Who are the Basques

                                           Who are the Basques

                                                     By: Armand Reneu

The Basques are a group of people living in the area of northern Spain and southern France. The Basques are a distinct ethnic group, although they have genetic similarities to many Portuguese, Britons, French, Irish, and Spaniards.

The modern-day Basques are thought to be holdouts of the early people of Western Europe, most of whom were exterminated or enveloped by early conquerors. Various Basque tribes, notably the Aquitani and Vascones, were mentioned by Roman writers. The Basque region was known as Vasconia during the Middle Ages, and was eventually divided during the time of Charlemagne into two distinct kingdoms, the Kingdom of Pamplona and the Kingdom of Castille. The Kingdom of Castille annexed a great deal of the Basque territory from the 11th to 16th centuries, and this land eventually became a part of Spain. The rest of the Basque territory would become part of France.

The Basques are fiercely self-deterministic, and many are part of a movement claiming sovereignty throughout the Basque region. The Basques speak their own language, have their own radio and newspapers, have their own educational system, and continue to embrace a culture spanning thousands of years.

During the Spanish Civil War, the Basques joined in with the Separatist movements, hoping to at last have total autonomy. When Franco defeated the Separatists, however, the Basques were reassimilated into the Spanish government. Since then, however, a number of reforms have taken place, granting the Basques steadily more and more autonomy, even while they remain a part of Spain and France. The Basques have been granted the right to speak Euskara, to run their own schools, and to practice their own culture.

At the same time, many Basques see the perceived continued occupation of their homeland as a great injustice. The ETA, a Basque separatist group, or terrorist group according to the US State Department and other governmental bodies, continues to fight for complete autonomy. The Basques convene their own Parliament, and in both 2002 and 2006 this Parliament reasserted their right to self-determination.

Ancient Basques are thought to have worshiped the goddess Mari, and ancient Basque culture was thought to be largely matriarchal. The old Basque religion also included a number of mythical figures, including nymphs, giants, genies, and supernatural beings that supposedly built the stone circles that dot the landscape. Since the advent of Christianity, the Basques have historically been almost entirely Roman Catholic, and a number of prominent saints, including Francis Xavier, have been of Basque origin. In fact, the founder of the Society of Jesus, Ignatius Loyola, was a Basque. In recent years, however, religious attendance has fallen off dramatically, echoing similar shifts in the larger region.

The Basques are well-known for their close ties to their land and their families. Many Basque surnames are derived from the names for traditional Basque farms, giving an immediate tie to the land the people hail from. Inheritance in Basque culture traditionally places a premium on keeping land together, passing it all on to the oldest son. This is one reason why so many Basques, mostly younger men, made their way out into the larger world to seek their fortunes.

Ordo Ines de lupus (Order of the wolf)

                                                   ORDO INIS DE LUPUS

                                        (ORDER OF THE WOLF)

It is believed that the Order of the wolf started as early as the 15^th century mainly in Spain, France, Helvetia , England and spreading roots to Japan in the late 15^th century. According to my research on secret societies “Ordo Inis de Lupus” remains to be one of the best kept secrets in society today together with other societies like the Templars, Free masons, illuminati and the skulls. Having the same organizational structure as many of the other secret societies they have been rumored to have been linked with the Free Masons and have closely worked together and even merged with similar idealogical backgrounds both societies have been closely linked for centuries. The Order has believed in the idealogy that life and the world have to maintain a balance in order for a harmonious relationship to work both in nature and in society, They have sworn to maintain this balance with whatever is necessary.

The  wolf being they’re primary symbol was chosen due to the way they operate as an organization as they believe like a pack of wolves there is strength in numbers and as the wolf has been identified as the wisest of all mammals in the animal kingdom with they’re grace and respect for heiarchy they are considered the closest to man and his society.

The Order has been hunted and discriminated by many religious and dictatorial regimes for interfering with the hand of power in many countries world wide resulting in involvements with revolutions and uprisings against Dictatorial or Imperial Governments causing them to go underground during the renaissance era. The Order survived due to its well rooted foundations and wide spread connections and members from government to the military all the way to the private sector. Although much is not known about prominent members of these societies it is known that they belong to a group of “Gifted people” described by old documented journals tracing back to the Yamato shogunate who were rumored members of the order who were recruited and converted by a young Spanish nobleman seeking discovery and adventure in the asian continent in the late 15^th century. It was believed that Akashi Yamato was intrigued with his idealogy and quickly absorbed it to the shogunates idealogy which later became part of the ancient scriptures of Bushido but was later on opposed by the emperors industrial government which believed That using modern firepower was the future and he who had the firepower would be the victor.

