The Great Orient of France and Zapatero

The Great Orient of France and Zapatero
by Cesar Vidal. November 19th, 2008

Last Friday, I read an editorial in La Linterna [the Lantern] that brought about an extraordinary commotion up to the point of which it has been a true multitude the one that has requested this text. I reproduce it next.

It was the year 1801, when in the French port of Brest the first Masonic lodge participated by Spaniards was constituted. Its name was La Reunión Española, and we know that it had 26 members, among them some priests. The goal of the lodge was obvious. Napoleon wanted to create, using the masonry, a fifth column that from within corroded Spain, and facilitated its dominion by France. A little more than six years after the constitution of that one first Masonic lodge in France, Napoleon invaded Spain and, in a significant way, the most outstanding traitors came from the higher layers of the Spanish social pyramid.

During the last hours, we have had access to documents coming from the Masonic obedience known as the Great Orient of France. Without spirit of being exhaustive, the facts are the following:

1. In one of documents, denominated the White Booklet of Laicism, the Great Orient of France indicates that “laicism tries to release the young and the adult from everything that especially alienates and perverts him…… the religious order”.

2. The document of the Great Orient of France also affirms that “the laic moral… is essential in the construction of social harmony and the reinforcing of democratic civic-mindedness.”

3. That same document from the Great Orient of France indicates that “the laic education” is one of the conditions for the equality in the society and that “the laic school… must be preserved from all religious penetration”.

4. In that same document, the Great Orient points out that “if churches want to exist… religion must become a private subject and churches cannot be granted official status”.

5. In a significant way, this same document of the Great Orient of France indicates that the legal regulations of “birth, life and death” do not have to be considered “under the point of view of religion” which opens the door to legal phenomena as the extension of abortion or the legalization of euthanasia.

6. This same document of the Great Orient of France also emphasizes that “the progresses of science must be freed from all influence… especially from religious groups” what is a way of barely hiding the plead for biological experimentation without restrictions.

7. This same document of the Great Orient of France insists that “the secularisation of the statute of the body (love and sexuality, death, disease) is not concluded” considering as objective the regulation of “the social modalities of the life of the couples and the families”, an euphemism for the marriage of homosexuals.

8. Finally, in this document of the Great Orient of France, it is indicated the necessity of avoiding religious influence in culture and artistic creation, and in information and communication.

9. In the document emanated from the Great Orient of France and dated October 31st, 2007, this Masonic obedience talks about the Law of Historical Memory pointing out that “in the hour in which Spain prepares itself to fulfil gallantly the examination of one of the shadiest periods of its history, the Great Orient of France wants to express its support to this necessary work of remembrance”.

10. In this same document, the Great Orient of France regrets, nevertheless, that the Vatican has beatified “nearly five hundred religious victims of the Spanish civil war” and indicates that “whereas the decision of the Spanish government would have to be greeted by all, some groups – among the most reactionary - work to reaffirm into effect ideologies that cannot but worry us”.

11. At the moment of taking to mean the economic crisis, in another document of date October 17th, 2008, the Great Orient of France, as Zapatero does, also attributes, it to that “the wind of [classical] Liberalism that without brake dragged everything as it blew” and points out that the solution, as Zapatero does, lies in the “re-foundation of the state-providence” [Welfare State], and

12. Today, the [French] newspaper Le Figaro has informed that after granting Sarkozy a chair to ZP to attend the next meeting in Washington, the Spanish president told to the French one: “Everything that you ask me, I will give you”.

In view of these data coming from the Great Orient of France, it is possible to formulate oneself some questions:

1. Is it by chance that the subject of Education for Citizenship [introduced in all high schools across the country] reproduces the educative Masonic model?

2. Is it by chance that the extension of the abortion and the legalization of euthanasia praised by Zapatero are among the goals of the masonry?

3. Is it by chance that the marriage of homosexuals defended by the masonry has been one of the star projects of Zapatero?

4. Is it by chance that the laic offensive of Zapatero corresponds millimetrically with the plans expressed by the masonry?

5. Is it by chance that the free route for the scientific experiments with no moral barrier that defends minister Soria corresponds with the theses of the masonry?

6. Is it by chance that the erroneous and demagogic analyses of the present economic crisis that carries out Zapatero is the same that the one the masonry advocates?

7. Is it by chance that the masonry endorses the partial and sectarian project incorrectly named as historical memory?

8. Is it by chance that the separatist movements of Basque region and Catalonia agree with the historical desire of France to maintain both regions like tampon states in order to debilitate Spain.

9. Has Judge Garzón any link to the masonry?

10. Has Zapatero any link to the masonry?

11. Has the masonry had any role in the concession of a chair in Washington for Zapatero?

And 12. What legitimacy has Zapatero to promise Sarkozy that he will give everything that he asks to him?

All these questions would have to receive a clear and truthful answer because, otherwise, we would have to fear that two hundred years after the Spanish people raised against the French invasion, new traitors are giving the mother country to the hands of its enemies and, once again, the privileged instrument for that treason are the Masonic lodges.

