          In continuing reading, I just realized the term “liberal” came out of the 18th century European Free Masons of France and German lodges.
          No. I’m not jumping on the whole “Freemason/Illuminati rule the world” bandwagon.

          Prior to some time in the 1900’s, history books going back to Herodotus were written as though the author was sitting with you and speaking to/or with you. Sometime the author will break into some anecdote in the middle of a paragraph to tell you about a dinner they just had and the table gossip, or how a contemporary of theirs is an idiot who is also writing a history book full of nonsense myths. It’s actually very humorous slogging through some description of events or places to then read several pages on how the author is the only one to have actually gone to such a place and counted the number of something with his own eyes, unlike five other people that are lucky enough to be able to feed themselves let alone count above three correctly.

          As an example, I digress. The author, a Scotsman, explains that he was involved with the Free masons when he was younger and reached a high level in the club. He describes the group in Great Britain as being more of a social club for younger men, and once you get older, you have better things to do with your time and money. At some point he goes over to the mainland and uses his membership for free dinners around Europe. What he sees in the clubs is very different from Great Britain (the organization in Europe, came from GB to France).
          He goes back home perplexed, but not enough to investigate much. He gets a box of papers from another high ranking member he met while in Europe asking him to hold on to it for him. He does this until he sees the guy on the street sometime later, but after that he can’t locate the guy or anyone to pass the box to. He opens it to find papers of the European clubs and now many of the bizarre differences are making sense to him.

          Then according to the author he spends the decades researching and writes his book, adding since all the extra European added stuff is crap anyway, he doesn’t see a need to keep it secret.

          I’d quote some, but the blocks of text are too large and numerous. What I find most remarkable is even though he doesn’t have a name for the movement, he describes the tenants of socialism perfectly. He goes into detail why it appeals so much to young people and even what it would take to reverse it’s influence in civilized society (but notes it’s the least likely thing to happen).

          To sum up, people used the EU freemasons to try and create a new religion and/or a new world order. The GB freemasons (and in turn the ones in the original colonies) were mostly clueless at the time of the French revolution. George Washington’s response letter to reviewing the book indicated that he felt the organization in the colonies was ok, but he did not dispute that there were people within it up to no good.

            That is very neat.

            Amazing isn’t it how critically many people used to be able to think and how well they used to be able to articulate themselves and communicate? Today most people could not even begin to tell you what socialism is nor could they communicate it even if they did have a concept of what it is.

            On a side note when I went back to school, other than myself I don’t think anyone knew who Karl Marx was when the good professor asked us about him.

            The mopey Sociology teacher made the mistake of talking about Marx and then asked the class what Marx would think of Scott Walker, (This was in the heat of the Prop 10 War), I smiled and said that I thought that Marx would be really pleased that Prop 10 would give teachers options for health insurance and the monopoly WEAIC had on them would be broken being that Marx wanted people to be free of domination 🙂 .

            The professor also told his class that we didn’t know if communism would work because it had never been “legitimately” tried 🙄

            I gave Geoffery a lot of bad days 🙂

            By the way I ate two pierogies while typing this 😀

    Good morning everybody! We’re on the downwards slope to 2016. I hope it’s better than 2015 has been, but I have no reason to believe that it will be. Praying, reading, observing, and speaking up – all are activities that we can do to help. May God give me the wit and will to do my best.

    New York Times Panics at Republican Billionaire Sheldon Adelson Buying the Las Vegas Paper

    http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2015/12/30/new-york-times-panics-republican-billionaire-sheldon-adelson-buying

    The New York Times is transparently panicking about republican-backing billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s secretive purchase of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. In a Monday article by Barry Meier and Sydney Ember, they strongly imply that it’s okay when billionaires buy newspapers, as long as they don’t tilt the political playing field to the right:

    “Billionaires buying newspapers is nothing new. In recent years, Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, acquired The Washington Post and John Henry, a former commodities trader, purchased The Boston Globe. Media watchdogs routinely question whether new owners will use papers to advance their personal agendas, but both of those transactions have been beneficial for the publications.

    However, across Las Vegas — and inside the Review-Journal newsroom — there are heightened concerns about the paper’s direction.”

      There was something about this the other day on teh FB. Supposedly Adelson tried to pull some reporters off a story or something. Too bad, so sad. I sure did like things a lot more when we didn’t know we were getting “nudged” by the fishwrappers and folks like Uncle Walter. Not. 😉
