  • Throughout history many military organizations became legendary for their prowess in battle, such as the Spartans, Roman legions, Persian Immortals, and modern day warriors such as the Special Air Service, U.S. Navy Seals, U.S. Marines and U.S. Army Rangers and Special Forces. But none of these elite groups became both politically and financially powerful, surpassing the wealth of entire kingdoms as well as having total autonomy over their actions. Except one. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

      Yeah but democrats are much more like the Templars as they didn't leave anyone from the summer of love in enemy hands, and they were commiting serious crimes. Unless if they also blindly followed orders that go directly against the oaths they took. If that's the case they are much more like the political right.Both are against Liberty and Justice, neither is better than the other, but the right is more despicable in my opinion, because they claim too uphold Law and Order.

    • @uncle_Samssubjects

    Jacques de Molay supposedly said prior to his execution that the pope and the king of France would have to answer to God for their crimes. They died shortly after his execution. Also, the Vatican finally admitted that the charges of heresy were false and posthumously cleared the Templars of any wrongdoing. When did that happen? In 2007 after papers were found in the archives of the Vatican.

    You said at the end King Philip benefited from the Templar and was out of debt after all the dust been settled. I think the king did it just by confiscating all their land. One of the things they were eager to do were to break into the vault at their French HQ and seize all the treasures inside. In the French harbor any week, there were usually many Templar owned ships , but a day or so before the 13 th all the Templar owned ships sailed and disappeared forever. When the king's men broke into the vault, it was totally empty. Both the king and pope died soon after as per the curse by the grand master. I also do not believe in coincidences, but shortly after 1307, a group of farmers subsisted on the slopes of the Alps suddenly decided to go into banking themselves. They were most likely started by a few Templars , escaping French prosecution, and settled at what we call Switzerland today. Templars had a reputation of pious and were well respected and trusted. That was the real reason why they got so rich so fast. They would have a very dim view of what the modern Swiss bankers did when they ripped off a group of Jews after WW2 and your bank info are no longer secret with them.

    Will we be seeing a show on the Knights Hospitalers given they famously saved Europe from Islamic conquest at the 1565 Siege of Malta and unlike the Templars & Teutonics they still exist to this day.

      And the modern Knights Malta are subject to the Jesuit order and people should do some research in that area. They have censored a lot of their history. Eric Jon Phelp’s work “Vatican assassins: wounded in the house of my friends” it’s 1800 pages of pdf research on the topic. Do yourself a favor and take a peak at how the world really runs. Also Anthony C. Sutton’s books dispel the common historical narrative of modern nation politics as he tracks the banks that run both sides of the global empire (2 headed eagle 33*).

      And they are controlled by the Jesuits and work in concert with the Zionist labor Jews and Freemasons to bring the world under the l single rule of their future king. That’s “the great work” and it’s almost complete. The double headed imperial eagle 33* perches atop the globe making money and guiding us in a Hegelian march towards Jerusalem. They will rebuild the temple no matter the cost, they’re under oath to see it through. Look up famous Knights Malta/St John and you’ll get it. Bush started the war in his role as a knight (and bonesman). The templars never vanished, they found a home in Switzerland (the flag is the inverse of the Red Cross). That’s where they keep all the gold they’ve been plundering. From these wars. I’d bet my left nut all the Libyan and Ukrainian gold reserves made it there or London (another stronghold).

      Movie quote, but not without some truth my friend. It matters very little what spiritual path you follow, because you will follow one way you'll feel comfortable. Where the terminology is familiar and the concepts are familiar, but you will be asked to develop and show means to develop, exactly the same qualities of life, humility and service and love and ultimately the objective is always the same, that is the true search for the Holy Grail.
      It matters little whether you're Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever, God in his infinite wisdom has laid down paths for you to access. Access them, follow them, treasure them, they will transform your life.

    The Teutonic order came close... and like the Templars, they affected history for centuries, bringing us things like East Prussia (now Kaliningrad), which was one of the issues that the Austrian painter - who adopted many of both sets of knights' beliefs) used to invade Poland. The Teutonic knights were authorized by the pope to only operate in the Holy Land but found it mnore lucrative to set up slave trading by raiding the non-Germanic peoples around them and taking the captured prisoners down to the Med to sell them directly or indirectly to the muslims.

    Excellent presentation on the Templars. Could you follow up on how the Templars melted away beyond the Pope's and Phillip's reach? You started to hit on some of this at the end of the video: England, Scotland, Ireland, Tuconic Knights, and the other brother sects where the Templars resurrected their order in secret. There is a profound story here that needs to be told.
    I am looking forward to more videos like this.
