Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History (14 page)

For a time, the Fitzgeralds lived near the former site of the Green Dragon Tavern, established around 1680 and demolished for the widening of a street in 1820. The Fitzgerald home was on Hanover Street and the Green Dragon Tavern was on Green Dragon Lane (now Union Street). The tavern boasted the “first lodge room of Freemasonry in America,” the St. Andrews Lodge, located within the tavern proper. In the mysticism of the Chinese tongs, the Green Dragon is a death symbol. A symbol of the latter is worn on a ring or held in the hand of a “hatchet man.” The Green Dragon is supposed to impart the notion of a “license to kill” for it signifies that the murder is an affair of “honor”: the Green Dragon is the guardian of the god-with-a-thousand-eyes who protects the sanctity of the third heaven.

Much of Boston’s Irish population arrived in America in what were nicknamed the “coffin ships.” Members of the Kennedy family were acquainted with the “Coffin Family.” The Reverend William Sloane Coffin was the son of theologian Henry Sloane Coffin; Coffin the younger was a member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council that Sargent Shriver headed. “Shriver” or “Shrive” has the meaning of one who grants absolution to a penitent and it was customary to call upon a shriver before death. If the shriver was not available, a “sin eater” was summoned. The old pious cry that had to do with the request for a shriving was “Shrive me O Holy Land and Give Me Peace.” To this the shriver would respond, “Pax Vobiscum:”

The spell lies in two words, Pax Vobiscum will answer all queries. If you go or come, eat or drink, bless or ban, Pax Vobiscum carries you through it all. It is as useful to a friar as a broomstick to a witch or a wand to a conjurer. Speak it but thus, in a deep grave tone, Pax Vobiscum! It is irresistible — watch and ward, Knight and squire, foot and horse, it acts as a charm upon them all. I think, if they bring me out to be hanged tomorrow, as is much to be doubted they may, I will try its weights upon the finisher of the sentence. — “Wamba, son of Witless”

Sargent Shriver, “a Catholic and Kennedy by marriage,” as head of the Peace Corps and in association with a Coffin, might be considered to be in a sensitive position in relation to mystical onomatology.

In the ancient mysteries, the aspirant could not claim a participation in the highest secrets until he had been placed in the Pastos, bed or coffin. … The coffin in Masonry is found on tracing boards of the early part of the last century, and has always constituted a part of the symbolism of the Third Degree, where the reference is precisely to the same as that of the Pastos in the ancient mysteries. —

President Kennedy sat at the head of a coffin table at the White House. To his back, over a fireplace, hung a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, an assassinated president. On either side of the picture were urns that resembled the type called “cinerary urns” which are vessels in which the ashes of the dead are kept. A book about JFK was called
Three Steps to the White House.
In Masonry are what is known as the “three symbolical steps.” “The three grand steps symbolically lead from this life to the source of all knowledge.”

It must be evident to every Master Mason without further explanation, that the three steps are taken from the darkness to a place of light, either figuratively or really over a coffin, the symbol of death, to teach symbolically that the passage from darkness and ignorance of this life through death to the light and knowledge of eternal life. And this from earliest times was the true symbolism of the step. —

The body of President Kennedy was placed in a coffin which was positioned in the center of a circle under the Capitol dome. The catafalque was a temporary structure of wood appropriately decorated with funeral symbols and representing a tomb or cenotaph. It forms a part of the decorations of a “Sorrow Lodge.” This Masonic Encyclopedia reference is to the ceremonies of the Third Degree in Lodges of the French Rite.

Pictures taken of the Kennedy coffin and catafalque show these two props of the funerary rite as a point in a circle. Fecundity is the symbolic signification of the Point within a circle and is a derivation of ancient sun worship.

In olden lore of mystery cults and fertility religion was invariably the legend of the death of the hero god and the disappearance of his body. In the subsequent search and supposed finding of the body we see the contrivance of an elaborate psychological ruse, well known to the masters of the ancient mysteries. The body was said to have been concealed by the killer or killers of the hero god. The concealment of the body was called aphanism, and is a rite of the Masonic Third Degree. Anyone interested in comprehending the mechanics of group mind control would do well to study the Third and Ninth Degrees of Masonry in particular.

The disappearance of the body, this aphanism, is to be found in the assassination of President Kennedy:

The President’s brain was removed and his body buried without it … Dr. Cyril Wecht, chief medical examiner of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, past president of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists, and a professor of pathology and law, received permission from the Kennedy family in 1972 to view the autopsy materials (at the National Archives). When he routinely asked to see the brain, Wecht was told it was missing, along with the microscopic slides of the brain. Marion Johnson, curator of the Warren Commission material at the Archives said, “The brain’s not here. We don’t know what happened to it.”

After the Kennedy coffin was removed from the center of the Capitol rotunda circle, it was taken, with pageantry, to the street for viewing. The funeral procession made an “unplanned stop” on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the “Occidental Restaurant” and a picture was taken of the flag-draped Kennedy coffin with the word “Occidental” featuring prominently over it. In Masonry and in the lore of the Egyptian jackal-god Anubis, a dead person is said to have “gone west.” Several months after the Kennedy funeral, “Occidental Life,” an insurance branch of the Transamerica Corporation, ran an advertisement for group/life which was proclaimed, as usual, to be “new” but with a turn which was indeed original: the inferential weird claim was made that “Until now there was only one way to cash in on Group Insurance,” apparently some rather profound changes were made in the manner of things-as-they are after the Killing of the King had become a fait accompli.

