So I wonder how many will find this any sort thing anyway Racist, again? I just find this stuff really interesting in terms of symbolism and Gates seems to be very active in Freemasonry/Signs/Symbolism.
Fraternal Order of Police defends Crowley
Obama Gives Almost Apology after calling Cambridge Police Stupid; the FOP Supported McCain-Palin; Socialist Race Politics at its Ugliest
Police union condemns Obama's comments July 24, 2009 · 184 Comments
Barack Obama struck a blow to the face of the Cambridge Police Department… some remember the Fraternal Order of Police sided with John McCain & Sarah Palin during the 2008 Presidential Election.
Way to Go Barack… jumping on the Race Card to Strike a Blow to the FOP and further the Socialist politics of racial division in this country.
Officer Crowley acted in the best traditions of the Cambridge Police Department and the FOP… it was Prof. Gates who pulled a Race Card Bully Act to harass Officer Crowley, a man so well versed in race sensitivity that he is an instructor of classes teaching police officers how to avoid racial profiling.
And then there is this, for what it is worth, from ‘Scofflaw’ Obama Grudge Against Cambridge Police? » Give Us Liberty Blog…
LET'S NOT FORGET THE FACT THAT THE (F.O.P.) IS A MASONIC ORGANIZATION TOO.... I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT B.O. USES THE SYMBOLIC TERM 'ILLUMINATE' AND SGT CROWLEY REMINDS ME OF ALIESTER IN THE FOOTAGE BELOW...
Obama, who attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991, lived in Cambridge, and apparently didn’t like the fact he was frequently hit with parking tickets.
In all Obama received 17 tickets for parking violations — and never paid 15 of them until he was exposed by a local Massachusetts newspaper as a scofflaw [17 years after the fact].
According to a 2007 Associated Press story, Obama was a parking ticket deadbeat for more than a decade — and only felt the need to pay the 15 outstanding parking tickets as his presidential campaign began in earnest in 2007.
This would be the first monument in recognition of any African American on the Cambridge Common, historic for being the site where General George Washington formed the Continental Army.
“Prince Hall’s life and legacy in the days before and after the American Revolution proved to be the foundation on which the modern civil rights movement was built,” said Mayor Simmons. “He advocated for the inclusion of African Americans in the Continental Army, an end to slavery, and for the education of black children. He formed organizations where African Americans could gather and speak that remain vital to this day – all at a time when it was dangerous to do so.”
“The Cambridge Common is in many ways hallowed ground, with monuments to important people and events in the history of Cambridge, and the entire nation. Yet, it is sadly absent any reference to the experience of African Americans in that history. By memorializing Prince Hall, and the principles he stood for, we pay homage to those that suffered through slavery, and honor those that fought against it, and provided a foundation for what would become the modern Civil Rights Movement,” said Mayor Simmons.
__________________________
Without question, if you proclaim yourself in being a proud Prince Hall Mason / Eastern Star, then one should understand the importance of such an undertaking being lead by the City of Cambridge under the leadership of the Honorable Denise Simmons (the city's first African-American female Mayor).
What's incumbant upon every Prince Hall member , as possible, is the act of spreading the word amongst your Lodge / Chapter members about this eventual monument which will take place on September 12th - 13th, 2009 upon the Cambridge Commons within Cambridge, MA.
As a committee member as well as Webmaster, I'm asking that everyone support The Official Prince Hall Memorial Website which is http://www.princehallmemor
Truth be told, there are only a handful of Prince Hall members on the committee; most are non-members however we were all appointed by the mayor to handle certain tasks relative to the Prince Hall Memorial Project.
At this time, what's needed are volunteers to help spread the word about this project. What we don't want to occur is for this to be a mere localized event with less than impressive attendance by the members of the over 200 year organization which bears the name of the man being memorialized.
Those of you who may have or may know of someone with strong connections with the likes of Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, Dr.Cornell West, Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Al Sharpton, to name a few, we need you to become a part of the Public Relations committee.
Ultimately, if it all possible, we would like to have these individuals as well as other pertinent guest present at the unveiling and, if possible, give some words at the event. We're also looking to have CNN do coverage of the event and , I conclude, if we are successful in gaining the support of the aforementioned individuals as well as others, we can justify a CNN being present and covering the event.
I we, as a Prince Hall enitity, fail to wrap our arms around this , would be, historic event, we will only have ourselves to blame and how sad would it be , at the unveiling, having a lack luster prescence for the world to see. Let's all make history together .
