The Jesuit Connection to the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln |
by Kenneth M. Hoeck Nov.'99
As most Americans know, Abraham Lincoln was an American
statesman and the 16th President of the United States (term 1861-1865). He was
born in Hardin County, Kentucky and grew up in Indiana. In 1830 his family
moved to Illinois, and in 1837, Abe began practicing law in Springfield. His
upright moral character had earned him the nickname "Honest Abe."
Abraham, an avid reader of the Scriptures who often cited Biblical
passages, held no denominational alliances and developed a keen awareness of
the dangers posed by the Catholic Church and its dreaded Jesuit Order.
Most Americans do not know about the Jesuit
connection to the Lincoln assassination. People who were close to Lincoln,
including Samuel Morse (inventor of the telegraph) and several American
Ambassadors, knew of the Jesuit hatred toward him and warned him ever
increasingly right up to the point of his murder. This article has been written
to recover the truth of history which has been omitted and obscured from
the public view by the American government, the Catholic influenced writers of
history, and even publicly supressed by Lincoln himself, for reasons we will
later see.
May all realize that a leopard does not change its spots...and this Romish predator just waits in the grasses for the prey to come unsuspectingly along. You may not see the danger now and when you finally do...it is too late. The modern Catholic Church and the Jesuit Order are outwardly very docile and seemingly benevolent. They have lured society into a deep sleep. As the writers of our history books and as teachers in our schools, they have all but erased the jaded, yea wicked, past which is a testimony to their true character. It is our hope that this publication will wake some from their learned ignorance of the truth.
Much of the quoted testimony against the Jesuit order that we will present here is from Charles Chiniquy, a catholic priest, who befriended Lincoln and warned him of the Jesuit plot to take his life. We will quote heavily from Chiniquy's book entitled "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome" (available as a free download in text format by clicking here). Chiniquy gives us a reason why he wrote his book exposing the wicked deeds of the Catholic Church, a reason which should be even more pertinent to us today:
"Because modern Protestants have not only forgotten what Rome was, what she is, and what she will for ever be; the most irreconcilable and powerful enemy of the Gospel of Christ; but they consider her almost as a branch of the church whose corner stone is Christ."~ Chas. Chiniquy- Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.
We echo this truth to all Protestants (if one can still rightly call them that since they really do not protest anything anymore), and to the ear of the deceived modern Catholic as well; who may not know of the true and wicked history behind the church at Rome. Many people had left Europe to escape the clutches of the Roman Church, coming to America to obtain truly free religious liberty by which to enjoy their Christian worship. This article is intended neither to "bash" Catholic laypeople nor to breed contempt or hate of any one person or group. It is strictly to inform and warn of a past historical happening involving the Jesuit Order.
We will never forget that our forefathers, the first inhabitants of the American land, were compelled to leave their native country, to come to bury themselves in unknown and far-distant wildernesses to escape your [Jesuit] tyranny and cruelty. ~Jesuitism Unvailed (Americans Warned About Jesuitism) by Claude Pirat; 1851 AD
"If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the Catholic clergy." - Lafayette.

M. Fylop-Miller, former President of the John Adams Union, wrote to Jefferson in 1816: "I am not happy about the rebirth of the Jesuits. Swarms of them will present themselves under more disguises ever taken by even a chief of the Bohemians, as printers, writers, publishers, school teachers, etc. If ever an association of people deserved eternal damnation, on this earth and in hell it is this Society of Loyola. " Jefferson's reply: "Like you, I object to the Jesuit's reestablishment which makes light give way to darkness." |
The Secret Treaty of Verona
The beginning of the nineteenth century was a time of change for the papacy of
Rome. Pius VII was Pope (from 1800-23) and had issued a condemnation of bible
societies as 'a most abominable invention that
destroyed the very foundations of religion.' This new era of
liberty and republics had diminished much of the papal power, but had nowhere
near paralyzed them. They strongly hated these freedoms and continually were
they set on destroying them and on regaining their former absolute power
as in the time of the Inquisitions. The United States -and its President - were
obstacles that had to be dealt with.
On our quest for the truth we must begin at the
Treaty of Verona. The death of President Lincoln was the culmination of but one step in the
attempt to carry out the Secret Treaty of Verona, of October, 1822, a pact
entered into by the "high contracting parties" [Kings of Prussia, Russia, Austria, and behind the
scenes, Pope Pius VII, the king of the Papal States] of the former
Congress of Vienna, Austria, which had held its sessions secret, covering the
whole year of 1814-15.~ The Suppressed Truth About the
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
The Secret Treaty of Verona referred to its
contractors as the "Holy Alliance". The treaty was dedicated to the eradication of Europe's
representative governments and the re-establishment of absolute monarchies.
It also purposed to suppress the media (the press) and to use
religion to "keep
the nations in the state of passive obedience". The document,
signed on September 26th,1822, also expressed " their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and
solicit his constant co-operation in their views of submitting the
nations."
In the
Congressional Record of April 25th, 1916, U.S. Senator Robert L. Owen was
questioned by members of Congress as to what the meaning of this Secret Treaty
truly was. The record shows his reply to include the following
statements. "This Holy Alliance having put a
Bourbon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used France to supress
the condition of Spain, immediately afterwards, and by this very treaty gave
her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs anually to enable her to wage war
upon the people of Spain and prevent their exercise of any measure of the
right of self-government. The Holy Alliance immediately did the same thing
in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to Italy;...." "The
Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic supression of the
press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas
of popular rights, and by the complete supression of popular government.
The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain, and in Italy,
had well-laid plans also to destroy popular government in the American
Colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South
America under the successful example of the United States."
It was because of this conspiracy against
the American Republics by the European monarchies that President Monroe stated
to Congress that the United States would regard it as an act of hostility if
the Holy Alliance; or any European power, attempted to establish control of any
American republic or to acquire any territorial rights. Maybe you will remember
this decree from school, as this was known as the Monroe Doctrine. As you well know, the Catholic Church
laughs in the face of that decree and became a major landholder in the
U.S.A.
As the Vatican brought these political powers
together for the Treaty of Verona they also had other things going on. "Simultaneously with the calling of Congress of
Vienna in 1814, Pope Pius VIIth restored the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order)
which had been abolished by Pope Clement IVth, July 21, 1773, on the grounds
that it was immoral, dangerous and was a menace to the very life of the
papacy. "~ The Supressed Truth About the
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
It is interesting to
notate that this Pope Clement IV, who had banned the Jesuits, was promptly poisoned for his act. The
re-activation of the Jesuits was carried further through the next Pope, Leo XII
(papacy from 1823-29).
The Jesuit Oath
The execution of the treaty's plans was placed under the watchful eye of the
Jesuits. The equality of all men taught by Christ has always been hated
and feared by the Jesuits despite all their protestations of supporting
Christianity. The plans laid by these men are
very long range and quite detailed and have but one goal.
"It will be well for the reader to understand that the
church of Rome with its sixteen centuries of intrigue, plans fifty or a hundred
years ahead. The ultimate goal is to throw the lever of time back by
restoring the Pope as the "universal arbiter" from whom all the
rulers of the earth must receive their authority to rule, as during the Dark
Ages."~ The Supressed Truth About the
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
The treaty was clearly a political extention of the Jesuits own motives
involving the obliteration of all Protestant governments. We can better
understand the Jesuit motives in this regard if we take a glimpse at an
excerpt of their Oath.

__________________________ now, in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed
Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the

to the utmost of my power I shall and will defend this doctrine of his

The Jesuits
and the political powers of the Holy Alliance had soon set their sights on the
United States. The U.S. was a model to other nations of how a new
republic could "break away" and this gave these other
"rebels" strength in hope. If they could make an example out of the
U.S. they would be in better position to crush any other "new"
popular (representative) governments. Very soon, the young American nation
would elect its 16th President who strongly believed in a representative
government and this man would be an obstacle that, by their oath, the Jesuits
must depose or destroy.
Lincoln's Defense of Charles Chiniquy
The next significant series of events involve a Roman Catholic priest by the
name of Charles Chiniquy. Now while it is true that such Jesuit priests play
both sides, this particular man seemed, by his actions, to be a man of
integrity. Chiniquy consistently roused the ire of his bishop and even of the
Vatican itself by speaking out whenever church actions conflicted with the
Bible.
In one such exchange, Mr. Chiniquy had called the Bishop of Chicago a usurper
for improper use of church power to take the property of Catholics. Bishop
O'Regan of Chicago raged "You are
half a Protestant! Your words smell of Protestantism! The Gospel! the Gospel!
that is your great tower of strength against the laws and regulations of our
holy church! If you think, Mr. Chiniquy, that you will frighten me with your
big words of the Gospel, you will soon see your mistake, at your own expense. I
will make you remember that it is the Church you must obey, and it is through
your bishop that the church rules you!"
"My lord," Chiniquy
answered, "I want to obey the
church. Yes! but it is a church founded on the Gospel; a church that respects
and follows the Gospel, that I want to obey!"
It was after this episode that the bishop's agents brought around trumped up
charges to frame Chiniquy. The case appeared before the Criminal Court of
Kankakee (Illinois) in November 1855. Chiniquy won this round in a series of
legal battles with the powers of the Bishop of Chicago. The lawyer for the
prosecution was Peter Spink, who appealed the case to the Court of Urbana, in
Champaign County.
The
heavy-hearted Chiniquy began to leave the court building when a stranger
approached him and said: "I have followed your suit from the beginning. It
is more formidable than you suspect. Your
prosecutor, Spink, is only an instrument in the hands of the bishop. The real
prosecutor is the land shark who is at the head of the diocese, and who is
destroying our holy religion by his private and public scandals. As you are
the only one among his priests who dares to resist him, he is determined to get
rid of you: he will spend all his treasures and use the almost irresistible
influence of his position to crush you. The
misfortune for you is that, when you fight a bishop, you fight all the bishops
of the world. They will unite all their wealth and influence to Bishop
O'Regan's to silence you, though they hate and despise him. There was
no danger of any verdict against you in this part of Illinois, where you are
too well known for the perjured witnesses they have brought to influence your
judges. But when you are among strangers, mind what I tell you: the false oaths
of your enemies may be accepted as gospel truths by the jury, and then, though
innocent, you are lost. Though your two
lawyers are expert men, you will want something better at Urbana. Try to
secure the services of Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield. If that man defends
you, you will surely come out victorious from that deadly conflict!"....."Abraham
Lincoln is the best lawyer and the most honest man we have in Illinois."~
Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.
