CHAPTER 7
THE NEW ATLANTIS
The history books tell us that the colonists made the long and dangerous journey in small ships in order to find a place where they could worship God, each according to the dictates of his own conscience. There is however much more to the story than our historians have dared to suggest.
— Manly P. Hall
What’s in a name? Despite the indifference betrayed by Juliet’s classic question, the ancient Hebrews held names to be sacred and full of latent meaning.
When it comes to the naming of our own continent, America, the true history is seldom properly understood today. Careful examination of historical records shows that the continent was not named after Amerigo Vespucci, as commonly imagined. Rather, the mapmaker, astonishingly, renamed himself after the New World. Some of his friends and future historians then set in motion the false claims that Vespucci’s Christian name was the source for the term America.
Manly P. Hall, quoting James Morgan Pryse, sums up the true story rather succinctly.
These Children of the Sun adore the Plumed Serpent, who is the messenger of the Sun. He was the God Quetzalcoatl in Mexico, Gucumatz in Quiche; and in Peru he was called Amaru. From the latter name comes our word America. Amaruca is, literally translated, ‘Land of the Plumed Serpent.’
— Manly P. Hall (quoting James Morgan Pryse)[31]
The name America was not provided by the Europeans, but rather was used by them as an adaptation of the native Incan term, Amaruca.[32]
This was, from the very beginning, the land of the plumed serpent. Those familiar with the bloody sacrificial systems of the Aztecs, the Mayans, and the Incas will perhaps understand the inference. But let me be clear, I am not speaking of an earthly serpent nor of a primitive superstition. Rather, it is apparent from the ancient native myths surrounding the plumed serpents of various people groups that they all pointed to a common entity. Namely, the serpent of Genesis 1, whom we know as Satan.
Our history books are strangely silent on the knowledge which the ancient world civilizations had of the American continents. Yet, it is clear from the evidence available that the Phoenicians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Vikings traveled to the New World hundreds and even thousands of years before Columbus.[33] America was known to the ancients, and its destiny had been carefully planned by the mystery schools and secret societies for hundreds of years before its colonization began in earnest.
Manly P. Hall, the noted Freemason historian, was far from ignorant of these truths, which he expressed in his classic work The Secret Destiny of America.[34]
By the wisdom then of those gods who are eternally vigilant over the needs of man, the blessed lands of the west were set apart, for none of the great civilizations of the past rose in North America to overshadow the continent with the ruins of old tradition, or to set up the corruptions of old administrative policy. Foreign nations came to this continent in times long ago; but they formed no permanent settlements nor attempted any program of colonization … Here was a virgin continent populated only by nomadic Indian tribes, a vast territory suitable in every way for the great human experiment of the democratic commonwealth.
— Manly P. Hall
The implications are striking. Long before the time of Francis Bacon, America had been set apart as the trestleboard for the fulfillment of an ancient plan. Our continent would be the site where the occult orders would labor to erect the New Atlantis and to complete the Master Work.
Indeed, from the very start of the colonization of America, there were two distinct forces at work. One was the obvious and undisguised migration of God-fearing people seeking the religious freedoms which the New World could provide. The other, was the quiet infiltration of the same New World by occult adepts, intent on fulfilling their own ancient designs for the virgin land.
It was out of this context, from this early melting pot of characters, that the Revolutionary war of the late eighteenth century was waged. We have every indication that the war was in large part instigated and supported by the powerful secret societies of Europe. That is not to say that we were without our homegrown American heroes, but merely to emphasize that they were all caught up in something far larger and older than they perhaps comprehended. Indeed, the whole notion of a democratic republic was an idea long stewarded by the secret societies, saved up for the New Atlantis.
Even after America had won her freedom, the fires of revolution would continue to burn through other countries around the world; none more notably than France. And in France we can see even more clearly the fingerprints of the secret orders truly behind this newfound fascination with freedom, liberty, rationalism, and democracy. The Jacobins were the obvious front group, but beneath them were the Bavarian Order of Illuminists (better known as the Illuminati) and their Rothschild patrons. It is widely known that Adam Weishaupt formed the Illuminati in 1776, but what is less often understood is that Weishaupt was a former Jesuit and that his new order was little more than another front for the cunning Catholic deceivers. So, it was the Jesuits who were truly responsible for fomenting the French Revolution, and they have continued that devious tradition for most of the other wars waged over the past three centuries.
