TRAPPED IN A MASONIC WORLD

- 104 -
provide the committee with the names of Masonic police officers involved with units responsible for
several miscarriages of justice. Despite indicating to the committee in November 1997 that the United
Grand Lodge would reveal these names, a 50-strong meeting of the Masonic Board of General Purposes
had ordered Higham not to reveal them after all. The miscarriages of justice in question were major ones:
the scandalous ruining of John Stalker, who got too close to the truth in his investigations into the Royal
Ulster Constabulary‘s [RUC] Shoot-to-Kill policy in Northern Ireland; the disgraced West Midlands
Serious Crime Squad which after 30 charges of misconduct, was closed down in 1986, and the discredited
police investigation into the Birmingham pub bombings which led to the malicious prosecution and
imprisonment of the now pardoned Birmingham Six. The following paragraph shows the true extent and
how powerful the Freemasons, thus the UK‘s Illuminati really are.
Masonic Manipulation - Ex-police officers had made allegations that Freemason officers in the West
Midlands Serious Crime Squad had operated a ―firm within a firm‖. Serious allegations of malign
Masonic manipulation extended to police officers in the John Stalker affair and to both journalists and
police officers implicated in the Birmingham Six scandal. The Home Affairs Select Committee, which had
been considering the influence of Freemasonry on the judiciary and police since 1995, wanted to know
which of the 161 names under suspicion in these cases, were Freemasons - so that it could assess the
validity of these allegations. But now, Commander Higham - who once gave a speech asserting ―there is
very little secret about Freemasonry‖, - was refusing to comply with one of the most powerful select
committees in parliament; ―I hope you will accept that is ‗no‘, but not with contempt‖, he whimpered in
his impossible situation as public fall guy for the clandestine Masonic hierarchy. For a while a
constitutional crisis looked on the cards.
The Sergeant at Arms issued an order giving the United Grand Lodge 14 days to comply with the
request of the Committee. - No one had ever defied parliament in this way before but now the Freemasons
thought themselves powerful enough to try. Both parliament and the press held its breath, and when
finally, as the deadline approached, a deal was made. The United Grand Lodge agreed to provide Chris
Mullin, the Chairman of the Select Committee, with the requested names on condition that only he and the
clerk [who you can bet is also Freemason] to the committee could see them! Not even the other members
of the Committee would be allowed to see them and many argued that the necessity to strike a deal at all
provided further evidence of the extant political power still wielded by Freemasons. The ill-fated
Commander Michael Higham, who many view as a relatively harmless Freemason occupying a public
relations role, informed the Select Committee that the United Grand Lodge was to retire him early for
reasons that he did not know!
On the Friday 26th March 2010, relatives of two IRA men shot dead by SAS soldiers 20 years ago are
to go before the UK‘s highest court as part of a legal battle over inquests into the killings. In an unusual
step, senior judges granted leave for lawyers representing the families of Dessie Grew and Martin
McCaughey to take their case to the Supreme Court in London. Their decision was described as a major
development with ―profound implications‖ for nearly 20 cases involving deaths which predate domestic
enforcement of the European Convention on Human Rights. - Grew, 37, and McCaughey, 23, were gunned
down close to isolated farm outbuildings at Lislasley outside Loughgall, Co Armagh in October 1990.
It is believed the building had been under surveillance for some time by the SAS - three AK47 assault
rifles were found nearby afterwards. Legal papers in the judicial review application claim four soldiers
fired 72 rounds at the two men, with autopsy reports showing Grew was riddled with 48 wounds while
McCaughey was hit by 10 bullets. Their deaths are part of a series of shootings which led to allegations of
a Shoot-to-Kill policy by the security forces, are to be reinvestigated by detectives from the Historical
Enquiries Team.
That new probe was not completed at the end of 2010, raising concerns that the oldest outstanding
inquest in Northern Ireland could be put back further. Lawyers for their families claimed the failure to
hold a prompt inquest breached their right to life under European legislation. They also contended that it
flouted domestic law requirements for a tribunal to be set up to examine the deaths as soon as possible.
Solicitor Fearghal Shiels of Madden and Finucane, the firm representing the families, emphasised the
importance of the outcome. He said: ―This is a highly significant development which may have profound
implications not only for this inquest, but for other old inquests, numbering almost 20, where the death
pre-dates the coming into force domestically of the European Convention on Human Rights. - The next of
kin of those deceased may now be in a position to rely upon their rights guaranteed under the Convention
