Knights Templar - I FINALLY Found the Link

追加: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]What's up everybody?

[00:00:02]Surprisingly enough, I don't think I've ever done a video on the Knights Templar. And that's because I'm kind of not sure what to think about them. They sound like a heavily armed precursor to the Jesuit order. But then when I hear about their international banking empire, I think of somebody else altogether with a certain affinity for gold and lending at interest. And well, they are the Knights Order of the Temple of Solomon. And so I've been looking for clues along those lines for many years.

[00:00:34]And I just found some stuff that makes a little sense. So let me just start throwing stuff at you. I don't have everything clicked in place in my head yet. Anyway, okay. So they were primarily a French organization and they've got castles and outposts all over the place. To the best of my understanding, the French and the English get along throughout history, but they do have a lot of places up there. They were major property owners, extremely rich as an organization, then not really shown here, but they owned quite a few places over in the Middle East. They owned the entire island of Cyprus for a while. and their famous disappearance happened in 1307, which I don't think there's anybody new here, but the dating gets screwy back around that time frame, but the order was given to arrest all the Templars in 1307, which is right at the beginning of all of the trials and tribulations.

[00:01:33]There was the great famine of 1314 where it just started raining and didn't stop for several months. Washed away all the top soil, ruined crops for years to come. And other reports say between 1333 and 48 things like this were happening on the island of Cyprus, the plague from the east had already broken out when an earthquake shook the foundations of the island and was accompanied by so frightful a hurricane that the inhabitants who had slain their slaves in order that they might not themselves be subjugated by them fled in dismay in all directions. The sea overflowed. The ships were dashed to pieces on the rocks and few outlived the terrific event whereby this fertile and blooming island was converted into a desert. Before the quake, there was a piferous wind that they say had to do with the plagues.

[00:02:27]So that is said about the island of Cyprus right here, a stronghold of the Knights Templar for a while. And they say it was blooming and fertile like a lush tropical island that got turned into a desert island which makes me wonder about that whole region. You know it was it used to be called the the fertile crescent and now it's all desert. Also in thousands of places chasms were formed from whence arose noxious vapors and as at that time natural occurrences were transformed into miracles. It was reported that a fiery meteor which descended on the earth far in the east had destroyed everything within a circumference of more than a hundred leagues infecting the air far and wide and then massive flooding and 1348 is also the time of the black death. So so the nice templar disappeared right around the same time as this earth catastrophe cycle. Also the history of the church is very tumultuous.

[00:03:24]There was the great schism between east and west in 1054.

[00:03:29]But then there was also a schism about who should be the rightful pope of the western empire. So there was a fight between Rome and Aignon. Then the Avignon papacy began in 1309 up to 1377.

[00:03:43]So all of this information is coming through a funnel point in history right at that time. And I've read accounts that some cities were lucky if they only lost twothirds and in some places 15 out of 16 were gone. So populations were decimated at this time. And also I don't know how much of this is fabricated but the nice templar disappeared 1307 and then the avenue papacy started 1309 and the nice templar were primarily a French organization.

[00:04:16]In a book on this, they call this a mystical diagram of the temple of Solomon. So I guess that's where the Templar cross comes from. And there's variations of that on the flag and code of arms for the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which was up till 1291, just before all the cataclysms. So let's read a little overview of these guys. During the 180 years of Crusades, the Templar wealth grew into huge a huge fortune. They owned over 9,000 manners and castles across Europe, all of which were tax-free. Now, I'm just going to throw this in here. If you're new around here, I call these guys the grays. But a repeating theme throughout history is king allows the grays to come into their kingdom and loan money at interest, usery, and all that. Also left out of the history books is they they dealt in alcohol and substances quite a bit, too.

[00:05:11]And I'm not saying this is what all of them are like today. This is just historically they were a very insular community that kept themselves separated from Christians and were known for certain practices. But King would let them in. They'd loan out a bunch of money. Next thing you know, they own everybody's houses. Then the pitchforks come out. They get ran out of town. And then two, three generations goes by and a new king lets them back in. So, every time I've always heard about the Templar wealth and them owning properties everywhere, that pops into my mind. So, they owned over 9,000 manners tax-free.

