You must read 'They All Love Jack' by Bruce Robinson. Then try and get him on your podcast. He spent 15 years researching the Masons of Victorian Britian and their role in protecting Jack the Ripper. And no,  it is nothing like the Alan Moore tale.

That Masonic Lodge on 6th Avenue is a fucking beauty. Everything is very ornate hand crafted and beautiful from an aesthetic pov.

Research feminist, art historian, scholar, artist, lecturer and survivor of spurious versions of freemasonry Lynn Brunet. Same horrific stuff happened to my own family and was tied to my military grandfather's navy connections. Serious child abuse

We catch up on President Trump's recent cavalcade of triumphs and humiliations. We're then joined by CTU member Kenzo Shibata to discuss the Chicago teacher's strike, what the union is fighting for, and what they're up against. Finally, we finish with a little lesson from Eric Trump on Marcus Aurelius, and the meaning of "hypocrisy".

Robbie Martin delivers an epic 4-hour long episode of Media Roots Radio going over the Freemasonic origin story of the United States of America. Starting with the legend of King Solomon and Solomon's Temple and how it serves as the foundation of Freemasonic occultism, Robbie then examines how Enlightenment era and Royal Society of London scientists flirted with the occult and alchemy, and how Isaac Newton became obsessed with decoding the secrets of King Solomon's Temple. Freemason influence over the Sons of Liberty and foundational figures in the Revolutionary war like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington are discussed. Robbie ends the episode with George Washington arguing with a 'conspiracy theorist' of his era in a series of letters accusing Freemasons of trying to destroy Christianity.
