History of Events

Anti‑Semitism today, at the end of 2001, is the greatest of taboos. Racism generally is taboo, but most people of most races harbor racist attitudes. So, while being publicly branded a "racist" is damaging, the racist may rest assured that many understand that he is not the demon the media makes him out to be.

Anti‑Semitism, on the other hand, is more complex. Many third‑tier, commonsense racists do not understand why anyone would think negatively of jews. They are comfortable expressing dislike of blacks or other minorities based on crime rates or illegitimacy or drug use. But most may not even know any jews (or know they know jews). Jews, they assume, are white people who go to a different church. And why wouldn't they think this when well‑organized, highly funded Jewish groups have been diligently working for decades to create that very impression or, rather, that lack of impression, the most strategic of all impressions: invisibility.

Once one has the eyes to see them, their ubiquitous presence and culture destroying nature is obvious to the point of revulsion. Indeed, there is a reason why the founding fathers of America, as well as other world‑ renowned philosophers, writers, entrepreneurs and great leaders throughout history have warned against them. Many have openly scorned the jews as the most dangerous enemy to Western cultural integrity and European values, others have merely depicted the jew as the lecherous, deceptive creature it is. (There is nothing more "anti‑Semitic" or offensive to jews than depicting them accurately)

Are we to believe, as Jewish lapdogs in "our" media and classrooms and oval office would have us believe, that there is no truth to the views these men held? That their powerful intellects derail and plunge into the darkest depths of irrationality and venomous "hatred" regarding the Jews for no reason whatsoever?

Is it more logical to believe these men are all cursed with a morbid, unjustified dislike of a good and noble people, or that there are solid reasons for this express, consistent condemnation of Jewishness? The books we read in school reiterate the horror of the Holocaust (capital "H" trademarked) and the unjust persecution of the jews. But they fail to include the history of destruction wrought by jews on their "host" nations. This encourages us to believe exactly what is on its face absolutely absurd; that anti‑Semitism is a kind of irrational mental illness from which even the greatest minds may, and apparently usually do, suffer.

History is amazing. The history of the Jewish race in world culture is perhaps the most gruesomely fascinating phenomenon a person standing at the beginning of the 21st century may behold. Especially if they, like me, spent most of their life completely blind to the relevance of jews and their Jewishness in the world around them.

Need one read a dozen books, a hundred, a thousand  to grasp this history? Hardly. Below you'll find a consolidated time line of real racial terrorism. Through it the ages will race before you like clouds in a celluloid sky tumbling forward in thousands of frames per second. Watch the world you know come into being and disintegrate under your feet. Some of this; the latter years of the 20th century, should look familiar, as you've lived through it.

You will certainly recognize many of the names and events referenced. I wonder, though, how much of the context will ring true to you? How closely will this history, which focuses on the Jewish role in world events, match the interpretation of events as you understood them at the  time, or have been taught to understand them? How much will it differ? For VNN oldschoolers this may do no more than sketch in broad outline a horror story you understand all too well. For newcomers it may seem a time line of the preposterous itself, a history of the unthinkable, the impossible.

Jews of course still work as a rabid hive to demonize and destroy anyone who resists or speaks out in any way against the jews' agenda (this is "anti‑Semitism" as jews understand the term). Yet, for the first time since the jews' post‑war ascendency to political power and media control of public opinion, jews as jews are on the radar screen and criticism of jews is bursting the seams of a silence they thought they had all sewn up. Every newspaper, journal, and semitically correct magazine in America has become a veritable wailing wall. They all echo with the panicked cries and screeches of Jewish and gentile lapdog pundits scrambling to catch up to and stomp out the lit fuse of anti‑Semitism as it races to the powder keg of Pogrom v.2002. Good news is: They won't catch it. ITZ Coming. Indeed. And the yids are shitting matzo balls.

1203: Origin of The Illuminati Back in 1203 B.C.: From the official printing press of the Rosicrucians, it states: "In 1203 B.C., several of the Brothers of the Order who were of the Illuminati were commissioned to go into other lands and spread the secret doctrines by the establishment of other Lodges. It was quite apparent that Egypt was to be subjected to a devastation and that its great learning might be lost.

"It was finally decided that ‘no undue haste should be sanctioned in permitting the Brothers who have gone abroad to establish Lodges, but rather that those who travel here in search of the Light should be tried, and to those found qualified shall be given the commission to return to their people and establish a Lodge in the name of the Brotherhood.

It was this dictum; known as the ‘Amra,' that in later years proved the wisdom of the Councilors at this meeting, for it not only became a hard and fast rule, but made for the success of the plans of propagation. It was in this wise that the phrase ‘travel East for learning or Light' first came into use; for those who soon began to travel to Egypt came from the West. About the year 1000 B.C., there came to Egypt a character whose name is recorded as Aslomon." (Rosicrucian, Questions and Answers, with Complete History, H. Spencer Lewis, Ph.D., F.R.C., pp. 44‑45)

If this is true, Israel's King Solomon was trained in the Illuminati teaching. No wonder he allowed his wives to establish their own private booths to worship their false gods.

From the book Kabbalah by Charles Ponce which shows this symbol to be of occultic origin. It is one of the three greatest occultic or Satanic symbols. It had nothing to do with King David, but a 15th century teacher of the Kabbalistic teachings. "Solomon had the assistance of two who had traveled in Egypt as architects and artists; Huramabi of Tyre and one Hiram Abif. The Saloman brotherhood was closely watched by the fraternity in Egypt, which had removed its headquarters to Thebes again because of political changes and the warring invasions in the territory of El Amarna, which eventually reduced the entire community to ruins.

It was found that Saloman restricted his order to males and adapted a great many of the details of the Rosicrucian initiations and services. At first it was believed that he would apply to the Grand Lodge in Thebes for a charter and make his work a branch of the R.C., but it became apparent before the first assembly was held that he was not adhering to the Rosicrucian philosophy, for he used the sun as the exclusive symbol of his order.

Of the growth of the Saloman brotherhood, as it was officially called in all ancient documents, one may read in all literature bearing upon Freemasonry. it has evolved into a semi‑mystical, speculative, secret, fraternal order of power and great honor, gradually altering the principles laid down by Saloman, it is true, but doing so for the greater benefit of man. The Greeks were now coming to Hebes to study, and it was at this time that the world‑wide spread of the organization began." (Rosicrucian, Questions and Answers, with Complete History, H. Spencer Lewis, Ph.D., F.R.C., pp. 48‑49)

The Sadducees were constant opponents of the Pharisees and their imported Babylonian paganism, which they misrepresented as the Tradition of the Elders, the "Oral Law" transmitted privately to Moses and on down the line, superseding anything written in the Bible. In the six years of civil war between them and Alexander Jannaeus, King and High Priest of Jerusalem, 50,000 were killed on both sides before this Sadducean ruler succumbed and his widow Salome turned affairs over to the Pharisees in 79 B.C. Her brother, Simon ben Shetah, had been waiting for such an opportunity.

"It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors ‘never' lived in Palestine ‘at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact." (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History)

There are basically two concepts of religious theory in Judaism, the orthodox principle and the reformed principle. The Orthodox Jew is strictly a Talmudic worshiper. The Talmud {a written continuation of the Oral Laws of the Jews} was not compiled by one person, or at one time. Generations of scholars and jurists took a period of several centuries to complete it.

In one version, Rabbi Aschi began it in 327 A.D. and labored over it for sixty years; he was followed by Rabbi Maremar about the year 500 A.D. This part of the Talmud includes thirty‑six chapters of interpretations. For nearly 500 years after the Talmud was completed, the study of the Talmud produced a variety of theories, partly due to public calamities and partly caused by dissensions among the Jewish scholars. In the eleventh century, others wrote further editions to the Talmud, while present day rabbinical scholars still write their interpretation of the Jewish Law. The great confusion created by the different versions of Jewish Law has led many Jews to fall away from religious belief.

Several rabbis have verified that the Jewish congregation is predominantly agnostics and atheists. Weary of waiting for the coming of the Messiah, the Jews have tended to identify the Messiahship with the Jewish nation itself and not with any particular individual. This is the religion of the Reformed Jew. Regardless of whether a Jew is an Orthodox or a Reformed believer, almost all the Jews contribute and give their wholehearted support to their Zionist political government.

The Jews are the enemy of Christians. They tried to destroy The Lord Jesus Christ by Crucifying Him and persecuted His followers, killing and torturing them Historically speaking, scripture believers had accepted Christ as the Messiah foretold. They were no longer "Jews," but called themselves "Christians." These were the True Israelites, not Jews, the Jews have never accepted Christ, nor the Christian religion. They were persecuted as such by the Pharisees.

Jews kill Christ, or rather, have him killed, as some prefer. (Christ is born about 4 BC). Christ is indeed killed by Jews for, among other things, idolatry. At the time of the trial of Yahshua there were about twelve former high priests around, along with Caiaphas who was then the high priest; so these made up the "council of the high priests." In John 11:47‑48, (this is how it reads in the Greek): "Then assembled the high priests (and that's in the plural) and the Pharisees a high council, and said, "What are we doing? Because this man doeth many miracles. If we allow Him thus, all will believe in Him; and will come the Romans then and take away from us both the place and the nation." What were they referring to? They didn't fear because somebody was going around, as your Judeo‑Christian churches give you the picture of Christ, meekly whimpering that people ought to behave themselves and be good. Yahshua was reminding the people that nothing they had in their then existing religious or political system was according to the Laws of God.

