Tasks and goals of Freemasonry. The Ultimate Ideal of Freemasonry
Based on the study of secret Masonic archives, the book reveals the secret and unknown pages of the history of Russian and foreign Freemasonry. The book proves that the secret rituals and political activities of Freemasonry are an ideological continuation of Judaism, and all its members - employees of Masonic lodges - are ritual participants in the construction of Solomon's temple. From the repository of the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France, the German national lodge, where Russian Masons secretly sent their reports, documents were extracted and published for the first time, allowing a fresh look at many events in Russian and world history, assessing the influence of Judaism and Zionism on it.

Extracts from Masonic Documents, Books and Magazines
1. “Masonry is a secret union that is higher and stronger than all vocations, parties, nationalities and religions” (definition by Gable d’Allbielar, Mason of the 33rd degree).
2. Mason McKay writes: “It is clear that there is no unity in ritual, but this difference does not interfere with the universality of Freemasonry. The ritual is only the outer form. The doctrine of Freemasonry is everywhere the same. This unchanging body, which remains the same everywhere, at least consoles us that while the ceremony or ritual has changed and is still changing in different countries at different periods, the science, philosophy, symbolism and religion of Freemasonry continue to be the same everywhere, where true Freemasonry is practiced. Freemasonry, he says, "unites people of the most opposite opinions into one fraternal society (fraternal orchestra), which gives the same language to people of all nations and one altar to people of all religions", therefore this connection is rightly called the "Mystical Arcana", and Freemasons, being united under its influence or benefiting from it, are called "Brothers of the Mystic Loop."
The generally recognized Masonic authority, Brother Raton, states: “The main character of Freemasonry is internationalism. Freemasonry is one, and any ritual or nation that deviates from this principle is mistaken and departs from the Masonic path ... We do not understand real Freemasonry, which could be called English, Scottish, French, American, etc. Is there English, Scottish, French mathematics? No, there is only mathematics and also there is only Freemasonry. Certain features in rituals, ceremonies and forms of reception are not sufficient to nationalize Freemasonry, despite its claim to be international.
Freemasonry is one, and the strife between the various rituals is only ostentatious, for the general public. Belonging to this ritual by no means excludes this "brother" from another ritual, allegedly hostile to him. Every Mason of the highest degree possesses the first three degrees and, as a master, is a full member of any lodge on the globe. Every Freemason, no matter what federation he belongs to, must therefore bear full responsibility for the anti-Christian and anti-state work that is being carried out by the one world Masonic order, and whoever hides from this responsibility behind national ritual labels, either deceives himself, or admits deliberate falsehood.

3. In the journal "Revue International de Societe Secrete" in No. 5 for 1929, the full text of the manifesto of the Masonic center - "Manifesto of the OTO" was printed. Here are the most interesting passages from this manifesto:
- OTO means Ordo Templi Orientis - Order of the Temple of the East.
- The OTO is a community of initiates, at whose disposal the wisdom and knowledge of the following societies are concentrated: 1) the Catholic Gnostic Church; 2) Order of the Knights of the Holy Spirit; 3) the Order of the Illuminati; 4) Order of the Temple of the Knights Templar; 5) the Order of the Knights of St. John; 6) the Order of the Knights of Malta (the editors of the Catholic magazine Revue Internacional de Societe Secrete (the editor who exposes the Masons is, as you know, the Catholic prelate) makes a reservation that the orders shown in the Masonic list: the Knights of Malta and the Holy Sepulcher are occult orders, bearing the names of the Catholic orders of the same name, which, of course, are not members of Freemasonry); 7) Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher; 8) the occult Church of the Holy Grail; 9) Hermetic Brotherhood of Light; 10) Holy Order of the Rose Cross of Eredon; 11) Order of the Holy Royal Code of Enoch; 12) the ritual of ancient and primary Freemasonry (33rd degree); 13) the ritual of Memphis (97th degree); 14) the ritual of Mizraim (90th degree); 15) Svedenberg's ritual; 16) Scottish Masonic ritual, ancient and accepted (33rd degree); 17) the Martinist Order; 18) Order of Sat. Bhai and many other orders of equal merit, though not of equal importance. This list does not include A.A. (A.A. means "Adepts of Atlanta"), whose sovereign society is, however, in close alliance with the UTO - "The UTO in no way arrogates to itself the privileges of other Masonic societies duly established."
- Since the independent dissemination of such wisdom led to confusion, the heads of these different orders decided to reorganize, uniting their actions just as a white ray of light is restored by decomposition through a prism, the order covers all the secret knowledge of the orders of the East, and its heads are initiates of the highest degree, recognized such by all those authorized to do so in all countries of the world. Karl Kellner revived the esoteric organization of the OTO and conceived a fortunately implemented plan for the gathering of all secret societies under a single authority.
– The Order is international and has its branches in all civilized countries.
– The true goals of the OTO can be revealed only to the initiated, but it can be said to everyone that the order teaches the science of Hermes or secret knowledge, pure and Holy Magic of Light, the secrets of mysticism, yoga, paradise yoga, blaka yoga and all other branches of the secret wisdom of the ancients. Great mysteries are in its depths, its head has resolved all questions of philosophy and life. He opened, moreover, in every important population center a Hidden Sanctuary (Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum), where members may take refuge in order to carry out the Great Work unhindered. These houses are secret fortresses of Truth, Light, Power and Love, and their location is revealed to those who have the right to know only under an oath of secrecy. These houses are also temples of true adoration, ostentatiously consecrated to Nature, and designed to bring out in man all that is best in him.
- The power in the OTO is concentrated in IT (IT means - the Supreme Head of the Order). The name of the person who occupies this post is never revealed to anyone except his direct representatives.
- The authority in the OTO is delegated for all countries of the English language by a special Charter to the Most Holy, Most Illustrious, Most Enlightened and Most Powerful Baphomet X Rex Summus Sanctissimus, 33rd, 99th, 96th degrees, Grand Master Honorary of the United States of America, Grand Master of Ireland, Jonah and Rey of Britain, Grand Master of the Knights of the Holy Spirit, Sovereign of the Code of Enoch, Sovereign of the Order of the Rose Cross, Grand Zoravabel of the Order, etc., etc., Grand Master - the general national representative of the OTO.
Reading this set of magnificent titles and titles, it seems that you are dealing either with a buffoon's farce, or with the work of a sick mind, stricken with megalomania. But the reality testifies that all these most holy X-th Baphomets not only exist, but also act, and how they act!
4. Democracy is preached in the lower and middle levels of Freemasonry; at the top, personal dictatorship dominates, surrounded by impenetrable secrecy. “Masonry,” said one Masonic speaker at the Masonic Convention of 1893, “has no intention of applying in its own midst the doctrine of individual freedom and independence, the necessity of which it preaches in the uninitiated world. Freemasonry is an organism of struggle and, as such, it is compelled to subject its members to the rules of discipline necessary for struggle."
5. Secrecy and conspiracy are the very essence of Freemasonry. The German Grand Lodge Manifesto of 1794 states: "The purpose of the Order must be its first secret: the world is not strong enough to bear the discovery of the purpose."
6. Yu. Gessen in the article "Freemasonry" (Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron) states that the main goal of Freemasonry is "moral improvement and philanthropy and that it has nothing to do with "sedition"".
7. But here is what the head of the Martinist order before the First World War, a mason of high dedication Papus, writes in the book “The Genesis and Development of Masonic Symbols”, published in 1911 in St. Petersburg, in the printing house of the St. Petersburg solitary prison. (That's even where the Freemasons in the tsarist time had their people!): The main goal of Freemasonry, according to Papus, is "revenge on all those responsible for the destruction of Solomon's temple." About the Order of the Templars, Papus writes that he is nothing but the Order of the Temple, “which continues the temple of Solomon. The true aims of Freemasonry are known only to the initiates of the highest degrees.
8. “Only at the degree of the Knight of the Temple (which has partly passed into Kadosh), – writes Papus, – the one entering the society was truly initiated into the Avengers of the Order. In this way, the initiation was transformed into a political war, in which the Martinists always refused to participate. “The details of initiation into the Kadosh degree ... indicate that this degree is the synthesis of all vengeance and the realization on Earth of that terrible bloody book, which very often invisibly opens when God allows the hellish forces to declare Himself.”
9. “Masonry,” admits Papus, “has always been a great initiator of political and social reforms. For its members, it breaks down boundaries and prejudices about race and color, it destroys the personal and corporate privileges that stifle the bankrupt intelligentsia, it supports the age-old struggle against obscurantism in every possible way.
Papus' confessions, as we see, completely refute the false assertion of J. Hessen that Freemasonry allegedly has nothing to do with revolutionary movements and revolutions. World revolution and the creation of a world state as a result of it - this is the true goal of world Freemasonry.
10. In the name of the victory of Freemasonry, every Freemason has the right to do as he pleases, completely disregarding ordinary morality. The Freemason philosopher Diderot argued: "Lying is so little reprehensible and in essence it would become a virtue if it could be useful."
11. In the text of the oath given by the Mason Raton
“Knight Kadosh”, for example, it says: “You swear and promise to do, speak and write at any time and in any place, every time what will be prescribed to you by the orders of the legitimate authority, which authority you swear to obey, although it is up to you is now unknown and may remain unknown for a long time to come" (see: Ragon. Orthodox Freemasonry).
12. The Mason Lhermitte, in a paper read at the Masonic Convention of 1912, stated: “Doubleness is a necessary moral element. Without it, social life is impossible.”
13. Mason Raynal says: “To be virtuous is to be useful; to be vicious is to be harmful. That's the whole moral."
14. “Some of the symbols are explained to the beginner, but he is deliberately deceived by false explanations. They do not strive for him to understand them, but only for him to imagine that he understands them. Their real interpretation is for adepts, for the princes of Freemasonry." So writes Pick, one of the Doctors of Masonic occult knowledge.
15. “Masonry,” writes the same Pick, “like all religions, all mysteries, hermeticism and alchemy, hides its secrets from all but adepts, scientists or the elect, and uses false explanations and interpretations of its symbols in order to deceive those who deserve to be deceived; to hide from them the true, as they say, light.
6. The instruction to a fellow in the ritual of the Three Globes lodge says: “The novice Mason should never forget that almost every symbol of the order has a double meaning: one is moral, the other is mystical ... The mystical meaning partly concerns the interior of the order, partly its stories. The student is given only hints, never an exact explanation, since the most insignificant point cannot be fully explained and understood without understanding the totality.
17. The well-known freemason Voltaire once said: “Let's crush the scoundrel,” that is, religion. This famous phrase resonates in Masonic circles to this day.
18. The Spanish revolutionary Freemason Francisco Ferrero, in a catechism for secular schools, writes: "God is only a childish concept, caused by a sense of fear."
19. Down with the Crucified! You, who for 18 centuries have been holding the world hunched under Your yoke, Your kingdom is over ... God is not needed.
20. “The triumph of the Galilean lasted 20 centuries. He dies in turn. The mysterious voice that once announced from the mountains of Epirus the death of Pan informs us today of the death of the Deceiver God, who promised an era of justice and peace to those who believe in him. The illusion lasted too long. He disappears in turn, God is a liar. He joins the dust of the ages, other deities of India, Egypt, Greece and Rome, who also saw many creatures deceived by them, lying prostrate before their altars.
Brother Freemasons, we should be pleased that we are not strangers to this fall of false gods.
21. “Christianity is an obscene blasphemy against the bright image of God,” writes the Masonic Italian Review.
22. The Belgian Freemason Kok declared at the International Masonic Congress in Paris: “What we need to destroy is religion, dogmas”, and further: “Through propaganda and even through administrative acts we will achieve that we can crush religion.”
