 Save for later

The X-Files beamed down to the UK 20 years ago yesterday, first screening on Sky1 on 26 January in 1994 (and coming to BBC2 nine months later). An FBI procedural about alien abduction, fringe science, paranormal activity and submerged conspiracies, it took traditionally wackadoodle subject matter and transmuted it into TV gold. Cinematic, atmospheric and compelling,The X-Files barely had time to establish itself as a cult hit before becoming a global phenomenon – and even though the series ended in 2002, its influence can still be felt today. Here are six things it gave television.

Gillian Anderson's blooming career

The X-Files could claim to be the making of Gillian Anderson, but she probably would have made it anyway. Show creator Chris Carter clearly recognised her potential, lobbying hard for the unknown 24-year-old to play Dana Scully. According to Carter, she brought "a certain need-to-prove-yourself quality to the character". Two decades on, Anderson is killing it everywhere. She's about to start filming season two of Belfast-set cop drama The Fall, memorably guest-starred as Doctor Lecter's therapist in artful slay-ride Hannibal and will also appear in new NBC political thriller Crisis in March. (As for David Duchovny ... well, some people like Californication, right?)

Jokes about filming in Canada

Though Mulder and Scully were continuously criss-crossing the US investigating chupacabras, wampyrs and sightings of little grey men, the first five seasons of The X-Files were produced and shot in Vancouver. The technical nuts-and-bolts of TV production rarely make for juicy gossip, but such was the insane appetite for information about The X-Files – and the fact that Duchovny kept making jokes about how much it rained in Canada – this far-flung production base gained an almost mythic status. It also popularised the idea that if your TV show was shooting in Vancouver, you were a little bit cheap, a public perception that continues to this day.

Fringe, and about a dozen other shows …

A stacked caseload of weird phenomena, season-long storylines, a strong female FBI agent, sexual tension between the leads – Fringe didn't shy away from the fact it was an attempt to recreate Carter's megahit for a new generation. (In a particularly dedicated tribute, it even moved production to Vancouver from season two onwards.) It wasn't the only one. In the early days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon liked to describe it as "My So-Called Life meets The X-Files", and traces of the "X factor" are detectable in almost every sci-fi show created from 1994 onward, including Warehouse 13, Supernatural, Dark Skies, The 4400, Sleepy Hollow … not to mention Chris Carter's own companion show, the doomy Millennium.

Including one very notable example

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was an early adopter and "absolute hardcore fan" of The X-Files, who met Chris Carter early in the production of season two and joined the writing staff soon after. He ended up writing 30 episodes. "It taught me how to be a producer, and it taught me how to be a showrunner," said Gilligan last year. "It taught me how to be a boss." Certainly, a glance at his pre-X-Files work – the demented Dennis Quaid movie Wilder Napalm – and what came afterwards suggests the experience helped him focus his talents. It was also where he first met Bryan Cranston, who was cast in the Gilligan-written episode Drive, playing a scumbag you couldn't help rooting for.

Mythology and biology

The X-Files popularised the idea of a TV show having a "mythology", seeding serialised storytelling in standalone episodes to make even the most dashed-off monster of the week seem somehow relevant to the bigger picture. The overarching conspiracy about an alien attempt to colonise Earth created an unprecedented demand for fans to consume X-Files episodes at home, and 20th Century Fox was more than happy to release endless VHS sets that collected multiple episodes, often in confusing configurations. At the height of X-Files mania in the late 1990s, Facebook didn't exist, so you couldn't bone up on what sort of culture a potential partner was into, but if you made it back to someone's flat and spotted one of those bulky, ugly box-sets on their shelf, it was a clue you might be simpatico. Did this VHS home invasion create a new generation of geek children raised by X-fans? It's a theory.

THE DARK HISTORY OF THE TEMPLARS CHAPTER I

THE DARK HISTORY OF THE TEMPLARS

CHAPTER I

The crusades were a barbaric attack on the Middle Eastern Muslim population, living in peace.

