[00:00:36] Last week, along with cocaine...

[00:00:37] What is it saying?

[00:00:39] It's more than one fault of it.

[00:00:43] It is a big idea.

[00:00:44] Because of oppression has been wrong.

[00:00:54] For the faithful...

[00:00:56] You are listening to the Alchemical Tech Revolution and I am your host, Wayne McRoy.

[00:01:27] Good evening, good morning, wherever you are around the world.

[00:01:30] Tonight, we're going to look back into history and we're going to study the rise of this cult called the Assassins.

[00:01:40] And we're going to look tonight into their secret doctrine.

[00:01:44] And we're going to see how very influential that this one particular small group of radicals...

[00:01:52] How influential they have been to some of these other secret society groups throughout the course of time.

[00:01:58] We're going to discuss the Seveners.

[00:02:01] The secret doctrine of the Assassins.

[00:02:03] And this is likely going to run into a series of episodes here.

[00:02:07] This will be part one tonight.

[00:02:09] Tonight, we're going to lay down some foundational statements here about the Assassins.

[00:02:15] And we're going to let you know just who and what this cult was and who they are today.

[00:02:22] Because you see, they still exist today.

[00:02:26] Now, this is sometimes called...

[00:02:30] By other names.

[00:02:31] These are referred to as the Ishmaelie Nizaris in some circles.

[00:02:39] So, this is something that's hugely important.

[00:02:43] Now, in order to understand the rise of this cult founded by Hassan ibn Sabah,

[00:02:49] the old man of the mountain back in the 11th century,

[00:02:56] we need to understand a little bit of the background here going into this.

[00:03:00] This was based upon a split in the realms of the development of Islam after the death of Muhammad.

[00:03:10] Now, when this happened, there were various groups who pretty much were fighting for who it was that got to be

[00:03:20] the main speaker for the entire religion of Islam.

[00:03:24] And who would be the imam?

[00:03:26] Who was the leader?

[00:03:28] And there was some infighting among some of Muhammad's family members and close associates

[00:03:34] as to who it should be that should carry on the tradition.

[00:03:37] Who should be the leader?

[00:03:39] And we had this split into two distinct groups early on after this point.

[00:03:45] And one of those groups came to be known as the Ishmaelies due to one of these descendants of Muhammad.

[00:03:52] And we'll get a little bit more into that as we read into the history of all of it here.

[00:03:56] But it is from this group, the Ishmaelies, that this Nizaris cult of Ishmaelies came into prominence and rose.

[00:04:04] And they were known as the Assassins or the Hashashin.

[00:04:08] And named after, ostensibly if you listen to the mainstream history,

[00:04:14] named after hashish, one of the substances that the old man of the mountain, Hassan Sabah,

[00:04:21] used in order to convince some young converts into believing that he himself

[00:04:29] had control of access to paradise for them upon their deaths.

[00:04:36] So there's a lot of interesting history to get into with this.

[00:04:41] And we're going to set it up here before we get into the primary source that we'll be reading from tonight.

[00:04:48] We're going to go to a secondary source, first of all, just to lay down some foundations

[00:04:54] so we know what we're talking about.

[00:04:56] Because although I have done a show or two in the past talking about the Assassins,

[00:05:01] it might be worth looking over and reviewing some of what we know about this group.

[00:05:09] And you need to realize, this organization had a massive influence on later secret society groups.

[00:05:17] Most notably the Templars, which arose and were founded shortly after the advent of the Assassins.

[00:05:25] And many of their doctrines were taken from the Assassins.

[00:05:30] And it is recorded in the annals of mainstream history that the Assassins themselves said

[00:05:37] that they would take on the exterior teachings of Christianity if it suited their purposes.

[00:05:44] So you need to understand there's a lineage here that most people dare not try to connect the dots with.

[00:05:54] Because a lot of it is tucked away in the hidden records of the secret society groups.

[00:06:02] And you won't hear about much of it in the mainstream history of things,

[00:06:06] but there are certain researchers of the past who've done a phenomenal job

[00:06:11] bringing out some of this material, looking at the old Eastern teachings,

[00:06:15] the old Oriental teachings, the things that were recorded,

[00:06:19] and translating them into European languages.

[00:06:23] And one of these was a man named Joseph von Hammer,

[00:06:27] who later took on the surname Pergstall.

[00:06:30] Joseph von Hammer Pergstall translated a lot of these different old accounts and records that he found.

[00:06:37] He was quite the historian.

[00:06:40] And he put them primarily in German.

[00:06:43] And we're going to be reading from a source that translates the German to the English.

[00:06:47] And this one was published in 1835.

[00:06:50] The translation therefrom.

[00:06:52] But before we get into that,

[00:06:54] we're going to look at a little bit more recent of a book

[00:06:56] that gives us a little bit more modern take.

[00:06:59] Think on what we know and is a secondary source that references back to some of these earlier sources,

[00:07:05] like the one that we will primarily be reading from,

[00:07:08] to get into the deep subject that we're going to discuss tonight.

[00:07:11] Now this goes way beyond the 101 stuff, folks.

[00:07:14] If you are a new listener to this podcast or this broadcast,

[00:07:20] you might have a little catching up to do.

[00:07:22] So if that's the case,

[00:07:24] I would encourage you maybe go back and listen to some of the older episodes

[00:07:27] to get a feel for some of this.

[00:07:30] Because, well, we'll try our best to lay down the foundations here for you

[00:07:35] as to who the assassins were and how they came to prominence

[00:07:38] and what kind of an influence they have to the secret society groups even unto today.

[00:07:45] So we'll get a little bit into that.

[00:07:49] But this runs deep.

[00:07:50] And this is probably going to be, like I said,

[00:07:52] at least a two-part series, if not a three-part series,

[00:07:56] discussing these things because there's a lot of information to get in here.

[00:08:01] So before we begin

[00:08:04] and get into the main text,

[00:08:07] we're going to have to go into the secondary source first.

[00:08:10] Now the primary text we'll be reading from later

[00:08:12] is called

[00:08:13] The History of the Assassins,

[00:08:16] derived from Oriental sources

[00:08:18] by the Chevalier Joseph von Hammer,

[00:08:21] who later took on the surname Pergstall.

[00:08:23] And this was translated from the German

[00:08:26] by Oswald Charles Wood, M.D.

[00:08:28] Like I said, this was published 1835.

[00:08:36] 1835.

[00:08:38] But the secondary source we'll be reading from

[00:08:40] is a more modern source.

[00:08:42] This one only dates back to the 1960s.

[00:08:44] And this one is titled

[00:08:46] A History of Secret Societies

[00:08:49] by Archon de Rall.

[00:08:51] And this was Citadel Press, New York, copyright 1961.

[00:08:56] And this is an interesting book

[00:08:58] that gives you an overview

[00:08:59] of many of the things that von Hammer spoke of

[00:09:03] in the work that we'll be reading from.

[00:09:06] But we're going to be picking up from a portion

[00:09:08] a little bit further on in that book.

[00:09:11] So to lay down the foundation,

[00:09:12] this one's a little easier to understand

[00:09:14] and gives you a kind of abbreviated version

[00:09:19] of how all of these things came about.

[00:09:21] So just as an aside,

[00:09:23] we have this split in Islam happened

[00:09:28] where we had two distinct sects of Islam

[00:09:31] that came from that.

[00:09:33] And this primarily deals with

[00:09:35] the Ishmaelie side of this.

[00:09:38] This is where the assassins derived

[00:09:40] their information from.

[00:09:41] So this Nizarie Ishmaelie sect

[00:09:47] had a school in Cairo.

[00:09:49] And this is where Hassan Sabah trained.

[00:09:53] And where he came to adopt the doctrines

[00:09:58] that he had.

[00:09:59] And he split a little bit

[00:10:00] from the main teachings of that group.

[00:10:02] But let's get into it here.

[00:10:07] To lay down the background here,

[00:10:09] a little bit of framework leading us up

[00:10:11] to the main topic here tonight.

[00:10:14] Two men in the year 1092 stood on the ramparts

[00:10:18] of a medieval castle called the Eagle's Nest,

[00:10:21] sometimes known as the Vulture's Nest as well

[00:10:24] in other accounts,

[00:10:25] perched high upon the crags of the Persian mountains.

[00:10:28] The personal representative of the emperor

[00:10:30] and the veiled figure who claimed to be

[00:10:32] the incarnation of God on earth,

[00:10:34] Hassan, son of Sabah,

[00:10:37] sheikh of the mountains

[00:10:38] and leader of the assassins,

[00:10:39] spoke.

[00:10:40] And he said,

[00:10:41] You see that devotee standing guard

[00:10:43] on yonder turret top?

[00:10:44] Watch.

[00:10:45] He made a signal.

[00:10:46] Instantly, the white-robed figure

[00:10:48] threw up his hands in salutation

[00:10:50] and cast himself 2,000 feet

[00:10:52] into the foaming torrent

[00:10:53] which surrounds the fortress.

[00:10:55] I have 70,000 men and women throughout Asia,

[00:10:59] each one of them ready to do my bidding.

[00:11:01] Can your master, Malik Shah, say the same?

[00:11:04] And he asks me to surrender to his sovereignty?

[00:11:07] This is your answer.

[00:11:09] Go.

[00:11:10] Such a scene may be worthy

[00:11:11] of the most exaggerated of horror films,

[00:11:14] and yet it took place in historical fact.

[00:11:17] The only quibble made by the chronicler of the time

[00:11:20] was that Hassan's devotees numbered

[00:11:21] only about 40,000 rather than 70,000.

[00:11:25] How this man, Sabah,

[00:11:27] came by his uncounting power,

[00:11:29] and how his devotees struck terror

[00:11:31] into the hearts of men

[00:11:32] from the Caspian to Egypt

[00:11:33] is one of the most extraordinary

[00:11:35] of all tales of secret societies.

[00:11:38] Today, the sect of the Hashashin

[00:11:41] still exists in the form of the Ishmaelies

[00:11:44] or Ishmaelites,

[00:11:45] whose undisputed chief endowed by them

[00:11:48] with divine attributes,

[00:11:49] is the Aga Khan.

[00:11:51] Gonna pause for a moment here, folks.

[00:11:53] So the leader of the Ishmaelites

[00:11:57] or the Ishmaelies,

[00:12:00] the Nizari Ishmaelies,

[00:12:02] is called the Aga Khan.

[00:12:05] That is his title.

[00:12:06] He is the Imam.

[00:12:07] He's the chief.

[00:12:08] He's the sheik.

[00:12:09] He's in charge.

[00:12:11] He's the one who calls the shots,

[00:12:13] and he's supposed to represent God on Earth.

[00:12:16] Now, this came back in 1092.

[00:12:20] There, as we see in the text,

[00:12:22] this was referring to Sabah,

[00:12:26] Hassan Sabah, in that case.

[00:12:29] Like many, another secret cult,

[00:12:32] the Assassin Organization,

[00:12:33] was based upon an earlier association.

[00:12:35] In order to understand how they worked

[00:12:37] and what their objectives were,

[00:12:39] we must begin with these roots.

[00:12:41] It must be remembered that the followers of Islam

[00:12:44] in the 7th century AD split into two divisions,

[00:12:47] the Orthodox, who regard Muhammad

[00:12:49] as the bringer of divine inspiration,

[00:12:51] and the Shias, who consider that Ali,

[00:12:54] his successor, the fourth Imam or leader,

[00:12:57] was more important.

[00:12:59] It was with the Shias that we are concerned here.

[00:13:03] Gonna pause for a moment.

[00:13:04] So the Ishmaelies are derived from the Shias.

[00:13:08] From the beginning of the split in the early days of Islam,

[00:13:12] the Shias relied for survival upon secrecy,

[00:13:15] organization, and initiation.

[00:13:18] Although the minority party in Islam,

[00:13:21] they believed that they could overcome the majority,

[00:13:24] and eventually the whole world,

[00:13:26] by superior organization and power.

[00:13:28] To this end,

[00:13:30] they started a number of societies

[00:13:32] which practiced secret rites

[00:13:33] in which the personality of Ali was worshipped,

[00:13:37] and whose rank and file were trained to struggle above all

[00:13:41] for the accomplishment of world dominion.

[00:13:43] One of the most successful secret societies,

[00:13:46] which the Shias founded,

[00:13:47] was centered around the abode of learning

[00:13:50] in Cairo, Egypt,

[00:13:52] which was the training ground for fanatics

[00:13:54] who were conditioned by the most cunning methods

[00:13:56] to believe in a special divine mission.

[00:14:00] In order to do this,

[00:14:01] the original democratic Islamic ideas

[00:14:03] had to be overcome by skilled teachers

[00:14:06] acting under the orders of the caliph of the Fatimites

[00:14:10] who ruled Egypt at the time.

[00:14:12] Gonna pause for a moment here, folks.

[00:14:15] The original Islamic ideas or ideals

[00:14:18] had to be overcome by skilled teachers.

[00:14:21] Pay close attention here.

[00:14:22] This is what still goes on

[00:14:24] in all the secret society groups.

[00:14:26] There's a doctrine here

[00:14:30] that underlies this,

[00:14:33] and we'll get to that.

[00:14:47] And the caliph saw to it

[00:14:50] that the instructors were no ordinary men.

[00:14:52] The supreme judge was one of them.

[00:14:55] Another was the commander-in-chief of the army.

[00:14:58] A third, the minister of the court.

[00:15:00] There was no lack of applicants.

[00:15:02] In any country where the highest officials of the realm

[00:15:05] formed a body of teachers,

[00:15:06] one would find the same thing.

[00:15:10] Classes were divided into study groups,

[00:15:12] some composed of men,

[00:15:14] others of women,

[00:15:15] collectively termed assemblies of wisdom.

[00:15:18] All lessons were carefully prepared,

[00:15:21] written down,

[00:15:22] and submitted to the caliph for his seal.

[00:15:25] At the end of the lecture,

[00:15:27] all present kissed the seal.

[00:15:29] For did the caliph not claim direct descent

[00:15:31] from Muhammad,

[00:15:32] through his son-in-law Ali,

[00:15:34] and thence from Ishmael,

[00:15:36] the seventh imam?

[00:15:38] He was the embodiment of divinity,

[00:15:40] far more than any Tibetan lama ever was.

[00:15:43] And I'm going to pause for a moment before we continue.

[00:15:45] So Ishmael was the seventh imam,

[00:15:50] was a descendant of Ali.

[00:15:52] And this is where we get the term Ishmaelite,

[00:15:56] or Ismaili,

[00:15:57] the Nizar-i Ismailis.

[00:16:01] Ishmael being the seventh imam,

[00:16:03] and they'll speak of the invisible imam.

[00:16:06] And this is an important concept we'll get to later.

[00:16:10] And this, of course,

[00:16:11] has to do with much of the secrecy

[00:16:15] and the esoteric doctrine

[00:16:18] that permeated into these secret society groups,

[00:16:20] and how they used the trappings of external religion

[00:16:26] to reify their power.

