They taught you Truman dropped two bombs to “save American lives.” They never taught you he was already a high-ranking Freemason who got coronated 33rd Degree Scottish Rite on October 19, 1945, ten weeks after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nagasaki wasn’t just another industrial city. It was the heart of Japanese Christianity. Urakami Cathedral, the largest church in East Asia, sat almost on top of ground zero. Thousands of Japanese Catholics died in one flash. History books skip that part. Truman had been Grand Master of Missouri while still a senator. The Craft was not a hobby. Then, right after the second mushroom cloud, the Supreme Council handed him the 33rd. Standard textbooks mention the shipyards and the estimated invasion casualties. They do not mention the lodge or the cathedral. It raises the question: would they still have pinned that 33rd on him if he hadn’t just vaporized Japan’s largest Christian community?