Although the crusaders are commonly thought to have been motivated by their deep Christian faith, crusades were actually wars inspired by avarice. At a time of utmost poverty and misery prevalent in the West, the attractions of the East-in particular, the Muslim societies' wealth and prosperity-played on the minds of Europeans, especially those in the Church.

These attractions, bolstered with Christian teachings, begot the crusaders' mindset, seemly motivated by religion but actually motivated by worldly designs. This is the reason why Christians, who had followed more or less peaceful policies in the previous 1,000 years, suddenly began to display an appetite for war-specifically, the "liberation" of the holy city of Jerusalem and Palestine as a whole.

We can retrace the beginnings of the crusades to November 1095, when Pope Urban II gathered the Council of Clermont. Three hundred members of the clergy convened under his chairmanship. The pacifist doctrines that had dominated Christendom were abandoned, laying the foundations for the conquest. At the close of the Council, Urban II announced this state of affairs in his famous speech to a congregation that comprised all social classes, demanding that Christians stop the infighting and warring among themselves. The Pope called on them-whether rich or poor, aristocrat or peasant-to unite under one banner and to free the holy land from the Muslims. To him, this was "a holy war."

Historians describe Urban II as a good orator. He intended to incite the Christians against Muslim Turks and Arabs, and succeeded by alleging that the Muslim were assaulting pilgrims and that Christianity's sacred places were being desecrated.1 Of course, none of this was true.

As historians have confirmed, the Muslims were very tolerant towards Christians and Jews, whom they permitted to pray and worship. All minorities co-existing in the Holy Land benefited equally from this atmosphere of tranquility, created by the moral code of Islam. But because means of communication at the time were terribly primitive compared to today's, medieval Europeans weren't aware of this. Owing allegiance to the Vatican in Rome and conducting services in Latin, they knew little about the Eastern Orthodox Church or the Greek-speaking Byzantium, and even less about Islam.

Since what the common people did know amounted to nothing more than hearsay, the Pope found it easy to excite their emotions. Urban II went on to proclaim as an encouragement that for those who participated in the crusade, all sins would be forgiven. The exuberant crowd was distributed fabric crosses to emblazon their garments, and they dispersed to spread the word of the "holy war."

The overwhelming response to this call made history. In a very short period of time, a massive "crusaders' army" was assembled, consisting of not only professional warriors, but also ten thousands of ordinary people.

Some historians suggest that the impoverished kings of Christendom, eager to exploit the fabled riches of the East, pressurized the Pope to call a "holy war." Others find an altogether different motive for Pope Urban II, suggesting that he wished to gain power and prestige for himself at the expense of a rival claiming to be pope. But in reality, all the various kings, princes, aristocrats and others who obliged this call did so for worldly purposes. As Donald Queller of the University of Illinois put it,

"the French knights wanted more land. Italian merchants hoped to expand trade in Middle Eastern ports. . . Large numbers of poor people joined the expeditions simply to escape the hardships of their normal lives."2

On the way, greedy hordes murdered countless Muslims and Jews in the hope of finding gold and jewels. Among crusaders, it was common practice to disembowel their victims in the hopes that they might have swallowed their gold and jewels to hide them. In the Fourth Crusade, their avarice reached the point where they looted Christian Constantinople, scratching gold leaf off the frescos in the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia.

