"...That very eye appears on our American dollar as a part of the Great Seal. The Great Seal was included on the one-dollar note in 1935 on suggestion of Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Both Wallace and President Roosevelt were Free Masons. Later, Wallace remembered,
Roosevelt, as he looked at the colored reproduction of the Seal, was first struck with the representation of the all-seeing eye—a Masonic representation of the Great Architect of the Universe. Next, he was impressed with the idea that the foundation for the new order of the ages had been laid in 1776 but that it would be completed only under the eye of the Great Architect. Roosevelt, like myself, was a 32nd Degree Mason. He suggested that the Seal be put on the dollar bill.
Wallace was not only a Mason, but also particularly interested in Eastern Religions, and he regularly consulted an Indian Guru. His connections with the Russian-Indian artist and yogi Nicholas Roerich even threatened the presidential campaign in 1940..."

"...Freemasonic Initiation is deceptive and is especially and specifically intended to be Anti Christian.

What is meant by this?

It will be shown beyond reasonable doubt that the initiations have been deliberately constructed to include direct and subtle references to the devil. Not one or two coincidental overlaps but so many obvious similarities, according to biblical text, that when viewed or presented together the notion of random coincidence does not apply.

Why? What purpose would such a deceptive system of initiation serve?

Why not? The reasons for the construction of such a system of initiation are also biblical. It is simply wicked, to lay snares for innocents without cause..."

