The Black Queen of England

One of Prince Harry’s revelations in his book “Spare” is that his older brother, Prince William, disparagingly called his wife Meghan Markle a “difficult, unpleasant, and aggressive woman”.

Harry also says that his father, King Charles, is a person who does not tolerate anyone taking the spotlight off of him, as Diana undoubtedly did and Meghan was ostensibly about to do.

However, it is well known that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attribute their present form of  exile and loss of privileges to the prejudices within the Royal Family, their “aides” and the British media. Whether you believe her or not, the British royal family has a history of hiding royal descendants that don’t fit the norm.

The Windsors, who adopted this fanciful name to conceal their German extraction and legitimate name of Saxe Coburn Gotha, have always regarded Meghan Markel an undesired household member.

Wallis Simpson & Meghan Markle

She is an American divorcee and former actress with an African heritage. Unlike Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, she does not have a noble lineage, no matter how feeble that may be. She is truly a common woman who, unfortunetly, also reminds the Royals of another difficult American divorcee : Wallis Simpson, for whom the unforgivable Edward VIII abdicated in 1936.

But look out because Meghan Merkel is most certainly neither the first nor the sole British Royal to have African ancestry; even Queen Charlotte was a mulatto!

The claim was made by an article printed in The Guardian in 2009  and written by Stuart Jeffries, from which I have extracted and edited the following piece.

DR MISAUBIN – THE QUACK FREEMASON

One individual whose reputation lies far from that of the archetypal Huguenot is John Jean Misaubin (1673-1734). It has been estimated that there were some 470 Huguenot refugee who practised the profession of medicine in England, from the beginning of the Reformation until the Huguenots ceased to seek refuge under the reign of George III. Dr John Misaubin was a fashionable ‘quack’ known to posterity thanks largely to the famous image of him by William Hogarth (1697-1764). He has been identified since contemporary times as ‘the thinner of the two doctors in Plate V of ‘A Harlot’s Progress’ published in 1732‘.

Misaubin

Here they are arguing the merits of their respective pills and potions whilst their patient Moll Hackabout, the Harlot, is dying of venereal disease, the reward of their calling.

Unsurprisingly, in the light of Hogarth’s striking and damning portrayal of medical incompetence, veniality and lack of humanity, all succeeding commentators over the years have repeated a pejorative refrain and called Misaubin a “notorious quack”.

Misabubin has a presence in another of Hogarth’s great modern moral subjects’ series, his ‘Marriage a la mode’ of 1743-45.

Misaubin

The meaning of this scene, the third in the series, has always been particularly obscure. The impoverished Count with his young girl friend is visiting a quack who has been said to be Misaubin with his ‘Irish wife’. But not only the image is not a physical representation of Misaubin, his wife Martha (Marthe) Angibaud, was too a French Huguenot. Hogarth’s reference to Misaubin lies in the setting, thought by some commentators to represent Misaubin’s museum at 96, St Martin’s Lane. Here are shown two machines; one for pulling corks and the other for reducing dislocated shoulders! The open folio on the machines reads: ‘Explication de deux machines superbes l’un pour remettre l’épaules l’autre  pour servir de tire bouchon inventés par Mons de la Pillule…  — vues at approuvées par l’academie des Sciences a Paris’. The other specific reference to Misaubin is the dummy with the long wig in the cabinet indicated by the Count’s cane.  Misaubin lived at this address only from 1732 until his death there in 1734.

BEHIND THE APPEARANCES – THE STRANGE GOLPE ON ST JOHN’S DAY

Why behind the appearances ? Because we must ask ourselves whether the events of yesterday in Russia, were part of a perfectly performed play or a sequence of ruinous actions spoilt by unforseen circumstances. What we saw in the west yesterday was Putin‘s tense face on TV in the morning, denouncing the betrayal of Motherland and promising a severe punishment to those who had betrayed Motherland Russia. The media showed us the great flames of the sun with a films of the Wagner ‘s war vehicles roaring along the highway on their way to Moscow. And then surprisingly, as the day came to a close, the same media announced to us the granting by Putin of the impunity for the rioters, and a safe exile to Bielorussia of the Wagner’s vile leader.

