my love story this is my novels MASONS THE TRUTH SECRETS OF A SECRET SOCIETY
Freemasonry, although it's leaders strenuously deny it, is a secret society. In
England and Wales it has more than 600,000 initiates; a further 100,000 in
Scotland and between 50,000 and 70,000 in Ireland. All the members of this
Brotherhood are male, and all except those who are second, third, or fourth,
generation Freemasons - who may join at eighteen - are over the age of
twenty-one. Freemasonry's critics have described it as a business cult, a
satanic religion, and a political conspiracy. Defenders of Freemasonry tell us
it is nothing more than a benevolent and charitable fraternal brotherhood. The
headquarters of the Brotherhood in England and Wales is in London, at the corner
of Great Queen Street and Wild Street. This is the seat of the `United Grand
Lodge of England', the governing body of the 8,000-plus Lodges in England and
Wales. These Lodges, of which there are another 1,200-odd under the jurisdiction
of the `Grand Lodge of Scotland' and about 750 under the `Grand Lodge of
Ireland', carry out their secret business and ritual in Masonic Temples. Temples
might be purpose built, or might be rooms in hotels or private buildings
temporarily converted for Masonic use. Many town halls up and down the country,
for example, have private function rooms used for Masonic rituals, as does New
Scotland Yard - headquarters of the Metropolitan Police and home to the "Animal
Rights National Index" (ARNI) and Special Branch. Debate about Freemasonry in
the Police began in 1877 with the sensational discovery that virtually every
member of the Detective Department at Scotland Yard, up to and including the
second-in- command, was in the pay of a gang of vicious swindlers. The
corruption had started in 1872 when, at a Lodge meeting in Islington, John
Meiklejohn - a Freemason - was introduced to a criminal called William Kurr
(Kurr had then been a Freemason for some years). One night the two Masonic
brothers exchanged intimacies. Kurr was operating a bogus `betting agency'
swindle and was sorely in need of an accomplice within the force to warn him as
and when the Detective Department had sufficient information against him to move
in. Meiklejohn agreed to accept £100.00, nearly half his annual salary, to
supply information. In forces all over England, Freemasonry is strongest in the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID). This had been particularly noticeable
at Scotland Yard, and the situation remains the same today. Between 1969 and the
setting- up of the famous Operation Countryman in 1978 there were three big
investigations into corruption in the Metropolitan Police. These were: (1) An
enquiry into allegations of corruption and extortion by Police, first published
in The Times. This resulted in the arrest, trial and imprisonment of two London
detectives in 1972. (2) An enquiry by Lancashire Police into members of the
Metropolitan Police Drug Squad. This led to the trial of six detectives, and the
imprisonment in 1973 of three of them. (3) An enquiry into allegations of
corruption among CID officers responsible for coping with vice and pornography
in London's West End. Over twenty detectives were sacked from the force during
the three-year investigation in the early 1970's, which led eventually to the
notorious Porn Squad trials. There were corrupt Masonic Policemen involved in
all these cases. According to anti-Masonic books to be re-published, and some
modern works, Freemasonry was formed and continues to work to "dupe the simple
for the benefit of the crafty" (p.33, Proceedings of the US Anti- Masonic
Convention, 1830). The Freemasonic value system and organisational structure can
be used to conceal both immoral and illegal acts but, its members derive benefit
from the Brotherhood only so long as the status quo is maintained. Inside the
Brotherhood: Further secrets of the Freemasons, by Martin Short, carries on
Stephen Knight's research into modern English Freemasonry and gives additional
information on American Freemasonry. "Relying on first-hand evidence wherever
possible, the book examines the extent to which Masonic oaths of mutual aid and
secrecy have contaminated the fraternity, aroused mounting hostility from
churches, politicians and public, and provoked charges of corruption in key
areas of the law, local government, education, the medical profession, business,
the armed forces, the Civil Service, and the secret services." Acacia.
INITIATION Initiation into the various secret societies - the Freemasons being
one of, if not the, most familiar, and the one referred to throughout this
article - is relatively easy these days. Potential initiates are hand-picked and
invited to join, tempted with the promise that, once accepted into the
organisation, many personal advantages would be on offer: improved career
prospects with promotion easier to achieve, more prosperous lifestyles, and
obstacles to success would be made to disappear. In other words this mutually
beneficial "old boy network" would take care of its own. The vast majority of
members are on the first three rungs of the 33 level hierarchy and have no idea
of the hidden agenda. Once initiated into the lowest level - the first of the 33
degrees - vows are taken to pledge allegiance to the society above all else.
Most initiates are willing to do this as the temptation of power, wealth, and
knowledge is hard to refuse. It is hinted that there are penalties to pay for
betraying their society and revealing its secrets, but at this level the
organisation is viewed by its members as little more than a secretive social
club with a morality based on chivalry. What appear to be certain esoteric
secrets, are revealed to them upon initiation as a `taster' of what is to come
as long as they remain faithful. Money is then paid by the initiate in order to
progress to the second degree through a ceremony involving the revelation of yet
further secret knowledge with the promise of more to come at each stage.
Initiation into higher degrees requires increasingly larger sums of money and
still the clues keep coming. Promises of wonderful arcane knowledge are
continual yet the actual knowledge revealed remains encoded and only serves to
whet the appetite. No one is ever given the full scenario, only pieces of what
appears to be a picture of the most awesome significance. As more and more is
revealed and the higher up the ladder the initiate is allowed, the greater are
the perks provided and doorways opened in terms of career and social status.
Moreover, the warnings against transgression of the secret society's rules
become blatant and more sinister at each step.It is impossible to achieve high
levels of initiation within Freemasonry unless one is hand-picked by those of
the higher degrees. In order to qualify, one must meet their criteria of wealth,
status, social class, and character type. By the time the twentieth degree is
reached a minimum of professional level income is required to fund progression
through the system. The result of this financially dependent progression is that
the top level members of the Brotherhood elite are among the richest, and most
powerfully influential in the world. They are also responsible, directly and
indirectly, for most of the money/power based crime such as the illegal drugs
industry, political assassinations, Satanism, and mind control, which goes on
every day all around the world. Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, by Stephen
Knight, produced evidence the Ripper murders were a Masonic cover-up involving
the highest levels of British government and the monarchy. An important
investigative effort suggesting the levels of influence at which the senior
members of the freemasonic brotherhood operate and their indifference to the
bounds of law. Acacia BARRISTERS AND JUDGES To understand why Freemasonry is so
powerful in the law, it is helpful to be familiar with the distinct roles of the
two branches of the legal profession. The barrister is the only member of the
profession who has the right of audience in any court in the country. Whereas
solicitors may be heard only in Magistrates Courts, County Courts, and in
certain circumstances Crown Courts, a barrister can present and argue a client's
case in all these as well as in the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the
House of Lords. But unlike the solicitor, the barrister cannot deal with the
client direct. Contact between client and barrister is always supposed to be
through the solicitor, although this does not always work out in practice. The
etiquette of the profession demands that the solicitor, not the client,
instructs the barrister. Thus the barrister is dependent on the solicitor for
his living. In England, the rank of barrister-at-law is conferred exclusively by
four unincorporated bodies in London, known collectively as the Honourable
Societies of the Inns of Court. The four Inns, established between 1310 and
1357, are Lincoln's Inn, Grays Inn, the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple.
