Grugyn Silverbristle America wields today such might as the world has never before seen, together with infinite cunning and uncanny knowledge of secrets, the hidden mysteries of life itself ... such that all nations cringe beneath her mighty fist, their hatred in vain. Yet when I look into the eyes of my countrymen, I see not joy in triumph, nor pride of victory, but only hollowness ... and a quiet desperation, as though each had just figured out that the theatre was on fire, and his best chance of survival lay in keeping his mouth shut, and sneaking out the door. And so a question began to form in my mind, "Are these my countrymen?" Looking next at our women, I observe how these, too, have abandoned their men for mammon. Where, indeed, are our wives? Who, or what, has driven this wedge between us and our women? And then I took a closer look at the others -- the foreign people I see all around me, more and more every day, colored faces that murmur to one another in strange tongues -- and in their eyes I could at least discern a glimmer of understanding, that this white man had just been cut down. They were too polite, or perhaps too solemn, to answer me back what was really on their minds, "Now we are the Americans!" ... I wondered, is that how it felt, in ancient times, to die in battle by the enemy's hand? Death is a solemn moment, and there is a silent communication that passes between the living and the dead. How it came to be that our people -- sons of the Pioneers, the heirs to America -- are disfranchised from our homeland and its institutions, now vilified and pushed to the fringe, is a story worth investigating. It is nothing less than the story of the rise and fall of a great nation ... in fact, of a race that just one hundred years ago was master of the world -- and something like three-tenths of its population. Now we are barely fifteen percent of teeming billions, and our great empire -- like those of ancient Greece, Rome, the Catholic Church and Great Britain -- is left steaming ahead without us, as though we had just fallen -- or been pushed -- overboard ... It's hard to recollect whether there had even been a struggle. It's an eerie feeling, isn't it -- as if there were something that we were supposed to have done, and did not? It is only with patience and study that one can fully comprehend the awesome significance of what we have to reveal, of how our own kindness was turned against us, and used as a tool to bring about our enslavement. "Tief ist der Welt, und tiefer als ein Tag gedacht," wrote Friederich Nietzsche a century ago. "Deep is the world, and deeper than can be put into a single day's thinking." Our conscious mind can only grasp what it constructs in a single day, between waking and sleeping again. A story so vast as this -- what we have to tell -- is likewise beyond a single day's imagining. And so we shall start, not at the beginning (for that is indeed a long way back), but somewhere in the middle ... in media res. The Patriot [i.e. Nationalist] movement in America began, arguably, with the organization of the Sons of Liberty in 1765, in specific opposition to the Stamp Tax of Lord Grenville but, in broader perspective, it was an organized resistance to the colonial policies of the "British" East India Company, the Royal Society and the Church of England. In this respect, it was a populist rebellion. It was the Sons of Liberty who, in creating the American Revolution, for a brief moment held the promise of a homeland for our people. But there were deeper forces at work, that had been set in motion by Oliver Cromwell in England, a century earlier. When Charles I (a Stuart, son of James I, the VI of Scotland) had disbanded Parliament -- during a trade war with the Netherlands -- in a quarrel over excise tax and tariff policy, the English Whigs -- who included the merchant-adventurers, mercers and upstart nobility -- under the leadership of Cromwell defeated the Crown, beheaded Charles I, and drove the Stuarts into exile in Scotland and France, where they became known as the Jacobites -- the Lodge of St. Andrew's. Although the Stuarts later regained (ever so briefly) the Crown under the tenure of James II, and once again under Queen Anne (an even shorter tenure), the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which put William, Duke of Orange on the throne, demonstrated that the Banking Powers had established their control over the English Crown. Not surprisingly, the House of Orange were Dutch, and their investiture coincided with the creation of the Bank of England in 1694. Later, after Queen Anne was deposed, the Sephardic Banking Powers raised George I (the House of Hanover) to the English throne. George's father was Friederich, Count Palatine of the Rhine, who had been married to Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I. Friedrich had been deposed from Heidelberg of the Palatine by the Catholics during the Thirty Years' War; and so the House of Hanover were exiled to the Hague, where they established a famous Rosicrucian College to pass the time. Shortly after his accession to the English throne, King Grorge I of the House of Hanover warranted the Grand Lodge of St. John's (the Pretender) in 1717, which is