Proof that Freemasonry is lieing about

Albert Pike and the Ku Klux Klan

Left: The Main Library of the

Supreme Council 33° of the
Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite of Freemasonry, S.J., U.S.A.,
the Mother Supreme Council of the
World, Washington D.C., is
dedicated to none other than
Confederate General Albert Pike,
the KKK's Chief of "Judiciary".

He has lived. The fruits of his

labors live after him. - Albert Pike, 33°

These words dedicated to Albert Pike are mounted in bronze near the
impressive, leather-covered doors leading into the Library of The Supreme
Council, 33°. They are an appropriate greeting to the user of the Library since
today The Supreme Council's Library continues Pike's lifework and
Freemasonry's mission.

Pike, who admitted to being "capricious in my reading," was an avid collector

of books. In his Little Rock, Arkansas, home one of the most impressive
rooms was the library, and Pike kept an extensive collection of books at his
Arkansas mountain cabin retreat where he wrote the first drafts of what was
to become Morals and Dogma.

Pike saved what he could of these books during the turmoil of the Civil War
and its aftermath, and when he moved to the nation's capital area, he built on
these collections, first in his home in Alexandria, Virginia, and then in the first
House of the Temple at Third and D Streets, NW, in Washington, DC. his
death, he willed all his books to The Supreme Council, 33, under the
provision that they be made available to the general public at no charge.
Thus in 1891, the House of the Temple Library became, in effect, the first
"public library" in the District of Columbia.

Today, many of these books from Pike's personal collection form the nucleus
of the Library of The Supreme Council at the present House of the Temple at
1733 Sixteenth Street, NW, and they are still available for use, free of any
charge, by the general public as well as, of course, the Brethren. One of the
thrills of conducting research in the Library is, unexpectedly, to come across
a few words in Pike's own small, meticulous handwriting in some of the older
books.

The above description of Pikes importance to Freemasonry from the

Supreme Council 33° shows the claims by Masonic Apologists today that
Pike is a "nobody" whose "importance is nothing to masonry", who "no one
even knows who he is save for a few anti's" to be a real whopper. Albert Pike
is to Freemasonry what Shakespeare is to Drama. One is inseperable from
the other. Don't let practiced dissemblers tell you anything different.

Right: One of the most widely read occult

books in the world; Morals and Dogma of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry. This book is still given to
Masons on being awarded the 32nd
Degree.

Pike has been termed by a number of well

known Masonic authors as the Plato of
Freemasonry, and even the Masonic
Pope!

Freemasonry, that is to say Organized

Freemasonry practices the big lie
technique. More to the point organized
Freemasonry has perfected the big lie
technique. They term this doublespeak '
diverting the discourse'. In regard to Confederate general, slaver, British spy,
convicted Confederate war criminal, Sovereign Grand Commander of the
Supreme Council 33rd Degree, Ku Klux Klan ritual designer, Ku Klux Klan
Chief Judicial Officer and Arkansas Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon it is
necessary to add some superlatives on to the term 'divert the discourse',
because that opaque term doesn't nearly come close to describing the effort
and tactics it has and is employing to cover-up, obscure, deflect, and divert
about Pike's leading roll in the KKK's creation.

Please excuse us if we seem to go to some length to explain what exactly

organized Freemasonry with all it's thousands of internet sites, millions of
members, and billions of net worth is doing in regard to the Albert Pike issue
because one has to be very specific when dealing with the masters of
parsing. In fact it is likely the case that Freemasonry provided the initial
instruction to intelligence agencies on the most effective methods of using
disinformation.

First they eliminate all "documents" - not that a oral secret society such as
Freemasonry or the KKK keeps a paper trail. Then they say no documents
exist or none can be found. If there is any eyewitness testimony included in
books or writings on the topic they deny the books or writings exist, if that
fails they attack the witnesses and try and destroy their character - even if
they were masons and thereby ignoring their oaths on the matter, and if that
fails they attack the character of the authors themselves - again if they also
too were masons. Finally they will simply lie or mischaracterize the nature of
a book or writing by terming it 'anti' - even if the work was 'pro' but written in
another time before the fall of the KKK.

