They’re highly secretive they have knowledge they keep to themselves they operate consistently and they practice ancient mysterious rituals they are secret societies our secret societies a hotbed of evil they are certainly the subject of countless conspiracy theories they are accused of pursuing a Sinister objective of seeking to Rule the World
Perhaps as many claim they rule it already Time and again people sense perfidious conspiracies everywhere but which of their suspicions are well founded and which are based on mere fiction created by successful authors like Dan Brown good fraternities have existed for thousands of years their members are in our midst everywhere join us as we delve into the dark
Parallel world of secret societies Foreign Is a historian from gertingen in Germany he is about to embark on a search for traces of the most influential and most secretive fraternities on our planet Aman schutler from gota is investigating the background of the legendary Illuminati a mysterious secret society which originated in Germany Andreas Henson from Heidelberg wants to
Find out what influence the ancient mysterious Cults still exert today Thank you an April night on the east coast of America life for a young man is about to change radically he has been selected by its members to join a secret organization that is extremely elitist the orders initiation process is bizarre System The ritual is repeated every April and has been for the last 200 years this secret society is based in Yale the distinguished American University in upmarket New Haven Connecticut Foreign Has come to Yale where many of America’s Elite have studied how much truth is there in the rumors surrounding the mysterious student organization is virtually mated but even experts puzzle over what happens in secret here one major question is how does this fraternity manage to remain so secretive in today’s media Society especially
Where many people are so communicative it’s striking that so little is known about the order’s practices its rituals and also its membership that’s most unusual and naturally provokes questions the fraternities activities are said to be diabolical the society’s only goal it is claimed is absolute power
Every student would love to be asked to join because membership is the springboard to a career anyone who is selected receives strange instructions leave the Harkness Tower tomorrow evening at the time of greed and go along the High Street southwards you must not carry metal nor sulfur nor
Glass on your person take the right hand book in your left hand and knock three times on the holy gate remember what you have heard here but be silent for a novice things will soon change forever he will become a member of a secret society at the center of the wildest conspiracy theories My invisal is familiar with many of the myths and legends Alexander Robbins is about to reveal more to him she herself studied in Yale after graduating she made a detailed investigation of the fraternity and published a book on it it took Robin’s years to find out anything about skull and bones her research was viewed with suspicion
I talked to more than 150 members of Skull and Bones however more than twice that many yelled at me or harassed me or hung up on me because they do not and they are not supposed to talk about what goes on inside I did get threats from some members of the society
That made me both uncomfortable and also more intrigued why were they so protective of this organization the Brotherhood of death as it is known shuts itself off completely from the outside world so information can still be obtained the archives in Yale’s University Library contain documents from the early days of skull and bones
The secret society is 180 years old that much is certain it is said to have built up a key position for itself in the U.S power structure and established its members and party and Government Office in Industry and in the Secret Service up until 1970 its index of members was
Open to public inspection but since then it has been kept locked away an entire panopoly of Secrets weird customs and abstruse rituals was thought up by William Russell the student who founded the society Russell came from a wealthy family In 1832 Russell studied in Germany for a year where it said was initiated into a student fraternity of which Skull and Bones was a branch the numbers 322 are always found beneath its logo they could be a reference to one of the fraternity’s models Athenian orator
Demothenese his rhetoric is legendary the mothsanese died in the year 322 BC Alexandra Robbins knows more she has brought Marian fusel to an old forbidding building on the campus of the elite University known as the tomb this is the headquarters of Skull and Bones the interior is said to contain
Ghoulishly furnished assembly rooms the inside of the Tomb is lined with skeletons and skulls it’s almost like an obsession with death and the reason they do that is because they have this phrase in the two Memento Mori remember that you must die they like to pretend that
They are a part and above the rest of the world Skull and Bones has cultivated this self-perception right from the start its members rise to the very Pinnacles of power like George Walker Bush for example When Bush contested the presidency with Democrat John Kerry it was a battle between two bonesmen you both were members of Skull and Bones a secret society at Yale what does that tell us not much because it’s a secret you were both in Skull and Bones the secret society
