The Secret History of Our Time: The Pope and Satan, War and the Anti-Christ, Revelations and the Last Days

Author’s Note: In order to come up with an accurate understanding of today’s world crisis it is necessary to start looking at it from the spiritual dimension. This essay attempts to do so, using sources acquired during many years of study.

By the latter half of the 19th century, say at the time of the great Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893, many visionaries saw mankind poised to enter a Golden Age of peace, prosperity, innovation, and progress. The reason, of course, was the Industrial Revolution, especially the relatively recent harnessing of electricity and what that could mean in terms of bringing the benefits of science and technology to bear on raising standards of living and improving the health, longevity, and culture of the masses. Most promising was the possibility that all the new ways of harnessing the hidden forces of nature could allow everyone the leisure to enjoy life, not just the privileged few.

We know that it did not work out that way. Along with skyscrapers, the telephone, airplanes, and automobiles came the horrors of the 20th century, with its wars, revolutions, genocides, and pestilences. There also came the exploitation of the earth and its resources, especially petroleum, for the enrichment of wealthy minorities in the most heavily-armed nations and the development of arsenals of weapons eventually capable of wiping all life off the planet.

Today we seem to be in a late stage of these tragedies, with the U.S. military poised to complete the armed conquest of the earth through a continuous series of assaults against the nations of the Middle East followed by even bigger targets.

It is obvious that the ultimate enemies are Russia and possibly China, both nuclear powers growing in economic strength. (See “Former Soviet States: Battleground for Global Domination” by Rick Rozoff, Global Research, November 23, 2009.) What precisely is to be gained by the American policy of world military supremacy no one seems to be able to define very clearly.

The leaders of America seem to think it is good and righteous to be able to say to every other nation of the world: “We will rule over you or destroy you.” But I would like to suggest that there is no difference in an ethical sense between this and the highwayman’s command to “Stand and deliver.”

If an individual person projected such attitudes, he would be treated as a dangerous psychopath, perhaps even criminally deranged. Some might even suggest the person was under the influence of an evil force, especially if he had no real need for other people’s property, being already the richest inhabitant of the neighborhood. Those with a religious bent might say he was possessed.

I would agree with this judgment. I would say further that the only way truly to understand the history of our time would be to postulate a metaphysical approach, where the forces of good and evil come into play.

Let us begin to seek an explanation by referring to a little-known incident that is said to have taken place within the Catholic Church.

During the late 19th century, the Church, led by Pope Leo XIII, the third longest-serving pontiff in history, attempted to bring Roman Catholicism up-to-date with respect to the rapid development of science and technology by humanizing and moderating the excesses of industrial capitalism. Pope Leo also favored peace among nations, along with fairness for all economic classes.

Pope Leo’s famous encyclical, entitled Rerum Novarum (Of New Things), published in 1891, marked the founding of the modern Catholic social justice movement while rejecting extreme collectivist economic doctrines. According to Wikipedia, “It supported the rights of labor to form unions, rejected communism and unrestricted capitalism, while affirming the right to private property.”

But at the time Pope Leo published Rerum Novarum, he had already experienced a vision of things to come of an entirely different and deeply disturbing nature. As described in the Catholic on-line Michael Journal:

“Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision. When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed [a] prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere.

“When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:

“The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: ‘I can destroy your Church.’

“The gentle voice of Our Lord: ‘You can? Then go ahead and do so.’

“Satan: ‘To do so, I need more time and more power.’

“Our Lord: ‘How much time? How much power?’

“Satan: ‘75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.’

“Our Lord: ‘You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.’

“The prayer Pope Leo XIII decreed be said at the end of Low Mass was: ‘Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.’ Pope Leo’s vision, of course, is strikingly similar to the power granted Satan by God in the Book of Job.

The 75-100 years of Satanic power Pope Leo foresaw through his vision would, at its greatest extent, take the world through the year 1984, halfway through the Ronald Reagan presidency in the U.S. It would have encompassed World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Cold War. It would have included the assassinations of U.S. Presidents William McKinley and John F. Kennedy, along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy.

Little did Pope Leo know that during these terrible times the Church he served would also largely fall under the sway of the Enemy, along with all the mainstream Protestant churches, the independent evangelical churches, and most of the other religious and civil institutions of the so-called civilized world. All would abandon to a large extent their apostolic calling through compromises with modern forces of economic exploitation and military power.

But even if the reign of Satan ended in the mid-1980s, the momentum would have continued, encompassing the start of the current phase of worldwide warfare, beginning with the attacks on Nicaragua, Grenada, Angola, Panama, and Iraq during the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush presidencies, along with the fall of the Soviet Union resulting from U.S. economic warfare in the 1980s and early 1990s. Then in the late 1990s came the destruction of Yugoslavia by U.S. bombing, followed in 2001 by 9/11 and today’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

By the turn of the 20th century, the Satanic clouds were indeed gathering. By 1900, a conspiracy consisting of various European elite groups such as the Illuminati, Freemasons, and Zionists, had begun to take over the world through control of the British Empire. Their vehicle was Cecil Rhodes’ Round Table, financed by theft of the gold and diamond-rich South African provinces from the Dutch Boers. To secure their loot, the British locked up the Boers in the world’s first concentration camps.

One of Rhodes’s objectives, as stated in a series of wills starting in 1877, was “the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire.”[1] Rhodes’ chief executor was his fellow Freemason, Lord Nathan Rothschild. The Masonic lodges of England and France were particular hotbeds of imperialist political agitation.

