Introduction
This book, Hollywood Movies with Freemasonry is neither a Anti-Masonic
book nor a Pro-Mason view about Freemasonry, Masonry, Stone Masonry in
film. The last thing I want is a letter from a powerful Christian
group criticizing my book or a black car to drive up a bunch of Masons
inside telling me “Mr. Grange would like to talk to you”.
Over the years I have gone away from being either an Anti-Mason or a
Pro-Mason, one I will not tell you. I am on the fence when it comes to
my opinion and wish to market this for Masons and Anti-Masons. As for
my opinion on Masonry, I wish it to be more open and to have the word
Mason said in public without a snip from anyone. Invitations twice to
join Masonry have dropped on my doorstep but I never joined. I wish to
be on the fence on the subject of Freemasonry.
This is the third attempt to writing this book. The first two went
fragmented and one was written on a sailboat being constructed that
eventually was cut up with HMwF (Hollywood Movies with Freemasonry).
HMwF has been written with research visiting 20 nations, interviewing
100 Masons and of course watching every movie not including any Walt
Disney films that is Hollywood. Independent films never have Masonry
due to directors being young I guess. Even the knowledge of Masonry
can be a do or die for a director mastering a film. HMwF could have
been called Director’s Secrets. The book is divided into two
sections, first, What is Freemasonry and Mason Movies, movies that
contain Masony. It was difficult to hold the book together because the
writings are always sidetracked. When I say that I mean one paragraph
I am explaining Masonry during Roman times in Star Wars and then I
have to jump to a link to Star Trek Next Generation explaining Jimmy
Carter. Sometimes it goes all over the place.
The first time I herd the word Mason I was attending Lakehead
University in my second year in Thunder Bay Canada. And as most say I
had never herd the word before. My roommate’s father was a
thirty third degree Mason and not knowing anything all transit and
police officers were Masons in Toronto. Good God I thought. You can be
angry, sad, jump off a bridge, make a nuclear device, cry on your
mother’s lap or just accept this. Masonry would not have to be
secretive and it once was not secretive if there were not groups that
hunt and kill Masons. Since the time of Solomon it went underground
and has been there ever since. Just looking for the word on library
computers would give you just two books in the entire library. One pro
one anti. Masons want to come up for air and in the eighties there was
a revival or opening of Masonry and since about the year 2000 enormous
amounts of literature have been available. I can remember surfing the
internet in 1998 and at www.amazon.com found just two books on the
subject and now at Amazon there are hundreds of books available. Maybe
as big as The Enlightment in the early 1800’s this new Opening
is converging with society and this book is just one more drop.
Star Trek and movies Anthony Hopkins could have been in two more
books. There is much Masonry in both. I almost made a different
section for Star Trek but instead I have written a small article for
Star Trek and later there will be a book Star Trek with Freemasonry
and possible one for Anthony Hopkins too.
Without giving to much away yet, first read the What is Freemasonry
and if you have never herd the word Mason before I hope I enlighten
you in the first section and wake you up in the second section. That
is what this is all about, Movies that have Freemasonry and secretive
Freemasonry. Soon you will be running to the video store.

I just attempted to sell my book on ebay and was suspended. The ebay
police must be really on ther lookout in the Freemasonry section. And
that will be the end of my book, I guess. I have made a small zip file
from the original book and this edition has many movies missing. Enjoy
this free book and I hope it is on all your web sites. This is the end
of my book.
What is Freemasonry
Remember in Matrix when Morpheus asked Neo “Do you want the pink
or blue pill?”. The pink pill gave Neo an exit from hell Earth
living in a pod and to wake him up. The blue nothing and Neo will wake
up in his apartment. I ask you the reader do you want to the pink or
blue pill? Pink will enlighten you to your surrounding, change your
life, freak you out, make you pregnant with so much information, let
you travel across the known universe and wake you up. The blue
pill……close the book. Ok. So you picked the pink pill.
Great. First things first. It is the year 8118, that is if your
reading this in 2004. We think. Yes we think, just like the Matrix.
Why is it is 8118? It is. Go to any Mason lodge or meeting and you we
see this number. I walked by and showed my respect to a 9/11 memorial
a few years ago and I saw it there too 8115-5-11. The fifth month
eleventh day in the year eight thousand one hundred and fifth teen.
Masons go by this calendar and thirty years ago in 1972 Intel came out
with 8086 microchip named after the Mason Calendar. And two years
later the 8088 which is in all Macs. If your working in a cubical farm
one thing you can do is look at the hard drive properties on all the
pc’s and see the number 8086 written. Then there is 486 and the
pentium 586 based on the number 8086. The Pentium has another story
with it, the Onion and Garlic Revolution 5000 years ago. What? You
think. Yes throw out all you history books and personal memory. Not
only is it 8118 but 5000 years ago the biggest riot known to man was
to be and hence the word pentium which means five from the number 5000
and that is why there is a 5 in 586, a computer the first to read two
lines of code at once. The Garlic and Onion Revolution 5000 years ago
is the oldest story with Freemasons and it is simple, the workers went
on strike during the Egyptian civilization and then to riot and the
riot turned into a bloodbath. The Pharos and upper class were killed
and the Masons became Kings. The Kings replaced the Pharos. The
purpose of this book is to show the hidden Freemasonry, sometimes not
hidden, in Hollywood film. Sometimes referencing everything from the
time of Mene’s Egypt, Xerxes’s Persia, Mars’s Rome,
Achilles’ Troy, Charles’s Britain, and how Freemasonry
changed the times. It is also the purpose of this book to show the
differences of Upper and Lower Masonry and show that the two types of
Masonry exist.
To understand Masonry is to know there are two types of Masonry, Lower
Masonry founded during the Onion and Garlic Revolution and Upper
Masonry founded 8118 years ago 6000 B.C. They are different and have
different lodges. I invented the definition Lower and Upper. After
Lower and Upper Canada, two areas along the St Lawrence River. It is
also defined too on the Nile Upper and Lower. Most Masons will say no
to Upper and Lower but it is my definition not theirs. If you ask a
Mason is it a religion, they will say no. Is it witchcraft, they will
say no too. What is it then? It is a religion but because of religious
persecution and went underground and Masons can’t talk about it.
Masonry is a religion and the more you read about it the more it is a
religion. Often Buddhism is said not to be a religion but a Philosophy
but as I say later it was the Sophists hence the word Philosophy that
wiped out Masonry 400 B.C. Masonry is Buddhism is Zorroastoism and it
has many names and it is a religion.
Masonic lodges, groups, time periods are as follows; Rotary Club
(Upper), Shrinners, Demolay, Moose, Rosicrucians, Blue Jackets,
Knights of the Templar, Demolay, Grange, Orange Order, Druids, Hash
House Harriers (jogging club), Sojourners, Prince Hall Freemasonry,
The Order of Amaranth, Manchester United of Oddfellows, Buffaloes,
Foresters, Elks, Moose and Eagles Lodges, the Woodmen of the World,
Riders of the Red Robe, the Knights of Pythias, the Mystic Order of
the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, the Women's Orders of the
Eastern Star and of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, the girls' order of
the Daughters of the Eastern Star, the International Orders of Job's
Daughters and of the Rainbow, the Boys' Order of DeMolay, Scot Rite
(Lower), York Rite, Shadowatch, Blackwatch, Quakers, Ku Klux Klan
(Lower), Mormons, Protestant Presbyterian Churches (some worth
noting), Napoleanic Wars (Upper), Reformation (Lower), The Samari
(Lower), Meji Restoration (Upper), English Civil War (Charles 1
(Upper), Oliver Cromwell (Lower)).
The orders are ranked in degrees with 1st as the first and 33rd as the
highest degree;
Degree Name
1 Entered Apprentice
2 Fellow Craft
3 Master Mason
4 Secret Master
5 Perfect Master
6 Intimate Secretary

