My name is Derek Rose. For the last decade, I've worked as an investigative journalist,
hosting a radio show, writing books, and producing numerous documentaries about the realities
of child trafficking, the dangers of technology, and Indigenous struggles. Now, I aim to uncover
whether there exists a network which ties these issues together. Many researchers posit
the existence of an international cartel which covertly manipulates world events
for their own benefit. Are these claims simply fantasy and paranoid delusion, or is there
truly an agenda to subvert humanity to the demands of the pyramid of power?
Chapter 16. Religion and Secret Societies. In the previous chapter of this series, we
outlined how the problem of child abuse pervades all cultures, political affiliations, genders,
and religions. Unfortunately, pedophilia is not the only problem associated with
organized religion. Organized religion, sometimes known as institutional religion, is defined as a
belief system and rituals which are systematically arranged and formally established. Organized
religions have an official doctrine outlining these beliefs and rituals, as well as a hierarchical
or bureaucratic leadership structure, and a codification of proper and improper behavior.
While humanity has been seeking to understand the physical world by creating stories and
myths which explain natural phenomena since the beginning of our species, it took hundreds,
and in some cases thousands of years, to develop the current major organized religions.
The origins of these organized belief systems began to crop up around the year 2000 before
the current era, with the seeds of Hinduism developing in northern India. Early Judaism
begins in the Middle East around this time as well, while Buddhism sprouted in India
around 500 BCE. We also see the beginning of Confucianism in China, the Yoga Sutras as
outlined by Pattinyali, and the Vedic text which contributed to both Hinduism and Buddhism.
Additionally, around 140 BCE to 200 of the current era, the Hebrew Bible was developed
and organized. The tales of Jesus of Nazareth also appear within 100 years of the current
era. As man attempted to explain the world with belief in gods and supernatural phenomenon,
these various belief systems evolved into organized religious institutions, all of which
have claimed a monopoly on the path towards God, enlightenment, or a peaceful afterlife.
Inevitably, these institutions clashed as they pursued dominance over competing beliefs
and interpretations of the world beyond the five senses. Over the last 2000 years,
these ideologies have been used as a method of dividing the populace and justifying war,
violence, and the murder of heretics and non-believers. The Jews of the pre-Christian era,
sometimes known as Second Temple Judaism, were already struggling to maintain their beliefs
in the face of Hellenistic rule by the Greeks. Alexander the Great conquered the land of
Israel by 331 BCE, and Jews often faced mistreatment. The Jewish opposition to Hellenistic
influence on their religious and cultural practices led to the Maccabean revolt
from 167 to 160 BCE. The tensions between the Jews and their conquerors continued during
the Roman Empire, resulting in several Jewish-Roman wars between the years 66 and 135 CE,
leading to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple.
Over time, the Jews themselves divided into numerous sects, including Pharisees,
Essenes, Zealots, and early followers of Jesus of Nazareth. Battles between Jewish sects,
Christians, and the Roman Empire began almost immediately after Jesus' claim to have existed.
The Roman Empire's religion was centered around the pantheon of Roman gods and goddesses,
as well as various rituals, prayers, and sacrifices to the gods. The emperors of the
time viewed the rise of the Christian cult as a threat to their dominance and power,
and began a period of persecution of Christian missionaries and believers.
The Jewish leadership came to view Christians as a threat to their beliefs,
while Christians often blamed Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus.
Over time, as Christianity spread throughout the world,
Christians would persecute each other, often based on minor differences in
interpretation of the life, teachings, and divinity of Jesus.
The Roman Empire persecuted Christians beginning with the reign of Nero
and continuing throughout the Empire. Valerian reportedly ordered the Senate to command
Christian clergy to perform sacrifices to the Roman gods or face exile.
Christian leaders would also be executed or lose their titles and property if they
failed to worship Roman gods. As the Christian cult evolved into a mass religious movement,
the Roman Empire was forced to contend with its rising popularity.
Roman Emperor Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration, which ended years of persecution
of Christians and began their recognition by the Empire. This acceptance would expand
two years later with the so-called Edict of Milan by Constantine I, the first
Roman ruler to convert to Christianity. This trend continued for decades to come,
culminating with Christianity becoming the official state religion of the Roman Empire
in the year 380 under Theodosius I. Ironically, Theodosius would immediately begin suppressing
and persecuting those who practiced the polytheistic worship of the Roman gods.
