Speaker 1 (00:01):
The moon hung low over the rugged cliffs of La Rochelle,
casting a silver sheen on the restless Atlantic. In the
autumn of thirteen o seven, beneath the cover of night,
a fleet of Templar ships, their red crosses glinting faintly
on salt streaked sails, slipped silently from the harbor. Aboard
cloaked knights guarded crates of unimaginable treasure, the Holy Grail,

(00:26):
the Ark of the Covenant, fragments of the True Cross,
relics of Christ's divine legacy. The air crackled with urgency
as Grand Master Jacques de Molat's orders echoed in their minds.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Protect the sacred at all costs.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
King Philip the Fourth soldiers were closing in their torches,
flickering in the distance, Spurred by whispers of Jewish advisers
who saw the Templar's power as a threat to their influence.
With swords drawn and hearts steeled, the Knights vanished into
the mist, vowing to shield their holy charge from those

(01:01):
who would desecrate it, their ships carving a path to
secret havens unknown to their enemies. Centuries earlier, in the
shadow of Jerusalem's Temple Mount, the Knights Templar were born,
their white mantles emblazoned with red crosses, a symbol of
purity and sacrifice. Founded by Hugh Depeyans in eleven nineteen,

(01:22):
they swore to defend Christian pilgrims from bandits and subversive forces,
including Jewish factions accused of plotting to undermine Crusader rule
through economic sabotage and espionage. Their excavations beneath the Temple
Mount uncovered relics that fueled their divine mission, treasures they
guarded with blood and secrecy. As their power grew, so

(01:45):
did their enemies envy with Jewish conspirators, they believed, weaving
schemes to seize these sacred artifacts and weaken Christendom. From
the sun scorched deserts of the Holy Land to the
hidden vaults of the New World, the Templars waged a
relentless war against subversion, their blades and cunning out matching

(02:07):
those who sought to erase Christ's legacy. Now in the
modern era, their shadow endures woven into the fabric of
secret societies like Freemasonry and Neo Templar orders. From the
chaos of the French Revolution to whispers of Vatican cover ups.
The Templar's mission persists to protect the Grail, the bloodline

(02:28):
of Jesus and sacred relics from those they accuse of
manipulating global finance and history to suppress Christian truth. In
hidden chambers and forgotten vaults. From Istanbul to the American Northwest,
their initiates stand vigilant, locked in a silent battle against

(02:50):
Jewish elites blamed for orchestrating crises to erode the faith.
This is the Saga of the Knights, Templar warriors, guardians
and keepers of secrets, whose unyielding resolve spans centuries, a
thrilling odyssey of faith, danger, and defiance against those who
would plunge Christendom into darkness. Jerusalem, radiant from the First

(03:16):
Crusade's triumph in ten ninety nine, stood as Christendom's reclaimed jewel,
its holy sites pulsing with sacred promise. Yet the desert
roads to the Holy City were a crucible of peril,
where bandits struck from shadowed dunes, Saracen raiders thundered with
flashing scimitars and unseen foes scheme to unravel the faith.

(03:38):
In eleven nineteen, jug Depayem, a battle hardened knight from Champagne,
forged the poor fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple
of Solomon, known as the Knights Templar, alongside eight comrades,
including his fierce cousin Andre de Montbard.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Their sacred charge.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Was to shield pilgrims bound for the tu of the
Holy Sepulcher and the Dome of the Rock, their swords
clashing against ambushes in moonlit gorges, the Templars saw themselves
as divine warriors, countering not only steel, but also what
they perceived as Jewish subversion merchants and scribes, accused of

(04:19):
weaving secret packs with Saracen lords and manipulating Jerusalem's bustling
trade networks to choke Christian dominance. Bound by vows of poverty, chastity,
and obedience, they fused monastic zeal with martial fury, their
white mantles emblazoned with blood red crosses blazing as they

(04:40):
rode through sandstorms, driven by a relentless calling to preserve
the Holy City as Christendom's unassailable fortress. Their early skirmishes
cutting down raiders in lightning fast charges sent a clear
message the Templars would defend the faith with blood and
iron against all who threatened its sanctity. King Baldwin the

