Quotes & References

France were particularly virulent, since these people were prosperous enough to attract plunderers, and bitterly opposed to the Roman church, which they called the Synagogue of Satan.

The desire of the Vatican mythographers was to falsely situate the seat of culture in the Middle-East and as far away from the Atlantic zone as possible. These mythographers knew full well that Ireland (Eri or Eire) was a remnant of Atlantis and that its primordial "Megalithic" inhabitants had been evacuated to the Continent en masse.

Though Catholics still worship the Goddess under some of her old pagan titles, such as Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Blessed Virgin and so on, their theologians refuse to admit that she is the old Goddess in a new disguise, and paradoxically insist on her non-divinity.

The story of the Roman Church is quite different and not a pleasant one to dwell upon. She made her advance through the medium of intrigue, war, fire and sword, persecution, torture, confiscations, and death, the exemplification of force and intolerance. By such means she gained control and increase in power and the Irish Church missionaries were gradually forced to withdraw from the continent. It was only by such forcible means that she could make gains against the Irish Church whose representatives surpassed hers in every field of peaceful endeavor...in learning, the sciences, philosophy and spiritual culture

Initiates inside and outside the Church create great works of art and architecture to help condition humanity for its future evolution.

The upper echelons of the Church hierarchy wish to keep its flock from conscious knowledge of the astral roots of their religion.

The institution of the Holy Roman Emperor, founded by Charlemagne in 800, was built on the ideal of a world leader who with the Pope's blessing held Christendom together and defended the faith. This ideal was shining less brightly by the beginning of the seventeenth century. No Holy Roman Emperor had been crowned between 1530 and Rudolf II's coronation in 1576, and many of the small kingdoms and princedoms of Germany had become Protestant, which naturally undermined any notion of a Europe united under a Roman Emperor.

The world's greatest library of occult literature is to be found in the Vatican. The Church has never believed that the occult sciences do not work. It has only sought to keep exclusive control of them.

The Church grew in power and wealth. It wanted to be the sole keeper of the keys to the Kingdom. The Church had earlier emphasized that an individual has but one life by suppressing teachings on reincarnation and had emphasized one god by suppressing knowledge of its astronomical roots. Now it emphasized the unity of the disembodied parts of the human being. In 869 at the Eighth Ecumenical Council, the Church effectively closed the door to the spirit worlds by abolishing the ancient distinction between the vegetable dimension of the soul and the animal dimension of the spirit. Soul and spirit were declared to be the same thing, and the result of this was that the spirit worlds, formerly encountered in the Mass, would come to seem an empty abstraction.

Experience of the spirit worlds was replaced by dogma to be accepted on authority.

It is too easy to see the church as the evil repressor of free thought and to romanticize outlawed groups and antinomian schools like the Neoplatonists and the Gnostics. From its early history the Church has numbered among its leaders practitioners of black magic and other initiates who have abused their supernatural powers for selfish ends. But it is equally true - and perhaps more important - to say that from the time of St Paul and St Augustine the greatest Church leaders have been initiates of the highest order who have sought to guide humanity according to the divine plan outlined in this book. They knew that it was necessary for any understanding of reincarnation to be suppressed in the West. According to the cosmic plan, the West was to be the cradle for the developing sense of the value of an individual human life.

Sometimes, too, members of a congregation will try to ban beliefs - as had the Emperor Augustus - not because they believe them to be false, but because they believe them to be true.

