I'm William Cooper, and you're listening to the Hour of the Time.

(opening music: [i]Stars Fell On Alabama[/i], music by Frank Perkins, lyrics by

Mitchell Parish, sung by Billie Holiday)

Oh, what a great lady! Anyone, anyone who ever, ever comes to me and tells me th
at music doesn't penetrate directly to the soul, doesn't have a soul. I mean, th
at's the only interpretation I could ever make to any statement like that made b
y anyone.
Tonight, folks, we've got to get you back into the stream. Now, the way I do tha
t is I quit telling you about my research and I quote exactly from the horse's m
outh, so you'll know that what you're hearing on this program, the Hour of the T
ime, is not being made up by me or anyone else. And it's there for anyone to fin
d if you'll just get off your butts and go to the libraries, start digging and l
ooking and searching and reading. And quit listening to what you're told, includ
ing what you're told on this show. Remember, my admonition is not to ever believ
e anything you hear from the mouth of anyone, or that you read from the book wri
tten by anyone, or from Dan Rather and the six o'clock news, or the President of
the United States, Archer Carter, Tom Valentine, Rush Limbaugh (the man who's s
itting on half of his brain) or indeed, from even your own mother. For, folks, t
he deception in this world right now that's being promulgated in order to bring
about a one-world, totalitarian, Socialist government is so deep that you better
be standing on a stump or you might drown.
Alice Bailey, folks, one of the key members of the New Age religion, wrote this:
"There€is€no€question,€therefore,€that the€work€to€be€done€in€familiarizing€the€general€pu
ysteries€is€of€paramount€importance€at€this€time. These Mysteries€will€be€restored€to€outer
gh the€medium€of€the€Church€and€the€Masonic€Fraternity. And she's absolutely, one hundred
, correct.
The question of just what the ancient mysteries were, folks, was answered in par
t by Albert G. Mackey, another 33rd degree Mason. He wrote a two-volume work, en
titled [i]Encyclopedia of Freemasonry[/i], and wrote this under the subject of t
he Ancient Mysteries: "Each of the pagan gods had (besides the public and open)
a secret worship paid [to] him, to which none were admitted but those who had be
en selected by preparatory ceremonies, called initiation. This secret worship wa
s termed the Mysteries."
The student of the Masonic order can know that, when Mr. Mackey writes, his writ
ings can be relied upon. He is considered to be one of the premiere Masonic auth
ors of all-time. These are the comments from the biographical information presen
ted on Mr. Mackey in front of his encyclopedia: "His writings are universally es
teemed for their sincerity, honest records and common sense. He was a leader in
research who valued accuracy."
Carl Claudy, another Mason who writes on the subject of the Lodge, also has word
s of praise for Mr. Mackey: "He was one of the greatest students and most widely
followed authorities the Masonic world has ever known." And in his book, entitl
ed [i]Introduction to Freemasonry[/i], he praised Mr. Mackey with these words: "
Albert Gallatin Mackey: one of the greatest students and most widely followed au
thorities the Masonic world has known...He is the great master of Freemasonry."
So, Mr. Mackey certainly can be believed when he tells his readers that the wors
hip of pagan gods had a secret, non-visible worship beside the public one. The r
eader can believe him when he identifies the name of this secret worship. He tol
d his readers, "This secret worship was termed, 'The Mysteries'."
Another who was written on the subject on the ancient Mysteries was Manly P. Hal
l, another 33rd degree Mason whom I have quoted extensively before in this serie
s. He has written in his book, entitled [i]What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of It
s Disciples[/i]: "In the remote past the gods walked with men and they chose fro
m among the sons of men the wisest and the truest. With these specially ordained
and illumined sons they left the keys of their great wisdom, which was the know
ledge of good and evil...These illumined ones founded what we know as the Ancien
t Mysteries."
Now, in case you weren't listening there, this is a dead giveaway and an admissi
on that the gods that walked with men were known (at least in the Bible) as Sata
n. For he says here -- and I'm going to read this again for you, folks, because
I know some of you just didn't pick it up, because I know the minds of the sheep
le operate. And there's a lot of sheeple listening. There's also a lot of people
listening who aren't sheeple, and they know that I'm not talking to them. If th
e word 'sheeple' apply to you makes you angry [sic], then folks, it is an indica
tion that it fits you like a shoe, like a glove, that you are indeed one of the
sheeple. Let me read it again: "With these specially ordained and illumined sons
they left the keys of their great wisdom, which was the knowledge of good and e
vil." According to the Bible, the knowledge of good and evil was imparted to Ada
m when Satan enticed Eve to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge and sh
e, in turn, enticed Adam. And what was the fruit of the tree of knowledge? It wa
s the knowledge of good and evil. It was forbidden for man to know that.