[00:05:47]Each property was farmed and produced revenues that were used to support the largest banking system in Europe, which they had established. The Templar wealth and power caused suspicion and jealousy among some members of the European nobility. slanderous rumors, yeah, were spread of secret rituals and devil worship. I swear this is the exact same narrative you get for the grays. And here, I'll give you a little spoiler where I'm going with all this. In 1306, King Philip the Fair ordered simultaneous arrest and expulsion of up to 100,000 grays all across France. So, the Knights Templar and International Banking System were all simultaneously arrested in 1307. And in 1306, all the grays had the same thing happen. And now you see why I'm making this video. Bet no cap on my mama. And it gets better.

[00:06:43]Hang around. Their main base of operations was southern France and Cataloonia, the area of the Cathars and the Meavvenian Kings. Barcelona, the capital of Cataloonia, was originally a Phoenician port. And this area along the border of Spain and France has long thought of itself as a state, people and culture separate from the rest of Spain.

[00:07:08]They even speak their own language, Catalonian, better known today as Catalonia.

[00:07:14]During the Middle Ages, 12th to 14th centuries, Catalonia was a powerhouse of gray thought, culture, and mysticism.

[00:07:22]This is the home of renowned philosopher Nakmanades and the birthplace of Cabala. So it's kind of a little enclave up against the Pyrenees which are a natural mountain barrier between Spain and France. And it's known as a main base of operations for the Knights Templar and the birthplace of Cabala right around the same time there. Amazing. What is certain is that King Philip IV of France was growing envious of the Templar popularity and wealth. It's always the jealous jealous king and was responsible for many of the slanderous rumors spread about them. Philip IV had once taken refuge from an anger angry mob in Paris at the Templar headquarters there. They gave him refuge from the mob. But it said that the king saw the magnificence of the Templar treasure and wanted it for himself. His nation was bankrupt. He was a weak king who was unpopular with the people. And he knew that the Templars were more powerful and wealthy than he was.

[00:08:26]On Friday, October the 13th, 1307, King Philip ordered simultaneous raids on all the Templar priies in his country.

[00:08:35]Within the next few days and weeks, hundreds of knights were captured, including the Grandmaster of the Order, Jacqu De Mole. People have wrote poems about their great wealth. and where did it go? They also had an entire fleet of ships that disappeared. And anybody that's watched my channel for a while has probably heard me ask several times, where did the Grays get all of their gold to be money lenders all throughout history. I mean, for being so persecuted, they seem to be set up pretty well. I I've never heard of, "Hey, did you hear about Johnny? He lost his job and he lost his house. had to flee the country. But now he loans gold to kings by the wagon load.

[00:09:16]The conquest of Jerusalem was the primary goal of the first crusade in 1095 to 1099.

[00:09:24]Then the nice templar officially formed in 1118.

[00:09:28]Now they say during the first crusade that the grays of Jerusalem fought side by side with the Muslims. Then fleeing the slaughter, a large group of them barricaded themselves inside the city's main synagogue. The crusaders surrounded the wooden building and set it ablaze, burning all who were inside. See a problem here?

[00:09:51]Yeah. How many buildings do you think there are in Jerusalem that are made out of wood? I even double checked this.

[00:09:58]Jerusalem's historic architecture is defined almost exclusively by pale local limestone. But somehow this was wooden and the crusaders surrounded it and burned it. But then in 1211 the Greeks from France and England started moving into the Holy Land. So could there have been some collusion between them and the Templars?

[00:10:20]Could be.

[00:10:23]Let's throw a little bit more out on the table and then we'll talk about what I've got on the grays during that time period. But the nice templar and gray communities interacted heavily during the Middle Ages, primarily through commerce, finance, and proximity to the Holy Land. They do like their proximity to that strip of sand there. As pioneering bankers, the Templars operated parallel to the gray financeers, occasionally protecting them during local conflicts, but also imposing imposing heavy taxes and property seizures. Now, it could be that the Templars stole their Babylonian money magic and started their own thing.

[00:11:02]I'm not 100% either way here. We'll talk briefly about the OG banking dynasty that came up after this in Florence. But three things that are never talked about in the same paragraph anywhere is the Grays, the Templars, and the Catastrophes, which were all around the same time here. The Templars revolutionized European finance by developing the first system of crossber letters of credit and loans. In doing so, they became direct competitors to gray and Lombard money lender lenders. I need to get into the Lombards. Let's just say they controlled Italy for a time uh who were some of the only groups permitted to charge interest by the Catholic Church. Now this is why there was always an arrangement between the grays and Christians is the church wouldn't allow Christians to charge interest to usery that was off limits for any Christian. So why would they say that it's okay for the Knights Templar?

