Freemasonry and the Knights Templar: A New Order? | Documentary

Your goal is to reveal the true history of the Freemasons The search for clues will take you around the world Archaeologist Kate Raphael from Israel searches for vestiges of the legendary Knights Templar Donald Richie from Washington deciphers the secret symbols hidden around the world American Capital I met Herbert on a late summer day in Hamburg at the venerable church of Miche the members of what is probably the largest secret society in the world celebrate a jubilee 275 years ago the Freemasons founded their first lodge in Germany the elite of the fraternity come to Hamburg to celebrate the anniversary for the first time a camera is allowed to film their ritual meeting normally these types of meetings are prohibited outside throughout the world there are 5 million freemasons in some countries where the society is prohibited members They risk their lives when they learn what kind of people these freemasons are who operate in secret and who have always been persecuted.

What kind of knowledge they incorporate into their releases and why the outside world knows nothing about the organization. There is a hidden parallel world between us. One with its own special symbols and strange rituals Winter historian Marian Fusel has spent years studying the Freemasons and knows a lot about the secret society that legends have focused on Freemasons for centuries because members are not to reveal what goes on inside. a temple that they have taken a vow of silence, naturally this causes the Outsiders to formulate all kinds of suspicions and assumptions, so it is not surprising that time and time again in their history the Freemasons have been accused of being involved in all kinds of dark acts, this secret society selects its members Mozart belonged to the fraternity as did Johann Wolfgang Fingerta but also Walt Disney and Winston Churchill the jazz legend Louis Armstrong was also a member as was George Washington one of the founding fathers In the United States, what happens behind the closed doors of a Masonic temple is actually just a case of a good person becoming a better one.

Many critics are convinced that in reality the strange rituals bear witness to less human objectives. Each Mason takes a vow of silence. Nothing must leak to the outside world in the past, however many there may be. The brothers have spoken, as a result we were able to reconstruct some rituals. A Freemason begins his career as an apprentice, then becomes an officer and only after that is elevated to the rank of master in ceremonies, the candidate symbolically dying to be reborn. In the circle of their secret column of Brethren, to Outsiders, the ritual seems strange, but to Freemasons it is important because it forges a bond.

You cannot become a member of your own free will or effort. You have to be selected. That is also the special status that is conferred it is not like deciding to join a club you have to be chosen and this fact alone increases a person's self esteem and raises their status, often it is a person's mentality that drives them. to accept the offer to join a secret society the need to cut separate from others belong to the elite know more than the general public often the motives are highly selfish

order

s how the Freemasons fulfill the dream of individuality in a mass society and the candidates are willing to accept much with the certainty of being something special the right of initiation binds each individual Freemason to the overseas fraternity London the British capital is the center of the Freemason movement the Hall of Freemasons is the home of the The oldest Grand Lodge in the world has come to visit this terrible building, it is considered the world headquarters of Freemasonry.

Will the historian discover here more about the true objectives of the fraternity? Expect some answers from John Hamill based on Hamill's business card. He is responsible for special questions. Everywhere Fusel sees objects and symbols that offer insight into the beliefs of the Freemasons. John Hamill knows the legends surrounding his secret society The Internet is full of murky conspiracy theories It is said that the Freemasons were responsible for the French Revolution the First World War is also on the list of its dark deeds for a long time we ignored the theories of conspiracy we ignore the outside world and we pay for it in the short term and we are delighted now that we are reversing it and we are again being open and transparent with people and with this building being open to the public, anyone can enter but if that is the case, Why are Freemasons not allowed to talk about what happens inside their temples and what role do the ancient oriental images and symbols that decorate the huge bronze door of the most holy place play?

They show people constructing a building that points towards the Ancient roots that the Freemasons refer to in front of the Masters chair is a pentagram the five points represent wisdom Justice strength moderation and diligence the rectangular shapes show the importance of geometry that regulates fundamentally human activity or so the Freemasons believe the temple is based on a legendary model the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, which is mentioned in the Bible, also had pillars like those next to the Master's chair, more than eight meters high, the pillars known as yachin and Boaz flank the entrance to the Temple of Solomon, the building was intended to express something of a divine nature in Jerusalem today is there any indication here as to why Freemasons so revere the Temple of Solomon?