Theodosius continued Constantine's ban on animal sacrifices and in the year 389,
he began issuing decrees which implemented a ban on the celebration of non-Christian holidays
and visits to temples for non-Christian gods. Despite the majority of the Roman Empire still
practicing worship of Roman gods, the persecution of these beliefs and the promotion of Christianity
as the only accepted religion of the Roman Empire continued after Theodosius's death
with the reign of his sons. Those who held on to their Roman spiritual traditions or
practiced other forms of indigenous spirituality were often labeled pagan.
The practitioners of these varied belief systems did not call themselves pagan.
The term literally means rural, rustic, civilian or someone who comes from the countryside.
Thus, pagan can be seen as a derogatory term applied by Jews, Christians and Muslims
to those who practice beliefs outside of the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam. The wars between religious factions would continue for the next 1500 years with
the rise of Islam and the teachings of Muhammad. In the 7th century, Muslims began invading
various nations in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe as they sought to
spread the Gospel of Muhammad and Islam. The Ottoman Empire was infamous for carrying
out a number of genocides against Christians, Jews, and believers of other religious traditions.
Christians and other religious minorities were discriminated against and persecuted
in financial matters, prevented from owning certain weapons, holding certain professions,
and obligated to pay taxes. Muslim rule would expand across the Middle East,
North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula in modern-day Spain and Portugal during the Rashidun Caliphate,
the Umayyad Caliphate, and the Abbasid Caliphate. The fourth and final Caliphate was the Ottoman
Caliphate, established by the rulers of the Ottoman Empire who claimed caliphate authority
from 1517 until the Ottoman Caliphate was formally abolished in 1924.
This period saw numerous battles and wars waged between the Islamic Caliphates
and European Christian kingdoms. These included the Crusades, where the Catholic Church sought to
recover the Holy Land from Muslim rule, the Baltic Crusades against the non-Christian people
surrounding the Baltic Sea, the Crusades against Christians based on the schisms within the
Church from 1200 to the late 1500s, and the Reconquista, which officially ended Muslim
rule of the Iberian Peninsula in 1492 with the Granada War. These religious wars continued
to be waged across Europe and the Middle East during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.
The death toll from these wars ranges from 7 million on the low end to more than 10
million people on the high end. The Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 is widely
considered to be one of the most violent conflicts of this period with an estimated
4.5 to 8 million soldiers and civilians dying from the effects of battle, famine, or disease.
The use of religion as a justification for war and death has continued in the 20th and 21st
centuries. For example, in the late stages of the Ottoman Empire, the ruling classes implemented
a program of forced migration and exile focused on the Greeks and the Aegean region.
The explosions continued throughout World War I and lasted until 1922,
resulting in the deaths of an estimated 289,000 to 750,000 people.
The Ottoman Empire's Greek genocide also included forced death marches through the Syrian desert,
executions, and the destruction of Eastern Orthodox cultural, historical, and religious monuments.
Additionally, while the violent conflict between the Palestinians and the Israeli government
has waged since the very beginning of the creation of the Israeli state after World War II,
the world has witnessed an increase in awareness and disgust for the violence
since October 7th, 2023. On that day, Hamas radicals carried out a terror
attack on the Israeli population, resulting in the deaths of over 1,000 people,
including Israeli citizens and foreign nationals. In the months following the Hamas attack,
the Israeli government has carried out endless bombings on the Palestinian population,
much of it being heavily documented by independent journalists using social media
to broadcast the harsh reality to the modern world. Current estimates of Palestinian
deaths since October 2023 range from 30,000 to over 100,000.
The Abrahamic religions are not the only organized religions which are responsible for violence.
Even Buddhists have participated in violence against people with differing beliefs.
In Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, Buddhist nationalist movements have formed
in recent years in response to differences between the majority Buddhist populations
and the minority Muslim and Christian populations.
Numerous reports during the 2010s and 2020s document how some Buddhist nationalists have become
convinced they are under an existential threat from Muslims. Some extremist Buddhist monks
have given up on pacifism and now attempt to justify the use of force against the ethnic
minority Muslims in Myanmar. To be certain, some of the Muslim sects also promote
hostility towards the Buddhists and these conflicts have erupted into violent incidents.
