What is ironic here Seward, is both words, liberty and freedom appear to be taken from variants of Semeramis's names or titles in various languages.
Semeramis was known as Queen of Heaven, Lady Liberty, and such through nearly all the world. And the word Freedom appears to be taken from her name in one of the variant Euro languages, Freeda, Freitag, etc... Thus freedom truly does mean slavery, and work makes free. Check out this post that Solomon made earlier; I think many here will be surprised, especially those who grew up catholic.

P.S. All the statues you see below are not really statues of Mary. They are statues of Semeramis and her 'Savior Child' Nimrod. Taken from the Mystery Religions of Lucifer.

Queen of Heaven, Semiramus


Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes (wafers) to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.



Jer 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.




Jer 44:18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.



Jer 44:19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes (wafers) to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?



First Commandment of the 10 Commandments
Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other gods before me.

Which is the God of this world?


Second Commandment
Exodus 20:4 You shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;



Satan delights in reversing the first of the 10 commandments.

Shalom,
Solomon

Having another look. Even better the second time around. :>)

"You shall not make unto thee any graven image,......"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this important part is not in the bible the Catholic Church promotes. Check it out and let me know if that is correct.

Nuke,

I haven't even gotten to the bread and butter yet! I am laying to foundation for something far bigger, and far more intriguing, which will absolutely blow people away. It is more than just the 'graven image' thing. And where I am going deals with this, for any who have wisdom and can read between the lines; This paragraph below is more damning than anyone can imagine. but people will have to know history, and true history at that in order to see it. And for those who can't see it, don't know their history, and can't read between the lines on this, don't worry, as I will be expounding and exposing all of it in the days and weeks to come.

This will blow people away, the scope of it, the width and breadth of it, etc...And I can say this much about this information, it is NOT "In Plane Site" It has been hidden and repressed in every way imaginable; Now look at this paragraph from a history book from Augistine of Hippo, the City of God. It is no wonder they have burned books all through history, and to be honest, they should have burned this one;

I will give five hints for those who like searching and seeing things on their own first and not being spoon fed;

1. Who is Ninus?
2. Who started the Assyrian Empire?
3. Who is Belus?
4. Who 'founded' Rome?
5. How long had Ninus been King before Abraham was born? How long?

Cheers-
phil

How it is that Augustine's book, "City of God" missed the book burnings of the Romans and later the Roman Catholics, is beyond imagination, for in it are the very kernels and reasons why they had these book burning parties all through time.. It also shows that there is a God who rules from on high, and that he always allows the 'wise to be caught in their own craftiness.'

By; Phil Jayhan

Where do I start with all of this? How to take 5000 years and condense it, so we can make use of this information; An old saying is this; "If we forget our history and the errors of our history, we are apt to repeat them; But what if we don't know our history, and everything we know is a candy coated lie? What then becomes our lot?"

If any of you want to get a grip on all of the Secret Societies, International Banking, the Conspiracy of Nations, and Luciferian religions and undertones we all know and can see parts of post 911, then this information will become invaluable to you.

Here is a brief outline;

1. All false Religions have been started out by a Mother Harlot of the Mystery Religions, who has spawned them through time
2. All Secret Societies are run and controlled by the same Mother Harlot, and tied into the Mystery Religions
3. All International Banking Corporations are run by this same Mother of Harlots
4. Most of the Community of Nations (Nearly all National Governments) have been subverted by one branch or other of this Mother of Harlots

[hr:97a41b1084]

A. The Mystery Religions Foundation is the worship of Semeramis, and her "god son" Nimrod, claimed by Semeramis (Queen of Heaven) to be born of God, by the Holy Spirit, and killed by the 'Serpent' (Shem) spoken of in Genesis 3:15. And then resurrected and lifted into the Sun on his Chariot, and who also became ruler, by means of his resurrection, ruler of the 'Underworld.'

**Remember, it doesn't even matter whether you believe in ANY of this; Is what matters is what THEY believe. Whether or not any of it is true, false, etc. can be dealt with in other threads and discussions. I am defining their 'Mystery Religions' and what THEY believe; These are all things which THEY believe, which THEY believe happened, and all of this, some 12-1500 years before Christ.

B. Those who control the Zionist Movement, both now, and all through history, have been those who control the 'Mystery Religions'

Reason: Because God gave the promise of a Savior in Genesis 3:15, and Semeramis, a god, claimed this promise happened to her, i.e Virgin Birth, Holy Spirit Seed Created Child, Miracle birth of the god Son Nimrod or Osiris, and his having been put to death by the Serpent, Shem, and then resurrected and made into the likeness of the Sun, and ruler of the underworld. i.e. Resurrection from the Dead

Zionist Aims & Goals through the 6 empires; From Egypt the first, to Babylon, Medo-Persian Empire, Assyrian Empire, Grecian or Greek Empire to the Holy Roman Empire (Rome 1) onto the Holy Roman See (Rome II)

1. To capture Zion, ransack it, carry away Israelites as slaves, usurp Gods Holy Temple and place their own man inside this Temple, ruling the world therefrom; This was the goal and aim of the first 6 empires of this 'Mystery Religion' founded upon the Mother/Child worship of the false Madonna, Semeramis and her son, Nimrod, aka, Osiris the Great. Numerous times this goal was achieved, God allowing this to happen because of the Israelites disobedience to his Holy Law. This was promised for disobedience in Deuteronomy 4 & 26;

2. The last empire, Rome II, the Holy Roman See, also has had the same exact Zionist aims and Zionist goals as the previous 6 empires, howbeit, she has gone about her Zionist aims & goals differently. Through deception shall she do war & conquer. And one stark difference between her Zionist goals and aims between this present Empire from the previous 6, is that she needs to populate the Land of Israel with Jews to produce her goals. Yet the end goal is the same. To own and rule Jerusalem, Zion & Israel. To place their own man, head of the Mystery Religion of Babylon on the Trhone of David, eventually placing himself inside of Gods rebuilt Temple, where he will proclaim himself to be God, and then rule the world with Israel as the head and the Nations as the tail.

3. Here is Gods description of the Mother of Harlots, or the Beast in Revelation;

- A. Revelation 12:6 The seven heads are seven empires; Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome I (Holy Roman Empire), Rome II (Holy Roman See - Present)
Notice the heads of this beast are all connected to the same beast, yet span the length of time, and empires. The Dragon here that all the heads, or seven empires spoken of, and are connected to, is Satan. The 10 horns spoken of which are upon the seven heads, are 10 Kings who have yet to take power. Probably the Kings of the 10 divisions of Earth under the New World Order.

4. The reason of the great enmity of these 7 empires towards the Jews, Israel, & Christians is because Lucifer/Satan figured out enough of Gods promise of a redeemer and Savior and enough of what he intended to do, to co-opt it, and hijack it before it even happened. This would be the false Mother/Child Worship of Semeramis and her 'god' son, Nimrod or Osiris, no doubt inspired by Lucifer. And then his 'god-life' and the alleged resurrection. All of the other Kingdoms and Empires were also wroth at Israels God, YHWH, for destroying their very first Kingdom & Empire, founded by THEIR god Nimrod or Osiris the Great, and his wife and Mother, Semeramis. [Egypt was destroyed in 10 single days of Judgments by God through Moses] They were also very concerned at the prophecies that had began to be chronicled by Israels prophets about the promised seed of "Genesis 3:15." For these prophecies were alleged by these other kingdoms and empires to have already happened, (Through Semeramis and Osiris the Great, her son and Husband). thus if YHWH, the God of the Jews brought to pass this prophecy of Genesis 3:15, it would show their religion, which predated the Jews religion by at least 1200 years, and nearly identical, to be false. Thus another reason for their great enmity towards the Jews all through history. Three times can I think of, right off the top of my head, where this enmity and great hatred flared; The Assyrians conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel and carried many of the people away as Captives and slaves to Assyria. The Babylonians conquered and carried away many of the Southern Kingdom of Judah away as captives and slaves to Babylon. (This captivity lasted 70 years before the Jews were allowed to return, and this at the directive of Cyrus the Great, the Mede, who had conquered Babylon and decided to release the Jews so they could go and rebuild Israel and worship YHWH) This is all in this history books.