23. "Our goal is not to restore individualism, but to sweep Christianity off the face of the earth," said the founder of the Theosophical Society, Blavatsky.
Kabbalistic tree of Freemasonry
24. “Atheist is one of the most glorious titles of mankind, the insignia of world heroes… martyrs… saviors of the world. No philosophy, no theology has brought the world anything worthy in comparison with the good news of atheism ... honor and glory to these advanced fighters of progress, to this honorary vanguard of the army of freedom. Honor and glory to him who, in his zeal for man, has forgotten God,” says the theosophist Anna Besant.
25. "Masonry is an anti-church, a church of heresy" - such a statement can be read in the French Masonic magazine Acacia.
26. "The struggle between the Church and Freemasonry," said the Grand Master of the Belgian Masons Koega at the congress of the Great East in 1900 in Brussels, "is a struggle not for life, but for death."
27. In the declaration of the Council of the Order of the Grand Orient of France it is written: "Masonry does not recognize any truths, except those based on reason and science."
28. In the book of the Freemason Clavel, "A Colorful History of Freemasonry," it is stated: "The Knight of the Sun (28th degree) has the task of establishing a natural religion on the ruins of the Christian religions that now exist."
29. The following words of Masonic leaders are significant: “Let us recall that Christianity and Freemasonry are absolutely irreconcilable, so much so that to join one means to break with the other. In this case, the Freemason has one duty - you must boldly go to the arena of struggle and fight. “Let us work, we will spin with dexterous and careful hands that shroud that will one day cover all religions, and then we will contribute to the destruction throughout the world of clericalism and the superstition that comes from it,” says a member of the convention of the Grand Lodge of France. Such expressions could be cited as many as you like, since not a single Masonic meeting can do without attacks against religion.
30. “I am deeply convinced,” wrote the German freemason K. von Gagern in the “Freimauer Zeitung,” that the time will come and must come when atheism becomes a universal principle.” The editor of this newspaper, the freemason pastor Zille, once wrote that "only idiots and feebleminded still dream of God and the immortality of the soul."
31. In 1912, Freemason Lebe explained the goal pursued by Freemasonry in relation to religion: “You feel the need to do away with the Church once and for all, with all the Churches. Until we achieve this, we will not be able to work productively or build anything.”
32. In 1913, the Freemason Sicard de Plozol declared: “There is one peace that we cannot conclude, one disarmament that we cannot agree to, there is one war that we must tirelessly continue until victory or death, this is a war against today's enemies of Freemasonry and the Republic, enemies of freedom of conscience, enemies of reason, science and human justice, and these enemies are all dogmas, all Churches.
33. In the report of the Convention of the Grand Orient of France, held in 1923, there is the following call from one of the Masons: “Let us destroy this symbol of horror and abomination, this center of world atrocity and resume the constant struggle ... let us wage war on all religions, since they are real enemies of humanity."
34. The 1893 Convention decreed: "No Mason may be elected as a member of the council of the order, unless he has previously pledged in writing for himself and his minor children not to perform Christian rites."
35. “Freedom of conscience is the basic idea of Freemasonry. The Masonic order is, in essence, anti-church, since the clergy impose their own dogmas and tolerances.
36. "Masonry must proclaim that between it and dogma there is an irreconcilable, radical opposition that does not allow any tolerance."
37. “Dogma is an instrument of domination and conquest: one must wage war against dogma” (brother A. Maresho).
38. “Freemasonry, alien to mysticism, denying the principle of authority, deeply rationalistic, is not only a definite social association. Freemasonry is anti-Church… The struggle against the Church will end when the separation of the Church from the state becomes a fait accompli, when the Church turns into a private association.”
39. "It is not enough to defeat the influence of the clergy and deprive the Church of authority ... it is necessary to destroy religion itself."
40. "Triangle instead of the cross, bed instead of the church."
41. All the above excerpts prove the validity of A. A. Borovoy’s statement in the book “Modern Freemasonry in the West”: reveal a complete intolerance towards the Church and the clergy.
42. The tactics of Freemasonry in planting atheism is as follows. Freemasons are gradually accustomed to anti-Christianity, at first they are told: "Masonry is not a church, not a religion, and in order to be truly religiously tolerant, the mention of the name of Christ must be avoided."
43. When a young Freemason becomes accustomed to not mentioning the Name of Christ, after that he is taught to think that Freemasonry is wider than any church, since it reduces all religions into a single, common religion. When the Mason is imbued with this thought, then he proceeds to the deification of man.
44. “For those who cannot renounce faith in Christ,” wrote the Illuminati Knigge to the Illuminati Zwak, “we will establish that Christ also preached a religion of nature and reason, we will add that this simple religion has been perverted, but that we are her successors through Freemasonry and natural followers of true Christianity, then it remains to add a few words against the clergy and monarchs.
45. Freemasons' confessions that the main goal of Freemasonry is the destruction of Christianity and other religions can fill a vast volume. Masons want to destroy all religions, except for one, which is professed by the creators and real organizers of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry and the cult of Lucifer
46. One cannot, of course, assert that all Freemasons are worshipers of the devil. “However,” as Farah rightly states in Freemasonry and Its Activities, “Luciferianism is undoubtedly a cult prevalent among Freemasons and represents the logical conclusion of their anti-Christian program. It goes without saying that this cult is hidden just as carefully by the Masonic brothers as was once hidden by their ancestors, the Templars, but still, although very rarely, this dark question is raised in the speeches of the Freemasons.
“It should be noted,” Metropolitan Anthony writes in his Epistle on Freemasonry, “that Freemasonry in its rituals, initiations and symbolism is clearly blasphemous. So, for example, the box of the 18th degree (Rosicrucian) is decorated with the image of Golgotha. A rose is depicted on the cross, above which is placed a mysterious Jewish inscription: “I. H.P.I.” The session of the lodge opens at the hour when the veil of the church is torn in two. The ceremony ends with a sacrilegious reenactment of the Last Supper. Some Freemasons claim to be servants of Satan."
There are various societies associated with Freemasonry that profess the cult of Lucifer. In them, work is no longer carried out “not for the glory of the Great Builder of the Universe” (as in both lower degrees of Freemasonry), and there they already openly proclaim: “Glory and love to Lucifer.”
“In these societies,” writes the former Mason Copen-Albanselli, “it is preached that everything that the Christian God commands is unpleasant to Lucifer, but, on the contrary, everything that He forbids is pleasant to him; therefore, everything that the Christian God forbids must be done, and everything that He commands must be guarded like fire. This society is a direct school of depravity, which surpasses everything that can be imagined.
The great architect of the universe is an ennobled image of Satan
47. In a report on Masonic morality, Brother Lerment, a member of the Alsace-Lorraine lodge, says: “In this way I tried to destroy or undermine your moral principles. This is a satanic role, and Christians are not so wrong in blaming philosophers and especially us.”
48. The prominent Freemason Oswald Wirth, in his report "Initiation and Spiritualism", said: "The connection of Freemasonry with Lucifer, the head of the rebellious angels ... is quite acceptable." In Wirth's view, Lucifer rebels against God because of "the flagrant injustices of divine administration. In essence, the angel of Light (Lucifer) represents the spirit of freedom. In this sense, Freemasonry fully accepts Luciferianism.
49. “We Freemasons,” says the alto master Brocklin of Lessing Lodge, “belong to the lineage of Lucifer. Triangle instead of a cross. Lodge instead of church.
50. “Of course,” writes Metropolitan Anthony in his Epistle on Freemasonry, “the Masons hide the existence of such blasphemous rituals, nevertheless, they take place at the top of some Masonic lodges.”
51. In 1889, in Rome, during the opening of the monument to Giordano Bruno, Italian Masons openly glorified Satan. The Vatican newspaper protested against the glorification of Satan, called "The banners of the prince of hell move forward."
52. The organ of Italian Freemasonry responded to the article placed in the official Vatican: “Well, well. Yes, yes - the banners of hell are moving forward and there is no conscious person who loves his homeland, who would not stand under these banners, under these banners of Freemasonry.
53. In volume X of the Review of Italian Freemasonry, it was printed: “The genius of the Coming, our own God, lays in us the germ of a new law of good ... The soul of our god rejects the need for the social good to free man from his bestiality, for the social good is in reality not something else, as a consequence of human animality. The now collapsing public knowledge needs a cornerstone (triangular) stone, and this stone will be laid by our god. And not in heaven, but on earth, a place for this stone.
Come, all you who suffer, and bow down to the Genius-Renovator, raise your forehead higher, my brethren, Masons, for he is coming - the great Satan!
54. In Ancona, the Italian Freemasons published the magazine Lucifer, in which they openly declared: "Our leader is Satan."
55. On June 22, 1883, at the opening of the monument to Mazzini, Italian Masons carried a black banner, the shaft of which was crowned with a statuette of Lucifer.
56. In the Journal of the Grand Orient of Italy, the following praise of Satan was placed: “I call on Thee, Satan, king of feasts. Down, priest, your sacred water and your prayers. And You, Satan, do not step back... In never-resting matter You are the living sun, the king of natural phenomena... Satan, You defeated the God of the priests!”
57. The usual method of Freemasons for the purpose of glorifying Satan is this. First, they call Satan not Satan, but Lucifer, good god and other names. And calling Satan Lucifer, they seek to prove that Lucifer - fallen Angel and the devil of Christians are not the same thing.
Agni Yogi - the Fiery Mother, the wife of the mason Roerich, herself, probably a mason, explains who Satan is in the article “God and Satan”: “There are places in the Secret Teaching that explain this meaning. So, Satan, when he is no longer considered in the superstitious, dogmatic and philosophic spirit of the churches, grows into a majestic image of the one who creates from the earthly man - the divine; who gives him the law of the Spirit of Life throughout the long cycle of Mahahalpa and frees him from sin and death…”
Freemasonry official program
58. “Masonry is a profoundly philanthropic, philosophical and progressive institution. It aims to search for truth, study world morality and apply the principle of solidarity. Freemasonry works on material and moral progress, on the mental and social improvement of mankind. Its principles are: mutual tolerance, respect for one's own and others' dignity, complete freedom of conscience. Freemasonry, believing that metaphysical concepts are a personal matter for everyone, refuses dogmatic statements. Its motto is “liberty, equality and brotherhood” (v. 1).
Freemasonry respects the religious beliefs and political convictions of its members, but it strictly forbids during its meetings any discourse on religious and political topics concerning criticism of various religions, government actions and virtues. different forms board.
Freemasonry reminds its followers that their first duty as Freemasons and as citizens is to respect the laws of the country in which they live (v. 2).
Since Freemasonry desires to create between all its people such bonds of brotherhood, which are connected by Masons all over the globe, then Masonic propaganda by word, deed and by press is imputed to all Masons (v. 4).
Enjoining every Mason under every circumstance to help, inform, and support his brother, even at the risk of his own life, and defend him from injustice (v. 5).”
59. We find the same confession in the constitution of the Grand Lodge of France: “Freemasonry is a worldwide union based on solidarity ... E (if Freemasonry is the moral perfection of mankind. Its motto is Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. In the eyes of Freemasonry, all followers are equal, regardless on national, racial, religious differences, on differences in status, rank, position ... Freemasonry affirms the principles of universal morality, equally acceptable to all peoples in all conditions. It does not set any boundaries in the search for truth. Therefore, it is against the establishment of any dogmas or requirements of belonging to a certain belief... Every Freemason is free and is guided only by the dictates of his conscience.Masons practice the widest tolerance also in the philosophical and religious field, both in the political and social.