Prior to the establishment of the latter two Inns, "The Temple", which lies
between Fleet Street and the River Thames, was the headquarters of the `Knights
Templar' - a Christian/military order who gained staggering riches and a wealth
of esoteric knowledge between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, but were
declared heretics by King Philip IV of France and wiped out during the early
fourteenth century. The Knights Templars went on to become the Freemasons,
(whose symbol is a red cross or rose on a white background, representing blood
and semen in Satanic ritual) and the modern day `Order of the Knights Templar'
within British Freemasonry claims direct decent from the medieval order. Each
Inn is owned by its Honourable Society, has its own library, dining-hall, and
chapel, and is governed by its own senior members - barristers and judges - who
are known as Benchers. The Benchers decide which students will be called to the
Bar (made barristers that is) and which will not. Their decision is final. As
with so much else in British Law, ancient customs attend the passage of students
to their final examinations and admission. Candidates must of course pass
examinations, which are set by the Council for Legal Education, (see MASONS IN
MEDICINE, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SERVICES), but in addition they must `keep twelve
terms'. In everyday language this means that on a set number of occasions in
each legal term (Hilary, Easter, Trinity and Michelmas) for three years,
candidates must dine at their Inn. If they do so without fail, pass their exams
and pay their fees they will then be called, and the degree, or rank, of
barrister-at-law will be bestowed upon them. Solicitors, especially those
outside London, have a particular incentive for becoming Freemasons. By the
rules of their profession they are forbidden to advertise. They are therefore
reliant on passing trade, which is often sparse, and recommendation, which is
hard to get. Solicitors join Freemasonry purely to get on close terms with the
businessmen and worthies of their community, and to gain personal contact with
Police, JPs, magistrate's clerks and any local or visiting members of the
judiciary - men they could rely upon either to put business their way or whose
good offices they would be professionally valuable. From the beginning the men
of law were linked with Freemasonry. The term `Masonic firm' is used more often
in the law than in any other profession. This is because there is a greater
preponderance of companies which are exclusively run by members of the
Brotherhood in this area of society than elsewhere. It refers to those firms of
solicitors whose senior partners are, without exception and as part of a
deliberate policy, Freemasons. In such firms, and this is equally true in London
as in the Provinces, most of the junior partners will also be `on the square'.
Some Masonic firms will not allow the possibility of a non-Masonic partner. In
these cases only existing brethren will be taken on. In some larger Masonic
firms there will be one, perhaps two, of the junior partners who are not Masons.
These non-Masons generally never even suspect the secret allegiance of their
fellow partners. At a certain stage in their career they might receive an
approach from one of the Brothers within the firm - not a blunt invitation to
join, but a subtle implantation of an idea, a curtain twitched gently aside.
Usually if this is passed over nothing further will occur. If it is recognised
and rebuffed, the non-Mason will probably be actively looking for a partnership
elsewhere shortly afterwards, as work becomes unaccountably more demanding and
as he finds he no longer seems to measure up to the standard expected of him. In
summary, according to Freemasonry's critics, Freemasonry is a brotherhood or
more aptly a cult which mandates secrecy and obedience within its ranks, affords
protection and advancement of the interests of its members, punishes its enemies
and turns a blind eye to criminal behaviour committed by its members against non
members. Freemasonry provides a value system and an organisational structure
which works to put brother Freemasons in positions of power in all organisations
and can be used by its members for the most immoral and illegal purposes. Its
foundation appears to rest upon the willingness of its members to selfishly
exchange their ethics for personal advantage. Its strength appears to lie in a
pervasive presence, unseen by those outside the brotherhood, working in concert
to protect and expand their wealth and power. Acacia. LOCAL AUTHORITIES Almost
every local authority in the country has it's own Freemasonic Lodge, the temple
often situated actually within the Town or County Hall. These local government
Lodges are known variously as (a) `Borough Lodge', (b) `County Lodge', (c) `Town
Hall Lodge', or (d) `Council Lodge', depending where they are. In London alone
there are no fewer than twenty-four Lodges which from their names in the Masonic
Year Book can be identified as being based on local authorities. There are at
least as many again in Greater London whose identity is cloaked under a
classical or other obscuring title like `Harmony'. In addition to these there
are the Lodges based upon the City of London Corporation, and Lodge No. 2603 for
officers and members of what was formerly known as the Greater London Council
(GLC), originally consecrated as the London County Council Lodge in 1896.In the
provinces, most County Councils and District councils and many Parish Councils
have their own Lodge. One thing is clear, the vast majority of councillors and
officials join these Lodges, rather than a Lodge based on geographical area or
an institution or profession, because they believe it increases their influence
over local affairs. It could be said that - in local as well as national
Government, and even though we are told we live in a `democracy' - whatever
debate occurs in public is a facade that covers the disturbing truth that
everything has been decided in advance. Freemasons are sworn to show favouritism
in advancing the interests of brother Freemasons. The royal arch mason swears,
"I will promote a companion royal arch mason's political preferment, in
preference to another of equal qualifications" (pg.9, The Address of the US
Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830.) Acacia. MASONS IN MEDICINE, EDUCATION, AND
PUBLIC SERVICES Masonry in the medical profession is prevalent, especially among
general practitioners and the more senior hospital doctors. Hospital Lodges
prove useful meeting places for medical staff and administrators. Most main
hospitals, including all the London teaching hospitals, have their own Lodges.
According to Sir Edward Tuckwell, former Sergeant-Surgeon to the Queen, and Lord
Porritt, Chairman of the African Medical and Research Foundations - both
Freemasons and both consultants to the Royal Masonic Hospital - the Lodges of
the teaching hospitals draw their members from hospital staff and GP's connected
with the hospital in question. Tuckwell and Porritt are members of the Lodges
attached to the teaching hospitals where they trained and later worked - Porritt
at St Mary's Paddington (St Mary's Lodge No 63), which has about forty active
members out of about a total 300, half of them general practitioners; and
Tuckwell at St Bartholomew's (Rahere Lodge No 2546), with about thirty active
brethren. Other London hospital Lodges include King's College (No 2973); London
Hospital, Whitechapel (No 2845); St Thomas's (No 142) and Moorfields (No 4949).
Many of the most senior members of the profession are Freemasons, especially
those actively involved with the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal
College of Surgeons, which has benefited from a massive £600,000 trust fund set
up by the Brotherhood for medical research. The royal arch mason swears, "I will
aid and assist a companion royal arch mason, when engaged in any difficulty, and
espouse his cause, so far as to extricate him from the same, if in my power,
whether he be right or wrong...A companion royal arch mason's secrets, given me
in charge as such, and I knowing him to be such, shall remain as secure and
inviolable, in my breast as in his own, murder and treason not excepted, ".
(pg.9, The Address of the US Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830). Acacia. Freemasonry
plays a significant but possibly a declining role in the field of education. It
is common for junior and secondary school headmasters and college lecturers to
be ‘Brothers’. There are as many as 170 Old Boys Lodges in England and Wales,
most of which have current teaching staff among their members. The ambulance and
fire services are strongly represented in Masonry, and there is a higher
proportion of Prison Officers than Police Officers in the Brotherhood. Unlike
the Police though, their is little fraternisation between the higher and lower
ranks in the Prison Service. The senior officers of Prisons have their lodges,
the `screws' theirs, and rare the twain shall meet. One premier London Lodge
has, in a matter of years, completely changed its character due to an influx of
prison officers from Wormwood Scrubs Prison. Lodge La Tolerance No 538,
consecrated in 1847, until recently considered something of an elite Lodge, was
in need of new members. One of the brethren knew a senior officer at the Scrubs
who was interested in joining the Brotherhood, and it was agreed that he should
be considered. The prison officer was interviewed and accepted into the Lodge.
Such was the interest among the new initiate’s colleagues that one by one the
number of prison officers in Lodge La Tolerance increased. As more and more
joined, so more and more older members left because they were unhappy with the
changing character of the Lodge. Lodge No 538 is now dominated by prison
officers from the Scrubs, where it is strongest in D Wing, the lifers' section.