Now, I'm not making judgment on any of this, I'm just telling you what my resear
ch says. Remember, this is not a religious program. And while I, myself, persona
lly, have my own idea of what my own religion is, I am in no means trying to foi
st it off on anyone else. Let me continue. He wrote -- and we're talking about M
anly P. Hall, 33rd degree Freemason -- he wrote additional comments about these
Mysteries in another of the books he was written, called [i]The Secret Teachings
of All Ages[/i]. And I would urge you, if you can afford it, to buy that book.
It's a very expensive book. I have a copy of it in my library. It cost me one hu
ndred and fifty dollars, and it was worth every single penny of it, I can assure
you. "The arcana [William Cooper: defined as being a secret or hidden knowledge
] of the ancient Mysteries were never revealed to the profane [William Cooper: d
efined as those not initiated into the inner Mysteries] except through the media
of symbols." You're going to find, folks, that symbols mean more than you will
[i]ever[/i] begin to understand, unless you waded deep into the end of the strea
m that is Mystery Babylon, as I have.
"Symbolism fulfilled the dual office of concealing the sacred truths from the un
initiated and revealing to those qualified to understand the symbols." Mr. Hall
dedicated the latter book to "the proposition that, concealed within the emblema
tic figures, allegories and rituals of the ancients is a secret doctrine concern
ing the inner Mysteries of life, which doctrine has been preserved in toto [whic
h means, 'in the whole'] among a small band of initiated minds since the [very]
beginning of the world."
He went on to mention that the Mysteries "were secret societies, binding their i
nitiates to inviolable secrecy, and avenging with death the betrayal of their sa
cred trusts." And to this day they take blood oaths. Mr. Hall told the reader th
at no one is to know the identity of those who have received the secrets. In fac
t, he wrote: "The true Adept and initiate shall reveal his identity to no man un
less that one is worthy to receive it." He further explained where some of these
initiates lived when he wrote: "No reasonable doubt can exist that the initiate
s of Greece, Egypt, and other ancient countries possessed the correct solutions
to those great cultural, intellectual, moral and social problems which, in an un
solved state, confront the humanity of the 20th century."
He further amplified that thought he had with this: "Neo-Platonism [defined by M
r. Hall as a school founded by Plotinus around 240 A.D. concerning itself with t
he problems of metaphysics which he calls 'the study of knowledge'] recognized t
he existence of a secret and all-important doctrine which from the time of the e
arliest civilizations had been concealed within the rituals, symbols, and allego
ries of religions and philosophies."
So, in summary, it is possible, folks, to understand what these ancient Mysterie
s were. And there appears to be at least four truths gleaned from the informatio
n provided in the comments made previously and these truths appears to be:
1. The ancient Mysteries had two forms of worshiping the same god.
2. The knowledge of the true god was reserved for those who had been entrusted w
ith the secrets, and not for those whom they call the 'profane'.
3. Those who understood those secrets were sworn to the strictest secrecy, and
4. Those who have knowledge of the secrets claimed to possess all of the answers
to all of the problems of mankind.
Now, there was an additional secret for the secret-bearers. They had to be initi
ated in a private initiation ceremony. Albert Pike, General Albert Pike, a south
ern Confederate General during the Civil War, wrote this: "Initiation was consid
ered to be a mystical death, and the perfect [i]Epopt[/i] was [then] said to be
[i]regenerated, new-born[/i], restored to a [i]renovated[/i] existence of [i]lif
e, light[/i], and [i]purity[/i]."
In fact, folks, this "new-born" experience is similar to the experience the "bor
n-again" Christians go through. The Christians call their experience a second-bi
rth, just as the Masons do. In fact, Albert Pike calls a similar ceremony a "bor
n-again" experience, and he wrote this: "In the Indian Mysteries, the third degr
ee, the Initiate is said to be born-again."
