25th, 1798, just 15 months before Washington's death. In the letter, Washington says specifically,

493
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:26,640
I must correct an error you have run into of my presiding over the English lodges in this country.

494
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:33,600
The fact is, I preside over none. Nor have I been in one more than once or twice within the last 30 years.

495
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,880
And in Washington's case, I'd defend him by saying, the masons are very secretive.

496
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:47,840
When they approach a man to be a member of their organization, they will not cannot tell him what it's all about.

497
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:53,520
But what they can do is to say, well, you see, there were all these famous people. They were

498
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:58,480
pre-masons and they can name off the kings and today, of course, they can name off Washington.

499
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:05,920
And so the candidate will then argue to himself, well, who am I? I'm just a little guy, you know, or I might be a senator,

500
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,800
but nevertheless, who am I? Compare with these. If it was good enough for them, surely it's good enough for me.

501
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,680
If it's secret, it's going to be a good thing. So they get in and they're not told to hold story.

502
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,400
They're not told in the first second, or even third degree. They're not told the whole story,

503
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:26,320
but little by little as they acquire more knowledge and as they are deemed to be

504
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:33,360
faithful to the cause, they are told more. And that's just how they get the people in.

505
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:43,760
It is only fair to mention that many masons continue to insist that Washington was very active in the craft.

506
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:52,320
Yet there is no debate about the Masonic membership of Benjamin Franklin, who is deeply

507
00:54:52,320 --> 00:55:00,240
involved not only with masonry, but a whole variety of secret societies in America, in England and in France.

508
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:06,400
Societies that had everything to do with his success during the American Revolutionary War.

509
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:14,160
Benjamin Franklin is a very paradoxical complex fellow. It might be expected for someone who was such a great

510
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:21,600
genius, but at times he seems like he's a Christian. At times he seems like he's a scoundrel.

511
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,480
At times it seems like he's a loose affair in and at times it seems like he's a rose accruation.

512
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:33,520
He was a strange character, Benjamin Franklin, a sort of a shuttle diplomat between Philadelphia

513
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:41,040
and Paris and London England. He was of course ambassador in Europe. And when he was over in Europe,

514
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:47,360
he became member of a group called the Hellfire Club, which was a kind of pseudo-satanic

515
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:54,560
organization in 17th century, in the South, found her by an English noble in the French's dashboard.

516
00:55:54,560 --> 00:56:01,840
And it basically existed as a place where men and together have orgies, worship the devil,

517
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,320
and basically get loaded and do whatever they wanted.

518
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:18,320
Under the guise of being a satanic society, the Hellfire Club was a part of the so-called

519
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:25,600
gentleman's clubs of 17th and 18th century England. While the debauched behavior of these groups was

520
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:32,320
initially tolerated, once they began to dabble in satanic rituals, they were forced to go underground,

521
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:40,000
literally. Hellfire Club is a very fact I used to live quite near that place. It's on the

522
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:46,000
west side of London, and the place called West Wickham. It's a hall. It's a chalk hill, now of course

523
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,680
covered in grass, and on the top of that chalk hill is a church. On the top of the church is a golden

524
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:58,480
ball, there's a cross on top of that. Now that's a Christian church, but inside the hill is a cave,

525
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:04,480
often those chalk hills they do have caves inside them. It's the way they're formed. And in the

526
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,720
cave there they would gather together. Now I don't know to say that it was the church,

527
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:13,200
the occupants of the church that gathered there, but whether they knew it or not the Hellfire

528
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:19,040
Club would hold their meetings once a month underneath the church, and Benjamin Franklin would go

529
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:25,200
and visit that at the times when he came to visit England. Yeah. It was very much apparently into

530
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:35,760
some of the ideas of the esoteric movement of his day. A book on witchcraft magic and the supernatural

531
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:41,680
claims that Benjamin Franklin often came to Sir Francis Dashwood for information on the occult.

532
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,960
Dashwood himself was said to be a rose accruation and leading member of the secret orders.

533
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:56,880
In this portrait we see a young Francis Dashwood with his hand posed in a fist-like position.

534
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:04,000
In Masonry this hand signal is known as the Lion's paw and is used in Masonic ritual.

535
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:10,080
Among Satanists however, the same gesture is said to be called the Devil's claw.

536
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:18,560
While it cannot be said how deeply involved Franklin was with the occult, the Hellfire focus

537
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:23,280
on drinking and debauching women would certainly have agreed with his character.

538
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:30,960
He was very famous for being a ladies man. He was very much a playboy, which of course would

539
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:38,320
be contrary to being a devolved Christian. The Hellfire Club had great disdain for Christianity.

540
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:44,000
In fact they did not call themselves Hellfire, but rather the monks of Medmanham Abbey.

541
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:51,760
Such parody was the influence of a French priest named Francois Rabile. Condemned as a heretic

542
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:59,200
for writing a series of perverse comedies called Gargantua and Pantergrouel. In them, Rabile

543
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:05,680
mocked religion, glorified immorality and defended man's right to pursue without restraint

544
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:12,480
the desires of his own will. Adopting his philosophy, the Hellfire motto was,

545
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:20,080
do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Could this have been what attracted Franklin

546
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:25,680
to the group, an opportunity to escape the puritanical tendencies of America?

547
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:32,640
While in England, two pursued lusty desires that would have been openly condemned by his fellow

548
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:41,040
countrymen, at least at that time. But more than a century later, the Hellfire motto would be

549
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:47,200
adopted by British occultist Alester Crowley, who was often called the wickedest man in the world.

550
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:54,560
Like Francis Dashwood and the Hellfire members, Crowley took part in satanic rituals,

551
00:59:54,560 --> 01:00:00:02,240
most famously at his Abbey Thelema in Sicily, a named taken from Francois Rabile's anti-Christian

552
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:09,760
parodies. Crowley's hatred for Christianity was so intense he often referred to himself as the beast of

553
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:15,840
the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. He was a free Mason and a rose accruesia,

554
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:22,080
who made do what thou wilt famous through the 20th century, with followers like El Ron Hubbard,

555
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:29,120
the founder of Scientology, Harvard professor and drug guru Timothy Leary, and even Beatles founder,

556
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:35,840
John Lenin. Crowley is often credited with sparking the 1960s cultural revolution,

557
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:42,560
the do your own thing mentality dedicated to sex drugs and rock and roll. What could be

558
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:48,800
called the modern legacy of men like Franklin, Dashwood and the Hellfire Club.

559
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:15,200
But wait a minute. Obviously it cannot be said that Franklin's involvement with the Hellfire Club

560
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:21,520
is to be fully equated with the often crazed activities of a man like Crowley or even Timothy Leary.

561
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:27,280
Still one must wonder what Franklin was doing with a group of immoral aristocrats who

562
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,920
dabbled in devil worship, even if they were just kidding around as some have suggested.

563
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:40,720
Is it likely that this legendary founder of America, the man who discovered electricity,

564
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,440
invented the by-focals and co-authored the declaration of independence,

565
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,600
simply spent his time in England getting drunk and seducing women?

566
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:57,520
Franklin was known to be a crafty fellow. Could his dealings with Dashwood and the Hellfire Club

567
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,080
have somehow been a part of a greater agenda?

568
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:08,800
After all, Sir Francis Dashwood was no ordinary drunken rake. He also happened to be a member

569
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:14,320
of the British Parliament and was a close friend and advisor to King George III. The man

570
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:20,000
the American colonists would rebel against. The Hellfire Club itself were made up of English

571
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:25,920
nobility, some of whom held high offices in the King's government. Was it mere coincidence

572
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:31,760
that these men, close friends of Franklin, just happened to be in power when the British were defeated?

573
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:39,680
In his book, the occult conspiracy, author Michael Howard chronicles how Benjamin Franklin came to

574
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:46,160
England in 1758 to discuss the future of the American colonies with Sir Francis Dashwood.

575
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:55,600
Meanwhile British historian Richard Deacon, in his history of the British secret service,

576
01:02:55,600 --> 01:03:01,200
claims that Dashwood's Hellfire Club functioned as a center of English espionage.

577
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:08,720
Because of Franklin's many clandestine activities, some involving a British double agent named

578
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:15,760
Edward Bancroft, Deacon and fellow historian Professor Cecil B. Curry, speculate that Ben Franklin

579
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:23,120
may have been a covert spy for the British government, known either as number 72 or with the code name

580
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:31,440
Moses. But was Franklin working for the British or were secret powers within the King's own

581
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:38,240
government working with Franklin for the ancient plan of all secret societies, the new Atlantis?

582
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:47,840
Why would British intelligence refer to Benjamin Franklin as Moses? Normally enemies are given

583
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:53,040
names like Carlos the Jackal or the Butcher of Baghdad. But Moses?

584
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,880
Was the name itself a kind of cipher or secret code?

585
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:06,160
Had they already determined that as Moses led the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt,

586
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,400
so Franklin would lead the American colonies to freedom from King George?

587
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:17,360
Could this be why Benjamin Franklin's initial design for the great seal of the United

588
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:24,480
States was that of Moses standing on the shoreline of the Red Sea as the waters destroyed Pharaoh

589
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,840
and his army. With the motto rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

590
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:39,040
Coincidence? Maybe. Get in his book, America's secret destiny, author Robert Heronamus,

591
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:44,320
whose doctrinal thesis on the reverse of the great seal has been used by the White House,

592
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:49,600
the State Department, and the Department of the Interior, makes the comment that Franklin's

593
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:55,920
design for the seal represent it, quote, how he viewed America's birth and destiny.

594
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:05,040
Did Franklin really see himself as Moses? Defeating King George, the colonial Pharaoh,

595
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:10,720
with the help of Dashwood and the Hellfire Club and alarming theory.

596
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:17,040
But for British intelligence to undermine King George on behalf of a secret agenda,

597
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:21,440
should not be terribly surprising, at least not to the modern American.

598
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:29,840
Consider the conflict between President John F. Kennedy and the CIA during the Bay of Pigs invasion.

599
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:34,720
The CIA reportedly lied to the President on behalf of their secret agenda,

600
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:40,480
involving an assassination attempt on Fidel Castro. Something that would later lead to the

601
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:47,120
Cuban missile crisis. JFK was so surprised that their power, believing it to be a threat to the

602
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,680
American people, he vowed to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces.

603
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:58,080
Or what about the Iran Contra affair, where President Ronald Reagan stated

604
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:04,960
emphatically that the U.S. was not providing arms to Iran in exchange for hostages being held

605
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:11,440
by pro-Iranian terror groups. In spite of the wildly speculated in false stories about arms

606
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:19,920
for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not repeat, did not trade weapons or anything else

607
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:24,160
for hostages. But Reagan soon returned with an apology,

608
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:31,040
once he learned that yes, the U.S. was illegally selling arms to Iran, an enemy country.

609
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:36,720
The profits from the sales were then being used to finance a secret CIA operation,

610
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:44,240
involving the Contra's in Nicaragua. As with JFK, Reagan claimed that he had been manipulated and

611
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:50,800
lied to by secret powers within the intelligence community. It's going on, but had been kept from

612
01:06:50,800 --> 01:07:00,960
me and various covert. President Reagan and Kennedy,

613
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:06,960
where he humiliated, at being the most powerful men in the world, who were unaware of what the hidden

614
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,120
powers and their own government were up to.

615
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:18,160
Well, at least in the case of Kennedy, it was later revealed that President Reagan knew

616
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:22,320
more about the covert actions of the intelligence community than he had led on.

617
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:29,280
After all, his vice president, George Bush Sr. was the former head of the CIA,

618
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,520
and the member of an elite secret society known as the Skull and Bones.

619
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:42,640
Some find it interesting that while in office, President Reagan was made an honorary 33rd degree Mason.

620
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,480
Since then, America's presidents have all been members of secret orders,

621
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:54,400
including Skull and Bonesman, George W. Bush, whose war on terror is said by some to

622
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,960
have sparked the beginnings of World War III.

623
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:06,160
Bush claimed it was the CIA who provided the information about weapons of mass destruction

624
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:11,680
that ultimately led to the war in Iraq. As of the making of this documentary,

625
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:20,320
that information has turned out to be false. An intelligence error? Maybe. Or perhaps the

626
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:26,000
same powers that were working in the days of Benjamin Franklin have never really ceased a function?

627
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:34,080
Is it just a coincidence that the war on terror has provided the opportunity to spread democracy

628
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:35,040
to all the world?