After hearing this Chiniquy asked his two lawyers about this
"Lincoln" and if he should seek his representation at the court in
Urbana. They both answered: "Oh! if you can secure the services of Abraham
Lincoln, by all means do it. We know him well; he is one of the best lawyers,
and one of the most honest men we have in our State." The priest sent an immediate telegraph to Lincoln
asking to procure his services and within twenty minutes he had received the
telegraphed answer:
|
"Yes, I will defend your honour and your life at the next May term at Urbana.- "Abraham Lincoln." |
In an
ironic twist, a few minutes after Lincoln had sent his reply, Spink attempted
to telegraph to Lincoln, asking his services at the next May term of the Court,
at Urbana on the diocese side. Of course, the honorable Mr. Lincoln had already
pledged his services.
Chiniquy Meets Lincoln
At Urbana, in Champaign County, on the 19th of May, 1856, Chiniquy met Abraham
Lincoln for the first time and had this to say in recall of their meeting: It was then
that I met Mr. Abraham Lincoln for the first time. He was a giant in stature;
but I found him still more a giant in the noble qualities of his mind and
heart. It was impossible to converse five minutes with him without loving him.
There was such an expression of kindness and honesty in that face, and such an
attractive magnetism in the man, that after a few moments' conversation one
felt as tied to him by all noblest affections of the heart. When pressing my
hand, he told me: "You were mistaken when you telegraphed that you were
unknown to me. I know you, by reputation, as the stern opponent of the tyranny
of your bishop, and the fearless protector of your countrymen in Illinois;
I have heard much of you from two priests; and, last night, your lawyers,
Messrs. Osgood and Paddock have acquainted me with the fact that your bishop is
employing some of his tools to get rid of you. I hope it will be an easy
thing to defeat his projects, and protect you against his machinations."
He then asked
me how I had been induced to desire his services. I answered by giving him the
story of that unknown friend who had advised me to have Mr. Abraham Lincoln for
one of my lawyers, for the reason that "he was the best lawyer and the
most honest man in Illinois." He smiled at my answer with that inimitable
and unique smile, which we may call the "Lincoln smile," and replied:
"That unknown friend would surely have been more correct had he told you
that Abraham Lincoln was the ugliest lawyer of the country!" and he
laughed outright.~ Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.
Lincoln, in his eloquent manner, had thoroughly disarmed the testimonies of 10
false witnesses and that of two lying Catholic priests (named Lebel and
Carthuval). The eleven Protestants on the jury voted unanimously
"Not Guilty" but the single Catholic on that jury voted against
Chiniquy. The court discharged the jury for not being able to decide beyond a
shadow of a doubt ( the lone catholic had cast that shadow). Chiniquy was held
prisoner for five months until the next court date of the 19th of October,
1856.
On the 20th of October, 1856 the Rev. Lebel was the first called to testify as
a character witness against Chiniquy. His testimony lasted nearly an hour. He
began by declaring that "Chiniquy
was one of the bilest men of the day--that every kind of bad rumours were
constantly circulating against him." He proceeded to tell of these
numerous rumors and declared he could substantiate one as true. "Mr. Chiniquy," he
perjured, "had attempted to do the
most infamous things with my own sister, Madame Bossey. She herself has
told me the whole story under oath, and she would be here to unmask the wicked
man to-day before the world, if she were not forced to silence at home from a
severe illness."
Lincoln, lawyer for the defense, supplied a strong cross-examination and
brought in twelve respectable witnesses who swore under oath that Mr. Lebel was
a drunkard and vicious man. They said that he was so publicly Chiniquy's
enemy because of the many rebukes Chiniquy had given in regard to his private
and public vices, that they would not believe a word of what he said, even upon
his oath. And yet, the courtroom was buzzing over some of the false testimony
that they still thought true. At ten p.m. the court was adjourned and told to
meet again the next morning.
Chiniquy met Lincoln in his room and we will let him personally relate to us
what occurred next : "My dear Mr. Chiniquy," said Mr. Lincoln,
"though I hope, tomorrow, to destroy the testimony of Mr. Lebel against
you, I must concede that I see great dangers ahead. There is not the least
doubt in my mind that every word he has said is a sworn lie; by my fear is that
the jury thinks differently. I am a pretty good judge in these matters. I feel
that our jurymen think that you are guilty. There is only one way to
perfectly destroy the power of a false witness--it is by another direct
testimony against what he has said, or by showing from his very lips that he
has perjured himself. I failed to do that last night, though I have
diminished, to a great extent, the force of his testimony. Can you not prove an
alibi, or can you not bring witnesses who were there in the same house that
day, who would flatly and directly contradict what your remorseless enemy has
said against you?"
I (Chiniquy)
answered him:
"How can I try to do such a thing when they have been shrewd enough not to
fix the very date of the alleged crime against me?"
"You are
correct, you are perfectly correct, Mr. Chiniquy," answered Mr. Lincoln, "as
they have refused to precise the date, we cannot try that. I have never seen two such skillful rogues
as those two priests. There is really a diabolical skill in the plan they have
concocted for your destruction. It is evident that the bishop is at the bottom
of the plot. You remember how I have forced Lebel to confess that he
was now on the most friendly terms with the Bishop of Chicago, since he has
become the chief of your accusers. Though I do not give up the hope of rescuing
you from the hands of your enemies, I do not like to conceal from you that I
have several reasons to fear that you will be declared guilty, and condemned to
a heavy penalty, or to the penitentiary, though I am sure you are perfectly
innocent. It is very probable that we will have to confront that sister of
Lebel to-morrow. Her sickness is probably a feint, in order not to appear here
except after the brother will have prepared the public mind in her favour. At
all events, if she does not come, they will send some justice of the peace to
get her sworn testimony, which will be more difficult to rebut than her own
verbal declarations. That woman is evidently in the hands of the bishop and her
brother priest, ready to swear anything they order her, and I know nothing so
difficult as to refute such female testimonies, particularly when they are
absent from the court. The only way
to be sure of a favourable verdict to-morrow is, that God Almighty would take
our part and show your innocence! Go to Him and pray, for He alone can save you."
Mr. Lincoln was exceedingly solemn when
he addressed those words to me, and they went very deep into my soul.
I have often
been asked if Abraham Lincoln had any religion? But I never had any doubt about his profound confidence in God, since I
heard those words falling from his lips in that hour of anxiety. I had
not been able to conceal my deep distress. Burning tears were rolling on my
cheeks when he was speaking, and there was on his face the expression of
friendly sympathy which I shall never forget. Without being able to say a word,
I left him to go to my little room. It was nearly eleven o'clock. I locked the
door and fell on my knees to pray, but I was unable to say a single word. The
horrible sworn calumnies thrown at my face by a priest of my own church were
ringing in my ears! my honour and my good name so cruelly and for ever
destroyed! all my friends and my dear people covered with an eternal confusion!
and more than that, the sentence of condemnation which was probably to be
hurled against me the next day in the presence of the whole country, whose eyes
were upon me!~ Charles Chiniquy's Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.
From eleven p.m. to three in the morning Charles
Chiniquy cried out to God for help in sobbing prayer. His plight against so
powerful a foe as the false witnesses, set up by the Chicago diocese, seemed so
dark. He began to think that maybe God had forsaken him. At three in the
morning, Chiniquy answered a knock upon his door...it was Abraham Lincoln who
exclaimed, "Cheer up, Mr. Chiniquy, I have the
perjured priests in my hands. Their diabolical plot is all known, and if they
do not fly away before dawn of day, they will surely be lynched. Bless the
Lord, you are saved!"
The newspapers in Chicago were quick to print of Chiniquy's impending doom. The
news that Chiniquy would be hung thrilled the Roman Catholics to no end. One of the papers was
bought by a friend of Chiniquy named Terrien, whose wife, Narcisse, revealed
that she delivered false testimony against the priest. She was quite ill and
could not make the journey to Urbana but told her husband that another woman,
Miss Philomene Moffat, was with her when the deed occurred. They rushed
Miss Moffat to the courthouse right away and she related how Lebel had offered
his sister 160 acres to perjure herself in testimony against Chiniquy. It was
done!
Lebel, knowing he would be exposed, dropped the charges against Charles
Chiniquy. Abraham Lincoln did not let the priests go unscathed during his
closing statements. He fully and clearly set himself against the Jesuit powers
when he forcefully said " As long as
God gives me a heart to feel, a brain to think, or a hand to execute my will, I
shall devote it against that power which has attempted to use the
machinary of the courts to destroy the rights and character of an American citizen."
The Costs of the Legal Battle
After the excitement died down, Chiniquy asked how much the bill was for
his legal services. We shall now read Mr. Lincoln's reply as told by Chiniquy: "My dear Mr. Chiniquy, I feel proud
and honoured to have been called to defend you. But I have done it less as a
lawyer than as a friend. The money I should receive from you would take away
the pleasure I feel at having fought your battle. Your case is unique in my
whole practice. I have never met a man so cruelly persecuted as you have been,
and who deserves it so little. Your
enemies are devils incarnate. The plot they had concocted against you is
the most hellish one I ever knew. But the way you have been saved from
their hands, the appearance of that young and intelligent Miss Moffat, who was
really sent by God in the very hour of need, when, I confess it again, I
thought everything was nearly lost, is one of the most extraordinary
occurrences I ever saw. It makes me remember what I have too often
forgotten, and what my mother often told me when young - that our God is a prayer-hearing God."
This good thought, sown into my young heart by that dear
mother's hand, was just in my mind when I told you, 'Go and pray, God alone can
save you.' But I confess to you that I had not faith enough to believe that
your prayer would be so quickly and so marvelously answered by the sudden
appearance of that interesting young lady, last night. Now let us speak
of what you owe me. Well! - Well! - how much do you owe me? You owe me nothing!
for I suppose you are quite ruined. The expenses of such a suit, I know, must
be enormous. Your enemies want to ruin you. Will I help them to finish your
ruin, when I hope I have the right to be put among the most sincere and devoted
of your friends?"
"You are
right," I (Chiniquy)answered him; "you are the most devoted and noblest
friend God ever gave me, and I am nearly ruined by my enemies. But you are the
father of a pretty large family; you must support them. Your traveling expenses
in coming twice here for me from Springfield; your hotel bills during the two
terms you have defended me, must be very considerable. It is not just that you
should receive nothing in return for such work and expenses." "Well! well!" he
answered, "I will give you a promissory
note which you will sign." Taking then
a small piece of paper, he wrote:
|
Urbana, May 23, 1853 Due A. Lincoln fifty dollars, for value received. C. Chiniquy |
After reading it, I
said, "Dear Mr. Lincoln, this is a joke. It is not possible that you ask
only fifty dollars for services which are worth at least two thousand
dollars." He then tapped me with the right hand on the shoulders and said:
"Sign that, it is enough. I will pinch
some rich men for that, and make them pay the rest of the bill," and he laughed outright.