The true aims of Freemasonry must be hidden
60. “The distinguishing quality of every good Mason is, no doubt, restrained silence, which should be a direct consequence of strict observance of discipline ... Under prudent silence, we must understand the restraint and caution that we must observe in our relations with those who are not initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry, when the question concerns our studies, our assumptions and our hopes... Let us take the example of the ancients, who jealously guarded the secrets of their secrets... Why were their decrees not written down anywhere? Why were traitors, indiscreet talkers and apostates punishable by death? But because they knew, my brethren, that the greatest and noblest ideas are more pure when they are propagated by the initiates alone. Because they knew that everything that is mysterious and inaccessible to everyone and everyone has much more prestige in the eyes of the people and that an institution that knows the moods and aspirations of the surrounding society at a time when it is itself unknown to the latter has irresistible power, for no foreign element alters or distorts his decision. No obstacle delays its execution, and as a result it does its work with wise slowness, but with the fidelity of a drop of water chiselling granite. Let us be restrained, following the example of the ancients, my brethren, and we will be glorified by serving the worldwide Freemasonry” (“Noveliste de Bordeaux”).
61. "Let's keep a secret about our members and our internal decisions: this is the veneration of the old traditions," said His Serene Grand Master of Italian Freemasonry Hector Ferrare.
62. "The Grand Orient of France regards the Masonic mystery as one of the fundamental rules of brotherhood."
63. "None of the Masons has the right to reveal among the uninitiated that one of his brothers belongs to Freemasonry."
64. "Masonry should be felt everywhere and nowhere should be obvious."
65. "It is necessary that all preparations for the struggle be known to no one and that discipline be strictly observed by all."
66. “With us, everything is based on mystery; by mystery and obedience we fight great battles and win victories.”
Preaching for all the ideas of unlimited freedom, the Freemasons themselves are controlled by a secret unlimited dictatorship.
67. “Tolerance is not a natural quality of a person, it is a product of education. And if we stand for tolerance for any sincere thought, we must demand the most inexorable discipline in the attitude of people towards each other.
68. "Masonry has not the slightest claim
to apply in its own environment some of those principles of freedom and personal independence which it requires for the uninitiated. Freemasonry is an organization of struggle, and as such it is compelled to subject its members to the demands of the discipline necessary for struggle."
69. “All reports in the press about the activities of Freemasonry and about the actions of individual brothers should be prohibited. We ask our brethren who work in the press to look after the interests of the Order first and refrain from informing the public about what is done and said in the lodges, and also from commenting on the actions and speeches of the Freemasons.
70. "We are compelled to ask the Masonic brothers to give our fraternal criticism everything they say or write for viewing."
71. Article 135 of the constitution of Italian Freemasonry states: “It is forbidden both to lodges and to every brother, whatever his degree, except the Grand Master and the Chief of Rite, to publish, on any occasion and by whatever means, documents , acts, circulars relating to Freemasonry, before written permission is received for this from the Grand Master.
Genuine Freemasonry Program
72. When the position of Freemasonry in Europe was finally strengthened, the Freemasons canceled the clauses of their statutes, which indicated that Freemasons did not deal with questions of religion and politics. At a meeting on October 21, 1854, the Lodge of the Grand Orient of Belgium repealed the 135th clause of the statute, which stated: "Lodges may in no case deal with political and religious matters."
73. Thirty years later, the Grand Lodge of France decided to cancel "as superfluous the paragraph of the constitution, according to which V. L. refuses to discuss political questions." And the decision of the Lodge of the Grand Orient of France says: “At one time there was not so much a rule as a formality to declare that Freemasonry does not deal with either religion or politics ... Under the pressure of police regulations, we were forced to hide what is our only task.”
74. “We are forbidden to debate politics and religion,” writes Mason Camille Dreyfus, “but what else can we do?”
“Against us,” the freemason Gonar said at the 1886 convention, “it is usually put up that Freemasonry is too much involved in politics, or even that it is only engaged in politics. But what else could it do?
75. “Masonic doctrine is inconceivable outside the confession of freedom of conscience. And this confession instills in Freemasonry enmity towards the Church, since the Church, in essence, is the denial of freedom of conscience…”
76. "The value of a civilization is inversely proportional to its religiosity, the future belongs to science."
77. “Society is always divided into two camps, two Churches, two groups. One - more extensive, prevailing in the past, prevailing even now, consists of believers; the other, less significant, is from the rationalists. The former blindly believe, the latter subject everyone to criticism of reason. The former speak out for individual power, oligarchy, the beginning of authority in politics and social economy, the latter for democracy and liberal reform in the political field, for progress in the field of social economy ... The whole history of civilized peoples is imbued with this struggle, the world owes progress to it alone.
78. “Everything happens in the world as if God does not exist… The word “God” does not explain anything; if there are riddles in the world, there is no need to multiply them with another one - God.
79. “Let us energetically support freedom of conscience in everyone, but we will not hesitate to declare war on all religions, for they are the true enemies of humanity. Throughout the centuries, they have contributed to discord between individuals and nations.
80. “Masonry must educate a person,” wrote the Review of Italian Freemasonry, “to develop human dignity in him, to make a person reasonable, loving only human. A man who would be his own God, king and pope."
81. In one of the declarations of the Council of the Grand Orient of France, it is stated: "A person either apathetic or not inclined to see the meaning in the progress of mankind cannot be a Mason." “If we look into the meaning of the principles professed by Freemasonry,” says the same declaration, “it should be recognized that it is a confession of culture, that is, faith in the progress of human civilization, manifested in the thoughts, deeds and words of each Freemason, in accordance with his individuality, freely and unrestricted.
82. “That inestimable good that humanity has won and which we must first of all protect is the thought that there is no sacred truth ... that any truth that does not come from us is a lie; that ... a secret rebellion must accompany all our statements and thoughts; that even if the idea of God were to take on a tangible form and God Himself appeared in a visible form above the crowd, then the first duty of a person would be to refuse obedience to Him and treat Him as an equal with whom one can negotiate, and not an intolerable master, which must be obeyed. This is the whole meaning, grandeur and beauty of our teaching.”
83. "Our kingdom is the kingdom of this world," said Brother A. Mintz in June 1919 at a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Vienna.
84. “Freedom of conscience is the basic idea of Freemasonry. The Masonic order is essentially anti-church, since the clergy impose their dogmas and pursue doctrines that are alien to the beliefs of the Masons.
85. "Masonry," writes the Council of the Great Orient in its declaration of 1904, "knows only truths obtained by reason and scientific research."
Propaganda of internationalism and cosmopolitanism as the main methods of decomposition of states
86. “Our societies make people indifferent to the interests of the government; they connect people of different nationalities and religions; they rob the Church and the state of the best and most energetic minds. By doing this, they undermine the foundations of the state, influence international relations and mask our activities.”
87. “Reduce, destroy the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people,” the Illuminati instructed members of their order. – Through the work of the secret philosophical schools, monarchs and nationalities will disappear from the face of the earth. Then reason will be the only legislator.”
88. “In order to conquer the minds,” says the “Instruction for obtaining the degree of leader of the Illuminati,” one must preach with great fervor the interests of all mankind and inspire indifference to the interests of its individual groups.
89. "Never forget that Freemasonry is first and foremost international," said Brother Debierry at the 1910 Convention of the Grand Orient of France.
90. At the first International Congress of Freemasons in Paris in 1889, a high-degree Freemason, Brother Amable, emphasizes that "cosmopolitanism is the main thing" in their union and that "the world democratic republic is the ideal of Freemasonry, born and expressed half a century before the revolution of 1789" .
91. At this congress it was repeatedly stated by Freemasons that the goal towards which Freemasonry aspires is an "Atheistic Republic".
Freemasonry's relation to monarchies
After Christianity, Freemasonry most of all hates the monarchical form of government, since it is organically connected with the religious worldview.
The president of the republic can be a believer, he can be an atheist. In a real monarchy, the monarch cannot be an atheist. Hating the monarchy for its religious basis, Masons strongly hate it also because in monarchies the possibilities for the development of parties are limited - this is the main tool by which Freemasonry seizes power over the democratic herd.
Jews and Freemasons create their own world order
In democratic republics founded on a clever combination of political and social lies, and these lies are based on the chimera ideas created by Freemasonry, the true masters in the final sense always turn out to be the Freemasons and the leaders of the world Freemasonry who control Freemasons. That is why, always and everywhere, Masons, no matter what ritual they belong to, always preach the republic as the best form of government.
92. “Monarchists and persons of religious conscience are not accepted at all in the Grand Orient Lodge. Each entrant must first of all be "a good Republican and a free thinker." "A true Freemason cannot be a monarchist."
93. "The bearers of state power are the enemies of Freemasonry, since state power is a more terrible tyrant than the Church."
94. "It is necessary that the persons who make up the government should be our brother Masons or be deprived of power," declared Brother Lemmy.
“The day will come when the peoples who did not have the 18th century and 1789 will fall monarchies and religions. This day is not far off, this is the day we are looking forward to.”
The rapid success of Freemasonry in Europe led to the fact that in 1747 “... among the Freemasons were already Emperor Franz I, Prince Charles of Lorraine, the brother of the Emperor, King Frederick II of Prussia, the Prince of Wales and almost all German princes; Henry of Bourbon, Count of Clermont was Grand Master of French Freemasonry with the consent of King Louis XV, and all the most important dignitaries of France belonged to Freemasonry. In all of France there was not a single significant city where the Masons did not have their own “temple” and where there were no brothers among the most prominent people parliament, tribunals, nobility, clergy, and even the Jesuits."
95. How royalty and noble persons got into Freemasonry can be seen from the confession of the well-known Italian Freemason Jew Picollo, nicknamed the Tiger. In one of the letters intercepted in 1822 of this major Freemason and the founder of the secret lodge of the Carbonari in Turin, it was written: “The Supreme Vente (Lodge) wants you, under one pretext or another, to introduce as many princes and rich people as possible into the Masonic lodges. Every prince who has no legitimate hope of obtaining the throne with the help of God seeks to obtain it with the help of the revolution. Some of them are even deprived of the throne or exiled. Flatter these seekers of popularity, prepare them for Freemasonry. The Supreme Venta will later see what can be done with them in the name of progress. Any prince without a kingdom is a good find for us. The lodge will lead him to carbonarism. Let them serve as bait for fools, intriguers, vulgar townsfolk and all kinds of businessmen. They will do our work, thinking they are doing theirs.”
Freemasons and propaganda of the republican form of government
96. "Each lodge," we read in the Bulletin of the Grand Orient de France, 1885, "is a center of republican outlook and propaganda."
97. In 1848, a member of the Provisional Government that had arisen in France, the Freemason Crémier openly declared: "The Republic is doing the same thing that Freemasonry is doing."
98. Brother Gadan declared at convention meetings beginning in 1894: "Masonry is nothing but a republic in disguise, just as a republic is nothing but Freemasonry in its open form."
99. Chairman of the Grand Orient Desmond gives the following definition of the republic: "For me, the republic means:" anti-clericalism, anti-militarism, socialism "." “Only through an alliance of the left, whose main cell will be the lodge, will we triumph,” the report of the said convention says. “We must group all the Republicans and even work out a program in alliance with the Communists.”
100. "It is enough for us to serve first of all a secular republic - democratic and social."
101. At the general meeting of the Grand Orient of France in 1923, the following toast was proclaimed by the president of the order: “For the French Republic - the daughter of French Freemasonry. For the future World Republic - the daughter of World Freemasonry.
Freemasonry and revolutions
102. Freemason and Kabbalist Papus states: "Revolutions are the application of the constitutions of Masonic lodges to society."
103. "Masonry concentrates the efforts of all revolutionary minds."
