Republican front-runner Perry, the Texas governor, denounced the president’s Israel policy as “misguided and dangerous,” speaking to supporters in New York as the Obama administration worked a few miles away to thwart a U.N. vote to grant formal recognition to the Palestinian Authority.
Perry also accused Obama of appeasement, as did Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who assailed the president from the Midwest.
Perry’s chief rival for the nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, issued a statement accusing Obama of “throwing Israel under the bus.”
The Republican campaigns have similar goals: establish contrasts with Obama on an issue where he’s struggled; chip away at American Jews’ support for Democrats and prove their conservative, pro-Israel bona fides with the evangelical voters who will play a significant role in the GOP presidential primaries.
A 1998 voting guide published by a leading neo-Confederate group and obtained by Salon not only endorses Perry for lieutenant governor but also describes him as “a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.”
Visitors to the Sons of Confederate Veterans website are confronted by a video of a man in a grayuniform who proclaims, “One hundred and fifty years ago the men of the South left our homes and families to protect them from an illegal invasion and to fight for the rights our states held under the Constitution.” He continues: “Too many in your time want to tell lies about us and the reasons we went to war. We fought for you. It is now your turn to stand up to the South.”
The U.S. federal government is described by the group as “an empire”, but not for adventures and misadventures abroad; but for their presence in the south. The League of the South was also strongly-behind him and in fact have endorsed Perry in yeaes past.
Its core beliefs include the abolition of the income tax and central banking, a Southern republic that “revives the use of State Militias in place of maintaining large, standing
Perry’s flirtations with neo-Confederate organizations and symbols — ably documented by Justin Elliott– are so extraordinarily reprehensible that it should immediately and permanently disqualify him from being taken seriously for national office. [Amen!] The Confederacy was not a bunch of generally well-meaning dudes who went a little too far, it was a gang of racist traitors who launched a bloody war to defend a monstrously unjust institution. Having neo-Confederate sympathies in America should be equivalent to supporting the reconstituted Fascist party in Italy, or worse. It should not be considered something that 50 percent of the nation should be willing to look past, or even embrace.
And if that embracing happens it’ll be in part because of a press that won’t explicitly describe a disgusting sentimental attachment to a racist, brutal regime of oppression as anything other than an acceptable ploy to pick up Southern white support.
armies,” and a society that “perpetuates the chivalric ideal of manhood.” The group rejects “the American Empire that now occupies the South.”
This shouldn’t be surprising, but really, is this the guy so many in the GOP are pinning their hopes on? And I’m not getting into that recent-execution bit…
My Mortal Enemy – Denne Sweeney
Denne Sweeny took over the leadership of the Sons of Confederate Veterans from
my kinfolk, Anthoney Hodges. Above we see Sweeney ‘The Neo-Confederate Swine’
parading around with grown men in Confederate uniforms carrying Confederate
flags. He is the big guy in gueenish-grey coat. Here are some of the captions
that go with these photos. It sounds like Sweeney is commanding a imaginary army
standing up for “their ancestors” who have risen from the dead, risen from their
graves! Is this Judgment Day, or, Lord of the Rings?
http://the-bohemian-register.blogspot.com/
“Our Texas Division leaders were there standing up for their ancestors. (l-r)
Steve von Roeder, 2nd Lt. Commander; Denne Sweeney, Division Commander; Steve
Lucas, 1st Lt. Commander.
Commander Manning (and George Ballentine) get an audience with Representative
Suzanna Gratia Hupp representing District 54.
Texas Division Commander, Denne Sweeney, gives us our marching orders.”
One could say that when Joe Wilson called our President a liar, and when the
Speaker of the House and President Obama shot Wilson a hard stare, the
make-believe world of Denne Sweeney came alive because that shout is going to
play a big role in American History. Once again, the Confederate Traitors are –
up to bat! But, are they for real? How can they own real credibility if they are
coming out of the Republican Party founded by Radical Republicans who hated
everthing Sweeney stands for, and indeed, wanted to put his kind behind bars and
give their land to their Black Slaves!
