Freemasonry, a Secret Society

Freemasonry, a Secret Society
Freemasonry is a world-wide secret society, whose members look after each
other, making themselves know to each other with childish handshakes.
At their secret meetings they take stupid oaths, all uttered by fully grown,
supposedly intelligent men.
Freemason’s can be Politicians, Royalty, Police Officers, company chairmen,
bank managers, all men in responsible positions, also electricians, plumbers
and bricklayers, and also include paedophiles, murderers all behaving like
retarded children in Disneyland.
These are just two well-known Freemasons:
Adolph Hitler
(Murderer of millions of Jews and others)
Andre Brevik
(Norwegian mass murders)

Here are just a few of these childish oaths taken;
"having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body
buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark,
"having my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and given to the wild
beasts of the field and the fowls of the air."
"to have my body cut in two, my bowels removed and burned to ashes which
are then to be scattered to the four winds of heaven."
Yes! All uttered in real seriousness by supposedly intelligent men! – Totally
unbelievable!
Freemasonry, following pages shows the childish handshakes and the
nonsense oaths undertaken by supposedly intelligent men?
Also of course they have to wear regalia, here it is;
Grown, intelligent men wearing stupid aprons! Is it any wonder the worlds in a
mess?
Following are the equally stupid handshakes given and oaths undertaken taken
by Masons!

Secret Masonic Handshakes, Passwords, Grips and Signs Masonry
ENTERED APPRENTICE DEGREE
(First Degree in the Blue Lodge)
DUEGARD OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE
The Duegard of an Entered Apprentice represents the position of the hand
when taking the oath of an Entered Apprentice, "my left hand supporting the
Bible and my right hand resting thereon."
SIGN OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE
The sign of the Entered Apprentice alludes to the penalty of the Entered
Apprentice's obligation. The sign is made by drawing the right hand rapidly
across the neck as shown on the left.
3|Page
The penalty that the sign alludes to is, "having my throat cut across, my tongue
torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low
water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I
ever knowingly violate this my Entered Apprentice obligation."
Explanation of the Entered Apprentice sign: Draw the right hand rapidly across
the neck as represented and drop the arm to the side. This action shows the
penalty of having the throat cut and the tongue ripped out.
"BOAZ"
GRIP OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE
(HANDSHAKE)
The Grip of the Entered Apprentice is made by pressing the thumb against the
top of the first knuckle-joint of the fellow Mason, the fellow Mason also
presses his thumb against the first Mason's knuckle.
The name of this grip is "Boaz". When a candidate is imparted with this grip
and its usage it is done in this manner."
First the Worshipful Master says to the candidate:
"I now present my right hand in token of friendship and brotherly love, and will
invest you with the grip and word. As you are uninstructed, he who has
hitherto answered for you will do so at this time."
The Worshipful Master of the lodge then has this exchange with the Senior
Deacon, who is standing next to the candidate, who is still kneeling at the altar,
after have assumed the obligation of this degree:
Note: In the following discourse WM stands for Worshipful Master, and SD
stands for Senior Deacon.
WM: Brother Senior Deacon.
SD: Worshipful Master.
WM: I hele.
SD: I conceal.

WM: What do you conceal?
SD: All the secrets of a Mason in Masonry, to which this token alludes.
(At this time, the candidate is shown the grip of an Entered Apprentice)
WM: What is that?
SD: A grip
WM. Of what?
SD: Of an Entered Apprentice.
WM. Has it a name?
SD: It has.
WM: Will you give it to me?
SD: I did not so receive it, neither will I so impart it.

WM: (Directing his words to the candidate): "Boaz, my Brother, is the name of
this grip, and should always be given in the customary manner, by lettering or
halving. When lettering, always commence with the letter, "A".
FELLOW CRAFT DEGREE
(Second Degree in the Blue Lodge)
DUEGARD OF THE FELLOW CRAFT
The duegard of the Fellow Craft represents the positions of the hands when
taking the oath of the Fellow Craft degree, "my right hand on the Holy Bible,
square, and compasses, my left arm forming an angle, supported by the square
and my hand in a vertical position."
5|Page
SIGN OF A FELLOW CRAFT
The sign of the Fellow Craft alludes to the penalty of the Fellow Craft
obligation. The sign is made by cupping the right hand over the left breast,
drawing it quickly across the body, then dropping the hand to the side. The
penalty that the sign alludes to is "having my left breast torn open, my heart
plucked out, and given to the wild beasts of the field and the fowls of the air."
Explanation of the Fellow Craft sign: The action of cupping one hand over the
left breast and drawing it quickly across the body signifies the heart being
ripped out if the candidate should violate his Fellow Craft obligation.
"SHIBBOLETH"
PASS GRIP OF A FELLOW CRAFT
(HANDSHAKE)
The hand is taken as in an ordinary hand shake, and the Mason presses the top
of his thumb against the space between the first and second knuckle joints of
the first two fingers of his fellow Mason; the fellow Mason also presses his
thumb on the corresponding part of the first Mason's hand.
The name of this grip is "Shibboleth". When a candidate is imparted with this
grip and its usage it is done in this manner:
First, the Worshipful Master says to the candidate:
"I now present my right hand in token of the continuance of friendship and
brotherly love, and will invest you with the pass-grip, pass-word, real grip and
word of a Fellow Craft. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto
6|Page
answered for you, will do so at this time. Give me the grip of an Entered
Apprentice."
As previously explained from the Entered Apprentice degree, he then has this
exchange with the Senior Deacon, who is standing next to the candidate, who
is still kneeling at the altar, after having assume the obligation of this degree):
WM: Brother Senior Deacon.
SD: Worshipful Master.
WM: Will you be off or from?
SD: From.
WM: From what and to what?
SD: From the grip of an Entered Apprentice to the pass-grip of a Fellow Craft.

WM: Begin you.
SD: Shib
WM: bo
SD: leth
WM: Shibboleth, my Brother, is the name of this grip. You should always
remember it, for should you be present at the opening or a Fellow Crafts
Lodge, this pass-word will be demanded of you by one of the Deacons, and
should you be unable to give it, it would cause confusion in the Craft
.
"JACHIN"
REAL GRIP OF A FELLOW CRAFT
(HANDSHAKE)
7|Page
The Mason takes the fellow Mason by the right hand as in an ordinary hand
shake, and presses the top of his thumb hard on the second knuckle, the fellow
Mason presses his thumb against the same knuckle of the first Mason's hand.
At this point in the ritual, the instruction goes directly from the pass grip to the
real grip.
WM: Will you be off or from?
SD: From.
WM: From what and to what?
SD: From the pass-grip of a Fellow Craft, to the real grip of the same.
WM: Pass. What is that?

"TUBALCAIN"
PASS GRIP OF A MASTER MASON
(HANDSHAKE)
The Mason places his thumb on the space between the second and third
knuckles of the fellow Mason's right hand, while the fellow Mason moves his
thumb to the corresponding space on the first Masons hand. The thumb is
pressed hard between the second and third knuckles of the hands.
The name of this grip is "Tubalcain". When a candidate is imparted with this
grip and its usage it is done in this manner:
First, the Worshipful Master says to the candidate:
"I now present my right hand in token of the continuance of friendship and
brotherly love, and will invest you with the pass-grip and pass-word of a
Master Mason. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto answered for
you, will do so at this time. Give me the real grip of a Fellow Craft."
(As explained from the preceding degrees, he then has this exchange with the
Senior Deacon, who is standing next to the candidate, who is still kneeling at
the altar, after having assume the obligation of this degree):
WM: Brother Senior Deacon.
SD: Worshipful Master.
WM: Will you be off or from?
SD: From.
WM: From what and to what?