Remember, if there was no Prince Hall, there would be no Prince Hall Freemasonry -- let's do right by our founder , after 200 some years, and gvie him his righful just due!
Please visit and bookmark The Official Prince Hall Memorial Website for more information as well as visit often for upcoming news and other relevant information.

Du Bois Institute gives Houghton Library Masonic certificate
By Peter Reuell HCL Communications
The W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University recently gave a Masonic membership certificate signed by Prince Hall, a minister, abolitionist, and civil rights activist known as the father of Black Freemasonry in the United States, to Houghton Library. Presented by Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher Jr. University Professor and director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute, this document is the latest in a series of gifts from the institute to Houghton intended to strengthen the library’s increasingly significant research resources for African and African-American history and literature. “The library has been working in concert with Professor Gates over the last 15 years to strengthen our manuscript collections to support more in-depth research by students and faculty in African-American and African history,” said Leslie Morris, curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts at Houghton. “Prince Hall is an iconic figure in black history for which very, very little survives. I’ve been amazed how quickly knowledge of the document has spread, and how much we ourselves have learned about it from the discussions.” Dated June 23, 1799, the certificate initiates abolitionist Richard P.G. Wright into the African Lodge No. 459, the first lodge formed by African Americans, which Hall co-founded. Though Hall had been initiated into Military Lodge No. 441 in Boston in 1775, following the Revolutionary War, black Masons began to face discrimination in the lodges and urged the formation of a separate organization. Hall and 13 other blacks formed African Lodge No. 459 in 1784, and Hall was elected the first grand master. The lodge was later renamed in his honor. A leader in the African-American community, Hall came to Boston in 1765 and worked as a minister, early civil rights activist, and proponent of education for black children. Though conflicting accounts of Hall’s early life exist, he may have been born a slave in Barbados in about 1735. Past gifts to Houghton Library have included the papers of playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, a beautifully illuminated 17th century Ethiopian manuscript prayer book, the unique first issue of Fortune’s Freeman, and numerous other rare books and recordings. Joint purchases have included the papers of Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka, novelists Chinua Achebe and John Edgar Wideman, and writer Albert Murray, including his correspondence with Ralph Ellison. Several smaller collections are also located at Houghton, while the June Jordan papers and the Shirley Graham Du Bois papers are available at Schlesinger Library. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2009/0...11-masonic.html

The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of Afro-American Literary Criticism - by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Black traditions in the past have suffered from both the lack of sophisticated scholarly attention and a Eurocentric bias in the critical discourses. In The Signifying Monkey, Mr. Gates explores the relationship between black vernacular tradition and African American literary tradition. He seeks to find a system of rhetoric for interpreting black literature -- our texts. The collection of essays is separated into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of African and African American traditions and the importance of "Signifyin(g)," a theory that arises from the black tradition itself. In the second part Mr. Gates applies theories to interpret African American literature tradition from Slave narratives to Zora Neale Hurston to Alice Walker. This volume is closely intertwined with Figures in Black which left off where The Signifying Monkey begins.
EXCERPTS:
On Signifyin(g) and Talking Books
"The black tradition is double-voiced. The trope of the Talking Book, of double-voiced texts that talk to other texts, is the unifying metaphor within this book. Signifyin(g) is the figure of the double-voiced, epitomized by Esu's [divine trickster figure in black culture] depictions in sculpture as possessing two mouths." (Signifying Monkey, xxv)
Signification is a process in "how to employ tropes that have been memorized in an act of communication and its interpretation. (....) The language of Signifyin(g), in other words, is a strategy of black figurative language use." (Signifying Monkey, 84)
"The Monkey tales inscribe a dictum about interpretation, whereas the language of Signifyin(g) address the nature and application of rhetoric." (Signifying Monkey, 85)
Slave narratives make "the white written text speak with a black voice, [which] is the initial mode of inscription of the metaphor of the double-voiced." (Signifying Monkey, 131)
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!
An excerpt from one of Professor Gates books! Neighbors, police, lying . . .
52 Reasons to Reject Obamacare:
Gov. Rick 'Great Hair' Perry Says Texas Will Secede from Government Health Care. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 Texans Lack Coverage.
All this talk about socialized healthcare! Michael Steele says it's socialism, although he admits he doesn't know a thing about the actual policy.
And as Rachel Maddow points out, have you ever noticed that the more beautiful a politican's hair, the more likely he is to be completely full of crap? Case in point: Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Maddow really lets him have it because Perry is talking about "seceding" from any national healthcare plan, reminding him (and us) that he's been governor for nine years. As she points out, one in four Texans lack health insurance, giving Texas the title for highest number of uninsured citizens in the entire country.
