This is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God.
Now, as you watch this video, I am at my home for several days.
I'm seeking God's instructions about the future direction of this ministry.
And as you're watching this video,
Doc Burkhardt is away attending a streaming media summit.
And we prerecorded a three-part series based on a 2002 radio interview.
I record it with Dr. Dennis Cuddy, author of The Globalist, The Power Elites
Exposed. Doc and I will offer some comments between interview segments today. Now, on today's
episode, we will discuss the origins of the Illuminati, also secret societies, the evolution of Freemasonry, and communistic
capitalism. Doc, you have anything you want to say before we begin segment one?
Well, as we finished yesterday's edition of True News, Dr. Cuddy had explained that
we're in a third world war now. This was 2002, in his opinion.
I was surprised to hear him say that.
I completely forgot about that.
And the way he described that war that's going on,
it's a battle between two forces,
the forces that evolved out of the French Revolution
and that evolved out of the American Revolution.
A lot of people think they were similar,
but really the values in the French Revolution
were radically different than the values in the American Revolution.
Well, based on that idea, then the French Revolution has conquered America.
That would be the premise.
Out of the French Revolution, you have all the socialism, the communism, everything that erupted out of that,
plus all the secret societies that began to coalesce
using the French Revolution as kind of the launch pad.
And the attack on the church.
Yes.
Because the French Revolution was beheading priests.
That's right.
They sought to eliminate the church.
Now, in our first segment today,
Dr. Cuddy picks back up the baton
and Rick asks him questions about the origins of the Illuminati and how they fit into this new global elite that is taking over the world based out of the values of the French Revolution.
Let's listen to this.
Dennis, let's talk about the Illuminati. For the listeners who don't know anything about the Illuminati,
give a brief description of the origin and the purpose of the Illuminati
and its infiltration inside the early United States of America.
Okay. Basically, you had, coming out of the Renaissance in Europe, an openness. There were some very bad things in
the Middle Ages, but this was sort of a revolution of the mind. And eventually what happened was,
intellectually, you had what was called the Enlightenment. Science was coming to the fore,
Galileo, Copernicus, all this sort of thing. And so basically what happened was there's a number of secret societies, for example the Freemasons, changed from their old ways.
In this case, in the early 1700s, they had a change in their rights, as they call it, in their constitutions, and any number of other secret societies.
And these were the elite, the intellectuals.
They didn't want to be stifled by some king telling them what to do or some religious leader telling them what to do.
It was, you know, my mind is what's important.
Science is coming about more and more to overthrow the notion of creation.
And so what you had at the time was not only a rebellion of the various peasants who were interested in developing more of their capabilities, getting more land, more wealth, and so on.
But you had a revolution within religious societies as well.
And the founder of the Illuminati was Adam Weishaupt,
and he was a former Jesuit. And he tried to enlist some other former Jesuits into his order, but when they initially were going along with him, then they pulled back. He got extremely mad,
and so what he did was he founded the Illuminati, which was based upon sort of the Jesuit
organization. Now, you have to remember,
the Jesuits were a response, really, to the Protestant Reformation to combat that. And so
what Weisshaupt and his people, and they were very intellectual types, and I put names of some of
them in the book, and they're code names. For example, I put Goethe, the famous author. He was a member of the Illuminati. Pestalozzi, an Italian educator who eventually, his ideas were adopted by John Dewey, the father of progressive education in this country.
And so these individuals plotted and planned, and I put the quotes in the book, to literally overthrow existing authority. Now, in Europe, they were going gangbusters.
As I said, you had the French Revolution. There were revolutions of ideas in England at the time.
You had socialism, utilitarianism, Jeremy Bentham and Robert Dale Owen becoming prominent.
And why am I even mentioning them? Well, the reason is Robert Owen and his son, Robert Dale Owen, came over to Indiana and literally founded the first commune, communist society in this country.
And then I put as well the quotes from their effort, as well as Fannie Wright, Madame Francoise d'Aruzmond, along with Orestes Bronson.
Now, the only reason we know this stuff is because Orestes Bronson converted to Christianity, and he blew the whistle on him. He says, here was our plan,
we're going to take over the country, we're going to use the schools, and here's exactly how we
were going to do it. And so what you have there are key individuals at key positions in history.
