The era of the free-masons.
Between 1937 and 1958, an amazing succession of publicly Masonic Supreme Court justices were appointed to the Supreme Court. Collectively, they radicalized American politics. Since their ascension, it can truly be said that every major socio-political change in America has been brought about by judicial, rather than legislative, means. They utterly dominated the Supreme Court during the Warren, Stone, and Vinson courts (1941-1969.) At times, as many as eight of the nine justice were Masonic.
The following is a listing of Masonic US Supreme Court justices appointed in the last 70 years. This is no conspiracy theory; all were very publicly Masonic. Allegations of covert Masonry (such as Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower) have been rejected for the purposes of this list.
Hugo Black (1937-1971)
S. F. Reed (1938-1957)
William Douglas (1939-1975)
Robert Jackson (1941-1954)
James Byrnes (1941-1942)
Wiley Rutledge (1943-1949)
Harold Burton (1945-1958)
Fred Vinson (1946-1953)
Tom C. Clark (1949-1967)
Sherman Minton (1949-1956)
Earl Warren (1953-1969)
John Marshall Harlan (1955-1971)
Potter Stewart (1958-1981)
Also, Thurgood Marshall (1968-1991) was a freemason.
Today, there are five (okay, four and a quarter) conservatives on the United States Supreme Court. Is it a coincidence that they are also the five members who cannot be freemasons?
Freemasons generally disdain Catholics, and Catholics may even incur excommunication by becoming Freemasons; all five are Catholic: Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Sam Alito. (Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not likely a freemason, nor is there credible evidence linking the other liberals to masonry.)
Unlike Roosevelt, Truman, and Johnson, John Kennedy was also not masonic. His appointments, Abe Fortas (1962-1965), and Byron White (1962-1993) were the only non-radical-leftists for several years on the court. Nixon, a Quaker, was also non-Masonic; Burger, while still liberal, was decidedly more moderate than his colleagues. Rehnquist was decidedly conservative. Unfortunately, the Senate blocked further conservatives, resulting in the selection of Lewis Powell, Jr.
Gerald Ford was a Freemason, and his selection, John Paul Stevens, while not publicly Masonic, continued the radical policies of prior freemasons. Was Stevens simply covertly Masonic? Sources alleging he was are not reliable, but his ties are definite.

(Clarence Thomas was not Catholic when he was appointed, but was Catholic previously and is currently Catholic.) All four solidly conservative justices have been linked to an anti-Masonic, Catholic group.
Being a male descendant of Aaron (or at least a levitical priest, I am a kohanim, both by genetics and name), the "golden bull" reference was a particularly offensive slander.
Read what I wrote again:
"Incidentally, the link between Lucifer and Satanism only came about by medieval esoteric angelologists... Elsewhere, however, the morning star, in seperate allusions, is heralded as proclaiming the imminent return of light."
>> Your post on this very thread, for example, is one: <<
Well, you certtainly weren't referring to me regurgitating anything from any other thread!
>> "As well as explain why they worship Lucifer (no, it's not actually Satanic; the name means "bearer of light") while bowing before a golden bull." <<
Yes, I saw for myself at the National Masonic Monument the golden bull and the Luciferian references. They are real, and they do freak people out. And if you deny that they are real you are a pathetic liar. I am not recycling anti-Masonic slander, I am stating for my own eyes what I have seen, and explaining that there is nothing untoward happening.
There is no 'National Masonic Monument'.
You wouldn't be referring to the George Washington Masonic Memorial, would you?
I'm trying to figure out what this bull is you're referring to. The only bull you'll find in my lodge is the kind you shoot. ;-)
In all seriousness, I know next to nothing about Freemasonry, but I *do* know that names mean something, and what they mean matters. Hence my interest in the name "Eastern Star."
Quite plausible, to me, re the RC's.
Though, knowing the sources at the time, I believe them quite strongly.
Conceiveable.
Just relating what was exceedingly believable because of the trust I had in the sources at the time.
BTW, as much as I super highly respect you and your knowledge . . . I don't ASSUME that you know 100% about ALL things Masonic.
I do understand your high regard for the fine Masons you know etc.
You mean the fireworks aren't worth the bother? LOL.
Part of me would prefer to avoid the topic just because of my respect and love for you and hubby.
But, I guess occasionally, it's hard to resist. LOL.
The level of ignorance about Freemasonery, here on Freerepublic, never ceases to amaze me.
Since Armstrong was a scout before he became a Mason and an Astrounaut, as were many, perhaps they should go after the Boy Scouts as the basis of all this evil. /sarcasm
And if you were an upper middle class Protestant professional guy a half century ago, you probably had certain views about politics and society, probably more conservative about some things, yet strangely liberal about other things, at least by our standards today.
It's different social milieus that account for those views, not the Masons as a movement.
You posted this vile thread, which served no purpose, except to give you another venue to trash good men and true, alive and dead, and by extension, all of their family members.
Please tell me HOW, all 20th century Masons, including the likes of Harry Houdini, all of the Ringling brothers, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, Robert E. Peary, Andrew Mellon, Dr. Charles H. Mayo ( as well as his father and son ), Irving Berlin, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Ty Cobb, John J. Pershing, George Cohan, Ernest Borgnine, Louis Armstrong, James C. Penny, Oliver Hardy, John Wayne, W. D. Griffth, Louis B. Mayer, Florenz Zigfield, Clark Gable, Booker T. Washington, Lowell Thomas, my grandfather and his brothers, my father, and my father-in-law, to mention but a few, deserve your irrational, paranoid, vile, spurious, libelous rants. Here's a hint..... THE DON'T!
If one were to judge FR, by you, they would decide that this site is composed of uneducated, paranoid, delusional, conspiracy theorists, who make things up out of whole clothe, and need to be institutionalized.
So many wonderful men, being besmirched here, by those unfit to even polish their shoes.
Several different Masonic posters have explicitly told you where it came from and what it means.
I've never claimed that I know EVERYTHING about Freemasonry, but I DO know that you need to NOT talk about things you don't
know anything at all about. And hearsay doesn't count for much.
Laura was clearly directed by the Masonic Fearless Leader to seduce Dubya and advance their cause of global domination!!!
You don't like it, when others find fault with some of your interests, so why are you doing worse to others and reveling in it?
Good one! :-)
