Reagan (and frequent visitor to the Bohemian Grove before he was president) took his inaugural oath to presidency facing the Washington Monument, the occult obelisk! That was on January 20, 1981. This picture was taken as President Ronald Reagan took his Inaugural oath on January 20, 1981. Reagan startled the occult world by taking his oath of office from the West Wing of the Capitol, and not the East Wing as all his predecessors had done. When President Reagan decided to become the first U.S. President to take his oath from the West Wing of the Capitol, he faced the obelisk , as you can see. This fact meant that he was sending the strongest possible signal to fellow Illuminists the world over that, after 205 years of pursuing the goal of establishing the New World Order -- the plan was entering its final phase.
