Freemason Showdown Prevented World War 3
The Freemason Showdown: MacArthur vs Truman. Freemasonry as a side of this story too!
Both Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur shared the distinction of being prominent figures in American history and were both Freemasons. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, and MacArthur, a five-star general, possessed a bond that extended beyond their shared military endeavors. Both initiated into the Masonic fraternity, they were connected by the principles of Freemasonry: brotherhood, integrity, and service to humanity. Truman's Masonic journey began in 1909 in Belton Lodge No. 450 in Missouri, while MacArthur's was in Manila Lodge No. 1 in the Philippines in 1936.
While their Masonic affiliation didn't directly impact their public roles, the values they shared as Freemasons likely influenced their decisions and interactions in both military and political spheres, reflecting the fraternity's emphasis on moral and ethical conduct in public and private life.
The Truman-MacArthur controversy unfolded against the backdrop of the Korean War, a pivotal moment in Cold War history. General MacArthur's proposal to expand the conflict by attacking Chinese territory, despite Truman's reluctance, reflected broader tensions between containment and military intervention in containing the spread of communism.
Truman's decision to relieve MacArthur of his command was a bold assertion of civilian control over the military, emphasizing the principle of subordination to elected leadership. This action resonated deeply within American politics and military culture, sparking debates about the limits of military authority and the proper balance between civilian oversight and military expertise.
The aftermath of MacArthur's dismissal revealed a complex interplay of factors shaping civil-military relations. While some viewed Truman's action as necessary to maintain democratic governance and prevent military adventurism, others criticized it as a politically motivated infringement on military autonomy.
The subsequent examples of military leaders facing repercussions for public disagreements with government policy underscored the enduring legacy of the Truman-MacArthur controversy. From Major General John Singlaub's dismissal during the Carter administration to General Stanley McChrystal's removal during the Obama era, the episode set a precedent for holding military leaders accountable for actions perceived as undermining civilian authority or national security objectives.
Furthermore, the involvement of retired military officers in presidential politics highlighted the perceived influence of military endorsements on public perception and electoral outcomes. The endorsement of candidates by retired generals and admirals became a recurring feature of presidential campaigns, shaping debates over national security, leadership, and military strategy.
Ultimately, the Truman-MacArthur controversy serves as a landmark moment in American history, illustrating the complexities of civil-military relations, the challenges of military leadership in a democratic society, and the enduring significance of military endorsements in shaping political discourse and electoral outcomes.
One could say that Freemasons set a precedent on relieving Generals of their duties. What say you?

The Story of Freemason, James Cash Penney
The Story of Freemason, James Cash Penney. Penney, the man who built his life on the value of honesty—and it paid off, literally.
Within a decade, he owned 30 more stores. Today, there are 850 JC Penney stores in the US and Puerto Rico.
In the small town of Hamilton, Missouri, on September 16th 1875, James Cash Penney was born to a humble family. Little did they know that their son would one day become a pioneer in the world of retail.
James grew up in a modest household, learning the values of hard work and perseverance from his parents. Despite the family's financial struggles, James excelled in school, showing a natural aptitude for business and a keen eye for detail.
After completing his education, James ventured into the workforce, taking on various jobs to support himself. His determination and work ethic caught the attention of a local merchant, who offered him a job as a store clerk. This marked the beginning of James's journey in the retail industry.
In 1898, Penney began working for a small chain of stores in the Western United States called the Golden Rule stores. In 1902, owners Guy Johnson and Thomas Callahan, impressed by his work ethic and salesmanship, offered him a one-third partnership in a new store he would open.
Penney invested $2,000 to open a store. He participated in opening two more stores, and when Callahan and Johnson dissolved their partnership in 1907 he purchased full interest in all three stores. This would eventually lay the foundation for what would become the iconic JC Penney chain.
Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks along the way, including a devastating fire that destroyed his store, James remained resilient and determined. He believed in providing quality products at affordable prices, a principle that would define the JC Penney brand for generations to come.
He later moved the company to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1913 and incorporated it under the new name. Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, Penney expanded the chain nationwide, experiencing significant growth in both stores and income, with over 1,400 stores and a reported income of more than $1 million annually by 1924.
