Pike
In his official imprimatur, Cardinal Caro Rodriguez made reference to certain letters attributed to Albert Pike and addressed to Mazzini. To quote,
In ‘The Cause of World Unrest,’18 I read a letter attributed by Le Diable
AUXIX Siecle to Albert Pike, in which the author exposes to Mazzini the plan of attack upon Catholicism in Italy, to make it seek its last refuge in Russia. At the end of the letter he says: “Therefore when the autocratic empire of Russia will have become the citadel of Papal Christianity (Papist Adonaism), we shall unchain the Nihilist and Atheistic revolutionaries, and we shall provoke a formidable cataclysm, which will show clearly to the nations, in all its horror, the effect of absolute heresy, mother of savagery, and the most bloody disorder. Then citizens everywhere obliged to defend themselves against an enraged minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude- disillusioned with Christianity whose deistic spirit will be from that moment on without direction and anxious for an ideal- without knowing where to put their worship will receive the true Light, by means of the Universal manifestation of the pure Luciferian doctrine finally made public; a manifestation which will raise a general movement of reaction, which will follow the destruction of Atheism and Christianity, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” If this letter is not authentic, it is in part at least a prophecy which has prevailed since 1896, twenty years before the Revolution of the anarchists and atheists were unloosed on Russia, not in any way proposed by the Grand Sovereign Mason because the Papacy is not so easily moved as kings or revolutionaries have imagined.19
At another place, the Cardinal is quoted as follows,

The other indication of the participation of Masonry in the Revolution and the present upheaval in Russia is a letter in “LE DIABLE AU XIX SIECLE” (1896), Attributed to Albert Pike “Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Masonry,” assisted by ten Ancients of the Grand Lodge of the Supreme Orient of Charleston to the very illustrious Joseph Mazzini, dated August 15th 1871 [….] It’s publication is catalogued in
the British Museum of London and the plan attributed to Pike is also in part in ‘LE PALLADISME’ OF MARGIOTTA,” p. 186 published in 1895.20 It is a plan to destroy Catholicism, to throw the Pope out of
Italy and force him to seek refuge in Russia; and then, when the autocratic empire has become the citadel of Papal Christianity, “we,” continues the author of the letter, “shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effects of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the TRUE LIGHT through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”21 Pike was a Luciferian.
The part of the plan relative to the Papacy has failed, as on many other historic occasions, the plans and intentions of human power against the Pope have failed. As to the sad realization of the second part, namely, the “FORMIDABLE SOCIAL CATACLYSM,” no one in our time can ignore it.22
Cardinal Rodriguez obviously mistook the First World War, unfolding during his time, as the social cataclysm. But Pike’s quote alludes to the Second World War, the Third World War and it’s aftermath as well.

One of the sources Cardinal Rodriguez referred to was Nesta Webster. I have obtained the exact quote from Nesta Webster’s book, The Cause of World Unrest,
In the year 1896, there appeared in Paris a curious publication called
Le Diable au XIX Siecle. It was an attack upon Freemasonry and came
out in parts, illustrated with grotesque and repulsive engravings. The name on the title page is Dr. Bataille, but it is stated in the British Museum Catalogue that the real authors were Gabriel Jogand-Pages and Charles Hacks [This is the same British Museum which would later deny the very existence of this letter to William Guy Carr]. The book with evident knowledge and a show of authority, set out to trace the connection between Freemasonry and revolutions, but its sensationalism and the extremely doubtful character of some of the documents produced brought it into disrepute. It is now forgotten, and yet it contains a good deal that can be verified from other sources, and some things also which seem to be verified by recent events. In particular, there is a letter –or an alleged letter –said to have been written by Albert Pike, the “Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry,” assisted by ten ancients of the Grand Lodge of the Supreme Orient at Charleston, to “the very illustrious brother” Giuseppe Mazzini. This letter is dated (in Masonic style) August 15th
1871, and sets forth an anti-clerical policy which Mazzini is to follow in Italy. The measures proposed, including secular education, the expulsion of the religious orders, and so forth, need not detain us. What is our purpose occurs towards the end of the letter, on page 605 (Vol.II). The writer explains that owing to the working out of this policy the Pope may be driven at some future time out of Italy, and that established religion will then find its last refuge in Russia. And the letter proceeds:
“That is why when the autocratic Empire of Russia will have become the citadel of Papal Christianity (adonaisme papiste), we shall unchain the revolutionary Nihilists and Athiests, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm, which will demonstrate clearly to the nations, in all its horror, the effect of absolute unbelief, mother of savagery and the most bloody disorder. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the mad minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate these destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned of Christianity, whose deist soul will up to that moment be without compass, thirsting for an ideal, but not knowing where to bestow their worship, will receive the True Light by the universal manifestation of the pure Luciferian doctrine, at last made public, a manifestation which will arise from the general movement of reaction following the destruction of Atheism and Christianity, both at the same time, vanquished and exterminated.”
Now this letter is at least as old as 1896 (if it is a forgery); If it is genuine, it is as old as 1871. It must therefore be considered remarkable, whether as a forgery or as a genuine document. For it predicts what has happened in Russia, and it claims for its authors that they were preparing to bring about what has happened.23
The content of the letter in question pertaining to the World Wars ran as follows:
The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.
The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.
The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration,

