Ron Paul is not, and never has been, a mason or freemason.

“Inflation, indeed, throws a veil of illusion over every economic process. It confuses and deceives almost everyone, including even those who suffer by it. We are all accustomed to measuring our income and wealth in terms of money. The mental habit is so strong that even professional economists and statisticians cannot consistently break it. It is not easy to see relationships always in terms of real goods and real welfare. [...] Inflation is the autosuggestion, the hypnotism, the anesthetic, that has dulled the pain of the operation for him. Inflation is the opium of the people.”
— Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson

If you are not familiar with William Cooper for his radio broadcasts and his book “Behold A Pale Horse” – please read and listen to him before making up your mind about Free Masonry…….and politics in general. The time is at hand that the PEOPLE KNOW, instead of GUESS, what is going on behind our backs. As long as we are “sheeple” instead of people – we will go the way of sheep and sheep are always led to slaughter………. Do NOT believe or guess until you read. RIP William Cooper for your exposition of the TRUTH…….he was murdered for his beliefs. Do you remain silent for your beliefs so you don’t get murdered, too. Guess What? The Hour Draw Nearer – we will all be murdered believers and non-believers alike…unless you are one of the elite who fit into the “grand plan”………… Sad, But VERY TRUE.

I live in the Philippines and what I am about to propose is a new system of
government to replace their present one which will work something like
this. There will be a new TV channel called The People’s Government
Channel, or words to that effect. The channel will broadcast 24 hours of
debates covering all the important issues that effect the lives of the
Filipino people. Renowned experts in all fields from the universities
and educational establishments here will be called upon to debate key
issues and once a particular debate is over the registered viewers, all
of which will be 18 or older registered voters of that channel, will
vote (using their TV remote which will have a microchip in it unique to
that particular voter), which policy they would like to see adopted in
the country and this information will be immediately broadcast in
real-time as people place their votes, much like they do on talent
shows, etc. Any idea that receives a substantial majority of votes will
be adopted as government policy. Marginal majorities will result in
further debates at a later date until there is a clear and substantial
majority vote on a particular policy. The experts who appear on this TV
channel will not receive any financial remuneration at all. They will
volunteer their time freely for the sake of their country.
This will obviously be a very radical change from the way governments
here and in most other countries operate at the moment in which a voter
gets to vote for a candidate but has little or no say at all in policies
adopted by the government that gains power.
This movement has to be an initiative by the students of the country
(the under 30s) as they will immediately be able to see the wisdom of
such a system, whereas most older people’s thinking patterns are too set
in their ways to make the effort necessary to bring this new system of
government into being, and all they will do is try to come up with
reasons why it will not work or cannot be done, etc.
The way it will be brought about will be as follows. Firstly a printed
manifesto in English and Tagalog showing exactly how the new form of
government is to be implemented in fine detail will be published after
which an “Occupy Manila” will take place along similar lines to that of
“Occupy Wall Street” except that it will be 10′s of millions of students
and older people who will be doing the occupying and will bring the city
to a complete standstill by blocking every road in Manila. They will
spend their time distributing the Manifesto to every home and building
in Manila.They will insist that the present government abdicates and
will continue the occupation of the city until every last one of them
have resigned and left their office. The present government offices will
then be occupied by a committee of students of outstanding achievement
who will be selected from all the top universities in the country by the
students themselves as a whole.
This will be a peaceful government takeover to set an example to the
rest of the world and by the time it happens the students will already
have most older people (apart from government workers perhaps) on their
side anyway, so there will be absolutely no way for the present
government to remain in power. No government Court Order will be able to
enforce the removal of the occupiers in the way it did at Wall Street
due to the sheer volume of occupiers, for there will be no way to
enforce any Court Order against 20 or 50 million determined students and
other people. Unlike Wall Street, the occupiers of Manila will have a
singleness of purpose about them. The new form of government will be
fully planned out in every detail prior to the occupation and will be
printed in the manifesto for all to see.
The Philippines will be declared a Christian/Muslim nation and as such
will not get involved in any military matters concerning other nations
at all on religious grounds. It will remain neutral in all such matters.
It will not be involved in the United Nations until such time as that
organization reforms and fully adopts to the letter the Christian
principles and ideals brought to the world by Jesus/Isa as outlined in
the Christian Bible and Koran.
The present Central Bank of the Philippines will be dissolved and
replaced by a new People’s Central Bank and all issuance of paper
currency will be backed by silver and gold in the bank reserve. All
coinage will be made from silver and gold or other precious metals.
Banks and financial institutions will no longer be allowed to loan out
money that they do not have in the way that they presently do under the
legalized fraud known as the fractional reserve banking system.
SOME BASICS OF THE PEOPLE’S GOVERNMENT MANIFESTO
Rice, Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, etc., that are grown in the
Philippines will be available in People’s Government run food stores
free of charge to Philippines permanent residents.
Healthcare will be provided free of charge to Philippines residents, and
doctors, nurses and all others involved in the healthcare service will
be employed by the People’s Government.
School education will be provided free of charge to the children of
Philippines residents in People’s Government-run schools. This will
include evening and night classes for adults. Virtual school rooms will
be provided via the Internet free of charge also. Wireless Internet
access will be available free of charge everywhere in the country and
will be run by employees of the People’s Government.
Electricity will be provided free of charge to the homes of Philippines
residents and generated mainly by Solar, Wind, Hydro and Thermal power.
Purified water will be provided to all homes free of charge.
Present residential dwellings which fall below the minimum living
standards as outlined by the People’s Government will be systematically
demolished and the occupiers of those dwellings will be provided with
the materials and needed expertise free of charge to rebuild the
dwellings in a manner fit for human habitation, observing modern health
standards.
People’s Government stores will be established which recycle clothing,
furniture and all other necessary household items and provide them to
Philippines residents who need them free of charge.
Gainful employment will be provided to all residents of the Philippines.
Privately-owned enterprises will be encouraged to flourish, and any
resident of the Philippines who is unemployed and does not have the
skills or training necessary to work in their desired field will be
provided with the necessary training free of charge through People’s
Government run Internet virtual classrooms which will enable them to
pursue the career of their own choosing. The only limitation will be
those which an individual places on him or herself through their own
apathy or laziness. Those who wish to make something of their lives will
be provided with every means to do so.
This entire idea came to me as an answer to prayer incidentally. It is
not something I tried to work out myself for I do not believe I could.
It just came to me in a flash of inspiration.
Such a movement has never been possible in the world before now, but
thanks to FaceBook, Friendster, etc., it is now very easy to reach many
millions of students with an idea in a relatively short space of time.
What Jesus described as the Kingdom of God will take shape in the
Philippines as a living example to all other nations.

