 In 1995, a motion picture was released called 'Braveheart', spuriously depicting the life of Medieval Scottish warrior Sir William Wallace. Although Wallace was an heroic & influential figure in his own right (Wallace slew the Grand Master of the English Templars in single combat at the Battle of Falkirk 1298), much of the plot of the film was actually taken from the life & events of Wallace' contemporary King Robert The Bruce, who was the Scottish commander at the Battle of Bannockburn. Bannockburn, just outside Stirling, is considered to be the most decisive battle ever fought between the English & the Scots, as it was pivotal in securing Scottish Independence after a series of wars lasting over 30yrs & was fought on the 23rd/24th of June (the summer solstice to the medieval man), in 1314AD.....the year Grand Master of the Templars Jacques De Molay was executed. Many non Scots were deeply affected by the movie including me, & the film itself totally reinvigorated Scotlands tourist trade......but it was a veiled hatchet job on Bruce. The films star & director Mel Gibson it may be remembered was involved in another blood soaked pseudo-historical epic in 'The Passion Of Christ' & a supposedly drunken 'It's the Jews' diatribe a decade later, but my point here is that there's a cover up, the story of Scottish Independence was dramatised out of all recognition by Hollywood. Bruce was known in Scotland to future generations as 'Braveheart' because of a late 14th Cen poem written about him by John Barbour. As the story goes, in 1329, Bruce asked on his deathbed for his heart to be taken from his body after death & presented at the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem (Bruce must have considered Palestine safe enough for pilgrims now the Muslims were back in charge) & for his liege men to choose from among them one who would bring it, his Nobles chose Sir James Douglas. En route to the Holy Land, Douglas & his Scottish entourage were asked by King Alfonso of Spain for aid in his war against the Moors; 'Tradition has it that Douglas, realising that he could not escape, took Bruce's heart from the casket about his neck & flung it ahead of him into the midst of the Moors, crying: "Forward, brave heart, as ever thou were wont to do, & Douglas will follow thee or die". The Muslims respectfully allowed the Spaniards to recover the bodies of the dead Scots & Bruce's heart to be returned to Scotland. Among those who died with Douglas that day were Sir John & William St Clair (later Sinclair), whose descendants built Rosslyn Chapel, so famously depicted in the Da Vinci Code. The head family of the Piory de Sion today are called 'Plantard de Saint-Clair' it may be noted. In Braveheart, Bruce was portrayed as an ineffectual lightweight with leprosy in the family, although the truth of the matter is anything but the case. There are three undying traditions in Scotland regarding Bruce, one is that Bruce had leprosy, one is he betrayed Wallace & the other is that fugitive Knights Templars tipped the balance for Bruce at Bannockburn. The first has no grounds in historicity whatsoever. Bruce did have a bad malady of the skin towards the end but he was not segregated nor was leprosy ever mentioned until years after his death. Bruce, as did all the Nobles (bar Wallace), eventually 'Came into the Kings peace' (in 1302) as the term goes. It was Bruce alone though who was accused by the English King as feigning loyalty, as was the case in 1304 when he risked his own neck by saving Wallace's in a skirmish where Wallace was penned in at Selkirk Forest & Bruce had to flee England when Wallace was captured after being warned his own arrest was imminent. Wallace's brothers were continual members of Bruce's retinue & helped Bruce claim the throne some 6 months after Wallace's execution, but it was Bruces brother Edward who was the go between between Bruce & Wallace when Wallace was a fugitive. In other words, Wallace was helping Bruce in his bid to become King & cast off the yoke of the English. So that should clear that up. As for the latter legend, again none of the contemporary or modern day authorities give any mention of it. My guess is, whilst it's likely that some Templars made it to the Court of Bruce, the argument that the Templars won the day for the Scots on the whole derive from a familiar source. Authors of the 'Temple & The Lodge' (1991) Baigent & Leigh (Freemasons themselves) hypothesise Bruce as acting surreptitiously in concert with the Knights Templars, leaving the reader with the overall impression that Bruce may have been a Templar himself. Whereas Mackey's Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry has this to say; 'The introduction of Freemasonry into Scotland has been attributed by some writers to Robert, King of Scotland, commonly called Robert Bruce, who is said to have established in 1314 the Order of Herodom, for the reception of those Knights Templar who had taken refuge in his dominions from the persecutions of the Pope & the King of France'. Unfortunately, Mackey (& every other Masonic writer) fails to give a reference for his assertion so I guess we'll