THE
SUPPRESSED TRUTH
about the
ASSASSINATION Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN
Written and
Compiled by
BURKE McCARTY, Ex-Romanist
During the years from 1864 to 1865 the activity of
these Jesuits in Europe was redoubled. There is no doubt that they were in
close touch with every step and phase of the Rebellion in this country. In
1856 Prince Maximillian of Austria, was called to Rome where a marriage
had been arranged through ecclesiastical and royal intrigue between
himself and the Princess Carlotta, daughter of King Leopold the Second of
Belgium, thus uniting two of the strongest Catholic powers in Europe.
The next step was the marriage of this royal
couple in the Cathedral at Vienna. In April, 1864, by the orders of the
pope, they were crowned Emperor and Empress of Mexico at Pontifical High
Mass and amidst great rejoicing. On April 14, 1864, just one year to the
day, previous to Lincoln's assassination, this royal couple set sail in an
Austrian ship of war for Mexico They put in at Cevita Vecchia, the port
the papal States, and were received at the Vatican by the most elaborate
ceremonies which had ever been extended by a pope to royalty. After
several days of these honors and being loaded down with the papal
blessings they again resumed their journey across the Atlantic.
Maximillian had been, during a previous visit to
Napoleon the Third and his Empress Eugenie, assured of the assistance of
thirty thousand French and Belgium for his invasion into Mexico, the
specific object of which was the destruction of the young Republic already
established under Juarez. These troops were poured in and were being
supported by the Mexican people. It had been impressed upon Maxmillian at
the Vatican that his first official act must be the complete restoration
of all the church property and ecclesiastical "rights" of the
clergy which had been confiscated by the Liberal government.
After the conquest of Mexico the plan was for this
imperialistic commander "Emperor" Maximillian, to join Jefferson
Davis and Confederate troops at Richmond where they would sweep north and
capture Washington.
Davis had made a strong appeal in 1863 in a letter
to the Pope, and after the reply which he promptly received from "His
Holiness" a wholesale desertion of the Irish Catholic troops of the
North to the Confederacy followed. In fact, the Government figures are
that out of 144,000 Irish Romanists, but 44,000 remained loyal.
We have seen and heard how the Roman priesthood
the world over, is bending every effort to restore the pope to the
position which he occupied during the Dark Ages. This is perhaps an
opportune time for the reader to take a survey of conditions which existed
in the Papal States prior to and during the Civil War where the popes of
Rome had been in supreme command for over fourteen hundred years.
Certainly, fourteen hundred years ought to be sufficient for a thorough
test of the merits of a system. Pius IXth was elected in 1846. There had
been three popes in the interim between him and Pius VIIth who had
restored the Jesuits and called the congress of Vienna in 1814. There was
no change in policy however, nor any laxness in regard to the attitude of
the church towards its obligations to the "high contracting
parties" [see page one] of the Holy Alliance and their Secret Treaty
at Verona.
Of all of his predecessors Pius IXth was one of
the most reactionary, and in his notorious Syllabus which was proclaimed
to a startled world in Dec., 1864, he anathematized every fundamental
principle upon which this Republic [America] is based. The historians are
inclined to place all the blame of his mistakes, and they were many, upon
his Secretary of State, Cardinal Antonelli, who was beyond doubt "the
power behind the throne"—the agent for the "Black" pope.
Antonelli is far more interesting as a character study than the
"White" pope, inasmuch as he was so deeply interested in the
affairs of this country during the war. I am taking the liberty of
reproducing some graphic pen pictures by the distinguished French
journalist, Mr. About, who made a personal visit to the Papal States to
learn, firsthand, if the astounding reports from the Italian
Revolutionists which had been pouring into the European press for several
years were correct. Mr. About's book "The Roman Question" is
intensely interesting and written in the peculiarly piquant style of the
brilliant Frenchman. It is long since out of print and difficult to secure
as the Leopoldines have bought up every copy which comes under their
WATCHFUL EYE. It is a terrific arraignment, especially so, as the author
himself was a Roman Catholic.
His visit to the Papal States was made in 1859,
the same year you will remember that Abraham Lincoln was making his
telling political campaigns for the presidency, and immortalizing himself
by his debate with Judge Douglas, on the Dred Scott Decision of Judge
Roger E. Taney.
The great Italian poet and patriot, Mazzini, was
an exile, living in a London attic, pouring out his soul's most noble
appeals to the Liberals of Europe. His large property holdings in Italy
had been confiscated by the Pope's government. The Carlysles had visited
him in his attic and through their friendship he was brought from the
miserable surroundings and ensconsed in comfortable quarters, where the
most distinguished literati of London and Paris visited him and were
captivated by his remarkable talents and his sincere patriotism and
completely won over by his irresistible arguments for a FREE AND UNITED
ITALY.
The exile Garibaldi, with his "Redshirted
Legion," had answered the call of his country after a sojourn in the
United States where he had also lived in an attic in New York City,
following the humble profession of a candlemaker, saving up his money.
One day he suddenly closed his attic door and
disappeared as mysteriously as he had come. The great soldier patriot
returned to Italy by the way of London and one of his most brilliant
conquests was the capture of the hearts of the people of London. The
red-blooded staunch Protestants not only of the city itself, but from all
over England, came to welcome the man who had returned to offer his sword
against the papal yoke. They went wild with delight. Garibaldi with his
yellow flowing hair under his big slouch hat was lifted to the shoulders
of the crowd, mad with joy which surged about him, and carried as though
his great form was but a feather's weight.
