BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL
===========================
In *Bloodline Of The Holy Grail* (ISBN: 0-7607-0735-9), author
Laurence Gardner unravels Grail lore and shows its hidden
meaning. The book evidences strong scholarship on the part of
the author, and reveals "the hidden lineage of Jesus." Mr.
Gardner provides an abundance of sources, of which Conspiracy
Nation has not yet delved into. Because of Gardner's evident
expertise, Conspiracy Nation, a general publication covering a
wide range of conspiracy "theories," is not in a position to
definitively state how accurate the assertions in *Bloodline Of
The Holy Grail* are. Here is the gist of what Gardner says.
(All claims are by Mr. Gardner, except where otherwise noted.)
THAT the supposed "virgin birth" of Jesus Christ is a purposeful
error, propounded by the Roman Church. Jesus's birth was like
any other, with sexual intercourse between Joseph and Mary
leading to conception. The Bible goes to the trouble of
specifically detailing Jesus's lineage, for example in Matthew,
chapter one: "And Jesse begat David the king... and Jacob begat
Joseph the husband of Mary..." The purpose of these geneological
details was to show Jesus's =royal= lineage. The Catholic
Church, in their own power grab, invented the idea of "Apostolic
Succession," thereby misrepresenting themselves as ruling by
divine right. Jesus Christ was of the royal House of David, and
was in fact a King. The term "Christ" means King -- hence,
"Jesus the Christ" means "Jesus the King." However, due to
infighting amongst Jewish factions, and especially due to Jesus's
wish to unite Jews and Gentiles against the Roman occupation, his
far-sighted plans to liberate his homeland did not succeed.
THAT Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The Bible does not say
Jesus married, =but neither does it say he did not marry.=
(Gardner offers a lot of evidence to back up his claim that Mary
Magdalene was Jesus's wife.)
THAT Mary Magdalene bore Jesus two sons, Jesus II Justus and
Joseph (known as Josephes), and a daughter, Tamar. But this
information was viciously suppressed by the Roman Church, due to
the threat it posed to their doctrine of Apostolic Succession.
THAT the royal Davidic bloodline did not die out with the "death"
of Jesus Christ, but exists today. That Jesus the Christ (Jesus
the King) =did not die= on the cross, but survived, thanks to
help from friends.
THAT Mary Magdalene journeyed to what is now France, and that her
second son, Josephes was born in what is now Marseilles.
THAT the concept of the "Holy Grail" is derived from *Sangreal*.
"From this came *San Greal* = *San Graal* = *Saint Grail* = *Holy
Grail*. More correctly, it was the *Sang Real* -- the Blood
Royal, carried by the uterine Chalice of Mary Magdalene."
THAT "the Gospels were written in a veiled format to elude Roman
scrutiny."
THAT Joseph of Arimathea took his nephew, Jesus II Justus, to the
West of England for awhile. That in AD 53, Jesus II was
proclaimed Crown Prince at the synagogue in Corinth. That at
about this time, younger brother Josephes finished being educated
at a Druidic college and was living in present-day France with
his mother, Mary Magdalene. That Jesus the Christ seems to have
died in India. That Mary Magdalene died in AD 63, in southern
France.
THAT the first-born son of Jesus II Justus, Galains (a.k.a.
Alain, in Grail lore), remained celibate and fathered no
children. That the Grail heritage reverted to the line of
younger brother Josephes.
THAT the Roman emperor Constantine, faced with an ascendantly
powerful population of Christians, made the calculated move of
embracing Christianity, and thereby co-opted the emergent
Catholic Church. "[Constantine's] purpose was not to join the
faith under the authority of the Bishop of Rome, but to take over
the Christian Church in its entirety." That the farce of
Apostolic Succession continued, with nominees selected by the
Roman emperors.
THAT the true royal bloodline in Gaul (France), in the form of
the Merovingian kings, was a great threat to the Roman Church.
That although the ultimate descent of the Merovingian kings was
Jewish, they were not practicing Jews. "They were avid students
of proper kingly practice in the ancient tradition, and their
model was King Solomon, the son of David." That the Merovingian
king, Clovis, married a Catholic, Queen Clotilde, and through her
influence King Clovis was baptized. That when news of King
Clovis's baptism spread, a "great wave of conversions followed,
and the Roman Church was effectively saved from almost inevitable
collapse." That through Catholic plotting, the Merovingians were
dis-empowered and Rome ruled Gaul (France).
THAT the name of "Britain" is derived from "B'rith-ain" which
means "Covenant Land." That the lineages of Jesus and James of
Arimathea were combined in B'rith-ain's (Britain's) King Arthur.
That the first appointed Bishop of Rome was Britain's Prince
Linus. That the Grail Family founded the House of Camulod
(Camelot). That the term "Merrie England" is derived from Mary
Jacob (St. Mary the Gypsy) who came to Europe with Mary Magdalene
in 44 AD. That there was a widespread cult of Mary the Gypsy in
medieval England. "As Maid Marian, her cult is incorporated in
the Robin Hood legends" and in the Merrie Men (Robin Hood and his
Merrie Men). That the "divine legacy of the *Sangreal* [Blood
Royal] was perpetuated in the sovereign and most noble houses of
Britain and Europe -- and it is still extant today."
THAT Grail lore was actively suppressed by the Roman Church, and
"underground symbolism" was utilized to help evade Catholic
censorship. That an example of this underground symbolism is the
Tarot cards.
THAT the Knights Templars were and are the guardians of the
*Sangreal* (Blood Royal). That by 1127 AD, the Knights Templars
had recovered an enormous treasure buried beneath King Solomon's
Temple. (In CN 10.83 it is suggested that the alchemical quest
to turn base metals into gold may have been a way to disguise
this sudden influx of treasure.) That along with gold and other
treasures, ancient learned texts were recovered. That knowledge
gleaned from these texts facilitated the building of the
marvelous Gothic cathedrals in France. That through their great
wealth and knowledge, the Knights Templars became "probably the
most influential body the world has ever known" and established
"the first international banking network." That by 1306 AD, King
Philippe of France was almost bankrupt and was heavily in debt to
the Knights Templars. That King Philippe conspired with the Pope
and they persecuted the Knights Templars. The Knights Templars
were accused of heresy, arrested, tortured, and executed. That
the Templar treasures were secretly removed to Scotland, and that
Papal orders to arrest the Templars were ignored in Scotland.
That "from the time of Robert the Bruce, each successive Bruce
and Stewart heir was a Knight Templar from birth..." That,
contrary to Establishment "history," the Knights Templars did not
become extinct in the 1300s.
THAT the early Stewarts (French adaptation, Stuarts) had
conjoined lineages from both Joseph of Arimathea and Jesus
Christ. That the late Princess Diana was descended from the
Stewarts, and hence had the Sangreal (Blood Royal). (CN 10.95,
"Who Controls Princess Diana Controls the World," by "Ru Mills"
(pseudonym)) That the House of Windsor, into which Diana married,
are imposters and usurpers (CN 10.95). That the House of Windsor
is the fake name of the House of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, changed to
"House of Windsor" during World War I to hide its German
heritage. That "the legitimate Royal House of Stuart (Stewart)
exists today..."