never know for sure. One thing we do know for sure is, despite being compelled into being a man of war, Bruce was a Christian. There's many instances of him reverently holding vigil in church or going on a pilgrimage, something he'd never have done if he were a pagan Knight Templar. Whatever the truth of the matter, it appears Edward Longshanks was; 'Baron de Westerode, who wrote in 1784, in the Acta Latomorum (i, page 336), gives the earliest origin of any Masonic writer to the Degree of Rose Croix. He supposes that it was instituted among the Knights Templar in Palestine, in the year 1188, & he adds that Prince Edward, the son of Henry III of England, was admitted into the Order by Raymond Lully in 1296......He [Lully] died in 1314. He is known as an eminent Rosicrucian, & many fables as to his longevity are related.' (Mackey's Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry). Henry III was publicly chastised & threatened by the Templars with de-thronement for his criticism of the Order, during the reign of his son however, we see the following events occur, the expulsion of the Jews (1290), the annexation of Wales (1283), the annexation of Scotland (1292-96), the outlawing of large numbers of clergy for refusing to pay taxes (1297), & the start of a war with France which lasted on & off for another 500yrs.....Note the expulsion of the Jews occurring right after the Knights Templar were ousted from the Holy Land. Wallace was captured, Bruce was not. In the film Braveheart, Wallace chases the English all the way to York, where the town is besieged & taken by the Scots. Suffice to say this did not occur, however Bruce did defeat an English army nearby & the King of England had to flee to the toon in his nightdress. To me this is significant, again from Mackey's Encyclopaedia, 'York, the county seat of Yorkshire, lying 88 miles north of London, with a population in 1930 of about 85,000, is one of the oldest cities in England, & one of the most famous cities in the world. Next after London itself, Speculative Freemasonry's mother city, it is also the great Masonic city'. Maybe this is the reason that so many momentous events occur in 'New' York.....? 'EDWARD, KINGS The four kings, numerically known as the First, Second, Third, & Fourth, appear as favorers, abettors, & protectors of the Institution of Freemasonry.' - 'Mackey's Encyclopaedia Of Freemasonry' Other coincidences with this saga are dates. Bannockburn was fought on the 23rd & 24th of June......the feast day of St John the Baptist. The Winter Solstice as we know is represented in Christendom by John's cousin Jesus. Mackey says it was Bruce that created the Order of St Andrew of the Thistle on June 24th 1314 & for good measure the Grand Lodge of England was formed on the 24th June 1717....All this cannot fail to mean something in the Mysteries.  Magnus Magnusson in his book 'Scotland: The Story of a Nation', recounts a story suggesting that in 1296, Edward I (Longshanks) removed from Scone & placed beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abbey for the next 700 yrs, not the famous 'Stone of Destiny' (Coronation Stone), but a replica hewn by the Monks of Scone, the real stone being concealed in the shallows of a nearby loch & brought out again for Bruce's coronation ten years later. Moot point? (Scottish joke there) Maybe, until one realises the history of this 'Stone of Destiny'. It was said to be the stone upon which Jacob rested when he dreamed about his ladder (an incredibly significant concept in Freemasonry as it represents the grades of the initiatory process), it was also said to be the stone which resided in the Holy of Holies in Solomons Temple in Jerusalem. Added to that was the fact that Bruces daughter was the co-founder of the Stuart Dynasty, said (by themselves nowadays) to be of the line of King David. The Mysteries have a peculiar penchant for stone worship, as does the Abrahamic religions; 'Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.' - Isaiah 28:16 'Divide your stone into the four elements [earth, air, water & fire], then join them together again as one, & you will have the whole magisterium.' - Hermes Trismegistus 'Once more, what is this Stone actually? It is the foundation of absolute philosophy, it is supreme & immovable reason.' - Eliphas Levi Incidentally there's a curious link between alleged Templars, Bruce & Christopher Columbus; 'Is there any reason to believe that Christopher Columbus knew anything about Prince Henry Sinclair's voyage to America? His daughter, Elizabeth, passed the story along to her son, who told his in-laws, who were the parents of Columbus's wife!......Some may recall that a Sinclair was among the Scots killed by the Moors in Spain while carrying the heart of Bruce to the Holy Land.' (clansinclairsc.org). On the many Templar gravestones dotted around Scotland the Knight is seen resting his feet on a dog or instead there's a set of skull & bones. On his grave in Dunfermline Abbey (where I was married), Bruce is depicted as resting his feet on a golden lion & an eerie cast of his skull lies in a glass case some 20ft from the altar under which he