When Herod the Great died, he left Judea "by will" to one of his sons Herod Archelaus, to be king over it, as the Romans had confirmed the first Herod as King of Judea. But the Romans "were not born yesterday," and they were not about to make an untried man king; so they confirmed Herod Archelaus merely as governor for a test period. From 4 B.C., to 6 A.D., a period of ten years, he gave the people of Judea about the most miserable misrule that any nation has had in history, with the exception of Russia from 1917 to the present time.

Remember that the Romans were hated as the alien conquerors who maintained rule by military force, so the people would not on any mere trifling ground of discontent ask the Romans to take over the complete government. They had been allowed (to keep them from being too discontented), a measure of local self government. But this was so intolerable that the people sent an embassy to Rome, complaining of what Herod Archelaus had done, until the Romans put him on trial, found him guilty, removed him, and exiled him into Gaul; and the people asked that a Roman governor be appointed in Judea. So the Romans appointed a series of procurators; Roman governors, of whom Pontius Pilate happened to be number six. So one of these Edomite Jews had become so unbearable that people wouldn't stand for it any longer and they complained to the Romans and the Romans removed him.

You can understand what the high priests were talking about, when they said, "We're not going to get away with our racket if we let this man continue educating the people. They'll complain to the Romans until the Romans take the rulership of this nation away from us." That is the reason they determined to murder Yahshua; not because they disliked His religious doctrines. If He was just a meek man of sorrows, that your Judeo‑Christian churches try to tell you He was, the Sadducees wouldn't even have bothered sneering at Him. But He was a threat to their power and for that they determined to murder Him.

It is doubtful if at any time in history you could find such a collection of unhung scoundrels as these high priests who were part of the Sanhedrin at the time of the trial of Yahshua. Among those we can trace is Simon Ben Boethus who was high priest for some period of time ending in 4 B.C., at the death of the first Herod. Joazar, who was the son of Simon, was high priest from 4 B.C. to 2 A.D. Eliazar, a second son of Simon Gen Boethus, was high priest three months in the year 2 B.C. Jesus Ben Sie was high priest from 2 to 6 A.D. Annas, mentioned in the bible (that's the first one before whom they brought Yahshua for a mock trial), was the father‑in‑law of Caiaphas, and had been high priest from the year 7 to the year 11 A.D. Ishmael Ben Phabi was high priest nine years, probably 14 to 22 A.D. Eleazar was again high priest, 23 to 24 A.D. Simon Ben Camithus, 24 to 25 A.D., and Caiaphas from 25 to 36 A.D. Also, there were a number of important priests that are largely related to annas who later became in their turn high priests and who were also in this "chamber of priests."

Massacre of the Jews at Alexandria. Beginning of revolt against Rome. Jews revolt against Roman rule as they become tired of the type of oppressive Roman taxes they now impose on modern Americans. Masses of Jews rioted and wiped out the small Roman garrison stationed in Jerusalem. Cestius Gallus, the Roman ruler in neighboring Syria, sent in a larger force of soldiers. But the insurgent Jews routed them as well. The next exchange would be different. The Romans returned with 60,000 heavily armed professional troops. The Romans first attacked in Galilee in the north, where they killed and sold into slavery an estimated 100,000 Jews. The Jews who survived the Galilee massacre fled to Jerusalem for their final stand and prepared for a siege by the Romans. During the summer of 70 AD, the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem, and initiated an orgy of violence and destruction. Shortly thereafter, they destroyed the Second Temple. This was the final and most devastating Roman blow against Judea. It is estimated that as many as one million Jews died in the revolt against Rome. This precipitated the Jewish diaspora leaving Judea and the movement from temple worship to decentralized Rabbinical Judaism. In addition, that great document of Jewish ethnocentrism, the Talmud Yerushalmi, was assembled in Tiberias, modern day Israel soon after the final Jewish defeat in Jerusalem.

Earliest Secret Chinese Societies. The earliest notice we have of a secret Chinese league is towards the close of the Han Dynasty (A.D. 185). Three patriots, having then associated themselves, defended the throne against the "Yellow Cap" rebels, a society numbering among its members the flower of Chinese littérateurs. From that time until the establishment of the Tartar dynasty (twelfth century), the League showed few sings of vitality. But at the beginning of the eighteenth century five monks and seven other persons bound themselves by an oath, which they ratified by mixing blood from the arm of each, and drinking it in common, to overthrow the Tsings, the Tartar dynasty, and restore the Mings, the dispossessed Chinese dynasty. The name of the society they founded was Pelin‑kiao, or the White Lily. The members relied on a prophecy that one of them should be emperor of China. The leaders were Wang‑lung and a bonze named Fan‑ui. The former made himself master of the town of Shoo‑chang‑hien, but was soon driven thence, and eventually captured, and executed with many of his followers.

In 1777 the Pe‑lin‑kiao again appeared, only to be defeated again; the heads of the leaders, including those of two women, were cut off and placed in cages for public inspection. In 1800 a sect called the Wonderful Association, and another, called the Tsing‑lien‑kiao, supposed to be the Pe‑lin‑kiao under a new name, conspired against the ruling dynasty, but unsuccessfully.

Under the reign of the Emperor Kia‑King (1799‑1820) arose the Th'iën‑Hauw‑Hoi'h, that is, the family of the Queen of Heaven, spread through Cochin‑China, Siam, and Corea, with its headquarters in the southern provinces of the empire. The society on being discovered and, as it was thought, exterminated, arose again under the name of the Great Hung League; Hung literally means flood, and the leaders adopted the name to intimate that their society was to flood the earth.

To avoid appearance of all belonging to one society, they gave different names, some borrowed from previously existing sects, to the branches they established. Thus they were known as the Triad Society, the Blue Lotus Hall, the Golden Orchid District, and others. These soon attracted the attention of Government, and for some time they were kept in check.

About 1826 the chief leader of the League was one Kwang San. It was reported that, to make himself ferocious he once drank gall, taken out of a murdered man's body, mixed with wine. He resided chiefly at the tin‑mines of Loocoot, where the brethren then swarmed. The directing power was vested in three persons; the chief, with the title of Koh, i.e., the Elder; the two others took that of Hiong Thi, i.e., Younger Brothers. In the Malacca branches the three chiefs were called Tai‑Koh, eldest brother, Ji‑Koh, second brother, and San‑Koh, third brother. The oath of secrecy was taken by the aspirant kneeling before an image, under two sharp swords.

While the oath was being administered the Hiong Ghi had also to kneel, the one on the right, the other on the left of the aspirant, and hold over his head the swords in such a fashion as to form a triangle. The oath contained thirty‑six articles, of which the following was the most important: "I swear that I shall know neither father nor mother, nor brother nor sister, nor wife nor child, but the brotherhood alone; where the brotherhood leads or pursues, there I shall follow or pursue; its foe shall be my foe."

The aspirant, with a knife, then made an incision into his finger, and allowed three drops of blood to fall into a cup of arrack; the three officials did the same thing, and then drank the liquor. In order further to ratify the oath, the newly‑sworn member cut off the head of a white cock, which was to intimate that if he proved untrue, his head should be cut off.

In 1850 Tae‑ping‑wang, the noted revolutionary leader, made a fresh attempt to restore the Ming dynasty, from whom he pretended to be descended. With his defeat and death the League again subsided into obscurity. In the spring of 1863 a quantity of books were accidentally found by the police in the house of a Chinaman, suspected of theft, at Padang (Sumatra), containing the laws, statutes, oaths, mysteries of initiation, catechism, description of flags, symbols, and secret signs of the League, all of which were published in English in a volume at Batavia in 1866.

But this discovery showed the League to be still in existence, and about the year 1870 it started into activity again; in Sarawk it assumed such a threatening aspect that the Government made a law decreeing death to every member ipso facto. The disturbances at Singapore in 1872 also were due to the secret societies of the Chinese in the Straits Settlements. On that occasion the Sam‑Sings, or "fighting men," were the chief rioters, taking the part of the street hawkers, against whom some severe regulations had been issued. Murder and incendiarism, torturing and maiming, are the usual practices of the League, which again made itself very obnoxious in 1883 and 1885.

The section of the "Black Flag," the remnant of the Taepings, as also the "White Lily," were the most active in their demonstrations against the Tsing dynasty. The last police reports from the protected state of Perak, in the Malay Peninsula, say that in 1888 secret societies "caused endless trouble and anxiety," although in 1887 four members of the Ghee Hin Association were sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment for conducting an agency for their society. half the Chinese in Perak are members of secret societies, tickets being found upon them whenever the police have occasion to search them.

The Straits Times of the 17th September 1889 contained full particulars of the trial of a number of prisoners who were proved to be members of the Ghee Hin or Sam Tian secret society at Sarawak. The six leaders were shot; eleven, being active members, carrying out orders of the leaders, beating, frightening, or murdering non‑members, were sentenced to receive six dozen strokes with a rattan, to have their heads shaved, to be imprisoned during the Rajah's pleasure; seven others, against whom no specific charges were made out, were dismissed on swearing to have no further dealings with the society.

