#1050- A Masonic Deeper Dive

Oh bead of Thattar, Hello, and welcome to the show. This is the Cult of Conspiracy and I am the Cajun Night.

And today.

You know, it was brought to my attention that we go over so many conspiracies we do, and some of them are more obscure, some of them are more widely talked about, relatively well known within the conspiracy community. But you know, we have a lot of new listeners, We have a lot of people who are relatively new to the conspiratorial mindset, if you will, the Truther movement, as we say, because it's not conspiracy. So many of them

Cool.

I always see them.

I started seeing them at the parades at the Mardi Gras festivals. Yeah, so that's where I was like, Yeah, I'm like, what are these And they're at some of them, they're really prominent, and the shit they have like fifty floats and some of them, so it's like.

A whole thing.

So what you're thinking of with the parades would be the Shriners, which these dudes wear like a red fez and they have a little, yeah, a logo on it with usually an Arab looking name and a scimitar, and they're always around parades. They got these little little doom buggy looking carts that they ride around all these things. And then you probably have heard of like the Shriner's Charity Hospital. That's a big thing that we see a lot of, Like they're really tied in with charity hospitals

Wow.

I mean a very well funded organization, don't get me wrong. And although their number are dwindling these days, they still have a lot of money coming in because throughout the years, different temples and different lodges have put their money into endowments that they are still the lodge is getting the

Like they will absolutely feel the bill.

Yeah unless it's okay, if it's like a murder and like multiple murders went down, I don't believe the lodge is going to fund that.

But divorce court or some.

Sort of a DWI situation or yeah, yeah, the lodge will absolutely cover the lawyer costs one hundred percent. And you know, let's say you have a brother that gets hurt on the job and he, you know, can't pay his bills. The lodge will start sending some money his way. And that's what I mean. They're able to send money to an individual rather than just an organization. So there's a lot of benefits that a lot of freemasons get

Yeah, this is more.

This is more or less what you'll see in our every day you know, comings and goings.

You'll see the logos on the back of the cars.

We have a lot of them down here, A lot.

I would say, like one in five cars will have a type of logo on it. So there's a lot, like every day, I see it consistently. So absolutely why I brought this to your attention was because I've had people talk about this, and to be fair, I do know I feel like I know a bit about a bit, but I also feel like there's so much information when it comes to this, and there's a lot of misinformation too that like when people are asking me, I'm like, you know, I know somebody that knows a lot more

Absolutely, So that's what we're going to do on this episode, good cult members. We're going to break it all down. We're going to really, I don't want to say, do the most comprehensive deep dive to ever be done. However, we are going to be going down the rabbit hole

And also if you go to that top tier, that Manic Tier, not.

Only will you get everything that has been listed thus far, you will also be receiving exclusive merchandise mail directly to you from us as a massive token of our appreciation for supporting us in this way. We have more and more Manic Tier members that keep joining on a daily and it's amazing. Also, I should mention that we are still running the promo where if you sign up for the entire year, you're getting three months free.

That's just the way, yeah we are.

You sign up for the entire year, you're basically getting twenty five percent off your order.

You do the math on that. My math ain't always math, and but.

I do believe that that means three months out of the year are free of charge and it is best bang for buck as far as the content goes.

And we appreciate everybody's already gone and done so.

Without further ado, let me go ahead and share the screen, and we are gonna get started. Actually know what. No, I'm not gonna share the screen just yet. I'm gonna paint a picture. I'm gonna paint a picture for everybody. Okay. The year is circle way fucking back in the day, okay, and we have the year of our Lord.

You have to say it correctly. Way the fuck yeah, yeah yeah.

And essentially you have these guys who are of a more educated mindset. And I don't mean educated in the traditional sense of uh oh, well, this is a doctor, this is a noble class, or whatever the case is, although that would definitely come in. You basically had a network of dudes that were trying to not only help themselves, think of a like a mafia almost, you know, it's not. It's a networking opportunity and they're in the club, so

To be taught by a journeyman.

Right.

It's the same concept as far as kraft work goes today.

If you're trying to be a welder, yeah, sure you could buy a welding machine, buy some rods and like fiddle fuck around in your garage and yeah, you could probably make some stuff stick. But if you're trying to become a master at welding, you would want to get hooked up with a journeyman who's been doing it for years that you could apprentice under. And this stands to reason it's still done to this day. So the Stonemason Guild was very particular about who they would allow to

Become his house.

That makes sense clearly, right, And this goes back they came up with these stories, right, And a lot of these people, keep in mind, were illiterate back in the Middle Ages. So whenever you would get hooked up with the stone Mason Guild, people understood math, the very basics of you know, arithmetic, but not all things could be written down in a manual, so to speak, because most

And you see what I'm saying. They would like find ways.

To imbue spiritual and oftentimes biblical stories into their craft work, and that story is very similar to how oral traditions have been passed down for forever, same principle, but instead of an oral tradition to teach why the stars are the way they are, these traditions are being used in the principle of stone mason crafting.

Mm hmmm, so okay, So it's like a fancy get together of smarter people to have apprentices underneath.

So essentially as far as stone masons go, yes, but they would there's a lot of there's a lot of iconography behind that as well.

The reason why they wear a lambskin apron, right.

And the reason why they use the compass in square, The reason why they have hammers and trowels in their mix is because these are the tools of the stone masonry.

Now the lambskin.

Apron. That goes back to the original stone Masons as well, because they would use lambskin it was readily available, and basically they would just cut the head off and they would use the legs of the leather and wrap that around their waist to make an apron, and they would wrap the front legs around each of the thighs to cover up their entire from their waist to their knees so that they wouldn't damage their clothes and catch a

M h.

So they find ways of, like I said, imbuing spiritual narratives into the craft work itself. You see what I'm saying. Ok? Yeah, So Middle Ages come around and the Stonemason's Guild. A lot of their secrets are their secrets, and at this point it's not necessarily of the esoteric variety.

It's craft secrets, right, trade secrets, if you will.

Then we get into the renaissance, where now people are starting to think outside the box. They're starting to take in Eastern philosophy and shirk off the yokes of old school traditionalism, or at least what they thought it was anyway. And there is a renaissance not just of the culture, but of masonry. And this is around the time when what we see as free and accepted masonry comes into the forefront. There are sigils that are carved into rocks that date back to the fifteen hundreds of the Square

It's a a far back way, it is.

Indeed, and that's also why a lot of their iconography goes back to that, why they have the grand worsh full master and adult.

They weren't practicing, and they didn't actually have a group though until like later on.

Then how did it go all the way back?

They claim that this group operated in secret for centuries and it only became a prominently well known thing around the time of the Renaissance.

Okay, but if they had no like actual anything written down, or they don't know anybody that was a part of the secret society or anything, so they just made it up.

Yes and no.

Hell, depending on who you asked, they'll say that they actually are the ones that built the Pyramids of Egypt were clearly Freemasons.

Wow, there's got a lot of bolster. They they really feel like they did a lot.

They do, and a lot of the principles that they teach come out of Hermetic Cobbalism, but that came about later. We're going to get to that in a bit. But anyway, all right, so according to them, according to their story, they claimed directly from the knights templars, which okay, is a bold claim and I disagree with it for multiple reasons.

Uh, basically all historical.

To be completely honest with you, So all right, cut back you ever see national treasure of course, of course. So of course you remember whenever they were talking about the Templar gold, that it made its way here from the Freemasons, who took their name off the builders of the Great Pyramids and the temples in Egypt. That is not that's not exactly a direct connection like people might be thinking, because the temples in Egypt and the Pyramids

Age, I don't think.

Yeah. They also formed the first system of we might call international banking. So the knights templars would traveling to and from Jerusalem on a pilgrimage, which a lot of Christians did back in these days, which I would love to do one of these days.

You couldn't just carry.

Around all of the gold and all the money you're gonna need for the next year of your life, because you'll get bandits attack you on the road, right, And this is a thing that a lot of the Islamic bandits were doing to the Christian pilgrims who were going unarmed because they're on pilgrimage. So the Knights Templar started

Share They weren't Jews, you.

