YUGE Thread 🧵: We know the cult which runs the world are humanists or lucifierian, practicing the lucifierian doctrine that through illumination man himself can become a god. So who is the “American Humanist Association (AHA)”?

The American Humanist Association (AHA) is a religious advocacy organization that promotes secularism and non-theism views within the United States. The AHA has previously taken part in controversial anti-religious litigation and advertising campaigns. AHA has also advocated in favor of left-of-center policy towards abortion access and environmentalism.

Background:

The American Humanist Association (AHA) traces its roots back to 1920s, when the secular-humanist ideology began to formally organize in the United States. A group of University of Chicago professors formed the Humanist Fellowship, while a former Unitarian minister formed the First Humanist Society of New York. Early humanist organizations rejected traditional religious beliefs and instead “incorporated various aspects of naturalism, materialism, rationalism, and socialism” to establish a non-theist religious organization.

After the publishing of the Humanist Manifesto in 1933, the American Humanist Association (AHA) was formed in 1941. AHA pivoted to the political and cultural issues of church-state separation, abortion access, and feminism.

AHA gained significant media attention in the 1970s after the publication of Humanist Manifesto II was featured in a front-page New York Times article. In the following decades, AHA launched a campaign of media appearances and began to devote resources to political lobbying and litigation against perceived violations of church-state separation. AHA also expanded its Humanist magazine and launched large-scale advertising campaigns.

AS of 2022, AHA claimed to have a network of over 200 local chapters and affiliates in the United States.

Issues

Abortion:

The American Humanist Association (AHA) has maintained a pro-abortion platform since its founding, claiming to have been instrumental in the formation of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and NARAL Pro-Choice America, and having named Margaret Sanger its Humanist of the Year in 1957. AHA signed onto a pro-abortion amicus brief for the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

Race and Gender Issues:

The American Humanist Association (AHA) advocates for critical race theory-aligned notions of equity, describing its efforts as “liberation of marginalized communities” and “disrupting various oppressive systems like cis-heteronormativity, white supremacy, and patriarchy.” AHA includes its advocacy against capital punishment in its “social justice” efforts.

Thread 🧵: Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine aka The @shriners.

Shriners International, formally known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (AAONMS), is an American Masonic society. Founded in 1872 in New York City, it is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and has over 200 chapters across nine countries, with a global membership of nearly 1.7 million "Shriners". The organization is known for its colorful Middle Eastern theme, elaborate participation in parades and festivals, and the Shriners Children's network of nonprofit pediatric medical facilities.

Shriners International describes itself as a global fraternity"based on fun, fellowship, and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth". As an appendant body within Freemasonry, membership is open to men who have been initiated as Master Masons in a Masonic rite; various partner organizations accept women and youth. Shriners are obliged to uphold the fraternity's mission and values, which include self-improvement, service and leadership to the community, and active involvement in social and philanthropic causes.

Shriners International is recognizable for its Middle Eastern-inspired iconography, ceremonies, and motif: Shriners wear distinctive red fezzes as their official headgear, while fraternal regalia often features camels, pyramids, the Sphinx and other ancient Egyptian and Arabian symbols. The headquarters of local chapters, formally known as Shrine Centers, are sometimes called "Temples" or even "Mosques"; most have names such as Egypt, Sahara, Morocco, and Oasis, and many are built in the Moorish Revival style. The organization is governed by the "Imperial Divan"—referring to the traditional government councils of the Near East—composed of 12 "Imperial Officers" who serve as a board of directors. However, Shriners International has no connection with the region nor with Islam.

Previously known as Shriners North America, the fraternity adopted its current name in 2010 in recognition of its increasingly global membership; as of 2024, there are Shrine Centers in Canada (since 1888), Mexico (1907) and Panama (1918), Puerto Rico, the Philippines (2010), Germany (2011), Brazil (2015) and Bolivia (2018).

Notable American Shriners include FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, actors Mel Blanc, John Wayne, Ernest Borgnine, and Roy Rogers, Supreme Court chief justice Earl Warren, General Douglas MacArthur, and presidents Gerald Ford and Harry Truman.

History:

In 1870, there were several thousand Freemasons in Manhattan, many of whom lunched at the Knickerbocker Cottage at a special table on the second floor. There, the idea of a new fraternity for Masons, stressing fun and fellowship, was discussed. Together, Walter M. Fleming and William J. Florenceestablished a separate fellowship to fulfill those ideals.

While on tour in Marseille, Florence, an actor, was invited to a party given by an Arab diplomat. The entertainment was a musical comedy. At its conclusion, the guests became members of a secret society. Florence took notes and drawings at his initial viewing and on two other occasions, once in Algiers and once in Cairo. When he returned to New York in 1870, he showed his material to Fleming.

