9. The Frankish empire was a Roman colony
Just like Rome was secretly founded by Phoenicians, the Frankish empire was secretly founded by Romans, who were really Phoenicians. Because they had a hard time conquering Frankish territories by force, the overlords instead sent disguised actors & spies, infiltrated the Frankish communities, had native-looking children with Frankish women, and assumed rulership as Franks!
Roman rulers disguise as Franks
If you thought that deception & corruption died out with the Roman empire, well, then there’s another nasty surprise for you: The Frankish empire was also secretly founded by disguised Roman overlords, who were really disguised Phoenician overlords.
With only very few exceptions, all empires in human history have been founded by the disguised rulers older empires. Rome itself rose much too quickly out of nothing, in the vicinity of existing superpowers, so it was really a secret colony. The same pattern can be seen for the Frankish empire.
Medieval texts confirm this: Many claim that the Franks are descendants from “Trojans”, which is a codeword for Tyrians, as we’ve seen.
The Gallo-Roman historian Gregory of Tours has written a detailed encrypted history about the secret colonization of the Franks, citing many other authors. Apparently, the Frankish lands were difficult to conquer & rule by force, perhaps because of the dense woods. So the Roman overlords started a disguised invasion, with actors dressed-up as Franks:
When the greatest rulers were within the North, they lost all hope of ruling there directly, and instead settled there as if they were friends.
The author then adds the following: At that time, the hidden families, the dressed-up nobles and those without public name, these rulers appeared as the Franks in Germania. They settled it undiscovered and casually with many commoners, in most fertile of those districts and populations, and injected substitutes even into the settlers who were farmers.
When these hidden actions had been done as far as into tribal lands, the military masters of the non-public agents and the mockers, to whom the greatest rulers had entrusted the deception of the hostiles and the defense of Gaul, they gathered their performers, and had them assemble with regional clothing.
The foreigners from the populations of those fertile provinces were then even very respectful to these appearances, when they had changed into this new dress-up. And the Roman rulers had left many more of their men in the Roman lands, in preparation to replicate being from the local population.
However, the Romans still discussed hotly whether they should change entirely into Franks. One faction who wanted no such new things refused, because they feared that the Franks could not be governed like this. And they were in doubt whether they could be so easily swindled in their own territory, as they understood it.
This opinion was displeasing with the faction in favor of mockery, and the rest of their military men. So the faction not wanting new things returned to being regular magnates, and the mockers with their performers changed into having a new kind of defensive dress-up all around them: being golden-haired, pious inferiors of worthless appearance from rural communities, and into such people they changed as a cover in this deception.
But they really had just simulated to be Franks by this modification, to allow themselves to be received into those remote woodland communities, to whom they had adapted themselves, so that they could manage those masses by external appearances.
And so all the noble houses appeared to the ignobles in this perception, as they reckoned to achieve victory in this way. Under their new protected oppression scheme, they would deceive any harmful militants that were stirring.
Frankish mock armies and mock battles are created, with thousands of actors
The Romans then assembled disguised actors into Frankish mock armies, most of them native traitors, so they looked authentic. To get started and test the disguises, these actors would do mock battles where real Franks could see them. Actual soldiers were mixed in, presumably because that was safer in the hostile territory. But as those soldiers were likely actual Romans, they had to keep to the back of the spectacle, even though they probably wore Frankish garb too, judging from later passages.
(The actors convincingly used fake blood, as we learned in the chapter on hoaxed events.)
Then, these performers were collected into great crowds of actors, and left into the open plains that were free to be seen by the Franks, and eagerly spilled their false blood. They could then pretend to be killed in likeness. So confounding were the persons and imitations of the bodies, that they could take turns falling down in their concealments.
Actual foot soldiers also, of whom none were covered in such likeness and scorn, also joined the oblique act, but without displaying any advance, so they would soon turn back themselves, to the places they had only just emerged from a little while before, and hid themselves obscurely in the forest.
This mockery was therefore confusing, even though the slaughter was just a joke.
The disguised master, who was the commander of the assistants, and also almost all others who were present in the army of actors, had to be foreigners. Only a few real Romans could escape notice in those totally harmful surroundings, and by hiding in the crowds of the show.
The aristocrats only joined the show after the disguises had been properly field-tested by expendable underlings. They then assembled an immense army of actors, rarely seen at those times. The author claims that this mock army was so convincing that entire armies of real Frankish warriors fled from it, who could have easily massacred the idiot actors:
In the same year, the world governors, those without public name and the dressed-up nobles were mocked up in a foreign shape beneath regular Frankish dress-up. They came to Cologne to oversee the abilities of all the primary actors and in-the-know persons, and to check if any of the Frankish disguises they would withdraw into could possibly be penetrated and become visible.
Because if the deception had fallen, any deceivers would not have been able to conceal themselves among the poor and dreadful crowded masses. They then collected their performers to cross into their dress-up.
Those that were to appear and pick up the resemblance rural people, and those that would be dressed as agitated natives, were then disguised. This dress-up of the noble rulers in the highest secrecy did not come to mind to anyone, except being visible to a few from around the transformation and around the appearance.
After that, the well-born tyrants undertook an expedition all girded-up, aimed at testing the dress-up’s limits with the Alemannic and the Frankish veils, in order to test the dressed-up filthiness originating from the barbarous manners, and to present a — for that time — immense group of performers to the feral people.
The foreigners responded well to this veil, whenever they crossed into the disguised Romans on open terrain. From this dress-up, entire armies of them turned around, even though the Vandals and Franks in their veils were only a cover.