No doubt Sweeney and his Swine are Republicans and Evangelicals who have
compromised their alleged Family Moral Traditions by being members of the
Republican party founded by Freethinkers, Ahteists, and Socialists. This has
tainted their make-believe religion founded by John Darby. This membership cast
doubt on their hegemony, their claim God gave them America and the Constitution.
THEY ARE COMPROMISED AND CORRUPTED! They are with sin! They should leave the
Republican Party – post haste – or lose their immortal soul and place in the
Second Coming of their “Killer Jesus” in the End Time Tribulation! Is this
tribulation for real? Will the Cohens rebuild Zion and the Temple?
A year ago I posted this. An hour ago I discovered what I have been searching
for for three years. The De Costa family helped establish Scottish Rite
Freemasonry in America. This family descends for King David, and thus are kin to
Jesus!
http://rougeknights.blogspot.com/search?q=De+Costa
Isaac De Costa, one of the deputies commissioned to establish Morin’s Rite of
the Royal Secret in other countries, formed constituent bodies of the Rite in
South Carolina in 1783, which eventually became, in 1801, The Supreme Council of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. All regular
Scottish Rite bodies today derive their heritage from this body.Subsequently,
other Supreme Councils were formed in Saint-Domingue in 1802, in France in 1804,
in Italy in 1805, and in Spain in 1811.[19]
The Rosamond and Hodges family came to own the “Jew’s land” that was owned by
the Da Costa family. Over a year ago I suggested the Neo-Confederate
Secessionists migrate to South Carolina in a New Exosdus, and build the new
Temple of Zion there. However, the Sephardic Jews led by Da Costa Cohens, were
heavily involved in the Slave Trade, and thus – ARE COMPROMISED AND CORRUPTED IN
THE EYES OF GOD AND JESUS!
This is the real Di Vinci Code, the real Rose Line, for this is all revealed in
the search of my Rosy Ancestors. This is the Greatest Story ever told! I have
already gathered most of my Angelic Army from the ranks of my Ancestors. The War
of Words for hearts and minds of the American People is becoming a firestorm!
Who shall lead my Nazarite Army of God? Will it be the Black Madonna my Rosemond
kinfolk worshipped in Holland that we see being carried in the Streets?
Or…………..
John The Nazarite Prophet
The Hodge family purchased land in South Carolina that once belonged to Francis
Salvador, a famous Jew who was killed in the Revolutionary War. This land was in
the 96th district where James Rosamond bought large tracts of land. This land is
titled the “Jews land” in the Hodge family genealogy. The Jews who owned this
land are kin to Jesus.
Rebecca Mendes da Costa also owned much property in the 96th. district. She was
of a famous Sephardic family, too, she kin to Doctor Mendes who tutored the
famous artist, Vincent Van Gough. The Salvador family lived in the Hague.
Francis Salvador, a wealthy Jewish merchant of London, applied to the Earl
Marshall in 1744 for a confirmation of the coat of arms that his father had
borne in Portugal, and on June 18 of that year, he received a grant of these
arms. His grandson, also named Francis, settled on a plantation of nearly seven
thousand acres in Ninety Six District. The lion might represent the tribe of
Judah, and thus the Exilarchs of Portugal.
Today, Congress should take the final step to bring God’s Spiritual Liberation
back into the world. Not since tens of thousand of devout Jews and Saints hurled
darts and stones down upon the Roman legions in defense of God’s House in 70
A.D. has humankind been so free. I have shown that this battle was a Jubilee
Rebellion where Go’el the Redeemer had declared all Jews free of their debts.As
many as two thirds of the white folk who came to America in the early years were
indentured slaves. Today, the descendants of those slaves, along with the black
slaves, forgave those they were, and are in debt to, and with their own money
rescued them from ruin. Many banks backed the slave trade. The Mended de Costa
family founded many powerful banks with profits they made from their involvement
in the slave trade. That these descendants of King David and Jesus could have
become wealthy slave masters, speaks volumes on how cleverly Jesus’ TRUE MESSAGE
and MISSION was oppressed and altered. Today, in the Spirit of Lord’s Prayer and
Divine Forgiveness THE KINGDOM OF GOD find a home in America. This is a Historic
and Biblical event without equal.