lies. At the site of the Bannockburn battlefield of course stands a rotunda with a huge flagpole just off-centre in the middle, dedicated by the local Masonic Lodge; http://battleofbannockburn.com/history/about-the-battlefield/  Sketch of the exhumed body of Edward I 'Longshanks' I (1774) in Westminster Abbey, London. A bit about Bruce. Bruce was known in his day for being one of the top three warriors in Christendom, he was renown for being a first rate General also. He never lost a battle, he was ambushed, treacherously by the English a couple of times but not after the Battle (ambush) of Methven in 1306 did he end up on the wrong end of things. After his famous regroup on the western isles (& the spider), he defeated the English thrice in succession before Edward I raised a huge army & marched north to deal with Bruce himself, only to die en route within sight of Scotland. Before leaving London, he conducted a strange pagan ceremony called, 'The Feast of the Swans', at Westminster Abbey, at which 267 men were Knighted, & all swore not to rest until they'd acted revenge on Robert Bruce. Edwards son Edward II fared no better at the hands of Bruce, eventually being dethroned & murdered by his own Court. His young son Edward III took up the crusade against the Scots & was within a hairs breadth of being captured within his royal tent by Bruces men, in England….just like his father & shortly after he gave Bruce & the Scots their independence in 1328, the year before Bruce died aged 54. As noted, Edward Plantagenet (I) was without doubt a Knight Templar, his son was on the English throne when the Templars were outlawed in 1307 & refused to comply with the Papacy to round them up until his father-in-law Phillip The Fair of France compelled him to....if it's in the family?? It was his son Edward III who created the still extant 'Order Of The Garter' in 1348, whose coat of arms hosts a rose red cross on a white field, just like the flag of the Knights Templar. The Plantagenets are regarded as the mightiest of Englands Medieval Kings ……..Robert The Bruce trounced three on the bounce, & to make matters worse, Bruce sent his brother Edward to Ireland in 1315 to rouse the Irish & proclaim himself King of Ireland, eventually succumbing to the English in battle in 1318. Edward Bruce, who did have Irish heritage from his mothers side was the last King of Ireland.......All this is not going to go down well in old London town I'm thinking. As historians vigorously attempt to implant in our minds that Robert Bruce was aided & abetted by the Templars, in my estimation it was the reverse, he was as great & valiant an opponent of theirs as Sultan Saladin or anyone else, if not the greatest. There was no need to embellish William Wallace's life story out of all proportion as it stands tall enough on it's own merits. My own thoughts are his dispatchment of the Grand Master of the English Templars, Sir Brian de Jay, probably contributed more than anything towards Wallace's barbaric treatment at the hands of mighty Edward & Mel Gibson. Something else I've noticed concerning Robert Bruce is that he's hardly ever depicted in film & when he is it's done disparagingly, yet he's one of the most interesting & valiant kings Europe ever knew. I don't remember seeing George Washington depicted in any great depth or film of note either, although there was one starring Mel Gibson released shortly after Braveheart, so something else is at work here with these stories. A year after Braveheart was released this happens; 'In 1996, in a symbolic response to growing dissatisfaction among Scots at the prevailing constitutional settlement, the British Conservative Government decided that the stone should be kept in Scotland when not in use at coronations. On 3 July 1996, it was announced in the House of Commons that the stone would be returned to Scotland, & on 15 November 1996, after a handover ceremony at the border between representatives of the Home Office & of the Scottish Office, it was transported to Edinburgh Castle. The stone arrived in the Castle on 30 November 1996 & it remains alongside the crown jewels of Scotland (the Honours of Scotland) in the Crown Room. The handover occurred on St Andrew's Day [November 30], a day in honour of the patron Saint of Scotland, & Prince Andrew, Duke of York [my emphasis] was the Queen's representative' - Wikipedia Other events in 1996 included; 'The heart was buried along with Douglas near Melrose Abbey. In 1920 it was exhumed, & then buried again without a marker. In 1996 during excavations of the abbey ruins the urn was discovered & confirmed to hold the heart of Robert the Bruce. His heart was finally interred within Melrose Abbey, almost 700 years after he had initially requested it.' https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/robert-the-bruces-heart As noted, Scotland received a huge increase in tourism because of the film Braveheart, but how much of the vast sums of wealth filtered down to the common man I can't say, although at a guess I'd say hardly any of it. Here's my reason for saying that. The year after Scotland supposedly reclaimed the replica Stone