will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement, which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
Carr’s source for these quotes was either the imprimatur of Cardinal Rodriguez or some other material the Cardinal directed him to. He was not able to ascertain the source said to be in the British Museum. To quote a footnote from the same book,
The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT catalogued in the British Museum Library. It seems strange that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925.24
Carr included his own commentary on the letter in question. To quote,
After three global wars and two major revolutions, the United States would remain the only world power, but, during the third revolution which Pike said would be the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known, the United States was to be disintegrated by internal treachery, and fall into the hands of the Luciferian conspirators “Like over-ripe fruit.” Pike set forth quite clearly that World War One was to enable the directors of the W.R.M. [World Revolutionary Movement] to subjugate Russia and turn that Empire into the stronghold of atheistic-communism. This was accomplished with the first major revolution in 1917. Communism and Nazism were to be used, together with anti-Semitism, to enable the directors of the W.R.M. to foment World War Two. This was to end with the destruction of Nazism as a world power, because it would, by then, have served its purpose. The Sovereign State of Israel was to result from World War Two, as was also the United Nations. Political Zionism was to be used to enable the directors of the W.R.M. to foment World War Three, by playing up the real and supposed differences between Israel and the Arab states.25
Juri Lina drew upon another source in a 2004 book. This source was mentioned by Cardinal Rodriguez and refers to the historian Domenico Margiotta. To quote:
Pike wrote a letter to Giuseppe Mazzini (whose alias was Emunach Memed), dated 15 August 1871 (or as he wrote it 0871). The historian
24 William Guy Carr, Satan, Prince of This World (Omni Publications, 1997) 22 note 9. 25 William Guy Carr, Satan, Prince of This World (Omni Publications, 1997) 84.
Domenico Margiotta published the letter in his book "Le Palladisme: Culte de Satan-Lucifer" ("Palladism: Cult of Satan-Lucifer", Grenoble, 1895, p. 186).
The inherent antagonism between different ideologies was to be stirred up and made to explode in three world wars and three revolutions. The First World War was to destroy the three European empires, at that time being the last remaining bulwarks against illuminism. One of these (Russia) was to be made a centre of atheist totalitarianism (communism). The Second World War was to erupt from heightened tensions between the Jewish race (and its spiteful Zionism) and extreme European nationalism (nazism and fascism). This war would weaken Europe economically and politically and communism would expand and become as strong as all Christianity, but not stronger, until the time was ripe for the final destruction of all society. A third reason for the Second World War was to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Gradually, it would be possible thereby to heighten the tensions between Judaism and Islam until it broke out in a war, which would involve all of the world powers. The three revolutions, which would aid this carefully planned dissolution of all human civilization, were the Russian, the Chinese and the Indo-Chinese.
Someone seems to have implemented most of this evil scheme, despite the fact that it was announced as early as 1895. Concerning the last stage, General Pike wrote the following: "We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists and provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment on be without compass (direction), anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." Atheist communism was suddenly abolished in the Soviet Union in 1991 as part of the effort to expand the European Union - the most sinister of masonic projects, which will lead to the forming of the United States of Europe, the dream of Giuseppe Mazzini.26

The attribution to Albert Pike cannot be verified, until new evidence emerges. Nevertheless, the sources of Cardinal Rodriguez (leaving aside the British Museum) pre-date World War II. Nesta Webster’s ‘The Cause of World Unrest’ was published in 1920, after World War I. Domenico Margiotta’s ‘Palladism: Cult of Satan-Lucifer,’ was published in 1895, long before World War I. To quote Cardinal Rodriguez, “[…] Authentic or not, the letter had been published [or written] long enough before the events, not to be an invention accommodated POST FACTUM.”27
Some text from the “letter” has been used in this book because it aptly summarizes the creation, unfolding and outcome of the World Wars.
