Once and for all, it’s <strong>time</strong> to get at the root<br />

<strong>of</strong> Masonic influence and “secret” clubs<br />

by <strong>Michael</strong> Brown<br />

www.spiritdaily.com<br />

During the coming months there is bound to<br />

be major hoopla over a new book by Dan Brown,<br />

who wrote the blasphemous DaVinci Code.<br />

This <strong>time</strong>, hopefully, it will not be such a tirade<br />

against the Church. It may be folly to hope<br />

for that.<br />

But one beneficial thing it could bring into<br />

sharp relief is Freemasonry; any such light into<br />

that darkness is a benefit.<br />

For rumor is that the novel — tentatively entitled<br />

The Solomon Key — focuses on the mysterious<br />

Masons and their secret influence, especially<br />

in Washington, D.C.<br />

The book, claims one report, is “set to lift the<br />

veil on mysterious Freemason symbols carved<br />

into the very fabric <strong>of</strong> the historic streets and<br />

buildings <strong>of</strong> the U.S. capital.”<br />

Word is that the new adventure will be based<br />

in the heart <strong>of</strong> that city, “which could reveal some<br />

astonishing facts for history buffs.”<br />

If that is correct (and his new novel is not just<br />

another attack on Christianity), those “astonishing<br />

facts” may include what many believe is a Masonic<br />

link to the very way that the nation’s capital is<br />

laid out architecturally. An aerial view <strong>of</strong> Washington,<br />

many point out, shows a perfect square and<br />

the compass -- which are the universal symbols <strong>of</strong><br />

Freemasonry. (See picture below.)<br />

Is such simply a coincidence? We really don’t<br />

know. Perhaps no one does. George Washington<br />

is said to have demanded that the capital be laid<br />

out in a symbolic square. The shape <strong>of</strong> a square<br />

and compass is also formed by drawing a line on<br />

the map between two <strong>of</strong> the city’s major landmarks,<br />

the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, and<br />

along the walls <strong>of</strong> the White House and the Jefferson<br />

Memorial, notes the AFB news service.<br />

“At the center <strong>of</strong> these stands the Washington<br />

Monument, a vast brick obelisk whose dimensions<br />

themselves are symbolic: 555 feet high by<br />

55 wide (170 meters by 17).<br />

“The number five is said to refer to the traditional<br />

five orders <strong>of</strong> architecture — which in turn<br />

relates to the Freemasons’ regard for geometry as<br />

a symbol <strong>of</strong> order, and <strong>of</strong> ‘the great geometrician’<br />

— the supreme being,” says the news item.<br />

Inside the Capitol building, it further notes,<br />

“lies a cornerstone laid by George Washington<br />

himself, dressed in his ceremonial apron, in a Masonic<br />

ritual in 1793.”<br />

One could argue that the design <strong>of</strong> the capital<br />

is based more on neo-classical style -- the<br />

efforts to establish a new republic based on an<br />

ancient Roman republican model rather than<br />

anything that related to Freemasonry. But we are<br />

concerned with any social-spiritual group that excludes<br />

Jesus in the way Masonry does and that<br />

has initiation rituals which can be linked back to<br />

occultic Egyptians, Babylonians, and others.<br />

Are Masons part <strong>of</strong> a larger scheme?<br />

That’s something backed more with theories<br />

than evidence, but we are concerned with the ob-<br />

Jan.-Feb.-March 2008<br />

vious trend to build a world government and likewise<br />

are befuddled by the documented existence<br />

<strong>of</strong> secret groups that like Masons also include major<br />

political leaders.<br />

We’re not prone to conspiracy theories, but<br />

why the secrecy? Why, for example, are there the<br />

Bilderberg Club, the Club <strong>of</strong> Rome, and the Bohemian<br />

Grove so clandestine? And why do they<br />

some<strong>time</strong>s interweave?<br />

It is <strong>time</strong> for all <strong>of</strong> this to come aboveboard<br />

and it is remarkable that the media has never<br />

touched it — perhaps until now. Will Dan Brown’s<br />

novel provoke a needed discussion?<br />

It is <strong>time</strong> for us to understand the influence <strong>of</strong><br />

the Bilderbergs, who meet each year in tremendous<br />

secrecy. Those meetings occur in Europe<br />

and the closed-door sessions involve about 120<br />

business, government, and media leaders from<br />

that continent and also North America — including,<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten, presidential candidates.<br />

