Rasputin And The Holy Mother

(Conspiracy Nation, 07/29/07) – Before a mysterious Lady appeared to three young people in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, a mysterious Lady had revealed herself to Grigori Rasputin (image, left).

Rasputin was plowing in a field one day when he was struck by a vision. The vision was an apparition in the form of the Holy Mother, who told Rasputin that the tsarevich Aleksei was a hemophiliac and that he should stop the boy's bleeding. In 1902, Rasputin began to make his way to St. Petersburg. (http://www.freeinfosociety.com/site.php?postnum=53)

The unexplained Fatima incident was predicted before it occurred. The predictions were published in Portugese newspapers. The earlier 19th century had seen the rise of the spiritualist craze, in which mediums apparently served as channels of communication to an unearthly realm. On February 7th, 1917, three months before the first Fatima visitation, a group of spiritualists in Portugal received a communication, by “automatic writing,” which they deemed to be of great importance. An entity signing its name as “Stella Matutina” (Latin for “Morning Star”), foretold, in part, “The day of May 13th will be one of great happiness for the good souls of the world. Have ye faith and be ye good. Ego Sum Charitas.” The spiritualist group published, as a small advertisement, an announcement of the predicted event in the March 10, 1917 edition of Diário de Noticias. (Fernandes, Joaquim and D'Armada, Fina. Celestial Secrets. Anomalist Books, 2006)

Again, on May 13, 1917, the same day as the first apparition, predictions appeared, this time as news items in various Portugese newspapers. A text, dated two days earlier, signed by “Antonio,” a reputed psychic, stated in part that, “On the 13th of this month, there will occur an event, with respect to the [First World] war, that will strongly impress all the world.” (Fernandes, op. cit.)

Something or other did happen, in Portugal, and earlier, in Russia. Some sort of communication was received, in both instances by persons of humble status. It may be that in both encounters, confronted by something inexplicable, the recipients of the communiques groped for some sort of framework to explain their experience. In both cases, the available framework would have been religious.

Fernandes and D'Armada (op. cit.) attempt an objective investigation into the Fatima incident. In 1978, both were given access to secret archives at the Catholic Sanctuary of Fatima. Originally published in Portugese, Celestial Secrets has recently been translated into English. Among other things, the authors consider how alterations in the Earth's magnetosphere might have facilitated the apparitions. They find, for example, that the February 7th “automatic writing” communique coincided with a period of strong magnetic disturbances. The source of magnetic disturbances is traced to cyclical sunspot activity, which had a major peak in 1917. This does not necessarily mean Fatima was just sunspots. It may mean paranormal abilities were heightened thereby. Russian scientists, unlike their American counter-parts, are open-minded about such subjects. Fernandes (op. cit.) cites studies in the former Soviet Union which describe human individuals as “a field of forces in action.” Considered as such, some people may manifest heightened sensitivity in times of strong magnetic disturbances.

Also considered by Fernandes and D'Armada are “telluric currents,” forces which emanate from the Earth. Certain areas abound in such forces. The region of Portugal where the Fatima incident occurred has, over the centuries, witnessed “an astounding number of reports of apparitions of shining 'ladies.'”

There is also Jesuit involvement. Founded by the Spaniard Ignatius Loyola, the Jesuits entered Portugal in 1540, the same year they were recognized by the pope. Their mission was conversion, “to the ends of the Earth.” The Jesuits were powerful in Portugal, until they were expelled in 1910. The Jesuits may have been plotting a comeback there. Besides Portugal, in the 20th century the Jesuits began to focus upon the conversion of Russia. This is notable because the mysterious Lady of Fatima reportedly urged the faithful to pray for Russia. But were the messages from the mysterious Lady altered by Jesuit censors? The Society of Jesus (Jesuits), according to a Foreword by Jim Marrs, “suppressed the true facts of Fatima.” Marrs alleges the Jesuits “manipulated the testimony of direct participants to support their own suppositions.”

In “Third Fatima Secret: Cold War Returns” (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/FatimaColdWar.html), Conspiracy Nation reported how Grigori Rasputin's assassination in December 1916 presaged the rise of Communism in Russia. Karl Marx, patron saint of Communism, preached that “the supreme being for man is man.” Above all other gods, Marx “hated the God of the Bible.” (Metzger, Bruce M. and Coogan, Michael D. The Oxford Companion To The Bible). Marx fulminated his quasi-religion of Communism from London. And it has been ascertained that Britain was behind the murder of Rasputin. (See “Third Fatima Secret: Cold War Returns,” op. cit.) So, we have a British-based quasi-religion of Communism competing with Jesuit conversion schemes at a crucial time in Russian history.

Marx fulminated from London. The British were behind the Rasputin assassination. In “Memorial To Victims Of Communism” (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/VictimsCommunism.html), it was reported how, after the surprise revolution and installation of the Kerensky government in Russia, Leon Trotsky and Vladimir Lenin were rushed in from abroad. Writing in the Foreword to The Black Book Of Communism, Martin Malia complains about how “researchers have endlessly insisted that the October Revolution was a workers' revolt and not a [Communist] Party coup d'etat, when it was obviously the latter riding piggyback on the former.” Repeat: The Bolsheviks rode piggyback on the earlier workers' revolt; there was a Communist coup d'etat. (And remember these words of Vladimir Lenin: “Electricity will replace God. The peasants should pray to it.”)

In Secret History (Barnes & Noble, 2006), author Joel Levy relates how in the 1850s, in Algeria, the Marabout religious sect used sorcery “tricks” to incite fear and respect. The Marabout power threatened French dominance. Napoleon III sent Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin (not to be confused with Harry Houdini) to Algeria. There was a sorcerors' showdown, between Robert-Houdin and the Marabouts. Robert-Houdin proved to have superior sorcery “powers” and French dominance in Algeria was consequently, for the time being, maintained. Conspiracy Nation has reported previously on such historic sorcerors' showdowns, for example the magical battle between Simon Magus and St. Peter. (“Three Apostolic Successions,” http://www.shout.net/~bigred/ThreePopes.html). Before the rise of television, sorcery powers and facsimiles of same were used to dazzle and spellbind the masses. Again, remember what Lenin said: “Electricity will replace God.” In 1917, at Fatima, the “peasants” had not yet begun praying to the television set. The Fatima incident occurred in the historical era of sorcerors' showdowns. Something extraordinary did occur at Fatima, but the case was ignored by so-called scientists, and censored and shaped by Jesuits to their own purposes.
