A reader asked me to address any knowledge that I have about the Freemasons and ritual abuse. My sister is convinced that she and I suffered ritual abuse at the hands of the Freemasons. I don’t have any specific memories (yet??) of this connection myself. I guess that, for me, the fact that I was being abused was what I focused upon. I am not sure that I really cared why or who, only that it was happening and that I wanted to protect my sister. (My sister and I were “controlled” by threatening the sibling. I believed that my sister would be killed if I did not obey and keep the secret.)
Working with the memories that I have recovered, I am convinced that the people who ritually abused my sister and me were an organized kiddie porn and prostitution ring. I think the black robes, bonfires, and other “Satanic” elements were simply “covers.” “Clients” could rape children, both on and off film, while masking their identities, and if I ever told anyone about it, nobody would believe me because the entire idea of Satanic ritual abuse is so “crazy.”
I have no question that my abusers were well-organized and highly secretive. I also know that my sister and I were not their only victims. We were assigned numbers (used in place of names), and we were not numbers 1 & 2. Also, my sister has memories of being in charge of watching the younger children while some of my abuse was going on.
Back when I started recovering memories of the ritual abuse, I did some online research on ritual abuse in general and on the Freemasons in particular. One thing I found interesting was a comment/observation someone made about there being numerous rumors about the Freemasons’ involvement in ritual abuse, yet there are not similar rumors for comparable groups, such as the Lions or the Elks. The lawyer in me must point out that rumors do not equal proof, but I do find this to be an interesting observation nonetheless.
The only other thing I can share about the Freemasons is that I am highly triggered when I learn that somebody I know is a Mason. That is certainly not proof, and it is entirely possible that this reaction ties into what my sister has told me versus a repressed memory. At this point, I simply don’t know. I will say that the two men that I know who are active in their Mason groups are low-level, and they are both really great guys who would never condone abusing children. Some of the Freemason rumors say that those involved in ritual abuse are high-level masons. Other rumors say that it is just one sect of the Freemasons that not representative of the entire organization.
I don’t know what’s true and what’s not. On the one hand, I do think that when there is a lot of smoke, there is concern about a fire. On the other hand, I am not ready to make sweeping judgments about an organization that I know has some good men in it – men who I trust.

There are people in the Freemasons that systematically with understanding gained from centuries of experience abuse children. They use the lodges and land that is owned by the Freemasons as locations to abuse children.
I have personally been in the basement of four lodges two in which I was in a tunnel.
I find it helpful to know a little about the Freemasons past. I start in England where the Freemasons developed the apprentice system which has been adopted by unions. It was when the church was the government and a parish was the center of commerce. The Freemasons had knowledge of geometry and building which was kept secret. Remember this was a time when most were illiterate. It gave them great economic power as the church needed them to build and structures of any great size.
The Freemasons were a power when this country was being developed. They actually had whole towns granted to them. Surveyors were Freemasons at the time with their knowledge of geometry and math, The knowledge of land was used to gain more power in the US.
Architects were often Freemasons.
In the US in the east some split off and formed the Grange. In the rural areas it was either you belonged to the Grange which was mostly agricultural or the Masons which were “professionals”
There are few townships in NE who do not have a Freemason presence in the form of a “temple”.
The main tool of secrecy is fear. It can be economic. You mess with the Freemasons and you will lose your job and they may own the house you rent. They insure that they have something to hold over you. A person may be gotten drunk and then be part of abusing children their own or others. They may be drunk and or drugged at the time. They can not report as they would be reporting themselves. Who they report to will likely be a Freemason as they often become police and judges.
There are main points of how they keep everything secret. One is to have people in power that can “fix” things. They pretend to write everything down and write nothing down. When they take a person to a site for a ritual they are blindfolded. They often use abandoned property so even if you go back to the site the ones that abused you do not own it. They have pure psychopaths as enforcers.
All rings are taken off and put in a wooden box. They use masks to hide their identity. And those to be abused have no masks and often no clothes.
They know how to disorient. They know the effects of extreme temperatures, dehydration, being calorie deprived, isolation, shunning and terror.
They are accomplished lairs. They know to keep it simple.
They tend to like to be under and be an authority. They gravitate to government jobs. Their personal power tends to come from groups. They seem to want an entity to protect them and are willing to go to great lengths to be accepted.
They are cowards. This is not to say they are not dangerous. They are very good at harassment.
They tend to be overly law abiding in other aspects of there lives.
They are not stupid and have a system. They post guards to make sure no one comes down the dead end road where they are having the ceremony. They know to come at different times and not to leave in groups. They have an explanation ready.
They are braggarts. They will all tell you that they have connections in the Illuminati even though they are low level. They will tell you they own a police department when they only have one officer. That sort of thing.
They trade a lot. One member might what young girls and will supply a young boy in trade. Say a victim moves the word will get out that a victim is coming to town.
In my case the cults were subcontractors to the academics and military that ran MKULTRA a natural relationship.
Each Freemason cult will have sects mostly on socioeconomic lines. I went to a job site and then came back to writing. There was one basement that I was in that I forgot. This was was noting less than opulent.
It is similar to gangs and the mafia only with a longer history. There main source of personal income is not the cult actitivy like the mafia and the gangs. You have to have a job or business that is legitimate.
I find it important to keep it in perspective. Yes there are judges that sent 5,000 kids to jail for a fee in PA. One of the few judges that got caught. They may not have Freemason ties. If you take it to far than they take on an importance they do not deserve or warrant. There is not a world wide organization in the way that organizations are though of. Much of it is the lack of financial structure of the group. Think the drug trade.
Anyway they are out there.
Hi, Michael.
Thanks for all of that information. Much of what you said rings true of my experience. Perhaps my sister is right… :0(