of Scone, the UK parliament in London gave Scotland 'Devolved' (sounds like a backward step to me) powers, allowing for a Scottish Assembly & autonomy on tax policy, this occurred on September 11th 1997. ('Devolution' is a concept in the Qabbala, it's opposite is 'Involution') Given that the main political party in Scotland at the time was the socialist 'Labour Party' (identified as an arm of Grand Orient Freemasonry by Nesta Webster in 1924), then taxes can only go up, & they did. Moreover, Scotland became more Nationalist, leading eventually to the Scottish Nationalist Party ascending Labour as Scotlands largest political party & by 2014 Scotland was given a referendum on independence. People from all over the world were allowed to vote on this one as long as they were 'resident' in Scotland & over 16. Coincidentally, the same Labour Government (under Tony Blair) that had allowed Scotland it's devolved powers, had previously allowed millions of immigrants from all over the world to enter the UK, as had subsequent & previous governments. So after narrowly losing out on the Independence Vote, the traditionally European orientated Scottish Nationalists held their breath as the UK as a whole voted in 2016 on whether to leave the European Union, & it did by another narrow margin.
 In 2005, the British television stations began to show Scotland as being much smaller than it actually is on it's weather maps. There has to be a reason for all this run of bad luck for the Scots & royal historian Laurence Gardner believed he had the answer. In his 'Bloodline of the Holy Grail' (also published in 1996), chapter; 'House of the Unicorns', he writes; 'After many failed attempts to gain control of Scotland, the English Parliament had discovered a strategic route to Scottish possession - one that may well have been devised before James was invited to succeed. Once James was settled on the united thrones [1603], a solution to the long standing ambition was in place: (a) future Kings of Britain would remain based in London, thereby restricting Scottish influence even in the affairs of Scotland; (b) Westminster could eventually dissolve the traditional Scottish Three States Parliament; (c) at an appropriate time, the Stuarts could be discredited & deposed, & (d) a puppet Monarch of Westminster's own choosing could then replace the Scottish succession. The perceived outcome of this strategy would be Scotland's overall subjection to English rule - an ambition which had prevailed since the days of Edward I.' The 'House of Unicorns' says Gardner is the House of Stuart, traced (as stated) back to Bruce's daughter Marjory. The Stuart Dynasty survived however & has once again found it's way back into the corridors of the British Monarchy in the form of Prince William & Harry, whose Stuart descended mother was killed just days before Scotland was allowed it's 'Devoultion'. The Grail Bloodline Gardner speaks of is the bloodline of Jesus, traceable back through the Stuarts, Lorraine's of France, Merovingian's, back to the Fisher Kings, through Jesus & all the way back to King David, so we're back to the Da Vinci Code again. It was a Stuart King, James VI that united the crowns of Scotland & England & his mother Mary Queen of Scots was executed in 1587 by the Rosicrucian Court of Elizabeth I. One of the most vocal in calling for Mary's execution was Rosicrucian & founder of modern Freemasonry Sir Francis Bacon, & it was under the precedent set by Bacons own seriously suspect impeachment in 1621 that Mary's grandson & James' son King Charles (Stuart) was tried & executed in 1649 by Oliver Cromwell's 'Commonwealth'. https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/10869.24.157.0/britain/the-mystery-of-the-royal-british-throne?preview As I point out elsewhere, the Unicorn, depicted on the British Coat Of Arms is (amongst other things) a symbol of Scotland & for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The Unicorn appears chained on the British Coat of Arms, apparently because it stands opposite the Lion Of Judah. The King David of the Bible remember merged the Kingdoms of Judah & Israel but what's also being portrayed here is the union of the sun (Lion - 'Wisdom' in the Qabbala) & the moon (Unicorn - 'Will' in the Qabbala), the male & female of the Hermetic Marriage, or, the perfection of mankind, brought about by Alchemy. Imagination is symbolised in the Mysteries by the Unicorn, & it (the Unicorn) can also represent Lucifer, the Christ, the perfected man etc. https://youtu.be/phmDFjYbSNw For more on this subject see Bill Coopers broadcast; - https://youtu.be/9tdGRqJNcWM?list=PL0bQMf3_6fQigYCozcIvzLR7DxTL72cjg 'The name Scottish or Scotland is derived from the Latin, from Greek skotia, from feminine of skotios, dark, shadowy (from the shadow it casts), from skotos, darkness. In ancient Egypt there was a temple of Venus Scotia & it is said that the country of Scotland had derived its name from an Egyptian Pharaoh Queen named Scota. The chaos (CHAO) is the society we see around us today & it is the builders who influence the leaders to manufacture this chaos so that they can conceal their