The Secret Founding of America
The Secret Founding of America, by Nicholas
Hagger, was published in 2007. It is one of the
first "mainstream" books to deal with the Freemasons
and the Illuminati and their role in the founding of
America.

The author is an
academic historian who has written over twenty books
on history, literature and philosophy. He has
written for the Times of London. The hardback
edition, which appears to have been targeted toward
a mainstream audience, is
well worth reading. The publishers saw to it that the book was
released in time for the 400th anniversary of the
Jamestown Landings.
Among the
controversial
authors mentioned by Hagger, in his
sources section, are Baigent,
Leigh and Lincoln (Holy Blood, Holy Grail),
Nesta Webster (Secret Societies and Subversive
Movements), Lady Queensborough (Occult
Theocracy), Carroll Quigley (Tragedy and Hope),
Stephen Knight (The Brotherhood), and Ralph
Epperson (The Unseen Hand). |
In a
previous work entitled The Syndicate (2004)
Hagger references other notable authors and
researchers, such as G. Edward Griffin.
We believe that this
type of book, which delves into secret societies,
and which is written by a academic, is among the first of many to come. So-called
"conspiratorial" subjects are becoming popular and
more and more people are asking vexatious and
penetrating questions about history and about where
mankind is heading. Humanity's skepticism is
increasing and people are clearly not as content as
they once were just going along
believing what they have been told about history and the world
from conventional sources.
This turning of the tide
has not gone unnoticed by the powers that be. In the
past the establishment moved to silence authors and
suppress literature that exposed the dirty big
secrets of religion and politics. To a certain
extent such suppression still goes on. However, the
establishment has begun to use another tactic. It
has begun, ever so gradually, to
co-opt overtly controversial subject matter. The new tactic has
been adopted because the power-brokers have finally
realized that they cannot wholly suppress truth. Lately, they appear to have decided to
present controversial information in a sanitized
form by way of writers under their control and from
inside institutions of their making. The work of
these authors poses no major threat
whatsoever. Their sanitized ideas concerning the
evils of the status quo can safely be presented to the masses. This strategy is effective. It ensures
that real teachers remain suppressed or in the
background. It is their hard-earned information
that is craftily taken and artfully packaged and
presented before the world by the mainstream
publishers and media oracles. The men who sweated
for that information, who died poor, whose lives
were endangered, and whose reputations were wrecked,
remain largely unknown while the affluent and
compliant academics, possibly hand-picked for the
job and made to appear edgy and controversial,
are promoted. They succeed and enjoy the media limelight.
It
is sad that so many great works on par with or
superior to The Secret Founding of America
are out of print or hard to find. It is sad that
Americans may live out their lives without knowing
the names of the great literary patriots who labored
so hard against unimaginable odds to get the message
out about the dangers of Zionism and Fascism, and
about subjects such as Freemasonry and the "New
World Order" of the secret societies, who now own and
control the United States of America.
