For this mini update, a limited run of some political advertisements in time for the American Election on 02 November. The theme being, "A Tale of Two TV-Dinners Revisited". The Johannite Legend of the Templars AntiqIllum RE/Mix is now available. It is a rather Rough Cut version, don't look for anything easy to read or navigate. That aside, there are gems in there that are not going to be easily found anywhere else, much like everything else we have been offering over the past five (count-em: 5) years. Changes in the making: Due to overwhelming traffic, Grey Lodge Occult Review has its own domain, the link being: http://www.greylodge.org/occultreview/idxs/gloridx.html A chance that the Mad Prophet Blog will be up and running by the 1st of November to coincide with a major event in the alternative media.

A TALE OF TWO TV-DINNERS REVISITED
Because we published an editorial back in 2000, for the 2000 Election, relating how we felt about the choices THEN, and that they reminded us of TV dinners... we offer A Tale of Two TV-Dinners Revisited. Really, the choices are the same, again. Or has it been downgraded to hospital fare? Yeah, that's it!
To start things off, here is the earlier post, from the year 2000:
I have before me a choice to make. A choice between two TV dinners. One is in a red box, and the other is in a blue box. One has a southwestern US flavor, the other is categorized as a "traditional favorite." The red package is a Banquet Mexican Enchilada Combo Meal, while the blue package is a Swanson Boneless Pork Rib (Shaped Patty in Barbecue Sauce), Char-grilled for Great Taste. The Banquet meal comes from Nebraska, while the Swanson meal comes from New Jersey.
We get in the Banquet meal, Chili Sauce with Beef, Cheese Enchilada and Beef Enchilada, Refried Beans and Mexican Style Rice. In the Swanson meal, we get, in addition to the Boneless Pork Rib shaped patty in Barbecue Sauce, Barbecue Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, and Apple Crumb Dessert.
The Banquet Meal contains one serving. Total calories, 370. Calories from fat: 110. Cholesterol, 20 mg, Salt 1390 mg, carbohydrates 55g, protein 55g.
The Swanson Meal contains one serving. Total calories, 470. Calories from fat: 170. Cholesterol 30 mg, Salt 900 mg, carbohydrates 58g, and only 16 g of protein.
In the store we purchased these items, the Banquet dinner was $1.67, while the Swanson dinner cost us $2.65.
Comparing the two, the Swanson meal is fattier, has more cholesterol and carbohydrates, and costs about a dollar more. It may have less salt than the other, but salt isn't all that bad anyway.
In doing this exercise, it reminds one of the choice before us all on 07 November, at least in the United States of America. Do we want a TV dinner that has less fat and has more nutrition value, for a lower price? Or do we want more pork, cholesterol, fat, carbohydrates, and less protein?
Of course, we could choose an all veggy dinner, or an all meat dinner, with perhaps a glass of cheap red wine to wash it down, but nahh, we like enchiladas.
Then again, since we know how to cook, a rarety in males of the species these days, we might just go for an Eggs Benedict or a Cheese Soufflé!
The stats speak for themselves. The analogy is accurate, the choice is yours. Get out and vote, even if you vote Libertarian! --the Management.
[This year we would say, even if you vote for Leonard Pelletier! but then I wouldn't want to ruin his life that way, the feds did enough already.]
This year, less talk and more images:
Which Witch is Witch?A hot button issue here in California, though not nearly as controversial an election issue as other things, like some hotly contested races in the Central Valley, the Casino issue, the 3 Strikes issue, et cetera. Let's face it: Stem Cell Research might not remove all the sickness from the world, but it does stand to make the world a better place. Of course there are those we know who think we are crazy for wanting such a fershtinkener thing! And to showcase our point, on the left: the fortunately late ex monster in law; on the right what can best be described as an exact clone of same. More than one person has made this observation. Ever see the X Files episode called "Eve"? Hey I was in that truck stop on Interstate 5 in the North Valley, once, myself. |
Election NightIt's Election Night, 2004. What are you going to do, here in America? Watch Coyote Ugly on USA? Or watch the returns on the news stations? Well we have one programming recommendation, coming next..... So this time, it's a choice between Deep Fried Texan and Boston Stew? Yick. |
Coffee, Vodka, and Me!!!THE COFFEE'S ON ME! Like a drunk bikini on a Rolodex.....
hey! watch
that vodka, there went my keyboard! whoa!!!! That's like a Russian
in heat at the Olympics minus the international press! "Let's get

