Saunière & Martinism # 3: The Illuminati Protocols. Hiérarchie, Fraternité et Liberté! ou Liberté, Egalité et Charité?
Nein - Die Illuminaten gibt es nicht!
Ja - Die Illuminaten sind mitten unter us!
"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer." - Henry Kissinger
"In politics nothing is accidental. If something happens, be assured it was planned this way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Bauer a.k.a. Rothschild
"Of all the means I know to lead men, the most effectual is a concealed mystery. The hankering of the mind is irresistible." - Adam Weishaupt
"Wij vormen een vereniging van broeders op alle punten van de aarde… Maar toch is er één die onzichtbaar is, en nauwelijks gevoeld wordt. Waar vandaan komt het? Waar is het? Niemand weet het, of niemand verteld het. Deze vereniging is zelfs voor ons, de veteranen van de geheime genootschappen, geheim." - Guiseppe Mazzini.
Capital must protect itself in every way... Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. - J.P. Morgan
"We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't know what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back." - Jean-Claude Juncker
(describing the way the EU works)
The Martinists...admired by the wise...feared by the tyrant...persecuted by the dictator...respected by the mystic...sought by the Seeker. Since the XVIIIth century, the Martinists have been found at the very heart and center of esotericism and mystical belief in all its various expressions. While the Martinist Order is not a secret society, rarely do individual Martinists allow themselves to be seen directly; generally, only a hint of their presence is noted. Yet always, their influence is great, and their charisma is felt by those who know. Frequently are they discussed by the uninitiated who have little knowledge or understanding of the Martinists or their abilities. Today, Martinism flourishes, and its portals are still open to the Men and Women of Desire who wish to exit the Forest of Errors and enter the Light to be found at the Gates of Mercy.
When talking about synarchy another subject almost invariably and automatically comes to mind: the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Is there a connection between the two or is this purely accidental? Is it simple a mix up of names Zion and Sion? We shall soon see.
The origins of the infamous Protocols are just as obscure as the mystery of Rennes-le-Château itself, the genesis of Freemasonry and or the sources of the Nile for that matter. They range from the obscure and bizar to the downright insane and ludicrous.
The true origin of the protocols, according to novelist and scholar Umberto Eco, who has researched the subject, goes back to the adventure stories featuring long dialogues and convoluted plots that appeared in parts in popular French newspapers. In these stories, brave heroes rescued beautiful maidens from the clutches of evil rich men and scheming Jesuit priests. Even famous authors like Alexander Dumas and Eugene Sue wrote such stories (Le Juif errant)
Contrary to popular belief, they are not a forgery, nor a fiction; but neither are they of Zionist origin. In fact they formed the basis of a Martinist plan for Synarchic government. Papus himself wrote of such a plan as a necessary counter to what he saw as creeping anarchy. Aware of their political potential, they were used by a faction of dissident Russian exiles to discredit Russian noblemen involved in Freemasonry who were believed to be involved in a conspiracy to influence the Tsar. -Guy Patton.
This Martinist document was then seen by Sergei Nilus; who confused the Martinist symbol - a six-pointed star - with the Zionist Star of David. He immediately interpreted the document as being a Zionist plan and part of a Zionist conspiracy. The Martinists were duly attacked as belonging to this illusory Judeo-masonic plot. Anti-Semitic tendencies of the time greatly helped to fuel this confusion and added to its propaganda value that continues even until today. – Guy Patton.
I must stongly disagree with Patton’s interpretation except his first line: Contrary to popular belief, they are not a forgery, nor a fiction; but neither are they of Zionist origin.
Plus the fact that Sergei Nilus mistook the Martinist symbol for the zionist star of David. (Tsar Nicholas II and his court were members of a Martinist lodge - the "Cross and Star", and he (Tsar Nicholas) was initiated into the Martinist Order by Papus (Gerard Encausse).
A more or less generally accepted point of view was the authorship of Maurice Joly author of the political satire entitled The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu (Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu), attacking the political ambitions of Napoleon III. Subsequent research points out that Joly appears to have plagiarised a good amount of the material from a popular novel by Eugene Sue.
