0:13 Alrighty, welcome to the Citizen Special Edition. As you can see, Doug is not here, so the hamster will take over. It'll be a takeover of hamsters. The wheel is loose. Not like the juice is loose, but it's still loose. Very good. Yeah, Doug was planning to make it. He had a little bit of a dentist appointment this morning.

0:42 And he was on painkillers, thought he was doing fine. And then he woke up from his nap and said, ah, this isn't happening. So tonight's subject, we said we're going to do Freemasonry. And I got some fun stuff prepared. Doug has good stuff as well. So I told him, I promised him I'd leave a little bit of meat on the bone for him. And so we don't have to do the whole story tonight. We can do a two-week version of it if you'd like. All righty. First of all.

1:10 Andrew's under the weather, everybody, today, so you're going to probably hear more of my voice and less of his. Why did you, it was your idea to do Freemasonry, so what got you started in that direction? I think it had something to do with the Founding Fathers and Freemasonry and the Illuminati. Perfect. That's where a lot of people get that from. They wonder, you know, you have all the Masonic symbols in Washington, D.C., and all the architecture. Yeah, which would be Constitutional Roundtable, but Doug's not here, and I think whenever it's just me and you, it's going to be...

1:43 The citizen, or maybe I'll call it the flying hamster or something. Your channel, you can name it. So let's talk about what secret societies in general, what they are and what they aren't. I think there's a lot of misunderstandings. Start with the Freemasons. Right now, there's about 6 million Freemasons in the world. And I think you're going to find that upwards of 98 to 99% of them are pretty legitimate people.

2:13 doing pretty good work, and they're doing it for the right reasons. What happens is when you get a secret society, if you're up to no good, when you have your own little secret society, what better place to hide but inside another secret society? And so I think that's what you have. What you've seen throughout history, when Freemasons get implicated in bad activities, that's what's going on there. What's interesting is every Freemason lodge has its own rules of initiation.

2:45 They have some generalities the same, but they have their own rules. So it's very simple for a lodge here in San Diego to have completely different morals and goals than the lodge where you live. There's some general Freemason rules, like, for example, the initiation. There's three things they always have in common when they get initiated, if you're an initiate. You've got your pant leg rolled up, and that shows you don't have a shackle, which means you're a free man. One leg or two legs? Just one. Okay.

3:16 Second thing you do is you've got your shirt open to reveal your left breast. That's to make sure you're a man. And the third part is they put a noose around your neck. It's a cable tie, but it looks like a noose. And that's to symbolize your ties with your brothers. Now, there are female Freemasons. There are women. It started in about 1930. Let me look that up. So they changed the breast part?

3:43 No, that's why I brought it up. It appears they have the exact same three initiation rites, so they show their left breast. And the women-only lodges, yeah. I was going to say, if there was mixed company, that could be definitely not a good situation. No, the women Freemason is a women-only. It started in 1913. It's called the Order of Women Freemasons. It used to have a different name, and they changed it. They wear white robes.

4:13 There's about 5,000 women Freemasons in the world. So it's still very much a fraternal brotherhood. Let's go to a few more basics. Okay, how long have they been around? About the 1500s, more formally the 1700s. Is that in connection with the Knights Templar? No, I don't think so. Well, different societies. We start talking about all these different societies from the Illuminati to Knights Templar, Knights of Malta.

4:42 You're going to get some crossover throughout history. You'll probably even have some people that were in both at times. For example, we've heard of a lot of the lore of the Jesuits. Adam Weisskopf, who founded the Illuminati, was a Jesuit. He was a member of two different quote-unquote secret brotherhoods. The history of this... The secret societies really go back to the ancient world. You'd have these

5:14 Well, Matthew Errett, who some of the listeners are probably something about my camera lens. Do I look fuzzy? Nothing I can do about that. I don't have the technological know-how. Do I look okay to you? You look the same to me. All right. So Matthew Errett's a pretty bright historian. I agree with him a lot on ancient history. He's got a piece out here we're going to play a clip from tonight. But he's done a lot of work on the history of secret societies.

5:48 He and I agree. I agree with him on a lot of ancient history. In fact, he did this piece with his wife, Cynthia Chung. He was just the narrator. I think she did most of the work on it. But we'll post that in the notes. He does a deeper dig on some of this stuff than I'll do tonight. But he talks about the old oracle at Delphi and the other mystical oracles of the ancient days where these people had a racket. They had their spies.

6:17 across all the different countries and all the different oracles sort of worked together. And they were basically, you know, kings would go to them and pay gold for advice. And the people believed they had to visit the oracle. And through that, they were able to topple kingdoms. It's very similar to the way our intelligence agencies work today. And I bring that up because there's a connection. Let's go back to Freemasons. A lot of famous Freemasons. The ones we know about, you got Prince, one who just passed away, Prince Philip.

6:47 He joined at age 31. Prince Philip just passed away? I believe so. Which one? I think he's the one who just passed away a few years ago. Anyways, yeah. Is he one of the young ones or is he one of the old guys? I think he was very old. I think he was like 100, close to it. Oh, okay. He was like 98 years old. I don't keep up with the royals that well, so if I get that wrong, my apologies. Well, I'm not part of the monarchy, so that's why I don't.