[00:16:30] And we'll see

[00:16:32] how a lot of what they say,

[00:16:34] and what they do,

[00:16:35] and who they claim to be,

[00:16:36] is disingenuous.

[00:16:37] And this goes far beyond just the assassins, folks.

[00:16:41] This permeates all the secret society groups.

[00:16:44] This is the model,

[00:16:46] the prototype,

[00:16:47] the template

[00:16:47] that many of the secret society groups

[00:16:50] that have arisen since have taken on.

[00:16:53] And this is why,

[00:16:56] this is why

[00:16:59] they're disingenuous.

[00:17:02] Because of this doctrine

[00:17:04] that undergirds all that they do.

[00:17:07] You see,

[00:17:08] some of this was actually revealed

[00:17:10] in politics in recent years.

[00:17:12] Do you remember back

[00:17:13] the first election

[00:17:15] back in 2016

[00:17:17] where it was Donald Trump

[00:17:18] and Hillary Clinton

[00:17:21] running

[00:17:21] for the presidency?

[00:17:24] And Hillary Clinton said,

[00:17:25] you have to have two positions,

[00:17:27] a public position

[00:17:28] and a private position

[00:17:29] on any given topic.

[00:17:32] Well,

[00:17:33] same kind of thing

[00:17:34] goes on here.

[00:17:35] as we'll see.

[00:17:38] Let's read on here

[00:17:39] and we'll continue.

[00:17:41] So,

[00:17:42] the university in Cairo,

[00:17:44] the House of Wisdom at Cairo,

[00:17:45] lavishly endowed

[00:17:46] and possessing

[00:17:47] the best manuscripts

[00:17:48] and scientific instruments available,

[00:17:50] received a grant

[00:17:51] of a quarter

[00:17:51] of a million gold pieces

[00:17:53] annually

[00:17:53] from the caliph.

[00:17:54] Its external form

[00:17:56] was similar

[00:17:56] to the pattern

[00:17:57] of the ancient

[00:17:58] Arab universities.

[00:17:59] Not much different

[00:18:00] from Oxford.

[00:18:02] Gonna pause for a moment.

[00:18:03] You know,

[00:18:03] Oxford in England.

[00:18:04] This is how

[00:18:06] the old Arab

[00:18:08] universities

[00:18:09] were set up.

[00:18:11] They were great places

[00:18:12] of learning.

[00:18:13] There was a lot

[00:18:13] of culture there

[00:18:14] that has kind of been

[00:18:16] hidden in the obscurity

[00:18:18] of history now.

[00:18:20] But its real purpose

[00:18:21] was the complete transformation

[00:18:22] of the mind

[00:18:24] of the student.

[00:18:26] Students had to pass

[00:18:28] through nine degrees

[00:18:30] of initiation.

[00:18:31] In the first,

[00:18:33] the teachers

[00:18:33] threw their pupils

[00:18:35] into a state of doubt

[00:18:36] about all conventional ideas,

[00:18:38] religious and political.

[00:18:40] I'm gonna pause

[00:18:41] for a moment here

[00:18:42] once again.

[00:18:43] This is important.

[00:18:44] Remember,

[00:18:45] because these are

[00:18:45] the same methodologies

[00:18:46] used by secret society

[00:18:48] groups today,

[00:18:50] occult fraternities,

[00:18:51] you name it.

[00:18:52] This is where they start.

[00:18:54] This is how they operate

[00:18:55] and how they function.

[00:18:57] And we'll see

[00:18:58] what the end results

[00:18:59] are as we continue

[00:19:01] here.

[00:19:02] So first,

[00:19:03] the teachers

[00:19:04] have to throw their pupils

[00:19:05] into a state of doubt

[00:19:06] about all conventional ideas,

[00:19:08] religious and political.

[00:19:10] They used false analogy

[00:19:12] and every other divisive argument

[00:19:14] to make the aspirant

[00:19:15] believe that what he had been taught

[00:19:18] by his previous mentors

[00:19:19] was prejudiced

[00:19:21] and capable of being challenged.

[00:19:24] Think about that.

[00:19:29] The effect of this,

[00:19:30] according to the Arab historian

[00:19:32] Macrizi,

[00:19:33] was to cause him

[00:19:35] to lean upon

[00:19:36] the personality

[00:19:37] of the teachers

[00:19:38] as the only possible source

[00:19:40] of the proper interpretation

[00:19:41] of facts.

[00:19:43] At the same time,

[00:19:44] the teachers hinted continually

[00:19:46] that formal knowledge

[00:19:47] was merely the cloak

[00:19:49] for hidden inner

[00:19:50] and powerful truth

[00:19:52] whose secret

[00:19:53] would be imparted

[00:19:54] when the youth

[00:19:54] was ready to receive it.

[00:19:56] This confusion technique

[00:19:58] was carried out

[00:19:58] until the student

[00:19:59] reached the stage

[00:20:00] where he was prepared

[00:20:02] to swear a vow

[00:20:03] of blind allegiance

[00:20:04] to one or other

[00:20:06] of his teachers.

[00:20:07] Going to pause again.

[00:20:09] Are you picking up

[00:20:10] what's being put down here?

[00:20:12] This is how

[00:20:12] all of these secret societies

[00:20:14] of today operate.

[00:20:16] First thing they do

[00:20:17] is they convince you

[00:20:18] everything you think

[00:20:19] you know is wrong

[00:20:21] and here's the thing,

[00:20:22] a lot of that

[00:20:23] in the modern culture

[00:20:24] that we live in

[00:20:25] is true.

[00:20:26] Much of what we're taught

[00:20:27] in our schools

[00:20:28] is wrong.

[00:20:30] So they have a lot

[00:20:32] to work with there.

[00:20:33] So they convince you

[00:20:34] that your beliefs,

[00:20:36] your core beliefs,

[00:20:36] your core values

[00:20:37] are wrong

[00:20:38] and that only they

[00:20:40] can give you

[00:20:41] a proper interpretation

[00:20:42] of that.

[00:20:43] If you just listen

[00:20:44] to your teacher

[00:20:44] do what they say,

[00:20:46] they will reveal

[00:20:47] the secrets to you

[00:20:49] over the course of time

[00:20:50] and then you

[00:20:51] swear an oath

[00:20:53] of allegiance.

[00:20:55] This oath,

[00:20:56] together with certain

[00:20:57] secret signs,

[00:20:59] was administered

[00:20:59] in due course

[00:21:00] and the candidate

[00:21:01] awarded the first degree

[00:21:02] of initiation.

[00:21:03] The second degree

[00:21:05] took the form

[00:21:06] of initiation

[00:21:06] into the fact

[00:21:07] that the imams

[00:21:09] or successors

[00:21:10] of Muhammad

[00:21:10] were the true

[00:21:12] and only sources

[00:21:13] of secret knowledge

[00:21:14] and power.

[00:21:15] Imams inspired

[00:21:16] the teachers,

[00:21:17] therefore the student

[00:21:18] was to acknowledge

[00:21:19] every saying

[00:21:20] and act

[00:21:21] of his appointed guides

[00:21:22] as blessed

[00:21:23] and divinely inspired.

[00:21:24] I'm going to pause

[00:21:25] for a moment here.

[00:21:26] So within the secret

[00:21:28] society groups

[00:21:28] of today,

[00:21:30] they're not necessarily

[00:21:31] claiming

[00:21:32] that the imams

[00:21:34] or the successors

[00:21:35] of Muhammad

[00:21:35] were the only

[00:21:36] true sources

[00:21:36] of knowledge

[00:21:37] and secret power.

[00:21:38] Not in some

[00:21:39] of the secret societies

[00:21:40] anyway,

[00:21:41] but they're claiming

[00:21:42] only the members

[00:21:43] of their order

[00:21:45] are the ones

[00:21:46] who know

[00:21:47] the secrets.

[00:21:50] They're the only ones

[00:21:53] who know about

[00:21:54] the secret knowledge

[00:21:55] and power

[00:21:55] and the only ones

[00:21:57] that can really

[00:22:01] speak with authority

[00:22:02] on that.

[00:22:03] They're the ones

[00:22:04] that were appointed

[00:22:05] as blessed

[00:22:06] and divinely inspired

[00:22:07] teachers within

[00:22:08] the fraternity.

[00:22:10] So this,

[00:22:12] if you're thinking

[00:22:13] in terms of

[00:22:14] Freemasonry,

[00:22:15] this would be

[00:22:16] your Manly P. Halls

[00:22:18] and your Albert Pikes

[00:22:22] of the world.

[00:22:24] Only these

[00:22:25] divinely inspired

[00:22:27] teachers

[00:22:28] know the true

[00:22:29] secrets

[00:22:29] and put them

[00:22:31] forward.

[00:22:33] Now let's read on.

[00:22:35] In the third degree,

[00:22:36] the esoteric

[00:22:37] names

[00:22:38] of the seven

[00:22:39] imams

[00:22:40] were revealed

[00:22:41] and the secret

[00:22:42] words by which

[00:22:43] they could be

[00:22:44] conjured

[00:22:44] and by which

[00:22:45] the powers

[00:22:46] inherent

[00:22:46] in the very

[00:22:47] repetition

[00:22:48] of their names

[00:22:49] could be

[00:22:49] liberated

[00:22:49] and used

[00:22:50] for the

[00:22:51] individual

[00:22:51] especially

[00:22:52] in the

[00:22:52] service

[00:22:53] of the sect.

[00:22:54] I'm going to

[00:22:54] pause for a

[00:22:55] moment here.

[00:22:56] So now,

[00:22:58] what does this

[00:23:00] look like

[00:23:01] in other

[00:23:02] secret society

[00:23:03] groups of today?

[00:23:04] Well,

[00:23:05] they will reveal

[00:23:06] to you

[00:23:07] secret words

[00:23:08] and their

[00:23:09] meanings

[00:23:11] and how

[00:23:12] you can

[00:23:13] use

[00:23:16] some of

[00:23:17] these

[00:23:18] power words

[00:23:20] and phrases

[00:23:21] in certain

[00:23:21] ways to bring

[00:23:22] about changes

[00:23:23] in your fortune

[00:23:24] or some such

[00:23:25] thing or how

[00:23:27] you have

[00:23:29] this inherent

[00:23:30] power that you

[00:23:31] can seek

[00:23:32] after.

[00:23:33] Looks a little

[00:23:34] different from what

[00:23:35] the basic formula

[00:23:36] given here is,

[00:23:37] but it all

[00:23:38] aligns in the

[00:23:38] same way.

[00:23:40] The degrees

[00:23:42] don't exactly

[00:23:43] follow with this

[00:23:44] because as you'll

[00:23:45] see later,

[00:23:47] some of the

[00:23:48] secret society

[00:23:48] groups

[00:23:50] have lessened

[00:23:52] this from

[00:23:52] nine degrees

[00:23:53] to seven degrees,

[00:23:54] the assassins

[00:23:55] being one,

[00:23:55] and some of

[00:23:56] them have

[00:23:57] expounded

[00:23:57] and expanded

[00:23:58] upon this.

[00:23:59] They don't

[00:23:59] offer all the

[00:24:00] same number

[00:24:01] of initiatory

[00:24:02] rights.

[00:24:02] There's a lot.

[00:24:04] They've adopted

[00:24:05] a lot.

[00:24:06] So these don't

[00:24:07] always align

[00:24:07] one for one

[00:24:08] with the

[00:24:09] initiations of

[00:24:10] the other

[00:24:11] secret society

[00:24:12] groups,

[00:24:12] but certainly

[00:24:12] it's a blueprint

[00:24:14] that they

[00:24:15] operate from.

[00:24:18] In the

[00:24:19] fourth degree,

[00:24:20] the succession

[00:24:21] of the seven

[00:24:22] mystical law

[00:24:23] givers and

[00:24:24] magical personalities

[00:24:25] was given

[00:24:27] to the learner.

[00:24:28] These were

[00:24:29] characterized as

[00:24:30] Adam,

[00:24:31] Noah,

[00:24:32] Abraham,

[00:24:33] Moses,

[00:24:34] Jesus,

[00:24:35] Muhammad,

[00:24:35] and Ishmael.

[00:24:37] There were

[00:24:38] seven mystical

[00:24:39] helpers,

[00:24:40] Seth,

[00:24:41] Shem,

[00:24:42] Ishmael,

[00:24:42] Aaron,

[00:24:43] Simon,

[00:24:44] Ali,

[00:24:44] and Muhammad,

[00:24:45] the son of

[00:24:46] Ishmael.

[00:24:47] This last was

[00:24:48] dead,

[00:24:49] but he had a

[00:24:49] mysterious deputy

[00:24:50] who was the

[00:24:52] true lord of

[00:24:53] the time,

[00:24:54] authorized to

[00:24:55] give his

[00:24:55] instructions to

[00:24:56] the people of

[00:24:57] truth,

[00:24:57] as the

[00:24:58] Ishmaelis

[00:24:58] called themselves.

[00:24:59] The hidden

[00:25:00] figure gave

[00:25:01] the caliph the

[00:25:02] power to

[00:25:02] pretend that

[00:25:03] he was acting

[00:25:04] under even

[00:25:05] higher instructions.

[00:25:06] is going to

[00:25:07] pause for a

[00:25:07] moment here,

[00:25:08] folks.

[00:25:08] So this would

[00:25:09] be this

[00:25:10] invisible

[00:25:11] seventh

[00:25:11] imam who

[00:25:13] guides from

[00:25:15] behind the

[00:25:16] veil.

[00:25:17] This would

[00:25:17] be congruent

[00:25:20] with what the

[00:25:22] theosophists might

[00:25:23] call one of

[00:25:25] the ascended

[00:25:26] masters speaking

[00:25:28] from the

[00:25:29] great white

[00:25:29] lodge.

[00:25:32] You can see

[00:25:33] how many of

[00:25:33] the ideologies

[00:25:34] have been

[00:25:35] adopted across

[00:25:36] the board.

[00:25:36] The names may

[00:25:37] change a little,

[00:25:38] but the

[00:25:38] blueprint's the

[00:25:39] same.

[00:25:40] That's the

[00:25:41] whole point

[00:25:41] here.

[00:25:41] That's the

[00:25:42] point I'm

[00:25:42] trying to

[00:25:42] get across.

[00:25:46] The fifth

[00:25:47] degree named

[00:25:50] twelve apostles

[00:25:52] under the

[00:25:53] seven prophets

[00:25:53] whose names

[00:25:55] and functions

[00:25:55] and magical

[00:25:56] powers were

[00:25:57] described.

[00:25:57] In this

[00:25:58] degree,

[00:25:59] the power to

[00:26:00] influence others

[00:26:00] by means of

[00:26:01] personal concentration

[00:26:02] was supposed to

[00:26:03] be taught.

[00:26:04] One writer

[00:26:05] claims that

[00:26:05] this was done

[00:26:06] merely by the

[00:26:07] repetition for a

[00:26:08] period of three

[00:26:09] years to train

[00:26:09] the mind of a

[00:26:10] specific magical

[00:26:11] word, which it

[00:26:12] lists here in the

[00:26:13] text that I will

[00:26:14] dare not try to

[00:26:15] pronounce because

[00:26:16] I'll butcher the

[00:26:17] pronunciation first

[00:26:18] of all and

[00:26:19] second of all,

[00:26:20] I don't think

[00:26:21] it's prudent to

[00:26:22] do so.