Why the secrecy? This organization not only<br />

has enormous political cloud, but allegedly influences<br />

the Federal Reserve, the European Central<br />

Bank, and the Bank <strong>of</strong> England.<br />

The goal, fear some, is to create a “world<br />

company” that will morph into a single world<br />

body <strong>of</strong> governing the masses for the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

a mysterious elite.<br />

There is Bilderberg influence over the World<br />

Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and other<br />

bodies that affect us in ways we don’t understand.<br />

It is <strong>time</strong> that we understood them. It is <strong>time</strong> too<br />

that we made our politicians explain this matter.<br />

“The Bilderberg Group is not the end but the<br />

means to a future One World Government,” writes<br />

one author, Daniel Estulin. “This organization has<br />

grown beyond its secretive beginnings to become<br />

a virtual shadow government which decides in<br />

total secrecy at annual meetings how its plans are<br />

to be carried out.”<br />

The ultimate goal, fear such writers, is to<br />

exercise hegemony over the world (starting with<br />

Eurasia) and bring about a globalized market<br />

place that would be controlled by the single government,<br />

policed by a United World Army, and<br />

financially regulated by a World Bank, with a<br />

micro-chipped population that is monitored and<br />

with life needs stripped down to “materialism<br />

and survival work, buy, procreate, sleep — all<br />

connected to a global computer that monitors<br />

our every move.”<br />

This would seem paranoid if there had not<br />

been such strides <strong>of</strong> late in introducing microchips<br />

(ostensibly to keep medical information),<br />

and if luminaries such as Henry Kissinger and<br />

the Rockefellers had not been attached to that or<br />

groups such as the Trilateral Commission.<br />

It would also seem more paranoid if there<br />

was not such a push — as we clearly see in our<br />

<strong>time</strong> — for “one unified Europe” and now even<br />

“one unified North America.”<br />

Indeed, besides the curious opening <strong>of</strong> borders<br />

is the prospect <strong>of</strong> a super-highway that would<br />

unite Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. The seed <strong>of</strong><br />

the union rests in passage <strong>of</strong> the North American<br />

Free Trade Agreement in the early 1990s under<br />

George Bush Senior (and then Bill Clinton).<br />

Paranoia? Perhaps. We have to be very careful<br />

<strong>of</strong> these matters. Is it just the domain <strong>of</strong> “Illuminati”<br />

(and the “black helicopters”)? Or do we<br />

now need to take a closer look at some <strong>of</strong> these<br />

fears?<br />

Governor Rick Perry <strong>of</strong> Texas — a strong supporter<br />

<strong>of</strong> the trans-national highway — recently<br />

fueled such apprehensions by traveling to Turkey<br />

to attend — yes — the secretive Bilderberg conference.<br />

Meanwhile, former Mexican president Vicente<br />

Fox makes no bones about his support for<br />

North American unification.<br />

Folks can go too far with such things (it seems<br />

unfair to proclaim the current President Bush as<br />

using the devil’s sign when he uses a hand signal<br />

that is really a cheer for the Texas Longhorns), and<br />

perhaps folks get overly wrought about another<br />

secret, Masonic-like group: the Skull and Bones<br />

Society, based at Yale, and with a number <strong>of</strong> leaders,<br />

including the current president, as initiates.<br />

Are we too concerned about the highly secret annual<br />

meeting <strong>of</strong> government, business, and diplomatic<br />

leaders at Bohemian Grove in California?<br />

Whatever the answer to that question, we can<br />

say that such secrecy is no huge comfort and that<br />

it’s obvious we’re in an era where corporations<br />

are laying down the foundation for a single global<br />

entity, moving even into China (which is atheistic<br />

and who is ostensibly is our enemy).<br />

How much <strong>of</strong> this is consciously designed,<br />

and how much is simply the momentum <strong>of</strong> our<br />

<strong>time</strong>s, is subject to debate. There is a spirit, however,<br />

that is moving in the world, and corporations<br />

should be watched more than anything.<br />

Will secret oligarchies and the powerful men<br />

behind the curtain soon see things to fruition?<br />

Our masses have been hypnotized by cell<br />

phones, TV, and media that are owned by corporations<br />

that are becoming multi-national and<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten participate in elite organizations (at least<br />

in the case <strong>of</strong> Bohemian Grove, which like the<br />

Masons has a ritual with occult overtones).<br />

However the Masons figure into all this (they<br />

are <strong>of</strong>ten given more credit than they may deserve),<br />

they have had their place as an example<br />

<strong>of</strong> secret initiate groups that seek to exert — and<br />

have exerted — influence.<br />

The trend is growing. The groups are expanding.<br />

And there is certainly that overlap between<br />

various organizations. Small comfort there.<br />

Whatever the influence <strong>of</strong> Masons in the<br />

architecture <strong>of</strong> Washington, it is a fact that a Masonic<br />

temple with its own architecture <strong>of</strong> sphinxes<br />

and colonnades dominates a corner <strong>of</strong> 16th <strong>St</strong>reet<br />

near the city center —- one <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> Masonic<br />

lodges in the capital and just a stone’s throw<br />

from the White House.<br />

Oh, the webs that secrecy weaves.<br />

Brown “had a contact with us but then cut it<br />

short,” said Akram Elias, grand master-elect <strong>of</strong><br />

Washington’s Grand Lodge. “We are all sitting<br />

around waiting for his book to come out but nobody<br />

knows what he’s going to say.”<br />
