Hi, I live on Oak Island, NC, where there are no black residents. I own daves mobile graphics.com, & work at home. 2 black women had me make decals for their fairly new Altima. My neighbor, Wayne Smith, called 911 & claimed to be observing me dealing drugs in my driveway. I'm on Oak Island Water Rescue, & am qualified to drive a fire truck. I am not a druggie. Mr. Smith is the Oak Island Sudan Shriners President. The police did not charge him with filing a false report, & there are active & retired police in the masonic lodge, temple, & Shriners. I feel this was racial profiling, & I video taped this event. The officer in charged told me to cut my camera off, while in my own driveway. This harrassment began after I brought a large boat-all legally, & he swore to get rid of me & my boat. He continues to slander my good name. I have no criminal record except 1 DUI 5 years ago. Pleas help me if you can. Thank you, Dave...
Is this the Sandy Frost who I met at the airport in Clearwater FL at the Lynn Buchanan conference?
Remarkable work you've continued to do.
Sandy;
We read your newsvine and comments. We hope you, in your future articles, will mention that 3 of the Mexico children burn victims are now in the Shrine Hospital in Califrornia. We know you have criticized this program but not I think its time to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks so much for your brave investigations into this idiocy. What you have exposed is obviously the tip of the iceberg, and like you I've followed much of this type of thing over the years and it's monumental. These "Jesters" are a pathetic lower level bunch too, imagine what goes on in the more "elite" orders (if the Lincoln. It's decent people like you who FACE this stuff and EXPOSE it who do the real damage to their networks and their secrecy. I look forward to listening to the red ice interview. I have long theorized that there are epigenetic factors involved with psychopath behaviors, so I'm interested in what you have to say about DNA, etc. Anyway, thanks. I wish you protection and guidance. Take care~
Hi Ms. Frost,
Thank you for your informative articles but I was hoping the get more information from you regarding your research. Please contact me via email if possible of let me know how to get in touch with you. I am a concerned wife and I believe that knowledge is power and anything you can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Hi Sandy,
I got your email. The article was interesting. You've got passion about this subject! I'll be in touch when I get back to my office. Currently on the road auditing. Keep up the good work!
Talk about outright lies: Prince Hall Freemasons are regognized as "regular" by all but a handful of jurisdictions in the US. So President Obama (who is not a Mason) would be welcome to join. George W. or George H. Bush, neither one is ow was a Mason.
Also if a member were to be involved in an accident and become hanicapped it would be the obligation of all Masons to provide relief to this 'brother'.
As all educated or at least some common sense would know that people do bad things, sometimes they have been Masons. They are few and far between. We are all human after all.
When someone leave the lodge because they object to the religious tolerance of the Freemasons and due to the authors "intolerance" to other religions (self proclaimed), it is a wonder that they didn't wake up when told when first entering the lodge that this was the "way it works".
Also if you'd like a well written comentary on the works of Sandy Frost then you can go here: and scroll to the bottom.— Bill A.
I am a 52 year old. Former member of the Masonic lodge. I left the lodge when I found out it jioned all religions, and that the Holy Bible on the Alter could be replaced by the Koran. And that would be within the doctrine of the lodge, a district deputy of the lodge confirmed that for me. As a Christian I could not call a Muslim or any other person of another religion my brother and take a blood oath to protect that person at all cost. When I left the lodge, I was harassed, for a short while. I later was in an accident and it left me a parapelegic. By masonic law, I would have been kicked out at that time. You see, according to masonic law, you have to be a person of sound mind and body, and born a free man. They also consider all blacks born in the Unitied States born into slavery and not exceptible to the masonic lodge, although there is a masonic lodge among blacks, it is not recognised by the masonic lodge and is called the clandestent lodge. Barock obama is about to be our next President and he would not be allowed to jion the Masonic Lodge. But your beloved George W. Bush is a member. The one that has almost destroyed this country.
I cought three elected officials in fraud, they are republicans, they, I believe are masons, and they have been protected and I have been harassed by masons for trying to bring them to justice. I have been reminded that I am a mason by these people. I keep reminding them, I am not.
I would like for your readers to call or write the Dept of Justice, addressed to Yvonnie Demmerrette SPL and ask her why havent you help Charles Gleaves
He reported a felony, and has been denied his civil liberties. Thats your job.

Do you want to know who Sam Houston is.......?
The Omar Temple and its Board of Advisors for DSC has finally made the move the long-time Dorchester Shriners had said they were expecting. They moved in the Director's Staff, that had been voted down several times by DSC members. That provided Omar and its appointed Board of Advisors with the membership to gain control of the club if they ever needed the votes. Now they have again removed the officers that they appointed. Because of these members' loyalty to DSC, they are making the changes that Omar knows will drive out the existing membership and the club will be theirs.
The DSC is an extremely valuable property on a private lake. The land all around it is being developed into subdivisions, condos, etc. It is becoming an island unto itself. It is beloved by the members who purchased it, have built it and cared for it for many years and now they are being pushed out one step at a time.
One of the Board of Advisors made a comment to the effect that the members (what they want) don't count. That echoes the attitude of Omar and its
acting board at DSC. They have falsely accused members of wide-spread drug use, and all kinds of misconduct, as excuses for their actions.
I am a strong believer is what goes around, comes around, and these men
will somehow pay for what they have done to the DSC membership, their reputation, and their love for their property.