629
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:41,520
And this is what people don't understand. As our president talks about,

630
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,600
how we want to bring democracy to all these countries of the world? Well, why does

631
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:50,400
need what bring every public to these countries? We were every public. We were never at democracy.

632
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:57,360
It is only the people from the mystery religions and the secret societies who are pushing this idea

633
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:04,000
of world to democracy or this combination of enlightened nations and enlightened democracies to

634
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:09,680
rule the world. As an incredible as an may seem, there are many people who believe that. They're

635
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,760
working full-time doors, compasses, that goal. And it's really to understand that they are the

636
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:20,560
primary force behind the wars of this last century and World War III, which we are entering into

637
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:27,760
today. And let's understand that the whole idea to create this real establishment of what they

638
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:34,480
believe is lost at last. This wonderful utopian society that they believe existed. Eons ago,

639
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:38,880
anybody who's still in the history of America knows we've read out establishes a democracy.

640
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:43,280
Our family fathers didn't believe in democracy. They've wanted every public,

641
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:49,040
a government of law, not the democracy, which is what the secret societies have been working for

642
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:55,440
for well over 3,000 years. Could this be the secret behind what's happening in the world today?

643
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:03,280
And was this the underlying motive in the war for American independence?

644
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:11,200
To wrestle the new world from the power of the old, that it might in time be used to bring forth

645
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:19,520
the great Atlantean plan envisioned by Sir Francis Bacon. Benjamin Franklin certainly knew

646
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:25,840
the works of Francis Bacon and all the ethics and things that he was trying to establish.

647
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:33,040
Bacon was a man that Benjamin Franklin had much in common with. Both men were the leading

648
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:39,280
scientists of their time. Both men were involved in printing and both men published works that

649
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:45,200
helped to transform the people of their generation. Both men developed their own system of

650
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:53,120
ciphers and secret codes which they used for intelligence purposes during wartime. And both men

651
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,520
were deeply involved in the Masonic and rose accruciant movements of their day.

652
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:07,440
Franklin was a member of Masonic and secret orders in America in England and in France.

653
01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:10,400
The three countries involved in the American Revolution.

654
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:18,480
But some researchers argue that his influence in France truly demonstrates his loyalty

655
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:22,560
to a plan that looked beyond America to a global revolution.

656
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:30,080
He was a master of the logic of the nine sisters, Naleshwara, the logic of the nine

657
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:35,440
sisters, right in Paris and that's where the revolution started. So he was a large master there

658
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:41,600
every time he visited the place. He has so many young people, very intelligent people,

659
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:47,200
a really believe that man could create a better society without being totally reliant upon

660
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:53,440
God. And of course we know that eventually he went to France and he was when he was in France

661
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:59,520
as the American ambassador to France. He was instrumental in pushing these ideas that led to

662
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:08,640
the French Revolution. Franklin went to France to convince King Louis XVI to finance the American

663
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:15,120
Revolution. But in the process Franklin was preaching radical ideas that would later on inspire the

664
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:20,800
French to overthrow Louis, the very monarch who had helped to pay for the founding of America.

665
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:27,760
Americans desperately needed money to fight the war of independence because, according to Franklin,

666
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:32,800
England had ruined their economy to keep America from becoming too prosperous.

667
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,800
When he was ambassador to England, the Bank of England said,

668
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:44,080
how come America, the representatives of the Bank of England said, how come America is getting so rich

669
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:49,520
and Franklin said, in his autobiography, recounts the story and said, well that's easy.

670
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:54,160
In America, we create our own money and we owe no interest to pay to no one.

671
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:59,440
So the Bank of England said, oh, that's very interesting. So they immediately had passed

672
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:05,200
to Parliament the Currency Act of 1764. And what did the Currency Act do? It outlined

673
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:11,440
the creation of America's own money and made put America on the gold standard, made Americans

674
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:16,320
pay their taxes and gold or silver coin, which of course was very scarce in the American colonies

675
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:22,160
in those days. So what was the result? It immediately plunged America into a deep depression.

676
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:32,400
Franklin says that this depression and everyone in America was well aware of what the

677
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:38,640
depression who caused the depression by Wisconsin, because England outlawed America just simply

678
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:45,760
printing its own money and that it was this Currency Act of 1764 that was really the root cause

679
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:53,920
of the American Revolution because it caused so much unemployment and a terrible economic up

680
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:59,920
evil. And Franklin's quote is, we could have endured a little tax on tea and other matters,

681
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:05,120
but it was England's taking away our ability to create our own currency that was really the root

682
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:09,920
cause of the Revolution. And so King Louis supported the American

683
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:15,760
cause through financial aid and the use of troops, but some years later, many of the French soldiers

684
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:21,440
who fought for America would return to France to fight the French Revolution. Among their leaders

685
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:28,160
would be an American hero, the Marquis de la Fiat who served alongside George Washington. La Fiat

686
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:33,520
was also a free Mason and close acquaintance of Benjamin Franklin, the man who seemed to be the

687
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:40,880
friend of nearly all the Revolutionaries of the day. It was Benjamin Franklin who initiated Voltaire himself

688
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:49,760
in 1778. He could then brag and say, Voltaire was a Mason. People would say if it's good enough

689
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,200
him, it must be good enough for me. I don't know what it's all about, but it sounds like good thing.

690
01:14:54,160 --> 01:15:00,160
While the writings of Voltaire inspired the French Revolutionaries, Americans were compelled by another

691
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:06,560
of Franklin's close friends Thomas Paine. Thomas Paine was a member of the Luna Society.

692
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:12,160
Benjamin Franklin would go and meet with them. Anyway, he recognised in Thomas Paine that the fellow

693
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:19,280
was, he's pretty good at writing. And so he brought him back with him to Philadelphia. Had he wrote

694
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:24,640
the pamphlets, the pamphlets that started the Revolution in America, it was a little booklet called

695
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:30,560
Common Sense. Thomas Paine wrote that. And it was kind of inciting people to war against King George

696
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:36,720
III. With the help of pain and his fellow masones, Franklin worked to create the Revolutionary

697
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:43,280
mentality among the colonies. Yes, Franklin developed the concept of the virtuous revolution.

698
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:49,360
The thought of revolting against a monarch amongst European people was absolutely anathema.

699
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:54,000
It went totally against the European mindset of the divine right of kings, where

700
01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:01,840
government is of God. Kings are appointed by God. And so the virtuous revolution was something really different.

701
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:08,800
But not all masones went along with Franklin's ideas. Like the man known as the Great American

702
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:14,640
Trader Benedict Donald, also a mason who chose to side with the British during the war.

703
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:23,600
Nevertheless, for good or for ill, masonry was clearly at the helm of the war of independence.

704
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:32,000
It seems ironic, however, that American masonry today owes its allegiance to the very country

705
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:37,760
it rebelled against. Modern masones traced their official beginning to the United Grand

706
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:48,080
of England, founded in 1717. The official start of masonry is in 1717 in the apple tree

707
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:54,400
tavern in London, where the first grand lodge of England was convened. And that's called the Mother

708
01:16:54,400 --> 01:17:01,440
Lodge, because essentially all English-speaking lodges precipitate out of that. And for example,

709
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:07,120
American lodges all the different grand lodges of the different states, all ultimately

710
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,880
all their allegiance and their warrant to the grand lodge of England.

711
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:18,240
Yet prior to the formation of the grand lodge, the seeds of modern masonry had already been

712
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:25,680
sewn through the work of Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon established the Masonic organization

713
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:32,240
that whole body that was established by Francis Bacon. The ethical programs that were inherent

714
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:40,720
within that he was responsible for those. His philosophy, his ethics, his literature that he was

715
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:48,960
responsible for would certainly be known to Benjamin Franklin. Was Franklin following Beacon's plan?

716
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:55,200
Was it mere coincidence that he was a chief catalyst in the launching of the American

717
01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:00,960
Revolution, or that his influence would also bring about the Revolution in France?

718
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:10,240
Masonic philosopher, Manly Peahal, wrote that not only were many American founders, Masons,

719
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:16,400
but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to

720
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:23,280
establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose, known only to the initiated few.

721
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:29,120
Hall further suggests that Benjamin Franklin was among those few.

722
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:37,760
In his book, The Secret Destiny of America, Hall writes of Franklin's involvement

723
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:45,600
with a plan of Francis Bacon. In chapter 13 titled, Bacon's Secret Society set up in America,

724
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:52,480
Hall features an illustration showing the eastern seaboard with Benjamin Franklin overseeing it,

725
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,200
while beside him is the shadow of Bacon.

726
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:05,520
Hall claims that Franklin spoke for the secret societies and that most of the men who worked with

727
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:10,960
him in the early days of the American Revolution were also members. He says, quote,

728
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:17,520
the plan was working out. The new Atlantis was coming into being, in accordance with the program,

729
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:25,680
laid down by Francis Bacon. To those who have studied him,

730
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:30,080
Sir Francis Bacon is one of the most enigmatic figures in world history.

731
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:38,400
Beconian societies have existed for centuries since his death in 1626, all of them credit Bacon

732
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:45,120
with the great advancements of the New World. Bacon is such an interesting character such a complex

733
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:53,440
character. He was right at the center of the storm politically. He even claimed in one of his

734
01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:59,120
writings that he was in possession of all knowledge. You can't even say that he was ignorant of

735
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:06,640
the Christian concept. He obviously had some concept of Christianity and speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ,

736
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:12,960
and yet he's a proponent of the New Atlantis concept, just a very complicated character.

737
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:20,880
Bacon is known as the Father of Modern Science and the grandfather of the English Enlightenment.

738
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:28,080
The phrase Knowledge's power is often attributed to him and represents his philosophy

739
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:34,560
that through knowledge or science mankind could transform himself and the world into its highest

740
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:42,880
state of Enlightenment. His dedication to science and learning led to the birth of England's

741
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:50,960
premier scientific organization. When the Royal Society of England was formed in 1662,

742
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:57,600
they named Bacon as their model and inspiration. There's a book written by Thomas Spratt,

743
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:04,080
who was the first president of the Royal Society. So this goes back to the early 1700s and he wrote a

744
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:08,720
history on it. And he acknowledged there that Francis Bacon was the originator of the idea.

745
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:16,400
Yet even beyond the Royal Society, 20th century historian will derand wrote that the whole

746
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:23,200
tenor and career of British thought have followed the philosophy of Bacon, a philosophy brought to

747
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:31,040
America and furthered by some of her most influential leaders. Thomas Jefferson considered Francis Bacon,

748
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:36,400
one of the three most important men in history, along with John Locke and Surahezic Newton.

749
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:43,520
It is even said that Jefferson believed he was fulfilling Bacon's dream for a new Atlantis

750
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:50,880
by founding the United States. As a result, nearly all Baconians credit Bacon with the founding of

751
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:58,240
America. This painting once owned by Baconian author Marie Bauer Hall shows the North American

752
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:05,040
continent with the spirit of Bacon rising from the midst. Above his head is the all-seeing eye of

753
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:12,240
Horace in the midst of a triangle. While upon his cloak is the rose and cross, the symbol of his rose

754
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:19,440
accruesions. Despite these things, Little is mentioned about Lord Bacon in the history books of

755
01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:26,800
America. There are no states, cities, towns or schools named after him, which begs the question,

756
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:33,040
other than Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, which of the founding fathers did he really influence.

757
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:38,720
Which of those founding fathers were most influenced by Bacon's work? I would suggest it was

758
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:45,280
all those to the were three nations. Well, I think probably all the first president from

759
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:51,600
America who were three nations, you could say were influenced by him because of the influence

760
01:22:51,600 --> 01:23:00,800
that went into three-masonry, but by Bacon. But I expect some were more influenced than others,

761
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:05,120
or more inspired than others, and some may not even have known that Bacon was behind it all.

762
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:11,360
It was sent for an inspired, but maybe they all would do. I mean they were pretty intelligent men.

763
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:28,160
Bacon is considered by some to be the first grandmaster of modern-free masonry.

764
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:35,200
While the craft would not be officially established until after his death, it was Bacon who

765
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:42,720
mapped out the plan for the ultimate aim of masonry and all secret societies. The establishment

766
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:51,040
of a new Atlantis. Peter Dawkins is the founder and president of the Francis Bacon Research Trust in

767
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:58,880
is dedicated more than 33 years to the study of Bacon, having written some 14 books about him,

768
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:04,640
with titles such as building paradise and Francis Bacon, parodled of the new age.