104. At the Masonic Convention of 1913, the Freemason Sicard de Plozol said: “One of the enemies of our order (namely Bordes) quite rightly says: the spirit of Freemasonry gave birth to the revolutionary spirit. This is the most valuable praise that can be given to Masonic work in the past."
105. “Masons,” says the declaration of the Grand Orient of France, issued in 1904, “prepared the Great Revolution ... it fell to their lot to give this unforgettable event a formula in which its principles were embodied: freedom, equality and fraternity.”
“After 1789, the Freemasons dispersed into clubs,” the Freemason Brunelier testifies, “indulged in political life, were elected to the popular representation and enlisted in the army; some lodges directly turned into clubs, without even changing their name, like the “Le Cercle Social” lodge ... The time for “arguments” and “science” was over - it was necessary to act. Now, according to the circumstances, the great Masonic ideas are beginning to be applied.
106. "It will never be forgotten that it was the French Revolution that carried out the Masonic principles worked out in our Masonic temples."
107. “The revolution… dug a grave to push the corpse of the past into it. And since the revolution is only the world formula of Freemasonry, everything that is true of the revolution is also true of Freemasonry.
108. After the July Revolution of 1830, the Mason of the highest degree, Dupin, said: "We staged a revolution in a few days only because we had everything ready in advance in order to immediately completely replace everything destroyed with a new system."
During the Revolution of 1830, some Freemasons make speeches in honor of Emperor Charles X, while others prepare the revolution.
The revolution was carried out in a tried and tested way, which was later applied by the Freemasons in Russia in 1917. “General Maison,” writes the former Freemason Copen, who was entrusted with the protection of the king, “suddenly showed the rear to the rebels before they showed themselves. It is known to everyone, but it is hardly known to everyone that General Maison was the senior warden of the Great East. This "small" detail contains a whole revelation, especially if you remember that in 1789 the tactic of Freemasonry was to develop a spirit of treason among the defenders of the monarchy.
Preparing the revolution of 1848 in France, the Freemasons widely resort to the organization of "banquets", which method was also successfully used by Russian Freemasons during the preparation of the revolution of 1905. The revolutionary government was Masonic, and no one except the Masons knew it (just like in Russia in 1917). Of the 11 members of the government ... 9 were Freemasons. The day after the coup, the “offended prince” Lucien Murat is proclaimed Grand Master of the Grand Orient of France. Later he was elevated to the throne by the brothers under the name of Emperor Napoleon 111. But in 1870, Freemasonry overthrew Napoleon III and proclaimed a republic.
Symbolism depicting the Masons ruling the world, as the builders of the Masonic temple
109. The Paris Commune is the work of Freemasons and revolutionary organizations associated with them. “But nowhere,” writes Farah in his study Freemasonry and Its Activities, “does it come out more prominently in its usual anti-Christian and revolutionary work than during the Paris Commune of 1871. I will not dwell on the work of Freemasonry in preparing the overthrow of the Second Empire, on its leading role in the Franco-Prussian War, on the activities of Marshal Bazaine, this plaything in the hands of the Great East, on the failures of Marshal MacMahon, in which the nephew of the former Grand Master of the Order, Lieutenant-Colonel Magnan, and I will only point out the open actions of Freemasonry after the collapse of the Second Empire and the proclamation of the commune.
“No state system has ever been as mysterious as the Third Republic,” writes Jacques Bideguin, at one time secretary of the Order of the Grand Orient of France. “The institutions that serve as its facade are only false decorations behind which things happen that are unknown to the crowd.”
BY. The official journal of the Commune on May 27 reports a solemn reception at the city hall for the deputation of Masons. "All hearts are beating in unison," says the Masonic reception report. Mason Tirifok, a member of the Commune, stated: "Masonry accepts the Commune as the basis of all social reforms." Member of the Commune and member of Masonic Lodge No. 133 Lefrancet stated that he "had long ago seen that the aims of the Commune are the same as the aims of Freemasonry." Member of the Commune Alyx said: "The Commune of Paris, in practice and in a new form, carries out what Freemasonry has long proclaimed." The celebration ended with the declaration of one of the Masons that "the Commune is the new temple of Solomon" and that the goals of the Commune and Freemasonry are the same.
111. In the newspaper published by the Commune, on May 24, the following proclamation was placed: “To Freemasons of all rituals and all degrees.
The Commune is the defender of our sacred principles, calling all to itself. You heard it, and our venerable banners were torn apart by bullets and broken by the shells of our enemies. You have responded heroically to our call, so carry on with the support of all the lodges.
The upbringing we have received in our venerable lodges will dictate to each and every one the sacred duty that we are bound to fulfill. Happy are those who triumph, glory to those who perish in this holy struggle. To arms! All for the Republic! All for the Commune!”
112. Freemasonry helped the unification of Italy and the enthronement of a representative of the Savoy dynasty. But after the unification of Italy, he immediately begins to work against the monarchy. In 1900, King Humbert was assassinated by Freemasons.
Masons and the Revolution of 1905
113. “The Black Hundreds,” asserted the Freemason Kedrin, a member of the State Duma, “are trying to convince everyone that the Liberation Movement was caused by the Freemasons. This is completely untrue." Kedrin lied, as Masons always lie. The liberation movement, which prepared the revolution of 1905, was closely connected with world and Russian freemasonry of all directions. “In Paris,” writes Tyrkova in On the Paths to Freedom, “I vaguely heard that as soon as the Liberation Movement began, Professor M. M. Kovalevsky opened a Russian lodge in Paris. It included many of my acquaintances, including my friend in the trial E.V. Anichkov.
In addition to the Masonic lodge created by Kovalevsky, by the time the Union of Liberation arose in Russia, there were several heavily conspiratorial lodges that were in obedience to the Grand Orient of France. “Those few lodges,” states the report of the Grand Orient of France for 1903, “that exist in Russia are isolated and hidden from view.”
Two lodges were in Finland, several lodges were in Poland. There were lodges of Secret Novikov Freemasonry, Rosicrucians and lodges of "mystical" Freemasonry (Martinism) and various occult and theosophical societies, which, each in its own area of work, actively fueled revolutionary sentiments. And, in the end, they prepared a revolution in 1905.
114. Almost all the leaders of the revolution that took place in Portugal in 1910 were Freemasons. The Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Belgium on February 12, 1911, declared: “Do you remember the deep feeling of pride that we all experienced when we received the news of the revolution in Portugal? .. For the uninitiated, this event was lightning from a clear sky ... but we, my brothers, were dedicated ... we knew about the excellent organization of our Portuguese brothers ... we possessed the secret of this glorious event.
115. The coup d'état in Turkey in 1908 was carried out by Turkish Freemasons, led by the Grand Orient of France. At a meeting held on June 16, 1910, at the Voltaire lodge in Paris, a member of the Turkish embassy declared that "Freemasonry has powerfully contributed to the Turkish revolution and that now all the intellectual forces of the empire are members of the numerous Masonic lodges in Turkey."
116. The Persian Revolution (1905-1910) was carried out by Persian Freemasons. We learn this from the message made by Freemason Jules Combe at the solemn honoring of Turkish Freemasons in the French lodge of Voltaire in Paris on June 16, 1910, in his report on the Persian lodge in Tehran, acting, according to him, like Russian lodges, secretly until circumstances change. . This Tehran lodge, according to Combe, alone made a revolution.
The role of Freemasons in organizing the military coup in 1917
117. “The Great Orient of France,” reported in 1911 to Comrade Minister of the Interior Kurlov from France, who was specially sent there to study the ties between Freemasonry and the Russian revolutionary movement, Col. adviser Alekseev, - has already taken the path of the widest possible assistance to the anti-government plans of Russian revolutionaries. Alekseev managed to attend a meeting of the Renaissance Masonic lodge, and he personally heard one of the Masons say: “Even the recently formidable state of the North will notice in horror how deeply the Masonic knife has stuck into it and how all the revolutionary forces will rush into the hole we have cut. ".
World, Jewish and Russian Freemasonry played a major role in preparing the military coup at the Main Headquarters in February 1917. But this is too large and extensive a topic, and we will limit ourselves to citing only a few quotations from the letters of E. Kuskova, a prominent figure in the Russian so-called "Duma" Freemasonry, published by the Menshevik G. Aronson in the book Russia on the Eve of the Revolution. “After all, the secret of the movement, the secret of this organization, has not yet been revealed. And she was HUGE. By the February Revolution, all of Russia was covered with lodges. Here, abroad, there are many members of this organization. But everyone is silent.
118. “People of high society (princes, counts, as they said then) were MANY. They behaved amazingly; I saw some of them at conventions.”
119. “Have you noticed, probably, our extensive relations with the “princes and counts”? This is a land environment. She had to be drawn to the side of the revolution. That was done. Moreover, truly friendly relations remained between us and this environment even later, after the revolution.
120. “It was necessary to conquer the military,” writes E. Kuskova to the wife of a prominent Menshevik, L. O. Dan (probably also a Freemason). - The slogan is democratic Russia and do not shoot at the demonstrating people. I had to explain a lot and for a long time - the environment is inert. There has been quite a success."
121. "There were also military men - of high rank ..."
122. “There is a lot of talk about the ‘Guchkov conspiracy. This conspiracy was. N. Volsky, to whom the letter was addressed, accompanies the statement of E. Kuskova with the following note: “Of course, I was. I myself heard this from Guchkov.
The head of the Provisional Government, Prince Lvov, and a number of its members, such as A.F. Kerensky, Guchkov, Nekrasov, Tereshchenko, and a number of prominent figures of the February Revolution, such as Efremov, V. Maklakov, and others, were Masons or Masons, such as Milyukov, Rodzianko, gene. Alekseev, Gen. Ruzsky, led. book. Nikolai Nikolaevich and similar figures of the February Revolution.
123. "Masonry, which played the greatest part in 1789," says the Bulletin of the Grand Lodge, "should always be ready to put up cadres for the revolution that might break out." "Freemasonry, to which history owes national revolutions, will also be able to produce the largest, i.e., international revolution." "The coming international revolution will be the work of Freemasonry."
Freemasonry and anti-Christian ideas
Enchanted by Masonic propaganda, people usually do not realize what a gigantic role in the destruction of Christian society has been played by anti-Christian religious, political and social ideas for centuries. It seems to them that all these anti-Christian ideas arise and exist of their own accord, that no one has ever directed or is directing the development of anti-Christian ideology. This is the deepest mistake. In fact, from the moment of the emergence of Christianity, the leaders of the anti-Christian forces, without ceasing, waged an uncompromising struggle against Christianity and the cycle of ideas associated with it.
“For 19 centuries,” writes N. A. Butmi in his study “Kabbalah, Heresies and Secret Societies,” various heresies and secret societies have been undermining Christianity and Christian civilization. The teachings of these heresies and secret societies are based more or less on the Jewish cabal." At first, this struggle was waged through various kinds of religious heresies, and later, from the moment Freemasonry was organized, through Freemasonry. “It is very interesting,” writes N. A. Boothmey, “that in England the establishment of Freemasonry coincided with the mental movement known as Deism.”
Toland, Collins, Tyndall, Shubb, and Bolingbroke were the main representatives of this movement, expressed in an ardent sermon of religious freedom, tolerance, and infallibility of Reason.
Collins in 1712, in his Discourse on Freethinking on the Origin and Development of the So-called Sect of the Freethinkers, writes: "What can reveal truth to us if not the free use of thought."
In 1720, Toland, in his work “The All-God,” expresses the following thoughts: “All is God, and God is in All, God is eternal, infinite, who was NEVER BORN and will never die, in whom all people live, move and coexist.” And further: “Reason is the only and highest law; he is the light and clarity of life.”
