Oh, I'm not saying Harris is actually involved - I only meant that if she is making noises about running for governor, maybe someone wanted to make her look bad via association to one of her aides.
Her aide that is involved, Brandon Kiel, is listed in one of the news articles as being the deputy director of community affairs at the California Department of Justice. He has been put on administrative leave. Another bit of strangeness in this already strange story...

I noticed this morning when I was looking at their website that most of the tabs will not open unless you have the password.
Just more of the same weirdness that doesn't seem to make any sense.
I'm really hoping that an investigation is pursued in this case. I hope it doesn't magically fall out of the news and disappear. I'm really interested as to how this plays out.

All of those things are certainly possible.
I think it's kind of interesting that the media (at least in the articles that I have read thus far) hasn't mentioned a single word about obtaining a statement from the Masonic lodge that these people claim to belong to or from any type of spokesperson from the organization. Nor have I seen a statement issued from Harris's office.
If I were either, I'd be throwing these three under the bus and disavowing any connection with them. Not that I think the three people were necessarily terrorists or even dangerous, for that matter. For all I know, they are decent upstanding citizens who wanted to help and do good things, but just went about doing those things in a very stupid way. But, all that being said, with the current climate surrounding law enforcement in general, terms like "rogue police force" are certainly not going to go over well for anyone involved.

Lol I looked a the site and joke made by some one that doesn't know history. The Knights Templar were made around 1100 AD. Thats 915 years ago.

Yes, their website specifically says "3000 years." That would mean roughly around 1000BC. And the Knights Templar were a Christian organization, commanded by the Pope with the express purpose of protecting Christian pilgrims. I don't see how any of that could have possibly been "Before Christ." I mean, you kind of have to have a "Christ" before people can believe in him, right? Three thousand years in this case is really putting the cart before the horse...
I'd like to see them explain this discrepancy as well.

They claim to be the Knights Templar's....
Freemasons are more educated than that. OK, now they have just made it look bad on themselves, the Freemasons are going to definitely disavow them.

That's what I would do if I was the local lodge or the entire organization in general.
I mean, they are saying on their website that they are descendants of the Knights Templar. And they are also calling themselves Freemasons, right? So doesn't it stand to reason they are therefore claiming that Freemasons are descended from the Knights Templar? Their logic makes my head hurt.
That, along with their "3000 years" claim really make them look terribly ignorant. It's as if they couldn't even be bothered to google or wiki information about Freemasonry - otherwise they would know that the Knights Templar came AFTER Christ, not before.
ETA: I'm betting they aren't even affiliated with the Freemasons.

Let me give you an idea here of where they are really from. They are Black Israelites who claim descent from the Khemetic religion of King Solomon and the Ethiopian Queen Candace.
They are the black Hebrews that go around saying that the Jews of today are not really the real Jews (which a lot of ATSers buy into in order to be anti-Semitic) because they feel they are the real Jews.
This is where they are coming from.

questions....
1...who hired him, and did he receive a thorough backround check?
2...he was based in LA...she lives in north California...how is this a "close aide"
3...he was hired in april 2013, and was still a first tier rookie aide. how is this guy important or even known to Kamala Harris?
4...to impersonate an officer of the law, doesn't there need to be an actionable event of impersonation of an actual law enforcement agent?....I could say I was a law enforcement officer of the Viking king Odin, that doesn't mean I was impersonating an officer of the law.
5...were these three, members of the masons? and for how long?
The M.W. Illustrious Scottish Knights Grand Supreme Council under the leadership of M.W. Grandmaster Hon. David Henry 33rd (giving honor to his M.W. Grand Master Hon. Van A. Hibler 33rd) presented the Della Smith Queen Sheba Legacy Award to Wilma Smith Kiel. Grand High Priest Brandon Kiel 33rd, Deputy Grandmaster Kevin Briley 33rd, and Illustrious Assemblyman Mike Davis (ret.) 33rd, were also in attendance to present this award.

This appears to be three peoples strange acted out fantasy - they don't appear to have any connections to any actual masonic lodges. Their "leader" calls himself ILLUMINATI GRANDMASTER HENRY X°and he has stuff splattered all across the internet... look it up yourself to see the ridiculousness first hand. Seems these people were more motivated by rap references and pop culture then anything related to the Masonic Lodges.
