JOHNS ON TOP OF IT wrote:
The NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION: MUST COME FROM WITHIN! Each and every politically aware individual needs to let their VOICES be heard. It is an absolute and complete travesty that we see taking place right before our eyes.
I go away two weeks ago, return and the gas prices have gone up nearly a 1/2 dollar. What does this mean? Higher food, energy, clothing, and all essentials for life are SKY ROCKETING in PRICE. And for what reason? Pure and simple...GREED!!!
There are no OIL SHORTAGES, no BUSTED OIL or NATURAL GAS LINES, no HURRYCANE KRINAS to BLAME. It’s all about (GREED) the O-MIGHTY DOLLAR.
People UNIVERSALLY need to take a day off from driving. At least once a week consider (a day) not driving taking public transportation. Trust me? These will add up in the long run.
NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION works: REMEMBER the Selma, Alabama bus boycott? That was a NONVIOLENT REVOLUTIONARY act taking place by all of the people acting in unison.
And now it seems that Madison, Wisconsin is rediscovering the nonviolent resistance tactics of Selma and Birmingham.
We now have a NONVIOLENT LABOR MOVEMENT spreading in the North, just as our Civil Rights Movement spread through the South during the 1960s.
It is now a CLASS MOVEMENT--working people being black, white, latin, Asian,male,female or what have you.
It is a MULTIRACIAL movement of the dispossessed and exploited fighting for economic justice and basic democratic rights like collective bargaining.
It is remarkable when we recall that Dr. King's last campaign in Memphis was a fight for ECONOMIC as well as racial justice, a fight for the rights of impoverished Black sanitation workers to decent working conditions, benefits, salaries and the right to collective bargaining which the white supremacist corporate power structure sought to deny.
King once said that economic injustice was the twin of racial injustice; and that one possible outcome of a successful civil rights movement was that the racial divide may be at least breached (even if not eliminated) sufficiently for a COMMON STRUGGLE of the dispossesed to become possible. His last INTENDED campaign was the Poor Peoples Campaign, which a bullet prevented him from leading on April 4, 1968.
He intended to lead a NONVIOLENT REVOLUTIONARY campaign to Washington, DC to fight for social justice, and an ECONOMIC BILL OF RIGHTS. He planned to unite poor and their allies--black, white, latino, labor, progressive religious communities, progressive intellectuals and student--on a massive campaign to end the evils of exploitation, racism and militarism.
Perhaps the rising, nonviolent labor movement is an indication that the time is right for the resumption of that nonviolent revolution which King and others wanted to achieve in 1968.
We can prevail against fascist Republicans like Scott Brown despite the cowardly temporizing and vacillating of weak kneed Democrats (obviously, I don't mean those 14 courageous Dems in WI who are standing with the working people).
In previous posts I expressed my desire to see "Freedom for the people of Egypt. Down with the dictatorship. Prison or exile for the dictators."
Now I say "Justice and democratic rights for the American people. Justice for American workers. Oust the despots who seek to crush the workers. Long live freedom!"
We need a nonviolent revolution of MILLIONS of Americans of all races, colors and creeds to fight for economic democracy and civil liberties.
Down with plotocracy! Justice for all.

2012 is going to be bluer than blue.
It was a coup d'etat by a fascist governor and his looney rightwing senate. They lost the debate, with at least 61% of Americans on the side of the striking workers, and even some Republicans in Wisconsin now regretting they voted for that moron.
Scott Brown resorted to a desperate maneuver that may cost the Republicans dearly in 2012.
Working people are rising up all over America. If the Right keeps screwing people over, those revolutions in the Middle East may look like a picnic compared to what's coming here.
These reactionaries have essentially negated the democratic rights of the American people. They've done something that would be roundly denounced everywhere if it happened in a country with which the USA had adversarial relations.
It is high time that the Right was politically neutralized along with the plutocracy which perpetuates it.
A blade in the throat of oppression!

I will give some talks to community groups, black and white.

I will read writings of Dr. King.

I may have mentioned before that I teach Philosophy.

Dr. King, as I tell my students, is largely responsible for that.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. studied Philosophy and Theology at Boston University. That's how he became "Doctor" King.

I first read his famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" when I was 17.
I was deeply moved both by the literary ELOQUENCE of King's prose and the COGENCY of his philosophically trained reason.

I wanted to be like him (and also Malcolm X)--eloquent, socially conscious and intellectually sharp.
I read (often with great difficulty) a good number of the writers and thinkers whom Dr. King mentions (without the slightest pedantry) in his letter: Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, Martin Buber, Socrates (or rather Plato who depicts Socrates) the Biblical books of Amos, Isaiah, Paul Tillich and others.

