The following is based on information released by cult
researchers such as John Coleman, Dennis Brunnell, David J.
Smith, Myron Fagan, Dr. Antony Sutton, Constance Cumbey, J.
Edward Decker, Jim Shaw, Ralph Woodrow, Edmond Paris and Trevor
Ravenscroft.  All of these researchers support each other in
their conclusions:

     If possible, find a copy of a street map of our nations
capitol, Washington D.C.  As you observe the street lay-out of
the city you will immediately see some peculiar things, as if the
city itself were laid out in some form of occultic pattern, with
accompanying symbols and designs.  Just what do these mysterious
symbols represent?
     The bizarre street layout of our nation's capital is no
coincidence.  In this report we will attempt to give a brief
history of how this came about, and the 'behind-the-scenes'
events surrounding it.
     On May 1st, 1776, a Jesuit Priest and professor of 'cannon
law' at Ingolstadt University in Bavaria, Germany, by the name of
Adam Weishaupt 'officially' organized a secret society which
became known as the 'Order of the Illuminati'.  The term
'Illuminati' can actually be traced back through secret cult
movements that were in existence in ancient Rome, Egypt, Babylon
and elsewhere, which has led some to believe that Weishaupt was
merely under orders to establish a branch of an ancient secret
society thousands of years old.  The fact that this officially
took place on May 1st is interesting, for May 1st or 'May Day' is
also a major Communist holiday.  The connection will become more
obvious as you read on (see: FREEMASONRY AND THE ONE WORLD
CONSPIRACY, by Dr. John Coleman., World Intelligence Review.,
P.O. Box 507., Chalmette, LA  70044).
     'The Order' of the Illuminati was created with an inner and
an outer level.  Those in the outer or lower level were given
promises of taking part in the formation of a socialist 'New
World Order', an alleged 'workers paradise' where everyone would
(supposedly) be equals.  With revolutionary zeal, these outer
initiates set out to do the bidding of the 'inner council'.  The
only problem was, the inner circle couldn't have cared less about
human equality, as their intentions were rooted in one thing,
POWER.  In short, they desired to 'play god', just as Nimrod,
Pharaoh, Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler and others had done through the
ages.  However, the inner council of the Illuminati went about
this in a much more subtle way than their early despotic
counterparts had done.  Even if some of the actual intentions of
the 'Communist's' centered around the realization of a
'socialist' paradise, their plans were bound to fail because of
the fact that they were merely being used as pawns to carry out
the will of those within the inner 'elite'.
     History has shown us over and over again that every attempt
to create a 'paradise' based on human achievement outside of
Divine will has failed.  The inner elite of the Illuminati spoke
much of 'world unity' when actually the only thing that these
socialists were 'united' in was the IDEA that they could reign
with absolute god-like authority over their fellow man.  Some
believe that George Orwell learned about their plans for a one-
world dictatorship after visiting Paris, France, where he
observed some of the Illuminati's activities.  He exposed some of
their agenda in his book '1984' and was according to one source
later assassinated by them for daring to expose their secrets to
the world (see: THE GEMSTONE FILE, by Dennis Brunnell.  Brunnell,
an avowed 'disillusioned' 33rd degree Mason and Grand Master of
the O.T.O. sent several of these reports in the mid-1980's out to
various researchers, although they were never officially
'published' as such.  The reports dealt with the research of
Prof. Bruce Roberts who described the CIA-Mafia connection to the
JFK assassination, the Oil Company conspiracies, etc., and
contained additional notations by Brunnell himself on the
Illuminati connection).
     "The Illuminists desired power, and their lust for it
apparently became insatiable, to the point that they sought it by
any means, and at any cost.  As a result of this several of them
inevitably gravitated towards the practice of the worst forms of
witchcraft and Satanism, while many of them had already been
involved with the powers of darkness when they joined the lodge.
     "At the time the Illuminati came into existence (or rather
some suggest, at the time of it's 'resurgence' under Weishaupt's
secret society) there were numerous 'Masonic Lodges' in
operation.  These were fraternal 'guilds' or 'unions' created by
those in the stone-mason trades, many of which appeared OUTWARDLY
to be fraternal organizations wherein stone masons could gather
together in order to protect the secrets of their craft. 
