of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses... This little coterie...run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...seizes...our executive officers...legislative bodies...schools...
courts...newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.”
N.Y. Mayor, John Hylan
The 33rd Degree for Freemasons is the level where a Mason becomes a Shriner in the Scottish Rite.
In the York Rite, the Shriner Degree comes after the Thirteenth Degree, also known as the Knights of Templar Degree.
As we'll see, Freemasonry incorporates a philosophy that's based on eastern mysticism.
For starters, take a look at the full name for the Masonic Shrine - "Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine".
The public view of the 33rd Degree for Freemasons, or Shriners, is actually quite comical. They're the old guys in parades with the tasseled, red "fezzes" in little go-carts. They show up at football games and horse shows for fundraising. They've even been made light of in the Austin Powers' movie, "The Spy That Shagged Me".
They also have children's hospitals and burn centers for children. Many U.S. presidents have been Shriners, such as Franklin Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, and Harry Truman.
In New World Order: The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies, William T. Still reports on the 1984 income statistics for the Shrine charities. Its assets were just under $2 billion as opposed to $1.07 billion and $446.8 million for the American Red Cross (ARC) and the American Cancer Society (ACS), respectively. However, the expenditure stats are telling: the ARC spent 84% of its 1984 income on program services, the ACS spent 67.2%, the American Heart Assoc. 70.6%, and the National Easter Seals 73%.
Now, how about the Shriners? Try 29.8%! Of the top fourteen charities that year, none gave less than 57% of income to program services. Wow, those Shriners, the 33rd degree for Freemasons, sure are charitable, aren't they?
The charitable aspect of the Shrine is a falsehood. More from Still's book:
Freemasons would love to have you believe that the 33rd Degree for Freemasons level and rituals have nothing to do with eastern mysticism.
However, when you go to Washington, D.C., you'll stare in amazement at the female "Statue of Freedom" on top of the Capitol. Why? Because its back is to the country it supposedly represents. In which direction does this "freedom" figure face? The East.
How did this eastern philosophy find its way into the 33rd degree for Freemasons? William J. Florence, a Freemason, is credited with starting things off when an Arabian diplomat helped him into an eastern secret society. There have been accounts that Florence simply made up all the rituals for the Shrine, but the truth is the origin of the rituals comes from Middle Eastern Freemasonry.
Florence worked with Walter M. Fleming (NY doctor & Mason), Charles T. McClenachan, William Sleigh Paterson, and Albert L. Rawson (a Mason with further Arabic knowledge).
In his book, Still, expands for us on the eastern aspect of the Shrine, the 33rd Degree for Freemasons:
As you investigate Freemasonry and its European and eastern influences, it becomes clear that there's a secret, powerful cabal working to undermine religion and government in order to bring about a One World Government dictatorship. The true alliances of our presidents and other public officials becomes very clear when you realize how many of them are Shriners!
The elite have become rich by stealing the wealth (labor) of the masses. We've found a way to stop the funding they receive from America's debt and so our first step is to hit these elite "banksters" in the pocketbook.
We can help you eliminate your debt. By doing this, you're helping to free yourself financially while reducing the amount of money available to the corrupt 33rd Degree for Freemasons, the Shriners. For every dollar of debt you legally eliminate through us, you're cutting $33 out of the bankers' pockets because of their fractional reserve banking scam.
By allowing us to help you get free of debt, you're in turn helping us continue our cause to help other Americans wake up to the realities of the 33rd Degree for Freemasons, which is obsessed with establishing the New World Order.
