The Banking Backstory Behind Friday The 13th

The unlucky Friday the 13th is one of the most well-recognized superstitions in the Western world.  This tradition is over 700 years old and has a very interesting origin.

During the 12th century there was a massive religious war that consumed most of Europe and Asia.  Europeans referred to these times as “the crusades”.  This war lasted centuries and allowed an elite class of knights to accumulate so much power and wealth that their influence rivaled both the monarchy and the church.  The knights of the temple of Solomon, or more commonly known as “The Knights Templar” were the most influential political force of their time.  They were the world’s first international bankers and were the corporate giant of the middle ages.

The Templar Knights were a military force throughout the entire crusades, but didn’t become a strong political organization until they were given diplomatic immunity by the church in 1126.  Their close relationship with the church was unusual for the time, as the lifestyle of a knight was usually associated more with the monarchy.  The Knights Templar represented both the warrior and the priest, and were often referred to as the “fighting monks”.  This best-of-both-worlds diplomacy allowed the knights to form their own political dynasty that transcended the established powers of the time.  They did not have to abide by the same rules as the church or the monarchy, but they had the advantage and privileges of both institutions. 

During the crusades it was rumored that the Templars studied alchemy and discovered forbidden knowledge on their journeys.  This would not be the first time that this has happened in history, it is actually quite common for conquerors to return home with ancient artifacts, just like Napoleon did with the Rosetta Stone, for example.  Some say that instead of offering their discoveries to museums, the Templars kept the artifacts and knowledge within their own order.  This is all speculation and legend, but what we do know for certain is that the Templars were sneaky businessmen and became the world’s first multinational bankers.


They had most of the known world caught in a complex pyramid scheme that is eerily similar to the scams that are being run by international bankers today.  They collected taxes for protecting trade roads, bankrolled both sides of all the wars and exploited the massive peasant class and used them as workhorses to build their fortunes.  Through these shady practices the knights ended up having more money than the monarchy and the church combined.  Both the church and the monarchy were deeply in debt to the Templars from loans they had taken out, so one would be able to argue quite easily that the Templars were the most dominant political institution of the time.

Eventually the monarchy grew very threatened by the immense power of the Knights Templar.  The person to finally take action against the Templars was King Phillip the 4th of France.  Since the Templars were under the protection of the church, King Phillip needed papal permission to overthrow them.  In order to get this blessing Phillip covertly murdered two popes in less than a year until a candidate of his choice was in power.  With all the necessary steps taken King Phillip made his move.

On the morning of Friday, April 13, 1307 there was a surprise raid on all of the Templar offices.  The knights were being arrested on over a hundred different counts of heresy and treason . . . and confessed after being brutally tortured. After a short, rigged trial the Templars were sentenced to burn at the stake.  The Grand Master of the Knights Templar cursed the king and pope before he was executed, and, synchronistically, both died within the year.

It is said that a fleet of Templar warships managed to escape France the night before the raids, and continued to control world events from behind the scenes.  They apparently did this by changing their names and moving to various different parts of the known world.  In fact, it is said by many that the Templars who managed to escape the Inquisition fled to Switzerland where they reestablished their international banking cartel.

This theory makes sense considering that the country has been a safe haven for bankers and robber barons for centuries.  There are over 500 major banking institutions in Switzerland; the majority of them are owned and controlled by various elite bloodlines and covert organizations that I’ll describe in detail later on. It is estimated that 35% of all the private wealth globally is held in Switzerland. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is also based in Switzerland. These banks are among some of the only financial institutions in Europe who aren’t subject to audits and investigations from the new European Union government.

The financial district in London called “The City”, as well as the Vatican in Italy is also given the same kind of protection and secrecy, but they are the only areas in Europe that have those kinds of privileges.  It is also rather interesting that the Swiss Guard is responsible for guarding the pope (located in Italy, not Switzerland), a task that was once the job of the Knights Templar.

The flag of Switzerland is actually an inversion of the Templar’s shield, the flag being red with a white cross and the shield being white with a red cross.  The banking elite may have ties to the areas government and economy, but they have nothing to do with the people of Switzerland.  They do not represent them, and their actions should not be held against the people of this country.  In fact, Switzerland is one of the best places on earth to live, with very free social policies.  They have a low crime rate, because everyone in the country is armed and drugs are legal.  They also remain neutral in all major wars, but, still, when there is smoke there is usually fire.

Although I wouldn’t mind living in Switzerland myself, and imagine it is filled with wonderful people, there are just too many clues pointing to this region as playing a vital role in the many worldwide banking schemes.  With this being a very realistic possibility, Templar influence would seem to put the puzzle together nicely, but it’s not something that we have been able to prove yet.  Switzerland is just one of the many places where the Elite have established a stronghold to operate from; the same goes with “The City” in London, the Vatican, Washington DC and Zionist Israel.  The people that live in these places have nothing to do with the Elite’s plans, aside from being used as workhorses, cannon fodder and political pawns.

