In response to something i see happening a lot on these threads. EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion on ANY subject matter...even freemasonry. But if you are going to form an opinion on something as common as the masons, make it just that..an opinion. If you are not a mason, you cannot assume to know everything about the organization just because you have read hours of "info" on the internet, or have friends or family that "told" you things that might be false. They could be disgruntled or unhappy for some reason. Either way, if you havent experienced it, there is no way to speak "truth" on it.

Now, for the folks that will say "Well, my father (brother, best friend, cousin, uncles, etc.) are masons and they said that....", this strikes me as odd because a mason wont just divulge all this "knowledge" to you just for the sake of it. Plus, there are things we like to call "irregular" and "clandestine" lodges, meaning that they are not recognized by Mainstream or Prince Hall for specific reasons. So, if you are speaking to a gentleman from an Irregular lodge, you could be receiving misinterpreted information. Just some food for thought.

Your thread has some holes in the logic, like the others pointed out, but I do find it interesting that whenever an incident is blown up and exploited that there are always some famous masons involved somehow. Weird.

Ah, Eff it. Everywhere on the internets you find some yahoo screaming the masons are behind every evil act that's ever happened. I don't know what you masons are up to ^^ but if it causes this much frothing at the mouth of the general(sheeple) populace, I'm all in I went to a stated dinner at a beverly hills lodge a couple years ago, but didn't follow through; I think I'll give those guys a call. as far as this thread, clearly OP just wanted to rant about Al and Jesse. sharpton has always used real racial issues as a springboard for his personal power; I grew up in NYC in the '80's and I'm well aware of his shenanigans. as a black man, I tend to steer clear of both of 'em, because they're both essentially the same, and I consider them "controlled opposition" with a bit of a long leash. they'll scream all day long about trayvon, or diallo, or Bell..
but you won't hear them open their mouth about gaza.

"civil rights leaders" my ass