Unbeknownst to myself, I was already transforming myself into a progressive intellectual while still and adolescent. King introduced me to Philosophy, and modeled the practice of both rhetorical power and penetrating analysis.

I owe Dr. King and his movement a lot.
I will include some of his writing, especially the Letter (maybe his speech against the Vietnam War) in my philosophy classes this upcoming semester.

I try to honor the legacy by PASSING IT ON, as my elders (including 1960s Movement veterans) have passed it on to me.

The Religion of Pike

From http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20040719173602/http://web004.webspace4you.ch/~swisswebworks-com/tribworks/gold/index.html?research/pike_quotes.html&2



The Religion of Albert Pike
(in his own words)


Research by Usury, Inc.

July 2003

Welcome to the religion of Cabala, Masonry, the Illuminati.
The religion of the President of the United States of America,
and of America's most famous pastors!
All quotes from Albert Pike's book:
"Morals & Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry"
(late 19th century)
with comments by Usury, Inc.

Quotes by Pike on God being Satan, and Lucifer being god, in no particular order:

p.102 - "The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God."
This is the core of Masonry and new age, called "equilibrium"; meaning that God has two parts, including the light of Lucifer, and the evil of the God of the Bible, the black and white, good and evil, yin and yang, male and female, dark and light, both supposedly necessarily part of the same God. This doctrine conveniently eliminates sin, making a mockery of both the absolute holiness and purity of God, and eliminates the evil of man and his filth and arrogance and separation from God through sin. Note: reversing words and speech is a core characteristic of witchcraft and the Illuminati.
p.103 - "A Spirit that loves wisdom and contemplates the Truth close at hand, is forced to disguise it, to induce the multitudes to accept it… Fictions are necessary to the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance… In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason."
p.819 - The symbols of the wise always become the idols of the ignorant multitude. What the Chiefs of the Order really believed and taught, is indicated to the Adepts by the hints contained in the high Degrees of Free-Masonry, and by the symbols which only the Adepts understand. The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry… It is well enough for the mass of those called Masons, to imagine that all is contained in the Blue Degrees; and whoso attempts to undeceive them will labor in vain…
Here we find Pike advocating deception and fraud by approving of the policy of Masonry is to lie to the masses of low-level Masons possessing the "Blue Degrees" (up to "Master Mason"), thereby admitting that Freemasonry is the worst of cults and cannot survive the light of day or the test of purity and truth. It is necessary to hide the awful truth of Masonry from the public and lower level masons (32° and less), for if the truth were made known, the evil of Masonry would chase away nearly everyone. Secrecy and lying are, of course, the opposite of what the Bible teaches, namely, that God is pure light, exposing the evil in man, who then cries out for release from selfishness, sin and deception, and receiving the righteousness and purity of Jesus. Jesus said the truth shall set men free. Christianity is the opposite of Masonry, exposing the deceitful and wicked heart of man with the purity and holiness of a perfect God. It is the only religion in history without shadows, the only religion which does not bend to accomadate a conniving humanity, the only religion build on the refreshing living water of a God who replaces the twisted ladder of lies with the purety and simplicity of Truth, and which replaces the chains and wounds of the Brotherhood with healing freedom, and replaces the demonic bondage of satanic sex with the intimacy and healthy relationship only possible with unconditional love.

