THE TEST
“I am here to have this talk with you, Mr. Brad, in a less than usual way and under special circumstances,” said the venerable Massini, getting straight to the point.
“In our view, people belong to one of two categories: those who can be manipulated and led around — and the great majority belong to this category — and those who have certain virtues, are gifted with certain powers and have a very strong personality.”
“I shall interrupt for a short clarification,” Cezar interjected in apparent naivete. “Whose opinion do you actually represent here?”
Signore Massini gave a large smile, slowly leaning back in his chair. His whole attitude was the expression of the proud conscience of an invincible power.
“Mr. Brad, you are a young man in the prime of your life holding a position that is paradoxically a dungeon for civil liberties, but that at the same time gives you the satisfaction of knowing and looking into things about which almost nobody knows anything. Such a position is difficult to attain because it requires assurance of remarkable inner abilities.”
“Thank you,” Cezar said amiably but cautiously.
“And yet, even to a very well endowed person like you, a great many things remain unknown, and some of these can be extremely attractive. The group I represent, and on whose behalf I have come here today, is part of the highest Masonic order and highly interested in the outcome of our talks.”
“I am aware of some things about Freemasonry,” said Cezar. “The organization is built on a pyramidal hierarchy, has very occult initiation rituals, and its real intentions are obscure to most people.”
“For the two sentences you have just uttered, not even I could have done better, my dear!” said Massini, giving a superior and slightly ironic laugh. “I am a master of the the most powerful Masonic lodge in the world; and while this must remain a well-kept secret to most, it would be superfluous to keep it from you because the issue I want to talk with you about goes way beyond the importance of my occult position. On the contrary, it is absolutely necessary that you know with whom you are talking from the very beginning.”
In giving his account of the meeting, Cezar told me that this was the precise moment when he realized what the purpose of Massini’s visit was as well as the way in which the meeting was to proceed. At that moment, he also knew what he would do next and what strategy to employ in order to learn and understand as much as possible about the twists and turns of the Freemason organization. In fact, this was to be a battle of wits between the two where a lot of giving and taking was to take place, all of which had to be carefully orchestrated, because the forces at play — and the consequences that could follow — were huge.
At first, Cezar set himself the goal of exploring a territory where he had already noticed a weakness on the part of Massini: his self-pride and an inflated ego, both of which could strategically diminish his vigilance and inner strength.
“Therefore, your position in the lodge is one of the highest. I know that the hierarchy follows the thirty-three so-called degrees.
“The Bilderberg Group is not exactly a lodge. It is a lot more than that, but I will not go into details now. Indee, at lodge level, hierarchy follows these thirty-three degrees and promotion must meet clear requirements. You should also know these degrees are a sort of facade. Real power goes way beyond the thirty-three hierarchical degrees and involves other requirements that I can tell you about, but only under certain circumstances. It is up to you alone to be open to such a situation.
“Imagine a big house. In order for it to look as nice as possible, it must be painted elegantly with great care for details. By way of analogy, these would be the initiation levels. Most of the riches and the biggest secrets, however, are inside the house, unseen and unknown but to the masters of the house, who are very few in number and act as the power behind the smooth operation of the entire building, its maintenance, administration and prosperity.
“In order for this to happen, they need not be known by the other people, nor must their ways and means be known You are an intelligent man and you can easily understand what I mean.”
Cezar had noted that Signore Massini’s turn of phrase had gradually moved to a more familiar and straightforward tone. That could be an advantage, because familiarity in discussion could breed the disclosure of many secrets. The age gap between the two obviously contributed to that kind of tone. Undoubtedly, the venerable Massini displayed great vital strength and an unusual psychic force in stark contrast to his respectable age. Unfortunately, his subtle radiation, whereby the venerable one could dominate ordinary human beings, was gathered around his immense self-pride, arrogance and a feeling of superiority — perhaps justified by his noble bloodline. That is why, regardless of Cezar’s merits and good references, which one could assume were well known to the elite of the Bilderberg Group, Massini could not restrain his self-pride.
“We have requested this meeting using our power and connections because we are fully aware of your power and abilities, which we consider very valuable, particularly if they serve our interests.”
In saying that, the venerable one made the first important move in the game between the two. As will be noted, however, the wheeling and dealing was to prove a lot more complicated than a simple and relatively indirect proposal for cooperation at the highest Masonic level.
“Mr. Massini, if I am to understand anything in particular, and if the problem is to be approached in a specific manner, then please say so from the very beginning. For instance, what is the main reason for which you want me to be a member of the Bilderberg Group?”
Signore Massini’s attitude turned suddenly cold and his voice took on a very grave undertone.
“Is this really a problem for you, Mr. Brad? Do you imagine you are free to choose or set conditions? And who said you would become a member of the Bilderberg Group? Do you have any idea who its members are and what the access criteria are at that level? You are far away from this hierarchical position; and moreover, you will never be able to be part of the group’s close circles for reasons which, if I told you, would leaveyou utterly mystified. They are not part of this world. Therefore, please come back to more mundane ideas and understand that the proposal I have made concerns your becoming a member of one of the highest Masonic lodges in the world directly subordinate to the Bilderberg Group.
“Our organization could use your special contribution. the fact that I myself have come here to have this private talk with you will make you understand we very much value you. From the information we have, I must admit, your powers and abilities are impressive. As I was telling you, we are interested in cooperating with you.
“There is a secret council at the level of this lodge that makes proposals for the main lines for action in the world, which the Bilderberg Group then assess. It works like a sort of feedback loop. You could be an important driving force in that council, and you could acquire anything you have ever dreamed of in this world and rule over everything you want: wealth, people, luxury, laws, and even governments. Nothing could stop you.
“We do not negotiate, because what we offer is huge. What would be the point in having any other useless discussions when things are so clear? And to be honest, there is no other option for you but to take our offer.”
In saying that with unflinching self-confidence, Massini made a slicing motion with his hand. Another man might have been intimidated and even bewildered by the threatening turn the conversation had taken and by the prospect of wealth and influence. Cezar told me that had been a turning point of the meeting.
Complex though it appeared, the problem had only two obvious solutions: either he accepted the offer, which meant joining the Masonic organization and rapid promotion to its highest levels, or he could turn it down, which would have triggered an unpredictable chain of adverse consequences — both for himself and for the activity of Department Zero.
At that moment, Cezar was not aware of the main data on Freemasonry’s topmost interests, but he was very interested to find out about them so as to understand the motivations of this worldwide organization and the ways and means whereby it attained its goals.
The circumstances seemed favorable to him and the discussion had gotten to a point where, step by step, he could steer it towards what he was interested in. He would do this by whetting Signore Massini’s appetite for control. The task, however, was not at all easy, because the venerable one was a very shrewd interlocutor.
Cezar had the intuition that if he had turned down the proposal right away, the game woud have been over and Signore Massini would have left without any plea for reconsideration. Cezar would not have had the chance to find out anything more, and the consequences of his refusal would have been unpredictable. He therefore made the decision to deceive Massini’s vigilance and, under cover of acceptance, learn as much as possible about the behind-the-scenes dealings of worldwide Freemasonry. From a certain perspective, he then took on the role of an infiltrator, but he felt confident in his ability to deal with any difficulties that might have arisen. (pp. 117-122)
