Sweden reflects on Anna Lindh's death


During second world war a lot of american money involved in IG Farben

This was all Rothschild money

Wars manipulated & financed on both sides by the Rothschilds & Associates at great
profit to them who ended up each time there was a war with most of country's Gold
Reserve's in payment for munitions and weapons to U.S. industrial munitions and weaponry companies owned and financed by powerful Rothschild Banking Family using German Zionist Jewish American partners as fronts for them in the U.S constantly bankrupted Britain-USA-Germany etc.

The Second World War had bankrupted Britain
During the 1939–1942 period, the UK depleted much of its gold stock in purchases of munitions and weaponry on a "cash and carry" basis from U.S.Industrial munitions and weaponry companies owned and financed by powerful Rothschild Banking Family using German Zionist Jewish American partners as fronts for them in the U.S. One of those companies was Beyer (formerly IG Farben), which later became known as Beyer which also produced the gas chambers Zyklon B,  the steel, other chemicals  and the rail road line,  for the German Nazi Death Camps,  munitions, other chemicals, and all kinds of stuff. The president of Beyer (formerly IG Farben) Fritz ter Meer, the senior manager at IB Farben, was convicted of crimes against Humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes on 29th July, 1948. Although he co-operated with SS and the Final Solution, Fritz ter Meer was sentenced to 7 years only in War Criminal Prison, but only served about three years in prison

"An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish.
Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head."

Eric Hoffer (1902–83), U.S. philosopher.

Sometimes it appears the only reason some people speak against Freemasonry is for attention they'll receive. It's true: good works get scant attention while the unruly and ill-behaved are wonderful items for the news.

Some anti-Masons appear 'sparkling' for a few brief seconds in the limelight and then - just as quickly - sputter out (sometimes quite literally) and are gone. Here we'll briefly mention those who've caught our attention.

 

bullet

Marshall Almarode - Uses the tired 'oath swearing' argument and whines because he found rituals that he were told were secret but really weren't (as a result of anti-Masonic exposures by people just like himself). Circular reasoning in the extreme. He also blames much of his problem on membership in DeMolay and yet doesn't even know how to spell the name of the organization to which he belonged for several years. One really must question the discernment involved. You can find his 'testimony' here.
..........
 

bullet

James M. Baker - Claims to have been a Mason for 18 years and Master of an lodge SIX times!!! as well as a son, son-in-law, grandson and brother of Masons but still - apparently - had no idea that Freemasonry allowed men of different faiths to become members. Supposedly after a year of studying, he discovered that Freemasonry wasn't compatible with Christianity and now he evangelizes with Ed Decker. You can read how someone could have missed all of these things for so long and after having been so involved right here.
...............
 

bullet

Eric Barger - Blending religious fanaticism with new world order paranoia, this 'recovered' drug and alcohol addict who abused his spouse will now tell you about all the wrongs in the world - and has, from the pictures, made a pretty fair living out of doing so. An adherent of Gary Kah's conspiracy theories as well as folks like Ed Decker, you can visit Eric's website and learn lots more.
...............
 

bullet

Dave Barley - A 'Christian Identity' preacher, Barley teaches white/adamic domination of race and, along with the many other groups he seems to despise, Freemasonry gets tossed in right there beside the conspiracy theories and hatred. Identified on the well-respected hatewatch. org and by the Southern Poverty Law Center (use the word "Barley" in the search engine there) as a prime example of hate, it's not surprising that Jews and Freemasons would be included in his diatribes. You can find a LOT of Barley's hate-oriented material at his 'America's Promise Ministries'.
...............

bullet

Mark Bayonne - This individual who works in the computer industry is among the 'religious zealot' variety who's convinced that his interpretation of the Bible supersedes that of the many clergy and those trained in religion who've found no objection to Freemasonry. He's promised to pray for this site's author - and we're appreciative. Because our exchanges with Mark were via e-mail, there's no web site or quoted commentary: suffice it to say, however, that we feel his understanding of Scripture is totally incorrect.
...............
 

bullet

Steward Bedellion - This Baptist minister claims that Masons practiced "spiritual warfare" against him, causing him to be removed from his pastorate. Crazy to think that whoever he follows religiously wouldn't have the power to defeat such evil, don't you think? You can read all about his claims right here.
...............
 

bullet

Josh Bempechat - If you're in Venice Beach, California, you can visit Josh's 'legalization of hemp/marijuana and political conspiracy' stand.  Mr. Bempechat claims to have discovered the medicinal properties of marijuana at age 13 and since then has actively used it for - as he claims - "medical reasons". He also states "HEMP / Cannabis Marijuana was outlawed directly by the Freemasons in this country <the United States> and internationally for the sole purpose of creating synthetic petrochemical and pharmaceutical alternatives that they could sell through multinational corporations they control, at highly inflated prices." and he adds "BUT, when the FREEMASONS find it in their interest to get rid of something for profit and power, it doesn't matter if GOD put it there, it won't get in the way of business as usual for the FREEMASONS." As of 2002, he was proud to note that he had been studying the sovereignty and redemptionist movements for some 7 years. We're naturally curious as to how someone so involved with illegal drugs (he claims, on doctor's orders but fails to say what medical condition necessitates this and the person he claims as his 'doctor' was disqualified as a court witness as being merely a shill for marijuana users) and who ekes out a living by selling brochures at a stand on a pier (apparently for the past several years) is able to uncover these hugely secret world conspiracies. His "Freedom Domain" website will tell you all about them though. Mr. Bempechat writes "I am not stupid, and I am very spiritual and the Spirit guides me in my life, and God is on my side, and looks after me."  <chuckle>

bullet

William A. BeVier - The president of an organization called 'Religion Analysis Service, Inc.' of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA. a supposedly "non-profit interdenominational ministry dedicated to combating false teachings through the printing and distributing of literature covering a large number of cults." Their organization lists anti-Mason Ron Carlson on their 'Board of Reference'. Apparently the business of deceit is profitable for them as their web site was recently advertising a job opening for an office manager.
..............
 

bullet

Lawrence Blanchard - We had originally referred to this individual as a {'Christian Identity' "minister" from Eatonville, WA, USA and active White Aryan Nations member. Supporter of the 'Protocols'. Need we say more?} but on February 5, 2003, we received an e-mail from him stating "I am not a Christian Identity ministry. <sic> I am a pastor of a Christian covenant church and I am not located in Eatonville Washington. Furthermore, I am not, nor have I ever been, an active member or a member at all of any White Aryan nations organization." Perhaps we got it wrong when we wrote that he was a member. If so, we certainly apologize. Nevertheless, he has written a book titled "Standing on the Premises" about which he writes in the Forward: "The Christian-Israel Identity movement is steadily being received by an increasing number of Anglo- and Celto-Saxon people in America with great joy and encouragement." It continues: "...of course, an overwhelming preponderance of Biblical evidence supporting the claim that the White race of European stock, and not the Jews, are God's "peculiar treasure"". And while in his e-mails he says he's discontinued his book, we find it clearly still for sale on the website of the "Tabernacles of the Phineas Priesthood/Aryan Nations" website here. Blanchard claims that the CI label was too broad to describe him but he doesn't seem to want us to find out what flavor of "Christian covenant" beliefs he now holds. We wonder too who's taking care of the orders at that PO Box in Washington since Mr. Blanchard now seems to be using an ISP in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.... You can find an analysis of the 'Christian Identity' movement which Blanchard now ostensibly eschews which includes comments about Blanchard's work by clicking here.

Gary D. Blevins - In 1990, this former life insurance agent privately published a lavishly illustrated paperback book titled "666 - The Final Warning" which explained his conception of yet another end-times conspiracy based on the very tired 'bible code' concept. Using his clearly fool-proof method, Blevins "proved" that Ronald Reagan was the anti-Christ even though in 1990 when it was published, Reagan was not even in power and would soon be totally incapacitated with Alzheimer's Disease. Nevertheless, Belvins argued that Reagan would regain power on a global scale, would rule the world with a supercomputer and would be assisted in his satanic plans by - you guessed it! - the (according to him) satanic cult Masons. Blevins was quite certain of these things and, in fact, advised that in 1991-94 New York City would be destroyed and UFOs would land. In 1998, Reagan would be cast into the Lake of Fire, the faithful will experience the rapture and Jesus will come back. "Most real theologians in our day flatly state that we will not see the year 2000 before the Lord returns! I strongly agree with that statement." Uh-huh...

President Reagan continued to live - although ostensibly without use of his mind due to the ravages of his disease - until 2004. 2000 came and went as pretty much a non-event and those aliens haven't made an appearance now over a decade later. Like many anti-Masons before and since, these absurd claims that a fraternal organization was somehow plotting to overthrow the world is just so much stupidity.

bullet

Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz - The evangelical Roman Catholic Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska who in 1996 threatened mass excommunication of parishioners if they didn't terminate their membership in or support of 12 specific organizations. Excommunication means that they cannot receive Holy Communion or any of the sacraments of their Church. One of the most prestigious US Catholic newspapers, The Pilot, was quite critical of Bishop Bruskewitz for his unilateral actions and Chicago's much-beloved Cardinal Bernardin, in a highly unusual move breaking the solidarity amongst Catholic leaders, questioned the Bishop's wisdom. It appears that the Bishop's action was to stifle dissent in his diocese and was targeting 'Call to Action' - a group for reform within the Church. You can read more documentation on this issue here. We also found it quite comical to see John Vennari, rabid anti-Mason, castigating the Bishop, Freemasonry AND the 'Call to Action' group all in the same essay! Read it here. In December, 2006, some TEN YEARS after Bishop Bruskewitz's threat, and in a little-noticed action, the Vatican affirmed his right to excommunicate those who belong to the organizations he had targeted. It remains to be seen whether after all this time he'll chose to re-stir this pot but sadly, this action shows that Pope Benedict retains his animosity towards Freemasonry that was shown during his tenure as head of the church group formerly known as the Inquisition.

David Buehler - Identified by Larry Kunk's anti-Masonic organization as one of their 'Directors'. Otherwise, it would appear, he lives 'below the radar'....

bullet

'Pastor' Keith Burd - We don't presently have much information on this person except his acknowledged support of anti-Masonic author Jack Harris about whom he writes, "I have known Jack for years and read his books...they are most credible and well worth reading."

bullet

Sean Burden - In 1998, 22 year old Sean wrote in an internet-published biography that he had been tossed out of a private high school and had served 4 years with the U. S. Marine Corps as a ground radio repairman. Prior to and during this time (according to Sean's responses in the alt.freemasonry newsgroup), he determined that there was a major conspiracy afoot in the world. Sean says his first inkling of a conspiracy came from a book published in 1797 by a Scottish historian. (In the world of anti-Masonry, it's a 'classic' - John Robinson's "Proofs of a Conspiracy" since then totally discredited.) Added to this was his military experience fixing radios (as a junior enlisted man), which gave him the ability to divine the entire plan for world domination that he says is using "Smart Cards". Sean had posted an extensive document at a free web site to tell us all about it but that site is long gone. As of March, 2006, there's no evidence of the continued existence of his much vaunted TRuSA, something he referred to as a non-organization! In addition to his conspiracy theories, Sean railed against lawyers and said that he refused to pay taxes. Wonder how that's working out for him. Is that the reason TRuSA has been abandoned perhaps? He posted to the alt.freemasonry newsgroup that when he was in the Marine Corps, he'd spit in the food he cooked as part of his military duties. Oh, yes: needless to say, in his mind, Freemasonry is tied in along with the Bildeburgers, the OTO and others. High School dropout figures out world-domination plans: just another day in the whacky world of anti-Masonry.

Lora Burton - A self-described "former Rainbow girl" supposedly for nine years, she claims that she suffered spiritual and psychological abuse from her membership. She has founded "Rooftop Ministries" to - ostensibly - counter cults, especially Freemasonry. There are over a million former and present Rainbow Girls today who would vigorously dispute Lora's claims. Parents are welcome at all Rainbow events, including initiation. Once one sees the beautiful ritual and friendship in Rainbow, the strangeness of this person's claims will become readily apparent.

David Cameron - Marginally literate, Mr. Cameron practices a religion.... Well, we'll let him tell you about it: "1. I believe in the spiritual awareness I attain when smoking marijuana. 2. 6 million who regularly smoke marijuana in this country are them self’s a culture. 3. CAMERONISSIM is my religion." We'd give you that link but because of the language he uses and the links that he has placed on his site, we're simply not going to help him get higher in the filth-link fame. Convinced that the Masons somehow caused spoors to grow in his flat in Scotland, now every checkered black and white thing he sees, not to mention the hand positions of every politician in the world at all events, signal that they're Masons (even though he's told everyone they are so who cares, right?) and that they're plotting to get him and send him back to the hospital. 41 years old, you'd never know it.

bullet Daniel D. Carlen - An anti-Masonic Baptist (type unknown) who had a "bi-vocational ministry" in an undisclosed location. In a lengthy discourse, he points out how he learned of the "...false and deceptive spiritual teachings of Freemasonry." from the book written by Jim Shaw, who lied about his own Masonic credentials and more. (You can read about the Shaw lies on our site and others by clicking here.) Buttressed by his interpretations of the works of Albert Pike and others, he then concludes that all of the problems in this unidentified church were as a result of Freemasonry. When one starts with lies as the basis for their beliefs - and then reinforces them at every opportunity, it is evident that the erroneous conclusion will remain. In the past, you could have read about how Carlen was "Standing for Truth" based on lies on the Kunk website. Now, though, it's gone. Strange how whenever we note the so very obvious flaws in the logic of the anti-Masonic rhetoric there that it subsequently disappears....
...............

 
bullet Ron Carlson - "Pastor" Carlson's tape about the 'evils' of Freemasonry achieved widespread distribution in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Ostensibly a "sermon", Masonic author Art deHoyos has noted in his excellent work titled "Cloud of Prejudice - A Study in Anti-Masonry" that a friend (Father Charles E. Maier, O.C.R.) had noted the similarity in both form and content to an anti-Masonic booklet from an earlier time by E. M. Storms. Using primarily Albert Pike as his 'whipping boy', Carlson's theme will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has looked at the work of contemporaries Ankerberg et. al. More recently, Carlson teamed with Ed Decker and together, they made audacious claims to having expert knowledge of "cults and false religions". Curiously, however, his complaints seem to center around Freemasonry. Carlson had developed quite a business out of his speaking tours. You can read more about him here. He died June 16, 2011.

bullet Anton Chaitkin - Writing as a surrogate for Lyndon LaRouche (yes, that Lyndon LaRouche), Mr. Chaitkin is described by the LaRouche camp as a "historian and investigative reporter". If one looks at his works (here's one), however, they might get a different impression. He lashes out against many things including (but certainly not limited to) former U.S. President George Bush, NATO, some kind of British world-domination theory, the Promise-Keepers, and even another anti-Mason, Pat Robertson! Because of the number of things Mr. Chaitkin rails against, Freemasonry sometimes gets lost amongst the confusion of his multiple conspiracies. It's there, nevertheless, and it's not pretty! Continuously raising the specter of the KKK in relation to Albert Pike and the Scottish Rite, he's convinced that Pike's statue in Washington, DC should be removed.Here's that misleading text.
...............
 
bullet Roger Chernoff - A great majority of newspapers from high schools and colleges are nothing more than exhibits of immaturity and self-indulgence. I speak from experience having written for newspapers in both venues. Having moved on in life, however, it's always pleasurable to see material which exhibits both wry humor while touching upon human foibles in a way that hopefully improves society. This was extraordinarily evident with an October 20, 2009 piece in the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, student newspaper article by Tannara Yelland, Associate News Editor titled "Civic politics brings out the crazies: Freemasons and squirrels take centre stage at mayoral forum". It's hilarious and you should read it. One of their local candidates is another of thoseconspiracy-obsessed Masonophobes, convinced that Masons own the big businesses and that they're controlled by Queen of England. Hey, I'm a King! Do you suppose that'll get me something extra?

John Conner - So pathetically desperate to be noticed (and probably to sell his book), this anti-Mason self-admits to being an anti-Mason and has ASKED to be added to this website. Mr. Conner was 'good enough' to send along a Chapter in his book about Freemasonry. Somehow (although not explained just how) Freemasonry is at the root of all the world's problems - ALL of them, it would seem. His rhetoric jumps from subject to subject, never managing to draw a connection except by proximity of his paragraphs. We found his claims totally laughable. As just one example, he uses the long-debunked Taxil Hoax as part of his screed. He talks about how a candidate's picture is posted on a bulletin board, something that the majority of Masons in the world would scratch their heads over. (There are some unrecognized/irregular lodges that do this....) In fact, he seems to dredge up nearly every ludicrous claim about Freemasonry (ALL of which are debunked on this website) while he draws his conclusion that 'something' is going to happen. We even considered making a Chicken Little award for this one. While he rails about the Master of a Lodge being called "Worshipful Master" (see our page on that topichere), he doesn't make a bit of mention about the HORRID title of "Lord Mayor of London". Calling a Mayor LORD? Oh, the heresy.... And probably the most ridiculous part of it all is that he constantly has quoted Jasper Ridley but either he hasn't read the book or doesn't want you to know what Mr. Ridley REALLY says about the rubbish of anti-Masons. We're sorry, Mr. Conner: you're not likely going to get a rush of additional book sales as a result of begging for OUR notice!

bullet

Milton William Cooper - One of the most extraordinary examples of paranoid conspiracy to be found, Cooper saw a connection between everything from the Bolshevik Revolution to Orson Welles' War of the Worlds on through Communism and extraterrestrials (although before his death, he had ceased calling the denial of UFOs "the big lie" as he did when he believed that UFOs were real). He had identified radio personality and conspiracy theorist Art Bell as a Freemason totally without proof and believed that everything was part of a Masonically-controlled Illuminati. To give you a better idea, here's what Cooper had to say about the moon landings:

"All names, missions, landing sites, and events in the Apollo Space Program echo the occult metaphors, rituals, and symbology of the Illuminati's secret religion. The most transparent was the faked explosion on the spacecraft Apollo 13, named "Aquarius" (new age) at 1:13 (1313 military time) on April 13, 1970 which was the metaphor for the initiation ceremony involving the death (explosion), placement in the coffin (period of uncertainty of their survival), communion with the spiritual world and the imparting of esoteric knowledge to the candidate (orbit and observation of the moon without physical contact), rebirth of the initiate (solution of problem and repairs), and the raising up (of the Phoenix, the new age of Aquarius) by the grip of the lions paw (reentry and recovery of Apollo 13). 13 is the number of death and rebirth, death and reincarnation, sacrifice, the Phoenix, the Christ (perfected soul imprisoned in matter), and the transition from the old to the new. Another revelation to those who understand the symbolic language of the Illuminati is the hidden meaning of the names of the Space Shuttles, "A Colombian Enterprise to Endeavor for the Discovery of Atlantis... and all Challengers shall be destroyed." 

"Exploration of the moon stopped because it was impossible to continue the hoax without being discovered. And of course they ran out of pre-filmed episodes. No man has ever ascended much higher than 300 miles, if that high, above the Earth's surface." 

In fairness, we should point out that Cooper later wrote "For many years I sincerely believed that an extraterrestrial threat actually existed and that it was the most important driving force behind world events. I was wrong and for that I sincerely apologize." So the guy gets it wrong and apologizes. Does that somehow mean THIS TIME he's gotten it right? Perhaps, folks - just perhaps - he's gotten it wrong YET AGAIN!His imagined 'Masonic Illuminati' made for apparently lucrative book and tape sales. He had multiple web sites but one we were sending folks to had become a porn site and his 'Harvest-Trust' web site had been closed down as part of an apparent tax avoidance scheme prior to his demise.

Mr. Cooper was killed in late 2001 when two Sheriff's Deputies attempted to serve a warrant on him for threatening a neighbor with a handgun. Cooper drew a weapon and shot one of the Deputies. He was fatally shot in return. Some Cooper disciples whined about it being some part of a conspiracy and that the demurrals on Cooper's website are manipulations by the 'NWO'.  Just can't win.... Oh, and if you came here from the late Mr. Cooper's website where they say "
Milton William Cooper is listed as one of the biggest anti-Masons on this site.", just look around. The guy didn't even merit his own separate page as at least three dozen others did! It is to laugh - and it's not only because of that claim.... There's more on Mr. Cooper on this Masonic website.

Oh, and did you hear that Cooper was shot dead by a Masonic Deputy? Well, we'll tell you the actual source of THAT stupidity: click here and you can see that the origin of this lie was none other than "S", another usenet identity of Sam Moser, identifiable by his e-mail address and other postings. Sam has, sadly, had VERY severe mental health problems for which he has been incarcerated numerous times. Even as the news of the shooting was breaking, Sam posted a message that Cooper was killed, "...shot by Mason Deputy". Sam was good enough to include the story from which he got his information: an Associated Press newswire piece which said that the Deputy was none other than the well-known and easily identified as a Mason, "name withheld". Someday we'll see Sam's stupidity about this event regularly repeated by the conspiracy theorists.

Dan Corner - With his Evangelical Outreach website, Mr. Corner praises a bunch of 'ministers and ministries' in what appears an attempt to garner support for his book which he'll gladly sell you. His anti-Masonry position seems a bit hidden under things, it's nevertheless there in an apparent attempt to seduce his potential audience. Oh, and don't believe his counter: if you leave that home page and then come back, it'll count your soul twice! <chuckle>

Lorraine Day, M.D. - She has cured herself (although it's pretty shaky: see here) of cancer and she can cure you too, but more, she believes the Holocaust never happened and expresses quite a distaste for those of the Jewish faith, says Swine Flu is a hoax ("It is a U.S. Government Psychological Operation (Psy/Op) to TERRIFY the Public!"), supports all sorts of folks who hate Jews, and - of course - thinks that Freemasons and every other conspiracy group boogey man are hell-bent on taking over the world. Of course, she uses such impeccable sources as the Taxil Hoax and Texe Marrs. I particularly loved her statement that "Its Jewish origins and nature are further demonstrated by the following: 1) It uses only the Old Testament for saying oaths. Use of the New Testament is forbidden....". Apparently 99% of the hundreds of lodges I've visited over the years never got the memo on that one since they've ALL had a King James Bible on the altar. Oh, and if her claim on this were true, why would a so-called Masonic Bible have both the Old and New Testament? Duh! One wonders what it was in her orthopaedic training that prepared for such advanced thinking.  Her site is here - and she'd probably love it if you'd buy something.

Ed Decker - We debated long and hard about whether or not to add any information about this particular individual because anyone who'd looked into his 'story' knew it had more holes than Swiss cheese. Another hating-twin of Bill Schnoebelen, he rants equally against Mormons and Freemasonry although he seems to know precious little about either - although he will certainly make you think he does. His hatred seems to produce a quite livable income and if you follow his monthly newsletters, you'll see that there's always some crisis that he'll only be able to  overcome with God's blessing and (more importantly!) your free-will donation. He's ALWAYS got to pay for something - with your help, dear friend. Tapes, books, and more: not a one with anything but venom - something some of his "Christian Evangelical" followers enjoy to the hilt. There's a LOT about Mr. Decker and his questionable activities on the internet: we'll just point to thisand this - from which you can draw your own conclusions. You might argue that these sites don't say anything good about him: neither does he say anything good about Freemasonry or the Latter-Day Saints. Further, when looking at the whole picture, it seems to us that Decker's arguments are 'poisoned fruit'

bullet William Deagle - One of the 'leading lights' of "The Prophecy Club", an entity which fancies its ability to provide clues to the coming end of the world. This individual claims to have had supernatural dreams and visions of the angel Gabriel who, among other things, took him inside the highly classified US missile command (NORAD). See also our listing for Stan Johnson for further information about these folks.
...............
bullet Pierce Dodson - We sometimes wonder about the discernment abilities of a 'pastor' who can read one small anti-Masonic book filled with lies and on that basis decide that an organization of 3-5 million men, many of whom are clerics, is anti-Christian. Dodson (who endorses the lies propounded by Jim Shaw in his book, "The Deadly Deception") went to a church in an unnamed Tennessee town "...(hoping) that the church was not full of Masons." It's odd that someone who wants to save souls seemed so threatened. Based on his attendance at a Southern Baptist Convention meeting where a resolution was discussed (see our page on Larry Holly for more information), his preconceived notions were affirmed. All of his subsequent problems with his church were then - in his mind at least - the result of the "New World Order" and Freemasonry. He cites a statement by a Deacon saying that he'd rather give up being a Deacon than quit the Masonic Lodge. Dodson cites this as an example of his lack of Christianity. To others reading such a statement, it's quite clear that this Deacon had no intention of giving up his religion or renouncing his beliefs in Christ; rather, he was willing to abdicate a position of church leadership if it meant there would be a conflict with a fraternity to which he belonged.

Dodson quotes Adrian Rogers who said, in part, that "...it is better to stand alone with truth than to be wrong with the multitude." In reality, Dodson stands virtually alone in this case with lies and wrong. A speaker and supporter of the Ephesians 5-11 "ministry", you can read Dodson's laments here, where he states that he has not taken a pastorate since 1992 and has been effectively 'banned by the Masons'. Perhaps one might wonder about the motivations for this person's position....

bullet Jerome Domínguez, M.D., Ph.D. - While his real name is 'Jeronimo', he really is a medical doctor. He's also a Catholic religious zealot who rails against not onlyFreemasonry on his 'religion-cults.org' web site but also about the imagined 'New World Order'. We think many Baptists, Presbyterians, and all other denominations would find his comments on their faiths to be.... errrrr.... arguable! And if you think the Doctor has made some serious errors in his assessment of your faith, do you think he's any more accurate on Freemasonry?

bullet Eric Dubay - "I'm a 26 year-old American living in Thailand where I teach English part-time and fight the New World Order full-time." Wow! Such a big deal. While young men his age are fighting and dying for their country, this self-aggrandizing dilettante wants you to think he's actually DOING something. After having attended a state-sponsored college in the United States with reduced tuition because of his residency, he's now going off on a quest to prove that everything is related to everything else whenever it's bad - ignoring, of course, those things which would contradict his fanciful notions. What's particularly sad is that he's even gotten his father involved in this horse-hoohey. Like the other Masonophobes, everything is wrong but only a 26 year old in Thailand has had the capacity to link it all together. Ah, that we should all be so smart. Faked moon landings, aliens controlling the world, bloodlines, and more: nothing escapes his attempt to be the most comprehensive person to have ever written on this stuff - even though there are five dozen other people who'll make the same claim this year alone. You have to wonder when he became so smart: certainly attending the University of Maine at Orono wasn't the place he picked it all up, was it? If you want a laugh, head for his website. What's particularly ironic is that he NEVER mentions those little things taking place in the so-called 'Constitutional Monarchy' of Thailand. Perhaps you remember: the military coup in September, 2006, the rigged elections in December, 2007, the street demonstrations in May, 2008 which were on the nightly news for several nights in succession as the military shot and killed demonstrators, and the takeover of Bangkok's airport.... Since January 2004, thousands have been killed as separatists where he's living but Eric is obviously too busy taking government money as pay and 'fighting the New World Order' to notice those 'little things', eh? His father seems to hide behind the internet for his anonymity as well, never even causing a small ripple in the Maine news venues which are often desperate for anything to report. "Cows loose in Hampden. Details at 11." was a 'teaser' one night: you'd think with all of the 'stuff' that Eric and Roger know about, they'd both be hollering from the rooftops rather than just blathering impotently on the internet.

bullet Ronald Joseph Dubois - This individual proudly trumpets both his address and phone number as he posts one of the most comprehensive packages of anti-Masonic diatribe to be found on the internet, challenging Masons to take action against him. Apparently a former Senior Deacon of a lodge in his town, Mr. Dubios has adopted Pentecostal beliefs and makes charges of anti-religious activity combined with world domination theories. Mr. Dubois uses all of the well-worn claims of earlier anti-Masons as documented on this site but we must wonder if he can cite any specific actions which would support his claims by showing attempts of or by Masons to take over the Maine State government or the Archdiocese of Maine as he asserts. In the state where there are more Masons per capita than anywhere else in the United States, one would think that Mr. Dubois' would be a prime candidate for 'retaliation' yet, curiously, he remains free to rant and rave. In a state which elects governors who are Independents, female senators (the only state with two as of 2002-2010!) and where a Catholic Bishop met with the Maine Lodge of Research, we find his rants sadly empty - and think that anyone who considers the entirety of the situation would likewise. Sorry, Mr. Dubois.

bullet Eliza Earsman - When people don't even know the name of an organization they're writing about, you've really got to wonder - but the self-publishing available to everyone today just begs for this type of foolishness. In a claim we've never seen before, it's the "Scottish Ritual Freemasons" who're responsible for not only building the White House but plotting World War III. What the two have to do with one another is really not worth $30 for us to find out but from poking around her website, we found she's not talking about the "Scottish Rite Freemasons" but rather those Masons who live in.... SCOTLAND. "Scottish Ritual Freemasons!", see? And it's TRUE! Those pesky Scots have lodges all over the world including countries like Ghana, Nigeria, and even Jamaica and Korea.

For someone who is trying to claim a tie to Washington, DC through her claimed past work, it's hilarious to note that her prayer list of governmental officials included two Cabinet Members (Richardson and Daschle) who were never even nominated to serve in those posts. This, then, speaks volumes as to her discernment capabilities because this is not 'just a typo': it's a major error (or lie or obfuscation?). Bashing Freemasons is apparently profitable sport these days, though, and her screed about Freemasonry (beginning with the typical foolishness about the honorific of 'Master') is the ONLY book of hers that she's flogging (or that she even mentions authoring despite claims as an 'author'). She's also giving classes on 'Disaster Preparedness'. It would appear that she's clearly understood the maxim, "Follow the money!".

