Intrepid columnist exposes mysterious
Mason handshake
by/par Ian Gillespie
He seems like
a really good guy. And he did show me the secret handshake. So
maybe the conspiracy theorists are wrong. Maybe the Freemasons
aren't really an elite group of bankers, religious leaders,
politicians and businessmen who secretly pull the strings of
puppet governments around the world and seek to rule the world
with an iron fist. Maybe the Grand Master of Ontario's 60,000
Freemasons is telling the truth." We’re not a cult," says Don
Mumby. "We're not devil worshippers. And isn't a great big
bunch of mumbo jumbo." READ

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
by/par unknown
In 2003
Hurricane Isabelle hit Washington DC, virtually shutting down
the American capital, including the US Senate and House of
Representatives. The military members assigned the duty of
guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend their assignment. They respectfully declined the
offer. Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a
tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just
an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded
to a serviceperson. READ
