Very well done documentation of history, and thank you for stating that many of the founding documents and the spirit of America's founding have their roots in the philosophy of Freemasonry.
Thank you for watching our latest video. We put a lot of time and effort into these and hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoy making them. Please comment below if you have any unique history about your lodge, or comments about this video!
He's wrong. Look it up. Paul Revere, Sam Adams, John Hancock and most of the Sons of liberty leaders and many members were all freemasons, as was George Washington, Ben Franklin and 9 signers of the Declaration of Independence. It's and objective undisputed fact that freemasons started the American Revolution.
You need to believe in a supreme being, immortal soul, be a good person and ask to join. My suggestion is that you reach out to a local grand lodge to identify a lodge that is close to you and then meet the brothers.
@@Huguenot-46Respectfully, and with due regard for the principles and tenets of Freemasonry as laid down by the United Grand Lodge of England, and subject to Anderson's Constitutions of 1723, there is no requirement to believe in an "immortal soul"...even though that usually does hand in hand with most belief systems. Any requirements for a belief in an "immortal soul" are caveats put in place by individual Grand Lodges. These are the minimum requirements for membership of a Regular Masonic lodge. Have, at the centre of one's life, a supreme being, responsible for the creation of the universe. Be male. Be conviction free. Have the support of the family. Be able to afford the fees without undue stress on the family budget. Hope that helps.
@@Huguenot-46how can you be a good person AND be a British loyalist, that's a contradiction. You can't advocate slavery, theft, tyranny, and oppression and be "a good person" which is why the loyalist Masons were frauds. And the good masons founded America
@@Huguenot-46if masons believe in God, the great clock maker then they should be in accordance with Natural Law as our freemasonic founding fathers were. The loyalist masons served the devil and didn't know it
Vs? The Sons of Liberty was started by the freemasons. That's not a conspiracy theory. It's public knowledge that most of the leadership of the Sons of liberty were masons at the Boston lodge that would hang out at the Green Dragon tavern. Masonic ideals go well with liberalism. George Washington was also a Mason, and 9 Masons signed the declaration of independence. The statue of liberty was also financed, designed and built by masons. None of this is a theory, none of this is disputed. The freemasons were involved in multiple classical liberal Revolutions. They may have even been loosely involved in the pirate Republic of Nassau.
The Sons of Liberty date back further than the group formed in Boston at the Green Dragon Tavern. They were also a group spread throughout the colonies, not just in Boston. They also most likely originated in New York and in New York, they initially supported the DeLancey side of the political equation, which would become the Loyalists fighting for the Crown. I recommend you read this book www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501769108/unfriendly-to-liberty/#bookTabs=1. To say that the loyalists Masonic brothers were "traitors" is not a fair examination of the times. Things were far more complex than a cursory examination of the two sides allows. I am doing my best here to present historical facts in as comprehensive manner as possible given my knowledge and the medium used. More importantly, as the filmmaker here, my comments in here and on the videos are STRICTLY my interpretation and analysis of what I have learned. They are in no way a portrayal of my political views, the political views of my lodge brothers and certainly not any form of official political position of the lodge, the Grand Lodge or Freemasons anywhere. In fact, Masonic brothers are forbidden to discuss politics or religion in lodge, as they can be a divisive subject. Lastly, I encourage you to watch all the videos to get a complete picture of what is being presented. The American Revolution was far more complex a topic than anything ever presented in such venues as The History Channel, as was Freemasonry at the time. We are coming up on the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution and we should seek to remember exactly why our nation was founded, who founded it and why. We were blessed by the actions of these people and the actions they took were far more dangerous, radical and innovative than most realize.
It is said that King George presented a Masonic Apron to Joseph Brant. However, the histories I have read made it clear he was not a Brother. However, they also said that many of his relatives were. As I don't have access to the records at the UGL, I can't confirm his status as a Brother either way. What is important though, is that Masonic philosophy was influential in the governance of both countries. While Americans view King George's British Empire as Tyrannical, this is a matter of degrees when compared to other European Countries where there was heavy religious persecution, etc. Clearly the Intolerable Acts moved the British Government away from a more Classically Liberal government and more towards a Tyrannical one, but this was in 1774, just prior to the break out of the real hostilities in 1775. Even after the passage of these, the loyalists here believed that they were fighting to preserve the Freedoms that the British Empire offered, which were much more liberal than the rest of Europe, as they thought the Patriot's cause would lead to chaos and anarchy. They were partially correct, as that is what happened later in France. We were blessed by amazing people running our young country.
Its an undisputed objective fact that freemasons started the revolution. The sons of liberty most certainlt started the revolution and it was a masonic creation.
Then I suggest you watch all our videos. The evidence is clear. There were Masonic Brothers on both sides of the American Revolution and they fought against each other in battles to the death, surrender or retreat. There was NOT a conspiracy by the Freemasons to overthrow a government. Moreover, the Sons of Liberty had many members who were NOT Freemasons. Yes, absolutely there were many Masonic brothers who were involved in the American Revolution. There were also Calvinists, Catholics, Anglicans and Jews. That doesn't mean the Catholics organized the American Revolution. It doesn't mean the Anglicans, Calvinists or Jews organized the American Revolution. Freemasonry teaches eternal truths and encourages men to be the best they can be. The Masonic brothers involved in the American Revolution most certainly were influenced by Masonic Philosophy and the same infused the country's foundational documents and foundation itself. That does not equate to the Freemasons plotting to overthrow the government and start a revolution. There is a world of difference between the two and pointing this out, does not equate to a lack of love for freedom, equality and brotherhood. I have removed your other comments, as they were redundant.
The Haitian revolution was also led by a Mason. And you really can't deny the American revolution was both started by a Mason and the army was led by a Mason. 3 liberal revolution back to back led by mason's claiming "liberty, fraternity and equality' to be their slogan. Then the statue of liberty made by masons, and funded by masons. You can't tell me it's coincidence. Even Liberia which was a project to free the slaves and give them their own state. That endeavor was heavily supported by masons and masons led Liberia in the beginning. Liberia named after "liberty"

I am an Arizona mason. I have been telling the truth about the lodge and dispelling all the BS nonsense to anyone that asks.
Nice teaching can you pls tell us more about the sun's of liberty is it a secret group?
It was only a group in the American Revolution. There will be more about them in future episodes. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Also,as a point of interest, King George himself was a Freemason.
