(post number 6.)
The situation in Sicily that brought on the events known as the Sicilian Vespers, was that the island was ruled by the Angevin French. The year was 1282 and it was Easter Monday in Palermo. As the Sicilians made their way to evening prays(called Vespers), tax agents and soldiers were at the church to apprehend tax debtors. One of the French soldiers sexually assaulted one of the women and one of the Sicilian men killed the soldier to defend her honour. The other French soldiers attacked the Sicilian who had killed one of their troop, but this provoked a wider attack from the Sicilians gathered outside the church. The church bells are said to have begun ringing during the violence. The conflict between the French soldiers and the Sicilians spread across the island and became known as the War of the Sicilian Vespers. Hundreds of years later when the mafia was established, this incident was looked on as an example of the defense of honour.(This has been drawn, largely, from A Man of Honor: The Autobiography of Joseph Bonanno, page 39.)
I want to mention another Shakespeare play, Hamlet. In this play the main character, Hamlet, contemplates suicide in a scene that has become the most well known scene in the play. He speaks his thoughts in this scene and puts the case in favour of suicide. Although he does not go on to commit suicide, his girlfriend Ophelia does. So do the characters Lady Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet from other well known Shakespeare plays. In Hamlet, indecisiveness on the part of the main character seems to be highlighted. He is indecisive about whether to commit suicide and later about whether to fight to-the-death against his stepfather.
Shakespeare, being bonded to the Masons, may have been instructed by them to include this suicide related content, as a model for certain people to follow. The Masons have developed techniques to cause people to commit suicide. The three main ways the Masons have (as I see it), of driving people to suicide are the "evil eye"; secondly, by causing people to believe that they have psychic or para-normal powers that they cannot control; and the third being by arousing intense feelings of romantic love which are then dashed in a sudden or inexplicable manner. Each of these ways has a representation (perhaps a model) in Shakespeare's plays. King Lear has the "evil eye", the title word "Lear" being a clue to this. This word sounds the same as the word "leer", meaning "a sly, sidelong or lecherous look"(From Chambers English Dictionary). And the character of King Lear dies on the words "look there". Psychic or para-normal powers are represented in the play Macbeth, by the witches, known in the play as the "weird sisters", and intense love gone wrong which then leads to suicide is the storyline of Romeo and Juliet.
It is possible to trace some of the history of the evil eye through the dictionary listings. Starting with the entry for "compass", the noun, in the big Oxford English Dictionary, we see that "eye" is mentioned in meaning number 5b. which says "Anything circular in shape......the compass of the eye, orbita". The stonemasons had as one of their lines of employment, the carving of millstones for the grinding of grain into flour. The upper millstone, the one that moves, is a circular stone shaped like a wheel with a hole through the middle, through which is fitted an iron support called a mill-rind. During the carving of the millstones the stonemasons would have been able to look through the hole and possibly scare people who were caught by surprise. The Masons, (it seems), found that they were able to recreate this ability to frighten people by using a monk's robe with a hood on the head. Passing by the targeted person at a distance, the person under the hood would not be seen, until they turned in a deliberate motion to stare directly at the person being targeted. When the target person had been given the evil eye a number of times by different people, if it is successful, that person had a sudden realization of an evil network in existence in their society. The effect could often be described as terror. The result could be suicide, or an appearance of insanity, or murderous rampage, or, the person could become a murderer under the control of the Masons.
To heighten the effect of the evil eye, the Masons took up the practice of breaking each others noses, at which they became quite skilled, probably using a sledge hammer, and are able to put the break in the position that they want, and make it a severe break or a slight break. Severe breaks in the middle of the nose are perhaps seen as resulting in a nose profile which reminds them of the two joined arms of a compass with its points set wide apart. Broken noses appear to be nominated for people who live on the fringe of major settlements, to farmers and aristocratic type land owners who are Masons or bonded to the Masons. This suggests that the nose breaking began with the Knights Templar when they lived a quasi-monastic life in their castles outside of mainstream society. (Today, 2006, the nose breaking and the evil eye continue. Farmers who are bonded to the Masons often have severe breaks whereas aristocratic types have less severe breaks. Women and ethnic minority individuals who are bonded to the Masons are also sometimes given broken noses. Not everyone with a broken nose is bonded to the Masons, I want to point out. For example, actor Marlon Brando is well known for having a broken nose for part of his career. He received his broken nose while spar boxing during a break in the filming of a movie around the early 1960's and had it fixed for his 1978 role in the movie Superman. Similarly, the bending of the lip (something mentioned in an earlier post) displayed by early photos of singer and actor Elvis Presley does not indicate to me that he was bonded to the Masons, because he did not persist with it. It is likely that it was suggested to him by someone who was with the Masons.
