There is an unwritten rule that no conspiracy is legitimate unless it involves the Freemasons. ;-)
This thread is KILLING me.
LMAO
Romantic nationalism? I suppose it would be better if the Jews stood still long enough so they could finally be properly killed off... < /sarcasm >
I sure wish people would heed that old advice that says, "If you're stupid, don't wear a sign advertising it." But then, again, some times they're just too stupid to know they're stupid.
Paranoia will destroya.
I think he is LaRouche’s paranoid brother!
Isn’t it wonderful how ignorance creates bliss?
Yes, indeed.
If Masons spent as much time & energy talking about or worrying about the Catholic Church, as it seems some Catholics do talking about & worrying about the Masons, they might have a point.
I wonder what the Church’s position is on the Build-a-burgers, cuz I never see any of these same kind of screeds against them & they seem to be a double-double secret organization, real Trilateral Commission stuff.
All we worry about is if the Knights of Columbus guys will bring enough beer for the cook-out this time.
Ah-Ha! Y'all are trying to get them drunk, so ya can take advantage of 'em. ;o)
No, we have too many Baptist/Pentacostal members who are too chicken to buy beer themselves. ;-)
(Really, one of the KOC guys owns the local beer distributor.)
LOL

Always good to know the *right* people. ;o)
yea, i know quite a few. a good friend of mine (episcopalian) was a worshipful master of his lodge. I know masonry is very big in the military and in law enforcement, in NJ, many of the troopers are masons, (it's easier to get promoted) as well as many of the sheriff’s officers and they are CATHOLIC. They have their own group within the masons called The Square Club.
Yeah, the Masons near me are real threatening alright. Most of them are 75 years +, driving increasingly broken down cars and their temple is literally falling apart. Im intimidated. >>>
Most are OK, until you get shot. The incident in long island was all over the NYC news, for a very brief time. Some lodges go way above and beyond pinching the naked left breast.

some people will write or say anything and put anything on a silly website, the Freemasons do NOT reveal their lists. Some people say that EVERY president was a Freemason which is ludicrous because Kennedy was catholic and in the 1800’s, there was a time of anti freemasonry. Clinton was not a Freemason, Jerry Ford was the last Freemason, only 14 presidents were Freemasons and since the 1700’s NO Catholic priest ever became a Freemason.

Of course not. Many freemasons hardly keep their membership secret, though.

I’ve always heard the legend as “Every president EXCEPT Kennedy was a freemason.” (You have to pause when you say that to try to emote, “... and you know what they did to him!”) But we agree it’s a ridiculous assertion.
>> Clinton was not a Freemason, Jerry Ford was the last Freemason, only 14 presidents were Freemasons and since the 1700s NO Catholic priest ever became a Freemason. <<
These statements are all unknowable, since, as you point out, Freemasons don’t publish their membership lists. Clinton and Nixon appear not to have been masons.
Reagan supposedly was made an “honorary” mason by the Grand Lodge of Washington, DC on February 11th, 1988, which, if true, would sort of only prove that he hadn’t been a mason previously.
President Bush (the father), Warren G. Harding, Dwight Eisenhower and Jimmy Carter took their oaths of office on Washington’s bible, which is owned by a masonic lodge.
This is all according to the MasterMason.com web site, which appears to be a web portal for the official web sites of many masonic lodges.