Our search takes us to where it all began, to the Temple Mount, at one time, Solomon's Temple stood in the heart of Jerusalem. The mountain is equally sacred to Christians, Jews and Muslims. Kate Raphael is one of Israel's leading archaeologists. She knows a lot about the history of the Temple Mount. She also understands the importance of King Solomon's Temple. King Solomon's Temple is the first to be built in the first century. time the capital was established, making it the first time since the Jewish people left the desert they established the capital and King Solomon's Temple was the first house of God, for the first time built in stone, no other building is so full of legend like this Temple.

The dimensions are described in the Bible, but that is the only source that remains have ever been found Kate Raphael is about to descend into the underworld of the holy city near the Western Wall there is a labyrinth of tunnels that she and her colleagues They visit regularly. At this site, which is so rich in history, she is convinced that down here is where the supporting walls of King Solomon's Temple must have been before it was destroyed in 586 BC, but what made the building so special, why do Freemasons still try to copy the building? No answers can be found down here, just a step away from the Temple Mount, archaeologists collect what has been removed from the gallery system in recent decades: the overload of several evacuation campaigns.

Researchers know that each shovelful could contain an important clue. to help them learn more about the history of the Temple Mount every day they encounter relics from the distant past Gabriel Barque is in charge of this exceptional treasure for archaeologists we have rich fines that are even one arrow ahead of Nebuchadnezzar's army who was filmed at the fall mile destruction, we have seals, impressions, we have pottery in abundance and even inscribed materials, so we have enough material from the early temple period to justify a lot of activity on the Temple mount at that time, The Divine building plan that makes Solomon's Temple so unique is described in the Bible that is accessible to everyone, including Freemasons, but it was others who brought the legend of the temple to Europe in the early 11th century.

The crusaders left Europe for the Middle East. Their mission was to expel the Muslims and take possession of the sacred places of Christianity. Bloody battles were fought and in 1099 the crusaders captured Jerusalem. The crusaders were the first Europeans able to explore the Temple Mount. No one knows what they were looking for. Under the Wall of The Lamentations Divine knowledge of King Solomon's Temple or precious relics Perhaps one thing is certain, even the Crusaders were fascinated by the Temple Mount and its history, so it was understandable that the temple played a central role in the founding of a new

order

, whose members called themselves the poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon or, for short, the Knights Templar the men took the vows of their order before the patriarch of Jerusalem they promised to live in poverty Chastity and obedience The Templars quickly became one of the leading orders of

knights

who saw themselves as elite as the spirit of Christianity, soon no one knew the tunnels under the Temple Mount better than the Templars.

Did the Templars discover the legendary treasure of Solomon's Temple in the galleries or did the

knights

use the tunnels to hide the riches they had? accumulated over time Kate Raphael knows that some people are still searching for the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar, whatever that treasure is, it may actually be golden relics or, as some suspect, the Holy Grail or perhaps it could be a secret knowledge of King Solomon's Temple that the knights revered so much that the spirits were aware of the possibility that the Temple Treasures were still in the place where they ruled the Temple Mount for 80 years.

They might have searched for this Temple more than anyone who followed them, but we have no evidence that we have no archaeological evidence we have no historical evidence that they ever found something and took it back to Europe as the years went by the Templars became more and more The most powerful did not feel accountable to any worldly authority. At that time, the order acted just as major international corporations do today. The Knights Templar manufactured goods and participated in commercial and financial operations since the 12th century. Their network of facilities extended throughout Western Europe. Templars had become a brotherhood that had been hermetically closed.

