LBJ wasn't a KING and no, he didn't personally handpick the early astronauts, based on who was and who wasn't a brother Mason. There you go again, with your KOOKBERGER conspiracy theories.
I mentioned Colt and Gatling. I also listed many other famous Masons, who had added greatly to American and even world history.
You totally ignored my grand list of those who were instrumental in winning WW II.....FDR, Sir Winston Churchill, Generals Omar Bradley, Mark Clark, Douglas Macarthur, Georege Marshall, and Edward Rickenbacker. Hitler hated and persecuted Masons....and he lost.
Because of your sicko, and yes, paranoid animus against Masons and this really stupid conspiracy thread, I posted a whole lot of Masons, in specified grouping, so that if you wanted to write some more conspiracy fantasies ( which you just did, re the astronaut and LBJ...LOL ), you wouldn't have to go hunt for more names. LOL
You get know, around here, by what you post; now, you have to live with the fact that you posted this thread. Take it like a man and stop being a baby!
"You totally ignored my grand list of those who were instrumental in winning WW II....."
Don't forget Audie Murphy and Chesty Fuller (one of those may be WWI).