He was heavily involved in philanthropy during this time. However, the stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression led to financial ruin for Penney. Despite personal setbacks, he continued to actively manage the company, even mentoring individuals like Sam Walton, the future founder of Walmart.
Penney's initially adopted a partnership model gleaned from Callahan, Johnson, and other operators who embraced the Golden Rule ethos. Each store partner received a distinct class of stock tied solely to their store's performance, with dividends correlating to individual store profits.
Despite J. C. Penney's ownership of over 50% of the total stock, achieving uniformity in stock ownership across stores didn't occur until 1927. Meanwhile, a fraction of each store's profits was allocated to its managers.
He was picky of who should represent his brand….we should think of that a lot more in today’s Freemasonry.
Fewer than 5% of applicants met the criteria. J. C. Penney personally interviewed thousands of candidates annually, emphasizing stringent standards akin to the Marine Corps. The company cultivated a sense of camaraderie, akin to lifelong brotherhood.
Employee training programs and an internal magazine, The Dynamo, were instituted gradually. The company also introduced innovative employee benefits and insurance schemes, including provisions for those serving in World Wars.
Managers were expected to play leadership roles within their communities, with a significant portion serving as Chamber of Commerce presidents.
J. C. Penney exhibited an unconventional approach to competition, welcoming the entry of rivals like Sears and Montgomery Ward as catalysts for enhanced market competition and integrity.
The company's ethos emphasized public service, price competitiveness, and adherence to the Golden Rule, epitomized by the acronym H C S C: Honor, Confidence, Service, and Cooperation.
Throughout its rapid growth, Penney maintained a profit-sharing system, ensuring those instrumental in the company's success were duly rewarded. Despite reaching the status of the nation's third-largest non-food retailer, Penney's executives received modest salaries, while profit sharing enabled significant earnings for store managers.
In 1927, Penney envisioned the company achieving billion-dollar sales, a milestone realized in 1951.
Despite enticing merger offers from Sears and Montgomery Ward in 1929, Penney's opted to retain independence, prioritizing its unique culture of sharing and cooperation.
Penney remained chairman of the board until 1946 and served as honorary chairman until 1971.
Penney lived in New York City at 888 Park Avenue, though he spent the winters in Palm Springs, California.
On December 26th 1970, Penney fell and fractured his hip. A few weeks later, he suffered a heart attack and never fully recovered. He died on February 12, 1971. The Reverend Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, also a Freemason, delivered the eulogy at the funeral.
Penney was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx New York City, not far from the grave of fellow retail entrepreneur, F. W. Woolworth. His estate was valued at approximately $35 million. Roughly $2.7 Billion today.
Penney was a Freemason most of his adult life, initiated into Wasatch Lodge number 1 Free in, on April 18th 1911 at the age of 36. He was a member of both the Scottish and York Rites, Penney was coroneted a 33rd Degree on October 16th 1945. He received the Gold Distinguished Service Award by the General Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons in 1958. He typically wore a large ring showing his Masonic degree.
Penney was a member of two professional collegiate fraternities: Alpha Gamma Rho for agriculture and Alpha Kappa Psi for business. Penney was involved with the founding of the University of Miami and served on its Board of Trustees from 1926 to 1930.
In 1953 the Springfield Missouri Chamber of Commerce presented Penney with a "Ozark Hillbilly Medallion" and a certificate proclaiming him a "hillbilly of the Ozarks."
In 1960 Penney teamed up with the University of Missouri to establish the Penney-Missouri Awards to recognize excellence in Women's Page journalism, hoping to improve the sections where his stores most often advertised.

The Freemason Story of John Jacob Astor; Richest Man in the World - S2 E 90a
The Freemason Story of John Jacob Astor; Richest Man in the World - S2 E 90a
John Jacob Astor's childhood was far from lavish. He received only a rudimentary education and started working in his father's butcher shop at a young age. However, young John was not content with a life confined to the small village.
