While officially it started in England, actually Officially it will be slightly over 300 years since it started in London. Its origin goes; back to the medieval period when Cathedral Build formed a guild to help those who were out of work. --------------------------------------------------------------
Doc, Freemasons are all over the place. The signers of the US declaration of independence had several Freemasons in the group. In E. Africa, all the top industrialists were/are Freemasons. The organization is like a club for the rich in which each is given his place or rank and then they decide who will pick up which govt and/or private contracts. I have seen several Dar es Salaam Goans at Freemason functions when our band played. At one function, our band included a Goan Catholic priest - so that was interesting. The Catholic church still forbids Catholics from becoming Freemasons but then again, this is the same church that arrested Galileo for suggesting that the earth was not the center of the universe. WRT the German sitting on the English throne, she has been the Head of State of the largest empire known to man and has approved every law and action taken by her govts since 1952. All those freedom fighters who had to sacrifice their lives for independence - have Queen Lizzy to thank. All those who abused native American children knowing perfectly well that they would never be charged - also have Lizzy to thank. Arresting Queen Elizabeth would be a dream situation. On the other hand, bonnie Prince Charles will do a better job of destroying the British monarchy should he ever get coronated (Coronated here has nothing to do with Covid19) ;-) Mervyn
