Re: Freemasonry.
That one should take no single person's allegations as fact is very true.
Although it was noticed you did not deny anything alleged. Instead claimed Pike's statements 'were taken out of context', but as with most disinformation teams, provided few in any specifics with which to take issue. These online teams instead generalize, use ad hominem attacks, provide , , , symbols , other forms of meta-communications and short blurbs sending out often ambiguous statements or negative 'vibrations' the poster was wrong. Always short as they've many a truth to assail, are badly outnumbered, and therefore cannot spend much time on any single truth.
This reader has learned almost everytime, the normally fallacious, 'ad hominem' fallacy is used, the party opposed thereto is usually correct, otherwise the substance would have been assailed instead of the author. This sort of disinformation tactic usually works in "me too" teams where followup poster(s) appear to provide 'validations', that are equally short.

A handfull of the founding Fathers were freemasons. 10 Presidents of the USA Including JFK were freemasons.
Freemasons are ever Rampant in the Conspiracy communities spouting "truth" Movements. They are bringing out the very Ideas that people like you and me hold dear. Things like "man is both mortal AND divine" Our consiousness continues long after death in other inCarnations.
<snip> Why then Has freemasonry gotten A Bad name? Some of us Have heard that Rothschild and other private Bankers Funded the Illuminati.
And then They Blamed a man name Albert Pike for the root of the Lies in the Zeitgeist movie. The video Went on to post quotes By albert Pike Making him Look like a "Luciferian" and a Secret War Mongerer. And guess what? They video supported no evidence for it's claims. So i decided, As any good researcher does, To find the quotes in their Original Context and to find out if the quotes actually Existed. Well I found a book Online Where some of the quotes came from. And I found A lot of the quotes stated in the video were taken out of context. The book is found here: http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/apikefr.html
If you actually take the time to Read some of the book, It is nothing Like the Albert Pike Portrayed all over the Internet.
This is what Any good researcher does: If you find a quote or a claim. Go and find out for yourself what is what By going to the Original source.