These groups, which I’ll refer to simply as the Illuminati, using a term common today,[2] moved swiftly to seize control of the U.S. as the 20th century unfolded, succeeding in 1913 through passage by the U.S. Congress of the Federal Reserve Act. Also in 1913 Congress approved the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, authorizing the federal income tax that would be needed to pay interest on the large national debt which the Federal Reserve System was intended to generate. As had been done with Great Britain and the Bank of England, the financial system was to be collateralized by mortgaging America’s future through the nation’s tax system.[3]

The method by which the Illuminati gained financial power was usury, or the collection of compound interest on lending, a practice the medieval Church had outlawed. But by the 20th century, the Church had begun to define usury as “excess” interest of which they themselves enjoyed substantial profits through the massive investments of the Vatican Bank.

To illustrate the diabolical nature of usury, economist Michael Hudson, in an article entitled “The Mathematical Economics of Compound Rates of Interest: A Four-Thousand Year Overview, Part I,”[4] cites a book written in 1902 by German economist Michael Flürscheim, entitled A Clue to the Economic Labyrinth.

Flürscheim drew a strong distinction between the ability of physical capital invested in scientific production to create goods of value and the manner by which finance capital expropriates the resulting wealth through interest-bearing debt.

Hudson elaborates:

“To illustrate this point, [Flürscheim] composed the following allegory to illustrate the dynamic at work:

“Many ages after man was driven from Paradise and told by the Lord ‘to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, mercy began to prevail. A loving angel was sent down by the Great Master, charged with the task of lightening the burden. The angel’s name was Spirit of Invention. He began his work by teaching man to make useful tools,’ to tame animals, mobilize water power, air and wind power, fire and steam power to drive machinery.

“’It seemed that at last the golden era had come of which men had dreamed for ages past, without ever hoping to attain it, without trouble, with almost no exertion, except that of wealth for the satisfaction of wants which, in former times, even the richest did not know or dream of.’ But ‘that envious spirit, that fallen angel, Satan, who once before, in the shape of the serpent, had driven man from Paradise by seducing him to sin,’ was jealous and angry that his own empire would soon be over forever.

“Among the follies of man, one little imp, called Interest, managed to attract Satan’s attention. ‘”What is the matter with you, Interest?” he asked the saucy imp. “You don’t seem to be so dejected as your comrades are?”‘

“‘Why should I be dejected, master?’ replied the spirit, ‘Am I not one of your favorite soldiers? Haven’t I always been victorious under your august guidance?’”

“But Satan answered sadly, ‘Alas, You are no match for the Spirit of Invention.’ The imp, however, volunteered to demonstrate his prowess in a duel.

“‘You little imp! Fight the powerful angel who is defeating all my army?’ laughed Satan.”

“‘Yes, I alone; provided, of course, you allow my son, Compound Interest, to help me.’” He explained with regard to the goblins of technology, that “Instead of their being a source of blessing to mankind, I shall make them the producers of untold misery – worse than ever man suffered from thy hands.” So, “Satan let him have his way. The battle of giants began.”

“In the beginning the angel laughed, for, though twenty squares were passed, no noticeable diminution of his forces was perceptible. Demon Interest said nothing, but attended to business, quietly doubling his army on every succeeding square. At the thirtieth square the angel ceased to laugh, and soon saw he was lost.

“‘I despised you, little fellow,’ he signed despairingly, ‘and I am punished for my vanity. I see there is no use fighting against you. Demon Interest is more powerful than the Spirit of Invention. I am your slave. Command your servant!’

“‘I am the only servant of my great master,’ dryly replied the demon. ‘Here I see him coming. He will give you his orders.’

“And Satan gave his orders. He commanded that the angel was to continue in his work with all his troops, which were to be increased with all possible exertion, so that humanity – which did not know the nature of the antagonist it had to fight against – would always keep in fresh hope of final success when the new troops were forthcoming. But as fast as they appeared, Demon Interest was to send forth a larger army to capture the new forces, to enslave them, and – instead of their benefiting man – make them increase the slave-chains which weigh him down.

“To the surprise of the king [whose kingdom was being destroyed], this series of doublings “produced an amount larger than the treasures of his whole kingdom could buy. It is this kind of chess-game which capital is continually playing with labor.” The remarkable growth of compound interest would “soon swallow products, capital, the earth and even the workers.”

Here ends the parable, one which contains deep metaphysical truths, for compound interest embodies a power of nature comparable to nuclear energy. When the Illuminati took over the U.S. through the Federal Reserve System, Satan now had at his disposal, through banking, what was becoming the most powerful economy on earth. There followed World War I, by which an alliance among the British crown, that nation’s aristocratic classes, American bankers, Freemasonry, and international Zionism exploited the flower of youth of Europe and America as cannon fodder in order to destroy four great empires. Three of the empires were Christian: the German and the Austro-Hungarian, both largely Roman Catholic,[5] and the Russian, whose religion was Orthodox Christian. The fourth was Islamic: the Ottoman.

America was stampeded into the war by the banker-owned press, even though President Woodrow Wilson treacherously ran for reelection in 1916 on the campaign slogan, “He kept us out of war.” However, the Democratic Party that nominated Wilson in 1912 and again in 1916 had become heavily infiltrated with both Zionist and socialist influences, the latter deriving in part from the Socialist Labor Party founded in New York in 1876. This party was the second oldest socialist political organization in the world, being founded only four years after the Communist International made New York City its world headquarters.