p.103 - The first Druids were the true children of the Magi, and their initiation came from Egypt and Chaldæa, that is to say, from the pure sources of the primitive Kabalah. They adored the Trinity under the names of Isis or Hesus, the Supreme Harmony; of Belen or Bel, which in Assyrian means Lord, a name corresponding to that of Adonai; and of Camul or Camaël, a name that in the Kabalah personifies the Divine Justice. (p. 104) Below this triangle of light they supposed a divine reflection, also composed of three personified rays: first, Teutates or Teuth, the same as the Thoth of the Egyptians; the Word, or the Intelligence formulated; then Force and Beauty, whose names varied like their emblems. Finally, they completed the sacred Septenary by a mysterious image that represented the progress of the dogma and its future realizations. This was a young girl veiled, holding a child in her arms; and they dedicated this image to "The Virgin who will become a mother; -- Virgini parituræ."
Here Pike praises the Druids as children of the Magi, which Pike believes were holders of the keys of the pure ancient mysteries, since lost to man (which the Bible calls the Mystery of Iniquity, or of Evil). and he praises the Druid trinity of famous anti-Christ demons: Isis, Bel, and Camul. He then further admires Thoth, Intelligence, and Force / Beauty, and above all - the false virgin, which is also Isis. The virgin holding a child is the Queen of heaven (see next paragraph by Pike) and is found in all demonic religions of the ancient Mystery of Iniquity - today among Masons, Knights, Catholics, Orthodox, Hindus, and Illuminati; and earlier among the satanic Jews (Cabala), Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Phoenicians.
p. 104 - Hertha or Wertha, the young Isis of Gaul, Queen of Heaven, the Virgin who was to bear a child, held the spindle of the Fates, filled with wool half white and half black; because she presides over all forms and all symbols, and weaves the garment of the Ideas.
Isis is Venus of the Romans, condemned by God in the Bible as the Queen of Heaven, also known among the pagan Roman Church as Lucifer, as older encyclopedias clearly explain. Pike explains that Venus / Lucifer, i.e. the Queen of Heaven, is the head of all, the holder of the black / white principle of yin and yang, evil and good in the same god. Originally, the Mormon branch of Masonry taught that Lucifer and Jesus were brothers - and many Mormons in Utah hold to the original teachings to this day, as I discovered while doing research in Salt Lake City.
p. 104 - Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; (p.105) to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it. So God Himself incapacitates many men, by color-blindness, to distinguish colors, and leads the masses away from the highest Truth, giving them the power to attain only so much of it as it is profitable to them to know. Every age has had a religion suited to its capacity.
Pike explains again that deception is an important part of Masonry, and that even "God Himself" uses lies to lead the masses away from the truth, that truth is not for those "who are unworthy." Obviously this is not the religion or God of the Bible, who never lies and is incapable of lying. Furthermore, the Gospel is only for those who are unworthy, the exact opposite of Pike's religion of Masonry.
p. 320 - The Apocalypse, that sublime Kabalistic and prophetic Summary of all the occult figures…
Pike repeatedly mentions John's book of Revelation as a holy book of Cabala, while completely ignoring the rest of the Bible. This is typical among witchcraft and Illuminism, which recognizes that John correctly names the demons and goddesses of Cabala, but blocks out the rest of the Bible which explains the sin of man, and the deceptions of Lucifer. See Schnoebelen's "Lucifer Dethroned".

