Freemasonry and Satanism: The History of Albert Pike

The “Pope” of the American masons, who founded the Ku Klux Klan, now has a monument in the USA!

By Fabio Carisio

“In conscience, and sincerely, I believe that the Masonic Order is, if not the greatest, one of the greatest moral and political evils that weighs on the whole Union.” – John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, Letters on Freemasonry, 1833

“Our battle is not against creatures of blood and flesh, but against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits who live in the celestial regions.” – Saint Paul, Letter to the Ephesians 6.12

Albert Pike, 33rd degree Mason of the
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite

If the most experienced in American history have certainly heard about the bloody deeds of the general Albert Pike, unfortunately few are aware of his fanatical obsession with Satanic occultism cultivated within the American Masonry, descendant of that of the Scottish Rite, and even they know less that he founded the Ku Klux Klan, and earned, instead of eternal infamy, a big statue in Washington.

This is because his exploits date back to a time when critically analyzing the activities of the so-called “free masons” was strictly forbidden, or discredited from a historical point of view, since the most fervent followers of the secret societies of various ritual obediences had been among the champions of the Risorgimento (the Unification of Italy), starting with the incensed international conspirator Giuseppe Mazzini, joined to Pike by Masonic brotherhood, mutual esteem and by projects for the creation of occultist and elitist Masonic lodges aimed at spreading the suprematist ideal of a New World Order.

Today, fortunately, there is an increasing number of scholars of historiography who are implementing a meticulous revisionism of the last three centuries, noting the fundamental and devastating role played by Freemasonry in the revolutions and wars of Europe, making it is easier to reread events of the past with transparency and decrypt the plots that like cobwebs have harnessed countless areas of social life in a repeated international connection that will lead us to reconstruct the atrocious crimes of Freemasonry.

Albert Pike, the “Pope” of the American Masonry

Albert Pike has been called “the Pope of American Freemasonry” and has gone down in history as well as for the sharing of Mazzinian ideals, and for his Satanic veneration. “Born in 1809 in Boston, he became one of the most famous lawyers in the South. With almost superhuman intellectual faculties, he spoke and wrote 16 languages. Entered Freemasonry in 1850, in 1859 he became Grand Master of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (which we will call RSSA for brevity), namely the supreme head of American Freemasonry” writes Estonian scholar Juri Lina on page 196 of his book Architects of deception: the occult history of Freemasonry.
Lina dedicated a life to deepening international plots and because of his clear opposition to Communism in 1979, he was exiled from his country.

Even other scholars of American history agree that Pike, after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, through his Masonic hegemony, was among those who directed the insurrection of the South that led to the bloody US Secession War (1860 -1865). A few years earlier, in 1854, one of his close collaborators, Judah Benjamin, formed the Knights of the Golden Circle. Their first operations consisted of the paramilitary training of terrorists throughout Central America, with the aim of provoking a war between the United States and Spain, which ruled that area. Note the curious coincidence that they acted in the South American countries a few years after the guerilla actions carried out there by the Italian Mason Giuseppe Garibaldi before his return to Italy.

The experienced writer Lina analyzes Pike’s fast growing military and Masonic career in detail, and characterizes his inhuman cruelty: “During the Civil War, Pike was a brigadier general of the Southern troops and commanded an army made up of Indians of eight tribes. At his command, these troops committed massacres of such cruelty and ferocity that England even threatened to intervene ‘for humanitarian reasons’. Even Southern President Jefferson Davis, then, was forced to take action against Albert Pike and ordered him to disperse the Indian army. After the war, for his heinous crimes and his massacres, Pike was found guilty of treason by a Martial Court and imprisoned. But in the meantime the general had made his triumphal entry among the Freemasons. According to the Dictionnaire de la Franc-Maçonnerie, Pike was co-opted by the 33rd degree of the American RSSA Albert Gallatin Mackey, secretary of the Supreme Council of Charleston, who persuaded Pike to join the Order, where he later became Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite (Supreme Council, Southern jurisdiction) from 1859 to his death”. Therefore, as often happened to the masonry affiliates, he obtained impunity by virtue of an important “brotherhood”: “The American president Andrew Johnson, Albert Pike’s subordinated Freemason, on April 22, 1866, graciously pardoned him, while the American press kept, for a good nine months, a total silence on this news”, adds Juri Lina.

“The assassination of his predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, of whom he had been deputy in the Union precisely during the years of the American Secession War, undoubtedly had a great influence on Johnson’s decision, ending on the side of the conspirators. Pike obtained the pardon even though the previous year had given further proof of his slavery and racist fanaticism: in December, in fact, after the victory of the Northern Union in the secessionist conflict, General Pike, together with General John J. Morgan and with a small group of Southern officials, in Pulaski, Tennessee, transformed the aforementioned Knights of the Golden Circle into the bloody xenophobes of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), (from the Greek word kuklox meaning ‘circle’).”
“Albert Pike, called ‘the 19th century Devil’, was obsessed with the idea of world supremacy. When he became a Mason of the 33rd degree, and head of the Illuminati of Arkansas, he devised a plan to take control of the world through three world wars and a number of great revolutions”, concludes Juri Lina.