So when people say, well, the Illuminati, oh yeah, sure, it was bad,
but that's dead. What you got to remember is they didn't really die out. They dispersed to the
Parisian Outlaws League. From that, they went to the League of the Just, and that group funded
Karl Marx to write his works. Marx was a correspondent for Horace Greeley, one of the
leading abolitionists in this country.
Robert Dale Owen went on to become a congressman from Indiana and was responsible for founding the Smithsonian Institute.
These individuals are key positions in history, and they flow out of this idea of Illuminism, enlightenment.
And that's basically where the Illuminati came from.
Well, if you've ever wanted to know the origins of the Illuminati, Dr. Cuddy just lays it out right there. And so I hope viewers and listeners are really getting an education today in this.
So, you know, one of the things that we, you know, that people today that are watching and
listening, they talk about the Illuminati, but they don't really know. They just think it's some
sort of super elite group out there, but they have a history and much of the connections.
What I found surprising, listening to this interview from 2002, Rick, is much of the work of the Illuminati resulted in the creation of communism.
Communism didn't start with Karl Marx.
It started at school in Indiana.
The Illuminati started Karl Marx.
That's right. So one of the questions we get from viewers and listeners at times is,
how involved were secret societies in the founding of America?
They were obviously involved to some extent.
And that's one of the questions that you asked Dr. Cuddy in our next segment here.
How involved were they?
And does that conflict with the Christian values that the
nation was founded upon? So let's listen to this, and then Rick and I will have some comment.
Dennis, what was the involvement of the Illuminati at the founding of this country
in the late 1700s, the early 1800s? How deeply penetrated was the Illuminati in the foundation of this country?
Well, there was a struggle going on.
You had some very solid Bible-believing individuals.
You had some secret society member types, like Benjamin Franklin belonged to maybe eight or nine secret societies. He was the
one who initiated Voltaire, that famous Frenchman, into Freemasonry. In this country, as I indicated,
the Columbian Lodge was, according to this John Wood in this really rare document in New York,
with DeWitt Clinton and his people. and they called it here the Theistical Society,
but they had corresponding committees in Baltimore and all over the place.
We have individuals like George Washington, and in that book I called Now is the Dawning of the
New Age New World Order, I literally put a picture of Washington's handwritten letter
to an individual in 1798 saying, oh yes, I understand the Illuminati's
here, and they're very dangerous. Also among the founders, you have Thomas Jefferson.
It wasn't clear that he was a member of them, but he was an apologist. Whenever Weisshaupt's
name came up, Jefferson would say, oh, you know, he's just a nice philanthropist,
an intellectual, a philosopher. He's not really so bad.
So he had apologies for these individuals.
And as I indicated, I put quotes from the president of Harvard University, Joseph Willard, and Timothy Dwight, president of Yale, saying this was an extremely dangerous group.
They believed it was here.
It was penetrating various societies.
It was trying to control the press. It was trying to control and was controlling in New York originally political appointments that were being made.
And these individuals flow from that.
You have Clinton Roosevelt coming from that along with Horace Greeley, who I mentioned before, setting up a later commune called Brook Farm in Massachusetts, emphasizing science.
You know, science was going to overthrow creationism.
We, of course, all evolved, according to these people.
And, of course, if you can persuade enough people that we're just evolved animals, you can do anything.
You can get them to support abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, because you know you're just another animal. So it was a
fundamental attack on the underpinnings of the traditional American values which
were largely a biblical... What I'm hearing is it confirms what I've believed for a
long time. That in America there have been two streams flowing simultaneously, side by side. If you go back to
the 1600s, you had Christians coming to the new world, to America. They came for religious
freedom. They came to worship God. You also had secret societies from Europe
that came to the new world.
And so God had his people here
and Satan brought his people.
And you had the Christian faith
that took root in new world in America
and you had secret societies that took root.
And they both had been growing side by side. Sort of like wheat
and tares. Like wheat and tares. And here we are now
in 2023 and the tares are much higher,
much stronger, much bigger,
more populated because the church was not aware
of the tares,
were not aware of what the secret societies were doing.
