Wow, android.. just... wow. Do you really think that was neccessary? That post, from a 3rd party, looked pretty childish, which hurts your credibility; your posts started out well structured and clear, then it appeared that emotions got in the way and you went down hill from there. Maybe you should take a step back and regain your composure?

Your turn.

Terry. If this is you. Let's set the table straight so we can move forward without stepping on each other.
1) Your ability at archiving information is laudible. I think Google does a far better job and hence you are a waste of duplication.
2) Your attempts to parlay your coding ability into some "Conspiracy Guru" is laughable. You suck at it. You don't interest me nor have you ever interested me. I don't even waste my time on your site and yeah, I spend thousands of hours in research too - and you never come up.
3) Your arrogant little haughty attitude means jack to me.
Your idea of archiving information hardly equates to a comprehensive ability for you to grasp anything. So you can regurgitate other peoples material.
I can find third graders who can do that.
Satisfied?
And for the record, still, people like you get hired, so don't think your ability to write code and make money by ripping off other peoples information is all so admirable to all of us. To me you are a common criminal thief and you are not even as good at it as Google.
At least with Google I could find myself.
With you I drew blanks - so obviously you SUCK.
85 Billion pages?
I found 100 pages of me on Google and not a damn thing on your site...so tell me how impressive I should feel for a common thief like you that makes money by stealing other peoples efforts?
At least with Google I could find my own material...so they have value for me.
You?
85 billion pages and an effing blank.
Wow. Impressive display of limpicity.
But thanks for trying to impress me.

And try answering straightforward questions with honest and forthright answers. Insults are over.

Care to answer that one straight forward?

Maybe you have just shown your true colors here. But, no, I'm not. I'm also not Palestinian, or Syrian, or of any other Semitic stock.
I'm French-Acadian, with a bit of Native blood thrown it for spite.

Well Android, I guess you've made your choice to continue to be childish in your replies to others. To just attack instead of either ignore them, or reply with thoughtful intelligent replies.

If I were you, android1296, I would apologise to Fire_In_The_Minds_Of_Men and resign from this immediately. You have failed, to continue now would be foolish. The good Sir (if he is who he says he is) has given you his pen name, the title of his book and his website URL. You have given nothing. Persons have enquired to review your work and you have declined, saying it's "all gone." Then you turn around and claim you've got 100 pages of your material from Google, but you do not show any of it.
Ill conceived and poorly executed.

Thanks.
For the record, there's nothing about my name that is anonymous or akin to a "pen name." I mentioned "pen name" while addressing OP. I asked for his, as it is pretty obvious that a "pen name" might be something that he would use.
...Ohhh, and a prediction: he will take extreme offense to even this innocuous comment. Fire and Brimstone awaits.
Now we have us, The Masons. Thumping our chests about how much charity work we do and we are afraid to even discuss a little bit of politics in the Lodge during an open meeting. Meanwhile the Dream of the American Republic of Freedom is dieing and we still play our fiddles.

Now OP, to answer some of the issues raised in your opening post (from my viewpoint and imo only):
1. Yes, what freemasonry represents is a danger to oppression and tyranny. Thats why it is outlawed in countries that do not value freedom.
2. Yes, it needs to be reformed, refreshed, modernized before it decays, before it becomes the path to boredom rather than a path to tolerance and social englightenment.
