Muslim or Jewish religions, and reach "<strong>the</strong> one and only true,<br />
pure and overall religion." 179 From 1792 until his death in 1820,<br />
Hirschfield settled in Offenbach, seat of <strong>the</strong> Frankists, where<br />
he devoted much time <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir activities.<br />
A close acquaintance of Hirschfield was Franz Joseph<br />
Moli<strong>to</strong>r who was his<strong>to</strong>rian for <strong>the</strong> Vienna Lodge. 180 In 1812,<br />
Moli<strong>to</strong>r (1779-1860), who was a Christian with Frankist<br />
leanings, became head of <strong>the</strong> Jewish Freemasonry lodge in<br />
Frankfurt, which had llluminastic tendencies. He invited<br />
Hirschfield <strong>to</strong> introduce Asiatic rites, 181 but this was rejected by<br />
<strong>the</strong> lodge, especially since that lodge had been chartered prior<br />
<strong>to</strong> Napoleon's defeat by <strong>the</strong> llluminati's Grand Orient Lodge of<br />
Paris, and made it suspect. 182<br />
Moli<strong>to</strong>r revered Frankist Jonathan Eibeschutz, and stated<br />
that Moses Schonfeld was Eibeschutz's 183 grandson. We know<br />
that this is not true, taking family pedigree at face value,<br />
although <strong>the</strong> possibility of his being <strong>the</strong> illegitimate grandson is<br />
within reason when it is known that Wolf Eibeschutz visited <strong>the</strong><br />
Dobrushka homestead in Brno, 184 and that adultery was<br />
frequently practiced by <strong>the</strong>m, even "respectable" rabbis who<br />
were Cryp<strong>to</strong>-Sabbatians. 185 What comes through discounting<br />
this possibility is Eibeschutz's influence in this circle, which<br />
caused <strong>the</strong> Lodge <strong>to</strong> feel proudly associated with him,<br />
especially Eibeschutz's nihilistic antinomian work V'Avo<br />
Hayom El Ha'ayin (I Shall Approach <strong>the</strong> Eye Today) which in<br />
its title alludes <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> "eye" of llllumination. 186 Eibeschutz's<br />
sinister allusions in this book found representation in<br />
Weishaupt's llluminati, not only in <strong>the</strong> All-Seeing Eye, but in<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r symbolisms such as <strong>the</strong> point in a circle, denoting <strong>the</strong><br />
fecundity principle and sexual anarchy, 187 which is still in use<br />
by <strong>to</strong>day's continuation of <strong>the</strong> Frankists, <strong>the</strong> Pla<strong>to</strong>nic-<br />
Communist Cult of <strong>the</strong> All-Seeing Eye. 188<br />
In <strong>the</strong> wake of llluministic German-Jewish freemasonry<br />
Lodges, we find that <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds very adroitly steered <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
way in<strong>to</strong> a position of control over <strong>the</strong>se lodges in much <strong>the</strong><br />