At the age of 16, he left home and ventured to London, where he worked as a musical instrument maker's apprentice, learning the intricacies of commerce and trade. In 1784, Astor set sail for America, arriving in Baltimore with just a few dollars in his pocket and a burning ambition to succeed.
He initially started by trading furs, capitalizing on the burgeoning fur trade in the American West. Astor's keen business acumen and shrewd investments soon propelled him to success. He established the American Fur Company in 1808, which became one of the largest fur trading companies in the country, with trading posts stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Northwest.
Astor's business empire expanded beyond fur trading. He invested heavily in New York City real estate, acquiring vast tracts of land and building iconic structures such as the Astor House hotel. His ventures in the fur trade, real estate, and other industries amassed him a fortune that made him one of the wealthiest individuals in America. As John Jacob Astor's business empire flourished, he found himself entrenched in the competitive landscape of New York City's elite. One notable aspect of his life was his relationship, or rather lack thereof, with the Vanderbilt family.
The Vanderbilts, led by the ambitious Cornelius Vanderbilt, were rising stars in the world of transportation and shipping, posing a formidable challenge to Astor's dominance in New York's business circles. Astor, known for his astute business sense and strategic maneuvering, viewed the Vanderbilts with a mixture of caution and disdain. He perceived them as upstarts, newcomers attempting to disrupt the established order that he had worked so hard to build. Despite their growing influence and wealth, Astor shunned any overtures of collaboration or alliance with the Vanderbilt family.
The rift between Astor and the Vanderbilts deepened as the two families competed for control over various industries, including transportation, real estate, and finance. Astor, ever the shrewd businessman, employed tactics to thwart the Vanderbilts' ambitions, whether through strategic investments, political maneuvering, or outright competition. The animosity between the Astors and the Vanderbilts became a hallmark of New York's social and economic landscape during the 19th century. While the Vanderbilts sought to challenge Astor's dominance, Astor remained steadfast in his determination to maintain his position as one of the city's preeminent figures.
Despite their rivalry, both families left a lasting legacy on New York City and the wider world. The Astor name became synonymous with wealth and influence, while the Vanderbilts established themselves as titans of industry and transportation. Yet, the enmity between these two prominent families serves as a reminder of the fierce competition and intrigue that defined the Gilded Age of American history. John Jacob Astor was also known for his involvement in Freemasonry, a fraternal organization that emphasized moral and spiritual development.
Astor belonged to the Freemasons, a fraternal order, and served as Master of Holland Lodge #8, New York City in 1788. Later he served as Grand Treasurer for the Grand Lodge of New York. He was also the president of the German Society of the City of New York from 1837 to 1841. In his later years, Astor focused on philanthropy, endowing numerous charitable causes and institutions. However, his life was not without tragedy. He suffered personal losses, including the deaths of several children and his beloved wife, Sarah Todd. Despite these hardships, Astor remained resilient, continuing to pursue his business interests and philanthropic endeavors.
On March 29th 1848, John Jacob Astor passed away at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy that would endure for generations.

Inked in History: Tattoos in the United States and Freemasons' Perspective
Tattoos have a rich and vibrant history that stretches back thousands of years, but it was only in the late 18th century that they began to make their mark on the United States. The story of tattoos in America is a tapestry woven with threads of tradition, rebellion, and personal expression. For Freemasons, the relationship with masonic tattoos is complex, as it varies greatly from one individual to another.
The roots of tattooing in the United States can be traced to the indigenous peoples who practiced the art long before European settlers arrived. Native American tribes used tattoos for various purposes, including tribal identification and spiritual significance. It was through interactions with these indigenous communities that early European settlers were introduced to tattooing.
During the American Revolution, tattoos became a symbol of patriotism and loyalty. Soldiers on both sides would often have their initials or regimental symbols inked on their bodies. This marked the beginning of tattoos as a form of personal expression and identity in the country.
In the 19th century, tattooing in the United States gained popularity among sailors, who brought the art form back from their voyages around the world. Tattoos served as a way for sailors to commemorate their travels, experiences, and to identify themselves with their respective branches of service. Common nautical symbols like anchors, ships, and swallows found their way into tattoo parlors across the nation.
