I'm a Freemason, 32nd degree. What do you think about that? Well, at that level, in the Scottish and York Rites, I would encourage you to repent. It goes back to the Knights Templar, who became too powerful. They ran to Scotland and hid treasure. Questioning Freemasonry challenges foundational aspects of the United States. I joined Freemasonry after reading Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, wanting to be more American. But if it's so American, why is the city of London so Masonic? As a conservative Lutheran, I see it as one sick person guiding another to the hospital, the throne of Christ. Confession and repentance are possible. Speaking against Freemasonry touches foundational aspects of America and the founding fathers, but figures like Jefferson and Paine also penned dark material and questioned scripture.

I converted to the LDS church. My claim is that Mormonism or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is more historically accurate than Protestantism. The Protestant claim really works off more of the reforms back in the fifteen hundreds based off Martin Luther. And he's thinking back off of Catholicism where they adopt a lot of dogmas for them such as the Trinity, for instance. What are the differentiations between us and why people don't think we're Christian is because we don't have the same view of the Godhead, and we have an open canon of scripture, and we don't believe that those scriptures are infallible. Where is the archaeological evidence for the Nephites? No. I mean, there's there's a lot of archaeological evidence. Evidence do you have for that claim? I'm an evangelical Christian.

The speaker discusses the Scofield Bible, claiming that its emergence is linked to a historical convergence of major events in the early 20th century. They state that around the time when the Federal Reserve was founded and the Balfour Declaration occurred, the Rothschild family recruited a pastor in the Deep South to produce a new version of the Bible—the Scofield Bible. According to the speaker, this Bible introduced new interpretations of biblical text. They assert that Jewish influence affected Christian interpretation through this edition, describing it as the origin of Judeo-Christian ideas and the concept that Israel represents the modern political nation of Israel as understood in the Bible. The speaker further claims that the Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. They assert that the Rothschilds owned the publisher responsible for distributing the Bible, identifying Oxford Press as the publisher. Because of these ownership and funding arrangements, the speaker contends that they had the ability to push the Scofield Bible into widespread circulation, across megachurches and across entire denominations of Christianity. As a result, the speaker concludes that Christianity was effectively “Jewified” through this process. Key points highlighted include: - The Scofield Bible was created in the early 1900s, coinciding with the founding of the Federal Reserve and the Balfour Declaration. - The Rothschild family hired a pastor in the Deep South to author a new Bible version (the Scofield Bible) with revised interpretations. - This edition introduced or popularized Judeo-Christian concepts and reinforced the idea that Israel today aligns with the Israel of the Bible. - The Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family and distributed through a publisher (identified as Oxford Press) that they owned, enabling its widespread adoption. - The widespread push of the Scofield Bible contributed to Christianity being “Jewified” across megachurches and denominations.

Your family tree includes notable figures like George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, FDR, Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, and Sarah Palin. You also have a connection to Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints. Interestingly, you didn’t know this before. Joseph Smith Jr. is often considered the main leader of the Mormons. Additionally, Ralph Waldo Emerson is part of your lineage. Just to clarify, the title of "king of the Mormons" doesn’t hold the same weight as the "king of kings." Let’s not dive into that topic just yet; it’s a bit early for preaching.

**Caller:** I was listening to your show and came across an article saying you're a Freemason. I know Masons do good things, but they're at the head of every global organization, so how is the world in such bad shape? I'm not joining because of this. **Speaker:** I have Masonic roots, but I've never been part of a lodge. My family was heavily involved. Freemasonry is just a university study of religions, philosophy, building, math, and agrarian systems. The Illuminati was a counter to the real Illuminati, like Francis Bacon, before the modern version. This country was founded by real Rosicrucians. I come from a classical enlightenment family—real Illuminati. There are no secret societies, just freedom, Jesus Christ, free markets, family, and the will to fight tyrants. Globalists have hijacked the idea of a new Atlantis and are selling the opposite of what this country was founded on.

In the early nineteen hundreds, around the Federal Reserve’s founding and the Balfour Declaration, the Rothschild family hired a pastor in the Deep South who made a new version of the Bible called the Scofield Bible, with new interpretations. They didn't change Jewish influence. Yes. Literally. That's where Judeo Christianity kinda came from. And the idea that Israel is this modern Israel thing is the Israel of the Bible. It came from that Bible. And the Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. Then it was pushed because they owned the publisher that publishes like all the books. I think it was Oxford Press. And so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the mega churches across whole denominations of Christianity. And so that was when Christianity got kind of Jewified.