The use of the term "anti" is one of pure Orwellian rhetoric. All those who
write critically of Freemasonry are anti's and all anti's are frauds, liars,
zealots, or extremists and cannot be accepted. Therefore there is no such
thing as a legitimate work criticizing Freemasonry because by it's very nature
it must be 'anti' and organized Freemasonry will accept no references from
'anti's' in any debate or discussion of Freemasonry. If per chance the writing
was from a mason but was one that was meant not to come out into the
public view (in the jacket cover of most masonic books is typed that the
books must be returned to the Lodge if the owner dies), or if it was simply
written in another time politically - such as the case with pro Ku Klux Klan
books that extoll the roll of Albert Pike in the KKK, the tact is to attack the
authors. Even though at the time the books were written Organized
Freemasonry was more that happy to accept the kudos of the millions strong
KKK on all the wonderful things that Pike did for them.
A non-mason may provide quote after quote from old masonic or KKK works
and Freemasonry will not accept any of them because anyone who would
suggest such a thing today (the non-mason) would be doing so with the
knowledge that it would be harmful to Freemasonry's public image and
standing, and anyone who would do that would obviously have to be an 'anti'.
Of course nothing an "Anti" says or writes is acceptable to a Mason.
Logicians term this circular reasoning and furthermore classify circular
reasoning as a fallacy. A fallacy is equivalent to an mathematical error in logic
or rhetoric, and it is disallowed. It is not a legitimate debating method, it is in
the same category as ad hominem personal attacks. Unfortunately with the
Freemasons power it is very difficult to compete with the deluge of
misinformation they spew out repeating these illegitimate debating and
reasoning methods. In crude terms organized Freemasonry's most effective
tactic is to "baffle them with bee's wax". Mountains of it. If it will take a
thousand websites or a hundered thousand usenet posts to bury the 'anti's'
point (which they never respond to without employing shabby cut and paste,
deletion, or misquoting games) then that is what they will do. Masons term
this 'good work'.

Right: Atrium of the Supreme

Council 33°, Washington DC. A
bust of Pike can be seen in the
distance on the landing of the
Grand Staircase which leads up to
the main temple room which all
33° Masons must file past. Pike is
buried in a secret crypt under the
stairway, beneath the bust, the
only Freemason to be given this
"honor".

But what is the purpose of this

exercise? Masons who find themselves on the clear loosing end of a Pike
match (it happens but they quickly cancel the posts or pretend the verbal
arguement never occured) will say "but even if you are right, so what it
happened 150 years ago and has no bearing today, etc". Here is why it does
very much matter. Pike wasn't just any Freemason he was the head of the
Supreme Council which has defacto control of the entire worldwide masonic
movement. Therefore the Ku Klux Klan was an official (albiet very secret) and
planned masonic organization with political overtones that foreknowingly was
set up to engage in murder, arson, blackmail and other extra constitutional
tactics to achieve the Scottish Rites political objectives. The KKK and
Freemasonry relationship thereby is as a seamless as could be. From it's
inception through the open recruiting of masons in newspapers to the KKK, to
the use of masonic temples and halls for KKK meetings, to the rituals, rites,
and occult themes, to the high degree masonic membership of the leadership
of the old and new klans. Even the present cover-up can be seen to be part
of Organized Freemasonry's continued involvement with reactionary politics.
They have never stopped, they have never given up. Many have speculated
on what happened to the millions of KKK Members that were on the rolls up
to the KKK's final downfall at the hands of the IRS in the 40's. We now know.
They simply carried on inside the masonic lodges as if nothing had changed
at all. And what really had changed? In most regions of the country the local
KKK Klavern's membership was indistinguishable from the local 'Blue'
masonic lodges membership.

After all the KKK had openly advertised in newspapers for new recruits
specifiying that masons were preferred! The only change was the sheets
were stowed away, but the political goals and willingness and capability to
follow through on them carried on. The letter that the head of the Supreme
Council wrote about a Roman Catholic president in 1960 in the official organ
of the Scottish Rite - 'New Age' magazine, and the continuing practically non-
existant black membership in the 'blue' lodges, plus the non-recognition as
'regular' of black only Prince Hall lodges testify's boldly to that.

The 1940's folding was a complete sham. That is why the desperate defense
of Albert Pike. They're still at it, they never went away.

Here then gentle, patient readers are the references which prove that the
Illustrious Albert Pike was part of the KKK, and that the KKK and Freemasonry
were intrinsically linked.