769
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,240
I research into the life and work of Francis Bacon and all those connected with him,

770
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:15,840
which also takes me back into the wisdom traditions, which I'm very interested in,

771
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,480
and into all the things like the founding of America, the spread of modern science,

772
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:27,360
and many other fascinating subjects is like a gateway, like a gateway into huge

773
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:36,240
wealth of information and knowledge for today. Dawkins' work is supported by the programed

774
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:43,760
master of English masonry, the marquee in North Hampton. The grandmaster in England is Prince Edward,

775
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:50,320
the Duke of Kent, because he is a member of the royal family, masonry allows Prince Edward to appoint

776
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:58,160
someone to act in his place. As such, the programed master, Lord North Hampton, is the acting head of

777
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:04,240
all British free masonry, while he declined to be interviewed for the stocky minnry. In his

778
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:09,600
correspondence with our producer, he made it clear that he supports Dawkins' research and

779
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:17,040
considers him an expert on Sir Francis Bacon. This is significant because the North Hampton legacy

780
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:27,200
dates back to the time of Bacon and Queen Elizabeth I. Today, Lord North Hampton holds authority

781
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:34,160
over Canaanbury Tower. Where Francis Bacon lived in his lifetime and where he is said to have met

782
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:43,920
with his secret societies. I was fascinating building and quite a lot of it still left. It was

783
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:51,840
was once a big mansion house and there's one wing of it left and also a tower which was at the end

784
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:57,920
of another wing which is disappeared and this tower is known as Canaanbury Tower and the whole

785
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:06,560
mansion itself was enlarged and decorated by a man called Sir John Spencer in Queen Elizabeth's

786
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:12,800
time and he had a year as Lord Mayor. He was quite an important guy in the city of London and

787
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:21,440
very very wealthy, wealthy merchant and he had a home in London itself and he also had Canaanbury

788
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:27,760
mansion as his country home because then it was in the country. Now it's just surrounded by

789
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:33,040
London, you know, far to London but then it was in the country up on the hill and a wonderful place

790
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:40,960
to go to to get the country here and good for your health. And Sir John Spencer was clearly involved

791
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:47,600
with free masonry and the early Rosa Crucian group and he embellished all the rooms of the house with

792
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:54,080
special carvings on the oak paneling which have masonry and resurrection themes.

793
01:26:54,240 --> 01:27:18,640
And particularly the far places are done very very carefully especially

794
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:28,160
but the the comps and the Spencer rooms still have the original carved paneling in and the

795
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:36,240
car far places full of masonry and resurrection themes. That was done by Sir John Spencer and the carvings

796
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:46,240
adated round about 1598 to 1601. That period will eventually the house was taken over by

797
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:53,200
Francis Bacon when he became Lord when he has made lawkeeper the great seal and then Lord Chancellor

798
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:58,400
and he rented the house for the rest of his life and it's during this time that

799
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:06,160
what's called invisible college was founded and many other things were done and he's known to

800
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:13,760
carry that scientific experiments there and it's quite clear too that the house was the perfect meeting

801
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:21,440
place for his resurrection group. It was a headquarters outside London, it was private in those days.

802
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:28,560
It could be well protected out of the prime of his. This labor of pursuing knowledge in secret

803
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:35,280
represents Bacon's belief and method of working. In his new Atlantis he wrote of a society

804
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:45,280
that observed all things but was known by no one. The symbolism of Bacon's home at Canaanbury Tower

805
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:51,360
with all its mystery supports the mystical view of the man held by Dawkins himself.

806
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:59,120
Well it using sort of east and terms I'd say he was a master but what what in India they call

807
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:07,760
a real master but but he was here in Europe in in in the UK or in England at that time and he was just

808
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:12,400
an extraordinary being. I actually think that he was the one that Parasels has made the prophecy

809
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:19,920
about called Elias the artist referring to Elijah and an interdition Elijah is said to come again

810
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:26,000
and again to prepare people for the coming of the missile coming of the Christ which has many different

811
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:33,040
interpretations and Bacon himself called called himself the Herald of the New Age which is the title of

812
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:42,160
Elijah. The question posed by critics of Baconian theology is what Christ did Bacon come to herald

813
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:49,520
was it the Christ of the Bible or the Christ of Masonry and the ancient mystery religion.

814
01:29:50,480 --> 01:29:57,200
In the ancient mysteries, a Trinity is also recognized and is represented by a symbol that is

815
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:03,440
little talked about but one that some believe stands at the heart of all the Masonic tradition.

816
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:10,400
It is known as the 47th Proposition of Euclid or the Pythagorean Theorem.

817
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:18,240
Manly P. Hall illustrates and explains the occult symbolism of this Theorem in his book,

818
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,320
the secret teachings of all ages.

819
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,920
According to Hall, the right triangle represents this Trinity.

820
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:33,760
The perpendicular side symbolizes the masculine or divine father.

821
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:38,480
While the base represents the feminine or divine mother.

822
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:50,800
Finally, the hypotenuse is looked upon as the offspring of them both, the divine child,

823
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,720
who is sometimes called the Masonic Christ.

824
01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:04,960
Was this what Bacon came to herald? A Christ that delivers man through knowledge or a science.

825
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:12,240
According to Peter Dawkins, Bacon's desire was to deliver mankind from the fall he had suffered

826
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:17,840
in the Garden of Eden to restore him to paradise through what he called the Six Days Work.

827
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,960
So he always believed that as man was made in the image of God as the Bible says,

828
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:29,280
therefore we should imitate what God does. All his work imitate what he's learnt from the Bible

829
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:35,200
and from the interpretations of the Bible. And so the Six Days Work creation is how to create

830
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:39,840
paradise because that's in the Bible what's created as a result of the Six Days Work.

831
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:46,640
So he calls his great restoration also the Six Days Work. Six Days Work creation.

832
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:54,400
And it is all planned out according to what he understood about what those six days or stages of

833
01:31:54,400 --> 01:32:00,880
creation can mean when interpreted into the human role that human beings can do.

834
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:08,640
While Bacon bases understanding on the Bible, Dawkins admits that his approach was not through

835
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:14,960
traditional Christian doctrine but rather a mystical view based in the teachings of Kabbalah.

836
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:24,160
He worked like a cabalist, he was a master of the Kabbalah and particularly the Christian Kabbalah.

837
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:31,280
The Kabbalah goes back through the Hebrews through Moses to ancient Egypt and before that

838
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:37,840
said to Enoch, who is the great initiative and king of Atlantis and it said all the teachings come from

839
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:46,640
Enoch, including this Kabbalah. And Bacon was a great master Kabbalah. His whole work is based on

840
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:54,640
cabalistic principles. While explaining Kabbalah could go on indefinitely, it might be generally

841
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:58,320
called the Jewish version of the ancient mystery religion.

842
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:08,480
In the modern world, Kabbalah has gained popularity among celebrities and has practiced by

843
01:33:08,480 --> 01:33:15,440
barbarous drives and Mick Jagger, Rosanne Bar, Brittany Spears, Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Taylor,

844
01:33:15,440 --> 01:33:23,040
Paris Hilton, Demi Moore, Winona Ryder and of course Madonna, who has become of principal spokesman,

845
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:31,440
much to the objection of some traditional Jews. In short, Kabbalah is designed to lead man kind

846
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:39,520
to perfection, where man becomes a godlike being. It is a system that goes hand in hand

847
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:42,800
with the concept of building paradise on earth.

848
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:51,680
So Francis Bacon, the great Kabbalist, believed that the pursuit of science or knowledge

849
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,320
was the way to achieve this great work.

850
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:04,480
Most school boys used to know who Francis Bacon was and what he contributed to our knowledge today

851
01:34:04,480 --> 01:34:11,760
and it was the method of science. Well his first most public and fundamental effect he had was to

852
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,720
form the basis of modern science, which is the experimental method.

853
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:25,440
So he promoted what Socrates had also promoted, which was to not just thinking your mind and

854
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:33,120
through arguments and so on, which is an Aristotelian method, but actually go out and look what is

855
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:39,440
there in reality, in nature and study nature and derive your thoughts and ideas from that and

856
01:34:39,440 --> 01:34:44,240
base experiments on that suit they work. Then if they work and if they're useful and they're

857
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:50,240
proved useful over a length of time, then you might consider you got perhaps a bit of truth.

858
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:56,640
And then you build on that. Well up up to Bacon's time most of what one could call science,

859
01:34:56,640 --> 01:35:01,200
which was not really properly existing and such, except in the mystery schools.

860
01:35:02,480 --> 01:35:08,800
In all university, academia and so on, was just producing arguments after arguments.

861
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:13,600
You see, up until Bacon's day, it was the church that was in control and in fact the

862
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:18,960
church was in control up until about the 1800s. So the church was in control, but the church

863
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:25,360
hierarchy wasn't necessarily pure Christian. There was a lot of people that were there because they

864
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:30,320
could handle three or four languages and they had great intellect, but were they Christians?

865
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:36,000
Real Christians? No, likely they were not. They knew this scripture of course, but they were

866
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:39,520
operating by the world system and so the world system corrupted them.

867
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,840
This corruption extended to their powers of discernment.

868
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:53,280
While the Bible teaches that men should prove all things, many church academics and the

869
01:35:53,280 --> 01:36:00,640
Middle Ages trusted in an unsound method of deductive reasoning, based upon a faulty understanding

870
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:07,120
of the scriptures. And it typically would go this way to give an example. They would say

871
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:13,360
from the book of Acts where it says, and the gospel was preached to the whole world. That's one statement.

872
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:19,040
Now the common statement that goes with that is, but the disciples and the apostles never went to the

873
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:24,000
whole world. And therefore you could deduce from those two statements that, well, there were no

874
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:30,320
people on the other side of the world to preach to. You see, well obviously, were because the

875
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:36,320
explorers found there were people in Australia and Tasmania. Yes, later they found that.

876
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:40,480
So there were other people on the other side of the world. So you see, they got the wrong deduction,

877
01:36:40,480 --> 01:36:45,440
using that method of deduction. And that's what Francis Bacon pointed out. He said to so much nonsense.

878
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:54,400
And so Bacon sent out to establish a scientific method, one by which mankind might achieve

879
01:36:54,400 --> 01:37:01,040
all knowledge. Through this method, Bacon sought to bring forth a light that would eventually

880
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:09,280
disclose and bring into sight all that is most hidden and secret in universe. But first,

881
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:15,120
he would have to find a way to overcome the stubborn traditions employed by the academics of his

882
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:23,600
day who would rather debate than examine. Bacon gives the great example in the

883
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:30,720
exasperation when he was a university saw that the professors and students spent three or four years

884
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:37,120
debating how many teeth the horse has. Nobody went out to actually count them. You know,

885
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:43,840
they just wasted all that time to basically have any teeth at all, so he thought, saw that

886
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:50,160
it's fruitless. Wasn't producing anything good or useful. And humanity just was not evolving

887
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:55,520
in so many people in poverty and sickness. So that's you wanted to relieve that poverty and sickness.

888
01:37:56,240 --> 01:38:04,080
And get us towards a future paradise, a well-paradise, not just for the England but for the world.

889
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:10,880
So he really started the whole principles of modern science, which is this experimental method.

890
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:19,840
And then he had a formula to start with the basics, the physical world, which is physics,

891
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:27,040
physical laws and then work up towards metaphysics and so on. He couldn't talk too openly when

892
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:31,280
it got to metaphysics because it landed him in trouble with the religions at the time who are at

893
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:37,840
war with each other. So he had to do that in a more careful way, more veiled way. But right about

894
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:48,240
what he did. Bagan's metaphysical ideas led him into teachings that would have been condemned

895
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:55,360
by both the Catholic and Protestant churches of his day. He is said to have made contact with the

896
01:38:55,360 --> 01:39:00,800
spirit realm and that upon hearing a heavenly voice he was given his life's work.

897
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:07,680
To protect himself, he kept his practices veiled within secret societies.

898
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,280
In particular, the ancient brotherhood of the rose and cross.

899
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:21,600
The rose accretions had long believed that powers and principalities from the spirit realm

900
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:26,160
possess secret knowledge that might be used for the benefit of mankind.

901
01:39:26,480 --> 01:39:36,320
These and other teachings were to be kept hidden from those considered profane and especially

902
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:42,880
from the church. The rose accretions had to be a secret society. Their object was to

903
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:49,440
got discovered God's truths after him. But some of their methodology was bordering on which

904
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:54,240
for instance the transmutation of base metals into gold. They claimed they could do it.