The 20th century saw tattoos move from the fringes of society to the mainstream, thanks in part to the influence of famous figures like tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins. Tattoos became fashionable among civilians, and the art form continued to evolve with new styles and techniques.
As for Freemasons and their perspective on masonic tattoos, it's important to note that there is no single viewpoint within the organization. Freemasonry is a diverse and decentralized fraternal organization, and individual members may have varying opinions about tattoos, including those with masonic symbols. Some Freemasons may embrace masonic tattoos as a personal expression of their commitment and affiliation with the fraternity, while others may see them as inappropriate or in violation of traditional practices.
In many cases, Freemasons who choose to get masonic tattoos do so to honor their dedication to the principles and values of the fraternity. Common masonic symbols used in tattoos include the square and compasses, the all-seeing eye, and the pillars of Solomon's Temple.
Ultimately, the history of tattoos in the United States is one of evolving cultural significance and personal expression. It has transcended its origins as a form of tribal identification and has become a means for individuals to tell their own unique stories. Within the world of Freemasonry, attitudes toward masonic tattoos are as diverse as the members themselves, reflecting the individuality and complexity of this ancient and revered fraternity.

All of this conversation started from this email. EMAIL Subject: Information on the Violation of the Sovereignty of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan by the Grand Lodge of Russia
We inform you today of an extremely regrettable and condemnable incident, which we did not consider possible within the framework of our worldwide brotherhood.
The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Russia, Andrei Bogdanov, supported an unconstitutional attempt to seize power in the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, carried out by Sergey Kravchenko. He supported the breakaway lodge in Almaty and announced the arrival of his assistant, Pavel Stroganov.
Pavel Stroganov arrived in Almaty on June 9, 2024, as a representative of the Grand Lodge of Russia and held negotiations with a group of individuals whose membership in the Masonic Order had previously been terminated or suspended (Decree No. 0524-014AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-015AA dated May 19, 2024, and Decree No. 0524-016AA dated May 19, 2024: Rustam Kairbekov, Artem Chernov, Alexander Merlin). The Grand Lodge of Russia was informed in advance about this termination or suspension (letter No. 0724-026 dated July 6, 2024). Two of these individuals (Rustam Kairbekov and Artem Chernov) inflicted physical injuries and moral harm on the Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan on May 18, 2024.
On July 6, 2024, an attempt was made to seize power in the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan by organizing a so-called "assembly" in the city of Almaty. The decree to convene the assembly was issued during the Masonic holidays, without notifying most brothers, the Grand Master, and the Supreme Council of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, violating the Constitution and Regulations of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, and without signatures on the decree.
Andrei Bogdanov conducted the illegal installation of Sergey Kravchenko as the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, who is not a member of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan. Sergey Kravchenko was deprived of his regalia and status (Decree No. 0424-008AA dated April 12, 2024), filed a resignation letter from the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan (letter dated May 2, 2024), and this was confirmed by Decree No. 0524-011AA dated May 2, 2024.
In addition, members in a dormant or irregular status were appointed to the positions of Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan (Decree No. 0524-014AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-015AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-016AA dated May 19, 2024, and Decree No. 0625-021AA dated June 25, 2024).
In total, the irregular assembly was attended by:
- 9 members of the GLK,
- 13 members of the GLR,
- 10 irregular Masons or profanes.
A letterhead with the logo and seal of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan was used to convene the assembly, which is a criminal offense under the Constitution of Kazakhstan and is punishable under Article 385 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 3, 2014, No. 226-V.
Brothers from Kyrgyzstan, representing the Nur Lodge and the Great Silk Road within the Grand Lodge of Russia, were invited to the assembly, which could cause a rift between the two brotherly nations. This will affect the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Kyrgyzstan after its installation.
The actions of the aforementioned individuals and organizations constitute a violation of the sovereignty of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan and disrespect towards the brothers, which is contrary to the spirit of Masonic harmony and the observance of Masonic Landmarks.
We send a complete chronology of events in the attachment.
With heartfelt fraternal greetings,
Dulat K.