28 Knight of the Sun
29 Knight of St Andrew
30 Grand Elected Knight Kadosh, Knight of the Black and White Eagle
31 Grand Inspector
32 Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret
33 Grand Inspector General
These are all the orders for Lower Masonry. Finding orders for Upper
Masonry was difficult and may be printed in later editions.
Well your wondering a few things. Is everything Masonic? No, joining
the Lions Club won’t put into a lodge or nor will going to Roman
Catholic Church. Why is it so secretive? Masonry had no choose but to
go underground from genocides of Anti-Mason Organizations. There is
always a big uproar when Masons speak out. Many will just say it
“The Rotary Club wishes to announce.” And never say they
are Masonic and there point is herd. It is to bad they do this. Now
with GenX not believing in anything it is possible to say the word
Mason. I am stating something Pro-Mason, eh, well how about this, why
do Lower Masons say the Masons came into being in the late
1700’s? Or when the Grand lodge of England united all the lodges
in England and they were the first. It is always said Masonry did not
exist before this date. That is where everything started Masons say.
They do this to iterate the Anti-Masons and it does. But it irritates
me on the fence. If Christians go 2000 years back why can’t
Masonry. They do but behind closed doors. And then say the 1700 thing
to irritate us. But Masons won’t talk about anything anyways.
First thing your told after joining, don’t talk about it. By not
talking about it, new young Masons don’t know anything and there
missing out it my opinion on all kinds of things like this book for
example. All in all in my opinion GenX is ready for Masonry but is
Masonry ready for Genx. Yes and No. Masons pick and choose who is in
and it not everyone in theory could be a Mason and if your not
accepted in your black balled. A bag with is handed around in a Lower
Mason hearing with lodge member placing a white or black ball into the
bag. If one black or a no vote is put into the bag the new recruit is
not allowed to join. The bag must be filled with white balls only.
This puts a big black ball on the population in my opinion. In the end
1 in 20 of the population will be Masons if that. Everyone else is
missing out on family history, better jobs and brotherhood. On the
Upper Masons, don’t black ball but you have to be invited still
and meeting them is through rich connections.
Two groups to be aware is Scot rite and York rite. York and Scotland
in Britain were named after these orders 1000 years ago. The Picts of
Northern Britain overnight became Scots from Masonry. Shrinner are at
the top Scot rite and Knights of Templar are at the top of York Rite.
More Americans died in the civil war than all the other wars America
has been involved with combined. In 1639, Freemasons of Southern
United States declared the Mason Dixie line just south of
Pennsylvania. Charles King of England had given a land in Pennsylvania
to a friend and with Charles not being a Lower Mason the Dixie Mason
line was made. It is written that the surveyors Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon in 1763 formed the line but they did not and the names
have been made up to hide the word Mason. It is interesting with
Masons always still saying the south will rise again or the civil war
will be won for the south, that Richard Pike a man with his name all
over Masonry in North America was the Southern Jurisdiction Leader of
Masonry just before the War. The War as a Mason rebellion to seed the
south to form a new nation and to stay slavery. The southern flag is
Scot Rite (Scotland) looking too. We must live in a Upper Mason planet
and not a Lower Mason one.
Recently Allan Rock a cabinet member of the Federal Canadian
government dropped out of running for Prime Minister with the Liberal
Party of Canada but just before he went he declared the winner Paul
Martin as having gatekeepers and passwords in a democracy. Rock was
referring to gatekeepers as the Mason that opens the door of a lodge
or gate who waits to hear a secret password to open the door or gate,
just as in Eyes Wide Shut, the film. But there would not be a
gatekeeper if Masons were allowed to recruit openly. Masons are not
allowed to openly recruit, a catch-22.
If your new to Freemasonry the best thing to do is look at the compass
and square ruler see figure 5. You will note the top is 33 degrees,
the amount of levels there are in Masonry and the bottom is 90
degrees. It is important to notice the two angles. You will see later.
The two instruments are in every Masons’s tool box. 8000 years
ago Masons under the Pharaohs had an instrument for each level of
Masonry, a hammer, chisel etc. Deep thinking of the day had each tool
with a story such as the leveler which represented all men are equal.
Back to the compass and square ruler. It is in the tie and shirt
collar too. And the suit jacket. First, see figure 3 the 33 degrees
and the 90 degrees can be seen both the compass and square ruler in
Figure 5 has 33 degrees and ninety degrees and so does the top of the
tie and bottom Figure 3. In the suit see figure 6 you can see the 33
degree angle in the collar and the 90 degree on the breast. There is
more, much more. If you look at the back of the US dollar bill you can
se a pyramid cut in half and an eye above see Figure 2. Figure 1 is
the bottom half of this image known as the half pyramid. The half
pyramid is in the tie too. If your a Lower Mason you wear the collar
just like the bottom of the pyramid or figure 1 in figure 3 in the
collar. The Upper Mason wears a collar in Figure 4, a copy of the top
of the pyramid on the US dollar bill or like a triangle.
The American dollar bill is one bill to look at. See pictures. If you
draw a star of David, designed by an Upper Mason, over the pyramid on
the bill, it spells MASON. The two stokes in the bill, $ (usually two
strokes), are to stand for Boaz and Jachin the first two pillars of
Freemasonry.
Am I crazy. Well I never figured this one out. I was told this by a
Rotarian. I never knew this. Lately I have not be able to wear the tie
because of something else. There is more! Uhura Mazda discussed in
Blade Runner is the Egyptian deity if light. Uhura is the
communications officer on Star Trek. Mazda is a car company. See 7.
The square rule fits just into the Mazda image {. If you blow up any
left bracket } to a size you can see it is always 90 degrees from the
outer tips to the bottom or middle.
How old is Masonry? I don’t like talking about Masonry in the
20th Century. The latest is before the French Revolution. It is
difficult to see Masonry in the same time period. Earlier I stated
that Lower Masons claim Masons came to be when the Grand lodge of
England united all the orders in the late 1700’s. No. This is a
very Anglo-Saxon why did fight Hitler statement. Masonry is 8000 years
old. It is the oldest religion known to man. The only way I can prove
this is to compare Tibet Buddhism, Zorroastrianism , and Masonry and
go back 5000 years. Doing so will prove that as Masonry went east
thousands and thousands of years ago it change name and became
Zorroastrianism and east more Buddhism. Buddhism is 5000 years old.
They have a different calendar and go by the date 5235. Buddhism is
Masonry. First the funeral of all three are the same, the body is put
high on a tower and the flesh is eaten by a vulture. In the film
Kundun this is performed on a Tibetan Buddhist. More, the vulture is
from the Greek Myth God Vulcan God of Fire, hence the word volcano and
vulture. A vulture bird is the highest symbol in Masonry. It was
thought in the animal kingdom the last one to eat was a raptor and it
was the highest. Benjamin Franklin one of the founders of the United
States asked there to be a Turkey Vulture as the State bird but a Bald
Eagle was chosen. Also in Roman/Greek Myth Vulcan is Supreme Ruler who
killed Zeus with a hatchet after being kicked out for being cripple.
Second, all three buildings with these three religions are named
temples as so is a Mormon Temple which is Masonic too. If you were in
a Zorro temple and were asked, are you in a Buddhist of Zorro temple?
You would not know. As too a Mason Temple it to is similar.
And third reason Masonry is Buddhism and Zorro, is to look at a great
book that was written, Who’s Afraid of Freemasonry. I picked it
out by spending long hours looking for connections between the three
religions. I finally found the word Zorro in the index and there it
was in Who’s Afraid of Freemasonry. The author brought three
scholars together, a Tibetan Buddhist, a Zorro and a Chinese
Orientalist, can you believe. Took all the words Mason off the text
and asked each one what he thought of the script. The Tibetan Buddhist
stated it was in fact old Buddhist scripture, the Zorro stated the
same and the Chinese Orientologist said it was nothing but made up. He
mocked the Orientogist in a sad way. I would have just said he was
stupid and needed to told the word Orient is very offensive in Asia
and a trip was in order. Maybe that is a mock too. In any account the
three religions are the same.
Today only a few hundred thousand Zorros exist in Bombay. They fled
Iran 2500 years ago from the invasions of Greece. See later Mask of
Zorro. Buddhism went into Japan from India 5000 years ago, 3000 B.C.
but Masonry went to Japan 8000 years ago not from Egypt but from
itself. The study of Gods, ideas of recarnation and influence of the
good and bad went both ways Egypt to Japan, Japan to Egypt. Europe,
Africa, India and Japan all have Myth as a religion long time ago. In
Japan it is called Shinto. In India Hindu. And Egypt as Myth.
Sometimes on U.S. TV there are shows on Myth to discuss Masonry
without half the country firing weapons at the networks. One good
documentary was The Power of Myth filmed at Skywalker ranch with
George Lucas interviewing Joseph Campbell about his great book with
the same name The Power of Myth. You could be five millions years old
and not know there were talking about Masonry. I talk about Power of
Myth in Star Wars further. What happened, why can we not have a show
on Masonry? Yes there was one on A&E but just one show in ten years!
And with A&E stating that just a few of the Presidents of the U.S. are
Masons which there were many. Not saying the word many was a fraud.
I do try and show a pattern to prove my point and there are lots of
patterns with Masonry. Next, borders of nations. This a freaky one.
Over the years I always looked at maps. I loved maps so much I went to
study cartography at university. Took endless courses of mapping.
Still to this day can stare at maps for hours. Then won day I shit my
pants, I shit you not! I was looking at all the borders of nations of
Northern Africa set by the British. Look at North Africa and then look
at the compass and square ruler figure 5. You will see that the bottom
borders of the nations have a 45 degree border. The two sides of 45
degrees add up to 90 or the bottom looking like the square ruler in
the figure 2 or one side of it. It is more apparent in the province of
Nunavut Canada’s newest province and you might have to get a new
map because it was just created in 1998. The top right side is 33
degrees. If you look below at British Columbia’s bottom right
border it is 45 and Manitoba’s top right, 45 degrees too adding
up to 90 degrees. Canada’s centre is considered to be the
Manitoba/Ontario border. All province east of the border are known as
Eastern Canada and all provinces west of the border Western Canada.
Any lines to the east are 45 degree up the right and any lines on the
west side are 45 degree lines to the left.
The earliest image I have seen of the compass and square ruler, is on
a picture titled Heavenly Jewrulsalem in the book The Hiram Key. It
was an old image and curvy but it was the compass and square ruler in
the structure of the circular building. The compass and square ruler
came into being around 2000 years ago. Architecture. A few years back
climbing in a climbing gym in eastern Toronto I was talking to a
friend Akille who knew an old climbing teacher of mine Mike Smart. We
went to the same high school together S.E.E. in Toronto and he was
also my first climbing teacher. Apparently Mike was writing a thesis
on architecture on churches. I asked if Masonry was at all in the
Thesis. What is that Akille said. Do you know what Masonry is I
replied? So there I was half way up going a climb looking like an
idiot. Akille did not know what Freemasonry was. I wanted to tell
Akille was Masons do to churches and have a discussion but I could
not. According to Akille Canada and America were nations out of the
stomach of Britain and Masonry did not exist.
Masons love sex. If you look at figure 7, it is the same image as the
Mazda Car Company with 90 degrees. If you place the compass above the
Mazda image to complete the compass and square ruler image and read
Blade Runner which discusses Mazda as a female the Mazda image looks
like a vagina, Yes a female vagina and the compass, two legs over the
vagina, the compass handle the penis. Yes two having sex. Your tie is
a sex picture. Anyhow, the roof on most churches is 90 degrees or the
bottom of the compass and square ruler upside down. Sometimes there is
a compass like image coming out of the roof too. The compass and
square ruler are all over buildings and especially a church. If you
were to go inside and talk to the minister about the style and or
shapes on the church and ask as they Masonic the Minister will not
know what you are talking about. The minister is in a sex building in
my opinion built by horney men fooling around. Most houses have this
too. Ask me who is building my house. Me. I am.
One of the glorious times of Masonry is the time of King David. Israel
was a small nation in the habitat of Egypt. Egypt controlled the
Middle East, North Africa, Palestine, Israel, Asia Minor, the Tigris
Delta, the entire Middle East. David upon killing Goliath rose up in
the ranks of the Israel Army and became King of Israel in 1000 B.C.
King David ruled North Africa and to the edges of what is known as
China. His first wife, it is written second, Sheba, became of Queen of
a separate state Ethiopia where the Ark was kept. I have noticed the
word beer is from a southern city of Israel named after Sheba named
Beersheba. Many names we have in our language today are from this
times. Israel influence stretched from the Atlas mountains to Asia.
Israel stood the most highest during this time.
“As Goliath approached, David ran out to meet him and, reaching
into his shepard’s bag, took out a stone, hurled it from a
sling, and hit the Philistine in the forehead.” (Holly Bible, 1
Samuel 17, 48)
“David conquered the Dominion of King Hadadadezer of Zobah at
the time Hadaezer went to tighten his grip along the river Euphrates.
David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand cavalry, and
twenty thousand troops.” (Holly Bible, 1 Chronicles 18)
It is not in Biblical text or any other text we have access too but
King David was a servant of King Saul in his youth and played the harp
during the King’s dinner.
Hiram a friend of King Solomon who had a big influence on King Solomon
and helped King Solomon into the craft of Lower Masonry, was King of a
tribe in Greece. Hiram was from Greece and brought and change with
Israel and two division which stand today two groups formed.. It was a
different order than King David, Upper. Even though Hiram’s
original order is part of King Solomon’s order, Jewish passwords
and names and not Hiram’s passwords and names are used hiding
the fact that King Solomon Lower Masonry is Greek in origin where as
King David is Egyptian in origin.
Before King David died he told Solomon, If you join evil one in two in
Kingdom will and if you join good one in ten will die. During the time
of Solomon, the kingdom of Judah and Israel split into Northern and
Southern Kingdoms with civil war and it was the beginning of the end
for the Jewish people. The difference with Upper and Lower Masonry,
David being Upper and Solomon being Lower split the kingdom in two.
The Lower Masons won with Nubuchadnezzarrar rising to power which gave
way to the Lower Mason Kingdom of Cyrus’s Achaemenid Perisa. All
three were Lower Masons, Solomon, Nubuchadnezzarrar, and Cyrus.
Hiram like Boaz is not written much in Biblical text just a few words.
But it is in Many Mason texts. Hiram is almost written more the
Masonry in Mason books.
“”But now.” Solomon said to Hiram, “the Lord
my God has given Israel peace on every side.”” (Holly
Bible, 1 Kings 6, 4)
Boaz, Great Grandfather of David and a word in the Bible next to
David, is the first password of Lower Mason Masonry. Many words are
from the Boaz, Boa Constrictor, Boat, and Soap. It may have been the
one that gets Jewish people in trouble. All of the words, names, all
passwords are Jewish with Lower Masonry and many think that Lower
Masonry is Jewish. In Ruth in the Bible just 4 pages of text describe
Boaz with Naomi and Ruth. And that is all but Boaz is all over Mason
text and is the first password too. There is more to be said about
Boaz.
That is the story of Boaz, David, Hiram, Solomon in our books. The
real story is that David and Solomon were Pharaohs of Egypt. All text
written describes Israel as the centre but in fact it was Egypt. An
enormous empire sits on the tongues of books not described but hidden
in the Bible and every other history book we read.
The old Egyptian Empire of 6000 B.C. was destroyed by Lower Masons
from Greece who worshipped may Gods but the most Lucifer. King David
or should I say Pharaoh David was the first Upper Mason since the fall
of Egypt and it was not until the foundation of Rome and again it was
defeated by Lower Masons. Jesus Christ and Constantine would have been
the third wave of Upper Masonry again being defeated by Islam an Lower
Mason religion. Lower and Upper Masonry wiping one another out, in my
opinion.
One of the most shocking secrets of Freemasonry with Lower Freemasonry
is with King Solomon inheriting King David’s Temple naming it
King Solomon’s Temple and it is today Mecca. Yes, Mecca is King
Solomon’s temple. It is a Lower Mason structure. If you read
the description of King Solomon’s Temple, cubical stone
surrounded by a pentagon, it is a description of Mecca, in Saudi
Arabia making the founders of Islam, Lower Masons. With King Solomon
changing from Upper Masonry to Lower from his father it created a big
rift in Israel and as I said, civil war.
AM/FM, two frequencies on the radio. Yes, they do mean Amplitude
Modulation and Frequency Modulation. But secretly they mean Ancient
Masonry and Freemasonry. Two different lodges of Masonry that are to
Upper and Lower.
If you look through the pictures you will come across the Edmonton
Oiler image. It is a circle with a drop of oil at the top. The drop is
to be a compass and the circle fits into a square ruler. A new image
of the Edmonton team was on TV in 2003 with a blunt compass over a
square ruler on an angle but I was unable to find the image which was
on the shirt on Edmonton website. The Toronto maple Leafs have a maple
tree leaf as an image. In the leaf a as on the Canadian flag is the
compass and square ruler. One good team image is the Michigan State
(university) Wolverines. On the helmet is a Mazda image with a compass
above going to the back of the head. All sport images on the planet
have compass and square ruler image within the image.
Another good compass and square ruler image is the Nasa image. A
compass with a rotating circle across the middle. It is an Upper
Masonic image which is very similar to the Next Generations image worn
on the chest of the actors. it is difficult to draw a rotating image
but on TV it is easy and on TV there are many images rotating meaning
it is Masonic.
One good image is the Remax real estate image. Many things to talk
about in this image. First the ratio of the incline of the
half-pyramid is 9 by 5. If you measure it on a business card it is
exactly 9 mm by 5 mm. So to is that the image is a half pyramid a
pyramid with the top missing see figure 1. It is also pictures the
image on the dollar bill. A Lower Mason image showing the top of the
pyramid being destroyed and removed with the Pharaohs. No single power
in government.
The Mazda and Acura images can go well together. Not meant to be
together but Mazda had taken the bottom of the compass and square
ruler. The angle from the side to the middle to the side is ninety
degrees same as the square ruler angle. The Acura image is a blunt
compass not showing the bottom square ruler. See the pictures.
My first run in with Masonry was at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay
Canada known for Paul Shafer who plays on David Letterman. Thunder Bay
is also known for a gateway to Northern Canada, fishing, and
it’s wheat port. Since the free trade agreement wheat has been
going directly to the United States and not Russia as it use to so the
city has had to change and it was changing just as I left. The fishing
is next to no other area. The fishing is so good the local government
had to put up signs “Americans are not to camp near here”.
I always laughed when I saw the sign and thought of it being quite
discriminatory.
Lakehead University was a small school trying to compete with other
smaller universities in Canada as a Native/Forestry/Arts in the Tundra
alternative to the big campuses of Western and the University of
Toronto. All in all it was a great place to learn how to drink and see
rock bands from the north. Any band traveling across Canada had not
chance but to stop into Thunder Bay since only one road goes through
Central Canada. I had a chance to see all the bands at the time. U2
always flew over but the rest did not.
The bar to do was called the Study. I used to play chess every day at
lunch before lecture and sometimes get in at least 5 games. On Friday
and Saturday nights ordering 5 pitchers of Superior lager watching
live music was the thing to do. The nearest town was 500 miles to the
east or west.
It was an isolated community of 1 000 000 but since there was no
industries with the suburbs going on forever it was all cottage
country surrounding Thunder Bay. Cottages are called camps rather and
great they were. The best fish I caught was at a Thunder Bay cottage
and it looked like white pearl salmon. It was a great place to live if
you could get employment or employ yourself.
One day I was minding my business and I am sure everyone has the same
story. I might have even been watching television. In any event, my
roomate started talking and then just then I was enlightened by
Freemasonry. I didn’t know what it was and why so many were
Masons. My roommate’s name was Jim Hendry and his father was a
thirty third degree Mason. And dined with the Governor General and had
contacts everywhere and sold real estate. Apparently all the transit
officials back in my home town with the police were all Masons.
“great way to get a job” he said. I was quite against the
order when I first herd the words and didn’t hear about it until
a few years later. I was sitting with a new friend Steve Wroe. We both
knew a friend in Toronto and we became friends because of it. He
father was a Mason and then one day hinted he had joined but would not
talk about it. A few days later I received a phone call in a
telemarking kind of way “Jon would you like to go to a meeting
on the introduction of Masonry at the Old Mill?” I nearly had a
heart attack. I was being watched by a friend but he would not talk
about it. The entire situation freaked me out so I never went to the
meeting at the Old Mill in Toronto. If I did I would never had written
this book. It was the first of two invitations I received but if I did
join I would have written a book about nothing and not been allowed to
write what I wanted. I always wonder where I would have gone to if I
joined. Better jobs I guess but I would have been lost somewhere. I
like Masons but I don’t like today the secretive lifestyle that
it and I need to breath words time to time. To hold secretes and not
to be allowed to do certain things would have bothered me. There has
to be changes in Masonry.
A few years later I was in Thailand in 1993. I was teaching English
in Songkhla at a College. Songkhla was an old fishing port town that
discovered oil offshore and invited American and Canadian companies
for exploration. The big bar of choose for foreigners was Dory’s
near the main beach. On Saturdays we jogged in the Hash House Harriers
and on Sundays we played volleyball on the beach. Both were Masonic
clubs. The volleyball game was hosted by one of the Americans from the
Embassy. Every week after week it was the Bombers against all British
and Canadians. Mostly Americans made up the Bomber squad. And always
as always the Bombers would loose. 15-, 15-0, 15-0. Always. I felt bad
playing on the British/Canadian contingent so one day I defected and
made it my dream for the Bombers to win a Sunday. The Bombers were
plus 50 and all had big bellies and skinny legs. One players had
potential, an Australian who stood over 6 feet but chained smoked.
I took over as captain the first Sunday I joined. Being captain just
meant you go the most points. If we were to beat the British/Canadians
I once fought for changes were in order. Oliver, a Dane was sparky but
decided to catch the ball %50 of the time to see if it was in or out
and it was always in. In volleyball your not suppose to catch the
ball. How could I get the Dane off the team. Mathematically I figured
we would loose by just 6 points if he wasn’t on the team but
then that was not the thing to do. The team was open to everywhere.
But the British/Canadians thought it was there skill for winning and
it was not it was the Dane catching the ball. We lost again that first
Sunday and again for about one month and then one day Oliver did not
show up. I could not believe the Bombers had potential for one win. So
there I was a defector on the American Bombers about to serve. The
other side was afraid of my serve. I could usually get 7 points for
each time it was my turn to serve but then Oliver would start catching
the ball. I served 14 points and we were one point from victory. We
just needed one point to win the first game in the history of the
Bombers playing the game. I did want to know how long this was going
on for. The looses may have been for years years. I was nervous so I
served the ball spiked. It hit the net. Just on point we needed. The
Bombers got the serve back and the Australian spiked the ball for one
point and the Commonwealth went flying through the air unable to get
the ball. We won the first game. And then the second and third game
too and as we won the third game James Eckart the founder of the team
held the ball high up and said he was going to bronze it. I’ll
never forget winning those games as long as I live. More than
anything. I felt like a star among the brothers of the team. I had
made more than half of the points and was called star of the team in
the Hash newspaper. I felt you could say, a little American.
My victory that day gave me a path to Mason Lodge of Songhkla. Without
knowing it, I was invited into the Hash House Harriers a jogging
social club.
The Hash was on a Saturday. We would always meet at Dory’s just
outside and if you did have a car or motorbike you could get a ride
with beer truck to the course which always changed each week. The
course was simple a trail of white powder left from the week’s
hasher and you did not know were it went. The course changed week
after week. All you had to do was follow the trail and sometimes it
disappeared and then it would start up again with a riddle sometimes.
And the first one to cross the finish line would get free beer.
I never got to the finish line first and usually just walked the
course. The Hash started in Malaysia at the end of WW2 at a hunting
club. Two British soldiers starting running between the hash houses or
dens and then started a running club with a course with riddles
between the houses. That is the story but it goes back further to the
time of Greece the cradle of Lower Freemasonry, not Egypt. The idea of
hunting an animal is far into our past. Hunting the fox was the first
because the fox was a sacred animal in Upper Masonry so it was hunted
to mock Upper Masonry. The Hash first started hunting a fox and now
hunted a trail of powder. So they say.
The Hash House Harriers is all over the planet in every city.
Sometimes in some cities there are 4 Hashes. It is a great place to
meet people and socialized. It is a lot like a British Hunting club
but with no clubhouse. I did like when I was last at the Toronto Hash,
one of the police officers asked me if I would come back and wanted an
answer. I think they have a hard time getting Hashers to return but I
liked the politeness and fact that someone was interested in if I
would come back. I knew the Hash was Masonic and the Hashers did not
know what I knew. But it was Mason club and for five years being a
Hasher I never herd the word Mason. It is said behind closed doors and
never around the club. The Hash is a Mason club.
I forgot all about the craft of Masonry and it was until I went back
to school at George Brown College did I hear the word again. My
university years needed a trade to add and in other words, my Arts
degree was not making me any money. So off I went to College in
Toronto. I chose Electronic Engineering because the two year course,
three years actually condensed into two, allowed you could enter the
third year of Electrical Engineering at, you guessed it, Lakehead
University. Lakehead and George Brown had an education link. No other
schools did and it was quite the coincidence they did. When I was
leaving George Brown the University of Toronto offered the graduates
of the George Brown program entrance into first year. But I had just
done a 3 year course and was burnt out and wanted nothing more to do
with school.
Back to the beginning of George Brown. The program started off with
120 students and in the final year there were 8 of us left. It was a
hard program. So hard two of us failed a course in the final year and
they just gave us credit instead of having no students in the end.
Even if you studied the material that wasn’t enough. Going to
other chapters and other books was the thing to do to pass. Building a
circuit board was won of the hardest things I had ever done. Even if
you had the right part, you had to read a schematic book 3 inches
thick then calculate mathematically what type of resistor to hook onto
it. It became an absolute nightmare. Looking back, it was above what I
really wanted to do. Even so, there are secrets in Electronics and
Software too. If you discover something you keep it a secret and the
only way that secret would filter down the food chain was through
Masonry. The only way in was to work hard at the bottom and if you
were noticed and accepted into Masonry, you would really learn
Electronics.
One day our teacher was comparing us to his 11 year old grand daughter
who had figured out NAND gates on a pc program. I can remember
thinking, if we only knew that was what we were studying. The teacher
in fact told us we were stupid but we never knew what to study. When I
finally came across NAND gates and saw how simple they were I got real
angry and lost interest in the course. A test on Chapter 4 meant
Chapter 8-11.
At the end we were given a project to work on by yourself. And if you
asked the teacher any help your head was removed and then placed back
on. The teacher loved sitting in the edge of class or at the front not
doing anything. He had completely convinced everyone that this was the
way it was in the industry and a teacher doing nothing overlooking us
was similar to the way a manager would treat us in our new job. The
teacher did nothing. And nothing was learned in the class.
And then one day at George Brown near the very end of the course we
had a discussion of Masonry. The instructor started writing out orders
of Masonry which I did not know. I knew some but I did not know
Masonry included the Shinners, Knights of Templar, Orange Order,
Demolay and many others. Going from single thought of Masonry to the
idea that many include Masonry was a big step and it made read more on
the order. Instead of looking for a book on Masonry I looked for a
book on the Knights of Templar which would lead to a book on Mormons
and so on. It was a big turning point since first hearing the word
Mason being spoken. That day at George Brown College was the only day
I learned anything. If it was not for that day the instructor wrote on
the board I would have never written this book and you would never
have had the chance of being enlightened. To many introductory courses
and being introduced to Masonry was all I had leaving GBC. One student
got a job after the eight of us graduated. One million dollars for one
student I thought. And one student who became a Mason. I never went
into a Electronic Engineering career or pursued a degree after George
Brown College.
It was not until I was teaching in Japan in the year 2000 a few years
later that I started writing and researching Masonry. I came across a
Samarui mask and noticed the top was like a compass and the bottom had
a square ruler look. Just like the compass and square ruler image but
with the Mazda image on the bottom. See pictures. Almost a close
encounter of the third kind and you may be going through a close
encounter if you can see. I felt like an anthropologist finding out
what already had been discovered but was keep secret. I starting
thinking about Masonry entering Japan with Buddhism but as I found out
Masonry was in Japan long time before and I was at the end of old
craft in Japan.
An anchor seen on every boat club is a compass and square ruler too.
If you want to meet Masons and ask, join and what have you, go to a
boat club. Creame de la creame. %100 of the membership is Masonic
compared to just %5 of the common population. The top of the anchor is
the compass stretching out of 33 degrees showing perhaps orders of 33
to 70 degrees. And the bottom is just like the square ruler. I often
wonder about boat clubs after living at one a few years ago. In
Mississauga Canada year 2002, I was building a small 30 foot sailboat
from scratch. Little did I know I was in a Mason lodge until one day I
was looking at their website and saw a secret area for members to
click on and go and see other information. After building a new shower
for the club I was given a login and password to the site. And then
one month later one of the member gave me a speech of high moral
speech to join the order. I was freaked out completely. Little did he
know what I knew. I think he thought I knew nothing about Masonry. The
speech was good but I did not want to join. Everyone was a member at
the club but no one ever talked about it. That was one reason and have
many more but I just don’t want to join Masonry and I am not
extremely anti-mason religious bible preacher. I believe in many
things and I believe that there is evil with a source and it can
spread through teachings and in general people. I thought about the
Christians and there is no way the son of God was here on our star in
our time in the last 500 trillion years. Our planet spins around the
galaxy untouched every 480 million years. When earth habituated
dinosaurs we were on the other side of the galaxy. I think soon the 4
billion big bang theory will disappear and the age of the planets will
far surpass 4 billion. If it is 4 billion we have just gone eight
times around our galaxy. Life on the planets goes back 600 000 000
trillion years and to think the son of God was here does not make me
go to church. In any event, Masonry especially Buddhism has given me a
something to think about too but not having a membership. I want a
hall with everyone talking and any one can go, poor or rich, with or
without a sailboat and brothers helping brothers. I hope Masonry gets
more open soon as years to years.
Knights of the Templar
Often called Knights of the Temple, Knight of Templar are one of the
oldest Masonic Orders known. So old no one knows where or when it was
founded. York Rite by division and a high degree of Upper Masonry.
The Knights of the Templar are the earliest military order known and
which others are modelled after. They have their mark in history from
their humble beginning to
their marvellous growth, and a tragedy in France of their leader. It
is always writen that the Templars were dismantled after the death of
Demplay but it is not so. They exist today and I know one and if you
look on the internet there are Templar sites to wonder.
Right after they took Jerusalem, the Crusaders as their often known by
too, returned to their homes. They defended Jerusalem surrounded by
Mohammedan neighbours. In 1118, Baldwin II gave Hugues de Payens and 8
men an area of his castle. They bound themselves together with a vow
