“Civil War, The American”
(Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “The official dates
for the American Civil War are 1861-1865. The major combatants were: the
Union (the North) against the Confederate States of America (the South). Number
of American soldiers who died from wounds and disease (combined total from both
sides): estimates run as high as 620,000; and there may have been
up to 50,000 civilian casualties. President Abraham Lincoln blamed the Papacy
and the Jesuits for fomenting this bloody civil war.”
“Civil War, The American” (Per C.T. Wilcox; “The Transformation of the Republic”; 2005; Page 8): “The [Ed.: American] Civil War [Ed.: of 1861-1865] was not a ‘homespun’ affair. It was the result of the same upheavals that have changed the face of Europe. The promises and active help of the European empires and the Church of Rome along with the Jesuit Order had stiffened the resolve and attitude of the Southern leaders, some of whom were quite willing to see the monarchic principle triumph in North America.”
“Civil War, The American” (Per Drew Gilpin Faust, author of “This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War”; Publisher:
Alfred A. Knopf, New York; 2008; Page xi): “In the middle of the nineteenth century, the
United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil
war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a
war that would presage [Ed.: i.e., foreshadow] the slaughter of World War I’s Western Front and the
global carnage of the twentieth century. The number of soldiers who died
between 1861 and 1865, an estimated 620,000, is approximately equal to the
total American fatalities in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War,
the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War
combined. The Civil War’s rate of death, its incidence in comparison with the
size of the American population, was six times that of World War II. A
similar rate, about 2 percent, in the United States today would mean six
million fatalities.”
“Civil War, The American”
(Per Eric Jon Phelps, author of “Vatican Assassins”; 1st
Edition; 2001; Pages 304-309): “The Jesuits, with their ‘Holy
Alliance’ of [Ed.: European] despots, conspired to overthrow
Protestant republicanism, especially the Federal Government of these United
States of America. For our government had been established upon the principles
of the Bible of the English Reformation, the Authorized King James Version of
1611. Those principles were embodied in the Protestant documents known as the
Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of rights.
Therefore, pursuant to the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] Council of Trent [Ed.:
1545-1563] and Jesuit Oath, this ‘heretic nation’ was to be overthrown…
…The method [Ed.: for overthrowing the
American Constitutional Republic] was threefold. First…America must
be invaded by foreign immigrants, Irish Roman Catholics especially;
secondly, civil war must be incited resulting in the annihilation of the White
Protestant and Baptist Southern culture; and lastly, the Protestant
Constitution must be modified resulting in the centralization of
power in Washington, D.C.
…Such was the plan. The following is how it was
accomplished. The Jesuits, using Scottish Rite Freemasonry, first
divided the country into geographical sections, North and South, with the
Missouri Compromise. The Freemason used to that end was the centralist, Henry
Clay. The Jesuits then brought in thousands of Irish Roman Catholics and
settled them predominantly in Northern cities. In the 1820s British Secret
Service agents under Jesuit control then fomented ‘the anti-slavery
agitation’… Then a new political party, consisting of the centralizing,
old Federalists, was created in the North called ‘the Republican Party’. The Jesuits
used it to intensify the anti-slavery agitation with the Lincoln-Douglas
debates …Meanwhile, the Jesuits with their [Ed.: control of
the highest levels of] Freemasonry created the radical secessionists in the
South. They would hotly promote the withdrawing of the Southern States from the
Union. Two Freemasons who were radical secessionists were John C. Calhoun and
Robert Toombs
…The
Jesuits, in control of the ‘Radical Red Republican Party’ insured the
election of Lincoln by disrupting the Democratic convention in Charleston with
their Masonic tools, Stephen Douglas in particular…
…The Jesuit Order…had used the high
Freemasons of America to cut the nation in half, cause hatred and discord
between the Northern and Southern peoples using ‘the anti-slavery agitation’,
and then ignited a war of annihilation against the Protestant peoples of the
South pursuant to the evil Council of Trent!