When Abraham
Lincoln was writing the due-bill, the relaxation of the great strain upon my
mind, and the great kindness of my benefactor and defender in charging me so
little for such a service, and the
terrible presentiment that he would pay with his life what he had done for me
caused me to break into sobs and tears.
As Mr.
Lincoln had finished writing the due-bill, he turned round to me, and said, "Father Chiniquy, what are you crying
for? Ought you not to be the most happy man alive? you have beaten your enemies
and gained the most glorious victory, and you will come out of all your
troubles in triumph."
"Dear Mr. Lincoln," I answered, "allow me
to tell you that the joy I should naturally feel for such a victory is
destroyed in my mind by the fear of what it may cost you. There were
then in the crowd not less than ten or twelve Jesuits from Chicago and
St. Louis, who came to hear my sentence of condemnation to the penitentiary.
But it was on their heads that you have brought the thunders of heaven and
earth! Nothing can be compared to the expression of their rage against you,
when you not only wrenched me from their cruel hands, but you were making the
walls of the court-house tremble under the awful and superhumanly eloquent denunciation
of their infamy, diabolical malice, and total want of Christian and human
principle, in the plot they had formed for my destruction. What troubles my
soul just now and draws my tears, is that it seems to me that I have read your
sentence of death in their fiendish eyes. How many other noble victims
have already fallen at their feet!

"I am not weeping for myself, but for you, sir. They will kill you; and let me tell you this, if I were in their place and they in mine, it would be my sole, my sworn duty, to take your life myself, or find a man to do it" ~ The Supressed Truth About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln -quoting Chas. Chiniquy speaking to Abe Lincoln after the trial in Urbana May 23rd, 1853- (referring to the Jesuit Oath.) |
He tried to divert my
mind, at first, with a joke, "Sign this," said he, "it will be my warrant of death." But after I had
signed, he became more solemn, and said, "I know that Jesuits never forget nor
forsake. But man must not care how and where he dies, provided he dies at the
post of honour and duty," and he left me. ~Fifty Years
in the Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
The following quote backs up what Lincoln and Chiniquy feared: Charles
Sauvestre (as translated by Edwin A. Sherman) wrote "...In
whatever place of the Catholic world a Jesuit is insulted or resisted, no
matter how insignificant he may be, he is sure to be avenged, - and this we
know."
John Wilkes Booth-Act One
At this time, we introduce you to John Booth, a popular theatre actor, who was
not born a Roman Catholic but by 1860 had began to convert to that religion. In
1860, he was initiated into the Knights of the Golden Circle, a catholic lay
organization. The Knights of the Golden Circle "were committed to the preservation of slavery in the lands
bordering the Caribbean Sea--the so-called 'Golden Circle.' The seal of the
Knights featured a cross similar to the maltese cross used by the old Knights
of Malta." A book, published in 1866, called The Great Conspiracy tells us of this and quotes the following
excerpts of a letter from the hand of J.W. Booth to an unknown person, quite
possibly a Jesuit ally (whose return letters were only signed
"Veritas" which is "Truth" in Latin ... the language of the
Jesuit priests.).
|
"Dear Sir: The K.G.C. had a meeting; I was initiated.... They tell me that Lincoln, the damn chicken-hearted nigger lover, will perhaps be inaugerated, but I most heartily wish, 'That never shall sun that morrow see.' .... One thing is very clear to my mind, the South must take some decisive step. She must throw a bomb-shell into the enemy's hand that shall spread terror and consternation wherever it goes. You know what I mean, so don't be surprised. Sincerily yours, John Wilkes Booth." |
Chiniquy Tells of Jesuit Plot
WAR! The opening shot of the confederate rebellion rang out on April 12th,
1861; only one month after Lincoln was
proclaimed President of the United States, the 4th of March 1861. This
first shot on Fort Sumpter was fired by General Beauregard, who was a professed
Roman Catholic and came from a well known family of Jesuits. The Confederate
States of America were readied for war and their leader, Jefferson Davis had
been given the blessing of the Pope to be their new President. The papacy
wanted to destroy the American popular government and the "divide and
conquer" strategy was a tried and true tool. Also, the Catholic Church,
afterall, benefited enormously from the southern slave trade and had to protect
its vested interest from this talk of
potentially freeing the slaves in America..
An attempt on Lincoln's life had already been thwarted on his journey to
Philadelpia, via Baltimore, for his first inaguration. You see, Lincoln knew
that Washington was infiltrated by "traitors" to the government and
he wasted no time in rooting out these national assassins and replacing them
with men whom he trusted. The papacy could not have her plans derailed at this
stage of the game so a plot was devised to kill Lincoln on his stop over in
Baltimore. A professed Romanist man, an Italian barber by trade, was to
stab Lincoln with a dagger while seated in his carriage as it would be leaving
the station. This wicked plot was uncovered and Lincoln changed his itinerary,
taking an earlier train accompanied by William H. Pinkerton, head of the
detective agency of the same name. But this was only the first known attempt and it would, sadly and
assuredly, not be the last.
The next time Lincoln would see Chiniquy was in August of 1861. Chiniquy had
learned from a Roman Catholic priest, whom he had persuaded to leave the errors
of Popery, that there was a plot among the Jesuits to assassinate the President
and he went to see his friend to warn him.
Lincoln greeted him : "I am so glad to meet you again," he said: "you see that your friends, the Jesuits,
have not yet killed me. But they would have surely done it when I passed
through their most devoted city, Baltimore, had I not defeated their plans, by
passing incognito a few hours before they expected me. We have the
proof that the company which has been selected and organized to murder me was led by a rabid Roman Catholic, called
Byrne; it was almost entirely composed of Roman Catholics; more than that,
there were two disguised priests among them, to lead and encourage them. I am sorry to have so little time to
see you: but I will not let you go before telling you that, a few days ago, I saw Mr. Morse, the learned inventor of
electric telegraphy: he told me that when he was in Rome, not long ago, he
found out the proofs of a most formidable conspiracy against this country and
all its institutions. It is evident that it is to the intrigues and emissaries
of the Pope that we owe, in great part, the horrible evil war which is
threatening to cover the country with blood and ruins.
"I am
sorry that Professor Morse had to leave Rome before he could know more about
the secret plans of the Jesuits against the liberties and the very existence of
this country. But do you know that I want you to take his place and continue
that investigation? My plan is to attach you to my ambassador of France, as one
of the secretaries. In that honourable position you would go from Paris to
Rome, where you might find, through the directions of Mr. Morse, an opportunity
of re-uniting the broken threads of his researches. 'It takes a Greek to fight
a Greek.' As you have been twenty-five years a priest of Rome, I do not know
any man in the United States so well acquainted as you are with the tricks of the Jesuits, and
on the devotedness of whom I could better rely. And when, once on the staff of
my ambassador, even as one of the secretaries, might you not soon yourself
become the ambassador? I am in need of
Christian men in every department of the public service, but more in those high
positions. What do you think of that?"
"My dear
President," I answered, "I feel overwhelmed by your kindness. Surely
nothing could be more pleasant to me than to grant our request. The
honour you want to confer upon me is much above my merit: but my conscience
tells me that I cannot give up the
preaching of the Gospel to my poor French Canadian countrymen, who are still in
the errors of Popery. For I am about the only one who, by the
Providence of God, has any real influence over them. I am, surely, the only one
the bishops and priests seem to fear in that work. The many attempts they have
made to take away my life are a proof of it. Besides that, though I consider
the present President of the Unites States much above the Emperors of France,
Russia, and Austria, much above the greatest kings of the world, I feel that I
am the servant, the ambassador of One who is as much above even the good and
great President of the United States as the heavens are above the earth. I
appeal to your own Christian and honourable feelings to know if I can forsake
the one for the other."
The President became very solemn, and replied: "You are right! you are right! There is nothing so
great under heaven as to be the ambassador of Christ." ~Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
The Plot Thickens

"That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true" ~A. Lincoln -Year 1846, just prior to his election to the House of Representatives |
We continue
this first person account by Charles Chiniquy, friend of the President of the
Union:
...The next
day I was, at the appointed hour, with my noble friend, who said: "I could not give you more than ten minutes yesterday,
but I will give you twenty to-day. I want your views about a thing which is
exceedingly puzzling to me, and you are the only one to whom I like to speak on
that subject. A great number of
Democratic papers have been sent to me lately, evidently written by Roman
Catholics, publishing that I was born a Roman Catholic, and baptized by a
priest. They call me a renegade, an apostate, on account of that; and they
heap upon my head mountains of abuses. At first I laughed at that, for it
is a lie. Thanks be to God, I have never been a Roman Catholic. No priest
of Rome has ever laid his hand on my head. But the persistency of the Romish
press to present this falsehood to their readers as a gospel truth, must have a
meaning. Please tell me, as briefly as possible, what you think about
that."
"My dear
President," I answered, "it was just this strange story published
about you, which brought me here yesterday. I wanted to say a word about it;
but you were too busy. Let me tell you that I wept as a child when I read that
story for the first time. For, not only
my impression is that it is your sentence of death; but I have from the lips of
a converted priest, that it is in order to excite the fanaticism of the Roman
Catholic murderers, whom they hope to find sooner or later, to strike you down;
they have invented that false story of your being born in the Church of Rome,
and of your being baptized by a priest. They want, by that, to brand your face
with the ignominious mark of apostasy. Do not forget that, in the Church of
Rome, an apostate is an outcast, who has no place in society, and who has no
right to live.~Fifty Years in the Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy

Who could be simple enough not to admit that, when a tyrant has endangered a nation, all means are lawful to cast off his yoke." (The R. F. Jesuit Marianna-De Rege.) excerpted from Jesuitism Unvailed by Claude Pirat 1851 AD "It is of faith that the Pope has the right of deposing heretical and rebel kings. Monarchs so deposed by the Pope are converted into notorious tyrants, and may be killed by the first who can reach them. If the public cause cannot meet with its defense in the death of a tyrant, it is lawful for the first who arrives, to assassinate him."****Suarez, Defensio Fidei; Book VI. c. 4, Nos. 13, 14 "The Pope has the right to pronounce sentence of deposition against any sovereign when required by the good of the Spiritual Order."****Brownson's Review, 1849 |
Chiniquy continued "The
Jesuits want the Roman Catholics to believe that you are a monster, an open
enemy of God and of His Church, that you are an excommunicated man. For
every apostate is, ipso facto (by that very fact) excommunicated. I have
brought to you the theology of one of the most learned and approved of the
Jesuits of his time, Busembaum, who, with many others, say that the man who
will kill you will do a good and holy work. More than that, here is a copy
of a decree of Gregory VII., proclaiming that the killing of an apostate, or an
heretic and an excommunicated man, as you are declared to be, is not murder;
nay, that it is a good, a Christian action. That decree is incorporated in the
canon law, which every priest must study, and which every good Catholic must
follow.
