I. skull and bones

First of all, let's start with skull and bones. About skull and bones, there has been a lot of online communication recently. Of course, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not.

On the beautiful campus of Yale University, there is a small Greek temple-like building. Several narrow windows are closed all year round, and the whole building is shrouded in mystery. This humble building is the most mysterious and powerful homecoming site in the United States. It's never open to the outside world, and it has always maintained its own peculiar color and elite style, and it also has a chilling name called "skull and bones". Skull and bones has extremely mysterious membership rules, and what is even more daunting is its membership list. From this skull and bones, there are three American presidents, two Supreme Court justices, and countless American congressmen and senior cabinet officials. After 172 years of reproduction, skull and bones's members are almost everywhere, from the White House, Congress, cabinet ministries, the Supreme Court and even the Central Intelligence Agency.

When US President George W. Bush and Democratic party presidential candidate John Kerry competed fiercely for the US presidency, Americans were surprised to find that although the two presidential candidates came from different party factions and had different political views and programs, they all kept an amazing secret. They were all members of skull and bones. Kerry joined in 1965, and Bush entered skull and bones two years later. The mysterious skull and bones began to surface.

skull and bones is probably the most mysterious fraternity organization in the world. Skull and bones was founded in Yale University in 1832, and its members included many of the most influential and powerful figures in the United States. Bush and Kerry, who competed for the presidency in the 24 US presidential election, were once members of the skull and bones. This organization, also known as the "Death Society", absorbs senior students who will graduate in 15 places every year and asks them to swear to strictly keep the secrets of the society.

The most popular new members of skull and bones usually come from families that have a long-term relationship with skull and bones, and they should be energetic, resourceful and politically ambitious, and most importantly, they can give up their personal independence for the sake of the "* * * common goal" that the community keeps secret. Their influence on American society is so great that some people believe that "skull and bones" is actually the behind-the-scenes force to manipulate the United States.

Anecdote: According to a report in 1999, the fixed assets owned by "skull and bones" were US$ 4.13 million.

According to legend, skull and bones is a branch controlled by the * * * Economic Association. What's the truth?

Second, * * * aid society

* * aid society, which literally means Free-Mason in English, is called Free and Accepted Masons, but there is no definite statement about its origin at present.

According to its public document, The Charter of the * * * Relief Society (written in 171 and officially published in 1723), the first chapter of History explains that the * * * Relief Society originated in 4 BC, which was called the "Anno Lucis" by the * * * Relief Society. They claimed to be descendants of Cain, who were familiar with astronomy and geography. Some people say that the * * * economic association originated from the masonry workers' union who participated in the construction of Babel in Babylon, Cuba; But another theory is that the * * * aid society originated from the masons who built Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. The earliest record of the formal appearance of the modern economic association began in Britain in 1717. Before 1716, aristocrats and senior clergy gathered in four pubs in London to hold high-class club parties, which focused on social activities, entertainment and diet. These people were the real founders of the modern * * * Economic Association. On June 24th, 1717, on St. John's Day, Mason of four lodges jointly established the first Grand Lodge, and members voted for An Song & # 8226; Thayer was the first generation of Grand Master, and this day was the beginning of the modern economic association movement. At the same time, the influence of the legendary Rose Cross Movement was fading away. Modern * * * aid societies got rid of the practical nature of masonry groups and became ideological masons, that is, political groups engaged in social reform.

*** representative symbol of aid societies:

*** representative symbol of aid societies, a symbol (meaning picture) composed of classics, squares and compasses, is * * * aid societies. Almost every * * * economic club is decorated with symbols of square and compasses, which may be changed from the Hexagram, the symbol of Tantri** in ancient India. The square ruler represents the truth of the downward regular triangle in the hexagram, while the sub-rules represent the morality of the upward regular triangle. The combination of the two represents the harmony of Yin and Yang, the harmony of truth and morality, and the norms of action and moderation, thus achieving greatness. In alchemy, this kind of perfection through chemical wedding is called Androgyne, and it is the original person (Adam Qadmon, the giant of light) of the truly complete state of human beings in Kabala's thought.