In light of this
dearth of information, we
recommend both of Nicholas Hagger's excellent books - The Secret
Founding of America and The Syndicate. We support and reference any book,
movie, or documentary that succeeds in getting over
to people the truth about their religious, political
and financial institutions, and about the camera-shy
personalities working behind the scenes of world
affairs. Hagger expresses in a clear and concise manner
how Freemasonry and Templarism insinuated itself
into American political and social life. His book contains
information that reinforces our long held belief
concerning the complicity of Benjamin Franklin. Hagger shows that this "Father" of America was
indeed, as we have always advocated, a stooge of the
Illuminati. And for that revelation alone we are
thankful that this book is in circulation. We
provide here some of the most important passages
from this interesting and recommended book:
Spain on the Scene
Florida was first visited by Spain during
Columbus' second voyage in 1493...Spain was now
in competition for America: John Cabot had
claimed North America for England in 1497 and
1498, and Amerigo Vespucci had discovered South
America and claimed it for Spain in 1499 -
p. 63
St. Augustine was the northernmost outpost of
the Spanish colonial empire for 256 years,
between 1763 and 1783, when it belonged to
England. The Floridans became Spanish once more
from 1783 until 1823, when Florida became
American under Andrew Jackson. So the Spanish
Catholics can claim to be the first planters in
America 42 years before the 1607 Jamestown
settlement - p. 78
The Virginia Company
James I declared in the incorporation of the
Virginia Company in November 1606 that it would
bring glory in propagating "Christian religion
to such people, as yet live in darkness and
miserable ignorance of true knowledge and
worship of God." He directed that the Virginia
Company's President and Council should ensure
that the "true Word and Service of God...be
preached, planted and used according to the
rites and doctrines of the Church of England" -
p. 33
In 1606 the
Virginia Company of Plymouth had received a
charter from James I for colonizing the northern
coast of Virginia from 38 degrees to 45 degrees
latitude north, father north than the Virginia
Company of London's territory. At the end of May
it sent two ships to New England - the "Gift of
God" under Captain George Popham and the "Mary
and John" under Captain Raleigh Gilbert - p.
39
The company's work was carried out at high cost
with little return - no gold was found - during
the years before tobacco plantations and the
slave trade began. In fact, this work might have
been a causative factor in setting a trend of
slave-owning in the American South. The company
set the pattern of Southern landowning, slavery
and exploiting native Americans - p. 61
By the end of
the 1620s, when the population of Virginia was
2,500, most of the settlers' energy was going
into the export of tobacco. Tobacco planters
imported slaves from Africa, who were under the
direct control of their masters. The Elizabethan
landed values introduced by the 1607 planters
had a new form, as feudal serfs called slaves
were now tied to the land. By the 1660s the
number of slaves began to rise and by 1670 the
population of Virginia had climbed to 35,309. A
'slave-holders' Christianity grew up, and a
'slave-holding' religion that had nothing to do
with the Christianity of Christ - p. 61
Robert Cecil
...in
mid-December 1606, the First Virginia Company,
which was dominated by Robert Cecil, the
principal patron of the London Virginia Company
and prime mover of the establishment of the
Virginia Company, whose a pro-God man,
Christopher Newport, to be admiral - p. 35
Freemasonry in
Early America
From the
very early planting days Freemasonry spreading
throughout the New World like a rampant strain
of a new virus, presented itself as a method by
which union could be achieved...Its network of
secret societies afforded hierarchies in which
all could rise, find a place, participate in
rituals that drew on the earlier cultures, meet
influential Masons socially and express ideas
behind closed doors, a useful context of
confidentiality in which all who questioned
British colonial rule could operate without fear
of being betrayed to the colonial authorities.
Freemasonry came to have an enormous hold over
early America - p. 84
Francis Bacon
It has been claimed that Freemasonry is very
ancient and goes back variously to the
fifteenth-century BC Egypt of Tuthmose III, to
the tenth-century BC Israel of the wise ruler
Solomon and, more recently, to the medieval
stonemasons and cathedral builders in York in
926 and Cologne in the twelfth century. Be that
as it may, it is often held that English
Freemasonry was founded by Francis Bacon who, in
1579, when he was 18, saw the need for studies
to be secret among 'sworn brothers-in-arms' -
p. 85
Anthony Bacon
It is hard to believe that the 18-year-old
Bacon just made Freemasonry up without being
influenced by any preceding model. Manly Palmer
Hall claims that he was initiated into a secret
society in Navarre in France. His brother
Anthony ran an intelligence service for the Earl
of Essex there and was friendly with...the
Protestant King of Navarre, the future Henry IV,
King of France. Bacon lived in Paris with Sir
Amias Paulet, the English ambassador to France,
and acquired a knowledge of the French court -
p. 85
-
Let us
remember that France was the headquarters of
the Knights Templar before they moved into
England after the conquest of William I. Let
us also remember that the elite families of
the Templars and the Cistercians were
tutored by Culdean monks from Ireland. (For
more information on this, see The Irish
Origins of Civilization, Vols. 1 and 2).
