"SIMON BOLIVAR" THE LIBERATOR According to historians July Mancini Marques de Villa Urrutia and Americo Carnic elli, the Liberator Bolívar, was initiated into Freemasonry in 1803, the Lodge " Lautaro", operating in Cadiz, Spain, where he also began José de San Martín, Ber nardo O'Higgins, José Miguel Carrera, Juan Martinez de Rosas, Gregory Argomedo, Juan Antonio Rojas, Jose Marra Zapiola, Marra Carlos de Alvear, Bernardo And Mariano Moreno Monteagudo, all heroes of Independence. These three historian s agree that the year of the Liberator Bolivar Masonic initiation was 1803. Anot her historian, Spanish Urrutia says the same date, but argues that the Lodge was not called "Lautaro" but "Rational Knights." In Cadiz, had in 1803, two Masonic lodges: "Lautaro" and "Rational Knights." The confusion comes from the visits h e used to Bolivar to the second of the appointed. La Logia Lautaro, was founded in 1800 by inspiration of Francisco de Miranda, who lived in London, with plans for an expedition to liberate Venezuela. They say they suggested the name in tri bute to the Araucanian leader, who beat the conqueror Valdivia in 1554, in Tucap el (Chile). Although Miranda was never in the Logia Lautaro de Cádiz, because his head was m aking money by the Spanish, from London through friends traveling to the Iberian Peninsula, sent letters and so kept in touch with the Masonic Center. Later, Jo sé de San Martín, founded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, another Logia Lautaro, in memory of the secret society of Cadiz. Then did the same in Santiago de Chile an d Lima, where the Lodges "Lautaro" were a hotbed of patriots in the struggle for independence. THE APPRENTICE In 1801, when Bolivar was only 18 years old, married in Madrid, M aría Teresa del Toro, the niece of Marquez del Toro, his friend from Caracas. Af ter traveling to and other countries, he returned to Venezuela with his w ife to engage in the istration of his rich estates. But her happiness was s hort-lived. Ten months on Venezuelan soil, yellow fever claimed the young life of Maria Tere sa del Toro, plunging Bolivar in desolation. Orphaned and widowed at twenty, he had lost his father, mother and wife, at the mercy of loneliness, he went severa l months traveling through various places in Venezuela, in silent sorrow, until his family managed to convince him to return to Europe. At last one day in 1803, boarded a ship that took him to Cádiz, Spain. Andalusian port was then that the gateway to Europe for its advantageous position to communicate with America and Africa. AIII many foreigners lived and enjoyed an interesting liberal environme nt. A few days after his arrival in Cadiz, the young Bolívar became friends with some intellectuals who frequented the Logia Lautaro, with whom he talked about the ideas of freedom and the need to combat all forms of oppression. Attracted t o this revolutionary concept, decided to enter the Logia Lautaro, where he met o ther Latin Americans, such as José de San Martín and Mariano Moreno, who later w ould also be heroes of Independence. In the Logia Lautaro, "was discussed behind closed doors on the principles of" liberty, equality and fraternity "on the dig nity of man and the possibility of making Republics to the Spanish colonies of A merica. The truth is that the Logia Lautaro, did germinate in the minds of Boliv ar, the idea of ending Spanish rule in Venezuela, from there to sow the seeds of freedom for the rest of South America. Bolivar himself, would say years later, that without the death of his wife, had not made his second trip to Europe and e ntered the Logia Lautaro, where the masonry showed new paths. Commenting on this episode in the life of Bolivar, some historians argue that wi thout the early disappearance of María Teresa del Toro, the impetuous Caracas co uld not have taken the ideas that drove the struggle for independence, living pe

acefully in Caracas or San Mateo . His entry into the Freemasons and his travels took him to see people and things differently. The death of his wife was very e arly on the path of politics, making the car go after Mars instead of following the plowing of Ceres. It started in the masonry, Bolivar traveled to Madrid, whi ch left for in May 1804, accompanied by his friend Fernando Toro, also Ve nezuelan, and a cousin of his deceased wife. Young and rich, frequents the most elegant rooms and befriends the German scientist Alexander Humboldt, another Mas on,€fresh from his scientific journey through the lands of Southern America. In Paris, alternating visits to the literary, worldly and politicians with their at tendance at the Masonic lodges and especially the Lodge "San Alejandro Scottish mother in Scotland, where he met his old teacher and friend, Simon Rodriguez who was a Mason and an enemy of the Spanish monarchy. Simón Rodríguez, left Venezue la in 1797, for having participated in the revolutionary movement in Spain and M aria José Manuel Gual. Then Simon Bolivar was only eleven years, but kept intact the memory of his teacher humanistic, and