Yet, of all the countries thrusting aside the antiquated ways of the monarchies and joining this new democratic commonwealth of nations, the United States of America was always set aside for a peculiar purpose. Our own hand-selected leaders have often intimated as much.
Skull and Bones man, George W. Bush, had this to say in his second Inaugural Address in 2005: “When our Founders declared a new order of the ages … they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled.”
If you think this ancient hope Bush refers to must be a good thing, then you do not yet understand. This is Satan’s hope, not Yahweh’s. And while our nation has always been populated by many firm Christians, the angel riding in the whirlwind and directing the storm of our nation – as mentioned by G.W. in his first Inaugural Address in 2001 – is none other than the storm god himself.
I am going to level with you. The United States was formed and built in a very particular way so as to bring about the Man of Sin. The birthing of the Antichrist has always been the ultimate unspoken goal of our republic. After all, the New Atlantis would be nothing without the return of old Saturn’s reign. However, demonstrating this point beyond a reasonable doubt will take a few more chapters of groundwork. From a purely human perspective, this sort of far-reaching plan – stretching out over so many generations – is nearly inconceivable. But we must remember that the unifying force behind the arcane orders is none other than Lucifer himself. The dark lord and his spirit minions are the ones guiding the Master Work, and they have been doing so for literally thousands of years.
I cannot overstate the importance of grasping the existence of the occult current flowing through our nation’s history, from our founding down to the present day. This influence is not limited to any single secret society or mystery school. However, fifteen of our first forty-three presidents were Freemasons. And Masons have laid the cornerstones for most of the important governmental buildings in Washington, D.C. In fact, George Washington himself participated in the cornerstone laying ritual for the Capitol building, and he wore his Masonic regalia. Though the Masons would doubtless protest the claim, Christians of discernment have long identified the Mason’s principal deity – the Great Architect of the Universe – with the prince of darkness himself. Whatever the case may be, the character is certainly not at all related to our God, Yahweh.
Consider these words directly from a Masonic historian.
When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands …
— Manly P. Hall (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry)[35]
With the Masons playing such an influential role in our founding, it is perhaps only natural that our nation’s architecture has always taken on a special significance in quietly revealing our great intended purpose. Now, occult symbols always have at least two distinct meanings. There is the exoteric, an adapted meaning intended for the profane masses. And then there is the esoteric, the true deeper meaning guarded for the few. To discern more than our fellows we must peer beneath the exoteric explanations which seem so satisfactory to most.
The United States Library of Congress contains an intriguing quotation from English poet Edward Young etched upon its walls. “Too low they build who build beneath the stars.”
The site chosen for the capital of the newly formed United States of America is a most curious one. As author and astrologer David Ovason points out in his groundbreaking work The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital,[36] the Potomac and Anacostia rivers form a large Y around the city of Washington, D.C. Regardless of the exoteric explanations proffered, the esoteric reality is that this Y points back firmly to a long tradition of arcane mysteries flowing from the cult of Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician.
For the Pythagoreans, the triangle held sublime symbolism within its simple form. Of particular interest was the right triangle. The upright side represented the male. The base or prostrated side naturally represented the female. And the hypotenuse was the divine child.
When each of the right triangle’s sides is given its square element, the resulting figure resembles a Y. This letter, then, is the esoteric symbolism for the Unholy Trinity, though the adepts would not use that particular name. We will officially meet this shadowy family unit in the following chapter.
Yet, the Pythagorean Y is not the only connection between Washington, D.C. and Pythagoras. There is also the well-known Federal Triangle. What is less known is the association of this famous street structure with the stars, and specifically the constellation Virgo, the Celestial Virgin.
David Ovason elucidates.
The three main stars that surround the constellation Virgo form in the skies a celestial triangle. The form of this triangle is precisely the same as that which the builders of Washington D.C., once impressed upon its streets and avenues, and which was later condensed into the Federal Triangle.
