Another Springmeier book (over 600 pages) that covers the greater occult implications
The Occult Roots of the Jehovah's Witnesses
Read the eye-opening, Be Wise As Serpents (free online .PDF book).
By the way, Springmeier is a free man today. Was released from prison late last year. Here is his blog: http://pentracks.com/blog/
Back in the 60's in Cleveland we had our assemblies in the massonic temple every year.
It was a neat building.
When I was a little girl in St. Louis we also had circuit assemblies in Mason Halls. My father used to laugh about it.
The Masonic Watchtowers – Enochian Magic
The Masonic Lodges are usually given a number and then are named after the location they are at. For instance, in Oregon something like 9 out of 10 lodges are named after the town that they are in. However, some of the lodges are named after famous Masons such as Franklin, Lafayette, and Washington. Others are named after Masonic themes Mystic Tie, Mystic Circle, Rising Sun, New Jerusalem, and Mizpah. Mizpah? What is Mizpah? The Watchtower Society tells us in the issue of the Godlen Age 3/26/24, p. 387, that Mizpah translates Watchtower. The Hebrew word Mizpah (also spelled Mizpeh, and Mitspeh) occurs only once in scripture. And the use of the word Mizpah among the Masons is interesting.
This author has located 4 Masonic chapters so far in the world that are named Mizpah, and three of these are in C.T. Russell’s area of Pennsylvania. These are all York Rite (R.A.M.-Royal Arch Masons) lodges like Russell belonged to. They are Mizpeh Chapter No. 288 R.A.M. of Allegheny, PA, Mizpah Chapter No. 252 R.A.M. Mahonoy City, PA, and the Mizpah Chapter 96 of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of PA.
What could be important enough to Masonry to call their lodges Watchtowers? The highest Masons, who get cryptic and mystic, are exposed to Enochian magic, where the use of the magical watchtowers is the key, the heart so to speak, of Enochian magic.
It is interesting to note that several of the Masons who founded new cults were fascinated in the name and person of Enoch, for instance Joseph Smith Jr. and Charles T. Russell.
Joseph Smith (Founder of Mormons LDS) gave himself the name Enoch, called his first community the City of Enoch, and created communal Order of Enoch. Further, Joseph Smith, following the Jewish pseudepigraphic Book of Enoch’s story, purports to narrate Enoch’s experiences in the Book of Moses. (Joseph Smith, as the reader remembers, wrote the Book of Moses.) Joseph Smith in fact believed that Freemasonry went back to Enoch. In Joseph Smith’s day it was popular for Masons to trace Freemasonry back to Enoch. It is not so much in vogue now.
Freemasons believed that the correct pronunciation of the sacred name of the Tetragrammaton had been revealed to Enoch. In Enochian magic the Tetragrammaton plays an important part. Each letter represents a different element.
“…Enoch may be considered as representative of that class of mankind which in the future will be in harmony with God and have eternal life—the ones who will be brought to perfection during the Millenial Age.”—Charles T. Russell, 1907.
Russell was careful not to exceed what he could appear to back with scripture, and he was not about to break his Masonic oath of secrecy and blab about Enoch and Enochian magic. However, Russell can still be recognized as having put an inordinate amount of emphasis on Enoch. For instance, Russell says what happened to Enoch “seems to be one of the secret things which Moses says belong unto God. Deut. 29:29” WT Apr. & May 1884. Russell pointed out on numerous occasions that Enoch was the 7 th man from Adam, and that this means he was the perfect man. This view was still coming out in the Watchtower as late as 1941. The WT Society has been fascinated by Enoch’s transformation, but have been variable in their explanation of it. In 1943, the WT Society tells us that “Enoch was put into a trance” That ‘God gave him a final vision of the New World…” and that when Heb. 11:5 says God “transferred him” that it meant God granted Enoch a vision of the New World. This was a change from Russell’s belief (based on speculation or something else?) that God likely took Enoch to another planet. Also that year, the WT Society tells us that Enoch was the first man to prophesy of Christ.
This is just a glimpse of Russell and the WT Society’s fascination with Enoch. Now we will discover what Enochian Magic is about.
The Magical Watchtowers
Twice a month, a magazine called the Watchtower goes out in 105 languages in about 13 million copies per issue. (Actually minor foreign language editions lag behind the English editions, so that the 13 million copies are not issued simultaneously.)
