This is
likely to be as interesting to freemasons as to those non-masons intrigued
by what might go on behind the lodge door. Certainly the twentiy-first
century attempt to turn everyone away from politics and the message of
Jesus Christ has been mightily successful. This tract looks at the
Eighteenth century origins of this ambitious project. The idea was and is
to make democratic government, through masonic infiltration, so unworkable
as to be rejected by the people. In exchange we get a global state
apparatus run by giant media corporations, security and telecommunications
companies.
Not least
because of the masonic blood-oaths, freemasonry is absolutely NOT
compatible with Christianity. The uninspiring lead given in today's
mason-embracing Church of England and Opus Dei dominated Catholic church
should make us, and them, turn to the opening chapters of Revelation which
spell out how established church institutions are going astray, with
unbelieving clergy doing their worst and leading the flock over the cliff.
Which is where the man-made religion comes in.
The
exasperating mess the British church and democracy are in begins to make
sense, and further light is shed on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's
"powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge". Maybe
you haven't seen the latest addition to the Bilderberg website maam? [TG]
"[in] the
Mason Lodges there the most ignorant of all the ignorant, gaping for
instruction from our deputies" [Weishaupt]
"No man is
fit for our Order who is not a Brutus or a Catiline, and is not ready to go
every length. - Tell me how you like this?" [Weishaupt]
"If a writer
publishes any thing that attracts notice, and is in itself just, but does
not accord with our plan, we must endeavour to win him over, or decry him."
[Weishaupt]
We cannot
improve the world without improving women, who have such a mighty infiuence
on the men. But how shall we get hold of them? ...We must begin with grown
girls ... It may immediately be a very pretty Society, under the management
of Ptolemy's wife, but really under his management. ['Minos']
'He employs
the Christian Religion, which he thinks a falsehood, and which he is
afterwards to explode, as the mean for inviting Christians of every
denomination, and gradually cajoling them, by clearing up their Christian
doubts in succession, till he lands them in Deism;' [Robison]
'such are the
characters of those who forget God.' [Robison]
'the world
has been darkened by cheats, who have misrepresented God to mankind, have
filled us with vain terrors, and have then quieted our fears by fines, and
sacrifices, and mortifications, and services,' [Robison]
"All things
work together for good to them that love God" [Romans 8:28 KJV]

to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them"

BEING AT a friend's house in the country
during some part of the summer 1795, I there saw a volume of a German
periodical work, called Religions Begebenheiten, i.e. Religious
Occurrences; in which there was an account of the various schisms in the
Fraternity of Free Masons, with frequent allusions to the origin and history
of that celebrated association. This account interested me a good deal,
because, in my early life, I had taken some part in the occupations (shall I
call them) of Free Masonry; and having chiefly frequented the Lodges on the
Continent, I had learned many doctrines, and seen many ceremonials, which
have no place in the simple system of Free Masonry which obtains in this
country.
I had also remarked, that the whole was much
more the object of reflection and thought than I could remember it to have
been among my acquaintances at home. There, I had seen a Mason Lodge
considered merely as a pretext for passing an hour or two in a fort of
decent conviviality, not altogether void of some rational occupation. I had
sometimes heard of differences of doctrines or of ceremonies, but in terms
which marked them as mere frivolities. But, on the Continent, I found them
matters of serious concern and debate.
Such too is the contagion of example, that I
could not hinder myself from thinking one opinion better founded, or one
Ritual more apposite and significant, than another; and I even felt
something like an anxiety for its being adopted, and a zeal for making it a
general practice. I had been initiated in a very splendid Lodge at Liege, of
which the Prince Bishop, his Trefonciers, and the chief Noblesse of the
State, were members. I visited the French Lodges at Valenciennes, at
Brussels, at Aix-la-Chapelle, at Berlin, and Koningsberg; and I picked up
some printed discourses delivered by the Brother-orators of the Lodges.
At St. Petersburgh I connected myself with
the English Lodge, and occasionally visited the German and Russian Lodges
held there. I found myself received with particular respect as a Scotch
Mason, and as an Eleve of the Lodge de ln Parfaite Intelligence at
Liege. I was importuned by persons of the first rank to pursue my masonic
career through many degrees unknown in this country.
But all the splendour and elegance that I saw
could not conceal a frivolity in every part. It appeared a baseless fabric,
and I could not think of engaging in an occupation which would consume much
time, cost me a good deal of money, and might perhaps excite in me some of
that fanaticism, or, at least, enthusiasm that I saw in others, and
perceived to be void of any rational support.
I therefore remained in the English Lodge,
contented with the rank of Scotch Master, which was in a manner forced on me
in a private Lodge of French Masons, but is not given in the Engtish Lodge.
My masonic rank admitted me to a very elegant entertainment in the female
Loge de la Fidelite, where every ceremonial was composed in the highest
degree of elegance, and every thing conducted with the most delicate respect
for our fair sisters, and the old song of brotherly love was chanted in the
most refined strain of sentiment. I do not suppose that the Parisian Free
Masonry of forty-five degrees could give me more entertainment.
I had profited so much by it, that I had the
honour of being appointed the Brother-orator. In this office I gave such
satisfaction, that a worthy Brother sent me at midnight a box, which he
committed to my care, as a person far advanced in masonic science, zealously
attached to the order, and therefore a fit depositary of important writings.
I learned next day that this gentleman had found it convenient to leave the
empire in a hurry, but taking with him the funds of an establishment of
which her Imperial Majesty had made him the manager. I was desired to keep
these writings till he should see me again. I obeyed.