— David Ovason (The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital)[37]
The Capital City is married with the stars.
Before the modern incarnation of Federal Triangle, French engineer Pierre L’Enfant developed the earliest plan for Washington, D.C, which is known as the L’Enfant Plan. L’Enfant’s triangle was greater in scope, binding together symbolically the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol. Pennsylvania Avenue remains the hypotenuse for both triangles, but in essence Federal Triangle is simply a truncated version of L’Enfant’s original vision.
On L’Enfant’s grand triangle – a right triangle, no less – the White House, the residence of the president of the United States, is the northernmost of the three points. It is also directly connected to the hypotenuse, the side associated with the divine child, or Horus. Let that sink in.
If you think the placement of L’Enfant’s triangle must be a random coincidence, then I suggest you hold onto that notion rather loosely. Because in the following chapter we will shatter it.
Incidentally, the reflection of the triangle surrounding Virgo by L’Enfant’s triangle is a fitting expression of the hermetic principle at the heart of much of the modern esoteric tradition. As above, so below. Perhaps this is likewise the reason for the multitude of reflecting pools found throughout our nation’s capital.
Equally intriguing are the many connections Ovason has made between our nation’s earliest days and the most revered star of the ancient world. Sirius, also known as the dog star or blazing star, is the brightest star in the heavens and was associated by the Egyptians with the goddess Isis. By the eighteenth century, this sacred star of the Egyptians had found its way into the Masonic mysteries, and it therefore became of immense importance to the nascent nation of the United States.
The date July 4, 1776 is positively brimming with esoteric meaning. Critically, it was the second day of the then recognized “dog days” of summer – named after the dog star – which denote the period following the annual rising of Sirius.
Seventy-two years later – hardly a random number, as we will see – this same day was chosen for the founding ceremony of the Washington Monument, which is perhaps the single most recognizable piece of American architecture linked to ancient Egypt.
But the Fourth of July was also important esoterically because it was exactly the 66th day from the beginning of Beltane, the Satanic High Holy period which begins on April 30. What more fitting day to set up the government of the New Atlantis, readying the kingdom for its future Antichrist king. Independence Day also just so happens to be the thirteenth day after the Summer Solstice.
Ovason points out that the five-pointed stars on our American flag may come from the five-pointed ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs used to denote Sirius. But regardless of this speculation, Ovason has drawn a plethora of other intriguing connections between the dog star and the Capital City of Washington, D.C. and has detailed them in his book.
Even without considering the astrology angle, which was evidently of great importance to our founders, one has to ask the simple question of why a nation such as ours should have such an obsession with pagan art. As a nation apparently formed under and dedicated to God, why should pagan gods and goddesses adorn our governmental buildings? And why should statues to dead occultists line the streets of our Capital City?
The Capitol building, which serves as the seat of our democratic government, derives its name from the Capitolium, an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter. This naming was not random, but highly intentional. And this links the building firmly with Satan, who we know to be the true entity behind the storm god.
As further confirmation of this association, we find that the Capitol is the only one of the three key Capital City structures which contains a dome. The dome has long architecturally represented the womb of Isis. And, of course, we understand that Isis also represents Satan, the god who wears both male and female masks.
Within the Capitol dome itself is one of the most famous and yet overtly pagan pieces of American art, The Apotheosis of Washington. This is the vivid symbolization of George Washington, our first president and therefore the first ruler over the new Atlantean empire, taking his place amongst the deities of the pagan pantheon. Washington is surrounded by pagan gods and goddesses and also by 72 stars, which in occult lore symbolize the fallen angel hosts. (There also happen to be 72 pillars around the National Archives building.) He is also depicted with a purple cloth over his legs, a not-so-subtle mark of royalty; this despite the fact that America had apparently just thrown off the tyranny of the English monarchs.
Derek Gilbert’s take is insightful.
The art and architecture of the Capitol make a clear statement: America is politically, militarily, and, most of all, spiritually Rome.
