Freemasons & the Founding of America

[Archangel]

Time to tell my fellow Americans where your country truly came from. America is NOT a Christian nation, America was founded by a group of like-minded individuals, all with a thirst for power, with traditions that stretch back through the ages.

The Knights Templar became the Freemasons.
The Freemasons founded America!

America, is at, heart a pagan nation, and those traditions carry us still.

CHAPTER II

FROM TEMPLARS TO FREEMASONRY

 
Even a quick examination of the Templars' history reveals the major transformations they underwent along the way. They first appear under a Christian façade, but soon enter a darker phase in which un-christian and perverse philosophies and teachings show through. This doesn't happen all at once, however, and many events are responsible for the changes that occurred.

These changes first came about during the Templars' sojourn in the Holy Land: During this phase, they became acquainted with the Cabala and learned the mysterious teachings of various other Jewish sects. The Assassins' mysticism and perverse practices were also incorporated into their system; and the emerging picture reveals that their Christian faith had given way to secret occultist rituals and Black Magic rites. Needless to say, their ideals and mission changed accordingly.

The second cause of their transformation can be explained when we consider that the poor knights of the Templar Order acquired incredible wealth over a relatively short period of time. Given their hopes of attaining mystical powers over the material world through their newly-acquired dark beliefs and practices, it's no surprise that they began to set their sights on much grander goals.

It's important to keep in mind that at that time, mystic and secretive beliefs played an important, even everyday, role in people's lives. Many were convinced that in order to gain wealth or power, one needed the help of dark powers, which could be compelled through Black Magic. Using what they considered "scientific" methods, people were investigating ways of contacting and controlling invisible powers-by means of secret codes, magic signs and formulas, and incantations. Poisons were prepared, the elixir of life was sought in experiments, and alchemists tried to create gold out of lesser metals. The Templars, seeking to rule this world with the help of the invisible one, came to worship Satan and called on him to dominate the powers of darkness.

Many years of investigations by the courts of the King and the Pope documented the Templars' real ideals and proved that they were hiding behind a Christian façade. The order had gathered together the dark world's symbols, traditions and rituals, and founded a system in castles built for that purpose, leading the way for many later secret societies.

 


Templars' Confessions in Masonic Sources

As we saw in the last chapter, after going underground to escape the Inquisition, the Templars infiltrated various other sects and organizations. For their purposes, the masons' lodges were an ideal choice. Very quickly, they infiltrated them, brought them under their own control, adapted and altered them to accommodate the Templars' own philosophy, beliefs, and rituals. Since they had long been trained in the arts of architecture and masonry and had gained expertise in building castles and Gothic cathedrals, it was easy enough for the Templars to infiltrate and control the professional guilds of masons. Published reference works by Masons refer more often to the symbolic features of their merger with the Templars, than to the darker aspects the Masons inherited from them.

As one Turkish Masonic source writes:

The Grand Master's abacus [staff of office] is evidence for the connection between the Templars and Freemasons. This staff is a symbol representing Aaron's rod [mentioned in the Bible-a walking stick that sprouted leaves]. Its head is in the form of a temple, and along length of its body is carved measurements. This staff is a symbol of masonry.

In France as well as in Jerusalem, Templars and Freemasons existed side by side and must have influenced each other's esoteric knowledge. An examination of architecture when the Gothic style came to be adopted reveals that the first European churches built deliberately in the new Gothic style began to be constructed after Jerusalem's conquest by the crusaders.

With the Templars' Grand Master being also the Freemasons', it can be observed that the gradual progress from operational Masonry to speculative Masonry had already begun. The Cistercian monks, dealing with construction planning, had also been members of masons' lodges-an example to the clerical or monastic type of mason;In Paris, where all other professions had their own lodges, the masons shared quarters with the Templars, also showing the close relationship between the two organizations.

The Papal decree of 1312 that liquidated the Templars' order also ended the Masons' right of free passage. Fearing even worse reversals, French Masons fled to Germany where, from then on, Gothic architecture became suddenly dominant. There, the Masons' lodges that received Templars escaping from France experienced the same gradual transformation as the British ones had-from operational to speculative Masonry.

 Over time, the Templars became the Freemasons. Therefore their lodges and their new centers were built to resemble Solomon's Temple, where the Templars had first originated.

[Archangel]

_{The article titled "De Molay and Freemasonry" found on the cover of the Pennsylvania Freemason magazine explains why Jacques de Molay, last Grand Master of the Templars, is still so important for the Masons of today.}

The first handwritten Masonic document of 1390 is titled Regius. Evidentally, from its verse style and the fact that it speaks of Lords and Ladies during lodge meetings, masonry had already become speculative at those dates. It is also interesting that masonry, as old as human history, had no recorded charter preceding the Regius of 1390. Architecture and construction require advanced knowhow. Understandably, those who enjoyed this expertise weren't eager to put their knowledge on paper, where undesirables might obtain it. But another explanation for their having no written rules may be that they existed within an order just as secretive as they were.

 
The article titled "De Molay and Freemasonry" found on the cover of the Pennsylvania Freemason magazine explains why Jacques de Molay, last Grand Master of the Templars, is still so important for the Masons of today.
The Masons survived with their secrets, safe within this order, until the Templars were annihilated and abolished by the Inquisition. Then some of their secrets began to emerge. The Templars' rules were also the Masons' rules...