The spontaneous stop was made because of the horse Sardar (chief), a gelding (castro), which was wearing boots pointing to the rear in the Kennedy funerary rite. Horses figure prominently not only in the pleasure of kings, but in their murders as well. James Earl Ray was convicted partly on the evidence of a “white Mustang” (automobile), Sirhan Sirhan claimed to his psychiatrists, trance-like, that he shot Robert Kennedy, “for a mustang, mustang, mustang…”

John F. Kennedy had demonstrated affection for the performance of a lady who was a renowned ostrich-feather fan manipulator (Marilyn Monroe). In Egypt, lamenting girls with ostrich feather fans sang a song of entreaty of the type that Nephthys and Isis reputedly sang as a dirge before the said partial resurrection and/or erection of Osiris. The said dirge of lamentation has become known as a Maneros, and the singers are entreating the dead to return, by singing “come to my house” and then offering inducements of some type or other. It is a damn pity that the ritualists couldn’t have had Marilyn Monroe and Rosemary Clooney sing a maneros at the JFK funeral.

Before JFK began his Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death, Journey of the Dead) he was photographed with Tito on the winding stairs in the White House. “Tito” (his real name is said to be Josip Broz) is a significant name in Masonry since it was the title given to Prince Harodim, the first Judge and Provost said to be appointed by King Solomon. Tito was a reputed favorite of that evil Jew whose temple was a hot-bed of thievery, money-changing, male and female prostitution and sorcery. This Tito presided over the Lodge of Intendants of the temple and was one of the “twelve knights of the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Let me repeat, JFK was on some winding stairs with a man called Tito.

Winding stairs are symbolically important in Masonry.

The legend of the winding stair is taught in the degree of Fellow Craft. This is the Second Degree, and a person at this grade is, of course, a candidate for the symbolical assassination, euresis, autopsy, coffin resurrection of the Third Degree.

The number of steps in the winding stair are “odd” although no less so than the fact that this Tito or Harodim is a name translating as “those who

The number of steps in the winding stair are “odd” although no less so than the fact that this Tito or Harodim is a name translating as “those who rule over” the activities of the temple of Solomon.

The winding stairs of this temple, according to the Masons, begins at the porch and winds to a level purified by the Divine Presence (Shekinah) and dominated by the Divine Strength (Oswald).

President Kennedy preceded Tito down the stairs to a portrait of the assassinated President Garfield, where he was photographed and another picture was taken on the stairs before a picture of Lincoln (recall the black walnut rocker of JFK, comparable to the black walnut rocker Lincoln was assassinated in; the “Lincoln Continental” limousine in which Kennedy was shot and the thousand other parallels between the two men). It’s unfortunate that President Kennedy didn’t trip Tito and then slide down the stair-rail, for he was in a very bad symbolic position, as related to Masonic sorcery, and such unorthodox action might have rattled the “Prince of Harodim.”

John F. Kennedy, the one and only Catholic president of the United States, was a human scapegoat, a “pharmakos.” Pharmakos or Pharmokvos can mean “enchantment with drugs and sorcery,” or “beaten, crippled or immolated.” In alchemy, the killing of the king was symbolized by the crucified snake on a tau cross, a variant of the crucifixion of Christ.

Jesus Christ was tortured and murdered as the result of the intrigue of the men of the Temple of Solomon who hated and feared Him. They were steeped in Egyptian, Babylonian and Phoenician mysticism.

Masonry does not believe in murdering a man in just any old way and in the JFK assassination it went to incredible lengths and took great risks in order to make this heinous act correspond to the ancient fertility oblation of the Killing Of The King.

I have stated time and again that the three hoboes arrested at the time of the assassination in Dallas are at least as important symbolically as operationally, and that they comprise the “Three Unworthy Craftsmen” of Masonry. This mechanism is at once a telling psychological blow against the victim and his comrades, a symbol of frustrated inquiry and the supposedly senseless nature of any quest into the authentic nature of the murders, and a mirror or doppelganger of the three assassins who executed the actual murder.

As for the three assassins themselves:

“Perry Raymond Russo told a New Orleans grand jury that (CIA agent David) Ferrie said (regarding the assassination of JFK) that “there would have to be a minimum of three people involved. Two of the persons would shoot diversionary shots and the third … shoot “the good shot.” Ferrie said that one of the three would have to be the “scapegoat.” He also said that Ferrie discoursed on the availability of exit, saying that the sacrificed man would give the other two time to escape.” (Quoted by W.. Bo wart in
Operation Mind Control.)

The Kennedy administration was referred to as Camelot, supposedly in joy over the renewed promise of the youthful and vigorous president, his lovely “storybook wife” and the potential of “New Frontier” reform. No doubt, if one attempted to point out the ominous symbolism of the Camelot phrase, such a person would be dismissed as “trying to ruin a good thing,” but that has already been accomplished by someone else, and the resulting disenchantment has prepared us to believe the worst about the real story of our internal government.
