Damn Conspiracy Theories

I thank God for conspiracy theorists. They are obviously nuts so they make for a very nice night-and-day comparison. And pretty much thank them for setting such an obvious bad example and pray for their mental healing. There's no point addressing their issues. Why go down the path of the insane when the sane thing to do is to recognize insanity when we encounter it.

One can hardly turn the page of history with out seeing the corrupted hand of conspiracy at work, it was conspiracy that led Brutus against Ceaser on the Ids of March, and conspiracy that saw the planning of the surrender of West Point to the British by Benedict Arnold. Many people smear the phrase "conspiracy theory" but do very little research into what these people are talking about. While I will agree that there are some whacko jackos out there, to say that anyone with a "conspiracy theory", or who believes in them is crazy is simply short sightedness or ignorance. A simple one for you, according to the law I need a license to "drive". The legal definition(black law dictionary)of drive is to get paid to bing something or someone from one place to another. To travel in your own car from one place to another in not "driving", you are not getting paid. Think a "cattle drive" vs "horse riding". Am I wrong? No, look it up yourselves. But the police and courts will try to make you think it is simply a "conspiracy theory" if you have not done the research.

Image isn't working for me.
I don't mind the crazies though, they put so much garbage out on the internet that it makes it hard for anyone to learn our actual secrets without joining a lodge.
Plus they're amusing.

This is how many anti-Masons are made:
Fear is how hate is made... Hate is neo-nazism, ku klux klan. Masons are exceptence.

Except in this case it's commonly believed that we're the ones that are conspiring.
Now mind you, I enjoy conspiracies myself and even think a few (that are completely unrelated to Freemasonry) may even have some merit. I just think the fellows that believe Freemasons are secretly Illuminati space aliens who enjoy orgies in their lodges in their downtime from taking over the world are a bit...nutty.

Br Jones,
The latest drunken orgy reported happened in Michigan. The report claims it is part of our hidden secretive rituals, I must have missed that part of the Rituals when we did ours at Lodge??!!
LOL
May you be blessed with a glorious day!
Yours, in His service.

Conspiracy saw the death of the tyrant Julius, who wished to arrogate permanent Imperial authority and turn the Senate into nothing. Conspiracy led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
While Black's Law Dictionary is a usable secondary source in courts, it is not normative for law. It has no legal authority.

It does in the sense that the terms are the law, if they are not defined in the statues, then there definition is to be found in the legal dictionaries, which is the legal definition of that word and must be used in the courts. Law is all semantics, that's how rich people can get away with murder because the glove doesn't fit.

That's not how it works. Legal dictionaries indicate how a word might have been used in specific contexts in specific cases but do not restrict how a would could be used in all legal contexts. You need to consult a professional attorney within your jurisdiction on this matter. Courts are not bound to use a definition as it occurs in Black's if there is a body of common definition that could also be consulted and is also reasonable and pertinent to the case at hand. For example, the United States District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in Alarm Industry Communication Committee v. FCC, specifically and explicitly criticized a lower court's exclusive reliance upon Black's and cited several other dictionaries, essentially giving them equal "legal" status. This critique formed the basis of the grant of appeal by that court.
Black's Law Dictionary is not the law. Indeed, law schools even go so far as to warn students that a law dictionary is a place to start ones research, not to finish it.

I never said blacks law was the law, I said it will help you define and interpret the terms used in the law or statute. Sit down with the statute and a law dictionary(blacks, bouviers 1856) and look at and define the terms used and see what emerges rather then relying on someone to help you with it. Attorneys have split loyalties, to you and the courts, but there first loyalties lie with the courts. They will never give you advise that may jeopardize the courts standing on any matter.

I am with Bro. BEDicky about how terms are defined. If in the English language we would have done what Sr. Francis Bacon said and made new words instead of modifying the definitions we would be better off. We would not be fighting about conspiaracy theories or gamariage. but now we have to look at the old law books to see how stuff was used in the past. And no I did not misspell marriage I made a new word. But Sr. Francis Bacon is a conspiracy by him self.

No one is going to believe the Masons anyway. As far as the Michigan ritual, they should just claim they were hoodwinked and had no idea what was happening.

Like all these people say we'll take over the world, because world leaders' are in the Freemasons. Fact Masons are world wide and have an estimated 2 million active members. I guess out of the million of members, leaders are excluded.