As stated above, Masons and Templars shared quarters for two hundred years and they must have influenced each other to some extent. Masonic rituals are so similar that they must have been copied from the Templars. The Masons identified themselves with the Templars to a great extent, and what is viewed as original Masonic esotericism (secrecy) can be said to be a fairly important inheritance from the Templars. As stated at the very beginning of this research-and in a nutshell-the starting point of Freemasonry's royal art and initiatic-esoteric line belonged to the Templars.44

Another Turkish Masonic source examines various aspects of the Templar-Mason connection:

Le Forestier was researching the same subject [the link between the Templars and the Freemasons], and his conclusions seem undisputable today. The first document in which the Templars appear to be the forefathers of the Masons is a handwritten one from Strasbourg dated 1760 that makes no secret of their inclination to mystical knowledge. This document includes the basis of the myth: It defines how the order secrets have been handed down from Jacques de Molay to contemporary Freemasonry. According to Le Forestier, the influence of the German Rosicrucians is unquestionable, but "their only purpose was to find a different interpretation by attributing to the masonic tradition and enigma a secretiveness and a deliberate covertness." On the other hand, the continuity of the temple had a certain logic: "This continuity also brought the historical succession that it lacked and the established order that it did not have until then."

As these examples show, the Templars never ceased to exist. Instead, they infiltrated the lodges of the weak and passive Masons, founded the Rosicrucians, organized and strengthened the order, and turned it into an effective tool. The Templars are not a branch or aspect of Masonry. Nor, as the Masons claim, are they "a little influenced by them." Masonry, along with its symbols, history and ideals, has become a den for the Templars, albeit under a different name. The Masons' history being linked to the Temple of Solomon, their basic use of Hiram's name as a symbol and the profession of stonemasonry, their use of mystic symbols from the Cabbala, their adoption of the Templars' organizational structure, their ceremonies, oath, dress and rules of promotion being prepared according to the Templars' rule-all prove that the Templars and Freemasons are one and the same.

As mentioned the Templars encountered no difficulties in penetrating the workers guilds and in Germany, England and Portugal brought these lodges under their control and with this they had found an ideal front and a new, strong organization suitable to be adapted to their purposes.

 

Origins of the Scottish Rite

The Scottish rite of Freemasonry, oldest of the Masonic lodges employed to provide shelter for the Templars, was established in the 14th century by Templars seeking refuge in Scotland. It became an example for the rest to follow. The titles of the Scottish lodges' highest ranks continue to be identical to those given to the Knights Templar centuries before. Baron Karl von Hund, one of the most famous Masons of the 18th century who compiled research on the Templars, called the Scottish lodges a "restoration" of the Templars. According to him, eight prominent Templars fled first to Ireland and thence to Scotland, where they reorganized. The Templars were soon active again in many other countries, but Scotland became their new stronghold, where they based their operational headquarters.

Baron Karl von Hund, the creator of the grade of Masonry known as the Rite of Strict Observance [was responsible for adding the Templar legend to the Craft]. Von Hund's Rite of Strict Observance spread throughout Europe including parts of Switzerland and even as far as Russia. [T]here is no doubt that the Order of the Temple, the highest of the Chivalric Orders in the York Rite, and the Knight Kadosh grade of the Scottish Rite owe a great allegiance to the legend first put forth in Von Hund's Rite of Strict Observance.45

In the following centuries, Masonic Templarism branched out, expanding around the world to become a serious global power, while always remaining true to its Templar ideology:

In 1717 "accepted Masons," working in operative lodges, decided to create for themselves an organization to provide them tolerance and freedom of thought within the religious, political and ideological environment of the 18th century. This organization's signs, traditions and ceremonies were derived from secret societies like Freemasonry, Templars and Rosicrucians. Its philosophy of contemplation was inspired by the idea of free thought, originating in the 17th century and just beginning to spread in England in the 18th.46

As the coming chapters will show, the true ambition hidden in this plan was to weaken and destroy religion, especially Christianity and Islam, by any means, creating a materialistic world order opposed to religion and religious organizations, in line with the Masonic ideals.

For Other Purposes:The Rosicrucians

The Rosicrucians, founded by the Templars as a sister organization to Freemasonry but serving a different purpose, were darker and more secretive. Even today, it cannot be ascertained where and when this organization was founded. It has circulated various documents and legends (such as the suggestion that their order first arose in the Mystery Schools of ancient Egypt), most of which contain little or no truth. The first authentic printed Rosicrucian documents, "Confessio Rosae Crusis" and "Fama Fraternitatis," appeared in Germany in 1614 and 1615, and contain important information about the order. According to these and some later documents, the Rosicrucians are an esoteric-secretive sect combining Egyptian Hermeticism, Gnosticism and Cabalistic lore. According to the German documents, they were founded by a German knight by the name of Christian Rosencreutz-though some experts suggest that his name is either false or merely symbolic.

 

_{According to famous Mason, Baron Karl von Hund, the Scottish branch of Masonry represents the restoration of the Templars A 17th-century Rosicrucian drawing. The triangle, moon, and sun are symbols of the Rosicrucians as well as the Freemasons}

In this sect, the Templars felt more at home than in the Freemasons' lodges. The Templars accepted non-Templars into Masonic lodges, where they didn't practice the dark activities, like sorcery and alchemy, that they did in the Rosicrucian organization.