generally given as the date of the formal creation of British Freemasonry. Meanwhile the Grand Lodge of St. Andrew's, which is of the older Knights Templar tradition, remained alive in Scotland, Ireland, France and also in the Thirteen Colonies of North America. As already mentioned, the Lodge of St. Andrew's sheltered the Jacobites. Many of the Scottish and Irish officers serving in the British forces during the Seven Years War (French & Indian of 1754) were members of the Lodge of St. Andrews, and they planted Stuart and Jacobite loyalties on North American soil. Not to say such didn't exist already, as demonstrated by the friendship between the Carolina governors and Robert Teach -- alias Blackbeard the Pirate -- who flew the Masonic Skull & Crossbones flag and named his ship the Queen Anne's Revenge. Nevertheless, this conflict between the Jacobites and the Hanoverians, or between the lodges of St. Andrew and St. John (the Pretender) -- that is to say, of the Knights Templar versus the Rosicrucians -- was to find its resolution in the next three wars to shake the world: the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and the American Civil War. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Beginning with the first reports of Freemasonry in America ... "... On 8 December 1730 Benjamin Franklin printed in his newspaper, The Pennsylvania Gazette, the first documented notice about Freemasonry in North America, Franklin's article, which consisted of a general account of Freemasonry, was prefaced by the statement that "there are several Lodges of FREE MASONS erected in this Province ..." Franklin himself became a Freemason in February 1731, and Provincial Grand Master of Pennsylvania in 1734. That same year, he ushered into print the first Freemasonic book to be published in America, an edition of Anderson's Constitutions ..." Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh The Temple and the Lodge Only two months elapsed between Benjamin Franklin's publication of this first notice and his initiation into the lodge of Freemasonry. Some say that his motive had been to threaten the Masons with exposure if they did not let him in. Soon thereafter, Franklin became the largest publisher in America, owning a chain of newspapers and printing-houses. His rise within the Brotherhood was accompanied by a generous measure of worldly success. Over the course of his long and illustrious career, Franklin was initiated into the highest covens of the Order, in Europe as well as in America. His mentors included members of the Royal Society and the notorious and sexually promiscuous "Hell-Fire" clubs in England, and also the Neuf Soeurs in France. He developed extensive contacts within both the Hanoverian and the Stewart-Jacobean branches of the Lodge, and thus Franklin's inside-knowledge became as profound as his influence. One is inclined to wonder how he ever managed to repay such a debt. In 1754, two years before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, (in America generally known as the "French and Indian War"), Benjamin Franklin had drawn up the "Albany Plan" to create a federal union of the Colonies under "one general government": "The [British] Crown was to appoint a President General to act as executive officer; "the people" or their representatives were to appoint members of a Grand Council of Delegates. This central government was to control Indian affairs, declare war and make peace, raise and equip soldiers and levy taxes." John C. Miller Origins of the American Revolution Stanford University Press How's that for a Constitution? This was the work of our great and illustrious Benjamin Franklin, whom the Pennsylvania Quakers hailed as "an American Patriot", so eager to hand us over for a farthing. At the time, the British Crown was the titular head of St John's Lodge of Freemasonry. They were the "Tories". The "Whigs" were the Lodge of St Andrew. In England, the situation is exactly reversed. The English Tories were the Lodge of St. Andrew, loyal to the Stuarts (Jacobins, from James I), while the English Whigs were the upstart Lodge of St. John (the Pretenders), who supported William, Duke of Orange, and the later Hanoverans. The discrepance will be described elsewhere. Interestingly, Thomas Paine got his start as a Franklin protege', a Quaker activist whom Franklin had found destitute in London in 1774 and immediately brought back with him to America. Co-incidentally, Paine's first published work was a forceful article against slavery and the slave trade. Following the American Revolution, Paine returned to England, where he wrote the Rights of Man in 1791. Forced to flee England as a result, Paine went to France, already in the throes of revolution, and it was here that he wrote the first part of The Age of Reason, which challenged fundamental Christian beliefs about the Old Testament. Abandoned by his Masonic friends, he was arrested by the Jocobins of the French Republic, whose cause he had formerly espoused, and he was very nearly guillotined. Upon his escape from the French Revolution, Paine returned to America, where he was universally shunned, and it was here that he died in solitude and poverty. Denied a resting-place in America, his