The final time Israel was allowed to be conquered by YHWH was by Titus is 67-70 AD, when God allowed all of the Jews to be scattered, taken captives and slaves, and scattered to the four winds of heaven, and Jerusalem to be looted, even to the looting of Gods Temple, and the gold which covered the Temple walls. When Titus finally was able to retake Jerusalem and quell the Jewish rebellion against Rome, he ordered large fires to be made inside of Gods dwelling and Temple so that the gold would be melted off the walls and carried away. The fires were so hot it made the gold flow like a river, and it became embedded in many of the cracks between the giant floor stones of the Great Temple, as well as between the cracks of the foundational side stones of the Temples foundation. And Titus ordered that each and every floor stone and foundational wall stone of the Temple be removed to get all of the melted gold. And thus the prophecy of Jesus came true; "See this Temple? I declare to you that not one stone will be left standing... All of the gold was then carried away, back to Rome, as well as many of the Temple artifacts, and quite possibly, the Holy Ark of the Covenant, the Seat of the Great God YHWH in his Temple. And thus were the desolations decreed by God against Israel fulfilled.

America - Foundations & Origins

Consider: the land known today as the District of Columbia bore the name "Rome" in 1663 property records; and the branch of the Potomac River that bordered "Rome" on the south was called "Tiber." This information was reported in the 1902 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on Daniel Carroll. The article, specifically declaring itself "of interest to Catholics" in the 1902 edition, was deleted from the New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967).

Columbia: One of the many names of Semeramis
District of Columbia: = District of Semeramis - Thus showing even by name, is controlled by Rome & the Mystery Religion.

**Washington D.C. was previously called "Rome". The 10 mile square of the land was owned by a Jesuit family (because the Catholic church was not allowed to own land here) who donated it to a Virginian corporation that eventually became the United States. **Jon Simon Contribution

Many of you no doubt have seen portions of this scheme, but probably not the entire picture as is presented here; The 10 square mile area of Washington D.C. [District of Columbia] was first purchased by a Jesuit, then named Rome, and then later ceded to a Virginia corporation, whence it was renamed Washington D.C. where it was later set up to became the U.s. Corporation.[sic] And the Federal Reserve Corporation of America acts as the financial wing of this 10 square mile wide Corporation, and the Internal Revenue Service acts as the collection agency. This triple headed trinity monster owes allegiance to Rome, Italy. There is more than likely something very similar to this set up in every nation which the Vatican and Jesuits have subverted and corrupted. Thus Washington D.C. or the "District of Columbia" actually only has Jurisdiction over the District of Columbia [10 Square miles] Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Has anyone ever wondered why Washington D.C. looks identical to Rome in architecture? Now you know the reasons!

[hr:97a41b1084]

The Statue of Freedom, Statue of Liberty, Statue of Columbia, Statue of Mary, The Origins of Washington D.C. Previously named Rome, And Rome, Italy, previously named City of Saturn

This woman, named Semeramis, a real person from our historical past played such a significant role and was prominently famous, that a day of the week was named after her; The day Friday is actually named after this ancient 'goddess Semeramis.' Her name in the European tongues, Frieda, Frigga is the derivative where this day of the week was named.

Frigga-Day = Fri-day. As a matter of fact, all of the days except Sunday and Monday were named after real people, alleged to have been gods. We will deal with the reason of why they were reputed to be 'gods' later on in this thread. But there were good reasons for people to so venerate these people. All of Ancient mytholgy is based upon these very real people who can still be traced through history books and accountings of contemporary writers of the ages.


[align=left:97a41b1084]Can anyone see any similarities between this statue of "Freedom" and the Statue of "Liberty?" If so, it is because it is of the same goddess, Freedom or Columbia, or Lady Liberty as she was also known the the early worshipers of her. Lady Liberty was indeed one of the names of Semeramis. The word Freedom is a takeoff of her name in the German & Nordic tongues, Freeda, Frigga, Freitag. She sits atop our U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. [District "of" Columbia] She also "graces" the Top of, many, if not all of our State Capitol buildings. Notice how "she" is given the highest place of Honor on our Nations Capitol building, which is the 2nd highest place or altar in Washington D.C. She is above all! But not quite 'all.' The phallus of Nimrod, which is what the Washington Monument is, is a little bit higher than her. Nimrod was both her husband, and son, also known as Osiris the Great, and the 'god' son who was killed by the "serpent god" Shem, and allegedly resurrected! Is it not fitting that these two people from our historical past, who both reigned as 'gods' should have such prominence in our Capitol? For these two people are the VERY foundation of the 'Mystery Religions.' And are the main and chief cause of our deterioration of "freedom and Liberty" ironically enough. In the truest sense of the word, "freedom truly is slavery." And thus the saying work makes free also becomes true along with the reasons thereof. Because both Semeramis and her son Nimrod had once enslaved the entire world through their mystery religion, and mechanizations of war and conquest. And we are today fighting against their children and children's children, who have ruled in one way or another, all through time, in their similitude. And for any who also see the similarity between her and the statues of Mary in the Roman Catholic Church, it is because they also are one and the same person. Is it not also ironic, to say the least, that Semeramis and Nimrod are the two top figures in Washington D.C. previously named Rome? And who founded Rome, the city in Italy, which sits atop seven hills? It was Nimrods Grandfather Ham, and was, before being named Rome, called the 'City of Saturn." after himself.[/align:97a41b1084]

Also, the Ironies never seem to cease in researching and compiling this material; Where was this statue of "Freedom" made? This particular statue was given birth in a City named, Rome, Italy. And as pointed out, the City of Rome, previously named the City of Saturn, was founded by and named after Ham, or rather his god title, Saturn, and Ham was the Grandfather of Nimrod, who was both the husband and son of Semeramis. And Semeramis was the former wife of Cush, as well as Nimrods father, and then later his wife, and Nimrod was the son of Ham or the god Saturn. See if you can follow this along, as sometimes it truly is dizzying! Yet true!


[hr:97a41b1084]
When Freedom—the statue perched atop the dome of the U.S. Capitol—was hoisted into place on Dec. 2, 1863, Philip Reid was there, at least in spirit, standing tall and relishing his greatest accomplishment.

Reid was a slave at the Bladensburg Foundry when he supervised the bronze casting of the statue. Shortly after its completion, the District of Columbia issued its own Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery within the capital city and Philip Reid became a free man himself.

This is a true story that belongs near the top the list of Great Chronologies of American History, a story that every American, particularly students, should study and take heart.

The story is best told by Patrick Reynolds in his "Cartoon History of the District of Columbia (The Red Rose studio, Willow street, PA, 1997).

"Thomas Crawford completed the full-size plaster model of Freedom at his studio in Rome, Italy in 1856. When cast in bronze, it would stand atop the Dome of the United States Capitol.

The Model leaves Rome

"In April, 1858, the model left Rome in six crates aboard the ship Emily Taylor. While crossing the Atlantic, the Taylor sprung a leak, which got progressively worse. The Taylor made it to Bermuda and was condemned.

To give you a simple idea on how Isis, Ishtar, Semeramis viewed herself, take a look at this old painting with the World Trade Center embedded into each side over the pillars which used to be in their place; [You can still see the base of the pillars underneath the WTC towers.] She proclaimed herself to be God. Alpha to Omega. She proclaims to have created the Sun, and to have resurrected Osiris or Nimrod, who was both her husband and son. Because of her great age and great length of life, it is not surprising that others also viewed her as a 'God.' As this was also the case with Osiris or Nimrod, who was also both her husband and sonNotice also the winged Egyptian sun above her head; And compare it to Wing TV's Logo below her picture; Do you still think that the '911 Truth Community' hasn't been severely infiltrated by people who worship and practice the dark craft?