Inwardly however, a small core existed which were sympathetic to
the ancient Babylonian teachings upon which Weishaupt's cult was
based.
     "Weishaupt and his followers, in league with the small core
of occultists already working within the Masonic Lodges,
succeeded in infiltrating the lower levels of the Masonic Lodge
as well as other 'allied' lodges with their occultic and
subversive philosophies.  This way the inner elite could
manipulate the ignorant pawns in the lower levels into carrying
out their desires.  They would do this in such a way that the
lower-ranking members would not suspect that they were being used
to carry out plans which were actually evil and in some cases
outright satanic in nature.  The Illuminati with the help of the
loyal occultists within the Masonic lodges succeeded in fully
infiltrating the Masonry to a point that was beyond their wildest
expectations.  They became so powerful within the lodge that in
the year 1798 no less notable figures than George Washington and
the presidents of Yale and Harvard Universities warned about the
Illuminati's infiltration into America, and of their plans to
spread their humanistic gospel of 'Lucifer' or 'Illuminism' even
before the revolutionary war (see; THE GREAT MERGER OF EAST AND
WEST, taped message No. 445, and other works by David J. Smith.,
c/o NEWSWATCH MAGAZINE., P.O. Box 1073., St. Ann, MO  53074).
     The Illuminati created a 'front' organization known as the
'International Working Man's League' which met in Paris and
London.  The one-worlders used this organization as a means to
bring not only all of the Masonic lodges, but every secret
society which existed in Europe at the time (including occult
societies) under their influence, consolidating them and bringing
them under the direct control of the 33rd degree of Masonry.  The
33rd degree is the highest and most secretive of the Masonic
degrees and owes allegiance to no nation and in fact see
themselves as the exalted among the human race, and therefore
worthy of reigning over the human race as its supreme dictators. 
     They not only desired to control the economic world, but the
political and religious realms as well.  There are dozens of
modern religious movements or cults which were either infiltrated
by or initiated by 33rd degree Masons.  The Illuminati desired to
gain control of every area that they possibly could.  As the old
saying goes: "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts
absolutely!".  This insatiable lust for power and control is
evidenced by the Illuminati's attempts to control the information
mediums of television, hollywood, publishers, newspapers,
magazines, etc., as a means of manipulating public opinion in
their favor.  This media control has been documented by several
different Patriotic research organizations, and still continues
today.  In this way they could also suppress those who come out
against the conspiracy by labeling them fanatics, bigots,
cultists, paranoid, extremist or generally ridicule them in the
eyes of the masses who depend on the mass media for all of their
information.
     In many cases the masses are 'drinking' from intellectual
'sewers' in the form of mass medium which are owned and
controlled by the rich and powerful members of the secret
societies, and they are NOT going to let anything out in THEIR
media which would be damaging to their cause.  In 1947,
Congressional hearings were conducted in Washington D.C. as a
result of charges of treason brought against 'socialists' who
were running Hollywood, and using it as a platform to spread
socialist propaganda as part of the secret campaign to establish
a one world socialist dictatorship.  It was found that most of
those who were charged WERE Socialists and/or Communists.  These
hearings however failed to purge Hollywood of this influence, and
in fact afterwards their power in Hollywood INCREASED.  Did they
have sympathizers in Washington D.C.?  This is only the tip of
the iceberg whereas 'media control' is concerned (see: HOLLYWOOD
SECRET GOVERNMENT, by Myron Fagan.  Two part article in THE
PATRIOT REVIEW--Vol. III, No. 9-10--., 33836 SE Kelso Rd #6.,
P.O. Box 596., Boring, OR  97099).
     One of the products of the Worker's 'International'
Conferences was a man by the name of Karl Marx.  Marx agreed to
assist in the destruction of the old world system in order to
pave the way for the 'New World Order' which the Illuminati
planned to establish.  The supposed 'fall' of communism--which
incidentally still exists in China and elsewhere--is merely a
sign that the communist movement has more-or-less served its
purpose as the anti-thesis of democracy, as we see western
democracy and communism attempting to 'merge' into so-called
democratic world-socialism which in reality is nothing less than
one-world despotism.  Take note of the hypocrites who are taking
the glory for the 'fall' of communism.  THEY ARE THE VERY PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO PUSH THE 'NEW WORLD ORDER' DOWN OUR THROATS!