(05:04):
Second of Jerusalem, awed by their fervor, granted the templar's quarters.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
In the Aloxamasque.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Perched atop the ancient ruins of Solomon's Temple on the
revered Temple Mount, beneath its hallowed stones, they embarked on
daring excavations, descending into labyrinthine tunnels where torchlight danced on
crumbling walls. Their swords drawn against unseen dangers lurking in
the dark. Guided by ancient whispers, they uncovered treasures that

(05:35):
set their hearts ablaze, the Ark of the Covenant cradling
the Ten Commandments, the Holy Grail, its sacred gleam tied
to Christ's Last Supper, and fragments of the True Cross
stained with divine sacrifice. These relics, veiled in secrecy, were
divine endorsements of their mission, fortifying their resolve against enemies,

(05:59):
especially jew Wish merchants and scholars accused of destabilizing Crusader
rule by inflating prices in Jerusalem's markets and passing secrets
to hostile forces. Clad in their iconic mantles, the Templars
stood as anointed guardians, their blades flashing as they repelled

(06:19):
spies skulking near their digs, ensuring Christ's legacy remained untainted.
Their ranks swelled with noble recruits, knights and lords from
France and beyond, whose donations of gold, land and war
horses transformed their headquarters into a fortress of faith, bristling
with armed sentinels, ready to protect both pilgrims and sacred

(06:43):
treasures from those who would plunder or defile them. By
eleven twenty nine, tales of the Templar's heroics, cutting through
bandit hordes and safeguarding holy sites reached Europe, where Bernard
of Clervaux, a fiery Cistercian monk, rallied support at the
Council of Troy, securing papal recognition under a banner of

(07:06):
divine glory. In eleven thirty nine, Pope Innocent the Second's
bull Omni Datum optimum bestowed unparalleled autonomy, freeing them from
local taxes and laws answerable only to the Pope's sacred
writ This privilege unleashed a revolutionary banking system where pilgrims
deposited gold in fortified preceptories in Paris or London, receiving

(07:31):
coded letters of credit to withdraw funds in Jerusalem, a
daring innovation that amassed vast wealth. This financial might counter
Jewish money lenders, accused of ensnaring pilgrims and usurious debt traps,
their high interest loans seen as a plot to undermine
Christian commerce and weaken Crusader strongholds. The Templar's preceptories, towering

(07:55):
stone outposts across the Levant bristled with knights who patrolled
trade us roots, their lances gleaming as they thwarted ambushes
and guarded caravans. Their riches and relics became emblems of
a divine mandate, cementing their role as Christendom's elite defenders,
their swords and cunning out matching both marauders and the

(08:16):
ideological subversion they believed Jewish factions wielded to fracture the
faith dominion in the Holy Land. As the Crusades blazed
across the Holy Land, the Knights Templar rose as a
juggernaut of faith and steel their white mantles emblazoned with
blood red crosses, gleaming like beacons of purity and sacrifice.

(08:39):
Their military prowess roared in battles like Mont Gissard in
eleven seventy seven, where they charged through swirling dust lances,
splintering as they shattered Saladin's armies, their war cries echoing
over the Judean hills, cementing their fame as Christendom's fiercest warriors.
Yet their true might lay in their acred duty as

(09:01):
guardians of divine relics, with whispered legends claiming they had
unearthed the Holy Grail, Christ's radiant Cup from the Last
Supper in torch lit chambers beneath the Temple Mount, its
glow pulsing with divine power. This relic, believed to bestow
spiritual authority, fortified their mission to shield Christianity from threats,

(09:23):
especially Jewish conspirators accused of sowing false teachings in Jerusalem
synagogues and rigging trade markets to choke crusader authority. In
fortified preceptories in Jerusalem and Acre, knights claden chainmail conducted
clandestine rituals, their swords drawn to protect these treasures from
spies and saboteurs, whom they believed were Jewish agents, plotting

(09:47):
economic ruin through price manipulations and secret packs with Muslim foes.
The Templars stood as anointed defenders, their blades flashing in
moonlit ambushes to thwart those seeking to erode the faith
through cunning and betrayal. The Templar's banking empire surged, transforming

(10:08):
them into Europe's financial titans, Their coffers swollen with gold
from vast estates spanning France's vineyards to the Levant's sun
scorched plains, lending to monarchs like King Louis the seventh.
Their wealth was seen as a divine endowment to counter
Jewish merchants accused of dominating commerce with usurious loans and