Yet no one has explained why Charles T. Russell chose the Watch Tower as the name and central idea of his new religion, many return-to-the-Bible movements, for instance, Campbell’s Church of Christ churches, have eschewed being associated with any symbology. The idea of the Watch Tower must have been very important to Russell for him to have situated it as the central symbol for his movement. Was he thinking that a tower towered him above others? Or was it because ancient Watch Towers could view approaching armies and thereby warn of approaching battles? Or was it chosen because Masons have been associated with building castles and cathedrals?
Each of these explanations put forth, has some merit. But there is another explanation. One that seems bizarre, in fact so bizarre that this author dismissed it until such time as he was able to confirm C.T. Russell’s Masonic membership.
C.T. Russell’s membership records in the Masonic Knights Templar are kept in Ireland. The Blue Lodge records belong to the Grand Lodge of PA. Lady Queensborough in her book Occult Theocracy published in 1933 notes on page 737 C.T. Russell’s Masonic membership. His Masonic membership must have also been common knowledge to those associated with him, and those acquainted with the prominence Russell gave to the Knights Templar logo. While there were no Adventist magazines prior to Russell’s ‘Watchtower’ magazine that used the word Watchtower, it appears that the Masonic magazine Mizpah could have served as example to Russell. The Masonic Mizpah magazine, and a Masonic article in an early Masonic Review with the title “Watchman what of the night” do prove a similarity here between that Masonic thinking and Russell’s magazine.
Evidence shows C.T. Russell was not only a high freemason, but prominent in their schemes, in other words he was a key player. Watchtowers are very important to the very highest Freemasons. The highest secret knowledge of many Masonic rites including such rites as the Scottish Rite, the Rite of Memphis, the Rite of Mizraim, etc. is concentrated in a high level group of Illuminati. One group of the Illuminati is the O.T.O. The initials O.T.O. can stand for several names, one being Ordo Templi Orientis (The Order of Oriental Templars). Its esoteric name is Order of To Ov. Its members also have been referred to as the Great White Brotherhood or Atlantean Adepts, and have worked with the B’nai B’rith. There are four separate groups of OTO lodges, each contains hard core occultists.
The OTO Illuminati teach their select group of initiates Hermetic Science (occult knowledge), magick (called Holy Magick of Light), Mysticism, and Yoga of all forms. The OTO during C.T. Russell’s lifetime established in every important metropolitan area, including New York, a secret hidden centre (Collegium ad Spiritum Santum) where members could carry out their “great work” concealed without interference.
However, each Illuminatus is nothing if he is not able to practice the Magick that gives him a knowledge of the Watchtowers and the ability to enter the four Watchtowers.
Is this bizarre? Why doesn’t C.T. Russell mention any of this in his writings?
This author must without reservation remind the reader that C.T. Russell would never have mentioned anything of his higher esoteric Masonic knowledge to anyone. The penalties for revealing such higher secrets are harsh. This author knows of some cases where men who talked were killed. Obviously, without presenting any proof on that point, the reader is simply advised that the higher echelons in the esoteric group of Illuminism rarely lose their initiates, because they are so sold out/and trapped in their allegiance to the occult world.
C.T. Russell was in the public eye. Everything he published was with the public eye in mind. No one should expect to find any notes or slips about Masonic activities or beliefs in Russell’s writings. As with all occult organizations a veil of secrecy is maintained by requiring initiates to take secrecy oaths on penalty of death. As in Witchcraft, Masonry repeatedly demands secrecy oaths at every new level. Charles T. Russell began participating in this secrecy when he took the Entered Apprentice (first Masonic degree) oath on penalty of mayhem and violent death, “I…do hereby and hereon most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear that I will always hail, ever conceal and never reveal any of the arts, parts or points of the secret arts and mysteries of ancient Freemasonry which I received, am about to receive, or may hereafter be instructed in…”
C.T. Russell followed a policy of backing everything he said with Bible verses. If he could not establish a point by twisting Scripture in some fashion, or using some type of reasoning, then he would generally avoid publishing the point. What needs then to be looked for are occultic strains of thought that seeped into his bible explanation, because they had a possible Scriptural explanation. There are a number of statements by Russell that are clues and evidence of ties to the magic of Watchtowers.
