Why Globalism Matters - ROBERT SEPEHR

For many years, the world has hummed a sweet, optimistic tune, about the benefits of globalization, with the mainstream media constantly touting the advantages of an increasingly inter-connected world, with little appreciation for its uneven benefits.

1666 Revisited - ROBERT SEPEHR


Very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666, proclaiming that redemption was available through acts of sin. He amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies. 

A century after Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. 

 

Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers.

Rasputin and the Religion of Sin - ROBERT SEPEHR

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man who befriended the family of Tsar Nicholas II, the last monarch of Russia, and gained considerable influence in late imperial Russia. His ritual practices mirrored in many ways the teachings of Sabbatai Zevi, a Self Proclaimed Messiah in 1666, who also pursued higher spiritual abilities and spiritual Redemption Through Sin.

Jeffrey Epstein an Occult Perspective - ROBERT SEPEHR

Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted s*x offender, including running an underage prostitution ring for well-connected financial, political, and cultural elites. Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666.



"Sabbateans encouraged and practiced se*ual promiscuity, adultery, ince*t and religious orgi*s... while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane."

Former KGB officer warns US about Cultural Marxism - ROBERT SEPEHR

Yuri Bezmenov was a Soviet journalist and a former KGB informant who defected to the West. After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to resent the KGB-sanctioned oppression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow's Marxist policies. He is best remembered for his anti-Communist lectures and books from the 1980s, which when looking back at this interview, has played out just as he described right before our eyes.

Hollywood Magick and Social Engineering - ROBERT SEPEHR

Hollywood is a kind of city-state of its own, with its own religion. A druid was a priest, magician, or soothsayer in the ancient Celtic religion that uses a wand made of wood from the Holly tree, or Holly wood. The earliest known records of the Druids come from the 3rd century BC. Relatively early German histories also assume that Druids were to be found among them. The Druids of antiquity are steeped in legend and folklore, having no known written record of where they originally came from.


Propaganda is biased information, especially of a misleading nature, that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

Occult Forces - Mysteries of Freemasonry Unveiled


Forces Occultes (Occult Forces - subtitled The mysteries of Freemasonry unveiled for the first time on the screen) is a French film of 1943, notable as the last film to be directed by ex-Freemason Paul Riche (the pseudonym of Jean Mamy). The film recounts the life of a young member of parliament who joins the Freemasons in order to relaunch his career. He thus learns of how the Freemasons are conspiring to encourage France into a war against Germany.

Tequila, Cocaine, and Ancient Mummies

Tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs were smoked all over the Americas as early as 5000 BC, in shamanistic rituals. Traces of cocaine and tobacco, plants only to have existed in the Americas prior to Columbus, were found in some Egyptian mummies.

Vladimir Putin Bans Rothschilds From Russia, Prepares For War

Source: YourNewsWire
 
Vladimir Putin has banned Jacob Rothschild and his New World Order banking cartel family from entering Russian territory “under any circumstances." He recently reminded his cabinet that he paid off the Rothschild’s debt and “grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and kicked them out Russia’s back door.”


This meeting featured the Russian President pounding his fist on the table and vowing to destroy the New World Order, and according to a Kremlin source Putin is making great strides towards this goal. “They do not own the world, and they do not have carte blanch to do whatever they want. If we do not challenge them there will be other issues. We will not be bullied by them.”
 
It is understood that the Rothschild banking racket was a noose tied around the neck of the Russian economy. Once the knot was tightened, the economy would struggle and choke. Early in his presidency, Vladimir Putin made a priority of uniting Russia socially, culturally, spiritually, and economically.
 
He ordered the arrest of the Rothschild backed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky who had made Rothschild, Henry Kissinger and Arthur Hartman directors of the Open Russia foundation. Putin was so upset with the banksters in his temple, he tipped over their tables and drove them out with a whip.

 A keen student of history, well versed in world affairs, the Russian President has studied the history of the world’s most elusive organization and understands the central role their financial collaborators have played in fomenting the major international conflicts of the 20th century.
 
 
Now they want to plunge us into World War III. The New World Order’s invasive roots and branches keep spreading around the world, but President Putin has stopped them expanding into Russia. This is a major blow to their plans for total global domination and now they view him as a real threat. 
 