The clandestine activities of the knights were going to have an impact on Europe with our dark legend of the Temple of Solomon, the Templars influenced the secret societies that came later, such as the Freemasons in London. , the British Knights Templar built their own church. Circular Temple Church The interiors were modeled on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem the church was personally blessed by the Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1185. Paris for many years the French capital was the headquarters of the Knights Templar order for centuries no one knew where it was had located the headquarters of the order until in 2011 a construction unit discovered the remains of its legendary headquarters it was a global sensation before that only street signs had given any hint of a society shrouded in mystery in Paris my official hopes to discover if there is a link between the Knights Templar and fraternities such as the Freemasons that his research has brought him to the National Archives stored here are original documents from the time of the Templars a historical treasure that could help Marian Fussel in his research has passed many years studying the documents it still seems surprising that this powerful international organization disappeared practically overnight the exact reasons Because the trial of the Templars and the persecution of the order remain a subject of speculation today, a possible reason could be the military power they possessed.

Members of the order were professionally trained and retained their weapons even in peacetime. Therefore, they constituted a serious military threat even in their own country, constituting a challenge to the king's monopoly on the use of force, but it was not only the military influence of the Templars, but there was a thorn in their side. On the French king's side, he also had his sights set on the supposed treasure of the night and So Philip the Fair forged a plan to destroy the Templars in the early morning of October 13, 1307. Philip had his troops stored in the residences of the Templars and arrest the knights.

The day went down in history as Black Friday and since then Friday the 13th is considered Unlucky, it was the beginning of a quick end for the Templars in Europe in the late Middle Ages. It was a shock comparable today with the sudden collapse of the entire banking system. The foreigners wanted to eradicate the Knights Templar. Historical archives tell the details. Philip the Fair simply invented the accusations that were supposed to justify his brutal procedure against the Templars in the initiation ritual, the new Templar had to spit on the cross three times and deny Christ three times, the novices had to kiss the others members in the mouth, in the navel and in the Homosexuality of the buttocks was one of the classic accusations leveled at heretics since the 3rd century.

The heretics had been accused of being homosexuals, of being in league with the devil, and of worshiping idols at their meetings. It was alleged that the TemplarsThey worshiped a bearded head and even a black head. But these trumped-up accusations proved disastrous for the Templars. No one knew anything about the inner life of the order. The general public was fooled by the lies. In this case, the strict secrecy they maintained meant the death penalty for the proud Knights. Paris on March 18, 1314 Jacques de Mole, the last grand master of the fraternity, was burned at the stake. He never revealed the secret of the legendary Templar treasure.

The Templar ships were rumored to be Rife, it was claimed that they had set sail from La Rochelle bound for an unknown destination with the treasure on board it is just a myth perhaps Jean Demolay knew the truth when he was executed the king had him burned in a willow tree wet a particularly horrible punishment because the wood burns badly foreign that day the order was officially crushed and yet numerous tales describe how the Templars lived secretly under a new guise after the order was destroyed. Some Templars are said to have found a new home in Scotland and since then this country on the periphery of Europe has been seen as a stronghold of underground societies, but is there any real proof that this is where the French Templars fled?

Mayan historian Fusel heads to the Kilmartin Valley on the west coast. Fuso believes that a cemetery could provide clues so this expert in secret societies can discover using them to reconstruct what happened to the Templars after the trials Fussell has found some unusual ancient tombstones decorated with Knights swords, armor and flowers symbols of the Knights Templar tombstones in London which appear to date from the 14th and 15th centuries are particularly exciting at first and mostly depict noble knights. Some researchers see these tombstones as an indication that those resting here could have been Templars. The Templars came to Scotland and were buried here in the 14th century if the knights found a new home in Scotland. there is still order within their ranks the knights could well have passed on their secret knowledge of Solomon's Temple and its treasures almost no one has played with this possibility more than the novels of bestselling author Dan Brown and their film adaptations have fascinated millions played by Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatu when they visit Roslin Chapel in Scotland in search of the Holy Grail.

