Regarding Freemasonry: Everything You Wanted to Know About Masonic Conspiracies, Read Online Free

    It’s really no surprise that so many influential members of the American Revolution were also Freemasons.  The birth of the United States is steeped in Masonic tradition, all of which has been well-documented both for historical purposes and crude sensationalism.  There are large numbers of important figures from both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War that I did not include, but are still worth researching.

    Modern Era Politicians:
    Gerald Ford, Robert Dole, Rev. Jesse Jackson
     I can’t really say why Gerald Ford and Bob Dole don’t impress me but Jesse Jackson does.  I think it’s because it’s just a bizarre person to associate with Freemasonry.  I mean, Ford and Dole are both crusty old white guys, and I’m pretty sure every single crusty old white guy in politics is suspected of being one as well.  But Jesse Jackson?  Didn’t see that one coming.

    Sports Figures:
    Ty Cobb, Jack Dempsey, Rogers Hornsby, Shaquille O’Neal, Sugar Ray Robinson, Cy Young
     Okay, now take a quick look at that group and tell me which one you didn’t expect to see.  Chances are, if you’re my age, you first became familiar with Shaq as one of the two-man team on NBA Jams in the arcades as a kid.  “He’s heating up!”  Indeed.  On another note, I’m always kind of embarrassed to see Ty Cobb’s name in there.  Talk about not exhibiting Masonic principals.  Cobb was a racist, a poor sportsman, a woman beater, and an all-around A-hole.

    Business Moguls:
    Bob Evans, Henry Ford, Richard Gatling, John Gates, Frederick Maytag, The Ringling Brothers, Col. Harland Sanders, Dave Thomas, John Wanamaker
     Some interesting names in there, but none more so than the Ringling Brothers.  All seven of them.  I’m pretty sure that’s enough people to start your own lodge.  Although, you have to admit, spaghetti dinners would be pretty interesting if you had all of the Ringling Brothers hosting.  I’d be expecting jugglers and fire-eaters to come popping out of the kitchen every time.

    Actors and Entertainers:
    Gene Autry, Johann Christian Bach, Mel Blanc, Ernest Borgnine, Samuel Clemons, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Duke Ellington, Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable, Oliver Hardy, Harry Houdini, Rudyard Kipling, Audie Murphy, Bronson Pinchot, Richard Pryor, Michael Richards, Roy Rogers, Will Rogers, Telly Savalas, Peter Sellers, Red Skelton, John Wayne, Oscar Wilde
     I wonder if all those old timey Western actors were Masons before they went to Hollywood?  If that’s the case, then I think we might have just uncovered an actual Masonic conspiracy.  These are a group of men who infiltrated the movie industry and conspired to wear tall hats and pants with tassels.  Impressive.  But there it is: Bronson Pinchot.  I’d make fun of Bronson Pinchot, but hey, at least he had the dignity to never perform at the Laugh Factory and go on a racist tirade.  Isn’t that right, Michael Richards?  Interestingly enough, after Richards embarrassed himself he turned to notable black leaders to apologize and seek guidance.  Who was number one on his list?  None other than fellow Mason, Jesse Jackson!
     

Chapter 4: The Internet, or, Affirmations for Silly People
     Listen, I know this will come as a surprise to most of you, so I’m going to try and break the news as gently as possible. 
     People are stupid. 
     And nowhere on the entire planet Earth are people more willing to demonstrate exactly how stupid they are than on the internet.  Sadly enough, great heaping hordes of other stupid people are willing to devour the drivel
