From the Declaration of Independence:
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
"Humanity’s concept of freedom and liberation is linked to Sirius. The Fourth of July is linked to the conjunction of our physical Sun, the center of our solar system, and our spiritual Sun, Sirius. Regulus, the heart star of Leo the Lion, focuses and regulates the emanations of Sirius toward Earth."
Revolutionary War:
"London blamed Templar Freemasonry for the humiliating British defeat, suggesting that Cornwallis, Clinton, and the Howe brothers were all Templar Freemasons and had conspired to lose to their fellow Freemasons."
