I have been reading that sound to... But it may be difficult to get a complete picture of how often a member of a closed lodge participates in meetings, but some form of physical presence must have been taken place to achieve 3 degree in the Swedish system. Besides that those two lodge brothers who have this Commander Brevik recommended as worthy may have had / got a problem or two. maybe they have been downgraded LOL

I know some Lodges require to come to all public functions for up to a year before you can go through the 3-degrees. Many say this helps them see who the man is before allowing him to completely join.

![]() Michael Baigent (born 1948) is an author and speculative theorist who co-wrote a number of books that question mainstream perceptions of history and the life of Jesus. He is best known as co-writer of the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Baigent was born in March 1948 in Christchurch, New Zealand. He grew up in Motueka and Wakefield, small communities on the sparsely-populated South Island of New Zealand. His upbringing was Catholic, and he attended church three times a week, as well as being tutored in Catholic theology from the age of 5. Published on 18 January 1982, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail popularised the hypothesis that the true nature of the quest for the Holy Grail was that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child together, the first of a bloodline which later married into a Frankish royal dynasty, the Merovingians, and was all tied together by a society known as the Priory of Sion. This ideas were later used as a basis for Dan Brown's international bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code. Michael Baigent, British author and editor of Freemasonry Today... http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=190677 http://www.ugle.org.uk/news-events-p...masonry-today/ |

![]() Are there really sinister forces at work, encouraging its imminent arrival? If so, who exactly are they? In his latest investigative book Michael Baigent takes us to the assembly hall of the UN, the boardrooms of major businesses and powerful lobbying groups, the cabinet meetings of world leaders, the ranches of cattle breeders, the churches of the faithful, and the narrow winding streets of modern Jerusalem, revealing to us the many diverse, public, and clandestine figures behind a perilous messianic agenda. By unveiling truly bizarre alliances, revisiting centuries-old ghostly events still haunting the birthplaces of religion, unraveling complex threads of history to discern the difference between myth and prophecy, and providing a thorough explication of the religious texts underlying all of this madness in the context of the times in which they were written, Baigent presents a very different view of the past, present, and future than that perpetuated by many loose interpretations of scripture. What are faith force multipliers? Which members of the U.S. military top brass have fought to employ them? Which world leader belongs to a secret messianic society called the Hojjatieh? What is the Chalcedon Foundation? And what is the correlation between its tenets, those of sharia law, and the fulfillment of end-time prophecies? The answers to these questions and others will intrigue, mystify, and enrage you, whether you're a person of faith or a staunch secularist. But the author's goal is not simply to shock the reader—it is to help diffuse the time bomb that has been set by the hard-liners of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the end, Baigent asks these questions to deliver an urgent message: that spiritual yearning is actually a deep and personal issue of awareness, one that can bring hope and tolerance to the world, rather than the self-superiority and control that are born of fear and conflict. |

Prince Hall a Freemason
Prince Hall was the first African American who was made a Mason Grand Master by the Military Lodge No.441 on 6 March 1775. The Freemasonry seemed to be quiet welcoming to the black community. Prince Hall a Freemason worked hard at spreading the idea of equality, peace and liberty. It was not very common to have black men work as the Masons in Lodge. With unanimous petition Prince Hall worked for the rights of the African Americans in the newly free formed United States. As the Masonic Lodges generally excluded the African Americans during those days, Prince Hall a Freemason had to face many challenges. The limited power given to black Masons was not accepted well. Rights to meet at the Mason, to participate in processions and burying the dead as per their Masonic rites were allowed. The functioning of one fully operational lodge was not given under the control of black freemasons. ![]() After waiting and petitioning for 9 years, the lodges were ready to accept the black and whites as equal in handling the Masonic authorities. Duke of Cumberland gave permission to separately operate Lodge no 459 as African lodge. Prince Hall a Freemason had worked with the establishment of African Lodge in many cities. After many years of consideration, abandonment and postponing the black Freemasons came together in 1791 and formed their own African Grand Lodge in North America. At that time Prince Hall was chosen to be the Grand Master unanimously. Prince Hall a Freemason of repute served the Lodge until his death in the year 1807. Now there are Prince Hall Grand Lodges in nations like Canada and Caribbean, Liberia and many more places. Though the Prince Hall did not get recognition rightaway, thorough analysis and controversies led to the study of matter. Later the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts got the due recognition as a Mason. http://www.miphgl.org/prince-hall-a-freemason.php

Madness' video for Bed and Breakfast Man was actually filmed in a masonic temple (check the checks). And Chas Smash is a member of some lodge. Funnily enough, no-one has yet accused them of being in league with other dimensional entities - yet.

But I could not resist deconstructing his argument relative to him critiquing my article on Black Greek Lettered Fraternities and Sororities (Internet published November 23, 2008) The myth of equality for all has already lasted a long time and its result only translates into mediocrity, decadence and contempt of force in favor of the jews...Ordo Africanus Illuminati, "The Crazy World"... short sleeves or long sleeves... ![]() Quote:

All this post demonstrates is there are some talented people even if they are free masons doesn't mean they are all bad and got a secret agenda. Mozart was a free mason but who cares, his music was magical and there has been no one before or since apart from Beethoven that matched his genius for composing. Some suggest that because someone is A FREEMASON THEY ARE ALL BAD. Ridiculous. Judge someone on their contribution to humanity overall. Yes there are some with a hidden agenda, but that is at the very top.

![]() Oddly, Putin has the lowest Masonic rank out of these three. Putin is only a Fellowcraft. The other two are Grand Masters.

![]() O my Luve's like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That’s sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry: Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun: I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Luve And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’ it were ten thousand mile. |

Here is a great man, a true ornament to Freemasonry: Mr Frederick Bligh Bond.