European Lodge




Master Mason prepared for initiation Worshipful Master: * * *. (Strikes his gavel three times.)
WM: Brother ______, if you are still willing to take the Obligation, say "I", repeat your name in full, and repeat after me.
Candidate: I, _____ ______, of my own free will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God and this Worshipful Lodge of Master Masons, erected to Him and dedicated to the memory of the Holy Saints John, do hereby and hereon solemnly and sincerely promise and swear that I will keep and conceal and never reveal any of the secrets belonging to the Degree of Master Mason, which I have received, am about to receive, or may be hereafter instructed in, to any person unless it shall be to a worthy Brother Master Mason, or within the body of a just and duly constituted Lodge of such, and not unto him or them until by due trial, strict examination, or lawful Masonic information, I shall have found him or them justly entitled to receive the same.
Question: Why does Freemasonry dedicate itself to John the Baptist and John the Evangelist but not have any mention of Jesus Christ in its 'charges' or rituals?
Answer: As an organization comprised of a plurality of religious faiths, it is not to be expected that any one religion should be represented except to deceive the naive and ignorant. The John's are allusions or references to alternative forms of "christianity" in which Jesus Christ is man only, not God-man, begotten not made from God. These alternatives are called "gnostic", heretical syncretistic sects that mix Hellenistic pagan religions with Neo-Platonism.
Question: Why does Freemasonry forbid the use of Jesus Christ in place of the 'Great Architect of the Universe' in open lodge but contradistinctly emphasise the 'Holy Saints John'?
Answer: See response supra.
Question: Does Freemasonry have any relation to the heretical Johannite Sects of the Mid East known as the 'St. John Christians' who revere John the Baptist but despise Jesus Christ who they term the 'Vomiter of Lies'?
Answer: Yes. The Johannite link is an allusion to a secret church of St John, i.e. a gnostic sect of Nestorian/Gnostic Christians who deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ. The use of the Johns is to lull Christians into acceptance of Freemasonry's religious allusions as legitimate. They are not legitimate references, but deceptive pretences designed to seduce the naive. The latent meaning is that the order is the secret church of Jesus Christ. This is a lie, but the naive are allowed to conclude this if they so wish. Masons actually who seek light/understanding are lead into the darkness of moral corruption and ego defence mechanisms. They are allowed to believe and speak nonsense under the auspices of the order by men, their dominant masters who know better but must conceal the Truth from their submissives.
Question: Was not the Knights Templar accused of ascribing to the same Johannite Heresy, and does not Freemasonry promote itself in secret as being the direct descendants of the Knights Templar?
Masonic Ritual Footwork Their Jesus is not the Christ but a man only. It is an organization of blasphemy to normative Christians which stands in agreement with the abuse of the Christian Bible and St. John and denial of Jesus Christ as true God and true man. It is a fraud designed to deceive the public and masons into thinking that they can be masons and Christians too. That is not possible, save as a Christian heretic or apostate which denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. Note well that St. John omits the institution of the Holy Eucharist during the seder meal on Holy thursday, according to the Scriptural narrative. The other, Synoptic Gospels' authors declare the divinity of Jesus Christ and that the sacraments through His church are instituted by Him for the salvation of all believers. Freemasonry is a counterfeit salvation into self-absorption and delusion that seduces seekers from their faith, so they use as a pretence and facade, the most gnostic of the Evangelists to hide the order's animus to the claims of religion, any religion. The mason is gradually seduced away from normative morality into a new age world of false morality in which the member withdraws from his former life's attachments and substitutes them with Freemasonry's false promises. the member becomes thusly increasingly dependent upon the order as a parental surrogate and authority figure until the member is so completely dependent upon the order that he will lie or commit criminal acts on its behalf, for he has nothing else in this world or the next to sustain him and dare not oppose the peer pressure of his fellow masons' retaliation.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will support the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of the State of Nevada, also all the laws, rules, and edicts of the same, or of any other Grand Lodge from whose jurisdiction I may hereafter hail; together with the by-laws, rules, and regulations of this or any other Lodge of which I may become a member, so far as the same shall come to my knowledge.
Question: What about the laws of the STATE of Nevada?
Civil laws pursuant to the obligation may be circumvented at will. A noticeable omission that subordinates obedience to civil laws at best and subverts them at worst, by alienating the allegiance of the member from the family and state and religion to the Order who becomes the members family and authority.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will answer and obey all due signs and regular summons sent me from the body of a just and duly constituted Lodge of Master Masons, or handed me by a worthy Brother of this degree, if within the length of my cable-tow.
Question: But isn't Masonry Free?
Real Grip of a Master Mason Answer: There are initiation fees and annual dues to be paid. The true cost is the de-individuation of one's personality by submission to the mob mind of the masonic cult. Instead of knowledge and liberty, the mason grows ignorant and bondaged within a guilded cage of degrees designed to dazzle the neurotic mind from realizing the process of debasement into which it has willing succumbed.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will help, aid, and assist all poor and distressed Master Masons, their widows and orphans, they applying to me as such, I finding them worthy, and can do so without material to myself or family.
