Wild Conspiracies and Diabolical Theories

Is Freemasonry the source and cause of numerous conspiracies, if not just conspiracy theories? Are they truly a vehicle of evil and corruption, conspirators of the coming New World Order? Are they the face of the sinister Illuminati, which is supposedly behind all these diabolical schemes? And are they really atheists that have evil motives, or who worship the Devil? Or are these claims just a lot of radical conspiracy theories, advocated by doomsayers and skeptics and troublemakers?

Although some of the main objectives of the Fraternity of Freemasons were to serve society and the spiritual development of oneself, it was persecuted throughout the centuries, whether from political activists, royalty, conspiracy theorists, or the Roman Catholic Church. Countless Freemasons were persecuted by the Inquisition in the beginning. Even in our current times the Catholic Church harshly denounces Freemasonry by an inquisition type organization called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In fact, from the early 1700s on, the church banned any and all Catholics from joining the Freemason's Fraternity, or such individuals would be excommunicated. Likewise, Freemasonry was banned in Russia and most of Europe, although at different time periods.

After the French Revolution, anti-Masonic propaganda spread rampantly, accusing Freemasons of causing the Revolution in order to overthrow the government and the Church. This coincided with other conspiracies of Freemasons and Jews instigating world domination, which was a common theme in the shocking and controversial document called, "Protocols of the Wise Elders of Zion." This strange document was considered to be a hoax, although many people feared it to be valid, for within its appalling text it clearly illustrated realistic implications and a diabolical agenda to create a New World Order.

Likewise, the theory evolved that members of the Bavarian Illuminati Order had infiltrated into the Fraternity of Freemasons in the late 1700s, in order to use them as a vehicle to initiate the New World Order. This is clearly how the Illuminati conspiracy theories evolved, and to this day people still fear this is a reality, while others claim this is just more absurd conspiracy theorization.

Also there are theories stating that Freemasons have a political agenda to seek public office in various countries; for example, the American Presidency and the office of British Prime Minister, for the sole purpose of devising takeovers of these imperious countries and eventually instigate world domination, to create a new social order across the globe.

These types of conspiracy theories in most cases have no basis in reality, and are totally absurd. Yet the Freemasons have been scarred by such claims and accusations, no matter how false they may be.

Many conspiracy theorists claim the Freemasons along with the Bavarian Illuminati instigated the French Revolution, which spanned from 1787 to 1799. Their diabolical agenda evidently was to overthrow the monarchy of King Louis XVI as well as the Catholic Church, with intentions to begin their new social order, first across Europe, if not beyond. However, this is nothing new. The ancient Roman Empire was yet an early attempt at such a new world order.

Likewise, the Freemasons supposedly started and controlled the Revolution of the Colonies against Great Britain, which is quite possible. However, whereas most believe the aim was simply independence from a tyrannical nation, conspiracy theorists claim the Freemasons desired to create a brand-new social order in this new nation, with them in control, something on the lines of a developing New World Order.

Unfortunately, a particular lodge of the Freemasons caused further distress for the whole Fraternity. The Grand Orient of France in 1877 rewrote its constitutions which removed all reference to God, and hence atheists were allowed in this lodge's membership. Many of the other Masonic lodges quickly disconnected from the Grand Orient of France. Primarily belief in the Creator was and still is the foundation of Freemason spirituality. However, as a result of this radical incident, the Catholic Church accused Freemasons of denying the existence of God and worshiping Satan instead. Likewise, the Fraternity was once again accused of an overthrow of religion and government, leading to world domination. These claims never subsided, because even in later years Fundamentalist Christians have and still insist that Freemasonry is a tool of the Devil, that its purpose is to thwart Christianity and the plan of Salvation. This accusation, incidentally, seems to be attached to many of the New Age groups as well, or any mystical schools involving esoteric teachings.

There was another sad day in Freemasonic history, but as much as the facts seem certain, there are still questions. In the early 1800s in New York, a Freemason by the name of William Morgan, who was banned from the Fraternity at some point for nefarious behavior apparently, decided to publish a book revealing crucial secrets, especially the primary three degrees of Freemasonry. Before it could get published, he was kidnapped and eventually he disappeared altogether. Soon a body was discovered, washed up onto the shores of Lake Ontario, presumed to be Morgan's, although it was gruesomely decomposed and difficult to identify. A group of Freemasons were soon accused of Morgan's abduction. The problem is that Morgan violated his Masonic oath that the Fraternity solemnly enforces upon new members, which states that if the member ever reveals the secrets of the Fraternity, this one will suffer a heinous death. Some say this is symbolic in their rituals, not to be taken literal.

Eventually Morgan's book was still published, called Illustrations of Masonry, and became a bestseller. However, a question arises. Did Morgan actually reveal true Freemasonic secrets in this book, or was it mere disinformation? And was his abduction and disappearance a hoax? And was the body found, the identity of whom was inconclusive, part of the whole scheme? Or was it exactly as it seemed to be? The whole matter could have been a wild hoax and just another way to circulate disinformation. We may never know.

However, even if a particular historical event of damaging proportions may have actually occurred, shedding a negative slant on the whole Fraternity, or any spiritual group or tradition, matters can easily grow way out of proportion as wild conspiracy theories that spread like wildfire.