Viewed from this perspective, Rosicrucian centers were an obvious place for the Templars to obtain the magical powers required to control material world. Therefore, these places became the research centers for the Templars. Interestingly, both the Freemasons and the Rosicrucians are of Templar descent and closely linked. In the Scottish rite, the title of the 18th degree is Rosicrucian Knight:

The Rosy Cross derived from the Red Cross of the Templars. Mirabeau, who as a Freemason and an Illuminatus was in a position to discover many facts about the secret societies of Germany during his stay in the country, definitely asserts that "the Rose Croix Masons of the seventeenth century were only the ancient Order of the Templars secretly perpetuated."47

[Archangel]

Lecouteulx de Canteleu, an expert in the subject, clarifies further:

In France the Knights [Templar] who left the Order, henceforth hidden, and so to speak unknown, formed the Order of the Flaming Star and of the Rose-Croix, which in the fifteenth century spread itself in Bohemia and Silesia. Every Grand officer of these Orders had all his life to wear the Red Cross and to repeat every day the prayer of St. Bernard.48

_{The Rosicrucians and Masons are two secret societies with one common philosophy and purpose, as is reflected in their symbols-rose and cross-within the Masonic set-square. The sword, an indispensable symbol for the Templars, is also an irreplaceable accessory in the Masonic lodges. Since Masonry is the continuation of the Order of Knights Templar, the Templars' teachings derived from Cabalist-Jewish faith and rituals live on in Masonry. The Jewish shofar, or calling horn, is also used in the Masonic lodges.}

Of all the Rosicrucian practitioners, the most famous and fervent was a man who's often been surmised to be the true author of Shakespeare's plays-Sir Francis Bacon, born in England in 1561. For his services to science and philosophy, he was knighted 1st Baron of Verulam and also Viscount of St Albans. He earned a reputation as Father of the Positive sciences for his philosophical and scientific writings, although none of them explains anything about his real identity. He was the Grand Master of the English Templars and in this capacity, the most senior Rosicrucian. He was an undisputed expert in the secret sciences, especially the Cabala, alchemy, and sorcery. The so-called scientific research he undertook had little to do with real science, but much with engaging mystic and supernatural forces to win power over nature. Bacon's New Atlantis; his 1626 utopia of a heaven on earth, is an adaptation of the Templars' ideal state. Bacon recounts the story of an imaginary people on an imaginary island called Bensalem (which means "New Jerusalem")-an entirely scientific society, full of inventions, where the residents control even the winds. There's also the science house he calls Solomon's house, which is the Templars' starting point as well as their destination.

_{A Masonic drawing depicting the symbols of the Knights Templar, together with those of Masons and Rosicrucians. In the box at the bottom, the execution of Jacques de Molay is depicted. An illustration showing all the Masonic symbols together.}

In short, we have three sister organizations, operating under different names-Templars, Masons and Rosicrucians-but with one single common aim. As the next chapter documents, they continued to increase in power and influence and actively tried to alter the face of the Earth to suit their purposes and still continue to do so, using every means at their disposal.

American Masonic History
What Are America's True Roots?*

There is much speculation on the religious nature of the United States of America as it was founded. Many Christians assert that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and, therefore, it is not only our right but our duty to reclaim it for God. But is America a Christian nation in the true sense of the word?
To call anyone or anything "Christian," whether an individual or a nation, certain criteria must be met. If we are speaking of an individual, the Biblical requirements are that he must be born again by the Spirit of God, understanding all that this entails.
If we are speaking of a nation, its purpose must be that of ministry in the name of Jesus Christ alone, without regard to any other gods. Its primary charter must be the Bible, and all who hold positions of authority must be individuals who meet the criteria necessary to call themselves Christians. A true Christian nation would be a theocracy governed by God through His prophets. His law would reign supreme in the hearts and minds of that nation's founders, and all who founded the nation would have to meet the criteria necessary to call themselves Christians. Just as important, the nation would have to have been created in response to a covenant initiated by God with those who founded it.
As a point of information, the Pilgrims did not found the United States; they founded a small colony that eventually got swallowed up by the states and the newly formed federal government.
The belief that the Mayflower Compact was the basis for a Christian nation has caused many to attempt to reestablish what never existed: a Christian nation based upon Biblical precepts and founded upon a covenant relationship with God. What is overlooked is that the Mayflower Compact reaffirmed loyalty to the King of England; its framers never intended to found an independent state.
Ignoring, and even twisting the facts of history, "Christian" dominionists quote some of the founding fathers whose words seem to indicate faith in Jesus Christ. But many quoted were Freemasons who highly regarded Jesus as a man who attained the highest degree of moral enlightenment.
The words of many Freemasons might lead the uninformed to believe that they are true brethren in Christ. An example is this statement from a Masonic publication:
God may have other words for other worlds, but His supreme Word for this world, yesterday, today, forever, is Christ! He is the central Figure of the Bible, its crown, its glory, its glow-point of vision and revelation. Take Him away and its light grows dim. He fulfilled the whole Book, its history, its poetry, its prophecy, its ritual, even as He fulfills our deepest yearning and our highest hope. Ages have come and gone, but He abides-abides because He is real, because he is unexhausted, because He is needed. Little is left today save Christ-Himself smitten and afflicted, bruised of God and wounded-but He is all we need. If we hear Him, follow Him, obey Him, we shall walk together in a new world wherein dwelleth righteousness and love-He is the Word of God (Joseph Fort Newton, "The Great Light in Masonry," Little Masonic Library, Vol. 3, p. 177).
Unless we recognize that the theosophical philosophy of Freemasonry attributes its own definitions to Biblical language, we won't understand the author's meaning. We might welcome him as one of our own.
Only the most naive would not know that many who claim to be Christians do not meet the required criteria. Such is the case with Freemasons. While Freemasonry has an outward show of religious faith, the tenets of Freemasonry preclude any truly born-again believer from belonging.
Space doesn't allow for a full treatise on Freemasonry's religious philosophy, but true Christians will recognize from another statement in the same publication that the Faith is not compatible with Freemasonry:
Into Freemasonry have been poured the irradiations of the mystical schools of antiquity. Particularly is this so in the higher degrees of the Order, such as the Scottish Rite, where undeniable traces of Cabalism, neo-Platonism, Rosicrucianism, and other mystical cults are plainly discernible. I do personally contend that Freemasonry is the direct descendent of the Mysteries, but that our ritual makers of the higher degrees have copied the ancient ceremonies of initiation so far as the knowledge of those ceremonies exists (Henry R. Evans, A History of the York and Scottish Rites of Freemasonry, p. .
Because most Christians today are unaware of the manner in which Christianity was melded with the esoteric philosophies of theosophy and Jewish Cabalism to produce a hybrid mystery religion known as Freemasonry, they offer quotes from many of our founding fathers as evidence that they were Christians. Indeed, some were even clerics. But just as one of today's most famous clerics, Norman Vincent Peale, was a Freemason (prelate of the Grand Encampment of the Knights Templar of the United States), many of the nation's founding fathers were also Freemasons who used peculiar definitions of Biblical language in asserting their beliefs.
This is not to say that they were not noble men. Freemasons pride themselves in their noble attitudes and adherence to strict moral codes. These are not "evil" men in the classical sense. But they are blinded to the true revelation of God's Word, and their religious philosophy embraces all religions as valid. To be a Freemason, one must believe in a supreme being, but he need not be a Christian.
Based upon the evidence of Masonic influences in the establishment of this nation, there is no doubt that the criteria necessary to classify the United States as a Christian nation were not met. An objective study of the Masonic affiliations of the founding fathers must cause Christians to reevaluate their own political philosophy. For if the United States is not a Christian nation then we must choose to whom we will commit "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor" -- our Lord or our country.