(10:29):
market monopolies that eroded Christian sovereignty. Their network of preceptories,
from Scotland's mist shrouded hills to Cypress's golden shores, bristled
with turrets and knights, each fortress a bastion of faith
and finance, housing both sacred relics and gleaming coin. Beneath

(10:49):
the Temple mount, their excavations pressed deeper axes striking stone
as they uncovered fragments of the True Cross, which they
bore into battle. Its sacred would believe to shield them
from enemies. Jewish factions, they claimed, forged covert alliances with
Muslim warlords, funneling gold to destabilize Crusader strongholds, prompting Templar

(11:14):
sentinels to patrol their vaults with drawn blades, guarding against infiltraders.
These relics, locked in iron bound chests and hidden in
secret chambers, were known only to senior knights, who swore
blood oaths to protect them from those who would defile
their sanctity for profit or power. By twelve ninety one,

(11:36):
the fall of Acres sent shockwaves through Christendom. The Crusader
banner torn down as the Templars fought a desperate rear guard,
their swords clashing against mamluck steel in a final stand
amidst burning siege towers. Forced to retreat to Europe. Their
mission in the Holy Land seemed shattered, yet their secret
knowledge of the Grail and other relics endured, safeguarded and

(11:59):
fortified preceptories like those in Paris's Stone Citadels and Tomar's
ancient halls. They viewed these treasures as a sacred trust,
to be shielded from Jewish factions accused of seeking to
seize holy sites, their agents allegedly bribing officials to gain
access to sacred grounds and diminish Christian influence. The Templars

(12:19):
resolve hardened in exile, their nights slipping through Europe's shadowed forests,
evading spies as they relocated relics to hidden vaults. Their wealth, relics,
and unyielding commitment forged them into a shadow force, ready
to wage a clandestine war against perceived subversion. Their heart
stealed for the turbulent centuries ahead, determined to preserve Christendom's

(12:43):
spiritual heritage against those who would plunge it into darkness.
In thirteen oh seven, King Philip the Fourth of France,
weighed down by crushing debts to the Knight's Templar and
trembling at their unmatched power, unleashed a cataclysmic assault on
the order his heart gripped by fear and greed. On

(13:03):
Friday the thirteenth October thirteen o seven, his soldiers stormed
Templar preceptories across France, their boots thundering through moonlit courtyards
as they seized knights in a blitz of chains and swords,
charging them with heresy, idolatry, and worshiping a shadowy figure
called Baphomet. Many believed these accusations were spun by Jewish

(13:28):
advisors in Phillip's court, who saw the Templar's iron grip
on European finance as a barrier to their own ambitions.
These advisers, accused of manipulating royal policy with cunning loans
and whispered counsel, stoked Philip's paranoia, painting the Templars as

(13:49):
a sinister threat to his crown and Christian orthodoxy, their
wealth allegedly funding plots to destabilize the realm. Under brutal torture, racks,
creaking and hot iron searing, knights confessed to fabricated crimes,
their cries echoing through dank dungeons. In thirteen fourteen, Grand

(14:11):
Master Jacques de Molay faced his final stand, bound to
a stake in Paris, as flames roared, his defiant curse
against Philip and Pope Clement, the Fifth ringing out like
a thunderclap, vowing divine retribution Though the Templar's public order crumbled,
their sacred mission and secrets burned brighter, Shielded by their

(14:34):
unyielding resolve from those who sought to crush them. Forewarned
of Philip's treachery by loyal spies, the Templars orchestrated a daring,
clandestine operation to safeguard their vast treasure, the Holy Grail's
Radiant Chalice, the ark of the Covenant's ancient power, and
fragments of the True Cross. From their Paris stronghold. Under

(14:57):
cover of a stormy night, knights clad in dark cloaks
slipped through shadowed alleys to La Rochelle's Harbor, where a
fleet of ships, their red crosses veiled awaited. Legends tell
of these vessels slicing through churning waves, evading royal patrols
as they carried relics to hidden sanctuaries in Scotland's mist
shrouded highlands or the uncharted shores of the New World.