Barbarism of the Crusaders

A 16th-century crusader

In the summer of 1096, this mob of self-appointed crusaders set off in three separate groups, each taking a different route to Constantinople, where they met up with one another. The Byzantine Emperor,Alexius I, did what he could to aid this force, comprising 4,000 mounted knights and 25,000 infantry troops.3

Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles, Count of Toulouse; Bohemond, Duke of Taranto;  Godfrey of Bouillon; Hugh, Count of Vermandois; and Robert, Duke of Normandy commanded this army. Bishop Adhemar of le Puy, the close friend of Urban II, was their spiritual leader.4

After ransacking and setting fire to many settlements and putting countless Muslims to the sword, eventually the crusaders reached Jerusalem in 1099. After a siege of approximately five weeks, the city fell. When the victors finally entered Jerusalem, according to one historian, "They killed all the Saracens and the Turks they found... whether male of female."5

Crusaders slaughtered everyone they met and looted everything they could get their hands on. They murdered indiscriminately those who had taken refuge in the mosques, whether young or old, and devastated the Muslim and Jewish holy sites and places of worship setting the city's synagogues aflame, burning alive Jews who had hidden inside. This slaughter continued until no longer could they find anyone to kill.6

One of the crusaders, Raymond of Aguiles, boasts of this incredible cruelty:

Wonderful sights were to be seen. Some of our men (and this was more merciful) cut off the heads of their enemies; others shot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into flames. Piles of heads, hands and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the Temple of Solomon, a place where religious services are normally chanted . . . in the temple and the porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins.7

In The Monks of War, researcher Desmond Seward narrates the events of these tragic days:

Jerusalem was stormed in July 1099. The rabid ferocity of its sack showed just how little the Church had succeeded in Christianizing atavistic instincts. The entire population of the Holy City was put to the sword, Jews as well as Moslems, 70,000 men, women and children perished in a holocaust, which raged for three days. In places men waded in blood up to their ankles and horsemen were splashed by it as they rode through the streets.8

According to another historical source, the number of Muslims pitilessly slaughtered was 40,000.9 Whatever the actual number of the dead, what the crusaders committed in the Holy Land has gone down in history as an example of matchless barbarism.

The first crusade ended with the fall of Jerusalem in 1099. After 460 years of Muslim rule, the Holy Land came under Christian control. The crusaders established a Latin kingdom that stretched from Palestine to Antioch and made Jerusalem its capital city.

Thereafter, the crusaders began struggling to establish themselves in the Middle East. But to sustain the state they had founded, they needed to organize themselves-and to achieve his, they established unprecedented military orders. Members of these orders had emigrated from Europe and, in Palestine, lived a monastic life of sorts. At the same time, they trained for war against the Muslims. One of these orders went down a different route, undergoing a change that would significantly alter the course of history in Europe and-eventually-the world: the Knights Templar.

Founding of the Knights Templar

14th-century drawing of the Temple of Solomon

About 20 years after the conquest of Jerusalem and the creation of a Latin Empire, the Templars first appeared on the scene of history. Otherwise known as Templars or Knights Templar, the order's full and proper name was Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonis, or "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon."

(A major part of the information we have today on the Templars was recorded by the 12th century historian Guillaume of Tyre.)

The order was founded in 1118 by nine knights: Hugues de Payens, Geoffrey de St. Omer, Rossal, Gondamer, Geoffrey Bisol, Payen de Montdidier, Archambaud de St. Agnat, Andre de Montbard, and the Hugh Conte de Champagne.

Thus was quietly born one of the most talked-about, effective and powerful organizations of Medieval Europe. These nine knights presented themselves to Baldwin II, the Emperor of Jerusalem, asking him to assign them the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the many Christian pilgrims now flocking to Jerusalem from all over Europe.

The Emperor knew Hugues de Payens, the first Grand Master of the order, well enough to grant the nine their request. Accordingly, the district where Solomon's Temple once stood (and by then, included the site of the al-Aqsa Mosque, which survives to this day), was allocated to the order of the Templars, giving the order its name.

The Temple Mount thus remained the order's headquarters for the next 70 years until, following the battle of Hattin, the great Islamic commander Saladin reconquered Jerusalem for the Muslims.

The Templars had established themselves there by choice, because the site of the Temple represented the earthly power of Prophet Solomon; and the remnants of the temple contained big secrets. Protecting the Holy Land and the Christian pilgrims was the official reason the nine founders gave for joining forces and for creating the order in the first place. But the true reason behind it all was altogether different.

