Douchebaggery on Parade

It's been a while since we posted, but, as usual, the unfathomable depths of Solomon's arrogant puffery and his personal delusions of grandeur awoke us from our current relaxed state of ambivalence about all things HHI. (We mean, c'mon! One of their founders just publicly, badly disgraced himself...again! How much attention do these guys deserve?).

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out Bartram's insanely disjointed, highly nonacademic thread called "The American Phenomenon of Treasure Hunting" over on the HHI website. Besides being poorly written and argued, it's more conspiratorial than the JFK-assassination and Fake Moon Landing weirdos combined (e.g. he puts heavy emphasis and offers lots of nonsensical non sequiturs about Mormons and Freemasons).

One can almost envision the Master Twit penning this drivel -- sun about to rise, him furiously kneading overgrown brows, dramatically stroking that empty bald noggin, quaffing copious amounts of sherry. This latest installment encapsulates some of his hair-brained notions, while displaying his grandiose sense of self-importance. It's particularly entertaining that he sees himself as an unappreciated victim of the "enemies of truth." Of course, the "truth" is something only he offers up to an ungrateful world of idiots and frauds...in other words, anyone who dares disagree with his Sageness (Bartram really is a cantankerous, bitter douchebag). Hilarious.

Check it out:

'Occult and esoteric involvement has often been downplayed by the Craft and relegated to a category of activity referred to as “Fringe Masonry”, in which the participants are painted as either charlatans or as slightly delusional. This is of course a response to the use of this historical data by those promoting an anti-Masonic agenda. The truth is that the interest of these Freemasons in the occult needs to be considered in a purely historical context.'

The denials, the misrepresentations, are all to be expected in defence of the Masonic cause, right? That is also what I was told to expect when I asked about their fraudulent activities. That is what I got and I wasn't attacking the 'Craft', but asking politely on a matter of history.

It was the nature of my enquiry that frightened. That is, those of whom I enquired were gutless. Morally worthless. Great people, just the sort you want in positions of authority - not. I needn't make an attack - any damage has been and is being done by themselves.

Perhaps one day somebody will have the rectitude to make a truthful account, or perhaps I will just have to continue dragging it out of them. The web is worldwide - everyone has a voice. The silence has spoken volumes on this generation already. ~Solomon

P.S. I once sat on a corporate Board and found I was the only non-Freemason; none could be bothered and one by one I had to fire them all - they thought they were due payment for just being there. I was and am unimpressed.

There you have it. The full douchebaggery known as HHI's "Solomon" -- archaeologist and historian of great stature ... for us to poop on!

Oh what we wouldn't give to see Bartram's royal wrath at such pedestrian criticism of his life's work! We fully expect red-faced rage and an Irish whiskey-soaked spittle outburst at the nerve of the illiteratti!

We bet that infamous horsewhip gets a strenuous workout too.
