Noted Catholic scholar Michael Jones, editor of
Culture Wars magazine, could not contain himself when, in the lobby of
Tehran’s Parsian Hotel, he was confronted with the news. “But…but that’s
unprecedented!” Jones shouted.
Sometimes they’re “fired” by God, who has been
known to dismiss them from this mortal coil. On other occasions, Satan –
through one of his secret societies infesting the Vatican – slips the
Pontiff one of those patented papal poisons.http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=23904

They want to be very, very clear on that. Very explicit indeed. Yes, they get very testy about people getting these very similar orders mixed up, though they do admit it is extremely confusing to the uninitiated of course. |

"The Knights of Malta are a Gentile, Roman, Freemasonic Order coming out of the
Old Roman Empire,
which was the collective power of the old world of Europe, cause
Europe was dominated by Rome." — Jordan Maxwell; Basic Slideshow
Presentation
"As the Knights of Malta, their official head is the Pope and their
headquarters is in Rome. As the Knights of St John they are based in
London and their official head is the King or Queen. The Catholic and
Protestant wings are in fact the same organization at the highest
level...
The Jesuits and the Knights of Malta are esoteric secret societies which hoard and use the secret knowledge while
outwardly claiming to be Roman Catholic and ‘Christian.’" — David Icke;
The Biggest Secret
"The Knights of Malta is held up by a backbone consisting of nobility.
Nearly half of the 10,000 members belong to Europe's oldest and most
powerful families. This cements the alliance between the Vatican and the
"Black Nobility." The Black Nobility is mostly the rich and powerful
of Europe. The head of the Black Nobility is the family that can claim
direct descendant from the
last Roman emperor. Maybe now you
can see that things are beginning to fall into their proper place.
Membership in the Knights of Malta entails obedience to one's superior
in THE ORDER and ultimately to the Pope. Therefore, a U.S. ambassador
who is also a member of the Knights of Malta faces a conflict of
interest. Why is this fact ignored? President Bush appointed Knight of
Malta Thomas Melledy to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican." —

Knights of Malta
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta, also known as the original Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem, is a closed fraternity of the Roman Catholic Church (click below image).
Pope Benedict with SMOM Grandmaster Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie
Its initiated members must be Catholic and have served in the military. They participate in secret ceremonies and feudal ritual dress, and embrace a strong class/caste mentality as part of their initiation into Rosicrucian dogma.
The upper grades are fastidiously aristocratic and must be able to display a family coat-of-arms dating back at least 300 years in unbroken succession from father to son. The Sovereign Grand Master of the order is recognized as a head of state, and his authority is ensured by his secular ranking as a Prince, and his ecclesiastical ranking as a Cardinal.
Under international law this organization has independent Sovereign status, which assures nationalistic loyalty from its members, above and beyond allegiance to their own country - they also have Permanent Observer status at the United Nations. The current Grand Master, Andrew Willoughby Bertie, is descended from Mary Stuart (Mary Queen of Scots) which places him firmly in the Sion/Grail historical scenario.
The order and its members have been proven to be linked with the “Rat Run”, the post-WWII escape route used by high-ranking Nazis and death camp scientists from defeated Germany to the Americas.
Sovereign Knight of Malta passports were issued with false identities that allowed escape from prosecution for war crimes.
The privatization of security in Iraq threatens more than innocent civilians
The killing of 11 civilians in Baghdad two weeks ago has once again put Blackwater on the spot.
The US security firm first came into the public eye in early April 2004, when four of its personnel were killed and mutilated by mobs in Falluja. Although Iraqi religious parties denounced the attacks at the time, Bush gave the town four days to deliver the perpetrators before ordering an all-out attack, one in which thousands of Falluja inhabitants perished.
In his book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, American investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill links the modern security firm to the Knights of Malta, an offshoot of the Knights Templar.
Blackwater’s employees, he argues, share the same religious zeal of ancient crusaders.
US Theocons Fight Battle in Iraq
Many has been written about the privatization of the Iraq war, but in his new bestseller book Jeremy Scahill sheds much needed light on the ideological roots of the largest US private mercenary firm and its links to the theocons and the Christian militia Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
Prince, writes Scahill, shows how,
“politically powerful Christian fundamentalists and Neocons are pressing forward with their battle for what they call ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy.’”
He has connections with conservative Catholic groups and funds rightwing organizations through his Freiheit Foundation.
Senior Blackwater executives such as Joseph Schmitz do not only subscribe to the theocon ideology but are also members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, a Christian militia that had a mission of defending territories the Crusaders captured from Muslims.
Schmitz, says Scahill,
“comes from one of the most bizarre, scandal-plagued, right-wing political families in US history.”
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta began as a Christian charity in Al-Quds in 1080 to provide care for poor and sick pilgrims to the Holy Land.
After the conquest of the holy city in 1095 during the First Crusade it became a Catholic Military Order. After the Muslims restored Al-Quds, the Order operated from Rhodes and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Order’s fighters, known as the Knights Hospitaller, helped the Crusaders in raids on Muslim countries near the coasts of Italy, including Tunisia, Libya and Morocco.
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is now a state located in Rome and is recognized by 50 countries worldwide.
BLACKWATER CHIEF JOSEPH E. SCHMITZ - KNIGHT OF MALTA
Joseph Edward Schmitz is the son of the late John G. Schmitz, former California State Senator, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S. Presidential candidate (1972).
Columba Bush’s sister is married to John P. Schmitz, a beneficiary of the fellowship programs subsumed under the Carl Duisberg gesellschaft and the brother of Joseph Schmitz, currently the head of the Blackwater security outfit.
John P. Schmitz has close links to the elder George Bush, the 9/11 milieu…
Ex-Pentagon IG Joseph Schmitz At Prince/Blackwater
Joseph Schmitz is active in the Washington Lawyers’ Chapter of the right-wing Federalist Society, the same group with which the new Chief Justice John G. Roberts was affiliated.
Schmitz is also a member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Schmitz was accused of covering up several investigations into fraud, waste and abuse within the Rumsfeld Pentagon.
Joseph E. Schmitz: Georgetown, Opus Dei and Sovereign Military Order of Malta
Joseph Edward Schmitz is an American lawyer, former Inspector General of the Department of Defense and executive with Blackwater USA, a private contractor providing security services to the U.S. military.
Schmitz attended Catholic schools as a child and Georgetown Preparatory School while his father served in Congress. He is a member of Opus Dei and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
General Joseph Schmitz member of the Sovereign Order of Malta
In addition to Prince,
“A number of Blackwater executives are deeply conservative Christians, including corruption-smeared former Pentagon Inspector General Joseph Schmitz, who is also a member of the Sovereign Order of Malta, which Scahill describes as ‘a Christian militia formed in the eleventh century [to defend] territories that the Crusaders had conquered from the Moslems,’” Chris Barsanti wrote in a review of the book for In These Times.
Blackwater USA is the brainchild of Erik Prince - a former Navy SEAL and son of Edgar Prince, a wealthy Michigan auto-parts supplier - described by Scahill as a “radical right wing Christian mega-millionaire” who is a strong financial backer of President George W. Bush, as well as a donor to a host of conservative Christian political causes.
In the 1980s “the Prince family merged with one of the most venerable conservative families in the United States,” when Erik’s sister Betsy - nine years his senior - married Dick DeVos, whose father Richard, founded the multilevel marketing firm Amway.

