(I discuss this and much more in my new book, Order of the Eye: The Secret Force that Runs the World. It is available in both paperback and eBook formats)
One of the most important aspects of our reality is the organization we call the Freemasons. In fact, this group was utterly foundational in the innerworkings of early America . . . and it still is.
In this lengthier article, I provide and introduction to this macabre organization and display why its very existence should matter greatly to all people. This is taken directly from Order of the Eye.
If you find this interesting, I go into far more detail about the Freemasons and their overall significance within the very Order that runs our world.
May your eyes be opened.
_______________
Before us stand many figures and organizations that appear to run the world. There are presidents, senators, governors, prime ministers, royal families, emissaries, and all manner of other dignitaries. There are law and intelligence agencies, like the CIA, FBI, DIS, CIRO, MOSSAD, MI6, and a host of others throughout the world. There are various intergovernmental agencies that unite a host of countries, like the UN, the WHO, and NATO.
Then, of course, there are the Federal Reserve and the central banking systems across the globe that control the world’s financial structures. Some might call this interconnected system of financial powers the “Central Banking Cabal.” All these are the personalities and structures that run the world, as we understand it.
However, all these groups and individuals form the outward expression of something far more hidden. What if I told you that there is another force behind it all: a fraternity of darkness that blurs the line between corrupt humanity and the spiritual powers in the heavenly realms? We are talking about something well beyond the scope of our governments and recognizable organizations. It goes much deeper than what is commonly seen in everyday life. This is the power behind it all. Or, at least, it is as far into the darkness as we are able peer. What, then, is this incredible force that is hidden from our sight but runs the world?
The first thing to understand about this cabal of darkness is that it isn’t entirely hidden. In fact, their meeting locations exist in nearly every town and city around the world. Chances are that you (whoever you are) can visit even the smallest town near you and find one erected in an unassuming location. You simply can’t miss it, and still most do. The “hidden” element is not the fraternity that is visible on so many street corners. Rather, it is what lay behind this front of goodness and virtue that mysteriously cloaks it. Those who exist in the deepest recesses of this organization are the ones behind the ones who are running our governments and world system. Then, as you will see, there is yet another power behind all that. The concealed group running our world is what we might call the “Order of the Eye.” However, most of us have heard of them by another name that essentially serves as the head of the snake: the Freemasons.
Before discussing the Freemasons, I am fully aware that some who are wise to the practice of this fraternity will say that it’s an order called “the Jesuits” who really control the Freemasons. In fact, they may say that it’s indeed the Jesuits who run the world. Others will suggest that the Jesuits and Freemasons are mortal enemies on opposite sides of the spectrum. After having investigated this for some time, I have determined that there is indeed no meaningful difference between these groups. While they are different in their titles and power positions, the truth is that Freemasons and Jesuits are inseparable in practice.
For all intents and purposes, they are all members of the Order of the Eye; they are all one in spirit. In fact, the emblems for both the Freemasons and the Jesuits—and the modern Knights Templars, which happen to occupy the highest order within the York Rite of Freemasonry—contain a cross and the sun. They are interconnected, as are most of the “secret societies” around the world. In short, Freemasonry sits atop virtually all of them. But let’s not get the cart before the horse. For now, suffice it to say that I will only refer to the Freemasons because they serve as the “king of secret societies,” and completely separating them from the Jesuits is, at the end of the day, a distinction without a meaningful difference.
With this said, let’s begin discussing this peculiar group. While you are probably aware of their basic existence and may even have heard tales about their involvement in world affairs, you are about to learn about them in a truly robust way. Freemasons boast of being the “oldest fraternity in the world,”[1] and they are right. In fact, their order goes back to the Tower of Babel, which will be discussed in due course. Many are aware that some of the most influential people in all history, like the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, were Freemasons.
To this day, a bust of George Washington—the great Revolutionary general and first president of the United States—stands at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. On its inscription—before the title of “first president,” and with specific intent—is the word, “Freemason.” It reads: “Freemason” and “First President of the United States.”