WHAT ARE THE MAGICAL WATCHTOWERS?
Watchtowers are regions of the Magical Universe. The type of Magic that uses these regions is called Enochian Magick.
According to occultists, Magic is merely the use of hidden laws to bring about the will. Every person has a spark of divinity—a inner God, also called an angel or Holy Guardian Angel. The Magician is to get in touch with his Angel—his divinity. This is where his knowledge of the Watchtowers is helpful. Enochian Magick claims for itself two unique elements: an original language and the map of the indivisible worlds. The Indivisible worlds are known as the Magical Universe. The map of this Magical Universe contains 4 Enochian regions called Watchtowers. These are the Watchtower of Fire, the Watchtower of Air, the Watchtower of Water, and the Watchtower of Earth. These 4 regions are often symbolized in ancient esoteric manuscripts. The following are the 7 planes and their regions on the map.
Occult planes Enochian Regions
Divine…
Spiritual….. Table of Union
Casual……. Watchtower of Fire
Mental……. Watchtower of Air
Astral…….. Watchtower of Water
Etheric…… Watchtower of Earth
Physical…
Should all the bodies of the planes (except for the physical) be collectively taken together, the Magician calls this the Body of Light. New Age, Masonic, and Rosicrucian Magicians will then speak in terms of leaving their bodies and entering into the Watchtowers (the Body of Light). To be an advanced magician, you must be able to enter the Watchtowers.
It is an established fact the Illuminists all learn this Magic and practice it.
An example of how esoteric knowledge then became associated with the royal house of Guise and Lorraine (which is part of the 13 th Illuminati bloodline) is that the first edition of Corpus hermeticum (pub. In 1549) was dedicated to Charles de Guise, the Cardinal of Lorraine and brother of Marie de Guise, who married James V of Scotland and who bore Mary Queen of Scots.
Under the cover of being zealous Catholics, the house of Guise and Lorraine spread esoteric knowledge. Men like Sir William Sinclair (of the 13 th Illuminati bloodline) imported the esoteric knowledge into Scotland. Another figure was the Scotsman, James Beaton, the Scottish ambassador to France, who was also the former Archbishop of Glasgow and who worked with the house of Guise and Lorraine.

A snapshot of Edith Starr Miller's 1933 book, Occult Theocrasy, listing Charles Taze Russell as a Mason, signified by the three dots, in the book's index on page 737. It appears that the OCR reproduction of this book mispells Taze as "Laze". Miller writes of the IBSA and Russell starting on page 539.
CHAPTER XCVIII
THE RUSSELLITES OR THE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS
(Founded 1879)
The International Bible Student Movement was founded by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916) with the object chiefly of attracting the lower middle class intelligentsia of Christian communities such as certain clerical workers, teachers, servants and persons not accessible to direct forms of propaganda. In America the movement has had great influence among the negro element.
In 1879 Russell founded The Watch Tower of which he was the sole editor.
The Russellite teaching, drawing its own arbitrary conclusions and proclaiming them as final, professes to prove from Biblical sources that all Christian churches are evil and corrupt, that the time of the Gentiles ended in 1914, and that the Jews must henceforth reign supreme over the world. It also elaborates an occult dogma alleged to be based on biblical precedents.
It condemns the Roman Catholic Church, referring to Rome in true esoteric Masonic style as Babylon and disposes of the Pope and his entire hierarchy as agents of the Antichrist who are doomed to extinction according to the familiar Masonic formulas of Albert Pike, Mazzini and Co. We are further told on biblical autho rity, interpreting the following words in Rev. II. 24 " As they speak " that this means that " Satan is a name applicable to Rome as describing its characteristics. 1
The Protestant Episcopal and other Christian churches which in Russell's graphic language are "the Harlot daughters of the Romish Church" and "have committed fornication" which term he interprets as meaning the union of Church and State, so bitterly opposed by the Jews in all countries, fare no better at the pen of this prolific writer, who predicts that, under the visible rulership of the Ancient Worthies (The Jewish Sanhedrin), those Gentiles who still believe in Christ will acknowledge his reign as an invisible one while submitting as Christians to all the hardships these Jewish lords might choose to put upon them.