EMAIL Subject: Information on the Violation of the Sovereignty of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan by the Grand Lodge of Russia
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Right Worshipful Grand Chancellor, Right Worshipful Grand Secretary,
We inform you today of an extremely regrettable and condemnable incident, which we did not consider possible within the framework of our worldwide brotherhood.
The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Russia, Andrei Bogdanov, supported an unconstitutional attempt to seize power in the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, carried out by Sergey Kravchenko. He supported the breakaway lodge in Almaty and announced the arrival of his assistant, Pavel Stroganov.
Pavel Stroganov arrived in Almaty on June 9, 2024, as a representative of the Grand Lodge of Russia and held negotiations with a group of individuals whose membership in the Masonic Order had previously been terminated or suspended (Decree No. 0524-014AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-015AA dated May 19, 2024, and Decree No. 0524-016AA dated May 19, 2024: Rustam Kairbekov, Artem Chernov, Alexander Merlin). The Grand Lodge of Russia was informed in advance about this termination or suspension (letter No. 0724-026 dated July 6, 2024). Two of these individuals (Rustam Kairbekov and Artem Chernov) inflicted physical injuries and moral harm on the Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan on May 18, 2024.
On July 6, 2024, an attempt was made to seize power in the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan by organizing a so-called "assembly" in the city of Almaty. The decree to convene the assembly was issued during the Masonic holidays, without notifying most brothers, the Grand Master, and the Supreme Council of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, violating the Constitution and Regulations of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, and without signatures on the decree.
Andrei Bogdanov conducted the illegal installation of Sergey Kravchenko as the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan, who is not a member of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan. Sergey Kravchenko was deprived of his regalia and status (Decree No. 0424-008AA dated April 12, 2024), filed a resignation letter from the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan (letter dated May 2, 2024), and this was confirmed by Decree No. 0524-011AA dated May 2, 2024.
In addition, members in a dormant or irregular status were appointed to the positions of Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan (Decree No. 0524-014AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-015AA dated May 19, 2024, Decree No. 0524-016AA dated May 19, 2024, and Decree No. 0625-021AA dated June 25, 2024).
In total, the irregular assembly was attended by:
- 9 members of the GLK,
- 13 members of the GLR,
- 10 irregular Masons or profanes.
A letterhead with the logo and seal of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan was used to convene the assembly, which is a criminal offense under the Constitution of Kazakhstan and is punishable under Article 385 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 3, 2014, No. 226-V.
Brothers from Kyrgyzstan, representing the Nur Lodge and the Great Silk Road within the Grand Lodge of Russia, were invited to the assembly, which could cause a rift between the two brotherly nations. This will affect the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Kyrgyzstan after its installation.
The actions of the aforementioned individuals and organizations constitute a violation of the sovereignty of the Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan and disrespect towards the brothers, which is contrary to the spirit of Masonic harmony and the observance of Masonic Landmarks.
We send a complete chronology of events in the attachment.
With heartfelt fraternal greetings,
Dulat K.
Grand Secretary
Grand Lodge of Kazakhstan

The Masonic Legacy of the Roosevelt Presidents
"The Masonic Legacy of the Roosevelt Presidents"
Explore the intriguing Masonic connections of the Roosevelt family in American history, focusing on Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President, both prominent Freemasons, shared a commitment to Masonic ideals throughout their political careers.
Theodore Roosevelt's dynamic presidency, marked by progressive reforms and controversial foreign policies, showcased a complex legacy. His Masonic affiliations, evident in his initiation into Matinecock Lodge No. 806, influenced his political decisions and resonated with Masonic principles like brotherhood and moral rectitude.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, during his unprecedented four-term presidency, addressed the Great Depression and World War II with bold economic reforms and foreign policy decisions. While his Masonic ties were less prominent than Theodore's, his membership in Holland Lodge No. 8 reflected the family's enduring commitment to Masonic principles.
The video delves into the successes and controversies of both Roosevelt presidents, highlighting the impact of Masonic ideals on their policies. It draws parallels between Theodore's conservation efforts and Franklin's New Deal programs, showcasing how Masonic principles of equality and charity influenced their governance.