bones were shipped back to England, but there also he was denied decent burial. His skull and right hand were last known, in 1854, to be in the possession of one Reverend R. Ainslie, a Unitarian minister. No trace now remains. "Between 1733 and 1737, the Grand Lodge of England warranted Provincial Grand Lodges in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. In Georgia, New Hampshire and other future states, there were one or more local lodges but no Provincial Grand Lodge. From Virginia, no records survive, but there are supposed to have been lodges warranted not by the Grand Lodge of England, but by the quasi-Jacobite Grand Lodge of York." "At the same time that Freemasonry -- almost entirely under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of England -- was spreading through the colonies, there occurred another development which was to have a much more profound effect on American history. Since 1732, Freemasonry had also been spreading through the British Army in the form of regimental field lodges ... The first lodge in the British Army was created in the 1st Foot, later the Royal Scots, in 1732. By 1734, there were five such regimental lodges. By 1755, there were twenty-nine ... Of particular significance is the fact that these lodges were not chartered by the Grand Lodge of England. On the contrary, they were chartered by the Irish Grand Lodge, which offered the higher degrees characteristic of Jacobite Freemasonry ... "... [in Massachusetts] Freemasonry had begun ... in 1733, when Henry Price, acting on authority from the Grand Lodge of England, became Grand Master of Massachusetts' own Provincial Grand Lodge, St John's. His deputy Grand Master, as we have seen, was Andrew Belcher, son of the provincial governor. By 1750, there were two other lodges based in Boston. Both they and their parent lodge, St John's, met at a tavern called the Bunch of Grapes, at the junction of what today are State and Kilby Streets; and British regiments with warrants from Grand Lodge also met on the premises. Subsequently, St John's was to warrant more than forty lodges under its umbrella. "... But in 1752, an 'irregular' lodge, without an official warrant, was found to be operating at another tavern, the Green Dragon -- renamed Freemasons' Hall in 1764. When the scandalised members of St John's complained, the 'irregular' lodge duly applied for a warrant of its own -- not from the Grand Lodge of England, however, but from Grand Lodge of Scotland, which offered higher degrees. The warrant was not forthcoming until 1756, [At the outbreak of the "French and Indian" War, ed.] when British troops and their regimental field lodges, chartered by both Irish and Scottish Grand Lodge, began to arrive in America. The 'irregular' lodge was then warranted under the name of St Andrew's. Soon, however, it began to warrant new lodges of its own and claimed for itself, therefore, the status of a Provincial Grand Lodge -- under the authority of Grand Lodge of Scotland. There were thus two rival Provincial Grand Lodges in Boston: St John's, under the aegis of the Grand Lodge of England, and St Andrew's, under the aegis of Grand Lodge of Scotland... "... Ignoring the strictures against it, St Andrew's continued to meet and to gain recruits -- sometimes, indeed, pilfering them from St John's. And on 28 August 1769, St Andrew's conferred, for the first time anywhere in the world, a new Freemasonic Degree -- specifically called the Knight Templar Degree ... But [this] was not to be St Andrew's sole claim to distinction. By 1773, it had assumed a position in the vanguard of what were now rapidly escalating events. At that time, its Grand Master was Joseph Warren, whom Grand Lodge of Scotland had appointed Grand Master for the whole of North America. Among the other members of the lodge were John Hancock and Paul Revere. "... Contrary to some subsequent claims and legends, the '[Boston] Tea Party' does not appear to have been planned at St Andrew's lodge. In fact, it appears to have been planned by Samuel Adams and the 'Sons of Liberty'. But there is no question that at least twelve members of the lodge were involved in the 'Party'. Not only that. Twelve other participants afterwards became members of St Andrew's. "... On 22 April [1775], the Third Provincial Congress of Massachusetts convened, with Joseph Warren, The Grand Lodge of Scotland's Grand Master for North America, as president. Warren authorised the mobilisation of 30,000 men ... on 10 May 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened -- first under the presidency of Peyton Randolph, then, when he died, under John Hancock of St Andrew's lodge -- and authorised the raising of a full-fledged army. George Washington, a prominent Freemason under the Virginia Grand Mastership of Randolph, was appointed commander-in-chief. "... On 9 November [1775], a special committee -- the Committee of Congress for Secret Correspondence -- was appointed to establish a network of contacts among 'our friends abroad'. This committee consisted of Robert Morris, John Jay, Benjamin Harrison, John Dickinson and Benjamin Franklin. It was to operate extensively through Freemasonic channels and to lead to the creation of an elaborate