    One Mans Opinion

    Part IWell it appears that the nation didnt listen to me the last time, so Iguess I have to tell everyone again about hats. I dont know whatthose metro-sexual European designers are smoking or drinking but

    this latest reincarnation of hats with the little brim is ridiculous. I knowthis is not the first time the little brims are in fashion. I rememberback in the mid 1950s when all mens hats where made that way.Yes, even I wore them 50 years ago, because I was a child and thatswhat my parents bought me and I didnt know any better. Back then we call them Stingy Brims. In the1930s and 40s they wore the big brim hats. Just look at any old movie. EVERY self respecting manwore a hat with a big brim. Luckily the world came back to its senses and put a larger brim back on thehats. It just makes too much sense. The brim in the front is to protect your eyes from the sun. The brimin the back is to prevent rain from running down your neck. These new (old) Stingy Brims do neither.You might as well be wearing a yarmulke or a skull cap. To me they just look silly. Its even worst if youhave a big head like I do. Im tired of seeing fellows with big heads walking around with a bowl on their

    head with the brim the size of a little girls hair ribbon hanging off the side. And NO, it does not makeyou look cool to turn the brim up in the back. So fellows, immediately after reading this, go to yourcloset, take out that little dainty hat that your wife or girlfriend bought you and set it on fire. Becausethats all its good for. You cant even wear it to do yard work, because.see above...they dont protectyour eyes or neck. So just burn it.

    Oh and have you noticed how many WOMEN are going out and buying these Sting Brims, thatsbecause they think theyre cute. Now think about it, do you want to go to your closet looking for yourhat only to find out your wife or daughter has borrowed it. Theyll put it back with all the hair spritz,driptz and drap they use, now youll have it on your bald head too. Ive already written about women inmens hats, so I wont repeat it all, only to say its just WRONG. There ought to be a constitutionalamendment forbidding it and Im sure even though I havent checked, there must be a Bible versestating, Thou shalt not wear your mans hat in public

    So in closing, Remember, First, Dont Buy those Stingy Brims, Second, if you have one already, BURNIT, dont even donate to the Salvation Army. Dont subject the less fortunate with big heads to walkaround with those things on their heads. BURN THEM NOW! Lastly, go out and buy yourself a MANsHat with the BIG BRIM. A good one will last for 20 years or more. If you dont want to buy one rightnow, RENT one of mine, I have 18 BIG BRIMS in many colors.Remember though you must have aBig Head like me.

    Just, One Mans Opinion.

    Live Long and Prosper

    Why Is This33 Freemason & Shriner Still In

    Prison?!?

    If you want to know the truth and facts, please openhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJdJRf5h_Pk Mysteries Behind ClosedDoors: The Untold Story of The Dr. Malachi Z. YorkCase. There are sevenparts to this which will open your eyes to the reality of what has taken place rightunder your nose.

    What is it about this man of sterling character that court records were sealed fromthe public? Why is he the only person in the history of the United States to havehis trial held on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday, a federal holiday

    hich is a violation of the law? What is it that others know about the great worksof this noble soul that you do not know? Why as Masons, Shriners and EasternStars you have not investigated this case? Why have only his brothers in Africa

    come to his Distress Symbol? All Hail Liberia, Hail is all he said and they knewand came. Oh Lord! My God! Is there no help for the widow's son? Now is thetime to respond to this Grand Hailing Sign of Distress and show forth the powerof the brotherhood.

    Dr. Malachi Z. York" I am Innocent! "

    What about your cable tow?

    The cable tow is an outward or seeable pledge of submission and fidelity. It is the symbol of a vow to assist another, tobe pulled along, even at the risk of our lives. Its strength and length depend upon a mans ability to fulfill hisobligations. It is a test of his character and his capacity to love and devotion to the Masonic family.

    How long is a cable tow?

    It is as long as you want it to be. It will reach as far as your moral principles go or your material conditions will allow.You are holding onto the rope that makes you a part of a tug-of-war against evil. You are on the side of The Most High,pulling for right or truth and wont ever let go. Each man must be his own judge of the length of his cable tow. But ifthe chord of each Freemason were tied around the planet, 24,896 miles, no earthly power could break the bond ofbrotherhood. It is truly the Mystic Tie that binds the Masonic Brotherhood Worldwide together. This tie keepsFreemasonry a house undivided.

    In my heart and in my mind from my experiences, the sectism and the separation will be eliminated by the efforts ofthose amongst us whose concerns are Freemasonry and Shrinedom and not self-gains and ego. This is taken from (in

    part) The Universal Lessons of The Masonic Lodge, The Secret Degrees and Studies of E.A. EnteredApprentice written byIll. Dr. Malachi Zodoq York-El 33/720, The Sovereign Grand Commander of theNuwaupian Worldwide Masonic Lodges.

