Mumble being a rusted on ALP worshipper with a PhD in some strained tangent to do with polling is neither here nor there.

I don't have a crooked past.

Got another anonymous coward- presumably one of the same four or so losers who devote 25 hours a day to this crap-

I do not.

No police dramas.

No criminal record.

No bankruptcies.

Can the liars online claim the same? Ha.

One run in with a totally corrupt law society (but I repeat myself).

As for the online defamation- that's all it is, defamation. And pretty hysterical, warped and basically INSANE stuff too.

No Benefit Network

HOUSEHOLDS will be slugged at least $73 a month for Telstra's most basic National Broadband Network plans.
The nation's biggest telco will charge customers $49.95 a month for its slowest and most basic NBN service and at least $22.95 a month to keep their telephone line as part of the deal, even if they don't want it.
The total cost of $72.90 is three times the cheapest wholesale price spruiked by the Federal Government just 14 months ago.
And the NBN offering is even slower than existing $50-a-month plans that run on the pre-NBN technology.

Today's ballot changes nothing

Today's ballot changes nothing



Today's Labor caucus ballot was an opportunity for a new start
for the country.

Instead nothing will change. Labor's deep divisions remain.

Almost a third of Julia Gillard's caucus colleagues showed their
lack of support for the Prime Minister and how she has been
leading her government.

As Tony Abbott pointed out today, nothing will change because:

We will still have the carbon tax  Families will still be faced
with rising cost of living pressures  We will still have a Prime
Minister more focused on saving her job than protecting the jobs
of Australian workers  We will still have border protection
chaos

Only the Coalition can give Australia the stable and competent
government that it needs.

Only the Coalition can give the hope, reward and opportunity that
Australians are yearning for.

Only the Coalition has real plans to give us a stronger economy
for a stronger country.

Journalists and their socialist elitist bias

It's interesting to see criticism of "mainstream" (in what way is lowest common denominator mainstream?) journalists growing.

But to me, they're low IQ fuckwits, and their support of socialism is only one manifestation of it.

A cursory examination of allegedly factual reporting reveals lacunae the size of continents in even the most trivial stories and a constant inappropriate cosiness with politicians. And by cosiness, I mean close ties up to an including those of blood and marriage.

Chris Uhlmannnnn married to Gai Uhlmannnn aka Gai Brodtmannnnnnnn is only one egregious example.

In this day and age it begs the question of why we need TheirABC, let alone print media.

Labor’s betrayal of families is hurting more than ever.

Labor’s betrayal of families is hurting more than ever.

Millions of everyday Australians – including pensioners and low income earners - now face an additional 10% hit on their health insurance premiums on top of other premium increases.

This will hit low income earners hard - of the 11.7 million privately insured Australians, 5.6 million have household income of less than $50,000 a year (and of those, 3.4 million have an annual household income of less than $35,000).

Means testing the health insurance rebate will drive people out of the system, forcing taxpayers to pay more for public health services and putting even more strain on the public health system - affecting all Australians.

By means testing the health insurance rebate, Labor and the Greens are further penalising hard working Australians and their families.

Tony Abbott today said “Private health insurance is an article of faith for us. We will restore the rebate in government as soon as we can.” StumbleUpon

Reality Check

Reading stuff online is fun.

And when anonymous cowards and barking mad underclass refugees create a fictional web of defamatory comments it's fun to read that, too- or for some people, it's even fun to join in (anonymously of course).

I've been relentlessly pilloried for several years now- on totally spurious baseless grounds. All the better I suppose the sociopaths think. If they actually think, it's hard to tell with deeply disturbed individuals.

But here is the truth.

I have no criminal record. I have never been bankrupt. Even accepting arguable debts that are grossly out of time and unenforceable anyway - but taking a rational argumentum at its strongest- I would be easily solvent and able to pay my bills. I know this, because I pay all my bills each month. I had, through necessity, a top secret clearance checked as regularly as required by the due process under which I had to live. I no longer have any such status.

There has never been a complaint about my business, and I have that in writing from the relevant departments. Even in relation to this now decade old nonsense about the ultra vires actions of a law society in a benighted corner of Australia and their "boss hog" closed shop, I have it in writing that nothing stands against my name in the jurisdiction in which I was admitted. Those are stone cold sober facts. No complaints stand against my name. I, on the other hand, have made formal complaints which have proceeded based on the evidence I have provided. In other words my complaints about various businesses and individuals are on record. I think more than anything else it is that salient fact that should be noted. In the objective realm of reality, it is the defamers and lunatics who are being held to account. Not me, as their victim.

The correct technical term for their behaviour is "Borderline Personality Disorder Defamation". I had no idea it was as common, or well understood, as it obviously is. However, there are thousands of cases like mine - every day - and I am far from unique in being the object of someone's destructive tendencies. One could ascribe it to jealousy, ideology, bored silly swine wasting their lives online, fantasists who have been provoked by my blunt manner- but really, to be honest about their motivation, at least some of those who try and bully me online (strangely, they are not keen on real life confrontations...) are psychosexual deviants (as their own websites and forums make very clear) or straight out small league criminals whose activities I have disrupted.

I know for a fact I am not their only victim either. Sadly, others who have been persecuted have caved in or "left well enough alone" rather then excise the sickness from society.

I'm afraid that isn't the approach I intend to take from here on in. Indeed, I have had professionals running a detailed and comprehensive operation for what, nearly two years now.

It makes interesting reading so far. StumbleUpon

Thomson probe has cost taxpayers $912,000 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Thomson probe has cost taxpayers $912,000 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The Australian Government Solicitor says the legal bill for the investigation into federal Labor MP Craig Thomson has cost taxpayers $912,562.

Mr Thomson denies he misused a work credit card to pay for prostitutes when he was employed as a Health Services Union official.

Fair Work Australia (FWA) is conducting an inquiry into the union's finances and the Government Solicitor says it is providing ongoing legal services.

The Federal Opposition specifically asked for the Solicitor's staff working on the case to attend today's Senate Estimates.

But the Solicitor's chief executive, Ian Govey, has told the estimates committee that FWA has instructed his office not to comment on details of the investigation.

"It would have been open to them to tell us that we could disclose further information, but I reiterate again that to do so would be inconsistent with normal practice," he said.

"Other questions about the services ADS has provided should be directed to FWA."

Opposition frontbencher Christopher Pyne used Question Time today to quiz Prime Minister Julia Gillard about the cost of the inquiry.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE 
 
 
IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! 
 
WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
 
Dear Australian Laborites, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Gillard, et al:
 
We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
 
Our two ideological sides of Australia cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way
 
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
 
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the ACTU
, the Fabian Society and every member of Emily's List. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops and the military.  We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.  You can keep the ABC left wingers (particularly Kerry O'Brien) and Bob Brown.  You are, however, responsible for finding an electric vehicle big enough to move all of them.
 
We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Woolworths and the Stock Exchange.  You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, dole bludgers, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and boat people. We'll keep the budgie smuggling, bike riding, volunteer firemen
 and lifesavers, greedy CEOs and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and the churches and give you SBS and the Greens.
 
You can make peace with Iran
Palestine and the Taliban and we'll retain the right to stand up and fight when threatened. You can have the greenies and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
 
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Penny Wong.. You can also have the U.N. But we will no longer be paying the bill..
 
We'll keep the 4WDs, utes and V8s. You can take every hybrid hatchback you can find.
 
We'll keep "Waltzing Matilda" and our National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to keep in tune with Peter Garrett as he sings "Imagine",
"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya", "We Are The World" and his recent big solo hit ?Beds and Batts are Burning?.
 
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
 Since it so often offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag. 
 
Would you agree to this?  If so, please pass it along to other like-minded  conservative Australians and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
 
Sincerely,
John Wall
Australian Law Student
 
P.S. Also, please take Lindsey Tanner, Wayne Swan, Alan Griffin,
 John Faulkner, Kevin Rudd and Jenny Macklin with you.
 
P. S. S.  And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Questions for Rhiannon | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Questions for Rhiannon | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales) (13:00):

I rise on a matter of public interest to do with my colleague Senator Rhiannon and ASIO. In March 2010, in two speeches to the New South Wales Legislative Council, the then Lee Rhiannon sought to discredit ASIO’s surveillance of and files on her, claiming that they were riddled with errors. Shortly afterwards, the questionable claims in her speeches were reported as fact in a breathless newspaper article entitled ‘ASIO spooks spied on little girls’. Thus Lee Rhiannon, who at the time was vying for the Senate, was attempting to inoculate against objective coverage of her 800-page ASIO file which had just been released by the National Archives. In a blog on 3 September 2010 entitled ‘Responding to attacks on my family and political background’, the now Senator Rhiannon revisited the same theme while giving rose tinted accounts of her early activism.

I have looked at Lee Brown, aka Gorman, aka Rhiannon’s ASIO files and I must say I am impressed with their thoroughness and the obvious skill involved in their compilation. While ASIO’s intelligence was not perfect, as is to be expected, it was much, much better than Senator Rhiannon has made out. Senator Rhiannon claims that ASIO’s ‘biggest howler’ was ‘the assertion that I studied motor mechanics at UNSW’. This is disingenuous. In fact, the ASIO report on the Young Socialist League’s Marxist coaching seminar states that, ‘Lee Brown made the general remark that she is studying motor mechanics at the University of New South Wales, where she is currently employed as a lecturer’. ASIO were not making that assertion; it was ASIO reporting Lee Brown’s own words, a significant distinction I would have thought, since elsewhere ASIO accurately record her university studies.

Recently it was disclosed that on 19 January 1970, as an 18-year-old embarking on a voyage to the UK on the Russian vessel Shota Rustaveli, Lee Brown was appointed to meet one Vladimir Alekseev from the Soviet Embassy in cabin 190 on J-deck, where he would wait for her. An ASIO intelligence file reveals that, when arranging this meeting, Alekseev said that he was calling on behalf of one Ivan Stenin. An ASIO telephone intercept reveals that the previous month Stenin had contacted Rhiannon’s father who was intending to travel abroad before his daughter by air to England, Switzerland and Russia. We now know of ASIO’s conclusion that Stenin was a senior intelligence officer, and that many believe that Vladimir Alekseev was the KGB station chief or ‘rezident’ at the Soviet Embassy in Canberra.

It is therefore timely to examine Senator Rhiannon’s ASIO file and to test some of her other claims. In her 2010 blog she claimed that there was no expectation she would follow in her parents’ political footsteps. But in truth Senator Rhiannon was an in-vitro communist. According to Mark Aarons, he and Lee Brown were ‘red-diaper babies’, a term by which the Communist Party of Australia members affectionately referred to the children of communists destined to inherit their parents’ political genes. Rhiannon has perpetuated the line that ASIO began spying on her when she was seven, because an ASIO precis-history of her activity has a one-line record of her at a Tribune picnic in 1958. I think we can assume that ASIO at the time was more interested in Rhiannon’s parents and other communists than they were in Lee, precocious though she may have been.

In fact, the first item in Senator Rhiannon’s ASIO file is a clipping from an April 1955 edition of the CPA’s Tribune headlined ‘Kiddies’ big part in May Day’, showing three-year-old ‘little Lee Brown’ dabbling at a sign saying, ‘For me—Ban that H-bomb’ in preparation for the upcoming May Day march. I am sure that ‘little Lee’ was oblivious to the Soviet Union’s possession of the H-bomb which they had successfully tested two years earlier. Rhiannon also claims ASIO inaccurately noted that she was a founding member of the Eureka Students Organisation, in one stroke glossing over her involvement with this organisation which was the CPA’s youth wing, described by her father as being like the Pioneers. In its heyday, the Pioneers was an international organisation for children, operated by the Communist Party, which promoted sports and outdoor skills while teaching communist principles. In actuality, Rhiannon’s ASIO files record the application to attend the Junior Eureka League’s 1964 summer camp at age 13, her election as treasurer of the Junior Eureka League’s South Sydney branch in 1965, her graduation from JEL and her role as a Pioneer of the Souths branch.

By age 14, Lee was demonstrating against the Vietnam War. At 15, ASIO’s files show she took part in a rowdy Eureka CPA protest against Prime Minister Holt, participated in other protests, marches and communist social functions, and attended a CPA Sydney district meeting. By age 16, the ASIO files indicate that Lee did clerical work at CPA headquarters during her school holidays. They also show that she was involved in pamphleteering high schools, involved in Secondary Students for International Tolerance and Equality and organising an anti-Vietnam War peace ride to Canberra.

What the headline ‘ASIO spooks spied on little girls’ overlooks is that the communists of the day did indoctrinate and attempt to use young people and others to further Soviet ambition, a fact ASIO was well aware of. The truth is that by the time Senator Rhiannon was 18, embarking the Shota Rustaveli for the UK and who knows where else, she was a hardened communist. It is easy to forget—and people born since may not even appreciate—that during the Cold War the CPA was part of the Comintern or Communist International which owed its loyalty to Moscow and was dedicated to the revolutionary overthrow of our democratic system. The CPA received funding and took direction from the Soviet Union, senior members regularly travelled to and trained in Russia, its members infiltrated other organisations and agencies while a few were involved in espionage against their own country, Australia. In this connection I note Laurie Aarons’s accusation contained in Mark Aarons’s book The Family File that Senator Rhiannon’s father, Bill Brown, procured spies for Ivan Skripov, the Soviet diplomat who was later declared persona non grata and deported for spying in 1963. I quote:

… he (Skripov) got onto Bill Brown who started to try and get some people, and in fact, he got one or two people. I don’t know what happened. It’s wrong in principle and also stupid to get involved in that.

