WARNING: When I first saw the pictures that you’ll see below, I felt sick to my
stomach. It wasn’t a physical sickness but a spiritual sense of such
palpable evil that my soul felt ill. Whether you’re
Anyone who’s
been on the Internet cannot avoid coming across dark warnings about the Illuminati — a
purported conspiratorial organization that acts as a shadowy “power behind the
throne” or “the power that be” (TPTB), a modern incarnation or continuation of
the Enlightenment-era Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society founded on May
1, 1776. It is said that the Illuminati are the masterminds who actually
control world affairs through governments and corporations, eventuating in
the establishment of a one-world government — the
Membership of
the Illuminati variously is said to include the Council on Foreign Relations,
the Trilateral Commission, the Jesuits, the British Royal family,
other European royal families, and a number of
non-royal family bloodlines that include, most prominently, the
Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. Here’s the
first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry on the
Rothschild family:
The Rothschild
family (known as The House of Rothschild, or more
simply as the Rothschilds) is a European family of German [Ashkenazi] Jewish
origin that established European banking and finance houses from the late
eighteenth century. Five lines of the Austrian branch of the family were
elevated into the Austrian nobility, being given hereditary baronies of the
Habsburg Empire by Emperor Francis II in 1816. The British branch of the family
was elevated into the British nobility at the request of Queen
Frederick
Morton, in his 1962 book, The Rothschilds, gave an estimate
of the Rothschild wealth at over $6 billion in 1850. The blogger who calls himself
Markus Angelicus (the Angel Mark, most certainly
a pseudonymous nom de plume) estimates that taking $6 billion
(and assuming no erosion of the wealth base) and compounding that figure at
various returns on investment (a conservative range of 4% to 8%) would suggest
the following net worth of the Rothschild family enterprise, as of 1997:
·
$1.9 trillion (@4%)
·
$7.8 trillion (@5%)
·
$31.5 trillion (@6%)
·
$125,189.1 trillion (@7%)
·
$491,409 trillion (@8%)
Some claim the
Illuminati to be mainly if not wholly Jewish. Others, such as Henry Makow (who is a Jew), identify the Illuminati not with a
particular racial or ethnic group but by their common spiritual perversity —
Satanism. In Makow’s
words:
The Illuminati
consist of…some of the world’s richest families including the Rothschilds, the
Rockefellers and the Windsors. While they pay lip
service to religion, they worship Lucifer. Their agents control the world’s
media, education, business and politics. These agents may think they are only
pursuing success, but success literally means serving the devil.
Prisoners of their wealth, the Illuminati prefer hatred and destruction to
Love. Understandably, they can’t go public with this. They pretend to be moral
while working behind the scenes to degrade and enslave humanity in a “new world
order.”
At this point
you’re probably rolling your eyes and making the “ding-ding ding-ding
ding-ding” Twilight Zone sound. Admittedly,
while this mother of all conspiracy theories makes for interesting reading, I’d
always retained my skepticism.
For one,
conspiracy theories by their very nature are difficult, if not impossible, to
prove/verify or disconfirm –” It’s secret ’cause it’s a conspiracy!” If you ask
a conspiracy theorist (CT), “If it’s such a conspiracy, then how do you
know all this?”, the CT either says “I just know”
or “Well, TPTB leak clues and leave hints of their plans because
they are so arrogant and cocky.” If you bring up a counter-argument
such as “But how do you account for there being these powerful
wealthy groups that don’t agree with each other?,”
the CT replies, “You see, there are contending factions within TPTB.”
And so on and so forth. In other words, the CT is always right no matter
what, which makes the Illuminati conspiracy theory air- and water-tight,
impervious to counter-evidence or counter-arguments.
The flawed
epistemology of conspiracy theories such as the one about the Illuminati makes
me all the more skeptical until I saw pictures of a Rothschild — the Baroness
Philippine de Rothschild — in an
article on Makow’s website.
The Baroness
Philippine Mathilde Camille de Rothschild (born
Paris, France, 22 November 1933) is the only daughter of the vintner Baron Philippe de
Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty and
owner of the French winery Château Mouton Rothschild.
Rothschild
entered her father’s wine business in the late 1970s. When Philippe died in
1988, Philippine inherited three winery estates in
Below are
photos of the Baroness. Note that in every picture she wears a heavy chainlinked gold necklace with a pendant. The pendant in
the first pic below is a huge image of Baphomet, a pagan deity that, since the 19th century, has
become a figure or synonym of Satan.
The humanoid
goat Baphomet figure was first drawn
and popularized in 1854 by occultist Eliphas Lévi. In his book, Dogme
et Rituel de la Haute Magie
(“Dogmas and Rituals of High Magic”), Lévi included
an image he had drawn himself which he described as Baphomet
and “The Sabbatic Goat” — showing a winged humanoid
goat with a pair of breasts and a torch on its head between its horns.
Levi called his image “The Goat of Mendes.” Lévi’s Baphomet is the source of the later Tarot image of the
Devil, in the Rider-Waite design. The symbol of the goat in the
downward-pointed pentagram was adopted as the official symbol — called the
Sigil of Baphomet — of the Church of Satan,
and continues to be used among Satanists. [Source: Wikipedia]
There are pics of Rothschild wearing pendants that are more stylized
or abstract versions of the Baphomet: The goat's or ram's
horns
Remember that
this woman is one of the wealthiest people on Earth who can wear any piece of
jewelry she desires, but again and again she chooses to wear these big ugly Satanic pendants on big, heavy, gold chain necklaces.
Here’s a
younger Rothschild wearing a pendant of an angel silhouette (remember
that Lucifer and the other demons are fallen angels!). It’s
interesting that as she grows older, she’s become bolder and more in-your-face
with her Satanic jewelry, now wearing unmistakably Baphomet pendants as the one in the first pic above:
Here’s a pic of a bottle of red wine from one of her wineries,
Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Note the serpent; the words “cou
cou” (which is French for “neck neck”) coming out of the mouth of the bodiless head
in top right; the headless female figure below the serpent on the
left; and the glass of red liquid (wine or blood?) right below “cou cou”:
I leave you to
draw your own conclusions….