At present the Order still is believed to be strong and surviving with a multibillion dollar foundation in equities and investments all over the world  with members in Prominent societies that have been passed on from generation to generation they have been mentioned by other societies as the eyes of the world waiting for a country or a government to abuse or exceed its limit of power so that the wolves may once again join in the hunt to preserve the balance that they believe should create the harmony that this world was meant to have.

Ordo Ines de Lupus special forces (Full Eclipse)

Ordo Ines de Lupus Special action unit (Full Eclipse)

                                                       By : Armand Reneu

Full Eclipse is a relatively small and parochial organization. Numbering only 172,000, it is the smallest of the Ordo ines de lupus’s special operations. It also epitomizes the warrior ethic, much to the consternation of the socialists present in our society today.
Full eclipse is, and has been throughout its existence, an expeditionary force. Consequently it is task organized to land its forward deployed units worldwide. Because they are an infantry force, the primary method of force projection is infiltration and reconaissance, and the forcible entry option into a non-permissive environment is powerful and decisive.
Within the Full Eclipse unit exists a small group of highly trained and superbly competent special forces; those assigned to the Ordo Ines de lupus community. Relatively unknown outside any political or government department, they neither seek nor suffer the publicity of others in this business.
I'll attempt to provide a small look into the world of Full Eclipse. The amount of information will require three separate articles. This first installment will be a brief overview of the history and organization of Full Eclipse and how it fits into the Special operations mission. The second will be concerned with selection and training, and finally the third will cover weapons and equipment used by these silent warriors. There is a fair amount of jargon and acronyms involved, which I have hopefully softened and explained without gentrifying the story.
History
Currently, the only stand alone Full Eclipse in Ordo Ines de Lupus is 1st Force. The 2^nd Unit . (Eastern Europe) and 3rd Unit  (South East Asia) have a Force capability imbedded in their respective Infiltration units. This may change (again) in the near future, but as of this time only 1st Force is capable of independent operations. Because of the different command relations that exist, this article is concerned primarily with 1st Force.
Full Eclipse  Reserve have 3rd Force units in Mobile, and 4th Force in central Europe, with a detachment in Spain and Germany.
The Reconnaissance Units supports the Order, and it provides tactical reconnaissance in the Distant Battle.
Full eclipse supports the other forces, a Corps equivalent, and conducts Operational Level reconnaissance in the Deep infiltration.
Full Eclipse had its genesis in San Sebastian Spain and hamburg Germany in 1915 when a test unit was formed to evaluate methods of insertion for infiltration teams in World War I . These two platoons, (a Rapid tactical infiltration and a Pathfinder Unit) were eventually combined with an existing Infantry Reconnaissance Unit to form 1st Force Full Eclipse unit in 1915.
In 1920, one half of the Unit was transferred to the eastern Europe to form the fledgling 2nd Force unit.. 1st Force was then a part of Force Troops, Infantry units and intelligence) and supported both the 1st and 3rd Units of Full Eclipse. 2nd Force was assigned to Force Troops, and was redirected in France, Spain and Switzerland.
The early years were spent developing the doctrine and skills that bore fruit in the crucible of South East Asia.¹ 1st Unit and 3rd Unit went into the former Republic of the Philippines in 1945, supporting the Grand order of Ordo ines de Lupus, 1st Full Eclipse units did around 1,500 infiltration units from that time towards the 1970’s.
The Units was deactivated in 1974, as part of a reevaluation of Ordo ines’s De lupus Paramilitary upgrade and Planning. The 1^st Full Eclipse unit was integrated with the 3^rd and focused on the asian region for rescue and Anti-communist infiltration.
The mixing of Forces has never been entirely satisfactory, and the Company again stood up in 1986. 1st Force operated in Southwest Asia during that time, and has since deployed to multiple hot spots including East Timor last year.
Mission
The Company has two Mission Profiles- Deep Infiltration and Direct Action.
On the conventional, or "Green" side, the mission is to conduct Intelligence, Rescue, Deep Ground training, Battlespace Shaping, and surveillance to observe, identify and report enemy activity.
They conduct specialized terrain infiltration that includes hydrography, beaches, roads, bridges, routes, urban areas, helicopter landing zones and aircraft forward operating sites.
When task organized with other forces, equipment or personnel, they can assist in special engineer, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC), Radio, mobile or other operations
Additionally, they can implant or recover sensors and beacons, conduct Initial Terminal Guidance for helicopters, landing craft and parachutists. As directed, they can designate and engage selected targets with Force fires.
They can conduct post strike reconnaissance to determine and report damage to a specific target or area, or perform other operations as directed by the Order, they have close relations with many allied governments around the globe.