Dan Brown's main characters encounter mysterious symbols, so this is the gift at the end. Josh Christian Josh's Egyptian Masonic Pagan Templar Crosses located nearby Edinburgh's Roslin Chapel is something of an enigma, a feature cleverly made by Dan Brown. He saw the chapel as a literary melting pot of religions and secret societies. Marian Fusel is also familiar with legends centered on the church. It was commissioned by Sir William Sinclair, who had the church decorated with numerous secret symbols, including statues of foreign knights, the Lamb of God, a symbol found on many Templar seals, Cardo then sees two pillars that look familiar, he has them seen once before somewhere, the same pillars are found in the Freemasons Temple in London Murray and Fussell have returned to the Hall of Freemasons obviously at some point in the past the Templars inspired the Freemasons with their knowledge of Solomon's Temple John Hamill shows the historian symbols that attest to his fascination with precise architecture, these include a compass and a square.

The origins of Freemasonry are largely unknown, a fact that leads again and again to speculation. Modern research tends to see its origins in the Bow Hutton movement of the Middle Ages and in the environment of the cathedral architects and within this movement that was organized on structures based on guilt. developed which led to modern Freemasonry in the late Middle Ages members of the church's Masonic lodges covered the entire continent with a network of magnificent cathedrals such as those of Cologne and the architects of Salisbury and the bowhunters' guild They enjoyed immense privileges. They had their own secret laws.

Hand signs revealed who was a member and what rank they held in England. These architects referred to themselves as Masons. They moved from cathedral to cathedral offering their services and in those days the common people lived in low, dark huts, so for them the Gothic cathedrals built by the master. stonemasons the masons were architectural miracles Hooten or a secret society of knowledge these were not simple masons but architects an intellectual elite in other words who had access to monarchs who were at the top of society this had nothing to do with some low trade but people who had specific technical knowledge and who, of course, could also exercise a certain degree of power in society, does this mean that fugitive

templar

s and ambitious architects were brought together?

Marian Fusel was given permission to view historical documents in the secret society's internal archives. They include the fraternity's statues and the founding document of the world's oldest Grand Lodge. Aim for a decisive transition. The document was signed in 1717 by a Mr Anthony Sayer, so the first Grand Master was no longer a craftsman but an educated figure. From a comfortable middle-class background, the Association had further developed into an all-class fraternity, but why do the Big Brothers experiment in their clandestine meetings? What is this elitist circle that operates in secret really planning? The Freemasons sought proximity to the rich and powerful of their time.

For the individual this may well have been as fascinating as the allure of foreign secrecy became something of a fad it became very attractive for the social elite to become members mainly because there was a great need at the time for an all-encompassing sociality. the classes. Being able to exchange views freely with others in secret to discuss topics of all kinds beyond the limits of politics and religion, the Freemasons were able to satisfy this need for sociability to a particular degree, yes, close commercial ties made the Freemasonry spread from London to Hamburg in 1737. The first German lodge was founded, the storm war and in Germany too, the Freemasons immortalized themselves in monumental buildings and sought greater influence and power, but the authorities found their ideals dubious, they suspected that The Freemasons pursued anarchy and subversion.

King Frederick William, the first of Prussia, was demonized. The Freemasons feared competition from this exclusive society, but not even the monarch could prevent the fraternity from consolidating among the elite. At a secret meeting in Braunschweig, even the king's own son was accepted into the order in the course of a single night. The brothers elevating Frederick the Great to the level of Master was the inclusion of the elite part of a secret plan aimed at gaining control of the world. Why else should society go to such lengths to ensnare those with power? It is fascinating to note how quickly the Freemasons managed to gain numerous members even at the highest levels of society and found numerous followers even among the most powerful figures in Europe, so we are not simply talking about a bourgeois association, even the nobility. and the ruling princes were also part of the era of the Freemasons.

Once again, the Freemasons were associated with dark mysteries. These rumors culminated in the strange mindscape of Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's SS chief was searching for the Holy Grail and suspected it was part of the Knights Templar Treasure. Himmler considered the Freemasons to be closely linked. to the old order and that through them he could acquire the coveted treasure, so in January 1937 he had the Lodge of Freemasons demolished near the Ejector Lake in Hamburg. The foreigner felt totally justified in destroying the temple of the fraternity. The National Socialists saw the Freemasons as part of a great world conspiracy that had to be combated.