20 GREATEST NAMES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

•   John Adams - Spoke favorably of Freemasonry -- never joined
•   Samuel Adams - (Close and principle associate of Hancock, Revere & other Masons
•   Ethan Allen - Mason
•   Edmund Burke - Mason
•   John Claypoole - Mason
•   William Daws - Mason
•   Benjamin Franklin - Mason
•   Nathan Hale - No evidence of Masonic connections
•   John Hancock - Mason
•   Benjamin Harrison - No evidence of Masonic connections
•   Patrick Henry - No evidence of Masonic connections
•   Thomas Jefferson - Deist with some evidence of Masonic connections
•   John Paul Jones - Mason
•   Francis Scott Key - No evidence of Masonic connections
•   Robert Livingston - Mason
•   James Madison - Some evidence of Masonic membership
•   Thomas Paine - Humanist
•   Paul Revere - Mason
•   Colonel Benjamin Tupper - Mason
•   George Washington - Mason
•   Daniel Webster - Some evidence of Masonic connections
Summary: 10 Masons, 3 probable Masons, 1 Humanist, 2 Advocates of Freemasonry, 4 no record of connections.
SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Known Masons (: Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Joseph Hewes, William Hooper, Robert Treat Payne, Richard Stockton, George Walton, William Whipple
Evidence of Membership And/or Affiliations (7): Elbridge Berry, Lyman Hall, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Nelson Jr., John Penn, George Read, Roger Sherman
Summary: 15 of 56 Signers were Freemasons or probable Freemasons.
It's true that this represents only 27% of the total signers. But this 27% included the principle movers of the Revolution, most notably Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, the primary authors of the Declaration. The former was a Freemason, the latter a deist and possible Freemason. If one were to analyze the Declaration, he would see the humanistic influences.
In any event, there is no evidence that even 27% of the signers were true Christians. In considering whether or not this is a Christian nation, it isn't the number of Masons that is as important as is the number of founders overall who were non-believers.
SIGNERS OF THE CONSTITUTION
Known Masons (9): Gunning Bedford, Jr., John Blair, David Brearly, Jacob Broom, Daniel Carrol, John Dickinson, Benjamin Franklin, Rufus King, George Washington
Evidence of Membership And/or Affiliations (13): Abraham Baldwin, William Blount, Elbridge Gerry, Nicholas Gilman, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Lansing, Jr., James Madison, George Mason, George Read, Robert Morris, Roger Sherman, George Wythe
Those Who Later Became Masons (6): William Richardson Davie, Jr., Jonathan Dayton, Dr. James McHenry, John Francis Mercer, William Patterson, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer
Summary: 28 of 40 signers were Freemasons or possible Freemasons based on evidence other than Lodge records.
MASONIC INFLUENCES IN EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY
- Lafayette, French liaison to the Colonies, without whose aid the war could not have been won, was a Freemason.
- The majority of the commanders of the Continental Army were Freemasons and members of "Army Lodges."
- Most of Washington's Generals were Freemasons.
- The Boston Tea Party was planned at the Green Dragon Tavern, also known as the "Freemasons' Arms," and "the Headquarters of the Revolution."
- George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States by Robert Livingston, Grand Master of New York's Masonic Lodge. The Bible on which he took his oath was from his own Masonic lodge.
- The Cornerstone of the Capital building was laid by the Grand Lodge of Maryland.
Even if the initiators of the Revolution had been Christians, the fact remains that the Revolutionary War and the nation's government were structured by the tenets of Freemasonry, not God's Word. It was an unholy alliance at best.
Scripture tells us that God has made one nation of all: the Church. It is the Church that is our "Christian nation," not the social and political institutions of the world.
We can thank our heavenly Father that we enjoy the freedoms that this republic grants us. But as citizens of Heaven, our allegiance is first to our brethren in foreign countries. Otherwise, we may find ourselves killing true Christians for political causes.
We must be vigilant to the dangers of becoming embroiled in political and social causes in the name of Christ. Else we will find ourselves unequally yoked, storing up for ourselves wood, hay, and stubble for the day of judgment.

Freemasons
 
    The Freemasons are often accused of all kinds of things from influencing international affairs to managing interplanetary alliances and treaties.
    The problem with research on the subject of Freemasonry, especially on the Internet, is that most of the time religious beliefs and superstitious ideologies get in the way and DISTORT THE TRUTH.
    I will attempt to lay out the differences between some of these confusions and set the record straight.