If Toland's battle slogan was: "No need for dogmatic teaching," and Shubba: "There is no dogmatic Christianity," then Bolingbroke's slogan was: "No need for Christianity at all."
The history of the development of anti-Christian ideas, the propaganda of Reason as the highest principle of life goes in parallel with the development of various rituals of Freemasonry. The history of Freemasonry is a humiliation of Christ and Christianity and a tireless proclamation of praise to Reason and Man.
All more or less major "free-thinking" thinkers in Europe since the emergence of Freemasonry in England were either Freemasons or were influenced by the ideas developed by Freemasons. This applies entirely to that circle French philosophers who are known as "enlighteners". Some of them, like Voltaire, were Freemasons, others were ideological students of Masonic philosophy. The worldwide success of the atheistic philosophy of the "enlighteners" is due to the systematic work of the Masonic lodges.
124. “The worldwide success of this literature,” writes the former Freemason Copen, “is usually attributed to the “sign of the times,” or the talent of the authors, or the height of the ideas preached. But at that time there were many talented writers besides the so-called encyclopedists, and they were far from enjoying the resounding success that fell to the lot of these creators of "enlightenment literature." As for the "height of ideas", now many states have become convinced by bitter experience that these ideas are simply disastrous for any human community that has adopted them. The success of "enlightenment literature" was in fact PREPARED AND ORGANIZED... Masonic lodges did the advertising for the Encyclopedists, because they belonged to Freemasonry and wrote under the inspiration of the lodges. “Special organizations were established by Freemasonry, thanks to which the works of philosophers were distributed free of charge throughout France and abroad.”
Masonic symbolism
125. In addition to these pseudo-philosophical writings, secret Masonic printing houses printed a mass of lampoons, pamphlets, epigrams, anecdotes, which appeared either without the name of the author, or under the name of the authors of the dead. Here is a frank confession from one of the Freemasons: “Most of the books that appeared at that time against religion, against morality, against government, were published by us; they were composed either by the members of the community, or by our order; before printing, we corrected or shortened them, depending on the conditions of the moment, then invented the title and the name of the author in order to hide the true origin of the book; what you thought were posthumous editions of Frere, Boulanger and others like "Christianity Unveiled" and the like, all came from our community. The corrected book we first printed on good paper in a limited number of copies in order to recoup the cost of publication, and then we produced a huge number of copies on the cheapest paper, which we sent to booksellers or peddlers. The latter, receiving them for free, undertook to distribute them among the people at the lowest possible price.
126. Voltaire wrote to Helvetius that the “Christian Pedagogue” (that was the name of the common textbook of that time) “is opposed to small philosophical books that are deftly launched; they are distributed freely to some persons, and they distribute them among young men and women.
127. “Following these books,” Voltaire wrote to Count Argental in 1766, “German youth learns to read, they become a world catechism from Baden to Moscow.”
128. The secretary of the Grand Orient of France, Vasot, said in one of his speeches: "There was not and could not be a struggle between Freemasonry and the great philosophers (Helvetius, Voltaire, Rousseau, Condorese), since their goal is the goal of both."
129. “In the 18th century,” writes the prominent Freemason Malapert, “Freemasonry was so widespread that, starting from that era, NOTHING WAS DONE OR SAID WITHOUT ITS AGREEMENT.”
130. The Masonic historian G. Martin asserts that even before the revolution of 1789, Freemasonry "controlled the opinions of parliaments."
The historian Henri Martin confirms the validity of G. Martin's statement, pointing out that in "the history of France, the lodges before the revolution of 1789 were the instruments of philosophy and the laboratories of the revolution."
131. In the "Confessions of a Sinner" by the former Freemason Pierre Challue we read: "It was the spring of 1789, when the ideas of freedom roamed in all minds; I was all the more fond of them because they were the same as the ideas that I got from Freemasonry.
What ideas did Freemasonry support and support?
Freemasonry is the cradle of most of the liberal and revolutionary teachings that have come into being since the dawn of Freemasonry. This has long been recognized by Freemasonry itself. In quotation 103 there is a significant extract from the Masonic journal Symbolism, which states that "Masonry concentrates the efforts of all revolutionary minds."
Freemasonry, even after the French Revolution, continuously supplied the ideological market with more and more anti-Christian and anti-monarchist ideas.
“Set new principles, ALL NEW PRINCIPLES, and don’t think about the consequences,” taught Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Masonic Order of the Illuminati.
132. “We will always remain fiery soldiers of the revolutionary idea. See Freemasonry not as an imitation of the philanthropic and political societies of the profane world, but as a school of practical wisdom of life,” the French Masonic magazine instructs.
And during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, Freemasonry tirelessly throws new and new anti-Christian ideas onto the market. It always supports and advertises those philosophers, sociologists, writers, religious innovators, artists and musicians who in one form or another contribute to the destruction of Christianity, Christian society and existing traditions.
All the successful teachings of the last three centuries are basically reduced to the refutation of the Revelation, the Appearance of Christ and the denial of the God-Man and the affirmation of the idea of the Man-God. Freemasonry supported only those teachings that did not contradict the following invariable dogma of Freemasonry: “Since our order exclusively wants to liberate the purely human and the person, it does not recognize any difference in the institutions of the Church, religions, but only one person.”
“By attracting the intelligentsia into its ranks,” Velikoross writes in the essay “Modern Freemasonry,” “Masonry achieves this by influencing its spiritual interests through propaganda, mainly through the press, of certain ideas useful for the purposes of the Order, clothed to raise their prestige in the form of seductive popular - scientific doctrines. Along with this, the brothers freemasons are no less concerned about developing among the general public the spirit of irreconcilable criticism and condemnation of everything that for some reason hinders the implementation of their plans.
If we take into account what a weak scientific training the modern school provides everywhere, then it becomes understandable how easy it is to take over our minds by capturing all our further education consciously perceived by us with only one press, which, in fact, is observed everywhere. Reading in the course of our lives only newspapers, which have long ousted not only a serious book, but also a solid magazine from the everyday life of the layman, we involuntarily see and understand everything only in the light in which this corresponds to the interests of our intangible mentors-editors and their higher behind-the-scenes INSPIRATORS. It is this important position that was skillfully taken into account by the occult leaders of Freemasonry when they developed methods for attracting the attention and sympathy of the masses of the intelligent public.
During most of the last century, the main agent of the dissemination of the ideas of Freemasonry is liberalism, which was revered as the highest ideal of human wisdom by the intelligent classes, who liked to adorn themselves with the title of liberals. The unquestioning fulfillment of the motto of Freemasonry "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" (Article 1 of the Charter of the Order of the Grand Orient of France) since the French Revolution was mandatory for anyone who wanted to be considered a progressively educated person.
The wide dissemination of the ideas of liberalism contributed to the success of the further steps of Freemasonry, which subsequently put forward successively opportunism, radicalism, materialism and socialism, which were met with the same enthusiasm as new revelations due to the blinding of wide circles of the intelligentsia, already accustomed to slavishly bow before everything that came from the preachers of the doctrines of liberalism.
Before the eyes of real scientists, something amazing was happening: the most difficult problems of science were developed by publicists in a whole stream of popular articles, and confidence and certainty of judgments increased precisely where there was the least competence. What serious scientists approached carefully through long and difficult research was hastily and frivolously generalized by the popularizers of knowledge in short fashionable flying words, picked up by the “advanced intelligentsia”, which thus obtained the opportunity, with the air of a competent expert, to prove, on supposedly scientific grounds, far wrong and only accepted. hearsay position. Thus, for example, speculative science was inspired by the broad masses of the materialistic worldview with the explicit goal of destroying all their idealistic foundations of life.
Any self-expressed opinion that did not agree with the teachings of the Freemasons and those who served them was subjected to the most incessant and cruel harassment, slander or silence. In this regard, an example close to us was the stigmatization of the great talents of Gogol and Dostoevsky as mentally abnormal, who dared to think differently than was pleasing to the Freemasonry seducers of the Russian intelligentsia. The world-renowned scientist D. I. Mendeleev was also completely hushed up in our country for his profound Russian views.
“When in the first years of the 20th century the unscientific nature of Darwin’s theory, so amiable to the goals of Freemasonry, and the bankruptcy of many basic provisions of the humanities (especially socialist theories and economic materialism) were proved, when some thinkers allowed themselves to declare that science did not live up to the expectations placed on it in relation to the development absolute truths and ethical foundations of conduct, when some politicians had doubts about the beneficence of the wide popularization of education and disturbing fears for the insurmountable difficulties of governing a half-educated people, then Freemasonry, enraged by such an obvious encroachment on its dogma of progress, released suffocating gases against such intolerant heresies. Science was declared in danger and divided into "real" science, consistent with Masonic ideology, and "fake" science, at odds with this ideology. Literature and art suffered the same fate.
By such methods of purely speculative science, a materialistic worldview was instilled into the broad masses with the obvious aim of destroying all their idealistic foundations of life.
The press, led by Freemasons, deliberately for this purpose was engaged in training the mind of the public in a certain direction, contemptuously ridiculing the concepts of religion, morality, honor, duty, love for the fatherland, tradition of native history. The whole meaning of the earthly existence of man was reduced exclusively to mechanical functions, closely connected with the supposedly inevitable for all world laws of evolution. Labor discipline, striving for order, subordination to the whole, diligence, thrift, property were presented as backward reactionary concepts that only prevent the masses of the people from enjoying their earthly life pleasantly and cheerfully.
The preaching of all these doctrines Freemasonry puts itself in a special merit as the desire to establish the dominion of liberal progress beneficial to mankind.
Freemasonry, occultism and theosophy
“But now,” Velikoross writes, “at the beginning of the 20th century, among the most independent thinking part of the intelligentsia, who had lost faith in the scientific immutability of the doctrines of economic liberalism, searches appeared in the problems of mystical intuitions. Immediately, this movement also finds its speculator in the face of the same Freemasonry, which very carefully and skillfully uses this turn for its plans. An unprecedentedly wide popularity among the helplessly wandering, semi-educated masses of the intelligentsia is created by means of advertising for precisely those scientists and theosophists whose preaching is especially close to the ideas of Freemasonry. Thus, for example, the French Jew Henri Bergson, a fashionable at one time “prince of the philosophy of modernity,” appeared, at whose lectures at the College de France in Paris, dressed secular ladies and all sorts of dandies gathered as if at a concert or at the first performance of a famous ballerina.
At the same time, the secret sciences of various kinds of theosophists, occultists and spiritualists begin to enjoy the attention of the same society of inhabitants. This dark area of search is even more widely used by Freemasonry.
For the first time these searches received a certain organizational unification in 1875, when the Theosophical Society was founded in New York by our compatriot H. P. Blavatsky and the American Colonel Olcott. With its open goals, this society set: 1) to create the core of a worldwide brotherhood of peoples without distinction of nationality, religion, class and sex; 2) to spread the comparative study of religions and world knowledge, contained in the ancient Asian literature of the Brahmins, Buddhists and followers of Zoroaster, and 3) to explore the secrets hidden in nature, mainly the psychic forces "dormant" in man.
Blavatsky and Olcott strove to give the meetings of members of the Theosophical Society the appearance of the mysteries of ancient times, which especially attracted the curiosity of the general public. The Masonic lodges met this new undertaking very kindly and willingly contributed to the success of the spread of theosophical doctrines.
After that, at the head of the Theosophical Society was the famous Englishwoman Anna Besant, dedicated to
to the highest degree of an international mixed Masonic order. Its closest collaborator is a former Anglican priest... Freemason Leadbeater. The well-known German Jewish occultist Rudolf Steiner is working in the same direction. From the very foundation and until now, all the influential figures of the Theosophical Society, who form the highest esoteric section, belonged and belong to Freemasonry.