In Bangladesh, villagers who converted from Buddhism to Christianity near the two decades ago
were attacked by Buddhist extremists after they refused to reconvert to Buddhism.
Their Christian church was demolished and crosses were broken and retribution for their beliefs.
In all of these conflicts, from the current ongoing battles waged by religious fanatics
to the wars fought thousands of years ago, religion is a central component
of the misguided justification for continued violence, theft, rape, and murder.
Time and time again, throughout humanity's history, we have seen wars and violence enacted
in the name of defending a god or banishing those who refuse to comply with the edicts of the popular
religious ideologies. Especially in the post-911 world, we see examples of politicians,
military officials, and extremists who believe they are fighting a holy war
in some misguided attempt to bring about the prophecies of the Bible.
This crusade, this war on terrorism, we have declared Jihad against the U.S.
You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our holy bible. Our hero troops,
they have one supreme main goal to completely defeat the murderous enemy.
Researcher Adam Green has been studying the Abrahamic religions on his podcast
No More News for over a decade. Green says these religions are nothing more than methods
of controlling and manipulating the masses. The role of religion, or how I see religion
being used, is theological psychological control. It's the original mind control.
The number one religion, two top religions in the world, Christianity and Islam,
are over four billion believers, and both of those emerged from Torah messianic apocalyptic
Judaism. Half the world now worships the god of Israel, the god of the Torah, the god of Zion,
through the prophesied Messiah Mosheach that was intended all along to have all of the nation's
worship in the end times and to conquer all the pagan idol worship and have all of the world
all flesh every knee will bow to the prophesied Messiah and the god of Israel. The role of
it is used in like Plato's noble lie basically what I believe the Torah and Christianity by extension
were built upon the noble lie that to control the masses you need a founding mythology to keep
everybody in line and keep them unhypnotized under a Judeo paradigm with prophecies and
end times and messiahs to rule the whole world. Beyond the violence and war which has raged for
millennia in the name of religion, there are also scholars who believe that the Abrahamic religions
simply co-opted pre-existing spiritual traditions when it was politically expedient for the ruling
class. For example, we know that the narrative of Jesus Christ has many parallels in Middle
Eastern myths about gods dying and rising. The cult surrounding Baal, Osiris and Adonis
are all examples which survive through the Hellenistic and Roman periods and likely influenced
early Christianity. As the Christian cult grew into a formidable movement and the Roman Empire chose
to embrace Christianity, they rebranded many of the indigenous festivals and celebrations as
Christian holidays. Eventually became the Gentile world. They syncretized with a lot of the
pre-existing pagan myths of a passion of a dying and rising deity. You know there's Dionysus,
Mithra, Osiris, Romulus and Rome also, different motifs that they incorporated and put the overlay
of the Hebrew prophecies and Messianic, Davidic messiah. They syncretized to target the pagan
world so they would more easily adopt Jesus, the king of the Jews as their god. The whole
intention of the messiah was to conquer Rome and all the nations and that's exactly what
Jesus did and you can find scriptures outlining this explicitly all over the Torah and even in
the New Testament. Like Paul says in Romans 1512 that Jesus will quote, rain or rule over the
Gentiles. It's the whole purpose of the messiah. All of the nations, all of the Gentiles,
all of the Goiom, every knee bowing to the god of Israel and that's the ultimate
objective of the nation of priests who were to be the lighten to the nations
and have all of the world worship their god. Eight hundred years ago one of the top sages
in all of Judaism says Christianity and Islam helped prepare the world for the messianic age
by believing in the laws of Moses, the god of Israel and a messianic figure in messianic prophecies.
A cult researcher Mark Pasio believes one of the goals of religious leaders
is to distract from fundamental truths which have been hidden from humanity,
namely what he calls natural law. That's what Luciferians ultimately know and that is what
in my understanding separates them and makes them distinct from satanists and other dark occultists.
