Curse of Cannan - The New Ensign

To detail all of the Masonic emblems with which the Great Seal is rife would require more space
than we need to give; these esoteric hidden meanings show that the combined number of feathers
in the two wings of the eagle is sixty-five; in gematria, this is the value of the Hebrew phrase
"yam yawchod," "together in unity," which is cited in Psalm 133:1. "Behold, how good and
pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity!" The five-pointed stars represent the Masonic
Blazing Star and the five points of fellowship. The All Seeing Eye has a cabbalistic value of
seventy plus three plus two hundred, the value of the phrase "eben mosu habonim," "the stone
which the builders refused," which is familiar to all Royal Arch Masons; it also represents the
value of Hiram Abiff, the architect of King Solomon's Temple.
Chapter 7
The Civil War
The Civil War was the most tragic blood-letting of the people of Shem in recorded history. This
people, religious refugees from Canaanite oppressors and massacres in Europe, succeeded in
establishing in the United States the most productive society in the world. Their Constitution
had unleashed the great talents of this people to do God's work on this earth. Of course, Satan's
people, the Canaanites, were livid with hatred and envy. If there is one passion which America
has always excited in the world, it is the passion of envy. The United States was the most admired
nation in the world, because its Constitution guaranteed to its legal citizens the unfettered right
of personal liberty, something which no other nation could offer to its people. In the States of
the South, the people of Shem had carved from the wilderness productive plantations and
impressive manor houses, built in the tradition of Greek Neo-Classicism, and expressing their
conviction that this was the only way that they wished to live on this earth. Like the ancient
Greeks, the people of Shem had slaves to attend to their daily needs, the descendants of Canaan,
on whom the Curse of Canaan had been pronounced, and which committed them to that status.
Despite the efforts of the people of Shem to maintain their slaves in a healthy and comfortable
environment (from an economic standpoint alone, this was an absolute requirement, because the
bulk of their operating capital was invested in them), the existence of these slaves became their
Achilles heel, which the Canaanites cleverly used as the weapon with which to mount an attack
against them. There were many contemporaneous records attesting to the kindly treatment of the
slaves, such as the observations of Samuel Phillips Day, special correspondent for the London
Morning Herald, who wrote, "On Sunday, June 8, 1861, in Asheville, Kentucky, I took a drive
with some friends. Judge of my surprise, reader, when I found almost the entire Negro population
abroad; some parading thoroughfares, and others riding about in carriages! They were dressed
so showily and so finely, and appeared so happy and contented, that I was virtually forced to
exclaim, 'Surely these people are not slaves!' The response was, 'Certainly they are.' Some of the
women wore lace shawls and gold watches and looked (only for their colour) like London
duchesses going to a ball. The men too were well attired. I reflected for a moment on the condition
of British laborers and London needlewomen .... the contrast was too painful to dwell upon ....
The thought flashed across my mind that there was nothing so very wicked in slavery after all
--that it possessed a bright side as well as a dark side."
Samuel Phillips Day's comments were well-taken; it is doubtful if any Southern plantation owner
would have treated his slaves as badly as the average British workingman was treated by his
brutal black nobility landowners and factory operators. It was no accident that world
Communism, Fabianism, and other desperate remedies were born, not in the slave quarters of
the South, but in the working class districts of London and Manchester. However, the daily life
of the slaves in the South, as observed by many travelers, was obscured for all time by the
relentless promotion of a single book, Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Even today,
any black who dares to say that perhaps we are not as badly off as our brethren in the jungles of