We all know that Wing TV were agents. 100% of us know. But agents of whom? Who paid their checks? Who paid for their website? Who paid for the equipment? Who paid them to be obnoxious twits who attacked EVERYONE on the basis of nothing? It is one thing if someone has plausible reasons and evidence to believe someone is an agent of the government or the dark side; But they attacked people on the basis of nothing! Their purpose was to make people so sick of this kind of questioning that none would dare do it in the future, with other 911 plants here to subvert 911. And they were largely successful. For a time. But people won't remain blind to the obvious nor the subtle forever. 911 is full of such agents as we all suspect Victor and Lisa. [Scott Makufka & Lisa Guliani] As a matter of my own opinion, the rate of subversion for 911 in the first 3 months was 99% or better of all the 911 websites which went up around the nation and world. I base this on the assumption that 911 went terribly wrong for the criminals and their plan for a full coup det'at went horribly wrong for them. So whose agents were they? I think their Logo kind of is a dead give away for them. In my opinion, I think it is obvious they were working for the 'dark side.' And probably belonged to one of their undergound churches or covens. thats probably why Lisa Guliani always looked so damned dark and spooky. And also why Scott Makufka, aka victor Thorn had an interest in little boys first wet dreams..



[align=left:97a41b1084]I beheld a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the Sun, with the Moon at her feet. And on her head was a diadem of the twelve stars. Hear me, O Lady Isis, hear and save. O thou queen of love and mercy, thou crowned with the throne, thou hauled as with the Moon. Thou whose countenance is mild and glowing, even as grass refreshed by rain. Hear me, our Lady Isis, hear and save. O thou who art in matter manifest. Thou bride and queen as thou art mother and daughter of the Slain One. O thou who art the Lady of the Earth. Hear me, O Lady Isis, hear and save. O thou Lady of the amber skin. Lady of love and of victory, bright gate of glory through the darkening skies. O crowned with the Light and life and love. Hear me, our Lady, hear and save by thy sacred flower, the Lotus of eternal life and beauty; by thy love and mercy; by thy wrath and vengeance; by my desire toward thee, by all the magical names of old hear me, O Lady, hear and save.

Open thy bosom to thy child, stretch forth thy arms and strain me to thy breasts. Let my lips touch thy lips ineffable. Hear me, O Lady Isis, hear and save. Lift up thy voice to aid me in this critical hour. Lift up thy voice most musical. Cry aloud, O queen and mother, to save me from that I fear most. I invoke thee to initiate my soul. The whirling of my dance, may it be a spell and a link with thy great light, so that in the darkest hour, the Light may arise in me and bring me to thine own glory and incorruptibility. Isis am I, and from my life are fed all showers and suns, all moons that wax and wane, all stars and streams, the living and the dead, the mystery of pleasure and of pain. I am the Mother. I the speaking sea. I am the Earth in its fertility. Life, death, love, hatred, light, darkness, return to me, to me. Isis am I, and to my beauty draw. All glories of the Universe bow down, the blossom and the mountain and the dawn. Fruits blush and women are creations crowned. I am the priest, the sacrifice, the shrine. I am the love and life of the Divine.

Life, death, love, hatred, light, darkness, are surely mine, are mine. Isis am I, the love and light of Earth, the wealth of kisses, the delight of tears, the bowel and pleasure never come to birth, the endless infinite desire of years. I am the shrine at which thy long desire devoured thee with intolerable fire. I was sung music, passion, death upon thy lyre, thy lyre. I am the grail and I the glory now. I am the flame and fueler of thy breath. I am the star of God upon thy brow. I am thy queen enraptured and possessed. High do these sweet rivers welcome to the sea, ocean of love that shall encompass thee. Life, death, love, hatred, light, darkness, return to me, to me. Hear, Lady Isis, and receive my prayer. Thee, thee I worship and invoke. Hail to thee, sole mother of my life. I am Isis, mistress of the whole land. I was instructed by Hermes, and with Hermes I invented the writings of the nations in order that not all should write with the same letters. I gave mankind their laws, and ordained what no one can alter. I am the eldest daughter of Kronos.

I am the wife and sister of the king Osiris. I am she who rises in the dog star. I am she who is called the goddess if women. I am she who separated the heaven from the earth. I have pointed out their paths to the star. I have invented seamanship. I have brought together men and women. I have ordained that the elders shall be beloved by the children. With my brother Osiris I made an end of cannibalism. I have instructed mankind in the mysteries. I have taught reverence of the divine statues. I have established the Temple precincts. I have overthrown the dominion of the tyrants. I have caused men to love women. I have made justice more powerful than silver and gold. I have caused truth to be considered beautiful. Come unto me and pledge unto me your loyalties as I pledge mine unto you. Oh mother Isis, great art thou in thy splendor, mighty is thy name and thy love has no bounds.

Thou art Isis, who art all that ever was, and all that there is to be, for no mortal man hath ever unveiled thee. In all thy grace thou has brought forth the sun, the fruit that was born forth for the redemption of man. Oh Isis, Isis, Isis, graciously hear our cry unto thee, we mourn for thy blessings on us this day, every day, to nourish, to aid and to fill the emptiness within, that only you our beloved mother can satiate. Unto thee do we pledge our solemn oath of dedication, and for the power and glory of him the Unknowable One to witness our devotion to thee. For as we now receive thee into our hearts, we ask that you never leave us, in times of trial and joy, and even unto death."

Isis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article discusses the ancient goddess. For other uses, see Isis (disambiguation).

Isis.

Isis is a goddess in Egyptian mythology. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife and sister of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshipped as the archetypical wife and mother.

Her name literally means (female) of throne, i.e. Queen of the throne, which was portrayed by the emblem worn on her head, that of a throne. However, the hieroglyph of her name originally meant (female) of flesh, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, historical queens.

Her origins are uncertain but are believed to have come from the Nile Delta; however, unlike other Egyptian deities, she did not have a centralised cult at any point throughout her worship. First mentions of Isis date back to the Fifth dynasty of Egypt which is when the first literary inscriptions are found, but her cult became prominent late in Egyptian history, when it began to absorb the cults of many other goddesses. It eventually spread outside Egypt throughout the Middle East and Europe, with temples dedicated to her built as far away as the British Isles. Pockets of her worship remained in Christian Europe as late as the 6th century.

Perhaps now, with all of the back story about who "Freedom" was [Semeramis] this picture of George Bush might take on some new significance to all of you. He is actually presenting the Pope, with a Medal of Semeramis, which is not coincidental, as the Pope and the Vatican are the keepers of this 'Mystery Religion' of which Semeramis, or "Freedom" is one of the Chief Icons of worship.

Sun-day & Moon-Day are easy enough to see where they came from without any explanation. The Sun and the Moon were but two of the celestial objects of their worship & adoration. The Egyptian day for Wednesday was a mistake. I called to double check with Mike & he confirmed it was a mistake, so it will remain crossed out until the correct name for the Egyptian Wednesday is found.

Take note in the above pictures the identical obelisks at the Vatican (Left) and the Washington Monument. (District of Columbia- Right) They are both symbols of the Phallus of Osiris and the worship of the male sexual organ, particularly of their god, Osiris the Great, also known as Nimrod. The Washington Monument is 555.5 feet tall, above ground, with a foundation of 20% it's height beneath ground or 111 feet. The numbers, above ground and below ground for this monument added together total 666. Notice the near identical architecture of the Vatican and the U.S. Capitol Building.



Here is a picture of the Obelisk which is not coincidently at the center of the Muslim faith. This is at Medina, Saudi Arabia. This is once again, the Phallus of Osiris or Nimrod. Can anyone else see the strange similarities here? Can this be chalked up to coincidence? How many coincidences will it take before it becomes something more than a strange string of coinkidinks? The Muslim Religion was created by the Vatican, in an attempt to rally the Turks under a false religion which they control, and for them to take Jerusalem and hand it over to the Vatican, one of the top goals of the Vatican, their Zionist agenda.

Also notice how nearly every "obelisk" is in the center of an oval or a circle; The Female phallus. This is not a coincidence either.