Can it be turned around?
Yes, it can be turned around.
Do we have time?
I don't know.
But do we endanger the wheat by pulling out the tares?
That's the question.
We've learned from the parables that you feed the wheat
and let the tares continue to grow. Now the tares, which
the secret society, specifically free masonry, the free masonry that exists today is a lot
different than the free masonry of the 16th, 1700s. And you and Dr. Cuddy talk about this
because several of our founding fathers were members of Masonic lodges. So how does that, you know, jive, if you
will, with everything else going on with the founding of our nation? So you and Dr. Cuddy
talk about this very thing in the evolution of Freemasonry. I want to hear what he said,
because I don't remember his answer. So I'm curious to hear how he answered that question.
But what about the Freemasons? Where do they come into this picture? When did they originate
here in the United States of America in the early beginnings of this country? And are they still a
part of this global elite? Yes, but not as apparent. They were very, very strong early on. What you have is,
I indicate around 1717, you had a new set of constitutions, as it was called,
and what had been called operative, you know, traditional masonry, masons building buildings
and so on, became what was called
speculative masonry. And it really opened up. You could no longer mention Jesus Christ.
Now, that doesn't mean somebody who was a mason like George Washington was anti-Christian.
He had really sound, I believe, Christian values. However, he was buried with full Masonic
regalia. Now, that doesn't mean somebody who was a Mason like George Washington was anti-Christian.
He had really sound, I believe, Christian values.
However, he was buried with full Masonic regalia and ceremony.
And so you did have a large number of individuals who were founders of the country,
drafted the Declaration of Independence, signed the constitutions.
What you've got to remember, though, is the occult, as such,
really hadn't come into Freemasonry at that time necessarily.
Now, it's true that Benjamin Franklin was into some sort of weird stuff,
which we don't have to go into now.
But it was only in the 1800s and coming about through Albert Pike, who wrote the noted Masonic work, Moralton Dogman, 1871.
And he borrowed a lot of the stuff in there from occultists.
And so he's praising Lucifer in that book. And he wrote another book, and I put quotes
from that, 1872, so that the Indo-Aryan deities, now you know Aryan from like Aryan race. And it
was at this time that you had various people like Madame Blavatsky. Women couldn't be Masons,
but she was part of a co-Masonry. She got her Masonic certificate and founded the Theosophical Society.
And she was walking arm in arm with Albert Pike down the streets in Washington, D.C.
And she founded a magazine called Lucifer.
And so you have a connection here, and you have very, very prominent people in sections of the country who were still emphasizing Freemasonry, a lot of membership.
On up into the 20th century, you have the Demolays, the last Grand Master, the Knights
Templar, who I've mentioned earlier, was Jacques Demolay.
That's your teenage Masonic group.
You have a lot of people.
Dan Rather, for example, was a Demolay.
Bill Clinton was inducted into the Demolay Hall of Fame in 1988. And so the
philosophy is still rather strong today. Now, what you've got to remember, though, is even though
leading Masons like Pike, Manly T. Hall, and other authors said the seething energies of Lucifer in
the Masons' hands, most Masons are lied to. I mean, Pike literally says that, and Manly P. Hall says that,
that in the lower degrees, Masons are not taught what the Lodge is really all about in the blue degrees.
So your average Mason is out there doing fraternal things and good works at children's hospitals and so on.
But the upper degrees of Freemasonry, when you get up to the 33rd degree, those individuals are not as plentiful as they used to be, but they still exercise a lot of power.
I'd say maybe a dozen or more members of the U.S. Senate are Freemasons.
And so, yes, they may not be as overtly as strong as they used to be, but they still have a lot of clout. Well, Rick, we were talking while we were listening to Dr. Cuddy there.
Based on your 20-plus years of experience looking back over the conversations that you had with others,
what do you think about Dr. Cuddy's assessment of the Founding Fathers, and specifically George Washington? specifically george washington um well uh i think dr cuddy like like many american patriots
trying to reconcile in his mind how could how can um people be christians and
involved in free masonry at the same time and and so his his answer on it is well Freemasonry did not start out to be occultic
uh I'm not so sure about that you think the occult roots go way back I think so too I do too
I do too now was it was it into every lodge at that time? I don't know. You know, there's a, I have a copy
of the letter. I don't have, you know, I didn't bring it out here. It's a reprint of the letter.