Toward the end of the year 1895 a number of Mohammedans rose against the Chinese Government and captured the capital of the province of Kansu; the secret societies in Central China joined the Mohammedan insurgents. Their success, however, was of short duration; in the month of December of the same year the insurrection was crushed, and some fifteen of the leaders were captured and beheaded. Others made their escape. Among these was Sun Yet Sun, or, as he is also called, Sun Wen, a medical man, well known in Hong‑Kong. His being made a prisoner in the house of the Chinese Ambassador in London in the month of October 1896, until, at the instance of Lord Salisbury, he was released.

He asserted that he was kidnaped by the Chinese Ambassador's people, by being induced to walk into the Ambassador's house; but it is a curious circumstance that San Wen, who evidently knew something of London, should not have known where the Chinese Embassy was located, especially after all the excitement caused by Li Hung Chang's visit to the Continent and to England.

In justice to the Taepings and other secret associations in China, it must be stated that the insurrection was and is the war of an oppressed nationality against foreign invaders. The Mantchoos or Tsing dynasty are an alien tribe, ruling over the vast Chinese empire; their government was one of the most despotic the world has ever seen; their laws were so ruthless and unjust, that it would seem they could never be carried out, did not the blood of millions, perishing by every kind of frightful death that the most diabolical cruelty could invent attest the fact of their being obeyed. Yet British ministers did sanction the enlistment of British officers, Bible Gordon being their leader, what a satire! and men in the service of the Mantchoos, whom they further supplied with arms and artillery.

From the book published at Batavia, and mentioned above, we extract the following information: "The lodge is built in a square, surrounded by walls, which are pierced at the four cardinal points by as many gates; the faces are adorned by triangles, the mystic symbol of union. Within the enclosure is the hall of fidelity and loyalty, where the oaths of membership are taken. Here also stands the altar, and the precious nine‑storied pagoda, in which the images of the five monkish founders are enshrined. The lodges, of course, only appear in out‑of‑the‑way places, where they are safe from the observation of the Mandarins; in towns and populous neighborhoods the lodge is dispensed with; the meetings are held at the house of the president. The instruments of the lodge are numerous. First in importance is the diploma; then there are numerous flags; there is the ‘bushel,' which contains among other articles the ‘red staff,' with which justice is done to offenders against the laws of the society; the scissors, with which the hair of the neophytes is cut off; a jade foot measure, a balance, an abacus, etc.

"The supreme government is vested in the grand masters of the five principal lodges, and the affairs of each lodge are administered by a president, a vice‑president, one master, two introducers, one fiscal, thirteen councilors, several agents, who are otherwise known as ‘grass shoes,' ‘iron planks,' or ‘night brethren,' and some minor officials, who, as indicative of their rank, wear flowers in their hair...

"Henry Pottinger, in a despatch to Lord Aberdeen (1843), perhaps alludes to a secret society, saying: "The song being finished, Ke‑Ying, the Chinese commissioner, having taken from his arm a gold bracelet, gave it to me, informing me, at the same time, that he had received it in his tender youth from his father, and that it contained a mysterious legend, and that, by merely showing it, it would in all parts of China assure me a fraternal reception."

The Ko lao Hui: The secret society which at the present time seems to be the most powerful in China. It was at first a purely military association whose object was mutual protection against the plunder and extortion practiced by the civil officials in dealing with the pay and maintenance of the troops. It is believed that the initiation consists in killing a cock and drinking the blood, either by itself, or mixed with wine. It is also believed to use a planchet, whose movements are attributed to occult influence; gradually persons not connected with the army were admitted; the ticket of membership is a small oblong piece of linen or calico, stamped with a few Chinese characters. The possession of one of these, if discovered, entails immediate execution by the authorities.

The society is anti‑foreign and anti‑missionary, and is believed to be at the bottom of all the riots against foreigners, and especially against foreign missionaries, which have occurred in China. Of course, as long as missionaries, instead of making it their business to convert the heathens at home, will go among people who don't want them, and in China will establish themselves outside Treaty limits, they should be prepared to take the risks they voluntarily incur, but whenever attacked, they make the Chinese Government pay them liberally for any inconvenience or loss they may have suffered, of course, with the assistance of English gun‑boats.

In 1891 the Ko lao Hui, which is also anti‑dynastic, caused inflammatory placards to be posted up in various parts of the empire, which the authorities immediately tore down, only to be posted up afresh; the society also distributed anti‑missionary pamphlets, with titles such as: "The Devil Doctriners ought to be killed," wherein the missionaries are charged with every kind of crime against morals and life; the Roman Catholics are more severely handled than the Protestants.

In September 1891 it would appear that the society was organizing a rising against the Government, and a Mr. C.W. Mason, a British subject, and a fourth‑class assistant in the Customs at Shanghai, was implicated in the project, he having been instrumental in introducing arms and dynamite into the country for the use of the conspirators. He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labor and he was further at the expiration of that period, to find two sureties of $2500 to be of good behavior and failing in this he was to be deported from China. This latter happening on his release, he was sent out of the country in September 1892.

In November 1891 a famous Ko lao Hue leader named Chen‑kin‑Lung fell into the hands of the Chinese Government. He had been staying at an inn with about thirty of his followers. Gagged and bound, he was taken on board a steam‑launch kept ready to start, and carried to Shanghai. His examination was conducted with the greatest secrecy by the magistrate and deputies of the Viceroy and the Governor. On his person were found several official documents issued by the Ko lao Hui, and a short dagger with a poisoned blade.

He was addressed in the despatches as the "Eighth Great Prince," and was evidently the commander of a strong force. Three examinations were held, but Chen preserved the strictest silence. Torture was employed, but in vain; the only words that could be extracted form him were, "Spare yourselves the trouble and me the pain; be convinced that there are men ready to sacrifice their lives for the good of a cause which will bring happiness to this country for thousands of generations to come."

Then more gentle means were employed, but with what result is not known...That the popular feeling against Christian missionaries in China was and still is very strong cannot be denied, and has displayed itself in frequent attacks on their persons and property.

Such outbreaks are almost regularly reported in the European Press, but is not allowed to be known in the United States. A plain intimation was given to Sir Ratherford Alcock on his bidding adieu to a high Chinese official. "I wish," said the functionary, "now you are going home, you would take away with you your opium, and your Christian missionaries."...

The degrading fate of those who mock the wise becomes horribly apparent in the actual text of the Talmud.  "He said: What is your punishment? They replied with boiling hot excrement, since a Master has said: Whoever mocks at the words of the Sages is punished with boiling hot excrement." (Git. 56b)

Thrown Out: Jews have claimed over and over at every opportunity that they have been innocent victims of anti‑Semitism time and time again. They are always portrayed on television and in the movies as being guilty of no wrong doing, desiring only to practice their faith, and make an honest living. An inquiring mind cannot help but wonder that, if this is the case ‑ that the Jews are innocent ‑ why have the Jews been the brunt of persecution so many times without cause?

If a man were accused of a serious crime and tried and found guilty by a jury of his peers, we would find but little cause to put faith in a claim by him of persecution. However if he insisted that this was exactly the case, and that only because he believed differently than others was he charged of misconduct, then we might grant him a second trial to assure ourselves he had not been the victim of misjustice, believing with confidence that the people would not a second time find an innocent party guilty of crime that he did not commit.

If, at the conclusion of the second trial by another jury of peers, the man is found guilty of an offense against the people, we have no reason to listen to or place belief in continued cries of persecution. What does this have to do with the Jew? Quite simple. Since the year 250 A.D., the Jews have, by their own records and count, been expelled from eighty‑one (81) countries, nations, or political entities. Let's see now. Eighty‑one countries, eighty‑one people's courts, eighty‑one guilty verdicts, and eighty‑one cries of persecution.

The first time, maybe. The second time doubtful. But eighty‑one times to have been found worthy of expulsion for crimes against the people of the countries they were in at the time? Such a claim stretches the limits of human credulity beyond its most liberal bounds of endurance.

It has been said that the Jews protest to much. When one comes to the realization of the fact that these different peoples in most cases did not know of each other, or for that matter had not even heard of the others existence, and yet determined, independently, over a two thousand year span of time that the Jews were committing such serious crimes that it was necessary to uproot them lock, stock and barrel in order to drive them from their homes, many times with loss of life and great destruction of property, it is then and only then, that a true appreciation of the Jewish question is obtained.

The 1905 Jewish Encyclopedia, concerning the Pharisees, states:

"With the destruction of the Temple (70 A.D.) the Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. Henceforth, Jewish life was (is) regulated by the Pharisees; the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older priestly tradition. (Abot 1:1) Pharisaism {has} shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future."

Historically speaking, True Israelites have accepted Christ as the Messiah as foretold in the Scriptures. They were NOT JEWS and called themselves "Christians." They were persecuted as such by the Pharisees. In fact the word "Pharisee" comes from the word "separated," because they were separated and different from the True Israelites.

