Such organizations include: Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), United Nations (founded by CFR), Illuminati order Skull & Bones (inner circle of the CFR), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, Bank of International Settlement, Club of Rome, Chatham House (formally the Royal Institute of International Affairs - RIIA), Round Table, Tavistock Institute for Human Studies (England's psychological warfare think tank), Associated Press, Reuters (Rothschild owned news monopoly), and many others, all of which, work in favour of their one world government agenda. 1 THE BLACK NOBILITY ALIGNMENT WITH POPE PIUS IX 4 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VENETIAN BLACK NOBILITY 6 3 THE DESCENDANTS OF THE BLACK NOBILITY 10 4 THE CORPORATE INFLUENCE OF THE BLACK NOBILITY 14 5 THE PRIMARY BLOODLINE PARTNERS OF THE BLACK NOBILITY 21 6 AFFIRMATIONS OF THE BLACK NOBILITY AND DYNASTIC FAMILIES 28 BLACK NOBILITY TERROR A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 3 BLACK NOBILITY TERROR PART 1 – OLIGARCH ELITISM 1. THE BLACK NOBILITY ALIGNMENT WITH POPE PIUS IX In mainstream historical books the Black Nobility or Black Aristocracy are traditionally defined as Roman aristocratic families who sided with the Papacy under Pope Pius IX after the Savoy family led army of the Kingdom of Italy, entered Rome on September 20, 1870, overthrew the Pope and the Papal States, and took over the Quirinal Palace, and any nobles that were in allegiance to the Pope. This marked the end of the thirteen hundred year rule of papal Rome over the state in which the Pope was seen as both the spiritual and political leader of not just Rome but much of mainland Europe. Now Italy and Rome, would be under the control of an actual secular political government which at the time would be a fascist government led by Benito Mussolini. For the next fifty years, the Pope confined himself to Vatican City and claimed to be a prisoner in the Vatican to avoid the appearance of accepting the authority of the new Italian government and state. Aristocrats who had been ennobled by the Pope and were formerly subjects of the Papal States, including the senior members of the Papal Court, kept the doors of their palaces in Rome closed to mourn the Pope's confinement, which led to them being called the "Black Nobility". It was in 1929 during the Lateran Treaty that a truce was established between the Italian government and the Vatican. The Lateran Treaty recognized the full sovereignty of the Roman Catholic Church in the state of Vatican City and would detail buildings and territories of the Vatican which would be exempt from taxes. The treaty was signed by King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister and Head of Government, and for Pope Pius XI by Pietro Gasparri, Cardinal Secretary of State, on February 11, 1929. The term Black Nobility had existed for prior centuries in reference to powerful families who moved to Rome to benefit from a family connection to the Vatican. These supported the Popes in the governance of the Papal BLACK NOBILITY TERROR A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 4 BLACK NOBILITY TERROR PART 1 – OLIGARCH ELITISM States and in the administration of the Holy See. Many of the members of Black Nobility families also became high ranking clergy and even Popes. Black Nobility families (in this instance families whose ancestors included Popes) still in existence include notably the Colonna, Massimo, Orsini, Pallavicini, Borghese, Odescalchi, and Ludovisi. Major extinct papal families include the Savelli, Caetani, the Aldobrandini family and Conti. Famous members of Black Nobility families include Eugenio Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII. Following the conclusion of the Lateran Treaty in 1929, the Black Nobility were given dual citizenship in Italy and Vatican City. Under the provisions of the treaty, noble titles granted by the pope were recognized in the Kingdom of Italy. Many of these families were members of the largely ceremonial