It was the socialists and Masons who were the biggest boosters of Wilson’s entry into the war. In France, World War I was a project run virtually single-handedly by the Paris Grand Orient Lodge. Nowhere on earth did hatred of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Catholicism overflow with such venom as in the French Third Republic.

During World War I, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration in favor of the founding of a Zionist state in Palestine. This eventually became the nation of Israel. Many British Jews who had become assimilated within British society opposed Zionism, as they believed it grew out of a ghetto mentality that would prevent Jews anywhere in the world from living at peace with their neighbors. Their misgivings were prophetic.

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was also financed by the Illuminati, led by the American Schiff, Warburg, Morgan, Mellon, Carnegie, and Rockefeller interests. The headquarters for their funding of the Bolsheviks was in the same building as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[6] After the Russian Czar abdicated in 1917, Trotsky, who was in exile in New York, traveled at Illuminati expense with a contingent of communist followers to Russia to help Lenin overthrow the provisional government.

Bolshevism was the work of the Russian Jewish intelligentsia who killed over twenty million Russian Christians in their obliteration of the Czarist empire. This is a travesty the Holocaust “industry” never mentions. During the Russian Civil War Trotsky was commander of the million-man Red Army. He explained his philosophy as a leader of men in his Autobiography:

An army cannot be built without reprisals. Masses of men cannot be led to death unless the army command has the death-penalty in its arsenal. So long as those malicious tailless apes that are so proud of their technical achievements—the animals that we call men—will build armies and wage wars, the command will always be obliged to place the soldiers between the possible death in the front and the inevitable one in the rear.[7]

Although the Western bankers wanted control over the Soviet Union’s banking system and the Rockefellers desired dominance over the Baku oil fields, Stalin, after coming to power when Lenin died and Trotsky lay ill, largely pursued an independent course. Double-crossing the Illuminati by establishing “socialism in one country,” rather than promoting the worldwide revolution Trotsky demanded, Stalin proved too hard a nut to crack. Trotsky, whose real name was Lev Bronstein, was assassinated by a Stalin agent in Mexico in 1940.

So the Illuminati, working through the Zionist financiers, brought on the Great Depression through a contraction of credit starting in 1929, then arranged for the rise of Hitler in Germany. The idea was to let Stalin and Hitler destroy each other. The plan for U.S. entrance into the World War II met with resistance from American patriots like Charles Lindbergh, but the Illuminati, with President Franklin Roosevelt’s connivance, manipulated the U.S. into war against Germany, Italy, and Japan anyway.[8] FDR now found “Uncle Joe” Stalin his ally, along with British arch-imperialist Winston Churchill of Great Britain.

During World War II the Zionists actually helped Hitler bring about the Jewish Holocaust in order to create sympathy for the foundation of the state of Israel. We now know the astounding facts that the Zionists conspired with England to block the escape routes of Jews who wanted to flee Europe and even helped the Nazis police the concentration camp system.[9]

Again the point is made that the Illuminati created both communism and fascism. The two are mirror images of each other, just different names for the all-powerful State run by a self-appointed elite with a single goal: power.

After World War II, the Illuminati created the nation of Israel in 1948 through a terrorist assault by the Zionists on Palestine. Meanwhile, Jewish scientists had developed the A-bombs that President Harry Truman dropped on Japan.

The Illuminati next used the tremendous post-war power of the U.S. national security state in order to create the Cold War to fend off the Soviet Union, whose power had multiplied through Stalin’s victory over Germany and the huge sacrifice of Russian lives this victory required. They killed the Kennedy brothers in the 1960s and have produced the last 30 years of world conflict, leading to the 9/11 false-flag attacks in New York and Washington and today’s phony “War on Terror.”

A decade earlier, the Illuminati took command of Russia after the “fall” of the Soviet Union in 1991. During the decade of the 1990s, under Russian Freemason Boris Yeltsin and the Jewish-Russian “oligarchs,” that nation was looted of its financial and resource wealth.

The plan may have included not only dismemberment of the Soviet Union but of Russia itself. According to a book published in Russian by Oleg Platonov entitled Russia’s Crown of Thorns- Secret History of Freemasonry” 1731-1996 (1996), the biggest part of Siberia was even to have been handed over to the United States.[11]

But the plan has evidently been thwarted by a resurgence of Russian nationalism. While Yeltsin handed on his authority to Vladimir Putin in a surprise move in 1999, Putin, as did Stalin in the 1920s, has now begun to restore the independence and economic power that were stolen from Russia during Yeltsin’s misrule.

In fact, the failure of the Illuminati to fulfill their longstanding dream of completely destroying Russia is probably the most significant geopolitical fact of the last half-century. As a result, the homeland of Orthodox Christianity still exists,[12] and nuclear-tipped Russian missiles remain aimed at all the major Western cities, where the Illuminati elite reside, as well as at Israel.

The U.S. has retaliated by expanding the membership of NATO to include Poland and the Baltic republics, staging “color revolutions” to take over former Soviet republics like Ukraine and Georgia, and trying to gain as allies the former Central Asian republics like Kazakhstan. Russia is increasingly portrayed in the Illuminati press, as was the Soviet Union during the Cold War, as the enemy of world peace. But with Russia moving closer to the European Union and becoming a major supplier of natural gas and oil, the world balance of power may have decisively tipped from the Western Hemisphere back to Eurasia.