After the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, which the CPA had criticised, the Soviets began courting Dick Dickson, Claude Jones and Bill Brown to overthrow those in the CPA who had deviated from the Moscow line. Dixon and Jones apparently refused. Jones knocked back the usual bribery, saying, ‘I was offered any amount of money that I would like to name from the CPSU’—the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. As Mark Aarons put it:

As good punters, the embassy hedged its bets… and had already put money on Bill Brown, who had previously demonstrated his loyalty by assisting the KGB officer, Ivan Skripov.

This was Bill Brown’s hour. ASIO documents show that the Soviets—Stenin in particular—had established a clandestine link with Bill Brown outside of CPA channels and that communications increased dramatically after the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Given all the above, but in particular given Bill and Lee Brown’s involvement with the KGB agents Stenin and Alekseev at exactly this time, is it any wonder ASIO’s director-general asked British intelligence to be apprised if Lee Brown came to notice in the UK.

Let us now examine Senator Rhiannon’s initial response to the Australian’s story about her rendezvous with the KGB agent Vladimir Alekseev. Firstly, she claimed it was based on ‘inaccurate ASIO records’. Contrary to her previous claims, the ASIO records are generally very accurate. Moreover, ASIO’s report of the telephone intercept of Vladimir Alekseev’s call to her mother, Freda Brown, is quite detailed. Secondly, she claimed the attempt to associate her departure on a Russian cruise ship to potential spy activities was ridiculous. That claim was not made. Thirdly, she said, ‘I’ve never been a spy and no-one ever attempted to recruit me.’ Again, no-one made that allegation. The suggestion was that the KGB wanted to cultivate her as a long-term agent of influence. Fourthly, she said, ‘Spy reports of me being involved in clandestine meetings on board the ship are wrong.’ Did you meet Alekseev or not? Fifthly, Senator Rhiannon played the ingenue, just a young student, who was involved in some anti-Vietnam war protests, embarking on a working holiday. I think we have established she had a much longer rap sheet than that.

Senator Rhiannon may get away with this sort of fudging with her Eastern bloc comrades in the New South Wales Greens; she cannot get away from it here. As the Australian noted, Senator Rhiannon dismissed the report of her rendezvous with Vladimir Alekseev as Cold War delusions but did not deny the claim.

Finally, yesterday Senator Rhiannon, in a letter to the editor in the Australian, asserted that to the best of her knowledge she had never met a Russian spy and never attended a meeting on the ship—not a totally unqualified denial. There are therefore a number of very serious questions which Senator Rhiannon must answer. What was her involvement with KGB agents Ivan Stenin and Vladimir Alekseev? Did she visit any Eastern bloc countries in 1970-71? If so, which ones, why and precisely when did she return to Australia? Did she attend the Lenin School during any of her trips abroad?

In 2010 Senator Rhiannon promised that a full report on her ASIO file would shortly be placed on her website. She never did this. I encourage her to do so. It would be helpful to her and to the Senate. Perhaps she could detail the extent of her involvement in plans to raise money for North Vietnam, revealed in ASIO’s telephone intercept of 18 May 1972. Senator Rhiannon may also care to confirm ASIO’s belief that she authored a caustic letter to the Sydney Morning Herald on 26 February 1974—a fortnight after that giant of letters and human rights of the 20th century Alexander Solzhenitsyn was deported from the USSR and stripped of his Soviet citizenship after the KGB found his manuscript for the first part of The Gulag Archipelago. In the letter, one Lee Brown took issue with the suggestion of Dick Klugman—a former Labor MP and distinguished member of the lower house—that the Canberra street in which the Soviet Embassy is situated be renamed Solzhenitsyn Avenue. She suggested that streets around the US Embassy be renamed Watergate Boulevard, Rosenberg Road and My Lai Memorial Avenue. The Rosenbergs, of course, were executed for giving the Soviet Union atomic bomb secrets.

Lastly, in 2010 Senator Rhiannon said she did not support the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. I quote:

… My recollection is that we marched up New South Head Road to the Soviet Consulate where there were speakers long into the night ... Personally I did not support the invasion and to conclude that when I was first getting involved in politics as a teenager and in my early twenties I backed oppressive violent actions against people in Czechoslovakia and Poland is ridiculous.

Curiously, ASIO’s extensive surveillance files of protests disclose no record of Senator Rhiannon protesting the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. They do, however, disclose the existence of a 1975 document for the Young Socialist League detailing planning by one Lee Brown for a forthcoming Czechoslovakian delegation tour to Australia. No doubt she made a personal protest.

I conclude with this question. Senator Rhiannon, if you were not a neo-Stalinist, what were you? Are the Greens just another front for you and your Eastern bloc claque? You owe the Senate and the people of New South Wales and Australia a full and frank explanation of all these matters. I say to the Greens as a whole that in recent times there have been disclosures in a magazine, the Monthly, about a so-called rift within the Greens between the original Greens, who came to the movement out of a conviction that more needed to be done on the environment, and other groups which started to join later on. One of those groups came out of New South Wales. The real issue for the Greens now is the fight that is going on for the heart and soul of the Greens. The Greens are split. The Australian people should know that and they should know that there are people in New South Wales within the green movement who are seeking to subvert the green movement as a whole. Finally, it has come to my attention over time that there have been attempts by people on the Left to ridicule and trivialise the work of ASIO during the Cold War. ASIO did what they needed to do. I am sure they made mistakes along the way, but we should not underestimate the threats that we faced. In an open society we do need bodies like ASIO to help protect us against our enemies.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

Islam the Religion of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy?

Islam – Final Revelation or Ultimate Heresy? - Part 1

Temporal lobe epilepsy?

Daily contact with sheep might explain a lot about "mystical encounters".

I am advised by a practicing physician that the trances experienced by Muhammad and described in the a'hadith (narrations about the life of the Prophet) correspond to a classic case of "tonic-clonic epilepsy with a temporal start."

Ovine tuberculosis is a problem even today and raged unchecked in earlier times. This type of tuberculosis can be transmitted to humans and when a human is infected the disease travels directly to the brain where it forms a calcified cavity. This calcified mass causes a great deal of irritation and brings on epilepsy.