It’s so secret we can’t talk about only rarely do bizarre aspects of the society become public knowledge inside the tomb members are said to have their own Standard Time which differs from hours by five minutes it’s believed that Cutlery which once belonged to Adolf Hitler is preserved here The Iron Ring of silence is ideal for Hollywood fiction departments with Matt Damon and the leading role the manifold activities of Skull and Bones were portrayed in the film The Good Shepherd it tells of rounds of confessions in the Tomb biographical details and sexual proclivities had to be shown in graphic detail It wasn’t an accident my father killed himself no matter how insignificant every detail of members confessions is recorded in Black Books they are the actual secret behind the success of the fraternity it is the fear of publication that bonds members together for the CIA skull and bones is a wonderful reservoir for suitable
Employees that at least is what is claimed very few can free themselves from this intimate embrace so with psychological dependence on the confraternity one of the secret societies fundamental principles the boundaries between sets between secret religious or secret political societies are becoming blurred Naturally by exposing personal secrets and
Personal weaknesses perhaps this Society exerts power over its members they know something it’s like secret knowledge within this group with which they could damage someone who say wanted to leave especially in anger secret societies always create a counterworld to what they regard as imperfect reality and they seek contact with power
They themselves strive to exercise it Marian fusel has come to the heart of the United States the world superpower for conspiracy theorists Washington DC is honeycombed with secret societies and it is not only bonesmen who are found in the top echelons of the U.S government their skull and bones is said to compete
With other secret societies who laid the foundation stone for the capital another fraternity is said to have infiltrated the U.S Administration in order to secretly rule the world conspiracy theorists claim that the New World Order is even immortalized on the Great Seal of the United States Bears the words novus ordo seclorum Latin for New Order of the ages Those words are also found on every one dollar bill so is this secret society so powerful that it can print the symbols of its Dominion on the most important banknote on our planet Since 1862 the design of the American currency has been in the hands of the Bureau of Engraving and printing and in all the years since then the appearance of the one dollar bill has hardly changed only the security features are regularly upgraded the United States prints 35 million banknotes every day
Five million of which are the legendary one dollar bill does a secret society really have its fingers in the currency Pie as the supporters of conspiracy theories claim Murray and fusel has come to meet his colleague Professor Robert Hieronymus an expert in symbolism in the United States Professor Hieronymus has made a close
Study of the one dollar bill which differs from every other currency in the world it is full of strange signs and symbols definitely there the Eye of Providence the symbol of absolute power 13 stars above the eagle 13 steps are said to correspond to the hierarchy of The Secret order
And last but not least a tiny animal an owl a symbol of wisdom all just pure coincidence Benjamin Franklin was a great teacher about educating people about our country and he had felt very strongly that he could teach what was important about America through its currency because
Everyone was handling it and would look at it and they knew symbols was Benjamin Franklin perhaps involved with the ominous secret society that uses the same symbols as a one dollar bill Thank you Marian fusel wants to know more does a conspiracy really exist or is it merely a product of the imagination of those who suspect a secret behind absolutely everything fusel’s research has brought him into contact with an old book in it the historian has found a familiar symbol
The owl on the American one dollar bill the owl was once revered by a particularly secret society a Sinister order known as the Illuminati written in this medieval looking font the name Illuminati is an ambigram a word that reads exactly the same upside down Things are ascribed to the Illuminati material that has been handled skillfully by successful authors like Umberto Rico and Dan Brown but who actually were the Illuminati They too had to take a vow of silence they were forbidden to speak openly about the society’s rituals and aims here too different levels of hierarchy
Exist not three as in the case of the Freemasons but as many as 13. and a neophyte has to pass through them all before he can be made privy to the greatest secrets the Brethren are encouraged to spy on and denounce one another in this way Renegades can be quickly recognized and neutralized
Allegedly structured like a cotter party the order it said focuses primarily on political Intrigue and diversion The Illuminati have long stored people’s imagination of figuring and literature the cinema and other media for many years some people even claim that the Illuminati still exist today and clandestinely control politics business and various other fields the quiet town of Ingolstadt this is where the legend of the Illuminati ruling the world originated
And the years leading up to the French Revolution there was also foment in rural Bavaria it was a time of radical change people were seeking answers to pressing social problems in Ingolstadt Adam weishab taught ecclesiastical law and practical philosophy he was the only secular Professor his colleagues were all priests
Frustrated with church dogma and spiritual stagnation weishaupt wanted to introduce change but how pets were filled with the ideas of the Enlightenment but there was also great uncertainty as to how they might be implemented within a few years an enraged mob would spill blood execute Louis XVI Adam weishaupt welcomed the first signs
