As The World Goes To
Hell...
Freemasonry Is The Common
Denominator
By Henry Makow, Ph.D
10-1-2
In the past, I ascribed humanity's woes to a conspiracy of inbred British
aristocrats, their American toadies, Zionists and central bankers. So far I have
overlooked the most important ingredient, the "Freemasons" the world's largest
secret society with five million members (including three million Americans.)
Only their inner circles are aware that the "Craft" is in fact devoted to satanism.
The conspirators all belong to it. George W. Bush is a member. As a student at
Yale Bush joined its "Skull and Bones" chapter and referred to it in August
2000 in these terms: "My heritage is part of who I am."
Dick Cheney and Colin Powell are also high level Freemasons. So is Al Gore
and Ariel Sharon. Past Presidents FDR, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan and
Lyndon Johnson were also members. So are Henry Kissinger, Allen Greenspan
and World Bank President James Wolfensohn. In fact devil worship seems to
be a prerequisite for power and success today.
Freemasonry has been blamed for many cases of child sexual abuse and ritual
murder. (Search "ritual and sexual abuse + freemasonry" in Google.) There are
at least three books out about people who claim to have been brainwashed and
sexually exploited as children by certain members of our power elite. "The
Franklin Cover-Up" (get the 2nd. Edition, 1996) by John W. DeCamp describes

2. a homosexual and satanic child sex ring based in Omaha, which serviced
members of the Reagan administration. In "Trans-formation of America,"
(1995) Cathy O'Brien describes her experiences as a mind-controlled sex slave
with members of the current and past administrations.
It gets more bizarre. In addition to oil, the war against Iraq is part of a long-term
plan to establish the rule of satan on earth. The New World Order is
Masonic in character. Sadaam Hussein (and Islam in general) represent an
obstacle to the Masonic plan to rebuild Solomon's Temple on the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem. This will be the seat of a new world religion subtly
devoted to Lucifer.
The war is the latest in a step-by-step plan to enslave humanity. For example,
the United Nations' true character is revealed by the fact that the only religious
chapel at its headquarters is run by a satanic cult, the "Lucis Trust." The name
was changed from Lucifer Trust to make the nature of the organization less
conspicuous. For more background, see an online article by Lyndon LaRouche
entitled "The Real History of Satanism."
(http://www.econcrisis.homestead.com/The_REAL_History_of_Satanism.html)
The Satanists disguise their agenda in warm and fuzzy buzzwords like
"economic justice" and "international peace." They are drafting a new world
constitution called the "Earth Charter" which will have the authority of holy
writ. Later this year, the Earth Charter will be presented to the United Nations
in a pantheistic 21st Century replica of the Ark of the Covenant. Stephen
Rockefeller and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund is behind this initiative.
According to Joseph Farah, "these are dangerous and diabolical folks making
long-term plans to seize even more power and destroy any vestige of freedom
left in the world." (Rockefeller-sponsored Socialism, World Net Daily, Sept.
24)
I don't have the heart (or stomach) to explore the philosophy of Freemasonry in
detail. I refer you to an excellent web site that contains articles and a list of
over 50 books. It is called "Freemason Watch"
(http://www.freemasonwatch.freepress-freespeech.com/index.html)
I only want to point out the essential difference between a true religion like
Islam or Christianity and a naturalistic cult like Freemasonry.
A true religion believes that God is the ultimate Reality (Truth, Love) and that
man has the Spirit of God within. "God is a spirit and we worship him in spirit
and truth." (John 4:24) Liberation is defined as overcoming the limitations of
ego. This is what it means to be "born again." Jesus said, "And you shall know