 

FREEMASONS CONTROL THE WORLD!!
(Thank You Matt Groening)

    They do not, however, have a secret alliance with satan, at least not to my knowledge. Although the activities they involve themselves with, would by most people's opinions, (if known) classify as Satanic. They are involved (in the higher levels) in magic and a high percentage of those in Black Magic.
(If they don't control the world, then why are they trying to control the "Freemasonry Watch" website, by having it shut down)
Click Here!! - To read the e-mail conversation between the masons and the web-hosting company that was serving Freemasonry-Watch and the person who runs the website. - Click Here!! (Just added 3-24-01)
 

Here I would like to add a comment : Neither this Page nor this website is meant to be "Anti-Masonic". I do not hate the Masons. To the contrary, I have alot of respect for the ingeniousness of their "design". This is what makes it all the more challenging to expose. And challenges are what life is all about. I believe that if the Masons are going to "Push" humanity to it's potential, enough to put "strain" on the spirit of Humanity, by manipulating and influencing world events behind the scenes, then they at least deserve to held to the highest standard possible when it comes to "responsibility" for their actions. This means simply, that they deserve to be exposed and have the full "Light of Day" shined on them. This way, they will truly "HAVE TO" work towards the overall "Good", because if they don't, then it's the "Front Page of the Newspaper" for them!!  Masonry itself is not what is bad, but it's means to an end, it's secretiveness and subversion and alot of it's members all contribute to the overall evil that emits from it as an organization. (All Masons are not bad people)
Except for Edward L. King. He is the owner of a website (Masonic Secrets) that attempts (pathetically) to discredit the anti-masonic point of view. He tries (desperately) to keep people from thinking there is anything wrong with Freemasonry, to the point where he misinforms and even lies about what is going on. He must realize that I have the truth about freemasonry on my website and he MUST try to discredit me at all costs. He has me listed as someone "opposed" to Freemasonry. This is his address for those wishing to write him : King, Edward L. (MASONICINFO-DOM) , P.O. Box 816, Bangor, ME 04402-0816, US

It is these kind of sneaky, underhanded tactics that Masons have always used to try to dissuade the masses from realizing their ultimate goal. That is why they have attacked me and my website at this time. They have already "taken out" all the freeserver sites that host "opposing info", mostly from buying them all out and forcing the websites off. This is an outright and blatent attempt to try to put pressure on me to remove info. they have been trying to get me to remove since the site went up. This will not work and will only backfire on them since I am only going to expose their dirty, rotten, tactics for all to see. If you were opposed to the views of the NRA or the PTA, or the many Woman's rights groups etc., would you expect them to take your "private name" and plaster it on the web in order to try to "disprove" you? Ask yourself this question, all freedom loving Americans...Would you expect the group you voice opposition to, to take your name and try to slander you, personally on their websites???

1st Secret Revealed : Dedicated to Edward L. King (Reptile-at-Large) (who, were it not for this unique individual, this information would never have come to light)
        "While I was working on Venice Beach, I was approached by a young girl, roughly the age of 19. She was a street girl, like a punk, but she had this very nice charm about her. She was a little chubby, and very cheerful. Anyways, she saw my Mason books on the booth and asked about them. We started a conversation and before long she was telling me about her grandfather and how he was a really high-up Mason. She told me that she, herself had escaped from a "drug-house" run by members of the Golden Dawn and Masons out of Pasadena or somewhere. She talked about how she now rescues these youngsters from these places. She described in detail to me, how these young kids were kidnapped or lured there with drugs, and they were kept at these places against their will. They are kept, she said, in a drugged-out state, usually on heroin or speed and deprived of food and nourishment until they agree to do things for more drugs. Then they are taken out and prostituted by these fellows in the Mason and Golden Dawn groups. This was not the most fascinating part, though, because I had heard of several stories of related incidents over the years, through my studies, but what did surprise me was when she told me that her Grandfather kept a book that she once peeked into. It was with his Masonic possessions in a box in the attic. She said it was a "Spiritual Family" chart that showed the "magical children" from secret masonic "spiritual marriages". She told me that she learned that these marriages were often kept secret from the wives of these Masons. (I wonder what they would think if they knew). These masons were apparantly secretly married to women members of the golden dawn etc. who were selected from higher masonic authorities. I have never heard of this before this girl told me and I doubt many others have either, but this incident happened and I don't have any reason not to believe her. We talked about many things and she seemd to have a good handle on reality". "

I have many more secrets to expose, but I don't feel "inclined" at this time to do so, but I'm sure with a little encouragement from people like Mr. Edward L. King Reptile, I'm sure I could sit down and write a few more for you all. If you write him and thank him for making available the secrets he already has, and let him know that you appreciate it, i'm sure he will pester me some more and I will continue to reveal their "dirty little secrets". It should be written as follows : "Dear King Edward, may I apply to you, oh lord, ruler of our kingdom, for permission to learn more masonic secrets and permission to publish those secrets on the internet for millions to view, without who's permission by your highness, I would be left to fend for my own conscience in the vast wilderness of delusional masonic propaganda thou has left for us pitiful servants, oh master" - or something to that effect...well, you get the point..just be nice, remember, reptiles have feelings too, ...or do they?

To understand Freemasonry thoroughly one must study it intensely. It is not an easily understood practice.
It can be simply explained though.
(1) It is Symbolic. There are various symbols associated with Freemasonry and these symbols each have
meanings, histories and explanations.
(2) It operates on various levels or (Degrees) so one level doesn't always know what the level above
it is involved with or knowledgable of.
(3) It operates in Secrecy, which to them is power. The less you and I know about them, the more
powerful they are over us. This gives the Masons motivation to stay secretive. This also is the general cause of so much disinformation from various "religious sources". Because of the various degrees and secrecy combined, there
are alot of Masons that don't know very much about the power and influence of Freemasonry in the world.