Billy Evertsen - Creator of yet another "Cult Prevention and Research Ministries" that was really nothing more than a web site which, we now learn, was created by a teen-ager! Mr. Evertsen railed vigorously against Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, the "New Age", Christian Science and, of course, Freemasonry. Previously, at his now defunct web site which you can see a copy of here, he had a large announcement that "CPRM to shut down!" and it was "Due to lack of traffic and lack of good information....". After examining his material on Freemasonry, we certainly agreed with the latter reason. He'd offered to let anyone interested take it over but after a year with no takers, he found the time again in 1999. Now, in 2007, he has written to us stating that "Long ago and far away, I was a right wing religious zealot and had a website, a section of which was 'dedicated' to spreading lies about the Masons. Now, at 25, I've realized that my 'ranting' about the Masons should have been better directed at the right wing zealots." We don't discuss politics on this site nor is there any commonly accepted definition for the term "right wing zealots" that would translate internationally. Regardless of where Mr. Evertsen feels his efforts should have been placed, he nevertheless defamed and defiled an organization which had done nothing whatsoever to or against him. While apparently he now has, it's a pity that some never wake up from their state of delusion about the ills of Freemasonry.

Mark A. Flynn - The person behind the HUGE volume of endtimes prophesy and millennium apocalypse pages at the 'Watcher' web site is none other than a 31 year old college student living in Montana, USA but who wanted to move to the Seattle area to find work. Interestingly, his online resume now no longer online made no mention of his fascination with the huge volume of alien, conspiracy, and endtimes theories on which he regularly comments along with the state of the world - but after all, he claims to have two bachelor's degrees: one in Psychology/Economics and the other in Computer Science. We find it interesting that someone whose interests include "...cooking, motorcycles, meteorology, travel and computers" could stir such interest with his dark pages and foreboding predictions. We wonder what Seattle's rainy weather will do to his outlook - and we would have thought that, for someone so convinced that the 'endtimes' is near, Montana would have been a much better place to be. Who knows: maybe after telling us all about the Masonically-controlled fake moon landings, Mark's keeping one secret to himself: it's safer with a Starbucks on every corner Turning into the 2000s, Markappeared to become obsessed with numerology, yet another obvious way of getting to the truth. (And as an update, in January 2003, we received a message from Mr. Flynn claiming that it was his twin brother David who did the 'Watcher' website and who is writing the books which the website is now hawking. (You know: the 'evil twin brother' story, right? Yeah....) While the site's author was previously quite well hidden and only revealed through considerable sleuthing, curiously "David" now appears to take credit for much of the material quite visibly. We wonder what caused the change - and how strange it was that "David" would have previously written about the job 'he' needed to get - just like his 'twin brother' whose resume was online. It is to laugh!). And since the end of the world didn't arrive in 2000 as he'd predicted, Mark and his twin brother David have moved on to an end arriving in 2012 - or maybe 2016, just to hedge his (their) bets.

We've found it ironic that an individual who ostensibly cries out for human equality would find Freemasonry - which has had such strong concepts of equality since its beginnings - so troublesome. For some, it seems, 'equality' is simply a means for them to get something for 'nothing'.... In March, 2007 Mr. Gosling started yet another website - ostensibly for Joe Stirling with many more mindless rants, threats and inaccuracies about Freemasonry and its supposed all-powerful world-domination.

Anthony Grigor-Scott - Describing himself as a "non-denominational minister since 1981" (a what?), Mr. Grigor-Scott maintains a very large web site under the rubric ofBible Believers in Australia. While he suggests in one of his newsletters "Don't argue or debate the faith with any who can not or will not see It." he nevertheless reproduces a huge volume of anti-Masonic material including various New World Order and paranoid tracts (Apollo/Masonic connection etc.). You can find nearly every objection to Freemasonry ever conceived here. We found it sadly comical to see his listing of "Selected Elites" in which he tries to name those who're supposedly part of the Bildeburgers, Council on Foreign Relations, Rhodes Scholars, Trilateral Commission Members and members of Yale's Skull & Bones Society - as well as Masons. Of the 329 'Elites' he had identified as of July 13, 1999, only 12 were identified as Masons - and three of those whom he identified as such, were NOT! Using Grigor-Scott's logic, Freemasonry must be powerful indeed; comprising only .027% of the 'Elite' but totally controlling it! Check it out here. You might also want to note that noted journalist and television personality Bill Moyers is named there as both a member of the Bildeburgers and the Council of Foreign Relations (two groups that are regularly used as the boogey-men for all the world's problems) and yet, curiously, another essay on Mr. Grigor-Scott's site praises Moyers' comments ostensibly against secret societies. As with SO many anti-Masons, the old saying "Oh what a tangled web we weave...." is totally apropos. Sadly too, Mr. Grigor-Scott is completely convinced that the Holocaust was a hoax and writes extensively about it here using David Irving's fallacious material for support.  Based on all of this, can you truly believe what he thinks about Freemasonry?

When we first created this site, Mr. Hall was proud to proclaim the evilness of the alleged quote by Albert Pike perpetrated by theTaxil Hoax. Since that time, he has created a page about this which demurs, taking another approach to misconstrue Pike's words.

His writings sought to claim an incompatibility between Christianity and Freemasonry and, in a later volume, he claimed that many UK Masons bought his book because they could not read the small print in their own rituals.

Nevertheless, these are people who are old enough to drive, to drink, and to serve their country in time of war so they are as much a part of society as anyone despite the fact that we know fully well how immature and uninformed their ideas can be. Mr. Higgins' 'Crusader 88' blog identifies him as a cashier who wants to be a lawyer (uh-huh!) and who is interested in Jewish girls in order to raise a large Catholic family. Mr. Higgins comes from an area where some have been magnetically attracted to what others deem a heretical pseudo-Catholic enclave, the anti-Masonic Crusade of Saint Benedict Center who want to "...turn America into one true Church". It's sad to see young people with such malleable minds being told that the Masons are anti-religion and worse. We wish Mr. Higgins luck as he continues on life's journey. Hopefully when we look in on him a few years from now he will have matured and won't still be a cashier in some store.

Daniel Hopkinson - Evangelical religious intolerants, from every faith camp, always manage to find all sorts of corners of the internet from which to spout their beliefs. When their misunderstandings (often deliberate) are challenged, they simply ignore the facts and continue their rants. Mr. Hopkinson is no different. Co-opting a growing website which was set up specifically to provide LOCAL information about LOCAL events (things like sports, concerts, etc. - but is in many ways just a money-maker with lots of online ads), the 'Examiner' sites claim to have subject matter experts to help others find relevant, local information. In a very few cases that may be true but in general, their hiring ('by e-mail') has caused the site to be overrun with bigoted and personal-objective oriented individuals who otherwise couldn't get a soul to read their blather.  This includes the greatly growing number of "Evangelical Examiners" who proselytize their religious beliefs which include, of course, a skewed view of Freemasonry - specifically the tired old saw that 'Freemasonry excludes Jesus' or that Freemasonry promotes its own brand of eschatology. Because of some strong search engine formulas, these people are popping up more and more on search engines when, in fact, they're usually not worth even a three second scan. Mr. Hopkinson is an example of this new breed of online gadflies. When his arguments are refuted in comments to his claims, he falls back on the expectation that Freemasonry must provide written documentation to prove him wrong. He delights in the power of his temporal bully pulpit to spew one more sham using tired arguments while referring to himself in the third person as "this Examiner", apparently quite proud of his self-created position. Even when irrefutable facts relative to the phoniness of the claims made by Jim Shaw are presented, he hides under the cover that 'no one person speaks for Freemasonry'. He's simply not intellectually capable of realizing or intellectually honest enough to accept that FACTS speak for themselves. ...............

We particularly enjoyed seeing Mr. Howard's claims about the evil Shriner Masons' activities in 1773 - particularly because the Shriners weren't even formed until 125 years later! Mr. Howard on numerous web pages repeats the Taxil hoaxand has a list of supposed 33° Masons including folks like Jim Shaw. So very comical too is the page here purloined from our site several years ago, claiming that these many "fine researchers" have found problems with Freemasonry.

Pastor David S. Janssen - Circulating on the web from time to time are a compilation of three anti-Masonic sermons delivered in September, 1997 in State College, Pennsylvania, USA. In these sermons, the pastor urged members of his church to disassociate themselves from Freemasonry and he further announced that Masons would be ineligible for membership in his church. (Masonicinfo Note: Interesting concept - Throw out the 'sinner' so they won't hear the Good News! Perhaps it's that the Pastor doesn't want to be 'soiled' by having those whom he thinks are doing wrong in his congregation. Not a concept in the recognized Christian concept of salvation, is it?)

The single source for the Pastor's condemnation was a 1914 printing of Charles T. McClenachan's THE BOOK OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED RITE (first edition 1867). This work was one person's interpretation of the Scottish Rite rituals in existence evenbefore they were revised exhaustively by Albert Pike.  Mason Art deHoyos has written a detailed analysis of Pastor Janssen's ten top errors and this has been published by the Masonic Service Association in their June, 1998 Short Talk Bulletin.

In SO many of these cases, there is far more to the story than a vexatious litigant wishes us to know. Realistically, Mr. Jenkins feels wronged. That Masons would somehow single him out for such odd and sustained persecution defies imagination.  Oh, and we should note too that Mr. Jenkins writes a lot about the evils of Zionism as wellso the Jews are out to get him as well it seems. Just check his websites here andhere....

How did Mr./Ms. "T J" Jensen reach this curious conclusion? Well, they discovered - thanks to the web - that the Scottish Rite's National Heritage Museum in Lexington, Massachusetts had a 'VanGorden-Williams' library. Apparently it never occurred to Jensen that there might be more than one person in the world with that surname! It will probably not surprise you when we note that the late Brother VanGorden, a highly respected and well-loved Scottish Rite Mason, was NOT the same person as the anti-Mormon minister.

Keith/Alan Johnson - Apparently we find what we look for & what we think. If it's inane to you, then so be it. 
                                                                                                      (Alan Johnson Alt.Freemasonry post of 10 June 2007)

Some who regularly participate in the USENET newsgroup alt.freemasonry may take exception at the inclusion of Keith Johnson simply because for the first few years of his now decades-long posting, he was generally benign and past did not exhibit overt hostility. As we moved into his second decade of being told how to spell the word "NO", however, his undefined 'end of days' philosophy makes him more shrill. He is also more insistent on getting attention but carefully avoids posting when there are other flame-wars erupting so as to avoid getting lost in the crowd. Keith loves attention if nothing else! 

He rants seem to involve some sort of unified field theory about Freemasonry and his postings are - well, convoluted at best. When he began posting, he claimed he was named Alan while his son - whose account he was using - was named Keith. More recently he was alternating between those two names but now seems to have switched to Keith entirely. Regardless. He uses a software program (Copernic - it's a GREAT program!) to search out the most obscure word connections on the internet and then will post a message with a link to some obscure website with some pithy and provocativecomment or (pseudo-) question that - three-quarters of the time - has no relationship whatsoever to the content on the cited site (which about 95% of the time has no relationship to Freemasonry whatsoever). It seems that Mr. Johnson seeks the 'answers to the universe' on the internet and is somehow convinced that the Masons have (or had) this information and are deliberately obfuscating things so that he cannot find the answers he seeks. Like a child on a beach collecting individual grains of sand, Mr. Johnson seems at a loss to explain what he's got but he's certainly convinced that he's 'onto something' - and he'd be able to identify it if only the Masons would let him. While the inability to create his unified field theory evades him (and escapes his ability to even logically address what he's seeking), he continues undaunted. After over a decade of rejection, often delivered with painful truths that would make even a child embarrassed, Mr. Johnson perceives any comment or criticism as being part of a huge conspiracy to keep HIM from finding 'the truth' - and to be the first one to do it as well. In over a decade too, he has been unable to properlyy configure his newsreader to provide appropriate and intelligible quote-backs despite repeated requests and helpful instructions. He has, on occasion, attributed his sloppiness in both research and message formatting to the effects of dyslexia and ADHD. Upon closer questioning, however, he admitted that these problems are self-diagnosed. Is he an anti-Mason? Based on his bizarre contentions, one could easily put him in that category.

Getting a simple yes or no answer out of Keith is an exercise in futility. Because the human mind seems to value order and congruity, readers of Mr. Johnson's vague allusions seek to 'flesh out' his beliefs so as to better understand what, specifically, he's questioning and/or claiming. Assuming his postings have logic, however, is a huge stretch of imagination (as becomes quickly obvious). For a couple of years, his ramblings seemed to lead back to his belief in crop circles and aliens which, he hinted is part of the knowledge Freemasons have but just won't share with him. It is telling that Mr. Johnson, while apparently believing that he is solving the secrets of the universe, still has not mastered the basics of grammar and punctuation. He adamantly refuses to engage in conversation in more relevant online venues because, clearly, he's completely ignored anywhere else. When confronted with examples of how his 'connect-the-dots' methodology has been erroneous or even when he's asked the most basic of questions, he quickly changes the subject and offers additional - and even more totally irrelevant - website links, never wanting to either admit error or accept the fact that his fanciful claims are entirely without either relevance or merit. Some have suggested that he usethis link but each post asserting the irrelevance and absurdity of his 'findings' is met with more resolve as he becomes increasingly convinced that he's 'getting close' and is being sidetracked by those with the knowledge he wants! He knows he can define Freemasonry and Freemasons if only the Freemasons would let him! His 2008 posts were actively warning of  immediately impending 'end times' disasters and have more Biblical predictions accompanied by demands that Masons 'fix the problems' of the world. We expect to some day find a photo of him carrying a sign proclaiming "the, end i snear" <including the misspelling> or some such thing.

In November, 2008, Mr. Johnson announced that he'd be leaving the alt.freemasonry newsgroup with the words "I am no dog Sir and with that I bid you farewell and good riddence! 
<sic>" Of course, in the whacky world of online anti-Masonry, nothing ever lasts forever and July, 2009 saw him back again with the start of likely a lot more ramblings based on his misunderstandings of a work of fiction. In one post on 7/25 he signed as "Keith" and less than 10 hours later was "Alan". Ya just gotta wonder about this boy....

Of course, their interpretations of things are quite suspect. In 1997, Johnson stated that we would not make it through 1998 without an internal revolution in America, a war in the Middle East, or a stock market crash, none of which happened and we're still here more than a dozen years later. To 'cover their bets' on their predictions, they'll tell you how to buy diamonds (and from whom!) as a hedge for potential Y2K problems and for the truly needy, there's a 'Video of the Month Club' for just $250/year. If you REALLY want to get involved, you can fast for one day a week until God sends him a sign about the actual date of the endtimes - and also a million bucks to publicize it. Of course "Stan estimates we need at least $10 million dollars to effectively reach America in the remaining months." (Must be expensive to put such announcements on the nightly news, eh?)

The "BlackRaiser" (cute how some of them have these self-created nicknames, isn't it?) also refers to himself as Mr. Kapnist and was noted due to his bizarre"BlackRaiser" website which, while regurgitating many of the same, tired anti-Masonic rants also takes things off in a different direction with bizarre assertions of direct ties of Freemasonry to the Ottoman empire. He writes, "In every major western city today we can now find secret Masonic lodges dedicated to Eastern Shrines, the wearing of the Ottoman fez caps, the subtle debunking of Jesus, and a reference for genii and Arabian tales."

Pssssst! Mr. Kapnistos: they're called THE SHRINERS! They've got a half-million members and support 22 hospitals for burned and crippled children! They aren't 'secret Masonic lodges' by even the broadest of misunderstandings. Don't blink 'cause there's one forming in England right now! WOO-HOO....

Mr. Kapnistos' site links to numerous anti-Masonic websites to 'prove his point' that there's some connection between the Ottoman Empire, Muslims, and Freemasonry. He had linked to our page debunking the noxious Shrine Fez claim taking our words totally out of context for that link to make his assertion. He wrote to us in July, 2005 to say "I have also noticed that while freemasons will officially deny any conspiracy, they seem more inspired and stimulated about conspiracy theories than anyone else! It seems to be their bread and butter. (Masonicinfo Note: It's curious, though, that in another message he wrote "But some of my best friends are high-ranking masons." You know, you'd think that if Masons were as bad as he claims, he wouldn't have them as "best friends", wouldn't you?) You should therefore know that I was once a part of US naval intelligence and had direct contact with the Office of the Vice President.(Masonicinfo Note: It is our experience that those who brag to strangers about their experience in 'naval intelligence' tend to be much like William Cooper but Mr. Kapnistos has now added material to his site showing that he had ostensibly written a letter to US Vice President Walter Mondale about - nope, not Naval Intelligence matters but rather.... hold on for this one.... BOOK BINDING!!!!! Oh, and what's more, it wasn't NAVAL INTELLIGENCE and he wasn't a part of it: it was NASA - the National Aeronautics & Space Administration. They're just a bit different, though he doesn't seem to know that. Here's a clue: one deals in national security and the other has those big rockets that carry the astronauts into space.) My attorney at the Hague will probably look into the legality of your online "profiling" methods." (Masonicinfo Note: Oh, and now he's determined all by himself that there's some sort of nefarious group doing this so-called profiling with me as their lackey. <ROFL> I wish somebody would tell me who they are so I can ask for a raise!) but later adds "Announcing my name on your website may actually help my publishing plan."  A month later Mr. Kapnistos sent an e-mail to the United Grand Lodge of England to complain about this site saying "I have repeatedly stated that I do not oppose all forms of Freemasonry. My websites criticize Ottoman militancy and pro-Muslim charities that could funnel money to terrorists. MI6 is concerned about it and you should be too." Yes, and that has something to do with the subject at hand? He also proceeded to tell the Grand Lodge that they need to"...state their opinion on Harry Potter...." and more. We're sure they will consider his advice as worth what they paid for it. He mocks this site by trying - absurdly - to tie the regularity of the Grand Lodge of Maine with a reply he received from a spokesperson for the United Grand Lodge of England that they thought I was an American and that they don't recognize MY site! Of COURSE they don't - since I am, in fact, an American and this is a personal website! Well, DUH. And then came the 'clincher' in his message to them that he shared with me: "What's worse, Mr. King is apparently standing in the way of me being accepted as a useful member of your society. Please ask yourselves: Should I be publicly "black-listed" by unauthorized crackpots even though I have received correspondence from the Vice President of the U.S., am in contact with one of the world's leading psychics, (Masonicinfo Note: that must have impressed them VERY greatly because having a member in contact with one of the world's leading psychics is SO very helpful to a Masonic lodge) and could prove to be a valuable resource within your society?" He adds in closing: "'The stone the builders refused became the head stone of the corner.' Please remember the simple 'cephas' parable. A person once profiled or humiliated by your members may one day become the leader of your society." Part of the Royal Family, are you Mr. Kapinstos? We don't think you're going to be the leader of the UGLE unless you can pull THAT little trick out of a hat - and even if a member of the Royal Family were not the leader of the United Grand Lodge of England, we somehow don't quite see Freemasons clamoring to have you fulfill that role. Best of friends with "high ranking Masons" but they're all devils. He hates the Masons but whines that my site might deprive him from being the head of them. He's also made a claim that I maintain an inappropriate type of website somewhere unspecified. Of hilarious note too is that this claim was the false, unsubstantiated and libelous quasi-assertion made by Mike Restivo who announced that he (also) could become a Grand Master in his jurisdiction if only the Masons (and I) hadn't stepped in his way. The irony of some anti-Masons never ceases to amaze.

Glen Kealey - The creator of a website called "Canadian Institute for Political Integrity", Mr. Kealey writes 'stream of consciousness' material that would make even Sartre gape. As but one example: "Rats were responsible for showing Troglodyte Neanderthals the underground passageway between Asia, Antarctica and South America. The Neanderthals settled on Antarctica prior to the last ice age (25,000 BC). Later, once they developed the laser (Lazerus) they began to tunnel in straight lines through the Basalt region of the MOHO DISCONTINUITY." Mr. Kealey truly loves the word "troglodyte" and hates Masons, claiming that they somehow control the planet. He demands that action be taken against them for their illegal actions and yet, curiously, he has illegally placed copyright material owned by Nelson King and the Philalethes Society on his website without attribution. So much for integrity.  His essay on Freemasonry's origin and on the Scottish Rite should provide readers with a good belly laugh. Warning: do NOT have liquid in your mouth when you click on these links! We are not responsible for damage to computer screens or keyboards which can be ruined as you guffaw!

bullet Jim Keith - There are a lot of 'fringe' folks who seem to think Freemasonry is involved in something or another. At Iluminet Press, you can find the "Alternative 3" which purports to explain that "The rich elite of the world have initiated a secret program of space migration to escape the environmental pollution & overpopulation destroying the earth. A secret joint USA-Russian space program has established bases on the moon and Mars. UFOs are actually secret government aircraft with capabilities far beyond what we have been told. Top space scientists from around the world are being abducted to provide personnel for the space bases. Citizens are being kidnapped and subjected to mind control to serve as slave labor at the secret space colonies" This is possible, apparently, because of "early Freemasonic psychiatric projects". Jim Keith died in 1999 at the age of 49. His "followers" have mused about his death being part of some horrific conspiracy despite medical evidence to the contrary. To date, they have failed to provide a explanation beyond that offered by medical authorities. We have no doubt, however, that sooner or later someone will try to tie this to a "Masonic Illuminati" in some fanciful imaginings.

bullet D. James Kennedy, Ph.D. - Sometimes evangelists are such 'monkey-see, monkey-do'types. Apparently having seen that some religious intolerants lionize anti-Masonic rhetoric, Dr. Kennedy's Coral Ridge Ministries now offers Ron Carlson's tapes - somewhat quietly, and seemingly done so as to not upset Masonic donors - as part of their stable of so-called 'Christian' teaching material. We think it's truly sad that those who hold themselves out in positions of religious leadership would succumb to such chicanery. Dr. Kennedy died 5 September 2007 but his ministry still hawks that junk.
...............  

 
bullet Devvy Kidd - Writing that "Freemasonry was banned in the Catholic Church for over a thousand years until the current Pope, John Paul II, came to power. His first act as Pope was to lift this ban for the first time in over a 1,000 years.", it seems clear Ms. Kidd has precious little knowledge of history. For those unaware, the rest of the world knows that the first comment on Freemasonry by the Catholic Church came in 1738 and that Pope John Paul II NEVER changed the Church's position on Freemasonry. Kidd's unique claim uses several other anti-Masons who've been discredited here yet, curiously, not a single one of them made such a wild and bizarre claim. Looking for laughs? Check Devvy's websites here and here.  She wallows in a huge conspiracy-filled world and we'd suggest that Ms. Kidd's arguments based on her 'research regarding the US Constitution and US tax laws are comparable to the accuracy in her 'research' relative to Freemasonry. You'll find her listed among major tax-scam artists here.

bullet Roy Jose Lorr - Mr. Lorr arrived in the alt.freemasonry newsgroup in 2002 after thinking he had been removed from a moderated Jewish newsgroup as a result of his disruptiveness. (He claimed religious persecution....!) Why he chose alt.freemasonry is clear: he simply wanted to continue his attention-getting disruptions. His antagonism towards Freemasonry seemed to stem from his religious beliefs which, from all appearances, were self-created. He stated, for example, that "Written Torah is the [only]<his use of bracket> work of non-fiction in existence." and that the 'Written Torah' he follows consists of the first five books of the Bible ONLY. His more egregious commentary is noted on a separate site which we maintain in order to separate filth from this one. See here. Mr. Lorr also is convinced that if an organization does not speak out against something, then - ipso facto - they support it. He uses the example that the United Grand Lodge of England did not speak out against Hitler and despite explanations that Freemasonry does not involve itself in political or religious matters, wants to use that to support his theory. He is unwilling, of course, to prove that he himself has 'spoken out' against any number of particular problems. Spoken out against the genocide in Darfur, Mr. Lorr? Please provide the proof because if you can't, then you're obviously in favor of it - by your own logic at least.

bullet R. Lothamer - This Eugene, Oregon resident hosts the "Be Wise As Serpents" website, a militia/tax evader/"Christian Identity" (i.e., white racist) believer who uses a bizarre concoction of religious beliefs into which is mixed antagonism towards Freemasonry as well. Evidence of their connection with these beliefs is shown through the fact their site is mirrored on the infamous posse-comitus web site (which says "We love these guys!"). Judge Freemasonry by its enemies!

How did this man's 500 million business empire vanish into thin air? 

Go to this web page on www.awn.bz to find out who is the the Haywicks Farm Fraud Gang and why the Late Herbert Henry Butler murder was planned back in 1983 with the help of a forged will to obtain his family farm known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE ...The INL News Group is making a new film called "..Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane..."based on the next edition of Stephen Carew-Reid's series of well known books called "The Triumph of Truth
(Who Is Watching the Watchers?) published by the INL News Group, which are dedicated to exposing corrupt, wrongful, immoral and/or illegal actions in the legal system,the  courts, amongst judges, masters, magistrates, adjudicators, court and other government and semi government clerks, solicitors, lawyers, barristers and attorneys and big business and the media. The concept of Stephen Carew-Reid's books are based on keeping the real names in them to expose the guilty so they become a permanent shame file of people in powerful positions in society that use their power in wrongful, corrupt, illegal and/or immoral ways against ordinary people that have been treated unjustly by people in powerful positions in government, the courts, semi government bodies, business, the police and the media...So the these of INL News Group's new film "..Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane.." is to keep the real names of the people involved in the fraud and murder of the late Herbert Henry Butler and the fraud on his only child Valerie Ann Butler of he lawful rights to Haywicks Farm... Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE

International bookmakers are giving odds of 4/6 on, that Justice Warren Mann, a judge in London's High Court of Justice will be voted by the INL News Legal, Investigative and Editorial Team ( INL News LIET) to take over Justice Paul Morgan as the most corrupt Judge in the British Legal System after Justice Warren Mann issued further orders to help his Freemason brother Peter Urquhart to defraud Haywicks Farm from Valerie Ann Butler, who already had an order by a Manchester High Court Judge that HM Land Registry had to register the title deed of Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE into the name of Valerie Ann Butler as a result of the Manchester High Court Judge ordering that Valerie Ann Butler was the rightful executor and beneficial owner of her late father's estate, the Late Herbert Henry Butler. The very strong Freemason connections of Freemason Peter Leslie Urquhart were used to wrongly ignore this court order and wrongly transfer the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart. Valerie Ann Butler is suing HM Land Registry and Freemason Owen Rhys who acted at the adjudicator for HM Land Registry for over 100 million pounds in damages for wrongfully helping his Freemason brother Peter Leslie Urquhart obtain the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of his and his wife Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.

Suffolk Police Service "Corruption Film Clip
 Exposes" HM Land Registry Biggest ID Theft Case


LiveLeak.com - Suffolk Police Service "Corruption Film Clip Exposes ...

14 Apr 2011 – Suffolk Police Service "Corruption Film Clip Exposes" HM Land Registry Biggest ID Theft Case



The Carroll Foundation Trust case took a further disturbing twist with new shocking revelations which now involve yet another Police Authority in this ongoing white collar organised crime tax fraud heist operation which stretches the globe. Sources have confirmed that the Suffolk Police Service Chief Constable continues to retain the compelling criminal evidential Carroll Trust case files concerning the multi-million pound Warren Park Estate at Warren Hill Newmarket which was owned by the Carroll Foundation Trust. It has now been disclosed that Warren Park was the subject of a criminal seizure operation executed by the HSBC banking institution in concert with an FBI targeted crime syndicate which is understood to be operating in offshore tax havens with impunity. 

Political commentators close to this case have remarked that these Suffolk Police dossiers disclose a shocking trail of criminal subversive cover-up attempts linked to co-ordinated obstruction offences believed to be directly involving the tax havens of the Bahamas British Virgin Islands Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands which are thought to have all been utilized effectively as criminal offshore money laundering platforms in the Carroll Foundation Trust and parallel massive Carroll Maryland Trust cases. Further sources have revealed that the FBI Headquarters in Washington DC have obtained new explosive case files which are understood to reflect a startling litany of compelling forensic evidential material surrounding the fraudulent incorporation of dummy forged and falsified HSBC International offshore corporations linked to fraudulent Delaware incorporated corporations that impulsed this massive offshore tax fraud case.

The Carroll Trust case is held within a complete "lockdown" at the FBI Headquarters Washington DC and the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard Specialist Operations Directorate under the supervision of the Assistant Commissioner John Yates who is believed to have an intimate knowledge of this case of international importance .

How did this man's 500 million business empire vanish into thin air?
So, looks like I’ll be the first to comment on this topic!
Sounds familiar: Britain’s top “policemen” knowing they are complicit in a crime sit on loads of evidence and never hand it to prosecutors. Does this not remind you of the recent news of the world investigation? 
Bin bags In fact, 11,000 pages of documents, recovered from Glenn Mulcaire's home, were still sitting in bin bags at Scotland Yard. In these documents we now know there were 4,000 names of possible hacking victims - from the rich and famous, to victims of murder and relatives of people killed by terrorists. Yates now says his 2009 conclusion is a matter of "regret". 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2000/may/06/2
Gerald Carroll, the most recent family member to run the business, is not prepared to comment. He lives in Belgravia, London, and is on the board of benefactors of Oxford University, having in 1990 endowed for £1.5m a chair of Irish history which is now attached to Hertford college. 
Then I type into Google…
"The Carroll Foundation" Trust "prosecuted" "prosecuted"
And it seems nobody has been prosecuted. Spooky!