The ceremony in the ancient Mysteries has been described by the Masonic writer M
anly P. Hall: "In the ancient system of initiation, the truth seeker must pass t
hrough a second birth, and those who attained this exalted state were known ther
eafter as 'the twice born'. This new birth must be personally earned through a c
omplete regeneration of character and conduct." This new-birth ceremony involves
a symbolic death according to the Mason Kenneth MacKenzie. And he wrote this: "
In the ancient Mysteries, the aspirant could not participate in the highest secr
ets until he had been placed in the coffin. In this, he was symbolically said to
die and his resurrection was to the light."
Now, remember I told you about the initiation that George Bush underwent in the
crypt, also known as the tomb, the Skull and Bones, the Brotherhood of Death at
Yale University? This is what they're talking about. During a press conference,
a reporter asked George Bush if he was a Christian and he replied thusly: "If yo
u're asking if I have been born-again, the answer is yes." And indeed, he has.
Modern-day Masons participate in an almost similar ceremony to the one described
by these Masonic writers. In the third degree called the Master Mason degree, i
nside the blue lodge the candidate is actually knocked off of his feet by severa
l of the Masons in attendance. He is wrapped up in a blanket and moved to the we
stern end of the temple. There, after further ceremony, he is raised up by a gri
p called "the Master's Grip" or the "Grip of the Lion's Paw". Those who learned
the Mysteries also learned that they had a secret project, one that was describe
d by Albert Pike in his book, entitled [i]Morals and Dogma[/i]. Mr. Pike wrote t
his, "Behold [our] object, the end, the result of the great speculations...of an
tiquity; the ultimate annihilation of evil, and restoration of Man to his first
estate, by a Redeemer, a Masayah, a Christos, the incarnate Word, Reason, or Pow
er of Deity." I urge you all, if you could find a copy of [i]Morals and Dogma[/i
] by Albert Pike, to purchase it, take it home and read it.
Mr. Hall told his readers that those who had been initiated into the Mysteries w
ere the secret power behind the governments of the past. He wrote this about the
se ancient initiates in his book, entitled [i]What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of
Its Disciples[/i]: "They are the invisible powers behind the thrones of earth,
and men are but marionettes, dancing while the invisible ones pull the strings.
We see the dancer, but the master mind that does the work remains concealed by t
he cloak of silence.
Now remember, I told you, folks, that if you don't open your mind, and if you do
n't quit believing dogma, if you don't quit believing what people tell you, if y
ou don't stop believing what Dan Rather tells you on the six o'clock news, or yo
ur local minister down at your church, or your mother or the President of the Un
ited States, and if you don't start digging to find the truth yourself, you, you
, the sheeple, are the marionettes, dancing while the invisible ones pull the st
rings. And until you change that pattern of your life, you will always be the pu
ppet on the end of someone else's string. And I know that that's not what you wa
nt to be, is it? Well, if it's not, change your life now. Stop believing what yo
u are told, including what you hear on this show unless it checks out in your ow
n research, your own experience, your own digging. Each of us must find our own
truth, and if we are really looking and digging, we're ultimately going to come
to something near the same truth for all of us. And I can tell you now that most
of us have been living in fantasyland for all of our lives. We don't even know
anything near what the truth of any matter is. And we must begin an honest searc
h, starting from the beginning, wiping the slate clean, cleansing our mind, and
looking at the world, beginning again as though through the eyes of a new-born c
hild. And you will find that most of what you ever been taught in your entire li
fe is a lie...is a lie.
Other writers, folks, have confirmed the thoughts of Mr. Hall. A Masonic scholar
named George Steinmetz also acknowledged that these Mysteries exist, and that s
ome of the members inside the Masonic lodges are custodians of the secrets. He h
as written this in his book, entitled [i]Freemasonry: Its Hidden Meaning[/i]: "A
ncient secret doctrine, which is concealed in Masonic allegory and symbolism...i
t was but to preserve these truths for future generation that Masonry itself was
perpetuated." And if that is true, why is it a secret? Why not tell us all what
this secret doctrine is, for modern man is not like ancient man when he didn't
know how to read or reason or understand? Modern man has the capability to under
stand anything that is put before him and accept it if it is the truth, and reje
ct it if it is a lie.
