From the blog of Jeremy McGowan:
I told Sean that I was a 3rd Degree Master Mason and wondered if Lue was. Sean stated that he believed he was but couldn’t confirm it. So, when the opportunity presented itself in Lue’s basement office, I asked him, point-blank, if he was a Mason. The terminology I used was if he was a member of the Blue Lodge. A “Blue Lodge” is a Masonic lodge in which the first three degrees are conferred. It is a common term and one that is known by every Mason I’ve ever met. Simply googling the term will provide the commonality of its use. The reply I got from Lue would leave me stunned, with every alarm bell sounding, watching and waiting for something else to be wrong.
Lue seemed to pause for a moment before answering my Blue Lodge question and replied, “No, but I am a 33 Degree Scottish Rite Mason.”
It will take a moment for me to explain to the non-initiated why his response gave me the chills. Let’s start with the most obvious: It is absolutely impossible to be a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason in ANY open Valley of the Scottish Rite without being also a 3rd Degree Master Mason in good standing at an active and recognized/non-clandestine Blue Lodge. So for Lue to deny being a member of the Blue Lodge but claim to be a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason is unless he is a member of an unauthorized, unrecognized and clandestine Valley of the Scottish Rite, bullshit.
According to Jeremy, Luis told him he was a 33rd degree Mason but said he wasn’t a member of a “Blue Lodge” (which doesn’t make sense if he is really a 33rd degree Mason). So either Jeremy is lying here, or Luis is lying about being a Mason… and if Luis is lying about being a Mason that is a huge red flag. I’ve always tended to believe in much of what Elizondo says (even though a lot of it is very vague), but after reading some of Jeremy’s posts about Elizondo I’m wondering if Elizondo is who he really says he is.
Maybe this is a point that can be followed up on in another interview with Luis. Certainly he should be able to provide a rebuttal to this claim.