     Karl Marx's past associations with high-level Masonry cannot
be refuted, and there are indications from some of those who knew
him, that Marx was a satanist also.  The major 'target' of Karl
Marx's movement were: The destruction of the independent republic
of America--which was built upon the premise that all men were
CREATED EQUAL; and the Judeo-Christian belief system which was
based on the Holy Bible, which teaches that there is a benevolent
Almighty God who rules the Universe from an eternal realm beyond
it.  BOTH of these ideas were considered obstacles to these self-
proclaimed 'gods' who, in league with their human and inhuman
masters, desired to elevate themselves above all else at the
expense of the rest of humanity.  This is why after years of
revolution and the deaths of AT LEAST 200,000,000 persons at the
hand of the 'revolutionists', 'Communism' has failed to produce
the 'Worker's Paradise' that it promised.  
     The threat to America began when the original 13 colonies
were still in their infancy.  The Illuminati established 13 Grand
Masonic Lodges, one in each of the colonies.  Using some of the
fraternal lodges of well respected colleges such as Harvard and
Yale as recruiting grounds, 'The Order' raised up an army of
highly intellectual revolutionary-minded politicians, economists,
bankers, educational and media advisors, etc., to help carry out
their plans.  In fact, these undercover socialists had so much
power and influence that they were able to place their symbols
and other hints of their planned World Order on the reverse side
of the one-dollar bill, or 'Federal Reserve Note'.  Their plans
call for the eventual elimination of paper and metal currencies
in exchange for an international computerized electronic-funds-
transfer system where everyone in every nation would be commanded
to receive a card and an identification number with which they
will be forced to make all monetary transactions.  If that sounds
like a frightening scenario when compared to the 13th chapter of
the book of Revelation, it is no coincidence.
     The Illuminati established a PRIVATE non-government bank
known as the 'Federal Reserve'.  They were also instrumental in
establishing other organizations which are now involved in
molding world economic and political policies.  These include
the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the
Bilderbergers, the Aspen Institute, etc.  These were used to
undermine America's independence and to unite the nations of the
earth - first economically, then politically, and finally
spiritually under the banner of their ancient Luciferian cult
which can be traced back to ancient Babylon itself.
     Their Luciferian philosophy calls for the eventual
'planetary initiation' into the ancient 'mystery' society as a
supposed means of bringing humanity into an alleged evolutionary
metamorphosis.  Many of the plans involved in this aspect of the
New World Order are being carried out by the Theosophical Lodge
and the 'New Age' philosophies which they have promoted and in
many cases initiated.  In fact, according to researcher and 'New
Age' expositors such as Constance Cumbey the Theosophical Society
IS the fountainhead organization of the 'New Age' Movement.  It
was this same occult society which so inspired Adolph Hitler's
inner core of occult mystics, the 'S.S.', the 'Thule Society',
the 'Vril Society', and so on.  The Theosophical Lodge believes
that the 'mystery number' by which this 'planetary initiation'
will take place is '666'.  According to Jewish numerology, the
number (6) signifies man who is less than perfect (7), while (3)
signifies the number of the Tri-Unified Godhead or Almighty God,
Christ and the Eternal Spirit which they share (Spirit of God,
Spirit of Christ), signified by the number 777.  Therefore three
sixes signify man attempting to make himself God, which is what
the Antichrist of Revelation 13 will try to do.  The Theosophical
office within the United Nations complex is known as the 'Lucis
Trust', formerly 'Lucifer Publishing Co.,' believe it or not.  It
sits adjacent and works closely with the Baha'i Administration
office, the Baha'i religion being another movement similar to
Masonry, the New Age Movement, Catholicism, Unitarianism, etc.,
in that it is determined to bring all economic, political and
religious movements together into a one-world system. (see: THE
HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW, by Constance Cumbey., c/o
CHRISTIAN INFORMATION BUREAU., P.O. Box 3120., Camarillo, CA

     Now we will reveal some things concerning the Illuminati's
interference within the nations capital.  When the construction
of Washington D.C. was contracted, it is obvious that stone-
masons who were being manipulated by high-level 33rd degree
Masons were involved.  The Masonic degrees were constructed in
such a way that the lowest degrees appeared to be pro-American
and even pro-Christian in nature.  However, as one is initiated
into the deeper or higher levels, the American and Christian
ideals are slowly eroded away, and replaced by socialistic and
humanistic-pagan doctrines and belief systems.  The brainwashing
is slow and subtle, and in this way the Illuminists are able to
manipulate ALL of the degrees at will.
