Let's fall into the air, leave the air and the air. Let's fall into the air, let's fall into the air, let's fall into the air. You're listening to The Hour of Time on Two. And I'm William Cooper. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, intervisible, with liberty and justice for all. Wow, I've got to apologize to you folks for our delayed airtime. I don't know what went wrong here, but our equipment was playing the cues and the lead-in at about 500 miles an hour. It's never done that before. I don't know why it did it. I don't even know how it did it. I'm just thankful that we're here. And everything seems to be working now. Don't go away. I'll be right back. I don't know why it did it. I don't know why it did it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And discredit the United Nations Association in Gainesville. And we were successful. We did it. But they haven't learned the lesson. Another flag is flying now. So I'm going to ask you to do the same thing again. Call the Gainesville City Manager tomorrow. And keep calling until the flag comes down. The Gainesville City Manager's number is 904-334-2011. That's 904-334-2011. Tell them we don't care if it's the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. It has nothing to do with us whatsoever. The Assistant City Manager is 904-334-2220. So for the rest of the numbers I'm going to read you. It's 904-334. So I'm just going to read the last four digits. Assistant City Manager, 2220. The Deputy City Manager, 2011. That's the Deputy City Manager, 2011. The City Commission, 2006. That's the City Commission, 2006. Now, folks, a very nice ceremony took place in Oklahoma City today. Nothing to do with the bombing. Nothing whatsoever to do with the bombing. Had to do with something entirely different. This is a report from our people in Oklahoma City. I'm going to read it verbatim because it's very well written. At 6 p.m. this evening, approximately 30 members of the Oklahoma Militia, the Oklahoma Freedom Network, the Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence, the Intelligence Service, and representatives from two branches of the John Birx Society met on the south steps of the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City to burn the United Nations flag in protest of the 50th anniversary of that organization. Criminal organization, if you will. Tempting to destroy the sovereignty of all the nation states. Prior to the event, one of the organizers met with Capitol Police to obtain a permit to hold the small rally on the Capitol steps. He was asked what he wanted to do during the rally and told the police officer that the group intended to burn a flag. This didn't seem to bother the police any, although it at first raised a few eyebrows. The officer then asked which flag was being burned. When he explained that the United Nations flag was to be burned, huge grins spread across the faces of the officers in the permit department. Thumbs went up around the room. One officer said, Hurrah! And the officer issuing the permit smiled broadly saying, quote, Right on, end quote, as he handed over the rally permit. Although every local television and radio station in the metro area had received advanced notice of the event, only KWTV Channel 9 sent a lone cameraman to cover the protest. Bill Bauer, one of the organizers of Oklahoma Freedom Network, was briefly interviewed during the noon newscast on KTOK radio about the protest against the United Nations. But the tone of the interview gave the impression that Mr. Bauer and his organization were laughable but harmless fooks. The media was not going to take this seriously, if they even reported it at all, which is the standard procedure for the communist news networks. And I don't care where they are, how little or big they are, if they're not telling the truth, they're the communist news networks, even in Oklahoma City. When I telephoned KFOR, Channel 4 television, in the late morning to make sure they knew about the protest, they said they knew about it, but were not interested in covering it. The media did everything possible to ignore the event and went out of their way to make sure that no announcements were made to inform the public about the protest. In speaking with the people present, most had heard about the flag burning from friends, our friends of friends. And those who took the time to come did so because they wanted to make a personal stand against the United Nations and everything evil that it represents. Prior to the formal opening of the brief ceremony, all participants were given a printed copy of the United Nations logo, over which was superimposed the universal no symbol. These papers would be used as kindling for the burning of the United Nations flag at the appropriate moment. Shortly after 6 o'clock, as we huddled closely in the lengthening shadows of the trees around the Capitol building, shivering in a cold 35-mile-an-hour northwest wind, the meeting was officially called to order. Throughout the ceremony, a large American flag was flying, held by a member of the Oklahoma Freedom Network. All recited the Pledge of Allegiance. A member of the Oklahoma militia offered a prayer. And then another member addressed the group and the Channel 9 news cameraman, explaining why we were gathered together at