hi all. i dont know if anyone will read this or where to post it but here.
this morning i took my mother to the doctor. i am ‘fishing’ for info. /it came out that my mothers father was a mason in the scottish rite sector as high up as one could go. he was very involved. and it was all very secretive and hushed. mother knew little about it.
i remember all the weird stuff ive said.
does 2 plus 2 equal 3??? confused still. still searching.

Ugh. Reminds me of the KKK tbh. For me, there is no trust without transparency. I’ve had no dealings with the Masons as far as I know, but then how would I know?
My abuser was a Rotarian and an Anglican. I don’t think Rotarians are abusers, although, being who he was, I’m sure he’d use whatever social connections he had to further his goals to hurt people. I’m guessing that pretty much any religion, association or group can be used by abusers as a place to network, or a cover for organized rings of abusers. The Masons are secretive, but then again so are the Mormons, and I’ve heard allegations of abuse about them as well.
I think that all hierarchical organizations (where your actions aren’t easily questioned if you have status) with embedded secrecy must be great breeding grounds for abusers. Certainly sex offenders who prey on children outside their families have been documented as joining groups or professions where they can cultivate a wholesome image/persona in order to give them access to children, such as working with children’s charities, or as clergy.
sorry to say yes freemasons are definatly into S R A, they have high ups in on it and on the payroll policeforces/social development agenceys/ C I A/ F B I Government agencys/whitehouse polititions?/phycologists (false memory syndrome organisation) bcse they are involved too you name it they are all involved and on the payroll Sorry its true
They like it when you believe that they control organizations just because some of them are in those organizations. They like you to believe that they do not exist and the people only gravitate towards positions where they can abuse.
They want you to believe that it is all about sexual abuse and not see they are much more depraved than that.
They see you as fools who do not understand and exist only for them to manipulate, which they do and they are believed. They consider you unenlightened and they look for people like them that are also enlightened like them. If you are not like them you are to be used.
One thing that is weird is a witchcraft cult will have dealings with a satanic cult or church.
I feel it is important to know that some cult members are not making it up as they go along. They are following methods used successfully for centuries.
The judicial system does not successfully prosecute members of organized crime it is not reasonable to expect them to do so with cults.
Note: It is helpful to them if you believe that there is a FBI report, which says cults do not exist. There is none just a letter written by on agent with out research. His beliefs. Possible it is a cult member, which they would like you to believe, more likely just a personal belief stated in a letter which is taken as a valid report.
I hope my comment wasn’t misunderstood. I do believe that organizes child ritual abuse exists and that it probably exists in pockets among Masons (among others). I have friends who have survived RA. I was just pointing out that even though ritual abuse is maintained through conspiracies, I don’t think it’s a good idea to condemn an entire religion, community or faith practice out of hand because it has been exploited for evil. This is not because I think that might not be correct in some cases, but by pointing the finger elsewhere (as if Mormons or Masons or Satanists had the monopoly on evil), we don’t see these types of conspiracies when they occur within communities we think of as beyond reproach. Child abusers like to be allied with roles or communities they can groom to not believe accusations against them. It seems credible to me that groups of abusers would do the same.
Sworddancewarrior,
I hope my comment was not misunderstood that I misunderstood. Smile.
I go with and honest evaluation with as much honesty as possible.
Some Masons are good people. The Masons do great work with their burn treatment centers. Some Masons systematically abuse children and those good Masons and those that that are not call each other brother. They own that for me. So the Masons as a group like any other group are not intrinsically good and I do not think of them that way.
There is no group that I know of that has faced they have a child abuse problem. Certainly not the Catholic church. They are now blaming the sexual revolution on their problem.
It all seems to go away when I look at people as individuals and they act as individuals. Kinda if they want to tell me they are a good person because they are a Mason, teacher, minister, doctor, artist ect. I do not buy it ever. I do not buy that someone is special because they are a mother.
I do not buy that because a person has been abused that they are a good person. I know people in treatment for their own purposes. I would like to think as a group that people that are healing from trauma are better people. In a way that would make me part of something intrinsically good. As I write I guess I do think that and that it is likely a delusion.
I’m glad you posted this, Faith. I think that ritual abuse survivors can help each other alot by untangling their feelings about being abused by very organised, hierarchical groups of psychopaths. By whatever name they go. In my experience, this is the element of our issues with which classic child abuse therapists may have the most difficulty when you present it to them. They probably could do with the sort of skills that are used by therapists for those who have survived torture in war camps, or a sophisticated hostage situation, because the experience of being at the hands of the cult abusers is more like one of those experiences.
I agree with Michael that the occult practices of abuse have been handed down for generations, and also that it’s necessary not to accord them more power by believing them to be all-powerful, even if they do get away with such a lot of heinous crimes.
Ax,
I agree that most therapist have difficulty with dealing with those that have experienced abuse by cults. Often they see it as the same as other abuse and believe the results are the same.
Cults are not all the same and each persons experience with a cult will not be the same.
true michael “fair enough”, i have read alot of testemonys from former victims (like yourselfs) and thats why i beileve “is the high ups” on top of the payroll in these hUMAN TRAFFICKINGB”organisations” I even read david shuter’S testemony on (David shurter.com ) O M G :O :O :O (his father was a satanic high priest (he was a victim himself as were many other people who tryed to tell “But got ‘shut down” and not “beleived”, (dead now) david is 100 percent positive his fathers family (“Satanic cult/s people connections) in the cult) were responsible for many children who had gone missing and were kidnapped for this purpose (jacob wetterling, ricky chadek, to name a few in Omaha, ) (johnny goesch was mentioned as well) (have you seen johnny goeschs mums website about her son) (same thing) (hes been “in hiding for years” because of what he knows they will “Kill him”) and other places, etc) he even told F B i (police forces all of this and gave them alot of information about his family as the sketch they released was according to david shurter his (FATHER) Well the police f b1, (etc) totally “changed the desription “,etc and wouldn’t listen to him “blocked his information” “shut it all down” etc, he emailed news reporters many repoters with his information and his information was “Blocked” totally Rubbished” (Cover up!!) this is why i beleive they are totally involved you can read this on his website shurter.com)
Yep definatly all connected michael (david shurter) (just was relooking at information again on his site) he was bought and sold often as a kid to whitehouse poititions?F B I?all all the “high ups”, he was in mk-ultra as well like yourself His family was heavily involved when he was a kid with the Franklin credit union cover up as well he says also that The False Memory Syndrome foundaion (strongly involved also) is funded by ( N A M B L A )
(Barsteds!!)
oops :O i meant to say “Funded” and “connected “to N A M B L A (false memory sydrome foundation) thats why alot of people get rubbished and not believed (“satanic panic )(” they call it) (and its rubbished and covered up)The high ups are ALL involved