rules, rulers and codes are regarded as the furniture of the clubhouse in the * * * Economic Association, which is an indispensable tool for members to complete their personal practice, break through the triple darkness and see the rational light again, so they are called the triple great light (three bright lights).

membership system

in the 18th century, if you want to join the * * * aid society, you must first be recommended by the members of the * * * aid society, and you must not reveal your membership to others after joining the society in the early days.

according to the legend of the * * * aid society, the ancestor of the * * * aid society was hiram, one of the important masons who built the temple in Jerusalem. He was killed by three craftsmen who were jealous of his position and skills, and was buried in the bronze tomb in the temple, but he will soon be resurrected. Therefore, anyone who joins the * * * aid society will hold a ceremony symbolizing death and resurrection.

Although in the early days, the * * * aid society still adhered to the rule of keeping internal secrets strictly, but a book published anonymously in Amsterdam in 1745 completely exposed the details of the * * * aid society's internal rules, activities and even membership etiquette. However, the * * * Economic Association made its activities more open, and its members did not hide their identities. They also conducted charitable activities more openly, and the members' class gradually transformed into the middle class. In the modern * * * Economic Association, all activities are basically open except the internal argot and gestures at all levels are still kept secret.

Today's * * * Economic Association has about 6 million members, including about 1 million in Britain, 4 million in the United States and 7, in France. * * * The members of the aid society cover almost every page of modern western history-including all members of the European royal family such as Britain and successive presidents of the United States. Only two presidents, Lincoln and Kennedy, were not members of the * * * economy, and both of them were assassinated in office.

it is said that Voltaire, Montesquieu, Goethe, Haydn, Marquis de Sade, Mozart, frederick the great, Washington, Franklin and Mark & # 8226; Twain, Conan Doyle and garibaldi are all members of the * * * aid society. The stars are shining. Today's * * * Club has about 6 million members, including about 1 million in Britain, 4 million in the United States and 7, in France.

third, the Illuminati

The Illuminati was a secret organization established by some people of insight in Rome in the 16th century in order to resist the persecution of the Catholic Church and fight the truth with the church. Among the earliest founders were mathematicians, physicists and astronomers. Later, more and more famous scientists and artists became members of the Illuminati. With the growing strength of the Illuminati, the Vatican feels a great threat, and they will not tolerate the continued existence of such an organization aimed at promoting science and opposing the church. Therefore, the Holy See launched a "clean-up campaign" to force the Illuminati to disappear by cruel killing and deterrence. But some people still think that the Illuminati has not disappeared, but has become more secretive. Their members have infiltrated all social strata and groups and are ready to continue to challenge the Catholic Church.

The thrilling explosion of the Vatican antimatter in the movie Angels and Demons starring Tom Hanks is related to the Illuminati. And in Angels and Demons, the Illuminati and the Vatican have great differences of belief. In the Vatican, Satan is regarded as the devil, but the Illuminati think it is the enlightener who points to the light.

the earliest leader of the Illuminati was the famous Galileo. He likes symmetry very much. So bernini, another member of the Illuminati, designed a masterpiece for Galileo. He designed five words that were not originally from ambigrams, that is, earth, water, fire, air and illuminati, which were considered as the four elements that made up the world in the 16th century, into symmetrical characters, that is, characters and patterns with the same original shape after being reversed 18 degrees. He even designed the "star of light"-earth, air, fire and water formed a perfect diamond pattern, and this pattern is also symmetrical! After reversing 18 degrees, it is exactly the same as the original figure, and the words of four words can still be clearly read!

However, it should be pointed out that the above picture is not a symmetrical pattern of Illuminati in history, but was created by Dan Brown in order to finish the writing of Angels and Demons, and the real symmetrical pattern may have been lost.

Fourth, the Knights Templar

The Knights Templar appeared during the Crusades in the Middle Ages, and was a religious feudal military organization established by feudal lords in western Europe to defend the territory they occupied in the East. After the holy city of Jerusalem was captured by the Crusaders in 196, many Europeans made pilgrimages to Jerusalem. At this time, the main force of the Crusaders had returned to Europe, and pilgrims were often attacked by robbers on the road. It was against this background that the French aristocrat Huguens de Payns and eight other knights established the Knights Templar to protect the pilgrims from Europe.