For American Christians, the implications are disturbing. Most of us have taken for granted that the pagan and occult symbols designed into our government buildings in general, and the Capitol, National Mall, and Washington Monument in particular, were simply artistic choices made for their aesthetic value. Our ignorance of those pagan symbols has led us to accept a false history that’s much more comfortable than the truth.
— Derek P. Gilbert (The Second Coming of Saturn)[38]
Yet, the fresco as a whole provides us with an insight into the core lie at work within the heart of all the occult orders. And it is the oldest lie in the book. Ye shall be gods. It is Satan’s original suggestion to Eve, the achievement of apotheosis by self-directed effort. Mankind has always been highly susceptible to fancying himself capable of becoming his own god. But this delusional path has never ended well.
Interestingly, the character in The Apotheosis of Washington meant to represent Young America, is shown wearing a Phrygian cap, often referred to as a liberty cap. This old symbol, which was given to freed slaves in ancient Rome, was readopted as a symbol of the American and French Revolutions. However, the true meaning of its appearance here runs deeper.
The depiction of Young America in this fresco is strikingly similar to classical artwork featuring the character Ganymede, who often donned a similar hat. According to myth, the youth Ganymede was abducted to be the male sexual companion of Zeus (the Greek forerunner of Jupiter). In other words, he was a subservient partner of the storm God, aka Satan.
But the significance of Young America as Ganymede doesn’t end there. You see, as a reward for his, well, service, Zeus immortalized the young shepherd by placing him among the stars—as Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
Aquarius—the new age inaugurated by the Great Conjunction of December 21, 2020.
So, not only is Young America represented in the United States Capitol as the submissive sexual partner of Jupiter (Satan), he symbolizes the new Golden Age ruled by Saturn (Shemihazah).
— Derek P. Gilbert (The Second Coming of Saturn)[39]
We will revisit the New Age of Aquarius and the Great Conjunction in a forthcoming chapter. But these connections drawn by the occultists between the blossoming United States of America and Ganymede are both intriguing and disturbing.
The idea of the Capitol dome symbolizing the womb of Isis, and therefore Satan, becomes even more ironclad thanks to its juxtaposition with the shaft of Osiris. The great obelisk of the Washington Monument is the largest nod to the Egyptian god to be found not only in our nation but anywhere on Earth. And its specific size and location are anything but coincidental.
Recall that the obelisk symbolically represents the phallus of Osiris, hence its repeated connection to the dome (pregnant womb) of Isis. This particular phallic monument was built to some exceedingly strange dimensions. In fact, it measures 555 feet (6,660 inches) tall, with 55.5 feet (666 inches) of length along the base of each of its sides. If these numbers do not scream deliberate, I am not quite sure what does.
What’s more, its positioning directly across from the Capitol dome, and at the erect side of L’Enfant’s right triangle no less, is too symbolically perfect to be ignored.
The prime objective of the Great Plan—to resurrect the Golden Age and bring forth Apollo—is expressed in the alignment of two monuments that symbolize Osiris and Isis: the obelisk (phallus of Osiris) and the dome (womb of Isis). The meticulous devising and positioning of monuments for the express purpose of inscribing secret knowledge or invoking specific deities is known as theurgy (“divine-working”). The Freemasons, in particular, excelled at theurgy. Washington, DC, is a testament to their craft. Of the many theurgic configurations implicit in the layout of the city, the Washington Monument, which happens to be the largest obelisk on Earth, is carefully aligned with the dome of the Capitol Building. The intent of the alignment is to invoke Osiris, Isis, and Horus and secretly communicate the great hope of its architects: that the United States of America would become the New Atlantis and bring forth the long awaited Philosopher King (Apollo).
— Timothy Alberino (Birthright)[40]
There are many more theurgic configurations which could be explored in our own Capital City. For now, though, I will share but one additional example.
The inverted pentagram associated with the goat of Mendes is another arcane symbol which can clearly be identified in the street design of Washington, D.C., engulfing the White House. Detractors will claim that a single section is missing and therefore the pentagram must be unintended. However, the unfinished pentagram itself is a known magical symbol with a specific use, as described by Illuminatus Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his classic work Faust.