Fleming created the ritual, emblem and costumes. Florence and Fleming were initiated August 13, 1870, and they initiated 11 men on June 16, 1871.

The group adopted a Middle Eastern theme and soon established Temple, although the term Temple has now been replaced by Shrine Auditorium or Shrine Center. The first Temple established was Mecca Temple, established at the New York City Masonic Hall on September 26, 1872. Fleming was the first potentate.

In 1875, there were 43 Shriners in the organization. To encourage membership, the Imperial Grand Council of the Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America was created at the June 6, 1876 meeting of Mecca Temple. Fleming was elected the first imperial potentate. By 1878, there were 425 members in 13 temples in eight states, and by 1888, there were 7,210 members in 48 temples in the United States and Canada. By the Imperial Session held in Washington, D.C., in 1900, there were 55,000 members and 82 Temples.

History continued;

Black Shrine:

Historically, the Shrine was open to only white men. In 1893, a black counterpart to the Shriners movement was initiated by John G. Jones and other Prince Hall masons, initially called The Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine of North and South America and Its Jurisdictions. Early in the group's history, there was legal conflict between the white and black orders, with a white order from Texas filing suit against a local black order for infringement of white Shriners regalia and traditions. The white order was initially successful in quashing the black temple until the ruling was overturned in appeals in 1929, protecting the right of black Shriners to continue practicing and fundraising nationwide. The Worldwide Fraternal Shrine Family counts 35,000 members in 227 shrines, with its own women's auxiliary organizations. Their primary recipients of charitable donations are the NAACP, the National Urban League, the UNCF, and various hospitals and universities.

Syria Mosque:

In 1911, the Syria Mosque was completed in Pittsburgh and inaugurated in 1916. This 3,700-seat performance venue, originally for Shriners, later became significant as the "birthplace of network television." An example of Exotic Revival architecture, it was never used as a mosque but featured religious Arabic iconography and inscriptions, partly based on the Alhambra. Architect Gulzar Haider was "fascinated" by its design, but criticized the "insensitive and callous misuse of another religion’s artistic vocabulary and symbolic grammar," claiming it was part of the "'oriental obsession' of the otherwise 'puritanical' Europeans and Americans."

Musicians who have performed at the Syria Mosque include Bruce Springsteen, Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Buffett, and The Beach Boys. Political event hosts included Reagan, Nixon, Truman, and Kennedy. Despite efforts to conserve the building as a historic landmark, the Syria Mosque was torn down in 1991.

Women's auxiliaries:

The Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America was founded in 1903 in Wheeling, West Virginia, and the Daughters of the Nile was founded in 1913 in Seattle, Washington. Both are for women only and they support the Shriners Hospitals and promote sociability. Membership in either organization is open to any woman 18 years of age and older who is related to a Shriner or Master Mason by birth or marriage. The latter organization has local branches called "Temples," and there were ten of these in 1922. Among the famous members of the Daughters of the Nile was First Lady Florence Harding, wife of Warren G. Harding.

Epstein’s Michigan connection. Thread 🧵: Epstein Had His Own Lodge at Interlochen’s Prestigious Arts Camp for Kids from The Daily Beast 7-11-2019

Since Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest for allegedly trafficking underage girls, authorities have cast a spotlight on his massive wealth and many properties, including his New Yorkand Florida mansions, New Mexico ranch, private isle in the Virgin Islands and apartment in France.

But during the 1990s, Epstein apparently had another getaway at a Michigan cabin. There, the 66-year-old financier was a donor to the revered Interlochen Center for the Arts, a fine arts boarding school and camp, and had bankrolled the “Jeffrey Epstein Scholarship Lodge” on its campus.

Indeed, The Daily Beast has discovered that Epstein listed this rental lodge in hisinfamous Little Black Book—a veritable rolodex of famous faces, from President Donald Trump and his lawyer Alan Dershowitz, to Harvey Weinstein’s brother, Bob, and even Courtney Love. The address book also contained the names of a pair of students who had attended Interlochen.

Beside the words “Michigan Home” and “Epstein Lodge” in the Little Black Book were the P.O. Box and address for Interlochen, along with three area phone numbers.

And in August 1998, Epstein and his alleged madam, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, took a five-day jaunt to Traverse City, Michigan, which is a short drive from the school, along with two other passengers, according to flight records.

The academy and summer camp, a gem in the quiet woods of northern Michigan, is known for churning out world-famous talent. Interlochen’s star-studded alumniinclude musicians like Jewel, Josh Groban and Norah Jones, comedian Maria Bamford, “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan, and actors Terry Crews and Felicity Huffman.

