Masonic Disinformation, Propaganda, Dissembling, and Hate Techniques

Masons have nearly predictable means and methods, often less than savory. Whether it's because they're pushing their ideas:

* In order to sell books.
* Rampant paranoia or hate.
* Their altered belief system (they think it will get them standing before the "Great White Throne" of the "Great Architect of the Universe" in the "Great White Lodge of Freemasonry" of Sirius, which they believe they will go to when they die if their masonic "work" has not been "slip-shod").
* Their In-Group World View has been so much altered that for practical purposes of debate they have diminished capacity, i.e. they have become insane.

Masons use many different tactics to support their position. To further their goals, they'll use books published by 'vanity' publishers who may be Masonic as well. They will claim that "Pro" writings about Masons or Masonry cannot be published by 'legitimate' publishers because they're all "Anti"-Masonically-controlled. (In reality, it's because their tracts fail to meet the 'standards' of research required by traditional publishers - but often Masonic Propaganda and Dissembling Specialists fails to let truth enter the discussion). In addition, there are "Open Houses" and "Parades" held in the United States each year gathering a small group of Masons. Web pages, sometimes thinly disguised as information about "Difficult Questions about Freemasonry", and postings to various online venues add to their constant stream of misinformation.

In this section, we talk about those who're visible in their Masonic activities (i.e., not hiding behind some on-line identity which changes frequently). We also provide a review of some internal inconsistencies in their arguments and offer some of our thoughts on responding to 'Masonic Disinformation Propagandists'.

The repertoire of techniques is varied but most involve simple deceit. Common tactics are listed below.

Change the Subject Guilt by Association
Using Different Standards If You Were ...
Refuse to Answer Outright Lies
Oft-Repeated Falsehoods Quibble over Semantics
Faulty Logic Assumptive Positions
Prove It! Straw Man
Behave More Like a Christian or a Non "Stupid Athiest"

Or perhaps yet another example of critcizing everyone else to a bloody pulp out of jealousy. Misery doth love company. Heaven forbid anyone else be content in their lifestyle because others are not.


Oooh, is that too ad hominem?

There's No1's soul to think about, don't you care?

Oh, I forgot that's why he's doing it. My bad dog.

Somehow I think No1 is in pretty good shape!

Go forth and be smiley-ly fruitful, my son.

No1 is Satan.

I care deeply, I care so deeply it hurts sometimes . But when life gets me down like this, I can take solace by remembering that there is caring, life afirming, superior (in his own mind I supose), being who is willing to point out all of the worlds flaws, everyones flaws, your flaws and mine, and I know that these flaws can be overcome by looking to him, and living like him, for our flaws are nothing more than our divergences from his one true path.

So brothers and sisters I ask you, when faced with the moral dillemas of this life, when confronted with the tough, important decisions ask your self one question.

What would rtwng do?

Sit in his basement, maybe kick out a substandard short story/fantasy if there's time.

Oooh, you're having a family reunion? Fun!

Jihad islam is dangerous too. Watch out for traffic. Don't eat yellow snow. Wipe back to front. My advice is sound. Repent, oh yeah, doubters of The Way.

BTW, Judgement is good. It's considered a sign of maturity. New Age crap is an attack on critical thought. The debating techniques of it's proponents are a testament to that.

My dad was a Freemason...A bunch of addled old kooks. And when he wasn't looking, I read their apocrypha, which simply comfirmed my opinion.

So, when's Atlantis gonna pop to the surface?

Get OVER yourself. You'll be more employable.

We're not new agers. No one said "don't say Jesus" or whatever your definition of new age was. We're just "relaxed". Well some of us.

In your opinion, what's worse, a new ager or a fake Christian?


This site has some useful information on several concepts. I didn't check it out with a fine tooth comb, but they seem legit enough.

Silly rabbit, don't you know politeness is patronization? Release all that creeps around the dark corners of your mind!
