Joins us for our second hour with Peter Levenda as we're going to talk about Masonry, their rituals, the origins and also about the many denominations that exists, the Knights Templar, the Illuminati and the Catholic Connection. We also discuss the initiation ritual, what happens to you when you go through a initiation ritual. What role does trauma play into this and can we view it as a form of mind control or at least, more mildly put, the alteration of consciousness? We talk about the need for people to belong to organizations and the problem of secrecy. We discuss secret societies and their occult rituals. We talk about the building of Solomon's temple, religion, the Jewish roots of masonry. We also talk about the CIA, Yale, Skull and Bones, military Lodges, the Manchurian candidate, the elite and leaders that are above the Law.
