Correct. Pike was a full on Luciferian along with his other Freemasonic buddies like Mazzini and Garabaldi that were leading the "Italian revolution" and Marx leading the Communist movement (from the comfort of London by the way). And all of them were being financed by the UK's Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, another Freemason that ran these "revolutions" from London (including the US Southern insurrection.) In other words, all these wars and "revolutions" are planned by hidden powers well in advance. We are just given the illusion that they happen by accident.