This was an insult, aye, it was the unforgivable
sin in the eyes of the black-robed Jesuits, and the Vatican, which aroused
the deadly hatred for the English Protestant nation, a hatred which has
not abated itself up to today.
One might presume under the circumstances that the
Pope would have been too occupied with his own affairs to have meddled
with the politics in the United States, at such a time.
The clever Frenchman, Mr. Dupin, has said:
"Le Jesuitism est un epee dont la poingee est
a Rome, et la point partout."—Jesuitism is a sword whose hilt is in
Rome and it points everywhere.
Gladstone had visited the Papal States in 1850 and
on his return to England, had reported to his government and the London
Press that the Papal government was "The negation of God."
In the preface of this book, Mr. About says:
"It was in the Papal States that I studied
the Roman Question. I travelled over every part of the country; I
conversed with men of all opinions, examined things very closely, and
collected my information on the spot."
"The pressing condition of Italy has obliged
me to write more rapidly than I could have wished; and this enforced haste
has given me a certain air of warmth, perhaps of intemperance, even to the
most carefully matured reflections I fight fairly and in good faith. I do
not pretend to have judged the foes of Italy without passion; but I have
calumniated none of them."
"If," he continues, "I have sought
a publisher in Brussels, while I had an excellent one in Paris, it is not
because I feel any alarm on the score of the regulations of our press, or
the severity of our tribunals. But as the Pope has a long arm that might
reach me in France, I have gone a little out of the way to tell him the
plain truths contained in these pages.
And now for the "plain truths" about his
Secretary Of state, the Cardinal Deacon, Antonelli.
"He was born among thieves. His native place
Sonmo, is more celebrated in the history of crime, than all Arcadia in the
annals of virtue. This nest of vultures was hidden in the southern
mountains, toward the Neapolitan frontier. Roads, impractical to mounted
dragoons, winding through brakes and thickets; forests impenetrable to the
stranger; deep ravines and gloomy caverns—all combine to form a most
desirable landscape for the convenience of crime.
"The houses of Sonino, old, ill built, flung
pellmell, one upon another, and almost uninhabitable by human beings,
were, in point of fact, little else than depots of pillage and magazines
of rapine. The population, alert and vigorous, had for many centuries
practiced armed robberies, and depredation had gained its
livelihood at the point of the carbine."
"Newborn infants inhaled a contempt of the
law with the mountain air, and drew in the love of others goods, with
their mother's milk. Almost as soon as they could walk, they assumed
cioccie, or moccasins of untanned leather, with which they learned to run
fearlessly along the ledge of the giddiest mountain precipices. When they
had acquired the art of pursuing and escaping, of taking without being
taken, the knowledge of the value of different coins, the arithmetic of
the distribution of booty, and the principles of the rights of nations, as
they are practiced among the Apaches or the Comanches, their education was
deemed complete.
"In the year of grace 1806, this sensual,
brutal, impious, superstitious, ignorant and cunning race, endowed Italy
with a little mountaineer, known as Giacomo Antonelli. Hawks do not hatch
doves. This is an axiom in natural history, which has no need of
demonstration. Had Giacomo Antonelli been gifted with simple virtues of an
Arcadian shepherd, his village would have instantly disowned him. But the
influence of certain events modified his conduct, although they failed to
modify his nature."
"If he received his first lessons from
successful brigandage, his next teachers were the gendarmerie. When he was
hardly four years old, the discharge of a high moral lesson shook his
ears; it was the French troops who were shooting brigands in the outskirts
of Sonino."
"After the return of Pius VIIth, he witnessed
the decapitation of a few neighboring relatives who had dandled him on
their knees. Under Leo XIIth., it was still worse. The wholesome
correctives of the wooden horse were permanently established in village
square St. Peter's Gate, which adjoins the house of the Antonelli, was
ornamented with a garland of human heads, which.... grinned dogmatically
enough in their iron cages.. . Young Giacomo was enabled to reflect upon
the inconveniences of brigandage, even before he had tasted its sweets..
.. He hesitated for some time as to the choice of a calling. His natural
vocation was that of the inhabitants of Sonino. .. . to live in plenty, to
enjoy every sort of pleasure, to rule others, to frighten them if
necessary, hut above all to violate laws with immunity."
"With the view of obtaining so lofty an end,
without endangering life, for which he had ever a most particular regard,
he en- tered the great seminary of Rome."
That's a beautiful picture of the next highest
prelate to the Pope, is it not? [The man was a devil in human form!]
So much for the early years of Antonelli.
But permit me to quote again from the pen of the
author of The Roman Question, who, as we know, was an eye witness:
"No country in Europe is more richly gifted,
or possesses greater advantages, whether for agriculture, manufacture or
commerce..
"Traversed by the Appenines, which divide it
about equally, the Papal dominions incline gently, on one side the
Adriatic, on the other the Mediterranean. In each of the seas they possess
an excellent port: to the east, Ancona; to the west, Civita Vecchia... .
If Panurge had had these ports in his kingdom, he would have infallibly
built himself a navy. . . . The Phoenicians and Carthaginians were not so
well off.
"A river tolerably well known under the name
of the Tiber, waters nearly the whole country to the west. In former days
it ministered to the wants of internal commerce. Roman historians describe
it as navigable up to Perugia. At the present time it is hardly so far as
Rome; but if its bed were cleared out, and the filth not allowed to be
thrown in, it would render greater service and would not overflow so
often.