Religious people, people who have been indoctrinated into any form of religious thought
have to first understand that that in and of itself is a dark occult agenda and that's one
of the most bitter and horrific pills for anybody to have to swallow. Now that is not to say that
all religions do not contain a seed of spiritual truth that they are based upon and built upon
foundationally. The problem is that they diverge from that core essence of spiritual truth
in almost every way over time and they become dogmatic and rigid belief systems that people get
locked into from a mental dialectical perspective and what that serves to do and why the dark
occultists favor getting people to mentally buy into religious belief systems is that deflects
them away from the real truth about natural law. The difference between the seven deadly sins and
the true transgressions against natural law from a purely natural perspective. The seven deadly
sins are pride from the Christian tradition are pride, gluttony, sloth, lust, anger, jealousy,
and greed all of which are vices not actual behaviors that initiate harm against another
sentient being directly. The true seven deadly sins that which there are from a natural law
perspective that are the true transgressions against natural law that bring true karmic
consequence upon people who enact these immoral behaviors are and listen qualitatively to the
difference between the the so-called seven deadly sins from the Christian religious tradition
to the real seven deadly sins from a natural law perspective. Here's what they are. Murder, assault,
rape, theft, trespass, coercion, and deception all direct violations of natural rights of
sentient beings all initiations of violence against other sentient beings so this is what
religion is serves to do it serves to take us off the course of what true morality is which is
not to do those immoral behaviors and to put us on a uh a so-called understanding of false
moral principles that are watered down that are based on vices instead of actual
initiations of violence you know because if we understand real initiations of violence we would
understand that government does all of these things that government is violence and coercion
and ultimately slavery and that is what religion is designed to do religion is designed to make
people not understand that through a watered down and false variant of moral principles
instead of the true ones under natural law religionists have to open up their worldview to
understand that this knowledge contained within the body of information known as the occult hidden
knowledge was specifically designed to take you off the path to under the understanding of natural
law which is the only path that can liberate humanity because they are the true laws of
the creator of the universe they are god's true laws and religion is designed to give people
false laws of morality to get them to cling onto that so that they will never understand how to
truly be free quite clearly organized religion has been and will continue to be a tool for
manipulation and control of the masses one final point on the conflicts which arise from
religion should also be noted specifically even nations which have rejected religion as the official
state dogma have in turn used violence against those who choose to believe in a god or a higher power
the french revolution and the so-called reign of terror in 1792 led to violence against church
officials the nationalization of church property and the exile of tens of thousands of priests
under what was known as decristionization the mexican revolutionary period in the early
1900s also saw a program aimed at eradicating religious practices we can also look to the many
communist revolutions as examples of state atheism being used to justify the stripping of property
abuse and murder of adherence to various religions these communist revolutions burned
churches mosques and temples which the state saw as a threat to its supremacy conspiracy
researcher david ick has been studying the control techniques deployed by what he called the
global cult since the 1990s he believes using religion to divide the population is one of the
strongest techniques used to control mind and spirit and so if you are setting out to keep the public
in ignorance of what you know then religion serves your agenda perfectly because they are
prisons of the mind and a lot of people in in religions don't realize this but you know there
are certain key areas where they're all basically saying the same and it's in those areas ironically
of agreement that so much truth lies but they don't see that and the third point I would make on
religion is if there's a few of you and you're trying to control the many the absolute bottom
line essential to that is you've got to divide and rule the many because if they come together in
unity it's over finished so you've got to get them fighting among each other and religions are
wonderful fault lines even though there's so many areas of agreement they don't realize
they're wonderful fault lines to play off against each other so now you have Trump quoting the bloody
Bible you have Netanyahu quoting the Bible you have others quoting the Koran all in support of their
psychopathy and that's a perfect perfect vehicle for divide and rule and squeezing the perceptions
of possibility of the population and that's why religion's being created perhaps the most vile
aspect of organized religion relates to the tendency for politicians and influential public figures
to proclaim their belief in the popular religion of their home country while privately living a
life in complete opposition to the stated principles and values of said religion there are
literally endless examples of politicians and religious leaders being engulfed in scandals
