"Pope Clement, Chevalier Guillaume de Nogaret, King Philippe, before a year, I am ordering you to appear before the tribunal of God. Cursed you will all be! Cursed until the 13th generation!"
~ Jacques DeMolay
France. March 18th, 1314.
Ahhh spring time in Paris. Paris in the Dark Ages. It's a beautiful day, the birds are chirping in the trees along the winding rues, the flowers bloom softly in the sunlight and King Philip the Fourth, Philip the 'Fair' is having a barbeque on the steps of Notre Dame. The guest of Honor, one Jacque DeMolay. Grand Master of the Knights Templars, the combat monks of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Known as the 'Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon'. Veterans of the first Crusades. Protectorate of the pilgrims on their trek to reclaim the Holy Land. Guardians of the Templum Domini~ The Temple Mount. They are an order of Knights, farmers, chaplins, scholars and most importantly to this little narrative, bankers. It is this last function that will earn them their most ignoble label: Heretics!!!
"In 1135, the Order started lending money to Spanish pilgrims who wanted to travel to the Holy Land. The Knights' involvement in banking grew over time into a new basis for money, as Templars became increasingly involved in banking activities. One indication of their powerful political connections is that the Templars' involvement in usury did not lead to more controversy within the Order and the church at large. The charge was typically sidestepped, by a stipulation that the Templars retained the rights to the production of mortgaged property." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar
That's a lot of usury flowing into the coffers of the Templars. But it's all good. They are after all nothing but 'Poor knights of Christ'. By 1293, when Jacques DeMolay is making the scene, the 'Poor Knights of Christ' are raking in the cash. Enough money to raise eyes and envy in both popes & kings. Namely Pope Clement the fifth and Frances pretty boy king, Philip the Fair. In 1307 Philip arranged for a little sit-down-face-to-face between Jacques, then current grand master and poobah of the order, and his lapdog pope Clement. This is where the term 'Never turn down a fifth' comes from incidentaly. Well what actually happened is the stuff legends (and secret societys) are made of.
"Out of respect for the King and his Order, he sailed to France. King Philip IV ordered de Molai to have an audience with Pope Clement V, so that plans could be made to reclaim the Holy Land for the one true Church. De Molai was then captured. The whereabouts of de Molai were not known, and he would not be seen for another five years. De Molai and the Knights Templar were charged with numerous false crimes of heresy, which included the worship of false idols (Baphomet).
This would allow King Philip IV and Pope Clement V to destroy the Order of Knights Templar and claim the wealth. The Knights Templar were powerless to stand against such charges, and on Friday, October 13th, the Knights of the Order were arrested and imprisoned. This left a last impression on the people who loved the Order of Knights Templar, and that moment in history would not be forgotten."
Now we know why Friday the 13th is considered, by and large, to be one giant Karmaic shit sandwich. Or so the story, at least this one, goes. With a little bit of that pious love we call Torute a lot of unspeakable facts about the Templars comes to light. Worshipping false gods & idols was a pretty serious charge, as was whistling on Tuesday, eating red meat on the third night of the feast of St.Whasis and many other sundry little crimes not worth the bother of mentioning. But worst of all was the admissions of ... oh my god i'm almost afraid to even type it's unspeakable name here.. HOMOSEXUALITY.. Da-Da-Daahhhhhhh!!! That's right after having the Church stick hot irons up Templar bum day in and day out, some of them confessed to having took it up the rear (While not being tortured - they don't count ass raping on the church clock apparently). Well theres a lot of things that just don't fly when your killing saracens in the name of the lord, and Sodomy is one of those things. Right up there with talking decapitated heads and strange looking mananimal gods.
So here we are seven years later since DeMolay's arrest. He stands at the stake. The stern countenace of a warrior, looking into his accusers eyes with only courage. He looks regal, even after spending the better part of the last seven years being tortured. His order is shattered. England & Spains Hospitalers of St.John of Jerusalem & of Rhodes & Malta. Some members will travel to Scottland, where an excommunicated king Robert the Bruce, will offer sanctuary. In portugal, they will become the Order of Christ, predicting a trend in marketing when you get too vilified, just change the name. Read the right books (or wrong books) and you might hear rumors of the birth of Freemasonry. Secret handshakes. Three assassins and King Solomons architecht. Goat headed Gods with batwings. Jesus H. Baphomet- how long 'til the enlightenment again?
"Let evil swiftly befall those who have wrongly condemned us - God will avenge us." Where supposedly his last words. Others have it as 'Pope Clement, Chevalier Guillaume de Nogaret, King Philippe, before a year, I am ordering you to appear before the tribunal of God. Cursed you will all be! Cursed until the 13th generation!'
But what happens next?
Pope Clement the V: Diesof dysentery. Dysentery defined by my Medical dictionary as: "Any of various disorders marked by inflammation of the intestines, especially of the colon and attended by pain in the abdomen, tenesmus and frequent stools containing blood and mucus. Causes include chemical irritants, bacteria, protozoa or parasitic worms." He literally shit himself to death.
King Philip the Fair or the fourth dies the seven months later in November, actually on St.Andrew's day to be exact, which goes to show you how well beloved the king was by that paticular saint. Guillaume de Nogaret, who was responsible for most of the 'Leg work' with the torture and accusations also dies the same year. It is not mentioned if it was the Dysentery or the wrath of St.Andrew as well.
So far the DeMolay curse is three for nothing. Not bad as far as curses go. But wait lets set our search engines for "Jacques DeMolay + French Revolution + hot goth grrls".
Good. Now lets try it without the 'hot goth grrls' and we get this little jewel of an article called:
Jacques DeMolay thou art Avenged!Which goes on to say~
"Since popes normally don't have children, and de Nogaret was a mere tool of the French king, the curse must have fallen most heavily on the French kings, right? The French writer Maurice Druon has produced six volumes called Les Rois Maudits where he shows how the entire Capetian dynasty fell because of the curse, and the Hundred Years War started because of it.
But the story doesn't stop there of course. Legend has it that during the days of the French Revolution, nearly 500 years after de Molay's death, an anonymous man from the crowd jumped onto the guillotine just as Louis XVI had been decapitated, dipped his hand in the king's blood, and cried: 'Jacques de Molay, tu es vengé!'
Most parts of this story - excluding the dates - are unverified legends, most likely inventions of a later age. However, it is a powerful image: To see centuries of wrongdoing concentrated in the red on a man's hand, as he is shouting about revenge."
