JFK in Scotland: Former US president began journey to White House with public speech in Scottish hotel in 1939
-----------
Historian Mike Kemble, who has written extensively on the sinking, said: “The torpedoing of the ship became an unlikely propaganda dream for the British.
“It caused such outrage in the UK that it hardened the resolve of the British people against the Germans. And in
America, which had taken an isolationist approach up until then, people began to see that their fellow citizens were at risk too.
------------
“Hitler was furious and ordered a cover-up because he didn’t want America to enter the war. So the Nazis put out propaganda that Britain had sunk the ship deliberately to try to involve the US.

But a long-forgotten address in Glasgow gave him his first taste of the public life that would become his destiny.
RFK, Jr.'s article, "John F. Kennedy's Vision of Peace," in the Dec. 5 edition of Rolling Stone, relates that "Dulles, fired by JFK after the Bay of Pigs, returned to public service when LBJ appointed him to the Warren Commission, where he systematically concealed the agency's involvement in various assassination schemes and its ties to organized crime. To a young writer, he revealed his continued resentment against JFK: 'That little Kennedy... he thought he was a god.'"
-------------
RFK, Jr. outlines the President's determination to close out the inherited colonial war in Vietnam. He writes that his father, Robert Kennedy, told Daniel Ellsberg that JFK "did not want to follow France into a war of rich against poor, white versus Asian, on the side of imperialism and colonialism against nationalism and self-determination." The two Kennedy brothers had toured Vietnam back in 1951, and, said Robert, "'we were there! We saw what was happening to the French. We saw it. We were determined never to let that happen to us.'"
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, America's first Irish-Catholic president, was a son of two families whose roots stretched back to Ireland.
-------------
John Fitzgerald Kennedy relished his Irish heritage. During President Kennedy's historic visit to Ireland in June 1963, he remarked to the people of New Ross, Ireland:
"When my great grandfather left here to become a cooper in East Boston, he carried nothing with him except two things: a strong religious faith and a strong desire for liberty. I am glad to say that all of his great-grandchildren have valued that inheritance."

The museum's Oval Office exhibit includes a fragment of a pennant flown on the Raleigh, a ship commanded by John Barry, a founder of the U.S. Navy and former commander of the USS Constitution. Barry served during the Revolutionary War as one of the first captains of the Navy. He was born in County Wexford, Ireland, the ancestral home of President Kennedy. President Kennedy displayed the pennant in the White House Oval Office. And during his visit to Wexford, Ireland, on June 27, 1963, he placed a wreath at the John Barry statue.

In December 1998, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and the members of its Profile in Courage Award Committee presented a special John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award to eight political leaders of Northern Ireland and one American. The award recognized the extraordinary political courage they demonstrated in negotiating the historic Good Friday Peace Agreement.
(The Royal Arch Purple Order claim to be representative of the two and a half tribes that led the vanguard of Israel to the Promised Land, and the numerals two and a half are to some extent the badge of their Organisation.)
"He (the candidate) is made to mount the three steps to the platform (representing Faith, Hope and Charity) and bidden to stand on the topmost step, about five feet above the ground level. Next he is turned round with his back to the strong sheet, and with a dextrous push backward by the clerical Master of the Lodge, is thrown Into the sheet upon his back. In this position he is carried round the hall, various sly kicks being administered en-route - the candidate vigorously protesting against the kicks."
This is the infamous 'riding the goat'.
The lecturers ask the blindfolded candidate: "What do you stand most in need of? The answer is "Light."
He continues, "When the bandage over his eyes is removed, his first view is the points of two swords held in dangerous proximity to the breast and the pistol at his head.
Finally he is made to stand in front of the coffin, skull, pistol and swords, whilst he takes the oath administered by the Master, the skull being placed in his hands during the oath-taking."
He is informed of the consequences of disloyalty to the Royal Arch Purple - that of having his throat cut across from ear to ear, his tongue tom out by its roots and his left breast torn open, his heart and vitals taken there from, etc.
The ceremony now concludes and the candidate, after being permitted to resume his divested clothing, returns to the Lodge room and is welcomed as a duly accredited member of the Royal Arch Purple degree.

Then, the rest of the JFK theme appears early in his youth, and returns as he visits North English Island zone of Scotland as Joe Kennedy's son. The issues of the "Scottish Rite" tie to issues of Scotland having significance to Joseph of Arimathea and the Jesus family.
The Anglo-Scottish border (or English-Scottish border, known locally as simply The Border) is the official border and mark of entry between Scotland and England. It runs for 96 miles (154 km) between the River Tweed on the east coast and the Solway Firth in the west. It is Scotland's only land border. England shares a longer border with Wales.
Although it had long been the de facto border, it was legally established in 1237, by the Treaty of York between England and Scotland,[1]
Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium) was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain, begun in AD 122 during the rule of emperor Hadrian. In addition to its military role, gates through the wall served as customs posts.[1]

Although Hadrian's biographer wrote "(Hadrian) was the first to build a wall 80 miles long to separate the Romans from the barbarians",[8]

