Well, the purpose of human organization is to increase strength and provide security. The security is afforded to the group.

County governments are going to make sure of one thing first--that the members of the governments receive their salaries. So they tax, and they increase taxes as the government grows.

Why should it be any different with any other organization? Masons, Rosicrucians, etc.? They formed for security, and then they expanded to provide increased security and strength.

I have no problem with any groups unless they want to keep their dealings secret. Then I have to suspect them. The Masons and other 'secret' groups deserve the suspicion that's heaped on them. They bring it on themselves.

As far as lumping groups, movements and 'conspiracies' together, I'm sure a lot of them are bogus. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion springs to mind. Fascinating reading, but so unprovable that you can't really use it to back up any arguments.

But then there are other things--for years the Bilderberg Group denied its existence, but that's changed the past couple of years. This year the front page of the Dallas paper had a big article about Gov. Rick Perry attending a Bilderberg meeting. Quoted him talking about it himself. Yet people still deny it exists.

It seems the evening news and the Sci-Fi channel have done much to make Americans disbelieve the evidence right in front of them. The Sci-fi channel is owned by Prince Phillip, by the way, and the programming seems to be a continuous stream of contempt for humans (much like Phillip's view of people).

But anyway, there are lots of bread crumbs being left for us by the people in charge of certain groups. The link below goes to some fascinating information. I think these guys plan to make this into a nine-part series. Wouldn't be surprised if part or all of this has made it to YouTube by now:

Also, an interesting search is 'ley lines' or 'ley-lines' + masonic, for information about how they incorporate occultic power grids into their building. And then there's the stupefying amount of evidence of occultic symbolism in the new Israeli Supreme Court building, paid for by the Rotschilds:

You build something like that, and people are going to wonder.