As Washington Spectator editor and political author Lou Dubose pointed out to Maddow, the Texas governorship is "a ribbon-cutting position." Good thing, because he's not too bright, is he?
The person producing this list doubled checked and states that these are the true meanings behind each and every listing. The reader is encouraged to look into the matter for him or herself. This is far too important to wait for the agents of “spin” to “explain” the matter.

Again, much American health care involves people with chronic conditions but who can still have many years of productive life WITH PROPER MEDICAL CARE. If you are deemed to be unworthy of such care by virtue of criteria such as your race, gender, socio-economic condition etc., the chances are good that you will be DENIED that care and you life will end far sooner than would otherwise be the case under today’s healthcare system.
46. Page 429 Lines 10-12 the “advanced care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans – an ORDER from the GOVERNMENT. Again, we will have government ordained euthanasia – which is nothing less than legalized murder.
47. Page 429 Lines 13-25 - The Government will specify which Doctors can write an “end of life” order. This means that the physician(s) who cared for you may not even be consulted and you will be condemned to death by some uncaring bureaucrat in Washington who knows nothing about you and your situation.
48. Page 430 Lines 11-15 The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at the end of your life.
49. Page 469 - Community Based Home Medical Services regards services provided by non profit organizations like ACORN.
50. Page 472 Lines 14-17 Dictates payment to a community based organization like ACORN for such treatment. Both the treatment and the organization are determined by the government.
51. Page 489 Sec 1308 The Government will cover Marriage & Family therapy which means they will insert themselves into your marriage. If you are a Christian, it is possible that the government may be able to intrude into decisions made by your family as a result of your religion.
52. Page 494-498 Government will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services. Again, you could be adjudged “mentally ill” if you disagree with the prevailing agenda such as homosexual rights, abortion etc.

Our answer to that question is already well documented in numerous
documents and court pleadings now archived in the Supreme Law Library
on the Internet. A good place to start, if this topic is entirely new to you,
is this essay entitled "Before and After the Civil War":
http://www.supremelaw.org/
Prior to the Civil War, there was only one class of State Citizens:
http://www.supremelaw.org/
Because the Qualifications Clauses have never been amended, such People
are STILL identified in the Constitution as Citizens of the United States.
Note well the UPPER-CASE "C" in "Citizens". As one-time California Judge
Pablo de la Guerra explained so clearly, the term "United States" in
all three Qualifications Clauses means "States united":
http://www.supremelaw.org/
Thus, the Framers should have elaborated those Clauses by
identifying the class of eligible People as "Citizens of one of the
United States of America": the proper name for our supreme Law
is the Constitution for the United States of America. They did so
in the famous Northwest Ordinance, which provides us an excellent
clue as to their intent when drafting the organic (organizing version)
of the U.S. Constitution. We cover that history in this Chapter
of the book I authored:
http://www.supremelaw.org/
See also 28 U.S.C. 1746 -- the ONLY place in all of Title 28
of the U.S. Code where the term "United States of America"
occurs, by the way:
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/
http://www.supremelaw.org/sls/
Bouvier's Law Dictionary also clearly explains that "USA" means the
Union of several States, of which there are now 50 in number:
http://www.supremelaw.org/ref/
After the Civil War, a second class of "federal citizens" was created specifically
for members of the black race who were freed by the Thirteenth Amendment
banning slavery and involuntary servitude. Unfortunately for numerous
generations of Americans who were born after the Civil War, Congress chose
instead to identify these second-class people as "citizens of the United States"
instead of using the unique term "federal citizens".
Confer now at "Federal citizenship" in Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition!
Once you come to understand the FRAUD here, you will see how this one
definition is very condemning of the CONgress that proposed the infamous
Fourteenth amendment (lower-case "a").
Yes, it's hard to believe, but the ONLY difference between the two classes,
as far as their current and legally correct nomenclature is concerned,
is the UPPER-CASE "C" in State Citizens and the lower-case "c" in federal citizens.
Hard to believe that CONgress would be so deceitful, isn't it?
Well, then you had better buckle down and start looking into the
CONgress that introduced the infamous Fourteenth "amendment":
http://www.supremelaw.org/ref/
We deliberately use a lower-case "a" in "amendment" because
the Utah Supreme Court has already demolished the lies issued
falsely to prop up its ratification, in Dyett v. Turner. Find it here
after it was filed in a Federal District Court in order to require
the Court's mandatory judicial notice that 27 is still less than 28
(always has been and always will be):
http://www.supremelaw.org/cc/
(don't miss the dramatic ending!!)