SD: Letter or syllable it.
WM: Syllable it and begin.
SD: You begin.
10 | P a g e
WM: Begin you.
SD: Tu
WM: bal
SD: cain
WM: Tubalcain, my Brother, is the name of this grip.
"MA-HA-BONE"
REAL GRIP OF A MASTER MASON
(HANDSHAKE)
The Mason firmly grasps the right hand of a fellow Mason. The thumbs of both
hands are interlaced. The first Mason presses the tops of his fingers against the
wrist of the fellow Mason where it unites with the hand. The fellow Mason at
the same time presses his fingers against the corresponding part of the the
first Mason's hand and the fingers of each are somewhat apart. This grip is also
called the Strong Grip of the Master Mason or the Lion's Paw. Instruction for
this grip is given at the "graveside", after the candidate has been "raised".
Speaking to the candidate, the Worshipful Master says, "My Brother, I will now
instruct you as to the manner of arriving at the real grip and word of a Master
Mason. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto answered for you will do
so at this time. Give me the pass-grip of a Master Mason."
WM: Brother Senior Deacon.
SD: Worshipful Master.
WM: Will be you be off or from?
SD: From.
WM: From what and to what?
SD: From the pass-grip of a Master Mason to the real grip of the same.
WM: Pass. What is that?
SD: The real grip of a Master Mason, or lion's paw.
WM: Has it a name?
SD: It has.
WM: Will you give it to me?
SD: Place yourself in the proper position to receive it and I will.
WM: Mark the difference, my Brother, Heretofore your answer has been; I did
11 | P a g e
not so receive it, neither will I so impart it. Now it is: Place yourself in the
proper position to receive it and I will.
WM: What is the proper position to receive it?
SD: On the Five Points of Fellowship.
WM: What are the Five Points of Fellowship?
SD: Foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back, and cheek to
cheek or mouth to ear. (Cand and WM are placing themselves on the Five
Points of Fellowship as the SD names them.)
WM: Ma
Cand: Ha
WM: Bone.
(WM may have the cand begin, while still in position, ie.,
Cand: Ma. WM: Ha. Cand: Bone, being sure the candidate fully understands
the word.)
THE FIVE POINTS OF FELLOWSHIP
During initiation into the Master Mason Degree, the candidate first receives
the Real Grip of a Master Mason, along with instructions in how it is properly
communicated, as he is "raised", or resurrected, at the conclusion of the
Hiramic Legend. The Worshipful Master, or a lawful designee, reaches down
and grasps the hand of the candidate by this grip and "raises" him from the
dead to the position known as the Five Points of Fellowship.
The Five Points of Fellowship is demonstrated as the Worshipful Master and
candidate embrace one another thusly: foot to foot; knee to knee; breast to
breast; hand to back; and cheek to cheek, or mouth to ear.
While in this position, and at low breath, the Worshipful Master then whispers
"Mah-Ha-Bone" into the ear of the candidate. "Mah-Ha-Bone" is the
substitute for the Master's Word. It means, "What, the Builder!". This proper
means for an exchange of the substitute for the Master's Word is alluded to in
the Obligation of a Master Mason: "Furthermore, I do promise and swear that
12 | P a g e
I will not give the substitute for the Master's Word in any other way or manner
than that in which I receive it, which will be on the Five Points of Fellowship,
and at low breath."
As I said, totally unbelievable that grown men believe in all this mindless
nonsense! But let’s move on; there is the noose around the neck, the rolled up
trouser leg and the bared breast to mention.
Yes! These are grown men! Taking this rubbish seriously!
Then you have the preparation!
Preparation
The 1st degree Entered Apprentice Mason is prepared for initiation by being
deprived of all monies, metals and articles of value. He is blindfolded. His left
breast, right arm, and left knee is made bare. His right heal is made slip-shod. A
halter (rope) is placed around his neck.
The Entered Apprentice degree teaches, "As the Sun rises in the East to open
and illumine the glorious day, so the Worshipful Master presides in the East, to
open the Lodge, to rule and govern it with good and wholesome advice and
instruction."
The 'Worshipful Master,' who sits in the east in Freemasonry, is the symbolic
human embodiment of the sun. His deputy the Senior Warden, who sits in the
west, represents the moon. The 'Worshipful Master' is thus elevated to the
post of a 'light-bearer.'
13 | P a g e
As soon as the Worshipful Master opens the Entered Apprentice Lodge
meeting - the Deacons raise their wands over a mystical three-branched
candlestick flickering within the Lodge known as the Three Great Lights.
Light
The guide then knocks three times on the Lodge door seeking entry. To which
he hears, "Who comes there?"
The conductor of the Entered Apprentice degree then replies, "One in
darkness, who wishes to approach the Light."
The Entered Apprentice conductor/guide says, "Brother Senior Warden, by
direction of the Worshipful Master, I present to you this candidate for
Freemasonry, and crave your fraternal assistance in having him placed in the
proper position in order to take an obligation."
The Senior Warden replies "Let the candidate stand erect, and face the east."
The conductor then turns the Entered Apprentice candidate, so that he faces
the Masonic altar and the 'Worshipful Master' in the east. The Deacons also
turn and face the East.
The candidate then approaches the altar in the east and kneels down before it.
He is then required to take an obligation or oath by placing his hand upon his
chosen holy book - known within the Lodge as the 'Volume of the Sacred Law'.
Masonic authority Albert Mackey explains: "When the candidate makes a
demand for light, it is not merely for that material light, which is to remove a
physical darkness that is only the outward form, which conceals the inward
symbolism. He craves an intellectual illumination which will dispel the darkness
of mental and moral ignorance, and bring to his view, as an eyewitness, the
sublime truths of religion, philosophy and science, which it is the great design
of Freemasonry to teach… Light, therefore, becomes synonymous with trust
and knowledge and darkness with falsehood and ignorance."
Christian authority on Freemasonry Tom C. McKenney states that, "Masonry
defines itself as a search for 'light'." This means enlightenment, the acquisition
of knowledge that redeems and empowers... This search for the secret
knowledge goes on and on, as the individual becomes gradually perfected,
redeeming himself!"
14 | P a g e
Imagine a professing Christian who has received the true light of the Lord Jesus
Christ, through salvation, subjecting himself to this Entered Apprentice
ceremony which requires him to divest himself of that light to conform to the
devilishly designed procedures of a man- made sinful institution.
The true child of God needs no mystical enlightenment, as he possesses the
blessed light of God's dear Son the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Himself declared
in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world, he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life."
William T. Still in his evangelical book 'New World Order: - The Ancient Plan of
Secret Societies' says: "All Secret Societies promote an alternative form of
enlightenment, an enlightenment which is damning countless souls to hell."
Daniel says, of Almighty God: "He revealeth the deep and secret things: he
knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him" (Daniel
2:22).
Sifting
The Worshipful Master then asks of the Entered Apprentice candidate:Q. What good can be reported of him?
A. "That he is a man free-born, without maim or defect, living in good repute
amongst his friends and neighbours."
The Worshipful Master then declares, "Admit him."
This sifting process is designed to portray an image that the Lodge is both
honourable and exclusive.
This reply reminds us some of the peoples excluded from the Lodge.
All women.
All men under the age of 21.
Any male maimed or defective.
Any male not free-born.
All Bible believing Christians.
Whereas, the Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 11:28, "Come unto me, ALL ye
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
15 | P a g e
Knowledge
The Entered Apprentice candidate is asked several questions, one of which is,
"Do you come with a preconceived opinion of the excellence of our Order, a
desire for knowledge, and to make yourself more extensively useful amongst
your fellow men?"
To which the candidate is required to say, "I do."
This search for knowledge is known as Gnosticism. It is a secret religious
knowledge that can only be known through ritual initiation. Gnosticism is the
mystical search for secret knowledge. It transcends all the normal religious
boundaries and is adapted to whatever cultures it touches. This belief is
universal and can be applied to any religion or any culture.
The knowledge offered to Entered Apprentice masons in this initiation is the
same, and from the same source, as that offered to Eve in the Garden of Eden.
It is also the same deceptive delusion. Genesis 3:4-6 records, "And the serpent
[Satan] said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat."
The result of their disobedience is revealed in the next verse, where the devil's
lie is exposed, saying, "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they
knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons" (v7).
This false hope brought both spiritual and physical death to man. From that
time forward, man was faced with an awful inheritance - sin. Unfortunately,
Entered Apprentice Masons are still believing the devil's lie and still trusting
upon the apron for a covering.
Romans 1:28-32 solemnly says, "And even as they did not like to retain God in
their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who
16 | P a g e
knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy
of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
Sword in the breast
The Entered Apprentice candidate then receives a jab into his bare breast from
the point of a compass. The conductor declares, "As this pricks your flesh, so
may remembrance prick your conscience, should you at any time be tempted
to betray the trust we are now about to place in you."
The conductor then declares, "The Entered Apprentice candidate has been
received according to Ancient custom."
We learn in the 'Freemasons Guide and Compendium' that by the candidate
enduring such a reception; "There is brought home to him the seriousness of
the step which he proposes to take, and he is reminded of the responsibility
that will rest on him to guard the secrets about to be entrusted to him." (P.
273)
The candidate is later told, "At your entrance into the Lodge, this sword was
presented to your naked left breast, so that had you rashly attempted to rush
forward, you would have been accessory to your own death by stabbing. Not
so with the brother who held it; as he would have only remained firm to his
duty" (Masonic Manual p.9).
Former Wiccan Witch high priest and thirty-second degree Freemason William J Schnoebelen, in comparing the remarkable similarities between
Freemasonry and the initiation into witchcraft, exposes the Satanic home of
this practice. He states both groups: "Challenge the candidate by piercing their
naked chest with a sharp instrument (witches use a sword, Masons, the point
of a compass)."
In the 'History of Initiation' by Oliver, we find the origins of this ancient
practice in the Persian mysteries where the initiates were met by the point of
the sword being pressed into their left breast.
17 | P a g e
Oath
As the blindfolded Entered Apprentice candidate prepares to take his
obligation the noose around his neck is removed. He then swears, "I ---------- ----------------- in the presence of the great Architect of the Universe, and of this
warranted, worthy, and worshipful Lodge of free and accepted Masons,
regularly assembled and properly dedicated, of my own free will and accord,
do hereby and hereon, most solemnly and sincerely swear, that I will always
hale, conceal and never reveal any part or parts, point or points, of the secrets
and mysteries of, or belonging to, free and accepted Masons in Masonry,
which have been, shall now, or hereafter may be, communicated to me, unless
it be a true and lawful brother or brothers…I further solemnly promise, that I
will not write those secrets, print, carve, engrave, or otherwise them delineate,
or cause or suffer them to be done so by others, if in my power to prevent it,
on anything movable or immovable under the canopy of heaven… that our
secrets, arts, and hidden mysteries, may improperly become known through
my unworthiness. Under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut
across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and buried in the rough sands of the
sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty four
hours, or the more efficient punishment of being branded as a wilfully perjured
individual void of all moral worth…So help me God, and keep me steadfast in
this my great and solemn obligation of an Entered Apprentice Freemason."
The Entered Apprentice candidate is then required to ratify his obligation by
kissing the 'Volume of the Sacred Law'.
No true Christian can justify such mutilating curses neither should any believer
bind himself to such wickedness as he is the Lord's unique possession and his
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says, "Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If
any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of
God is holy, which temple ye are."
The Bible says, "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
18 | P a g e
The unseemly language in these curses clearly violates the teaching of
Scripture. Ephesians 4:29-30 says, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out
of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may
minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby
ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."
The revival preacher Charles G. Finney in his book 'Character and Claims of
Freemasonry' alludes to such curses, stating: "The penalty for violating this
oath is monstrous, barbarous, savage, and is utterly repugnant to all laws of
morality, religion or decency" (P. 35). He then poignantly addresses those
involved in such sin: "If they can see no sin in taking and administering such
oaths under such penalties, they have succeeded, whether intentionally or not,
in rendering themselves utterly blind, as regard the moral character of their
conduct…they have put out their own eyes." (P.59)
Enlightenment
The Entered Apprentice candidate is then asked, "Having been for some time
in a state of darkness, of what do you stand most in need?
The candidate is then prompted to say, "Light."
The Worshipful Master then declares, "And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Whereupon the candidate's blindfold is ripped off and he faced with a dazzling
three-branched candlestick flickering before him.
Here the Lodge attributes the words of Almighty God, spoken in Genesis 1:2-3
when He brought natural light into the world at the beginning, to this
blasphemous act.
Jesus said in Matt 6:23-24, "If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other."
Ephesians 5: 6-11 declares, "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for
because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the
19 | P a g e
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
A search for light is a both common and central to all secret societies
initiations.
This light here is the light which is represented by the Worshipful Master - false
light - counterfeit light.
Three Great Lights
The Entered Apprentice candidate is then taught, "On this altar before you are
the 'Lights of Freemasonry' known to us as the Three Great Lights, and the
Three Lesser Lights. The Three Great Lights lie between your hands, they are
the Volume of the Sacred Law, the square and the compasses…The Three
Lesser Lights are represented by the three tapers burning before you; that on
the left represents the Sun which rules the Day; that on the Right, the Moon
which governs the Night, and that is the East, Presiding Officer of the Lodge,
who is called the Worshipful Master."
The Entered Apprentice candidate is then told: "By your meek and candid
behaviour this evening, you have escaped two great dangers; but there is a
third which will await you to the latest period of your existence. The dangers
which you have escaped are those of stabbing and strangling; for, at your
entrance into the Lodge, this sword was presented to your naked left breast,
so that had you rashly attempted to rush forward, you would have been
accessory to your own death by stabbing. Not so with the brother who held it;
as he would have only remained firm to his duty. There was likewise this Cable
Tow, with a running noose about your neck, which would have rendered any
attempt to retreat equally fatal by strangling.
But the danger which will await you to your latest hour, is the penalty of your
obligation, that you would rather have your throat cut across, than to
improperly divulge the secrets of Masonry"(Masonic Manual P. 9).
Martin Short in his book 'Inside the Brotherhood' outlines the spiritual
significance of the cable-tow round the candidate, stating that "the cable-tow
round his neck is 'a symbolical umbilical cord' which when cut, symbolizes
'birth and new life'." (P. 143)
20 | P a g e
"The Secret Word of this Degree is accompanied by a certain hand-shake or
grip, and if you were undergoing examination, proving yourself to be an
Entered Apprentice Freemason, there is a certain method by which that Word
and grip are given."
The password for the 1st degree is then given by being spelt letter by letter
"B"
"O"
"A"
"Z"
The password for the 1st degree is: "B-O-A-Z"
The Entered Apprentice candidate candidate is then told, "From what you
know of Freemasonry in general, you will realise that although we call
ourselves Freemasons, yet we do not take part in any manual labour as
performed by the operative masons. We do however, use certain tools of the
operative Masons to impress upon us moral lessons. These implements are
known as 'working tools' of the degree. The working tools of the Entered
Apprentice degree are the 24" Gauge and the Common Gavel."
"In the symbolic language of Freemasonry, the 24" Gauge becomes the symbol
of times well spent."
The Common Gavel "has been adopted in speculative Masonry to admonish us
of the duty of divesting our minds and consciences of all vices and impurities of
life, thereby fitting ourselves as living stones for that spiritual building not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
The 1st degree bEntered Apprentice candidate is informed, "You will now be
conducted to the 'Worshipful Master,' to be clothed with the distinguishing
badge of an entered apprentice Freemason, and to hear the Ancient Charge of
the degree read by him to you."
The candidate is first taken to the secretaries desk to sign the Masons register
and receive the lodge bye-laws and the laws and constitution of the Grand
Lodge. He is then taken to the north-east corner of the lodge where the Lodge
salutes him as an Entered Apprentice Mason.