Would think, you would think, but no, no, they weren't. Uh. As a matter of fact, they.

Were kind of They were not too kind of the Jews to be completely honest with you, but that you know, historically.

Speaking, neither were the Muslims.

So is what it is. But anyway, so they would have this international banking system set up, and they were allowed to own land. As a matter of fact, at one point in time they bought Cyprus, like the island of Cyprus, which that was because of Richard the lion Heart,

We killed all these people, but like, ma bad.

The Catholic Church be doing that.

Sometimes the Catholic Church be doing that quite a bit.

They do, yeah, they do. So the Knights Templars went underground. A lot of them were murdered, a lot of them were arrested, but there was a few that escaped to Portugal, which was seen as a safe haven for the Knights Templars.

Both of those dudes are dead within a year.

Interestingly enough, Wow, so all the things okay, so they came first.

Then this is where then came. Well, this is where the legend begins. Because when the knights Templars were arrested, all of their storehouses which were full of gold, their banks, they think of their big banking hubs, they're big vaults. When they were arrested the green gods, let's think about that, the Knight's templar version of green gods all over Europe, all over what in one spot, hundreds of these locations. When they were arrested, all of the guards went in

So either to this day, to this day, the gee's got it.

I don't think so.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I think that they had some inside knowledge because they were very well funded and very well plugged in. So when the King of France decided that he was going to come and excommunicate them and do well, the pope ex communicate the king arrested them. I have a weird feeling that somebody in the king's court overheard the conversation and got word to the knight's templars and they got all the gold out

It goes back to this.

So none of the gold was ever found, and there's a bunch of groups that still to this day will claim that that's where they got their austatious wealth from is from templar gold or something like that. I am of the belief that a lot of it made its way to Portugal, some of it made its way to England, some of it made its way to the northern European countries. Whatever the case, there's all kinds of people that claim

Oh, I didn't realize that.

So this is where the templar connection comes.

So this is like the Knights templar that they're claiming is the fake ones, not the true ones.

Yes, Oh okay, okay, So you.

Know what with that one. Let's go ahead and share the screen and we're gonna play a quick little clip about Rosalind Chapel and templars. And there's iconography that would say that, oh, clearly the Knights Templers are here. This is what we would call a forgery. But beside the point, I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen. Let's talk

A building is just a building until it becomes part of a story, and the story becomes part of a legend. That's what happened to Rosalind Chapel, located just seven miles southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland. The chapel was founded in fourteen forty six by Sir Williams and Clair as a Roman Catholic collegiate church, meaning it was self governing, with financial support coming from the Sinclair family. What really made Rosalind Chapel famous was the twenty three publication of Dan Brown's

So breaking this down the reason why and back to the history lesson here. The reason why the Knights Templars were called the Knights Templars was actually they started off being the poor Knights of Christ. That was their official name in the papal bowl from the Pope. But they

Didn't actually know the history of how they got their name at all.

Right, okay, fair enough, fair enough. And that's is part of the.

Reason why we're doing this episode. We're just going in deep, you know, so tell me Allegedly they found certain relics. And I don't like the fact that he even brought up the Holy Grail. Here's the deal, y'all. The Holy Grail doesn't exist. I hate to be that asshole.

You don't think it exists.

It only gets brought up in Middle Aged Romantic literature the same way that King Arthur's sword Excalibur.

Gets brought up.

You are not gonna say that Excalaber doesn't exist or the Lady in the Lake doesn't exist.

Okay, that's rude.

King Arthur being a play a dude, sure, a Camelot being a spot okay, fine, Merlin being a druid wizard, okay, fine, sure, for sure. But the part itself Excalibur, and that's the thing, perfect example, was it the Lady in the lake or did he pull the sword from the stone. Mmmmm.

See, yep, there's if I and I don't even want to be incorrect about this. I feel like at one point the lady in the lake gave it to him, and then something happened.

Then he ended up having to pull it from the stone too.

So I've actually never heard that there was a connection between the two counts. Depending on the las you go down, either A it was given to him by a lady in the lake, or B only the true king can pull the sword from the stone, and this ten year old comes up and yanks it.

But that's my point, Hannah.

It doesn't matter what you look up on this one because there is no set story, because this is not true. This is a legend Excalibur itself. Yeah, maybe King Arthur had a sword he called Excalibri, but the backstory of its complete fabrication because it was about romantic literature. The same could be said for the Holy Grail, the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper.

There is zero, zero, evidence at all.

That the disciples or the apostles i should say, kept any of the plate in silverware and cups or anything from the Last Supper. Because keep in mind they all went into hiding immediately after he was taken and crucified and rose from the dead. That wasn't even their house they went to find. There was a random house that already had the Passover feast set up. It wasn't even their spot. That wasn't their cups, their plates or any

And so I feel like the Holy Grail might exist all Probably it probably is not, maybe honestly because of course India and Jones is like the best. But sure, you know, it was like the most simple cup because it was just like not anything fancy house that they were at so cold. It could had the cup existed, because you know whatever, they kept it because that was like the last thing that he touched.

Maybe, so is it still around, Not highly probable, But you.

Know, there's a few of them.

There's a few of these artifacts that people talk about these days that again, if you want to believe in them, fine, you're you're not like a bad person or a bad Christian or whatever. You're not a bad or you know, you're not committing evil by believing that the Holy Grail is a real thing, or the longenest Spear is a real thing, or oh they had a fragment of the

This is the true fucking cross. Because I said, so.

You yeah, like that's oh.

To be fair, I did look up the history of the sword, so I was correct. There's two. So either there's two swords or the sword got repaired. So cause originally he got the sword from the stone and then it broke and then he got it repaired by the lady in the lake. So there's an argument that there's two, that there's either two swords or that it is the same sword that got repaired.

Yeah.

So if anyone wants to actually read the history of it, you can go to Ancient Word and Origins and they'll like break down the entire story.

But I really I vibe.

I vibe with Skyle, but I'm not gonna lie like it's a it's a great story.

It's a story, and it is great and it does teach lessons and all these things.

But like then we get into the conversation of the Green Knight versus Lancelot, which one's actually the bad guy?

Mm hmmm, Yeah, there's a lot of different versions of Lancelot and was he good?

Was he bad?

Was he envious that he actually you know, purposely go behind King Arthur, like there's a whole bunch of different variations of the story or no one will know the truth.

Never because it's more possible that these are legends that were attributed to an ancient kingdom that probably existed.

Yes, but all of these.

Other story arcs and character arcs were kind of made famous from.

Playwrights m.

Well back to this though. So the Holy Grail they potentially found.

Which again there's no record decision, which.

Why would it be here? Of all places? It would not? I don't feel like so that's just me.

So that's the other.

Thing, right, they say that they found the Holy Grail underneath the Temple of Solomon. Just so we're all clear. The Temple of Solomon was housed by the dudes that murdered Jesus. Why the fuck would they keep the cup that the heretic they called Jesus.

Why would they keep that?

They didn't see that unless they thought it had magical powers.

But again, there's no evidence to suggest this, and the Jews wouldn't give a fuck about that. They got their own version of things that have magical powers, and shit, it just it makes no sense. But yes, some say that the Knights Templar found the Holy Grail. Then you'll read Dan Brown's book and he'll say, actually, the Holy Grail is Mary Magdalene, and she and Jesus had babies, and that's the bloodlines that led to European royalty. And again there is less than zero evidence to say that

If we're gonna say that that the apostle.

John and Mary Magdalene may have had children together and maybe that bloodline became the royalty of Europe. Okay, we're talking about two apostles. Essentially, that would be wild as fuck. But the sci fi murder mystery Who done it? Book, the da Vinci cod says a whole nother story. But we're getting off topic. So they say that they found the Holy Grail. They say they found the head of

But even so, soundly, it's bullshit.

It sounds like it's bullshit, but it.