The rest of this sordid story is laid out in enormous detail
in our now classic book entitled "The Federal Zone":
http://www.supremelaw.org/
And, to bring you right up-to-date about the lawsuit that is
now pending in Philadelphia -- the cradle of American Liberty --
check out this PETITION FOR A PEREMPTORY WRIT OF MANDAMUS
which my office has filed at the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit, also in Philly:
http://www.supremelaw.org/cc/
(follow the links and follow the money!)
Even conservative luminaries like Joel Skousen
have chosen to overlook the pertinent historical facts
and STILL standing court cases that should have
decided that lawsuit in a New York minute.
If you don't educate yourself about all of these frauds
now being forced down your throat by corrupt politicians
and corrupt judges -- being paid handsomely by the
proceeds they derive from various extortion rackets
still ongoing in this country -- then you had better stop
complaining and resign yourself to a BOHICA posture:
Bend Over [because] Here It Comes Again!!

DICK ACT of 1902... CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) - Protection Against Tyrannical Government
Submitted by Jonathan on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 2:04pm.
The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities.
The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia; the unorganized militia; and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.
The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.
The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard.
Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, "the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United States."
The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militia (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached.
During the war with England an attempt was made by Congress to pass a bill authorizing the president to draft 100,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 to invade enemy territory, Canada. The bill was defeated in the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that Congress had no such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the President to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country.
The fact is that the President has no constitutional right, under any circumstances, to draft men from the militia to fight outside the borders of the USA, and not even beyond the borders of their respective states. Today, we have a constitutional LAW which still stands in waiting for the legislators to obey the Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold.
Charles Hughes of the American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech which is contained in the Appendix to Congressional Record, House, September 10, 1917, pages 6836-6840 which states: "The militia, within the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the Army of the United States." In these pages we also find a statement made by Daniel Webster, "that the great principle of the Constitution on that subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of Congress over it."
"This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly establishes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the unlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it would have been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money for that purpose. Conscripted armies can be paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the unlimited use of such power."

It took the FBI SEVEN YEARS to get themselves in gear and get an indictment.
Not 7 years -- 12 years!
If you missed the news, busloads of NJ politicians
and a flock of rabbis were taken to FBI HQ in Newark
for booking the other day.
The charges? Garden variety corruption and money
laundering - with one big twist.
One of the indicted is charged with offering
a kidney for sale to an informant.
What the TV news is NOT reporting is:
1. The FBI was advised of this organ traffciking
ring SEVEN YEARS AGO by a totally credible source
(a university professor) and it's MUCH larger than
a single potential transaction.
2. Law enforcement in Brazil and South Africa acted
immediately on the information and went after the criminals.
3. This was not just organ dealing. It was organ
stealing. Impoverished people were flown in and
told if they didn't go through with the deal, they'd
be shot. Some had no idea the details of what they'd
agreed to.
Organs were "bought" for $10,000 and re-sold for
$150,000 and more.

Freemasonry: E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One); Decoding the Symbolism
By: Fahim A. Knight-EL
There has been a lot of discussion on one of the African American Prince Hall Masonic web sites relating to the U.S. Dollar bill and the United States Seal, as far as, decoding the meaning and interpreting of the symbolism, and for many of us in the broader community; we would have considered the discussion they were having as an old discussion. However, what is considered old information to some, might be considered new to those who have yet to come in contact with certain information, which leads us to accept that what is considered "old" or "new" information should be viewed as relative terms.
A brother named Octavius S. Davis-El who is a 33rd Degree Mason from the PHAmily website wrote this message: “To my sisters and brothers, the words were said last night (Referring to President-Elect Barack Obama’s victory speech after defeating Senator John McCain for the office of president),"Out of many one." Let us think on these words. Annuit Coeptis meaning Out of many one, it's on back of your dollar bill. "It is time to build and reinforce our society". Davis had suggested that the Latin terminology Annuit Coeptis meant "Out of Many One" but actually E-Pluribus Unum (which translate from Latin to English is interpreted to mean "Out of Many One.” But upon being corrected, he humbly accepted that he had erred and made a mistake and quite graciously accepted being corrected.