Claims throughout the service of Masonic favouritism are more common than in the
police. Specific allegations investigated produce a picture of undeniable
Masonic influence over appointments, contracts, and promotions, in many areas.
One thing should be clear by now; the Brotherhood owns the law, they own the
military, they own the oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, and just about
everything which provides fuel for the status quo. It sets the standards for
education, it sets the curriculum, it plants seeds via the media and education
systems of what will later become, through tender nurturing power hungry,
dissatisfied, spiritually unaware slaves to their system. If it was not so
sinister it would be purely perfect in its all encompassing design. Masons might
protest and point out the significant charitable acts done by the brotherhood.
Millions for charity! But are millions significant compared to the sums that
might be realised by the level of influence suggested. The Cali drug cartel in
Columbia gave millions for charity as they pocketed billions. Like the Cali
cartel, it might pay to invest a little for public relations purposes. Acacia.
MASONIC INFLUENCES ON THE ABUSE OF ANIMALS Ancient institutions survive and hold
sway in the City of London more than anywhere else in Britain. Although the City
is one of the most important financial and business centres in the World,
medieval custom and tradition are apparent everywhere. Once a year the
Worshipful Company of Butchers presents the Lord Mayor with a boar's head on a
silver platter, exactly as it did in the fourteenth century. At 10:30 each
morning `fine wise men' set the world price of bullion in the opulent Gold Room
of N.M. Rothchild and Sons, (the Rothchilds have been Freemasons for
generations), but before these gentlemen are out of bed, the "gentlemen" from
the Fishmongers Guild, their boots silvered with fish scales, are exercising
their immemorial functions down by the river at Billingsgate, London's fish
market. On the other side of the City, pre-dawn buyers eye hook-hung carcasses
at Smithfields, the worlds largest dressed-meat market. It is the continuing
belief in the importance of ancient tradition which is partly responsible for
the undying strength of Freemasonry. Fox hunting - which is touted as being
`traditional' but is actually not old enough to qualify as tradition - is merely
one area of animal abuse where an example of basic Freemason connections can be
seen. In the summer of 1995, the Hunt Saboteurs Association put a request in
their quarterly magazine, "HOWL", which read: WANTED: FREEMASONS If anyone has
information on freemasons, i.e. details on individuals, where they are etc., the
details will be useful and will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Preferably details required on people connected in any way with hunting, police
forces, MP's etc. Also wanted any information on gentleman's clubs. All details
will be of some use! If you can help... A response to this appeal featured in
the winter 1995/96 issue of HOWL. It is reproduced here in full along with the
editor's note which followed: Dear Sir I have noticed in the Summer issue No.58
of "The HOWL" a short piece asking for information about Freemasons. I would be
very interested to know what the Hunt Saboteurs Association may have against
Freemasonry. Let me tell you straight out that Freemasonry has absolutely
nothing at all to do with hunting or any form of blood sport. To advertise for
information about Freemasons in connection with hunting therefore makes as much
sense as advertising for information about people who practise any other
spare-time activity (which is all that Freemasonry is) such as pottery classes,
cycling or going to car boot sales. If you want to know what Freemasonry is
really about you are very welcome to write to me or visit Freemasons' Hall in
London where we have a museum and an exhibition on the history of English
Freemasonry. Yours Sincerely M.B.S. Higham Commander, Royal Navy Grand Secretary
United Grand Lodge of England Freemasons' Hall Great Queen Street London WC25
5AZ. Ed's note - Just one little question - if there aren't any connections
between Freemasonry and bloodsports how ever did you manage to get your hands on
a copy of HOWL ... ? Oh, and how do you account for the fact that the current
Chairman of the Master of Foxhounds Association, Sir Michael Richardson (also
Joint Master of the notorious Crawley and Horsham Foxhounds) is one of England's
most senior and influential Freemasons? Interestingly he is wining and dining
the Chief Constables of the Home Counties police forces at the moment! I wonder
how we found that one out - research possibly? With Freemasons in significant
positions within schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, the vivisection
industry, pharmaceutical companies, the police, the legal profession, the prison
service, insurance companies, local and national Government(s), the
Courts.....and inextricably linked with bloodsports, vivisection, animal
farming.....it becomes easy to see why animal liberation activists such as
Ronnie Lee, Keith Mann, and Dave Callender were given prison sentences of 10,
14, and 10 years respectively. One wonders whether the judges who tried and
convicted Ronnie Lee, Keith Mann, and Dave Callender were members of the
Brotherhood? And whether their decision was based upon their adherence to their
Masonic principles, loyalties, and oaths? Were the detectives pursuing Lee,
Mann, and Callender masons? Were the detectives form the Sussex police - DI
Gaylor and DCI Davies - who visited Mann in Full Sutton prison after his
conviction masons? They wanted him to inform on animal liberation activists in
the South of England who are supposedly committing criminal acts and getting
away with it. They hinted that Mann would be arrested for actions in Sussex upon
release if he did not help them. Mann is also aware that other inmates at HMP
Full Sutton have been approached by police with tempting offers if they can get
into his head. What about Lee's, Mann's, and Callender's legal representatives,
were/are they members of `the Square'? Can we be sure they only had their
clients' interests at heart and carried out their legal matters professionally
and without bias or prejudice? To those who have a vested interest in
maintaining the status quo, and all that goes with it, anyone actively opposing
animal abuse and fighting for a fair and free world for all is, ironically,
regarded as an extremist and/or terrorist. Specific laws and police departments
are increasingly being directed at those groups and individuals who are being
effective, legally or otherwise. For some time, Scotland Yard has been home to
ARNI - the Animal Rights National Index. This is a computer which collates
intelligence on animal rights activists and activity. It contains the names,
details, of thousands of people `who have committed or are suspected of having
committed criminal offences'. However, it is not simply suspected/convicted ALF
activists that find themselves on ARNI. Hunt Saboteurs, those who frequent
demonstrations, and even students studying animal welfare at university, will be
amongst those listed. It is said that an equivalent has now been set up for
Earth Liberation activists. On November 3, 1994, sections 68 and 69 of the
Criminal Justice and Public Order Act came into being. Within 48 hours Hunt
Saboteurs had had 6 arrests. By February 1995, 95 Hunt Saboteurs had been
arrested compared with 4 Road Protesters, 2 Tree Defenders, and 1 Traveller.
Around this time it was reported that Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch
would be setting up a national police unit to target `animal rights extremists'.
