Some of the techniques that they use in this psychic dictator ship are words, symbols, colors, rhythms, light, movement, and mudras which have been used for aeons as means of spiritual ization, used by cults, infused with mysticism, are now being used on us. —Michael Tsarion

hen contemplating Bush’s “angel in the whirlwind” inaugural references and how this was used to set the stage in the American psyche for allegorical cosmic conflict between the forces of good versus evil— the good United States against the evil spirit of Babylon— I recalled how, in 1992, former MI6 British intelligence officer, Dr. John Coleman, wrote a book tided The Committee of300, in which he claimed inside knowledge concerning world manipulation by an occult Illuminati elite. According to Coleman, the angel in thewhirlwind, or “Moriah Conquering Wind,” is actually one of the names the society members signal each other by. He states:
Included in the membership are the old families of the European Black Nobility, the American Eastern Liberal Establishment (in Freemason hierarchy and the Order of Skull and Bone), the Illuminati, or, as it is known by the Committee, “MORIAH CONQUERING W IND”.... In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled “new” society—only it isn’t new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a one world government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “TH E OPEN CONSPIRACY— PLANS FO R A WORLD REVOLUTION.”55
Dr. Coleman went on to warn about the devotion that the occult oligarchists have toward implementing a one-world order through emerging uniformed codes and laws by which every body on the planet will be enslaved to the desires of the ruling elite. The connection between Freemasonry, Skull and Bones (in which George W. Bush is also a member), and the knowledge that “Moriah Conquering Wind” is a tide by which the occult insiders identify themselves, is notable. “Moriah” is an ancient term, and its connection to “divine wind” as a vehicle for God and angelic war is important to Jewish apocalyptic and mystical literature, as
well as to mainstream religious and esoteric-minded peoples for different reasons.
On the surface, Moriah is the sacred mountain on which Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, Isaac, before the angel of God called out of the sky and stopped him. Moriah is also the location of the original Temple Mount in Jerusalem, according to some scholars. The Foundation Stone at the heart of the Dome of the Rock in modern Jerusalem is believed to mark the exact location of Araunah’s threshing floor “in mount Moriah” over which the temple of Solomon was built (see 2 Chronicles 3:1). In addition to the significance of the geography, the role that Mt. Moriah (Hebrew: Mowriyah, “chosen by Yahweh”) plays in “illuminated” mysticism, the relationship between God and man, heaven and earth, and angelology is deeper than most comprehend. Both the physical location of Moriah as the Temple Mount and the associated spiritual concepts of angelic intervention are central to hidden doctrines among the occult hierarchy that will become frighteningly clearer to readers as they move through this book.
In related midrashic discussions of the Abraham/Isaac narra tive, the perspective is changed from the Genesis account on Mt. Moriah to heaven, where God watches and ultimately signals the angel to stop the sacrifice of Isaac. The pseudepigraphal Book o f Jubilees is used in such renderings, as the story from Jubilees offers the account from the angel’s viewpoint, in the language of the first person from heaven. Similar information about the angel who spoke to Abraham is included in the Zohar, Kabballa, Babylonian Talmud, and the Pseudepigrapha, as well as classic texts by some members of Christianity and Islam who ultimately identify him as “Metatron,” the most powerful of all angels, according to these
noncanonical works. For illuminatists, the third book of Enoch is among the most important of the mystical literature, as it offers the genesis of Metatron by claiming that Enoch himself is the one who ascends into heaven to be transformed into Metatron.
An extract from 3 Enoch reads:
This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eyelashes to flashes of lightning, his eyeballs to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly trans formation the name Metatron.56
As Metatron, Enoch becomes the “angel in the whirlwind” and master over other angels of wind and whirlwind (including Ruhiel, Ra’miel, and Ra’shiel, et al).
Sparks emanated from him, and storms, whirlwind, and thunder encircled his form. The angels dressed him in magnificent garments, including a crown, and arranged his throne. A heavenly herald proclaimed that from then on his name would no longer be Enoch, but Metatron, and that all angels must obey him, as second only to God.57 Because Enoch as Metatron can control all other angels— good and evil— he is thus “a critical figure in Masonry as well as being heavily identified with ritual magic and Qabala [Kabbalah] through his association with— or rather transformation into— Metatron,” writes Mark Stavish in his book, Freemasonry: Rituals, Symbols and History o f the Secret Society.™ Invoking the “angel in
the whirlwind” thus calls upon Metatron (according to belief of the mystical orders) to involve himself as this persona on behalf of the petitioners.
