So the Freemasons are just an innocent group of friendly golfer
types
who get together to talk shop, and help each other in business.
Sort of
a "gentleman's club," if you will. Right? Then why is the
British
Government so WORRIED about Freemasons, and forcing the judges,
police, and EVEN PRISON GUARDS to come clean about their
involvement
in the ancient society?! The BBC is reporting that the Masons
have
bowed to pressure to name names!
And so they have. About five to six percent of the judges,
magistrates, justices of the peace, etc., are now admitting
Masonic
membership.
Why IS the British government so paranoid about Masons? GOOD
QUESTION. Apparently, there have been several nasty law
enforcement
scandals lately, including one about a special police unit (97
members
strong) called the "West Midlands Serious Crimes Squad" that was
formed to investigate terrorist bombings. It was disbanded
because of
corruption, and for operating outside the law with things like a
"shoot-to-kill" policy in Northern Ireland. Internal affairs
investigators found that the one thing that ties these scandals
together is Freemasonry!
On the other hand, maybe those poor masons are just being
unfairly
scapegoated. Is it really fair that to become a police officer
in the
UK, you have to admit your Masonic affiliation? Ha ha ha.