[hr:97a41b1084]


So we see, this 'Secret' 'Mystery Religion' has spread over all the globe, and those who have the rule of us, always find a way to place their 'gods' and their 'icons' of worship into every place imaginable. In case your missing it, check out the image on the base of the space phallus. Do you see the woman, with the sickle and the image of the Sun embedded in it? That is Semeramis in Moscow! Notice also, at the bottom of this phallus, is Osiris's lover, wife & mother, Semeramis. There is no mistake about this! This is once again, a moument made the the penis of Osiris, as it has the telltale signs of being an obelisk, as well as having Semeramis's image engraved on the base of the statue! The Lord said to the Israelites;

Eze 36:18: Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols [wherewith] they had polluted it:

2Ch 34:7: And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.[hr:97a41b1084]And the thing which isn't coincidental, is these are the very same idols polluting not just our own nation, but the community of nations at large. The very same exact idols! The same phallus worship [Ashtoreth Poles - Phallus of Osiris] The same exact worship of 'Semeramis, Queen of Heaven' which the Lord judged the Israelites over; See the last scriptural reference below;

Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes [unleavened communion wafers] to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.[hr:97a41b1084]

REENLISTMENT — Nine West Virginia National Guard soldiers reenlist Jan. 1, 2005, at the Ziggurat of Ur, a famous archaeological site in Iraq. The soldiers are assigned to Battery C, 1st Battalion, 201st Field Artillery Battalion, 197th Field Artillery Brigade, 3rd Corps. The Ziggurat of Ur was built around 2100 BC to honor the moon god Nanna. U.S. Army photo by Maj. Gary Coffey. I will add to this post here much more information, so please check back to this post as a starting point until I finish compiling this list and string of information; This is an actual Temple to the gods which was built by Nimrod himself about 4100 years ago.

Perhaps now, with a foundation for understanding having been laid over the last few years, this information will now make more sense. As history will show to anyone who takes the time to read it, and admittedly it is a broad and expansive study, they will see that the Holy Roman Empire never fell. This is a myth. Even our own, and for the most part censored history books will still show this to be the case; The Holy Roman Empire was slowly morphed into the Holy Roman See, which we now know as the Roman Catholic Church empowered by the Vatican as its center of power and organization. This all started with the last 'Caesars' alleged 'conversion to Christianity' whereby he used this 'conversion' to quickly morph the failing and fledgling Holy Roman Empire into the 'Holy Roman See. This amounted to nothing less than a complete hijacking of Christianity, and a merging of this until then, 'independent new "religion", with the State.

It is here where all of the 'Holy Roman Empires' false and pagan religion of Sun worship, and a worship of the false virgin birth and false resurrection of Nimrod was seamlessly blended with having the 'appearance' of Christianity through name changing of their idols, which not by coincidence mirrored the true virgin birth and resurrection of Jesus.

Please take the time now to re-read this, hopefully after having formed a foundation of knowledge and understanding from the things which I have been laying out for all of you over the last few years. Remember now, that the statues of Mary in the Roman Catholic Church are really statues of their ancient goddess Semeramis. Remember that Semeramis was openly worshipped under the Pagan Holy Roman Empire. Remember that she falsely claimed to be with child through the Holy Ghost. And to give birth to a 'god-son, who would later be killed, according to her, in accordance with the prophecy of Genesis 3:15, where God promised a Savior. And the was proclaimed to have been falsely resurrected. And Semeramis did all of this some 1500 years or so before Christ.

The Hierarchy of the Roman Empire now called the Roman Church.

Vatican City is a landlocked state within the city of Rome, Italy. It is governed by the Bishop of Rome (called the Pope) are in fact clergymen.

It is the smallest sovereign state in the world.

Caesar Constintine began the "corporate takeover" by renaming all the old Roman offices, this evolution of name changing still occurs. Name changing allows a person to hide their tracks of origin.


Roman Empire offices & their modern names:


Roman Empire (Imperium Romanum) renamed: Roman Catholic Church

Curia (legal body of Senators) slight name change: Curia (legal body of Cardinals)

Roman Emperor renamed: Roman Pope (head of all church and state affairs)

Civil government matters of state: Extra-Ordinary affairs (matters of civil-state governments)

Religious orders matters: Church "ecclesiastical" matters

Roman College of Senators renamed: College of Cardinals

Magistrate of College of Senators renamed: Dean of College of Cardinals

Departments of the Roman Senatorial Curia renamed: Congregations

Political Ambassador renamed: Pro-Nuncio (highest civil ambassador sent to other governements, ie Wash.DC, London etc)

If a government has not signed a treaty with Rome which makes the Romans the head of the foreign country as certified in the Roman Code of Canon Law. This rebel nation which has no official ties has an ambassador called an Apostolic Delegate. The United States and the United Kingdom never allowed the Vatican to serve as their legal head until President Reagan quickly signed into law on January 10, 1984. This Treaty for the very first time in U.S. history recognized full diplomatic relations between the United States and the Vatican State.

In 1534 when the United Kingdom realized that the Treaty with the Vatican City-State made them subject to all the Popes rules they voided the treaty. Formal plomatic relations between England and Vatican State were broken. Full diplomatic relations with the the Pope's Vatican State were never restored for 448 years until 1982.

Roman Senators renamed: Cardinals

Roman Governors renamed: Archbishops

Roman Senator with no territory: Bishop (Code of Canon Law 376)

(Large) Roman Province renamed: Archdiocese

(Small) Roman Territory renamed: Diocese

Imperial Chair of Jupiter where Caesar sat renamed: Throne of St. Peter

Vestal Virgins renamed: Nuns

Pontifex Maximus (high priest of College of Senators) renamed: Supreme Pontiff of College of Cardinals

Pontiff or "high priest " of a pagan religious order (Zues, Apollo, Diana, Mars, Jupiter, Baal, Dionysys, Pythia etc) same name: Pontiff

A Pontiff (Latin: "pontifex") means bridge-builder or priest between man and the gods of the underworld.

The Roman Calender and Holy Days of the gods renamed: Calendar Holidays of the Saints

Voice of the gods speaking through Caesar: Ex-Cathedra: Voice of God speaking through Pope

Meeting of the Pontiffs (high priests) of the pagan religious orders renamed: Ecumenical Council of the Bishops

Legal act of creating a god (of a living or dead human, as was done to most of the Caesars) "Apotheosis of the Gods" renamed: Canonization of the Saints

A decree of Caesar (dictator for life): Pope's infalliable Dogma

Praying to a dead human god renamed: Praying to a saint

In the US the highest law of the land is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the Vatican State the Constitution is called the Code of Canon Law

Space saver

There are some great freemasons and there are some great men who were freemasons. Winston Spencer-Churchill belonged to the latter category.

Justifiably our world-wide fraternity takes pride in having men of stature as members: George Washington, Franklin D and Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, King George VI and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh; Masonic sportsmen Malcolm Campbell and Arnold Palmer; actors and composers: Clark Gable and John Wayne, Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden and Sibelius and astronaut John Glenn, jazz great Duke Ellington, even Casanova and Houdini, to mention just a few, all freemasons. But have we at times attributed too much significance to their Masonic association? Maybe more than they themselves have done?




Few would doubt the assertion that Winston Churchill was the greatest British statesman of recent history. It was, as in so many instances of fame, both personal talent and external circumstance that thrust him into the very unique historic role he was to play as a politician and the immortality he subsequently gained.

In 1901 he became a freemason. What induced him to join the fraternity? How active was he as a freemason? Why is it recorded that he changed Lodges? Why did he resign? And most importantly, what part did Freemasonry play in his life?

Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was born, two months prematurely, at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire on 30th November 1874. He was educated, as was his younger and only brother Jack and as befitted children of the nobility, at Harrow School and, by his own admission, was far from being a brilliant student. Reports of his education show him to have been particularly weak in maths and the classics but excelling in the English language – which was to serve him so well through his life. He always regretted not pursuing his academic career, which, nonetheless, detracted very little from his subsequent success as an author, an artist, a soldier, a statesman and a family man.

Edward Prince of Wales and Grand Master

At the time of Winston Churchill’s Masonic initiation into the Studholme Lodge No 1591 on 24 May of 1901, he was surrounded by political and military colleagues to whom Freemasonry, in line with other similar friendly and fellowship societies, was a fashionable social pursuit. All the more so for having had the Prince of Wales, about to be crowned monarch, Grand Master of the Fraternity. Prince Edward’s election as Grand Master in 1875 gave a huge impetus to Freemasonry. He was a great promoter of the Craft and gladly fulfilled his Masonic duties in the public eye. He was often involved in the ceremonial laying of foundation stones of buildings, bridges, dockyards and churches. Freemasonry was being constantly publicised and Freemasons were recognised and popular in their local communities. Edward was an immensely popular sovereign. He was a jovial leader of society and that same society tolerated, even enjoyed, his risqué behaviour as the Prince of Wales, indulging himself in food, drink, gambling and women. He vindicated himself when he succeeded to the throne in January 1901, resigning his Grand Mastership in the same year, and throwing himself into the role of king with energy and enthusiasm.