[00:12:01]Well, maybe it's because they were just the muscle for the users.

[00:12:06]Historical records from the crusader states and regions like Cat Catalonia, there's that little enclave again, indicate a a deeply complex relationship. Templar knights occasionally offered military protection to gray communities facing mob violence or local threats. But they also exacted heavy tolls, taxes, and sometimes confiscated properties because yeah, that's what happens when a racket goes wrong with the mob. And why would the gray communities be facing mob violence?

[00:12:37]Oh, we're getting there. Some historians believe the Templars's early financial networking and their deep interest in mystical texts and secret knowledge were influenced by their time operating near gray scholars and cobbalis in Jerusalem.

[00:12:51]Was it now? Was it in Jerusalem or was it in Catalonia where they in invented this story of ancient mysticism?

[00:13:00]Just so you know, the Zohar was first published by Moses Deleó who lived 1240 to 1305.

[00:13:08]So 1305 06 and07. And he claimed this was an ancient lost manuscript. And after he passed, they went to his wife asking if they could get the original manuscript. And she said, "What manuscript?" He said, "Over in the corner there." And wrote that. And there's a lot of stuff like that around this time frame. A shared victimization coming to a tick- tock near you. When King Philip of France brutally dismantled the temple order in 1307, he utilized many of the exact same false accusations and someaphobic tropes that were historically used to persecute gay people. It's the whole BL scenario only when people in cities that are thousands of miles apart all come up with the same thing. How is that? I kind of make fun of the people now that say I don't believe in coincidences. But you got to admit there's a whole bag of coincidences here. What I should have done is read you guys descriptions and then asked Templars or grays.

[00:14:06]This is talking about the grays in France leading up to 1306.

[00:14:11]And it's written in a very progay manner. The economic specialization of gray communities in France during the high medieval period was intrinsically linked to the spectacular rise of the great champagne fairs from the 11th through 13th centuries. These six annual events in towns like Troy and Provence served as a central pivot for transuropean commerce connecting producers from Italy and Flanders with consumers across the continent. Gray merchants played a disproportionately vital role in this expansive economy, acting as multilingual agents and necessary financial conduits. Okay, they're writing this all glowing and flowery.

[00:14:58]But what's really going on here is they were in charge of all international trade. You had to they were the middlemen for anything from one kingdom to another. They controlled the cotton industry in England a lot like they took over the cotton industry in the south civil war days. Then just after this time frame I know that during the time of the Medici that they had turned Florence into a sweat shop. Twothirds of the city was working for these textile companies. their geographic mobility, as in not being loyal to any particular kingdom, and longest established kinship networks stretching from England to the Rhineland and the Mediterranean provided the crucial infrastructure required for long-d distanceance trade. At a time when political boundaries were fluid and standardized currency systems were lacking, these merchants excelled in the importation of high value portable commodities such as finished textiles, raw silk, and exotic spices which were easily transported and commanded significant profit margins.

[00:16:08]More crucial than the movement of goods, however, was their function as lenders and currency exchangers. The communities were instrument instrumental in the development of documentary credit, utilizing bills of exchange and letters of credit to allow transactions to occur without the constant peril of transporting large quantities of gold or silver across feudal territories. Now, what was it the Nice Templar did?

[00:16:37]Instead of risking robbery, they would deposit gold or silver at a local Templar stronghold. They would be issued a coded encrypted parchment. Then upon reaching their destination, they could exchange it for their gold back. Now, like I said earlier, they could have been in competition. This doesn't necessarily mean that they were in a racket together, but it does make a hell of a lot of sense that they were.

[00:17:03]While some grey lenders provided capital to finance grand aristocratic projects or military campaigns. Yeah, they financed wars too. They had so much gold. How did they get all that gold?

[00:17:16]The majority of their financial activities were dedicated to meeting the more immediate credit needs of the population. This included short-term loans to peasants needing seed. Payday advance loans. Anybody? 30% interest.

[00:17:32]artisans requiring materials and small-cale traders seeking working capital to participate in the local markets. And you know, speaking of where they get all of the gold, I I did a video a long time ago. This goes back all the way to ancient Rome and you know how the Senate mutinied Caesar and everybody came by and got their poke in.

[00:17:55]It turns out Caesar had returned home from a campaign and found out that something like half of the population had lost all of their homes to this gray banking empire. So he had put a stop to it and then shortly after was assassinated. So this debt slavery has been something that's plagued societies for thousands of years. And I guess you wind up with a lot of gold.

