“7 For the MYSTERY of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 KJV
Words and their meaning are vitally important.
Proverbs 18:21 states that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”, and it was through The Word that the LORD spoke our world into existence. Just as important as our words are the symbols and signs that represent them. We should be reminded too of Ephesians 6:12:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
It is these supernatural and unseen forces that we battle against; powers unseen but deadly serious. Just as Christians have the Fish or the Cross, these dark forces have their signs and sigils too.
This is an incredibly difficult article for me to write. Not only is the subject matter exceedingly dense, but as a veteran of the Global War on Terror, I once proudly called myself a patriot and a soldier for this country. Seeing the reality on the ground in Afghanistan opened my eyes in more ways than one, and has led me down many a strange footpath since then. Those stories are outside the scope of this article, but suffice it to say that I do not relish what I am about to discuss. For many years I was an American chauvinist, and it is only through the Holy Spirit that these scales have fallen from my eyes. I fervently pray that the rest of my American brothers and sisters in Christ awaken to this revelation.
The subject matter of this essay is of the utmost importance. This fetid bandage must be ripped off, and the withered fig leaf that we cover ourselves with must be torn asunder. Our empire of lies extends much further and deeper than we realize, to the very foundations of this nation. To understand how we as a nation and a people got here, we must necessarily go back to the beginning.
First let us discuss that mystery of iniquity referenced in Thessalonians. From Strong’s Concordance, the word mysterion is a derivative of muo meaning:
(to shut the mouth); a secret or "mystery" (through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites):—mystery.
The Greek word mysterion is the same one used to describe Mystery Babylon in Revelation. It is this occult luciferian Mystery, this initiation into the dark arts, that enraptures and deceives the world through the usage of pharmakeia, or sorcery. (Pharmakeia, not so coincidentally is the root word of pharmacy.)
I contend that the cornerstones of our very nation are laid upon that Mystery, otherwise known as Freemasonry.
— Masonic monument of George Washington. Note that Freemason takes precedence over President.
“Although I hold the highest civil honor in the world, I have always regarded my rank and title as a Past Grand Master of MASONS the greatest honor that had ever come to me.”
— President Harry S. Truman (33°)
— George Washington Laying the Cornerstone of the United States Capitol, Sept. 18, 1793, ill. by John D. Melius (33°).
The Masonic ties of America’s first president are well known. George Washington can be seen above in full Freemason regalia, serving as master of the ceremony for the cornerstone laying ritual of the future Capitol building. Many of the American Founding Fathers were known Freemasons, and many are suspected of being tied to this international and infamous fraternity. Openly known are President George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, President James Monroe, Ethan Allen, First Chief Justice John Jay, Samuel Adams, Admiral John Paul Jones, and Paul Revere. Nine of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were confirmed Freemasons, including John Hancock, with 7 of the signers suspected of membership, such as its primary author President Thomas Jefferson. Thirteen of the 39 signers of the Constitution were known Freemasons, with 33 (there’s that pesky coincidence) of the 74 generals of the Colonial Army being Freemasons as well. Fifteen of our presidents have been known Freemasons, and George W. Bush was the last president holding office with an openly known secret society membership, that of Skull and Bones.
Far from being a harmless fraternity, this ancient organization is one in a long line of secret societies that have endeavored to rebirth one world government by a so called enlightened class of philosopher kings: the promise of Babel reborn. Don’t believe me? Let us remove all doubt by examining a truly small selection of the pagan symbols and monuments which they blatantly parade before our faces:
This statue of George Washington, called Enthroned Washington, was sculpted by a fellow Freemason and unveiled on the centennial of Washington’s birth. It is modeled after the once world famous statue of Zeus Enthroned, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The statue’s pose is also modeled upon yet another pagan deity, that of Baphomet:
Well that’s eerie but I’m sure it’s just one of those coincidences. The statue so deeply offended and disturbed the puritan society of the time that it was removed from the Capitol building and now resides in the Smithsonian.
Capitol Hill is yet another direct salutation to the pagan deities of both Greece and Rome. The name itself was selected by Thomas Jefferson as homage to the Capitoline Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome and the location of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. Indeed, the entire plan for the Capitol building was closely overseen by the crypto-occultist Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson designed the Capitol Rotunda as a near carbon copy of the Greek Pantheon, a temple dedicated to all of the Greek gods. Our modern temple to democracy is no less defiled by these pagan deities, as you can below.
