Albert Pike
| Albert Pike was a freemason of the Scottish Rite, an Odd Fellow and lawyer who worked for the Arkansas Supreme Court. His teacher was Albert Mackey. He served in the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War. He wrote Morals and Dogma (similar to Eliphas Levi's Dogma and ritual of Transcendental Magic with Baphomet drawing). It served as a manual textbook for freemasons, discussing the symbolism of the 33 grades. |  |
He was a member of the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic Know Nothing or Native American Party like John Towers (mayor of Washington City), Levi Boone (mayor of Chicago), William Poole and Daniel Ullman (Union Army). It formed an anti-slavery coalition with Abraham Lincoln.
In the 1830's William Poole created the Bowery Boys gang to fight the Catholic Irish immigrants, who migrated to the US because of the Great Famine. The 1830's was also an era of anti-masonic sentiment.
In 1865 Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, member of the Know Nothing party, in the Ford's Theatre in Washington. The same year the Klu Klux Klan (KKK=11-11-11=33) was founded.
In 1869 Pike became Grand Sovereign Commander of the Scottish Rite’s Southern Jurisdiction.
In 1896 jesuit trained hoaxer Léo Taxil published Le Diable au XIXe Siècle, in which he claimed Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini were members of a satanic secret society, called the Palladian Society, who had the destruction of catholicism as goal.
AE Waite of the HOGD (British intelligence) played the role of debunker.
In 1925 cardinal Caro y Rodriguez, archbishop of Santiago Chili wrote The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled, in which he claimed Pike appointed Adriano Lemmi as Mazzini's successor. He mentions a letter from Pike to Giuseppe Mazzini wich predicts a 3d world war, that would be fought between Zionists and muslims. The letter was supposedly written on 8/15/1871 8/15 is the date of founding of the jesuits and birth Napoleon.
Canadian naval officer and British intelligence agent William Guy Carr wrote Pawns in the Game in 1955, based on Rodriguez's book and linked Mazzini and Pike to an atheist, anti-Catholic conspiracy of the Illuminati.
It was reinforced as an internet hoax by Michael Haupt and threeworldwars.com, which claimed to quote William Guy Carr's Satan Prince of This World while using Carr's interpretation of Pawns In the Game. The quoting of an interpretation of a letter that never existed led to rumors Pike was using the words nazism, communism and Zionism in 1871, while the word Zionism was coined in 1890.
William Guy Carr influenced Serge Monast (Project Bluebeam hoax) and Texe Marrs (affiliated with Infowars of Alex Jones).
In Gangs of New York (2002) Daniel Day-Lewis played William Cutting (Bill the Butcher), based on William Poole and Robert Ashton-Griffith played Oddfellow PT Barnum.
His statue in Arkansas was removed during the Black Lives Matter hype.
