Freemasons fixed inquiry into Titanic to protect Establishment, claims secret archive

Freemasons fixed inquiry into Titanic to protect Establishment, claims secret archive that lists two million members - including Winston Churchill - and reveals secretive group of elites ruled society for 200 years

* Probe into tragedy that killed 1,500 people cleared most of those involved
* Archive of Freemasons containing two million names set to be published
* It contains the names of royalty, statesmen, judges and military top brass
* Will reveal the scale of Masonic influence at all levels of British society

EXCERPT:

Freemasons dominated the inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic and may have allowed Establishment figures to escape blame, it was claimed last night.

---

Now the publication of a secret archive of Freemasons – containing two million names of members from 1733 to 1923 – reveals the scale of Masonic involvement across the highest echelons of British society.

The archive contains the names of three kings, statesmen, judges, military top brass and bishops.

Experts believe it could lead to a re-examination of almost 200 years of British history, revealing the scale of Masonic influence at all levels of British society when the UK was one of the world’s most powerful countries.

And publish their list of members every year.

Calling the Masons a secret organization is the height of absurdity.

The judge who oversaw the inquiry, leading investigators and the ship’s company chairman were involved in Masonic activity

EXCERPT:

A secret list containing the names of two million Freemasons may have revealed an inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic was influenced by the organisation.

The archives, published by genealogy site Ancestry, reveal many people involved in a British investigation into the tragedy, including the judge who oversaw the inquiry, its leading investigators and the chairman of the ship’s parent company, participated in Masonic activity, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Diane Clements, director of the Library and Museum of Freemasonry, told The Telegraph: “The records demonstrate the extensive involvement which freemasons have had in British society.”

Names cited in the records include Lord Mersey, the judge who oversaw the inquiry and spared the British Board of Trade from blame in the disaster, despite the board being held responsible for the lack of lifeboats on the vessel in a separate US Senate inquiry.

and it has been to society's ill that they have waned. Widows and Orphans funds that helped masonic families if the male died; reading; the enlightenment; other charitable giving. I am pretty sure the masons on this board can give a lot of history of the masons than I ever could.

There are christian masons, secular masons, pagan masons, etc. Different lodges have different emphasis and a male can find one that he may like. There is co-masonry in Denver, which is both male and female. I think the mason's will have to change with the times and allow women to become members.

Runs right after the expose showing how Washington, D.C. is all configured on a 'secret' Masonic plan, and how the US Dollar Bill was designed by Masons in order to bring about the "New World Order". Conspiracy theory plus plus.

and I'm sure the corporate types covered each other's asses as they do everywhere, but the Mason's seem more of a social club now. Members must be male and not African American. A good friend of mine is the Head "Pooh Bear" at the neighborhood lodge. I love him to death, but he has a terminal case of white man's disease. Men from any religion and from any continent except Africa may join. I threaten to sue him so I can join, take control the costumes and make the ceremonies more entertaining.