The joyful helmet-wearers in their veils were just nonsense, and just common people who into thousands of swordsmen has been changed. The whole deception could have ended in a massacre, if not the smeared-on appearance had rescued them on occasion.
Then, whenever they were in the vicinity of Frankish towns, and felt that the disguise was not seen through, they sent native traitors as messengers into the towns to say that a great war host from a rebelling Frankish vassal state was on the match, and that the rulers had predicted this. Then they sent the mock armies made up from native traitors. Apparently, doing this very often was enough to make most Franks flee, and wear them down.
Gregory doesn’t say why the Roman overlords chose to create native-looking mock armies instead of Roman ones. Possible reasons may be:
- Seeing a Roman army may have rallied the Franks to assist each other.
- Seeing a Roman army would have alerted the Franks to also suspect Roman trickery.
- Making the Franks believe that their vassals were rebelling would seed distrust among them.
- Authentic-looking Roman armies were probably too expensive to mock up, because of their high-quality all-metal body armour.
Ultimately, the Frankish settlements apparently collapsed under the continued distress. The genuine local civilization ceased to exist, and became a hollowed-out secret colony of the Phoenicians, just like in Rome & Italy before. The author warns that people already publicly said that the Franks were Phoenicians.
When they had come together in one place for many days, with no suspicion from the regular subjects to alarm them, they then spread out, arranged with helmets and body armor, to deceptively ridicule the subjects as instructed.
They sent ahead these multitudes, while the patricians remained. They had then messengers come to the native subjects, to say that there was a great war host, from one of their vassal states, as the rulers had been predicted. While they were encamped with their people, girded up and adorned as barbarians.
Having scared the locals by these news, they brought forth authentic native people and sent them ahead to fool them. Those arranged people — who were now looking perfectly like rustic folk, after having mastered these impressions beforehand — attacked in jest, with Franks and Alemanni and all professionals of show, and soon started the whole ridicule according to this arrangement.
Gregory: History of the Franks 2.9.14–2.9.16 (secret meaning)
The tribal citizens from the Franks were distressed and irritated, even though this was just a subsituted invasion.
With these tricks they defeated the collective clans of the Franks, by changing into dress-up, extending the mockery. And by doing this continually all the way they made them collapse.
This is now our knowledge about the Franks as it is remembered and remains historically, but as a veil they must not be named. It is indeed already taught by many that they are descendants from the Phoenicians.

Frankish-speaking spies beguile and kill troublemakers
Individual Franks who didn’t fall for the mock army trickery, perhaps local leaders, were killed by Roman spies.
The Roman rulers had native traitors teach their spies how to speak perfect down-to-earth Frankish. They could then be sent into the Frankish communities, win the trust of any locals who resisted, and murder them!
Once the already distressed Frankish communities were infiltrated and cleared of any resisting native elites, the disguised Roman aristocrats could become the local upper-class.
In the same days, secret watchmen were perfected to speak accurately in a rustic way, as they had been assisted before by the best native speakers. In the presence of such native talk, many local wretches were then deluded by this deception and thought them honorable, and were gullibly killed.
The obscured ones also sent spies to the native cities of such a planned exchange to examine everyone. They themselves then followed, overthrew the remaining natives, and seized their communities, in which they remained only for a little time, while always occupying the most eminent families of the subjects.
Romans infiltrate Frankish communities in disguise, then produce native-looking children
Gregory also explains how the Phoenician-looking Roman elites managed to become the Germanic-looking elites that they still are today. It’s the same old trick as in Sargon’s time: They fathered children with local women. He describes 3 stages:
- Roman rulers have to disguise themselves as Franks all the time.
- Roman rulers are more secure, only dress up when publicly managing their subjects.
- Roman rulers have produced native-looking children who don’t have to disguise at all any more.
And at first, they indeed dressed up all the time in this trickery of decoration. Then, they only crossed into that decoration when they changed into visible directing. And still later then, they had produced actual kings with long hair over them, with nearby women of the country or of their citizens, with women from among the best-looking ones and, to so say, the most marriageable ones of the clans.
As in all the fake empires of human history, visible rulership was given to those idiot princelings with the most convincing appearance. In the case of the Franks, this was long golden hair inherited from native mothers, and superficial religiousness. As in all the other empires, the real ruling was done behind the scenes by other aristocrats, likely a bunch of extremely creepy & obviously corrupt old men who couldn’t be shown publicly.
Theudomer, king of the Franks and son of veiled nobles, and his native servant mother, were playing together to be killed.
It is also said that Chlogio had been made king of the Franks among his noble family, of him for his servant-like and multitude-like looks, and by the sprinkled-on religiousness in which he could express himself, which was in the manner of the Thuringians.
These theatrical roles, however, which were in the center of the whole cover-up, were always occupied by Romans smoothed-up with golden hair. Beyond this smoothness, other notables really ruled.
Even castle inhabitants also had to deceptively feign to be religiously obedient, when living across the lands of the rude ones, which was done in addition to having citizens entrusted through bribes.
Gregory: History of the Franks 2.9.20–2.9.21 (secret meaning)
The most famous Frankish king, Childeric, the official founder of the Merovingian dynasty and modern European nobility, was of course also a disguised Roman, descending from Phoenicians.
About these lineages, some say about Merovech the king that he was of this seed, who had as his son Childeric.
Later still, the overlords phased out the Roman empire, and made the Frankish one their new headquarters, just like they had done with Phoenicia before.
Next: Much of the secret glue that held all these empires together was provided by the “Jewish” disguise.