The two families exercised enormous political influence both inside and outside Michigan.
“They were one of the greatest bankrollers of far-right causes in U.S. history, and with their money they propelled extremist Christian politicians and activists to positions of prominence,” Scahill writes.http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_blackwater12.htm
This is an
extract of the Congressional Record of the House of
Representatives dated February 15, 1913, where the oath
is entered as purported to be of the Knights of
Columbus
"I, ............, now in the
presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed
St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul,
and all the saints, sacred host of heaven, and to you, my
Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus
rounded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification of Paul the
III and continued to the present, do by the womb at the Virgin,
the matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and
swear that His Holiness the Pope, is Christ's vice regent and is
the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church
throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys of binding
and loosing given His Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ, he
hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, States,
Commonwealths, and Governments and they may be safely destroyed.
Therefore to the utmost of ray power I will defend this doctrine
and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers of the
heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the
Lutheran Church of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway
and the now pretended authority and Churches of England and
Scotland, and the branches of same now established in Ireland
and on the Continent of America and elsewhere, and all adherents
in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the
sacred Mother Church of Rome."
"I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any
heretical king, prince, or State, named Protestant or Liberals,
or obedience to any of their laws, magistrates, or officers."
"I do further declare that the doctrine of the Churches of
England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others
of the name of Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they
themselves to be damned who will not forsake the same."
"I do further declare that I will help assist, and advise all or
any of His Holiness's agents, in any place where I should be, in
Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland, or America, or in any
other kingdom or territory I shall come to and do my utmost to
extirpate the heretical Protestant or Masonic doctrines and to
destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise."
"I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding I am
dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the
propagation of the Mother Church's interest to keep secret and
private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they
entrust me and not divulge, directly or indirectly, by word,
writing, or circumstances whatever but to execute all that
should be proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me by you
my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order."
"I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or
will of my own or any mental reservation whatsoever, even as a
corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will
unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive
from my superiors in the militia of the Pope and of Jesus
Christ."
"That I will go to any part of the world whithersoever I may be
sent, to the frozen regions north, jungles of India, to the
centers of civilization of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the
barbarous savages of America without murmuring or repining, and
will be submissive in all things whatsoever is communicated to
me."
"I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity
presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly
against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed
to do to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and
that I will spare neither age, sex, or condition, and that will
hang, bum, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these
infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women,
and crush their infants' heads against the wails in order to
annihilate their execrable race. That when the same can not be
done openly, I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the
strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden
bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of
the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either
public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by
any agents of the Pope or superior of the Brotherhood of the
Holy Father of the Society of Jesus."
"In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and
all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I
will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof;
and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my
brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off
my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened
and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be
inflicted upon me on earth and my soul shall be tortured by
demons in eternal hell forever."
"That I will in voting always vote for K. of C, in preference to
a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party
so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy
myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote
accordingly."
"That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power
to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic
girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of
the inner movements of the heretics."
"That I will provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may
be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to
defend the church either as an individual or with the militia of
the Pope."
"All of which I, ............, do swear by the blessed Trinity
and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and
on part to keep this, my oath."
"In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed
Sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my
name written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own
blood and seal in the face of this holy sacrament."