We, as Jewish people, have aimed to control the world for over 3,300 years. Our plan involves changing Americans' perceptions of reality, a brainwashing process completed through demoralization over generations by instilling Marxism-Leninism, Americans themselves further this through a lack of moral standards, making people unable to assess true information. Throughout history, Jews would lend money at interest, circumventing usury laws and eventually controlling economies, leading to expulsions. Jews revolutionized the adult industry, controlling it and eliminating antisemitism. Jews are overrepresented in finance and financial crimes, exploiting loopholes and sometimes acting contrary to their own laws and beliefs. Some claim that Zionists are controlling the media to change narratives about Israel and that there is a plot for a one world financial system.

Christopher Columbus isn't the hero we were taught. His paintings show a hand symbol linked to the Tartarians, a people erased from history who were already in America when Columbus arrived. Funded partly by wealth confiscated from Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, Columbus's voyage may have carried Jews seeking a haven for Freemasonry. Early America had a significant, wealthy Jewish Freemason presence. Masonic symbols, like the Star of David, appear on the dollar bill, connecting to the magical properties associated with King Solomon's temple, a key symbol for Masons. America isn't the land of the free, it's the land of the Freemasons, a Jewish enterprise from the start, seeking freedom to practice their occultic religion.

Rothschild began buying up land in Palestine in the late 1800s, funding infrastructure and funding schools. By 1917, the Rothschild banking cabal had strong influence over the British government and brokered a deal later known as the Balfour Declaration. Essentially, Rothschilds claimed the US would enter the war and aid the Allies, and in return, the British stated that a Jewish homeland would be established in Palestine. About thirty years later, the creation of the CIA emerged to control the region around Israel, followed by Israel becoming an official nation the next year, and in 1949 the Mossad was created to run the internal defense. Sir Ostralis funded it, the CIA protected global western interests, the Mossad protected national Zionist interests. This power triangle was strong. It propped up regimes, destroyed governments from within, and silenced anyone who questioned it, including presidents. John F. Kennedy was one of them. He tried to inspect Israel's nuclear site. He tried to shut down the CIA. And then a few months later, he was gone. So follow along before the same thing happens to me. And remember, it's not a conspiracy. It's a business model.

Speaker 0 asserts that if you have a Scofield Reference Bible, you need to know the author of that reference Bible because he’s not who people think he is; he is not Doctor Scofield. Speaker 1 corrects: Never was a doctor. Speaker 0 specifies: Nelson Darby is the man who created dispensationalism, and Larkins basically packaged it in his books, but it was Scofield who distributed it. John Nelson Darby’s doctrines supposedly went nowhere in Britain among the Plymouth Brethren through the 1800s, with only pockets in the United States aware of them, until Cyrus Schofield became the propaganda meister for Darby’s doctrine. Speaker 2 defines the Scofield Reference Bible as a King James Bible with notes in the margins acting as a commentary, in which dispensational truth is taught, and the Bible was shipped around the world. Speaker 3 adds: Many contributors to the Scofield Reference Bible helped sweep the movement across the United States. Speaker 2 explains: Somebody financed publication of many Scofield Bibles, and they were mailed to churches across America. Speaker 0 elaborates: The Bibles were given to Baptist young preachers in seminaries and Bible colleges, facilitating the spread of dispensationalism across pulpits and the country. Speaker 0 continues: Conferences, the establishment of Bible colleges, and Dallas Theological Seminary were part of a coordinated effort to spread the dispensational movement, which was very successful for a time. Speaker 1 notes: The Bibles were distributed widely in rural America and small town churches. Speaker 0 adds: Millions were distributed. Speaker 1 explains: Bible salesmen would get the Bibles for free, then sell them for whatever they could get. Speaker 1 answers: They got them for free from the publishing company—Oxford. Speaker 4 states: C. I. Schofield is placed on a pedestal by independent fundamental Baptists; pulpits across America feature a Schofield Reference Bible. Yet this is a man who preferred to use the Revised Version over the King James for his references, and he used the King James 1611 only because of its popularity at the time. So, he supposedly “threw the King James Bible under the bus” and said it’s not a good one, but used it because it was most popular. The speaker questions why Baptist, King James Only advocates promote a heretic who downplayed and disliked the King James Bible as a man of God who can teach good doctrine. Speaker 0 claims: They infiltrated American evangelical churches with Zionist propaganda, and the Baptist, Pentecostal, Assemblies of God, Church of God, and other denominations progressively bought into it. Speaker 1 adds: People actually believe the notes are sacred as the texts themselves. Speaker 5 contributes: A person with a Schofield Bible wants to read Schofield’s notes on Acts 15, noting that dispensationally, this is the most important passage in the New Testament, giving the divine purpose for this age and for the beginning of the next.

