September 10

History records that Simon Bolivar became president of Peru on the 10th in 1823. What it is generally relegated to the footnotes, which is a bit like throwing something into the attic where it is rarely seen every again, Bolivar was also president of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia. Also tossed into the footnote bin is that Bolivar founded Lodge No. 2 of the Peruvian Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

Not that I’m paranoid or anything like that but other Freemasons are the following United States presidents: James Buchanan, Gerald Ford, James Garfield, Warren Harding, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, James Monroe, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Harry S. Truman, and George Washington
