Post by: Apache on November 21, 2002, 01:27:40 PM
Been doing alot of research as of late on this topic, paticularly the masons. I had no idea how many former/current U.S. Presidents, Senators and Representatives are/were Masons.

Oh crap, gotta go...'nother one of them helos.

the freemasons were an antimonarchist society populated mostly by merchants. that being the case in europe its membership list had to remain somewhat secret, but the group itself was no so secret and many of it's member were quite out in open about their membership & feelings.  Mozart was a freemason & his opera "The Magic Flute" was (as well as being arguably the finest opera ever published) blatant freemason propagnada.
freemasonry in america is not so much of a secret society, it is just a private club with membership restricted to people of a certain character

them guys who ride motorscooters and wear funny hats in parades are masons/shriners.

at one time in england they had to be secret because it was treason to be a mason ( death sentence ), but now they wear masonic rings , put masonic signs on their cars and wear funny hats in parades.

many signers of the declaration of independence were masons.

no , i am not a mason

The Catholic Church isn't too keen on the masons...and neither was Hitler.

Thats 2 on the plus side for the masons.

Hadn't you heard? The USA is one giant Masonic conspiracy! Just check out the pyramid/eye symbol on the back of your dollar bills: that's an Masonic symbol, which was also associated with the Illuminati (or rather *is* as the whole suppression thing was a sham).

Fight the system!

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

The masons call god "Jablulon".

The Scottish Rite involves sheep, and that's all I'm saying.

If any of you get an invite to one of their meetings you should go. Masons are pretty cool actually. If your into religion, check out thier logo. The Bible to give your life principal the compass to give your life direction, the carpenters square to line up the edges of your life. I like that.

Many business and community leaders are Masons. You could get some work thrown your way.

Mostly very nice people.

our government was damn near all masons until an 'incident' changed public opinion about them. i remember reading about it somewhere - they waxed a guy for spilling secrets or something in the mid-1800s i think and the public got weary...

perhaps someone with a less 'stonerly' memory can help me out here - it's probably a good thing that it happened or they'd all be 'ring-knockers' now.

ps - my dad's a mason, has been for years and i've already reported you all to the enforcement unit muhahaha

My dad was a mason but he never told me anything about it. He was really secretive.

The Masons are very active in the Army and you'll often see favortism directed towards someone who is a member. But you didn't hear that from me.

Hi Apache,
                You need to go get a copy of "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco. It's a huge fat novel and a daunting read but it's all about secret societies and is a totally facinating and engrossing study of the subject throughout history from the Cabal of the ancient Hebrews to the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons. Eco has a doctorate in semiotics which is the study of symdols and their metaphysical relationships across cultures, heady stuff.

       Interesting sidenote, my father's chiropracter is the head of the Rosicrucians in North America and has tried, unsuccessfully, to bring him in to their society. He is a truly facinating character and he thinks very highly of my dad and has shared a lot with him and done many things for him. Anyways, get that book and post back in a couple months after you've plowed your way through it.

;)

kb,

Thanks for the book idea. I'm always looking for interesting stuff to read during my travels.

I have considered joining the Rotisserieans but like sharing too much my BBQ recipes.

Thanks KB, I'll check that book.

Man, freemasons sure are a powerful lot or better said I guess, the most powerful men in the U.S. are/were Masons.

Interesting stuff.

Oh boy, hope I don't see any of those red or blue cards.