The Carroll Foundation Trust one billion dollars organised crime tax fraud case took a further disturbing new twist with yet another UK Police Authority revealed in the explosive compelling dossiers. It has emerged that the former City of London Police Chief Constable Mike Bowron who began his new post as the Chief Constable of the Jersey Police Service concealed shocking offshore money laundering fraud files directly linked to the fraudulent incorporation of HSBC International accounts and forged and falsified Coutts Bank dummy banking arrangements.

Sources have confirmed that the London lawyers Manches premises were penetrated by the FBIScotland Yard targeted offshore crime syndicate which removed specific Carroll Foundation Trust archival records in what is believed to have been an attempt to destroy forensic paper trails leading back to the co-ordinated criminal seizure and liquidation operation of the Carroll Global Corporation's world wide interests.

It has emerged that the primary "Manches blue files" are currently held in custody under supervision of the elite law enforcement officers charged with this embezzlement operation which stretches the globe. These further shocking revelations follow on from British and American media reports concerning the criminal destruction of the Gerald Carroll estate records at an Essex firm of solicitors Prestons Kerlys.

Political commentators have leaked that private investigators who are thought to be working on behalf of a US Government sponsored organisation have disclosed that the City of London Police files also contain forensic material reflecting a startling litany of criminal obstruction which are thought to have impulsed these shocking break-ins burglaries and multiple criminal seizure offences.

David Icke

"No one to blame! … That was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated. … How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one’s nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame."
Erica Jong (b. 1942), U.S. author.

A popular figure on the lecture circuit, New Age David Icke will try to convince you that your problems aren't really your fault but rather that of a huge, world-wide conspiracy. While his web presence hides much of his message in socially-acceptable (and eagerly sought) new-age inanity, his actual beliefs are far more dark. There are a couple of web sites (here andhere and here) where you can find glimpses of hisdavidicketruth.gif (15057 bytes) concepts but the primary site for information on Mr. Icke ("New Age Guru Peddles Old Lies") is the well-respected "Public Eye". It is must reading! We'd also note that a search on theAnti-Defamation League reveals they follow this "New Age Anarchist" and we found this site pretty comical, despite the seriousness of the topic.

One site explains: "Icke says this unelected Global Elite own or control the major global banks, the multinational companies, the drug companies, the global media, the armament companies, the world market in hard drugs, the security services and the institutions of government. Working through the global secret society network, such as the upper levels of the Freemasons and others, the Elite constantly manipulate wars and the world economic and political system for their own ends." In fact, it appears that Mr. Icke rarely misses an opportunity to bash Freemasonry and more.

According to him, Masons killed JFK and Princess Diana as part of a ritual sacrifice. He says that the Masonic Paramedic team deliberately kept Diana in the tunnel until she died. Icke's theory about JFK is that he died a year later than we thought and that J.D Tippet's body was swapped for JFK's for a fake JFK autopsy. Evidence? Of course not.... He also claims that Scottish Rite Freemasons erected an obelisk near Dealey Plaza to celebrate the death of JFK.

In addition, Icke quotes James Shelby Downard as saying "Masonry does not believe in murdering a man in just any old way and in the JFK assassination it went to incredible lengths to make this heinous act correspond to the ancient fertility oblation of the Killing of the King". We're glad that David knows who killed President Kennedy: perhaps he'll be able to get the U.S. government to thank him for providing that information....David Icke after being hit by a lemon merangue pie

Icke's book (above) also provides quite a bit more information for your "enlightenment"! As one web poster explained it: "His main point is that the world is being run by reptilian extraterrestrials who suck human blood, and that people like Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and the Queen of England are shape-changing reptiles from that ancient cold-blooded family line. His proof? None, except for the occasional wild rantings of the crayon-wielding crowd who attend his lectures and confess that they too ran into somebody who turned into a reptile in Wal-Mart one time." And added to the list, according to an article in the April, 2001 Evening Standard (UK) were also country singers Kris Kristofferson and Boxcar Willie! Hmmmm....

David Icke was a soccer player who was forced into retirement due to arthritis. He then became a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) sports presenter, commenting on various middle-of-the-road sports events. He was fired after claiming he was the son of God and after he took his female personal assistant on holiday whilst making her pregnant. Left behind in England during this tryst were Icke's wife and young sons. After widespread public condemnation of his actions, Mr. Icke called a press conference and, wearing a turquoise track suit, explained that he had taken his assistant on this trip in order to heal the earth's energy spots. In addition, he claimed he was the Son of God, Reborn Messiah. After many, many talk show appearances he ultimately recanted his Messiah claim saying that he was mad at the time.

According to one report, Mr. Icke determined that he was "special" as a result of his amazing ability to find parking spaces in Central London....

You can see how the "Imminized" Freemasons fit into his global conspiracy by clicking here or how they supposedly oversee the drug and arms trade here.

Here's what a non-Mason from the UK wrote to us about Mr. Icke: 

"On my last visit to the library I checked out a few books and I found one that David Icke had published two years ago called "I am me, I am free", I was puzzled by the front cover of the book which had an official Library Censor sticker over the picture section of the front cover, when I read the preface by David Icke he bitterly complained that Libraries and bookstores had put a censor sticker over the front cover of his book because there was a picture of him on the front cover completely naked!

Icke claimed that the decision to censor the front cover was made by the authorities controlled by the unelected global elite working through the Freemasons and the illuminati. I had never seen a censor sticker on a book before however I am glad I did!

It seems that in Britain we certainly have our fair share of strange people. I think we are quite tolerant of these people."

And we continue to point out that those associated with anti-Masonry are far from the norm indeed!

The Challenges

At least once a month, we receive an e-mail from someone who wants us to prove that Mr. Icke's claims about world domination by various aliens and/or 'bloodlines' are false. The total foolishness of their demands seems to simply escape them. 

It is not up to US - or anyone else - to prove that Mr. Icke is wrong when he makes up these fantastic connections: that job is up to HIM to PROVE his own claims! Does he really believe that this hugely intelligent and superior race of space aliens somehow manages to foul up all the time and let's folks see them doing their shape-shifting dance? Can he show PROOF of this or is it all his say-so? Does he honestly believe that a race that can traverse the universe can't figure out how to dominate our simple minds? And for crying out loud: if someone accepts the premise that we all derived from Adam and Eve, wouldn't everyone be related at some point? His foolishness about tracking genealogy back to the Middle Ages and beyond, though, makes the mind reel in its simplistic stupidity.

So please pay attention, folks: We are NOT going to waste our time trying to prove to you that there's no international conspiracy of reptoids taking over the world. If you want to believe it, knock yourself out and get mad at us - as most do - that we're just too darn dumb to appreciate the wisdom of Icke.

During the run-up to the US Presidential election of 2004, we were literally BEGGING Icke fans to tell us which of the candidates were reptoids. Sadly, no one ever took the time to let us know - so that SURELY means that BOTH of the candidates were alien shape-shifters although again, it escapes us as to why they'd be saying such nasty things about each other, being part of the same race of space aliens after all. Shouldn't they be working together to change the country to some kind of totalitarian government rather than encouraging free speech and free elections? Oh, wait: it's all part of the plan to trick everyone until they get their act together.... Anyone want to tell us about the candidates for 2008? Oh, wait: Hillary is married to Bill and he was a shape-shifter so clearly that's been answered. Better pull the blankets up tight and hope that nothing slithers out from under the bed.  

A Funny Update!

Observing the 'referring site' statistics for this site, we found something quite odd: a large number of folks were arriving here from a David Icke web page! In a very peculiar situation indeed, our web site was mentioned in the David Icke (online) Newsletter in July, 1999 and folks have been coming from there ever since. Maybe Icke fans really want to know what the truth REALLY is....

What's Next?

"The Biggest Secret"David now has another book out titled - with not a hint of presumption - "The Biggest Secret". We'll be reviewing it when we get totally bored some evening. We wasted some holiday money on a personal copy but we've had it for threeyears without having the slightest desire to do more than skim through. <sigh>!  Amazing what people will buy, isn't it? Stay tuned....

The so-called "Republic of Texas"

And although folks choose web hosting services for various reasons, it seems to us strangely coincidental that Mr. Icke chose the 'Freestates' service for his. Run by a 'militia' group which demands that payment be made in gold or silver (rather than US dollars) and decries the illegality of the US Government, it seems to us to be a very appropriate match and certainly could not have been done accidentally. Curiously too, it's the same web host which, for a couple of years, hosted the hateful "Freemasonry Watch" website.

What Others Think

On a comical note, we happened to find an absolutely HILARIOUS website which - while ridiculing Icke's theories - notes with surgical precision the many fallacies of his claims. Masons in particular will appreciate the site's reference to the "Holy Blood/Holy Grail" work.... It's a 2 part piece which you can check out here and here.

More about creatures from outer space....

SETI @ HomeWe'll admit it: we simply don't believe that Mr. Icke's theories of reptiods in the White House makes any sense at all (except when the President is pushing a bill we don't like!).  However, we're also amenable to the idea that somewhere out there in the depths of space, there might just be another form of life. As a result, we use our spare computer time processing results for the SETI @ home  project which uses your own computer to help the University of California at Berkley process huge amounts of information. It's free, it's harmless, and it's fun. You can read all about it by clicking on the graphic.

Oh: and if you see anyone morphing into a reptiod, do let us know, will you? Send pictures too: we'll post them here! (Say, I wonder why no one has any pictures of these events that - according to Icke devotees - happen to SO many people. Heck, we catch kidnappings, police beatings, meteor showers, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, river pollution, and just about everything on film: why no reptoid conversions? Hmmmm....)

From time to time, the antics of Mr. Icke seem just too bizarre to ignore and we feel compelled to comment on them further. Early on in his online activities, we recall him breathlessly speaking of how SO many hits to his website were coming from Virginia - and since the home of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was there, it was patently obvious that they were 'tracking' him. Of course Mr. Icke seemed blissfully unaware that this was ALSO the home of America Online (AOL), then vying for position as the number one internet service provider in the US. In the early Fall of 2005, another of Mr. Icke's 'misunderstandings' allowed him the opportunity to turn things to his advantage once again. A 'denial of service' attack occurred to his website host causing them considerable problems. As a result, according to Mr. Icke, he was forced to pay an extraordinary amount for additional website hosting - and he decided at this time that he was going to start charging for his newsletter rather than 'giving away' his valuable information. This DoS attack, he claimed, was just another part of the plot against him.

We found his claims particularly laughable since OUR website host - and hundreds of others - suffered similarly as a result of a computer virus that took several hours to track down and eradicate. Of course, our website host (nor any others we're aware of) would ever consider charging the end-user for such events and after several hours without service, things came back to normal and life moved on. We didn't start a chargeable newsletter either!

Poor Mr. Icke: the world really is against him it seems. A computer attack that hits hundreds of companies was CLEARLY all about HIM! Poor Mr. Icke....  (Then again, it's most likely that rather than being 'poor', he's laughing all the way to the bank!)

AND BY THE WAY
While we really do love the very unique way that Mr. Icke's supporters regularly write to say that obviously we're afraid of him and he's clearly telling the truth. This is because, they say, proven through 'the attention you've given him' or by 'your attempts to discredit him'.

The facts: Mr. Icke does quite well discrediting himself. He doesn't need our help.
And, more importantly, there are nearly 350 other pages on this site. This single page about their idol has taken about .029% (not 29% but less than 3 one-hundreth of ONE percent) of our interest.
Now really: do you honestly think that's a LOT of attention?

If you do, that explains why you accept his hypotheses....

Albert Pike

"The Anti-Masons, traitors and perjurers some, and some mere political knaves,
purified Masonry by persecution, and so proved to be its benefactors."

Albert Pike (1809-1891); "Morals and Dogma"

Albert PikeNo discussion of anti-Masonry would be complete without an extensive mention of Albert Pike. The flyleaf of a biographywritten by Mason Jim Tresner describes him as "...a pioneer, a crusader for justice for Native Americans, a practical joker, a reformer, a journalist, a philosopher, a prominent Washington lawyer, and a Civil War general." For many years, he was leader of the Scottish Rite in the southern United States and he was the author of Morals and Dogma published in 1871. The title in and of itself has led to much confusion since those who are NOT Masons seem to assume that his book sets forth 'dogma' for Freemasonry. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let's clarify right at the outset: the vast majority of those whobecome Masons have no idea whatsoever who Pike was. In fact, most Masons throughout the world become members and will eventually die without ever encountering either him or any of his works. Of all the Masons world-wide, it's likely that fewer than 2% will have ever even SEEN (much less read) a copy of ANY ofhis hundreds of writings, most of which have been relegated to the dustbin of history. Of the few who have, what they're familiar with - almost without exception - will be Morals and Dogma, a book that anti-Masons delight in holding up as the 'Bible' of Freemasonry. The reason this book seems important is two-fold: first, it was found in a number of Masons' homes (as explained in the next paragraph) and second, because it had something many books of its day did not: an exhaustive index. It was NOT important because it was a 'guide' or 'rulebook' of any kind in Freemasonry. It was, simply, the sometimes jumbled thoughts of one man.

The Morals and Dogma of Freemasonry? NO!

For about 60 years Morals and Dogma was given as a gift to all who joined the Southern United States jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite. The Scottish Rite is an appendant body of Freemasonry. It is NOT Freemasonry itself! While all Scottish Rite members are Masons less than 25% of Masons have ever been Scottish Rite members. When the Shrine was formed right around the time of Pike's death, being a member of the Scottish Rite was a requirement to join the 'Playground of Freemasonry'. In the United States, the SR degrees were offered in a theatre setting over the course of as little as one or two weekends so those those who wanted to become Shriners would join the Scottish Rite rather than joining the York Rite which would take much longer. Consequently these books wound up in a number of houses where they would sit on a bookshelf for decades - unread.

In the earliest printings there was an instruction that it was to be returned to the Supreme Council in the case of death of the owner. This request was not because the book contained anything of a secret or concealed nature. It was simply because books were expensive and this 'recycling' (at a time long before that word became part of our lexicon) kept costs down a bit. Of course there was no way to enforce that request and in a majority of cases it was unknown or ignored. (Hey: if the book wasn't read, nobody would have seen that request!) As book publishing costs came down, later editions did not contain that request. There have been those who've suggested that this REQUEST was for some nefarious purpose but the reality is that it was NOT an 'order' in any way and was quite impossible to enforce. It also ignores the reality of the times.

We'd guess that of the few who actually begin reading this ponderous 850+ page tome only a very small percentage actually finish it. Of those who do finish it, the great majority willadmit that they could barely understand it. (Lately, with the advent of various book comparison online venues, it would seem that far more NON-Masons have read the book than Masons!) Despite the fact that only a miniscule number of Masons have read this book (and then, only those who read English!), anti-Masons and the unknowledgeable continue to claimthat Pike and his works exert significant influence over Freemasonry today. Let's be clear: the book was NEVER given to all Masons and it has NEVER, EVER (not once, anywhere, anytime - can we say NO in any other way?) been used as a 'textbook' or 'instruction' for Freemasons.

Morals & Dogma by Albert PikeMorals and Dogma is a philosophical work, created by an individual who was an extraordinarily prolific writer even for an age when prolific writing was the norm. It was also fashioned in the style of Pike's time when public speaking was a high art form and Pike was known far and wide for his skills in this area. Morals and Dogma isnot a manifesto (i.e. public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions) for Masonry or even for the Scottish Rite's Southern Jurisdiction. It is, rather, an attempt by Pike to provide a framework for understanding religions and philosophies of the past. Pike believed that without knowing the history of a concept, one couldn't grasp the concept itself - and thus his lengthy explanations of various religious beliefs, consistent with knowledge of those beliefs in the mid-1800s. And it's NOT a matter of this book being relevant in "one jurisdiction and not another" as some religious intolerants sometimes claim: this book was NOT written for ANY Masonic jurisdiction: it was written for a totally separate organization in which less than one quarter of Masons have held membership at any point in time. That Pike had the time, interest, and financial ability (remember that well before he became a Mason he was a businessman and lawyer who had a pretty fair amount of what we today would call 'disposable income' and that he ultimately served as a General in the Confederate Army and more. He wasn't poor by any stretch so the writing of a book by a person who had money and a passion for reading/writing doesn't mean that his work is Freemasonry's doing.

Interested in Pike's statement about "Lucifer" in M&D? Click HERE!

If one were to estimate, the numbers would likely be as follows:

          Out of the next 100 men who join Masonry world-wide, less than 10 will obtain (either through purchase or from a library) Pike's Morals and Dogma. Now that it's freely available for free on the web, we doubt that these numbers will change in any way. It's just NOT that important to Freemasonry and nobody will mention it to the new Mason.
          Out of those 10 Masons, perhaps 8 will actually pick it up to read. (Others will have received it as a gift from a relative or mentor - and simply aren't interested.)
          Out of those 8, perhaps 3 will actually finish reading it. (It is, after all, over 900 pages long and has an index of over 200 pages. When's the last time YOU read a book with over 1,100 pages???)
          Out of the 3 who actually finish, perhaps one will feel he understands it!

It is a massive book and is certainly not 'light reading'!

And we suspect that precious few anti-Masons have ever really read the book - but are not at all hesitant about quoting passages they've found (or have been pointed toward). Like the Bible, they'll take a phrase here and a word there to create a scenario which 'explains' their objections to Freemasonry. (Did we mention that Pike's thoughts on ANYTHING have no sway over any Grand Lodge or any of its members? Did we mention that Pike's musings aren't even binding in ANY way on even Scottish Rite Masons in the Southern US Scottish Rite jurisdiction?)

The index mentions essentially every word that Pike used in the book thus making it distressingly easy to find a titillating word or two. Taking quotes out of context is an entire cottage industry that has developed around this particular work.

Ponderous Prose

Because of the writing style used by Pike many of the explanations he seeks to provide about his thoughts on history, religion, philosophy, and more, are totally lost on current day readers. Pike felt that unless one understood the complete background of a philosophy he could never expect to understand any part thereof. As a result he tried to put everything he'd read, learned, or 'knew' into his prodigious writings.

In the case of Morals and Dogma, it's sheer size alone keeps most people today fromreading, much less understanding it. Don't believe it? Use our Reality Gauge and get a copy from your local library or from the web. Then READ IT! Don't just browse and look for offensive passages which you might find if you use the index; actually READ THE BOOK! We can pretty much guarantee that you'll not be that 1% who understand the darn thing - and even if you are you'll see that Freemasonry today is SO far removed from all of that turgid prose that it's incomprehensible as to why people would bother to quote Pike on ANYTHING!

Grabbing quotes out of context (and this was, after all, his written discussion of various world religions and philosophies), it's quite easy to find things which will make Pike sound just awful. In context - and particularly when one considers that this is one book by one writer -Morals and Dogma simply has no relevance to the actions and activity of Freemasonry. And it should be noted that Masonophobes (anti-Masons) also ignore the hundreds of thousands of Masons who have explained - in books, talks, and on the web in videos, blogs, websites and more - that Pike's book is NOT any type of 'ruling guide' or 'handbook' for Freemasonry.

How did Morals and Dogma gain such 'notoriety'?

For many years, the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States' Scottish Rite gave those who received the 32nd Degree a copy of this book. It was a tribute to a man who had done so very much for their organization. For many Masons who joined after World War I or around the Great Depression in the US or during/after World War II, it might have been theonly book they owned which related to Freemasonry! Hundreds of thousands of copies of this work were published and given away. They have collected dust on bookshelves for decades ever since.

For those who sought to learn Freemasonry's supposed "secrets", this tome seemed to be a ready reference. A cover with an apparently 'Masonic' emblem; reference to "all" the degrees (so they thought), and a book which had been in their house since they were old enough to remember. A phrase was plucked from here and there - and suddenly Masonry was an all-encompassing satanic group in their mind.

Ignoring the most important part

Starting with the first edition of Morals and Dogma in 1871, every edition is prefaced with these words:

"Everyone is free to reject and dissent from whatsoever herein may seem to him to be untrue or unsound. It is only required of him that he shall weigh what is taught, and give it a fair hearing and unprejudiced judgment."

Knowledgeable Masonic authors say these were the words of Pike himself but others aren't so sure. Regardless, the words appear in every copy so if a person claims that the OTHER parts of the book constitute some sort of 'rulebook' for Freemasonry, why don't they note THIS part which totally refutes that claim? How can one assume that Masons follow blindly everything else Pike 'taught' (he wasn't 'teaching' but that's another discussion) but ignore the two sentences that start the book?

Today some Masons will diminish Pike's importance so as to deflect the charges of anti-Masons. Sometimes too it is noted that Pike never held an office in Freemasonry. For the record: Pike joined Freemasonry in 1851 and in 1855 (four years later) was the Master of his lodge. He also served his Grand Lodge as the Chairman of the Committee on Masonic Law & Usage and for a year held his highest office in Freemasonry: his Grand Lodge's Chairman of the Library Committee. (For the record, even this site's author has held higher Masonic offices!) While these are important offices, they were at a jurisdictional level and NOT involving hundreds of other Grand Lodges worldwide. He received the Scottish Rite degrees from Albert Mackey and immediately undertook the task of re-writing them to provide a more organized series of lessons which would (ostensibly) impart knowledge. Again, this ONLY applied to the Scottish Rite Southern United States Jurisdiction. The degrees in the rest of the world (including the then more populous Northern Masonic Jurisdiction in the United States) were NOT re-written by Pike, once again reinforcing the fact that Pike did NOT rule Freemasonry - or even the entire Scottish Rite!

Pike's extraordinary influence

Certainly there is no doubt that he may have been among the most influential Masons of his time. His size (both vertical - at about 6' 3" - and horizontal - weighing some 300 pounds) coupled with long, flowing locks and a thick beard - jet black in his youth and white in his old age, made him seem even more the giant of his time than he was. Possessed with the gift of a deep voice and exceptional oratory skills, he WAS formidable - and a person to be long remembered.

He is today one of the names most well known but whether he was more important than others remains to be seen. It must be also remembered that this was a time when communications even with surrounding states was severely limited and travel from place to place took days. Pike wrote Morals and Dogma some eight years before Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first wireless telephone message! Pike was a giant of his time who did extraordinary things in his lifetime. He was the ONLY Confederate soldier to be honored in America's capitol of Washington, DC, where a huge statue of him dominates a major intersection (Judiciary Square). See more about that here.

While Pike was an extraordinary man, his writings are mischaracterized and the shadow he casts over Freemasonry today is, for all intents and purposes, inconsequential. His philosophical writings have been misquoted and used completely out of context to the point that today it is likely even he would not recognize them!Demonization is the name of the game that anti-Masons play with Albert Pike, including spurious charges that he was part of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a traitor to the country (because he served as a General on the losing side in the Civil War), and more!

Anti-Masons too make much of the fact that Pike is actually buried within the 'House of the Temple' - the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction's building in Washington, DC. However, they never seem to get to the WHY of this supposed importance. The facts are that in 1944 and 1953, by special permission of the United States Congress, the remains of Sovereign Grand Commanders Albert Pike and, later, John Henry Cowles were placed in vaults to either side of the light well. Memorial busts of Pike and Cowles, each on a marble pedestal, were added at that time. Both men had made lifetime commitments to the Scottish Rite and it honored them accordingly. Those seeking to show some nefarious connection between Pike being buried there seem to have no explanation for - or wish to even acknowledge - that Pike was NOT so unique in that Cowles lies there as well.

Albert Pike in mid-lifeOther recognitions by his country

To this day, in addition to the statue, the United States honors Pike through its interstate highway system. The Albert Pike Highway runs from Hot Springs, Arkansas to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Cities along the route include:
Arkansas: Hot Springs, Fort Smith
Oklahoma: Muskogee, Tulsa, Enid, Cherokee, Alva
Kansas: Coldwater, Greensburg, Dodge City
Colorado: Pueblo, Colorado Springs
Corresponding US Highways:
US 64, [OK 34/KS 1], US 183, US 54, US 154, US 50, US 85

More Anti-Pike rhetoric

Recently, we found an interesting and informative essay titled "Venus, the Devil, Jack Chick and the Freemasons".  We encourage you to read it here. It's pretty comical.

Reading Pike

We occasionally get inquiries as to where one might obtain a copy of Morals & Dogma: at one point in time, there were copies donated by Masons and their families in nearly every public library in the country. Most of these have been 'removed' by patrons (the word "stolen" isprobably more accurate) without the permission of the library. You may be able to get a copy easily via inter-library loan though. There are also commercially produced publications available at Amazon and other locations. If you're looking to read Morals & Dogma online, you can do so here.

We would encourage anyone interested in understanding Morals and Dogma toread 'A Glossary to Morals and Dogma' by Rex Hutchens as well as the informative book 'The Bible in Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma' by Hutchens and Monson. These titles are now somewhat hard to find but well worth the effort.

There is a 2007 book titled Morals & Dogma in the 21st Century by Kevin Main, Brian Chaput, James Miller, and William Goodell, a group of young Masons who've gone through Pike's original work and have provided modern interpretations and understanding. It's an intriguing work. There have been a couple of disparaging comments (there's no possible way to make a 're-telling' the same as the original, to wit the many attempts to update the Bible, but this does provide a very unique look from a modern perspective.

You can also listen to a podcast done with the authors at the Masonic Central website or head to YouTube to see a video they've done.

And if you really enjoy Pike's prose, you will certainly enjoy A Bridge To Light which has been the heir apparent to Morals & Dogma. It's available from the Scottish Rite here.

Pike's long out-of-print Esoterika edited by the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction's Grand Historian Arturo deHoyos has recently been released to rave reviews. It too can be ordered from the Scottish Rite at this page. While you're there, you may wish to consider membership in the Scottish Rite Research Society.

Reading about Pike

One of the best books about Pike and his life has been written by Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Arkansas in Fayettville. A Life of Albert Pike is available directly from the Scottish Rite at this link as well as from Amazon and other online booksellers. Note that the pricing for the book from the SR is considerably lower although we can't tell if perhaps this is a paperback compared to the Amazon selection, known to be hard cover. Either way, it's well worth the investment if you want to really learn about Pike, the man.

Some other good material related to Pike and the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite includes Albert Pike: The Man Beyond The Monument. Written by Mason Jim Tresner, a long-time fan of Pike, this anecdotal autobiography will give you a REAL feel for the man.

And don't forget to see other related reading material we've written about here.

Jim Shaw

"Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser Iscariots than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil."
Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977), U.S. author, critic. Alms for Oblivion, "For Sale" (1964).

Co-Author - "The Deadly Deception"

For several years, Jim Shaw's book, "The Deadly Deception", lay in dusty corners unknown and unacknowledged. Then, with the rush to find 'dirt' by online anti-Masons, it was given a LOT of attention by those who want to 'prove' how evil Masonry 'really' is! Passages and claims were repeated by many who had never read the book but were happy to repeat things.

Jim Shaw was indeed a Mason and was active in the Scottish Rite bodies of Florida. He became a Mason in 1945 and demitted (requested that he be removed from active membership) in 1966. Despite the claims made in his book, he was NOT the Master of a Masonic lodge nor did he ever receive the honorary 33rd Degree of the Scottish Rite.

Art deHoyos and S. Brent Morris, noted Masonic authors, undertook an extensive analysis of Shaw's book and reveal the many inaccuracies it contains at this site. In addition, deHoyos has added additional documentation copies here. While some folks may try to 'enhance'their past, few are brazen enough to publish such provable untruths as Shaw has done.

Morris and deHoyos have documented through publicly available records that Jim Shaw not only was not the Master of his lodge as he claims but that he was never even an elected officer!!! Beyond that, they also prove - using public documents and materials available throughout the world - that he never received the 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. The only "Deadly Deception" is the deception Shaw foists on his readers.

No Mason would have qualms with a decision by Jim Shaw to leave Masonry. What Masons do find objectionable are the distortions and lies used to 'justify' it! Those who may believe that the inaccuracies in this book are the work of others, may find this site of interest.

One Lies - The Other Swears To It

Using an old saw, we noted an interesting support for Shaw's book on Larry Kunk's Ephesians 5:11 site where Mr. Kunk asserts that Masonry has launched attacks against Tom McKenney as the primary author so as to discredit his further books. Mr. Kunk's page says,

"The methodology utilized by the Lodge to "deal with" The Deadly Deception utilizes ad hominem arguments. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, such arguments are "To the man; appealing to personal interests, prejudices, or emotions rather than to reason."

This argument is particularly interesting in light of the common use of this exact same tactic by anti-Mason Ken Mitchell ("Another Mason; another lie.") and so many other anti-Masons. Kunk's page continues,

"An example of such an argument would be to declare that so-and-so "is an adulterer; we should not consider anything he would say, in a spiritual context, as having merit." We can see that such an argument would be invalid because it attacks the man, rather than the issue. Consider David: he was an adulterer and a murderer. Yet, the book of Psalms is in God's word, the Holy Bible. In the case of The Deadly Deception, Freemasonry has not taken legitimate issue with the accuracy of ritual or teachings of Freemasonry which are exposed in it, or the fact that the ritual and teachings are incompatible with a sincere expression of Christianity. Rather they have attacked the person of Jim Shaw. Jim Shaw is not the issue. Freemasonry is the issue."

This circular reasoning makes one think that Mr. Kunk supports the lies of these authors and that 'the end justifies the means'! 

Beyond that, we must wonder why Mr. Kunk would think that a modern-day adulterer (not someone of the Bible like David) would be so callous in disregarding the injunctions of the Bible but yet merit the support of the religious community and be acknowledged as having moral authority to speak in a spiritual context. A bit contradictory, we'd opine.... Apparently Mr. Kunk must feel that those such as Jimmy Swaggart can still speak with authority on moral issues.