Question: What about all poor and distressed NON Masons, their widows, and orphans?
Answer: Masonry is a cult based upon mediocrity and mendacity. It is elitist, racist and misogynist. Masons come firstly. The notion of masons advocating democratic freedoms and rights is pure nonsense. It is a deceptive lie. Their practical volume of the sacred law is the book for tyrants by Machiavelli called The Prince, or the egotistic selfishness of the philosopher Ayn Rand (a woman!), who advocated a might is right, laissez-faire capitalism with no regard for social welfare for the disadvantaged.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will keep the secrets of a worthy Brother Master Mason, when communicated to me as such, as secure and inviolate in my breast as they were in his before communication.
Question: Then why does Masonry claim it is only the "Means of Recognition" that are kept secret?
Answer: Masonic propaganda through the internet is a deliberate means of deception, by evasion, deception and denial of the Truth. There is much that they need to keep secret, and much fraud that they need to perpetrate to lure in new members. It is not what they say, it what they conceal that the public needs to know.
The High Sign Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not give the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of a Master Mason, except for the benefit of the Craft while at work or for the instruction of a Brother, unless I am in real distress; and should I see the sign given, or hear the word spoken, I will hasten to the relief of the person so giving it.
Question: What about when a NON Mason gives a sign of distress?
Answer: No obligation required. Typical of an elitist and anti-social cult.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not give the substitute for the Master’s Word in any other way or manner than that in which I receive it, which will be on the Five points of Fellowship, and at low breath.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not wrong, cheat, nor defraud a Master Masons Lodge, or a worthy Brother of this degree to the value of anything, knowingly, nor suffer it to be done by another, if in my power to prevent.
Question: What about wronging, cheating, or defrauding a NON Mason?
Answer: See previous response, supra.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not knowingly strike a Brother Master Mason, nor otherwise do him personal violence in anger, except in the necessary of myself, family or property.
Question: What about striking or doing personal violence in anger to a NON Mason?
Answer: See previous response, supra.
Master Mason Obligation Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not have illicit carnal intercourse with a Master Mason’s wife, widow, mother, sister or daughter, nor suffer it to be done by another if in my power to prevent.
Question: What about not having illicit carnal intercourse with a NON Mason's wife, widow, mother, sister, or daughter?
Answer: See previous response, supra.
Question: What about not having illicit carnal intercourse with a Master Masons SON?
Answer: See previous response, supra.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not be present at the initiating, passing, or raising of an old man in dotage, a young man under age, an irreligious libertine, an atheist, a person of unsound mind, or a woman, knowing them to be such.
Question: But doesn't Freemasonry claim to be responsible for the concepts of Freedom of Conscience, Equality, Liberty, and Justice?
Answer: Any claim to liberty and justice made by the Craft are lies designed to dupe the ignorant. It is an elitist cult infested with dominants who lure and seduce morally weak individuals into dependence upon them as submissive masons.
Comment: Another Masonism it seems. Up is down and down is up.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not be present at the initiating, passing, or raising of a candidate clandestinely, nor hold Masonic intercourse with a clandestine Mason, or with one who has been suspended or expelled, knowing him to be such, until duly restored.
Question: You mean like how the Fascist P2 Lodge of Italy, Argentina, Chile, Greece, France, Switzerland, Britain, and the U.S. was counted as 'regular' by you because it was a 'regular' and 'duely constituted' lodge of the Grand Orient of Italy who you had granted 'regular recognition' to, but how you consider African-American Prince Hall Masonry 'irregular' and 'clandestine' because they are not 'men free born and well recommended'?
Answer: Neurotic masons need to blind themselves to the facts of criminal activities of masons to preserve their dependence upon the masters of the order unperturbed by Truth. Denial and disavowal is their mantra.
Master Mason Mauled To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence, and with my body burned to ashes, and the ashes thereof scattered to the four winds of Heaven, that there might remain neither track, trace nor remembrance among man or Masons of so vile and perjured a wretch as I should be, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Master Mason. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.
Question: But Freemasonry isn't a cult right?
Answer: It is assuredly a behavioural programming cult comprised of dominants and submissive in a symbiotic relationship of mutual exploitation.
WM: In token of your sincerity, kiss the Holy Bible on which your hands rest.
Comment: But remember Brother the oaths you took were only to other FreeMasons...
Masonic Lions Paw WM: Senior Deacon, remove the cable-tow; we now hold this Brother by a stronger tie.
WM: Brother ______, in your present situation, what do you most desire?
Candidate: Further Light in Masonry (prompted).
Worshipful Master: Let the Brother be brought to Light.
Comment: The Light of Lucifer...
Comment: Obviously ....

