The Truth About Ben Franklin

Back in the day I remember listening to my teachers talk about one of our founding fathers named Ben Franklin, and how he was such an influential man to the United States of America. I also remember watching documentaries in high school about how he discovered and invented many things like the bifocals, the discovery of electricity, the lightning rod, franklin stove, mapping the gulf stream, and even flippers for swimming[1].  There were even Disney movies like National Treasure that were based on Franklin and how much of an amazing person he was.  However it wasn’t until I took this class and did some reading where I found out that he wasn’t the historic saint of our country like many, like I did, perceive him to be.

When I picture Benjamin Franklin I think of a chubby looking man with goofy glasses with long grey hair, getting zapped by lightning.  When reading “Ben Franklin- Founding Father, Man Whore, M.I.L.F. Chaser, and Possible Serial Killer?!?!” from Crystal Moore’s blog, I find that our founding father was kind of a horny male.  Quotes like, “in the dark all cats are grey” and that since all animals walk upright an old woman gets wrinkles because all the fluids go down to the genitals to keep them nice and plump.  While we were fighting during the American Revolution, he was also chosen to travel to France to receive allies.  The main reason he was chosen was because of his flirtatious ways with women [2].

Another fact that I found startling was that he was a member of the hellfire club.  The hellfire club was a secret satanic society who performed black masses and sexual orgies.  The club was found beneath a church in England.  Members of the club would have sex with prostitutes and do sacrifices to Satan [3].  In more recent time, in 1998 Benjamin Franklin’s old house in France was being remodeled, and workers dug up 10 bodies, which consisted of four adults and six children.  Researchers claim that the bones were around 200 years old and that they show signs of being experimented on and mutilated.  Some of the bones were sawn in half, and a skull was found to have several holes that were from a drill.  Historians believe that Franklin worked with a friend named Dr. Hewson who founded British surgery and practiced on these “patients” for satanic purposes.  [4]

After reading and researching I find it hard to look at Benjamin Franklin the same.  Even though he was one of our founding fathers and introduced many beneficial elements to the United States, he has many strange and disturbing historical facts about him, that almost seem hidden from people if you do not actually look out and research them.  If it was not for this class I would have never knew these facts and would continue you to see Franklin as a Saint, like many today still do.