p. 321 - The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the nineteenth Degree, the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and desposes all the pomps and works of Lucifer. LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not! for traditions are full of Divine Revelations and Inspirations: and Inspiration is not of one Age nor of one Creed. Plato and Philo, also, were inspired.
This is the Pike classic quote, where he identifies Lucifer as the bearer of Light. Furthermore, he says Plato and Philo were also inspired by Lucifer, which is obvious when one studies the writings of Plato, which are clearly designed to increase man and decrease God.
p. 486 - The Ancient Astronomers saw all the great Symbols of Masonry in the Stars. Sirius still glitters in our Lodges as the Blazing Star, (l'Etoile Flamboyante). The Sun is still symbolized by the point within a Circle; and with the Moon and Mercury or Anubis, in the three Great Lights of the Lodge.
The 3 lights of Masonry in one paragraph: Sirius (Lucifer as Christ), the Sun (Lucifer as god), Moon (Lucifer as female Isis) or Mercury (Hermes). Obviously, this is not Christianity, but the oldest satanic religion on earth - worship of the stars, specifically, the trinity of Lucifer.
p. 567 - To prevent the light from escaping at once, the Demons forbade Adam to eat the fruit of "knowledge of good and evil," by which he would have known the Empire of Light and that of Darkness. He obeyed; an Angel of Light induced him to transgress, and gave him the means of victory; but the Demons created Eve, who seduced him into an act of Sensualism, that enfeebled him, and bound him anew in the bonds of matter. This is repeated in the case of every man that lives.
By the time a Mason reaches page 567, he has gone through the 25°, called "Knight of the Brazen Serpent", i.e. a knight of Lucifer, and is becoming increasingly blinded by demonic forces of the Mystery of Iniquity. So it is no surprise to see Pike now begin to call God satan, to mock and deride the holy name of God openly. Notice he says that Demons created Eve, and Demons told Adam not to eat of the fruit. Sick blasphemy. Obviously, this chapter alone is proof that Masons must not attain the 33° to know who the god of Masonry is!
p. 567, 2 - To deliver the soul, captive in darkness, the Principle of Light, or Genius of the Sun, charged to redeem the Intellectual World, of which he is the type, came to manifest Himself amoung men. Light appeared in the darkness, but the darkness comprehended it not; according to the words of St. John. The Light could not unite with the darkness. It but put on the appearance of a human body, and took the name of Christ in the Messiah, only to accommodate itself to the language of the Jews. The Light did its work, turning, turning the Jews from the adoration of the Evil Principle, and the Pagans from the worship of Demons. But the Chief of the Empire of Darkness caused Him to be crucified by the Jews. Still He suffered in appearance only, and His death gave to all souls the symbol of their enfranchisements. The person of Jesus having disappeared, there was seen in His place a cross of Light, over which a celestial voice pronounced these words: "The cross of Light is called The Word, Christ, The Gate, Joy, The Bread, The Sun, The Resurrection, Jesus, The Father, The Spirit, Life, Truth, and Grace."
Satan is the son and lord of matter; and the secondary angels and demons, children of matter. Satan created and governs the visible world. But the soul of man emanated from God, and is of the same substance with God. Seduced by the evil spirits, it passes through various bodies, until, purified and reformed, it rises to God and is strengthened by His light. These powers of evil hold mankind in pledge; and to redeem this pledge, the Saviour, Christ the Redeemer, came and died upon the cross of expiation, thus discharging the written obligation. He, like all souls, was of the same substance with God, a manifestation of the Divinity, not forming a second person; unborn, like the Divinity, and nothing else than the Divinity under another form.
Pike clearly calls God satan here, saying Satan created all that is seen. He also reiterates the doctrine that man is one with god and the universe, called reincarnation by most, or "becoming a god" as the Mormon branch of Freemasonry would phrase it.
p. 568 - The universal belief of the Orient was, that the Supreme Being did not Himself create either the earth or man. The fragment which commences the Book of Genesis, consisting of the first chapter and the three first verses of the second, assigns the creation or rather the formation or modelling of the world from matter already existing in confusion, no to IHUH but to the ALHIM, well known as Subordinate Dieties, Forces or Manifestations, among the Phœnicians.
Over and over Pike denigrates God the Creator, paving the way for evolution, and more importantly, allowing for a "smaller diety" -- i.e. Lucifer -- to become the "Supreme Being", who did not have to create the world or man, but merely guide it and improve it from already existing matter (i.e. Evolution, which was being pushed by Freemasons such as Erasmus Darwin -- grandfather of Charles -- exactly at the time Albert Pike wrote his Bible of Masonry. As the head of Masonry in his hemisphere, and one of the 2 or 3 top Illuminists worldwide, Pike was obviously a superior of Erasmus Darwin in the Lodge, and perhaps had direct contact with Erasmus regarding ways to spread the "new" religion of evolution. As you can see, the more you read of Pike, the more you realize that Masonry accepts any philosophy or spirit being as god, as long as it is NOT the God of the Bible. This is very important, as it unifies buddhist Freemasons in Japan Lodges, Jewish Freemasons of B'nai B'rith, and Catholic Masons of Germany, none of whom the lower-level Masons in America consider "Christian".
P. 624 - Though Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries… it presents only an imperfect image of their brilliancy… Upon leaving Egypt, the Mysteries were modified by the habits of the different nations among whom they were introduced.
p. 626 - The Kabalah is the key of the occult sciences; and the Gnostics were born of the Kabalists.
p. 776 - A man who is the slave of prejudices will never become the King of Nature and the Master of transmutations. The Philosophal Stone, therefore, is necessary above all things. How shall it be found? Hermes tells us, in his "Table of the Emerald," we must separate the subtile from the fixed, with great care and extreme attention. So we ought to separate our certainties from our beliefs, and make perfectly distinct the respective domains of science and faith; and to comprehend that we do not know the things we believe, nor believe anything that we come to know…"
p. 776 - The Sun and Moon of the Alchemists… correspond to the two columns of the Temple, Jachin and Boaz. The Sun is the hieroglyphical sign of Truth, because it is the source of Light; and the rough Stone is the symbol of Stability… To find the Absolute in the Infinite, in the Indefinite, and in the Finite, this is the Magnum Opus, the Great Work of the Sages, which Hermes called the Work of the Sun. To find the immovable bases of true religious Faith, of Philosophical Truth, and of Metallic transmutation, this is the secret of Hermes in its entirety, the Philosophical Stone.
p. 777 - He who desires to attain to the understanding of the Grand Word and the possession of the Great Secret, ought carefully to read the Hermetic philosophers, and will undoubtedly attain initiation, as others have done; but he must take, for the key of their allegories, the single dogma of Hermes, contained in his table of Emerald, and follow, to class his acquisitions of knowledge and direct the operation, the order indicated in the Kabalistic alphabet of the Tarot.
Wow. It just keeps getting worse. Now Pike recommends the pagan philosophers of Hermes, and the demonic Tarot.
p. 778 - The Hermetic Gold is not only a true dogma, a light without Shadow, a Truth without alloy of falsehood; it is also a material gold, real, pure, the most precious that can be found in the mines of the earth.
A while back, we saw how Pike advocates and even relishes the lying and deception within Masonry. Now, he tries to paint the Mystery Religion as being of truth and without falsehood. What a fraud, Pike. You can't have it both ways! Who could read such hypocrisy within the very same book without disgust? By the way, have you ever met a Mason who has read "Morals and Dogma"? Nor have I.
p. 778 - But the living gold, the living sulphur, or the true fire of the philosophers, is to be sought for in the house of Mercury.
"In the house of Mercury" he says! Here near the end of the Mason's Bible, Pike apparently assumes no Christians have read this far, or he wouldn't spell out Lucifer so clearly. The dictionary defines mercury as "A Latin god of commerce and gain; - treated by the poets as identical with the Greek Hermes, messenger of the gods, conductor of souls to the lower world." The ancients called him satan.