Bacon and the other dignitaries mentioned
throughout Hagger's book, served Masonry and
Templarism regardless of whether they were
nationally English, Spanish, French, or
American. This fact is not pointed out by
Hagger. It is however the key thing to
remember. The country of birth, like the
professed religion apparently followed, are
superfluous behind the lodge doors. They
were then, and are now, merely social
camouflage.
Bacon, Dr. Dee, and
America
...Bacon threw his group's weight behind the
English plans to colonize America. He looked
back to John Dee, the Renaissance mage who had
encourages voyage to America in the belief that
a Utopian commonwealth could be established in
the New World - p. 89
Bacon's "New
Atlantis"
"New Atlantis" was about Utopia in the New
World. It concealed the Secret Doctrine to
create a New World and democracy within its
Utopianism, and was a Masonic blueprint for
America...Bacon suggests that England could
become an Israelite England...Rosicrucian
Freemasonry may have established itself in
America in 1635 when missing works by Bacon were
reputedly taken to Jamestown. These may have
included the sequel to "New Atlantis" Bacon is
thought to have written. This is believed to
have included a timetable for fulfilling the
Masonic plan for America - p. 95
Puritanism and
Rosicrucianism
Puritanism, especially Dutch Puritanism, was
strongly linked to Rosicrucianism. For example,
John Wilkins, Frederick V's chaplain, was
closely linked to Rosicrucianism in the
Palatinate and tutored Frederick and Elizabeth's
son when he was sent to England. Wilkins
co-founded the Royal Society when the Invisible
College met in his rooms at Wadham College,
Oxford, from 1648 to 1659, and he had a deep
connection with Puritanism. Samuel Hartlib...was
the link between Andreae and Oliver Cromwell,
and was the central figure of an invisible
reforming group to England...Cromwell himself
frequented a Rosicrucian Masonic Lodge called
(bizarrely) Crown. He could only have gained
admission if he was a Rosicrucian Freemason -
p. 96
Early Freemasonry in America
English Freemasonry became formalized in
America in the 1720s, the first decade in which
there are reports of American based lodges...In
1733 Rosicrucian Freemasonry formally entered
American when St. John's Lodge was established
in Boston. It became the Masonic capital of
Britain's American colonies - p. 97
Benjamin Franklin and the New World Order
...Rosicrucian Freemasonry affected the
founding of America through the Founding Fathers
of the eighteenth century. Benjamin Franklin, a
Boston boy who moved to Philadelphia, was set up
in business by the Royal Governor of what was
now a Crown colony, Sir William Keith, in
1724...In February 1731 Franklin became a
Rosicrucian Mason and in 1734 Provincial Grand
Master of Pennsylvania. He worked for
Freemasonry's one-world agenda - p. 98
In 1753
Franklin had become Deputy Postmaster General
for the colonies, which meant he had access to
all letters and communications and was in effect
a spymaster. In 1756 he was admitted to the
Rosicrucian Royal Society for discovering that
lightning was electricity. In 1757 he went to
London to represent Pennsylvania in a
dispute...and he spent until 1762 in England and
France. He was initiated as a Rosicrucian in
London during his stay there. He was again in
England from 1764 to 1775 and discovered
Baconian English Freemasonry's Secret Doctrine
to create a New World or 'philosophical
Atlantis' in America, the Masonic blueprint that
Bacon had concealed in his "New Atlantis" -
p. 98
Franklin and
the Great Seal of the United States
Franklin convinced Jefferson and Adams that
they should use a Masonic seal that had come
into his possession - which is now the Great
Seal of the United States. Freemasonry was
therefore behind the independence movement and
devised a concept of independence and the
structure that would follow independence -
p. 99