"In 1847, the country lands subject to the
Pope were valued at about 34,800,000 pounds sterling.. . . the Minister of
Public Works and Commerce admitted that the property was not estimated at
above a third of its real value. If capital returned its proper interest,
if activity and industry caused trade and manufactures to increase, the
national income, as ought to be the case, it would be the Rothschilds who
would borrow money from the Pope at six per cent interest."
As a matter of fact the Papacy was heavily
indebted to the Rothschilds upon which About throws a high light further
on.
"But, stay," he continues, "I have
not yet completed the catalogue of possessions. To the munificence of
nature, must be added the inheritance of the past. The poor Pagans of
great Rome left all their property to the Pope who damns them.
"They left him gigantic aqueducts, prodigious
sewers and roads which we find still in use, after twenty centuries of
traffic. They left him the Coliseum, for his Capuchins to preach in. They
left him an example of an administration without equal in history. But the
heritage was accepted without the responsibilities.
"I will conceal from you no longer that this
magnificent territory appeared to me in the first place most unworthily
cultivated. From Civita Vecchia to Rome, a distance of sixteen leagues,
cultivation struck me in the light of very rare accident.
"Some pasture fields, some land in fallow,
plenty of brambles, and, at long intervals, a field with oxen at the plow;
that is what the traveler will see in April. He will not meet with the
occasional forest which he finds in the desert regions of Turkey. It seems
as if man had swept across the land to destroy everything, and the soil
had been taken possession of by flocks and herds I used to walk in every
direction, and sometimes long distances ... However, in proportion as I
receded from the City of Rome, I found the land better cultivated. One
would suppose that from a certain distance from St. Peter's, the peasants
worked with greater relish". .
"I sometimes fancied that these honest
laborers worked as if they were afraid to make a noise, lest by smiting
the soil too hard, too deeply, too boldly, they should wake up the dead of
the past ages."
"St. Peter's is a noble church, but, in its
way, a well cultivated field is a beautiful sight. It seemed to me, that
the activity and prosperity of the subjects of the Pope were in exact
proportion to the square of the distance which separated them from Rome
... in other words, that the shade of the monuments of the eternal city,
was noxious to the cultivation of the country, Rabelais says, `the shade
of monasteries is fruitful' but he speaks in another sense."
"I submitted my doubts to an old
ecclesiastic, who hastened to undeceive me. "The country is not
uncultivated," he said, "or if it be so, the fault is with the
subjects of the Pope. This people is indolent by nature, though 21,415
monks are always preaching activity and industry to them!"
That is a birdseye view, dear reader, of the Papal
States in the early eighteenth century when we were having our blind
struggle with the Papacy for our national existence in this country.
In his chapter on PLEBEIANS, M. About has this to
say:
"The subjects of the Holy Father are divided
by birth and fortune into three very distinct classes—nobility,
citizens, and people, or plebeians.
"The Gospel has omitted to consecrate the
inequality of men, but the law of the state—that is to say, the will of
the Po ld at New Orleans the previous November, 1910:
"Human society has its origin from God and is
constituted of two classes of people, rich and poor, which respectively
represents Capital and Labor.
Hence it follows that according to the ordinance
of God, human society is composed of two classes, superiors and subjects,
masters and servants, learned and unlettered, rich and poor, nobles and
plebeians." (The New World, Chicago, Ill., Dec. 20, 1910.)
It is astounding to know that Diomede Falconio,
the Pope's Legate to this country, who uttered the above divine right
treason on that occasion was at the time a naturalized citizen of the
United States!
That is what the oath of a Jesuit amounts to.
Falconio, who has since died, was instructing the
subjects of the Pope in this country, and there were thousands of
Catholics present at the New Orleans Convention, that a government based
as our POPULAR Government is, is not worthy "favor or support."
(See Leo XIIIth's Great Encyclicals, page 126).
In a nutshell, The Roman Church in this country
has always taught and is still teaching its subjects a separate
citizenship opposite to our American citizenship that the sole authority
to rule must come from the consent of the ruled.
This is the same divine right IDEA which rent this
country from stem to stern in 1860, which gashed its fair face with the
Mason and Dixon line!
This is the same identical teaching which swept
Abraham Lincoln from us at the most critical moment in our country's
history.
This is the concentrated treason which is today
being inculcated in the minds of one million seven hundred thousand boys
and girls who attend the Catholic parochial schools which we have wickedly
permitted her to erect in direct opposition to the Public Schools where
the fundamentals of POPULAR GOVERNMENT are instilled.
This is the ROMAN QUESTION, the irrepressible
conflict, the same old question which the great Lincoln understood and
defined so thoroughly in his campaign with Douglas - Douglas with the
Roman Catholic wife - Douglas, the Leopoldine, the defender of slavery,
who was chosen whether consciously or unconsciously, I cannot say, but
chosen just the same to champion the doctrine of class distinction
in this country with which they thought to destroy it.
"That is the issue that will continue in this
country when the poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent.
"It is the eternal struggle between these two
principles - right and wrong - throughout the world.
"They are the two principles that have stood
face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to
struggle.
"The one is the common right of humanity and
the other, the divine right of kings. . . . it is the same spirit that
says: `You work and toil and earn bread and I'll eat it,' no matter in
what shape it comes. . . . it is the same tyrannical principle."
