Masons

Back in the 17Th and 18Th centuries, men had jobs as stone makers. They eventually formed a labor union which transformed into a gentle men’s club. After a while, the group of working men began to receive negative attention from other likes of society. There were secret meetings in which men swore to keep discussions private among themselves. They had secret handshakes and passwords. Ceremonies took place with guards on duty. These craftsmen and their lodge meetings have been shaping world events for years. Some say clues of a murder spree by Jack The Ripper led straight to the masonic men. It was a conspiracy theorist that Freemasons participated in the French Revolution. It has been said that some of our countries great leaders were masons. George Washington, Harry Truman, Franklin Roosevelt, even John Hancock and J. Edgar Hoover. Just like any other revolutionary organization, the masons holds ranks.

The highest is the Master Craftsmen Mason, and the lowest is the apprentice. Masons objective is to take a good man and make him better. The traditions and  rituals that masons believe in and continue to practice are still held in privacy. However, the question is, do masons exist today in different ethnic groups? Some Afro Americans are masons. Are there any masons in your work place? What republicans and democrats are masons? You probally can go just about anywhere and find a mason. They are a secret society. Some people today are in organizations that they have no history of. Some are in organizations that carry the personality of the Masonic organization. America has been influenced by the mason power. There are over 2 million masons that exist today. My theory is, any group of people that have certain requirements for membership, and has to pay dues, and hold meetings that don’t include the public nor does the public hear about their gatherings, can consider themselves masons of the 21st century. By the way, did you know Fred Flint stone was a mason?
