Free Masons, a secret society?

They have a centre on Tuckey Street in Cork. What kind of group is it? What do they stand for?

A secret society, hiding in plain sight!
Those clever, clever wee bastárds!

Haha very good. Apparently over the last 300 years they have had very influential people as members.

Hardly secret. You can take a tour around the Dublin Grand Lodge.

Yes but at the same time what do you know about them? They keep most things hush hush.

Afaik Boards.ie is one of their better known public off shoots

It's all odd signatures and peculiar views ...

We...

I mean they really don't.
The veil of mystery around the masons has been lifted a long time.
That they have had many influential members...
So has my local golf club, should I berate their membership policy?
Or assume they are Illuminati?

Don't have a high enough class of friend to arrange my invite

Apparently you have 33 degrees/stage of free masonry and are give a secret code word for each degree. They have bizarre initiation ceremonies for each degree.

My Golf Club has that...
Lower your handicap, the better your seat in the clubhouse!!!!

To quote Dan Brown the Masons are not a secret society, they are a society with secrets

Does being a member offer advantage in the business world? Presume that is a core element, that you make important contacts if you are part of the “club.”

rockatansky · 23-06-2019 1:01pm

Just a group for men who want to get away from the wife and kids for a few hours a week. They raise funds for charity every so often so nobody can complain about them!

My Golf Club also has that...
And 36 levels of "specialness"!

Masonry is probably a much cheaper holiday, and you have the benefit of the altruism of their charity work...
If anyone has an in for the north Limerick masonic lodge, hit me up?
I feel I have much to offer the community and seek the friendship and acceptance of like minded sword wielding, apron wearing individuals!

Much more fun than a wet day on a GC!!

Harvey Weinstein · 23-06-2019 1:08pm

Apparently nothing much to speak about at the lower levels, a club basically, but the highest level (33rd degree) is the subject of all the conspiracy theories

Check out Simon Covenys handshakes anytime he meets dignitaries

I don't know what a Masonic handshake looks like but allegedly his fit the bill

Only way to join is to be the son of a Freemason or save the life of one

No according to YouTube, they screen you first. If you have a wife/partner, they have a sit down with her, as a lot of your free time will be used up in their club.

Don't go near them. They are supposed to be as bad as the fairies. Please be careful.

Who rigs every Oscar night?

Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?

We do! We. Do.

Are they as bad as the "KNIGHTS" or OPUS DEI?.

SnakePlissken · 23-06-2019 9:44pm

By all accounts theyre fairly harmless, a boys club for rich older men who are bored of their wives and children...

Sajid Javid · 23-06-2019 10:21pm

Lovely shower altogether until God starts talking directly to them.

I made you a secret video, don't tell the Freemasons.

There was a documentary a few years ago on them in the UK.

The fly on the wall could only go as far as the closed door on most occasions as they conducted their secret ceremonies.

We're always on the lookout for "fresh" blood.....

Nikki Sixx · 01-07-2019 6:39am

You are given secret codes for each level you rise to in the organization apparently.

Dr Strange · 01-07-2019 7:24am

Remove the Stone of Shame!

Attach the Stone of Triumph!

OP, if you do get invited to join make sure to bring a second pair of underwear with you. &#55357;&#56841;

Herself had a couple of uncles Masons, it does tend to be more of a Protestant thing around here, but it's open to respectable men of goodwill and of all faiths. Also, gran-daddy bought a big-block Dodge off them for a-runnin' the whiskey.

whisky_galore · 01-07-2019 8:31am

The Catholic church and IRA back in the day used hate Freemasons, the church thought they were devil worshippers and the RA liked smashing up their meeting places.

Not True, I'm afraid. We are not allowed to recruit! However, if you know one and would like to join, just ask.

Which is ironic, as there are Catholics in Freemasonry. I'm a member and a Catholic.

Definitely not. It's good for networking in a general way, but it is frowned upon if this would be your motive for joining.

Completely false! If you want to join, just ask one of us. We cannot recruit.

I reckon Peter Sutherland was grooming Coveney to become Suds mk 2 before he died.

I've been in it, it looked like Harry Potter did their interior design.

D3V!L · 08-10-2020 7:44am

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do!
Who robs cave-fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do!
We do!

Just don't go spilling any of their secrets like the late William Morgan!

Notable members of Propaganda Due

Giulio Andreotti
Silvio Berlusconi
Roberto Calvi
Maurizio Costanzo
Umberto Ortolani
Angelo Rizzoli
Vito Miceli
Emilio Eduardo Massera ( organiser of the Argentinian Coup D'etat of 1978 )

Irish Freemasonry is basically a gang of decent phuckers hanging around Molesworth street twice or three times a year ( thrice ). Anyone who reckons it is any more sinister than that is really a clueless fantasist who needs to get a grip.

Yeah if there is nothing to hide, then why are they hiding the meetings and ceremonies and members list.
Everything is streamed live now, get with the times, masons.

Trust me please, this is all that happens.

Free Masons, a secret society?