[00:26:22] You can find

[00:26:23] this book and

[00:26:24] find this word

[00:26:25] for yourself if

[00:26:26] you really are

[00:26:27] that interested

[00:26:28] in seeing what

[00:26:29] it is.

[00:26:30] It's a three

[00:26:31] syllable word

[00:26:32] looks like

[00:26:33] Arabic to me.

[00:26:35] But at any

[00:26:36] rate, this is

[00:26:38] what's claimed

[00:26:38] in the fifth

[00:26:39] degree of these

[00:26:40] teachings that

[00:26:41] were given to

[00:26:42] the Ishmaelis at

[00:26:43] the House of

[00:26:44] Wisdom in Cairo.

[00:26:45] This is what's

[00:26:46] said, and you'll

[00:26:47] notice a lot of

[00:26:47] this ties over

[00:26:49] into magic.

[00:26:52] This is what's

[00:26:53] taught in some

[00:26:56] of the higher

[00:26:57] degrees of the

[00:26:58] secret society

[00:26:59] groups that we

[00:27:00] have today.

[00:27:01] Those that step

[00:27:02] beyond what you

[00:27:03] would call the

[00:27:04] Blue Lodge in

[00:27:05] Freemasonry, this

[00:27:07] is the broad

[00:27:07] power base.

[00:27:08] This is the

[00:27:09] exterior face of

[00:27:12] the order where

[00:27:13] the ones that are

[00:27:14] involved there,

[00:27:15] they really don't

[00:27:16] know what goes on

[00:27:17] at the higher

[00:27:18] levels.

[00:27:19] They think they

[00:27:20] know, but they

[00:27:21] do not.

[00:27:23] And this gives

[00:27:24] them plausible

[00:27:25] deniability on a lot

[00:27:27] of these things.

[00:27:27] And this operates

[00:27:29] the same, and

[00:27:29] we'll see when we

[00:27:30] get a little

[00:27:31] further on here,

[00:27:32] when we get into

[00:27:34] the assassins

[00:27:35] organization itself,

[00:27:36] how a lot of

[00:27:37] this has been

[00:27:38] split down even

[00:27:39] further as far as

[00:27:41] the organization

[00:27:41] goes.

[00:27:42] Because remember,

[00:27:43] this is the

[00:27:43] important portion.

[00:27:44] This is what

[00:27:45] Hassan Sabah

[00:27:46] thought, and this

[00:27:47] is what many

[00:27:48] within the

[00:27:48] Nazari Ishmaeli

[00:27:50] cults thought,

[00:27:51] that through

[00:27:52] proper organization,

[00:27:55] they can conquer

[00:27:57] the world.

[00:27:59] Even though they

[00:28:01] may have small

[00:28:01] numbers compared

[00:28:04] to others, it's

[00:28:06] all in how it's

[00:28:08] organized that

[00:28:09] things get done.

[00:28:11] We'll keep that in

[00:28:12] mind as we

[00:28:13] continue.

[00:28:14] To obtain the

[00:28:15] sixth degree

[00:28:16] involved instruction

[00:28:18] in the methods of

[00:28:19] analytical and

[00:28:20] destructive argument,

[00:28:21] in which the

[00:28:22] postulant had to

[00:28:23] pass a stiff

[00:28:23] examination.

[00:28:25] Going to

[00:28:25] pause there, so

[00:28:27] analytical and

[00:28:28] destructive argument.

[00:28:30] This is the art of

[00:28:31] rhetoric, ladies and

[00:28:32] gentlemen.

[00:28:32] It's something that's

[00:28:34] lost in the bulk

[00:28:35] of the masses

[00:28:36] today.

[00:28:37] Rhetoric.

[00:28:39] The seventh degree

[00:28:40] brought revelation

[00:28:41] of the great

[00:28:42] secret, that all

[00:28:45] humanity and all

[00:28:46] creation were one,

[00:28:47] and every single

[00:28:48] thing was part of

[00:28:50] the whole, which

[00:28:51] included the

[00:28:53] creative and

[00:28:54] destructive power.

[00:28:56] Going to pause

[00:28:57] for a moment, so

[00:28:58] now it's beginning

[00:28:58] to sound like every

[00:28:59] other secret society

[00:29:00] group out there,

[00:29:01] doesn't it?

[00:29:02] Let's continue.

[00:29:04] But as an

[00:29:05] Ishmaelie, the

[00:29:06] individual could

[00:29:06] make use of the

[00:29:08] power, which was

[00:29:09] ready to be awakened

[00:29:10] within him, and

[00:29:12] overcome those who

[00:29:13] knew nothing of the

[00:29:15] immense potential of

[00:29:16] the rest of

[00:29:16] humanity.

[00:29:17] This power came

[00:29:18] through the aid of

[00:29:19] the mysterious power

[00:29:21] called the Lord of

[00:29:23] the Time, or the

[00:29:25] invisible imam.

[00:29:30] To qualify for the

[00:29:31] eighth degree, the

[00:29:33] aspirant had to

[00:29:34] believe that all

[00:29:35] religion, philosophy,

[00:29:36] and the like were

[00:29:37] fraudulent.

[00:29:39] Going to pause for a

[00:29:40] moment, and this is

[00:29:42] absolutely 100% what

[00:29:45] they teach at the

[00:29:46] highest most levels of

[00:29:48] all of these secret

[00:29:50] society groups, because

[00:29:51] this is the core to

[00:29:53] their power.

[00:29:54] When you get high

[00:29:56] enough, and I

[00:29:57] shouldn't say the

[00:29:58] highest most levels,

[00:29:59] this is probably the

[00:30:00] secondary level

[00:30:01] underneath, they

[00:30:03] teach you that all

[00:30:05] religion, philosophy,

[00:30:06] and the like are

[00:30:07] fraudulent.

[00:30:08] And we'll see that

[00:30:11] Hassan Sabah had a

[00:30:14] phrase that he used

[00:30:16] that was the core

[00:30:18] truth behind the

[00:30:20] secret doctrine of

[00:30:20] the assassins,

[00:30:21] according to him.

[00:30:24] Nothing is true,

[00:30:25] all is permitted.

[00:30:28] That is what the

[00:30:31] core of the secret

[00:30:33] doctrine of all of

[00:30:35] these secret society

[00:30:36] groups is.

[00:30:36] That's what they

[00:30:37] believe, and that's

[00:30:39] why they don't have

[00:30:40] any compunction with

[00:30:41] violating their own

[00:30:43] standards that they

[00:30:46] put forward if it

[00:30:48] suits their purposes.

[00:30:49] The ends always

[00:30:50] justify the means,

[00:30:52] according to these

[00:30:52] people, and that is

[00:30:53] why they believe

[00:30:55] nothing is true.

[00:30:59] All is permitted.

[00:31:01] They think themselves

[00:31:02] beyond moral

[00:31:07] values.

[00:31:08] They think themselves

[00:31:09] beyond being

[00:31:11] subject to these

[00:31:12] natural laws, which

[00:31:14] are inherent in

[00:31:15] this place.

[00:31:17] Let's read on.

[00:31:18] So he says,

[00:31:19] all that mattered

[00:31:19] was the individual

[00:31:20] who could attain

[00:31:22] fulfillment only

[00:31:23] through servitude to

[00:31:24] the greatest

[00:31:25] developed power,

[00:31:26] the Imam.

[00:31:27] Now, the ninth

[00:31:29] and last degree

[00:31:30] brought the

[00:31:31] revelation of

[00:31:32] the secret that

[00:31:33] there was no

[00:31:34] such thing as

[00:31:35] belief.

[00:31:36] All that mattered

[00:31:37] was action.

[00:31:39] And the only

[00:31:40] possessor of the

[00:31:41] reasons for

[00:31:42] carrying out any

[00:31:43] action was the

[00:31:44] chief of the

[00:31:45] sect.

[00:31:46] So I'm going to

[00:31:47] pause for a moment

[00:31:48] here.

[00:31:50] Now, this is

[00:31:52] something that

[00:31:54] many people may

[00:31:55] contest and argue

[00:31:57] with, with these

[00:31:58] other secret society

[00:32:00] groups like we

[00:32:00] have today.

[00:32:02] They may say,

[00:32:04] that doesn't

[00:32:04] apply,

[00:32:06] doesn't it?

[00:32:09] Interesting, all the

[00:32:11] Freemasons seem to

[00:32:12] vote the same way.

[00:32:14] As the rest of

[00:32:15] their lodge.

[00:32:16] Interesting, they all

[00:32:18] take up the same

[00:32:18] causes.

[00:32:19] They all help each

[00:32:20] other out in many

[00:32:21] of these ways.

[00:32:22] And who calls the

[00:32:23] shots?

[00:32:23] Who tells them

[00:32:24] what to do?

[00:32:27] Well, there's a

[00:32:28] leader, may not be

[00:32:29] called the Imam in

[00:32:32] any particular

[00:32:32] fraternity, but

[00:32:33] there's always

[00:32:34] somebody who claims

[00:32:35] to know better and

[00:32:37] claims to have your

[00:32:38] best interests or the

[00:32:39] best interests of the

[00:32:40] organization and

[00:32:44] in mind.

[00:32:45] And you follow

[00:32:46] that precept.

[00:32:49] As we see here,

[00:32:51] this is how the

[00:32:53] organizing structure

[00:32:54] of the early

[00:32:56] Ishmaelis was

[00:32:57] going into the

[00:32:59] advent of the

[00:33:01] assassins by

[00:33:03] Hassan Sabah.

[00:33:05] As a secret

[00:33:07] society, the

[00:33:07] organization of

[00:33:08] Ishmaelis, as

[00:33:09] outlined above, was

[00:33:10] undoubtedly powerful and

[00:33:11] seemed likely to

[00:33:12] produce a large number

[00:33:13] of devotees who would

[00:33:14] blindly obey the

[00:33:16] orders of whomever was

[00:33:17] in control of the

[00:33:18] edifice.

[00:33:19] But as with other

[00:33:20] bodies of this kind,

[00:33:21] there were severe

[00:33:22] limitations from the

[00:33:23] point of view of

[00:33:24] effectiveness.

[00:33:25] Perhaps the phase of

[00:33:27] revolt or subversion

[00:33:28] planned by the

[00:33:29] society did not, in

[00:33:30] the end, get

[00:33:31] underway.

[00:33:32] Perhaps it was not

[00:33:33] intended to work by

[00:33:34] any other means than

[00:33:36] training the

[00:33:37] individual.

[00:33:38] Be that as it may,

[00:33:39] its real success

[00:33:40] extended abroad only in

[00:33:42] 1058 to Baghdad, where

[00:33:44] a member gained

[00:33:45] temporary control of

[00:33:46] Baghdad and coined

[00:33:48] money in the

[00:33:49] Egyptian caliph's name.

[00:33:50] This sultan was

[00:33:52] slain by the

[00:33:52] Turks, who now

[00:33:53] entered the

[00:33:54] picture, and the

[00:33:55] Cairo headquarters was

[00:33:56] also threatened.

[00:33:57] By the year 1123, the

[00:33:59] society was closed

[00:34:00] down by the

[00:34:01] vizier, Afdal.

[00:34:02] The rise of

[00:34:03] Turkish power seemed

[00:34:05] to have discouraged

[00:34:06] the expansionist

[00:34:07] Cairo sect so

[00:34:08] strongly that they

[00:34:09] almost faded out and

[00:34:10] little was heard of

[00:34:11] them after that

[00:34:12] date.

[00:34:13] It was left to

[00:34:14] Hassan, son of

[00:34:15] Sabah, the old

[00:34:16] man of the mountains,

[00:34:18] to perfect the

[00:34:19] system of the

[00:34:20] ailing secret

[00:34:20] society, and found

[00:34:22] an organization which

[00:34:23] has endured for

[00:34:24] nearly another

[00:34:24] thousand years.

[00:34:26] Who was Hassan?

[00:34:27] He was the son of a

[00:34:29] Shia, or one who

[00:34:30] worshipped Ali.

[00:34:32] In Khorasan, a most

[00:34:34] bigoted man, who

[00:34:36] claimed that his

[00:34:36] ancestors were Arabs

[00:34:38] from Kufa.

[00:34:39] This assumption was

[00:34:40] probably due to the

[00:34:41] fact that such

[00:34:41] lineage bolstered up

[00:34:43] claims to religious

[00:34:44] importance, then as

[00:34:45] now among Muslims.

[00:34:47] The people of the

[00:34:48] neighborhood, many of

[00:34:49] them also Shias, stated

[00:34:51] very decisively that

[00:34:52] Ali was a Persian, and

[00:34:54] so were his

[00:34:54] forebears.

[00:34:55] It is generally

[00:34:56] thought that this is

[00:34:57] the truer version.

[00:34:58] As the governor of

[00:34:59] the province was an

[00:35:01] Orthodox Muslim, Ali

[00:35:02] spared no efforts to

[00:35:04] assume the same

[00:35:04] guise.

[00:35:05] This is considered to

[00:35:06] be completely

[00:35:07] permissible, due to

[00:35:09] this secret doctrine

[00:35:11] of the assassins and

[00:35:12] all the other secret

[00:35:13] society groups, which

[00:35:14] is called the

[00:35:15] doctrine of

[00:35:16] intelligent

[00:35:17] dissimulation.

[00:35:19] What does that

[00:35:20] mean, folks?

[00:35:21] They lie.

[00:35:23] That's what it

[00:35:24] means.

[00:35:24] They misrepresent

[00:35:25] who they are and

[00:35:27] what they believe in

[00:35:29] public and

[00:35:30] privately.

[00:35:31] They believe and do

[00:35:33] other things.

[00:35:35] The doctrine of

[00:35:37] intelligent

[00:35:37] dissimulation.

[00:35:39] As there was some

[00:35:41] doubt as to his

[00:35:41] reliability in the

[00:35:43] religious sense, he

[00:35:44] retired into a

[00:35:45] monastic retreat and

[00:35:47] sent his son,

[00:35:48] Hassan, to an

[00:35:50] Orthodox school.

[00:35:51] This school was no

[00:35:52] ordinary one.

[00:35:53] It was the circle of

[00:35:54] disciples presided over

[00:35:55] by the redoubtable

[00:35:57] Imam Muhafiq,

[00:36:01] about whom it was

[00:36:02] said that every

[00:36:03] individual who

[00:36:04] enrolled under him

[00:36:05] eventually rose to

[00:36:06] great power.

[00:36:08] Muhafiq.

[00:36:08] This was the teacher

[00:36:10] of Omar Khayyam,

[00:36:12] as we'll see here,

[00:36:14] and also Hassan.

[00:36:17] That's right.