There was a pastor that wrote a letter to George Washington and asked him, he said, you know,
Mr. President, do you know about the Illuminati? And George Washington wrote back to that pastor
and said, I've heard of the Illuminati.
So there was discussion about it.
President Washington was a Freemason. And yet in his answer, it was kind of a vague, I've heard of the Illuminati, but I'm not sure how deeply it's involved here.
Was it the Illuminati that infiltrated Freemasonry and converted it into an occult organization?
I don't know.
Well, Dr. Cuddy and Rick talk a little bit further here as we continue in our interview.
They talk about the connection between secret orders, corporations, foundations.
You're going to get a lot of information this next segment here
a little bit longer segment here but this will really fill in a lot of gaps
for what's happening in our world today so let's listen to this dennis is there an overlapping
uh relationship between these various secret societies and power elite groups.
In other words, you have a certain group of individuals who are key leaders in an organization such as the Freemasons.
And maybe the top echelon of that organization is also members of another secret organization. Is that prevalent where at the top echelons of the various organizations,
you have this interlocking directorship of the same members, same names,
same people showing up in each organization?
Yeah, you do, but it's a little bit different. It used to be pretty standard. You'd have the leading people 100 or so years ago on interlocking directorates of, let's say, the biggest banks, the biggest Carnegie Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and so on. And so they would exercise tremendous control that way. It's dispersed
and become more of a global network now, so that it's infiltrated into various organizations.
For example, what you'll find is that the Carnegie Foundation will place a lot of people
in the U.S. government, say in the Department of Education when I was
there. Same thing with Rockefeller and Ford Foundation. You'll find that they disperse
money for key activities. So their influence is not just, well, here I am in the secret
Masonic Lodge, and tomorrow I'm going to the board meeting of the Carnegie Foundation or something like that. What you rather have is a hooking up of the money, let's say a Rockefeller
Foundation, with the idea of we've got to control people, so how do we do that? And so I put a quote
in the book, for example, from April 11, 1933, where the head of the Rockefeller Foundation,
Max Mason, is literally saying,
our goal now is the control of human behavior.
Social control is what we're going to do.
And so I map out some of their funded projects and show how during the Second World War,
there were key people who at the end of that time, Alan Gregg was their medical director,
said, well, you know, how can we put wartime psychology into the civilian population? So they look around and they fund what's called Tavistock. And Tavistock is extreme. You don't hear much about it, but it's extremely important.
One of their senior associates developed what he called a theory of social turbulence.
And basically what he was saying is that if people are confronted with crises,
they will go into psychological retreat. So for example, you may have a lot of terrorism crisis,
you know, in this country, or shootings or whatever. And so people might say, oh my goodness,
you know, for peace and safety, maybe we should give up some of our Second Amendment rights or
Fourth Amendment rights. And so it's changed.
They don't have to have like a direct attack. It's sort of like that quote by Richard Gardner,
sort of an indirect assault. What they do is they create situations where the public almost
requests their intervention. And so, for example, in education, you would have Rockefeller, let's
say, funding John Dewey. Okay, Dewey writes in
a book called Democracy and Education, I put the quote here, that if you're a dependent person,
you're normal. But if you're an independent individualist, you have a form of, quote,
insanity, end quote. You're literally insane. Now, this is the father of progressive education,
which is in our schools all over the place. And Dewey then goes over to Russia.
He loves it.
He comes back and writes an article for the New Republic magazine saying how the Bolsheviks are great.
They're undermining the church.
They're undermining the family.
This is wonderful.
And so by the early 50s at Columbia Teachers College, heavily influenced by Dewey, they're putting out like one-quarter, one-third of all the superintendents, the principals of the major cities, school systems in the country. And so by
the early 60s, they've got control of the schools down to the classroom level. They say this is how
you control human behavior. What they do is they change from the cognitive, your basics, reading, writing, math, to the affective domain, which is social relationships, feelings.