3. the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32).
Collectively mankind is in a process of transformation, of becoming more God-like
or "Real." By loving God and obeying our "higher" self, we outgrow our
baser instincts. "Be ye therefore perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect,"
Jesus said. (Mathew 5:48)
Civilized life and culture involve a respectful debate about how to find
happiness. I believe everyone must approach God individually, and therefore
must be free to choose his own path.
In contrast, Freemasonry is a pagan cult that pretends to embrace all religions
in order to negate them all. It says there is no God but man. Man not God is the
measure of all things. Our lust for more power, money, and sex is unleashed.
The lower instincts become the higher.
For the last century or more, the world has been subject to a subtle process of
Masonic indoctrination. Religion is portrayed as irrelevant and "liberation" is
defined as being able to have sex with anyone and to talk about bodily
functions in public. Have you noticed how much toilet humor and stupid sexual
jokes permeate prime time? This is the slippery slope of consciousness.
Recently a reader emailed to object to my "religious fundamentalism" saying
that God could not exist or else He would not permit so much suffering.
We are God's agents. We embody His spirit to create heaven on earth. God
can't do it without us, and He certainly can't do it if we succumb to satan.
Modern history is understandable only in terms of the ongoing campaign by the
Illuminati (which infiltrated Freemasonry in 1781) to destroy Western
Civilization and enslave mankind. Nesta Webster's book "World Revolution"
(1921) and John Daniel's "Scarlet and the Beast" (Vol. 1, 1994) both describe
this process.
Communism has been the main instrument of the Illuminati. (The Communist
anniversary May 1st refers to the date the Illuminati was founded in 1776.) The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion was probably an Illuminati document disguised
as a Jewish one. Certainly, Jews like Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky dominated
Communism but they were Freemasons first. They did not represent the Jewish
people.
John Daniel believes that Bolshevik Russia was a French Orient Masonic state.

4. He says the slaughter of millions of Russians by the CHEKA was Masonic
ritual murder. He points to "the numerous Masonic symbols carved into the
flesh of victims' heads, faces, necks and torsos." (495) The assassination of
Czar Nicholas II and his family was also a Masonic ritual murder (512).
We don't hear much about the "holocaust" of educated Russians between 1918
and 1922. The Bolshevik Freemasons slaughtered 3,200,000 people. Husbands,
fathers and brothers were compelled to watch as their wives, daughters and
sisters were brutally raped. (497)
Published in "The Scotsman" on November 7, 1923 are the following counts of
the slaughtered to bring about the Craft's "dictatorship of the proletariat":
"28 bishops, 1219 priests, 6000 professors and teachers, 9000 doctors, 54,000
officers, 260,000 soldiers, 70,000 policemen, 12,950 property owners, 535,250
members of the intellectual and liberal professions, 193,290 workmen, 618,000
peasants." (495)
John Daniel believes that the Second World War was essentially a civil war
between two branches of Freemasonry. The English Grand Lodge built up
Adolph Hitler in order to destroy Communist Russia, French Grand Orient
Freemasonry's creation. After Hitler double-crossed his sponsors and made a
pact with Stalin (threatening England), power swung from (English Grand
Lodge Mason) Neville Chamberlain to (French Orient Mason) Winston
Churchill. Nevertheless the English branch and its Wall Street satrap continued
to back Hitler and later helped Nazis war criminals escape.
G.K. Chesterton said the study of history should be a study of power elites.
Instead historians obscure and deny the truth. The more I read, the more I am
convinced that the function of the news media, the arts, education and
entertainment is to deceive and make us stupid. While we are numbed and
distracted, our leaders carry out their orders under occult discipline (or
blackmail.) As human life becomes degraded, it seems less worth saving. The
devil is afoot and all-powerful. As long as he uses deceit, good people seem
helpless to resist.
Three things give me hope. 1) The Constitution gives us the right to own guns.
2) The Internet. (Tyranny has never had to face instant communication.) 3) Our
ingrained habit of freedom.
We must expose the satanists to the light of day.

Freemasonry, an Anchor of Morality in a Sea of Moral Relativism
By R. Theron Dunn, PhD, Senior Deacon
Evergreen Lodge #259, F&AM
Riverside, Ca
There are few institutions in the world more misunderstood that that of the
Freemasons. There is much incorrect, deliberately misleading and false
information posted about the fellowship of Freemasons. Lets take a few
moments here to discuss what Freemasonry actually is and what it is not, what
it stands for, and what it does NOT stand for.
First of all, Freemasonry is an ancient and venerable institution, with a stated
purpose of Brotherly Love, Relief, Charity, with the basic tenets of Faith,
Hope, Charity, temperance, fortitude, justice and truth. Freemasonry is a
fraternity of religious men, dedicated to the goal of making good men into
better men.
Freemasonry teaches men that there are no moral relatives. In a culture that
offers classes in moral relativism, Freemasonry stands as an almost lone beacon
in worldwide culture as a fraternity dedicated to the promulgation of morality.
Freemasonry teaches its members moral lessons through the use of allegorical
tales (as the bible does, and as did the Christ), using symbols to illustrate the
lessons.
There are many things that Freemasonry is NOT. Freemasonry is not a religion,
or a substitute thereto, nor is it a secret society, or not part of a secret world
government. The truth is that many famous men have been Masons, among
them George Washington, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein,
nine signers of the Declaration of Independence and thirteen signers of the