Now the Prophet, we are told, heard ringing in his ears, his heart beat rapidly, his face turned red and his breathing laboured. Falling to the ground, he would shake with his eyes wide open and his lips trembling. He would drool or sweat profusely and would sometimes make a sound like a snoring camel. And, of course, he saw and heard things no one else saw or heard.

As a victim of such convulsions there is little doubt that Muhammad himself was convinced God (or Gabriel) was speaking to him.

Centuries later the same "mystical experience" was shared by that pastoral maid of Orleans Joan of Arc – who also was raised in close contact with sheep.

Reviewing the "death of comicbooks"

I was recently reading savage critiques of Christianity, and as amusing as the vitriol was, and indeed as impressive as some of the scholarship was, it sent my mind on other tangents- chief amongst them the failure of the American superhero in comicbooks.

Stupidly high prices, a desire to maintain monopolistic controls over publishing, the plagiarism factories, smug false feelings of superiority and all the rest seem to me to have followed, rather than caused, the decline and fall of Marvel and DC.

In truth both Marvel and DC, just like Roman Empire in its time, exist in name only, with barbarian rulers in place of their original temporal and spiritual leaders. No one in their right mind could suggest that the current enemies within the gates are originating and exploring as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and the rest did in the early 1960s- establishment mentality is now dominant, with a "priesthood" and an "orthodoxy" preventing anything more than endless repetition.

With this state of affairs in place, what will happen then to what were once highly popular comicbooks?

By a process of slow death one can see several probable and highly probably steps towards total extinction.

Firstly, the feudal system of hirelings and fake independents will in fact establish itself even more firmly, with the fusion of the false facades of Marvel and DC with their true owners, and true cores, being Disney and Warner respectively. These latter organisations are classical media companies- faceless, resolute, unapologetically mercenary, soulless, adhering to mainstream agendas, disinterested in innovation, never releasing copyrights that have fallen to them.

Secondly, due to this fascistic control, and the alliance of corporations such as Disney and Warner with the current dominant controllers of the media, when that centralised empire falls, so too will Disney and Warner fall. This may not be as far off as some imagine. In the mean time, the battlefield between those outside the cosy walls of this incestuous industry and the slave soldiers of the corporate media will be the coopting of public domain properties and the attempt to revitalise the uneven battle by true independents by the discovery, more or less at random, of something that will decisively turn the struggle in their favour.

Thirdly, the corporate properties, already grim parodies of themselves, will continue to be debased to the point that they disappear from view. For evidence of how this happens consider the life cycle of Flash Gordon- from dominant cultural entertainment to plagiarised bastardised Star Wars version at the hands of Lucas to today where not only Flash Gordon is fading from knowledge but Star Wars in its turn has lost all cultural potency.

Religious Cocksuckers

Circumcision
"The first part is milah, the cutting away of the outer part of the foreskin. This is done with one sweep of the knife. 

The second part, periah, is the tearing away of the inner lining of the foreskin which still adheres to the gland, so as to lay it wholly bare. This was (and is) done by the operator – the mohel, the professional circumciser – with his thumb-nail and index finger.

The third and essential part of the ritual is mesisah, the sucking of the blood from the wound.
Since the 19th century, it has been permissible to finish this part of the ritual with a swab, but in all preceding centuries and certainly in the time of Paul it was necessary for the mohel to clean the wound by taking the penis into his mouth.

In the case of a young adult male such as Timothy the bleeding would have been copious."

Hypatia of Alexandria

"Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable."

33 Degrees... Of Snake-Worshipping Christianity?

One of the most important documents discovered at Nag Hammadi in 1945 was the Valentinian Gospel of Truth, possibly a work by Valentinus himself.
 

In the theology of Valentinians ultimate reality was a procession of 'aeons', 33 in all, issuing in pairs from the primal silence.
Emerging from the aeons came 'mind' and 'truth', in turn engendering 'the Word' (Logos) and Life.
The thirtieth aeon, 'Sophia', at length, gave way to the last three aeons – Christ, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus the Savior, the true son of Mary and Joseph, upon whom the 'Spirit of the Thought of the Father' (or Sophia), had descended in the form of a dove.
Ultimately, the Valentinians were doomed. Esoteric and 'learned', its doctrines were too rarified for the coarse requirements of a State religion for the illiterate masses.

11, 13 and 33
The Illuminati / Freemason Signature
Updated 11/30/2001

In my research regarding the Freemason's, United States Presidents and The Masonic Power Structure I was constantly running into the number 13 and 33. This research confirmed that most of the founding fathers were Masons. It also confirmed that most of the Presidents were Masons. My first run in with 13 of course was the 13 colonies. Second was the great Seal. 
"The numbers 3, 7, 9,11,13, 33, 39. Any multiple of these numbers have special meaning to the Illuminati. Notice that the Bilderberg Group has core of 39 members who are broken into 3 groups of 13 members in each group. Notice that the core of 39 answers to the 13 who make up the Policy Committee. Take special notice that the 13 members of the Policy Committee answer to the Round Table of Nine. You know that the original number of states in the United States of America was 13. The Constitution has 7 articles and was signed by 39 members of the Constitutional Convention." Secret Societies / New World Order: by Milton William Cooper
Occultists the world over believe that, once a symbol is created, it acquires power of its own, and more power is generated when such symbol(s) are created without the profane [uninitiated] knowing about it. And, the greatest power of all is created in the symbol(s) if the uninitiated NEVER discover that the symbol exists. MASONIC SYMBOLS OF POWER IN THEIR SEAT OF POWER -- WASHINGTON, D.C. 
There are 13 leaves on the left olive branch with 13 berries. 13 stripes on the middle shield. 13 arrows on the right.  13 stars above the eagles head. 13 letters in the "E Pluribus Unum" on the ribbon. 13 letters in Annuit Coeptis. There are 13 blocks top to bottom on the pyramid. Fritz Springmeir in his The 13 Bloodlines says these 13 blocks represent the 13 Satanic family's. 
In the circles at the end of the hexagram points it even spells the word Mason. 
The Roman Numerals at the bottom of the Pyramid: MDCCLXXVI
We do not have to add them together to get the MARK OF THE BEAST OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME. John does not tell us to ADD THEM TOGETHER. It is not that we cannot add them together, but the point is John does not TELL US TO ADD THEM TOGETHER. We then will take a different tact to solve the riddle. We will use EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS US: 600, 60 and 6. We will start with the REVERSE GREAT SEAL, the SEAL THAT DANIEL GAVE TO US. Embedded at the base of the PYRAMID ARE THE ROMAN NUMERICAL LETTERS: "MDCCLXXVI".

