Knights Templar: A Classic Crime Syndicate and In-Group Model “The Knights Templar were one of the most successful Crime Syndicate operations in history. They really wrote the book. It was a dark organization, one of perverted faith, frightening methods and cunning strategies. It was well organized and well prepared, always scheming, always ready and dangerous, and-unlike anything seen before. The Knights Templar (KT) offer a classic study in secretive in-group behavior and egregore. The modern day Crime Syndicate no doubt has at least some roots with the KT and most certainly has adopted its model. The order was founded in 1119 by nine, older, related, (((French))) aristocrats to exploit the “war and conflict business,” centering initially around the Crusades. This cadre was steeped in Gnostic and Kabbalistic thinking. But first the nine founders headed for Jerusalem, where they were apparently tipped off and had leads about a massive gold treasure hidden beneath the site of Solomon’s Temple. This was buried there from the Roman-jewish Wars of 70 AD. In 1128, this archaeological band headed back to Europe, suddenly quite rich. Discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls in the 1950s confirmed that indeed a treasure was hidden under the Temple site. Flush with riches and endorsed by influential clergyman and the future St. Bernard of Clairvaux (in the same family as the founders), in 1129 the Knights engaged in one of the most successful recruiting and fundraising campaigns in history, mostly targeting made men who were already knights from noble families. They were effectively an elite special fighting force used in the Crusades. They received large swaths of land in Spain from the King of Aragon. • • • The Order then organized and acquired key locations and sites throughout Europe and the Holy Land to supply mafia-like racket protection to crusaders and pilgrims. Non-combatant members of the order, who formed as much as 90% of the order’s 15,000 to 20,000 members, managed a large international quasi-banking, economic and intelligence network of nearly 1,000 commanderies and fortifications. It is estimated they had nearly 10,000 dwellings and way-stations throughout Europe. They developed a defacto coded traveler’s checks that were as good in Paris or London as in Jerusalem. This expanded trade, of which they always seemed to get a cut. Their other scam and PR racket was to pose by the name “Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ.” With this trick, the Templars became a favored charity throughout Christendom, receiving money, land, businesses and noble-born sons from families eager to help with the fight in the Holy Land. A nobleman who was interested in participating in the Crusades might place all his assets under Templar management while he was away. Accordingly they became one of the world’s earliest large money managers, and generated very high returns for their ranks. Additionally, the Templars looted and carted off treasure for nearly two centuries. They ran a brisk business in fake “holy relics.” Like any self-respecting Crime Syndicate foundation, they secured tax exemption through bribery or compromising. They had a passport through all Christian lands. • • • They in turn acquired large tracts of land, both in Europe and the Middle East. They bought and managed farms and vineyards; built massive stone cathedrals and castles; were involved in manufacturing, import and export; had their own fleet of ships; and, at one point, even owned the entire island of Cyprus. As the Muslims regained the Holy Land, the Templars withdrew to Europe. Most headed for France; where, thanks to their privileged status, they continued to increase their power and wealth. In time, they became the “state within the state” in many European countries. The Templars were expert financiers, using trading techniques quite unknown in the Europe of their day. They had clearly learned many of these skills from jewish [many were jews] sources, but would have much more freedom to extend their financial empire. [hence the lies as usual]They had stashes of gold, which would have been useful to the Italian financiers of the day who they were connected with. The finances of the English and French monarchies were controlled and run by the Templars’ respective offices in Paris and London, and both the French and English royal families owed the Templars huge amounts of money. The kings of Europe were literally at their mercy, hoping to borrow money. Most royal households had come to depend on the order. This let them manipulate the kings and their national policies for their own purposes, including breeding wars, which enabled more looting opportunities. • • • Wars, which for the greater number of warriors of good faith proved a source of weariness, of losses and misfortunes, became for them (the Templars) an opportunity for booty and aggrandizement. Additionally, the Templars acquired knowledge in the arts of architecture and masonry and had gained expertise in building castles and Gothic cathedrals. With this knowledge, it was easy for the Templars to infiltrate and control the professional guilds of masons. They combined and allied with others, such as the Cistercian monks, who had skills in construction planning. When Innocent II was elected Pope with St. Bernard’s backing, he granted the Templars the right to build and run their own churches. The Masons identified themselves with the Templars to a great extent, and what is viewed as original Masonic esotericism (secrecy) can be said to be a fairly important inheritance from the Templars.” https://www.winterwatch.net/2024/02/knights-templar-a-classic-crime-syndicate-and-in-group-model/
