Templars, Hospitallers, and Freemasons..!!
This is going to be a long article.
A little blirb in a latest Ben Fulford article popped up about the Knights Templars being invited back in to the Inner Sanctum of Monotheism. Also were integrating into the Knights Of Malta. Well that got my attention, and since there is a huge “Nobody knows whats going on with a lot this information”. I thought I would dive in and take a look to see what I could come up with. Note: I cannot find the specific Templar article mentioned in the Fulford article, nor can I find any other mention other than the Fulford article at this time, which the article has gone viral on the more new-agey alt pages.
A couple of important points… This is not about the symbols and related systems they use (will address this later in my comments). For someone to really talk about an event like this, they would need to be an initiate in those systems themselves (which I have written about before). So time to toss out the speculation of what any of that is for a moment and look at the structures..
Because of the secretiveness of these groups, I am going with the information at hand coupled with what I know..
In all the groups mentioned, they have been and are all involved in one kind of fuckery and control or another. So I am looking at a really bigger picture. I also know there are individuals in all these groups that have taken the information from these groups and have found something that helps them find balance for themselves and them alone, without imposing on another.
One point of important clarification. All these group revolve around the Papacy in one way or another. When I talk about the Papacy I break it down like this..
First: There is the Holy See in Rome. There are many Holy Sees in the world that are connected through a system called The Apostolic See. Each Holy See is a location where an Apostle of Jesus traveled to and set up their church. In this case The Holy See in Rome is a fictional legal entity and is unique because it is diplomatically recognized, and has no specific borders.
Second: There is the Papacy. This is the administration, executives, and courts of the Holy See of Rome. The Pope, Roman Curia, ect are all facilitators of The Holy See of Rome. It is also the groups who make up the Papacy I am writing about. It is important to clarify this point.
Third: The Vatican is a very recent name that was officially set in place from the Lateran Treaty in 1929, from there on is officially known as the Vatican City. One thing this treaty resoled was the existing “Roman Question”. The “Roman Question” was a dispute regarding the temporal power of the Popes as rulers of a civil territory. This resolved the any questions about the Temporal location with the Holy See of Rome, and bringing to a close the Papal states. So the only thing the Vatican is, is a location and the name of a hill in what is known as Rome from the times of the Romans.
Finallly,, there is A LOT of history that people have been told has gone on, but then there is history that has actually happened. The two are looking more and more that they are not the same. I am writing this piece in a linear time frame (because its easy to write in this way). But keep in mind there is probably about 1000 years of inserted history in one way or another.
The History..!! Lets start with the Knights Templar
So we begin about just before 1100AD at the time of the first crusade when Pope Urban II in 1095 called to take back Jerusalem from the Saracens (Islamic influence and control). Soon after this there were some monastic knight orders that manifested. The two big ones were Order of St. John of Jerusalem-Knights Hospitaller. The other being what we know of as Order of Solomon's Temple-The Knights Templar. These two groups are the focus of this article.
One reason for their existence (so we are told) were organized to protect people making their pilgrimage to the Holy land and specifically the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. This pilgrimage was only one of four at the time (Note: This is written about in Paulo Cohelo’s book The Pilgrimage). There were some real legitimate reasons for people of the time to want to take up this kind of journey, and was not a light undertaking. However the Church popularized pilgrimages after the turn of the century in 1000AD, after the end times did not happen.
The Crusades lasted about 200 years and during that time there were about 10 well known military monastic orders. The Hospitallars and the Templars being the most well known. The Tutonic Knights came out of this time as well. These groups were legally approved by and answered to the Papacy. There are a lot of well documented stories about what happened during the time of the Crusades, so I will not go into details. It looks like some of these monastic orders existed and manifested out of a genuine need before the crusades and became militarized when the Crusades started.
Of course the Knights Templar were the most famous and have the most mystery surrounding them. They got their name from setting up headquarters on or next to the temple mount in Jerusalem. This connects the stories with Solomon’s Temple. It is said they found something under the temple mount. Could be anything from the Ark of the covenant, to the grail, to the remains of The Magdalene, to Solomon’s treasure,, let your mind go wild on that one..! What is known is that they were very effective in military strategy, as well as setting up an affective banking system, which aspects are still in use today. It is also know that early on that Pope Innocent II gave the Templars unprecedented legal powers of being exempt from any local laws, being exempt from taxes, and being answerable to only the Pope (Papacy). Which part of the legend of the Templars is whatever the Templars found under the temple mount, they used as leverage to have the Pope give them the unprecedented legal powers.
Round about 1307, King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V, suddenly arrested many of the leaders and members, and apparently did what they could to wipe them out. Pope Clement finally agreed to disband the order in 1312. The reason for this is wide, varied and well documented. What is known is that many of the Templars escaped to various places like Scotland. However there were the ones who were arrested and some put to death for heresy. Recently the minutes from the Templar trials just happen to surface. They show the Templars were found innocent of the charges of heresy. The documents were hidden for some 700 years and were found in 2001. The official story is that the documents were misplaced sometime around the 17th century.
What is also known is that the wealth of the Templars that was collected during the rounding up of the Templars by the Church, was given to the Hospitallars. So the Templars have been on the outs with the Roman Catholic Church,, up in till recently..
It also looks like it was The Order of the Knights Templar were restored by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807 by imperial decree.