     Many of the secret occult societies which were later
consolidated under the Illuminati date back to ancient or Old
Testament times and were rooted in the ancient 'Baal' worship as
it was practiced in ancient Babylon, Chaldea, Egypt and even
Rome.  Some of these ancient cults believed in human sacrifice
and worshipped images of stone.  These were often tall 4-sided
obelisks with a pyramidal cap.  These phallic 'sun images'
represented the worship of nature and natural forces, or the
worship of the creation rather than the Creator.
     These occultist considered certain symbols and numbers as
being of mystical significance, and it is with this realization
that we begin to understand why they set out to leave their
'mark' on the capitol city of the United States as well.  History
bears record to the fact that at the groundbreaking and
dedication of nearly every government building in Washington
D.C., high-ranking Masons were present.  This may all sound
incredible, but the proof is in the layout of Washington D.C.
itself.
     For instance, take a good street map of the Washington D.C.
area and it's immediate surroundings.  You can see in it many
MAJOR masonic symbols in the street layout: The Square, the
Compass, the Rule and the Pentagram.  Notice the Capitol.  Facing
the Capitol from the Mall and using the Capitol as the head or
top of the Compass, the left leg of the Compass stands on the
White House and the right leg stands on the Jefferson Memorial. 
The circle drive and short streets behind the Capitol form the
head and ears of what some of the more deep-level practitioners
of witchcraft call the Goat of Mendez or Goats head.             
     On top of the White House is an inverted 5 pointed
star, or PENTAGRAM.  The point is facing south in true occult
fashion.  It sits within the intersections of Connecticut and
Vermont Avenues north of Dupont and Logan Circles, with Rhode
Island and Massachusetts Avenues going to Washington Circle to
the west and Mt. Vernon Square on the East. (see: FREEMASONRY:
SATAN'S DOOR TO AMERICA? by J. Edward Decker., c/o FREE THE
MASONS MINISTRIES., P.O. Box 1077., Issaquah, WA  98027)
     The center of the pentagram is 16th St., where, THIRTEEN
blocks due north of the very center of the White House, the
Masonic HOUSE OF THE TEMPLE sits at the top of this occult
iceberg.  The 'House of the Temple' is the headquarters of the
Council of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. 
Within the walls of this pagan temple lies buried the corpse of
Albert Pike, the former Grand Pontiff of all the lodges of
Universal Freemasonry throughout the world. (see: THE DEADLY
DECEPTION, by James Shaw--former 33rd degree Mason and Past
Master of all Scottish Rite bodies--., P.O. Box 884., Silver
Springs, FL  32688)
     The Washington Monument, which happens to be an EXACT
DUPLICATE of the 'sun images' or alters of Baal which stood in
ancient Babylon and Egypt, itself stands in perfect line to the
intersecting point or the form of the masonic square, stretching
from the House of the Temple to the Capitol building.  Actual
'alters' of this type have been transported at great expense and
energy from Egypt to other parts of the globe, including London,
Paris, New York, and several of the Babylonian alters were even
transported to Rome!  The 'Grand Alter' obelisk which was
transported at great cost from the religious center at
Heleopolis, Egypt to Rome, was positioned in the center of St.
Peter's Square in 1586.  Pope Sixtus V hired a crew of 800
workmen, 160 horses and 45 winches to move this Egyptian obelisk.