The new battleground appears to be Iran, the last Middle Eastern nation not completely under Illuminati control. The continued demonization of Iran by media outlets like the Washington Post and New York Times is clearly intended to prepare the ground for a much larger Asian war that would likely be accompanied by totalitarian repression in every nation of the world. And the run-up to world genocide through planned programs of famine, pestilence, epidemics, and de-industrialization via the global warming scare, would be the seeming accompaniment. At the same time, there seems to be a glimmer of realization that an attack on Iran by the U.S. and/or Israel, could be suicidal for both in the long run, especially if it leads to world war against Russia, China, and maybe even India.

Whatever the outcome, what is evident is that we are continuing to witness the workings of Satanic evil on a worldwide scale. Even if, according to Pope Leo’s vision, Satan’s reign has come to an end, as stated earlier, the momentum continues.

The focal point of Satanism on earth today is the U.S. military-industrial-intelligence complex, with its allies in Britain, Israel, and the other NATO nations.

This complex is a death cult engaged in torture, assassinations, mind control, destruction of nations and peoples, and confiscation of all the resources of the earth. Among its roots is Nazism, which itself was a Satanic cult that was incorporated into the American CIA after World War II when a host of Nazi mass murderers were spirited into the U.S. from Germany to form the core of Western intelligence operations against the Soviet Union. The CIA was run by members of Yale University’s Skull and Bones, itself an Illuminati death cult said to have been founded by white Protestant males with money from New England’s Chinese opium trade in the early 19th century.

Today the Illuminati cult intends to complete its conquest of earth, destroy much of the useless human population, enslave the rest, and likely enjoy itself to the end of time in drugged debauchery, just as its leaders among the elitist class already do on a regular basis. Planning among the cult for World War III is well-advanced, even though Russia thwarted the earlier plans for it to be dissolved during the events of the 1990s.

The cult is doubtless frightened because it knows that Russia possesses enough nukes to obliterate all major Western elite strongholds and will do so if pushed too far. Nevertheless they will be moving out soon because they know time is no longer on their side. There are indeed plans to impose martial law within the U.S. and other Western nations and lock up all those perceived as still capable of independent thinking. According to one of my informants:

“I’m a retired Correctional Officer….. I was recently talking to a friend of mine named M- who still works at the prison I was at prior to my retirement. M- told me of a recent conversation he had with an officer at this same prison who is also in the National Guard. The officer told M- that they (the National Guard) were presently training to put people in ‘Re-education Camps.’ I asked M- if he was sure that was the term the officer used? M- said he was absolutely certain that the guard used the term Re-education Camps.”

At this stage of the discussion it is fair to ask whether there is anything else going on that might provide a counterweight to the ruination of the world and mankind. If there is a God, what is He doing to right the wrongs that have been done? If there are people of wisdom who are supposed to be guarding and protecting humanity, where are they?

And where are the angelic forces, the beneficent spirits, some embodiment of decency and goodness? For the believers in our midst, where are the saviors of mankind? Where is Jesus Christ when we need Him? Where is Mohammed? Buddha? Vishnu? Are they nowhere to be found in mankind’s darkest hour?

Let us call these forces of goodness and light the influence of esotericism. Some claim that all esoteric influences are evil and Satanic and that the Illuminati itself has esoteric origins.

This is profoundly false. There have been threads of hidden teachings throughout human history that have continuously led individuals to the highest realization. These influences have produced all genuine world religions. They produced the Mysteries of ancient times. They were at the core of different spiritual teachings during European history, including those of the Knights Templars, the Rosicrucians, and the Renaissance schools of art and philosophy.

But teachings degenerate over time, and unscrupulous people get hold of them and try to use them for selfish purposes. The result is black magic, sorcery, even devil worship. The Illuminati are a black magic cult. So is Skull and Bones. So were the Nazis. So are the CIA, the Mossad, MI6, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, the Tavistock Institute, and many other organizations that try to use power or wealth or knowledge or related means for the control or destruction of others.

An intense form of black magic is practiced by the mainstream media through use of psychological manipulation for purposes of propaganda or commercialism. In fact the entire Western ruling elite is a black magic death cult with its own perverted rites of initiation. As indicated earlier, what characterizes these people above all is their universal addiction to drugs and sexual promiscuity or perversion.

But genuine esotericism has also been at work in the world. One form of endeavor has been through the transfer of the hidden knowledge of man’s spiritual evolution from centers in the East that have been overrun by war or revolution to individuals, groups, and secret schools in the West.

This happened when Russia was destroyed by the Bolshevik Revolution. The esoteric spark was carried to Paris and London respectively by the Caucasian-Greek spiritual master G.I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949) and his Russian pupil P.D. Ouspensky (1878-1947).

In the 1920s the Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927) and his brother Musharaff Khan (1895-1967) brought the secrets of Sufism to America and Europe, founding a school that continues today. British journalist Paul Bruton (1898-1981) spent years in remote places of Egypt and India and wrote a series of books on his discoveries, including accounts of the famed Indian master Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950).

In the line of yoga, Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) came to America in the early years of the 20th century to teach Vedanta. He was followed by Swami Yogananda (1893-1952), author of the celebrated Autobiography of a Yogi, who founded the Self-Realization Fellowship in California.