Of change in France but he rejected violence what he had in mind was something different Vice hopped wanted to undermine the state from within and he sought to achieve this with the help of a secret society the first people he convinced of his idea of a perfect state were his students
His vision was of a state modeled in Athens one based on reason a concept totally in line the ideals of the Enlightenment foreign wanted to set up a secret government a monstrous idea even today Secret societies were also a Melting Pot for Hot Heads for revolutionaries for people who nurtured highly unusual ideas and who could express themselves within a fraternity without having to suffer persecution people who could also discuss and try things out perhaps on a small scale that was a major motive for
Joining a secret society in the troubled times the preceded the French Revolution secret societies also flourished in Germany and the newly founded Illuminati made full use of the situation they set up countless lodges and attracted hundreds of new members especially academics their number included Johann Wolfgang fangerta the most famous writer of his
Day philosopher godfreed Heda and influential educationalist Heinrich pestalozzi the Illuminati were well aware of the high risk of opposing absolute rulers but they shared Vice hub’s passionate rejection of throne and altar weishop was convinced of his idea above all though he was convinced of himself opinionated weishaupt was seen as narcissistic and domineering
With his fraternity he wanted nothing less than to change the world does still assisting The Supreme figure amongst the Illuminati demanded absolute loyalty from his members From their records how clandestinely the Illuminati operated in those days stored at friedenstein Palace in gota they provide valuable insights into the inner life of the order Perhaps my and fossil will discover here why the Illuminati gave themselves Greek cover names and why they introduced their own time standard Historian Hermann schutler has deciphered and studied encoded Illuminati documents a domineering character Adam weishaupt had a weakness for the ancient Athenians and their ideas he valued their Democratic principles that is why he chose the Athenian owl as the symbol of his order it stood for wisdom The Illuminati believed that they were experiencing the dawn of a new era and they wanted to participate in this positive transition in English Hub forged a plan that was simply audacious but he was successful he had tapped the pulse of the age Change in society in the church in the state can only be achieved with a longer term project thus Vice house wanted to educate people so his was an educational project right from the start but it would take time weishaupt said that 200 years could well pass before success was achieved before the enlightenment
Triumph the secret organization grew in size in its Heyday the Illuminati had around 2 000 members all of them high-ranking representatives of society Vice hopped specifically poached his men from the Freemasons despite its Rich tradition many large Brethren found their Association Dole the new secret society was more exciting and more radical yourself
The launches were run with unsparing strictness like in Skull and Bones members had to lay bare their private lives a requirement some were at odds with the Illuminati it seems were very strict and hierarchy oriented many people were put off by this for example refused to join even though
Friends of his were Illuminati so sometimes the society also had this off-putting effect on people someone with the status of a prince of poets was not going to subordinate himself to a mediocre illuminatus in a secret society too that is simply asking too much the bigger and more influential the
Organization grew the more resistance it faced the absolutist rulers hit back and those in power were helped by accident in 1785 one of the order’s couriers was taking secret papers to France when he was struck by lightning and killed on his body the police found a list of members
Only 10 years after being founded the Illuminati were banned membership now carried the death penalty Thank you fearing for his life Adam weishaupt fled from Ingolstadt to gota disguised as a Craftsman but did this really mean the end of the Illuminati if so why do people still nurture thoughts of them That’s perhaps because before he fled Vice Hub succeeded in achieving another major coup he established contact with leading figures in the United States foreign Knows of three letters written to Benjamin Franklin in them the Illuminati asked for permission to set up a colony in Elysium their code name for the United States but the old Illuminati records make no mention of what reaction the request received the letters fuel fantastic speculation time and again What if a number of Illuminati had escaped to the new world to implement their ideas there would it not then have been possible for them to influence politics in the United States and couldn’t the Illuminati then also have printed their symbols on the American one dollar banknote
Water yes no Theory seems too abstruse yeah Marion Fussell has taken another close look at the one dollar bill on which the owl is portrayed the sacred animal of the Athenians and the identification symbol of the Illuminati Printed in Roman numerals is the year 1776 the year in which the Illuminati were officially founded Eye of Providence over the pyramid is a symbol which allegedly was also used by the secret society Novus Odo secloro means the New Order of the ages in other words it clearly states the goal of the