The Freemasons are also NOT the MAIN SOURCE of the Powerplayers. It is only a launching pad or pedestal to the next step or (cross)-initiation into other secret societies. In actuality the membership of alot of Freemasonry may be obtained, therefore most obviously the main power would not lie JUST HERE. Membership in several of the KEY secret societies is
more important overall in the GAME of POWER.

Now, with that said, it is also important to note that the ENTIRE SYSTEM and POWER STRUCTURE in the U.S. as well as THE WORLD and all CORPORATIONS are based on
Freemasonry Exclusively!!

"And the rules of the road have been 'lodged', it's only people's games you got to dodge,
but it's all right ma, it's life and life only" - Bob Dylan
 

[Archangel]

(1) The 1st symbol on the list above is the typical "Square and Compass" of Freemasonry with the "G" in the middle. The "Square" is a Geometric Symbol. "His testimony doesn't 'square' with the facts of the case". "When you go to jail they give you 3 'square' meals." More on the number "3" below. "The meeting will be held at the Town 'Square'." If you're not cool, they say you're a "Square". Remember to play "fair and square". " The Square is everywhere!

The Compass represents geometry and building. It is a Mason's tool. It measures by "Degrees". "When you graduate college, you recieve a 'Degree'."
      You are also called an "Alumni" for "Illuminated" or "Illuminati". Well, who do you think set up that University. The Freemasons and Illuminati, of course.
      If you get in their way, "they will put you through the 3rd Degree". The 3rd Degree, by the way was the highest degree in Freemasonry in the Blue Lodge for centuries up until the mid-18th century. Still today, many don't pursue anyhigher than the 3rd degree.
 
(2) The "Shriners" symbol. The Top part is a moon turned sideways. Underneath, the star represents the Sun. Shriners are 33rd Degree Freemasons.
     Note : How many of you saw the new Austin Powers movie "The Spy who Shagged Me" and caught the part with the Shriner wearing the "Fez" Cap that was chasing Austin in the car? Austin even makes a comment about the "Fez"
cap giving him away. He states he cannot reveal the hideout of Dr. Evil unless asked 3 times. And then states he does not like being asked anything 3 times.

(3) The Double-headed Eagle. Represents dominion over the East and the West. The Eagle represents many things in itself, but it is actually taken from the "Phoenix". Look at the Flag of Albania, it is a double-headed Phoenix. The "Phoenix" symbology will be explained elsewhere.

Recently, in the Movie "Eyes Wide Shut", which is about a secret society, when Tom Cruise is
ultimately confronted with the person who is in charge of the ceremony, he is asked to "Take
Off His Clothes" The person who is in charge, that says this to him, is sitting in a peculiar "Throne"
looking chair. This chair has a "Double Headed Eagle" with the World above it. This clearly
represented "World Freemasonry", and was a Masonic Ritual that Cruise had stumbled onto.
 

(4) The Knights Templars "Cross and the Crown" symbol. A frequent Masonic symbol often seen on churches or religious literature. Such as the "Bible Tract Watchtower" magazine of the Jehovah's Witness. Charles Tess Russell was a 32nd Degree Freemason. As well as Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science.
      Her husband was a Freemason. This symbol can be found on the side of USC Medical Center. The Cross represents the "Cross of the Zodiac" or the Seperation of the four seasons. The Crown represents the SUN dying on the cross of the zodiac. See Religion Page for a little more detail.

( The 8th symbol is the "Order of the Eastern Star" also a Masonic Group, although for Women.The Pentagram is a Female Symbol. It represents the Occultation of Venus by the Sun that lays out the 2 dimensional pattern of a Pentagram. More on this Elsewhere.

(10) The 10th symbol is the Rainbow Girls. A Masonic Organization for Women.

    Our government in this country is based entirely on Freemasonry. Take a look at a "Pentagram". What is inside of a pentagram? A Pentagon. Our Military operates from the "Pentagon". Why do you think that is. If you look over Washington D.C. the streets are laid out in a "Pentagram" with the White House
at the base!! Also the streets that outline the Pentagram are all named after the New England colonies, but none of the other streets are. Why is the center of England called "White Hall" and the center of America the "White House"? Does it have to do with the Black/White magic of Egypt? Why are the police cars black and white?

[Archangel]

The Number "3" : The main degrees in Freemasonry are the first 3. This is called the "Blue Lodge" and represented by the 3 steps of the base of the pyramid. Probably the most important aspect of the number 3 is the "Trinity". The Beginning of life, Horus, the rising Sun or the Dawn, the Peak of the Sun,
    12:00 Noon, representing midlife, and the "Set-ting" of the sun , when the Sun dies before it is reborn the following morning. Basically, we have morning, noon and night. The number 3 has been placed by the Freemasons in very important places in our society and culture : "3 strikes and your out" in Baseball.
    When they send you to the slammer you "recieve 3 square meals". I already mentioned "You will be put through the 3rd Degree". The Genie of the lamp grants you "3 wishes". There are "3 branches of government".

 

The Number "13" : There are 13 red and white stripes in the American Flag. There are 13 stars in this flag above, representing the original 13 Colonies. There were 13 original colonies in America. Look on the back of the "Dollar Bill". There are 13 levels in the Pyramid, which incidentally is the "Seal of the
    Illuminati of Bavaria". There are 13 letters in "Annuit Coeptis". On the reverse side of the Seal, there are 13 bars in the Banner shield of the Eagle. The Eagle is holding 13 arrows in it's right claw and there are 13 olive leaves in it's left claw. There are 13 stars on the top above the Eagle's head and there are 13
    letters in "E Plurabus Unum" on the ribbon clentched in the Eagle's jaw.