Since the days of their fall from grace, the Templar Knights and their predecessors have learned their lesson, and have continued their work in secret.  Even if the official order went underground, their business model and diplomatic strategies are still very much alive today and have a deep impact on our way of life.  The Templars became an all-powerful “invisible government” by mastering and manipulating economics much like the bankers that influence world events today.  In fact, today’s multinational bankers follow the Templars' model precisely and use all of the same age-old tactics to exploit the masses.

if no mention of rothschilds...or a rational explanation of why templars and NOT the rothschilds are the modern vampire money changers...then this looks like a smokescreen for the rothschilds....note that the training of the templars...spitting on the cross and kissing each other on the mouth...was more akin to the kind of satanism found in the money changers...than a corrupted knight

J.G Vibes said...

lol, the Rothschilds are mentioned many many times throughout the book, however, they didn't come around til afew hundred years later, so thats why they arent mentioned in this chapter, as they have nothing to do with the forming of the order itself :-)

To much "Air" and promise for me. I need substance and specific direction and details. The who,what,when, where, why, needs filling-in for this promise of an expose to mean anything or hold my attention.

It all sounds good, but, where';s the substance to sink your teeth into. Not here, Not Yet?

An interesting historical point is that it was during the first crusade period that the recently converted Askenazi spread themselves around Europe, calling themselves 'Jews' for the first time and claiming to be the decedents of the ancient Hebrews.

A few centuries later the English Bible translators decided to change words such as 'Israelite','Hebrew','Judean' etc. to the more modern word 'Jew', which had no direct equivalent in Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic. Anyone can verify this with a pre-17th Century version of the Bible compared to a modern version.

One example, "The King of the Jews", should be (and was originally) rendered "The King of the Judeans". A Judean (Ioudaioi in Greek) being someone who comes from Judea and not a religious group or sect. This subtle little change profoundly affects the meaning of the words.

Jews are an invented people.

From what I have read, the Templars did not charge interest so to say they started a pyramid scheme is somewhat disingenuous at best. Fiat banking did not begin until later....guess there is not much need to buy that book.....

There is lot of inaccuracies in this. Drugs are not legal in Switzerland, The Templars did not guard the Pope, the swiss flag looks nothing like the templar cross and there is no evidence at all that friday 13th is a 700 year old superstition - in fact it references from the 19th Century - you wont find it anywhere in literature before this. Apart from that.......

Some historians claim that although the crusades were "sold" to the people as a religious venture, it was actually an economic war to gain control of the Silk Road which crossed Asia and ended in Jerusalem. Along its six thousand miles goods were exchanged by traders many times, each trade upping the prices, and western rulers wanted to control those profits.

@Nick: Literature has been manipulated since the written word was invented. 10/13 (Oct. 13) is the Templar double-cross day. Not sure if it was a Friday. Doesn't much matter.

@6:41AM Anon: Textbook explanations provide for these "economic" excuses. The economics were simply a bonus for controlling the most sought after region on the planet. Controlling the "Holy Land" has untold amounts of political and strategic value.

@5:23AM Anon: "Fiat" currency (not banking) means debt based currency, not interest based banking. Interest (known as usury back in the day) has been utilized with 'banking' and money lending since Babylon.

True enough, the Holy Roman Catholic Church explicitly prohibited the charging of interest(usury) for any Christian being within it's sphere of influence for hundreds of years, the Templar Knights included.

That is what some consider to be the original reason that Jews first established domination in the banking industry as they could charge interest and thus take bigger risks on bigger loans - the types of loans governments take.

Post Script - When you consider that just one product like a bolt of silk could generate perhaps a dozen 'exchange taxes' you can see the huge amounts of money that could be earned.

The Papal Bull which was issued to take the Holy Land basically said that the rulers who controlled all lands taken could control the wealth therein, but the Roman Church wanted to control the souls of the non-Christian heathens who lived there.
After the west was kicked out they looked for ways to the east by sailing west, and that's why Columbus was sponsored. Mick.

I have to agree with andthetruthwillsetyoufree. this makes it out to be that the knights templar are actually the rothschilds when we know damn well they aren't. if the knights were still around, its obvious that the red shield bankers would own their pathetic little hides.

Now I did hear quite recently actually that the knights did sort of have a hand in founding Switzerland, so I can say thats undeniable. I just hope the rest of the book points to the real truth.

Illuminati Agenda said...

Interesting and nice 'tie in' with friday the 13th ;) Intriguing point about the Swiss flag too - makes sense...

J.G Vibes said...

thanks for all the comments guys! i also appreciate and understand some of your criticisms, this article is specifically dealing with Friday the 13th and its connection to banking so there are many many aspects of the new world agenda that are left out, as this specific entree deals only with Friday the 13th.

the Hegelian dialectic, the Illuminati bloodlines, the history of Zionism and much much more are all covered in the rest of the book.

i invite you to check out the link below, and take a gander at the table of contents for this project, im sure you will see that this essay is just a small portion a much broader research project that actually does include the issues that you guys are mentioning :-)

Neat that the banking downgrade by S+P of several Eurpean countries came on a friday the 13th, this year. SandP is not an "official" group and has heavy ties with globalists/banking elites. Their ratings are entirely scripted - they are in no way independent, though they appear to be. Kind of like the "federal reserve."

I hope your words "our generation" apply to people of all ages, and I enjoy your writing.

When I see phrases like "forbidden knowledge" in an article, even in a context such as this, it strikes me as a fast-food answer to a gameshow question no one asked. It's like starting off a paragraph with a short, detailed description of, say, a schoolkid's clothes, and then saying, "and then he went to school and learned things." I do appreciate the use of the word "church" instead of "Christianity," however.