[00:36:18] Hassan Sabah was

[00:36:20] friends with

[00:36:21] Omar Khayyam,

[00:36:24] and was a student

[00:36:25] under the same

[00:36:26] master as

[00:36:27] Omar Khayyam,

[00:36:29] a renowned

[00:36:29] individual,

[00:36:30] Muhafiq.

[00:36:34] And we'll see

[00:36:35] where it goes from

[00:36:37] here.

[00:36:40] It was here that

[00:36:42] Hassan met Omar Khayyam,

[00:36:44] the tentmaker,

[00:36:44] poet, and

[00:36:45] astronomer, later

[00:36:46] to be the poet

[00:36:47] laureate of Persia.

[00:36:48] Another of his

[00:36:49] schoolmates was

[00:36:50] Nizam ul-Mulk, who

[00:36:52] rose from peasanthood

[00:36:54] to become prime

[00:36:54] minister.

[00:36:55] These three made

[00:36:56] a pact, according

[00:36:57] to Nizam's

[00:36:58] autobiography,

[00:36:59] whereby whichever

[00:37:00] rose to high office

[00:37:01] first would help

[00:37:02] the others.

[00:37:03] Nizam, the

[00:37:04] courtier, became

[00:37:05] vizier to Alp

[00:37:06] Arslan, the

[00:37:07] Turkish sultan of

[00:37:08] Persia, in a

[00:37:09] relatively short

[00:37:10] time.

[00:37:10] He helped Omar Khayyam

[00:37:12] in accordance with

[00:37:13] his vow and

[00:37:13] secured him a

[00:37:14] pension which

[00:37:15] gave him a life

[00:37:16] of ease and

[00:37:17] indulgence in his

[00:37:18] beloved Nishapur,

[00:37:20] where many of his

[00:37:21] Rubiat poems were

[00:37:22] written.

[00:37:23] Meanwhile, Hassan

[00:37:24] remained in

[00:37:25] obscurity, wandering

[00:37:26] through the Middle

[00:37:27] East, waiting for

[00:37:27] his chance to

[00:37:28] attain power, of

[00:37:29] which he had

[00:37:30] dreamed.

[00:37:31] Arslan, the

[00:37:32] lion, died and

[00:37:33] was succeeded by

[00:37:34] Malik Shah.

[00:37:35] Suddenly, Hassan

[00:37:36] presented himself to

[00:37:38] Nizam, demanding

[00:37:39] to be given a

[00:37:40] place at court.

[00:37:41] Delighted to

[00:37:42] fulfill his

[00:37:42] childhood vow, the

[00:37:43] vizier obtained for

[00:37:44] him a favored

[00:37:45] place and relates

[00:37:47] what transpired thus

[00:37:48] in his autobiography,

[00:37:49] and he says,

[00:37:50] quote,

[00:37:50] I had him made a

[00:37:52] minister by my

[00:37:53] strong and

[00:37:54] extravagant

[00:37:54] recommendations.

[00:37:55] Like his father,

[00:37:56] however, he proved

[00:37:57] to be a fraud,

[00:37:59] hypocrite, and

[00:37:59] self-seeking villain.

[00:38:01] He was so clever at

[00:38:02] dissimulation that he

[00:38:04] appeared to be pious

[00:38:05] when he was not,

[00:38:06] and before long he

[00:38:07] had somehow completely

[00:38:08] captured the mind of

[00:38:09] the Shah, end

[00:38:10] quote.

[00:38:11] So I'm going to

[00:38:12] pause for a moment.

[00:38:13] So, Hassan

[00:38:15] Sabah, he appeared

[00:38:18] to be very pious and

[00:38:20] devout and religious

[00:38:21] on the surface, but

[00:38:23] certainly he was not.

[00:38:27] He used false

[00:38:28] pretense, a false

[00:38:30] face, to make people

[00:38:32] believe he was

[00:38:33] something he most

[00:38:34] certainly was not.

[00:38:35] And we'll see how

[00:38:38] the rest of this

[00:38:39] goes and how this

[00:38:40] translates into what

[00:38:42] happens in secret

[00:38:44] societies in general,

[00:38:46] even today.

[00:38:48] Malik Shah was young

[00:38:50] and Hassan was

[00:38:51] trained in the Shia

[00:38:52] art of winning

[00:38:52] people over by

[00:38:54] apparent honesty.

[00:38:55] But Nizam was

[00:38:57] still the most

[00:38:58] important man in

[00:38:58] the realm and an

[00:38:59] impressive record of

[00:39:00] honest dealing and

[00:39:02] achievements.

[00:39:03] Hassan decided to

[00:39:04] eliminate him,

[00:39:05] going to pause for

[00:39:06] a moment.

[00:39:07] This guy who was

[00:39:08] his friend, who

[00:39:09] owed him the

[00:39:09] favor, who made

[00:39:10] the promise to

[00:39:11] him and fulfilled

[00:39:11] the promise.

[00:39:12] So now he's going

[00:39:14] to betray him.

[00:39:15] Interesting.

[00:39:17] This was the kind

[00:39:18] of disposition

[00:39:19] Hassan Sabah had.

[00:39:21] The king had

[00:39:22] asked in that year

[00:39:24] 1078 for a

[00:39:25] complete accounting

[00:39:25] of the revenue

[00:39:26] and expenditure of

[00:39:27] the empire and

[00:39:28] Nizam told him

[00:39:29] that this would

[00:39:30] take over a

[00:39:31] year.

[00:39:31] Hassan, on the

[00:39:32] other hand, claimed

[00:39:33] that the whole work

[00:39:34] could be done in

[00:39:35] 40 days and

[00:39:36] offered to prove

[00:39:36] it.

[00:39:37] The task was

[00:39:38] assigned to him

[00:39:39] and the accounts

[00:39:40] were prepared in

[00:39:41] the specified time.

[00:39:42] Something went

[00:39:43] wrong at this

[00:39:44] point, however.

[00:39:45] The balance of

[00:39:46] historical opinion

[00:39:47] holds that Nizam

[00:39:48] struck back at the

[00:39:50] last moment,

[00:39:50] saying,

[00:39:50] by Allah, this man

[00:39:52] will destroy us

[00:39:53] all unless he is

[00:39:54] rendered harmless,

[00:39:55] though I cannot

[00:39:56] kill my playmate.

[00:39:57] Whatever the truth

[00:39:58] may be, it seems

[00:39:59] that Nizam managed

[00:40:00] to have changed

[00:40:01] the writings and

[00:40:03] made such

[00:40:04] disparities,

[00:40:04] introduced into

[00:40:06] the final

[00:40:06] calligraphic

[00:40:09] version of the

[00:40:10] accounts,

[00:40:10] that when Hassan

[00:40:11] started to read

[00:40:12] them, they

[00:40:13] appeared to be

[00:40:14] so absurd that

[00:40:15] the Shah, in

[00:40:16] fury, ordered him

[00:40:18] to be exiled.

[00:40:19] As he had claimed

[00:40:20] to have written

[00:40:20] the accounts in

[00:40:21] his own hand,

[00:40:22] Hassan could not

[00:40:23] justify their

[00:40:24] incredible deficiencies.

[00:40:26] Hassan had friends

[00:40:27] in Isfahan, where

[00:40:28] he immediately

[00:40:29] fled.

[00:40:30] There survives a

[00:40:31] record of what he

[00:40:32] said there, which

[00:40:33] sheds an interesting

[00:40:34] light upon what

[00:40:35] was on his mind.

[00:40:36] One of his

[00:40:37] friends and later

[00:40:37] followers, Abu

[00:40:39] al-Fazal, notes

[00:40:41] that Hassan,

[00:40:42] after reciting the

[00:40:43] bitter tale of his

[00:40:44] own downfall, shouted

[00:40:45] these words in a

[00:40:46] state of uncontrollable

[00:40:47] rage.

[00:40:48] He said, if I

[00:40:49] had two, just two

[00:40:51] devotees who would

[00:40:52] stand by me, then I

[00:40:54] would cause the

[00:40:54] downfall of that

[00:40:56] Turk and that

[00:40:57] peasant.

[00:40:58] Fazal concluded

[00:40:59] that Hassan had

[00:41:00] taken leave of his

[00:41:01] senses and tried to

[00:41:02] get him out of this

[00:41:03] ugly mood.

[00:41:04] Hassan took umbrage

[00:41:05] and insisted that he

[00:41:06] was working on a

[00:41:07] plan and that he

[00:41:08] would have his

[00:41:09] revenge.

[00:41:09] He set off for

[00:41:11] Egypt there to

[00:41:12] mature his plans.

[00:41:13] Fazal himself later

[00:41:15] became a devotee of

[00:41:17] the assassin chief.

[00:41:18] And Hassan, two

[00:41:19] decades later, reminded

[00:41:20] him of that day in

[00:41:22] Isfahan.

[00:41:23] And he said, later

[00:41:25] on, this was when

[00:41:27] Hassan Sabah took

[00:41:28] power.

[00:41:29] He said, here I am at

[00:41:30] Alamut, master of all

[00:41:33] I survey and more.

[00:41:34] The sultan and the

[00:41:35] peasant Vizier are

[00:41:36] dead.

[00:41:37] Have I not kept my

[00:41:38] vow?

[00:41:39] Was I the madman you

[00:41:40] thought me to be?

[00:41:41] I found my two

[00:41:42] devotees who were

[00:41:43] necessary to my

[00:41:44] plans.

[00:41:45] And this is just

[00:41:47] some of the

[00:41:47] background of where

[00:41:53] the assassins came

[00:41:55] from.

[00:41:57] And we're going to

[00:41:58] get to the rest of the

[00:41:59] story here.

[00:42:00] We're going to get

[00:42:01] into the primary

[00:42:02] account now that

[00:42:04] we're working from,

[00:42:05] now that we laid down

[00:42:06] the general background

[00:42:08] of where this all

[00:42:10] came from.

[00:42:11] So Sabah was

[00:42:14] taught by the same

[00:42:15] teacher as Omar

[00:42:16] Kayyem.

[00:42:18] He had all kinds

[00:42:20] of training in the

[00:42:21] House of Wisdom

[00:42:22] in Cairo, took on

[00:42:24] the Ishmaelie

[00:42:25] teachings, took on

[00:42:26] the secret doctrines,

[00:42:28] took on this

[00:42:32] doctrine of

[00:42:33] intelligent

[00:42:33] dissimulation,

[00:42:37] took all these

[00:42:38] things into account

[00:42:39] and crafted his own

[00:42:40] revenge on the

[00:42:42] Shah and his

[00:42:45] former friend

[00:42:46] who did him

[00:42:48] wrong because he

[00:42:49] wanted power.

[00:42:52] He wanted to be

[00:42:54] in charge.

[00:42:56] He had a lot

[00:42:58] of ambition.

[00:43:03] So how he came

[00:43:04] about this was

[00:43:08] through a little

[00:43:09] bit of subterfuge

[00:43:10] and some clever

[00:43:12] maneuvering after

[00:43:15] he had used the

[00:43:16] art of rhetoric

[00:43:17] to make people

[00:43:19] believe him to be

[00:43:20] a powerful figure,

[00:43:23] to be a

[00:43:24] representative of

[00:43:25] God on earth.

[00:43:26] He got himself

[00:43:26] some devotees and

[00:43:27] followers and he

[00:43:29] managed to trick

[00:43:30] through subterfuge

[00:43:32] and various means

[00:43:33] the master of the

[00:43:36] castle of Alamut

[00:43:37] to give over the

[00:43:39] property to him.

[00:43:41] And this is where

[00:43:43] he set up his

[00:43:44] stronghold,

[00:43:45] Alamut,

[00:43:46] also called the

[00:43:48] Vulture's Nest

[00:43:48] or the Eagle's

[00:43:49] Nest,

[00:43:50] so called from its

[00:43:51] impregnable position,

[00:43:54] situated in the

[00:43:56] 50 degree,

[00:43:56] 30 minute east

[00:43:57] longitude and

[00:43:58] 36 degree north

[00:43:59] latitude.

[00:44:00] It's the largest

[00:44:01] and strongest of

[00:44:02] 50 castles which

[00:44:03] lie scattered about

[00:44:04] the district of

[00:44:05] Rudbar at a

[00:44:07] distance of 60

[00:44:08] Farsang's north

[00:44:09] of Kaswin.

[00:44:10] It's said to be

[00:44:11] about 100

[00:44:12] kilometers from

[00:44:13] Tehran to give

[00:44:14] you an idea as

[00:44:16] to where this is.

[00:44:17] It is a mountainous

[00:44:19] country on the

[00:44:19] confines of

[00:44:20] Dilem and

[00:44:21] Iraq, watered by

[00:44:23] the Sherud or

[00:44:24] Kings River.

[00:44:25] Two streams bear

[00:44:26] this name, one of

[00:44:27] which rises in the

[00:44:28] Mount Talcon near

[00:44:29] Kaswin, the other

[00:44:31] in Mount Shehir,

[00:44:32] and flows through

[00:44:33] the district Rudbar

[00:44:35] of Alamut.

[00:44:36] Rudbar means

[00:44:37] river land and

[00:44:39] is applied to

[00:44:40] another district as

[00:44:41] well as this

[00:44:42] northern one which

[00:44:43] is called of

[00:44:44] Alamut, to

[00:44:45] distinguish it from

[00:44:46] the southern

[00:44:46] Rudbar of

[00:44:47] Lur, which is

[00:44:50] situated near

[00:44:50] Ispahan and

[00:44:51] is watered by

[00:44:52] the river of

[00:44:53] life, Sendrud,

[00:44:54] as the former

[00:44:55] is by the

[00:44:56] king's river,

[00:44:57] Shahrud.

[00:44:59] Hassan, who

[00:45:01] had hitherto

[00:45:01] sought in vain

[00:45:02] for some central

[00:45:03] point for the

[00:45:04] foundation of his

[00:45:04] power, at length

[00:45:05] took possession of

[00:45:07] the castle of

[00:45:08] Alamut, on the

[00:45:09] night of Wednesday,

[00:45:10] the sixth of the

[00:45:11] month of Redesheb,

[00:45:12] in the 483rd year

[00:45:15] after the flight of

[00:45:16] Mohammed, and the

[00:45:18] 1090th year after

[00:45:19] the birth of Christ,

[00:45:21] so this is in

[00:45:22] 1090 A.D., in the

[00:45:25] modern era as we

[00:45:26] would know it.

[00:45:28] Seven centuries

[00:45:29] before the French

[00:45:30] Revolution, whose

[00:45:31] first movers were the

[00:45:32] tools or leaders of

[00:45:33] secret societies,

[00:45:34] which, like the

[00:45:35] Ishmaelites, then

[00:45:37] openly attempted

[00:45:38] what they had in

[00:45:39] secret contemplated,

[00:45:40] the overthrow of

[00:45:41] thrones and

[00:45:42] altars.