There was another brother on the web site who identified himself as Dr. Michael Murphy who I am assuming holds a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph. D) in some discipline, but this was his response and correction to Davis-EL; "Hi again Brother Davis, When one earns two Bachelors Degrees at a Catholic University, one has to take Latin. I double checked what I thought was the correct translation, and confirmed it.""The Latin words "Annuit Conceptis" literally translated means announcing the birth or in the case of the dollar bill; "Announcing the Birth of the New World Order". The Latin words "E Pluribus Unum" means "Out of many; one" Forgive me brother-man. I hate raining on your oratory parade, but consider it a helpful instruction in the Latin Language."
Dr. Murphy was correct in his language translation and since Brother Davis-EL had made this error on a public forum, then I saw no reason why he should not have been corrected in a public way. But I did feel that he laid down to easy and this is what led me to do this research and bring forth this knowledge, but many of the responses after Dr. Murphy's correction of Davis-EL comment were in agreement with Dr. Murphy because we thought that an authoritative voice had spoken. However, perhaps none of them were willing to put in the research to verify or go after the historical evidence to further explain this Latin concept E-Pluribus Unum and why it was incorporated in the symbolism on the United States Currency and how did this relate to Freemasonry. This subject needed a little more scholarly attention than a bunch of yes men agreeing with Dr. Murphy, but what about offering an empirical investigation. This writer did not respond on day that these comments were being made relative to the U.S. Seal and U.S. Currency, it wasn’t that if he lacked the knowledge to have responded. But these were surface comments being offered and I desired to wait until after doing the research and then only would I offer Dr. Murphy and Davis-EL a legitimate response that would be well thought-out and well researched. Here is my response.
But many of the questions that people were posting had been thoroughly dealt with by the likes of Manly P. Hall and other Masonic scholars, as well as by those who research and study esoteric and occult topics have produced a wealth of information relative to interpreting the meaning of the symbolism and the story behind the United States Currency; in particular, the symbolism on and behind the United States Dollar Bill and the United Seal. (Reference: Mustafa El-Amin; Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny”).
The author Paul Foster Case in his book titled, "The Great Seal of the United States" analyzed and decoded the inner meanings of the numerology and interpreted the Masonic symbolism that is not readily accessible to the naked eye and he gives us the esoteric duality There is little doubt that the majority of the so-called Founding Fathers—Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington were Freemasons and the majority of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were Masons and those 40 or so original signers of the United States Constitution, which fourteen (14) were Masons. These so-called enlightened men formulated the Rule and Guide of our legal and Jurisprudence structure. Many of these early Freemasons had been raised and initiated under the Grand Lodge of England. These “American” Masons who were ordinarily Caucasian and of an Elitist aristocratic society were given open Charters and Dispensation to set-up and organized duly chartered Masonic Lodges within the Continental America, which automatically received full recognition and approval from the Mother Lodge of England. (Reference: David Ovason; “The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital: The Masons and the Building of Washington”)
These enlightened men based on the symbolism of the United States currency seemed to be infatuated with occult and esoteric knowledge, the historians have not produced any evidence that the Founding Fathers had ever made any pilgrimages to Kemet (Egypt), but their knowledge seemed outside the ordinary and represented a "higher science."
It was rooted in the ancient wisdom of books written by authors of the likes of Manly P. Hall such as "The Secret Teachings of All Ages;" Hall stated, "European mysticism was not dead at the time the United States of America was founded. The hand of the Mysteries controlled in the establishment of the new government, for the signature of the Mysteries may still be seen on the Great Seal of the United States of America. Carefully analysis of the seal discloses a mass of occult and Masonic symbols, chief among them the so-called American eagle—a bird which Benjamin Franklin declared unworthy to be chosen as the emblem of a great, powerful, and progressive people. Here again only the student of symbolism can see through the subterfuge and realize that American eagle upon the Great Seal is but a conventialized phoenix, a fact plainly discernable from an examination of the original seal. In his sketch of the "History of the Seal of the United States," Gaillard Hunt unwittingly brings forward much material to substantiate the belief that the original seal carried the phoenix bird on its obverse surface. . .” (Reference: Manly P. Hall; "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" pg xc and xci)

Hall continues: “Not only were many of the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated and for the most part unknown--and the unfinished pyramid upon its reverse side is a trestleboard setting forth symbolically the task to the accomplishments of which the United States Government was dedicated from the day of its inception." (Reference: Manly P. Hall; "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" pg xc and xci).”
