Beyond Weird

I check into Christina every month or so. This is her latest video. I watched it today with mouth open wide.

What?

Was it yesterday that I wrote about the Black Madonna?

Early this morning I double-checked an idea I had that connected the Black Madonna/Black Virgin with the Cathars.

In March 2019 I started a series of articles on the Cathars.

THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE CATHARS – PART ONE

The Hidden History of the Cathars

Greta Brookes

This article is based partly on the New Chronology[1]and also my own extensive research into 17^th Europe.

It will examine:

The “official histories” of the Cathars and the Albigensian Crusade of the 13^th century,
What exactly was happening in Europe in the 17^th
The connections between both of these eras and events.

The Cathars and the Albigensian Crusade.

We have been told that the Cathars (Cathari) were a Christian religious sect based mainly in the south of France during the 12^th and 13^th centuries and that their heretical practises were so offensive to the Church of Rome and all other good citizens of Europe that they had to be exterminated in a Christian Crusade. Their heresy was dualism. The belief that two principles lie at the root of everything – Good and Evil.

July 1209 – Arnaud Amalric: “Kill them all. God will know his own.”

The four main Cathar dioceses in Southern France were Agen, Albi, Carcassonne and Toulouse and the main castles were at Carcassonne, Montsegur, Queribus, Puylaurens, Roquefixade, Peyrepertuse, Termes and Puivert. This whole area of France is known as the Languedoc or Roussillon

Peyrepertuse

Roquefixade

If you don’t know about the Cathars and the Albigensian Crusades there are mega-tons of information out there but for a quick “official” starter there is WikiWhatever.

Europe in the 17^th Century

From the end of the 16^th century and rolling deep into the 17^th, the history of Europe is full of turmoil. The Reformation, Continent-wide Wars, Civil Wars, massacres, regicide, executions. For example:

St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, Paris – 1572
Murder of Henri IV, King of France, Paris – 1610
The Time of Troubles, Russia and establishment of Romanov rule – 1613
Start of the Thirty Years War, Europe – 1618 or before
The Defenestration of Prague – 1618
Richelieu unites Catholic France with the Protestant Swedes thereby bringing France into the Thirty Years War – 1629
Henri II, Duc de Montmorency executed, France – 1632
The Wars of Three Kingdoms – England, Scotland, Ireland begins – 1639
The Fronde Civil Wars in France begin – 1648
King Charles I of England executed – 1649
Ottoman war against Hapsburg Hungary – 1663
Second Anglo-Dutch War – 1665
Russian-Turkish Wars begin -1676

The complete list is very long. Here is just a fraction of the timeline to show the general climate of Europe at this time.

What does any of this 17^th Century stuff have to do with the Cathars?

If you are familiar with New Chronology (NC) you will know that, for the past 40 years plus, a team of Russian mathematicians have been doing in depth investigations into the hiding, editing and re-arranging of the history that we have all been taught.

I will explain no more about their work here other than to say that it consists of many thousands of pages and is worth investigating.

Okay. That said, NC research suggests that the annihilation of the Cathars did not take place in the 13^th century as we have been told. It actually happened in the 17^th century.

From a personal point of view, this makes sense. I have spent many years steeped in 17^th century Europe in order to write a fictional account of the life and times of Marie de Rohan, and I may have completely rejected the NC version of Cathar history if not for Henri II, Duc de Montmorency, a close friend of Marie’s. I have put him in the timeline above for reasons that will become clear later.

What is the Hidden History of the Cathars?

It is interesting to note that “Cathar” is a name imposed by outsiders on this religious group. They only ever called themselves “Christians” or “Good Christians.” Bons chrétiens.

It is equally interesting to know that the Cathars of Northern France and elsewhere were called Bulgares. That is, Slavs from the Volga Region.

Locations of Cathars in Europe

As the map above shows, Cathars were not confined to the Languedoc in the South of France but they were spread across the continent of Europe and also Africa and America amongst many other lands. It is not inconceivable, therefore, that the true origins of the Bons chrétiens, is linked with the Horde/Great/Tartarian Empire (also known as Scythians) which expanded across most of the world during the 13^th to 15^th centuries. This can be amply illustrated by looking at their crosses and their flags.
