The Asian dude in this pic is not Xi. Previous guy? Mebe.
These robes look 100% like Traditional Vietnamese robes. It has become common practice to dress the 'dignitaries' in the local traditional garb for a photo op when conducting a big Summit or Conference.
Secret Grand Lodge meeting? Comon. We are better than this.
The creator is trying to say the pattern is a masonic symbol. Yeah, right.
Take a close look. Looks very much like a traditional asian (Vietnamese) symbol to me. More like a flowering Lotus plant. : hi-res: https://files.catbox.moe/wstte3.jpg
The "secret lodge" is the APEC summit. I'm not saying they aren't scum, but this is, er, wrong.
I agree. I did a deport to raise attention to the fakeness, whereupon the mods (whether Catty or no) de-stickied.
I originally thought, delete it, it's fake. But then I also thought, actually, there are lessons to be learned here, so don't delete, just unsticky, and take advantage of learning opportunity.
If we erase all our mistakes, how will we, or others, learn?
Thanks for the info. Imagine living in a time when you're (I'm) disappointed in Putin, of all people, lol. Now I can go back to admiring him from afar.
There is no reason to keep any fake news up unless you solely care about upvotes or you're trying to intentionally spread misinformation. Many people just read the headline without checking the comments, not to mention trust posts put out by our mods. How many more people will upvote this today as they browse this site because he refuses to delete it? It hurts GA's credibility. Might as well become conspiracy.win.
I thought so, too, especially with the auto-upvotes that seem to occur. But then I reflected, and I decided the lessons to be learned are more valuable.
I mean, I was on the post as soon as it came out, and my comment was only second to the post because I wanted to do some digs and throw up some comprehensive info in my comment.
So: one, there are new pedes and new anons arriving all the time. It's one thing to post fake news, then keep it up, etc, but I think this is actually an opportunity for a good number to read the post, see the comment, and learn about digs, about verification, etc.
Moreover, it was posted by a mod, and stickied by a mod, who then UNSTICKIED in response to the clarifying comments.
If you think that mods here, as a general rule, care anything about upvotes, well, you are missing the point big time.
So you believe the mod decided to keep the fake-news post because of a teachable moment? Good on ya for being able to place such trust in anonymous internet users. I admit, I tend to be more of a cynic. Those with more power should be held to a higher standard. I've deleted my own posts after learning of their invalidity. Is it so much to expect "our betters" to practice the same discretion?
For context, two days ago I had to correct someone who was spreading fake news that was obtained from one of catsfive's sensationalist headlines. This user had not delved further into the post, for if he had he would have learned that the information gleamed solely from the headline was misleading. As I write this, 303 people have upvoted OP's fake post. Do you believe it's worth duping that many people as long as some of them learned a lesson in trusting things at face value?
PPS. Okay, you have a point. Sigh, its been a long day. Some numnut just posted a clip of soccer fans in Austria saying that it was Austrians standing up against Vax passports. <facepalm> And some nuffnut actually stickied it. <double facepalm>
So maybe you have a point.
I think I just have a soft spot for hard working mods (I do).
I'm a bit curious as to WHY Cats didn't remove the post....
Well fren, it looks like he finally deleted it. Perhaps this exchange between us gave him a different perspective. I'll give credit where credit's due. Thanks catsfive! I appreciate the change of heart.
haha. Now I see. Actually, he had deleted by the time I got around to replying to your reply. I just didn't cognize it. (i.,e. the votes are still there, but the post is gone.)
"Good on ya for being able to place such trust in anonymous internet users."
What are the benefits of mistrust, here, among compatriots working, fighting and investing for a common cause? (Unless of course you aren't here working, fighting and investing for a common cause?)
I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who invests hours and hours of effort in order to help this community run and be available.
"more power" Hmmmm.... I have a problem with what appears to be your perspective. What "power"? What is the personal gain that this power provides? Aside from an ego kick?
You have every right to delete your own post, particularly on learning "invalidity". I've done the same if I recall.
But it seems not so much that you want to hold the mod to "a higher standard", but rather to project your own standard on to him.
I have no issue with you expressing the view that a clearly false posts should be deleted. I do have an issue with you if you attempt to assert you have the right to demand it. Or that you are taking what I would characterize as an almost belligerent attitude (considering your language) towards those that serve here, voluntarily, for your benefit.
In the language you share, the focus on you and your actions is quite pronounced. It doesn't seem like your position is entirely objective, or without emotional attachment.
I myself have a very solid pet peeve. It is the sharing of fake and fraudulent news. I encounter it all the time, on telegram, on other media, and sometimes here. Note the moderately invested comment I made directly in response to this post. That took time and effort.
All i can say at this point is that I feel more strongly that gratitude and appreciation for imperfect voluntary servants is a more powerful force for good and our ultimate solidarity and awakening than harsh criticisms delivered from a position of investing far less, or from a position of emotional attachment.
If it was a general pede habitually posting fake news, I'd be far more inclined to advocate for censure. As it is, I'm quite happy to give more .... latitude to those who serve in a way that, as far as I can see, reflects selflessness, dedication, and investment.
That said, I am sympathetic if your primary concern here is for the quality and credibility of GAW. And, to be honest, up until a few months ago, I would have had the same concerns, and possibly even expressed them in the way you do.
However, having come through so much pain and frankly, torment (I live in Australia, and I live in Crazy Central in Australia - Melbourne, where my people have been in 14+ months of lockdown, curfews, suicides, businesses broken, well, so, so so much more I could tell, but I won't), the focus of my views have changed somewhat.
We will always make mistakes, and no mod will ever be perfect (neither will any user). But solidarity, unity, and mutual support with good will is the ONLY thing that will bring us through what is happening around the world today.
Thus, while I'm sympathetic with your desire to see the best, highest credibility for GAW, I'm am powerfully inclined to the conviction that its HOW we value and treat each other that will make the greatest difference.
Aside from this, the issue of whether Cats should remove the post or not, or for what reason, i cannot comment more.
On the other hand, I'm just expressing my view here, and it should not be taken as some sort of denial that your own view isn't valid. Maybe our emphasis is simply different.
No, this is not a secret freemason event, but an APEC summit in Vietnam in 2006 with a very poor (but maybe deliberate) choice of attire by the organisers:
World leaders ill at ease over tunics and North Korea
Things have changed drastically since then, such that Putin had rid Russia of much of the deep state influence in Russia. Now the ball is in our court.
Are you fucking retarded posting this bullshit??? A "secret grand lodge meeting:?? LOL!! Do you intentionally post absolute bullshit lies or do you just get images from the internet and say "ohh this must be legit"? This is from a visit to Vietnam and they're wearing a traditional Ao Dai for men and no those are NOT masonic images on the Ao Dai's they're not even close! Stop up voting this crap!
Last freemason we had as president was Gerald Ford. Ok, Reagan got his first degree but never advanced. Cheney was a member but was vp. Obama might have been a prince hall member but I have not seen documentation of where or when. But the prince hall lodges are still largely considered clandestine.
I still say what this world needs are more master masons, God, your neighbor and yourself. The masonic lectures contain words of wisdom everyone should embrace, the world would be a better place if they did.
BAHA HAHAH HAHAHAHAHA Masonry is for total losers who couldnt find purpose in life and need to feel better about themselves because they dont know God at all and need something to boost themselves, thx tho
I was unaware of their connections to 12th century France.
Also no way those patterns are lotus flowers which are big symbol in Buddhism.
This is a traditional Vietnamese garment, worn by said leaders during visits IN VIETNAM, back when Putin had some hope to work cooperatively with the USA.
This is hot-glowing fake news if I have ever seen it. The fact its stickied makes me wonder about the integrity of this board. And its a pull from iFunny.com no less, one of the MANY liberal misinformation outlets for mind programming.
No one would ban you for this. LOL, totally embarrassing for me. I'll take it. Ugh, I should never sticky anything just because I'm on a plane and feel special that I have wifi
Masons don't have nearly as much power anymore and are just an old wing of the cabal. This picture is of course, a complete hoax and Bush Jr. And even Bush Sr. aren't masons . They're just frat boy moloch worshipers.
Someone dressed them in robes that look like they're peppered with freemason symbols. That was likely intentional and worthy of at least some discussion.
I wouldn't put much weight on this. What was the context of it? Was it worn for PR purpose? What is thew message? Direction or misdirection? How involved is Putin in freemasonry? George Washington belonged to the lodge, but he was a deeply religious man of Christ. Donning a robe is not necessarily meaningful.
We know Bush is Skull & Bones, so did he advocate this? Politicians are also actors. It serves their own purposes.
Um, no.
The Asian dude in this pic is not Xi. Previous guy? Mebe.
These robes look 100% like Traditional Vietnamese robes. It has become common practice to dress the 'dignitaries' in the local traditional garb for a photo op when conducting a big Summit or Conference.