Esteemed Masonic master Manly P. Hall confirms Lucifer is the power of Freemasonry

"When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy"
- Manly P. Hall, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, p. 48



From "pantheon.org" :

Hermes was a phallic god, being attached to fertility and good fortune, and also a patron of roads and boundaries. His name coming from herma, the plural being hermaiherm was a square or rectangular pillar in either stone or bronze, with the head of Hermes (usually with a beard), which adorned the top of the pillar, and male genitals near to the base of the pillar.  (Here are two pictures I have chosen not to include on this page, to make printing less offensive, and to avoid giving undo glory to the despicable gods of Masonry, Cabala, and the Jesuits.  The first picture is a "Herm", a hewn sexual stone idol found on major roads and boundaries of ancient Greece and Rome, even to this day.  The second picture is included as proof for those who are innocent of Masonry, that the symbol of "medicine" and The Bank is sex worship.)
The "archeological pillar" (left), was not hidden in museums, but placed everywhere at great expense -- at boundaries and major roads -- proving the gross sexual pagan worship of ancient Greece.  Apparently, modern medicine is not concerned about the public learning about their god, for indeed, as low-ranking Freemasons do not know about Lucifer, so also harried and brainwashed doctors and nurses remain ignorant of the foundation and long-range goals of pagan "medicine" (drugism).
From "about.com" : Ancient / Classical History:
Hermes was neither originally winged nor a messenger - Hermes was, instead, clever, tricky, a thief, and, with his awakening or sleep-conferring wand, the original sandman…
Over time, "tricky" and "thief" were replaced with "commerce" and "trade" and "gain". Which explains why a USURY specialist like the Illuminati bank UBS has Hermes as their symbol, with statues of a nude Hermes adorning various of their buildings, complete with the Cadaceus, a symbol of Luciferian equilibrium and of the phallus, which is the hidden meaning which Pike keeps referring to: the holy phallus of Lucifer and ritual sex, which is worship of Lucifer. Pike, famous for disgusting food orgies and 300 pounds of rolling fat, was nevertheless also famous for his group sexual orgies in the forest; so his praise for Hermes, the phallic god, is no surprise, nor the continual reference to the serpents.
The surprise is that banks would choose a symbol of thievery, sex and satan, or that the modern medical profession, founded by Rockefeller, would openly reveal whom they serve, by choosing such condemning symbols.  The term "field of medicine" implies drugs, by the way, not health, and literally taken would accurately describe why a banker named Bush creates war with his CIA in countries specializing in "fields of drugs".  Perhaps now you will understand a bit more of the nature of banking (the world's top source of poverty), and modern medicine (the number one cause of death in the United States).  Both groups, banking and "medicine", together have a monopoly on, and derive most of their income from, the manufacture, control, distribution, and administering of drugs, both legal and illegal, for insane off-the-books profits, and the destruction of society.  If there is a Hermes Award, surely its greatest recipient would be George H. W. Bush, the destroyer of Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia, Nicaragua, and the founder of the "War on Drugs" under clueless Mason Ronald Reagan.  The Hermes Award would mean the man who does the most to destroy health and wealth, through the promotion of drug usage, and the encouragement of investing on his Wall Street to get rich, while actually doing the opposite: transferring wealth from the general public to himself and friends by destroying savings through booms, busts and inflation (printing dollars and credit); and exchanging dangerous legal and illegal drugs for people's health - all in the name of Sun god, the Serpent, and the Love of Money.
No one ever won in battle without understanding the wiles of the enemy. As darkness and pagan perversion overwhelms the light in this post-Falling Away world, it is clear that the Church has lost its armor, its battle plan, and its sword... not to mention not being able to hear their General's soft Voice.  This is an army which hasn't a clue who or what the enemy is... for the enemy is within!
