Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Those of us who get a lot of literature pertaining to the various shenanigans of the New World Order read articles about Freemasons frequently. I know a doctor who is a devout Freemason, and when I broach that subject with him and try to tell him of the dangers of Freemasonry, he always laughs at me.

He says that he goes to their meetings, knows everything that might be going on - and nothing could be farther from the mark than harmless people wanting to do good now being tainted with the brush of evil.

I am sure that he is right - about the level of Freemasonry he is allowed to see. Secret societies have always constructed around them the aura of respectability, and what is hiding underneath is left for us to guess.

It seems that some Brits are now guessing.

Here is yet another segment from Ernst Zundel's March "Power" letter, titled "British Freemasonry under surprise attack by Parliamentary Committee":

In what can only be called astonishing developments - moves tantamont to a bloodless revolution - are taking place in England against the real and mostly unelected rulers of England. 340,000 British Freemasons are currently under scrutiny - especially those in the police and the judiciary.

Remember: I was charged and tried in court for seven weeks in 1983-1985 because I had written a 4-page pamphlet alerting the leadership of the Arab world to the role of politicized Freemasonry in the Western world in corruption, revolutions, and politics generally. At the time, many of my supporters, who were Masons - some in the police forces - were critical of me, and I lost some support because of my stance over the years.

My view simply is: if all they want is to build Shriner hospitals or do good deeds, why all the secret handshakes, passwords, weird rituals etc.? In light of the developments cited below, these critics might possibly reconsider their views, based on material in a recent article by Richard Ford, of the London Times, Feb. 20, 1998, titled "Head to head at the commons":

"The leaders of Britain's Freemasons were locked in a struggle with MPs last night after being ordered to lift the cloak of secrecy surrounding their organization and name members allegedly involved in a series of police scandals.

"The United Grand Lodge of England risks being charged with contempt of Parliament if (it) refuses to produce the information, which the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee demanded months ago.

"The move, at the end of an acrimonious session of the committee, is the second challenge to the secrecy of the movement in two days. On Wednesday, Jack Straw said that Masons working in the criminal justice system would have to be registered.

"The Home Affairs Select Committee had asked the Grand Lodge last summer to identify which of 161 people involved in a series of notorious police inquiries - including the Birmingham pub bombing and the John Stalker investigation - were Masons. The Lodge, which says it has found only ten possible Masons on the list, refused and yesterday the committee lost patience and took the rare step of issuing a formal order.

"That decision was said last night to demonstrate a "sea change" in attitudes towards Freemasonry. Martin Short, author of Inside the Brotherhood, said: "The idea that a parliamentary committee should be calling the Masons to account in quite this preemptory manner is astonishing. If you go back thirty, tweny or even ten years, it is inconceivable this would have happened. This shows that a huge amount of public concern that has existed for maybe 100 years has finally come out."

"There are 340,000 Freemasons in England and Wales, and their influence reaches inside the Royal Family. (...)

"The committee's decision came after an hour of angry questioning during which both Mr. Mullin (select committee chairman) and Commander Michael Higham, the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge, came close to losing their tempers.

"Mr. Mullin said that 96 of the 161 names on the list presented to the United Grand Lodge were former members of the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, which was disbanded in 1989 for corruption.

"About 60 - including some journalists - were involved with the investigation that led to the wrongful conviction of the Birmingham Six. (...)

"Commander Higham accused MPs of conducting a "fishing expedition" and complained that the events under consideration dated back to the Seventies and Eighties. "I rather think the whole thing is pretty academic. If it was a recent case of bad police work or a miscarriage of justice, we would be dealing with the police authority, not this committee," he said.

"Mr. Mullin retorted that 30 convictions had been overturned as a result of the Serious Crime Squad's activities. The committee had been told by police officers - including Masons - that Freemasons had operated within the squad as "firms within firms'. (...)

"Commander Higham went on to say that there was a feeling among Freemasons of "impending persecution" over government plans for registers of members working in the criminal justice system, and there was a good deal of anger about the slur of their integrity. 'We know we have a few bad apples, the rest of ordinary Freemasons are decent chaps," he said."

Amazing stuff! It makes me wonder if I have not been the victim of the same forces in Canada? After all, decent, competent, hard-working police officers, through diligent detective work, identified, found and virtually delivered the terrorist bombers on a silver platter to the higher-ups-and nothing happened! These thugs are still free!

They have not been charged, not been tried; they roam the streets freely! Is there a conspiracy? You be the judge!"