The report went on to say that, `the main task of the anti- terrorist detectives
would be to bring to animal extremist cases their investigative skills, gathered
over more than 20 years of tackling IRA and international terrorism'. On
September 14, 1826 William Morgan, a stonemason living in Batavia, New York, was
abducted by Freemasons in an attempt to stop the publication of his expose,
"Illustrations of Freemasonry". His badly decomposed body was found roughly one
year later in Oak Orchard Harbour and identified by his wife and dentist. The
failure of the courts to effectively punish the perpetrators gave rise to a
grassroots political movement concerned over the ability of Freemasons to
obstruct justice, subvert the law, and manipulate the media. Acacia. MASONIC GOD
The true name, although not the nature, of the Masonic God is revealed only to
those Third Degree Masons who elect to be `exalted' to the Holy Royal Arch. The
Royal Arch is often thought of as the Fourth Degree but the Fourth Degree is
that of Secret Master. In fact the Royal Arch is an extension of the Third
Degree, and represents the completion of the `ordeal' of the Master Mason. Only
about one-fifth of all Master Masons are exalted. But even these, who are taught
the `ineffable name' of the Masonic God, do not appreciate its true nature. This
is basically because of deliberate obfuscation of the truth by some of those who
know, and a general acceptance that everything is as they are told by most
members of the Brotherhood. In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great
Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON, not a general umbrella term
open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose, but a precise
designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity
composed of three separate personalities fused in one. Each syllable of the
`ineffable name' represents one personality of this trinity: JAH = Jahweh, the
God of Hebrews BUL = Baal, the ancient Cameanite fertility god associated with
`licentious rites of imitative magic' ON = Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of
the underworld. Baal was the `false god' with whom Jahweh competed for the
allegiance of the Israelites in the Old Testament. But more recently, within a
hundred years of the creation of the Freemason's God, the sixteenth century
demonologist John Weir identified Baal as a devil. This manifestation of evil
had the body of a spider and three heads, those of a man, a toad, and a cat. In
1873, the renowned Masonic author and historian General Albert Pike, later to
become Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Supreme Council (of
the 33rd Degree) at Charleston, USA, wrote of his reaction on learning of
Jah-Bul-On. He was disquieted and disgusted by the name, and went on "No man or
body of men can make me accept as a sacred word, as a symbol of the infinite and
eternal Godhead, a mongrel word, in part composed of the name of an accursed and
beastly heathen god, whose name has been for more than two thousand years an
appellation of the Devil". Inside the Brotherhood, by Martin Short, carries on
Stephen Knight's research into English Freemasonry and gives additional
information on American Freemasonry. In it he suggests the racist Klu Klux Klan
was created by American Freemasons around 1860 and revived in 1915 "by a new
generation of Masons". He notes, "It seems that wherever Masons have common
political aims, but cannot pursue them through Freemasonry, they set up parallel
public movements" (p.239, IB). Acacia. Against all this, the Church of England's
Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge (SPCK) for example, even
today carries no literature examining Freemasonry and discussing whether a
Christian should be a mason. The SPCK issued a directive to their book shops
that the book "Darkness Visible", probably still the most accurate and scholarly
general work on the matter, should not be stocked. The Archbishop of Canterbury
is the President of SPCK. The Archbishop of Canterbury responsible for banning
this book was Dr Geoffrey Fisher - a Freemason of long standing. There is no
doubt that Freemasonry is extremely anxious to have, or appear to have, good
relations with all Christian Churches and, knowing that no serious Masonic
scholar and no Christian theologian has been prepared to argue compatibility,
the movement remains silent. There is evidence of very considerable efforts
being made by Masons, including pressures on publishers, distributors, and
libraries, to suppress works critical of the Brotherhood. This even extends to
the Brotherhood's own publications. When the British Library applied in the
normal way to Freemasons Hall for two copies of the Masonic Yearbook for the
Reading Room in 1981, it was informed that it would not be permitted to have
copies of the directory then or in the future. No explanation was given. There
is a deliberate policy in operation within the English hierarchy of the Roman
Catholic Church to keep its members in ignorance of the true standing of the
Church on the question of Freemasonry. This policy is intended to cover up a
huge mistake made by the English Catholic Bishops in 1974 which led to Catholics
in Britain being informed that, after two hundred years of implacable opposition
from Rome, the Holy See had changed its mind and that with the permission of
their local Bishop Catholics could now become Freemasons. As well as covering up
what can now be revealed as this blunder on the part of the English hierarchy,
the wall-of-silence policy conceals, perhaps inadvertently, a more sinister
situation in Rome. There is evidence that the Vatican itself is infiltrated by
Freemasons. Freemasonry has many ranks or degrees and is rigidly hierarchical.
Master Masons are "sworn to obey all the edicts, whims, etc., of those high and
mighty grand sublime Sublimities" (pg.24, Masonic Salvation, Fred Husted, circa
1910) above them. Acacia. Betrayal of the Brotherhood is the worst crime
possible in the eyes of its members and is ultimately punishable by death. The
Brotherhood is all powerful: all top level members of the police and military
forces are placed there through the Brotherhood as Brotherhood tools. Judges and
lawyers, media moguls, businessmen, and politicians, are recruited so that no
member of the Brotherhood elite is ever in danger of being held accountable by
the System for any crime or misdemeanour. The Brotherhood can, and quite
literally does, get away murder because it is also the law which opposes it. If
a non-Brotherhood member should slip through the net and achieve high status
then there are ways to ensure that such people are unable to achieve their full
potential. It infiltrates every area of our society at all levels but at the
top, in the highest social and monetary bracket, the Brotherhood prevails almost
in total. While the first three degree Masons are raising money for charity and
enjoying relatively harmless social events, their superiors in the Craft are
organising wars, drug pushing, co-ordinating assassinations, mind- control,
raping and murdering young children in Satanic abuse, and formulating plans for
world domination. NEWS REPORTS December 9 1996 - Dunblane: ....Meanwhile Frank
Cook, Labour MP for Stockton, will attempt to raise questions in Parliament
tomorrow about Thomas Hamilton's links with the Masons: "I feel there is cause
for an enquiry into the relationship between the police and Thomas Hamilton."
Specifically, he'll question the role of Central Scotland Police in allowing
Hamilton to build up his arsenal of weapons and ammunition. (John Cookson, Sky
News). December 26 1996: Exactly how much power and influence is wielded by
Freemasons has long been a source of controversy. The Police Complaints
Authority has taken its view even though it recognises that suspicions about
Masonic influence in the police may outweigh reality. PETER MOORHOUSE -
CHAIRMAN, POLICE COMPLAINTS AUTHORITY: "Where there is, in the public's mind, a
very strong belief that the Masonic order has many members within the police
force, this is a very strong part of the belief of secrecy and that is what
we're trying to remove". At one time as many as one in five officers in London
was thought to be a mason. In the name of openness, Chief Constables now want a
compulsory register of members. But the other representative organisations argue
that police are being unfairly singled out. CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN MACKENZIE
- POLICE SUPERINTENDENTS' ASSOCIATION: "It's a nonsense to have the police
registering if in fact you could have accusations against judges, for example,
and prosecutors, who actually take the decisions on prosecuting which are far
more serious than the police." Masons in the police are used to the charge that
their first loyalty is to each other. The leadership's response is that masons
know their duty to the law is paramount. The Metropolitan Commissioner has
repeated advice against joining the masons, and though there is a lodge only a
stones throw from here (outside New Scotland Yard) few senior officers are
thought to be members. (SKY NEWS). December 26 1996: The Police Complaints
Authority has called for officers to register their membership of organisations
such as the Freemasons. The watchdog says it would help dispel the belief that
some policemen put their loyalty to the brotherhood above their official duties.
The Superintendents Association said they had no objections as long as Judges
and Lawyers also came out into the open. The suggestion that there should be a
legally binding public register of Mason officers has angered some members of
the police and judiciary who feel it is unnecessary and irrelevant. The idea is
being put forward by the Police Complaints Authority in its recommendation to
MP's investigating the issue. While there's no evidence of abuse in the system,
it's the public's perception of secret deals that's proving harmful. With an
estimated 475,000 Freemasons in Britain, most members say such a notion is
ludicrous: LORD JUSTICE MILLETT - FREEMASON: "No earthly reason why a judge
should favour somebody he doesn't know at all, just because he happens to be a
member of a lodge which he has never been to, at the other end of the country,
it's complete fantasy". There are nearly 9,000 lodges scattered across Britain.
