What are your views about the Masons' activity in the world today? Do you think they are still active and in control of everything behind the scenes?

That's the Free Masons, and yes they are active, I know of a couple myself. There are quite a few secret societies still running.

Some things are really best left well alone.

Doesn't sound like something terrifying to me - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry Just another old boys club.

Its business men and politicians coming together. Sort of an extended golf club.

Yes, I am sure they are.

What? No, of course not.

You guys should read Dan Browns 'The Lost Symbol' - it is all about the Masons.

It's fictional, but based on real pieces of info (buildings, symbols etc).

Apology for following stupid questions -

Are these free masons and that illuminati the same thing ? I am stumped ?

The free masons is something I've never been able to form an opinion on. Are they just a, as mentioned just a big boys clubs or they really nasty as some claim them to be !?

Well , i have been exposed to some of them , Meaning I was forced to witness some of their gatherings , they are also called shriners if im not mistaken, they do wear a weird dress that looks like full suit with a kilt , and some weird stuff on their chest , and they're prayers from what i have heard sound like stuff from the bible. I could be mistaken , I was actually involved in the catering of that event and flipping burgers for em.. Pretty arrogant folk actually , nobody really wanted to talk to the burger flipper

Maybe your burgers wern't as great as you thought, perhaps ?

oh no way , I was the fastest burger flipper handling that event 200 heads , 2 cooks and we lots of other stuff on the menu , If I wasnt good , i wouldnt have been assigned that task

Hmmm..fastest burger flipper, usually meaning raw, sloppy burgers ! Now the picture is very clear

When I've been at conferences or social networking events I say please and thank you to the food and drink staff, but I don't make conversation. I have plenty of conversation to make with those in the group I am there to meet with.

Here's the web site for the UK masons:

I've been to the Freemason's Hall (very grand building) in London for functions and did meet some freemasons - quite pleasant chaps as it turned out.

Question. Is the Federal Reserve managed by the Freemasons? Or at least by people who are Freemasons?

The list of their members seem to be all influential and famous people. Its strange that apparently free masons are involved in charity work , Somehow perhaps there has to be something more than that, Their rituals seems to be very elaborate and look more like a coronation ceremony of some kind.

I dont think so

It wouldnt surprise me if some managers/directors are members of the Freemasonery.

I really don't know about the masons and whether its the secret society that exercises great power and control in the world today. I doubt the federal reserve is controlled by them - what is strange about the Fed vs other monetary authorities & central banks in the world is that it is a wholly private institution - it doesn't get audited and congress has no power over them - so its a bit autonomous and shady in that respect.

Doesnt get Audited ? Then how does the administration know what they are doing is right or wrong ?

Joe, that is what I know about the Federal Reserve, and I think that since the U.S. government has no authority over it, and still needs it to fund it's campaigns, such as war, it put the government in a very shady area as well. What do you think?