The extra-biblical legend concerning Enochs transforma tion into Metatron and the angel’s connection with the test of Abraham and Isaac on Mt. Moriah are also deeply encoded within several of the occultist’s rituals. In some instances, the formalities combine elements of the Moriah story with other mythologies for the express purpose of aligning the exalted members o f the society with the forces behind the conquering wind. Thanks to radio host Alex Jones, the public has seen one such ritual on film. A few years ago, Jones and a British filmmaker slipped into the Bohemian Grove thirty miles west of Santa Rosa, California, where they recorded what is now known as the “Cremation of Care” cer emony. What Jones caught on camera is like something out of a Stanley Kubrick film. Hooded figures of some of the world’s wealthiest, most powerful men, including acting and former U.S. presidents such as George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and other participants gathered beneath a forty-foot-tall stone owl surrounded by water. A child (or effigy) dubbed “Dull Care” was delivered by a ferryman on a small boat and placed on the altar before the owl, where it was burned as an offering for the purpose of magically alleviating the cares and con cerns of those elitists making the sacrifice. Before Jones captured this astonishing ritual on film, American citizens were not even aware that such occultism is carried out under the cover of dark ness by the world’s most powerful and respected leaders. Does this not cause reasonable people to question what other sorcery is occurring behind the veil?
On his website, Jones says: “This is like something out of a Hollywood movie, where teenagers are out camping in the wilder ness and come over a hill and witness some devil cult in black and red garb sacrificing some poor soul on a bloody altar.” Jones has written about the similarity between the “Cremation of Care” rite and the ancient Canaanite worship of the owl god Molech, where children were sacrificed for nearly identical reasons. Scholars have debated whether the child sacrifices made to Molech were burned alive, or were slain elsewhere and then drained of blood and offered as food to the deity. If the former, a comparison is made between Molech and Kronos, from whose brazen arms children were rolled alive into an oven of fire. Like the Bohemian ritual, the ancient Baals Molech and Kronos were usually called upon to relieve the ones making the sacrifice of their earthly cares, and people who sought material prosperity believed their lives could be improved by offering the child as a sacrifice to the deity.
recorded the dastardly process of sacrificing infants in “Cremations of Care” to Kronos:
Out of reverence for Kronos, the Phoenicians, and espe cially the Carthaginians, whenever they seek to obtain some great favor, vow one of their children, burning it as a sacrifice to the deity, if they are especially eager to gain success. There stands in their midst a bronze statue of Kronos, its hands extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of which engulf the child. When the flames fall on the body, the limbs contract and the open mouth seems almost to be laughing [such areas of child sacrifice were often called “the place of laughing”], until the contracted body slips quietly into the brazier.59
The sacrifice of children in this way was widespread in antiq uity and was practiced by the children of Israel under the reign of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. A recent archeological find illus trated how far-reaching such offerings were when it unearthed the remains of more than twenty thousand infants who had been sacrificed to a single Baal.
For some, a better candidate than Molech for the deity rep resented at Bohemian Grove is the Mesopotamian storm demon Lilith, whose giant, horned statues once formed the highest com petition to Yahweh. In Hebrew folklore, Lilith is “the dark wind of the storm” who takes the form of an owl (still worshipped in modern Beltane/Mayday rituals) and, among other things, over shadows the sacrifice of children. She is a powerful seductress who, before Eve’s creation, was Adam’s wife and lover, according to myth. The “Cremation of Care” ceremony conducted by U.S.
presidents and other elitists for her (or Molech) at Bohemian Grove is evidently especially seductive, given that metaphysicians among them believe the biblical version o f Abrahams test on Moriah was sanitized by Moses in the Genesis account in an attempt to cover up the actual practice of human sacrifice among ancient Hebrews. Perhaps at places like Bohemian Grove they see magic in a “cor rected” version of the story—a heretical retelling—where Isaac is extinguished beneath the dark-winged one who rides in the whirlwind and heals her power-hungry and seduced worshippers of their cares. Some claim the same occultists even hid the image of the owl in the Masonically designed U.S. dollar bill for very important and related magical reasons.
Whether Molech or Lilith is the deity represented in the annual Bohemian rituals, a greater legend involving the appropri ate semiotic figures— Enoch, Moriah, Metatron, Shekinah, and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem— is captured in higher occult representation pointing directly to the reasoning behind recent changes to U.S. foreign and domestic policy, hidden doctrine of the supranational power elite, and their aspiration for a final earthly kingdom and New World Order ruled by “the one” who has reached apotheosis— the status o f a god.
Enter Enoch’s Antediluvian Pillars
An important narrative is told from Masonic legend based partly on Talmudist and other traditions including Josephus (indirectly in the first book of Antiquities) wherein Enoch, here considered a father of Freemasonry and before he is translated into Metatron, is visited by his female counterpart— the Shekinah of God— and is given a vision of the end of the world. Because of his devo
tion to God, Enoch constructs nine hidden vaults underground at Mt. Moriah. The vaults are perpendicular, one atop the other, in which he deposits the most important ancient knowledge. In the deepest vault (the ninth), he places a triangular plate of gold, mea suring a cubit long on each side, bearing the secret and ineffable name of God. When the vaults of knowledge are complete, Enoch covers them over with soil and erects two pillars on the site— one on which he inscribes the history, arts and sciences, and “doctrines of Speculative Masonry” according to Masonic historian Albert Mackey, and one on which he places hieroglyphic information pointing to the precious treasure in the vaults nearby. The pillars are nearly destroyed in the Great Flood and the vaults lost until the building of Solomons temple.