The transcript argues that Oxford University Press launched a deliberate attack on Christianity by publishing the Schofield Reference Bible in 1908, a Bible whose notes purportedly inject reinterpretations that connect the future state of Israel to access to God. It states the book’s importance led OUP to open its first American branch, publishing it and promoting it through key American seminaries and Bible schools, thereby shaping future pastors’ beliefs to align with a peacemaking tradition favorable to the state of Israel. The speakers claim many pastors were unaware of the danger at the time, and that the Schofield Bible would later be used by secular powers to steer Christians toward political and financial servitude to present-day Israel. They assert American Christianity became increasingly Zionized after 1948 with the appearance of the state of Israel, aided by Oxford University Press’s Zionist influence and its New York publishing branch, which published the Schofield Reference Bible as a foundational document for Christian Zionism and evangelicalism, contributing to its growth through deception. The narrative links the founders of world Zionism, especially Chaim Weizmann, to efforts to involve the United States in World War I and to gain land in Palestine, arguing that a small number of dominant American scientists influenced President Wilson to enter the war, resulting in substantial American casualties while enabling Zionist aims in Palestine after the Balfour Declaration. The Schofield Reference Bible is described as copyrighted in 1909, an old and new testament with many notes added originally in the Old Testament, with later additions in the New Testament and a radical 1967 revision. The cover features Cyrus I. Scofield and an editorial board including James M. Gray, president of Moody Bible Institute, and other seminary leaders. Distribution allegedly occurred through seminaries, influencing new pastors who returned to churches with the Schofield Bible in hand. A critical examination of a page from Genesis 12:3 is used to illustrate the alleged distortions: the verse, part of the Torah and quoted in the Koran, is presented as a basis for Christians and Zionists to claim that present-day Israel should own all land in the Middle East beginning with Palestine. The 1967 Scofield edition reportedly contains more footnotes than the 1909 version, with a footnote claiming an unconditional promise of land to Israel forever, which the speakers assert is not stated in the passage. They argue that the footnotes render Abraham’s promise as a perpetual land grant to Israel, and that the note uses the later term “Jew” unjustly to describe biblical figures from before the existence of Judah or the Jews. The transcript contends that Oxford’s notes imply blessings or curses based on support for Israel, and that a nation’s supposed sin for not aiding Israel would invite divine judgment, a claim the speakers label as a form of antisemitism manufactured by Christian Zionism. They argue that the concept of national sin is flawed, and that individuals alone sin, not nations. Historical figures like Philip Morrow and Doctor F. Furman Curley are cited as Orthodox Christian critics who warned against dispensationalism and Christian Zionism. Morrow warned in 1927 that Schofield Bible had usurped authority from Scripture, while Curley in 1983 linked premillennialist advocacy of Israel to wars in the Middle East and urged Christians to seek peace rather than war, criticizing figures like Hal Lindsey and Jerry Falwell. The final note emphasizes that Jesus’ simple New Testament teachings do not support Christians taking life abroad, urging a reconsideration of the doctrine behind Christian Zionism.

Morgan reveals that Freemasonry's god is Lucifer, not the God of the Christian Bible, and that the organization is rooted in pagan sun worship. He states that Freemasons consider themselves illumined and look down upon non-members, often excluding minorities and women.

