“My history of the Jesuits is not eloquently written, but it is supported by unquestionable authorities, [and] is very particular and very horrible. Their [the Jesuit Order’s] restoration [in 1814 by Pope Pius VII] is indeed a step toward darkness, cruelty, despotism, [and] death. … I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of [Ignatius de] Loyola.”
John Adams (1735-1826; 2nd President of the United States)
“It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated MOST of the wars of Europe.”
Marquis de LaFayette (1757-1834; French statesman and general. He served in the American Continental Army under the command of General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.)
“The war [i.e., the American Civil War of 1861-1865] would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits.”
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th President of the United States)
“The Jesuits…are a secret society – a sort of Masonic order – with superadded features of revolting odiousness, and a thousand times more dangerous.” – Samuel Morse (1791-1872; American inventor of the telegraph; author of the book Foreign Conspiracy Against the Liberties of the United States)
“[The Jesuits] are the deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty.”
R. W. Thompson (Ex-Secretary, American Navy)
“The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man [i.e., the Black Pope, the Superior General of the Jesuits]. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms [sic] – and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses…”
Napoleon I (i.e., Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821; emperor of the French)
It is impossible to read Elizabethan history [i.e., the history surrounding Queen Elizabeth I of England;queen: 1558-1603] except in the context of an army of Jesuits, masters of deceit, treachery, treason,infiltration, subversion, assassination, insurrection, civil war and coercion, plotting for the good of thepapacy, and the defeat of all the Popes foes anywhere in the world.

"Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversion plots against the welfareof the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [Thomas J. Campbell]. Practicallyevery instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and incitingto political insurrection." (1987)-

They [i.e., the Jesuits] have so constantly mixed themselves up in court and state intrigues that theymust, in justice, be reproached with striving after world dominion. They cost kings their lives, not on thescaffold, but by assassination, and equally hurtful as the society of Illuminati; they were the foremost among the crowd, at all events, who applauded the murder scenes in Paris [during the FrenchRevolution].
Hector Macpherson (Author of the book The Jesuits in History)
[Jesuit Adam] Weishaupt established the [modern version of the] Illuminati specifically to be a front organization behind which the Jesuits could hide. After being [formally] abolished by [Pope] Clement XIVin 1773, the Jesuits used the Illuminati and other organizations to carry out their operations. Thus, thefront organizations would be blamed for the trouble caused by the Jesuits.-
Bill Hughes (Author of The Secret Terrorists and The Enemy Unmasked)
For over 200 years, the goal [of the Jesuits] has been the complete destruction of the United StatesConstitution. In the religious arena, the goal of the Jesuits is to wipe out any trace of Protestantism andother religions, and to restore worldwide domination by the pope.
Bill Hughes (From his book The Secret Terrorists)
The organization of the [Roman Catholic] Hierarchy is a complete military despotism, of which the Popeis the ostensible [i.e., apparent; seeming] head; but of which, the Black Pope [Ed. Note: The SuperiorGeneral of the Jesuits], is the real head. The Black Pope is the head of the order of the Jesuits, and iscalled a General [i.e., the Superior General]. He not only has command of his own order, but [also]directs and controls the general policy of the [Roman Catholic] Church. He [the Black Pope] is the powerbehind the throne, and is the real potential head of the Hierarchy. The whole machine is under thestrictest rules of military discipline. The whole thought and will of this machine, to plan, propose andexecute, is found in its head. There is no independence of thought, or of action, in its subordinate parts.Implicit and unquestioning obedience to the orders of superiors in authority, is the sworn duty of thepriesthood of every grade-

[Jesuit-trained Illuminist Adam] Weishaupt's success in forcing the Vatican to reestablish the abolishedJesuit Order [Ed. Note: it had been abolished in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV], through revival of theChurchs original Nazarene Communism in the form of present-day Communism, led to the conspiracy sontrol by the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuits]...
Wherever a totalitarian movement erupts, whether Communist or Nazi, a Jesuit can be found in the roleof advisor or leader; in [Communist] Cuba Fr. Armando Llorente and in Argentina the neo-Nazis are ledby Fr. Menvieille.- Emanuel M. Josephson (1968)
Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of thecountries of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government. (1912)-

Above all things, Jesuits are confessors. Their services unto the royalty were urged as a need, as theybecame assigned to hear the confessions of the aristocrats, emperors, kings, queens, princes, princesses,[royal] mistresses, those in every level of government they all revealed their secret plans, theirintimate sins, their inner-most thoughts, as their lives became virtually an open book to the Jesuits.Through various means of diplomacy, Jesuits worked their way into offices of State, climbing up to bethe counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations. But it was religion and its sacred duties of hearing the confessions of their penitents, and being their religious wise guides, that was the key totheir success. Without the need of a religious confessor, the history of the Jesuits may have been quitedifferent. And the Jesuits made very sure that it was they who filled that need as confessors [Ed. Note:especially to the rich and power elite] instead of the other orders of priests, by providing a most attractive policy of leniency as an enticement for their penitents.-
John Daniel (Author of the book The Grand Design Exposed)
In the agreement to rescue Rome [i.e., the Roman Catholic Churchs hierarchy] from the predicament of losing its world control to Protestantism, and to preserve the spiritual and temporal supremacy which thepopes [had] usurped during the Middle Ages, Rome now sold the [Roman Catholic] Church to theSociety of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuits]; in essence the popes surrendered themselves into their hands.-

