All of the symbols on the one dollar bill have an historical connection with the oldest, largest, and most prominent secret society in the world, the Freemasons. Freemasonry s origin predates the American Revolution. Early in the 18 th century the British Empire in its quest for world power needed a covert intelligence gathering agency with effective access to the people of Europe. Masonic lodges, which were basically Catholic institutions for building cathedrals, schools, and other structures were widely in use across Europe during the Middle Ages. About 1717 the British secret intelligence Service began to systematically purge the ranks of Masonry of Catholic influences.
Covert intelligence gathering was hidden from rank and file Masons behind stories of Jewish antiquities and Christian Knighthood along with the occult cover of a multitude of mysterious degrees on initiation. During the 18 th century Freemasonry was always patriotic in Great Britain, but in America and France Freemasonry was a primary revolutionary force. Britain s token resistance to the American Revolution allowed New Age (novus ordo seclorum) Deists and Freemasons to install a Masonic republic in North America complete with checks and balances designed to make it subservient to the money power of the Bank of England. Freemasonry is an unofficial branch of the governments of Great Britain and the United States, and these governments see to it that the subject of Freemasonry is not discussed in the school systems.

He took his oath of office as President of the United States on the Bible of St. John s Lodge of New York City, and took part in Masonic ceremonies in laying the corner stone of the capital in Washington, D.

“In God We Trust first appeared on U. S. coins after 1864 when Congress passed an Act authorizing the coinage of a two-cent piece bearing this motto. It was first printed on the one dollar bill in 1957 in compliance with an act of July 11, 1953 requiring that the motto be placed on all coins and currency as new dies were adopted. In 1856 the 84 th Congress decreed In God We Trust to be the national motto of the United States replacing E Pluribus Unum. Since 1963 all denominations of money come inscribed with In God We Trust.

Until 1893 two treasury Seals were used, one with the Mason s square and another with a chevron. Between the years 1893 and 1968 a Treasury Seal with only the Mason s square was exclusively used. In 1968 the Masonic square was discontinued and afterwards only a chevron has been depicted between the scale and key.
