At the Southern Commercial Convention of 1854, Pike said the South should remain in the Union and seek equality with the North, but if the South "were forced into an inferior status, she would be better out of the Union than in it..His anti-Catholicism stand led him to join the Know Nothing movement when it was organized in 1856, but was again disappointed when it refused to adopt a strong pro-slavery platform..In 1861 Pike penned the lyrics to Dixie to Arms!..At the beginning of the war, Pike was appointed as Confederate envoy to the Native Americans.. In this capacity he negotiated several treaties, one of the most important being with Cherokee chief John Ross, which was concluded in 1861...Pike was commissioned as a brigadier general on November 22, 1861, and given a command in the Indian Territory..After Pea Ridge, Pike was faced with charges that his troops had scalped soldiers in the field..

Licio Gelli was born in Pistoia, Tuscany.. During the 1930s, Gelli volunteered for the Blackshirts expeditionary forces sent by Mussolini in support of Francisco Franco's rebellion in the Spanish Civil War..He participated in the Italian Social Republic with Giorgio Almirante, founder of the neofascist Italian Social Movement ..After a sales job with the Italian mattress factory Permaflex, Gelli founded his own textile and importing company..In 1970, during the failed Golpe Borghese, he was delegated the role of arresting the Italian President, Giuseppe Saragat..As Master of the Propaganda Due (P2) lodge, Gelli had ties with very high level personalities in Italy and abroad, in particular in Argentina, where he was a fugitive for many years..The Argentine Chancellor Alberto Vignes drafted with Juan Perón, who had returned from exile in 1973, a decree granting Gelli the Gran Cruz de la Orden del Libertador in August 1974, as well as the honorary office of economic counselor in the embassy of Argentina in Italy..Gelli affirmed that he introduced Peron to Masonry and that this friendship was of real importance for Italy.. He stated: "Peron was a Mason, I initiated him in Madrid in Puerta de Hierro, in June 1973..Several members of the Argentine military junta have been found to be P2 members - Spoken like someone who isn't in the middle of the North Atlantic at this moment..

RAI Television alleged that the CIA had paid Gelli to instigate terrorist activities in Italy..Following this report, which also claimed that the CIA had been involved in the assassination of the Swedish PM Olof Palme, then President Francesco Cossiga requested the opening of investigations while the CIA itself officially denied these allegations..Gelli's downfall started with the Banco Ambrosiano scandal, which led to a 1981 police raid on his villa and the discovery of the P2 covert lodge on March 17 composed of Italian military officers & civil servants, including the heads of the 3 Italian secret services..Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi was on the list, then known as the founder and owner of "Canale 5" TV channel, and was listed as a member of P2..Michele Sindona, a banker with clear connections to the Mafia, has been clearly associated with P2 educated by the Jesuits, showing very early in his life an unusual aptitude for mathematics and economics..Known in banking circles as "The Shark"..Propaganda Due, was also linked to the robbery of Juan Peron's severed hands - What?

Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 – July 31, 1875) was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869..Initiated on May 5, 1851 in Greenville Lodge No. 119, Greenville, Tennessee.. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln..When Johnson was sworn in as vice president in March 1865, he gave a rambling speech, after which he secluded himself to avoid public ridicule..6 weeks later, the assassination of Lincoln made him president..A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded..The new president favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union.. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives..The first American president to be impeached, he was acquitted in the Senate by one vote..On the morning of July 31 at the age of 66.. President Grant had the "painful duty" of announcing the death of the only surviving past president.. Northern newspapers, in their obituaries, tended to focus on Johnson's loyalty during the war, while Southern ones paid tribute to his actions as president..Johnson's fun-eral was held on August 3 in Greeneville..

What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so?..