Rabbi Finklestein's history of the Jews, states: "The Talmud derives its authority from the position held by the ancient academies (Pharisee academies). The teachers of those academies, both of Babylonia and Palestine, were considered the rightful successors of the older Sanhedrin...

"At the present time, the Jewish people have no living central authority comparable in status to the ancient Sanhedrins or the later academies. Therefore, any decision regarding the Jewish religion must be based on the Talmud as the final resume of the teaching of those authorities when they existed." (The Jews ‑ Their History, Culture, and Religion, Vol. 4, p. 1332, Jewish Publication Society of America, 1949)

"The Talmud; Heart's Blood of the Jewish Faith," was the heading of a November, 1959, installment of a best‑selling book by the Jewish author, Herman Wouk, which ran serially in the New York Herald‑Tribune. "The Talmud is to this day the Circulating Heart's Blood of the Jewish Religion. Whatever laws, customs or ceremonies we observe, whether we are Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or merely spasmodic sentimentalists, we follow the Talmud. It is our common Law."

The Babylonian Talmud is composed of Mishnah (or "Halacha"), or laws, formulated by the Pharisees whose teachings comprise the Talmud, and "Gemara," or argumentative teachings about these laws. There are 63 books in the Babylonian Talmud, largely divided without topical organization.

All Talmud books have "Mishnah" (plural "Mishnaim"). Some lack a "Gemara." The "Mishnah" or law of one or another Pharisee may be referred to, for example, as the "Mishnah of Rabbi Akiba," or of "Eliezer ben Jacob." The name Mishnah is applied in particular to the collection of Halachoth, or laws, made by Judah Hanasi (generally known as Rabbi) and his colleagues at the beginning of the 3rd Century C.E. (Note: "C.E." stands for "Common Era," to avoid "A.D." or "Year of Our Lord," from the Latin, Anno Domini).

"The Mishnah represents the culmination of a series of attempts to bring order into the vast mass of traditions which had been transmitted orally for many centuries...The compilation of the Mishnah is not, however, the work of one man, or even of the scholars of one age, but rather the result of a long process extending over a period of two centuries.

"In the Palestine Pharisee Talmudic center at Jabneh (for it was never in Jerusalem but at Jabneh where the Jerusalem Talmud was composed) there was a concerted effort on the part of the sages of Jabneh (about 90 C.E.) to assemble and harmonize the Halachah...Akiba (died about 135 C.E.) arranged the Halachoth in logical order and probably constructed the frame work of the present day Mishnah; the collection of the Akiba was enlarged and brought up to date by his disciples Meir (Note: Who, the Talmud says, was a descendant of Nero, a convert to Talmudaism {Judaism}), it became the custom, after the time of Akiba, for every head of an academy to compile his own Mishnah so that the confusion that resulted...motivated Judah Hanasi to compile a standard authoritative Mishnah; although it is reported that Judah made use of thirteen different collections of alachoth in his work, his Mishnah is based largely upon the collection of Meir, and indirectly, therefore, upon that of Akiba." (Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, "Mishnah")

Judah Hanasi, who compiled the Mishnah, was born about A.D. 135 and died after A.D. 200 (same authority, "Judah Hanasi"). "Nasi," meaning "prince" of Jewry, was the title given the head of the Sanhedrin court (Beth Din), which meted out life and death under Talmudic Law. The Talmud is divided into six main divisions called "Sedarim" (orders), but each division and each volume is a hodge‑podge of every subject imaginable.

The main and overall characteristics of the Talmud are: pomp, silliness, obscenity and more obscenity, a setting up of laws seemingly for the purpose of inventing circumventions, and evasions; delight in sadistic cruelty; reversal of all Biblical moral teachings on theft, murder, sodomy, perjury, treatment of children and parents; insane hatred of Christ, Christians and every phase of Christianity. The Six Divisions of the Babylonian Talmud, called "Seder" (plural Sedarim), are:

1). Zeraim (seeds), composed of the following books:

a). Berakoth. The name of this book supposedly means benedictions, but is as foul a collection of  obscenity as one could find, with 405 pages of what is nothing but "privy talk."

The following 10 books occupy one 406‑page volume in the Soncino edition:

b). Pe'ah (corner).

c). Demai (doubtful).

d). Kil'ayim (mixtures).

e). Shebi'th (seventh).

f). Termuah (heave offerings). 

g). Ma'aseroth (tithes).

h). Ma'aser Sheni (second tithe).

I). Hallah (dough).

j). ‘Oriah

k). Bikkurim (first fruits).

There are 11 books in Zeraim.

2). Seder Moed (festivals):

a). Sabbath (laws of endless silly regulations and their evasions).

b). Erubin (mingling).

c). Pesahim (passover).

d). Shekalin (shekels).

e). Yoma (Yom Kippur).

f). Sukkah (booths).

g). Yob Tob (feast day).

h). Rosh Hashona (New Year).

I). Ta'anit (fasting).

j). Megillah (Scroll of Esther, read on Purim).

k). Moed Katan (half feasts).

l). Hagiagah (feasting).

The Megillah is a sadistic celebration of drunkenness and bloodlust, the Talmudic admonition being that it is the day of the Jew to be so drunk on Purim he doesn't know the difference between "Blessed be Mordecai" and "Cursed be Haman." 

There are 12 books in Moed.

3). Seder Nashim (women). This section includes a 13‑page introduction to the Soncino edition by Rabbi J.H. Hertz. These books are principally distinguished by their sub‑sewer filth and obscenity:

a). Yebamoth (the dead brother's widow) occupies 2 volumes, 871 pages in the Soncino edition.

b). Kethuboth (on the sum due a wife who is divorced, occupies 2 volumes and 728 pages of Talmudic sex filth (e.g. a baby girl                being fair prey for adult men).

c). Nedarim (vows): 282 pages of filth and immorality, illustrative of what Christ denounced when attacking the Pharisees.

d). Nazir (more vows); 253 pages in the Soncino edition, hairsplitting, immoral twaddle, and including the Kol Nidre.

e). Soth (the suspected woman), 271 pages in the Soncino edition.

f). Kiddushin (betrothal).

g). Gittin (on getting the "Get" or divorce) with space allotted for such things as placing Christ and all Christians in Hell,

439 pages in the Soncino edition.

There are 7 books in the Nasham.

4). Seder Nezikin (damages):

a). Baba Kamma (the first gate): 719 pages of Talmudic ramblings, a general law on damages being that hurting Gentile property is permissible; injuring Jewish property is like assaulting the Divine, for only "Jews" are "men" and  non‑Jews rank as animals. This is "brotherhood" as advocated in the Talmud.

b). Baba Mezia (middle gate): 676 pages in Soncino edition of similar import.

c). Baba Bathra (last gate): 779 pages in two volumes and replete with anti‑Gentile preaching.

d). Sanhedrin (781 pages): States the introduction in the Soncino edition of the Talmud: "It forms, along with Makkoth, the chief repository of the criminal law of the Talmud." This section includes the most virulent calumnies of Jesus, including His imaginary stoning, burning in dung, His decapitation, His strangling in dung, His hanging, or crucifixion for "blaspheming" the Pharisee "sages."

e). Makkoth (beatings), 175 pages in the Soncino edition.

f). Shebuoth (oaths, more vows), 309 pages.

g). Edayyoth (testimonies).

h). Abodah Zarah on treatment of the presumably non‑human, non‑Jew, 366 pages.

I). Aboth (sayings of the fathers of Talmudism).

j). Horayoth (rulings).

There are 10 books in Seder Nezikin.

5). Seder Kodashim (sacrifices):

a). Zebahim (bloody sacrifices).

b). Menahot (meal offering).

c). Hulin (killing).

d). Bekorot (first born).

e). Arakin (estimation).

f). Temurah (exchange).

g). Keritot (extermination).

h). Me'ilah (trespass).

I). Tamid (daily offering).

j). Middot (measures).

k). Minim (birds' nests).

There are 11 books in Kodashim.

6). Seder Tohoroth (cleanness):

a). Niddah (the menstruant woman) is the prize part in this alleged religious section, devoting 509 pages to discussing smell, color, and examination by the rabbis of menstruation, without apparent medical or any other purpose except wallowing in the repulsive; pomp and asininity also abound.

The other 11 books occupy one 589‑page volume in the Soncino edition.

b). Kelim (vessel, utensil cleanness) illustrates through "nit‑picking" rules the "straining at a gnat," cited  by Christ (Matthew 23:24); also: "Pharisees make clean the outside of cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness." (Luke 11:39)   

c). Oholoth (tents).

d). Nega'im (plagues).

e). Parah (young cow).

f). Tohoroth (purification).

g). Mikawaoth (ritual bath ‑ such as the menstruant woman should take before having intercourse with her husband, thus ridding her of the evil eye).

h). Makshirin (kosher, proper).

I). Zabim (flux).

j). Tebul Yom.

k). Yadayim (hands).

l). The last book of Tohoroth is Ukzin (stems). There are 12 books in Tophoroth.

The last 11 of these (excepting Niddah) occupy one 589‑page volume in the Soncino edition. The 1,098 pages on ‘cleanness,' filled with the foulest obscenities of thought, once again justify Christ's disdain for this hypocrisy and serve to illustrate the justification for His attitude toward the Talmudic Pharisees.

