Most
news outlets have been silent about which one of Albert Eid's pockets
contained the loaded gun which was used to shoot William James. They usually recite the same line:
"...and apparently pulled the wrong
one out of his pocket."
Since the information about which pocket
the loaded gun was in is available, the news outlets should report it. It
appears they have elected not to. A few
media outlets, however, have reported the information made available to
them by the authorities: Albert Eid pulled the loaded gun from his right
pocket.
I am aware
of a Newsday article posted on March 13th that has stated the reverse: that Eid pulled the loaded
gun from his left pocket. This is troublesome, but what is even more
bizarre is that this same online news outlet stated the loaded
gun was in Eid's right pocket just three days before!
"loaded gun
in right
pocket" Newsday article
"loaded
gun in left
pocket" Newsday article
Why is the Newsday article, posted
five days after William James' death, telling a different story—regarding
the loaded pistol—than what they published just three days before?
The
Newsday article is the only one that I have read at this point that makes the claim that the
loaded gun was in Albert Eid's left pocket! The Which gun
and which pocket stories are being switched around. WHY?

Eid's right pocket.
Mutual
Assistance: Going Too Far
Considering
how the "Freemasons are an
international brotherhood with lodges all over the world with the stated
object of mutual assistance" I do wonder if any "mutual
assistance" is going on in the press for the sake of this
"brother" in trouble. The press
seems to be de-emphasizing the fact that a man has been shot to death while
being led to believe he was safe and in the hands of brothers.
In
the United States of America, may a Mason shoot a man to death, and simply
because he has a blank gun on his person, be automatically considered
innocent of ill intent? If so, we have a caste system in our society when
it comes to killings. Such a system is needed to usher in global government,
when killings will be done singly and enmasse at the discretion of the
governing elite. [Note:
A reader reminded me that in the United States of America,
defendants are considered innocent of a crime until proven
guilty. Yes, I understand that. My intended point was that
because so many police officers are members of the [Masonic]
brotherhood,' it is probable that the investigation was biased
from the start. The reader also said, "It is NOT the police who
decide if a suspect is to be charged with a crime, and if so,
which crime(s). The DA or City Attorney makes those
determinations. The police may make recommendations, but they
don't make the decisions." This point is well taken but it needs
to be mentioned that a large percentage of attorneys and most
judges are Freemasons. Masons take care of each other in the court
system as unfair as it may seem to outsiders.]
A
Cover Up is in Process
The Grand Lodge did not say "The Fellow Craft" club
was not officially connected with the Masons in the immediate aftermath of
the shooting:
The Grand Lodge,
which oversees all Masonic organizations in New York, declined
comment on the tragedy except to say guns are not a normal
part of its rituals.
(Quote
source: Guns
and Guillotines)
I can understand
the reason the Grand Lodge "declined comment" and why
nobody would tell William James' widow what happened. They
needed time to devise a plan. And they did.
It was not until
later that the Grand Lodge began to make assertions that the group involved
in what turned out to be a lethal initiation ritual is only a "social club" and is not
an officially sanctioned branch of the Masons:
The Fellowcraft
Club was not a sanctioned branch of the Masons, Fitje said.
(Quote
source: State
Group Begins Probe)
While the Masonic
Lodge is finding it expedient to try distance themselves from
The Fellow Craft Club, they cannot get away from the fact that
one must be a member of the Lodge in order to join the Fellow
Craft Club!
[The
hidden message behind the "only a social club," and
"not sanctioned" lines:
The
headquarters of Freemasonry does not want to be held liable for the death of
William James. The Masonic headquarters is trying to absolve
themselves of all responsibility in the hopes of avoiding a wrongful death suit.]
A panel of Masonic lawyers
will conduct a three to four month investigation to "decide
whether to reinstate the lodge, expel some or all of its
members, or bring Masonic disciplinary charges." This is
will not result in any significant disclosure because Masons
will not charge fellow Masons with any serious wrong-doing. It is part
of their mutual assistance creed. (Quote source: Masonic
Lodge Suspended After Shooting.)
The
three or four months time allotment scheduled for the Masons to
supposedly investigate themselves is plenty of time in which they could destroy
all evidence and pressure into silence every person who knows
about or who has already mentioned guns are involved in Masonic initiations!
Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick knows that guns are used in masonic rites
and said so...
immediately after the shooting took place:
While officials
of the lodge denied that guns play a role in ceremonies,
Fitzpatrick said members told police the rite involving a gun
with blanks goes back at least 70 years.

The
Value of a Life is Not Conditioned Upon the Status of the Person
Who Took it
William James' life is not less
valuable than any other person who was shot to death. The
fact that a Mason of high rank shot William James should have nothing to do with the thoroughness and integrity of
the investigation into how and whys of this tragic event. Albert Eid
brought a loaded semi-automatic .32 caliber pistol to a masonic rite
and shot James with that gun instead of the one with blanks. The
blank gun was brought because it
was really supposed to be used in the ritual or because its
presence would be used as an alibi. For what reason
was the gun with live ammunition brought to the ritual?
Any
police officer involved in conducting a criminal investigation into this matter who
is also a Mason should disqualify himself from the
investigation to avoid a conflict of interest. To be a Mason and
investigate another Mason who is charged with a criminal offense is
to have an automatic conflict of interest.
Yes,
many police officers are Masons.
New York's Grand Master Mason,
Carl J. Fitje, used to be a New York police detective:
``The only secrets we really
have anymore are a few handshakes,'' Fitje, a retired New York
police detective, said in an interview with The Associated
Press last year.
(Quote source: Deadly
Shooting Puts Spotlight on Masons)
It is no wonder
that the New York police department immediately told the press
that William James' shooting death, which occurred during a
Masonic rite, was completely accidental. Is conflict of interest
the reason the police assumed that such a precise shot was done
with what the shooter assumed was a blank gun? Is the masonic
goal of "mutual assistance" the reason the New York
police did not think it was highly unlikely that Albert Eid did
not know the feel of his own gun--which had been registered to
him since the 1950's?
The
only details the press has mentioned regarding an investigation at this point is
regarding the history of the the Fellow Craft Club, which the
"Master" of the Grand Lodge wants you to think is only
a social club that is not officially connected with the
Masons:
A panel of
Masonic lawyers would examine the history of the Fellow Craft
Club at the Patchogue lodge, how long it has existed, how many
Masons were members and the types of rituals they performed.
(Quote

William James
wanted to move up in Masonry. Why would he waste his time being
initiated into a "social club" that was not an
official Masonic order?
Damage
control for the Masons includes stating that the initiation that resulted in
the death of William James was not legitimately
Masonic:
"I have never heard of anything like
that," agreed Len Henderson, a 30-year member of a lodge
in Portsmouth, N.H. "I was extremely upset to think
people would think this had anything to do with a legitimate
Masonic initiation."
I do not believe that
William James was undergoing an initiation into a non-Masonic
social club! His
"brothers," in the wake of his supposed accidental
killing, have turned on him and said that he was
not even undergoing a real Masonic initiation!
The Masonic Lodge
is considered by many people to be an elite part of society, but they are not
above the law. Not unless they are allowed to be.

"Trust" Ritual Results in Death
Pictures of Albert
Eid after the shooting. The police said he was distraught. His lawyer
told the press that he is undergoing trauma therapy. It seems
there is a lot of sympathy for this marksman who fired what he
allegedly thought was a blank with perfect aim: right
through William James' nose.