spy network. At the same time, and quite coincidentally, it was to overlap a British spy network which ran parallel to it and also operated through Freemasonic channels. Both networks were to be based primarily in Paris, which became the center for a vast web of espionage, intrigue and shifting allegiances. "... On 11 June 1776, Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration of independence. Of the five men on this committee, two -- Franklin and Richard Montgomery's father-in-law, Robert Livingston -- were Freemasons, and one, Roger Sherman, is believed, though not confirmed, to have been. The other two -- Thomas Jefferson and John Adams -- were not, despite subsequent claims to the contrary. The text of the declaration was composed by Jefferson. It was submitted to Congress and accepted on 4 July 1776. The nine signatories who can now be established as proven Freemasons, and the ten who were probably so, included such influential figures as Washington, Franklin and, of course, the president of the Congress, John Hancock. The army, moreover, remained almost entirely in Freemasonic hands. "Franklin, as we have seen, was a Freemason of long standing, having been initiated nearly a half century before, in 1731. In 1734 and again in 1749, he had been Grand Master of Pennsylvania. In 1756, he had been inducted into the Royal Society, still at that time strongly oriented towards Freemasonry. Between 1757 and 1762, and again between 1764 and 1775, he had spent considerable time abroad, in England and in France. In 1776, as the conflict in the colonies became a full-fledged war for independence, Franklin became, in effect, the American ambassador to France, and was to serve in this capacity until 1785. In 1778, in Paris, he was to become a member of a particularly important French lodge, Neuf Soeurs or "Nine Sisters", which was also to include such luminaries as John Paul Jones (first initiated in Scotland in 1770) and Voltaire. A year later, on 21 May 1779, Franklin became Master of Neuf Soeurs, a post to which he was re-elected in 1780. In 1782, he became a member of a more elusive and mysterious Freemasonic conclave, the Royal Lodge des Commandeurs du Temple a l'Ouest de Carcassonne ("Royal Lodge of Commanders of the Temple West of Carcassonne")." Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh The Temple and the Lodge The story that is unfolding is how the American Revolution had been co-opted by Freemasonic forces, originating from the Grand Lodge of St Andrew's, of what was later to become the Scottish Rite. I should point out that Freemasons have never been populists; to the contrary, the history of Freemasonry is a litany of the exploits of countless earls, dukes, viscounts, barons, marquises and kings. These are the same individuals who were behind the Highland Clearances and numerous other acts of enslavement and expropriation against their own people. They have never cared a jot for us commoners who, to them, are so much cannon-fodder. The Revolutionary War had been orchestrated by Freemasons acting on both the British and the American sides, and their ultimate objective had been to steer the rebellious colonists back into the "British System". Without getting lost in English history, it is necessary here to describe what we mean by the "British System". At the dawn of the seventeenth century, when we see the first English colonies being established in America, there were serious threats at home rising to challenge the British aristocracy. The Anglican Church, which had long served to control the thoughts and behavior of the commoners, was losing ground to the new protestant sects of Presbyterians, Puritans and Quakers. The Roman Catholics, particularly in the north, remained a separate and threatening political force, always open to alliance with France and the Papacy. The English civil wars of the seventeenth century were essentially religious wars under the general authorship of Oliver Cromwell, who sought to establish the supremacy of Parliament over the English Crown. On the secular front, the populist movement of the Levelers was asserting the doctrine of natural rights and natural law as superseding the Divine Right of Kings. It was against this backdrop of religious, political and social disintegration that Freemasonry began to emerge as a new tool for the control of increasingly diverse institutions. Within the sanctuary of the lodge, leaders of various factions could find the mediation to work out their differences in a way that could not have been accomplished otherwise. Further, the system of lodges provided a means of initiation whereby the "right" persons could be selected, disciplined, and informed according to their "need to know", then advanced into important institutional positions, all in the service of Freemasonry, and yet giving the outward impression that the landed gentry were actually opening their ranks to accommodate a rising middle class of commoners. Thus, even as the outward political structure appeared to become more democratic, it was in fact the lodges who were manipulating events from behind the scenes. It was this utilitarian purpose that accounts for the rapid spread of Freemasonry among the landed gentry