In 1120, Christian knights had just captured Jerusalem in the First Crusade. But even while the holy city was safe, the pilgrimage routes to get there were not. Travellers were routinely attacked, robbed and even killed.

A handful of knights took monastic vows and devoted themselves to protecting the pilgrims and their routes. In return, the king of Jerusalem gave them headquarters on the Temple Mount. The Knights Templar was born and they were soon world-renowned for their courage.

Goal was to retake the Holy Land / Jerusalem from the Moslems. Pilgrims followed in the wake…although some made the pilgrimage even during Moslem occupation. There are some fascinating books on the topic, just be sure you find the ones written pre-1960.

Books by Runciman (forgot first name) are excellent. Written in 70s and 80s, but not "tainted."

A History of the Crusades: The First Crusade and the Foundations of the Kingdom of Jerusalem

Good starting point. But Hodge isn't a historian, she's got a degree in fine arts. I prefer to read authors who are heavy duty experts on particular topics, and who wrote in the years prior to the cultural marxist infiltration of history telling.

Q's drop really didn't tell us anything we didn't already know / suspect. Just confirmed that our gut instincts have been correct – the cabal has been scrubbing real history and replacing it with propaganda.

Not disagreeing with you anon, it's on my bookshelf and is a basic reference resource. But I wanted to dig deeper, and broader, and so headed for other authors.

>true, just bringing it up in that contex

And we've got so damn many newbs flooding this place now, it's an essential point to keep highlighting. Got people in my IRL network I'm trying to drill this into.

Anything by Malcolm Barber. British historian, considered the world expert on the KT.

Also, just found this (and ordered it for myself)

Knight Templar (Warrior Series)

Helen Nicholson (2004)

https://www.amazon.com/Knight-Templar-Warrior-Helen-Nicholson/dp/1841766704

It's short (under 100 pages), but gives specific on their formation, training, daily life. And has an excellent bibliography (Barber's books are included). Under $10 used

Totally agree anon. Thanks for the tips. A dig on "symbolic communication" also yields a lot of good info.

Interdasting, thanks!

>symbols are not easily understood unless put into context, the bigger the context the more accurate understanding of the symbol

Exactly! And that's why reading history is so important. Gotta' have the context. Not all symbols are "bad" or "evil." It's how they're used, who's using them, and for what purpose. Cabal hijacks them for their own purpose, mirrors them.

Trump's approach is to work with the best person available at the given time, even if not ideal. I trust Trump, so I'd hold my nose and vote.