Today, every American should know who they are! When our Founding Fathers wrote
the Constitution they did not give black folk their freedom or a right to vote.
They did not give women the right to vote. How then is our Government God-given?
We are Liberated and Redeemed by our Gracious Hearts, our ability to forgive
those who put us in bonds. This is a Great Nation of Free People – free alas –
for We are all Redeemers!

He was the son of Jacob (Alvarez or Alvaro) da Costa, who is probably the Da
Costa referred to in the Thurlow Papers. Jacob da Costa arrived in England with
his family in 1655. He married Leonora (Rachel) Mendes, sister of Fernandez
(Fernando) Mendes, the Marrano physician of King John IV of Portugal.
Moses married his cousin Catherine Mendes in 1698. Catherine had been born in
Somerset House, and was named after Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles
II, who graciously consented to stand sponsor to her. This Catherine da Costa is
supposed to have made, in 1721, the water-colour portrait of her father which
now hangs in the vestry of the Bevis Marks Synagogue. Their children included
Sarah (Simha) Mendes da Costa who married Ephraim Lópes Pereira d’Aguilar, 2nd
Baron d’Aguilar.
Among his descendants were the physicist Edward Andrade and the comedian Sam
Costa.[edit] References

Birth of the Scottish Rite
Although most of the thirty-three degrees of the Scottish Rite existed in parts
of previous degree systems,[18] the Scottish Rite did not come into being until
the formation of the Mother Supreme Council at Charleston, South Carolina, in
May 1801.
Isaac De Costa, one of the deputies commissioned to establish Morin’s Rite of
the Royal Secret in other countries, formed constituent bodies of the Rite in
South Carolina in 1783, which eventually became, in 1801, The Supreme Council of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. All regular
Scottish Rite bodies today derive their heritage from this body.
Subsequently, other Supreme Councils were formed in Saint-Domingue in 1802, in
France in 1804, in Italy in 1805, and in Spain in 1811.[19]
On May 1, 1813, an officer from the Supreme Council at Charleston initiated
several New York Masons into the Thirty-third Degree and organized a Supreme
Council for the “Northern Masonic District and Jurisdiction.” On May 21, 1814
this Supreme Council reopened and proceeded to “nominate, elect, appoint,
install and proclaim in due, legal and ample form” the elected officers “as
forming the second Grand and Supreme Council….” Finally, the charter of this
organization (written January 7, 1815) added, “We think the Ratification ought
to be dated 21st day May 5815.”[20]
Officially, the Supreme Council, 33°, N.M.J. dates itself from May 15, 1867.
This was the date of the “Union of 1867,” when it merged with the competing
Cerneau “Supreme Council” in New York. The current Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States, was thus formed.[21]
A French trader, by the name of Estienne Morin, had been involved in high degree
Masonry in Bordeaux since 1744 and, in 1747, founded an “Ecossais” lodge (Scots
Masters Lodge) in the city of Le Cap Francais, on the north coast of the French
colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). Over the next decade, high degree
Freemasonry continued to spread to the Western hemisphere as the high degree
lodge at Bordeaux warranted or recognized seven Ecossais lodges there. In Paris
in the year 1761, a Patent was issued to Estienne Morin, dated 27 August,
creating him “Grand Inspector for all parts of the New World.” This Patent was
signed by officials of the Grand Lodge at Paris and appears to have originally
granted him power over the craft lodges only, and not over the high, or
“Ecossais”, degree lodges. Later copies of this Patent appear to have been
embellished, probably by Morin, to improve his position over the high degree
lodges in the West Indies. [10]
Early writers long believed that a “Rite of Perfection” consisting of 25
degrees, the highest being the “Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret”, and being
the predecessor of the Scottish Rite, had been formed in Paris by a high degree