There were others. In the 1960s, followers of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918-2008), the Beatles’ guru, brought Transcendental Meditation to the West. The Kriya Yoga movement of Swami Muktananda (1908-1982) put down roots in upstate New York. Another great India master who influenced many Westerners was Papa Ramdas (1884-1963). Others were Sri Anirvan (1896-1978), Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950), Krishnamurti (1895-1986), and Meher Baba (1894-1969) More recently the female Indian masters Karunamayi, Amachi, and Mother Mira have founded movements in the West, as has the famous yogic meditation master Shivabalayogi.

When the Chinese took over Tibet most of the Tibetan lamas fled to India and the West, including the Dalai Lama, the Gwalya Karmapa , Chögyam Trungpa (1939-1987), and many others. Tibetan Buddhism has transformed the consciousness of the West in many profound ways.

The list could go on. Other streams of thought and practice have been Zen, Chinese Taoism, and the hidden teachings of many groups of native peoples in North and South America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and even within Europe among the Celtic and Nordic peoples. And within the Christian tradition there have been spiritual masters emerging as well, such as Joel Goldsmith (1892-1964) in the U.S., Padre Pio (1887-1968) in Italy, Eckhart Tolle (1948-) of Germany, who teaches in the U.S. and Canada, and Mother Teresa (1910-1997). Another important esoteric teacher was Austrian Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925).

I have been told that work is also ongoing on the astral plane. One powerful individual, for instance, has been hard at work with astral entities to stop the American plan of conquest.

Has all this happened by design? The answer, undoubtedly, is yes. No one in the world today who sincerely seeks inspiration or instruction on finding the path to the Higher Self and God can fail to encounter it. “Seek and ye shall find,” has never been more true.

And yet a person must persist and eventually find truth in his own heart, mind, and soul, because that is where God truly resides. If the travesties of the 20th century have demonstrated one thing, it is that God is not to be found in the world, at least the world that we see on TV and in the actions of its celebrities and leaders. No one out there is going to help us.

All help, rather, is to be found within. Then, once found, it is up to us to put it into action through our courageous efforts to help others as we encounter them in daily life.

As stated in Matthew 25: 31-46 (King James Version):

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

“And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

“And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

“For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

“Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

“When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

“Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

“For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

“I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.”

“Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

“Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

The importance of these words in human history cannot be exaggerated. For 2,000 years they have been the standard by which nations, churches, rulers, economic systems, and political creeds have been measured. It was these sentiments that created modern civilization, imposed some semblance of decency on public and private life, and made it possible to walk down the streets of most parts of the world in peace and safety.

“These conditions have been disappearing over the last century. If we look at the theft of trillions of dollars by the rulers of Wall Street over the last decade, along with the relentlessness and viciousness of the U.S. war machine and the disgusting violence and filth of modern mass culture, we can feel the impact of how far man has fallen.

To repeat an earlier theme, it’s happened, above all, by the replacement of the values found in the New Testament and other religious scriptures by the Satanic banking system that exploits and destroys humanity through application of interest-bearing debt. And this has taken place, not because of any power inherent in falsehood and error but by the acquiescence of humanity itself to its own enslavement.

Let us now turn to what has been said about the “Last Days,” the “End Times,” and the “Apocalypse.” Many people today have a deep sense of dread that things cannot go on as they are. This may be one reason those with the means to do so are hoarding as much of value as they can lay their hands on. They want to be safe. The collective unconscious is clearly fearing a final calamity, as evidenced by films such as 2012. Is some great battle between good and evil about to take place? Is the earth to be either transformed and/or destroyed?

There has been, for instance, an enormous amount of discussion and speculation among various Christian denominations about the prophecies in the Book of Revelations. I think that virtually all of what is being said is merely conjecture, often used by the commenter to bolster his own sense of being among the elite that is supposedly going to come through the predicted tribulation unscathed.

At the same time, my own sense is that we are indeed in the Last Days. While I cannot prove it, I believe the Anti-Christ of legend exists and has been on earth working his evil will for the last 40 years. I believe it is he who is behind the final battle now being prepared by the U.S. military and its remaining perceived enemies. I believe the U.S. military is working directly for the Anti-Christ. But I do not believe it is necessary for me to name that person. I will say, however, that he is not Jewish.

For an interpretation of the Last Days I turn to another great spiritual master, one little known in the U.S. but who taught prominently in France for 40 years. This is a man named Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900-1986). He was a Bulgarian Christian, Slavic by race, and, according to his personal testimony, heir to an ancient line of spiritual teaching that is descended directly from St. John of Patmos, author of the Book of Revelations. I never met him but visited one of his disciples in Connecticut in a house where he stayed during his only visit to America. The honorific title Omraam comes from the time he visited India and received initiation from the half-legendary Babaji.[13]

Aïvanhov wrote no books, though his teachings are voluminous. All existing accounts consist of transcripts from his lectures. One such volume is entitled The Book of Revelations: A Commentary (Editions Prosveta: 1991). The book is 190 pages long and virtually impossible to summarize. So I will quote a few passages in the remainder of this essay, urging readers to get hold of the book and read it if you can find a copy. I believe it is one of the most important books in existence in relation to the events of today.

First, let me point out that according to Aïvanhov, The Book of Revelations was given to St. John on Patmos by that mysterious figure in Biblical lore known as Melchizedek. Identified as the King of Salem, Melchizedek appears in the Book of Genesis to Abram (before he became Abraham) and bestows on him the bread and wine that foreshadow the communion elements given much later by Jesus to his disciples at the Last Supper.