It has rarely been revealed that the Vatican (one of the most truly Satanic edifices in mankind’s history) has spent literally billions of dollars to give mankind a false notion of Magic and the Black Arts. Their efforts and expenditure go into the making and purveying of popular music and movies which are exploitative and gratuitous and which generate deviant messages about the nature of Satanism. The famous black and white classic horror movies (Dracula, The Mummy, The Werewolf, and Invisible Man, etc.), the “B” movies of the 50s and 60s, and the “slasher” or “occult” movies (The Exorcist, Friday 13th, Halloween, Evil Dead, Poltergeist, The Shining, etc.,) of more recent times, are perfect examples of their artifice. Along with certain popular genres of music which have occult themes and imagery (which may appear anti-Christian), these films and their creators are, in actual fact, surreptitiously funded by the Vatican (also by the Jesuits and the Illuminati) via the record companies, marketing agents, and publicity houses. There is a reason why the pop icon Madonna, for instance, has this moniker and why she constantly displays the cross or crucifix. It is why the imagery in her videos is of the type it is and why she is so personally wealthy. It has to do with whom she and her promoters serve. The same goes for the Rolling Stones (listen to Sympathy for the Devil, 200 Light Years from Home, Midnight Rambler, Paint It Black, Goat's Head Soup, Their Satanic Majesty's Request, etc.,) the Beatles, and the Grateful Dead. And these are but three examples of thousands. The public would be shocked to their core if they were to find out the facts about this particular study and about what has been infiltrated into their minds and the minds of their young.

The Vatican used "Jews" as a smokescreen for their money lending as usury (demanding in return for a loan a greater amount than borrowed) was prohibited by the early church. This way, the popes could continue to act pious and let the Jews take the rap for the loan sharking. The Rothschild is the banker of the Vatican up to present.

… there exists... another class of adepts belonging to a brotherhood also and mightier than any other they have to be ranked with the adepts of the Black Arts. These are our Roman Catholic “Fathers” and clergy... A hundred times more learned in secret symbology and the old religion than our Orientalists will ever be…There are more profoundly learned Kabalists in Rome and throughout Europe and America than is generally suspected...Thus are the “Brotherhoods” of “black” adepts more powerful and dangerous…than any host of Eastern Occultists.

— Madame Helena Blavatsky; quoted by Michael Tsarion

The Vatican is a front for the all-powerful Cult of Aton, which also funds the Illuminati and the Masonic Orders. The chief Jesuit is referred to as "The General" a term Akhenaton used for himself. The skull cap, that is also worn by Jewish rabbis, was originally worn by the sun priests of Egypt.

The supremacy which the Papacy inherited from the time of Constantine was indeed the supremacy of the Amphictyonic League of Greece. The League of Amphictyon goes back to the time of Troy. Before the time of Troy the Pelasgi of Greece were settled by the Priests of Ammon. Priests directed more then than in the time of Marquette and La Salle.

During the Middle Ages the Papacy struggled with the German Emperors to maintain world supremacy. The Germans complained of the Ultramontainism, the money that passed beyond the Alps to build the cathedrals of Rome and never to return.

The Illi theocracy went underground during the Roman ascendancy. For about three hundred years Christians were persecuted, churches were held in secrecy. But when Constantine was converted, supposedly by a miracle in which he saw a vision in the sky, the Christian Church came out of hiding and took open secular control in Rome. All the Oracles simultaneously ceased to speak: Christ's words were fulfilled. Power had shifted to the control of the Emperor. The Pope took to himself the prerogative of crowning kings. At this point Christian Scientists claim that the power of healing was lost to the Christians. As worldly power was gained, spiritual power was lost.

In the Middle Ages the church of Rome exercised the prerogative of Crowning the Kings who thus received divine right.

The Catholic Church is a Jewish, Freemasonic movement, founded in the Middle Ages in the year 325 by Constantine. It is a Jewish, Freemasonic, political movement. That's why the Pope wears the little yarmulke...yeah Cabalistic Freemasonry.

So for almost 2,000 years Rome, or the Roman Church, the Roman authority of Europe, through their ancient and fraternal houses, have controlled Europe and Europe has dominated the world.

Now, incidentally, it is interesting as to why the ancients believed that God was a father, because in the most ancient world they associated the creation of the humans, the creation on the Earth, with the Mother. It was only until the coming of the early Roman Empire that the emphasis was put on the male. As contrasted to the African, which is based on the female principle.

The Vatican is a country unto itself. A very powerful country, politically speaking. Heads of State from all over the world come to the Vatican to pay homage to the Papacy. The Papacy plays a very, very important role in international politics and it has always been able to demonstrate this immense power in world affairs.

When we remember that Abraham Lincoln was the first President to break all diplomatic ties with the Vatican, in the 1860's, we become even more aware. Diplomatic ties continued broken with the United States until the coming of President Ronald Reagan. He reestablished full diplomatic ties with the Vatican, the first President, since Lincoln, to do so. Reagan's next official act was to travel to Europe, at least three times, to meet in private with the Pope.

