-Caveat Lector-
Albert Pike was certainly a genius, far in excess of the simple-minded scrawler of this nonsensical, demonising tripe below.
 
Lucifer is a myth notoriously promulgated by what became the State sponsored religion of much of pre and post Medieval Europe, namely Roman Catholicism. The spread of the Lucifer myth has its seminal inspiration in the Catholic adopted "saint" Jerome.
 
The word lucifer is found translated as such but once in the bible OT, in Isaiah Chapter 14 and is contextually used as a euphemism in a prophetic dirge against the "King of Babylon" whose imminent fall is metaphorically likened to the "day star" which was also a term for the planet Venus, falling from its place in the sky.
 
The term has no other meaning in the text than just a plain euphemism of the brightness and splendour of the then reigning, and now long-dead monarch of Babylon, who was due for a fall.
 
The ignorant and uninformed among the religious are probably not even aware that the term lucifer, bright shining one, is in fact also applied as a euphemism for Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
 
In the New Testament, in 2 Peter 1:19; Latin Vulgate, "et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem cui bene facitis adtendentes quasi lucernae
lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies inlucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris," is traditionally understood by Christians as a reference to Jesus Christ.

The King James Bible, renders it as follows:  "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: " 2 Peter 1:19 KJV.
 
So there you have it, Jesus is lucifer!
 
Religious bigots invariably demonise that which they fear or have been brainwashed to dread. In this respect, bible-idolaters should be aware that their own messiah, whom they supposedly worship, was also demonised by the religious politicos of the day.
 
According to the Gospels; certain of the dogmatic, fanatical religionists demonised Jesus Christ by claiming he was demon possessed, "There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him"?
 
This is why in part, Albert Pike, a man of great intellect, who was not prepared to be held down by self-righteous religious dogmatists in his pursuit of truth and knowledge, is not infrequently smeared by sanctimonious religious muckrakers.
 
The mind-numbing idiocy of this screed is further perpetuated by the fantasy that some all-powerful cave troll, "the Devil" somehow prophetically engineered three world wars through a handful of alleged agents.
 
Apparently the god of this writer-fundi-believer, allegedly omnipotent (some bearded sky fairy) and his horde of millions of Christian minions were utterly powerless to prevent the prophetic calumnies of the horned-one and a just few of his wicked schemers!
 
One of the reprehensible behaviours of these self-anointed Christians, these liars and demonisers, is to make quotes out of their context. This is particularly so and obvious if one actually bothers to check this quote, designed to demonise Pike:
"The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god... Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light...Doubt it not!"
These quotes, crudely made to appear as if in context and within a particular closely knit set of paragraphs when examined, are in fact lifted out of context from chapter 3 and chapter 13 of Pikes Morals and Dogma and out of context!
 
That is; an entire ten chapters apart and completely unrelated, but made to appear close-knit and as if Pike is some mad Satan-obsessive.
 
Pikes work is often simply asking questions and putting forward ideas in relation to the beliefs of various philosophises held by groups or individuals. He does not necessarily suggest he is an advocate of any one of them.
 
Pike in fact at some points sounds more pious than many a Christian cleric of his day - and even applies a negative connotation to the Lucifer myth; yet one he supposedly subscribed to according to the nonsense and utter crock peddled in the posted article below.
 
Writes Pike:
"Hypocrisy is the homage that vice and wrong pay to virtue and justice. It is Satan attempting to clothe himself in the angelic vesture of light. It is equally detestable in morals, politics, and religion; in the man and in the nation. To do injustice under the pretence of equity and fairness; to reprove vice in public and commit it in private; to pretend to charitable opinion and censoriously condemn; to profess the principles of Masonic beneficence, and close the ear to the wail of distress and the cry of suffering; to eulogize the intelligence of the people, and plot to deceive and betray them by means of their ignorance and simplicity; to prate of purity, and peculate; of honor, and basely abandon a sinking cause; of disinterestedness, and sell one's vote for place and power, are hypocrisies as common as they are infamous and disgraceful. To steal the livery of the Court of God to serve the Devil withal; to pretend to believe in a God of mercy and a Redeemer of love, and persecute those of a different faith; to devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; to preach continence, and wallow in lust; to inculcate humility, and in pride surpass Lucifer; to pay tithe, and omit the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith; to strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel; to make clean the outside of the cup and platter, keeping them full within of extortion and excess; to appear outwardly righteous unto men, but within be full of hypocrisy and iniquity, is indeed to be like unto whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outward, but are within full of bones of the dead and of all uncleanness." (cf Chapter III, Morals and Dogma).
Anyone even remotely familiar with Christian idealisms and the Gospels; will herein find Albert Pike teaching the very tenets of the Bible. Are we to make from this, the actual veneration of the words and idioms of Jesus Christ that Pike was a veritable proponent of Christianity. It would seem so and in fact a superior one to that of the deceptive and ill-informed Fundamentalist who scrawled the article in review.
 