About ten years afterward I saw the gentleman
on the street in Edinburgh, conversing with a foreigner. As I passed by him,
I saluted him softly in the Russian language, but without stopping, or even
looking him in the face. He coloured, but made no return: I endeavoured in
vain to meet with him, intending to make a proper return for much civility
and kindness which I had received from him in his own country.
I now considered the box as accessible to
myself, and opened it. I found it to contain all the degrees of the
Parfait Macon Ecossois, with the Rituals, Catechisms, and Instructions,
and also four other degrees of Free Masonry, as cultivated in the Parisian
Lodges. I have kept them with all care, and mean to give them to some
respectable Lodge. But as I am bound by no engagement of any kind, I hold
myself as at liberty to make such use of them as may be serviceable to the
public, without enabling any uninitiated person to enter the Lodges of these
degrees.
This acquisition might have roused my former
relish for Masonry, had it been merely dormant; but, after so long
separation from the Loge de Ia Fidelite, the masonic spirit had
evaporated.
Some curiosity, however, remained, and some
wish to trace this plastic mystery to the pit from which the clay had been
dug; which has been moulded into so many different shapes, "some to honor,
and some to dishonor." But my opportunities were now gone. I had given away
(when in Russia) my volumes of discourses, and some far-fetched and
gratuitous histories, and nothing remained but the pitiful work of Anderson,
and the Maconnerie Adonhiramique devoilee, which are in every one's
hands.
My curiosity was strongly roused by the
accounts given in the Religions Begebenheiten. There I saw quotations
without number; systems and schisms of which I had never heard; but what
particularly struck me, was a zeal and fanaticism about what I thought
trifles, which astonished me. Men of rank and fortune, and engaged in
serious and honorable public employments, not only frequenting the Lodges of
the cities where they resided, but journeying from one end of Germany or
France to the other, to visit new Lodges, or to learn new secrets or new
doctrines. I saw conventions held at Wismar, at Wisbad, at Kohlo; at
Brunswick, and at Willemsbad, consisting of some hundreds of persons of
respectable stations. I saw adventurers coming to a city, professing some
new secret, and in a few days forming new Lodges, and instructing in a
troublesome and expensive manner hundreds of brethren.
German Masonry appeared a very serious
concern, and to be implicated with other subjects with which I had never
suspected it to have any connection. I saw it much connected with many
occurrences and schisms in the Christian church; I saw that the Jesuits had
several times interfered in it; and that most of the exceptionable
innovations and dissentions had arisen about the time that the order of
Loyola was suppressed; so that it should seem, that these intriguing
brethren had attempted to maintain their influence by the help of Free
Masonry.
I saw it much disturbed by the mystical whims
of J. Behmen and Swedenborg-by the fanatical and knavish doctrines of the
modern Rosycrucians-by Magicians-Magnetisers-Exorcists, &c. And I observed
that these different sects reprobated each other, as not only maintaining
erroneous opinions, but even inculcating opinions which were contrary to the
established religions of Germany, and contrary to the principles of the
civil establishments.
At the same time they charged each other with
mistakes and corruptions, both in doctrine and in practice; and particularly
with falsification of the first principles of Free Masonry, and with
ignorance of its origin and its history; and they supported these charges by
authorities from many different books which were unknown to me.
My curiosity was now greatly excited. I got
from a much respected friend many of the preceding volumes of the
Religions Begebenheiten, in hopes of much information from the patient
industry of German erudition. This opened a new and very interesting scene;
I was frequently sent back to England, from whence all agreed that Free
Masonry had been imported into Germany. I was frequently led into France and
into Italy.
There, and more remarkably in France, I found
that the Lodges had become the haunts of many projectors and fanatics, both
in science, in religion, and in politics, who had availed themselves of the
secrecy and the freedom of speech maintained in these meetings, to broach
their particular whims, or suspicious doctrines, which, if published to the
world in the usual manner, would have exposed the authors to ridicule, or to
censure.
These projectors had contrived to tag their
peculiar nostrums to the mummery of Masonry, and were even allowed to twist
the masonic emblems and ceremonies to their purpose; so that in their hands
Free Masonry became a thing totally unlike, and almost in direct opposition
to the system (if it may get such a name) imported from England; and some
Lodges had become schools of irreligion and licentiousness.
No nation in modern times has so particularly
turned its attention to the cultivation of every thing that is refined or
ornamental as France, and it has long been the resort of all who hunt after
entertainment in its most refined form; the French have come to consider
themselves as the instructors of the world in every thing that ornaments
life, and feeling themselves received as such, they have formed their
manners accordingly-full of the most condescending complaisance to all
who acknowledge their superiority, lighted, in a high degree, with this
office, they have become zealous missionaries of refinement in every
department of human pursuit, and have reduced their apostolic employment to
a system, which they prosecute with ardour and delight.
This is not groundless declamation, but sober
historical truth. It was the professed aim (and it was a magnificent and
wise aim) of the great Colbert, to make the court of Louis XIV, the fountain
of human refinement' and Paris the Athens of Europe.
Taking Back Your Power
by Allen Aslan Heart
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Stop playing THEIR game. Take back
your power. Stop paying taxes that are not legal or lawful. Stop paying
bills you don't really owe. Stop using THEIR money. There ARE ways if you
open your mind and look for the gaps in their fences that keep the sheeple
in their pasture. Are you chattel or a real person? You are the one who
makes that choice.
