So, I just read a post on a news group talking about how Freemasons where behind the earthquake in Hati. Not sure how we did it yet, the replies talked about the voodoo that we do.

I cannot help but wonder what we will be blamed for next.

When do I get to learn how to cause earthquakes and hurricanes? That was not in any of my proficiency tests! What else are my Brothers in the Lodge hiding from me?! Where is my golden key and map to the treasure? I'm just joking, obviously.

I guess this kind of article further proves that people are always looking for someone to blame for something terrible that happens that they cannot explain. Even though explaining how an earthquake occurs is a rather simple task. Some peoples' hatred and scorn for something really seems to blind them to even the most obvious and common-sense explanations as to why things happen. Do these people really think that their opinions, with no evidence to back it up, will make other people truly believe that Masons are somehow capable of influencing geological events?!

WOW....not only do I have the pleasure of being able to take over the world once I am raised but I can do earthquakes too..... I guess I will not have to worry about the promotional exams...I will be a world ruler...a Lt or Capt just doesnt compare to that.

NOW I am super excited to do my EA this coming up week. Do I get any super powers then???

In my line of work, we say if it wasnt for stupid people we wouldnt have a job......

I would like to know how in the world the Free Mason's are able to cause an earthquake. The last time I checked, only mother nature can control what happens beneath our feet, not us.

Native, I thought the same thing to but I guess according to the people that "know the truth " about Freemasons, we do earthquakes too. I find it amazing that some people can actually say things like this with a straight face.

I know I probably wont be leading any take overs of the world, I have a hard enough time getting the kids to wash dishes, take out the trash and clean their rooms.

Well here are a few excerpts from the topic on alt.freemasonry titled
FAQ: were US Freemasons behind the earthquake in Catholic Haiti?

There were more, but some where short, such as the fact we are running the HARP Project.

My guess is they were. Nuclear testing and all that. Strange how there 
are  so many impoverished Catholic countries on the doorstep of the USA. 
One  would think the WASPs actually had an official policy to destroy 
these  countries.

The secret arts of Freemasonic Haitian voodoo. 
By the time of the Haitian Revolution, there were already several 
Masonic  lodges catering to French colonists. The idea of mystical 
fraternities also  appealed to Haitians whose ancestors had developed 
their own secret  societies in Africa. After Independence, they joined 
Masonic lodges in great  numbers and freely used fraternal imagery in 
other sacred contexts. The  all-seeing eye, pyramid, square and 
compass, skull and crossbones, pick,  shovel, top hat, and other 
funereal symbols are especially prevalent in  imagery evoking the Gedes 
and the Bawon Samdi.

This one came out of no where in the thread:

I remind you that US Freemasons seized over half of Mexico's territory 
and  never gave a fig for the thousands of Mexicans who became US 
citizens  overnight. Not to mention the poor bloody First Nation Folk 
who were caught  up in this abomination and found their lands 
partitoned.

I have to agree, how can people say these thing with a straight face is way beyond me. This just one of those things I guess that we have to just swallow with a grain of salt.

Look at all the books in print today that state what Freemasons are to blame for. But an earthquake -- I suppose it goes along with the dictator of Venezuela stating that the United States has a weapon that causes earthquakes and we (US) was trying it out on Haiti before using it on Iraq.

I can only shake my head in dismay .I think people have to much time on their hands and need to step away from the internet .