The Theosophical Society also has its unknown occult inspirers and leaders, called "Mahatma", allegedly constituting the "Great White Lodge of Tibet".
The attitude of freemasonry to socialism and communism
133. The spiritual mother of communism and internationalism is again freemasonry. Marx and Engels were among the most active organizers and practitioners of secret unions, led by Freemasons, and whose goal was to widely propagate both in word and deed the ideas of the "Communist Manifesto".
Already in 1849, the German Masonic magazine Latomia welcomed the birth of a new Masonic ideological brainchild - socialism: "We," he wrote, "cannot help but welcome and support socialism as an excellent collaborator of Freemasonry in ennobling humanity and striving to improve its well-being" .
134. In “Acacia” we read: “Only in socialism and in socialism applied in all its breadth is the key to solving the social question ... We consider it the logical conclusion of the ideas of solidarity of world Freemasonry ... The triumph of socialism is inevitable, and Freemasonry should go at the head of the movement rather than being dragged along in tow.”
135. "The spirit of the times," wrote the German Masonic magazine Tyrkul, "requires us brother Masons to take control of the social movement into our own hands, and in this direction some lodges have already found the right path and the right means."
Freemasons are recruited from bourgeois, and educated, and bureaucratic, and aristocratic circles. Masonic lackeys - socialists and revolutionaries - are recruited from the lower strata of society. Proletarians are not accepted as Freemasons. For the proletarians, there are organizations led by Freemasons.
136. Art. 258 of the Statute of the Grand Orient of France states: “No one can be admitted to the initiation and enjoyment of the rights associated with the advantages of a Mason if he does not have sufficient and decent means of subsistence ... Freemasonry is a bourgeois society, both in terms of the environment from which it is composed, and for the costs it causes.
Not accepting the proletarians in the lodge, Freemasonry, nevertheless, is actively working among the lower ranks of the people, which it needs as physical strength and which it cynically uses to achieve its goals.
137. “Freemasonry, which prepared the political revolution of 1789,” wrote the Masonic magazine Acacia, “must now prepare the socialist ... Masons are obliged to go hand in hand with the proletariat. On the side of the first - intellectual forces and creative abilities, the second - numerical superiority and destructive means. Their unity will bring about the socialist revolution.”
“From the day when the union of the proletariat and Freemasonry under the leadership of Freemasonry is sealed,” said the International Masonic Congress in Brussels, “we will be an invincible army.”
In March 1882, in the Free Thought Lodge, the freemason Paul Roque said: "Having worked for the political revolution, Freemasonry must also work for the social revolution."
"Democracy" and Freemasonry
Democracy in theory is democracy, but this is only a brilliant political chimera, created and strongly supported by all the ramifications and spiritual offspring of Freemasonry. By persuading the man of the masses that he chooses rulers and rules through them, Freemasonry brazenly deceives the crowd.
138. "Freemasonry and democracy are one and the same," wrote Brother Pannitsa, "or even more - Freemasonry must be regarded as the army of democracy."
140. "It is extremely necessary to conduct active propaganda so that Freemasonry will again take the place of the sole and main inspirer of the ideas that lead democracy to perfection."
141. “The 140 lodges, departments and councils of the Grand Orient of France are centers of light scattered throughout the country. Thousands of free citizens visit these lodges, discussing life's questions in them, talking about them in the newspapers and defending the opinions worked out in political committees. Little by little public opinion is formed, the voters are inspired, they express their opinion by universal suffrage, the parliament yields to the will of the people. This is the tactic of Freemasonry and this is how it should be in a democratic system.
142. "There is not a single law, neither political, nor religious, nor about popular education, which would not be developed in the lodges and perfected at the Masonic convention."
Freemasonry and political parties
143. How did Freemasonry achieve power? - puts question dr Ansonno and immediately answers: - Oh, very simple. Simply by arranging the election of deputies and senators of Freemasons, or associated with Freemasonry, by means of committees called republican, but run by the agents of the lodges at hand. Apparently the candidates nominated by the congressional hypocrites are very careful not to say that they are Freemasons. That would be dangerous, they call themselves Radicals, Radical Socialists, Socialists, or Progressives as the need arises; in a word, they cover themselves with a label favored by the composition of the electorate and promise all the reforms known to be pleasing to the electorate. In doing so, they vilely deceive the people. These candidates know full well that they will not be able to deliver on their promises. They are connected. Fooled voters can resent their chosen ones as much as they like, but in the next election, if one or another deputy fails, then a new protege of the same Masonic lodge takes his place and makes new deceitful promises. A mason who has failed in the elections is always waiting for consolation in the form of a lucrative job or an influential service. No wonder the Masonic community is a community of mutual responsibility.
In democratic elections, a very significant circumstance is the single and massive bribery of voters who are indifferent to the common good. Elections require huge expenses... Obviously, single honest people are simply deprived of the opportunity to take part in parliamentary elections if they are not supported and carried out by rich and influential parties and organizations. Among such organizations, undoubtedly the strongest and richest is the worldwide organization of Freemasonry, which for this reason alone wins democratic elections and fills parliaments and governments with its agents.
Masonic-Jewish symbols, the seal of Solomon - the star of David
“If the intelligentsia is considered by Freemasonry as a milieu necessary for its purposes, from which, by careful screening through a whole series of special sieves, senior leaders of the organization are selected, and the rank and file forms a contingent of obedient agitators for speeches dictated from behind the scenes, then the working class constitutes for Freemasonry its active force, its crude instrument for achieving, by force alone, what long before this has been prepared by the zeal of adepts from the intelligentsia.
Revolutionaries of all times have always been very concerned about the incompatibility of simultaneously achieving and widely promoting their goals and keeping the very structure of their organization secret. Most of them had to choose one. But the occult leaders of Freemasonry have devised a satisfactory way out of this situation by a combination of the work of the Masonic lodges and the associated workers' organizations.
The task of the Masonic lodges is to develop the doctrines necessary for the purposes of Freemasonry and to disseminate them, to infiltrate the bourgeois, administrative and even government environment with them. This work must be done continuously. When a favorable situation is created for active action, then workers' organizations are put forward for this, in which, under the leadership of experienced and energetic Freemasons, workers, students, soldiers, sailors and lower administrative agents are attracted in advance.
With such a combination, Freemasonry has at the same time both a corps of zealous propagandists of their ideas (who, in case of failure, can always justify themselves by the fact that they treated this or that question only on the basis of strict theory), and an army of ready-made barricade specialists capable of the most desperate enterprises, not excluding political assassinations.
But as soon as the conditions of active struggle clearly do not ensure success, the destructive work of the workers' and proletarian organizations ceases, and they quickly disintegrate, with the exception of an extremely small number of cells, which are instructed to keep the archives and the glorious traditions of the bloody struggle for the "rights of mankind." At this time, bourgeois Freemasonry again appears on the scene to secure for itself, on a legal basis, the "gains of the revolutions" acquired at the cost of blood, betrayal, torture and the death of innocent masses of the population.
It took Freemasonry whole centuries of practice and speculative research to develop the stated method of the variable use of propaganda suggestions on the minds, and revolutionary excesses that capture the root of the entire environment of the everyday life of the layman. To achieve this, Freemasonry in each country was forced to create its numerous active element and ready-made headquarters, not to mention the mysterious accumulation of huge funds, without which, of course, not a single political and tactical operation could even have arisen.
The very methods of influencing the working classes and the proletariat of the inspirers of revolutionary movements are now everywhere rather uniform. If Masonic poison penetrates intellectual circles with the help of the press and popular articles, then it also influences the workers through its specialized literature, street leaflet newspapers (the fabulously low selling price of which is actually many times less than the cost of their publications), penny pamphlets, appeals, proclamations, cartoons, cinematographic films, various kinds of lectures and popular courses. Even attempts to widely popularize scientific knowledge in democratic circles by creating the so-called People's Universities, as our zealous preacher of the humanities, prof. N. Kareev, set the goal of "propagating a certain worldview."
144. "It is necessary that Freemasonry become what it should be, that is, a master, and not a servant of political parties."
145. “We are a large society,
mute to the outside world, which seeks only to collectively express its ideas and fill the whole country with them. Our ambition is to infuse populace
our thoughts… We find our satisfaction in seeing our thoughts take root.”
146. "All political institutions are now, quite naturally, in the hands of Freemasons."
147. “The Brotherhood of Freemasons,” paragraph 4 of the Russian lodge “Phoenix” states, “is not any political party. It stands OUTSIDE the parties, ABOVE the parties, ABOVE the parties. For every party is something temporary and local, narrow and dogmatic, and unites people on the basis of transient egoistic interests.
148. "Since the League of Human Rights has brought together all the parties and groupings of the left and the extreme left for the practical organization of the defense of public liberties and the freedom of the individual, the Grand Lodge of France has established unity with it."
Masonic tactics of struggle for power
149. Weishaupt, the founder of the most revolutionary variety of Freemasonry, the Order of the Illuminati, one of the main organizers of the French Revolution, wrote in his instructions on exclusion from the higher degrees: from their stupidity. Having no soul, they have at least escuds (money). These people are good people and we need them. These good people make up the number and replenish the cashier ... So, let's get to work; it is necessary that these gentlemen fall for the bait, but let us be very careful not to betray our secrets to them. This class of individuals must be sure that the degree they have is the highest.”
150. In one Masonic instruction it is advised “not to neglect anything in order to attract to our order members who excel in the clergy, among civil and military authorities, youth organizations, not excluding kings and princes, and most importantly - their children, their advisers and ministers and, in the end, all those whose interests would be opposed to our doctrine. It is necessary to disseminate with all cunning and in the most seductive form the germ of our dogmas and accustom them in this way, insensibly and so that they do not suspect, to the blow that should destroy them.
151. Louis Blanc, Freemason and Revolutionary, writes: “Thanks to a skillful mechanism, Freemasonry found among the princes and nobility fewer enemies than patrons. Sovereigns liked how Frederick the Great took a mason's spatula and girded himself with an apron. Why not? The existence of higher degrees was carefully hidden from them, they knew about Freemasonry only what could be explained to them.
152. The Italian Freemason, the Jew Picollo, gave the following advice: “In view of the fact that we are not yet in a position to say our last word, it has been found useful and appropriate to spread light everywhere and shake everything that tends to move. In order to achieve everything, we recommend that you try to attach as many people as possible to all kinds of congregations, but on condition that complete secrecy prevails in them. Italy is covered with religious brotherhoods and penitents of all shades; try to let our people into these herds, ruled by stupid piety; let them carefully study the persons who are members of these brotherhoods, and then they will be convinced that there is no lack of harvest. Under a simple pretext (but by no means under a political or religious one), create or better force others to create various unions, communities with the goal of trade, industry, music, arts. Gather your ignorant flocks in certain places (even in temples and chapels), put at their head some pious but gullible priest who would be in good standing, but who would be easy to deceive; then, in small doses, let the poison into the chosen hearts, do it as if by chance, and you will soon be surprised at the results." “The main thing is to separate a person from the family and make him lose family habits. By the very nature of his character, every person is predisposed to flee from domestic cares and seek entertainment and forbidden pleasures. Gradually accustom him to be weary of his daily labors; when you finally separate him from his wife and children and prove to him the difficulty of all family circumstances, inspire him with a desire to change his lifestyle. Man is born rebellious; kindle in him this feeling of rebelliousness to the point of a fire, but, however, see that this fire does not grow. This should only serve as a preparation for a great undertaking.” “Having instilled in some souls an aversion to family and religion (one inevitably follows the other), arouse in them the desire to join the nearest lodge. Belonging to a secret society usually flatters the vanity of a simple layman to such an extent that every time I am delighted with human stupidity. I am surprised that not all people have entered the ranks of the chosen workers for the construction of the Temple of Solomon. “Mystery always has a great charm for people, and to be a member of a lodge, to feel out of the care of a wife and children, to be called to keep some terrible secret (which, by the way, they never trust him), all this gives pleasure and pride to some natures. True, the lodges are of little use in their activities - they have more fun and drink there, but they serve as a storage point, a crucible through which you must pass in order to get to us.
