Just over two hundred years ago, John Robison blew the whistle on the Free Masons. A high ranking member of Free Masonry, Robison grew alarmed at what he saw happening inside the Craft. You can read the full text of what he wrote here: Proofs of a Conspiracy, by John Robison (1798). Many thanks to John Bruno Hare for making this old book available on the Internet. As usual with each Reactor Core release, the HTML code has been cleaned up and simplified, and the entire work was condensed into one page, so you can easily save it, print it, copy it, or mirror it.
Everyone now "knows" that Masonry has 33 degrees. But Robison mentions that this depends what country you are in. Some lodges in France had 45 degrees. Robison intimates that the first three degrees are the real ones, and anything higher than that is unrelated to the secrets of stone architecture.
At one time I thought the Feemasons may have a role to play in the building of the third temple. Looking at how far modern Masonry has strayed from its Crafty roots, I now doubt it. The Craft is now public knowledge, practiced throughout the usury empire of Babylon to keep its heart blood pumping.