Sounds like they just made up some shit and they're like, you know that, But like, but why specifically, I guess who created the Freemasons, Like who is the founder of it?

Well, that depends on who you ask, because the Freemasons will claim that it goes back to Hiram Abiff, who is one of the architects of the Temple of Solomon, original Temple of Solomon.

Because it's like, okay, well who created it?

So they would have they would have had to have knowledge of the Knights templar and like there are at least some of their information. And then fast forward to this time. So were they a historian, Like did they you know?

I don't know.

I think it's kind of interesting though, Like you'd had to have known about it. You'd had to have found the records and read about the specific group to understand kind of what they went.

Through to be able to base this group off of them.

Yeah, you would think, you would think, But then cut to the Renaissance. You have these groups that are operating in secret. And for the record, it wasn't just the Freemasons. There was all kinds of these aristocratic groups that would get together to discuss philosophy and they would exchange, you know, ideas about so many different things. Well, that's kind of the point of what freemasonry became, right, So it was no longer the craftsmen. You mean the dudes that are

Okay, I actually thought this was more of a religious group than anything. More of like a culty religious group kind of.

Vibe so it became that, but that's not what we're gonna get to that orig We're gonna get to that when we talk about Albert Pike. But so where it started from was basically around the Renaissance. Leave your religion

Do you think that maybe one of the Stonemasons was hired to I don't know, maybe fix something that they were able to find the records of the Knights, Like they were hired by the church, and they found the records and they like read the records and then like they I don't know, word of mouth, it decided to create some kind of society like hey, these people were kind of cool back in the day, Like it's brow thing, like we could do this too.

So how can I put this without sounding insulting to people?

How much experience do you have with college fraternities.

I'm I mean I know a good bit about them. Okay, I was gonna join a sorority.

Okay, So every fraternity, if you ask them, will say that they are the ones that created beer pong.

They were actually.

The first Greek brotherhood in the United States. They were the first to create the beer pong as well. They all have these stories of legend and lord that make them the original and make them so much cooler than all the rest. It's all bullshit. It's all stories. It's all It doesn't matter who created it, but everyone claims that they were the first, they are the biggest, they are the oldest, all these things. It's the same with like motorcycle clubs, like the Hell's Angels believe that they

Okay, I guess I was just trying to figure out exactly like how it got started and how they like linked themselves to a thing that was five hundred years previous. So in my mind, I'm just trying to follow the chain of events of like who did this? Like who who created this whole situation? And like how do they

Let's let's take this and run with it.

It would stand to reason that it would have started with actual Stonemasons, because, like we're saying, they come up with these these spiritual stories to kind of juxtapose on to their craft in the building of these temples and things, and then perhaps somewhere along the way it did take more of a esoteric and spiritual meaning behind it. And then you get some guys that are of a higher mind and a little more educated. They're like, wait a minute,

And over time, one thing leads to another.

Well, when you look at the Renaissance, though, because that's when you really see a lot of the amazing stone work coming out again and so they were intermixed with the art groups, which were intermixed with the philosophy groups, and they were all interconnected to each other and having

Into what it became.

Exactly.

I don't know if that's actually the chain of events, but at least in my mind, that's what I'm thinking it would be.

I agree absolutely. So you know what, Okay, let's read this. This is from the Masons themselves. Here a brief history and philosophy of the Scottish Right. And I got another one pulled up about the York Right as well. So let's learn La France Lodge number ninety three. This is

So this is an image that you've.

Probably seen on a lot of cars, right. So, and you see this number thirty two, The highest degree you could get is a thirty third degree mason, and this is of the Scottish rite. Thirty two is just below it. And to get to thirty three, the only place that you could do this is at the Grand Lodge in Washington, DC. And it's a wild, wild pyramid in the middle of Washington, DC.

The history of aasr the.

Masons. The origin of the speculative masonry is to be found in the medieval Scottish operative mason labor guilds. These early regulations are the old charges quote unquote of operative stone Masons described in the Regius Manuscript of thirteen ninety and William Shawl's Statutes of fifteen ninety eight and fifteen

Okay.

So Scottish Freemasonry started moving to England in the sixteen forties, and the Great Fire of London in sixteen sixty six brought many more craftsmen from Ireland and Scotland to help with the reconstruction of the city. All they are likely to have shared their legends and primitive Masonic rituals and catechisms.

The stone mason guilds started taking on members into their little groups, their clubs if you will, that weren't actual crafting stone masons.

Okay, so this is where it started to change.

Basically, Yes, And this is around once again, the sixteen forties, sixteen sixty six, Like I said, sixteen hundreds into the seventeen hundred. They're talking of Renaissance era here, right, So moving forward, Speculative masonry at its creation is likely to have been somewhat deprived of substance, as was influenced by the playful societies of the eighteenth century England, meeting in taverns where talking, dining, card playing, and even gambling prevailed

We'll get to.

And then there's whiteside free masonry that we'll talk about more towards the end. But again getting way ahead of myself, the above mentioned manuscripts included only two degrees, apprenticed and fellow of the craft. That's the word I was trying to look for earlier, I said, fellow craftsman, fellow.

Of the craft.

The arid as the first informal constitution of what would become Scottish Rite in France. At a time when masonry

The degree was officially.

Mentioned in the in the is credible when one knows that the Duke of War in seventeen thirty eight second edition of Anderson's Constitution, James Hector MacLean and Lord Darwin Tar Darwin Water Jesus Christ As for high degrees, the first reference appears in seventeen twenty eight, and there is a record in the Daily Journal of September fifth, seventeen fifty three I'm sorry, seventeen thirty five confirming that a degree of Scots or Scotch Master was conferred at Temple

So this is where we went.

From sixteen hundreds, we kind of have of groups of stone mason guilds who are kind of talking about some esoteric things, but it's more stories to oral tradition their craft a bit. Then it kind of gets into the high societies of the Reformation and another Reformation I should say, the the the Renaissance, and then the first time we actually have documented time frames as far as like a higher degree of masonry goes early seventeen hundreds.

So the babies compared to a lot of the other secret orders that have been about for a long time.

Well, give me an example of a secret order that predates this. And I'm not saying this to challenge you. I'm just so the cult members of what we're talking about.

The nine that you talked about and the twelve that you talked about that had been around for a long.

Time Ashoka's Nine Unknown Men, which I just because my own biases I believe still exist. There's no record of them existing after Ashoka died, but I believe they do. And then there's other organizations like the Twelve, but that's like the Zodiac Club in New York, and that only has existed for like one hundred years. Yeah, but as far as Freemasons are concerned, they claim their lineage back to the Knights Templars.

And then also they are one of the.

Oldest, if not the oldest, secret fraternal orders on Earth that are still been operating without fail. That being said, when you start to look back and peel back the layers of the onion as far as where their origin story really starts from sixteen hundred seventeen hundreds maybe.

I mean they're some pretty old, to be honest with you. Sixteen h yeah, hot minute ago.

So oh it's nothing to scoff at by any means, but right before the founding of America kind of thing.

So when we're talking about.

These ancient orders from like the Germany, the Bohemians, and the ancient orders of the Priesthood from Egypt and and all these things, Yeah, the Freemasons aren't as old as they would want.

People to believe, for sure.

But all right, So continuing on, so this degree seventeen thirty six. This higher degree, if you will, this degree was conferred on Blue Lodge masters. However, even if these early high degrees were practiced in England, probably under the Scottish influence, they grew up and expanded in France. Andrew Michael Ramsey, a French speaking Scottish baronet, is likely to

His dad was the king. He got usurped.

Basically, or I forget if it was he was usurped, or if basically they handed the reigns of Scotland to the English king until Charlie was old enough to reign, and then the king said no, I'm never given this back kind of thing. But either way it goes. The Jacobite rebellion that took place was basically the end of the Highland way of life for Scotland. No longer would you have clans and war chiefs. Now you would have essentially British nobles that would take over swaths of Scotland.

I remember hearing about some things.