 
 
Putin has the corrupt globalist bankers running scared, which is why he is degraded in the Western controlled media at every opportunity. The reality is that Putin is leading us towards a multi-polar world, far from the one government, one religion future plotted by the New World Order. When he took his forces into Syria to protect a sovereign state he further enhanced his reputation as a powerful leader. People around the world have started to wake up and notice, and re-thinking the propaganda of the past 70 years.

1666 Redemption Through Sin - ROBERT SEPEHR





     Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.

     Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.

     After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality.

     He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".

Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. 
 
     Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

What You Were Never Told About The Great War


Benjamin H. Freedman was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. Starting in 1945, he spent the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the tyranny which had enveloped the United States. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times. The following shortened excerpt is from a speech given by Mr. Freedman before a packed audience at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. in 1961:

“World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. Within two years Germany had won that war: not alone won it nominally, but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean, and Great Britain stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, stood there with one week's food supply facing her, and after that, starvation. At that time, the French army had mutinied. They lost 600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme. The Russian army was defecting. They were picking up their toys and going home, they didn't want to play war anymore. And the Italian army had collapsed. Not a shot had been fired on the German soil. Not an enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany. And yet, here was Germany offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers call a status quo ante basis. That means: “Let's call the war off, and let everything be as it was before the war started.” England, in the summer of 1916 was considering that. Seriously! They had no choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going on with the war and being totally defeated.

"While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany went to the British War Cabinet and - I am going to be brief because this is a long story, but I have all the documents to prove any statement that I make if anyone here is curious, or doesn't believe what I'm saying is at all possible - the Zionists went to the British war cabinet and they said: “Look here. You can yet win this war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will come in as your ally.” The United States was not in the war at that time. We were fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful. They [Zionists] told England: “We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war.” In other words, they made this deal: “We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany.” Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain - that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine - should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into the war. However, they made that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly after that the United States, which was almost totally pro-German - totally pro-German - because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all the media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews, and they were pro-German because their people, in the majority of cases came from Germany, and they wanted to see Germany lick the Czar. At that time, everything changed, like the traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. And they were no good. Well, shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany.

"That's how the United States got into the war. We had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room. We went in there - we were railroaded into it - if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into - that war merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. Now, that is something that the people in the United States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War One. After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain and they said: “Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have something in writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and give us Palestine after you win the war.” The Balfour Declaration was Great Britain's promise to pay the Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United States into the war. The United States went in the war. The United States crushed Germany. We went in there, and it's history.

"Now, when the war was ended, and the Germans went to Paris, to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, there were 117 Jews there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I was there: I ought to know. Now what happened? The Jews at that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and parceling out Europe to all these nations that claimed a right to a certain part of European territory, the Jews said, “How about Palestine for us?” And they produced, for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, “Oh, that was the game! That's why the United States came into the war.” And the Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered this terrific reparation that was slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted Palestine and they were determined to get it at any cost.

"When the Germans realized this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never been better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany. The Jews were doing very well in Germany. No question about that. Now, the Germans felt: “Well, that was quite a sellout.” That's how the Germans felt towards these Jews.

"We've been so nice to them"; and from 1905 on, when the first Communist revolution in Russia failed, and the Jews had to scramble out of Russia, they all went to Germany. And Germany gave them refuge. And they were treated very nicely. And here they sold Germany down the river for no reason at all other than they wanted Palestine as a so-called “Jewish commonwealth.” The Jews themselves admitted that. It wasn't that the Germans in 1919 discovered that a glass of Jewish blood tasted better than Coca-Cola or Muenschner Beer. There was no religious feeling. There was no sentiment against those people merely on account of their religious belief. It was all political. Nobody cared in Germany whether a Jew went home and pulled down the shades and said “Shema' Yisrael” or “Our Father.” No one cared in Germany any more than they do in the United States. Now this feeling that developed later in Germany was due to one thing: that the Germans held the Jews responsible for their crushing defeat, for no reason at all, because World War One was started against Germany for no reason for which they [Germans] were responsible. They were guilty of nothing. When Germany realized that the Jews were responsible for her defeat, they naturally resented it. But not a hair on the head of any Jew was harmed. Not a single hair. Now, the Jews sort of tried to keep the lid on this fact. They didn't want the world to really understand that they had sold out Germany, and that the Germans resented that.”