Kunk's argument also ignores the fact that if Mr. Shaw was wrong (some would say "lied") about his very own personal Masonic activities then isn't it quite possible that he's also wrong (lied?) about the "accuracy of the ritual and teachings" alluded to by Mr. Kunk? Are we expected to defend the claims of a proven liar just because Mr. Kunk wants to ignore the facts? While being an adulterer may be meaningless to Mr. Kunk and his skewed morality, we'd submit that being a liar certainly DOES matter when it comes to issues of credibility - and all of Shaw's claims are built on his assertions that he was there and that these things happened to HIM!

Shaw asserts that Masons were involved in alcohol abuse, pay-for-prestige degrees, and so much more. His assertions are based on HIS supposed personal involvement. Yet it is provable that he never, ever was involved in the things he claims. How can ANYONE, then, be so absurd as to agree with the claims of a liar?

Mr. Kunk's crony, Duane Washum, has written about Mr. Shaw:

We cannot prove or disprove Jim's status a Past Master or as a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason.  However, we found his testimony to ring true and we agree completely with his assessment of Freemasonry.  Jim is an Ex-Mason with Jesus.

Pretty intriguing: there are provable facts that Shaw lied but, discounting that, Duane finds what Shaw wrote 'rings true'.... Does any of this make sense in the world where people look at facts rather than lies which support their hatred?

You can also read some comments about Mr. Shaw's co-author, LTC Tom McKenney, USMC (Ret.) who seems a bit attracted by liars. Our comments on that are found here.

Ephesians/L.Kunk

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them."

Ephesians 5:11 - King James Version, The Holy Bible

And here we expose those who peddle such works of darkness. 
Meet Larry Kunk!

The Ephesians 5-11 "ministry" is active in their condemnations of Freemasonry attempting to paint it as a religion by taking out of context quotes from Masonic literature and by staging 'sneak attacks' on Masons before they can "...put up their defenses" (as they themselves describe it. Larry Kunk, claims to be a former Rosicrucian (Did he order a booklet from the back of a magazine? Did he realize that Rosicrucianism of the type that he MIGHT have been involved with - A.M.O.R.C. - has no Masonic connection? Naw - gotta have a hook for his hatred!) and was in the early years of the decade of 2000 involved in some argument with his local church, encouraging a 'break-away' from them.

Mr. Kunk uses the tax laws of the United States to provide tax avoidance for monies he receives in his quest to spread his 'message'. (A self-addressed envelope is included with every mailing, conveniently!). His "Ephesians 5-11" entity has obtained approval from the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(C)(3) corporation - i.e. tax exempt - even though the only thing they appear to do is rail against Freemasonry.  Will Mr. Kunk reveal the records of his funding? If not, why not? He is, after all, claiming to be a 'non-profit' entity under the 'religion' exemption to the tax code ....  

In the late 1990s, Larry began offering a number of (mostly quite old) Masonic Monitors (the books published with the various 'rituals' in them) for sale and/or download on his web site in violation of copyright laws. He now will sell you a custom-made CD-ROM with rituals of your choice conveniently placed there. Caveat emptor! 

What Mr. Kunk and his contemporaries refuse to recognize is that language changes over the years and the things people said or wrote fifty (or two hundred) years ago may have a far different meaning (understanding) than today. The sale of copies of 50+ year old ritual books, then, can lead to only one of two conclusions:

bullet

Mr. Kunk is attempting to fatten his wallet by selling long out-of-date material (which, we hope, he presumed were out of copyright) as being current and thus valid for study of Masonry; or

bullet

Mr. Kunk is deliberately violating the law by selling or illegally distributing material under copyright.

You decide!

Larry's web site includes the pages for "Ex-Masons for Jesus" as part of his web domain. One of those involved in that 'organization' is Duane Washum, the "Ex-Worshipful Master" (who's also listed as an ex-Chaplain apparently to make it appear that there are more people in this group). What is their message? Judge for yourself based on facts. Examine the 'work' of Ephesians 5-11; is there any redeeming message there, save a disdain for Freemasonry. (Based on the material at the 2000 "Ministry to Masons Conference" perhaps we can expect a new slant with this religious organization railing against other service clubs like the Lions as well as organizations for US veterans like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the American Legion). Perhaps, like Hamaas, they'll rail against the Rotary and Lions? Oh, wait: they already have screeds against 'animal' lodges (Lions, Elks, etc.) and service organizations. How very interesting.

You may also want to consider a couple of more things:

bullet

Do the 'testimonies' sound a bit contrived? 

In the case of Pastor Stoney Shaw, after ten years of supposedly exemplary Christian work with a church in St. Louis he suddenly he discovers that there are Masons in the congregation and begins to take actions against them - the very same Masons who'd helped make all of these formerly wonderful things possible. Because of his actions, though, the church became divided while he supposedly lost his health - and his pastorship. Perhaps those Masons weren't really bad but when the seeds of discord and hatred were planted by this 'Man of God', the result was inevitable?)

bullet

Are any of the supposed 'ex-Masons' or 'righteous pastors' identified by full name and location? 

Each edition of "A letter from Ephesus" contains breathless recountings of men who have left their lodge or ministers and their congregations who've battled the evils of Freemasonry. On Duane Washum's so-called "Ex-Masons for Jesus" website, there are testimonies of those who've been 'led out of the lodge' (like unsuspecting sheep perhaps?). Yet NONE of these have full names and/or locations. Why not? Aren't these righteous individuals proud enough of their decisions to stand and be counted? Do they really need to hide in the shadows of anonymity? 

bullet

And does Mr. Kunk sound a bit like a reformed alcoholic in his frenetic attacks on Freemasonry - or has he discovered that running meetings by a tax-free organization which he owns can be a profitable sideline?

Again, use your judgment and evaluate whether this is reality or simply a very fertile imagination working overtime!

"Don't lose the element of surprise"

"Keep your intentions to witness to a Mason to yourself and your prayer group. If you don't, you may not get the opportunity to witness. Masons will not usually speak with you if they know that you hold a negative opinion about Freemasonry. The more they think you know, the less likely they are to let down their defenses and meet with you. The most common Masonic defence is silence. The most effective method is to work one-on-one with a man who has not had time to speak with other Masons about the meeting. Never agree to meet with a group of Masons without other solid Christians being present. If you attempt to witness to two or more Masons at the same time, they will stick together like a pack of wolves. In reality, that is exactly what most of them are. However, there usually is very little physical danger."

--From the web site of Larry Kunk and his Ephesians 5-11 "Ministry" (5 July 1998)

Does this seem like honest and open Christian behavior to you? Is this the kind of advice Jesus would give? Gosh, Larry....

And by the way, Larry has a great offer for all visitors to his web site. If you're one of the first three people to report a broken link, he'll send you a tape or some tracts. What a deal....

We wonder if he knows that all of the popular web authoring programs have automatic hyperlink checkers and that there's also shareware and freeware that'll do the job quite nicely (quickly and completely too) as well. We'd bet he does! <wink>

One further item of note is Mr. Kunk's active defense of proven liar, Jim Shaw. We document Mr. Shaw's falsehoods - and Mr. Kunk's defense of them - right here. Apparently Mr. Kunk feels it's ok to lie as long as it defames Freemasonry. A term sometimes used by Masons to describe similar activity is "Liars for Jesus".

Since this page first appeared, we received a message from a former co-worker of Mr. Kunk who felt we were overly critical of Kunk. Frankly, we resent the use of US tax rules to enhance a Ministry of Hate and it is Mr. Kunk who does this. Freedom of religion? Freedom of speech? No: freedom to defame and freedom to spread hatred and bigotry! It's hard to imagine being overly-critical of lies and deceit.... Curiously, though, we've also had messages from others who knew/know Mr. Kunk and take quite a different tack - one agreeing with what we've said and providing concrete examples.

Taking a year (or forever?) off?

As of June 2, 2001, there was no notice whatsoever of the 10th Annual (2001) "Missions to Masons" Conference which, in the past, had been so highly touted by Mr. Kunk and his followers using the US taxpayer paid-for Ephesians 5-11 website. Curiously, within a couple of days of our update which noted this glaring omission, the 2000 announcement page had been changed to indicate a meeting in July "somewhere in Kentucky". After Mr. Kunk's prior planning of these meetings, this obscurity seems quite strange.

Later, his site had an announcement of the supposed 11th (2002)  Conference, again without details and still using the same page as the 2000 conference announcement - as one could see by viewing the source code! Perhaps "Missions to Masons" finally discovered that these meetings which got together a few discredited Masonic opponents were not the things that even they were willing to spend money attending.

The site brags that "The legacy of the Ministry To Masons Conferences has been repentance in the lives of many Masons and revival in Churches which have taken a bold stand. We have lost count of the number of men who have left the Masonic Lodge as a result of knowledge which was provided through these cooperative efforts." Did they lose both hands perhaps? It appears they'd only need one to tally the count. In fact, we'd welcome seeing a list of even a dozen of those (including contact information). Why? We believe the claim is blatantly false!

That notwithstanding, Mr. Kunk's "Missions to Masons" is an excellent tax ruse allowing him to escape tax liabilities which other US taxpayers must bear. We doubt he'll want to give these up even if it means scurrying around at the last minute. And finding so-called 'theological schools' who welcome conflict and controversy into their curriculum seems as if it's their solution.

As of 2010, it appears that this whole ridiculous idea has gone the way of the dodo. We have no doubt, however, that Mr. Kunk - similar to many of his cronies - continues to use the US tax laws to claim benefits at the expense of everyone else. SHAME!

Pat Robertson

Have you ever tried to read Robertson's book, "The New World Order"? It is, to say the least, tortured. The descriptions of the Illuminati - Masonic - Trilateral Commission conspiracy theory are so convoluted as to make one's eyes glaze over. And beyond that, every couple of months Rev. Robertson seems to hit the news with even more egregious and absurd posturing that make any analysis of his work seem to pale in comparison.

We have, however, been enjoying a a book about Robertson titled "The Most Dangerous Man in America" by Robert Boston and we've watched with interest the sparring which has occurred between Robertson and the organization 'Americans United for the Separation of Church and State' during the 2000 US elections. Nevertheless, we still can't quite understand what Robertson has said in his book - and until we do, we'll withhold full commentary rather than simply accept the version of a Robertson critic.

For now, we'll just mention that Reverend Robertson - an ostensible leader of the 'Religious Right' in the United States - is convinced that the Masons are part of some grand scheme and he uses the trustworthy sources of Jim Shaw and the like on which to base these conclusions.

While we try to avoid political or religious commentary on our site, we find that his thinking on a number of topics is somewhat bizarre. It is reported that he once signed a letter describing feminism as a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft and become lesbians." According to the BBC, he later said he had signed the letter without reading it carefully. He has said "I speak from the heart so often, and many times these statements need clarification and, if brought out of context, can be misunderstood." There's no misunderstanding his anti-Masonic (and anti-a lot of things) stance though.

Perhaps Robertson is angry that his father - a former US Congressman and Mason - might not have wanted Pat in his Masonic Lodge. Who knows....

On the June 8, 1998 episode of Robertson's "700 Club," a segment focused on Orlando, Florida's rainbow flag display and the attendance of thousands of gays and lesbians at nearby Disney World the previous weekend.

Charging that the acceptance of homosexuality is "the last step in the decline of Gentile civilization," Robertson predicted dire consequences for both Orlando and the United States. "We're not in any way, shape or form hating anybody," said Robertson. "This is not a message of hate; this is a message of redemption. But if [pause] a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor, it isn't necessarily something we ought to open our arms to."

"And I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes," Robertson continued, "and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you."

The Orlando warning is not Robertson's first brush with hurricane control. In 1985, he claimed his prayers diverted a hurricane from colliding with Virginia Beach, home base for his Christian Broadcasting Network.

Following the horrific events of 9/11/2001, Robertson's bizarre interpretations of world events once again shocked and upset virtually everyone. In line with the comments of racists and neo-Nazi groups, Robertson on 9/13 (while it was believed that in excess of 10,000 had died in the massacre) declared on his world-wide television program that the attacks occurred because American had insulted God "at the highest levels of our government" through "rampant secularism," pornography and abortion. As punishment, he declared, "God Almighty..lift[ed] his protection from us." 

His guest of the day, conservative evangelist Jerry Falwell, said "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians.... I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen." later that week. Robertson agreed enthusiastically. 

Both men spent considerable time in the following weeks trying to disassociate themselves from those remarks, with Robertson claiming that he hadn't fully understood what was being said. It would appear that this is a problem he has frequently.... On December 5th, Robertson was forced to resign as a director of the Christian Coalition as a result of his egregious remarks!

Robertson's strong support of Israel is - we believe - also warped. It is based on a perverse theological notion that Israel must be supported to prepare for the Second Coming of Christ when Jews will either convert or be destroyed.

And then there are those pesky issues surrounding his gold mine investments....  It just goes on and on and on....

Just when we think that it can't get any more absurd, in August, 2005 the Reverend Robertson caused more controversy saying that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was "a terrific danger". He was quoted as saying "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

We find it truly amazing what some anti-Masons seem to evolve into....

Every few months, as we said earlier, there's something more bizarre: after recently saying that Ariel Sharon's massive heart attack was as a result of divine retribution, March 2006 finds Robertson saying that radical Islamists were inspired by a "demonic power". It's obvious to us that Reverend Robertson truly enjoys the limelight from these egregious comments. Revenues at his 700 Club seem unaffected by this so either there are an awful lot of gullible folks out there or he's preaching to a VERY strange choir! Because of Freemasonry's emphasis on toleration, we can appreciate why he would feel MOST uncomfortable around it. We can only wonder what his father would think of such behavior....

Now it's Dover, Pennsylvania being threatened with divine wrath because they voted out a pro-creationist school board. And then there's Pat's claim that he can leg press 2,000 pounds. REALLY? The man - at 76 - seems to say that he's broken the record held by a former Florida State quarterback and by MORE THAN 600 POUNDS! Truly, truly amazing. You can read about this particular gaffe here. You know, at some point folks might wise up and realize that Pat's claims - including the ones about Masonry and the so-called New World Order - are just as phony as his leg pressing claims.

Americans United notes that Robertson is becoming increasingly shrill trying to hold on to his donor base. Heck, we thought he was pretty shrill when he was accusing the Masons of world domination - but sadly, many folks see attacks on Freemasonry as 'nothing to worry about'. We believe, on the other hand, that it follows like day the night that such people will and DO become more and more strident, attacking a broader range of religious and political beliefs after having when their appetite on the innocent and unanswering Masonic fraternity.

The Haitian earthquake in 2010? Pat's got the answer yet again: it was a pact that the Haitians made with the devil some 200 years ago for their freedom. "They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal" Referred to by major officials as "utterly stupid" and "loathsome", things like this are all part and parcel of the inflexible fundamentalists who want to blame Freemasonry (along with a LOT of other causes) for world events, including those involving the forces of nature.

We found the satirical piece at the always irreverent The Onion enough to keep us laughing for several minutes.

It's really amazing that SO many folks pay attention to this man.

Conspiracy Theorists

"If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act."
Don DeLillo (b. 1926), U.S. author. Libra, pt. 2, "In Dallas" (1988).

LOOK OUT!Some people spend decades - perhaps their entire lives - trying to prove the existence of things like flying saucers or evil forces in the Bermuda Triangle. They devote SO much energy looking for a way to 'connect the dots', thinking that they are the very first person in the history of time to identify a link that everyone else has overlooked. Ignoring the fact that they're repeating - sometimes word for word - the theories of other conspiracy theorists on the very same topic, they become angered if everyone else fails to see their genius.

A few of these folks actually become obsessed with the belief that these forces are really conspiring to focus this evil energy directly towards them personally. It's as if they've been hand-selected by the 'forces of evil' for this rough treatment. Curiously, they can't quite explain why such powerful forces wouldn't just immediately silence them so as to protect the 'secret' that's being exposed. Then again, logic is often the very first victim in these situations.

Such behavior is not new. From the dawn of civilization, people feared and worshiped things that they couldn't rationally explain. Whether it's solar eclipses or wheat circles, they'll concoct explanations, often with foreboding overtones. Today it continues with those who try to link Freemasonry with their evil world domination theories!

The lurking concept of conspiracy constantly interweaves with reality-based political thought and sometimes even dominates it. The American revolution, some historians now argue, was rooted in a pandemic of persecutory delusions. Barely 75 years had passed from the time of the Salem Witch Trials to the stirrings of the Revolution and there were those who would have heard the tales from parents and grand parents who had lived through that period.

Paranoid fantasies suffuse American history in particular: the Illuminati conspiracy and anti-Masonry (of the 1820-1840 period), anti-Catholicism, "the Gallic peril", slaveholders' conspiracies, baby-killing and dismemberment by Indians, the Yellow Peril, the Great Red Scare of 1919-20, reefer madness, the fluoridation poisoning fear, the Red Nightmare and McCarthyism in the fifties, JFK assassination theories, the TriLateralists, the Gemstone File, cattle mutilation, the Satanist conspiracy, and so many more.

Anyone in doubt of the influence and industry of the paranoid is directed to Murray Levin's dissection of the Great Red Scare in the U.S. which led to lynching, the crushing of unions, and the abandoning of civil liberties. The belief in a nonexistent Bolshevik conspiracy to foment a revolution that would destroy the American way of life was supported by an "irrefutable" 4465-page document called the Lusk Report. (See Rethinking the Red Scare: The Lusk Committee and New York's Crusade Against Radicalism, 1919-1923 (Studies in American Popular History and Culture)) Psychotic ravings are reprinted without evaluation while bits and pieces of reality are force-fitted to prove what amounted to a vague assumption. We note that it's not much different, actually, than what one can find in Usenet messages and on websites today.

Fortunately, not all unexplained events become grist for the conspiracy theory mill: the Loch Ness Monster of Scotland or his smaller friend, Champ, of Lake Champlain, Vermont, USA are a couple of examples where a long-running theories doesn't seem to involve a nefarious conspiracy. For a number of folks, though, those Wheat Crop Circles which we now know to be an elaborate ruse, were linked to the arrival of extraterrestrial beings that world governments surely knew about but weren't telling. (Why crop circles in the 1990s? Why not when they were building their landing strip in Mexico or during their famous visits to the US during the 1950s? Ignore what doesn't fit the theory....)

Time and again, the conspiracy theorist is proven wrong (a good example is found at this web site where many so-called 'US Federal Reserve conspiracies' are debunked) but despite it all, the conspiracy theories continue to appear and reappear in slightly different guise. Their proponents seem to spend their every waking hour trying to alert an unsuspecting public to their own paranoia. While we believe it's healthy to have some skepticism (andBlack Helicopters!!!!  certainly, there are cases of deceit bordering on a conspiracy ala Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook!"), the concept of an over-arching world domination conspiracy (particularly one which is several hundred years old yet has still not succeeded in its goals) is - by all rational indicators - totally foolish. 

Combine the supposed 'secrecy' of three centuries of Masonry (and be sure to ignore the hundreds of exposes and about a hundred thousand books on the subject), toss in ONE supposed murder (180 years ago? With 'facts' still unproven despite exhaustive investigation....), stir in some "bloody oaths" along with some secret symbols and PRESTO: you've got yourself a Masonic conspiracy.

Because those who are not Masons see a numerical degree system (4-33 degrees) within one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry, they conclude (despite protests of Masons to the contrary) that the higher the degree, the more important in 'rank' that Mason is. Truth doesn't fit with their theory that only 'high-ranking Masons' know about these world-domination plans and the simple explanation that no Freemason is 'higher' than another is totally discarded. (Check out our page showing that 33rds Rule!)

When you add these things together with the other 'shadowy' groups (like the Bildeburgers, CIA, Trilateral Commission, OTO, and any others you might think of), it's so very easy to create - THE CONSPIRACY!!!

An organization which challenges populist conspiracism, Private Eye, has said "In the best of times, conspiracism is a pointless diversion of focus and waste of energy. Conspiracism promotes scapegoating as a way of thinking; and since scapegoating in the US is rooted in racism, anti-Semitism, ethnocentrism, and xenophobia, conspiracism promotes bigotry. In periods of social or economic crisis, populist conspiracism facilitates the spread of fascist and para-fascist social movements because they too rely on demagogic scapegoating and conspiracist theories as an organizing tool."

But regrettably, we cannot prove to you that there is no Masonic conspiracy. The simple yet oft-overlooked fact is that there's no way to prove a negative. Using common sense, however, how likely does it seem that a group of men who have for decades devoted themselves to the ideals of friendship and fraternity would suddenly become infused with the desire for world domination?

We'd ask too: what are the credentials of those who are making these claims? Have they ever been on the 'inside' of anything - or are they people with hyperactive imaginations, using this to garner attention and/or sell things? 

During the 1960s, a group of people convinced that a Cold War holocaust and that the US might soon be overrun with Communist troops moved to "Sherwood Inn", a large former hotel in quiet Epsom, New Hampshire. There, on the side of the road, they had a ten foot high 'Trojan Horse' along with a mock cemetery containing crosses for each of the countries which had been 'killed' by Communism. They truly believed, it appeared, that there was a horrid conspiracy afoot and that the U.N. was going to somehow rule the world. They'd also readily sell you the books to convince you of it. In the early years of the 21st century, some city governments in the Western part of the US were passing resolutions banning the UN from 'their' town! Times change but the boogey-man mentality seems to go on forever.... 

And they're all happy to sell you books which usually point to the Freemasons as somehow involved in whatever fantasy-du-jour they're promoting.

Although we doubt that the Masons of Epsom whose meeting hall was barely two miles away gave them any notice, these folks persisted in their 'cause', branching out into areas like 'government intervention' (i.e., taking of a piece of property for a highway) and other matters. Like so many ill-conceived ideas though, history has passed them by. The U.N. exerts precious little power except for what moral authority they can muster from time to time, the building was sold to a new owner, and the little white crosses were removed a couple of years after the Berlin Wall fell and the evil specter of Communism was essentially gone. The Trojan horse remained for several years, the wood rotting in the harsh reality of New Hampshire weather. The dire warnings and predictions were for naught: they were wrong!

History is filled with such examples of conspiracy theorists and we need to only look at 1999 when there were daily raves from people about Bill Clinton going to establish martial law and the outspoken population rounded up and taken to prison camps. Remember it? Just another example of conspiracy theory run amok.

The conspiracy mind still exists, often - but certainly not always - that of the lonely, the psychotic, the attention-seeker, the easily persuaded....  Like those who built the wooden horse in Epsom, New Hampshire, in a couple of decades they too will be a forgotten footnote of history, shamed by the total foolishness which they espoused! Freemasonry notwithstanding, still survives!

Want to read a great 'Letter to the Editor' by New York Times Writer George Johnson? Clickhere for a humorous and realistic commentary.

In addition, here is an excellent story from the BBC outlining a number of conspiracies. Although Freemasonry isn't mentioned, you'll note that several of the theories mentioned (Hitler's paranoia, Drumont's ravings, etc.) all involved Freemasonry. Be sure to read it here.

Things are not always what they seem; most of us learn that as we get older. A healthy skepticism is fine but knowing with absolute certainty that there are monsters under the bed is something which should have been left behind in childhood.

And when someone has these extreme delusions of world-wide conspiracy which include the Masonic fraternity, it's all too easy to stop, listen, and perhaps even believe their tales, despite the tortured 'proof' riddled with lies, omission, and deceit!  Although they won't admit it, the paranoid and fearful are easy prey to accepting and transmitting hate and lies about Masonry.

While creating this site, we found an ostensible list of all of the "Elites" of the world including members of the Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bildeburgers, Rhodes Scholars, Yale University's Skull & Bones Society and, of course, those evil Masons! Out of the 329 persons listed, only 12 were identified as Masons - and three of those they claimed were Masons simply were not. So, in the final analysis, out of 329 "elites", they had only named NINE MASONS! Pretty impressive: less than 3% of the 'Elites' (.027% to be exact) and yet we Masons wield SO much power! Check out that 'power'  list right here.

Now the irony which we hope you'll appreciate is that anyone fearful of a great Masonic conspiracy would be well-advised to not let anyone know that they hold this terrible knowledge. After all, if the conspirators found out that they knew, one never knows what evil might befall them! Needless to say, this irony is lost on the Conspiracy Theorist who proudly parades their fanciful claims. Have any of them been 'done in' by the Great Masonic conspiracy? Not a one.... How COULD we let them get away with giving away these secrets? Why someone might catch on....

Have you wondered what the full story is behind things like Area 51, magnetic therapy, the Shroud of Turin, the 'Face on Mars', wheat circles, or whatever? RUN, don't walk, to the site for Skeptical Inquirer, the Magazine for Science and Reason (or here at Amazon). It's well worth the price! It gives you the facts! and goes well beyond the daily news in explaining those things that conspiracy theorists revel in. Check it out and you'll see....

It's very liberating to believe in Conspiracy Theories: it gives one the freedom to not take responsibility for their mistakes and failures in life and provides a convenient scapegoat to show that, whatever happens, "It's not my fault!"

If it isn't the New World Order it's the Bildeburgers and if it isn't them, it's the Jews and if it's not them, it's the CIA or the ADL, and if they're not the ones then it's the 'higher degree Masons' or something else. It's just GOT to be some conspiracy....

Curiously too, we find the claims that President George W. Bush knew of the 9-11 attack before it occurred. This - the President they had ridiculed both before and after for his blunders and ineptness - had somehow managed to mobilize secret forces around the world to kill thousands of his own citizens. Truly amazing. 

Don't miss the "Skeptic's Dictionary" with their description of and many links about the mother of all conspiracies: the Illuminati! And you might also want to visit our page listing famous non-Masons who've been alleged to have been members of the fraternity - because someone thought they were in 'cahoots' with some impropriety....

Elders of Zion

This "parchment document in Hebrew" has never existed! The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a fraudulent document which served as a pretext and rationale for anti-Semitism and for anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic propaganda in the first half of the 20th century. It still does in Islamic and Christian extremist circles which keep reprinting and distributing it.

It is, however, a 'codeword' for anti-Semitic behavior and action. Mention of "The Elders" and there is no other plausible explanation, save that of inciting ill-will and racist thoughts, words, and deeds.

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion purports to be the transactions of a series of 24 (in other versions, 27) meetings held in Basel, Switzerland, at the time of the first Zionist congress (1897). At that meeting, Jews and Freemasons (the old Judeo-Masonic saw) were said to have made plans to disrupt Christian civilization and create a world government (yes, that old saw too!) under their joint rule. Liberalism and socialism were to be the means of subverting Christendom; if subversion failed, all the capitals of Europe were to be sabotaged.

The so-called Protocols appeared for the very first time in Russia in 1903, in abbreviated form, as an article in the newspaper Znamia ("the Banner") and subsequently (1905) as an addendum to a religious tract by Serge Nilus, a Tsarist civil servant. They were translated into German, French, English, and other European languages and soon came to be a classic of anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic literature. In the United States, Henry Ford's private newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, often cited them as evidence of an alleged Jewish threat to the United States and the world.

The spurious character of the Protocols was first revealed in 1921 by Philip Graves of The Times (London), who demonstrated their striking resemblance to a satire on Napoleon III by the French lawyer Maurice Joly, published in 1864 and entitled Dialogue aux Enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu ("Dialogue in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu"). Subsequent investigation, particularly by the Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev, revealed that the Protocols were forgeries compounded by officials of the Russian secret police out of the satire of Joly, as well as out of a fantastic novel (Biarritz) by Hermann Goedsche (1868) and other sources.

You can read a full summary of this oft-perpetuated lie at Public Eye by simply inserting the word "Protocols" in their search engine. A more scholarly and also well-written dissertation on this particular matter is at the web page titled Freemasonry in Israel - The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Anti-Masonry and Anti-Semitism written by the Editor of The Israeli Freemason, Brother Leon Zeldis, FPS, 33rd. In addition, we STRONGLY encourage you to read "The Plot" by Will Eisner. There's a review here.

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Masonry are often closely linked. One Masonic scholar and educator, Roger Firestone, regularly would comment, "Scratch an anti-Mason and you'll find an anti-Semite."