rebellious. The Masonic bond and i ration for Bolivar always had the revolutionary ideas of Simón Rodríguez, sealed the friendship between teacher and student, with a warm embrace of brotherhood. From then until the return of Bolivar to Venezuela for the route of United Stat es in 1806, they were always together, talking politics, participating in forums , visiting villages and especially refine the idea to liberate Venezuela. THE COMRADE Bolivar, received the rank of "partner", the second in symbolic Free masonry in a French Lodge on November 11, 1805. On the ceremony there is a relia ble witness, kept on file with the Supreme Council 33 ° for the Republic of Vene zuela. Since arriving in Paris, frequented the Lodge Bolívar "San Alejandro Scot tish mother in Scotland, where it accumulated regulatory assistance to be deserv ing of the respective promotion. In one symbolic Freemasonry up grade without having successfully completed the r equirement of attendance and progress in the expertise of the Order. In 1805, Bo livar was a young intelligent and studious, but devoid of influence to make Maso nic degrees without the conditions imposed by the institution. The document the rise of Bolivar to the degree of "companion", was acquired in Paris by the write r Ramon Diaz Sanchez, who before donating it to the Supreme Council 33 °, in Car acas, he had examined by experts in paleography and historians well informed abo ut the Bolivar Masonic activity. This document written in French, translated int o Spanish reads as follows: "To the Glory of the Great Architect of the Universe , etc.., 11, 11th day of the month of the Year 5805 Great Light, fellow workers were open to This by Q:.

" Days later, with his new companion level, Bo livar, accompanied by his friend and teacher Simón Rodríguez, undertook a field trip and study in Italy and Switzerland. In Rome, he made his famous oath of Monte Sagrado, it had crystallized in his mi nd the idea of fighting for the independence of Venezuela. THE MASTER May 1806, when Bolivar was preparing his trip back to Venezuela, he w as promoted to Master Degree in the same lodge "San Alejandro Scottish Mother of

Scotland, together with colleagues Manuel Campos, Antonio Bianchi, Crussaire an d Count Jean Sérurier, according to printed documents preserved in the Bibliothe que Nationale in Paris. This fact was corroborated by historians July Mancini an d the Marquis de Villa Urrutia. The Governing Board made following delivery of t he April 19, 1810, appointed a commission composed of Simón Bolívar, Luis López Méndez and Andrés Bello, to collect from the governments of Great Britain and th e United States strong , especially arms and economic resources. Since re turning to Venezuela in late 1806, after visiting the United States, Bolívar, un til August 1810, had no activity Masonic€except the visit to a Lodge in Philadel phia and had sporadic with some of patriotic societies, Masonic lodges which, without being properly such, they grouped Masonic educated individuals like John Germain Roscius Salias Vicente and Juan Jose Landaeta. When he arrived in London with the computer com missioner Luis López Méndez and first officer of the Secretariat of State, André s Bello, Francisco de Miranda took the fraternal and cordial friend brother Maso n. Miranda, one of the most learned men of his day, bright and exquisite profess ional military man of the world, like Simón Rodríguez, was disowned by his revol utionary ideas by aristocrats Caracas. According to Andrés Bello later told his biographer Amunátegui, the Governing Board in the secret instructions given to t hem, clearly ordered as follows: "Defending Miranda or take advantage of their a ssistance only in a way that is decent to the commission." Miranda, was revoluti onary and was not welcomed by the Board of Governors of Caracas, but Bolivar did not heed the secret order and engaged in close friendship with him. Between Jul y 19 and August 10, 1810, there were the unsuccessful talks with Wellesley Minis ter. England to Spain was an ally in the war against Napoleon, did not want to i nterfere in the complaint that raised the Venezuelan patriots. In late August, B olivar in his spare time visiting the Masonic Lodge "Great American Meeting" Fou nded and directed by Miranda, was confirmed in the sublime Degree of Master, in a special ceremony came a little Masonic rites. At the time of his confirmation Miranda as you used to with all those receiving this honor, it took Bolivar the following oath: "I do not acknowledge by legitimate rulers of my country but to those elected by the free and spontaneous will of the people and the republican system being the most acceptable to the Government of the Americas, I will use a ll means at do my best to it its inhabitants. " This vow he made at the time of Bolivar receive confirmation of Master, is the f ifth vote that required Miranda to the Masons who came to the summit of the symb olism. This version published by the historian Américo Carnicelli, was confirmed by the Mason and prestigious Argentine