The persecution and destruction of White Christian people by the Jews is not a recent thing but reaches far back into history. Writing in April, 1921 issue of the "Hebrew Christian Alliance Quarterly," the Rev. M. Malbert stated:

"I am going to show that real religious persecution is uniquely Jewish...In the time of Justinian, in the sixth century, the Jews massacred Christians in Caesarea and destroyed their churches. When Stephanus, the governor, attempted to defend the Christians, the Jews fell on him and slew him. In 608 A.D. the Jews of Antioch fell upon their Christian neighbors and killed them with fire and sword...About 614 A.D. the Persians advanced upon Palestine and the Jews, after joining their standard, massacred the Christians and destroyed their churches. Ninety thousand Christians perished in Jerusalem alone." (The International Jew, Vol. IV (1922), pp. 171, 173)

New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, page 179,[GCP pg. 68] "ASHKENAZI, ASHKENAZIM...constituted before 1963 some nine‑tenths of the Jewish people (about 15,000,000 out of 16,5000,000)[ As of 1968 it is believed by some Jewish authorities to be closer to 100%]"

The Catholic Church and its' surrogate ruler, the English king, disagreed over the division of rents, taxes and tithes taken from the people. The English king had his own champion; a Catholic priest named John Wycliffe. His weapon was the Bible. A serious ecclesiastical argument by a king with the Church over money was something that had not happened in a thousand years, and it caused consternation in the ranks of the Catholic Church.

Wycliffe knew the Bible, He pointed to a place where it said that monopolies were forbidden, especially land‑monopolies, that the land was to be divided and never ever sold. (God's Law: "Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, and they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth." (John 5:8) "The land shall not be sold for ever." (Leviticus 25:23) Wycliffe had known this for a long time, but he couldn't speak out and challenge the Catholic Church unless he had someone to protect him from being burned alive as a heretic.

The princes of England were glad to give him their protection; there was a lot of money at stake. He was talking their language when he told the world that God said that land‑monopolies were illegal, illegal for the Church, that is. The princes paid Wycliffe to attend all the conferences they held with the Pope's representatives. He was their "expert witness," and they paid him 20 shilling a day for doing it, a royal income in that time. As their in‑house ecclesiastic‑lawyer he argued their case and they protected him from a Roman Church that was irate because one of their employees had switched sides and let the cat out of the bag on this land‑monopoly thing. (He now publicly proclaimed the doctrine that righteousness is the sole title to dominion and to property, that an unrighteous clergy has no such title, and that the decision as to whether or not the property of the ecclesiastics should be take away rests with the civil power." (Encyclopedia Britannica 14th ed, vol. 23, p. 822)

In 1366, he published his "Determiatio quaedam de dominio" supporting parliament in refusing the tribute demanded by Pope Urban V. (Encyclopedia Britannica 14th ed, Vol. 23, p. 822) The controversy continued:

"As soon as parliament met in the autumn of 1377, Wycliffe was consulted by it as to whether or not it was lawful to allow that treasure to pass out of the country in obedience to the pope's demand." (Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th ed,

Vol. 23, p. 823)

Wycliffe quoted scripture proving that it was unlawful to do so. Wycliffe was indispensable; from being the Pope's churchman, he was acting as the Princes'‑churchman‑a state priest. He said things that the Roman church burned people for saying, those people who had no protection.

Wycliffe suggested to the king that the quickest way for the king to gain the support of the people was to allow them to read the scriptures and determine for themselves who was right; the prince or the pope. The King's council agreed; but to do this, a Bible in English would be needed since most of the people who could read couldn't read the Latin Vulgate. Wycliffe agreed to translate the Bible from Rome's Latin Vulgate into English; thereby depriving the Church of the monopoly on the Holy Scripture that they had had for a thousand years.

The Bible is an operation manual for all who study it. With the Bible to guide; the warts on the nose of the Roman Church became visible to all. Wycliffe not only translated the Bible, but wrote books expounding the doctrines he had discovered, things that were eagerly read by reform‑minded Catholic priests all over Europe. In rapid succession he wrote the following arguments and pronouncements:

* De civli dominio: His argument was that for the clergy to hold property is sinful, and that it is lawful for statesmen; God's stewards, to take away the goods of a clergy no longer obedient to God.

* Wycliffe recommended that the king take possession of the property claimed by Rome, including all the Church‑owned monopolies in England as a "divine right."

The king liked that. Other kings in other countries liked that, Land‑monopoly, the church's biggest prize, was getting within reach. Why should kings split the peasants' tithe and the merchants' rents and taxes with the church? After all, wasn't England protected by an English Channel if the Church called down a crusade on her head?

* He declared that the doctrine of arbitrary divine decrees of papal infallibility was anathema.

The Bible determines right and wrong. Many priests like that one.

* Based on the cornerstone truth that "In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the WORD was God" the laws, statutes and judgments; and that the Pope was violating the WORD, he found the Pope to be an antichrist (See vol. Ii. Of the Sermones, Book iii. Of his Opus evangelicum entitled De Anticristo)

Later reformers picked up on this one. The Pope didn't like being called an "antichrist" anymore than today's Pope and antichrist protestant preachers enjoy being labeled with the antichrist tag.

* Knowing that acorns don't fall far from the oak, he pronounced that all "Church Order" were liable to the same corruption.

This put the Roman Church on one side and the king and his supporters on the other. The people were the balance.

* The argument in his last book Opus evangelicum, proclaimed his insistence on the "sufficiency of Holy Scripture."

Today, this argument is accepted by all Protestants, and many Catholics, in theory. Back then, it was heresy; it put limits on what the Church could do. The Church (an the princes), could either submit to the Word and obey its commandments, or fight the Word, and destroy those who demanded obedience to it. Both chose to give lip service to the first and to follow the latter course.

* It was his discussions from the scripture that brought forth the doctrines of "free‑will," "merit," and "predestation."

Calvin later added "grace," and Wycliffe's "merit" proved that the "grace" resulted in salvation. It is hard to have one without the other in spite of the thief crucified with Yahshua who had no time to do good works.

* With his new Bible in hand, Wycliffe trained "poor preachers" who spread out over England taking the Word to all who would listen.

The day of the itinerant preacher had arrived and the Word went directly to the people, and the common people loved it. They rejoiced in the clear and homely doctrine which dwelt chiefly on the simple "Law" illustrated by the parables contained in the gospels. Unknown to both King and Church, England's people were being taught that their God, the Word, had promised them wonderful things. These things were there, all around them, if only they would take them for themselves. After all, it was their land the King and Church were squabbling over, it was they who actually produced the wealth upon which both King and Church fed.

Each time the Church came after Wycliffe, he appealed for protection from the king, and got it. (John Huss later raised Wycliffe's doctrine to the dignity of a national religion. Many of the works attributed to Huss were actually the works of Wycliffe. Huss, Luther and other continental reformers owed Wycliffe much, and the spirit of the English reformer permeated the reformed churches of Europe)

                                                                                                          1381

The Peasant's Revolt: While kings and prelates argued over who was to get the land‑monopoly with its tithes and rents, the people had been listening and learning that God said that land was not to be a church‑monopoly, nor a prince‑monopoly, but that it was to be divided among the people and never ever sold. The Bible said that the land was not to be taxed, that the Bible said that God had made the children of Israel "kings and priests" not the Kings or the Roman Church. Of course, the poor preachers who preached to the people had no mighty protector to protect them when they condemned land‑monopolies, usury‑monopolies, and taught the Biblical stories about the Phineas Priesthood. Both the Church and the King could hang them out to dry, so they "whispered." They were so quiet that neither the prince nor the confessionals of the priest revealed that they were whispering, or what they were whispering about.

Matters came to a head in 1381 when Archbishop Sudbury ordered the king to collect from every adult additional tribute in the form of a poll tax. Rich or poor the tax was the same. The poorest family had to provide his three goats. All hell broke loose, the people weren't going to do it. Scripture said that Christians were not to be taxed. (God's Law: "Of whom the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of strangers? Peter said unto him, of strangers." (Gr. Allorios foreign, not akin)...Then are the children free." (Matthew 17:25‑26) All England burst into flame from coast to coast, from city to city, and town to town. Castles and manors were burned. Tax collectors, priests, and lawyers were hunted down and butchered along with proctors (overseers), unjust judges and rulers. County, manor, castle, and town militias armed themselves and gathered. In an age when 8,000 men made a respectable army, the English peasant army numbering 100,000 gathered and elected Wat Tyler their leader. John Ball, a poor preacher, was his religious advisor. They marched on London, the Londoners were equally oppressed by the church monopolizing manufactures and trade. London's city aldermen opened the city's gates and the rural army joined the city's disaffected militias and together they began hunting down unjust churchmen, judges, lawyers, foreigners, and Lombards (bankers). (God's Law is simple and just. Most of man's statues are unjust. Each one is passed to shave a bit from God's Law and give advantage to special interests. Judges and lawyers, instrumental in destroying justice, were hated by the people) Whole areas were burnt.