Multitudes crowded the square on Sept. 10 when the obelisk-altar
was moved, and the Pope placed a strict DEATH PENALTY upon any of
the workmen who might be responsible for breaking it, or on any
of the onlookers who broke the requirement to remain silent while
it was being moved to it's destination.  This shows how much
importance the 'holy Roman Empire' attributed to this idol. (see:
BABYLONIAN MYSTERY RELIGION, by Ralph Woodrow., c/o Ralph Woodrow
Publications., P.O. Box 124., Riverside, CA  92502)
     Within the hypotenuse of the right triangle of the masonic
square in the street layout of Washington D.C., sit many of the
headquarter buildings for the most powerful departments of
government, such as the Justice Department, the U.S. Senate and
the Internal Revenue Service.
     As for the PentaGRAM, it is one of the two secret symbols of
the highest levels of Freemasonry, the ANCIENT AND ILLUMINATED
SEERS OF BAVARIA (aka the 'Illuminati') - the other is the
pentaGON: (the U.S. Defense Agency's headquarters are located in
the 'Pentagon' building in Washington D.C.).  Every pentagram has
a PENTAGON within it, as one can see.  This idolatrous image was
worshipped by apostate Israelites in Old Testament times, who in
turn were corrupted by it as a result of interaction with other
pagan gentile nations.  As J. Edward Decker has said: "The image
is said to attract demonic powers and is sullied by untold
centuries of debauched worship; and yet it is carefully placed
right upon our nations Capitol!  So, instead of God's blessing
upon this nation, these pagan images and symbols in Washington
D.C. are attracting the powers of hell!  Is it any wonder that
Washington D.C. has been marred by so many scandals?"
     Ed Decker in his article referred to above, mentioned that
according to certain occult circles the Pentagon is holding
prisoner(!?) an 'alien' or an 'arch-daemon' which certain members
of various witchcraft cults have identified as a 'war demon' - in
keeping with the Pentagon's preoccupation with war strategy. 
Decker claims that a large group of witches who were involved in
an early anti-war protest outside of the Pentagon attempted to
'exorcise' this entity from the nations capitol, but apparently
were unsuccessful.  This may or may not tie-in with allegations
that another(?) 'alien' by the name of 'Thor' or 'Val Thor' is
being held prisoner in the Pentagon or is possibly there of his
or its own will, according to sources such as UFOlogist Frank
Stranges.  'Thor' was somewhat human-appearing but allegedly HAD
NO FINGERPRINTS according to Stranges, leaving open the
possibility that he was NOT human as we know it.  According to
Stranges, this entity claimed to be here for the good of mankind,
although some occultists-UFOlogists have accused Thor of being
here and working in the Pentagon to incite a world-wide nuclear
conflict.  Whether these two entities are the same, or whether
it/they exist at all, is difficult to prove.  But we might tie
this in with traditional occult beliefs which states that
pentagrams and hexagrams are supposed to attract demonic entities
like some kind of spiritual 'beacon'.
     Another bizarre outgrowth of this masonic deception is this.
Early on in America's history, according to Pastor David J.
Smith, 33rd degree masons or Illuminists intentionally
infiltrated some of the larger Protestant denominations in
America and managed to manipulate their way into being positioned
on several of the church boards.  They allegedly inspired many of
these to begin using 'steeples' which were intended to be a sign
to other Masons that these denominations had been infiltrated, as
the 'steeples' secretly represented the ancient alters of Baal
which the occult Masons were so fond of.  This was only a part of
the Illuminati's plan to destroy the Protestant movement, but
this infiltration of the Protestant denominations by 33rd degree
masons was also intended to convert these denominations to the
Illuminati's perverted form of nature worship as well. (see:
David J. Smith's lectures on Baal worship and Freemasonry., c/o
NEWSWATCH MAGAZINE., P.O. Box 1073., St. Ann, MO  53074)
     Incidentally, Adam Weishaupt was a disciple of Jesuit
founder Ignatious Loyola, who inspired the horrible massacres in
Europe known as the 'Inquisitions', which resulted in the deaths
of hundreds of thousands of Protestants.  The Protestants boldly
asserted that the 'Word' of God was for everyone, not just a
select few powerful religious leaders who conspired to keep these