So why the secrecy? The secrecy is because, folks, the [i]real secret[/i] of Mys
tery Babylon is how to control everyone else. And if they reveal these secrets,
they won't have the control, for it will be in the hands of everyone. That is th
e greatest secret of the secret societies. Another writing of Manly P. Hall was
this: "Much of the ritualism of Freemasonry is based upon the trials to which ca
ndidates were subjected to by the ancient hierophants [William Cooper: 'hieropha
nt' is defined as the high priest of the Mysteries] before the keys of wisdom we
re [enthroned] to them."
The ancient Mysteries had a beginning. According to Mr. Mackey, he wrote about w
here they started: "The first of which are those of Isis and Osiris in Egypt, th
e most important of these Mysteries were the Osiric in Egypt." Another writer, E
dmond Ronayne, an ex-Mason, confirmed that the Masons were involved in the worsh
ip of Osiris when he wrote this in his book, entitled [i]The Master's Carpet[/i]
: "Masonry's ceremonies, symbols and the celebrated legend of Hiram in the Maste
r Mason's degree, were directly borrowed from the 'Ancient Mysteries,' or the se
cret worship of Baal, Osiris or Tammuz." This is a direct admission that Freemas
onry stems directly out of Mystery Babylon, the ancient Mystery Religion, the wo
rship of Baal, the golden calf representative of the house during which that two
thousand-year period the Sun resided. The Sun, the symbol of the Light, Lucifer
, the intellect, the gift, primordial knowing.
Albert Pike then detailed where the Mysteries went after their beginnings in Egy
pt. He wrote this in [i]Morals and Dogma[/i]: "From Egypt, the Mysteries went to
Phoenicia, and were celebrated at Tyre. Osiris changed his name, and become Ado
ni or Dionusos, still the representative of the Sun... In Greece and Sicily, Osi
ris took the name of Bacchus." So the ancient Mysteries concealed an important M
ystery, kept secret from the average person. The mystics claim that this Mystery
has been concealed from the world for centuries. Even though they had taken the
Mystery to other continents, those who believed in this religion were yet to ta
ke it to America. That was yet to come, and we will get to that, I promise you.
And it will, I also promise you, amaze you.
[Gilbert] Lafayette, who was a very famous and noted pirate and a member of Free
masonry and the Knights Templar, said this: "An invisible hand is guiding the po
pulace." Arthur Edward Waite, a prolific writer on secret societies has written
this: "Beneath the broad tide of human history, there flow the stealthy undercur
rents of the secret societies, which frequently determine in the depths the chan
ges that take place upon the surface." Another who wrote about the power just un
derneath the surface was President Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United S
tates of America, who made this startling statement. He made this statement, yet
it was ignored, but it should never go ignored from this point forward. "There
is a power so organized, so subtle, so complete, so pervasive, that they had bet
ter not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." So, the
se two writers have warned America that secret societies had been arranging the
major events of the past, and President Wilson warned those who were quick to co
ndemn these organizations that they had better be cautious.
Albert Pike had also connected the secret societies with a secret belief in his
book, entitled [i]Morals and Dogma[/i]. He wrote that all secret orders and asso
ciations, quote--now remember, he said, all...all secret orders and associations
"had two doctrines, one concealed and reserved for the masters, the other, publ
ic." Now, one such secret society with two doctrines was the Illuminati, and Pro
fessor [Adam] Weishaupt, its founder, boasted of his organization's secrecy. He
realized that this secrecy would enable them to decide the fate of nations, and
because their deliberations were secret, no outsider could interfere. He wrote t
his: "The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appe
ar...in its own name, but always [covered] by another name, and another occupati
on." Weishaupt later wrote about that secrecy in a letter to a fellow member of
the Illuminati, "Nothing can bring this about but hidden societies. Hidden schoo
ls of wisdom are the means which will one day free men from their bonds...Prince
s and nations shall vanish from the earth."
Folks, don't go away. We've got to stop for a break. I'll be right back after th
is very short pause.