This writer wonders who were these individuals that Hall referred to as, "they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe;" were these the money changers who had financed both sides of the American Revolution—the international bankers who have always had a vested interest in the various Orders because of their ability to function as closed societies and the old penalties assured that what took place in the lodge stayed in the lodge based on the solemn oaths. This relationship between Freemasonry and the Power Elite have been mutual in a lot of regards.
Although, the Money Changers hoodwinked those of the Order because their involvement was never based on the three basic principles that under girds Freemasonry—Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth (Prince Hall Masons is based on similar principles Brotherly Love, Morality and Friendship), but money hoarding and controlling banking and finance were their true intent and objectives. Freemasonry became a convenient institution which to shield the inner-workings of some sinister individuals who had established blood descendent dynastic Orders and had become intertwined with visible Freemasonry. (Reference: David Icke: “The Biggest Secret”).
Some historians maintained that the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" was evidence of such covert organization and individuals that had systematically devised a high tech manipulation and deception plan of a group of wickedly wise, secret society, and sophisticated money changers that have duped humanity. However, their are others who say such a contention is mere nonsense and there is no reliable evidence that such a sophisticated plan ever existed and the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" was a fraud and a undocumented conspiracy theory hoax; just as the Priory of Sion. (Reference: William Guy Carr; "Pawns In The Game").
But nevertheless, what is undeniable is evident that their are some unseen forces, cloaked behind many different fronts and layers of deception and in deed they have the entire planet in a stranglehold. Thus, the so-called recent economic meltdown is not a meltdown at all; this economic crisis is one of their ploys to strangulate the ignorant masses by cutting off the life blood of society, which is its money flow in order to create confusion and human chaos while these profiteers are laughing at us Goyims and are continuing to rake in untold wealth at the expense of our misery. (Reference: Dr. John Coleman: “Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of the 300”).
Freemasonry as a Order might be innocent of such charges but is perhaps more guilty by historical association and as a passive entity in which in many cases have allowed the Invisible Rulers to use their Lodges not as a resting place, but as untouchable shelters who could communicate in a different language of symbolism—a word, sign and token, but their power and will transcended even the authority given under the 33rd Degree; offered under the United Supreme Council (this writer is not referring to African American 33RD Degree Masons because they will never be invited into attaining even an understanding of such POWER). They (Invisible Rulers) functions with unthinkable power and wealth and with complete sovereignty; these Invisible Rulers literally run circles around Freemasonry.
Thus, even Theosophical wisdom that consumed the life of Helen Petrovna Blavatsky displayed in her monumental works "The Secret Doctrines: The Synthesis, Religion and Philosophy" and "Isis Unveiled." or George Fraser "The Golden Bough." in which these scholars of renown also pointed to Kemet (Egypt) as being the cradle of civilization; all the known disciplines and sciences have their origin.
The American Founding Fathers used the language of Latin to communicate, because Latin was the language that had high intellectual significance and it was an expression of philosophical academia which was very popular even up until perhaps the 1950s. A lot of preparatory and parochial schools and colleges and university required the language of Latin as an intricate part of the curriculum. But Latin is a young language in comparison to languages found in the East such Hebrew and Arabic which derived from the much older language of Amharic that was originally spoken in the Middle Eastern region including Mesopotamia. Perhaps the Hebrew language that Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus, the son of Joseph) or in Islam and the Arabic language Isa bin Yusuf (Jesus the son of Joseph) spoke over 2,000 years ago were clear indications that the letter “J” was introduced only about five hundred year ago. Jesus did not speak English nor Latin.
The “out of many, one” was rooted in the teachings of Kemet (Egypt) where the microcosm universe was viewed in the context of the macrocosm universe and although the latter was huge and expansive, but the human anatomy—and physiology was only a miniature reflection of the heavenly bodies that were reflected and in direct correlation to the universal laws of motion and order. The Kemites understood the Universal laws of Maat—harmony, balance, justice, equilibrium, and reciprocity. So these ancient principles that were being symbolically used to shield and admonish a superior culture spoke to a higher language and as far as the language of Latin being used to describe these ancient principles and symbolism; it was only considered an exemplar language in the West and it does little justice as far as interpreting and decoding what was being spoken and written in Kemet (Egypt). (Reference: Josef A.A. Ben Jochannon; “The Black man of the Nile and his Family”).
