Paul Nadon – The secret history of freemasonry
I´ve read a book by Paul Nadon, who tries to convince us that freemasonry is innocent, but when you think about it, it shows that freemasonry isn’t innocent at all (and the information in the book isn´t really that “secret”)...
I’m not sure whether the presented “history” is more factual of “speculative”, but it gave me a better understanding of freemasonry (which doesn’t mean much as I´m nothing near an expert on freemasonry).
According to Nadon, freemasonry in many ways is in imitation of the builders of Rome – masons, carpenters, builders and architects. He explains that these “masons” were in a hierarchical, secretive organisation.
Nadon also argues that freemasonry was founded on the foundation of the Knights Templars, after they were dissolved in 1312 (Templar knights went to Scotland to become freemasons).
According to Nadon, the English “freemason” is derived from “frank-mason” (because supposedly the subjects in the Kingdom of the Franks were “free”).
Nadon argues that freemasonry has always been close to the Christian Catholic church, while contradicting himself because workers joined the “Brotherhood” so they could become independent from the church. This also seems to contradict the fact that Jews were/are freemasons.
Nadon argues that people joined the “Brotherhood” so they could become independent from the Royal families, including tax exemption, while contradicting himself that Royals were often freemasons themselves or appointed the (Grand)masters of the masonic lodges.
The Grandmaster rank was often hierarchical.
What makes it all less than innocent...
First going back to the Roman masons, the most important buildings were places of worship and for armies. They were involved in building strong buildings for protection and offensive weapons as well, like catapults.
Nadon writes that modern freemasonry is “speculative”, instead of “operative” when masons were (only) involved in building activities.
When you combine this with the assualt on science, this “speculative” way of thinkering has actually taken over evidence-based science to destroy (genuine) science.
Freemasonry from its foundation in the 14th century was built on legal procedures, which means that every high level freemason is basically (also) a lawyer.
Freemasons have the obligation to follow orders from their hierarchical leaders and to help, give charity to their fellow brothers.
When these freemasons become judges, attorneys, and politicians (lawmakers) it becomes apparent that our legal system can and will be used against us.

Paul Nadon has also written that the 2 Saint John’s were/are patron saints of freemasonry - St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist.
Current day freemasonry came primarily from northern England and Scotland where the Saints John were common among the Stonemason Guilds.
See the Masonic depiction of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist.

Some argue that freemasonry is descended from the Druids and other ancient Celtic priesthoods of the sun and isn’t really about God, but all about worshipping the Sun. This is supported by the fact that the feast days for St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist are 24 June and 27 December respectively (just after the the summer and winter solstices, also note that the December celebration is one day after Christmas).
St. John the Baptist, was supposedly a cousin to Jesus Christ, who predicted the coming of the Messiah.
St. John the Baptist’s day, has been celebrated yearly by the Grand Lodge of England since 1717.
St. John the Evangelist is even more important as he is one of the 4 supposed writers of the New Testament. His yearly feast was instated some time after 1717.
In his Epistles, St. John the Evangelist supposedly describes how the Word and the Light are inevitably linked to each other and to Truth and Love.
In another freemasonic picture, the Point represents an individual brother and the Circle the boundary line of his duty. This Circle is embordered by 2 perpendicular parallel lines, representing St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist; upon the top rest the Holy Scriptures.

The Saints John were also referred to in Templar records.