Britain, in this first decade of the 20th Century, was doing exceedingly well. Notwithstanding the humiliations of the recent Boer War – in which the young Winston had been an active and heroic participant – there was a general sense of well being and security. King Edward, known as Edward the Peacemaker for his diplomacy in Europe, was reigning over the largest empire the world had ever known. There was a sparkle to the monarchy that had been absent for the best part of 40 years. The well publicised and welcome Anglo-French Entente Cordiale of 1904 has been credited to the king and his linguistic capacity. The new Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour, elected in 1902 spent the next three years ensuring educational reforms which saw a well educated middle class and civil service enriched by qualified and educated staff. There was a general atmosphere of invincibility in all fields of achievement ranging from commerce and industry to military and political stability. Business was prospering, entertainment and travel were at a peak.

Kind Edward VII, as Prince of Wales, had been a popular Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of England for a decade and a half. With him, a host of other Royals and members of the nobility and aristocracy had joined the Craft. It was not by accident that the promising young Winston was introduced expressly to the Studholme Lodge number 1591 meeting at 33 Golden Square in central London.

Studholme Lodge 1591

The Studholme Lodge, sponsored by the Weyside Lodge number 1395, was warranted on 13 December 1875 and consecrated in Surbitton, Surrey on 31 January 1876 by the Provincial Grand Master, R W Bro John Studholme Brownrigg. It was his prominent family that gave its name to the new Lodge and the family crest, consisting of a sword and serpent motif, is still in use today as the design for the Lodge jewel. The list of members of the Lodge from 1876 to 1926, headed by the Master Captain A B Cook, shows an array of peers, baronets, clergy, solicitors and barristers, service officers and many belonging to the medical profession. In 1881 the Lodge moved to London and the quality of the membership improved further. The summonses of the Lodge read like a Who’s Who of the aristocracy and social elites. In 1886 the Worshipful Master was the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Sir Reginald Hanson Bart and the table plan for the 21st Installation Banquet in 1897 lists no less than 15 Members of Parliament, in addition to the Master, R H Walter Long. To his left is seated the Lord Chancellor with large numbers of Lords, Earls, Sirs and other titles, including Military Brethren of high rank ranging from Admiral Markham to several Colonels dispersed throughout the dinning room

The Studholme Lodge takes pride in having had no less that 17 Provincial Grand Masters elected from its members. Other prominent Brethren have included HRH the Duke of Clarence, the first honorary and later full member, the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Edward Stanley (later the 7th Earl of Derby) private secretary to Lord Roberts, Sir George Cave, 1st Viscount Cave, later to become Home Secretary, Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, Lord Hugh Cecil, younger son of the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury and many more. These were Winston Churchill’s contemporaries on 24 May 1901 when he was initiated into freemasonry at the age of 27. Already a keen and dedicated politician, Winston had taken his first seat in Parliament as the Conservative member for Oldham just three months earlier. He was very junior indeed in comparison to the stature of the Freemasons who had accepted him into their midst. It explains why his name is not even mentioned as a member when W Bro T W Wedding addressed the lodge with a brief history, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary in 1926.[hr:656460f444]


The lodge records give the date of his initiation, 24 May 1901 with his address as 105 Mount Street, his age, incorrectly, as 26 and his occupation as a Member of Parliament. An insight into the scene on the day is given by Charles Clive Bingham, Viscount Mersey in his autobiography published by John Murray in London in 1941 A Picture of Life 1872-1940. On page 188 he states ‘ ….that month I was initiated as a freemason at Studholme Lodge (1591). While waiting for the ceremony I walked round and round Golden Square with Winston Churchill, another candidate...’. Within two months, on 19 July, Winston was passed to the second degree and on 5th March 1902 he was made a full fledged Master Mason, all the three ceremonies being conducted in the Studholme Lodge. His raising on Tuesday 5th March was by special dispensation applied for by the Secretary, Henry James Fitzroy, the Earl of Euston, Provincial Grand Master for Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire, and conducted by the Master J C F Tower. At the same meeting Mr Ferdinand John St John was initiated and the Brethren dined at the Café Royal, as was customary for the lodge.

An unfortunate communication in 1955 by the then Librarian of the United Grand Lodge of England, Reginald Hewitt, to his counterpart in Iowa, USA, has led to the erroneous reports in various publications (including the notoriously unreliable 10,000 Freemasons and John Hamill and Bob Gilbert’s Freemasonry A Celebration of the Craft) that Churchill was either passed and/or raised in Rosemary Lodge No 2851. The fact is that the Studholme Lodge register of members has the name above that of Winston Churchill referring to one Geoffrey C Glyn and a further entry below that of Churchill referring to a C C Bingham . Further along the line both of these show the entry ‘Raised in No 2851 11th Nov 1901’. The entry was wrongly attributed to Churchill and notwithstanding several published corrections, the error continues to be perpetrated.

In line with the general decline in Masonic membership, the Studholme Lodge found itself with a reduced membership that necessitated its amalgamation in 1959 with the United Lodge No 1629 to form the United Studholme Lodge and amalgamated again in 1976 with the Alliance Lodge number 1827 to attain its present status as the Studholme Alliance Lodge retaining its original number 1591. Its popularity has not diminished and the Lodge was honoured in 1978 when R W Bro the Rt Hon Lord Swansea, PGM for South Wales, was elected and served as Master.

Churchills who were Freemasons

Winston will have undoubtedly been aware of the high Masonic standing of his far removed ancestor Lord Henry John Spencer-Churchill (b.1797 d.1840) the 4th son of the 5th Duke of Marlborough. A Captain in the Royal Navy, Lord Henry was a member of the household of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex at the time when the Duke was serving as the first Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. He died prematurely in action, serving on the HMS Dolphin in Macao, on 2nd June 1840. A large and well kept gravestone marks his burial in the rather small and hidden away Protestant cemetery in Macau.

In him we do indeed find a famous Freemason. A member of the prestigious Lodge of Antiquity No 2, he reached the peak of his Masonic career when, in 1835, the then Deputy Grand Master, the Earl of Durham was appointed Ambassador to Russia and was compelled to resign his high Masonic rank. R W Bro the Right Honourable Lord Henry John Spencer-Churchill, PSGW (since 1832) was appointed in his stead for the remainder of the year and continued in this office until 1839. By then he had served as President of the Board of General Purposes in 1834 and was appointed Provincial Grand Master for Oxfordshire on 2nd September 1836. He served his Province well and actively until his untimely death in 1840. His name is now immortalised in the Churchill Lodge No 702 (now number 47 which was founded in 1841 in his honour.

It is only appropriate that Churchill’s father, Lord Randolph Churchill (1849-1895)

3rd son of 7th duke of Marlborough and his uncle, Randolph’s older brother, George Charles Spencer-Churchill (1844 -1892) the 8th Duke of Marlborough, Marquis Blanford, should both be initiated in the Churchill Lodge on the 9th of February 1871. The two brothers were excluded from the Lodge on 22nd January 1883 – together with some eleven additional Brethren, Oscar Wilde amongst them – for non-payment of dues. They were subsequently reinstated as they had been in South Africa on Her Majesty's Service, fighting at the battle of Majub, which explanation sufficed for their re-instatement but not that of several of their contemporaries. Some ten years later another member of the Churchill family was to become a freemason in Oxford: Charles Richard John Spencer-Churchill (1871–1934) 9th Duke of Marlborough and first cousin of Winston Churchill was initiated on the 7th of May 1894 aged 21 and remained active until his resignation in March 1918.



Resignation and PetitionsAs a freemason, Winston Churchill was following on long standing family tradition but his overall activity during his life time is well summarised in the words of the Grand Secretary between 1937 and 1957, Sir Sydney A White ‘Winston Churchill was initiated as a young man but never progressed in the order and has taken no part for many years’.

By 1912 Winston Churchill was well on his way to political success and fame. In July of that year he was charged, as First Lord of the Admiralty, to 'put the fleet into a state of instant and constant readiness for war, in case we were attacked by Germany.' Matters of consequence and importance were henceforth to absorb Winston Churchill’s time, talent and energies. In the knowledge that he would no longer be able to take any part whatsoever, he resigned from the Studholme Lodge but continued his membership of the Craft. On a number of separate occasions, in the coming years, his involvement in Masonic affairs was sought and he willingly participated.

