Are Freemasons stalking me?

Great Illuminati Article, its the central banks, like you said. I like the disinformation right after this post, but its a good article. Here is what it comes down to, everybody knows right from wrong, and people dont getting caught, when they are doing something wrong, and when you lots and lots of money, and you can afford lawyers, and pay people to wack witnesses, and destroy all the evidence, what happens? That person gets let off, right? Anyways, i just wondered why Ron Paul is a Freemason, when there are so many, and i was researching this guy because the things he says, are great, i mean totally great, but then I came upon this Freemason thing, and i started looking into it, and I found just massive and I mean conspiracy stuff about this "secret society", and i mean there are people out there that are blantantly vocal about how horrible this group is. And im aware of covert tactics used by the CIA, as far as round about methods of ruining people. But really, here is my logic, if was running for President, and I could either be a member of Fraternity A, with thousands of conspiracies, allegations, and even quite a few documented felonies, or I could choose Fraternity B, with no allegations, conspiracies, or documented Felonies, what reason would i have to stick with Fraternity A?

Please explain, i totally agree with all the things this guy is saying, but, the whole allegiance to a smaller group before simply upholding an office of public duty, I just have to know. Im not for or against, i just want to vote at least once in my lifetime, and this is a serious, and i feel its a logical issue that if it can be resolved, i just might actually vote 1 time.

Whenever conspiracy theory is spouted, the mysterious "Illuminati" (along with the Bilderburgers, The Trilateral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations, and others) are most often named as being responsible. Ironically, however, while many, many people can name those ostensibly belonging to the other conspiracy groups, the "Illuminati" is always left hanging as some secret, shadowy entity which no one can quite describe. Interestingly too, no one can quite identify what specific acts can be attributed to them - and no one in 225 years seems to have left the organization to reveal its secrets. Pretty strange..... (If you're not hearing the theme music for the X-Files right now, it's a CONSPIRACY!!!)

It is well established that by the end of the eighteenth century, the Illuminati had been effectively disbanded. Because of Freemasonry's inadvertent involvement and misuse by its founder, Adam Weishaupt, the legends of its continued existence (and influence) persist into the twentieth century. (Weishaupt founded the organization and then tried to get the Freemasons involved. He achieved a very limited success in a couple of lodges but was soon seen as a 'user' and his group removed!).

In the 1950s and 1960s, members of the John Birch Society made much of this 'shadow' organization, using it as an effective substitute for their anti-Semitism. Perhaps some of the confusion regarding the organization is due to the fact that over time, the word illuminati came to be used more expansively for many enthusiasts of Enlightenment, including but not limited to the followers of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Nevertheless, the Illuminati's connection with Freemasonry was date-specific (the late 1700s) and place-specific (what is now Germany); it had NO involvement in Freemasonry elsewhere despite fanciful claims. Even the oft-mentioned 'Proofs of A Conspiracy' written in 1797 by a Scottish professor (and the root cause of so much furor in the United States as a result of one Boston Minister's fanciful claims made based on that book) notes that the Illuminati's brand of Freemasonry was NOT the same Freemasonry as found in England and from which all other legitimate Masonic lodges today can trace their ancestry.

So when you want to talk about the illuminati, please give the historical FACTS about it and not what 1 or 2 kooks have posted on the (oh so repected and truthful) internet. By the way after reading your "paper" I spewed coffee all over my monitor so you owe me for a new monitor. ROTF LMAO. Otherwise thanks for the chuckle.

The Illuminati grew through Freemasonic lodges, until it had more than 3000 members.

Really? Proof please?

And I'd like some proof as to your claim of Napoleon being a Freemason. He had close ties with the Masons, but that was due to their persuading him that the penalties forsworn by the Jacque De Moley of the Templars were actually wrought by Napoleon upon King Phillip and therefore he had the respect of the Freemasons. As far as the story goes, Napoleon then had his friends and generals join the Masons in an attempt at gaining more political power.

The United Nations also publishes its propaganda through a New Age publishing company called “Lucis Trust”, and Lucis Trust was originally called “Lucifer’s Publishing Company”.

This line is my favorite. I won't bother refuting the rest, because it's all a crap story with about as much factual information as the novel version of Puff the Magic Dragon. You're telling me, that a huge multinational conspiracy with the most brilliant diabolical minds of the last say 700 years or so suddenly say, "By golly, lets just name our publishin' comp'ny Lucifer Press! No one will notice!" And all the shadowy folk at the UN suddenly giggled and said, "omfg lmao, that idea makes me rofl, lets do it!" and then went off for a steamy group shower?

No! No no no no no! Come on!

Think before you write this garbage. Think about individual motives, think about profits, think about people stabbing each other in the back.

There is NOT some shadowy hand controlling all events in the world. There are a lot of power players who all want to end up on top and in the best position and they've got some strange ways to do it which a globalist philosophy, but they're not Owl worshipers who dance around in black capes where they can be photographed or publicly join groups like these.

I've never seen so much imbecility in one document before. I'm going to be in the office for another 3 hours, and I literally don't have time to go through and point out every pure lie, logical fallacy, or lack of documentation you've provided. If only I were paid by the hour for this garbage.

Can you repost the essay somewhere I can read it?

I'd love to go at it with the issues, but I have no access to the Ron Paul Forums group. I can barely keep track of things here, more or less on two boards.

Don't post your insane theories here as it ruins Ron Paul's reputation. Please, take your crazy elsewhere. There are lots of other forums.