JUNE 24TH ST. JOHN’S MIRACLE

BEHIND THE APPEARANCES - THE STRANGE GOLPE ON ST JOHN'S DAY
The two Saint John

Why behind the appearances ? June 24th is the day the Christians celebrate this Saint around the world, but St John the Baptist is also the Saints’ Patron of Freemasonry ! And it was also on June 24, 1717, that the four main english Masonic lodges came together into one Grand Lodge giving birth to the “Modern” “speculative” Freemasonry. Two Protestant Christian excellent brothers, then wrote the new statutes of “Freemasonry” : the Reverend James Anderson and the Rev. John Theophilus Desaguliers.

MASONIC COINCIDENCES

In his book “Massoni”, WM Gioele Magaldi – Grand Master of the Grand Democratic Orient of Italy- basing himself on the thousands of documents that he boasts to possess – describes Vladimir Putin as a refined esotericist.

Worshipful Brother Magalli, wrote that Putin “has been a militant freemason for decades, together with Angela Merkel, both members of the “Golden Eurasia,” one of the many supranational Masonic structures which supervise the great decisions taken by the world governments.

GOETHE’S JOURNEY TO SICILY

Among the most celebrated visitors to Italy of the 18th c. was the German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman and theatre director, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who dedicated a significant part of his work Italienische Reise (The Italian Trip) to his journey to Sicily, and left us a vivid impression of its inhabitants’ way of life.

Freemasonry officially appeared in Sicily, part of the Kingdom of Naples, in 1768 when England’s leading Grand Lodge in Naples conceded a warrant  to the Perfect Union N. 433, which met in Palermo. The Lodge had been established by and for the benefit of military Irishmen under the command of Col. Francis Everard, but in order to survive it soon began to also admit civilians, culminating in Carlo Cottone, Prince of Villermosa, being its Worshipful Master at the end of 1785. There was another lodge in Palermo that operated under the rival National Grand Lodge of Naples, working on the rituals of the Rite Rectifié, successor of the Rite of Strict Observance, but it was in decline.

The Danish philosopher Friedrich Münter and Goethe were among the many Freemasons who in the 18th century  visited the enchanting Mediterranean island. They were both disciples of Neo-Templarism and members of the Illuminati sect and had met in Rome. It is unquestionable that Goethe’s eagerness to broaden his Italian experience by visiting Sicily, rose directly from the description that Münter gave him of that captivating place. Goethe claimed he scheduled his trip to Palermo around the middle of March and that he delayed it on at least two occasions, only sailing from Naples on March 29th after he had learned that the vessel’s captain, Filippo Cianchi, was also a Freemason.  Turbulence hampered the sea crossing, but Goethe safely arrived in Palermo on the bright afternoon of 2nd  April.  In Italienische Reise, he described the marvelous sensation he felt when he saw the gulf with on the right the Mount Pellegrino –  “the most beautiful promontory in the world,” he called it – and the Conca d’oro on the left (The Golden Shell).

In Palermo, Goethe checked  in at Mme. Montaigne’s hotel with the alias Philip Moeller. He hoped that by not revealing his true identity he would stay away from prying eyes, but to his surprise one evening, two men in uniform came to escort him to the Palace of the Viceroy, Francesco d’Aquino Prince of Caramanico. This nobleman had left the Dutch Lodge Les Zelés in Naples in 1769 to become a founding member and first Master of the Well Chosen Lodge, sanctioned by the Grand Lodge of England.  He became also the Grand Master of  the newly formed National Grand Lodge of Naples in 1773, but he resigned and withdrew from the Craft in 1775, when King Ferdinand IV banned Freemasonry in his realm.

It is unknown who had notified Prince Caramanico of the presence in Palermo, under an assumed identity, of the important German Brother;  but it is reasonable to suspect the tip-off came from the Naples Freemasons.  Other potential informers are the German landscape painter Jacob Philipp Hackert, who had met Goethe in Naples and had been Prince Caramanico’s guest at Palermo, the English Ambassador in Naples, Sir William Hamilton, and the ship’s Captain Cianchi himself.

Count Statella, the Viceroy’s Master of Ceremonies and a Knight of Malta, greeted Goethe on his arrival at the Palace. According to an anecdote, the Count – believing the visitor was a German called Philip Moeller – made an embarrassing blunder and casually mentioned that he had just finished reading “Werther,” a novel by another German named Goethe, whom he then talked about in derogatory terms. At this point Goethe revealed his true identity much to the dismay of the Count, who was even further embarrassed when the Viceroy, requesting him that Goethe be sat next to him at the table, grinned back at his Master of Ceremonies’ surprised reaction.

By traveling under a false identity, Goethe wanted to avoid contact with anyone from academic circles or  high society and thus remain free to fully absorb and enjoy the island’s natural beauty. Despite his best efforts to remain incognito, however, we know he also met and frequented in Palermo the Baron Antonio Bivona, a lawyer engaged by King Louis XVI of France to investigate Giuseppe Balsamo and his family.  Balsamo, a self claimed magician and healer who was using the alias Count Cagliostro on his far and wide travels in Europe, had become famous particularly for his frauds and supposed role in Queen Marie Antoinette’s necklace scandal. We know that in March 1787, the Baron had  lent  his report on Balsamo/Cagliostro to Goethe, who after reading it, visited Giuseppe’s mother and sister  on Via Terra delle Mosche,  a street in a much run-down area of Palermo.

This time Goethe introduced himself as an Englishman by the name of Mr. Winton, and informed the Balsamos that Giuseppe had traveled to London after being released from the Bastille. Goethe sympathized with the two destitute women, who had a big family to support and in Italienische Reise, he expressed the remorse for not being able to take care of them right away.

According to one account cited by several sources, on his return to Germany, Goethe showed his Brothers of the Order the letter that Giuseppe’s mother had written to her son, in which she begged for financial help. And those generous and caring men, moved by the tragic story, raised a sum of money and conveyed it to the Balsamo women via the English merchant Jacob Joff. The truth, however, may be that which is found in the memoirs of Brother Karl August Bottiger, a well-known archaeologist who knew Goethe and was a member of the Lodge Der goldene Apsel in Dresden. He wrote:

 “(…) the amount delivered to the Balsamos was [just] the honorarium the publisher Unger had paid Goethe for his Der Gross-Cophta,” a satire on Freemasonry that was staged in 1791 and proved a failure.

Whatever version of the events you choose to believe, there is no doubt that the financial gift to the the Balsamos was a noble, generous gesture performed in classic Masonic fashion !

After traveling across the island of Sicily, Goethe came to the following conclusion about the locals , which is a strong testament of their bravery:

Messina, Sunday 13 May 1787 – “I thought how interesting it was to see how gentlemen could get together and speak freely and with impunity, under a dictatorial government, to protect their own as well as foreign interests.

SPILSBURY – THE FREEMASON FATHER OF FORENSIC SCIENCE

Sir Bernard Henry Spilsbury was the most distinguished medical detective in England and a Freemason, like some of his colleagues and the criminals he helped bring to jail. Only the imaginary character of Sherlock Holmes exceeds him in popularity.

Spilsbury was responsible, with Scotland Yard, for the introduction of the “Murder Bag” following the “Crumbles murder” case in 1924. Patrick Mahon had killed Emily Kaye, his lover, and then dismembered her body and when Spilsbury arrived on the murder scene, he was surprised to find investigators picking up body parts with their bare hands. As a result, he devised a kit consisting of a collection of instruments – tweezers, evidence bags, and other items -which forensic detectives presently still use.

Spilsbury

Spilsbury was also responsible for establishing the character of the “legal expert” by integrating pathology and cause-of-death examinations into the legal criminal context.

— *** —

Bernard Henry Spilsbury was born on January 16, 1877, in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England and was one of four offspring from the union between Marion Elizabeth Joy and James Spilsbury, a chemist. Bernard adopted his father’s passion for science but – according to the crime author Michael J Buchanan-Dunne – he also absorbed his coldness, arrogance and lack of empathy. After receiving home education, at the age of nine Bernard was sent to boarding school for three years and at the age of 15, with his parents living in Crouch End in London, he went to study chemistry, physics and biology at the Owen’s College in Manchester. 

In 1895 Bernard Spilsbury enrolled at the Magdalen College, Oxford and earned his BA in natural science in 1899. He subsequently attended St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in Paddington’s Praed Street, London, where he meant to qualify as a general practitioner. Instead, he went on to study pathology and never repented.

MASONIC VALUES BREAKDOWN AND THE PANDEMIC CRISIS

The international Masonic Institutions have been harmed as never before during the last two years of Sars2 restrictions. The Brotherhood gets its nourishment from face-to-face debate both in and outside its lodges. But for far too long, the rules put in place have limited our freedoms and have prevented this intellectual confrontation taking place.  

But that is only the tip of the iceberg.

During these times of semi-incarceration, Masonic authorities of all Obedience have encouraged their members to roll up their sleeves and volunteer to help inject these supposed “miracle serums” that have failed to safeguard us time and time again.

They’ve also imposed on us to wear a mask, which master masons, knowledgeable  in symbolism, should recognise means surrender, subordination, resignation, and destroys our identity.

“Freemasons want to assist the National Health System and uphold the Masonic essential values of friendship, integrity, charity, and respect at all times.” These were the words of the Chief Executive Officer of the United Grand Lodge of England, an odd title that suggests there may be little of spiritual in what the institution represents.

Masonic

In history, dictators always fought their conflicts by exposing themselves in person, and that when they lost, they paid the price with their own life.

Today, the world’s aspiring tyrants fight instead  in a covert and cowardly manner. They use lies to sway people’s opinions. and sow the seeds of evil by repeating those lies until they bear fruit.

Who are the modern days tyrants?

THE FABIAN SOCIETY

The Fabian is a private elitist Society that has been working in the shadow in England since it was formed in 1844.  Its members  aspire to form a Socialist World Government that would wipe out human rights, lead to the appropriation by the State of all private property, give parity of rights to individuals who practise aberrations like homosexuality, one sex marriages, one sex parenting, trans-genderism and so forth. Such Global Government, would be formed with leaders chosen because of their superior intelligence.

The Fabian Society had a renaissance during Tony Blair’s term as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from  1997 to 2007, but even his successor Gordon Brown, the present Labour leader, Keith Starmer, and his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, are members.

In 2020, London re-elected Sadiq Khan as Ciy Mayor. The son of immigrants, Khan succeeded the Tory liberal Boris Johnson in 2016 and is considered a “moderate Muslim” . He was from 2008 to 2010 the President of the elitist Fabian Society.

The coat of arms of the Fabian Society depicts a wolf in sheep’s clothes, pointing to the Society’s policy of deception!  The Society wishes to run the world and is as sinister as the Illuminati and as treacherous as The Rotary Club, a Society that hides behind Charity donations but whose members’ true intention  is to find business opportunities  and maximize their profits.

In the photo below, Tony Blair is shown in 2006 unveiling a restored window at the London School of Economics in London, which was commissioned by George Bernard Shaw . Shaw was a famous playwright and co-founded, with Stanley James Webb, the Fabian Society. He was also a socialist and a keen supporter of the Eugenics, a science described as” the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable“. Shaw described his frightening vision of a future society with these words:

“(…) Under Socialism, people would not be allowed to be poor. They would be force-fed , be clothed and provided with accommodation, would be educated and provided with a job, whether they like it or not. If it turns out that they do not have enough an industriousness to deserve all of this, they will probably be gently eliminated; but if they were allowed to live they should live well (…)”

JULIA APRAXIN – THE FIRST WOMAN FREEMASON IN SPAIN

Julia Apraxin was initiated into a Masonic lodge called “Fraternidad Iberica” (Brotherhood of Iberia) in Madrid in 1880. Although born in Vienna, she felt also  Hungarian, owing to her upbringing in that country and the possibility that his Hungarian foster father was, in fact, her biological parent. “Doña Julia de Rubio y Guillén, Condesa de Apratxin” was admitted into the lodge Fraternidad Ibérica (Brotherhood of Iberia) of the Grande Oriente Nacional de España (National Grand Orient of Spain) in Madrid on June 14, 1880, in accordance with contemporary Spanish Masonic protocol. The letter “t” in the countess’ surname appears to have been a slip of the pen.

Seoane, the Grand Master of the National Grand Orient of Spain, gave his authorization to initiate her by citing the lady’s gallant services for the French army as official chronicles evince. The lodge minutes show a considerable participation of Freemasons to the function and that Countess “Apratxin” adopted for herself the name “Buda.”[1] Julia Buda was merely one of the many aliases that the Countess used in her life; she had been inspired to it by the name of the former Capital city of Hungary, Buda[2], one of her places of residence and activities.                                 

Julia’s mother had met Count József Esterházy in 1828, and after her first husband had divorced her, the two wed in 1841. Count Esterházy – we know from his diary – regarded Julia to be his own daughter.

Julia Apraxin

Julia Apraxin was born on October 16, 1830, in Vienna, the registered offspring of Count Alexandre Petrovich Apraxin, a Russian noble and diplomat, and Countess Hélène (Ielena) Bezobrazova, a Polish-Russian aristocratic. Julia spent her childhood and adolescence in Vienna and at the Esterhazy Castle in Cseklész, near Pozsony (today Pressburg, Bratislava), with her parents and brother Demeter .

On October 15, 1849, she married Count Arthur (Artúr) Batthyány. The couple had five children and for about ten years settled in Vienna, where they lived the glamorous life of high society, attending balls, dances, masquerades, and enjoying drives in their private carriage.

IN DEFENSE OF THE BROTHERHOOD

I am a Freemason. I am also a Baby Boomer. In my generation that would make me a bit of an anomaly because most men in America born after WWII have not been joiners until very recently.

But my father was a Freemason; as was his brother. They owned and operated adjoining farms on the great wheat and cattle producing plains of Oklahoma. For as long as I can remember, my dad would come in from his work every Wednesday afternoon, take a shower, and put on his Sunday suit My uncle would come by and pick him up and they would go to the Mason’s Hall together. They did this for 50 years. I can’t remember a time when I was not going to be a Freemason.

I also knew the men in my community. It was a small place of only about 2,500 people. It was where we celebrated the festivals of our lives, went to church, and participated in social conversations outside our home. I knew the most respected men in my town. I can’t remember when I did not know them.

I entered the fraternity of Freemasonry during the summer of my 21st year. When I arrived at the lodge for my first degree, or stage of joining, all these men I had known and respected in my childhood were there. They were my father’s friends. I can remember to this day standing in the ante-room of the lodge, duly prepared in a garment provided me for the occasion, waiting for someone to return my knocks on the door, and thinking to myself: Tonight, I am going to be initiated into Manhood.

Although at the time I didn’t realize it, through my initiation into the world’s oldest secret society for men, I was participating in one of the most ancient traditions of manhood. In every culture the world has ever known, men have yearned to be initiated into manhood. It is fundamental to man’s understanding of his own process of growth. And we have always known it even if we have not defined it for ourselves.

THE DREAM OF A MASONIC EUROPE

The Euro Lodge 2021 is a project that Tetraktys is pleased to support. The aim is to set up a Craft Lodge with Brethren from the European Union and with a EU nationality who live and work in the United Kingdom. Without doubt, the conflicts and divisions that Brexit has created in our society are the reasons behind this idea. Citizens from EU-member States who had been allowed to settle in the UK ,without constraints, for the previous fifty years, have been turned into aliens in the name of a dubious 52/48% vote on a poor turnout. A vote often described by right-wing Tory politicians as an “overwhelming” verdict to leave the Community and as a justification to cast away from this island millions of of Europeans. A tragedy for those who had to leave and those who have remained.

This EU Lodge Project reminds me of the contents of an article, titled “Masonic Europeanism”, that the online magazine Corrispondenza Romana published not long ago. I’ve extrapolated and translated some of its passages to show you that the idea of a united Europe is Masonic goes back a long time.

According to the French academic Yves Hivert-Messeca, the Freemasons were dreaming of a trans-national society or fraternity and conspiring for a new Europe as early as the eighteenth century.

Prof Gianmario Cazzaniga, a scholar that the Grand Orient of Italy highly esteems, shares this opinion. He also believes  that the concept of a Universal Republic first arose in the circles of literati, aristocrats, antique merchants, and scientists and later received the support of Huguenots , bankers and Freemasons.

The realization of a European Republic that would reflect Masonic principles, implies the project of a socio-cultural metamorphosis achievable only through a revolution–the French one of 1789 and the New World Order more recently –that would crush the power of the Papal State, the political and military Catholic monarchies (such as the Habsburg in the past), or the Republics now.