They demanded to be freed from being slaves of the manor. They demanded freedom from taxes and the tithe, and they demanded the right to rent land at four‑pence an acre as freemen rather than being the property of the manor. These peasants were armed with long‑bows and most arrived in their manorial militia companies. Many of them had fought in the king's wars with France. The week before they were humble serfs, now, united, they were the most powerful force in the world; and they were armed.

Wat Tyler and his followers met with the royal party of Richard II, a boy aged 14. Most peasant demands seem modest by today's standards, that they not be treated as villains (manor‑slaves), be allowed to rent their land at four‑pence an acre, be able to move away when they liked, be given relief from and cassation of countless rents, dues, taxes, and tithes.

These demands were granted; Royal letters were written to local governors, and everything was put in a charter. The English love charters. While this was going on, more ecclesiastics were hunted down and dispatched by peasant vigilantes. The next day when they arrived to meet with the king, Tyler had consulted with his poor‑preacher advisors and had expanded the peasant demands to include the division of the land among the people as required by scripture. This was the real heart of the matter.

Taking the church land‑monopoly from the Catholic Church and dividing it among the king's supporters "en fief" to the king rather than Rome was the prize the king and his party had planned to take for themselves. Now, the peasants demanded this land for their own. The peasants in essence rejected both King and Church and meant to take what was their own land back again. A king without a kingdom was no longer a king.

The king's party made ready to deal with these trusting peasants. After, all, they had a kingdom to lose or a kingdom to gain, their future rode on the success of their plans. They negotiated with the peasants to disarm their suspicions. It was planned that when next they met, a SWAT team composed of the mayor of London and twelve of his supporters would suddenly rush Wat Tyler, and cut him down. Everything went as planned.

When Tyler got close enough, the assassination party drew concealed weapons and rushed Tyler, killing him. (The terminal lesson is that violators of the Word can never be trusted. A thief, a liar, or a usurer will also murder) The people were left without a spokesman. Thousands of peasants drew their bows and the lives of the king's party hung by a thread, one bowman loosing his arrow would have caused a thousand more to fly, but before the arrows could be loosed, the young king boldly rode forward and said that he would be their leader. In essence, the wolf told the sheep that he would protect them and the sheep foolishly believed him.

The king rode back to the safety of the Tower of London and issued orders to his armies to attack the peasants. The chivalry of England, knights in full armor, went after the peasants slaying indiscriminately. The king quickly annulled the freedoms he had just granted and hanged the peasants by the hundreds.

Tyler's advisor, the people's preacher John Ball, when condemned, confessed that he learned his subversive doctrines from Wycliffe. William Courtenay, who succeeded the executed Archbishop Sudbury, the author of the poll tax that had touched off the revolt; as Archbishop of Canterbury, resolved to stamp out the Wycliffe heresy, including Wycliffe himself. He called a council of bishops, theologians and canonists at the Blackfriars' Convent. But the king still needed Wycliffe, so he remained at large and was unmolested. After all, the king had to have a theological lawyer to support his claim to the church's land‑monopoly. Neither the king nor the Church needed a third claimant to step in; peasants aroused by learning Christian teachings. The prince and church disagreed on almost everything except that. They still do.

The slaughter of peasants continued until there was no evidence of rebellion left. Those Protestants who were left alive kept very quiet, but they did not go away. Today we are regaled in story after story of how Catholics slaughtered Protestants. This is true; however, the story glossed over by the establishment church is that it was the "state‑protestant" appointed by the king who slew peasant‑Protestants by the thousands. "State Protestantism" defends the king's gold as aggressively as the Catholic Church defends its gold.

                                                                                                       Lollards

The Wycliffe rebellion was the emergence of something new. It was not another warmed over "Paulican" struggle for Church wealth, between Church and King, or a new "wannabe" rival. Wycliffe's Bible had released the Word into the minds and hearts of the people The Word itself was the leader, it was something that could not be reasoned with, or, as it turned out, stamped out. The people were following a leader who was not "the King and his appointed preachers," nor "the Church and its appointed kings" it was God the Word who Himself stood against both King and Priest. It was no longer the 1st and 2nd castes of priest and king suppressing the 3rd and 4th castes of farmer‑merchants and workers. The vision that was not followed was "Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven."

Wycliffe's secret followers were called "Lollards." After Wycliffe's death in 1384, the "poor‑preachers" that he had trained quietly used Wycliffe's Bible to declare the authority of the Word into the late 14th and early 15th centuries. They were highly critical of the wealth and power of the church. In time they won the support of Oxford scholars, country gentlemen, wealthy merchants, powerful nobles, and the masses of common people.

The Lollards were subject to more and more persecution. Executions were continuous. To set the example, King Henry V even brought his friend, the popular Sir John Oldcastle, to trial and then burned him at the stake. The Lollards remained underground where they survived to await another day. They were not custodians of the Word. Their time would come once more,

it was inevitable. Wycliffe had loosed the Word in the land

                                                                                                      1372‑1415

John Huss was a Czech religious reformer. He was an ordained priest who came under the influence of the writings of John Wycliffe and became the leader of the Catholic‑Slav reformation. He too criticized the church's wealth and corruption and he supported Wycliffe's doctrines. Gradually losing the support of the Catholic clergy, he was forbidden to preach and was excommunicated in 1411. One after another he was abandoned by the archbishop, king and university. Given safe conduct by Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor, he traveled to Constance in 1414. He should have known better. The policy of an episcopacy may vary considerably from those of the god of the presbytery:

"A man who has been excommunicated by the Pope may be killed anywhere." (Theological Moralis, Busenbaum‑Lacroix, 1757)

"Any person who has promised security to the heretics shall not be obliged to keep his promise." (Council of Constantine; Fifty Years In the Church of Rome, Chiniquy, Chick Publication, Chino, CA 1985, p. 288)

At Constance he was arrested, condemned for heresy, and burned at the stake.

Huss rejected the absolute author of pope and the Church. He asserted the authority of Scripture over the church. His execution ignited the Hussite revolt by his followers who spread Slavic‑Protestant teachings among the Slaves of central Europe. (The Word passing through the Slav filter, become Slavic. Because of the Law, it is a twisting of the Word; a form of Paulicanism. However, Slavs are our close kinsmen. We own them and they owe us. And, they too have suffered at the hands of a common enemy)

After Huss's death his followers, the Hussites, spread throughout Bohemia and Moravia teaching the supremacy of Wycliffe's teachings over the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In time they split into two faction; one faction wished to retain episcopal government and traditional ritual. The other wished to return to a primitive simplicity, conform to scriptural mandates, and proposed warfare to subdue God's enemies and transgressors of the Law. This group provided the main military force of the Hussite revolution which seized church lands and destroyed church property.

The pope called for a counter‑reformation crusade against the Hussites. The Hussites, fighting from heavily built wagons containing cannon, repeatedly defeated their opponents. In time they were worn down to a handful who sought safety in the hills. Some joined the Catholic church, others joined Luther's revolt. The non‑violent group of Hussites survived and has come down to us in the form of the Moravin Church.

Ulrich Zwingli was a leader of the Swiss reformation. A Catholic priest, he became a chaplain to Swiss mercenary troops hired to fight in the Italian campaigns. He became convinced that hiring men as mercenaries to kill other men was a great evil. (This is a lesson that the U.S. must again learn. If the price is right, currently, U.S. mercenaries will destroy any people or nation on earth)

On his return home he continued his Bible studies; which led him to drop his papal subsidy, and attack ecclesiastical buses. He allowed his followers to eat mean on fast days, and married in violation of Church prohibition. Zwingli's Sixty‑seven Articles became the basis for the Swiss Reformed Church. Zwingli was responsible for extending the reformation to other Swiss cities: Bern, Ballen, and Basel. Zqingli was killed on the battlefield of Kappel in 1531 defending Zurich from the counter‑reformation crusade by the Catholic cantons of southern Switzerland who had been sent by the papacy.

Luther: The Reformation proper is said to have started in Germany on October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther, an Augustinian Catholic priest, posted his "95 Theses." The "Theses" invited debate over the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church. The papacy views this as heresy and proceeded to take steps against Luther.

Luther was protected from the Catholic Church by Frederick III, elector of Saxony. Frederick extended his protection over Luther in exchange for Luther's endorsement of his seizing church property; in the same manner as Wycliffe had been used earlier by the King of England. Luther's writings invited the Christian Nobility of the German Nation to reform the church themselves. He attacked the papacy and its view of the mass; the Catholic teaching that the bread and wine of communion was miraculously changed into the actual blood and flesh of Yahshua. (God's Law: "Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off (destroy him) from among his people." (Genesis 9:4) He said that the people were being taught to be canabal‑like; eathing God's flesh.

He translated the New Testament into German, and wrote the Small and Large Catechisms, countless sermons, hymns, and over 100 volumes of tracts, biblical commentaries, thousands of letters, and then translated the whole Bible into German. In the German states where protestant princes supported him, he organized Evangelical churches. He abolished confession and private mass. Priests were allowed to marry and monasteries were abandoned. Preaching the Word, he sowed the wind.

