" Freemasonry is a peculiar system of Morality, veiled in Allegory, and illustrated by Symbols".
This brain -numbing definition is likely to be the first shot fired by a Freemason at any curious outsider . It will almost certainly " divert the course" [ as laid down in the Crafts Ancient Charges ] . Better still it might end conversation altogether."
An astonishing book was published in 1984 called the Brotherhood and became an instant bestseller. The authors name was Stephen Knight and it was a most revealing tour de force. He died in strange circumstances. Then in 1989 The excellent writer Martin Short wrote an explosive sequel called Inside the Brotherhood. It also contains tremendous informations about the influence this so called craft has in our world.. and most certainly in politics. Whether the incumbent president Trump is a member I do not know but reading such books would help the reader to make up his mind.
I have read both books. However, I must point out that Knight's and Short's books mainly dealt with English, York Rite, Freemasonry (which has only three degrees) and not Scottish Rite Freemasonry (with its 33 degrees) that prevails in the USA. Although similar, there are key differences between the two.
I read Nienna's well argued comments above and agree that there is only circumstantial evidence (as a lawyer would put it) that Trump is a Freemason. Even if he is, does it really matter for I have known many Freemasons during the course of my career in the City of London and most of them were good, upstanding and decent men. The C's have spoken though of circles within circles and even cited Freemasonry as an example of the concept:
A: Circles within circles.
Q: (L) Masons?
A: One example of concept.
This suggests that the vast body of Freemasons occupy an outer circle, whilst the few movers and shakers occupy an inner ring that is unknown to the lesser Masons. I suspect that the Illuminati are the rulers within this inner ring since the C's have said that they were the upper branch of the movement:
Q: (L) How do the Masons relate to the Illuminati?
A: Masons are low level branch.
Last night I was checking on the internet about Trump's possible Masonic links, especially those which may be connected to the design and décor of Trump Tower. I note what Wanderering Star said above about rich people do not decorate anything, but not all rich people are like Donald Trump. Trump is known to take an interest in fine details and supposedly had the last say in the design and construction of Trump Tower. I came across a fringe video trying to tie Trump to Freemasonry and the 'Mark of the Beast' (see link below). The presenter admits that all the evidence is circumstantial and in my view what he presents doesn't stack up in the way that he thinks it does. The business of making a triangle with the hands, for example, is a posture many people naturally adopt. Even I have done it on occasions and I am not a Freemason or a member of any secret society.
There is a claim in the comments section of the video that Trump was supposed to have said once at a meeting with some religious people (no name, date or location of the meeting is given) in response to a conversation about numbers that he knew all about numbers because he was a Freemason. It is certainly true that Freemasons take a great interest in sacred geometry, something they have evidently inherited from older mystery schools such as the Pythagoreans. However, this is what lawyers call hearsay evidence.
What interested me more is that someone mentioned that on the night of Trump's original election victory he had a meeting with Bill Gates and Henry Kissinger at Trump Tower. Now if we are talking about the Illuminati, those two gentleman would certainly fit the bill as Illuminati agents. Indeed, Kissinger was considered to be the Illuminati's prime minister in his day, a role that seems to have been taken over now by George Soros. Keep that last name in mind.
Let us just suppose for a moment that Trump was both a Freemason and a member of the Illuminati. In his first term in office, did he go along with their plans for the New World Order. Apart from the Covid vaccine, I would argue no. The fact that he met such hostility not only from the Democrats, which you would expect anyway, but even from fellow Republican leaders, the mainstream media and the Hollywood establishment etc, suggests that he was not following the plan and was not on message. This would culminate in a furious row which he had with George Soros at the last Davos WEF meeting before the 2020 election, who made it clear to all that were present that he "would take care of Trump". And, of course, this is what happened with the infamous Dominion voting machines, which were owned by one of his subsidiary companies in Canada.
So, even if Trump had once been in the Illuminati club (which I am not arguing he necessarily was), it would seem that by 2020 he had clearly become an outcast. But if he was a former Illuminati agent, he would not have been the first to have become a renegade. Recently, Kamala Harris compared Trump with Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party. Foolish as this statement was, it is possible that in one major way he may have had something in common with Hitler.
There is no question that Hitler and his Third Reich were a product of the Illuminati. The C's even said so:
Q: So, there is a very important bloodline of some sort?
A: Yes.
Q: And all of these books are stimulating veritable frenzies of searching in genealogies for this particular bloodline, whatever it may be?
A: It was der Fuhrer who tried hardest. But not nearly enough.
Q: What was he wanting to do with this bloodline?
A: Find it in order to supercede the very power structure that created him.
Q: What power structure was this?
A: The "Third Reich."
Q: And who created the Third Reich?
A: Illuminati.
Q: So Hitler thought he could find something that would enable him to take complete control...
A: Sort of like a termite trying to vanquish "Orkin."
It is probable that the Illuminati used a German secret society called the Thule Society to establish the Nazi Party with Hitler at its head. Although there is no evidence that Hitler was ever a member of the Thule Society, his deputy Rudolf Hess certainly was, having been introduced to it by his university lecturer General Karl Haushofer, a leading German geo-strategist who had a strong influence on Nazi geopolitical policy. The C's also told us that the Thule Society was being guided through channelling sessions with an STS Orion humanoid group that called itself the Antareans:
A: An STS race from Orion that is humanoid.
Q: [something about who or how they got hooked up with the Nazis. Probably a question related to the group that "handled" Hitler.]
A: The Thule Society originated contact.
The C's later added:
A: Now, some history... as you know, the CIA and NSA and other agencies are the children of Nazi Gestapo... the SS, which was experiment influenced by Antareans who were practicing for the eventual reintroduction of the Nephalim on to 3rd and or 4th density earth. And the contact with the “Antareans” was initiated by the Thule Society, which groomed its dupe subject, Adolph Hitler to be the all-time mind programmed figurehead.
But it seems that at some stage after the start of WW2 Hess and Haushofer lost faith in Hitler and this would see Hess flying to Scotland to engage in peace talks with members of the British aristocracy to end the war. By this time, Hitler had banned all secret societies in Germany including the Thule Society, which might explain the C's comment that Hitler had sought to supersede the very power structure that created him. So, did Hitler turn renegade against the Illuminati and, like a termite trying to vanquish "Orkin" (a pest control organisation), did he attempt to supersede their power structure, which saw the Illuminati endeavouring to stop him at all costs?
Could Trump have also been in the Illuminati club but for reasons we do not know, he turned against their NWO plans with his 'America First' policies? Was this the reason why Soros and co did all in their power to prevent Trump from winning the 2020 election since, like Hitler before him, he endangered their NWO plans. If this is the case (and this is entirely speculation on my part), as I said in my earlier post, could Trump be an example of what the C's said about the Illuminati: "Some near conjunction blend both service patterns [STO and STS] and each "camp" to create perfect balance."
There is no question that Trump has overt STS characteristics (he is clearly narcissistic) but in defending the interests of ordinary, hard-working Americans he also displays clear STO qualities. Americans can only hope as President that he continues to thwart the Illuminati's NWO plans. The C's said a short while ago that the Illuminati would only achieve 80% of their plans in the USA. Could it be that Trump will prevent them from achieving the remaining 20%?