Members include police officers, judges, magistrates, prosecutors, criminals,
and MP's, some of whom, it is alleged, sit on the Commons Home Affairs Select
Committee which is examining the influence of Freemasons on the Criminal Justice
System to see if restrictions are required. (SKY NEWS). Except where otherwise

"my name is shyam" read my novel ok by MASONS THE TRUTH SECRETS OF A SECRET
SOCIETY Freemasonry, although it's leaders strenuously deny it, is a secret
society. In England and Wales it has more than 600,000 initiates; a further
100,000 in Scotland and between 50,000 and 70,000 in Ireland. All the members of
this Brotherhood are male, and all except those who are second, third, or
fourth, generation Freemasons - who may join at eighteen - are over the age of
twenty-one. Freemasonry's critics have described it as a business cult, a
satanic religion, and a political conspiracy. Defenders of Freemasonry tell us
it is nothing more than a benevolent and charitable fraternal brotherhood. The
headquarters of the Brotherhood in England and Wales is in London, at the corner
of Great Queen Street and Wild Street. This is the seat of the `United Grand
Lodge of England', the governing body of the 8,000-plus Lodges in England and
Wales. These Lodges, of which there are another 1,200-odd under the jurisdiction
of the `Grand Lodge of Scotland' and about 750 under the `Grand Lodge of
Ireland', carry out their secret business and ritual in Masonic Temples. Temples
might be purpose built, or might be rooms in hotels or private buildings
temporarily converted for Masonic use. Many town halls up and down the country,
for example, have private function rooms used for Masonic rituals, as does New
Scotland Yard - headquarters of the Metropolitan Police and home to the "Animal
Rights National Index" (ARNI) and Special Branch. Debate about Freemasonry in
the Police began in 1877 with the sensational discovery that virtually every
member of the Detective Department at Scotland Yard, up to and including the
second-in- command, was in the pay of a gang of vicious swindlers. The
corruption had started in 1872 when, at a Lodge meeting in Islington, John
Meiklejohn - a Freemason - was introduced to a criminal called William Kurr
(Kurr had then been a Freemason for some years). One night the two Masonic
brothers exchanged intimacies. Kurr was operating a bogus `betting agency'
swindle and was sorely in need of an accomplice within the force to warn him as
and when the Detective Department had sufficient information against him to move
in. Meiklejohn agreed to accept £100.00, nearly half his annual salary, to
supply information. In forces all over England, Freemasonry is strongest in the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID). This had been particularly noticeable
at Scotland Yard, and the situation remains the same today. Between 1969 and the
setting- up of the famous Operation Countryman in 1978 there were three big
investigations into corruption in the Metropolitan Police. These were: (1) An
enquiry into allegations of corruption and extortion by Police, first published
in The Times. This resulted in the arrest, trial and imprisonment of two London
detectives in 1972. (2) An enquiry by Lancashire Police into members of the
Metropolitan Police Drug Squad. This led to the trial of six detectives, and the
imprisonment in 1973 of three of them. (3) An enquiry into allegations of
corruption among CID officers responsible for coping with vice and pornography
in London's West End. Over twenty detectives were sacked from the force during
the three-year investigation in the early 1970's, which led eventually to the
notorious Porn Squad trials. There were corrupt Masonic Policemen involved in
all these cases. According to anti-Masonic books to be re-published, and some
modern works, Freemasonry was formed and continues to work to "dupe the simple
for the benefit of the crafty" (p.33, Proceedings of the US Anti- Masonic
Convention, 1830). The Freemasonic value system and organisational structure can
be used to conceal both immoral and illegal acts but, its members derive benefit
from the Brotherhood only so long as the status quo is maintained. Inside the
Brotherhood: Further secrets of the Freemasons, by Martin Short, carries on
Stephen Knight's research into modern English Freemasonry and gives additional
information on American Freemasonry. "Relying on first-hand evidence wherever
possible, the book examines the extent to which Masonic oaths of mutual aid and
secrecy have contaminated the fraternity, aroused mounting hostility from
churches, politicians and public, and provoked charges of corruption in key
areas of the law, local government, education, the medical profession, business,
the armed forces, the Civil Service, and the secret services." Acacia.
INITIATION Initiation into the various secret societies - the Freemasons being
one of, if not the, most familiar, and the one referred to throughout this
article - is relatively easy these days. Potential initiates are hand-picked and
invited to join, tempted with the promise that, once accepted into the
organisation, many personal advantages would be on offer: improved career
prospects with promotion easier to achieve, more prosperous lifestyles, and
obstacles to success would be made to disappear. In other words this mutually
beneficial "old boy network" would take care of its own. The vast majority of
members are on the first three rungs of the 33 level hierarchy and have no idea
of the hidden agenda. Once initiated into the lowest level - the first of the 33
degrees - vows are taken to pledge allegiance to the society above all else.
Most initiates are willing to do this as the temptation of power, wealth, and
knowledge is hard to refuse. It is hinted that there are penalties to pay for
betraying their society and revealing its secrets, but at this level the
organisation is viewed by its members as little more than a secretive social
club with a morality based on chivalry. What appear to be certain esoteric
secrets, are revealed to them upon initiation as a `taster' of what is to come
as long as they remain faithful. Money is then paid by the initiate in order to
progress to the second degree through a ceremony involving the revelation of yet
further secret knowledge with the promise of more to come at each stage.
Initiation into higher degrees requires increasingly larger sums of money and
still the clues keep coming. Promises of wonderful arcane knowledge are
continual yet the actual knowledge revealed remains encoded and only serves to
whet the appetite. No one is ever given the full scenario, only pieces of what
appears to be a picture of the most awesome significance. As more and more is
revealed and the higher up the ladder the initiate is allowed, the greater are
the perks provided and doorways opened in terms of career and social status.
Moreover, the warnings against transgression of the secret society's rules
become blatant and more sinister at each step.It is impossible to achieve high
levels of initiation within Freemasonry unless one is hand-picked by those of
the higher degrees. In order to qualify, one must meet their criteria of wealth,
status, social class, and character type. By the time the twentieth degree is
reached a minimum of professional level income is required to fund progression
through the system. The result of this financially dependent progression is that
the top level members of the Brotherhood elite are among the richest, and most
powerfully influential in the world. They are also responsible, directly and
indirectly, for most of the money/power based crime such as the illegal drugs
industry, political assassinations, Satanism, and mind control, which goes on
every day all around the world. Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, by Stephen
Knight, produced evidence the Ripper murders were a Masonic cover-up involving
the highest levels of British government and the monarchy. An important
investigative effort suggesting the levels of influence at which the senior
members of the freemasonic brotherhood operate and their indifference to the
bounds of law. Acacia BARRISTERS AND JUDGES To understand why Freemasonry is so
powerful in the law, it is helpful to be familiar with the distinct roles of the
two branches of the legal profession. The barrister is the only member of the
profession who has the right of audience in any court in the country. Whereas
solicitors may be heard only in Magistrates Courts, County Courts, and in
certain circumstances Crown Courts, a barrister can present and argue a client's
case in all these as well as in the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the
House of Lords. But unlike the solicitor, the barrister cannot deal with the
client direct. Contact between client and barrister is always supposed to be
through the solicitor, although this does not always work out in practice. The
etiquette of the profession demands that the solicitor, not the client,
instructs the barrister. Thus the barrister is dependent on the solicitor for
his living. In England, the rank of barrister-at-law is conferred exclusively by
four unincorporated bodies in London, known collectively as the Honourable
Societies of the Inns of Court. The four Inns, established between 1310 and
1357, are Lincoln's Inn, Grays Inn, the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple.