One of the few copies to survive the confiscation of Napoleon III’s secret police found its way to Switzerland, where it was picked up by the Okhrana, the Russian secret police, and served as the basis for The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Then Hermann Goedsche's 1868 novel, Biarritz (in English as To Sedan) who contributed another idea that may have inspired the scribe behind the Protocols. In the chapter, “The Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the Council of Representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel”, Goedsche wrote about a nocturnal meeting between members of a mysterious rabbinical cabal, describing how at midnight, the Devil appears before those who have gathered on behalf of the Twelve Tribes of Israel to plan a “Jewish conspiracy”.
Now, my own opinion. Is it any better than the above mentioned ones? Perhaps yes, maybe it isn’t. So why would I do this. Perhaps if not someone less qualified might decide doing so!?
Thus, by adding one and one kabbalisticly, using my experience, intuition and common sense I can only come to one conclusion: it was the Illuminati.
Well didn’t even Sherlock Holmes aver: "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
So I am of the opinion that the Ordo Illuminati Bavarensis (Gesellschaft der Perfectibilisten) founded 1 May 1776 by Adam Wieshaupt and his friends and heavily sponsored by Mayer Amschel Rothschild (Bauer), though parts of the documents may have pre-existed, were responsible for genesis of this unholy document. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion so closely resemble the game plan of the New World Order, that they could easily be called the "Illuminati Protocols".
William Huntington btw, an American who had studied in Germany, founded the "Skull and Bones" at Yale University in 1832. (Which is actually nothing else but Chapter 322 of the Bavarian Illuminati!).
"Those on the inside know it as The Order. Others have known it for more than 150 years as Chapter 322 of a German secret society. More formally, and for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust Association in 1856 (New Haven, Connecticut based). Since 1961 also known as RTA. It was also once known as the "Brotherhood of Death". Those who make light of it, or want to make fun of it, call it 'Skull & Bones', or just plain 'Bones'.
- Prof.Dr. Antony C. Sutton
When asked what it meant that he and Bush were both Bonesmen, former Presidential candidate John Kerry said, "Not much because it's a secret".
Many people think "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is anti Semitic "hate literature" and a fraud. But Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that the book exhibits "the mind of genius." This is pretty unusual for a fraud. He said it exhibits "great strength of thought and insight. Its design is well above the abilities of an ordinary mind...It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb."
Illuminati is a name that refers to several groups, both real and fictitious.
Historically, it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment era secret society founded in the late eighteenth century. However, in modern times it refers to a purported conspiratorial organisation which acts as a shadowy power behind the throne, allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). Many conspiracy theorists believe the Illuminati, or the "Illuminated ones", are the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of such a New World Order.
In rarer cases, the Illuminati refers to an elite set of enlightened individuals who may not co-operate but are uniquely empowered by their enlightenment, much like the intelligentsia classes of today are empowered by their education and intelligence. These are people who have become illuminated and have achieved a higher mystical understanding of the universe. Many secret societies and mystical traditions are concerned with this kind of illumination or enlightenment, such as the Afghan Roshaniya, Ismailis, Alumbrados, Guerinets, Rosicrucians, Martinists, Illuminés d'Avignon, Fratres Lucis etc.
P.S.: the article series Saunière & Martinism is far from being complete, it is under constant construction and will be updated soon as any new evidence appears or information is somehow made available to me. So for the time being it should be merely considered as a personal notebook. - "Your Humble Narrator".

Saunière & Martinism # 2: “It’s only politics, so what’s that got to do with us?”
"Money will find a way"
"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."
"What luck for rulers, that men do not think." - Adolf Hitler
If the American people knew what we have done,
they would string us up from the lamp posts. - George H.W. Bush
"Nothing is straight forward when it comes to story of Rennes-Le-Château"
"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." - Josef Stalin
Il y a deux histoires: L'histoire officielle, mensongère, qui nous est enseignée, et l'histoire secrète où se trouvent les vraies causes des évènements, une histoire honteuse." - Honoré de Balzac
"The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes." - Stanley Kubrick

At Wilhelmsbad, near the city of Hanau in Hesse-Cassel, was held the most important Masonic Congress of the eighteenth century. It was convoked by Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, Grand Master of the Order of Strict Observance ... there were delegates from Upper and Lower Germany, from Holland, Russia, Italy, France, and Austria; and the order of the Illuminati was represented by the Baron Von Knigge. It is not therefore surprising that the most heterogeneous opinions were expressed. A meeting was convened at Mayer Amschel Rothschild's castle in Wilhelmsbad on the 16th July 1782, where the freemasons and Illuminati forged a complete alliance.