with a Patriarch of Jerusalem in presence. Thus their title pauvres
chevaliers du temple (Poor Knights of the Temple). Poor they were. All
they would eat is alms. And only being nine they did not receive much
attention. That is the story but the Templar go back further to the
times of Egypt as the main officers of the Egyptian army. It is also
said the Templars were wiped out in the 1300’s by the Pope in
France but that is not true either. They exist today and they existed
6000 B.C. in Egypt.
As the wrong story goes, the foundation of the Templars as said to be
with Hugues de Payens journeying from Jerusalem to the West to seek
the approval of the Vatican and get more recruits. At the council of
Troyes in 1128, at which he assisted and at which St. Bernard was the
leading speaker, the Knights of Templars adopted the Rules of the St.
Benedict, as recently reformed by the Cistercians. They accepted not
only the three perpetual vows, besides the crusaders vow, but also the
austere rules concerning the chapel, the refectory and the dormitory.
They also adopted the white habit of the Cistercians, adding to it a
red cross. Notwithstanding the austerity of the monastic rule,
recruits flocked to the new order, which thenceforth comprised four
ranks of brethren:
1. the knights, equipped like the heavy cavalry of the Middle Ages;
2. the serjeants, who formed the light cavalry;
and two ranks of non-fighting men:
1. the farmers, entrusted with the administration of temporals;
2. and the chaplains, who alone were vested with sacerdotal orders, to
minister to the spiritual needs of the order.
The order owed its rapid growth in popularity to the fact that it
combined the two great passions of the Middle Ages, religious fervour
and martial prowess. Even before the Templars had proved their worth,
the ecclesiastical and lay authorities heaped on them favours of every
kind, spiritual and temporal. The popes took them under their
immediate protection, exempting them from all other jurisdiction,
episcopal or secular. Their property was assimilated to the church
estates and exempted from all taxation, even from the ecclesiastical
tithes, while their churches and cemeteries could not be placed under
interdict. This soon brought about conflict with the clergy of the
Holy Land, inasmuch as the increase of the landed property of the
order led, owing to its exemption from tithes, to the diminution of
the revenue of the churches, and the interdicts, at that time used and
abused by the episcopate, became to a certain extent inoperative
wherever the order had churches and chapels in which Divine worship
was regularly held.As early as 1156 the clergy of the Holy Land tried
to restrain the exorbitant privileges of the military orders, but in
Rome every objection was set aside, the result being a growing
antipathy on the part of the secular clergy against these orders. The
temporal benefits which the order received from all the sovereigns of
Europe were no less important. The Templars had commanderies in every
state. In France they formed no less than eleven bailiwicks,
subdivided into more than forty-two commanderies; in Palestine it was
for the most part with sword in hand that the Templars extended their
possessions at the expense of the Mohammedans. Their castles are still
famous owing to the remarkable ruins which remain: Safèd, built in
1140; Karak of the desert (1143); and, most importantly of all, Castle
Pilgrim, built in 1217 to command a strategic defile on the sea-coast.
In these castles, which were both monasteries and cavalry-barracks,
the life of the Templars was full of contrasts. A contemporary
describes the Templars as "in turn lions of war and lambs at the
hearth; rough knights on the battlefield, pious monks in the chapel;
formidable to the enemies of Christ, gentleness itself towards His
friends." (Jacques de Vitry). Having renounced all the pleasures of
life, they faced death with a proud indifference; they were the first
to attack, the last to retreat, always docile to the voice of their
leader, the discipline of the monk being added to the discipline of
the soldier. As an army they were never very numerous. A contemporary
tells us that there were 400 knights in Jerusalem at the zenith of
their prosperity; he does not give the number of serjeants, who were
more numerous. But it was a picked body of men who, by their noble
example, inspirited the remainder of the Christian forces. They were
thus the terror of the Mohammedans. Were they defeated, it was upon
them that the victor vented his fury, the more so as they were
forbidden to offer a ransom. When taken prisoners, they scornfully
refused the freedom offered them on condition of apostasy. At the
siege of Safed (1264), at which ninety Templars met death, eighty
others were taken prisoners, and, refusing to deny Christ, died
martyrs to the Faith. This fidelity cost them dear. It has been
computed that in less than two centuries almost 20,000 Templars,
knights and serjeants, perished in war.
These frequent hecatombs rendered it difficult for the order to
increase in numbers and also brought about a decadence of the true
crusading spirit. As the order was compelled to make immediate use of
the recruits, the article of the original rule in Latin which required
a probationary period fell into desuetude. Even excommunicated men,
who, as was the case with many crusaders, wished to expiate their
sins, were admitted. All that was required of a new member was a blind
obedience, as imperative in the soldier as in the monk. He had to
declare himself forever "serf et esclave de la maison" (French text of
the rule). To prove his sincerity, he was subjected to a secret test
concerning the nature of which nothing has ever been discovered,
although it gave rise to the most extraordinary accusations. The great
wealth of the order may also have contributed to a certain laxity in
morals, but the most serious charge against it was its insupportable
pride and love of power. At the apogee of its prosperity, it was said
to possess 9000 estates. With its accumulated revenues it had amassed
great wealth, which was deposited in its temples at Paris and London.
Numerous princes and private individuals had banked there their
personal property, because of the uprightness and solid credit of such
bankers. In Paris the royal treasure was kept in the Temple. Quite
independent, except from the distant authority of the pope, and
possessing power equal to that of the leading temporal sovereigns, the
order soon assumed the right to direct the weak and irresolute
government of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a feudal kingdom transmissible
through women and exposed to all the disadvantages of minorities,
regencies, and domestic discord. However, the Templars were soon
opposed by the Order of Hospitallers, which had in its turn become
military, and was at first the imitator and later the rival of the
Templars. This ill-timed interference of the orders in the government
of Jerusalem only multiplied the intestine dessentions, and this at a
time when the formidable power of Saladin threatened the very
existence of the Latin Kingdom. While the Templars sacrificed
themselves with their customary bravery in this final struggle, they
were, nevertheless, partly responsible for the downfall of Jerusalem.
To put an end to this baneful rivalry between the military orders,
there was a very simple remedy at hand, namely their amalgamation.
This was officially proposed by St. Louis at the Council of Lyons
(1274). It was proposed anew in 1293 by Pope Nicholas IV, who called a
general consultation on this point of the Christian states. This idea
is canvassed by all the publicists of that time, who demand either a
fusion of the existing orders or the creation of a third order to
supplant them. Never in fact had the question of the crusaders been
more eagerly taken up than after their failure. As the grandson of St.
Louis, Philip the Fair could not remain indifferent to these proposals
for a crusade. As the most powerful prince of his time, the direction
of the movement belonged to him. To assume this direction, all he
demanded was the necesary supplies of men and especially of money.
Such is the genesis of his campaign for the suppression of the
Templars. It has been attributed wholly to his well-known cupidity.
Even on this supposition he needed a pretext, for he could not,
without sacrilege, lay hands on possessions that formed part of the
ecclesiastical domain. To justify such a course the sanction of the
Church was necessary, and this the king could obtain only by
maintaining the sacred purpose for which the possessions were
destined. Admitting that he was sufficiently powerful to encroach upon
the property of the Templars in France, he still needed the
concurrence of the Church to secure control of their possessions in
the other countries of Christendom. Such was the purpose of the wily
negotiations of this self-willed and cunning sovereign, and of his
still more treacherous counsellors, with Clement V, a French pope of
weak character and easily deceived. The rumour that there had been a
prearrangement between the king and the pope has been finally disposed
of. A doubtful revelation, which allowed Philip to make the
prosecution of the Templars as heretics a question of orthodoxy,
afforded him the opportunity which he desired to invoke the action of
the Holy See.
In the trial of the Templars two phases must be distinguished: the
royal commission and the papal commission.
The Royal Commision
Philip the Fair made a preliminary inquiry, and, on the strength of
so-called revelations of a few unworthy and degraded members, secret
orders were sent throughout France to arrest all the Templars on the
same day (13 October, 1307), and to submit them to a most rigorous
examination. The king did this, it was made to appear, at the request
of the ecclesiastical inquisitors, but in reality without their
co-operation.
In this inquiry torture, the use of which was authorized by the cruel
procedure of the age in the case of crimes committed without
witnesses, was pitilessly employed. Owing to the lack of evidence, the
accused could be convicted only through their own confession and, to
extort this confession, the use of torture was considered necessary
and legitimate.
There was one feature in the organization of the order which gave rise
to suspicion, namely the secrecy with which the rites of initiation
were conducted. The secrecy is explained by the fact that the
receptions always took place in a chapter, and the chapters, owing to
the delicate and grave questions discussed, were, and necessarily had
to be, held in secret. An indiscretion in the matter of secrecy
entailed exclusion from the order. The secrecy of these initiations,
however, had two grave disadvantages.
As these receptions could take place wherever there was a commandery,
they were carried on without publicity and were free from all
surveillance or control from the higher authorities, the tests being
entrusted to the discretion of subalterns who were often rough and
uncultivated. Under such conditions, it is not to be wondered at that
abuses crept in. One need only recall what took place almost daily at
the time in the brotherhoods of artisans, the initiation of a new
member being too often made the occasion for a parody more or less
sacrilegious of baptism or of the Mass.
The second disadvantage of this secrecy was, that it gave an
opportunity to the enemies of the Templars, and they were numerous, to
infer from this mystery every conceivable malicious supposition and
base on it the monstrous imputations. The Templars were accused of
spitting upon the Cross, of denying Christ, of permitting sodomy, of
worshipping an idol, all in the most impenetrable secrecy. Such were
the Middle Ages, when prejudice was so vehement that, to destroy an
adversary, men did not recoil from inventing the most criminal
charges. It will suffice to recall the similar, but even more
ridiculous than ignominious accusations brought against Pope Boniface
VIII by the same Philip the Fair.
Most of the accused declared themselves guilty of these secret crimes
after being subjected to such ferocious torture that many of them
succumbed. Some made similar confessions without the use of torture,
it is true, but through fear of it; the threat had been sufficient.
Such was the case with the grand master himself, Jacques de Molay, who
acknowledged later that he had lied to save his life.
Carried on without the authorization of the pope, who had the military
orders under his immediate jurisdiction, this investigation was
radically corrupt both as to its intent and as to its procedure. Not
only did Clement V enter an energetic protest, but he annulled the
entire trial and suspended the powers of the bishops and their
inquisitors. However, the offense had been admitted and remained the
irrevocable basis of the entire subsequent proceedings. Philip the
Fair took advantage of the discovery to have bestowed upon himself by
the University of Paris the title of Champion and Defender of the
Faith, and also to stir up public opinion at the States General of
Tours against the heinous crimes of the Templars. Moreover, he
succeeded in having the confessions of the accused confirmed in
presence of the pope by seventy-two Templars, who had been specially
chosen and coached beforehand. In view of this investigation at
Poitiers (June, 1308), the pope, until then sceptical, at last became
concerned and opened a new commission, the procedure of which he
himself directed. He reserved the cause of the order to the papal
commission, leaving individuals to be tried by the diocesan
commissions to whom he restored their powers.
The Papal commission
The second phase of the process was the papal inquiry, which was not
restricted to France, but extended to all the Christian countries of
Europe, and even to Asia. In most of the other countries -- Portugal,
Spain, Germany, Cyprus -- the Templars were found innocent; in Italy,
except for a few districts, the decision was the same. But in France
the episcopal inquisitions, resuming their activities, took the facts
as established at the trial, and confined themselves to reconciling
the repentant guilty members, imposing various canonical penances
extending even to perpetual imprisonment. Only those who persisted in
heresy were to be turned over to the secular arm, but, by a rigid
interpretation of this provision, those who had withdrawn their former
confessions were considered relapsed heretics; thus fifty-four
Templars who had recanted after having confessed were condemned as
relapsed and publicly burned on 12 May, 1310. Subsequently all the
other Templars, who had been examined at the trial, with very few
exceptions declared themselves guilty.
At the same time the papal commission, appointed to examine the cause
of the order, had entered upon its duties and gathered together the
documents which were to be submitted to the pope, and to the general
council called to decide as to the final fate of the order. The
culpability of single persons, which was looked upon as established,
did not involve the guilt of the order. Although the defense of the
order was poorly conducted, it could not be proved that the order as a
body professed any heretical doctrine, or that a secret rule, distinct
from the official rule, was practised. Consequently, at the General
Council of Vienne in Dauphiné on 16 October, 1311, the majority were
favourable to the maintenance of the order.
The pope, irresolute and harrassed, finally adopted a middle course:
he decreed the dissolution, not the condemnation of the order, and not
by penal sentence, but by an Apostolic Decree (Bull of 22 March,
1312). The order having been suppressed, the pope himself was to
decide as to the fate of its members and the disposal of its
possessions. As to the property, it was turned over to the rival Order
of Hospitallers to be applied to its original use, namely the defence
of the Holy Places. In Portugal, however, and in Aragon the
possessions were vested in two new orders, the Order of Christ in
Portugal and the Order of Montesa in Aragon. As to the members, the
Templars recognized guiltless were allowed either to join another
military order or to return to the secular state. In the latter case,
a pension for life, charged to the possessions of the order, was
granted them. On the other hand, the Templars who had pleaded guilty
before their bishops were to be treated "according to the rigours of
justice, tempered by a generous mercy".
The pope reserved to his own jugment the cause of the grand master and
his three first dignitaries. They had confessed their guilt; it
remained to reconcile them with the Church, after they had testified
to their repentance with the customary solemnity. To give this
solemnity more publicity, a platform was erected in front of the
Notre-Dame for the reading of the sentence. But at the supreme moment
the grand master recovered his courage and proclaimed the innocence of
the Templars and the falsity of his own alleged confessions. To atone
for this deplorable moment of weakness, he declared himself ready to
sacrifice his life. He knew the fate that awaited him. Immediately
after this unexpected coup-de-théâtre he was arrested as a relapsed
heretic with another dignitary who chose to share his fate, and by
order of Philip they were burned at the stake before the gates of the
palace. This brave death deeply impressed the people, and, as it
happened that the pope and the king died shortly afterwards, the
legend spread that the grand master in the midst of the flames had
summoned them both to appear in the course of the year before the
tribunal of God.
Such was the tragic end of the Templars. If we consider that the Order
of Hospitallers finally inherited, although not without difficulties,
the property of the Templars and received many of its members, we may
say that the result of the trial was practically equivalent to the
long-proposed amalgamation of the two rival orders. For the Knights
(first of Rhodes, afterwards of Malta) took up and carried on
elsewhere the work of the Knights of the Temple.
This formidable trial, the greatest ever brought to light whether we
consider the large number of accused, the difficulty of discovering
the truth from a mass of suspicious and contradictory evidence, or the
many jurisdictions in activity simultaneously in all parts of
Christendom from Great Britain to Cyprus, is not yet ended. It is
still passionately discussed by historians who have divided into two
camps, for and against the order. To mention only the principal ones,
the following find the order guilty: Dupuy (1654), Hammer (1820),
Wilcke (1826), Michelet (1841), Loiseleur (1872), Prutz (1888), and
Rastoul (1905); the following find it innocent: Father Lejeune (1789),
Raynouard (1813), Havemann (1846), Ladvocat (1880), Schottmuller
(1887), Gmelin (1893), Lea (1888), Fincke (1908). Without taking any
side in this discussion, which is not yet exhausted, we may observe
that the latest documents brought to light, particularly those which
Fincke has recently extracted from the archives of the Kingdom of
Aragon, tell more and more strongly in favour of the order.
Ten years after its establishment, however, the order's modest
fortunes changed. Seeking new recruits, Hugues traveled to France
where he met Bernard de Clairvaux, a learned monk who profoundly
influenced the Templar order. Bernard shared Hugues' vision of pious
warriors and pledged to help him develop a holy knighthood. Following
Bernard's recommendation, the Templars vowed to lead obedient, simple
lifestyles in accord with the Rule of St. Benedict. They donned the
distinctive white vestments of Bernard's Cistercian brotherhood,
adding a red cross at the center of the chest (Catholic Encyclopedia
1). Bernard also issued a propaganda piece condemning the practice of
secular chivalry. In De Laude Novae Militiae, he redefines the proper
motivation and behavior of a chivalrous knight, fixing Christ as the
goal of all their toils. "I am very nearly incapable of deciding what
I think they should rather be called, monks or knights," writes
Bernard, "unless I should perhaps more appropriately name them both,
since they apparently lack neither the monk's gentle disposition nor
the knight's fierce strength." According to Bernard, "God has elected
such men to Himself," carefully choosing and appointing them to fight
in His name. These warrior-monks were to wage the "double fight"
against evil, spiritually and physically. Killing barbarians was not
only permitted, justified as "malacide" rather than homicide, but
actually encouraged by the promise of an instant place in heaven. This
ideology helped recruit thousands of knights to the order, inspiring
acts of courage and heroism since death in battle meant martyrdom.
As I said earlier in 1139 Pope Innocent II placed the Templars under
his own control, exempting the order from taxation and placing them
out of the scope of any bishop's authority. This political and
economic autonomy allowed the Templars to prosper, accumulating an
estimated 9,000 estates by the mid-12th century. During this time the
Templars conveyed thousands of pilgrims across the seas to visit the
Holy Lands each year, craftily using extra space in the ships to bring
tradable goods from one place to another.
As the order gained numbers, reaching 20,000 brethren at its height,
it acquired a hierarchical system of command and local structure. The
Master of the Order was the highest official, chosen by an elaborate
voting and lot system. The Master's deputy, called the Seneschal, and
the Marshal, who commanded military operations, followed in rank. The
Commander of Land and Realm acted as treasurer and managed the navy
and estates; the Commander of the City of Jerusalem was Hospitallers,
and the Draper kept valuables of the order's wardrobe. Within each
temple, or local branch, a commander ruled over four classifications:
knights, sergeants, servants, and chaplains (Seward 34).
Despite their military prominence and thriving establishments
throughout Europe, the Templars' conspicuous financial successes began
to elicit criticism from both secular and religious observers. The
knights were charged with the sins of greed and pride, and these
accusations became serious with fall of Acre in 1291. Historical
chronicles record the Templars' heroic stand in this epic battle,
fighting to their deaths. Yet after the city was lost, the Muslims
regained the Holy Land as their own, and the Knights Templar were
blamed almost exclusively for the loss, for failing to successfully
perform their duty as protectors of Christendom. Critics pointed to
their allegedly sinful lifestyles as the cause of defeat. Having
fallen into corruption, the Templar no longer merited God's support in
battle.
After the defeat at Acre, political forces destroyed the Templar order
within a quarter century. France's ambitious King Philip the Fair
desired to elevate France to a position of greater imminence, but to
achieve this goal he needed money and papal submission. Many
historians believe Philip's machinations targeted the wealthy Templars
as a means to achieve his ends. The secrecy that surrounded the
knights' initiation ceremony and monastic lifestyle had produced many
unfavorable rumors during their two hundred year existence. On Friday
October the 13th, 1307, 15,000 men affiliated with the French
Templars, from the Grand Master to the lowest peasant monks, were
unlawfully seized and imprisoned. Philip and his chancellor, Guillaume
de Nogaret, claimed to hold evidence of heresy, idolatry, and
homosexuality within the Templar ranks. The warrior-monks were cruelly
tortured in an effort to obtain their confessions. Thirty-six men died
during this ordeal, and the majority of those examined confessed to
the relatively minor sin of spitting on the Cross. Three confessed to
homosexual practices (Seward 212). With these coerced confessions,
Philip persuaded Pope Clement II to order the arrest of all Templars
in Christendom. By May of 1307 Philip had agreed to hand his prisoners
over to Clement for a papal trial. In 1310 the prisoners were again
tortured but only four admitted any wrongdoing. A hearing before a
commission in Paris was to no avail; the retractors were burned alive
as heretics. In 1312 Clement condemned and dissolved the once
illustrious order of knights. To Philip's dismay, Clement gave the
Templar lands to their rival order Hospitallers. Those knights who had
never given in to the pressure to confess were sentenced to life
imprisonment. Those who did confess were released with a small
pension.
On March 14th, 1314 the remaining Templar officers were taken to
Notre-Dame to receive public sentencing. When it was declared that he
should spend life in prison, the Grand Master Jacques de Molay
courageously raised his voice so that all could hear what he had to
say. The monk admitted to lying in his confession in order to save
himself from the agony of torture; though he knew the fate of those
who retracted confessions, he publicly pronounced the Order's
innocence. More than seventy years old, Molay declared that he would
rather die than live in infamy. One other officer joined Molay, and
the two were burned alive the following morning. Legend says that
Molay cursed Philip and Clement as he died, promising to summon them
to a judgment before God. Both the king and the pope died within the
year.
The triumph and tragedy of the Knights Templar is a historical version
of the Round Table legends. Founded on noble, pure intentions, the
Templar grew into a burgeoning, far-flung institution, but its very
success propelled it toward destruction. The laws of the idealist
orders ask men to be saints, but, as men of the world, they are
vulnerable to sin. This is an essential tension of chivalry,
especially as it emerges in a Christian world. The Knights Templar
represent a chivalric impulse to seek the ideal in the face of
opposition, whether it be the Cid's perfect loyalty, the bottomless
depth of Tristan's and Iseult's love, or the divine goodness of
Christ.
Movie Masons
The movies with Masonry are listed alphabetically with a rating * out
of 5 and a rating # out of 5 on amount of Masonic content. Right after
there is a UM or LM showing if the film is Upper Mason or Lower Mason.
Only twice have a herd the word Mason referring directly with the
craft in a movie. Once with Arnold Swartzneger in Glory Days after
looking at the shape of the apple. And Lone Star the word Mason is
said too. That makes two movies in one eighty years of film. Yes the
word Stone Mason is said in Sparticus in the 1960’s but it was
referring to someone who cuts and works stone. It was not a direct
statement of Freemasonry. Simply just say the word Freemason and there
will be more than two. Two words in eighty years yet Freemasonry is in
almost every Hollywood movie.
2001****** ######. UM. 1968. Starring Keir Dullea, William Sylvester,
Gary Lockwood, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter, directed by Stanley
Kubrick.
Synopsis
An Oblisk first seen with apes on the planet is now on the moon not to
far in the future. A spaceship is dispatched to find out what is wrong
and things go bad.
One of the finest films ever made. We would not have Star Trek and
Star Wars if it was not for this film. A film that will be studied for
years to come.
First, when the Oblisk is found and there is a meeting on a station
orbiting moon the director gives the impression that these are Masons
working almost underground for just Masonry. The leader of the group
states “absolute secrecy”, referring to secrets in Masonry
and the circle of men being Masonic.
Without giving away Blade Runer I talk about eyes being the centre of
a conspiracy and it is here too. At the end of the film one astronaut
is going fast through space and there is a close up of his eye. The
eye or waking up in the film moves to a room representing another
level of waking up to Upper Masonry.
Blade Runner****** ######. LM. 1986. Starring Harrison Ford, Sean
Young, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, Edward James Olmos, directed by
Ridley Scott.
Synopsis
Harrison Ford been hired as an detective to fight worker androids who
have gone out of control and must be stopped as soon as possible.
Phil Collins recently in a 2002 interview said England no longer
relates to him and it reminds him of “Bladerunner”. And he
now lives in Switzerland with a Land Rover. Almost twenty years later
we are still talking about this film. It was way ahead of its time and
still is. If you’re a Gladiator fanatic and love Scott films
renting this on video is well worth it. It still looks like a modern
film. I have a love and hate relationship with the film. It shows the
conflict with Upper and Lower Masons.
I am about to talk eyes, eyes and eyes. It is interesting that if you
look at the cover of the book “Do Androids Dream of Electric
Sheep” which the film is based on you can see reference to the
androids eye. The artist of the cover and author are trying to show
Upper Masons are android-like and have no conscious. That is what I
see on the cover of the book. The film opens up with one of the
character’s eye that plays an android, Rutger Hauer. You can see
his eye than you see Harrison Ford flying towards the eye and a broken
pyramid or a pyramid with top missing (half-pyramid). The half pyramid
represents the freeing of all men from the Pharaohs of Egypt that
enslaved us or in my opinion when the Pharaohs were replaced by Kings
5000 years ago, 3000 B.C.. The Onion and Garlic riots. So, you have
two eyes, one on the cover of the book the film and another at the
opening scene. On the U.S. dollar bill there is a eye too above the
broken half pyramid and this is where the scene is from. It is a
common picture with Upper Masons, the eye producing light above a
pyramid. The film is about two sides that have been fighting for 5000
years. The eyes against the Lower Masons. The eye of Rutger Hauer at
the beginning represents the Upper Masons, the Egyptians, the
Pharaohs. And the police hunting the eyes or the androids are the
Lower Masons, the Greeks.
Charles the first wrote a book Eikon Basilike in 1641 in a desperate
attempt to can public opinion and in the book his favorite picture has
Charles connecting light from his eye to a sacred crown which he
claimed was given by God and the metal crown by his feet representing
less importance (on cover of Book). All said and done, the crown from
heaven is Charles divine rite to be King. It is another reference to
an eye. And the revolution around Charles against Oliver Cromwell
leader of the Puritans is no different than the police fighting
against the robots in Blade Runner. Moreover, any Mason if they talk,
will tell you they oppose the eye people, the other group of Masonry
that is always associated with an eye. The English Civil War was
between the Protestant Baptist/Puritan Freemasons against the powerful
Crown of Charles was documented as a War against the eye people. The
time of Charles is the most hated by Masons. And there being and eye
reference in Charles’s book I write about Charles.
First, the English Civil War can be traced to the War of the Roses.
Fifty years before Charles’s time stood his ancestor Elisabeth
granddaughter of the Lancaster King Henry the sixth. Henry the
sixth’s lifetime was witness to the War of the Roses a enormous
battle between two families over the crown with the House of York. The
blood of this war mixed with John Calvin’s Reformation in
Switzerland wanting extreme Protestantism mixed too with King Henry
the eighth joining in on the reformation mixed to with Oliver Cromwell
having reason to give power back to the people gave way to the English
Civil War. The War of the Roses was no different that the English
Civil War. Two battles between Upper and Lower Masons. Charles and
Henry the sixth being Upper. Both started by Lower Masons looking for
any reason and the reasons for the English Civil War are religious,
are Freemasons wanting power over the people of Britain and Ireland.
Just before the English Civil War in 1639, Freemasons of Southern
United States declared the Mason Dixie line. Charles had given a land
in Pennsylvania to a friend which the Freemasons did not like and
today Pennisvania forms the top of the Dixie Mason line. It is written
that the surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in 1763 formed the
line but did not the names have been made up to hide the word Mason.
The are many links with Charles giving land away in America and there
being an uproar both before his time and after. Just uttering the word
Mason Dixie and a book could be written about the greatest lost of
life in human history. I write about the U.S. civil war in Sweet Home
Alabama. An so many links in Blade Runner you could write until the
sky was full of paper.
In 1642 the Puritans controlled Parliament and they dismantled the
Church of England with the Bishops going in to exile. And in 1645 just
after the end of the Civil War the Archbishop of Canterbury, William
Laud was executed by the Lower Freemasons. A new national church was
set up by the Presbyterians. The Presbyterians today if you visit a
church have been founded by the same principals from this time. After
the new church was formed, Independents of less religious wanted the
church to be separate from the state in other words, the church not to
be involved in government affairs. In 1647 a new prayer book was
printed and the Presbyterians made Christmas, good Friday, Easter and
whitsun a criminal offence. At the same time the Saints calling
themselves the 5th Monarchists claimed the final battle between Christ
and the Anti-Christ was won. Also a new Masonic order for formed for
yeoman and small businessmen called Levelers who objected to the past
legal system and were obsessed with offences against property. The
two, the 5th Monarchists and the Levelers who based on the leveler
used in Masonry did not last in the 1650’s.
And Charles ended up being beheaded in 1649 January 30 and
England’s economy suffered. The English Civil War between
Charles Upper Masonry and Lower Masonry the Protestants with Oliver
Cromwell achieved nothing and in the end a Lower General named Monk
reinstalled Charles’s son as King after winning and killing his
father Charles. The Lower Puritans and all the generals were Puritans
started the war with a cause to help the common man to have more
rights and wealth. In doing so, many died in blain many died fighting
no one but Satan itself the army of evil. England was changed forever
and the King today now had less power. The English Civil War was no
different than the Onion and Garlic riots 5000 years ago, 3000 B.C..
It was about nothing.
A shocking statue Scott put in the film, is the Statue of Liberty on
top of the half-pyramid that Harrison Ford flies to and where the
corporation that makes androids resides. The Liberty Statue too
represents the Lower Mason Onion and Garlic Revolution 5000 years ago,
3000 B.C. that removed the top half of the pyramid or Empire of Upper
Masons. Finding literature about the revolution 5000 years ago, 3000
B.C. is rare indeed. The Statue is what? What do you think it is? I
often was told to look for Masonic secret symbols in the Statue and
for at least 5 years I would look at her pictures and could only see
the pedestal as the only Masonic symbol with two squares overlapping
one another. It is the same symbol on the London Police helmets. With
the Statue on the two squares, or the Statue is above Upper Masonry
and is Lower Masonry. The Statue is a Mockery of Upper Masonry. I
thought of the Statue for a long time. Then one day it hit me reading
Greek Myth. I saw the word Lucifer in the text and then found it
written as parent of King Thallus. That was somewhere is Greece. Then
again I saw Lucifer, Roman for the Greek Venus, Latin Hepser,
Light-Bringer, Dawn-Bringer, Eosphorus, Luciferus. Good God Lucifer is
Venus the morning star in Roman? Venus is also the deity of light. In
Egyptian Myth which has the same Gods but with different names Venus
is known as Uhura Mazda the deity of light. I started to see reference
to light in many other Myths. And any word that ends in zda in Russian
is for star too. Just as Greek Zeus is known in Roman as Jupiter,
Lucifer has different names all over the Eurasia. And the text
sometimes had Lucifer as a Man but I think Mazda is a woman, and
Lucifer is the Statue of Liberty, and besides she is holding light.
Uhura is also the name of the communication officer in the first Star
Trek movies. More to think she is a woman. I am not pushing religion
when I write this and I am not saying look out I just telling you what
the Statue of Liberty is. Lucifer was parent of King Thallus 5500
years year ago in Northern Greece. What she did I don’t know but
Lucifer is very much part of Myth.
I can remember a few years ago working for Lucent Technologies at an