Below Fritz ter Meer who managed for IG Farben and Bayer Indistrial giant company who made produced the gas used in the gas chambers Zyklon B, they produced the steel for the death camps and the rail road line, they produced the munitions, they produced chemicals, to kill over 100 million Jews and Freemasons  the Holcaust in Nazi Germany with his financiers the Rochschild family who have been well documented publicly for years as being the fianciers of both sides of most wars in the last 300 years as well as planning and financing the destructionof the World Trade Centre in New York known as 9/11 on the 11th September, 2001. Nicholas Rockefeller opened up to film maker Aaron Russo 11 months before the 9/11 attack on the World Trace centre stating

Arron Russo ended the relationship after being appauled about what he had learned from Nicholas Rockefeller about their group's plans and aims. Aaron Russo: " I got a call one day from Terry, a woman I knew and she said, 'would you like ot meet one of the Rockefellers'. I said, I'd love to and we (Nicholas Rockefeller) and I became good friends...and he (Nicholas Rockefeller) began to divolge a lot of things to me"
Nicholas Rockefeller 11 months before 9th September, 2001: " There's going to be an event Aaron, you are going to see, after that we are going to go into Afghanistan, so we can run oil pipelines from the Caspian Sea .... we are going into Iraq to take their oil .... and try and establish a base in the Middle East and we are going into Venesula to try and get rid of Medes.....you are going to see guys going into caves looking for people that they are never going to find ...."
Aaron Russo: " He's (Nicholas Rockefeller)... laughing about the fact you have a war on terrorism .... when there's no real enemy ... he's (Nicholas Rockefeller) talking about..
Nicholas Rockefeller: " By having this war on Terror you can never win it.. it is an internal war...so you can keep taking peoples liberties away..."
Aaron Russo: " I said howa re you going to convince people that this war in terror is real?"
Nicholas Rockefeller: " By the media....the media is going to convince people it's real ...I mean if you keep talking about thes ethings and keep saying it over and over again in the media...eventually everybody will beleive it..."
Aaron Russo: You greated the Federal Reserve in 1913 through lies... You created 9/11 which was another lie ... Then thorough 9/11 you are fighting a war on terror...another lie... then you also got into Iraq which was based on another lie and now your going to do Iran and it all one thing to another... What are you doing this for?
You have all the money in the world you could ever want..you have all the power ..
you are hurting people ..it's not a good thing...and he said
Nicholas Rockefeller: "Why do you care about the people for?
Take care of your family..." Aaron Russo: I said, what is the ultimate goal here?
Nicholas Rockefeller: " The ultimate goal is to get everybody in this world chipped with a FRID Chip....and have all the money on these chips...and everything will be on these chips and anyone who wants to protest what we do or violate what we want we just turn off their chip..."
" if you join with us...I will make sure you get a special code on your and your familly's chips so the authorities will not track you and leave you alone..."

Commentator: That's right micro chipped... in 2005 congress under the pretence of immigration control and the so called war on terrorism past the Real ID Act under which it is projected by May 2008 you will be required to carry around a personal ID which includes on it a scanable barcode with all you personal information. However this barcode is only an intermediatory step before the card is equiped with an RFID tracking module which will use radio frequencies to track your every move on the planet earth. If this sounds foreign to you please not that the RFID tracking chip is already in new American passports and the final step is the implimented chip. People have already been manipulated into accepting these chips being implanted into them

 

Wars manipulated & financed on both sides by the Rothschilds & Associates at great 
profit to them who ended up each time there was a war with most of country's Gold 
Reserve's in payment for munitions and weapons to U.S. industrial munitions and weaponry companies owned and financed by powerful Rothschild Banking Family using German Zionist Jewish American partners as fronts for them in the U.S constantly bankrupted Britain-USA-Germany etc.

The Second World War had bankrupted Britain
During the 1939–1942 period, the UK depleted much of its gold stock in purchases of munitions and weaponry on a "cash and carry" basis from U.S.Industrial munitions and weaponry companies owned and financed by powerful Rothschild Banking Family using German Zionist Jewish American partners as fronts for them in the U.S. One of those companies was Beyer (formerly IG Farben), which later became known as Beyer which also produced the gas chambers Zyklon B,  the steel, other chemicals  and the rail road line,  for the German Nazi Death Camps,  munitions, other chemicals, and all kinds of stuff. The president of Beyer (formerly IG Farben) Fritz ter Meer, the senior manager at IB Farben, was convicted of crimes against Humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes on 29th July, 1948. Although he co-operated with SS and the Final Solution, Fritz ter Meer was sentenced to 7 years only in War Criminal Prison, but only served about three years in prison
John Maynard Keynes, who had argued against such a gold standard, proposed to put the power to print money in the hands of the privately owned Bank of England.

1971, the U.S. government again printed more dollars (a 10% increase) and then sent them overseas, to pay for the nation's military spending and private investments. In the first six months of 1971, $22 billion dollars in assets left the U.S
Because of the excess printed dollars, and the negative U.S. trade balance, other nations began demanding fulfillment of America’s “promise to pay” - that is, the redemption of their dollars for gold. Switzerland redeemed $50 million of paper for gold in July.France, in particular, repeatedly made aggressive demands, and acquired $191 million in gold, further depleting the gold reserves of the U.S.[1] On 5 August 1971, Congress released a report recommending devaluation of the dollar, in an effort to protect the dollar against foreign price-gougers. Still, on 9 August 1971, as the dollar dropped in value against European currencies, Switzerland withdrew the Swiss franc from the Bretton Woods system.


During the 1939–1942 period, the UK depleted much of its gold stock in purchases of munitions and weaponry on a "cash and carry" basis from the U.S. and other nations.[citation needed] This depletion of the UK's reserve convinced Winston Churchill of the impracticality of returning to a pre-war style gold standard. To put it simply the war had bankrupted Britain. John Maynard Keynes, who had argued against such a gold standard, proposed to put the power to print money in the hands of the privately owned Bank of England. Keynes, in warning about the menaces of inflation, said "By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some". Quite possibly because of this, the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement established the International Monetary Fund and an international monetary system based on convertibility of the various national currencies into a U.S. dollar that was in turn convertible into gold. It also prevented countries from manipulating their currency's value to gain an edge in international trade.

To stabilize the economy and combat runaway inflation, on August 15, 1971, President Nixon imposed a 90-day wage and price freeze, a 10 percent import surcharge, and, most importantly, “closed the gold window”, ending convertibility between US dollars and gold. The President and fifteen advisors made that decision without consulting the members of the international monetary system, so the international community informally named it the Nixon shock. Given the importance of the announcement — and its impact upon foreign currencies — presidential advisors recalled that they spent more time deciding when to publicly announce the controversial plan, than they spent creating the plan.He was advised that the practical decision was to make an announcement before the stock markets opened on Monday (and just when Asian markets also were opening trading for the day). On August 15, 1971, that speech and the price-control plans proved very popular and raised the public's spirit. The President was credited with finally rescuing the American public from price-gougers, and from a foreign-caused exchange crisis.  By December 1971, the import surcharge was dropped, as part of a general revaluation of the major currencies, which thereafter were allowed 2.25% devaluations from the agreed exchange rate. By March 1976, the world’s major currencies were floating — in other words, the currency exchange rates no longer were governments' principal means of administering monetary policy.

 

Analysts of the post-2007 financial crisis, such as David McNally (2009)  cite the end of the Bretton Woods dollar-gold convertibility as the modern source of monetary volatility, and consequent unregulated financialization. That volatility necessitated the rise of risk-hedging financial instruments, such as derivatives (including Credit Default Swaps). Thus as the value of the dollar was no longer based on gold, it became based instead on projected future value. The US economy and its firms become financialized (dependent on interest-paying financial transactions) to accommodate and take advantage of the risk inherent in the future value of the dollar as the basis for present value. Further, financialized firms and investors gained profits from speculating on that risk. Especially after the 1997 East Asian overaccumulation crisis necessitated loosening credit in the US so that working-class Americans could prop up global demand, working-class debt was packaged by banks and hedge funds and sold to themselves (banks and hedge funds), as well as to pension funds, investors, and financialized corporations. During Alan Greenspan’s tenure as president of the Federal Reserve (1987-2005) alone, private and public debt in the US quadrupled to $43 trillion. When the bubble burst in 2007, capital fled the US. Private capital flows were reduced by $1.1 trillion in the third quarter of 2007. There remain continued problems with valuing assets in the US, especially given public and private debt, the unabated diminishment of American working class purchasing power, and ongoing military expenditure. 40 years after the Nixon Shock, analysts predict the rise of competition among currency blocs for greater control of financial markets and global monetary privileges.

Quite possibly because of this, the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement established the International Monetary Fund and an international monetary system based on convertibility of the various national currencies into a U.S. dollar that was in turn convertible into gold. It also prevented countries from manipulating their currency's value to gain an edge in international trade.

To stabilize the economy and combat runaway inflation, on August 15, 1971, President Nixon imposed a 90-day wage and price freeze, a 10 percent import surcharge, and, most importantly, “closed the gold window”, ending convertibility between US dollars and gold. The President and fifteen advisors made that decision without consulting the members of the international monetary system, so the international community informally named it the Nixon shock. Given the importance of the announcement — and its impact upon foreign currencies — presidential advisors recalled that they spent more time deciding when to publicly announce the controversial plan, than they spent creating the plan.He was advised that the practical decision was to make an announcement before the stock markets opened on Monday (and just when Asian markets also were opening trading for the day). On August 15, 1971, that speech and the price-control plans proved very popular and raised the public's spirit. The President was credited with finally rescuing the American public from price-gougers, and from a foreign-caused exchange crisis.  By December 1971, the import surcharge was dropped, as part of a general revaluation of the major currencies, which thereafter were allowed 2.25% devaluations from the agreed exchange rate. By March 1976, the world’s major currencies were floating — in other words, the currency exchange rates no longer were governments' principal means of administering monetary policy.

 

Analysts of the post-2007 financial crisis, such as David McNally (2009)  cite the end of the Bretton Woods dollar-gold convertibility as the modern source of monetary volatility, and consequent unregulated financialization. That volatility necessitated the rise of risk-hedging financial instruments, such as derivatives (including Credit Default Swaps). Thus as the value of the dollar was no longer based on gold, it became based instead on projected future value. The US economy and its firms become financialized (dependent on interest-paying financial transactions) to accommodate and take advantage of the risk inherent in the future value of the dollar as the basis for present value. Further, financialized firms and investors gained profits from speculating on that risk. Especially after the 1997 East Asian overaccumulation crisis necessitated loosening credit in the US so that working-class Americans could prop up global demand, working-class debt was packaged by banks and hedge funds and sold to themselves (banks and hedge funds), as well as to pension funds, investors, and financialized corporations. During Alan Greenspan’s tenure as president of the Federal Reserve (1987-2005) alone, private and public debt in the US quadrupled to $43 trillion. When the bubble burst in 2007, capital fled the US. Private capital flows were reduced by $1.1 trillion in the third quarter of 2007. There remain continued problems with valuing assets in the US, especially given public and private debt, the unabated diminishment of American working class purchasing power, and ongoing military expenditure. 40 years after the Nixon Shock, analysts predict the rise of competition among currency blocs for greater control of financial markets and global monetary privileges.

The people behind the new world order are the same people behind and that own all the mainstream media and you are not told what you not supposed to know and what they do not want you to know. The North American Union is the same concept as the European Union, as is the African Union ans the proposed Asian Union. The same people are behind all of them. When the time is right the North American Union, the European Union, the African Union, and the Asian Union will be merged together forming the final stages of a plan that these men in these secret societies and secret organisations with secret agenda's have been working on the for the last 6o years.

So the president of IG Farben Fritz ter Meer, the senior manager at IB Farben, was convicted of crimes against Humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes on 29th July, 1948. Although he co-operated with SS and the Final Solution, Fritz ter Meer was sentenced to 7 years only in War Criminal Prison, but only served about three years in prison, no more someone that bounces a business cheque for say $1,000 and is charged for fraud in the $1,000 bounced cheque for it not being honoured on presentation. Someone steals an apple can get 3 years in prison also, or if he or she stole the apple as a servant they can receive 7 years in prison, 
Now Fritz ter Meer is sort of an artistic fellow and he was the one responsible for the slogan that people saw as they entered Autswitz, usually for the last time, "Work Brings Freedom". Fritz ter Meer was a creative sort of fellow. Fritz ter Meer was responsible for the slogan that people saw as they entered Auschwitz-, usually for the last time,  " Work brings  Freedom....a creative sort of fellow.
You will notice that the institutions that Fritz ter Meer worked for an/or had shareholdings in as listed by Wikepedia are
So Fritz ter Meer was sitting in jail and he said "well, that didn't work..what else can we do?   I've got it food..he who controls food controls ....the world..."  Fritz ter Meer  got out of jail he went to his  UN buddies and said "Have I got an idea for you..if we take over food world wide..we have power world wide, and his UN buddies said.  "cool idea". So they created a Trade Commission. That's a very powerful set of words... A Trade Commission....called the Codex Alimentarius Commission
It is not a Public Health Commission..it is not a Consumer Protection Commission....it is a Trade Commission. Trade is about what? Money!!
Trade is about Business!! Trade is about Profit!! Well they said in 1962 we're going to work towards total, global implimentation of Codex Alimentarius on December 31st, 2009. Long Term.... and they set up a bunch of committees.. committees on fish and fishery...fats and oil... fruits and vegetables... ground nuts...nutritian  for special diatary uses and so on. There are currently about 27 Codex committees, they are regional organisations, there are task forces and so anf so on. So it's ahugh beaurocratic mostrosety.it's emence. Codex has promogated well over 4,000 guidelines, standards and regulations on everything...everything which can legally be put into your mouth, with the excpetion of Pharmaceuticals. they are not part of Codex. That is an importand point. Now Codex standards have no legal weight whatsoever. Zero. So who cares about them..their just standards...so we are talking about an industry setting regulation organisation, but if it has no legal standing .. who cares? Right!! Here's the history of Codex Alimentarius before 1962.
Please note here that Fritz ter Meer  was sentenced to seven years prison by the Nuremberg Trials in 1948 having been found guilty of crimes against humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes . After he was released in 1951 he became supervisory board chairman (Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender) of the Bayer AG. He officiialy retired as supervisory board chairman of Bayer AG in 1961 so he could behind the scene concentrate of working with his UN buddies on developing his idea of setting up a syatem that will control the whoole world's food supply under the code name Codex Alimentarius. It would not look good publicly for Fritz ter Meer  who was sentenced to only seven years prison by the Nuremberg Trials in 1948 having been found guilty of crimes against humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes, and only served about three years of his sentence because of his powerful UN buddies, to be seen to be publicly be involved with Codex Alimentarius.
The Bayer executive Fritz ter Meer, sentenced to seven years in prison by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, was made head of the supervisory board of Bayer in 1956, after his release.

Fritz ter Meer ( July 4 1884 – October 27 1967 ) was a German chemist. He was the son of Edmund ter Meer the founder of a chemical company that later became part of Bayer. Fritz ter Meer also worked for Bayer and later IG Farben. He was involved in the planning of Monowitz concentration camp, a satellite camp of KZ Auschwitz. He was sentenced to seven years prison by the Nuremberg Trials in 1948. After he was released in 1951 he became supervisory board chairman (Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender) of the Bayer AG. He retired in 1961. The Bayer company then became part of IG Farben, a conglomerate of German chemical industries that formed a part of the financial core of the German Nazi regime. IG Farben owned 42.5% of the company that manufactured Zyklon B, a chemical used in the gas chambers of Auschwitz and other extermination camps. During World War II, the company also extensively used slave labor in factories attached to large slave labor camps, notably the sub-camps of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp . When the Allies split IG Farben into several pieces after World War II for involvement in organized Nazi war crimes, Bayer re-appeared as an individual business. The Bayer executive Fritz ter Meer, sentenced to seven years in prison by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, was made head of the supervisory board of Bayer in 1956, after his release.

Major Interntaional Industrial Companies, Banking Groups, powerful banking and business families and media owners and controllers which include Bayer, IG Farben, The Rockerfeller Family, The Rothchild Family, Rupert Murdoch and his media companies News Corporation and News International, The Warburg Family, The Goldman Sachs Family, The Openhiemer Family, the Lehman Bros, Wieshaupt family, Pike Family ( Klu Klux Klan controllers )Kuhn, Loeb and Co, the Harrimans Family, The Schiff Family The Conrad Black, Fritz Teer Meer, have secretly played their part in helping to create the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 1963 and its mummy and daddy organisations the World Health Organisation (WHO)and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Namtions (FAO)  as world wide bodies rules and regulations that can override an individual country's rules and regulations  on food, nutrients, minerals and herbs consumer protection code labelling protection.  scam to mass murder over 3 million people on planet earth through various methods including starvation of nutrients in their food and increasing levels of terrifyingly dangerous poisoness pesticides and bovine growth hormones in all types of food including fruit vegetables, seeds, net, fish, pountry, lamb, pig, cows, etc. to completely control all food production, coding, labelling, distribution etc. They all use e MKL Mind Conrol Program through their Illuminati Sectret Society which has since the Jewish and Freemason Holocaust in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, thschild ban family and partners have taken control of world Freemasonary to hlep sellect people to become involved in their MKL Mind progam to become leaders of Goverments, head Judges and other powerful organisations, as well and traing people to commit criminal acts such as murder by training assassins through the MKL Mind Program like Mark Chapmans who murdred John Lennon by brain washing them that God and/or Satan want them to to such evil acts. They then just get locked up in a comfortable mental assylum like Mark Chapman has. These people decided that they had to have John Lennon murdered because John Lennon was the one person who had the people power to warn  and convince billions of people that what these people are doing is evil in the way they are trying to create a New World Order with one leader, one government, one army one bank, one controller of all energy resources, one controller of all food production, supply and regulation.

Wars manipulated & financed on both sides by the Rothschilds & Associates at great

constantly bankrupted Britain-USA-Germany etc.

The Second World War had bankrupted Britain
During the 1939–1942 period, the UK depleted much of its gold stock in purchases of munitions and weaponry on a "cash and carry" basis from U.S.Industrial munitions and weaponry companies owned and financed by powerful Rothschild Banking Family using German Zionist Jewish American partners as fronts for them in the U.S. One of those companies was Beyer (formerly IG Farben), which later became known as Beyer which also produced the gas chambers Zyklon B,  the steel, other chemicals  and the rail road line,  for the German Nazi Death Camps,  munitions, other chemicals, and all kinds of stuff. The president of Beyer (formerly IG Farben) Fritz ter Meer, the senior manager at IB Farben, was convicted of crimes against Humanity on the basis of mass murder, slavery and other crimes on 29th July, 1948. Although he co-operated with SS and the Final Solution, Fritz ter Meer was sentenced to 7 years only in War Criminal Prison, but only served about three years in prison
John Maynard Keynes, who had argued against such a gold standard, proposed to put the power to print money in the hands of the privately owned Bank of England.

1971, the U.S. government again printed more dollars (a 10% increase) and then sent them overseas, to pay for the nation's military spending and private investments. In the first six months of 1971, $22 billion dollars in assets left the U.S
Because of the excess printed dollars, and the negative U.S. trade balance, other nations began demanding fulfillment of America’s “promise to pay” - that is, the redemption of their dollars for gold. Switzerland redeemed $50 million of paper for gold in July.France, in particular, repeatedly made aggressive demands, and acquired $191 million in gold, further depleting the gold reserves of the U.S.[1] On 5 August 1971, Congress released a report recommending devaluation of the dollar, in an effort to protect the dollar against foreign price-gougers. Still, on 9 August 1971, as the dollar dropped in value against European currencies, Switzerland withdrew the Swiss franc from the Bretton Woods system

The British Prime Minister Lloyd George claimed, in 1909, that Lord Nathan Rothschild was the most powerful man in Britain.  
By the end of the century, the family owned, or had built, at the lowest estimates, over 41 palaces, of a scale and luxury perhaps unparalleled even by the richest Royal families. In 1816, four of the brothers were each elevated to the hereditary nobility by Austrian EmperorFrancis I; Nathan was elevated in 1818. All of them were granted the Austrian title of baron orFreiherr on 29 September 1822. As such, some members of the family used "de" or "von" Rothschild to acknowledge the grant of nobility. In 1885, Nathan Mayer Rothschild II (1840–1915) of the London branch of the family, was granted the hereditary peerage title Baron Rothschild in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.Many Rothschilds were and are supporters of the State of Israel, although other members of the family opposed the creation of the state. Lord Victor Rothschild was against granting asylum or even help to Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. However, Baron Edmond James de Rothschild was a patron of the first settlement in Palestine atRishon-LeZion, and bought from Ottoman landlords many parts of the land which now makes up present-day Israel. In 1917 Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild was the addressee of the Balfour Declaration, which committed the British government to the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.

1848: Karl Marx, an Ashkenazi Jew, publishes, "The Communist Manifesto."  Interestingly at the same time as he is working on this, Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University was writing the antithesis which would form the basis for Freidrich Wilhelm Nietzsche's,  "Nietzscheanism."  This Nietzecheanism was later developed into Fascism and then into Nazism and was used to forment the first and second world wars.

Marx, Ritter, and Nietzsche were all funded and under the instruction of the Rothschilds.  The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger factions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other, and particularly, to destroy all political and religious institutions.  The same plan put forward by Weishaupt in 1776.

1776:  Adam Weishaupt officially completes his organisation of the Illuminati on May 1 of this year.  The purpose of the Illuminati is to divide the goyim (all non-Jews) through political, economic, social, and religious means.  The opposing sides were to be armed and incidents were to be provided in order for them to:  fight amongst themselves; destroy national governments; destroy religious institutions; and eventually destroy each other.

Weishaupt soon infiltrates the Continental Order of Freemasons with this Illuminati doctrine and establishes lodges of the Grand Orient to be their secret headquarters.  This was all under the orders and finance of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and the concept has spread and is followed within Masonic Lodges worldwide to the present day.

Weishaupt also recruits 2,000 paid followers including the most intelligent men in the field of arts and letters, education, science, finance,and industry.  They were instructed to follow the following methods in order to control people.

1)  Use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of men already in high places, in the various levels of all governments and other fields of endeavour. Once influential persons had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and fiscal harm, even death to themselves and loved members of their families.
2)  The faculties of colleges and universities were to cultivate students possessing exceptional mental ability belonging to well-bred families with international leanings, and recommend them for special training in internationalism, or rather the notion that only a one-world government can put an end to recurring wars and strife.  Such training was to be provided by granting scholarships to those selected by the Illuminati.

3)  All influential people trapped into coming under the control of the Illuminati, plus the students who had been specially educated and trained, were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of all governments as experts and specialists.  This was so they would advise the top executives to adopt policies which would in the long-run serve the secret plans of the Illuminati one-world conspiracy and bring about the destruction of the governments and religions they were elected or appointed to serve.

4)  To obtain absolute-control of the press, at that time the only mass-communications media which distributed information to the public, so that all news and information could be slanted in order to make the masses believe that a one-world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems.

1913: On March 4, Woodrow Wilson is elected the 28th President of the United States.  Shortly after he is inaugurated, he is visited in the White House by Ashkenazi Jew, Samuel Untermyer, of law firm, Guggenheim, Untermyer, and Marshall, who tries to blackmail him for the sum of $40,000 in relation to an affair Wilson had whilst he was a professor at Princeton University, with a fellow professor's wife.

President Wilson does not have the money, so Untermyer volunteers to pay the $40,000 out of his own pocket to the woman Wilson had had the affair with, on the condition that Wilson promise to appoint to the first vacancy on the United States Supreme Court a nominee to be recommended to President Wilson by Untermyer.  Wilson agrees to this.

Jacob Schiff sets up the Anti Defamation League (ADL) in the United States.  This organisation is formed to slander anyone who questions or challenges the Rothschild global conspiracy as, "anti-semitic."

Strangely enough, the same year that they do this they also set up their last and current central bank in America, the Federal Reserve. Congressman Charles Lindbergh stated following the passing of the Federal Reserve Act on December 23,

    "The Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this Bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized.......The greatest crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."

It is important to note that the Federal Reserve is a private company, it is neither Federal nor does it have any Reserve. It is conservatively estimated that profits exceed $150 billion per year and the Federal Reserve has never once in its history published accounts.

Developing circumstances soon allowed the Rothschilds to formulate a plan which would guarantee them the financial control of Europe, and soon the world. It began with taking advantage of the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo, which was fought at La-Belle-Alliance, seven miles south of Waterloo, which is a suburb of Brussels, Belgium. Early in the battle, Napoleon appeared to be winning, and the first secret military report to London communicated that fact. However, upon reinforcements from the Prussians, under Gebhard Blucher, the tide turned in favor of Wellington. On Sunday, June 18, 1815, Rothworth, a courier of Nathan Rothschild, head of the London branch of the family, was on the battlefield, and upon seeing that Napoleon was being beaten, went by horse to Brussels, then to Ostende, and for 2,000 francs, got a sailor to get him to England across stormy seas. When Nathan Rothschild received the news on June 20, he informed the government, who did not believe him. So, with everyone believing Wellington to be defeated, Rothschild immediately began to sell all of his stock on the English Stock Market. Everyone else followed his lead, and also began selling, causing stocks to plummet to practically nothing. At the last minute, his agents secretly began buying up the stocks at rock-bottom prices. On June 21, at 11 PM, Wellington's envoy, Major Henry Percy showed up at the War Office with his report that Napoleon had been crushed in a bitter eight hour battle, losing a third of his men. This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British economy, and forced England to set up a new Bank of England, which Nathan Rothschild controlled.

WFMH: World Federation of Mental Health

T4: This is the name and number of a street in Berlin, Tiergartenstrasse 4, where the Working Association of Sanitariums and Caretaking Facilities of the Republic (Reichsarbeitgemeinschaft Heil-und Pflegeanstalten) was located. The organization’s sole purpose was to gather and kill “inferiors.” T4 was, in fact, the nerve center of the extermination campaign and was not just the forerunner of the ensuing mass extermination of the Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other human beings “unworthy of life.” T4 was actually the organizer, education center and spiritual and administrative focal point that would continue in its criminal activity for another six years.

Questionnaires from state and private sanitariums and caretaking institutes poured into the T4 euthanasia headquarters. Consultants then marked the form: those who were to be killed had a red “+” sign, and those allowed to live were marked with a blue “-” sign.

They “did no examinations, had no access to medical histories, and made their decision solely on the basis of the questionnaire.” However, Jewish inmates did not have to fit the normal criteria used for normal medical killing.

By August 1941, T4 had already reached its original quota of 70,000 persons euthanized. Indeed, it had exceeded its quota–by 273 persons.

The psychiatrists involved in the Nazi killing machine were needed for their leadership skills and chosen for their closeness to the Nazi regime, their high recognition in the profession and their sympathy for euthanasia, or at the very least a radical approach to eugenics.

ERNST RÜDIN: PRESIDENT OF GSPN FROM 1935 TO 1945

ernst rudin Nazi “T4? Psychiatrists – Some were Executed, Some Suicided, Some Escaped JusticeIn 1916, Ernst Rüdin was appointed Professor of Psychiatry of the Department of Genealogy of the German Research Institute for Psychiatry in Munich and in 1919 became its director. In 1933, he was promoted within the Third Reich to Commissioner of the German Society for Racial Hygiene and named Chairman of the Advisory Board of experts on population and racial politics.

Besides being a racial hygienist and the principal drafter of the Sterilization Act he was also the co-author of the treatise which was relied upon as the Nazi’s justification for the Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Children. His co-author, Falk Ruttke, was also the author of the Nuremberg Race Act, which legalized the persecution of Jews.

It is difficult to overstate Rüdin’s influence on the Third Reich’s atrocities. He was able to become a significant source of legitimization for the Nazi regime’s racial policies and through him, psychiatry enjoyed what amounted to carte blanche to research, develop and even practice its most deadly and inhumane theories and methods.

In 1937, he joined the Nazi Party and two years later was awarded the Goethe Medal for Art and Science by Adolf Hitler himself. Five years later, the Fuhrer personally honored Rüdin with a bronze medal embossed with a swastika and with the honorary title of “Pioneer of Racial Hygiene.”

In 1943, he wrote of Hitler, extolling him and the Regime for their “decisive…path-breaking step toward making racial hygiene a fact among the German people…and inhibiting the propagation of the congenitally ill and inferior.” He praised the laws for “preventing the further penetration of the German gene pool with Jewish blood,” and the SS for “its ultimate goal, the creation of a special group of medically superior and healthy people of the German Nordic type.”

Rüdin was removed from his directorship in November of 1945 by the American military government, but he was never brought to trial. He claimed to be “only a nominal member” of the Nazis and with that managed to be completely exonerated. He is one of the most outrageous examples of psychiatrists who neither fled nor hid. They just acted as if nothing had happened.

Escaped Justice:

Leonardo Conti, State Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Member of the SS:

In July, 1939, Hitler appointed Conti responsible for administering the euthanasia program. On October 9, 1939, an edict was issued requiring all institutions throughout the Third Reich to categorize all of their patients and inmates according to stated criteria. Conti required reports to be compiled and submitted on all those in care or custody who suffered from a variety of stated symptoms, among them: schizophrenia, epilepsy, senility, paralytic diseases, and feeble-mindedness. Also to be reported were all persons who had been imprisoned for five years or more or who were “criminal” or “not of German or related species’ blood.”

In 1940, Conti personally administered lethal injections to four to six patients who “died only slowly” and some had to be injected a second time. Consequently, the gas chambers were considered a better killing alternative.

Suicide:

Conti, who remained Minister of Health until 1945, committed suicide, avoiding justice.

Werner Heyde: T4 DIRECTOR, Member of the Nazi Party and Gestapo

In 1933, Heyde was one of the chief organizers of the euthanasia program. He released a mental patient, Theodor Eicke, a hardened convicted felon, as no longer dangerous. Later, Eicke became the first commandant of Dachau and in 1934 was promoted to Inspector General and Chief of all concentration camps. By 1936, Eicke had become the leader of the SS “Deathhead” units of which Heyde was also a member.

Heyde joined the Nazi party in 1933, then joined and became an advisor to the Gestapo. By 1935 had become an Associate Judge of the Court for the Elimination of Hereditary Disease which arbitrated sterilization requests. On July 1, 1936, Heyde was appointed to establish and direct “the psychiatric-neurological and genetic surveillance of the concentration camps.” In January, 1940, he oversaw the first killings which used carbon monoxide gas. Eighteen to twenty naked men were led into the “shower room” by nursing staff. The door was shut behind them–they collapsed within one minute. After another five minutes the room was aired. SS personnel took the dead on special stretchers to the crematorium furnaces. The victims did not undergo any medical examination to determine if they were dead before they were cremated. The apparent “success” of this test killing hastened the production of killing facilities.

