(Praise be to whoever restores Saint Bernard’s call: “In Praise of the New Militia”!)
Was the agenda lost between Bernard of Clairvaux,
the foresightful Cistercian monk and Jacques du Molay, the last Templar
grand master? What went on in Saint Bernard’s mind, when he established
the Order of the Knights to take on Jerusalem on that fateful
day in 1099 under the auspices of Geoffrey de Bouillon? Was it simply
to take Jerusalem for Christendom, bring it back to
Byzantine, to salvage an Empire lost! And was the Order
just ruled by the Rule of Saint Bernard – POCD – Poverty,
Obedience, Chastity, Devotion? And the mighty responsibility
of protection of the weak, the Christian pilgrims en route to
the Temple, where Mohammed was believed to have ascended
after his death?! O Geoffrey (you stalwart of Rex Deus), there was none as successful as the
First Crusade, and none as bloody… to be a wound that hurt
Seljuk minds in posterity. Not forgetting the logistical headache of
retaining Jerusalem for Christendom! O Bernard, did you foresee that
Jerusalem would fall again like a Paradise regained and devolved a
few centuries later? How quick was the Caliphate to secure Jerusalem for
the Muslims in the seventh century from Byzantine, since Mohammed died, in
the first place! Paradise regained, lost, regained and lost again! The story
every Christian and Muslim learnt and revised for centuries later! What
was your agenda Bernard? Protection of the pilgrims? Or ferreting under
the Temple’s foundation for ancient Jewish artifacts and secrets, that your (poor?) Knights
carried with them back to Europe, to garner wealth for themselves, and to be hidden
in resplendent Templar Lodges all over Europe! O Bernard was the effort all to restore
Rex Deus wealth (that was stolen from them) back into the hands of the Rex Deus? O Jacques, how did you see
it coming…from the poor Knights…two men riding one horse…after you were made
redundant in the Levant, only to become the indispensable richest men in Europe,
bankers, builders of Churches, and financiers of Kingdoms! Would anyone actually
believe you were at once protecting the hidden Rex Deus Lineage all along, that
went against the touted fabric of monarchies of Europe; and the Church who hated
the actual Rex Deus, James the Just (not Jesus), and to preserve all its evil Pauline inclinations? So
how many factors were there in the torture, death and destruction of you O Jacques, O Knights?!
Evil bankrupt Philip the Fair’s salivating for your immense wealth, the devious greed to rapine your
fateful secrets and holy artifacts, the monarchies’ fearing the threat of the Rex Deus Lineage
to themselves, or the Church’s wicked design to kill James the Just, and the true Rex Deus and Desposnyi legacy once and for all!