The 'Worshipful Master' then endows the candidate with a white lambskin
apron and declares, "I now invest you with this a apron, the distinguishing
badge of an Entered Apprentice Freemason. Observe, it is made of lambskin,
the emblem, from time immemorial, of purity and innocence. It has been worn
with distinction throughout the ages and even Kings and Princes have not
thought it beneath their dignity to exchange the sceptre for the trowel. It is
more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle; more honourable than
the Garter; or any other order which can be bestowed upon you. I exhort you
to never disgrace it and you can be assured, it will never disgrace you."
Christian authority on Freemasonry, Martin L Wagner, says "After the
candidate has been initiated into the first degree and has become pure and
innocent, he is given the white lambskin apron, which 'is his badge as a Mason,
a sign of his purification and innocence.' It is to be laid upon his coffin and
buried with him, and entitles him to eternal reward" (Freemasonry - an
interpretation p.123).
The magical awe this garment is held in, reveals its idolatrous origins, the
veiled language used uncovers a hidden occultic significance. In reality this
garment is symbolic of Satan's good works religion.
James Rongstad reveals in his evangelical book 'How to Respond to the Lodge'
how the candidate to the Entered Apprentice degree is taught, "You were
presented a Lambskin or White Leather Apron. The Lamb has in all ages been
deemed an emblem of innocence. By the Lambskin, therefore the Mason is
reminded of that purity of life and conduct which is essential to his gaining
admission to the Celestial Lodge above, where the Supreme Architect of the
Universe presides" (p. 18).
He quotes from page 44 of the Louisiana Masonic Monitor.
Here the Entered Apprentice candidate Mason is taught that he is saved not by
grace through faith but by good deeds.
The concluding address reveals the foundation upon which Freemasonry is
constructed.
"No institution can boast a more solid foundation than that on which
Freemasonry rests - 'the practice of social and moral virtue'."
22 | P a g e
This statement reveals the sinister nature of Freemasonry. It shows us the
delusion that most Masons accept. However, it is an order built upon the
sandy foundation of good works. Whereas the true Church is built upon the
Rock. - Christ Jesus.
Scary Possibly? – Childish, Most Certainly!
There is a close relationship between Freemasonry and witchcraft; often
freemasons are members of both, Freemasonry and Wicca!
A former Wiccan Witch high priest and thirty-second degree Freemason William J Schnoebelen, in comparing the remarkable similarities between
Freemasonry and the initiation into witchcraft, exposes the Satanic home of
this practice. He states both groups: "Challenge the candidate by piercing their
naked chest with a sharp instrument (witches use a sword, Masons, the point
of a compass)."
Of course there is a close resemblance to the US Skull and Bones secret
society, started at Yale University, and which most Presidents have been
members, certainly all bankers and CEO of major corporations. See Skull and
Bones, a secret society
A masonic symbol, “the all seeing eye”, is also on the USA Dollar?
Always Question Everything - There is always another answer!

Finally; fifty years ago I was invited to join the Masons, by a Lodge Master.
I asked what it was all about, not knowing anything at all! I was given a
Masonic book to read.
I wade through this load of rubbish, finding unbelievable that grown men in
the twentieth century, not only believed it, but seriously wanted to be masons.
I told the Lodge Master who had invited me to join, that I thought the whole
thing was total “crap” and I was interested. Wow! Was he mad, he told me I
needed the Masons to get on in business; by not joining I would fail in the
business I had just started?
Well the business ended up the biggest privately owned company of it type in
the UK, offices world-wide, turnover £50m. Just think what I could have done if
I had become a Mason.
Seriously though, Masons look after Masons, when masons commit crimes,
police masons help them out, solicitor masons defend them, that is of course if
their crime ever got a court!
Talking about the Police, there actually Police only masonic lodges in the UK!
As I said earlier – scary or what!

Freemasonry Revealed
By Rev. William Sudduth
Several years ago, someone gave me a copy of the “prayers for the release of
Freemasons and their descendants. I read them and found them to be so
bizarre; I filed them away and actually forgot about them. Months later my
wife was ministering deliverance to a young lady who told my wife she felt like
she had curses on her from her father. She said “he was the Grand Something
of a Masonic lodge up north and he had molested her as a young girl.” She also
said, “He spoke things over her, maybe some kind of prayers or chants.” I told
her about the prayers I had, and how bizarre they were. This girl was so
desperate to be free; she was willing to try anything.
I dug out the prayers and studied them again and they were still weird. I then
got a book on Freemasonry. As I researched it, I started to see specific spirits
behind Freemasonry, spirits of antichrist, bondage, witchcraft, error, infirmity,
and perversion. I then decided to give the prayers a try at our next session. As
we prayed the prayers with this girl she began to manifest. We were all
amazed and pleasantly surprised by the results. This girl was set So Free!!!
From that day on we began asking people if they had Freemasonry in their
background. If indeed they had, we would lead them through the prayers and
we started seeing incredible deliverances, and healings. We continue to
receive powerful testimonies. One of the ladies on our ministry team prayed
the prayers quietly while I was leading another lady through them. She felt
something physically lift off her chest and shoulders as we prayed. She was set
free from a lifelong asthma condition.
Once we started using the Questionnaire, pages 21-30 of the “Deliverance
Training Manual, we started to notice some very distinct patterns with people
who had Masonic ancestry. What we actually started to notice was the fruit
produced by the Stronghold of Freemasonry. We noticed, that almost without
exception, women whose parents or grandparents (but more often
grandparents) had been involved in Freemasonry had been molested as
children, not necessarily by their family members but by someone. Many had
however been molested by a close family member.
Regardless of what Masons believe or say, Freemasonry is a false religion
steeped in witchcraft, which mixes the Holy with the profane and invites in
spirits of error and perversion among others.
1|Page
Once the door is opened and the enemy has been given a legal right, the attack
against the children is relentless until the devil gets his due. I cannot tell you
the number of horrible stories of perversion, rape, molestation, and incest
we’ve heard. The next fruit of Freemasonry we see is infirmities, primarily
breathing or lung disorders, with asthma and allergies leading the list. We also
see a host of other ailments we can directly attribute to the curses of
Freemasonry. Two emotional areas we see heavily affected by Freemasonry
are anger and fear. As we look into the rites and rituals of freemasonry the
reasons for the fruits of freemasonry become quite evident.
Rites and rituals of Freemasonry
The deceptive nature of Freemasonry begins with induction and membership
in the lodge. When a member of the lodge wants to get someone to join the
lodge, he is not allowed to ask that person to join. Instead he has his wife ask
that person’s wife to have him to ask the member about the lodge. This is
deliberate in order to give the devil a legal right to torment that person and his
family. He opened the door himself by asking about membership in the lodge.
When they join the lodge they go through an initiation ceremony.
In that ceremony the initiate is bare-chested and blindfolded with a noose
around his neck. He is then taken outside the lodge, they knock on the door
and a person inside asks the initiate what he wants? He then answers by
saying, “I want to come out of the darkness and enter into the light of
freemasonry.” The initiate is then brought into the lodge still blindfolded and a
dagger or sword or other sharp object is placed against his bare chest. He then
swears the first of many blood oaths and curses over himself and his family. He
agrees to be murdered or mutilated if the oath of the degree is violated.
The spirit of infirmity comes in from the noose around the neck, which is
evidenced by the fruit of asthma, allergies and other breathing disorders in the
descendants of Freemasons.
It is the belief of Freemasons that each degree obtained, brings them closer to
the light, and to enlightenment. However deception is a key ingredient in
Freemasonry, the initiate never really knows the truth. Albert Pike, considered
to be the father of modern freemasonry; in his book Morals and Dogma of
Freemasonry Wrote this:
“Masonry like all religions, all the mysteries conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect and use
false explanations and misrepresentations of its symbols to mislead those who only deserve to be misled…
2|Page
He also wrote:
“The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the temple. Part of the
symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally mislead by
false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is
intended he shall imagine he understands them.”
Albert pike wrote his book Morals and Dogma of Freemasonry in 1871, after
spending much time studying the Hindu “Vedas.” Which are said to be written
so as to prevent understanding of them. As well as immersing himself in the
occult teachings and witchcraft of the French lodge. The teachings of the
French lodge were so demonic and steeped in witchcraft the English and
American lodges had boycotted them since 1765. Pike studied the French
lodge, and later wrote a 6-volume work containing 1,460 pages. He then used
these writings to redesign the 4th to the 33rd degrees of the Scottish rite. Albert
pikes writings are considered to be radically anti-Christian and occultic in
nature.
Pike was also known to be a Luciferian, heavily involved in magic and astrology.
And spent considerable time studying Jewish kabala (Jewish mysticism), which
may have contributed to his frequent bouts with depression and seclusion. I’ll
make a personal observation here; every person I have ministered to that has
been heavily involved with witchcraft and the occult has battled with severe
depression and suicidal thoughts, so I don’t find it strange that Albert Pike did
also. Every tree produces fruit, a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree
produces bad fruit.
The Masonic lodge has 3 basic divisions the blue lodge is where the first
three degrees are earned. You will see a blue Masonic building in almost any
town in this nation. Once a person achieves the third or Master Mason Degree,
he then moves on in the degree work either in the York Rite or the Scottish
Rite. Once a person reaches the 32nd degree he is then eligible to become a
Shriner. The 33rd degree can be earned or it can be honorary. Some Presidents
and other influential people have been given honorary 33rd degrees for public
relations reasons.
Albert Pike, when he was Sovereign Grand Commander of the supreme council
of the Grand Sovereign Inspectors General of the 33rd Degree wrote this:
“That which we say to a crowd is, we worship a God, but it is the God one
adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we
3|Page
say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and the 30th
degrees – The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high
degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine….Yes Lucifer is
God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God…. Thus the doctrine of Satanism is
heresy…Lucifer, God of light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity
against Adonay, God of darkness and evil.”
If you knew nothing else of Freemasonry this should be all you need to know,
to know it’s demonic. However, I want you to have a broader understanding of
the rituals and how they affect the initiates and their families to the 3rd, 4th and
even the 10th generation. We’ve already looked at the noose around the neck
and the obvious connection to choking and breathing disorders in the first or
entered apprentice degree. Also in that degree the worshipful Master of the
lodge lays hands on the initiate, and dedicates him to the God of the Lodge
(which you now know is Lucifer.) He also asks that by the secrets of the lodge
and by the secrets of their art he may gain eternal life.
In the third degree the initiate is blind folded and again led around by a noose
around his neck. In this degree the initiate is approached by three ruffians who
demand the initiate to tell them the secrets of Hiram Abiff. Hiram Abiff is the
legendary builder of Solomon’s temple and founder of Freemasonry. The
person leading the initiate speaks for him and refuses to tell the three ruffians,
so they proceed to Symbolically beat him to death. He is then placed into a
coffin or stretcher in a symbolic burial. Which by the way invites in a spirit of
death.
After a while the worshipful Master of the Lodge directs a person with a glove
that resembles a lions paw, to reach down and pull the initiate out of the
darkness of death and into the light of freemasonry. This ritual is an absolute
mockery of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the ritual of
the 18th degree, and in other degrees, the initiate takes part in a false
communion. This includes a biscuit, salt and white wine. Also in many false
communions the wine is drunk from a human skull. This again is an absolute
mockery of Jesus Christ and the sacrament of Holy Communion.
In the higher degrees of Freemasonry, the initiates proclaim Lucifer to be God.
They also invoke a wide variety of other Gods and Goddesses during their
ceremonies, including Egyptian and Hindu deities. The principle spirit behind
Freemasonry is Witchcraft. The Masons have drawn from every type of
witchcraft trying to gain power. The power to control the rest of mankind.
(New world order?) Perhaps.

