Barack Obama and the Masonic Martyr

"I love human beings. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there."

If I had to guess, I would say that Barack Obama is a Freemason ... One individual we know for sure was a very high-ranking Freemason of the Scottish Rite is Virgil "Gus" Grissom (1926-1967), one of the original NASA astronauts and a man many see as a martyr to the increasing corruption of the space program. Alone among the original astronauts, Grissom is has retained the incredible mystique that the space jockeys had in the 60s.

Most importantly, he lent his name to the male lead "Gil Grissom" on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, played by William Petersen of The Skulls fame. Given that CSI runs on the All-Seeing Eye network, I believe whoever chose this name was making a definite statement.

[ ... ] Many people believe that Grissom was murdered for his criticism of NASA, and see him as a martyr- a symbol of a lost dream.

Is one of those people Barack Obama?

He must be, because he announced his candidacy for the Presidency "exactly forty years after the cover date of the issue of Life magazine that covered the state funeral of Gus Grissom and the other Apollo 1 astronauts." And in a speech before the Senate, exactly eighty years after Grissom's birth, Obama said, "And just recently, this is the administration that tried to silence a NASA scientist for letting the rest of us know that yes, climate change is a pretty big deal" -- he must be referring, not to the then-current ("this") administration, but to one forty years earlier that "silenced" Gus Grissom (who, to my knowledge, never said anything about climate change).

Oh, and Obama also made an important speech to the Council on Foreign relations -- at Purdue, the university Gus Grissom graduated from. And this speech was made on July 16th, 2008 -- the anniversary of the date Apollo XI was launched, the mission Grissom would have commanded.

Oh, and we must not forget that Barack and Michelle Obama were married on October 3, 1992 -- the thirtieth anniversary of the day "Astronaut Wally Schirra manually blew Sigma 7's hatch after splashdown, in a deliberate attempt to dispel the rumor that Grissom might have blown Liberty Bell 7's hatch deliberately."

And it's deeply significant that the 2008 Democratic National Convention, where Obama was nominated, took place in Denver: that city was the hometown of Titanic passenger Margaret Brown, nicknamed "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" -- and Grissom nicknamed his first mission after Liberty Bell 7 the Molly Brown.

My head hurts.
 
"I love human beings. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there."

I was thinking of this precise topic just yesterday, July 23, the anniversary of...I don't know, something important I'm sure. (The following story is all true!) I bought a pair of running shoes the day before, and I decided to break them in with a nice, slow 14 mile jog. At the halfway point -- in other words, at the moment when I had completed 7 miles and had 7 to go -- I checked my time, which at that point was 64 minutes and 15 seconds. I did a quick mental calculation and realized that my per-mile pace worked out to 9 minutes and 11 seconds.

Now think of it: when I had 7 miles completed and 7 to go, I was averaging 9 minutes and 11 seconds per mile.

7...and 7...7/7! 9...and 11...9/11!! Oh noes!!! This can only mean that 7/7 and 9/11 are connected, and that I must be involved somehow!!! Damn, I would have been the last person I suspected, but numbers don't lie, do they? I mean, what are the odds!!! Only some shill would think it's just some coincidence, right? Wake up sheeple, it's obvious!!

I guess the real moral of this story (and the OP) is that slightly weird stuff is everywhere if you look hard enough. The mistake is when you try to connect these random dots and then insist the resultant squiggle is somehow meaningful. But I guess such thinking is the lifeblood of CTers, who in their ceaseless efforts to squeeze significance out of the weird and irrelevant, end up that way themselves.

These "Grissom was assassinated" ideas always fail to consider that the Apollo 1 fire was a disaster for NASA that almost killed the Apollo program before it had ever gotten off the ground. I mean couldn't NASA have just sabotaged his T-38 or something? Why kill him in such a manner that would be so exhaustively investigated and might, in and of itself, result in the dissolution of the agency?
 
What is it with the loons always proclaiming everyone is a freemason? I am not sure if Grissom is a freemason but I can find nothing other than nutjob sources making the claim. Given that the fraternity loves to trumpet famous masons, if someone of his historical significance had been a member I'm confident it would be on a masonic website some where.

And now I have to rant about the Barack thing:

Oh dear. I thought grand lodges had pretty roundly debunked this "Obama is a mason" stuff a year ago - of course, I guess you can never REALLY convince the woos.

I think I can speak for masons everywhere when I say that, regardless of political persuasion, we would be honored to have Barack Obama as a mason. If he stated he was interested tomorrow, Grand Masters for every state in the union would be rushing the doors of the white house trying to make him a mason at sight (without the rituals) just to be able to say he is a member of their jurisdiction. I can say the same thing of Bill Clinton, George Bush, etc.

We wish it were true. But it's not, and I can't understand why the woos keep pushing this. The man once attended a political event in a lodge that had been rented out for the evening - just like most lodges rent out their buildings when its not being put in use. He makes speeches at important Apollo anniversaries - his job as president. Although a Scottish Rite flag was brought to the moon, the first flag out was the American flag because it had no specific masonic significance. Thats as close to freemasonry as he has ever come.

Barack has probably the most unconvincing connections to freemasonry you could possibly have.

Best example of making something out of a whole lot of nothing:



It's ten minutes. But, just watch it - seriously.

Why don't you just run a little faster, you fat pig?

Shucks, I don't know -- I wanted to run faster, but something kept holding me back. I think it was a space beam weapon!

Maybe next time I'll run 20 miles and at the 9 mile mark (with 11 to go) I'll check my pace. If it's 7 minutes and 7 seconds per mile, I'll just go straight to the FEMA camp I just know is lurking in the woods behind my house.
 
Y'know, I'd very much like to be a Freemason. My grandfather was Scottish Rite and for some reason I'm not inclined to dig into (Heh!) my father and brother are in a Masonic cemetery. OTOH, when I tried to get myself invited, I was told that it was NOT a secret organization bent on taking over the world and I wasn't inclined to pay the dues and learn thw handshakes needed to prove that impression wrong. I'd probably, after years of training, be shunted off to the Shriner track and not the Illuminatus track.

ETA: That'd blow.