Person 1: I asked to get clarity on the white supremacy concept. I'm half German, half Irish. We’ve talked where nobody believes the holo hoax stuff anymore. The more people read into it with masturbation machines, lampshades, piles of shoes, an honest assessment shows it’s lunacy. But who benefited most from the Holocaust? Jews and world Jewry. But who was the target of Holocaust? Hoaxers. Germany. Germany. White Europeans. No. Germany. So why have Americans been paying so much for Holocaust museums and restitution and memorial councils and support for Israel and for world Jewry? Why are there 700 NGOs for supporting Jews and giving money to Jews, and basically zero to support founding stock white European Americans. Literally zero Jews signed the Declaration of Independence or the constitution, and the constitution and declaration were both overwhelmingly signed by white Europeans. If you want to extend it, like the founding fathers that were Freemasons that were Kabbalist kind of Jews, then that’s not accurate. They weren’t Kabbalists. Freemasonry was created literally in 1843 funded by the Rothschilds for the purposes of subverting Freemasonry and rewriting the narrative around our Freemasonry founding fathers. George Washington, Ben Franklin, James Madison, Van Buren—absolutely correct. Absolutely wrong. If you’re talking about the free Masonic founding fathers, by extension, they’re Kabbalistic Jews anyway. Person 2: Ben Franklin in 1787 … there’s a hierarchy. Crypto Jews, John Kerry Cohen, for instance. He’s a free Masonic Jew as well. Kabbalistic believer and all that stuff. Trump likely is too. He’s a convert. And then you’ve got Freemasons that are secondary because it’s their pathway to be able to become official Shabbos scorer that get to enjoy the perks of all the Jewish crimes that they commit. B’nai B’rith actually did infiltrate the Free Masonic Lodges back in 1843, done by a bunch of German Jews in New York that started the first lodge, then gradually infiltrated the other lodges they didn’t control at that time. B’nai B’rith is actually one of the biggest global movements now; they’ve got over 5,000 of these Masonic houses and schools, etc., that they use for human trafficking. Charlotte, South Carolina is their headquarters. They’re everywhere; you don’t even know where all the homes are because they have so many of them. They’re rival with Khobod Lubovich, another massive movement with many pieces of real estate. They can be probably more powerful than the Vatican combined. I guess they run the Vatican. Person 3: But you understand I’m an anti-supremacist, right? You wanna tell me that you know, the white race, why can’t we have a white country, a white state? No one’s stopping you. Have your white ethnoidentarian state. Nobody cares. When you say they were persecuting the Germans, even after World War II, they killed over 11,000,000. If you believe Theodore Kaufman’s book, Germany must perish. They had Germany on the target list from the early medieval times. Do you recall how many Goy were killed in World War II? It’s like over 80,000,000 or so. They’re mostly whites, British or French, Russians. It’s mainly whites that were killed—Slavs, mainly Slavs. Slavs, but then Brits, French, others, whites were killed too. The point: they want whites fighting amongst each other, brother wars like World War I to wipe each other out and to restrict birth rates by pushing things like LGBTQ, hijacking kids to go through sex changes becoming infertile. It’s the same with the COVID vaccine, leading to sterility and reduced birth rates. So they are looking to kill, gradually reduce the white population. Person 1: Their biggest servants and slaves are white Christians. John Hagee, they’re a problem. I condemn them as well; they’re part of the problem. Since 1909, with the Schofield Bible, they’ve subverted Christians who would have viewed the Bible differently. The facts are the facts. We’re just slaves, manipulated.

