Most
news outlets have been silent about which one of Albert Eid's pockets
contained the loaded gun which was used to shoot William James. They usually recite the same line:
"...and apparently pulled the wrong
one out of his pocket."
Since the information about which pocket
the loaded gun was in is available, the news outlets should report it. It
appears they have elected not to. A few
media outlets, however, have reported the information made available to
them by the authorities: Albert Eid pulled the loaded gun from his right
pocket.
I am aware
of a Newsday article posted on March 13th that has stated the reverse: that Eid pulled the loaded
gun from his left pocket. This is troublesome, but what is even more
bizarre is that this same online news outlet stated the loaded
gun was in Eid's right pocket just three days before!
"loaded gun
in right pocket Newsday article
"loaded
gun in left pocket Newsday article
Why is the Newsday article, posted
five days after William James' death, telling a different story—regarding
the loaded pistol—than what they published just three days before?
The
Newsday article is the only one that I have read at this point that makes the claim that the
loaded gun was in Albert Eid's left pocket! The Which gun
and which pocket stories are being switched around. WHY?

and scroll down to read the quotes which state the loaded gun was in Eid's right pocket.
Mutual
Assistance: Going Too Far
Considering
how the "Freemasons are an
international brotherhood with lodges all over the world with the stated
object of mutual assistance" I do wonder if any "mutual
assistance" is going on in the press for the sake of this
"brother" in trouble. The press
seems to be de-emphasizing the fact that a man has been shot to death while
being led to believe he was safe and in the hands of brothers.
In
the United States of America, may a Mason shoot a man to death, and simply
because he has a blank gun on his person, be automatically considered
innocent of ill intent? If so, we have a caste system in our society when
it comes to killings. Such a system is needed to usher in global government,
when killings will be done singly and enmasse at the discretion of the
governing elite. [Note:
A reader reminded me that in the United States of America,
defendants are considered innocent of a crime until proven
guilty. Yes, I understand that. My intended point was that
because so many police officers are members of the [Masonic]
brotherhood,' it is probable that the investigation was biased
from the start. The reader also said, "It is NOT the police who
decide if a suspect is to be charged with a crime, and if so,
which crime(s). The DA or City Attorney makes those
determinations. The police may make recommendations, but they
don't make the decisions." This point is well taken but it needs
to be mentioned that a large percentage of attorneys and most
judges are Freemasons. Masons take care of each other in the court
system as unfair as it may seem to outsiders.]
A Cover Up is in Process
The Grand Lodge did not say "The Fellow Craft" club was not
officially connected with the Masons in the immediate aftermath
of the shooting:
The Grand Lodge, which oversees all Masonic organizations in New
York, declined comment on the tragedy except to say guns are not
a normal part of its rituals.
(Quote source: Guns and Guillotines)
I can understand the reason the Grand Lodge "declined comment"
and why nobody would tell William James' widow what happened.
They needed time to devise a plan. And they did.
It was not until later that the Grand Lodge began to make
assertions that the group involved in what turned out to be a
lethal initiation ritual is only a "social club" and is not an
officially sanctioned branch of the Masons:
The Fellowcraft Club was not a sanctioned branch of the Masons,
Fitje said.
(Quote source: State Group Begins Probe)
While the Masonic Lodge is finding it expedient to try distance
themselves from The Fellow Craft Club, they cannot get away from
the fact that one must be a member of the Lodge in order to join
the Fellow Craft Club!
[The hidden message behind the "only a social club," and "not
sanctioned" lines: The headquarters of Freemasonry does not want
to be held liable for the death of William James. The Masonic
headquarters is trying to absolve themselves of all
responsibility in the hopes of avoiding a wrongful death suit.]
A panel of Masonic lawyers will conduct a three to four month
investigation to "decide whether to reinstate the lodge, expel
some or all of its members, or bring Masonic disciplinary
charges." This is will not result in any significant disclosure
because Masons will not charge fellow Masons with any serious
wrong-doing. It is part of their mutual assistance creed. (Quote
source: Masonic Lodge Suspended After Shooting.)
The three or four months time allotment scheduled for the Masons
to supposedly investigate themselves is plenty of time in which
they could destroy all evidence and pressure into silence every
person who knows about or who has already mentioned guns are
involved in Masonic initiations! Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick
knows that guns are used in masonic rites and said so...
immediately after the shooting took place:
While officials of the lodge denied that guns play a role in
ceremonies, Fitzpatrick said members told police the rite
involving a gun with blanks goes back at least 70 years.

'Tragically Wrong')
The Value of a Life is Not Conditioned Upon the Status of the
Person Who Took it
William James' life is not less valuable than any other person
who was shot to death. The fact that a Mason of high rank shot
William James should have nothing to do with the thoroughness
and integrity of the investigation into how and whys of this
tragic event. Albert Eid brought a loaded semi-automatic .32
caliber pistol to a masonic rite and shot James with that gun
instead of the one with blanks. The blank gun was brought
because it was really supposed to be used in the ritual or
because its presence would be used as an alibi. For what reason
was the gun with live ammunition brought to the ritual?
Any police officer involved in conducting a criminal
investigation into this matter who is also a Mason should
disqualify himself from the investigation to avoid a conflict of
interest. To be a Mason and investigate another Mason who is
charged with a criminal offense is to have an automatic conflict
of interest.
Yes, many police officers are Masons. New York's Grand Master
Mason, Carl J. Fitje, used to be a New York police detective:
``The only secrets we really have anymore are a few
handshakes,'' Fitje, a retired New York police detective, said
in an interview with The Associated Press last year.
(Quote source: Deadly Shooting Puts Spotlight on Masons)
It is no wonder that the New York police department immediately
told the press that William James' shooting death, which
occurred during a Masonic rite, was completely accidental. Is
conflict of interest the reason the police assumed that such a
precise shot was done with what the shooter assumed was a blank
gun? Is the masonic goal of "mutual assistance" the reason the
New York police did not think it was highly unlikely that Albert
Eid did not know the feel of his own gun--which had been
registered to him since the 1950's?
The only details the press has mentioned regarding an
investigation at this point is regarding the history of the the
Fellow Craft Club, which the "Master" of the Grand Lodge wants
you to think is only a social club that is not officially
connected with the Masons:
A panel of Masonic lawyers would examine the history of the
Fellow Craft Club at the Patchogue lodge, how long it has
existed, how many Masons were members and the types of rituals
they performed.
(Quote source: Masonic Lodge is Suspended After Shooting)
William James wanted to move up in Masonry. Why would he waste
his time being initiated into a "social club" that was not an
official Masonic order?
Damage control for the Masons includes stating that the
initiation that resulted in the death of William James was not
legitimately Masonic:
"I have never heard of anything like that," agreed Len
Henderson, a 30-year member of a lodge in Portsmouth, N.H. "I
was extremely upset to think people would think this had
anything to do with a legitimate Masonic initiation."
I do not believe that William James was undergoing an initiation
into a non-Masonic social club! His "brothers," in the wake of
his supposed accidental killing, have turned on him and said
that he was not even undergoing a real Masonic initiation!
The Masonic Lodge is considered by many people to be an elite
part of society, but they are not above the law. Not unless they
are allowed to be.

Masonic
"Trust" Ritual Results in Death
There used to be a
link here to a photo of Eid after the shooting. The police said he was distraught.
His lawyer
told the press that he is undergoing trauma therapy. It seems
there is a lot of sympathy for this marksman who fired what he
allegedly thought was a blank with perfect aim: right
through William James' nose.