self-condemning (to the leaders) scriptures from the masses; and
that God desired to relate to each person on an individual basis,
and not just through one man - especially a Roman Emperor
masquerading as the 'vicar of Christ' - who is supposedly God's
'sole representative' on earth.  The Protestants refused to bow
down and worship any man, except for Christ the Son of God
Himself.  Since the Jesuit oath specifically targeted the
Protestants, and since the Order itself was largely instituted as
a counterforce against Luther's Protestant reformation movement
which brought the world out of the feudalistic and Romacratic
Dark Ages, and since the Jesuits are seemingly behind the
Illuminati and the Scottish Rite, then perhaps the readers
themselves can put two and two together! (see: THE SECRET HISTORY
OF THE JESUITS, by Edmond Paris, and other works by Jack Chick
and others: c/o Chick Publications., P.O. Box 62., Chino, CA 
91710)
     The ancient alters of Baal, which the Masons successfully
attempted to place on various religious structures, were
WORSHIPPED in ancient Babylon.  In that ancient land these
phallic obelisks contained many 'mystery' meanings, the tower
itself representing Nimrod, the circle or grove around it
represented Semiramis and the obelisk was pointed to the sun,
which represented 'Tammuz', the 'son' of this incestuous demon-
worshipping couple.  Later in Egypt the same obelisks were used,
but the names were changes to Osiris, Isis and Horus.  In Chaldea
and other areas they were known as Baal, Ashtar-oth and again
Tammuz.  This ancient 'Babylon Mystery' religion is what makes up
the heart of occult Freemasonry.  So instead of worshipping the
Almighty Father, His Living 'Word' or 'Logos' Christ-Jesus, and
Their/His Eternal Holy Spirit; the Mason is actually led on a
confusing search for the so-called 'secret name' of God.  In the
'Royal Arch' degree of Masonry, this name is J.B.O. or JAO-BUL-
ON.  This will save any Mason reading this who is searching for
the 'secret name' the trouble of going through the numerous
degrees to find it.  Incidentally 'Jao' is the Greek name for the
god of the Gnostics, LALDABAOTH or LAO, 'Bul' is a rendering of
the name BA'AL and 'On' is the Babylonian name for OSIRIS.  So as
anyone with true vision can see, all this Masonic confusion is
simply a means of using already-existing ancient pagan religions,
along with numerous MAN MADE rituals--with considerable Blasphemy
thrown in--to manipulate the religious feelings and spiritual
nature of man to serve the agendas of those in the highest levels
of power within the 'Lodge'.  God help(?) those selfish men at
the top of the masonic ladder when the lower levels suddenly wake
up and realize they are being lied to and manipulated just to
serve the dictatorial desires of those in the 33rd degree!  The
lower 'stones' who are being spiritually crushed beneath the
Masonic 'pyramid' serve only to bear the weight of the upper
levels.
     There are no doubt many, many sincere people who profess to
be 'Christians', yet who have joined one or more of the branches
of the Masonic Lodge, being deceived into thinking that it is
'Christian' or 'American' because of the lip-service the LOWER
LEVELS must pay to these powerful movements.  One's heart
should go out to these people.  Nevertheless, they are making the
same mistake the children of Israel made in Elijah's time; that
is, trying to mix Jehovah worship with the worship of Baal. 
Elijah rebuked these misled Israelites by saying: "How long halt
ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if
Baal, them follow him." (I Kings 18:21)
    Baal worship can be traced back to Babylon, about a century
after the deluge.  Genesis chapter 11 states that after the
flood, the descendants of Noah settled in the plains of Shinar,
where they built the tower of Babel at the center of what later
became known as Babylon (Babel-on).  Nimrod, the great-grandson
of Noah, was the first King of Babylon.  Genesis 10:9 states that
he was a 'mighty hunter before the Lord'.  The original Hebrew
word for 'before' is 'paneh', which in the context it is written
in denotes the meaning of being an adversary or against someone
or something.  Literally, Nimrod was a mighty hunter AGAINST the
Lord, who led that civilization in rebellion against the
Almighty.  Scripture also calls Nimrod 'a mighty one', an
expression which comes from the word 'gibor' which means TYRANT. 
The name Nimrod itself means 'let us rebel'.
