#1 The first American settlers also brought with them the power structure that had shaped their society back across the Atlantic, though this time they did their best to hide it from the rest of the inhabitants of their newest franchise.

#2 America was formed as a colony of the British Empire, which brought with it the organized formation of Freemasonry. Many of America’s founding fathers were Masons.

#3 The Order of the Eastern Star uses a star similar to the one used by the Freemasons, but with a pentagon in the center and five lines of equal length, creating five isosceles triangles connected to the center. The Masons see this as a visual representation of the mathematical concept of the Golden Ratio.

#4 The Statue of Liberty, created by French engineer Gustave Eiffel and sculptor Bartholdi, is the most recognizable symbol of the United States. It was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of the United States in 1884.

#1

The first American settlers also brought with them the power structure that had shaped their society back across the Atlantic, though this time they did their best to hide it from the rest of the inhabitants of their newest franchise.

#2

America was formed as a colony of the British Empire, which brought with it the organized formation of Freemasonry. Many of America’s founding fathers were Masons.

#3

The Order of the Eastern Star uses a star similar to the one used by the Freemasons, but with a pentagon in the center and five lines of equal length, creating five isosceles triangles connected to the center. The Masons see this as a visual representation of the mathematical concept of the Golden Ratio.

#4

The Statue of Liberty, created by French engineer Gustave Eiffel and sculptor Bartholdi, is the most recognizable symbol of the United States. It was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of the United States in 1884.

#5

There are 36 lodges of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Washington. The Founding Fathers were all Masons, like James Hoban, Benjamin Latrobe, and Robert Mills.

The first $100 is created by the Federal Reserve and lent to ACME Bank at 6 percent interest for a year, after which the Fed must return $106. Where does the extra $6 come from if there is only $100 in the system. The answer is that it does not exist, so the Fed must create it. This is known as the fiat currency system, and it is designed to force the central bank to constantly create more money in order for it to work.

#11

Central banks only lend money to governments and retail banks, not to individuals. The Federal Reserve was founded in 1913, the same year the IRS was created, to collect revenue through government taxation.

#12

The American government treats its citizens like cows that they may milk at random, whenever they choose, for as long as they want. When they can no longer extract the milk they desire, they turn their cows into hamburger meat and move on to the next cow.

The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a