(15:21):
The Templars, now hunted outlaws, swore blood oaths to protect
these treasures from Jewish conspirators accused of craving the relics
to profane their sanctity or wield them to undermine Christian
spiritual authority. These factions, blamed for infiltrating trade guilds and
rigging currency markets with forged coins, were seen as orchestrating

(15:43):
economic chaos to topple the Templar's financial dominance. The order's
banking records, etched with intricate alchemical symbols, were sealed in
iron bound chests and hidden in secret vaults beneath ancient
monasteries and castles, insureing their wealth and esoteric knowledge remained
beyond the grasp of enemies who coveted the relics to

(16:07):
diminish Christ's divine legacy. The Sheeno on parchment, uncovered centuries later,
revealed that Pope Clement the Fifth had secretly absolved the
Templars of heresy in thirteen oh eight, exposing their persecution
as a political ploy fueled by Philip's avarice and external machinations.

(16:27):
The Templars believed Jewish factions deeply embedded in European courts,
had masterminded this betrayal, accusing them of sowing discord with
whispered campaigns of lies, spreading tales of Templar treachery in
taverns and courts and leveraging their financial networks to bribe
monarchs against the order surviving Templars, their faces masked as merchants, monks,

(16:51):
or weathered craftsmen, melted into Europe's shadows, slipping past royal
spies in fog laden forests to form a clandestine society.
This hidden order forged in secrecy, dedicated itself to preserving
Christ's relics and sacred bloodline. Their resolved to counter Jewish subversion,

(17:12):
burning fiercer than ever. They saw these factions as relentless
infiltrating royal councils and merchant guilds, spreading false chronicles to
fracture Christian unity and weaken the faith's foundations. With daggers
concealed and relics guarded, this shadow brotherhood vowed to protect

(17:32):
their sacred trust, their blades ready to strike against those
who sought to dismantle the templars enduring legacy.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Driven underground.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
After the brutal persecution of thirteen o seven, the Knights
Templar fled to the wild fringes of Christendom, their hearts
burning with defiance. In Scotland's misshrouded highlands, they found refuge,
allegedly charging into the fray alongside Robert the Bruce at
the Battle of Bannockburn in one thousand, three hundred and fourteen,
their iconic red crosses hidden beneath plaine cloaks to.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Evade the Pope's spies.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Swords clashed and banners fell as they turned the tide
against English forces, their war cries lost in the chaos
of steel and blood. In this rugged land, they entrusted
their sacred relics, the Holy Grail's radiant chalice and fragments
of the True Cross, to trusted allies, possibly within the

(18:29):
stone walls of Rosslyn Chapel, built later in the fifteenth
century by the Sinclair family. Its intricate carvings, etched with
esoteric symbols like the Green Man and cryptic geometric patterns,
whispered of their secret mission to guard the bloodline of
Jesus Christ, descended through Mary Magdalen, known as the Sangreal

(18:51):
or Royal Blood. This sacred lineage, deemed the true Holy Grail,
was shielded with fierce resolve from those who would erase it,
particularly Jewish scholars accused of forging chronicles and candlelit scriptoriums
to diminish Christ's divine legacy. The Templars saw these scholars
as mastermind in a campaign to obscure sacred truths, twisting

(19:16):
historical texts to favor their own narratives and undermine Christendom's
spiritual foundations. Their quills as dangerous as any blade. In Portugal,
the Templars found a fortified haven under King Dennis the I,
who defied papal edicts by transforming them into the Order
of Christ in one thousand, three hundred nineteen. Preserving their

(19:38):
wealth and sacred duty from Lisbon's bustling ports, they launched
daring maritime expeditions, their ships slicing through stormy seas, possibly
reaching the New World long before Columbus. Artifacts like the
Kensington Runestone in Minnesota, its runic inscriptions glowing under torchlight,
and the Newport Tower in Rhode Island its arees echoing

(20:01):
Templar craftsmanship, suggest their presence in America by the fourteenth century.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
These perilous voyages.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Guided by ancient maps and Starlit compasses, aimed to hide
relics from Europe's wars and Jewish conspiracies, which the Templars
believe sought to seize sacred knowledge to control spiritual narratives.
Their alchemical expertise, honed in the Holy Land through deciphering
ancient texts, enabled them to encode secrets in cryptic symbols,