Christ set up a ceremony called the Eucharist with 72 disciples as a symbol for taking total control of a double Shar-twice the 3600-year orbit of Nibiru. By using Anunnaki symbols, everything he established was absorbed right into the Roman Empire, like cosmic keys into locks. Next, Anu selected the Holy Roman Catholic Church as his personal device for ruling the planet. Rome would fall eventually, but an official Church organized around Christ would prevail, since humans are most easily manipulated by means of religion. Anu never had had such a big project. The Roman Catholic Church would be the next official Anunnaki establishment. To accomplish this, all its priests would have to be celibate, based on the premise that Christ was celibate. Women would have to be disempowered, and the Eucharist would be celebrated by male priests who had never entered a woman. All knowledge of multi-lifetimes would have to be erased so that people would learn to be terrified of death, and fear of death would limit multidimensional contact. This would offer the Anunnaki total dominion of Earth and prevent multidimensional access to humans. All humans would be locked in 3D so that the Anunnaki would not get foiled the next time they orbited back into the solar system in 3600 A.D. This was a dark hour on Earth-the imposition of the Net-and its energy first came over the planet when a terrible thunderstorm wreaked havoc in Jerusalem when Christ died on the cross.

The contact who has relatives working at high levels in the Vatican told me how, during his guided tour of the place, he saw vacuum-sealed vaults under the building which housed thousands of ancient esoteric books. “It was unbelievable”, he said.

Ancient accounts of the reptilians and the origins of the white race were largely destroyed or withdrawn to secret Brotherhood libraries, not least beneath the Vatican. Christianity was used as the vehicle for eliminating information that we vitally need to know.

Prior to the Christian Era seven hundred thousand of the most valuable books, written upon parchment, papyrus, vellum, and wax, and also tablets of stone, terra cotta, and wood, were gathered from all parts of the ancient world and housed in Alexandria, in buildings specially prepared for the purpose. This magnificent repository of knowledge was destroyed by a series of three fires. The parts that escaped the conflagration lighted by Cæsar to destroy the fleet in the harbor were destroyed about A.D. 389 by the Christians in obedience to the edict of Theodosius, who had ordered the destruction of the Serapeum, a building sacred to Serapis in which the volumes were kept.

The Catholic Church has the right and duty to kill heretics because it is by fire and sword that heresy can be extirpated. . . . for the highest good of the Church is the unity of the faith, and this cannot be preserved unless heretics are put to death.

Machiavelli and Wolsey opined that both printing and Protestantism could be turned to Rome's advantage by employing movable type to produce a literature that would confuse, diminish, and ultimately marginalize the Bible. Cardinal Wolsey, who would later found Christ Church College at Oxford, characterized the project as "to put learning against learning."

Indeed, in its attempt to suppress the marital status of Jesus, the Church of Rome became so frightened of women and motherhood that a rule of celibacy was instituted for its priests - a rule which became a law in 1138 and which persists even today.

— Laurence Gardner; Genesis of the Grail Kings

After the decline of the Western Empire, the torment was continued by the emergent Church of Rome, despite appeals from the family who promoted the opposing Nazarene Church of Jesus. They constantly denounced the Roman interpretations of the Virgin Birth and Resurrection, claiming that religion was to be found in the teachings of Jesus - not in the veneration of his person. Furthermore, they pronounced the Apostolic Succession of the Bishops of Rome to be a fraud, since it was claimed to have been handed down from Peter, the first Bishop of Rome. But Peter never held such an office in Rome or anywhere else. This is confirmed in the Church's own Apostolic Constitutions, which state that the first Bishop of Rome was Britain's Prince Linus (son of Caractacus the Pendragon), who was appointed by St Paul in AD 58, during Peter's lifetime.