The prayers of the order had performed their rituals in the Hamburg temple for 200 years but then the Nazis banned the secret society being a Freemason in the Third Reich risking his life and his search for the great secret the fraternity was believed to have kept the Nazis had demolished the Freemasons' temple Brick by brick Himmler was obsessed with esoteric ideas he surrounded himself with fortune tellers and had archaeologists with German ancestral heritage investigate occult themes Freemasons did not fit the image of the ancient Germanic religion that would later be used to explain the world Nazis did not find any treasure in the Hamburg Lodge but they did cause serious damage to the secret society while they were in power the freemasons had to go underground Professor rudiger templin is the leading freemason of Germany as he heads to the lodge he does not look any different from an ordinary businessman it is only inside the building where The Brothers put on their cremation dress.

The apron has its origins in the Masonic lodges of Bal Hutton Church, from which it protected stonemasons. Flying chips. The top hat is an ancient symbol of freedom. The white gloves represent pure and impeccable acts. the real secret is the emergence and growth of a person's character in

freemasonry

beginning with the initiation experience which is something you must have personally experienced it is difficult to describe that is why the search for a secret will always be futile is this occlusion the one that stimulates the imagination and engenders conspiracy theories but why all the secrecy if there is nothing to hide?

Well, the fact is that the Freemasons are not as insignificant as they sometimes claim. It is evident that Washington DC is the capital of the world's leading economic and military power and is also the center of a secret world government that has some right almost no other city on our planet our secret fraternities are as active as they are here it is known that some presidents have been members of several secret societies at the same time, the fraternities clandestinely determine the guidelines of American politics Marian fusl has come to Washington D.C. To get an idea of ​​the extent to which secret societies have infiltrated American politics, his first stop is the capital, where he meets Donald Ritchie.

Richie, the chief historian of the United States Senate, knows the capital as the palm of his hand and tells his colleague that it was built by Masons who immortalized themselves in the building hundreds of times. In the famous dome is none other than George Washington himself. A Mason who here has ascended to heaven in a divine manner directed the first stone of the capital. Key Circle strove to emulate him. One third of the generals in the American War of Independence belong to the secret order. Foreigners will first encounter signs and symbols of the Freemason type. Also used the heart of the world superpower looks like a tribute set in stone to the secret society, even today American presidents still take oaths on the same Masonic Bible in which George Washington once took the oath of office, the last president in take an oath. this Bible was George Bush Senior High George Herbert Walker Bush, so help me God, congratulations, but whose interest is the president acting in?

Do you serve the American people or the secret fraternity? Democratic power is granted only for a limited period, but to members of a secret society. membership for life Mr. presidency is also sometimes like an order, one problem is that it almost takes a split personality because of the various loyalties involved with the oath of office, the state rightly demands total loyalty and scrupulous performance of the duties, this may result in a conflict with the objectives of some secret societies there are three million Freemasons in the United States the largest temple in the capital is located a stone's throw from the White House the founding father of the United States George Washington, which gives its name to the capital, is honored with its own monument Built by Freemasons, it stands impressively in Alexandria, near Washington D.C.

Not only are they monumental buildings, it is the entire capital, in fact, it is said to have been designed according to a secret plan drawn up by the Freemasons. It is believed that the brothers of the Lodge immortalized themselves everywhere. Historian Donald Ritchie knows about these dark theories, but neither he nor Marian Fusel can see the most impressive symbols from the ground, which is only possible from the aerial satellite perspective. It is clear what the conspiracy theorists have detected on a map of the city, they have identified a pentagram, a compass, a cross. and right angles, all of which are foreign Masonic symbols, was brotherhood really immortalized in street design?