- Each Freemason confirms his faith in God and in the immortality of the Soul.
- The Mason believes that how exactly he worships God is his business, and only his, and how other Masons worship God is their business, and only them. Accordingly, Freemasons strongly believe in freedom of religion.
- Masonry does not offer any way to Salvation. Every Mason should look for him where he worships God, which the Brotherhood only encourages and strongly approves.
- Since religion and politics so often cause discord between people, these issues are forbidden to discuss in the Masonic lodge.
- Freemasonry seeks to bring all people of all faiths together in a Brotherhood based on mutual respect to work together for the benefit of those in need. If the Freemason's religion requires him to live a life filled with care and help for people less fortunate in this life, Freemasonry will offer him various ways to put his compassionate passion into practice. In this matter, Freemasonry strives to become the ideal companion of any moral religion.
- A Mason must never place his duties to Freemasonry above his duties to his family, to God, and to his country.
Our mission in this world is to become worthy citizens, observing the highest moral principles, the most important of which are equality, mercy and honesty.
Striving to become worthy citizens, we
- we intend to make every effort to make a good person even better, so that he follows the Divine laws, strives to know himself and the world,
- should use our time conscientiously, dividing it between worshiping the Lord, work, leisure, and community service, making the best use of our mental and physical faculties,
- consider it our duty to make full use of our talents in private and public life, in business and in the service of ourselves, our families, our environment and all mankind,
In pursuit of the highest moral principles, we
- follow the golden rule of ethics in order to do to others what we would like them to do for us.
- are constructive in our outlook on life and uphold the importance of the well-being and independence of every member of society.
Respecting the principle of equality,
- we accept people of any ethnic group on Earth into the Brotherhood.
- We affirm that all people are equal. The value of a person is measured by his merits, and not by his origin, religion, social status or condition.
- we respect the faith and ideals of other people and try to be equally kind and understanding towards all people.
Showing mercy, we
- We understand it as a sincere desire for the good of all people.
- we direct it not only in relation to Masons and members of their families, but to every person and the whole society.
- we donate as much to charity as our condition allows and work without compensation for the brotherhood.
Recognizing honesty as the most important of the virtues, we
- we tirelessly strive for the Truth and believe that nothing can justify a Lie.
- We treat everyone openly and without prejudice.
We do not know the details of the plan of the Great Builder of the Universe regarding the fate of the brotherhood. He does not reveal the blueprints.
But we know that the world has changed. People hold in their hands the power of scientific discoveries, which in the near future can make a person practically equal to God, giving him the right to create a new life according to his own understanding.
Very little time will pass and the power of the mind will make it possible to significantly extend our earthly path, just as half a century ago the same power made it possible to destroy all species human life. This power gradually gives any individual the power to cause such destruction in minutes, which was previously feasible only for a great empire during a great war.
And therefore, the deep faith of the sages-founders of our order in the possibility of improving a person through hard and purposeful work is becoming more and more relevant.
The demand of time is such that people can no longer remain alone with the power and strength under their control without internal principles, cores and guidelines.
Fraternal principles allow space to be created
A space that lies in a different dimension from social differences. These principles do not force us to deny the importance of the profane life. They enrich it and brighten it with spiritual light. Brotherhood is not the equality of the foolish with the wise. Just like it is not the equality of the disciple with the master. This is the equality of all mortals before the Great Builder of the Universe in the humble awareness of oneself as a stone in the immaterial temple of the spirit, tirelessly created by millions of brothers in earthly life, in the manifested world, here on Earth.
Someone does this work selflessly and unceasingly. Someone quietly and clumsily. But so this work is the result of the unification of fraternal efforts, it has been going on without stopping and without stopping for a minute for hundreds of years. Many have lost their faith. Many departed in self-interest. But, nevertheless, hammers knock, and kind words turn into good deeds.
The Brotherhood does not show aggression towards the inner world of man. Demanding from him faith, tolerance and concentrated spiritual quest, the brotherhood does not impose religious dogmas, leaving even such important topics as personal salvation and the fate of the soul after death as the subject of intimate religious faith.
Brotherhood teaches humility
Brotherhood teaches tolerance
For in order for each stone to lay down in the foundation or in the wall of the coming third temple, the stones must be polished, freed from roughness and unevenness. And in order for the lodge to open its work in harmony and love, the brothers must be able to forgive each other our imperfections and our mistakes.
Brotherhood expands consciousness
For it recognizes the universal value of certain ethical principles anywhere. “Do to others as you would like to be treated to you” and “Do not do to others what you would not want to experience yourself.” And these principles lie above the boundaries. They are above any earthly powers. Freemasonry, especially regular Freemasonry, is inconceivable without universalism. Brotherhood is universal in nature and makes sense if and only if brotherly feelings transcend boundaries.
And therefore the order continues its work in constant, hourly, tireless service to the Supreme Architect of the Universe in the embodiment of his plans on earth. And this idea is to build a temple of the human spirit, which is possible only in faith and devotion. We remember that in any human intention there is an element of curiosity and self-interest. We know that tragedy is at the root of many great things. That's the way the world works. But faith helps the brothers to continue their work, the word gives strength and directs the wisdom of the creator.
Freemasons are the most powerful and mystical organization in the history of world spiritual power. Few people know that the followers of Freemasons still hold in their hands several secrets of prosperity and great wealth.
Every person wants to live a prosperous life and not feel the need for anything. This is how the followers of the Masons still live. The secret of their material security is the possession of secret knowledge about the energy of money, attracting the desired and changing reality in their favor.
For a long time, this knowledge remained inaccessible to uninitiated people: as you know, Masons are a closed organization, and not even every adept knows all the secrets of the order. But in modern world Finding the information you need is much easier and faster than before. As it turned out, the fact that most of the earth's goods are concentrated in the hands of a small group of people is indeed due to the existence of special techniques for attracting wealth.
This information is currently available. Everyone can use the knowledge of Masons - and with due diligence, achieve the desired success in a short time.
1. Masons knew about the special energy of money and their ability to attract each other. To draw such a conclusion, it is not even necessary to study historical sources - just look at a dollar bill. On the banknote, we can observe special Masonic signs: for example, on the left side of the banknote there is a truncated pyramid with a special sacred symbol on top, denoting the Architect of the Universe, whom the Masons identify with the Higher Power. In the same part of the banknote there is a circle with a triangle, scales and a key inscribed in it. This sign symbolizes a thoughtful path to wealth, which will be the key to world domination. These symbols appeared on the banknote for a reason: Masons are well aware of the main law of the universe, which says that like is attracted to like, and skillfully use it to increase wealth. By placing the symbols on the bill, they actually turn it into a money magnet that will attract financial energy and redirect it wherever they wish.
2. Freemasons used the power of sacred symbols to gain power and wealth. This Masonic secret is closely related to the previous one. The problem with many people is that they take things with power lightly, considering the evidence for their effectiveness to be fiction and fiction. Masons acted more enterprisingly: they noticed that there are special sacred symbols in any culture, and they tried to take the best from each. As a result, they were able to obtain formulas that are unique in strength, which, according to rumors, are capable of not only attracting money, but even giving power over circumstances and fulfilling the desires of the owner.
3. Freemasons used secret formulas to get rich and gain power. This was shown by the analysis of ancient manuscripts, accidentally found by Viktor Nikolayevich, a specialist in the field of esotericism. By the will of fate, he got a book, which contained detailed instructions for creating a formula for the adherents of the order. Following the description, he was able to create such a formula for himself and was convinced of its effectiveness: in the shortest possible time he was able to get rid of serious financial problems, and now he is a successful and prosperous person.
4. Masons do not try to change the fate of their adherents, but help them overcome obstacles and reveal their abilities to the fullest. A list of members of the order who were honored with the creation of a wealth formula was found along with instructions. Many adepts were crossed out from the original list. This is explained by the fact that the Masons created the wealth formula only after analyzing the horoscope and the Tarot layout for the further fate of the adept. If the analysis showed that a person still had to overcome some of the obstacles that he needed to spiritual development, and at the moment the formula might even hurt him, the creation was denied.
5. Money and fame were the result of receiving the Masonic formula, but not the cause. Many may think that only a person endowed with wealth and power could become a member of the Masonic order. But this is far from the case, as real examples prove. There is an opinion that the potential of a person, his energy was especially important for the Masons. If the members of the order saw that a person was capable of achieving a lot, he was accepted into their ranks. For example, everyone knows that Napoleon was a member of the Masonic Lodge. However, the career of the emperor, who conquered half of Europe, began not at all brilliantly: he was born into a poor family and was in poor health from childhood. Rumor has it that it was after Napoleon entered the order that luck became his constant companion.
6. Freemasons created special talismans for their adherents. A one-dollar bill became a talisman, on which a secret formula for wealth and success was applied. It was after this that she began to act, attracting favorable opportunities, money and good luck to the owner.
Press silence. With a heavy heart, I have to start talking about the topic announced above, since in the democratic press all problems related to the disclosure of the topic of Freemasonry are considered indecent. This is considered by those who assume in advance that the conversation about Freemasonry will surely lead first to a discussion of the "Judeo-Masonic conspiracy" in our society and to advertising "Protocols Elders of Zion» of dubious origin, and then to criticism of the New World Order, the undisguised goal of countless Masonic organizations; and all this will finally lead the author into the swamp of Black-Hundred nationalism and great-power chauvinism.
However, it seems to me that the reader's ignorance of the problem and its silence by the press can give rise to real negative social processes, since the problem of the struggle for the formation of the New World Order is now more and more beyond the bounds of theory. Deacon Andrey Kuraev in his book “Satanism for the Intelligentsia”, dedicated to criticizing Blavatsky’s Theosophy and the Roerichs’ “Living Ethics”, notes that the “new world order” is a society predicted by Scripture, in which it will no longer be possible for Christians to live.” The features of this New Society Without Christians are becoming more and more visible, and the very term "New World Order" today is no longer just a historiosophical term, but the order of things that is taking shape towards the end of the 20th century.
COMING FROM THE DEEP OF THE AGES
Some scholars attribute the emergence of Freemasonry to the time of the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem under King Solomon. Others see in Freemasonry one of the branches of the ancient mystical Order of the Rosicrucians, allegedly revived by the German emperor Charlemagne in the 9th century. We will follow those who associate the origin of Freemasonry with the Templars.
In 1118, on Mount Zion near Jerusalem, a secret alliance was organized by nine crusaders - the Priory of Our Lady of Sion, later renamed the Order of the Knights Templar (templar monks). Here in the Holy Land, the Templars come into contact with secret sects of Muslim Arabs and Jews. The secret rule of the Order holds the secret of the great source of power, originating in the mythical underground city of Agharta (in the heart of the Himalayas) and planning the establishment of a New World Order in the year 2000.
In 1314, the powerful Order of the Templars was destroyed by the French King Philip the Handsome and Pope Clement V. The templars scattered throughout Europe became the Knights of Christ in Portugal and the Knights of the Teutonic Order in Germany.
Order of the Mendicant Knights of Christ and Solomon Temple. Seal of the Knights Templar. The two horsemen symbolize the vow of poverty or the duality of the monk and the soldier.
