Masons Publicly DENY That Masonry is a Political Organization, or a Relgion.
Masons say SECRETLY that Masonry is NOT a Political Organization, or Relgion. Let the following Facts speak for themselves to this statement.
Quote from the Masonic Bible (1955)
"The impact of Freemasonry on our democratic institutions has been more forceful than it is possible to estimate, grater by far, perhaps, than any other influence upon American life, except that of Christianity.
Quite certainly this influence was given very positive and far-reaching power through the statesmanship and official services of these Presidents who counted it a high privilege and blessing to be numbered among themembers of the Fraternity."
Masons today, OFTEN only acknowledge the following leaders as brothers.
15 Presidents, 18 Vice Presidents, 38 Supreme Court Justices
when there have been at least,
25 Presidents, 25 Vice Presidents, 43 Supreme Court Justices
What motive could Masons have for not wanting to appear to have such a large number of Masons in the United States Government?

Many Federal Senators and Congressmen have also been Masons.
The State Governments have also been filled with Masonic
members from the earliest days of America.
Large amounts of control over The Government, Laws, Media,
and Publishing and allow the Masonic Order to re-write or EDIT History.
Capt. William Morgan of New York, who was murdered by Masons
for exposing the secrets of Masonry has been reduced to a
kidnapping on 9/11/1826
Interestingly enough, after 09/19/1826 Morgan was never seen
alive again.
A Mason later confessed to Killing Morgan, while in the
company of two other Masons.
This caused the Anti-Masonic Political Party to form, as the
public became outraged at the Masons ability to cover up crime, and
avoid justice by USING all of the Masons who where in Government and
everywhere else including publishing. Little has changed today.
Sins Masons commit when they Join the Lodge.
( Morgans description of the First Three degrees of the Blue
Loge, http://www.truevine.net/~forchrist@truevine.net/IllInMas.htm)
1) Worship Other Gods. (Exo 20:3)
2) Wear an white apron made of lambskin to cover their Sin ( Gen 3:7 )
3) Worship the creature "man" more than the creator. ( Rom 1:25 )
4) Reject Christ as the Stone that has become the head of the Corner.
( Mat 12:41-42 )
5) Practice "Ancient" Secret (curious) arts ( Acts 19:19, Col 2:8-9 )
6) Worship in a Synagogue built backwards from Solomon’s.
( Ezk 8:16, Rev 2:9 )
7) Given a new Name by their new Master ( Isa 62:2 )
8) Serve and call men Master who are not Christ, God.
( Mat 23:8-10, Mat 24:4-5 )
9) Take oaths (Blood oaths where they expect to be killed if broken)
( Mat 5:33-37 )
10) Call men their brothers who Reject Christ. ( Mat 12:50,

[#4] : Ronald Reagan-- Jim Shaw reports that President Reagan
was brought into the Lodge while in office. The official Masonic
line is, "President Reagan is not a Freemason although he is an
honourary member of the Imperial Council of the Shrine. President
Reagan has on numerous occasions been involved in Shrine and Masonic
functions throughout his career. In the Oval Office of the White
House on February 11th, 1988, when a group of Freemasons
presented President Reagan with a certificate of honour from the Grand
Lodge of Washington, D.C., then he was made an Honourary
Scottish Rite mason." It was at this event that Jim Shaw
claims that "a world famous evengelist" was also oathed
into Masonic degrees. Jim Shaw was iced shortly after
publishing his claims in a book.
[#5] : George W Bush (1968) admitted to being a Bonesman in
his autobiography: "My senior year [at Yale University] I joined
Skull and Bones, a secret society, so secret, I can't say anything
more.
" Bush Painting is hung up in the skull's temple 5ft.
Bush father is a SKULL & BONES member also.

While not President, the highest ranking elected government
official who is a Mason is currently Dick Cheney,
Vice President of United States, a member of
Cheyenne Lodge No. 1, Cheyenne, Wyoming
[7] The Virginia Masonic Journal, September, 1919, published
the following: "In a public address before a body of Masons at a
corner-stone laying a few years before his death,
John Tyler used these words 'It is not my good fortune
to belong to your (Masonic) society, or to any of a
kindred character' " (see also Bulletin, Dalcho Consistory,
Richmond, Virginia, March-April, 1915, quoted in above).