[00:45:43] Long experience and

[00:45:45] extensive knowledge

[00:45:46] of mankind, profound

[00:45:47] study of politics and

[00:45:49] history, had taught

[00:45:50] the son of Sabah

[00:45:51] that an atheistical

[00:45:53] and immoral system

[00:45:54] was more calculated

[00:45:55] to accomplish the

[00:45:56] ruin than the

[00:45:58] establishment of

[00:45:59] dynasties and the

[00:46:00] confusion rather than

[00:46:01] the ordering of

[00:46:02] states, that

[00:46:03] lawlessness may be

[00:46:04] the canon of the

[00:46:05] ruler, but ought

[00:46:06] never to be the

[00:46:07] code of the

[00:46:08] subject, that the

[00:46:10] many are only held

[00:46:11] together by the

[00:46:12] few by the bridle

[00:46:13] of the law, and

[00:46:15] that morality and

[00:46:16] religion are the

[00:46:16] best sureties of

[00:46:18] the obedience of

[00:46:19] nations and the

[00:46:20] security of princes.

[00:46:22] Going to pause

[00:46:23] for a moment here.

[00:46:26] So, this double

[00:46:29] doctrine.

[00:46:30] That's what he's

[00:46:31] talking about, this

[00:46:32] double standard.

[00:46:34] You see, externally,

[00:46:37] he wanted to be

[00:46:38] presented as a

[00:46:40] pious law-abiding

[00:46:41] individual, and

[00:46:43] all of this order

[00:46:44] had to appear to be

[00:46:46] very pious men, and

[00:46:48] all of the culture

[00:46:48] surrounding them

[00:46:49] were held to these

[00:46:51] high standards of

[00:46:53] law.

[00:46:54] But, behind the

[00:46:55] scenes, their secret

[00:46:56] doctrine was to

[00:46:57] disregard all of

[00:46:58] that.

[00:46:59] It's all for show.

[00:47:01] It's all theater,

[00:47:03] folks.

[00:47:04] Political theater.

[00:47:08] Are you picking up

[00:47:09] what I'm putting

[00:47:09] down yet?

[00:47:10] We'll get a little

[00:47:11] further here.

[00:47:14] Initiated into the

[00:47:15] highest grade of the

[00:47:16] Lodge of Cairo, he

[00:47:17] clearly penetrated

[00:47:18] their plan of

[00:47:19] boundless ambition,

[00:47:20] whose object was

[00:47:22] nothing less than

[00:47:22] the destruction of

[00:47:23] the Caliphate of

[00:47:24] the Abbasides, and

[00:47:26] the raising new

[00:47:27] thrones on their

[00:47:28] ruins.

[00:47:29] He who had till

[00:47:30] now acted as

[00:47:32] Dei, or religious

[00:47:33] nuncio and political

[00:47:35] envoy, in the name

[00:47:36] of the Fatimite

[00:47:37] Caliph, Mosta

[00:47:39] Tsar, formed the

[00:47:40] resolution of

[00:47:41] securing power to

[00:47:43] himself instead of

[00:47:44] his superior, and

[00:47:45] did not apply

[00:47:46] himself to the

[00:47:47] destruction of the

[00:47:48] works of foreign

[00:47:49] wisdom and policy,

[00:47:50] so much as to

[00:47:52] found and fortify

[00:47:53] the edifice of

[00:47:54] his own.

[00:47:55] Since, in the

[00:47:57] opinion of the

[00:47:58] Muslim, the supreme

[00:47:59] dominion was always

[00:48:01] vested in the person

[00:48:02] of the Imam Caliph,

[00:48:04] and the people were

[00:48:06] merely divided as to

[00:48:07] whether this was

[00:48:08] legally inherited by

[00:48:09] the families of

[00:48:10] Omiya, Abbas, or

[00:48:12] Fatima.

[00:48:13] No other resource was

[00:48:14] left to an ambitious

[00:48:16] chief who usurped

[00:48:17] thrones and

[00:48:18] sovereignty than to

[00:48:20] seek them under the

[00:48:21] shadow of the

[00:48:22] Caliphate, at that

[00:48:23] time itself a shadow,

[00:48:25] Caliphate, and in the

[00:48:27] name of the reigning

[00:48:28] Caliph, so had but

[00:48:30] lately the family of

[00:48:32] Seljuk, as others had

[00:48:34] done before, possessed

[00:48:35] themselves of the rule

[00:48:37] in Asia, in the name of

[00:48:39] the Caliph of Baghdad,

[00:48:41] Hassan Sabah, who had

[00:48:44] been unsuccessful in his

[00:48:45] hopes at the court of

[00:48:46] the Seljukites, and had

[00:48:49] disagreed both with the

[00:48:50] Sultan and his

[00:48:51] Vizier, could only come

[00:48:52] forward for the Caliph of

[00:48:54] Cairo.

[00:48:55] In his name, and under

[00:48:57] the appearance of the

[00:48:58] strictest piety, he

[00:48:59] gained disciples,

[00:49:01] ostensibly for the

[00:49:02] Caliphate of Cairo and

[00:49:04] religion, but in reality

[00:49:05] for himself and the

[00:49:07] projects of his lawless

[00:49:08] ambition.

[00:49:09] I'm going to pause for a

[00:49:10] moment.

[00:49:11] So he presented himself

[00:49:12] as a pious individual,

[00:49:14] a religious leader,

[00:49:17] working for the highest

[00:49:19] accepted power in the

[00:49:22] land at that time, the

[00:49:23] one who was supposed to

[00:49:25] represent the will of

[00:49:26] God on earth.

[00:49:28] But he had other

[00:49:29] things in mind.

[00:49:33] Let's continue.

[00:49:35] He obtained possession

[00:49:37] of Alamut, partly by

[00:49:39] stratagem and partly by

[00:49:40] force, and the artifice

[00:49:42] by which he succeeded

[00:49:43] received a higher

[00:49:44] confirmation in the eyes

[00:49:46] of the multitude by means

[00:49:47] of the Kabbalah, which

[00:49:51] very luckily found in the

[00:49:53] letters of the word

[00:49:54] Alamut, the date of the

[00:49:56] current year of 483.

[00:49:59] That's in the Muslim

[00:50:02] calendar, the Islamic

[00:50:04] calendar, 483, year of

[00:50:06] Hijra.

[00:50:08] Hassan adopted the same

[00:50:10] trick against the Madi,

[00:50:11] the commandant of the

[00:50:13] castle, in the name of

[00:50:15] the Sultan Melech

[00:50:16] Shah, which history

[00:50:18] mentions as having been

[00:50:19] used at the foundation of

[00:50:21] Carthage and other cities.

[00:50:23] And this is what, this is

[00:50:24] the trick that he had

[00:50:26] performed.

[00:50:28] This is what he had done,

[00:50:29] the deception he used to

[00:50:31] get his hands on Alamut

[00:50:33] castle.

[00:50:33] He requested, at the price

[00:50:36] of 3,000 Dukats, as much

[00:50:38] land as an ox's hide would

[00:50:40] only contain.

[00:50:41] He split the hide into

[00:50:43] strips and with them

[00:50:44] surrounded the castle.

[00:50:46] Medi, who had already

[00:50:47] some time earlier excluded

[00:50:49] the Ishmaelites from the

[00:50:50] fortress, and then on an

[00:50:52] arrangement taking place

[00:50:53] had readmitted them, was

[00:50:55] on his not acceding to this

[00:50:57] purchase, driven out by

[00:50:59] force and withdrew to

[00:51:00] Damagan.

[00:51:01] Previous to his

[00:51:02] departure, Hassan gave him

[00:51:04] a laconic letter or bill

[00:51:06] of exchange on the

[00:51:08] Ries Musafar, commander of

[00:51:10] the castle of Kurdah.

[00:51:12] In these words, and it

[00:51:13] said, quote,

[00:51:14] Ries Musafar pay Medi, the

[00:51:16] descendant of Ali, 3,000

[00:51:18] Dukats as the price of the

[00:51:20] castle of Alamut.

[00:51:21] Health to the prophet and

[00:51:22] his family, God the best

[00:51:23] ruler suffiseth us.

[00:51:26] Suffiseth, excuse me,

[00:51:28] suffiseth us.

[00:51:29] End quote.

[00:51:31] Medi could not believe that a

[00:51:32] man like the Ries

[00:51:33] Musafar, who enjoyed the

[00:51:35] highest consideration as a

[00:51:36] lieutenant of the Seljuks,

[00:51:37] would pay the slightest

[00:51:39] respect to the bill of an

[00:51:41] adventurer like Hassan.

[00:51:42] He made, therefore, no use

[00:51:44] of it until his curiosity

[00:51:45] was spurred by necessity

[00:51:46] when, on presenting it to

[00:51:48] the Ries, to his great

[00:51:50] astonishment, the 3,000

[00:51:51] Dukats were immediately

[00:51:52] paid.

[00:51:53] The Ries, in fact, was one

[00:51:56] of the earliest and most

[00:51:57] faithful followers of

[00:51:59] Hassan Sabah.

[00:52:00] The second and most active

[00:52:01] was Hussein of Kayani.

[00:52:04] They taught and acted for

[00:52:05] him as missionaries, the

[00:52:07] former in Jabal, the latter

[00:52:09] in Kuhistan.

[00:52:10] Both names meaning highlands

[00:52:13] and being the northern

[00:52:14] mountainous provinces of

[00:52:16] Persia.

[00:52:17] Hassan provided his

[00:52:19] metropolis with ramparts and

[00:52:21] wells.

[00:52:21] He caused a canal to be

[00:52:23] dug, bringing the water

[00:52:24] from a considerable distance

[00:52:25] to the foot of the castle.

[00:52:27] He made plantations of

[00:52:28] fruit trees around the

[00:52:29] neighborhood and encouraged

[00:52:30] the inhabitants in the

[00:52:32] pursuit of agriculture.

[00:52:33] While he was thus employed

[00:52:34] in the fortification and

[00:52:36] defense of his castle, which

[00:52:38] commanded the whole district

[00:52:39] of Rudbar, promoting

[00:52:40] cultivation and raising

[00:52:42] supplies, his care and

[00:52:43] attention were still more

[00:52:44] deeply engaged with the

[00:52:46] establishment of his own

[00:52:48] religious and political

[00:52:49] system, namely the peculiar

[00:52:51] policy of the assassins.

[00:52:54] I'm going to pause for a

[00:52:55] moment here.

[00:52:57] This is where the rubber

[00:52:59] meets the road with a lot of

[00:53:02] this.

[00:53:03] So he, through skillful,

[00:53:06] deceptive practices and a

[00:53:10] little bit of strong-arming,

[00:53:11] took the fortress of Alamut and

[00:53:14] the whole countryside and he had

[00:53:16] the people, the villagers who

[00:53:17] lived there.

[00:53:18] Well, they liked him.

[00:53:21] He did a lot of things for the

[00:53:23] area and they were devout

[00:53:27] Ishmaelies.

[00:53:30] And so they didn't have a

[00:53:32] problem with this guy being

[00:53:33] their protector and the ruler

[00:53:36] of the land.

[00:53:38] And this is where things get

[00:53:39] interesting.

[00:53:41] A power was to be established in

[00:53:44] which laws were to be given and

[00:53:46] the want of treasure and troops,

[00:53:48] the great arms of sovereignty,

[00:53:50] was to be compensated in unusual

[00:53:52] ways.

[00:53:53] History showed in the sanguinary

[00:53:55] examples of Bayback and Karmath,

[00:53:58] who had led hundreds of

[00:54:00] thousands of people to slaughter

[00:54:01] and had fallen themselves the

[00:54:03] victims of their ambition, how

[00:54:04] dangerous it is for infidelity

[00:54:06] and sedition to dare an open

[00:54:08] contest with the constituted

[00:54:10] faith and government.

[00:54:12] Hassan's own experience taught

[00:54:14] him by the slender results which

[00:54:16] the Ishmaelite mission had

[00:54:18] exhibited in Asia, how useless it

[00:54:21] was to attempt to propagate the

[00:54:22] secret doctrine of the Lodge of

[00:54:24] Cairo, as long as its superiors

[00:54:27] had heads but not hands at their

[00:54:29] disposal.

[00:54:30] Going to pause for a moment here,

[00:54:32] folks.

[00:54:34] This secret doctrine that he learned

[00:54:36] at the House of Wisdom in Cairo,

[00:54:39] it was worthless if there were not

[00:54:45] hands to carry out the will of those

[00:54:49] who understood the doctrine.

[00:54:53] And this is wherein we find this

[00:55:00] double face of the assassins,

[00:55:03] the double face of the secret society

[00:55:07] groups, the externally represented

[00:55:09] group, the one that is accepted as

[00:55:12] the face of the group.

[00:55:13] And then what goes on behind the scenes,

[00:55:16] the secret doctrine.

[00:55:17] This is the exoteric and the esoteric.

[00:55:20] They present themselves to the public

[00:55:25] as a group of devout men doing

[00:55:28] righteous things.

[00:55:30] But behind the scenes at the top most

[00:55:32] levels, there are other things that go

[00:55:34] on.

[00:55:35] There are other goals, agendas at play.

[00:55:39] And within the structure itself and how

[00:55:42] it's organized are people to carry out

[00:55:46] the agendas of the group.

[00:55:49] Well, let's flesh this out a little

[00:55:51] further and tell you what the assassins

[00:55:54] did.

[00:55:54] And you could use the law of analogy to

[00:55:57] understand how it's carried out even

[00:55:59] unto today by some of these secret

[00:56:01] society groups.

[00:56:04] During the 200 years that the empire of

[00:56:07] the Fatimites had been established in

[00:56:08] Africa, the lodge first erected at Mahadia,

[00:56:12] then at Cairo, and the system of secret

[00:56:14] missions in favor of the Fatimites had

[00:56:17] been organized.

[00:56:18] They had indeed succeeded in giving the

[00:56:20] authority of the Abbasides a shock.

[00:56:22] But without being able to extend their own,

[00:56:25] they had assumed the two prerogatives

[00:56:27] of the mint and public prayers at Baghdad,

[00:56:30] but could keep possession of them for

[00:56:32] only a year, and lost it when Besasari

[00:56:36] succumbed to the arms of Togrul.

[00:56:39] Under pretense of enlisting partisans to

[00:56:42] the successors of Ishmael, they had preached

[00:56:45] atheism and immorality and thereby loosened

[00:56:48] the religious and moral bonds of civil

[00:56:51] society without troubling themselves about

[00:56:54] compensation.

[00:56:54] They had shaken thrones without being able

[00:56:58] to overturn or to seat themselves upon

[00:57:00] them.

[00:57:01] Nothing of this escaped Hassan's deep

[00:57:04] reflections, and as he had not been

[00:57:08] successful in the usual routine of

[00:57:10] ministerial ambition in playing a part in

[00:57:12] the empire of the Seljukides, he afterwards,

[00:57:16] as Annuncio and envoy, paved the way to

[00:57:19] his own power and planned a system of

[00:57:22] administration on his own.

[00:57:23] And this is the secret doctrine adopted by

[00:57:29] the assassins and which undergirds the

[00:57:32] secret doctrine of every other secret

[00:57:34] society today.

[00:57:36] Quote, nothing is true and all is allowed.