A petition sponsored by the Royal Colonial Lodge No 3556, signed the 22nd of November 1917 and dated 4 January 1918 was presented to the United Grand Lodge of England for the formation of a new Lodge to be named ‘Ministry of Munitions Lodge’. With it, a letter addressed to the Most Worshipful Grand Master and signed by the Master and Wardens designate, stated the reasons for the need to found a lodge in connection with the Ministry of Munitions. It stated that ‘members stationed in London away from home..’ felt that following the end of the war, Freemasons from the United Kingdom and the Colonies who had been brought together in the Ministry of Munitions of War, felt the need to meet in a Masonic environment. The letter also proposed ‘Armament Lodge’ as an alternative name and finally pleaded to allow Sir Leonard W Llewelyn a newly initiated Mason to be accepted as a petitioner, in view of his special rank and standing. There were a total of 95 signatories on the petition and they included Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry and Winston Churchill, Minister of Munitions. His name, half way down the column in the third page, has an entry under Lodge number ‘clearance certificate attached - Lodge 1591’

The petition was refused by Grand Lodge on the grounds that ‘the policy of the advisors of the Grand Master has always been to decline to recommend the printing of a warrant for a new Lodge where it was intended that the membership thereto be restricted to the members of any particular department of the Civil Service of the crown’. The petition has a manuscript annotation on the back ‘NOT RECOMMENDED’ it is signed P Colville Smith G.S and stamp dated 11 Jan 1918. This was confirmed in a letter to the petitioners dated 14th January 1918 addressed to Lieut. Alfred Lewis, the Senior Warden designate and signed by the Grand Secretary V W Bro P Colville Smith:

[hr:656460f444]
‘Dear Sir and Brother,

The petition for the proposed Ministry of Munitions Lodge has been carefully considered by those whose duty it is to advise the Most Worshipful Grand Master on such matters, & I regret to have to inform you that they are unable to advise HRH that the prayer thereof be acceded to.’

On 27th February 1918, the Master designate W Bro E Allen, wrote a further explanatory letter in which he stated that the Brethren had felt great regret that their prayer had not been granted and that there may have been a possible misunderstanding and therefore gave a further explanation, that it was not proposed to restrict membership of the Lodge to the Ministry of Munitions or the Civil Service and that only the signatories to the petition were resident in London. Bro Allen asked that the Grand Secretary allow a deputation to meet with him and that the proposition, duly amended, maybe reconsidered.

This was the origin of the foundation of the new Armament Lodge No 3898 - sponsored by the Royal Colonial Institute Lodge No 3556 – with 65 founders, the majority of whom were associated with the Ministry of Munitions, and 25 joining members whose petition dated 30th October 1918 was granted just three weeks later on 19th November 1918. Winston Churchill, now no longer involved in the Ministry of Munitions, having been appointed Secretary of State for War and Air, was not one of the petitioners.

This was not, however, the last of Churchill’s involvement with petitions to Grand Lodge. During this period of tension and patriotic fervour that followed the end of the First World War, Clementine Churchill, Winston’s energetic and supportive wife, often visited munitions factories through England. In early November 1917 she visited the Rees Roturbo Manufacturing Company known as the Ponder’s End Shell Works, near Enfield in North London and prompted by some of the workers she wrote to Churchill’s Private Secretary, Eddie Marsh on 5th of November seeking Winston’s assistance on their behalf.

‘The workmen of Ponder’s End Shell Work have sent a petition to the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons asking that a local lodge which they are starting may be called after Mr Brindley: they want it to be called the ‘Bickerton Brindley Lodge’. The men are afraid that the Grand Lodge may turn down the request as Mr Brindley is not apparently a very important Freemason, and they asked me if it would be possible for Winston to write a line to the Duke of Connaught, who is the Grand Master, to say that he thinks Mr Brindley is a very suitable man and that it will give great pleasure to the men he employs if the Lodge is given his name. The Grand Lodge meets on Friday next when they think that the request will be considered. All the Freemasons in the Works will of course be members of this Lodge.

Please be very kind and see that Winston does this

Yours affectionately

Clemmie

If you want more explanation do ring me up.’
[hr:656460f444]
Winston Churchill’s response and subsequent efforts are quite extra ordinary. Within two days, on 7 November 1917, he wrote to the Grand Master, the Duke of Connaught, as follows:
[hr:656460f444]
‘Sir

I should be grateful if I might be allowed to call Your Royal Highness’ attention to the request which I understand will come before the meeting of the Grand Lodge on the Freemasons on Friday next, that a local Lodge about to be inaugurated at the Ponder’s End Shell Works may be named the Bickerton Brindley Lodge’ after the Manager of the Factory.

Mr Brindley’s energy and ability have proved of the highest value to the Ministry of Munitions, and he has succeeded in a remarkable degree in enlisting the enthusiasm of the workers in the manufacture of shells. If the proposed compliment could be allowed, it would be a source of much gratification to them, and a valuable stimulus to the increase of their output.

It is on these grounds that I venture to ask if Your Royal Highness would feel able to advance the matter

I am Sir

Your Royal Highness’ most obedient servant

Winston S Churchill

He also took further and more important action to support the Lodge’s application. Firstly he joined the petitioners for the new Lodge, now to be named Ponders End Lodge (aware, no doubt, that a change of name for the intended Lodge will have a far better chance of success). This final petition for the new Lodge was submitted to Grand Lodge on 10 December 1917 and nominated and recommended Henry Samuel Bickerton Brindley, PM 2015 to be the first Master. The accompanying explanatory correspondence praises Mr Brindley as Manager of the works.

Winston Churchill’s name appears on the top of one of the 4 pages of the petition and has the entry see attached slip in brackets next to it. His profession is entered as Cabinet Minister one step up from Member of Parliament. The attached slip referred to is a personally signed typewritten letter accompanying the new petition dated 10 December 1917 addressed to the Most Worshipful Grand Master. The text begins:

We, the undersigned, being regularly registered Master Masons of the Lodge mentioned against our respective names………are desirous of forming a new Lodge. The name ‘Brindley Lodge’ has been erased and the name Ponders End Lodge has been inserted instead in manuscript. The letter continues to recommend Brother Brindley to be the first Master. This is still not the end of Churchill’s efforts to promote the application of this particular lodge.

After the petition was submitted he personally wrote to J Colville Smith, the Grand Secretary, on Ministry of Munitions of War letterhead as follows:
[hr:656460f444]
My dear Sir,

As I am much interested in the application which has been made by the workers at Ponders End Shell Factory for permission to call their Lodge the ‘Ponders End Lodge of Freemasons’, I should be really obliged if you could let me know whether it has been granted,

Yours very faithfully

Winston Churchill


The hand written reply by the Grand Secretary will have followed soon after receipt of Churchill’s letter. It is dated February 23 1918 it states:


My dear Sir,

The application for the proposed Ponders End Lodge has recently been carefully considered by the advisers of the Grand Master, who with great regret came to the decision that they were unable to recommend the granting of the petition.

Yours faithfully

J Colville Smith G. Sec.

Winston’s considerable efforts, beyond the call of his immediate interest, can only be attributed to his eagerness to fulfil his wife’s innocent request. How much more could he have done that write to the Grand Master, join the petitioners, sign the covering letter and chase the Grand Secretary for results! His efforts came to nothing. The petition had been refused on 8 February 1918, 13 applicants of the 31 petitioners being members of less than 3 years standing. The reason for the refusal is undoubtedly on grounds similar to the original application of the Munitions Lodge. Was Churchill peeved? Maybe frustrated and disconcerted by this refusal to his repeated, almost formal, personal requests? Did he, as a result, have a pique against freemasonry? There is no evidence to indicate any such emotions on the part of Winston.

There are many interesting implications in this exchange of correspondence. The kind-hearted concerns of Clementine and her influence on Winston. The naivety of Churchill’s approach to the Grand Master and the presumption of effective political influence on Grand Lodge proceedings.

