because the Masons have been inventing history to credit themselves for 200+ years.

there is s difference between historically verifiable facts and something published with no extra sources in the last 200 years.

For example, when you consider most historical events, she have multiple sources from/around the time of the event.

Also, will you state you are not a freemason of some degree?

What does freemasonry have to do with this? Do you think the Knights of Malta were masons, or mason fabricated stories of the siege, or what?

I just really don't see where masons tie into this whole thing.

No expert on this, but Malta is a Catholic island, and the Freemasons are anti-Catholic (at least in the time of the invasion of Malta on this thread).

Hence, the Catholic secret orders with names having Malta in them, “Knights of Malta,” etc., would not be the Freemasons. Just my guess.

Basically, the Malta secret orders are the Catholic answer to the anti-Catholic Masonic secret orders. The same sort of secretive thing, only Catholic.

How the Catholic “Knights of Columbus” secret society fits into this, I haven’t a clue. Maybe some Catholic on this thread can tell us.
