Ep. 79 Poor Sons of The Desert

This week, we continue our dive on Freemasonry by looking at the advanced order of the Mystic Shrine.  And you thought these guys just wore funny hats and drove small cars around at the circus. Well, this ain't your grandpa's Shrine! Actually, it may just be.   Interesting Facts- Shriners Ancient Arabic Order Of Nobles of The Mystic Shrine A.A.O.N.M.S. Initials in a different order spells, "A Mason".  There are 191 Shrine Temples 1+9+1 = 11. Crowley said 11 is the number of magick, & you can do your own thinking about the September 11th connection. The first Shriner Temple organized in Sept., 1872, was named "Mecca", the "holy" city of the Muslim religion and birthplace of Muhammad. Mecca is the very center of the Islamic faith. Everyday, Muslims around the world, face towards Mecca, and bow down to pray to their idol. Each Temple or Shrine, has a "Potentate" and a "High Priest and Prophet". Shriners are sometimes referred to as thirty-second and a half degree Masons. Scarlet, & The Beast   Presidents Harry Truman, & Gerald Ford were both Shriners, & Jesters, Fl Congressman Gus Billirackus, TN, Representative Jimmy Duncan was as well.   Shriner Philanthropy http://masonbusters.com/ Shriners are well known for their "Shriner Circus" where they claim to raise money for their burn hospitals. In June, 1986, a daily newspaper in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported that less than 2% of the circus money raised actually went to the hospitals and that, by 1982, the Shriners had become the richest charity in America, amassing $1.2 billion in assets. Of the $17.5 million raised in 1984, $17.3 million went into their own pockets while only $182,051 went to support the hospitals. The Shriner hospitals are a "front" appealing to compassionate hearts in order to accumulate great wealth for the Shriners themselves.   The Oath of a Shriner https://masonbusters.webs.com/shrinersoathisislamic.htm High Priest and Prophet, taking up the bowl: Most Noble Council of the Inquisition, now, in testimony of the justice of our cause, let us in this maiden's blood, seal the alliance of our bond of secrecy and silence, and let this day's bloody work in the deepest recesses of every Noble's heart be buried. http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/History_of_the_Shrine.htm   Oath- From the Shrine A.A.O.N.M.S. Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine In willful violation whereof I may incur the fearful penalty of having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a three-edged blade, my feet flayed and I be forced to walk the hot sands upon the sterile shores of the Red Sea, until the flaming sun shall strike me with livid plague, and my Allah the God of Arab, Muslim and Mohammedan, the God of our fathers support me to the entire fulfillment of the same, Amen, Amen, Amen. 13. Kissing the Black Stone When Ishmael and his father, Abraham, built the National Shrine near the place where the Tabernacle made of Clouds stood an angel presented them with a dazzling White Stone, which they inserted in the wall of the Temple, and each year the worshipers would journey to Mecca to kiss this Stone. Today so many have kissed the Stone that it has become black, and is known as the Kaaba Stone or Black Stone of Casper. Our Ritual stipulates that you, in token of your sincerity, seal your obligations by kissing the Black Stone of Casper. No doubt many times you have stated that you would not “Kiss” anybody’s “Hind Parts” to gain a favor. Well, it seems that you wanted to be a Shriner so bad that you were willing to kiss “The Black Stone of Casper.” “Shame on you.”     Outline of Moslem Tests For Mystic Shrine
