Zionism is a movement that grew from Jewish Enlightenment. Thus, Zionists were secular Jews, often Marrots. Two heresies of Judaism, spinozism and Sabbateanism were well represented in Jewish Enlightenment.

Shabbatai Zvi, or Zevi, or Tzvi, was a false Jewish Messiah who was to take power in the year 1666 and at that time about one half of all Jews are claimed to have believed in him. The expectations were crashed when Shabbatai Zvi converted to Islam – in fact, he had no choice – and most of the followers deserted him. Not much was heard of Sabbateans from the time of Shabbatean Zvi’s conversion up to the time of Jacob Frank in the next century. At the time of Jacob Frank the schism between Sabbateans and Talmudic Jewish sects caused Sabbateans to be expelled. Sabbateans were a heretic sect of Judaism, which believes in incarnation, removal of the state, religion and family; do not study Talmudic laws, study Kabbalah for while and black magic, and they were 'claimed' to practice sexual orgies and incest.

It is common for Christians to think that the Jews carrying side-curls are orthodox, i.e., Talmudic, Jews. Actually, they are hasidic Jews, which have many similar teachings as Sabbateans. Hasidic Jews also consider Kabbalah as the highest teaching, believe in incarnation, and have Rabbis who say the Tetragrammaton, the Baal Shems. Still there is a major difference: Hasidism is an accepted form of Judaism, while Sabbateans are expelled heretics. Sabbateans converted outwardly to any religion, like Catholism or Islam. Many of them appear as secular Jews. Many are not Jews at all.

They hope to be the twelve tribes of Israel, so naturally not all of them can be from the two tribes, Judas and Benjamin, represented in present day Jews. A small number of followers kept on believing and there is still [a very] small number living a community of Dönmeh in Turkey – outwardly Muslim, but secretly Jewish. Young Turks had close connections with Dönmeh [and many freemasonic lodges].

Jewish bankers had accumulated great wealth in the middle ages by usury and were very influential in the Netherlands in the beginning of the 17th century. Orthodox Jews dreamt of a return to Palestine but could not return before the Messiah arises. In 1648 Sabbatai Zvi started claiming being the Messiah, finally about half of all Jews believed in him. Sabbatai converted to Islam and the movement lots of supporters. Around the same time Baruch Spinoza presented his atheistic philosophy. Supporters of both Spinoza and Sabbatai Zevi created the Jewish Enlightenment, called Haskalah.

England allowed the return of Jews in 1655. Jews funded Oliver Cromwell to power and managed to get a strong hold of English economy. Three interwoven processes were started: Shabbatean movement with strong occult connections, spinozian movement leading to communism, and traditional economic take-over of nations. Freemasonry become largely infiltrated and used for the goals of these movements. The goal of all of these movements is to create one world run by the Chosen, as a realization of Biblical prophesies. Israel had to be reborn by collecting all Jews to Palestine after a great time of persecution, according to prophesies.

Some NWO theoreticians, like Rabbi Martin Antelman and Henry Makov [a controlled opposition and disinformation agent] , try to establish a connection between Sabbateans and the Bavarian Illuminati. Jacob Frank, or his daughter Eva Frank, lived for some time not far from Adam Weishaupt’s home town. I did not manage to verify this connection. There could have been other connections if we assume that Samuel Falk, the Baal Shem of London, was a crypto-Sabbatean, as Nesta Webster claims. Samuel Falk apparently knew Cagliostro and met Swedenborg. The necklace affair of Maria Antoinette connects Cagliostro to Jacobins and he founded the Egyptian Freemasonry, the origin of the Mizraim Lodges [revolutionary lodges]. Swedenbord is one of the founders of Theosophy. The rest of the Sabbatean NWO theories are as in the Freemasonry NWO theory: Illuminati, Jacobins, Carbonaries, communists.

In conclusion, the role of Sabbateans is not well demonstrated. Sabbateanism was the other Jewish heresy, the other was Spinozism. Secular Jews in the Radical Enlightenment contained both spinozists and Sabbateans. It is possible that some ideas of Radical Enlightenment can be traces to Shabbatai Zvi, who as the Messiah removed the Jewish law. His conversion to Islam can be interpreted as a sign that all religions are the same. Still, there is no evidence that the remains of Sabbateans have any major role as a group in Radical Enlightenment. Sabbatean NWO theories may be an effort to lay the blame on a group that does not exist and which is clearly outside accepted Judaism.

There is a personal and ideological continuum from the Bavarian Illuminati, through Jacobins and Carbonari to Communists. The Egyptian Freemasonry, founded by Cagliostro, and its later developments: the Rite of the Philadelphes, the Rite of Mizraim, the Rite of Memphis, and the merged form the Rite of Memphis-Mizraim under the irregular Grand Orient of France, have been closely associated with all of the revolutionary movements between 1770 and 1870. Zionism originates from the Grand Orient of France and there are personal connections tying both Zionism and communism to B’nai B’rith and Anti-Defemation League (ADL). The support of international bankers to communism, and also to Nazism, has been shown by several historians. This support has mainly come from Anglo-American and Jewish sources. As the Grand Orient of France was not active in these countries and Freemasonry is implied in this support, the lodges behind these subversive movements must have been some secret group inside regular Freemasonry.