The Mystical Number 13


“The significance of the mystical number 13, which frequently appears upon the Great Seal of the United States, is not limited to the number of the original colonies. The sacred emblem of the ancient initiates, here composed of 13 stars, also appears above the head of the “eagle.” The motto, E Pluribus Unum, contains 13 letters, as does also the inscription, Annuit Coeptis. The “eagle” clutches in its right talon a branch bearing 13 leaves and 13 berries and in its left a sheaf of 13 arrows. The face of the pyramid, exclusive of the panel containing the date, consists of 72 stones arranged in 13 rows.” - Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of all Ages.


The eagle bears on its chest a shield designed with 13 pales (stripes) of white and red. Above the eagle’s head, the 13 stars are arranged in what was described as a ‘constellation’ when the Great Seal was designed... take a closer look: 


If one delves deeper into American history, other 13s are likely to be found, to include the design of the US flag with 13 stripes of red and white. Add to that, the process involved with folding the flag includes 13 steps - each with its own special meaning.

The phrase “July the Fourth” contains 13 letters and the number 4 (1+3), the birth number of the U.S. (July 4, 1776), which may explain the real reason why the founding fathers chose this as the official birth date of the United States.

When you journey further back into Jewish tradition, the number 13 actually has a multiplicity of special meanings.

A few of them are:
  1. Thirteen signifies the age at which a boy matures and becomes a Bar Mitzvah, or ”Son of the Commandment,” which means the responsibility of the religious duties are now put on his shoulders.
  2. According to the Torah, God has thirteen attributes of mercy.
  3. There are also the famous thirteen principles of faith, compiled by medieval Jewish rabbi and philosopher Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides), outlining Judaism’s tenets.

In ancient times the number 13 became a number of fear and superstition because the 13th card of the Tarot is the card of Death, and is pictured as a skeleton (the symbol of death) with a scythe reaping down men in a field of newly grown grass where young faces and heads appear cropping up on all sides. This image later became known as “The Grim Reaper,” and it was ascribed to the planet Saturn. In medieval England the standard fee of the hangman was 13 pence - a shilling and a penny.

But 13 is not always portrayed as an unfortunate number, as is generally supposed.

It has become so firmly associated in the popular mind with the notion of “bad luck” that it is easy to forget the fact that in the ancient mystic religions 13 was the characteristic number of participants in many orders and occult groups, including sacred meals – a fact reflected in the size of the original Nazarene Last Supper.


There are 12 Knights of the Round Table as well as King Arthur himself (12 + 1 = 13). During the quest for the Holy Grail, a damsel offers Bors (Knight of King Arthur) her love, which he refuses. Because of this the damsel along with 12 other women (1 + 12 = 13) threaten to throw themselves from a tower.

Merlin was said to have been captured by Nimue disguised as a hare. The legend says he now guards the 13 Treasures of Britain and awaits rebirth. At Alderley Edge in Cheshire, Merlin is said to be underground with 13 Knights waiting for England’s hour of need.

The 13th Rune is Eiwaz. This rune is the balance point between light and dark.

There are said to be 13 Crystal Skulls.

In Norse mythology, an honorary banquet was held in Valhalla for Baldur with 12 Norse Gods. Loki arrives but is an uninvited guest. He is the 13th guest.

In Roman mythology you have Romulus and the 12 shepherds. (12 shepherds + 1 Romulus = 13).

In Norse mythology 13 is a symbol of the Goddess Freya and her day is Friday.
 
In French mythology we have Roland who is the leader of the 12 peers. (Roland 1 + 12 peers = 13).
 
In Danish mythology we have the story of King Hrolfr Kraki and the 12 berserkers. (Hrolfr 1 = 12 berserkers = 13).
 
In Greek mythology there is the tale of Odysseus and his 12 companions. (Odysseus 1 = 12 companions = 13).
 
There are 13 notches on the horn carried by the Venus of Laussel.
 
On Friday 13th October 1307, the Knights Templar were arrested by order of the King of France Philippe IV.  Jacques de Molay the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar was burned to death on Friday 13th March 1314. The Pope's bull of 1313 banned the Knights Templars.
