Again, you have the right to choose what to believe and not. Although I would not make prejudgments on something you know very little about, especially just "skimming through" the information.
You know nothing whatsoever about the masons.
You know less about the Mayans.
Therefore, if you haven't watched it, or read much into it, then I would suggest just to not comment. Considering this, it would only be appropriate to hold such opinions invalid.
Um, No... the appropriate course is to recognize that there is a movie coming out and money to be made selling this bullshit to folks like you.
And trust me... if the people who made this shit REALLY believed it.... then why would they have royalty contracts that run well past the year 2012?
Heck... why would they care about making money at all?
Truth- the Masons were excommunicated by the church under pressure from the aristocracy for living high in the hog, cause they were well paid.
The royals thought only royals should live large.
Truth- the masons struck and took training for masonry underground until the a new pope reversed the excommunication and the aristocracy agreed that
a man could live as well as his talents enabled him to earn.
Therefore, the entire FOUNDATION of the western idea of free enterprise and being able to better yourself... of NOT being forced to do the trade you were born into... of the rihgt of the individual to pursue happiness and wealth regardless of the authority of popes and kings. was entirley born of the Free Mason's revolt.
The concept of the Masons was that any man can rise by his wits and hard work... and the idea of Architecture became synonymous with the nobility of man's capacity to overcome.
By the time of the Scottish enlightenment, the Aristocracy was DOWN on the revolutionary ideas that underpinned the notions of free men acting freely.
The rise of printing had made architecture less of a guild profession.. and the Masons had morphed from strictly stone workers, into educated men who believed in the dignity and freedom of the individual... the rights of man...
At the time of the Amercian revolution, Being a Mason was a POLITICAL statement endorsing the Humanist perspective and the rights of the individual OVER those of the State.
The whole concept of our Secular government , of the ability of men to government themselves thru REASON alone... was reflective of the masonic ideals and the cornerstone of Scottish enlightenment thought.
The very idea of a Masonic 'conspiracy' to control the lives of others is Absolutely antithetical to EVERYTHING being a mason has ever stood for.
Today, the Masons are little more than a men's club... a glorified elks lodge.
But their history is clear and their principles are still the rights of the individual OVER that of government.
As to the illuminati... that idea is so idiotically ridiculous as to make anyone even spouting it look a fool.