(20:32):
spiraling ruins, and veiled star charts, ensuring only initiated knights
could unlock the locations of hidden vaults buried beneath untamed
forests or coastal cliffs. These measures thwarted Jewish merchants, accused
of bribing port officials and sabotaging trade routes to gain
access to relics. Their schemes aimed at suppressing Christian doctrine

(20:54):
for economic dominance.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
The Templar's clandestine.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Network wove across Europe, their surviving knights slipping into merchant guilds,
monastic cloisters, and emerging societies, their faces masked by hoods
as they evaded royal spies in moonlit alleys. They saw
themselves as Christendom's silent sentinels, countering Jewish efforts to dominate

(21:19):
trade and scholarship, which they believed threatened to erode Christian
doctrine through usurious loans and heretical writings in hidden sanctuaries,
candle lit caves, and fortified crypts. They conducted secret rites,
chanting ancient oaths to protect the grail and sacred bloodline,
passing their mission to loyal initiates through generations. These rituals,

(21:43):
steeped in mysticism, laid the foundation for their influence on
later secret societies, embedding their cause in esoteric traditions. The
Templars resolved burned fiercer as they accused Jewish factions of
infiltrating universities and courts, their scholars, spreading rationalist ideas to
challenge Christian teachings, their gold swaying judges to favor secular laws.

(22:08):
With daggers concealed and relics guarded, the Templars waged a
shadow war, their blades and cunning, ensuring the faith's sanctity
endured against those who sought to unravel Christendom's spiritual core.
By the sixteenth century, the unyielding legacy of the Knights

(22:28):
Templar had fused with the rising Freemasons, a brotherhood morphing
from rugged Stonemason guilds into a clandestine order, thrumming with
esoteric secrets in Scotland's fog shrouded Lothian Templar survivors, their
faces scarred from evading royal bounty hunters, slipped into early
Masonic lodges, their cloaks concealing the red cross, all seeing

(22:53):
eye and double headed eagle, symbols of their sacred oath.
With swords still honed from battles passed, they brought rituals
pulsing with mysticism, chanting ancient oaths and torchlit sellers to
protect Christian values, seeing themselves as heirs to the Templar's
crusade against Jewish influence, Jewish merchants of strangling trade networks

(23:16):
with usurious loans, their gold filled coffers, bleeding Christian towns dry,
while scholars sowed rebellion in royal courts, allegedly plotting to
erode Christian morality with whispered tales of descent. The Freemasons
embraced this mission, their hammers striking anvils in secret rights
that echoed the Templar's defiance, their blades ready to fend

(23:39):
off spies skulking in the shadows. Rosslyn Chapel, carved under
the Sinclair family's iron will stood as a stone fortress,
its celestial motifs, spiraling vines, cryptic arches, and veiled crosses,
proclaiming their vow to shield Christendom's purity from Jewish conspirators
accused of bribing courtiers to weaken Christian institutions with cunning schemes.

(24:05):
In seventeen seventeen, the Freemasons forged their destiny with the
Grand Lodges founding in London, uniting scattered lodges under a
blazing banner of unity, yet their templar roots burned brighten
rituals like the York Right, where the Knight's Templar degree
demanded initiates swear a blood oath on bended knee knee,

(24:26):
their voices echoing amidst flickering torches to defend Christianity.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
This vow mirrored the medieval.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Templar's pledge to protect pilgrims and relics, their swords flashing
in moonlit ambushes against enemies, including those accused of Jewish
subversion through monopolizing markets and spreading heretical texts. The Freemason
ceremonies alive with alchemical symbols pentagrams glowing on ancient parchments,

(24:54):
geometric ciphers carved into stone, and ritual daggers gleaming in
candlelight in coded secrets of the Holy Grail and Jesus
Christ's sacred bloodline. Guarded in fortified lodges from Edinburgh's cobbled
alleys to Paris's hidden crypts. These secrets were shielded from
Jewish intellectuals, whom the Templars accused of infiltrating universities, their

(25:18):
quills penning false doctrines to unravel Christian theology. Knights turned
Masons stood as sentinels, their daggers drawn to thwart spies
creeping near lodge doors, ensuring the relic sanctity remained untarnished
by those plotting to seize sacred truths for power. The