that time and in that place. One of the members explained that similar ceremonies had been taking place all over the country, some yesterday, some today, and that patriots were gathering in many states to demonstrate against the United Nations and to support Specialist Michael New, who had refused to wear the United Nations insignia on his Army uniform and was facing court-martial because of his stand. Copies of 1994's Oklahoma House Resolution, number 1047, were handed out to those present, entitled, U.S. Military Forces Under U.N. Authority, Opposition, Memorializing Congress, in which the Oklahoma House of Representatives had taken a stand against the presence of the United States military in United Nations operations and memorializing the United States Congress to cease providing funding for military operations not authorized by Congress, to cease participation in military activities under United Nations authority, to cease rendering aid to any activity under United Nations jurisdiction, and to cease support for the establishment of a new world order or any form of global government. Members of the Oklahoma Freedom Network collected signatures on petitions which will be presented to the Oklahoma State Legislature next February, when the confirmation hearings will begin concerning Bob Rick's appointment by Governor Frank Keating to serve as the head of the Oklahoma State Department of Public Safety. Many signatures have already been collected from the southwestern part of the state where Oklahoma Freedom Network is headquartered, and those signing wished to make it known that they do not want Bob Rick's brand of law enforcement in our state. At the present time, Bob Rick's has already taken his place as the head of the Public Safety Department, having retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But until the February confirmations take place, Mr. Rick's has not been officially accepted in that position. For those of you who may not, by some fluke of absolute and total ignorance or memory loss, not know who Bob Rick's is, he's one of the people responsible for the Waco Massacre. Because of the high winds and dry conditions, a burn ban had been issued this morning against all outdoor burning. But because the Capitol Police were in favor of burning the United Nations flag, and because a metal container was provided which would hold the burning flag, and appropriately it was a garbage can, the burn ban was overlooked for this ceremony. As cries of death to the new world order, and down with the United Nations, echoed across the plaza steps in front of the Capitol, the United Nations flag was doused with paint thinner and set ablaze as all participants threw their printed United Nations symbols into the flames. The flag curled, shriveled, and crumbled miserably, pathetically, and pitifully into ash. All cheered. As is the custom at these meetings, the speaker's platform, called the Soapbox, was made available for anyone wishing to speak. Brief words were offered honoring the fathers or husbands who had served and bled for our country, concluding that the United Nations was an insult and an affront to their sacrifice. The crowd was reminded that the Conference of States issue was not yet dead, and that even as we spoke, meetings were quietly being held in the Omni Netherlands Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio, where organizers hoped the Conference of States proposals could be resurrected. All were encouraged to keep their ears tuned to the shortwave radio. The hour of the time was vigorously promoted, because the mainstream press has been keeping very quiet about the Cincinnati meeting and what is happening there. The folks present were encouraged to go back to their areas, organize their people, and continue vigorously protesting against the Conference of States. We stopped it once, and it can be stopped again. The Oklahoma militia was discussed and a brief explanation of the militia was given. The organizations present made known the times and places of their monthly meetings and phone numbers and addresses were exchanged. The John Birch Society provided copies of the latest issue of The New American, and members spoke briefly about educational materials available from the society. Now, folks, I don't have anything against the John Birch Society. In fact, I encourage membership. They have an awful lot of educational materials, and they do a lot of educating. But I take great issue with their stance that their members should not participate in anything other than the vote. If everybody in this nation really believes that baloney and participates only in the vote, the New World Order will come much quicker than anyone ever dreamed. And its influence will be much more cruel, I can assure you. The vote is always rigged. It doesn't matter who you vote for. By the time there are two clear candidates opposing each other, they both belong to the other side, ladies and gentlemen. In most, not all instances, but most. Anyone in this country today who believes that you are going to change anything in the future, strictly by the vote today, isn't playing with a full deck of cards. Or maybe you've taken a hint from Rush Limbaugh and you're sitting on half your brain. Or maybe you bent over the toilet and accidentally flushed it down. I