Illuminati why the number 13 is found everywhere the secret society had 13 hierarchical levels I don’t believe the secret societies have the power nor the interest to be able to rule any country on this planet instead you have corporate Powers multi-billions trillions of dollars Within These corporate structures The Stance adopted by the U.S authorities is unambiguous conspiracy theories are all nonsense the symbols they say have a
Harmless historical background and nothing to do with the Illuminati 1776 for example was the year when the American Declaration of Independence was written but one thing is certain the Illuminati are no figment of the imagination Their founder Adam Vice Hub created the secret society to undermine the ruling class in order to seize power himself but he wasn’t alone in this there were also the rosicrucians Back then they too operated clandestinely but their meetings are said to have taken a very different pattern from those of the Illuminati the rosicrucians were said to possess all the knowledge in the world and the potential to give people salvation Jesus The healthy The history of this mysterious Society can be traced back to a legend in the book farmer fraternitatus which appeared in 1614 it is stated that the members of a secret society had discovered the intact body of its deceased founder his name Christian rosenkowitz Rosenkoits was made privy to ancient Mysteries Never existed but the character was cleverly chosen because it embodies the ideals and goals of the Rose equation order in an exemplary way for every member the figure of Christian hosenkoids is a kind of spur on the path to understanding so it was well suited to motivating people to join the rosicrucian order
In the early 17th century the rosicrucians wanted to free Society from the confines of its narrow order through diligent Bible study and Alchemy and this Epoch between medieval religiosity and Nation science Alchemy the art of making gold was very much in Vogue the 30 Years War was brewing people
Everywhere felt insecure they were questioning the Christian view of the world science offered more plausible explanations This was the perfect breeding ground for a secret society the Alchemists tried to preserve this magical world to carry it over into the new world also via secret societies they held firm to the belief that there was a secret form of knowledge of fifth state of matter a quintessence a philosopher’s
Stone all those terms date back to the time of the Alchemists in the 17th century the ideas of the Rosa Christians proved more and more people appealing not only in Germany but throughout Europe including Cambridge the center of rational science Cambridge in those days was Isaac Newton
One of the fathers of modern Natural Science but he could not resist the lure of pre-scientific alchemy Newton’s study in Trinity College Bears witness to this double life During the day do serious research but at night he turned Alchemy hoping to find the mysterious Philosopher’s Stone and make gold secretly the scientific genius was very taken by the ideas of the rosicrucians later Newton Newtons made a member of the legendary Royal Society which had many rosa Christians in its governing body A Mecca of scientific rigor today the Royal Society has its headquarters in the heart of London no one has any idea that it was Rosa Christians and Alchemists who thought of establishing such a society historian Marian fusel is looking for information on the history of the rosicrucians
He has been promised the assistance of the Royal Society Stored in a specially secured archive in the basement is a historical treasure Isaac Newton’s original manuscripts thank you This brilliant thinker saw the world we live in as a puzzle God left mankind to solve for Newton this involved not only natural phenomena and Heavenly Bodies but also ancient civilizations and
Mysterious writings simply everything in fact Newton of course we understand as being a great uh British scientist for his work on gravity and the laws of motion so we get very excited when we find new Mutant manuscripts it doesn’t tell you very much about science but it tells you
Quite a bit about Newton like the rosicrucians Newton was convinced that Divine Mysteries are inherent in nature the rosicrucians even speculated on the means by which immortality could be achieved In London Marian fossil has been allowed to see what Newton wrote at Trinity College after nights of experimenting it’s the legendary scientist’s main alchemistic work foreign Symbols signs and formula abound whether Newton himself was a member of the rosicrucians is a matter of dispute but his work shows how captivated he was by the ideas of the secret society It’s generally fascinating that someone who is seen as the epitome of the Scientific Revolution and the early Enlightenment should show as deep in interest in alchemy and occult science as Isaac Newton all in all Newton seems to have left behind more manuscripts dealing with Alchemy and the hidden Arts
So to speak than actual mathematical and physical writings the Rosa Christians still reside in Vienna today since Newton’s time the aor the Ancient Order of rosicrucians has changed today it presents itself with a new livery Elias Rubinstein is the Grand Master of the rosicrucians he cultivates the ancient traditions of the secret society
Foreign here in the temple they perform their rituals but what exactly do they engage in the battle between the church science and esotericism ended long ago so what or whom are modern day rosicrucians fighting for eign S are simple we are working for the freedom of mankind thus rosicrucian Doctrine is intended for everyone not just for some Elite Class the basic issues we work with are for the whole of mankind at the end of a long road an Insight is gained into the secret knowledge of mankind