In Belgium. I remember hearing about something in the Lens, But at that point it's more like where we draw in the line between legend and law and historical fact, you know what I mean. But anyway, so he gave his his oration in Paris, and so, like they said, the Grand Lodge in France were Catholics and Jacobites. Meanwhile,

So they just were pissing contests of one upping each other to get to the highest level.

That's it, that's essentially.

And so how do we turn from this which didn't sound honestly that terrible, Like when you're reading the top part to the super bad shit that people associate with the thirty three degrees and like the ones that like do some heinous, horrible crap to get to that level.

How the hell did we go from this to that?

It's very funny that you would bring this up, because like, in just a second, we're going to be talking about this guy right here, Albert Pike, who was a Confederate general, who made it what it was or what it is.

So let's keep going here.

So Ramsey's seventeen thirty seven oration, widely published in seventeen forty one, and its allusions to Knight's crusades, resulted in an explosive proliferation of so called Scottish degrees.

Although they were French products.

So just we're clear there is zero connection from original Knights templars to Freemasons.

But because certain things got.

Said enough times, people just took it and ran with it, and now it's just seen as documented facts, even though not even a little bit. But moving on, at some stage, there would be one four hundred and fifty degrees in use in fifty two Rits covered by seventy five orders.

Jeez, So keep this in mind. We have two orders.

Now we have the.

Scottish or we have two rights Scottish right in New York.

Right.

That's it.

That's all freemasonry has on the entire earth. And they have thirty three degrees. But why did this happen? Well, because there was all these crazy degrees, which is also where Whiteside Masonry comes from. We'll get to that towards the very end here, fifty two rites. Because everybody wanted to start their own thing. They still wanted to be Masons, but they want to do their own thing with it.

Or whatever the case would be.

You had all these people basically founding without any kind of hierarchy to say that that is and is not free and accepted Masons. That's why these charters all have F and AM on their logos. If you ever drive by a Masonic lodge in your local town, you'll see, you know, F and AM which stands for Free and Accepted Masons. Because there's all kinds of Masonic orders out there that are operating that are not accepted. They are not true free Masons. They're not actually under the adherents

All this other shit's too much.

We're losing the plot here this We're gonna get it right back down to the original basis.

Oh, why listen to this person.

Though, because Albert Pike was an extremely influential guy, he was a member of multiple organizations. The two most notable would be the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Freemasons, both of which do very esoteric I don't want to use the term black magic because that's not necessarily true here,

Before they got into like super super bad shit, right, so before old boy made it what it is, which is fascinating to me how one person can change the course of history and impact so many people's lives.

And most people don't even know who this guy is. That's the crazy part.

Most people.

If you've because of you exactly, and this guy is what changed the movers and shakers of the world by writing a couple of publications and no one knows about them. It's mind blowing. Okay, but anyway, anyway, so let's can go in here. So the first official mention we talked about that, Ramsey also extolled the chival chivalric ideal of France's regulations denying any superior powers to the Knights Crusaders, whose heroic courage had been Scottish Masons over the masters

There's zero evidence of that.

But anyway, over the energizing and unifying factor of christian the succeeding decades or Christianity, I should say, high degrees spread over the world, eventually resulting in the progress of civilization of the Western Hemisphere, and in seventeen sixty one A tom Moram though the merging of the Eastern and Western that's basically what that means refined, received a patent

Wow, like it's look it like split it apart. Ramsey was con this, and it's convinced that though.

Yeah, I feel like didn't know that spellcheck exists.

I don't know. Yeah, this is from the Grand Lodge. This is one of their documents.

But okay, wow, super consolidation of both mystical and crusade.

Yeah, that's where you're at.

Yeah, So the consolidation of both mystical mystical and a cascade of Deputy Inspector generals in New York and chivalric virtues. The Masons would uh the mason's mind would more. In seventeen sixty eight, three brothers, including Moses Michael Hayes, easily regained the wisdom and love of its original divine and a businessman of Dutch parentage, were empowered nature that makes no sense to confer all degrees in the West Indies

This is what you may hear a term called a purple lodge.

That's kind of a like a nickname given, but that's not an actually accepted term. But essentially it is all still within the realm of the Knights templars. And this is the Free Masonic Knights Templar logo itself.

I've seen really mm hmmm, I've seen quite a few, but okay, okay, fair enough.

So I think I've seen the purple one and I've seen the blue one a ton.

Okay, So you may have seen some of these other ones. Maybe you have, maybe you have not, but uh, these are other logos that you may see.

The crown, uh this, uh, this square, I've seen that one with the.

Wreath and the green triangle. The Grand York right bodies the red Rosicrucian or rose of Cronston.

I've seen that one.

This is also a symbol for the Hermitic or a tree of life. This one is talking about how they're all knights, templars of the USA, Cryptic Mason's jurisdictions.

Uh yeah, these are These are just more logos that you might see.

I've seen a couple of those, but some of those I really haven't seen. But I've seen a couple of those throughout like down here, and I've seen a lot of.

Them on their hats.

Yeah.

So, or they'll hand out the pins, or they have them on the side of the floats.

So absolutely absolutely so. Again not to get way too often too the weeds here, but this is more of the emblems you might see. Also, this one, this is what we would call a keystone or a cornerstone, and they use this for the the de Molay mark, the children's group of the Freemasons, Like if you're a Freemason and you want your kid to be associated with the order. They're called the Molayans, named after Jacques de Molay.

Huh So all of those are different groups that are those are part of the fifty two rites that were created.

Okay, no, no, no, these are accepted these days. These are accepted. It's like subsets.

So you'll have it's like the variation flavors of Christianity.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay.

You'll see some that are like.

The Order of Tall Cedars, the Molayans, the Eastern Star.

All of these are groups.

That are within the Word of Bunker Hill.

Yeah, Order of the Mystic Time, They.

Order of the Order of Rainbow.

Order of Rainbow is one. Absolutely that the Shrine Clowns, that's another one.

Okay, now you're just being ridiculous. Daughters of the Nile. I have heard of White Shine Jerusalem.

Daughters of the Nile, Order of the Eastern Star, Order of Amaranth, National National Sojourners Tall.

So all these fall under the now recognized way of the Freemasons. So all of them participate in the same rituals. They're just different flavors of it, absolutely, okay. And so for a lot of the ones down here with just the g they're not really like doing anything satanic. They're more or less because I see them out doing a lot of charity work. I see them out. I've talked to a lot of the guys. They just seem like they're they just want to part of it, be a part of some like boys club essentially.

And that's I will say this ninety nine point nine percent. I know, I know, listen, but listen, I understand this that they are going to never do anything evil, like the vast, vast majority of Freemasons, A have never heard of the crazy shit that so many conspiracy theorists. Well, they may have heard the conspiracy, but they don't know about Albert Pike's book, right, or they haven't read it covered they don't read it.

I thought they like had to read it, like this was something that they have to know to be able to participate.

Not really, I mean you can't.

It's recommended that you would read it, but it's not like you don't have to read it to be a Mason by any means. It's kind of like the Blue Bible. They have Masonic Bibles that they're not different from regular Bibles. They just have some like marginal notes, and they have some pictures, and they have some things that they draw comparisons to Freemasonry from the Bible which again you have to you got to really try to see those connections.

So what is the third like, what do they have to do at the thirty three level specifically.

Well, I'm glad you bring that up. Let's move forward in the conversation to Albert Pike. So this is a book that he wrote, the Masonic Formulas and Rituals. This is a well, I didn't mean to do that, old up, old up. This is public but a publication twenty ten Scottish Rite Research Society.

So let's read the excerpt.

Here the source of Albert Pike's Ritual Revisions, transcribed from the original copy in the archives vault of the Supreme Council. This never before published work includes the complete collection of rituals which Albert Pike received when he joined the Scottish Right in eighteen fifty three. After receiving the degrees, Pike borrowed the manuscript rituals and over the next two years he transcribed his own copies. He later used these texts

So who is this guy?