The Masonic legacy of the Roosevelt presidents serves as a testament to the enduring influence of fraternal bonds and shared principles on the course of a nation. The video concludes with a nod to the Old Fashion Masonic Podcast's belief in the positive impact of Freemasonry on global stability.

US Army Birthday and Famous Freemason In The Army - S2 Special Edition
US Army Birthday and Famous Freemason In The Army - S2 Special Edition
The United States Army is the land service branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services, and is designated as the Army of the United States in the U.S. Constitution.
The Army is the oldest branch of the U.S. military and the most senior in order of precedence. It has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775 to fight against the British for independence during the American Revolutionary War.
The U.S. Army is a uniformed service of the United States and is part of the Department of the Army, which is one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense.
Let’s talk about some badasses now!
The United States Army Special Operations Command is the command charged with overseeing the various special operations forces of the United States Army. Headquartered at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, (Formerly Fort Bragg before we all got woke), it is the largest component of the United States Special Operations Command.
At Fort Bragg, yeah I said it, the 82nd Airborne, the 3rd Special Forces Group and the secretive Delta Force is all based here.
Now let’s talk about some door kickers! The Rangers.
The Army Rangers have a rich history beginning before the Revolutionary War, with units formed by Captain Benjamin Church and Major Robert Rogers.
In the War of 1812, Ranger companies patrolled from Ohio to Illinois. During the Civil War, John Singleton Mosby became a famous Confederate Ranger. After a hiatus, Rangers reemerged in World War II, with six battalions trained using British Commando standards, and were led by Colonel William Darby. These battalions fought in North Africa, Normandy, and the Philippines, with notable actions at Pointe du Hoc and the rescue at Cabanatuan.
In 1974, the modern 75th Ranger Regiment was established, with battalions participating in significant operations like the Iranian hostage rescue, Grenada, Panama, and the Gulf War. In 1993, they fought in Somalia, exemplified by the Battle of Mogadishu.
After September 11th, Rangers led the Global War on Terrorism, conducting missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2006, the Regimental Special Troops Battalion was activated to support sustained operations. Today, the 75th Ranger Regiment continues to lead global combat operations and trains the next generation of Rangers.
George Washington - First President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
Andrew Jackson - Seventh President of the United States and a Major General in the U.S. Army.
Douglas MacArthur - Five-star General and Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s, played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II.
Albert Pike - Brigadier General in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, also known for his significant role in Freemasonry.
Benedict Arnold - Initially a General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War before defecting to the British Army.
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson - Confederate General during the American Civil War, renowned for his tactical acumen.
Omar Bradley - A senior U.S. Army field commander in North Africa and Europe during World War II and a General of the Army.
Creighton Abrams - Commander of military operations in the Vietnam War from 1968–72, Chief of Staff of the United States Army.
Frederick E. Davison - A Major General in the U.S. Army, the first African-American Major General in the Army.
Audie Murphy was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He served in the European Theater of Operations, fighting in campaigns in Italy, France, and Germany.
Audie Murphy received 33 awards and medals, including every major U.S. combat award for valor available at the time. These include:
The Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart.
Murphy received the Medal of Honor for his actions on January 26, 1945, near Holtzwihr, France. Despite being wounded, he single-handedly held off an entire company of German soldiers for an hour, then led a successful counterattack.
After the war, Murphy became an actor, starring in more than 40 films.
He also became a spokesperson for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), then referred to as "battle fatigue" or "shell shock".

General Douglas MacArthur: A Freemason Biography
Douglas MacArthur, born into a military family in 1880, was deeply influenced by his upbringing and became an iconic figure in American military history. His early life was marked by frequent relocations due to his father's military assignments, but it instilled in him a sense of duty and a passion for military strategy.
Educated at various schools and West Point, MacArthur excelled academically and graduated at the top of his class in 1903. His military career was marked by rapid ascension through the ranks, particularly during World War I, where he became the youngest major general in the Army.
His leadership shone during World War II as Supreme Commander in the Pacific, orchestrating successful campaigns against Japanese forces, notably fulfilling his promise to liberate the Philippines. Despite controversial decisions, like the island-hopping strategy, his leadership significantly contributed to the Allies' victory.
