Been here since the beginning and still have not seen a definitive answer on this. The idea that black hats/satanists were behind it has been around for several hundred year. Ultimately though this is the revolution that forced the Payseurs out of France. I've heard the Romanov's and white hat masons were behind it though and that is my current stance on this.
Yeah I agree. The masons were formed in 1717 (according to google) and I don't think they were comped until they started to gain a lot of influence, which I agree was probably during that time period. Even Q confirmed there are good freemasons such as our founding fathers.
Thanks anon, I had heard that at some point from some jesuit source I believe, possibly Alberto Rivera. He claimed the jesuits were behind the scottish rite, that timeline lines up nicely with their founding in 1801, and from what I've read about them they seem completely black hat.
Albert Pike was scottish rite. I feel like scottish rite needs a dig, we've been treating freemasonry like a monolithic organization when it clearly has many divisions.
Damn I started reading the wikipedia on it and they start off trying to debunk any connections to jesuits and jacobins, definitely needs more digging.
It seems freemasonry went toward the Scottish Rite with Albert Pike, then toward increasingly elite and satantic groups like Skull and Bones. If you read Neon Revolt he had a big article on Albert Pikes role in founding them.