7:14 On a side note, that's a really fascinating thing. People in America are so fascinated with the royals, but it's like, you know, you're not under the monarchy anymore, right? You don't need to be sad when the queen dies or whatever. How much of that is the fact that the media just basically kisses their butts and makes a big deal about it? Most people get sad or excited by what the media tells them to. Yeah. Anyway.

7:44 Back on track. Sorry. Well, we're talking about the Royals. Okay, so here's some other Freemasons that were Royals. We had King Edward II, King Edward VIII, King George II, King George VI. We had George Washington, Clark Gable, Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Houdini, Mozart, Mark Twain, Nat King Cole, Oliver Hardy. So you got people from every walk of life. Bing Crosby, I believe, was too.

8:15 That was not supposed to be a comprehensive list. It was just sort of to display that. He was the 33rd. It's interesting. It looks like there's... The second and the third is actually the Illuminati. That's exactly what I was going to say. They had 29 levels. We'll get to the Illuminati tonight. I'll get to that part of the story.

8:43 Man, I'm just ruining stuff. It's like I'm telling the kids about the gifts before Santa comes. Well, at least they still believe in Santa, so you don't spoil everything. Well, I actually don't know if they do. They love Home Alone, though. Whenever they think of Christmas, they think of Home Alone. Okay, so your basic Freemasonry, you've got three different levels. You've got the Apprentice, the Journeyman, and the Master. And that gets you up to either 27 or 29 levels.

9:17 In 1776, I believe it was, a guy by the name of Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati. And they were not very nice guys. They were plotting to basically destroy Christianity and take over the world in many different ways. They got caught out. Let's see if I got the date. Yeah, it was 1776. They called themselves the Enlightened Ones. There's an Italian revolutionary leader named Giuseppe Mazzini.

9:45 He was a 33rd degree Mason later on. He was working with the, he was heading the worldwide Illuminati operations. They were trying to overthrow Europe's monarchies. As their secrets got revealed, they were persecuted and eventually disbanded, only to reestablish themselves in the depths of other organizations, one of which was Freemasonry. So that's where you got the infiltration of the Illuminati into Masonry.

10:15 That gets more interesting. We'll get to the next step of that story in a second. I want to finish up some of the more basic facts before I jump into the history. Okay, it is not a religion. There's no religion or politics allowed in their meetings. The Catholic Church has been opposed to Masonry since 1738, and Catholics are forbidden to join. What's interesting about that is Masonry has a few fundamental beliefs. You have to believe in a higher being. If you're an atheist, you cannot.

10:47 uh be a freemason now who that free higher being is they're not very set on but a higher being and they it's because one of the things you have to do is um what they're really pushing on is you're trying to improve yourself in the world around you through masonry that that's what their idea was and i guess we probably left out the fact that the freemasons were originally stone masons and that's where a lot of symbolism comes from um the handshakes to prevent betrayal

11:17 the passwords, the square and compass, which is their most basic symbol, the three pillars. I think the all-seeing eye is actually Illuminati. What's that? I always thought it was, too. It's kind of contradictory, though, that they don't allow religion in their meetings, but yet you have to be, I guess, in their words, religious. Yeah, believe in a higher being. Yeah.

11:47 We'll get into that because we'll talk about that when we get to the end of the 19th century. That's when it really starts to show up, the satanic part of it. Questions so far? Oh, here's one I always get. Let's see if I got this right. Some of the lodges now allow gay men to join. There was a lot of pressure on that. That was a big international Freemasonry fight a few years back. That has now been settled. It's up to the individual lodge.

12:20 Another fun one about Freemasonry. It's an interesting list of what countries ban them. And I'm going to go through the list, and you're going to start hearing names of countries that we generally don't think about as free and fair and open. Okay? Oh, okay. Go ahead. I think I know where you're going. Go ahead. What's your guess? I don't want to ruin it. All right. Well, the first country to ever ban Freemasonry was the USSR, Soviet Russia. Okay. That makes sense, but that's not the one I was thinking.

12:49 Next one was the Nazi Germany. Mussolini banned Freemasonry. And then under a dictatorship in 1864, Egypt did it. Same thing with Syria in 1964. And then 1965 was Syria, and now most Arab countries, with the exception of, I believe, Lebanon and one other. Okay, I'll reveal what I was going to say. I was going to say the Middle East. I'm not sure why I didn't get to the reason of that. Maybe I'll have that ready for you next week.

13:21 It's fascinating because Allah would be a higher being in their eyes. Well, maybe they banned it because of the nefariousness of the Freemasons. Although, I've heard some very sketchy things with the Middle East, and not just talking about normal stuff, like practices that they deem normal to be, you know, you'd be in prison for life or something here.

13:50 Oh, sure. Some countries, they throw homosexuals off the buildings. Yeah, not just that, but a bunch of other stuff. Do you jail women for showing your face in public? Yeah, they've got beliefs that wouldn't fly too well here. Yeah. Let's check the chat real quick. Anything interesting? Gay Freemasons. That's kind of funny. Cracks me up. Which I did want to clarify something.

14:28 In my head, it made it sound like my kids believe in Home Alone as the reason for the Christmas season. In my house, we're Christians, so we believe that Christmas is about Christ, not about Santa, not about Home Alone. I was just saying that Home Alone is mostly watched around Christmas time, so that's why they think of those two together. I made perfect sense. Going around the internet,

14:55 I guess just about every year they take polls of what's the best Christmas movie of all time. Home Alone wins more often than not. You know what's my favorite? I bet you'll never guess. What's that? Take a guess. I want to see if you guess. Oh, God. What's the one with Bruce Willis? Nope. Not that one. Nakatomi Towers. I always forget the name of the movie. Yeah, Die Hard. That's it. Yeah. Nope. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Funny.