Epstein also counted himself as an alumnus. Katharine Laidlaw, Interlochen’s Vice President of Strategic Communications and Engagement, told The Daily Beast he attended Interlochen’s “National Music Camp” in 1967. His course of study was Bassoon/Orchestra/Radio, Laidlaw said.

Laidlaw said Epstein is no longer an Interlochen donor, and that his last gift to the school was in 2003. “After the administration learned of his conviction, Interlochen discontinued contact with Mr. Epstein and removed all donor recognition with his name,” Laidlaw said in an email, referring to Epstein’s 2008 plea to soliciting underage girls in Florida.

She said Interlochen has no record of any complaint lodged against Epstein and that the school’s “policies would not have permitted Mr. Epstein any unsupervised access to students.”

According to records reviewed by The Daily Beast, Epstein not only funded the scholarship lodge, but hosted events for Interlochen alumni at his New York office and his seven-story townhouse—which was raided by the feds over the weekend. It’s also where Epstein is accused of forcibly raping a 15-year-old girl in 2002. Jennifer Araoz, now 32, came forward this week with claims that Epstein began sexually assaulting her there when she was 14.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Araoz said she wanted to become a Broadway actress and discussed that dream with Epstein, whose recruiter allegedly targeted Araoz at her performing arts high school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Araoz was vulnerable, having lost her father to AIDS when she was 12 years old. Epstein talked of donating to AIDS charities and assisting her career with his acting and modeling industry contacts. According to Araoz, Epstein suggested she was “very lucky to have met somebody like him” and “that he could really help me.”

This isn’t the first time Epstein has been accused of preying on an arts student.

The mother of soap opera actress Nadia Bjorlin claimed Epstein targeted her daughter when she was a 13-year-old student at Interlochen in 1994.

“She was at school at the famed Interlochen Music Center in Michigan when she met Epstein,” Fary Bjorlin told The Daily Mail in 2011, adding, “My daughter was a singer. She was a baby. She was a skinny little girl, not mature for her age. She was 13, but everyone thought she was nine or ten.”

Fary said she believed Nadia was an easy target for Epstein because the girl’s father, classical conductor Ulf Bjorlin, died the year before. “Epstein was a big donor and he heard about Nadia and that her father had died, so she was vulnerable, and he contacted her. He said, ‘Here’s my number,’ Fary said, according to The Daily Mail.

Asked about Fary’s claims, Laidlaw said, “I can verify that Nadia Bjorlin is an alumna of Interlochen Arts Camp. We have no information about the events that have been reported in this article. As stated, we have no record of any complaint raised against Mr. Epstein at Interlochen.”

Fary, Nadia and her manager did not return messages left by The Daily Beast. Two of Epstein’s attorneys did not return requests for comment.

Fary said Maxwell got to know her and Nadia, and tried to set up a meeting with Nadia and Epstein, who wanted to mentor her. “I trusted Ghislaine, she was like a mother. She was always calling my house,” Fary told the British tabloid.

Big Thread 🧵: French Rite of Freemasonry

The French Rite (French: Rite français) is one of the oldest masonic rites, and the most widely practiced in France and Belgium. It is the direct heir and one of the best preserved ritual of speculative masonry as practiced by the Premier Grand Lodge of London in the early 18th century. Today, it is primarily practiced by over 900 lodges of the Grand Orient de France and by the Grande Loge Nationale Française, making it the predominant rite in France, it is also worked in several other masonic jurisdictions worldwide.

The French Rite consists of seven degrees: three "blue" or craft degrees (Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason) and four additional Orders of Wisdom (Ordres de Sagesse), which were codified between 1781 and 1786 by the Grand Orient de France. It is characterized by its simplicity of ceremony, its emphasis on both tradition and progressive philosophical thinking, and its maintenance of practices from early speculative masonry that have been modified or abandoned in other jurisdictions.

Historically significant, the French Rite underwent several major transformations, notably in 1877 with the removal of religious requirements, establishing the principle of absolute freedom of conscience. Today, it exists in several variants, including the Groussier Rite, the Modern French Rite, and the Philosophical French Rite, each reflecting different approaches to masonic tradition and philosophy.

Unlike many other masonic rites, the French Rite maintains several distinctive features from early speculative masonry, including the placement of both Wardens in the West and the use of three large candlesticks in specific positions within the lodge. These characteristics, along with its historical development and philosophical orientation, make it a unique repository of early masonic practices while remaining adaptable to contemporary societal evolution.