Speculation about his Freemasonry affiliation remains inconclusive, despite connections to ceremonial events and influential circles.
Post-World War II, MacArthur played a crucial role in reconstructing Japan but faced controversy during the Korean War, leading to his dismissal in 1951 due to disagreements with President Truman.
Despite his controversial end, MacArthur remains revered for his strategic brilliance and commitment to duty. His legacy as a military leader and his complex persona continue to captivate historians and military scholars, solidifying his place in American history.

Freemason with 1,000 Voices
Mel Blanc: The Man of a Thousand Voices
Mel Blanc: The Man of a Thousand Voices
The Early Years:
Born in San Francisco on May 30, 1908, Melvin Jerome Blanc was destined for a life full of vibrant characters and legendary voices.
He was the second child born to his parents, Frederick Harvey Blank and Eva Katz Blank. The early years of Mel’s childhood were in San Francisco’s Western Addition neighborhood before his family moved to Portland, Oregon.
His affinity for music and performing was innate, and he began practicing different voices and dialects when he was just ten years old. He was quite a musician too. He used his extraordinary talent to entertain his friends at school and even earn a buck.
Show Business:
In June of 1923, when Mel was just 15, he landed his first job as a radio performer, singing on KGW’s Stories by Aunt Nell, a weekday program for children.
While his abilities delighted his friends at school and were enough to secure work, his teachers were less impressed by his talent. It is reported that a formative moment came when he was 16 and a student at Portland’s Lincoln High School.
Blanc claimed a teacher told him that his future was “blank,” just like his name, prompting the youngster to change the spelling of his name as soon as possible. But before he became the iconic voice behind beloved animated characters, he had quite the unexpected start.
In his youth, Mel was more fascinated with mechanical objects than showbiz. He even dismantled his family's phonograph to understand its mechanics, much to his parents' dismay!
It wasn't long before his gift for vocal acrobatics found its way into some of the most memorable animated characters in history.
Mel Blanc's repertoire of voices is a symphony of hilarity and nostalgia.
The Cartoon Iconic Was Born:
By 1936, Blanc began working in cartoons. The first cartoon he voiced came out in 1937 when he voiced a drunken bull.
In 1940 he voiced for the first time his most recognizable character Bugs Bunny. To keep his timing correct while voicing Bugs he bit a carrot, which he immediately spit into a spittoon.
It has been claimed Blanc was allergic to carrots, Blanc himself denied it. Blanc briefly voiced Woody Woodpecker, developing Woody's signature laugh.
After signing an exclusive contract with Warner Brothers, he stopped working for Universal who owned Woody Woodpecker.
From there, Blanc began doing voices for other cartoons. He worked for Hanna-Barbera voicing such well known characters as Barney Rubble from The Flintstones and Cosmo Spacely from The Jetson's.
In addition to Bugs Bunny, he brought life to incredible characters like: Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, and countless other beloved cartoon characters.
Mel Blanc amassed over 1,000 acting and voice credits throughout his career, and, even more impressively, he created and performed nearly 400 distinct character voices.
His ability to imbue each character with unique quirks and personalities made him a household name. However, behind the scenes, Blanc had another affiliation: Freemasonry.
His Masonic Affilications:
He was indeed a member of the Freemasons, adding an extra layer of mystery to this man of many talents. Perhaps he found the secret to channeling such diverse characters in the magic teachings of the Masonic order—well, it's a fun thought!
At age 17, Mel joined the DeMolay in 1925. In 1966, he received the Legion of Honor, an award given to members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and can be implicitly relied upon to help young men carrying the ideals of DeMolay into every walk of life.
On April 27, 1987, 62 years after joining DeMolay International, Blanc was inducted into their Hall of Fame.
He then commented, “I have been a member of DeMolay for 63 years. I thank God and DeMolay for helping me become kind and thoughtful to my parents and all my friends. I had many opportunities to do the wrong things, and I might have done them if it were not for DeMolay. God bless them.”
His positive experience in DeMolay likely set him up for his long and fruitful journey as a Freemason later in life. In 1931, he joined Mid-Day Lodge Number 188 in Portland and enthusiastically embarked on his Masonic journey.
