Sonny René Stermole allegedly shot his neighbor in cold blood on June 13th. According to news reports, Mark A. Wright had gone outside to light his barbeque grill for a family meal when he was shot six times in the chest. Mr. Stermole is now being held on first degree murder charges.
Several years ago, Mr. Stermole’s “Bible Defense” website caught my attention and a page about his bizarre claims (not limited to Masonic world domination but including his fantasies about the CIA, Gadhafi, the mafia and more) was created. The links are long since broken but you can see what I’d written earlier here. A news update from the Milwaukee Sentinel references court records repeating much of what appears on that page. Sadly, he is not the first anti-Mason to undertake such acts.
Stermole, 56, lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We’ll provide more information as it becomes available. Many thanks to Bro. David Baylor for his ‘heads-up’ on this.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Wright family.

A fellow Mason (Thanks, Bro. Tom!) noted this past week that longevity in blogging is a rare commodity. This reminded me that my little piece of that lawn was sorely undernourished. It’s not that there’s not a LOT to comment on. There are a good many rants online that cry out for a rejoinder but – and here’s the big BUT – there are just not enough hours in the day.
There are some excellent Masonic blogs out there. There’s also the supermarket-tabloid type which some of us stare at in much the same way that people gather to watch at the scene of an accident. Commenting on the daily stream of sarcastic and/or revisionist posts is hardly worth the effort when there are projects to do for lodge, plans to be made for work and for the family, a REAL life to lead, and so much more. Because of this, though, using a search engine or blog aggregators to get some insight into Freemasonry gives the reader a totally and completely skewed picture of what’s going on in the REAL Freemasonry.
In the first days of the web, anti-Masons quickly exploited free website hosting on places like Tripod and Geocities to build empires of distortion. Today, using free Blog sites, disgruntled expelled (they like the term ‘erased’ as if it means something different) Masons and those who want to be continue to distort in tabloid-like fashion every bit of dirt they can locate. Others – while supposedly maintaining Masonic membership - can’t give up a single opportunity to shout to the rooftops that they’ve got a FAR better way of doing things, that they’ve suffered some major injustice when they didn’t get a second piece of pie at the last lodge supper or that some Mason has succumbed to human failures and shortcomings. A day without dissin’ is like a day without sunshine for a couple of them.
Something you might want to consider: you’ve got to look around at your supermarket to find that copy of the New York Times but those tabloids are all over the place. In the final analysis, which is the more credible?
I’ll try to write less, say more, and do it on a more regular basis. Let’s see how that works.