Don't forget, folks, this Monday night, March 15th, 8pm to 11, I'll be at the La
fayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Blvd in San Diego, California. That's this coming M
onday night, March 15th at 8pm 'til 11. I'll be at the Lafayette Hotel at 2223 E
l Cajon Blvd in San Diego, California. I'll be giving a three-hour presentation,
entitled [i]The Sacrificed King[/i]. This is on the Kennedy assassination and I
'm going to footage there that you've never seen before. I'm going to show you t
he direct, I mean direct, absolute occult connection to the Kennedy assassinatio
n, I'm going to tell what group killed our president, murdered our president if
you will. I'm going to show you the footage of what Dealey Plaza really is so yo
u'll see that this is not just an innocent park in the city of Dallas. I'm going
to show you where Dallas really is, and what the occult significance of its loc
ation means. And when you leave there, folks, you're going to understand more ab
out the workings of the world, and who assassinated our president and why then y
ou'll ever have before. You're also going to see that, uh, Oliver Stone knew all
of this and chose to deceive the American people, because he is one of those wh
o are bringing about the New World Order. And his movie, [i]JFK[/i], was designe
d to convince all of us that our government doesn't work. The Constitutional gov
ernment can't work, that it's turned against us, and it's not true, folks. Our C
onstitutionally instituted and established government had absolutely nothing to
do with the Kennedy assassination, as all of those who show up on Monday night,
March 15th, 8pm will find out.
[William Cooper further plugs the appearance and offers CAJI memberships]
Well, folks, you've heard all through this series of broadcasts about a group of
men supposedly with the only truly mature minds in this world, who are going to
setup a Utopia on earth, a heaven of earth if you will. And that there's the on
es who are going to rule through a benevolent despotism. And they call this Utop
ia the Great Society, the New World Order, the Utopian philosophy, all of these
things. Now, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was a member of this secret
society. He was, in fact, a 33rd degree Freemason, and his Great Society that he
envisioned was exactly what we're talking about here. And you can see that John
son, a great Socialist, a Marxist secretly, set us on the road to Socialism by s
etting up this great welfare state, which he called the Great Society. It's one
and the same, folks. It's the same. George Bush's New World Order is the same. T
he New World Order that our forefathers envisioned was the same. The Great Socie
ty talked about during the Peasants' Revolt in England was the same. The same th
at is coming, unless we wake up to stop it. And you can see, by the welfare stat
e, how well it really works. (laughs) It doesn't work at all, it never will work
, it can't work! These people are Looney Tunes.
If you believe the exoteric version of what they intend to bring about -- you se
e, they have no intention of bring about a Utopia, a heaven on earth, a Great So
ciety, not at all. That's to lure the unwary, the foolish, the great mass of fol
lowers that make up the lower degrees of this secret society so that they will s
upport the completion of the Great Work, the plan. They really intend us to be s
omething along the lines of what Hitler attempted to establish. They talk about
in terms of a great cleansing, where certain religions, certain people, certain
races, will literally be eliminated from this earth. And they are convicted thro
ugh their own words, ladies and gentlemen, as you hearing tonight and you've hea
rd in other broadcasts. For when I feel that you are getting to the point where
you're not understanding what's happening, I go back as I'm doing tonight and qu
ote these people directly from their own mouths. I'm going to do that again tomo
rrow night, folks, so be ready.
Let me continue. The secret societies were created to bring the world to the new
society known as the New World Order. The members of these organizations obviou
sly feel that their goals are so noble that they may perform whatever tasks are
required to bring them to that goal, and that goal to fruition. This means, folk
s, that murder, plunder and lying all become acceptable as long as these methods
assist its members in obtaining their goal.
But the Freemasons, or [i]free-maçon[/i], as the true term began, want to world to
know that they are not one of the societies involved in changing the world's ci
vilization, and they're quick to rush to their own defense. However, when you go
back and read their own history and their own words, you can see that they have
literally no defense, for they are convicted by the words of their leaders. By
the words of their leaders. And folks, by their deeds. For it was General Albert
Pike who created, through the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan. It was the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry that created the branch kn
own as B'nai B'rith, which then created the ADL, or the Anti-Defamation League,
which is nothing but an organization of criminals who have murdered, who have bo
mbed, who have lied, and just recently, one of their crimes was spying. Putting
spies within police organizations in the United States of America, and spiriting
out files and records. And all of Jews in the United States support this crimin
al organization to their great shame, and those of you who feel that the Jews ar
e responsible for all of this, you are wrong. Most Jews don't know any more abou
t this then you did, and they are being used, just as you are being used. Just a
s I have been used in my life.