This is what Aïvanhov says about Melchizedek:

“Of all God’s representatives it is Melchizedek who has the most important role to play on earth. All decisions and instructions concerning the destiny of mankind come from him. All the high Initiates received their instruction from him: Hermes Trismegistus was an aspect of Melchizedek and Orpheus, Moses, Pythagoras, Buddha, and Zoroaster—all the greatest Initiates were taught by him: even Jesus. It was Melchizedek who sent the three Magi, as representatives of his kingdom, to bow down before Jesus, because Jesus was the incarnation of the Christ-principle, of the Word made flesh…. Jesus, therefore, received instruction from Melchizedek. St. Paul states this very clearly when he explains that Jesus belonged to the order of Melchizedek: ‘So also Christ did not glorify himself to become High Priest, but it was He (God) who said to him: “You are My Son. Today I have begotten you….You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”‘…Melchizedek, who reigns over the destiny of the world, is an aspect of Christ, the Cosmic Principle. This is what St. Paul means when he says that he was ‘made like the Son of God.’ There must always be, somewhere on earth, a divine fire whose flames are never extinguished, and this is precisely the task of Melchizedek: to keep this fire alive. He is this fire and all those who are ready to do so can light their own flame from his.”

We can see from these passages that no matter what evil may befall the earth, God, through Melchizedek, is watching, biding his time, and available to those who are seeking safety and salvation. God has not abandoned the world. The Anti-Christ may appear to be all-powerful, but it is not so. Certainly it is a time for testing. We may not see why God is putting the world through such agony. But the situation is still under control.[14]

Another passage from Revelations Aïvanhov interprets as follows:

“Indeed, the Devil is about to throw some of you in prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation…. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.”

Aïvanhov himself was imprisoned by the French during World War II. He was from Bulgaria, which was allied with Germany, and was falsely accused of being a Nazi along with other crimes. He was acquitted, released, and retained as pupils many people he had met in prison.

Aïvanhov speaks of acquiring a heavenly name as a sign of initiation:

“Every man and woman has a name that was given to them by their parents when they were born but, more often than not, this name does not mean much. The name a person receives from Heavenly entities, however, corresponds exactly to what he is: it is a faithful expression of his deepest reality. And, in truth, only he can really know it, for it is an integral part of that reality.”

So we should all strive to live in such a way that we may receive our heavenly name. We do this, according to The Book of Revelations, by “overcoming.” Aïvanhov says:

“The Spirit also says, ‘To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His Throne.’ There is no throne other than that of Leo [sign of the Lion], on which is seated the Sun, Christ. Symbolically speaking, Christ is the Sun, the heart that pours out its blood—its love—into the universe. And this means, therefore, that he who overcomes hatred and death (inner coldness) will reign on the throne of God.”

Much has been said by commentators in reference to the calamities of modern times represented by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This is what Aïvanhov says:

“The four horses with the four Horsemen on their backs are a symbol of the cataclysms ordained by the four great Angels of the elements on high, for these Angels are so powerful that the merest sign from them sets in motion other forces which devastate the face of the earth. Why can’t human beings understand that everything they do entails certain consequences and that they cannot continue to transgress the laws of nature and interfere with the work of the elements with impunity? By their actions and, also, by their thoughts and feelings and their anarchical attitude, they exasperate the forces of nature and, in the long run, these forces react and move to restore order. Nature is not something inert and insensate, and human being don’t have the right to do whatever they please with her; when they exceed the bounds of what she is prepared to put up with, she retaliates.”

No doubt this passage includes abuse of the laws of nature by the military and intelligence agencies in developing every more powerful and terrible weapons of mass destruction, as well as through inflicting pain and degradation on their fellow human beings by means of torture, propaganda, psy ops, etc. “God is not mocked,” and retribution is sure to come. But in the end, when the dust settles, love is certain to win out. Aïvanhov says:

“Christ is the Divine Lamb, the spirit of love that attracts, draws together and sustains all things. And it is He, this spirit of love, that is the bedrock and foundation of creation; it is He that sacrificed himself so that the matter of creation should be impregnated with the divine fluid of his blood. It is He that is the unifying bond, the link, the cement that ensures the cohesion of the universe, that binds together all the atoms, molecules, and ‘letters’ of this immense Book. Everywhere, in the stones of the earth and the stars in the sky, it is this love that holds the structure together. Love is the most powerful force in the universe and this is why love alone is worthy to read the secrets of the universe.”

Aïvanhov speaks of women and their supreme role:

“Never forget that the Kingdom of God on earth can only be brought into being by women, for only woman possesses the matter needed to embody it. What a lot of mental attitudes still need to be changed!”

Hearkening back to the start of this essay which cited Pope Leo’s vision, following is the passage in Revelations 12:7-10 that speaks of the war in heaven:

“And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Commenting on this all-important passage, so relevant to events today, Aïvanhov says:

“There have always been men in the world who have had the courage to throw themselves into a struggle to the death against the dragon but, to this day, none have vanquished it, for this battle is not the province of human beings: they have neither the stature, nor the breadth of vision, neither the power nor the methods required to defeat the dragon. Only a Heavenly entity, the Archangel Michael, is capable of conquering the dragon….When the time comes, the Archangel Michael will rise up and, with the help of his army of angels of light, will conquer the dragon and bring about the victory that human beings have never ceased asking the Creator for. This is why we should ally ourselves with him and ask him to protect us and allow us to work with him in order to strengthen his victory. Light will triumph over darkness: this has been foretold and it will be so. Why not have a share in that triumph by dedicating your energies to light, goodness, and brotherhood every day?”

