1/8 There seem to be a lot of misconceptions re: Freemasons.
It’s fascinating how instantly people jump on the bandwagon to hate them while crying “use discernment!” and “open your eyes and wake up!” - w/o applying the same principles of wisdom to this topic.
Let’s explore…
2/8 “What the #pope actually said was that the #SalvationArmy, the #Baptist church, the #Buddhists, and the #Mormons—in fact, every member of the human race who was not a Roman #Catholic—was part of the “kingdom of Satan.”
(All quotes from “Born in Blood” by John J. Robinson)
3/8 “What the pope actually complained of was the separation of church and state, but once again, we’ll let the pope speak for himself, remembering that when he uses the word church, he means the Roman Catholic church only:”
4a/8 “The pope was horrified at the idea that people should make laws to govern themselves rather than be obedient to the rulers who were given divine command when anointed by the church.”
4b/8 “In that respect, Humanum Genus was every bit as much a condemnation of the Constitution of the United States as it was of Freemasonry.”
5/8 “It is tyranny to keep men subject to any other authority than that which emanates from themselves. Hence the people are sovereign; those who rule have no authority but by…the people; so that they can be deposed, willing or unwilling, according to the wishes of the people.”
6a/8 “That’s what the “kingdom of Satan” was doing in Humanum Genus: it was depriving the church of authority and privilege, and sometimes property as well, by replacing church-approved sovereigns with democratic rule.”
6b/8 “Humanum Genus blamed naturalists, men who wanted to substitute reasoning for the teachings of the church and who taught that laws should be made “by just the consent of the governed.”
6c/8 “The church is actually condemning this Masonic acceptance of men of all religious beliefs in the face of the fact that all religions except Roman Catholicism had been declared false:”
7/8 “[Pope Leo XIII] truly believed that democracy was evil, part of the “kingdom of Satan,” and that the Catholic church had a right and duty to oversee every secular government.”
8/8 “And there we have the apparently irreconcilable difference between Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church.”
“Those condemnations are almost totally political and economic.”
“The pope simply confused Freemasonry with all non-Catholics.”

For easy reference later, if you enjoyed this thread, you’ll probably also want to read this thread series as well.
🧵How many times have you learned about some historic figure and their silent heroics championing your rights and freedoms only after they’ve died?
In our age of debating internet privacy and parameters, let’s revisit an old friend you likely never knew - John Perry Barlow. 🇺🇸
JPB was a prolific essayist, a rancher, and periodic lyricist for the Grateful Dead. A lifelong participant in “counterculture”, JPB was led by his innate moral code- supporting, then rejecting, political candidates across the aisle based on their alignment with his core beliefs.
An outspoken cyberlibertarian, Barlow’s reputation grew when he cofounded the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in 1990 to promote internet civil liberties.
It is worth noting that oft-forgotten Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak was a fellow EFF cofounder and board member.
🚨🚨🌊🧵 Over the past year, I’ve collaboratively dug on similarities between Covid + radiation poisoning w/ @armygir36701799 + @Marie17cf.
Their research led to Zeolite and Celtic sea salt as remedies against heavy metal toxicity.
It’s time to talk about how algae factors in…
2/ I first owe one caveat to this conversation: Regardless of your political ideologies, my research was prompted (not grounded) in part by the Q drops. So, I’ll make some references to those, but only to knit threads of my keyword searches and thought process together. Humor me.
3/ Much of the radiation research was inspired by the sentiment “Watch the Water”.
Columbia University found that 2/3 of all municipal tap water in the US is found to be contaminated with “disproportionately elevated” levels of uranium in countless areas.
Over 2023, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have seemingly exploded into existence - opening the year w/the introduction of ChatGPT, and wrapping up with the recent addition of Grok.
But are their responses trustworthy? A 🧵on Data Pools and Training Sets…
2/ So what is AI/ML? Many hear the term AI and imagine muscled, killer robots or social media ad prompts that make you wonder who's listening in. In reality AI/ML is far more than those extreme options, returning us to the question, "what is AI?" Let’s start with some background:
3/ TechTarget defines AI as "the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision."

1/17 What makes the first 10 (really 11) Constitutional amendments in the Bill of Rights so profound and essential?
Because not only had they each been trampled and lost before. But because 250 years ago, White Hats said “this can never happen again.”
Let’s explore further… 🧵
2/17 If you can’t tell the people but you “must show them” - sound familiar? It was probably oft on the lips of our forefathers.
Many are familiar with the stories of early pilgrims and colonists, seeking religious freedom and greater autonomy in the wilds of the “New World”.
3/17 A quick examination of history provides explanation for the importance of popular amendments like the 1st, protecting freedom of speech, press, religion, AND the right to peaceably assemble.
1/ Thoughts on Precipices and the Importance of the Favor of the People
A king, a leader is only as powerful as the people allow/permit (him) to be. Sure we can fling “consent of the governed” comments and quote the Decl. about overthrowing tyrants.
But it’s so much bigger…
2/ Let’s step back in time.
Many people don’t realize Henry VIII deserves heavy credit for initiating the Reformation in England.
In short the Roman Catholic Church had been operating for centuries as the premiere power over nations and sovereigns alike, even across continents.
3/ Henry VIII decides after 24 yrs of marriage to his first wife that he’s ready for wife no. 2 who can hopefully provide a male heir. (Passing on an inheritance to posterity is after all, an innate human value.)
The Pope won’t support Henry’s request for annulment and new wife.