don't know. But the vote is no longer the answer. Ladies and gentlemen, it should be clear. The last election should have made it clear. What's happening in the country today should make it crystal clear. Quentin is going to run unopposed, ladies and gentlemen. And the conservative vote is going to be fractured into five million pieces. As if it made any difference anyway. And you have people running that you're slathering all over for who have given their oath of allegiance to foreign powers and secret societies and other agendas. Most of which you're not even remotely aware of. I continue. The United Nations flag having been burned and with everyone freezing in the twilight, the meeting was adjourned and the people dispersed. It was a peaceful, orderly gathering attended by but a few dedicated souls who really care about the state of the nation and the preservation of our freedoms. And there would have been many more had it been publicized. But it was not. The day may come when the couch potatoes find themselves being served for dinner along with the sheeple who have become stakes on the table by choice and consent. As is always the case, those very few who give with the greatest commitment of heart will be the ones who will fight to restore our greatest way of life, liberty. It is ever thus. The numbers don't matter. This afternoon's ceremony was a symbolic act but solid patriots need not fear that their small stands on principle automatically means small results. When the commitment and dedication is high and when passion energizes the courage of conviction, a few good men and women can overcome any enemy whose only motivation is a paycheck and obedience to the state.

When the Queen of Sheba had been shown the gorgeous palace of Solomon and had bestowed her choice gifts of gold and wrought work, she asked also to be shown the great temple, which was nearing completion. She marveled much at the magnitude of the work, but wondered at the seeming absence of workmen and the stillness about the place. And she therefore requested Solomon to call the workmen. That she might see who had wrought this wonder. But though the servants of Solomon at the palace obeyed the slightest wish of the monarch, and although he had been appointed by the god Jehovah to build the temple, these workmen were not subject to his authority. They only yielded obedience to one who had the word and the sign. Therefore, no one appeared at the call of Solomon. And the Queen of Sheba could not escape the conclusion that this marvelous miracle was wrought by another and one who was greater than Solomon. And so she insisted on knowing and seeing the king of crafts and his wonderful workmen, much to the chagrin of Solomon, who felt that he had fallen in her estimation. The temple of Solomon is our solar universe, which forms the great school of life for our evolving humanity. The broad lines of its history, past, present, and future, are written in the stars, its main outlines being discernible to anyone of average intelligence. In the microcosmic scheme, the temple of Solomon is also the body of man, wherein the individualized spirit or ego is evolving, as God is in the great universe. Work on the true temple, as we are told in 2 Corinthians 5th chapter, is wrought by invisible forces working in silence, building the temple without sound or hammer. As the temple of Solomon was visible in all its glory to the queen of Sheba, so the evidence of the toil of these invisible forces is easily perceived, both in the universe and in man. But they themselves keep in the background and work without ostentation. They hide from all who have not the right to see them or to command them. The relation of these nature forces to the work they do in the universe may perhaps be better understood when we use an illustration. Let us suppose that a carpenter wishes to build a house wherein to live. He selects a place whereon to build and brings the material dither. Then, with the tools of his trade, he commences to lay the foundation. Gradually the walls are put up, the roof put on, the inside completed, and the structure finished. During all the time while he is working, a dog, which is an intelligent spirit belonging to another and later life wave of evolution, watches his actions in the whole process of construction and sees the house gradually take shape and reach completion. But it lacks the proper understanding of what he is doing and of what is the ultimate purpose in his mind. Let us now suppose that the dog were unable to see the carpenter or to hear the noise made by his hammer and other tools. Then it would be in the same relation to this builder as humanity at large is to the architect of the universe and the forces which work under his command. For the dog would then see only the materials coming together slowly and taking shape, finally forming a finished structure. Humanity also sees the silent growth of plant, of beast, and of bird, but is unable to understand what causes this physical growth and the change, changes in the visible universe. For it does not see the immense army of invisible workmen who are silently toiling in the soundless silence to bring about these results, nor do they respond to the call of anyone who has not the sign and the word of power, no matter how high his standing