Examination of a Visitor


Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson

Alas the 'grip' proved a 'slip' Bro. Anderson...

Or did it?
The examiner, taking the visiting brother by the hand, as in ordinary hand-shaking, the following dialogue takes place, and must be literally in accordance with the prescribed formula, as this is strictly and purely the most essential part of Freemasonry. Examiner: (taking visitor by the hand): "I hail."
Visitor: "I conceal."
Ex.: "What do you conceal?"
Vis.: "All the secrets of Masons in Masonry to which this (presses the top of his thumb hard against the first knuckle near the hand) token alludes."
Ex.: "What is this?" (pressing with his thumb the first knuckle of visitor's hand).
Vis.: "The grip of an Entered Apprentice Mason."
Ex.: "Has it a name?"
Vis.: "It has."
Ex.: "Will you give it to me?"
Vis.: "I did not so receive it neither will I so impart it."
Ex.: "How will you dispose of it?"
Vis.: "I will letter and halve it with you."
Ex.: "Letter and begin."
Vis.: "You begin."
Ex.: "Nay, you must begin."
Vis.: "A,"
Vis.: "Az."
Ex.: "B."
Vis.: "0."
Ex.: "Bo."
Vis.: "Boaz."
Ex.: "What does it denote?"
Vis.: "Strength."
Ex.: "How is it represented?"
Vis.: "By the left-hand pillar at the entrance of the porch of King Solomon's Temple."
Ex.: "Will you be off or from? ". (Still holding the other's hand.)
Vis.: "From."
Ex.: "From what to what?"
Vis.: "From the grip of an Entered Apprentice to the pass-grip of a Fellow Craft."
Ex.: "Pass."
The visitor moves his thumb from the first knuckle joint to the space between the first and second knuckles; the examiner then moves his thumb the same part of the visitor's hand.
Ex. (pressing his thumb): "What is this?"
Vis. (returning the pressure): "The pass-grip of a Fellow Craft."
Ex.: "Has it a name?"
Vis.: "it has."
Ex.: "Will you give it to me?"
Vis.: "I did not so receive it, neither will I so impart it."
Ex.: "How will you dispose of it?"
Vis.: "Syllable it with you"
Ex.: "Syllable it and begin."
Vis.: "No, you begin."
Ex.: "You must begin."
Vis.: "Bo."
Ex.: "Shib."
VIS.: "Leth."
Ex.: "Shibbo."
VIS.: "Shibboleth."
Ex.: "What does it denote?"
Vis.: "Plenty."
Ex.: "How is it presented?"
Vis.: "By a sheaf of wheat suspended near a waterfall."
Ex.: "Will you be off or from.?"
Vis.: "From."
Ex.: " From What to what?"
Vis.: "From the pass-grip of a Fellow Craft to the real grip of the same."
Ex.: "Pass."
The visitor now moves his thumb to the second knuckle, the examiner also doing the same.
Ex.: "What is this (pressing hard on the knuckle)?"
Vis.: "The real grip of a Fellow Craft."
Ex.: "Has it a name?"
Vis. "it has."
Ex.: "Will you give it to be?"
Vis.: "I did not so receive it, neither will I so impart it."
Ex.: "How will you dispose of it?"
Vis.: "I will letter and syllable it with you."
Ex.: "Letter it and begin."
Vis.: "No, you begin."
Ex.: "You must begin."
Vis.: "A."
Ex. : "J."
Vis.: "C."
Ex.: "H."
Vis.: "I."
Ex.: "N."
Vis.: "Ja."
Ex.: "Chin."
Vis.: "Jachin."
Ex.: "What does it denote?"
Fis. : "Establishment."
Ex.: "How is it represented?"
Vis.: "By the right-hand pillar at the porch of King Solomon's temple."
Ex.: "Will you be off or from (still holding the hand) ?"
Vis.: "From."
Ex.: "From what to what ?"
Vis.: "From the real grip of a Fellow Craft to the pass-grip of a Master Mason."
Ex. "Pass."
The visitor now moves his thumb to the space between the second and third knuckles, the examiner also moving his.
Ex. (Pressing his thumb as before): "What is this ?"
Vis.: "The pass-grip of a Master Mason."
Ex.: "Has this a name?"
Vis.: "It has."
Ex.: "Will you give it to me ?"
Vis.: "I did not so receive it, neither will I so impart it."
Ex.: "How will you dispose of it?"
Vis.: "I will syllable it with you."
Ex.: "Syllable it and begin."
Vis.: "No, you begin."
Ex.: "You must begin."
Vis.: "Bal."
Ex.:. "Tu."
Vis.: "Cain."
Ex.: "Tubal."
Vis.: "Tubal-Cain."
Ex.: "Will you be off or from?"
Vis.: "From."
Ex.: "From what to what?"
Vis.: "From the pass-grip of a Master Mason to the real grip of the same."
Ex.: "Pass."
The visitor here looses his grip of the examiner's knuckles and again catching his right hand very firmly he presses the tops of his fingers hard against the other's wrist where it joins the hand, the thumbs of both being interlocked and pressing tightly against the hand, the fingers of each also being somewhat apart.
Ex.: "What is this (grasping the other's hand very strongly) ?"
Vis.: "The strong grip of a Master Mason or Lion's Paw."
Ex.: "Has this a name?"
Vis.: "It has."
Ex.: "Will you give it to me?"
Vis.: "I will if you place yourself in a proper position."
Ex.: "What is that proper position?"
Vis.: "The five points of fellowship."
Ex.: "Which are the five points of fellowship?"
Vis.: "Foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back, cheek to cheek, or mouth to ear."
As the visitor mentions each 'point he places himself as indicated, his right foot against the other's right foot, his right knee against his knee, his right breast against his, the left hand of each on the other's back and the visitor's mouth to the examiner's ear and in this position, still holding by the grip, the grand omnific word is mutually whispered as follows, and is the only position in which it can be given.
Vis.: "Mah."
Ex.: "Hah"
Vis.: "Bone"
This ends the examination.