"My dear
President, I must repeat to you here what I said when at Urbana in 1856. My fear is that you will fall under the
blows of a Jesuit assassin if you do not pay more attention than you have done,
till now, to protect yourself. Remember that because Coligny was an
heretic, as you are, he was brutally murdered in the St. Bartholomew night;
that Henry IV was stabbed by the Jesuit assassin, Revaillac, the 14th of May,
1610, for having given liberty of conscience to his people; and that William
the Taciturn was shot dead by another Jesuit murderer, called Girard, for
having broken the yoke of the Pope. The
Church of Rome is absolutely the same to-day as she was then; she does believe
and teach to-day, as then, that she has the right and that it is her duty to
punish by death any heretic who is in her way as an obstacle to her designs.
The unanimity with which the Catholic hierarchy of the United States is on the
side of the rebels is an incontrovertible evidence that Rome wants to destroy
this republic, and as you are, by your personal virtues, your popularity,
your love for liberty, your position, the greatest obstacle to the diabolical
schemes, their hatred is concentrated upon you; you are the daily object of
their maledictions; it is at your breast they will direct their blows. My blood chills in my veins when I
contemplate the day which may come, sooner or later, when Rome will add to all
her other iniquities the murder of Abraham Lincoln."
Lincoln replied "I will repeat to you what I said at
Urbana, when for the first time you told me your fears lest I would be
assassinated by the Jesuits: 'Man must not care where and when he will die,
provided he dies at the post of honour and duty.' But I may add, to-day, that I
have a presentiment that God will call me to Him through the hand of an
assassin. Let His will, and, not mine be done!" He then looked
at his watch and said, "I am sorry, that the twenty minutes I had
consecrated to our interview have almost passed away; I will be for ever
grateful for the warning words you have addressed to me about the dangers ahead
of my life, from Rome. I know that they are not imaginary dangers. If I were
fighting against a Protestant South, as a nation, there would be no danger of assassination.
The nations who read the Bible, fight bravely on the battle-fields, but they do
not assassinate their enemies. The Pope
and the Jesuits, with their infernal Inquisition, are the only organized powers
in the world which have recourse to the dagger of the assassin to murder those
whom they cannot convince with their arguments or conquer with the sword."
"Unfortunately, I feel more and more, every day,
that it is not against the Americans of the South, alone, I am fighting, it is
more against the Pope of Rome, his perfidious Jesuits and their blind and
blood-thirsty slaves, than against the real American Protestants, that we have
to defend ourselves. Here is the real danger of our position. So long as they
will hope to conquer the North, they will spare me; but the day we will rout
their armies (and that day will surely come, with the help of God), take their
cities, and force them to submit, then, it is my impression that the
Jesuits, who are the principal rulers of the South, will do what they have
almost invariably done in the past. The dagger, or the pistol of one of their
adepts, will do what the strong hands of the warriors could not achieve. This
civil war seems to be nothing but a political affair to those who do not see,
as I do, the secret springs of that terrible drama. But it is more a
religious than a civil war. It is Rome who wants to rule and degrade the North,
as she has ruled and degraded the South, from the very day of its discovery.
There are only very few of the Southern leaders who are not more or less under
the influence of the Jesuits, through their wives, family relations, and their
friends. Several members of the family of Jeff Davis belong to the Church of
Rome. Even the Protestant ministers are
under the influence of the Jesuits without suspecting it. To keep her ascendancy in the North,
as she does in the South, Rome is doing here what she has done in Mexico, and
in all the South American Republics; she is paralyzing, by a civil war, the
arms of the soldiers of Liberty. She divides our nation, in order to weaken,
subdue and rule it.
"Surely
we have some brave and reliable Roman Catholic officers and soldiers in our
armies, but they form an insignificant minority when compared with the Roman
Catholic traitors against whom we have to guard ourselves, day and night. The fact is, that the immense majority of
Roman Catholic bishops, priests and laymen, are rebels in heart, when they
cannot be in fact; with very few exceptions, they are publicly in favour of
slavery. I understand, now, why the patriots of France, who determined to
see the colours of Liberty floating over their great and beautiful country,
were forced to hand or shoot almost all the priests and the monks as the
irreconcilable enemies of Liberty. For
it is a fact, which is now evident to me, that, with very few exceptions, every
priest and every true Roman Catholic is a determined enemy of Liberty.
Their
extermination in France, was one of those terrible necessities which no human
wisdom could avoid; it looks to me now as an order from heaven to save France.
May God grant that the same terrible necessity be never felt in the United
States! But there is a thing which is very certain; it is, that if the American
people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the generality of the
priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights,
and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them away, to-morrow, from
among us, or they would shoot them as traitors. But I keep those sad secrets in
my heart; you are the only one to whom I reveal them, for I know that you
learned them before me. The history of
these last thousand years tells us that wherever the Church of Rome is not a
dagger to pierce the bosom of a free nation, she is a stone to her neck, and a
ball to her feet, to paralyze her, and prevent her advance in the ways of
civilization, science, intelligence, happiness and liberty. But I forget
that my twenty minutes are gone long ago. "Please accept my sincere thanks
for the new lights you have given me on the dangers of my position, and come
again. I will always see you with a new pleasure." ~Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy

" A tyrant may be killed by open force and arms. However, the best way is to use fraud and stratagem, in order to preserve the country from private and public dangers." (The R. F. Jesuit Malarianna.-Reg. Institut. Liber. 6. 1.) |

" It is of faith that the Pope has the right to dethrone the Kings who are heretics and rebels. But a monarch dethroned by the Pope is no longer either a King or a lawful Prince: if he refuses to obey the Pope after his degradation, then he must be styled a' tyrant,' and may be killed by the first comer-" (The R. F. Jesuit Suarez - Defensio fidei, Liber 6, caput 4.) |
Lincoln Proclaims Liberty Throughout
The Land
Many of those who approached Abraham
Lincoln felt that there was a prophetic spirit in him, and that he was continually walking and acting with
the thought of God in his mind, and only in view to do His will and work for
His glory. Speaking of the slaves, he said one day before the members of
his cabinet: "I have not decided against
a proclamation of liberty to the slaves, but I hold the matter under
advisement. And I can assure you that the subject is on my mind, by day and by
night, more than any other. Whatever
shall appear to be God's will, I will do."
A few days before that proclamation, he
said, before several of his counselors: "I made a solemn vow before God that if General Lee
was driven back from Pennsylvania, I would crown the result by the declaration
of freedom to the slaves." ~Fifty Years in the Church of Rome- Chas.
Chiniquy
Lincoln did honor his vow before God and man and on Jan 1, 1863 he delivered
the Emancipation Proclamation which subsequently freed the slaves in the south (in 1860 a census showed over 3 million slaves, and so
considering continued importatation and domestic procreation, the number of
slaves freed in 1863 was substantially greater than this, upward of 4 million.).
This action of liberating the slaves would economically be dangerous for the
South and for the Church to which they paid tribute in offerings and
collections. The Jesuits justified themselves, and the slaveowners of the
South, with statements like this: "Slavery does not constitute a crime before any law,
divine or human. What reason can we have for undermining the foundations of
slavery with the same zeal that ought always to animate us in overcoming evil?
When one thinks of the degradation in which the hordes of Africa live, the
slave trade may be considered a providential act, and we almost repudiate the
philanthropy which sees in a man but one thing- material liberty."
~The Doctrine of the Jesuits-by Gury. Truly, the Catholic Church's
wealth was derived largely from the financial gain, as it was in the Middle
Ages, by imposed serfdom upon others.
Lincoln was also thinking of taxing liqour heavily or even making it illegal.
This would have been a huge blow to the Catholic monasteries who turned out
over 25% of all alcohol produced in the U.S. at the time. This provided another
reason to target Abe for assassination.
Also the international bankers , the Rothschild's,(interacting very closely
with the vatican) wanted Abraham Lincoln killed because of his monetary policies.
Lincoln needed money to finance the Civil War and he was offered loans at high
interest rates by bankers in Europe led by the Rothschilds. The Rothschild's
have funded many a war since - the bankers are the only winners in such wars.
Rather than accept the loans, Lincoln found other means to fund the war effort-
even creating U.S. greenbacks. (More importantly, the British bankers opposed
Lincoln's protectionist policies. Some Englishmen in the 1860's believed that
"British free trade, industrial monopoly and human slavery travel
together." Lincoln's policies after the Civil War would have destroyed the
Rothschilds' commodity speculations. After the war, Lincoln planned a mild
Reconstruction policy which would have enabled a resumption of agriculture
production. The Rothschilds were betting the other way on high prices caused by
a tough Reconstruction policy toward the South. The goal was to weaken the
United States so the Rothschilds, with the leadership of the American
Illuminati, could takeover its economy. )

" A man condemned by the Pope may be killed anywhere." (The R. F. Jesuit Lacroix - vol. 1, p. 294.) " We may kill anywhere a man proscribed by the Pope, because the Pope has at least an indirect jurisdiction over all the world, even in temporal things." (The R. F. Jesuit Busembaum- Theologia Moralis.) |
The Pope Marks Lincoln for Death
The Pope, at this time, in Rome was Pius IXth (1846-78). Pius was the first
Pope to officially declare himself to be 'infallible'. He also was very
close to the General of the Jesuits, also called the Black Pope, who at this
time was Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli. Pius was on very good terms with Jeff
Davis and wrote him acknowledging him with such titles as "honorable Mr.
President" - titles which showed his approval of the Confederates States
of America as a sovereign entity and Davis as its leader.
On June 10th, 1864, Lincoln took Chiniquy for a
ride in his carriage to talk inbetween his visits to the thirty thousand
wounded soldiers picked up on the battle-fields of the seven days' battle of
the Wilderness, and the thirty days' battle around Richmond. The only thought
which seemed to occupy the mind of the President was the part which Rome had in
that horrible struggle. Chiniquy tells us that Abraham Lincoln said the following words more than once:
"This war would never have been possible without the
sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to Popery that we now see our land
reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of
opinion between the South and the North, on the question of slavery, neither
Jeff Davis nor any one of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared
to attack the North, had they not relied on the promises of the Jesuits, that
under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholic, even
the arms of France, were at their disposal, if they would attack us. I pity the
priests, the bishops and the monks of Rome in the United States, when the
people realize that they are, in great part, responsible for the tears and the
blood shed in this war; the later the more terrible will the retribution be.