The History..!! The Knights Hospitallar version
As what is shared The Knights Hospitallar began in the early crusades and rose to power. It looks like they did start many hospitals and other services for the pilgrims of the time. But remained loyal and answered to the Pope. As the crusades came to an end they kept pulling back. More so because the Saracens not only took back Jerusalem, but because they kept winning conflicts. The middle east Crusades were officially ended with the fall of Acre in 1291. The Order of the Hospitallar’s set up new headquarters in Cypress. With too much politics in Cypress, they chose Rhodes as their new headquarters. They laid sedge to Rhodes and took it over. They also changed their name to the Knights of Rhodes. They were forces out of Rhodes by a Sultan in 1522 and they bounced around to different locations for about 7 years. The Hospitallar’s were then given Malta, Gozo, and the port of Tripoli in perpetual fiefdom by King Charles 1 of Spain, as the King of Sicily. From then The Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem-Knights Hospitallar,, Officially became the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta.
The Knights of Malta were removed from Malta in an invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte about 1798. The Knights surrendered Malta a year later and again went looking for a new home (though they apparently never surrendered their claim to Malta).
Here is where it really gets interesting. After getting removed from Malta, The Knights of Malta found home in St Petersburg. When Russian Emperor Paul 1 offered to set up a home base and were welcome by the other Russian Imperial Orders. It also looks like they elected Tsar Paul 1 to the positon of Grand Master of the Order. Looks like there were a lot of dealings with the Russian Imperial Court and since they still answered to the Papacy. Probably became a very powerful link between the Russian Court and the Papacy.
It looks like they also settled in Rome around 1834. I am not sure what the current status of the Knights of Malta is with getting back to Malta,, but they are there now and looks like the full on relations with the Papacy has never stopped..
There really haven’t been any real Knights since the crusades. However some kind of shift happened about the 1700’s it became an Order that was on the one hand title,, and on the other hand keeping the same militaristic order system, without armor and sword. Over all continuing the work they see and believe they are doing.
One side note: During the early 1200’s there were the purges or inquisitions of groups like the Cathars. Also the purging and elimination that took place in Russia at the same time of the elders. The Russian purge is said to have lasted for a 1000 years, until recently. It is said this is one of the reasons the ones with knowledge escaped and hid in Siberia. It makes sense. Have the most able men off and fighting in the Crusades, while at home eliminate the people with knowledge and ways of the ancients.
Current happenings..!!
It is already well known the Knights are a main financial branch of the Papacy among other things. There is one Roman Catholic Cardinal who is assigned to be the connection for the Knights with The Papacy.
In 2017 Pope Francis had Cardinal Burke do a couple of shake ups. There was a huge fight between the Pope and the Knights of Malta. The excuse was over condoms the Knights were distributing, but the big question was what was really going on. One thing it looks like the Cardinal was ordered to take care of was to kick Freemasonry out of the Knights of Malta.
Also very recently, and what inspired this article was that the Order of the Knights Templar have been invited back into the Inner Sanctum of Monotheism. Remember The Knights of Malta are a legal entity by church or Canon law and have never lost that status. The Knights Templar lost that legal status in the early 1300’s, that we know of.
On both sites of the Knights of Malta and the Knights Templar, they have very clear statements that they are both Christian orders and have nothing to do with Freemasonry. There is one degree in Freemasonry, with in the York Rite that is being a Knight of Malta. The Knights of Malta themselves clearly state that the Freemasons took that name.
What the actual history and connection between the Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta, the Papacy, and the Freemasons is, is any ones guess for many reasons. Primarily because someone would need to be an integrated initiate of these groups. Even then each group is going to have its own version of the story.
My Speculations..!!
All of these groups have lots and lots of history, and claim that their history goes back further than what is known. Often claims to hidden knowledge and direct lineages to the ancient mystery schools (esp with the Freemasons)..
With the Masons there are two versions they talk about. There are the Operative Masons from antiquity. The builders of Solomon’s Temple. Also during the medieval ages the ones who had the knowledge, skill, and keys to constructing some of the great and amazing buildings. Something shifted, say,, around the 1700’s. It became the speculative masons. They used the symbols and systems from these builders and architects of old and incorporated them into their systems and rituals. This same theme happened with the other Knight Orders where it was no longer military type Knight skills and knowledge. It became something very different. A knight of title, oaths and vows that are still strictly adhered to in a secretive initiatory system. All of them also claiming to have knowledge, and using this for the betterment of humanity, because they know better. In some ways this may be the case and can help humanity. Not only with their knowledge, but their organizations, and their interconnected communities. There is no argument in this one point.
But for the most part,, this bringing the Knights Templar back into the fold of Monotheism is only a very small indicator that all these groups are collapsing and huge changes are taking place.
Its like this,, all of the groups mentioned in this article have one thing in common.. They have a story or a Narrative and thats it. All their symbols and systems require this story and Narrative have some solidity to work in a particular way. If the story and Narrative collapses because there is no connection or traction. Basically this means the story and Narrative is dead and has no life. The use and access to the symbols and systems goes away, they become dead and lifeless. Additionally it looks like the story and Narrative was for the most part a lie in the first place.
This is one part of what is happening. The other is that these groups to one degree or another have become corrupt with things like pedophilia, or trying to keep the initiates bad activities secret, ect.
So these groups are all collapsing and dissipating from the esoteric or energetic, as well as the practical here and now stuff. Empires come and empires go, and these groups are no different..
My final thoughts to you the reader with this article as all articles,, take it all with a grain of salt. Grab hold of the elements that resonate and evolve from it. Toss everything else away. I hope this article is of benefit.