historian Bartolomé Mitre, in his book o n the organization of the 'Knights Rational. "Miranda, with the great personalit y he had, the Lodge" Great Meeting Americana ", which operated in London, had im posed some ways outside the Masonic ritual. For this reason, some Venezuelan wri ters have tried to question the authenticity of the confirmation Masonic Master, who was Bolivar. Other writers have reached the outburst doubted that Miranda w as a Mason, which besides being a shocking disrespect for the memory of one of t he greatest men who gave America, is a fallacy to cast shadows on the history of Freemasonry Venezuela, which has not only Miranda its maximum mentor, but the F ather of Freemasonry in Latin America. Bolivar, remained in London until Septemb er 25, 1810, when he started back to Venezuela in the sloop "Sapphire." Miranda would do it after 10 October in the ship "Avon". GRADE 33 ° in recent years have seen evidence of the high-ranking Masonic Libert ador Bolívar, which was not limited to grade Master, but he reached the summit from the Scottish, which is 33 °. The Liberato r Bolivar in 1923, speaks continental achieved unquestionable prestige. His name often occupied the front pages of most reputable newspapers in the United State s, Britain and . A person with this well-deserved reputation, it is always worthy of the highest tributes, especially from institutions such as the Freema

sons who worship permanent intellectual and moral values of man. So there is not hing strange that the Scotsman has given the highest philosophical degrees as th e universities do today with the title of "Doctor Honoris Causa", with famous pe ople. In the Masonic Museum in New York, along with many of the Masonic relics o f the heroes of the Independence of America, on display at the apron and collar of the Liberator Bolívar, with the ornaments appropriate to the grade 32, said o ne scholar regard American Mason in a review of the Grand Lodge of New York, who in the turbulent years of the War of Independence, the great chiefs, accumulate d such a sum of powers, it was natural that they confer a single trip to the hig hest degree from the Scottish. The Liberator Bolivar was not only famous militar y hero,€but political special, a great statesman, writer and thinker. He had mor e than enough merit to bring bright and chest collar 32 °. Explains why in the M asonic Museum in New York, are those concerning Masonic relics of the Liberator. But the Masonic historian Venezuela, Celestino B. Romero, went further. After a n exhaustive investigation, he assembled enough evidence to report on a book tha t the Liberator Bolivar was awarded Grade-do 33 °, or the last of the Ancient an d Accepted Scottish Rite. Celestino B. Romero, was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the Republic of Vene zuela and the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council 33 ° for the Repu blic of Venezuela. Scholar and dedicated to the investigation of Masonic history , had access to the archives of the Order where strangers are kept old papers, s ome dating back more than 170 years. In one of his visits to the old file, made a sensational discovery. He found a yellowed document reveals that in 1823, arri ved in Caracas on l:. and P:. Bro. José Cerneau, high official of the Supreme Co uncil of the United States, with the express mission of giving top honors to the Masons who have distinguished themselves in the fight for freedom of Gran Colom bia. The I:. and P:. Bro.

According to this list published in April 1824 in the Bulletin of th e National Archives and corroborated by research conducted by the I:. and P:. Br o. Celestino B. Romero, the Liberator Bolívar, if you obtained the Degree 33 °. HERO When it was July 5, 1811, the day the Congress of the Province of Venezuela signed the Declaration of Independence, Bolivar and Miranda by the Patriotic So ciety, consisting of Masons, pressed for their comments on the undecided emancip ation. At a time when doubt seemed to seize the

Congress, Bolivar, emboldened shouted: "Three hundred years of slavery not enoug h?". On July 11, occurred in Los Teques, the first rebellion of the royalists, t o cries of "Long live the King and Our Lady of the Rosary!". Days later another exploded in Valencia counterrevolutionary coup. El Marqués del Toro was commissi oned to subdue the uprising, but was so bad that General Francisco de Miranda ha d to come to his aid. In late 1811, the island Domingo Monteverde, dark Navy off icer, but fierce and full of hatred for the young republic, organized an army an d enter Carora. On March 26, 1812, and when the counter of the Spanish had taken the body, much of the country shakes a violent earthquake, which is used by the reactionary clergy scared to tell the people who were God's punishment for havi ng rebelled against the authority of the Spanish king. Bolivar was then demonstr ated his Iíder paste, replied: "Heaven has nothing to do with our movement to li berate ourselves from the Spanish ... If you oppose nature,€fight against it and