You have grade inflation.
I mean, we can't fail Johnny.
It might hurt his self-esteem.
So when you have grade inflation, you have social promotions, right?
Okay, so the youngsters are getting dumber, but they don't know it.
SATs start to go down and down and down.
More and more discipline problems.
The students' rights movement.
And all of these things flow from that.
That's where I mentioned the humanist quote before.
That's where we get the Roe versus Wade decision from.
Quote, don't impose your morality on me, end quote.
And this is a trend that develops their control over individuals.
And of course, the more we become, or I should say the more society departs from being a God-centered society, we become a government-centered society.
That was Dewey's idea with this independent individualism.
What he was doing was creating the mindset for the welfare state.
He said, we've got to have socialism.
He was in charge of what had been called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society.
He said we're going to have socialism.
You may call it liberalism, but it'll be socialism.
And the group is most important, not the individual, the group.
So in education, you hear cooperative learning today, group learning.
The 10th plank of the Communist Manifesto was linking education with productive labor.
Okay, now you've got school to work, right?
That's supposed to link education with productive labor.
And remember, it's not, quote, communism.
Communism was sort of a foil.
The goal, according to H.G. Wells, was you have to have a dialectic.
You have to have a synthesis.
We're going to synthesize Western capitalism and Eastern communism into a world socialist government, and that's the goal.
I'll tell you what I'm hearing out of this, that the socialist termites have been eating away at
the foundation of our country for centuries, and they've been multiplying, and now we see the fruit
of their labor.
In this last segment, Dr. Cuddy talks about capitalistic communism.
Dennis, just recently, Jing Zemin in China has announced that the Chinese Communist Party
will begin accepting red capitalists as members. Right. And so we're seeing the greatest merger of all times.
The capitalists, the international bankers, becoming members of the Communist Party.
Yeah, and that goes back.
I put in the book a cartoon from 1911.
It's by a Robert Miner, who was something of a communist himself.
His cartoon is from St. Louis Post-Dispatch. And in there,
it's Wall Street, and he has Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Carnegie, all the money people,
the big capitalist people, and they're welcoming Karl Marx. And they're saying,
delighted. And under Marx's arm is not a book titled Communism, but it's a book titled
Socialism. And so what you have to have are these pilot projects.
Cecil Rhodes' group mapped this out. To get a world government, you have to have a world economy.
To get a world economy, you have to have regional economic arrangements. And Stalin basically said
the same thing in, I think, January of 1913, I think it was. And Lenin would call it disunion
for the purpose of union. You have to break things down, break barriers down.
And so to create the new world order, to create what you were just talking about, the Chinese and the red capitalists, you have to have pilot projects.
So what they did was Hong Kong. Hong Kong is literally a former capitalist entity taken over by a communist entity, and so it's a synthesis of socialism.
Same thing for Europe, Germany.
You have East Germany communist absorbed into West Germany
and now headed by Gerhard Schroeder, who is a member of Socialist International,
as are most of the nation's heads in Europe.
Tony Blair is the vice president of Socialist International.
And a leading proponent of the third way.
Absolutely.
They don't want to come out necessarily and call it socialism because Bill Clinton is on board with this.
But I put a quote in the book from the Washington Post.
There's an article by E.J. Dionne, a columnist there, also a Rhodes Scholar, saying now they're paving the way for socialism.
And the head of Italy,
literally, when he came over here, said, look, I know this is a tough word for you to say,
but go on and say it. You know, that's what we're about, socialism.
And as you mentioned, Germany, Germany or Berlin is now being led by a communist mayor.
Yeah, they're continuing to lead. In fact, I think Moldavia or some of the former members of the USSR are re-electing the communists as though they really went away.
I mean, they call it the Russian mafia.
What it is is a lot of old KGB agents who never went away.
Come back tomorrow for part three, and we will be talking about the New World Order and its fascination with Nazism. You've been listening to a 2002 interview I
conducted with Dr. Dennis Cuddy about the globalist elite exposed. I hope this has been
enlightening to you. Come back tomorrow. We'll see right back. physical gold and silver. Find out why Genesis Gold Group is the number one recommended company