History of Freemasonry
Freemasons claim their ancestry back to Solomon’s temple. Their rites, rituals
and worship as well as the statues and icons of the various lodges display
origins back to ancient Egypt. However its documented history only begins in
1717 with the London, England lodge.
Freemasons also claim to be a Christian organization; they even include the
Holy Bible in their ceremonies and rituals. There are even Masonic Bibles in
print. If you look through a Masonic bible you’ll see a classic example of mixing
the Holy with the Profane. What they don’t tell you is that they will also use
the Koran, The Hindu Vedas or the laws of Confucius if the initiate’s religious
beliefs so dictate. That’s a far cry from being a Christian organization.
To the public the Freemasons appear to be a fraternal organization that does
good deeds, caring for children and orphans, including the Shriners who
sponsor and support Children’s hospitals. I have a copy of a Masonic
Scholarship Award one of our Bible School students received from the lodge in
her hometown. Now that all seems to be very noble doesn’t it? Sadly, the
reason behind their good works is based on one of the biggest and most
deceptive lies of Freemasonry, which is; “Man is not sinful but merely
imperfect, and therefore can redeem himself through good works.”
Therefore negating the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross of
Calvary.
The Shriners, plainly proclaim Allah to be God. Allah is believed by many to be
another name for God, but in all actuality Allah is the name of the moon god
worshipped by the Arabic tribe that Mohammed was born into.
Shriners are also known for their little red hats with a tassel. What people,
including most Shriners don’t know, is that hat called a Fez is named for a town
in North Africa. In the 7th century Mohammed ordered the destruction of all
infidels (anyone who would not bow to Allah) including all Christians. As the
Muslim warriors swept across North Africa they came to Fez a Christian
stronghold and they killed everyone in the town, they then dipped their hats in
the blood of the Christians martyrs. They wore these blood red hats as a
celebration of their victory and a warning to Christians, to convert to Islam or
die.[xiii] Have you ever driven by a Shriners temple? They are nothing more than
an Islamic Masque. Many Masonic temples resemble an Egyptian tomb or
temple.
5|Page
It’s also interesting to note that the symbolism in Masonic ceremonies is
almost identical to Witchcraft ceremonies, including the initiation ceremony. In
which the initiate must be recommended by a current member, he is stripped
and blindfolded with a noose around his neck. In both ceremonies a knife or
sword is put against the breast and a blood oath is made never to tell the
secrets of the lodge or coven.
In fact all of the symbolism of the Masonic lodge is a symbolic act of what is
actually done in witch covens around the world as they worship Satan and
proclaim him to be god!