Cesar Vidal is a Spanish radio host and writer. Disillusioned lawyer, he got both PhD in Theology and Philosophy at the Logos University, and another PhD in History from the Spanish UNED.

Protestant Christian, he hosts two radio programs in COPE, the Spanish news channel owned by the Catholic Church: La Linterna [The Lantern], on evening news; and Camino del Sur [Road to the South], on American music.

He has been lecturing in several universities across America and Europe.

His tasks have been acknowledged with prizes such as Humanism Prize, from the Hebraic Foundation, and recognitions from organizations such as Yad-Vashem, Survivors of the Holocaust (from Venezuela), ORT or the Spanish Association of Terrorism Victims (AVT).

Prolific writer, among his mainly historical works it can be found a biography of Abraham Lincoln.

The Law of Historical Memory was set to reopen the wounds of the Civil War 1936-39. Judge and media star Garzón joined the offensive issuing orders to search for communal graves from that period and seeking to indict General Franco. However, he retracted as historian Pío Moa pointed out that the most prominent post still held by a Franco appointee was the one of the king, and that the whole movement could be considered neither noise to avoid to talk about the crises nor a simple support to the Law of Historical Memory, but an operation whose objective was to undermine the crown.

In catholic countries the masons have often been a center for resistance to catholic establishment and catholic faith.

Its different in protestant countries where “anti-clericalism” isn’t an issue, the masons aren’t considered to be particularly anti-anything. Most of the American founding fathers were masons, but they were also deeply religious men. Proper separation of church and state were important concepts but not in the way they are currently undestood; Jefferson was the original church-state separatist and something of a religious skeptic and he authorized regular worship services in the capitol building.

The fact that Zapatero is a Spanish anti-clericalist would mean that its no surprise that he’s a Spanish mason. But his overall assault on Christianity is directly in line with communists everywhere. He’s not just an anti-clericalist, he’s not just a proponent of a proper separation of church and state; he hates Christianity.

Indeed. It is a very sensitive issue because, as it often occurs, a word does not mean the same at both sides of the pond.

Moreover, it seems Spanish masons split up in different groups. Some of them have been interviewed even on COPE.

I think Mr. Vidal has all that on mind and points out to a concrete obedience and its branches in Spain.

IMHO, they simply reflect the kind of society in which they are rooted.

Napoleón pretendía crear, valiéndose de la masonería, una quinta columna que corroyera España desde dentro y que la facilitara su dominio por parte de Francia. Algo más de seis años después de la constitución de aquella primera logia masónica en Francia, Napoleón invadió España y, de manera bien significativa, los traidores más destacados se encontraron en las capas superiores de la pirámide social española.

As I say, the men who organized the American Revolution were also mostly masons. I think that this is because masonry, being a secret society, lended itself easily to conspiratorial planning.

As for the rest, it sounds as if modern Spanish masonry is almost completely godless. Our Democratic Party would probably agree with everything in Vidal's list, not because they are masons, but its because its a largely godless party. Then again, they do not agree with the founding principles of this country, and the founding documents are like tissue to them, to be used and tossed aside.

Zapatero would fit right in here, in an Obama administration, and Obama would fit right into Zapatero's administration as well. They are like long lost brothers.

What this means is that both Spain, nominally a catholic country, and the United States, which has long claimed to be founded "under God", have come dangerously close to losing their moorings. They are both ripe and in crying need for a spiritual awakening. They are both in need of evangelizing. We have always sent evangelists around the world; the next wave of evangelists need to come to our two countries.

As I say, the men who organized the American Revolution were also mostly masons. I think that this is because masonry, being a secret society, lended itself easily to conspiratorial planning.

That's it. As Vidal points out, Masonry is just a tool. The Founding Fathers of your nation used it well when they perceived, I think correctly, that Britain wanted to limit their development. They broke the chains and pushed actively for such advances, which meant that they had to allow Freedom, in order to unleash the forces that could rapidly colonize the vast territories before other nations did.

However, in Continental Europe, the goals were simply the contrary: to avoid a change, and if it finally happen -as it did in Spain when Franco died- to drive it in order to avoid the interests of the oligarchies being harmed. The American fiasco should never occur again.

By the way, that willing of changing, of shaping the society, as far as I know, is only present in Latin American/Spanish -and it seems that French too- masonic groups.

Spain has lost completely their moorings. One of the causes was the "monopoly of God" exerted by the Catholic church itself during Franco years in Spain (but not in the colonies of Northern Africa). Many people were tired of it and became tired of God instead of joining another religion, which is what it would have occured in an Anglosaxon country. It was easy to reinforce that natural trend after the death of the General.

I hope and I wish you are right. The Catholics are doing better now, Evangelists have come among Latin American immigrants, and Mr. Vidal is an example that Christianity cold be seen from other points of view.