    Please come to your brothers aide. Dont let anyone get away with this unless you are prepared to be set up yourself forteaching facts. Do your own investigation of the facts. We are asking every Mason, Shriner and Eastern Star regardlessof your fraternal affiliation to send this email to everyone you know so that its spans the globe. The world needs toknow that we will not allow this to happen to any of us . The truth must be told, for the very soul of God is at risk. Weare our brothers keeper and stand united in Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this.www.thenuwaubiangrandlodge.com & www.almahdishrine.com

    John and Jake went into a diner that looked

    as though it had seen better days. As theyslid in to a booth, John wiped some crumbsfrom the seat. Then he took a napkin andwiped some mustard from the table. Thewaitress, in a dirty uniform, came over andasked if they wanted some menus.

    "No thanks," said John, "I'll just have a cupof black coffee."

    "I'll have black coffee, too," Jake said. "Andplease make sure the cup is clean."

    Last year, when the power mower wasbroken and wouldn't run, I kept hinting

    to my husband that he ought to get itfixed, but somehow the message neversank in.

    Finally I thought of a clever way tomake the point. When my husbandarrived home that day, he found meseated in the tall grass, busily snippingaway with a tiny pair of sewing scis-sors. He watched silently for a shorttime and then went into the house.

    He was gone only a few momentswhen he came out again. He handedme a toothbrush. "When you finishcutting the grass," he said, "you mightas well sweep the sidewalks."

    The doctors say he will probably live,but it will be quite awhile before thecast will be off!!!

    Hail! Hail! Hail!Dont Hide The True Light, Be Real With Yourself Let It Shine, Let It Shine, Let It Shine!We, Brethren of The Most Worshipful Nuwaubian Grand Lodge of Freemasonry Worldwide, Inc. would like to send out a Greeting ofPeace to all our fellow Nubian Masonic Family. We as Freemasons all trace our true roots and family lineage to Mother Africa, our ances-tors. This message to all of our Masonic Family is long overdue. We must learn to focus on what we have in common as opposed to whatseparates us. We were all Nubian men and women long before we took on whatever affiliations we may have become a part of now. Doyou remember Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Medgar Evers, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many more of our African-AmericanMasonic brethren, who were slain for fighting for equal rights for their own oppressed people in particular and all people in general to havea part of the American dream? These great Nubians now meet in the Lodge of Sorrow in the Celestial Abode On High and see their effortsand dreams of unification fade away. Was it all in vain? We think not. Their affiliation did not matter. Our brethren were slain for onereason and one reason only. They were fighting for a better quality of life for us, the melanin-ite children of the sun. This same persecutionis being lived, felt, and suffered by our Noble Brother Rev. Dr. Malachi Kobina York. This brings us to the heart of the matter: "Why IsThis 33 Freemason & Shriner Still In Prison?" It is widely accepted by most people because of biased, one-sided presentation of evidenceby the media that Rev. Dr. Malachi Kobina York is in prison because he was convicted of child molestation. This is not true. Our NobleBrother was convicted of a bogus RICO charge. He is Innocent of all charges. The powers that be had to stop Rev. Dr. Malachi K. Yorkfrom that Great and Sacred Work of enlightening and uniting the Nubian Masonic Family world-wide and put an end to his tireless effortsfor over 40 years of sharing ancient truths and lost facts in his many publications. Did you know that one of the reasons Rev. Dr. MalachiK. York was railroaded and conspired against is for answering the question: Why do we beg others for charters and warrants whenthey should be begging us? As his-story has proven the Romans and Greeks came to Egypt sneezing and coughing with many blood dis-eases begging to sit at the feet of the Great Nubian Masters to be "raised" in intellect, morals, and cleanliness of life. Yes, we civilized themand others. Some interesting notes should be made here: (1) The true secrets called ancient mysteries of the Master Builders were neverrevealed. This is the reason why so-called Egyptologists and Cryptologists with so-called doctorate degrees from Harvard and Yale spend30 to 40 years of their lives in Egypt - Africa and still don't know how the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built. (2) The true meanings ofour "rituals" were never revealed to the profane, because of the oaths that the Great Egiptian Masters took. So as they speculated orguessed and wandered about the rituals they saw us doing, while only we really knew as we built operated from our Divine Minds Eye.(3) Some of the Great Masters lost their lives for not revealing the secrets. Research Seqenenre Tao II of Ancient Egypt if you would like toknow where the legend of Grand Master Hiram Abiff really came from. Ask yourself, who was really "free" and who were the ones whohad to be "accepted". (4) The Sacred Volume of Law informs us, the baby Jesus was taken into Egypt - Africa to be hidden and kept safeuntil the death of King Herod, correct? The first 12 years of Jesus' life, he was "raised" in the most advanced Masonic Society the world willever know. Upon his return to Jerusalem, he had already well learnt enough to dumbfound the elders in Jerusalem (Luke 2:41-49). So hehad a more advanced doctrine than the Judahites in Jerusalem. What was that doctrine? And what did Jesus look like (Rev 1:14-15)? That'sright, a dark-skinned, red-eyed Nubian. Who else on the planet has that trait of red-eyes besides us Nubians? Who? None else, that's who.(5) Where did Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum go after the murder of Hiram Abiff? Ethiopia, correct? A country of dark skinned-Nubians. Sothey had to have looked like the people who lived there to blend in, correct? And who are they really and what are their real names? We putforth several more questions of which all Freemasons should have the answers to: If King Solomon was the Grand Master of the Most An-cient Lodge, King Hiram of Tyre was the Grand Senior Warden, and Hiram Abiff was the Grand Junior Warden, how did Hiram Abiffknow the secret word and the Grand Master and Grand Senior Warden didn't? Question, if Hiram Abiff was buried three times how did hisashes get into the Weeping Virgin's Urn? He would have to have been cremated, correct? The point we are making should be clear by now,which is, the true secrets were with the Great Nubian Masters who built the Great Pyramids of Egipt Africa Negroid Land that stillstand 10,500 years later, of whom we descended from. With a little research, you will find that there are far more pyramids in the heart ofAfrica as far as Nubia and the Sudan that are never talked about. The reason for this is because after centuries of invasions and race-mixing,non-Nubians will say the present day inhabitants of Egypt- Africa are the same as those who built Ancient Egipt. This is one of their great-est "secrets"! They know if they talk about the pyramids of Nubia and the Sudan, all you see are very dark-skinned people, Negroids/Nuwbuns before mixing to become Nubians/Nuwaubians as we are today. You see, then they will have to admit we are the true MasterBuilders, Freemasons and Shriners because they don't know how it was done. Do you see the games now? If God said, "LET THERE BELIGHT", he must have been in the dark when he said it. Then they say light is intelligent, step into the light, correct? On the flip side, theysay darkness is dumb, ignorance, correct? This is just another way to make us hate ourselves are separate you from reality. There is intelli-gence and peace in the darkness. Light exist in the darkness. Light is temporary and darkness is everywhere permanent. Just look into theheavens where the sun is always shining in and from the darkness. Africa is the dark continent. Cant you see that, or is the light blindingyou? Open your 3rd, All-Seeing Eye. Never forget that we are the original African Family & Ancient Masons, the oldest seed on this planet?The Masonic Order commonly referred to as Freemasonry was suppose to be the common denominator to unite men regardless of theirreligious beliefs or race, correct? So why have Negroids/Nuwaupians the original Master Builders, allowed others that we schooled, raisedand chartered to divide us because of mere letters of affiliation. It's about the same as rival college fraternities and even worst the crips andbloods killing each other over a red or blue bandana. On the principle of Brotherly Love, masonry unites men of every country, sect, opin-ion, and causes true friendship to exist among those who otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance. To relieve the distressed is a dutyincumbent on all men. We, as Freemasons must be alert to recognize these opportunities and offer our services in the way that will bestbring Relief. All brothers remember that moment in the lodge when they were in a destitute condition and indeed an object of Charity.When you are in need of help, you don't ask what affiliation are the children, adults, or even their complexion. You just help. Either way, itis the right thing to do. So we challenge all of our Brothers to look at the evidence with an open unbiased mind and you decide "Why IsThis 33 Freemason & Shriner Still In Prison?"