The Kiplinger Library is the oldest in Washington. Here historians can examine plans dating back to the time the city was founded. That urban planner Pierre Lafong was not a Freemason, however, those who commissioned him certainly were and wanted clear geometric lines in the urban design,but we cannot say whether they commissioned symbols such as pentagrams and compasses directly from Freemasonry. We have a long history of conspiracies. and speculation and it affects our policy, it affects everything else, so it doesn't surprise me at all that people can look at this and see something that maybe wasn't intended at all, but that fits with their 1982 plan, the suspicion that Freemasons do not exist solely for reasons of self-discovery and personal development received a new boost after pedestrians in London made a gruesome discovery hanging from a nylon rope under the Black Friars Bridge there was a body the dead man came from Italy his name Roberto Cavi the trail led to Rome to the Vatican Roberto Cavi was the Pope's banker his mandate was to increase the multi-million dollar fortune of the church my invisal has good reasons for his interest in the Kavi murder case why Roberto Calvi Had she traveled to London where she met such a terrible man? destiny perhaps the journalist Mario Guarino knows the answer he followed the coffee case for many years, that is, how long did the official investigations take, they revealed that the Pope's banker belonged to a secret fraternity, its propaganda name is known for abbreviation as P2 , but what was the nature of the secret society P2 was a kind of parallel government that did not want to overthrow the government, but rather the objective was to penetrate it with deputies, senators, businessmen and bankers, the P2 had control of the finances, many banks were run by members of the P2 president through her investigations Marian fusel opened a can of worms initially the propaganda was just a simple mason's watch then it was infiltrated by criminals the secret meetings were held at the Excelsior hotel in Italy the lodge is famous initially the Brothers still supported social projects but by Calvy's Day, the lodge had long since changed and become a dangerous network whose true objectives no one really knew.

The Puppet Masters wanted to do propaganda because Italy's secret government claimed it was driven by fierce anti-communism and a lust for money and power. Later, at his sentencing, a court determined that the men who met at the Excelsior were financing other criminals. Terrorism would be used to create a charged and overheated atmosphere that the Brothers' lodge would then use for their own purposes Roberto Calvi operated among unscrupulous merchants who wanted to change Italy in 1980 a bomb planted at the Bologna train station killed 85 people two Years before, the president of the Christian Democrats in power, Aldo Moral, had been kidnapped and murdered here.

There were also links to propaganda. The goal was to blame the communists for the attacks. It is difficult to determine what was really behind all the accusations. The propaganda remained obscure. What is clear, however, is that politicians, bankers and gangsters met here. the corrupt plans and agreements were fine, that is, Alberto Calvi wanted to profit from this network, the head of the Hambozian Bunko had to provide fresh money to the church to support the struggle of Christians in Eastern Europe. Investigators today suspect that Coffee borrowed money from mobsters in DUI propaganda to speculate but the prophets failed to materialize the mafia wanted the money back Calvi realized too late that he had made a pact with the devil and there was no way to get out of it or was it simply the criminal environment that fascinated Roberto Cavi propaganda because the suspicion has been confirmed quite frequently also through trials that criminal elements belonged to this secret society that criminal businesses were also part of the activities of this Association that those who perhaps were not criminals when they entered the society definitely planned to accept certain advantages that they said it would not hurt to have ties with this milia as well, especially in Italy where the mafia has probably infiltrated all the organizations and in the end his contacts with the mafia prove fatal for Roberto Cavi.

His bank had outstanding debts of around 750 million euros. In his desperation, the banker wrote a letter to the Pope, accusing the pontiff of leaving him in the lurch a few days later. Roberto Cavi was hanged to death. of a bridge the Carvey murder trial ended with the acquittal of the accused but doubts remain The case shows that secret societies can also be dangerous propaganda. Dewey was banned, but the procedure had no effect on the Freemasons as a whole, although they are often accused of being a breeding ground for evil, especially since no one knows for sure what goes on behind their secret societies. doors from the point of view of conspiracy theorists those who like to believe in the power of secret societies such an acquittal does not change anything, in fact it raises even more suspicions that this trial was also designed, in reality there is no way To escape this conspiratorial fixation, my belief is that yes, organizations that are considered secret have some power.

This power is based on legend and not on his actual activities. Foreign companies have existed for a long time. They have a mysterious appeal, but what are their true objectives. Precisely what are they planning. Can. One can only assume that much can be explained. A lot of it is a banana, but for a long time people will continue to try to hack their way into the inner workings of these secret orders.
