that all will turn out satisfactory in the end. the reality that a monstrous conspiracy exists against them and against their loved ones becomes an enormous burden they simply cannot bear. cowards, it seems, die a thousand deaths. swedish researcher juri lina, whose book, architects of deception, is a revealing, fact-filled expose of the secret society of freemasonry, warns that the ideology of "illuminism" propagated by international freemasonry and other secret elite groups, is an overwhelming, hidden danger to all of us. it has already brought the most violent upheavals and revolutions and is responsible for the "moral and spiritual degeneration of the individual."25 yet astonishingly, writes lina, most men and women are hopelessly oblivious to the very forces that most affect their li

more like satan and his dark angels more corrupt and evil every day, in every way. evolution, oddly, becomes fact, except that man isn't evolving from apes, he is becoming an ape. he is transferred into base animal, devoid of god's values, without the mind of christ, but instead filled with instincts and ambitions of pride, lust, murder, and envy. as above, so below this, then, is the end-goal of illuminism: to destroy earth, debase civilization, end pure spirituality, induce chaos on earth, and bring order according to satan's illuminati script. earth is to be hell and hell on earth: as above, so below. this is the meaning of the double-headed eagle; the androgynous joining of man and woman; the mixing of the yin and yang; the checkerboard, black and white floors of the masonic lodges; th

of the jewish cabala. in her most famous book, the secret doctrine, helena blavatsky praised satan as the teacher of humanity.6 he is to be thanked, blavatsky says, for setting men on the path to divinity and liberty. it is, she emphasizes, the cabala that "unveils the secret" to what secret is she referring? listen, as blavatsky flatly states the core doctrine of the mysteries, of occultism, of illuminism: the great serpent of the garden of eden and the lord god are identical.7 ah, we have here the reality of supreme evil in this core teaching. paul knew of this mystery teaching, he wrote of the "mystery of iniquity" and said of the ancient religionists, that they "knew god, but glorified him not as god" and changed the glory of god "into the likeness of creeping things" that is, serpent

or material matter and the male generative act; the other, pointed downward, signifies female sexuality and the spiritual plane. therefore we have a masculine and a feminine triangle integrated. this indicates sexual union, the sex act, and the reconciliation of opposites, yin and yang, or god and satan. the blasphemous suggestion in the symbol becomes clear. remember: everywhere in the world of illuminism, we discover sexual connotations. theirs is a sex cult; indeed it is the world's greatest sex cult; yet, the illuminati use symbols and signs to mask their sexually perverted messages. 362 codex magica the star of david and the beast's number, 666 the supremely evil nature of the double triangle, the hexagram, solomon's seal, the magen david (shield of david, is proven by the fact that

ow and the substance are unitary. sex magic holds an important place in cabalism, and sex ritual is a popular vocation of students of cabala. margie martin, in her informed, unpublished manuscript for her upcoming book, the molten image, explains that the tarot cards of witches and occultists are of jewish origin and correspond with the 22 letters of the hebrew alphabet. finally, cabalism is pure illuminism because it teaches the secret doctrine that, ultimately, the higher level adept learns: that the holy serpent is the true god; that all the evil that a person does, through alchemy, is magically transformed into righteousness; and that, yes, lucifer is lord. satan is the true and only god. that is the essential doctrine of cabalism. magical signs of the jewish cabala 427 the star of dav

presents satan, or the goat of the sabbath (the horn) downward naturally represents the demon, that is, intellectual subversion, disorder and folly.4 in hidden secrets of the eastern star, one of the best guides ever published on the subject of the satanic star and other symbols of masonry, dr. cathy burns explains that the blazing star, or pentagram, has many meanings germane to the doctrines of illuminism and the occult.5 esoterically, the star symbolizes man as deity, as the universe embodied. it also stands for sirius, the "dog star" or planet where satan dwells. it stands for "thor" the ancient nordic god, and it stands for baal, or bel, the demonic god so often mentioned in derisive terms in the old testament. every man and woman is a star 539 this same star god was worshipped in egy

hip with the jewish warburgs and jewish schiffs in the united states. communism was jewish from the ground up. marx's view and his classic texts, the capitalists and the communist manifesto, were ideological expressions of the jewish cabala, which is also the basis for marx's theory of dialectical materialism and economic class evolution, specific throwbacks to hegelian dialectics and weishaupt's illuminism. albert pike's writings in morals and dogma are also right out of the jewish cabala aquarium. it seems that the piranhas, the killer "fish" of humanity, all swam in the same polluted pond: jewish cabalism and rabbinical magic and despotism. from lenin to putin, we have a straight-line succession of jewish cabalism under the guise of communism and now "democratic capitalism" under gorbac

re completely from the scrutiny of public view, the leaders implemented weishaupt fs original plan of grafting the illuminati onto the larger brotherhood of the freemasons. the illuminati were already utilizing the classes and grades of freemasonry, so the initiates of the illuminati would easily amalgamate with the more established society. to appear to become one with the freemasons would allow illuminism to spread more widely and rapidly, and weishaupt and knigge had great confidence that they would soon attain complete control over the blended organizations. the hierarchy within the freemasons were not long in discovering that the two interlopers had joined the fraternal brotherhood with less than honorable motives, and in 1782, a group within the masons called the strict observance de

long in discovering that the two interlopers had joined the fraternal brotherhood with less than honorable motives, and in 1782, a group within the masons called the strict observance demanded that a council be held at wilhelmsbad to examine the true beliefs of weishaupt and the illuminati. knigge fs powers of persuasion effectively blocked the attempt of the strict observance contingent to expel illuminism from their society, and he managed to enroll almost all the members of the council in the illuminati. by 1784, illuminati membership had risen to 3,000, and the secret society appeared on the verge of assuming control of the entire masonic establishment. t h e g a l e e n c y c l o p e d i a o f t h e u n u s u a l a n d u n e x p l a i n e d 18 secret societies theilluminati of history