15:26 My parents really loved that one, and it turned out that my niece and nephew had never seen it. Talk about the difference of two generations. So they had a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation Party, and the kids liked it so much that they came over another night for more vacation series. They watched the entire, what, three of them? I think, all right, so there's National Lampoons.

15:53 European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Vegas Vacation. And then the original Wally World. Yeah, that one. So four, maybe? I don't know. There's like five Home Alones. Brian, I don't have an answer to why they would have an issue with gays. I just thought that was an interesting bit of trivia, so I threw it out there. I did not do any deep digging into anything like that. For my side, as far as, I mean, well, I guess I'm not really going to get into that.

16:27 Hold on, let me read what Brian said. Why would they have issues if they're not following the Bible? Okay, yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, biblically, homosexuality is wrong and an abomination. So you'd think that if, yeah, what he said makes sense. That's a contradiction. Yeah, you see many world religions have opened themselves up to homosexuality in the last few decades, so different interpretations of the Bible. Let's not start a holy war on this one tonight.

16:57 Fair enough. Yeah. We'll pacify that one for another time. Or y'all could tune in to, I'm going to do a shameless plug here, The Biblical Record, which is my other show that I do randomly. There's no schedule to it because I do it based off of the guests that I can have. And I think whenever I get more time, I'll start doing them where it's just me.

17:20 I answer a lot of those questions whenever I have a guest on and they have a point of view or alternative theory on something. I do challenge it because everything I go off of is off the Bible. So if the Bible doesn't talk about it, then we kind of go into the speculation, but that's where it has to stay. You know, so everything goes back to the Bible. But anyway, shameless plug. I already have episode one up so people can watch that.

17:50 Brian, I'm going to get to that in a second. He's talking about how they worship the angel of light. Not across the board. They basically have to believe in a higher being. In the 1800s, a new addition to Freemasonry came called Scottish Rite. And Scottish Rite, nothing inherently wrong with it, but that's where some of the abominations of modern day appear to have come from. One of the first Scottish Rite Freemasons, I've told you about this guy, Mazzini, came over here. He was an Illuminati.

18:19 One of the first people he brings into power is a gentleman who's probably the most famous of the Freemasons, a guy by the name of Albert Pike. I brought up a picture of Albert Pike. Let me just fucking pull that up. Yeah, because it has the word gays in it. They're asking why they can't see his comment. It's probably the word gays and Bible and religion. I mean, you'd think if it says gays, they'd be okay with it, but they probably, because it sounds like it's...

18:49 giving a negative connotation towards gays that they probably blocked it or something. Either that or YouTube's comments are always a little bit funky. That too. This gentleman here is Albert Pike. He's just an interesting enough character. I thought it was worth looking at him. Albert Pike was a Civil War Southern General, Confederate General. Not General, Colonel or something along those lines. Wait a minute. Hold on a second. Albert Pike

19:20 Was he the one that came up with the Golden Circle? I don't have... I didn't see that, but I haven't read his entire 800-page book. Because the Golden Circle, or whatever they were, I think they... Weren't they tied to the Freemasons or something? Supposedly, they're the ones that came up... Like, it was also in the second National Treasure. The Golden Circle was the predecessor to the KKK.

19:49 I know where you're going. I've got that here in the notes, so give me a second. Scottish Rite comes into existence in 1801. At the time, a lot of these Freemason lodges were still very humanists, which is a good thing. They wanted for the better of humanity. Scottish Rite brought a little bit of a different element to it in some of them. That's where we start getting into this stuff. Hold on a second. Hey, Brian, we're not blocking you.

20:16 I don't know. I think it's YouTube blocking you if they are. I can see your comments, but... Yeah, I can see you just fine. So, Pike and a guy by the name of Colonel Saunders start running a Masonic Lodge in the South. He was a... Eventually would found the KKK, which I have here as the Knights of the Golden Circle was the name there. So, was I right? Yeah, you were correct on that. I thought so, but...

20:55 Supposedly, they were the ones that were behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, thus also represented in the movie. So, Pike is a really interesting figure. He writes this book called, 800-page book, called Morals and Dogma, and it's satanic as all hell. I'm going to let it speak for itself. I'm going to play a quick video.

21:29 You're not going to get this episode blocked, are you? Nah. Okay. I'm sharing the wrong... Well, that guy tied to anything that has morals in it, I'm sure is the opposite. It's like the Ministry of Truth, how it's about lies. Well, the interesting thing about Pike is there's a couple different versions of who and what he was. Some people are going to say, you know, there's no real, no hard evidence of all this stuff besides his own writings. This 800-pound...

21:54 page book speaks for itself, but some of the other legends about him, what he did, people, it is disputed. Some of the stuff I will tell you, his body is interned, interned in Washington, DC, uh, on the same, uh, at the same building where the FBI has its headquarters. Interesting. So that's a little foreshadowing of where we're going to go here in a second. Oh boy. Let's do it. I think I got to find, hang on. Here it is.