905
01:39:55,440 --> 01:40:01,200
I don't think so. They claimed that they could communicate with angels and demons.

906
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:06,720
In the first place the scripture tells you not to do it. But their idea was that if you could do that,

907
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:11,520
surely those creatures at least the angels and the demons, they know a lot of things that we

908
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:16,720
don't know after all they've been around since time immemorial. And they are familiar with

909
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:21,600
heaven itself so surely they can tell us many secrets. While the church you see would take a

910
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,000
dim view of that and they could be put to death for that sort of thing.

911
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:32,160
The rose accretions society had been formed in England prior to Vagan's birth.

912
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,280
In part for the purpose of protecting Queen Elizabeth I.

913
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:48,080
In the 16th century the conflict between Roman Catholicism and the Protestant Church of England was at its peak.

914
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:57,520
Mary Tutor the daughter of King Henry VIII took the throne and earned the title,

915
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:03,280
Bloody Mary. They were looking for another heir and so there were no boy

916
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:11,520
as of no legal boy as of Henry. But he had daughters and so we have Mary. Mary was now 37.

917
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:17,200
She was one of his daughters and so she was installed as Queen and that was just after he

918
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:26,320
died so that would be in 58. And she was a Catholic, a died in the wall Catholic and she had actually

919
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:32,480
married Prince Philip II of Spain because he was Catholic too. So the first thing that Mary did was

920
01:41:32,480 --> 01:41:37,120
to repeal those laws which permitted the Protestant to practice their religion, repealed them

921
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:42,400
and then forcefully put to death as many Christians or of the Protestant faith as she could find.

922
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:49,440
Within the confines of the data that we have she put to death 300. So there was 300 martyrs there

923
01:41:49,440 --> 01:41:53,360
that we know about in the short six year reign that she had.

924
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:59,360
No one was safe from Mary's wrath against the so-called Protestant heretics,

925
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:06,400
not even her own sister. Elizabeth Tutor was also the daughter of King Henry VIII

926
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:13,120
with his second wife and Belin, whom Henry had married after divorcing Catherine of Erragon,

927
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:21,120
the mother of Queen Mary. When she was installed as Queen she put her sister Elizabeth I in

928
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:25,680
China because she was suspected of being Protestant so she went to the Tower of London.

929
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:32,160
While imprisoned in the Tower Elizabeth formed a friendship with a mysterious member of the court,

930
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:37,120
a mathematician and mystic named Dr. John D.

931
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:43,840
He was known in the early Elizabeth and days as the real-mort-wise man, the magus,

932
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:54,240
and he was into a lot of esoteric study. He was certainly an initiative of the wisdom traditions.

933
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:58,720
Dr. John D was one of the foremost geniuses of his day.

934
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:05,600
John D was 34 years older than Francis Bacon and John D was a mathematician,

935
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:12,000
lived in London, he was a mathematician and astrologer to Queen Mary Tutor.

936
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,120
That's Blundy Mary.

937
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:20,400
While D began in Mary's service he soon fell out of favor because of his bizarre

938
01:43:20,480 --> 01:43:30,720
experiments and some say his friendship with Elizabeth. In any case D was imprisoned under suspicion

939
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:39,280
of sorcery and accusation that would follow him throughout his life and one that seems not unfounded

940
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:45,120
considering his system of magic is still practiced by many occultists at his day.

941
01:43:45,440 --> 01:43:52,880
Blundy and he is most noted for today. I'm on call this is that he and a fellow named Edward Kelly

942
01:43:52,880 --> 01:44:04,000
who was a medium did magical invocations related to the book of Inak to produce an entire

943
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:11,520
what today is called a knocking system of magic and it is incredibly complex language and

944
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:21,360
alphabet and cubes and magic squares and it's extremely complex and it's very very powerful.

945
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:29,520
In his quest for knowledge D tapped into the powers of the beyond hoping to learn secrets from the spirit realm.

946
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:39,040
But as not to say he wasn't trying to communicate with angels he did and they can be contacted

947
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:46,000
and talked with it roughly it means messengers of God. So that's what D was trying to do in his own way.

948
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:53,280
But he obses to open about it so in the end he got persecuted for this.

949
01:44:54,640 --> 01:45:00,080
But not everyone saw D's dadling as communicating with angels of God.

950
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:08,160
D once wrote that he was looked upon as a companion of hellhounds, a caller and a conjurer of wicked

951
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:16,400
and damn its spirits. Yet like bacon he practiced much of his craft and secret as an active member of the

952
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:23,440
rose accruesions in England. Some even creditee with founding the modern rose accruesion movement.

953
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:31,040
As such, communing with angelic beings that provide scientific knowledge was a familiar practice.

954
01:45:31,440 --> 01:45:43,200
Now there was a pretty very brief and shady dividing line between what they called scientific knowledge and what we might call outright witchcraft to tell.

955
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,440
It was the demarcation there was very shadowy.

956
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:53,280
This shadowy line was one that decrust many times.

957
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:58,880
Yet for a while he flourished under the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

958
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:05,600
During this era, some believe that he was a kind of mentor to sufrances bacon.

959
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:14,240
Well we know from D's diary that bacon made one visit, at least two

960
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:22,240
dr. John D's home at Mordleib. And when these visits were recorded D was

961
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:29,120
meaning people had come to talk with D and discuss esoteric matters with him and to

962
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:35,600
use his library and so on like that. So we know that that's a historical record we have.

963
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:39,600
Otherwise it's circumstantial evidence.

964
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:48,000
Bacon clearly knew Dr. John D because he was an important person in Queen Elizabeth's court and

965
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:54,320
Frostbake was a courtier. Perhaps the reason for the lack of records in bacon's relationship

966
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:59,680
with John D is that their work was done behind the veil of secret societies.

967
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:05,280
Let's always be in these secret societies trying to promote learning and

968
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:12,320
and raise the level of people's thought and culture to kind of level and higher level.

969
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:17,680
But mostly it worked in secret because the church most of the different churches

970
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:27,280
of being said, well not very kind. The problem we're dealing with here is that Europeans

971
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:32,320
discovered an awful lot of information and very important good solid information of

972
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:39,760
sciences that had been developed richly elsewhere and it were brought into Europe and we're so

973
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:45,840
threatening to Christianity that they had to be suppressed. We know what happened to Galileo

974
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:53,520
and we know what happened to endless numbers of Geradano Bruno and so many others in science.

975
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:59,840
They had to go underground. So the process of forcing knowledge and wisdom underground

976
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:07,360
created a lot of coding and a lot of buzzwords and a lot of secret gestures and

977
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:13,840
terms that still aren't understood to this day. So D is amongst that group.

978
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:21,600
While men such as Galileo were persecuted for representing scientific knowledge,

979
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:28,560
the secret societies of the Elizabethan era were in danger not for the knowledge they possessed

980
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:35,120
but how they obtained it through a cult practices of summoning spirits and conjuring demons.

981
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,880
They were nevertheless determined to continue for the cause of science and learning.

982
01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:49,280
Dr. John D led the way in this arena. His method became known as Angel Magic because of his

983
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:54,800
contact with spirits that he believed were sometimes good and sometimes evil.

984
01:48:57,440 --> 01:49:03,520
At one point these angels compelled him to visit the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph the second

985
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:08,960
and tell him that he was wicked and that if he did not repent, God would throw him down

986
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:15,600
incredibly, DO-Bade the Angels, visit the Emperor and establish a friendship

987
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:22,800
that would help to protect him from persecution later on. In his experiments D worked with a

988
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:29,280
medium named Edward Kelly. Kelly was the one who often made contact with the spirits D commumed with.

989
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:38,080
In a diary entry of June 8, 1584, D records a startling account. He claims that Kelly was

990
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:45,760
greatly troubled when the angels tried to persuade him that Jesus was not God and that no prayers ought

991
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:54,480
to be made to him. They further claimed that sin did not really exist and that man's soul simply

992
01:49:54,480 --> 01:50:03,360
moves from one body to another. In what sounds like reincarnation. Upon hearing this, Kelly was

993
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:12,080
apparently distraught and believed they had contacted evil spirits. Nevertheless, the angels

994
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:25,120
provided Dr. D with gifts of knowledge. D was the first to apply Euclidean geometry to navigation.

995
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:31,760
He built the instruments for and trained the first great navigators. He is credited with

996
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:37,760
coining the word Britannia or Britann and his influence laid the foundation for what would

997
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:45,040
become the British Empire. He made his own maps and is said to have charted the northeast and

998
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:51,120
northwest passages and his attempts to increase the wealth of England by gaining access to the new world.

999
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:57,440
And believe it or not, the new world has been secretly influenced by his example.

1000
01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:05,600
John D is considered the original wizard. He was the inspiration for the character of Prospero

1001
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:13,440
in Shakespeare's The Tempest and for Christopher Marlos Dr. Faustus. In the modern world, D was the

1002
01:51:13,440 --> 01:51:20,080
role model for JK Rowling's Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter books, the character of Gandalf

1003
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:26,560
in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and even Ian Fleming's James Bond. Few people know that

1004
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:35,360
John D was the original agent 007 in her Majesty's Secret Service. He and Fleming got the idea for

1005
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:42,640
his designation 007 for James Bond from the fact that that was how John D was signed his

1006
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:47,120
correspondence when he was overseas working as a spy for Queen Elizabeth. He could always sign

1007
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:54,240
his name 007 and that's where the concept came in for James Bond. Because he was James Bond was originally

1008
01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:59,200
intended to be kind of a modern day Dr. John D, I'll not never really develop that way.

1009
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:09,440
While these character continues to intrigue, somewhat argue that compelling the imaginations of literary

1010
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:18,720
minds was not his greatest influence. This image shows what appears to be a wizard-old man passing

1011
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:23,120
a lamp in the dead of night to a younger man in Elizabethan clothing.

1012
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:32,240
Baconians believe this old world engraving represents Dr. John D passing the lamp of

1013
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:43,280
esoteric knowledge and wisdom to his successor Francis Bacon. Both Bacon and D were

1014
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:49,760
men of science dedicated to the advancement of learning. Both men were members of the Rosa

1015
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:59,440
Crucian Society of which Bacon would become the chief. Like Bacon, John D believed that America

1016
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:09,520
was indeed the lost continent of Atlantis. But where did he get this idea? Was it given to him by his

1017
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:20,960
angels? And did he pass this concept on to Francis Bacon? We can only speculate.

1018
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:28,480
But when Queen Elizabeth took the throne, the dream of colonizing this new Atlantis

1019
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:40,080
would come closer to being a reality. When Bloody Mary, as she was called, this was Mary

1020
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:44,160
Tudor who would be now on the throne and persecuted in the Christians and she died,

1021
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:50,720
perhaps ironically with a false pregnancy. And so when she died in 1558, we're now after that,

1022
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:57,040
Elizabeth the first came in as Queen. And so there were questions of what day should be chosen for?

1023
01:53:57,040 --> 01:54:05,040
Elizabeth's coronation. The coronation of a new ruler was an important event.

1024
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:10,800
The timing of which it was believed could determine the success or failure of a monarch's reign.

1025
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:17,360
To ensure her good fortune, Elizabeth called upon her old friend, Dr. John D.

1026
01:54:18,480 --> 01:54:24,320
He was the Queen's astrologer to he computed the date for her to be crowned.

1027
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:28,640
Astronauty in those days didn't mean necessarily what we understand it to mean today.

1028
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:35,040
There were some odd things about it, but there was a study of the stars. We would call today astronomy.

1029
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:40,240
So they had to know about the movements of the stars and the planets. And they were pretty

1030
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:44,880
knowledgeable about that. So it was a strange mixture of astrology and astronomy.

1031
01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:50,000
So that's what he was doing. It's debatable how the efforts of

1032
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:55,600
D's astrology impacted the course of England. But when the new queen took the throne,

1033
01:54:55,600 --> 01:55:01,680
it marked the beginning of an unprecedented era in English history. During this time,

1034
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:07,040
the language of the new world would be transformed. Ancient knowledge would unfold,

1035
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:10,480
and the course of the philosophical empire would be established.

1036
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:16,720
The modern world would be changed forever, largely because of Queen Elizabeth the first.

1037
01:55:17,520 --> 01:55:22,800
And he was bright. This was Queen Elizabeth the England. One of the brightest queens

1038
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:28,080
her to England has ever had. Whether she was a true Christian or not was perhaps doubtful,

1039
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:32,640
but at least she did support the Protestant cause and not the Catholic one.

