The Pirates Part V

Clark Island which is in the Connecticut River at North field Massachusetts can be accessible from Long Island Sound. By taking the river up to where the water falls forces one to portage around them and continue up the river across from Pine Meadow.

A legend that is passed down from generation to generation Captain Kidd followed the Connecticut River up to Clark Island, searching for a place to cache treasure. They were looking for someplace out of the way but rememerable.

They burried a chest of treasure, then drew lots to see who would remain behind to protect the treasure! The lucky pirate who won the draw was promptly killed and his body was laid on top of the treasure chest.

This would frequently take place after a evening of party and rum consumption. The reason for this is the dead pirate was to protect the treasure from other treasure seekers!

The legend began to grow over the years, the legend states that the treasure could be only recovered by three men, at midnight with a full moon directly overhead.

They must stand around the treasure forming a triangle and work in complete silence. Words would break the spell! The legend continues that around 1840 three men followed the directions explicidy they were digging at midnight fearing to make a sound, not even so much as swatting at flies when one of them struck iron.

They looked at one another illuminated under the shadowy light of the full moon, they had dug very deep before striking iron, in a maze of mosquito's, not daring to swat at them, fearing to make noise that would break the spell, they slowly dug in a wide circle around the object.

They slowly began to raise the chest, when one of them exclaimed “we've got it!” And then immediately the chest began to sink out of reach, they fell to their knees trying to grasp it but the chest sunk into the depth of the muck. Like so many tales of treasure, you knew where it is, it's just out of reach!

For centuries the remnants of the lost Templar Fleet roamed the oceans, preying on the ship's loyal to the Vatican.

As the lands across the sea began to be discovered the Templar’s were there also, in their new form, The Scottish Rite of the Freemasons.

If nothing else they were central to the formation of the United States of America! The Templar’s began their transformation at Roslyn Chapel.

Prince Henry Sinclair's grandson William Sinclair was the last Earl of the Orkney Islands. After William the “Earldom of Orkney” transferred to the Scottish Crown as part of the dowry of Queen Margret of Denmark. She married King James III of Scotland.

Sir William was also known as the Knight of Cockle and the Golden Fleece. Sir William Sinclair was a member of a secret group that preserved knowledge concerning the Holy Grail, the Holy Blood and the Merovingian Kings.

They preserved knowledge of the destiny of the new land across the Atlantic. By the middle ages the builder of Solomon's Temple had become significant in the formation of craft guilds.

In 1410, a manuscript was found mentioning King Solomon son Tyre “Hiram”. This manuscript associates Tyre with ancient science that survived the flood. This knowledge has been reported by Pythagoras and Hermes.

A manuscript dated 1583 states Hiram is the Son of the king of Tyre and a “Master”. These manuscripts are evidence of widespread ancient knowledge.

The knights Templar's consider themselves as inheritors of this ancient knowledge. They struggled for hundred's of years struggling against the Vatican and their reign of terror known as the inquisition.

The Templar’s considered the “True Church” one that taught reincarnation, good works and mysticism as being suppressed by a dark cloud that called itself the one true faith.

Oppression against these other faiths was accomplished by torture, terror and extermination. Prince Henry Sinclair risked his reputation of a family that traces its origins to the High Priests of the Temple of Solomon, by his pursuits across the Atlantic.

It is said that he brought part of the Holy Grail to the new lands. Had these relics been used in the creation of America? The United States was formed on principles of Templar/Masonic beliefs.

Nine and perhaps as many as thirteen of the founding fathers were Masons. The Templar Masons believed in religious freedom and a free-trade banking system.

The Templar’s had helped to create a free and independent Scotland, then a “New Scotland”, then a independent United States.

The Templar’s were engineering the future in a way that they wanted the future to go. Their goal was to create new countries free of religious persecution and false doctrines that held”Kings as divine”.

Their goal was to create an independent country, free from the rule of Kings and the Vatican. This would mean a revolution, an American Revolution!