6. Constitution of the United States.
Freemasonry is not a religion, or a substitute for the religious duty of honoring
God and his works and praising Him in fellowship. Freemasonry is open to all
MEN of ALL Faiths who profess a belief in God and life beyond this one,
regardless of race. Freemasonry claims as its sons Christians of all brands,
Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, and Hindus.
All lodges open with a prayer to God, and close with a prayer to God. God is
acknowledged in all our undertakings. In fact, when a candidate is initiated, he
is told that "? no man should ever enter upon any great or important
undertaking without first invoking the blessing of God?"
Freemasonry is not a secret world government. Freemasons are janitors and
presidents, ditch diggers and lawyers, funeral directors and doctors, we are your
brothers, your uncles, your fathers and grandfathers. Freemasons are ordinary,
good men, men who believe in the word of God, and seek to make themselves
more serviceable to their God, their country, their neighbors, their families and
themselves.
It is ridiculous in the extreme, however, to infer that the world is ruled by
Freemasons because some famous politicians and powerful men have been
Freemasons. This belief is the mental equivalent of saying that since all Heroin
users drink milk that milk leads to Heroin. This type of mental self abuse is not
intellectually honest or demonstrative of mental excellence. Great men
CHOOSE to be Freemasons because Freemasons are honorable men, God
fearing men, men who are dedicated to moral honesty and integrity.
So, so, we have discussed what Freemasonry is, let us now turn our attention to
what it is not. I will start with an admission the Freemasonry has erred over the
last fifty years in not responding to those few critics that exist, ignoring them as
irrelevant. By not responding to our critics and ignoring them, we have allowed
their voices to be the only voices heard on the subject, and therefore harmed
ourselves.
By being secretive, and withdrawing from the community of discussion about
the fraternity and what we stand for, the moral stand we take, the moral
teachings of the fraternity, and the services we provide to the community, we
have inadvertently caused this paranoid concern. Masonry requires that a man
come to the fraternity of his own free will and accord, and we do not solicit
members.

7. Since we do not solicit members, some have assumed us to be a secret society,
so lets examine what a secret society is and why Freemasonry is NOT a secret
society. Freemasons identify themselves by the symbol of the Square and
Compass, the square of virtue and the compass which is used to symbolically
circumscribe our desires to keep our passions within due bounds toward all of
society.
We wear this symbol on our suits, on our vehicles, on our homes. We are proud
to be Freemasons. Our lodges are listed in the phone books in all towns across
America under Masonic Lodge, and in the classified directories under
Fraternities. Our lodge buildings are marked clearly and distinctly with the
square and compass, and can also be seen in nearly every city in the world.
The only exception to this is in dictatorial countries. For instance, in Germany
during the Nazi reign, Hitler suppressed Freemasons, and as a result, we hid,
using the Blue Forget Me Not flower to show ourselves to other Freemasons.
After the fall of the communists in Russia, thousands of Freemasons came out
of hiding to rejoin the worldwide fraternity. Masonry is NOT a secret society.
Freemasons do have secrets, but not the ones you would be led to believe. The
secrets are passwords, signs, tokens by which one brother mason may know
another and show himself to be a Mason. These "secrets" are ancient, and a
historical legacy that is imparted to each Mason as he moves through the three
degrees. Our meetings are closed to non-masons, though any man, who can
assert a belief in God and in the afterlife, can come into the meetings. This is
hardly secret.
Freemasonry is not satanic, and has no agenda to push any religious beliefs. In
fact, there are two things that are not allowed in lodge, proselytizing for any
religion and politics. Not that our members don?t have opinions about both, but
since these are the two subjects that are most divisive and most likely to cause
disharmony in the lodge, they are forbidden.
Some few, dishonest men, claim that Freemasonry is satanic worship. This
claim can be found in the writings of a pornographer and Vatican tool named
Leo Taxil. This man, to curry Vatican favor and make money from the Catholic
Church, admitted after a number of years that he had made it all up to make a
fool of the pope, but that does not get the press that the lies do.
The second reason Freemasons have been accused of devil worship is less