I conceal what I know, on that
subject, from the knowledge of the nation; for if the people knew the whole
truth, this war would turn into a religious war, and it would, at once, take a
tenfold more savage and bloody character, it would become merciless as all
religious wars are. It would become a war of extermination on both sides. The
Protestants of both the North and the South would surely unite to exterminate
the priests and the Jesuits, if they could hear what Professor Morse has
said to me of the plots made in the very city of Rome to destroy this Republic,
and if they could learn how the priests, the nuns, and the monks, which daily
land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, instructing
the people in their schools, taking care of the sick in the hospitals, are
nothing else but the emissaries of the Pope, of Napoleon, and the other despots
of Europe, to undermine our institutions, alienate the hearts of our people
from our constitution, and our laws, destroy our schools, and prepare a reign
of anarchy here as they have done in Ireland, in Mexico, in Spain, and wherever
there are any people who want to be free, ect."
When the
President was speaking thus, we arrived at the door of his mansion. He invited
me to go with him to his study, and said: "Though
I am very busy, I must rest an hour with you. I am in need of that rest. My
head is aching, I feel as crushed under the burden on affairs which are on my
shoulders. There are many important things about the plots of the Jesuits that
I can learn only from you. Please wait just a moment, I have just received some
dispatches from General Grant, to which I must give an answer. My secretary is
waiting for me. I go to him. Please amuse yourself with those books, during my
short absence."
Twenty-five
minutes later, the President had returned, with his face flushed with joy. "Glorious news! General Grant has again beaten Lee,
and forced him to retreat towards Richmond, when he will have to surrender
before long. Grant is a real hero. But let us come to the question I want to
put to you. Have you read the letter of
the Pope to Jeff Davis, and what do you think of it?"
"My dear
President," I answered, "it is just that letter which brought me to
your presence again, the day before yesterday. I wanted to come and see you,
from the very day I read it. But I knew you were so overwhelmed with the
affairs of your government, that I would not be able to see you. However, the
anxieties of my mind were so, that I
determined to go over every barrier to warn you again against the new dangers
and plots which I knew would come out from that perfidious letter, against your
life.
"That letter is a poisoned arrow thrown by
the Pope, at you personally; and it will be more than a miracle if it be not
your irrevocable warrant of death. Before reading it, it is true that every
Catholic could see by the unanimity of the bishops siding with the rebel cause,
that their church as a whole, was against this free Republican government.
However, a good number of liberty-loving Irish, German and French Catholics,
following more the instincts of their noble nature, than the degrading
principles of their church, enrolled themselves under the banners of Liberty,
and they have fought like heroes. To detach these men from the rank and file of
the Northern armies, and force them to help the cause of the rebellion, because
the object of the intrigues of the Jesuits. Secret and pressing letters
were addressed from Rome to the bishops, ordering them to weaken your armies by
detaching those men from you. The bishops answered, that they could not do that
without exposing themselves to be shot. But
they advised the Pope to acknowledge, at once, the legitimacy of the Southern
Republic, and to take Jeff Davis under his supreme protection, by a letter,
which would be read everywhere.
"That letter, then, tells logically the Roman
Catholics that you are a blood-thirsty tyrant! a most execrable being when
fighting against a government which the infallible and holy Pope of Rome recognizes
as legitimate. The Pope, by this letter, tells his blind slaves that you
are an infamous usurper, when considering yourself the President of the
Southern States; that you are outraging the God of heaven and earth, by
continuing such a sanguinary war to subdue a nation over whom God Almighty has
declared, through His infallible pontiff, the Pope, that you have not the least
right: that letter means that you will give an account to God and man for the
blood and tears you cause to flow in order to satisfy your ambition.
"By this letter of the Pope to Jeff Davis you are
not only an apostate, as you were thought before, whom every man had the right
to kill, according to the canonical laws of Rome; but you are more vile,
criminal and cruel than the horse thief, the public banditti, and the lawless
brigand, robber and murderer, whom it is a duty to stop and kill, when we take
them in their acts of blood, and that there is no other way to put an end to
their plunders and murders.
"And, my
dear President, the meaning I give you of this perfidious letter of the Pope to
Jeff Davis, is not a fancy imagination on my part, it is the unanimous explanation given me by a great number of the
priests of Rome, with whom I have had occasion to speak on that subject. In
the name of God, and in the name of our dear country, which is in so much need
of your services, I conjure you to pay more attention to protect your precious
life, and not continue to expose it as you have done till now."
~Fifty Years
in the Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
Lincoln Witnesses To Us About Popery
The President
listened to my words with breathless attention. He replied; "You confirm me in the views I had taken of the
letter of the Pope. Professor Morse is of the same mind with you. It is, indeed,
the most perfidious act which could occur under present circumstances. You are
perfectly correct when you say that it was to detach the Roman Catholics who
had enrolled themselves in our armies. Since the publication of that letter, a
great number of them have deserted their banners and turned traitors; very few,
comparatively, have remained true to their oath of fidelity. It is, however,
very lucky that one of those few, Sheridan, is worth a whole army by his
ability, his patriotism and his heroic courage. It is true, also, that Meade
has remained with us, and gained the bloody battle of Gettysburg. But how could
he lose it, when he was surrounded by such heroes as Howard, Reynolds, Buford,
Wadsworth, Cutler, Slocum, Sickes, Hancock, Barnes, ect. But it is evident that
his Romanism superseded his patriotism after the battle. He let the army of Lee
escape, when it was so easy to cut his retreat and force him to surrender,
after having lost nearly the half of his soldiers in the last three days'
carnage.
"When
Meade was to order the pursuit, after the battle, a stranger came, in haste, to
the headquarters, and that stranger was a
disguised Jesuit. After a ten minutes' conversation with him, Meade made
such arrangements for the pursuit of the enemy, that he escaped almost
untouched, with the loss of only two guns!
"You re
right," continued the President,
"when you say that this letter of the Pope has
entirely changed the nature and the ground of the war. Before they read it, the
Roman Catholics could see that I was fighting against Jeff Davis and his
Southern Confederacy. But now, they must believe that it is against Christ and
His "holy vicar", the Pope, that I am raising my sacrilegious hands;
we have the daily proofs that their indignation, their hatred, their malice,
against me, are a hundredfold intensified. New
projects of assassination are detected almost every day, accompanied with
such savage circumstances, that they bring to my memory the massacre of the St.
Bartholomew and the Gunpowder Plot. We
feel, at their investigation, that they come from the same masters in the art
of murder, the Jesuits.
"The New
York riots were evidently a Romish plot from beginning to end. We have the
proofs in hand that they were the work of Bishop Hughes and his emissaries. No
doubt can remain in the minds of the most incredulous about the bloody attempts
of Rome to destroy New York, when we know the easy way it was stopped. I wrote
to Bishop Hughes, telling him that the whole country would hold him responsible
for it if he would not stop it at once. He then gathered the rioters around his
palace, called them his 'dear friends,' invited them to go back home
peacefully, and all was finished! so Jupiter of old used to raise a storm and
stop it with a nod of his head!
"From the beginning of our civil war, there has
been, not a secret, but a public alliance, between the Pope of Rome and Jeff
Davis, and that alliance has followed the common laws of this world affairs. The greater
has led the smaller, the stronger has guided the weaker. The Pope and his Jesuits have advised, supported, and directed Jeff
Davis on the land, from the first gun shot at Fort Sumter, by the rabid Roman
Catholic Beauregard. They are helping him on the sea by guiding and
supporting the other rabid Roman Catholic pirate, Semmes, on the ocean. And
they will help the rebellion when firing their last gun to shed the blood of
the last soldier of Liberty, who will fall in this fratricidal war. In my
interview with Bishop Hughes, I told him, 'that every stranger who had sworn
allegiance to our government by becoming a United States citizen, as himself,
was liable to be shot or hung as a perjured traitor and an armed spy, as the
sentence of the court-martial may direct. And he will be so shot and hanged
accordingly, as there will be no exchange of such prisoners'. After I had put
this flea in the ears of the Romish bishop, I requested him to go and report my
words to the Pope. Seeing the dangerous position of his bishops and priests
when siding with the rebels, my hope was that he would advise them, for their
own interests, to become loyal and true to their allegiance and help us through
the remaining part of the war. But he result has been the very contrary. The Pope has thrown away the mask, and
shown himself the public partisan and the protector of the rebellion, by taking
Jeff Davis by the hand, and impudently recognizing the Southern States as a
legitimate government.
Now, I
have the proof in hand that that very Bishop Hughes, whom I had sent to
Rome that he might induce the Pope to urge the Roman Catholics of the North at
least, to be true to their oath of allegiance, and whom I thanked publicly,
when, under the impression that he had acted honestly, according to the promise
he had given me, is the very man who advised the Pope to recognize the
legitimacy of the Southern Republic, and put the whole weight of his tiara in
the balance against us in favour of our enemies! Such is the perfidy of those
Jesuits. Two cankers are biting the very
entrails of the United States to-day: the Romish and the Mormon priests. Both
are equally at work to form a people of the most abject, ignorant and fanatical
slaves, who will recognize no other authority but their supreme pontiffs. Both
are aiming at the destruction of our schools, to raise themselves upon our
ruins. Both shelter themselves under our grand and holy principles of liberty
of conscience, to destroy that very liberty of conscience, and bind the world
before their heavy and ignominious yoke. The Mormon and the Jesuit priests are
equally the uncompromising enemies of our constitution and our laws; but the
more dangerous of the two is the Jesuits - the Romish priest, for he knows
better now to conceal his hatred under the mask of friendship and public good:
he is better trained to commit the most cruel and diabolical deeds for the
glory of God. "Till lately, I was in favour of the unlimited liberty
of conscience as our constitution gives it to the Roman Catholics. But now, it
seems to me that, sooner or later, the people will be forced to put a
restriction to that clause towards the Papists. Is it not an act of folly to
give absolute liberty of conscience to a set of men who are publicly sworn to
cut our throats the very day they have their opportunity for doing it? It is right to give the privilege of
citizenship to men who are the sworn and public enemies of our constitution,
our laws, our liberties, and our lives?
"The
very moment that Popery assumed the right of life and death on a citizen of
France, Spain, Germany, England, or the United States, it assumed to be the
power, the government of France, Spain, England, Germany, and the United
States. Those States then committed a suicidal act by allowing Popery to put a
foot on their territory with the privilege of citizenship. The power of life
and death is the supreme power, and two supreme powers cannot exist on the same
territory without anarchy, riots, bloodshed, and civil wars without end. When
Popery will give up the power of life and death which it proclaims on its own
divine power, in all its theological books and canon laws, then, and then
alone, it can be tolerated and can receive the privileges of citizenship in a
free country.