[00:18:20]Now, if you take out the years for the dark ages and overlap the years 1,00 through,300 with the years 300 AD and 500 AD, then you've got these champagne fairs. They also call this the medieval warm period and a time of abundance. You should mentally catalog that into like 300 to 500 AD. That's just a few hundred years or so after the time of Jesus and the Romans. King Philip recognized that the primary source of communal wealth was tied up in promisary notes and debt registers held against a multitude of Christian debtors, ranging from the nobility to the peasantry. The king declared that a significant portion of this immense portfolio of outstanding debts was now owed directly to the crown, effectively becoming the ultimate beneficiary of years of specialized financial labor. Yeah, let me tell you how this works. First, you make the wheat not worth very much one year, so the peasants don't hardly make any money off of their wheat sales. Plus, less wheat means less wheat to recede with.

[00:19:31]So the next year you jack the prices up on the seed and when they can't afford it, you say, "Oh, well I can still give it to you, but you got to give me half your harvest." They literally did the exact same racket with cotton in the South. And went on to become Lehman Brothers Banking in New York. And now this is great. In January of 1306, King King Phillip set up a secret plan to strip the grays of their belongings and expel them from the country. Oh, and of course this is on the 9th of Ov.

[00:20:02]Everything happens on the 9th of A. The temple was destroyed that day.

[00:20:06]Everybody's everybody that's enemies of the graves, they all conspire to attack them on the 9th of Ov. Every single time it was possible to complete the arrests in one day because the orders had been kept secret. The authorities knew the whereabouts of the grays and they were taken by surprise. 100,000 of them. July 22nd, 1306, took all their gold, took all their properties, and then in 1307, same King Phillip orchestrated a secret arrest of the Knights Templar to seize their wealth and all of their properties. So, either King Phillip had a coke and gambling problem, just couldn't hold on to that money, or things are looking really suspicious here. And I mean, how many times have you heard that this is the origin of Friday the 13th because they opened the sealed letters on Friday, October 13th?

[00:20:58]You hear about the Templars everywhere.

[00:21:02]Never hear about what happened with the Grays the year before. And the amount of praise and mystique about the nice Templars had me curious for a long time.

[00:21:12]Keep in mind, it was the Catholic Church, the Juit colleges that were in charge of education for a long time. And they're the ones that actually came up with the history from this period. Yeah, the grays have got involved with our textbooks in the last hundred years, but history was written by the Catholic Church. So everything is favorable to them.

[00:21:33]We really haven't got into the church and the bigger picture here. So you guys know the movie Braveheart. In that the the king that's trying to invade Scotland is Edward Longshanks and he had expelled the grays from England in 1290.

[00:21:50]Then many of them moved to France. Canon law forbade Christians from charging interest on loans. Gray law permitted it at least when lending to non-graays. for almost 200 years. That legal gap meant gray financers had a near monopoly on credit in England. So they were expelled in 1290. Long story short, they helped finance the invasion of Scotland in 1296.

[00:22:16]And it turns out Braveheart was right all along.

[00:22:19]>> What are they responsible for? I think that they're not blameless in that conflict. There's been aggression and retaliation and aggression. It's just part of being in conflict and being at war. So, they're not blameless. Of course, they're not.

[00:22:35]>> Wait a minute. He's still bl >> Wait a minute. You're still not bending the knee to the people that have meddled in international affairs for thousands of years. How dare you say the people that own our music industry and entertainment industry and entire system of finance are responsible for anything.

[00:22:52]Never bend the knee. Never give them an inch. They'll take a mile. Anyway, William Wallace, Braveheart, lived from 1270 to 1305.

[00:23:02]So, there's just so much going on at this point in time. And I've known that for a while, but I keep learning more more and more things funnel down to right here. That's why I say the 1300s was the beginning of our modern era. I I don't think I've proven definitively here that the Knights Templar and the Grays were in cahoots, but I I think it's a good start to an investigation.

[00:23:26]And all of this was condoned by the Catholic Church who was split into multiple factions at this time. And also apparently those orders weren't kept completely secret because a whole Templar fe fleet like multiple multiple ships all boned out of port at the right time and nobody knows what happened to any of them. Did they go to America? I know because of Hollywood we think of this as a very simplistic primitive time but it wasn't. They kept logs at the ports. They knew who was coming and going. They taxed the merchants. The world operated just like it does today and somehow a whole fleet of ships disappeared. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it. I'll catch you on the next one. Static out.
