hey guys why we dont make our own conspiracy group? We might not achieve a world domination but, it surely could help out in our usual errands.

You are right there was and is a Masonic conspiracy. That conspiracy was and is to promote the ideals of the enlightenment. During the time of monarchs we gave the founding fathers a concept of equality among men. We gave them experience in participatory government. We promoted the ideals of democracy. We champion virtue as the highest ideal. Washington and his fellow Masons prevented a military coup that would have established a monarchy in this country after the battle of Yorktown. In return for these services, our mark has been left on the geography of the nation’s capital and on the face of our currency. The average Mason in the United States is about 70 years old. Many lodges have difficulty finding enough viable members that can climb the stairs to open the lodges. We are an order steeped in ritual. Those that would tell you that they know the secrets of Free Masonry are at best the purveyors of children’s fairy tails and at worst liars. If you were ever able to eavesdrop on a lodge meeting you would find the ritual archaic and rather naive. The fears of us have been created by those with agendas to sell their books and promote their personal political fortunes. Relax, unless something is done. We will become extinct within a generation or two.

As an aside, If we run the world, I want to know why I cannot seem to pick a winning lottery ticket.

Well call it what you will but PO is going to create an enormous amount of fear and uncertainty all around the globe.

The fear that will come about by all this economic and social turmoil will present a huge opportunity for the consolidation of power. People will gladdy trade their freedoms in return for just the appearance of stability. It has happened over and over again throughout history.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('skiwi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mmasters', ' ')I think it's a little more than a bunch of rich guys trying to protect themselves.

[mmasters]

Hmm, you know I think they're referring to private groups of bankers. The illuminati/masons and bankers were seperate groups at that time with sometimes competing interests. The banking groups have always been the most powerful of all secret groups.

Or could it be the Pilgrim's society. They are the ones who really run things!

Your problem, Masons weren't around when Solomon's Temple was constructed.

Such impossible parts reduce most conspiracy theories into comedy material.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Raphael', 'I') suggest you google freemasonry and solomon's temple before suggesting the 'masons' weren't around.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ho in your HIStory book suggests built this Temple?

The second layer of the onion is the Pilgrim's society. Here is some info for you to chew on. The CFR is the Council on Foreign Relations. This is from the website cited below:

"I remember looking at an old documentary about the CFR "master conspiracy". The usual stuff came by; banking, the Illuminati and the dollar bill. At the end they showed these concentric rings, indicating the CFR had unknown inner circles. Guess we can now say for sure what the second circle is, counting from the outside. It's the Pilgrims Society and it undeniably shows the close link between American and British foreign policy."

Here's a great website on the Pilgrims, check it out:
