GENERAL CHRONOLOGY OF
EVENTS
©1994/1995
LeadingEdge Research Group

This initial historical analysis was assembled as a chronological chart and took months to accomplish. It is by no means complete. Resting on the known fact that the universe is stranger that you think it is, extreme flexibility was allowed relative to th e entries in the chronology, sometimes reaching into the fringe. Of course, that's were all the fun is.
Whether you realize it or not, experience means knowing the unknown, even if if might seem ridiculous to the logical or linear mind, very strange facts have been known to come together in strange ways. They always do.
When you examine the chronology, which was for me an organizational research tool, keep that in mind. I decided to include it in the book because I thought you might somehow find it useful in your own examination. Don't get into a state because you feel I "left something out" or "didn't include something else" or "shouldn't have included this". I did it for me, remember? Items are there because of informational relationship within the over all paradigm under examination. Names are not changed to unprotect the ignorant dullards who decided to try and run the show. Silly rabbit. Kids need love, not psychotherapy and psychocybernetic control. I trust you will find the following to be of use in your overall investigations.

540-1799

---

540 Bubonic plague engulfs the Roman Empire until 592.

553 Justinian convenes the Second Synod of Constantinople, issuing a decree that bans the doctrine of "past lifetimes" or "reincarnation", as well as removal of all veiled references to pre-existence from religious documents.

1347 Bubonic plague spreads in Europe through 1350. Over 100 million would die from the plague during the next 400 years.

1350 Renaissance period, with its emphasis on freedom of the human spirit, replaces oligarchic control structures in Europe. It produces individualism that is immediately expressed as republican nationalism, dedicated to ending all hereditary control and dictatorship over the lives of people. The Renaissance Period becomes de-structured again by the old families in Europe. England eventually becomes the source of the movement to destroy nationalism (initially through conquest and establishment of the British Empire) and individualism, expressed in the Communist movement. Eventually, two world wars would be planned to restore rule by the oligarchy.

1400 European power centres coalesce into two camps: the Ghibellines, who supported the Emperors Hohenstaufen family, and the Guelphs, from Welf, the German prince who competed with Frederick for control of the Holy Roman Empire. The Pope allied himself with the Guelphs. All modern history stems directly from the struggle between these two powers. The Guelphs are also called the Neri, Black Guelphs, or Black Nobility, and supported William of Orange in his seizure of the throne of England, which eventually resulted in the formation of the Bank of England and the East India Company, which would rule the world from the 17th century.
All coup d'etats, revolutions and wars in the 19th and 20th centuries are centred in the battle of the Guelphs to hold and enhance their power, which is now the New World Order. The power of the Guelphs would extend through the Italian financial centres to the north of France in Lombardy (all Italian bankers were referred to as "Lombards". Lombard in German means "deposit bank", and the Lombards were bankers to the entire Medieval world. They would later transfer operations north to Hamburg, then to Amsterdam and finally to London. The Guelphs would start the slave trade to the colonies. The Guelphs, in order to aid their control of finance and politics, would perpetuate gnostic cults which eventually developed into the Rosicrucians, Unitarians, Fabian Society and the World Council of Churches. The East India company, together with John Stuart Mill, would finance the University of London. A friend of Mill, George Grote, would give the University of London £6000 to study "mental health", which began the worldwide "mental health" movement.

Weishaupt and others desired to attach themselves to Masonic lodges in Europe and America. In 1780, Weishaupt recruits Adolf Francis (Baron Knigge), which allowed the hierarchical structure of the Order to expand to completion. Weishaupt sought absolute obedience to him and other influential members of the order, and worked for the overthrow of church and state authorities who were seen as blocks to Illuminati progress. Knigge completes the system of initiation, and membership swells to 300. Competition arises between Weishaupt and Knigge.

Barruel comes to similar conclusions as Robison, that when the Illuminati was outlawed it went underground and resurfaced as an organization called the German Union, which played a role in creating the French Revolution in 1789. This thesis is later discussed in 1918 with Stauffer's New England and the Bavarian Illuminati.

1798 Emigration to Canada begins.

1799 George Washington dies. With his death Masons were again trusted, and the controversity about the Illuminati faded.