Maverick Freemason writers Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, in their book, The Second Messiah: Templars, the Turin Shroud, and the Great Secret o f Freemasonry, admit that the leg end of Enochs pillars, as well as the Solomon pillars constructed afterward, are very much a “peshef of Masonic rituals. The term “pesher ’ is a Hebrew word discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls that implies that double meanings or “ciphers” occupy certain ancient texts. Thus, “surface interpretation” of particular writings is for common persons of general mental capacity, while deeper con cealed truths lay hidden for the initiated persons of higher degree. Knight and Lomas connect this with the legend of Enoch and the illuminated Masonic rites:
The 13th degree [of the Ancient Scottish Rite of Freemasonry] is “The Royal Arch of Enoch” or “The Master of the Ninth Arch” and it is set at the time of the building of Solomons Temple three thousand years ago.
It is very much a “pesher” of the Holy Royal Arch Degree, which is the story of the Knights Templar removing a keystone in the ruins of Herod’s Temple and lowering themselves down into a subterranean vault that contains an ancient scroll.
The degree tells how, in times long before Moses and Abraham, the ancient figure of Enoch foresees that the world will be overwhelmed by an apocalyptic disaster through flood or fire, and he determines to preserve at least some of the knowledge then known to man, that it may be passed on to future civilizations of survivors. He therefore engraves in hieroglyphics the great secrets o f sci ence and building onto two pillars: one made of brick and the other of stone.
The Masonic legend goes on to tell how these pillars were almost destroyed, but sections survived the Flood and were subsequently discovered— one by the Jews, the other by the Egyptians— so that civilization could be rebuilt from the secrets that had been engraved on to them. Fragments of one pillar were found by workmen during the excavations for the foundations of King Solomon’s Temple. Whilst preparing the site in Jerusalem three thou sand years ago the top of a vault or arch was uncovered, and one of the Masons was lowered into the vault where he found relics of the great pillar of knowledge....
The next degree, “Scotch Knight of Perfection,” is set in a room which has at its centre the reassembled fragments of Enoch’s pillar, inscribed with hieroglyph ics. It is claimed that King Solomon created a “Lodge of Perfection” to rule over the thirteen lower degrees, and
its members held their first secret meeting in the sacred vault of Enoch beneath the partly constructed Temple of Solomon.60
Consequently in Masonic mysticism, Enoch/Metatron is not only controller of “divine wind,” but key to the secrets of illu mination. Rituals within Freemasonry related to this legend of Enoch on Moriah, his preservation of the arts and sciences in the underground repositories, and the rediscovery of such during the building of the temple of Solomon are twofold: those based on Enoch’s hidden vaults, including the two pillars representing secret knowledge from antiquity, and those based on the pillars in the temple of Solomon representing the passageway that initi ates must move through en route to the guarded knowledge. The rituals based on these legends are separated for the primitive and higher degrees, with those related to the Enochian pillars being “preserved exclusively to the higher and more modern degrees” of the Craft, while the “only pillars that are alluded to in the primitive degrees are those of Solomon’s temple,” according to MacKey and Singleton.61 In Morals and Dogma, the late Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Albert Pike adds that Enoch’s name in Hebrew signifies “initiate” or “initiator,” and hence the columns o f knowledge erected by him and those of the temple of Solomon parodied in the Craft and rituals (including the Royal Arch Degree) are symbolic of the Mason’s procession from uninitiated to illumined. When a person joins the Order, he passes between the twin columns during initiation, beyond which awaits the mysteries “of which Masonry is the.. .custodian and depository of the great philosophical and religious truths, unknown to the world at large, and handed down from age to
age by an unbroken current of tradition, embodied in symbols, emblems, and allegories.”62
Freemason writers have acknowledged that the two pil lars erected at the great temple of Jerusalem are mirrored in the Masonic lodges as sentinels to the entrance “of the inner sanc tum, where the Ark and the Divine Shekina resided.” The pillars in the Masonic lodges thus represent a portal the initiate passes through during his admission into Freemasonry toward the eso teric knowledge represented by and beyond the pillars, available only to those who traverse this threshold and participate in the mysteries of the Brotherhood.
While the original scriptural symbolism (see 1 Kings 7:21) of the pillars in the porch of Solomon’s temple suggest by their titles the sustaining power of God (Jachin—the right pillar, meaning “he will establish,” and Boaz—the left pillar, meaning “strength”), the symbolic passage between the pillars in the Masonic lodge establishes, among other things, the goal of passing through the “guardians and gates” in order to reach the presence of the Great Architect of the Universe and the inner sanctum or sanctum sanctorum, where “the Ark and the Divine Shekina in Masonic spiritualism hold high occult understanding. Passing through and beyond “twin pillars” is also necessary in occult magical tradi tion to advance from one epoch to another, as in order to reach the Masonic/Rosicrucian “New Atlantis,” which Francis Bacon depicted as lying just beyond the twin pillars of Hercules.