The Order's Mission

At the time, there were a number of other orders of warrior monks in Jerusalem, but all acting according to their charters. Besides training as soldiers, the Knights of St. John - a large organization also known as the Knights Hospitalers - took care of the sick and the poor and were performing other good deeds in the Holy Land. The Templars, however, had taken it upon themselves to protect the lands between Haifa and Jerusalem-a physical impossibility for the nine knights to shoulder all by themselves. Even then, it was now obvious that they sought political as well as economic gains, quite aside from performing works of charity.

The famous Grand Master Albert Pike, with his book titled Morals and Dogma

In Morals And Dogma, one of Freemasonry's most popular books, Grand Master Albert Pike (1809-1891) reveals the Templars' true purpose:

In 1118, nine Knights Crusaders in the East, among whom were Geoffroi de Saint-Omer and Hughes de Payens, consecrated themselves to religion, and took an oath between the hands of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a See always secretly or openly hostile to that of Rome from the time of Photius. The avowed object of the Templars was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their secret object was the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon on the model prophesied by Ezekiel...10

The Knights Templar, he continued, were from the very beginning "devoted to . . . opposition to the tiara of Rome and the crown of its Chiefs. . ." The object of the Templars, he said, was to acquire influence and wealth, then to "intrigue and at need fight to establish the Johannite or Gnostic and Kabbalistic dogma. . ."

Adding to the information that Pike provides, the English authors of The Hiram Key, Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas - both Masons - write about the Templars' origin and purpose. According to them, the Templars discovered "a secret" in the ruins of the temple. This then changed their worldview; and from then on, they adopted un-Christian teachings. Their "protection for pilgrims" became a front behind which they hid their real intent and activities.

There is no evidence that these founding Templars ever gave protection to pilgrims, but on the other hand, we were soon to find that there is conclusive proof that they did conduct extensive excavations under the ruins of Herod's Temple [as Solomon's temple was called after Herod rebuilt it].11

The authors of The Hiram Key are not the only researchers finding evidence for this. Writes the French historian, Gaetan Delaforge:

The real task of the nine knights was to carry out research in the area, in order to obtain certain relics and manuscripts which contain the essence of the secret traditions of Judaism and ancient Egypt…12

In The Hiram Key, Knight and Lomas conclude that the Templars excavated items of such importance at the site that they adopted a wholly new world view. Many other historians draw similar conclusions. The order's founders and their successors were all of Christian upbringing, yet their philosophy of life was not a Christian one.

Some seals and maps from the era of the crusades: From left to right: A sketch showing the centers of religious importance in Jerusalem; Seal of Frederick III; another map of Jerusalem; front and back of the crusader king Baldwin's seal; front and back of the Cesaree Archbishop's seal.

At the end of the 19th century, Charles Wilson of the Royal Engineers, began conducting archeological research in Jerusalem. He concluded that the Templars had gone to Jerusalem to study the temple's ruins and, from the evidence Wilson obtained there, that the Templars had set themselves up in the vicinity of the temple to facilitate excavation and research. The tools that the Templars left behind form part of the evidence Wilson gathered, and are now in the private collection of the Scottish Robert Brydon.13

According to the authors of The Hiram Key, the Templars' search was not in vain. They made a discovery that altered their perception of and outlook on the world entirely. Despite being born and raised in a Christian society, they adopted wholly un-Christian practices. Black magic rituals and rites and sermons of perverse content were common practice. There is a general consensus among historians that these practices were derived from on the Cabala.