Papal Noble Guard; others were foreigners affiliated with the Holy See in various ways. In 1931, Pope Pius XI denied the request of Alfonso XIII of Spain to open the Noble Guard further to nobles from all Catholic countries. In World War II, the Papal Noble Guard guarded the Pope alongside the Swiss Guard. Pope Paul VI abolished many Vatican City positions with the apostolic letter motu proprio Pontificalis Domus (The Papal Household) in 1968. As well as changing the name of the group from Papal Court to Papal Household, many of the positions occupied by the Black Nobility were abolished. According to the motu proprio: " Many of the offices entrusted to members of the Papal Household were deprived of their function, continuing to exist as purely honorary positions, without much correspondence to concrete needs of the times." However where did the black nobility emerge from? Were they always there as supporters of the papacy? BLACK NOBILITY TERROR A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 5 BLACK NOBILITY TERROR PART 1 – OLIGARCH ELITISM 2. THE VENETIAN BLACK NOBILITY The term black nobility has a far deeper significance than just noble support for the Papacy and actually stems back to the time of empires that pre-dated ancient Rome. Before the rise of the Roman Empire as the world’s dominant power in the Mediterranean, there existed a very specific cartel of oligarchical families mainly centred on Babylon, Persia, Greece, Tyre and Phoenicia. These oligarchical families were powerful families who had significant influence in regards to commerce and trade in the areas that they resided in. It was these families who dominated maritime trade and commerce. They were the merchants of the sea. Over this period of time there was a succession of empires as the newly emerging empire overcame the older, with the Babylonian empire succeeded by the Medes and Persians who then were conquered by the Greeks who were then conquered by the Romans. This period of world history which encompassed around 450 years resulted in a lot of marriages between different oligarchical families from different empires leading to bloodlines which would share heritage from different ancestry. By the time of the Romans much of the oligarchical families were composed of people who had an ancestry which came from Phoenicia, Greece, Persia, Babylon and even far back as Egypt and many of them eventually settled in Venice. The first of three crusades in the Middle East and the capturing of Jerusalem from the Muslims from 1063 to 1123, established the power base of oligarchical families living in the republic of Venice and solidified their power as the wealthy ruling class in Venice and Genoa. This was due to the fact that the extension of the Roman empire into the Middle East and capturing of significant trading routes through Syria, Israel and the Arabian peninsula opened up significant trading opportunities for the port of Venice in acting as a gateway from Europe (from the Adriatic Sea) far into the Middle East and beyond into Asia. The level of wealth this brought to Venice was such that Venetians were able to develop and provide military naval support for the Crusaders ventures into the Middle East and thus Venice became not only an economic power but a BLACK NOBILITY TERROR A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING AND WWW.GLOBALREPORT2010.COM ©2014, All rights reserved 6 BLACK NOBILITY TERROR PART 1 – OLIGARCH ELITISM strategic power for the eastern side (Byzantine) of the Roman Empire. By 1082, the Venetians had tax-free trading rights in the entire Byzantine Empire. However what distinguishes the oligarchical families of Venice was that after the decline of the reign of the Roman emperors and the break-up of the Roman Empire into various republics and tribes, they set a precedent by (families of influence) actually taking full control of their republic whereas traditionally it would have been the responsibility of a single ruler backed by a committee that would have had this responsibility.