old IBM plant run by Celestica. We were manufacturing three circuit
boards. Magnum, Colombo, and Kojack. Those were the names of the
boards used in switchers for giant mainframes that control phone
systems in big city areas. Point being while on the vollyball team we
sat down and formed a circle just before a match and the head of the
department, I mean the highest captain in my area asked us what should
we call the team? I raised my hand and thought maybe I’ll get
noticed and get invited into the executive side of the company. I also
thought being fired too but I had no kids and why not. So there I was.
“Jon you have something to say.” “Ya how about
Lucent Lucifers”. My manager’s jaw dropped. I was going
down I mean down baby down. She was not impressed. I did not dare
explain Lucent was from the word Lucifer. Now that you know the word
you will see it time to time. It is everywhere more than any other
Roman Myth. Even translucent which is the glowing paper is from
Lucifer, deity of light.
“Lucifer sails upon roseate wings.” (Valerius Flaccus
Argonautica, 200 A.D.)
"Erigenia [Eos] bare [to Astraios] the star Eosphorus (Dawn-bringer),
and the other gleaming Astra (Stars) with which heaven is crowned."
(Theogony, 3 A.D.)
“And as a star moves among stars in the night’s darkening,
Hesperos, who is the fairest star who stands in the sky.”
(Iliad, 3000 B.C.)
“Her beauty shines forth in gleaming splendour like Eosphoros,
beyond all other lights of heaven.” (Pindar Isthmian, 200 A.D.)
"Hesperos, bringing everything that shining Eos scattered, you bring
the sheep, you bring the goat, you bring back the child to its mother.
[Hesperos] the fairest of all astera (stars)." (Greek Lyric I Sappho,
1550)
'The Eosphoros (Dawn-bringer, ie the Morning-star) and Hesperos
(Evening-star) are one and the same, although in ancient times they
were thought to be different. Ibycus of Rhegium was the first to
equate the titles." (Greek Lyric III Ibycus, 1603)
"We waited for the Dawn-Star (astera meinamen), air-roaming
(aerophoitas), white-winged (leukopteryga) fore-runner of the sun."
(Greek Lyric IV Ion of Chios, 1602)
"Ceyx a son of Eosphoros." (Apollodorus, 300 B.C.)
“Hesperos from the clouds marks the time of its coming [the
festival of Demeter called the Thesmophoria]: Hesperos, who alone
persuaded Demeter to drink, what time she pursued the unknown tracks
of her stolen daughter [Persephone].” (Callimachus, 100 A.D.)
“Hesperos of the curling locks looks down upon thee.”
(Callimachus, 100 A.D.)
"The Lokrians and Ozolai; and they have the star Hesperos engraved on
their public seal." (Strabo, 300 B.C.)
"[Apollon] let loose an arrow which landed inside the Gardens of
Hesperos (the Evening Star) [at the Western-most end of the earth]. "
(Babrius, 100 B.C.)
“But we must not fail to mention what the myths relate about
Atlas and about the race of the Hesperides. The account runs like
this: In the country known as Hesperitis there were two brothers whose
fame was known abroad, Hesperos and Atlas. These brothers possessed
flocks of sheep which excelled in beauty and were in colour of a
golden yellow, this being the reason why the poets, in speaking of
these sheep as mela, called them golden mela. Now Hesperos begat a
daughter named Hesperis, who he gave in marriage to his brother and
after whom the land was given the name Hesperitis; and Atlas begat by
her seven daughters, who were named after their father Atlantides, and
after their mother Hesperides.” (Diodorus Sicululs, 1000 A.D.)
“Ceyx, son of Hesperus (also called Luciferus).” (Hyginus,
300 B.C.)
Long time ago, 5500 years ago five guys and a woman sat on a beach
around a picnic table in Northern Greece. That is the story. One said
“I have an idea, why don’t we say Lucifer is God and get
everywhere to worship Lucifer.” And an Empire was born. More to
it that that but I was not there. The air of Lucifer bleed to Cairo
and took down an Empire, Egypt collapsed. Whenever I see a half
pyramid I think of something falling apart. With the Statue of Liberty
on top of the pyramid with the top missing is just more fuel on the
fire that Lucifer was worshipped when Egypt fell 5000 years ago, 3000
B.C. Why is this not in text. As I said in the History of Freemasonry
the first section, throw your history books out. More proof of
Freemasonry being Greek in Origin and influencing the Egyptians
therefore there would be different foundations with Freemasonry Lower
being Greek than Upper Mason Egyptian. Just the title of the book,
Greek Origin of Freemasonry says it all that Greese not Egypt is the
cradle of Freemasonry. With so many names of deity of light there may
be one more as said in this great book, Hermes hence the word too,
her, a female word.
The book states Hermes “was one of the twelve Gods, a chthonion
deity and most important of the Cabeiri. Like H.A. he was the symbol
of light and darkness, day and night, life and death. Hermes was the
founder of Freemasonry. His emblematic blue color still adorns the
borders of our insignia, and on meeting rooms are called “Blue
Lodges”” (Greek Origin Of Freemasonry, page 16)
It does say he and not her but I think if it is written her the secret
that Lucifer is a woman would be given away. Herus too a Egyptian God
with the head of a bird and a circle always above is to associated
with the morning star and with part of the word her it is Lucifer too
or the influence of after the revolution.
That is quite a bit for a movie so far. Harrison has even landed his
spaceship and we are still talking. Later in the film a person is
being question and they are trying to find out if he is an android by
asking questions and analysising his eyes with a machine. Another
reference to an eye. “Tell me about your mother” ask to
officer and the android replys ”I’ll tell you about your
mother” and a fight ensues. Here you have the Lower Free against
the Upper Masons. Ridley Scott is an Lower Mason so you have he side
of what he sees here. Ridley must claim Uppers are crazy.
Harrison find the andriods and one by one a terminates them.
Scott’s idea of dealing with Upper Masons. In the end, Harrison
falls in love with Sean Young who plays an andriod. I don’t know
what that was suppose to give us an impression of, tame the Upper
Masons? Between you and me, I love reading about Masonry, Israel,
Greece Myth but this movie as much as I like shows the hatred between
the two groups. How long is this to go on for?
Gladiator****** ###. LM. 2000. Starring Russel Crowe, Richard Harris,
Joquin Phonix, directed by Ridley Scott.
synopsis
Russel Crowe plays Maximus general of Northern Armies all Rome. After
the Emperor dies (Richard Harris) Maximus and Commodus (Joequin
Pheoix) fight to be Emperor. Maximus ends up as a Gladiator fighting
his way to Rome.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Maybe the music or the high
emotion triggering every man to stand up for his rights. I liked the
last line of the movie the most “but not yet”. Referring
to when we are free.
Marcus Antoninus Philosophus in Latin or Marcus Aurelius the
Philosopher ruled Rome from 161 to 180 A.D. Bore a son Commodus who
ruled 180 to 192 A.D. who was one of the worse rulers of Roman
history. This is well said in Gladiator. The story of this time is
better said in the film than in Roman history books. The dates and
stories are different than the film. Remember when I said at the
beginning of the book throw out your history books, well, now is the
time. I say that because research in university and public libraries
is from non-Masons. And Masons write history different with more
information. Even an earlier Gladiator film in the 60’s has
Maximus playing the story similar to this story. Historians state that
Commodus died strangled in a bathtub by Narcissus a athlete. It is not
so he died fighting a gladiator and in doing so it was the beginning
of the end for Rome. Maximus is so loved by Masons, Napoleon added the
word Maximum to the French Metric Standard because so. Some say
Commodus was the reason of the fall of the Empire, his death. So it is
then said Maximus brought down the Empire. Commodus had such a weak
throne it dissolved Rome. This is seen in the film. Not only was
Commodus not killed by an athlete Commodus was killed by a general
named Maximus who was put into a Gladiator’s suit and made a
slave of Rome.
The biggest impact Marcus Aurelius has on us today is a diary
Meditations written which serves as one of the unions between the
Republic and the Bible. Marcus Aurelius was a Lower Mason. Marcus
Aurelius wanted the general Maximus to take control of Rome just as he
did from Antoninus who was not his father. Masonry was sneaking back
into Europe and Maximus was the new light for the Latiums. Masons and
Israel were persucuted during this time and were always looking for a
return. Lower Mason Xerxes lost the last Mason Empire, Persia, in 479
B.C. and gave way to Rome rising up and Lower Masons owe to Maximus
for bringing down Rome.
Marcus Aurelius is also known as one of the five good emperors, Nerva,
Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus, with. There could have been six with
Commodus but not. There were twelve leaders including Caesar after
Caesar and just five have been defined as good all succeeding one
another. They were all known as the twelve Caesars including Commodus.
Some history food for the brain. As I said earlier it get gets Mythy
before 500 B.C. The date of the Trojan War I am not sure maybe 8000
years ago maybe 750 B.C. In any event the Achaeans who sacked Troy are
the descendants of the Persian Empire of Cyrus to Xerxes. See the Mask
of Zorro. As the Achaeans won the Trojans fled and built Rome. Going
back to the fall of Troy, it was written that Mars fled Troy and
headed for present day Morocco and landed on a beach there. Mars fell
in love with a princess and as he was leaving, the princess killed
herself and Mars on the horizon of the sea as he headed for Italy the
Latiums, could see her funeral fire. The legend of Rome has Mars
attacking the West Coast of Italy against the Latiums, the original
tribe of central Italy. Mars had two son’s Romulus and Remus
who founded Rome around 700 B.C. but I think it was earlier. The
Latiums were soon integrated by the Romans.
Romulus was the first King followed by Numa Pomilius, Tullius
Hostilius, then Ancus Marcius, Servius Tullius, and Tarquinius
Superbus. Superbus was the last King but was the first to have Roman
colonies. There are different stories of the Kings of Rome being good
and bad but Rome were good and it was not until Julius Caesar did Rome
do evil. Since Superbus’s son was involved in a rape and the
Family was forced into exile by Brutus the same name who killed Julius
Caesar. Rome became a Republic soon after the exile and the Senate
ruler Rome and it was not until the famous Caesar revolt that things
changed again. The fourth King of Rome was Latium showing a true bond
between the Trojans, yes I said it, and the Latiums. And the Latin
language was taken too. Rome soon grew north and every year took a a
new state surronding it and soon by 100 B.C controlled the
Medditerean. If Romans were from Troy, neighboring Athenians took down
Rome’s enemy Achaeans Persia and Troy was back as a supreme
power.
Rome became a Republic that is controlled by the senate after the
Superbus Rape. Power after the fall of the King was given to two
consuls at first named praetors which later became an office to
protect the Empire, a personal army. The consuls rules for one year
and there were two of them. Rome was never a democracy as the Greeks
would see it and power was with the patricians during the Republic
times. Just before the time of Christ, Rome became Dark and it was all
from the thinkings of Julius Caesar. There are striking similarities
with Adolph Hitler. Both came to power and attacked Israel Jews and
Freemasons. It is thought 1.5 million Masons went to the camps in WW2
and 3 million Jewish people. Hitler had the cry Hail Hitler from Hail
Caesar. Hitler copied everything Caesar did and as Caesar adopted
Augustus who took the name Caesar there were 10 more Caesars with
Hitler possibly as the thirteenth Caesar. In the film as Commodus is
driving his chariot into the coliseum Spielberg ads a
Hitler-type-feeling to the cinema. Black, cloudy, and the rally was
just as Hitler had in WW2.
Near the beginning of the film still in armor Maximus is preying to
his family and has little statues of his family with candles that is a
Masonic ceremony. As I said earlier Masonry, Buddhism and Zorro
Temples are the same so it does look Buddhist. He does another
ceremony too after his aid returns his statues at the end of the film.
In 2003 on Opra, Russel Crowe is talking about good books to read for
people not grounded and he brings out a Buddhist book to recommend.
Near the end when Maximus is a Gladiator in Africa there is a scene
where he is sitting and resting just before he goes to Rome, on a
Medina in Fez. A famous Mason city. It is here for thousands of years
the Shrinner lived and lost to Rome 300 B.C. and won it back in 600
A.D. with Mahomid and his cruisands. See Star Wars.
And at the end after Maximus dies his slave friend places
Maximus’s statues in the earth and says “but not
yet”. Referring to the day we will all be free or be Freemasons,
Lower.
Just one more thing. Yes one more thing. I was in Fez Morocco looking
at my guide book which ahd pictures of a Roman Temple just outside of
the city. The God Neptune was worshipped. It hit me like stone from a
tree. Athens when the Achaeans attacked Troy worshipped a group of
Greek Gods and Troy, Trojan such as Apollo and Mars. Rome worshipped
at its beginnings the same as Troy and what struck me is that when the
Emperors came to power so did different Gods. There was a switch to
Greek Gods or the Gods that attacked Troy. Almost as if there were two
groups with different Gods fighting one another and there are, Upper
and Lower. Lower being the Emperors of Rome. There is contradiction
but Constantine came to by revolution so there is no contradiction.
Constantine worshipped Apollo and some saw the worship set the
foundation for the Christian church and it is not Christ we worship
but Apollo, God the of the sun, that is, today the Roman Catholic.
Upper Masons worship the Trojans and the Lower Greeks.
Magnolia*****#####. LM. 1999. John C. Reilly, Julianne Moore, Philip
Baker Hall, Tom Cruise, Jason Robards, directed by Paul Thomas
Anderson.
I loved the sound track to this movie. I hate to say it but Tom Cruise
is always in a good movie. Maybe I am jealous maybe I am not maybe I
think he is to Hollywood. The movie is all about reconciliation and
forgiveness between Cruise who plays Frank and his father, Earl
Partridge a name taken from the Partridge Family TV show.
The nine stories are centred around Earl Partridge. They are all
connected and related to one another. The film’s structure
starts with a brand new day and ends with the death of the father Earl
at nightime. Earl wants Phil his nurse to find his son, Frank T.J.
Mackey as seen on the advertisements on the TV. Earl is also the owner
of the TV show, What Kid’s Know where Stanely is a key
contestant. Linda is Earl’s wife. Jimmy Gator works for Earl and
as we are told molested his daughter, Claudia who is dating the
policeman. As the story unfolds the connections of the characters I
noticed are like a wheel with Earl at the hub.
When Phil the nurse puts the morphine into Earl’s mouth it
brings everyone together and Earl dies. As the rain pours down the
nine characters scream pain and you know it is not going to stop. The
falling frogs are taken from the bible, Exodus, Book 8, where the
frogs descend from the sky punishing the Pharaoh for betraying Moses
and the Hebrews for the land of Egypt. Also, Magnolia is from the
street Magnolia Blvd. in the San Bernardo Valley.
Jimmy Gator who runs the gameshow is behind a curtain just before the
game show. There is a hand on a shoulder and on the hand is a Masonic
ring. If you look carefully it is the same image of figure 5. Also too
behind the contestants behind them are Masonic images as well. Tome
Cruise is a Mason and I’ll never know why he is always on the
anti-Mason side. Masons don’t look good in this film and you
have to wonder why Cruise does what he does.
They say the film is unconventional but I like to think it stretched
what we normally see and things often tried and failed in other films
worked in this one like breaking into musical lyric when there is pain
with the characters has never been done in any other film.
The Mask of Zorro**** ######. LM. 1997. Starring Anthony Hopkins,
Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, directed by Steven Spielberg.
Synopsis
Two Zorros, one the father and one winning the heart of Zeta-Jones,
are the legendary masked heros in California before the U.S. took the
state.
I thought that there since Hopkins has Masonry in every movie a book
on just Hopkins could be written. In any event, a have just put a few
Hopkins movies in HMwF but in later editions there could be more.
One scene had Hopkins looking in water in his left eye and splashing
it as if he does not like the eye and is about to go after the Upper
Masonic eye. See Bladrunner. I talk about the eye being associated
with Upper Masonry and Hopkins is a Lower Mason fighting Upper Roman
Catholics. Another Masonic symbol is the necklace Antonio receives as
a boy from Hopkins and then later Hopkins sees the necklace on
Antonio. The necklace has a compass and square ruler on it. And the
training cave where there is a circle is made from a compass and
square ruler.
The word Zorro the fighter is Mexican who leaves a z here and there is
not a rebel but a fantasy Mason underground against the Spanish
Colonial Government trying to rise up and take power which it did
during the Mexican Revolution against Spain. And the word Zorro is
from a religion from an old Mason Achaemenid Persian Empire.
One day on the couch I was watching the Mask of Zorro with a great
book, World Religions of Man from university and I looked at the word
Zorro on the cover of the movie and remembered a similar word from my
studies in the religious book, World Religions of Man. I brain ran to
the text and looked up Zorro and there it was with Zoroastrianism, the
religion of the Persian Empire 500 B.C. I nearly had another heart
attack. At university I always wondered why Masonry was not in the
text of the book and why it was nowhere. I soon went through all of
Hopkins movies and noticed a pattern. Hopkins loves Persia and hated
Rome. Two enemies in history. Zoroastrianism was Masonry. Zorro is in
the film and not the word Mason. There is a reason for this and the
reason is a dark one. In all of Hopkins films Hopkins has Masonry but
hides it with old words.
As I said in the first section, What is Freemasonry, Masonry is
Zorroastoism and is Buddhism. I proved this by showing all three have
the same funerals and have a building called Temple. All three share
scripture too that is the same but in different languages.
Zorroastoism can be found in the Persian Achaemenid Empire who traced
there forefather to the Achaeans who found the Trojans in the Iliad.
That is where the word Achaemenid is from, Troy. The Achaemenid Empire
was the biggest Lower Mason Empire known to Masons. It stretch from
North Africa to the Indus Valley of India. What happened to this
Empire?
The post of this Empire also gave Masons no name in history and the
right to say Mason today. Most Masons will say it can be traced to the
arrival of a new Athenian fleet in the Aegean sea in 479 B.C.
defeating Xerxes who was King of Achaemenid Persia. Achaemenid Persia
controlled everyone between North Africa and the Indus Valley. It was
the largest empire in the history of man. The sea battle was the
beginning of the end for Persia. A few years later Alexander The Great
controlled Greece and took over Persia sending the Persians to India.
Persian’s main religion too, Zoroastrianism was pushed away far
to Bombay. Zoroastrianism was founded by Zarathustra or Zarthost is
also referred to by the name Zoroaster in western texts is the Prophet
to Zorrastrianism who I feel is Mazda the deity of light. Xerxes was
sucessor to Darius one and two who were successor to Cambyses who was
successor to Cyrus founder in 539 B.C. in what today is Iran. Cambyses
had most of the victories. Zorroastrianism as I said was the main
religion with prophets writing that the Skypeople or people from the
sky would appear in giant circles formed on the ground to save all.
After the sea battle in the Aegean Sea it was a turning point in Mason
history. Athens became a power city and it was the beginning of the
end for Persia and the Zorros. In 447 Sophists started to argue that
Myth was erroneous and it was also around this time democracy was
discussed in Athens and soon Athens gave rise to the greatest
intellects of our history, Gorgias, Prodicus, Plato and Aristotle.
With literature, poetry, the idea of molecules and many other ideas,
all is from our centre Athens. If Xerxes won the sea battle in 479
B.C. we would have a different society, Zorro Masonry with different
science and different intellects. That is the Lower Mason’s
view, how they lost in history.
More, soon after 479 B.C. the Delian League rose in Greece. There were
many civil wars up to the time of Socrates who was executed in 399
B.C. Sparta controlled Athens during the time of Socrates and Plato
wrote The Republic based on the Spartans. Plato was the teacher of
Aristotle who was a teacher to Alexander the Great. Alexander became
King of Macedonia in 336 B.C. who’s father in 359 B.C. Philip
was King. Alexander took over all the East Mediterranean to the Indus
Valley between 334 to 326 B.C. Darius the third, successor of Xerxes
died from Alexander’s forces in 330. The fight may have been
Upper Masonry Greece fighting Lower Masonry Persia. The Sophist too
may have been Upper Masons proving Lower Masons wrong. We may live in
an Upper Mason society because of this revolutionary thought during to
war. Alexander died in Babylon and as Pharaoh of Egypt in 323 B.C.
Soon after the Empire was divided by Alexander’s generals and
for 300 years held power slowly being integrated by Upper Mason Rome
and ending with the death of Pharaoh Cleopatria in 46 B.C. killed by
Augustus adopted son of Julius Caesar. It is not Masons we should fear
or an enemy it is being between the two sides Upper and Lower during a
war.
In the Laws one of Platos works, Plato writes that Xeres suffered the
same virtues as he did he was victim of his education at the court and
unlike his father Darius, who was not a son of king. And he goes on to
say that it is almost impossible for someone raised in an extremely
rich family to become virtuous, and to explain thus why there was no
other great king of Persia after Darius. (Laws, 410 B.C.).
All Lower Masons in the order for a long time always talk about this
battle and how they lost and are always getting ready to comeback. One
way Masons mock this time is to ask new Masons “What is the
Philosophy of hockey”. Philosophy is from the word Sophist. Your
not suppose to say it brings the bond of brothers in a spritial way
like a house…. or anything else. What you should say is that
Philosophy killed our brothers 2500 years ago with the thinking of
Sophist, the peers of Socrates. If you say that your in but I ask how
are you suppose to know this. I have seen this asked with new Masons
not getting the secret message. It is a terrible way to communicate.
“Thus did the Trojans watch. But Panic, comrade of
blood-stained Rout, had taken fast hold of the Achaeans and their
princes were all of them in despair. As when the two winds that blow
from Thrace- the north and the northwest- spring up of a sudden and
rouse the fury of the main- in a moment the dark waves uprear their
heads and scatter their sea-wrack in all directions even thus troubled
were the hearts of the Achaeans.” (Illiad, 3000B.C.)
But read about Troy it is in your old Myth books. It is thought indeed
Troy existed and the Persians during the time of Xerxes were in fact
descendants of the Achaean Armies that left Greece for Troy. A Mason
library is completely different than a public library. The victory of
Troy is Masonry’s greatest victory and the Sophists brought down
their new Empire and it was the Sophists that gave rise to Rome later
and it the Romans who claim to be descendants of Troy. Mars fled Troy
and founded Rome with his son Romulus.
In the middle of the sixth century BCE, the Achaemanid clan of the
Persians was headed by Cyrus, who ruled, under Median domination, as
sub-king of Parsa, or Persis. In 553 BCE Cyrus led a revolt that
resulted in the overthrow of the Median ruler and the rise to the
power of the Achaemenids. A close union of Persians and Medes soon
followed, and an army drawn from these tribal groups embarked on a
series of successful campaigns that resulted in the establishment of
the first world Empire.
The Medo-Persian army reached the Aegean Sea opposite Greece in 546
BCE, captured Babylon in 539, and sized Egypt a decade later. Cyrus
proved to be a wise ruler and a generous victor. The Jews called him
the Messiah, and later Greek writers praised his sagacity. His son,
Cambyses II, died violently in 522 BCE, leaving the kingdom rent by
civil war, during which a false pretender, Smerdis or Gaumata,
temporarily mounted the throne. In a brilliant two-year campaign,
520-518 BCE, Darius I, claimed kingship to Achaements, reunited the
country, recording his feats on the famous Behistuen rock carving. His
rule was long and noteworthy. Herodotus gives detailed figures on the
organization of the immense realm called "the land of the Aryans" or
Eranshahar, the largest world has seen up to that time. The new
capital, called by the Greeks Persepolis, was adorned with exquisitely
beautiful rock carvings depicting the glories and wealth of his realm.
It is also fairly well established that at his court there lived
Zoroaster, one of the greatest of the Aryan-speaking prophets, whose
teachings were eventually codified in the sacred books know as the
Zend-Avesta. Because some Greeks encouraged the Ionians to revolt in
Asia Minor (499-494 BCE), Darius sent two punitive forces to punish
them. The first army was only partly successful, but the second was
overwhelmed at Marathon in 490 BCE. A more ambitious to subjugate the
Greeks was attempted by Xerxes, but after a navel disaster at Salamis
in 480 BCE and a decimation of the land forces at Plataea the next
year, the invading forces were withdrawn to the shores of Asia Minor.
Vastness of the kingdom, degeneration of royal line, and the ambitions
of powerful satraps combined, brought about a decentralization of
authority in spite of good post roads and an originally enlightened
provincial policy. The effort of Cyrus the Younger, satrap of Asia
Minor, to size the throne in 401 BCE resulted in the retreat of the
ten thousand Greek mercenaries described by Xenophon. This incident
also revealed the weakness and wealth of the empire, temporarily held
together by Artaxerxes III.
The Achaemenid Empire cam to an end when Alexander the Great defeated
the forces of the last ruler in pitched battles and moved on to Susa
and Persepolis, where the vast royal treasures were plundered and
taken. At Persepolis the structures of the platform were burned to the
ground. Fire destroyed the wooden roofs and brick walls of the
buildings, and in the course of the following centuries a considerable
depth of debris accumulated over the site. Only a few of the lofty
stone columns and a number of the stone doorways made a landmark of
the site.
Darius, who became king of the Achaemenid Empire in 521 BCE, ordered
construction work at Persepolis in southwestern Iran just two years
later. Work was carried on intermittently at the site until 337 BCE.
Susa, Babylon, and Ecbatana were the political and commercial centers
of the Empire. Persepolis, however, situated in the homeland of the
Achaemenids was its spiritual center. It was the site of the royal
treasury, and every spring the kings came in state to celebrate the
festival of the New Year.
The site of Persepolis is a low rocky spur jutting out from a line of
low hills; it faces west and overlooks a broad, fertile plane. This
spur was first cut down to create a level platform area. From the
plain below a great double reversing staircase leads up to the
platform, and once ended at an entrance gate with very high walls
which enclosed the entire platform. Beyond the gate which, along with
the enclosing walls, now has disappeared, was the portico of "all
lands." This structure was built by Xerxes, the son and successor of
Darius, and still stands today. The portico building is square in plan
with four interior columns and with portals guarded by huge
human-headed, winged bulls of stone.
To the south of the portico of Xerxes are the remains of the great
apadana, or audience hall, built under Darius and Xerxes. The
retaining wall of the hall and its double stair are of stone decorated
with incised reliefs. These reliefs depict both the Persian Guards in
their distinctive Persian and Median dress and long lines of the
subject peoples of the Empire bringing offerings of the most typical
products of their provinces for the New Year festival. The hall once
contained six rows of six columns supporting a flat roof, but only a
few of these lofty stone columns still stand, and the entrance
porticoes of the hall have long since vanished.
To the east of the apadana are the ruins of the "hall of one hundred
columns," an audience hall constructed during the reign of Xerxes.
Only column bases and stone door-jambs decorated with incised reliefs
remain. Behind and to the south of the hall of Xerxes are the
excavated lower walls of the royal treasury constructed by Darius.
Adjacent to the treasury is the harem, or women's quarters, of Darious
and Xerxes. The foundation walls of this structure was excavated and
then rebuilt according to its original plan. Now it is a museum to
house the precious objects found at the site. At the southwestern
corner of the platform are the remains of a number of small royal
palaces: the tachara of Darius; the hadish of Xerxes; the palace of
Artaxerxes III; and an unidentified palace.
The structures at Persepolis indicate that Achaemenid architecture was
a cosmopolitan, eclectic style in which elements and details from many
lands had been absorbed and joined. Assyria supplied the concept of
the royal structure on a raised platform, certain of the plan forms,
the use of colossal bulls, and the composition and style of the
incised reliefs. Egyptian architecture furnished specific decorative
elements and the profiles of certain of the moldings. Achaemenid
inscriptions record that workmen were drawn from every part of the
vast empire, as were the materials used, including cedars carried a
great distance overland from the famous groves of Lebanon.
Cut into the hill behind the platform on which Persepolis was built
are the tombs of Artaxerxes II, Artaxerxes III, and Darius III, at
Naksh-i-Rustam, only three miles from Persepolis. High up carved into
the cliff are the rock-cut tombs of Darius, Xerxes, Artaxerxes I, and
Darius II. These rock-cut facades, descendants of the Median type,
display four engaged columns bearing an elaborate entablature.
Naksh-I-Rustam is also the site of the so-called Ka'aba-I-Zardusht, a
tower-like structure similar to the one at Pasargadae but in a much
better state of preservation.
The excavations at Susa brought to light the plan of an extensive
palace built during the reign of Darius. This in all probability is
the structure described in the Book of Esther, i:2-6.
Masters and Commanders****###. LM. 2003. Starring Russell Crowe, Paul
Bettany, Ian Mercer, James D'Arcy, John Desantis, directed by Peter
Weir.
Synopsis
Russel Crowe is Jack Aubrey or Gladiator on the high seas during
Napoleanic Wars. Aubrey must find and destroy the Acharon a French
Warship with twice as many guns as the Surprise, Aubrey’s ship.
Russel Crowe is unbelievable again in a War film. Not since Gladiator
has Crowe done a war film. This indeed is Gladiator or Rome on the
high seas. The film is based on the tenth book in Patrick O'Brian's
legendary "Aubrey/Maturin" series about the British navy during the
Napoleonic Wars.
First there French warship is named Acharon and is from the word
Achaean, Achilles’ army in the battle of Troy. See The Mask of
Zorro. There I discuss the Achaean army that destroys Troy and becomes
the Achaemenid Persian Empire of Iran and was the last Mason Empire.
Napoleans’s Empire is Masonic. Lower Masons claim the
Enlightment gave way a new age of intellects. That is, the French
Revolution and the American Revolution brought change unseen for
Masons for a long time. A Mason once told me Masonry started during
this time. That is ridiculous. With the British as Masons too it is
hard to understand what Masons are doing but the British are Upper
Masons and the French and American are Lower Masons. The American
Upper Masons will win the civil war over the Lower 60 years later and
Napoleon will be defeated by the British and Prussian forces at
Waterloo.
Napoleon Bonaparte wanted France to be a European power and to control
all of our Europe. He had taken over the First Republic of France in
1799 and made himself Consul and Emperor in 1804. In 1802 the French
Republic was officially recognized and an agreement called the Peace
of Amiens signed. Napoleon wanted many things and Europe by conquering
other countries including Britain.
150 years earlier during the English War that set the soil for the
French and American Revolution by Lower Masons but it was the Upper
Mason British that won over Napoleon and French. So why do Lower
Masons claim victory about this time and call it the Enlightment? It
is a mistake to call the revolution of France a victory because
eventually they lost just as the English Civil War was lost too. Not
lost during the conflict but soon after.
It may seem strange Lower Masons winning and then stepping down. I
have been next to discussions at a Mason’s club asking the same
fact. Why Lower Masons don’t hold onto power when they win wars?
With Crowe a Lower Mason, why is not on a French Ship? Why is he on a
ship that destroyed his brothers? Why is there not a movie about this?
It is the biggest contradiction in Hollywood films when this happens.
Darwin’s journey was put into this film. It was not actually
Darwin but the ship’s doctor. Walking across the volcanic
Galapagos Archipelago and documenting the species put you back to a
time before the time of evolutionary thought and before Darwin’s
Beagle in the Galapagos Archipelago. Darwin was a Mason and today
Lower Mason’s claim Darwin thought brought down Christianity and
gave Masons a goof argument against Anti-Mason Christians.
Star Trek 1960-1994***** #####. LM. 1960-1994. Starring William
Shatner, Lenard Nemoy.
Lucas claims that Star Wars may have been the first Movie with Myth
(Masonry) but Star Trek was the first to be about Myth Masonry but was
on TV.
First, Vulcan is God of Fire in Roman Myth although first given a name
in Greek Myth and is where Vulcan became Supreme Ruler of all the Gods
killing Zeus and was the last to be supreme ruler. Hence the words
Volcano an Vulture a sacred bird in Masonry. As I said in the first
section in Zorro, Buddhism, and Masonry the funerals are the same and
the corpse is eaten by the vulture. Second, Uhura the communications
officer always behind Captain Kirk is from the word Uhara Mazda the
deity of light in Egyptian Myth or named Hermes in Greek Myth and
Lucifer in Roman Myth. The Masonry in Star Trek changed from Lower
Masonry to Upper Masonry at the beginning of Next Generations. The
Romulans are from the word Romulus the founder of Rome who had
ancestors that fought against Vulcan and the Greeks at Troy.
Recently Leonard Nimoy came out with photographs of instruments used
in Judaism by Rabbis with the models wrapping or degrading the
instruments. There was one picture of the Female Goddess moving white
cloth back in forth. The gallery was named Shekhina, after the female
Goddess. Nimoy used tools of Upper Masonry and put light on Lower
Masonry in the pictures. There was an enormous uproar among Jewish
groups. As I said in the first section, two groups of Jewish people
exist today mainly because of King Solomon took a different religion
than his father King David. And today Nimoy has a different Jewish
religion than another group of Jewish people. Finding information on
Shekhina is difficult. I have seen saunse literature with references
to light or white moving fire. But not in Jewish Orthodox texts which
would never print the text or talk about it, since they think it is
evil. There are two of everything.
Each story near the beginning of the series did not have Masonic plots
but Masonic Myth names.

