The Templar Pirates


Book Description

The maritime history of the Knights Templar following the Church’s attempt to expunge them in southern France • Shows that the pirates of legend originated with the Knights Templar’s secret navy • Reveals the Templars’ secret objective to establish a new universal order based on spirituality, wisdom, and individualism--the New Jerusalem • Examines the secret history of the Templars’ influence in international politics When the Vatican condemned the Order of the Temple in 1312, many of those who escaped took to the sea. Their immediate objective was to take revenge on the Church. Recent discoveries confirm that ships of the Templar fleet that went missing at La Rochelle later reappeared--first in the Mediterranean and later in the Atlantic and Caribbean--to menace the Church’s maritime commerce. These Templar vessels often flew the famed Jolly Roger, which took its name from King Roger II of Sicily, a famed Templar who, during a public spat with the Pope in 1127, was the first to fly this flag. Opportunistic buccaneers were quick to see that vast wealth could be gained in pursuing the Templars’ harassment of the Pope’s interests on the high seas, and they spread a reign of terror across the shipping lanes of the New World. Some unaffiliated pirates, in admiration of the Templar egalitarian ideals, even formed their own secret societies, and together with the Templars were part of the ferment that gave rise to independence movements in France and the New World and contributed to the growth of Freemasonry. The Templar Pirates is the story of the birth and actual conduct of piracy on the seas of the New World and of the influence the Templars had on their constituents, and, by their wealth, on the governments of nations old and new.




Pirates and the Lost Templar Fleet

The author maintains that a portion of the fleet became the first pirates to fly the Skull and Crossbones - marauding through the Mediterranean, and later preying on the ships of the Vatican coming from the rich ports of the Americas as the Pirates of the Caribbean. Another portion of the fleet fled to the deep fiords of Scotland and came under the command of the St Clair family of Rosslyn - the founders of freemasonry.

The Real Story of


Book Description

Have you ever felt frustrated due to lack of details about the rituals of the Knights Templars? Who were the 'Red Sea Men, ' and what was their connection to the Knights Templars? How did Templars and Pirates intersect in Madagascar? This e-book offers an in-depth explanation of interworking's of the Templar Order, and how the knights connected to 17th Century Pirates. It examines how the Templar Knights evolved from poor Crusaders in the Holy Land, to wealthy corporation owners with operations all over the Red Sea. While in the Holy Land for over 200 years, the knight Templars learned to read Arabic languages, and became learned men from the ancient manuscripts of Greece and Rome preserved by the Moors. These manuscripts were banned in Europe, but the Knights Templars utilized ancient maps of Alexander the Great and the Greeks to establish trade routes from Acre through the Red Sea and around the Horn of Africa. The Templars became rich and powerful men from the knowledge found in these manuscripts and used this knowledge to become learned men. They established their order around keeping the trade routes around the Horn of Africa a secret from the rest of Europe. The Templars continued their pursuit of knowledge, and combined the fighting styles of the 'Nine Worthies' to form their own warrior ethos. The knights used Guerilla Warfare in the Holy Lands and pursued 'True Justice.' The Templars understood justice is the only ideal men are willing to die for, and they upheld law and order with the Assizes. These laws upheld justice 'all for one and one for all' within the order and created a 'state within a State.' After retreating from Acre, churchmen became seamen, and the Templars used any means at their disposal to achieve attrition from Rhodes. This included knights forming companies with men from seven European countries to help them raid Mongol ships on the Red Sea. It is these companies of 'Channel Boys' who evolved into the 'Brethren of the Coasts.'Throughout history, Knights Templars have mitigated any obstacles in their path to achieving world dominance. This book will prove the Knights Templars never fully disbanded, and have never surrendered in their campaign in the Holy Land. Today the knights wield their power from strongholds such as: Middle Temple in London, Military Order of Malta, and Order of the Garner. The Templars are shareholders in several billion dollar corporations including the Hudson Bay Company and the East India Company. To support my theories I will touch on several hot topics: Triangular Trade in the Caribbean, Order of St. John, French Huguenots, Slavery, Charleston, South Carolina, Daniel Horry, 'Loyall Jamaica' in 1692, Captain Raynor, Marco Polo, Mongol Dynasty, 'Golden Ratio, ' Astrolabe, Cadency System, King Arthur, Homer, David, Vatican, Benenhaly family of Sumter, South Carolina, Lord Proprietors, Trial by Jury, Pirate Tew, Cabals, Pirate Treasure, and the 'Red Sea Traders.'
