Rogue police force run by Freemasons in California


Kamala Harris aide arrested for allegedly running rogue police force
By ADAM B. LERNER 5/6/15 10:05 AM EDT Updated 5/6/15 10:34 AM EDT
An employee of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was arrested for allegedly serving in a leadership role in the extrajudicial Masonic Fraternal Police Department, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
Brandon Kiel, the deputy director of community affairs for California’s Justice Department, which Kamala Harris heads, is currently on administrative leave as he faces charges of impersonating a police officer.

Kiel allegedly called himself the “chief deputy director” of the Masonic Fraternal PD in letters to various southern California police departments requesting meetings with officials.
During a search of two locations, Santa Clarita Valley police officers uncovered badges, identification cards, weapons, uniforms and vehicles resembling those of law enforcement officers, a local CBS affiliate reported.

Freemasons require belief in a supreme being. Knights Templar are a sub-group who require members to be Christian.

Are these guys a threat, or are they just kooks?

First, no Mason worth their sash would approve of graphics this crappy:



And this misuse of capitalization borders on offensive:

I don't see that Harris has much to do with it though. Sure, one of her aides is involved. But is she responsible for what her aides do on their free time?

It wasn't Harris; it was one of her aides.

I remain skeptical. Masonic conspiracy theories are a growth industry.