1040
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:41,840
The Queen's Protestant faith made her immediate enemies in Rome.

1041
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:50,880
In April of 1570, Pope Pius V issued a papal ball excommunicating her from quote,

1042
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:57,360
the unity of the body of Christ. Well that meant the purpose saying to all the Catholic kings of

1043
01:55:57,360 --> 01:56:02,560
Europe go and invade England, kill the queen, take over the country, make it Catholic and I could be

1044
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:10,160
mudless. So that was a huge threat to England and the Queen. So the the English, you didn't like that.

1045
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:19,040
That's like that idea that they formed a close knit protection around the Queen and their country.

1046
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:46,080
Which is said to have been formed in England for the purpose of protecting Elizabeth.

1047
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:52,080
But some suspect the order of the rose and cross had yet another agenda.

1048
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:57,200
I think they would have definitely been on the the Protestant side of things they would have

1049
01:56:57,200 --> 01:57:03,520
had a vested interest in using all of their both political savvy and a cult savvy to protect

1050
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:07,520
the queen. But I also think they had an esoteric agenda as well.

1051
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:13,680
This this society had a various terex base it behind it. It had links with the wisdom.

1052
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:19,200
Society's wisdom traditions throughout Europe and inherited a lot of that.

1053
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:25,520
Look that that wisdom might be in post-on and so they had an inner program which was

1054
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:31,600
to try to raise consciousness of society. According to Began, rose accretionism seemed to

1055
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:36,720
represent the very heart and focus of the entire New Atlantis concept.

1056
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:43,760
Francis Bacon's last book that he was writing at the time when he allegedly died.

1057
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:50,080
That was 1626. But his last book was called The New Atlantis and the subtitle was the land

1058
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:56,640
of the Rossic Crusade. Why the land of the rose accruesay or rose accruesions?

1059
01:57:56,640 --> 01:58:01,680
Why did Began deem their influence to be so important?

1060
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:07,200
Rose accruesionism gets its name from the symbols the main symbols used.

1061
01:58:08,240 --> 01:58:12,640
And that's the rose and the cross. But these are very ancient symbols to go back

1062
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:20,800
long, long, long, long way in time and being used by different societies for thousands of years.

1063
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:27,520
In the hands of different societies, the symbol has been interpreted in a variety of ways.

1064
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:34,960
There is the decipherment of the rose that received much attention in Dan Brown's DaVinci code.

1065
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:46,960
The rose is a symbol of secrecy and the term in Latin that characterized the relationship

1066
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:53,280
of the rose to secrecy was sub-brose, meaning under the rose. So secret orders were rolled round

1067
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:57,200
when they swear to secrecy swear sub-brose.

1068
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:04,080
The secrecy of the rose represents the hidden knowledge of the ancient mystery religion

1069
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:11,280
while the cross symbolizes Christianity. The combining of these two is what defines the belief

1070
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:19,840
of nearly all the secret orders. This symbology there is the infusion of all this Eastern

1071
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:23,920
spirituality into Christianity.

1072
01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:32,400
Was this fusion of beliefs a part of Began's plan? And what sort of impact could it have?

1073
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:38,880
The reformers argued that the mixture of paganism and Christianity is what produced the

1074
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:48,160
dark ages. What began's program of the rose and cross be a blessing or a curse?

1075
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:52,320
And how would this whole thing be carried out?

1076
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:05,040
When one follows the rose' crucial trail, John D was a very, very key influence in historical

1077
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:11,360
rose accruesions and some say even the you know the founder of it, the first president of it,

1078
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:18,640
but at some point the the president of the sea was given over to Francis Bacon and he was in

1079
02:00:18,640 --> 02:00:22,560
charge of rose accruesions not just in England but it was spread right through Europe.

1080
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:32,240
And was following his Bacon's particular program. And Bacon's outwardly Bacon court is

1081
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:38,400
programmed the advancement of proficiency of learning. This advancement of learning represented

1082
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:46,000
Bacon's desire to transform the world through knowledge. But he recognized that the key to obtaining

1083
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:53,840
knowledge was in a people's ability to communicate. As such, Bacon worked to reform the English language

1084
02:00:53,840 --> 02:01:01,040
in ways never before realized. And it is a bit strange that the English language has crudas it

1085
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:07,520
in the time of Bacon's youth. By the time he died it was becoming one of the most refined

1086
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:13,680
languages. But in England at that time the English was dreadful. It was garbled with all kinds

1087
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:19,200
of different dialects because if you think about it, England was made up of the Saxons, the Dains,

1088
02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:23,600
the Gauls who were invaded, they were the Frenchman, and they were a whole mixture of languages.

1089
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:26,800
So very often one Englishman could not communicate with another.

1090
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:33,280
To address the problem, Bacon surrounded himself with writers and poets who were like-minded.

1091
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:39,040
Always people, these kind of intellectual people, they all read and wrote in Latin,

1092
02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:43,600
but they said, look, we need an English language. We're going to be a great country.

1093
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:50,400
So they needed a language and literature. So how to develop that skill? And that's what

1094
02:01:50,400 --> 02:01:56,240
I think that's principally what Bacon did. He gathered around him a literary society.

1095
02:01:56,400 --> 02:02:02,480
You know, writers, poets, artists as well. And some of them were employed to

1096
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:09,760
as part of the youth secret service of Queen Elizabeth and they had communications with people all

1097
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:14,640
over Europe in all the different countries of Europe. And from their letters they derived

1098
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:21,520
the roots of New English words which they invented and put out. These new words were put out

1099
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:27,360
through a variety of literary works, books and poems and plays of the theater. Bacon,

1100
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:32,880
circle of writers and poets were largely responsible for the explosion of English literature

1101
02:02:32,880 --> 02:02:39,040
during the Elizabethan era. They included such notable authors as Ben Johnson,

1102
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:43,520
Christopher Marlow, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Edmund Spencer to name a few.

1103
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:49,360
In addition, Bacon was dedicated to bringing the sacred knowledge of the ancient world

1104
02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:55,200
to English-speaking people. Knowledge otherwise kept hidden by the barriers of language.

1105
02:02:55,200 --> 02:03:01,680
When he died and subsequently that they've called together at least 2,000 books

1106
02:03:02,400 --> 02:03:06,400
that he not books that he wrote because obviously one man couldn't write that number.

1107
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:12,800
But he had a what he called a scriptorium. These were scribes who he paid to write for him.

1108
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:20,240
When he was the Lord High Chancellor of England, he had wealth and he used to pay the scriptorium

1109
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:27,520
these scribes and he paid people to translate the classic books. Homer's Iliad, all the old

1110
02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:35,280
Greek, the Roman classics and all those classics, living, translate them all into English and put

1111
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:40,960
them in books. It turns out to that Bacon had a printing press. He had a factory with using brass

1112
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:46,160
plates for printing. He was his own thing. Nobody knew about that until, rather recently.

1113
02:03:46,720 --> 02:03:53,440
But nevertheless there were 2,000 works that we know of that passed through his hands in one way or another

1114
02:03:53,440 --> 02:04:00,720
to give literacy to the English public printing presses to make these books available to many

1115
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:02,400
people at a cheap price.

1116
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:10,720
But Bacon's purpose and that of his literary society was to prepare the people of the old world

1117
02:04:10,720 --> 02:04:18,400
to colonize the land of the new. As the term colonization scheme suggests, the launching of

1118
02:04:18,400 --> 02:04:26,080
Bacon's plan for America was not by chance but by design. It could be said that his great

1119
02:04:26,080 --> 02:04:33,040
scheme began at an early age, perhaps when he was sent by Queen Elizabeth I to the court of France

1120
02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:36,560
where he was inspired by the example of the French poets.

1121
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:50,240
Another major influence he obviously was inspired in France by the French

1122
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:55,920
plodies, the group of French poets who were deliberately trying to make the French language into a

1123
02:04:56,000 --> 02:05:04,800
really good language, particularly for poetry and writing and so on of that sort. Bacon spent several

1124
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:09,680
years of the French court came back very inspired and wanted to do the same thing for the English language.

1125
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:18,800
Upon his return to England he was sent to study law at the prestigious Gray Zen in London

1126
02:05:18,800 --> 02:05:25,680
where his statue can be seen today. It was here that Bacon formed the beginnings of his own

1127
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:33,760
literary society, a secret group known as the Knights of the Helmet. The Knights of the Helmet were

1128
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:42,240
actually the name of the Marsequie Roads, or its thought he must have written, could some Marsequie put

1129
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:48,320
together by a lot of people for the royal court or for the Inns of Court which was where the lawyers

1130
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:55,920
and to get a job as a lawyer or a minister or official in the government you had to be

1131
02:05:56,640 --> 02:06:01,680
a look first of all the lawyer and you had to know how the royal court worked. So every year they had

1132
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:07,920
to put on huge celebrations, imitating the royal court and part of that celebration was masks

1133
02:06:08,720 --> 02:06:15,840
and many people were involved in creating these entertainments with their masks. France is

1134
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:22,480
just one of them but he became a key one and he wrote quite a lot of the of the mask material

1135
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:28,480
which one can identify when she gets a no-bacon is right and she can identify what was done

1136
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:34,480
and he's acclaimed by the lawyers as being the greatest great one who inspired them and led them

1137
02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:43,840
wrote for them you know. But the Knights of the Helmets was a name of one of the Marsequie moments

1138
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:50,000
when the whole Shakespeare authorship the name the Shakespeare was being used the first time.

1139
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:57,040
The Knights of the Helmets took his their inspiration the Greek goddess Palas Athena who carried his

1140
02:06:57,040 --> 02:07:04,720
spear and who wore a great helmet a symbol of secrecy. According to tradition one that wears the

1141
02:07:04,720 --> 02:07:10,960
helmet of Athena becomes invisible and by that swear allegiance to it not only that Athena the goddess

1142
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:17,520
Athena carried a spear but she shook in the eyes of ignorance and she was one of the greatest

1143
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:22,480
goddesses among the Greeks. Rooling through intellect and man's wisdom.

1144
02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:30,720
Even as Dr. John D had been inspired by angelic beings some researchers believe that a spiritual

1145
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:35,760
encounter with Palas Athena gave bacon the inspiration for his life's work.

1146
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:43,040
Well in some of those cipher writings that he had written he writes they are how this some he heard

1147
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:50,320
him heavily voice. The voice he heard inspired him towards secrecy and to imitate the work of God.

1148
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:58,160
The divine majesty takes delight to hide his work according to the innocent play of children.

1149
02:07:58,800 --> 02:08:03,760
Surely for thee to follow the example of the most high god who cannot be censored.

1150
02:08:04,480 --> 02:08:10,240
Therefore put away popular applause and after the manner of song and the keen

1151
02:08:10,240 --> 02:08:15,840
compose a history of thy time and folded into inic medical writings and cunning

1152
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:22,640
mixtures of the theatre. That was his mission in life and for the rest of bacon's life

1153
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:29,120
and it was dedicated to that one purpose. Vekonian scholars believe that bacon's revelation

1154
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:35,200
led him to develop a series of theatrical works that would teach the English people and transform

1155
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:41,200
them into a nation that could one day dominate the world and resurrect the Atlantean dream.

1156
02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:48,960
Believing that he put away popular applause as his heavenly voice had commanded. He is said to have

1157
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:56,000
written behind the identity of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is a synonym for

1158
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:02,640
Apollo and Palas Athena. They both known as shakers of the spear in classical tradition and the

1159
02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:09,600
spear represents a ray of light, a ray of wisdom and they shake that spear at the dragon of

1160
02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:16,880
ignorance. Exactly what Ben Johnson says in his preface to the Shakespeare folio to shake a lance

1161
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:25,040
at the dragon of ignorance. And this is the role of an Apollo or Palas Athena and they have always been

1162
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:32,400
the the muses of the other nine muses who themselves and the muses of all the writers, poets,

1163
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:40,160
artists and so on in history. So it's a Apollo and Athena, the great inspires. They have a great

1164
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:47,120
Shakespeare's. Bacon incorporated these Greek gods within a key symbol, the double-A headpiece

1165
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:54,800
representing Apollo and Athena. Usually one of the A's is shaded, denoting a light and dark

1166
02:09:54,880 --> 02:10:01,120
sign. This symbol is found printed at the head of certain pages within the Shakespeare folio

1167
02:10:01,120 --> 02:10:09,360
and among the acknowledged works of Francis Bacon. Of the two polarities, Apollo and Athena,

1168
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:20,160
it was Athena that seemed to dominate Bacon's imagination. Palas Athena was she shook her spear

1169
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:25,920
at the eyes of ignorance. So she was the spear shaker. Now she's always been known to the

1170
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:30,880
spear shaker. That was long before the time of Bacon, back to the Greeks, the spear shaker.