As the President was watching the play, Booth shot Lincoln from behind at a distance of perhaps 3 or four feet, hitting him in the back of the head..The president smiled and replied, "She won't think anything about it"..Those were arguably the last words ever spoken by Abraham Lincoln, although it was claimed he later told his wife he desired to visit the Holy Land, finishing by saying, "There is no place I so much desire to see as Jerusalem - At 7:22 a.m. the following day, Lincoln died in the Petersen House across the street from the theater..The Petersen House is a 19th-century federal style row house located at 516 10th Street NW in Washington, D.C.. Booth was initiated in the pro-Confederate Knights of the Golden Circle in Baltimore.. Born into a family of well-known stage actors, Booth had become a famous actor and a nationally recognized celebrity in his own right by the time of the assassination..There are various theories about Booth's exact motivations for assassinating Lincoln.. Booth wrote a letter to his mother Mary Ann in which he speaks of his desire to avenge the South..On the day of the assassination, Lincoln told his bodyguard, William H. Crook, that he had been having dreams of himself being assassinated for 3 straight nights..The box was supposed to be guarded by a policeman named John Frederick Parker who, by all accounts, was a curious choice for a bodyguard.. Parker was charged with neglect of duty and tried on May 3, 1865 but no transcripts of the case were kept..He later went back to work as a carpenter - Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal; you sockdologizing old man-trap!..

The Lincoln Motor Company is a division of the U.S.-based Ford Motor Company that sells luxury vehicles under the Lincoln brand.. Founded in 1917 by Henry M.

Lincoln vehicles are also officially sold in the Middle East and South Korea..Engineer, Henry Leland named his new automobile company after Abraham Lincoln, the first presidential candidate for whom he had cast a vote (in 1864).. As the United States was still involved in World War I, the primary source of income for the company was military contracts - Lincoln has a long history of providing official state limousines for the U.S. President...

Garfield..

Saved by Lasagna (2004) HD..

Garfield was born on June 19, 1978, in the kitchen of Mamma Leoni's Italian Restaurant..James Garfield was born the youngest of 5 children on November 19, 1831, in a log cabin in Orange Township, now Moreland Hills, Ohio..In early 1833, Abram and Eliza Garfield joined the Church of Christ, a decision that would help shape their youngest son's life..Garfield enjoyed his mother's stories about his ancestry, especially his Welsh great-great-grandfathers and his ancestor who served as a knight of Caerffili Castle..Poor and fatherless, Garfield was mocked by his fellow boys, and throughout his life was very sensitive to slights.. He escaped through reading, devouring all the books he could find..On his return to Ohio, the degree from a prestigious Eastern school made Garfield a man of distinction. He returned to Hiram to teach at the Institute, and in 1857 was made its president..In recognition of his success, Garfield was promoted to brigadier general, at the age of 30..

President Garfield with James G. Blaine after being shot by Charles J. Guiteau..

Guiteau felt that God told him to kill the president; he felt that such an act would be a "removal" as opposed to an assassination.. He felt that Garfield needed to be killed to rid the Republican Party of Blaine.. Borrowing $15 from a Mr. Maynard, Guiteau went out to purchase a revolver.. He knew little about firearms, but did know that he would need a large caliber gun. He had to choose between a .442 Webley caliber British Bulldog revolver with wooden grips or one with ivory grips.. He chose the one with the ivory handle because he wanted it to look good as a museum exhibit after the assassination.. Though he could not afford the extra dollar, the store owner dropped the price for him..He spent the next few weeks in target practice – the kick from the revolver almost knocked him over the first time – and stalking Garfield..(Royal Hurlburt Weller (2 July 1881 – 1 March 1929) was a US Representative from New York).. On July 2, 1881, he lay in wait for Garfield at the since demolished Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station, getting his shoes shined, pacing, and engaging a cab to take him to the jail later.. As Garfield entered the station, looking forward to a vacation with his wife in Long Branch, Guiteau stepped forward and shot Garfield twice from behind, the second shot piercing the first lumbar vertebra but missing the spinal cord.. As he surrendered to authorities, Guiteau said: "I am a Stalwart of the Stalwarts.. [Chester A.] Arthur is president now!"..The Stalwarts were a faction of the Republican Party that existed briefly in the United States during the 1880s, in the Gilded Age after Reconstruction..

Alvis Stalwart (1962) Amphibian ..

Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton said in 1881 that he believed that Guiteau was sane when he assassinated Garfield..An autopsy of Guiteau's brain revealed that his dura mater was abnormally thick, suggesting he may have had neurosyphillis, a disease which causes mental instability; he could have contracted the disease from a prostitute..It was discovered that Guiteau had the condition known as phimosis, an inability to retract the foreskin, which at the time was thought to have caused insanity that led him to assassinate Garfield..George Paulson, formerly the Chair of Neurology at Ohio State University, disputed the neurosyphillis diagonis, arguing that Guiteau suffered from both schizophrenia and "grandiose narcissism"..The 1881 census was the first UK census to be made available online..

Garfield had long been anxious to escape hot, unhealthy Washington, and in early September the doctors agreed to move him to Elberon, where his wife had recovered earlier in the summer..After a long, painful battle with infections, possibly brought on by his doctors' poking and probing the wound with unwashed hands and non-sterilized instruments, Garfield died on September 19, 11 weeks after being shot.. Most modern physicians familiar with the case state that Garfield would have easily recovered from his wounds with sterile medical care, which was common in the United States 10 years later..According to some historians and medical experts, Garfield might have survived his wounds had the doctors attending him had at their disposal today's medical research, techniques, and equipment..

The last time the Holy Roman Empire was questioned properly before Brexit (and the Icelandics) was in 1517 (500 years ago this Ocotober 31st) by Martin Luther in Germany

The dissolution of the Roman Catholic monasteries in England began 1536.


Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissol...he_Monasteries.



Following the Protestant Reformation / dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, there is a distinct possibility that the Great Fire of London in 1666 was symbolic of the Phoenix of the Holy Roman Empire rising from the ashes.


Churches designed by famous masonic architects such as Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor ('the Devil's Architect') appeared after this event.


The re-building of London Churches after the Great Fire was sanctioned by Acts of Parliament.

Guy Fawkes night also appears to be more of a celebration of the attempt by a Roman Catholic to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

To this day it is celebrated with Roman Candles and Catherine Wheels - two favourite tools of torture used by the Romans.


The Catherine Wheel is even used on the coat of arms for St Catherine's College Oxford and Cambridge?

The US founding fathers were pre-dominantly Masonic (agents of the Holy Roman Empire – hence the fasces (‘fascism’ derives from this Roman symbol) in the House of Representatives).


Donald Trump is merely ‘playing the Holy Roman Empire game’ as is Theresa May and the rest of the EU, UK and US governments.


As Shakespeare said ‘all the world’s a stage’.


The Roman Empire is very much alive in the re-incarnated form of the EU with the US and Russia as extended military arms.


6 million freemasons worldwide all working to the agenda of the Holy Roman Empire.

[surfer12]

This post has nothing to do with Mark Gordon, but it reminded my of a serious news report from the Independent about secretive networks of Freemasons in public life.

Revealed: How gangs used the Freemasons to corrupt police

Secret networks of Freemasons have been used by organised crime gangs to corrupt the criminal justice system, according to a bombshell Metropolitan Police report leaked to The Independent.

Operation Tiberius, written in 2002, found underworld syndicates used their contacts in the controversial brotherhood to “recruit corrupted officers” inside Scotland Yard, and concluded it was one of “the most difficult aspects of organised crime corruption to proof against”.

The report – marked “Secret” – found serving officers in East Ham east London who were members of the Freemasons attempted to find out which detectives were suspected of links to organised crime from other police sources who were also members of the society.

Famous for its secret handshakes, Freemasonry has long been suspected of having members who work in the criminal justice system – notably the judiciary and the police.

The political establishment and much of the media often dismiss such ideas as the work of conspiracy theorists. However, Operation Tiberius is the second secret police report revealed by The Independent in the last six months to highlight the possible issue.

Project Riverside, a 2008 report on the rogue private investigations industry by the Serious Organised Crime Agency, also claimed criminals attempt to corrupt police officers through Freemason members in a bid to further their interests.

Concerns over the influence of freemasons on the criminal justice system in 1998 led former Home Secretary Jack Straw to order that all police officers and judges should declare membership of the organisation.

However, ten of Britain’s 43 police forces refused to take part and the policy was dropped under threat of legal action.

In England and Wales, the Grand Master of the Freemasons is Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. The United Grand Lodge of England declined to comment last night.