Reference Number ONE.

Ku Klux Klan: Its Origin, Growth, and Disbandment

It was in 1905 that the Neale Publishing Company, New

York and Washington, published Ku Klux Klan: Its Origin,
Growth and Disbandment, written and edited by Walter L.
Fleming, incorporating earlier published material by J.C.
Lester and D.L. Wilson. Historian Walter Fleming's introduction to this 1905 book
explains that he has been given "information in regard to Ku Klux Klan, by many
former members of the order, and by their friends and relatives." Dr. Fleming
states that "General Albert Pike, who stood high in the Masonic order, was the
chief judicial officer of the Klan." On a page of illustrations of important founders
of the KKK, Dr. Fleming places General Pike's portrait in the center, makes it
larger than the six others on the page, and repeats this information as a caption:
"General Albert Pike, chief judicial officer". Dr. Fleming attaches as an appendix
to his book, a KKK "prescript" or secret constitution which had then recently been
discovered. This document sets forth the regulations of the Klan's "judiciary"'
department, over which Albert Pike ruled. This is the internal disciplinary or
counterintelligence department. It also corresponds to Pike and the Klan's
influence over the regular court system and the legal profession in the post-civil
War southern states.

As the boss of all the southern secret societies and simultaneously president of
the Tennessee Bar Association, Pike was the grand strategist of Klan "justice." It
is to be stressed that Walter Fleming's book was not a slander or hatchet job
against Albert Pike. Though it revealed much important data for the first time, it
placed the KKK and Pike in the most favorable possible light. The book was a hit
among diehard Confederates and Anglo-Saxon "race patriots," and it launched
Fleming's career as the dean of southern historians. Fleming became the leading
apologist for the KKK, and was the father of the modern historical line that
Reconstruction was a corrupt oppression of the South. In September 1903,
Fleming had written in the Journal of the Southern History Association: "The very
need for such an organization in the disordered conditions of the time caused the
Dens [KKK local units] to begin to exercise the duties of a police patrol for
regulating the conduct of thieving and impudent negroes and similar "loyal'
whites...." Dr. Fleming's biases have not hurt his reputation with established
authorities. The National Cyclopedia of American Biography calls his 1905 Ku
Klux Klan history "an authoritative account of that organization." The Dictionary
of American Biography states bluntly: "Fleming covered the Civil War and
Reconstruction in the South more fully than any other man. His works are
characterized by ... scholarly objective. A Southerner, Fleming wrote of the
sectional conflict with Southern sympathies yet he was more objective than most
Southerners of his generation. The historiography of the Civil War and
Reconstruction owes much to his indefatigable research, his breadth of
scholarship, and power of interpretation." Basing his career on his defense of
Pike's KKK, Fleming became dean of arts and sciences at Vanderbilt University
in Nashville, Tennessee.

Pike's Tennessee Klan Command

It was in Nashville that Albert Pike and other Confederate generals met in 1867
to form a southern states-wide terrorist KKK, expanding the little project they had
started two years before in Pulaski, Tenn. The organization he formed in
Nashville designated Pike its chief judiciary officer, and its Grand Dragon for
Arkansas.

As owner-publisher of the Memphis, Tennessee, Daily Appeal, Albert Pike wrote

in an editorial on April 16, 1868:

"With negroes for witnesses and jurors, the administration of justice becomes a
blasphemous mockery. A Loyal League of negroes can cause any white man to
be arrested, and can prove any charges it chooses to have made against him.
...The disenfranchised people of the South ... can find no protection for property,
liberty or life, except in secret association.... We would unite every white man
in the South, who is opposed to negro suffrage, into one great Order of
Southern Brotherhood, with an organization complete, active, vigorous, in
which a few should execute the concentrated will of all, and whose very
existence should be concealed from all but its members."

(A copy of that issue of Pike's paper may be viewed at the Library of Congress,
as may the books mentioned in this article.)

Left: The Albert Pike Memorial Room

inside the Supreme Council 33° Temple,
which itself is located 13 blocks directly
north of the White House in Washington
D.C..