Mindless, loud-mouthed, gimcrack Christians with their fictitious devil-detector in hand, are ever eager to demonise rather than check facts and substantiate allegations. One of then only need barf, "Witch" or "Demon" or "Lucifer," or some fictive euphemism thereof, and that is sufficient cause for the whole gaggle to quickly come waddling with pitch forks and kindling.
 
The crux of this article is built on deceptions; lies and shear fairytales; little but the rants of a lunatic made mad by religious bigotry and dogma who feels threatened by concepts of a world united by secular covenants which he dreads would reduce his own sectarian hates and tribal superstitions.
 
Dave.

Albert Pike & the Plan for Three World Wars

Very few outsiders know about the intimate plans of the architects of the
New World Order.  One such architect was Albert Pike, who in the 19th
Century, established a framework for bringing about the One World Order.
Based on a vision revealed to him, Albert Pike wrote out a blueprint of
events that would play themselves out in the 20th century, with even more of
these events yet to come.  It is this blueprint which we believe unseen
leaders are following today to engineer the planned Third and Final World
War.

About Albert Pike

Pike was born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, studied at Harvard, then
later served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. After the Civil
War, Pike was found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be pardoned by
fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson on April 22, 1866, who met with
him the next day at the White House. On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite
officials conferred upon Johnson the 4th - 32nd degrees, and he later went
to Boston to dedicate a Masonic Temple. The only monument to a Confederate
general in Washington, D.C. was erected in Pike's honor, and it can be found
between the Department of Labor building and the Municipal Building, between
3rd and 4th Streets, on D Street, NW.

Pike was a genius, able to read and write in 16 different languages. A 33rd
degree Mason, he was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient
Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North
American Freemasonry from 1859-1891. In 1869, he was a top leader in the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1871, he wrote the 861 page Masonic handbook
known as the Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of
Freemasonry.

Pike was said to be a Satanist, who indulged in the occult, and he
apparently possessed a bracelet which he used to summon Lucifer, with whom
he had constant communication. He was the Grand Master of a Luciferian group
known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of Wisdom), which
had been founded in Paris in 1737. Palladism had been brought to Greece from
Egypt by Pythagoras in the fifth century, and it was this cult of Satan that
was introduced to the inner circle of the Masonic lodges. It was aligned
with the Palladium of the Templars. In 1801, Issac Long, a Jew, brought a
statue of Baphomet (Satan) to Charleston, South Carolina, where he helped to
establish the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Long apparently chose
Charleston because it was geographically located on the 33rd parallel of
latitude (incidentally, so is Baghdad), and this council is considered to be
the Mother Supreme Council of all Masonic Lodges of the World.

Pike was Long's successor, and he changed the name of the Order to the New
and Reformed Palladian Rite (or Reformed Palladium). The Order contained two
degrees: 1) Adelph (or Brother), and 2) Companion of Ulysses (or Companion
of Penelope). Pike's right-hand man was Phileas Walder, from Switzerland,
who was a former Lutheran minister, a Masonic leader, occultist, and
spiritualist. Pike also worked closely with Giusseppe Mazzini of Italy
(1805-1872) who was a 33rd degree Mason, who became head of the Illuminati
in 1834, and who founded the Mafia in 1860. Together with Mazzini, Lord
Henry Palmerston of England (1784-1865, 33rd degree Mason), and Otto von
Bismarck from Germany (1815-1898, 33rd degree Mason), Albert Pike intended
to use the Palladian Rite to create a Satanic umbrella group that would tie
all Masonic groups together.