Comte Henri de Virieu (Eques a Circulis) a Mason from the Martinist lodge at Lyon after the 1782 Masonic Congress of Wilhelmsbad and attendee at this conference, comes away visibly shaken. When questioned about the "tragic secrets" he brought back with him, he replies: "I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out, that it will be, so to speak, impossible for the Monarchy and the Church to escape it."Il y a deux histoires: L'histoire officielle, mensongère, qui nous est enseignée, et l'histoire secrète où se trouvent les vraies causes des évènements, une histoire honteuse." - Honoré de Balzac
TRIA SUNT MIRABILIA, DEUS ET HOMO, MATER ET VIRGO, TRINUS ET UNUS
Synarchy is Greek for joint/harmonious rule (1+1=3), as opposed to Anarchy.
The earliest recorded use of the term "Synarchy" is attributed to an English theologian Thomas Stackhouse (1677-1752). But the most common use of the word "Synarchy" though stems from the writings of Alexandre Saint-Yves d’Alveydre (1842-1909), who used the term in his books to describe what he believed was the ideal form of government.
Synarchy as devised by St-Yves was not a purely political movement. Being a friend of kindred spirits such as Victor Hugo and Lord Bulwer-Lytton, he incorporated several specific mystical and occult ideas into the system. Saint-Yves envisioned a European synarchist empire; a government composed of three councils, representing economic power, judicial power, and scientific community of which the metaphysical chamber bound the whole structure together.
Essentially, Synarchy advocates government by secret society or, in its own terms, by an elite of enlightened initiates who rule from behind the scenes. It therefore doesn’t matter therefore much which political party holds power in a state or even what political system that state has since Synarchy can rule in any kind of state, though for obvious reasons it finds itself more at home among totalitarian regimes.
St-Yves believed in the existence of spiritually superior beings that could be contacted telepathically. His elite would be made up of people who were in communication with them. He himself claimed that he was in touch with these beings, and that they actually gave him the principles of Synarchy.
New as this all may seem at the time, Synarchy basically is very much old wine in a new bottle. Something we've all seen before: read Adam Weishaupt and the Order of Illuminati. Though Synarchy may have looked more advanced and mature, when you carefully study the aims of the Illuminati there's a lot of correspondence. It comes therefore as no surprise that St-Yves regarded the medieval Knights Templar as the ultimate Synarchists of their day.
It's crucial to consider the whole issue of Synarchism whithin the proper historial context and the time frame of St-Yves' time. Democracy wasn't really mature yet, and communism was still to be invented. It's soooo easy to be politically correct with hindsight...
Despite his continuous efforts he didn’t manage to draw much attention for his ideas from the French public at first. However, gradually St. Yves d'Alveydre became more and more influential when several occult groups and currents became interested in his beliefs. The concept of Agartha and its Masters had a big influence on the teachings of Madame Blavatsky founder of the Theosophical Society .
Then there is Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) who used Synarchy as a major influence when he developed his own ideas for his own organisation, the "Antroposofische Gesellschaft"
Another important movement which became closely associated with Synarchy was Martinism. Papus (real name Gérard Encausse), (1865-1916) who in 1884, drafted the constitution of and revived the Martinist Order “Ordre Martiniste” (1887-1891). Papus called Saint- Yves his “intellectual master” where as his "spiritual master" he claimed the mysterious magician and healer known as "le Maître Philippe de Lyon" (Philippe Nizier). It is surprising therefore, that neither of the two have ever been members of the Martinist Order themselves!
Papus had an enormous influence over the world of esoteric secret societies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Not so long after his death in 1916, Victor Blanchard, became the leader of the Martinists. In order to express his appreciation for the work of Saint-Yves d’Alveydre, he renamed the Martinist Order into Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique (1920).
So where the Martinist Order at no time was meant to be a political current, it’s undeniable that many Martinists once were drawn to the ideas of Synarchy. Nowadays the Synarchist Utopia has lost much its appeal or at least I know of no Martinists who’re still drawn to these ideas (or they simply don’t want to speak out…).
People are rather wary of politics these days and rightly so, but they are not so wary of an appeal to the romantic, spiritual and mystical. And therein lies the danger. Since the combination of occultism and politics is highly questionable in my humble opinion and has often proved being downright dangerous.
