"King Solomon's plans for the consolidation of his people were not yet complete; by the building of his temple he had formed an outer centre of national worship, and he now desired that the Mysteries, the heart of his people's religion and the centre of their spiritual consciousness, should also be purely Jewish in their form.

The ceremonial handed down from the days of Moses was still Egyptian, and the initiates of the mysteries were yet symbolically engaged in building the great pyramid, the House of Light, and in celebrating the death and resurrection of Osiris...

The Jewish Mysteries are the source of our present tradi-tion, for the three Craft degrees are, and always have been, the basis of the whole system of Masonic initiation, since they enshrine the relics of the Lesser and Greater Mysteries of Egypt,"

-- Charles Leadbeater, "Glimpses of Masonic History"

"The first thing that surprises the new disciple of a [Masonic] lodge is the Jewish character of everything which he finds there. From the first to the thirtieth degree he hears only talk of the 'great work' of rebuilding the temple of Solomon; of the murdering of the architect Hiram Abiff; of the two pillars Boaz and Jachin; of a host of secret symbols (signs) and Hebrew holy words; and of the Jewish calendar, which adds 4000 years to our own [Anno Lucis]..."

-- Msgr. Leon Meurin, "Philosophy of Freemasonry"

Indeed, the Plan for the "consolidation of the people" is not yet complete; but it is proceeding rapidly.

"THE FBI has been accused of covering up a key case file detailing evidence against corrupt government officials and their dealings with a network stealing nuclear secrets. The assertion follows allegations made in The Sunday Times two weeks ago by Sibel Edmonds, an FBI whistleblower, who worked on the agency's investigation of the network.

Edmonds, a 37-year-old former Turkish language translator, listened into hundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations while based at the agency's Washington field office. She says the FBI was investigating a Turkish and Israeli-run network that paid high-ranking American officials to steal nuclear weapons secrets. These were then sold on the international black market to countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia." -- London Times

"The former Russian spy poisoned in a London hotel was an MI6 agent, the Daily Mail can reveal. Alexander Litvinenko was receiving a retainer of around £2,000 a month from the British security services at the time he was murdered."

"The 40 story Deutsche Bank building, next to the ground zero site in New York where the World Trade Center once stood, caught fire yesterday [Aug 18] and burned intensely for seven hours without collapsing."

-- Prison Planet

How is it that the nearby Salomon Brothers building also known as "WTC 7", a massive 47-story structure built by Silverstein Properties in the 1980s, simply collapsed into a small pile of rubble on 2001-09-11 reputedly because of a couple of limited fires, while the more heavily damaged and now severely burned Deutsche Bank building (formerly Banker's Trust) still stands?

A recent Zogby poll shows that 2/3 of Americans surveyed wonder why the 9/11 Commission chaired by Philip Zelikow failed to investigate the collapse of WTC 7.

The WTC towers that collapsed so dramatically on 9/11 had been leased only weeks before from the Port Authority of New York by Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties, which promptly collected a cool $5 billion dollars in insurance money from companies associated with AIG and its chairman Hank Greenberg, vice-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Immediately following the disaster, Lewis Eisenberg, chairman of the Port Authority who approved the 99-year lease with Silverstein, was appointed to head the Redevelopment Authority which is now tearing down the Deutsche Bank building and working with Silverstein on construction of the Orwellian "Freedom Tower". Eisenberg, former partner at Goldman Sachs and a director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, was chairman of the 2004 Republican national convention in NYC and a major Bush fundraiser.

(Jachin and Boaz return to the dust and the temple of Salomon and his Brothers is brought down. The Trust of the Bankers is shaken but still standing, and soon the Patriarchs set forth to wreak vengeance upon Babylon. Osiris rises from the ashes while Isis stands watch over the harbor. Suddenly the Trust goes up in flames and many on the Street and in the City are burned... )

Immediately after the I-35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis:

"Federal safety investigators said they planned to recover the components of the bridge and reassemble major parts of it to determine the cause. Mark Rosenker, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the investigation may take a year or more. The reassembly can help the probe, not unlike the way aviation disasters are treated. "This will be a complex investigation... The first thing we must do is recover the pieces."

Was this really a "freak disaster" or just the predictable result of neglecting the nation's infrastructure for the past 20 years, wasting taxpayer money on foreign wars and other boondoggles instead? How many other obsolete bridges are there along the new NASCO Corridor for overweight Mexican trucks hauling Chinese shipping containers?

Contrast this with the rush to get rid of the steel beams and cleanup the WTC site after the disaster of 2001-09-11 . Why was there NO such careful analysis of the three catastrophic and unprecedented "structural failures" that occurred in NYC that day, despite the fact that thousands of people were killed and billions of dollars worth of property destroyed?

"The story that Wall Street bankers planned to overthrow FDR in 1933 still makes the rounds... Clearly, the Illuminati bankers staged the "planned coup" to give FDR credibility as Wall Street's nemesis...

"They suggested that Hearst and his publications launch a sham attack on Roosevelt and at the same time pretend to support Nazism and Fascism, thus throwing the Anti-Nazis and Anti-Fascists in the Roosevelt camp... As the perverters of public opinion expected, the gullible public raged at Hearst and flocked to the standards of Roosevelt, blind to the fact that he was giving them another of the same brand of dictatorship."

-- Henry Makow article (2007-07)

It would make no sense for Wall St. to "overthrow" FDR, since he was one of them to begin with. For further reading on the "Butler Affair", see Wall St. and FDR and Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler by Antony Sutton, also Final Warning by David Rivera.

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has come out strongly against former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani: "Rudy has used the horrible events of September 11 [2001] to create a persona that is an elaborate fabrication," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "He is nothing more than a shameless self-promoter." They have produced a short video documenting his failure of leadership, his rush to "cleanup" the site, and his lies to the 911 Commission.

They stop short of saying that he was an accessory to the crime, including the destruction of evidence and the subsequent coverup.

"[The fact] that wealthy and influential supporters of G.W. Bush are now supporting Hillary Clinton only surprises those who have not been paying attention... The Bushes and Clintons go way back. They have been fast friends for decades... As you will recall, George H.W. Bush was President of the United States while William Jefferson Clinton was Governor of Arkansas. During this time, it was very common for the two families (along with G.W. Bush and Laura) to vacation together... Both have the support and do the bidding of the international elite... And mark my words, the Bushes will be working behind the scenes for a Hillary victory in 2008."

A few high-profile members of the self-styled "9/11 truth movement" have recently floated the theory that an exotic beam weapon was used to "vaporize" the WTC towers. This paper refutes that theory by showing the impossible amounts of energy that would have been required, and the collateral effects that were not observed.

This hypothetical beam weapon has produced a disruptive effect -- on the truth seekers. It has also provided the establishment media with another "strawman" to discredit serious criticism of the official story about what really happened, and why.

"Did New York Senator and possible 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attend [the June 2006] Bilderberg meeting in Ottawa Canada? Our inside sources coupled with what witnesses saw at the Brookestreet Hotel strongly suggest this to be the case."

Note that Bill Clinton is "a regular" at these elitist meetings, and that candidate John Edwards was a featured speaker at the 2004 meeting, just before he became John Kerry's running mate.