Cabala literally means "oral tradition." An esoteric branch of mystical Judaism, the Cabala is also a school that researches the secret, hidden and meanings of the Torah (or first five Books of Moses) and other Jewish writings. There's more to it, however. A close examination of the Cabala reveals that it actually precedes the Torah. A pagan teaching, it continued to exist after the revelation of the Torah and lived on to spread amongst the followers of Judaism. (For further reading on the subject, see Harun Yahya's Global Freemasonry, Global Publishing, 2002)

For thousands of years, the Cabala has been a resource for sorcery and practitioners of black magic and now enjoys a strong following all around the world, not only in the Jewish community. The Templars were one such group, engaged in research into the Cabala with the goal of acquiring supernatural powers. As the following chapters will examine in detail, they were keen on establishing ongoing relationships with Cabalists in Jerusalem as well as in Europe-a view widely accepted by researchers working on the subject.14

The Development of the Order

With new members joining their order, the Templars soon entered a phase of rapid growth. In 1120, Foulgues d'Angers became a Knight Templar and so did Hugo, Count of Champagne, in 1125. The enigma surrounding the order and its mystic teachings drew the attention of many European aristocrats. At the Council of Troyes in 1128, the Papacy officially recognized the order of the Templars, which further aided their growth.15

A ship carrying the symbols of the Templars

Rome's recognition of the Templars is related in the Turkish Masonic journal, Mimar Sinan:

To obtain the Papacy's approval of the order, Grand Master Hugues de Payens, accompanied by five knights, paid a visit to Pope Honorius II. The Grand Master submitted two letters-one from the patriarch of Jerusalem, the other from King Baudoin II-setting forth the order's honorable mission, its services to Christianity, and many another good deed.

On the 13th of January, 1128, the Council of Troyes convened. Present were many high-ranking officials of the Church, including the Abbot of Citeaux, Etienne Harding, and Bernard, the Abbot of Clairvaux. The Grand Master presented his case once more. It was agreed that the Church would officially recognize the order under the name of Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ. Bernard was commissioned to prepare a Rule for the Templars. So, the order was officially founded.16

In the order's development and progress, the single most important person is undoubtedly St. Bernard (1090-1153). Becoming the Abbot of Clairvaux at the tender age of 25, he had risen in the Catholic Church's hierarchy to become a respectable spokesman for the Church, influential with the Pope as well as the French King. It must be added that he was a cousin of Andre de Montbard, one of the founders of the order. The Templars' Rule was written according the principles of the Cistercian Order to which St. Bernard belonged-or short, the Templars adopted the rules and organization of this monastic order. But most of their rule never went any further than being written down and recognized: The Templars continued in their un-Christian practices that the Church had strictly forbidden.

It's entirely possible that St. Bernard was duped, and that he never knew the truth about the Templars who, taking advantage of his trustworthiness and status in the Church and throughout Christian Europe, used him for their own ends. He wrote a favorable appraisal of the order, "De Laude Novae Militae" (In Praise of the New Knighthood) following Grand Master Hugues de Payens's persistent requests for him to do so.17 Around that time, St. Bernard had become the second most influential person in Christendom, after the Pope.

The famous explorer Vasco de Gama was a Templar who set sail to discover new ocean trading routes. Above: Vasco de Gama's ship with the Templars Cross on its sails.

One source illustrates the importance of Bernard's support of the Templars:

Bernard's document, "De Laude Novae Militae", swept through Christendom like a tornado, and in no time the number of Templar recruits increased. At the same time donations, gifts and bequests, from Monarchs and Barons throughout Europe, were arriving regularly on the Templar doorstep. With a staggering rapidity, the fledgling little band of nine knights grew into what we refer to as Templar, Inc.18

The Cabala is a mystic synthesis between pagan teachings preceding the Torah and Judaism. For centuries, the Cabala has been associated with sorcery and was a source of inspiration for the Templars' perverse beliefs.