"Is it
not an absurdity to give to a man a thing which he is sworn to hate, curse, and
destroy? And does not the Church of Rome
hate, curse, and destroy liberty of conscience whenever she can do it safely? I
am for liberty of conscience in its noblest, broadest, highest sense. But I
cannot give liberty of conscience to the Pope and to his followers, the
Papists, so long as they tell me, through all their councils, theologians, and
canon laws, that their conscience orders them to burn my wife, strangle my
children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity! This does not
seem to be understood by the people to-day. But sooner or later, the light of
common sense will make it clear to every one that no liberty of conscience can
be granted to men who are sworn to obey a Pope, who pretends to have the right
to put to death those who differ from him religion.
"You are not the first to warn me against the
dangers of assassination. My ambassadors in Italy, France, and England, as well
as Professor Morse, have many times warned me against the plots of the
murderers which they have detected in those different countries. But I see no
other safeguard against those murderers but to be always ready to die, as
Christ advises it. As we must all die sooner or later, it makes very little
difference to me whether I die from a dagger plunged through the heart or from
an inflammation of the lungs. Let me tell you that I have lately read a passage
in the Old Testament which has made a profound, and, I hope, a salutary
impression on me. Here is that passage." The President took his Bible,
opened it at the third chapter of Deuteronomy, and read from the 22nd to the
28th verse:-
"Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God He shall
fight for you. And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, O Lord God, Thou
hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness and Thy mighty hand; for what God
is there, in heaven or in earth, that can do according to Thy works, and
according to Thy might! I pray Thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with
me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it
suffice thee: speak no more unto Me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of
Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and
eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this
Jordan."
After the
President had read these words with great solemnity, he added: "My dear
Father Chiniquy, let me tell you that I have read these strange and beautiful
verses several times these last five or six weeks. The more I read them, the
more it seems to me that God has written them for me as well as for Moses. Has
He not taken me from my poor log cabin by the hand, as He did of Moses in the
reeds of the Nile, to put me at the head of the greatest and the most blessed
of modern nations, just as He put that prophet at the head of the most blessed
nation of ancient times? Has not God granted me a privilege which was not
granted to any living man, when I broke the fetters of 4,000,000 of men and made
them free? Has not our God given me the most glorious victories over our
enemies? Are not the armies of the Confederacy so reduced to a handful of men
when compared to what they were two years ago, that the day is fast approaching
when they will have to surrender?
"Now, I
see the end of this terrible conflict, with the same joy of Moses, when, at the
end of his trying forty years in the wilderness; and I pray my God to grant me
to see the days of peace, and untold prosperity, which will follow this cruel war,
as Moses asked God to see the other side of Jordan and enter the Promised Land.
But do you know that I hear in my soul, as the voice of God, giving me the
rebuke which was given to Moses?
"Yes!
every time that my soul goes to God to ask the favour of seeing the other side
of Jordan, and eating the fruits of that peace, after which I am longing with
such an unspeakable desire, do you know
that there is a still, but solemn voice, which tells me that I will see those
things, only from a long distance, and that I will be among the dead, when the
nation which God granted me to lead through those awful trials, will cross the
Jordan, and dwell in that Land of Promise, where peace, industry, happiness,
and liberty, will make every one happy; and why so? Because He has already
given me favours which He never gave, I dare say, to any man, in these latter
days.
"Why did
God Almighty refuse to Moses the favour of crossing the Jordan, and entering
the Promised Land? It was on account of
his own nations's sins! That law of divine retribution and justice, by
which one must suffer for another, is surely a terrible mystery. But it is a
fact which no man who has any intelligence and knowledge can deny. Moses, who
knew that law, though he probably did not understand it better than we do,
calmly says to his people, 'God was wroth with me for your sakes.'
"But
though we do not understand that mysterious and terrible law, we find it
written in letters of tears and blood wherever we go. We do not read a single
page of history, without finding undeniable traces of its existence.
"Where is the mother who has not shed tears and suffered real tortures,
for her children's sake? "Who is the good king, the worthy emperor, the
gifted chieftain, who have not suffered unspeakable mental agonies, or even
death, for their people's sake? "Is
not our Christian religion the highest expression of the wisdom, mercy, and
love of God! But what is Christianity if not the very incarnation of that
eternal law of divine justice in our humanity?
"When I
look on Moses, alone, silently dying on the Mount Pisgah, I see that law, in
one of its most sublime human manifestations, and I am filled with admiration
and awe. "But when I consider that law of justice, and expiation in the
death of the Just, the divine Son of Mary, on the mountain of Calvary, I remain
mute in my adoration. The spectacle of that crucified one which is before my
eyes, is more than sublime, it is divine! Moses
died for his people's sake, but Christ died for the whole world's sake! Both
died to fulfill the same eternal law of the divine justice, though in a
different measure.
"Now would it not be the greatest of honours and
privileges bestowed upon me, if God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom,
would put me between His faithful servant, Moses, and His eternal Son, Jesus,
that I might die as they did, for my nation's sake!
"My God alone knows what I have already suffered for
my dear country's sake. But my fear is that the justice of God is not yet paid.
When
I look upon the rivers of tears and blood drawn by the lashes of the merciless
masters from the veins of the very heart of those millions of defenseless
slaves, these two hundred years. When I remember the agonies, the cries, the
unspeakable tortures of those unfortunate people, at which I have, to some
extent, connived with so many others, a part of my life, I feel that we are
still far from the complete expiation. For
the judgments of God are true and righteous.
"It seems to me that the Lord wants, to-day, as He
wanted in the days of Moses, another victim - a victim which he has himself
chosen, anointed and prepared for the sacrifice, by raising it above the rest
of His people. I cannot conceal from you that my impression is that I am that
victim. So many plots
have already been made against my life, that it is a real miracle that they
have all failed, when we consider that the great majority of them were in the
hands of skillful Roman Catholic murderers, evidently trained by Jesuits. But
can we expect that God will make a perpetual miracle to save my life? I believe
not. The Jesuits are so expert in those deeds of blood, that Henry IV. said
that it was impossible to escape them, and he became their victim, though he
did all that could be done to protect himself. My escape from their hands,
since the letter of the Pope to Jeff Davis has sharpened a million of daggers
to pierce my breast, would be more than a miracle.
"But
just as the Lord heard no murmur from the lips of Moses when He told him that
he had to die, before crossing the Jordan, for the sins of his people; so I
hope and pray that He will hear no murmur from me when I fall for my nations's
sake. "The only two favours I ask
of the Lord are, first, that I may die for the sacred cause in which I am
engaged, and when I am the standard bearer of the rights and liberties of my
country. "The second favour I ask of God is, that my dear son, Robert,
when I am gone, will be one of those who lift us that flag of Liberty which
will cover my tomb, and carry it with honour and fidelity, to the end of his
life, as his father did, surrounded by the millions who will be called with him
to fight and die for the defense and honour of our country."
Never had I
heard such sublime words: Never had I seen a human face so solemn and so
prophet-like as the face of the President, when uttering these things.
Every sentence had come to me as a hymn from heaven, reverberated by the echoes
of the mountains of Pisgah and Calvary. I was beside myself. Bathed in tears, I
tried to say something, but I could not utter a word.
Every time I
met President Lincoln I wondered how such elevation of thought and such
childish simplicity could be found in the same man. After my interviews with
him many times, I said to myself: "How can this rail-splitter have so easily
raised himself to the highest range of human thought and philosophy?"
The secret of this was, that Lincoln had spent a great
part of his life at the school of Christ, and that he meditated his sublime
teachings to an extent unsuspected by the world. I found in him the most
perfect type of Christianity I ever met. Professedly, he was neither a strict
Presbyterian, nor a Baptist, nor a Methodist; but he was the embodiment of all
which is more perfect and Christian in them. His religion was the very essence
of what God wants in man. It was from Christ Himself he had learned to love
God and his neighbour, as it was from Christ he had learned the dignity and the
value of man. "Ye are all brethren, the children of God," was his
great motto.
It was
from the Gospel that he had learned his principles of equality, fraternity, and
liberty, as it was from the Gospel he had learned that sublime, childish
simplicity which, alone, and for ever, won the admiration and affection of all
those who approached him. ~Fifty Years in the
Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
More than
once I felt as if I [Chiniquy] were in the
presence of an old prophet, when listening to his views about the future
destinies of the United States. In one of my last interviews with him, I was
filled with an admiration which it would be difficult to express, when I heard
the following views and predictions:
"It is
with the Southern leaders of this civil war as with the big and small wheels of
our railroad cars. Those who ignore the laws of mechanics are apt to think that
the large, strong, and noisy wheels they see are the motive power, but they are
mistaken. The real motive power is not
seen; it is noiseless and well concealed in the dark, behind its iron walls. The
motive power are the few well-concealed pails of water heated into steam, which
is itself directed by the noiseless, small but unerring engineer's finger.
"The
common people see and hear the big, noisy wheels of the Southern Confederacy's
cars; they call they Jeff Davis, Lee, Toombs, Beauregard, Semmes, ect., and
they honestly think that they are the motive power, the first cause of our
troubles. But this is a mistake. The
true motive power is secreted behind the thick walls of the Vatican, the
colleges and schools of the Jesuits, the convents of the nuns, and the
confessional boxes of Rome.
"There
is a fact which is too much ignored by the American people, and with which I am
acquainted only since I became President; it is that the best, the leading
families of the South have received their education in great part, if not in
whole, from the Jesuits and the nuns. Hence those degrading principles
of slavery, pride, cruelty, which are as a second nature among so many of those
people. Hence that strange want of fair play, humanity; that implacable hatred
against the ideas of equality and liberty as we find them in the Gospel of
Christ. You do not ignore that the first settlers of Louisiana, Florida, New
Mexico, Texas, South California and Missouri were Roman Catholics, and that
their first teachers were Jesuits. It is true that those states have been
conquered or bought by us since. But Rome had put the deadly virus of her
anti-social and anti-Christian maxims into the veins of the people before they
became American citizens. Unfortunately, the Jesuits and the nuns have in great
part remained the teachers of those people since. They have continued in a
silent, but most efficacious way, to spread their hatred against our
institutions, our laws, our schools, our rights and our liberties in such a way
that this terrible conflict became unavoidable between the North and the South.
As I told you before, it is to Popery
that we owe this terrible civil war.
"I would
have laughed at the man who would have told me that before I became the
President. But Professor Morse has opened my eyes on that subject. And now I
see that mystery; I understand that engineering of hell which, though not seen
or even suspected by the country, is putting in motion the large, heavy, and
noisy wheels of the state cars of the Southern Confederacy. Our people is not yet ready to learn and
believe those things, and perhaps it is not the proper time to initiate them to
those dark mysteries of hell; it would throw oil on a fire which is already
sufficiently destructive.
"You are
almost the only one with whom I speak freely on that subject. But sooner or
later the nation will know the real origin of those rivers of blood and tears,
which are spreading desolation and death everywhere. And then those who have
caused those desolations and disasters will be called to give an account of
them.
