Albert Pike’s Three Masonic World Wars
While researching Albert Pike and Freemasonry, I came across something which may or may not be real: a supposed Masonic plan from 1871 for three world wars, leading to total domination of the world by a Luciferian order. The letter is allegedly from Albert Pike to Italian Grand Master Giuseppe Mazzini 33°, dated 15 August 1871 and supposedly in the Archives of the British Museum, London.
Or at least that’s what most of the websites which quote the letter claim. Nobody seems to bother to research the matter beyond that. Luckily, I did find one more level-headed website which says:
It is a commonly believed fallacy that for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini was on display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. The British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a document has never been in their possession.
This letter purports to identify Communism and Nazism by name as early as 1871, and outlines the shape of political affairs in the world until the present time. An extremely tall order and, in my opinion, highly unlikely. Nevermind why would such a secret plan be commited to paper? In any event, the third world war described in this letter goes like this:
The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…
I’m already suspicious of this because of the language used. For one, I’ve read books on Islam where as recently as the 1960’s, they were using the word “Mohammedan” instead of Muslim or Moslem. I’m no linguist though, so I could easily be wrong. According to an etymological dictionary, the word Muslim was first used as a noun in 1615, and as an adjective in 1777. So I suppose it’s possible, but who knows? I would definitely like to see the language of this letter analyzed from a historical and linguistic perspective to try to date it though.
In any event, the part of the letter which I personally find more interesting is this idea that Atheism was invented by the Masons intentionally to destroy Christianity by throwing it into a tailspin of uncertainty. Then, once people see how foolish Christianity is, those inclined to religious adoration will be presented with the pure light of Lucifer as a replacement.
We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
It’s a tantalizing myth. But it may be just that, a myth. In any event, this letter could just as easily have been an invention of the detractors of Masonry. It’s certainly quoted ad nauseum among people who are trying to prove how evil and dangerous Masonry is. It’s one of those things that’s suspicious to me though because it says exactly what people want it to say. It’s such a clear-cut smoking gun that it seems highly improbable. A term for this I’ve always liked is “orgy of evidence” (from Minority Report), which is when you have such an overwhelming amount of evidence that it’s very likely faked. A good real life example is that car they supposedly found in a ditch outside Boston after 9/11 with a copy of the Koran and a couple of flight instruction manuals resting in the back seat. Yeah right!

Hi Tim..
Guiseppie = Giuseppe
;-p
yes, I’m Italian
I pasted that in from another website verbatim
Heh, this forger couldn’t even get Pike’s style right. Have you ever tried reading Morals and Dogma? The style is positively archaic, and the writing is so abhorrent it makes Kant look simple by comparison. Orgy of evidence, indeed… though certainly a tantalizing myth.
Goddammit, you’re right! Even if you just look at that bit I quoted from him in part 3, it’s a short passage, but I had to read it like 3 times before I was sure what he meant:
i dont know much about masonry, but i suspect that a fair bit of anti-masonic stuff is pretty broad-brush and indiscriminate. imho a good place to start for real nefarious masonic conspiracies would be corrupt lodges like the italian P2 or, going back a ways, maybe albert pike’s reputed involvement with the KKK.
I’m no linguist either, but I suspect the word Muslim has always been used by Muslims themselves. I presume that your dictionary which says it was first used as a noun in 1615 really refers to its first use in English.
Yes, the word Muslim is in the Qur’an.
Something else I’ve just thought of:
If this letter did name Nazism in 1871 that would be quite impressive, but to have identified Communism at that date doesn’t actually mean much. The Communist Manifesto had already been published in 1848 so the word was in use by then. If it had said Russia would be the first country where Communism took over, now, THAT would’ve been good.
The whole Pike/Mazzini correspondence is a hoax, and there is no such thing as the Palladian Rite. It was perpetrated by Leo Taxil to embarrass the Church and make fools out of christians who believed it. Good links here for further study:

Lady Queenborough and William Guy Carr made up shit all the time when the facts didn’t fit their agenda. Carr is particularly abhorrent as a researcher - completely inept as an historian - and he lies to his readers on nearly every page. The WW3 site says the 3 world wars shtick comes from Carr’s book; Carr in turn says he got it from the Cardinal Of Chile’s book, The Mystery Of Freemasonry Unveiled. The latter was published in 1928, with the former penned in the late 1950s. It can be settled definitively one way or another by checking Carr’s source.
In the 1920s the Nazi Party was in existence but to say:
“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”
would be quite a stretch. The First World War “prediction” is easy, as the Cardinal had already lived through it. I believe Carr made up the second prediction from his advantage of hindsight in the 1950s - which means he lied again. The best part about it though, is that it can be verified by reading The Mystery Of Freemasonry Unveiled. I wouldn’t put it past Carr to have made the whole thing up himself, and probably no mention of the Pike quotes are made in the Cardinal’s book. The type of readership he catered too, would have allowed him such a luxory. He knew they wouldn’t even bother to check, as they never had before anyway. They always just took him at his word, because he told them what they wanted to hear: “The Synagogue of Satan” has formented the “World Revolutionary Movement” throughout the centuries in an effort to usher in the antichrist with the Jews and godless illuminati at its head.
James Russell Says:
Communism as an ideology, and as a coined phrase, originates in France during the Revolution. First through Restif and then the Babeuvist conspirators. Actually, in 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before revolution broke out. Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by Rousseau - as was the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam Weishaupt.
That’s a great line, and lots of other great insights as well.
While I don’t know much about Pike, in “The Karma of Untruthfulness” Rudolf Steiner lectures on the roots of ‘the Great War’ going back to the last third of the 19th century. He also excoriates secret societies and implicates them in much behind-the-scenes activity. Unfortunately, the book is not online but I have posted some excerpts in the