                                                                                                      1524‑1526

The German Peasants War: The Peasants' War was precipitated by Luther's bible. Luther had gotten the backing and protection of the princes by preaching the same things Wycliffe had taught more than a century before. In exchange for being allowed to preach the Word and to secure protection from being executed by the Catholic Church for doing it, Luther taught that the princes were more entitled to Church lands and the income from those lands than was the Church. He also taught that the Church was corrupt, which it was, and still is. Luther's message was democratic. Its force and directness added fuel to the discontent smoldering for generations alongside natural anti‑clericalism.

Seven years after Luther's attack on the indulgence system (Indulgences: a certificate guaranteeing forgiveness for uncommitted sins), the peasants had learned their God given rights and revolt broke out. It was sudden; the standard, a peasant's wooden shoe, a "clog" on a pole.

In June 1524, encouraged by the successful bid for freedom made by the Swiss, many cities, knights, and even princes came to terms with the insurgents and joined their ranks. The rebels put forward a religious and social program, a basic demand was that each village be allowed to elect its own pastor who wasn't appointed by the Catholic Church. They made another demand, that Church land be divided among the peasants. This demand was to separate the peasants from the ruling kings.

Many of the prince‑ecclesiastics felt that it would be better strategy to have the Church land that was under their management divided into many peasant's farm holdings than it was to have it given to individual protestant princes, thereby making the princes powerful opponents. Amongst these ecclesiastical "friends of the farmers" were the elector‑palatine, the Bishops of Bamberg and Speyer and the Abotts of Fulda and Hersfeld.

Then too, by being agreeable and negotiating, they might save their heads and maybe retain some land and income. Being disagreeable put them in double jeopardy. The covetous Lutheran princes on one side were poised to seize their land and on the other side the peasants already had it.

Much of Europe went up in flames as the peasants wreaked havoc on their ancient oppressors. According to the Encyclopedia Briticannica, 14th ed, Vol. 23, p. 265: "There was much secularization of church property, suppression of monasteries and introduction of the Lutheran service in many churches."

However, this revolt was playing hob with the agreement that Luther had made with Philip of Hess. Philip was a major figure in Germany at that time. Luther had agreed to support Philip's claim to church land in exchange for his protection. Philip could get the land only if he secured Luther's help to suppress the peasants' revolt.

Luther was now caught between a rock and a hard place. Both the Word contained in the Bible that he had translated and his teachings triggered the insurgents. At first he sympathized with them and wrote a pamphlet protesting the harsh measures used against them. But Philip was threatened with losing the coveted Church property to the upstart peasants. Luther was the reason for this, and if he lost this land he would have no economic reason to protect Luther from the tender mercies of the Catholic Church. Being faced with the loss of Philip's protection and the possible loss of the whole reformation movement, including his head, caused Luther to reconsider.

Luther chose to cast his lot with the Princes against the peasants. He wrote another tract Against The Murdering Thieving Hordes of Peasants. This latest tract breathed fire and slaughter down on the peasants. The main revolt was subdued before the end of 1525, it ended in disaster. Peasant outrages and propaganda against them had united the princes, and when they had the upper hand they wreaked outrages of their own in a ferocious vengeance on the people. The protestant‑princes retrieved the land‑monopoly from the protestant‑peasants that the peasants had retrieved form the Catholic Church.

                                                                               The Teutonic Order Switches Sides

A notable event of 1525 was the action of Albert of Hohenzollern, grand master of the Teutonic Order, who, supported by most of his knights, declared for Luther, secularized the property of the Teutonic Order and made himself the personal ruler of its territory between Poland and the Baltic. (Encyclopedia Briticannica, 14th ed, Vol. 23, p. 265) This defection was stunning. The Teutonic Order of the Catholic Church was the principal warrior priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church.

                                                                                   Lutheranism ‑ A State Religion

Since the peasant rebels had in nearly all cases claimed religious sanctions for their acts, the peasants were allowed to keep Luther's bible so as not to unduly antagonize them. However, to safeguard the possession of the new property acquired from the Catholic Church plus the property taken away from the rebellious peasants the princes demanded that new Lutheran pastors be appointed by episcopal means, "from the top down," rather than presbyterian, "from the bottom up." The princes were to have veto power over the selection of Lutheran bishops. This gave the German princes power over what was to be taught the people by Lutheran pastors. In this manner Lutheranism became a "state‑religion" in the service of the princes.

Princely selection of Lutheran Bishops forced Lutheran priests to teach only the one third of the Bible not dealing with government. State‑Protestantism was a revival of the ancient "Paulicanism" by which nothing but Pauline scriptures are used to disprove the Word rather than the correct method of using Paul to prove the Word. The protestant princes were adamant, they had no intention of losing their lands again to peasants who had become religious zealots, the way the Catholic Church lost their lands to them; just because the Bible said "the land is to be divided and never sold." The blood bath that resulted from the peasants' revolt was not a Catholic atrocity, but state‑Protestantism drowning peasant‑Protestants in a sea of blood to prevent them from taking back their land.

Besides Germany, "state‑Lutheranism" of the Princes became the state‑religion of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. As a state‑religion of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. As a state‑religion, Lutheranism could not be turned against the rulers of the state. The preachers attempting to do so would be fired. In revised form and as a popular movement, state‑Lutheranism penetrated Hungary, Transylvania, Moravia, Bohemia and Poland.

Roman Catholicism, the religion of the Latin nations and Poland, except for brief periods, had always tolerated corruption as a way of life, it still does. The Protestant state‑churches of Europe and America are better in degree only; if at all. The great thing accomplished by Luther's revolt is that the Bible was released from a thousand year captivity and the Word was loose in the land. (At Fishburne Military School in the 1940s, the bible instructor was a Lutheran pastor. He was one of the best. Much of American Lutheranism has been influenced by religious dissenters escaping Europe's state‑religions who owe allegiance to the entire Word, not just the politically accepted one‑third of the Bible)

                                                                                            The Paulican Revival

Taking part in the Protestant Revolt were Anabaptists, so named because of their opposition to infant baptism. Most were sincere lawful reformists, but some were Paulicans; they rejected the restraints of the Law contained in the Word. They formed communes of seized property and held it under a leader rather than dividing it. They also indulged in sexual license. The aberrations were harshly suppressed along with the general suppression of the peasants.

                                                                                                      1012‑1744

Jews are kicked out of the following countries, not once but many times: France, Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Prussia, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, and most other countries in Europe, Christian or not. They are kicked out due to their collective, objectively measurable negative impact on these cultures, not due to some groundless, irrational, blind "hatred," as Jews today would have you believe.

                                                                                                      1494‑1536

The Counter Reformation: Wycliffe (1328‑1384) set things in motion with his translation of the bible. About a century and a half later, William Tyndale (1494‑1536) translated the New Testament into the English vernacular. Fearing that Henry VIII would kill him for making a Bible translation that would teach people their rights, he moved to Germany to get his work printed. Even there his work was protested, and legal injunctions for a time halted his printing. Beginning again, he translated much of the Old Testament and wrote many tracts, all causing consternation when they arrived back in England. King Henry demanded that he be returned to England for spreading sedition. In 1535 he was betrayed by a friend, Henry Philips, in Belgium, condemned as a heretic, strangled at the stake and his body was burned. This was one more case of an episcopal protestant state‑religion defending its master, the king.

                                                                                                      1509‑1564

Lutheran tracts and missionaries spread the protestant movement to France. One convert was a Jewish Catholic priest named John Calvin. His beliefs came under attack, and he was forced to flee to Geneva, Switzerland, where he helped organize a great evangelical organization. His book Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536) had great influence in Scotland and France. In France, the Protestants, called Huguenots, became very strong, and in 1559, two thousand congregations met to organize a nationwide church.

John Calvin, John Knox, and other reformers translated the Bible into English; a different translation from Wycliffe's translation which had come from the Catholic Vulgate. It was called the Geneva Bible. The unique thing about this bible was that it contained margin notes by the reformers in small print expounding sections that many found difficult to understand. In this way, the finest brains of the Reformation put their collective opinions into a record that was read by practically every household in Britain. The result was so incendiary that King James was forced to authorize a new Bible to replace it; the one we know today as the King James version.

The first settlers to America brought the Geneva Bible and dispensed Law from it. It referred to the patriarchs as "our fathers," thereby taking the title "Israel" from Britain's Episcopal Church and Rome's Catholic Church for themselves as being the nation of Israel scattered throughout the West. This is an important claim. (Israel ‑ Heb: Yisra'el ‑ "He will rule as God... also his posterity." Strong's Concordance)

Calvin is considered the father of British Protestantism; Close attention was paid to the things he wrote, such as:

"How absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of kings, who, when He has opened His sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to Him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in Him. If they command anything against Him, let it go un‑esteemed." (Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion, The Westminister Press, Philadelphia, 1960, Book 4: Chapter 20: Paragraph 32)

"I know with what great and present peril this constancy is menaced, because kings bear defiance with the greatest displeasure, whose ‘wrath is a messenger of death' (Proverbs 16:14), says Solomon. But since this edict has been proclaimed by the heavenly herald, Peter ‑ "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29) let us comfort ourselves with the thought that we are rendering that obedience which the Lord requires when we suffer anything rather than turn aside from piety. And that our courage may not grow faint. Paul pricks at us with another goad: That we have been redeemed by Christ at so great a price as our redemption cost Him, so that we should not enslave ourselves to the wicked desires of men, much less be subject to their impiety. (1 Corinthians 7:23)." (Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion, The Westminister Press, Philadelphia, 1960, Book 4: Chapter 20: p. 1)

It is an unfortunate truth that our Judeo‑Christian clergy is as much a bunch of treasonous dogs as those in the middle ages proved to be to the peasants or common people. For instance the following about John Calvin is never mentioned above a whisper:

"Judaism, which was destroyed politically (as a result of the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D.), went forth into the great world. It adapted its possessions to its wanderings. I once compared it to an army going to war, a "movable State."