during the period in question. The proof of who actually won the American Revolutionary War was clearly exhibited in the following ceremonies: "On 4 February 1789, Washington was elected first president of the United States and John Adams his vice-president. The inauguration was on 30 April. The oath was administered by Robert Livingston, Grand Master of New York's Grand Lodge and father-in-law of the dead General Richard Montgomery. The marshal of the day was another Freemason, General Jacob Morton. Yet another Freemason, General Morgan Lewis, was Washington's escort. The bible used for the oath was that of St John's Lodge No. 1 of New York. Washington himself at the time was Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22, Virginia. "On 18 September 1793, the cornerstone of the Capitol was officially laid. Grand Lodge of Maryland presided over the ceremony and Washington was asked to serve as Master. The affiliated lodges under Maryland's jurisdiction were in attendance, as was Washington's own lodge from Alexandria, Virginia. There was a great procession, which included a company of artillery. Then came a band, followed by Washington himself, attended by all officers and members of the lodges in full regalia. "When he reached the trench in which the south-east cornerstone was laid, Washington was presented with a silver plate commemorating the event and inscribed with the designations of the lodges in attendance. The artillery fired a volley. Washington then descended into the trench and placed the plate on the stone. Around it, he placed containers of corn, wine and oil -- standard symbolic accoutrements of Freemasonic ritual. All present joined in prayer and Masonic chanting, and the artillery fired another volley. "Washington and his entourage then moved to the east of the cornerstone, where the president, standing on a traditionally Masonic three-stepped rostrum, delivered an oration. More Masonic chanting followed, and a final volley from the artillery. "The gavel, the silver trowel, the square and the level used by Washington for the ceremony are today held by Potomac Lodge No. 5 of the District of Columbia. The apron and the sash he wore are held by his own lodge, Alexandria No. 22." Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh The Temple and the Lodge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Concurrent with all the above events, another story was unfolding. On May 1, 1776, Adam Weishaupt, an apostate Jew-turned Jesuit, founded the Bavarian Illuminati, a select circle of intellectuals and aristocrats who were allegedly being financed by wealthy Frankfurt Jews for the purpose of infiltrating and influencing the various branches of Freemasonry. It is said to be in commemoration of this event that the Great Seal of the United States bears the Freemasonic symbol of the pyramid with the all-seeing eye and the inscription: 1776: Annuit Coeptis, Novus Ordo Seclorum. ("1776: It smiles upon thy work, a New Order of the Ages.") "The Order was at first very popular, and enrolled no less than two thousand names upon its registers. ... Its lodges were to be found in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Italy." A Bavarian Illuminati Primer http://www.pacific-online.com/bc-freemasonry/Writings/Illuminati.html And, of course, in Britain and America as well ... indeed, nearly everywhere that one found a Jewish community; not to say that the members were all Jews -- as indeed they were not -- but perhaps to assure the Illuminati of the proximity of Jewish surveillance. Weishaupt's conspiracy was exposed to the Bavarian authorities by an informant, and on June 22, 1784, the Elector of Bavaria issued an edict for the suppression of the Illuminati. This has led some researchers to conclude that the Order had been broken up; that its history was therefore short-lived and meteoric, though other evidence indicates that the Illuminati merely went underground, disguised as a network of esoteric "reading societies". "However, by this time 15 Lodges of the Order of the Illuminati had been established in the 13 Colonies. This was before the Colonies were united and the Constitution adopted. In 1785 the Columbian Lodge of the Order of the Illuminati was established in New York City. Its members included Governor DeWitt Clinton, Clinton Roosevelt, and Horace Greeley. There was a Lodge in Virginia also that was identified with Thomas Jefferson ... "The two prime source books for our knowledge of Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati conspiracy are Professor John Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy, first published in 1798, and the Abbe Augustin Barruel's impressive four-volume study, Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism, published in 1799, some months after the first appearance of Robison's book. Both men -- one a Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University, the other a French clergyman -- writing in different countries and in different languages, without the one knowing the other, basically covered the same subject matter and came to the very same conclusions. Thus, we have two excellent works which tell us virtually all we need to know about the origin of history's