Chapter 5 - Secret Societies
"An invisible hand is guiding the populace." (Lafayette)
Arthur Edward Waite, a prolific writer on secret societies, has written this: "Beneath the broad tide of human history there flow the stealthy undercurrents of the secret societies, which frequently determine in the depths the changes that take place upon the surface." 112 Another who wrote about the power just underneath the surface was President Woodrow Wilson, who made this startling statement: "... there is a power so organized, so subtle, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." 113
So these two writers has warned America that secret societies had been arranging the major events of the past.
And President Wilson warned those who were quick to condemn these organizations that they had better be cautious.
Albert Pike also connected the secret societies with a secret belief in his book entitled, MORALS AND DOGMA. He wrote that all secret orders and associations: "... had two doctrines, one concealed and reserved for the Masters,... the other public..." 114
One such secret society with two doctrines was the Illuminati, and Professor Weishaupt, its founder, boasted of his organization's secrecy. He realized that this secrecy would enable them to decide the fate of nations and because their deliberations were secret, no outsider could interfere. He wrote: "The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment;
let it never appear in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation." 115
Weishaupt later wrote about that secrecy in a letter to a fellow member of the Illuminati: "Nothing can bring this about [the new world order] but hidden societies. Hidden schools of wisdom are the means which will one day free men from their bonds [the "bonds" of religion, as will be detailed later.]
Princes and nations shall vanish from the earth." 116
So the secret societies were created to bring the world to the new society known as the New World Order. The members of these organizations obviously feel that their goals are so noble that they may perform whatever tasks are required of them to bring that goal to fruition. This means that murder, plunder, and lying all become acceptable as long as these methods assist its members in obtaining their goal.
But the Masons want the world to know that they are not one of the societies involved in changing the world's civilization. They are quick to rush to their own defense.
Albert G. Mackey attempted to clear the air about those who had been charging them with some of these activities. He wrote in the ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FREEMASONRY: "There is no charge made more frequently against Freemasonry than that of its tendency to revolution, and conspiracy, and to political organizations which may affect the peace of society or interfere with the rights of governments.
It has been the unjust accusation of every enemy of the Institution in all times past, that its object and aim is the possession of power and control in the affairs of state.
It is in vain that history records no instance of this unlawful connection between Freemasonry and politics; it is in vain that the libeler is directed to the Ancient Constitutions of the Order, which expressly forbid such connections." 117 So the public is to believe that just because their Constitution forbids such activity, the Masons do not engage in it.
But the evidence that connects the Masonic Lodges to such activity continues to accumulate, Mr. Mackey's denials notwithstanding.