History

Origins (1725-1750):

The French Rite traces its origins to the introduction of speculative Freemasonry in France around 1725. As recorded by Jérôme de Lalande in his "Mémoire historique sur la Maçonnerie" (1777), the first documented lodge was established in Paris by English Freemasons, including "Milord Dervent-Waters, the chevalier Maskelyne, d'Heguerty, and several other Englishmen." This lodge met at Hurre's tavern, an English establishment in the Rue des Boucheries. Within a decade, it had attracted between five and six hundred members, leading to the establishment of additional lodges including Goustaud's (run by an English lapidary), the Louis d'Argent lodge, and the Bussy lodge (later renamed Aumont lodge when the Duke of Aumont became its Master).

The earliest French masonic practices are documented in a 1737 police report commissioned by René Hérault, Lieutenant General of Police in Paris. The report, obtained through surveillance involving a police informant known as Mademoiselle Carton, provides the first detailed description of French masonic ceremony. This document reveals that early French masonic ritual closely followed English "Premiere Grand Lodge" practices, including specific elements such as: The examination of candidates left to their reflection in a darkened chamber for about an hour, The removal of metals and partial disrobing and other ritualistic practices still used to this day.

Despite opposition from both civil and religious authorities, including a police ordinance in 1737 and Pope Clement XII's bull "In Eminenti" in 1738, French Freemasonry continued to grow. By 1742, there were twenty-two lodges in Paris and a similar number in the provinces.

Development and Codification (1773-1786):

A crucial period in the development of the French Rite began with the reformation of French Freemasonry in 1772-1773 and the formation of the Grand Orient de France (GODF). This reorganization established the principle of collective sovereigntyof blue lodges and introduced the election of Worshipful Masters by secret ballot, marking a significant departure from previous practices. Between 1781 and 1786, the GODF undertook the systematic codification of ritual practices. This work was primarily led by Alexandre-Louis Roëttiers de Montaleau (1748-1808), who was initiated in 1774 at the Lodge of Friendship in Paris. The Chamber of Degrees (Chambre des Grades) was established to harmonize ritual practices while preserving their "ancient purity." This effort culminated in the adoption of standardized rituals for the three craft degrees in July and August 1785. A significant development occurred in 1784 when a group of 80 Brothers, including 27 GODF Officers, created the Grand Chapitre Général du Rite Français. This body was formally integrated into the GODF on February 17, 1786, by a vote of 39 to 7. The integration established a complete system of seven degrees: the three craft degrees plus four Orders of Wisdom (Élu, Écossais, Chevalier d'Orient, and Rose-Croix). The Orders were carefully structured to provide a philosophical progression while avoiding excessive "sacerdotal" elements.

Revolutionary Period and First Empire (1789-1815):

The French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic period brought significant challenges to the French Rite's development. While masonic activity was curtailed during the Revolution, the GODF resumed operations under the Consulate and Empire, experiencing what some historians describe as a "golden age." However, this period also saw the beginning of the rite's transformation. The emergence of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR) in 1804 presented a significant challenge to the French Rite's system of high degrees. The attractiveness of the AASR's additional degrees, particularly the 30th (Kadosh) and 33rd degrees, led many chapters to transition to the Scottish Rite system. While the French Rite remained predominant in blue lodges, its Orders of Wisdom entered a period of decline that would last for nearly 150 years.

Nineteenth Century Evolution:

The nineteenth century brought significant philosophical and structural changes to the French Rite. Between 1849 and 1877, the rite underwent a fundamental transformation regarding its relationship with religion. In 1849, the GODF had adopted principles requiring belief in God and the immortality of the soul. However, in 1877, these requirements were removed, establishing the principle of absolute freedom of conscience. This decision led to a break in relations with the United Grand Lodge of England, which viewed this change as a deviation from traditional masonic principles.

From 1887 onward, physical trials and certain symbolic elements were gradually replaced by rationalist discourses. However, this period also saw the development of various paramasonic practices, including funeral ceremonies, spousal recognitions, adoptions, and white (public) ceremonies (Private white ceremonies and public white ceremonies). In 1922, new closing formulas were introduced that remain in use today.