Your founding fathers were signing us into a corporate contract with the british. Its was more about greed than freedom. Ben Franklin was actually on the kings payroll as a spy. He spent much of his time traveling back and forth providing the king with info regarding the colonies. The constituition was not written for we the people, but for the protection of Founding Fathers, their family, heirs and their posterity. It was nothing more than a buisness plan.. Read more here.

Well said Brother Decker,
Let the curious, the naysayers, the doubters come to any Masonic Temple Open House and meet some real American Patriots, people who really care about actual freedom and the well-being of their fellow American. Let them decide based on facts gathered face-to-face, man-to-man. They’ll find more Ron Paul supporters in Blue Lodge than in a Union Hall or a Redneck bar.

Anthony,
the fundamental issue with why anyone would oppose Freemasonry is really quite simple. Anyone familiar with the current form of masonry is well aware of Albert Pike. For those who don’t know, do some homework. When the “initiate” joins he must perform designated “tasks” in order to advance. These “tasks” seem innoccuous enough not to cause any alarm. They even appear to be helping humanity. Do your tasks and secrets of the “Mystery” will be revealed. On and on it goes for several years. Some members crap-out, others get into the whole “secret mystery” thing. If and when the initiate has proven loyalty unto the 31, 32, and 33 then is revealed the juicy little nugget that Lucifer (the light bearer) is really who you have been serving but he’s been misunderstood because he is really here to save the world.
This sophistry is not only propogated by Freemasonry. A woman from the last century named Alice Baily started a little organization known as the “Luciferian Trust” somewhere in the 1920′s, I think. Well, believe it or not that name didn’t go over too well, so it was changed to the “Lucius Trust”. She composed a little ditty she called the “GREAT INVOCATION” going on about unifying the world under a single religion. That little organization has stuck around, and now holds a permenant seat in the United Nations. And that little ditty, is read by all attendees before each session. If you think I’m full of shxT, look these things up for yourself.
So, even though for all external appearences when Freemasons do all of their good works for humanity the society remains SECRET. Why? Would the world really rush to destroy an organization whose soul principal was to do good and help their neighbor? Really? I think that it is secret for other reasons, the same kind of reasons that Skull & Bones is secret. The same reason that the Illuminati are secret. All things done by these secret societies stands in stark contrast to Christ and Christianity where all things are done in the open ( …and to all aspects of the church on Earth which continue to hold meetings in secret, they too have fallen away). As fantastic as it sounds Lucifer has a certain dominion in this world at this Time. This idea is biblically supported, for when Jesus was in the desert Satan offers Him the kingdoms of the world…if only He would bow down and yield authority to him. However, we must follow Christ’s example and always reject him even when he wants to give us candy, because…well, he’s Satan. I realize that the mere mention of the bible will cause many to wince. It is a just reaction when reflected against the devastation caused in the name of “christianity” over the centuries. However, the truth remain.
Consider this little known fact: The ONLY confederate general form the with a statue in Washington DC is Albert Pike. This is strange, since he was far from a glorious general. He is there because of his masonry. The founding “fathers” were all adepts in the Rites of Masonry and the city is laid out on the Leys. Most fantastic of all Pike predicted 3 world wars which he described to be necessary to bring about the new unified world government… all the way back in the 1870′s!
Go figure !