Brother Russell gives us little hope for the time of tribulation which is upon us, for on page 122 of The Finished Mystery he wrecks any hopes we might still cherish with regard to benevolent brotherhoods in the following sentence — " As the trouble increases, men will seek, but in vain, for protection in the great rocks and fortresses of society (Freemasonry, Oddfellowship, and Trades Unions, Guilds, Trusts and all societies secular and ecclesiastical) and in the mountains (governments) of the earth ".
The publications of The International Bible Students Association are interesting samples of political propaganda and seem well calculated to suppress possible instincts of revolt among such members of the Christian community as might object to the role allotted to them under the Jewish Super State.
The present head of this movement is John Rutherford.

—Lady Queenborough Edith Starr Miller, Occult Theocrasy, pg. 539-540, 1933
Nice package here
Interesting old post I found by someone named "Sebastian" who may have posted here in the past:
B.C./Yukon Masonic Lodge Caught Lying About Jehovah's Witness Founder
Charles Taze Russell, Freemason Revisited!
The Lodge says this about Miller: "Her Occult Theocrasy makes no claim to be an objective study nor representative of primary source research and a selection of her remarks easily demonstrates that she was fixated on a perceived "Jesuit-Judaic-Masonic-Gnostic-Brahmin-Illuminati" plot to overthrow Christianity."
Sebastian-----Here is page 737 from the index of mason members from the book "Occult Theocrasy" by Lady Queenborough (Edith Starr Miller) 1933, with one of the only known listings of Charles Taze Russell's name listed in it as a mason. I posted a reply to your other mason post about Russell with a little more information on it. The Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon was one of the web sites that told everyone that Russell was (not) a mason, but they were cited for publishing falsehoods to the public and found to be wrong!---Scan below:
Page from Edith Starr Miller's book "Occult Theocrasy," showing that C.T. Russell was a Freemason - http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5773/occulttheocrasycharlest.png
I truly believe that it is more important to the reader of this research to
realize that the occult associations, teachings, use of false god symbols,
practices of numerology, phrenology, and astrology should certainly over-ride
any masonic relationships or memberships that Charles Taze Russell may have
had in his day.
After all, wasn't Russell really admitting through his occult teachings and
doctrines a more sinful kind of membership? Didn't Russell show what was
really in his heart by continuously practicing occultism and that he desired to be
a devout member of Satan's Lodge, when one considers the staggering occult
evidence penned by Russell himself?
However, for the sake of having some evidence to help some folks finalize
this issue in their minds, we have revisited some of the older documents on
this topic and found some new ones. Many people have relied on several quotes
that have discredited Charles Taze Russell as a freemason, while others have
taken quotes from some of Russell's lectures to credit him as a freemason. We
hope to offer some of the research that we have found that could help others
in this debate.
Here are some quotes taken from the "Grand Lodge Of British Columbia and
Yukon," which plainly states that Charles Taze Russell was (not) a freemason.
This page also contains phrases and words that Russell spoke in one of his
discourses that others have used to (prove), that Russell (was) a freemason. The
web site writer describes how Russell's words could be taken out of context
to (prove) that Russell was a freemason.
Here is the quote that states that Russell was (not) a freemason:
"Russell was not a freemason. Neither the symbols found in the Watchtower
nor the cross and crown symbol are exclusively masonic. And the cross and crown
symbol does not appear on his gravestone in the Rosemont United Cemetery,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — it appears on a memorial erected some years later."
And here is the quote that states that Russell (was) a freemason:
In an address delivered in a San Francisco masonic hall in 1913, Russell
made positive use of masonic imagery by saying, "Now, I am a free and accepted
mason. I trust we all are. But not just after the style of our masonic
brethren."
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/anti-masonry03.html#russell
The Grand Lodge of British Columbia has stated that Russell's statement was
taken out of context to (prove) that he was a mason.
However, information showing that the British Grand Lodge was presenting
[false information] to the public, came from [other] Freemason Lodge members
themselves. See below:
What do [other] lodge members say about the information contained on the
Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon web site?
by Wor. Bro. Dennis Stocks, Barron Barnett Lodge.
"The truth is that prior to 1984 the British Grand Lodge supported a policy
of silence on any criticism. This policy has unfortunately allowed falsehoods
to become established in the public consciousness as uncontested facts."
