“Mormons”
Freemasons & Extraterrestrials

I was a
little leery when I read the subtitle, it sounded more like a description of
Art Bells famed radio program Coast to Coast AM, a conspiracy theorists sand
box. However as I had greatly enjoyed Matthew Heines other books detailing his
adventures in Oman and Saudi Arabia I threw caution to the wind and settled down on my front porch
to discover what possible connection there might be between “Mormons” the
wriggly finger mob and good old ET.
Deceptions
Of The Ages turned out to be quite an interesting read, a journey through
history, well researched and well reasoned. Sure there are a few ‘leaps of
faith’ and some speculation, but you find that in every non fiction book.
The one
thing that the Mormons, Freemasons and UFO’s do most certainly have in common
is mystery. Mystery always breeds speculation, and speculation in turn breeds
conspiracy. A great example is the assassination of JFK, I have lost count of
the number of books and documentaries I have read or watched on the subject.
Some have plausible plots, some are just out and out ridiculous. But as long as
you have a situation where there is mystery, you will find speculation and
conspiracy theories.
The Mormons
are a good example. If you were to ask people at random to write a short
description about them you might get something along the lines of:
Founded by
some dude named Joseph Smith who found a bunch of gold tablets and wrote his
own bible, Silly man lost the tablets so all we have to go on is his word. They
all live in Utah, wear funky underwear and have a dozen wives each. Young
Mormon teenagers of 16 dress in black pants a white dress shirt and black tie,
carry a small briefcase, travel in pairs and knock on strangers doors to elicit
new members, particularly young girls in order to maintain the supply of
breeding stock.
While most
of that statement is untrue, it is the perception. There is an air of distrust
about what happens behind the closed doors of the Mormon church, so theories
abound.
Perception
also plays a big part in thinking about the Freemasons.
Oh, the
wriggly finger handshake mob, they cavort naked in their lodges, performing all
kind of sexually deviant acts, and form part of the ‘shadow government’, they
are the new world order. They used to sacrifice virgins, but the supply of
virgins ran out in the 60’s with the sexual revolution.
And of
course the always popular UFO. You can blame UFO’s on almost anything. In the
70s I recall working for the Xerox corporation. Phil was a guy that would be
late for his own funeral. One morning he tuned up late and while waiting for
the elevator a vice present walked in. “late again Weigard” the man remarked,
“Yes, so am I” he replied in his Aussie twang. His best one however, occurred a
couple of weeks later, when asked why he was late, he explained that he had
been on the London Underground and Aliens had abducted him.
Space is a
really big place, to think that we are the only planet with life on it is
statistically very unlikely. But would an intelligent lifeform want to visit
us? We don’t have a unified language, we spend most of our time blowing each
other up, watching sitcoms, and generally doing our best to destroy the planet.
If I was an alien I certainly would not want to come visit.
The
delightful part about the whole extraterrestrial gig is that you can’t prove or
disprove it. Some are convinced that it is a huge government cover up.
All three
subjects make for great subjects for a book, Mathew Heines takes it one stage
further and interconnects them.
I enjoyed
the history lesson, particularly that of the Freemasons. Yes I can see how the
dots can be traced back to the Crusades and The Knights Templar. It is when you
journey further back in time that, for me at least the dots and lines become
blurry. We get into the whole Holy Grail discussion, one that made Dan Brown a
very rich man with his book The Da Vinci Code. I am also not convinced of the
connection of the Freemasons to early Egypt. But many are, so I bow down to more
learned people.
Deceptions
Of The Ages is a book that I can recommend, however, it will not appeal to
everyone. It requires an open mind and an inquisitive nature. Matthew Heines
opens some interesting doors, peek behind them if you dare.