Later Heyde moved to Berlin to become T4's medical director and to supervise it’s consulting staff of approximately 30 physicians, most of whom were psychiatrists.

Heyde was eventually arrested in 1947 by the allies but fled and managed to resume his work as a psychiatrist under the alias of “Dr. Sawade.” He became active as a psychiatric consultant in the Courts of the Schleswig-Holstein district of Germany, “even though numerous professors, the Director of the Social Court, the Chief Justice of the provincial Social Court, a district court counselor, a Social Court counselor, two presidents of the Senate and even a federal judge all knew that Professor Heyde was also Dr. Sawade.”

Suicide:

Heyde was re-arrested but in 1961 committed suicide in his cell, before his trial could begin.

imagesCA22LNRP Nazi “T4? Psychiatrists – Some were Executed, Some Suicided, Some Escaped JusticeProfessor Paul Nitsche: Head of T4.

Starting in April of 1941, eminent physicians and psychiatrists began to visit the concentration camps, among them Dr. Werner Heyde and Nitsche, the leading T4 consultants. Nitsche, who replaced Heyde as head of the T4, later admitted that “the killing… went along the exact same lines and with the same registration forms as in the insane asylums.”

He was also editor of the German Journal for Mental Hygiene and was director of various state hospitals.

Executed: Ordered to be executed by judges in the Nuremberg Trials, he was sent to the guillotine on March 25, 1948, in Dresden.

Max de Crinis: T4 Nazi psychiatrist, MEMBER OF THE SS.

An Austrian, he practiced in Germany and joined the Nazi Party in 1931. He was considered “the most outspoken and influential Nazi” within German psychiatry and was a psychiatric consultant at the highest level of the regime. He was thought to have provided Hitler with the wording for the original “euthanasia” decree.

By 1936, he was active in the SS and its Race and Settlement Office; he became medical director of the Ministry of Education in 1941. He was also Committee Member of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (which became the Max Planck Institute involved in psychiatric research) and was a Director of the European League for Mental Hygiene.

Suicide:

While fleeing from the authorities and justice, on May 1, 1945, De Crinis killed himself in the prescribed Nazi manner, by swallowing potassium cyanide but not before he also caused the deaths of his family in the same way.

IMFRIED EBERL: T4 Nazi Psychiatrist, MEMBER OF THE NAZI PARTY

Eberl served as a deputy to Dr. Werner Heyde in supervising the false causes of death and to establish policies for maintaining subterfuge for T4.

An Austrian, he joined the Nazi Party when he was 21-years-old. At 29, he was one of the first to be shown how the poison gas killing methodology worked. In addition to serving in the inner circle of psychiatric experts, he was given special authority to enter various psychiatric institutions to investigate their attitudes towards, and willingness to work in the euthanasia killing program.

At age 32, he went on to become commandant of the notorious death camp, Treblinka, where, with his T4 experience, he was able to construct the gassing apparatus for killing inmates.

He also organized the transporting of Jewish patients to his killing institution at Brandenburg. In August, 1942 alone, he had 215,000 Jews killed (compared to 18,000 patients killed in just over 18 months when he was a T4 expert).

Escaped Justice:
 

Carl Schneider, T4 psychiatrist, MEMBER OF THE NAZI PARTY

An Austrian, he became director of the University Clinic in Heidelberg. He joined the Nazi Party in 1932 and became a “leader of German psychiatry,” who “took on the mission of preaching National Socialism and offering his own enlightened program of work therapy …”

“Work therapy,” sterilization and medical killing were his proffered ways of “helping” patients. He obtained large sums of money for a research institute where he initiated some of his work, using the brains from the euthanasia program.

At the Rhenish Eichberg Institute in the Rhinegau, which conducted one of the euthanasia programs, human experiments with medical drugs were performed on behalf of I. G. Farben, the chemical manufacturer, which provided carbon monoxide for the gas chambers of concentration camps and the pesticide Zyklon B for experiments on Soviet prisoners of war. At this institute, both children and adults were killed on a regular basis until the end of the war. An argument over the brains of these victims erupted between the Eichberg and Heidelberg research departments. Professor Schneider in Heidelberg demanded part of the so-called “material” for his own research.

Executed:

Schneider was a member of the T4 team. He was executed as a result of the Nuremberg Trials.

Professor Hans Heinze: T4 Nazi psychiatrist; headed the pediatric department of a killing Institute, Laender.

Heinze gained prominence in the Reich’s “Committee for the Scientific Registration of Hereditary and Inherent Sufferings,” the “cover organization for the murder of handicapped children and youth.” The committee was affiliated with T4. The only difference was that it was responsible for child euthanasia.

In 1931, while Dr. Heinze was a physician at the children’s outpatient department at Leipzig, he collaborated with Paul Schroder on a book called Child Personalities and Their Abnormalities. In the first paragraph of the introduction, they define what they mean by the word “degenerate”: It “is not equal to ‘sick’. ‘Degenerate’ also includes the oversized or undersized person, the athlete, the highly talented, the genius. A degenerate in the psychological area is someone who…deviates above and below the average.”

Heinze was dedicated to defining, segregating and exterminating certain classes of people, following the dictates of the state economy, Nazi doctrine and the precepts of “racial hygiene psychiatry.”

In 1939, Heinze, a director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (see Max Planck Institute), was bestowed with the unusual honor of a seat on its Board of Trustees of their Brain Research Institute, and it is extremely likely that a child-killing department was installed there.

By 1940, Leander Institute at Brandenburg-Gorden, where Heize was head of its pediatric department, was functioning as a halfway house for T4 “supply transports.” Some of the sanitarium’s children were sent to the gas chambers of the former prison at Brandenburg, after which their corpses were dissected for psychiatric research.

The institution was also used as training center for other physicians in charge of killing facilities and was referred to as the “Reich’s Schooling Station.”

Sentenced to Hard Labor: Then Mentally Unfit to Stand Trial

Heinze was tried and convicted in 1946 by a Russian military tribunal which sentenced him to seven years’ hard labor. He served his term in various prisons until 1952, whereupon he returned to Germany, and became an assistant physician at a sanitarium near Munster in Westphalia.

In 1962, a preliminary inquiry into Heinze’s wartime activities was begun, but several medical opinions certified him as unfit to be questioned and unable to understand the proceedings. In 1967, he was deemed unfit to stand trial because he was a “mental wreck.”

When he died, nearly two decades later, the following obituary appeared: “At the age of 87, the former director of our department for child and adolescent psychiatry died on February 4, 1983…We shall honor his memory”–signed by The Board of Directors and the Director of Human Resources of the Neiders state hospital of Lower Saxony, Wunstdorf.

DR. VALENTIN FALTLHAUSER, T4 EXPERT

Director of Kaufbeuren psychiatric hospital and its Child Euthanasia program. Faltlhauser passed around a menu at the facility: “totally fat free,” it consisted of potatoes, yellow turnips, and cabbage cooked in water. “The effect,” he claimed, “should be a slow death, which would ensue in about three months.”

On May 8, 1945, the war ended in Germany. In the extermination institutes, they either kept on killing, or let the patients starve to death. As late as May 29, 1945, a four-year-old feeble-minded boy was murdered in Kaufbeuren, and on July 2, 1945, a physician who was junior to the director, hanged himself–Only 12 hours earlier, the last adult patient had died.

Escaped Justice:

Berthold Kihn of Jena: T4 psychiatrist: Kihn filled out “questionnaires” and personally supervised the selection of “patients” in various institutions. Erich Straub: He was a T4 consultant. Dr. Ernst Wentzler: One of the three chief experts of the child euthanasia Reich Committee.
 

RESEARCHERS

Dr. Hermann Pfannmüller of Eglfing-Haar (camp):

Dr. Pfannmüller joined the Nazi party in May, 1933. He believed strongly in the concept of “life devoid of value,” which demanded the eliminated of what he called “the pitiful patient” who showed “the semblance of being of a human existence.”

Pfannmüller was the director of the institution, Eglfing-Haar, for children. He developed a special starvation diet as a method of killing “useless eaters,” especially children. In 1939, Pfannmüller explained to visiting psychology students the euthanasia or mercy killing that was being conducted–some 25 children, aged between one and five were being starved to death. Pfannmuller lifted up one emaciated child who was near death and told the students that food was withdrawn gradually, not all
at once. The motto was: “We give them no fat, then they go on their own.”

In 1943, he established two more “starvation houses,” this time for an adult population. Some 444 patients died directly or indirectly (contracting pneumonia while malnutritioned) from his diet.

In a report on an interview with him for the Nuremberg Trials, Pfannmüller was described as “a brutal fellow who actually enjoyed to dispatch patients to their death…[was] mostly directly responsible” for the killings at the Eglfing-Haar asylum.

Pfannmuller testified at the Nuremberg trials, “…euthanasia and the work of the National Board had, in my view, nothing to do with National Socialism. They were just as legal as the regulations for prevention of transmission of hereditary diseases and infection in marriage. These laws were passed during the National Socialist Regime. But the ideas from which they arose are centuries old.”

Found Mentally Unfit to Stand Trial:

In 1948, he was declared unfit to stand trial. The next year he was sentenced to six years jail.

Julius Hallervorden:

Hallervorden was a brain specialist who was Chairman of the Special Pathology Section of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute; he supported the autopsy of euthanized children for research purposes and dissected their brains himself. [The institute's director was psychiatrist Hans Heinze who would later become a T4 expert.]

He also conducted research on 500 brains of Jewish vitims from the killing centers of the mentally ill. He ordered Nazi physicians to send him the brains from concentration camps, stating: “…I heard that they would do it and so I went there and said to them, ‘Look here, boys, if you kill the people anyway, then at least remove the brains so that the material can be used. They asked me how many I could examine and I told them, ‘An unlimited amount, the more the merrier’…There was wonderful material among these brains, great mental illnesses, deformities and early childhood illnesses. Of course, I accepted the brains. Where they came from and how they got there was of no real interest to me.”

Escaped Justice

Hallervorden and his boss, Hugo Spatz, fled to Giessen after the war but later ran the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt until 1957. The fate of the “Hallervorden Collection” was not sealed until 1990. The Max Planck Institute finally admitted that the “historical material” stored in its basement was the harvest of Nazi euthanasia. The “material” was eventually given a burial at a Munich cemetery.
 

REWARDED WITH PRESIDENTIAL STATUS IN PSYCHIATRY

Then there were the T4 consultants who, despite their involvement in this murder machine, were appointed presidents of the German Society of Psychiatrists and Neurologists after the war.

WERNER VILLINGER: T4 CONSULTANT, Member of the Nazi Party, President of the GSPN, 1952-54.

[President of the German Association for Adolescent Psychiatry, 1952-1961.]

From 1927, Villinger was a follower of Fritz Lenz, a leading advocate of the racial hygiene movement, and whose published works were credited with influencing Hitler. Between 1934 and 1938, Villinger was a member of Germany’s criminal-biological Society, whose chairmen included Ernst Rüdin and Lenz.

On May 1, 1937, while serving as an associate judge of the High Court for Genetic Health in Hamm and Breslau, Villinger joined the Nazi party. That was a year and a half after the time that official records show that 2,675 notifications for sterilization were reported, 600 applications for sterilization were filed and 460 sterilizations were actually performed all under Villinger’s direction. Villinger also relied upon the guidelines of the 1933 Sterilization Act to justify sterilizing what he deemed to be “asocials.” As a military district psychiatrist in 1941, Villinger is listed in official Nazi records as a T4 consultant and thus was involved in the euthanasia program.

According to T4 staff member Meumann, “the registration forms that were processed by [Villinger] came back to us with considerable delays.” He eventually became a critic of euthanasia, preferring compulsory sterilization.

After the war in 1946, he went on to become a Professor and Director of the psychiatric clinic at the University of Marburg and became president of the GSPN in 1952. The Hamburg Medical Faculty described Villinger after 1945 as follows: “Above all as the leading adolescent psychiatrist in the country, it has seldom been mentioned that Villinger is also one of the most active advocates for the application and broad minded interpretation of the Sterilization Act and as a consultant he contributed also to adult euthanasia.”

In 1953, he was awarded the “Cross of the Order of Merit” and later denied his activities as a T4 consultant.

Escaped Justice:

Dr. Friedrich Mauz, T4 Consultant, President GSPN 1957-1958.

In 1928, Mauz was a university lecturer and a professor of psychiatry at Koenigsberg from 1939-1945, holding the same position at Münster beginning 1953.

Mauz was intimately involved in the development of the law for “ending the suffering” of the incurably ill. The final session of the planning of this law took place in August, 1940. The final draft no longer exists, but is documented by a collection of several statements by the participants. The physicians involved were mostly concerned with finding an incontrovertible legal basis for euthanasia. Hitler rejected the draft and left it in a drawer. In the end, then, the psychiatric murders continued unhindered and outside of the law.

Mauz, a T4 consultant, was revered by his peers after the war. According to the “Munsterische Zeitung” on May 17, 1980, “The medical faculty of the University of Munster commemorates today their member of long-standing and Director of the University Clinic, Prof. Dr. Robert Friedrich Mauz…He has helped, as hardly any other psychiatrist of his generation has, to shape the thoughts and actions of German medicine…(Let us) then pay tribute to the special accomplishments of Friedrich Mauz.”

Years later, in Mauz’s obituary, psychiatrist Rainer Tolle refers to Mauz’s tenure as a T4 consultant as follows: “In 1932, Mauz and Kretschmer were called to Bern. If this plan had not fallen apart, Mauz might have been spared a few troubles during the following years and the war, which also left a stain on his record.”

Escaped Justice:

In 1948, he was an official delegate to the Third International Congress of Mental Hygiene in London which formed the WFMH.

Friedrich Panse: T4 Nazi psychiatrist; PRESIDENT OF THE GSNP: 1965 – 1966

Dr. Panse was also a military district psychiatrist. Before that, however, he was the assistant medical director at the Wittenauer
Heilstatten and an associate judge at the High and Common Courts for Freedom from Hereditary Diseases, collaborating in sterilization matters with Dr. Heyde, among others. In 1935, Panse, along with Kurt Pohlisch, created the Rhenish Provincial Institute for Psychiatric and Neurological Genetics.” In 1940, he became a T4 consultant.

Panse was admitted into the GSPN’s predecessor group, GSNP, in 1937, the same year he was lecturering on racial hygiene at the University of Bonn.

The propaganda film about euthanasia that was produced by the Reich was based on an idea by Panse. In 1942, the treatment and cure of war-neurotics, using a form of electroshock, was named after him and called “pansen.” It involved very painful stimulations of electrical currents applied to large sections of the skin using a roller. War neurotics in Panse’s mind, however, meant that they had “psychopathy with the purpose of surreptitiously obtaining pensions and compensations.” In other words, Panse believed soldiers faked being traumatized by the war.

In 1943, he was present at a secret euthanasia conference attended by leading psychiatrists in Berlin in 1943.

Acquitted:

In 1947, he was acquitted of wartime collaboration with the Nazis; however, he was never even called upon to explain his actions as a psychiatrist or to account for his methodologies.

He continued to lecture after the war until 1967 at the Universities of Bonn and Dusseldorf . He died in 1973.

The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution

The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution

 By Henry Friedlander

The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution

Chapter One: The Setting

By Henry Friedlander

Nazi genocide did not take place in a vacuum. Genocide was the most radical method of excluding groups of human beings from the German National Community. The policy of exclusion followed and drew upon more than fifty years of scientific opposition to the equality of man. Since the turn of the century, the German elite – that is, the members of the educated professional classes – had increasingly accepted an ideology of human inequality. Geneticists, anthropologists, and psychiatrists advanced a theory of human heredity that  merged with the racist doctrine of ultra-nationalists to form a political ideology based on race. The Nazi movement both absorbed and advanced this ideology. After their assumption of power in 1933, the Nazi’s created the political framework that made it possible to translate this ideology of inequality into a policy of exclusion. At the same time, the German bureaucratic, professional and scientific elite provided  the legitimacy the regime needed for the smooth implementation of this policy.

 The growing importance of the biological sciences in the nineteenth century, following the discoveries of Charles Darwin, led most scientists to advance theories of human inequality as matters of scientific fact. In the middle of the century, a widely accepted theory maintained that there was a casual relationship between the size of the human brain and human intelligence. In 1861 the anthropologist Paul  Broca thus  asserted that “there is a remarkable relationship between the development of intelligence and the volume of the brain,” and he argued that studies based on this premise showed that “in general, the brain is larger in mature adults than in the elderly, in men than is womenm in eminent men than in men of mediocre talent, in superior races than in inferior races.”

  Belied in inequality coexisted with the principles of equality proclaimed by the American and French revolutionaries. Scientists, themselves products of their  time, constructed “rank-order or value-judgment hierarchies” that  placed human beings on a single scale of intelligence, thus incorporating popular  prejudices and theories. As proof they offered meaningless, but carefully compiled, correlations between the size of the brain and the presumed intelligence. But such scientific data, “no matter how numerically sophisticated, have recorded little more than social prejudice.” Popular prejudice accepted that males were more intelligent than females, and in 1879 Gustave Le Bon. The founder of social psychology . concurred: “In the most intelligent races, as among the Parisians, there are a large number of women whose brain s are closer in size to those of gorillas than to the most developed male brains. This  inferiority is so obvious that no one can contest it for a moment; only its degree is worth discussion.”

The Nazi doctors: medical killing and the psychology of genocide

 By Robert Jay Lifton


The Nazi doctors: medical killing and the psychology of genocide

 By Robert Jay Lifton

“A monumental achievement: as awesome account of the ultimate transgression of the Hippocratic Oath: a formidable contribution to Holocaust studies.”… Francine  Du Plessix Gray

To the victims of the Nazis;

To those who survived.

And to those who continue to struggle against the forces of mass murder and genocide

Fourteen years after the publication of this books, Nazi doctors continue to inhabit my mind. I remember then a unexceptional men whom had been part of the mst extreme killing project – the most extreme human degradation – in a highly murderous century, More than that, the overarching Nazi Principle they epitomized – the principle of killing to heal – has continued to reverberate all too frequently in more recent genocidal behavior  in various parts of the world.

 One thinks immediately of the “ethical cleansing” carried out by the Serbs in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990’s. Although it was on a smaller scale, there is much in this killing that resembled the Nazi Model. The similarity went beyond images of emaciated men in camps awaiting their deaths, beyond even the extensive testimonies of the slaughter and humiliation od members of the victimized groups (in this case systematic rape of Bosnian women, sometimes with family members forced to watch).

  The deeper similarilty lay in the combination of mystical ideology of ethnic nationalism with intense paramilitary brutality. Like that of the Nazis, the Serbian ideology was one of personal and collective revitalization: of overcoming perceived historical wounds going back to world wars of the twentieth century and even to the Turkish conquests of the fourteenth century. Those wounds could only be healed by annihilation of the designated victims. Also parallel to the Nazis has been the central role of Serb intellectuals. Indeed, the murderous ideology of the ethnic cleansing on behalf of a Greater Serbia emerged from the members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. Hence the Nazi-like division of  labour between professional killers and killing professionals.

Sweden reflects on Anna Lindh's death


Published: 11 Sep 08 10:52 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

On the fifth anniversary of the assassination of foreign minister Anna Lindh, Sweden is reflecting more on the legacy of her work in politics than the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.

Lindh’s name lives on in a number of foundations, research programmes, and awards.

“She’s very much alive in the party; at the same time there’s been a very long period of mourning,” Social Democratic Party Secretary Marita Ulvskog told the TT news agency.

“But we’re beginning to reach a point where what she said and did is being utilized.”

On the Social Democrats’ website it is possible to order the 'Palme-package', created in memory of assassinated Prime Minister Olof Palme. For the last year a Lindh-package has also been available.

The Lindh-package offers membership in the party, a book, a picture of Anna Lindh, a report from the annual Anna Lindh seminars, a newsletter, and the party’s international programme.

It’s meant to provide a portrait of the person and her career, tracking her development from the Social Democratic youth organization (SSU) in Enköping to the position of Deputy Mayor of Stockholm and high level ministerial posts. She was also regarded as an insprirational figure for younger politicians.

Neither Ulvskog nor the party's press secretary could say however whether there had been much demand for the package named after the woman who had been tipped to take over as party leader after Göran Persson.

Her memory is also carried on by the Anna Lindh Memorial Fund, which awards annual prizes for remarkable contributions to human rights. The Fund has also helped compile an archive of speeches and articles penned by the former foreign minister.

To coincide with the anniversary of her death, the Fund has organized a seminar focusing on the 2001 Macedonia crisis, where Lindh is considered to have played an important role in hindering the outbreak of a new Balkan War.

The politician's legacy is also evident in Alexandria in Egypt, where the Anna Lindh Foundation is based.

The foundation was set up after her death and has little to do with Lindh other than in name, according to retired ambassador Lars Bjarme.

"But the foundation works with something in which she was very interested: a dialogue between Europe and countries in the Middle East," he said.

Anna Lindh's care to be reviewed: agency

Published: 20 Oct 10 13:48 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation
Updated: 20 Oct 10 17:30 CET

Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) will review the care former foreign minister Anna Lindh received after she was stabbed in central Stockholm in September 2003.

"The National Board of Health and Welfare will probe the care of former foreign minister Anna Lindh," the board said in a statement.

It pointed out that it did not normally re-examine cases older than two years, but that it would make an exception due to the huge public interest in the case.

"The case is of great public interest and has to do with how care worked in a situation where the foreign minister was the victim of an attack," board general director Lars-Erik Holm said in the statement.

"I have turned to the other general directors of corresponding authorities in the Nordic countries to get their help in appointing experts," he added.

Stockholm's Karolinska University Hospital last month requested that the board analyse Lindh's treatment, saying it wanted an independent review after commercial broadcast TV4 charged in a news programme that she may have been saved with better care.

Hospital spokesman Klas Österman insisted at the time, "We have not seen any signs, then or now, to indicate that we made any mistakes."

Lindh was stabbed repeatedly in the arms, chest and abdomen by a man with a history of psychiatric problems as she shopped at the upmarket NK department store in Stockholm without a bodyguard on September 10th, 2003. She died of massive internal bleeding some 13 hours later in the early hours of September 11th.

The board's decision comes three days after the broadcast of TV4's "Cold Facts" (Kalla Fakta) programme on Lindh's treatment.

The half-hour show featured a detailed presentation of the treatment she received from the moment she arrived at the hospital, through an eight-hour operation during which she received up to 50 litres of blood, until she was pronounced dead at 5.29am on September 11th.

An unnamed Swedish expert, whose face was blurred onscreen, said the hospital could have used better methods to stop the minister's bleeding from the abdomen, notably by using the so-called "damage control" operation method.

The programme also interviewed Dr. Donald Trunkey, an expert trauma surgeon at Oregon's Health and Science University, who described the rush to operate Lindh without first slowing the bleeding "futile."

"In the United States, if somebody did that in my hospital, I would call [such an eight-hour operation] foolhardy. I mean, you are not going to win," he said, adding the lengthy operation may have worsend her condition.

"I would have classified her as a preventable death," he said.

Eva Franchell, who was shopping with Lindh when she was attacked, said she was pleased an investigation would be launched.

"It opens up old wounds, of course, but I feel the rumours that have been spread around have been very unpleasant. That is why I think it is good that this can all be ended," she told the TT news agency.

Lindh's killer Mijailo Mijailovic, now 32, is serving a life sentence for the murder.

The killing of the 46-year-old mother of two young boys sent a shock wave around Sweden, bringing back painful memories of the still-unsolved 1986 assassination of prime minister Olof Palme.

Hospital demands probe of Anna Lindh's care

Published: 29 Sep 10 12:39 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Karolinska University Hospital has requested an inquiry into the care it gave former foreign minister Anna Lindh after her fatal stabbing in September 2003.

The hospital wants Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to review the treatment Lindh received at the hospital after she was stabbed in a Stockholm department store.

Lindh died on the operating table at Karolinska's facilities in Solna, north of Stockolm.

The hospital has reviewed charts detailing Lindh's treatment and doesn't believe that any mistakes were made, but nevertheless has requested that the health board conduct an independent investigation.

The reason behind the request is a forthcoming television broadcast produced by Sweden's TV4 which, according to Karolinska, asserts that Lindh didn't receive proper care at the hospital.

"Because the episode has such great national and historic significance, it's important to prevent the spread of rumours surrounding this matter. We believe it's appropriate that the National Board of Health and Welfare carry out an investigation into the care of Anna Lindh," wrote Karolinska University Hospital in its petition, which arrived on Wednesday at the agency's regional oversight division in Stockholm.

Lindh was attacked and stabbed while shopping in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm around 4pm local time on September 10th, 2003.

She remained conscious following the attack, with initial reports indicating she had been cut in the arm and that she wasn't seriously injured.

She was taken to Karolinska, where she was placed on an operating table so doctors could attend to her wounds.

Lindh died at 5.29am the following morning following massive blood loss caused by internal bleeding.

The knife had sliced through a number of important blood vessels in her mid-section, including the portal vein and the aorta. Lindh's liver had also been damaged.

Two weeks later, on September 24th, 24-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was arrested for the stabbing. The Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for Lindh's murder on December 2nd, 2004.

Among the evidence cited during the trial were images from surveillance cameras in NK, as well as his DNA.

Karolinska Chief Medical Officer Stefan Engqvist said that the information, which the hospital attributes to the TV4 investigative news programme Kalla Fakta, is hard to address publicly, in part because he doesn't really know what the criticism is based on and in part because the hospital doesn't release information from Lindh's file.

"Our position becomes a bit awkward in this situation. We have tough regulations about confidentiality and laws on secrecy that we can't break," he told the TT news agency.

He said that Sweden's emergency trauma care has evolved since 2003, but that according to procedures commonly used at the time, the hospital reacted in the best possible way in the operating room and that everyone involved did everything they could to save the foreign minister's life.

"We've gone through all the documentation ourselves and haven't found anything wrong and nothing that would warrant a report according to Lex Maria," said Engqvist, referencing Sweden's Lex Maria laws, the informal name used to refer to regulations governing the reporting of injuries or incidents in the Swedish health care system.

"But we would also gladly have an independent investigation and for that we turn to the National Board of health and Welfare. We want to avoid the spreading of rumours."

Security beefed up for Sahlin due to threats

Published: 16 Aug 10 15:53 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

security" class="nodec">Security for Social Democratic leader Mona Sahlin has been tightened due to serious threats against her just over a month before elections, Swedish media reported on Monday.

According to the tabloid Expressen, security for the prime ministerial candidate has gradually increased after a "barrage of threatening emails and letters to Mona Sahlin's office in parliament."

"The threat level has changed," an unnamed police source told the paper.

When contacted by AFP, a spokesman for the Swedish security police, which handles security for high-profile politicians, refused to comment on the
information.

On Sunday, when Sahlin held a large campaign rally in Stockholm ahead of the upcoming September 19th election, four bodyguards wearing bulletproof vests were at her side the entire time, according to Expressen.

The 53-year-old career politician has received numerous threats in the past, the paper added. After a scandal dubbed the Toblerone Affair over her use of a party credit card to buy chocolate and other items in 1995, Sahlin was for a time forced to work in a bulletproof room.

In 2004, during a visit to the central Swedish town of Norrköping, a man walked up to her and asked if she was Mona Sahlin before punching her.

Sweden has been traumatised by two political assassinations in recent
decades. Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot on a Stockholm street in 1986, while foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed to death in an upscale department store in the heart of the capital in 2003.

Like Sahlin, both Palme and Lindh were Social Democrats. Neither of them had bodyguards with them at the time they were killed.

US 'pressured' Sweden on Afghanistan

US 'pressured' Sweden on Afghanistan

Published: 21 Dec 10 10:53 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Sweden was pressured by the United States to increase its commitment in Afghanistan, documents released by WikiLeaks reveal.

The documents were sent from the US embassy in Stockholm, according to a report in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) daily.

The information was dated July 2009 and details that September was considered to be the best month to exercise pressure as the Swedish foreign and defence ministries would then be busy with bills to be submitted to parliament.

The documents detail the opinion that once the parliamentary bills were submitted it would be more difficult to influence the Swedish force in Afghanistan.

A further plan was for the Swedish defence minister Sten Tolgfors to be flattered and thanked for Sweden's growing commitment in Afghanistan during a meeting in Washington on July 20th 2009.

Furthermore the documents show that a senior official at the Sweden defence ministry has forwarded advice on how the United States could influence Sweden's power-brokers to deploy more resources to Afghanistan.

The official told DN that he discussed the matter at the US embassy in Stockholm.

In the months following the attempts to influence Sweden's Afghanistan commitment, the country has dramatically increased its expenditure.

The Swedish share of the cost for the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) will amount to more than 1.5 billion kronor ($220 million) in 2010, an increase of almost 50 percent on 2009.

Sweden first deployed troops in Afghanistan in the beginning of 2002 and now has around 500 troops based near the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

In December the parliament passed a government bill to extend the military mission in the war-torn country until the end of 2011, allowing for the deployment of up to 855 people.

The bill required a compromise between the governing minority centre-right Alliance and the opposition Social Democrats and Greens, and came barely a week after a suicide bomber cited Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm.

Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll

Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll

A new poll has revealed that if an election were held now, the ruling Alliance would gain a majority in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, while support for Sweden's Social Democratic Party continues to slide.

The latest opinion survey conducted by United Minds and Cints in collaboration with newspaper Aftonbladet shows that both the ruling Moderates and Liberal Party have increased their levels of support.