How did he get so, you know, ostensibly the key figure in what we would now call freemasonry. So Albert Pike, who alive eighteen oh nine to eighteen ninety one. He was a lawyer who played a major role in the development of early counts of Arkansas and played an active role in the.

State's politics prior to the Civil War.

He was also a central figure in the development of Masonry in the state and later became a national leader of that organization. So during the Civil War he commanded the Confederacy the Confederate's Indian territory, raising troops there and exercising field command in one battle. He also was a talented poet and writer, which would go into him writing these books. Also him being a lawyer, he was a wordsmith,

At one point in time, just a.

Few years ago, and your boy Donnie t made sure that that statue got put back up.

It's worth mentioning anyway.

Was he like a horrible human being? Well, obviously with what he wrote, but like he was what he did.

He was a Confederate general who wanted to keep slavery and was very clear about the fact that they are worshiping Lucifer.

Okay, you know it's the red flags just keep popping up with good old Donnie T.

There's so many.

Yeah, but I don't even know if Donny T even knew that about Albert Pike or not. I'm not out of one now. I don't think he's like the artist dude on Earth.

Okay, I don't think that he's that stupid at all, but I am, but I am curious to see what this whole Epstein situation with Malania coming out on National TV yesterday and saying that, hey, by the way, we're doing this, and it's like, ooh, we're okay, they're gonna look in They're going to forcibly look into the Epstein files because there is more people connected than just Epstein.

Okay, we'll see, which we've been saying that, but anyway, we'll get to we'll do it.

That's a whole episode in and of itself.

But for him to put this man, this piece of shit statue back up.

Yeah, no, you can't just say that he didn't know about it.

So you got to keep in mind how much money the Masons have to throw around, and it's very possible that enough Masons threw enough money into his fund. Trump's fun to be like, hey, you know, it'd be really cool as if you put up our patron homie back up. And maybe you know, listen, I heard he was a pretty good guy. I don't know they say that, some people say that I don't know, but sure it's a fucking statue.

What difference does it make?

I could see that being a part of the conversation too, or I very well knew exactly what this was and was like, yeah, we need that guy back. I don't know.

I'm totally gonna buy the book because I want to read it. Yep, all right, I already found it while we were talking. I found I found a nineteen oh six version.

I got to pull it up right here, which we're gonna talk about more and some of the quotes from it, some of the more.

I want to actually like get my hands on a copy of it because I want to see.

Yeah, so all right, So moving on. Albert Pike was born in Boston, Massachusetts, eighteen oh nine. He was one of six children of a cobbler, and his mom was Sarah.

He attended public school in Byfield.

Newbury Port and uh Farm Framington, Framingham Jesus, Massachusetts. Here receees an education that provided him with the background in classical and contemporary literature and in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Now I remember we've talked about that in this day.

If you could speak English, fine, whatever, Latin, or you're educated Greek. Oh, you've got a high level of education.

Hebrew. Oh you're clearly like a doctorate at something.

Obviously clearly his word is like law.

Not many people had the knowledge of all four of those languages. So this, that right off the rip, tells you this guy.

Was educated, educated.

He passed cobbler though, yeah, you wouldn't think, yeah.

Like a cobbler and like that.

How and why I'm curious how that happened in one of six like they normally that doesn't you wouldn't get that kind of level education.

Well, let's talk about it further. Because he stopped off at.

Harvard, he passed the examination required for entry into Harvard when he was just sixteen. However, he was unable to pay the tuition at Harvard, and he began to teach, working at schools in newbury Port, near Gloucester, and Fairhaven later in his life. In eighteen fifty nine, he earned an honorary Master of Arts degree from Harvard for his deep scholarship. So he independently, on his own studied these things,

He was one of six kids. Yeah, you know, they didn't have the money for that.

So when he was fifty he earned it all right.

And this is after the whole Civil War, I actually know, right before it. So he began to write poetry as a young man, which he continued to do for the rest of his life, and when he was twenty three he published his first poem, Hymns to the Gods. Subsequent poems appeared in contemporary literary sources such as Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine and local newspapers. His first collection of poetry, prose sketches and poems written in the Western Country appeared in

He could read pretty good.

In eighteen thirty three, he published in local newspapers letters in support of Robert Crittenden's candidacy for territorial delegate to Congress. The anonymous letters, signed Casco after one of the Roman politicians who assassinated Julius Caesar, were considered very persuasive and secured him for a statewide reputation as a writer.

They also attracted attention from Charles.

Bertrand, owner of the Whig Party Arkansas Advocate, who invited Pike to Little Rock's Pulaski's County to work as the editor. Pike accepted the job and moved to the capital city, and while working for The Advocate, Pike published a series of stories and poems about his adventures in New Mexico. The material later published in The pro Stories and Poems Written in the Western Country. In addition to editing the paper, Pike secured additional work in Little Rock as a clerk

The next year he became its sole proprietor.

Pike studied law while editing the newspaper, ultimately passing the Arkansas Bar exam in either eighteen thirty six or eighteen thirty seven. In the later year or the latter year, he sold the newspaper and devoted his time to the law. He demonstrated considerable legal prowess early and represented clients and courts at every level level, including the United States Supreme Court, which he received permission to practice before in eighteen forty nine.

I mean, the dude, damn old boy was really smart.

I mean you're talking like that's like at least six or seven languages that he, yeah, like was able to speak and read.

We're talking pre Civil War.

You got the US government to actually pay the natives for the land they stole.

Ah.

Yeah, homeboy was perspasive by lah.

Yeah, Okay, that man had the words for sure.

That's probably why he picked the old girl because she had money.

Oh, he knew what he was doing. Yes. So from eighteen thirty six eighteen forty four, Pike was the first reporter to the Arkansas Supreme Court, charged with writing notes on the relevant points in court decisions. He published the Index Court's Opinions. In eighteen forty two, he published the Arkansas Form Book, a tool for lawyers providing models for the different kinds of motions to be filed in the

Before he was even fifty.

Yes, and Dition As ambition public figure, Pike joined Order others in eighteen forty five and supporting actions against Mexico what became the Mexican War. He helped raise Little Rock Guards, a company incorporated into the Arkansas Cavalry Regiment of Colonel Archibald Yell, and served as a captain. Pike concluded early on that the senior officers of the regiment were incompetent, and he shared his observations with people back in Arkansas

It was all for show.

Anyway. Returning from Mexico, Pike re established his law practice. He promoted the construction of trans Continental Railroad from New Orleans to the Pacific Coast, writing numerous newspaper essays urging support for the project. He moved to New Orleans in eighteen fifty three to further his railroad activities, although he also continued to practice law. He translated French legal volumes into English while preparing to pass the local bar exam

He had long been a.

Whig, which for those it's the Whig and the big parties, this was the conservative and liberals of the day and age like we have Republican and Democrat now. But anyway, but the Whig Party repeatedly refused to address the slavery issue. The failure in Pike's own anti Catholicism led him to join the No Nothing Party upon its creation. The No Nothing Party was a third option that started to gain traction.

Was the Anti Masonic Party.

Can you imagine that everybody's like, man, fuck the Republicans, fuck the Democrats, that's not the point.

We need to get these fucking Masons out of here.

Like that. They did that to the tune of having whole political party associated with it.

Well, maybe they felt very inclined that the Masons were doing some shady shit.

They just wanted to get the old boys club out of it. Like the whole point of America being founded was to leave aristocracy and nobility back in Europe. Yet somehow we now have one with the Masonic League, and it's like it didn't matter if you were on one side of the aisle or the other. All of them were homies.

Yeah, they're all boys club exactly.

So the Anti Masonic Party started as a way to try to shirk that. It didn't go far, but that was if anybody wants to look that up. So anyway, Pike then joined the Know Nothing Party upon its creation in eighteen fifty six. He attended the new party's national convention, but he found it equally reluctant to adopt a strong pro slavery platform. A strong pro slavery platform. Just we're all clear of where he's at.

I'm so confused.