This first allegiance to Freemasonry is standard among all Freemasons but is even evident among the leaders of the world. This is also why the tombstones of most Masons showcase a symbol of their involvement in the fraternity. In fact, many members are even buried while wearing one of their sacred aprons (discussed later). Even in death they are Masons, and it’s the one thing they desire the people of the world to remember about them.
It was Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the United States, who once remarked: “Although I hold the highest civil honour in the world, I have always regarded my rank and title as a Past Grand Master of Masons the greatest honour that had ever come to me.”[2] Ironically, being the 33rd president corresponds nicely with being a 33rd degree Freemason, the highest (honorary) degree possible within the fraternity. It should also be noted that being a “Grand Master” means that the individual oversees an entire Masonic jurisdiction and is also called “Most Worshipful Grand Master.” The master of a local lodge is simply referred to as the “Worshipful Master.” That’s right, “Worshipful Master.”
Truman, like Washington before him, regarded being a Freemason as a greater accomplishment than becoming the leader of the “free world.” Other Freemasons (or simply, “Masons”) that were presidents include Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, James Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and William G. Harding.[3] However, it must be noted at the onset of this section that virtually no one—and I mean no one—obtains such a high status in politics, entertainment, or world leadership, without being a part of either the male fraternity (the Freemasons) or its female sorority and counterpart (The Order of the Eastern Star). As Manly P. Hall—a Freemason whose work we will discuss at length in proceeding sections—once noted:
“The Master Mason is afforded opportunities far beyond the reach of ordinary man, but he must not fail to realize that with every opportunity comes a cosmic responsibility.”[4]
One rarely, if ever, reaches the heights of success in our world without going through the Order. It virtually cannot happen. This applies not only within the U.S. but to countries around the world. Freemasonry’s tentacles extend into the power structures of all civilized nations. Considering this, the former presidents are just a sampling of those who have been clearly connected to the organization. In truth, nearly every man to ever sit in the Oval Office either was or is a Mason. In fact, so were their spouses: the “First Ladies.” The same goes for senators, congressman and woman, and often even local politicians and prominent businesspeople.
Now, claims of this magnitude are impossible to fully prove in one section of a book or even within an entire book. This is especially true, considering that one’s allegiance to Freemasonry is often only visible through the signs and symbols they show to the world; Freemasonry is mainly displayed to the public through hand gestures and other visible signs of one’s allegiance to the Order. The claim that nearly all influential members of society are Masons is the result of reading, watching, and pouring over copious amounts of information. While I cannot “prove” this beyond a doubt here and now, I will certainly provide much to consider.
What I can definitively say is that I am willing to stake my entire reputation on this reality. Allow me to state this clearly: if I am wrong in the assertion that the Order of the Eye runs the world and that the Freemasons are at the top of its power structure then please disregard all other resources available from me. Don’t read another book or article, watch another video, or entertain even one more idea. Indeed, I am that confident of this reality. With that said, the key question is this: why does it matter if the world is run by the Masons and other connected societies? Trust and believe that it matters far more than any of us could ever fully comprehend.
When one enters their local “lodge”—that is, the local assembly of Masons—they must first be invited and vouched for by an existing Mason. In truth, I was approached by an acquaintance about this very matter roughly 6-7 years ago. I had been discussing such things as religion and politics with him for some time and, one day, he asked if I knew anything about the Masons. At that time, I knew very little beyond the fact that numerous Christian churches and establishments barred their members from joining the fraternity (and other secret societies).
With my limited knowledge, I still felt uneasy about the proposition and respectfully declined. It wasn’t long afterwards that Altiyan Childs—a musician and former winner of Australia’s “The X Factor” music competition—released his colossal, almost six-hour long video on the nature of Freemasonry. Less than twenty minutes into viewing it, I realized just how important it would be. In a sense, his video was the catalyst for my own “initiation” into the evil that runs our world. From there, I spent several years looking into these matters, creating my own videos and articles along the way. Many of my findings are now being shared within this book.