(Lincoln's Speech at Alton, Illinois, October 15, 1858.)
Abraham Lincoln was the living embodiment of
"the common right of humanity." In his life the perfection of
the NEW IDEA had been materialized, had become a living, breathing FACT
which was unconquerable, yes, unassailable.
Lincoln knew the struggle would go on, after
"these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be
silent."
I believe that the prophetic, inimitable words
that Charles Chiniquy attributes to him in his Fifty Years In The
Church of Rome were said by him. They have the peculiar literary style
of Lincoln and could never be confused with the effusive, emotional manner
of expression of the Frenchman that Chiniquy had, than night with day.
The opening words:
"I do not pretend to be a prophet," ring
with the modesty which distinguishes many of Mr. Lincoln's greatest
sayings.
Listen:
"I do not pretend to be a prophet. But though
not a prophet, I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. That dark cloud is
coming from Rome. It will be 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 Jesuitism and merciless Inquisition, will
have been forever swept away from our country. Neither you, nor I, but our
children will live to see these things."—(Page 715, Fifty Years

THE
SUPPRESSED TRUTH
about the
ASSASSINATION Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN
Written and
Compiled by
BURKE McCARTY, Ex-Romanist
Chapter
VI
LINCOLN TAKES UP THE BURDEN
Certainly, no president of this Republic was ever
beset with so many staggering problems as President Lincoln. The more we
study those perilous years, the more we wonder at his great wisdom,
firmness and boundless patience and charity.
The Ultra-Pro-Slavery leaders had sworn to prevent
the seating of Abraham Lincoln in the Presidential chair. So certain were
they of the success of their plans that just as Buchanan was leaving the
White House, before the arrival of Mr. Lincoln, he turned and said:
"As George Washington was the first President, So James Buchanan will
be the last President of the United States."
Mr. Lincoln had no idea of the rottenness and
treason which were there to face him in Washington. Almost every
department in Washington was headed by a traitor to the Government, for
the arch-plotters had been placing their trusted tools preparatory to the
final blow.
The first months of his administration were spent
in Investigating these national assassins, and replacing them with men who
were true. This, in itself, was a task that only the judgment of Lincoln
could have accomplished.
Mr. Lincoln had no idea of the dimensions of the Secession
Plot. He was later to find that his first call for 75,000 volunteers
was inadequate and was amazed when the Governors of three Southern States
refused to send their quota.
Another disillusionment came when he noted that as
he increased his calls for troops, Jefferson Davis did not send out any
call. From that on Lincoln began to realize something of the
seriousness of the situation and his last call was for "three years
or during the war." Southern leaders also realized the fact
that they were up against the real thing.
When President Lincoln reached Philadelphia for
his first inauguration, there was a plot discovered and disclosed to
General John Hancock at Washington to assassinate Mr. Lincoln at
Baltimore, where he was to have stopped to address the citizens on his way
to the Capitol. The full details had been planned. An Italian barber well
known in Baltimore, a Romanist, was to have stabbed him while seated in
his carriage, when he started from the depot.
The son of William H. Seward. who was at that time
Senator and afterwards Lincoln's Secretary of State, was sent post-haste
to Philadelphia to warn Mr. Lincoln of his danger. It was a difficult
matter at first to convince him of the seriousness of it. He flatly
refused to go immediately, as was suggested by his friends, but promised
that after he had raised the flag on Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
and delivered an address to the members of the Legislature at Harrisburg,
he would take an earlier train to Washington, which he did, accompanied by
only onefriend, Wade C. Lammon, one of his law partners, and William H.
Pinkerton, head of the Detective Agency of that name in Chicago. The party
took the six o'clock train out of Philadelphia, quietly without attracting
any publicity, and as Mr. Lincoln was soundly sleeping, the train whizzed
through Baltimore, and got him to Washington early in the morning, where
he was taken in charge by the largest military and Secret Service escort a
president ever had been surrounded with. Thus was the first of Rome's
assassination plot thwarted.
The awakening of the President and the North came
on the morning of April 12, 1861 with the firing on Fort Sumpter.
This opening shot of the rebellion was sent by General Beauregard, Jesuit
leader of the military operations. Beauregard was a professed
Romanist and sprung from a distinguished family of Jesuits.
The North was wholly unprepared for war. They
seemed not to have been able to realize that there could ever be a
conflict between the citizens of the United States. This delusion was shot
to pieces on April 12th, and amidst the greatest consternation and
excitement preparations began in earnest.
That President Lincoln fully realized it was not a
Protestant South with which he was contending, is clearly evident from his
own words on this subject in his conversation with the Rev. Charles
Chiniquy, ex-Catholic priest of Kankakee, Illinois, who called once each
year during his administration at the White House to warn the President of
his danger of assassination by these enemies of Popular Government and
their agents, the Jesuits, through their Leopoldines.
"THE COMMON PEOPLE HEAR AND SEE THE BIG NOISY
WHEELS OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY CARS, AND THEY CALL HIM JEFF DAVIS,
LEE, THOMPSON, BEAUREGARD, SEMMES, OR OTHERS. THEY HONESTLY THINK THAT
THEY ARE THE MOTIVE POWER, THE FIRST CAUSE OF OUR TROUBLES, BUT IT 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, 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 AND LEADING FAMILIES OF THE SOUTH HAVE
RECEIVED THEIR EDUCATION IN GREAT PART, IF NOT ALL, FROM THE JESUITS AND
THE NUNS—HENCE THE DEGRADING PRINCIPLE OF SLAVERY, PRIDE AND CRUELTY,
WHICH ARE AS SECOND NATURE AMONG MANY OF THE PEOPLE."