Medieval interest in Joseph centered on two themes, that of Joseph as the founder of British Christianity (even before it had taken hold in Rome), and that of Joseph as the original guardian of the Holy Grail.
----------
Tertullian does not say how the Gospel came to Britain before AD 222. However, Eusebius of Caesarea, (AD 260–340), one of the earliest and most comprehensive of church historians, wrote of Christ's disciples in Demonstratio Evangelica, saying that "some have crossed the Ocean and reached the Isles of Britain."[8] Saint Hilary of Poitiers (AD 300–376) also wrote that the Apostles had built churches and that the Gospel had passed into Britain.[9]
Hippolytus (AD 170–236), considered to have been one of the most learned Christian historians, puts names to the seventy disciples whom Jesus sent forth in Luke 10, includes Aristobulus of Romans 16:10 with Joseph, and states that he ended up becoming a pastor in Britain.[10]
In none of these earliest references to Christianity’s arrival in Britain is Joseph of Arimathea mentioned. The first literary connection of Joseph of Arimathea with Britain had to wait for the ninth-century Life of Mary Magdalene attributed to Rabanus Maurus (AD 766–856), Archbishop of Mainz; however, the earliest authentic copy of the Maurus text is one housed in the Bodleian Library of Oxford University.[11] Rabanus states that Joseph of Arimathea was sent to Britain, and he goes on to detail who travelled with him as far as France, claiming that he was accompanied by "the two Bethany sisters, Mary and Martha, Lazarus (who was raised from the dead), St. Eutropius, St. Salome, St. Cleon, St. Saturnius, St. Mary Magdalen, St. Maxium or Maximin, St. Martial, and St. Trophimus or Restitutus."[12] Rabanus Maurus describes their voyage to Britain:
Leaving the shores of Asia and favoured by an east wind, they went round about, down the Tyrrhenian Sea, between Europe and Africa, leaving the city of Rome and all the land to the right. Then happily turning their course to the right, they came near to the city of Marseilles, in the Viennoise province of the Gauls, where the river Rhône is received by the sea. There, having called upon God, the great King of all the world, they parted; each company going to the province where the Holy Spirit directed them; presently preaching everywhere ...
William Blake's engraving Joseph of Arimathea Among the Rocks of Albion in its second engraving in 1820. [13]
The route he describes follows that of a supposed Phoenician trade route to Britain, as described by Diodorus Siculus.

On the day of the Preparation, about the tenth hour, you shut me in, and I remained there the whole Sabbath in full. And when midnight came, as I was standing and praying, the house where you shut me in was hung up by the four corners, and there was a flashing of light in mine eyes. And I fell to the ground trembling. Then some one lifted me up from the place where I had fallen, and poured over me an abundance of water from the head even to the feet, and put round my nostrils the odour of a wonderful ointment, and rubbed my face with the water itself, as if washing me, and kissed me, and said to me, Joseph, fear not; but open thine eyes, and see who it is that speaks to thee. And looking, I saw Jesus; and being terrified, I thought it was a phantom. And with prayer and the commandments I spoke to him, and he spoke with me. And I said to him: Art thou Rabbi Elias? And he said to me: I am not Elias. And I said: Who art thou, my Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus, whose body thou didst beg from Pilate, and wrap in clean linen; and thou didst lay a napkin on my face, and didst lay me in thy new tomb, and roll a stone to the door of the tomb. Then I said to him that was speaking to me: Show me, Lord, where I laid thee. And he led me, and showed me the place where I laid him, and the linen which I had put on him, and the napkin which I had wrapped upon his face; and I knew that it was Jesus. And he took hold of me with his hand, and put me in the midst of my house though the gates were shut, and put me in my bed, and said to me: Peace to thee! And he kissed me, and said to me: For forty days go not out of thy house; for, lo, I go to my brethren into Galilee.
—Gospel of Nicodemus. Translated by Alexander Walker
It is the end of World War II and the Allies have control of the German IG Farben factories and all of it's technologies. Enter American Charles Eliot Perkins ("Perkins"). Perkins, so the story goes, was a researcher in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology. He and other scientists were put in charge of the Farben industries shortly after the cessation of hostilities but it was Perkins who was informed that the German General Staff adopted the plan of using sodium fluoride to make prisoners-of-war more docile and easier to manipulate and control. There is no surviving evidence to suggest the Germans did actually do this though it was well within their doctrine to carry out such a practice. It is also claimed that the ultimate intention of the Nazis was to fluoridate every country that they occupied and this story, which the Pushers are desperate to ridicule, has gained credibility in recent years for a number of reasons.
------------
"We are told by fanatical ideologists who are advocating the fluoridation of the water supplies in this country that their purpose is to reduce the incidence of tooth decay in children, and it is the plausibility of this excuse, plus the gullibility of the public and the cupidity ( meaning covetousness - to desire or eagerly wish for ) of public officials that is responsible for the present spread of artificial water fluoridation in this country. However, and I want to make this very definite and very positive, the real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper and more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty... When the Nazis decided to go into Poland ... the German General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans and personnel and the scheme of mass medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to communize the world... I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly twenty years research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine. Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically."
---------------
The Russian connection is further enhanced by the statement of Major George Racey Jordan who was in charge of the shipment of sodium fluoride to Russia from Great Falls, Montana, via Alaska. He queried the shipment of considerable amounts of sodium fluoride to Russia and was told "frankly" that it was put into the drinking water in the prisoner-of-war camps to take away their will to resist. As for the CIA, who ultimately come into this story, the Statement further adds that the 'Rockefeller Report' to the United States President on CIA activities said:
"The drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of controlling human behaviour."