In dealing with the public face of Freemasonry we must remember that we are
not dealing with realities, but with received impressions. (See paragraphs
8-9 here)http://www.casebook.org/dissertations/freemasonry/anti2.html
Here is what the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon admit themselves:
We also find this statement by the Grand Lodge of British Columbia, of which
they admit themselves in the gray area to the left of your screen at the
link listed below. quote:
"Although the authors noted at the end of the list write with some authority,
they do not always provide citations. Membership therefore cannot be
considered confirmed unless a lodge name is supplied."
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/textfiles/famous.html
So the Grand Lodge of British Columbia admits that certain writers may not
give a citation or [written authority] as to the listings of famous masons,
and can not confirm all of their information. Authors providing them listings
or articles have limited qualifications and write with only some authority!
"Famous" freemasons on the British Grand Lodge web site, were later found
out to be people who were not even interested in the mason agendas.
One such person was "Francis Mawson Rattenbury". The link listed below at
the British Grand Lodge lists Rattenbury under their biographies of "Famous
Freemasons". Go here and look at the first name in the (Architecture) section:
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/biography/index.html_
However, the biography of "Francis Mawson Rattenbury" plainly states the
following:
"Having arrived in Vancouver in May of 1892, Rattenbury received the
commission to design the provincial legislative buildings on March 15, 1893 and
immediately moved to Victoria. It appears that he returned to Vancouver long
enough to close his office and to be initiated into Freemasonry, but he was never
passed or raised. The record of his life would suggest that the teachings of
Fremasonry left little impression on him."
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/biography/rattenbury_f/rattenbury_f.html
One would certainly wonder how this man could be classified as a "famous
freemason" when the Grand Lodge admits in his biography that freemasonry left
"little impression" on him!
Look at the very bottom of Rattenbury's biography, and you will see that he
never passed as a freemason and was never raised as a freemason---then look
down at the very bottom of the page and you will see that Rattenbury was even
[suspended] as a freemason, because he displayed no interest.
So how in the world could Rattenbury be classified as a [famous] freemason?
He wasn't even interested! He was not [impressed] with masons!
This shows that the British Grand Lodge [will] distort the facts about
people on their web site for their own advantage. If a person was even remotely
associated with the mason's and had a good reputation, popular, and good name,
then the British Grand Lodge would use them to glorify the freemasons
whether the person was really interested in the mason's protocols or not!
Rattenbury was certainly as successful man, smart, popular, and very good in
his architectural trades, but to claim him as a [famous] freemason when the
record clearly states he had very little interest in freemasonry, shows that
the British Grand Lodge are willing to lie to the public.
If the British Grand Lodge is willing to lie about Rattenbury, then they are
certainly willing to lie about Charles Taze Russell!
As stated above by [other] lodge members, the British Grand Lodge did not
want to have any criticism, and claiming that Charles Taze Russell who was
forever in one scandal right after another, could certainly bring a lot of
criticism to the masons if they listed him!
Anyone can see why the Grand Lodge would (not) really want to claim Russell
as a mason. Even if it were proven that Russell was a mason his name could
certainly bring criticism to the association of masons! In effect, listing
Russell as a mason could bring criticism which the British Grand Lodge worked
very hard to eliminate.
Russell's life was saturated in scandals, perjury in court, divorce, the
jelly fish case, miracle wheat, as well as other claims that could throw a dark
cloud on the mason's good name and reputation that they wanted to uphold to
the public.
So when the Grand Lodge posted the information that Russell was (not) a
mason, that information could have been based on their (impressions) and (false)
information given to the public.
The subject of the "three dots" found on page 737 to the (left) of Charles
Taze Russell's name in Lady Queenborough's book called "Occult Theocrasy, has
been researched and the information listed below would give good evidence as
to why the (context) of Russell's statements about being a mason were so
confusing.
It may be beneficial to note that the very same British Grand Lodge web site
who was quoted discrediting Charles Taze Russell as a Freemason, is also the
same web site that confirms the three dots as a definite masonic symbol!
And if these three dots are on paper next to a members name, then this
identification should be considered as authentic for masonic membership.
Quote: "The Spanish authorities were also aware of the importance placed by
freemasons upon the triangle. Its discovery on any document was taken as a
dead give-away that it was masonic. (See paragraph 5 here under Triangle
section) _http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html_
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html)
Quote: "The triangle also appeared constantly in masonic communications.
