on their official correspondence. They were associated with the First National Bank of Chicago.
Drick was the President, and on the Board of Directors of other companies, including Stepan
Chemical, MCA, Oak Industries, and Central Illinois Public Service. Freeman, an Illinois lawyer,
was Chairman of the Board of First National, and on the Boards of other companies, including
First Chicago Corporation, Atlantic-Richfield, Bankers Life and Casualty Co., Baxter Travenol
Labs, and Northwest Industries. He also chaired a Committee on Inflation for the American
Bankers Association. He was a member of the MacArthur Foundation and a trustee of the Aspen
Institute of Humanistic Studies. Robert Abboud had also been Chairman of the Board of First
National, and later became President of Occidental Petroleum Corp. It was originally believed
that the signatures were forged from a 1974 Annual Report, but it was later discovered they were
produced with rubber stamps. Though Freeman denied membership in the Prieuré de Sion, or of
having any knowledge of their activities, Plantard has corroborated the information and said that
their association with Freeman and other financiers had more to do with their goal of European
unity, which had become their primary concern.
Plantard resigned as Grand Master, and member of the Order in July, 1984, “for reasons of
health,” plus other personal reasons, foremost being that he didn’t agree with “certain
maneuvers” by “our English and American brethren.”
During the 19th century, the Prieuré de Sion, working through Freemasonry and the Hiéron
du Val d´Or, attempted to establish a revival of the Holy Roman Empire, which was to be a
theocratic United States of Europe, ruled simultaneously by the Hapsburgs and by a radically
reformed Church. Their goals were thwarted by World War I and the fall of Europe’s reigning
dynasties. However, they continued to work for a United Europe as a protection against the
Soviets, and as a neutral power to serve as a balance between Russia and the United States.
Out of the Merovingian bloodline had come most of the ruling families of Europe, and some
Roman Catholic Popes. The genealogy of Dagobert’s son, Sigisbert IV, can be traced through a
dozen families, including the Houses of Luxembourg, Montpezat, Montesquiou, Sinclair, Stuart,
Devonshire, Plantard, and ending with the Hapsburgs. Even though the Hapsburg empire no
longer exists, when the first parliament of the European Economic Community met in 1979, one
of its primary delegates was Dr. Otto von Hapsburg, the oldest son of Charles I, the last
Hapsburg emperor. He and son Karl have been among the leading proponents of a United
Europe. Karl von Hapsburg is the heir apparent to the Hapsburg legacy.
In 1909, Hitler found out about the legend behind the Holy Lance of Longinus (the Spear of
Destiny, said to be the one used to pierce the side of Jesus during the crucifixion). It was said,
that whoever possessed the Spear, would rule the world. It was in the possession of 45
Merovingian rulers from 752-1806, and when Hitler saw it, it was on display at the Hapsburg
Treasure House Museum in Vienna. His obsession for the Spear ended, when he began his
European military campaign against Austria for the purpose of getting this holy relic, which he
did on October 13, 1938. He placed it in the Hall of St. Katherine’s Church in Nuremberg. When
the War got closer to Germany, the Spear and other treasures were secured in a protective vault.
On March 30, 1945, when the American invasion was expected, the treasures were moved again,
however, the holy spear was accidentally left behind, where it was found by the Americans.
Upon the order of Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, it was
returned to the Hapsburgs.
It is believed that the Prieuré de Sion has “incontrovertible proof” concerning Jesus and His
continuing bloodline, and has been working to again bring this bloodline to power.
With this type of research, which purports to give you ‘evidence’ of their claims, it can be
