DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A POLITICAL POST. THIS IS JUST POINTING OUT A WTF MOMENT

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/house-stenographer-hauled-from-floor-98439.html

Happened live during the vote when she started ranting about Freemasons. Apparently people said she was normal before all this...dude the way she walks to the podium so calmly creeps me out.

She's a sheeple. The utter chaos surrounding the US debt limit and government shutdown left her mind desperately seeking leadership from any source. She simply got to the point that a Freemason conspiracy theory was the only available Shepard for her psyche to latch on to and fulfill her need to follow.

Of course, the utter lack of US leadership in the executive and legislative branch pretty much puts the kibosh on any conspiracy theory that a cabal of puppetmasters are in charge, bending the world to their whims on the sly. Which means that the NSA really was acting in the best interests of the nation, and wasn't in the business of collecting everyone's data in order to blackmail world leaders into doing the NSA's Master's bidding.

I just love it when there is a sudden personality shattering and breakdown of the psyche live on TV or the House Floor, or wherever.

It always reminds me of the hilarious ""Two Weeks" scene at the spaceport in "Total Recall". That's some high humor.

(Did they try removing this ladies' holographic mask I wonder ?)

It is strange how mental kinks that suddenly engage themselves like this always seem, without fail, to take aim straight for the Masons and God.

If I ever snapped, I guarantee and promise that's 2 things I would not be yammering about.

I hope.

It's ok, Krix. We masons have been accused of illuminati type stuff for a long time.

Personally, I sit back and laugh with my Zurich friends and then we wipe your mind and go to someone else.

What is really odd is I had absolutely never ever heard of any of the Freemason/Illuminati/Knights Templar Conspiracies till I was bout 23 yo, and reading Umberto Eco's "Focault's Pendulum". It's all in there. At length.

Just a little hint....

It's not ALL in there. It's only what we ALLOW to be published. Some of it may be false but I wont tell what it is. Blink

It inspired me to look for information about both The Church of Satan and the Bavarian Illuminati, not an easy task in the pre-Interwebz Days.

I do not believe in any small group with a master plan to take over the world, but it does not take a genius to see that most of the venues of information exchange are controlled by a very small group of hands. They each are just looking to control as large a part of the pond as they can.

She was probably one of those people who had to keep doing their jobs without pay during the shutdown. Even worse, as a stenographer she had to write down everything the politicians said. The politicians that were still being paid. For two weeks.

Can you be sure that you wouldn't snap over it ?

It's been a long-time dream of mine to join the Freemasons. But I'm not a very good schmoozer and I need a personal invitation. I might have to start with the Rosicrucians and see if I can work my way up.

Did you know:
-In the 19th century, the two rival political parties in Mexico were both Masonic lodges. The Scottish rite (los Escoses or something) and the York Rite (los Yorquinos or something). 100% Freemason rule.
-The strangest and scariest Masons of all may have been the ones in Liberia. The ruling elite were all members. The Masonic temple building was one of the two nicest buildings in the country (the other being the executive mansion), and unabashedly covered with cryptic symbols. The Liberian Masons blended local bush devil witchcraft into the regular Masonic rites with Masons were universally believed to practice a human sacrifice(!). People evacuated the roads and streets after dark during meeting times (on full moon days) and when there was a Mason funeral. Same for the women's auxiliary Eastern Star meetings and funerals. After the elite were overthrown in 1980, Freemasonry was banned and the lodge was looted and gutted.

Got to love masonic halls.

Of course, here's the question. Do masonic halls look like the white house, or does the white house look like a masonic hall? Blink

Just listening to politicians (of any nationality) day in day out is enough to make anyone crazy.

Or you could just come to New Zealand, walk into Freemason House and figure it out from there.