And continuing Mr. Lincoln analyzed the
Roman psychology which played its part in his own murder, when he said:
"HENCE THAT STRANGE WANT OF FAIR PLAY FOR
HUMANITY; THAT IMPLACABLE HATRED AGAINST IDEALS OF EQUALITY AND LIBERTY,
AS WE FIND THEM IN THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST—IT IS TRUE THAT WE BOUGHT
FLORIDA, LOUISIANA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NEW MEXICO AND MISSOURI FROM SPAIN,
BUT ROME HAD PUT HER VIEWS OF HER ANTISOCIAL AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN MAXIMS
INTO THE VEINS OF THE PEOPLE, BEFORE THEY BECAME AMERICANS."
Surely, no clearer conception of
the masked enemy with which that great man was contending was ever
glimpsed. While other men studied books, Lincoln STUDIED MEN, and the
above interpretation of the terrible conflict in which he was the
Commander-in- Chief is startling in its accuracy. It is very simple now
for those of us who have the knowledge of an array of facts before us, to
see what Lincoln then saw, but we must remember when he spoke those words,
he was the very storm-center and chief actor in the social upheaval
without the advantage of retrospect. Mr. Lincoln had a prophetic sense
almost uncanny, which alone made him superior to any of his
contemporaries. More than once he told his close friends that he had a
strong premonition that he would not outlast the Rebellion, that his work
would he finished with it.
ROMAN CHURCH
ALWAYS HAS ADVOCATED CHATTEL SLAVERY
Disruption has always been the first motive of the
Jesuits, and black slavery was the rock Upon which they planned to rend
this government. There was no other principle, no ethics involved, never
is, so far as Jesuitism goes, except the fundamental principles of
the divine right rule of the popes of Rome.
From the earliest times the Roman Church advocated
human slavery. In the Middle Ages, when feudal slavery flourished, the
church fattened on the exploitation of the serfs who were bought and sold
with the land. These serfs were supposed to have no souls, and were in
precisely the same category as cattle. The great monasteries and nunneries
were among the largest owners of serfs. For instance, had Joan D' Arc
lived four hundred years before her time, she and her family would have
been among the serfs attached to the Monastery of San Ramey. In short, serfdom
was the basis of the wealth of the papacy.
It is true that in rare cases the church lifted
out of serfdom, a boy in whom it recognized some peculiar native talent or
personal trait which might be cultivated and turned to its own advantage,
but the act was simply the removal from the thralldom of serfdom to that
of ecciesistical slavery for further and more useful exploitation by more
exacting task masters, for the Roman church has always enslaved the minds
of its victims. The Jesuit Oath exacts the obedience of
"cadavers."
In the "Doctrone of the Jesuits" by Gury,
translated into the French by that brilliant educator and statesman, Paul
Bert in 1879 we find the position of the church and the Jesuits on black
slavery quoted as follows"Slavery does not constitute a crime before
an law, divine or human. What reasons 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 state of degradation in which
the hordes of Africa live, the slave trade may be considered as a
providential act,1 and we almost repudiate the
philanthropy which sees in a man but one thing—material liberty."
The above is the papal virus to which Lincoln
referred and with which the youths of the best families of the Southern
Confederacy were inoculated, and which made the leaders of the
ultra-pro-slavery forces an easy prey to the Roman hierarchy and its
priesthood in the great conspiracy or destruction which Lincoln visioned.
It was the virus which was let into the veins of
Mary E. Surratt and was passed on by her to her son, the arch-conspirator,
John H Surratt it was the opiate which silenced the voice of conscience
and kindness of heart of John Wilkes Booth, and nerved his hand to send
the bullet into the great brain of Abraham Lincoln; it was the deadly drug
which made Lewis Payne, the unfortunate, the happy-go-lucky
"Davy" Herold, the shiftless Edward Spangler, and the rest of
the non-Catholic tools, wax, in the hands of the arch-Leopoldines in this
wicked conspiracy to wreck this popular government.
This Jesuit virus that "Slavery does not
constitute a crime before any law, divine or human," was the deadly
drug that set the BLOOD OF THE SLAVE OWNERS ON FIRE, JUSTIFIED THEIR
"CAUSE" distorted their vision, controlled their ethics and
appealed so strongly to their economic interests, and it was the one big
urge underlying the whole progress of the treason of secession.
In the "A Memoir of Jefferson Davis, the
leader of the Southern Confederacy, published by his wife after his
demise, we find on page 445, this remark: "Mr. Davis's early
education had always inclined in the Roman Catholics, friends who could
not be alienated from the oppressed." In chapter 2nd, that gentleman
is quoted as follows:
"The Kentucky Catholic school called St.
Thomas College, when I was there was connected with the church. The
priests were Dominicans. They held large property; productive fields,
slaves, flour mills, flocks and herds. As an association they were rich.
Individually, they were vowed to poverty and self-abnegation. They were
diligent, in the care, both spiritual and material, of their parishioners'
wants. When I entered the school, a large majority of the boys belonged to
the Roman Catholic church. After a short time I was the only Protestant
boy remaining, and also the smallest boy in the school. From whatever
reason, the priests were particularly kind to me. Father Wallace,
afterwards bishop of Nashville, treated me with the fondness of a near
relative."