Signs and Grips








Secret Handshake

The Secret Grip of a Master Mason:

It's a regular handshake, except that you press your thumb against the base joints between the index finger and middle finger of the man you are shaking hands with. It looks pretty much like any other handshake; only the men shaking hands can feel the difference. The correct response is to ask if this grip has name and then "syllable it" with the shakee until the password of a Master Mason is arrived at.

The Secret Password of a Entered Apprentice

The password of the 1st degree, or the 'Entered Apprentice' degree is 'Boaz'.

The Secret Password of a FellowCraft

The password of the 'Second Degree', or 'Fellowcraft Degree' is 'Shibboleth'.


The Secret Password of a Master Mason:





Secret Handshake 'Tubal Cain' is the password of a Master Mason, which is the 'Third Degree'. Some of the more obtuse and perverse masons wear a tie stickpin or lapel pin called "Two Balls and Cane" in the sicko shape of a phallic cane with a "ball" on either side of it. We don't imagine they let their wives in on this one, apparently they are told to tell them if they ask about it that it has something to do with Golfing! "Brotherly Love" don't you know. See the Tubal-Cain page for more information on what the Bible teaches about Tubal-Cain, and what that says about the nature of Freemasonry.

The Substitute Word of a Master Mason

During the blood chilling initiation of "being given the third degree", the candidate is told the "Master's Word" has been lost and instead a "substitute word" is whispered into his ear, "Mah Ha Bone".

The Secret Word:

Not to be confused with the password. The Word (always capitalized) is so secret that initiates are taught it one letter at a time. First they learn A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is IAOM.
UK Hotel Lodge Room You never get a straight story as to what it means. As best as anyone can figure, it is the ineffable name of god, or some approximation thereof. The Word (or Name) is a tongue-twister. It takes some practice to get it right. The following pronunciation guide is from Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of Thinking and Destiny by Harold Waldwin Percival:
The Name is pronounced as follows: It is started by opening the lips with an "ee" sound graduating into a broad "a" as the mouth opens wider with lips forming an oval shape and then graduating the sound to "o" as the lips form a circle, and again modulating to an "m" sound as the lips close to a point. This point resolves itself to a point within the head. Expressed phonetically the Name is "EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm" and is pronounced with one continuous out-breathing with a slight nasal tone in the manner described above. It can be correctly and properly expressed with its full power only by one who has brought his physical body to a state of perfection... Note: this "word" or letter sequences is very similar if not identical to the ones contained in prayers of the Gnostics in the Nag Hamadi Library recovered from the sands of Egypt in 1945 (not to be confused with the Dead Sea Scrolls recovered from the sands of Judea in 1947).

The "High Sign" or Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress

The High Sign A phrase or gesture which is only to be used in extreme circumstances is the Grand Masonic Hailing Sign of Distress, or "High Sign". A Masonic defendant in court or "caught in the pinch" might bury his head in his hands and cry, "Oh Lord, my God, is there no help for the widow's son?"
The gesture which can accompany this is for the mason to raise his arms over his heads in a "hands up" fashion and then lower them in three distinct stages pivoting his arms at the elbows until they are perpendicular to the ground keeping his palms down.
Any Mason seeing this gesture or hearing these words is oath bound to do anything possible to save the other Mason from danger, up to, but not including, the loss of his own life.