…The purpose [Ed.: of inciting the American Civil War of 1861-65] was to destroy the primarily Protestant States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia while only lightly afflicting the primarily Roman Catholic States of Louisiana and Florida. …Hundreds of thousands of foreign mercenaries were hired [Ed.: by the North] ‘to extirpate the White Southern heretics from the face of the whole earth’. In addition to eleven thousand Germans, the Jesuits used hundreds of thousands of their most devoted Irish Roman Catholics to ransack the South just as they had done in Germany during the ghastly and nightmarish Thirty Years’ War [Ed.: in Europe, 1618-48.]. [Ed.: Many thousands of Irish Roman Catholic troops would later desert from the Union Army “en masse” after the publication of Pope Pius IX’s warm letter of support to Confederate President Jefferson Davis in 1863.]
…The Jesuits would control BOTH
sides of the conflict [Ed.: i.e., the American Civil War of 1861-65] as
they did during the Napoleonic Wars. They controlled the radicals in the
North, particularly Thaddeus Stevens in the House, Charles Sumner in the Senate
and Freemason Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s Secretary of War. They also controlled
the leadership in the South, particularly Jefferson Davis and Judah Benjamin,
the Secretary of War.”
“Freemasonry”: (Per I.A. Sadler, author of the book “Mystery, Babylon the Great”; 2003; Pages 175-181): “Freemasonry is another branch of the Babylonian Mysteries, which has survived under different names from the time of the fall of open pagan worship in the 5th century. …Freemasonry is just as ripe for manipulation by the Jesuits and the Church of Rome, that it may be used for the purposes of ROME, as any Protestant denomination. [Ed.: Freemasonry has been manipulated by the Jesuits for many decades.] …In Britain and the USA, Freemasonry appears as a ‘Christian’ organization. However, this is a most dangerous pretense, for the true god of Freemasonry is Lucifer, who is Satan appearing as an angel of light. …Both Freemasonry and the Church of Rome [Ed.: at their highest levels] worship the same god… Masonic ceremonies implicitly deny the sufficiency of Scripture. …[Ed.: Freemasonry] is particularly strong in many Baptist churches in the USA… Those in the lower levels of Freemasonry know nothing about the higher and even more secretive degrees.” [Ed Note: The Jesuit Superior General controls the highest levels of Freemasonry. American historian James Parton tells us: “…If you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top, head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [Ed.: the Jesuit Superior General] are one and the same person.”]
“Hughes, Archbishop John” (Per Darryl Eberhart,
Editor of ETI & TTT): “President Abraham Lincoln blamed
the New York Draft Riots that occurred in July of 1863 on Papal Rome, and, in
particular, on John Hughes, then the Roman Catholic bishop of New York City.
(Most of the rioters were Roman Catholic Irish immigrants.) Lincoln stated: ‘We have the proofs in hand that they [Ed.: i.e., the New York Draft
Riots] were the work
of Bishop [Ed.: John]
Hughes and his emissaries.’ In 1864 this Roman Catholic prelate, John Hughes,
made the following astounding statement showing Papal Rome’s hatred of
religious liberty: ‘No man has a right to choose his religion.
Catholicism is the most intolerant of creeds. It is intolerance itself. We
might as rationally maintain that two and two does not make four as the theory
of Religious Liberty. Its impiety is only equaled by its absurdity’.”
“Jesuit Order, The”: (Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “The Jesuit Order was founded in 1534 by Ignatius of Loyola, and was officially approved as a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Paul III in 1540. The primary goals of this order are: (1) to roll back the Protestant Reformation and the freedoms that it brought to many of the inhabitants of this planet; (2) to enhance the power and prestige of the Papacy (and its ‘White Pope’); and, (3) to rule despotically over the governments of the world through the Papacy. The head of the Jesuit Order is the Jesuit Superior General – the ‘Black Pope’ – the real power behind the Papal throne. The Jesuit Superior General is also the master of all these: his JESUIT ORDER, the Knights of Malta, and the highest levels of Freemasonry – and of all that he controls through these powerful and influential organizations. The Jesuit Order is infamous for fomenting revolutions and wars, assassinating heads of State, and subverting nations. I believe that it is almost impossible to understand European history and Church history without a good understanding of the Protestant Reformation and the Jesuit-led Counter-Reformation.”
