Sion), and the complete Talmud, which became available at the timeof Luther's challenge, clearly promoted the destruction andsubjugation of the Gentiles by the Jewish people. 13 (It isdifficult now to find complete the complete Talmud. Even thepartial translations paraded as complete translations are notnumerous. )The top leaders of Catholic Church reacted to the first threatby trying to destoy blood lines and by keeping the subject quiet. 14Concerning the Talmud, the Catholic Church tried to burn it out ofexistence. The Talmud was burned in 1244 in Paris and subsequentlyin other cities.THE BLOODLINE & THE CRUSADESAs is often the case, motivations can be complex. The Crusadeswere the Catholic Church's response to the horrible conquests bythe Moslems. As has often been the case, the Catholic Church hasoften been her own worst enemy. According to one ex-Priest theCatholic Church had helped finance Mohammed. 15 Mohammed gained muchof his religious knowledge from Nestorian Christianity whichpervaded that area of the world. If all that isn't enough toconfuse the issue, it appears that the Catholic Pope was promptedto start the Crusades by the secret blood line consideringthemselves to be the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ.Using Catholic power they hoped to gain Palestine which theyconsidered historically theirs. 16THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARSThe Knights Templars became a visible military monk order ofthis bloodline, which anticipated that when the timing was right,a new Kingdom of David would be proclaimed. The Knights Templarsincreased in power until they were one of the dominant powers inEurope, but the intervention by the King of France, with the Pope'scooperation upset their time table. The Knights Templars werearrested in France. In order to survive in Spain and Scotland, theytook on a low profile. In Germany, they evolved into the TeutonicKnights.In Spain and Portugal, they became the Order that sent out theJewish 17 captain known as Christoper Columbus. Columbus sailedwith the Templar's Order's Red Cross logos on his sails. Wellknownpictures of his ships display this. The Rosy Cross- the RedCross will reappear in other scenarios connected with secretsocieties. Undercurrents of the occult seem to never cease.Lorenzo de' Medici, who was a distinguished Platonist and a patronof secret societies, and a member of the black nobility, is said bysome to have helped Columbus with the connections to sail. 18Columbus is said by several historians to have been from Greece. 19Even if Columbus was of Jewish heritage and from Greece, therecords show he was firmly committed to a strong display ofCatholicism. Even more plausible than his Jewishness is the strongconnection that seems certain between Columbus and secretsocieties. (Even his signature is a cipher.)THE ORDER OF JESUITS