According to French Martinist expert Robert Ambelain (one of the very few genuine experts imho, considering all of the self-proclaimed journalists and researchers on the internet!) the whole idea of Martinist Synarchy had been grossly misunderstood and deliberately misinterpreted. In his "Martinism, History and Doctrine", he states the following:
Quote
These anti-masonic reviews designated Martinism being identical with this same "Synarchy"!
In reality "Synarchy", a secret organization in the pay of trusts and high-finance, most certainly existed. But it had nothing to do with the synarchic principle of state government, which had been preached by a Martinist of the Saint-Martin line, Saint-Yves d'Alveydre!
The Martinist Order had knowingly been confused with a purely political and capitalist movement, confusing Martinists with business venturers.
Unquote
Post Scriptum:
it was long assumed that the B + S on the Saunière Bookplate stood for his initials though his full name was François Béranger Saunière.
The Ex-Libris was taken though from an early Rosicrucian book by Adrian von Mynsicht (1603-1638) a German rosicrucian alchemist (Dei Gratia Aureae Crucis Frater) known for his allegorical work Aureum Saeculum Redivivum, and published under the pseudonym Henricus Madathanus around 1625.
It is a rosicrucian rebus having a double meaning, one alchemical and the other astrological, (2 X B + S) together forming the classical fifth element or Quintessence.
The first meaning = Blut & Stein and the latter being...
Thus it’s not suprising that Saunière used this bookplate btw, but it’s highly amazing though that he knew about its existence…

Saunière & Martinism # 1: La Société des Indépendants ou des Intimes?
"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."
History, for a creative Martinist, then, can be almost like a plaything: a Game, in fact with a serious inner meaning. You can play with the history to reveal a greater truth. - Tobias Churton Invisibles
Of all the hoaxes, mysteries and conspiracies going around in this world, the Rennes-le-Château secret could very well be designated to be the Mother of all Mysteries.
The Martinists...admired by the wise...feared by the tyrant...persecuted by the dictator...respected by the mystic...sought by the Seeker. Since the XVIIIth century, the Martinists have been found at the very heart and center of esotericism and mystical belief in all its various expressions. While the Martinist Order is not a secret society, rarely do individual Martinists allow themselves to be seen directly; generally, only a hint of their presence is noted. Yet always, their influence is great, and their charisma is felt by those who know. Frequently are they discussed by the uninitiated who have little knowledge or understanding of the Martinists or their abilities. Today, Martinism flourishes, and its portals are still open to the Men and Women of Desire who wish to exit the Forest of Errors and enter the Light to be found at the Gates of Mercy.
Der Martinismus ist ein Resultat der Aufklärung und proklamierte, dass der göttliche Ursprung nur durch den Weg des Herzens wieder gefunden werden könne. Es ist die Suche nach dem "göttlichen Ich". Seine Anhänger wollten eine neue Weltordnung basierend auf Jesus Christus vorantreiben, die verschiedene Glaubenssysteme nicht nur tangiert, sondern auch integriert – inklusive der jüdischen Kaballa. - André Douzet - Das Grab des Christus
It’s the well known story of the Abbé Francois Béranger Saunière, who discovered “certain things” and which made him a very wealthy man.
Where one hand there’s the ones like Paul Smith who simply dismiss the whole affair as a hoax, I belong the the critical believers, who feel that there’s more to this mystery than meets the eye.
After a long study of this mystery I've found that the only constant thing of it, is that those involved invariably had something to do with rosicrucianism and or martinism. For the rest I could very well quote Goethe: "Da steh ich nun, ich armer Tor, und bin so klug als wie zuvor."
The first ones who described this phenomenon i.m.o. (links with martinism and rosicrucianism i.e.) were Guy Patton and Robin Mackness in Web of Gold. Soon to be followed by Picknett & Prince.
More specific details have been given by French author André Douzet (The tomb of Christ and Saunière’s model).
However what these authors have in common though is that they, to my best knowledge, are not Martinists themselves and therefore see these things only from a hearsay perspective (their given information as such being quite accurate nonetheless).
In the pages of the Lodge Minutes book of the Martinist Order of Lyon it says: Dans La registre de la Très Révérente Loge à l’Orient de Lyon “La Haute Philosophie”…sur la liste le présent d’honneur l’Abbé Saunière.
Where Douzet quotes the minute book of a Martinist meeting(s) which Sauniere allegedly a.o. attended on 11 May 1900, he all together avoids to produce the relevant paper and which I’d like to see for verification. Certain details which I can't reveal here, would probably give me a fairly accurate impression of its authenticity. So, if the Douzet document is authentic, it proves that Saunière was a Martinist and a very important one (présent d’honneur) at that...