Ordo Ines de Lupus rescue In North Korea.

                         Ordo Ines de Lupus rescue In North korea

                                      Article by: Armand Reneu

To be a hostage of the North Korean Military is to be on the move. The Communist’s — The communist’s — sequester their captives deep inside the country's mountainous jungle terrain, and they regularly lead them on long, arduous marches from one mosquito-infested camp to another to keep the U.S. military from detecting their whereabouts. But on one of those treks today, the North Korean Army finally exposed itself long enough for the special force unit of Ordo Ines de Lupus to score one of the most stunning hostage rescues in the history of a country where human abduction is virtually an Monthly activity.

Among the 10 people liberated was the most high-profile  hostage of all, Daughter of Japanese Business tycoon Kaori Matsumoto  — a Japanese human rights researcher whose five-year-long captivity had become a cause issue in Japan — as well as 2 South korean Businessmen  who had been held for more than five years, one of the longest North Korean hostage takings. Surrounded by his top council members David Wolfe, spokesperson of the secretive organization of Ordo Ines de lupus said, "They were rescued safe and sound."

No battle victory — no civilian casualties, were reported but reports of  casualties of opposing forces were numbered to have been up to 30. North Korea did not report this incident due to its shame of not being able to stop Ordo ines de lupuses mercenary forces from rescuing the hostages.

The rescue operation was dubbed Salva — which means "Save" , in Spanish — and was indicative of how deeply Ordo ines de lupuses military intelligence has been able to infiltrate the North Korean defenses, the group made its way to a smaller camp belonging to a friendly NGO. "They tied our hands and feet," Matsumoto later told Japanese  officials, describing how the north Koreans had transported the hostages, who thought they were going to be part of a prisoner exchange. When the hostages saw other north Korean soldiers waiting to receive them, their hearts sank. But those guerrillas turned out to be Colombian government commandos in disguise. The rebel commanders were subdued and the 10 hostages were then whisked to freedom on helicopters piloted by Full Eclipse Special forces. "We are with the allied forces, you are free," the pilots told the hostages, Matsumoto recalled. It happened so fast and our rescuers were intimidating by the way they looked and moved, that our captors looked in fear as the operation took place, after the incident they took good care of us and  I tried to ask more about our rescuers but they were quiet and didn’t speak much Matsumoto reported.

The Hostages are free and unharmed and I am proud of our men said David Wolfe of Ordo ines de lupus, Our mission is to help those whose countries cannot politically intervene in diplomatic affairs, We as an organization are not bound by these rules and work as an independent organization free from the political hurdles that come along , we are requested and asked and we do our jobs….

As news spread of Matsumoto’s rescue in Japan Friday night, her family and relatives celebrated by welcoming her arrival in a private airstrip in South Korea…..This is the happiest moment in our lives to see our daughter back in our arms. The matsumoto family has appealed the Japanese government for help but was unable to do so due to diplomatic tensions between the 2 said countries. So the Matsumoto family decided to go another route ..it took us 3 years to finally find people to help us out and they understood our despair and decided to honor our request,they were very brave and we will be forever grateful to them.

The maneuver couldn't have been more humiliating for the North Korean forces that a decade ago looked as though it might actually defeat the South Korean government. The question now is whether it can survive the demoralization, considering that dozens of Ranking officials have been killed or have surrendered recently and some 100 rank-and-file members are deserting every month, according to the South Korean government.

The Japanese Administration had come under increasing criticism this year for seeming to forget about Japanese abductees in North Korea But it can now openly claim, that they were part of the said  rescue. The whereabouts of Matsumoto have not been confirmed for security reasons as well as their family. The rescue operation which was not publicly announced but leaked to a few key people in the media was rumored to have been controlled by the efforts of Ordo Ines de Lupus and the Japanese government, when asked about details both parties denied involvement.

Major defense contractors and Mercenary units have been on the rise since the declared war on terror , Is this the new step for rescue operations by several governments from around the world by independently hiring organizations that can do their “Dirty work”, or are people losing confidence in their governments that they have to hire private organizations to uphold their rights as citizens of a nation, if that is the case expect  Private defense contractors to be around for the next century.