Masons in Police force. Links to child abuse.
Masons in the North Wales Police force try to hide their existence.
Child abuse is rife.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2012 From www.aangirfan.blogspot.com
Gerard Elias QC, the leading counsel to the Waterhouse Tribunal which
investigated child abuse in North Wales, 'is a freemason.'
Reportedly, top freemasons are involved in top paedophile rings.
All across the UK, child abuse has taken place in children's homes and schools.
Reportedly, the abusers include top people in military intelligence (think of
Blunt, Burgess and Oldfield), top people in the police, top judges and top
people in government.
The 1997 Waterhouse Tribunal investigated paedophile rings at children's
homes in North Wales.
Reportedly, the Tribunal's own top lawyer, Gerard Elias QC, appointed by the
government, 'is a freemason'.
Gerard Elias is a member of perhaps the most powerful masonic lodge in
Wales, Dinas Llandaf.
The lodge, which meets in Cardiff, is made up mainly of legal professionals and
members of the Conservative party, although there are members from other
political groups.
Another member of the lodge, Gwilym Jones, was the Tory MP for Cardiff
North between 1983 and 1997.
He was minister of state at the Welsh Office when the Tribunal was set up...
Gordon Anglesea was a retired North Wales Police superintendent who was
accused by journalists of abusing young boys at a children’s home in North
Wales.
He won a libel action and accepted £375,000 in damages.
The judge was Sir Maurice Drake. He told the court that he was a member of
an organisation to which Gordon Anglesea also belonged. He did not mention
freemasonry but all of the legal teams on both sides knew which organisation
he was referring to...
Anglesea was questioned also about his connection with Freemasonry,' said
the Tribunal Report, 'because of an underlying suggestion that there had been
a ‘cover-up’ in his case.'
Anglesea disclosed that he was a mason, a member of the Wrexham lodge,
Pegasus lodge.
Freemasons - moral guardians or centre of corruption?
Depending on your point of view freemasonry is either a gentlemen's
club devoted to moral and spiritual values or a corrupt organisation intent on
looking after number one.
One thing is certain - freemasons would like to stay out of the public eye
as much as possible. It is this determination to preserve a shroud of secrecy
which arouses suspicion in non-masons.
Even their origins are open to question. Some say the first examples of
masonry date back to the Egyptian pyramid builders although modern
freemasons can only claim a 300-year history. Throughout their history stories
of rituals and threats have leaked out.
There are freemasons all over Europe and North America.
Italy in particular is riddled with masonic lodges - the most famous of
which was the corrupt P2 lodge - and freemasons have been at loggerheads
with the Roman Catholic Church for years. But it is how the membership is
made up that worries some quarters.
Trumped up charges
The freemasons are estimated to have more than 300,000 members in
the UK and thousands more abroad. Stories are rife of masons winning
promotion because their boss is a member and accused men standing in the
dock giving the judge a sly sign indicating he is a mason, although evidence of
such cases remains flimsy.
But Martin Short, author of Inside the Brotherhood, told the Home
Affairs Select Committee how two Asian businessmen stumbled on a masonic
dinner at a hotel and were prosecuted on trumped up charges of assaulting
police officers. He said it later became apparent that the police officers were
lodge members as was the investigating officer, a senior official in the Crown
Prosecution Service and the hotel manager. A presumably non-masonic jury
acquitted the businessmen.
Two years ago the select committee said: "We believe that nothing so
much undermines public confidence in public institutions as the knowledge
that some public servants are members of a secret society, one of whose aims
is mutual self-advancement."
Masonic rules state that members must do all they can to support each
other, to look after each other and to keep each other’s' lawful secrets. For
those breaking the rules, the penalties are outlined in bizarre initiation rituals.
New members are blindfolded, wearing a hangman's noose and are
warned their throat will be slit, their tongue torn out and then they will be
buried in the sand.
The rituals are all too similar to those of the Cosa Nostra and the Triads.
No-one believes masons will carry out the threats but critics argue the oaths of
allegiance could put them at odds with public duty.
Centuries of secrecy
Since 1717 when four London lodges came together to form a Grand
Lodge based on the concepts of brotherly love, relief and truth, non-members
have been suspicious of freemasonry. But it was only 14 years ago that
masons began courting public acceptance with a leaflet on the positive aspects
of their "craft". Eight years later the media were invited to attend a masonic
meeting for the first time.
Freemasons argue their organisation is open to any man regardless of
religion or colour. But women are excluded. They say all that is needed to join
is a belief in a god, not necessarily the Christian God, and a good reputation.
They insist a mason who is a judge, for example, could not be put in a
compromising position because freemasonry demands members respect the
law.
Freemason literature says the society condemns members who use
membership to promote his personal or business interests.
Masons date with destiny
There have also been questions about masonic involvement in the John
Stalker disciplinary hearing, which forced the former Deputy Chief Constable of
Greater Manchester to abandon his inquiry into an alleged shoot-to-kill policy
being operated in Northern Ireland. Freemasonry was also mentioned in
relation to the discredited and eventually disbanded West Midlands Serious
Crimes Squad.
So far the masons summoned, Commander Michael Higham, Grand
Secretary of the United Lodge of England, and John Hamill, the lodge's librarian
have refused to reveal the names of masons involved in the cases.
The Masons Stole My House
By Simon Regan
Scallywag Magazine Issue 25
A tale against corruption in Greenwich involving a solicitor.
An astonishing tale of one woman's battle against corruption in
Greenwich council involving a struck-off solicitor convicted for fraud points
directly to a conspiracy amongst prominent freemasons to wrongfully
repossess council properties and throw the rightful owners onto the streets.
Car accident victim Mrs. Riley and her daughter and parents were very
happy to take advantage of the Tory right-to-buy policy and bought their
council house in Greenwich, let the house to tenants, and moved to
Lincolnshire. At this stage all the proceedings were handled by local solicitors
Hudgell and Co.
Sometime later they were horrified to be notified that the tenants had
been evicted and the house repossessed by the assistant borough solicitor
Leslie Oldman. He had manipulated the order after it was found that Hudgell
and Co. had failed to pay the ground rent of a tiny part of the property amounting to a mere £20.66.
Angry and confused Mrs, Riley, still confined to a wheelchair, began to
look into just what had gone on. When she did so she became more and more
suspicious, bogged down in what she soon realised was a huge and
complicated conspiracy to con her out of her property. She is still fighting on
every front.
At this moment the family are suing: The London Borough of Greenwich,
Hudgell and partners, Solicitors Bridge McFarland, John Smith, and Green D'Sa,
John Cartwright, former SDP MP; Circuit Judge John Adams, the Chief Clerk of
Woolwich County Court, and the chairman of Greenwich housing committee,
Peter Challis.
Masons All
They soon found out, by acquiring a copy of the Lincolnshire
Freemason's handbook, that all the solicitors they had used (and as time went
by they used most firms in Lincs.) were listed as Masons. More important they
were able to expose Leslie Oldman architect of the whole devious scheme.
With a mixture of delight and consternation they proved he had been
struck off as a solicitor ten years before for sustained forgery and misuse of his
client funds - a heinous crime for any solicitor. Yet he was still signing his name
as "Assistant Borough Solicitor". They brought this to the attention of just
about everyone, but Oldman is still employed by the council.
Mrs. Riley is now convinced that a regular racket has been taking place
in Greenwich for a number of years. It goes like this: A family buys its council
house, but solicitors acting for them fail to pay a paltry sum and Oldman is able
to step in and repossess. The house is then sold for a song and the partners
collect the difference. This time, however, they hadn't realised Mrs. Riley'
tenacity.
Little Shit
When we contacted Oldman he was abusive and he tried to bluff and
blunder his way through an explanation. He agreed to meet us, and then put it
off. He finally ended all conversation saying: "You're a little shit" and hung up,
he could not deny, however, that he had a criminal conviction and had been
struck off. "I'm retiring soon, so it won't matter," he boasted.
Meanwhile, Mrs Riley began looking into Hudgell and Co. She found that
it was a partner in the firm, Nicholas Worden Hart, working from their
Woolwich branch who had failed to pay the £20.66 and that another partner,
Anthony Jepson, was a former colleague of Oldman's at Greenwich.
The Pearly King
One of the men Oldman has been dealing with consistently during his
years as "assistant solicitors" is a Greenwich wheeler-dealer called Danny
Dalton. Dalton invented a nice little scam which was to cost several families
dear. He persuaded them they needed help in getting the best deal on the
'right-to-buy' policy. He would pay them £15,000 and they would pay him rent
while he arranged mortgages for them, then, quite suddenly, they would be
evicted.
This happened to, among many others, the pearly king of St. Pancras, Alf
Dole. His deal with Dalton was done in the latter's large Shooter's Hill property.
The money was duly paid over, but only weeks later an eviction order was
sought successfully and police broke down Dole's door to help throw him out.
Dole is joining Mrs, Riley's campaign to expose Oldman, who has remained a
kingpin in all the right-to-buy transactions.
Denials
The only person able to talk to us at the council itself was the press
officer Julian Scholar who proved extremely evasive. At first he denied ever
hearing of Dalton, but later admitted there had been a police inquiry into
Dalton's connection with the council. However, he refused to supply the name
of the investigating officer. The police were equally uncooperative claiming
that it was too time consuming to go back over the files. As usual in such
inquiries the long arm of the Masonic handshake had quickly quashed any
inquiry.
Meanwhile, Mrs Riley fights on, while with the full knowledge of
Greenwich council, a convicted fraudster continues to operate his dirty deals.
Anything to Declare? - Thursday, 2nd March BBC2 South
An investigation by BBC Southern Eye has found that freemasons in
local government do not always declare their interests.
The programme has discovered that there are at least 14 councillors
with masonic connections in Dorset. Twelve of those are involved in the
planning process. According to the local government code of conduct,
councillors should always declare an interest if a freemason from their lodge
submits a planning application.
Southern Eye show how four of the councillors failed to follow the code.
Derek Burt has been on the planning committee at East Dorset District
Council for 34 years and for the past 20 of those he has been in the same
masonic lodge as the developer Harry J Palmer. He did not declare this interest
when he considered planning applications from Mr Palmer's company to build
in Corfe Mullen and Wimborne. Mr Burt is one of three freemasons on the 15strong planning committee and there is no suggestion that he improperly
influenced the decisions.
But according to the local government code of conduct, he should have
left the meetings while the applications were being discussed. There are also
masonic councillors on West Dorset District Council. Terry Farmer has been in
Sherborne lodge since 1985, but he did not declare this interest when three
different members of his lodge submitted planning applications.
Mr Farmer tells Southern Eye that none of the applicants were personal
friends: "All the lodge members don't go to the lodge. Some people like me are
not frequent attenders because they have other commitments in public life. I
don't think in practice you could keep to the rules."
The Local Government Ombudsman, Jerry White, cannot comment on
individual cases. But he insists it is vital that councillors do keep to the rules.
He says: "This is after all a secret society. It works on secret signs, secret codes
of language, meetings are held behind closed doors, and many people are
suspicious that masons are there to further the ends of other masons. Well
that’s a suspicion that really can't be allowed to visit local government."
Two years ago, the Government announced it was setting up a register
of freemasons in the criminal justice system, but at the moment it is only
voluntary. Southern Eye considers whether a compulsory register of
freemasons working in public life is necessary.

Punch magazine outing the masons: Some facts relating to recent UK
government investigation of the Freemasons.
Masons have misled parliament when asked to supply details of their
members' identities. Daniel James, the secretary of the United Grand Lodge of
England, the governing body of most UK freemasons, wrote to the Lord
Chancellor saying that the society did not keep records of its members'
professions. And the Grand Lodge also told Parliament that it had no means of
identifying members who hold judicial office. That, however is nonsense. The
application form for the United Grand Lodge of England contains a space for
the applicant's 'Profession/Occupation/Trade/Rank' with a footnote that reads
as follows, 'a precise definition of occupation or former occupation if retired is
essential'. It would thus be a relatively simple matter to supply the information
requested by parliament.
The Grand Lodge of England only administers Craft and Royal Arch
Masonry in the UK. There are at least four other Masonic governing bodies. On
top of that there are irregular so-called black lodges, which have no overall
governing body.
The Mark Masons and the Royal Ark Mariners' degrees are administered
from the Mark Masons hall in St. James' Street, right across the road from
Prince Charles' London residence, St. James' Palace. Prince Charles has refused
to join the freemasons, much to their annoyance.
Then there is the Order of the Secret Monitor, The Red Cross of
Constantine, and the mysteriously named Operatives. It is these orders that
contain the 'cream' of Masonry in the UK. Subscribers to these additional
degrees are the real fanatics.
The government measures have not been a complete failure.
Compulsory Masonic declaration will soon be a condition for all new
appointments to the Bench. Last summer, Avon and Somerset Police set up a
voluntary register for officers to sign if they are Freemasons. And, in
September, the Chief Constable of Lancashire Police ordered a top level
investigation into the influence of Freemasons within her force.
A report into a corruption scandal on the Isle of Anglesey recommended
that members of the local council disclose in the council's register of interests
whether they are freemasons. Dorset County Council has also decided that
Freemasons should be added to the lists of council members' interests. Similar
moves are being contemplated by Essex County Council. Members of the new
Welsh Assembly will also have to declare if they are Freemasons.
Yet, despite all this, there have been no firm moves to make Members of
the House of Commons and House of Lords disclose whether they are
Freemasons.
Many members of the House of Lords are active Masons and some
regularly take paid for trips abroad on Masonic business (see box on previous
page). Not surprisingly, none of these trips is declared in the House of Lords'
discretionary register of interests. MPs, too, have been less than forthcoming
about the Masons in their midst.
As far as we are aware, only one MP, Tony Baldry, has outed himself as a
Freemason. Baldry, whose Masonic title is Assistant Grand Director of
Ceremonies, made a speech last May suggesting that the government's
proposals on Freemasonry were comparable to the persecution of Freemasons
under the Nazis. He also pointed out that most golf and private clubs do not
disclose their membership lists.
Many Lords are active Freemasons. According to House of Lords
guidelines, peers have discretion over whether to disclose their interests if
they consider that the interests may affect the public perception of the way in
which they discharge their parliamentary duties. [whatever that might mean]
One might argue that being a Freemason may well affect that public
perception.
The Grand Lodge of all England has close ties to the Grand Lodges of
Scotland, Ireland, Northern Europe, and some American Grand Lodges. It also
has directly affiliated lodges around the world. There's even one in
Kathmandu. Nepal.

to declare - in the Lords' register:

Published in the Guardian
Senior police officers have defied official disapproval and established a
new Masonic lodge despite widespread public fears about the influence of the
secret society on the criminal justice system. The police-only lodge has been
set up by officers from the West Mercia force area which covers Herefordshire,
Worcestershire and Shropshire.
The West Mercia Lodge No 9719 was consecrated on 10 June in the
village of Craven Arms, near Ludlow, Shropshire, with more than 200 senior
Masons in attendance. It is the 11th police-only lodge in Britain and the second
in the West Midlands area - the other is in Worcester.
A list of "founders and first officers" of the lodge named 34 serving and
retired officers in the lodge of the rank of chief inspector downwards. A further
11 officers are expected to join at the next meeting, which will take place in
September.
Today the Guardian publishes for the first time what we believe is a
unique photograph. It pierces the wall of secrecy which surrounds one of
Britain’s most mysterious organizations by revealing a large gathering of
London policemen wearing the white gloves, embroidered sashes and
lambskin aprons of the worshipful order of freemasonry.
At the time that the picture was taken, these 60 men were members of
Masonic Lodge number 9179, known as the Manor of St James, which was
founded eleven years ago, on January 27 1986, for the exclusive use of
Scotland Yard officers who had worked in the West End of London. The picture,
which has been leaked to the Guardian by non-Masonic Metropolitan police
officers, appears to have been taken at one of their inaugural meetings and
includes men who then occupied some of the most powerful jobs in the force.
Since April 1985, when Sir Kenneth Newman was Commissioner,
Scotland Yard has been advising their officers to stay away from the lodges.
According to The Principles of Policing, which was produced under Sir Kenneth:
“The discerning officer will probably consider it wise to forgo the prospect of
pleasure and social advantage in freemasonry so as to enjoy the unreserved
regard of all those around him. It follows from this that one that is already a
freemason would also be wise to ponder from time to time whether he should
continue as a freemason.”

