Freemasonry is a secret society that aims to spiritually develop its members. While aspects are kept secret, it is considered a society with secrets rather than a secret society. To join, one must know a lodge member or complete an information request form. Benefits of joining include business connections and preferential treatment for positions of power, which some Masons have used to influence government and military. The society has a long history and many famous past members, but some believe Freemasonry aims to exert secret control.

What is Freemasonry?

As we all know, Freemasonry is one of the most important secret societies which have appeared since the ancient times, as some historians believe. Nowadays, this society is known as a male fraternity dedicated to the spiritual development of the iniate into a broader sense of the self, how he relates to the Divine, and his contributory role in the world.

Why are Freemasons so Secretive?


Being supposed to be a secret, many masons will choose not to answer questions about the fraternity. A common reaction to this idea is that Freemasonry is a Society with Secrets, rather than a Secret Society. There are aspects to Freemasonry that are kept and told only to those who pass the initiations and ceremonies, in order to keep them in a perspective meaning.

How does somebody become a Mason?


Im sure that most of us have heard about 2B1ASK1. If you dont know a member of a lodge, you can complete the request for information form and someone will contact you regarding membership, but only after youre ready to join.

Is it desirable to join the Lodge?


The main argument for joining consist in establishing strong ties with other men, a sense of camaraderie with Masonic Brothers. Other aspects that have to be taken into account are business connections: Masons will more likely do business with other masons. More than that, Masons hold considerable power worldwide, and positions of power in government and military are awarded to brother masons.

New World Order


George W. Bush stated in a State of the Union address in 1991, What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea-a new world order. According to Prince Philip, depopulation is a key part of this plan: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation".

Conclusion
As I exhibited in my study, Freemasonry's real impact on America is richer and more significant than anything that speculation would hold. You can see that the American history was written by important freemasons like Benjamin Franklin or George Washington and it is still being written by nowadays freemasons. This being said, I will sum up my piece of work by expressing my point of view towards Freemasonry. Even though freemasons say they are nothing more than a brotherhood who meet regularly for spiritual and intellectual enlightenment, and conduct all kind of charitable activities, through my eyes Freemasonry remains not an occult organization, but more like a powerful one that is addicted to control.