Now you would normally read that as 1776, which is correct. THAT IS THE "OBVIOUS" MEANING OF THOSE LETTERS. But what is the HIDDEN NUMERICAL VALUE OF THOSE LETTERS? And what if we took all of the Roman Numerals together and added them up? The Romans used the following letters for their number system: DCLXVI with D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, nd I - 1. The M letter was not used until much later. Now if we take these letters and add them all up, we come to 666. If we take them as Scripture gives the number, we come up with this in descending order: http://www.truinsight.com/666%20USA%20GREAT%20SEAL.htm External Link

There are 13 stars in the Masons square on the treasury seal on the right. The Department=13 of the treasury=13.
E.W. Bullinger writes:
"As to the significance of thirteen, all are aware that it has come down to us as a number of ill-omen. Many superstitions cluster around it, and various explanations are current concerning them.
"Unfortunately, those who go backwards to find a reason seldom go back far enough. The popular explanations do not, so far as we are aware, go further back than the Apostles. But we must go back to the first occurrence of the number thirteen in order to discover the key to its significance. It occurs first in Gen. xiv. 4, where we read 'Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they REBELLED.'
"Hence every occurrence of the number thirteen, and likewise of every multiple of it, stamps that with which it stands in connection with rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution, or some kindred idea." (Bullinger, E.W. Number in Scripture, Kregel Publications, (c)1967, p. 205).
Was not the founding of America in REBELLION of England? The number 13 and 33 is the freemasons number.
"During the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials of 1692, 13 women were executed." http://www2.ari.net/rjohnson/articles/FEAR.MUP.html
I remember reading somewhere that this wasn't witches at all. It was Christian women who caught the elite using witchcraft and they were burned at the stake instead. 
In the Nation's Capitol the father of "ONE nation under God," George Washington, is memorialized in the rotunda ceiling on a mural entitled, The Apophiosis of Washington. The mural pictures the nations first father surrounded by 13 maidens.
On August 6, 1945 at 8:15 a.m. United States B-29 bomber Enola Gay, on Mission No. 13, dropped an atomic bomb called "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan near the 33rd Parallel. This was "Day One" of a new age, the Nuclear Age. To understand the change that took place, we must back up and look at the importance of the number 13 from the formation of the United States to the atomic bomb's explosion in Hiroshima.
In 1935, Paul Foster Case wrote: "Since the date, 1776, is placed on the bottom course of the pyramid [on the Great Seal], and since the number 13 has been so important in the history of the United States and in the symbols of the seal, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the thirteen courses of the pyramid may represent thirteen time-periods of thirteen years each." The 13 time-periods of 13 years each equaled 169 years. From July 4, 1776 to July 4, 1945 equaled 169 years. From July 4, 1945 to August 6, 1945 (Hiroshima) was 33 days.
"President Kennedy was wounded in the exact three same spots as Hiram Abif, who was murdered in the Masonic initiation, representing the persecution of the Templars on Friday, the 13th, in the year 1307, where Hiram Abif is struck in the back, and in the throat, and in the head. Dealey Plaza is just a very few short miles from the 33rd parallel. The highest degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Meritorious Degree, the Degree of the Illuminati, whose motto is "Ordo Ab Chao" or "Out of Chaos Comes Order"--which literally means if they break down the existing structure and cause the population to cry out for order, they will emerge as the rulers and will have the world that they seek."

We even have a rating for movies PG-13. In case you didn't know it, Hollywood is owned by the masons. Obvious isn't it. John Wayne was a mason. How many of us played cowboys and Indians. No one wanted to be the Indian. Indians got killed we all knew that. This was Hollywood's way of glorifying the mass murder of a race of people. Same way in Germany. The kids played Nazi SS and Jews. Every kid wanted to be a Nazi, never the Jew or Christian. Gene Rodenberry creator of Star Trek series was a mason. Even the name Vulcan was the name of a false Roman god.
  The communicator is a pyramid. By the way Star Trek was created to get us ready for a fake alien invasion to usher in the New World Order. See: The Fake Alien Invasion You know the old expression, " Life imitates art", more truth to that then you realize. Watch and listen to the movies you watch. They always slip the numbers 13 or 33 in there somewhere. Remember the movie On Any Given Sunday. The quarter back was number 13 and the receiver was number 33. Who could miss the the all seeing eye through-out the movie. This message was obvious to me. What they were saying is this. There are 33 titles in the Old Testament for the antichrist, while there are 13 in the New Testament. Satan (13) is the quarterback. 33rd degree Masons are the receivers. In other words the 33's are bringing back the old testament Egypt Isis/Osiris/Ra/Satan one world religion Zep Tepi. Zep Tepi was  that corrupt "Golden Age" of incarnate demons which the Egyptian mystery religion represented and continues to represent. It is an ancient violent and immoral world which developed before the Flood which New Age spirit guides are seeking to re-establish. They are seeking to reestablish this age under Globalism to be ruled once again by 13/Satan New testament Anti-Christ. Even the movie The Last Boyscout with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. Damon had the number 13 on the back of his head. What was he in this movie? A forced retired quarterback looking for payback!!! How much more obvious can this message be?

REGIONAL LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
The United States has been divided into seven different regions geographically. Each region has a 13 member leadership council that coordinates with the local leadership councils (are you getting the idea by now? The Illuminati are set up a lot like "Amway" or any other well-organized business enterprise with a flowchart of accountability for each member). This council will look something like this:
Head of council (1), Military (2 seats), Spiritual (2 seats), Scholarship (2 seats), Finances (2 seats), Training (2 seats), Sciences (2 seats).
Total: 13 members
The regional councils will represent the different areas of interest and knowledge that the Illuminati pursue. The membership will change over time as members are promoted or demoted. http://www.centrexnews.com/columnists/svali/2001/02/svali12.html
In a similar fashion, JFK, Jr., was killed and committed to the waters of the Atlantic close to the intersection of the N. 41 parallel and W. 71 meridian; summing up, 4 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 13, the most Masonically correct number. This intersection, southwest of Martha's Vineyard, is also close to the small island called No Mans Land. "No Mans" is a Baconian cypher for "Mason", i.e., Mason Land. JFK, Jr., and his public wife, Carolyn Bessette, were married on Cumberland Island, off the coast of Georgia. This island is close to the intersection of the N. 31 parallel and the W. 81 meridian; again, 3 + 1 + 8 + 1 = 13 Paranoid Pattern Finding & Masonic Cues

This is the completion of the sacred geometry of the Priory of Sion.