Freemasons - moral guardians or centre of corruption?
Depending on your point of view freemasonry is either a gentlemen's
club devoted to moral and spiritual values or a corrupt organisation intent on
looking after number one.
One thing is certain - freemasons would like to stay out of the public eye
as much as possible. It is this determination to preserve a shroud of secrecy
which arouses suspicion in non-masons.
Even their origins are open to question. Some say the first examples of
masonry date back to the Egyptian pyramid builders although modern
freemasons can only claim a 300-year history. Throughout their history stories
of rituals and threats have leaked out.
There are freemasons all over Europe and North America.
Italy in particular is riddled with masonic lodges - the most famous of
which was the corrupt P2 lodge - and freemasons have been at loggerheads
with the Roman Catholic Church for years. But it is how the membership is
made up that worries some quarters.
Trumped up charges
The freemasons are estimated to have more than 300,000 members in
the UK and thousands more abroad. Stories are rife of masons winning
promotion because their boss is a member and accused men standing in the
dock giving the judge a sly sign indicating he is a mason, although evidence of
such cases remains flimsy.
But Martin Short, author of Inside the Brotherhood, told the Home
Affairs Select Committee how two Asian businessmen stumbled on a masonic
dinner at a hotel and were prosecuted on trumped up charges of assaulting
police officers. He said it later became apparent that the police officers were
lodge members as was the investigating officer, a senior official in the Crown
Prosecution Service and the hotel manager. A presumably non-masonic jury
acquitted the businessmen.
Two years ago the select committee said: "We believe that nothing so
much undermines public confidence in public institutions as the knowledge
that some public servants are members of a secret society, one of whose aims
is mutual self-advancement."
Masonic rules state that members must do all they can to support each
other, to look after each other and to keep each other’s' lawful secrets. For
those breaking the rules, the penalties are outlined in bizarre initiation rituals.
2|Page
New members are blindfolded, wearing a hangman's noose and are
warned their throat will be slit, their tongue torn out and then they will be
buried in the sand.
The rituals are all too similar to those of the Cosa Nostra and the Triads.
No-one believes masons will carry out the threats but critics argue the oaths of
allegiance could put them at odds with public duty.
Centuries of secrecy
Since 1717 when four London lodges came together to form a Grand
Lodge based on the concepts of brotherly love, relief and truth, non-members
have been suspicious of freemasonry. But it was only 14 years ago that
masons began courting public acceptance with a leaflet on the positive aspects
of their "craft". Eight years later the media were invited to attend a masonic
meeting for the first time.
Freemasons argue their organisation is open to any man regardless of
religion or colour. But women are excluded. They say all that is needed to join
is a belief in a god, not necessarily the Christian God, and a good reputation.
They insist a mason who is a judge, for example, could not be put in a
compromising position because freemasonry demands members respect the
law.
Freemason literature says the society condemns members who use
membership to promote his personal or business interests.
Masons date with destiny
There have also been questions about masonic involvement in the John
Stalker disciplinary hearing, which forced the former Deputy Chief Constable of
Greater Manchester to abandon his inquiry into an alleged shoot-to-kill policy
being operated in Northern Ireland. Freemasonry was also mentioned in
relation to the discredited and eventually disbanded West Midlands Serious
Crimes Squad.
So far the masons summoned, Commander Michael Higham, Grand
Secretary of the United Lodge of England, and John Hamill, the lodge's librarian
have refused to reveal the names of masons involved in the cases.

The Masons Stole My House
By Simon Regan
A tale against corruption in Greenwich involving a solicitor.
An astonishing tale of one woman's battle against corruption in
Greenwich council involving a struck-off solicitor convicted for fraud points
directly to a conspiracy amongst prominent freemasons to wrongfully
repossess council properties and throw the rightful owners onto the streets.
Car accident victim Mrs. Riley and her daughter and parents were very
happy to take advantage of the Tory right-to-buy policy and bought their
council house in Greenwich, let the house to tenants, and moved to
Lincolnshire. At this stage all the proceedings were handled by local solicitors
Hudgell and Co.
Sometime later they were horrified to be notified that the tenants had
been evicted and the house repossessed by the assistant borough solicitor
Leslie Oldman. He had manipulated the order after it was found that Hudgell
and Co. had failed to pay the ground rent of a tiny part of the property amounting to a mere £20.66.
Angry and confused Mrs, Riley, still confined to a wheelchair, began to
look into just what had gone on. When she did so she became more and more
suspicious, bogged down in what she soon realised was a huge and
complicated conspiracy to con her out of her property. She is still fighting on
every front.
At this moment the family are suing: The London Borough of Greenwich,
Hudgell and partners, Solicitors Bridge McFarland, John Smith, and Green D'Sa,
John Cartwright, former SDP MP; Circuit Judge John Adams, the Chief Clerk of
Woolwich County Court, and the chairman of Greenwich housing committee,
Peter Challis.
Masons All
They soon found out, by acquiring a copy of the Lincolnshire
Freemason's handbook, that all the solicitors they had used (and as time went
by they used most firms in Lincs.) were listed as Masons. More important they
were able to expose Leslie Oldman architect of the whole devious scheme.
With a mixture of delight and consternation they proved he had been
struck off as a solicitor ten years before for sustained forgery and misuse of his
client funds - a heinous crime for any solicitor. Yet he was still signing his name
as "Assistant Borough Solicitor". They brought this to the attention of just
about everyone, but Oldman is still employed by the council.
4|Page
Mrs. Riley is now convinced that a regular racket has been taking place
in Greenwich for a number of years. It goes like this: A family buys its council
house, but solicitors acting for them fail to pay a paltry sum and Oldman is able
to step in and repossess. The house is then sold for a song and the partners
collect the difference. This time, however, they hadn't realised Mrs. Riley'
tenacity.
Little Shit
When we contacted Oldman he was abusive and he tried to bluff and
blunder his way through an explanation. He agreed to meet us, and then put it
off. He finally ended all conversation saying: "You're a little shit" and hung up,
he could not deny, however, that he had a criminal conviction and had been
struck off. "I'm retiring soon, so it won't matter," he boasted.
Meanwhile, Mrs Riley began looking into Hudgell and Co. She found that
it was a partner in the firm, Nicholas Worden Hart, working from their
Woolwich branch who had failed to pay the £20.66 and that another partner,
Anthony Jepson, was a former colleague of Oldman's at Greenwich.
The Pearly King
One of the men Oldman has been dealing with consistently during his
years as "assistant solicitors" is a Greenwich wheeler-dealer called Danny
Dalton. Dalton invented a nice little scam which was to cost several families
dear. He persuaded them they needed help in getting the best deal on the
'right-to-buy' policy. He would pay them £15,000 and they would pay him rent
while he arranged mortgages for them, then, quite suddenly, they would be
evicted.
This happened to, among many others, the pearly king of St. Pancras, Alf
Dole. His deal with Dalton was done in the latter's large Shooter's Hill property.
The money was duly paid over, but only weeks later an eviction order was
sought successfully and police broke down Dole's door to help throw him out.
Dole is joining Mrs, Riley's campaign to expose Oldman, who has remained a
kingpin in all the right-to-buy transactions.
Denials
The only person able to talk to us at the council itself was the press
officer Julian Scholar who proved extremely evasive. At first he denied ever
hearing of Dalton, but later admitted there had been a police inquiry into
Dalton's connection with the council. However, he refused to supply the name
of the investigating officer. The police were equally uncooperative claiming
that it was too time consuming to go back over the files. As usual in such
5|Page
inquiries the long arm of the Masonic handshake had quickly quashed any
inquiry.
Meanwhile, Mrs Riley fights on, while with the full knowledge of
Greenwich council, a convicted fraudster continues to operate his dirty deals.
Anything to Declare? - Thursday, 2nd March BBC2 South
An investigation by BBC Southern Eye has found that freemasons in
local government do not always declare their interests.
The programme has discovered that there are at least 14 councillors
with masonic connections in Dorset. Twelve of those are involved in the
planning process. According to the local government code of conduct,
councillors should always declare an interest if a freemason from their lodge
submits a planning application.
Southern Eye show how four of the councillors failed to follow the code.
Derek Burt has been on the planning committee at East Dorset District Council
for 34 years and for the past 20 of those he has been in the same masonic
lodge as the developer Harry J Palmer. He did not declare this interest when he
considered planning applications from Mr Palmer's company to build in Corfe
Mullen and Wimborne. Mr Burt is one of three freemasons on the 15-strong
planning committee and there is no suggestion that he improperly influenced
the decisions.
But according to the local government code of conduct, he should have
left the meetings while the applications were being discussed. There are also
masonic councillors on West Dorset District Council. Terry Farmer has been in
Sherborne lodge since 1985, but he did not declare this interest when three
different members of his lodge submitted planning applications.
Mr Farmer tells Southern Eye that none of the applicants were personal
friends: "All the lodge members don't go to the lodge. Some people like me are
not frequent attenders because they have other commitments in public life. I
don't think in practice you could keep to the rules."
The Local Government Ombudsman, Jerry White, cannot comment on
individual cases. But he insists it is vital that councillors do keep to the rules.
He says: "This is after all a secret society. It works on secret signs, secret codes
of language, meetings are held behind closed doors, and many people are
suspicious that masons are there to further the ends of other masons. Well
that’s a suspicion that really can't be allowed to visit local government."
Two years ago, the Government announced it was setting up a register
of freemasons in the criminal justice system, but at the moment it is only
6|Page
voluntary. Southern Eye considers whether a compulsory register of
freemasons working in public life is necessary.