Separately, support for the Centre and Christian Democratic Parties has fallen below the levels they registered for the general election on September 19th. However, the Christian Democrats, the smallest party in the Riksdag, would clear the 4 percent threshhold to remain in parliament.

Meanwhile, the Social Democrats continue to lose support from voters.

"If it were close to an election, it would be more problematic, but I think people understand that there is not an election now and that much can happen," United Minds' opinion director Carl Melin told Aftonbladet.

While support for the Social Democrats and Left Party continue to fall, the Green Party continues to gain more support. Support for the far-right Sweden Democrats also outpaces the party's election result in the fall.

The Moderates currently have 31.7 percent support, up 0.7 percentage points from November. The Liberal Party stands at 7.5 percent, 0.5 percentage points ahead of last month.

However, the Centre Party and Christian Democrats are at 5.5 percent and 4.8 respectively, down 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points respectively.

Together, the Alliance has 49.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from November, compared with 42.2 percent for the Red-Green parties, whose support fell 1.2 percentage points.

Among then, support for the Social Democrats slipped 1.5 percentage points to 27.6 percent and 0.6 percentage points to 5.2 percent for the Left Party.

However, backing for the Green Party grew 0.9 percentage points in December to 9.4 percent from the previous month. Support for the Sweden Democrats also rose 0.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent this month.

Support for other parties increased 0.1 percentage points to 1.4 percent.

United Minds interviewed 1,148 respondents over the age of 18 from November 23rd to Sunday, asking them, "How would you vote if there were a Riksdag election today?"

Sweden votes to extend Afghanistan mission

Published: 16 Dec 10 08:27 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Swedish lawmakers in the country's parliament, the Riksdag, voted on Wednesday to extend the country's military mission in Afghanistan until the end of 2011.

"Sweden will make an armed force of up to 855 people available to the international security force in Afghanistan until the end of 2011," they said in a statement, adding that the troop level would likely remain at the present level of 500 soldiers.

The vote came a month after Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose centre-right coalition came up two seats short of a house majority in general elections in September, secured a deal with the opposition Social Democrats and the Greens.

The Social Democrats and Greens, in a since-dissolved coalition with the formerly communist Left Party, had campaigned ahead of the elections on demanding a withdrawal of Swedish troops from Afghanistan.

However, the two left-wing parties shifted their position after the far-right Sweden Democrats were voted into parliament for the first time and handed the role of kingmaker.

The two parties agreed to a broad proposal, aiming to pull all Swedish combat troops out of Afghanistan between 2012 and 2014, while maintaining a largely civilian support presence after that.

The far-right Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, which have both want Swedish forces brought home sooner, opposed the motion to extend the mandate next year, but it passed easily nonetheless, with 290 votes in favour, 20 opposed and 19 abstaining.

Sweden is officially neutral and not a member of NATO and the question of how long its troops should take part in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is a sensitive one.

In October, the Scandinavian country lost its fifth soldier since it first deployed troops in Afghanistan near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, at the beginning of 2002.

The parliament vote also came less than a week after a suicide bomber railed against Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm, narrowly missing wreaking carnage among Christmas shoppers.

Sweden reflects on Anna Lindh's death


Published: 11 Sep 08 10:52 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

On the fifth anniversary of the assassination of foreign minister Anna Lindh, Sweden is reflecting more on the legacy of her work in politics than the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.

Lindh’s name lives on in a number of foundations, research programmes, and awards.

“She’s very much alive in the party; at the same time there’s been a very long period of mourning,” Social Democratic Party Secretary Marita Ulvskog told the TT news agency.

“But we’re beginning to reach a point where what she said and did is being utilized.”

On the Social Democrats’ website it is possible to order the 'Palme-package', created in memory of assassinated Prime Minister Olof Palme. For the last year a Lindh-package has also been available.

The Lindh-package offers membership in the party, a book, a picture of Anna Lindh, a report from the annual Anna Lindh seminars, a newsletter, and the party’s international programme.

It’s meant to provide a portrait of the person and her career, tracking her development from the Social Democratic youth organization (SSU) in Enköping to the position of Deputy Mayor of Stockholm and high level ministerial posts. She was also regarded as an insprirational figure for younger politicians.

Neither Ulvskog nor the party's press secretary could say however whether there had been much demand for the package named after the woman who had been tipped to take over as party leader after Göran Persson.

Her memory is also carried on by the Anna Lindh Memorial Fund, which awards annual prizes for remarkable contributions to human rights. The Fund has also helped compile an archive of speeches and articles penned by the former foreign minister.

To coincide with the anniversary of her death, the Fund has organized a seminar focusing on the 2001 Macedonia crisis, where Lindh is considered to have played an important role in hindering the outbreak of a new Balkan War.

The politician's legacy is also evident in Alexandria in Egypt, where the Anna Lindh Foundation is based.

The foundation was set up after her death and has little to do with Lindh other than in name, according to retired ambassador Lars Bjarme.

"But the foundation works with something in which she was very interested: a dialogue between Europe and countries in the Middle East," he said.

Anna Lindh's care to be reviewed: agency

Published: 20 Oct 10 13:48 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation
Updated: 20 Oct 10 17:30 CET

Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) will review the care former foreign minister Anna Lindh received after she was stabbed in central Stockholm in September 2003.

"The National Board of Health and Welfare will probe the care of former foreign minister Anna Lindh," the board said in a statement.

It pointed out that it did not normally re-examine cases older than two years, but that it would make an exception due to the huge public interest in the case.

"The case is of great public interest and has to do with how care worked in a situation where the foreign minister was the victim of an attack," board general director Lars-Erik Holm said in the statement.

"I have turned to the other general directors of corresponding authorities in the Nordic countries to get their help in appointing experts," he added.

Stockholm's Karolinska University Hospital last month requested that the board analyse Lindh's treatment, saying it wanted an independent review after commercial broadcast TV4 charged in a news programme that she may have been saved with better care.

Hospital spokesman Klas Österman insisted at the time, "We have not seen any signs, then or now, to indicate that we made any mistakes."

Lindh was stabbed repeatedly in the arms, chest and abdomen by a man with a history of psychiatric problems as she shopped at the upmarket NK department store in Stockholm without a bodyguard on September 10th, 2003. She died of massive internal bleeding some 13 hours later in the early hours of September 11th.

The board's decision comes three days after the broadcast of TV4's "Cold Facts" (Kalla Fakta) programme on Lindh's treatment.

The half-hour show featured a detailed presentation of the treatment she received from the moment she arrived at the hospital, through an eight-hour operation during which she received up to 50 litres of blood, until she was pronounced dead at 5.29am on September 11th.

An unnamed Swedish expert, whose face was blurred onscreen, said the hospital could have used better methods to stop the minister's bleeding from the abdomen, notably by using the so-called "damage control" operation method.

The programme also interviewed Dr. Donald Trunkey, an expert trauma surgeon at Oregon's Health and Science University, who described the rush to operate Lindh without first slowing the bleeding "futile."

"In the United States, if somebody did that in my hospital, I would call [such an eight-hour operation] foolhardy. I mean, you are not going to win," he said, adding the lengthy operation may have worsend her condition.

"I would have classified her as a preventable death," he said.

Eva Franchell, who was shopping with Lindh when she was attacked, said she was pleased an investigation would be launched.

"It opens up old wounds, of course, but I feel the rumours that have been spread around have been very unpleasant. That is why I think it is good that this can all be ended," she told the TT news agency.

Lindh's killer Mijailo Mijailovic, now 32, is serving a life sentence for the murder.

The killing of the 46-year-old mother of two young boys sent a shock wave around Sweden, bringing back painful memories of the still-unsolved 1986 assassination of prime minister Olof Palme.

Hospital demands probe of Anna Lindh's care

Published: 29 Sep 10 12:39 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Karolinska University Hospital has requested an inquiry into the care it gave former foreign minister Anna Lindh after her fatal stabbing in September 2003.

The hospital wants Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to review the treatment Lindh received at the hospital after she was stabbed in a Stockholm department store.

Lindh died on the operating table at Karolinska's facilities in Solna, north of Stockolm.

The hospital has reviewed charts detailing Lindh's treatment and doesn't believe that any mistakes were made, but nevertheless has requested that the health board conduct an independent investigation.

The reason behind the request is a forthcoming television broadcast produced by Sweden's TV4 which, according to Karolinska, asserts that Lindh didn't receive proper care at the hospital.

"Because the episode has such great national and historic significance, it's important to prevent the spread of rumours surrounding this matter. We believe it's appropriate that the National Board of Health and Welfare carry out an investigation into the care of Anna Lindh," wrote Karolinska University Hospital in its petition, which arrived on Wednesday at the agency's regional oversight division in Stockholm.

Lindh was attacked and stabbed while shopping in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm around 4pm local time on September 10th, 2003.

She remained conscious following the attack, with initial reports indicating she had been cut in the arm and that she wasn't seriously injured.

She was taken to Karolinska, where she was placed on an operating table so doctors could attend to her wounds.

Lindh died at 5.29am the following morning following massive blood loss caused by internal bleeding.

The knife had sliced through a number of important blood vessels in her mid-section, including the portal vein and the aorta. Lindh's liver had also been damaged.

Two weeks later, on September 24th, 24-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was arrested for the stabbing. The Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for Lindh's murder on December 2nd, 2004.

Among the evidence cited during the trial were images from surveillance cameras in NK, as well as his DNA.

Karolinska Chief Medical Officer Stefan Engqvist said that the information, which the hospital attributes to the TV4 investigative news programme Kalla Fakta, is hard to address publicly, in part because he doesn't really know what the criticism is based on and in part because the hospital doesn't release information from Lindh's file.

"Our position becomes a bit awkward in this situation. We have tough regulations about confidentiality and laws on secrecy that we can't break," he told the TT news agency.

He said that Sweden's emergency trauma care has evolved since 2003, but that according to procedures commonly used at the time, the hospital reacted in the best possible way in the operating room and that everyone involved did everything they could to save the foreign minister's life.

"We've gone through all the documentation ourselves and haven't found anything wrong and nothing that would warrant a report according to Lex Maria," said Engqvist, referencing Sweden's Lex Maria laws, the informal name used to refer to regulations governing the reporting of injuries or incidents in the Swedish health care system.

"But we would also gladly have an independent investigation and for that we turn to the National Board of health and Welfare. We want to avoid the spreading of rumours."

Security beefed up for Sahlin due to threats

Published: 16 Aug 10 15:53 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

security" class="nodec">Security for Social Democratic leader Mona Sahlin has been tightened due to serious threats against her just over a month before elections, Swedish media reported on Monday.

According to the tabloid Expressen, security for the prime ministerial candidate has gradually increased after a "barrage of threatening emails and letters to Mona Sahlin's office in parliament."

"The threat level has changed," an unnamed police source told the paper.

When contacted by AFP, a spokesman for the Swedish security police, which handles security for high-profile politicians, refused to comment on the
information.

On Sunday, when Sahlin held a large campaign rally in Stockholm ahead of the upcoming September 19th election, four bodyguards wearing bulletproof vests were at her side the entire time, according to Expressen.

The 53-year-old career politician has received numerous threats in the past, the paper added. After a scandal dubbed the Toblerone Affair over her use of a party credit card to buy chocolate and other items in 1995, Sahlin was for a time forced to work in a bulletproof room.

In 2004, during a visit to the central Swedish town of Norrköping, a man walked up to her and asked if she was Mona Sahlin before punching her.

Sweden has been traumatised by two political assassinations in recent
decades. Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot on a Stockholm street in 1986, while foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed to death in an upscale department store in the heart of the capital in 2003.

Like Sahlin, both Palme and Lindh were Social Democrats. Neither of them had bodyguards with them at the time they were killed.

US 'pressured' Sweden on Afghanistan

US 'pressured' Sweden on Afghanistan

Published: 21 Dec 10 10:53 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Sweden was pressured by the United States to increase its commitment in Afghanistan, documents released by WikiLeaks reveal.

The documents were sent from the US embassy in Stockholm, according to a report in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) daily.

The information was dated July 2009 and details that September was considered to be the best month to exercise pressure as the Swedish foreign and defence ministries would then be busy with bills to be submitted to parliament.

The documents detail the opinion that once the parliamentary bills were submitted it would be more difficult to influence the Swedish force in Afghanistan.

A further plan was for the Swedish defence minister Sten Tolgfors to be flattered and thanked for Sweden's growing commitment in Afghanistan during a meeting in Washington on July 20th 2009.

Furthermore the documents show that a senior official at the Sweden defence ministry has forwarded advice on how the United States could influence Sweden's power-brokers to deploy more resources to Afghanistan.

The official told DN that he discussed the matter at the US embassy in Stockholm.

In the months following the attempts to influence Sweden's Afghanistan commitment, the country has dramatically increased its expenditure.

The Swedish share of the cost for the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) will amount to more than 1.5 billion kronor ($220 million) in 2010, an increase of almost 50 percent on 2009.

Sweden first deployed troops in Afghanistan in the beginning of 2002 and now has around 500 troops based near the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

In December the parliament passed a government bill to extend the military mission in the war-torn country until the end of 2011, allowing for the deployment of up to 855 people.

The bill required a compromise between the governing minority centre-right Alliance and the opposition Social Democrats and Greens, and came barely a week after a suicide bomber cited Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm.

Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll

Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll

Published: 20 Dec 10 16:23 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

A new poll has revealed that if an election were held now, the ruling Alliance would gain a majority in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, while support for Sweden's Social Democratic Party continues to slide.

The latest opinion survey conducted by United Minds and Cints in collaboration with newspaper Aftonbladet shows that both the ruling Moderates and Liberal Party have increased their levels of support.

Separately, support for the Centre and Christian Democratic Parties has fallen below the levels they registered for the general election on September 19th. However, the Christian Democrats, the smallest party in the Riksdag, would clear the 4 percent threshhold to remain in parliament.

Meanwhile, the Social Democrats continue to lose support from voters.

"If it were close to an election, it would be more problematic, but I think people understand that there is not an election now and that much can happen," United Minds' opinion director Carl Melin told Aftonbladet.

While support for the Social Democrats and Left Party continue to fall, the Green Party continues to gain more support. Support for the far-right Sweden Democrats also outpaces the party's election result in the fall.

The Moderates currently have 31.7 percent support, up 0.7 percentage points from November. The Liberal Party stands at 7.5 percent, 0.5 percentage points ahead of last month.

However, the Centre Party and Christian Democrats are at 5.5 percent and 4.8 respectively, down 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points respectively.

Together, the Alliance has 49.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from November, compared with 42.2 percent for the Red-Green parties, whose support fell 1.2 percentage points.

Among then, support for the Social Democrats slipped 1.5 percentage points to 27.6 percent and 0.6 percentage points to 5.2 percent for the Left Party.

However, backing for the Green Party grew 0.9 percentage points in December to 9.4 percent from the previous month. Support for the Sweden Democrats also rose 0.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent this month.

Support for other parties increased 0.1 percentage points to 1.4 percent.

United Minds interviewed 1,148 respondents over the age of 18 from November 23rd to Sunday, asking them, "How would you vote if there were a Riksdag election today?"

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt on a Kabul street

Sweden votes to extend Afghanistan mission

Published: 16 Dec 10 08:27 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation

Swedish lawmakers in the country's parliament, the Riksdag, voted on Wednesday to extend the country's military mission in Afghanistan until the end of 2011.

"Sweden will make an armed force of up to 855 people available to the international security force in Afghanistan until the end of 2011," they said in a statement, adding that the troop level would likely remain at the present level of 500 soldiers.

The vote came a month after Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose centre-right coalition came up two seats short of a house majority in general elections in September, secured a deal with the opposition Social Democrats and the Greens.

The Social Democrats and Greens, in a since-dissolved coalition with the formerly communist Left Party, had campaigned ahead of the elections on demanding a withdrawal of Swedish troops from Afghanistan.

However, the two left-wing parties shifted their position after the far-right Sweden Democrats were voted into parliament for the first time and handed the role of kingmaker.

The two parties agreed to a broad proposal, aiming to pull all Swedish combat troops out of Afghanistan between 2012 and 2014, while maintaining a largely civilian support presence after that.

The far-right Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, which have both want Swedish forces brought home sooner, opposed the motion to extend the mandate next year, but it passed easily nonetheless, with 290 votes in favour, 20 opposed and 19 abstaining.

Sweden is officially neutral and not a member of NATO and the question of how long its troops should take part in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is a sensitive one.

In October, the Scandinavian country lost its fifth soldier since it first deployed troops in Afghanistan near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, at the beginning of 2002.

The parliament vote also came less than a week after a suicide bomber railed against Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm, narrowly missing wreaking carnage among Christmas shoppers.

WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange's lawyer says he has seen police documents that prove the whistleblower is innocent of rape claims.

Bjrn Hurtig, who is representing Assange in Sweden, said the documents, which form part of the official Swedish investigation, revealed two women had lied about being coerced into having sex with Mr Assange, 39. Assange is being held in Wandsworth prison, London, while fighting extradition to Sweden.

Assange met both women at a seminar in Stockholm last August. After having intercourse with each, at different times, he faced sex charges, which he strenuously denies, that were withdrawn and then reinstated.

 

In an interview from his Stockholm office, Mr Hurtig said: "From what I have read, it is clear that the women are lying and that they had an agenda when they went to the police, which had nothing to do with a crime having taken place.

 

"It was, I believe, more about jealousy and disappointment on their part ...

"If I am able to reveal what I know, everyone will realise this is all a charade," he said. MAIL ON SUNDAY


WikiLeaks cable shed light on Singaporeans' view of Anwar

 2010-12-12 16:19

KUALA LUMPUR, Sunday 12 December 2010 (Bernama) -- Singapore's intelligence services as well as its senior minister Lee Kuan Yew believe that opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim "did indeed commit the acts for which he is currently indicted."

This was revealed by WikiLeaks through a release of a US State Department cable issued in November 2008.

The cable was exclusively released to the Australian tabloid, The Sun-Herald, and was widely reported by other Australian newspapers today.

WikiLeaks is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, organisational, or religious documents, while attempting to preserve the anonymity and untraceability of its contributors.

The US State Department cable that dealt with Anwar's sodomy case, dated November 2008, and was released exclusively to The Sun-Herald by WikiLeaks, had stated:''The Australians said that Singapore's intelligence services and [Singaporean elder statesman] Lee Kuan Yew have told ONA in their exchanges that Opposition leader Anwar 'did indeed commit the acts for which he is currently indicted'.''

In the newspaper report, it said the document stated that the Singaporeans told ONA that they made this assessment on the basis of ''technical intelligence'', which was likely to relate to intercepted communications.

WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange's lawyer says he has seen police documents that prove the whistleblower is innocent of rape claims.

Second Dutch teenager arrested for WikiLeaks-related DDoS attacks



by Graham Cluley on December 12, 2010 | Comments (4)

FILED UNDER: FeaturedLaw & orderMalware

Police in the Netherlands have arrested a second teenager in relation to the pro-WikiLeaks distributed denial-of-service attacks seen earlier this week.

The arrest of the 19-year-old man follows Friday's attacks on websites belonging to Dutch Police and national prosecutor's office, which were themselves widely seen as retaliation against the apprehension the day before of a 16-year-old Dutch boy alleged to have participated in "Anonymous" pro-WikiLeaks attacks against a number of websites, including MasterCard and PayPal.

Prosecutors claim that the 19-year-old, from Hoogezand-Sappemeer, in the north east of the Netherlands, flooded the prosecutor's website with internet traffic:

"From behind his computer, the man used hacker software to flood the website of the prosecutor’s office with as much digital traffic as possible. Investigations by the National Police Services Agency showed that the man, who was active under the internet nickname Awinee, urged other internet users to participate in the attack."

However, it is reported that the DDoS attack software being used did not hide the IP address of the computer involved, making it easy for high-tech crime cops to identify where the attack was coming from.

That's a pretty silly mistake to make if you're going to attack the website of your country's national prosecutor.

Who is "Awinee"? Well, a quick search on Google found a gaming website of a guy who lives in Hoogezand-Sappemeer, is 19 years old, and uses the online nickname "Awinee", going by the real name of Martijn Gonlag:

Protests expected outside court for WikiLeaks Julian Assange


Protests expected outside court  for WikiLeaks Julian Assange

Tuesday 14 December 2010
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will ask to be granted bail when he appears before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court for a second time today.
The former computer hacker was remanded in custody last week, despite the offer of surety from a number of high-profile backers, including journalist John Pilger, director Ken Loach, and charity fundraiser Jemima Khan.

If Julian Assange is denied bail, he is expected to appeal at the High Court.

The Australian, 39, turned himself into police after an international warrant was issued accusing him of sex offences in Sweden. Charges are thought to include rape and molestation in one case, and molestation and unlawful coercion in a second. Assange has denied the allegations, which he has claimed stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex." He has vowed to fight extradition to Sweden.

According to Australian media reports, supporters of Assange and WikiLeaks are expected to protest outside the court.

Yesterday, around 15 supporters of the 'Justice for Assange' campaign gathered outside the Swedish Embassy in central London. They held banners saying "political prisoner" and "gagging the truth" and wore masks of Assange's face.
His court appearance comes as another cable released through the WikiLeaks site reveals the United States was concerned that the UK was struggling to cope with home-grown extremists in the year after the 7th July bombings in London.

In the cable, a diplomat noted that Tony Blair's embarked on a drive to isolate radicals from the mainstream Muslim community after the 2005 attacks.

The message from the US Embassy states: "Since 7/7, HMG [Her Majesty's Government] has invested considerable time and resources in engaging the British Muslim community. The current tensions demonstrate just how little progress has been made."

Another cable suggests British police helped 'develop' evidence against Madeleine McCann's parents as they were investigated by Portuguese authorities investigating the disappearance of their daughter.

Julian Assange
Enemy of the State Hero of the People
By Lucy Carne LONDON
SEEDS OF CHANGE: Julian Assange the boy and the thorn in the side of governments, and a rally by his Brisbane supporters this week
In front of an adoring crowd at the Frontline journalist’s club in London last month, Australia Julian Assange explained why he’s risking the wrath of the world’s most powerful governments.
In his face could still be seen traces of the sweet natured, sensitive little boy his Sunshine Coast-based mother has described and, smiling, the Queensland born 39 year old leaned into the microphone.
“They say I enjoy crushing bastards and. Yes, that’s part of my motivation,” Assange said.
“For some reason, the White House finds that offensive.”
Today, the founder if whistle blowing website WikiLeaks and the man on whom the world’s spotlight is focused, sits is a grey tracksuit in one of western Europe’s biggest prsions.
This week he was remanded in custody of rape, sexual assault and unlawful coercion stemming from alleged  non-consensual sex without a condom with two women in Sweden.
Assange’s imprisonment, after he handed himself in, was met with relief in the US, where authorities were angered by his website’s release of embarrassing diplomatic cables last week.
The man who kicked the hornets’ nest had been silences they thought.
“I hadn’t heard that but it sounds like good news to me,” US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on being told of Assange’s arrest.
But while Assange grows restless behind bars – he has already complained about the “boring” daytime television and his request to be reunited with his own laptop has been denied – a global groundswell of support has grown.
The strongest act of revenge is coming from a group of ”hacktivists”  known as Anomymous, which temporariiy shut down the websites of US and Swedish corporations this week.
The group also froze the websites of credit-card companies Visa and Mastercard,n which had cancelled financial donations to WikiLeaks.
Post Finance – the Swiss bank that froze Assange’s private account – was disabled too, as was the Swedish prosecution office and the Swedish lawyers representing the two  women who claim  to have been sexually assaulted by Assange.
The Anonymous group’s spokesman, known only as Coldblood, told reports they had not met Assange and were not connected to his organization but felt the need to defend him.
“If we let WikiLeaks fall without a fight then government will think they can just take down any sites they wish or disagree with,” Coldblood said.
In Brisbane on Thursday, some 300 protestors took to the streets in anger at Assange’s imprisonment.
Protests in London were due to be held today.
More than 35,000 people have joined a Facebook group to support Assange, with calls for all members to donate to his legal fund, while around 28,000 Australians have signed a letter to US President BARACK Obama supporting him.
In an open letter published yesterday, prominent supports, including Australia documentary film maker John Pilger, Minty Python member Terry Jones, English actress Miriam Margolyes and author Iain Banks, call for his immediate release from jail
Assange’s unusually harsh imprisonment for allegedly ignoring two women’s  requests to use contraception has caused this sudden swell of skepticism and fury.
Many believe it is a flimsy excuse to keep Assange, who was placed on Interpol’s most wanted list, within reach of the US Justice Department so it can prosecute him under the Espionage Act.
Even while he is hailed by the public as a champion of transparency, to the governments of Australia and the US he remains a menace. To them he is not an innocent messenger but an anti-government terrorist who wants to harm the US and governments across the world.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard labeled WikiLeaks’s activities illegal but, despite calls for her to do so, has failed to outline any Australian law that Assange has broken.
Federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland also has stood by his condemnation of Assange, while arch-conservative US politician Sarah Palin called him an anti-American operative with blood on his hands.”
How did the tousled-haired boy in overalls grow up to become an Andy Warhol-esque hero of the people.
“Hr can seem – with his spectral white hair, pa8iled skin, cool eyes, and expansive forehead – like a rail thin being who has rocketed to Earth to deliver humanity some hidden truth,” The New Yorker wrote in June.
Born in Townsville in 1971, Assange has described his childhood as “pretty Tom Sawyer”’ filled with horseriding, building rafts and fishing.
I was, however, far from Idyllic. By the age od 14, his family had moved 37 times, living everywhere from Magnetic Island to Byron Bay. It set the scene for his future nomadic life.
The young boy was home schooled, sporadically educated by university professors and even taught himself in hours spent alone in council libraries.
But his life changed when his mother’s abusive boyfriend tried to gain custody of Assange’s half brother in order to submit him to religious sect The Family.
His mother and her young family “disappeared”, constantly moving, never leaving a trail.
But at the age of 16, in 1987, Assange got a computer and modem and his life was suddenly transformed.
He embraced the random problem-solving and solace if life as a computer hacker.
“We were bright sensitive kinds who didn’t fit the dominant subculture and fiercely castigated those who did as irredeemable boneheads,” he wrote of himself and a teenage friend.
He was arrested in the early 1990’sw for hacking into the computer system of a major Canadian telecommunications company, but avoided a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
A brief spell in hospital for depression soon followed, as well as time spent living rough in the Dandenong Ranges National Park in Victoria and a stint motorcycling across Vietnam.
While working towards a physics degree at the University of Melbourne in 2006, He founded WikiLeaks.
It was a site for anyone wishing to “reveal illegal or immoral behavior in their own governments and corporations” he wrote at the time of the site’s launch.
“ I am the one who9 takes that risk,” he said prophetically, explaining his role at WikiLeaks while addressing the Frontline club last monthly. “As a consequence, I also get a lot of undue credit. I also get all the criticism.”
His original WikiLeaks mandate was to9 “make the news, not be the news”.
But that seems to have backfired, with Assange now a household name around the world.
“Is is weird?” an audience member asked him of his new celebrity status.
“No,” Assange shrugged.” Actually, I find it quite boring.”

Dear Friend,

Sarah Palin wants Julian Assange hunted as a terrorist.1 She's among a swelling chorus of American politicians calling for the arrest - and even the death - of the Australian citizen who runs WikiLeaks. It's a shame that real terrorists, the kind we should be focusing our attention on, don't show up at British Police stations with their lawyers, as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange did yesterday.

Here in Australia, Prime Minister Gillard pre-emptively judged Mr. Assange "illegal," even as the Attorney General confirmed that no Australian nor international crime by WikiLeaks has been identified.2

The death penalty? Judgment before trial? This isn't the kind of justice system we have in Australia. If our Government won't stand up for the rights of Australian citizens, let's do it ourselves.

We're printing ads in The Washington Times and The New York Times with the statement our Government should have made, signed by as many Australians as possible. Will you add your name to the signatories, and invite your friends to join too?

http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/Wikileaks

The statement:Dear President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder:

We, as Australians, condemn calls for violence, including assassination, against Australian citizen and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, or for him to be labeled a terrorist, enemy combatant or be treated outside the ordinary course of justice in any way.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "information is the currency of democracy."3 Publishing leaked information in collaboration with major news outlets, as Wikileaks and Mr. Assange have done, is not a terrorist act.

Australia and the United States are the strongest of allies. Our soldiers serve side by side and we've experienced, and condemned, the consequences of terrorism together. To label WikiLeaks a terrorist organisation is an insult to those Australians and Americans who have lost their lives to acts of terrorism and to terrorist forces.

If WikiLeaks or their staff have broken international or national laws, let that case be heard in a just and fair court of law. At the moment, no such charges have been brought.

We are writing as Australians to say what our Government should have said: that all Australian citizens deserve to be free from persecution, threats of violence and detention without charge, especially from our friend and ally, the United States.

We call upon you to stand up for our shared democratic principles of the presumption of innocence and freedom of information.We're printing this statement in The Washington Times and The New York Times early next week - and the more Australians sign, the more powerful the message will be. Please add your name by clicking below, and forward this message to friends and family:

http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/WikiLeaks

What has started with WikiLeaks being branded as terrorists won't end there.

In fact, just yesterday U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, Chair of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, said thatThe New York Times should also be investigated under the U.S. Espionage Act for publishing a number of the diplomatic cables leaked to WikiLeaks.4 We can help stop such plans in their tracks, by showing how they are affecting the image of the US in the eyes of their staunchest friends and allies.