Louise Brodie talking to Martin Gordon.] Could you tell me where and when you were born please? I was born on the 19th of July 1938, the year of the Tiger. I was born in Kensington, in St. Mary Abbot's Terrace. My father was an economist. And, my father had been born in Italy at the beginning of the century; my mother had been born in China in 1913, where her father had been practising as a doctor in Manchuria. Therefore I came from a very international background, albeit my family was a Scottish-English family and I was born in London, but I always had a very strong international inclination from my parents and from other members of my family around the world.

    E R I T A G ··E.· Journa{ of tfze frencft-Caruufian 1-ftritage Society of Micftigan . ' Vol. 28 #2 Apr. 2007 Correction of Catherine Baillon's Grimaldi Ancestry John P. DuLong, FCHSM member ([email protected]) Many French Canadians descend from the noble lady Catherine Baillon and through her they have ancestors far removed from the cold shores of the St. Lawrence. Among her medieval Franco-Italian ancestors who once basked in the warmth of the Mediterranean are the Grimaldis. In the Table d'ascendance de Catherine Bail/on (12 generations) two Grimaldi descents for Catherine Baillon are presented. 1 The first goes through the Grimaldi of Beuil family and the second is through the Grimaldi of Antibes family. 2 While the former stands intact, the latter is in need of correction. In the ninth generation of Catherine Baillon's ancestry she descends from Rainier Lascaris, count of Vintimille and co-seigneur of La Briga and Limone. He was the son of Ludovic (or Louis) Lascaris, count ofVintimille, and Tiburge Grimaldi de Beuil. Rainier was married around 1400-1403 to Madeleine Grimaldi, the daughter of Luc Grimaldi and Yolande Grimaldi, whose parents, and thus her relationship to Luc, are unknown. Luc was the brother of Marc Grimaldi, with whom he shared the seigneuries of Antibes, Cagnes, and Menton. 3 It is well established that Luc and Marc were the sons of Antoine Grimaldi who was married to Catherine Doria. 4 The issue is who are the parents of Antoine Grimaldi? In the Table d'ascendance de Catherine Bail/on (12 generations) the answer to this question is that Antoine Grimaldi was the son of Rainier I Grimaldi, the founder of the family that eventually became the princes of Monaco.

  • Regarding Dethroned Princely Houses and Their Legal Rights
    Regarding dethroned princely Houses and their legal rights Reference is made to the decision of the United Court of Bari of the 1st April 1952 in the case of the prosecutor vs. Umberto Zambrini and to the decision of the Tribunal of Pistoia of the 5th June 1964 in the case of the appeal against the penal judgment given against Francesco Mario Paternò Castello having found Prince Francesco Mario Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as the last representative of a sovereign dynasty (the Royal House of Aragon), entitled to confer titles of nobility (the Court of Bari), respectively being the heir to the House of Paternò Castello Guttadauro di Emmanuel and legitimate holder of the same family’s rights, including the power of ius honorum which has been preserved by family tradition and which cannot disappear through dethronement (Pistoia). Further reference is made to the decision of the Ordinary Tribunal of Ragusa of the 9th May 2003, in session as an international court of arbitration, in the case between the Higher Institute of Nobiliary Law vs. Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci. According to the findings of the court of arbitration the following rights belong to Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as consanguineous and descendant in a collateral line of the last sovereign of the Royal House of Aragon as his legitimate successor and as pretender to the throne: a) the quality of Royal Highness and Royal Prince of the Royal House of Aragon, Majorca and Sicily; b) the right to designate

Naclerio May 13, 2013 Paul Moritz Warburg The name Paul Moritz Warburg is synonymous with the founding of the Federal Reserve System. Warburg’s impact on American banking is a parallel to his family’s impact on European banking. The epic story of the Warburg family of European bankers can be traced back to the early 1500s when Simon von Cassel settled in the German Westphalia town of Warburg (originally founded by Charlemagne in 778 and was then known as Warburgum) and began the family’s quest for money and financial power. Although the Warburgs excelled in many other occupations throughout Europe, it was this lineage that produced some of the most successful bankers in the world. Blessed with sharp minds and good business sense, the generations of the Warburg clan gained seemingly boundless money and power.

Though his reign ended under a cloud throne in 1907. of scandal, he was instrumental in keeping his country neutral through two devastating world wars, passing progressive social legislation, and maintaining economic prosperity. Oscar Gustaf Adolf, who would later become Gustav, or Gustavus V, was born on June 16, 1858, in Stockholm's magnificent Drottningholm Palace. He was the eldest son of Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway, which were united under one monarch until 1905, when Norway asserted its independence. Though a member of the royal house of Bernadotte, Crown Prince Gustaf was an unassuming young man who did not value regal pretensions. He was educated at the University of Uppsala. On a trip to Britain in 1878, he learned the game of tennis, which became a life-long passion. He often played incognito, under the pseudonym "Mr. G." In 1881, Crown Prince Gustaf married Victoria of Baden, a political union that united the Bernadottes with the former Swedish royal house of Vasa. Though they had three sons, the couple did not have a close relationship.
