Interesting Place to Find a Masonic Obelisk

Source
The polished cube found in the east angle corresponds to the perfect ashlar; the polished square corresponds with the square; the rough block found in the west angle corresponds with the rough ashlar; the stone with figures representing snakes is emblematic of wisdom; the axis stone is the trestle board, and the marked stone adjacent to it bears the Master's Mark.
The two implements found, the lead plummet and the iron trowel, are clearly emblematic of Freemasonry.

The piece of soft white limestone found under the polished cube has been regarded as a symbol of purity, and as having been placed in the center of the eighteen pieces forming the lower step to designate the word of the eighteenth degree.


Most Worshipful Jesse B. Anthony, Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York, presided as the cornerstone for the obelisk was laid in place with full Masonic ceremony on October 2, 1880. Over nine thousand Masons paraded up Fifth Avenue from 14th Street to 82nd Street and it was estimated that over fifty thousand spectators lined the parade route.

To commemorate that historic event, the Grand Lodge of New York under the leadership of Most Worshipful Bruce Widger, then Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York restaged the historic ceremony on October 5, 1980. It was a ceremony of proportions fitting to this historic event. Entertainment was provided by bands from the New York State Maritime Academy in Fort Schuyler, Bronx, NY, the Emerald Society Pipe Band and from the Kismet Shrine Band. The award winning drill team of the Knights Templar put on a precision display of their expert marching maneuvers and the Masonic War Veterans presented the colors with dignity and grace. The invocation was presented by my old friend, R\W\ Daniel Fleming of Kismet Shrine Temple. M\W\ Charles W. Froessel, Honorary Chairman provided a warm and moving opening address. Remarks were presented by W\Eugene F. Haug of Anglo Saxon Lodge No.137.

The highlight of the ceremony was the cornerstone reenactment and address by Most Worshipful & Dr. Bruce Widger, Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York. At the conclusion of his address, he warmly thanked all of the participants for their part in the ceremony - the National Red Cross Emergency Disaster Team, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the New York City Police Department, the Grand Lodge Staff Officers and others who are mentioned above.

The benediction was presented by R\W\ Louis C. Gerstein.

Now explain to me again how that isn't masonic?

That isn't the only obelisk that has been erected with all the Masonic Pomp and Circumstance mind you, to go around erecting them with ceremonies all the time like that's quite odd for a symbol they don't use or acknowlege. Don't you think?

no one here is angry or fighting with you; they're simply asking questions and pointing out that you're wrong.

It's not just this thread I'm refering to, it's a long story with alot of threads and posts that you may not be aware of, but suffice it to say I am in a long term opposition to Freemasonry and Zionism.

It is a bit disengenious to select the cairn that looks least like the Trinity Memorial.

Masons have a whole ceremony dedicated to laying the cornerstone of buildings, statues, etc. That doesn't mean the building, statues or etc are Masonic, it just means that there's a ceremony for it.

Can we at least agree it's an obelisk before you guys try to disassociate freemasonry from it?

It's also equally disengenious to claim it is a Cairn, when the Media, the public, and even Uncle Samcall it an obelisk. If you find anything official that refers to it as a Cairn I'd like to see it. Can we at least agree it's an obelisk before you guys try to disassociate freemasonry from it?

Yeah we know, which actually raises a relevant point... So Cleetus and I can just pull up to the construction site of a public place and bury a ball cap and some beer cans too to symbolise our good ole boy system or are masons given some kind of special clout here in the erection of public buildings, phallus' included? Why is that?

I'm digging into the erection of this particular monument, would be interesting to see who actually placed it. At least they had the common decency to use Black stones instead of their usually white stones that symbolize purity. Nothing pure and decent about the ability to kill millions and blackmail billions.
Unless your into that sort of thing that is...
