Image isn't working for me.
I don't mind the crazies though, they put so much garbage out on the internet that it makes it hard for anyone to learn our actual secrets without joining a lodge.
Plus they're amusing.
This is how many anti-Masons are made:
Except in this case it's commonly believed that we're the ones that are conspiring.
Now mind you, I enjoy conspiracies myself and even think a few (that are completely unrelated to Freemasonry) may even have some merit. I just think the fellows that believe Freemasons are secretly Illuminati space aliens who enjoy orgies in their lodges in their downtime from taking over the world are a bit...nutty.
One can hardly turn the page of history with out seeing the corrupted hand of conspiracy at work, it was conspiracy that led Brutus against Ceaser on the Ids of March, and conspiracy that saw the planning of the surrender of West Point to the British by Benedict Arnold. Many people smear the phrase "conspiracy theory" but do very little research into what these people are talking about. While I will agree that there are some whacko jackos out there, to say that anyone with a "conspiracy theory", or who believes in them is crazy is simply short sightedness or ignorance. A simple one for you, according to the law I need a license to "drive". The legal definition(black law dictionary)of drive is to get paid to bing something or someone from one place to another. To travel in your own car from one place to another in not "driving", you are not getting paid. Think a "cattle drive" vs "horse riding". Am I wrong? No, look it up yourselves. But the police and courts will try to make you think it is simply a "conspiracy theory" if you have not done the research.
It does in the sense that the terms are the law, if they are not defined in the statues, then there definition is to be found in the legal dictionaries, which is the legal definition of that word and must be used in the courts. Law is all semantics, that's how rich people can get away with murder because the glove doesn't fit.

No one is going to believe the Masons anyway. As far as the Michigan ritual, they should just claim they were hoodwinked and had no idea what was happening.Br Jones,
The latest drunken orgy reported happened in Michigan. The report claims it is part of our hidden secretive rituals, I must have missed that part of the Rituals when we did ours at Lodge??!!
LOL
May you be blessed with a glorious day!
Yours, in His service.