His interest in Martinism b.t.w. isn't surprising since others in his cercle of friends were Martinists such as Emma Calvé. In a document made in Paris on November 11th, 1892, at the cabaret "Chat Noir", we can see the signature of Emma Calve just before the sign of S:.I:., Supérieur Inconnu; the third degree of the Martinist Order.
Ignorami sometimes claim that his adherence is without any evidence whatsoever. Still subscribing to the romantic but completely false idea that if you’re just interested, you could simply go to and attend a Martinist meeting, by stating that it would interest you. Well: No Way!
No one, not him/her self duly initiated, will ever find his way into a Martinist heptad!I can guarantee that!
Where Saunière's Martinist adherence doesn't necessarily solve the mystery, it at least points us somewhat in the right direction.
Where even as a martinist myself, I find it rather difficult to properly define martinism so that no doubt is left to the intended meaning. Therefore in a previous post: Dialogues avec un Serviteur Inconnu... I've made an attempt by quoting several people/scholars who've shone their light on this mysterious subject. Since the romantic perception that it's simply Christian Mysticism, well I just don't find this view satisfactory. I rather support the idea of Charles Barlet who once stated that martinism was "a circle whose circumference was everywhere and the centre nowhere." This much better expresses the apparent discrepancies that seem to exist in martinism.
Dear gentle readers, soon I'll be returning to the Rennes-le-Château story, discussing some of the seemingly incongruent ideas which you'll find within martinism, such as synarchy, monarchy, and the bizarre movement of Naundorffism... or to quote Prof. Karl R. H. Frick: Man könnte ebenso die Quadratur des Kreises versuchen, um die widersprüchlichen Lehren des Martinismus im 19. Und 20. Jahrhundert in völlige Kongruenz zu überführen.
NAUNDORF: The lost King of France or just an other Imposter?
Where Louis Claude de Saint-Martin could hardly be called a royalist himself, only read his works “Lettre à un ami, ou Considérations philosophiques et religieuses sur la révolution française” & Le crocodile (1799) or the excellent paper The Crocodile Strikes Back: Saint-Martin's Interpretation of the French Revolution by Dr. Fabienne Moore, many of his followers were! They were monarchist or even worse Naundorffist.
Many French martinists believed Karl Wilhelm Naundorff's claims to the French throne. They joined the Synarchy movement and formed the Ordre Martiniste et Synarchie (OMS).
Karl Wilhelm Naundorff, was buried in 1845 in the Dutch town of Delft with the epitaph: "Here lies Louis XVII, King of France." DNA analysis later disproved his claim though.
Lot’s of indications show us that Saunière supported Naundorff from 1891 as did two Popes, Leon XIII and Benoit XV. However there was no real proof of the identity of Naundorff, only assumptions. (Well hell, as a martinist, you ought to know that one should NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING)
By the time of his death, Naundorff was recognized by many including the Dutch government as Louis XVII and, thus, the heir to the French throne – but, alas, not by his own country of France.
Naundorffism has always flabbergasted me. I’ve always found it very difficult to believe, that this German watch- and clockmaker who hardly knew any French could possibly have been Prince Louis Charles (Louis XVII).
Nevertheless the Naundorffists did and even now some still believe this. So where Naundorffism, was never ever a part of martinism, a considerable number of martinists were staunch Naundorffists. "Il nous a été révélé que le destin de la renaissance européenne était attaché à la restauration de la monarchie française et que la branche directe des descendants de Louis XVI appelée Naundorff était élue par Dieu.”
In 1998 Belgian genetics professor J.J. Cassiman of the Leuven University) conclusively proved by means of DNA testing that Karl Wilhelm Naundorff was not a descendent of the Bourbons and therefore most definitely not Louis XVII. Dr. Cassiman and his associates compared DNA material taken from Mr. Naundorff's body with hair of the queen and two of her sisters that was found in lockets that had belonged to their mother. They found no matches.
But Naundorff's descendants do not give up though. Website for Naundorff, whose family is still trying to press through his claims that he’s the Lost king of France: http://www.louis-XVII.com
In 2004 Cassiman announced that tests conducted on the heart of the boy who died in prison proved once and for all that he was, in fact, Marie Antoinette’s son and Prince Louis Charles (Louis XVII).