8. clear, and more rooted in the fanaticism of the evangelist. They teach that if
you do not 100% support the Christ and denounce any other faith, you are a
satan worshipper. Southern Baptists have accused Roman Catholics of satan
worship for the same reason, yet no thinking man considers the Catholic church
a hotbed of Satanism, despite its recent setbacks due to child molesting priests.
Sorting out the lies takes intellectual energy, and the few opponents of
Freemasonry are not interested in the truth, but are interested in controlling you
through fear of the unknown. The truth is that Freemasonry is erected to God
and dedicated to the Holy Saints John, and all lodges have the great book of
Law open on the altar, either a Holy Bible, a Torah or the Koran, or whatever
other Holy Writings are used in the country.
Now, when I assure you that Freemasons do not worship the devil, some person
with a lack of understanding will claim "Well, you think that because you are
not a 33rd degree or 32nd degree Freemason, so lets take a moment to dispel
that bit of nonsense. A moments serious consideration by a person with an IQ
above that of his shoe size will realize this is patently impossible and inane.
To wit: A religious man joins the fraternity, watches religiously based moral
lessons, works for the benefit of his community in the name of God, and
attends lodge meetings, opened in the name of God and conducted in the name
of God, and finally attends the 32nd Degree of Freemasonry in the Scottish Rite
or York Rite, given in the name of God. Then after additional hard work and
labor for the community and the fraternity, is AWARDED the 33rd degree, is
told that this honorary degree is dedicated to the service of satan? That is so
patently ridiculous that even the most hateful and ignorant savage can see it
cannot be true.
George W. Bush, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Al Gore, Ariel Sharon, Henry
Kissinger etc etc are not Freemasons. Many famous men are Freemasons, and if
these men were Freemasons, the fellowship would be enriched therefrom, as
among these men, George W. Bush is a most religious, pious, honorable and
respectable man! However, President Bush is a "Bonesman", a member of the
college fraternity, the Skull and bones, but this fraternity is NOT Masonic in
nature.
Oh, sure, it was started by a Mason, but so were many organizations in the
world. However, being founded by a Freemason does not make these
organizations Masonic. I will give you three examples: the Boy Scouts of
America, was founded by Lord Baden Powell, a Mason; Ford Motor
Corporation was founded by Henry Ford, a mason, and J.C. Penny?s was

9. founded by J.C. Penney. None of these organizations are Masonic.
There are all kinds of absurd claims made against Freemasons, none of which
have a basis in truth, however, someone makes a claim, the Fraternity does not
respond, and there it hangs. In intelligence circles, this is referred to as
Disinformation. Ignored, it takes on a life of its own. So lets take a look at the
claim. Freemasonry teaches her sons to act by the square, a symbol of truth and
morality, by the plumb, walking uprightly before God and men in our various
stations, and on the level, open and honest between men.
It is the intent of the Fraternity to no longer sit back passively and allow lies to
be promulgated about our fraternity. Freemasonry does not practice magic,
worship goats, practice human sacrifice, abuse children or any of the other
ridiculous claims made against it. So, one man says "where there is smoke there
is fire." We all know that this is not true, and a famous example of this is the
McCarthy Hearings. Tons of smoke, created by a man trying to further his
career, no substance.
An even greater example of this is the Nazi regime, which needed a scapegoat,
and chose the Jews. All manner of hateful lies were created to justify the
pogroms to further the career of a little failed painter turned politician. Folks
that publish lies about the fraternity, either knowingly or through a lack of a
willingness to actually research the issue, are acting in much the same manner.
Freemasons are good men, servants to the community, and reverent, religious
men, whose goal in the fraternity is the fellowship with other good men and
service to the community. For a more in-depth examination and refutation of
the lies and frauds perpetrated against the fraternity, I recommend a visit to