council calling itself “The Council of Emperors of the East and West”. The title
“Rite of Perfection” first appeared in the Preface to the “Grand Constitutions
of 1786”, the authority for which is now known to be faulty. [11] It is now
generally accepted that this Rite of twenty-five degrees was compiled by
Estienne Morin and is more properly called “The Rite of the Royal Secret”, or
“Morin’s Rite” [12] . However, it was known as “The Order of Prince of the Royal
Secret” by the founders of the Scottish Rite, who mentioned it in their
“Circular throughout the two Hemispheres” [13] or “Manifesto,” issued on
December 4, 1802. [14]
Morin returned to the West Indies in 1762 or 1763, to Saint-Domingue, where,
armed with his new Patent, he assumed powers to constitute lodges of all
degrees, spreading the high degrees throughout the West Indies and North
America. Morin stayed in Saint-Domingue until 1766 when he moved to Jamaica. At
Kingston, Jamaica, in 1770, Morin created a “Grand Chapter” of his new Rite (the
Grand Council of Jamaica). Morin died in 1771 and was buried in Kingston. [15]
. 2. Henry Andrew Francken and his Manuscripts
The one man who was most important in assisting Morin in spreading the degrees
in the New World was a naturalized French subject of Dutch origin named Henry
Andrew Francken. Morin appointed him Deputy Grand Inspector General as one of
his first acts after returning to the West Indies. Francken worked closely with
Morin and, in 1771, produced a manuscript book giving the rituals for the 15th
through the 25th degrees. Francken produced at least two more similar
manuscripts, one in 1783 and another about 1786. The second and third of these
manuscripts included all the degrees from the 4th through the 25th. [16]
A Loge de Parfaits d’ Écosse was formed on 12 April 1764 at New Orleans,
becoming the first high degree lodge on the North American continent. Its life,
however, was short, as the Treaty of Paris (1763) ceded New Orleans to Spain,
and the Catholic Spanish crown had been historically hostile to Freemasonry.
Documented Masonic activity ceased for a time and did not return to New Orleans
until the 1790s. [15]
Francken travelled to New York in 1767 where he granted a Patent, dated 26
December 1767, for the formation of a Lodge of Perfection at Albany. This marked
the first time the Degrees of Perfection (the 4th through the 14th) were
conferred in one of the thirteen British colonies. This Patent, and the early
minutes of the Lodge, are still extant and are in the archives of Supreme
Council, Northern Jurisdiction. [15]
While in New York, Francken also communicated the degrees to Moses Michael Hays,
a Jewish businessman, and appointed him a Deputy Inspector General. In 1781,
Hays made eight Deputy Inspectors General, four of whom were later important in
the establishment of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in South Carolina: Isaac Da Costa
Sr., D.I.G. for South Carolina; Abraham Forst, D.I.G. for Virginia; Joseph M.
Myers, D.I.G. for Maryland; and Barend M. Spitzer, D.I.G. for Georgia. Da Costa
returned to Charleston, S.C., and established the “Sublime Grand Lodge of
Perfection” in February 1783. After Da Costa’s death in November 1783, Hays
appointed Myers as Da Costa’s successor. Joined by Forst and Spitzer, Myers
created additional high degree bodies in Charleston and, by 1801, the Charleston
bodies were the only extant bodies of the Rite in North America. [17]

of previous degree systems, [18] the Scottish Rite did not come into being until
the formation of the Mother Supreme Council at Charleston, South Carolina, in
May 1801.

France in 1804, in Italy in 1805, and in Spain in 1811. [19]

Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States, was thus formed. [21
[edit] Albert Pike
Born in Boston, Massachusetts on December 29, 1809, Albert Pike is asserted
within the Southern Jurisdiction as the man most responsible for the growth and
success of the Scottish Rite from an obscure Masonic Rite in the mid-1800s to
the international fraternity that it became. Pike received the 4th through the
32nd Degrees in March 1853 from Dr. Albert G. Mackey, in Charleston, S.C., and
was appointed Deputy Inspector for Arkansas that same year.
