Yes, source are disappointed and in past oppressed black people who want statue of KKK affiliated general removed. Who could blame them, what they request is the only right thing to do.

There is a solution but i know some of the Pike fans would go crazy if that happens -- set a statue of liberated slaves near Pikes statue.

I guess, from where I sit, what I mentioned in my last post is, what I would like to see from Freemasonry is to open up a lil to the public at large, and really show us what you guys believe and strive for...

Also, Pike called the northern states on their hypocrisy in the matter. He pointed out that the poor northern industrial workers, although technically "free", were themselves bound up in a type of capitalist industrial slavery, and were no better off than most of the African slaves in the south.

Yes, very interesting views. I would recommend one do thier own researching on any topic that is coverd on this thread or not.
Balance is the key . But back to the question, I dont think the O.W.O/N.W.O. really cares that you belive that they exsist or not. They know that you exsist and thy are reaping off from you everyday. So as much as its great to debate, its also quite as good to put words into action.
Now as much as its important to go back into the past its also very important to go into the future just as aware. Its quite a shame things are so technical these days.
Just one point though, as much one sees importance in revelations and truth, it dosnt quite make it fact!

But let it be known, I tend to lean towards the Ol' Popes views.
Thanks for posting the links. Just out of curiousity, what arguments of Leo's do you accept as valid, and why do you believe that Pike's response was hypocritical?
And I agree: this is certainly worthy of its own thread!

The masses still believed in a devil that was out to get them (hell, most of them still do). Such people are easy to control psychologically: just scare them with tales of demons and boogeymen (as the anti-Illuminsts did and still do). We see it every day on this very message board.

From previous experience with me you probably know how I feel about the Bible. Alot of you here of course don't agree but just to let you know, I take the Bible quite literally. I don't bash Pike anymore but I definitely can NOT reconcile his beliefs and writings with the Bible.
One thing you said that prompted a quick question:
The devil and the belief in him aside, what spiritual consequences to our actions do we have in this life and is it possible to you that these consequences could follow us after we die somehow? I have sort of an idea how you will answer that but be honest.
Another question I ask and just for clarification for this specific thread, how do you really feel about the Bible? I pretty sure you believe that there is 'some' truth in it.. How respond you?
People are indeed easy to control psychologically but does that in and of itself mean that there is not a devil, demons or 'boogeymen' as you put it? How do you know for sure the devil does not exists as the Bible puts it?

well, they've been trying for years to no avail so I'd say there's nothing to worry about.
if they couldn't pull it off in the 1700's, when the world was more easily controlled, how do you expect them to do it now?
the original architects of the plan never knew about the internet, phones, airplanes, television, radio, electricity, etc. they couldn't have planned this far ahead
who plans a 500 year global domination plan and expects their bloodline to enact it? hell, who expects their family to be around 500 years later?
the illuminati is a dead issue. if they ever did exist in the concept that you are implying, they were the most inept, moronic group of people and after all this time, the odds of them succeeding are about as good as me hitting the lottery today (I don't buy tickets)

The one thing we can't do is let them take away our freedom or our independence as people of different racial and ethnic history either, if everyone were the same there would of never been cool video games cool movies, different types of foods ect ect.., these ideas all came from free thinking individuals and there creativity, just one more reason there shouldn't be a one world government, doing this would strip creativity and originality from the various countrys.