He represented Native Americans and helped them like actually gain traction and get lamp back and all of these things came down to the Louisiana got the bar and all this, and then was still pro slave.

Yeah.

Yeah, it makes no sense to me.

Because they had some feelings towards the black population at that time, and yeah, they had some feelings towards the natives, but like they're not black though.

I mean it depends, I guess on what state you're in, because some of them were just even worse to the native population, so worse.

Yes, but there's very little evidence that Native Americans were slaves. There was attempts, there was absolutely attempts to enslave the Native population. They did not God, there's no way to say this.

We're just gonna move on. No, no, we're just gonna move on from that.

They didn't do well like as slaves. And I'm not saying that to say like, oh, well they weren't good, No, no, no, no. They they were still battling a lot of sicknesses that the white man brought over to this continent. Meanwhile, black people had developed inoculation in Africa, like there's a long list of reasons. But Native American slaves did not go too well. So that's why instead of enslaving them, they just kept kicking them more west and put them on reservations.

So that's what that's about.

So and for the record, his own anti Catholicism here that also meant very anti cath which we talked about very anti Irish. Excuse me, very anti Irish, very anti Italian. So it wasn't just black people that he had an issue with. He was like, okay with the natives, but he didn't think that they were like equal. Yeah, like, let's not be crazy here, rave and they're not. They're not white. So but they were able to pay him for his legal services, and that green mattered more at

Oh yes, who could have seen that come in.

Let's also not negate the fact that on top of writing the book for Morals and Dogma, on top of being very well versed in all the esoteric things, he was also one of the founding fucking members of the Klan.

So yeah, I mean it's I mean, it's pretty obvious that he would have been, especially how he reacted to anything that wasn't pro owning slaves. So yeah, you know, his thing should have been taken down and should stay down.

I agree the piece of shit. I fully agree there. He was engaged for a time in politics, editing the Patriot, a Democrat newspaper for the record, the Democrat Party has always and still is the party of racism start to finish. From eighteen sixty eight to eighteen seventy he also practiced law in partnership with Robert Johnson, former US Senator until

That post until his death.

After the war, he devoted much of his time to rewriting the rituals of Scottish Rite Masons.

For years.

His Morals and Dogma, which was written in eighteen seventy one, still in print, was distributed to members of the Rite. Over his career he published numerous other works on the order, including Meaning of Masonry, Book of the Words, The Point within the Circle. As he aged, he also became interested in spiritualism, particularly Indian thought and its relationship to Masonry. Late in life, he learned Sanskrit and translated various literary

So the dude was, Yes, he was a horrible racist.

But he was also very well read and very intelligent as far as all these languages were concerned. In transliterating these books. Pike was much honored after his death. His Masonic brothers erected a statue of him in nineteen oh one in Washington, d C. Authorities also named the first highway between Hot Springs and Colorado Springs, the Albert Pike Highway. In Colorado, Albert Pike Hotel bears his name, as does the Albert Pike Memorial Temple. Both are in Little Rock,

And you want to tell me that it wasn't coincidence, Like, come on, now, you saw his body was moved in nineteen forty four and put in the temple.

Yep.

They took it from Oak Hill symmetry and then they put it in the temple.

Yep.

No, there's no way that, especially during the shutdown, that this was happening. They weren't aware of what this man did. So we stood for Let's talk a.

Little bit about Well, I want to talk about the legend Hiram Abiff real quick. Let's talk about the book itself, Moral and Dogma by Albert Pike. So Lucifer gets brought up a good bit and he's called the light Bearer, the strange and mysterious name to give to the spirit of darkness, Lucifer, the sun of the morning. It is he who bears the light and with its splendors, intolerable blinds, feeble, sensual.

Or selfish souls.

Doubt it not?

So?

Okay? What the fuck are we talking about here. If two Masons meet each other and they're in public and they don't know each other, but they see the logos or whatever, you might hear them say, oh, okay, I see you're a fellow traveler, and what that means is you are traveling, and you'll they'll ask you what direction are you traveling? Right? Because that also goes into one of the the vows that they take upon joining Free Masonry.

Now, if you'll get one of the older.

Cats, one of the more quote unquote illuminated Masons, i e. Somebody at a higher level, they might say, well, actually, I'm traveling west, And what that means is they've already gone east, attained the illumination, and now they're heading back to elevate brothers of a lower or younger status trying to give them the knowledge and give them the information to help them level up, so to speak. So there's another turn of phrase. But traveling towards the east to

Like it's this isn't a hypothetical.

Interesting and people who like didn't question this, considering how many people were of Catholic and Christian faith back then.

Most people don't read Morals and Dogma. Most Masons have never read the book. They might have a couple of excerpts that they memorized from it because this, again was like what they did as far as their rituals are concerns, so they may read that section. They haven't read the entire thing cover to cover, and even if they did, they would probably overlook that right.

They would probably be like, oh.

Well, I guess this guy was kind of on some wild shit. But anyway, moving on, we'll tell me about this other rich walk out to do when I hit level thirteen. But you see what I'm saying. It's it's not the entire point of the book. But he's also not shy about it either. We already read a little bit about his up bringing, in his past and all these things. So morals and dogma, So the first degree apprenticed, Okay, the twelve inch rule and the common gabble. Unregulated and irregulated.

Oh, my god, bro as wordy as fuck?

Oh oh, wordy, wordy, she says.

No wonder people haven't read this, Like, dear God, did you just want to hear himself talk like yes, yes, clearly, the tyrants use the force of the people to chain and subjugate that that is, invoke the people.

Wow, this dude brings up under Claudius, under Domitian. Uh, he brings up Caesar, he brings up Cara Kala, he brings up Zeus, he brings up the spawn of Commedas.

Like he's this.

Dude is going on and on and that's just level one.

And these people decided to take this bullshit and apply it national or worldwide. Yeah to the Masons. And now this is how they follow it, Like why would you do this?

I mean, he's clearly smarter than me, so I need to listen to.

I mean, somebody at some point could have like rewritten this by now and made it like a lot better and be like, you know, maybe we should take out a lot of this shit where like hurting people or children or whatever they do is not a vibe.

So let's just read this too.

These are the ten commandments from morals and dogma. Okay, let's go. God is eternal, omnipotent, immutable wisdom and supreme intelligence and exhaustless love. Thou shalt adore, revere and love him. Thou shalt honor him by practicing the virtues. And they don't mean the virtues of the Bible. They mean the virtues of freemasonry. Thy religion shall be to do good because it is a pleasure to THEE, and not merely because it is a duty. That thou mayest become the

Okay.

Number eight, thou shalt allow no passions to become thy master. Thou shalt make the passions of other profitable lessons to thyself. Thou shalt be indulgent to error. Number nine Thou shalt hear much, Thou shall speak little. Thou shalt act act well. You should forget injuries, You should render good for evil. You should not misuse either thy strength or thy superiority. And number ten thou shalt study to know men, that thereby thou mayst learned to know thyself. Thou shalt ever

Okay, So okay, So, like, how do we get from that to what is it exactly that they do in the thirty third degree?

Like, what is it they're supposed to do?

Oh, for the record, everything we just did was that was just first level. Now we're at level two, fellow craft. So let's see if I could scroll down to the finals of the thirty third and you know, it'll just give you a better picture than one I could give you honestly. Oh oh, there was one. There was Satan. There was Satan. Hold on where I just had it.

No, okay, basically, and it's been a long.

Time since I like actually thumbed through the book myself. But it gets more in depth the higher up and levels you go. And oh, here we go. That was all twenty sixth So now at twenty seven now, Commander of the Temple, it goes on and on and on on, but essentially, essentially at the thirty third degree, they have

Hmm okay.

And because they don't see Lucifer as the negative, they don't see him as the evil being.

They see him as.

The light bearer, the illuminated one, the one that gives the humans the knowledge of good and evil and all these things. It's crazy, the twenty eighth degree Night of the Sun or Prince Adept they keep. The more higher up you go in levels, the more grandiose the titles sound. To be completely honest with you, it's a very long book. I'm scrolling through right now and I'm on page four hundred and ten of this type of reading, which again is very very poetic in nature. To be honest with.