"In all time, truth has been hidden under symbols," wrote Albert Pike. And he al
so wrote this, "[Symbols] are nevertheless, ingenious veils that cover the Truth
." Now, Albert Pike was the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdicti
on of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite now controls world Fre
emasonry. There certainly seems, folks, to be a power in knowing something that
you can't tell your family, friends, children, or business acquaintances. And Ad
am Weishaupt said it best with this selection from his writings: "Of all the mea
ns I know to lead men, the most effectual is a concealed mystery." And that is t
rue, I've found in my research, that the vast fools, the followers flock to the
Mysteries and the promise of learning some secret during their climb up the ladd
er of degrees of initiation. The truth is that only a very few ever learn anythi
ng, and what they learn is how to control the rest.
The power of hidden symbols was alluded to by another writer, this time Foster B
ailey in his book, entitled [i]The Spirit of Freemasonry[/i]: "A symbol veils or
hides a secret, and it is that which veils certain mysterious forces. These ene
rgies when released can have a potent effect." And indeed they can, as we are al
l feeling now the [pinch?] of the power.
There are many who can attest to that simple truth. Organizations with concealed
or secret initiation ceremonies abound in America and, indeed, around the world
. College fraternities and sororities teach the college student to accept secret
initiation ceremonies and hidden knowledge at a young age. The Masons, intended
for adult males, have similar organizations for their young sons and daughters,
and other secret organizations for their wives. And all of these organizations
tend to prepare their male members for further service in the master secret orga
nization, the Masons. However, the Masons are quick to point out that they conce
al their truths from the general public. Manly P. Hall, for instance, wrote this
: "It is for the Adepts," and 'adept' is defined by the dictionary as one who is
an expert, but there is an esoteric definition that shall be discussed later. "
It is for the Adepts, one to understand the meaning of the symbols." He further
instructed his readers that understanding the symbols can make one wise "and und
erstanding these symbols is the beginning of wisdom."
Max Toth, a writer about the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, also wrote about th
e purpose of symbols, and he said, "The knowledge of the ancient mysteries was n
ever revealed to the laymen except through the media of symbols. Symbolism fulfi
lled both the need to conceal sacred truths from the uninitiated and to offer a
language for those qualified to understand it." Now, whatever these secrets are,
folks, one writer on the subject feels it's time to make them public. Alice Bai
ley, one of the key writers supporting the New Age movement, wrote this: "The ho
ur for the ancient mysteries has arrived. These Ancient Mysteries were hidden in
numbers, in ritual, in words, and in symbology; these veil the secret."
Another writer who writes of the order, Carl H. Claudy, told anyone who read the
Masonic literature that he had best understand the language or they would miss
the true meaning of the words. He wrote, "He who hears but the words of Freemaso
nry misses their meaning entirely."
Rex Hutchins, a 32rd degree Mason who has written a book for the Masons, one so
important that it was used to replace one written by Henry Clausen, a former Sov
ereign Commander, also informed his readers that his writings also concealed a s
ecret. "The word 'reveal' means to re-veil, that is, to give one explanation and
yet to continue to maintain the mystery of the symbol by not explaining it in a
full and complete manner."
So, the language code must be broken if one is to learn the truth about the Maso
nic order. The reason that is so is because the Masons have admitted that they h
ave concealed the true meaning of some of their language. However, it is possibl
e, folks, to know the true meanings of at least some of the hidden language, and
the listener can be certain that the discovered interpretations are correct, be
cause the Masons themselves have revealed the hidden meanings of some of their s
ymbols in some of their own literature. The secret societies, folks, that have c
oncealed their purposes and hidden meanings, concealed writings, and private ini
tiation ceremonies are, admittedly, very powerful.
One who recognized that power was Benjamin Disraeli, the prime minister of Engla
nd in the late 1880s, who said this in the House of Commons on July 14th in 1856
: "There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House...I mean the
secret societies...It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, t
hat a great part of Europe -- the whole of Italy and France and a great portion
of Germany, to say nothing of other countries -- is covered with a network of th
ese secret societies." What are their objects [sic]? "They do not want Constitut
ional government; they want to change the tenure of the land, to drive out the p
resent owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments [me
aning religion]."
The Masons know about concealing secrets from the rest of the world. Carl Claudy
, a Masonic writer, told his readers that secrets are inside secrets, which are
inside other secrets, and he wrote this: "[Cut] through the outer shell and find
a meaning; cut through that meaning and find another; under it if you dig [deep
] enough you may find a third, a fourth - who shall say how many teachings?" And
even the Communists used concealment, for the Communists were created by the My
steries. The cell system of the Communist party was created by the Mystery Schoo
ls, which have used the same system for millennia.