or station in the world. The church man always emphasizes the necessity of faith, while the statesman emphasizes and places his reliance on work. But when faith flowers into work, we reach the highest ideal of expression. Humanity may and does admire lofty sentiment and brilliant oratory. But when a Lincoln unbinds the shackles of a downtrodden race, or when a Luther revolts in behalf of the fretted spirits of humanity and secures religious freedom for them, the outward action of these emancipators reveals a beauty of soul never discernible in those who soar in cloud land, but fear to soil their hands by actual work on the temple of humanity. The latter are not true temple builders and would be unable to gain inspiration from the site of that wonderful temple described by Manson in, quote, the servant in the house, end quote. The author calls him Man-Son. This may mean that he regards him as the son of man, but it may also be that he meant Mason for the servant in the house was also a temple builder. It is wonderful what insight the author of the play must have had when he planned the scene where his servant, the workman in love with his work, tells the worldly-minded church man who is full of platitudes and is vile as a whited sepulter of the temple which he, the workman, built. This conception is a mystic gem and we append it for the reader's meditation. Quote, I am afraid you may not consider it an altogether substantial concern. It has to be seen in a certain way under certain conditions. Some people never see it at all. You must understand that this is no dead pile of stones and unmeaning timber. It is a living thing. When you enter it, you hear a sound. A sound of some mighty poem chanted. Listen long and you will learn that it is made up of the beating of human hearts, of the nameless music of men's souls. That is, if you have ears, if you have eyes, you will presently see the church itself, a looming mystery of many shapes and shadows leaping sheer from floor to dome the work of no ordinary builder. The pillars of it go up like the brawny trunks of heroes. The sweet human flesh of men and women is molded about its bulwarks. Strong, impregnable, the faces of little children laugh out from every cornerstone. The terrible spans and arcs of it are the joined hands of comrades. And up in the heights and spaces are inscribed the numberless musings of all the dreamers in the world. It is yet building, building and built upon. Sometimes the work goes forward in deep darkness, sometimes in blinding light. Now beneath the burden of unutterable anguish, now to the tune of great laughter and heroic shoutings like the cry of thunder. Sometimes in the silence of the night one may hear the tiny hammerings of the comrades at work in the dome. the comrades that have gone aloft. It is such a temple that the mystic mason is building. He endeavors to work on the temple of humanity at large. But since, and I quote, when the rose adorns itself, it adorns the garden. He aims also to cultivate his own spiritual powers as foreshadowed in the molten sea. Solomon had already sued for the hand of the queen of Sheba and had been accepted. So feeling that the meeting with Hiram Abiff might change her affections, he endeavored to consummate their marriage before granting her wish to meet the grand master. The queen was obstinate. She sensed the grandeur of the master at workland whose skill had wrought the marvelous temple and she felt intuitively drawn towards this man of action as she had never been moved by the wisdom of Solomon which only found verbal expression in flowery speeches and high ideals which he was unable to carry into realization. Therefore, the reluctance of Solomon to let her meet Hiram Abiff made the queen all the more anxious and importunate so that at last Solomon was forced to accede to her request and he grudgingly sent for the grand master. When Hiram Abiff appeared and Solomon saw the love-like kindle in the eyes of the queen of Sheba jealousy and hatred took root in his heart. He was, however, too wise to betray his feelings but from that moment the plan of reconciliation and amalgamation of the sons of Seth and the sons of Cain which had been mapped out by the divine hierarchies was doomed to failure wrecked upon the rocks of jealousy and self-seeking. The queen of Sheba according to the Masonic legend then requested Hiram Abiff to show her the workmen on the temple. The grand master struck a nearby rock with his hammer so that the fire sparks flew and that the sign of fire coupled with the work of power the toilers of the temple flocked around their master in a great multitude which no one could count all ready and anxious to do his bidding and this spectacle so impressed the queen of Sheba with the wonderful power of this man that she determined to jilt Solomon and win the heart of Hiram Abiff in other words humanity when its eyes are opened to the impotence of the churchmen the sons of Seth who are themselves dependent upon divine favor and when it sees the power and potency of the rulers of temporal fame is then ready to rush to them and leave the spiritual for the material this from the microcosmic angle of the matter from the cosmic angle our viewpoint we note again that Solomon's temple is the solar universe and Hiram Abiff the grand master