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
