Gideon means Judge - and it was said in Judges that he stood every man in his place. So Gideons must be a military front organization, this bible toting company - once known as Christian Commercial Travelers - traveled in pairs, and sound like the Mafia. So Gideon and his three hundred - and from his prey he took the golden earrings for they were Ishmaelites......one story claims from these earrings he made the mercy seat. Solid gold. So Gideon and his 300 took the gold but turned down the crown, Gideon did, but one thinks of John D. Rockefeller and his weekly bible reading sessions.....one remembers how the labor unions and the big business boys fought it out using the bible as justification for their cause - BREAD not roses was the call..... Pinkertons sent in as strike breakers.....the Molly McGuires hanged - all wearing red roses....Pinkertons founded the first Sercret Service in this country - and one still wonders who really did in Lincoln..... Well once they built a railroad - but never saw any of them begging for a dime yet..... The unions have been "busted"......are all in the same boat now with CFR - oh so impressed with this oh so social group. Anybody can join their local CFR which is nothing but self glorified Chamber of Commerce in export and import and boy the snow really flies when some of those ships, come in....so maybe I join local CFR if we have one as they have in Chicago and Boston. Big deal - sit with a millionaire or king, but these peons who were admitted still go home to their lowly stable at night....oh this freemasonry. Saba
