"The time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every movement to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money... The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier." - Thomas Jefferson

Henry Kissinger made a presentation to the Bilderbergs in Evian, France in 1984; wherein he spoke of the need for society to deal with the right wing religious extremists in order to prepare the Earth for acceptance by alien cultures. Although he spoke of the benefit of a common goal for the Nations of the Earth in the advent of the end of the Cold War, it is entirely possible these world leaders are working to a new Revolution like Jefferson was still aware was needed after the end of the American Revolutionary War. It is my sincere hope that this is the case and that they have something like 'Star Trek' in mind for us. Here is Jefferson's letter to another high Mason who helped bring the U.S. into being and who Jefferson had spent a lot of time with when he was Ambassador to France. That was a time when Jefferson received the 'Great Seal of the United States' from some unidentified party (as the story goes, it may have been connected with Napoleon's time in the Great Pyramid).

"I do not believe with the Rochefoucaults and Montaignes, that fourteen of fifteen men are rogue. I believe a great abatement from that proportion may be made in favor of general honesty. But I have always found that rogues would be uppermost, and I do not know that the proportion is to strong for the higher orders... These set out with stealing the people's good opinion, and then steal from them the right of withdrawing it by contriving laws and associations against the power of the people themselves."

Since he knew the association of his friends like Franklin, Paine, Hancock and Adams were in control; was he averse to their designs? Would he recognize any kind of government that was contemplated in the founding documents of the U.S. if he were alive today? Most people who read these documents agree that if you were to live according to their intents you would be in jail for treason or some other charges. The current leaders are no less connected and part of this same octopus that grows new heads and expands like a Medusa every few years. They deny they are interested in religion and politics yet they proudly point to the Templars who clearly were. It isn't just Masons who are part of this octopus as we have seen. In Piatigorsky's book Who's Afraid of the Freemasons from 1997 he makes a circuitous attempt to show Mason's are a kind of religion. They say that all religious denominations are represented in their organization. This is true; there are many hypocrites in religions and they will join whatever makes economic sense or fills some power need, as Jefferson has stated. Shackled at first with such ideas that more money can be had through association with this network, or MORE of prestige, or MORE of anything, many do join. Few are chosen to rise up and become better men without perspiration and perspicacity. They can say all they want about themself but what pray tell do they DO?

I believe I have already shown in other books that they are a religion in the words of Paine, MacDari and others. They are a religion that believes any good person when properly exposed to the truth (their ascending teaching) will do what they think is right. Here is one of the statements that we MUST consider! It is the words of Adam Weishaupt who founded the Illuminati in the 1700's and whose followers will play an important role in the rest of this book and your life. (Cecil Rhodes who started the Boer War and left his diamond fortune to the Round Table/Committee of 300 is just one of them.)

"By this plan, we shall direct all mankind in this manner. And, by the simplest means, we shall set in motion and in flames. The occupations must be so allotted and contrived that we may, in secret, influence all political transactions."

I will not pretend to give the final answer or try to compete with the likes of Alexis de Toqueville as I open doors to the closets of those in power and their predecessors in this book. I will simply try to make interesting possibilities worth further research become apparent. Some of these 'possibilities' will be too far out or weird to appeal to some readers, but heck what can I say? They often were weird for me too. Here is one seldom heard about a character or three that deserve looking into.

SILAS DEANE: - This is a 'fella' who arranged for all the Masonic leaders of Europe to send troops to help the American War for Independence. He worked with Beaumarchais who was a known French monarchist spy (he also wrote the Barber of Seville and other books made into operas) and arms supplier.

I suggest the arms supplier really was Pierre Dupont de Nemours' family. He finalized the armistice between Britain and the US and was the gunpowder supplier to both sides. He came to America to live near the Randolph's of Jefferson and the Hapsburgs who are Holy Roman Emperors. He founded the armaments industries referred to in Eisenhower's exit speech.

"1737-89, political leader and diplomat in the American Revolution, b. Groton, Conn. A lawyer and merchant at Wethersfield, Conn., he was elected (1772) to the state assembly and became a leader in the revolutionary cause. He was (1774-76) a delegate to the Continental Congress, which sent (1776) him as diplomatic agent to France. There Deane worked with Pierre de Beaumarchais in securing commercial and military aid for the colonies, obtaining supplies that were of material help in the Saratoga campaign (1777). He recruited a number of foreign officers, such as the Marquis de Lafayette, Casimir Pulaski, Baron von Steuben, and Johann De Kalb. Late in 1776, Congress sent Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee to join Deane. Together they arranged (1778) a commercial and military alliance with France. Deane, however, was soon recalled by Congress and was faced with accusations of profiteering made against him by Lee. Embittered, unable to clear himself, and accused as a traitor after publication of some pessimistic private letters, Deane lived the rest of his life in exile. In 1842 Congress voted $37,000 to his heirs as restitution and characterized Lee's audit of Deane's accounts 'a gross injustice.'

But we must not assume these wars are much more than an Orwellian de-population game in some Hegelian 'play both ends against the middle' gambit that ensures certain parties will finance and arm whoever gives them what they want. For example we have the Hessians who had been the only trained standing army at this juncture fighting on the side of the British monarch who also financed the other side. Those Hessians were working with or for Mayer Amschel Rothschild at the castle of William of Hesse who was a founding funding member of Weishaupt's version of the Illuminati. The Hesse-Battenberg and Hapsburgs or other Royals always had the likes of Rothschilds or De Medicis who they were involved with in secrets beyond the pale of most people's imagination.

The Hapsburgs are Merovingians too and here are some notes about the ancestry of the current heir of the Holy Roman Empire or House of Hapsburg that include the wise Quakers who located in Pennsylvania colony and no doubt kept in touch with their ancestry. Yes, the Hapsburgs were very much a part of the region where Pierre Dupont de Nemours came and founded the American armaments businesses after he arranged the end of the Revolutionary War.

"The recent marriage of Archduke Karl Thomas of Austria to Baroness Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza and the birth of their son is of some genealogical interest. Archduke Karl Thomas is, after his father (Crown Prince Otto), first in line to inherit the positions of Head of the House of Hapsburg, claimant to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and principal heir of the Holy Roman Empire.

As is increasingly the case with young titled Europeans, both Archduke Karl Thomas and Baroness Francesca have some American ancestry. Archduke Karl Thomas's American ancestry has already appeared in print [The American Genealogist, vol 29, p. 139], and will not be reprinted here.

The American ancestry of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family has been referred to, obliquely, over the years, but has never, to my knowledge, been fully explored. The following material, taken primarily from the 1914 Harlan genealogy, should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive, but as a first draft. {They also have connections that will become apparent as the reader goes through this book to Long Island and some shady goings-on there, as we see during the period of the slave trade.}