Getting back to the previous point, I was indeed asked to become a member of the Freemasons. As I came to understand through research (and as you will clearly see), my skepticism was more than warranted. A Mason’s journey through the labyrinth of the fraternity is marked by various ceremonial levels, or “degrees.”
Broadly speaking, there are three primary degrees to be achieved.
The first marks the entrance into Freemasonry and is called the “Entered Apprentice” degree. It is here that one first becomes a member of the sacred tradition and is accepted as a “Brother.” The second pushes one farther into the fraternity and is called the “Fellow Craft” degree. As one prominent lodge describes it: “The second degree represents the symbolic growth from youth to manhood as a Brother accepts more responsibility within the fraternity.”[5] Lastly, the third is known as the “Master Mason” degree. It is described by the same lodge as follows: “As the final and highest honor in Freemasonry, the Master Mason degree symbolizes man’s maturity through increased knowledge and wisdom.” These three degrees mark one’s time within what is called the Blue Lodge, or the Symbolic Lodge.
While Master Mason is the highest degree within the Blue Lodge of Freemasonry, this is only where things get going. That is, it’s simply the entry point into the system for those who desire to go farther. It is at this juncture that the Master Mason can choose his own path by continuing to study and train in “the Craft” by joining one of the “appendant bodies” of Freemasonry. These include The Scottish Rite (32° Freemasonry), The York Rite, the Order of the Eastern Star (for women), and The Shrine (i.e. the Shriners), to name a few.[6]
Yes, even the beloved Shriners are required to venture through the Masonic ranks to achieve their positions. Who would ever have thought? Within each appendant body, there is a unique but overlapping path to the top of the fraternity/sorority.
While more about the ritualistic aspects of the fraternity will be discussed a bit later, let’s return for a moment to the initial degrees of Freemasonry. To simply start down the potentially long and mysterious path of the Mason, rather peculiar things are required. At the very entrance into the Order, the candidate is said to be one “who has long been in darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light.”[7] Shortly afterwards, his very life is threatened. The Masonic “Entered Apprentice Oath”—which marks one’s entrance into the Entered Apprentice degree—varies slightly depending on lodge and location (as do other ceremonies) but always involves pledging to avoid sharing a single secret (or anything pertaining to a secret) about Freemasonry. It goes so far as to require that the candidate does not:
“. . . write, indite, print, paint, stamp, stain, hue, cut, carve, mark or engrave the same upon anything movable or immovable, whereby or whereon the least word, syllable, letter, or character may become legible or intelligible to myself or another, whereby the secrets of Freemasonry may be unlawfully obtained through my unworthiness.”[8]
If you have ever had a Mason tell you that he cannot reveal the innerworkings of the fraternity, this is where that comes from. However, the horrible penalties at stake—which the lodge has complete authority to exercise—help to solidify this point:
“To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in my whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.”[9]
Did you catch the results of revealing anything—including even the smallest guarded point—about Freemasonry to someone outside of the fraternity? A member who breaks his oaths can have their throat cut, tongue torn out, or be buried alive and drowned by the rising of the tide. Not to worry though: the candidate has invoked “God” to help him keep his oaths.
At the initiation ceremony into the Fellow Craft degree, of the second degree, more odd things occur.[10] Among them is that the candidate is partially disrobed, blindfolded (or “hoodwinked”), and a rope is tied around him. During the ceremony, it is stated again on multiple occasions that he is in search of “more light” and, when the blindfold is later removed, it is said to be awarded to him. He again kneels before the sacred altar and the Worshipful Master to swear additional oaths. Among them include the following words:
“All this I most solemnly promise and swear with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or self-evasion of mind whatever, binding myself under no less penalty than of having my breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and placed on the highest pinnacle of the temple (some say, My heart and vitals taken from thence, and thrown over my left shoulder, and carried into the valley of Jehoshaphat, etc.), there to be devoured by the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly violate the Fellow Craft obligation. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same.”