    As a butcher is shooing a dog from hisshop, he sees $10 and a note in his mouth,reading: "10 lamb chops, please." Amazed,he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in

The dogchecks the timetable and sits on the bench.When a bus arrives, he walks around to thefront and looks at the number, then boardsthe bus. The butcher follows, dumbstruck.

    As the bus travels out into the suburbs, thedog takes in the scenery. After awhile hestands on his back paws to push the "stop"button, then the butcher follows him off.

    The dog runs up to a house and drops hisbag on the stoop. He goes back down thepath, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does thisagain and again. No answer. So he jumpson a wall, walks around the garden, beatshis head against a window, jumps off, andwaits at the front door. A big guy opens itand starts cursing and pummeling the dog.

    The butcher runs up screams at the guy:"What are you doing? This dog's a gen-ius!"

    Using a machete to clear thick brush in an area Iwas mapping, I came upon a golf club that an

    irate player must have tossed away. It was ingood condition, so I picked it up and continued

    on.

    When I broke out of the brush onto a putting

    green, two golfers stared at me in awe. I had amachete in one hand, a golf club in the other,

    and behind me was a clear-cut swath leading out

    of the woods.

    "There," said one of the golfers, "is a guy who

    hates to lose his ball!"

    A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were exces-sively mischievous. They were always getting into troubleand their parents knew that, if any mischief occurred in theirtown, their sons were probably involved.

    The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had beensuccessful in disciplining children,so she asked if he wouldspeak with her boys.The clergyman agreed, but asked to seethem individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old in firstthat morning,with the older boy to see the clergyman in theafternoon.

    The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat theyounger boy down and asked him sternly,"Where is God?"

    The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no re-sponse,sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide eyed.So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sternertone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt toanswer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more andshook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE ISGOD!?"

    The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directlyhome and dove into his closet, slamming the door behindhim.When his older brother found him in the closet,he asked,"What happened?"

    The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are inBIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they thinkWE did it!"