22:23 So this is a new documentary put out by Matthew Errett. I want to give him a shout out. He's a really good source on a lot of this stuff. Who? Matthew Errett. I mentioned him earlier. Oh, okay. What's up, community creeper? I want to get you on the show sometime. All right. Hopefully you should tell me you can hear this. I have it queued up to the part I want. Albert Pike, General of the Confederate Armies during the Civil War. Are you able to hear that? Yeah. Okay.

22:55 This is about to be, I think it's about a five-minute sketch, but it's worth hearing about it. ...was elected sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite's southern jurisdiction. In 1871, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Anti-Bible of the Rite, was first published by Pike. If one is to understand what constitutes the morals and dogma of such a membership, to which Hoover entered the innermost circle...

23:26 It will become clear that not only does the right act as an opposing church to Christianity, but that pledging one's allegiance to the secret society is understood as coming before all else in the material world, including government and country. Writing about top-down organization, Pike wrote the following in his book Morals and Dogma. Lower degrees are but for the outer court a part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate.

24:01 but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the adepts. These are the very same techniques used by the cult of Delphi with the understanding that the true explication of the symbols will only be understood by those supposedly worthy of them, that is, the adepts.

24:35 who are the princes of masonry how does one know if one is a prince of masonry those who are foolish enough to have complete faith in the magic of the occult will give an honest attempt to understand such symbols however the truth of the matter is that those who are moved closer to the inner sanctum are merely chosen for their usefulness as instruments of a higher will

25:05 While this person might be a pawn who plays the determining role in a checkmate, they remain nevertheless just a pawn within a great game they never controlled or even understood. Pike would also write in his Moral's Dogma, Men are but the automata of Providence, and Providence uses the demagogue, the fanatic, and the knave as its tools and instruments to effect that which they do not dream.

25:36 and which they imagine themselves commissioned to prevent. Here it becomes clear that the majority of mankind is considered by the right as an instrument of providence, and that to do the will of such providence justifies that the right treat mankind as such. We will see shortly what sort of providence they are speaking of. Perhaps most alarming are Pike's views of God and what is to be considered good. The Masonic religion should be

26:10 by all of us initiates of the higher degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonai, the God of the Christians, whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidity and hatred of men, barbarism and repulsion to science, would Adonai and his priests calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God. And unfortunately, Adonai is also God.

26:42 For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black. For the absolute can only exist as two gods. The true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer. But Lucifer, the god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonai, the god of darkness and evil. Kind of blood chilling, isn't it?

27:24 Oops, I can't hear you, buddy. Yeah, that man is disgusting. A blasphemer. I'll tell you this. Well, that's basically Satanism. True Satanism as it exists, from my readings, is not necessarily fire and brimstone and evil. It's a different interpretation of natural law versus God's law. And since they don't believe in God's law, those conjectures make perfect sense to them.

27:57 That was absolutely disgusting. I knew you'd enjoy that. Oh, man. That guy, oof. So these are people who want to shape the world to their own ends. And as we've talked about over the last few months, there's all kinds of different players in this gigantic global Game of Thrones. But these people wanted to work from behind the scenes and infiltrate governments and move, you know, basically, you know, they've got these infiltrations or what Matt would call fifth column.

28:28 places in every country in the world. What you end up seeing happening is they will find a way to get their own people, their own brothers into these little chokehold positions throughout the government. Even if 80% of the people in our government are straight shooters, the people that are not, I got a mosquito flying around, they will get into chokepoint positions and that's how they control government. In our case, we want to talk about the FBI.

28:56 that is basically a secret society in itself the um that is a scottish right freemason that let me say this real quick um are they is the illuminati behind the reason why we have fiat money because what else would they have why else would we have the pyramid with the all-seeing eye on it now the idea of fiat currency goes back thousands it goes back well before uh the illuminati fiat just means paper not backed by sent by anything else um okay

29:24 The symbolism on our currency is probably a conversation for next week. There's all kinds of Masonic symbolism in DC itself. You see that stuff. We talk about the symbolism. Symbolism is huge for these people. What it says in the Bible, you shall not worship idols. They don't agree with that. It sounds like literally everything the opposite of what

29:53 It makes sense. It's literally the opposite of what God is. But they're saying that their side is good and right when it's really wrong. People that believe that stuff... So let's go back to a guy by the name of Giuseppe Mazzini. He's a guy who worked with Albert Pike.

30:26 He started something called the Young Europe Movements. This is not too dissimilar to the Free Society Foundation that George Soros has out there. They also had a Young American. They had a Young Movement for several different regions. It was all about infiltrating, destroying the monarchies, etc. Destroying governments and basically creating their... Eventually, this is all leading toward their one world order under Satan. That's where it all ties into. These are the eugenicists, everything like that. These are just different...

30:55 of that giant movement. I think you're talking about the FBI. Yeah, we're about to get there. I know, I've been throwing everything kind of off, but my brain is actually working right now, which I'm shocked. No, I'm not going to. My brain was, I couldn't even rub two sticks together and make my brain spark. No, I didn't set this up to go in chronological order, so it's fine. Okay. Hey, we got 12 people watching right now. Is that a, that's a good number.

31:27 I think that's the highest we've been so far. It's funny. We get about 10 times more. Last week, two weeks ago, we got a couple hundred views. We're starting to grow the channel. I think people don't like all three of us in the same video. That's not true. Doug's always a big pull. I'm saying if it's me and you, it's great. If it's you and him, it's great.

