Oh yeah! That's a cottage industry. There are websites that function only to whine incessantly about Free Republic. There are crazies whose entire life is about whining incessantly about Free Republic. These people are called kooks!!! :)
God bless our troops!
How Arabs View the World's Most Powerful Club-- Inside the Masonic Lodge
By Linda S. Heard
One of the best-known founding fathers of U.S. Freemasonry is Boston-born General Albert Pike, a 19th-century architect of the 'New World Order'. He was a linguist who rose to Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859-1891 and authored a Masonic handbook called The Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Freemasonry.
In this, Pike explains how the true meaning behind the symbols of Masonry must be kept from ordinary Masons: "Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry..."
On August 15, 1871, Pike wrote a letter to his friend Guissepe Mazzini, a third degree Mason, who had headed the Illuminati (a Masonic offshoot, rooted in Bavaria) in 1834. The missive--formerly on display in the British Museum--was a blueprint for three world wars Pike envisioned as necessary to bring about the One World Order.
According to Pike, the First World War must be brought about in order to overthrow the power of the Russian Tsars and of making that country a fortress of Communism... At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and weaken religions.
The Second War must be brought about so that Fascism and German (Aryan) Nationalism is destroyed, strengthening Zionism enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine...
The Third World War would take advantage of the differences between Zionists and the leaders of the Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and Zionism destroy each other.
Wrote Pike: "Meanwhile, the other nations, once more divided on this issue, will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion..."
Sound familiar?
The Arab view
It's little wonder that the Arab world views Freemasonry with a jaundiced eye. Few Moslems become Masons.
The Jewish connection:
In the minds of many Arabs, Masonry is inextricably linked to Judaism, mostly due to the Qabbalastic system of numbers (Gematria) used during the rituals and references to the Temple of Solomon. In reality, Masons are mostly Christian (90 per cent in the U.S.) although it must be said that Jewish Masons tend to be influential, and are said to include several Israeli politicians, including Benjamin Netanyahu.
In 1996, a new lodge was formed in Israel, named after Sir Moses Montefiori, a prominent Mason and the brother-in-law of Nathan Rothschild. Its website reads: "The consecration (of the new lodge) took place in the quarries of Jerusalem..."
From this choice of location, one can, perhaps, interpret that members of this lodge believe that the origins of Masonry are linked to the construction of Solomon's Temple.
Albert Pike in his Morals and Dogma writes: "The room of place in which they (Masons) meet, representing some part of the Temple of Solomon, is also called the lodge".
One must surely, therefore, wonder why so many Masonic scholars have concluded that Freemasonry has its roots in European stonecutters guilds... or is this organised deception?
Masonic Forum magazine, while profiling Isaac Grassiani, the founder of the Supreme Masonic Council of Israel, suggests that Israel is "the legendary birthplace of the Craft." So, perhaps the view of some Arabs that Freemasonry's ideology is tied to Judaism isn't far wrong.
Recall that Pike's letter was written in 1871. He refers to Zionism by name, yet there was no Zionism in 1871. Nor were there Fascists or a communist Russia.
Pike's letter is no forgery, in fact it was, for a long time, on very public display. He was privy to the highest secrets of his order and he revealed them honestly.
After reading Pike's revelations, one can only come to the conclusion that history is not random, it is planned. Pike's letter proves by its very terminology that, among other issues, the Holocaust of the 1940s was as manipulated as is the upcoming war to the end with Israel. Note with strong interest, that both Islam and Israel are slated for annihilation.
There are numerous sources exposing the Masonic game of infiltrating Judaism to promote its demise from within. One of the most important books exposing Freemasonry's near-total corruption of Judaism are Rabbi Marvin Antelman's, To Eliminate The Opiate, Volumes One and Two. Below, in private correspondence, Rabbi Antelman explains how a Masonic symbol, the Star Of David was foisted on the Jews:
"You ask a very significant question. The late professor Gershom Scholem stated "The hexagram is not a Jewish symbol, much less 'the symbol of Judaism.'' In my research, I came accross microfilms of rare books by Rabbi Yaakov Emden exposing the Sabbatians written in the early 1750s. He reproduced satanic amulets most of which were in hexagrams and cursed the Sabbatians who created them. For a comprehensive well documented history on the Magen David, I refer you to Prof, Scholem's; The Star of David, History of a Symbol which appears in The Messianic Idea In Judaism
(Schoken,NY(1971).