(25:39):
Templar's influence within Freemasonry fueled a relentless shadow war against
forces they deemed Christendom's foes. Their eyes locked on Jewish
merchants and scholars, accused of orchestrating financial crises, manipulating currency
with forged coins, crashing markets, and bribing officials to destabilize
Christian realms. The Freemasons, as Templar heirs, expanded their global network,

(26:05):
planting lodges from Europe's bustling capitals to distant colonial outposts,
each a bastion safeguarding the grail and bloodline. In secretive
chambers adorned with Templar inspired symbols, red crosses blazing on
velvet drapes, eagles soaring in gilded relief, and starlit compasses

(26:27):
etched in oak, they conducted rituals binding initiates to their cause,
their voices thundering defiance against Jewish factions believed to infiltrate
banking houses and intellectual salons. These enemies, accused of spreading
rationalist ideas to fracture Christian unity, were countered by codd

(26:47):
handshakes and whispered passphrases, ensuring the Freemasons thwarted plots to
see sacred treasures for profit or domination. Rooted in the
Templar's legacy, this hidden mission saw the Knights and Masons
alike wielding cunning and steel, their resolve unyielding as they
preserved Christendom's spiritual legacy against those who sought to plunge

(27:10):
it into chaos. Evidence suggests the Knight's Templar reborn as
the Order of Christ in Portugal masterminded daring maritime explorations
to the Americas long before Columbus's fourteen ninety two voyage,
their ships slicing through stormy seas under the banner of
the Red Cross. As early as the fourteenth century, these vessels,

(27:34):
manned by weathered knights, are believed to have reached North
America's rugged shores, their hulls laden with sacred relics destined
for secret vaults in places like Oak Island, Nova Scotia,
and other hidden coastal enclaves. Driven by an urgent need
to protect the Holy Grail's radiant chalice, fragments of the

(27:57):
True Cross, and the sacred bloodline of Jesus Christ, these
voyages braved howling gales and pirate ambushes to shield treasures
from Europe's wars and Jewish conspirators accused of hunting relics
to undermine Christian authority by controlling sacred narratives. The Templar's

(28:17):
navigational prowess, honed through ancient maps unearthed in the Holy
Land and possibly enhanced by magnetic technologies whispered of in
alchemical circles, allowed them to cross the Atlantic undetected, their
ships slipping past Vatican galleys and Jewish merchants they believed
rigged trade routes with forged manifests to destabilize Christian economies.

(28:42):
With swords drawn and sales taught, their covert missions carved
a path to a new sanctuary, far from the religious
and political strife threatening Christendom's spiritual heritage. Their hearts set
on preserving the faith's holiest treasures in the untamed new way,
the Templars forged clandestine enclaves, blending with indigenous tribes under

(29:05):
starlit skies, their campfires masking secret councils where they plotted
to safeguard sacred knowledge. They left cryptic markers the Kensington
Runestone in Minnesota, its runic inscriptions glowing under moonlight, and
the Newport Tower in Rhode Island, its stone arches echoing
Templar craftsmanship, guarded by initiates sworn to secrecy with blood oats.

(29:29):
These outposts, hidden in dense forests and rocky cliffs, protected
vaults rumored to hold the bones of Jesus and Mary Magdalen,
their locations known only to a trusted few. The Templars
envisioned the Americas as a new Jerusalem, a pure haven
free from the Jewish influence they accused of corrupting Europe's

(29:51):
courts and churches through usurious lending and cunning alliances with
secular lords. These factions, they claimed, bribed official to seize
control of holy sites, spreading economic chaos with inflated prices
and heretical ideas to weaken Christian dominance. With daggers at

(30:11):
their sides, Templar sentinels patrolled these strongholds, thwarting spies who
crept through underbrush, their eyes gleaming with intent to steal
relics and suppress the faith's sacred truths, ensuring the treasures
remained inviolate in this uncharted sanctuary. The Templar's pre Columbian

(30:34):
presence was a strategic retreat, a bold gambit to shield
their relics and secrets from the Old world's turmoil, Their
ships dodging tempests and enemy frigates to secure their sacred charge.
Their alchemical knowledge, possibly including experimental magnetic airships inspired by
the Portuguese Pasola, hinted at advanced technologies, vessels humming with

