DeMoulin Brothers & Co had to be some sick puppies to dream up that stuff, I wonder if Dr Mengele worked for them early in his career.

Just a reminder ... people who were candidates, initiates, and (ultimately) members of the organizations that ordered and used these things back in the early part of the 1900s were also the same people who went through WWI, a Great Depression, and WWII.  They accepted the hardships and buckled down to do what needed to be done when it needed to be done — and came back stronger than ever.

Today when times get tough, we have an entire society who is content to sit back, whine about how tough things are, and wonder "when is the government going to send me another stimulus check?"

"People who were candidates, initiates, and (ultimately) members of the organizations that ordered and used these things back in the early part of the 1900s were also the same people who"... started WW I, caused the Great Depression and started WW II, then stayed home to profit while Joe Blow suffered and died to protect them and their wealth.

From the original organised bodies of operative stonemasons to the Royal Order of Water Buffaloes, I'm pretty sure Freemasonry had absolutely nothing to do with starting world wars or depressions. Everyone knows it was really the Illuminati who did all that.