Assange will never receive a fair trial: Hicks

December 15, 2010

Hicks answers the tough questions
Former terrorism suspect David Hicks has come out in support of jailed freedom-of-speech campaigner Julian Assange, saying he feared for Mr Assange's safety should he end up in American hands.
Mr Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, has been returned to London's notorious Wandsworth prison despite winning bail from a British Court.
He will be held there for another 48 hours while Swedish prosecutors, who want to extradite him to Sweden to face allegations of sex crimes, mount a High Court appeal against the decision.
Supporters of Mr Assange, including his lawyer, have claimed the charges are politically motivated after the release of thousands of secret diplomatic cables, causing embarrassment for several governments.
Yesterday, Mr Hicks told Fairfax Radio he was concerned about what might happen to Mr Assange if he was extradited to the United States.
"He will never receive a fair trial," he said.
"We have already established that it's a political decision rather than a legal one. It's important that our governments are held to account for any war crimes they may be involved in and that is why the work of WikiLeaks is so important."
Mr Hicks spent six years at Guantanamo Bay, the US-run prison camp in Cuba, before he returned home to Australia to serve nine months at Adelaide's Yatala jail.
He was convicted by a US military commission of "providing material support for terrorism".
Mr Hicks said he believed future WikiLeaks releases could contain information about his incarceration.
"I will watch with interest in more leaks released because I have heard that they might contain information about my treatment in Guantanamo and the political interference in my case," he said.
"I just hope the Australian government doesn't abandon him like they did to me."
WikiLeaks: Julian Assange sex assault court case branded a 'show trial'
The Swedish authorities are turning the sexual assault case against Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, into a "show trial", his lawyers claimed.

Mark Stephens attacked the decision by the Swedish authorities to appeal against a judge's ruling to grant the 39 year-old Australian bail.
He said their decision was now a "'persecution" rather than a prosecution and was politically motivated.
He accused the authorities of stopping at nothing to have the Wikileaks founder behind bars, a claim they denied.

Julian Assange: 'don't shoot the messenger'
Governments around the world must not "shoot the messenger" by attacking disclosures by WikiLeaks, Julian Assange said on Tuesday.
Julian Assange says his whistle-blowing website deserves protection and has not cost a single life despite the claims of critics

The former computer hacker said his whistle-blowing website deserves protection and has not cost a single life despite the claims of critics.
Writing for The Australian newspaper, Mr Assange quoted its founder, Rupert Murdoch, as once saying the truth will inevitably win over secrecy.
He said: "Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public."
Mr Assange said WikiLeaks has coined "scientific journalism" that allows readers to study the original evidence for themselves.
He added: "Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest.
"WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars, and broken stories about corporate corruption."
The campaigner denied he is anti-war, but said Governments must tell the truth about their reasons for fighting.
He claimed the United States, supported by its "acolytes", has attacked WikiLeaks instead of other media groups because it is "young and small".
Branding the website "underdogs", he accused Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard of "disgraceful pandering" to the Americans.
He said: "The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn't want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings."
Mr Assange highlighted some of the most high-profile revelations made by his website over the last week.
He added: "The swirling storm around WikiLeaks today reinforces the need to defend the right of all media to reveal the truth."

WikiLeaks 'will continue releasing documents'

WikiLeaks 'will continue releasing documents'
WikiLeaks has pledged to continue releasing confidential documents after Julian Assange, the website's founder and chief, arrived at court for an extradition hearing.
Wednesday 15 December 2010

Richard Edwards and Nick Collins 2:53PM GMT 07 Dec 2010
Mr Assange handed himself over to police in central London on Tuesday morning after a warrant was issued for his arrest on rape charges.
But ahead of his first court appearance a spokesman for the website insisted the arrest would not prevent the planned release of further cables on Tuesday evening.
The spokesman wrote on Twitter: "Today's actions against our editor-in-chief Julian Assange won't affect our operations: we will release more cables tonight as normal."

The 39-year-old Australian was due to appear before a district judge at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday afternoon, where his lawyers were expected to fight extradition proceedings.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers from the Metropolitan Police Extradition Unit have this morning arrested Julian Assange on behalf of the Swedish authorities on suspicion of rape.
"Assange is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court today."
Supporters of Assange were told to protest against censorship outside the Horseferry Road court house on several websites.
His arrest came after an Australian newspaper published an editorial written by Assange, in which he urged governments around the world not to "shoot the messenger".
He wrote: "Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest."
He accused the Australian government and prime minister Julia Gillard of "disgraceful pandering" to the Americans, adding: "The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn't want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings."
Mr Assange has not been seen publicly for 31 days, since an appearance in Geneva, and was believed to have been in hiding in the south-east of England as the latest tranche of WikiLeaks material was released.
A European Arrest Warrant was issued by the Swedish last month but could not be acted upon because it did not contain sufficient information for the British authorities. A spokesman for Marianne Ny, the Swedish prosecutor, said the extra details were sent last week.
Police processed the warrant yesterday and arrangements were made with Mark Stephens, Mr Assange’s British lawyer, for the Wikileaks founder to attend a central London police station.
Mr Stephens said his client was keen to discover what allegations he was facing so he could clear his name.
"It's about time we got to the end of the day and we got some truth, justice and rule of law," he said.
"Julian Assange has been the one in hot pursuit to vindicate himself to clear his good name.
"He has been trying to meet with her (the Swedish prosecutor) to find out what the allegations are he has to face and also the evidence against him, which he still hasn't seen."
The 39-year-old Australian has been under intense pressure since the release of thousands of secret documents in recent weeks.
Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesman for WikiLeaks, said Mr Assange had been forced to keep a low profile after several threats on his life.
Sweden’s Supreme Court upheld a court order to detain Mr Assange for questioning on suspicion of “rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion” after he appealed against two lower court rulings. He denies the allegations.
His details were also added to Interpol’s most wanted website, alerting police forces around the world.
Mr Stephens said he would fight any bid to extradite his client. He added that Mr Assange “has been trying to meet with the Swedish prosecutor since August this year”.
Mr Assange’s troubles deepened when his Swiss bank account was shut down after it was found he had given a false address. Postfinance, the financial arm of Swiss Post, said: “The Australian citizen provided false information regarding his place of residence during the account opening process.”
Mr Assange had allegedly told Postfinance he lived in Geneva but could offer no proof that he was a Swiss resident.
News of his potential arrest came as WikiLeaks was criticised for publishing details of hundreds of sites around the world that could be targeted in terrorist attacks.
Among the British sites listed are a transatlantic undersea cable landing in Cornwall; naval and motoring engineering firm MacTaggart Scott, based in the small Scottish town of Loanhead; and BAE Systems sites, including one in Preston, Lancashire.
The revelations prompted Sir Peter Ricketts, David Cameron’s national security adviser, to order a review of computer security across all government departments.
Julian Assange: Jemima Khan comes to aid of Wikileaks founder in Swedish extradition fight
Jemima Khan appeared in court to lend her support to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as he was put behind bars over sexual allegations originating from Sweden.
By Andrew Hough, and Caroline Gammell  07 Dec 2010

Khan, the socialite and charity worker, offered to provide a £20,000 surety to prevent the 39-year-old Australian from being remanded in custody in Britain over the claims.
Swedish officials want him extradited to answer questions over the alleged rape of one woman and molestation of another while he was in Stockholm this summer.
Mr Assange, who was also supported in court by film director Ken Loach and four others, has repeatedly denied the claims.

The 36-year-old former wife of Imran Khan said she would pay “whatever sum was required” to ensure he was granted bail.
However, a district judge at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court decided he was too much of risk as it emerged that there was no record him ever arriving in Britain.
During Tuesday's hearing he was accompanied by officials from the Australian High Commission after asking for consular assistance.
Outside court, Khan said: “I am not here to make any kind of judgement on the Julian Assange as an individual as I do not know him and I have never met him.
“I am here because I believe in the principle of the human right to freedom of information and our right to be told the truth.”
Mr Assange’s supporters believe his arrest is a political stunt to detract from the revelations being made on a daily basis on the Wikileaks website.
Geoffrey Robertson QC, a prominent Australian human rights barrister who was a defending lawyer at the Brighton Bombing trial in the mid 1980s, has reportedly agreed to act for Mr Assange in future hearings.
The former computer hacker claims he had received several death threats since the secret documents were published and that someone had called for the kidnap of his 20-year-old son in Australia.

Julian Assange: is 'Wikileaker' on a crusade or an ego trip?
Julian Assange, the man who published the Afghan war files on his Wikileaks website, is unlikely to be chastened by Admiral Mike Mullen’s claims that he might now have “blood on his hands”.

WikiLeaks: summary of the latest disclosures
The latest round of WikiLeaks releases disclose more detail about the US's relationships with allies and foes across the globe. Here is a round-up of today’s headlines.

Britain
Prince Andrew criticised a variety of governments, including those of Britain and America, as corrupt, stupid and backward in a conversation with a US diplomat.
In his wave of “almost neuralgic patriotism”, the Duke also made the bizarre claim that British geography teachers are the best in the world.

Families of British servicemen killed in Sangin, Afghanistan have reacted furiously after it was claimed WikiLeaks would disclose dismissive remarks by US commanders on British efforts to secure the town.
The Welsh family of Bradley Manning, the US soldier suspected of handing the classified documents to WikiLeaks, have flown to America but been prevented from visiting him in prison.
The internet has been rife with speculation about which former Labour minister was labelled “a bit of a hound dog” with women by an American official.
David Cameron was seen as “lightweight” by Barack Obama after the first meeting between the two leaders, leaked files will show.
Prince Charles does not command the same respect as the Queen, according to a senior Commonwealth official.
International
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, dismissed claims that Arab countries had asked the US to attack his country as a deliberate attempt by the US to destabilise the Middle East.
Released Guantánamo Bay prisoners should have electronic tagging devices implanted so that they can be followed by security officials, the King of Saudi Arabia suggested to a White House official.
Silvio Berlusconi responded to leaked claims by American diplomats that he has a penchant for “wild parties” by claiming he only throws parties in a “proper, dignified and elegant way”.
One of the more unlikely stories to surface from the leaked documents was that of a 77-year-old American dentist who fled Iran on horseback after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
American officials suspect that North Korea has been secretly aiding Iran in its attempts to build nuclear weapons under the auspices of the Chinese government.
Colonel Gaddafi was believed to be very close to a “voluptuous” Ukrainian nurse who followed him everywhere he went, a US cable claimed.
An exile from Iran was living in London when he was targeted in an assassination plot by an Iranian agent, who was later arrested in America.
Hillary Clinton asked US diplomats in Argentina about the mental health of President Cristina Kirchner and questioned whether she was using medication to help her “calm down”.
The White House has told federal agencies to tighten security around the US military computer network following the leaking of classified information.
China would support a unified Korea controlled from Seoul because it believes the North is behaving like a “spoiled child”, documents show.
Sarah Palin has accused Barack Obama of taking insufficient action to prevent the release of the latest batch of WikiLeaks files.
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, could die within months from terminal cancer, an Iranian informant told American officials.
Angela Merkel is the only leader “man” enough to lead the European Union, according to American cables.
The United Nations has angrily hit back at American “interference” after learning that Hillary Clinton ordered what amounted to an espionage campaign on its senior officials.
Julian Assange
The WikiLeaks founder is in hiding after an international warrant was issued for his arrest on rape allegations.
Assange’s next target will be the banking sector, with one American bank in particular to suffer from his next revelations, which he compared to the Enron scandal.
Assange has accused Barack Obama of attempting to smother the freedom of the press.
A criminal investigation is underway into how the latest batch of documents was made public, and Barack Obama could take legal action against Mr Assange.

Julian Assange's alleged dating profile surfaces

December 14, 2010

Julian Assange allegedly used dating website OkCupid, his supposed profile now becoming fodder for media scrutiny around the world.

Intrepid internet users tracked down the disused profile that existed around 2006, revealing insightful information into Assange's personality, if it is to be believed that the information was written by Assange himself.

The WikiLeaks founder reportedly describes himself on the website: "Passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual seeks siren for love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy,"

Prefacing his profile with a "warning", Assange explains: "Want a regular down to earth guy? Keep moving. I am not the droid you are looking for. Save us both while you still can"

When asserting what he likes in a woman, Assange's alleged profile states a woman should be "spirited, erotic, non-conformist. Non-conformity is not the adoption of some pre-existing alternative subculture. I seek innate perceptiveness and spunk"

"I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil. Western culture seems to forge women who are valueless and inane. OK. Not only women!" he continues.

When describing what he is doing with his life, the profile states "Directing a consuming, dangerous human rights project", not without giving reference to his background in mathematics, neuroscience and philosophy.

According to the profile, Assange would have last used it on New Year's Eve December 2006. It states that he has never used drugs and only drinks socially, and that he spends a lot of time thinking about "Changing the world through passion, inspiration and trickery."

Julian Assange offered bail haven at former soldier's Suffolk manor


guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 14 December 2010

Maverick libertarian Vaughan Smith rescued WikiLeaks founder from jail - but then came appeal


His supporters include teenage hackers, freedom of speech activists and a motley group of celebrities. But it was the maverick British establishment that rode to the rescue of Julian Assange, offering to whisk him from dull confinement in Wandsworth jail to a large and comfy manor house in Suffolk.

For once, Assange was not the star at the afternoon bail hearing at Westminster magistrates' court. Dressed in a white shirt and blue suit, he watched the proceedings impassively. Instead the hero was Vaughan Smith, a former army officer, journalist adventurer and rightwing libertarian. For much of the past five months, until his arrest last week, Assange has been living at Smith's Frontline Club in Paddington, west London.

Standing to address district judge Howard Riddle, Geoffrey Robertson QC announced that "Captain Smith" was now ready to put Assange up at his rambling country home, Ellingham Hall, near Bungay in Suffolk – that is, should he be granted bail. The WikiLeaks saga has so far been short of jokes. But Robertson had one ready-made.

It would not be so much "house arrest as manor arrest", he quipped. Not only that, but it was inconceivable Assange would attempt to escape "since darkness descends rather early in that part of Britain". Additionally, Assange was willing to give up his Australian passport and wear an electronic tag. Finally, he wasn't likely to get very far given that "media exposure" had made him "well-known around the world", Robertson said with understatement.

Last week Assange was refused bail after he unwisely gave an Australian postal address as his place of residence. This time his legal team would allow no such mistake.

Robertson, Assange's new barrister, asked Smith to give his own assessment of WikiLeaks' controversial founder, in the light of Sweden's attempts to have him extradited on sex allegations.

"He is a very honourable person, hugely clever, self-deprecatory and warm. Not the kind of things you read about," Smith said loyally. But the clincher came when Robertson asked Smith to explain what precisely Assange's new rustic home would look like. After establishing that Smith was a former Guards officer and one-time captain of the British army's shooting team, the QC asked for details of Smith's family home and organic farm. "It has 10 bedrooms and 600 acres," Smith replied. Better still, there was even a police station. "It's a short distance on a bicycle. I can cycle it in about 15 minutes," Smith explained. "It's about a mile. Perhaps a little bit more." Smith added helpfully: "It's an environment where he would be surrounded. We have members of staff. My parents live in proximity as well. My father was a Queen's Messenger and a colonel in the Grenadier Guards."

On the second floor of the court several celebrity supporters had gathered outside next to the coffee machine and green metal benches – John Pilger, Jemima Khan, Ken Loach, Bianca Jagger, and others. But it turned out they weren't really needed – though their money was. Outside on the pavement, a polyglot scrum of journalists waited impatiently for news.

Judging from his appearance, Assange appeared to be surviving his ordeal in Wandsworth prison pretty well. From inside a glass box for the defendant, he confirmed his identity and address. He also gave a cheery thumbs-up to his team.

Robertson, however, made clear that Assange was having a miserable time of it. His conditions inside Wandsworth were nothing short of living hell, he suggested. "He can't read any newspapers other than the Daily Express. This is the kind of Victorian situation he finds himself in," Robertson lamented. He went on: "Time magazine sent him a magazine with his picture on the cover but all the person would allow him to have was the envelope!"

To no one's great surprise, the judge announced that "bail was going to be granted under certain conditions". These turned out to be not overly onerous: an electronic tag, an afternoon and night curfew and a requirement to report to Bungay police station between 6-8pm every evening. Oh, and £200,000 in cash.

Assange's lawyers asked if it might be possible to hand cheques into the court instead? The magistrate was unimpressed, insisting in these financially troubled times it had to be money up front.

Outside, the tweeted news of Assange's bail brought a loud cheer from the 150 or so people who had gathered opposite the court to cheer on their hero and share their banners and placards with the world.

One read: "Sex crimes! My arse!" Another, "That's just what we need – another innocent man in jail", and a third: "Sweden: muppets of the US." Despite the indignant slogans, the judge's verdict plainly delighted the protesters. Three young activists were so thrilled, in fact, that they broke into an impromptu chorus of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

Soon afterwards, however, there was confusion as news filtered through that the Swedish prosecutor was to appeal against the bail decision, meaning that Assange has to remain for the time being in jail. But his lawyers appear confident he will be out in time for Christmas.

Pheasant dinners, port and brisk walks around the estate may be only a matter of days away.

If he wins his next bail hearing in the high court, Julian Assange's new home will be a historic rural estate on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk. For more than three centuries Ellingham Hall, a sprawling and elegant Georgian manor house near the village of Bungay, has belonged to the Smith family.

Its owner today is Vaughan Smith, a friend of Assange, and a strong supporter. Smith has previously given the WikiLeaks founder a home at his Frontline club in Paddington, west London, which includes several flats.

Surrounded by 600 acres of woods and fields, the estate is the perfect retreat. It has 10 bedrooms, a large dining room with a convivial circular table, and portraits of Smith's ancestors hanging on the walls. There is a housekeeper who cooks meals. There is also a well-stocked cellar with wine and port – the decent Quinta Do Infantado.

The estate is usually home to Smith's wife and their two children.

Speaking to the Guardian before today's bail hearing, Smith made clear that Assange and his team will be expected to pay for food and accommodation. Other paying guests have included games sports enthusiasts – the hall boasts a pheasant shoot, with pheasants wandering freely over the grounds. The local Norfolk hunt sometimes clatters through the gardens.

"It's a Georgian house from the 18th century. It's been in my family as Smith for the past 225 years, but before that it belonged to the Johnsons, whom the Smiths married into.

"Some of the buildings are even older. On the walls are paintings of the people who bred me," Smith said. "My grandfather liked shooting and I'm partial to it myself."

The estate is exceptionally isolated. The nearest train station is Diss. From there it is a £27 ride in a taxi. It takes half an hour by car from the hall into Norwich, the nearest city.

The remoteness of the location is likely to afford Assange some privacy, since it is impossible to reach the manor house without trespassing on Smith's land.

According to friends, Assange shows little interest in food, and is invariably late for meals. But Ellingham Hall is also home to a large ecologically conscious organic farm. Smith looks after it himself together with two employees; the organic produce is served at his restaurant at the Frontline Club.

The 391,832 reports ('The Iraq War Logs'), document the war and occupation in Iraq, from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2009 (except for the months of May 2004 and March 2009) as told by soldiers in the United States Army. Each is a 'SIGACT' or Significant Action in the war. They detail events as seen and heard by the US military troops on the ground in Iraq and are the first real glimpse into the secret history of the war that the United States government has been privy to throughout.

Video: Collateral Murder

2010-04-05

WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

Spamhaus' False Allegations Against wikileaks.info

Published 15-Dec-2010, 8:00 AM GMT

On Tuesday, 14-Dec-2010 Spamhaus has issued a statement wherein it labels wikileaks.info as "unsafe", as they consider our hosting company as a malware facilitator:

http://www.spamhaus.org/news.lasso?article=665

We find it very disturbing that Spamhaus labels a site as dangerous without even checking if there is any malware on it. We monitor the wikileaks.info site and we can guarantee that there is no malware on it. We do not know who else is hosted with Heihachi Ltd and it is none of our business. They provide reliable hosting to us. That's it.

While we are in favour of "Blacklists", be it for mail servers or web sites, they have to be compiled with care. Just listing whole IP blocks as "bad" may be quick and easy for the blacklist editors, but will harm hosters and web site users.

Wikileaks has been pulled from big hosters like Amazon. That's why we are using a "bulletproof" hoster that does not just kick a site when it gets a letter from government or a big company. Our hoster is giving home to many political sites like castor-schottern.org and should not be blocked just because they might have hosted some malware sites.

Fortunately, more responsible blacklists, like stopbadware.org (which protects the Firefox browser, for example), don't list us. We do hope that Spamhaus hasn't issued this statement due to political pressure.

Wikileaks.info will always be safe and clean. Promised:

Google Safe Browsing Check for wikileaks.info

Update (15-Dec-2010 17:00 PM GMT): Spamhaus has updated their statement to say that they don't blacklist us.

ROSSLYN CHAPEL, VILLAGE OF ROSLINE IN MIDLOTHAN, SCOTLAND

Rosslyn is a 15th century medieval chapel in the Village of Rosline in Midlothian, Scotland, near the beautiful city of Edinburgh and it has been the subject of many a different cable television show and a gloat of books and written articles. It’s implied association to Free Masonry,The Holy Grail, The KnightsTemplar and other apparitions; like the black knight on horseback, a lady in white, a ghost hound; legends, myths and mysteries, makes it very interesting for the romantics among us drawn to
these topics and we feel strongly compelled to read or watch anything and everything regarding Rosslyn.

ROSSLYN - THE BEGINNING.

The chapel was founded in 1446 by Sir William St. Clair, third and last St.Clair Prince of Orkney. This chapel is only the choir of what was intended to be a larger cruciform shaped building with a tower at it’s centre. He was getting older when he decided to give something back as a thank you for the many blessings received, by building a house for God. In doing so, he brought abundant workers from other regions and foreign kingdoms such as masons , carpenters, smiths, quarriers and barrowmen.

He had the plans carved by carpenters on boards of imported Baltic timber and then they were given to masons so they would in turn carve them in stone. Since all his workers did not have a place to live, he had them build the town of Rosline and gave everyone a house and lands. The masons were paid in accordance to their degree. The master got 40 pounds a year and the rest got 10 pounds.

Sir William Sinclair died in 1484 and was buried in the unfinished chapel and the larger building he planned was never completed. The foundations of the nave are said to have been excavated in the 19th century and have been found to extend 91 feet beyond the chapel’s original west door, just under the current baptistery and churchyard. His legacy to the Sinclair family, Scotland and the world, is a priceless gem.

ROSSLYN, PRESENT TIME AND OLD MYTHS AND LEGENDS

Rosslyn is the fully working Episcopalian Chapel of St. Matthew’s Collegiate Church and it is a beautiful and extraordinarily different church. The multiple icons carved in it’s interior’s walls can jog one’s imagination and make you wonder about the reasons behind these engravings. For instance, were the depictions of corn (maiz) and the agave (aloe vera) some sort of clue? These plants were native to Mexico and still unknown in Europe. It is like someone was trying to say: guess where we have been!! Although there are some who have said they are strawberries and wheat. Oh well, I chose to believe otherwise,it is more interesting..

THE FREEMASONS, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONNECTIONS

Another engraving is one that appears to be of two poor Knights Templar riding a horse, just as they are represented in their seal. How about the faces of the apprentice, his grieving mother and the master mason - these three associated with the apprentice’s pillar. The figure of a man on his knees, holding his hand to his chest, in what appears to be a Masonic ritual gesture. Numerous angels and so many more wonderful carvings.

No wonder this chapel is called “The cathedral of clues”. The above details and many more, are mentioned in the engrossing and fascinating book “The Hiram Key” (1996) by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. (Love their books). Did the Templars travel to the new world as the Vikings did, long before it’s discovery by Columbus? And did the St. Clairs have in their hands, proof of said travels? Maybe Prince Henry St. Clair wanted to visit these lands? We are talking about a 90 year difference in time, who knows, maybe more.

In Westford, Massachussets, there is a monument marking the ground carving of a medieval knight in armor whom the locals have named “The Westford Knight” and it dates back to around 1398. The Scotish Knight Sir James Gunn of the Clan Gunn who died while they were in Westford, was a member ofPrince Henry St. Clair’s expedition accross the Atlantic to a mystical land beneath the star  “Merica”, along with the Zeno brothers Nicolo and Antonio who were venetian sailors. The engraving was a tribute by Prince Henry and his men to this loyal friend.

There is also mention that with him, went 300 men and 12 ships and that the journey was documented as the Zeno Narratives. Apparently the Zeno brothers wrote to their friend Carlo “The Lion” in Venice, who kept the letters and passed them on to the Zeno family. It is also said that Prince Henry had in his possession the secret scrolls the Templars had found during the first nine years of lodging under Herod’s Temple, which is speculated that the Nasoreans, forefathers of the Mandeans who along with the Qumranians had buried their secret under Herod’s Temple and that he also had an old map the Templars had used to sail accross the Atlantic and that one of the Zeno brothers was updating it for him. It There are also legends amongst theMicmac native of Nova Scotia and the beathuks, native of Newfoundland, whom the Vikings called “Skraeings” where they talk about a white, bearded man who lived with them for a while.

I love this, it is so enormously exciting!!!   How I would describe Rosslyn, its mysteries and any and all connections thereto would be: “amazing, beautiful, fascinating, odd, incredible, puzzling, unique and definitely very inspiring and controversial. Or just plain “WOW”!!!

Rosslyn is open year round and you can visit their website www.rosslynchapel.org.uk for more details like where you can find lodgings, etc. You can even get married there. And… since you are already in Bonnie Scotland, visiting this awesome place, why not continue exploring in many other nearby, interesting and historic locations, where you are very likely to become involved in the discovery of more myths, hauntings and legends this beautiful land has to offer. On May 12, there was a Medieval Fair in the chapel grounds. I hope somebody took pictures and posts them here, it will be a nice addition to the site.

A lot of the information in this subject, I gathered from the following websites. I thank you. Check them out, they are great! I also read a lot about Rosslyn, I am kind of passionate about it.

“Vikings Guh Brath”. Sounds nice.

I am so looking forward to the upcoming premiere of The Da Vinci Code movie, hopefully I can take in a morning show.   This past Friday, I went to the local Cinemark theatres to check out showtimes but they know nothing yet, they said to comeback on Wednesday (May 17).
Like other great movies; such as Star Wars Episodes I, II and III; that have premiered on May 19, this movie seems destined to be a blockbuster. There must be a special charm to the opening date first chosen by George Lucas and now picked by Ron Howard that promises a very successful run at the box office. My best wishes go out to Director Ron Howard, I am a fan of his work.   His movies always have an upbeat feel about them, he is true to the happy child within him and he is a great story teller.
I have been reading in the local newspaper about church groups throughout the world worried about what The Da Vinci Code might do to their faithful.  If anything; from my point of view; it will awaken more interest in the Catholic church and other religious denominations and gather new followers.  In this day and age, Religion is so important for so many people and rather than an afront, I believe it will have a positive effect and will re-strengthen the faithful.  Faith is unseeing, yet believing.

After reading The Da Vinci Code by D.Brown, I found his writing style very interesting and wanted to read more of his material. I have to say that Angels and Demons is a fast pased novel full of intrigue and action and it would be great material to be made into a movie. Hopefully Tom Hank’s hair will be clean and short by then or; big or; they can instead have George Clooney or Dennis Quaid to play the main character. When I first read The Da Vinci Code, I invisioned Tom Selleck as Robert Langdon because he fits the attractive professor’s type and masculine good looks and he is a such a great actor. He keeps himself fit and young looking and his portrayals come accross as genuine and so witty. I feel he could do the role justice with ease. Had he made the Indiana Jones movies, he would be a terrific looking Indiana, too bad he had a Magnum P.I. contract he wouldn’t be released from or be a studio loaner.
Reading material such as Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Holy Blood Holy Grail, The Hiram Key (Mr. Lomas and Mr. Knight have a winner here - all about Hiram Abif/King Seqenenre Tao’s connection to Freemasons) and many other out there that I have read - all extremely enthralling books - I find they open up a whole new wave of interest in exploring such fascinating topics contained in them, like Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, Medieval history, French history (one of my favourite world history topics), Rome and Vatican City, the Holy Land, Egypt, the Nag Hammadi scrolls, Gnostic gospets, etc., it makes one feel like what Indiana Jones would feel while researching one of his archaeological quests. You feel the excitement of the adventure without the dangers and physical risks.
And that is why I find this site’s tag line rings so true, “for the adventurers at heart” because I think there is a little of Indiana Jones, Howard Carter, Lord Carnarvon, The Librarian character of the TV movies, Ben and Patrick Gates (National Treasure) in all of us and in reading such books we get a chance to experience the thrill of the adventures written for us all to explore and enjoy.

After devouring the book The Da Vinci Code by Author Dan Brown in one and a half days after Xmas of December ‘04, (I just couldn’t put it down, hardly slept), I am re-reading it to be able to remember all the details when I go see the movie on May 19th.  I do hope the theatres have early shows so my hubby and I can go see it while our children are at school.   So, needless to say, I cannot wait for the Da Vinci Code movie to begin showing at theatres.

I hear comments from people who think their faith will be diminished if they read the book or God forbid see the movie and all I can say is: It is a book, a very interesting and brilliantly written novel so your faith is safe and I would say reinforced.   I love my reading and Mr. Brown has my full attention, I have read his other books and the ones with the character of  Robert Langdon who is the main player in The Da V inci Code are the better ones.

There is only one fly in the soup; at least on mine; and that is Tom Hank’s hair. I’ll try to ignore it so I don’t get distracted by it. What was he thinking? What was Ron Howard thinking?   But the main thing is, it will be a good movie because it is based on a very interesting NOVEL.