By a providential synchronism, when [Italian dictator] Mussolini seized power in Italy thanks to donSturzo, Jesuit and chief of the Catholic party, Monseigneur Seipel, a Jesuit, became chancellor of Austria.He held that position until 1929, with an interregnum of two years, and, during those decisive years, heled the Austrian interior politics on to the reactionary and clerical road; his successors followed him onthat road which led to the absorption of that country into the German block. The bloody repression of working-class uprisings earned him [i.e., Jesuit Monseigneur Seipel] the nickname Keine Milde Kardinal the Cardinal without mercy.-
Edmond Paris (Author of the book The Secret History of the Jesuits)
It is believed that the Pope [i.e., Pius XI] will offer these services to Signor [Benito] Mussolini throughthe Jesuit Father Pietro Tachi-Venturi, who is often consulted by Mussolini on important matters.-

The SS had been organized by [Heinrich] Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order. Therules of service and spiritual exercises prescribed by Ignatius de Loyola [Ed. Note: the founder of theJesuit Order] constituted a model which [Heinrich] Himmler strove carefully to copy. Absolute obediencewas the supreme rule; every order had to be executed without comment.-

The term Jesuit has become synonymous with terms like deceit, chicanery, infiltration, intrigue,subversionmany organized Jesuits have been justly described as treacherous, traitorous workers,seducing many in the service of the Roman Pontiff away from national allegiance (1987)-

There was no disguise they (the Jesuits) could not assume, and therefore, there was no place into whichthey could not penetrate. They could enter unheard the closet of the Monarch, or the Cabinet of theStatesman. They could sit unseen in convocation or General Assembly, and mingle unsuspected in thedeliberations and debates.There was no tongue they could not speak, and no creed they could not profess, and thus there was nopeople among whom they might not sojourn, and no church whose membership they might not enterand whose functions they might not discharge. The could execrate [i.e., sharply denounce] the Pope withthe Lutheran, and swear the Solemn League with the Covenanter.-
J.A. Wylie (Rev.; Author of the book The History of Protestantism)
The assassins of St. Bartholomew [i.e., the Catholics who slaughtered the French Protestant Huguenotsin 1572, starting with the St. Bartholomew massacre on August 24th], the inquisitors and the Jesuits aremonsters produced by malignant imaginations; they are the natural allies of the spirit of darkness and of death (1883)-

This noble fraternity, which many preachers have of late so vehemently denied to have ever been a secret one, has been sufficiently proved as such. Their constitutions were translated into Latin by the Jesuit Polancus, and printed in the college of the Society at Rome, in 1558. "They were jealously kept secret, the greater part of the Jesuits themselves knowing only extracts from them.***** They were never produced to the light until 1761, when they were published by order of the French Parliament in 1761, 1762, in the famous process of Father Lavalette." The degrees of the Order are: I. Novices; II. Lay Brothers, or temporal Coadjutors; III. Scholastics; IV. Spiritual Coadjutors; V. Professed of Three Vows; VI. Professed of Five Vows. "There is also a secret class, known only to the General and a few faithful Jesuits, which, perhaps more than any other, contributed to the dreaded and mysterious power of the Order," says Niccolini. The Jesuits reckon it among the greatest achievements of their Order that Loyola supported, by a special memorial to the Pope, a petition for the reorganization of that abominable and abhorred instrument of wholesale butchery — the infamous tribunal of the Inquisition.
This Order of Jesuits is now all-powerful in Rome. They have been reinstalled in the Congregation of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, in the Department of the Secretary of State, and in the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs. The Pontifical Government was for years previous to Victor Emanuel's occupation of Rome entirely in their hands. The Society now numbers 8,584 members. But we must see what are their chief rules. By what is seen above, in becoming acquainted with their mode of action, we may ascertain what the whole Catholic body is likely to be. Says Mackenzie: "The Order has secret signs and passwords, according to the degrees to which the members belong, and as they wear no particular dress, it is very difficult to recognize them, unless they reveal themselves as members of the Order; for they may appear as Protestants or Catholics, democrats or aristocrats, infidels or bigots, according to the special mission with which they are entrusted. Their spies are everywhere, of all apparent ranks of society, and they may appear learned and wise, or simple or foolish, as their instructions run. There are Jesuits of both sexes, and all ages, and it is a well-known fact that members of the Order, of high family and delicate nurture, are acting as menial servants in Protestant families, and doing other things of a similar nature in aid of the Society's purposes. We cannot be too much on our guard, for the whole Society, being founded on a law of unhesitating obedience, can bring its force on any given point with unerring and fatal accuracy."*