Many words frequently employed in documents, like taller, logia, hermano,
Venerable Maestro, bateria, Salud, Fuerza y Union, were abbreviated and the
abbreviations ended not with single dot but three dots arranged in a form of
triangle. " (See The triangle section here)
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html
One of the reasons that Russell's statements have been taken out of context
is because, Russell used 2 different dialogues at the same time! It was
Russell's duty as a mason to speak to certain ones [masons present] listening to
him speak in "mason dialect," while others hearing the very same speech would
take his statements as innocent, and never catch on to what he was saying to
his fraternal brothers. Other masons sitting in the same room and listening
to the same lecture, would take Russell's statements and the words he used to
apply to masonic meanings or protocols. Please consider some of the
information listed below:
«To the Happy Few»
[Stendhal]
Domenico Ghirlandaio, The Adoration of the Magi, 1488
The initiatic monogram (or trigram), but from now on I consider it as a
symbol meant to be handled as a whole, for the monogram is unsuitable to be
intended as disaggregated) isn't but that punctiform tripartition (.·.) so
familiar to the Freemasons and by which they perform those abbreviations apparently
meant to preserve and shelter the confidential nature of initiatic
terminologies.
W.·.M.·. for Worshipful Master
L.·. for Lodge
G.·.L.·. for Grand Lodge
Indeed the utility of these formulations rests also on the fact they allow
Brothers to talk of masonic arguments in a crowded environment without fear
that eavesdropping ears may clearly comprehend the topic of the dialogue.
The reasons for this option do not repose on narcissism but merely denote a
preference for a reserved attitude: subjectively, such preference may well be
nothing more than a gratuitous choice, but as far as another Brother is
concerned it has to be regarded as nothing short of a duty, because our partner
may be utterly unwilling, for reasons it is not in my right even to argue let
alone contend, to allow third parts learn his masonic affiliation/status from
the context of the undertaken dialogue.

So Russell could speak to an entire crowd of people using 2 different
dialogues. One dialogue was used for [innocent] ears, to make it appear to them,
that he was [not] siding with the masons, quote: " I trust we all are. But not
just after the style of our masonic brethren," while his other dialogue to
his mason friends in the crowd, would hear him say, quote "Now, I am a free
and accepted mason."
Why did the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon fail to mention to
their readers, that the [other] words that Russell used in his speech are [also]
listed as masonic language? Why did they leave that little tidbit of
information out?
Even if you leave out the word [mason], in Russell's speech, the [other]
words Russell used also had special meaning to the masons in the room, but would
[not] be noticed by others!
Please note the words "free and accepted" used in Russell's speech. What
meaning do those words have to freemasons? Here is the meaning of those words
from the very same British Grand Lodge web site, quote:
Free and Accepted : This term was first used in 1722 in J. Roberts', The Old
Constitutions belonging to the Ancient and Honourable Society of Free and
Accepted Masons. Accepted "Acception" was an Inner Fraternity of speculative
freemasons found within the Worshipful Company of Masons of the City of
London. Operative members were "admitted" by apprenticeship, patrimony, or
redemption; speculative members were "accepted". First recorded use of the term dates
from 1620.
http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/afandam.html#1
Using these 2 different speech dialogues in one lecture could assure Russell
that he was satisfying [both] those who were [not] masons, and those who
[were] masons listening to his discourse, without Russell giving away his
position in the freemasons. This method of communicating with a crowd of people
would give Russell a [way out], if he were confronted about his membership as a
freemason.
In the book called "Occult Theocracy" written by Lady Queenborough (Edith
Starr Miller), of which the information contained in that book came from the
generous assistance of "Mme Paquita de Shishmareff," Charles Taze Russell is
listed in the index section on page 737 as a Freemason!
The British Grand Lodge paints a picture of "imagination" surrounding the
book "Occult Theocrasy" by using such words as: hoax, assumed, fixated,
imagination, and so forth, yet found the life and books of Lady Queenborough
"noteworthy" in their description of Queenborough's accomplishments!
I truly don't believe that a former "Countess" is going to just "generously"
assist some psychopath book writer that has "no" evidence, documentation, or
better yet, eye-witness accounts as to the information contained in a book
that is also going to list [Former Countess], "Mme Paquita de Shishmareff" in
the very "Forward" of the book, if the information contained in it is not
accurate!
