CHAPTER 8
THE “STRICT OBSERVANCE”
In the 18th century Germany became the center of European Templar Freemasonry (this had
nothing or very little in common with the original ideologies of the Knights Templar).
The
Templar degrees were introduced into the “Free Observance” system of Masonry, which
meant that members had to pledge strict obedience to those of a higher rank.
The leader,
who was called “The Unknown Superior” and carried the title “Knight of the Red Feather”,
was true to the Scottish Rite and thence to the Stuarts.
About one decade after the invitation of FREDERICK THE GREAT the “Strict Observance”
and its “Scottish Rite” was adopted by almost all the German Freemasonry.
Frederick made enormous profits from the conflicts to which the “Scottish Freemasonry” had
contributed. His goal was the expansion of Prussia and therefore he supported the
JACOBITES against the HANOVERIANS, also in 1745 during the great invasion of England.
Afterwards he allied himself with England and profited from their difficulties by lending them
German soldiers.
(Apparently he had read Niccolo Macchiavelli, too!)
This was one of the biggest swindles in the history of Europe: a small group of German
princes overthrows the English throne and puts a Hanoverian there.
Then they use their
influence to have England engaged in wars and proceed to empty the English treasury by
lending them mercenaries.
The indebtedness again helped the Jewish bankers and thus the Illuminati on their way to
take over the world.
CHAPTER 9
THE BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI OF ADAM WEISHAUPT
ADAM WEISHAUPT received his education in a Jesuit monastery and finally became a
professor of the canon. Over the years he found problems with the Catholic views and
became the personal student of the Jewish philosopher Mendelssohn who converted him to
gnosticism.
In 1770 Weishaupt was apparently contacted by the recently convened moneylenders
(Rothschild) to found, on their behalf, the “SECRET ORDER OF THE BAVARIAN
ILLUMINATI” at Ingolstadt.
A short explanation:
Weishaupt’s Bavarian Illuminati are not to be confused with the “ILLUMINATI”, the group we
have looked at so far.
The TRUE Illuminati had – as mentioned before – infiltrated the
“BROTHERHOOD OF THE SNAKE” in Mesopotamia and they never appear under their
name or personally and in public. In this book we use the name Illuminati because it has
become accepted among insiders to mean this group of people dealing in background.
Adam Weishaupt just used the same name for his order whose objectives were similar to
those of the Illuminati (perhaps to confound once more future researchers by a group thus
named that appears in public).
To avoid confusion I will call Weishaupt’s group “Bavarian
Illuminati”.
The Bavarian Illuminati were organized as circles within circles (onion-like).
When initiates
had proven their capacity for keeping secrets, they were accepted into an inner circle with
yet deeper secrets.
Only those in the innermost circle knew about the true intentions of the
Bavarian Illuminati. Members of the lower degrees were told that there were no higher
