Not so sure I can agree with you there TSW. There is not direct and easy to see connection; however, it is a fact that the Freemason's train their adherents to lie, when it will suits their need to stonewall, cover up, deflect and disengage any argument or criticism with their disturbing practices, and hidden agenda. Sound familiar?
And also, while this will upset our Mormon friends - the history of the LDS deeply involves freemasonry, and the two share the same organizational structure, an identical use of symbolism, and ceremonies, and the same "secret" aims for society. This may have something to do with what WWASP is doing - apart from the commonly shared goal to attain wealth by what ever means possible. Attaining wealth is what one common doctrines claim proves you are in favor with the higher powers. It matters not one whit if you lie and de-fraud to gain this wealth. The fact you have it, proves you are in favor with "god".

MASONRY'S "ROYAL SECRET"
http://www.saintsalive.com/freemasonry/fmnewage.htmQuote:
On page 861 of Morals and Dogma of The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, "prepared for the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third Degree, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, and Published by its Authority " in 1871, Albert Pike, Masonry's most distinguished authority, concludes his lengthy and authoritative work with these words:
"The Royal Secret, of which you are a Prince, if you are a true adept... is that which the Sohar [a book of the Kabalah] terms The Mystery of the Balance. It is the Secret of the Universal Equilibrium....Such, my Brother, is the True Word of a Master Mason; such the true Royal Secret, which makes possible, and shall at length make real, the Holy Empire of true Masonic Brotherhood." [Albert Pike, p.861, Morals and Dogma; L.H. Jenkins, Inc., Richmond, Va., 1924].
This statement discloses the ultimate goal of Masonry: to establish what Pike calls a "Holy Empire." This "empire" is to be a one-world government; it will be "holy" because it will be ruled by the Princes of the New Age World religion. This New World Order, Pike says, will be the "true Masonic Brotherhood."
http://www.freemasonrywatch.org/Many people still do not understand the importance of studying this subject to its logical conclusion. Their spiritual freedom is at stake. Remember two things about Masonry:
1) Superior Masons deliberately lie to their fellow Masons, as those Masons "deserve to be mislead;"
2) Explanations given to 95% of all Masons are wrong. This quote from Masonic author, Carl Claudy sums it all up: "Cut through the outer shell and find a meaning; cut through that meaning and find another; under it, if you dig deep enough, you may find a third, a fourth -- who shall say how many teachings?" Many who are in Masonry are not aware that they are lied to. Finally, remember Albert Pike's bold assertion in Morals & Dogma, that "Masonry is identical to the ancient Mysteries," which means that all their teachings in all their books are precisely the same as the Ancient, Pagan, Satanic Mysteries. [p. 624, teachings of the 28th Degree]
