Review and Critique of the film 'Esoteric Agenda'
by Keith Thompson
The creator of the film is Ben Stewart. The film has good visual effects and imagery in many cases and also a fairly decent soundtrack. Ben seemingly seeks to expose the new world order, which is a good thing; however right off the bat he speaks about the new age and bonding with nature. I quickly realized that this is another new age zeitgeist type film.
After the intro and an explanation of symbolism, the film embraces the 2012 theories. The type of rhetoric Ben spouts is just a rehash of Michael Tsarion, Jordan Maxwell, and Zechariah Stitchin. My friend Chris White of www.zeitgeistchallenge.com has debunked the 2012 hysteria already here. The 2012 stuff is merely meant to get you to accept the new age of Aquarius that is supposedly approaching. This age is when the Theosophists and Freemasons intend to create a world system (new world order). Why then do so many people promote this new age? After proclaiming that we are in the age of Pisces and that the new age of Aquarius is going to be a great age of consciousness; he dives into attacking religion and claiming Christianity, Islam and Judaism merely replaced pagan religions that focus on astrology. Things to note thus far:
- Ben supports the new age of Aquarius and happily awaits it just like Freemasonry, Theosophy and intern, the new world order.
- Ben supports the occult operatives who externalize this information such as Tsarion and Maxwell.
He elaborates on his supposed evidence for pagan roots later. Next Ben examines the Illuminati which was founded in 1776. It is common to mix truth with lies. This trend is ramped with zeitgeist and the fake controlled occult new world order researchers in order to persuade you that they are against the pagan new world order, but really they advocate the same thing. Ben doesn't even get the Illuminati information correct though. He makes astounding claims but does not support them with documentation. He probably found them on a shoddy website. Ben states, "Rothschild instructed Weishaupt to create the ancient Illuminated sears of Bavaria, this is better known as order of the Illuminati." This claim is factually incorrect. Amcel Rothschild was a later member of the Illuminati and never instructed Weishaupt to create the order. Adam even bragged, "These people swell our numbers and fill our treasury, get busy and make these people nibble at our bait." It was Adam who inducted the Rothschild's and not vice versa. There is no evidence for Ben's claim. He has to lay that shoddy ground work though in order to persuade the viewer that the Illuminati pre-dates 1776 and thus created Christianity in it's previous bloodline. This is strictly fantasy and not supported by evidence however. Ben even quotes Nesta Webster who refutes his position. He quoted her saying, "People with money were welcomed but kept oblivious of actual secrets." Another inaccurate statement made by Ben is that he claims the congress of Wilhemsbad was in 1781. However it was held in July 16, 1782.
Next the film claims that circumcision, baptism, weddings, wedding rings, funerals, and the Holy grail are Pagan rituals; but provides no documentation or meaningful argumentation as to why he feels there is causality here. This type of rhetoric is problematic for anyone seeking truth and evidence. Sounds like he is repeating one of Jordan Maxwell's lectures perhaps. Until and unless Ben provides evidence for these assertions, he has not made an argument worth consideration.
Next he goes into word semantics. Ben claims that the name of the Egyptian God "Amun-Ra" developed into the word "Amen" at the end of a prayer. However "Amen" is Hebrew for "so be it". Our English translation is only similar to the English translation of the Egyptian word Amun. The Hebrew for "Amen" however is "אמן", and is pronounced 'aw-mane'. Amun is English reconstructed Egyptian "Yamānu." As you can see there is no connection. These people seem to think the Egyptians and Jews spoke English.
Another error is that Ben claims Israel is a word combination of the God's Isis (Is), Ra (ra), and El (el) spelling Israel. This poor argument comes from the Theosophist Jordan Maxwell. The problem is "Isis" is a reconstruction of her Egyptian name. The correct pronunciation of her name is "-uesat". Isis was not pronounced "Is-is" in ancient Egypt. That pronunciation comes from Greek and Coptic, languages that comes centuries after Hebrew. This is enough evidence to show how incorrect Ben is. Either Ben blindly repeats Maxwell's bad research, or he is lying to the viewer.
Next the film goes into some factual information of the global political structure that is striving for a one world government; but Ben shows a lecture of Michael Tsarion. A new age operative who defends H.P. Blavatsky, her Theosophy, and the Freemason Alister Crowley. Tsarion is also one of the main proponents, if not the main proponent of 'Astrotheology' which has been shredded to pieces in my film 'Zeitgeist Part One Exposed: The film.' Ben plays a clip of Tsarion saying, "They (the new world order) know all about astrology and the divination that we forgot...We don't know about the higher time to rule our own lives by." Here Tsarion is advocating that we all become new age astrologers. Intern Ben is advocating the same thing.