It is very obvious from the above that the
"kindness" shown to Jefferson Davis as a child clung to him and
influenced his whole life. It bore fruit, and his friendliness to the
Catholic church was well repaid by that institution which always, under
such circumstances, rewards its tools.
When Mr. Davis had been arrested after the close
of the Civil War and was to be tried for treason, it was the distinguished
Catholic attorney, Charles O'Connor, of New York City, who offered his
services, which were accepted in Mr. Davis's defense.
On Sept. 25th, 1863, Davis addressed the following
letter to Pius IXth:
"Richmond, Va., Sept. 25, 1863.
Very Venerable Sovereign Pontiff:
The letters which you have written to the clergy
of New Orleans and New York have been committed to me, and I have read
with emotion the deep grief therein expressed for the ruin and devastation
caused by the war, which is now being waged against the States and the
people who have selected me as their president, and your orders to your
clergy to exhort the people to peace and charity. I am deeply sensible of
the Christian charity which has impelled you to this reiterated appeal to
the clergy. It is for this reason I feel it my duty to express personally
and in the name of the Confederate States our gratitude for such
sentiments of Christian good feeling and love, and to assure Your
Holiness, that the people threatened even on their own hearts, with the
most cruel oppression and terrible carnage is desirous as it always has
been, to see the end of this impious war; that we have ever addressed
prayers to heaven for that issue which Your Holiness now desires; that we
desire none of our enemies possessions, that we merely fight to resist the
devastation of our country and the shedding of our best blood, and to
force them to let us live in peace under the protection of our own
institutions and under our laws, which not only insure to everyone the
enjoyment of his temporal rights but also the free exercise of his
religion.
I pray your Holiness to accept on the part of
myself and the people of the Confederate States our sincere thanks for the
efforts in favor of peace.
May the Lord preserve the days of Your Holiness
and keep you under His divine protection.
(Signed) Jefferson Davis."
It occurs to me that after perusing the above bit
of concentrated treason, any apologist for this leader of the Rebellion
would be out of order.
Here is the Pope's reply:
"Illustrious and honorable President,
Salutation.
We have just received with all suitable welcome
the persons sent by you to place in our hands your letter dated the 25th
of Sept last. Not slight was the pleasure we experienced when we learned
from those persons and the letter, with what feelings of joy and
gratitude, illustrious and honorable President, as soon as you were
informed of our letters to our venerable brother, John, Archbishop of New
York and John, Archbishop of New Orleans dated the 18th of October of last
year, and in which we have with all our strength exerted and exhorted
those venerable brothers that in their episcopal piety and solicitude they
should endeavor with the most ardent zeal and in our name, to bring about
the end of that fatal Civil War which has broken out in those countries in
order that the American people may obtain peace and concord and dwell
charitably together.
It is particularly agreeable to us to see that
you, illustrious and honorable President, and your people, were animated
with the same desires of peace and tranquility which we have In our
letters inculcated upon our venerable brothers. May it please God at the
same time to make other people of America and their rulers reflecting
seriously how terrible is civil war and what calamities it engenders,
listen to the inspirations of a calmer spirit and adopt resolutely the
part of peace.
As for us, we shall not cease to offer up the most
fervent prayers to God Almighty that He may pour out upon all its people
of America the spirit of peace and charity, and that He will stop the
great evils which afflict them. We at the same time beseech the God of
Pity to shed abroad upon you, the light of His Grace and attach you to us
by a perfect friendship.
Given at Rome, at St. Peters the 3rd day of
December, 1863 of our Pontificate Eighteen.
(Signed) Pius IXth."
The reader will note the recognition by the Pope
of a divided country and also his recognition of Davis as the President.
It was on the publication of this letter that the large desertions of
Roman Catholics from the ranks of the North began.
Mrs. Davis tells us:
"During Mr. Davis' imprisonment, the Holy
father sent a likeness of himself and wrote underneath it, with his own
hand, attested by the seal of the Cardinal Antonelli, `Come unto me all ye
who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'"
The lady further opines that:
"The dignity and the man both illustrated the
meek and lowly Lord of us all, whose Vice-Regent2 he was."
This remark leaves no doubt as to precisely where
she stood on the question. The writer was amused to learn that Jeff Davis
was a "Wet" which is also in keeping with his early education in
the Roman Church, and that his explanation upon an occasion when he was
pressed for his attitude upon the subject is almost identical with that of
the late J. Card. Gibbons. He says in part in his defense of the liquor
traffic:
`To destroy individual liberty, and moral
responsibility, (Get that, dear reader) would be to eradicate one evil by
the substitution of another, which it is submitted would be more fatal
than that for which it was offered as a remedy. The abuse and not the use
of stimulants, it must be confessed, is the evil to be remedied."
Upon the whole, surely no one can deny that Rome's
fatal virus worked in the veins of this Ultra-Pro-Slavery leader in the
late Rebellion, and that Lincoln was right when he recognized the
"antisocial and anti-Christian views" of the foe with which he
struggled. The fact that Jefferson Davis was not a professed Roman
Catholic did not in the slightest curtail his usefulness as a Leopoldine.
