Sovereign Multi National Military Order of the Knights Templar Brief:
On this solemn day for Western Civilization - Friday the 13th :-(
Circa 700 years ago, King Philip 1V, the Faire & in agreement with *Pope Clement V, ordered a sneak betrayal attack, arrest and destruction of of the Catholic order of 600 French Knights Templar on fabricated fake news of, unfounded charges of political corruption & heresy's as a land grab and monetary gain
Knights Templar – a Catholic military order that played a key role as a super swat unit during the Crusades. Named after Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, where the order was based, the order was founded in 1119 protect pilgrims visiting the Holy Land.
With the loss of the Holy Land, the Templars’ military influence waned, although they still held great economic sway in medieval Europe and with the Multi National Knights of Saint John Hospitalers protected Mare Nostrum (Mediterranean Sea) against the expansion ding Turkish MuslimMiltary Corsair fleet In 1307 the French King Philip IV, in league with Pope Clement Vwho wanted to wipe out his debts to the order, launched a plot to bring the Knights Templar down. Many Templars were arrested on false charges including heresy and dozens were later burned at the stake.
The Knights have a most extraordinary history; outside of physically protecting the Holy Cross,The Knight's of St John Hospitalars established the humanitarian hospital & hospice system in the Holy Land and is still in existence . And they are credit with developing the International letter of credit concept to protect the world travelers. This International Banking System survives today featuring secrecy, neutrality & high security in Switzerland who fly the inherited White Knight's Cross on a field of Red Flag .
Circa 700 years ago, King Philip 1V, the Fare & in agreement with *Pope Clement V, conspired & ordered the cowardly attack, arrest and destruction of of the intrepid order of 600 French Knights Templar on fabricated fake news of, unfounded shameful charges of political corruption & heresy's for monetary gain
*Pope Clement was then situated in France under virtual control by King Philip who hoped also to seize the famous Knight's treasure; erase the enormous debt owed to Knight's banks and also confiscate their substantial land holdings and dissolve their considerable power base which was taken as a potential threat to the the throne.
Alas the fabled Knight's treasure, which escaped on awaiting Knight's 18 ships has never been found to this day but many knights were tortured for their sacred secrets and Grand Master Molay was treacherously burned at the stake.
*Thus 'Friday the 13th bad luck' stigma but there is a rest of the story .......
Nota Bene:
FEAR NOT MOTTO:
“Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and stand upright that God may love thee.” . Do not fear these people who will tell you that your views are backward or antiquated. These are the last arguments of a movement who has run out of ideas. If you believe something, never let it go. There is nothing more pathetic than a warrior who has lost his or her convictions.
Do your research and educate yourself on the issues you feel passionately about and be ready to tango at all times. The Templars were experts with weaponry. The arms are facts and history, they are on our side, but just like a sword, it is useless in unskilled hands. So be brave.