An element of naivety – or maybe just a perspective of freemasonry in between the wars that we are unable to appreciate today – is to be found in the context of Churchill’s only other recorded visit to a Masonic Lodge. On 10 December 1928 Winston Churchill was the guest of the Worshipful Master W H Bernau, who was Churchill’s insurance broker, at the Royal Naval Lodge No 59. He signed the attendance book – now on display together with his apron and case, in the Library and Museum of Freemasonry in London - indicating the Studholme Lodge, in brackets, as his Lodge. The next day Bro Bernau wrote to Churchill at Chartwell, as follows:

Dear Mr Churchill,

I wish to thank you again for so kindly coming to the dinner last night – I very much appreciate your giving up your evening in that way and I only hope you were not bored stiff.

Masonry might have as powerful an effect as the League of Nations if it could be properly worked with a central meeting ground for representations of all the Grand Lodges in the World


Yours sincerely

W H Bernau


There is an annotation on the letter in Winston Churchill’s handwriting addressed to his secretary, which curtly states:

Eddie

say I enjoyed it.

This was not the end of Masonic Churchill’s Masonic contacts. On 6 October 1943

W Bro E E Natty on behalf of ‘a number of Loyal Freemasons residing in this City (Belfast)’ wrote to Winston Churchill ‘desirous of forming a Lodge to be called . . . The Churchill Masonic Lodge’ and requested his permission to do so. This led to an internal exchange of memoranda between Churchill’s Private Secretary Edward Marsh and his Personal Secretary Mrs R E K Hill. Edward Marsh effectively instructed Mrs Hill to decline the request which is reflected in Mrs Hill’s response to Mr E E Natty dated 9 October 1943: ‘….Mr Churchill would be complimented by your request …. (and) would prefer that his name should not be used in this way, since he is unable to take a personal part in the Lodge’s activities.’

Conclusions:


What are the conclusions to be reached, then, of Winston Churchill’s Masonic career?

Clearly Winston, in becoming a freemason, complied with the fashion of the time and his friends and colleague’s sociable activities and wishes. He followed in a long-standing and distinguished Churchill family tradition of freemasons. His respect, affection and the influence exerted on him by his father Lord Randolph, will have played a part in his joining the craft. No doubt, it also fulfilled Winston’s own curios interest in the fraternity. He was a joiner and freemasonry was only one area of his interest in similar organisations. In November 1904 he accepted honorary membership in the Hawthorn Lodge of the British Order of Ancient Free Gardeners, he is recorded as a member of the Loyal Waterloo Lodge of the National Independent Order of Odd Fellows in, Manchester in April of 1907 and of the Albion Lodge, Oxford of the Ancient Order of Druids in September 1908. (his father, was also a member of the Woodstock Lodge of Independent Order of Foresters). Winston Churchill’s association with freemasonry must be placed within this context of his membership, and almost certain equal inactivity, in all these various organisations.

To state that freemasonry will not have made an impression on Churchill would be belittling the depth of our fraternity. On the other hand to imply that his life or actions were in any way fundamentality influenced by his having been a mason is unreasonable at best. There is not the slightest indication to suggest that Freemasonry had any meaning for Churchill, beyond a pleasant limited social activity. He joined when it was appropriate, he resigned when it was equally appropriate and he was pleased to lend his name to Masonic efforts within his own fields of responsibility. Had freemasonry had any significance of consequence to Churchill we would have known about it. He was a prolific author and has written extensively and in detail about his youth and his life. So have umpteen other authors and biographers. Nowhere is there to be found a mention of freemasonry in any context at all.

These facts, however, detract little from the pride we as freemasons derive in the knowledge that Winston Churchill was a freemason and descended from a long line of active and distinguished Brethren of the Craft.

MEMORANDUM


To: Mrs Diane Clements, Director
The Library and Museum of Freemasonry
From: Yasha Beresiner, PM Quatuor Coronati Lodge 2076
Ref: Primary Sources in the Library
Date: 29 July 2002


Dear Diane,

I will start by saying how appreciative I am to you and your staff with all
the assistance given me in the past weeks, lest what I am about to say
should in any way be misinterpreted as a lack of gratitude on my part. It
is not my wish in anyway to endanger the cordial relationship I have always
enjoyed with the Library and Museum.

The reason for this letter is that I was most perturbed and frustrated by
your not allowing me to view personally the Stadholme Lodge Register.
On Tuesday of last week, by virtue of my being a mere 'citizen of London' I
was able to view, at the Corporation of London archives, the Charter
granted to the City of London by William I in 1067. Last year at the
Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, I held in my hands Elias Ashmole's Diary of
1646. This morning the British Museum have informed me that there is no
document in their or their St Pancreas Library's vast archives, which is
not accessible to view by any legitimate and registered researcher.
In contrast, the Library and Museum of Freemasonry is not allowing me - a
recognised, professional author researching a commission for an article for
the official United Grand Lodge of England publication - to view first hand
the evidence I need from a document dated 1902!

There is something absurd and wrong here.

My intention is to verify the oft-stated error that Winston Churchill was
raised in Rosemary Lodge. This error is attributed to a faulty entry in the
above-mentioned Register. The error was most recently perpetrated in John
Hamill's 'Freemasonry - A celebration of the Craft' (p. 229).

I feel I need not explain why I need to be able to look and see for myself
primary sources. It is absolutely no consolation to me that, as you stated,
'Lord Northampton himself would be refused the same request'.

Furthermore, with the greatest respect I have for my colleagues Terry
Haunch and John Hamill, it is simply not sufficient for you to tell me that
they had both witnessed the error in question and that I would have to rely
on their reports and, as you put it 'live with that'. Particularly in the
light of the error mentioned in the above paragraph, which is very much a
case in point.

To err is human and I would like to make my own errors. I am sure I am not
alone.

You have been kind enough to allow me to publish the matters raised in this
letter as your Library policy. In fairness to us both and future users of
the Library, I would appreciate, when convenient, your formal written
comments before I go ahead.


With kind regards,

Yasha Beresiner

REPLY RECEIVED


From: Mrs Diane Clements, Director
The Library and Museum of Freemasonry
To: Yasha Beresiner, PM Quatuor Coronati Lodge 2076
Date: 29th July 2002
Dear Yasha,


Your letter of 29th July raised issues of considerable importance on which
you have asked me to respond and I am pleased to do so.

I cannot comment in any detail on the examples you raised relating to other
archives/libraries apart from noting that the age of a document is not
necessarily relevant to the issue of access except where the Data
Protection Act applies (with regard to maintaining the privacy of
information about people who may still be alive) or where a similar sort of
rule (e.g.70 or 100 years) is applied by a particular repository (including
the Public Record Office) for reasons of sensitivity.

The other principal factor which needs to be taken into account when
considered accessing is the physical condition of the document. Where a
document is fragile or torn or otherwise damaged, use will inflict further
damage and potentially lead to destruction unless the document is first
conserved. As an alternative form of access "surrogate" copies of documents
can be made available e.g. microfilm, facsimile or, increasingly, digital
form.

I would now like to respond to your particular point regarding access to
the "Studholme Lodge Register" or rather the register within the series for
the period 1887 - 1909 which records the members of this lodge as well as
members of other lodges. Each register in this series exists only in the
single working copy compiled by Grand Lodge at the time.

The registers were used as current documents by Grand Lodge staff in
earlier years but are now used primarily by Library and Museum staff to
respond to requests for genealogical and other information (such as your
own enquiry). The level of use of the registers both historically and today
has meant that they are fragile and a higher incidence of handling could
destroy the material completely, thus it is therefore not possible to allow
greater access at this time.

The issue of access is one of which I and all the Library and Museum staff
are conscious and one we are all working to address. Staff are involved
with a number of measures now in hand which will significantly improve
access to the collection as a whole:

- Computerisation of the Library catalogue (and the Museum) enabling
key word searches and cross references across the library, museum and
archive collections. (The basic Library catalogue should be available by
Spring 2003).

- Cataloguing of the archives collections so that researchers can
ascertain what information we have. (This is a much longer term project as,
in most cases, there is no existing archive catalogue).

- We have been awarded a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to
catalogue and conserve historical correspondence from 1750 - 1815
(approximately 1700 letters) and the returns submitted by Antients and
Moderns lodges during the same period. (This project is scheduled for
completion by December 2003).