Aïvanhov also talks at length about “the new heaven and the new earth” and the Heavenly City, the celestial Jerusalem. But I will leave most of that to the reader’s own discovery. Let me close this summary with the following prophetic words:

“Mankind will never entirely disappear. Don’t worry about it: human beings are very tough; they can survive anything! On the other hand, there are certainly going to be all kinds of cataclysms and upheavals; we are truly at the end of an era. This is why you have to get ready to enter the new heaven and walk on the new earth.”

So what exactly lies ahead and when will it happen? Well, I am not a prophet and have no specific predictions to offer. But it seems obvious that it makes no sense to look to the larger society or to a government under the control of the criminally insane for assistance. It is time for people to help themselves, and, since I began to study these things 40 years ago, it has meant to me the formation of groups that can develop their skills enough to be self-sufficient.

But such groups must have a spiritual foundation. They must seek their inspiration in prayer, meditation, and consensus decision making. Otherwise, they will be subject to domination by those who seek power, control, or their own survival before that of others. I believe the best places to seek guidance are through the scriptures of the world’s great religions.

As Joel Goldsmith has said, what the world needs now is not a new religion but a sense of inner peace, calmness, and healing. Like Aïvanhov, I do not believe God intends to wipe humanity from the face of the earth. But clearly there will be great tribulation. It’s time to prepare. Let’s do so expeditiously but cheerfully using the tools at hand.

In the meantime, I believe that people can find safety from the worst of collapsing conditions simply by turning away from the materialistic viewpoint. Materialism derives from what metaphysics calls “carnal mind.” This is seen in the allegory found in yoga teachings where a person sees a rope on the ground and recoils in horror because he thinks it’s a snake. Another name for it, used by Goldsmith, is “universal hypnotism,” of which our interpretation of the world we are convinced we live in is composed. It’s this “carnal mind” or “universal hypnotism” that defines Satan as found in the allegory of the Garden of Eden. Returning to the 1884 vision of Pope Leo XIII, an interpretation is that, for whatever reasons, mankind was about to be subjected to an intense period of materialistic thinking.

The Fall of Man is therefore defined as the dualistic state of consciousness where God is seen as separate from material creation. Man in his foolishness believes in the material creation, fears it (i.e., sees it as a snake), and thinks he can use it for selfish ends, whereas in his original innocence he already has God-given dominion over all creation but only as he exercises it through love as God’s good steward. In dualistic consciousness, the outer world is seen as having power apart from God. This is the fundamental delusion. In reality, only God, as divine consciousness, has power. But man, as having that spark as well, can allow God’s presence and power to be expressed through him.

It’s now time, perhaps, to regain this sense of innocence, love, and stewardship. For guidance, see especially Joel Goldsmith’s book, The Thunder of Silence. In deep meditation, these truths are realized. Freedom in God-realization is seen as man’s natural condition to which we now must return.

At the same time, my own sense is that we are indeed in the Last Days. While I cannot prove it, I believe the Anti-Christ of legend exists and has been on earth working his evil will for the last 40 years. I believe it is he who is behind the final battle now being prepared by the U.S. military and its remaining perceived enemies. I believe the U.S. military is working directly for the Anti-Christ. But I do not believe it is necessary for me to name that person. I will say, however, that he is not Jewish.


I wonder who it is that he refers to as the anti-christ? I only read this article once and I didn't glean out who he is talking about. It is a dense article though so I am going to read it again.

Typically I agree with you. When I first ran across this article I assumed it to be just another of many such articles. I have read thousands of such articles but I decided to finish reading this one the deeper I got into it. Something about his history and background caught my attention. I haven't done any research into his background other than a wiki though. It seems to me as if he is attempting to blend his writings so that it will appeal to both the woo crowd and a crowd that doesn't take the woo well. He seems to have added a lot of history, without bias or hatred toward any one group, that I found refreshing.

But I also find the subjects of this article to still be interesting, even after all these years, if the writings are a bit unique, which I find this writing to be at least a little bit unique. To each his own I suppose.

Due to our work computers I must log in to this site with a proxy. This site seems to be very unfriendly to proxies for some reason. One login and then the site refuses to complete the login for some reason. Old site was the same way. Any way around this?

Today the Illuminati cult intends to complete its conquest of earth, destroy much of the useless human population, enslave the rest, and likely enjoy itself to the end of time in drugged debauchery, just as its leaders among the elitist class already do on a regular basis. Planning among the cult for World War III is well-advanced, even though Russia thwarted the earlier plans for it to be dissolved during the events of the 1990s.

The cult is doubtless frightened because it knows that Russia possesses enough nukes to obliterate all major Western elite strongholds and will do so if pushed too far. Nevertheless they will be moving out soon because they know time is no longer on their side. There are indeed plans to impose martial law within the U.S. and other Western nations and lock up all those perceived as still capable of independent thinking. According to one of my informants:

“I’m a retired Correctional Officer….. I was recently talking to a friend of mine named M- who still works at the prison I was at prior to my retirement. M- told me of a recent conversation he had with an officer at this same prison who is also in the National Guard. The officer told M- that they (the National Guard) were presently training to put people in ‘Re-education Camps.’ I asked M- if he was sure that was the term the officer used? M- said he was absolutely certain that the guard used the term Re-education Camps.”