we will obey! ". The events were precipitated and the struggle for independence was generalized throughout the country. The Monteverde realistic moves uncontro llably. The patriot army, undisciplined, uneducated and lacking in arms, under t he command of Miranda, can do little to stop the Spanish offensive. Bolivar is t he head of the important fortress of Puerto Cabello, but betrayal shatters their plans. Monteverde continues to advance and to avoid being cornered by the royal ists, Bolivar, escapes to La Guaira by sea. Miranda, meanwhile, with its 62-year -old in tow, to avoid drowning in blood Monteverde Caracas, after the betrayal o f Mantua Leo House, and after receiving approval from the National Board negotia ting with the royalists capitulation. But the gossip and intrigues of aristocrats, present Miranda as "submissive" in the last week of July 1812. A traitor, Manuel Maria de las Casas, the commander of collaborating with La Guaira Monteverde and lawyer Miguel Peña, Bolivar and e ventually persuaded a group of officers on the "guilt" of the old general of Car acas. Bolivar, Chatillon, and Montilla were commissioned to arrest the generalissimo, who was later handed over to the Spanish. Bolivar board manages to Curacao, wher e he went to Cartagena. Resources and people quickly get to fight in the Magdale na area, up to Tunja. In May 1813, persuaded the government of New Granada for h elp to fight the Spanish in Venezuela. Sign triumphantly in Merida and 15 June i n Trujillo, proclaimed the war to the death, in response to the horrors committe d by the royalists. Fighting with indescribable burning its way to Caracas, dest roying well-armed Spanish troops. That titanic military operation that lasted ni nety days, is known in history with the name "irable Campaign." In Caracas, L ibertador is acclaimed and continues to struggle with success and failure, as th e famous battle of Araure. In 1814, the bloody Boves, under the command of prairie, black and mulatto, madd ened by the thirst for blood, had become a hell for much of the Venezuelan terri tory. A fight Bolivar played in the two battles of San Mateo and the first battl e of Carabobo. In June 1814, Boves triumphs at La Puerta and moves toward Caraca s. Hunted by hordes realistic, Bolívar withdraws the East. In Aragua suffered a setback to the forces of Morales. Arrive Barcelona and with his troops and depleted following Carúpano Cumana, finally em barking towards Cartagena, on September 25, 1814, together with Santiago Mariño. In Tunja, the warm reception she received from Congress, giving it broad powers to the campaign of Santa Fe de Bogota, which was held by the royalists. Expelle d the Spanish from the city of Santa Marta and moves to evict the enemy. Meanwhi le a new military expedition arrived from Spain to Venezuela, increasing the suf ferings of the patriots. Bolivar, Colombia moved to Jamaica, where he wrote the famous "Letter from Jamaica", which makes an accurate analysis of the causes of the defeat and what definitely should be to achieve freedom. In Jamaica, Bolivar , developed a laudable intellectual and organizational activity for the new mili tary campaign in Venezuela. One of its major contributors was Luis Brion, later

iral of Colombia. The British government forced him to leave Jamaica. He then went to Haiti, where he found the fraternal welcome the President Alejandro Pet ion, who helped him return to Venezuela. In 1815, Bolívar arrived in Margarita a nd then in command of an expedition, where Santiago Mariño, was the second in co mmand, left for Carúpano, following then Ocumare de la Costa. Proclaimed the ces sation of the war to the death, the forgiveness of the Spanish to surrender and freedom of black slaves, fulfilling a promise to Petion. He returned to Haiti fo r the second time and returned to Venezuela in January 1817, called by Brion and Arismendi. He reorganized the patriot army in the East and settled in Guyana, w here he became close friends with then-Colonel Antonio José de Sucre. Angostura, now Ciudad Bolivar, was the capital of the Revolutionary Government. From there he wrote to the revolutionaries in Argentina, Peru, New Granada and Jos é Antonio Páez, who had taken control of the prairie. In those days one of the l eaders patriots, General Piar tries to rise against the authority of Bolívar, who, to m aintain discipline of the army found it necessary to order his execution. From G uayana, Bolívar entered the dungeon, defeating the Spanish general Morillo. He o ccupied the valleys of Aragua,€but was again defeated at La Puerta. However, ind efatigable, he returned to Angostura, reorganized the army, appointed his cabine t and even found time to found the newspaper El Correo del Orinoco. " He then co nvened the Congress of Angostura and led his proclamation to the neogranadinos. The British Legion Bolivar's forces increased. Then he crossed the Andes to libe rate Colombia. With weary troops, badly dressed and poorly fed, defeated the Spa nish at the Battle of Boyacá, which all historians as military