"I do not pretend to be a prophet. But though not a
prophet, I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is
coming from Rome. It is filled with tears of blood. It will rise and
increase till its flanks will be torn by a flash of lightning, followed by a
fearful peal of thunder. Then a cyclone, such as the world has never seen, will
pass over this country, spreading ruin and desolation from north to south.
After it is over, there will be long days of peace and prosperity: for Popery,
with its Jesuits and merciless Inquisition, will have been for ever swept away
from our country. Neither I nor you, but our children, will see those
things."~Fifty Years in the Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
In some ways, Abraham Lincoln was a man after God's own heart. He knew of the
evils of Popery and the wicked Jesuits but he withheld this information from
the public to prevent further death from an escalated war. He also foresaw
the wickedness of Rome becoming a terrible problem in the latter days.
|
"Undoubtedly it is the intention of the Pope to possess this country. In this intention he is aided by the Jesuits, and all the Catholic prelates and priests."*Brownson's Review, May, 1864. |
John Wilkes Booth-Act Two
In March of the year 1865, Booth became an official Roman Catholic, receiving
the unholy sacraments directly from Archbishop Spaulding of Baltimore. Now
the timing was right for the dirty deed. Lincoln was accused, through Jesuit
intrigue, to be a heretical leader, a man deserving of death. Three weeks after
outwardly becoming a Roman Catholic Booth was ready to fulfill those orders.
|
"I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ"~Excerpt from The Jesuit Oath "If the Holy Church so requires, let us sacrifice our own opinions, our knowledge, our intelligence, the splendid dreams of our imagination and the sublime attainments of human understanding."****Pope Gregory XVI., Encyclical, August 15th, 1832. This lack of will or mental vacuity opens up a person, beyond demonic influence, to actual demon possession.~Truth On The Web Ministries |
Lincoln's Last Days
On the 6th of April, 1865, President Lincoln was invited by General Grant to
enter the captured capital of the South, Richmond. The beaten armies of Lee
were forced to lay down their arms and their banners at the feet of the
generals of Lincoln. After five long bloody years the war was finally over ....
eight days later, the great Christian President would be shot dead by the arm
of the Roman Catholic Church.
John Wilkes Booth-Act Three: The
Final Scene
On the 14th of April, 1865, the President of the United States and his
wife attended a performance of the humorous 'Our American Cousin'. Nothing but
a tool of the Jesuits, the assassin, Booth, murdered Lincoln in Ford's Theatre,
at ten o'clock p.m. during the second scene of the third act of the play.
The newspapers of the time qouted Booth as uttering the latin phrase "sic temper tyrannis"["Thus always to tyrants" ...
which is the Virginia State Motto ... and a fulfillment of the Jesuit
Oath]. Booth lept to the stage and broke his leg (fibula) upon impact. He left
town on horseback followed by another co-conspirator, David Herold.
<Reward poster &
Booth>
The chase
went on for nearly two weeks until calvalry officers caught up with Booth
outside Port Royal. He was holed up in the barn/storagehouse of the Garrett
Farm. After setting the barn afire, one of the soldiers fired a single shot to
Booth's head. Booth expired in great agony on the 26th of April, twelve days
after the commission of his crime.
The Conspiracy Unfurls
At the precise same time as Booth's murderous assault on Lincoln, a
co-conspirator named Lewis Payne, a son of a Protestant minister, had brutally
attacked Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Seward, wounding him badly.
General Grant and Vice President Andy Johnson were also said to be marked for
death at the exact same time.
On the evening of the 13th, a man appeared at
Secretary Stanton's house where General Grant was that evening, had asked to
have both General Grant and Secretary Stanton pointed out to him which was
done. He did not speak to either of them, and lingered in the hall watching
them and sat down on a step of the front steps until he was driven away.
Grant's would-be-attacker, Irish-Catholic Michael O'Laughlin, could not
accomplish his task because Grant had changed his plans at the last moment due
to an ill family member. Earlier in the evening of the 14th, Booth had called
at the Kirkwood House, where Vice-President Johnson was stopping, and left a
card on which was written: "Don't
wish to disturb you. Are you at home? J. Wilkes Booth." ( Due to
this, it is not known if the Johnson attempt was just a ruse to cover up any
possibility of his being implicated in the conspiracy.) Johnson's
appointed assassin, professed Catholic George Atzerodt, said he became
frightened and stayed home rather than perpetrate the dastardly deed.
Later, among other testimony, Atzerodt's confession would expose the
conspiracy further.
Payne Atzerodt Herold
A small red book, which was actually an 1864 appointment book kept as a diary, was found on the body of John Wilkes Booth on April 26, 1865. The day before he died John Wilkes Booth had written in his daily memoirs: "I can never repent, though we hated to kill. Our country owed all her troubles to him (Lincoln), and God simply made me the instrument of his punishment." Compare this with John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
|
"...For six months we had worked to capture, but our cause being almost lost, something decisive and great must be done. But its failure was owing to others, who did not strike for their country with a heart. I struck boldly, and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through a thousand of his friends, was stopped, but pushed on. A colonel was at his side. I shouted Sic semper before I fired. In jumping broke my leg. I passed all his pickets, rode sixty miles that night with the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at every jump. I can never repent it, though we hated to kill. Our country owed all her troubles to him, and God simply made me the instrument of his punishment.... "~ J.W. Booth, in his daily memoirs, April 1865 |
Charles
Chiniquy had later cried out to an unlistening public: "And, after twenty years of constant
and most difficult researches, I came fearlessly to-day before the American
people, to say and prove that the President,
Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated by the priests and the Jesuits of Rome."
~Fifty Years
in the Church of Rome- Chas. Chiniquy
The Conspirators
We still have historical proof in the book of the
testimonies given in the trial published by Ben Pitman, and in the two volumes
of the trial of John Surratt, in 1867. By the documentation of the trials, we
have the legal (and irrefutable) proof that the plot of the assassins of
Lincoln was fostered in the house of Mary Surratt, No. 561, H. Street,
Washington City, D.C. The sworn testimonies show that this house was the
common rendezvous of the priests of
Washington. Several priests confessed
that they were going there although could not recall how often. This
house sometimes held over ten priests at a time. One of them, less on his
guard, swore that he seldom passed before that house without entering; and he
said he never passed less than once a week. The devoted Roman Catholic
(ex-Protestant and Jesuit professor of Gonzaga College ), Louis J. Weichman,
and local priests Father Wiget and Father Lahiman admit that they were living
with Mrs. Surratt in the same house!
The method of operation reeks heavily of Jesuitism. -
Read the history of the assassination of
Admiral Coligny, Henry III. and Henry IV., and William the Taciturn, by the
hired assassins of the Jesuits; compare them with the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, and you will find that one resembles the others exactly. You will also
understand that they all come from the same source, Rome! In all those murders, you will find that
the murderers, selected and trained by the Jesuits, were of the most exalted
Roman Catholic piety, living in the company of priests, going to confess very
often, receiving the communion the day before, if not the very day of the
murder. You will see in all those horrible deeds of hell, prepared behind
the dark walls of the holy inquisition, that the assassins were considering
themselves as the chosen instruments of God, to save the nations by striking
its tyrant; that they firmly believed that there was no sin in killing the
enemy of the people of the holy church, and of the infallible Pope!~ ~Fifty Years in the Church of Rome- Chas.
Chiniquy
A letter was found in Lincoln's files and used as a court exhibit. It showed
that other attempts were made upon Lincoln's life by this conspiracy group and
that the Jesuit methods were to be employed. The letter was dropped by Booth in
a train car, and sent by an eyewitness to the President who wrote upon it
'Assassination" and filed it away on November 17th 1864. It read as
follows:
|
Dear Louis
(Weichman): The time has come at last that we have all
so, wished for, and upon you everything depends. As it was decided before you
left, we were to cast lots, we accordingly did so, and you are to be the
Charlotte Corday of the Nineteenth Century. When you remember the fearful
solemn vow that was taken by us, you will feel there is no drawback. Abe must die, and now. You can choose
your weapons, the cup, the knife, the bullet. The cup failed us once
and might again. Johnson, who will give this has been like an
enraged demon since the meeting, because it has not fallen to him to rid the
world of a monster.......You know where to find your friends. Your disguises are so perfect and
complete that without noone knew your face no police telegraphic despatch
would catch you. The English gentleman Harcourt, must not act hastily.
Remember, he has ten days. Strike for your home; strike for your country;
bide your time, but strike sure. Get introduced, congratulate him; listen to
his stories (not many more will the brute tell to earthly friends;) do
anything but fail, and meet us at the appointed place within the fortnight.
You will probably hear from me in Washington. Sanders is doing us no good in
Canada. ' ------------------------------------------------------- SEE HOW THIS COINCIDES WITH THIS EXCERPT OF THE JESUIT OATH: ...I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.... |
The letter
not only reeks of the Jesuit Oath it actually admits that they tried to poison
Abe once before! And it just so happens that conspirator Davy Herold was a drug
clerk - proficient in the modern sorcery of pharmacy poisons. Booth also
intended to use the knife (poniard) during Lincoln's second inauguration and
was present but did not follow through ... he finally succeeeded with the .44
caliber leaden bullet.
Further Evidence of Religious Undertones
"I mention, as an exceptional and remarkable fact,
that every conspirator, in custody, is by education a Catholic."
U.S. General Baker-patriot
- Some circumstantial evidence: After spending many years in a Catholic prep school and two years in a Jesuit college, John Surrat studied to be in the Roman priesthood for three years at a Jesuit monastery. After the assassanation he was confirmed to be in the military service of the Pope in Rome, which was led by the General of the Jesuits or the so-called Black Pope( at that time Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli). Weichmann was a Jesuit professor. Herold graduated from the Jesuit college at Georgetown. Samuel Mudd, the doctor who splinted Booth's broken leg was a Catholic who met Booth at a Mass. The conspirators were all part of or connected to The Knights of the Golden Circle. When he was shot, John Wilkes Booth was wearing a Catholic medallion which said in the Latin language of the priests "Agnus Dei", meaning Lamb of God, which signified the "sacrifice", the shedding of blood, which he would offer the Pope and the Catholic citizens in America. It is interesting to note that, upon Lincoln's death, numerous letters of condolence were sent to the U.S. Government from every civilized nation in the world ... except the Papal States of Rome and the Pope.
