I think its very clear you are interested in trying to shove a point through without any consideration that you happen to be either 100% incorrect or are quoting from sources which there is no reason to believe are correct because they are not reliable.
You have failed to demonstrate anything at all. But you have shown, contrary to your intentions, a perfect example of where an attempt was made to use a loge for a nefarious purpose which the institution of freemasonry positively responded to and dealt with the problem as soon as it became aware.
Thanks for the great example!

Licio Gelli, Grand Master P2
Called Naja Hannah (King Cobra) by P2 members. Born 1919 in Pistoia, a provincial capital of Tuscany. At Seventeen he left high school to fight with the Fascist Italian Blackshirt division in Spain, and during World War II Gelli zealously supported the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini. Gelli served as an Officer in the notorious German SS Herman Goering Division which saw extensive duty in the battles of Sicily and Mainland Italy. When the dictator fell, Gelli fled to Argentina, where he allied himself with Juan Peron, became Peron's economic advisor to Italy, and was granted dual citizenship.
Operated the "Rat Line" which orchestrated the escape of hundreds of indicted or suspected Nazi War Criminals, "Scientists", and Nazi Intelligence Officers including likely Klaus Barbie the Butcher of Lyon, Via Switzerland to South America under the direction of O.S.S./C.I.A., and M.I.5 using the code name "Operation Paperclip".
With the help of the Grande Oriente of Italy the Anti-Fascist Commission cleared Gelli of War Crime charges related to his involvement with the executions of Partisans by the SS, contradicting claims by Masons of Anti-Masonry by Italian Fascists, and Anti-Fascism by Italian Masons. When Juan Peron died, Eva Peron called him back to organize the transition.
In early 1960's he joined the Masonic Order of Freemasonry known in Italy as the Grande Oriente (recognized by mainstream Freemasonry UGLE & U.S. Grand Lodges). As Grand Master of P2 Gelli declared himself "a lifelong anti-communist".

Michele Sindona
Born in 1920 in Patti, Sicily. Sindona became the most successful tax lawyer and the most powerful banker in Italy. Years later, as one of the wealthiest men in the world, Sindona was identified by the Italian and U.S. governments as the Mafia's banker (appointed as such at a International Mafia conclave in Palermo Sicily in 1957). He was accused of washing heroin profits through his banks and of smuggling currency out of Italy through the Bank of the Vatican and help organize with P2 Grand Master Gelli and the CIA/MI5 the coup in Greece in '69, an attempted coup in Italy plus others in Spain and Latin America).

The following is an excerpt from a much longer post I made on GNN1, which Darios reproduced in full over at Upwingers, about the so-called “Strategy of Tension”.
It deals with Operation Gladio. Unlike the majority of suspected false flag operations, it is extremely well documented and can therefore serve as a crash-course in the study of state-sponsored terrorism.
As I will outline in the follow-up, there are extraordinary similarities between Gladio and the “War on Terra”, not the least of which is that many neocons – top policy makers who are now at the helm of battleship Amerika (Kissinger, for instance) – were actually involved in the conspiracy.

“Some Italian political analysts believe that P2 and “Ordine Nuova” (New Order) may have cooperated with the CIA [to bomb the railway station].… There are clearly overlapping circles of membership between P2, the CIA, and the Knights of Malta, a “sovereign military order descended from the Knights of St. John-Hospitallers,” and whose membership in the U.S. has included Bill Casey, Alexander Haig, and Prescott Bush [and reportedly George Bush].”

But the P2 Lodge is not a part of the system of Freemasonry. The ceremonies they practice are much different than ours, and their philosophies and ideologies are also very different. A member of the P2 Lodge is not allowed to visit a Masonic Lodge, and vice versa.

Mason usually say that there are different rites from lodge to lodge. There is the York Rite, the Scottish Rite and other convoluted rituals all of which are under the umbrella of Freemasonry. The only exception is when the brethren are caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Then they are not true Freemasons because the rituals are different, ie the Shriners, P2.
It seems to this cowan that a Freemason is a Freemason until he is caught shafting something or someone.
Establishment
1944 the P2 by the mattress manufacturer Licio Gelli under acknowledgment of the Grossloge Grande Oriente d'Italia as Freimaurerloge again-justified. Gelli became 1967 "masters of the chair ". The Italian Grossloge was and is not recognized not of the United Grand Lodge OF England.
When it turned out that the establishment of lying in the sense of a conspiracy with the intention happened of intervening actively in the Italian policy the Italian large lying day of the Grande Oriente decided d'Italia 1974 the deprivation of those "group of own qualification ", which became effective finally 1976.

Members or persons with contacts to the P2
* As the most prominent member under the membership number 1816 the Medienmogul and Italian ex Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi were led. Silvio Berlusconi was condemned because of perjury, after the membership was proven to him.

So prominent was Gelli's influence, that he was even a guest
of honor at the 1981 inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.
Gelli used blackmail in order to gain prominent members of his P-2
lodge, its membership is estimated at 2400 members, including 300 of the
most powerful men in the Western World.. He was a close friend of Pope
Paul VI, Juan Peron of Argentina, Libyan Dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi,
and many high officials in the Italian and American governments - he is
also reported to have had some financial dealings with the George Bush
for President campaign.