At one time those in power also felt drawn to it at schoenborn Palace Emperor Joseph II is said to have met with the inner circle of the rosicrucians for meditation But there is also a dangerous side to the legend of Christian rosenkoits esoteric sex have abused rosicrucian ideas time and again in the 1990s members of the order of the solar Temple committed mass suicide in Canada and Switzerland over 70 people died a suicide statement said we shall return
Because the rosy cross is Immortal my infusel knows that the followers of the cult were convinced that their death merely meant transition to a better world the general public had no idea what took place within the sect which had sealed itself off from the outside world naturally the concealment and mystery
That surround many secret societies are also highly suitable for manipulating members they offer sex leaders in particular a way of securing even more power and of invagling members to do all kinds of things they might perhaps not want to in this respect secrecy is always an ambivalent issue it protects the society
Outwardly but can further abuse Within Legend has it that Christian rosenkoits drew his secret Knowledge from the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians a civilization countless secret societies refer to some secret key to knowledge lie hidden in the ancient mystery cults a thousand years ago a cult emerged
Traces of which are still visible today even in Germany the mysteries of Isis and Osiris the Nile is at the center of a saga that dates back to Egypt’s very Beginnings after a long search Isis found the body of her husband Osiris he had been drowned in the Nile by his brother and
Hacked to pieces ice has put all the body parts together again and magically breathed new life into Osiris Isis was a kind of Superwoman and super mother and precisely that is the secret behind the cult’s success from Egypt it spread throughout the Roman Empire evened a far-off Germania The Isis cult was sensuous so often women were also present in the temples this sensuousness was previously unknown to the Romans and the temple novices were ritually sprinkled with water after this purification they experienced a Mystic Journey Through the realm of the dead and to Heaven returning to Earth as Divine creatures
Rebirth was a major theme as it later was with many other secret societies the Isis cult was appealing and it became increasingly popular thank you Isis adherents established countless temples throughout the Roman Empire They survived relics that have been found provide an insight into the activities of the Isis cult the mysterious import from Egypt caused a fuhrer among the normally so prosaic Romans In Rome Maya and thistle has met his colleague Andreas Henson thank you Henson is an expert on Ancient cults very little of the once pompous Isis Temple has survived this marble foot was part of a huge statue the Egyptian goddess was also a superstar in Rome The easiest coil between the often the Ice’s cult clearly served an important need it dealt with the question of what happens to the soul after death and the best way to prepare the soul for the Hereafter people were fascinated by the rich symbolic language by symbols they didn’t really understand
And by the Exotic character of the culture in that respect the Romans were no different from people today the Isis cult established itself on all levels of society its success stemmed from the fact that women felt particularly at ease in an Isis Temple because in Isis communities men and
Women were regarded as equals quite astonishing in the male-dominated world of Rome exotic Origins complex mystically charged rituals there is no doubt that Isis the mother of all had just what it takes to be an imperial super goddess people found solace in their mystery cult they sought salvation from a
Doleful existence the hope of a blessed life after death played an important role even on entering a secret society people experienced something akin to a rebirth they became a new person they assumed new characteristics they belonged to a totally new Circle their old life was left behind thus the ritual of rebirth
As practiced in the Isis cult for example and in other Cults is a Perpetual element of religions secret societies and other associations in the end however the Isis cult could not withstand The Challenge from Christianity 354 all Pagan Cults were banned in the Roman Empire from then on Christianity was to be the sole religion for its citizens yet one cultural Legacy of Isis remains Andreas Henson has brought Marian fusel to the Church of Santa Maria so promenava which is decorated with Freemason symbols
The image of Isis holding the infant Horus lives on in pictures of the Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus the mystic ideas of Isis priests also survived the destruction of the temples the ancient mystery Cults often served as point of reference for secret societies which came later like the
Freemasons and the Illuminati who tried repeatedly to extend their own history back to ancient Traditions they clearly saw this as an important way of authenticating their own history if societies could refer to ancient models and traditions that would to a certain degree bolster the dignity and Prestige
Of their own project through to the present day golden bones Illuminati rosicrucians Freemasons Isis disciples secret societies bear many names for thousands of years they have also been a part of human civilization they operate in our midsts meeting needs which otherwise cannot be met they are surrounded by a wall of Silence
Which results in secret societies themselves being the biggest Enigma of all
