"Freemasonry is not a religion, it is a kind of secret society in the early days of its establishment, and there is no requirement for whether the applicant has a religious belief or what religious background it is, and adult men with no disabilities who hold various religious beliefs are allowed to join, but the applicant must be a theist, who can be a Jew, Christian, Hindu, etc., and believe in the existence of a God."

Rose said solemnly: "The most powerful thing in this world is faith, whether it is the Christian Holy See or the Freemasons, they have more than eighty percent of the absolute resources and connections, and even the country is their pawn!" ”

Wu Tianyuan deeply understands this, although he and Andrew have met once, the mystery in him deeply shocks him. Since he has special abilities, the world is so big, there must be more extraordinary people.

"Freemasonry theism is clearly a successor to the religious ideas of the Gnosticism, which is the general term for the various Hellenistic sects that fought against Christianity during the open period of Christianity. It flourished in the 1st century AD, collapsed in the 4th century due to Christian pressure, and the remaining power became a secret religion. In addition to Gnostic thought, Freemasonry also included elements of the Kabbalah, the esoteric philosophy of Judaism, and Latin alchemy, which emerged around the 13th century. ”

By embracing theological ideals, Freemasonry initiated the Enlightenment and in less than 50 years rapidly spread to Western Europe, Central Europe, and North America, establishing a vast system that rivaled the Catholic Church. Voltaire, Montesquieu, Goethe, Haydn, Beethoven, Marquis de Sade, Mozart, Frederick the Great, Washington, Franklin, Mark Twain, Conan Doyle, Garibaldi, and countless Freemasons shine like stars in the night of modern Western history. ”

"After almost 1,300 years of secrecy, the Catholic Church is once again facing a formidable challenge that terrifies the Holy See. In 1738, Pope Clemens 12 decreed that Catholics were forbidden to join Freemasonry, and violators were excommunicated from the Church. After the 18th century, the Holy See has been committed to suppressing Freemasonry, and relations between the two sides are still not very good. ”

"In addition to the famous Founding Fathers Washington and Benjamin Franklin, at least eight of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence were confirmed in the United States. There were at least 10 signatories of the first U.S. Constitution of 1781, at least 9 of the 40 signatories of the 1789 U.S. Constitution, at least 63 of Washington's 31 generals, and at least 10 of the 30 governors of the 13 states of the British North American colonies. There have been at least 15 U.S. presidents. ”

"The Ford family is a long-time member of the Freemasons since the first generation of Henry, and has relied on the support of the Freemasons to overcome several crises. And he's an authentic Jewish branch, and I don't know what happened to it! ”

Wu Tianyuan pondered for a while before he finished digesting the huge impact, and said in a deep voice: "Your consciousness that this batch of Jewish treasures will cause a conflict between the two major families? ”

"Conflict?" Ross laughed and said: "Boss, they are not a conflict, Germany and Judea are a blood feud!" The most fundamental purpose of Hitler's madman in starting World War II was to exterminate the Jews! Now the two camps are still-for-tat, but they are just playing in the air. ”

"And what's the attitude of the Vatican?"

Rose shook his head and said helplessly: "As the most powerful Holy See, I wish they were fighting each other and consuming their strength, so that their position would be more stable." In fact, it is not so complicated, as long as the Jewish treasure is auctioned all over the world, two people must be there, and every time it is auctioned for a sky-high price. But they are very low-key and don't like the outside world to know, so private auctions are most suitable. ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at Ross with satisfaction and was impressed by him, this guy is very clever and can be regarded as a good helper.

"Good job! Help me privately acquire the shares of other shareholders, I want absolute control! After the deed is completed, you will be given 5% of the shares, and you will have money to earn together! ”

Watching Rose leave excitedly, Wu Tianyuan leaned on the sofa and thought about his next step, he didn't expect such a complicated relationship. But now that we know it, we have to adjust our plans for the future, especially the discovery of religious treasures, which is very sensitive and must be dealt with well.

After the Opium Wars, with the influx of foreign merchants and troops, Freemasons also opened port cities along the coast of China under trade treaties. These Masonic lodges were established by the General Freemasons of various countries, the vast majority of which came from Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Massachusetts in the United States, and later Freemasonry in the Philippines.

Although the modern Hongmen adopts the same symbol and English name as Freemasonry, the two are independent of each other. The origin of Hongmen and Freemasonry can be found in Cai Shaoqing's book, Hongmen and Freemasonry.

China's most famous members are Yan Jiagan, Jiang Weiguo, and Li Ka-shing, each of whom represents a powerful force, mysterious and low-key.

In 1786, a book appeared in Germany called "The Secret of the World Political System", written by a Weimar city official, who claimed that Freemasonry, the Illuminati and the Jesuits were secretly plotting world-wide revolutions in order to establish a world government. Three years later, the French Revolution broke out, the French royal family was overthrown, and the king was executed, seemingly confirming the book's prophecy.

By the mid-19th century, the Morgan affair had sparked the anti-Masonic movement in the United States. William Morgan, a bricklayer, joined Freemasonry in New York, but because he could not escalate his resentment, he declared that he would make the secrets of Freemasonry public in the local newspaper.

This betrayal infuriated the Freemasons, and soon the local newspaper office was set on fire, and Morgan was imprisoned for being accused of defaulting on a large debt. On November 11, 1826, a man claiming to be a friend of Morgan's went to the police station to release Morgan on bail and take him away, and he has not been seen since.

Morgan's disappearance quickly escalated the incident, and more and more people joined the movement to protest against Freemasonry. Since most bankers, judges, wealthy businessmen, and politicians were Freemasons, this added to the unease and anxiety of the people at the bottom.

New Yorkers began rallying to ban Freemasons from the government system, and the movement soon merged with the anti-Jackson presidential political campaign, as he was also a Freemason. They founded the Anti-Masonic Party and elected presidential candidates in 1828 and 1832. Due to a lack of support, the party soon died out.

After the rise of the National Socialist movement in Germany, the Nazi Party saw Freemasonry as a secret organization of Jewish plots to rule the world, and on August 17, 1935, all Freemasonry houses in the occupied territories of Germany during World War II were outlawed, and their members were arrested and sent to concentration camps, at which point nearly 100,000 Freemasons were reportedly exterminated. At the same time, Nazi Germany began to massively propagate the machinations of Freemasonry and Jews in the occupied territories.

However, some researchers believe that Hitler was a member of the Freemasonry in Europe, and that World War II was carried out by the top Freemasons at Hitler's signal to gain more control of the world. It was this that led to the subsequent class division between Freemasonry in Europe and Freemasonry in the Americas, and Hitler himself became a victim of the Freemasonic War. (To be continued.) )