Jews were compelled to smuggle their goods across from frontier to frontier; so they chose abstract wares, easy to stubble; and this gave them ability, despite ghettos and restrictions, to enter everywhere; and so it is that the Hebrew people have penetrated everywhere. The argument is that JUDAISM, BY PENETRATING AMONG THE CHRISTIANS, HAS GRADUALLY REINSTITUTED THE REMNANTS OF PAGANISM. SUCH PENETRATION HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT DELIBERATE JEWISH CONNIVING IN THE SHAPE OF ASSISTANCE BESTOWED IN A THOUSAND WAYS, DEVICES AND DISGUISES. IT HAS BEEN AFFECTED IN GREAT MEASURE BY CRYPTO‑JEWS, WHO HAVE PERMEATED CHRISTIANITY AND SPOKEN THROUGH THE MOUTH OF CHRISTIANITY (By false teachers, as we were warned of by Christ).

BY THESE DEVICES OF THEIR JEWISH BLOOD; and owing to an instance for 'requital,' THEY (Jews, who,

posing as Christian teachers ‑ such as Mike Evans, Billy Graham, Jack Van Impe, and the Jews lackeys ‑ such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggert, Oral Roberts and almost all, if not all television evangelists) HAVE GRADUALLY INDUCED CHRISTIANITY TO ACCEPT WHAT WAS LEFT IN IT OF PAGAN ELEMENTS AS THEIR OWN; AND IT IS THEY (Those Jews, posing as Christians) WHO, IN PRINCIPLE (even though they are called by great Gentile names), OF DEMOCRACY, OF SOCIALISM, AND OF COMMUNISM. ALL THIS ACHIEVEMENT...HAS COME ABOUT CHIEFLY THROUGH UNKNOWN ANONYMOUS JEWS, JEWS IN SECRET, EITHER CRYPTO‑JEWS WHO MINGLED AMONG THE CHRISTIANS AND NURTURED GREAT THINKERS FROM AMONG THEM; OR, THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF JEWS, WHO, IN THE GREAT CRISES OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM, HAVE STOOD BEHIND THE SCENES; OR THROUGH JEWISH TEACHERS AND SCHOLARS (Posing as Christians, men such as John Calvin*) FROM THE TIME OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

It was disciples of Jewish teachers who headed the Protestant movements. These dogs, these haters of the Jews have a keen nose. In truth, JEWISH INFLUENCE IN GERMANY IS POWERFUL. It is impossible to ignore it. Marx was a Jew. His manner of thought was Jewish. His keenness of intellect was Jewish; and one of his forebears was a most distinguished rabbi endowed with a powerful mind. THE NEWSPAPERS, UNDER JEWISH CONTROL, obviously served as an auxiliary in all movements in favor of freedom.

Not in vain have Jews been drawn toward journalism. In their hands IT BECAME A WEAPON HIGHLY FITTED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS...The MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE AT LAST REALIZED THIS SECRET, THAT JUDAISM HAS GRADUALLY PENETRATED THEM LIKE A DRUG...AND IS TRYING TO ORGANIZE THE FINAL BATTLE. TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE TRYING TO ORGANIZE ITS LAST WAR AGAINST JUDAISM. And there is no doubt that this warfare...is being waged specifically against Democracy, against Socialism. This is another world wide warfare again against the forces of Judaism. I venture to think that Socialism in its highest form is the fruit of the Jewish spirit, and the fruit of the world outlook of the prophets. It is they who were the first Socialists.

WAR IS NOW BEING WAGED AGAINST US {but unknown to most of Christianity. Because God's People refuse to accept knowledge and recognize the enemy}, AGAINST JUDAISM, not in our own land, but in the great outer world where we are scattered. They would 'smoke us out' of all the cracks and crannies where we have hidden. They would exterminate us like bacilli, and be rid of us." (N.H. Bialik, in an address delivered at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, May 11, 1933, which appeared in Lines of Communication, Palestine, July, 1933)  *(We Jews can boast of being the Creators of the Reformation! Calvin was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme in the Reformation. From a series of speeches at the B'nai B'rith Convention in Paris, published shortly afterwards in the London Catholic Gazette, February, 1936; Paris Le Reveil du Peuple published similar account a little later and Phillip II, by William Thomas Walsh)

The establishment's protestant religion in the West gives lip service to Calvin, but the average protestant preacher would die before quoting the above. He would be accused of disloyalty to his country and inciting riot and rebellion against the establishment. It would be the same as insisting "We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) which puts men at enmity with Lawless governments who punish its critics by removing tax‑exemption a la Bob Jones University and numerous individual churches.

                                                                                                      1514‑1572

Britain's Revolt: The Protestant Revolt reached its most advanced stage in Great Britain. By the time John Knox arrived on the scene, Henry VIII had already seized the properties belonging to the Catholic Church. He took over the Catholic Church in England, made himself its head, and installed his own bishops whose job it was to announce to the world that what the king did was God's will. This was Henry's own new Protestant state‑church. It was the old Roman Catholic Church turned into an English Catholic Church with a new name and some new rituals and beliefs. It was entirely episcopal. At the time of Knox, Henry's daughter, a devout Catholic, sat on the Scottish throne.

John Knox, too, had been a Catholic Priest, he became a protestant through the efforts of George Wishart, who was soon thereafter burned at the stake. In retaliation, Scottish Protestants executed cardinal David Beaton who had been Wishart's judge. The Catholic Church sent out a force to punish the rebels. Knox joined in the defense of St. Andrews castle and was captured. Sentenced to serve on a French galley, friends secured his release after 19 months.

In 1553, Knox sought refuge in Geneva where he met and worked with John Calvin. In 1554, Knox began to justify resistance to faithless rulers who attack their dutiful subjects, he also collaborated in the writing of the Geneva Bible. Returning to Scotland in 1559 he was foremost in the fight against the Catholic queen who was forced to abdicate in 1567, whereupon Protestantism was secured in Scotland. Unfortunately, the Church lands were promised to the nobles in return for their protection.

                                                                                           The English Civil War

Scottish Presbyterianism spread to England where Wycliffe's Lollards had prepared a fertile field. As people grew disenchanted with the episcopacy of the king and his Church they were added to the revolt. The king's income produced by the church and its businesses began to diminish, forcing the king to demand increased taxes. The people resisted, demanding the total abolition of the office of bishop by the Church of England, and that the Bible replace the king's Book of Common Prayer which contained neutered verses.

In time, the dispute centered in the Catholic king vs. a Protestant parliament. The king turned to his supporters who held their land "en fief" to him and commanded that they take the field with their supporters. Parliament called up the nation's militia, under the command of nobles sympathetic to parliament.

Cromwell

The leader of Parliament's presbyterian forces was Oliver Cromwell. In a series of brilliant battles he defeated the forces of the Catholic king. This left a protestant parliament ruling the nation with no opposition. It was the opportunity the people had waited for, they lobbied parliament to redress ancient wrongs, and parliament began to talk about dividing the land as commanded by scripture. When it ordered Cromwell to disband his army, he refused, packed parliament with his own supporters, and set himself up as a king with the title "Lord Protector." Then, he killed the defeated king and settled his followers, en fief to himself,  on lands confiscated from the king's supporters.

Protesting his reverence for God, he set about undoing the reforms of the Protestant Presbyterians. He put religious reform on hold and forbade dissenters to discuss their religious dissents in his army (Dharma). To prevent rebellion to his own rule he respected the prevailing prejudice against Catholics, still, he allowed the surrogates of the catholic Church, the Jews, into England (God's Law: "They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me." (1 Kings 4:21‑24) "Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own." (Ecclesiasticus 2, 11:34) where they took the place of the expelled Catholics who had formerly managed Church financial and business interests. Some believe that Cromwell was a secret agent of the Roman Catholic Church.

When Cromwell died the old rulers quietly stepped back into the shoes that he had kept safe from the Presbyterian Protestants. King Charles II restored the Anglican Episcopal Church, which he called "protestant," as the state religion. He banned the Presbyterian Covenanters as traitors, banned presbyterian meetings and fined, confiscated, imprisoned, transported, and executed those who were arrested attending meetings held far out in the open fields. It was called "the killing times."

Cromwell's followers were allowed to keep their lands if they transferred their enfiefment obligations to the new king. The remnant who insisted "No King but Jesus" and that "We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) were outlawed.

                                                                                            Counter‑Reformation

The single purpose of the Catholic Church's counter‑reformat