With this document, the Templars obtained unprecedented privileges not granted to other orders and-according to Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe, known for their research is this field-became the most successful military, commercial and financial organization in Medieval Europe. As their legend and renown spread from mouth to mouth, they became a multinational company with seemingly unlimited capital and financial resources and ten of thousands of trained employees:

Recruits, and offers of money and land came flowing in from far and wide. Soon, numerous presbyteries, castles, farms and churches, were built and occupied by the Templar Knights and their servants. The Templars fitted out ships, creating both a merchant and fighting navy. In time, they became the most famous warriors, travellers, bankers and financiers of their day.19

In short, the Templars were an autonomous entity answerable only to the Pope, with no obligation to pay dues to any king, ruler or diocese. Their wealth increased day by day. In the Holy Lands, the order's power was legendary and continued until the fall of Acre (1291). They controlled the shipping routes from Europe to Palestine used by pilgrims, but all these constituted just a fraction of the Templars' overall activities.

They had entered the scene as "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ," but no description could have been less accurate. Amongst their ranks were to be found the wealthiest people of Europe: leading bankers from London and Paris, among whose customers were Blanche of Castile, Alphonso de Poitiers, and Robert of Artois. The finance ministers of James I of Aragon, and Charles I of Naples and the chief advisor of Louis VII of France were all Templars.20

By the year 1147, 700 knights and 2,400 servants of the order were stationed in Jerusalem. Across the known world, 3,468 castles had become the Templars' property. They had established trading posts and routes on both land and sea, had won war booty and spoils from the wars they participated in. Among Europe's states, they were a political power to be reckoned with, often called in to arbitrate between rulers during times of conflict.

It is estimated that in the 13th century, the Templars numbered 160,000, of whom 20,000 were knights-in those times, constituting an undoubted superpower.

In The Temple and the Lodge, authors Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh document the Templars' incredibly widespread influence throughout Christian Europe. They were simply everywhere, even playing a role in the signing of England's Magna Carta. Having amassed huge wealth, they were the most powerful bankers of their time and also the largest fighting force in the West. The Templars commissioned and financed cathedrals, mediated in international transactions, and even supplied court chamberlains to the ruling houses of Europe.

Charles Wharry (Darkbird18);

Rome is still the true power and ruler of our world and Rome is the True Nazi First, Second, Third and the Forth Reigh (The NWO) which is to come.  We are under the Rome Empire which has never left! The Iron Cross is all over us because that is the symbol of Rome and Babylon, so what has been said in the Bible is all true. This Youtube will help you understand who, what and why they're in control and the coming of the NWO (Anti-Christ) 

Does The Devil really exist? 70 Present of American's seem to Think so...and If the Illuminati Really Exists, How Can I be Allowed to Know about it?

Apparently the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, yet it seems that Satan himself may not have actually managed to pull it off after all, as 70 percent of Americans still seemingly live in fear of the beast, according to a Gallup poll conducted back in 2007.

The poll also showed that the amount of people believing in Beelzebub had grown considerably since the year 2000 and although it was admittedly carried out a number of years ago now, it’s likely that belief has continued to grow, especially when considering the ongoing evil being perpetrated across the globe, alongside the increasing amounts of satanic symbolism being subconsciously placed in front of the masses.

Anyone that hasn’t been indoctrinated into the disempowering mind control trap of orthodox religion will obviously know that there is essentially no such thing as “the devil” yet that knowing, or nonbelief doesn’t necessarily grant the immunity from the influence of the delusory demon that you might expect.

While the devil may just be a metaphor for our own base urges and indiscriminate instincts that when left unchecked, may lead to “evil” being perpetrated without the need for some otherworldly bogeyman whispering in your ear, the fact that so many people do believe in the Prince of Darkness, including many of those in the positions of power, means that there is a prevalent, fear based mindset pervading society, which if you’re a functioning and contributing part of, is going to be very hard to completely evade.

For instance, you may not believe in the Devil yourself but you may be paying taxes to a clique of occult criminals who do and who are in fact using your hard earned contributions to further their believed demiurge’s twisted objectives through unnecessary war and conflict. You may not believe in the Devil yourself but you may be unwittingly exposing yourself to the creations of those who do, in the form of popular movies and music, which are largely designed to desensitise you to violence and exploitation.

