Secret Society Quotes – Insightful Reflections

"Today there's more fellowship among snakes than among mankind. Wild beasts spare those with similar markings."

Juvenal

"Beneath the broad tides of human history there flow the stealthy undercurrents of the secret societies, which frequently determine in the depth the changes that take place upon the surface."

Arthur Edward Waite

"There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see."

Leonardo da Vinci

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

David Rockefeller

"In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself."

Albert Einstein

"Our society is run by mad men, for crazy targets. I think we are driven by mad men, to a mad end, And I think I am imprisoned as a madman because I say that. That is what's insane about it."

John Lennon

"There are two histories: the official history, the false one that is taught, the history ‘ad usum delphini’; and then the secret history, which reveals the true causes of events, a shameful history."

Honoré de Balzac

"My history of the Jesuits is not eloquently written, but it is supported by unquestionable authorities,(and) is very particular and very horrible. Their (the Jesuit Order’s) restoration (in 1814 by Pope Pius VII) is indeed a step toward darkness, cruelty, despotism,(and) death. I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of (Ignatius de) Loyola."

John Adams

"It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated MOST of the wars of Europe."

Marquis de LaFayette

"The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the starting of the two world wars – a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict."

Edmond Paris

"The war [i.e., the American Civil War of 1861-1865] would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits."

Abraham Lincoln

"The Jesuits…are a secret society – a sort of Masonic order – with superadded features of revolting odiousness, and a thousand times more dangerous."

Samuel Morse

"[The Jesuits] are the deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty. [The Jesuit General] occupies the place of God, and must be obeyed, howsoever the peace and welfare of the multitude may be imperiled, or the nations be convulsed from center to circumference. The society of Jesuits must obtain the mastery, even if general anarchy shall prevail, or all the world besides be covered with the fragments of a universal wreck!

R. W. Thompson (Ex-Secretary, American Navy)"

R. W. Thompson

"The Jesuits…are simply the Romish army for the earthly sovereignty of the world in the future, with the Pontiff of Rome for emperor…that’s their ideal. …It is simple lust of power, of filthy earthly gain, of domination – something like a universal serfdom with them [i.e., the Jesuits] as masters – that’s all they stand for. They don’t even believe in God perhaps."

Fjodor Dostojewski

"The Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] is the enemy of man. The whole human race should unite for its overthrow. …For there is no alternative between its total extirpation, and the absolute corruption and degradation of mankind."

Robert Jefferson Breckinridge

"If you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Superior General of the Jesuit Order] are one and the same person."

James Parton

"…The Roman Inquisition…had been administered since 1542 by the Jesuits."

Frederick Tupper Saussy

"In Roman Catholic circles it is well known that the Black Pope is the term used for the [Superior] General of the Jesuits. As the Pope is always robed in white, and the [Jesuit Superior] General in black, the contrast is obvious. But those Romanists who do not greatly love the Jesuits, and their number is not limited, use the term as indicating that the Black Pope rules the White Pope…even while the former [i.e., the Black Pope] is obligated to make, at least, a show of submission to the latter."

Margaret Anna Cusack