[00:57:41] End quote.

[00:57:43] Nothing is true and all is allowed was the

[00:57:46] groundwork of the secret doctrine, which,

[00:57:49] however, being imparted but too few and concealed

[00:57:53] under the veil of the most asture religionism and

[00:57:56] piety restrained the mind, the yoke of blind

[00:58:00] obedience by the already adopted reign of the

[00:58:03] positive commands of Islamism.

[00:58:05] The more strictly, the more temporal submission and

[00:58:08] devotion were sanctioned by eternal rewards and

[00:58:11] glory.

[00:58:12] Hitherto, the Ishmaelites had only masters and fellows,

[00:58:17] namely the Dei's or emissaries who, being initiated into all the

[00:58:22] grades of the secret doctrine, enlisted proselytes.

[00:58:25] And the Refic, who gradually entrusted with its principles,

[00:58:30] formed the great majority.

[00:58:32] Going to pause for a moment here, folks.

[00:58:34] Now, this is the structure of how the secret societies work.

[00:58:38] They have recruiters who aren't really recruiters, but they've been

[00:58:44] initiated into all the grades of the secret doctrine and they find

[00:58:48] prospective members, proselytes.

[00:58:53] Then they also have the Refic, this is what they called them, who were

[00:58:58] gradually entrusted with the principles and they formed the great

[00:59:01] majority.

[00:59:01] This would be equivalent to what we would call the Blue Lodge of

[00:59:06] Freemasonry today.

[00:59:07] They know the basic principles.

[00:59:11] They know the external doctrines.

[00:59:14] They know the facade that's represented here.

[00:59:21] And they're entrusted and they form the great majority, but they don't know

[00:59:26] all the secrets.

[00:59:28] They don't know the secret doctrine that underlies all of it.

[00:59:31] It was manifest to the practical and enterprising spirit of Hassan that, in

[00:59:37] order to execute great undertakings with security and energy, a third class would

[00:59:43] also be requisite.

[00:59:45] who never being admitted to the mystery of atheism and immorality, which snapped the bonds of all

[00:59:51] subordination, were but blind and fanatical tools in the hands of their superiors, that a well-organized

[00:59:58] political body needs not merely heads, but also arms, and that the master required not only intelligent

[01:00:04] and skillful fellows, but also faithful and active agents.

[01:00:09] These agents were called the fedevi, the self-offering or devoted is what it means.

[01:00:15] The name itself declares their destination, the fedevi.

[01:00:19] So this is the class that was used by Hassan and by the assassins to get things done.

[01:00:27] These were the pious religious individuals who they took advantage of.

[01:00:37] They enlisted these men and they convinced these men that only the grand master was the representation

[01:00:49] of God on earth and that he needed to follow, that these individuals needed to follow the directions

[01:00:55] and orders of that grand master to the letter.

[01:01:01] They must obey if they wanted to get to paradise, that he alone had the keys to paradise for them in the afterlife

[01:01:10] and that only if they died in his service would they get there.

[01:01:15] This is how perverse this whole thing was and still is.

[01:01:24] So they believe there is some eternal reward for them if they die in the service of the grand master here.

[01:01:32] If they died doing the will of Hassan Sabah, that they would have paradise.

[01:01:41] And these were the ones that were not given the secret doctrine.

[01:01:46] The secret doctrine of atheism and immorality.

[01:01:51] It's the mystery of atheism and immorality.

[01:01:56] It's what they needed to get the job done.

[01:01:58] They were told it doesn't matter.

[01:02:01] You do what you're commanded and that's all you need to do.

[01:02:05] And they followed because they were devoted, they were devout,

[01:02:10] and they were deceived by the grand master to believe that he himself and only he had the keys to paradise.

[01:02:20] And you can see how a lot of this plays into modern ideologies and modern ways of representing Islamic terrorism.

[01:02:31] Within the mainstream, this is where the ideal comes from.

[01:02:38] Of course we've heard versions of this, haven't we?

[01:02:43] The idealistic theory associated with that.

[01:02:47] But this is where Hassan Sabah perfected the system of control.

[01:02:52] You see, he required people to get things done.

[01:02:55] Not just people sitting behind the scenes thinking about getting things done.

[01:02:59] He needed actual hands and feet to go out there and do the dirty work without any compunction for what the results were.

[01:03:06] He needed devotees willing to lay down their life to accomplish the task.

[01:03:12] So he used this type of fervent extremism to get it done.

[01:03:21] Because he believed in the secret doctrine of atheism and immorality.

[01:03:26] That this worked.

[01:03:27] This had to be what you practiced behind the scenes under the facade of piety and righteousness.

[01:03:35] And that you used the pious and the righteous.

[01:03:39] The ones who think that they are doing the right thing, they devoutly believe this.

[01:03:48] That by following the orders of the leader, they are doing the will of God.

[01:03:54] By doing that, he was able to create this entire system where there's two levels of operation.

[01:04:01] The one behind the scenes of the secret doctrine.

[01:04:05] Nothing is true, all is permitted.

[01:04:08] And the exterior, the surface level.

[01:04:11] That we all see the external face of the organization.

[01:04:16] And he committed atrocities by doing this.

[01:04:23] The Fedavi.

[01:04:24] That was the name of this class that he introduced.

[01:04:27] How they afterwards in Syria obtained that of the Hashashin or assassins we shall explain hereafter.

[01:04:34] When we speak of the means employed to animate them to blind obedience and fanatical self-devotion.

[01:04:40] Being clothed in white like the followers of Mokana, the 300 years before in Transoxana.

[01:04:47] And still earlier, the Christian neophytes.

[01:04:50] And in our days, the pages of the Sultan.

[01:04:54] They were termed Mobaïs, the white.

[01:04:57] Or likewise, Mohammir, the red.

[01:05:00] Because they wore with their white costume, red turbans, boots, or girdles.

[01:05:04] As in our own day to the warriors of the Prince of Lebanon.

[01:05:08] And in Constantinople, the Janissaries and Postanguis.

[01:05:12] As bodyguard of the Seriglio.

[01:05:16] Habited in the hues of innocence and blood.

[01:05:19] And of pure devotion and murder.

[01:05:21] Armed with daggers which were constantly snatched forth.

[01:05:24] At the service of the Grand Master, they formed his guard.

[01:05:28] The executioners of his deadly orders.

[01:05:30] The sanguinary tools of the ambition and revenge of this order of assassins.

[01:05:37] The Grand Master was called Sidna, or Sidney, our lord.

[01:05:41] And commonly, Sheikh al-Jabbal, the Sheikh.

[01:05:45] The old man, or supreme master of the mountain.

[01:05:48] Because the order always possessed themselves of the castles in the mountainous regions.

[01:05:53] Both in Iraq, Kuhistan, and Syria.

[01:05:55] And the ancient of the mountains resided in the mountain fort of Alamut.

[01:06:01] Robed in white, like the ancient of days in Daniel.

[01:06:05] He was neither king nor prince in the usual sense of the word.

[01:06:08] And never assumed the title either of Sultan, Malik, or Emir.

[01:06:12] But merely that of Sheikh.

[01:06:15] Which is to this day the heads of the Arab tribes.

[01:06:18] And the superiors of the religious orders of the Sufis and dervishes that they bear.

[01:06:23] His authority could be no kingdom or principality, but that of a brotherhood or order.

[01:06:29] European historians therefore fall into a great mistake in confounding the empire of the assassins

[01:06:35] with hereditary dynasties as in the form of its institution.

[01:06:40] It was only an order like that of the Knights of St. John, the Teutonic Knights, or the Templars.

[01:06:47] The latter of these, besides the Grand Master and Grand Priors, and religious nuncios,

[01:06:53] had also some resemblance to the assassins in their spirit of political interference and secret doctrine.

[01:07:00] Dressed in white with the distinctive mark of the Red Cross on their mantles,

[01:07:05] as were the assassins with red girdles and caps, the Templars,

[01:07:09] had also secret tenets, which denied and abjured the sanctity of the cross,

[01:07:14] as the others did the commandments of Islamism.

[01:07:18] The foundational maxim of the policy of both

[01:07:22] was to obtain possession of the castles and strong places of the adjacent country,

[01:07:27] and thus, without pecuniary or military means,

[01:07:30] to maintain an imperium in imperio,

[01:07:33] to keep the nations in subjection as dangerous rivals to princes.

[01:07:38] Gonna pause for a moment here.

[01:07:40] So the Templars adopted many of the same ideologies as the Assassins.

[01:07:49] It was the same thing on the surface.

[01:07:51] The main group, the power base, the base,

[01:08:00] were all pious, religious, devoted individuals.

[01:08:05] But in the inner circles, they taught the secret doctrines

[01:08:10] of atheism and immorality.

[01:08:13] And this is who controls the order.

[01:08:17] Those that believe in that, and they convinced them

[01:08:19] that in performing some of these acts of immorality and atheism,

[01:08:32] that they were following the will of God or the right path.

[01:08:39] They convinced the people of this through various means,

[01:08:43] and perhaps in the second part to this,

[01:08:46] we'll take a look at some of the techniques used by Hassan Sabah himself

[01:08:53] and were later adopted into some of these other occult fraternities.

[01:08:58] To convince people

[01:09:01] that in order to get to heaven or attain paradise,

[01:09:07] they needed to die in the service of the order

[01:09:10] and not to deviate from their orders

[01:09:13] that they were given by their superiors or teachers.

[01:09:20] Let's continue here with the story of the assassins.

[01:09:26] The flat part of a country is always commanded by the more mountainous

[01:09:29] and the latter by the fortresses scattered through it.

[01:09:33] To become masters of these by stratagem or force,

[01:09:36] and to awe princes either by fraud or fear,

[01:09:39] and to arm the murderer's hand against the enemies of the order,

[01:09:42] was the political maxim of the assassins.

[01:09:46] Their internal safety was secured by the strict observance of religious ordinances,

[01:09:52] their external by fortresses and the poignard.

[01:09:56] From the proper subjects of the order, or the profane,

[01:10:01] was only expected the fulfillment of the duties of Islamism,

[01:10:05] even of the most asture,

[01:10:07] such as refraining from wine and music from the devoted satellites,

[01:10:10] was demanded blind subjection and the faithful use of their daggers.

[01:10:16] The emissaries, or initiated, worked with their heads

[01:10:19] and led the arms in execution of the orders of the sheik,

[01:10:23] who, in the center of his sovereignty,

[01:10:26] tranquilly directed, like an animating soul,

[01:10:28] their hearts and poignards to the accomplishment of his ambitious projects.

[01:10:33] So I'm going to pause for a moment to add a little bit of context to that.

[01:10:37] So externally, the ones sitting on the outskirts of the order,

[01:10:47] the subjects who were referred to as the profane,

[01:10:51] well, they weren't initiated into the secrets,

[01:10:53] they were just expected to follow the religious laws

[01:10:57] and be guided by the religious morals,

[01:11:03] even in a strict capacity.

[01:11:05] This was externally what was seen.

[01:11:10] They were seen as a pious group.

[01:11:13] They followed the laws.

[01:11:16] They obeyed the laws.

[01:11:18] But within those who are initiated,

[01:11:24] they partook of this secret doctrine.

[01:11:29] They didn't believe any of the religious laws or functions of the profane,

[01:11:38] as they called the outer band of it.

[01:11:41] So here's an important truth that's probably lost on a lot

[01:11:45] who belong to the secret societies today.

[01:11:47] If you are just a practicing Freemason or some such thing,

[01:11:51] you belong to the Blue Lodge,

[01:11:53] you've never gone above the third degree or the degree of Master Mason,

[01:11:57] you are considered by those in the higher levels of that organization,

[01:12:03] also as the profane.

[01:12:06] You're given the name of Mason only on the surface.

[01:12:09] See, you're supposed to be the public face of the organization.

[01:12:12] You're ignorant of the real doctrines of the organization.

[01:12:15] You think you know, but you don't.

[01:12:17] They purposely teach you wrong.

[01:12:19] They mislead you.

[01:12:22] This is what we're dealing with, folks.

[01:12:24] There are so many that are misled out there.

[01:12:27] There's so many that hold up

[01:12:29] some of these people that have been preying on them for a long time

[01:12:34] as somehow saintly or good or having good intentions.

[01:12:37] And maybe some of them do have good intentions.

[01:12:39] I don't know.

[01:12:40] I don't claim to have all the answers.

[01:12:41] But I do know that underlying all of this,

[01:12:44] there is this secret doctrine that we've discussed here.

[01:12:47] This doctrine of intelligent dissemination,

[01:12:51] as was being talked about.

[01:12:52] It's the separation.

[01:12:54] It's the double-faced nature of these secret society groups.

[01:12:58] They lie to their own lower-level members and initiates.

[01:13:02] They don't tell them what the secret doctrine truly is.

[01:13:06] They let them believe that they're doing good.

[01:13:10] They're doing right.

[01:13:11] They're doing all of these things for the betterment of mankind.

[01:13:15] They're doing this in the name of God.

[01:13:16] They're doing these things in the name of a higher power.

[01:13:22] And this is what many of them fervently believe.

[01:13:25] And at the topmost levels,

[01:13:29] within the order,

[01:13:31] it's all for some other secret agenda

[01:13:34] that fulfills this doctrine of atheism and immorality.

[01:13:40] It's how you get things done.

[01:13:44] It doesn't matter.

[01:13:46] There is no belief.

[01:13:47] Only action.

[01:13:49] Remember.

[01:13:51] This is what they believe.

[01:13:54] The leaders of the organization.

[01:13:58] So they sometimes have their own personal agendas

[01:14:02] involved in things.

[01:14:03] But anyway,

[01:14:07] let's continue on.

[01:14:11] Immediately under him,

[01:14:13] the Grand Master,

[01:14:15] stood the

[01:14:16] Al-Khabar,

[01:14:18] the Grand Recruiters,

[01:14:19] or Grand Priors,

[01:14:21] his lieutenants in the three provinces

[01:14:22] to which the power of the order extended,

[01:14:25] namely,

[01:14:26] Jabal,

[01:14:27] Kuhistan,

[01:14:28] and Syria.

[01:14:29] Beneath them were the Dei,

[01:14:31] or the religious nuncios,

[01:14:32] and political emissaries in ordinary

[01:14:36] as initiated masters.

[01:14:39] The fellows,

[01:14:40] the Rafiq,

[01:14:41] were those who were advancing to the mastership

[01:14:44] through the several grades of initiation

[01:14:45] into the secret doctrine.

[01:14:47] So I'm going to pause for a moment here.

[01:14:49] So we have the Grand Master.

[01:14:51] We have the Grand Priors,

[01:14:53] or Grand Recruiters.

[01:14:54] These all know the secret doctrine.

[01:14:56] There's the Dei.

[01:14:57] They're the political emissaries,

[01:14:59] or religious emissaries to political things.

[01:15:02] They also know the secret doctrine.

[01:15:05] And they are initiated masters.

[01:15:08] So we have these three levels

[01:15:12] that do know about the secret doctrine

[01:15:14] and act in the interests of the secret doctrine

[01:15:18] and whatever other agenda

[01:15:19] that the Grand Master has.