which reveal adultery lying theft murder and the aforementioned pedophilia clearly these actions
do not align with the proclaimed tenets of the world's popular religions even more disturbing
is the fact that many adherents to organized religions also privately practice rituals
as part of their membership and a wide range of secret societies
the secret society subversion secret societies have existed for millennia going back to the
Pythagorean secret societies in 530 BCE the Ellucinian and Mithraic mysteries in ancient
Greece and Rome as well as the cult of Isis these secret and sometimes not so secret societies
rose and fell throughout the centuries leading to groups like the rose secrusions
and the Freemasons as well as secret student societies at elite universities like Skolen
Bones and Skrolling Key at Yale University these secret societies and the mystery religion
they covet were not simply the realm of religious fanatics or the average person kings emperors
and politicians have all been members of these various cults and secret societies which are
sometimes referred to as fraternities there is no doubt that these organizations have wielded
an uncanny influence on geopolitical outcomes in the final episode of this series we will
dive deep into the role secret societies like the Freemasons and not so secret societies like
the Society of Jesus have played in the unfolding of historical events over the last few hundred
years for now it's important to recognize that these societies included all types of people
from a wide range of backgrounds political parties and religions for centuries critics
have debated whether members of these secret societies have a greater allegiance to their
private clubs and fellow members than they do their own religion nation or family you both
for members of Skolen Bones they secret society at Yale what does that tell us not much because
it's a secret it's so secret we can't talk about what does that mean for America the conspiracy
theorists are going to go on the role of secret societies is fundamental what i call the global
cult which is that which is behind the direction of global society is actually a
fiercely compartmentalized global network of secret societies and if you look at whether it's
the Freemasons or any of these secret groups they're compartmentalized in levels of degree
so the lower you go the less they know about what the people at the top know so where these
inner core elites of these secret societies meet that becomes like the inner core of the
global cult and there's two worlds in one world there's the world of the cult the secret societies
and they pass on at the inner core not Bill and Joe down the lodge the inner core
highly advanced information compared with what they allow the the public to know and this
information is yes of course about where the world's being taken but it's also about the natural
reality itself because if you can keep the nature of the very reality that we're experiencing
from your target population you're already in an immense position of power of power over
their perception of what the hell's going on so that's the one world where
this information is passed over through the inner core of the secret society network
there's perhaps no greater example of politicians and influential people living one life in the
public sphere and acting out a completely different fantasy and private than the group known as the
bohemian club the bohemian club and the cremation of care the bohemian club was originally founded
in 1872 the club owns the infamous bohemian grove a restricted 2700 acre campground in
monta rio california which every july becomes the home for hundreds of america's influential
politicians and industrialists for a two-week encampment some of the rich and powerful who
have attended and or given speeches include william kasey the director of the cia from 1981 to 1987
former u.s secretary of state diplomat and war criminal henry kissinger zabignu brzezinski a
former national security advisor and promoter of the technotronic era dr verner von brahn
nazi and scientists with the nasa space program astronaut neil armstrong attorney general
robert f kennedy vice president nelson rockefeller and george h w bush while serving as vice president
general dwight eisenhower also attended before being elected to the presidency presidents who
have attended included harbert hoover ronald reagan richard nixon and jerald ford ronald
reagan and nixon met at the grove to discuss plans for nixon to go after the republican
nomination unchallenged it has long been rumored that the seeds for the creation of the
atomic bomb were planted at the bohemian grove in a september 1942 planning meeting for the
manhattan project earnest orlando lorenz was an american nuclear physicist and a winner
of the nobel prize in physics in 1939 for his invention of the cyclotron lorenz worked on uranium
isotope separation for the manhattan project according to the book an american genius the
life of earnest orlando lorenz lorenz had many trips to the grove where he connected with
the men who would eventually fund his research lorenz's membership in the bohemian club was sponsored
by his university president in 1932 as a member of the club he met william henry crocker edwin
poly and john francis nailin the man who helped him obtain money for his energetic nuclear
particle investigations lorenz also shared a meal with general eisenhower and former president
hoover at the grove even in the 2020s we continue to see powerful people in american politics
attending the bohemian grove meetings in april 2023 pro-publica detailed supreme court justice
clarence thomas's relationship with billionaire businessman harlin crowe the report notes that
thomas has attended the bohemian grove with crowe the most infamous and worrisome aspect of the