Prior to the establishment of the latter two Inns, "The Temple", which lies
between Fleet Street and the River Thames, was the headquarters of the `Knights
Templar' - a Christian/military order who gained staggering riches and a wealth
of esoteric knowledge between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, but were
declared heretics by King Philip IV of France and wiped out during the early
fourteenth century. The Knights Templars went on to become the Freemasons,
(whose symbol is a red cross or rose on a white background, representing blood
and semen in Satanic ritual) and the modern day `Order of the Knights Templar'
within British Freemasonry claims direct decent from the medieval order. Each
Inn is owned by its Honourable Society, has its own library, dining-hall, and
chapel, and is governed by its own senior members - barristers and judges - who
are known as Benchers. The Benchers decide which students will be called to the
Bar (made barristers that is) and which will not. Their decision is final. As
with so much else in British Law, ancient customs attend the passage of students
to their final examinations and admission. Candidates must of course pass
examinations, which are set by the Council for Legal Education, (see MASONS IN
MEDICINE, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SERVICES), but in addition they must `keep twelve
terms'. In everyday language this means that on a set number of occasions in
each legal term (Hilary, Easter, Trinity and Michelmas) for three years,
candidates must dine at their Inn. If they do so without fail, pass their exams
and pay their fees they will then be called, and the degree, or rank, of
barrister-at-law will be bestowed upon them. Solicitors, especially those
outside London, have a particular incentive for becoming Freemasons. By the
rules of their profession they are forbidden to advertise. They are therefore
reliant on passing trade, which is often sparse, and recommendation, which is
hard to get. Solicitors join Freemasonry purely to get on close terms with the
businessmen and worthies of their community, and to gain personal contact with
Police, JPs, magistrate's clerks and any local or visiting members of the
judiciary - men they could rely upon either to put business their way or whose
good offices they would be professionally valuable. From the beginning the men
of law were linked with Freemasonry. The term `Masonic firm' is used more often
in the law than in any other profession. This is because there is a greater
preponderance of companies which are exclusively run by members of the
Brotherhood in this area of society than elsewhere. It refers to those firms of
solicitors whose senior partners are, without exception and as part of a
deliberate policy, Freemasons. In such firms, and this is equally true in London
as in the Provinces, most of the junior partners will also be `on the square'.
Some Masonic firms will not allow the possibility of a non-Masonic partner. In
these cases only existing brethren will be taken on. In some larger Masonic
firms there will be one, perhaps two, of the junior partners who are not Masons.
These non-Masons generally never even suspect the secret allegiance of their
fellow partners. At a certain stage in their career they might receive an
approach from one of the Brothers within the firm - not a blunt invitation to
join, but a subtle implantation of an idea, a curtain twitched gently aside.
Usually if this is passed over nothing further will occur. If it is recognised
and rebuffed, the non-Mason will probably be actively looking for a partnership
elsewhere shortly afterwards, as work becomes unaccountably more demanding and
as he finds he no longer seems to measure up to the standard expected of him. In
summary, according to Freemasonry's critics, Freemasonry is a brotherhood or
more aptly a cult which mandates secrecy and obedience within its ranks, affords
protection and advancement of the interests of its members, punishes its enemies
and turns a blind eye to criminal behaviour committed by its members against non
members. Freemasonry provides a value system and an organisational structure
which works to put brother Freemasons in positions of power in all organisations
and can be used by its members for the most immoral and illegal purposes. Its
foundation appears to rest upon the willingness of its members to selfishly
exchange their ethics for personal advantage. Its strength appears to lie in a
pervasive presence, unseen by those outside the brotherhood, working in concert
to protect and expand their wealth and power. Acacia. LOCAL AUTHORITIES Almost
every local authority in the country has it's own Freemasonic Lodge, the temple
often situated actually within the Town or County Hall. These local government
Lodges are known variously as (a) `Borough Lodge', (b) `County Lodge', (c) `Town
Hall Lodge', or (d) `Council Lodge', depending where they are. In London alone
there are no fewer than twenty-four Lodges which from their names in the Masonic
Year Book can be identified as being based on local authorities. There are at
least as many again in Greater London whose identity is cloaked under a
classical or other obscuring title like `Harmony'. In addition to these there
are the Lodges based upon the City of London Corporation, and Lodge No. 2603 for
officers and members of what was formerly known as the Greater London Council
(GLC), originally consecrated as the London County Council Lodge in 1896.In the
provinces, most County Councils and District councils and many Parish Councils
have their own Lodge. One thing is clear, the vast majority of councillors and
officials join these Lodges, rather than a Lodge based on geographical area or
an institution or profession, because they believe it increases their influence
over local affairs. It could be said that - in local as well as national
Government, and even though we are told we live in a `democracy' - whatever
debate occurs in public is a facade that covers the disturbing truth that
everything has been decided in advance. Freemasons are sworn to show favouritism
in advancing the interests of brother Freemasons. The royal arch mason swears,
"I will promote a companion royal arch mason's political preferment, in
preference to another of equal qualifications" (pg.9, The Address of the US
Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830.) Acacia. MASONS IN MEDICINE, EDUCATION, AND
PUBLIC SERVICES Masonry in the medical profession is prevalent, especially among
general practitioners and the more senior hospital doctors. Hospital Lodges
prove useful meeting places for medical staff and administrators. Most main
hospitals, including all the London teaching hospitals, have their own Lodges.
According to Sir Edward Tuckwell, former Sergeant-Surgeon to the Queen, and Lord
Porritt, Chairman of the African Medical and Research Foundations - both
Freemasons and both consultants to the Royal Masonic Hospital - the Lodges of
the teaching hospitals draw their members from hospital staff and GP's connected
with the hospital in question. Tuckwell and Porritt are members of the Lodges
attached to the teaching hospitals where they trained and later worked - Porritt
at St Mary's Paddington (St Mary's Lodge No 63), which has about forty active
members out of about a total 300, half of them general practitioners; and
Tuckwell at St Bartholomew's (Rahere Lodge No 2546), with about thirty active
brethren. Other London hospital Lodges include King's College (No 2973); London
Hospital, Whitechapel (No 2845); St Thomas's (No 142) and Moorfields (No 4949).
Many of the most senior members of the profession are Freemasons, especially
those actively involved with the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal
College of Surgeons, which has benefited from a massive £600,000 trust fund set
up by the Brotherhood for medical research. The royal arch mason swears, "I will
aid and assist a companion royal arch mason, when engaged in any difficulty, and
espouse his cause, so far as to extricate him from the same, if in my power,
whether he be right or wrong...A companion royal arch mason's secrets, given me
in charge as such, and I knowing him to be such, shall remain as secure and
inviolable, in my breast as in his own, murder and treason not excepted, ".
(pg.9, The Address of the US Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830). Acacia. Freemasonry
plays a significant but possibly a declining role in the field of education. It
is common for junior and secondary school headmasters and college lecturers to
be ‘Brothers’. There are as many as 170 Old Boys Lodges in England and Wales,
most of which have current teaching staff among their members. The ambulance and
fire services are strongly represented in Masonry, and there is a higher
proportion of Prison Officers than Police Officers in the Brotherhood. Unlike
the Police though, their is little fraternisation between the higher and lower
ranks in the Prison Service. The senior officers of Prisons have their lodges,
the `screws' theirs, and rare the twain shall meet. One premier London Lodge
has, in a matter of years, completely changed its character due to an influx of
prison officers from Wormwood Scrubs Prison. Lodge La Tolerance No 538,
consecrated in 1847, until recently considered something of an elite Lodge, was
in need of new members. One of the brethren knew a senior officer at the Scrubs
who was interested in joining the Brotherhood, and it was agreed that he should
be considered. The prison officer was interviewed and accepted into the Lodge.
Such was the interest among the new initiate’s colleagues that one by one the
number of prison officers in Lodge La Tolerance increased. As more and more
joined, so more and more older members left because they were unhappy with the
changing character of the Lodge. Lodge No 538 is now dominated by prison
officers from the Scrubs, where it is strongest in D Wing, the lifers' section.