prowess and strat egy model. That happened on August 7, 1819. The Congress of Colombia, Bolivar gr ateful confirmed as Supreme Commander of the Army and elected him President of t he Republic. On December 17, 1819, his proposal to the union of New Granada and Venezuela, was accepted by Congress. In January 1820, in Bogota Bolivar proclaim ed the creation of Gran Colombia. In December of that same year, Bolívar found i t in the village of Santa Ana, Edo. Trujillo to sign an armistice, Morillo then retired to Spain, leaving General La Torre, as head of the Spanish Army. When Ma racaibo ed the revolution for independence, General La Torre, thought he had broken the armistice signed by Morillo, then decided to redo the war the army o f Bolivar. The inevitable collision occurred on the plains of Carabobo on June 2 4, 1821, at eleven in the morning. Bolivar again demonstrated his great ability as a soldier and organizing genius. With the help of José Antonio Páez prairie a nd the British Legion, defeated Spanish army. With that battle was sealed the independence of Venezuela. After t he liberation of Ecuador, was the problem of Guayaquil. Argentine General Jose d e San Martin, who had liberated Argentina and Chile and Peru, partly dominated, with the title of Protector, wanted the province of Quito is attached to Peru. B olivar had a dream of Gran Colombia, rejected that idea. After unsuccessful dipl omatic negotiations, Bolívar and San Martín decided to meet in Guayaquil. Both f ought for American independence, but they had different views on the organizatio n of the liberated peoples. In Guayaquil, Bolivar demonstrated his great stature as a politician and diplomat. Fraternally, but strong arguments persuaded San M artín on the appropriateness of the provinces of Quito and Guayaquil are part of the Gran Colombia. After the interview in Guayaquil, Bolivar preached the need for a large Assembly of American States, Treaty on two main principles: the utipossidetis and arbitr ation. Happy with the liberation of Panama, spoke of the isthmus as "the great h ighway of the universe." San Martin, had landed in Peru on September 8, 1820 and proclaimed its independe nce on July 28 of that year, receiving in gratitude the title of "Protector", bu t the royalist troops were still intact in the Sierra. San Martin left Peru in S eptember 1822. In 1823, the royalist troops retook Lima. The battle of Junin, Au

gust 6, 1824, who led triumphantly Bolivar, with his famous cavalry charge, prod uced in conjunction with the Battle of Ayacucho (December 9, 1824), the ultimate independence of Peru. After refusing the supreme power that was offered in Peru , Bolívar went to Alto Peru (now Bolivia), whose release proclaimed May 16, 1825 , constituting then independent Republic on 6 August of that year, with the name of Bolivia that Congress gave him in honor of the Liberator, who also conferred the title of Father of the Nation. Bolivar, liberator and founder of Bolivia, p roceeded to its political, drafted its constitution, established school, ed numerous laws and tried to give the appearance of modern nation. But their oblig ations in Peru, he was forced to hand over his friend and presidential aide, the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho, Antonio José de Sucre, who was thus the first presid ent of Bolivia, as the Liberator served as its Founder . Back in Lima, Bolívar w as named President for Life, in 1826. However, days later he left to fight the i nsurgency in Venezuela. The intrigues and disputes between Paez and Santander, t here were serious disturbances. Paez wanted to start the revolt but was content to Bolívar, who entered triumphantly in Caracas in 1827. He returned to Bogota i n 1828 and Ocaña Convention convened in April the following year. But the divisi on continued to advance in the shadows. On September 25, 1828, in Bogotá, a grou p of conspirators attempt on the life of the Liberator,€which was saved from dea th thanks to the courage of Manuela Sáenz. In 1829, the intrigues pushed Peru against Colombia, but the Mariscal Sucre cont rolled the situation in the battle of Tarqui. Libertador health impaired by the hectic life wearing constantly. On April 27, 1830 resigned his command and retir ed to the country. He traveled to Cartagena with the intention of embarking for Europe. In this city on the Colombian coast, received the sad news of the assass ination of Mariscal Sucre, in the mountains of Berruecos, on June 4, 1830. On 10 December his health worsened. He spoke again to the people, asking the union. B ut the evil that he was suffering ended his life on December 17, 1830, at the Fi fth St. Peter of Alexandria, in Santa Marta, Colombia, where he was treated by t he French physician Prosper Reverend and their devoted friends. By an irony of f ate, the house where Bolivar died of Spanish was Joaquin de Mier. The remains of Father Simon Bolivar, recently were repatriated in 1842, and transferred to the National Cemetery on October 28, 1877, during the government of Antonio Guzmán Blanco Mason.
