Abraham Lincoln & Freemasonry

[allodial]

(You might do best to check this thread first.)

The below quote, though not in the below audio is from a volume 3 of a book called Scarlet & the Beast by a John Daniel. As to the truth of John Daniel's book, I make no assertions. However, it might give insight as to the there being strong distinctions between early 1700s Masonic lodges (which seem to have then been social clubs rather than religious orders) in early America and French/English Freemasonry. Lincoln apparently was not a Freemason at all.

There are two reasons why the British Masonic conspiracy plunged America into civil war. First, British bankers wanted to establish a permanent central bank under their total control. Second, British Freemasonry wanted to divide powerful America into two weak nations for easy conquest. Information on the latter half of the plan was first published in “The Present Attempt to Dissolve the American Union: A British Aristocratic Plot” (1862), by Samuel Morse (1791-1872), an American artist and inventor, who was also an American counter-intelligence specialist.

Against this British intrusion into American politics, finance, and industry, General Albert Pike initiated the southern rebellion. In 1859 the Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry founded the Knights of the Golden Circle as a front to direct the insurrection.

Had it not been for Abraham Lincoln, English Freemasonry would have succeeded. When Lincoln restored the Union, the British Brotherhood, out of revenge, plotted his assassination. The Knights of the Golden Circle, bankrolled by British Masonic interests, selected John Wilkes Booth, a 33rd degree Mason and member of Mazzini´s Young America, for the task.

The following is part one of two-part audio concerning Abraham Lincoln's lack of involvement in Freemasonry. Each of the two parts is only about ten minutes long and worth listening to IMHO.