1171
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:37,760
So he took that name spear shaker and just turned it around to make it Shakespeare and it used to

1172
02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:43,200
be written with a hyphen and then it became one word, Shakespeare as the name of the playwright

1173
02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:44,880
for those Shakespeare in place.

1174
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:54,400
But what of the real William Shakespeare, the Stratford man whose name has been revered for nearly

1175
02:10:54,400 --> 02:11:01,120
500 years? His writings have been attributed to a number of other authors, including the playwright

1176
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:07,440
Christopher Marlow, Edward DeVir, the 17th Earl of Oxford and even Queen Elizabeth herself.

1177
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:16,080
But Sir Francis Bacon seems to lead the pack of woodbee bars with well over 200 books, essays and

1178
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:22,160
pamphlets on the subject, many of which insist he is the real and true Shakespeare.

1179
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:30,560
Meanwhile, Baconian scholars argue that the Stratford man simply lacked the experience and education

1180
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:32,880
to have written the words that bear his name.

1181
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:41,920
There is a mystery because when you look at the plays, everything is in them and what lies

1182
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:48,400
behind them in terms of experience, knowledge and so on like that's expressed through the

1183
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:54,000
plays and the philosophy and the plays and so on like that they do not match up with what we know

1184
02:11:54,560 --> 02:12:02,480
of the life of the actor. The life of the actor is quite well known, it's quite a lot of research

1185
02:12:02,480 --> 02:12:08,160
been done on William Shakespeare's Stratford. So a lot is known about his life and none of it matches

1186
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:13,840
up what you can deduce from the author from the plays themselves. If at the more we find out

1187
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:22,640
about the life of the actor, the more the worse it gets. Here you have a guy who is barely

1188
02:12:22,720 --> 02:12:30,640
literate enough to make a mark, much less right his name. His mark was only an existing in five

1189
02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:36,560
documents. There's not a single letter either from him or to him by any of his contemporaries.

1190
02:12:36,560 --> 02:12:41,440
How can this guy have written the greatest literary works in the history of the world? It just

1191
02:12:41,440 --> 02:12:46,480
didn't happen. Whoever's the author certainly knew about certain things happening abroad in the royal

1192
02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:52,560
courts in France in Italy and in Spain. Not only taught the workings of the court but the

1193
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:59,280
intrigues as well and who would know that certainly not a play actor like the William Shakespeare.

1194
02:13:00,080 --> 02:13:04,400
There's no way that man could have known the intrigues that went on inside the court.

1195
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:09,200
But France is back and did. It was well familiar with it. It was brought up in the court.

1196
02:13:09,200 --> 02:13:14,240
You can't just say O'Gina's did it all, it's impossible for Gina's alone to do that.

1197
02:13:14,240 --> 02:13:20,160
You've got to have all that background experience knowledge and so on to get something like the

1198
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:26,560
Shakespeare plays. There's even a quote from one of the justices, one of the English justices

1199
02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:32,880
that it's clear that from the Shakespeare writings that the author had to be an attorney because

1200
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:38,800
there is not a single legal error contained in any of them. He writes, the author writes,

1201
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:44,800
naturally as if he's a lawyer. He doesn't just put in legal terms here and there just to suit the

1202
02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:51,440
story. It just legal terms and whole legal jar can just rolls off him. Absolutely naturally as if

1203
02:13:51,440 --> 02:13:57,760
he's used to living in that environment all the time. Well that doesn't fit the actor from Strapford.

1204
02:13:57,760 --> 02:14:02,320
There's just no way the historic William Shakespeare could have written these plays. There's only one

1205
02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:08,080
person who could have possibly been the author of those plays which is France's bacon.

1206
02:14:09,360 --> 02:14:15,840
Yet wouldn't the colossal size of all the plays, poems and sonnets be too much for bacon himself

1207
02:14:15,840 --> 02:14:22,320
to complete? Especially while becoming a lawyer launching modern science and writing the many other

1208
02:14:22,320 --> 02:14:29,360
works attributed to him. This could be where the nights of the helmet took part as evidence suggests

1209
02:14:29,360 --> 02:14:34,960
that the plays may have been the collective effort of bacon's literary society.

1210
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:41,920
We know from historical records that bacon actually had a literary group around him. Some of them

1211
02:14:41,920 --> 02:14:46,960
were actually paid employed by him and others just did it voluntarily. A big group.

1212
02:14:48,320 --> 02:14:56,960
Why? Why did he do that? You know you don't employ a lot of people or writers poets, artists,

1213
02:14:56,960 --> 02:15:03,760
and as well as cipher experts and so on. You don't employ them for nothing. So what did they do?

1214
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:10,160
Then you get the answer to Shakespeare plays because scholars have found out there's been other

1215
02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:15,440
contributions in the plays from other poets and so on and we'll put a little bit in here and there.

1216
02:15:15,440 --> 02:15:19,680
Then you find that they were either associated with or employed by bacon.

1217
02:15:21,120 --> 02:15:27,040
In that group they're all part of this one group. Then the picture emerges of a typical

1218
02:15:27,120 --> 02:15:33,760
Renaissance studio. But instead of being an artist, a painter with his studio pupils.

1219
02:15:33,760 --> 02:15:41,040
You've got a writer with his studio of pupils. Working with him they each contribute a little

1220
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:47,360
bit to the picture or the story, but the main artist or author is for artists making himself.

1221
02:15:57,840 --> 02:16:07,360
But in the town of Stratford, upon Avan people come from all over the world to view the birthplace

1222
02:16:07,360 --> 02:16:14,880
of the man considered to be the greatest literary mind of all time. In Stratford they hold a strong

1223
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:22,400
view against the suggestion that Shakespeare was anyone but himself. It's a conspiracy theory and

1224
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:28,880
it's all aimed at toppling the greatest writer who's ever lived. There is a Shakespeareian trust

1225
02:16:28,880 --> 02:16:33,840
in England and these people who are dedicated to the cause of supporting and maintaining

1226
02:16:33,840 --> 02:16:40,320
that William Shakespeare the actor was the actual playwright. I think it's highly unlikely.

1227
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:46,640
Dr Paul Edmondson is the head of education at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford,

1228
02:16:46,720 --> 02:16:54,560
upon Avan. In the Stratford debate he is known as a Stratfordian, not just because of where he lives,

1229
02:16:54,560 --> 02:17:00,720
but because of his traditional view of Shakespeare. The Stratfordians are considered the

1230
02:17:00,720 --> 02:17:08,240
academic adversaries of Bacconians. We asked Dr Edmondson to comment on the Bacon Shakespeare theory.

1231
02:17:09,760 --> 02:17:16,080
It first occurred in 1785, a Vicar just outside Stratford, got to the age of 18 and then there's

1232
02:17:16,080 --> 02:17:20,880
some record of him burning the papers that he'd been working on. As if in his later years he just

1233
02:17:20,880 --> 02:17:27,040
kind of relounced any theory that you had about Bacon. It was taken up in 1856 by what a surprise,

1234
02:17:27,040 --> 02:17:32,320
Dealia Bacon, no descendant but she wanted to prove that Bacon wrote the play, she even went as far as

1235
02:17:32,960 --> 02:17:36,960
having her herself locked in her to any church. She dig up the grave of Shakespeare,

1236
02:17:36,960 --> 02:17:42,320
convinced that some manuscripts would have been inside the grave saying, I did not write the plays.

1237
02:17:42,640 --> 02:17:49,040
Bacon instead and she didn't get as far as digging up the corpse of Shakespeare and later she

1238
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:54,720
went mad after the publication of her book. But her book was groundbreaking, she had good support from

1239
02:17:54,720 --> 02:18:00,640
from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, she knew literary figures in the States. Mark Twain was

1240
02:18:00,640 --> 02:18:06,160
certainly convinced that the historic William Shakespeare did not write the Shakespeare plays.

1241
02:18:07,120 --> 02:18:13,280
And this is a guy, how can you deny his conclusions? He had the money to investigate it,

1242
02:18:13,280 --> 02:18:17,920
he had the time to investigate it, he's not known as a crackpot and in the other venue.

1243
02:18:19,760 --> 02:18:25,520
In 1909, Twain took up the Bacon Shakespeare controversy with his own book titled,

1244
02:18:25,520 --> 02:18:31,920
Is Shakespeare Dead, in which he questions the reputation of the Stratford actor in his lifetime.

1245
02:18:32,880 --> 02:18:40,320
He's saying that in Shakespeare's own life no one regarded him as being important or famous or

1246
02:18:40,320 --> 02:18:47,680
a brilliant playwright or anything like that. It was only at two or three generations after his death

1247
02:18:47,680 --> 02:18:54,880
that suddenly the historic William Shakespeare became a big deal. So if the, however the plays

1248
02:18:54,880 --> 02:19:00,320
enjoyed immediate success and immediate prominence, so how do you explain that? That doesn't

1249
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:05,120
simply not true. There's all sorts of evidence that he died and that he was remembered after

1250
02:19:05,120 --> 02:19:10,160
his death. First of all, there's the very significant memorial bust in Hoterinty Church,

1251
02:19:10,160 --> 02:19:14,960
which not only is an early likeness of Shakespeare to give us a sense of what the man actually looked

1252
02:19:14,960 --> 02:19:20,640
like, but is also mentioned to him as a great writer on the inscription of the monument,

1253
02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:26,240
see living art, but paid to say to to surface wit. I'm paraphrasing there, but it mentions

1254
02:19:26,320 --> 02:19:33,040
living art and looking at the page rather than the monument, which is an echo of prefigures,

1255
02:19:33,040 --> 02:19:38,640
possibly the common day traverse of Ben Johnson, Shakespeare's friend and contemporary playwright at

1256
02:19:38,640 --> 02:19:43,600
the front of the first folio. The first folio is the first time Shakespeare's works a

1257
02:19:43,600 --> 02:19:51,040
gather together after his death by his friends. That's crucial. What is equally crucial is that the

1258
02:19:51,120 --> 02:19:56,880
two tributes mentioned by Dr. Edmonson did not come about until years after Shakespeare's death.

1259
02:19:57,760 --> 02:20:03,440
Other great writers of the time, like poet Ben Johnson, were given more immediate recognition

1260
02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:10,160
within months of their passing. Just as importantly, the great folio assembled by Shakespeare's

1261
02:20:10,160 --> 02:20:15,840
friends seven years after his death contains what many believed to be some important clues.

1262
02:20:16,720 --> 02:20:24,640
19th century author WFC Wixton referred to William Shakespeare as Phantom Captain Shakespeare,

1263
02:20:24,640 --> 02:20:30,480
the Rose-Akruition Mask. This may have been partly due to the world famous

1264
02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:36,640
Rochow portrait that appears on the front of the original great folio of 1623.

1265
02:20:38,960 --> 02:20:45,520
Note the presence of a line extending from the jawline of Shakespeare to the bottom of his left ear,

1266
02:20:45,520 --> 02:20:51,920
as if to suggest the face were simply a mask. If this seems far-fetched,

1267
02:20:51,920 --> 02:20:58,080
consider the dedication which appears beside it written by poet Ben Johnson, a friend of both

1268
02:20:58,080 --> 02:21:05,520
Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon. With a rather mysterious twist, Johnson concludes with the

1269
02:21:05,520 --> 02:21:09,440
words, reader, look not on his picture, but his book.

1270
02:21:09,520 --> 02:21:17,520
Why would Ben Johnson point the reader away from the face of Shakespeare and compel men to look

1271
02:21:17,520 --> 02:21:24,240
upon the book instead? A dedication that seems to parallel the monument at Holy Trinity Church.

1272
02:21:39,520 --> 02:21:46,160
By the men who knew the real William Shakespeare, that he was simply a mask or front man for Francis

1273
02:21:46,160 --> 02:21:51,360
Bacon. Bacon paid him off to go and keep his mouth shut.

1274
02:21:52,800 --> 02:21:58,400
The monument at Holy Trinity Church refers to the page that Sir Shakespeare's wit.

