then again... met some who seem great.
check out the poem "the builders" by henry wadsworth longfellow. masons have been important in history but they've also had their hand under the table so watch out for those who always have to wear labels. ou gotta know how to not make a business out of standing on your own and teaching others to do the same.

if the system falls and notta one of us can come up with some type of plan of peaceful order to ATTEMPT.... with the resources we have in a local community, then how in the hell is any of this stuff being done now? You can only do it if you have a buck in your hand? THAT'S A FREAKING COP OUT.... LITERALLY.
I bet that if the system collapsed and martial law was declared (which I was told can no longer be declared... which I really need to look into to cut through the bs)... there would be some very excited volunteers who wanted to help maintain order.... I promise you that. Why is everyone so certain that everything will just stop? it can come damn close but who is running it NOW?
THE SLAVES!!!
We know how to run this bitch. Why is this even a question? Don't pull sides against the military for example... you are friends with some of those people and pray for them to come home. how do you think they would feel to be asked to turn a gun on American citizens? If people cooperated, it's a hell of a lot less likely that they would not have your back... because this is their country too and they don't want to see a sweep of land go into the hands of the richest people on earth... they don't. They BLEED for this #.... You think they like being jerked around and lied to? Cooperation means across the board. Change does not mean anarchy. We are not looking for more enemies. We are looking for camaraderie and flexibility in opinions as well as staunch resistance to things that should never be. we will always need preparedness in defense... that is opposite anarchy. we just need to remember whose side we are on.

As my name suggests, I am a Mason. You basically just said there's good and bad Masons--but that's the same with ANY group. The worst Mason colleagues I've known were simply greedy. The best Masons I've known have lifted up communities and organized them. Several signers of the Deceleration of Independence were Freemasons. We even accept all religions as long as you recognize a supreme being (any god). So this nonsense about being into cannibalism, taking over the world for evil purpose, etc. that the OP posted is just ridiculous.
Btw, even our "worst" members (the ones I would say are a little greedy) hold more honor to their words and pride to their actions than 99% of everyone else.

Think about what you said for just a moment.
You said that there are good and bad masons, essentially agreeing with me. I too have masons in my family who are much better than most others I've met. Now, try to be logical... if there are good and bad masons doesn't it stand to reason that some people will be unhappy with the deeds of some masons? Are you saying those people should have no voice? How about filthy ex bikers who make drugs and go into prisons under the guise of preaching the gospel and pass those drugs to inmates, but only the minorities... to help fund their lodges.
I know mason's well, guy. Some are ok... some have corrupted the name they love to throw around and I'm sorry if that hurts your pride, but it's reality.

Yeah, I didnt get the gist of the post. Maybe the op could repost with more legible info of some form or another?

Sorry, this has to be the most scatterbrained post I've looked over in a while. First you say the elite don't run the system but men they pay do...then you say we must overthrow the elites...but the only way to do that is to overthrow the system they control, which is the government, which is anarchy.
You have no logic. I'm not even going to comment beyond the first sentence you said.
This is of course is giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming there are "elites". But, as anyone with a brain (and less active imagination) knows, our problems arose from banks and the policies of elected officials. There's nothing hidden or secret about that and certainly nothing "elites" would be to blame for.

Either everyone will join me simultaneously without question or everyone will look at me like I am a nut and someone will call the cops on me and I will go to jail and be the crude topic of everyone's conversation while they have dinner tonight.

Or you could... I'm not going to post because it would be against the TOC of ATS and I might actually get reported to authorities for saying it... Not sure if you'll get my implication...