“Knights of The Golden
Circle” (Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “The
Knights of the Golden Circle – a secret society controlled by the Jesuit
Order (i.e., it was a Jesuit FRONT GROUP) – helped, along with Jesuit-controlled
high-level Freemasons on both sides of the conflict – to foment the bloody
American Civil War of 1861-1865. John Wilkes Booth, the man who shot Abraham
Lincoln on April 14th, 1865, was a member of the Knights of the
Golden Circle. (Author Burke McCarty, in her book ‘The Suppressed Truth about
the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln’, stated that she believed that all of the
[low-to-mid-level] conspirators in the Lincoln assassination were members of
the Knights of the Golden Circle.) The oath that John Wilkes Booth took
upon admission into the Knights of the Golden Circle resembles quite
closely some of the oaths taken by Jesuits and Freemasons.”
“Meade, George Gordon” (Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of
ETI & TTT): “George G. Meade was born in 1815,
and he died in 1872. He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War
of 1861-1865 (rising to the rank of Major General), and was the commander of
the Army of the Potomac during the critical battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in
early July of 1863. This Roman Catholic Union Army General allowed
Confederate General Lee’s beaten Army of Northern Virginia to safely
retreat after the battle of Gettysburg, when he could have easily trapped and
destroyed Lee’s army (or forced its surrender). Meade’s failure to do so
prolonged the war for an additional two bloody years.”
“Meade, George Gordon” (Per President Abraham Lincoln, as
told to his friend Charles Chiniquy; from page 298 of the Chick Publications’
edition of Chiniquy’s book “50 Years in the ‘Church’ of Rome”; 1985): “But it is evident that his [Ed.: i.e., Union
Army Major General George G. Meade’s] Romanism superseded his patriotism after the battle
[Ed.:
of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in July of 1863]. He [Ed.: i.e., Major General Meade] let [Ed.: i.e.,
allowed] the army of [Ed.: Confederate
General] Lee escape
when he could easily have cut his retreat and forced him to surrender
after losing nearly the half of his soldiers in the last three days’ carnage.
When [Ed.: Major
General] Meade was to
order the pursuit [Ed.: of General Lee’s Confederate army] after the battle [Ed.: of
Gettysburg], a
stranger came in haste to the headquarters, and that stranger was a disguised Jesuit.
After ten minutes’ conversation with him, Meade made such arrangements for the
pursuit of the enemy that he escaped almost untouched with the loss of only two
guns [Ed.:
i.e., two artillery pieces – two cannons].”
“New York Draft Riots” (Per Abraham Lincoln; quote from
page 299 of the Chick Publications’ edition of Charles Chiniquy’s book “50 Years in the ‘Church’ of Rome”; 1985): “The New York riots were evidently
a Romish plot from beginning to end. We have the proofs in hand that they were
the work of [Ed.: Catholic] Bishop
Hughes and his emissaries. No doubt can remain about the bloody attempts of [Ed.: Papal] Rome to destroy New York, when we
know the easy way it was stopped. I wrote to Bishop Hughes, telling him that
the whole country would hold him responsible for it [Ed.: i.e., the
New York Draft Riots of July 1863] if he would not stop it at once. He then gathered the
rioters [Ed.: mostly Irish Catholic immigrants] around his palace, called them his ‘dear friends’,
invited them to go back home peacefully, and all was finished! So Jupiter of
old used to raise a storm and stop it with a nod of his head!”
“Pius IX, Pope”
(Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti was born in
1792, and he died in 1878. He was pope from 1846 to 1878.
Pius IX, in
his ‘Syllabus Errorum’ of December 1864, made the following statement:
‘The State has not the right to leave every man free to embrace
whatever religion he should deem true. …The [Ed.: Roman Catholic] Church
has the right to require that the [Ed.: Roman] Catholic religion shall
be the religion of the State, to the exclusion of all others. …Cursed
be those who assert liberty of conscience and of worship and such that
maintain that the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] Church may not employ force.’