I also have triggering in association with the Masons. My grandfather was a cult leader and was also a Mason, however my memories are not specific enough to remember the details of lodges, clothing, etc.
Much of your story Faith rings true for me including pornography and sibling threats. I am constantly amazed by how we all have a unique story with so many common threads. I had never before considered satanic abuse as a “cover” for these other activities, but it does make a lot of sense. Who would believe the “crazy” child coming up with stories of bizarre rituals? I am going to think more on this, because I believe there was clearly more emphasis on the ritual and not on “worship”. It was as if going through the motions without any real meaning attached to it.
While I think there is certainly enough of us who can cite Freemason involvement, I think we also must exercise caution in labeling anyone who is a Mason as an abuser. I also have men in my life who I trust who are Masons. There are those who practice good and bad behaviors in all parts of our society.

I totally agree with you here, Michael.

SWD,
And it seems that there is no loss. If they are really a good person or special than it feels to me like I am honoring that more.
My therapist said that the therapeutic relationship is different. I was a tad angry bout sumpin and said maybe yours all are mine have not been.
I expect that her therapeutic relationships have all been different.
I brought as much as I could to each therapeutic relationships so I am going with it was not me. Allowing for sometimes people just click and that I may be in error and it was me.
malanie here. been awhile since i posted. i had someone at work discover i was posting on isurvive and i assumed as it was in the login space on a computer (their email address) that they were an isurvive member. it appears possibly not so. another isurvive member brought up the connection that “someone” might not wish me to speak. ?? i thought of this tie in with my grandfather. i wrote of it here. i am some scared topost this, but wanted input. anyone?
i also posted on dependence compulsion thread where my original post started.
be kind always,
This is especially relevant now, with the daughter Hillary Adams uploading hte video of her Judge father William Adams beating her. All US judges are Freemasons, and the Texas prosecutor just announced there will be no prosecution of this heinous act. Many feel the beating has elements of sexual violence, and since the daughter is disabled (no matter how slight) there is a possibility the Statute of Limitations for abuse of a minor is 10 years, and prosecution can proceed. But I am advocating for a petition for Hillary’s Law, no statue of limitations where DV against a child is concerned, in every state in the nation. And a rider that if the alleged perp is a US judge or LW officer, special additions to be added to the charges.
I believe you all are very brave in writing and sharing your experiences. I don’t know what my family was involved with but there was consistent on-going activities that included child pornography and child sexual abuse. I remember wanting to protect my sister. I also remember getting pregnant at a very early age and having the baby at a private home. I don’t know what happened to the baby. The group was made up of Irish German Catholics. It was organized. The group provided kids for select groups in upstate NY. I wonder if I will ever really know all that happened or what the larger group was. It has effected my whole life. Thanks for listening. EK