Next Ben asserts that the Illuminati can be traced back before 1776 but provides no evidence. He then asserts that the word "Nazi" is the name of one of the Anu Naki children in Sumerian texts. However Nazi is the short rendering of 'The National Socialist German Worker's Party. In German it's 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.' They called themselves Nazi's because the former was too long to always pronounce. This is poor evidence to try and trace the new world order before 1776. Ben mentions how the Nazi commander Heinrich Himmler was an occultist who read "ostara" by Adolf Josef Lanz (July 19, 1874 - April 22, 1954), a follower of Theosophy. Ostara promoted racial struggle and ethnic cleansing. Ben also talks about the Swastikas meaning. However Ben covers up the root source of these things. It is actually traced back to H.P. Blavatsky, the Satanic founder of Theosophy. She taught that the most powerful esoteric symbol was the Swastika. She claimed there were seven stages of human evolution; she called them “route races”. In Blavatsky’s teachings the Swastika was the symbol of the Aryan race. She was the founder of the 'perfect race' ideology, not Adolf Josef Lanz. Why would Ben cover up the true source of these ideas? The reason is because his other sources like Maxwell and Tsarion stole all of their esoteric information from Blavatsky and if Ben exposed Blavatsky, he would be exposing himself on how he follows the new age taught by Theosophy. Simple deception. In other words, Ben covered up Blavatsky as the root source because he and his sources support her information regarding the new age and the supposed esoteric meaning of the bible.
Ben tries to connect the Knights Templar to the Illuminati but with little success. He only offers assertions and therefor fails to prove that the Illuminati pre-dates 1776. But he has to do this in order for his other claims to make sense regarding the supposed Pagan relation to Christianity. Ben then admits that the new world order is Pagan and involved with mystery religions. But in the same breath he promotes the new age as if it is a positive thing. What he doesn't realize is that this supposed new age is engineered by the new world order and can easily be traced to Theosophy and 19Th century Freemasonry. These people are master deceivers and intend on bringing forth a world system for the new age of Aquarius under their Maitreya (world teacher). Yet Ben somehow believes that this new age is a good thing. Indeed, he is confused.
Much like Acharya S, Jordan Maxwell and Tsarion, Ben Stewart makes astonishing claims without supporting them with evidence. This is extremely troublesome and only makes the rest of the credible anti-nwo movement seem uncredible. I would advise Ben Stewart to not make any more films or publications unless he sources his material properly.
At around 1:11:00 of the film Ben glorifies William Cooper who I often cite in my work and exchanges. This angered me a lot because Bill was against what the film promotes in the new age and esoteric view of the bible and Christianity. Bill was a proud Christian. I was appalled to see Ben putting Bill in his film. Bill would not approve of this. Cooper even confronted Jordan Maxwell on his radio show about the supposed origin of Christianity. Bill made Jordan admit that Pagans later distorted Christianity in art but never founded the religion. Maxwell agreed.
Next Ben shows that he has no grasp on reality he states:
"The true history of this planet has been stifled from the top down. Since the inception of monotheism and the ridicule as well as outlaw in specific cultures of all Pagan religions and practices, a lie has been forced upon all civilizations. You have to wonder why powerful empires were threatened enough by Paganism to make the practice of such religions punishable by death. This threat didn't end during the Roman Empire..."
Ben seems to think that Paganism is not only true but that the Roman Empire was threatened by it. However the Roman Empire was Pagan! With their Paganism they wanted the world conquered. For the first 300 years of Christian history the empire was threatened, not by Paganism, but by Christianity; and the empire lead the most vicious slaughter upon Christians during that time. Ben seems to have no grasp on reality.
Ben claims to be against the "esoteric agenda" but he promotes and advocates the views of esoteric teachers such as Blavatsky, Hall, Bailey and Freemasonry's new age of Aquarius that is supported by the UN. This is simply reverse psychological propaganda and to add to the deception, he claims that monotheism is part of the esoteric agenda. Just the opposite is true. Monotheism pre-dates esotericism. Esotericism seeks to re-interpret ancient texts and beliefs. That's what esotericists do.
The last twenty minutes of the film is all new age solution and new age religion. Ben states:
"When you understand that there is a common spiritual bond between all things in the universe, and that we are all part of one divine intelligence; no phenomena is unexplainable. This simple understanding fills all the holes in modern religions... This means that consciousness shapes our reality."
Now notice how similar what Ben said is to what Randall N Baer said the new world order goals are:
"This agenda is nothing less than the complete revolutionizing of the very foundations of not only America but the entire world. Such a plan calls for the total restructuring of planetary civilization into an enlightened One World Federation in which national boundaries and sovereignty are secondary, and 'planetary citizenship' in the 'global village' is the order of the day."
Randall N Baer was murdered for speaking out against the Pagan nature of the new world order. A clear proof that this film is part of the esoteric agenda of the new world order is the following quote from Ben. He states:
"Traditions that were passed on through shamans, witch doctors, magicians, psychics and sears of all kind, became outlawed and ridiculed and given a stigma of something out of a Hollywood movie. Every religion explains that we are children of God and have Godliness inside of us. If you erase the anthropromorphized God and understand that God is nothing more the spiritual web that connects all things; all religious scriptures begin to make much more sense."
That is what esotericism is! It is looking at scriptures and re-interpreting them in a metaphorical way. This is what Theosophy teaches. This is what Freemasonry believes. This is the new world order new age religion. That is the deception being externalized today in many films and by many occult operatives.
So in short I have come to the conclusion that Ben Stewart is either badly deceived or is promoting the new world religion run by the elite. The esoteric view of Christianity is what is full of holes, not the real teachings in the Bible. In time everyone including Ben will see this to be true.