A belief in the Devil allows for people to conveniently point the finger and blame things on “evil” instead of objectively looking at why that apparent evil was committed in the first place and perhaps doing something practical to prevent it from happening again.

A belief in the Devil is also a fortification of fear, which ironically, can lead to otherwise decent people committing acts of evil themselves in the very name of supposedly casting it out and this is one of the key reasons the ruling ‘elite’ want us all (whether consciously or not) either believing in, or indirectly supporting their imaginary fiend.

“The Devil” was created as a sinister control tool to manipulate the minds of the masses and this is why still to this day, we see so much satanic symbolism being incorporated into everyday life – to subconsciously reinforce the belief in the beast.

Whether the Devil exists matters not because the belief in him clearly does and that is all that’s needed for “evil” to continue being carried out, both by those who live in fear of the evil spirit and by those who worship it.

The answer then, is to do neither; to not live in fear of the Devil and accept that there is no such thing, while simultaneously remembering to not allow yourself to be involuntarily influenced, manipulated and controlled by those who sadly do.

And If the Illuminati Really Exists, How Can I be Allowed To Know About it?

“So, if the illuminati really exist, then how can I know about it?” – It’s a question that’s frequently posed by those that remain sceptical of the illuminati but it’s a good question none the less and so is worth attempting to answer… The basic assumption is that if there really was an ancient, secretive, all powerful ‘elite’ controlling society and manipulating world events from the shadows, then how come anyone can relatively easily find this out for themselves? Surely if it were the case then there would be no possible way of discovering their secretive ways and subsequently sharing that revelation with others? While initially, this seems to make perfect sense and suggest that perhaps the illuminati doesn’t actually exist after all, there are however, a number of things you must understand before coming to that conclusion.

To begin with, centuries ago it was far more simple for hidden orders such as the Bavarian Illuminati and other influential secret societies like the Freemasons to manipulate and control the people. There were far less of them for a start, they were generally less knowledgable, more impressionable and easily led by fear, for example through the belief in a vengeful God intently watching over them. Today however, things have changed considerably, people are generally more aware of the world around them and it’s a very different landscape for an ancient, secretive order to remain in control of. Technology has meant that people from across the world can now communicate with each other at the touch of a button. People can now move around the globe far more effectively than centuries ago, which means that it makes it much harder for knowledge and information to remain in the hands of the few and of course our increased scientific understanding has meant that fewer people are now controlled by irrational dogmatic fear.

Of course, you could argue that the illuminati can use things like technology against us to keep us locked into a false sense of reality and that is correct, however what’s clear is that in general, the flow of information, ideas and opinion is, currently at least, far freer than it has ever been and so what this means is that almost anyone can potentially have access and be exposed to information and opinion that was previously held only by those select few in control.

The current illuminati have had to accept that in todays world, unlike their ruling ancestors of old, there is inevitably going to be a certain amount the population that has a good idea of what’s truly going on, yet so long as this number represents only a minority, they feel that they are effectively ‘safe’. The important thing in their eyes, is to successfully keep the majority deceived and in ignorance, as that’s all they need to maintain control – not 100% of the people duped, just the vast majority.

Just because you may be familiar with ‘the illuminati’ and loosely understand what the term refers to, doesn’t mean that you pose any sort of distinct threat to the centuries old established secret society. The likelihood is that you’re not going to know all the individual members, the specific hierarchy, exactly where and when they meet and what key role each member has in implementing its agenda, and even if you did you wouldn’t have the individual means to effectively challenge it, therefore your basic awareness of ‘the illuminati’ is of little concern to them. Of course, we can connect the dots to subsequently see the bigger picture but fundamentally, it all just comes down to numbers – have they got more people deceived and manipulated than not? If yes, then that’s all that matters as this allows them to move forward with their agenda, encountering only minimal resistance from the minority.