Dave: I Have been thinking about what is said, and the way I said it and decided that I should apologize for mocking you. I did do a little research like you asked, even though you probably will not believe it… and that is your prerogative. The illuminati was founded in bavaria in 1777, and it was disbanded for trying to propagate rational thinking in 1784. It was a product of the enlightenment movement. Freemasonry is also a product of the enlightenment movement. I don”t understand where reason and rational thinking is evil, but I see that you have a different understanding of these groups. And I acknowledge your right to hate any entity that you choose. That is why this country is so great!

Ok. Here is how you find out if Ron Paul is a mason. You contact the grande lodge of Texas… and you ask them if Ron Paul is a member. Membership is no secret. I am satisfied with the note, and I am glad he is not a mason. Because if he was, a bunch of goobers wouldn’t vote for him even though he is the only worthy candidate. But after he is elected and served his term, I would be delighted if he petitioned to join the fraternity. He is a very noble and intelligent man! I am appalled that this is the deciding factor for so many people. That they would hand the country over to the easily corruptable rather than a freemason.

I dunno about you guys, but personally I’ve never seen Ron Paul’s handwriting. I also have no idea who Charolette is. I also have no idea what context this note was presented in, or what preceded it.
This entire argument is based on a very circumstantial photograph presented with no supporting evidence. THIS is what America needs to wake up to. False arguments do little more than spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt – tools of evil and oppression no matter who is using them.

It sounds like something from a fantasy novel… a bunch of gremlins and evil wizards conspire in secret meetings and make a pact with the devil to rule the world. I mean, just because you can google doesn’t make you a master researcher of history. Pick up a book for God’s sake. Actually read a text composed by one of the groups you condemn. If you actually did your own footwork and studied for yourself, rather than cruise conpiracy theorist’s blogs, you might actually be able to develop an intelligent opinion. If you rely on the opinions of others, you are bound to be misled…

I’m with Skip and Seraph, I, too am a Free and accepted Mason and proud to be amongst many, many good men. I’m also an ardent follower of Ron Paul because he does display and has for several decades displayed consistently the virtues of truth , honest and sound judgement and lack of fear in opposing the status quo. Although he would certainly make a worthy Mason, it makes no difference to me whether he is or not.

Tom,
If you are a indeed a Mason and have not been indoctrinated into the 33rd degree you would not be aware of the true nature of the group. Only 33rd degrees are aware of the Order which sits above them. Those below the 33rd degree are refered to by those of the Order as “useful fools”. Take a good look at your masonic symbolism. Most of it has its origins in the occult symbolism of the followers of Luciferianism. You should reconsider your connections to these people before it is too late. Once the NWO is fully realized you and your brothers will have out-lived your usefulness.