In France and England, the surviving Templars founded the corporations of Freemasons, or Freemasons. Considering God to be the "Great Architect of the World", Freemasons play the humble role of masons. With a trowel in one hand and with a sword in the other, in aprons decorated with Masonic signs, they perform their rites and rituals at secret meetings of the initiates.
Among the deeply conspiratorial Masonic organizations, one of the most significant, starting from the 14th-15th centuries, was the Brotherhood of the Illuminati and the Rosicrucian Order, which spread their offshoots in the form of lodges, colleges and orders throughout Europe. In 1662, the English Rosicrucians of the Invisible College Lodge created the Royal Society, and in 1666 the Freemasons created the Academy of Sciences in Paris, which became not so much the citadels of orthodox science, but the stronghold of European Freemasonry, organized into dozens of secret brotherhoods and unions of Freemasons, and then spread across all continents of the world in the form of hundreds of lodges and orders, uniting tens of millions of Freemasons.
Along with Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Illuminants, dozens of other secret societies have arisen and are now arising: the Church of Scientists, the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, the Luciferian Society of Celtic Obedience, the Tibetan "Green Order" (by the way, it included the wife of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II), the International Brotherhood Isis, the "Order of Vril" (neo-Nazi Freemasonry, founded in 1919 by Karl Haushofer, the future dedicated teacher of Hitler), etc., etc., uniting tens of millions of their followers all over the world. Their activities are aimed at spreading a worldview that opposes the orthodox and is based either on some miraculously preserved and, as a rule, encrypted fragments of ancient knowledge, or on extrahuman knowledge allegedly transmitted to the adherents of these orders by their conspiratorial Rulers - Teachers, Elder Brothers, Initiates, etc. d.
INVISIBLE RULES THE WORLD
One of the aspects of the activities of these societies is also the creation of legal and sometimes quite legitimate organizations of the widest spectrum: the “Committee of 300” (founded in 1729), which unites the highest-ranking Freemasons from the spheres of politics, economics and the church; the "Council of 33", representing the elite of the "Committee of 300"; Rotary Club; The Bilderberger Society, founded in the "Hotel de Bilderberger" (Holland) in 1954 by 120 financiers from the USA, Western Europe and Canada and often called the "invisible world government"; the "Trilateral Commission", founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski and now controls the American economy, politics, military and media; Club of Rome and even the UN.
The seals, emblems, coats of arms and flags of all these organizations bear a clear imprint of Masonic symbols: they depict both the all-seeing eye of Lucifer, and pyramids made of 33 (or 13) stones, and mottos such as "New World Order" and "Our cause will win" (both mottos are present on the emblem of the UN). All this symbolism has become so widespread that we can see it everywhere, from dollar bills to company emblems.
All secret brotherhoods, lodges, orders and organizations created by them have three features in common: tightness, that is, their closeness to the uninitiated; hierarchy of the management structure; hidden even for their members, the ultimate goal or - the idea, the plan.
The Encyclopædia Britannica, defining Freemasonry as “the teaching and practice of a secret fraternal order, the largest worldwide organization,” emphasizes that Freemasons use their professional skills to influence and penetrate power structures.
CONSPIRACY AGAINST HUMANITY
Conspiracy theory, the science of invisible forces that govern the history of mankind, notes that the direction of the action of these forces is opposite to the ideals that meet the humane goals of social evolution, and therefore defines these actions as a conspiracy against humanity, as an occult war being secretly waged against humanity.
This conspiracy against humanity manifests itself through secret societies (unions, lodges, orders) that are created as needed and which are divided into different groups (the so-called "conspiracy plots"), outwardly often opposed to each other and sometimes proclaiming the most opposite opinions for in order to manage political, cultural, ideological, religious, economic parties, directions and currents of society with the least degree of risk. At the same time, the groups are “connected, in order to maintain a single direction, with an unknown center, where a mighty spring is hidden, which in such an invisible way tries to own all the scepters of this world.” Some of the conspiracy theorists even tend to talk about a "cosmic conspiracy."
Back in 1910, the world's first ufologist Charles Fort wrote that the hidden purpose of this conspiracy "has been known for many centuries to some of us, the sheep-leaders of a secret cult or a secret order, whose members, like slaves of the first class, control us by virtue of the received instructions and switch arrows, directing us to our mysterious duties.
But who gives these instructions, pushing the evolution of mankind in the direction it needs for the sake of fulfilling the Constant Plan (the Ultimate Goal) unknown to us? Who are they, real and carefully concealed Managers of Masonic activity? Unions of heads of governments of the strongest countries? The fabulously wealthy banking houses of the Jews of the Rothschilds, Morgans, Wartburgs, etc.? Semi-mythical Supreme Initiates and Teachers (Mahatmas) from the legendary country of Shambhala, hidden in the center of the Himalayas? More perfect than us, representatives of Parallel Worlds?
This list of questions alone, each of which is answered in the affirmative by one or another "group of conspirators", gives rise to a far from complete idea of the breadth of the spectrum of teachings promoted by the groups.
Studying various models of "conspiracy conspiracies", the modern Russian researcher A. Dugin notes that among them stand out such as the "conspiracy of Masons", "Jewish conspiracy", "conspiracy of the Bolsheviks (poor)", "conspiracy of bankers" (or "economic conspiracy ”), “conspiracy of sects” (occultists, satanists, “cymbals”, scientists, messianes of various kinds, contactees, etc.). At the same time, it does not matter for conspiracy theories whether this or that “conspiracy” actually exists, if there is a historically and sociologically fixed belief in it. Here, a parallel with religion, which has existed for thousands of years, is appropriate not due to the fact of God, but due to the fact of faith in Him.
Now we must emphasize that, from our point of view, the terms used in conspiracy theory such as “masonic conspiracy” are not entirely successful, since the word “conspiracy” characterizes only the goals and intentions of those Invisible Forces that exercise supreme leadership in achieving the Ultimate Goal. As for the executors of the Plan themselves, for them linking their activities with something directed against humanity seems to be inconsistent with reality, offensive and does not fall under the concept of "conspiracy".
SO WHO ARE THEY?
So who are they, these ubiquitous and mysterious Freemasons, whose name is legion?
First of all, we note that outstanding cultural and political figures were widely involved in serving the Masons. Thus, the list of Grand Masters and Grand Masters who led the Priory of Sion included Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, Claude Debussy, Jean Cocteau. Such outstanding personalities belonged to the Masonic lodges, without which neither culture nor the history of civilization is inconceivable. To name just a few of them: the great writers Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe; composers - J. Haydn, F. Liszt, W. Mozart, Jan Sibelius and others; encyclopedists - Diderot, d'Alembert, Voltaire; Simon Bolivar, leader of the Latin American struggle for independence; Giuseppe Garibaldi, leader of the Italian Carbonari; Atatürk, founder of the current Republic of Turkey; Henry Ford, "America's Automobile King"; Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of Great Britain; Eduard Benes, former President of Czechoslovakia; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon - former American presidents; Allen Dulles, founder of the CIA; American astronaut E. Aldrin and Soviet - A. Leonov, politicians - Francois Mitterrand, Helmut Kohl and Willy Brandt, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Al Gore, current US Vice President, and Bill Clinton, current US President, Joseph Retinger, Secretary General of Bilderberg Club, David Rockefeller, head of the Trilateral Commission, and many, many others.
The belonging of many of these people to Freemasonry became known only relatively recently, in the middle of our century, when the veil of its mystery was slightly opened. Scientists managed to find documents confirming these connections in the archives, and even publish them.
As the studies of conspiracy theorists show, all armed conflicts of the last centuries, starting with the military campaigns of Napoleon, and all revolutions, starting with the French, were actually inspired by the leaders of the Masonic orders and financed by the banking houses of the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Morgans, Wartburgs, etc. associated with the Masonic lodges.
Freemasonry was brought to Russia by Peter I. After 1721, when the Russian Emperor Peter I was initiated into Freemasons in England, lodges of Masonic orders were established in Russia as well. The Clio Masonic Lodge, opened in Moscow in 1763, was patronized by Catherine the Great herself.
In 1798, Emperor Paul I became the Grand Master of the Masonic Order of the Hospitallers. He took under his protectorate the Order of Malta of St. John of Jerusalem after the capture of Malta by Napoleon's squadron (the Russian protectorate of this Catholic order was abolished by Alexander I, son of Paul I).
Masonic lodges expanded in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and participation in them was popular among the Russian intelligentsia.
MASONS IN RUSSIA
Naturally, the fate of the Russian revolutions was not without the participation of Masonic figures in them. More recently, the name of Ulyanov-Lenin was discovered in the lists of the Grand Lodge of France.
On December 29, 1915, the German General Staff, through the banker Paul Wartburg, issued one million gold rubles "to organize a revolution in Russia" to the Odessa millionaire Parvus, an ally of V. Lenin.
Additional funding for the future Russian revolution in the amount of more than 12 million US dollars was carried out in 1916-1917. through the English banker Lord Milner and through the bankers Felix Wartburg, Mortimer Schiff, Olaf Aschburg and many others.
Lenin and 32 of his associates from Switzerland returned to Russia, crossing the borders in an armored car sealed by the Germans. This event was financed again through the banking house of the Wartburgs.
On February 14, 1916, a secret meeting of 62 Russian revolutionaries was held in New York (of which 50 participated in the revolution of 1905), at which a plan for a new, Bolshevik revolution in Russia was discussed. Financial assistance to this plan was offered by Jacob Schiff, the head of the B'nai Brith lodge, who on January 13, 1917 transferred $20 million to Trotsky's group through Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company.
We emphasize that the Masonic lodge "B'nai Brith" ("Sons of the Covenant"), or the purely Jewish "Independent Order of B'nai Brith", was created in 1843. Today it has branches in 42 countries of the world, and some conspiracy theorists call it an order within an order, or Freemasonry over Freemasonry.
March 27, 1917 Leon Trotsky and 255 of his associates from New York through Canada went to Russia. They were detained at the border of Canada, having found a solid cash sum of 10 thousand dollars from Trotsky (the money was transferred to him by D. Morgan), but soon, under pressure from American President Woodrow Wilson, the Canadian authorities sent the revolutionaries to Russia by the Christianiafjord steamer.
On the tenth day after the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin, having introduced censorship and then closed all non-communist newspapers and magazines, began a fight against all "deviators". He obtained from the 4th Congress of the Comintern and the adoption of the decision "On the incompatibility of membership in the Bolshevik Party with membership in Masonic lodges", which was confirmed after the death of Lenin in 1934 by the 17th Congress of the CPSU (b). However, in the intellectual circles of the Land of the Soviets, a passion for spiritual Freemasonry, theosophy, anthroposophy led to the emergence of secret societies "Third Eye Club", "Petersburg Martinists", "Order of Light", "Moscow Templars", etc. A. L. Nikitin in the book "Mystics , Rosicrucians and Templars in Soviet Russia" notes: "Already the first selective acquaintance with the files stored in the Central Archive of the Russian Federation - the former archive of the OGPU-NKVD-MGB-KGB, showed the presence in Russia in the 30s of our century of various mystical groups, societies and organizations whose members joined the ranks of Gulag prisoners and secret agents of the OGPU-NKVD.
In December 1989, M. S. Gorbachev personally authorized the establishment of branches of the Masonic lodge "B'nai Brit" in Moscow, Vilnius, Riga, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Odessa, Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk. November 16, 1991 in the Kremlin, B. N. Yeltsin was awarded the cross of the Knight Commander of the Maltese Masonic Order.
On March 24, 1998, the Verkhovna Rada considered the issue of the spread of Freemasonry in Ukraine. Boris Oliynyk, patriarch of the communist faction, demanded that the Security Service of Ukraine find out if there are Masons in the power structures of the state.