31:56 If it's me and him, it's okay. But if it's all three of us, that's about the worst. So we get to the 20th century, around the 1900s. A guy named Charles Bonaparte comes over, Napoleon's cousin. He was involved in some of this stuff. If you've heard me talk before about the Anglo-American global empire or rules-based orders post-World War II, the way the British have always been able to control so much of the world is they use intelligence, what we would call espionage.

32:28 And that's really what these people do with this fifth column type stuff. They infiltrate, they bribe, they find people in other countries that are willing to do anything for power. They put those people in the positions of power. They use money, bribery, every art of espionage you can think of, murder you have. And they do that so they can topple governments they don't like, exploit resources and everything like that. We get to the 20th century and a gentleman by the name of Palmer is put into basically

32:59 Is he the attorney general? I don't know. He's in a pretty high position. He created a, there was a, it's the predecessor to the FBI. It was a, I guess what's going on is the secret service was being used by other government agencies for investigative purposes. And they put an end to that under Teddy Roosevelt. And that created the need for a new investigative unit, which became the FBI. Hoover gets named the first head of the FBI.

33:33 These are basically civilian vigilante spies and former provocateurs. They were set loose on unions, radicals, civil rights advocates. The American people absolutely could not stand it. They were very upset about this. And the Palmer Raids were really the beginning of a security state. Basically, enough people were willing to sacrifice freedom for security that the Palmer Raids, well,

34:04 It became a forgotten thing, and the FBI came into fruition or came into existence. From day one, the FBI was founded by the Scottish Rites Freemasons. Hoover was very easy to compromise. He was a cross-dresser. He had a massive ego, God complex, and it made him very easy to handle.

34:27 He had something called a fidelity chapter, which is basically the militant arm of the FBI that was probably dealing with the descendants of today. That was basically descendants of the KKK. Another fun part of this story was under FDR, a guy by the name of Thomas Walsh was getting ready to fire Hoover. Sort of like JFK came in. He said he was going to blow the CIA to smithereens. And sort of like Trump said he was going to take down the intelligence agencies. Well, Palmer came in.

34:58 And he was going to blow out the FBI. The FBI was doing all kinds of bad. They were always trying to destroy good nationalists or good American values because they wanted to topple the country for their own internationalist purposes. That's always been the goal. The FBI did investigate some crimes. There was always some straight shooters. But the inner circle, the Scottish rights, now they always had a different agenda. Well, Thomas Walsh, he was going to fire Hoover.

35:27 And somehow he died the day before taking office. So that shows you the length these people will go to. Let's see what else we have here. Do you have questions? That's a lot of information. I don't really. I'm not surprised that there's a, if I heard this correctly, that there's a connection between the KKK and the FBI. Is that what I heard? Yeah, that's Albert Pike. Again, if you got, there's a, I forget the name of the building in DC, but it's right there on the FBI headquarters.

36:03 The two most famous of these Scottish Rite Freemasons, I would call them the Illuminati. I think that's the natural connection there. They both leave. They got the internment or whatever, the monument to Pike, and then you've got Hoover's desk. Hoover's quite the character. One of the books I'm reading by Whitney Webb I've described talks about going in all the Epstein chronicles. Hoover was seen.

36:35 at a number of parties of people belonging to the mafia, elements of the government, you name it. And these were basically homosexual orgies. And Hoover was always, always in address. There's been several, several people have testified to this, you know, ex-wives of mafia leaders, et cetera, ties into the whole underworld CIA, global narcotics trafficking, which I've talked about this here on the show before, but that's Hoover for you.

37:05 And to understand the kind of power he had by getting blackmail and other people, you know, Hoover's reign of terror lasted through eight presidential administrations. They couldn't get rid of him. He had dirt on everybody, and everybody had dirt on him. And that's the way the game is played in D.C., and I don't think it's changed. Yeah, I think Madison Hawthorne, or is that the representative's name, Madison? Hawthorne. Yes, I almost said Hawthorne.

37:37 On the Warrior Poets Society, on one of the episodes, I think he talked with John Lovell and actually talked about how he was invited by fellow politicians to an orgy or something like that. Yeah, there's documentation of this stuff. These aren't conspiracy theories. There's another fun little story about Albert Pike. This one is not 100% confirmed.

38:05 People out there, you can go to the internet and find people who dispute this. But the story is that in 1871, Albert Pike sent an extraordinary letter to Giuseppe Mazzini. And in this letter, which apparently was briefly displayed at the British Museum before it somehow disappeared in the 70s, he predicted a series of events that would take place decades after his own death. So modern Nostradamus for you. But according to this story,

38:33 I'll just read the paragraph for you. With eerie accuracy, Pike predicted the czars of Russia would fall during a first great conflict. That would be World War I. That happened. Pike wrote this in 1871, so basically 46 years earlier. He then predicted that Nazism would be destroyed while communism would rise during a second great conflict. That would be World War II. Now, before you think he's a prophet, we could probably have a pretty good discussion on whether the Nazis actually lost World War II.

