People love the Shriners. They do great charity work for children with disabilities, fundraise children’s hospitals, wear funny fez hats and make
great clownish parades.
So why are Masons or Freemasons not equally admired and accepted?
After all, you have to have passed through the 3 levels of freemasonry before you are eligible to apply for Shriner membership. (See http://www.ben-ali-shriners.org/Want2be.htm)
And the truth shall set you free. Knowledge is power. George Orwell's central premise in Animal Farm and 1984 was that the ability to remember the recent and distant past is crucial to a society’s freedom. It is the only restraint on government ambitions or other plots. Such amnesia is rampant today in North America and beyond. So this blog is here to add some historical perspective and remind people of forgotten truths.
