Oregon House of Representatives Committee on Rules

Subject: House Bill 2387- Funding and replacement of Oregon's Jason Lee statue with a statue of Mark

Hatfield in National Statuary Hall, Washington D.C.

Dear Committee Members;

My understanding of HB 2387 is that would authorize the Oregon State Capitol Foundation, with assistance from the Oregon Historical Society, to raise funds for completion and placement of a statue of former Senator Mark Hatfield to replace the Jason Lee statue currently housed in National Statuary Hall in Washington D.C.

Frankly, my grave concern about this bill is that from its seminal root and history the effects of it on today's Oregon would be to continue us on a generational path that has stamped our state with a very unsavory reputation. Oregon's very earliest history was of a true godly nature; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob blessed this land and her original inhabitants greatly through the missionary, Jason Lee. Reverend Lee was called, ordained and sent by Jehovah to befriend, teach and lead the natives to Jesus Christ—and in that and much more his mission proved successful. His foundational role in Oregon Country's provisional government helped to make laws that honored Creator God, and gave our soon-to-be state the bedrock we needed - and desperately need again today!

I've lived in Oregon most of my life and know well how respected Mark Hatfield was. His successes for Oregon were many and important, though not without controversy at times. Representative Gilliam who authored HB2387, worked as a legislative aide for the senator from 1976 to 1981. I'm sure he would like to see the Senator's memory honored in this way. I write, not about Mark Hatfield's tenure as legislator, governor or senator, but about his affiliation with a fraternal order, that by its own admission, shows its source to be Satan. I've researched this fairly extensively and have found no evidence that Senator Hatfield ever renounced his oath of allegiance to this order. Because he represented our state as a United States senator, his long membership in good standing to the Masonic Order likewise binds Oregon and her citizenry to that organization.

Here is some of what I discovered.

First, Albert Pike, foremost spokesman for Freemasonry, said:

"That which we must say to the crowd, is we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine.

If Lucifer were not god, would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and His priests, calumniate Him?

Yes, Lucifer is god, and unfortunately Adonay is also God, for the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods. Darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil, as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.

Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy, and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay, but Lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil." Recorded by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et L'enfant dans La Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, page 588. Cited from 'The question of freemasonry', (2nd edition 1986) by Edward Decker pp 12-14.

Albert Pike was not only a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Lodge member and wrote among other books, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry" which is given to new Masonic initiates. He was also a Confederate Brigadier General in the Civil War and instrumental in founding and later a chief judicial officer in the Ku Klux Klan.

The Luciferian Doctrine that Pike speaks of is Satan's bold, determined declaration of being equal with the Creator and One True Living God of our universe. The "Grand Architect," the "All Seeing Eye" that Masons serve and worship is not Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; rather it is Satan. All the works of good nature and benevolent service that members perform cannot possibly make right the foundation of wickedness the organization is in reality built upon.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

The Bible tells us secret organizations are forbidden.

"Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as 'Lord,' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in Heaven." Matthew 7:21

"They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that." 2 Timothy 3:5

"But I say, don't make any vows! If you say, 'By heaven!' it is a sacred vow because heaven is God's throne. And if you say, 'By earth!' it is a sacred vow because the earth is his footstool. And don't swear, 'By Jerusalem!' for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. Don't even swear, 'By my head!' for you can't turn one hair white or black. Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't. Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.” Matthew 5:34-37

"Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these things are." Ephesians 5:10-13

"Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: 'I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, come out from among them and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you."" 2 Corinthians 6:14-17

"For everything that is hidden or secret will eventually be brought to light and made plain to all. So be sure to pay attention to what you hear. To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But to those who are not listening even what they think they have will be taken away from them." Luke 8:17-18

"The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone's secret life. This is my message. Romans 2:16

Returning to Oregon's early history -- Jason Lee's immediate successor was David Leslie. Rev. Lee was never a member of the Masonic Lodge or any fraternal organization, but David Leslie was. He was chiefly responsible for building Oregon's first Lodge -- in Oregon City. From the first day of Leslie's arrival, the spiritual climate and tide in Oregon took a drastic and ungodly U-turn. Oregon Territorial Governor Joseph Lane, Provisional Governor James Whiteaker and later, Judge Charles H. Carey, Governor Ben Olcott, Governor Walter M. Pierce and many other Oregon politicians were/are avowed Freemasons.

I believe God wants to burn up Oregon's root of wickedness forever, returning us to His pure, lovely holiness which He used Jason Lee to bring to this soil and our people. Two times I've stood on a particular location on our capitol grounds beseeching Yahweh, the Lord God Jehovah to remove the wicked blight of Freemasonry from our soil and infrastructure, and from the lives of our people, so that we may truly serve Him and be a light to our nation and to the world.

I understand the sponsors of this bill sincerely desire to honor Mark Hatfield's accomplishments for Oregon, and to modernize "...Oregon's image in Statuary Hall with...a modern hero." But I believe Jason Lee's work and presence in Oregon represents God's holy light and plans for Oregon, while Senator Hatfield's organizational affiliation symbolizes that which those of us who love the Lord God should absolutely want to see our state permanently delivered from. If we ever hope to point our nation to God, and to pray for America's return to the city on the hill that we once were, Oregon's political and spiritual leaders must take a stand against the ungodly force that battles to keep our state and nation locked in a helpless, ineffective void and darkness.

I urge each Representative, Senator and Committee Member to seek the Lord God's guidance in keeping this bill from moving forward. If HB2387 advances to a full floor vote, please vote NO! Oregon's true legacy and the future of our citizenry is at stake!

Sincerely,

JoAnn Wilson
