George Washington was a member of the Order of the Garter?

The aprakeet is a reference to a banned member, who made several offensive statements against masonry.
Generally, anytime someone comes in and makes statements along a similar fashion to the fellow, they bring up the parakeet.
Sort of like the fellow set the standard, and they are comparing him to them.

Are you seeking the truth or trying to hide it? It would seem to me that if you have no proof what people are saying about George Washington are lies, then it wouldn't make any sense to argue with them. Unless you are purposely trying to make a fool out of them to discredit them. Why? Does this ease your conscious? Does it make you feel smarter than them? It isn't people's jobs to give you full proof of something in a single post. Instead, it is YOUR job to try and prove them false if you wish to discredit them and put a gold star next to your name. You say they have no proof when you yourself have no proof to the contrary. Now the truth is a hard thing to find. If indeed there is a society or societies intent on hiding the truth and have nearly unlimited resources for doing so, a society of which you are an admitted member of, then perhaps you must rely on instinct and common sense to find the truth instead of waiting to die to ask Washington himself. If I was you, I would have to ask myself a few questions like: If indeed freemasonry is "good" then why the secrecy?, or Why are there so many things about freemasonry that are against God's will (examples: pride, symbolism, favoritism to fellow masons, etc.), or If we serve God then why do we lie to the public about the cause of certain events? The list goes on. Well, in the end if you believe in God then I would hope you believe in the devil as well. Now realizing that the devil exists, do you think he stopped tricking people after he talked Eve into eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Hitler once said, "The victors of wars write the history books." Evil and wise, the two always seem to go hand in hand.

"Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense." Shame on him who thinks the evil of it.

Eh? He points out the inconsistencies in the OP, which is backed up by the posts that followed him.