Today the evil eye is performed using sunglasses with black lenses as a theatrical prop, to replace the hood over the head. This is especially so in warmer climates. The sunglasses give the sender of the evil eye anonymity similar to a hood. To heighten this theatrical effect the people in this Masonic mafia often have their ears surgically flattened to their heads so that when they do the evil eye head turn, the ears can hardly be seen, from the front view, similar to the way they would be concealed by a hood.)
The evil eye can also be used by these people to generate hatred between ethnic or geographically determined groups, by first penetrating one of the groups and then instructing members of that group to perform the evil eye against a neighbouring group, in a less intense way, likely without hood or sunglasses in less developed societies, dispersed over the other group generally rather than focusing on one individual at a time. (This has a parallel today even in our advanced societies, in the general display of sunglasses with black lenses, either on the face, or in the hair on top of the head, or hanging on the outside of a shirt pocket, or on the centre buttons of a shirt, or on the collar of a t-shirt, or in advertising. Individuals with this Masonic mafia wearing black sunglasses, often now, position themselves in the background when television news crews go onto the street to get a story. The wearer of the sunglasses will look straight into the camera as they walk by. When television cameras are taken to the forecourt of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome on prominent Christian religious days, it has become noticeable that someone in the crowd is wearing black sunglasses and they stare into the television camera, to display their presence. There may be complicity by the television camera crew in this. Now, more and more news people are bonding to the Masons. The quality of the news presented goes down greatly when this happens. In newspapers, as an accompaniment to the evil eye black sunglasses, the frequent appearance of photographs of people snapped [quickly photographed] while their mouth is in a circular shape, or open, such that it is close to being circular, is an indication that the photographer is bonded to the Masons. An example of these photographs can be seen on the last of the photograph pages in the book A Man of Honor: The Autobiography of Joseph Bonanno.)
Causing individuals to believe that they have psychic powers that they cannot control is another elaborate tactic of the Masons. It involves people who are bonded to the Masons who live close to the target individual establishing a conversational relationship, then telling the target false stories that cannot be easily verified, and making incidents happen. A deception has also been directed at people who have researched "the evil eye". The most prominent of these researchers (according to an internet search for the term "the evil eye") have been led to believe that the evil eye is folklore and that the people who believe in it believe that it is caused by envy of possessions or physical attractiveness and that a gaze of envy or admiration can cast a spell on the possessor of the object or the beauty.
This explanation of the evil eye is a cover story invented by the Masons, and one that also contributes to their tactic of driving people into depression because they believe they have psychic powers that they cannot control, leading them perhaps to suicide.
The tactic of arousing intense romantic love in a targeted individual relies on the actions of one person who is bonded to the Masons deceiving and setting up the target, making things easier than usual and very appealing overall, so as to make the deceiver the "object of affection" of the target. The objective of the Masons here, is to cause depression in the target when the relationship is ended, leading perhaps to suicide. There should not be surprise that ordinary people may be targeted in this way. The Masons at this time seem to be trying to acquire very wide control of our societies.
It may be that a way to detect such a deceiver is to notice a pattern, of closeness which after a time is followed by the deceiver needing to leave for some reason. The times when that person needs to leave may begin to look like conditions of employment, holidays or vacations from the operation. And the deceiver will most likely show the strain of having to act for long periods of time (although it may be low intensity acting). It may also be that the deceiver wants to develop the relationship rapidly and is not accepting of a more gradual development of the relationship.