But it was as the Sovereign Grand

Commander of the Scottish Rite, and the
recognized boss of the southern white
masonic order, that Pike exercised the
great clandestine power that welded the
KKK together. Dr. Walter Fleming
designates Confederate Major James R. Crowe as the pre-eminent source for
his 1905 KKK History, and describes Crowe as one of the original KKK founders
in Pulaski. Fleming says that Major Crowe "held high rank in the Masonic order."
In his honor roll of "well-known members of the Klan," Dr. Fleming places
"General John C. Brown, of Pulaski, Tennessee" and "Colonel Joseph Fussell, of
Columbia, Tennessee."

General Brown and Colonel Fussell, like Major Crowe, are identifiable as soldiers
of Albert Pike's masonic order. General Brown had been a master mason in the
Pulaski lodge for 15 years when the KKK was formed there, and became grand
master of Tennessee Masons and governor of Tennessee during the Klan's era
of power. Colonel Fussell was commandant of Tennessee's masonic Knights
Templar during the Klan rule. The preceding masonic information is taken from
Tennessee Templars: A Register of Names with Biographical Sketches of the
Knights Templar of Tennessee by James D. Richardson. This James D.
Richardson was himself the Commandant of Knights Templar and Grand Master
of Masons in Tennessee, and was speaker of the Tennessee House of
Representatives during the era of the Klan power. This same James D.
Richardson was Albert Pike's successor as commander of the southern Scottish
Rite masons. It was this same Richardson who ordered the Pike statue to be
erected in Washington, D.C. It was Richardson who, as a U.S. congressman
from Tennessee, introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives the
infamous 1898 resolution: It called for the federal government to provide federal
land to Richardson's masonic organization, on which to put up their statue
honoring the master strategist of KKK terror.

The KKK on Parade

Susan Lawrence Davis's 1924 Authentic History, Ku Klux

Klan, 1865-1877, repeats the pattern Fleming created in
1905, revealing Pike's KKK role but treating him and the
Klan sympathetically. The Davis book was written to
celebrate the new, 20th-century KKK, which was just then
staging full-dress mass marches in Washington and
northern cities such as Detroit. In her chapter on General
Pike's leadership of the Klan, Miss Davis applauds Pike's
clever stewardship of the KKK secret organization. She
reproduces in her KKK history an oil portrait of Albert Pike
given to her for the KKK book by Pike's son.

Reference Number THREE.

The Tragic Era

The same is true of other book-length histories of the Klan and numerous
published biographies of Albert Pike: Pike's role as Klan leader or KKK boss of
Arkansas is discussed, but treated as if KKK terrorist
murder of African-Americans was "regrettable" but "only
natural" and "understandable." In his book, The Tragic
Era, Claude Bowers, who served many years as the
U.S. ambassador to Spain and to Chile, described Albert Pike as one of the
handful of distinguished, respectable founders of the KKK and the Klan's leader
in Arkansas.

Bowers describes the KKK as patriotic southerners defending their way of life
from out-of-control blacks and northerners.

Bowers wrote that much of the KKK's alleged violence was actually perpetrated
by Negroes disguised in Klan robes to wreak vengeance on other Negroes!

The Fiery Cross

"Prominent Southern gentlemen were later cited as state leaders of the Invisible
Empire. Alabama claimed General John T. Morgan as Grand Dragon. Arkansas
was headed by General Albert Pike, explorer and poet. North Carolina was led
by former governor Zebulon Vance, and Georgia by General John B. Gordon,
later a U.S. Senator."

The Aryan's

Albert Pike also wrote extensively on the mythtical super-race of the Aryans,
extolling their virtues, imagined history, and religion which he tried to show was
the precursor of Freemasonry in is numerous Published Works. It would seem
that Pike was a fellow traveller with Blavatsky on this subject. Fifty years later in
Central Europe there will be others who will take up this mantle and use these
writings as the basis for a ideology that curiously enough will also use the term
'new world order' to describe it's agenda. Just a co-incidence of course.

Freemason on the Usenet group alt.freemasonry (and vigorously attacked for
doing so by the resident "e-m@sons").

attacked the above reference as being a "anti lie".

He is then publically rebutted by a brother thusly:

Views of General ALBERT PIKE, Sovereign Grand Commander, A. & A. Scottish

Rite. ALEXANDRIA, Va., 13th September, 1875.

My DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER.-I can see as plainly as that the negro
question is going to make trouble. Then plenty of regular negro Masons and
negro lodges in South America and the West Indies, and our folks only stave of
the question by saying that negro Masons here are clandestine. Prince Hall
Lodge was as regular a Lodge as any lodge created by competent authority, and
had a perfect right (as other lodges in Europe did) to establish other lodges,
making itself a mother Lodge. That's the way the Berlin lodges, Three Globes
and Royal York, became Grand Lodges.

The Grand Orient of Hayti is as regular as any other. So is the Grand Orient of
the Dominican Republic, which, I dare say, has negroes in it and negro lodges
under it.

Again, if the negro lodges are not regular, they can easily get regularized. If our
Grand Lodges won't recognize negro lodges, they have the right to go
elsewhere. The Grand Lodge can't say to eight or more Masons, black or white,
we will not give you a charter because you are negroes, or because you wish to
work the Scottish Rite, and you shall not go elsewhere to get one. That latter part
is bosh.

Hamburg recognizes the Grand Lodges. Yes, and so the German Grand Lodge
Confederation is going to do, and so will the Grand Orient of France before long.

Of course, if negrophily continues to be the religion established by law of your

States, there will be before long somewhere a beginning of recognition of negro
lodges. Then the Royal Arch and Templar bodies of negroes must be taken in,
and Masonry go down to their level. Will your plan work? I think not. I think there
is no middle ground between rigid exclusion of negroes or recognition and
affiliation with the whole mass.

If they are not Masons, how protect them as such or at all ? If they are Masons,
how deny them affiliation or have two supreme powers in one jurisdiction.

I am not inclined to meddle in the matter. I took my obligations to white men,

not to negroes. When I have to accept negroes as brothers or leave
Masonry, I shall leave it.

I am interested to keep the Ancient and Accepted Rite uncontaminated, in our

country at least, by the leprosy of negro association. Our Supreme Council
can defend its jurisdiction, and it is the law-maker. There can not be a lawful
body of that Rite in our jurisdiction unless it is created by us.

I am not so sure but that, what with immensity of numbers, want of a purpose
worth laboring for, general indifference to obligations, pitiful charity and large
expenses, fuss, feathers and fandango, big temples and large debts, Masonry is
become a great helpless, inert mass that will some day, before long, topple over,
and go under. If you wish it should, I think you can hasten the catastrophe by
urging a protectorate of the negroes. Better let the thing drift. Apres noun le,
deluge.

Truly, yours,
ALBERT PIKE

The Knights of the Golden Circle

Brigadier General Albert Pike organized and lead the African Slave Owning
Cherokee Indians in the Oklahoma Territory who were part of the Masonic
Knights of the Golden Circle, in their own secret society called the Keetowah.
Under Pikes Generalship this Brigade raped, pillaged, and murdered civilian
communities in the Oklahoma and Missori Territories. For these "good works"
Brother Albert became a Convicted War Criminal in a War Crimes Trial held after
the Civil Wars end. Unfortunately the "Pope" and "Plato" of Freemasonry had to
be tried in absentia because he had fled to British Territory in Canada. Second
Generation British-American Pike has also been alledged to have been working
for the Crown as an agent and key civil war agitator. Pike only returned to the
U.S. after his hand picked Scottish Rite Succsessor James Richardon 33° got a
pardon for him after, making President Johnson a 33° Scottish Mason in a
ceremony held inside the White House itself! In fact given Mr. Pikes leadership
roll in the Knights of the Golden Circle and the fact that the name Ku Klux Klan is
a version of Circle (Kluklos) it seems pretty clear to most researchers who was
higher up the secret society occult ladder and therefore more instrumental in the
founding of the Klan - Mason/Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest or
Mason/Confederate General/ Knights of the Golden Circle Leader/British Agent/
Scottish Rite Supreme Council Head Albert Pike 33°.

Conclusion

Rather than quake in fear when Masonic Propagandists puts the muscle on (as
in the case of the 1990's Pike Statue removal fight in Washington D.C.), a citizen
or his political representative ought to put this question to General Pike's
defenders: "Do you say that Professor Fleming, Miss Davis, Mr. Bowers, and all
the other pro-Confederate historians were liars when they wrote of Pike's
marvelous deeds as KKK founder and leader?" They want to have it both ways:
first to issue propaganda justifying Klan terrorism as the work of "respectable''
men like Pike; later, when their hero is under attack, to claim that their own
propaganda slanders their man!