Because a mod posted it and they sticky all their own ahit, even when it's fake news. Donald would not be proud.
Lol my fellow pedes can you not spot a test? I’d say you passed!
It’s just a prank, bro!
So at best, this is a “White Night” tier shitpost.
That’s not something to laugh at either way.
We immune.
Even our great mods are imperfect.
We know. No one is perfect.
Re read his comment. We can’t call out fake news then spread our own.
There’s even an ifunny.co watermark on the bottom of the meme. Lol
Cats five probably liked it....!
WWG1WGA
I posted it but you know, I should have marked it RESEARCH WANTED instead of RED PILL
hahahahha. Well, yeah.
1 point deducted from the thousands you have, for not being perfect.
Hey, it was a learning thing, and hopefully, for our new pedes, too.
“WTF is a pede? We are anons here m8.”
lol be careful how you use “pede” here you’ll get downvotes 😂
Downvotes distress me not. I've lived through 2021 (well, so far).
Me either sticks and stones ... 😂

Yeah this same thing made the rounds on the Reddit conspiracy board a few years ago. It’s traditional Viet robes with a lotus flower.
I’m all for calling out Freemasons, but dig a little instead of latching on to the first meme you see.

If only you were half as funny as you think.

Quick note: did you read and digest the significance of Cats other post: https://greatawakening.win/p/140IrwPIDB/remember-those-fun-modmail-scree/
I dunno. All I can say is, heart and solidarity counts for a LOT in this anons book. For good reason.

Things have changed drastically since then, such that Putin had rid Russia of much of the deep state influence in Russia. Now the ball is in our court.
As soon as I saw Putin I KNEW this was nothing. Putin hates everything associated with the Cabal, he's a white hat.
Same here, saw Putin and immediately knew it was fake.
Cats does heaps of good stuff. I think perhaps he was just a little trigger happy on this one.
He probably overworks. Cats, do you, um, need some time off?
Note: thanks to ALL mods who do an outstanding job, consistently.

Take this bullshit post down.
This is BS … traditional robes of Asian historical meaning…
Putin likely argued over having to wear this flowery garb… Bush was probably sexually aroused 🤭
Wow I’ve never seen this picture before. We keep getting proven right. Russia, Russia, Russia has new meaning.
Why?
Last freemason we had as president was Gerald Ford. Ok, Reagan got his first degree but never advanced. Cheney was a member but was vp.
