Your web page is fascinating but I see a problem. If you are right, you may have incured the wrath of a dangerous group. If you are wrong, then you have slandered a noble institution. My theory is as follows: Either you are right, in which case the Mason's will kill you as you claim that they did several well guarded people, OR you are a liar, in which case you will live untouched. I shall read the newspapers daily searching for information to confirm or disprove the theory.

Subject: Welcome to ALT.FREEMASONRY

Alt.freemasonry (on USENET) is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of freemasonry.

It is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of *anything* that the masons want. This freedom does not however apply to nonmasons.

Nonmasons are only allowed to ask short questions and are required to accept whatever response is given to them by the Masons.

If they persist in their questioning they will suddenly start receiving unsolicited e-mails from Masons in this newsgroup seeking their personal identity, address, and telephone number.

One of the many "e-m@sons" who does this regularly is "MasonTruth".

They say that they need this information to have a lodge in their area contact you to answer your "concerns".

In reality this is nothing more than intimidation and veiled threats.

This is normally enough to scare off the inquiring "cowan".

This is what is really going on in that newsgroup.

BROTHERLY LOVE From: MasonTruth@aol.com To: 33@myself.com Subject: Freemasonry Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2001 13:40:34 EDT Dear Sir, In your entire trash site you have not shown any proof to your accusations. I will admit that you put much work into your site and I admire that. Seems as if you were either a Masonic Orphan and dad was gone to a few too many meetings or you were turned down for membership.. For whatever reasons you dislike Masons I find your entire site to be nothing more than a bunch of hogwash and lies. Opinion does not make fact and your site proves just that. Besides a true and good man stands behis(sic) convictions with a name and affiliation. You take the cowardly approach which is more proof that your site has no credibility... Sincerely, Bro. Manny Blanco, S.W. Moreno Valley Lodge # 804 Moreno Valley, CA Jurisdiction of G.L. of CA. "Ask A Friend or a Neighbor Why He Isn't a Mason."

Freemasonry uses cult tactics to intimidate its critics into silence.

If this fails, the alt.freemasonry enforcers will use their network in the industry to identify the poster and then the rest of the "brethren" will deluge this questioners i.s.p. with fraudulent accusations about alleged harrassment for "denigrating" their "gentle brotherhood" by refusing to accept their "truthful answers".

This has happened time after time after time in that newsgroup.

That is why so many of the posters who are critical of freemasonry use anonymous posting blinds to hide their personal information.

Masons will use anything and do anything to "get a grip" on their perceived enemies.

You do not believe?

Then try it and see how quickly you lose your e-mail accounts and isp services.

Later these "moral men" will even boast of their conquests in that newsgroup.

This is the real face of Masonry and is repeated every day throughout the land on the internet, as well as in business, political, personal, and social life.

Freemasonry is a danger to freedom of expression and it gives only lip service to the law and constitution.

The 'Examination of a Visitor' portion of this page was posted in January of 2001 by someone in the usenet newsgroup alt.freemasonry and received the following veiled threat of bodily and deadly injury towards the webmaster of this site in a post by the Freemason 'SSG Russo'.

Just another unbelievable example of the violent temper, "zeal for the fraternity" - and mindlessness - of "Active" Freemasonry.

The foolish and ignorant anti who produced this is in error. A due examination includes more than grips and words. You must walk the Tilers sword and pass HIS examination.

As you have so denoted, many of the secrets of Masonry have been divulged, therefore the examinations are more stringent, being necessary to weed out those unworthy professing to be Masons.

May the GAOTU exact due retribution upon your soul for divulging Masonic information in such a manner, and for the sole purpose of being mean spirited.

May you find yourself paying due penance in the afterlife, as one unworthy to enter the gates of Heaven.

May your inability to hold your tongue leave you without one, where it shall be buried in the sands of the sea, between low and high tides--an unholy place preventing future repentance and entrance into heaven.

May your heart be eaten by buzzards, and other predatory birds. May the remainder of your viscera be taken and burned and scattered over vast distances.

Such is the holy and noble curse I may place upon you. May your nightmares come true.

Ah ha :-) "Watchy" in disguise!

Nice try "Watchy" to promote your anti-masonic propaganda as a masonic resource
lol.

Now let's see .... you have a site in which you have copied and published (in clear breach of copyright), the Emulation Ritual Book published by the committee of the Emulation Lodge of Improvement in England.

You've even left the preface intact, in which it states that this book has been produced by them!!

I wonder if copyright violation is an offence in Canada "Watchy"?

You've even put in links to where you claim you will publish a copy of UGLE's Book of Constitutions. I can't help but notice that all you have actually completed is the ritual. Are all those rules and regulations too boring to copy?

For the benefit of newbies to this newsgroup, you can read a resume about the *totally*anonymous* person describing himself as "Freemasonry Watch" on the following web pages:-

Naw.... Just a cheap imitation, I'd think. Heck, this one even uses a web page with his name (Bryan Stevens!). Just not our Vancouver library thief's style....

Birds of a feather, though....

It's hosted on a UK service so one would think it'd be even easier....

It will doubtless come in handy if I lose my ritual book, I take it
the 'abbreviations' page is the humour section?

The web site where this material was originally posted was dead by Dec 13, 2001, a span of only 3 weeks since the author, who at great trouble, published this material after inheriting it from a deceased ex-mason relative who had run afoul of his "brothers" and was abandoned by them.

Every web site that exposes or criticizes Freemasonry that uses the large free web site hosts has been shut down after co-ordinated complaint campaigns by freemasonry.

This has happened to Freemasonry Watch twice so far.

Note well the vicious and slanderous personal attacks they make.

But Freemasonry is responsible for, and promotes, 'Liberty' right?