I live in London and there's fluoride in the water here.
The weather in November and early December 1952 had been very cold, with heavy snowfalls across the region. To keep warm, the people of London were burning large quantities of coal in their homes. Smoke was pouring from the chimneys of their houses.
---------
The fog finally cleared on December 9, but it had already taken a heavy toll.
About 4,000 people were known to have died as a result of the fog, but it could be many more.
Many people suffered from breathing problems
Press reports claimed cattle at Smithfield had been asphyxiated by the smog.
Travel was disrupted for days
-------
In 1962, for example, 750 Londoners died as a result of a fog,
-------
On each day during the foggy period, the following pollutants were emitted: ........ 14 tonnes of fluorine compounds.

Let's start off with the teensy fact that the Anglo-Scottish border is not the same as Hadrian's wall. If you read your own cites (and c'mon, what are the odds of THAT ever happening?) you'll see that the lengths are different. I could go into more history at this point, but I suspect that there's not much point as your cranial capacity is somewhat limited.
Then there's the rubbish about fluoride. No idea where you're going there, but hey - EBIL MASONS!!!! Right?
Can I ask where you learnt your history from? Conspiracy sites? This is just embarrassing! For you, let me make that point clear Maggers old tulip.
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

??????? Smog is not the same as fluoride in the water. Dearie me Maggers, can't you read your own sources again?
Like the deadly smogs that killed 12,000 people in London in 1952, the Donora deaths were swept under the carpet by officials; keeping the factories running was deemed far more important than a few "extra" deaths.
President Clinton appointed the Honorable Dr. Davis to the newly established Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, an independent executive branch agency that investigates, prevents, and mitigates chemical accidents, where she served from 1994–99.[2]
--------
She also advised the World Health Organization in developing its program on environmental health indicators and children’s environmental health, and traveled with the United Nations Development Program to China to advise on programmatic issues.
---------
A former Scholar in Residence at the National Academy of Sciences, she completed her Ph.D. in science studies at the University of Chicago as a Danforth Fellow, and an M.P.H. at Johns Hopkins University as a National Cancer Institute post-doctoral fellow.[1] She held post-doctoral positions with the National Science Foundation in the history, sociology and philosophy of science at Catholic University in 1971 and with World Man Fund and Lorenz K. Y Ng, MD at National Institutes of Health in 1975–76.
Three areas where Mellon's backing created giant enterprises were aluminum, industrial abrasives ("carborundum"), and coke. Mellon financed Charles Martin Hall, whose refinery grew into the Aluminum Company of America.
-------------
The Mellons were Protestant immigrants from Northern Ireland, who had settled in western Pennsylvania in 1818.
-----------
But Mellon was still almost unknown outside Pittsburgh, and it was only his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury in 1921 by Warren Harding which turned him into a national figure.
----------
But the Great Crash of 1929, combined with growing criticisms of his close business ties, meant Mellon lost the confidence of President Hoover, and early in 1932 he resigned from the Treasury, and was sent to Britain for a brief period as American Ambassador.
Initiated: June 28, 1901, Marion Lodge No. 70, Marion, Ohio. Because of some personal antagonism, Brother Harding's advancement was hindered until 1920, by which time he had been nominated for President. Friends persuaded the opposition to withdraw the objection, and on August 27, 1920, nineteen years after his Initiation, Brother Harding achieved the Sublime Degree of Master Mason, in Marion Lodge.
I did not decide to write the book Bloodline of the Holy Grail. The book happened by accident, not by design. It happened by virtue of the fact that for about the last ten years I have been the appointed historian and sovereign genealogist to thirty-three royal families. It happened because during those early periods I was documenting evidence on the history of those royal families and their noble offshoots, and the chivalric archives of those noble and sovereign families.
----------
The book happened by accident. Over a period of time-probably, looking back now, ten or twelve years ago-I began this work with separate commissions from separate families, doing work on these genealogies. What happened was they began to converge. It became very apparent-and it took a long time because genealogies have to be done backwards, put together backwards and constructed backwards-but what was happening was that a triangle, from a large top base with numerous family lines, was pulling in to a point.
----------
I suddenly realized what this point was, and I said, "Wow, do you realize what I’ve found here?"; and they said, "Ah, you know the father of so and so?"; and I said, "No, no, no; I’m actually finding that this comes out of the House of Judah in the first century"; and they said, "Oh, yeah, we know all that; what we wanted you to do was for you..."; and I said, "Well, there are millions of people out there who do not know about it, so let’s turn this triangle upside down and turn it into a book!". So that’s how the book happened.
