I remember hearing about this a few weeks ago and I thought I'd post it here re the Knights Templar thing.

The Knights Templar': Mexico's Newest Drug Cartel [???]
July 25th, 2011
Don't miss the one about La Santa Muerte.
Al Jazeera:
Pictures of the latest objects seized by the police in the Mexican state of Michoacan, revealed that the mysterious Knights Templar" drug cartel is more bizarre than most people imagine.
There were four hooded tunics, with a red cross, a metal helmet, and a pamphlet or Templar rule book. This drug cartel claims to draw inspiration from the medieval Christian warriors who fought to protect Jerusalem and the Holy Grail.
No one knows if its founder, Servando Gomez, a school teacher, was a history enthusiast or simply read the Da Vinci Code.
The rules in the modern day templar bible' call for observance of gentleman' like behaviour and respect for women but also state that any disclosure of knights templar activities will result in the death of the person and his whole family, and confiscation by the cartel of the snitch's property…
The cartel is like a secret society.
The Mexican Templars have an initiation ritual, which apparently includes dressing up like knights from the Middle Ages, and performing blood pacts.
The cartel recruits drug users and enrolls them in the organisation's rehabilitation centers; the process is closely monitored and has a strong religious component.
The double standard is striking: the Templars can not take drugs, and yet they run one of the biggest methamphetamines traffic corridors to the United States.