1275
02:21:59,200 --> 02:22:03,840
But when one looks upon the page, Benita's hand, it turns out to be blank.

1276
02:22:03,840 --> 02:22:12,160
Some Baconeyans believed this is a secret code, alerting the reader that the Stratford man

1277
02:22:12,160 --> 02:22:19,760
himself wrote nothing. The empty page has said to match the empty expression on the face of Shakespeare,

1278
02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:22,880
who Baconeyans argued could barely write his name.

1279
02:22:24,240 --> 02:22:30,960
Thanks to a big embarrassment to you could say the academic for termist at the leave of the actor

1280
02:22:31,840 --> 02:22:37,520
wrote the place. The question of Shakespeare's literacy is often mentioned because of the few

1281
02:22:37,520 --> 02:22:43,680
known signatures he left behind. As one writer puts it, the scrolling uncertain method of their

1282
02:22:43,680 --> 02:22:48,080
execution stamp Shakespeare as unfamiliar with the use of a pen.

1283
02:22:49,280 --> 02:22:54,480
Perhaps a modern equivalent to this is to say how good is your signature on your credit card.

1284
02:22:54,800 --> 02:23:02,320
How good is your signature when you sign your name in a shop or on a bank transactional or whatever?

1285
02:23:03,040 --> 02:23:07,280
There are several signatures which survive of Shakespeare. How good would you like them to be?

1286
02:23:08,160 --> 02:23:14,240
While Baconeyans argue that Shakespeare lacked experience, Edmundson points out that as the son of a

1287
02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:16,960
glovemaker, he was uniquely qualified.

1288
02:23:17,040 --> 02:23:23,680
There's lots of references to different kinds of leather, for example.

1289
02:23:25,680 --> 02:23:31,680
Fest Day is lying in act 3, scene 1 of 12th night about somebody's been someone's wit,

1290
02:23:31,680 --> 02:23:38,400
being like a Chevrolet glove. Chevrolet as the son of a glovemaker, Shakespeare, would have known,

1291
02:23:38,400 --> 02:23:43,200
is a kind of kid-skinned, which stretches and stretches and stretches when you're making the gloves.

1292
02:23:43,280 --> 02:23:49,680
It's a very soft, supplemented, or to work with. And he has it immersed in the word play of

1293
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:55,360
one of Shakespeare's clowns. Francis Bacon knew nothing about different kinds of leather. I would suggest.

1294
02:23:56,640 --> 02:24:00,960
Actually you could turn this whole thing on its head and say that Shakespeare wrote Baconeyan,

1295
02:24:01,680 --> 02:24:07,200
which is something that a lot of people don't suggest because why bother to do it that way around.

1296
02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:16,880
One of the problems is the Shakespearean trust, is that while these objections come up to William

1297
02:24:16,880 --> 02:24:22,080
Shakespeare being the author of the plays, they refuse to investigate the contrary evidence,

1298
02:24:22,080 --> 02:24:26,960
which has been put forward to them. They refuse to look into it. They refuse to look into the

1299
02:24:26,960 --> 02:24:32,800
cipher codes that Bacon incorporated in the first folios, for instance. Bacon uses this cipher

1300
02:24:32,800 --> 02:24:39,600
in the Shakespeare work and his own, and in the work under his own name. But he also,

1301
02:24:39,600 --> 02:24:44,960
doing that science is name and the name of the resurrection fraternity. This code system of writing

1302
02:24:44,960 --> 02:24:52,400
it used only is entire life. The examination of the cipher codes in Shakespeare's plays

1303
02:24:52,400 --> 02:24:59,920
have filled hundreds of books and essays over the last few centuries. But perhaps the most

1304
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:07,600
specific evidence are the presence of Baconeyan and Rosa Crucian emblems in the great folio of 1623

1305
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:14,000
and in earlier works by Shakespeare. Bacon's light a and dark a symbol appears,

1306
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:20,720
representing the two Shakespeare's of hollow and Athena. Meanwhile, this Rosa Crucian emblem,

1307
02:25:20,720 --> 02:25:24,720
featuring the god Pan, is found prominently throughout the work.

1308
02:25:25,360 --> 02:25:32,560
Other mystical headpieces with Rosa Crucian symbolism are found both in the Shakespeare folio

1309
02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:40,800
of 1623 and in works openly published by Sir Francis Bacon. The varied symbols and ciphers

1310
02:25:40,800 --> 02:25:46,400
clearly marked the presence of Bacon and his Rosa Crucian fraternity. While to what extent they

1311
02:25:46,400 --> 02:25:52,960
were involved in the writing of the plays remains a matter of debate. But perhaps the most compelling

1312
02:25:53,040 --> 02:25:58,640
evidence is that the works of Shakespeare helped to accomplish exactly what Bacon and his

1313
02:25:58,640 --> 02:26:04,320
Knights of the Helmets set out to achieve. While the numbers vary, the plays are said to have

1314
02:26:04,320 --> 02:26:10,000
developed some 20,000 words for the English language, with some words being created,

1315
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:14,480
older words being revived, and current words being used in new ways.

1316
02:26:16,400 --> 02:26:22,080
Could the actor from Stratford with a limited education have accomplished this coincidentally?

1317
02:26:23,680 --> 02:26:33,040
The Shakespeare controversy was illustrated quite clearly by Masonic author Manly P. Hall in his book,

1318
02:26:33,040 --> 02:26:39,680
the secret teachings of all ages, where he reveals the veiled purpose behind the writing of the plays.

1319
02:26:43,600 --> 02:26:49,200
He says, Sir Francis Bacon, the Rosa Crucian initiative, wrote into the Shakespearean

1320
02:26:49,200 --> 02:26:56,160
plays, the secret teachings of the fraternity of the Rosa Crosse and the true rituals of the Masonic

1321
02:26:56,160 --> 02:27:03,520
Order. The Bacon Shakespeare controversy involves the most profound aspects of science,

1322
02:27:03,520 --> 02:27:10,960
religion, and ethics. He who solves its mystery may yet find their end, the key to the supposedly

1323
02:27:10,960 --> 02:27:18,320
lost wisdom of antiquity. The lost wisdom that Hall refers to is said to have begun

1324
02:27:18,320 --> 02:27:28,240
an ancient Atlantis. Is this the real key to understanding Shakespeare?

1325
02:27:34,320 --> 02:27:40,640
Incredibly, it may be said that the plays themselves represent the whole confusion of America's

1326
02:27:40,640 --> 02:27:47,360
foundation. For while Shakespeare contains a clear representation of Christianity, with some

1327
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:54,160
1200 biblical references, along with them are plays with openly pagan and magical themes.

1328
02:27:57,680 --> 02:28:02,880
Like the symbol of the rose and cross, the plays combine the teachings of Christianity

1329
02:28:02,880 --> 02:28:08,880
with the wisdom of the mystery religion.

1330
02:28:11,600 --> 02:28:26,240
The purpose in blending religions in this way might have been to avoid the wars and conflicts

1331
02:28:26,240 --> 02:28:32,640
that have afflicted men over the centuries. Bacon who saw religious persecution in his own

1332
02:28:32,640 --> 02:28:38,640
day may have inherited this view from an earlier Masonic influence the night's Templar.

1333
02:28:39,360 --> 02:28:45,280
The whole episode of the Fall of the Night's Templar is a matter of conflicting historical

1334
02:28:45,280 --> 02:28:52,160
controversy. We do know that when they left the Holy Land, the order had increased in numbers

1335
02:28:52,160 --> 02:28:58,400
in power, and by the beginning of the 1200s they had returned to Europe, and the night's

1336
02:28:58,400 --> 02:29:03,840
Templar then became the dominant financial force in Europe. The Templar was with the people

1337
02:29:03,840 --> 02:29:09,040
that loaned the money. Well, of course the plops and people to whom the money was

1338
02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:13,360
so they owned the money. They could get rid of the debt by getting rid of the Templars and they did.

1339
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:29,360
But in addition to the issue of debt, the Templars were accused for embracing certain religious

1340
02:29:29,440 --> 02:29:32,720
doctrines they had picked up during their time in the Holy Land.

1341
02:29:35,120 --> 02:29:40,560
It is said they began to combine the teachings of Christianity with the influence of Islam and

1342
02:29:40,560 --> 02:29:45,440
Judaism, as well as spinoff cults known as the Eccidi and the Hashashim.

1343
02:29:47,520 --> 02:29:54,240
What people did not understand is they had adopted the teachings of the ancient esoteric religions.

1344
02:29:54,320 --> 02:30:01,040
And they were decreed by the Pope in 1338 in Europe in 1339 in England that the Templars should be

1345
02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:06,720
disbanded if not hunted down and killed. Many Templars were tortured under the

1346
02:30:06,720 --> 02:30:12,960
Inquisition and even burned at the stake for heresy, but some of them escaped. And a lot of them I

1347
02:30:12,960 --> 02:30:18,320
think went underground because by no means did the dragon had if you will, capture all of them.

1348
02:30:18,320 --> 02:30:22,960
A lot of them fled the sky. They had to go into hiding.

1349
02:30:23,280 --> 02:30:29,440
And one of the places they found to hide was the Masonic launch. There's no question

1350
02:30:29,440 --> 02:30:37,280
but that the Knights Templar are the real folkro of the latter development of Freemasonry.

1351
02:30:38,160 --> 02:30:42,240
And that's not saying that Freemasonry did not pre-exist the Knights Templar. It did.

1352
02:30:43,440 --> 02:30:46,880
As the builders, as guilds of builders throughout Europe.

1353
02:30:47,280 --> 02:30:54,240
It is from the influence of the Knights Templar that many believe Masonry began to develop

1354
02:30:54,240 --> 02:31:01,920
its modern philosophy. A philosophy literally carved in stone and found in one of the most

1355
02:31:01,920 --> 02:31:09,840
intriguing monuments of the Western world. Just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland, is the Roslan

1356
02:31:09,920 --> 02:31:17,040
Chapel. A place that may well provide a door to understanding Masonry. The Knights Templar

1357
02:31:17,040 --> 02:31:25,840
and the ancient plan for America. It very conclusive demonstrates a profound relationship

1358
02:31:25,840 --> 02:31:34,080
between Scotland and the Templars and the Freemasons, which is not really any big revelation.

1359
02:31:35,040 --> 02:31:40,320
But of course the whole idea is that is that the three things go together.

1360
02:31:43,600 --> 02:31:47,120
The Chapel was built in the 15th century by William St. Claire.

1361
02:31:48,960 --> 02:31:54,880
The tomb of his ancestor of the same name and who died a century earlier is found within.

1362
02:31:55,680 --> 02:32:01,680
His name as it appears, William St. Claire, Knight Templar, is believed to be a link between

1363
02:32:01,760 --> 02:32:05,840
the Templars and the Scottish Masons who built this mysterious chapel.

1364
02:32:09,200 --> 02:32:15,360
The Chapel was the foundation stone was laid in 1446 and it was finished about 1492.

1365
02:32:15,360 --> 02:32:21,120
So it took 50 odd years to build and the interesting fact is that William St. Claire, the builder,

1366
02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:27,840
was 50 when the job started and he died when it stopped. So this man was uniquely old.

1367
02:32:27,840 --> 02:32:32,400
He got in many evil times, you wouldn't expect to live perhaps more than 35 years or so.

1368
02:32:32,400 --> 02:32:37,840
But William St. Claire was into his 90s so he was a remarkable character all around.

1369
02:32:37,840 --> 02:32:40,880
Everything about him was remarkable, including the legacy he's left us.

1370
02:32:43,280 --> 02:32:50,800
The legacy of Roslan Chapel seems to be the very essence of the Templar belief and that of secret societies everywhere.

1371
02:32:52,480 --> 02:32:56,000
The removal of all boundaries concerning world religion.

1372
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:04,240
As noted before this nostic theme is well captured in Dan Brown's bestselling book The Davinci Code.

1373
02:33:04,880 --> 02:33:07,840
A work that has created worldwide controversy.

1374
02:33:08,800 --> 02:33:14,480
During our visit to Roslan Chapel, we encountered Irwin Lutzer, author of the book The Davinci

1375
02:33:14,480 --> 02:33:21,360
Disception. Of course as we know Roslan Chapel has become famous because of the Davinci Code

1376
02:33:21,360 --> 02:33:27,040
and you have people coming from all over the world staring at its ceilings trying to crack its codes.

1377
02:33:27,920 --> 02:33:33,760
As we walk through it, it's very probable that the mason's who built it had a feel day.