- Here is an excerpt of a court affidavit of one Henri De Sainte Marie who taught at the Jesuit Gorganza College with Weichmann : " I was acquainted with Louis J. Weichman and John H. Surratt .... After some conversation we spoke of ... the assassination of President Lincoln, and these were his (Surratt's) words: 'Damn Yankees, they have killed my mother; but I have done them as much harm as I could. We have killed Lincoln, the nigger's friend. had it not been for me and that coward Weichmann, my mother would be living yet. It was fear that made him speak.' ... He says he can get money in Rome anytime. I believe he is protected by the clergy and that the murder is the result of a deep laid plot, not only against the life of President Lincoln but against the existence of the republic, as we are aware that priesthood and royalty are and always have been opposed to liberty. that such men as Surratt, Booth, Weichmann and others of their own accord planned and executed the infernal plot which resulted in the death of President Lincoln is impossible. There are others behind the curtain who have pulled the strings to make these scoundrels act..."
In 1897
Thomas M. Harris, a member of the 1865 military commission, wrote a book
entitled Rome's Responsibility for the
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln detailing the played down role of the
Vatican in this murder. The great,
the fatal mistake of the American Government in the prosecution of the
assassins of Abraham Lincoln was to constantly keep out of sight the religious
element of that terrible drama. Nothing would have been more easy, then,
than to find out the complicity of the priests, who were not only coming every
week and every day, but who were even living in that den of murderers. But this
was carefully avoided from the beginning to the end of the trial.
Let our prime witness, Charles Chiniquy, back this up: "When, not long
after the execution of the murderers, I [Chiniquy] went, incognito, to
Washington to begin my investigation about its true and real authors, I was not
a little surprised to see that not a single one of the Government men to whom I
addressed myself, would consent to have any talk with me on that matter, except
after I had given my word of honour that I would never mention their names in
connection with the result of my investigation. I saw, with a profound distress,
that the influence of Rome was almost supreme in Washington. I could not find a
single statesman who would dare to face that nefarious influence and fight it
down"
Several of
the government men in whom I [Chiniquy] had more confidence, told me: "We had not the
least doubt that the Jesuits were at the bottom of that great iniquity; we even
feared, sometimes, that this would come out so clearly before the military
tribunal, that there would be no possibility of keeping it out of the public
sight. This was not through cowardice, as you think, but through a wisdom
which you ought to approve, if you cannot admire it. Had we been in days of
peace, we know that with a little more pressure on the witnesses, many priests would have been compromised;
for Mrs. Surratt's house was their common rendezvous; it is more than
probable that several of them might have been hung. But the civil war was
hardly over. The Confederacy, though broken down, was still living in millions
of hearts; murderers and formidable elements of discord were still seen
everywhere, to which the hanging or exiling of those priests would have given a
new life. Riots after riots would have accompanied and followed their
execution. We thought we had had enough of blood, fires, devastations and bad
feelings. We were all longing after days of peace: the country was in need of
them. We concluded that the best interests of humanity was to punish only those
who were publicly and visibly guilty; that the verdict might receive the
approbation of all, without creating any new bad feelings. Allow us also tell you that this policy was that of our late President.
For you know it well, there was nothing which that good and great man feared so
much as to arm the Protestants against the Catholics, and the Catholics against
the Protestants." ~Fifty Years in the Church of Rome- Chas.

Conclusion
|
I feel safe in stating that nowhere else can be found in one book the connected presentation of the story leading up to the death of Abraham Lincoln, which was instigated by the "Black" pope, the General of the Jesuit Order, camouflaged by the "White" pope, Pius IXth, aided and abetted and financed by other "Divine Righters" of Europe, and finally consummated by the Roman Hierarchy and their paid agents in this country and French Canada on "Good Friday" night, April 14th, 1865, at Ford's Theatre, Washington D.C.... I am convinced that if this knowledge can be given adequate distribution and placed in possession of the boys and girls of the public elementary schools, for whom it is especially designed to reach, that the wicked boast of the Jesuits and their lay agents, the Knights of Columbus, to MAKE AMERICA CATHOLIC" can never be accomplished. ~Burke McCarty - in his introduction to The Supressed Truth About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. |
That is our story, our re-establishment of history ...
before it was disguised by underhanded jesuitical powers. The reason for
this goes beyond setting the record straight. This should serve to warn people
that the Papal forces and motives did not end with the last Inquistition.
Although the Catholic church has taken a seemingly demure stance and a
quiet peaceful appearance (at least publicly) it does not mean that their
goals have changed.
They have recently (Oct. 31st, 1999) signed an
agreement with the Luthern Church, unifying their doctrine on salvational
justification by faith(which is a real truth). On the anniversary of Martin
Luther beginning the Protestant Reformation like a lion - the modern Luthern
Church rescinds the reformation, no longer protesting ... walking meekly into
the arms of the Catholic Church ... like a lamb ... before the slaughter! They
have forgotten all their founder had taught them. They even forgot that he
warned: "I know that the Pope is Antichrist, and his seat is that of Satan
himself."~ Martin Luther
Reader, Please consider the following quotations when regarding the current
pacifist attitude of the Church of Rome-
A Quote on Jesuit Equivocation : [Sanchez Op. Mor., pars 2,lib. iii., cap 6] "A man
may swear that he hath not done a thing though he really have, by understanding
within himself that he did it not on such and such a day, or before he was
born; or by reflecting on some other circumstance of the like nature; and yet
the words he shall make use of shall not have a sense of implying any such
thing; and this is a thing of great convenience on many occasions, and is
always justifiable when it is necessary or advantageous in anything that
concerns a man's health, honour, or estate."
"The
State has not the right to leave every man free to embrace whatever religion he
shall deem true." "The Church has the right to require that the
Catholic Religion shall be the religion of the State, to the exclusion of ALL
OTHERS." "Cursed be those who assert liberty of conscience and of
worship and such that maintain that the church may not employ FORCE." (The
syllabus of Pope Pius IX, December1864)
"It was proposed that all religious
persuasions should be free and their worship publicly exercised. But we have
rejected this article as contrary to the canons and councils of the Catholic
Church."*Pope Pius VII, Encyclical, 1808
Moreover, we
declare, affirm, define, and pronounce it to be necessary to salvation to every
human creature, to be subject to the Roman Pontiff!!" **Pittsburg Catholic Visitor, July 1848,
official journal of the Bishop.
"The church is of necessity
intolerant. Heresy, she endures when and where she must, but she hates it, and
directs all her energies to destroy it."* The Shepherd of the Valley,
official Journal of the Bishop of St. Louis, Nov. 23, 1851.
"No man
has a right to choose his religion. Catholicism is the most intolerant of
creeds. It is intolerance itself. We might as rationally maintain that two and two
does not make four as the theory of Religious Liberty. Its impiety is only
equaled by its absurdity."** New York Freeman, official journal
of Bishop Hughes, Jan. 26, 1852.
"Protestantism has not, and never
can have, any right where Catholicity has triumphed. Therefore we lose the
breath we expend in declaiming against bigotry and intolerance and in favour of
Religious Liberty, or the right of any man to be of any religion as best
pleases him."*****Catholic World, July 1870.
"Religious
Liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without
peril to the Catholic Church." - Rt. Rev. O'Connor, Bishop of
Pittsburgh.
"The Catholic church has persecuted ... when
she thinks it is good to use physical force she will use it ... Will the
Catholic Church give bond that she will not persecute? ... The Catholic Church
gives no bonds for her good behaviour" - Western Watchman, December 24th, 1908
History Repeats Itself
People in
not so distant history knew of the Jesuit terror- In 1757
the Jesuit confessors were driven out of the Portuguese Royal family and the
members of the Society were forbidden to preach in Catholic Portugal. The Prime
Minister banned the Society from all his territories. The marquess of Pombal in
1757 drove out the Jesuit confessors from the royal family and forbade the
order to preach. Eventually he banished the society from all his territories.
It seemed that all Liberals expelled the Jesuits and that the Jesuits only
flourished where tolerant Protestantism was in the majority (such as England,
Sweden, Denmark and the United States).
In April 1762 the society was accused of using covert
means in France to usurp all authority. On April 6, the same year, the French
Parliament accused the Jesuits of being "a political body working untiringly at usurping all
authority, by all kinds of indirect, secret and devious means." The
statement of arrests also described the Order as "perverse, a destoyer of all religious and
honest principles, insulting to christian morals, pernicious to civil society,
hostile to the rights of the nation, the royal power, and even the security of
the sovereigns and obedience of their subjects; suitable to stir up the
greatest disturbances in the States, conceive and maintain the worst kind of corruption
in men's hearts." Clement XIII
was trying since 1758 to supress the Society of Jesus and on February 2, 1769,
he died the night before he was to tell the College of Cardinals about his
decision to comply with the wishes of the Courts to suppress the Jesuits. In
1773 supression was ordered by Clement XIV. He said "this suppression will kill me" and "I have cut off my right hand" On
September 22, 1774 the Pope was poisoned to death. 1774, the Empress of Austria
had also banned the order which was welcome educationally only in Prussia
(until 1786) and Russia.
The Jesuits were banned from Russia
in 1786. (In the USA, the money for the
First Bank of North America and the First Bank of the United States came from
the Jesuit's war chest! ). The Jesuits were banished from Spain in 1820;
from Portugal in 1834; from Spain in 1835; from Switzerland in 1848. In
Italy their colleges and establishments were gradually taken from the Jesuits
starting in 1859. The Jesuits were banished from Spain in 1868 and from Germany
in 1872. In Latin America the Jesuits were suppressed in Guatamala in 1872; in
Mexico in 1873.; in Brazil in 1874; in Equador and Columbia in 1875; and
in Costa Rica in 1884. The Jesuits were (twice) banished from France in 1880
and again in 1901. Since that time the Society has integrated with former
enemies (at least at lower levelsof discipleship) such as masonic groups.
They have continued to rewrite history. They have taken control of the US
education system to ultimately control your children. They have infiltrated
into positions and vocations of power and authority to prepare to re-establish
her dominion.
The (Un)holy Roman Empire has not changed her plans. She will dominate! When
the time is right ... when she has sufficient power ... through the
"host" countries that she parasitically attaches herself to .... then
she will throw off her disguise and reveal herself and her army of Jesuit
soldiers. Do not fear her ... but know her dangers ... and seek protection in
the Lord. Read the word and pray!
It was Horace
Greeley ( Yes, the guy who said "Go west, young man" ) who said :
"It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a
Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human
freedom." America and other nations that were founded on Godly principles of liberty and
freedom are under special attack - and through the subtle (and
not-so-subtle) lying changes in history books, school curriculums, and the
reporting of the media- we have lost our identity and the truth.
U.S. Grant, himself, had said " The Bible is the sheet-anchor of our
liberties." This is the answer ... we need to get closer to
God, our Father. We need to know him by reading His word ... to anchor
ourselves in it. We need to keep reading the Bible, folks, it needs to be our
DAILY BREAD. Only then can we be truly free.