Nikolai Lenin, the Marxist Communist who communized the Russian nation in the ye
ars following the Russian revolution of 1917 wrote this: "We have to use any rus
e, dodge, trick, cunning, unlawful method, concealment and veiling of the truth.
" Many of the signs for identifying a Communist, or a member of the Communist pa
rty, are exactly the same as those symbols and signs used by Freemasons to ident
ify each other. The use of secrecy to conceal thoughts from certain of the membe
rs [sic] of an organization or from the public is the device of those who have s
omething to hide. That something is so horrible, so terrible, that knowledge of
that secret must be kept from those who would have the most to lose by knowledge
of that secret.
In the case of the secret societies, it is a belief in Lucifer, also known as Sa
tan, or the devil. In the case of Communism, it is the truth that the people liv
ing in a Communist nation [i]know[/i] that the system does not work. But those i
n a non-Communist nation, targeted for a Communist government, are not to learn
that simple truth. They're to be told that the system is the culmination of man'
s upward search for a perfect society. A Great Society, if you will, a Utopia on
earth, and they must be deluded into believe that there is no cost in the chang
e from their current form of government to the communist form.
One of the things that I find so incredible is that they trap the intellectuals
so easily. The intellectuals, the ones who are supposedly so good at using their
brain, cannot even use their brain so much as to look into history to see that
the [i]first[/i] people that the Communists, the international Socialists, destr
oyed, killed, sentenced to the labor camps, the gulag if you will, are always th
e intellectuals. And history has recorded the brutality of the Communists, and t
he fact that millions of people have had to die as the Communists installed that
form of government. The evidence to support that convention will be discussed l
ater in some other program.
Now, secrecy is certainly not a part of the Christian religion today, although t
he Christian religion began in secret and was, in fact, a secret society. It is
possible to know that nothing Jesus has said has been hidden from the Christians
of today. He told the high priest in [the book of] John, chapter 18, verse 20:
"And in secret have I said nothing."
The intentional concealing of an organization beliefs and purposes through the u
se of hidden language and concealed symbols is reserved primarily to the secret
societies, and the nationwide Masonic lodges are indeed a secret society. And in
the beginning, Christians had their secret symbols also. One of the most promin
ent was the symbol of the fish. The secret is simply the fact that certain of th
eir members [sic] worshiped Lucifer, and that they keep that secret from the ove
rwhelming majority of their own members, and certainly the public is never to kn
ow this fact if they can help it. And the evidence to support that conclusion is
ample, but only to one who cares enough to look for it. The problem with most p
eople is that they don't care enough to look for [i]anything[/i] except [i]Wheel
of Fortune[/i] on the television set.

[reading from [i]The New World Order[/i], written by A. Ralph Epperson]:

"So, the student of history has to discover the hidden meanings behind the symbo
ls and the Masonic literature and in the secret initiation ceremonies to underst
and the Masonic Order.
"One of the first symbols that needs to be examined is the symbol of the serpent
, also called a snake or dragon.
"Manly P. Hall wrote that the use of this symbol is as old as early man when he
wrote this in his book, entitled [i]The Secret Teachings of All Ages[/i]: 'Among
nearly all these ancient peoples the serpent was accepted as a symbol of wisdom
...'"
[William Cooper]: For from the serpent has man received the gift of intellect.
"Here Mr. Hall states that the serpent is the symbol of 'wisdom.' It will be rem
embered that Lord Maitreya, the future New Age leader, also oclaimed to possess
'wisdom.' Mr. Hall continued:
"'Serpent worship in some form has permeated nearly all parts of the earth. The
serpent is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior, who redeems the wor
ld by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and ev
il.'"
[William Cooper]: An admission that the serpent, at least from the point of view
of the Christian Bible, is Satan.
"And then Mr. Hall links the serpent with the Ancient Mysteries previously discu
ssed. He continues with the comment that the serpent was worshiped by the priest
s of that religion:
"'The priests of the Mysteries were symbolized as a serpent, sometimes called Hy
dra.'
"[And then he] pointed out that the Ancient Mysteries had been passed on to vari
ous other cultures, and that they have been brought forward to the present-day."
Folks, we'll continue this tomorrow night. If you can, reach into your pockets,
make out a check or money order...

Until tomorrow night, good night and God bless each and every single one of you.
