I’ve been a Mason for 20 years, Past Master, 32°, Scottish Rite & York Rite. I don’t have any juicy secrets (like “33° Masons control the price of Ovaltine”), and I’m of the view that we’re / they’re mostly harmless. That said, I’m disillusioned. The Brotherhood is broken and not fulfilling what they promise to their craftsmen, which is to make good men better. It’s become one big LARP that sucks free time and money from its members and gives nothing back to the Brothers, their families, communities, or the world.
They broke their oath, I’ll break mine. Ask me anything. Or nothing.
How integral is Albert Pike to today's Freemasons? Have you read morals and dogma? What do you think of Pikes use of hegelian dialectics?
If I can speak plainly, if there WAS a conspiracy to control the population then why is masonry complicit in Zionist overthrow of the system? It doesn't seem like masons are in charge of anything. To put it another way. The zionist coup seems counterproductive to any notion of "freedom" I can muster. Do masons regret playing nice with the jews? How do you "square" the ideals of the founding fathers with what we see in America today?
To be honest I’ve never seen anyone mention him in or about lodge. I had (might still have) a couple of his books. I read M&D, but sadly it’s pretty lost in memory fog.
As for Zionism... I’d like to know more myself. While I’m Jewish by blood I’m pretty anti-Zionism, and pretty much think Israel is the root of a lot of... things. But I’ve never really looked into the connection between Masonry and Zionism. For what it’s worth, there’s a lodge that’s almost entirely all Jews in New Haven, CT (Cosmopolitan lodge). And founding fathers.. I think they had the right idea. Deism and such, and they didn’t know how to structure a government so they based it loosely on Masonic governance. Let’s put it this way, it’s oddly familiar to hear the oath of office that representatives swear.

This is the best resource I've found to put together all the incongruous information about the world wars. An inside man, if you will.
I meant no offense. When I say "jew" I really mean zionist. My understanding is they've wormed their way into the structure and are pretending to represent all, as Catholics are famous for with their pedophiles. I take the name of a courageous jew here to remind me not to hate everyone.
You weren't traditionally raised? Do you/have you practiced kol nidre on the day of atonement?
I’ll check that out, thanks.
No offense taken, I’m an adult. ?
I was raised the complete opposite of anything traditional. My atheist pretend-Jew mom (the Jewish side of the family) sent me to synagogue to make her parents happy, but told me “oh just pretend there’s a God.” Meanwhile I had genuine curiosity about God, spirituality, etc. I probably would’ve (and I’ve attended synagogue a few times as an adult). I even toyed with studying Chabbad.