Modern Revival and Development (1938-Present):

A significant revival of the French Rite began under Arthur Groussier (1863-1957), who was initiated in 1885 at the Lodge L'Émancipation. As Grand Master of the GODF from 1925 to 1945, Groussier led a restoration of the rite's symbolic and initiatic character. His revised version of the ritual, adopted by the Council of the Order in 1938 and widely distributed in 1955, reintroduced many traditional elements while adapting them to contemporary sensibilities.[17] The late twentieth century saw renewed interest in the complete French Rite system. In 1999, the GODF formally reconstituted the Grand Chapitre Général, restoring the original system of three degrees and four Orders of Wisdom. Today, the French Rite exists in several forms:

•The Modern French Rite (closest to the original English practice, Modern is an allusion to the premiere grand Lodge)

•The Groussier Rite (considered the most secular version)

•The Restored Modern French Rite (seeking to recover 18th-century practices)

•The Traditional French Rite (also known as the Franco-Belgian Rite, rituals that were preserved in Belgium and returned to France)

•The Philosophical French Rite (adopted by GODF in 2002)

The French Rite remains the predominant form of Masonry within the GODF and French Freemasonry as a whole, in the GODF is it practiced by over 900 lodges. It has expanded beyond France's borders it is the dominant rite in Belgium, Luxembourg, and is practiced in South and North America,[18]Southern and Central Europe, and Africa, demonstrating its continued vitality and adaptability to different cultural contexts.

Thread 🧵: Li bloodline, @UniofMich, @michiganstateu, and Wuhan?

Funny how @gretchenwhitmer, @dananessel, @JocelynBenson, @RepHaleyStevens, @ElissaSlotkin and others are bought and paid for by not just China, but foreign and domestic billionaires (cough cough Li bloodline) and look here a Chinese national get busted for voting.

I’m sure the Li bloodline has nothing to do with #AnnArbor and the University of Michigan.

Peng Li Lab

The Peng Li lab is a Life Sciences laboratory found at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

According to their page:
Research:

“We investigate the neural mechanisms and pathways that orchestrate breathing — and their deviations in breathing disorders.”

“Breathing is a critical homeostatic process, delivering oxygen to every cell in the body. The rate and pattern of breathing are precisely regulated by a complex interplay of physiological and emotional inputs, orchestrated by the intricate breathing control circuitry within the brain.

Various disorders are linked to the disruption of this neural control of breathing. Yet, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying breathing, and how it goes awry in diseases remain largely unknown. Through molecular and genetic dissection of the breathing control circuitry, our laboratory endeavors to unravel the function of neural populations and circuits that control breathing rhythms and behaviors, along with the underlying pathophysiology of disorders marked by breathing abnormalities.

Our ultimate aim is to attain a comprehensive molecular understanding of the neural orchestration of breathing and its deviations in breathing disorders, paving the way for innovative interventions to address breathing irregularities.”

Comprehensive molecular understanding? DNA?

Neural Circuitry of Sighing:

“A sigh is a critical breathing function that spontaneously occurs every several minutes to reopen collapsed alveoli and maintain normal pulmonary function. Sighing is not only associated with various emotional states, but also strongly triggered by physiological inputs, including hypoxia. Employing cutting-edge genetic and neurogenetic tools, we have undertaken a series of projects to illuminate the neural circuitry for sighing and its physiological and emotional controls. Initially, we identified the peptidergic circuit for sighing in the medulla, which was the first molecularly identified core circuit underlying a breathing pattern variant (Li et al, 2016). Subsequently, we unveiled a two-step peptide neural circuit from lateral hypothalamic area to the medulla that controls sighing in claustrophobia-like behavioral state (Li et al., 2020). More recently, we discovered a neural circuit from the carotid body to medulla that specifically mediates sighing in hypoxia (Yao et al., 2023). Collectively, these investigations spotlight a neural circuitry where distinct afferent inputs, mediating different emotional and physiological conditions, converge upon a shared core circuit to regulate a breathing pattern.”

Mapping the Mind-Body Connection: Interoception, Breathing and Behavior:

“Interoception encompasses the perception of internal bodily states and plays a crucial role in regulating a variety of fundamental physiological and emotional processes. Among these, breathing stands as a pivotal bodily function that not only is closely modulated by interoceptive signals but also influences interoception. These signals enable swift adjustments in breathing based on physiological sensations and behavioral states. Our objective is to uncover the neural pathways linking the body to the brain, which facilitate varied interoceptive controls over breathing and simultaneously mediate the interplay between breathing and behavioral states (e.g., Yao et al., 2023; Chen et al., 2023).”

Breathing Abnormalities in Pathological Contexts:

“Disruption of the neural control of breathing is associated with various disorders, including sleep apnea, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), sudden infant death dyndrome (SIDS) and epilepsy. Our objective is to uncover the pathological mechanisms driving breathing irregularities in these specific conditions and how they contribute to the progression of these disorders. For example, in collaboration with Yu Wang’s Lab in the Department of Neurology, we have established an innovative epilepsy mouse model that manifests respiratory abnormalities and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Our current efforts are directed toward elucidating the molecular and neural underpinnings of these breathing abnormalities and their association with SUDEP.”
