To REVEREND G. W. SNYDER7 Mount Vernon, September 25, 1798.
Sir: Many apologies are due to you, for my not acknowledging the receipt of your obliging favour of the 22d. Ulto, and for not thanking you, at an earlier period, for the Book you had the goodness to send me.
I have heard much of the nefarious, and dangerous plan, and doctrines of the Illuminati, but never saw the Book until you were pleased to send it to me. The same causes which have prevented my acknowledging the receipt of your letter have prevented my reading the Book, hitherto; namely, the multiplicity of matters which pressed upon me before, and the debilitated state in which I was left after, a severe fever had been removed. And which allows me to add little more now, than thanks for your kind wishes and favourable sentiments, except to correct an error you have run into, of my Presiding over the English lodges in this Country. The fact is, I preside over none, nor have I been in one more than once or twice, within the last thirty years. I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges in this Country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the Society of the Illuminati. With respect I am.
*To WILLIAM RUSSELL16 Mount Vernon, September 28, 1798.
Sir: Your favour of the 8th instr. is received, and I thank you for your obliging attention to the articles promised me, when I had the pleasure of seeing you at this place.

In a letter from Snyder (Aug. 22, 1798, which is in the Washington Papers), it is stated that this book “gives a full Account of a Society of Free-Masons, that distinguishes itself by the Name of ‘Illuminati,’ whose Plan is to overturn all Government and all Religion, even natural.”

For those who wish to know the illuminati better. This channel has 40+ videos archived of William Coopers Mystery Babylon Series. I stumbled upon it 6 months ago or so. I binged all the videos in 4 or 5 days. fascinating.
For those who want to dig on this, Wanda Alger has a portion of her site with many resources for the history of freemasonry in the United States. The overall implication is that the lodges were gradually infiltrated and corrupted, but she links to the sources.
Ty, I believe that also from my research.
The lower-level Masons believe they belong to a fraternal organization.
They are not let into the knowledge and goals of the 33d Degree elites.
Not so sure about that. In the 1960's my Dad was asked to join. He was a man of few words. But what little he did say about the topic when he mentioned it to me was that he somehow knew they were not what they claimed to be. And he intimated it was in a religious sense. So there must have been rumors circulating back then.
Yeah indeed, Catholics were forbidden to join it as a "secret sect".
But some did join for the "networking". Maybe with a wink and a nod . . .
Okay but how do the lower level masons stay ignorant? They're too lazy and uninterested to even do some internet sluething?
LOL back in the day there was no internet!
Maybe the three see hear speak no evil monkeys too.
Well theres certainly internet now.
(I was replying to you because you used present tense and it's something I like to ask)
Bawwwhhhaaaaa
George Washington was a 33rd° Freemason. His French protégé Lafayette was also a Freemason. When the freemasons kicked off the French revolution it overthrew the Catholic monarchy, but but yet sent Washington the key to the bastielle as a trophy. These men were deist and I believe they were anti-Christian, otherwise why would you overthrow a Christian nation and read it through revolution?
Catholic is about as antichrist as it gets
Perhaps the modern iteration of it, but you fail to see the bigger picture. The Catholic Church has been at war with Masonry for 300+ years. Masonry in its modern form is actually older; it’s Kabbalistic Black Magik for goyim. The Knights Templars were infiltrated & the upper echelon began practicing Kabbalah & attempted to overthrow Christian Europe. The Catholic King of France burned them alive.
According to Whistle blower Bella Dodd, she helped 1,000 faggots enter the clergy in the early 1930’s & that is why we are in the situation that we are currently in. Arch Bishop Vigano warned President Trump that they were at war with a similar enemy, that the Deep Church & the Deep State are but two sides of the same coin. So to you I say, research the Catholics war on Masonry (Mexican & French Revolution were Masonic lead. American Mason’s were instrumental to the lead up to WWII).
Q mentioned Arch Bishop Vigano’s letter to Trump & Trump re-tweeted it. I wouldn’t be quick to dismiss the ORIGINAL church founded by Jesus & the Apostles.
👍
The catholic church is not the original "church" founded by Jesus and the apostles, it's Babylon. This doesn't negate individuals brought up in it from being Godly men of faith, just as there were faithful men of God in ancient Babylon, brought there by captivity. They are captives of the mind now, but still captive.

you will never look at the founding of america in the same way again
nor at what is happening now as well
They never good, and we're responsible for most worst rebellions in the 18th century, but in the 1790s luciferians began to infiltrate it.
As a 20 year (former - I gave up my membership) Mason… originally it was a philosophical drumming club, with secret passcodes to get in so strangers couldn’t drink for free. It morphed after that.
I can’t say I witness anything nefarious. Granted I was a 32nd degree, 33rd is by invitation only (and who knows what they do). I still think some of the principals are great - take care of your family first, community, country, and world next in that order… practice your faith as your rule and guide… practice charity…
Charity is where I had a problem. We raised tens of thousands of dollars every year, almost all of it went to the upkeep and heating of our old building, while maybe a couple thousand went to the community. When I ran the Lodge I tried pushing for them to give up the building and meet in rented halls, outdoors, or people’s houses, but it went over like a fart in church.
They let 32nd degree masons just walk away if they want?
A lot of what you read and hear about Masonry is just completely false
Yes.if they dont cough up the eighty bucks a year they get kicked out.
There’s no real difference between a 3rd and 32nd degree Mason. Those degrees are just kinda extra study. They care more about the fact that I was a head of a Lodge (Past Master), or that I qualify to be a Master by virtue of having served as a senior officer. A lot of Lodges have very few people, some with barely enough senior officers or Masters to run them. That, and they care about dues (which for our Lodge was about $100/year).
Yes, u/multithreaded , please do.
If it's been over 40 years (~2 generations), the answer is "all of them" if they wield sufficient power/money/control.