ATTENTION ATTENTION
If you read History as actively as you should, you will see, that Freemasons are a branch of the Illuminati… if you read about the Illuminati you will find that they have a global plan for world domination, and have lots of members in high places in all countries governments around the globe. I’m a crazy insane “conspiracy theorist” right? Go and type “Illuminati mission statement” into Google and see what you can find. Also, Just for fun, go and research the bloodlines of the Obama, Bush, and the Kennedy families and see who could possibly be related to one another… but be careful it just may shock you.
Free and accepted Mason huh? Well, needless to say I don’t believe that Freemasons are branching from anything good, and Probably why Ron Paul made it known posting a handwritten picture denouncing that he has anything, or has ever had anything, to do with Freemasonry. Or else, ask yourself, why did he even bother going through any trouble to show others he is not a Freemason? Could it be that he wants to make clear he’s not involved in anything evil??? Wake up America, Question everything and everyone.
Oh but please don’t take my word, or anyone’s word for it. I suggest, if you seek the truth, then seek it for yourself, and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. We still have a free internet… well at least until the government tries to take that away from us; SPOILER ALERT: They are right now! If you pay attention to politics you will see all the “censorship of the internet” bills they are (unsuccessfully) trying to pass. Deeming under false “copyright infringement laws” to mask the true nature of their intentions.
And as long as we have a free internet, then we will have the ability to see all the dirty secrets, and boner deals they they are trying to pull.
I think they are starting to understand, the horrible truth, that its pretty difficult to control a population when we have the ability to actually communicate with one another so quickly.
Ron Paul is not getting the media coverage he deserves, because other organizations, with members in high places, don’t want him to… Plain and simple.
Ron Paul is getting my vote, because he is for us. NOT for the Illuminati

Dave,
You are correct. But time is fast running out for everyone. They have planned to start WWIII by using Iran as a scapegoat. Everyone should also be aware that the nation of Isreal in a creation of the Rothschilds. One of the highest levels of the 13 major Illuminati crime families. They and their gofers in the US and EU want to kill 2/3 of the world’s population while they wait it out in their underground bases. This is being played out now before everyones eyes. It may be a matter of days before this begins. It will certainly happen before the end of 2012. 2012 is very important for them because they want to fulfill certain prophecies including those of the Book of Revelation so that they can bring about the New World Order of Lucifer. I know that two of their underground bases in the US were destroyed by the “Resistance” in August. This does not seem to have delayed their plans.
I can only hope that if they succeed before the Resistance can stop them, that those of us who are left will hunt them down and bring them to justice.
One of their biggest strengths is that they go about their business unseen by the general population. One thing that may weaken them is that their names and positions in goevernment, banks and corporations should be published for the world to see. This would make them constant targets. They would not have as much time to plan problems for the rest of us if they were constantly running for their lives.

I too am a Free and Accepted Mason and thank both Seraph and Brother Skip for the kind comments. Before becoming a Free and Accepted Mason, I too was concered about Masons running the world. There is actually fewer Masons today in politics than there were at the turn of the 19th century. Since then, our liberties have eroded away, etc. I could go on and on but I am clearly preaching to the choir about our government’s humungous growth.
Long story short, most conspiracy theories contain huge gaps of logic. Just because one person is a Mason and is in position “X”, does not mean that the entire organization is behind this person. If a bad person drinks Coca Cola, does this mean all Coca Cola drinkers are bad people? No!
For liberty!

Whether RP is a Mason or not makes no difference to me. I care about what a candidate’s plan for the nation is, not what he does in his personal life.
I have known many Masons in my life, and they have all been moral and respectable people, and many are strong advocates of personal liberty and the constitution (which was largely written by Masons afterall). I have met 32nds and 33rds who are just like any average middle class American.
At one time in my life I bought into this conspiracy theory nonsense, until I started checking the facts and meeting actual Masons and realizing they aren’t the Satan-worshipping reptilians the Google Scholars claim they are. The vast majority of anti-mason conspiracy theories are little more than fundamentalist Christian propaganda.

Reply to a comment by “Seraph.” I agree with you, that it doesn’t make any difference whether or not Ron Paul is a Freemason. I, however, am proud to be a Freemason. Thank you for not “buying into” the negativity about Freemasonry. To become a Mason, there are two basic requirements: 1. The believe in a “higher power.” 2. You must be a good moral character. Freemasonry is not a religion, however, we do have two prayers in our “opening & closing” of a Lodge meeting. Out of all the fraternal organizations, Masonry is the only one that has both the Pledge of Alegience and prayer. You are correct in that the vast majority of signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States were Freemasons. Also, other facts, it was the Masonic Lodge of Boston that conducted the “Boston Tea Party;” and Masons started the Under-ground Railroad. Ron Paul would make a great Mason, as he has the morals, personal integrity, and a believe in our Creator. Out of all candidates for President, Ron Paul is the only one that has the character and honesty to say where he stands; NOT just “what people want to hear!” I’m proud to be a part of the “Ron Paul Revolution!”
