Something very interesting has occurred regarding the story detailed earlier here as " Killed With A Masonic Sword ."  First, there were mainstream media stories that it was not a Masonic sword, but merely a samurai sword (as, for example, reported by Time ). Then this was posted by  Wombaticus Rex , who wrote: The source for the Masonic Ceremonial Sword detail, as of yesterday, was Perez Hilton. He was also the first source out with a quote about "the architect of the universe." (I know all this because I was sent a link on FB and the wording got me interested enough to do some trawling with search strings.) I found it odd and interesting that he'd be fucking with people so specifically -- perhaps he delights in fucking with conspiratards, or perhaps he's in on the joke with Lady G and Jay-Z? Either way: odd. But all of this is merely some kind of incredible disinformation or misinformation campaign. Silly, silly Wombaticus! Actually, The Daily Mail ,...

An "Ugly Betty" actor repeatedly stabbed his mother, killing her with a Freemason ceremonial sword this morning, November 23, 2010, according to The New York Post . Yannick Brea, 55, was found in her second-floor apartment around 2:20 a.m. with multiple stab wounds.  Her son, Michael Brea, 31, was taken into custody. New York City police were called to a domestic disturbance at the home earlier in the evening but left shortly thereafter. Neighbors Vernal Bent and his mother Phyllis said they heard yelling from the floor below between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. and called 911. "I heard a shriek and a woman yelling 'help me'," Vernal Bent said. "We called 911 and we kept hearing screams and then we didn't hear them any more. Michael was chanting Biblical phrases and kept calling for Moses, Jerusalem and the ' Architect of the Universe '."* [*The Great Architect of the Universe (also Grand Architect of the Universe or Supreme Architect of the Unive...

The photo on the left, provided on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, by the Dane County Sheriff's Department shows Steven Cowan, and the one on the right is a publicity image of the target of Mr. Cowan's rage, Bristol Palin. The man with an extremely Masonic name, Cowan* (meaning an intruder, a pretender, and an eavesdropper), has now popped up on the twilight language radar screen linked with a member of Sarah Palin's family. (The surname Palin is a name of English or Welsh origin. Possible derivations include an anglicization of the Welsh patronymic ap Heilyn ~ "son of Heilyn" ~ or a reference to the English placenames Poling, West Sussex or Sea Palling, Norfolk. In the Mabinogi of Branwen ferch Llŷr Heilyn fab Gwyn Hen is one of the seven men who escape the conflict in Ireland. With his fellows he accompanies the severed head of Bendigaidd Frân on its journey to the White Mount in London.) Prosecutors say this rural Wisconsin man blasted his television with a shotg...

Associated Press photographer Cliff Owen captured some striking images from the scene of the news conference about J. Patrick Bedell's shooting at the Pentagon. These are my editorial choices for the photographs of the week, which summarize the subtle twilight background to the "active shooter" period currently being experienced in the USA: Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevill wears his Glock .40 S&W pistol as he speaks with reporters about a shooting at the Pentagon in Washington, Thursday, March 4, 2010.

De Naald (in English The Needle ), is the obelisk monument in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn that became the final resting place for Karst Tates' automobile.

Napoléon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821. The 5 feet, 7 inches of his height was normal for his time, but the British newspaper cartoonists had him shown as much smaller for political reasons. His famous "hidden hand" images were a broadcast signal of his links to the Freemasonry Brotherhood. The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries , by Jacques-Louis David, 1812.