is the sun which travels around the twelve signs of the zodiac enacting there the mystic drama of the masonic legend at the bernal equinox the sun leaves the watery sign Pisces which is also feminine and docile for the belligerent and the martial energetic fiery sign Aries the ram or lamb where it is exalted in power it fills the universe with a creative fire which is immediately seized upon by the innumerable billions of nature spirits who therewith build the temple of the coming year in forest and fin the forces of fecundation applied to the countless seeds slumbering in the ground causes them to germinate and fill the earth with luxuriant vegetation while the grouped spirits mate the beasts and birds in their charge so that they may bring forth and increase sufficiently to keep the fauna of our planet at normal and those of you in those few sentences may have recognized the lyrics of a song that I play quite frequently on this broadcast according to the masonic legend Hiram Abiff the grand master used a hammer to call his workman and it is significant that the symbol of the sign Ares where this wonderful creative activity commences is shaped like a double ram's horn which also resembles a hammer it is also worthy of notice that in the ancient Norse mythology the vanir are water deities are said to have been conquered by the Asir our fire gods the hammer wherewith the Norse god Thor struck fire from the sky finds its counterpart in the thunderbolt of Jove like Hiram the Asir belong to the hierarchy of fire the Lucifer spirits the sons of Cain striving for positive mastership through individual effort and therefore upholding the male ideal the phelus the obelisk the generative force thought desire action which is dramatically opposite to that of the hierarchy which works in the plastic element water in the present day temples of the latter order magic water stands at the door and all who enter are required to apply this lethal liquid to the point in the forehead where the spirit resides their reason is drowned in dictums and dogmas and the female ideal is worshipped in the virgin mary faith is the prime factor in their salvation the attitude of unquestioning childlike obedience being cultivated it is different in the temple of the other order when the candidate enters there poor naked and blind he is asked at once what he is seeking and when he answers light it is the duty of the master to give what he asks and make him a free mission literally a child of light or the sons of light it is his duty also to teach him to work and a male ideal Hiram Abiff the master workman is presented for emulation he is taught to be always ready to give a reason for his faith as he qualifies in the work he rises step by step and at each degree more light is given there are three times three degrees in the lesser mysteries when the candidate has passed the ninth arc he is in the holy of holies which forms the gate to greater fields beyond the scope of masonry for further elucidation of that subject the student is referred to the chapters of initiation volcanic eruption and the number nine in the rosicrucian cosmo conception advancement and promotion in mystic masonry is not dependent on favor it cannot be given till it has been earned and the candidate has stored in himself the power to rise any more than a pistol can be fired till it has been loaded initiation is merely like pulling the trigger and consists in showing the candidate how to use the power latent within himself there were some among the workmen on the temple who thought they ought to be promoted to a higher degree but who had not the power within therefore Hiram could not initiate them and as they were unable to see that the lack was in themselves they felt provoked at Hiram as over ambitious candidates of today feel slighted and stamp a spiritual teacher as a fraud who is unable to give them immediate illumination and induction into the invisible while they are still eating of the flesh pots of Egypt and unwilling to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of self denial but dissatisfied among Hiram's men entered into a conspiracy to spoil his great masterpiece the molten sea and ladies and gentlemen we will continue tomorrow night when we begin the casting of the molten sea remember the soul of the rose cannot perfect itself until it has been sacrificed upon the cross of life now it makes no difference whether you believe this or you don't believe it but I will tell you that those who are bringing the great changes in the world today believe every word of it and so it matters not whether you believe it or not whether you care about it or not whether you laugh at it or whether you take it seriously it will affect you and if you do not know it and if you do not understand it and you stand in its way you will surely be struck down you cannot fight a battle if you do not know your enemies I'll tell you right now it's all total utter and complete bullshit it is the method of deceiving those in the lower levels so that they may be controlled through the process of the degrees of initiation and it weeds out those who cannot be trusted and allows only those who can to reach the highest levels good night ladies and gentlemen don't miss tomorrow night and god bless you all all you have you Lord never you
