Want to claim importance? State you’re part of a police force going back 3,000 years.
Three founding members of the Masonic Fraternal Police Department – a fake police task force – were arrested in Los Angeles last week, on suspicion of impersonating a police officer.
The official web site, at MasonicFraternalPoliceDepartment.org, makes the following incredulous claims:
“The Masonic Fraternal Organization is the oldest and most respected organization in the “World.” Grand Masters around the various states are facing serious safety concerns for their Jurisdictions and their family members. The first Police Department was created by the “Knights Templar’s” back in 1100 B.C.
The Masonic Fraternal Police Department, (M.F.P.D.) is the Knights Templar’s!
When asked what is the difference between The Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other Police Departments the answer is simple for us. We were here first! We are born into this Organization our bloodlines go deeper then an application. This is more then a job it is an obligation.”
The fun part is that the dot .com remains unregistered; the apparent goal of the domain’s registrant(s) was to imply importance and validity, via the use of a dot .ORG domain.
In the past, PIR, the domain registry managing dot .ORG domains, indicated through a Facebook campaign that “In .org people do trust.” Unfortunately, a domain that ends in dot .ORG does not by itself guarantee such certification of any kind.