He refers to the fact that time is no longer on the side of the evil elites. I have often seen it said that these evil power cults are consumed by their own success. I wonder though, mechanically speaking, exactly how and why it is that he sees their end coming? By exactly what means do they end up destroying themselves? I have always been curious as to exactly how it is that they will fail. He also mentions Re-education Camps which does dove tail with these big FEMA compounds with the weird inward facing barb wire.



I have been told that work is also ongoing on the astral plane. One powerful individual, for instance, has been hard at work with astral entities to stop the American plan of conquest.

I also wonder who he refers to here. I am trying to read between the lines and take the woo out and apply this to solid every day earth peoples.

Maybe I'll comment more later, but this article smacks of LaRouchisms (e.g., Cecil Rhodes's purported hope to repossess the US for the British Commonwealth, that bit about Trotsky vs. Stalin) as well as old-fashioned antisemitism (e.g., representing all, rather than some, early 20th Century Zionists as supporting fascism) alongside right-wing demagogic pseudo-populist nonsense (e.g., "Money Masters"... FWIW the congressman who introduced the Fed bill withdrew his support before voting on account of the Fed not being anywhere near as powerful as he hoped, and, additionally, the Fed's charter can, has been and will be changed by Congress) that I've come to expect from conspiratainment / disinfo agitprop, but this time, spiced up with a little Da Vinci Code / Angels & Demons flavor. I'm a little disappointed he didn't mention the bit about how Communist Reptilian Shapeshifter Khazar Jews have been making bread from baby's blood, I guess it's hard to pack all the "greatest hits" into one article.

The bit that stands out most is the part about Melchizedek--it's a break from the usual nonsense and into outright esoteric speculation. If I were in a gambling mood I'd almost promise that's part of some bigger op, but that's entirely intuition.

Thank you for your comments nathan28. I am not really sure I am qualified to respond though because I don't know much about LaRouche and I haven't read much that he has said or written.

I'm curious though as to why you think the Fed does not have much power. It has been my perception that they are very powerful. Where are they lacking in power?

I will research your comments though in hopes of adding to my knowledge bank. Thank you for responding.

That's quite an article. Quite an awful article, actually.

It seems to assume that mainstream Christianity has been a rather benign influence in humanity's arrival at the edge of this current (and possibly final) cliff, and I don't think much of anything could be further from the truth.

Under the bankrupt theological and moral leadership provided by the Church, the West found itself paralyzed for much more than a millennium by rank ignorance and calcified superstition in the exact epochal times when entirely new ways of understanding our rapidly evolving technologies and ourselves (not as beings having "dominion over the earth in order to subdue it" but as co-equal tenants with other lifeforms who also are part of the earth) were most required.

That's time humanity will never get back — and damage during that time that may never be undone.

Because of its silly and dangerous insistence that humanity has some kind of "God-given dominion" and/or role of "stewardship" over the earth and its varied and multitudinous inhabitants, the Church has abdicated any credible pretense to moral, even spiritual leadership long, long ago.

My complaint about the Fed conspiracy theories is that they miss the bigger part of the story. The Fed is open about its market manipulation--it posts, or posted, its "Open Market" operations weekly, and even posts the TARP/TALF/MILF figures, though they effectively obscure things. It makes money available or takes it away from the banks and funds, which themselves play the market. It's like sitting down at your own casino playing with money the bank loaned you. The Fed regularly pumped cash and withdrew it. Additionally, its charter has been changed by Congress before--it's not a private body, it's a semi-public one, like a Transit Authority, sort of. The original sponsor of the Fed bills withdrew his support because he felt like there was too much oversight of the Fed after the bill went through the committees. Etc. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of shenanigans going on.

The LaRouche thing is a rabbit hole. I don't know that the author in the OP is a LaRouchite, but that doesn't mean that he isn't quoting them. LaRouche was a banker who decided to do politics. To oversimplify, the LaRouche team has essentially infiltrated nearly every investigation and research project in the "conspiracy" genre since at least the '70s. Inslaw, Franklin, BCCI, Dutroux, 9/11, etc. At times I tend to think these things have been so tainted it boggles the mind. I wonder if LaRouche isn't the U.S. equivalent of Stalin's airbrush artists.

The antisemitism should be pretty obvious. Speaking of Uncle Joe, anytime I see someone conflate Bolshevism and Stalinism and claim it was backed by Russian Zionists, well, like I said, that should be obvious.

The one stand-out, again, is the Melchizedek line. I'm thinking of Vallee's own references to it. I'm wondering if it isn't a code-word for people who are in on the game.

Zionists! The Illuminati! Oh my. Are people still writing gosh awful pap like this? And I say gosh awful as the level of bad research is astounding.

Oh, we are living in interesting times alright...and no doubt we've had a loosely knit group of thugs running the show...but the idea of the US running the show, or Russia/China being "good", or the idea "Christianity" is right...is well, not something I can agree with. It's manipulation on all levels.

It's very possible the "elite" are not even aware of how they have been manipulated throughout the centuries.

I am not taking him literally in a religious sense. Religion and life have many parallels that are real though. I take it as real life, and not as real life explained through religious miracles and prophecy. I believe that real people mimic religious principles behind the scenes and use religion as a cover for their acts. "It is the will of God" for instance, and I don't buy it. He refers to some real living person but I don't know who.