Pope Pius IX supported the Confederacy (the South) during
the American Civil War of 1861-1865. He wrote a warm letter of support (dated
December 3, 1863) to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Shortly after the
publication of that letter, many Roman Catholics deserted from the Union Army.
U.S. Army Brigadier General Thomas M. Harris tells us: ‘It was the Pope
of Rome [Ed.: i.e., Pope Pius IX], and his faithful lieutenant, Louis
Napoleon [Ed.: a.k.a. Napoleon III], who, taking advantage of our [Ed.:
American] civil war, undertook to establish a Roman Catholic empire in
Mexico, and for this purpose sent Maximilian, a Roman Catholic prince, under
the protection of a French army, to usurp dominion, and take possession of the
country [Ed.: of Mexico]. All of this was done in the hope that the
Union cause would be lost; and that through the strife that she [Ed.: i.e.,
Papal Rome] had fomented, two Roman Catholic empires [Ed.: i.e.,
two nations controlled by Papal Rome] would be established on the [Ed.:
North] American continent, [Ed.: namely] that of Mexico under [Ed.:
Emperor] Maximilian and that of the Confederacy under Jefferson Davis, thus
making it possible to make a conquest [Ed.: for Papal Rome] of
the entire continent. This letter of the Pope [Ed.: i.e., Pius IX] to [Ed.:
Confederate President] Jefferson Davis, couched in such courteous and loving
terms, and showing so clearly that his sympathy was with the Southern cause,
was well understood by his [Ed.: i.e., the pope’s] loyal and faithful
subjects all over the North. Roman Catholic officers [Ed.: in the Union
Army] began to resign and the [Ed.: Roman Catholic] rank and
file began to desert, from the time of the publication of that letter [Ed.:
of Pope Pius IX to Jefferson Davis] to the close of the [Ed.: American
Civil] war’.”
RELEVANT QUOTATIONS:
“…The Roman Catholic Church sowed the seed of division between the two
great sections of this country, dividing North from South on the burning
question of slavery.” – Bill
Hughes (“The Secret Terrorists”; 2002; P. 53)
“The awakening of the president [Ed.: i.e., Lincoln] and the North [Ed.: i.e., the Union] came on the morning of April 12, 1861 with the firing on Fort Sumter [Ed.: in South Carolina]. [Ed.: Confederate Army Brigadier] General Beauregard [Ed.: 1818-1893], Jesuit leader of the military operations, sent this opening shot of the rebellion. Beauregard was a professed Romanist and sprung from a distinguished family of Jesuits.” – C.T. Wilcox (“The Transformation of the Republic”; 2005; Page 150)
“This [Ed.:
American Civil] war would never have been possible without the sinister
influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to popery that we now see
our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons.” – President Lincoln
“Despite a declared
neutrality [Ed.: during the
American Civil War of 1861-65], the ‘Holy See’ [Ed.:
i.e., the Papacy] was secretly aiding and abetting
the Confederacy in the hope of dividing Christian America.
The degree to which the Vatican could affect Lincoln’s war measures was astounding. [Ed.: Roman] Catholic citizens
in the north aligned with their southern brethren by voting Democratic, dodging
or defending slavery, and by opposing Lincoln on all fronts. Irish [Ed.: Roman Catholic] federals
[Ed.: i.e., federal troops] deserted in droves after learning
that their ‘Holy Father’, Pope
Pius IX, had dispatched an
official communiqué of support to [Ed.: Confederate President] Jefferson Davis, addressing him as
‘Illustrious and Honorable President of the Confederate States of America’.
When the retreating forces from [Ed.: Confederate General] Lee’s debacle
at Gettysburg [Ed.: Pennsylvania in July 1863] should have been crushed
on the banks of the swollen Potomac [Ed.: River], Lincoln’s [Ed.:
Roman] Catholic [Ed.: Union Army] commander, General George Meade, ‘conveniently’
diverted a third of his army to securing New York City during the infamous
‘Draft Riots’, perpetrated by the rampaging parishioners of [Ed.: Roman
Catholic] Archbishop [Ed.: John] Hughes.” – Dr. William P. Grady
