-- Christians are hunkered down, prepared for the arrival of a new
movie based upon Dan Brown's book, The DaVinci Code.
Numerous faith-based Internet web sites warn readers: "Do not go to
see this movie!"
The Catholic Church dominates the boycott fervour, with other
denominations also in the vanguard. Millions of illegal immigrants,
overwhelmingly Catholic, could bring hopes for the film's success to
its knees.
Registered illegal-immigrant voter Ruy Lopez has received his orders
from the local Bishop. "He say, I must no go see thees film," revealed
Lopez.
With the controversy surrounding DaVinci Code (DVC) about to reach
new heights, Conspiracy Nation
has discovered startling, lesser-known facts regarding Dan Brown and
his novel.
In Secrets Of The Widow's
Son, veteran journalist David A. Shugarts wanders through the
back-alleys and hidden coves of Brown's bestseller. Shugarts unearths
the following, which even case-hardened conspiratologists may not know:
There is a secret code hidden in the dust-jacket flaps of the book
itself. Letters in slightly bolder type spell out,
"ISTHERENOHELPFORTHEWIDOWSSON."
"Is there no help for the widow's son," is a distress cry uttered by
Free Masons in peril. It is a plea meant for the ears of any nearby
Mason. Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, uttered the phrase
-- his last words -- before being murdered by an angry mob.
Mysterious Free Masonry dances on the fringe of historical
incidents. Mozart's "Magic Flute" is said to be a Masonic allegory.
Benjamin Franklin and notorious Voltaire together belonged to the Lodge
of the Nine Sisters. Elizabethan Dr. John Dee tutored his disciple
Francis Bacon, who went on to become a secret chief of Free Masonry.
But a suggestion sure to have Christians aghast is that Jesus Christ
Himself was a Free Mason. He is known to have been a carpenter and the
son of a carpenter. But the original word seems to have been
mis-translated: it actually means "craftsman,"
not "carpenter." Note also how, in a sense, Jesus was "the widow's
son," since Joseph was not physically the father.
Other blasphemies sure to evoke howls simmer beneath the surface of
Dan Brown's world, if Shugarts is correct. George Washington did not
pray in the snow at Valley Forge. That myth began with Mason Locke
Weems' book, Life Of
Washington. Weems fomented other tall tales, for example the
legendary Cherry Tree incident. The Book Of Mormon "borrows heavily
from the Freemasons." Early Christians, persecuted by the Romans, may
have been Free Masons.
Are we having fun yet? Already greatly upset by unprecedented
marches by foreigners demanding the rights of U.S. citizens, the nation
is on the brink of yet another stunning controversy, about to unfold
with the release of the DVC film. Many exclaim, "Enough! I just can't
take any more!" Yet this is only the opening salvo of a long, hot
summer.
