Not a Secret Society… a Society With Secrets
My builder randomly tried to recruit me for the Freemasons the other day. Short of poking my eyes out with blunk cocktail sausages, I can’t think of many things I’d less rather do, but still… It’s nice to be asked.
The recruitment spiel was moderately impressive, though - apparently ‘every’ US president (although the jury’s out on Obama) has been a Mason, along with ‘every’ male member of the Royal Family. My builder, apparently, has the photos to prove this last assertion.
Sounds fishy to me… I’ll investigate…

According to this site, Obama is also a Freemason. George W, Clinton and George Sr. also confirmed. Should really get back to work now…

You should join and become US president.

Could do, but they still wouldn’t let me be prez as I wasn’t born in the states. Although… probably won’t stop Arnie!
That’s a weird-ass website. I likee.
Freemason watch… Prince Charles isn’t one. Or is he?

Can I ask why your builder tried to recruit you? Also he shouldn’t really be telling you about the maisons if your not a member. They did offer to recruit me however I was at a maisons summer picnic so perhaps that was a bit of a give away.
I always thought that each of the US presidents was supposed to be a skull and bones man anyway?

P.S. good to see the local Tooting saying on your site

I want to see the photographic proof of Harry’s membership!
Also, I enjoyed this bit from the linked article: “The [Council on Foreign Relations] is rarely mentioned by the mainstream media…”
Rarely, huh? Let’s ask Google News about that…

In all fairness, said article also outed Barack as ‘Illuminati aristocracy’ and ‘the next antichrist to hit the US presidential scene’, so understating the importance of a relatively obscure think-tank is surely the mildest of it’s sins. It’s unfortunate that my day’s internet browsing is interrupted by work, or else I’d be sure to seek out more reputable sources. It’s also worth clicking the other link, as it spends an awful lot of time trying to prove that Prince Charles is (also, presumably) the antichrist…
Regarding JC’s question: this builder has done about £5,000 worth of work for me in the last six months (in fact, he’s at my house causing a horrible mess as I type this), so I have spent a fairly large amount of time attempting to butter him up (strictly to get cheaper building work, you understand). And the invitation was less ‘come join the freemasons’ more ‘come along to the lodge, I’ll introduce you to everyone and we’ll see how you get on’. It was just that the invites were quite persistent!