Once more, the graphic details of breaking one’s oaths are on full display.
During initiation into the Master Mason degree, or the third degree, the stakes go up another notch. Here, one must further humiliate himself and disavow all that matters most in life. The candidate is further disrobed, now only being permitted to wear his shirt and drawers. This involves the removal of his jewelry (as though to appear impoverished) which includes his wedding ring and—get this—his crucifix, if he is wearing one. Yes, one must remove the very thing that outwardly symbolizes their allegiance to Jesus. Isn’t that curious? What’s equally curious is that he is repeatedly said to be searching for even more light. In case it hasn’t become obvious yet, the topic of light is extremely important within Freemasonry, and much time will be spent discussing it in the last chapter.
For now, observe the teaching on display within these ceremonies. Jesus referred to himself as the “Light of the world” (Jn. 8:12), yet the Mason’s progression into the fraternity somehow enables him to “enter the light.” This, alone, should be enough to repel anyone who calls Jesus their Savior from continuing through the process. Any genuine believer who knows their Bible should be hearing the alarm bells ringing. Since Jesus is the Light of the world, it logically follows that his disciples already walk in the light. In fact, Jesus even referred to his followers as the “light of the world” (Mt. 5:14).
Christ is both the Light and the means to walking in the light. How, then, can entering Freemasonry bring a person—especially someone who professes to be a Christian—into the light?
Amazingly, this seldom acts as a deterrent for those involved in Freemasonry. I personally know numerous Masons who see no conflict between their Christian faith and their participation in the Masonic enterprise. However, the issues go much deeper.
Consider the other elements that were mentioned within the initiation ceremonies of the three primary degrees of Freemasonry. The initiate is blindfolded, stripped down to his underclothes and forced to bear his chest, and a noose is tied around his neck. All this is done to induce shame in the initiate (by showing his “blindness” and ignorance) and to provide evidence of his utter helplessness. To fully solidify his vulnerability, he is then led at the point of a sword (or a dagger) to meet the “Worshipful Master,” or the master of the lodge. Before him, the candidate swears oaths not to reveal any of the secrets of their Order, with the sword being a reminder of what awaits him if he should do so. Before moving on, let’s quickly take stock of what has been said.
The candidate’s submission before the “Worshipful Master” is, of course, macabre as well. Jesus plainly issued the following command to his followers: “Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ” (Mt. 23:10, KJV).[11] This matter is intensified when we consider that the individual whom the candidate is both kneeling before and swearing an oath to is deemed to be “worshipful.” That, of course, means that the person is worshipped by the candidate. Enough said there. Finally, there is that pesky issue of swearing an oath in the first place. Jesus gave these instructions to his followers:
“But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.”[12]
James, Jesus’ half-brother, echoed this very command in his letter:
“But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your ‘yes’ be yes and your ‘no’ be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation” (5:12).
Without any question, followers of Christ are expressly forbidden to take oaths, much less the kind that involve penalties of death and before a man called the Worshipful Master. Already, we have clear indications about the nature of the so-called “light” within Freemasonry. We can also plainly see that true Christianity is completely incompatible with the requirements of the Masonic lodge.
If you find this behavior surprising, then know that there is something far more shocking about it all. Understand that nearly every single prominent member of society has entered the Masonic Order (by some means or another), having said their vows and performed their rituals.
You may doubt the claim, and you may also doubt that these oaths and rituals really mean anything at all. Maybe it’s all in jest, right? For now, ponder why anyone would “jest” about tearing someone’s entrails out after stripping them, blindfolding them, and then requiring them to take such gruesome oaths. This could be why Masons will not reveal anything of note about their most sacred practices. If you don’t believe me, then simply try asking one about the inner workings of their Craft.
Believe it or not, this is only what is included in the initial degrees of Freemasonry. To climb the to the top of the world, one must participate in far more concerning behavior.