Another interesting fact to consider is that of the 37 Presidents of the United States before Jimmy Carter, at least 18 or 21 (depending on which source you believe) were close relatives. That comes to somewhere between 48.6 percent and 56.7 percent-far to much to be coincidence, as any conspiritologist (or mathematician) would tell you. Of the 224 ancestors in the family tree of 21 Presidents, we find 13 Roosevelt's, 16 Coolidge's, and 14 Tyler's. Another source manages to relate 60 percent of the Presidents and link most of them to the super-rich Astor family. This data does not include genealogies of the five most recent President. Psychologist G. William Domhoff claims that a large part of America's Ruling elite, just like that of Europe, are related by marriage. (Everything is Under Control. Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-Ups by Robert Anton Wilson pg 39-40)
How many of you remember when we were kids the first secret code we learned was the alphabet with a number above each letter. Starting with the letter A with the number 1 above it ending with Z which would of course represent the number 26. We used to pass coded letters to our buddies in class using this code. At least I did. Take a piece of paper and lay out this code. It should look like this.
1  2  3 4  5 6  7  8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
A  B  C  D  E F G  H  I  J  K   L   M  N  O  P   Q  R   S  T  U  V   W  X   Y  Z
This code is one of the simplest codes there is. You can even do it in reverse. A being 26 until Z is 1.
Now using the code above, apply that to the following government and media establishments. And do the math. The number 13 or 33, sometimes both are cleverly hidden in the initials.

As kinsmen of our Aryan ancestors were sanctified with the Zaothra, ( Zoroastrian religion is the same as the Luciferian polytheistic religion of Mazdaism, with its chief god being Lucifer going by his alias Ahura-Mazda), or consecrated water, and there-by devoted to the service of Ahura. 32nd Freemason Ritual I own two Mazda trucks and they both have 13 gallon fuel tanks.

In occultic/Satanic doctrine, the upper four points of the Goathead represent the four elements of the world, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. The bottom fifth point represents the spirit of Lucifer. In the photocopy of the Goathead Pentagram, the fifth point extends down into the mind of the goat, who represents Lucifer. Thus, in this street layout, the fifth point is the White House, a symbol placement which represents the intention that the spirit and the mind of Lucifer will be permanently residing in the White House.

What does financial chaos lead us to?. Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The legal system is owned by the masons. Most of the United States Supreme Court Judges have been Masons. See: United States Presidents and The Masonic Power Structure . The Judges are listed there.
12 jurors and one judge =13. There is no law anywhere that requires 12 jurors. So why 12?

Proctor & Gamble vigorously denies the accusations, contending that the horns are merely curls of hair. And the 13 stars? According to Proctor & Gamble, they represent the original 13 colonies of the U.S.A. The man in the moon, a company spokesman claims, also honors the original colonies.
      In 1992, Proctor & Gamble decided to slightly revise its bizarre and troublesome logo. A corporate spokesman announced that the curls (or horns?) were being softened artistically. Other minor changes were also made, ostensibly to alleviate concerns. But rumors and questions still remain.
      In any case, soap-maker Proctor & Gamble has filed lawsuits against several people believed to be responsible for spreading the allegations of devilism. But, in at least one of the lawsuits, the company raised eyebrows when the news came out that Proctor & Gamble was seeking exactly $

On January 7th, Bill Clinton preached a sermon at the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. The sermon lasted precisely 13 minutes: there's that number again! In the sermon, he told the 700 people in attendance, "I look forward to finding out whether John Quincy Adams was right when he said, 'There is nothing so pathetic in life as an ex-president.'" (3) I think he was far more pathetic as President. Bill Clinton concluded his 13 minute sermon by thanking the "parish" for its "welcome to gay and lesbian Christians, people who should not feel outside the family of God." (4) Tell it to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day, Bill! Pastor J. Philip Wogaman and President Clinton exchanged backslaps. http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/2001/February2001.html
"By the authority vested in me as President (Clinton) by the Constitution and bearing in mind the obligations of the United States pursuant to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other relevant treaties concerned with the protection and promotion of human rights to which the United States is now or may become a party in the future, it is hereby ordered." Like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child uses manipulative and misleading language. According to Article 13, "The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers..." In other words, parents have no authority to keep a child from reading a sexually explicit magazine or visiting pagan chat rooms on Internet. While parents lose their right to set safe boundaries for their children, the State assumes full power to "protect" the child and define the rules. Thus Article 13 concludes with: "This right may be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary for respect of the rights or reputations of others; or for protection of national security or public order." Likewise, if parents restrict their child's "right to freedom of association" or their child's ambiguous rights to "privacy" or "conscience and religion" (Articles 14 -16), they would break this law and face the potential loss of their child to the state's "protection" services. In the context of UN ideology, "national security or public order" refers to the concept of solidarity, a utopian community oneness based on shared values defined by Globalist leaders. Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules

"1313" CONSTRUCTED WITH ROCKEFELLER FUNDS
The 1947-1948 Annual Report of the tax-exempt Laura Spelman Rockefeller Fund revealed: "In 1938, a new building at 1313 East Sixtieth Street, Chicago (constructed under grants from the Spelman Fund) was completed to provide adequate quarters… for the use and occupancy of the national governmental organizations. This building has come to be known as '1313'. "… An agency known as the Public Administration Clearing House was set up… Endorsement of the Public Administration Clearing House came from the National Municipal League, the American Municipal Association, etc…. "The Public Administration Clearing House manages the building at 1313 E. Sixtieth Street, Chicago." Further financing for the "1313" has been provided by the Carnegie Corporation, the Julius Rosenwald (Sears Roebuck & Company) Fund, and the Russell Sage Foundation. In his article in the January 1973 issue of AMERICAN OPINION magazine Gary Allen said that the primary funding now comes from the Ford Foundation which has "poured tens of millions of dollars into scores, possibly hundreds of regional government projects" promoted by "1313". http://www.sweetliberty.org/beware_metro2.html#Chapter%20VII

As a young man, Bill Clinton was a Master Counselor of the Masonic-connected Demolay. ("Demolay" derives from the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, James deMolay (1244-1314)). Clinton's ties with the C.I.A. began when he studied at Oxford. Clinton's reign as President has been noted for numerous scandals, including the unexplained deaths of more than 50 of his associates by means of bullets and plane crashes.
In David Yallop's book, In God's Name, which exposes the murder of the Pope who was in power for only 33 days, Freemasonry was a major issue.