Claims throughout the service of Masonic favouritism are more common than in the
police. Specific allegations investigated produce a picture of undeniable
Masonic influence over appointments, contracts, and promotions, in many areas.
One thing should be clear by now; the Brotherhood owns the law, they own the
military, they own the oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, and just about
everything which provides fuel for the status quo. It sets the standards for
education, it sets the curriculum, it plants seeds via the media and education
systems of what will later become, through tender nurturing power hungry,
dissatisfied, spiritually unaware slaves to their system. If it was not so
sinister it would be purely perfect in its all encompassing design. Masons might
protest and point out the significant charitable acts done by the brotherhood.
Millions for charity! But are millions significant compared to the sums that
might be realised by the level of influence suggested. The Cali drug cartel in
Columbia gave millions for charity as they pocketed billions. Like the Cali
cartel, it might pay to invest a little for public relations purposes. Acacia.
MASONIC INFLUENCES ON THE ABUSE OF ANIMALS Ancient institutions survive and hold
sway in the City of London more than anywhere else in Britain. Although the City
is one of the most important financial and business centres in the World,
medieval custom and tradition are apparent everywhere. Once a year the
Worshipful Company of Butchers presents the Lord Mayor with a boar's head on a
silver platter, exactly as it did in the fourteenth century. At 10:30 each
morning `fine wise men' set the world price of bullion in the opulent Gold Room
of N.M. Rothchild and Sons, (the Rothchilds have been Freemasons for
generations), but before these gentlemen are out of bed, the "gentlemen" from
the Fishmongers Guild, their boots silvered with fish scales, are exercising
their immemorial functions down by the river at Billingsgate, London's fish
market. On the other side of the City, pre-dawn buyers eye hook-hung carcasses
at Smithfields, the worlds largest dressed-meat market. It is the continuing
belief in the importance of ancient tradition which is partly responsible for
the undying strength of Freemasonry. Fox hunting - which is touted as being
`traditional' but is actually not old enough to qualify as tradition - is merely
one area of animal abuse where an example of basic Freemason connections can be
seen. In the summer of 1995, the Hunt Saboteurs Association put a request in
their quarterly magazine, "HOWL", which read: WANTED: FREEMASONS If anyone has
information on freemasons, i.e. details on individuals, where they are etc., the
details will be useful and will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Preferably details required on people connected in any way with hunting, police
forces, MP's etc. Also wanted any information on gentleman's clubs. All details
will be of some use! If you can help... A response to this appeal featured in
the winter 1995/96 issue of HOWL. It is reproduced here in full along with the
editor's note which followed: Dear Sir I have noticed in the Summer issue No.58
of "The HOWL" a short piece asking for information about Freemasons. I would be
very interested to know what the Hunt Saboteurs Association may have against
Freemasonry. Let me tell you straight out that Freemasonry has absolutely
nothing at all to do with hunting or any form of blood sport. To advertise for
information about Freemasons in connection with hunting therefore makes as much
sense as advertising for information about people who practise any other
spare-time activity (which is all that Freemasonry is) such as pottery classes,
cycling or going to car boot sales. If you want to know what Freemasonry is
really about you are very welcome to write to me or visit Freemasons' Hall in
London where we have a museum and an exhibition on the history of English
Freemasonry. Yours Sincerely M.B.S. Higham Commander, Royal Navy Grand Secretary
United Grand Lodge of England Freemasons' Hall Great Queen Street London WC25
5AZ. Ed's note - Just one little question - if there aren't any connections
between Freemasonry and bloodsports how ever did you manage to get your hands on
a copy of HOWL ... ? Oh, and how do you account for the fact that the current
Chairman of the Master of Foxhounds Association, Sir Michael Richardson (also
Joint Master of the notorious Crawley and Horsham Foxhounds) is one of England's
most senior and influential Freemasons? Interestingly he is wining and dining
the Chief Constables of the Home Counties police forces at the moment! I wonder
how we found that one out - research possibly? With Freemasons in significant
positions within schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, the vivisection
industry, pharmaceutical companies, the police, the legal profession, the prison
service, insurance companies, local and national Government(s), the
Courts.....and inextricably linked with bloodsports, vivisection, animal
farming.....it becomes easy to see why animal liberation activists such as
Ronnie Lee, Keith Mann, and Dave Callender were given prison sentences of 10,
14, and 10 years respectively. One wonders whether the judges who tried and
convicted Ronnie Lee, Keith Mann, and Dave Callender were members of the
Brotherhood? And whether their decision was based upon their adherence to their
Masonic principles, loyalties, and oaths? Were the detectives pursuing Lee,
Mann, and Callender masons? Were the detectives form the Sussex police - DI
Gaylor and DCI Davies - who visited Mann in Full Sutton prison after his
conviction masons? They wanted him to inform on animal liberation activists in
the South of England who are supposedly committing criminal acts and getting
away with it. They hinted that Mann would be arrested for actions in Sussex upon
release if he did not help them. Mann is also aware that other inmates at HMP
Full Sutton have been approached by police with tempting offers if they can get
into his head. What about Lee's, Mann's, and Callender's legal representatives,
were/are they members of `the Square'? Can we be sure they only had their
clients' interests at heart and carried out their legal matters professionally
and without bias or prejudice? To those who have a vested interest in
maintaining the status quo, and all that goes with it, anyone actively opposing
animal abuse and fighting for a fair and free world for all is, ironically,
regarded as an extremist and/or terrorist. Specific laws and police departments
are increasingly being directed at those groups and individuals who are being
effective, legally or otherwise. For some time, Scotland Yard has been home to
ARNI - the Animal Rights National Index. This is a computer which collates
intelligence on animal rights activists and activity. It contains the names,
details, of thousands of people `who have committed or are suspected of having
committed criminal offences'. However, it is not simply suspected/convicted ALF
activists that find themselves on ARNI. Hunt Saboteurs, those who frequent
demonstrations, and even students studying animal welfare at university, will be
amongst those listed. It is said that an equivalent has now been set up for
Earth Liberation activists. On November 3, 1994, sections 68 and 69 of the
Criminal Justice and Public Order Act came into being. Within 48 hours Hunt
Saboteurs had had 6 arrests. By February 1995, 95 Hunt Saboteurs had been
arrested compared with 4 Road Protesters, 2 Tree Defenders, and 1 Traveller.
Around this time it was reported that Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch
would be setting up a national police unit to target `animal rights extremists'.
