Well actually, since your second link merely quotes your first link (and even cites it), you're really just reinforcing what Trinityman said:

Conspiracy Fantasists like to quote each others warped publications as evidence of the evil of whatever unfortunate group has become the focus of their attention.
By my estimation, you owe ATS around $600 by now. Hope it was worth it.

I don’t think you understand we are not a "Secret Society". If we were a secret society then you wouldn’t know we exist.

My data is not flawed. Read Jim Marrs "Rule By Secrecy." All the Presidents mentioned are/were Masons.
56 people signed the Declaration of Independence and 39 people signed the Constitution which is 95 total as you said. However, the number of Masons signing is well higher than 22.
If you listen to Hollywood’s Masonic adventure movie National Treasure, then 6 of the founding fathers were Freemasons.
If you read various Masonic websites, they tend to admit 9-13 were Masons. But the truth is that the majority of the founding fathers were high-ranking Masons.

Hello. Firstly, my dad was on Ronald Reagan's transition team, in fact he was one of the directors of it. I can assure you he was never in any of the organizations you mention. By your count, there are only 11 people who weren't in a secret society. I can assure further assure you, that there were more than 11 people who weren't in a secret society. Your "facts" are not correct, wherever you got them from.
"Reagan's 59-member "transition team" who would pick, screen, and propose appointees for major administrative posts, consisted of 28 CFR members, 10 Bilderbergers, and 10 Trilateralists. The CFR members included William Simon (former Secretary of Treasury under Nixon and Ford), Alexander Haig, George P. Shultz (former Secretary of Treasury under Nixon), Donald Rumsfeld (former Secretary of Defense under Ford), Alan Greenspan (former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors), and Henry Kissinger; and the Trilateralists included William Casey and Anne Armstrong." www.modernhistoryproject.org...
"Reagan never again uttered a word against the commission or the
CFR. Following his election, Reagan's fifty-nine-member transition
team was composed of twenty-eight CFR members, ten members of the
elite Bilderberg group, and at least ten Trilaterals. He even appointed
prominent CFR members to three of the nation's most sensitive offices:
Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, and Secretary of the Treasury Donald Regan. Additionally, he
named Bush's campaign manager, James A. Baker III, who then served as chairman of the Reagan-Bush campaign committee, as his chief of
staff. Baker is a fourth-generation member of a family long connected
to Rockefeller oil interests." -Jim Marrs, "Rule By Secrecy" (31)

"I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the Order of Freemasonry, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest moral and political evils under which the Union is now laboring … a conspiracy of the few against the equal rights of the many … Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong – essentially wrong – a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.” -US President John Quincy Adams, “Letters on Freemasonry” 1833
"The Masonic fraternity tramples upon our rights, defeats the administration of justice, and bids defiance to every government which it cannot control." -US President Millard Fillmore
You know, I've found about a dozen sites that use that quote, yet none that actually state when or where Filmore said or wrote it, nor in what context.

Really now? Because it's clear to anyone clicking those links that the only person in this thread who also commented on ONE of your other threads was Bushidomason. Perhaps you believe he's 7 people? Name names! Who's posted on all 4 of these threads besides yourself? (Are you really also a Mason? Or perhaps 6 Masons? It's the only way your claim could possibly be true...)

Who's desperate? There's about 7 Masons attacking me, lying, and detracting since the first reply. And this is what always happens to my threads. They follow me.

Letter George Washington to York, Pennsylvania, Masons, January 3, 1792
By order and in behalf of the Grand Lodge in Pennsylvania in general Communication assembled in ample form.
J.B. Smith, G.W.
Attent V: LeBarbier Duplesis, G. Secy.
Presented 3 January 1792
To the Ancient York Masons of the Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.
Gentlemen & Brothers,
I receive your kind congratulations with the purest sensations of fraternal affection; and from a heart deeply impressed with your generous wishes for my present and future happiness, I beg you to accept my thanks. -- At the same time, I request you will be assured of my best wishes and earnest prayers for your happiness while you remain in this terrestrial mansion and that we may hereafter meet as brethren in the eternal Temple of the Supreme Architect.
G. Washington
Letter George Washington to Massachusetts Masons Grand Lodge, December 27, 1792. (Appreciation for the honor, dedication and gift of "Book of Constitutions")
To the Grand Master of the Free & Accepted Masons, for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Flattering as it may be to the human mind, & truly honorable as it is to receive from our fellow citizens testimonies of approbation for exertions to promote the public welfare; it is not less pleasing to know that the milder virtues of the heart are highly respected by a society whose liberal principles must be founded in the immediate laws of truth and justice. To enlarge the sphere of social happiness is worthy the benevolent design of the Masonic Institution; and it is most fervently to be wished, that the conduct of every member of the fraternity, as well as those publications which discover the principles which actuate them may tend to convince Mankind that the grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race.
While I beg your acceptance of my thanks for the "Book of Constitutions" you have sent me, and the honor you have done me in the dedication, permit me to assure you that I feel all those emotions of gratitude which your affectionate address & cordial wishes are calculated to inspire: and I sincerely pray that the Great Architect of the Universe may bless you and receive you hereafter into his immortal Temple.
G. Washington
"It was not my intention to doubt that the doctrines of the Illuminati had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am." -George Washington, 1782
The tranquility of our consciences is not troubled by the reproach of aiming at the ruin or overthrow of states or thrones. As Weishaupt lived under the tyranny of a despot and priests, he knew that caution was necessary even in spreading information, and the principles of pure morality. He proposed therefore to lead the Free Masons to adopt this object and to make the objects of their institution the diffusion of science and virtue. He proposed to initiate new members into his body by gradations proportioned to his fears of the thunderbolts of tyranny.
This has given an air of mystery to his views, was the foundation of his banishment, the subversion of the Masonic order, and is the colour for the ravings against him of Robinson, Barruel & Morse, whose real fears are that the craft would be endangered by the spreading of information, reason, and natural morality among men.
If Weishaupt had written here, where no secrecy is necessary in our endeavors to render men wise and virtuous, he would not have thought of any secret machinery for that purpose.
- Thomas Jefferson