[01:15:21] And beneath them are the fellows

[01:15:22] who are advancing to the mastership

[01:15:25] through the several grades of initiation

[01:15:27] into the secret doctrine.

[01:15:29] So this is the broad power base.

[01:15:31] These would be still considered profane,

[01:15:33] but they listen to the teacher

[01:15:36] who uses various means

[01:15:38] to get them to believe

[01:15:40] that the teacher,

[01:15:42] and only the teacher,

[01:15:43] knows what's best,

[01:15:43] and they should follow

[01:15:44] the dictates of the teacher.

[01:15:48] The guards of the order,

[01:15:51] the warriors,

[01:15:52] were the devoted murderers,

[01:15:53] the fedavi,

[01:15:54] and the lassik,

[01:15:55] the aspirants,

[01:15:56] seemed to have been

[01:15:57] the novices or lay brethren.

[01:15:59] Besides this sevenfold gradation

[01:16:02] from sheik,

[01:16:03] or Grand Master,

[01:16:04] Grand Friar,

[01:16:05] Master,

[01:16:07] fellows,

[01:16:07] agents,

[01:16:08] and lay brothers,

[01:16:09] down to the profane

[01:16:10] or the people,

[01:16:11] there was also another

[01:16:13] sevenfold gradation

[01:16:14] of the spiritual hierarchy

[01:16:15] who applied themselves exclusively

[01:16:17] to the before-mentioned

[01:16:19] doctrine of the Ishmaelis

[01:16:20] concerning the seven speaking

[01:16:22] and seven mute imams,

[01:16:25] and belonged more properly

[01:16:26] to the theoretical framework

[01:16:28] of the schism

[01:16:29] than to the destruction

[01:16:30] of political powers.

[01:16:32] According to this arrangement,

[01:16:35] there live,

[01:16:35] in every generation,

[01:16:37] seven persons

[01:16:38] distinguished from each other

[01:16:40] by their different grades

[01:16:42] of rank.

[01:16:42] First,

[01:16:43] the divinely appointed imam.

[01:16:46] Second,

[01:16:47] the proof hoodshat,

[01:16:49] designated by him,

[01:16:51] with the Ishmaelis

[01:16:52] called

[01:16:53] Asas,

[01:16:55] which means

[01:16:56] the seat.

[01:16:56] Third,

[01:16:58] the sumasa,

[01:16:59] who received instruction

[01:17:00] from the hoodshat,

[01:17:01] as they did

[01:17:03] from the imam.

[01:17:04] Fourth,

[01:17:04] the missionaries,

[01:17:06] also called the dayai.

[01:17:07] Fifth,

[01:17:08] the musani,

[01:17:09] the freed,

[01:17:10] who were admitted

[01:17:10] to the solemn promise

[01:17:11] or oath.

[01:17:13] Sixth,

[01:17:14] the mukalebi,

[01:17:15] the dog-like,

[01:17:16] who sought out subjects

[01:17:17] fit for conversion

[01:17:18] for the missionaries

[01:17:19] as hounds run down

[01:17:21] the game

[01:17:21] for the huntsmen.

[01:17:22] And seventh,

[01:17:23] mumini,

[01:17:24] the believers,

[01:17:25] the people.

[01:17:25] On comparing

[01:17:27] these two divisions,

[01:17:28] we perceive that,

[01:17:29] according to the first,

[01:17:30] the invisible imam,

[01:17:32] in whose name

[01:17:33] the sheik claimed

[01:17:34] the obedience

[01:17:34] of the people,

[01:17:35] and in the second,

[01:17:36] the guard,

[01:17:37] of which he made use

[01:17:38] against the foes

[01:17:39] of the order,

[01:17:40] are wanting,

[01:17:41] but that in other respects

[01:17:43] the different grades

[01:17:44] coincide.

[01:17:45] The proof

[01:17:46] was the grandmaster,

[01:17:48] the sumasa,

[01:17:49] the grandprior,

[01:17:50] the fellows

[01:17:51] were the freed,

[01:17:53] and the dog-like

[01:17:54] the lay brethren,

[01:17:55] the fourth,

[01:17:56] and seventh.

[01:17:57] That is,

[01:17:58] the preachers of the faith

[01:17:59] and the believers.

[01:18:00] The cheating missionaries

[01:18:01] and the duped people

[01:18:03] are the same in both.

[01:18:05] So I'm going to pause

[01:18:06] for a moment here, folks.

[01:18:07] So they used people

[01:18:08] to preach.

[01:18:11] They infiltrated

[01:18:12] into the religious orders

[01:18:14] and the churches,

[01:18:16] and they preached

[01:18:17] certain things

[01:18:17] to the believers,

[01:18:18] and they had agents

[01:18:22] disseminating

[01:18:23] these beliefs

[01:18:24] and not practicing

[01:18:26] them within the churches,

[01:18:28] if you want to get

[01:18:29] technical here,

[01:18:29] and we see the same thing

[01:18:30] that goes on

[01:18:31] in society today,

[01:18:33] don't we?

[01:18:34] And those that believe,

[01:18:36] the followers,

[01:18:38] the ones that hang

[01:18:39] on every word,

[01:18:41] thinking

[01:18:42] that they're doing good

[01:18:44] and doing right.

[01:18:47] We have seen above

[01:18:48] that the first founder

[01:18:49] of secret societies

[01:18:51] in the heart of Islamism,

[01:18:53] Abdullah Mamun,

[01:18:54] the son of Qadda,

[01:18:55] established seven degrees

[01:18:57] of his doctrine,

[01:18:58] for which reason,

[01:18:59] as well as their opinions

[01:19:01] concerning the seven imams,

[01:19:04] his disciples obtained

[01:19:05] the by name

[01:19:06] of the Seveners.

[01:19:08] Gonna pause

[01:19:10] for a moment here,

[01:19:12] folks.

[01:19:13] The assassins

[01:19:14] were in order

[01:19:16] of the Seveners.

[01:19:19] This appellation,

[01:19:20] which had been assigned

[01:19:21] hitherto to the

[01:19:22] western Ishmaelites,

[01:19:23] although they had

[01:19:24] increased the number

[01:19:25] of grades from

[01:19:26] seven to nine,

[01:19:27] was the greater justice

[01:19:29] transferred to

[01:19:30] their new branch,

[01:19:31] the eastern Ishmaelites,

[01:19:33] or assassins,

[01:19:34] whose founder,

[01:19:35] Hassan,

[01:19:36] the son of Sabah,

[01:19:37] not only restored

[01:19:38] the grades

[01:19:39] to their original

[01:19:40] number, seven,

[01:19:41] but also sketched out

[01:19:43] for the Dei's,

[01:19:44] or missionaries,

[01:19:45] a particular rule

[01:19:46] of conduct

[01:19:47] consisting of

[01:19:48] seven points,

[01:19:49] which had reference

[01:19:50] not so much

[01:19:51] to the gradual

[01:19:52] enlightenment

[01:19:53] of those who

[01:19:54] were to be taught

[01:19:54] as to the necessary

[01:19:56] qualifications

[01:19:57] of the teachers

[01:19:58] and was the proper

[01:19:59] rubric of the order.

[01:20:01] And we're going to

[01:20:02] get into that

[01:20:03] right now because

[01:20:03] this is foundational

[01:20:07] to everything else

[01:20:09] that we see.

[01:20:13] The introductory rule

[01:20:15] was called

[01:20:16] the Ashinai Risk,

[01:20:18] or the Knowledge

[01:20:19] of the Calling,

[01:20:20] and comprised

[01:20:21] the maxims

[01:20:23] of the knowledge

[01:20:23] of mankind

[01:20:24] necessary to the

[01:20:25] selection of subjects

[01:20:27] suited to the initiated.

[01:20:30] Now remember,

[01:20:32] these seven points

[01:20:33] are even used

[01:20:35] today

[01:20:36] within these

[01:20:37] secret brotherhoods.

[01:20:40] Several proverbs

[01:20:42] several proverbs

[01:20:43] of much vogue

[01:20:45] among the Dei's

[01:20:46] had relation to this.

[01:20:49] They contained a sense

[01:20:51] different from their

[01:20:52] literal meaning,

[01:20:52] and it was

[01:20:54] so not

[01:20:55] in barren soil.

[01:20:58] Speak not

[01:20:59] in a house

[01:21:00] where there is

[01:21:00] a lamp,

[01:21:01] implied.

[01:21:02] Waste not

[01:21:03] your words

[01:21:04] on the incapable.

[01:21:07] Venture not

[01:21:08] to speak them

[01:21:09] in the presence

[01:21:10] of a lawyer,

[01:21:11] for it was

[01:21:12] equally dangerous

[01:21:12] to engage

[01:21:13] with blockheads

[01:21:14] as with men

[01:21:15] of tried knowledge

[01:21:16] and probity,

[01:21:17] because the former

[01:21:18] misunderstood

[01:21:19] and the latter

[01:21:20] unmask the doctrine,

[01:21:21] and neither

[01:21:22] would be available

[01:21:23] either as teachers

[01:21:25] or instruments.

[01:21:26] Going to pause

[01:21:27] for a moment,

[01:21:27] so what he's saying

[01:21:28] is don't speak

[01:21:30] to idiots

[01:21:31] who can't

[01:21:32] understand

[01:21:33] any of the nuance

[01:21:34] of what you're saying,

[01:21:35] but likewise,

[01:21:36] don't speak

[01:21:37] to perhaps

[01:21:38] highly educated

[01:21:39] people

[01:21:40] who will be able

[01:21:41] to see through

[01:21:42] your disingenuineness,

[01:21:45] to be able

[01:21:46] to see through

[01:21:47] what it is

[01:21:48] that this organization

[01:21:49] is about.

[01:21:51] Don't speak

[01:21:52] to them

[01:21:52] either.

[01:21:54] They won't

[01:21:54] be useful

[01:21:55] as instruments

[01:21:57] or teachers.

[01:21:59] These allegorical

[01:22:01] sentences

[01:22:02] and the prudential

[01:22:02] rules so necessary

[01:22:04] to avoid

[01:22:04] all chance

[01:22:05] of discovery

[01:22:06] remind us

[01:22:07] of a secret

[01:22:08] society

[01:22:08] of high antiquity

[01:22:10] and a celebrated

[01:22:11] order of modern

[01:22:12] times,

[01:22:13] in short,

[01:22:14] of Pythagoras

[01:22:15] and the Jesuits.

[01:22:17] I'm going to

[01:22:18] pause for a moment

[01:22:19] here, folks.

[01:22:19] The Jesuits.

[01:22:23] They operate

[01:22:24] under the same

[01:22:24] principles

[01:22:25] as the assassins,

[01:22:26] except they use

[01:22:27] Christianity

[01:22:28] as their veil

[01:22:30] that they hide

[01:22:30] behind

[01:22:31] as the facade.

[01:22:35] Same could be

[01:22:36] said of Freemasonry.

[01:22:37] They use

[01:22:37] Protestantism,

[01:22:39] whereas the Jesuits

[01:22:40] would use

[01:22:40] Catholicism.

[01:22:43] You see,

[01:22:45] and although

[01:22:46] the Freemasons

[01:22:47] will claim

[01:22:47] that they don't

[01:22:49] ascribe to a

[01:22:50] particular religion,

[01:22:53] certainly you see

[01:22:54] all the trappings

[01:22:55] in Freemasonry

[01:22:57] of Protestantism.

[01:23:00] It's just one

[01:23:01] branch

[01:23:01] of the occult

[01:23:03] Renaissance Church

[01:23:03] of Rome

[01:23:04] as the Jesuits

[01:23:08] are another.

[01:23:11] And, of course,

[01:23:12] they have their

[01:23:13] counterparts

[01:23:14] in all

[01:23:16] the various

[01:23:16] religions

[01:23:17] and cultures.

[01:23:20] The mysterious

[01:23:21] adages

[01:23:22] of the former,

[01:23:23] which have

[01:23:23] come down

[01:23:24] to us

[01:23:25] and whose

[01:23:25] peculiar sense

[01:23:26] is now

[01:23:26] unintelligible,

[01:23:28] were probably

[01:23:29] nothing more

[01:23:29] than similar

[01:23:30] maxims to the

[01:23:31] initiated

[01:23:31] in his

[01:23:32] doctrine,

[01:23:33] and the

[01:23:33] political

[01:23:34] prudence

[01:23:34] in the

[01:23:35] selection

[01:23:35] of subjects

[01:23:36] fit for the

[01:23:36] different

[01:23:37] designs

[01:23:37] of a

[01:23:37] society

[01:23:38] reached the

[01:23:39] highest

[01:23:39] perfection

[01:23:40] in that

[01:23:41] of

[01:23:41] Jesus.

[01:23:42] Thus,

[01:23:43] the Pythagoreans

[01:23:44] and the

[01:23:44] Jesuits

[01:23:45] have a

[01:23:45] resemblance

[01:23:46] to the

[01:23:46] assassins.

[01:23:47] The second

[01:23:48] rule of

[01:23:48] conduct

[01:23:49] was called

[01:23:50] tenus,

[01:23:51] or gaining

[01:23:52] confidence,

[01:23:53] and taught

[01:23:55] that to

[01:23:56] gain over

[01:23:57] candidates,

[01:23:58] they need

[01:23:59] to do so

[01:24:00] by flattering

[01:24:01] their

[01:24:01] inclinations

[01:24:02] and passions.

[01:24:05] Flattery,

[01:24:06] folks.

[01:24:07] To win

[01:24:08] over converts,

[01:24:09] you flatter

[01:24:10] them.

[01:24:10] First,

[01:24:10] you make

[01:24:11] sure that

[01:24:12] you're not

[01:24:12] throwing seed,

[01:24:13] that's going

[01:24:14] to the

[01:24:14] wayside,

[01:24:15] that it's

[01:24:16] fallow

[01:24:17] ground,

[01:24:18] that they're

[01:24:19] not overly

[01:24:19] intelligent and

[01:24:20] not overly

[01:24:21] dumb.

[01:24:22] Then you

[01:24:23] flatter them

[01:24:24] and give

[01:24:25] in to their

[01:24:25] inclinations

[01:24:26] and passions

[01:24:27] and feed

[01:24:27] that.

[01:24:28] As soon

[01:24:28] as they

[01:24:29] were one,

[01:24:29] it was

[01:24:30] requisite

[01:24:30] in the

[01:24:31] third place

[01:24:31] to involve

[01:24:32] them by

[01:24:33] a thousand

[01:24:33] doubts

[01:24:34] and questions

[01:24:34] concerning

[01:24:35] the

[01:24:35] positive

[01:24:36] religious

[01:24:36] commands

[01:24:37] and

[01:24:37] absurdities

[01:24:38] of the

[01:24:38] Quran,

[01:24:39] in a

[01:24:39] maze of

[01:24:40] scruples

[01:24:40] which were

[01:24:41] not to be

[01:24:41] resolved,

[01:24:42] and of

[01:24:43] uncertainty

[01:24:43] which was

[01:24:44] not to be

[01:24:44] disentangled,

[01:24:46] and I'll

[01:24:47] pause there

[01:24:48] for a moment

[01:24:49] just to say,

[01:24:50] well,

[01:24:50] you could

[01:24:51] substitute the

[01:24:52] Bible for

[01:24:53] the Quran

[01:24:53] in this

[01:24:54] instance,

[01:24:54] and certainly

[01:24:55] that's been

[01:24:56] done by the

[01:24:57] secret society

[01:24:57] groups.