The report went on to say that, `the main task of the anti- terrorist detectives
would be to bring to animal extremist cases their investigative skills, gathered
over more than 20 years of tackling IRA and international terrorism'. On
September 14, 1826 William Morgan, a stonemason living in Batavia, New York, was
abducted by Freemasons in an attempt to stop the publication of his expose,
"Illustrations of Freemasonry". His badly decomposed body was found roughly one
year later in Oak Orchard Harbour and identified by his wife and dentist. The
failure of the courts to effectively punish the perpetrators gave rise to a
grassroots political movement concerned over the ability of Freemasons to
obstruct justice, subvert the law, and manipulate the media. Acacia. MASONIC GOD
The true name, although not the nature, of the Masonic God is revealed only to
those Third Degree Masons who elect to be `exalted' to the Holy Royal Arch. The
Royal Arch is often thought of as the Fourth Degree but the Fourth Degree is
that of Secret Master. In fact the Royal Arch is an extension of the Third
Degree, and represents the completion of the `ordeal' of the Master Mason. Only
about one-fifth of all Master Masons are exalted. But even these, who are taught
the `ineffable name' of the Masonic God, do not appreciate its true nature. This
is basically because of deliberate obfuscation of the truth by some of those who
know, and a general acceptance that everything is as they are told by most
members of the Brotherhood. In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great
Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON, not a general umbrella term
open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose, but a precise
designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity
composed of three separate personalities fused in one. Each syllable of the
`ineffable name' represents one personality of this trinity: JAH = Jahweh, the
God of Hebrews BUL = Baal, the ancient Cameanite fertility god associated with
`licentious rites of imitative magic' ON = Osiris, the Ancient Egyptian god of
the underworld. Baal was the `false god' with whom Jahweh competed for the
allegiance of the Israelites in the Old Testament. But more recently, within a
hundred years of the creation of the Freemason's God, the sixteenth century
demonologist John Weir identified Baal as a devil. This manifestation of evil
had the body of a spider and three heads, those of a man, a toad, and a cat. In
1873, the renowned Masonic author and historian General Albert Pike, later to
become Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Supreme Council (of
the 33rd Degree) at Charleston, USA, wrote of his reaction on learning of
Jah-Bul-On. He was disquieted and disgusted by the name, and went on "No man or
body of men can make me accept as a sacred word, as a symbol of the infinite and
eternal Godhead, a mongrel word, in part composed of the name of an accursed and
beastly heathen god, whose name has been for more than two thousand years an
appellation of the Devil". Inside the Brotherhood, by Martin Short, carries on
Stephen Knight's research into English Freemasonry and gives additional
information on American Freemasonry. In it he suggests the racist Klu Klux Klan
was created by American Freemasons around 1860 and revived in 1915 "by a new
generation of Masons". He notes, "It seems that wherever Masons have common
political aims, but cannot pursue them through Freemasonry, they set up parallel
public movements" (p.239, IB). Acacia. Against all this, the Church of England's
Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge (SPCK) for example, even
today carries no literature examining Freemasonry and discussing whether a
Christian should be a mason. The SPCK issued a directive to their book shops
that the book "Darkness Visible", probably still the most accurate and scholarly
general work on the matter, should not be stocked. The Archbishop of Canterbury
is the President of SPCK. The Archbishop of Canterbury responsible for banning
this book was Dr Geoffrey Fisher - a Freemason of long standing. There is no
doubt that Freemasonry is extremely anxious to have, or appear to have, good
relations with all Christian Churches and, knowing that no serious Masonic
scholar and no Christian theologian has been prepared to argue compatibility,
the movement remains silent. There is evidence of very considerable efforts
being made by Masons, including pressures on publishers, distributors, and
libraries, to suppress works critical of the Brotherhood. This even extends to
the Brotherhood's own publications. When the British Library applied in the
normal way to Freemasons Hall for two copies of the Masonic Yearbook for the
Reading Room in 1981, it was informed that it would not be permitted to have
copies of the directory then or in the future. No explanation was given. There
is a deliberate policy in operation within the English hierarchy of the Roman
Catholic Church to keep its members in ignorance of the true standing of the
Church on the question of Freemasonry. This policy is intended to cover up a
huge mistake made by the English Catholic Bishops in 1974 which led to Catholics
in Britain being informed that, after two hundred years of implacable opposition
from Rome, the Holy See had changed its mind and that with the permission of
their local Bishop Catholics could now become Freemasons. As well as covering up
what can now be revealed as this blunder on the part of the English hierarchy,
the wall-of-silence policy conceals, perhaps inadvertently, a more sinister
situation in Rome. There is evidence that the Vatican itself is infiltrated by
Freemasons. Freemasonry has many ranks or degrees and is rigidly hierarchical.
Master Masons are "sworn to obey all the edicts, whims, etc., of those high and
mighty grand sublime Sublimities" (pg.24, Masonic Salvation, Fred Husted, circa
1910) above them. Acacia. Betrayal of the Brotherhood is the worst crime
possible in the eyes of its members and is ultimately punishable by death. The
Brotherhood is all powerful: all top level members of the police and military
forces are placed there through the Brotherhood as Brotherhood tools. Judges and
lawyers, media moguls, businessmen, and politicians, are recruited so that no
member of the Brotherhood elite is ever in danger of being held accountable by
the System for any crime or misdemeanour. The Brotherhood can, and quite
literally does, get away murder because it is also the law which opposes it. If
a non-Brotherhood member should slip through the net and achieve high status
then there are ways to ensure that such people are unable to achieve their full
potential. It infiltrates every area of our society at all levels but at the
top, in the highest social and monetary bracket, the Brotherhood prevails almost
in total. While the first three degree Masons are raising money for charity and
enjoying relatively harmless social events, their superiors in the Craft are
organising wars, drug pushing, co-ordinating assassinations, mind- control,
raping and murdering young children in Satanic abuse, and formulating plans for
world domination. NEWS REPORTS December 9 1996 - Dunblane: ....Meanwhile Frank
Cook, Labour MP for Stockton, will attempt to raise questions in Parliament
tomorrow about Thomas Hamilton's links with the Masons: "I feel there is cause
for an enquiry into the relationship between the police and Thomas Hamilton."
Specifically, he'll question the role of Central Scotland Police in allowing
Hamilton to build up his arsenal of weapons and ammunition. (John Cookson, Sky
News). December 26 1996: Exactly how much power and influence is wielded by
Freemasons has long been a source of controversy. The Police Complaints
Authority has taken its view even though it recognises that suspicions about
Masonic influence in the police may outweigh reality. PETER MOORHOUSE -
CHAIRMAN, POLICE COMPLAINTS AUTHORITY: "Where there is, in the public's mind, a
very strong belief that the Masonic order has many members within the police
force, this is a very strong part of the belief of secrecy and that is what
we're trying to remove". At one time as many as one in five officers in London
was thought to be a mason. In the name of openness, Chief Constables now want a
compulsory register of members. But the other representative organisations argue
that police are being unfairly singled out. CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN MACKENZIE
- POLICE SUPERINTENDENTS' ASSOCIATION: "It's a nonsense to have the police
registering if in fact you could have accusations against judges, for example,
and prosecutors, who actually take the decisions on prosecuting which are far
more serious than the police." Masons in the police are used to the charge that
their first loyalty is to each other. The leadership's response is that masons
know their duty to the law is paramount. The Metropolitan Commissioner has
repeated advice against joining the masons, and though there is a lodge only a
stones throw from here (outside New Scotland Yard) few senior officers are
thought to be members. (SKY NEWS). December 26 1996: The Police Complaints
Authority has called for officers to register their membership of organisations
such as the Freemasons. The watchdog says it would help dispel the belief that
some policemen put their loyalty to the brotherhood above their official duties.
The Superintendents Association said they had no objections as long as Judges
and Lawyers also came out into the open. The suggestion that there should be a
legally binding public register of Mason officers has angered some members of
the police and judiciary who feel it is unnecessary and irrelevant. The idea is
being put forward by the Police Complaints Authority in its recommendation to
MP's investigating the issue. While there's no evidence of abuse in the system,
it's the public's perception of secret deals that's proving harmful. With an
estimated 475,000 Freemasons in Britain, most members say such a notion is
ludicrous: LORD JUSTICE MILLETT - FREEMASON: "No earthly reason why a judge
should favour somebody he doesn't know at all, just because he happens to be a
member of a lodge which he has never been to, at the other end of the country,
it's complete fantasy". There are nearly 9,000 lodges scattered across Britain.
Members include police officers, judges, magistrates, prosecutors, criminals,
and MP's, some of whom, it is alleged, sit on the Commons Home Affairs Select
Committee which is examining the influence of Freemasons on the Criminal Justice
System to see if restrictions are required. (SKY NEWS). Except where otherwise