The speaker asserts that the ADL labels many people as anti-Semitic while, in the speaker’s view, the ADL itself represents one of the greatest racist groups that has existed. The Bene Bureth (Bene Berith) is described as a pivotal player in a British Freemasonic plot to destroy the Union and is claimed to be implicated in Lincoln’s assassination. The speaker contends that this fact contradicts the group’s cultivated reputation as a Jewish social service organization and asserts that Bene Berith’s Washington DC leader and one of its founding members were circumstantially tied to the Lincoln assassination conspiracy and explicitly linked to the successionist insurrection against the Union in 1801. The Tory faction of United States Freemasonry, described as having sided with England during the American Revolution, is said to have opened up shop as the grand council of the princes of Jerusalem, the mother supreme council, knights commander of the house of the temple of Solomon, the thirty-third degree of the ancient and accepted order of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the United States. This United States–based British Freemasonic Lodge is noted as being chartered in Charleston, South Carolina, and its members, described as part of this British-led secret society, are said to have directed the Confederate secessionist insurrection about a half-century later. The speaker claims that another Scottish Rite member would be among the founders of the Confederacy, and that many early Masons became wealthy through business dealings with the British East India Company and the Dutch West India Company in both the cotton and slave trades. Among the Charleston Scottish Rite Lodge’s founding members were numerous prominent Jews, named as Isaac DeCosta, Moses Cohen, Israel Deleben, Doctor Isaac Held, Moses Levy, and Moses Piaksoto. The speaker identifies these men as Sephardic Jews from North Africa or Spain who had originally settled in the Caribbean and engaged in the early slave trade. The claim is made that these Jewish Masons formed organizations that maintained active liaison with Great Britain’s powerful Jewish community, including the Hebrew Orphan Aid Society, which the speaker says produced Judah P. Benjamin as a rabid successionist leader. The speaker notes that today, discussions of Bene Berith’s Freemasonic roots are often met with accusations of anti-Semitism. The speaker references Bene Berith’s own early magazine, the Menorah, which allegedly described the founders and stated that reunions were frequent, with several founders being members of existing benevolent societies, especially the Freemasons and Odd Fellows. The group supposedly concluded that a somewhat similar organization, but based upon a Jewish idea, would best obtain their objective, drawing a comparison between the synagogue and a lodge room, which, in the speaker’s account, used to be opened twice a day “For a Jew.”

The murder of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, led to the Mormons fleeing to Mexico, where they built a utopian society with their own government and economy. Under Brigham Young, they expanded rapidly, creating a network of settlements and adopting the beehive as a symbol of their industriousness. However, as the U.S. government gained control, tensions rose over their theocratic society and polygamy. The government eventually outlawed polygamy, leading to a split within the church. Mainstream Mormons ceased the practice, while fundamentalist groups continued. Today, the church has evolved into a global organization, maintaining its original goal of building Zion.

The discussion begins with a mention of the Mormon Church's hedge fund, valued at over $100 billion, which has been a topic since 2019. The hosts explore the characteristics of what they consider the greatest business ever, ultimately concluding that religion fits this model due to its high lifetime value (LTV), longevity, tax advantages, and reliance on volunteers. They highlight how religious organizations have minimal customer acquisition costs, significant assets, and a product that is deeply integrated into people's lives, promising benefits in both this life and the afterlife. Ben, a member of the Mormon Church, explains that members tithe 10% of their income, contributing to the church's wealth. The church has diversified investments, including U.S. stocks and real estate, and has faced criticism for its lack of transparency regarding its financial practices. The hosts discuss the church's justification for its wealth, referring to it as a "rainy day fund," while questioning the ethics of accumulating such wealth without redistributing it to those in need. The conversation shifts to the concept of "psyops as a service," detailing a company that offers psychological operations for hire, including hacking and creating fake narratives to influence public perception. The hosts reflect on the implications of such services in both commercial and political contexts, emphasizing the ease with which misinformation can spread through social media. They also discuss the importance of maintaining connections within networks, particularly in Silicon Valley, and the value of proximity to influential figures. The conversation concludes with insights on partnership dynamics, emphasizing the need for a giving mindset and long-term thinking in business relationships. Overall, the dialogue highlights the intersection of religion, business, and the influence of social media in shaping public narratives.

The REAL Story of the Mormon Church
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Joseph Smith, born in 1805 in Upstate New York, emerged from a religiously tumultuous era marked by a revival of charismatic preachers and folk magic. At 14, he experienced the First Vision, where God and Jesus Christ instructed him to restore the true church. By 1823, he was visited by the angel Moroni, who revealed the existence of golden plates containing a record of ancient Americans. Joseph translated these plates into the Book of Mormon, which became foundational for the LDS Church, established in 1830. His teachings included unique doctrines about God, the afterlife, and the concept of Zion, a utopian society. Despite facing violent opposition, Joseph's movement grew, leading to the establishment of Nauvoo, Illinois. However, his controversial practices, including polygamy, led to his arrest and eventual murder in 1844. His death fueled the Latter-day Saints' determination to find a safe haven for Zion, ultimately leading them westward.