bohemian grove is a ritual known as the cremation of care this ritual involves grove members
dressing up in red hoods marching and chanting in front of a 30 foot hollow owl statue at
the head of the grove lake the club says the owl is their mascot and symbolizes wisdom
the ceremony which has been taking place since 1888 is presented on the first night of the annual
encampment and is said to give grove members an opportunity to banish their worldly cares
this cremation of care involves incinerating an effigy of dull care in front of the owl
starting in the 1980s the grove would be infiltrated by journalists and activists
in 1981 rick clover's mother jones article inside the secret life of the power elite
detailed the elite gathering and reported on the owl and the opening ritual in july 1981
abc news released a five minute special report about the grove however the owl was only briefly
shown in the cremation of care ritual mentioned in passing in 1989 philip weiss wrote an
article for spy magazine detailing how he spent seven days in the camp posing as a guest in
his article inside the bohemian grove he writes that he saw bohemian grove literature which claimed
grove rituals are derived from juridic traditions however it wasn't until the year 2000 that the
world was able to see the cremation of care ritual with their own eyes that year independent
journalist and provocateur alex jones released his documentary dark secrets inside the bohemian
grove jones and his cameraman snuck into the grove and recorded the opening ceremony
jones would later describe the ritual as satanic while jones's video provided evidence of politicians
participating in a secret ritual his video was grainy and indecipherable at some points however
in december 2023 an anonymous train hopping youtuber known as dancer infiltrated the
bohemian grove by sneaking in via a small boat overnight he infiltrated the grove a second
time in may 2024 and recorded the most clear evidence of the cremation of care ritual to
date are these politicians and influential members of high society practicing a neo druidic ritual
designed to help them shed their concerns for the world in druid traditions the owls are seen as
part of an initiation the cremation of care could be an initiation ritual for members of
the ruling class who are beginning their journey into the world of secret societies
and secret rituals this is but one example of the actions of powerful people meeting in
secret to enact rituals which conflict with their public persona
while i do not profess to know for certain whether god or gods exist there is no doubt that
institutional religions have been used to sway the masses to support actions which are diametrically
opposed to the claim intentions of the world's religions for thousands of years tyrants and
psychopaths have used claims of divine right or direct communication with god to justify
their plunder lies and war crimes it is my belief that organized religions are themselves
the biggest impediment to developing an individual connection with the divine
the world beyond the five senses and a respect for all of creation whatever your spiritual
beliefs whether you attend a church synagogue mosque or temple do not allow pastors priests
gurus imams and rabbis to stand in the way of your direct connection with the divine if you
are in control of your own mind if you're in control of your own uniqueness and your own unique
perception what you do is you say i'm gonna take what feels right and i'm gonna leave what i think
is nonsense i'm not gonna take it to be the word of god i'm going to take it to be a series of
philosophies some of which are obviously nonsensical and very violent and and psychopathic and others
that have validity i mean there's there's some great lines in the bible do one to others as you
would have them doing to you it's a wonderful line there's many great lines in it but because
it's the word of god and god can't be wrong you then have to take all the crap and and
it's it's a wonderful example of the difference between group think belief and unique individual
perception making its own choices about what it believes and this of course the unique
perception is the worst nightmare of the cult because if you look at any tyranny whatever form
it takes they're all basically the same um they all want uniformity they want uniformity of belief
they want uniformity of structure even uniformity look at the Soviet Union uniformity of buildings
this group think whether it's religion whether it's a party political belief whatever it is a
cultural belief this um this group think in which you must think the same as everyone else
or you're not one of us that is crucial to um collective um uniformity of of belief and um
and control instead of individual uniqueness do not allow those who claim to have a monopoly on a
relationship with god to mislead you or twist scripture to support actions which you know are
immoral and ungodly we must guard against the forces of evil which attempt to justify
their horrific actions while they hide their true intentions and beliefs we must question
everything including religion and secret societies in the 16 episodes of this series we have described
the design of the pyramid of power and outlined the many institutions and individual players
which allow this pyramid to function in the final episode of this series we will further
explore the role of secret societies and the belief systems which guide these organizations
as we finally answer the question who or what does this pyramid of power serve
to dive further into the rabbit hole of religion and secret societies
i recommend the following books celsus in his own words a translation of the true teaching
and secret societies by michael howard