You, he's long witted, bitch, Oh, very long winded. He really likes to hear himself talk, which.

I mean, you've got a guy that's speaking all these different languages and is this well versed in this many things.

And keep in mind the day and age he was living in.

This is around the same time where the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was going on, right, and he was He wasn't a member of this, but he absolutely was a studier of some of the esoteric principles. This is end of the eighteen hundreds, is when that really got going. This is out Alistair Crowley, Madam Blovotsky, all these people call young who started speaking on esoteric principles and trying to get them into the upper echelon circles, so to speak. You know right here you find it. Well, no,

This is pretty much the last chapter.

Title twenty nine Scottish Writers Saying of Scape Jesus Christ twenty ninth degree in Freemasonry, the Scottish Knight of Saint Andrew, thirtieth degree, Knight Kodash or Kadash, thirty one Inspector Inquisitor and thirty second degree Master of the Royal secret There is no other chapter beyond this, the kind of wrap them all up into this, and then the final one just kind of talks about and as in each Trianglar perfection,

It's so, how did they get the thirty third? Like who created it? Did Pike create it? And then like it's just an oral thing that they decided to do essentially.

And I mean, I don't want to even give him the distinction of saying he created it, but he's the one that really put pin to paper and sectioned it off to be what it is. If that makes sense. Let me see here.

More So, if they're just if they're just hailing Satan, are they actually committing like hainous crimes like so many people talk about, like the conspiracies talk about like they have to kill somebody or they have to do like horrible shit to be able to get to the thirty third? Like are they actually doing that or is it just more of a conspiracy?

No again, ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of Masons are not doing any conspiratorial things.

They're just they're just dudes. They're just a part of a boys club.

They like to get together and do some charity work, smoke some stoves, have a little glass of brandy, you know, and bring in the younger generation and the networking and the financial benefits. If you ever get jammed up, they'll come to your aid. And there's so many things. There's so many benefits on paper to joining. It's the ones at the very tippy top. And that's the other thing too.

But remember how we talked about earlier.

There was four thousand rights and all these things and degrees and all this shit.

Yeah, fifty two.

So there is.

Less known about these groups because worldwide there's only thirty three accepted levels and that's all blue side. However, not only did the elites of the past decide that thirty three was the number they should stop, they also decided that there should be an offshoot that only the select of the select of the select could even be invited to.

Most thirty third degree Masons, they may know.

That it exists, but most of them will never actually go to a meeting of Whiteside Free Masons. There's three hundred and sixty degrees within white Side free Masonry, and it is overly magic with a K. There is the sacrifices, there is the actual demonic entities that they are doing deals with, and all these things. And again, your average Mason has never even heard of this, or they've heard that, Oh yeah, that conspiracy. It's a yeah, totally that's a thing, but they don't actually believe it.

It is absolutely a real thing.

Okay, I didn't know that was actually like a real thing.

Yep. It's existed four years, but it didn't get officially recognized until after morals and dogma had been And because that's not just an American publication, Mason's worldwide use that to talk about the thirty two degrees of Scottish.

Right free Masonry.

York right has I want to say, like thirteen levels to it, and they like they jump up. It's like you go from three to five to seven to thirteen to nineteen. There's not as many independent levels as you do with the Scottish right, but essentially you can achieve thirty third through the York or the Scottish. That's the other distinction as well. Now there are dudes that do both. They will go all the way up on the York right side, and then they will go all the way up on.

The Scottish right side. That takes years.

That takes money, like your whole year, like your whole life.

And that's the other thing too.

Let's say you go to that level, you become a York right, you become a templar, which you're finally seeing as a templar when you hit the twentieth level, right, Okay, cool. And then you go all the way to the tippy top of that side, and then you go to the shriner side, to the Scottish right, and you're doing all these things and you finally you've spent decades of your life studying this information and applying all these philosophical mind fucks to your life to make yourself what you're trying

I try to look up the White Side stuff, and there's like no information on it. I did find that the chapter that is the Freemasons for all of Europe, and so that's interesting. You can click on each country and find all sorts of information about that.

So yeah, you're not going to find a lot of online information about the White Side because specifically, it's.

All I hear saying hush hush conversations and channels.

Kind of a situation I.

Met one one time when I was in DC. As a matter of fact, I saw a logo on the back of a car that I didn't recognize. And I'm somebody who has been looking into the Freemason since I was in like middle school, like real shit. So when I saw this specific logo, I asked him about it, and he didn't tell me anything about it except for the fact that and I was a young marine at this time.

He didn't tell me. He's like, oh, that's that's Whiteside masonry. And I'm like.

You you mean, like cause you'll see the white logo with a Masonic emblem and that's fine, whatever, cool, cool, That's not what this logo was. And I was like, I still, I'd never seen this before my life, and I was like, it was next to a bunch of other Masonic logos, So I knew that it was connected in some way, shape or form, and he's like, yeah, that's not offered in this country. And I'm like, so, what is it. He's like, well, you know, to tell.

You that I have to kill you.

You know that. The Mason's always make that joke whenever you ask him about it or whatever.

But he's probably actually being serious at that time.

I think he might have been.

I think he might have been.

This was God, where was I. I forget what kind of big event, big dinner I was at or whatever, but I saw that and I had to.

Ask about it.

But yeah, so whiteside masonry is literally just not offered in this country.

I don't think there's more than there.

May be the old country.

Yeah, like there may be four or five Whiteside Masons in America, like real shit.

I don't mean lodges, I mean individuals, all right.

Anyway, we could go more and more in depth on this the legend of Hiramabefuh. We could also go more in depth as far as Philadelphia's founding years were rife with conspiracy fears about the godless Freemasons in the Illuminati. You know, actually, let's do this one. Let's do this one stead because the Hira mabief one is a long, a long read, and honestly, we can make a whole episode about Hire mabiff In and of itself. So let's talk about this. So we do know that George Washington

Freemasons built notable.

Structures throughout the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey areas, as well as New York, Boston, and other parts of New England. But because the group's rituals and oaths were shielded from public view and performed in clandestine sessions in Masonic temples, rumors spread about their activities. Some believe Freemasons secretly conspired against American values, especially religion.

Freemasons believed in principles.

Such as rationalism, which views science and logic rather than sensory experiences as the foundation of knowledge. Freemasons also held that everything in the universe is the result of natural causes rather than supernatural or divine. They treated all religions equally. They allow participation in them, but believed no faith was to be favored as possessing the One True God. This was in contrast with the religions argue their doctrine exclusively

So just we're all clear.

I didn't realize that.

Yeah, he made it to where if you are a Catholic and you're also a Freemason, you are hereby excommunicated from the church and you're going to hell.

Oh yeah, that's interesting considering how many Catholics we have downe here and how many Freemasons, so so few of those like under the table things.

The Catholics still have some very deep seated issues with Freemasonry. However, it's one of those laws that like, yeah, it's a law in the books, but who enforces it. You know. It's kind of like, did you know just throwing it out that if you are a Communist and you're a member of the Communist Party in the United States, you are not allowed to hold any public office, Like that's a federal crime.

I did not.

There's a lot of weird rules that I had no I've never heard about known about.

Three members of the Communist Party have been elected to offices when in the last eighteen months, really they should be charged for federal crimes and serve jail time. But it's one of those laws that is not enforced. Yeah, that's the thing, that's a real thing. For the record, Communis are evil. We need to we need They're not people.

We'll have to go a deep dive into this at a later time.

We will have to Europe most outlaw mostly outlawed the movement before seventeen ninety due to the group's attempts to greatly lessen religious influence, which again in seventeen hundreds, that's that's a fate worse than death. The Illuminati occupy key roles in the educational system and government of Bavaria, where they weakened clerical authority. The normally secret of Illuminati attracted attention through their attempts to attend and participate within Masonic temples.

