"Don't tell" or "be silent and still and learn"? You can't learn anything if you are a roil of thoughts or talking out loud.
But 'don't tell' or 'keep the secret' could be just as reasonable.
As far as it being evil, today, yeah, i can see that, but keep in mind that masonry dates from a time when peopel were killed for their religion or for opposition to the churches.

Am I correct to say that Freemasonry emphasizes on the significance of Death?

You would be correct, IMO, to say the Third Degree emphasizes the significance of death, but I would not say that the entire system does. For example, most if not all of the higher degrees of the Scottish Rite, beginning with the 4°, elaborate on the Second Degree, in showing the proper way to live.

...About the Skull and Bones society, that has become almost a generic name of a degree of ancient freemasonry. Many offshoot sects have branded themselves with that cryptic name. Really, the skull and bones is the symbol of psychological death, that is all. The symbol and degree originated with the Knights Templar, who, in the beginning were Gnostic and totally positive, but like many other sects, ended up degenerating...

Don't worry about censorship; just let the filters to their work. They actually do a very good of not changing meaning by simply changing it to or adding a #.

Based upon what?
Albert Pikes Illuminati name was Lumid Anholf, I wonder if it means something interesting.
??? The illuminati were long gone before pike existed. Also, notice that the illuminati used classical references for their names, not that bizzare name.
I wonder if there are any videos of Albert Pike speaking anywhere??
Only on the chronovisor.

I heard this too. He mentions at least 3, I remember Nathan for sure. The third one he even gives a lodge #, so maybe that can be confirmed. It looks to be mostly in the Orient Lodges.

I thought it was connected with the bronze snake emblem that Moses erected to deliver the Israelites from their pestilential punishment in the desert.