Star Trek Next Generations****** #####. UM. 1994-2003. 4-6 Starring
Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael
Dorn, movies directed by David Carson, Jonathan Frakes, Stuart Baird.
synopsis
4 films follow the crew of Star Trek through 4 different times.
Generations, captian Kirt and Picard must stop a madman from
destroying a planet to enter a space anomoly. First Contact, Captian
Picard with the crew of the enterprise go back in time to stop the
Borg from stopping Earth’s first contact with Alien life.
Insurrection, an Eden-like planet is found with Star Fleet and an old
tribe that used to live on the planet trying to harm the biological
effects the planets produces. Nemesis, the crew of the Enterprise on a
peace mission to Romulian territory come across a planet that Picard
meets his personal nemesis.
I dedicated this book to Patrick Stuart and rightly so. Star Trek
before 1985 was Lower Masonic and then Gene Roddenbery change his mood
to Upper Masonry and you can see the change from how the first Star
Trek in the 1960’s moved from Lower and to Next
Generations(1988-1995), Upper.
There was a historical turning point for Masonry and Star Trek on Jay
Leno in 1994 just before Star Trek: Generations came out, the night
before. Patrick Stuart was explaining to Jay Leno that he was picked
up Carrie Fisher on a jet in New York and during the flight Patrick
Stuart told Carrie Fisher who was in Star Wars, the two films should
come together. Jay Leno started insulting Stuart and Stuart screamed
“What is the meaning of this”. Stuart was referring to
what I call Upper and Lower Masonry coming together and Star Trek and
Star wars too. In the next Star Wars 1 Picard, Stuart’s name in
Star Trek, is one of the villain’s names. The villains fight the
Jedis on the mother ship, has a name Picard, with a Chinese mob accent
too. A real insult the Star Trek crew. And for the first time the Dark
side is called the Federation the same name for Picard’s forces
in Star Trek. Lucas sees Star Trek as Roman Upper Mason-like, he must.
With the Star Trek going away from Lower Masonry and to Upper Masonry
Lucas must have seen the change into Star Wars 1.
The emblem they wear on their chest is very Masonic. Early in the Next
Generations there is a compass and oval was worn which turned into a
rotating rectangle with a compass. In the 1960’s just a compass
was worn but with the 4 by 5 by 3 Pythagoras theory (the square roor
of 4 plus the square root of 9 equals the square root of 5) inside the
compass with Pythagoras once a Mason from Italy 800 B.C. But the Next
Generations added the image of the oval. It is from a square ruler if
you place the square ruler on top of it you can see a pattern. See
pictures. And the rotating rectangle worm later with Next Generations
allows the compass to rotate and is Upper Mason.
In Star Trek there is much Myth, the Romulans have a name from Romulus
founder of Rome and are the most evil. One crew member is named Troy,
spelled Troi, after the city that fell to the Achaeans and Tom Paris
on Voyager is from Myth, Paris who was on the side of Troy and started
the war of Troy.
With the Romulans as Romulus, the Klingons are suppose to be Russian
in the 1900’s but in a future kind of way. When the Berlin Wall
came down in the 1980’s a Star Trek film was released with the
Klingons loosing there power energy moons and a treaty being signed by
the two nations, Klingons and Federations, bringing the two together
was similar to the United States and Soviet Union signing treaties. It
is said in science fiction that if you want to see yourselfs and see
yourself in the future write put your times into the script. Not only
does Gene Roddenbury bring in Myth to Star Trek but too brings in
world events of our time to show us who we are and to let us look at
ourselves. It is one of the secrets of science fiction. Therefore each
group in Star Trek is to show us our neighbors on earth in present
day.
In the series there is much Masonry. The best episode with Masonry was
in the final season. In the seventh year Episode 12. Data starts
having nightmares on the Enterprise and soon his dreams starts
changing the ship. Data sees a blacksmith and a Vulture flying. The
vulture this is from Vulcan the Blacksmith God, God of Fire, who
interestingly look the title Supreme and is Supreme Ruler of Mt.
Olympus and all the Gods. Blacksmith is always associated with Masonry
and Vulcan. It is thought in Masonry that being a blacksmith and
allowing Vulcan to control you gave better craftsmanship.
Another TV episode that had good Masonry was in Deep Space Nine
episode 30 in the fifth year, Ezri is assigned to capture a killer
madmen on the loose. Ezri does this by looking in her eye and in the
mirror. It reminded me of, right away, of Masonry Shinto in Japan
where a mirror is a common instrument with religious practice. Ezri
uses the mirror to contact a heavenly body to find the madmen. An
angel-like person arrives and helps Ezri find the Vulcan who is
stalking and shooting at other Federation officers.
In the film Generations I did notice a link to 2001. Riker states that
there is to be absolute secrecy referring to the 2001 scene with men
in suits and a Mason-like atmosphere.
More Masonry in the film Generations concerns Soran the villain in
Gerations trying to kill Kirt and Picard. Soran want badly to go back
to Nexis the body of energy that works across the universe like a jet
stream. The body or mass I very similar to Nexis the devine being in
Buddhism only attended by pure belief and relaxation.
The four colors of the uniforms, green, blue, red and yellow are not
by coincidence the four colors on any Masonic emblem. It is thought in
Masonry that these four colors are colors of the each of the four
souls.

