Thomas Smith Webb, who was influenced by the work of William Preston, was the author of Freemason's Monitor or Illustrations of Masonry, which had a very significant impact on the development and evolution of the Masonic rituals, particularly the York Rite degrees and orders, practiced in the United States. On September 14th, 1797, he published this book which was a compendium of William Preston's work as well as his own alterations, additions, and works. This book plays such a significant that many Grand Lodges in America still follow it today. It is to Thomas Smith-Webb we owe the charges of the degrees and the words regarding many an Emblem, including the Bee-Hive, Pot of Incense, Book of Constitutions, Sword and Naked Heart, All Seeing Eve, Anchor and Ark, Forty Seventh Problem, Hour Glass and Scythe.

NOTE: "Novus ordo seclorum" was not intended to mean (nor does it correctly translate into) "new world order." Seclorum is plural (new worlds order?). And Thomson said the motto refers to the beginning of a new age – an American era beginning in 1776. The pyramid's rising rows of construction help illustrate this new series of generations.

Does not mean a 'new world order'. As I said before, your Latin sucks. Your own links even says it:

Novus
The word novus means "new" in Latin. Novus may also refer to: ==Companies== ==Other== ...
Found op en.wikipedia.org...
www.encyclo.co.uk...
ordo
Latin, meaning: rank, class, order
Found op archives.nd.edu...

seclorum interesting no real definition to be found ! LOL!

Right. So you quoted a guy, who you did not even read, and when it is pointed out that he disputes what you are saying he is just 'covering his ass'. Nice try.

(1 ) LMAO. Except not all 6-points touch upon a letter so you are literally rearranging the letters that fall upon certain points and ignoring one of the points; you're literally just making it up to suit your agenda. Plus, if you move in a clockwise direction you get "_SMONA" (_ = space). In taking the letters are rearranging the letters you also get: manos, moans, monas, nomas, and soman. No Mason was involved in the 4th and final committee that created the Great Seal that would be approved by Congress. The designs proposed by Masons on earlier committees were rejected. Also, there is a definition for "seclorum", you just need to open a Latin dictionary and look.
(2) What is a "higher rank" in Freemasonry?
(3) So you believe everything you read? Then maybe you should read and watch some credible sources as many of the sources are easily debunked with logic and common sense. I really don't get why people think they are entitled to infringe on the rights of others; we're a private group and it's no ones business what we do in our private meetings.
(4)
Ben around for centuries?? yet you just said in a couple of hunderd years ! contradicting yourself!!?? ohh Comics too!!
Well "centuries" is the plural form of "century" so a "couple of hundred years" is just a more specific form than centuries (anything more than one century) so he didn't contradict himself.
(5) You really don't know what credibility or validity is apparently as not everything written or portrayed is true. In fact, most of the crap you've posted goes against reality.
(6) Freemasonry is not some part of the NWO nor the Bohemian Grove.
Augustus is very knowledge and has just shown the lies perpetrated by others. I guess you can condemn him for standing by the truth, but I commend him as the truth is more important than an agenda.

Is that even English? What re you trying to convey?
All the stars have ten sides. Count them. A pentagram has five sides. Do you know the difference between ten and five?
In a young America, Masonic ideals fully took flight—sometimes in unexpected ways. In Boston in 1775, Freemasonic officials who were part of a British garrison granted local freemen of color the right to affiliate as Masons under the banner of African Lodge No. 1. The African Lodge later became known as Prince Hall Masonry, so named for the order's founder, Prince Hall, a freed slave. Hall became the first African-American named a Grand Master. Despite the African Lodge's segregated status, Prince Hall Masonry was a bastion of abolitionism. Its leader affixed his name to some of the republic's earliest anti-slavery petitions in 1777 and 1778. As such, African Lodge No. 1 represented the first black-led abolitionist movement in American history.

(2) Higher Rank in Masonry as in Level to What DEGREE!! Plz Tell ... Legend has it there 32 to 33..
Except the degrees of the Scottish Rite is not superior to the Lodge. The Scottish Rite is just one branch of a much larger tree, but without the trunk there would be no tree. I don't think you really understand the hierarchy of Freemasonry and how we are structured.
As I said before, a popularly believed lie is still a lie.

You really need to learn how to properly use the quote function.
The history of the fraternity is a tough subject as so little evidence exists that goes back farther than the 17th century. Prior to that it's all speculation.
Nine of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Freemasons during their lifetime, though not necessarily in 1776: William Ellery; Benjamin Franklin; John Hancock; Joseph Hewes; William Hooper; Robert Treat Paine; Richard Stockton; George Walton; and William Whipple.
Fourteen U.S. presidents have been Freemasons, meaning that there is conclusive evidence that these men received the Master Mason degree: George Washington; James Monroe; Andrew Jackson; James Polk; James Buchanan; Andrew Johnson; James Garfield; William McKinley; Theodore Roosevelt; William Taft; Warren Harding; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Harry S. Truman; and Gerald Ford.

The whole 6-pointed star making the word "MASON" theory is a far stretch and doesn't follow any logical process.
You don't even know how a Grand Lodge works? Freemasonry isn't about amassing a fortune. You definitely don't know what Freemasonry is about and only go on what others have said; talk about parrot.
The Square & Compasses don't actually align with the same letters. Hint: the angles of a hexagram are not the same as a Square & Compasses.

The star is really not all that important in Freemasonry. It's used in the Eastern Star, but there is nothing sinister about that nor does it tie it to anyone else who may or may not use stars as a symbol. Symbols can be used by various groups for various reasons, but common use doesn't tie groups or people together.
I've talked in ad nauseum about the dollar bill and, no, it was not created by the Masons nor was the Great Seal. I'm not grasping at straws, I've laid out verifiable and historical fact that demonstrates that no Mason designed, but even if they had, who cares?! Not everything a Mason does is "Masonic". Freemasonry is not some uber controlling organization that tells us what we do with our lives 24/7.
