Obama in recent days has been criticized for speaking out against the Brexit dilemma. While at first glance it appeared that the American President had virtually no authority in the matter by any stretch of the imagination, it now looks as though he spoke from a position of preemptive authority. Newly leaked documents pertaining to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership more than imply that with passing of the trade treaty predominately American-based multinational companies, with the support of Washington DC, will be granted the abilities to rewrite European Union trade laws themselves. And for the most part this has already been agreed to by European Parliaments.

At an event organized earlier this week by the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus, the growing movement to boycott, divest and sanction the Israel state for its rampant and ongoing human rights abuses was lambasted over imagined concerns relating to both security and economic dependency. So while financial allies of the United States government feel entitled to literally rewrite laws for foreign bodies, its own policies are willfully manipulated by Israeli interests. America pulls the strings of the world, and Israel pulls the strings of America, but who pulls Israel’s strings?

What could explain the lure that the Israeli state has on politicians in the west? I have an idea. It will sound crazy, but what’s crazier is the sense it makes.

Friday the 13th, the date itself, supposedly first gained cultural significance when the Vatican ordered for all Knights Templar to be murdered, strictly as means for the Holy See (and the Medici family dynasty) to blatantly re-appropriate the banking system which the Templars had been establishing across Europe. I think most of that is no longer debatable. And much of the power that the Templars had been accumulating reportedly came from something they found in their travels into the holy land, which is the part to this where subjectivity goes into play as far as what exactly it was they unearthed, if indeed there was actually anything at all. I’m making an educated guess though, with the item(s) being something never publicly considered before.

What if the Templars had uncovered something huge, and the Vatican electing to take them down involved not merely claiming the banking system for its own, but claiming/reclaiming “x” item(s)? I do not think the Vatican’s resources and inquisitions ever found what the Templars possessed, not until culmination of the mystery of Rennes-le-Château in the late 1800s. I suspect that all of the “Et in Arcadia ego” stuff plays into this as well. And from the late 1800s to the end of World War 2, when the Vatican had this thing in its possession, was admittedly a dark era for the church as the Vatican pushed curiously dangerous politics onto the world stage, up to and including its Reichskonkordat treaty signed with the Nazis.

What if the establishing of the official Israeli state after WW2 was cover for the physical return of said item(s) to the holy land of Israel, and its continued presence there is the source for the levels of control allowed over foreign policy-makers elsewhere? It would have to be something comparable to what the Ark of the Covenant is supposed to be, a real and frightening example proving the existence of a destructive god beyond any shadow of a doubt, like Raiders of the Lost Ark for real. Something old world mystical and scary enough to make any world leader shut up and play along as told.

Something like Baphomet, the patron devil of secrecy. I think the Templars had found it contained somewhere around the Middle East centuries past, and while whomever originally captured the demon has been lost to the sands of time, it has been wielded as a secret weapon ever since. I’d even suggest that the Sandman character’s plight at the start of Neil Gaiman’s epic comic book series was an unknowing ode from the Collective Unconscious to this clandestine blasphemy. I propose that the Powers That Be in Israel have Baphomet bound, unveiling it on occasion like a show-pony to intimidate the captains of industry and leaders of men, but its influence is soberly proving to be very much a two-way street. They seek for it to do their bidding, but its control slips through nonetheless.

Christianity proved not old enough to successfully bind the demon, and the resulting industrialization and sociopolitical divides over the early decades of the 20th century met with the greatest war in the history of mankind. So, the decision was collectively made by those in the know to relocate Baphomet to where it was originally housed. Except that the wisdom of the ancients has miserably been lost. Today’s global political leaders, the wealthiest 1%, multinational CEOs and the like, all know of Israel’s secret, which would also explain how increasingly reckless they can all be with matters like the environment and the economy. Either they lost out to temptation and have bargained for their own personal enrichment, or they know all hope truly is lost.