Star Wars 1,2,4,5,6***** #####. LM. 1977-2002. 4-6 Starring Alec
Guinness, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing,
written and directed by George Lucas.
synopsis
Hollywood’s first movie about Myth or Masonry. Mark Hamill plays
a young Jedi apprentise living with his Aunt and Uncle on a sand
planet with two suns on the outedge of civilization. After Luke meets
Obie-One played by Alex McGinness Luke’s Aunt and Uncle are
murdered. Luke then joins the Rebel Army to fight the Empire lead by
the evil Darth Vader played by David Prowse. 1 and 2 go back to the
youth of Darth Vader and show a young man turning to the dark side
with a young Obie One at his side as a techer. Natalie Portman plays
Luke’s mother Queen Matdila of Naboo.
May the force be with you. My adventures with Star Wars started on a
bus from London. Yes a bus almost with chickens on route to Morocco. I
wanted to go to Fez Morocco where the Shinner Masons call home and see
where Lucas filmed Star Wars. The rest of his film was filmed in
London and L.A. Being a Canadian with no concept of distance between
cities, when I got to Spain I started swearing to myself. I had
forgotten bus routes are not like North America and a plane ticket
would have been faster and cheaper. I thought the bus would have taken
day at the most one day plus one hour to get to Tangier Morocco but it
took 3 and another day to get to Fez in the heart of the Atlas
mountains of Morocco. I’ll know for next time. Knowing Myth was
Masonry I was moved being half way in the strait on a ferry between
Spain and Morocco looking at Gibraltar and Mount Goso the Pillars of
Hercules, gates of the known world. Everything outside of these gates
was on the edge of the known world. Then they were the caves at the
base of Tangier, the Caves of Hercules. Maybe someone named Hercules
lived in the caves. The caves stand out from the city. There was a
real explosion leaving Spain into Africa. Two completely different
places. Stepping into Africa was like entering a Myth. Lucas claims to
have made the first film with Myth (he meant Masonry) and he was right
to go to the Myth Kingdom of Morocco.
The first touch of Star Wars I felt was with a Man in a brown robe.
Outside the air was hot and your skin was like the skin of an orange,
and this man was in a giant brown robe the same Alex Guinness wore in
Star Wars and the same all Jedi’s wear. Is this the same? I was
in the land of the Jedi and skywalkers. Lucas must have been to
Morocco and Tunisia and copied the Arabic gown men wore. It was quite
the thing to see Jedis walking around everywhere in the desert towns
and on the buses.
Just across the Mediterranean are the Black Robes of the Vatican.
Interestingly Senator Palpatine who became Emperor in Star Wars 4 wore
a black robe too. And his name Palpatine almost the same as Palestine
next to Israel. I am no Palestine fan with terrorists strapping bombs
on their backs but there are ties to the Vatican once and awhile or
the Vatican is always condoning Israel over Palestine. Lucas must not
like the Vatican. And the Vatican is closer to Upper Masonry than
Lower with Lucas being a Lower Mason.
Back in Fez I was walking round looking for a cheap Hotel. Gen X loves
$100 red wine but will pay just $2 for a room with no view. That is me
alright. I should have walked but instead got a cab. The cab driver
took me a nice hotel 2 km from the Medina and didn’t understand
why I wanted another Hotel. My Arabic was from a guide book. Down the
street I walked and found Chesa’s Hotel just off a fountain, at
an intersection, not working with cracks all it. Why is concrete used
when it will last for ten years? I asked myself. At Chesa’s I
got a room with 20 foot ceilings for $9 3 nights. There was even a
counter on the main floor with breakfast rolls for $1 U.S. No one in
the hotel was wearing the brown robe or looked like a Jedi but I was
in Fez and looked forward to seeing the Medina the next day.
Crawling out of $3 wooden bed with no red wine I headed down to the
Medina. Upon my arrival a few locals Fezites wanted $10 guide fee with
or without my permision. They all spoke English well and I thought the
$10 would help a family so I picked a young man that called himself
Ralph and let him guide me through the 3000 year old Medina. We went
to a Mosque, a carpet dealer and then another carpet dealer and then
finally another carpet dealer. Finally for a change Ralph took me to a
bee honey den with more flies than honey in the bucket. “Jon do
you want to taste the honey?” “No, I insist, no, it is
alright.” Ralph was angry I didn’t eat the fly honey. I
didn’t care. I was sick of paying $10 to look at carpets and how
was I suppose to carry the carpet home. They were huge pieces.
Almost near the end of the tour at the direct opposite side of the
Medina’s front entrance Raulph brought me up to a patio almost
to the roof and you could see for a hundred miles and it was there a
scene from Gladiator was filmed. “Rauph, was Gladiator filmed
here?” “What is that?’ He did not know but later
when I got home I watched the film again and just when Maximus is
about to go to Rome as a gladiator with his fellow gladiators the
three of them sit on a patio overlooking a valley, it was the same
place. The valley was also where the Shrinner and the Arab Muslims
under the Empire of Mohamed fought the Christians descendants of Rome
in a huge bloodbath. 250 000 Christian killed with the Shrinners
dipping their white hats in the blood for the land that was once
theirs and being in Fez they named the hat Fez hat. Shrinners wear a
Fez hat from 600 A.D. All Muslim nations are Masonic more so then
Canada and the United States. Sometimes I think I can’t see
Masonry here in Canada and maybe Masonry is just as strong. I see a
Muslim nation as being pure Masonic. I don’t include Afghanistan
in this group.
Ralph brought me to one more shop on our way out. It was a metal dish
shop and he made me stand at the counter in a certain spot and said
“Ronald Regan stood just where you are standing.” Bloody
hell what was he doing here I thought. Ronald Regan must be a Shrinner
too. And must have stayed at the Fez Hilton the only non-crumbling
villa in town. As I left the Medina Ralph wanted more money, a tip.
Forget it I said and off I went feeling a little chessy.
Every time I sat down to relax to eat something from Fez, an American
Shrinner would walk by the café I was eating at and sneer. Fuck!
Please stop I can remember saying to myself. Don’t bring that
here. You could tell they were Shrinners because the always wore short
sleeved shirts, had white eyes and looked like the 1950’s. It is
interesting that one of the characters of the new TV show That
Seventies Show has a name Fez after the same city.
The scene with R2D2, C3P0, and Luke Skywalker being attacked is in a
valley that is also later in Star Wars 1 with a pod race, is just
outside of Fez. If you take a bus to the south side 10 km, you can see
and get a felling of the valley that was in Star Wars. The Atlas
mountains were perfect for Star Wars. It was like going to another
planet.
Luke (in 4) and Atiken’s mother’s (in 1) home on Datiwin
were all filmed on the outskirts of Fez too. The Homes were made to
look like the future but it is here that the Shrinners once lived
before Rome for thousands of years making Fez the capital of Lower
Masonry Kingdom.
Looking at Darth Vader’s mask you see a triangle similar to
figure 2 that is the top of the pyramid and with an eye above and
Vader’s eye are above just like figure 2. Vader is to represent
the Upper Masons and the Jedis are the Lower Masons. If Rome was Upper
Mason and gave us the Roman Catholics who gave us the Black Robes
similar to the Darths, this is a fight between Upper and Lower again.
With Palpatine rising to be an Empire and if you look closely before
he is Emperor at his chest in Star Wars 1, you can see the compass and
square ruler, Palpatine is to be no different than a Roman Emperor or
enemy of Lower Masons.
In Star Wars 2 with the idea of there being a cloned force that is men
fighter that all look the same it is a copy of the Storm Troopers of
Hitler’s armies. Both in Star Wars and in 1940 Germany are
forces called Storm Troopers. Lucas took the name from the Roman-like
German army of 1940. But with another contradiction, Hitler was a
Lower Mason.
All of Lucas and Spielberg’s films are Anti-Rome and Pro-Mason.
Be that as it may be, history is thick with these films but it shows
things one sided. It does show a pattern and it is enough to write
about. One day soon Lucas and Spielberg with have a true Mason film.
George Lucas went through many different ideas of plot, subplot, and
character before he was satisfied with what he had. In the case of
Star Wars: A New Hope this process took place on the typewriter (Lucas
wrote the screenplay), on the set (he directed the picture), and in
the editing room over a period of about four years. It all began in
1973 when Lucas sat down and wrote a forty-page outline entitled
"Journal of the Whills" about "Mace Windy, a revered Jedi Bendu of
Ophuchi," as told by "C.J. Thorpe, Padawaan learner of the famed
Jedi."
Following the outline was a list of characters, and among them were
some names that survived the different drafts of the story: General
Luke Skywalker, See-Threepio and Artoo Deetoo, two workmen, General
Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, a Wookie prince, and Bail Antilles, a
trader. There was also a list of planets: Aquilae, a desert planet;
Yavin, a jungle planet; Ophuchi, a cloud planet; and Alderaan, a city
planet. In compiling this information and these background details,
Lucas created a reference book he called "Journal of the Whills,"
which eventually became the starting point for the Star Wars saga.
After the enormous success of Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977, Lucas
wrote the story and several drafts of the script and executive
produced The Empire Strikes Back (1980), followed by Return of the
Jedi (1983), for which Lucas wrote the story and cowrote the script
and which he executive produced.
Because the Star Wars films have become indelible landmarks on the
landscape of popular cinema, it is fascinating to go back and explore
how Lucas created the stories and the characters and try to visualize
what the movies might have been like if Luke Skywalker had been over
sixty years old or Han Solo had been "a huge green-skinned monster
with no nose and large gills."