Because of Mazzini's revolutionary activities in Europe, the Illuminati had
to go underground. In addition to the Supreme Council in Charleston, South
Carolina, Pike established Supreme Councils in Rome, Italy (led by Mazzini);
London, England (led by Palmerston); and Berlin, Germany (led by Bismarck).
He set up 23 subordinate councils in strategic places throughout the world,
including five Grand Central Directories in Washington, DC (North America),
Montevideo (South America), Naples (Europe), Calcutta (Asia), and Mauritius
(Africa), which were used to gather information. All of these branches have
been the secret headquarters for the Illuminati's activities ever since.

After Mazzini's death on March 11, 1872, Pike appointed Adriano Lemmi
(1822-1896, 33rd degree Mason), a banker from Florence, Italy, to run their
subversive activities in Europe. Lemmi was a supporter of patriot and
revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, and may have been active in the Luciferian
Society founded by Pike.

Morals and Dogma

One of the major sourcebooks of Masonic doctrine is Morals and Dogma of the
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry, written in 1871 by Albert
Pike, and is considered to be the

"Mason's guide for daily living. In it Masonry is a search after Light..."

In Morals and Dogma, Pike wrote:

"Every Masonic lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are
instruction in religion... Masonry, like all religions, all the Mysteries,
Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and
Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of
its symbols to mislead...to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from
them, and to draw them away from it... The truth must be kept secret, and
the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason. every
man's conception of God must be proportioned to his mental cultivation, and
intellectual powers, and moral excellence. God is, as man conceives him, the
reflected image of man himself."

The next statement reduces the Masonic philosophy to a single premise. Pike
writes:

"The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for
Satan is not a black god... Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and
mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the
Morning! Is it he who bears the Light...Doubt it not!"

Albert Pike explained in Morals & Dogma how the true nature of Freemasonry
is kept a secret from Masons of lower degrees:

"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of
the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally
misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand
them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their
true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry... It is
well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is
contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will
labor in vain."

One World Order

In 1859, Albert Pike, who was fascinated with the idea of a one-world
government, was chosen to coordinate Illuminati activities in the United
States. He said they needed to create a political party that would keep the
world fighting, until they could bring peace. Pike said it would be done

"with tongue and pen, with all our open and secret influences, with the
purse, and if need be, with the sword..."

In a letter dated January 22, 1870, Mazzini wrote to Pike, alluding to
Pike's New and Reformed Palladian Rite:

"We must allow all of the federations to continue just as they are, with
their systems, their central authorities and diverse modes of correspondence
between high grades of the same rite, organized as they are at present, but
we must create a super rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will
call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select. With regard to our
brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledged to the strictest secrecy.
Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become
the one International Center, the more powerful because its direction will
be unknown."

Three World Wars

As do most occultists, Albert Pike had a "spirit guide," who dispensed
"Divine Wisdom" and enlightened him regarding how to achieve the New World
Order. A "spirit guide" is a "being" who meets someone who has given
themselves over to the practice of the occult; however, people who are
practitioners of the New Age Religion do not view this as a bad thing. In
fact, they would strongly argue that they are filled with happiness and joy
by interacting with their "spirit guides".

One message that Albert Pike received from his "spirit guide," and which in
reality we know to be a demonic vision, he described in a letter that he
wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined
plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the
One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events
that have already taken place. This is not because the devil has powers of
prophecy, but because his agents have undertaken to manipulate political
events to closely follow his designs. For a short time, this letter was on
display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by
William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy.

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati
to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a
fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur"
(agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be
used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and
used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the
religions."

Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England
on one side and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto
von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing
about the First World War.

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must
be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism
be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.
During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong
enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and
held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social
cataclysm."

After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin
taking over weaker governments. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between
Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed
over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war
with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences
caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists
and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way
that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of
Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more
divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete
physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion.We shall unleash the
Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social
cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the
effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody
turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against
the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of
civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose
deistic spirits will from that
  mome
nt be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without
knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through
the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally
out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general
reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and
atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events in the Middle
East show a growing unrest and instability between Jews and Arabs. This is
completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between
the two, and their allies on both sides. This Third World War is still to
come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.