Some believe that the Founding Fathers were influenced by the Rosicrucian mystic teachings that were brought to America in 1693 by one Sir Francis Bacon who understood esoteric and occult lessons that were rooted in science of alchemy and the universal balance of Eastern philosophy versus Western philosophy. It was no more evident than under the teachings of Akhenaton (the father of monotheism) which the Rosicrucian followers embraced and had a keen understanding of what Kemet (Egypt) meant in the realm of philosophical thought and its cultural contribution to humanity . There is no doubt that the Rosicrucians had come in contact with Kemet (Egypt) and had copied their Rose Croix theories directly from the Egyptian Mystery Schools who were doing degree work long before Rosicrucians, the Scottish Rite and York Rite Orders were even a thought. (Reference: Nesta H. Webster; “Secret Societies and Subversive Movements”).
William H. Gross in article titled, "Rosicrucianism' A Religion or Not" {Christian} Rosenkruez traveled to Damascus where he remained for three years, devoting himself to the study of the occult sciences. He then sailed to Egypt where he continued his studies and proceeded to Africa where he acquired further information from philosophers. Christian Rosenkruez's travels also took him to Spain and finally to Germany to where he decided to share his studies and research with his own countrymen. He also decided to establish a society for cultivation of the sciences which he had acquired during his travels. (Reference: William H. Gross; "Rosicrucianism' A Religion or Not").
Some scholars even maintain that the teachings of the Kabala was the biggest influence on the Founding Fathers, but all of these philosophies had what became known as a Masonic theme. For example, phallic symbolism, fertility rites, agriculture rites, and Sun God Rites that evolved around the winter and summer solstice—birth, death, resurrection, and ascension. The story of Osiris, Isis and Heru was a story of antiquity which had been told thousands of years before the Christian version of Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus, the so-called Christ); in fact the Christians forged this ancient pagan myth and repackaged it as a divine phenomena that gave them irrefutable religious credence over other faith traditions. (Reference: Kersey Graves; “The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors”). .
Moreover, based on the so-called story of Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus) and the Christian religious worldview; Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus) was supposed to have been the first world savior born of immaculate conception on December 25, suffered a brutal slaying, resurrected as an act of defying death and ascended (all this mythology was more related to birth and decline of the physical Sun). In Kemet all the structures of the pyramids were built around preserving the soul and it spoke to the higher lessons of the immorality of the soul. Wallis Budge in his book titled, "The Egyptian Book of Dead" (also known as 'Coming Forth by Day') provides us with these lessons. But Krishna, Mithra, Addonis, Buddha Apollo, Osiris, Quetzalcoatl and others shared this so-called divine phenomena long before Jesus the Christ (Yeshua ben Yosef). (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Introduction to African Civilization”).
The unfinished pyramid on the back of the dollar was this symbolic of the unfinished work of the Master Builder Hiram Abiff who was slain and left his unfinished work on the trestleboard? Perhaps the Founding Fathers saw themselves as a continuation of the majestic work that Grand Master Hiram Abiff started, which became interrupted by those who plotted its destructive end. These initiated men understood that nature and human life are but a cycle based on death and resurrection. They were inspired to take a so-called new nation and resurrected it from the ashes of war and conflict with its mother nation Great Britain. They borrowed the bird Eagle and/or Phoenix Bird from Kemet (Egypt) which was actually called the Benu bird. This majestic bird had many versions of its origin and the significance of its symbolism varied. (Ralph Epperson; “The New World Order”)
R.T. Rundle Clarke in his book titled, " Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt," stated: "In a sense when the Phoenix gave out the primeval call it initiated all these cycles, so it is the patron of all division of time, and its temple at Heliopolis became the centre of calendrical regulation. As the herald of each new dispensation, it becomes, optimistically, the harbinger of good tidings. During the Middle Kingdom the Benu Bird became the 'soul' of Osiris and the symbol for the planet Venus-the morning star Which precedes the sun out of the Underworld and is the herald of a new day. In spite of these minor roles, however, the Benu Bird continues to be 'he who created himself'-a form of the High God. In fact, Atum,Re, Shu and Osiris meet in the bird as the symbol of the godhead in time."(Reference: R.T. Rundle Clarke " Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt," pg 246).