There is one additional piece of Architecture which deserves mention, despite the fact that it is not located in our nation’s Capital. The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is one of the most recognizable national icons in the world, yet it hides a little-known secret. The giant torch-bearing image was originally called Liberty Enlightening the World. Lady Liberty is an incarnation of the Roman goddess Libertas, and she is often found depicted as both a male and female character at the same time, the classic calling card of Lucifer.
Based on the statue’s dimension, we find that it is essentially a remade Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Colossus was a statue of the Greek sun god Helios, and the seven rays of Lady Liberty’s headpiece are likely a quiet nod to the spirit behind this pagan god. Besides this, the Colossus also bore a crown of solar rays and wielded an upraised torch.
If you truly understand the spirit behind the enlightenment and the return to rationality, so-called, then you will understand that the resultant flames of freedom and democracy which spread round the world were ultimately stewarded by the light-bearer himself. Shockingly, the dragon of duality turned against the old, entrenched systems of his own power, the papacy and the European monarchies. Like the ouroboros, he devoured his own tail. His kingdom was divided against itself.
As patriotic Americans, this is certainly not the history we have been taught. Yet, Jesus said that we would know them by their fruits. And what exactly have been the fruits of the enlightenment? Has the movement proven over time that it meant only to encourage mankind to submit more to the rule of the creator, or has it sought rather to help “free” us from his yoke? A mere modicum of historical knowledge and a dash of discernment will suggest to you the latter.
The age of enlightenment, with its newfound fascination with freedom, was not nearly so virtuous an era as we have been taught. Instead, the spirit of the age was none other than the false light of Lucifer.
Now, you may be wondering where this brave new nation, this New Atlantis, fits into biblical prophecy. You may even have heard well-meaning preachers emphatically declare that the United States of America absolutely does not appear in the Bible. Yet such claims are far from the truth.
John the Revelator’s second beast has often been confused with the Antichrist himself. Nevertheless, we understand by now that beasts in biblical prophecy do not represent individuals. Instead, they are emblematic of systems of power, of governments, and of kingdoms.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men …
— Revelation 13:11-13
Some of the more insightful commentators I have found see the obvious connection between this second beast and the false prophet spoken of in Revelation 16, 19, and 20. They therefore arrive at the conclusion that the Antichrist himself is the false prophet. This rings perhaps a bit closer to the truth, but it is still not quite in tune.
The second beast comes up specifically out of the earth, as opposed to the sea, which we know represents a populated area. In other words, this second beast arises up out of an unpopulated area. A New World, you might say.
Simply put, the second beast is none other than the United States of America, which arose to power within a few short years of the first beast (the papacy) receiving its mortal wound. And because the dragon priests were here, too, laboring on behalf of their master, the identity of our new nation was secretly ceded to the will of the dark lord. From the very beginning, we have always appeared to be a lamb, yet our true nature (Matthew 7:16) has been more akin to a dragon.
Our nation represents a new power system (beast), yet it was designed to point people back to the same single beast that has been carried on in various forms since the days of ancient Babylon. For all its apparent novelty, the new democratic system of the United States is a false prophet which sets up an image which is merely a reflection of the same old beast. It is a clever Luciferean deception of the highest order.
Since the days of Noah, never has a nation risen to the heights of power, wealth, and influence with such swiftness as the United States. Ours is a nation set apart. A nation destined to birth the Son of Perdition.
On the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States of America, above the all-seeing eye and the Great Pyramid, there appears the Latin phrase annuit coeptis. This translates as “He approves (or favors) our undertaking.” The phrase comes from a line in The Aeneid,[41] a book written by the Roman poet Virgil. In context, the warrior Ascanius, son of the hero, Aeneas, prays to Jupiter, asking the storm god to favor his bold undertakings.
Given the fact that the ranks of our founding fathers had been thoroughly infiltrated by the Invisible College of the Rosicrucians and by the fraternity of the Freemasons, among others, we must ask the hard questions when we see such a phrase used as a central motto for our nation.
Most importantly, who is he? Is this entity once again the dark spirit behind the pagan god Jupiter? And what is the undertaking of which he approves?