A sense of justice and gratitude should compel
every loyal American to remember the decisive and correct attitude of the
English government at the psychological moment in our Civil War. It stands
in sharp contrast with the meddlesome, treacherous letter of the Pope,
above quoted to the "Honorable and Illustrious President" of the
Seceding States. On page 476 the "Memoirs" by Mrs. Davis,
quotes in full the ultimatum of England which was received by Davis at
Richmond through the British Consul which says in part:
"After consulting with the law officers of
the Crown, Her Majesty's government have come to the decision that the
agents of the authorities of the so-called Confederate States have been
engaged in building vessels which would be at least partially equipped for
war purposes on leaving the ports of this country; that these war vessels
would undoubtedly be used against the United States, a country with which
this government is at peace; that this would be a violation of the
neutrality laws of the realm; and that the Government of the United States
would have just grounds for serious complaint against her Majesty's
Government, should they permit such an infraction of the friendly
relations subsisting between the two countries. No matter what might be
the difficulty of proving in a court of law that the parties procuring the
building of these vessels are agents of the so-called Confederate States,
it is universally understood throughout the world that they are so, and
Her Majesty's Government are satisfied that Mr. Davis would not deny that
they arc so. Under these circumstances, Her Majesty's Government protests
and remonstrates against any further efforts being made on the part of the
so-called Confederate States, or the authorities or agents thereof to
build or to cause to be built, to purchase or to cause to be purchased,
any such vessels as those styled as "Rams," or any other vessels
to be used for war purposes against the United States, or against any
country with which the United Kingdom is at peace or on terms of amity;
and Her Majesty's Government further protests against all acts in
violation of the neutrality laws of the realms.
I have the honor to be your Lordship's obedient
servant,
(Signed) Russell"
Those are the words with the "bark on."
No recognition of "Your Illustrious and Honorable President."
Only recognition of a UNITED STATES—preservation of the Union—for
which Abraham Lincoln was contending and gave his precious life.
The wobbly attitude of the past administrations in
Washington on the dangerous interference of the Sinn Fein3
element in this country during the present unpleasent attempt at
disruption in the British Empire on the so-called "Irish
Question" which is not Irish at all, but a Roman Catholic question,
makes one ashamed and humiliated at the hemming and hawing of the
politicians in high office at Washington.
On July 26, 1862 in a letter to Reverdy Johnson,
who by the way was the attorney who afterwards gave his distinguished
services to Mrs. Mary E. Surratt,4 Mr. Lincoln said:
"I am a patient man, always willing to
forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time
for repentence. Still, I must save the government if possible. What I
cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once
for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card
unplayed."
This was the same expression of sentiment which
had caused the death of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President and
Zachary Taylor, the twelfth President, the preservation of the UNION
and the fact that Lincoln did it, was the grounds for his physical
death, by these wreckers [The Roman Catholic church].
Nor did the great Lincoln stop pouring out his
patriotic soul all during these trying four years. On August 15, 1863, he
gave his opinion upon the Draft as follows:
"Shall we shrink from the necessary means to
maintain our free government, which our grandfathers employed to
establish, and our own fathers have already employed once to maintain it?
Are we degenerate? Has the manhood of our race run out?" (Complete
Works, Nicolay & Hay, Vol. 11, P. 391.)
The President spent the first months of his
administration feeling his way, so to speak. Delving into the conditions
in the various departments, finding traitors and carefully replacing them
by those whom he knew to be true. The lesson he was learning would have
staggered a man of less courage than Lincoln— the steadfast, unyielding
patriot, when any principle of right was in the balance.
It was the sifting time with Lincoln. In his
letter to Corning, June 1863 he writes:
"The man who stands by and says nothing when
the peril of his country's government is discussed, cannot be
misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy; much more,
if he talks ambiguously— talks for his country `with buts and ifs and
ands.'" (Barrett, p. 632.)
In addressing the members of the general assembly
Presbyterian Church, President Lincoln said:
"As a pilot, I have used my best exertions to
keep afloat our ship of state; and shall be glad to resign my trust at the
appointed time to another pilot more skillful and successful than I may
prove. In every case and at all hazards the government must be
perpetuated." (Complete Works, Vol. 2, Page 342.)
Thus almost daily was Lincoln telling of his
American creed, adding fuel to the fires of hatred which were burning in
the wicked hearts of his country's deadly enemies. Spurred on like a lot
of demons, they rounded up their hell hounds in and about Washington for
the final perfidious act.
It finally became manifest to President Lincoln
that the presence of the foreign troops in Mexico was a menace to the
safety of this country, and through our American Consul at Paris, this
government served notice on Napoleon, that Jesuit tool of the Pope,
that his troops must be removed from Mexico within the time indicated by
this country.5
That there could be no misunderstanding concerning
the attitude of the Lincoln administration toward the Republic of Mexico,
was made plainly evident by the "note" sent through Secretary of
State Seward to our Consul at Paris to be delivered to Napoleon IIIrd
which reads:
"The United States government does not desire
to suppress the fact that their sympathies are with Mexico, that is to say
with the Republic of Mexico nor does United States government, in any
sense, for any purpose, disapprove of the Republican government, now in
force in Mexico, or distrust the administration. Neither was there any
disposition apparently to deny the Liberals of Mexico financial
assistance."
When President Lincoln submitted to the Senate a
Treaty granting a loan of $11,000,000 to the Republic of Mexico, although
he made no recommendation upon the subject, it was a sufficient hint which
expressed his sympathy.
The demand that the French troops be removed
from Mexico was complied with to the letter, owing to complications in
situation in which France at the time was involved in Europe she feared
war with the United States.
