and of the French Revolution– the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately all
Christianity.”), where he became committed to the cause of Italian unity. In 1831, he was exiled
to France, where he founded the ‘Young Societies’ movement, which included Giovane Italia
(Young Italy), Young England, etc. This group united those who wanted to achieve unification
through force. Mazzini moved to England in 1837, then returned to Italy in 1848 to lead the
revolution against the Austrians. Again he was exiled. In the 1850’s, he led more revolutionary
activities, and through his actions, Italy became united in 1861, as a single kingdom, rather than
the republic envisioned by Mazzini.
Mazzini, who became known as the ‘Evil Genius of Italy,’ tried to carry on the activities of
the Illuminati through the Alta Vendita Lodge, the highest lodge of the Carbonari.
From 1814-48, the group known as the Haute Vente Romaine led the activities of most of
Europe’s secret societies. In April, 1836, the head of the Haute Vente, whose pseudonym was
‘Nubius,’ wrote to ‘Beppo’: “Mazzini behaves too much like a conspirator of melodrama to suit
the obscure role we resign ourselves to play until our triumph. Mazzini likes to talk about a great
many things, about himself above all. He never ceases writing that he is overthrowing thrones
and altars, that he fertilizes the peoples, that he is the prophet of humanitarianism...”
In 1860, Mazzini had formed an organization called the ‘Oblonica,’ a name derived from the
Latin ‘obelus,’ which means: “I beckon with a spit (dagger).” Within this group, he established
an inner circle called the Mafia.
About 1,000 AD, after the Normans had driven the Arabs out of Sicily, they established a
feudal system. Overseers to guard each feudi were chosen from known criminals. Skirmishes
between the Barons were fought by these criminals. Although feudal privileges were abolished in
1812, these overseers retained control of the land through leasing arrangements. It was this band
of criminals that Mazzini gave the name ‘Mafia’, which was an acronym for Mazzini, Autorizza,
Furti, Incendi, and Avvelengmenti. Known as the Mafiosi, they were authorized by Mazzini to
commit thefts, arson and murder. It was this organization that came to America during the
1890’s with the beginning of Italian immigration.
In 1859, Albert Pike (1809-1891), a lawyer, and leader of the U.S. Scottish Rite Masonry
(who was called the ‘Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry,’ the ‘Prophet of Freemasonry’
and the ‘greatest Freemason of the nineteenth century’), who was fascinated with the idea of a
one-world government, was chosen to coordinate Illuminati activities in the United States. He
said they needed to create a political party that would keep the world fighting, until they could
bring peace. Pike said it would be done “with tongue and pen, with all our open and secret
influences, with the purse, and if need be, with the sword...”
Pike was born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, went to Harvard, then later served as a
Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. He was appointed by the Confederacy to be the
Indian Commissioner in order to create an army of Indian warriors. He became Governor of the
Indian territory, and succeeded in creating an army consisting of Chickasaws, Comanches,
Creeks, Cherokees, Miamis, Osages, Kansas, and Choctaws. He became known to them as the
“faithful pale-face friend and protector.” The savagery of their attacks caused Jefferson Davis,
the President of the Confederacy, to disband the Indian army. After the Civil War, Pike was
found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be pardoned by President Andrew Johnson on April
22, 1866, who met with him the next day at the White House. On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite
officials conferred upon Johnson, the 4th - 32nd degrees, and he later went to Boston to dedicate
a Masonic Temple. The only monument to a Confederate general in Washington, D.C. was
erected in Pike’s honor, and can be found between the Department of Labor building and the
