Perfect Slavery (part two) pre-history of the Association Freemasons

“Roman Empire’s belief weapon”
During the early Middle Ages the Latin word sclavus was used to describe serfs. Serfdom was the new-form of economical slavery in Europe where the political structure consisted of unfree-peasents that served in the military in order to gain the title of lord, duke, etc…under the King. At the time even though the Roman Empire had lost most control the Holy Roman Catholic Empire arose to control the Kings of Europe. Serfdom was forced labor in return for rented land in which taxes would also be paid. There were three types of surfs, the usual surf that was granted land and had to work the land for its resources and hand over the majority portion to the King that would resell on the markets or use to trade. The cotter surf did not possess land to work so they worked in their “masters” fields and were given a hut to live and a small portion of the land owners’ harvest. Slave surfs had the least rights, had no land and worked directly for the land owner under whatever arrangements had been made. Not far long down the time line the system would again be threatened by rebellion and needed to control the change without a rebellion that could not be controlled. In 1095 Pope Urban 2nd contacted the Byzantine Roman Emperor Alexius Commendus and asked for his support to organize a major church council in a town called Clermont, where he decided to start a holy-war by accusing Muslims of oppressing and torturing Christians and ended his speech proposing a crusade to liberate the holy lands, Jerusalem. This united the people of Europe in a struggle against their Muslim “enemy” that had conquered the lands in 638. The Crusades gave birth to the legendary establishment the Knights of Templar, an organization created and destroyed by the Roman Catholic Empire. The Templar’s organized a well established bank for the people of Europe and collected taxes for the Kings of nations as well as for the Church. Many Templar’s by the 1200’s became great stone workers, and the Free-Stone-Masons were born. The Free-Stone-Masons were an early trade union of builders that received work from the kings of nations. They built everything from local housing, to cathedrals and churches as well as bridges and other architectural related objects. The regulations for masons in France were written up in 1268 after a meeting with the royal families and high-level craftsmen took place. The regulation stated that masons, mortar-makers and plasterers could have as many assistants as they pleased as long as they did not teach the assistants anything about the trade. Unskilled workers were always needed as assistants to clear out the foundation of the building site and to bring stone and mortar to the work site. These workers were not fully unionized and were paid much less. To become unionized they would have to become ‘apprentices’.


“Supply of power, working-man in demand”
In 1380 the bubonic plague occurred and many Europeans died as a result of it, the population had reduced and laborers were need to maintain the economic system, because of this wages were raised and the governments of the time made legislations to have a fixed maximum and minimum rates on salary wages. However in 1381 England tried to issue a poll tax and a rebellion broke out to protest the tax. Through it arose yet another ‘savior’ for the working-class… a Knight in shining armor, whose real name was never known and had either, died or escaped never to be seen again. They called him Wat the Tyler and he led the rebellion, an army of 10,000 men marched into London and for an entire week, ransacked the city causing destruction of property and public records owned by Robert Hales the treasurer of England. They also entered an old church that had once belonged to the Knights of Templar and only removed public records and made sure not to do any damage to the church.In 1381 King Richard 2nd of England at the age of 14 had recently gained control of the kingdom and had met with the rebels in an open field at miles-end just outside the city. There he agreed to pardons for all the rebels and promised to abolish serfdom. During the meeting between the king and the rebels outside the city, a mob inside the city had captured the archbishop Simon Sudbury and a few leading heads of the Knights Hospitallers whom were beheaded. When the king returned to the city and heard what had happened he immediately broke the treaty. However with persuasion from his advisors the young king requested another meeting with the rebels led by Wat the Tyler. It is said at this meeting an argument broke out and weapons were drawn and Tyler was wounded, but managed to escape and disappear forever. After this the rebellion quickly faded, king Richard 2nd still abolished serfdom and many people had already stopped supporting the rebellion after a group of rebels had purposely broken the first treaty for no specific reason.

“Belief…religion & science, nothing more than philosophies & theories”
At this point the poverty stricken people of Europe began to question the Roman Catholic belief which reflected on the laws of European nations and the Holy Roman Empire began to lose its dominant control over the source of information. The Roman Empire (not the Holy Roman Empire) is generally considered to have ended after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turkish Empire in 1453. However the system would again ‘reboot’ itself and change face. Between 1337 and 1453 the hundred year’s war, which was actually fought for 116 years was being fought between England and France and the war was because English kings tried to make claims to the French throne which resulted because of the treaty of Paris when the French princess married the English prince and had children. During this same period people in southern France and other areas nearby began opposing the catholic belief and were being persecuted as heretics. All heretics became labeled as “the lollards”. During the 1200s to about the 1500s a generally accepted catholic belief was that the way for one to ensure that he or she went to heaven instead of the fiery pits of hell was to give money to the priest or monks so that they would pray for their souls. This led to peasants having to choose between going to heaven or feeding their families. Often poor people would pay the church and have faith that god would provide food for their families. Eventually some people realized that god nor the church would feed them. People known as the lollards would later become known as Protestants when King Henry 8th of England created the protestant church. In 1610 a new religious movement in Germany known as the Rosicrucian movement arose and made their new doctrine public. The doctrine was titled “the universal and general reformation of the whole-wide world” and was made public in 1614. The doctrine was in the form of a book which described how a member of the sect had been wandering in the woods when he had come across the grave of a man named Christian Rosenkrantz. There the author claimed to have found three books that Rosenkrantz had apparently written. It also appeared from the writing that Rosenkrantz had lived 106 years, being born in 1384 and dying in 1490. In Rosenkrantz books were his visions of a future paradise in which men believed in a god or Supreme Being, whom people of all different religions could worship while granting religious tolerance to everyone. Coincidentally between 1550 and 1700 the freestone masons changed from being a trade union of working masons that accepted all the doctrines of the Christian catholic belief, to a legally accepted organization of intellectuals who favored religious toleration and friendship between men of different religious beliefs who acknowledged the belief of a one supreme god. In bohemia a 30 year war lasted from 1618 to 1648 and was fought between the religious groups, however it ended in a compromise with some states being protestant and some states catholic, but by then already 1/3 of the German population had died. In England, Scotland, and Ireland around the same time war between the king and parliament were being fought. The war began as a religious war, but during it an intellectual society named the Royal Society had emerged and shifted views. The Royal Society was devoted to scientific research and non-religious interest became the focal point of the people in those areas. The period to me marks the beginning of transformation of a one world government. In 1717 existing mason-union leaders met in England for a joint dinner and the Association Freemasons was created. Since then they have been surrounded mystery, as well as appear as ‘saviors’ for the working-class. Believed to have orchestrated the French and American Revolutions among others, where the face of the system again changed, but remained the same…
