The first step to that destiny was the conquest of Ireland. Inspired by the Hermetic-Cabbalist Neoplatonism of John Dee, the Sydney Circle would take on the Fitzgerald Earl of Desmond in a genocidal war of extermination. Viewed from the 21st century, the idea of an all-or-nothing Manichean holy war between white Europeans seems bizarre. But the feud between the European deep-state factions of the Counter-Reformation was a no-holds-barred fight to the death that embodied no less than the core principles of a cosmic war between light and dark.
In 1580, the prospect of this apocalyptic war of genocide coming to Ireland prompted the Holy See in Rome to send an army of Italians and Spaniards to help the Fitzgeralds under the authority drafted by the "Just War Doctrine."
Dubbed by Richard Berleth, author of The Twilight Lords: Elizabeth I and the First Irish Holocaust as the "Twilight Lords", the Fitzgeralds' struggle against the Elizabethans and their Renaissance Neoplatonism offers a window into a thousand year old factional struggle of a European "deep-state" rooted in a Gnostic belief system. As allegorized in Edmund Spencer's Faerie Queene, the Fitzgeralds satisfied the Manichean requirement for evil in the English propaganda of the day, while Elizabeth and her Red Cross Templar knights represented Christian purity in the tradition of King Arthur and the Round Table.
It is of no small importance that the death of Gerald Fitzgerald, the last Earl of Desmond in 1583 marks the beginning of the British Empire. The eternal struggle of good against evil, the ancient Iranian war of light against dark by design required a victory over the darkness and the Earl of Desmond filled that sacred role. As was the custom at the time, his decapitated head was sent to London where legend has it Queen Elizabeth sat with it for the morning before having it impaled on London Bridge.
With the incorporation of the British East India Company in 1600, Elizabeth's victory would be spread around the world through imperial expansion. Elizabeth's favorite courtier Walter Raleigh would sail to America and establish the colony that came to be named Virginia for the "Virgin Queen." The East India Company would establish trading posts from India to America and play a key role in the economic causes leading to the American Revolution. It would make its founding families rich beyond dreams of avarice and make the English language universal and English culture the standard by which all other cultures would be judged. But the competition with Rome and the suspicion over its motives would never stop.
In the 400 plus years since Elizabeth I's time much of what was once deemed heretical by Church authorities has become commonplace. The Irish feudal society the Fitzgeralds died to preserve was already obsolete by Elizabethan times and would have vanished with or without them. The sexual practices of the "heretics" forbidden by law as recently as a generation ago have become accepted and even openly embraced. The perfection of the human race through magic and alchemy sought by John Dee and the Sidney Circle has been replaced by computer science, physics and biotechnology but the final product of such perfection is far from clear or even desirable.
Unknown and often unseen, the bitter struggle for power within the Anglo/Norman deep-state has raged beneath the surface down through the centuries. On November 22, 1963 Americans were shocked by the public execution of their President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In the years since every manner of conspiracy theory has been advanced to explain what happened. But killing the only Roman Catholic President of the United States on the site of the first Masonic Temple in Dallas on the Masonic day of revenge for the destruction of the Knights Templar (November 22) bespeaks a ritual and the ritual to which it bespeaks belongs to the Cathars and the De Clare family. The discovery that George Bush was descended from Earl Richard de Clare, "Strongbow," the same man who drew the Fitzgerald family en masse into Ireland in 1169 was one of those moments few may understand without access to the deep-state script. If the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy could have been an act of retribution for an eight hundred year old vendetta then we all must begin to view history from a much more complex perspective. In order to understand a "deep-state", we must all begin to ask "deep-questions" and be willing to accept "deep-answers" no matter where they lead.
But with some clues to our own past, with an understanding of the ancient cycles of revenge and retribution and a rudimentary knowledge of the ancient rituals of death and rebirth, we can move forward to enthusiastically greet whatever is about to come next in much better shape than we might have thought possible.