[01:24:59] They will

[01:24:59] go ahead and

[01:25:00] sow doubts

[01:25:01] and questions

[01:25:04] with a maze

[01:25:05] of scruples

[01:25:06] and uncertainty

[01:25:07] which were

[01:25:08] not designed

[01:25:08] to ever have

[01:25:09] an appropriate

[01:25:10] answer

[01:25:10] to leave

[01:25:12] you confused

[01:25:13] to leave

[01:25:14] you doubting

[01:25:15] the moral

[01:25:18] truths

[01:25:19] that were

[01:25:20] inherent

[01:25:21] there.

[01:25:22] In the

[01:25:23] fourth place

[01:25:23] followed

[01:25:25] the oath

[01:25:26] by which

[01:25:27] the acolyte

[01:25:27] bound himself

[01:25:28] in the most

[01:25:29] solemn manner

[01:25:30] to inviolable

[01:25:31] silence and

[01:25:32] submission

[01:25:32] that he

[01:25:33] would impart

[01:25:33] his doubts

[01:25:34] to none

[01:25:34] but his

[01:25:35] superior

[01:25:35] that he

[01:25:36] would blindly

[01:25:37] obey him

[01:25:38] and none

[01:25:38] but him.

[01:25:42] In the

[01:25:42] fifth rule

[01:25:43] called

[01:25:44] Tedless

[01:25:44] the candidates

[01:25:46] were taught

[01:25:46] how their

[01:25:47] doctrine and

[01:25:48] opinions agreed

[01:25:49] with those

[01:25:49] of the

[01:25:50] greatest men

[01:25:50] in church

[01:25:51] and state.

[01:25:52] This was

[01:25:53] done the

[01:25:54] more to

[01:25:54] extract and

[01:25:55] fire them

[01:25:56] up by the

[01:25:57] examples of

[01:25:58] the great

[01:25:59] and powerful.

[01:26:00] I'm going to

[01:26:01] pause for a

[01:26:01] moment.

[01:26:03] So all

[01:26:04] of our

[01:26:05] wonderful

[01:26:06] leaders who

[01:26:07] are historically

[01:26:08] honored,

[01:26:09] well they all

[01:26:09] belong to

[01:26:10] our secret

[01:26:11] society group.

[01:26:12] They all

[01:26:12] held these

[01:26:13] fundamentals.

[01:26:15] They had the

[01:26:16] same beliefs

[01:26:16] as us.

[01:26:17] Do you see

[01:26:18] what was done

[01:26:19] here?

[01:26:19] This is a

[01:26:20] blueprint folks.

[01:26:21] This is a

[01:26:21] formula.

[01:26:22] This is how

[01:26:23] the secret

[01:26:23] societies operate.

[01:26:25] They use

[01:26:25] flattery.

[01:26:26] They make you

[01:26:27] think maybe

[01:26:27] you're special.

[01:26:29] They pick you

[01:26:29] out because

[01:26:30] they believe

[01:26:31] you to be

[01:26:31] gullible enough

[01:26:32] to follow

[01:26:33] what they

[01:26:33] tell you

[01:26:34] but not

[01:26:35] so gullible

[01:26:37] as to be

[01:26:38] unuseful

[01:26:39] to them.

[01:26:41] And then

[01:26:41] they use

[01:26:42] flattery to

[01:26:43] win you

[01:26:43] over.

[01:26:44] They sow

[01:26:45] doubts of

[01:26:45] confusion into

[01:26:46] your mind.

[01:26:50] They make

[01:26:51] you take

[01:26:51] secret oaths

[01:26:53] and vow

[01:26:54] allegiance to

[01:26:55] them under

[01:26:57] the penalty

[01:26:58] of death

[01:26:58] in many

[01:26:59] cases in

[01:27:00] heinous

[01:27:00] ways.

[01:27:01] enemies.

[01:27:01] And then

[01:27:02] they tell

[01:27:02] you about

[01:27:05] how their

[01:27:06] organization

[01:27:07] well they're

[01:27:08] at the

[01:27:09] center of

[01:27:09] all the

[01:27:10] power in

[01:27:10] the world.

[01:27:12] All of

[01:27:13] their great

[01:27:13] members are

[01:27:15] part of the

[01:27:16] power structure

[01:27:16] and have been

[01:27:17] historically honored

[01:27:18] and part of

[01:27:19] the power

[01:27:19] structure.

[01:27:20] And they make

[01:27:21] you believe

[01:27:21] they're working

[01:27:22] for the good

[01:27:23] behind the

[01:27:24] scenes secretly.

[01:27:25] Now let's

[01:27:28] get to the

[01:27:30] sixth notion

[01:27:31] here.

[01:27:32] The sixth

[01:27:32] also called

[01:27:33] thesis or

[01:27:35] confirmation

[01:27:35] merely recapitulated

[01:27:37] all that had

[01:27:38] preceded in

[01:27:39] order to

[01:27:39] confirm and

[01:27:40] strengthen the

[01:27:41] learner's

[01:27:41] faith.

[01:27:43] I'm going to

[01:27:44] pause for a

[01:27:44] moment.

[01:27:45] So now you're

[01:27:46] adopting a

[01:27:46] faith of a

[01:27:47] non-faith really

[01:27:49] when it comes

[01:27:50] down to it.

[01:27:51] faith in

[01:27:53] atheism.

[01:27:53] That couldn't

[01:27:54] be more

[01:27:54] contradictory,

[01:27:55] could it?

[01:27:56] Couldn't be

[01:27:56] any more of

[01:27:57] an oxymoron.

[01:27:58] But certainly

[01:27:59] this is the

[01:28:00] notion.

[01:28:02] So it's all

[01:28:03] a reification

[01:28:03] of the things

[01:28:04] they've already

[01:28:05] indoctrinated

[01:28:05] into you

[01:28:06] at that point.

[01:28:07] And then

[01:28:08] after this

[01:28:09] followed in

[01:28:10] the seventh

[01:28:10] place called

[01:28:11] T-Ville,

[01:28:13] the allegorical

[01:28:14] instruction,

[01:28:16] which was

[01:28:17] the conclusion

[01:28:18] of the course

[01:28:19] of atheistical

[01:28:20] instruction.

[01:28:22] In T-Ville,

[01:28:23] the allegorical

[01:28:25] explanation in

[01:28:26] opposition to

[01:28:27] tensile or

[01:28:28] the literal

[01:28:28] sense of the

[01:28:29] divine word

[01:28:30] was the

[01:28:31] principal essence

[01:28:32] of the secret

[01:28:33] doctrine from

[01:28:35] which they were

[01:28:36] named Batini,

[01:28:38] the esoterics,

[01:28:39] to distinguish

[01:28:39] them from the

[01:28:40] Jahari or

[01:28:41] followers of

[01:28:42] the outward

[01:28:42] worship by

[01:28:44] means of

[01:28:44] this crafty

[01:28:45] system of

[01:28:46] exposition and

[01:28:46] interpretation,

[01:28:47] which in our

[01:28:48] own days has

[01:28:49] often been

[01:28:50] applied to

[01:28:51] the Bible.

[01:28:51] Articles of

[01:28:52] faith and

[01:28:53] duties become

[01:28:54] mere allegories,

[01:28:55] the external

[01:28:56] form merely

[01:28:57] contingent,

[01:28:58] the inner

[01:28:59] sense alone

[01:29:00] essential,

[01:29:00] the observance

[01:29:01] or non-observance

[01:29:03] of religious

[01:29:04] ordinances and

[01:29:04] moral laws

[01:29:05] equally indifferent.

[01:29:07] Consequently,

[01:29:08] all was doubtful

[01:29:09] and nothing

[01:29:10] prohibited.

[01:29:10] This was the

[01:29:12] acme of the

[01:29:13] philosophy of

[01:29:13] the assassins,

[01:29:14] which was not

[01:29:15] imparted by the

[01:29:16] founder to the

[01:29:17] majority,

[01:29:17] but reserved

[01:29:18] only for a

[01:29:19] few of the

[01:29:19] initiated and

[01:29:20] principled leaders

[01:29:21] while the

[01:29:22] people were

[01:29:22] held under

[01:29:23] the yoke of

[01:29:24] the strictest

[01:29:24] exercise of

[01:29:25] the precepts

[01:29:26] of Islamism.

[01:29:27] His greatest

[01:29:28] policy consisted

[01:29:29] in designing

[01:29:30] his doctrine

[01:29:31] of infidelity

[01:29:32] and immorality

[01:29:33] not for the

[01:29:35] ruled,

[01:29:35] but only for

[01:29:37] the rulers,

[01:29:38] in subjecting

[01:29:39] the tensely

[01:29:39] reigned and

[01:29:40] blind obedience

[01:29:41] of the former

[01:29:41] to the equally

[01:29:43] blind but

[01:29:43] unbridled

[01:29:44] despotic commands

[01:29:45] of the second,

[01:29:46] and thus he

[01:29:47] made both

[01:29:48] serve the

[01:29:48] aim of his

[01:29:49] ambition,

[01:29:50] the former

[01:29:50] by the

[01:29:51] renunciation,

[01:29:51] the latter

[01:29:52] by the full

[01:29:53] gratification

[01:29:54] of their

[01:29:54] passions.

[01:29:56] Study and

[01:29:56] the sciences

[01:29:57] were therefore

[01:29:58] the lot of

[01:29:59] only a few

[01:30:00] who were

[01:30:00] initiated.

[01:30:01] For the

[01:30:02] immediate

[01:30:02] attainment

[01:30:03] of their

[01:30:04] objects,

[01:30:04] the order

[01:30:05] was less

[01:30:05] in need

[01:30:06] of heads

[01:30:06] than arms,

[01:30:08] and did

[01:30:08] not employ

[01:30:09] pens but

[01:30:10] daggers,

[01:30:10] whose points

[01:30:11] were everywhere

[01:30:12] while their

[01:30:13] hilts were

[01:30:13] in the hands

[01:30:14] of the

[01:30:14] Grand

[01:30:15] Master.

[01:30:17] And I

[01:30:17] think we're

[01:30:18] going to

[01:30:18] stop right

[01:30:19] there for

[01:30:19] tonight,

[01:30:20] folks,

[01:30:20] and we'll

[01:30:22] continue this

[01:30:23] in a part

[01:30:24] two.

[01:30:26] But the

[01:30:26] important

[01:30:27] takeaway

[01:30:27] here,

[01:30:28] the secret

[01:30:29] doctrine

[01:30:32] of the

[01:30:33] assassins is

[01:30:33] the same

[01:30:34] secret doctrine

[01:30:35] that underlies

[01:30:36] all the

[01:30:37] secret society

[01:30:37] groups.

[01:30:38] You see,

[01:30:38] they use

[01:30:38] a facade

[01:30:40] of being

[01:30:41] some type

[01:30:42] of a benevolent

[01:30:43] organization

[01:30:43] to fool

[01:30:44] people

[01:30:45] into believing

[01:30:46] that's what

[01:30:47] they do,

[01:30:47] but behind

[01:30:48] the scenes

[01:30:48] there are

[01:30:49] some very

[01:30:49] callous

[01:30:50] people with

[01:30:50] real agendas

[01:30:51] that they

[01:30:52] want to see

[01:30:53] come to

[01:30:54] fruition,

[01:30:55] and they

[01:30:56] don't believe

[01:30:57] the same

[01:30:58] things you

[01:30:59] and I

[01:30:59] believe.

[01:31:02] You see,

[01:31:07] it's the

[01:31:08] allegorical

[01:31:09] explanation

[01:31:10] that's given

[01:31:10] to the highest

[01:31:11] most levels,

[01:31:12] and this

[01:31:13] has been so

[01:31:14] abused in

[01:31:15] some of the

[01:31:15] secret society

[01:31:16] groups,

[01:31:19] none of

[01:31:20] that's

[01:31:20] true,

[01:31:21] it's all

[01:31:22] just based

[01:31:23] in allegory,

[01:31:24] and when

[01:31:24] you understand

[01:31:25] that,

[01:31:25] that the

[01:31:26] esoteric

[01:31:27] doctrines are

[01:31:27] the only

[01:31:28] true doctrines,

[01:31:29] then you

[01:31:30] know some

[01:31:31] things when

[01:31:32] really you

[01:31:32] don't.

[01:31:33] All you're

[01:31:34] left with

[01:31:34] is no

[01:31:35] moral compass,

[01:31:36] no compunction

[01:31:37] with doing

[01:31:38] wrong to

[01:31:39] another,

[01:31:40] no compunction

[01:31:41] for obeying

[01:31:42] natural laws

[01:31:43] that were put

[01:31:44] in place in

[01:31:45] this world

[01:31:46] by the

[01:31:46] creator,

[01:31:49] and the

[01:31:49] ends always

[01:31:50] justify the

[01:31:52] means.

[01:31:53] There is no

[01:31:54] higher power

[01:31:55] to answer

[01:31:56] to,

[01:31:57] there is no

[01:31:58] belief,

[01:31:59] only action.

[01:32:01] Nothing is

[01:32:02] true,

[01:32:02] all is

[01:32:03] permitted,

[01:32:03] that is the

[01:32:04] secret doctrine

[01:32:05] in a nutshell,

[01:32:06] but only for

[01:32:08] the ruling

[01:32:09] class.

[01:32:10] And now you

[01:32:11] understand a

[01:32:12] little something

[01:32:13] about this world,

[01:32:14] folks.

[01:32:14] But we

[01:32:16] will continue

[01:32:16] this next

[01:32:17] time when

[01:32:17] we get

[01:32:18] into some

[01:32:18] of the

[01:32:19] more specific

[01:32:21] actions of

[01:32:22] Hassan Sabah

[01:32:23] to indoctrinate

[01:32:25] obedience into

[01:32:27] his fedevi,

[01:32:29] the assassins,

[01:32:30] the ones that

[01:32:31] were known

[01:32:32] to go out

[01:32:32] there and

[01:32:35] perform the

[01:32:36] will of the

[01:32:37] Grand Master.

[01:32:39] Anyway,

[01:32:39] that's all the

[01:32:40] time we have

[01:32:41] for tonight.

[01:32:41] I want to

[01:32:42] thank you all

[01:32:42] for tuning in.

[01:32:43] I want to

[01:32:44] remind you

[01:32:44] I appreciate

[01:32:45] each and

[01:32:45] every one

[01:32:46] of you

[01:32:46] and we'll

[01:32:46] catch you

[01:32:47] next time.

[01:32:48] one now.