We are determined, like you, to take possession of the United States and rule them; but we cannot do that without acting secretly and with the utmost wisdom. If our plans are known, they will surely be defeated. What does a skillful general do when he wants to conquer a country? Does he scatter his soldiers over the farm lands, and spend their energy and power in ploughing the fields and sowing grain? No! he keeps them well united around his banners, and marches at their head, to the conquest of the strongholds, the rich and powerful cities. The farming countries then submit and become the price of his victory without moving a finger to subdue them. So it is with us. Silently and patiently, we must mass our Roman Catholics in the great cities of the United States, remembering that the vote of a poor journeyman, though he be covered with rags, has as much weight in the scale of power as the millionaire Astor, and that if we have two votes against his one, he will become as powerless as an oyster. Let us then multiply our votes;; let us call our poor but faithful Irish Catholics from every corner of the world, and gather them into the very hearts of those proud citadels which the Yankees are so rapidly building under the names of Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Cincinnati, ect. Under the shadows of those great cities, the Americans consider themselves a giant and unconquerable race. They look upon the poor Irish Catholic people with supreme contempt, as only fit to dig their canals, sweep their streets and work in their kitchens. Let no one awake those sleeping lions, today. Let up pray God that they may sleep and dream their sweet dreams, a few years more. How sad will their awakening be, when with our out-numbering votes, we will turn them for ever, from every position of honour, power and profit! What will those hypocritical and godless sons and daughters of the fanatical Pilgrim Fathers say, when not a single judge, not a single teacher, not a single policeman, will be elected if he be not a devoted Irish Roman Catholic? What will those so-called giants think of their matchless shrewdness and ability, when not a single Senator or member of congress will be chosen, if he be not submitted to our holy father the Pope! What a sad figure those Protestant Yankees will cut when we will not only elect the President, but fill and command the armies, man the navies and hold the keys of the public treasury? It will then be time for our faithful Irish people to give up their grog shops, in order to become the judges and governors of the land. Then, our poor and humble mechanics will leave their damp ditches and muddy streets, to rule the cities in all their departments, for the stately mansion of Mayor to the more humble, though not less noble position of teacher.

Then, yes! then, we will rule the United States, and lay them at the feet of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, that he may put an end to their godless system of education, and impious laws of liberty of conscience which are an insult to God and man!

— Bishops of the United States; speaking to D'Arcy McGee

Yet Christianity has been used quite brilliantly as the major vehicle for removing vital knowledge from the public domain. Whenever Christianity and other religions took control of a country or region, the ancient texts and records were removed or destroyed. This took out of circulation the very knowledge the reptilians have used and still use to manipulate an ignorant population. It was also in the name of Christianity that most of the accounts of the true history of humankind have been destroyed, along with knowledge of the influence on human affairs of extraterrestrial races, positive and negative. This allowed an alternative invented ‘history’ to be written which has delinked humanity from its origins. Controlling history is so important because if you manipulate how people see what we call the past, you will influence massively how they see the present.

— David Icke; The Biggest Secret

Of all the tyrannies that afflict mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst. Every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we live in, but this attempts a stride beyond the grave and seeks to pursue us into eternity.

— Thomas Paine; quoted by Joseph Lewis in Inspiration and Wisdom from the Writings of Thomas Paine

The Vatican is the storehouse of an immense number of ancient manuscripts. During the long interval of nearly 1,500 years they have been accumulating, from trial after trial, books and manuscripts confiscated from their sentenced victims, to their own profit. The Catholics may plead that the books were generally committed to the flames; that the treatises of famous sorcerers and enchanters perished with their accursed authors. But the Vatican, if it could speak, could tell a different story. It knows too well of the existence of certain closets and rooms, access to which is had but by the very few. It knows that the entrances to these secret hiding-places are so cleverly concealed from sight in the carved frame-work and under the profuse ornamentation of the library-walls, that there have even been Popes who lived and died within the precincts of the palace without ever suspecting their existence...

...When one has such treasures at hand - original manuscripts, papyri, and books pillaged from the richest libraries; old treatises an magic and alchemy; and records of all the trials for witchcraft, and sentences for the same to rack, stake, and torture, it is mighty easy to write volumes of accusations against the Devil. We affirm on good grounds that there are hundreds of the most valuable works on the occult sciences, which are sentenced to eternal concealment from the public, but are attentively read and studied by the privileged who have access to the Vatican Library