1378
02:33:34,640 --> 02:33:40,320
They decided that they were going to combine all kinds of the mythological elements along with a Bible.

1379
02:33:40,880 --> 02:33:47,440
So you have a Masonic elements in the chapel. You have some pagan elements. You have Christian elements.

1380
02:33:47,440 --> 02:33:49,120
And they're all thrown together.

1381
02:33:49,120 --> 02:33:53,120
Roslan Chapel is probably one of the most extraordinary buildings in the world.

1382
02:33:53,280 --> 02:34:00,160
It is like a Disney land of masonry and rose accrucianism.

1383
02:34:00,160 --> 02:34:06,160
I think the chapel is an enigma. It satisfies the needs of a great number of people who come to Roslan

1384
02:34:06,160 --> 02:34:12,640
for a whole raft of reasons. If you're a night-templer or a free mason, if you are an American

1385
02:34:12,640 --> 02:34:17,520
looking for some links with the new world before it was discovered. If you're a sing player,

1386
02:34:18,320 --> 02:34:23,440
if you're religious or an artist or an architectural historian, an esoteric,

1387
02:34:23,440 --> 02:34:28,320
Roslan has got something for you. If you're a paganist, we have over 110 green men.

1388
02:34:28,880 --> 02:34:34,160
Most churches will have one or two green men, but we have over 100 of them.

1389
02:34:34,160 --> 02:34:41,440
The green man is a representation of an ancient fertility guard, just one of the many pagan icons in the chapel.

1390
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:46,720
And so Roslan, not only does it offer a great many things to different people,

1391
02:34:46,720 --> 02:34:52,480
but it also offers a mystery. The mystery he explains is that Roslan Chapel,

1392
02:34:52,480 --> 02:34:58,080
while designed as a Christian church, is filled with so many religious symbols a person is

1393
02:34:58,080 --> 02:35:05,600
confused about what they are compelled to worship. It's like having a VCR. You know pretty much what

1394
02:35:05,600 --> 02:35:10,400
it's meant to do, but you can't actually make it work properly. No one can follow the instructions.

1395
02:35:10,800 --> 02:35:16,320
And the chapel is like that. We know it's a church. That's fair enough. But it has so many other

1396
02:35:16,320 --> 02:35:20,880
little stories connected with it in mysteries and the carvings are not particularly clear. They can

1397
02:35:20,880 --> 02:35:25,200
be interpreted one way or another. And so for everything you see in the chapel, there's probably

1398
02:35:25,200 --> 02:35:27,600
three answers. And that I think is it's greater peel.

1399
02:35:32,240 --> 02:35:38,320
Sanctuary's after its construction, researchers continue to question the overarching message of the

1400
02:35:38,640 --> 02:35:47,520
chapel. What was the intent of his design? It may have had a point for the Mason's who made it

1401
02:35:48,240 --> 02:35:55,200
in the sense that there were various messages that were conveyed. Essentially Masonry's doctrine

1402
02:35:56,480 --> 02:36:01,680
foundationally, and they will even say this publicly, is universalism, which is the idea that

1403
02:36:01,680 --> 02:36:06,560
basically all religions are the same. It doesn't matter what religion you are as long as you're

1404
02:36:06,640 --> 02:36:13,520
sincere and devout in your beliefs, that all men, they say, may gather at the hospital,

1405
02:36:13,520 --> 02:36:20,480
all of her's of Masonry no matter what their religious belief. So in that sense, they're very much

1406
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:29,360
part of pushing toward a one-world religion. And to view, to view biblical Christianity is basically

1407
02:36:29,360 --> 02:36:37,600
the enemy. Because biblical Christianity makes unique claims about itself that none of these other

1408
02:36:37,600 --> 02:36:44,000
groups, the Rosa Crucians, the Mason's, any of these groups, will acknowledge. Some of us are convinced

1409
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:49,680
it's important that Christianity be held distinct from some of the elements that are found here

1410
02:36:49,680 --> 02:36:56,080
in Rosalind Chapel. After all, the message of Jesus Christ is very, very unique. But throughout

1411
02:36:56,160 --> 02:37:03,920
history, you've always found those who want to blend together various ideas, various organizations,

1412
02:37:03,920 --> 02:37:10,480
and various religions. And here, at the Rosalind Chapel, people can come and they can practically

1413
02:37:10,480 --> 02:37:22,080
see anything that they want. But within the monument is evidence, not only of what the Templars and

1414
02:37:22,080 --> 02:37:31,680
Mason's came to believe, but perhaps a reflection of things to come. The promise of a land where one day

1415
02:37:31,680 --> 02:37:40,160
their ancient hope might be fulfilled. For inside Rosalind Chapel, along with the haunting imagery,

1416
02:37:40,160 --> 02:37:48,480
is evidence of the new world prior to the discovery of Columbus. Well, there is this window,

1417
02:37:48,480 --> 02:37:56,480
which is decorated, the window frame is decorated with Indian corn or maize, and the chapel was built

1418
02:37:56,480 --> 02:38:05,120
in the 15th century. So it is strange that Indian corn, which wasn't ever grown here,

1419
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:14,080
is used as a motif. The chapel was finished around 1492. The same year, Columbus is thought to have

1420
02:38:14,080 --> 02:38:20,240
come to America. This would mean the carvings would have been completed beforehand. But how do the

1421
02:38:20,240 --> 02:38:26,480
maizeans who built this chapel have knowledge of Indian corn, a crop, not grown in Europe,

1422
02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:32,320
and indigenous to the new world? Who knows? There are lots of mistures about this chapel.

1423
02:38:33,680 --> 02:38:39,760
Another mystery is the presence of Aloha cactus plants, also indigenous to America,

1424
02:38:39,840 --> 02:38:45,600
and like the Indian corn carved along the arches of the chapel. But even with these,

1425
02:38:45,600 --> 02:38:53,120
academics have been skeptical. Yet a third carving, a trefoil plant, or type of clover,

1426
02:38:53,120 --> 02:38:59,120
is said by Rosalind Chapel director Stuart Beady to have convinced one skeptic in particular.

1427
02:39:01,040 --> 02:39:05,920
The trefoil plant is quite interesting. Rosalind Chapel does have carvings of plants

1428
02:39:05,920 --> 02:39:12,960
that we believe came from the new world before Columbus discovered America. We've had these

1429
02:39:12,960 --> 02:39:19,040
plants investigated, and a botanist from the university had a good look at them. He wasn't particularly

1430
02:39:20,240 --> 02:39:25,520
convinced as academics need to be. He wasn't 100% sure that these plants were, in fact,

1431
02:39:25,520 --> 02:39:31,040
Aloha cactus and sweet corn. And I think his logic was that the people who went to the new

1432
02:39:31,040 --> 02:39:36,480
world and recorded these images on parchment brought those images back, they would have been translated

1433
02:39:36,480 --> 02:39:41,920
to wood, and then subsequently translated to stone. And it's that process which removes them from

1434
02:39:41,920 --> 02:39:47,360
the original two or three times, which means that there are discrepancies that can build in. And so

1435
02:39:47,360 --> 02:39:55,680
being an academic, he was uncomfortable with these images. And when looking around the chapel,

1436
02:39:55,760 --> 02:40:01,520
he suddenly is eyes lit up, but he came and got me and he said, whilst I was fairly unsure

1437
02:40:01,520 --> 02:40:06,960
about the sweet corn and Aloha cactus as being honestly genuine, I have found a trefoil plant

1438
02:40:06,960 --> 02:40:10,240
on what would have been the outside of the chapel at the time, but he's now the Baptist street,

1439
02:40:11,120 --> 02:40:15,920
that would only have been found in the new world. Therefore, I am much more comfortable to say that

1440
02:40:15,920 --> 02:40:18,480
the other plants are also honest and true.

1441
02:40:25,680 --> 02:40:37,120
When the Templars were arrested in Europe, many of them are said to have escaped with a great

1442
02:40:37,120 --> 02:40:45,760
fleet of ships that were never to be found. Could they have made their way to the new world?

1443
02:40:47,520 --> 02:40:54,240
If so, they could have handed down this knowledge through secret societies to men like Francis Bacon

1444
02:40:55,040 --> 02:41:03,120
and before him, Christopher Columbus. Some people believe that Columbus didn't just accidentally

1445
02:41:03,120 --> 02:41:10,640
stumble onto America, that some secret society which he had access to had knowledge of the existence

1446
02:41:10,640 --> 02:41:17,600
of the continent of both North and South America, was Christopher Columbus a member of a secret order.

1447
02:41:18,400 --> 02:41:23,280
Some researchers point to this painting that depicts Columbus with his left hand in a

1448
02:41:23,280 --> 02:41:30,160
covalistic gesture denoting the left hand path of the initiate, meaning the path of darkness

1449
02:41:30,160 --> 02:41:38,080
or secrecy. In addition, the ships of Columbus sailed to the new world adorant with red crosses

1450
02:41:38,080 --> 02:41:47,680
on a white background, the symbol of the night's Templar. Columbus's wife was the daughter of a

1451
02:41:47,680 --> 02:41:54,320
famous night's Templar line that passed along what are called portal lands and cartographs

1452
02:41:54,320 --> 02:41:59,680
that Columbus had direct access to and we know that he robbed the Portuguese and brought all of those

1453
02:42:00,560 --> 02:42:08,720
portal lands to Isabella and Ferdinand. What I'm suggesting is that there are people new

1454
02:42:09,520 --> 02:42:15,040
about this new Atlantis. They knew at the time of Columbus and before the time of Columbus.

1455
02:42:16,000 --> 02:42:22,240
But did the secret societies involved view the new world as Atlantis of old?

1456
02:42:23,600 --> 02:42:31,280
And if so, from where did they develop this idea? Was it only from Plato's account?

1457
02:42:33,520 --> 02:42:38,160
Or from a belief, more deeply rooted in America's secret history?

1458
02:42:38,960 --> 02:42:49,840
In his groundbreaking book, America BC, Harvard Professor Barry Fell reveals the presence of ancient

1459
02:42:49,840 --> 02:42:59,120
Europeans in New England and the American Midwest as far back as 800 BC. The author uncover's evidence

1460
02:42:59,120 --> 02:43:05,760
of ancient calts and druids, with travelers from Spain, Libya, Carthage, Rome and Egypt,

1461
02:43:06,080 --> 02:43:12,080
all of whom came to the new world centuries prior to its so-called discovery by Columbus.

1462
02:43:14,560 --> 02:43:21,920
His research exposes that the all-seeing eye was present in places like Vermont and New Hampshire

1463
02:43:21,920 --> 02:43:30,000
long before the new order of the ages was declared. Does this stand as proof that America was indeed

1464
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:36,480
known by the ancients and that its destiny has been a plan of secret societies from long ago?

1465
02:43:41,360 --> 02:43:46,720
So Francis Bacon believed it was his mission to reform the world in preparation for building

1466
02:43:46,720 --> 02:43:53,120
paradise on Earth, to lead mankind into a new age. And Bacon himself, called,

1467
02:43:53,120 --> 02:43:58,160
called himself the Harold of the New Age, which is the title of Elijah. An in-traditional

1468
02:43:58,160 --> 02:44:03,760
Elijah is said to come again in the game to prepare people for the coming of the missile coming

1469
02:44:03,760 --> 02:44:12,000
of the Christ, which has many different interpretations. As shown before, the Masonic Christ is perceived

1470
02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:22,240
as the hypotenuse in the 47th proposition of Euclid. This rare Pythagorean symbol is found among

1471
02:44:22,320 --> 02:44:27,840
the Masonic Regalia of the fourth Earl of Roslan, whose family owns the Roslan Chapel.

1472
02:44:29,040 --> 02:44:34,560
Oddly enough, this same emblem forms the heart of the design for Washington DC,

1473
02:44:34,560 --> 02:44:42,800
known as the Lion Fonds Triangle. Masonic author David Ovesen claims that the entire city of Washington

1474
02:44:42,800 --> 02:44:49,840
is based around this Pythagorean theorem. If so, America's capital might stand as the ultimate

1475
02:44:49,920 --> 02:44:56,880
dedication to Bacon's great plan, a city designed symbolically to represent the Masonic Christ

1476
02:44:56,880 --> 02:45:05,360
that Bacon came to Harold. If these things are so, what can this mean for the secret destiny of

1477
02:45:05,360 --> 02:45:08,400
America?
