The Cross of Lorraine – a symbol of the anti-TB “crusade”
The double-barred cross is a modification of the Cross of Lorraine, which is itself a variation of the Jerusalem, or Patriarchal, Cross. Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine and a leader of the First Crusade, commandeered the cross in 1099 when he was made ruler of Jerusalem. In 1902 at the International Conference on tuberculosis held in Berlin, Dr. Gilbert Sersiron of Paris proposed that the Lorraine Cross be made the emblem of the anti-TB "crusade".
Sometimes things ARE what they appear to be - nothing!
The American Red Cross (officially named The American National Red Cross, ARC) also represents a double (dual) cross as it is a front for the masonic Order of the Red Cross. The ARC was taken over by John D. Rockefeller inorder to mold Americans into his concept of perfect human nature, by destroying parental influence, traditions and customs, while reducing national intelligence levels into a biological apocalypse, under the eugenics movement. The control of the international blood council by the Rockefellers illustrated the importance given to blood and bloodlines. The American Red Cross falls under the Order of the Red Cross and is aligned with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) and the Order of the Knights Templar.

It could very well be the Cross Of Loraine! Thanks ahimsa. I'm still searching for this intriguing symbol though.
Edit because the link wasn't working for the external content. A search in images for the cross of lorraine will take you to the external content.

Pope Eugene III granted them the Cross of Lorraine and made them answerable to the pope alone (Pope Eugene III was also a disciple of St Bernard of Clairvaux who founded the Templars at the Council of Troyes, northeastern France, in the 12th century). The two-tiered Cross signified higher authority, Metropolitanical and Patriarchal. That it was granted to a religious Order of Knights was quite remarkable.
