Mr. Bernard's testimony had a deep impact on me so naturally I spent some time searching for more background info on him and yesterday I came across a statement where someone claimed he is a Freemason -

"Found his LinkedIn profile, dude is an obvious Freemason pic related He is from my area, I hear it in the accent. The .:. behind the first letter of a name is a freemasonic symbol practiced out here."

From here: Link to archived version of quote

At first I was very sceptical but it seems that guy might be on to something -

Masonic abbreviations

To be honest I am somewhat confused now and don't really know what to think. I don't have a Linkedin so I can't view his full profile and I didn't manage to find anything to debunk or verify that claim.

I was 100% convinced his testimony is real especially because of the obvious emotional distress he was going through when talking about the sacrifce they asked him to do.

In addition - didn't he say something in that very video along the lines of "I can still see people being manipulated around me"...? Well, what if this testimony is a means of manipulating us - albeit in a different direction than the usual? Guy as smart as him would have known this video is going viral sooner or later, right?

Any input is highly appreciated! Btw English is not my native language so I apologize for any grammar/spelling errors.
