US President Bill Clinton

"According to ‘Freemasonry Today’, young Bill enlisted in DeMolay at Hot Springs in Arkansas in 1961. He later stated: “I enjoyed learning all parts of the ritual. I grew up in a family with no money and no political influence. I had a lot of breaks; a lot of people helped me. DeMolay I think helps that”.

He would later become a Rhodes scholar: Cecil Rhodes was himself a highly respected millionaire Freemason."

#OSMupdates for all you #history nerds and #freemason enthusiasts...

I just finished extensively documenting the Palestine Lodge, Masonic Lodge no. 141 on OpenStreetMap with details from the Portland, Oregon Historic Resource Inventory, the #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces, and my own on the ground recon. I've gathered enuff data and resources that I will probably end up editing #Wikipedia later with more information.

I had peviously published updates here, but they were all to do with the occupant of the building, Worksource Oregon.

I just listened to This Day Podcast's episode about George Washington and the Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony. It's a good episode, but pretty obvious they don't know much about Masonry or secret societies.

Thanks to a chance encounter I've spent the last week as official photographer for St Magnus International Festival. Pretty much a dream gig as far as #photography is concerned!

The highlight for me was Seven Rings - Escocia Duo performing South American music in the blue lit gloom of Kirkwall Kilwinning Masonic Lodge.

Not sure the #Freemason overseeing proceedings was happy about a woman sitting in the throne!

Challenging conditions but amazing #music.

My "new" freemason pocket watch from 1902. It's a fully working Howard 17 jewel movement.

As a Freemason I found the following passage about our teachings exemplary of why I joined

MASONIC TEACHINGS

[...] extend charity and sympathy to all mankind, shield and support the widow and orphan, defend virtue, respect the aged, honor the bonds of friendship, protect the helpless, lift up the oppressed, comfort the downcast, restore dignity to the rejected, respect the laws of government, promote morality, and add to the common stock of knowledge and understanding.

You know, if you were a #freemason #spycop asshole, you could wait or arrange for someone to be out of their flat then go into it wearing your #HiVisJackets and use a fake Curry scent to stink it up.

But, who would do such a thing?

MediaMatters reveals #Hatemongering #ConspiracyTheorist #CandaceOwens: “#freakedout when I learned #BuzzAldrin was a #Freemason. ”

“It's not helping my #case in #believing in the #moonlandings.”

As a second degree mason (so very new to #Freemasonry ) I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the people and their stated values. I particularly like the requirement for study of religion and the study of the sciences and arts. Very few organizations are wise enough to put importance on both.

The requirements to join Freemasonry I find particularly noble:

• Must be of good moral repore
• Must study and learn the arts & sciences (Math, Astronomy, music, language, and logic are specifically listed).
• Must believe and study god or a higher power.
• Must treat his fellow man with compassion and love

127 years ago today, #Freemason #Filipino-Chinese Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, was executed by #Spain's #Spanish overlords, and Roman #Catholic Church priests, in the #Philippines.

On December 30, 1896, he was walked from his prison in #Intramuros to Bagumbayan (later called: #Luneta and then #RizalPark) in #Manila. It's more or less 2 km by [modern] road.

The main/primary monument for Rizal is located 100m SSE of where he was shot by the #Spaniards.