When a man becomes a 33rd Degree Mason, he swears allegiance to that organization, and thereby to Prince Charles. The Bible gives us 42 signs of the Antichrist
4.  To enhance all these elements, including #3, the Illuminati would desire to place a man whom they control in the group being sacrificed, most preferably a Manchurian Candidate, i.e., a man whom they have previously programmed by Mind Control to willingly die for the Illuminist cause.  David Koresh was just a man.  Occultists have been told that he was Illuminist, and had been programmed to be the perfect Manchurian Candidate, quite willing to die for the cause.  Koresh was 33 years old, a perfect age for the Illuminati to set him up as the Messiah figure to his cult, as Jesus Christ was 33 years old when He finished His ministry.  Additionally, 3 + 3 = 6 , the favorite number of the Illuminati.  Remember this first "6", for it becomes very important in a few paragraphs below.

So what does all this mean? It is my opinion after reading the following article that 13 and 33 is also Satan's number. According to an article by Chuck Missler of Koinoia House (http://www.khouse.org) there are 33 titles in the Old Testament for the antichrist, while there are 13 in the New Testament. http://philologos.org/bpr/files/n011.htm Since it has been proven that most of the 33rd degree Freemason's worship Lucifer this 13 and 33 is a homage to their god. Matthew 4:8-9 (8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.)  Christ did not dispute the fact that Satan owned the kingdoms of the world.

One also must remember the words of Prof. Revilo P. Oliver: The question of precisely what fires the will of the wealthy supranational elites seeking to manipulate and control world events, has not escaped the attention of serious students of conspiracies and cover-ups. The late American Professor Revilo P. Oliver, a confirmed atheist, was forced to conclude: "A theory that a conspiracy has been working consciously for many centuries is not very plausible unless one attributes to them a religious unity. That is tantamount to regarding them as Satanists engaged in the worship and service of supernatural evil. The directors of the conspiracy must see or otherwise directly perceive manifestations which convince them of the existence and power of Lucifer. And since subtle conspirators must be very shrewd men, not likely to be deceived by auto-suggestion, hypnosis, or drugs, we should have to conclude that they probably are in contact with a force of pure evil." (Prof. Revilo P. Oliver, Conspiracy or Degeneracy?, USA)
A famous mason Manly P. Hall stated the following "When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly handle energy." (Manly P. Hall, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, p. 124;)

Hi there I have also noticed that while driving around South Africa where I live as well as Switzerland and Italy recently while on holiday there are many road signs indicating that the next town/city is "33" km's away. This seems odd as a sign would normally be a rounded figure such as 30km, 20, 10km's etc.

I know it's not really the subject of your 13/33 page (which I found very interesting), but did you know that the period of time from the death of Stanley Kubrik on 7th March, 1999, to January 1st, 2001, the title of his most esoteric film, is a period of exactly 666 days?
 
Also, the period of time from 1968, the year the film came out, to 2001 is 33 years!
 
You might already know these facts, but they are interesting anyway!

On May 13 , 2000 a disaster occurred in the city of Enschede in the Netherlands. A massive explosion at a fireworks factory and depot destroyed a complete city quarter (over 400 houses) and 23 people were killed. The date of the disaster has since then intrigued me very much!!

Hey the other day while checking out this hot site, specially that article that talks about how many times the numbers 13 and 33 and others are found on dates and even many company logos a lot when they have to do with many powerful people and events and the freemasons etc.... I really liked this stuff and was very surprised to know about how many logos such as the McDonalds have the figure of the number 13 on it, well that same day while thinking about all of this, by accident I noticed on the box where my DSL modem came in that the company logo had a figure of yes, the famous number "13"(which got me very very surprise and excited).... well what I did next was even more amazing and made me say (wow!!!)... I took down the name on the logo which is "WESTELL" and came up with this: 
23 5 19 20 5 12 12   =  2+3+5+1+9+2+0+5+1+2+1+2= 33
W  E  S  T  E  L  L   
Well I cannot explain how I felt after I came out with the results of this calculation me and my brother (who helped me) were speechless at the time....anyway in this mail I attached 2 pictures of the logo (the original one & the other one rotated for you, so you can see the figure).... hopefully you will both check and verify if my discovery was real (or just bogus, or a mistake)...

 33rd Degree ritual in the USA
Married to the Masonic Spirit


Internationally united under USA seniority.
'Although Craft Freemasonry is worldwide in the sense that it exists in most parts of the non-communistic world, and even underground in parts of the eastern bloc, it has no international organisation. The Ancient and Accepted Rite of the Thirty-Third Degree is the only cohesive Masonic group run on truly international lines. The Supreme Council in London in London is one of many Supreme Councils in various parts of the globe, of which the senior is the Supreme Council of Charleston, USA, which effectively operates a worldwide network of Freemasons in the most powerful positions in the executive, legislative, judiciary and armed forces as well as industry, commerce and professions of many nations'  
Stephen Knight: The Brotherhood: Page 44

In England only 75 Freemasons can be 33rd degree at one time.  Headquarters of  Supreme Council 33 Degree is at 10 Duke Street, London. (Known as Grand East by Masons)  The building contains a 'Black Room' a 'Red Room' and a 'Chamber of Death' for ritual purposes.  No Mason can rise above the 18th Degree without the unanimous agreement of the entire Supreme Council. The most senior 33rd Degree Mason is known as the 'Most Puissant Sovereign Commander'  The English working of the rite - sometimes known by the code name Rose Croix from the title of the initiate to the 18th Degree - differs from the American in one basic respect. In England and Wales only a few of the 33rd degrees are conferred by special ritual, while in the USA each degree has its own initiation ceremony. In England the 4th to the 17th Degrees are conferred at once and in name only during initiation of the selected Freemason to the 18th Degree. To the few who rise higher than the 18th Degree, the 19th to 29th are conferred nominally during the ritual of initiation to the 30th Degree - that of Grand Elected Knight Kadosh or Knight of the Black and White Eagle.  Degrees above the 30th are conferred singly.

The 33rd degree ritual & oaths in the USA.
Extract from ‘The deadly deception’ by Jim Shaw. *33rd degree.* Knight Commander of the Court of Honour. *Past Worshipful Master, Blue Lodge * Past Master of all Scottish Rite bodies  (Note: Masons say that Jim Shaw did not go as high as he claims - I cannot confirm - but his account certainly has the ring of truth)
In order to receive the 33rd degree it was necessary for me to go to Washington DC. The initiation and related functions were to last three days....I flew to Washington National Airport and took a taxi to the ‘House of the Temple’ on Northwest 16th Street. Upon arriving at the Temple I was met by a receptionist who asked me if I was there to receive the 33rd degree. I was surprised to find a woman in those sacred Masonic precincts, but said that I was, and showed her my letter from the Supreme Council. She then told me that in order to receive the degree I would be expected to make a minimum donation of a very large sum of money (at least it was a very large amount for me) This took me completely by surprise for there had not been a word about a ‘minimum donation’ in the letter sent to me by the Supreme Council. I didn't carry that amount with me and had left my chequebook at home, but I was able to borrow the money from one of the other men, and gave it to her. We candidates were all unhappy about this unpleasant surprise and grumbled to one another about it, but we were not unhappy enough to forsake the degree over it. We were too close to the top of the mountain to turn back at that point.