creations in darkness while they work towards the light (ORDO). Without chaos there would never be order. Without darkness, there can be no light & without light there can be no darkness. What is the AS ABOVE, is the SO BELOW of this Secret Brotherhood. The Grand Architects of CHAO (hell or illusion) become the masters of ORDO (Heaven on earth). The torch bearers who carry the light in the dark will now be the light bearers [Lucifers] who usher in the new dawn of a new day.' - http://gnosticwarrior.com/ordo-ab-chao.html In a sorry footnote to the saga, an appalling statue of Mel Gibson, dressed in a kilt, holding a ball & chain with the word 'Freedom' carved on a plinth at the base was erected at the foot of Abbey Craig, a rocky outcrop overlooking the site of Wallace's triumph over the English at Stirling in 1297. Mercifully however, owing to frequent attacks by outraged locals, the abomination had to be placed in a steel cage (iron-ically) for it's own protection......before finally being dispensed with altogether. Incidentally, Sir John Comyn, the guy Wallace kills with the ball & chain for betraying him at the Battle of Falkirk (& he did) in Braveheart, was in fact killed by Bruce (for betraying him according to Bruce) in Feb 1306. Bruce was on Wallace's side at Falkirk, not the English as Braveheart (who was Bruce) portrays, the proof of this lies in the fact that Bruces lands were singled out by Edward for destruction by the English on their march home in retribution. Negation, let's not forget is a precept of the Mysteries. Meanwhile in the 21st Cen, someone eligible to vote in Scotland's 2014 vote on independence was Edward I (Longshanks) Plantagenet desendent, Donald Trump, by virtue of his purchase of Turnberry Golfcourse (Ayrshire) some 5 months previous. 'Trump Turnberry' as it's now known was built upon the site of the Medieval castle of Turnberry, birthplace of legendary Scottish King; .........Robert The Bruce. 'Presidential candidate Donald Trump may criticize rival Hillary Clinton regularly, but the Republican & Democratic front-runners are actually distant relatives. Both the real estate tycoon and former Secretary of State are the direct descendants of 14th century 1st Duke of Lancaster John of Gaunt and his third wife Katherine Swynford, according to the ancestry site MyHeritage.com.' - Daily Mail (26 August 2015). (John of Gaunt was Edward III's son) The Tarot 'Trumps' are among the most important devices of Alchemy (i.e. mind control, brainwashing, propaganda, psychology), whereas numerology is a precept of the Qabbala. So is it any wonder all this occurred exactly 700yrs after The Scottish Wars Of Independence? http://www.vinnysblogbookcom.com/vinnys-blogbook/the-magnificent-7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-37927470 In conclusion then, the Mysteries are acting out revenge on three agencies for their role in the downfall of the Templars in 1307, the church, the nation state & the mob. If Mel Gibson is a Catholic then I'm the Pope, he's nothing of the sort & neither is his father, what Christian would portray the Passion of Jesus in the manner he did? Why was the film so blood-soaked? This pagan gives us a clue; - http://witchesandpagans.com/sagewoman-blogs/priestess-grove/blood-mysteries.html Scottish nationalism, after receiving a massive propaganda boost by charlatan/actor Gibson was dealt a cruel hammer blow after narrowly missing out on independence exactly 700yrs after Bruce, not Wallace (although he was Bruce' inspiration) had secured it, these things & everything else that's happened to the Scottish on the political/history front recently, none of it good has all contrived to shatter any vestments of national identity & left those who contrived to bring it about firmly in the seat of power. Being socialists, the leaders of the Scottish Nationalist Party MUST know all this which makes them royal arch traitors in my book, the same goes for the Irish Nationalist leadership but that's for another blog. & if Bonnie Prince Charlie was a Jaco (De Molay) -bite, then that makes him a KnightTemplar & a plant, by the way.  Epiblog Less than ten months after the release in Britain of the film Braveheart, on the eve of the 700th anniversary of Wallaces victory over the English at Stirling & some 5m from the battle site, the most infamous massacre of the innocents in our (UK) living memory occurred at a school in the village of Dunblane. The perpetrator was local Thomas Hamilton, however there is next to no information on this man on the internet. Suffice to say, the incoming Prime Minister & Edinburgh boy Tony Blair banned handguns in the UK the following year; https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/64/contents Tony Blair then set about taking the country to war no less than four times during his tenure, always against people who didn't stand a prayer from the offing. Now the survivors of the Dunblane massacre are appealing to Donald Trump to ban guns in America, no doubt after a heap of encouragement. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5696787/Dunblane-massacre- survivor-wants-meet-President-Donald-Trump.html
