The University of Washington School of Law website explains:
"The origin of the Goddess of Justice goes back to antiquity. She was
referred to as Maat by the ancient Egyptians and was often depicted
carrying a sword with an ostrich feather in her hair to symbolize
truth and justice. The term magistrate is
derived from Maat because she assisted Osiris in the judgment of
the dead by weighing their hearts."[2]
Judges in courts of law are renowned throughout the world for banging
their hammers on the table to call for "order" during court proceedings.
The official website of the "Supreme Council, 33 Degree,
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", reminds us that the famous hammer and
block of Judge's regalia are Masonic. Their page about Masonic symbols
explains that: "...the gavel is an interesting symbol itself. It came
from Masonry."[3]
The new globalised form of justice which is gradually being introduced
by United Nations, for instance through the International Court of Justice[4]
or the International Criminal Court[5], continues the modern
tradition of using ancient Masonic symbols in major international
institutions.
There is no doubt that the obvious Masonic symbolism adopted by the
major institutions of human civilisation is a clear reflection of
Masonic influence on the people in positions of power in the New World
Order. For example, it common-knowledge that senior positions in our
governments,[6] police,[7] legal,[8]
financial,[9] and medical10 institutions, are held by
Freemasons.