Punch magazine outing the masons: Some facts relating to recent UK
government investigation of the Freemasons.
Masons have misled parliament when asked to supply details of their
members' identities. Daniel James, the secretary of the United Grand Lodge of
England, the governing body of most UK freemasons, wrote to the Lord
Chancellor saying that the society did not keep records of its members'
professions. And the Grand Lodge also told Parliament that it had no means of
identifying members who hold judicial office. That, however is nonsense. The
application form for the United Grand Lodge of England contains a space for
the applicant's 'Profession/Occupation/Trade/Rank' with a footnote that reads
as follows, 'a precise definition of occupation or former occupation if retired is
essential'. It would thus be a relatively simple matter to supply the information
requested by parliament.
The Grand Lodge of England only administers Craft and Royal Arch
Masonry in the UK. There are at least four other Masonic governing bodies. On
top of that there are irregular so-called black lodges, which have no overall
governing body.
The Mark Masons and the Royal Ark Mariners' degrees are administered
from the Mark Masons hall in St. James' Street, right across the road from
Prince Charles' London residence, St. James' Palace. Prince Charles has refused
to join the freemasons, much to their annoyance.
Then there is the Order of the Secret Monitor, The Red Cross of
Constantine, and the mysteriously named Operatives. It is these orders that
contain the 'cream' of Masonry in the UK. Subscribers to these additional
degrees are the real fanatics.
The government measures have not been a complete failure.
Compulsory Masonic declaration will soon be a condition for all new
appointments to the Bench. Last summer, Avon and Somerset Police set up a
voluntary register for officers to sign if they are Freemasons. And, in
September, the Chief Constable of Lancashire Police ordered a top level
investigation into the influence of Freemasons within her force.
A report into a corruption scandal on the Isle of Anglesey recommended
that members of the local council disclose in the council's register of interests
whether they are freemasons. Dorset County Council has also decided that
7|Page
Freemasons should be added to the lists of council members' interests. Similar
moves are being contemplated by Essex County Council. Members of the new
Welsh Assembly will also have to declare if they are Freemasons.
Yet, despite all this, there have been no firm moves to make Members of
the House of Commons and House of Lords disclose whether they are
Freemasons.
Many members of the House of Lords are active Masons and some
regularly take paid for trips abroad on Masonic business (see box on previous
page). Not surprisingly, none of these trips is declared in the House of Lords'
discretionary register of interests. MPs, too, have been less than forthcoming
about the Masons in their midst.
As far as we are aware, only one MP, Tony Baldry, has outed himself as a
Freemason. Baldry, whose Masonic title is Assistant Grand Director of
Ceremonies, made a speech last May suggesting that the government's
proposals on Freemasonry were comparable to the persecution of Freemasons
under the Nazis. He also pointed out that most golf and private clubs do not
disclose their membership lists.
Many Lords are active Freemasons. According to House of Lords
guidelines, peers have discretion over whether to disclose their interests if
they consider that the interests may affect the public perception of the way in
which they discharge their parliamentary duties. [whatever that might mean]
One might argue that being a Freemason may well affect that public
perception.
The Grand Lodge of all England has close ties to the Grand Lodges of
Scotland, Ireland, Northern Europe, and some American Grand Lodges. It also
has directly affiliated lodges around the world. There's even one in
Kathmandu. Nepal.
The following Lords have represented the Grand Lodge of England on

Is David Cameron a Freemason?
Yes! There are 350,000 freemasons in Britain. If you get to the 33rd degree like
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown or David Cameron you are then in the running to be
a Bilderberger. Bilderbergers are a higher, international, more exclusive level
of freemasonry, only 140 strong, and their agenda is to build the EU
dictatorship. Every Prime Minister since Edward Heath has been a
Bilderberger, and they have controlled the leadership of the Conservative
party since the late 1960's.
The Rothschilds and the Queen are members of the top two levels; and our
German Royal Family (real name Saxe-Coburg Gotha; Windsor is an adopted
name) has always been head of freemasonry. Nearly all British judges and Law
Lords are Freemasons; so are most barristers, which is why miscarriages of
justice are the norm in our now utterly corrupt British Courts.
Judges and Freemasonry barristers usually decide the outcome of a case to suit
their own agenda beforehand. That agenda is often implementing the
Frankfurt School subversion technique of "trauma through injustice,"
particularly in our now secret family courts, where they snatch 4,500 children
annually from good parents for forced adoption. The Daily Mail covers a tiny
number of those cases.
Our corrupt freemasonry Law Lords refuse to rule the EU wholly illegal under
our British constitution, which it is. They lead the pretence our written British
constitution is unwritten, to render it worthless.
Current Conservative Bilderbergers include Francis Maude and Ken Clarke,
apparently a DVD agent too; David Cameron, William Hague, George Osborne.
Lib Dems: Nick Clegg. Labour: Ed Balls, David Miliband (DVD too), Peter
Mandleson, John Sainsbury, Philip Gould; Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. These
evil men are deliberately destroying us every day.
Newspapers are censored for legal reasons by freemasonry lawyers or
Common Purpose members; and the BBC has 400 Common Purpose staff
censoring out anti-EU news, which is why they didn't report that Westminster
gave up the last 20% of its power in January 2009, and now only exists to help
the press conceal what has happened, until the EU dictatorship has
consolidated its power.
A Daily mail report
THE COUP DE GRACE - A MASON REVEALS ALL
On page 96 of our book "Second Warning" I tell the story of a Mason who
attended one of my meetings in New South Wales, Australia.
I was part way into my explanation of these matters when he interjected
that it was hardly fair of me to hit the 'craft' as he called it. I replied "Which
craft?", which sounded like a pun, yet was not meant in a cruel way. He
answered; "You know what I mean" as he felt that he should have the right of
reply.
I said to him, "Come on up and bring us a word of explanation." I allowed
him to publicly state his case in our meeting. The man couldn't believe it and
neither could my audience. We parted that night on good terms, as I had done
the honourable thing.
The next night we arrived at the building where the 2nd lecture was to take
place. There he (the Mason) was again in the front seat. I said "Back again?"
and he replied "Yes". (Fairly remarkable observation but the English language
and custom lend themselves to these little oddities.)
I said "I was good to you last night. You be good to me tonight. Are you a
Christian?" He replied that he was a Methodist lay preacher, which in no way
answered the question, as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism said in his
pre-conversion days, "I went to convert the heathen but who will convert me?"
I then asked, "What degree are you in?" to which he replied "the 32nd". I
answered excitedly "You are the man I'm looking for. Have you heard of Albert
Pike?"
Mason: "Yes".
Self: "You are aware of his statement, Lucifer is God and Adonay is also
God?"
Mason: "Yes, of course I am."
I'll be quite frank at this stage. I was convinced that, as many others have
done, this man would try to dodge the issue by one of the following means.
a.
Albert Pike never made such a statement. Enemies of Masonry
attributed the statement to him.
b.
1|Page
c.
That statement applies to some U.S. Lodges but we here in Australia,
Great Britain and the other colonies are not linked etc. etc.
My dear reader, did you note what this Australian man said? - He knew this
statement of Pike's yet it didn't bother him.
Self: "Can you please equate your belief in God with a belief also in Lucifer?"
Mason: "l will". He then turned me to the two following Scriptures in the
Bible.
"I Jesus....am the root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning
star."
Then he said, "we will now read from the prophet Isaiah. "How art thou
fallen from heaven oh Lucifer, son of the morning...."
Mason: "There you are Mr Smith. They are the same person."
Self: "What? Jesus said "I am the bright and morning star." Lucifer is called
"son of the morning".
I continued on. "God, through Jesus (the Word) created Lucifer who was the
anointed cherub involved in music and the praise and worship of heaven.
Because of his pride, he was thrown out of heaven and fell to the earth along
with one third of the angels.
2|Page
Jesus never fell from heaven.
Lucifer will burn in hell forever with his followers.
The Lord Jesus Christ will reign forever with His followers."
I was angry, yet happy at the same time as I now understood where these
guys were coming from.
The New South Wales Freemasons, as you possibly now already know, got to
hear of this public revelation but botched their explanation badly, making
things much worse. They engaged the services of a Committee of Chaplains,
who in my humble opinion would all have been better off employed in another
line of business. The article is quoted in our book 'P.S.' on pages 25-26. It was
entitled "A Response to Specific Criticisms of Freemasonry", part two (The New
South Wales Freemason Vol 20), no.5, February 1988.
4
They wrote, "In Revelation we read "I Jesus am the bright and morning
star." This means Jesus has identified Himself with the qualities of the morning
star, or Lucifer, a fitting title for Him whom Christians regard as the 'Light of
the world'.
Some masonic degrees are restricted to Christians whose members refer to
God as Jesus, or as Pike stated "Lucifer". "
Are you still concentrating? This statement was not devised by enemies of
Freemasonry but by their own appointed committee of Chaplains. Can you
believe it?
These men blew it! Our Lord Jesus Christ is the true light and is the Creator.
Lucifer is the false light and was created!
Although Lodges in the old Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand,
Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, parts of Africa etc, are linked to the
Grand Lodge in England, never again let me hear the lie that Albert Pike's
statement was not really from him, nor that U.S. masonry is not linked to world
masonry in general.
Never again forget the highly secret global Freemasonry headquarters
named the Palladium.

