The Tower and the Tempest

Is the Newport Tower a secret portal through which the Antichrist will appear? Probably not, despite what some religious fanatics and occultists may believe. But the Tower has, intriguingly, been at the center of the occult world for many centuries. And the Tower–like other “pagan” conceptions such as the Bunker Hill Monument, the Georgia Guidestones and the layout of Washington, DC–has long been associated with Freemasonry and the Knights Templar. These associations may or may not be fair. But they are real. And they are fueling a virulent rise in anti-Masonic sentiment in modern America.