39:04 Because I would say the American fascists who put Hitler in power, they basically won, ended up in a position of power, and ended up creating the CIA. And a lot of the top Nazis got airlifted to the United States. The scientists and a lot of the leaders went to Argentina. So who actually lost? So did the fascists lose World War II? Perhaps not. Yeah, I mean, a majority of them end up coming to America on a free ride.

39:35 It's more like they just got a transfer. But what was I going to say? As far as Pike coming up with all that stuff, I'm sure some people will be like, whoa, well, I'll tell you what. I would not be surprised if he was just talking about plans openly. I mean, you can plan things 30, 40 years in advance and execute them. That's entirely possible. That was one of the thoughts I had when I was reading that the first time. So he's got a third prediction.

40:09 He says that the Zionists will battle the Islamic leaders in a third and final great conflict during which they would mutually destroy each other. After this apocalyptic last battle, the survivors would receive the true light through the universal manifestations of the pure doctrine of Lucifer. And he was definitely an occultist. Broad term, but you understand what that means. They were into all kinds of satanic rites and rituals. Just like we see.

40:44 What is it? Bohemian Grove? That kind of stuff? Yeah. Go ahead. What were you saying? Just amazing all these people in positions of power have got such sick and twisted minds and practices. I don't know if it's cause or effect. Is it chicken egg? Is their belief in these satanic rituals what allows them to get to these positions of power? Or is it they have a personality type that gets them to power and then they get indoctrinated into these other... I don't know.

41:15 They got it from their father. All right, so I'm about to get a little biblical on everybody, but... Tonight's the night to do it. I mean, we were talking about Lucifer, so I knew you were going to get your hackles up. So, the... I'm trying to figure out a word for this. Satan, at the time, Lucifer. Lucifer was his angel name. Satan is what he was called afterwards. The devil, Satan. Lucifer...

41:47 became prideful and thought he was equal, if not greater, than God. Michael, the archangel, and the other angels battled Satan and the demons and kicked them out of heaven. But Satan's ultimate sin was pride. And children are like their father, right? And that's how you can tell if someone's a Christian or not a Christian, is what are their fruits?

42:19 loving, kind, patient, have self-control, like how the Bible says that we are to be as Christians, for those who are Christians, or are you prideful, you don't care about anyone else, you're manipulative, have an evil intent on things, then you're like, I guess what we would call our first father. So the way how my pastor put it one time is that we have four fathers. We have our first father, who is Satan.

42:48 We have our, um, you know, cause we're, we're sinful. We're born into sin. Um, and we have our forefathers who are the fathers before us. We have our actual, like our actual father, and then we have our heavenly father. So, but anyway, that's basically, I was going to get to on that tonight, but no, that's cool. Um,

43:16 Stephanie asked, do I think Freemasonry was corrupt from the beginning or did it just evolve into nefarious activity? I'm guessing you didn't get here from the beginning, but I'll readdress. No, I think Freemasonry, I think of the 6 million current Freemasons, I think the vast majority, probably close to 98-99% are pretty good people that got into Freemasonry for the right reasons to better themselves and to better their communities. I think that's what the core of these fraternal brotherhoods are. I was in a fraternity in college.

43:45 You know, Phi Delta Theta. No, it's okay, Stephanie. I was going to recap that because we talk about all the evils that are associated with Freemasonry. And I think what you just have is we have a perverted subsection of it. And the way it is so subdivided into individual chapters that have so much autonomy and how they run their chapters, I think it's very easy. And again, when the Illuminati were destroyed in Europe, they fled to other secret societies. And what better place to hide?

44:14 secret society than within another secret society. We've all met people who have an uncle who's a Freemason, third degree, whatever. What's the guys with the Fezzes? The Shriners. Those guys are also Freemasons. Is that a branch of Freemasonry? I didn't know if it was or not. I went to Wikipedia and saw this.

44:43 supposedly it's it that i would trust because wikipedia does have sources i didn't look at the sources but it did mention that in there that it's a branch of freemasonry yeah it's i think overall it's a benign organization the only issue i have is you know is the secret societies you know that that allows for the possibility of it to be perverted of children's hospitals being ran by freemasons there was a uh

45:13 Say that again? I'm not really keen of Freemasons running children's hospitals. Well, I think that's perfectly normal. They do have altruistic goals. Yeah, but they're satanic and perverted. But not all of them are. The vast majority are actually good organizations. Masonry by itself, Freemasonry...

45:38 By itself, there's nothing sinister about it. It's just how it's been perverted from within in certain areas. Unfortunately, it appears that's happening in Washington, D.C. and other positions of power throughout the world. Well, someone a while back put a connection between all the Epstein stuff and children's hospitals, the drag queen stuff, all that. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest.

46:05 uh human slash child trafficking event in the of the year you know so uh uh the department of children's safety or whatever that is really is uh you know nefarious granted i don't have documentation of this but that's that's the rumor mill well we talked earlier about my uh my favorite uh secret society is the order of skull and bones you remember a couple months ago uh

46:35 That one's mostly presidential, though, isn't it? Oh, goodness, no. Do you want me to track down that? If you can entertain people from it, I'll track down my list of prominent members of Skull and Bones. Oh, God, you got everyone from Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush. You've got the founder of Time Magazine. Oh, goodness, it's a wonderful list. It's funny, one of the co-founders of that, again, is a narcotics smuggler. Same way.