As can be imagined, this was a terrible blow to
the CONSPIRATORS in Europe, Canada, and Mexico, not to speak of their
tools in this country. It served to practically break the morale of the
Confederate army, and hastened the end of the war with a Victory for the
right.
In the meantime events were shaping up in Mexico
in favor of the new Republic.
The Empress Carlotta within a few months after
their arrival in Mexico City, was sent to Rome by Maximillian to explain
in person that the strength of Popular Government there had been
underestimated; that it was impossible to restore the church property and
the rights [Praise God! Ain't God good? Sometimes the old whorish Pope
on the throne at the Vatican looses one!] of the clergy. The
important part of her mission, however, was to ask for more troops.
Her reception at the Vatican was simply
"withering"; the Pope was so chagrined and angry at the failure
of his designs and so severe in his reproach that the sensitive princess
was carried out bodily in an unconscious state, upon which she recovered a
mental wreck. She was incarcerated in the Castle of Bouchet near Brussels,
Belgium, where she was placed under constant surveillance, and was unaware
that on June 19th, 1867, Maximillian, her husband, was shot at sunrise at
Queretaro, Mexico, by the Revolutionists.6 This is the tragic
termination of what has always been alluded to as one of the greatest love
matches of the royalty of Europe.
A victory for the North was not indicated until
the very last days of the War. The Leopoldines left no stone unturned to
defeat Lincoln's renomination. They fully realized that if they did not,
it meant their doom. When the news of his re-election was flashed over the
wires, they did not give up - from it. They redoubled their
efforts. They saw more clearly than ever before that Abraham Lincoln was
their Nemesis. They knew only too well that he would be the stumbling
block to their future plans, for they felt that in Lincoln they would
always encounter a powerful champion for the preservation of the Union and
all its institutions. They feared with a deadly fear the influence of his
able pen and voice. They knew that to permit this calm, thorough,
clear—visioned man who had such a complete estimate of their perfidious
designs to serve at the helm during the RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD would mean
their ultimate rout in our affairs.

by Dr. Ron Powell
1 Here it is in print that the Catholic
church believes that they did the black man a favor by selling millions of
them and using their own slaves to put onto the sugar and coffee
plantations they owned in Central and South America, particularly Brazil.
Poor Mrs. Davis! She believes that that devil on a
golden throne is the "Vice-Regent" of God! Do you believe that
when Jesus promised to send us a "Comforter" that this
"Comforter" was an old wine-headed child molester that sits
there on the throne in 1998?
2 About 1981 or 1982 Harlan Popov, who
spent years in prison under communism, Pete Ruckman, and I sat at a table
in a Restaurant eating a meal. Pete Ruckman asked Brother Popov,
"What do you know about the newly elected Pope?"
Harlan Popov replied, "The present Pope
worked as a chemist and a chemical salesman during the war. He sold
chemicals to the Germans that killed the Jews. Also there were two
Cardinals in Poland. One compromised with the communists and kept his
`State approved' church. The other Cardinal did not compromise and was
thrown in jail. The present Pope is the one who compromised." Brother
Popov finished up saying, "It is common knowledge in Poland that this
present Pope was a child molester while Cardinal in Poland and that is a
difficult thing to stop even when becoming Pope!"
Dear Brother Popov is dead now. Gone on to meet
Jesus Christ whom he dearly loved. I worked for Harlan Popov before going
to Bible School. Their present organization is not KJB. Harlan Popov was a
KJB man!
3 One hundred and fity years later Sinn
Fein is still a terrorist organization dedicated to making all of Ireland
a Catholic controlled country. The Protestants in Northern Ireland voted
many, many, years ago to remain a part of England knowing that if they
were under the control of the Catholic southern part [Ireland] they would
be murdered!
Even with the country of Northern Ireland being a
part of England this murderous Roman Catholic organization has managed to
go into Northern Ireland and murder more than 50,000 Protestants! They
care nothing for placing bombs where they will mangle, and dismember,
women and children! None of the Protestants of the North have gone to the
South to do the same.
Then, President Clinton welcomed their political
leader to America to raise money and even had the devil in the White
House!
Clinton went to George Town University which is
the "Mother of all Jesuits schools". Clinton, if not secretly a
Catholic is definitely favorable to their form of despotic type of
government.
4 Mary E. Surratt is buried in a
Catholic church cemetery as one of the "faithful". She was one
of the main conspirators in the murder of Lincoln and was convicted and
hung! Yet the Catholic church considers her a member in good standing.
Why? She protected the priests and hanged rather than expose them!
5 These French troops were there to
topple the Mexican Government that had slapped the Catholic church full in
the face. They were also there to come into the Southern States to help
them win the war with the North if the situation looked like it was
winnable.
6 See how the Catholic church rewards
even a princess when they fail to do what the Pope thinks should have been
done. In this tragic situation the poor princess could not have done
anything to help the old drunk on the throne in Rome.
This devil in the Vatican was Pope Pious IXth and
he wrote an infamous paper titled, Syllabus and proclaimed on
December 8, 1864 articles that anathematizes the fundamentals of the
American Government. Leo XIIIth also agreed these. As-a-matter-of-fact the
Catholic church in 1999 still believes the same things and that is: that
the American government needs to be overthrown and brought under the
control of the Catholic church and her sodomite, womanizing, and
bloodthirsty priests!