Summary
I never wrote to much about the Ku Klux Klan since there are no films
about the Klan. I once saw Hollywood’s first movie, a movie
released before Charlie Chapman’s time, all cameras on the KKK
ridding horses across a pasture. The plot is unknown and so is the
title. The first movie was KKK in Hollywood that I know. The Klan is
not 150 years old and did not start out of a law office in the deep
south of the U.S. after the U.S. civil war which they lost. The Ku
Klux Klan was founded in Greece thousands of years ago and first went
by the name Sigma Void. The secret society brought down Egypt and it
harms us to this day. The Klan is alive and still kicking through
Lower Masonry. Your told not to talk about Masonry when you join Lower
and that is how the KKK hold power. Thousands of men running around
giving money not knowing anything and in the worse communication den
in human history. When I was asked to join Lower Masnry by friends I
wanted to tell my friends the KKK ran Lower Masonry, there are two
types of Masonry, and the KKK is at the top and why should I join if
it is KKK. But Lower Masons don’t believe the KKK is part of
Maosnry and if it was why would they not know.
Between you and me, the planet is fucked. Every 150 years the Lower
Masons rise up and not just protest but spend a shit load of money on
a revolution. War of the Roses, Reformation, English Civil War, French
Revolution, and WW2 the rise of the Nazi. Funding for Hitler was
directly from the KKK in the southern States. What is the difference
between the two? Almost as if we had another American civil war. Lower
Masons are told by the KKK that the Masons all went to the death camps
and Hitler was the enemy. This is ridiculous and is why we are in
revolution cycles. It was the KKK that helped the Nazi war machine and
it was the KKK who paided for the death camps. Hitler was a Freemason
and that is the communication network we live in today and 150 years
after WW2 we will have another revolution.