most diabolical, long-range conspiracy." from the Introduction to John Robison's Proof of a Conspiracy As we shall describe in later chapters, the Bavarian Illuminati were merely one tip of a much larger iceburg. Baron von Knigge, who had been Weishaupt's chief organizer, was also a member of Chabrath Zerek Boqer Aur, meaning in Hebrew, "The Shining Light of the Dawn" (usually identified as Lucifer "the torch-bearer", though the planet Venus does have other symbolic meanings), a very old Jewish Freemasonic lodge based in Frankfurt, the emergent center of international Jewish investment banking, and which maintained a number of correspondent lodges throughout Europe and possibly also in America. Not the least of these was known as the "invisible college", a Kabbalist center located in London, whose members included the founders of the British Royal Society. Although few people at the time paid much attention to the warnings sent out by the Elector of Bavaria to numerous European monarchs during his prosecution of the Weishaupt lodge, the publication of Robison's Proofs and Barruel's Memoirs some fifteen years later created an international sensation. A wave of paranoia swept through Freemasonry, as evidenced by the following cryptic statement written by George Washington himself: "I have heard much of the nefarious and dangerous doctrines of the Illuminati. It was not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States." The Writings of George Washington U.S. George Washington Bicentennial Commission, 1941 But it was already too late. In 1782, just five years before the "Constitutional Convention" was called in Philadelphia, the agenda of the Illuminati had been approved and accepted by European Freemasonry at the convention in Wilhelmsbad. Like a worm, the Illuminati had burrowed deep and covered their tail, so that virtually the whole of Freemasonry -- both the Lodges of St. Andrew and of St. John (the Pretender) were soon infected. We have already seen how the Banking Powers controlled the Grand Lodge of St. John (the Pretender) through the Bank of England, the british east India Company and other minions; now we shall see how the Lodge of St. Andrew's -- and its child, the United States of America -- shall be systematically subverted by those same powers which had, over the course of the prior century, subverted the Crown of England and its child -- the Empire of Great Britain. Such mighty powers do not succumb to a single blow; and just as it took a series of wars and revolutions to secure Great Britain, the subversion of America would span a still greater length of time. The first stage of that program was to create a federal constitution that could remove the seat of government from the many to the few. Numerous researchers have suggested that the Constitution of the United States had actually been an Illuminist-initiated document; that the Constitutional Convention had been foisted on the states by the Marquis de LaFayette and his cronies: Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay and James Madison -- all of them Freemasons -- in order to establish a federal entity that would guarantee repayment of the states' war-debt to their European financiers and allies ... the Hofjuden. There is considerable evidence. The Articles of Confederation, which made no provision for a permanent federal entity other than "the United States in Congress Assembled", appear more than adequate to have meet the exigencies of the time. Further, a reading of the Federalist Papers, authored by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, reveals that the exact same arguments were being put forth then, as are being put forth today to justify the creation of a permanent and lasting one-world government. In light of this agenda, we must point out that the delegates to the "Constitutional Convention" violated their oaths of office, suspended the rules and greatly exceeded their delegated authority. They were acting as individuals, not as delegates of the sovereign states, when they closed the doors to the Convention, and proceeded in secrecy to draft their new constitution for a new form of government -- a central institution which was to be invested with overruling and potentially unlimited power. As we proceed with this investigation, we shall observe that certain irregularities had occurred, from threats of violence and retaliation to the use of outright physical force, during both the "Constitutional Convention" and the state ratifying procedures that followed, which suggest that a coup had indeed been staged, heedless over the objections of the freemen and the sovereign states of America. And, lastly, we must consider this strange piece of evidence: Jonathan Williams recorded in his Legions of Satan, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington that "A holy war will now begin in America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown." Cornwallis went on to explain what would seem to be a self contradiction: "Your churches will be used to teach the Jew's religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect." And indeed George Washington was a Mason, and he gave back through a false religion what he had won with his army.
