ABOUT THIS WORKBOOK

Introduction: History is written by the victors—and often revised by those in power. This workbook documents verified covert operations, elite coordination, and suppressed events using primary sources: government documents, declassified files, congressional records, and firsthand accounts. We distinguish between documented facts, debunked myths, and nuanced realities.

What You Will Learn:

Sacred Names Used: Yahuah (YHWH), Elohim, Yahusha HaMashiach

Target Audience: Adults (18+)

Study Time: 10-12 hours for complete workbook

Critical Thinking Required: This workbook is NOT about believing every conspiracy theory. It's about documenting what's verified while debunking what's false. We follow Scripture's command: "Test everything; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Key Scripture: "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open." — Luke 8:17

Lesson 1: Freemasonry and the Founders - What's Actually Verified

Many claim "all the Founding Fathers were Freemasons." This is false. Let's examine what's actually documented.

Confirmed Freemasons (Primary Source Documentation)

George Washington - CONFIRMED
  • Initiated: Lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, November 4, 1752 (age 20)
  • Primary document: January 1793 letter to Grand Lodge of Massachusetts
  • Quote: "The Great Architect of the Universe may bless you here"
  • Quote: "The grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race"
[Source: Grand Lodge of Virginia archives, personal correspondence]

NOT Freemasons (Verified)

Thomas Jefferson - NOT A MASON
  • No lodge records exist in any American or European lodge
  • Often assumed to be a Mason due to association with Franklin
John Adams - NOT A MASON
  • No primary source evidence places him in any lodge
  • Later associated with the Anti-Masonic Party
Alexander Hamilton - NOT A MASON
  • No lodge records despite thorough searches
  • Frequently misidentified as Mason in popular media

Fill-in-the-Blank

1. Benjamin Franklin was inducted into St. John's Lodge in (year).

2. George Washington was initiated on November 4, at age 20.

3. Washington used the term "Great of the Universe" in Masonic letters.

4. Thomas Jefferson was a Freemason (NOT/confirmed as).

5. John Adams later became associated with the -Masonic Party.

Discussion Questions

10. Why do you think people assume ALL Founders were Masons when only some were? What does this teach about verifying historical claims?

11. What does Washington's "Great Architect of the Universe" terminology reveal about Masonic theology? How does it differ from biblical faith?

Lesson 2: The Great Seal - A Myth Debunked

Many claim the Great Seal was designed by Freemasons with occult symbolism. The committee records tell a different story.

Three Design Committees (1776-1782)

First Committee (1776):
Member Mason? Proposal
Benjamin Franklin YES Moses parting Red Sea (REJECTED)
Thomas Jefferson NO Children of Israel (REJECTED)
John Adams NO Judgment of Hercules (REJECTED)
Pierre Du Simitière (Artist) NO Eye of Providence (ADOPTED)
Second Committee (1780):
  • William Churchill Houston — NOT a Mason
  • James Lovell — NOT a Mason
  • John Morin Scott — NOT a Mason
  • Francis Hopkinson (Artist) — NOT a Mason — proposed the pyramid motif
Third Committee (1782):
  • Arthur Middleton — NOT a Mason
  • John Rutledge — NOT a Mason
  • Elias Boudinot — NOT a Mason
  • William Barton (Consultant) — NOT a Mason
Final Synthesis:
Charles Thomson — NOT a Mason — combined all elements into the final design that was adopted.
MYTH DEBUNKED: The "Masonic Great Seal" is contradicted by committee records. The Eye of Providence was proposed by a non-Mason (Du Simitière). The pyramid was proposed by a non-Mason (Hopkinson). The final design was synthesized by a non-Mason (Thomson). The ONLY confirmed Mason on any committee was Franklin, whose proposal (Moses) was REJECTED.

Fill-in-the-Blank

1. The Great Seal was designed by successive committees.

2. The Eye of Providence was proposed by , who was NOT a Mason.

3. Benjamin Franklin's proposal of parting the Red Sea was REJECTED.

4. The only confirmed Mason on any committee was .

5. The final synthesis was done by Charles , who was NOT a Mason.

True or False

6. The Great Seal was designed entirely by Freemasons.

7. The Eye of Providence was a distinctly Masonic symbol invented by Freemasons.

8. Committee records document who proposed each element of the seal.

9. Franklin's Moses design was adopted for the Great Seal.

Research Skill

How to Verify: Committee records are available through the National Archives. Primary source documentation beats speculation every time. This example shows how a popular claim ("Masonic Great Seal") can be debunked by simply checking the historical record.

Discussion Question

10. Why do myths persist even when primary sources disprove them? What does this teach about accepting historical claims without verification?

The Event

Date: November 1910
Location: Jekyll Island, Georgia (private club)
Purpose: Draft legislation for a central banking system
Security: Participants traveled under aliases to avoid press

The Attendees

A. Piatt Andrew Treasury Department Assistant Secretary

Primary Source Verification

Frank Vanderlip's Memoir (1935):
"I was as secretive—indeed, as furtive—as any conspirator... Discovery, we knew, simply must not happen, or else all our time and effort would be wasted. If it were to be exposed publicly that our particular group had got together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress." [Source: Saturday Evening Post, February 9, 1935]
Result: The Federal Reserve Act passed December 23, 1913 — three years after the Jekyll Island meeting.

Lesson 10: What's Verified vs. What's Myth

This final lesson helps you distinguish documented facts from popular myths. Critical thinking requires testing ALL claims—including "conspiracy theories."

VERIFIED FACTS (Primary Source Documentation)

  1. Jekyll Island meeting was secret — Vanderlip's memoir confirms
  2. Skull and Bones includes presidents — Public record

Final Summary

This workbook demonstrated that:

  • Some "conspiracy theories" are verified facts (MK Ultra, Operation Paperclip, Jekyll Island)
  • Some popular claims are myths ("Masonic Great Seal," "all Founders were Masons")
  • Primary sources matter—documents, testimony, archives beat speculation
  • Elite coordination exists—CFR, Trilateral, Bohemian Grove are documented
  • Critical thinking is essential—test everything, verify claims, hold fast what is good