And what do other writing authorities have to say about L. Fry, ("Mme.
Paquita de Shishmareff?") who assisted Lady Queenborough in compiling the book
"Occult Theocrasy?"
Editorial Reviews
Book Description by L. Fry, ( Mme. Paquita de
Shishmareff )
The War Against the Kingship of Christ. Authoress, Fry was married to one of
the aristocrats of Czarist Russia and she suffered harrowing experiences in
the days of the Boishevist Revolution. This first hand knowledge of Communism
in action has given authority to her writings. For many years she was
associated with the work of the late French priest Monseigneur Jouln, helping him
in his research into the atheistic and Judeo-Bolshevist plot against
Christianity.
-flowing-eastward.html>http://www.fourwinds10.com/news/02-education/A-books/2004/02A-04-14-04-waters
-flowing-eastward.html
So here we have a writer who shows full eye-witness [authority], while the
writers on the British Grand Lodge web site are listed by their own people as
writers with only [some] authority!
Further research into this matter shows that L. Fry ("Mme Paquita de
Shishmareff"), generously assisted "Lady Queenborough!" in the writing of the book
"Occult Theocracy." Lady Queenborough received the help from Shishmareff, and
was in a "protected" position because these writings contained names of many
"Secret Society's" known at that particular time. After Lady Queenborough's
death her book was published called "Occult Theocracy" which contained names
and ranks of many of these secret societies.
In the "Forward" of the book called "Occult Theocracy" we find this
statement from Lady Queenborough about the help she received from Shishmareff:
"It is for their instruction that this book has been written. Its
compilation has taken several years and, had it not been for the generous efforts of
one of my friends, Mme de Shishmareff and of several other persons, I would
never have been able to complete the task which I set out to accomplish."
So the compilation, publishing, and information contained in the book
"Occult Theocrasy" was [not] just from the hand or imagination of Lady
Queenborough. She mentions "several others" who also assisted her. Are we to believe
that "all" of these people conspired with Lady Queenborough to just make up
fantasy stories? It might do well for us to know who Lady Queenborough was and
what kind of people she was associated with and their connections to these
"secret societies!"
Please note the names and titles of some of the people associated with Lady
Queenborough. Why don't we start with her husband. Notice the underlined
sections!
Almeric High Paget, Lord Queenborough Born one of
fourteen children in 1861, Almeric Paget left Harrow in the late 1879 with few
resources and moved to the American mid-west, herding cattle for several years
near Le Mars, Iowa, where he was befriended by Theodore Roosevelt. He later
relocated to St Paul, Minnesota where he took up real estate sales. His
brother, Arthur, introduced him into New York society where he developed further
business contacts and met his first wife, Pauline Whitney. In 1901 he
returned to England for his wife's health. Independently wealthy and politically
active after 1906, in 1920 he became treasurer of the League of Nations Union,
an office he filled for sixteen years until he became disillusioned with
the League's development and resigned. _9_

How about those credentials for being able to know the inside members of
"secret societies?" Lady Queenborough was privy through her husband "Baron
Queenborough" as well as others to the inside information, names, and memberships
of many secret societies and their members.
Did you notice the name "Theodore Roosevelt" listed above? And the father
to Baron Queenborough's first wife was the "Secretary of The Navy?" How many
times do you see references to words such as: "President," "Royal Society,"
"Officer," "Director," "Gen" [for General] of this company or that company in
Baron Queenborough's history file?
I seriously do not know of any Freemason's Lodge that would not roll out the
red carpet for a visit from such individuals as Baron Queenborough or his
wife Lady Queenborough! Certainly with friendships to people such as "Theodore
Roosevelt" any freemason's lodge would feel honored with a visit from people
with these credentials!
Friends, when my wife gets home from church, she tells me everything that
went on at church and who did this, and who did that. I can tell you nearly
every name of every member of my wife's church, and the jobs they perform,
where they live, and even some of their telephone numbers, and I HAVE NEVER EVEN
STEPPED FOOT INTO MY WIFE'S CHURCH!
I guarantee you, if I were a friend to Theodore Roosevelt as well as other
high ranking officials such as the Secretary of The Navy, it would not be any
problem at all to get the names of members of secret societies! These secret
societies would welcome me with open arms if I were walking along side of
people with credentials such as these!