Damn, seventeen ninety eight, we got our conspiracy heads already happening.

If anybody wants to look that up, Proofs of a Conspiracy from seventeen ninety eight, it is, it's a pretty weird read.

And honestly it's not.

It's not some hair brain thing to say, like, hey, there's clearly connections between the Freemasons and the Illuminati, and one of these groups has a lot of members at the very tippy top of our government, and the other one wants to dismantle all the world's government to make one world government. Perhaps we should look a little deeper into this. But of course old Georgie Boy was on the take because he was a member of the Freemason since he was twenty. He was very well aware of

That's not a suspect thing. Some that's clear and obvious. That's how they do.

But all right, they worried this would drive America to become godless or even satanic.

You know, you know, you know, it's weird.

It's weird.

Time to be alive right now, what's going on in our world? Right in our country?

Concerns about the influence of Freemasons persisted in part because American Presidents Washington and James Munroe were Free Masons. The American public was suspicious that these members reached high levels of government due to their influence of Freemasons. In fact, as many as twenty five of the fifty five men who attended the Continental Convention in Philly were Free Masons. Founding father Benjamin Franklin was a devout Mason for fifty years.

Just the quotes of Jesus.

The entire the entire Thomas Jefferson Bible is literally only quotations from Jesus with nothing else. So he was a very well educated man, and I would say he was religious or spiritual. He was not a Christian by any stretch. But anyway, Adam's Federalist Party or we've talked about that one. Ari uh Focin also accused Jefferson of fathering children with an enslaved woman, Sally Hemmings, who he kept as a concubine when he returned with her from France in seventeen

Approximately two point nine billion was that was the world, So it is one hundred and seventy nine million here.

One hundred and seventy nine million, and four million of them were free Masons.

That is a much larger ratio.

So you see that everybody's saying like free Mason ring is on the decline, It really is.

It's like one in every forty five people is a per is one.

So we've gone from one in forty five to one in three sixty. You see what, Yeah, they're definitely on the on the downslope.

Anyway, they bring up certain things.

This is a picture inside of the Egyptian Hall at the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia. You see a lot of the iconography. You got the wings, you got the pharaoh's heads. This is clearly a Shriner lodge because the Shriners are more of the Eastern philosophy. If it was a Knight's Templar group, you'd see the checkered floors and you'd see more things.

But anyway, anyway, this is basically.

The beginning, middle, and end of where the Illuminati ties came in. So, okay, before we get out of here, Raven, do you have any more questions that have been just

No, I think that this was a pretty good I mean, we had to kind of get through it pretty quickly, but I think this is a great like introduction for you know, all this. I asked quite a few questions that I felt like people would ask too.

I am interested in getting this book.

I'm not gonna lie just for the soul's sake of having it, to look at it and to see what what random crap this dude is saying, because like, realistically, when you're reading what he's saying, it's just like he's throwing in a whole bunch of words to make himself sound better. And it's like, Okay, I'm surprised they haven't rewritten it by this point.

Oh no, he oh they can't. This is this is their fucking I'm not gonna say it's their Bible. I will say that this has been untouched and unchanged since he wrote it. This is the doctrine. This is a canon law.

I don't know.

I think it's one of those things that like, since it's not like we're talking about like thousands and thousands of years old like I rewrite it, you know, make like a King James two edition, you know, make it, make a more updated one to where people, you know, may will want to actually read it and join again. But it does sound like it originated with good intentions and then got taken over by people of ill intention

Draws a lot of questions for a lot of people.

Is that, you know, since there's even still a million people, do they participate or feel inclined to participate in the Illuminati doctrine of wanting the one world order?

Do they feel like this is that what this is about?

I mean, because there's a lot of people that really down here or like about the Masons. But all I've ever heard my entire life is how evil and corrupt they are, and how like it is like the most satanic of satanic things, and like when I was a kid, Like that's what I was hearing about. And I'm surprised that there's still like there is. It doesn't seem like they're uh. The people that are at the low levels, they don't.

I've met a bunch.

I mean, they just seem like they want to be a part of something, and like you know, the you know, the Scouts of America. You want to just be a part of something, right, and you want to help people, and like this kind of seems like that long standing tradition of helping people.

But clearly good old.

Pikey Poo was the kiss of death for this being like a positive thing and it turned into quite a negative thing that got taken over probably in somewhere in the more satanic and now you know what it is is we all understand it in the conspiracy realm is not being very great when you get into the higher levels.

Well, with that in mind, some speculate that that, like I said, the White Side Freemasonry, if you will, Some speculate that is the Illuminati, and that's why it's not talked about and why it's not over at least it probably is, I mean, why not.

Right, It probably honestly is it's probably the Illuminati chap it.

I mean, they probably band together.

Remember how it just said the Illuminati specifically spits in the face of religion, like out, that's what they're about. Cut two, you go to the thirty third level of free masonry, Blue Side, and you already know that you're worshiping Lucifer at this point, what difference does it make. You're already in for a penny, in for a pound,

I could see it. I mean I could see the preservation. I mean, they want to keep it around. And this group obviously is still keeping it going and feeding bodies to the machine of finding people that they want to bring up into this. And so I mean, especially with the way that they do some of their rituals and stuff like, even if they're not intending to sign their self away to you know, if you believe that they're

I think that I think, honestly, you might be onto something.

I think that the Illuminati definitely could be hiding in the shadows of the Masons, and that they're quietly operating in the backgrounds of all this, and they're using them to feed their propaganda and everything else, which plays into how much is it are they actually involved in our current government? And you know how many people are a part of this and they're just not talking about it.

So and also it can't go without we can't just leave without saying that Albert Pike, also because he was somebody who could read Latin and Greek and Hebrew and Sanskrit, he is the reason why the Eastern philosophy has made their way into this organization. He is the reason why the Kabbalah is into Freemasonry. Also, in this book Morals and Dogmen, he says without the kabbala what is freemasonry?

His words, not mine.

So let's mix in the fact that the same guy is saying that the kabbala is masonry, they are worshiping and seeking the illumination from Lucifer, and that he did what he could to transcribe all these old alchemical texts into English that he and his boys could enact them. He quotes Gnostic scriptures clearly, clearly your boy wasn't about how.

Was he getting a hold of all this? So like you have to think during that time, like, it's not like he was traveling. Not one time do we read that's true.

That's true.

He had a lot of money and influence, so he probably could have been getting this stuff from overseas and having it sent to him.

So mm hmm.

But I mean he was anti Catholic, and the Catholics held so much knowledge, so it's interesting.

Yes, But and that's another thing.

The Catholics didn't hold all the knowledge.

I know, they didn't hold all of it. They held they held a good amount of it. I would say that they didn't hold all of it. But he would still have to tread carefully, even with a lot, like to talk to people in you know, Rome, in different places like that to be able to gather some of this information.

Paris, everything goes through Paris. That's the thing. It doesn't have to go through the Catholic Church. He has Masonic brothers in France, He's got Masonic brothers in England who are closer to these places. He could get original books and it's like, yes, the Catholic Church did all lot to repress information for the Middle Ages. Once the once the Renaissance started, the Catholic Church drastically started losing its

They could not Yeah, I mean you're talking about the fourteenth centuries when the Renaissance started. Yeah, so by the seventeenth century, I mean you're you're talking like the information is spreading across the world. So, I mean, it's just

No, I don't know.

They still abide, mind, that's the thing.

And most these weird ass secret group ord not even secret, it's not secret at all, but these weird ass groups.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

And again, most Masons haven't read the book cover to cover. That's like five hundred and seventy five pages of very rambling, poetic ramblings that you have to be well versed in history to even understand half of what he's fucking talking about.

Like, you have to be super well versed in history.

Whenever he brings up a random philosopher from Greek antiquity that most humans have never heard of, let alone know what his rhetoric was. You have to do research to be able to understand the sentence that you just read at this level. And it's a whole thing. It's a study, and that was the point. So anyway, anyway, we covered
