synarchy movement of empire book ii - Pierre Beaudry's Galactic ...

The two most important and immediate students of Saint-Yves
d'Alveydre were the Martinists, Victor Blanchard and Gerard d'Encausse.
Around the event of the Spiritualist Congress of June 1908, Victor
Blanchard, under the initiatic name of Paul Yesir, and Gerard d'Encausse,
under the name of Papus, organized a major split within the traditional
Martinist Order and created the modern form of the Synarchy movement in
France. On January 3, 1921, Victor Blanchard split with the head of
{Martinism}, Jean Bricaud (of the Lyon Elect Cohens of Pasqually, Saint
Martin and Willermoz), and recruited members of the Supreme Council of
Martinism to created his own {Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique}.
Being a freemason, Victor Blanchard also had controlling positions in
the {Grand Orient of France}, the {Grand College of Rites}, the {Eglise
Gnostique Universelle}, the {Ordre Kabbalistique de la Rose-Croix}, the
{Order of the Lily and the Eagle}, the {Polaire Brotherhood}, and
commander of the {Pythagorean Order}. After 1933, Blanchard became
appointed "Imperator" of the Martinist Orders of the nations of Asia, while
the Imperator for Europe was Sar Hieronymous, and Sar Alden was the
Imperator for the United States.
After the split with the Lyon Martinist Order, the grand councils of
Italy, Spain, and Great Britain also severed their relationships with Lyon. In
a short biography on Blanchard, Martinist brother, Elias Ibrahim, reported
that "Blanchard linked himself with Saint-Yves d'Alveydre: and he,
therefore, added to the title of his order the epitaph "Synarchy". No doubt,
that by working at the secretariat of the Members of Parliament, he aspired
to influence the course of political events by his occult activities, and by
disseminating the ideals of synarchy." In point of fact, by 1908, Blanchard,
who was secretary to the President of the Council, was in a position of
control within the French Government.
In 1908, Victor Blanchard headed the Masonic and Spiritualist
Congress, to which he gave the keynote address, and in which he invited all
of the French Masonic Rites to join his synarchy in order to reinforce "the
army of knights of Christian idealism." In his address, Blanchard noted the
universal and ecumenical task that the Synarchy was contemplating. He said:
"Let us not forget that this philosophy (Synarchy), at once human and divine
powerfully inspired all of the founders of the ancient religions, among them
Ram of Lam, Confucius, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, and Buddha. It is from
it that the celebrated legislators of passed ages drew their wisest institutions.