The Temple itself
The House of the Temple is quite impressive - a bit awesome, really. Standing large, grey and silent on the east-side of Northwest 16th Street, between ‘R’ and ‘S’ Streets, it looms very wide and tall from the curb.   There is a huge expanse of granite pavement in front of it, including three levels of narrowing steps as the entrance is approached. See the 33rd degree magazine cover
'Power'
'Wisdom'
Flanking the entrance are two Sphinx like granite lions with women’s heads, the neck of one entwined by a cobra and decorated with the “ankh” (the Egyptian symbol of life and deity)Adorning the neck and breast of the other is the image of a woman, symbolic of fertility and procreation. In the pavement, just in front of the tall bronze doors, are two Egyptian swords with curved, serpentine blades and, between the two swords, brass letters set into the stone saying “The Temple of the Supreme Council of the Thirty third and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite”
Over the tall, bronze doors, cut into the stone, is the statement, “Freemasonry builds its Temples in the hearts of men and among nations”
High above the entrance, partially concealed by stone columns, is an elaborate image of the Egyptian Sun God, backed with radiating sun and flanked by six large golden snakes.

Inside is elegance: polished marble floors, exotic wood, gold and statuary. There are offices, a library, dining room, kitchen, Council Room, “Temple Room” and a large meeting room. This room is like a luxurious theatre, rather elegantly furnished and decorated. The ceiling is dark blue, with lights set into it to give the appearance of stars. These lights can even be made to twinkle like stars in the sky. There is a stage, well equipped, and it is all nicely done. But the thing that is most noticeable is the way the walls are decorated with serpents. There are all kinds; some very long and large. Many of the Scottish Rite degrees include the representation of serpents, and I recognised them among those decorating the walls.

It was all most impressive and gave me a strange mixture of the sensations of being in a Temple and a tomb - something sacred but threatening.

I saw busts of outstanding men of the Rite, including two of Albert Pike, who is buried there in the wall.
Interviewed by the Supreme Council
The first day was devoted to registration, briefings and interviews. We were all called into one of the offices, one at a time, and interviewed by three members of the Supreme Council. When my turn came I was ushered into the office and seated. The very first question I was asked was, “Of what religion are you?” Not long before this I would have answered with something like, “I believe the Ancient Mysteries, the ‘Old Religion,’ and I believe in reincarnation.” However, without thinking at all about how to answer, I found myself saying, “I m a Christian,”

Then, to my surprise, and theirs, I asked of them, “ Are you men born again?”

The man in charge quickly stopped me by saying “We’re not here to talk about that - we are here to ask you questions.” After they sent me back out I sat down and thought about it. When the next man came out, I asked him, “Did they ask you if you are a Christian?” He said, “Yes, they did.”

“What did you tell them?” I asked, and he replied,
“I told them ‘Hell no, and I never intend to be!’”

Then he said a strange thing to me, “They said I’m going higher,” and he left through a different door, looking pleased.

Becoming a Sovereign Grand Inspector General
The second day was the day of the actual initiation, held in the theatre-like meeting room. Those of us who were receiving the degree were seated and the ceremony was “exemplified” (acted out in full costume) before us, in the same way that we had performed the lesser degrees of the Scottish Rite all those years. The parts in the exemplification were played by men of the 33rd Degree.

The representative candidate was dressed in black trousers, barefooted, bareheaded and draped in a long, black robe that reminded me of very long, black raincoat. He had a black cabletow around his neck but was not hoodwinked. During the initiation he was led around the stage, conducted by two men with swords, as the degree was performed for us.

Instructions and signs were given. Upon the altar were four “holy books” (the Bible, the Koran, the Book of the Law and the Hindu Scriptures). At one point the “candidate” was told to kiss the book “of your religion” and, representing us all, he leaned forward and did so.

I remembered the First Degree initiation, when I was told to kiss the Bible, and at that moment something came full cycle. It was the final such kiss to be a part of my life.

Wine in a skull
When it was time for the final obligation we all stood and repeated the oath with the representative candidate, administered by the Sovereign Grand Inspector General. We then swore true allegiance to the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree, above all other allegiances, and swore never to recognise any other brother as being a member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry unless he also recognises the supreme authority of “this Supreme Council.” One of the Conductors then handed the “candidate” a human skull, upside down, with wine in it.

With all of us candidates repeating after him, he sealed the oath, “May this wine I now drink become a deadly poison to me, as the Hemlock juice drunk by Socrates, should I ever knowingly or wilfully violate the same” (the oath).

He then drank the wine. A skeleton (one of the brothers dressed like one - he looked very convincing) then stepped out of the shadows and threw his arms around the “candidate.” Then he (and we ) continued the sealing of the obligation by saying, “And may these cold arms forever encircle me should I ever knowingly or wilfully violate the same.”

The Sovereign Grand Commander closed the meeting of the Supreme Council “with the Mystic Number,” striking with his sword five, three, one and then two times. After the closing prayer, we all said “amen, amen, amen,” and it was over.
Prominent men took part
There were some extremely prominent men there that day, including a Scandinavian King, two former presidents of the United States, an internationally prominent evangelist, two other internationally prominent clergymen, and a very high official of the federal government, the one who actually presented me with the certificate of the 33rd Degree. Some made only brief appearances; others stayed much longer.

However, they didn’t do much mixing or socialising with us, except for those whom they already knew. Even though these celebrities weren’t extremely “brotherly,” it was still quite an experience for me just to be associated with them. It was easily the largest gathering of such prominent and influential men of which I have ever been a part.

The third day there was a banquet to celebrate our becoming “Grand Inspectors General, 33rd Degree.” The banquet was a little anticlimactic, at least for me, and I was anxious to get it over with so I could return home. It was good to be a 33rd at last. But it wasn’t as exciting or fulfilling as I had thought it would be during all those years in the Craft. I guess this was because of the profound changes going on down deep within me.

Married to Masonry
'The Supreme degree of the Rite incorporates a most impressive ceremony in which the candidate is required to endure a test demanding great courage, this being followed by a lengthy obligation and fitting climax, when he is married to the Order with a golden ring of special significance'.
