TRAPPED IN A MASONIC WORLD

- 243 -
Mohammed‘s army of men, out to slaughter all the ―infidels‖, came to the city of Fez, in Morocco, and
found a community of Christians. After slaughtering all the Christians living there with their Islamic-style
swords, they then allegedly took their fezzes and dipped them in the blood of the Christians, and wore the
fezzes throughout the land glorying in their victory over Christianity. As we know, Shriner‘s wear a red
fez with the Islamic sword and moon crescent. So who can this be in reference to? And as its their crest
of honour, who is it symbolically honouring? Certainly not the Christian faith that‘s for sure, nor Judaism,
and if anything it must be said it seems to show their allegiance to someone like Allah and Mohammed
instead.
Many Freemasons, belong to, or at least have some kind affiliation to other similar oath taking and
initiation kind of fraternities, with many of them starting off as a member of the Alpha, Delta, Kappa-
Greek like organisation, then progressing throughout the Masonic affiliations. During the 2010 Imperial
Council Session, held in Toronto July 4th to the 8th, George A. Mitchell of Jordan Station, Ontario,
Canada, was elected the Imperial Potentate of Shriners International, making him the highest-ranking
Shriner in the world, [5] he‘s the chairman of the Board Rameses Shriners, and his other Masonic
affiliations include Adanac Lodge No 614, the Scottish Rite and York Rite bodies, Knights Templar, the
Cabiri and the National Sojourners, Milwaukee Chapter No 27. He‘s a Past Master of the Lodge of
Perfection No 616 and a member of Seymour York Rite College No185. Mitchell is also an honorary
member of the Order of International Supreme Council of DeMolay International. That makes at least nine
Masonic affiliations, and even if you then divide that by only a third, so as to say that‘s how many
affiliations other Freemasons may too belong to, then you can quite clearly see how huge this outfit is, as
6,000, 000 becomes 18,000,000 ―affiliated members‖, yet how many Freemasons are in your family or
close circle of friends?
And when I ask such a question, - as I realise it‘s quite likely many a Freemason might decide to read
this book, - my question is directed to ordinary members of the public, the majority of those people who
have no friends, connections or affiliations with the Freemasons whatsoever.
It‘s appears the Shriners overall affiliations are with all things Islamic, as here's just an handful of lodge
names: the Palestine Shriners, Moolah Shriners, El Jebel Shriners, Oasis Shriners, Yaarab Shriners, Murat
Shriners, Kem Shriners, Arabia Shriners, Egypt Shriners, Wahabia Shriners, Bahia Shriners, Al Menah
Shriners, Midian Shriners, Ismailia Shriners etc. And as opposed to other organisation or groups who refer
to their governing bodies, such as a board of directors or governors, etc., the Shriners call their leaders the
―Divan‖. - Divan or diwan was a high governmental body in a number of Islamic states, or its chief
official.
As does the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm [MOVPER] whose subordinate
bodies are called Grottoes as opposed to lodges, and are a black Fez wearing organisation by and for
Master Masons only, who wane less towards an Arabic theme like that of the Shriners, and more towards a
Persian one.
The Order says of itself: ―That while proclaiming the loyalty of its members to Masonry, makes no
pretence of being a Masonic Order, nor does it claim to confer a Masonic degree. Its membership is
exclusively Masonic and its purpose is to supply the element of play such a way that work and play will be
blended without marring the solid beauty of Masonry‖. [6] Nevertheless, their affiliations, thus allegiance
goes without saying. The Grotto was founded in the summer of 1889 on September 10th by Freemason
LeRoy Fairchild, who along with other members of Hamilton Lodge No 120 in Hamilton, New York, met
to organise and hold informal meetings for fun and good fellowship, they decided to call the group the
―Fairchild Deviltry Committee‖. The definition of ―Deviltry‖ is: Reckless mischief, extreme cruelty,
wickedness, evil magic and witchcraft. It‘s a fraternity that allows the normally formal and serious
members of the Freemasons, to be able to let their hair down and go a bit wild, fair enough but why such a
term, ―deviltry‖, surely there are many appropriate alternatives.
Members are distinguished by a black fez with a red tassel, which has the acronym MOVPER along the
upper part, and a Mokanna head in the middle, with Bull Horns either side of the head, which is of Ben
Allah or Ben Hashem, surnamed Mokanna. It then has the name of the Grotto such as Azim which in that
case is in the Bronx, New York. Mokanna, meaning the ―veiled or the one-eyed‖, - was the founder of a
religious sect in Khorasaan, Persia, in the 8th century, who pretended to be God incarnate. – ‗Bull worship‘
and ideology is common throughout many ancient religions and cultures. The worship of the ‗Sacred Bull‘
[7] throughout the ancient world is most familiar to the Western world in the biblical text of the idol of the
Golden Calf made by those left behind by Moses during a visit to the mountain peak and worshipped by
the Hebrews in the wilderness of Mount Sinai-[Exodus].