At this point, the degrees were in a rudimentary form, and often only included a
brief history and legend of each degree as well as other brief details which
usually lacked a workable ritual for their conferral. In 1855, the Supreme
Council appointed a committee to prepare and compile rituals for the 4th through
the 32nd Degrees. That committee was composed of Albert G. Mackey, John H.
Honour, W. S. Rockwell, C. Samory, and Albert Pike. Of these five committee
members, Pike did all the work of the committee.
In March 1858, Pike was elected a member of the Supreme Council for the Southern
Jurisdiction of the United States, and in January 1859 he became its Grand
Commander. The American Civil War interrupted his work on the Scottish Rite
rituals. About 1870 he, and the Supreme Council, moved to Washington, DC, and in
1884 his revision of the rituals was complete.[22]. Pike also wrote lectures for
all the degrees which were published in 1871 under the title Morals and Dogma of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.[23].
The Jewish Congregation of Charleston
By N[athaniel]. L[evin].
From the destruction of our second Temple to the close of the sixteenth century,
the wanderings of our people may be traced by the bloodshed and cruelties
practised upon and following them. The most horrible persecutions were
inflicted, and the most refined species of torture contrived, to render them
apostates to their religion, and blasphemers of their God. Among no nations was
this fiery persecution carried to a greater extreme than those of Spain and
Portugal. Thousands of our hapless brethren were inhumanely dragged to the rack,
and suffered the severest tortures their bodies could endure: the blazing fagots
of the “auto-da-fe” consumed both parent and child, husband and wife; and while
their quivering flesh betrayed the weakness of humanity, the proud immortal
spirit spurned the gift of life for the price at which it was offered was more
revolting than death in its most hideous form. The most lenient measures adopted
by these nations for the destruction of our people were the confiscation of the
property and the banishment of the Jews from their dominions. The dungeon, the
torture, and the flame, proved ineffectual in apostatizing them; for the
conscientious Jew amid the flames, in his darkest hour of tribulation, called
for aid upon the God of his forefathers, the “God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of
Jacob.”
The present condition of these countries, shrouded as they are in ignorance and
superstition uncivilized and unrefined, without national resources, their
colonies torn from them by other nations, and intestine wars preying upon their
vitality, proves incontrovertibly that the retributive hand of the Deity is upon
them for their cruelties and intolerance to our people.
When the Jews were banished from Spain thousands fled to Holland, and many of
them sought the western hemisphere, deeming it a securer asylum than any other
land afforded. It was to America, to this great land (in which liberty has
erected her sacred temple) they strained their eager eyes, and from the
persecutions of the old, fled to the new world, to enjoy the great prerogative
of worshipping God according to the dictates of their consciences, untrammeled
by priestcraft, or the strong arm of arbitrary rule. Many of the founders of
this congregation were the direct descendants of those Jews who were driven from
Spain by the barbarous decrees of that government. A large number of them
settled in this state, and when the revolutionary struggle commenced, all those
who could bear arms joined the American army, and were zealously engaged in
defending the liberties of their adopted country. They knew full well that
victory would bring them the rich reward of religious and political freedom; and
their ancestors having told them the story of the wrongs they had endured, the
fiery ordeal of intolerance and persecution through which they had passed: the
fathers of our congregation poured forth their energies and blood as water to
possess those great blessings which were denied to their ancestors. Toil,
privations and hardships they endured; deeds of noble and heroic daring they
undertook; and their gallantry was rewarded with the priceless treasure of
religious and political freedom.
As early as the year 5510, (1750th of the Christian era,) the following
Israelites dwelt in this city: Moses Cohen, (under whose auspices the
congregation was formed,) Isaac De Costa, Joseph Tobias, Meshed Tobias, Moses
Pimenta, (a man learned in the laws, who taught the Jewish youth, and manifested
an untiring zeal for the advancement of the religion of his forefathers in this
country,) David de Olivera, Abraham De Costa, Mordecai Sheftall, Levy Sheftall,
Michael Lazarus, and Abraham Nunez Cardoza. The descendants of most of these
persons are now living, and members of the congregation.