There are number of ‘safety mechanisms’ that the illuminati have cleverly devised over time to help ensure that the majority aren’t awoken by the minority who know the truth and these primarily include subconscious pre-programming via schooling, the mainstream media and the entertainment industry, which manipulates the majority into believing certain things about ‘reality’, such as the illuminati is a fictitious concept and this is exactly why the illuminati, secretive societies, the occult and other genuine conspiracies for example are often used as an underlying theme in many movies and pop music videos – the things people don’t associate with the ‘real world’. People who then talk of such things in a sincere manner are immediately labelled as paranoid ‘nut jobs’ by the majority because their subconscious mind has been programmed indirectly by the illuminati and is now telling them that these things are merely fantasy and can’t be true.

Much of the time when people are exposed to the idea of the illuminati it comes to them through the entertainment industry. Another reason why the illuminati purposely fill music videos and blockbuster movies with occult symbolism and illuminati themes is as a subtle way of misdirecting the viewer. People then become obsessed with things like who, in the entertainment industry is ‘in’ the illuminati and completely miss the bigger picture that actually none of them are, they’re merely puppets being used by the illuminati to direct attention away from the true ‘elite’ and keep the majority misinformed and engaged in triviality.

Of course, the illuminati aren’t the nicest collection of individuals on the planet and so it should come as no surprise to learn that they actually gain a perverse sense of pleasure from knowing that a certain percentage of the people they control know it, and in their eyes at least, can do nothing about it. It’s amusing and satisfying for them to see that their elaborate control system works so well that even in the face of many people knowing the truth, control can still be retained and it is, partly at least, how they get their ‘enjoyment’ – from causing the conscious suffering of those under them.

We are now however, thankfully steadily witnessing more and more people awakening and realising how the faceless few do in fact control the many. Things like the recent ‘occupy’ movements across the world, mass protests against the corrupt financial institutions and general civil unrest all over the globe (much of which the illuminati controlled mainstream media does not cover) means that the few in control are having to be increasingly overt, as they instruct their loyal, yet completely ignorant servants from the military and the police to go out and use outright force and violence to quell any considerable uprising amongst the majority. The fact that even peaceful protest against clearly immoral, unjust and corrupt behaviour by the faceless ‘elite’ is met by force goes to show how the psychopathic few are very much in control and how they are working very hard indeed to prevent their control system from being exposed.

Sporadic displays of violence, oppression and outright rule to ensure that control of the majority is retained, is viewed as far less risky in the eyes of the illuminati, than to simply allow the minority a means to grow and potentially reach that critical point where enough people are aware of what’s happening for them to be able to effectively challenge the outdated illuminati hierarchy.

Generally, the point is that so long as the majority are being deceived and kept in ignorance – then that’s all that matters. If however, an individual for example who has gained notable influence over a large number of people begins to talk out about what is wrong with the current ‘set up’, then those behind the set up will act to quickly and effectively silence these individuals to prevent more people being awoken from the veil of illuminati illusion. It is no coincidence that anyone with great influence who has ever spoken out against the injustice in the world and subsequently attempted to change things for the better have met with an early and unnatural demise.

You, being exposed to information regarding the illuminati is of no real concern to them simply because you represent a minority and until the point where either the number of people being awoken represents the majority, or you personally gain a huge audience with whom you then share this information, you are simply not viewed as a danger. The illuminati remain content with deceiving the majority and the minority being aware of their existence is simply damage limitation and a necessary ‘evil’ required to keep control of the majority.

Charles Wharry (Darkbird18):

These two article have one think in commen, it about 'if something are someone exist"' and I really like how Illuminati Agenda have these two article on their Blog/website because it how the truth is  explored because it make you think to yourself what do they mean by "if" somethnig was to exist because there is something around us each and ever day doing wrong and making us feel unhappy and sad why is this? Negative energy is why they feed off of it like we eat steak! But with the Light there is only postive energy and they can't feed off of LOVE because all love does is give. Read these two article from Illuminati Agenda and see the light in and of the truth.
