The following was apparently found in a letter written by the head of American Free-Masonry, Albert Pike, to the head of Free-Masonry in Italy, Giuseppe Mazzini, in 1871.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
note- of course you realize that not only are World Wars I and II still in the future when this letter was penned, but "the State of Israel" did not exist until 1948.
Interesting... I DID put in some of the material from the usual circulated emails that go around to the right-wingers... One of the first hits I got was this:
Pike and Mazzini
Yet another fabrication—often repeated by anti-masons and conspiracy theorists—is the claim that Albert Pike was in correspondence with Giusseppe Mazzini. First claimed by Edith Starr Miller, the accusation was later repeated by William Guy Carr, who cited Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, author of The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled. In Pawns in the Game, Carr claims that this correspondence was on display in the British Museum but didn't provide the source of his information. Later, in Satan, Prince of this World, Carr includes the following footnote:
"The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT cataloged in the British Museum Library. It seems strange that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925".
In fact, the accusation—although not the specifics— can be traced to the earlier writings of the self-confessed hoaxsters Domenico Margiotta and Leo Taxil. There is no evidence that any correspondence ever existed. The British Museum has recently confirmed in writing to researcher Michael Haupt that such a document has never been in their possession.
It cannot be stressed too strongly that these claimed excerpts from a non-existent correspondence are not supported by any documentation. Internal evidence, the language and subject matter, clearly suggest a much later creation date.
Wow... Who ya gonna believe?... A circulated email from the usual crowd who haven't learned how to use snopes.com, (and apparently have no sources other than their own circulated email); or the folks who have access to those kinds of documents, and seem to have info from specific hoaxsters... Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Every time I ask for some kind of link or proof, the guy calls me Scruffy. It must be some kind of insult that he dreamed up for those frequent times when an answer isn't close at hand. Yes, PF, I can use Google. I was just wondering if Nmysys was circulating this before or after researching it. You can never trust those Lucifer worshippers.
Scruffy disappeared from this forum just before you joined in. On top of that you repeat exact phrases that Scruffy used constantly. Methinks thou doth protest too much!!