Some historians have maintained that this mythological bird called by the Kemetic people as the Benu Bird (Phoenix) originated in Arabia and there were tales and myths that this bird had the ability to self create itself from death and even some have told that it was destroyed by fire and out of the ashes it resurrected itself to live five hundred (500) years. The Benu bird (Phoenix) bird is part of the symbolic degree of 33rd degree of Freemasonry, but is also tied to the Solar Deities based on the concept of birth, death, resurrection and ascension. The Founding Fathers were steeped in Masonic symbolism and made it the language of their new republic. They understood that these so-called New World settlers were some of the ones who were disallowed, despised and rejected (and if they hadn’t disavowed the Supreme Being their ultimate destiny would have been different), but one day would become the chief cornerstone of a new society and eventually a New World Order. Thus, they too represented Hiram Abiff and they understood that they were the Master Builders who were ordained to create a new civilization. This is why in our Capitol, the architecture layout from its roads to its monuments are reflections and a replica of aspects of Kemet (Egypt) from the Mall layout of the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, it is all laid out based on Masonic architecture in which a black man named Benjamin Banneker helped designed the United States Capitol. (Reference: “The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks”).
Anthony Browder in his book titled, "Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization stated, " The pyramid and the eye above it (which represents the eye of Heru-the son of God) clearly establishes an Egyptian link with the reverse of the Great Seal. The obverse of this seal is strikingly similar to the Nile Valley image of Heru, and the differences represent the cultural nuances which were unique to the United States. Above the eagle's head are 13 stars which arranged in the form of the Magen David, which is also called the Seal of Solomon. This is an ancient symbol that predates Judaism and represents two pyramids. The two pyramids symbolize the two pillars of Solomon, which play significant role in ritualistic masonry. They have been described by one Masonic historian, Dr. John A. Weisse in hi publication The Obelisk and Freemasonry, as "an imitation of two obelisks at the entrance of Egyptian Temples (as) the two towers on Gothic cathedrals and two steeples on churches.” (Reference: Anthony T. Browder: “Nile Valley Contribution to Civilization” pg. 203).
High Finance and Freemasonry have been interlocked because those that controlled world finance has used Freemasonry and the ruling classes found ways to shield their objectives by entering and setting up various ORDERS. The likes of Paul Warburg and Amschel Rothschild are just examples of Invisible Rulers and Money Changers who hid in various Illuminati fronts and of course the House of Rothschild; money and finance have always been their top priorities because like Amschel Rothschild stated over 200 years ago, “if I can control a nations money, I care not who writes its laws” (Reference: George Armstrong; “Rothschild Money Trust”)
The so-called first European Freemasonic Lodge was established in 1717 under the guise of Speculative Masonry, which some historians believe these philosophical lodges evolved out of Operative Masons who had established powerful Trades Guilds relative to protecting and setting guidelines to governing the training rights and privileges of their Craftsmen; this afforded these skilled artisan to have control over their labor and wages, which was tied to their learned building skills—knowledge, that was divided into three separate and distinct labor categories or designations—Apprentice, Fellow, and Master. Thus, each learned skill level was to be the determination of what kind of wages that a Craftsman could ascertain and warrant for his labor.(Reference: W.L. Wilmshurst; “The Meaning of Masonry”).
These Operative Masons developed a language of communication and actually was functioning as high powered tradesman labor unions, over three Hundred years ago. These Guildsman established this tight knit brotherhood, a fraternity of sought of skilled Craftsman. Speculative Masonry (philosophical Masonry) copied and emulated the social structure of these laborers who did not admit or allow unskilled labors to capitalize off their system of networking. They established signs, tokens, and words which to determine one of their own. (Robert Lomas; “Turning the Hiram Key”).
However, in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) perhaps 3500 to 4000 B.C. Africans where teaching Geometry; the neophytes that were being taught in Egyptian Mystery Schools understood the meaning of the letter "G".Yes, Pythagoras studied and acquired his knowledge of geometry in Kemet (Ancient Egypt). These Africans had constructed magnificent edifices such as the Pyramids at Luxor, Gizeh, Cheop, etc., based on almost perfect mathematical equations observing the laws of physics and astrology, the Great Pyramid was constructed almost directly in the center of the earth. George G.M. James in his book titled, “Stolen Legacy” admonishes that the Greeks and other civilizations borrowed heavily from Kemet (Egypt).
The Founding Fathers perhaps came in contact with this ancient wisdom from their involvement in Freemasonry and they too borrowed its mythological and majestic symbolism as a language and model in which in 1787 to establish a new nation that had risen from the ashes of oppression and tyranny; no different than the dispute between Seth (darkness) and Heru (light) his twin brother. They even gave the city of Philadelphia where the Constitution Convention was being held, a Masonic theme; Philadelphia is called the City of Brotherly Love. Yes, “out of many, one,” but unless you understand the Masonic Symbolism that has been so eloquently written about by Manly P. Hall then our level of understanding will continue to be surface knowledge in matters such as these.