Freemasonry and the Law
An article in the 'Weekly Telegraph', 21-27 August 1996 has the headline
"Freemason chosen for justice body.
The Government has defended its appointment of a freemason to head the
commission to investigate miscarriages of justice.
....Sir .... ...., the chairman of the Criminal Cases Review Commission was
confirmed by Freemasons Hall in London as both a Freemason and a member
of the Royal Arch, a group interested in studying the philosophy of
freemasonry....
....The nub of concern is a 'ritual' involved in the Royal Arch which states
that a Freemason should "relieve and befriend" any brother Freemason in
need of help and should "suggest the most kindly and the most palliating and
the most favourite circumstances in extenuation of his conduct, even when
justly liable to reprehension and blame". End quote. (Emphasis added).
It is little wonder that such involved language was used in this statement. If
simple English had been used, people would immediately be very upset with
this clear manipulation and misuse of our law system.
Explanation of the above ritualistic statement:
Should, for example, a Freemason be guilty of a crime, it would be the task
of the police Freemason, the judge Freemason, and the lawyer Freemason,
(and any other Freemasons who belong to this Royal Arch degree), to get the
charges against their fellow Freemason dropped.
Therefore, this could well be a clear case of the 'goat guarding the cabbage
patch'.
But that's not all!
North American Freemasons in the third degree swear "I will keep a worthy
brother Master Mason's secrets inviolable, when communicated to or received
by me as such, murder and treason excepted."
4|Page
In the Royal Arch degree of the York Rite, even that small qualification is
summarily removed. The candidate swears that "I will keep all the secrets of a
Companion Royal Arch Mason (when communicated to me as such, or I
knowing them to be such), without exceptions."
At this degree, the candidate also swears that "I will not speak evil of a
Companion Royal Arch Mason, behind his back nor before his face, but will
apprise him of all approaching danger, if in my power."
Therefore, an officer of the court who knew of an arrest warrant sworn out
against a brother Mason would have to warn him immediately so he could flee
the jurisdiction.
A Mason who was told of a brother Mason's crimes, even including rape,
robbery, or child abuse, would have to keep his knowledge of those crimes a
secret, even in a court of law!
A Royal Arch Mason who knew of a Companion Mason's being a murderer
or a traitor would have to keep his knowledge a secret.
If a Mason appears in court against a non-Mason, all he has to do is give any
number of obscure gestures or words to a Masonic judge, and this man will be
obligated to rule in his favour.
No one in the court room will be the wiser (except another Mason who
would be forbidden from bringing the incident to light.)
In the light of this information, it is clear that any person connected with
the law system of any country, should be forbidden to join any Lodge or
secret society which could in any way interfere with his duties.
'London Times', 27 September 1996 - "Police to declare Masonic link.
All police officers will be asked to declare whether they are Freemasons
under plans being prepared by chief constables to curb the organisation's links
with forces.
Any officer who reveals he is a Freemason or a member of any other semisecret organisation would have the details entered on a force register of
interests. The declarations will be voluntary but if an officer stays silent and
5|Page
later faces allegations involving Freemasonry, his silence would count against
him...
The guidance will make it clear that officers must avoid membership of any
group which might lead to questions over their impartiality...
Many senior officers believe that the influence of the Freemasons is
declining..." End quote.
It is little wonder then that from time to time unusual court rulings baffle
the general public.
A Confused Minister Writes From Canada:
"Both Mackey and Pike's publications were largely disagreed with on a
universal basis as soon as they were available a century and a half ago".
Author's comments –
1.
Please notice that this man did not come up with the names of any of
those who disagreed.
2.
In the light of his statement, why is it then that the New South Wales
Committee of Chaplains in Australia, write in their official magazine
"some Masonic degrees are restricted to Christians, whose members
refer to God as "Jesus" or as Pike stated "Lucifer".
3.
As Mackey and Pike's publications are 'largely disagreed with on a
universal basis', does this mean that an official public announcement
has been made throughout all the Lodges that these men's works,
including Mackey's Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, should be taken
from their bookshelves and destroyed?
4.
If this minister is correct regarding Pike's and Mackey's works, we can
therefore assume that basically, a Lodge member can believe anything
he wishes to, and disregard anything that the Lodge hierarchy tells him.
5.
This being true, imagine what would happen if a would-be member
refused to go along with the initial obligations involving the ceremonial
cutting of the throat, and the tearing out of the tongue, and instead
6|Page
decided to preach the gospel, referring to Jesus Christ as the only way
to God.
6.
This would be akin to anarchy and the whole system would rapidly fall
apart.
7.
Thus, to any reader who feels strong emotion getting the better of him
at this point, please answer all these questions and then ask yourself
this one.
8.
5. Do I, any longer, wish to associate with any society which includes
members who truly believe that Lucifer is God?
Who is Lucifer? He is the arch-enemy of Almighty God.
His other names are 'Satan' or the 'Devil'.
A final note.
None of this is to prove that one is right and one is wrong, but an
opportunity to use our God-given intellect in an exercise of clear thinking.
Does this minister know something that the Australian Committee of
Chaplains did not know?
Of course, no Christian minister has any right to belong to any organisation
where even some of its members declare openly that Lucifer is God!
This is outrageous, as Jesus made it clear, that light and darkness never mix.
One observation I have made over the years is that Freemasons struggle
with woolly thinking and find it difficult to face facts, and strive to the very end
to protect what they 'think' is the truth - after all, what intelligent man wants
to confess that he was mistaken?
This no doubt is a spiritual problem and comes from the oaths that they
took upon themselves at their initiation.
I well remember visiting a Freemason who asked for help after reading one
of my books, but upon entering his office, he began to talk and talk and talk,
never leaving me space to comment apart from 'yes' and 'no'.
He later stood to his feet and said "I'm sorry but I must go now as I have
another appointment".
7|Page
His secretary, a born-again Christian believer, came to me with a look of
amazement on her face and said "I have never ever seen him behave like that
before. What came over him?"
I was able to explain.
Who is to blame for all this deception?
During the year 1996, a concerned lady sent me a tape recording of a
Masonic Service held in a Uniting Church in Australia, to persuade me that I
had got it all wrong.
I was dumbfounded as I listened to the minister go along with all this woolly
thinking, using the word tolerance, over and over again.
Since listening to this tape, I have concluded that the Masons are no more
spiritually lost than the poor church adherents who attend such gatherings,
but the chief culprit would appear to be none other than the Minister who
obviously is posing as a Christian.
It would appear that he has not discovered the basic premise of Christianity,
that Jesus Christ Himself is God's only Lamb, and that only His precious blood
cleanses from all sin.
5
When Jesus said. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh
unto the Father but by Me", He wasn't joking.
Here are the possibilities:
a) He was deluded.
b) He was a madman.
c) He was evil.
d) He was telling the truth and was who He said He was.
Any minister in a so-called Christian Church who doesn't subscribe to section
d), should resign immediately. Better to go to the Lake of Fire by yourself than
drag a whole congregation and some Freemasons along with you.
Jesus made this clear in His day "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against Me, for you neither
go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in."
If I can discover all this information, any minister can do the same and
should do so.
I say this kindly - but for the grace of God and circumstances, I could have
been caught up in this Luciferian plot myself.
8|Page
The author of this book is not God and we can rest assured that those whose
hearts are genuinely towards the true God, both Masons and non-Masons, will
(at some time throughout their lives) be given an opportunity to repent and
turn to God's Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Who really knows what takes place in those last few seconds before death?
Advice - Advice
Men, face it. The moment they hoodwinked you, it was not only a physical
event. It was a spiritual hoodwinking also. As you drew your thumb across
your throat and uttered those dreadful words, you put a curse on the
following:
a. yourself
b. your wife
c. your descendants to the third and fourth generations
"I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." 7
Only Jesus Christ the Lord can break the curses. The prayer of renunciation
needs to be prayed with witnesses (see prayer at the end of this chapter.)
Fruit of Masonic Curses
1. The man's wife becoming increasingly lonely and angry as the husband is
apparently continually 'out with the boys'.
2. The wife and children open to spiritual attack, and nightmares.
3. The wife can have feelings of insecurity and creepiness while her husband is
at the Lodge meeting.
4. Alienation within the family.
5. Children disobedient and hard to control.
6. Restlessness, mental confusion.
7. Financial problems.
8. Covert sexual deviancy and frigidity.
9. Mistrust and lack of compassion.
10. Physical ailments especially in the three main areas connected to the
Masonic oaths, which open a man and his family up to demonic influence i.e.
Throat cutting - pulmonary area; chest ripping - cardio-vascular area; stomach
slitting - bowels and related organs.

Our grateful thanks to him for this added information.
We do not need any more religion. What we now need to do is to enter
into a relationship with God Himself, through His Son Jesus Christ. He died
for you and His precious blood alone will be accepted by God as payment for
every evil thing you have ever thought or done.
Please turn immediately to the back of this book and pray the other prayer
which will help you to receive the Lord Jesus Christ who is the true Light of the
World not the illumined gnostic light of Lucifer (Satan) you opened yourself up
to when you joined Freemasonry.
Born again - this is the experience you are really seeking. Jesus said you
must be 'born again'.
Then, write a letter to the registrar of the Lodge saying "Please strike my
name from the register. I am now a 'born-again' believer in Jesus Christ as my
Lord and Saviour. I no longer require a Masonic funeral. Thank you. Yours
faithfully...."
A Formula to Follow
1. Have the candidate (either a man having taken the masonic oaths, or a
female relative who has been oppressed by these oaths) stand next to you and
repeat after you:
2. "I renounce the spirit of Freemasonry with all its oaths, secrets and
curses.
3. "I renounce every ancestral spirit of Freemasonry in my family line.
4. "I confess Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour."
(At this point, stop and ask candidate if they are truly born-again. If not, lead
them in the sinner's prayer found at the back of this book, or one of your own
involving:
10 | P a g e
a) Repentance from sin
b) Believing that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me
c) Receiving Him into my life now and confessing this with my lips. Romans
10:9-10.
5. For those in, or who have taken the oath for, the first degree - "I
renounce the spirit of the Entered Apprentice Degree as taken by me (my
father, my grandfather, etc). I renounce all these curses with the oaths in the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I reject the cutting of the throat, and the tearing
out of the tongue. This no longer belongs to me."
For those in, or who have taken the oath for, the second degree - "In the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I renounce the oath and the curses of the
second degree as taken by (insert name). I reject the tearing open of the chest,
and the ripping out of the heart. This curse no longer belongs to me."
For those in, or who have taken the oath for, the third degree - "In the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I renounce all the curses connected with the
oath of the third degree. I reject the slitting open of the stomach, the tearing
out of the bowels and the burning of them to ashes."
I reject the demonic name Ma Ha Bone.
I reject the spirit of death from the death blows to the head.
I reject falling into the stretcher and observing the death symbols.
I reject the blasphemous kissing of the Bible, on a witchcraft oath.
I reject the spirit behind a false resurrection. Only Christ rose from the dead
of His own free will.
For those in, or who have taken the oath for, the Royal Arch degree "In the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I renounce the false, secret name of God.
I reject Jah Bul On as the demonic monster that he is.
He is not the living and true God.
The God that I worship is the Lord.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is my God and my Father through the new birth.
I renounce with my lips, any other subsequent oath or curse taken by .... and
I confess that Lucifer will go to the lake of fire where he will burn forever.
My Lord Jesus Christ is in heaven from whence He will reign forever over all King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Leader, then invite candidate to breathe out gently, long breaths. As he
continues like this, leader should speak to the spirits a) "In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ whom I serve, I speak to the spirit of
the Entered Apprentice degree. Come out on the breath and set.....(insert
11 | P a g e
name) free in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Name of Jesus, I break
this oath and this curse over .....'s (insert name) life and pronounce him/her
free.
b) I come against the spirit of the second degree in the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. I break the oath and the curses of the second degree in Jesus'
Name. You are no longer welcome here - come out on the breath.
c) I speak to the demonic spirit of the third degree with the oath and the
curses. I release .....(insert name) from these cursed things, in the Name of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Set him/her free now. His/her body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost. You have no right to be in him/her. Leave on the breath, now in Jesus'
Name. Spirit of death, leave him/her.
d) In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come against the false name of
God. Jah Bul On is false. You devil, come out in Jesus' Name. I set this
man/woman free in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. What God hath
cleansed, let no man call unclean. Praise the Lord!"
You may also need to pray over his/her family.

As more and more people become aware of the Luciferian aspects in
Freemasonry, they are pulling out, and the Lodge is seeking new members.
If you belong to Rotary, Lions, the local yacht club, etc, do not be surprised if
you receive an invitation to attend an open night.
Although not encouraged years ago, a subtle form of recruiting is now taking
place.