     As THE JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. 9, p. 309 says: Nimrod was
"he who made all the people rebellious against God."  In fact,
the Bible tells us in Revelation 17:5 that nearly EVERY
abominable movement existing today, from Communism to Nazism to
Satanism, can eventually be traced back to the secret 'mystery
society' which Nimrod and Semiramis created with the help of the
powers of darkness.  Even the Egyptian sorcerers who resisted
Jehovah's servant Moses when he was commanded to lead Israel out
of slavery, were allegedly members of this ancient and secret
'mystery' order.  Part of the teachings of this cult included the
idea that through a series of occult incantations one could 'tap-
in' to a universal 'force' and as a result become 'illuminated'
into a 'human god' possessing supernatural powers.  Even Adolph
Hitler was surrounded by men who practiced this ancient form of
witchcraft.  They were known as the 'Thule Society' and they
believed that by tapping into this 'serpent force' (as they
called it) they could create a race of supernatural god-men who
could rule the world.  Could they have in this way opened
themselves up to infernal spirits, and could this explain the
horrible atrocities carried out by the Nazi party? 
     To date (1990), the secret order of Freemasonry boasts 16
U.S. Presidents, including Ronald Reagan, 41 Federal Judges, 60
Congressmen, 14 members of the Judiciary Committee and 18
Senators.  One can only guess at the number involved within the
many governmental departments.
     Even President Bush, former head of the CIA, was initiated
into a Masonic lodge known as 'Skull & Bones' (aka. The Order)
during his years at Yale, a secret society which actually had
it's roots in Bavaria, Germany!  Bush is also reportedly a 33rd
degree Mason. 
     Now one should have no quarrel with men who decide to unite
themselves fraternally in a good philanthropical cause, as was
probably the original intention of many who joined 'the Lodge',
but when these secret orders overstep their bounds and become a
threat to our constitutional freedoms, then it is time that they
(the secret societies) be exposed and brought before the security
of the public conscience.  Not only for the sake of the public,
but also for the sake of all those who are deliberately being
deceived and used as pawns for purposes which they for the most
part would object to if only they were aware of them.
     Jim Shaw, former 33rd degree Mason and Scottish Rite Past
Master told of his own initiation into the 33rd degree.  During
his initiation he was allegedly forced to drink wine out of a
human skull!  All-in-all, the ceremony reminded him of some kind
of dark 'mass'.  Outside of the HOUSE OF THE TEMPLE where the
initiation took place, were engraven images taken from ancient
pagan worship, and within were numerous murals and carvings of
snakes and serpents.  In fact, he was shocked to see just how
common the representations of serpents were inside the Scottish
Rite headquarters, as if the cult paid some perverse type of
homage or adoration towards the creatures.  Mr. Shaw also noticed
a cross-shaped table covered with roses, a possible
representation of the masonic 'Rosicrucian' lodge, or the order
of the 'Rosy Cross'.  Aside from this there was the fact that,
according to Mr. Shaw, several prominent figures were in
attendance at his initiation.  These included a Scandinavian
king, two former U.S. presidents, an internationally prominent
'evangelist', two prominent international clergymen, and a high
Federal Government official, among others.  He stated that the
'atmosphere' of the place was like that of a tomb. 
     To be initiated into the 33rd degree, he explains, one must
be 'chosen' by the high council of Masons, and in fact
advertizing one's desire to be initiated into this degree could
disqualify one from entering it.  Mr. Shaw, also in his book THE
DEADLY DECEPTION, referred to a Masonic convention he attended. 
While there he heard a Methodist minister who was also a high-
ranking Mason speak before the congregation.  He stated that
Masonry, according to what he had learned, was very likely a
movement which had it's roots in ancient Babylon, and could be
traced back to NIMROD himself and also the Tower of BABEL which
he built. (Note: This 'tower' had the occult motivation behind it
of Nimrod's desire to use mason-builders to conquer heaven by
building a tower which could supposedly reach there.  In the same
way, modern 'Masons' attempt to do the same thing through the
'Grand Architect of the Universe' or G.A.O.T.U. which they
consider the sum total of all Masons to be.  It is actually a
COUNTERFEIT of the TRUE building of God of Judeo-Christian
belief, which states that all true Christians are 'living stones'
in the building of the 'New Jerusalem', at the center or heart of
which is Christ Himself)
     So then, the above is a summary of what the 33rd degree of
Masonry is, where it originated, and where it intends to take the
world.