The book "Occult Theocracy" was not intended for public circulation, but was
only intended for private distribution. "Occult Theocracy" was published
after Lady Queenborough died which is the way she wanted these events to occur.
And with the generous assistance Lady Queenborough received from "Mme
Paquita de Shishmareff," her book was published in 1933.
In the "Forward" of the book called "Occult Theocracy," we find these
statements by Lady Queenborough:
"THIS BOOK makes no claim to literary merit. It is simply a work of research
and documentation, giving evidence and facts which I trust will help the
reader in drawing his own conclusions."
The above statement by "Queenborough" (making no literary claim) to her book
is not at all saying that the information in the book is not accurate. It is
only a claim that she was not making book writing a profession, or that her
literature skills were not professional enough, in her opinion, that she
could make a living from her writings. We know this to be true because she goes
on to mention in her statement that her research was based on documentation
and things she "witnessed" with her own eyes, which gives her writings, and the
assistance given to her by Shishmareff more accountability! However,
Queenborough leaves the opinion of the reader up to themselves.
I would make a statement like that to, or something along the same lines, if
I were worried about my safety or the safety of my children because also
included in the "Forward" of "Occult Theocracy" we find this statement by
"Queenborough:"
"As a woman of the world I have witnessed things the existence of which I
did not suspect and I have realized that, due to my "protected" position in
life, they should never have been expected to have come to my knowledge. Let me
tell every woman, how ever much "protected", whether Dairymaid or Duchess,
that the safeguards which she imagines to be thrown around herself are but a
mirage of the past. Her own and her children's future are at the mercy of those
"forces" the activities of which it has been my business for the last ten
years, to follow as one of a group of investigators."
Why did "Lady Queenborough fear having her book published while she was
alive? If the information contained in her book was a bunch of hogwash, then why
was it necessary for her to be protected? Why did "Lady Queenborough" want her
book published only "after" her death? What "forces" did Queenborough fear?
And what fear would one have for their children's future because of this
information?
If Lady Queenborough was imagining all of these names and members of "secret
societies" then why would she fear for her children? Surely her children
would not be harmed by her imagination!
As I have stated before, I really believe that Charles Taze Russell engaged
in [other practices], that I personally believe were more condemning than
freemasonry. Just as Lady Queenborough leaves her book up to the reader, then I
also leave up to the reader of this research as to what they will believe or
will not believe. But my personal view is that when the Grand Lodge of
British Columbia and Yukon listed Charles Russell as [not] being a mason when
they can not confirm such a claim, then in view of the research that I have done
as well as others, I would take the listing of Russell's name in the book
"Occult Theocrasy" as accurate, because the very same British Grand Lodge has
already informed their readers that when the [triangular three dots] appear
beside a persons name on paper, this identification should be considered as an
authentic document to being a member of freemasonry! Here is Charles Taze
Russell's name listed with the 3 triangular identifying dots beside his name on
page 737 of "Occult Theocrasy."

Edith Starr Miller, daughter of William Starr Miller of New York and niece
of Lloyd E. Warren, married Almeric Hugh Paget (1861/03/14 -1949/09/22) —
first and only Lord Queenborough and sixth son of Lord Alfred Henry Paget
(d1888) — on July 19,1921, by whom she had three daughters. Of her parents, all
that is known is that her father William Starr Miller — a socially prominent
New York industrialist — commissioned the architects Carrere & Hastings to
design his six-storey townhouse at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 86th Street
in 1914. Although something is known of Almeric's life, and that of his
two daughters, Olive (Lady Baillie) and Dorothy, from his first marriage (New
York: 1895/11/18) to Pauline Whitney (1874-November 22, 1916), little is
known about Edith.
Noteworthy in the historiography of conspiracy theory, _Edith
Starr Miller_ http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/miller_e/miller_e.html
is a widely quoted yet little known figure. Her title, Lady Queenborough, is
often misspelt "Queensborough" and sometimes referred to as a pen-name or
pseudonym. She is sometimes associated with the Order of the Golden Dawn and
the British Fascist movement. Her death in 1933 is sometimes described as
suspicious. Neither her "suspicious" death nor associations are documented. Her
Occult Theocrasy makes no claim to be an objective study nor representative
of primary source research and a _selection of her remarks_

demonstrates that she was fixated on a perceived LORD QUEENBOROUGH Died on
