As Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as a leading Democratic candidate for the 2024 election, a bizarre scandal from her tenure as California’s Attorney General has resurfaced. During her time in office, one of her top aides, Brandon Kiel, along with others, was caught impersonating police officers under the guise of a mysterious group called the Masonic Fraternal Police Department. This shadowy organization claimed to protect Masonic leaders but was actually a front for illegal activities. The case, involving elaborate police impersonation and connections to secret societies, raises unsettling questions about Harris’ knowledge and possible involvement, all while suggesting a deeper, murkier link between law enforcement and clandestine organizations.
The Strange Story Unfolds
Back in 2015, a bizarre situation unfolded involving Kamala Harris’ former deputy, Brandon Kiel, and his associates. They were caught running a fake police force. This wasn’t just any fake police force—it was supposedly linked to the secretive Freemasons, one of the world’s oldest secret societies reports Muckraker.
Patrick Howley from National File recently shed light on this forgotten scandal. Despite some media coverage at the time, the full story and its connection to Harris have largely been overlooked.
The Fake Police Force
In April 2015, three people, including Brandon Kiel, were arrested in Los Angeles for impersonating police officers. They claimed to be from something called the Masonic Fraternal Police Department (MFPD), a pretend organization they said was there to protect Freemasons. The MFPD had even managed to secure meetings with real law enforcement officials, including a sheriff in Santa Clarita.
The MFPD members, including Kiel and his father-in-law David Henry, who went by “Grandmaster Henry X,” wore uniforms, carried weapons, and drove police-type vehicles. They told people they had authority in 33 states and Mexico. The problem? They had no real police authority and were lying to everyone.
What the Media Missed
While the media reported on these arrests, they didn’t dig deeply into the connections between Harris and the suspects. David Henry, in particular, made some odd claims online. His social media posts hint that he believed the prosecution against them was part of a conspiracy to hurt Harris’ political career.
Henry’s online videos include bizarre and cryptic messages, like one where he thanks various celebrities and suggests his organization was more influential than it seemed. After his arrest, he claimed that powerful figures were out to destroy him and Harris.
Key Questions Raised
Here are some key questions that remain unanswered:
- Why Did They Expect to Meet with Police? Why did Kiel and his group think they could meet with law enforcement officials?
- Why Did the Police Agree to Meet Them? What made real police officers initially take them seriously?
- What Was Their Connection to Harris? Why did Henry believe the MFPD was linked to Kamala Harris and her political career?
- Why the Drastic Charges Reduction? Why were the charges against Kiel significantly reduced after Henry’s sudden death?
- What Was the Purpose of the MFPD? Why did law enforcement never determine the true purpose of the MFPD?
The Mystery Continues
This case is shrouded in mystery, with many details still unclear. While the scandal primarily involves impersonation charges, the connections between Harris, her former staffer, and the secretive MFPD leave many questions unanswered. There’s a lingering sense that this case might point to deeper issues involving secret societies and their influence on California’s law enforcement.