The name of the Knights Templar came from the fact that King Boduan II of Jerusalem stationed a corner of Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount for these knights, which was built on the site of the legendary Solomon Temple. In the novel The Da Vinci Code, it is said that the Knights Templar knew the secret hidden under the Temple of Solomon, so they deliberately asked this place to be stationed in order to find out the secret documents hidden in the ground. Through these secrets, they mastered the lifeblood of Christianity, thus gaining strength and finally being slaughtered. Of course, this is just a novel, so we can't take it seriously. However, the strength and wealth of the Knights Templar are real. They are considered to be the real masters of the East during the Crusade, and the kingdom of Jerusalem mainly relies on their strength to fight against the Arabs.

The Knights Templar attracted the attention of aristocrats and the upper echelons of the church soon after it was founded. At that time, St. Bernard of Birna, a famous monk, wrote an article to support the actions of the Knights Templar. Under the influence of St. Birna, the Knights developed rapidly. In 1139, Pope Pope Innocent II II issued an oracle, reaffirming the status of the Knights Templar. Politically, the Knights are only responsible to the Pope, and no other monk or secular regime has the right to direct it. Economically, the Knights not only enjoy the privilege of tax exemption, but also have the right to collect eleven taxes on their own territory. The privilege granted by the Holy See has enabled the Knights Templar to develop into a powerful and wealthy organization in just a few decades, and at the same time, it has firmly grasped the Knights Templar under the Holy See. Since then, the Knights Templar has become the most reliable force possessed by the Holy See.

In its heyday, the Knights Templar is said to have more than 2, members, mainly divided into four parts: knights, Sergeants, Farmers and Chaplains. Knights are heavy cavalry and the core strength of the Knights Templar. Only they have the right to wear a white robe embroidered with the Red Cross, which symbolizes the Knights Templar. Petty officers are light cavalry, and their ranks are lower than those of knights. Sergeant and knight * * * together constitute the military force of the Knights Templar. Farmers in the Order do not refer to farmers who cultivate, but members who specialize in managing the property of the Order. The priest is the spiritual supporter of the Order, helping other members of the Order spiritually. Like the Knights Hospital, the leader of the Knights Templar is also called the Grand Master, who is elected for a lifetime.

The wealth of the Knights Templar can only be described as extremely rich. At the end of the 12th century, the Order owned more than 9, industries in Europe, including some famous churches and castles, such as Temple Church in London and Tempelhof in Berlin. At one time, the Knights even owned the whole island of Cyprus. Their wealth enabled them to maintain a strong professional army, and even if they suffered huge losses on the battlefield, they could recover quickly, but this wealth eventually led them to ruin.

After a long period of war and management, the power and wealth of the Knights Templar in Europe reached its peak, but disaster followed. On October 5, 137, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of all members of the Knights Templar in France. The king of France wanted to confiscate the wealth of the Knights Templar by attacking it to supplement the increasingly embarrassed financial expenditure. Under this blow, the Knights Templar was almost completely destroyed.

Philip IV swallowed the property of the Knights Order in France, but some people think that he didn't get much benefit. The Knights Templar had a premonition that most of the property in France would be removed before the disaster, so King Philip IV of France finally drew water with a sieve. The Knights Templar may have cleverly hidden a lot of wealth. It was analyzed that the Pope had quietly tipped off the Knights Templar a few days before the French king took action. Thus, the whereabouts of the wealth of the Knights Templar became the biggest treasure mystery in the world, which has not been solved yet.

The organization of the Knights Templar in Portugal was renamed Jesuits to continue to exist, and its nature changed from a military order to an order mainly engaged in overseas missions. King Robert of Scotland may be the most tolerant king to the Templars. He defied the Pope's edict and refused to take hostile actions against the Templars in his territory. Therefore, many members of the Templars in continental Europe fled to Scotland and joined Robert's men. It is said that in the war between Scotland and England, it was with the heroic fighting of these Templars that the Scots defeated the dominant English army.
