Secret Society - Freemasons Yearbook for England & Wales leaked on the net

Tony Gosling | 22.11.2008 21:02 | Analysis | Gender

"The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is better than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labours, we may turn the public mind which way we will." - Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati translated from the original German and published in John Robison's 'Proofs of a Conspiracy' 1793.

Just released in the public interest, because of lots of senior British policemen are freemasons, as part of my freemasonry exposed pages at www.public-interest.co.uk/masons/

The Home Affairs select committee decided on exposure of Freemasons in public office but this was blocked, mainly by the Association Of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).

Likely audience is Government Standards officials, investigative journalists and anti-Secret Society/accountability campaigners.

Complete PDF of what is now a confidential book leaked - in genuine format - looks genuine!

Because someone wants it published on the net.

Echos the recent BNP leak.

Hey Tony man, too busy Wotching the Football

23.11.2008 12:03


yeah OK so lot's of cops and magistrates and judges are masons, try to keep on the right side of the law, or perhaps more to the point be carefull and try not to get caught.
But what interests me is how many bankrupt bankers are masons ? If your not into money laundering these days you are no one, sure there are still big profits in Opium and war, toxic waste disposal is also another top earner and chemicals are still a good earner if you can get the government to make the people eat them. But the big one is money laundering, I tell my kids if you wanna make it big when you grow up you need to be involved in International organized crime/ banking and get into some serious dirty money laundering. Football is a good place to start..

Bonus points to anyone who can OCR it!

Bonus points to anyone who can OCR this and make the names searchable.

If the fuckers that run the country want to reduce us all to entries in their Big Brother database, we should do the same to them.

I love all these leaks! Let's hope we are on a run and this is just the beginning.

We know

"yeah OK so lots of cops and magistrates and judges are masons"

EXACTLY! We knew that already.

So what's the point of this?

Stroppyoldgit


the point is we need to make the names of Freemasons public

25.11.2008 00:00

in response to Stroppyoldgit:

The point is we do all know that the country is run by Freemasons doing dodgy deals, but we need more hard facts, and we need to publicise exactly who is a Freemason. It would certainly be a coup if the membership list of the Freemasons was leaked.

for a topical example: BNP leader Nick Griffin's father is a top Freemason:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Griffin

Edgar Vincent Griffin is an English politician, previously of the Conservative Party.

He was a councillor for St Johns Wood Terrace Ward on St Marylebone Borough Council from 1959 to 1965. Griffin is the father of Nick Griffin, Chairman of the British National Party and his wife Jean was a councillor for the BNP. Griffin was a long-standing Conservative Party member and former councillor. At this time, he was vice-president of Iain Duncan Smith's party leadership election campaign in Wales. However, in August 2001, he was expelled when it was discovered that "he [was] assisting the British National Party". [1]

Griffin has been a Freemason since 1947. Among many senior Masonic appointments, he has been Worshipful Master and Worshipful Commander. Only two other Masons have held Grand Rank for longer than Edgar Griffin, who received the Grand Rank of Assistant Grand Inner Guard in 1962

Jean Griffin was the BNP candidate in Enfield North at the 1997 general election and Chingford & Woodford Green in the 2001 general election.

It's a distraction

25.11.2008 03:35

"we need to publicise exactly who is a Freemason"

Err...WHY?

OK, doesn't do any harm (except to them), but it doesn't do a lot of good, either.

Now, if you could dig out and publicise the factual details of the dodgy deals you refer to (not generalised assertions or inuendo), then you WOULD have something worth publicising. Did anyone research and publicise the names and backgrounds of all the dodgy crooks who surrounded Nixon, including the low-level ones? Probably, but that could never have brought him down. What did for Nixon was painstaking, sometimes dangerous, and detailed research on what they'd DONE.

Just publishing lists of names and offices is a diversion. It doesn't really get us anywhere much. Neither does the information that Gri££in's dad is (was?) a big-wheel mason and a former Tory councillor. I didn't know that, but I'm neither surprised nor particularly usefully informed.

It's facile to link this with the leak of the BNP contacts list. The BNP contains actively violent racists and bigots from whom people are in both immediate physical danger and longer term danger of greatly increased repression. Everyone should know where these dangers come from and who might pose them.

The freemasons are different. Their proxies, the police, may pose similar immediate dangers of violence but the freemasons, as such, don't. The various menaces to equality, justice, and a better world which the freemasons represent are neither exposed, combated or prevented by a list of names and addresses. To someone engaged in serious, focused, probably local, research it might be an occasionally useful reference tool for understanding links, but that's all it is.

Yes, tell us who the freemasons are if and when there's something specific to tell about what they're up to. I'm not blaming you for not having that sort of concrete information. I don't either.
But really, we know they're a bunch of bastards, we know they're up to all sorts of dodgy corruption and manipulation, as are other groupings and connections, and we know their secret society structure makes them very efficient at covering their tracks. So tell us something we don't know. If something we don't know isn't available, lists of names and addresses aren't a substitute.
Frankly, it would be more politically useful to spend time and creativity taking the piss out of the freemasons and holding them up to the ridicule they deserve.

It's been said before many times, but we have to grasp that what we're up against is a dysfuntional, destructive form of social relationship, NOT a conspiracy or even an aggregation of conspiracies. Such conspiracies as grovel around within that sordid social relationship are little more than minor distractions. Unfortunately, the "ah-ha, we've outed you" school of pointless triumphalism simply feeds such distractions.

Freemasonry certainly serves capitalism very well. Not in the way the freemasons think, nor in the way fondly imagined by conspiracy obsessives, but simply by taking our eye off the ball.

The point is

25.11.2008 17:44

Well Stroppy Old git the point is that lists of names are very use full, these lists are divided up into areas, like counties and boroughs so when your looking into some mafia operation involving some high class totally respected firm of solicitors in WC2 or perhaps even out of town and low and behold one of the names pops up on the list, you learn a little more about how organized crime and banks and other totally respectable crooks go about their business. Although I think you'll find that most of the names published on these lists are not the sort of people that are going to be directly involved in Gold bullion robberies or big money laundering scams. Not all freemasons are crooks and the real dodgy ones tend to stay in the background, but anyway the lists are usefull. The problem is that even if you do un cover something big no journalists working for the corporate media are going to be interested and publishing this kind of information ones self could be rather damaging to ones health. But all the same it's interesting.
Any mention of this kinda stuff on Indymedia or similar channels just gets you branded a a conspiracyloon as it seems most so called "activists" don't have any interest at all and tend to sneer at people who do.
As most of this stuff takes place off shore you need to be prepared to visit places like the Cayman Island and the dutch antilles, stay the casino maybe, always a good place to start looking for large sums of money being invested in dodgy projects, but you can find out some interesting tit bits on the net, some of these off shore criminal havens have their, chambers of commerce on line.

I did say...

"To someone engaged in serious, focused, probably local, research it might be an occasionally useful reference tool for understanding links, but that's all it is."

So what's your response to my last 2 paragraphs? I suggest THAT'S the point.

Stroppyoldgit


what lies behind the mind of a stroppy old git?

30.11.2008 22:54

A man who is on a non-mission to disprove and talk down anything I publish however useful or earth-shattering.

Names and addresses of clandestine power networks in the establishment ire Stroppy. He doesn't want them to be of use to anybody. So he doesn't have to consider secret societies in his simplistic and ineffective world view.

A child of can see that acusations of masonic collaberation mean nthing without the actual lists of lodges and names.

Stroppy old git just doesn't like me - that's why he posts silly stuff like that.

C'mon stroppy, act yer age ;-)