47:05 Same way Rockefeller's father was an opium dealer selling elixir. A lot of this ties into narcotics. It always has. Probably pretty much since the British East India Company figured out how to use the opium wars to take over countries, etc. That's been the game plan for 300 or 400 years. What do you mean, Stephanie, that that's not your comment?

47:37 She said this was a comment in my group chat earlier. I'm not understanding that one. The Freemasons are very bad. Many don't know that their buildings put curses on those who enter. This would include... I am not seeing that comment. Well, I just read it to you. That's weird.

48:07 I guess, what's your take on that comment? I'm going to disagree. Again, there's a lot of good in the world done by Freemasons. And if you look at their core fundamental philosophies, they're pretty reasonable and admirable in some cases. You get the top people in their community, they recruit, say, this is a good person, we'd like to have him join us. The fact that it gets perverted from within in some rare instances, that's not the...

48:42 You can't cast that blame on the rest of them because they are so subdivided. It's not a very well-organized. Even Albert Pike, when he was in his prime, he set up 23 subordinate councils in strategic places throughout the world, including five grand central directories in D.C., South America, Naples, Calcutta, and Mauritius.

49:05 which were used to gather information. They were basically a giant intel agency. Intelligence is more than just gathering intelligence. It's about manipulating the countries. There was people that were pulling their puppet strings. We talk about who sits at the table, who really are the puppet masters. These FBI, Scottish Rite Freemasons, they're taking orders from somebody else. There is a...

49:34 there's a lot of people that sit at that control table and they're always jockeying for position. But that's kind of how the way it works. The vast majority of Freemasons don't know anything about that, just like the vast majority of people don't know. You know, you talk about they have the different levels of masonry up to the 33rd level, which apparently the Illuminati brought in. They're not telling the lower orders what's going on. So I would say they are not very bad. Bill, you are correct. Freemasonry is considered the oldest.

50:03 widely known fraternal organization. I did not know it was the largest. Six million doesn't seem that big. Well, I guess that the organization has obviously rules that's prejudiced towards who joins. I mean, that would actually kind of make sense. I'm pulling up my list of skull and bones. I put together this list for a presentation I gave a little while back. Oh.

50:37 Skull and Bones. You have the Dulles brothers, I think. All right. So this is fun. I may have done this on your show before, but for this audience, I'll do it again. Skull and Bones. This is the worst of the secret societies that we know about, I think. Set up by Alonzo Taft in 1832. The co-founder is a co-founder. He built the links that ties all the people together. Is he a president?

51:07 No, no, he's the father or grandfather of William Taft, who will get there. So they were 46 years apart in Skull and Bones, so I bet he's the grandfather. Oh, Brady, by the way, you have nine minutes left. Are we cutting off at one hour exactly? I can get through this in nine minutes. Perfect. So Alonzo Taft was also Ulysses Grant's Secretary of War and Attorney General. So very prominent man.

51:37 The other co-founder, and this is Yale University, and they pick, I believe it's 16 people, juniors every year to be Skull and Bones the next year, and they enter into positions of power throughout the government. This is the best of Yale's people. It is an old boy network like no other. William Russell is the co-founder. His family made its money in the opium trade, and the Russell Trust still manages all the Skull and Bones assets to this day. I would imagine that's a really large chunk of change.

52:09 There's a guy by the name of Morrison Waite. In 1837, he became a Supreme Court Justice. He had William H. Taft. He's the only person to ever serve as the President of the United States and on the Supreme Court. Also, the man, Teddy Roosevelt, pushed aside to usher in Woodrow Wilson, which I say shows the different factions even back then. There's Harold Stanley, 1908. You know who he is? What was the name? Harold Stanley.

52:39 I'm guessing it's the famous Stanleys. Co-founder of Morgan Stanley Investment Bank. Interesting. I was thinking Stanley the carpet cleaner. You ever heard of... I don't think there's a relation there, but you never know. The investment bank might have had a cousin. Probably financed his business. Who knows? Ever heard of William Averill Harriman? Bonesman, 1913. He's the son of railroad tycoon Robert Barron, E.H. Harriman.

53:11 and one of the founders of Brown Brothers Harriman. He was also a participant in the business plot in 1933 where they tried to overthrow FDR, as was this next guy. Ever heard of Prescott? Would overthrowing FDR be a good thing, though? That guy was a jerk. We don't do coups in America. Well, I know. I'm just saying. FDR expanded the government as much as anybody since Lincoln, and so I do not like him, and I never will.

53:45 Was he all bad? He inherited the Great Depression, which was basically created by a terrible system. He cleaned out that system. He gave us actually good securities laws. He wasn't all bad. He makes my bottom 10 presidents of all time, but he doesn't make my bottom five. Fair enough? Okay. I'll roll it. All right. Next name I have on here. This one you'll know, Prescott Bush. Yeah. He was the co-founder of Brown Brothers Harriman, along with William Averill Harriman.

54:15 That is an exclusive Wall Street bank that really only catered to about the 50 richest families in the Northeast, the Yankees. This is the firm that financed the Nazis throughout the 1930s. That was Harriman and Bush. Good guys. Robert Lovett, who's known in a lot of these circles. He was friends with Prescott, and he was on Truman's War Advisory Board. Robert Lovett would be very instrumental in the founding of the CIA. Henry Luce.