— The Greek Pantheon.
— The Capitol Rotunda
— The Apotheosis of Washington, 1865, ill. by Freemason Constantino Brumidi.
The picture that symbolically takes the place of the Sun at the top of the Capitol Rotunda, seen above, is quite simply idolatry of the highest order. Apotheosis literally means to become a god; the fresco depicts Washington attaining immortality as he reigns on Zeus’ throne. Washington’s pose that we see once again is a symbolic representation of the occult maxim “as above, so below.” The Rotunda art is also densely laden with Masonic and occult symbolism. Take for instance the 72 stars surrounding the painting: a direct reference to the 72 tribes scattered during the Babelizing of languages seen in Genesis 11.
Perhaps the most overt manifestation of this occult symbolism can be seen every day on our currency. Let’s examine the one dollar bill and the Great Seal of the United States, designed by the Freemasons William Barton and Charles Tomson:
The Great Seal has been in usage since 1782 but began gracing our dollar bills after the creation of the Federal Reserve. It is replete with Masonic imagery: the All Seeing Eye, represents truth and knowledge. It gives off light as the symbolic representation of Lucifer, the light bearer and the bringer of forbidden, or occult, knowledge. The unfinished pyramid — with 72 bricks — represents the Great Work, an alchemical concept from the Phoenician mystery cults of antiquity. It is a symbol for the perfection of man and his transcendence into immortality through knowledge. Let us not forget the Latin text bordering the seal: Novus Ordo Seclorum translates to New Order of the Ages, or A New Order of the World; Annuit Coeptis roughly translates to “He favors our undertaking.” The “He” being referenced here is surely not the living God.
We also have the owl of Minerva — the Greek goddess of Wisdom — hiding in the right hand corner. The owl is a creature that is steeped in occult symbolism, and was another animal form of the Canaanite god Baal. It has often been associated with witchcraft and sorcery, as well as a representation of wisdom or knowledge.
— Seen in the top right corner of the one dollar bill.
Let’s take just one of the better known monuments in D.C., the Washington Monument. The obelisk stands at 666.6 feet tall in total; 555.5 feet lies above the ground, or 6666 inches; and 111.1 feet lies beneath the ground, or 1333 inches. Just the obelisk itself is a symbol of deep occult significance. They once adorned the temples of Egypt, representing the cycle of death and rebirth that the Sun god Ra (i.e. the light bringer) undertook every day. It is additionally a phallic symbol of fertility, as well as a symbol of immortality represented through that cycle of life and death.
Washington’s obelisk is just one of the many blatantly occult symbols dotting our capitol.

“We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a NEW WORLD ORDER. A world where the conduct of law, and not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations.
When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this NEW WORLD ORDER.
An order in which a creditable United Nations can use it’s “peace keeping” role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.”
— President George Bush, CIA director & Member of Skull and Bones
Seems pretty strange so far right? “Woah Scipio I definitely never heard any of this in history class.” Yeah I understand that, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But again, don’t take my word for it. Let us see what the most infamous satanist in the 20th century, Anton LeVay, has to say in his book, The Satanic Rituals: Companion to The Satanic Bible (emphasis mine):
The rite was originally performed by the Order of the Illuminati, founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt as an extension of existing Masonic ritual. Ten year earlier, Gotthold Lessing had influenced many Germans’ opinions on the limits of the arts with his critical treatise, Laocoön. The intellectual climate in Germany had reached the point of controversy that in England gave rise to the Hell Fir Club. Passing off Bavarian Illuminati as a society with a purely political base is a blunder often made by those who naively think that politics and magic ritual do not mix. Masonic orders have contained the most influential men in many governments, and virtually every occult order has Masonic roots.
We have one of the most notorious arch-masters of the occult acknowledging here the role Freemasonry has played in secret societies throughout the ages, including his own. It is also important to note how he ties the Bavarian Illuminati to Masonry (the former group we will cover later). It is this pursuit of forbidden knowledge, the literal meaning of occult, that ties all these sordid societies together in pursuit of their alchemical Great Work.
The most powerful and influential Freemason of the 19th century also reveals who their true “god” is. In Morals and Dogma, 33rd degree Freemason Albert Pike writes:
The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the nineteenth degree, the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer. LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give 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: the Inspiration is not of one Age nor of one Creed. Plato and Philo, also, were inspired.