Everyone knows that Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day, but why, and unlucky for who? The Grand Master of the Knights Templar, (which is another story in itself and can be found here), Jacques de Moley was tried and burned at the stake for being a heretic. This was a secret move by the
    Priory of Sion to get even for betraying them in the trust of their Gold. This persecution actually happened and it occured on Friday March 13, 1314. This was a very unlucky day for Jacques de Moley.

Another not-so-well-known fact is that the reason for the 13 colonies in the beginning is due to there being "13 Degrees" in Freemasonry in the York Rite when the colonies were being established. The reason for the 13 ultimately is the 12 seasons of the Zodiac + the "Sun", the Light of the World, make 13. It was
said that Jesus had 12 helpers or apostles. Jesus, being the "Sun" had 12 Houses to enter into. That particular "Age" or house was Pisces, the fish, hence "Jesus the Fisher".

In this picture above, there are 13 arms uniting around a heart. This was an early Masonic Emblem of the 13 Colonies.



This Harp on the Back of an $8 Colonial Note has 13 Strings.



There are 13 circles and 13 Star-Points on this Colonial Currency designed by Benjamin Franklin.
 

And, Apollo 13, the Moon Landing HOAX of 1969.

Probably the most important, but not as apparent, would be the original 13 moon calender. The original Mayan calander is a 13 moon calender, or 13 month calender. If you take the extra days in all the months after 28, you will have another 28 extra days, surprise, you now have an extra month, and this
corresponds to the 13 month luner cycle each "true" year. I have been told, this is the Serpent or Dragon month. That would tie in the "Serpent race/cult" theories.

The Number "32" : is also very important in Freemasonry. There were only 32 Degrees in the
Scottish Rite,, until Albert Pike introduced the 33rd Degree in 1832. Since then, "33" has become very
important. But, still there are signs of the "32" in our society. For instance water liquifies after "32"
Degrees. Was Fahrenheit a Mason? Probably. Where did we get the idea of "Degrees" to measure heat.
I think it had something to do with Jaques De Moley being burned at the stake in 1314. The "Heat" of
fire would later be measured in degrees. Unless someone can point out that they used the term
"Degrees" to measure heat back in the 1100's and 1200's, which I highly doubt.
 

The Number "33" : The highest degree in Freemasonry, except for several French lodges or Grant Orient lodges, which are said to have 99 or so degrees.
    The "Sun" sets at 33 degrees and Jesus is supposed to have died at 33. What a coincidence. The 33rd degree was added by Albert Pike, a high ranking Mason who established the Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdiction in 1832. He was also the founder of the early KKK in the South.

AA and the 12-step program. Look at the logo for AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and look at the logo for the Grand Lodge of Zurich. A common symbolism in Freemasonry is the "Triangle inside the Circle".

The Torch that is carried in the Olympics is Masonic. It is called the "Torch of Enlightenment". The French Grand Orient Temple Masons gave the U.S. the "Statue of Liberty". She is holding the Masonic "Torch of Enlightenment". Also referred to back in the 1700's by the Illuminati Masons as the "Flaming Torch of Reason". The Torch represents the "Sun" in the sky. A quote by Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati. Dispelling the clouds of superstition with the "flaming torch of Reason". (This is a reference to the silly childish nature of religion and it's moral dogmas and the relation of Jesus Christ to the LITERAL SUN). This may not be a big deal to you, but it IS to the Masons.



The Sun of Reason and the clouds of superstition refer to the Light of the World
the literal Sun of God, that was the center of worship in the ancient world for
thousands of years. The Masons know that Jesus never lived as a man, but was
an interpretation of the Solar religion. There was also the Lunar religion. The
Solar was masculine while the Lunar was feminine. Both of these understandings
were at the center point of religion everywhere in the world. They still are today.
The christians claim that these were Pagan religions and that they were a denial of
the true Savior. Call them what you want to, Pagan or whatever, they were the
ORIGINAL RELIGIONS of the World long before someone named Jesus was
ever supposed to have been around. So does that mean that everyone that lived
before Jesus was doomed no matter what?

Anyways, this is what the Freemasons had to deal with for several hundred years
under the authorities of Europe who wanted to use religion to control people and
dictate their morals, behavior and thought. And as far as the true Savior is
concerned, the "Sun of God", the "Light of the World" is ALL SALVATION
BECAUSE HE HAS RISEN. That makes the Sun of God, the Light of the World,
the RISEN SAVIOUR and that's all there is to it. End of discussion. Goto Religion

This, along with other religious elements like Mushrooms and Volcanos, is the
real secret the Freemasons have against Humanity, believe it or not. Our lack of
knowledge has been used against us by the secret brotherhood for centuries in
America and all over Europe even going back to Egypt. Very simple knowledge
turned into a complicated financial religious scheme has done in cultures and
millions of people worldwide. Spiritually, there is somewhat of a religion in
Masonry at it's roots, which is a study of cultural philosophy, wisdom, higher
learning, mathematics and geometry, but 98% of the Masons today don't have the
slightest clue about any of this unless it has the $$ on it. That is the New Religion.
The "Sun" is the "Eye" of God. The Egyptians knew this. Ra,
pronounced (Ray), from "Sun Ray", was the child, the son in Egyptian folklore.
The Trinity comes from this concept. Osiris, Ra, and Isis. Father, Son and the
Holy Spirit. The Sun God Ra had a staff and was the "great Shephard" too.
    Having pointed that out and the knowledge and insight that comes with it, the
PYRAMID in Egypt, as used by the Freemasons is symbolic of the Volcano and
the Volcano God "Volcanis". The Freemasons built the pyramids in Egypt long
ago. In one of the Degrees in Freemasonry, the symbolism of Hiram Abiff is
acted out as the Grand Master is slain by his comrades before the Temple of
Soloman could be built. According to the authors of "GenIsis" and "GeneSet" it
appears as though the Temple was to be built in dedication to Isis.