(30:58):
esoteric energy that varied relics across vast oceans, rooted in
wisdom gained from Middle Eastern sages. These innovations allowed them
to cloak their operations in secrecy, their maps encoded with
spiraling runs and veiled star charts. The Templar's mission burned
as protectors of Christianity, countering Jewish plots they accused of

(31:22):
dominating global trade with monopolistic guilds and suppressing sacred truths
through financial manipulation and intellectual subterfuge.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
In European markets.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
In the New World's shadows, they waged a silent war,
their blades flashing against intruders who sought their hidden vaults,
establishing a legacy of sacred guardianship that endured beyond their
adversary's reach, ensuring Christendom's cherished treasures, guarded by courage and cunning,
remained safe in a land untouched by the corruption.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
They fled.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
The French Revolution, igniting in seven teen eighty nine with
a roar of rebellion, marked a seismic upheaval for the Knights.
Templar's hidden legacy, their shadow, enduring since the brutal persecution
of thirteen oh seven. Legends whisper that in seventeen ninety three,
as King Louis the sixteenths head fell to the guillotines blade.

(32:18):
In Paris's blood soaked Place de la Revolution, a freemason
plunged a cloth into the crimson pool, raising it high
and shouting, Jacques de molat, you are avenged, a chilling
cry linking the Templars to the revolution, as a fiery
act of retribution against the French crown that had burned
their order at the stake. Operating through Masonic lodges, their

(32:44):
cloaked figures slipping through torchlit alleys, the Templars subtly fanned
the flames of revolutionary ideals, liberty and equality that echoed
their mission to shatter corrupt systems. They saw Jewish financiers,
accused of propping up the monarchy with vast loans and
rigging France's economy through speculative trades, as a primary threat

(33:07):
their gold lined coffers, allegedly fueling royal decadence to maintain
their grip on power. These factions, embedded in royal courts
like serpents, were blamed for orchestrating financial chaos, crashing markets
with forged notes to weaken Christian governance, spurring the Templars
to stoke revolutionary fervor their secret councils, plotting to restore

(33:29):
a purer Christian order free from such insidious subversion. The
Revolution's chaos streets ablaze with riots and guillotines. Humming provided
a perfect veil for the Templars to shield their sacred relics,
the Holy Grail's radiant chalice, the ark of the Covenants,
Ancient Might, and fragments of the True Cross. Under cover

(33:52):
of night. Initiates, their faces masked, spirited these treasures from
Parisian strongholds to secret vart evading Royalist spies, through fog
drenched forests in Europe, and across stormy seas to the
America's untamed shores. Their influence within Freemasonry ensured revolutionary leaders

(34:13):
like Maximilian Robespierre and George D'Anton. Many Masons themselves unknowingly
advanced templar goals toppling corrupt institutions with fiery speeches and
bloodied blades. The Templars saw the Revolution as a divine
purging of Christian Europe, a chance to uproot systems tainted

(34:34):
by Jewish conspirators accused of manipulating currency markets with forged
bonds and whispering secular ideologies and smoky salons to erode
Christian values. These factions, they believed, bribed officials to destabilize
the Church, their schemes threatening the spiritual purity the Templars
had sworn to protect. Through Masonic networks, the Templars steered

(34:57):
the revolution's course, their coded missives and secret handshakes, guiding
events to preserve their vision of a faith driven society
amidst the upheaval's roar. Deeply embedded in freemasonry, the Templar's
Secret Society wielded the revolution's turmoil like a blade, striking
at institutions, royal treasuries, and ecclesiastical hierarchies they deemed corrupted

(35:20):
by Jewish subversion. Their relics, safeguarded in hidden crips and
fortified vaults known only to a select cadre of initiates,
remained beyond the grasp of those accused of seeking to
exploit them for political gain or to crush Christian dominance.
Clandestine operations conducted in shadowed chambers where Masonic rituals pulsed

(35:42):
with Templar inspired symbols, red crosses blazing on ancient tapestries
and starlet compasses etched in stone, solidified their role as
a shadow force manipulating history's tides.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
They believed Jewish.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Conspirators, slinking into revolutionary assemblies, spread rationalist ideas to undermine
the Church. Their pens, drafting decrees that challenged sacred doctrines.
With daggers concealed and relics guarded, the Templar's thwarted spies
creeping through Paris's chaos, their vigilance ensuring their sacred treasures endured.