Here Pike openly preaches Universalism, or the idea that all religions lead to heaven or enlightenment. This directly contradicts a host of verses and vast swathes of scripture, not the least of which is John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me.” As with all things satanic, they invert, project and twist the truth. In this twisted luciferian religion, which Freemasons highest members admit, it is the fallen light-bringer who deserves praise and the tyrant God who is the accuser. Pike would serve as the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite (Southern Jurisdiction, USA) from 1859 to 1889.
Manley P. Hall, a fellow 33rd degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite, is perhaps the most prolific occult historian in the modern era. His book, The Lost Keys of Masonry, quite explicitly reiterates these concepts seen in Pike’s great tome (emphasis mine):
The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth.
— The Lost Keys of Masonry
He too displays the reverence that Masons hold for Lucifer later in that same book (emphasis mine):
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 surging energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward he must prove his ability to properly apply energy. He must follow in the footsteps of his forefather, Tubal Cain, who the mighty strength of the war god hammered his sword into a plowshare.
Manley tells us clearly what the mystery is.
The Mystery, the forbidden knowledge sought after by millennia of occultists, is none other than Lucifer.
“5 And the Devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the Devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.”
—Luke 4:5-7 KJV
Still not convinced? I’m sure all these powerful people I’m about to show you just had no idea they were signaling a hidden allegiance and their true religion. Oh that mystery religion that the apostles consistently warn us about? I’m sureeee all these photos I’m about to show you are just another one of those pesky coincidences.

It has not just infected the governments of the world. It has infected our cultures, our churches, our sports, our music, our movies, our shows and ultimately, ourselves. The ties between occultism, luciferian worship, and Freemasonry can not be any more clear. This essay has been the tip of that iceberg, and hopefully a rabbit trail of truth that you further pursue. There is a wealth of literature discussing these topics, with the texts written by Masons and occultists themselves providing perhaps the most illuminating view into this mysterious realm.
While Freemasons have tried to obscure this fact for the vast majority of it’s unwitting members, the “enlightened” among them know the true god that the Freemasons worship:
Their dark god is none other than Lucifer.
What can also not be denied is the crucial and pivotal role that Freemasonry had in the creation of this country. Some may believe that across disparate countries, across the centuries, believers of this mystery religion just happened to consistently find themselves at the head of governments or wielding cultural influence entirely by accident. As for me, I prefer to take the Lord Jesus Christ at His Word:
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed…
— Psalms 2:2 KJV
“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.”
— President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Christ has already told us who rules this world, and it is not men of flesh and blood, but HIM (Matthew 28:18).
To truly fight and win these cultural battles in the USA, we must recognize who the real foe is and who our true King is. To navigate our way out of the cultural wasteland we have driven ourselves into, we must recognize who the fight is actually against. The Freemasons are just one of a constellation of secret societies that claim to rule this world while they rebel against its reigning King. These secret orders inculcate their initiates young, with secret societies available even for high schoolers. The royalty of the world have been initiated into the mystery religion for millennia, and while we call our royalty Senator or President, they have been initiated all the same.
Lucifer leads the Beastly systems of the world, for a time.
It is in his power to delegate that authority to humans willing to cut their deal with the Devil.
Someone clearly made that deal.
— Satan Presiding at The Infernal Council, ill. by John Martin
This rabbit hole goes deep.
You can continue to doubt your lying eyes, or you can listen to your enemies who have already told you what they plan to do.
“SIGNS and SYMBOLS rule the world, not words nor laws.”
―Confucius
Another excellent article. I’m a little lost though. If the Founding Fathers were mostly Freemasons and British royalty are also Freemasons how does that work? Was the American Revolution just a squabble between “brothers”?
Also, I thought that no women were allowed into Freemasonry... are Lady Gaga and Madonna just props? And how did the magazine editors know which photos to use and what poses to ask for? Just how far does the web go?
Fascinating. I've seen many photos of famous people displaying the Masonic signs and I wonder are they ALL making the signs consciously or do the Freemasons mix up people who are unaware of their significance and just agree to the pose with those signed up? To me it makes far more sense for them to mix them up as they love mixing truth with lies and have us all guessing but perhaps they have strict rules about not having the unregistered using their signs?