First of all it's spelled Pharaoh.
Second of all, Pharaoh means "of a noble house". After a break in the
genetic continuity of the Kings of Egypt (the first Intermediate Period,
IIRC), the Pharoahs ascended to "the throne" of Egypt as they claimed that
they were the closest people in Egypt to the lost blood-line of the original
Kings. It has been suggested that the Pharaohs were not given the title of
"King" because they didn't know the secrets handed down from generation to
generation amongst the Royal line.
That is all...

I'd disagree with your concept of "properly": many of those who use newsreaders
download full messages simply because of the savings in doing a 'one-pass' job.

That assumes, of course, that everyone in every thread is perfectly on track with
the subject line - just as we here are discussing downloading messages in a thread
titled "Hollywood Movies with Freemasonry".
As a further example, I would have LOVED to have seen serious and insightful
responses to provide information on this topic (see this website or read this
book, for example) even though the original post was a total loss. To decide
whether or not replies are worth reading is not something that can be divined with
the headers/full message concept.

How on earth would you have known that Islander26's reply wasn't going to be a

There are - and always have been - some generally accepted usenet protocols.
Things like 'don't crosspost to irrelevant groups', 'don't repeat material you
aren't addressing', 'don't top-post', and 'don't be like Bloxy's'.

Speaking as someone who often uses GSM I can definitely see the problem with
long (unnecessary) posts.
Can someone tell me how to get a newsgroup in e-mail format? I subscribe to
soc.org.freemasonry via email but that's because the moderators allow it
isn't it? Is there some way of getting normal newsgroups via email?

OK. Now explain how I can know what a message is about if do not download
it. Headers can and do lie. The point being made is that, if as in this
case you are complaining about the whole of a post being peurile, you
should selectively snip the dross before reposting.

I do not pull all messages. I rely heavily on my filters to sort most of
the dross so that it doesn´t get downloaded in the first place. I do
however go online and pull all available headers that fall outside my
filters together with their bodies in one sitting. I complain about those
who _repost_ Min or Librarian or any other idiots as I have no interest
in reading their foolishness in the first place but it is especially
galling when all the new poster does is add one or two lines at either the
end or the beginning without snipping most or all of the rubbish.

I should hope not, but if you were replying to _each_ paragraph in a sane
and sensible manner then I have no objection. It is only those who do not
selectively snip that earn my wrath.

I do not, repeat NOT, see ANY post by librarian. How then can I see that a
particular RE: posting is a followup to a post of his.
Kill files work by removing all postings by a particular poster. They
NEVER make it through to my computer. They do not get downloaded because
they are detected at the stage of downloading the headers and are rejected
at that point in time.

This is an unmoderated group but life is easier if you have a little
courtesy from those who post here. Of course I expect little courtesy from
the anti brigade which is why they end up in the kill file.
Some of you bloody Yanks are as thick as two short planks. Especially when
it is deliberate.