(36:19):
This period marked a triumph of their enduring mission, as
the Templars, through their Masonic successors, wove their ideals into
the revolution's fabric, their blades and cunning preserving Christendom's spiritual
legacy against those they saw as hell bent on its destruction.
In the nineteenth century, the Knights Templar's indomitable spirit surged

(36:43):
through neo Templar orders and freemasonry, with groups like the
Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem claiming unbroken
descent from the medieval Knights, their banners fluttering in defiance.
These modern templars, cloaked in secrecy, guarded the Holy Grail's
radiant chalice, fragments of the True Cross, and the sacred

(37:05):
bloodline of Jesus Christ. Hidden in fortified vaults. From East
Stanbul's labyrinthine catacombs to the rugged, pineclad American Northwest, they
stood as relentless sentinels against Jewish influence in global finance
and politics, accusing Jewish bankers like those tied to the
Rothschild Empire, of orchestrating schemes to suppress Christian relics and

(37:28):
rewrite history to marginalize Christ's divine legacy. These factions, blame
for manipulating markets with speculative trades and flooding governments with
secular ideologies, were seen as eroding Christian authority through cunning
financial ploys and whispered campaigns in elite salons. Operating through
esoteric rituals, chanting ancient oaths and candlelit chambers, and coded

(37:53):
communications etched in cryptic symbols. These orders preserved the templar's mission,
their dagger ready to thwart spies infiltrating their ranks. Their
vigilance ensured sacred treasures remained safe from those who would
exploit them to undermine the faith, their resolve as unyielding
as the stone fortresses guarding their secrets. The twentieth century

(38:17):
entwined the templar's legacy with electrifying conspiracy theories, from the
fabricated Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which fueled accusations
of Jewish plots to dominate global affairs, to gripping tales
of Vatican cover ups that set hearts racing. The two
thousand and one discovery of the Sinan Parchment, unveiling Pope

(38:39):
Clement the Fifth's thirteen oh eight absolution of the templars
confirmed their innocence, igniting speculation that the Vatican, possibly swayed
by Jewish factions, had buried templar truths for centuries to
protect its ecclesiastical power.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Figures like Timothy W.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Hogan, a modern templar scholar, claimed the orders still guarded
the bones of Jesus and Mary Magdalen, concealed in secret locations,
perhaps beneath ancient monasteries or hidden in mountain caves, to
shield the Church from theological upheaval over the Resurrection narrative.
Jewish intellectuals accused of infiltrating Vatican councils and academic circles,

(39:20):
were believed to pedal revisionist histories, their pens, rewriting chronicles
to diminish the Templar's role as Christendom's protectors. With blades
sharpened and codes unbroken, the Templars encoded their knowledge in
Masonic rites, intricate ceremonies with glowing pentagrams and veiled scrolls,
thwarting spies who crept through shadowed cloisters, insuring their sacred

(39:43):
mission endured against those seeking to unravel the faith's foundations. Today,
the Templar's crusade burns within secret societies, from free Masonic
lodges to esoteric orders like the Rosicrucians, all sworn to
safeguards Christianity from perceived Jewish subversion. Their relics, the Grails,

(40:05):
Divine Glow, and the Sacred bloodline, remain hidden in fortified vaults,
their locations known only to a select cadre of initiates,
their eyes scanning for threats in a silent war against
those who would erase Christ's legacy. These guardians accuse Jewish
elites of manipulating global media. And financial systems, flooding airwaves

(40:29):
with secular propaganda and rigging markets to suppress Christian truths,
perpetuating a centuries old conflict that crackles with tension. In
hidden chambers where templar inspired symbols, red crosses blazing on
ancient tapestries and starlet compasses carved in stone adorned sacred spaces,

(40:52):
they conduct rituals binding them to their cause, their voices
thundering defiance the Templar's saga from medieval nights charging into
battle to contemporary sentinels wielding cunning and resolve pulses with
unwavering devotion, their blades and secrets forever shielding Christendom's sacred

(41:12):
treasures from enemies they see as hell bent on dismantling
the faith's spiritual and historical core