From The Black Masses to World Wars

In her work Occult Theocracy, Lady Queenborough, literary name of Edith Starr Miller, highlights the role of the Ku Klux Klan founder in America and her relationship with English Mason Longfellow, in 1947, and his friend Moses Holbrook, then Sovereign Grand Commander of Charleston. “Longfellow and Holbrook, in the course of their exchange of impressions of the Cabal, had planned to create a Satanic rite in which the adepts would be instructed in Black Magic, but Holbrook, the Grand Master of the Supreme Council of Charleston, who had already composed a suitable ritual and a sacrilegious mass called Adonaicide Mass (mass that kills Adonai, the God of Christians) died, delaying the full implementation of the project.”

The Correspondence between Pike and Mazzini

Giuseppe Mazzini

To confirm this thesis, comes the secret correspondence between the RSSA Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) and a member of the International Revolutionary Committee of London, an organization placed under the direction of another high-ranking Mason, the British Prime Minister Henry John Temple, Third Viscount Palmerston (1784-1865), who linked his name to the English imperial politics of the time, from the opium war to the sulfur quarrel with the Bourbons which gave rise to the enmity that justified the English financing of the Expedition of the Thousand and the Unity of Italy, designed by the Mazzinian movements Young Italy and Young Europe.

Two letters are of great importance: the one that Mazzini sent to Pike on 22 of January 1870 and that of Pike to Mazzini dated 15 of August 1871. More historians agree that this correspondence is preserved in the secret archives of Temple House, the site of the Scottish Rite in Washington, but consultation is prohibited. The letter from the Southern General, written on August 15, 1871, was exposed in the past only once, to the British Museum Library in London. There, a Canadian naval officer, Commodore William Guy Carr (present as a consultant for the United States at the San Francisco Conference of June 26, 1945) took vision by writing down various notes that allowed him to publish a summary in the book Pawns in the Game.

The Royal Canadian Navy soldier was in fact a fervent Catholic scholar of secret societies and satanic occultism. The document seems prophetic enough to advocate the “crisis-war-revolution” project, which devastated the 20th century. Here is an eloquent paragraph written by Carr after reading the letter: “The First World War had to be fought to allow the Illuminati to break down the power of the tsars in Russia and transform this country into the fortress of atheistic communism. The differences raised by the Illuminati agents between the British Empire and the German Empire were used to foment this war. After the war ended, communism had to be built and used to destroy other governments and weaken religions”.

The contents of Mazzini’s letter of January 22, 1970, according to the aforementioned scholar Lady Queensborough, are just as disturbing: “We must create a superior Rite that will remain unknown, to which those Masons of the High Degree we will choose will belong. With regard to our Brothers in Freemasonry, these men will have to commit themselves to the strictest secrecy. Through this supreme rite we will govern every Freemasonry, and it will become the only international center, the most powerful because its direction will be unknown”.

The Doctrine of Lucifer and the Palladism

Pike, according to the reconstruction made by Commodore Carr in his book, answers to Mazzini on 15 of August 1871, announcing that at the end of the world wars (he hypothesized three) those who aspire to the World Government will cause devastation never seen before: “We will unleash the nihilists and atheists and we will provoke a formidable social cataclysm that will clearly show, in all its horror, to the nations, the effect of absolute atheism, the origin of barbarism and bloody subversion. Then everywhere the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against a world minority of revolutionaries, these destroyers of civilization, and the multitude disillusioned by Christianity, whose worshipers will from that moment be without orientation in search of an ideal, no longer knowing where to direct the worship.”

It is believed that precisely from these words and intentions was born that very secret lodge reserved for adepts of occultism called Palladism. To explain this concept, another book written by an author under a pseudonym, but no less documented, Freemasonry and the Secret Seven: the occult face of history by Epiphanius, Editrice Ichthys states: “Palladism, defined by the Larousse Encyclopedia as ‘cult of Satan Lucifer, that is to say of Satan considered as the Angel of Light, the human and beneficial god’, was a secret theurgical society, unknown to the Masons even of high degree, and therefore composed only of emeritus ones”.

Preferably, the Kadosh Knights, the 30th degree of the Scottish Rite, or equivalent degrees of the Egyptian rite of Memphis-Misraim were admitted; the name accepted by the Palladian rite was that of “Re-Teurgisti Ottimati”, while the lodges were called “Triangoli”. The Palladian hierarchy had three degrees: Palladic Kadosh, Palladic Hierarch and Elected Magician. Palladism was placed above the Supreme Councils formed by the exponents of the 33rd degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and from these positions descended to the lower grades by successive infiltrations. The origin of the New and Reformed Palladian Rite were Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini.

The “Pope” of Freemasonry, vicious and obese enough to exceed 140 kilos in weight, was also considered a lover of orgiastic “Sabbaths” consumed in the woods with a great deal of alcohol and various women, such wild forums as to recall the Dionysian rites narrated by Euripides in the Bacchae. I consider it superfluous to mention the innumerable crimes and atrocities committed by the Ku Klux Klan hoodcutters that highlight the fact that Satanist cult of slaver, racist and cultured Mason Pike was pragmatic and delirious diabolical fanaticism, which shockingly had the esteem of many intellectuals and powerful people of his time. Instead, in America, the only “winner” among the Southern losers, he has even won the public celebration by having his own statue in the capital of the USA.