Twenty years later, at age 43, Blanc joined the Scottish Rite Valley of Los Angeles, taking his degrees from June 14 through June 16, 1951. Two weeks later, he joined Al Malaikah Shrine Temple in Los Angeles.
In his autobiography, he wrote, “When I was a teenager, I used to pass by the Portland Shrine Hospital located not far from my parent’s home. Hearing about the work they did with crippled children was what initially piqued my interest in the fellowship and prompted me to seek admission.”
On May 19, 1989, he checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center when his family noticed he had a bad cough while shooting a commercial.
Initially, he was expected to recover, but his condition deteriorated due to advanced coronary artery disease.
He spent nearly two months in the hospital, and after 66 years of bringing to life hundreds of beloved cartoon characters, passed to the Celestial Lodge on July 10, 1989, at the age of 81.
He left behind a legacy that continues to echo through the halls of animation.
His gravestone fittingly reads, "That's All Folks!"—a poignant tribute to the man who brought joy and laughter to generations through his unparalleled vocal genius.
Mel Blanc's life was a whirlwind of mechanical tinkering, vocal gymnastics, and Masonic secrets, cementing his place as the cornerstone of animated entertainment and forever ensconcing him in the annals of comedic history.

His tenure on the Supreme Court was marked by landmark cases, notably Brown v. Board of Education, which ended school segregation.
He later led the Warren Commission, investigating JFK's assassination. Despite criticism and controversy over his progressive decisions, Warren remained dedicated to justice and equality.
Outside his legal career, Warren was affiliated with various fraternal organizations, notably the Freemasons, holding significant positions. In his later years, he advocated for social causes, monitored the Watergate scandal, and passed away in 1974 at the age of 83.

The Masonic Roots of Memorial Day: Uncovering the Truth – S2 E81
The Masonic Roots of Memorial Day: Uncovering the Truth
Memorial Day, a cherished occasion where we honor the Heroes who've served our nation. As we approach Memorial Day weekend, it's fitting to delve into the story of the Freemason instrumental in shaping this national observance. Originally known as Decoration Day, this solemn day of remembrance traces back to the tradition of adorning graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags. General John Logan's proclamation in 1868 marked the widespread observance of Memorial Day, with a significant contribution from Freemason James Garfield, a former Union General.
During the inaugural Memorial Day commemoration, Garfield, along with 5,000 participants, paid tribute at Arlington National Cemetery, a Masonic undertaking that honored over 20,000 fallen soldiers from both sides of the Civil War. This pivotal event catalyzed nationwide efforts to honor and remember the sacrifices of our servicemen and women, echoing the Masonic principles of fraternity and service.
In subsequent years, Memorial Day gained legal recognition, with New York leading the way in 1873. Over time, it evolved into a day of remembrance for all fallen soldiers across America's wars, firmly establishing itself as a national holiday. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1971 solidified its observance on the last Monday of May.
At Arlington National Cemetery, a solemn ceremony ensues each Memorial Day, symbolized by the placement of small American flags on each grave and the traditional wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by dignitaries, including Presidents and Vice Presidents. It's a poignant moment for all Americans, reflecting on the bravery and sacrifice of those who've served.
Delving into the life of John Alexander Logan, we uncover a multifaceted figure—soldier, politician, and Freemason. Logan's legacy extends beyond his military and political endeavors; he played a pivotal role in establishing Memorial Day as an official holiday. Raised in Mitchell Lodge Number 85 of Pinckneyville, Illinois, Logan's Masonic journey exemplifies the values of brotherhood and service.
Logan's contributions to Freemasonry were significant, culminating in his reception of the 32nd degree in Oriental Consistory in 1880. His Masonic affiliations, including Washington Chapter Number 43, Royal Arch Masons, and Chevalier Bayard Commandery Number 52, Knights Templar, underscore his commitment to Masonic ideals.
Despite his achievements, Logan's life was not without challenges. His untimely death in 1886 left a void, but his legacy endures, both within Freemasonry and in the broader American consciousness.
