i've been thinking about the whole masonic police affair since Nick responded "getting warmer" with regard to that winter watch article... here are my thoughts atm for others to chew on:
1: there would be a demand for additional specialized police because... (not exhaustive if anyone else can think of other reasons) {1} masonic habbenings and /or vips need protection from all that is profane and it was felt there would be a higher than avg likelihood of profane encroachment; {2} they are a sort of Brand name - cum -generis for occult affairs to these folks (like Q-tips for cotton swabs or Band-aid for adhering bandages) and VIP needs security detail (Joe walsh move into town recently??)
2) the encounter that led to arrest was in santa clarita valley... been looking into the chan archives for spooppyness there and still have most of the tabs open for reading. But scanning the search results {1} cannibalism comes up with the area more often than it to be mere coincidence AND {2} netflix had a show about cannibals called the Santa Clarita Diet. Also, its a good ways from San Fran.... much closer to L.A. why would they be dispatched so far from their normal location?
3) the 3 arrested from this masonic police organization (from reading one of the links above in this thread) had one member that was O.E.S. (female) and 2 that were Masons (male). {1} I am assuming that as with this region it is same that way and therefore, the males were prince hall masons as in the southeast the mason halls are segregated such that Black men seeking membership must go to prince hall initiates. if i recall, the HQ of the Prince Hall lodges is in Birmingham (here in the Southeast). {2} the OES was created as a women's offshoot here in MS (up towards the MS river Delta; I Only know this from looking into my own family tree as I had a great grandmother that was a twin and the twins were both OES. Thats about all I know). But, wouldn't it stand to reason that if masonic lodges are de facto segregated that the related spin-offs would also be de facto segregated? If so then what is the deal with the arrested woman being both black and OES? Finally, I had at one point, while researching various matters over the years, come across a website that claimed there is /was some kind of schism (or lodges using the prince hall name unauthorized) such that a lodge down here on the coast was alleged by website author(I stumbled onto) as being a fraud. How common is it for this sort of thing to occur? this could explain the OES matter above; but, also is it possibly something related to our current dig?
