This is a fine documentary about Freemasonic history by Juri Lina, also the author of 'Architects of Deception; A history of freemasonry' which is a "very enlightening" volume.
Its the basis of this video. (If you havent seen it already you should
watch it.)

In 1875, the Supreme Council moved to closer to the centre of power, Washington, D.C. It has thereafter been regarded as the Supreme Council of World Freemasonry and has affected every important political event since.
The high-ranking Scottish freemason John Robison stated that in
the step, called the Chevalier du Soleil (Knight of the Sun), it is
Reason that has been destroyed and entombed, and the master of
this degree, the Sublime Philosophe, occasions the discovery of the
place where the body is hidden (John Robison, "Proofs of a Conspiracy",
Belmont, 1967, p. 88). Freemasons learn that lower degrees,
which concern morals and the Christian religion, are mere clouds that
have now been dissipated by the light of reason. This particular
degree in the French freemasonry is the first step of the freemason
forwards «enlightenment». Robison became a freemason in May 1770.
Freemasonry became a Jewish-Cabbalist conspiracy, the aim of
which was to subjugate the civilised Jewry and to enslave the rest of
humanity. In 1869, a Jew was grand master of the Scottish Rite in
Paris (Henry W. Coil, "Coil's Masonic Encyclopaedia", Macoy Publishing,
Richmond, Virginia, 1996, p. 260). The Grand Orient admitted
Jews without restrictions.
Morin's mission was to make all gentile freemasons function as
extremist Jews or as their henchmen. In any case, they serve in the
interest of Zionism.
The masonic leaders appear to follow the doctrine of the Talmud,
which states that if there were no Jews, the earth would not be any
blessing, neither sunshine nor rain nor humanity would exist
(Jebammoth, fol. 98 a). Pretence is therefore common within freemasonry since this is also condoned by the Talmud. In the same
collection of teachings, rabbi Bechai states: "Pretence is permitted as
long as the Jew shows politeness to the unclean gentile, that he
shows the gentile respect and says to him: I love you." But rabbi
Bechai explains that this rule applies, only if the Jew needs the
gentile or if there is reason to believe that the gentile could harm
him. In all other cases, this (showing respect for a gentile) becomes a
sin (Gittin, fol. 61 a).
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli spoke in 1852 to the
House of Commons, referring to the events of 1848: "The natural
equality of men and the abolition of property are proclaimed by the
secret societies, which form the provisional governments; and men of the
Jewish race are at the head of each of them."
The rabbi Isaac Wise (1819-1900), chairman of B'nai B'rith's suborganization in Cincinnati, Ohio, explained that "freemasonry is a
Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments,
passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end"
(Israelite of America, 3 August 1866).
He also stated: "Freemasonry is the executive political organ of the
Jewish financial elite." He meant that freemasonry is the political
action group of the extremist Jews.
The Jewish Tribune (New York) wrote on 28 October 1927: "Masonry
is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic Ritual and what is left?"
The Jewish Guardian admitted openly on 12 April 1922: "Freemasonry
is born out of Israel."
The following could be read in the French masonic magazine Le
Symbolisme (July 1928): "The most important duty of freemasonry must
be to glorify the Jews, which has preserved the unchanged divine standard of wisdom."
The high-ranking freemason Dr Rudolph Klein stated: "Our rite is
Jewish from beginning to end, the public should conclude from this that
we have actual connections with Jewry." (Latomia, No. 7-8, 1928)
A speech at the B'nai B'rith convention in Paris, published shortly
afterwards in The Catholic Gazette (London) in February 1936 and in
Le reveil du peuple (Paris) a little later, stated: "We have founded
many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our direction. We have made it an honour, a great honour, for
the Gentiles to join us in our organizations, which are, thanks to our
gold, flourishing now more than ever. Yet it remains our secret that those
Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us
in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose...
One of the many triumphs of our freemasonry is that those Gentiles
who become members of our Lodges, should never suspect that we are
using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect
the throne of our Universal King of the Jews; and should never know that
we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our
future King of the World..."
The honorary president of the B'nai B'rith Lodge, the rabbi Dr Leo
Baeck, at the inauguration of the district Grand Lodge Kontinental
Europa XIX in Basel on 14 September 1955, said: "The mission of the
lodges in Europe is to be the conscience of the Jews and to make sure
that the conscience of the Jews does not wither away in the various
countries." (Judische Allgemeine Zeitung, 27 January 1956)
The Zionist leader Theodor Herzl wrote in his "Tagebucher" (p. 92):
"In the present nations, freemasonry is only of benefit to the Jews, but it
shall be abolished later."
"Each Lodge is and must be a symbol of the Jewish Temple; each
Master of the Chair, a representative of the Jewish king; and every Mason a personification of the Jewish workman." ("An Encyclopaedia of
European Freemasonry", Philadelphia, 1906)
The rabbi Georg Salomon in Hamburg asked the following illuminating
question in his booklet "Voices from the East": "Why is there
no trace of the Christian Church in the entire ritual of freemasonry? Why
is the name of Christ not mentioned once, either in the oath or in the
prayer, which is uttered at the opening of a new lodge or at the district
lodge? Why do the freemasons not count time from the birth of Christ,
but instead, like the Jews, from the Creation?" (pp. 106-107).
This is also the reason why cabbalist names are used in the degrees
of the various systems of freemasonry: Commander of the Lighting
Triangle, Doctor of the Holy Fire, Prince of Jerusalem (16th degree),
Knight of Rose Croix (18th), Grand Pontiff (19th), Knight Commander
of the Temple (27th), Scottish Knight of Saint Andrew (29th), Grand
Knight Elect of Kadosh (30th).
The latter degree is also called Knights of the Black and White Eagle. The members of this degree must aim dagger thrusts at a royal crown. They shall ceaselessly avenge the death of Grand Master Jacques de Molay on 18 March 1314 in Paris. Remember this date!
This is why freemasons of the 30th degree are called The Avengers.
Thirteen candles are used upon initiation into this degree. At the
initiation ceremony, the following colours are used: black, white,
blue and red.
Albert Pike believed that the 30th degree was the most important,
since this is when the active struggle against other beliefs and other
religions begins. At this point the members are taught the cabbala,
which is supposedly the key to the temple. This is also when the
members begin to work actively with the magic of Osiris.
Every year, freemasons of the highest degrees "kill" a doll that
wears 14th century clothes and symbolizes Philip the Fair. Either the
head is cut off (red wine runs down to symbolize his blood) or the
whole doll is burned. Pope Clement V is also "killed" each year. The
Knights of Kadosh must then trample on the royal crown and the
pope's tiara...... Hell of a read so far..
