This is a documentary series I gave found interesting at present, it's on the History Channel but also some on You Tube:

http://youtu.be/GL0Ly42XUzk?si=df6sG-BAjib1XwXX

It's about Secret Societies and includes the Bolsheviks, Russia, Nazi Germany, etc Also the American Revolution, etc, etc.

A lot of it focuses on the Free Masons. In general what I gather from this was the Free Masons were set up and became a kind of Business Club for the Well to Do, the Influential and people that could get useful to them.

Initially it looks like they were little more than that, but the connections made in the Free Masons Masonic Lodges seems to have become useful even later essentially for organising either side in the American Revolution particularly on the Benjamin Franklin side.

Later it looks like Masonic Lodge members hoped to emulate what the American Revolutionaries did in America but aiming to destabilise the Monarchies of Europe, i.e France, Italy, etc.

I personally gather from it that those wealthy businessmen and intellectuals in the countries saw that they could get rid of a Monarch as had been done in America and replace the Monarch with themselves by using the Democratic system. They would then be at the top of the hierarchy pyramid in the country and be ruling and calling the shots directly or more directly than before.

Over time as matters moved into the Twentieth Century it looks like the Free Masons moved from a reasonably loose business connection network to the creation of smaller sub groups within the Free Masons that were more specifically directed to a specific purpose, more organised, goal oriented, contrived even more rigid compared to the earlier Free Masonry situation. In general many seemed to be groups aimed at seizing power for one reason or another in some way.

Often these subgroups came and went along the way it changed their name possibly lying low for a while before re-emerging. So Free Masonry became a vehicle to change the world to the wishes of the people involved within it.

Today it is not clear if the Free Masons are still used for this purpose. It looks like potentially things have moved on and organisation of particular interest groups and people have moved into other realms of organisation behind the scenes. Probably these days Free Masonry is probably seen as a place not to be for pulling the strings and exerting influence on matters. So much has happened within the Free Masons on that in the past it would kind of be probably embarrassingly obvious and too easily at heard about if the Free Masons continued like that today.

Today it might be seen like an almost defunct organisation that has now long since served it's purpose. Numbers in the UK tend to be very low and the idea of Free Masonry seems to have moved more to doing small favours for each other where possible if both sides are agreeable to it.

I'm guessing some may have already seen this series here but if not it's an interesting one to check out. I'm guessing it's the sort of thing you like to watch Krim so I wouldn't mind betting that you've already seen it ;)

I am the third generation of third degree masons...
you're RIGHT, there's ALWAYS somebody in the background who's in the driver's seat

I can see BEEL's point!
there may be some transexual woman masquerading as a man to catch sight of yur willy at the urinal in the MEN'S ROOM so let's GUT The New Deal to make sure it doesn't happen!!!
although if it were ME....  I'd scoot as close as I could to her/him, and pee at an angle over to my urinal, while making small talk about Nitrogen Fixation

why?
cuz I'm a really weird, and usually high MFer, that does randomly weird unpredictable shit for no real reason
who doesn't believe in Free Will
human behavior is deterministic and not a matter of choice

you can't choose whether or not yur gonna be hungry
only what and when yur gonna eat

and then give my willy a hearty shake
before it withdraws to its lair and shuts the door

I thought there was a fair chance you might be. I think I am more like the Historian guy in the series above, I just prefer to do my own thing.

I can do all construction work involving wood, and I can do electrical and plumbing.

But I am never very good with masony work.

In Bionic Warriors, Scripps News' international correspondent, Jason Bellini, explores how Ukraine has become a global proving ground for revolutionary bionic technology, transforming soldiers wounded in war into pioneers of superhuman abilities.

Amid groundbreaking innovations, the show also uncovers the emotional and financial struggles of those left behind, offering a powerful look at resilience and humanity in the face of war.