Now, wasn't that fun? On to serious business...
THE JOHANNITE LEGEND OF THE TEMPLARS, AntiqIllum™ RE/Mix
This is an updated version of the original "Johannite Legend of the Templars" that appears in Qadosh: The Johannite Tradition, Part One. Sure, it contains the same material as we presented it there, however there are some changes and additions.
First, there is a section dealing with the circumstances leading to the Neo Templar movement in France at the beginning of the 19th Century. This includes some narrative on the movement that preceded it. This is important, because we are convinced that the original founders of the Templar movement in France, may not have gotten a genuine "Charter of Transmission" but they did get a genuine Transmission ITSELF! What do we mean? Are we preposterous? Have we not read those websites like that operative... ahem, operator, in Switzerland who is sooooo passé by now?
See, the first Transmission occurred during the First Crusade. We shall get to this later on in Book Two Part Five. Next, a Transmission came, via the Hurufis to Italy at the time of Dante. Another Transmission came via the influence of the Bekhtashi Dervishes on the Donmeh. Indeed the activities of the Shabbeteans in the Tiberiade region may have been what caused the "Galileans" to move to Latakia. At the time of the First Crusade, these would have included the "Nazarene" Bishops written of by William of Tyre.
Following this, we get Transmissions communicated via French travellers going to Syria and the "Holy Land". One of these was Maundrell, who brought back the first information about the Nusairis practicing Religious Dissimulation. Then there was the trip that Karsten Niebuhr, (from Jutland, by the way), took to Syria and the "Holy Land" and Egypt, Arabia and India. If he was the elusive "Kolmer", we have no way of proving at this time, but if there was indeed a "Kolmer" and there very well could have been, this is where the influence upon the French who formed the body of the Lodge at Lyons where Adam Weishaupt's superiors operated... took place. Weishaupt, in turn, is a descendant of this Tradition.
When people ask about the Illuminati, they want the things that go bump in the night, but what they are likely to get may in fact be bumpier than they ever imagined.
However, for the Initiate, this is nothing to worry about.
These travelogues exerted an influence upon the nobles of France. There has always been a keen interest in Syria, on the part of certain parties in France. In fact, it was from Syria that the French got Rose culture, Plums (aka Midis Pommes Bleus by the way), the Chartreuse Cat, and other things, such as a Franco-Syrian bloodline that was initiated, between the Frank nobles who arrived in Syria at the time of the First Crusade, and which sired blond haired blue eyed Syrians. These today are referred to under different terms...
We are told that Fabré-Palaprat found a copy of the Levitikon in a Second-hand Book-stall. The Levitikon being a book allegedly written by a Greek Bishop of the name of Nicephorus, from the 15th Century. This is a clue. Nicephorus is said to have been initiated into Sufism. The Sufism of the time and place would likely have been associated with the same Bekhtashi Sufism that inspired the Donmeh. Therefore it is no surprise to us to see the story that is not being told everywhere else. The Johannite Legend expressly states that there is a Johannite Tradition behind all of this. Is this so? From what we gather it is, and whether it is a group that existed in Galilee proper, or were Israelites descended from the Samaritans, who moved to the Tiberiade and lasted there until the early-mid 17th Century and were carrying on the traditions of John the Baptist, or whether they were the Nazarenes / Nazrei / Nozrei Ha Berit, including the Sampsaeans (Shamsi / Chamalis / devotees of Sheikh Shams of the Nusairis and Yezidis respectively), this sect has existed and has included strands from just about every other group known to us in the area, going back to the Phoenicians and then some.
Going back, no doubt, to those quaint old days on Mount Hermon. Yarrr!
So, then, we offer two PDF files: The Johannite Legend of the Templars AntiqIllum RE/Mix, and a Readings Segment. The Readings Segment is an excerpt from G. R. S. Mead's excellent work, Did Jesus Live 100 B. C. ? We have excerpted chapters 17 and 18, on the Early Christians and on the Book of Elxai. These are extremely important pieces of information regarding the subject matter we are transmitting. There is a Johannite Tradition that has existed throughout the entire Near and Middle East forever, and John the Baptist was just one carrier of it. Again, the thought comes up, after digesting so much of this, is simply the question: Just What is NOT Being Said Here?
With that we take our leave of this introductory.

Due to overwhelming demand for the new content in Grey Lodge Occult Review Issue 13, GLOR has been given its own domain and server space. When our team does all this for free, and then gets a bill for maxxing out the file transfer allowances.... somebody ELSE should be paying US.
No new issue yet. STAY TUNED. We KNOW you WILL.
Changes in the future will be forcing everybody else to facilitate us, and pay for what we need.

Very soon, maybe even before the Election, Thee Ravings Ov Thee Mad Prophet blog will be up and running. In there you will find content you will very rarely find even on the Antiquities of the Illuminati series of websites. Remember: You were warned....
BY THE WAY...

inclusion in this volume, I know it will be a really tasty stew. |
ONE LAST CHANCE TO GRAB THE BUMPER STICKER OF THE YEAR:
France for President.
Since the Republicans don't like the French, or France, or at least since Rudy Giuliani doesn't, we had to offer an alternate candidate for the 2004 Election: France for President! See the bumper sticker? Feel free to rip it and put it every where.
CONCLUDING
To conclude, then, we hope that you enjoy the present season of Antiquities of the Illuminati. There's plenty for all interested in the particular Story we are telling.