    Another element of Freemasonry expressed in it's symbolism is the Phallic and
Goddess aspects. Along with the Sun and the Moon, "Fertility" played a large part
in the early religions. If you look at many old carvings, stones, and statues there
are numerous hints at "Fertility" being a central and dominant theme. This will be
further explained on the Sexual Symbolism page.

The "G" some say stands for "Geometry". It may, however it also stands for the
"Generative" force. The Masons all wore aprins, (look at the early pictures of
Washington in his Masonic Aprin) to cover their Phallus (****). The OBLISK in
Washington D.C. comes from Egyptian Oblisks, which are "Phallic" symbols. The
Oblisk, if you look at it from above and face the White House, directly enters into
and points toward the "OVAL OFFICE". See how easy and fun this is. Why
didn't they teach us this in school? This is the underlying "sexual symbolism" that
is an inherent part of our Conspiracy-based culture. They couldn't make it go
away if they wanted to. It is!!

    The Freemasons are a WORLDWIDE BROTHERHOOD. They do not follow
any particular religion as Freemasonry itself is a religion to it's initiates.

Below are flags for various countries. Each displays a Freemason Symbol.
Some more obvious than others. As you can see Former East Germany had
nothing to hide!






The Flag of the left (Nicaragua), has a 'Triangle within a Circle' and within the
Triangle there is a Sun and a Rainbow in the background.
    The Sun Symbology everywhere represents something to the Freemasons
called the "Dawn of a New Day". Referring to a "New Age" or the entering into a
new "House of the Zodiac".

The Flag on the right (El Salvador) looks almost identical except the main
difference is that instead of a Sun in the Middle there is a "Figian Cap of Liberty".
Also called a "Red Cap" for bloodshed, (Communism), May 1, the founding date
of the Illuminati and the Cap worn by the Grand Orient Temple Masons
(Illuminati) in France when they threw the French Revolution. This "Cap of
Liberty" was depicted on the very earliest American Silver coins.

    The following flags are also Masonic in nature if you understand the symbology.
The "Sun" and the "Moon" are prevalent in many flags and I don't think this is a
coincidence. 1. Algeria  2. China  3. Malaysia  4. Singapore  5. Turkey


Gee, Algeria's flag looks just like the SHRINER's SYMBOL up above, but
turned sideways. Is there anywhere on Earth the Masons have not conquered?
     (Note: This actually might be the original semitic symbol for SATURN. The
    circle being the ring around Saturn. (For more on Saturn and it's role as Satan,
    the most feared planet, Kronos, Click Here.)

As a matter of fact, our 1st flag in America was almost "the all-seeing eye".
In the U.S. National Archives are preserved the two proposed flags for the new
Confederacy. The 1st one has the "all-seeing eye" as a Sun with light eminating from it toward the right and surrounded by seven stars to the left side or behind it.
Looks similar to a moon wrapped around the Sun. The 2nd flag has a bright
illuminated Sun with the "all-seeing eye" in the middle of the Sun and pictured in
the upper left hand corner.

In Buckminster Fuller's Book "Critical Path", he has this to say about the 1st
flag proposed for America, "In our tracing of the now completely invisible power
structures it is important to note that, while the British Empire as a world
government lost the American Revolution, the power structure behind it did not
lose the war. The most visible of the power structure identities was the East India
Company, an entirely private enterprise, whose flag as adopted by Queen
Elizabeth in 1600 happened to have 13 red and white horizontal stripes with a blue
rectangle in it's upper lefthand corner. The blue rectangle bore in red and white the
superimposed crosses of St. Andrew and St. George. When the Boston Tea Party
occured, the colonists dressed as Indians boarded the East India Company's three
ships and threw overboard their entire cargoes of high-tax tea. They also took the
flag from the masthead of the largest of the "East Indiamen", the Dartmouth.
    George Washington took command of the U.S. Continental Army under an elm
tree in Cambridge, Mass. The flag used for that occasion was the East India
Company's flag, which by pure coincidence had the 13 red and white stripes.
Though it was only coincidence, most of those present thought the 13 red and
white stripes did represent the thirteen American colonies--ergo, was very
appropriate--but they complained about the included British flag's superimposed
crosses in the blue rectangle in the top corner. George Washington conferred with
Betsy Ross, after which came the thirteen white, five-pointed stars in the blue field
with the 13 red and white horizontal stripes. While the british government lost the
1776 war, the East India Company's owners who constituted the invisible power
structure behind the British government not only did not lose but moved right into
the new U.S. economy along with the latter's most powerful landowners.
    By pure chance I happened to uncover this popularly unknown episode of
American history. Commissioned in 1970 by the Indian government to design new
airports in Bombay, New Delhi and Madras, I was visiting the grand palace of the
British fortress in Madras, where the English first established themselves in India
in 1600. There I saw a picture of Queen Elizabeth I and the flag of the East India
Company of 1600 A.D., with it's 13 red and white horizontal stripes and it's super-
imposed crosses in the upper corner. What astonished me was that this flag (which
seemed to be the American Flag) was apparantly being used in 1600 A.D., 175 years before the American Revolution. Displayed on the stairway landing wall
together with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth I painted on canvas, the flag was painted on the wall itslef, as was the seal of the East India Company.
    The supreme leaders of the American Revolution were of the southern type.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Both were great landowners with
direct royal grants for their lands, in contradistinction to the relatively meager
individual landholdings of the individual northern Puritan colonists".