54:51 1919. Know who that is? Say the name again? Henry Luce. L-U-C-E. No. He founded the world's most influential magazine empire. Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated. Yeah, I would never have guessed that. Interesting guy. Adolf Hitler appeared on the cover of Time magazine several times. We can tell you where. He made Adolf Hitler Man of the Year. I think Mussolini made it too.

55:24 And one of the Stalin or someone like that may have made it. So that's where Henry Luce comes from. But that controlled a lot of the media. All right. Here's some more fun ones. George Herbert Walker Jr. Heard of him? I believe I have. His father-in-law and his father both served as Secretary of State, if I have that right. He was a big financier.

56:01 And he also was the founder of the New York Mets, so he's a big New York power player. Wait, say that name again? George Herbert Walker Jr. That's who George Herbert Walker Bush is. This is who George Herbert Walker Bush was named after. Okay. That's how close these families are. Gotcha. All right, this is a big one. You ever heard of James Jesus Angleton? You should know this one. Who? James Jesus Angleton. Did you say Jesus in the middle?

56:32 That's his middle name. James Jesus Angleton. He's a Bonesman, 1936. He was a CIA counterintelligence chief, and he was appointed to the Warren Commission that investigated the JFK assassination. So you got a secret society, Skull and Bonesman, who worked for the CIA, which more than likely played a part in the assassination of JFK.

57:02 This guy sits on the committee that's investigating them. Interesting, huh? They make the mess and then they have their own cleaned it up. We got these Republican committees in the Republican House coming up. Who sits on these committees is going to matter. We need to hold their feet to the fire. No fake investigations. Who's your most shocking person on that list? God, none of them.

57:43 I would say Luce, Henry Luce, the Time Magazine one. That's one I didn't know. When I first found that out, I go, okay, that makes a lot of sense. I'll skip to some other good ones. Potter Stewart, who ended up being a Supreme Court justice. Well, this one's, yeah, you're going to love this one. You remember McGeorge Bundy? McGeorge Bundy? He was in the news a lot in the 60s and 70s.

58:12 He was a national security advisor to both Kennedy and LBJ. He was the driving force behind the U.S. getting involved in the Vietnam War, which was basically done to benefit the CIA and the narcotics trafficking. Yeah, because if I remember right, Kennedy didn't want anything to do with it. It's one of the many reasons people think Kennedy was shot, if he was trying to stay out of foreign conflicts. Well, because at the time, whenever Kennedy was alive, I believe the French was trying to...

58:43 do something with Vietnam and then the French got utterly annihilated. Yeah, they got routed. They left in an embarrassment. They left a mess and we tried to clean it up. He's actually the son of the guy we named earlier, Robert Lovett. They're related. That's father-son, just different last name. He's also the brother of a bonesman named William Bundy who was the State Department liaison for the Bay of Pigs invasion.

59:12 Are any of these guys related to the serial killer Bundy? No, and I don't think they're related to Bundy Ranch either. There's a lot of Bundys. Well, what about Al Bundy? The best Bundy ever. Who's Al Bundy? Married with Children? Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Okay. That's a different generation. Well, no, I've seen the show. I just forgot his name was Al Bundy. All right, the next one you get here is George H.W. Bush. He was a bonesman in 1948.

59:42 needs no more explanation would would go on to lead the cia so we're talking about secret societies tonight and so you've got i've made the case that the scottish right freemasons infiltrated the fbi and i'm showing you how skull and bones has pretty much been the driving force behind the cia so it's uh hey see you chris thanks for coming by yeah um so so you can this is our intelligence agencies and this is who

1:00:11 Basically, the House Republicans are about to investigate. If they're not asking these questions, it's not a real investigation. I don't know. Maybe I should give Jim Jordan a phone call because they've got a committee, church-style committee, to look into the intelligence agencies. I know we're at an hour. Can I just finish up the list? It'll only be a few minutes. Can we go a few minutes over? Say that again? I'm sorry. We just hit one hour, but I want to finish up the list just to tie it all together. All right. Yeah, go ahead.

1:00:41 William Buckley, that's the most shocking name on the list. And Doug couldn't believe it when I told him this one. That's funny, Stephanie. Did you freeze or were you reading? I was reading, Stephanie. You look so still. I was like, did he just freeze? My apologies. William Buckley is the founder of the American Conservative Movement. He's the founder of National Review and Firing Line. He was also the brother of a New York U.S. Senator, James Buckley, who was also a Bonesman.

1:01:15 Another fun one. A guy by the name of Jonathan James Bush. Yes, he's related. He's the son of Prescott Bush. He's an investment banker. And he provides discreet banking in D.C., primarily works with foreign embassies. This is a money launderer. Does he work for J.P. Morgan by any chance? No, he's kind of an independent guy. He's got his own thing. Next Bonesman. Oh, John Kerry. So this is both parties.

1:01:45 1966. George W. Bush, 1968. A guy by the name of Stephan Swarman, who is the CEO of the Blackstone Group, currently the second-onest landowner in the United States. Dana Milbank, who was a columnist for the Washington Post, who covered Bush and Obama exclusively. And then, of course, there's Austin Goolsbee, who's the chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisors. So what you have is secret societies.

1:02:16 Putting their people in positions of power throughout the government and influential positions in business. And that is who runs the world right there. Or that is how who runs the government, I should say. Yeah. These are the blue bloods, my friend. These are the people that think that they are above the law and better than the rest of us.