- Digitisation of the membership registers from 1768 to 1886 which
will be available for public access in CD form in the Library and Museum.
(These volumes should be available by the end of 2002 and, if successful,
we will then consider a similar project for later registers).

- A conservation survey of the Library and Archive collections was
undertaken in 2001 to enable us to plan and prioritise work on those
documents and books most at risk.

I appreciate that none of these measures will resolve your concern
directly. However we have advised you that four or five previous and
current members of staff have inspected the register in question and
consider that the note re Rosemary Lodge did not relate to Churchill but to
the adjacent entry. This was specifically checked again for you last Friday
by an experienced member of staff who is familiar with the registers. As
far as I am aware you have been able to view a considerable number of other
original documents relating to Churchill as well as out biographical file
on him where the issue of the entry relating to Rosemary Lodge is also
covered.

I am looking forward to reading your work on Churchill when it is
published.


Yours sincerely


Diane Clements

Director

The Roman Catholic Church is known to have always been against Freemasonry, even if many Roman Catholics, including priests and higher authorities, have been, and are, members of the Craft. Popes Clement XII in 1738 and Benedict XIV in 1751 issued Bulls against Freemasonry. The Roman Catholic Church has two main objections against the Craft: first, the solemn oath of secrecy and, second, that Freemasonry "tends to undermine belief in Catholic Christianity by substituting for it what is practically a rival religion based on deistic or naturalistic principles". Freemasonry, of course, proclaims not to be a religion at all, but a system of morality and philosophy. Moreover the Craft admits members of all religions as long as they proclaims to believe in the "Glorious Architect of heaven and earth". THIS DECLARATION IS A LIE, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND FREEMANSORY ARE TOGETHER, THEY ARE ONE!!!

George Bush ?

While it is not confirmed that George Bush is a freemason, the links and associations to freemasonry are astounding. What we do know is that George Bush and George W. Bush BOTH were members of the Skull and Bones Society at Yale which is known for it’s morbid fascination with Hitler and the Thule cult which forms a basis of modern Freemasonry.



U.S. President’s and Freemasonry

Some have said that 99% of all American Presidents have been Freemasons. That may or may not be true. Most Freemasons do not acknowledge their affiliation outright. However, we do know that about 14 U.S. presidents have openly admitted to being Freemasons.

OATHS OF THE MASONS

The Masonic oaths may vary slightly from one lodge to another, or from one region of the country to another but the oaths are substantially the same throughout the country. The complete rituals from which the oaths of the first three degrees of Masonry were taken may be found at the Ephesians 5-11 website.

Masonic Entered Apprentice Oath. Entered Apprentice is the first of the three basic degrees of Masonry: To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

Masonic FellowCraft Oath. FellowCraft is the second of the three basic degrees of Masonry: To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my left breast torn open, my heart and vitals taken thence, and with my body given as a prey to the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Fellow Craft. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

Masonic Master Mason’s Oath. Master Mason is the third of the three basic degrees of Masonry: To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence, and with my body burned to ashes, and the ashes thereof scattered to the four winds of Heaven, that there might remain neither track, trace nor remembrance among man or Masons of so vile and perjured a wretch as I should be, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Master Mason. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

Masonic Shriners Oath: The oath of the Shrine concludes as follows: "...in willful violation whereof I may incur the fearful penalty of having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a three-edged blade, my feet flayed and I will be forced to walk the hot sands upon the sterile shores of the Red Sea, until the flaming sun shall strike me with livid plague, and may Allah the God of Arab, Muslim and Mohammedan, the God of our fathers support me to the entire fulfillment of the same, Amen, Amen, Amen."
[hr:656460f444]

The membership of Freemasonry, by and large, is made up of average men. Its ranks include laborers, clerks, merchants, tradesmen, lawyers, enlisted and commissioned members of the armed forces, doctors, statesmen, farmers, salesmen...the whole spectrum.

George Washington: The only President to serve as Worshipful Master of his lodge during his presidency, Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol, acting as Grand Master pro tem for the Grand Lodge of Maryland. He was buried with Masonic honors. Masons of the United States have erected a granite monument in his memory on Shooter's Hill, at Alexandria, Va.

James Monroe: Except for records of his membership, little is known of Monroe's Masonic life.

Andrew Jackson: Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, Jackson was the first of two Presidents to have so served Freemasonry.

James K. Polk: Known to have served as Junior Warden of his lodge, there is no record of Polk ever serving as Master. During his Presidency he assisted in laying the cornerstone of the Smithsonian Institution with Masonic ceremonies.

James Buchanan: Master of his lodge in 1823, Buchanan also served as a District Deputy Grand Master in Pennsylvania. He delivered the address at the Masonic dedication of the statue of Washington, Washington Circle, Washington, D.C. He was buried with Masonic honors.

Andrew Johnson: During his Presidency Johnson participated in five Masonic cornerstone ceremonies... in Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Antietam (Md.) and Washington. He was buried with Masonic honors.

James A. Garfield: Eventually holding membership in three different lodges (Masons may move membership from one lodge to another or, in some states, become dual or plural members), Garfield was Chaplain in the second of these. Many Masonic groups attended his funeral.

William Mckinley: Our 25th President was prompted to seek Masonic membership when he observed the fraternal kindnesses being exchanged among Masons in the Union and Confederate Armies during the Civil War.

Theodore Roosevelt: Often expressing his interest in Freemasonry, Roosevelt visited lodges at home and abroad. He participated in Masonic ceremonies on several occasions while President, delivering the principal address on one occasion and wearing Masonic regalia on another.

William H. Taft: Taft was another of the Presidents that took part in various Masonic activities while in office. On one occasion he posed for a picture while wearing Washington's Masonic regalia at the White House.

Warren G. Harding: Becoming a Mason only three years before his death, Harding nevertheless became very active Ma sonically and joined a number of the appendant orders.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Mason for thirty-four years, Roosevelt participated in numerous Masonic activities, including his son Elliott as a Master Mason in 1933.

Harry S. Truman: Becoming a Mason in 1909, Truman was the second President to have served as a Grand Master, being elected Grand Master of Missouri in 1940. He was probably the most active Mason of any President since Washington. Millions of Americans witnessed his Masonic funeral service on national television

Gerald R. Ford: Still living at this writing, it is perhaps too early to summarize Ford's Masonic life. In addition to the Presidents listed, it is widely believed that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were Masons, but documentation of their Masonic memberships has never been discovered. Lyndon B. Johnson received the first degree and was thus an Entered Apprentice, but he never became a Master Mason.

Truman and Ford were each honored by the Scottish Rite when they were elected to its Thirty-Third Degree.

[hr:656460f444]
J. Edgar Hoover

33° Scottish Rite Freemason, J. Edgar Hoover. The F.B.I. Director set-up a Masonic Lodge inside F.B.I. Headquarters. It was said that the chance of career advancement within the Bureau were next to nil for non-masons during 'Illustrious' John Edgar Hoover's reign.
[hr:656460f444]
Ronald Reagan

Reagan (and frequent visitor to the Bohemian Grove before he was president) took his inaugural oath to presidency facing the Washington Monument, the occult obelisk! That was on January 20, 1981. This picture was taken as President Ronald Reagan took his Inaugural oath on January 20, 1981. Reagan startled the occult world by taking his oath of office from the West Wing of the Capitol, and not the East Wing as all his predecessors had done. When President Reagan decided to become the first U.S. President to take his oath from the West Wing of the Capitol, he faced the obelisk , as you can see. This fact meant that he was sending the strongest possible signal to fellow Illuminists the world over that, after 205 years of pursuing the goal of establishing the New World Order -- tThat Christianity was now dead and buried, and the plan was entering its final phase.

Phil, I was thinking yesterday about history in general. History is not a popular subject with the majority of the American public, I would guess.

Do you believe this is by design?

Knowledge is empowerment.

BTW, the "live" version is better. But the pictures do help. :>)

I believe when people find out there is something the "elite" have suppressed from them and don't want them to know, then it almost become an insatiable appetite to find everything out which they are suppressing from people like you and me. And THIS is such information; What we are reading here in this thread is some of the VERY MATERIAL which have inspired rabid book burnings all through time, to hide our origins.

cheers-
phil
